It can travel to several parts of the body. While there is no completely reliable cure for all cancer, physicians are developing better tools for treating it. At first, X rays were used against malignant tumors. A disadvantage, however, was that they burned the patients skin. Then, about 16 years ago, cobalt radiation devices came into use. These machines caused fewer problems to the skin because they massed their peak amounts of energy beneath the skin surface. A device, the linear accelerator, is expecially useful in treattumors, those that lie ing "deep-seatefar beneath the skin in heavy patients or thick parts of the body. n Four Machines At the LDS Hospital Radiation Center, four radiation therapy machines, offering Tumor Institute at St. Mtk's Hospital. also has had its impact on medical education. A school of therapeutic technology has been established with the first r class graduating in June. A in radiation therapy residency program also has been instituted. The real According to Dr. Plenk, function of a radiation center of this type is not only to provide all modalities of radiation therapy but also to guide the patient and his referring physician to employ whatever type of treatment is best for the particular patient at a particular time. The cooperation of chemoth-erapist- s, surgeons in various specialties and internists has been of great impor-tencof the treat cancer. Two units are machines, 100,000 Other 300,000 volts, respectively. machines are a Cobalt capable of two million volts and an delivering linear accelerator. The units give the radiation therapist a wide choice of energy for any tumor. Costing $250,000 and requiring more than a year to install and prepare for use, the linear accelerator also is capaelectron ble of delivering a beam. There are only seven such machines now in use in the United States. Dr. Henry P. Plenk, chief of the Radiation Center, said the advantage of the electron beam is that it can produce an intense radiation field that dissipates rapidly. The beam can pentrate from four to five centimeters (about two inches) beneath the skin. y and it Patients Feel Nothing d that's spent center, an outgrowth The are used to a wide range of energies. Cancer patients lie under the linear accelerator's beam for approximately two minutes each time they are treated.

With the sparse population in the Intermountain Region, the need for additional centers (other than those at LDS and University hospitals) still is many years away.

Money Distribution The collector roads system program is set up for completion in 20 years, with an average annual allocation of about $6 million a year. But if a county or city can complete the construction on its part of the collector system before the 20 years is up, its share still will be available for the remainder of the period to finance new construction projects. Some $134,000 or three percent of the total $4,482,877 alloc;, ion for 1970 is set aside for administration of the collector system program. If the entire administrative three percent is not used, the remainder will be turned back to the state and, reallocated to the system next year. . Individual allocations to cities and .counties are determined in ratio to population (45 percent), road mileage (45 percent) and area (10 percent). Dt.

The committee, composed of thiee members representing cities, counties and the Utah Highway nient, finished working out the road system March, 1969. It was then turned over to the Technical Advisory Committee, to develop distribution of the money to each city and involved.

In announcing the associations decision to reaffirm the college's accreditation, Dr. Manfurd A. Shaw, president, said, We cert -- inly are very pleased and encouraged by this report." Dr. Shaw said a evaluation committee from the association visited the college at East early in April after the institution had submitted a report. The committee ini luued educators from six states, headed by Dr Byron F. of Willamette Doenges University, Salem, Die. Committee members, each a specialist in a particular field, evaluated the college's curricular offerings, faculty. ets of the school could be a model seven-memb- 1840-13t- sell-stud- y st, iff, financial position, housekeeping proceduiPs and talked with students and faculty members. Dr. Shaw later appeared before the commission at Lincoln City. Ore., to receive tlie committees report and answer questions. Every institution within the association is visited by an evaluation committee at least once within a period. Westminster, which has been fully ac-c- : r edited as a institution since 1914. was las visited in 1964. The committee complimented the college on 'lie mot.ile and dedication of its faculty and staff. If his were tiie only tos a completely successful elite then repot t said. "Westmirster prise, College could 'no a mode) to colleges of liberal aits throughout the country."
