By RITA CLARK Prestige, research potential, and faculty reputation helped make the University second in the nation for corporate contributions during the 1979-80 fiscal year, Vice President for University, Relations and Development Michael Radock said yesterday. The more than $13 million in corporate gifts last year set an all-time high for the University. Nation- wide, only the University of California system ex- ceeded the University in levels of corporate financial support. THE UNIVERSITY also had a good year for total private gifts. Donations from individuals, foun- dations, and private corporations exceeded $33 million and made 1979 the second best-year ever for contributions. Radock attributed the high private gift total to "much more aggressiveness on the part of the fund raising staff." The University has made a more concentrated effort on raising money in the areas where there are poten- tial donors "whose lives are richer because they live in the University region," Radock said. Except for the University of Minnesota, the Univer- sity collects more private money than any other public college, Radock added. The $33,874,620 collec- ted this year contributed to the University's $622 million operating expenses. "THERE HAS BEEN a large increase in the faculty and students volunteering to raise money for the University," he said. Radock attributed the increased participation to greater awareness of the decline in the University's state appropriations. Both the number of donors and the amount of in- dividual contributions reached record highs in 1979- 1980. Although Radock is expecting a decrease from corporations and foundations in coming years, he said he is expecting an increase in deferred gifts and contributions from alumni.

POSSIBLE CT TO HEALTH CARE COSTS: Phar-masslearn medical kil MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPI) - A possible cure for skyrocketing health dosts is to revert to the days when coun- fry pharmacists recommended these pills or that tonic. That's the opinion of a University of Tennessee Center for the Health Scien- es faculty member who is director of a program to teach the state's phar- macists to make simple'diagnoses and recommend over-the-counter medication. "Pharmacists have been doing this from day one," said Quentin Srnka, who has a doctorate in pharmacy. "We're just training them to do a better job." FUNDED BY a three-year $130,198 grant from " the Department of Education, officials are now drawing up a curriculum. A pilot program will be given to a few pharmacists next fall and by 1982 it should be available across the state. Srnka concedes the program is likely to be opposed by many doctors who see ATTrENTION: U of M Fans! the visit to the pharmacist as one less patient in their office. But he said there are physicians in many areas that are strong proponents of self-care. "Many think that's the an- swer to the rising cost of health care," he said. SRNKA QUOTED Virginia physician and author Don Vickery as saying as many as 70 percent of visits to the doc- tor are unnecessary. Many people who are paying money to physicians for un- necessary examinations should instead be consulting their pharmacists, he said. After the training, pharmacists will be able to form most diagnoses just as their medical counterparts do-through simple questioning. "We will train them so that if a per- son comes into a pharmacy with a headache, the pharmacist will be able to ask the right questions," Srnka said. "WE WILL BE able to categorize the headache and suggest a non- prescription medicine. Or the answers to the questions may indicate that the person needs to see a physician quickly." In addition to questioning, however, pharmacists will be capable of utilizing common medical tools such as taking blood pressure, pulse and simple lab tests. "Pharmacy education prepares pharmacists to be drug experts," Srnka said. "But in the past, we have sometimes neglected the link between drugs and disease symptoms.' THE ONE-YEAR course will utilize home study, with occasional group sessions at selected sites. "His practice would become his laboratory," Srnka said of the '"community pharmacist." "We want the pharmacist to be a con- sultant to help the patient help him- self," he said. "We're leaving it up to the consumer to make up his own mind." He said Americans have a lot to learn about their health. "People don't know generally when to see a doctor and when to use self-care at home," said Srnka. Refugees find new home in Ann Arbor (Continued from Page 1) trying to maintain their ethnic heritage. AFTER CROSSING the Mekong River on their journey to Thailand, the Phommavanh family was taken prisoner by the Thai police, according to Say Chai Phommavanh. "We spent two months in a Thai jail; an open, un- sheltered stockade," the mother of five children said. "We couldn't lay down at night because of the worms and bugs in the ground." Families like the Phommavanhs were not allowed to leave Thailand and settle in the United States unless spon- sors here could guarantee they would have a place to live, would be fed and clothed, and would be enrolled in English classes. Those responsibilities were taken on, primarily, by religious groups and their members. Members of the Phommovanh family have made many changes ini their lifestyles after their arrival in the United States.

SIGMA PHI EPSILON CORNER HILL & STATE STREET member of the First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor who helped the family get settled, said it was difficult for the Phommovanhs to get used to the cold. "WHEN THEY first got here the children would go out in the snow in their bare feet," McKinnley said. She also said the family found it difficult to get used to canned, rather than fresh, fruits and vegetables. Sue Homeyer, who sponsored two Vietnamese refugees through the Holy Trinity Chapel in Ypsilanti, said In- dochinese men and women have very clearly defined social roles. "A 34-year- old woman will defer to her 19-year-old brother as head of the household," she explained. . But while some Indochinese women chose to keep their traditional social roles, many of them have chosen to become more independent after ex- periencing the opportunities for the ad- vancement of women in the United States. KITTY ROBERTSON, who said she has sponsored many Vietnamese families through the Divine Shepard Lutheran Church in Ann Arbor, said, "In some families the women can't be independent without being seen as rebellious. "But others," she continued, "especially the younger women, are very independent.. . Each Vietnamese family is different, just like we are." A common problem shared by most refugee families is the language barrier. "It was hard for them to find good jobs because they couldn't speak English," said Arlene Zehnder, a member of St. Luke Lutheran Church in Ann Arbor who said she has sponsored many Indochinese families during the last four-and-one-half years. "Most of the men had prestigious jobs in their country and had to start at the bottom, but they didn't mind at all." ANOTHER problem Zehnder men- tioned was that of loneliness. "After they had been here for six to nine mon- ths and the newness of everything had worn off, they started thinking of all their relatives that they had left behind and they got lonely," she said. On the other hand, all of the families that Robertson sponsored were related to each other. "They do a lot of socializing with their relatives and other Vietnamese friends," she said. "That way they can live here and have American friends while still retaining their Vietnamese culture." Be an angel .. . Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Israeli government delays decision to call early elections JERUSALEM-Prime Minister Menachem Begin's government, on the brink of collapse, prolonged its life yesterday be delaying a final decision on whether to call early elections until next week. Although Begin has openly supported early elections, aides said leaders of his Likud Party were seeking to broaden their parliamentary base to allow the government to complete its term until November. Ariel Sharon, architect of the policy of building Jewish settlements in oc- cupied Arab territory, wants the government to stay in power as long as possible to expand settlements on the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Begin's government was left without a majority in Israel's 120-seat Knesset (parliament) when Finance Minister Yigael Hurvitz resigned Sun- day and pulled his three-man Rafi party out of the ruling coalition. Thousands strike in Poland WARSAW, Poland-Damands for an independent farmers' union and work-free Saturdays fueled Poland's labor unrest yesterday as workers struck near the Soviet border and draped Warsaw buses with placards and Polish flags. In Rzeszow, in the southeast corner of Poland about 40 miles from the Soviet frontier, employees laid down their tools in a two-hour warning strike to support private farmers' demands for a union independent of Communist Party control. Sources put the figure on the number of enterprises involved between 14 and 30 and said tens of thousands participated in the stoppage. Salvadoran gov t charges Nicaragua aiding leftists SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador-Salvadoran government sources said yesterday they believed 100 men had been sent from Nicaragua to reinforce leftist guerrillas fighting to topple El Salvador's government. The U.S. ambassador here said intervention by the leftist Nicaraguan government would "change the nature" of the conflict. But it was unclear whether the reported intruders were Nicaraguans. The Salvadoran insurgents, meanwhile, were holding a provincial capital and had government troops tied down in a three-province area, and in Washington the Carter administration was preparing to renew suspended military aid to El Salvador. The report of possible help from Nicaragua came as leftist sources charged anew that the military governments of neighboring Guatemala and Honduras had sent their own troops across the border and into the battle against the Salvadoran insurgents. FBI agents disciplined for news leaks in Abscam probe WASHINGTON-Five FBI agents and two Philadelphia prosecutors were sharply disciplined by the Justice Department yesterday for news leaks in the Abscam investigation and other federal probes, Attorney General Ben- jamin Civiletti announced. Disciplined for Abscam leaks were Quentin Ertel Jr., the official spokesman for the FBI in New York, who was suspended without pay for 30 days, reassigned and placed on probation; and Philadelphia U.S. Attorney Peter Vaira and his top assistant, John Penrose, both of whom were cen- sured. The action came as the department concluded a massive inquiry that lasted six months, cost a half-million dollars and included more than 1,200 in- terviews aimed at finding the sources of news stories about the in- vestigations. Chicago abolishes city workers' civil service protection CHICAGO-The City Council as scrapped civil service protection for all future city employees except police officers and firefighters, a move that makes Chicago the nation's only major city without an employee personnel code. The ordinance, which was introduced and passed last night, could mean patronage employment of 14,000 people, in addition to the 10,000 already hired under that system and remaining on the payroll as "temporary" em- ployees. Many "temporary" employees are kept in that category years after being hired. Hiring firing and promotions would be left up to the mayor and city depar- tment heads. The ordinance would eliminate requirements for showing-of merit in competitive tests and also would abolish guarantees that employees would be fired only for cause proven in Personnel Board hearings. Hags apooval almost certain WASHINGTON-Alexander Haig, whose nomination as Reagan's Secretary of State is due to be acted on today, called his five days of confir- mation hearings an "extraordinary experience." Sen. Alan Cranston (D-Calif.), assistant Senate Democratic leader who examined a key Haig tape from the Nixon White House said during yester- day's session, "I must say to you in all candor. . . I am satisfied that the transcript in no way suggests that you intended to counsel the president to commit perjury, to lie, to have a convenient or selective memory, or in any manner to suggest or to imply anything of the sort."
