phenomenon in our lives is demonstrated in the
success of modem music, which has utilized its

and also in the American Heritage dictionary

word alone. The implication of “touch” usually
elicits positive thoughts and responses.
When I contacted Arlene Jurgens, chairper
son of the College nursing department, with a
proposed topic, she was excited about a new
concept in alternative^ ‘health tare called
“therapeutic touch.” Her enthusiasm was cat
ching.
The concept of “therapeutic touch” is based
on the human body having an excess of energy.
The person who gives therapeutic touch makes
an effort to direct his excess energy to another
person (who may not be at his optimal energy
level because of illness, stress, or for
psychological reasons) and thereby brings up
that person’s energy to a more appropriate level.
Arlene Jurgens has been working exten
sively since 1977 with Dolores Krieger, RN,
Ph.D. who is nationally known for her work in
this area and for her book, “The Therapeutic
Touch-How to Use Your Hands to Help or to
Heal.” Krieger terms the process a “healing
médiation” in which “the healer becomes quiet
and passively “listens” with her hands as she
scans the body of the patient and âttunes to his
or her condition.” She feels that the energy
transfer process is done “psychologically by a
kind of electronic transfer resonance.”
There are physiological changes, such as
changes in EEG, pulse rates, and hemoglobin,
which have been documented during the
therapeutic touch process, according to Jurgens.
“Something is causing these changes, even if it is
in their own mind.”
Touch is a “sunshine” of life, a shared
warmth which is part of the natural life process.
A light, reassuring touch or intimate contact bet
ween couples, a firm hug between parent and
child, and an arm placed on the shoulder of a
friend are desirable and necessary for physical
and mental well being.
Modern life, with its increasing machine
orientation, all its changes and stimuli, influence
and many times upset the equilibrium of our
delicate systems. The quality of attention in rela
tionships in everyday life could be “preventative
medicine” for many physical and psychological
imbalances.
Arlene Jurgens is the first to recognize the
skeptical responses to “therapeutic touch” as a
HEALING mechanism. However, she feels
positively about its future.
“We are academic, and as people, we have
tended not to pay attention to the intuitive side.
It is a potential that ALL of us have; but most of
us haven’t taken the time to develop it or even
have the awareness that we have the potential”
she noted. “Medication arid surgery are
important—but this could be an alternative. Peo
ple do have some choices andLcontrol over their
Own lives.”
This is what the Associated
Collegiate Press thinks about

Campus not
pet drop
Recently, a problem
has cropped up on campus,
a problem that need not ex
ist. Over the past weeks,
people have been abandon
ing animals on campus.
Last Wednesday, a
puppy was left up here to
fend for itself. The next
day, a box of kittens was
abandoned. Both days
were cold and rainy, and
the former day was a vaca-
tipn.
The animals are en
ding up at the ASG office
where the staff haven’t the
time, nor the means, of tak
ing care of them.
Please, if you have a
pet that you cannot take
care of, contact the Human
Society or the local pound.
Leaving them on campus is
cruel and, possibly, fatal.
