Dr. Hagen Announces Retirement Plans Dr. Beatrice B. Hagen, President of the College since 1980, announced on March 27 that she will retire on December 31, 1992.

Dr. Hagen also served as president of the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE), the national accrediting agency for chiropractic education. She was CCE President from 1986 to 1988, and was the first woman to hold this position.

In announcing her retirement plans, Dr. Hagen said, "The time is right for me to pursue other chiropractic interests, including research and teaching, that have not been possible due to the demands of the Logan College presidency. I look forward to continuing my service to Logan College and the chiropractic profession, after retiring from my present position."

Chairperson of the Board of Trustees, announced the formation of a search committee that will consider candidates for the College presid ency. The committee is chaired by Dr. E.L. Strotheide of Granite City, Ill., a member of the Board of Trustees. Robert J. Stearley of St. Louis, also a College trustee, is serving as co-chairperson of the group. The search committee is comprised of trustees, Logan College alumni, and faculty and student representatives.

Dr. Harris paid tribute to Dr. Hagen for her major achievements as president of the College. "It is indeed unfortunate that the calendar eventually brings an end to all good things. Logan College is an excellent educational institution today and Dr. Hagen has played a tremendously important role in achieving that excellence," said Dr. Harris.

"Dr. Hagen desires to retire this year, but we are planning for her to continue her service to Logan College in a capacity other than chief administrator. The Board of Trustees, faculty, and students of Logan College are extremely fond of Dr. Hagen and very proud of her accomplishments as a human being.

She is a marvelous lady, in every sense of that word ."

Dr. Hagen, a native of Rome, N.Y., was one of the early graduates of Logan College, receiving her Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 1940. After the start of World War II, she returned to the College campus, then located in Normandy, a northwestern suburb of St. Louis. Dr. Hagen served as an instructor and assistant clinical director at the College until 1947, and as clinical director from 1947 to 1949.

Dr. Hagen and her husband, Dr. Otto Hagen, a 1949 Logan graduate, established a practice together in Valley Stream, N.Y., a Long Island suburb, soon after his graduation from the College. In 1959, they

moved to upstate New York, and established a practice in Frankfort.

While practicing in New Yo rk, Dr. Hagen served as President of th e New York State Chiropractic Au xiliary. She also was active in the New York State Chiropractic Association, serving as Chairman of the Committee on Constitution and Bylaws, and as a member of the Legislative Committee and the Education Committee.

"Logan College is an excellent educational institution today and Dr. Hagen has played a tremendously important role in achieving that excellence,'' said Dr. Harris.

â&#x20AC;˘ After her husband passed away in 1972, Dr. Hagen maintained their practice in Frankfort until 1980.

Their four children, now grown, and eight grandchildren reside in the Northeast.

In 1972, Dr. Hagen joined the Logan College Board of Trustees, and became Chairperson of the Board in 1977. In 1980, she began her tenure as President of the College, and was inaugurated on February 7, 1981.

Under Dr. Hagen's leadership, the College has broadened and modernized its curriculum, greatly expanded its research program, and instituted an industrial ergonomic (Continued on page 4)

Dr. Hagen is Speaker for "Women in Chiropractic" Program Logan President Dr. Beatrice Hagen took part in a panel discussion on "Women in Chiropractic: Today's Success Story" in March at New York Chiropractic College. The panel was part of NYCC's commemoration of Women's History Month.

Joining Dr. Hagen on the panel were: Dr. Jean A. Moss, President of Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College; Drs. Sandra Cubelli and Beth Donohue of NYCC, and Dr. Timothy Schaub, son of the late chiropractic pioneer Dr. Ruth Schaub.

Dr. Hagen described the difficulties she experienced while practicing in New York State prior to legalization of the chiropractic profession. Any chiropractor who provided treatment, displayed an office sign or diploma, referred patients to labs for tests or X-rays, or possessed treatment equipment was

consulting program. Two major facilities also have been constructed: the Dale C. Montgomery Health Center, completed in 1982, and the $3.5 million Science, Research, and Ergonomics Center, completed in 1987. Dr. Hagen also initiated the College' s outreach program to provide care to the homeless at the Salvation Army's Harbor Light Center and at the Shamrock Club, both located in downtown St. Louis.

In 1991, Logan became the first college to receive a seven-year reaccreditation (the maximum allowable re-accreditation) from the Commission on Accreditation of the CCE. A Fellow in the International College of Chiropractors, Dr. Hagen was chosen as "Chiropractor of the Year" by the American Chiropractic Association in 1982 and as "Chiropractor of the Year for 1987" by The American Chiropractor.

subject to arrest for "practicing medicine without a license."

Dr. Hagen and her husband, the late Dr. Otto Hagen, were involved in the final chiropractic arrest cases in New York State . Dr. Hagen described "a very tense two years" which passed between their arrest and their trial. The doctors risked being jailed by refusing to plead guilty to lesser charges that stated that chiropractic is a form of massage. Their eventual acquittal marked the end of the legal persecution of chiropractors in New York State.

Asked how she handled hostility toward her as a woman in the profession, Dr. Hagen noted that she was raised with five broth ers. "I have not given any special recognition to chauvinism of any ki nd . I don't have time for it. And you shouldn't have time for it. It really shouldn't exist."

Dr. Hagen also encouraged everyone present to support the preservation of the word "subluxation", and to help people understand that "chiropractic is more than manipulation. "

Last Call for Class Composite s The Logan Archives will conclude its class composite project this summer, says Archives curator Dr. Vi Nickson. She is requesting composite photos of any of the classes listed below, in order to make the College Administration Center display of graduation composites as complete as possible.

If you have a composite photo of one of the missing classes, please bring it with you if you attend Homecoming, or mail it to Dr. Nickson in care of the Archives at

Logan College. Please indicate if you wish to donate the composite to the College.

Alternatively, a photographic reproduction of the composite can be made, and it can be returned to you.

Patient Writes, Praising Logan Graduate A patient o f K. Eric Tryggestad, D.C. '83, of Stockdale, Cal. recently sent Loga n President Dr. Beatrice Hagen a lett er about Dr. Tryggestad. A condensation of the letter, which was writt en on March 4, 1992, follows. We congratulate Dr. Tryggestad on th e wonderful care which he has provided this very grateful patient.

Dear Dr. Tryggestad: In June 1990 I had my first appointment with you at Stockdale Chiropractic. After the complete examination and evaluation we discussed my condition : scoliosis, degenerative disc disease and chronic fibromyalgia. This had been an intermittent condition fo r 17 years. I was experiencing severe back spasms, with a great deal of pain and the inab ility to continue life-long exercise and activity habits.

It was most encouraging when you stated your belief that treatment could increase the quality of my life and that you would treat me as if I were your own mother. Now that's commitment!! This was an extremely important factor as I was unable to fun ction normally. Medical consensus was that I would be confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of my life. The medical doctors did not count on the caring and professional competency available through your dedicated services, nor my determination to continue a happy and productive life.

During the approximately 300 visits to Stockdale Chiropractic, there have been many encouraging and a few discouraging times, but neither of us has faltered in commitment to the task at hand.

Thank you very much for your part in that. We have seen gradual, but rem arka ble improvement to the point that I am now able to resume driving, limited walki ng, and many household tasks. In fact, on March 2, I walked four minutes on the treadm ill, w hich demonstrates that my activity level is definitely increasing, due to the adjustments and your rehabilitation program.

I also want to compliment the well-trained staff of Stockdale Chiropractic for the encouraging and cheerful manner in which they carry out their duties, and for the many kindnesses they have shown me.

As you know, I have taken every opportunity (and created a few of my own) to speak on your behalf. It continues to be my pleasure to do so.

I truly feel that Stockdale Chiropractic has earned the motto, " We care as much about your good health as you do!" You are a credit to your profession and to your alma mater, Logan College of Chiropractic. Thank you again for all your help, and may God bless you mightily.

Sincerely, Janet K. Manning

Logan Graduate is First Woman Elected President of ACA Sports Council D r .

Robin Hunter '8 6 0 f Columb u s ' Oh. has b e e n elected President of Dr. Hunter t h e American Chiropractic Association Council on Sports Injuries and Physical Fitness. She is the first woman to be elected President in the Council's 20-year history. She also is the first woman to serve as president of an ACA clinical council. The ACA formerly sponsored a non-clinical council for women in chiropractic, which was led by female presidents.

Dr. Hunter previously served as 1st Vice President and as Treasurer of the Sports Council. She was elected President during the Council's annual meeting, held in Orlando, Fla., April 25-26.

Dr. Hunter is the fifth person, and the third consecutive Logan graduate, serving as Council President.

She succeeds Dr. Thomas Hyde '77 of North Miami, Fla., who succeeded Dr. John Danchik '77 of

Belmont, Mass. Dr. Hyde serves on the faculty of Logan's Postgraduate Department, and Dr. Danchik is a member of the Logan Board of Trustees.

A leader during her student days at Logan, Dr. Hunter served as National Vice Chairperson and as National Chairperson of the Student ACA. Dr. Hunter resides in Columbus with her husband, Dr. Jeffrey Hunter '85 and their two sons.

Dr. Hyde plans to continue working with the Council in his capacity as Past President, and Dr. Danchik is now an adviser to the Council.

The Sports Council priorities in recent years, says'- Dr. Hyde, have included the development~trong professional relationships with other health care providers who work with athletes. The Council also has hired an Executive Director, Gary Scott, and established a national headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colo. "The members of the Sports Council Board are incredibly hardworking, dedicated people, who devote many hours to the work of the Council. They love the chiropractic profession, and they feel strongly about chiropractic's role in caring for athletes," says Dr. Hyde.

The Council's Chiropractic Sports

Network, says Dr. Hunte r, is an especially effective service. The network , which began in 1988, provides injured athletes at competitive events the opportunity to receive chiropractic care and advice from ACA Sports Council members.

Approximately 800 events across the country were covered during the past year. "Athletes, coaches, trainers, sports administrators, physicians, and other health care providers are learning abo ut th e unique benefits of having sports D.C.'s on their health care teams," says Dr. Hunter.

During the Council's rece nt meeting, Dr. Robert Monokian '78 of Cherry Hill, N.J. was re-elected Treasurer of the Council.

Dr. Marianne Gengenbach '83, Associate Professor and Coo rd in ator of Clinical Education an d a postgraduate faculty member at Logan, was the first woman to se rve as President of the America n Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (ACBSP). The ACBSP is the certifying arm of the ACA Sports Council. Dr. Gengenbach served as President of the ACBSP from 1988 to 1992, and now is an adviser to the Board. Dr. Kathleen Naughton, Assistant Director of Clinical Services at Logan, also is a member of the ACBSP.

Alumnus Heads Northwestern College John F. Allenb u r g,

D. C., DAB.CO., a 1951 Logan graduate, is the new PresiDr. Allenburg dent of Northwestern College of Chiropractic in Bloomington, Minn. Dr. Allenburg's appointment was an-

nounced by the Northwestern Board of Trustees during the College's annual homecoming celebration in early February. Dr. Allenburg is the third president to serve in Northwestern's 51-year history.

A number of prominent chiropractors participated in the festivities surrounding Dr. Allenburg's investiture. The inauguration was held June 4. Logan President Dr. Beatrice Hagen was the keynote speaker for the academic community.

Previously employed at North-

western from 1964-1985, Dr. Allenburg served as Dean of Clinic and Dean of Academic Studies at the College. He has spent the past seven years in private practice in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Dr. Allenburg has Diplomate status with the American Board of Chiropractic Orthopedists.

Dr. Allenburg joins two other Logan alumni currently serving as chiropractic college presidents: Dr. Shelby "S.M." Elliott, President of Texas Chiropractic College in Pasadena, Tex., and Dr. Hagen.

Tips for Success as a Chiropractic Associate Associating with an established practice is one option available to new chiropractic graduates. For an experienced doctor, associating can be a way to relocate, and see how he or she likes an area prior to owning a practice there. In either case, many factors are important in ensuring a positive associateship experience. The following articles provide insights on successful associating from two Logan alumni.

Graduating Attitudes

by Dr. Roger Singer Ahhh! Graduation. Scholastic bliss at its zenith. There you stand, clothed in a regal cap and ceremonial gown. You've survived the smelly labs and the cafeteria food , and passed the College and Board exams.

You stand on stage bathing in the laurels of your success, enjoying one last moment of glamour. As you exit the stage, you notice an individual with hand extended, and a smile of goodwill that would have made Will Rogers' greeting pale in comparison.

You warmly reach out and firmly grasp the hand of this well-dressed gentleman.

"Hello, Dr. Smith, my name is Murry P. Sharklin. I'm the senior loan officer at the Happy Loan Institution. Like you , 1've bee n waiting for this day with great anticipation. On behalf of our loan officers and other employees, I'd like to present to you this coupon book with 96 payment coupons.

Remembe r when you said you'd pay us back? We ll, you have six months to get the first payment to my desk.

You'd better get going, Dr. Smith.

Oh, by the way, congratulations!"

Reality hits you between the eyes.

You wander toward the graduation reception with Mr. Sharklin's words ec hoin g within your h ead and tugging at your wallet.

This scenario may not be exactly the way it happens, but, soon after graduation, your stude nt loan officer will certainly be in touch with you.

Like many doctors facing the pros-

Dr. Singer pect of beginning loan repayments within six months of graduating, you may be planning to join an established practice as an associate.

Your next step is to pack up your be longings, and deliver yourself to th e doctor with whom you have been communicating for the last six months, good old Dr. Jones. You wouldn 't say this aloud, but you have a sneaky suspicion about Dr. Jones. You know he can no longer handle his practice . If you can only be patient with the old guy, you will soon be handed the keys to the kingdom. And, by gosh, he has chosen the right person to help his practice recover - you!

After a while, though, it becomes evident that Dr. Jones is in good control of his practice. He is in good

standing with his community, is wellrespected, and enjoys excellent relationships with attorneys and with other doctors, both professionally and socially. Your initial impression of Dr. Jones was quite different from what you are observing.

As your attitude changes, you begin to understand the daily responsibilities of handling a busy practice, working with the office staff, and balancing work with community involvement and your personal life. Your opinion of Dr. Jones continues to change : rather than viewing him as out of control, without your help, you begin to consider him a role model.

I have had many wonderful opportunities to lecture on associating successfully, to students throughout the U.S., and in Canada and Australia. I know there are good and bad associateship re lation ships, which are being built or destroyed every day. One quality, instilled in each of those relationsh ips, would make them more profitable and rewarding for the sponsoring doctors and for the associates. That quality would be an attitude of mutual respect.

The new graduate is technically sharp, well-versed in diagnosis, and confident. The senior doctor, however, can claim one element whic h cannot be taught in any college class expe rience.

We can assume the senior doctor is hiring an associate because he or she has so many patients that another doctor is needed to assist in patie nt care. The practice has probably reached a point in its developme nt at which a second doctor will expand the practice's outreach and visibility within the community. This expansion will benefit the senior doctor as well as the associate.

We also assume that the associate is joining the practice in order to learn to manage a practice . Let's examine, howeve r, a complete list of eve rything that a successful senior doctor has to offer an associate: 1. A chance to observe successful doctor/ patient communication 2. Patient lists 3. Inactive patient lists

THE TOWER/SPRING 1992 4. The use of the practice's equip-

ment 5. A trained staff, with established rapport 6. An established relationship with the community 7. Relationships with attorneys 8. Knowledge of how to work with insurance companies 9. Courtroom experience The bottom line of a successful senior doctor/associate relationship is the senior doctor's ability to share

PAGE9 not only a practice, but experience with the new associate, and to make him or her feel a part of the practice.

The associate must be respectful of the senior doctor and be willing to learn. However, the associate also must not lose sight of personal longterm goals extending beyond the period of the associateship.

All things considered, a mutually rewarding associateship relationship can be a valuable experience for the senior doctor as well as for the

recent graduate, if each doctor works hard to make the relationship positive.

Ed. Note.: Dr. Singer is a 1977 Logan graduate, practicing in Glenville, N. Y. He is the Chairperson of the Practice Man agem ent Committee of the American Chiropractic Association, and the Congressional Ch airperson of the ACA Political Action Committee, Districts 23 and 24. He has lectured on associat eships and practice management throughout the U.S. and abroad, and has published articles in numerous chiropractic journals and other publications.

Associating: Business and Legal Considerations Careful contract planning also is critical in ensuring a successful associateship experience, whether the associate is a new graduate or an experienced practitioner. Dr. James Lehman '72 of Albuquerque, N.M. recently shared some of his knowledge of the business and legal aspects of associating.

Dr. Lehman is a member of the Logan Alumni Association Board of Directors, and also serves on the College's postgraduate faculty. Last summer, he became the chairman of a new department formed by Lovelace, Inc., New Mexico's largest health maintenance organization.

The department offers chiropractic services to the HMO's members and to non-HMO participants. Lovelace Chiropractic has become very successful, and was featured in a March 30 article in the Albuquerque Jour-

tional money, the attorney also can negotiate on his or her be ha lf. Very few people choose to uti lize thi s service, but it's worth conside rin g.

Dr. Lehman

nal.

Tower: What is the most impor-

tant factor to consider when pursuing an associateship?

Dr. Lehman: It is essential to hire an attorney, because it is a very poor business procedure to enter into any contract without having your own legal representative review the agreement. The contract should be reviewed for its legality, and to ensure its fairness to the associate.

T. How does one find a lawyer who will provide good representation, and what should be expected of the attorney?

Dr. L.: If the practice is in another state, and the associate already has an attorney near where he or she lives, that attorney can research the laws of the state where the practice is located, and provide adequate representation. Or, an attorney located near the practice can be retained by looking in the Yellow Pages for a business attorney who is experienced in working with health professionals. However, the associate should not hire the senior doctor's attorney.

Review of the contract is the primary service to be expected . If the associate wants to invest addi-

T. What areas should be addressed in the contract?

Dr. L.: A complete list of specifics would be very lengthy, but obviously all salary-related questions should be answered. What will be the associate's renumeratio n sch edule? If he or she is to ea rn, for example, 40% of the inco me from each patient's care, will this pe rcentage also apply when caring for the senior doctor's patients? Will the percentage apply to all types of care, such as therapy, X-rays, etc., or only to examinations and adjustments?

Vacations and other benefits also should be covered in the contract, as well as the practice dress code, hours of operation, etc. Also, the work space available to the associate should be specified, and the services which the associate can expect from the office staff should be listed.

T.: Is there anything else the potential associate should keep in mind?

Dr. L.: Never relocate to accept an associateship without a signed agreement in hand. Also, it is common and acceptable for the senior doctor to include a noncompete clause in the contract. Such a clause precludes the associate from setting up a nearby practice after leaving the associateship.

Equipment Spurs New Radiology Department Research Plans State-of-the-art computer software and hardware recently donated to the Logan Radiology Department will make possible many new research endeavors, says Dr. Norman Kettner, Radiology Department Chairperson. Raymond Wiegand, D.C. of Spinal Corrective Research, Inc. of Acton, Mass. gave the Radiology Department a $10,000 spinal analysis software package. Dr. Wiegand also donated a $4,000 Neumonics digitizer needed for utilization of the software, which he developed .

The Logan Alumni Association donated computer hardware and a laser printer, with a combined value of $5,400, also needed for use with Dr. Wiegand 's software. Association President Dr. George Richards '79 of Mentor, Oh. initiated and coordinated the Association's donation.

"We are pleased to help advance chiropractic research , and to help the Logan Radiology Department expand its research contributions," said Dr. Richards.

Dr. Wiegand, a Palmer College of Chiropractic graduate , recently visited the Logan campus to provide instruction on the use of his software. The software permits the analyis of spinal changes, and of changes in joints throughout the body, with extreme sensitivity and accuracy. The digitizer's pen-like attachment traces the image on a standard X-ray. The digitizer feeds spatial information and measurements from the image to the computer, which stores the information in its memory. When information from a subsequent X-ray of the same person is fed into the computer by the digitizer, Dr. Wiegand's software makes possible the measurement and plotting of minute changes in joint position.

"For example," says Dr. Kettner, " we could learn the number of millimeters of joint rotation; de-

grees of change in the angle of a vertebrae; changes in millimeters of space between vertebrae, etc. Such information helps the clinician plan a more specific treatment. The information enables us to locate postural subluxations of the spine, and of joints in other areas of the body, with extreme precision ."

Research applications utilizing Dr. Wiegand 's software also are numerous. Dr. Kettner plans to emphasize the study of full-spine X-rays in initial research endeavors utilizing the software. "Study of the fullspine X-ray is a strong tradition within Logan's curriculum, so it is especially appropriate to focus our research efforts in that direction," he says.

Dr . Kettner anticipates other research applications for Dr. Wiegand's software, including the analysis of data from research on scoliosis treatment. A scoliosis treatment method which combines chiropractic adjustments with an

electromyostimulation tech niqu e is being studied at Logan. The electromyosti mu Iati on technique was developed by Yakov Kots, M.D., Ph .D., a leading neurophysiologist and exercise physiologist in the former Soviet Union. His techn ique was successfully utilized in the care of Soviet Olympic athletes as well as scoliosis patients. Dr. Kots joined the Logan faculty last year.

On a long-term basis, Dr. Kettner expects Dr. Wiegand's software to permit significant research, at Logan and elsewhere, designed to quantify the outcomes of chiropractic care.

Such research could provide data documenting some of the premises of chiropractic science and philosophy. "We may be able to utilize this technology to provide a research basis for preventive care, focusing on the correction of postural subluxations beyond the relief of symptoms," concludes Dr. Kettner.

Logan Team Finishes Second in Basketball Tournament A team representing Logan College took second place honors in the 1992 City of Chicago Health Professional Basketball Tournament, held at National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, Ill., February 29March 1. A group of then-Trimester 3 students decided to form a team for the sole purpose of playing in the tournament. Team member Kevin Bradley said that the other tournament teams were ongoing college clubs, accustomed to intercollegiate play.

Participating in the round-robin tournament were four chiropractic colleges (Logan, National, Northwestern, and Canadian Memorial); Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine, and Illinois College of Optometry.

The Logan team lost its first game against National 59-41, but won the next four games of the first round of the tournament. Advancing to the second round, the team defeated Scholl College 59-45. That

After returning to campus, the basketball players were photographed with Logan President Dr. Beatrice Hagen. Pictured, left to right, are players Kevin Bradley, Mike Thompson, Art McCauliffe, Doug Portmann, Todd Georges, and Mike Harker.

win qualified the team for the championship game against Northwestern College. Northwestern won the championship game 74-64.

Bradley said the players hope to participate in the tournament again

next year. In addition to Bradley, the Logan players we re Mike Thompson, Art McCau liffe, Doug Portmann, Todd Georges, and Mike Harker. Thompson and McCa uliffe served as co-captains.

New Equipment (Continued from page 11) has obtained temporary use, for research purposes, of a piece of equipment manufactured by Cadwell Laboratories, Inc. of Kennewick, Wash. Dr. Kettner explains that the equipment will be used to study the evaluation of spinal stress, utilizing somatosensory evoked potentials. Somatosensory evoked potentials are non-invasive, painless measurements of neural pathway conduction velocities, for the purpose of analyzing nervous system function.

A Cadwell representative demonstrated the use of the equipment on campus last fall. The equipment measures neural conduction velocity in the central nervous system, or in any peripheral nerve. Loss of neural conduction velocity is determined by comparing the velocity measurement against norms for the

subject's age group, and for the length of the limb where the nerve is located.

The equipment also was demonstrated on campus in March, by electrodiagnosis consultant David Glick, D.C., Director of Neural Function Analysis, Inc., of Richmond, Va. Dr. Glick, a graduate of Life College of Chiropractic, has used Cadwell's equipment to research the effects of cervical spine adjustments on neural conduction.

His preliminary results appear in the Chiropractic Research Journal, Volume II, #2, 1992, in the article "Differential Diagnosis of Somatosensory Evoked Potentials." Dr. Glick observed significant differences in neural conduction velocity following cervical spine adjustments.

Volleyball Team Wins Tournament The Logan Volleyball Club took first and second place honors at the Maryville University Physical Therapy Volleyball Tournament, held April 11 on the Maryville campus in West St. Louis County.

The Logan players were the defending champions of the tournament, in which 20 teams participated.

The first place team members were Jeff Barker, D.C. (December '92); Nancy Meyer, Tim Robinson and players from other schools who joined Logan's team. The second place team members were Laura Larson, Steve Noseworthy, Pete Painter, Shannon Rampton, and Randy Troutman.

New Loan Program Available to Chiropractic Students The Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC) and Educational Funding Services (EFS) of Herndon, Va. have completed negotiations on the development of a new financial aid program for chiropractic students.

The program will provide a minimum of $80 million over four years for chiropractic educational loans, through private sector financing.

Previously, all loan programs utilized for chiropractic education have been guaranteed or insured by the U.S. government. This is the first time that private sector loan dollars have been designated for use by chiropractic students, under a program not guaranteed by the government.

Known as ChiroLoans, the new program is designed to reduce or eliminate dependency on the Health Education Assistance Loans (HEAL).

The HEAL program was targeted for a phase-out by the Bush administration in 1991 . Congress reappropriated money for the program for the 1991-1992 academic year.

However, Logan Student American Chiropractic Association Legislative Chairperson Charles Gaertner said that only 25% of the expected

funding for the HEAL program was approved last fall for distribution.

Organizations such as SACA and the Student International Chiropractors Association continued working with chiropractic leaders to lobby for appropriation of the remaining funds, and for continuation of the HEAL program. Students at Logan and other chiropractic colleges continued writing letters to the Senate Appropriations Committee, at the urging of college administrators and student leaders. The students also have continued writing letters to their own senators and congressional representatives.

While the HEAL program may continue next year, Logan Financial Aid Director Jean Short said that the amount of funding which would be approved for distribution is unknown. She said, "The profession should be very proud of the ChiroLoans program. We are very happy to know that we will not be as dependent on HEAL loans.

"While we have not yet been notified of the amount of ChiroLoan funding we will receive, we do expect to begin disbursing Chiro-

Loan funds by the fall trimester."

In addition to the Chiro Loans program, and possibly the HEAL program, chiropractic students will continue to borrow money through the Stafford Loan program, Supplemental Loans to Assist Students (SLS), and Parents Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS).

Educational Funding Services will administer the ChiroLoans program.

Also participating will be Key Bank of Maine and United Student Aid Funds (USAF). Key Bank is one of the nation's largest lenders in the student loan market. USAF is the largest guarantor of student loans in the country.

The loans will be availa ble at part1c1pating colleges, to students who have completed one year of study. A ChiroLoan recipient could borrow up to $6,000 per academic year (September-April) through the program. Since most chiropractic students attend school year-round, additional money may be borrowed to finance summer study. As is true of other student loan programs, ChiroLoan recipients will be requi red to demonstrate financial need.

SACA Presid ent Bob Lan g, at podium, spoke about the HEAL loan sit uation at a March 9 assembly sponsored by SACA. The assembly speakers urged students to write to Senate Appropriation s Committee memb ers regarding the HEAL issue. Th e other speakers pictured are (left to right) : Greg Wright , D. C. (4/ 92); Jean Short, Director of Financial Aid; Dr. George Goodman, Vice President for Chiropractic Affairs; Dr . Beatrice Hagen , Logan President.

SMCA Introduces High School Students to Chiropractic On Saturday, February 22, members of Logan's Student Multicultural Chiropractic Association (SMCA) presented a three-hour workshop which introduced 19 minority students from St. Louis high schools to chiropractic. The workshop was held at Washington University in St. Louis.

The high school students were participants in the "Saturday Scholars" program, sponsored by the Washington University School of Medicine. Held on four successive Saturdays, the program introduced participants to four health professions, including chiropractic. The high school students were chosen by their teachers to participate in the program, based on academic achievement in science courses and interest in the health professions.

The Logan presenters were led by Dion Newton, Trimester 9, treasurer of the SMCA. Newton is a part-time employee of the Logan Admissions office, focusing on minority recruitment, under the supervision of Dr. Robyn Wilkerson, Director of Admissions. The other SMCA members who participated in the Saturday Scholars workshop were: Anthony Crawford, Trimester 5, President of

Dion Newton (displaying the spine) speaking at the Saturday Scholars workshop. Standing next to him is jasper Dase, a student at the Academy of Math and Science in St. Louis. At left, standing, is Christina Richmond, also from the Academy of Math and Science . the Association; Yvonne O ' Neal, Trimester 3, Student Doctors Council Representative to SMCA, and Charles Quigless, Trimester 2. The SMCA adviser, Dr. Doris Bell, Director of Student Health Services, also participated in the workshop.

Information Available on Physician Liability for Inadequate Delivery of Care The Learning Resources Center at Logan College is making available copies of a newsletter, published recently by the National Library of Medicine (NLM). An article in the newsletter, "Will the Use of Grateful Med Reduce Physician Liability?", discusses the potential for doctors to be sued if they do not provide th e ir patients with the most current health care information . Public Service Reference Librarian Bob Snyders explains that while the article promotes NLM's computer software package, "Grateful Med",

information included in the article may be of interest to doctors. "The possibility appears to exist that a doctor could be held liable for inadequate delivery of care," says Snyders.

Copies of the copyright-free newsletter are available from the Learning Resources Center for $1.00 per copy. Please send your copy request to the Learning Resources Center, and include a stamped, selfaddressed envelope. The Learning Resources staff also has information regarding "Grateful Me d."

The workshop included extensive discussion of the process of c hiropractic care, and the experience of being a chiropractic patient. Key chiropractic terms, postural analysis, orthopedic tests, the physical diagnosis process, and diagnostic instrumentation also were emphasized.

Newton has given presentations at many of the historically black colleges and universities in the U.S. He also arranged for Logan to join the Washington University School of Medicine and the University of Missouri-St. Louis School of Optometry as hosts of the 1991 Nati on a I Association of M e dical Minority Educators conference. The conference was held in St. Louis last September. " The response from the Saturday Scholars participants was very positive," said Newton. " As is often the case when we speak to groups of students interested in health professions, we found that most were unfamiliar with chiropractic. However, they seemed very intrigued by what we do."

Health Center Interns Begin Teaching Rounds Dr. Michael Taylor, a clinician at Montgomery Health Center, recently began a Teaching Rounds program for senior interns of Trimesters 8-10. Teaching Rounds are held once each week. Dr. Taylor leads a small group of interns in visits to treatment rooms where patients with especially interesting cases are receiving care.

Teaching Rounds participants learn about each case by directing questions to the patient's intern, and sometimes to the patient. After each case is reviewed, the Teaching Rounds group leaves the treatment room to discuss the case. The cases are at varying stages of care and diagnostic levels.

Trimester 9 student Mark Drake has participated several times in Teaching Rounds, which is a voluntary program. "For new outpatient interns, Teaching Rounds provides a chance to see conditions that they might not otherwise see for a while," says Drake. "As a new intern early last trimester, I saw two acute

low back cases, a herniated disc, and a variety of injuries duri ng Teaching Rounds.

"We also are challenged during Teaching Rounds by having to get a feel for each case and treatment plan very quickly. The case discussion that follows focuses on our evaluation of the treatment plan rationale, and on what we would do in handling a similar case. Overall, I think it's a great educatio nal experience," says Drake.

In other news from the Health Centers, Dr. Jerry Carpen ter, Instructor of Chiropractic Science, arranged for interns of Trimesters 810 to provide first aid and chiropractic care at the Missouri State Classic Racquetball Tournament in early February. The tournament was held at the Ballwin Racquetball Clu b in St. Louis County.

Dr. Patrick Venditti, Director of the Logan Ergonomics Ce nte r, supervised the interns in the care of the racquetball tournament participants.

Hospital Licensing and Association Officials Visit Logan Campus Understanding of chiropractic education among health administrators in Missouri was strengthened in March, when two officials became acquainted with Logan's educational program. Making separate visits to Logan were J. Barton Boyle, Chief Administrator of the Missouri Bureau of Hospital Licensing and Certification, and Gloria Metzger, Executive Director of the Missouri Hospital Association. They were the first officials in such positions to visit the College.

Both visitors toured the Logan campus, accompanied by Dr. Leonard Suiter '77, President of the Missouri State Chiropractors Association (MSCA); Dr. Lawrence Ger-

stein '79, President of the Missouri Board of Chiropractic Examiners, and Dr. Jon Buriak '85, Chairperson of the Chiropractic Department at Deaconess Hospital-North and Deaconess Hospital-West in St. Louis County. The visitors also met with Dr. Beatrice Hagen, Logan President, and Dr. Allen Parry, Director of Postdoctoral and Related Professional Education .

The visits were arranged through the efforts of an MSCA committee focusing on hospital relations. Dr. Norman Kettner, Chairperson of the Logan Radiology Department, serves on the MSCA committee and organized the visit schedules.
