Mrs. Alice McKenzie, Supervisor of Aides VRA The VRA is directed by big Bob Urie and ably assisted by Mrs. iVIcKenzie. It is a group of student assistants and so-called handi- capped students who can be seen all over campus or in town. Most of the boys are show-offs with their wheel stands and the girls double this with their stops and starts that sound like squalling rubber. The program is a great one, one of the truly fine organizations on campus. Perhaps one of the most distinguished facets of the program is its ability to really throw a picnic. But if this keeps up, and Charley Pratt gets any fatter, he won ' t be able to get up and down the cafe- teria aisles. Mr. Robert M. Urie. Director, Rehabilitation Ser- vices 29

Outside it looks like the launching gantry for a Titan Missile, and inside, the second and third floors look like the cafeteria at Alcatraz. All kidding aside, the library is really a great place — for books. In fact, you can find hun- dreds of them there, and if you can ' t find the one you want, Mr. Lietz and his able-bodied staff of worms and librarians will probably locate it for you in Chapel Hill or somewhere. Really the DeTamble playground has come a long way under the limited funds it has to work with, and can honestly and deservedly be claimed as one of the campus sources of pride. The staff and fa- cilities are among the best for a college this size. 28 WNiUil t ' ! K M

■ lit INFIRMARY If you are feeling sick or not quite top-of-the-morning, gargle, take aspirin, make an appointment witfi Barbara Olson, or consult the Ouija Board. If these resources are not available to you, then wait until 6 a.m. the next morning and crawl over to the infirmary. It ' s a lovely little white shack out in the woods somewhere on the outer extremi- ties of the northeastern corner of the campus. You had better crawl fast because the Doc disappears at 7:00 sharp. When you get there the nice people stuff a pen in your hand and a thermometer in your mouth; then sit back and smile while you go through a series of fits comparable to the delirium tre- mens. When this formality is com- pleted, they tell you not to worry, that everything will be all right, and then they smother you with an old army blanket. It ' s really not all that bad, be- cause the orange juice is good. Under the circumstances, Mrs. Stephens, Mrs. Mohn, and Mrs. Harrold do a superb job with the facilities they have at hand. All three are truly concerned and sympathetic when a student is ill and do everything in their power to aid his or her recovery. Taking all this into consideration, however, it is sometimes better and even healthier to try voodoo or magic to get the cure. Selah A. Stephens, Supervisor of Health Center Frances W. Harrold, Infirmary Nurse Assistant 30 Hiiiiiiiii
