LOGAN BOARD OF TRUSTEES Gordon Tallness, D.C., Chairperson

Endowment Program Gaining Support In February, the Logan Board of Trustees and Alumni Board unanimously approved implementation of a life insurance endowment program to help insure the future solvency of our institution. Through this method, a donor may give the college a substantial gift, by making small regular payments, in a plan developed to allow the- giver to determine his/her own level of participation. To endow is defined as to give money or property to provide an income for support. Endowment is defined as a bequest or gift today that will provide income at a future date. This type of program has been undertaken at Logan, as with most other colleges and universities, because it is difficult to project how the economy may be in the future. Life insurance is an extremely viable means by which most individuals protect those they care about after their own death.

Most of the major American colleges have attained their position of eminence because of the thoughtful planning of alumni members who gifted them with life insurance policies. Recognizing the importance of the endowment, the following doctors immediately signed up to participate and have made a substantial gift to this program: Dr. Ann Bilott Dr. Anthony Bilott Dr. Alan Chamberlain Dr. Edward Glover Dr. George Goodman Dr. Ronald Grant Dr. E. L. Strotheide We thank them sincerely. For details on the Logan program contact Mr. Doug Stirrat, Director of Institutional Development at 1-800-782-3344 (outside Missouri) or in Missouri you may call collect 1-314-227-2100 ext. 177.

Harbor Light Center Opened The Salvation Army/Logan College Harbor Light Center is officially open, and is now treating patients every day during the week. Dr. Ron Grant, Director of Clinical Operations of the Health Centers, and Mr. Doug Stirrat, Director of Institutional Development, are pleased to announce the opening of this facility which became a labor of love for the pair. Last fall, the College began working with the Health Care Coalition for the Homeless, and ultimately began working with the Salvation Army at a chemical detoxification and recovery center. Realizing that chiropractic was the first health profession to completely shun the use of chemicals and substances of any type, the Salvation Army anxiously undertook a working partnership with Logan. It was not long before they found an abandoned building ideally suited for a health center. After considering the idea at length, Grant and Stirrat took the idea to the college hierarchy who quickly approved pursuing the idea of a new health center adjacent to the Salvation Army Center. There was much work to be done to the building, which was little more than a gutted dilapidated warehouse. Stirrat called upon the services of the Logan student body, and with Andy Hosenfeld, a trimester 9 student, began the work. Patients and residents of the Salvation Army program got involved and plans were drawn up to renovate the building into a six treatment room clinic. Andy has a painting business, and volunteered his time to paint both the interior and exterior of the building. Deb Schaefer~ another trimester 9 student, lent her artistic talents and painted a 20' sign to hang over the building. Every time they were called on, students showed up to give a few hours of their time. Many, many students volunteered hundreds of hours to complete the project. The college allocated funds to purchase the paint, drywall, and other miscellaneous supplies, and the Alumni Association provided $2,500 toward completion of the project. A donation of bathroom fixtures from McCarthy Construction and concrete

from Weber Construction helped keep the costs in line. Mr. Ray Goldkamp, a local merchant, has agreed to supply an air conditioning system for the building. The Salvation Army continues to provide utilities., Phoenix Interiors completed the tile and flooring at a significantly reduced fee. 'Under the direction of Dr. Dan Daley, the center has a staff of 12 interns and currently has two shifts of 7 rotating interns, who are seeing 20-30 patients per day. They hope to have up to 60 patients per day by the end of summer. Positions on the staff are highly desired by the students who realize what a dynamic experience it will provide them. Dr. Daley stated, "As an alumnus who has been involved with the other two satellite centers, I think this clinic provides our students with the greatest diversity of physical conditions musculoskeletal problems - degen-

erative diseases - real life tragic situations. These are people who have been neglected. They have abused their bodies, and they are suffering. The College is to be commended for undertaking this kind of project." Students remarked, "It's a great clinical experience because of the variety of cases they are seeing, and the unbelievable appreciation expressed by the underserved and underprivileged sector of our community. After all, that is who we are here for and it really is working." The Harbor Light facility houses a detoxification center, a Veterans Residence, information service, and job program, and physically houses up to 300 persons per night. The Logan Center is serving all these people, but is also open to the local community, with no charges for services. A grand opening will be held in midMay.

Logan Participation in Proceedings of The 1989 International Conference on Spinal Manipulation March 31-April 1, 1989 The International Conference on Spinal Manipulation sponsored the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER) was conducted recently in Washington, D.C., and Logan College was well represented at the conference. Dr. Donna Mannello, a member of the Research and Teaching faculty presented a paper entitled Chiropractic Treatment of Hospitalized Patient With Acute Low Back Pain. This paper was co-authored

and was co-authored by Drs. Tepe, Buerger, Petermann, Picinich, and Robbins. Dr. Beatrice B. Hagen, and Dr. Gary

Washington, D.C.

Sanders also served as moderators for some of the various research presentation. Board of Trustees member Arlan Fuhr, D.C., was present at the conference and was a presenter. Dr. George Goodman was an observer at the proceedings and stated that the conference was an academic milestone in the development of chiropractic research and the papers presented were extremely intellectually stimulating.

Special Thanks To Our Referring Doctors for 1988 A major strength of the chiropractic profession is the spirit of brotherhood, and the perpetuation of its growth and improvement, through referring highly qualified young people to our doors. Over the years the profession continues to become stronger because of this nurturing, and we are truly grateful to all of these individuals. Many of these people take time out of a very busy schedule to meet with prospective students seeking information and guidance in pursuing a career. These doctors participate in College and Career Fairs, maintain college catalogs in their offices, and personally call our Admissions Office to let us know of an interested student. Without them, our jobs would be much more difficult, and certainly less rewarding than when we get to hear their names said at a Freshman Orientation when the student says "I had an injury and after I went to this chiropractor, he told me what a great job he had and maybe I would like it as a career." or "My field doctor is and I have been planning to come here ever since she got me this brochure from Logan College." or "I heard a chiropractor speak at a Career Day, and when I called their office for information, they were so helpful, I just couldn't believe they were so nice." We realize the importance of this great group, so here they are, our Referring Doctors for 1988! Thanks!!

International Conference of Clinical Directors Meeting - February 3-4, 1989

The Mentorship Program: Progress in Educational Excellence! Dr. Grant, Director of Clinical Operations of the Health Centers for Logan, recently initiated the "mentorship program" for student interns. The program is an excellent opportunity for aspiring interns to prepare for clinical diagnosis in private practice capacities. Interns are under the supervision of licensed chiropractors who manage and instruct the student intern. Each student is required to complete diagnostic evaluations, adjustments, adjunctive therapy, and concise reports in regard to the patient's well being. The program is a more personal approach for educational purposes and instrumental for progress in the field of chiropractic. Dr. Grant states: "The mentorship program will greatly benefit the student intern and provide professional health care for the patient." The program has been implemented in the campus clinic as well as the various satellite clinics throughout the community."

Dr. Toftness Delivers! Despite the inclement weather, Dr. Gordon Toftness, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for Logan, visited our campus and presented various trimester classes with an inspiring and educational presentation of chiropractic philosophy. His deep roots in the philosophy of H.B. Logan was quite evident as he presented various case studies which dealt exclusively with Basic Technique as a treatment method. Dr. Toftness, a practicing chiropract~r for over 40 years and a graduate of Logan College, emphasized the return to Basic(s): "We, as fellow Logan graduates, must emphasize the philosophy of H.B. Logan in our practice and utilize it to the fullest extent. Moreover, this institution was built on the premise of H.B. Logan, and many students from other chiropractic colleges yearn for this knowledge." Dr. Toftness emphasized body mechanics as an operational asset for any aspiring chiropractor. In conclusion, his visit proved to be a "basic" motivation for all students.

THE TOWER/SPRING 1989

In Search of the Right Chiropractic College by Major Gary Rovin My search for the right chiropractic college began in earnest in the spring of 1983. Having spent the previous twelve years as a U.S. Air Force officer and fighter pilot, I felt the time had arrived to explore career pÂˇaths beyond the wild, blue yonder. After a lengthy letter-writing campaign and examining numerous career possibilities, a reply from the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) opened the door to opportunities in chiropractic and led me to begin the quest for the right chiropractic college. Finding the chiropractic college which completely fulfills all of a prospective student's needs can be a most time consuming and perplexing process, largely because of a wide range of uncertainties inherent in entering uncharted territory. These cover the spectrum from macro issues (such as understanding the diversification of chiropractic philosophies, differences in academic focus, scope of curriculum, physical facilities, faculty and student composition), through intermediate concerns (such as location, cost, research opportunities, availability of part-time employment), all the way down to the most microscopic areas (including, but not limited to climate, recreation opportunities, population base, distance to home, etc.). However, before becoming overwhelmed with the nuts and bolts of the final selection process, it's worthwhil~ to first get a feel for the different chiropractic colleges that are available to you. Most libraries have numerous guides to pre-professional and professional health care educational institutes, which list the various chiropractic colleges in the United States. My initial interest was a world-wide look at chiropractic colleges, so I corresponded directly with the ACA. These nice folks published a handy guide entitled, "The State of Chiropractic: 1983" (which is no doubt updated periodically) which include all chiropractic colleges in the world and their

mailing addresses. From the list, I requested catalogs and ~nformation from every accredited chiropractic college in the U.S., one in Canada and one. in Australia. I researched them all and began my search. My first stop was college A, a college located in the suburbs of a large city. Here we found a top-notch school. In the outstanding category were the campus, faculty, student body, and curriculum. Much attention had gone into developing a broad scope of academia, covering a wide range of sciences and hands-on skills. The outpatient clinic was smaller than other campuses, but appeared to run efficiently and provide the students with a varied patient population from the surrounding metropolitan area. College A's major deficiency is that it is singularly the most expensive chiropractic college in the nation. I now had a fairly good idea of what the ideal chiropractic college would be like. It would begin in a suburban setting, on a rolling hillside, with an overall air of tranquility and warmth. The campus would be large enough to accommodate the existing student population, and have an abundance of classroom facilities, lecture halls, support facilities and public areas. The curriculum would reflect the broadest possible scope of chiropractic endeavor, would encompass a variety of

chiropractic specialities, and enjoy a nation-wide reputation for producing exceptional doctors of chiropractic. Academic excellence would be casually obvious to visitors, to include a select faculty with top-notch credentials and experience, which complimented a goal-oriented and professionally comported student body. Early student involvement in the clinical environment would be provided in a modern setting with stateof-the-art examination, adjusting and diagnostic facilities designed to accommodate a diverse and burgeoning patient population. Chiropractic research would be both a priority and a reality, as evidenced by an expansive research plant staffed by full-time researchers. Quality chiropractic training offered for a reasonable tuition, with adequate community facilities to support off-campus student services and activities. Overall, these seemed reasonable expectations, yet their realization had eluded us thus far. Most schools satisfied some of the criteria, but failed in one or more areas which we deemed essential to our educational objectives. That was the case until we got to St. Louis. The next stop was Logan College of Chiropractic, in the suburbs of St. Louis. I will depart from the conven-
