Students ask for reduced time load
By BRIAN LEVINSON Staff Reporter
KANSAS CITY, Kan.- Students in the KU College of Health Sciences are pressuring their faculty to reduce the amount of time students must spend with practicing physicians in the state.
The preceptorship program, a requirement for graduation from the College, sends medical students out to practice practicing physician for two months.
At a meeting last week, the Medical Students Assembly said it would like to have the preceptorship length reduced to one month.
In the preceptorship program, a student follows a doctor around and is acquainted with the actual patient. For the second year, Terry J. Wall, MSA president, said,
The students gave a petition, signed by 100 students, to Marvin Dunn, dean of the College of Health Sciences. The petition stated that the students should be given the extra month they gained by the extra month. It also stated that the extra month should be elective for those students who wanted it and that the students thought the school switched from a three-year to a four-year program to students to take more electives, not to increase the required classes.
"With a one-month program, the student does not have much opportunity for follow-up," Whitehead said. "He has to come back (to school) just when he is getting used to the routine."
Dunn refused to comment on the petition.
THE FACULTY VOTED for twomonth preceptorship in 1975, when the College switched to a four-yearcurriculum, Fred Whitehead,assistant director of the program,said.
The preceptorship program started out as a three-month program in 1951. Whitehead said.
Whitehead said there were good reasons for both a one-month and a two-month preceiving program.
Wall said there was a good amount of opposition to the two-month program from students in the class. Some students to the change be affected by the change.
KEN P. KOENINGS, third-year medical student, said the additional month of preceptorship made it possible to teach the elective classes he needed.
In addition to the petition, the MSA said it would draft a letter listing its criticisms of the two-month preceptorship and send it to each of the school's faculty. The form letter will be accompanied by a personal letter from a medical student, the MSA said.

Students to protest cuts in student aid programs
By KARI ELLIOTT Staff Reporter
College students nationwide can protest the proposed cuts in student aid programs tomorrow.
"The United States Student Association is organizing National Student Action Day in which students can tell President Reagan and Congress what the impact of the proposed education cuts is on student achievement, the director of state and systems organizations for the association, said yesterday.
The theme of the day is,"Invest in higher education; it's our best defense."
Activities around the country will include rallies at state capitals, letter-writing campaigns and meetings with legislators, Sweeney said.
ON THE KU CAMPUS the Associated Students of Kansas, USSA and other student organizations are sponsoring a letter-writing campaign. Information tables will be at Wescoe Hall and the Kansas Union.
"We'll have information about the extent of the financial aid cuts and what their impact will be on students," Greg Kasemba said. "SISA 'assain' board member, said."
Officials from the student affairs and financial aid offices will be at the information tables around room to explain the proposed cuts. Schnacke said.
"The primary focus is to draw attention to the education cuts," he said. "But students will also have an opportunity to be involved in the Regents about the fee increase."
Another reason for the protests is to tell state legislators what the administration's proposals will mean to their constituents, Sweeney said.
"President Reagan plans to turn over to the states some of the expense of education," he said. "With the economy impact on the state will be strenuous."
The House bill recommends restoring money to education that the Reagan administration wants to eliminate, Sweeney said.
"The decentralized action will allow the average student to participate in the campaign," Sweney said. "It may help students get over the feeling of powerlessness and that they can't do anything about the education cuts."
SWEENEY SAID THE campaign was one of the first protest efforts where a wide range of student groups combined forces.
"Action Day is a rallying point; it's not a beginning or an end," Sweeney said. "It's a long, slow process to educate the people."
SWEENEY SAID STUDENTS could work in their local areas where they would be the most helpful.
Some other organizations involved in the Action Day include the National Women's Student Coalition, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and the National Alliance of State Student Associations.
On the national level, the student protests might convince congressmen that education needs to be a high priority, Sweeney said.
"We want the House members to back the budget committee's education bill," he said.
Students on more than 30 campuses in 30 states will participate in National Student Action Day, Schnacke said.
The House will vote on the bill Monday.
