BEGINNING TO SEE LIGHT:
There's Much More To Pai'
Of Glasses Than Meets Eye
Unique House on Chtirch Street
Is Surrounded by East Quad
In these days of intensive spe-
cialization, the faulty-visioned
person is faced with a three-
horned dilemma when it comes to
selecting the man who is going to
prescribe the eye-glasses.
In an effort to straighten out
this problem we consulted a few
local professional eye men to get
the word on the differences among
the opthamologists, oculists, cp-
temetrists, and opticians.
Well, to begin with, the optham-
ologist is the most highly-skilled
of all. In addition to the regular
eight years required for the M.D.
degree he generally spends an-
Mitchell Wins
Iearst Contest
Speech Major Takes
State Championship
r
Don Mitchell, a senior speech
major from San Bernardino, Cal-
" if., went :to Detroit Tuesday,
spoke for six minutes on Benja-
min Franklin, and returned with
the State Championship in the
annual Hearst Oratorical Con-
test.
In addition to the $150 State
prize, Mitchell won a chance to
go to Chicago May 10 to compete
in the Midwestern zone elimi-
nations, and then-he hopes-to
try for the national champin-
ship.
In his first crack at the Hearst
contest last year, he got only as
far as the campus championship.
He has also won the annual
Northern Oratorical League Con-
test among Big Nine schools.
Intending to make a career of
law, Mitchell has been active in
Play Production, radio, and de-
bate.
other °three years in intensive
study of the eye. His work is thus
refined to treatment and exami-
nation of the eye only, a large
share of which is surgical.
The oculist, also an M.D., does
not specialize as keenly as the op-
thamologist in that he generally
combines his practice with ear,
nose, and throat treatment The
oculist is trained for surgical work,
but it is not the general practice
for them to handle surgical cases.
These are referred to the optha-
mologist in mose cases.
Even though the optometrist
does not receive the medical de-
gree,he is licensed by the state in
which he practices to conduct Pye
examinations.
Although standards of the op-
tometrist are high . . . requiring
four years of schooling in some
states, and five years in others,
they are not licensed to perform
surgery or administer medication.
Theservices of the optician are
in another category entirely. He
may be one who sells or manufac-
tures optical equipment, or one
who grinds the prescriptions, se-
lects the size and shape of frame,
and adjusts the glasses to the pa-
tient..
Wilson R.. Staples, local opti-
cian, told us that it isn't neces-
sarily the imposing array of spe-
cialists confronting a person who
needs glasses that keeps him from
attending to it. It is rather that
he would rather spend his money
on something he considers more
practical, like a lawnmower, or a
new radio for the car than eye-
glasses.
"Most people will swear up and
down that they don't need glasses.
'I can see everything there is to
see. . .. I've never worn glasses in
my life' is the usual cry. They're
often amazed at the results of the
examination," said Staples.

house to the University when con-
struction of the East Quad was
begun. Actually, the University
owns both the house and the land
it occupies.
Several other houses on the
tract of land now occupied by the
dormitory were razed to make
room for construction of the East
Quad annex. Blueprints for the
dormitory extension revealed,
however, that it would be unneces-
sary to remove the Church Street
house. Because of the housing
shortage, University officials de-
cided to leave it standing.
The house, a large brown stuc-
co building is now occupied by the
families of two construction of-
flicials.
Raymond C. Daly, one of the
officials, said that he expects to
reside in the house indefinitely.
"The house will eventually be re-
moved at the discretion of Uni-
versity officials," he said. Daly
intends to reside in the house un-
til the.University decides to re-
move it.
