Campus/Area Nurses care for wounded in the air BY DAVID E. STEWART Special to the Korean Special to the Kansan Sydney Krampt read from the Flight Nurse's Creed: "I can set the very skies ablaze with life and promise for the sick, injured and wounded. Krampitz, associate dean of the school of nursing, presented that creed last night to 10 students at the first meeting of this year's Pre-Nursing Club in the Kansas Union. The meeting dealt primarily with career possibilities in flight nursing. Krampit, a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reserves, called flight nurses the elite of the Air Force Nurse Corps. She spoke on the military aspects and history of flight nursing. The French had the first flight nurses when they flew patients in hot-air balloons during the Siege of Paris in 1870. Air-transporting patients remained only a military operation until 1972, when the first civilian helicopter service, Life Flight, began to operate in Denver Life Flight is a flying ambulance service. Within a 150-mile radius, a Life Flight helicopter can transport patients from an accident scene to a hospital, said Cathy Pribyl, director of Spirit of Karzam City Life Flight of Spirit or Kansas City St. Joseph and St. Luke's hospitals, Kansas City, Mo., began the Kansas City area Life Flight program in 1978. It was the fifth such program in the nation. Now, more than 180 Life Flight programs serve the United States. "You have a wide exposure," she said. "You have the widest background available since you transport so many different kinds of patients from different areas." Briylb said Life Flight recently transported nine patients in one day from places in Kansas and Missouri to Kansas City-area hospitals. An ambulance could not cover as much area in as little time, she said. Life Flight also transported patients to the University of Kansas Medical Center after a skywalk collapsed. City Hyatt Residency Hospital in New York Regency Hotel in 1981. Pribyl is a flight nurse on an A-Star 350B helicopter. The helicopter can carry two patients, a pilot, a respiratory therapist and the flight nurse. Alyson Jones, Atchison freshman, said she still was unsure about her career options in nursing. But the Life Flight program makes her think about the possibility of flight nursing, she said. Manning. Johns said. The Pre-Nursing Club will meet again november 17. This spring, the club will take a tour of the Med Center. Barbara Langer, assistant professor of nursing, said, "We try to give interesting information about options in fields of study and careers in nursing." The nursing program will have advising sessions Oct. 27 and 30 and Nov. 3 and 6 at the International Room in the Kansas Union. Langer said it was wise for students considering nursing to attend the sessions so they would take the correct classes. City votes to send resolution to leaders Bv VALOREE ARMSTRONG Staff writer The Lawrence City Commission approved last night a resolution to be sent to President Reagan and Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, lauding them for their efforts to reduce the threat of nuclear war. David Longhurst, former city commissioner and member of the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice, said that too often leaders at the local, state and federal level heard only complaints from their constituents. "It's incumbent on us to support our elected officials and do something positive." Longhurst said. "That's the intent of this resolution." Besides commending Reagan and Gorbachev, the resolution urges them to keep working toward a strategic arms reduction treaty. Longhurst said Lawrence had become important in the struggle over nuclear arms in recent years because of its overwhelming passage of a nuclear freeze referendum in 1982 and the filming of the movie "The Day After" in Lawrence. Commissioners unanimously approved the resolution. In other action, the commission rejected demolition of a house at 918 E. 12th St. Wednesday was the last day the city was scheduled to take bids for either removal or demolition of the house. But City Manager Buford Watson said he had not yet received any bids for the house's removal and wanted to keep looking to save the house. Barry Shalinsky, president of the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association, agreed to assist in the search for a bidder. Shalinsky had sent a letter to the commission that said many houses that could be moved were often demolished because bid packages for removal couldn't be put together in the allotted 10 days. the commission also unanimously approved the issuance of $2 million in bonds to finance improvements to the city's water and sewer system. The total cost of the project is $6.5 million. The remaining $4.5 million will come from cash on hand, which will be accumulated over the next five years from city revenue. Also, last night was the first time the commission adhered to a ruling from Kansas Attorney General Bob Stephan requiring it to discuss appointments to the city board during its public meeting. The commission before had made the appointments in its private executive session. Kansan Fact: Over 18,500 KU Students Read The Kansan!!!! Our advertisers might save you money.
