The medical system in the United States is failing, a renowned physician/author told a University of Kansas Medical Center audience yesterday morning.

"It stinks," said T. Berry Brazelton, as he lectured about 350 medical caregivers. "Forty percent of our kids are not getting their health-care needs met. And 40 percent of our kids are not getting immunized."
Brazelton pointed to the growth of agencies providing managed health care. He said it was difficult to build a relationship when patients saw a different caregiver each time they brought their child to a clinic.
Brazelton said health-care providers needed to connect on an emotional, as well as a cognitive level, with children's parents. The best way to do this is through the children. Brazelton said.
The lecture was part of a two-day seminar sponsored by the KU Children's Center/KU Hospital, Wyandotte County Health Department
and Mid America Immunization Coalition.
Brazelton has written more than 200 scientific articles and 26 books about pediatrics and child develop-
ment. He is a clinical professor emeritus of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and a professor of psychiatry and human development at Brown University.

The board created the task force after hearing reports from students, faculty and administrators from Regents schools during a policy discussion yesterday.

"I think it could be written in one afternoon," said Larry Draper, president of University Senate. "We are in agreement on most of the issues."
"The university gets ownership of faculty products because it pays the faculty member and has an investment in the faculty," she said. "So if a student invests time and money in the university, the student should own the product."
The task force will present a draft policy to the board in May. The board plans to adopt a policy in June.
Unlike teachers or other employees, students actually pay to study at universities, said Jessica Greis, student body president at Wichita State University and president of the Regents Student Advisory Committee. Students should retain ownership of their works, she said.
Students, whose work may be more closely scrutinized by universities as copyright issues continue to evolve, also contributed to the discussion.
ing to reports.
Professors' rights likely will not change, said Joseph Aistrup, professor of political science at Fort Hays State University. Teachers' intellectual property rights historically have received special protection, he said.
"We need to keep the primary purpose of the university in focus," Aistrup said. "The policy should focus on nurturing creative environment and the free exchange of ideas."
Aistrup said that in general the creator should own intellectual property but that several exceptions could be made, including fair use of a scholarship by the university and works produced under a contract or grant.
