Clinical Experience Signi' Receiving and Radiology The receiving section offers the junior and senior student the opportunity to meet the public in a client-doctor atmosphere. It is this section that the students hear praises and complaints from normal and neurotic owners. Each animal is given a complete physical and a tentative diagnosis is found. Any animal entering or leaving the hospital must go through receiving. Students in receiving are also assigned to the radiology section where skill is obtained in handling and radiographing small and large animals. A good guess is often re- quired in trying to read some of the self evident radiographs. Small Animal Receiving fP.R. at its bestj.

The Latest in TEMPORARY VETERINARY HOSPITAL BUILDING PROGRAM m' ,lore WAGNER,VIi1'. Mm, Il The department of Veterinary Clinics and Departments of Medicine, Surgery and Radiology will be moved into a temporary facility for a period of two years while the permanent hospital is being planned and completed. fPlans for the permanent clinic are now in the pro- cess of being drawn.J The temporary structure fsee photol will be a 270'x216' Butler insulated semi-prefabricated steel building. The external shell is to be completed July 1, 1965, the large ani- mal section completed August 1, and the small animal section and supporting areas, September 15. In order to make the move and at- tempt not to jeopardize the quality of student instruction, the entire senior class will attend one eight week sum- mer term beginning June 5 and ending August 1, 1965. To facilitate moving the equipment from the present build- ing, the small animal hospital will be closed August 1 and reopened Septem- ber 27. The large animal hospital will move into the temporary facility Aug- ust 1 and thus operate continuously. About twenty-five senior students will be hired to assist the clinicians in the large animal clinic and the supporting clinical services after August 1. The interior of the clinic will be di- vided into 2 major areas: office space and animal wards. The former will con- sist of hazy glass partitions which ex- tend only part Way to the ceiling. These divisions are being obtained from the recently vacated Chemical Abstracts building. The latter will consist of con- crete block partitions extending to the ceiling, thus providing quiet Working facilities in the office areas. Furthermore, the parking facilities will be quite adequate. A total of 260 parking spaces are to be provided: fac- ultjg 4681, students C1619 and visitors Q31 . No new equipment is to be purchased for the temporary clinic and all salvable material such as cage doors, gates and stanchions will be installed for use in the temporary clinic. Veterinary Clinics A BEAUTIFUL 4 COLOR FULL PAGE PIC- TURE OF the new Veterinary Clinic was supposed to go on this page. However, due to the last big storm which leaked into the present Veterinary Garage and ruined the negatives, we are unable at this printing to present a picture of the new Clinic. Although this clinic is designed to be used by the students at certain specified times, most of the plans are secret and cannot be seen by the students. Our staff was able, with much skill and devious maneu- vering, to find out a few important facts. 1. The new clinic will not be turned into another path building at least for the first year. 2. The new clinic will contain nine times as many johns as the old clinic. 3. The present supply of cockroaches and ticks will be kept intact with the new clinic. 4. New plastic cards will be supplied for the clini- cal labs. 5. The largest leak in the ceiling of the garage will be moved and exactly reconstructed into the roof of the new clinic. 6. Automobile hoists and jacks will not be included in the new flooring. Since this is all we know about the new clinic we are including an article from the Spring 1965 Speculum telling of the glory of our present build- ing. In order to repeat part of the Speculum's specu- lations, as it stands now, the new clinic will be ready for occupancy in 2 yrs. for sob .

ant Part of Curriculum Small Animal Medicine Dogs, cats, parakeets, Canaries, chinchillas, rabbits, and monkeys are many of the animals treated in this section. Junior and senior students in this section have their own cases which they treat-and hopefully cure. Baths, brushings, prophylactic dental treatment, and reticulocyte counts, are part of the everyday treat- ments that are learned in this section. This section al- lows the students to work up their own cases, decide fwith approvalj their own regimen of therapy, and suc- cessfully treat their cases so they can be released to their owners. Most of the faculty in this section are born healers. Dogs and cats are not the only animals treated in this section-though at times maybe it should be that way. 3l
