LOCAL/STATE The Michigan Daily - Friday, December 11, 1998 - 7 OTRE DAME ect from Page 1 information-technology, international activities including study abroad programs and human resources services, said CIC Director Roger Clark said. "We coordinate and direct and encourage and facilitate cooperation at all levels at those universities, except intercol- legiate athletics," Clark said. The last body to join CIC was Penn State University in the early '90s, Clark said, concurrent with its membership in the Big Ten. Penn State is the eleventh and last school to join the ' Ten. "It has traditionally been the Big Ten universities,' Clark said. "The membership is over 90 percent the same as the Big Ten athletic association." There is no structured application process to join CIC, Clark said, but Norte Dame administrators "have not inquired about joining CIC. "Obviously they have made inquiries of the faculty since the senate voted a few nights ago ... It's certainly a possibil- ity" Clark said. Although many Norte Dame athletic teams currently are members of the Big East Conference, which includes iversity of Miami (Fla.), University of Pittsburgh, Temple and Boston College among its members, the Irish football team is still independent from any conference. Even if Notre Dame joins the Big Ten, its football team would not participate as a conference member until 2006 because of contracts held by NBC for exclusive broadcasting rights to home games. The Big Ten is contracted with ABC for broadcasting rights of football games. "We have a contract now that would not change," said Ed Markey, NBC's vicepresident for sports press. "We have ays said that we value our relationship with Norte Dame this contract has been very successful for us. "We would renew it in a minute if we had the chance" Markey said. 'U' student overcomes disease to walk again By Adam Cohen Daily Staff Reporter She was 16 years old when a doctor looked her squarely in the face and told her she would never walk again without the assistance of a cane or a brace. But this Sunday, Therese Franco, Rackham stu- dent of ergonomics and industrial hygiene, plans to run in the Festival of Lights 5K Run/Walk at Domino's Farms. "She's our little star" said Nursing sophomore Amanda Dean, one of Franco's roommates. Franco, a 15-year-old high-school student in 1991, woke up one Friday the 13th morning in September and attempted to walk after getting out of bdi. "I fell flat on my face" Franco said. Without any explanation for the fall, she was immediately taken to an emergency room. She received crutches, but doctors did not give a diagno- sis until two months later. Finally, she was diagnosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. Franco could not use her left leg for four months from the time of the incident. Pulled out of school, Franco studied at home and started treatment with nerve blocks. It did not work. On New Year's Eve, 1991, surgeons removed part of the left lumbar sympathetic ganglia - eight inch- es of nerve near her lower back. "It was a pretty dra- matic treatment," Franco said. The doctors were very encouraged by her improved circulation, but growth had been stunted in her leg from past problems and orthopedic difficul- ties still persisted. "The doctors told me I could keep my leg, but would always need a cane or a brace," Franco said. "That's when they told me I would never walk un- aided again." After much treatment and physical therapy, doc- tors came to the conclusion she would be alright, but could not "be a weekend warrior or play for the NFL," Franco said. "I was pretty disappointed because I had been figure skating for 10 years. She started swimming and eventually joined her high school team and then a recreation league called United States Master's Swimming. "I had fitness goals, not competitive goals," Franco said of USMS. While swimming, Franco developed back pain and physical therapy did not help. Other treatments made her problems worse, Franco said. Trying to put an end to her problems, University Pediatric/Orthopedic surgeon Robert Hesinger and Robert Nobler, a neurosurgeon at Thomas Jefferson University, performed a posterior tibialias tendon transfer with achilles tendon lengthening on Franco. With continued therapy and the help of the surgery, Franco walked across her graduation stage un-aided and on Aug. 2, 1998, she could run again. "It was the most liberating thing," Franco said. "To be able to just walk out of my door and be able to run - it was just amazing, I couldn't stop laughing" Franco ran a 5K at the Cold Turkey Trot at Michigan State University with friend Todd Cisler.
