Med Center satellite clinic will provide doctor for town
By MICHAEL BECK Staff Reporter
EDWARDSVILLE — Two months ago, the building was a coin-operated laundry lodged between a liquor store and a Baptist church.
The liquor store and church are still there, but the University of Kansas Medical Center has transformed the building into a small, single doctorless community.
Yesterday, University administrators and doctors gathered for the dedication of the Edwardsville Medical Clinic, which made the semirural, semisuburban community a one-doctor town.
It is the first Med Center satellite clinic.
DAVID WAXMAN, executive vice chancellor for the College of Health Sciences, opened the ceremony on the windy and prematurely warm day.
"This is a first for the University, a first for the state of Kansas," he said.
After giving credit to the state, the Board of Regents and faculty and staff of the Med Center, Waxman surrendered the pavement to the Rev. Jerry Styles, minister of the Edwardsville Christian Church.
Hands on the podium, head bowed,
Styles blessed the small, five-
examination-room clinic with its X-ray and laboratory equipment.
CHANCELOR GENE A. Budig then stepped on the sidewalk in front of the clinic and looked out to the crowd of doctors and the flat, open field to the west of the Edwardsville Shopping Plaza.
Budig praised the desire of the Med center to set up its clinic in a country where children were born.
Gene Kasper, director of special projects for the Regents, complimented the Kansas Legislature, the Regents and the Med Center for their teamwork in supplying the clinic for the community.
Lindy Trent, mayor of Edwardsville, said the town wanted and needed the clinic.
William Hoadley, the physician who will work at the clinic, said he looked forward to working with the community.
It will provide the setting of a country doctor, he said.
FINALLY, Trent and Kasper cut the ribbon, and the crowd roamed in to inspect the results of $160,000 worth of construction.
Diana Jones, director of Edwardsville Manor, a nursing home two blocks west of the clinic, drank punch and mingled with the crowd.
"I'm sure some of our residents will want to use the clinic," she said. "We
Jones said two other nursing homes nearby would probably use the services of the clinic.
have our own staff physician, but they now have an option."
Other residents said that they thought a doctor in town would be a good idea and that they planned to visit the clinic.
DARLENE SNYDER, a resident of Edwardsville, said she needed allergy shots about once a week and having a baby was one of the reasons driving the six miles to Bonner Springs.
"My husband said we should see about goering there," she said. "I think it would really help to have doctor nearby."
Another resident said she wanted a family doctor to treat her and her two children.
Hoadley said about 800 families in the area probably would use the center.
The clinic will help refer patients to the Med Center, he said, and may become a competitor of other clinics in the area.
BUT HE said the money and competition were not as important as providing quality health care to the community.
"We only want enough money to pay for the place," he said. "The idea is not to put anyone out of business or to make a tremendous profit."
Credit card companies are looking for new recruits among graduating seniors, but those who accept and begin telling merchants to "charge it" too often can find themselves with financial problems, the director of the Consumer Credit Counseling Service said yesterday.

Credit-card companies seek seniors
"All of the credit card companies do mass-mailings about this time each year to attract the graduating seniors," the director of the service in Washington, D.C.
CLYDE CHAPMAN, director of the Consumer Affairs Association, 816 Vermont St., said that those students who accepted the card offer should reapply as soon as the cards could on their credit ratings in their chances to receive credit later.
"They can easily harm their credit ratings by not paying promptly and keeping payments low."
"That's noted by the credit agencies and can affect a person's chances to get credit."
Quinn said, "You don't want to become known as a late-payer. A bad record with credit card companies now means you around no matter where you go."
Chapman said, "There are definite pitfalls to credit card use. Some students who have always had their parents picking up the bill will beawkened when they find that the bill from their own card comes to them."
QUINN RECOMMENDED that to avoid problems, a student's monthly credit card payments should total less than 15 percent of his take-home pay.
"Fifteen percent is bad enough. When it hits 20 percent it is best to get some kind of counseling or attempt to consolidate the payments," she said.
Quinn said, "Students who are just out of school don't usually have the money to run up high charge-card bills. Their parents may charge luxuries because it is more convenient, but students aren't there yet financially."
The first two to three months are not generally a problem for new credit cardholders, Chapman said, but then the cardholders become more comfortable using them. This can lead to impulse buying.
A GASOLINE and one general purpose credit card should be enough for most people, Chapman said.
Cardholders also should avoid charging up to the limit on their cards because monthly payments will be used and you may have to before being applied to the principal.
First, a student should have had a phone in his name and have paid the bills promptly and also should have had an account for at least one year, she said.
Quinn said that students should first develop a good credit rating on their own.
"If you didn't cut back on the use of the card you could be paying off that $500."
Then, he should apply for a small
loan that he knows he can pay off, using the savings for collateral, she said
A student should pay his bills on time with any local businesses that he has accounts with, she said.
After carefully using those cards, a student should be able to receive a response.
BY PROMPTLY paying charges for
about six months, the student will have
established a credit record that will get
the department store charge card, she said.
Norman Lee, director of the bank card department of the Commercial National Bank of Kansas City, Kan., said that his bank issued cards to students if they could guarantee that they had a substantial income. Lee said that he could not say what that amount was.
Chapman said that students who received many card applications should realize that they did not need a credit card from every company.
CHAPMAN SAID that in 1980 there were 12,500 financial institutions that handled more than 87 million Visa and 79 million Mastercard accounts.
American Express had 11 million cards, and Diner's Club and Carte Chase also fewer cards issued because of the income limits cardholders must meet.
Quinn said that people had become too dependent on charge cards.
Council suggests lower ticket price
"One of the scariest things in this part of the country now is that people are actually paying for groceries by charge card," she said.
By ANDREW HARTLEY Staff Reporter
The Student Sports Council, in a reversal of an earlier decision, recommended yesterday that prices for student season football tickets be dropped a dollar lower than it recommended two weeks ago.
The council, in an 11-2 vote, recommended that if the Student Senate passed an open seat resolution, the candidate would be the ticket and $26 for a reserved seat ticket.
If the Senate fails to pass an open seating measure, the council recommended keeping reserved ticket prices at last season's price of $25.
Susan Wachter, business manager for the athletic department, provided figures for the council which estimated that to be able to meet budget projections for next year, the department would have to sell about 700 more season tickets than it did last year.
Anne Stucker, chairman of the council, told the council that members of the Student Senate Sports Committee had sharply criticized the earlier recommendation because of the $2 incentive in the cost of the reserved seat ticket.
Last year, about 7,200 student season tickets were sold.
Jon Gilchrist, Senate representative
to the council, said, "I think we can increase the sales by 700. By decreasing the prices, maybe we'll bring in more people."
MIKE  HAMRICK, administrative assistant to the athletic director, said, "I don't think the athletic department has any problem with the $23-$26 proposal."
However, he said the department would not have supported a proposal that had recommended a price any lower.
Hamrick said he was confident that more student reserved seat tickets would be sold next year because of the council's promotions. However, he did not share the confidence of the council and would meet the department's quota.
"I'd love to drop ticket prices even more if more tickets could be sold," Hammick said. "But we have to look at the past and how flicke the ticket sales have been, and that we are coming off a 2-7-season."
The athletic department is not bound by the decision of the Senate, but Stucker said that if the department wanted to show that it listened to students, it would abide the Senate's vote.
SOME COUNCIL, members were concerned that the higher ticket prices they had proposed two weeks ago would jeopardize the chances of an open seating resolution passing the Senate at its meeting Wednesday night.
Soviets launch space module
By United Press International
MOCSOW — The Soviet Union launched a space module yesterday that apparently was intended to prepare the Salutz-7 orbiting laboratory for long-term occupancy, Western space watchers said.
in announcing the launch of Cosmos-143, Tass, the official Soviet
news agency, said it was test flight for the module, which eventually was deployed on the orbit of the planet.
The link-up with the orbiting space lab may come as soon as this week, with a possible launch of cosmonauts next week, they said.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
Applications for Student Senate funding are now available in the Student Senate Office, B105 Kansas Union. Completed applications are due by 4:00 p.m. March 10, 1983 in the Senate Office. No late applications will be accepted. If you have any questions, contact the Student Senate Office, 864-3710.
Both the sports council and the sports committee have endorsed open seating.
Gilchrist said that some senators might have connected the earlier recommendation of the council with the open seating bill and thought that a vote for open seating was a vote for a ticket price increase.
Open seating was the vehicle the council needed to bring more people into the stadium, he said, and the council should not endanger passage of the bill in Senate by recommending a law that semitransparent that senators would think was too high.
JOHN NETTELS, at-large member of the sports council, said that the main goal of the council is to bring more students into the stadium, not to increase the income of the athletic department.
The Senate voted down a different open seating proposal last semester.
Paid for by Student Activity Fee.
In a lengthy debate, the council also decided not to push ticket sales as hard this spring as the department did last year, although football and basketball tickets will still be available this spring.
Both the sports committee and the sports council have planned a lobbying effort to help passage. Director Monte Johnson, Hamrick, Ticket Managers, and other council members have said they will be at the Senate meeting Wednesday.
HOWEVER, the council did endorse a plan for football coaches and players to visit organized living groups between March 21 and March 28 in an effort to improve relations between the campus and the athletic department.

Manhole fire dims Boston
There were no reports of injuries, although medical crews were dispatched to some highrise buildings to help them be helped on elevators for up to several hours.
By United Press International
BOSTON — A fire cut power to the city's financial district at the height of rush hour yesterday, trapping hundreds of people in elevators and leaving thousands more struggling to get home in darkness and rain.
THE FIRE and explosion that occurred in a marhole at 3:30 p.m. EST forced the Boston Edison Company to pay $185,000 for what said Edison spokesman Bill Connolly.
"That manhole was feeding 24 major lines," he said. "The fire damaged seven lines, and to prevent damage to voluntarily dumper the whole network."
Among those facilities affected were South Station, the city's main train depot, the Federal Reserve building and the popular Quincy Market area.
A spokesman at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority said backup power was being used to run trains in and out of South Station.
THE QUINCY Market area, which houses many posh specialty and gourmet shops, was closed at 4:30 p.m. Police said there were no reports of looting in the area hit by the blackout. About 30 additional police units had been put on patrol.
