Violence no longer is the other guy's problem. is it Today, everyone's problem -the rich, the poor, the elderly, the young and the college student. To try to understand this growing social concern, Social Workers Acting Together will present a five person, discussion, panel "Violence: My Problem," from 9:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 7, in the Clark Student Center Ballroom. "Each semester, SWAT has sponsored some type of seminar concerning whatever is at crisis at the time," Barbara West, assistant professor of social work, said . "We chose this topic since violence has been prevalent not only across the nation, but also on campus." The guest panelists for the seminar are Dr. Emily LaBefT, professor of sociology, Dr. Robert Clark, director of Division of Social & Behavioral sciences, Belle Malone, assistant professor of journalism, Officer Mike Little of the Wichita Falls Police
and Department Beverly Edsall, program clirector of First Step. The discussion will audience include participation, said West, and will be rather broad in nature . However, West foresees certain subjects arising more than others, including gang activity and rape. The panel will cliscuss signs to look for in potentially violent situations, how family values fit into the violence problem and how gangs effect a community. "We don't went to add to the anxiety," West said. ·we are just t~g to get awareness out. Another part of the discussion will include where the media fits into the picture of violence in society. West said the panel will cliscuss whether the news media reflects ideas to society, or if it introduces ideas to society. "I don't think the news report in itself fos- .

Radiological science, nursing master'.s programs ~aiting for approval By Howard L. Wells

The health science dePartment will expand its CUrriculum next year by offering two new master's Programs. A masters of Beience in nursinj will fit perfectly with In President Clinton's health care changes, and 8 master's of science in radiological sciences will ~ the fi rst degree of its lind offered in the United States, Dr, John H. Skolnik, associate professor of radiological techlology, said.
Midwestern State University will accept studenta in both degre_e plans in Summer 1_994 ,f the Texas J:Iig~er Education Coordinating Board approves the progr8;~sically, we have to comply with the_ Texas education code. First, he have to show that t e board of regents is for tie rograms and secon. Y Ph t we have the funding t a. 1 Also we must ' 11 of the ava1lab e. . comply with a
other guidelines set forth by the education code, and we've done that," Skotnik said. The masters of science in racliological sciences is the first curriculum declicated to training the future educators and administrators in tJ1is field. "The students will be brought up to a level of competency that will allow them to do whatever it is they are doing," Skolnik said. "They are going to bQ able to under-
stand how to research everything, not only the scientific and educational materials that are in the field, but they are also going to find the legal basis for the operation in their field." Students interested in joining the program are required to take the Graduate Record Exam. The score from the Exam is taken into consideration along with the student's current grade point average to determine ac-
ceptance. Skotnik said the program is .cost effective not cost intensive. It gives the students a more trnclitional style of learning. "This is a directed, independent study program. We anticipate students will have contact with their instructor or program people at vari ous times throughou t the semester; however, as far as being in the class room and taking up space, they will not be here. 1'hc in-
formation will be given to them, but they will have to use it, analyze it and become competent with the materials." Separated into two tracks, the nursing program will be specialized for both the nurse practitioner and the nurse educator. Phillis N. Goins, professor of nursing and cor · ator for the mast.ers
