First acupuncture clinic
in B-CS offers alternative
By Page Goodman
Reporter
The staff at the first acupuncture
clinic in Bryan-College Station com
bines Western medical knowledge
with the ancient Chinese art of acu
puncture, said Dannie Zhang, who
started the College Station clinic.
The China Acupuncture Clinic lo
cated at 505 University Dr. E.
opened Jan. 18.
Zhang said the acupuncture is
performed by her father. Dr. Dyer
Zhang, and by Dr. Dorothy Wang.
Dannie Zhang, a doctor from
Massachusetts General Hospital, di
agnoses most of the patients before
Wang or her father does the acu
puncture.
She said Dyer Zhang concentrates
on acupuncuture points on the body
and Wang on the facial points.
The doctors use the small acu
puncture needles to treat such ail
ments as the common cold, facial
palsy (paralysis of any voluntary
muscle), tonsilitis, irregular men
struation and migraines.
There are 361 acupuncture points
on the human body, she said.
“Acupuncture is not something
that is easily explained,” she said. “It
has been applied in China for over

cent success rate with quit
ting smoking (through
acupuncture). ”

ikt
2,000 years and has been passed
down from generation to genera
tion.”
Acupuncture is a safe, drug-free
process, she said, which is a different
sensation from getting a shot.
“It’s not like that at all,” Zhang
said. “There is very little pain. There
is a little sting at first, and then,
there might be a burning sensation.
The needle is not usually inserted
more than half of an inch.”
The needles are thrown away im
mediately after the proceedure, she
said.
Electrical-magnetic acupuncture
is also available. This method is done
without needles for people who are
afraid of them, she said. This is
called electrical-magnetic acupunc
ture.
“The stimulation is generated to
the body through electrodes which
are attached to the
points,” Zhang said.
The Work! Health Organi;
claims that there are at least 4
eases which can be treated
acupuncture, she said.
Many stress-related symptt
such as lower back pain or astral
neck, can be treated through >
puncture, Zhang said. Students
experience these from sitting
desk for long periods of time hj n
said.
“These symptoms can als
treated througn massage, whi
done at the clinic,” she said.
Besides treating disease
stress, acupuncture is used to
people stop smoking and to
weight, he said.
She said, “We have hadaJ
percent success rate with qtiil
smoking.”
The prices depend on the
dent’s problem, but the usualraiil
$35 for the first visit, $25forfol
ing visits and $50 for a full progf
for weight loss or to quit smoli
Zhang said.
“We felt College Station
good location,” she said. “Becaust
many people in this area are
miliar with acupuncture andH« ' be
ton is close.”
Proposal to have
English-only law
brings arguments
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Making
English the official language of
Texas Could jeopardize the educa
tion of non-English-speaking chil
dren and exclude their parents from
the election process, opponents say.
an English-only law could bar public
agencies such as fire departments
from requiring that bilingual dis
patchers be hired, a situation that
could result in tragedy for Spanish
speakers faced with an emergency.
But others say efforts to accom
modate non-English-speaking immi
grants slow their assimilation to
American society and hinder eco
nomic achievement.
Supporters of both sides clashed
Saturday during a seminar examin
ing education and the press, moder
ated by former CBS News President
Fred Friendly.
“Common language is the glue
that holds a society together,” Doug
Harlan, a San Antonio attorney,
said.
“I agree that we all need to master
English to advance socially and eco
nomically,” said Norma Cantu, asso
ciate counsel of the Mexican-Ameri-
can Legal Defense and Educational
Fund Inc. “I disagree strongly with
making it a law and an official lan
guage as much as I disagree with
having an official religion or an offi
cial color. To put it in the law is a
mockery of the Constitution.”
No special treatment is offered
Japanese or Germans who have not
yet learned English in public schools
or voting booths, C.A. Stubbs, presi
dent of a local taxpayers association,
said.
“I think it’s a detriment to them
blending into this society,” Stubbs
said.
At its most dangerous extreme,
Mayor Henry Cisneros speculated,
The seminar was one of two pre
sented Saturday during the San An
tonio Conference on Law, Crime,
Education and the Press. Sponsored
by the San Antonio Light and hosted
by the University of Texas at San
Antonio, the seminar was produced
by Friendly, director of the Colum
bia University Seminars on Media
and Society.
Friendly directed discussion
among 16 panelists, as he has done
at more than 400 issues seminars
during the past 14 years.
