Page 8 Portland Observer Thursday, May 20, 1976 Asthma camp offers experiences The child with asthma, who signs up to go to Camp Christmas Seal this summer, can experience the opening up of a whole new world, according to Emil Hardana, M.D., assistant professor of medicine and head of allergy division. University of Oregon Health Sciences Center, who will also be the camp's medical staff coordina subtly resented and one who considers himself a cripple. One of the most valuable things the Camp Christmas Seal experience can give this child is a feeling of security, adventure and the knowledge that there are others like him. While at Camp Christmas Seal there will be round the clock medical staff and special dietary and recreational concerns, the medical staff, according to Bardana. will maintain a low and nonchalant profile - much like "the battalion medical officer in the Marine Corps." The medic will be available to see that the child takes his medications, to distribute band aids, as needed, to teach the camper something about his disease and, of course, to function in emergency episodes. But not to hover over. Experience has shown, the doctor said, that asthmatic children, in a camp situs- tion, have very few problems. They learn they can tolerate more than they or their parents thought. The pilot session of the asthmatic camp will take children from nine through thirteen with parental and doctor ap proval.

John Sveta, an experienced pilot who served in Vietnam and with over 2.500 flying hours to his credit, is one of fifteen senior ROTC cadets from the University of Portland who is participating in a unique management training program with the Oregon Air Guard. The program, similar to one given at the Air Force Academy to third year Students, is being offered to the Univer sity of Portland's ROTC graduating se aiors for the first time in cooperation frith the 142nd Fighter Interceptor Group. Oregon Air National Guard. According to Captain Jim Pyle, Assis tant Professor of Aerospace Studies at the University, “It's the first time that a program of this magnitude has ever been attempted in the northwest."

The object is to acquaint the cadets with their chosen Air Force career field or one that is related. It also allows the student to observe management practices in action, similar to those studied in the classroom. Each student is required to observe his Air Guard counterpart at work for a minimum of eight hours during April. The soon-to-be commissioned pilot, Svela, thinks the program is just what he needs. “It's great to be around profes sionals and to get first hand information on what to expect," he said. Another participant. Cadet Sue Leas, with an interest in the air-weather service, remarked. "This has introduced me to the technology and management practices so necessary in the air-weather field." Upon graduation, the Portland-trained ROTC cadets will be commissioned in the U.S. Air Force. Keep A Leader From North Portland I q Our Legislature The Oregon Lung Association's pilot project camp for children with asthma will be held August 22nd through the 29th at Camp Colton in Clackamas County. The prominent Portland allergist said that the asthmatic child, by falling in league with his peers, can come to know and share here-to fore untried activities. He can learn more about his disease and how to cope with it himself. He'll learn, he stressed, what he CAN do, instead of what he can't. And, in so doing, he'll probably have the time of his life. In an interview with Dr. Bardana at UOHSC, the nllergist painted a verbal picture of the typical child with severe asthma.

Dr. Robert Costi said the new classes will expose three areas where Western contact has been critical in the development of Asia and Africa. The three areas, Dr. Costi said, are Western imperialism before the 20th century, em phasis of 20th century events, and the development of mili tarism. One term transferable courses will be offered sequentially, but Costi said they need not be taken chronologically. The courses are Era of Western Imperialism, World in Crisis, and War and the Modern World. Dr. Costi, an Oregon City resident who has taught at PCC for six years, explain ed the significance of the new classes. “We no longer can rely on oceans and distances to separate the various conti nents. Advancements such as supersonic transportation and international business techniques have brought all portions of the world much closer together. Today we find American government and busi- ness exchanges occurring in Asia and Africa as often as in Europe." "Moreover," Dr. Costi added, "Ameri can education has primarily focused on exposing the culture of the United States Dr. Costi indicated a need for Ameri cans to spend more time investigating the emerging nations to be able to under stand and deal with the people of these countries. “The two continents have recently gained a tremendous amount of world attention. They possess rich and varied cultures largely influenced by Western ideas and policies." In the first course Dr. Costi plans to focus on the impact of 18th, 19th and 20th century Western imperialism on these continents. “While this Western en croachment proved economically profit able, it oftentimes occurred at the ex pense of the natives. The motivation for this imperialism and its consequences will be the primary areas of investigation," he explained. When Dr. Costi turns to the second term his focus will show how many of the Western ideas imposed on the natives became the basis for contemporary local uprisings against foreign domination. The third class will trace the develop ment of militarism including types of c o n v e n tio n a l and u n c o n v e n tio n a l warfare, the importance of nuclear wea pons, the influence of war on current world advancement and its future trends, and Europe. In the past this was acceptable because much of the remain ing portion of the world was either backward or under Western domination.". Households receiving rent or mort gage supplements from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) who have applied for and were determined eligible or ineligible for the Food Stamp Program since October 8, 1975, may be due retroactive benefits in the form of cash of food coupons, ac cording to a receut vtu£f issued by the United States Court of Appeals. mortgage supplements as income. The fiscal impact of the change has not yet been determined.
