A three-year grant of almost $400,000 from the U.S. Public Health Service will fund the new program which will: - seek commitment to nursing careers from ethnic minorities or educationally disadvantaged, or both, Oregon High school students. - provide remedial and enrichment experiences to students who have failed prenursing or admission to the School's baccalaureate or graduate programs. - provide remedial, enrichment, and other experiences during the student's Ù *v» MeCraa.

The School has had a minority recruit ment program since 1871 that has in creased the number of minority students in the School. However, the percentage of ethnic minorities to the total student body taken as an annual average has remained approximately the same. practitioner tends to serve his or her own ethnic group. Ethnic minorities identified in the new program include Blacks, Native Ameri cans, Orientals, and Chicanos. As of Fall term 1978, the School of Nursing enrollment included 513 stu dents in its three-year baccalaureate degree program and 111 in its graduate program. In the baccalaureate program there are 13 ethnic minority students (two Black, one Native American, seven Oriental, three Chicano) and in the graduate program there are two ethnic minority students (one Black, one Orien tal). School of Nursing research has shown that of Oregon's 2.2 million citizens, slightly less than 100,000 have been identified as ethnic minorities. School of Nursing Dean Dr. Carol Lindeman said the grant will allow the new program to build upon the founda tion set by the current program. She said it is hoped the new program will increase the number of minority health professionals and thus “not only would the quantity of services to minori ties increase, but also the willingness to accept them.” She said this is based on the assumption that the minority health Although ethnic minorities make up more than four percent out of the state’s population, the data shows minorities' contribute less than one percent of the state's total health manpower. Of these, the majority constitute allied health^ technical nursing, and hospital aide voca tions. The research further reveals that at the professional level, few minorities can be found. The state's medical, dental, and nursing associations have estimated there are less than ten physicians and dentists practicing in the state and an estimated sixteen graduate level nurses from ethnic minority groups. First year funding from the U.S. Public Health Service for the new program is $133,857. I & R s u it (Continued from Page 1 Column 6) North Koreans in the early 1950's. Then, it was called brainwashing: now, it is called behavior modification. Behavior modification includes such things as paragraph 83. “Prisoners are frequently locked into the black box stripped of clothing and deprived of any bedding. . The black box cells are total isolation, they differ from segregation cells in that the guards actions cannot be seen by any other prisoner. Often prisoners in these cells are stripped, maced and cold air fans are turned on. At times prisoners are handcuffed to the cell bars for several hours. The toilets in these cells have been turned off for several days. In O.S.P. are hundreds of men who were once at Oregon State Correctional Institution. (O.S.C.I. is an institution for young, first time offenders.) The treat ment at this institution is similar to the treatment at the main prison. In the Civil Rights Act lawsuit against O.S.C.I. there are three plaintiff-prison ers and five staff defendants. Some of the defendants, as in the lawsuit against O.S.P.. are the same who rehabilitated Gary Gilmore. A few of the same methods used follow. Paragraph 4 . .Guards have grabbed, punched and choked inmates." Paragraph 5. "Inmates in Unit 5 (punishment unit) are frequently strip ped of all their clothing and bedding for substantial periods of times. . .” Paragraph 6. “Plaintiffs claim that psychological torment is a constant prac- a lice of defendants. Guards frequently * make demeaning and offensive state ments to prisoners. , .“ Paragraph 33. “Unit 5 inmates. . .are strapped. . .to the bars of cells in Section One for hours at a time. Leather straps are wrapped around an inmates ankles, wrists, and waist and are secured to the bars of the cell. The inmate, stripped of all clothing, is left alone in this position often for several hours. During this time he is given neither food nor water. In addition, he is not allowed to use the toilet while he is strapped and, unclothed, has no alternative but to urinate on the floor. . ." In the MacLaren lawsuit are eleven plaintiff prisoners and three staff-defen dants. The allegations of the minors are much the same as the ones of the adults. Paragraph 13 “. . .imposing on Plain tiffs corporal punishments and other severe sanctions arbitrarily and without notice of hearing; imposing group punish ments for individual offenses; imposing harsh punishments, revocation of parole and inter institutional transfers without a hearing that adequately protects Plain tiffs' due process rights; interfering with Plaintiffs efforts to exercise their due process rights, imposing on Plaintiffs involuntary servitude; forcing atten dance at evangelical religious services." Paragraph 14. “Defendants impose harsh and brutal punishments on Plain tiffs. . .These punishments include a) macing; b) beatings and other types of assault including kicking, choking, shov ing. . .; cl drugging. . .(causing) fainting, insomnia, dizziness, dehydration, as saultiveness. temporary paralysis, park insonism, depression, euphoria, neurosis, delusions, and hallucinations. These drugs are administered as punishment and as a 'chemical straightjacket’; d) depriving Plaintiffs confined in isolation cells. . .of adequate food. . .of bathroom facilities, forcing them to urinate out windows or on the floor; e) restricting visitation rights of Plaintiffs; f) conduct ing frequent individual or group searches . . .in the presence of female staff." One prisoner who is at O.S.P. and has been subjected to the treatment de- scribed in the lawsuit against the Peni tentiary has also been at Oregon State Correctional Institution and MacLaren. He says conditions at O.S.C.I. and Mac Ijaren have not changed. He was subjected to the same treatment at those two institutions. The lawsuits against the three penal institutions in Oregon challenge the qua lily of prison life. It has often been said that the penal system in America is a ¿failure. The biggest cause of this failure / is the actions of an unregulated staff. These lawsuits attempt to exercise some regulation on that staff.
