educate them."
ANOTHER RECENT graduate,
Frank Szechota, said that even though
he didn't think the program should be

dated. Important classes were missing,
he said, but "the funding just wasn't
there."
1981 graduate Cathy Horrigan agreed
that "the program needs to be
changed," adding that if the Univer-
sity's physical therapy training
program isn't going to get any more
money it should be discontinued.
There are only two other schools in
the state with physical therapy
programs: Wayne State University,
located in Detroit, and Oakland Univer-
sity, in Rochester. Oakland's program
is not yet accredited by the state, but
program director Judith Canfield said
she doesn't anticipate any problem in
earning accreditation.
Canfield said that it would be difficult
for a University of Michigan student to
transfer into Oakland's program.
