Life on M*A*S*H* realistic, say Korean war vets By MIKE AUS When MASH ends its ten-year reign as one of TV's most popular series February 28, Ann Arbor residents who served in the Korean War will be lamenting the loss of a realistic por- trayal of life on the front lines. Ann Arbor resident Spud Watkins, an Army hospital administrator in Korea, during 1952, said he especially ap- preciates the program's commentary on the war. "IT REALLY shows the stupidity of the whole thing," he said, "and it shows that people really do care about others in times of crisis." Watkins, a casualty evacuation specialist during the war, said the show generally presents a realistic picture of life in a MASH unit, but added there are some differences between television and real battle situations. The biggest difference, Watkins said, was the size of the MASH units. Instead of the dozen or so patients being cared for in the television show, "a real MASH unit will have 35 to 50 patients in a tent," he said. "CASUALTIES came in all different categories and they were coming in all the time," he said. "This is quite dif- ferent from what you see on the TV. There you're seeing only the serious' trauma cases." Dr. Thomas Petrick, a retired physician who served in Korea for the last seven months of combat, also en- joys the series and. believes it realistically presents the war situation. Unlike Watkins, however, Petrick said the show takes liberties with political commentary. "The television series is pretty close to it when they stick to medicine, but they take the social consciousness of the Vietnam War and transfer it to the Korean War. It didn't really work that way," he said. PETRICK POINTED specifically to the character "Hawkeye," whom he described as "very uptight about the war". Petrick said that, although people felt strongly about the war, "They weren't that bleeding about it." DURING THE war Petrick served with the Korean Military Advisory Group (KMAG) and was an advisor at a Korean MASH unit. He explained that American physicians were needed in this way because of the inferior training of the Korean physicians. "I cured the entire Korean Army of gonorrhea because they were mis-diagnosing it," Petrick said.

Miscellaneous By BILL HANSON Great Britain, like the United States, has been hit hard by unemployment in the past few years. Keeping that in mind, Britain would not seem a likely place for American college students to find work. Thanks to a special agreement bet- ween the British and U.S. governments, however, an employment exchange program, which began in 1966, allows students the opportunity to work abroad. Police notes 1~ THE PROGRAM, administered join- tly by the British Universities North America Club and4he Council on Inter- national Educational Exchange, has helped thousands of American students to find work in Britain, bypassing the red tape involved in getting foreign work permits. A fee of $60 buys qualified students a "Blue Card," which clears them for six months of paid work overseas. A similar employment program in Ireland was set up in 1975 in cooperation with the Union of Students in Ireland and the Irish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. HUNDREDS OF students participate annually and are permitted to work throughout Ireland for a period of up to four months. Earlier this week, Nicholas Meaney and Maggie Barnes from the British program, and Irish representative Seona Mac Reamoim were in Ann Ar- bor to address students about their Subscribe to PhOn74gan Phone 764-0558 respective programs. All three stressed that there ale plen- ty of good jobs in Britain and Ireland which pay enough to cover room and board and provide some. spending money, if students are willing to look for them. "THE IDEA of the program is to give students who normally couldn't afford the cost of traveling in Europe the op- portunity to do so," Meaney said. Dr. Jim Gehlhar of the University's International Center said, "It's a good program because it offers students a means to get jobs (in Europe) legally over the summertime." In the past, students have worked as waiters, bartenders, farmhands, hotel receptionists and fruit pickers, to name just a few. These kinds of jobs can be found upon arrival. SOME STUDENTS have even fourIfO jobs more closely related to their field of study, or work of a more professional nature. This kind of work, however, is more difficult to find, and students are advised to make serious efforts well ahead of the time they plan to arrive. Information about both programs, as well as similar programs in France and New Zealand, and a travel-study program in Dublin, can be obtained from the International Center, which will remain open during spring break. Man goes on rampage A 59-year-old Ann Arbor man went on a rampage Tuesday morning, smashing a computer terminal and throwing hot coffee on a police officer before he was arrested. Police said the suspect, Craig Wilder, became im- patient while waiting in line at Regency Travel on the corner of Maynard and E. William and asked a female employee for a plane ticket to China. When the woman asked how he wanted to pay for the ticket, Wilder allegedly became up- set and threw a chair, missing her. Police said he threw a flower pot at another employee before picking up a computer terminal and smashing it on a desk top. Wilder then allegedly walked out of the travel agency and over to McDonald's restaurant on Maynard. When police arrived at the restaurant, he threw hot coffee on one of them, forcing them to subdue him. Bond was set at $10,000 after he was arraigned on charges of felonious assault and malicious destruction of property. Wilder was ordered to the forensic center at Ypsilanti Regional Psychiatric Hospital for examination. Student robbed at gunpoint A gun-wielding robber accosted a 19- year-old University student outside of Goodtime Charlie's early yesterday morning. Police said the victim was walking down South University when the robber grabbed him from behind and held, a gun against the student's. back, demanding money. After taking the victim's wallet, which contained a small amount of cash, he fled on foot. Police said they have no suspects.
