expansion program in July.
D r. Michael W Ukin, chief
of the emergency department,
emphasize! the importance of
hospital
emergency
room
policy which re stricts the
number of v is ito rs who may
accompany the patient into the
treatment area to one fam ily
member.
"W e've had some problems
because
emotionally - dis
tressed people accompanying
the patient to the hospital
attempt to crowd into treat
ment rooms. This can jeo
pardize the recovery of the
patient by interfering with our
effo rts to help h im ."
He cited a recent example:
"A youngster came in with
a broken leg, another had
rammed a stick in his eye.
Two patients were brought tn
with heart attacks - and an
other was brought in with a
gunshot wound.
Someone
thought we weren’ t taking care
of a patient fast enough.
You’ ve got to realize the tre
mendous emotional stress
people may be under in an
emergency situation. In this
case, one group tried to push
into the treatment room. It
didn't do anyone any good.”
The same kind of pressure
helps explain
why some
patients must wah before they
see a doctor.
"Emergency service cannot

ing experim ent were disap
There is no question but
that educational achievement
is linked toem ploym entquali-
fications,
and
that
low
achievement results in poor
and inadequate preparation fo r
obtaining and holding a job.
It is fo r this reason that
pointing in that DEO has "n o t
found a panacea fo r teaching
poor children reading and
m ath."
In spite of the disappointing
results of the experiment^
Sanchez went on, " I do want
to make it cle a r that 1 am
impressed, and I remain im
pressed with the work of social
e x p e r i m e n t a t io n . It’ s a
m u st." The experiment, he
said, has shown that social
experiments can supply "p re
cisely the kind of objective
comprehensive
information
that you really have to have
if you are going to make . . .
rational decisions.”
We support strongly the
Sanche/ point of view and add
that it is a thoroughly in
volved school patron on a
broad basts that w ill avl to
push the kinds of experimen
tation which w ill enable young
sters to reach a level of per
formance ui the basics of
reading, w ritin g and math
which is necessary to provide
them with jobs. So fa r, the
school system has failed,
especially m areas like the
Model C ities, c lie n t files of
projects Iike o p e ra tio n S lE P -
L P fully document that young
people with High School C e rti
ficates are reading on fourth
and fifth grade levels. How
can they compete in today's
employment m arketwith these
low skills? T he question needs
to be put to school systems:
"W hy M r. School Adm inis
tra to r, are you not finding a
solution by sound experimen
tation for those scores of ch il
dren whom you are ‘ passing’
without even a little chance
to make it in the world of
w ork?"
We would like to see in
novative programs using the
data of other projects such
as developed by the Office of
Economic
Opportunity and
the public needs to become
more aware of what is being
accomplished in education and
keep abreast of the latest
techniques and experiments
and th e ir results.
As an example are the re
sults of a recent experiment
dealing with the m erits of
performance contractors to
teach math and reading to
the disadvantaged children.
Under performance contract
ing, the amount earned by the
contractor depends on the
learning progress oi tlie stu
dents — the more learned, the
more earned, and vice-versa.
P re lim in a ry results of the
Office of Economic Oppor
tunity’ s experment in per
formance contracting Issued
this month indicated that such
techniques were no more ef
fective in teaching reading and
math to these children than
more
traditional
teaching
methods.
I he experiment,
conducted in 18 school dis
tric ts around the nation dur
ing the 1970-71 school year,
was designed to test tie m erits
of using performance con
tra cto rs.
Six private con
tractors worked in the 18 dis
tric ts , using a variety of e xist
ing teaching m aterials. In
two
additional
d is tric ts ,
teachers' organizations ran
incentive experments.
The
results of these have not been
released since they were
started Jater than the other
18 experiments.
OEO D ire cto r, P h illip San
chez, pointing out the correla
tion between poverty and lack
of education, said the results

Behn said part of the pro
blem is the increasing trern!
locally and nationally, tuward
use of the emergency room
as a "fa m ily d o c to r" who is
on the job 24 hours a day.
He said the hospital had
come to accept the situation
as unavoidable, in part be
cause ot "o u r present mobile

A s ia has embarked on an in
tensive campaign to mobilize
active support to a number of
antiwar activities this spring.
The illusion that the war is be
ing brought to an end so care
fully cultivated by the Nixon
Adm inistration has teen dis
pelled iroin the mind sot an ab
solute m ajority ot the Ameri
can public, as indented by a
recent Lou is H a rris poll which
revealed t h a t 53 per cent
thought Nixon was not telling
them the truth about the w a r .
The intensity of the a ir war
over southeast Asia, particu
larly North A letnam, has nev
er been greater. Shortly after
Nixon’ s return from h is so-
called "Journey lo r Peace" to
Peking came five days ol mas
sive strikes over North V iet
nam, involving more th a n
1,000 sorties, and the « m u rd
erous strikes followed close
on the heels of 101 admitted
"protective reaction" bomb
ing ra ils on the N orth. As the
H a r r i s poll shows us the
American people see thrrxigh
the transparent hypocrisy ui
Nixon’ s lies and calculated
maneuvers to fool them.
Not only is the war n o t
winding down but there is ev
ery indication th a t the Nixon
Administration hasem barkel
on a conscious policy to fu r
ther escalate It. Already men

Emanuel
Hospital's
existing
emergency
room
facilities w ill get underway
immediately in response to
tremendous pressure on the
department. Vice President
Walter Behn announced.
Behn said that hospital
authorities e a rlie r had hoped
present fa cilitie s would serve
until completion of the new
hospital building, but that sky
rocketing demand fo r services
makes the immediate expan
sion necessary. He said the
earliest possible date fo r
completion of the new building,
just north of the present hos
pital, is 1975.
Planned $35,000 expansion
of the Emergency Room w ill
provide three new treatment
areas, an improved waiting
room and some added fa c ili
ties including a conference
room fo r counseling. Space
fo r the expansion was secured
by moving the entire Medical
Records department into a
temporary structure on a hos
pital parking lot.
Behn says that Emergency
Department staff members
now treat about 24,000 patients
a year — approximately three
times the number the depart
ment served less than 10 years
ago in the same quarters.
Emanuel has fo r years borne
the heaviest burden of any
private Portland hospital in
providing emergency care.
