The Radcliffe Health Committee conferred yesterday with Dr. Sholem Postel, Director of the Radcliffe Health Center, to discuss mutual complaints concerning the Health Center and Radcliffe students' attitudes towards it.
One of the students' chief complaints was the disorganization of the Health Center during the recent flu epidemic. Many girls were forced to remain in the dormitories while running high temperatures, and others were summoned to the Center only to be denied admittance.
Dr. Postel explained that such problems would be avoided under the new system of a combined Harvard-Radcliffe Health Service, providing greatly improved and expanded facilitiles.
Judy Todd '58, is chairman of the Committee, which has recently been reorganized. The meetings with Dr. Postel will continue weekly through this winter.
