Heart attacks confronted in clinic
By DON GREEN Staff Writer
Staff Writer
Dealing with heart attacks is a reality few people want to face, but 25 individuals prepared for that reality after gaining emergency heart attack treatment. Inification in a recent cardiopulmonary clinic at the University of Kansas.
"My father has had two heart attacks thus far," Tom Byers, Marsyville junior, who attended last night's session, said, "and although I hope the occasion will be again, but I cannot be able to offer assistance at a critical moment when he would need it most."
The clinic, which began Feb. 28 and ends Tuesday, is sponsored by the Interfraternity Council.
Cardiopulmonary is a mixed derivative from the Greek word cardio, meaning compression of the heart, and the Latin word pulmonary, meaning ventilation of the lungs. The technique is used to resuscitate heart attack victims by blowing oxygen into the heart. If oxygenated blood isn't flowing within four to six minutes, brain cells are destroyed.
THE CLINIC, conducted by the Douglas County Ambulance Service and the Douglas County chapter of the American Red Cross, is divided into three sections. The first section, on Feb. 28, March 1 and March 7, was for fraternity house mothers and the
remaining two sections were for fraternity members.
The sections, the host of which was Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, consisted of three sessions, each lasting three hours each. The sessions included practical learning and the final three hours testing.
To obtain certification, each candidate must score 80 percent or higher on a written exam.
The volunteer instructor for last night's session was Marlene Oswald, emergency medical intensive care technician for the ambulance service.

"The thing I noticed is that you're not getting your shoulders directly over Amnii. Oswald last touched her. We're being to tire very quickly and do inadequate CPR."
Besides the cardiopulmonary functions, the trainees also must pass a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation test.
The written exam tests trainees' knowledge of cardiac arrest situations, infant and child emergencies, airway obstructions and symptoms of heart attacks.
The certification is effective for one year can be renewed for a three-year certificate.

Black sorority spurs Panhellenic

Staff Writer
One of the University of Kansas' three black sororites has decided against joining panhellenic, Katie Rhoads, Panhellenic president, said Tuesday.
Treveda McFall, a member of the sorority, Sigma Gamma Rho, said the sorority had been considering joining Panhellenic as an associate member but decided that it did not have time to devote to the organization.
"We are just organizing on campus," McFall said. "We have organizational things to get out of the way before joining Panellenget.
"It is nothing against Panhellenic. We just didn't feel we had the time."
McFall said she did not know whether Sigma Garma Rho would join Panhellenic.
Rohda said she had received a letter from her father, before spring break, informing her of its decease.
THERE SEEMED TO be doubt as to whether Sigma Gamma Rho had joined Pannellite last semester. Cinda Gaines, a professor at the University of Gamma Rho had contacted her to say they were interested in joining. Both she and her husband were invited to join Gamma Rho to be an associate member.
However, Alberta Wright, vice president of Sigma Gamma Rho, said the sorsity had taken steps to prevent any such incidents.
Rome wanting Easter tourism not terrorism
ROME (AP)—Despite a wave of terrorism that peaked with the kiddingup of former Premier Aldo Moro, thousands of tourists are flocking to Rome for Easter week, the pivotal feast of the Christian calendar.
Travel agents reported no cancellations by visitors, mainly from the United States and Europe, who have booked solid for Holy Week and the next few weeks Rome's 50,000 hotel rooms and 25,000 extra beds in convents and other religious houses.
There are, however, constant reminders for jet-setter and pilgrim alike that this is a country that has been in broad daylight in the Rome street gunmen from the extreme leftist Red Brigades kidnapped one of the country's most respected political figures, James Bulger.
Tour buses were being delayed by roadblocks, but sightseers also were benefiting from a sharp drop in crime since the morning dragon March 16 for the Moro kidnappers.
Last year tourism earned a record 16.6 billion and the government expects that growth will continue.
Bloeds said that as an associate member, Sigma Gamma Rho would have the rights and privileges of full members, but would not be subject to assignments, which would not affect its members.
