Unlike most of her classmates, the 21-year-old biomedical science major had to cross the Atlantic to get here from her home town of Oslo, Norway. Also unlike most classmates she’d have to wait five years if she wants to go to the school here. She is one of only five Norwegian students attending Texas A&M. To be accepted as a veterinary student at Texas A&M one must be a United States citizen. Among other things, that requires residence in the United States for five years. A one-year Texas residency also is required. To be considered for veterinary school in Norway, a student must spend one year working on a farm taking care of livestock, Christensen said. Even though she had worked summers helping veterinarians in Norway, she lacked the necessary experience of working on a farm. Christensen came to Texas in the better chance in applying to veteri nary school. “Texas A&M has a very good repu tation in veterinary medicine,” said Christensen, “even in Norway and Germany. ” Christensen went to the Univer sity of Texas at Arlington for three semesters while improving her command of English. She took a special curriculum de signed for pre-veterinary majors and attended Texas A&M during the summer sessions. Once here, however, Christensen discovered the five-year obstacle to her plans. Undaunted, she wrote the school in Norway and re-applied, hoping her extra training would be an advan tage. But when the reply came from Norway, she found her extra training ‘advantage’ was too much of one, un fortunately. The school of veterinary medicine in Norway said it considered her too advanced for their second and third year students, and they don’t accept students after their third year. Christensen said she is not giving up yet. “There are three veterinary schools in Germany and one in Swit zerland I’ve already applied to,” she said. Christensen also said she had no real trouble adjusting to college life in the United States and if anything she found it easier. “In Europe, you just have one big Norwegian pre-veterinary medicine student Helen Christensen and friend.

If Christensen does practice vet erinary medicine in Norway, she will most likely be em ernment, since there is private practice in Europe. Bills would fill "great void’ Abortion regulation debat oras li &M e; ema the ; Ag con! “We ( ope to hand11 rery g, ennani o tonu “Will United Press International AUSTIN — Describing current bills to regulate abortions as “op pressive” and “guilt-ridden,” oppo nents contend women will be robbed of their right to choose abortion over an unwanted pregnancy. But the sponsor of one of the bills, Rep. Bill Ceverha, D-Richardson, said his legislation simply regulates facilities where abortions are per formed. FRI.-SAT.

The bill also would allow abortions only with “informed consent” — in cluding notification of the husband that his wife plans to have an abor tion or notification of a minor’s par ents that their daughter intends to have one. “Abortion is being conducted in a medically unorthodox and unsafe manner,” Ceverha told the House Health Services Committee. “I as a husband and father feel like I should be given as much informa tion, and have as much at stake as the mother, my wife does,” he added. Proponents said regulation was badly needed to control unsafe health practices in the “abortion in dustry. ” “What is at issue here is perhaps the greatest threat to the health of women in Texas in this century,” said Jack Ayres, a Dallas attorney who is representing several women in lawsuits against abortion clinics. “There is a great void in Texas law in representing abortion restric tions.” Ayres said abortion referral serv ices receive kickbacks from clinics, and send patients to clinics according to their finanicial capabilities — with wealthy patients being sent to cer tain clinics, and the poor being sent <to others. “All these women are urged to ias lii ietp I y oursi The N ggies £ Fconli RAint procure an abortion beta® ^ T1 where the profits come abortion mill.” “The only regulation today in Texas is profits, added after describing til practices that he said occur clinics and deaths and il b did which have resulted. -cord a Another abortion bill, byl imT Brown Jr., D-San Antonio,gainst prohibit state funds fromkirtugher to pay for abortions, inclui “He 1 stricting hospitals which] ffh state subsidies from perl) id lost abortions. llan R “Our concern is that tan een jail should not be spent to human life,” said the Rev Holbrook, a Baptist minisi defended the bill.
