'No  agent' is  the faculty  verdict 

Despite  a  resounding  vote  against 
unionism  in  this week's faculty election, 
a  representative  of  one  of  the  two 
organizing  groups  termed  the  outcome 
"just  the  first  round"  in  an  attempt  to 
bring  collective  bargaining  to  the 
faculty. 

An official of the Michigan Education 
Association,  parent  group  of  the  MSU 
Faculty  Associates,  said  the  election 
represented  a  " probe"  to gauge  faculty 
attitude toward bargaining. 

But  ,this  week  that  attitude  wasn't 
than  82  percent 
very  warm.  More 
(2,020)  of  the  faculty  voted,  and  60 
percent  (1 ,213)  voted  "no agent."  The 
MSU  - FA  had  438  votes,  and  the 

campus  chapter  of  the  American 
Association  of  University  Professors 
came  in  third  with  280  votes.  There 
were  85  challenged  votes,  and  4  were 
spoiled. 

Representatives  of  the  AAUP  didn't 
indicate  plans  to try  for  a new election, 
which,  under  state  law,  can't  be  held 
within a year from this week. 

Lester  Manderschied,  acting  AAUP

MSU-FA 

president,  said  that  "the  faculty  have 
spoken  loudly  and clearly.  They  do not 
want  collective  bargaining  at  MSU  in 
1972." 

He  added:  "We  urge  all  faculty  to 
join with the (Committee of) Concerned 
Fac;ulty  in  their  call  for a strong AAUP. 
The- AAUP  will  continue  its  efforts  to 
improve  academic  governance  and  to 
protect  academic  freedom  of  the 
faculty. 

"We  urge  strengthening  the  role 
played  by the faculty affairs and faculty 
compensation  committee  in  establishing 
budget  priorities  and  in  decisions 
regarding 
the  standards  concerning 
faculty compensation." 

Mary  Tomkins  of the MSU  - FA  said 
following  Tuesday  night's  ballot  count 
that her group  didn't expect "to win  on 
the  first  ballot,  but  we  hoped to force a 
runoff." She said that the total votes for 
the  MSU  - FA  and  AAUP  (718) 
constituted a strong minority in favor  of 
bargaining. 

And  she  emphasized  that  the  ~SU -
FA  plans  to work  for  another election. 
But folloWing the count, one observer 
cracked:  "If I  were  either 'of  the  two 
groups,  I'd  cool  it  here  for  a  couple  of 
years.  That's  a  lot  of money  to, spend 
for just 700 votes."

Joseph  McMillan 

considers  his 
job as 
one  of  confronting  human 
problems. And, he says,  his goal in life  is 
"to work myself out of a job." 

After  a  stormy  Board  of  Trustee 
session  Friday,  McMillan  was  given  a 
new  job  - director  of  the  University's 
Department  of  Human  Relations  and 
assistant  vice  president  of  University 
relations. (See related story, page 4.) 

McMillan  says  of  Friday's  meeting 
that  he  has  handled  conflict  before, 
"and being  an  eternal  optimist,  I knew 
things would be all  right." 

McMillan  comes  to  the  post  after 
serving  since  1969  as  director  of  the 

University ' s  Equal  Opportunities 
Programs (EOP). 

"The  new  department  was  necessary 
to provide  expansion  of EOP,"  he  says, 
"and  to  shift  ,our  emphasis  to 
preventive  programs." 

According  to  McMillan, 

the  EOP 
functioned  mainly  as  a  complaint 
department  for  cases  concerning 
discrimination. 

"Although  this  aspect  of  the  office 
the  new 
will  continue  under 
department,"  he  says,  "we  will  also  be 
able  to  do  needed  work  'in  women's

( Science notes J 
Creation vs.  ev.olution:  A  renewed battle 

Shades  of William  Jennings Bryan,  Clarence Darrow, and the Scopes trial 
it's  happening  all  over  again,  but  this  time  it's  the  creation  view  that has  been 
booted  from  school.  And  evolutionists  are  ftghting  to  keep  those  pages  in  the 
biology  school books safe from inroads by the creationists. 

At  MSU  one  man  stands willing  to  take on  the American  As-sociation  for  the 
Advaneement of  Science  (AAAS)  as  well as  the National  Academy of Sciences by 
his  insistence  that  the  evolutionary  view  -
is  neither 
more factual nor less imaginary than the creation view. 

from  molecules to man  -

Having  given  a  paper  at last year's AAAS  meeting, John N. Moore, professor of 
natural  science, is  now throwing down  the  gauntlet  at  the  annual  meeting of the 
National Association of Biology Teachers in San Francisco this Friday. 

Last  month an  editorial in Science (an arm of AAAS), warned that "advocates 
of  creationism  are  bringing  pressure  for  the  use  of creationist  materials  in  the 
schools both of California and of other states as well" 

The  California  school  board  still  recommends  serious  treatment  of  both 

creation and evolution. 

Moore  says  that  Michigan  h~s a  bill  under  House  and  Senate  consideration 

which similarly appeals for teaching both views. 

The  Science  editorial  said  "what  is  'good'  for  California  is  likely  to become 
'good'  for  the  rest  of the  nation,  since  California  purchases  10  per  cent  of all' 
textbooks sold in the United States." 

If a state can dictate the content of science, then "it makes little difference that 

"Teachers  should  be  duty  - bound in academic  freedom  and responsibility  to 

its motivation is religious rather than political," said the editorial. 

present both the general evolution model and the creation model," says Moore. 

The  creation view states that all life forms were created more or less as they are 

seen today live or as fossils. 

Blasting the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) - which was backed· 
by  several  million  dollars  approved  by  Congress  - Moore  says  that  one  BSCS 
textbook subtitled "Molecules to Man" presents evolution with religious zeal. 

"Many, many evolutionists believe that they possess evidence that evolution ~s 
occurred  over  time,  and  still  occurs  in  their  laboratory  and  fteld  studies," says 
Moore.  "Essentially  this  belief is  based  on the  practice  of most evolutionists of 
equating evolution with natural selection. 

. 

"It is  true  that  the  researcher  may  conclude  from  his  experimental  data that 
changes in eye  color, in  eye  shape, in eye  pattern in fruit flies  do  occur, but the 
eyes always remain Drosophila eyes."

Party  to  honor 
Herzog 
The  Department  of  Mathematics · is 
inviting  any  interested faculty  members 
to  a  dinner  party  in  honor.  of  Fritz 
Herzog,  professor  of  mathematics  who 
will  be  retiring  after  a  career  that 
includes  receiving  a  Distinguished 
Faculty Award, and a tenure as coach of 
MSU ' s  national  championship 
mathematics team. 

The  dinner  for  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Herzog 
will  be  in  the  UniverSity  Club  on  Nov. 
16  at  7:30  p.m.  A  cocktail  hour  will 
begin  at  6:30  p.m.  Persons  planning to 
attend or  wishing  more information can

"The  evolutionary  view  is  often passed off to  children  as  a  fact,"  says Moore. 
"Some  evolutionists  are  athiests  who  preach  their  own  brand of religion  at the 
public's expense." 

. 

Now  the National  Academy of Science has joined the fray:  It has resolved that 
the  creation view  should not be given  equal  time with the evolutionary view. An 
academy  spokesman  was quoted as saying that the resolution was "unprecedented 
in terms of the academy involving itself in a state issue." 

"A  period  of over  110 years"since Darwin's book appeared,"  says Moore,  "is 
time  enough  to insist that evolutionists either put up hard physical evidence  for 
general evolution, or else yield in their arrogant dogmatism in writing and teaching 
about general evolution as fact. 

"There  is  immense  'reasonable  doubt'  about  the validity  of general  evolution:' 
he  adds.  "All  of  the  physical  data  from  comparative  anatomy,  comparative 
embryology,  rudimentary  organs,  blood  and  protein  analyses,  Mendelian  and 
population  genetics,  and the  fossil  rec,?rd  may  be  fttted  more  validly  into  the 
creation account."

C- T  selection process delayed 

Nominations  of  clerical-technical  employees  to  the  Women's  Advisory 
Council  will  be  "held  in  abeyance"  until  after  next  month's  C  - T  collective 
bargaining election. 

Robert Perrin, vice  president for  University  relations,  said  that the nominating 
job would  then .be  turned over to the group  that wins the election. Both the MSU 
Employees  Association  and  the  American  Council  of  State,  County,  and 
Municipal Empl<?yees are vying for the right to represent C - Ts. 

Initially,  a  request  for  nominees to the  council had  gone  to the MSUEA, since 
that  group  had  been  responsible  for  providing  appointees  to  campus  - wide 
committees before the current bargaining campaign started. 
,  The  Women's  Advisory  Council  is  a  component  of  the  new  human  relations 
department.  and  will  work  with  the  director  of  women's  programs.  Three 
nominees  to  the  group  are  to  be  provided by each  of the various campus groups: 
The  C-l's,  administrative-professional·  staff, 
labor  employees,  facuIty, 
administration,  and  student  groups.  One  person  from  each  group  will  then  be 
selected by President Wharton. 

Salary  list  no w  available 

The  much  discussed  list  of faculty  and  administrative-professional salaries  has 
been.released,  and is  available  to  persons  who  either  wish  to borrow it or, for $8 
prefer to buy it.

($8  each)  in  the  cashier's office  on  the::fiJ:# f100r  of the Administration Building. 
The policy  to make  salary data available was approved in January by the Board 
of  Tmstees  following  a  running  controversy  during  which  copies  of  last  year's 
salary list  were  sent  by  the  Committee  for  a  Rational  Pay  .Policy  to  faculty 
members.  Eventually, that list was pu11tMf~~lhe Lansing State Journal.

The  10-page  A-P  listing does not include 'years of experience in a person's field,

A  session for  'Third  Culture  Kids' 

It's tough  to  pick  them  out  of  a  crowd.  They  don't  dress  or  talk differently . 
Like  most  other  MSU  students,  they  have  an  affinity  for  beer  and  pizza  and 
football. 

But  David  Worrall,  Geoffrey':Henrich  and  Carrie  Waara  are  unique  because 
unlike  most  of their MSU  c1asmilttes they grew up on the other side of the world. 
They  are  ''Third  Culture Kiat ..  children  of  Amer1elln  foreign  service' officers, 
missionaries,  military  famlles "ana/businessmen  who  were  reared  in  whole  or  in 
part overseas.

didn't like the garishness," she says, "it cheapened everything." 

She  said  she  has  had  no  serious  adjustment  problem,  however,  because  "we 

have been moving and readjusting all our lives." 

Dave Worrall  spent his  high  school years in New Delhi where his father worked 
for  the Ford Foundation,  and Geoffrey Henrich spent most of his life  in central 
Africa  with  his  missionary  parents.  Both  were  immediately  iriJ.pressed  with  the 
: impersonality of life in the U.S. when they returned. 

The  term  "Third  Culture  Kids"  was  coined  several  Y'  .s  ago  by  Ruth  Hill 
Useem,  a  professor  of sociology  and education  in  the  Institute for  International 
Studies in  Education. 

. 

She  explains  that  the  term  indicates  that c11ildren growing up as dependents of 
families living abroad  are  not products  of the  culture of their homeland or of the 
countries in which they live, but are uniquely cross cultural. 

Mrs.  Useem  has  been  involved  in  several  research projects designed to identify 
the  effects  of this  third culture  environment  on  the  students.  She  sees  them as a 
bridge between nations and cultures. 

Council has lean  agenda 

Two  tabled items  on  education policies will face the Academic Council when it 
meets  at  3: 15  p.m.,  Tuesday (Oct.  31) in  the  Con Con  Room  of the Center for 
International Programs. 

The  itenis,  presented by  the University  Educational Policies Committee (EPC), 
concern  a  reconlmendation  to  modify  the  policy regarding credit by examination 
and  the  EPC's  review  of  the  credit-no  credit  (CR-NC)  grade  option  for  general 
education courses (News - Bulletin Sept. 28  and Oct.  5). 

The  agenda  was  set Monday by the  Faculty Steering Committee. Additionally, 
the  committee  discussed  the  status of the  faculty  grievance  officer (FGO) on the 
Council.  Currently,  the  FCO<(Michael  Harrison)  sits  on  the Council,  but with no 
voting p r iv i l eg e s . '  

. 

The  committee  referred: tiie  matter of possible voting rights for the FGO to the

C-T  election  set 

The  election  to  determine  the collective bargaining agent for clerical - technical 
workers  has  been  set for Nov. 13  and 14.Jt will involve  a selection between the 
MSU  Employees  Association  and  the  American  Council 'of  State,  County  and 
Minicipal Employees. 

In an election  earlier  this month, MSUEA  and AFSCME finished  1-2, with "no

Three  named Honorary Alumni 

'President Wharton  Willis  W.  Armistead, dean of the College of Veterinery Medicine, 
and  Albert  C.  Boyd,  executive  vice  president  of  the  Chamber  of Commerce  of 
Greater  Lansing,  were  named  Honorary  Alumni  during  last  week's  Homecoming 
events. 

Wharton  became  president  in January, 1970, after serving as vice president of the 
Agricultural Development Council, Inc.  He  is  recognized  as  a  leading  expert on the 
economic development problems of Southeast Asia and Latin America. 

Cited  as  "a quiet  but effective  trail blazer," Wharton was honored for his "many 

contributions to the University, the  nation  and the international community." 

Armistead  was  named  the  dean  of the College  of Veterinary Medicine  in  1957. 
Previously  he held every  teaching  rank from instructor to  full  professor at Texas A 
& M and was in private veterinary practice in Dallas. 

Cited  as  "a nationally recognized authority in veterinary medical education" and 
for  his  "innovative  teaching  methods,"  Armistead  has  served  as  president  of the 
American V~terinary Medical Association. 

Boyd  was  named  to  his  present  post  in  1955.  He  was 

instrumental  in  the 
establishment  of  the  Michigan  State  Chamber  of  Commerce,  the  Tri-Council 
Regional Planning Commission and the Capital Area Council of Governments. 

Boyd  was  cited  for  his  efforts  in  "c;ommunication  to  the  community  and  its 

leaders the University's contribution to the mid-Michigan area."

Another trustee cliffhanger: 4-3  for  McMillan 

( The Board recap] 

" 

Joseph  McMillan  was  confirmed  last 
Friday (Oct.  20) as  director  of the  new 
Department  of Human  Relations  - but 
his  confirmation  didn't follow a smooth 
path. 

The  4-3  approval  by  the  Board  of 
Trustees  , carne  only  after  a  closed 
session  was  hurriedly  called  to  consider 
iSsu~s  raised  by  Trustee  Warren  Huff 
questioning  McMillan's  performance  as 
head of the  University's Office of Equal 
Opportunity Programs (EOP). 

Huff had  sent  a  telegram  last  month 
to President Wharton  in  which he made 
reference  to  "grievance  and  protest" 
against 
filed  with  EOP 
allegedly 
McMillan. Huff did not elaborate on any 
charges,  however,  either  in  his  wire  to 
Wharton or at  Friday's meeting. He  said 
he wished to protect his sources. 

' 

Wharton,  in  an  Oct.  4  response,  said 
that  neither  McMillan  nor  Robert 
Perrin,  vice  president  for  University 
relations,  was  able  to  find  evidence, of 
against  McMillan.

Wharton  also  asked  Huff  for  "more 
specific  details"  concerning  any  such 
charges. 

complaints 

At  Friday's  meeting,  Wharton  said 
that  he  had  tried  without  success  on 
three  occasions  to get more information 
from  Huff.  But Huff replied that it was 
"inconceivable" 
the  president 
that 
wouldn't know about the charges. 

Wharton  strongly  criticized  Huffs 
action  and  said  that  airing  the  alleged

Wharton  says  charges  none'xistent; 
Huff calls it 'matter of inquiry' 

In  a  memorandum  sent  this  week  to 
members ,  of  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
President Wharton  said  that "absolutely 
no  complaints  or  charges"  have  been 
filed  against  Joseph  McMillan,  the  new 
director of human relations. 

The  alleged  existence  of  charges 
against  McMillan  had been  raised  in last 
Friday's  Board  meeting  by  Trustee 
Warren Huff. 

Wharton  said  the 'case  to  which Huff 
alluded  "appears  to  have  originated  in 
June  and  concerned the  complaint  of a 
female  employee  against  her  supervisor 
based on a salary dispute." 
The  charges  were 

investigated  by 
Mary  Sharp,  then  assistant  director  of 
the  Office  of  Equal  Opportunity 
Programs,  and  on  Aug.  15  Mrs.  Sharp

belief that his  wife's  complaint  had  not 
been  processed  in  accordance  with  the 
University's  Anti 
Discriminatiqn 
Policies and Procedures." 

Since  Mrs.  Sharp  has  been  on  leave 

(until  Nov.

presented  the  complaint  to  the  Anti  -

But  Wharton  stated  in  his 
memorandum  that  the case was brought 
the  ADJB  "at  the'  first  fall 
before 
meeting  of  the  ADJB ,  (which  has  not 
met during August and Stlptember)." 

also 

Wharton 

'reiterated 

his 
content~n that  he  was  nO,t  able  to get

charges, despite  three  attempts to so. 

,It  ~as  not  until  a  brief  executive 
session  of 
last  Friday, 
the  Board 
Wharton  added,  that Huff "revealed the 
nature  of  the  case  of  which  he  had 
reference.' 

HUFF  CONTENDED  this  week  that 
he  did  not level any charges at McMillan 
last  Friday;  rather,  he  said,  "I  raised  a 
matter of inquiry  before  the promotion 
was made. 

"1  only  asked  for  full  disclosure  of !l 
protest  made  of McMillan by somebody 
else,"  said  Cluff,  who  added  that  he 
wanted "full clarification" of the matter 
from  the  administration before approving 
McMillan's job change. 

session 

At  Friday's  Board  meeting,  Wharton 
accused  Huff  of raising  the  matter  in 
public 
the 
"to 
administration  and McMillan." But Huff 
said  this  week  that "the Board does all 
its  business  at  its  public  meetings,  and' 
that's the  only place I do business." 

embarrass 

In  his  memo  to  trustees  this  week, 
Wharton  said  that  it  was  unfortunate 
that. McMillan's  reputation  "was  made 
' to  suffer  even  temporarily,"  when  a 
Huf(  request  for  the  fact,S could  have 
been 
immediately,  "thus 
avoiding the entire public episode." 

,answered 

Huff  said  that  after  reading  both  the 
presi,dent's  memorandum  and  the  letter 
from 
the  complainant's  husband,  he 
feels C  "I  am  back  on  the  track,  and 
justice will  be done."

it  was  during  this  time  that  it  was 
popular  to  make  fun  of  the 
immigrants," Appel says. 

He  says  that  what  were  considered 
cartoons  at  that  time,  "is  now 
considered degradation." 

APPEL  HAS  BEEN  assisted 
throughout  the  project  by  his  wife, 
Selma.  She  has  served  as  co-researcher 
and  took  most  of  the  photographs  for 
the slides. 

She  says  that  they  have  found  most 
of  the  graphics  at  the  Smi&sonian 
Institute  in  and  the Library of Congress 
in  Washington.  Others  have  come  from 

searches  of  libraries'  rare  book  rooms, 
and flea markets and antique shows. 

Th~  Appels  spent  a  year  at  the 
Smithsonian  as visiting  scholars~ Most of 
their  slides  from 
the  Smithsonian 
collection  were  produced  under  grants 
from the Kettering Foundation. 

A  grant  from  the  New  World 
Foundation  and  several  MSU  research 
grants  have  helped  defray  expenses  of 
the Appels' project. 

ETHNIC  CARICATURE  and 
cartooning  have  not  entirely 
disappeared,  Appel  says,  "  although 

Sometimes  John  and  Selma  Appel 
don't  laugh  when  they  see  a  cartoon. 
They  say  they  don't  see  any  humor  in 
cartoons with ethnic stereotyping. 

Appel,  professor  of  American 
thought  and language,  and his wife have 
been  collecting  depictions 
of 
immigrants  and  ethnic  groups  in 
American  popular  graphics  for  the  past 
10 years. 

. 

The  collection  which  started  as  a 
hobby,  now  includes  more  than  1,500 
slides  and  approximately  300  actual 
original  and  reproduction  of prints. But 
Appel  saw  the  educational  value  in  his 
collection,  and  he  has  used  it  in  the 
classroom  while  studying  American 
civilization. 

Appel  says he believes he and his wife 
the  only  private  collectors  who 

are 
specialize in ethnic caricatures. 

"Many  think  that  the  subject  is  not 
worth  scholarly  attention," he says.  But 
he  contends  that "popular art  confirms 
the  experience  of  the  majority,  and  it 
reflects  the  attitudes  and  concerns  of 
the people for  whom it is produces."

IN  ADDITION 

its  cartoons, 
Appel's  collection  contains  illustrated 
almanacs,  book  illustrations,  dime 
novels,  comic  valentines  and postcards, 
trade  cards  and  advertising  novelties, 
wall  posters  and  billboard  cards, 
illustrated  songsheet

booksellers  and  advertisers  are  wary 
today  of  offending ethnic and religious 
and racial groups." 

He  says  that  mildly  "ethnic"  strips 
tha t  still  exist  today  such  as 
the 
"Katzenjammer Kids"  and "Maggie  and 
Jig'gs"  and  problack  strips  like 
"Luther." 

"Of course  in  television,  such  as  'All 
in  the  Family',  we  see  an  attempt  to 
deal  with ethnic  caricature in a positive 
fashion  to counter prejudice." 

Appel says  that in the  19th century 
which  has  yielded  the  bulk  of  his 
rna terial  --
it  was  not  considered 
offensive  to  make  fun  of  someone's 
ethnic,  religious  or  racial  background 
and  peculiarities.  "The  ~ominant 
majority  did  not  care  whether  blacks, 
Irish,  Jews, Germans  or  orientals found 
such caricatures offensive. 

"Eventually,  of course,  some  groups 
fought  back,"  he  says.  These 
counter-attacks  together  with more  and 
more  national  advertiSing, "which could 
not afford to offend," helped put a stop 
to some stereotypes. 

Appel  is  now  working  on  a  slide 
the  B'nai  B'rith 

. presentation  for 

Anti-Defamation Center. 

Additionally,  he  will  give  an 
illustrated  lecture  on  cartoons 
as 
materials  for 
teaching  and  writing 
immigrant  and  ethnic  history  at  the 
eighth  annual  conference  of  the 
Canadian  Association  for  American 
Studies in Toronto later this month.

opportunity in nursing. 

New program i~ aimed at 
opening access to nursing school 

The  School  of  Nursing  is  actively 
helping  minority  or  disadvantaged 
stiff  nursing 
the 
students  meet 
through 
requirements 
, proje~~ 
supported  by  a  grant  from  the  U,S~i 
Department  of  Health,  Education  and 
Welfare. 

a 

Joy  Curtis, 

program 
that  minority 
students  who 

director, 
or 
have 
in  nursing  are 

exp.}a~ned 
disadvantaged 
indicated  an 
interest 
eligible  for the program. 

The 

project 

provides 
that 

a 
for 
includes 
comprehensive 
plan 
personal  counseling,  academic  adViSing, 
and  remedial  and  tutorial  services  at all 
levels  of  the  nursing  program.  And  it 
encourages  prospective  student  nurses 
to use  supportive services already on the 
campus. 

The  tutorial  services  cover  freshmen 
courses  preceding  nursing  as  well  as 
those  required  in  the  nursing  sequence. 
"We've  found  in  a  short  period  of 
time 
to  be 
that  the  students  seem 
profiting  from  these  newly  developed 
supportive services," Mrs: Curtis said. 

She  added:  "Everybody's got  a  goal. 
We  have  no  problem  in  motivating  the 
students.  They  come  to  the  tutoring 
sessions  and  search  out  the  clinical 
assistan ts. 

"Our  aim  is  to increase  the 'minority 
students'  competitiveness  and  show 
them  that  the goal  can  be reached. And 
once  they  are  accepted into  the nursing 
program,  additional tutoring, counseling 
and  supportive  services  help  to  keep 
their morale high." 

The  project  not  only  helps  admit 
,  students to the School of Nursing, but it 
also  helps  keep them ,there, Mrs.  Curtis 
added. 

into 

She  explained  that  a limited number 
of  students  are  accepted 
the 
nursing  school  at  the  sophomore  level. 
They  must  have  completed  basic 
requirements  with  a  2.5  grade  point 
average  (GPA),and must have  a GPA of 
2.2 in their science courses. 

"It  is  important  that  we  reach  the 
incoming fresluren. and  make  them  aware 
of  our  services  bef.ore 
in 
they  are 
academic trouble," Mrs. Curtis said. 

Students showing nursing preferences 
have  been  contacted  and  invited  to 
informational  meetings.  Posters,  radio 
announcements  and  notices in the State 
News are  used to create awareness. 

"One  real  strength  of the  project  is 
the  minority tutors who  are sensitive to 
the  students' needs," Mrs. Curtis said. 

At  present  there  are  five  tutors,  six 
student  volunteers obtained through the 
nursing  honorary organization and three 
additional  nurses  who  work  with  the 
project.
