Malpractice bill gets surgery United Press International AUSTIN — The state malpractice bill was so amended after Congres sional debate that doctors won most of what they wanted, a supporter called it ‘salvaged’ and the bill’s sponsor refused to vote for it. The bill was tentatively approved yesterday and is up for final Senate consideration today.

A. R. Schwartz, D-Galveston, who sponsored the measure but dis owned it after the amendments. “The Lord’s going to start wearing a stethescope. “The medical association — and I don’t blame them for trying to pump up their problem — would have the public believe that every doctor in Texas is paying $15,000 or more for his medical malpractice in surance. “The vast majority of doctors are being insured at not only reasonable rates in relation to their income but at a rate they can afford.” Sen. John Traeger, D-Seguin, ar gued for the doctor-favored amendments to the House bill, say ing the House plan was not good enough. “The H ouse has defaulted on malpractice,” Traeger said. “The Senate has got the only chance to save it.” Sen. Ray Farabee, D-Wichita Falls, said the doctor-favored amendments would result in reduc tions in malpractice insurance pre miums that physicians pay. Farabee won a 20-10 vote to limit pain and suffering awards to $100,000. The bill would allow a jury to award an injured patient up to $400,000 for economic loss. A doctor-favored amendment to reduce awards when patients re ceive social security or other bene fits was also watered down. The amendment now allows damages to be lowered by a judge only by the amount of insurance the person re ceived. Another proposal stipulated that doctors could pay malpractice awards of more than $100,000 in in stallments, with the trial judge mak ing the decision. Amendments that would have shortened the time span when 6- to 12-year-old children could file mal practice claims were tabled on close votes.

America in midst of bicycle boom m SKOKIE, Ill. (UPI) — America is having a bicycle explosion, accord ing to Rand McNally’s new “Backpacking and Outdoor Guide.” The recent bicycle boom has re sulted in nearly 100 million bikes taking to the roads. According to the book, the Wis consin bikeway was first in the United States to cross an entire state, but there are now thousands of miles of bicycle paths in every state on which riders can tour the open country. Students wishing to help should apply by Wednesday (April 20) in room 108, YMCA Building. Karen Dawn Switzer, student development coordinator, noted that the volunteers will have to at tend one of two programs, either April 26 or May 2, in which peer counselors will be trained in ways to serve the new students. Summer orientation sessions this year will be held May 26; June 2, 6, 9, 13, 16, 23, 27, 30; July 14, 18, 21; and Aug. 8 and 24. At each of the summer sessions, volunteers will spend three hours telling new students how to adapt to university life. Switzer said they will also conduct campus tours and explain social and educational op portunities at Texas A&M. Volunteers should have at least a 2.6 grade point ratio and be in volved in at least one extra curricular activity. GOING OUR WAY?
