Plan. H ighlights o( Homecoming included a Thursday evening (June 13) barbeque on the Logan campus, featurin g music provided by Greg Hewitt, disk jockey at popu lar KYKY-FM of St. Louis and son o( Logan Placement Director JoAnn Hewitt. As the sun set and the warm temperature cooled slightl y, Logan employees and alumni made their way to the open area in front of Hewitt's booth and danced the night away. A contest between two alumni led to one o( the most humorous moments of the barbeque and to a scholarship donation to Logan College. D. Allen Chamberlain, DC, and Tom Smith, DC, both 1969 Logan graduates, placed a bet on a college footbal l game last fa ll. They agreed that w hoever lost the bet
would donate $200 lo Logan's scholar· ship fund and push the oth er doctor in a w heelbarrow - during Homecoming, when th e check would be presented. Dr. Smith, who practices in Wooster, O hio, lost the bet but gained a chance to have fun and help Logan College. True to his word, he goodnaturedly pushed a wheelbarrow, in which Dr. Chamberl ain was riding, across the front driveway on campus. Both doctors presen ted the scholarship check to Logan President George A. Goodman, DC, FICC. Dr. Chamberl ain practices in Knoxville, Tenn. This year th e Alumni Associa ti on planned the H1)mecoming schedule w ith no major events on Friday or Saturday evening in order to allow alumni more time to mingle inform<1lly with fri ends and classmates. The traditional Homecoming awards di nner was repla ed this year by an awards luncheon. The luncheon featured an update on Logan College by Dr. Goodman and presentation of Logan Alumni Associa tion Awards (see stories on pages 4 -6). As always,there was plenty of fun to be had poolside anci in hospitality su ites, where Logan fra ternity and sorori ty members welcomed al umni.

Alumnus Carries Olympic Torch The O lympic Torch Relay wound its way (rom Califo rni a throughout the United States earl y this summer, raising public awareness or the 1996 O l ympi c Games, hel d in late July/early August in A11anta. Logan alu mnus Dr. Terry Flanagan was among a select group or " torch-bearers'' who carri ed the torch during its journey to Atla nta. Dr. Flnnagan is a 1982 Logan gradu<~te practicing in Oak Lawn, Ill. He holds D iplon1a te sta tu s with the American Board of Chiropractic Orthopedists and w ith the American College of Chiropracti c Consultants, and is a Fellow or the Ameri can Back Society. Cri teri a for selection or torch-bearers inc luded community service and charitable acti vities. Dr. Flanagan was not told exactl y w hat factors led to his selection by an O lympic Games commillee to be a torch-bearer. However, he has led an (Jnnual chiropractic charitable event for severa l years.
Dr. Flanagan said running with the Olympic torch made him feel as if he were runnin~ ''six inches above the ground. "
Ti tled "Chiropractic Feeds the Hungry,'' the program engages
Chicago-area chiropractic physicians in donating services in exchange for cont ributions o r food from th el r patients. The food collected i given to th e Greater Chi cago Food Depository for distribution to neE>dy people. Las t year, the group or DCs led by Dr. Flanagan collected mol c thcln 2 1,000 pounds of rood, becoming the fifth largest food contribu tor in the Chicago ilrea . Dr. Flan<~gan carried the O lympic. torch on June 3. His route took him across the Congress Street Bridge and south on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. "The distance was slightly less than one kilometer (about half a m ile) and requires about five minutes or running," sa id Or. Flanagan . "At least that's whJt I wJs told. When you are carrying the torch, though, you fee l as if you are running clboul six inches orr the grou nd . I fe lt th at I arrived at the next p;m-of( !JOint entirely too fast!"
Alumni Provide Care to Olympic Athletes A thletes (rom around the world bcnefit<'d from chiropracti c care at At lan ta Sports Chi ropractic, a temporary clinic established by chiropractic lead(!rs for the 1996 Summer O lympics in Atlanta. Among the DCs providing care at Atlanta Sports Chiropractic were three Logan graduates, Drs. Raymond Bi ll ingsley1 Charl es Weiss and Larry Ocxner. Atlanta Sports Chiropractic Clinic was estab lished through a joint effort by I 0 o rganizations that have been invo lved in sports chiropractic. The founding organization was the Georgia Chiropractic Association Sports Council. The c linic, which was recognized by th e Atlanta Committee for lhe Olympics, was located off-site near the Olympic Village. Although the U.S. Olympic Committee has included chiropractic among its official health care providers1 only one chiropractic physi-
cian, Or. Steve Horowi l7., was assigned to the 1996 O lympic Village medical unit. Athletes choosing to uti lize chiropractic care also could visit Atl anta Sports Chiro pract'ic. Logan graduate Dr. Tom Hyde, a pas t president or Ameri ca n Chiropractic Associa tio n Council on Sports Injuries and Physical Fitness, served on the chiropracti c committee that orga nized Atlanta Sports Chiropractic. Dr. H yde is a 1977 Loga n graduate practicing in North M iami. He also hosts Logan Hea lth Center interns on preceptorships. Dr. Billingsley, a 1986 Logan graduate practicing in St. Louis and East St. Louis, was among more than 30 DCs from across the United States who look time away from their practi ces to provide care at Atlanta Sports Chiropractic. Or. Ocxner, a 1982 graduate p racticing in New H artfo rd,
N.Y., also was amo ng th ese doctors. The docto rs successfu lly completed an applica tion process in the rr:~ ll of 1995 in order to work at the c linic. D r. Weiss, a 1992 Logan graduate, was among Atlanta-area doctors providing local suppo rt and assistance at Atlanta Sports Chiropracti c. '' I went to the clinic on Thursdays and Su ndays," says Dr. Weiss. "The clinic was a big success, and it was exciti ng to be a par t o f chiropractic's ou treach to O lympic athletes." M any of the athletes who visited A tlanta Sports Chiropractic already were fam iliar with chiropracti c care, says Dr. Billingsley, w ho worked at the clini c from July 22-28. "Some athletes had been tre<!ted by Eu ropean OCs," he says. " Interestingly, they commented on our gentleness and speed in comparison. (continued on page 17)
THE TOWER/SEPTEMBER 1996 (continued from page 16) "We saw a lo t of foo t and ankl e injuries - strains and sprains," adds Dr. Billingsley. "Some athletes who carne to our c linic were concern ed about spinal fl exibil i ty. Some of the doctors spoke foreign l angu~gcs, parti c.ularly French, and that helped us w ith the language barrier." Dr. Billingsley says th at the doctors at th e clinic saw a good cross-section of athl etes, although chiropracti c care seemed to be espec iall y popu lar among competitors in track and field and badm inton.

THE TOWER/ SEPTEMBER 1996
Being a Good ''Servant'' in Chiropractic by William D. Esteb A communications specialist, William Estcb is founder (with Rob jackson, DC) of Back Talk Systems, Inc., a Colorado Springs-based producer of chiropractic patient education materials. A chiropractic palienl, consultant and advocate, Esteb produced the 1987 Renaissance International patient education videos starring Peter Craves, Russell Ehrhardt, DC and jane Kennedy. Esteb also is the author of the five-book series, A Patient's Point of View, and What Every Chiropractic Assistant Should Know. He delivered the following address as guest speaker at the August 7996 Logan graduating class' awards ceremony, heir! August 2 on the college campus.
William Esteb began his address to the graduating class.
Good morning. Thank you for the privilege and honor of sharing a few words on the occasion of your new beginning as doctors of chiropractic. I want to offer a few suggestions t hat might make your journey ahead more fulfilling and fruitful. When I was a child, I was often asked to assist my dad in projects around the house. He had a workshop in the basement, and when he needed help cutting. gluing or nailing, he would often call on my brotl1er or me to provide a second pair of hands to hold, guide, measure or illuminate something. I discovered that my inability to read my dad's mind wa s a scrioLJS obstacle. Because I didn't know the objectives, difficulties or purpose of what my dad was trying to do, invariably I held the board at the wrong angle or pointed the flashlight to the wrong place. My father may have thought I was hard of hearing, because my inability to anticipate his needs was often pointed out at a volume severa l decibels above our normal conversation al level. Although your future patients w ill rarely raise their voices when speaking to you, in the years ahead they will express their displeasure with the assistance they receive from you in many obvious and subtle ways.
As you prepa re r¡o exchange th e va iL1able skills you've learned here on a win/win basis with yoLJr patients I hope you' ll remember th at you are seeking to establi sh a professional career by entering into a series of classic servant/master relationships. The patient will be the master and you will be the servant. Ignore this fundamental truth - or employ procedures or policies that attempt to reverse these roles - and you will find practice to be an uphill batt le. " But patients don't deserve to be the master," you argue. "They are weak, in pain and lacking the understanding and wisdom of true health. I w ill lead them to health. I will remove the interferences to their inborn hea ling abi lity. They w ill look up to me. I will be the hero! " No, you will be the servant. We arc told thai the highest calling to which any of us can aspire is to serve others. So take comfort in the fact that your calling to serve the world through chiropractic places you in the very best company. It is in service to others that our spirit is illuminated. It is in service to others that we find purpose. It is only when we lose o urselves in service to others that we find true abundance and joy in li fe. Does that mean you'll need to val -
unteer to wash each pa ti ent's ca r? Probably not. But what docs make a good servant? If you take your role as a servant seriously, you might consider a review of the Bible. It contains countless guidelines on th e conduct and behavior of servants. One of my favori te parables in the New Testament is the story about the talents. In biblical times, talents were a form of wealth or currency. If you remember, a property owner left his properly in th e charge of three of his servants while he was away, giving each servant talents for safekeeping. Upon his return, the master discovered that one servant had invested his talents, producing three additional talents. The second servant had invested even more profitably, producing 10 additional talents. The remaining servant had buried his talents and retrieved the same number with which he had been entrusted. The Bible tells us that the servant who had done nothing to grow the value of the talents he had been given received a stern le turc. Worse, he had to surrender his talents to the servants who had been better stewards. Apparen tl y, servants arc expected lo nurture, enlarge and improve wha tever is in their custody.
PACE 27
THE TOWER/ SEPTEMBER 1996 So, what does this mean in a chiropractic setting? Perhaps it mea ns that doctors are to demo nstrate ways the palient can save money, get well faster and avoid a relapse in the future. M aybe it means doctors must give patients more th an t¡hey paid for. M aking patients more valuable by improving their sense of self-worth would be a significant accomplishment. Yet few doctors risk venturing into the emotio nal and spiritual domains required to produce this type of respo nse in their pati ents. Instead, many doctors prefer the shallow end of th e pool, limiting their patient relationships to merely the physical and biomechanical - effectively burying their talent in the process. Patients leave th e offi ce w i th exactly what they brought except that their physica l complai nts have been alleviated. But the very best servants add value. What makes a good servant? The iltti tude in w hich service is rendered helps define the servant. Tired of seemingly unappreciative patients, service providers in virtually
every hea lth care discipline reveal their apparent disdain for their masters in subtle ways . Countless doctors and staff members they employ act as if their jobs would be wonderfu l - if not for the patients! ''This would be a great business, jf it weren't for those bl ankety-b lank patients!" When your pati ents become the problem, you've lost t he servant attitude. How many tim es have you been o n the receiving end of a wa iLress' fi rst night o n the job, or tri ed to understand the robotica lly slurred speech of two j uni or high school student s sell ing something to raise money for a school project? By conventional standards, their efforts t o provide service are patheti c. But their positive attitudes, their ambition and their enthusiasm overcome their ineptitude or lack of experi ence. Whal makes a good servant? Good servants anticipate th eir masters' needs and exceed the expectations placed upon them. Good servants are rare. So many are
looking for a shortcut. So many are looking for the ''minimum daily requirement" needed to get by. So many are merely hoping to be able to pay their bills and return th e money they've borrowed. Yet it is in anticipating the needs of the master that the art of service is ful ly revealed. And thi s is where serva nthood can turn inlo leadership. One of the wise w riters or the Bible's book of Proverbs observes th at "witho ut vision the people peri sh ." Yet vision requires light. You are po ised to begin practicing at a time w hen there is more fear and apprehension than at any other moment in the 100-year history of chiropracti c. Th e patients you w ill be serving w il l be suffering from even more fea r and more darkness. Th ey will have even more uncen ainty about health, healing and the pote11tial of their own bodies. Your mission w ill be to point the way, to run ahead, to anticipate. To shine the light, right where it's needed. To lead. And that's how servants - become masters.
Sorority Hosts "Women in Chiropractic" Luncheon M o re than 75 women attended a "Women in Chiro practi c" luncheon held o n the Logan campus on M ay 23.
