Ell their bluff on the city Of St. Paul in

l'r. Ancker, passes under the DONNA

It's all right to provide clinics for the

seems rather tough that poor people

lis that we would be rather sensitive on
this point, but possibly the folks who
go to the St. Paul hospital may not
have any feelings. We are long way
from the scene, and it really ism t our
affair, but, Just from the layman 8
standpoint, if it is such good thing
fo' the hospital to have students paw

must be clinics, but the consent of the
