the team's administrative assist
ant.
Sponsoring the trip were a
number of private citizens,
mostly of Greek descent, who
have been active in the past in
bringing cardiac patients from
of Rights. Following the
United States Air Force color
guard's presentation of the flag,
patriotic music was played by
the University Band. Wilfred J.

Hospitals, was leveled.
Robert E. Cleveland, PhD,
vice president for academic af
fairs and chairman of the Uni
versity's campus space commit
tee,- said that approximately 40
percent of the total old hospital
building would have to come
down.
Present day construction
standards do not permit occu
pying a four- story building of
wood construction, according to
Dr. Cleveland. The center sec
tion of the old hospital has three
stories and a basement which,
according to fire regulations, is
considered four stories.
Original plans for the use of
the vacated hospital building in
cluded offices for various staff
members of public relations and
development and for the School
of Public Health and the School
of Health Related Professions.
Now that the building has
been condemned, only the
School of Public Health and the
School of Health Related Pro
fessions will occupy the remain
ing space, Dr. Cleveland states.
The west whig of the hospital,
formerly housing the ambula
tory patients unit and doctors'
offices, will be remodeled for the
School of Public Health.
The three- floor east wing will
also be remodeled and be divid
ed between the Schools of Pub
lic Health and Health Related
Professions.
The School of Public Health
will also occupy the Hector
Memorial Clinical Laboratory,
which is a fairly recently con
structed building.
According to Dr. Cleveland,
the former Medical Specialities
building, a " portable" building
constructed in three sections,
has been assigned to the School
of Dentistry and will be moved
at a later date.
Land left vacant by the re
moval of the structures will be
landscaped.
Also scheduled for demolition
is the old Tropical and Preven-
