Like many other Texas A&M Uni
versity students, Helene Christen
sen left her home with high hopes of
becoming a veterinarian.
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.

six-hour exam at the end of the
semester,” she said. “A 2.7 grade
point average is considered Cum
Laude.”
Presently, Christensen has a 3.4
grade point ratio.
If Christensen does practice vet
erinary medicine in Norway, she will
most likely be em
ernment, since there is
private practice in Europe.

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.

He said his bill would require cer
tain health standards, record
keeping, a one-day waiting period
before the abortion is performed,
counseling services, and that only a
physician may perform an abortion.
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

JACKSON, Miss. — A prisoner
awaiting transfer to the Texarkana
Federal Prison Wednesday filed a
$180,000 damage suit in a U.S. Dis

he became ill while being held in the
jail and was denied medical attention
for 15 days and could not buy medi
