Health internships
offered to minorities
By EVE BECKER
Dr. Richard Lichtenstein, an
assistant professor in the University
School of Public Health, last year
saw a need to attract undergraduate
minority students to public health
fields.
So he developed a summer inter-
nship program to get minority stud-
ents interested in the health fields.
That program is now in its second
year.
The internship program arranges
paid ten-week positions with local
hospitals, health maintenance org-
anizations (HMOs), and health fin-
ancing agencies.
"Its purpose is to inform under-
graduate minority students about
the whole field," Lichtenstein said.
"It's an exciting area, there are jobs
available. We want to tell minority
students that they could work in the
health field if they don't have the
interest in or aptitude for clinical
fields."
LICHTENSTEIN said that in
Detroit, which is 63 percent Black,
only four out of 22 hospital chief
executive officers are Black. "It's a
real deficit, especially in top
levels," he said.
The School of Public Health has
10.8 percent minority student enrol-
lment.
So far 42 students, including
students from other universities,
have applied for the internship.
There are 18 spots available.
Although the application deadline is
April 1, Lichtenstein will be taking
applications through the beginning
of next week.
Lichtenstein said the program is
developed to provide students with
"real world problems and projects to
complete." The participating
organizations develop a job, arrange
for a supervisor, and commit to pay
the intern approximately $200 per
week.
TO SUPPLEMENT the in-
terns' experience, Lichtenstein
holds weekly seminars for the
students in which he discusses the
health field and health care systems,
occasionally bringing in guest
speakers.
Lichtenstein attributes much of
the program's success to the stud-
ents ability to conduct and complete
their own projects and their
exposure to top administrators.
LSA senior Traci Colvin worked
in Comprehensive Health Services,
a small HMO organization in
Detroit. She was placed in the
research department and worked
with a senior research analyst,
reporting the benefits that the HMO
provides.
Colvin, a communication major,
has changed her career goals after
her exposure to the health field. She
has applied to the School of Public
Health for the fall as a result of her
summer experience.
She was particularly pleased
with the level of work she was able
to do within the organization. "In a
lot of summer jobs you don't get a
chance to see the inside, we got to
see (the health field) from an
administrative view."
LSA junior Billy Mann worked
in the Henry Ford Hospital in
Detroit, examining its patient
escort system to see how it could
work more effectively. He orig-
inally was interested strictly in the
medical sciences, but said he also
became interested in hospital
administration.
"The administrators were great.
One took me under his wing and
taught me a lot of things you can't
learn in a textbook. I was strictly
oriented to the medical sciences be-
fore," he said. "I thought admin-
istrators were always the bad guys,
but they were as concerned as the
doctors were."

who participated lost their jobs.
In the second and then in the
most recent strike the police were
called as students staged sit-ins at
the Fleming building, but no
arrests were made.
In each strike, the students
presented the administration with a
set of demands focused on increas-
raws on protest legacy
ing Black student enrollment on
campus, providing tuition waivers
for underrepresented minority stud-
ents, establishing a University-wide
Financial Aid Appeals Board, and
granting tenure to all Black faculty
members.
A 1970 proposal to replace
"Negro" with "Black" in University
publications is updated in a current
proposal to capitalize "Black".
Each strike ended in settlement
with the University administration
and the Board of Regents.

said Wright, who urged students to
keep an open mind while pursuing
knowledge.
Wright received a master's degree
in journalism from the University
in 1971 and has since served as a
foreign correspondent for the
Christian Science Monitor and the
Washington Post. She recounted
her experiences in countries where
access to information was severely
restricted and where citizens were
executed for having forbidden
books.
