Logan Students Participate in Chiropractic Educational Event at State Capitol Students from Logan and Cleveland chiropractic colleges joined members of the Missouri State Chiropractors Association for a day of legislative outreach on March 3 at the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City. The students participated in educational lobbying to make legislators aware of the quality and content of chiropractic education. Logan's participation was led by Dr. Norman W. Kettner, Chairperson of the Logan Radiology Department. Dr. Kettner worked closely with Dr. Charles Portwood of St. Louis, a Logan graduate and MSCA's Political Action Committee President, on the development of nine educational stations that MSCA set up in the rotunda of the capitol building. The stations were staffed by f1eld doctors and by students from Logan and Cleveland. Each station provided visual material and placards with information related to chiropractic education and clinical services provided by chiropractic physicians. Individual stations featured topics such as rehabilitation, acupuncture, laboratory diagnosis, diagnostic imaging and research on chiropractic outcomes, patient satisfaction and cost effectiveness . Students also provided blood pressure checks and postural analysis. In addition, both chiropractic colleges had information booths. Students also were able to spend time visiting individual legislators to discuss chiropractic education and to attend a catered luncheon hosted by MSCA and attended by legislators. "I was very proud of the students and the way they presented the information," said Dr. Kettner. "They seemed to
feel that the experience was motivating, that it stimulated their awareness of the importance of political involvement." Twenty Logan students participated in the event. The college provided bus transportation to Jefferson City for them .

Bookstore Advertising to Get New Look New photos of first-time models wearing updated apparel items, and new product photos wi II bring a fresh look to the Logan Bookstore advertising campaign during the coming year. The new ad series appears on the back page of this magazine, starting with this issue. The Bookstore began advertising in the September 1996 issue of the Tower. Bookstore manager Marcella Barry says the additional reminder to Logan alumni and other Tower recipients has helped generate business for the store. "Reminding people that we offer many products they can use in their offices and attractive clothing and other gift items has generated orders from people who had not been in touch with us previously," says Barry. "As always, we work hard to provide personalized service for all of our
call-in orders, as well as for visitors to the store." Volunteering their time as models for the new Bookstore ad photos were Logan students Jared Brosmer, Andre Fournier and Sarah Jeffreys. In addition- for the first time- the updated ad series will feature children modeling Logan apparel for kids. Young models who participated in the photo shoot for the new ad series were Brianna Goodman, Christopher "C.J." Goodman, Zachary Harris, Jessica Huston and Matthew Huston. "We are very appreciative of all of the models," says Barry. "They did a wonderful job." Photographs for the ad series were taken by Logan student and former professional photographer Dale Enix. The ads were written and designed by Adamson Public Relations and Adamson Advertising of St. Louis.

NCMIC Donates Equipment for Three-D Video Viewing of Anatomical Structures Logan students now have the opportunity to reinforce their knowledge of human anatomy via equipment that allows for viewing of anatomical structures in a threedimensional simulation format. The National Chiropractic Mutual Insurance Company of Des Moines, Iowa, a national chiropractic malpractice insurer, donated the equipment to Logan. Components of the package include a Sony monitor, a Panasonic VCR, two sets of 3-D goggles and a cadaver dissection video. The video was produced by the Saint Louis University School of Medicine's Department of Biomedical Engineering. The equipment package is valued at approximately $10,000 . It is located in the Logan Learning Resources Center. "The equipment allows for stereoscopic projection of human anatomy," says anatomy instructor Pau I Ellis, MS, PhD (C), Assistant Professor of Basic Sciences at Logan. "The film technology allows for depth perception like that of normal human vision. As in viewing a 3-D movie, the viewer uses goggles to enhance the 3-D effect." Ellis completed his master's degree through the SLU School of Medicine's

"However, the virtual reality format is a great learning tool. The viewer can gain the perception
of actually walking into the heart or another organ. "I always tell students to try to develop a mental picture of each anatomical structure," Ellis adds. "The 3-D video is an excellent tool for that purpose."
Business Leaders Visit Logan Campus Members of the Leadership Committee of the Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce visited the Logan campus on May 5 for a meeting of their committee.
