UNIVERSITY PRESS April 25,1975*4
Male students sought for careers in health
Wanted: more men for nursing
careers.
What happens to all the men trained
in the armed services as Navy corps-
men and Army medics?
Dean Dr. Betty Jo Hadley, College of
Health Sciences, Lamar University,
emphasizes that Lamar wants to in-
terest men as well as women in taking
up nursing careers.
In an interview, she said men were
needed in the field and she wants to
by-pass nursing careers.
With one in seven persons in this
nation involved in health care delivery,
she says it’s one field that hasn’t known
the boom-bust cycles of over-supply.
When a student graduates, there’s a job
waiting, she added.
Lamar University, in the fall of 1976,
will begin offering its Bachelor of
Science degree in nursing.
She says one-fourth of the incoming
students she counsels are men and
she’s glad to see the trend.
Currently men are enrolled at Lamar
in the Licensed Vocational Nursing and
Associate Degree Nursing programs.
Dean Hadley tells more about the
programs:
“One of the things that we are going
to emphasize is calculated career coun-
seling. Because we have the three
programs leading to careers in nursing
we can direct students to the program
in which they are most likely to succeed
with dignity.
This concept in no way precludes
career mobility. With direction a
student may proceed from the LVN to
the ADN program or the ADN program
to the baccalaureate program. But our
emphasis will be on helping students
realize their potentials and to set and
achieve realistic educational and
career goals for them,” Dean Hadley
declared.
She said the unique feature of the
program “that will help us accomplish
these objectives are that students can
enter and exist at various educational
levels from the nursing assistant cer-
tificate program through the bac-
calaureate program and at each level
the student will have the capacity for
making a significant contribution to the
health care of people in Southeast
Texas and for earning a living.
“In addition, for those students who
have had previous educational and
practice experiences in nursing there
will be ample opportunity to earn
college credit by examination.and thus
expedite their progress toward com-
pletion of the respective programs, par-
ticularly the ADN and the bac-
caulaureate.”
Dean Hadley points out:
In a survey of the six major hospitals
in the area, 123 registered nurses ex-
pressed interest in earning a bac-
calaureate degree.
In the same six hospitals, there were
65 RN vacancies. A total of 260 RN
positions were filled by lesser prepared
people such as graduate nurses and
licensed vocational nurses.
Dean Hadley said, “We are not
suggesting all the positions be filled by
baccalaureate nurses and for that
reason we’re going to strengthen the
output from our associate degree
oroeram.
“We are going to continue educating
Licensed Vocational Nurses and
Associate Degree Nurses.
While we speak of baccalaureate
nurses being prepared to assume
leadership positions we do not mean
solely head nursing, supervision,
teaching, etc. We see the baccalaureate
nurse as the assessor of the patient
needs, the designer of nursing care to
meet these needs and the guider or
coordinator of the associate degree and
licensed vocational nurse in the
provision of nursing care.”
Lamar University’s College of Health
Sciences educates nurses for public
health and school nursing, as well as
hospital nursing and occupational
nursing
Nine nurses teach in the LVN
program. Eleven nurses teach in the
Associate Degree Nursing program.
Dean Hadley is also a nurse. She
notes: “In 1976, with the beginning of
the BS program, we will add five more
nurses with master’s or doctoral
degrees.
By 1980, we would expect an ad-
ditional faculty of 19.”
She points out that in the Department
of Allied Health, there are career op-
portunities in medical technology, den-
tal hygiene, radiologic technology, and
respiratory technology.
“I would reiterate that not only are
men welcome, they are encouraged to
seek careers in health fields.”

New degrees added in music, finance, nursing fields
by Cindy Williams
New degree programs in four areas of
study have been approved by the State
Coordinating Board, Texas College and
University System.
Degrees include a Master of Music
and Master of Music Education, a
Master of Science in home economics, a
Bachelor of Business Administration,
in finance, and a Bachelor of Science in
nursing.
The home economics degree, ac-
cording to Dr. Dorothy McAllister, head
of home economics, allows for
specialization in the fields of food and
nutrition, textiles and clothing, or home
economics education. An M.S. in home
College of Business
proposes new major
A request for a major program in
finance by the College of Business has
been approved, according to C. D.
Kirksey, head of the department of
business administration.
The program is titled “'bachelor of
Business Administration-Finance.”
The intention is to provide a broad
education in the financial aspects of the
economy, thus qualifying the graduate
for a wide variety of positions in finan-
cial institutions and finance depart-
ments of business firms.
Four new courses are necessary in
the program. They are: Financial
Analysis (BA 3315), application of
analytical techniques to major finan-
cial management decision areas; and
Real Estate (BA 4305), a survey of real
estate principles and practices.
Also Financial Markets (BA 4306), a
study of the structure, behavior, and
economic logic of the money and
capital markets in the U. S.; and Finan-
cial Institutions (BA 4307), a survey of
the operating characteristics, sources
and uses of funds, and regulatory en-
vironment of the major financial in-
stitutions in the U. S. economy.
economics entails 30 hours and a thesis
or 36 hours.
The B.B.A. in finance is described by
Dr. C. D. Kirksey, head of business ad-
ministration, as a broad-based
education in financia4 aspects of
economy. This degree places more em-
phasis on finance than the General
Business Plan II.
Nancy Karen Taylor, senior
premedical student, has received an
honorable mention and a $200 cash
scholarship in the Phi Kappa Phi
National Fellowship competition.
The national office of Phi Kappa Phi,
honor society, annually awards 20
$3,000 fellowships for a first year of
graduate study and 20 honorable men-
tions with a cash award of $200. Each
Phi Kappa Phi chapter may nominate
one of its members.
Ms. Taylor is the fourth Lamar
student to receive national recognition.
Previous winners were Elba Baskin in
1966, $3,000 fellowship; Merri Gay Beat-
ty in 1967, $3,000 fellowship; and Ann
Blackwood, 1974, $200 honorable men-
tion.
Ms. Taylor will use the scholarship
during her first year at the Baylor
College of Medicine in Houston where
she has been accepted for fall
enrollment.
She is chairman of the student com-
mittee which will select the 1975 Phi
Kappa Phi Teaching Effectiveness
Award recipient at Lamar. In addition
The two music degrees will provide
for advanced studies in “all phases of
music” says Dr. George Parks, head of
the music department. The M. M.
requires 30 hours of study and a paper.
The B.S. in nursing is a four-year
program with two years of general
education and 2 years of professional
nursing education, according to Dr.
to membership in Phi Kappa Phi, Ms.
Taylor is a member of Cap and Gown,
senior women’s honor society; and is a
Leadership Lamar committee mem-
ber.
Prior to attending Lamar, Ms. Taylor
was a student at Rice University where
she was a National Merit Scholar
(Union Oil Scholarship) and was on the
President’s Honor Roll. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harris L.
Taylor of Beaumont.
