New Health Policy
lr.

In the past eight months there have been two changes in
the University's medical policy and now a third seems in the
ofiing.

The

first of the three came when the Fayette County

Medical Society objected to the University Health Service giving flu shots to faculty members and their families at the cost
of the serum.
The second change saw the Kentucky Rehabilitation Center's practice ol using indigent patients in its studies called
to a halt. And by whom? The Fa)ette County Medical Society, again.
The third change bids fair to affect the students considerably. According to this new plan students would have to have
physical examinations by private physicians before reporting
to the University. And it smells as though the society's larger
brother, the Kentucky Medical Association, or at least its members, stands to gain from this one.
THIS IS BEGINNING to look like a union trying to secure a closed shop.
Unless one's senses of perception are completely numb the
next step is already mapped. That will be to cut off shots to
students at the cost of the serum and force them to get them
from private physicians.
As is usual in such cases, several reasons were offered as

to why the new change should be made. Let us examine
their validity.
(1) THE STUDENT'S HEALTH EVALUATION will be
performed by the physician who knows him best. This is pure
Jiogwash in most cases. Most students don't have a regular
physician, in fact, many of them have probably never visited
the same one twice.
(2) THE IMPORTANCE OF PERIODIC HEALTH examinations and maintenance of medical contacts in the home
community will be stressed. This is completely illogical. The
student spends anywhere from nine to 10 months out of each
period in Lexington. Seldom are they in
)ear for a four-yea- r
their hometown long enough" to justify this aim.
(3) EARLY TREATMENT OF remedial conditions and
maintenance of immunizations will be encouraged. Certainly
these could, be encouraged without the aid of a change in
plans.
(4) THE HEALTH SERVICE will be.more able to
its facilities on those students who have special problems. Now the question here is, what are "special problems?"
From all indications, this whole series of events has been
a collaboration between the medical profession, especially
locally, and the University's new Medical Center.
As nearly everyone knows, there was much opposition to

the part of the Kentucky Medical
Association. These changes have certainly been of a nature
to placate that group and gain their support of the school
whether that was the intention or not.
Locally, the Fayette County Medical Society has crusaded
for the first two changes on the charges that they would kil a
sort of socialied medicine. Under this ideological banner,
these good physicians have applied considerable pressure,
enough to effect the changes.
THE REAL ISSUE IN THESE TWO CASES, in the dispute with the United Mine Workers, and in the entire crusade
against socialied medicine is a piece of green and white paper
with a dollar sign on it. Socialized medicine wouldn't allow
the exorbitant fees that some of them charge. No one begrudges a doctor a good living after the time and effort he puts
into building his career, but there is a limit to how much a
person can expect in return for his investment.
It's long past time someone in the field of public communications made note of their aims. Too long have newspapers
and other media stood in fear of this powerful Iobbing group.
Doctors are no more of a god than a plumber or bricklayer and it's time people were made aware of that fact in
spite of the physicians' propaganda.
IT'S SAID YOU CAN'T WIN a fight with a preacher or a
medical group. For the present" issue, iTTs too late to debate
that, but there sure isn't anything to prevent the citien and
student from trying the next time around.

Issue Handled
Very Badly
An interesting sidelight to the
Announcement of the change in the
University Health Service's operations was the confusion within the
administration.
Vicp President Peterson said he
knew nothing cf the change when
first contacted. He thought it
would have to be approved by the
Board of Trustees.
President Dickey stated that the
Board's approval wasn't necessary
to put the ruling into effect. Dr.
Sprague, director of the Health
Service and author of the article
announcing the change said the
Board had approved the plan while
Dean Willard seemed to be of the
same mind as Dr. Dickey.
All of which brings up the question of who is right.
Whover handled the whole project really botched it.
If by sheer accident someone
hadn't stumbled across the article
in the Kentucky Medical Association's Journal, it is quite likely the
public would have known nothing
of the change at all or until it was
already into effect. This procedure
smacks of the bureaucratic.
The administration may say that
such policy changes are the business of the University's administration only. This isn't the case.
The University is the taxpayers'
property and the administration is
accountable to them for any
changes it makes that may affect
them. And this ruling certainly
will influence them where It hurts
the most in the wallet.
The University would hate come
out far ahead if this information
had been made available to the
newspapers first hand. The handling of the entire matter ha cast
a suspicious light on the ruling
and the manner in which it was
negotiated.

Student Objects To SGA Constitution As It Stands
(ED. NOTE: The following article was written by Mr.
Norman, a member of the Kernel reportorial staff, to
express his views on the new SGA Constitution. It does
not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Kernel.)
By GURNEY NORMAN

The new constitution up for approval by the University
faculty is undesirable as it now stands. The faculty is
urged, to ask for certain revisions in various articles of the
document before adopting it as the official charter governing UK student government.

The proposed system of representation in the new eon
fctitution is unfair to many students. It would be possible
for an individual who is in Arts and Sciences, (with three
representatives), a member of the YMCA (one), a resident
of the dormitory (one), and a member of a social fraternto be represented in the congress five and
ity (one-fifth- ),
onr-fift- h
times, while a fellow Arts and Sciences classmate who lives in town and does not belong to the YMCA
would be represented only by the three delegates from
his college. (Article 4.)
This may appear to be a minor situation until one
tlances at the number of men students who live in town
and aie not affiliated with a fraternity or the YMCA.
According to estimated figures from the de.m of men's
cilice, there are about 4300 male students at UK. A total
of 2.185 men live off campus (out of University-maintaine- d
buildings). About 1900 of these are not affiliated
with a
