Health Center
useful to all
on LU campus
By HOLLY RICHIE
UP staff writer
One of the most practical and
useful resources on campus is the
Health Center.
It is used by many students and
sometimes faculty in case of
emergencies pertaining to health
problems.
Two doctors and one nurse practi-
tioner make up the team for ex-
aminations. Also there are several
nurses on duty.
One of the doctors, Dr. Craig
Lawson, is a newcomer to the
Lamar campus. After working here
one month, Dr. Lawson says, “It’s
nice for a change.” He recently com-
pleted his residency at St. Mary
Hospital in Port Arthur.
Dr. LuLu Smith is the new director
of the Health Center, having come to
Lamar in June after closing her
private practice in Beaumont. “She
is making new provisions and ar-
rangments,” Dr. Lawson said. Dr.
Smith is arranging a new schedule
for the nurses who are on duty from
day to day.
The nurse practitioner, Dolores
Jones, provides care for students
when Dr. Lawson and Dr. Smith are
out.
According to Dr. Lawson, the doc-
tors’ hours are usually from 8 a.m.
until noon and from 2 p.m. until 4
p.m.
Students are required to pay for
their prescriptions and other
medicines that are prescribed by the
doctors. However, the medicine that
students receive from the Phar-
macy, located in the Health Center,
is provided to them at wholesale
cost. Prescriptions that are filled at
the Pharmacy cost the student about
one-third what the prescription
would cost if it were filled at an off-
campus pharmacy, according to
Health Center personnel.
Students are required to pay for
certain tests, such as pregnancy
tests and blood work. A lab will open
at the center this fall. This will be a
new service to students and will
speed up medical examinations
given by the doctors.
The Campus Health Center is
available to all students. After 9
p.m. all calls to the center must be
made to security, and further
assistance will follow.
UP Profile-
Cherry makes parking pleasant
By DAVID DIAZ
UP staff writer
At one time or another while atten-
ding T-nmnr University you will have
■the opportunity to meet Kathym
'Cherry.
Cherry is the supervisor of the
Parking Office, a place every stu-
dent and faculty and staff member
visits a time or two.
“I see this office as an office of
service,” Cherry said. “We like to
think we make parking a car as plea-
sant as possible.”
Cherry manages nine student
assistants, six of whom process
parking tickets.
The most common violation in-
volves freshmen, sophomore and
junior students who park in the “A”
lot which is designated for senior
student parking, Cherry said.
Parking offenses fall into one of
two categories: city violations or
campus violations. City violations
are handled by Beaumont’s
Municipal Court, while Cherry’s of-
fice processes campus parking of-
fenses.
Violators of campus parking
policies have five school days to pay
fines. Penalties for outstanding fines
range from placing students’
records on hold during registration
to withholding a student’s
transcripts prior to graduation.
If a student feels he has a
legitimate reason for violating a
parking rule, Cherry said there are
recourses available such as the Stu-
dent Traffic Court, which she
believes is objective and fair in its
rulings.
“A person has a right to be angry
if he is right,” Cherry said. “I never
lose my temper with students. There
is always a way to work things out.”
Cherry turned 65 this month and
said she hopes to continue working
for Lamar until she retires.
“This job is very therapeutic to
me,” she said. “I enjoy the students
and I enjoy being on campus.”
In addition to her many duties,
Cherry manages to find time for her

equally varied hobbies which in-
clude interior design and art. She
also plans to continue her education
by enrolling in some literature
classes in the fall.
Cherry received her bachelor’s
degree in home economics from
T -amar in 1982 while working for the
Parking Office.
Her late husband, Dr. Lloyd
Cherry, was the dean of the College
of Engineering. They have a son,
Frank, who is pursuing a career as
an actor in Los Angeles.

Oarrell Bean of Spring, isn’t modeling the latest in dog
collars, left. Rather, the bucket around his neck is of
the common “mop” variety. An injury in a fight with a
GenriaA Shepherd left George needing stitches to close
a wound. Two days after being stitched, George had
chewed- the sutures apart. A second attempt at stit-
ching the wound'had the same result, so Dr. Willie
Janik of Treaschwig Veterinary Clinic, rigged a plastic
bucket as a muzzle. George wore the bucket two mon-
ths. “George was the talk of the block,” Pam Bean
said. “All the kids kept coming to my door, saying,
‘Can we come look at the dog with the bucket head. ’ ”
