Jury may soon decide
fate of two FBI men
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Chief U.S.
District Judge William Bryant plan
ned to instruct a jury Wednesday so
it could begin deliberations in the
trial of two top FBI officials. They
allegedly broke the law in approving
break-ins in 1972 and 1973 to hunt
for fugitive members of the Weather
Underground.
W. Mark Felt, 67, and Edward S.
Miller, 56, the bureau’s former No. 2
and No. 3 men, are charged with
conspiring to commit civil rights
violations by approving break-ins —
known as “black bag jobs” — at the
New York and New Jersey homes of
five friends and relatives of the fugi
tive radicals.
The precedent-setting trial in
cluded testimony from Richard Nix
on, John Mitchell and Richard Klein-
dienst.
If convicted, Felt and Miller face a
maximum penalty of 10 years in pris
on and a $10,000 fine.
John W. Nields Jr., the govern
ment’s chief prosecutor, alleging the
break-ins violated Fourth Amend
ment protections against unreason
able searches, charged FBI officials
kept the practice secret because they
knew “from the top of their heads to
the bottom of their socks they were
doing something wrong.”
Nixon testified at the trial that he
gave authority to the FBI to conduct
break-ins in national security cases.

EL PASO — An upcoming U.S. government report is ex
pected to charge that an increasing number of students re
jected by American medical schools turn to substandard Carib
bean and Mexican institutions and eventually return to the
U.S. to become licensed physicians.
But a Texas Tech Regional Academic Health Center official
in El Paso said recently such studies should not have im
pugned the educational programs provided at many reputable
foreign medical schools.
Maria Elena Flood, Health Center administrator for person
nel and academic affairs, said, “We should not make state
ments that blanket all foreign medical schools along with those
that are, shall we say, ‘fly-by-night. ”
The congressional study found that one school was estab
lished in Cincinnati by a man whose son failed to qualify for an
American school. After two years of legal hassles in Ohio, the
school was moved to the Caribbean.
American students at the University of Juarez School of
Medicine, across the Rio Grande from El Paso, say classes
south of the border are harder than in comparable institutions
in the U.S. They deny their school is inferior in any way to
American facilities.
Catherine Warner, 28, received a bachelor’s degree from
the University of California at Davis and her master’s degree in
psychology from Purdue University.
“I am familiar with the standards at American schools, and I
can tell you that I’ve worked harder here at Juarez than at
either California or Purdue,” she said.
There are more than 100 foreign students — most of them
Americans — at the University of Juarez Medical School. The
"We should not make statements that
blanket all foreign medical schools
along with those that are, shall we say,
By-by-night
Association of American Medical Colleges estimates 1,000
Americans are studying in similar foreign schools.
“There is widespread fear among the nation’s doctors that
these people become second-class physicians,” said Dr. Au
gust Swanson, the AAMC’s director of academic affairs. He
said state medical boards are partly to blame, because their
examinations for would-be physicians fail to weed out poorly
trained candidates.
Swanson said American-trained doctors who take the state
tests routinely outscore students who complete their studies
south of the border.
But in El Paso, Dr. William Scragg, acting associate dean at
the Texas Tech facility, said U.S. residency programs require a
foreign-educated physician to pass an exam “that many Amer
ican physicians could not pass today.”
He said the tests effectively eliminate poorly educated
physicians from U.S. training programs.
The issue of poorly trained doctors was raised in Congress by
a General Accounting Office study that noted the number of
understaffed, under-equipped foreign medical schools cater
ing to Americans had increased over the past decade.
The study raised doubts about the quality of trainiriji
by newly opened schools on the tiny islands of Dj
Granada and Montserrat and in Mexico and the Dm
Republic.
Swanson said only a few of the schools provide A®
style training in which students become part of a meditj
treating the sick.
“The first real medical training these people from
bean and Mexico get is when they do their inter
residencies in American hospitals, ” Swanson said,
But Flood said a distinction should be made In
“phony” medical schools and those which p:
education.”
There are some Caribbean and Mexican schools I*
provide quality medical educations, she said.
The Texas Tech health center traditionally proviJs
graduate training to American-born physicians who it
foreign medical schools.
Last year about 30 percent of the center’s 65 resii
cians were educated at foreign medical schools.
These doctors, Flood said, were mostly Texas
Many of these physicians were educated in medical
Guadalajara, Monterey and Juarez.
To practice medicine in the United States, aphysiciiii
have been graduated from medical school—foreignor
tic — and must have completed a one-to-seven-year
training program.
Physicians enrolled in clinical programs are knowna|
dents. The Tech center also trains foreign-bom
with the expectation that they will return to their homii
tries, Flood said.

WASHINGTON — A presidential
advisory council is calling on the fed
eral government, which already does
lots of similar things, to get involved
in protecting students from sexual
harassment on campus.
A report entitled “Sexual Harass
ment of Students, ” issued by the Na
tional Advisory Council on Women’s
Educational Programs, says sexual
harassment on campus is illegal and
that the problem is serious enough to
compel federal involvement.
An example of sexual harassment
on campus: A professor makes a deal
with a student:“Sleep with me,” says
the professor, “and you won’t need
to worry about, a good grade in this
course.”
This is an extreme example, but
probers for the council say it does
happen.
As part of the study, the council
requested information from sexual
harassment victims and others who
knew of incidents.
A few institutions reported on
their procedures for handling the
problems.
The Congress-created council set
out over a year ago to examine ways
in which Uncle Sam can and should
assist in protecting students from
being sexually harassed by faculty,
staff or other employees of educa
tional institutions.
The report sorted the sexual
harassment reports into five categor
ies of activities perceived by victims.
These ranged from generalized sex
ist remarks or behavior to sexual
