Hospital Erects
Clinical Office
Building Here
A two- story temporary struc
ture for clinical facilities is be
ing constructed at Loma Lin
da University Hospital with
completion in near future. The
building will contain 14 offices
and is located near the en
trance across from the Hill
Church.
It was necessary to erect this
building, says Clarence A. Mil
ler, hospital and campus busi
ness administrator, as there
otherwise would be no facilities
available for several hospital
and faculty staff members. The
building will ' be used for this
purpose until we can move into
the medical center in 1967,
states Mr. Miller.
Hospital planning reported
on this page reveals that the
University Hospital will be util
ized for convalescent care
when the medical center has
been completed. Mr. Miller
says that 80 beds will be main
tained for long- term convales
cent patients.
The University Administra
tion also has plans for future
utilization of the present hospi
tal facilities.

The University was host this
week to an illustrious guest,
Dr. Mario Polar Ugarthece,
vice president of the Republic
of Peru and a law professor at
the University of Lima.
Dr. Polar, his wife and their
two children visited the Uni
versity April 27 while they
were in southern California on
an official state visit celebrat
ing the goodwill enjoyed be
tween their nation and the
United States. He represented
Peru at the Pan American
Friendship Week, which con
cluded prior to his University
visit.
The vice president spoke
with the aid of an interpreter
at the Monday morning convo
cation before students, faculty
and employees of the Univer
sity in the University Church.
He stressed the need for a
closer acquaintance between
the United States and Peru,
saying that the " solidarity of
the two Americas is vital."
" We are not united by geo
graphy or history," he said,
" but by destiny." Emphasizing
the need for solidarity, Dr.
Polar pointed out that the Unit
ed States depends more every
day upon its external relations,
therefo- e good will and security
depend upon the stability of
other countries, especially
those in South America.
Following Dr. Polar's ad
dress, he conducted a news
conference answering questions
about Peruvian- Latin Amer
ican affairs.
Accompanying Dr. and Mrs.
Polar throughout their stay at
the University were Dr. and
Mrs. Robert M. Aragon, of Pa
sadena, who served as inter
preters. Dr. Aragon is an as
sociate member of the School
of Medicine Alumni Associa
tion.
Accompanying the daughter
and son, Claudia and Alonso,
were Karen R. Fillman, PT64,
and A. Wilberth Gonzalez, SM 67.
Mrs. Polar visited the Uni
versity Cerebral Palsy Center
where Bertha M. Appleton, ed
ucational director, conducted a
tour of the facilities.
