The Michigan Daily - Thursday, September 18, 1986 - Page 3 New 'U' Burn Center stresses care, research By ELLEN FIEDELHOLTZ The University's Medical Center yesterday dedicated its new state-of-the-art burn center, a comprehensive unit which emphasizes treatment, education, and research. The Burn Center is located directly above the emergency entrance of the new University Hospital. It contains 16 beds, a pharmacy, and a complex which houses equipment for hydro- therapy, dressing and treatment of burns, and operating rooms. In addition, patients have access to a burn education center, funded by a grant from the W.K Kellogg Foundation, and a research center, funded by a grant from the Johnson Wax Foundation. UNIVERSITY President Harold Shapiro, who spoke at the dedication, commended the dedication of burn center and medical center employees. "This dedication is so rewarding because the burn center represents a bridge between the past and the future," Shapiro said. The University first established a Burn Medicine Center in 1959. The center, the first burn unit in Michigan and one of the first centers of its kind in the United States, was founded by Irving Feller, a pioneer in burn care. The new facility, which is innovative because it emphasizes education and research along with care is also headed by Dr. Feller. The center is staffed by 73 specially-trained burn physi- cians, nurses, social workers, and physical, and occupational therapists. Burn Center staff members provide specialized care from the time of admission through rehabilitation. The care required is extensive because of the threat of infection and the rehabilitive process often must continue for years. NOW, for the first time in the history of the Burn Center, all aspects of the burn medicine are located under the same roof. According to Feller, the location of the new burn center allows it to take advantage of surrounding schools. "This University has a rare combination of colleges on one campus and the possibility to use the talents of many people," Feller said. The schools of public health, nursing, and pharmacy are all found nearby. In addition, the center can draw upon the resources of the nearby plastic and reconstructive surgery departments of the hospital. Active planning for the burn center has been taking place for five or six years, said John Forsyth, executive director of University Hospital. "The integrated care available at the center certainly makes it unique" Forsyth said. "There are fewer and fewer places across the country who are able to provide care like this. Burn care requires one to one, specialized nursing and there is often a great deal of cost involved. In addition, reconstructive surgery may continue for five years following an accident" Forsyth said.

Board approves Hillel expansion plan BY MARC CARREL Expansion plans for the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation's Activities Building passed their final hurdle yesterday as four oriing law exceptions were approved by the Ann Arbor Zoning Board of Appeals. The exceptions, called variances, will allow the University's largest Jewish student organization to bypass city parking ordinances and provide 63 less spaces than required. The variances, all but one of which passed unanimously, bill also allow Hillel to keep its narrow parking entrance, despite city zoning regulations. "I THINK they (the Zoning Board of Appeals) made the right decision," said Hillel director Michael Brooks. He said he had been "cautiously optimistic" before the hearing. Brooks and Harold Radin, a project administrator with the architectural firm of Harley Ellington Pierce Yee Associates, Inc., represented Hillel at the hearing. "The environmental systems in the (Hillel) building are years out of date. New heating, ventilation, and lighting systems should be installed," Radin said. Radin also highlighted the new exit stairs, elevators, and ramped corridors planned for the building to increase access for the handicapped. The proposed plan includes these renovations while enlarging the building's space by almost 14,000 square feet. "Just to make it functional," Radin said, "the building would need more floor space." RADIN added that a study by his firm had deemed it unfeasible to demolish the Hillel building and build a new one in its place. He said the final proposal was "a carefully thought out and well conceived project." Radin's firm is also involved in construction of the new Chemistry building currently being built on campus. According to Brooks, construction should begin in May after classes end next semester. The construction, he said, would take at least a year. Brooks added that Hillel is searching for a temporary location close to campus to continue its activities during the expansion. Hillel, the second largest student organization on campus, provides religious services, classes, and speakers covering cultural and political topics, as a part of its activities for students.

"He represents a different party than I do. It's not as easy as it was before," said Deem. "He's on a learning curve right now, he hasn't been here that long." Hirshorn agreed that "as newcomer, what you're expected to do is become very knowledgeable on short order Swith city policies." He added "I really don't know whats going on*." 8UT HIRSHORN seems to be jumping in head first. Since a large part of Hirshorn's constituency consists of students living off campus, he is interested in 'epresenting their views better than he feels past council- members have. "We're representing different Msets of interests. The city and the University population seem to be more at odds than working together," Hirshorn said. He is working to change the relationship between the two communities by setting up groups composed of representatives of the city and the University. Hirshorn organized the off campus crime commission, which includes members from the city and the University community. SINCE 1978, Hirshorn has been teaching graduate and under- graduate programs in public administration at U-M Dearborn. He says politics and teaching are "worlds apart." But he feels as comfortable in the classroom as' in the council room because, "I've developed over the years a sense of humor. I enjoy jokes. I enjoy laughing, and taking a tense scene and making it enjoyable." Hirshorn believes his political life will compliment his teaching because the boredom of teaching will be alleviated by new 1 THE LII IT challenges within the council. Although Hirshorn is enjoying his public life, sometimes the stress of being a public figure weighs on his family. Hirshorn's home has been deluged with mail and telephone calls from constituents concerned about various city issues since his election. "My family is having very mixed experiences about this," he admitted. BARBARA HIRSHORN said the level of her husband's involvement in issues sometimes affects their family life. "He asks my opinion and tries to get my opinion as far as personalities and as well as issues. Even their two young children get involved in the issues sometimes, she said, but are having a difficult time adjusting to life with a father who is often on television and quoted in newspapers. "Sometimes I find it intrusive,"she said. "This week there has been a lot of emotion, some of it gratifying and some frustrating." Hirshorn thinks that it is a good idea for students to register to vote in Ann Arbor. "I think it is a good idea for students to register where they live. You're living here, and you should have a voice in the city, " he said. ANN ARBOR is very similar in spirit to the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where Hirshorn received his under- graduate degeree. "But there is more of an interest in beer drinking in Madison and a better perspective on football there. In Ann Arbor football is an institution," he said. Ron Stockton, chairman of the social science department at U-M Dearborn, said that Hirshorn's classes are popular with students, because he tries to make students aware of the practical aspects of their education. Stockton said Hirshorn's academic experience should THEREAR TWO SIDES TO BECOMING A NURSE IN THE ARY And they're both repre- sented by the insignia you wear as a member of the Army Nurse Corps.
