The leaders "trap" orientees by
scheduling important meetings directly
after New Games, so that if students
miss the games they miss the meetings.
Sheeran said he feels the games are a
good way for orientees to become *
acquainted. "The first day (of orien-
tation) is really long," he said. "The

RHONDA BARNAT, an editor at
University Hospital's public infor-
mation office, called the recent
shooting death of hospital ad-
ministrator Donald Koos "unfor-
tunate."
Other than the shooting, Barnat said
the most interesting thing at the
Hospital has been a financial turn-
around. In the past six months, the
hospital has cut a $1.7 million deficit to
$200,000, and expects to hit the break-

this month.

tributed the reduction to an increase in
patient days and revenues, more ef-
ficient allocation and use of patient
beds, a hospital-wide austerity
program, deferral of capital expen-
ditures and necessary rate increases in
clinics and laboratories.
