Inc. If cancer Is found, patient*
can then be treated locally
or referred to a treatment cen-
ter
"Early detection Is still the
key to Ucklnc cancer," Dr.
Wharton says. "Many common
cancers can be detected by a
physical examination or a Pap
smear and we can cure by far
the greatest number of them."
Most of the nurses' train-
ing is conducted by M.D. An-
derson during an Intensive
three-week course. In that short
time the nurses are exposed to
a phenomenal amount of In-
formation about cancer de-
tection. They see not only
a large number at patients who
have cancer, but an equally
large number who do not.
Training sessions are
planned and supervised by Linda
White, R.N., who Is aided by
four Instructors. Classes are
kept small so that most In-
struction can be done on a one-
to-one basis.
The nurses rotate through
Anderson's gynecology, breast
and head and neck clinics where
they are taught to perform dla-
fhey are taught to perform
diagnostic procedures such as
Pap smears, how to examine
the breast, pelvic and lymph
nodes, and how to teach pa-
tients to do breast self-exam-
inations.
In addition, they spend time
observing procedures such as
radiotherapy and chemotherapy
so that they will understand how
patients feel who undergo those
type of treatments.
The nurses also examine pa-
tients who have not been diag-
nosed as having cancer at the
City at Houston Health depart-
ment's venereal disease clinic.
They also rotate through the
Breast Cancer Detection Center
of St. Joseph's hospital to see
how a major screening program
Is run.
"Before I took this program
I wouldn't have had a reason to
look for cancer and wouldn't
have known It if I'd fallen over
Hi" graduate Marilyn Millar,
r!n., said recently.
As the core nurse for Reglm
6 of the Texas Department of
Healt*, Millar heads a team
at nursing personnel and as-
sistants that sees 45 to 50
patients a day. The team does
everything from Immunisations
to tuberculosis screening.
Screening for cancer was added
when Millar completed the
cancer detection program last
July.
"The program is necessary
because doctors so often Just
don't have the time to do can-
cer screening," Millar said.
A licensed vocational nurse
working for private practice
physicians in Port Arthur, Mel-
ba Ownsby now screens patients
for cancer before they are seen
by the physicans.
"I give all female patients
breast examinations and teach
them how to do breast self-
examinations, as well as do all
of the Pap smears," she says.
"The women are very glad
to have another woman there
to do the exam."
Ownsby says the total cancer
screening exam takes about 45
minutes. "It's time-consuming
to give that good of an exam,'
she says, "but now while I'm
doing that the doctor can see
other patients. We are find-
ing a lot of cancer, especial-
ly breast cancer and cervical
cancer and quite a few pre-
cancerous conditions."
Nurses interested In the Can-
cer Detection and Screening
program should contact Dr.
Wharton at (713) 792-3427.

Mary's street address, when,
suddenly and without provoca-
tion the three men started strik-
ing him with their fists, raining
blows on his fac. and body from
the front and back.
After the trio had fled, John-

his brown wallet which he said
contained $200 cash, and sev-

He could not determine, how-
ever, whether the wallet had
been lost during the fight or
stolen.
No arrests had been made at
mid-week.

In the extension of credit.
Assistant Attorney General
Drew S. Days, IH, head of the
Civil Rights division, slad the
suit was the first filed by the
Justice department to enforce
the act, which was amended in
1976 to allow the attorney gen-
eral to file suits. That provi-
sion became effective In March,
1977.
The suit said the corporations
have refused to sell housing to
blacks, discouraged blacks
from buying housing, refused
to make loans to blacks, and
refused to give blacks credit
Information.
The suit also charged that the
corporations have violated a
1972 conciliation agreement
with the Department of Housing
and Urban Development to re-
frain from practicing racial
discrimination in the sale of
residential property.
The suit asked for a court
order enjoining the corpor-
ations from violating the Fair
Housing and Equal Credit Op-
portunity acts and requiring
them to correc t the continuing
effects of their alleged discrim-
inatory housing and credit prac-
tices.

By: LOU NELLE SUTTON
State Representative
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The opin-
ions in this column are those
of writer Rep. Lou Nelle Sut-
ton , and do not necessarily
reflect the opinions of San An-
tonio Register).
The U.S. Supreme Court
should be coming down with an
opinion In the famous Bakke
case before long. That's the
case where the State Supreme
Court of California "outlawed"
a minority quota for Incoming
medical students based on race
among other things.
A California university pro-
fessor by the name of Paul
Goodman has recently come up
with some Information which
he says should cause the Bakke
case to be re-consldered bythe
California Supreme court.
These are some of the things
Professor Goodman contends:
1. The Unlverlsty of Califor-
nia Davis Medical Center has
.never admitted a black student
under Its regular admissions
program. There have been
totally qualified black students.
Professor Goodman says, who
have applied to go to the Davis
medical school. That Is, they
would have been qualified under
the regular admissions pro-
gram just like any other stu-
dent, white, black, brown, or
whatever. But when a qualified
black does apply and when he Is
admitted he or she Is taken
In on an "affirmative action"
program. Thus, a foreign black
basis. Tills uses up the quota
set aside for disadvantaged
blacks.
2. Professor Goodman also
contends that the Medical School
falsified Its records to Include
foreign black students as part
of Its "affirmative action "pro-
gram. Thus, a foreign black
student Is used to fill up the
quota set aside for disadvan-
taged American black students
If the professor Is correct.
3. The professor contends
that special favors on admis-
sions are being given to sons of
prominent medical doctors,
dentist, and people In polit-
ical life.
Earlier the State Supreme
Court of California indicated
that, had It known of a pat-

tern of discrimination against
blacks solely because they are
black that Its decision might
have come out differently. Pro-
fessor Goodman claims that
he has discovered and es-
tablished such a pattern of dis-
crimination.
Up until about te n years
after World War II, at least as
to law schools, white students
could get admitted with lower
grades and without the sc-
called I.Q. Today it Is virtually
all grades and I.Q. with little
or no Inquiry Into the motivation
of the student, black, brown or
white.
Colleges be they medical,
dental, legal or of whatever
speciality ought to Inquire Into
the motivation of a student.
What good is it to have a stu-
dent, black or white, In a
medical or law school whose
only or main purpose in life Is
to make money?
Remember the late Gus Gar-
cia for whom there Is a high
school named on the West Side?
Mr. Garcia could have made all
the money In the world, but he
went Into the Mexican-
American ghettos and, borrow-
ing from the earlier work of
Thurgood Marshall, helped
change the face of Texas. For
that matter take Mr. Justice
Thurgood Marshall now on the
U.S. Supreme Court. Judge
Marshall never made any big
money out of the law. When
both he and my husband,
G.J., were young men, Mar-
shall would come to Texas,
spend the night In a segre-
gated motel (he couldn't get
a room at the St. Anthony or
Menger then) and G.J. and
others would meet with him
late into the night planning yet
another court fight. G.J. told
me that sometimes Judge Mar-
shall was so broke they had
to pass around the hat to pay
for the night's lodging, food,
and have enough money to travel
to the next city.
TTiere's nothing wrong with
money, but my point Is that there
are things In addition to money.
So as the time arrives for the
Bakkee decision to come down
(which could be a nightmare)
we need to be ready. We need
young black doctors and young
black lawyers, male and female,
who are entitled to make a good
living, but who will, like Thur
good Marshall, want a betters-
America. And I mean a better
America for all people. You
see, there Is an emerging' 'mid-
dle class" black American, but
the concern must not end there.
The poorest of the poor are
our brothers and sisters indeed,
like Martin Luther King said,
they need hope the most, and
they need victories more than
anyone else.
