They were very Dr. anxious to have me know, Gillespie commented. Their patients were also committed. After interviews with 60 patients, who often sat in busy waiting rooms, Dr. Gillespie said: I did not find one unhappy patient. Some of the relatives were unhappy with what was being done, however. Usual'y Over 40 Besides trusting the quacks, the patients, who were usually older than 40 and poorly educated, believed in the quacks incredible remedies. In great detail. Dr. Gillespies study lays out the quacks techniques and related the sociologist conversations with the practitioners. The concepts include: Energy levels. This concept operates on the rationale that all living matter is full of energy. Energy produces vibrations which can be read using an instrument called the Cosmic Vibrations Detector, a pendulum held in the thumb and first finger. Quacks also believe cells contain certain colors. When the body is ill, it is because of a color loss. The color can be restored using prisms or special broadcasting machines. Some Feel Feet of Use the feet. This technique is tied to the belief that all nerve endings are connected and end up in the feet. The quack said he diagnoses by feeling the feet. You dont need to tell me what is wrong will tell you. The nerve endings speak for themselves, one man told Dr. Gillespie. Use of the eyes. The quack said he determines the problem by reading the markings and signs in the iris.

They believe that they should have control over their own body, that they should have ine right to choose w'ho they go to, whether hes medical or anybody else, licensed or unlicensed, he said. Mostly Mormons The sociologist turned an unanticipated aspect to quackery, however. He found most quacks and their patients are Mormons. This discovery has been the best publicized section of Dr. Gillespies report. A Mormon himself, Dr. Gillespie said he feels badly that some have put him in the position of Gillespie versus the Mormon Church. 1 . West Jordan BIKERS VIteenage FASTI...

It is on that additional usage above the minimum that the council is considering a rate increase. No new rates have been adopted yet. Mayor Burton said.

"I found they didnt even want to be associated with the medical profession. They did not want to be licensed as a medical practitioner, he said. Another interesting aspect of Dr. Gillespies research is the comparison of his visits as a patient to a quack versus to a medical doctor. He claimed the quacks seemed more concerned about his feelings, allowing him to retain his dignity as a patient and a person. He said he thinks a main ingredient to the quack's success with patients is that they satisfy the patients need for social interaction with the healer. "I think many times doctors by their mannerisms the busy, brusque treatment they give drive patients away." he commented. The e out-sid- Continued From Page B- -l costs could triple over a period. The state retirement system includes not only state employes, but those in public education, with city and county governments, and those in special service districts. On July 1. the contribution rate will go up by 1 .05 per cent for both employe and employer so that the government agency or school district will be paying 13.15 per cent of salaries for retirement benefits and employes will contribute 3.15 per cent of their salaries. With a $25,000 state appropriation, the study was assigned to the joint Intergovernmental Relations Committee, which, in turn, formed the retirement subcommittee. The panel contracted with Robert E. Wilcox, Alpine, Utah County, an independent actuary to several retirement plans, to act as its consultant. Sen. Snow said projections supplied the subcommittee so far by the actuarial consultant dont fully match up with those provided by the fiscal analysts office, subtantially because spouses benefits from Social Security arent considered. There are indications, however, Sen. Snow said, that retirees who were on the lowest income scale could retire with more disposable income than when working because, as the legislative analyst pointed out, the Social Security system is heavily weighted toward low income workers. JGHNHQIMS , &' ' ;;v , : ... y :.S .V v Dr. Gillespie called quack "a very stigmatizing label." If it were defined legally and attached to anyone convicted of using unproven health practices, it might reduce quackery, he said. "If we want to stop the behavior, lets call it what it is. I dont know any person who would go to a quack. But 1 know a lot of people who will go to these practitioners because they have different names, and they have not been labeled as quack yet, he commented. Tell Us Who If the state is going to talk alxiut quacks and we do have quacks, then tell us who they are. Call them the quacks and publicize it, sociologist declared. And, before any decisions are firmed about the states role in fighting quackery, the idea that the ultimate responsibility in combatting quackery rests with the patient should be considered, Dr. Gillespie said. I think its time to put the responsibility back upon the consumer for his medical care, he said. . :S: i' r ' , '''-if- W ' l T ' K & - - 5 AT, s I , t jiwr.l' V: .k.S Tribune scholastic achievement plaques ready for joint review.

The quacks rationale for their practice often focused on their Mormonism, Dr. Gillespie explained. The sociologist said he believes the quacks base their rationale on their ow n interpretation of church teachings that the natural means of healing are best. When Dr. Gillespie attended an (he refused to name the location) seminar set up to teach the different techniques used by quacks, he discovered that all participants except two were Mormons. The seminar also boasted an ojenirig and closing prayer, a discourse on the Wfird of Wisdom and reported endorsements by Mormon leaders (although some people use the leaders names, it doesnt necessarily mean they (the leaders) endorse them). Unsuccessful Try The sociologist tried unsuccessfully to secure a quackery statement lroni church leaders and the individuals whose endorsements were quoted by the quacks. However, shortly after Dr. Gillespie's report was released, the church made its stand clear in a Church News editorial. It said: The Church, of course, deplores the patronage of health or medical practices which might be considered ethically or legally questionable. People with serious illnesses should consult competent physicians, licensed under the laws of the land to practice medicine." The editorials also said .our belief in the divine power of healing should in no way preclude seeking competent medical assistance. The church's editorial also mentioned that many eminent physi find it anywhere.

Speaking at the banquet meeting Saturday night at the 22nd annual Utah Air Force Assn, convention at Treasure Mountain Inn, Gen. Douglas said that he feels if the people of the nation were properly informed of the threat facing the nation, they would react to correct it. Earlier in the day during the convention, hosted by the Salt Lake Chapter of the association, new state officers were elected. They are: Col. Leigh H.

Generally, to me, said Sen. Snow, I view the state retiieiiiciit system as in a sound actuarial position. And if there w'ere to lie some benefit adjustment in the future, I believe it would be relatively minor and of no great cost savings. The subcommittee balked at endorsing the concept of giving notice of state withdrawal from the Social Security system for a variety of reasons, including the belief that such notice would create great fear of potential loss of benefits among employes . (and) could create a snowball eftect among local governments. Largely due to financial pressures on stale and local governments, with inflation and higher social security costs, many jurisdictions have begun to continued participation. Questions raised alxiut long term solvency of the system have added pressure. New York City, seeking cures to its financial ills, gave the Social Security Administration last year the required r advance notice to withdraw. At any time during that period a government jurisdiction can reverse its decision and rescind its notice of withdrawal. . day-lon- ROTC program is Officer Candidate Dennis Calvin Claes, a mathematics major.
