HERE'S ONE COLLEGE MEMORY
WE LL HELP YOU FORGET.
ftthe
by Kevin Thong;;
If you’re like a lot of people, your longest-lasting memory of college is
the student loan you’re still paying back. The Army has a solution, though: qualify,
sign up with us, and we’ll sign off on your loan.
Each year you serve as a soldier, the Army will reduce your college debt by 1/3
or $1,500, whichever amount is greater. So after serving just 3 years, your government
loan could be completely paid off.
You’re eligible for this program if you have a National Direct Student Loan,
or a Guaranteed Student Loan, or a Federally Insured Student Loan made after Oct
ober 1, 1975. The loan must not be in default.
Get a clean slate, by erasing your college debt. Take advantage of the Army’s
Loan Repayment Program. Your local Recruiter can tell you if you qualify.

Despite the shortcomings, how
ever, it was a First for Dallas and Dal
las County.
Operated by Parkland and the
University of Texas Health Science
Center’s Southwestern Medical
School, the center became First in
several areas of research and devel
opment and patient care over the
years.
Dr. Charles Baxter, the center’s
First director and now its research di
rector, says his staff had no idea the
center would grow and become a
leader in regional burn-care centers.
“We’ve come a long way and we
have a long way to go,” Baxter said.
“All we did is take care of what
ever came in. You don’t try to get
larger.”
Twenty-five years ago doctors
were chartering unknown methods,
learning as they went and hoping
new techniques would extend the life
of someone caught in a fire or
burned in an explosion.
Dr. William Curreri, a former
University faculty member and now
chairman of the University of South
ern Alabama department of Surgery
said, “I don’t think it was unusual 25
years ago for a patient to be brought
into a hospital and the curtains
drawn around him and he was left to
die.
“It was so overwhelming to the
hospitals.”
At the time, people who suffered
burns on 45 percent of their body
had only a 50-percent chance of sur
viving.
Col. Basil Pruitt Jr., commander
and director of the U.S. Army Insti
tute of Surgical Research at Brooke
Army Medical Center in Fort Sam
Houston said now, thanks to re
search at Parkland and other hospi
tals, the chance for survival is
higher.
Pruitt, who addressed a recent
25th anniversary seminar at Park
land, said his staff works closely with
the Dallas center.
Baxter said university doctors in
the past 25 years developed a fluid
resuscitation formula now used in
most hospitals; topical antibacterial
agents for the control of infections; a
care
“We’ve come a long way
and we have a long way to
go. All we did is take
of whatever came in.
— Charles Baxter,
search director of the
burn center at Parkland
Memorial Hospital

Today, the hospital has two units
with 34 beds that can meet the needs
of more than 450 patients a year.
Many are in critical or serious con
dition with burns covering more
than 20 to 25 percent of their bodies.
Fourteen of the beds are strictly
for intensive care patients; the rest
are in the acute burn unit.
