Jan. 15, 1970Ohio State’s new $2 million Health Center, behind Townshend Hall, tries to make medical treatment a “one-trip process,” according to Lenard C. Barney, assistant director.
Increased automation, expanded laboratory facilities and a pharmacy on the premises mean that students can now be examined, tested, treated and released in a two-hour period, according to Barney.
In the old, smaller health service facility in the Student Services Building, they might have had to return days later for test results, Barney said.
Jan. 16, 1976After years of Stradley Hall being known as the most unruly dorm on South Campus, residence directors are trying to change its image.
“In previous years Stradley has clearly been the worst dorm on South Campus for elevator and corridor damages,” said John D. Heidke, area director for residence and dining halls. Stradley’s damages last year were twice as high as other male or coeducational dorms on South Campus,” he said.
Heidke said the term dorm damages includes broken ceiling tile, broken light fixtures, broken windows and glass, obscenities written on the walls and the destruction of study lounge furniture.
Jan. 15, 1980Students enrolled in Classics 222 are not only members of one of OSU’s largest courses, but in a class that is “the envy of every classics department in the country,” John W. Vaughn, assistant professor of classics said.
This classical mythology course consists of lectures and individual tape and slide work in the University Hall learning resource center.
Classics 222 is taught autumn through spring quarter and enrollment increases respectively, he said. The largest and first class Vaugh said he taught was during spring quarter 1975, with 750 students enrolled and a waiting list of 75.
The largest lecture hall on campus, in Independence Hall is 750, he said.
Jan. 14, 1982An Ohio Senate/House conference committee gave strong indications it will decide against placing a medium-security prison hospital on the OSU campus.
Several committee members said they favor placing the prison hospital at the same site as a proposed 110-bed psychological services center for prisoners – a plan that would take OSU out of the picture.
The committee is meeting to reach a compromise between the Senate and House versions of a controversial $484 million prison construction bill.
Jan, 16, 1997If you could use a good laugh to relieve some stress in your life, then look no further.
Comedian Dane Cook, best known for his work on Comedy Central’s “Stand Up Stand Up,” will appear tonight at Woody’s Bar in the Ohio Union at 7.
If there is a good turnout to Cook’s show and to those of other scheduled comedians, the SEC will be able to bring many other well known performers to Ohio State, said Catlett, a junior majoring in political science.
“He’s a quality performer for a great price,’ said Phil Smith, a senior in political science and vice president of SEC’s special events committee. “He’s someone who’s up and coming in Hollywood.”
There will be a $3 cover charge at the door.

Jan. 18, 2000Students were met with frustration Monday when they were unable to check their e-mail after the long Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. Few, including some lab assistants in on-campus computer labs, knew the interruption in e-mail service was a planned upgrade.
A recorded message at University Technology Services` HELP line said that the e-mail system would be down for upgrading on Monday from 4 a.m. to early evening. A phone number for upgrade status also was provided. Calls placed Monday evening to this number, the automated status system at OSU’s Network Operations Center, were rerouted back to the original recording.
Jan. 16, 2000Columbus is now the country’s 10th fattest city, and that’s an improvement.
This February’s issue of Men’s Fitness contains the 6th annual Fattest and Fittest list of 2003, with Columbus moving to 10th fattest – an improvement from 8th in last year’s list – and Cleveland coming in one spot worse at No. 9. This year, Detroit tops the list as the fattest city in the country, with Honolulu as the most fit.
When compiling the rankings, the study considers 14 factors which fall into four categories: healthy habits, risk factors, environment and urban attributes. Each factor receives a letter grade.
Columbus earned an “A” for exercise-sports participation – one of the main reasons for the city’s overall improved ranking. Columbus leads the nation in recreational walking. According to the report, nearly one of every two residents participates.
Other areas continue to be detrimental to Columbus’ fitness level, including TV watching and poor nutrition, in which the city received a “D” and “D-” respectively. Popular activities which do not help the fitness level in Columbus include billiards – for which the city placed first nationwide – and bowling – for which it is fourth.
