Zunker to Take
Plans Dual Research
Dr. Vernon Zunker is sche-
duled to take an official leave
of absence as student dean be-
ginning February 1, 1967 until
that date the following year.
The first segment in his dual
research during this leave will
be spent at the University of
Texas Medical School at Gal-
veston. He received a Post-
Doctoral Research Fellowship
from the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare to engage
in a study entitled, “Vocational
Rehibilitation Counseling through
group guidance”.
The research will be conducted
with a population of heart-dis-
eased patients at John Sealy Hos-
pital. Zunker proposes to«‘make
a contribution to this research
because of the great need in this
area today.”
During the second part of his
leave, he will serve an intern-
ship in clinical psychology under
the Division of Psychology, De-
partment of Neurology and Psy-
chiatry. Here Zunker will learn
to administer complete psycho-
logical, which are a battery of
tests, on individuals using pro-
jective and testing techniques.
His second purpose during this
internship is to learn psycho-
theraputic techniques.
“The internship will not only
qualify me to work with the
abnormal, but also to work with
the so-called normal,** explains

Prison was “home” for two
TLC students for three months
this summer. They were par-
ticipants in a program formally
entitled “Internship in Contem-
porary Corrections.”
Last spring Rev. Wilfred Sa-
ger, regional youth director for
TALC, brought to the TLC cam-
pus first news of the program
sponsored by the Texas Depart-
ment of Corrections and Sam
Houston State College.
Rev. Sager’s introduction
launched two TLC students on
and dventuresome, as well as
educational summer schooling at
Ramsey State Farm near Angle-
ton, Texas.
After competing against 30
other TLC male students who also
had applied, seniors Don Krae-
mer and Charles Rohloff survived
the faculty screening committee,
and their names were submitted
to Huntsville. After completing
By Jan Hanson
a state test, they were formally
accepted and enrolled officially
at Sam Houston State College.
The three month internship was
equivalent to nine hours of col-
lege credit in a sociology course
offered by SHSC. The two men
were required to write a five-
page paper each week, but no
formal classroom sessions were
held. According to Kraemer,
the purpose of the course or
program was to “get to know
the inmates and how they think—
hopefully to help them return to
society, the Freeworld.”
Kraemer and Rohloff were paid
$315 a month with room, board,
and uniforms at no expense.
The specific unit to which they
were assigned is one of 14 under
the Texas Department of Cor-
rections covering over 80,000
square acres and housing 12,750
inmates.

extended in order to complete
their degree programs and are
generally given an opportunity for
study and research in Asian or
Pacific countries as well as in
Hawaii. Scholarships provide for
transportation, tuition, room,
board, some books and incidental
expenses.
Through life at the Center, the
more than 600 students from 30
nations learn about different cul-
tures and often gain a deeper ap-
preciation of their own.
The University of Hawaii (en-
rollment nearly 19,000) has long
had an academic outlook toward
Asia and the Pacific—a natural
result of the multicultural heri-
tage of the 50th state.
The East-West Center was es-
tablished six years ago by the
United States Congress in co-
operation with the University. In
addition to providing educational
opportunities for graduate de-
gree candidates,the Center spon-
sors non-degree academic and
technical training programs. Still
another program brings leading
scholars of many countries to the
Center as specialists - in -
residence. A common goal of all
Center activity is creation of a
climate encouraging internation-
al understanding and good will.
Study, informal discussions and
intercultural activities offered by
the Center, the University and the
Honolulu community are all part
of what happens at the “Center
for Cultural and Technical In-
terchange between East and
West*’, the official name of the
Center.
Our students (1/3 Americans
to 2/3 Asians and Pacific Is-
landers) excel academically; e-
qually important, they also learn
to live and work with people of
vastly different cultures. Those
from the East speak English,
and all Americans must study an
Asian or Pacific language, but
their communication is much
more than talk. It generally be-
comes understanding. They take
it with them when they go home.
Students interested in working
toward an advanced degree while
taking part in this dialogue a-
mong cultures should contact the
dean of their college for addi-
tional information, or write to
the Director of Student Selec-
tion, East-West Center, 1777
East-West Road, Honolulu, Ha-
waii, 96822. Application deadline
for the June or September, 1967,
class is December 15, 1966.

Under the directorship of Dr.
George Beto, the prison system
changed to a Department of Cor-
rections about 1957. Instead of
the former prison confinement,
the present day department of-
fers extensive educational, re-
ligious, labor, and rehabilitative
programs.
At Ramsey, the equivalent of a
high school diplima, the General
Education Degree Certificate, is
offered as well as junior col-
lege level courses. A full-time
psychologist and full-time chap-
lain are also on the staff for
rehabilitative and religious pur-
poses.
Kraemer’s and RohlofPs spe-
cific duties mainly consisted of
preserving order and keeping se-
curity as officers of the halls
inside the housing units. They
also worked as outside picket
officers keeping watch inside the
towers.
The two additionally served in
the mail room censoring all mail
going to or coming from the
inmates. Both made ambulance
runs as a part of the medical
program. Rohloff worked espe^
cially with the psychology de-
partment. He attended AA meet-
ings and assisted with group
counseling. He also worked as a
recreational director.
Rohloff stresses the change
from the prison system to the
present Department of Correc-
tion's he sites the decreasing
number of escapes. “The dra-
matic reduction in escapes from
126 in 1947 to only five in 1964,
is due to better communications,
better fenced enclosures, more
attention to security, and greater
alertness on the part of the of-
ficers. Furthermore, and per-
haps that which best depicts the
basic philosophy behind the TDC,
the food is better, there is kinder
treatment, and more realistic
rehabilitative programs which
have lessened the desire to es-
cape. In answer to the question,
Has the new approach to cor-
rections been effective?— in
terms of escapes, yes.
“If we use as our criterion
the rate of recidivism, our an-
swer might also be yes. For
example, the Pre-Release Cen-
ters as the Harlem, Ferguson,
and Goree Units have the dual
purpose of assisting inmates with
the difficult transition from con-
finement to society and of of-
fering them practical knowledge
and instruction which is designed
to enable them to become pro-
ductive, law-abiding citizens.
These Pre-Release Centers have
benefited over 3,000 inmates
since the beginning of their pro-
gram in 1963 with only 4.3% re-
turning to prison. While this
extremely low recidivism rate
is not statistically valid because
of the short time the Pre-Re-
lease Program has been in ope-
ration, in comparison to the na-
tional rate of 30%, it is signi-
ficant.”
