12. PHARMACY IS TRAINING 'SOCIOPHARMACISTS'

    The College of Pharmacy is turning out graduates experienced in
sociopharmacy--the ability to function as professionals in comprehen-
sive, community health care and the new curriculum rapidly is becoming
a model for pharmacy schools in the nation, largely because it bridges
the gap between academic training and professional practice in real
life settings. Students are being exposed to hospital bed patients,
outpatients, patients in nursing homes, and their physicians, nurses
and dentists. The faculties of several other schools have visited
Lexington during the past year to learn more about the operation.
Dean Joseph V. Swintosky and other faculty members describe in recent
pharmaceutical publications how a patient-oriented attitude is being
developed in senior students duringthe clerkship training.  In 1969,
the clerkship course became a requirement for all students in their
third year. Explaining the new curriculum, Dr. Swintosky said, "This
higher attainment requires a better understanding of sickness and di3-
ease, of the machinery of the human body, of what is needed to make it
function and what can happen to make it malfunction."



13. ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT SURVEYING TRAFFIC PATTERNS

    A travel study, currently underway in the Department of Civil Engi-
neering, seeks to identify travel patternsof spectators to football
games. Such knowledge is essential in estimating future travel to and
from the new football stadium. The researchers hope to identify and
evaluate various methods for accommodating pedestrian and vehicular
traffic at the new stadium. Most of the data was gathered during the
Virginia Tech homecoming game on October 30. Each spectator was asked,
by means of a self-administered questionnaire, to identify the origin
and destination of his trips to and from the game and to state his
primary means of travel. A second questionnaire was distributed to a
sample of about 1500 spectators. Its primary purpose was to gather
data on parking, walking distances, and travel times for trips away
from the game. This questionnaire was to be returned by mail.



14. UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEES TOP UW GOAL

    Employees of the University exceeded the University's goal of
$55,000 in the United Way campaign by more than $1,000, Ernest F.
Witte, chairman of the campus drive, announced. The amount assigned
the University represented a six per cent increase over an amount
attained in the previous campaign. To date, Dr. Witte said, pledges
turned in amount to $55,113.09, with some areas reporting but not
tabulated. When these are counted, he added, "we will have gifts
totaling $56,000 or more from over 2,139 individual contributors."
Dr. Witte said that "although this is not a large goal for an organi-
zation of this size, it is a significant achievement since the Univer-
sity is one of a very few units to reach its 1972 goal as yet." He
said the "mop-up" would continue and he hopes to turn in a final re-
port in the next few weeks.
