If you are TURNED OFF by the church right now, or if you are
looking for a CHURCH HONE, and if you think you might be
interested in a church that is -
small enough to know everyone,
but large enough to serve members and community;
informal enough to be warm and relevant,
but structured enough to be effective -
then yon may want to try the DIAKONIA PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Computers will also change the
medical profession, requiring that
doctors be expert observers so they
can enter the correct information into
a computer. The doctor will review
the information before making a final
decision on what treatment to give
the patient.
Trotman also said the increased
number of malpractice suits may
lead to the decline of solo practition
ers.
“Lawyers will say that the patient
died; therefore you didn’t do the right
thing,” he said. “A physician is
viewed by his peers as doing the
correct thing as long as he takes the
proper steps.”
Trotman said students should be
prepared to deal with the high pres
sure of medical school, as well as the
tensions of being a doctor.

Grants aid bilingual education
By LORNA WILSON
Collegian Staff Writer
The University will begin to con
quer problems in bilingual educa
tion during the next three years
with the help of $450,000 from the
federal government, the director of
the bilingual education program
said.
Joseph Prewitt-Diaz said 15
fellowships have been awarded to
support the tuition, fees and sti
pends for teacher trainers, school
psychologists, program evaluators
and curriculum development spe
cialists who will be specially
trained to deal with the problems of
bilingual students

kind of environment,” Prewitt-
Diaz said.
He said he would like to see more
staff members who can deal with
problems of undergraduate stu
dents who speak limited English. It
is difficult to find staff members
capiable of dealing with the lan
guage barrier, he said.
“The problems of limited-En

are not met,” Prewitt-Diaz said.
“The population trends indicate
this is a problem, which will get
much worse as the number of lim
ited-English students increase.”

little or no English face, he said.
Cultural and environmental dif
ferences and environmental ad
justments are a few factors these
students face, he noted.
The coordinator of the Curric

Kelly, who works closely with Pre
witt-Diaz, said the program is
worthwhile.
Kelly has two bilingual students
in a seminar class he teaches and
said he believes they have adjusted
well.

What you don’t know can hurt you.
Whether it’s innocence or igno
rance, many students don’t take steps
to get rid of that nagging cold or
aching tooth even though help is
available right on campus at Univer
sity Health Services, one of the cen
ter’s directors said.
"Students do not have a good sense
about what’s available here,” said
Susan Kennedy, director of UHS’s
office of health promotion and educa
tion.

UHS is part of Ritenour Health
Center, which also houses the Center
for Counseling and Psychological
Services.
Kennedy said students should be
aware of how they can make use of
the health center appropriately so
they can be better health care con
sumers.
Because the University is removed
from State College, UHS tries to be as
comprehensive in its approach to
medical care as it can, said Harry M.
McDermott, acting director of UHS,
adding that the center is a 24-hour,
seven-day-a-week operation.

"Most people don’t realize that we
have to' have the capabilities of a
small town, which we need because of
the 34,000 students,” he explained.
McDermott added that the outpa
tient department treats an average of
400 to 450 students per day.
In order to remain in touch with
student needs, the Student Advisory
Board, which serves as a liaison
between students and UHS, conducts
surveys for feedback on the services.
A Spring Semester 1985 survey is still
being tabulated, McDermott said.
Kennedy said the health center’s
services provide outpatient, inpatient
and emergency care, as well as pre
ventive health care educational pro
grams designed to promote student
health.
All full-time students graduate
and undergraduate are eligible for

McDermott explained.
