Doctors label plan 'socialistic'
~SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) The
leadership of the American Medical
Association yesterday faced a rising tide
of protest from member doctors because
it has endorsed ' a compromise national
medical insurance plan that some
(rectors believe is socialistic.
"National health insurance is contrary
to the interest of the consumer, the
itiedical profession, the national
qconomy and the very fiber of this
nation," said Dr. Michael Smith, one of
the delegates at the AMA's national
4onvention.
, A survey released at the convention
showed that more than 70 per cent of the
responding doctors to an AMA survey on

Keating, project . associate for

of the University Gerontology Center.
The Center, part of the College of
Human Development, serves the
entire community, Keating said.
Keating said the series is a `!total
living-learning environment"
designed to educate people about
aging and to stimulate interaction
among age groups.
The series is funded by U.S

_believe any national in
surance program enacted should be
voluntary and not mandatory.
The survey did not give the doctors a
chance to indicate if they opposed any
form of national health insurance, but
merely sought opinions on what kind of a
program should be enacted, according to
critics.
The AMA has proposed a bill which
requires mandatory insurance for most
Americans but it would be handled by
private insurance companies. The
purpose of the bill is to forestall a more
encompassing federal insurance
program.

other issues and voted to take a strong
stand against "sexually suggestive or
pornographic programming on
television."
The resolution was overwhelmingly
approved despite arguments that the
action could encourage a form of cen
sorship unacceptable to Americans.
The delegates also approved a wide
ranging resolution opposing violence on
television.
"The emphatic efforts to oppose the
portrayal of violence on television and
the encouragement of positive
programming by the networks has had a
favorable impact on the public and
profession," the doctors were told.

The Centre Region planning staff is

with the troublesome insect.
A boycott of psychology classes Fall term is planned by
Women United, a campus women's organization, to protest
former professor Jo-Ann Farr's dismissal, Corinne Zupanick,
Women United president, said.
In other areas, the group intends to survey women students
this fall to determine how many women feel the need for a
night clinic to administer Pap tests.
At present,,Pap tests are given at Ritenour Health Center in
cases of medical emergencies and for birth control
examinations. If enough women are interested, the night
clinic has a good chance of being approved, Zupanick said.
Women United also is studying an alternative to the Hyde
Amendment, a bill which cuts off Medicaid funding for all but
therapeutic abortions.
The amendment, which was upheld Monday in a U.S.
Supreme Court decision, discriminates against poor women,
Zupanick said, and will lead to "back alley" abortions.
The group is also studying means for promoting the
Williams-Hopkins bill, now in the U.S. Senate. It prohibits
discrimination against pregnant women, Zupanick said.
Transcript costs
double as of July
The price of transcripts will double on July 1 to $2 for an
official copy 'and 50 cents for an unofficial copy because the
current system of producing them "is not paying for itself,"
Gary Hile, assistant records officer, said.
"It is my understanding that we were losing money," he
said, and added that most colleges across the country charge
between $2 and $5 for official transcripts.
The current price of $1 was set in 1948, University controller
Steve Garban said. The current 25-cent price for an unofficial
copy was set in 1961.
The price doubling is not necessarily intended to cover the
cost of production, Garban said. "It just more properly
reflects the cost."
Transcripts are available at 112 Shields, not 101 Shields as
The Daily Collegian reported Friday.
Dorm cancellation
deadline extended
The deadline for canceling dorm contracts will be extended
to July 5 in an effort to reduce the number of dorm contracts
held by students, according to William Mulberger, Jr.,
manager of the office of campus assignments.
Mulberger said that a memo will be sent to students within
the next couple of days advising students of the extension date

to give them the opportunity to cancel their contract and claim
their $45 deposit. Students who fail to make the extended
deadline will be obligated to the contract.
In addition, the memo will inforni students of the $l2 per
term increase for dorm rooms and residential life programs,
Mulberger said.
The number of contracts floated by the University was
about 1,200 more than the total space available, but "forced"
and "voluntary" cancellations have reduced that figure to a
number Mulberger believes is much more manageable.
Terry Fisher, Summer Term president of the Association of
Residence Hall Students, said about 500 students will find the
going rough in the fall. However, he remained optimistic that
both ARHS and the Organization for Town Independent
Students (OTIS) would be able to put students in contact with
available housing.
Low interest
leaves house short
Because of the lack of applications to the Tener Hall interest
house, the Fall Term project will be limited to certain floors,
Assistant Director for Residential Life Programs Philip
Grosnick said.
There will be six floors of men in Tener Hall the first,
second, third, fifth, sixth and seventh floors. Interest house
women will live on the fourth and eighth floors. Women also
will reside on the ninth and tenth floors of the building, but will
not be considered a part of the interest house.
The original plan called for the combination of Brumbaugh
Hall, a women's residence, and Tener Hall, a men's dorm.
But by the time the plan filtered down to the students, most
had already made other plan's.
"It was a case of too little, too late," Grosnick said. "Be
sides, the transfer students from the Commonwealth campus
es and the incoming freshmen did not know about the project."
Grosnick believed that once the interest house got rolling in
the fall more students would participate in the program.
