ASC Name Change
Will Not Increase
| ak, Craig Claims

unwilling to argue the merits
OF Arizona States case for a uni
verSity name, opponents of pro-
position 200 will attempt to be-
cloud the real issue before the
voters Nov. by raising smoke
screen of inaccuracies about
increased costs and taxes"
This warning was issue today
to the Citizens for Arizona State
University by the groups gener-
al chairman, Walter E. Craig,
Phoenix attorney.
He pointed out that ct his
cleverly conEeived campaign is
based on the common appre-
henSion about increased costs
and taxes. He added that ".sirn-
pie, unfounded, assertion that
the name-change will drain a.
way funds from prospective jun
ior colleges is calculated to a.
rouse opposition to 200 in Sc
evral communities throughout
the state"
"It will be a diabolically clever
campaign" Craig said, "but it
cackS one essential ingredient,
the truth. And that will be the
source of it's ultimate downfall"
The truth about the matter"
he said, "is that the taxpayers of
the state have been supporting
two universities in fact for Sc
veral years, and changing the
name of Arizona State to Ari-
zona State University won't cost
a cent.
Opponents of proposition 200
apparently are counting on the
belief that the voters are una
ware that the state legislature,
sfting on the recommendations
of the board of regents, appro-
pirates funds for the schools.
These appropriations are made
on the basis of needs, not titles"
Craig also pointed out that
the consensus of presidents of
universities in other S t a t S
which recently adopted similar
name changes is that no costs
have increased by changing the
names.

Memorial Hospital Given
$4,000 Federal Grant

tial in bringing the hospital to
Phoenix and getting it placed
on the SouthSide where t h ere
was no hospitalizationt At the
close of the war a private board
took over the plant as nom
profit venture hoping to keep it
open for the needy, and the pro-
Ject has succeeded in gaining
the support of the entire Phoe-
nix community anC now of the
federal government.
A successful drive for funds
last year brought enough for the
hospital to make some needed
improvements for which federal
furCls could be used. A day nurs-
cry in which children of employee
eS could be cared for made it pos-
Slble for strategic persons with
children to be employed. The
temporary structure of the doc
tors home was completely re-
modelled and enlarged. The nur
seS home was remodeled into
f1fty-one new and very beauti-
full hospital rooms, ALL will
completely new furniture. These
are m S t y private rooms. A
completely new and enlarged
emergency suite was also added.
This has given a new look" to
the 7th Avenue side of the hos
pital.
The n w constructiorj for
which the 18O thousand dollars
was allocated by the federal gov
ernment will cost a total of
$3.50 thousands dollars. It will
consist of a completely new sur
gical suite of five oper rating
rooms and all new surgical e.
quipment. The present Memorial
operating roooms are busy some
times all day and far into the
night. The new rooms will re-
lieve this inadquate situation.

To receive these funds, which

m a y not be included, because
some other areas in the state
may have great emergency need
for increased or improved hos
pital facilities. This is the first
time Memorial has been includ-
ed in the ALLEGATION, although
it has met the qualifications for
number of years.
The Halliburton funds were
created by a bill introduced in
Congress some years ago by Con
gresham Burto17 and Senator
Hill, because the need for hos
pitalization in America was so
much greater than available IA

and are allocated to private,
