through the school's affiliation with
Pordand Community College.
The Jefferson Dancers repertoire
includes over 70 works of tap, ballet,
jazz, modem, ethnic and musical the
atre dance pieces. Ten to twenty works
are active for any season, including
internationally renow ned and w ard

z n rt i- in iii/. i C a m o v n o l o f Providence Medical Center Valet Parking Service.
BY PROF MCKINLEY BURT
W hat frenzied space is it that for
eight hours a day, five days a week
resem bles nothing so much as the
hyperactive area in front of a B road

hoopla o f searchlights and the flash

service] is there, all carefully orga

provided by the sophisticated but

A modern hospital complex re
quires an external traffic control just as
sophisticated in its im plementation as
such internal systems as the delivery of
medical care or the operation o f com
plex building services from heating to
air conditioning. In the particular case,
this writer, a former volunteer and pa
tient at the center, can speak directly to
this point. The Valet Parking Service
was implemented about three years ago
and is one of a num ber of important
support services added in parallel to a
constandy expanding, health care d e
livery system for our community.
Interestingly, Providence M edical
Center was the pioneer in the region for
this particular amenity and the other
hospital providing this service in the
Portland area consulted Providence
before selling up its own program. V a
