Baby saved:
2-month-old girl survives unique bypass and CTE operation at Hershey Center
By MIKE KINNEY
Collegian Staff Writer
A world first in surgical technique
was recently used by a University
surgeon to save the life of a two-
Month-old girl at the University's
Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
"Medical history was made Dec.
20 when a heart-lung bypass was
used in conjunction with a common
trachea-esophagus (CTE) opera
tion," Carl D. Andrews, director of
University relations at the Hershey
Medical Center, said. "Despite its
name, the operation is hardly com
mon."
Expertise and equipment to treat
CTE are extremely rare but Aman
da Peay, daughter of Edward and
Patsy Peay of Morgantown, Ky.,
was fortunate that the Hershey
Medical Center has both, Andrews
said.
Amanda was born Dec. 4 with
CTE, an' affliction which occurs in
about one of every 50,000 births. The
disease causes the trachea to col
lapse everytime a breath is taken,
Andrews said.
Surgeon at Vanderbilt Hospital
in Nashville, Tenn., twice tried to
perform the operation without the
use of a heart-lung bypass machine.
Each time, the child went into car
diac arrest, Andrews said.
"When Amanda was born, the
doctor just thought she- had a
breathing problem," Patsy Peay
said. "They took her to Vanderbilt
Hospital over in Tennessee and

Two-month-old Amanda Peay of Morgantown, Ky., survives a rare disease after undergoing a heart-lung bypass which
was used in conjunction with a common trachea•esophagus operation at the University's Milton S. Hershey Medical

Lincoln teachers propose arbitration
By MIKE NETHERLAND
Collegian Staff Writer
After meeting with state media
tors Monday, striking teachers at
Lincoln University proposed that
the faculty and administration sub
mit to binding arbitration to end the
six-day walkout, a faculty spokes
man said yesterday.
Almost all the 116 full- and part
time teachers of the Association of
University Professors went on
strike Thursday because contract
negotiations have been stalled for
more than two weeks. They have
been working without a contract
since last July.
The spokesman, Andrew Murray,
ic - A - 1:$ f- al
said the union is awaiting a re
sponse from the university about
the binding arbitration.
Sam Pressley, public relations
and publications director, said the
union seeks a 4 percent salary
increase retroactive to the begin
ning of the contract year Sept. 1.
The university has offered a 4 per
cent increase from Jan. 1 with a 6
percent increase for the next con
tract year, Pressley said.
The university offer, Murray
said, amounts to a 2 percent in
crease for the year but still lags
behind inflation. For the past 10
years, he said, pay increases have
been overcome by inflation, result
ing in "a salary range below the
average for high school teachers in
the Commonwealth."
The average salary for Lincoln's
faculty is $21,000, with full profes
sors earning $28,000, Murray said.
Murray, who has been teaching
religion at the , university for 34
years, said the students have sup
ported the strike. •
"They blocked the offices so that
the secretaries couldn't get to
work," he said.
Pressley, who did not comment
yesterday on the binding arbitra
tion proposal, expressed optimism
that the university and the union
will resolve their differences.

Statue of Liberty:
Monument to undergo internal, external renovations
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON The Statue of Liberty, currently
undergoing badly needed structural repairs, will also get a
redesigned interior to better accommodate• almost 2
million annual visitors, architects for the project an
nounced Tuesday.
The architects promised that the additions will alleviate
the long lines and sweltering heat that now often greet
visitors to one of the country's most popular tourist sites.
- The additions include an improved spiral staircase that
will provide a better view of the statue's interior, a new
glass-enclosed elevator to take visitors from the bottom to
the top of the statue's 154-foot pedestal and a complete
cleaning of the interior to regain the original shiny copper
finish.
But the improvements will not include an elevator to
eliminate the arduous climb inside the statue to the small
observation platform in the crown.
Architects considered such an elevator, but the idea was
rejected by the National Park Service.
"People, 30 to 40 years after they visit, remember the
grueling climb and the park service wanted to preserve
that," said Richard Seth Hayden, a New York architect
working on the project.
Most of the work to improve visitor flow will take place
in the 15-story pedestal on which the statue rests. Ar
chitects plan to rip out three floors which block the view
inside the pedestal. A new glass-enclosed elevator along
with improved lighting will give visitors an unimpeded
view of the interior of the massive pedestal, the architects
said.
In the statue itself, the copper plates, which have been
painted, will be scrubbed down to the original finish. The
statue will retain its outside color of green, the result of
weathering over the years.
The renovation will add another viewing area at the
bise of the statue and improve the lighting so tourists can
get a good view of the interior without climbing the spiral
staircase. Only 30 percent of the visitors to the statue
actually climb to the crown, but currently that is the only
way to see the statue's interior.
A new handrail will be installed on the spiral staircase to
improve safety, and small rest stops which block traffic
will be replaced with larger rest areas. A wire mesh safety
cage which covers the current staircase will be removed
to improve the view. A small emergency elevator also will
be installed for transport of persons who become ill during
the climb. Currently, they must be carried down by park
service rangers in a sling.
The improvements should double visitor flow to 500
persons per hour, the architects estimated. In addition,
ventilation fans will be installed to cool the statue's
interior, where the temperature now often climbs above
100 degrees.
All, of the improvements are coming as part of a $39
million renovation project to correct serious structural
defects in time for the statue's centennial in 1986.
Workmen began erecting 300 tons of aluminum scaffold
ing in January. The architectural design work is being
done by the French-American Committee, a private group
of French and American businessmen. The committee
announced its plans for the visitor areas, which have been
approved by the park service, at a news conference
Tuesday.
