In downtown Lhasa is a Tibetan hospital, started in 1916. It began with three doctors, three pharmacists and a small medical school with five teachers and 60 students. THE HOSPITAL now has 326 people employed there, 126 of whom are doctors and nurses. The hospital had an and facility with about 800 being treated per out-patie- day. HOSPITAL administrator told us the research department concentrated on the three most common aliments in Tibet; bronchitis, gastrology and paralysis. He also informed us that there were three A types of Tibetan medicine produced by the hospital pharmacy: plants (bark, seeds), mineral materials, (turquoise, gold, silver, copper, iron), animals (deer horns, 1 B.

It features such marvels as this palace of extraordinary dimensions that presents an imposing site. point and also from an linguistical point of view. THE PRIMARY' school in Tse Tang was opened in 1980. It currently employs 72 teachers who were educated at the Lhasa Teachers College. There are be- tween 9(H) and ,()(K) pupils enrolled in the school. Tibetan and Han Chinese children attend but are in segregated classes. The school is from first to fifth grade. The school is a year round school with a brief summer and winter vacation. A daily schedule will include the following; Han Chinese class courses: 1. Chinese language 2. math 3. English language 4. physical culture (P.E.) 5. painting Tibetan class courses: I. Tibetan language 2. drawing 3. English language 4. math 5. Physical culture. . animal hooves). The hospital pharmacy factory in the back of the hospital supplies Tibetan pills" to other parts of China, as well as Nepal and India, where Tibetans also live. Greathouse. The influence of monks (lamas) and particularly the Dalai Lama is highly evident. Unlike China and Mongolia, Tibetan monasteries are not museums but living temples where Buddhism is fervently practiced. Most obvious to the foreigner are the Yak butter candles that leave shoes sticky and noses with a lingering memory of the smell long after the visit. The smell of burning incense and wood is a constant part of monastery visiting. THE MONKEY caves of Tse Tang are unique and a reminder to the Tibetan people of their origin. Tse Tang is called the Monkeys Playground. There are many monkey caves in the mountains behind the town and there is a large statue of playing monkeys in the town square. According to a Tibetan legend, a monkey married a fairy and their children were born in these caves and were the ancestors of Tibetans. Many people today worship the monkey caves and this mountain. The legend is actively preserved through song, dance, monuments and literature. ANOTHER interesting experience I had in Tibet was the chance our touring group had to visit a commune. The communes have their own housing and schools with each person contributing in a specified and assigned role. Hard workers, the socia- consultation. THE TIBETAN doctors and pharmacists believe that mixing plant medicine and diagnosing correct prescriptions should be done by consulting the stars. Careful astrological consideration is given av to w hat season to cultivate pharmaceutical medicine and when to administer it. Many of the anatomy charts in the astrological department show various personified spiritsentering and leaving the body. One anatomical chart pictorally showed a spirit entering a fetus upon conception. Next, the mother giving birth in a barn the way many Tibetan women did in the past as well as today, believing it unclean to give birth. A MEDICAL university is affili- ated with the Lhasa hospital. It teaches people from all sectors of life such as monks, soldiers, etc. and technialong with phar- out-patie- nt ques were studied maceutical medicine. Most of what is studied is taught by Tibetan teachers and doctors and is designed to meet the specific health needs of Tibetans. There is an equal balance of male and female students. ALTHOUGH we were informed that barefoot doctors who travel from town to town meeting the needs of rural and isolated areas, it was obvious from my visits to various communes and rural towns that not all areas were receiving medical service. In a mountain town that was reached by crossing the Ya Lu Zang Bu River on a small boat and then traveling one hour in a cart pulled by a tractor in the Sang Yie Si Monastery, a sacred and liv- Pills are often made from herbs in Tibet, including this pharmacy in a hospital basement there. THE CHILDREN were charming. As my small group of fore- igners entered their classrooms for observation, they clapped their hands as a sign of respectful welcome. The school had one male and one female principal. THE CLASS load was around 30 pupils per classroom. The children recited aloud, in perfect unison, various songs, charts and language lessons. When the teacher calls for an answer, each student raises his hand from the elbow up, with the elbow stiffly balanced on the desk and always with the right arm. The teacher then calls on an individual student for the answer. I was amazed to see one fourth grade class taking an algebra test. An overall impression was one of good teacher control and good study habits on the part of the students. I VISITED a middle school for the performing arts in Lhasa. This was an alternative school for stuIt was the first of dents ages its kind in Tibet. The four categories that were taught in this school 13-1- included Tibetan opera, dance, song and folk instrument. We were treated to an exhibition of student performers from each category. In every category, something of cultural Tibet was performed. I was glad to see that the Tibetan language and folk culture was being preserved. TIBET IS a country rich in history and ancient religious practices that are still meaningful today. Shane Hamblin, Trevor C. Haycock, Heather S. Jones, Vicki C. Merrill, Jennifer Morgan, Stephen M.

Clinton Gains Aid On Water System CLINTON - Clinton was one of 18 Utah cities and towns that received a portion of over $10 million in low interest loans and credit enhancements from the Bureau of Public Water Supplies, part of the Utah Department of Health. -- CITY MANAGER Nolan Young stated the town received $714,400 for refurbishing of the communitys water systems. We had a water system with real pressure problems, and that has now been resolved. It not only hurt our abilities to serve our residents, but was completely stifling our growth, he said. THE PROBLEM reached a pinacle in the summer of 1983, when portions of the southeast section of Clinton had little or no water pressure. An extensive $1.4 million system was installed, and water from the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, which supplies the city, is now flowing without hindrance. The loan fund was made available by the 1983 state Legislature. In all, communities in 10 Utah counties received funding, with five cities in Utah County and three in Salt Lake County leading the pack, th Dont miss out...

THE LHASA department store (the only one in the city) is a sharp contrast to the fascinating bustle of the free market. It is owned and sanctioned by the Chinese government but the prices are set and consequently the store is rather bare and dirty. Many people just look and linger at the Western commodities such as radios and clothing, but some of all ages are making small purchases. Many Chinese soldiers frequent the store. I found the comparison of a free market and a department store, especially in a controlled area like Tibet, a fascinating example of not only free enterprise at odds with communism, but also how the Chinese are slowly, yet tediously trying to influence and control all areas of China, dmg.
