Logan Reaches Enrollment Goal Logan College reached its longterm enrollment goal with the entrance of a new class on September 4. Nearly 1,060 students are now enrolled at the college. "We plan to maintain our enrollment between 1,000 and 1,1 00 students," said Logan President Dr. George A. Goodman.

enrollment level by the year 2000, growing from fewer than 700 students in 1992." Dr. Goodman said the college's success in reaching its goal ahead of schedule was due to strong referrals of prospective students by practicing doctors and to outstanding work by the Admissions Office staff, under the leadership of Melvin "Bucky" Reynolds, MA, Dean of Admissions. "Our faculty and staff have done an o utstanding job of ensuring continued quality in our academic programs and in serving student needs during our period of rapid growth," added Dr. Goodman. "Our students have worked with us very co nstructively to help us overcome any problems related to the growth process, and we are very proud of their academic achievements and sense of professional ism."
As always, hurrying to classes and clinical rotations at Logan is all in a day's work for students.

Logan Participates in CCAT Pilot Program In 1997, Logan College will be one of three U.S. chiropractic colleges participating in a pilot project to determine the usefu lness and effectiveness of the Chiropractic College Assessment Test (CCAT). The test is being developed by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, sponsor of the pilot program. Dr. William Ramsey, Vice President of Academic Affairs at Logan, wi II oversee Logan's participation in the pilot program, along with Melvin " Bu cky" Reynolds, Dean of Student Enrollment. The first test will assess students' writing skills, grammatical knowledge and reading comprehension. Students' scores on the exam wi II not be used in making admission decisions, but will be used to predict whi ch students are likely to experience academic difficulties related to the skill areas tested. Logan's initial test will take place in january 1997 during the Trimester 1 orientation, with all enrolling students taking the CCAT. The second portion of the test coverin g sc ientifi c information and cr iti ca l thinking skills- will be given to students at Logan beginning in September 1997. Th eir scores o n the sc ientific portion of the test wi II be used for the same assessment purposes as the verbal test scores . Also participating in the pilot program for use of the CCAT wi II be New York and Western States chiropractic co lleges. Dr. Ramsey said th at after a period of testing and development of th e CCAT, the test could eventuall y become an assessment tool for all U.S. chiropracti c co lleges. Scores could be used in making placement dec isions, if th e co lleges choose to utili ze them in dec isio n-making.

Logan Faculty Members, Alumni Testify Before Missouri Legislators Dr. Norman W. Kettner, Chairperson of the Logan Radiology Department, and Dr. Leonard Suiter, a 1977 Logan graduate from West St. Louis County, co-chaired a Missouri State Chiropractors Association task force on managed care this past summer. The task force was charged with preparing presentation material and testifying before the Missouri legislature's Joint Interim Committee on Managed Care. Dr. Allen Parry, Dean of Postgraduate Education at Logan, was the task force's recording secretary. MSCA President Dr. Margaret Friehaut and Dr. Duane Marquart also served on the task force. Drs. Friehaut and Marquart graduated from Logan in 1979 and 1983, respectively. Both doctors practice in West St. Louis County. The Joint Interim Committee on Managed Care met in Jefferson City for a week in August, between sessions of the Missouri Senate and the Missouri House of Representatives. The bipartisan committee's purpose was to review managed care health programs and the effect they have on health care costs and coverage in Missouri. Missouri Senate President Pro Tem James Mathewson said the growth of managed care has been so rapid that it is in danger of outpacing reg ulatory laws under which managed care plans are governed. Information gathered by the bipartisan committee will be used in shaping future policies . Testifying before the committee, Dr. Kettner presented literature-based evidence on chiropractic's effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness to make a case for direct access for DCs in managed care systems. Dr. Kettner said legislators on the committee requested copies of several documents that he referenced during his presentation, including the 1994 AHCPR (Agency for Health Care Policy and Research) Guidelines and
the 1993 Manga Report, published by the Ontario Ministry of Health. Dr. Kettner's testi many represented chiropractic teaching institutions, while Dr. Suiter gave testimony representing MSCA. He discussed the impact of managed care on chiropra ct ic patients and practitioners when direct access is denied by managed care companies. Also testifying before the committee were Drs . Marc Hubbard of St. Louis and Bill Morter of Richland, Mo. - 1983 and 1980 Logan graduates, respectively. Dr. Hubbard also brought patients to Jefferson City, who provided lay testimony. Dr. Kettner said that other Logan alumni making important contributions to the MSCA task force 's work included Dr. Larry Gerstein, a 1979 graduate and Vice President of the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards. Dr. Gerstein also is Secretary
of the Missouri Board of Chiropractic Examiners . The MSCA task force met several times with MBCE representatives during the process of gathering its legislative testimony material. In addition, Dr. Kettner said Dr. Monica Smith, a Ph.D. degree candidate in Health Services Research at Saint Louis University, provided invaluable assistance in gathering data for the task force's testi many documents . A 1986 Logan graduate, Dr. Smith recently accepted an appointment at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. "The legislators seemed to have sincere interest in the challenges and concerns of a variety of health care providers in Missouri," said Dr. Kettner. "This was a great opportunity for chiropractic to take a visible position on the political 'radar screen' in Missouri ."

A Tribute to
Dr. Robert Schaffnit Dr. Robert C. Schaffnit is celebrating his 50th year in chiropractic practice this year. As an anniversary tribute to Dr. Schaffnit, three people who know him well- his son, Dr. Richard Schaffnit; his partner, Dr. Bill Schuver; and his wife, Millie Schaffnit- offered comments and information about his successful and inspiring career in chiropractic. A St. Louis native, Dr. Bob Schaffnit enrolled at Logan College in 1939. However, like many men of his generation, he had to delay completion of his education when he was inducted into military service when the United States entered World War II in 1941 . After a tour of duty that spanned Europe and Africa, Dr. Schaffnit returned to St. Louis to complete his chiropractic education. Upon graduating from Logan, he practiced in St. Louis for five years and then purchased a practice in Jamestown, N.Y. While he built his practic e in Jamestown, Dr. Schaffnit and his wife, Millie, raised three sons and three daughters. Their occupations span the fields of telecommunications administration/sa les, federal service, theater and nursing, with one chiropractor among them : Dr. Richard Schaffnit graduated from Logan in 1976. Dr. Schuver recalls Dr. Schaffnit's encouragement of his interest in chiropractic. "Dr. Schaffnit encouraged several young people to enter chiropractic," says Dr. Schuver, who graduated from Logan in 1987 . "He also referred Dr. Tamsin Pope to Logan; she worked with Dr. Schaffnit for one year before opening a practice." After graduating from Logan, Dr. Schuver entered practice with Dr. Schaffnit. In 1990, Dr. Schuver purchased an office building and asked Dr. Schaffnit to move with him .
The focused Dr. Schaffnit allows " no outside distractions to interfere with patient care," says his son, Or. Rick Schaffnit. "Working with Dr. Schaffnit has been very fulfilling, both personally and professionally," says Dr. Schuver. "He is a heal er with wonderful qualities. He is honest, compassionate, gentle and kind. He spends time with his patients and communicates effectively with them. He has earned great respect and admiration from the entire community. "Although Dr. Bob has rarely instructed me directly, many times his wisdom and experience helped me with tough decisions," adds Dr. Schuver. "And I've learned from his inspiring example. Despite 50 years of hard work in chiropractic, he shows no sign of physical or mental fatigue." Th e younger Dr. Schaffnit agrees that his father is an exce llent example for less experienced doctors . "His character can be summed up in one word: integrity," says Dr. Rick. "He provides excellent service at a fair fee . "What I admire most - and even
envy - about my father," adds Dr. Rick, "is his disciplined and consistent use of Logan Basic Technique, complemented by Diversified adjusting . When the door closes behind him he allows no outside distractions to interfere with patient care. He has stayed focused and on purpose using the Basic Adjustment as his foundation for 50 years. This is what gave his patients their resu Its and earned him a great reputation in the community." Although the Schaffnits gave up their large, family home two years ago, Mrs. Schaffnit says she does not expect her husband to retire anytime soon. "He really enjoys walking the two blocks to his office and caring for his patients," she says. "He has cared for many a hurting patient on weekends, and for many years he went to the old Amish community on his days off to care for a patient there." "He loves his work," adds Dr. Schuver. "He truly enjoys using his chiropractic expertise to help others."

"To make 1996 end-of-the-year contributions to Logan as easy as possible," Mclain continues, "we have inserted postage-paid return envelopes into this issue of th e Tower. The envelopes ca n be used for contributions to the co llege."

Association of Chiropractic Colleges Releases Position Statement on Chiropractic The Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC), a national organization representing the 17 accredited North American chiropractic colleges, recently released a position statement. The statement, which appears below, defines the purpose of chiropractic care within a general health care context and outlines the components of clinical practice of chiropractic. "This position statement was developed- by a consensus process- by the presidents of the ACC colleges," said
Logan President Dr. George A. Goodman, Vice President of the ACC. "The position statement reflects what is being taught in our colleges," said Dr. Goodman. "Logan College presents the statement to our alumni in order to keep the Logan community informed of how the chiropractic educational sector is addressing the need for commonly accepted definitions of key elements of chiropractic practice."
ACC Position Paper: Issues in Chiropractic 1 .0 Preamble The Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC) is committed to affirming the profession by addressing issues facing chiropractic education. The ACC brings together a wide range of perspectives on chiropractic and is uniquely positioned to help define the chiropractic role within health care. The ACC is committed to greater public service through reaching consensus on the following issues which are important to the chiropractic profession: • continued enhancement of educational curricula; • strengthening chiropractic research; • participating and providing leadership in the development of health care policy; • affirming professional confidence and conduct; and • increasing public awareness regarding the benefits of chiropractic care. The member Colleges of the ACC represent a broad diversity of institutional missions. The presidents have drafted a consensus statement that includes the following: • the ACC position on chiropractic; • a representation of the chiropractic paradigm; and • clarification regarding the definition and clinical management of the subluxation. Additional statements will be forthcoming as the ACC continues to provide meaning and substance regarding what is taught in chiropractic colleges and how this information influences the present and future of the profession.
2.0. ACC Position on Chiropractic Chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health . In addition, Doctors of Chiropractic recognize the value and responsibility of working in cooperation with other health care practitioners when in the best interest of the patient. The Association of Chiropractic Colleges continues to foster a unique, distinct chiropractic profession that serves
as a health care discipline for all. The ACC advocates a profession that generates, develops, and uti Iizes the highest level of evidence possible in the provision of effective, prudent, and cost-conscious patient evaluation and care.
3.0 The Chiropractic Paradigm (Refer to diagram on opposite page.) PURPOSE The purpose of chiropractic is to optimize health. PRINCIPLE The body's innate recuperative power is affected by and integrated through the nervous system. PRACTICE The practice of chiropractic includes: • establishing a diagnosis; • facilitating neurological and biomechanical integrity through appropriate chiropractic case management; and • promoting health. FOUNDATION The foundation of chiropractic includes philosophy, science, art, knowledge, and clinical experience. IMPACTS The chiropractic paradigm directly influences the following: • education; • research; • health care policy and leadership; • relationships with other health care providers; • professional stature; • public awareness and perceptions; and • patient health through quality care.
4.0 The Subluxation Chiropractic is concerned with the presentation and restoration of health, and focuses particular attention on the subluxation. A subluxation is a complex of functional and/or structural and/or pathological articular changes that compromise neural integrity and may influence organ system function and general health. A subluxation is evaluated, diagnosed, and managed through the use of chiropractic procedures based on the best available rational and empirical evidence.

Exhibit Informs High School Students About Chiropractic Audrey Renn, stepdaughter of Trimester 7 Logan student Kim Schmaltz, wanted her fellow students at Francis Howell High School in St. Charles "to know more about alternative forms of health care ." Since her stepfather is studying to be a DC, Renn felt she could help educate her peers about non-medical approaches to health care. "Most students at my school probably had heard of chiropractic, but knew nothing about it or were
confused by the word," says Renn . To help inform her school community, Renn selected chiropractic as her topic for a project assignment in her human biology class. Drawing on her stepfather's expertise to help her locate resource materials, Renn prepared an exhibit on chiropractic, complete with a spinal model and posters showing anatomy of each part of the neuromusculoskeletal system . Other sections of the exhibit include defini-
tions of chiropractic and information on how chiropractors are educated . Logan faculty member Dr. Brian Snyder provided before and after treatment X-rays. Dr. Deanna Bates, also a Logan faculty member, provided additional materials . Renn received an "A" on the chiropractic exhibit project, which was displayed at her school for a month this fall. An honors student at Francis Howell, she plans to pursue a career in chiropractic or orthodontics .
