Perhaps the most serious criticism is that the Health Services does not have an ambulance and sometimes appears unequipped to handle emergencies; house calls are made under only the gravest circumstances. 'Cliffies complain of the rather long walk from the quad to Holyoke Center when they are ill during the winter months...
Forward-looking labor leaders are sure that they will have to find "new markets," branching out from old-line industries, and that is not always easy.

People who have had whiplash accidents sometimes complain of blinding headaches, partial paralysis, dizziness, deafness, blindness-and inability to tolerate alcohol.

Optimistic claims have also been made for the administration of a synthetic hormone, similar to testosterone, to speed up the C.F. victim's metabolism. But some doctors complain that improvement after the treatment is mainly superficial and usually shortlived. There is the disadvantage that after a brief growth spurt, a child may be permanently stunted because the hormone shuts down the epiphyses (growth ends) of long bones. Beyond such controversy, the most encouraging news about C.F. is that the combined effect of all the treatments...
