"WHEN THE STATE begins to have a tremendous outlet of dollars, such as in medical education, and does not get any return on that investment, something needs to be corrected. We should either get our money's worth or quit investing."
Harden said the existing optional loan program for students who agree to go to
underserved areas is "fighting a mountain with a scoop shovel."
"Finally, we beginning to address the problem with a steam shovel," he said. "I fought like bell for the loan program, but I know a loser when I see it."
Hayden said he probably would write two more bills intended to improve health care during this legislative session. One would require doctors who receive state-supported residencies to practice in underserved areas of Kansas, and the second would buy

Dealing with death subject of workshop
Death. The word evokes many memories and emotions from people who have seen it.
Some people can handle death and the emotions it brings.
But for the others, who either refuse to face death or can't understand it, the University of Kansas Adult Life Resource sponsoring a Death and Dying Workshop.
The workshop, consisting of films, small group discussions and human relations exercises, is being conducted for three years at the Price Library, associate professor of counseling.
The workshop will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

"One reason is to teach people to come to
the prospect with the prospect of their own death."
Price said, "Another reason would be to help people understand the grieving process in terms of losses in their own lives and third to help people understand the stages and dynamics of the family and what they're going through when death occurs."
Vivian McCoy, director of the Adult Life Resource Center, said "death is now a fact of life."
"It's even an acceptable subject to study since Elisabeth Kubler-Ross looked at dying as a developmental process, transformed the way death is seen, and made it clear how badly society was doing at assisting through that process." McCov said.
Three KU students will assist Price with the workshop: Martha Pearse, Wichita graduate student; Kevin Vamion, Lawrence graduate student; Vince Woods, Voicese, Leavenworth graduate student.
Information about registration can be obtained by calling the Adult Life Resource Center.
City plans for disasters
Local government shouldn't be paralyzed during a nuclear attack or a natural disaster, thanks to the new Emergency Operating Center (EOC) being developed.
The EOC, to be on the lower level of the new Douglas County Law Enforcement Center, 11th and New Hampshire streets, will be completed in three or four months.
"The EOC will be the focal point of emergency government during a disaster." Travis Brann, Douglas County civil defense director, said Tuesday. "It's the duty of local officials to direct and control services that move the public in case of such a disaster."
The five-room center will have a weather line and a teletype machine issuing up-to-date weather reports from Topeka and Kansas City, he said. Radio equipment will be purchased and installed in the center so that Lawrence and Douglas County

"The new EOC will be much more effective than the present system of communications. Bram said, could we do it better? It will be able to do it better with the new center."
"We can bring in food, lock the doors, put 50 to 80 people in here and not go out for a day."
Braun said fire station no. 2 on 61st Street, the current location, was too small to use for locking or opening.
"Doctor's wives have a lot to say about where their husbands practice. What happens when one of those doctor's wives says after six months, 'I can't stand this place one more day. Either the town goes or I know.' That sort of thing does happen."
The new EOC will have conference tables and emergency power and water facilities
Improvements in Douglas County's civil defense program are being funded by a $154,000 federal grant with matching funds of up to $67,000 each of that will be for the EOC equipment.
Sowers offers instead six resolutions that would "forcefully bring to the attention of the chancellor (Arche Dykes) and others" that the doctor shortage must be lessened.

Troupe cancels 'Cuckoo's Nest'
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," a play that has been to have presented as part of the SUA Accent the Arts Program, has been canceled.
The National Touring Company of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was to have presented the play Feb. 16 in Hochberg as part of the four-week SUA program.
Howard Collinson, SUA fine arts chairman coordinating the Accent the Arts program, said Tuesday that the troupe canceled its February and March tours because of financial difficulties and Union problems.
"The committee wrestled with statutory proposals, but there were too many matters of judgment," he said. "So instead, we wrote resolutions."
DURING THE committee's meetings, savers said, be found that no one had an understanding of the unfamiliar areas. The people who worked definitions told us the definitions were not worth the paper they're written on. The paper was hard to find, facilities, and medicine is a team effort.
Accordingly, one of the resolutions recommends that the Department of Health and Environment make a computer study to determine what constitutes an underserved area.
"I have not heard of any fatalities in western Kansas caused by a doctor shor-
"On the other hand, one doctor told me that Topeka is underserved in the area of primary services. Technically, if you break your finger and can't reach out and touch a doctor, you're in a medically underserved area."
a sixth resolution asks the Board of
i.e.ags to fund more residences in genera-
tion.
OTHER RESOLUTIONS that came out of Sowers'委班 ask the Med Center to actively recruit Kansas students and place them in Kansas communities; recruit students from rural areas in particular; develop model rural health care centers in Kansas; and allow qualified students to undergraduate and medical degrees within a academic year, a move Sowes hopes would increase the doctor supply.
