Nursing S(
By RON BENSCHOTER
An unexpected cut in federal funding
has sent University Nursing School
Dean Mary Lohr to Washington D.C. in
an attempt to get the funds reinstituted.
The cut amounts to $1,037,359, or ap-
proximatelymone third of the nursing
school's budget. Lohr and Lorraine
Fischer, Dean of nursing at Wayne
State University,, are meeting with U.S.
Michigan Senators Donald Riegle and
Carl Levin as well as other members of
Congress in an attempt to get a new
Nurse Training Act introduced in this
session of Congress.
LOHR SAID that speed is important
because funds are running out and cut-
backs will hit University nursing
programs in a few weeks unless aid is
forthcoming.

The funding cutbacks are expected to
virtually wipe out master degree
programs, programs in parent child
nursing, community health, psychiatric
nursing, and programs for pediatric
nurse practitioners.-
In additionto program cuts, the shor-
tage in funds will eliminate an
estimated $300,000 in allocated scholar-
ships, traineeships, and loans and gran-
ts to University nursing students.
LOHR SAID the programs are
designed to help alleviate the shortage
by providing highly trained personnel
in all areas that they are needed.
The action taken by President Carter
last November eliminated the Nurse
Training Act passed by Congress and
slashed funding in this area from $120
million annually to a proposed level of
$14 million in 1980.

Lohr said, "Whathdoes not make
sense to us is that this country has a
well-documented shortage of nurses."
Lohr added, "This can be seen in our
own hospital and in others around this
state and all over the country."
LOHR SPECULATED that the cut-
back would result in the eventual
decrease in graduating nurses and less
attention to patients by fewer over-
worked nurses.
Professor Philip Kalisch, a Univer-
sity School of Nursing researcher who
studies nurse staffing, said the cut-
backs would intensify existing.
problems in health care and cripple
new programs designed to contain
skyrocketing health care costs.
Kalisch also noted that the quality of
overall nursing care will unavoidably
deteriorate. The ratio of Registered

rhool to face extensive

budget cut
Nurses to licensed practical nurses ant
aides is already critically low and will
drop even further.
UNIVERSITY Hospital is the first
university-owned and' operated
teaching hospital in the country and has
in recent months come under criticism
for being overwhelmingly inefficient.
One University Hospital nurse recen-
tly said, "When you are short of staff,
you are always being pushed, and con-
sequently you don't feel like you are
doing as good a job as you could'."
Another problem the hospital faces is
the extremely high, turnover rate of
nursing staff. Each year 50-70 per cent
of the staff leave their hospital jobs,
and 'U' Hospital expects acute
problems if the supplyof trained nurses
decreases further.

Meany won 'tquit AFL-CIO

SAL HARBOR, Fla. (AP)-AFL-
CIO President George Meany brushed
aside suggestions that he retire and an-
nounced yesterday that he is mobilizing

federation members to blow the whistle
on .companies that exceed President
Carter's anti-inflation priceguidelines.
Meany also vowed to continue to

,criticize Carter's policies when
organized labor disagrees with them.
He denied that his attacks signify a
break with the president and said he
and Carter had a pleasant.conversation
on Monday.

"I THINK HE (Carter) makes some
mistakes, and frankly, I will continue to
comment on those mistakes," Meany
said, adding, "The president doesn't
seem to be upset about it."
Meany said he had promised to help
monitor violations of the . price
guidelines. Meany said Carter had
called the labor leader to ask for the
federation's help, and that Carter
thought the AFL-CIO's plan to create a
national price watchdog network was
ery good."
Meany spoke to reporters after the
AFL-CIO leadership completed
another session of its annual week-long
winter meeting here.
HE SAID continued sharp rises in the'
price of food, housing and other
necessities prove that Carter's volun-
tary program of wage-price guidelines
is not working.
Meany said he hoped that price
monitoring reports submitted by AFL
CIO's' 13.5 million members will con-
Vince the administration that the
program should be replaced by man-
datory wage-price controls.
The AFL-CIO contends that under a
voluntary program, businesses would
hold down wage increases but not price
increases. As a result, the federation
predicts that inflation this year will ex
ceed the 9 per cent rate set last year.
RADIATION AND IQ
PERRY, Ohio (AP)-Poor scores on
college entrance examinations and low
IQs may by partially a result of the'
atomic testing after World War II and
its radioactive fallout, a physicist says.
Dr. Ernest Sternglass University of'
Pittsburgh School of Medicine
professor of radiation pyhsics, told p
nuclear-power conference at Lakeland"
Community, College recently that
widespread atomic testing in the 1950s
and early 1960s contributed to the fact
that Johnny can't read now.
"The drop in levels of students'
ability to read and write is correlated to'
the fallout at that time,"Sternglass
said. Children both in 1965 and later will
show higher scores on national tests
