Confirmation of the lii “could dramatically impact® sc ience” by leading to recaki of the masses of the planeti ; e. By Velia Velez Reporter Fourteen minority college stu dents interested in the medical field received a dose of the world of medi cine this summer. The students were participants in the Bridge to Medicine Program, which provides orientation, encour agement and support to minority and disadvantaged students inter ested in a medical career. Filomeno G. Maldonado, director of the Health Career Opportunities Program, said the Bridge to Medi cine Program is designed to aid stu dents in making the transition to medical school. “We are trying to facilitate stu dents’ entry into medical school by familiarizing them with all aspects of the admission process and by pro viding classes that allow them to bet ter their knowledge in certain cour ses,” Maldonado said. Courses are offered in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, reading and writing. Texas A&M faculty members teach the courses. The students participate in ses sions to review medical college ad mission tests and learn test-taking skills. They also are introduced to professors and medical students. The program was established in 1986 and is funded by the Depart ment of Health and Human Re sources. Fifteen students per year are accepted through an application process based on an overall grade- point ratio of 3.0 or greater and completion of at least 60 credit hours including courses in biology, chemistry, physics and organic chemistry. Housing, meals, class materials and resources are provided for the students. The six-week program ended July 22. Maldonado credits the program as one of the reasons for the increase of minority students applying to medical school. “Although there has been only a small increase, it is a significant in crease,” he said. “I think the increase is a direct result of programs of this type being conducted.” More than 70 percent of the stu dents participating in the program have entered into medical school or health professions. Building purchase bilks health group HOUSTON (AP) — Harris Coun ty’s mental health authority, under fire for buying a building for $1.2 million more than it had been sold for earlier the same day, paid $420,000 more for the building than its own appraisal showed it to be worth. Richard H. Basden, president of Parkway Realty Research, which did the appraisal, said he was “puzzled at how they could have bought it (the buidling) for $3.3 million,” since he had appraised it at $2.88 million. The county Mental Health and Mental Retardation Authority also plans to spend another $500,000 to remodel the office building into an outpatient clinic for adult mental health clients. The questionable transaction in volved the president of a company whose dealings prompted the re cently disclosed investigation by the district attorney’s office. Investigators revealed last week they were probing the purchase of the $3.3 million office building. In vestigators allege John P. Chambers and his brother, Dunbar Chambers Jr., defrauded their business part ners by buying the property from them for $2.1 million March 29 and then selling it to the county the same day at a $ 1.2 million profit. An appraisal obtained by the au thority to the purchase valued the building and land at $2.9 million. State District Judge Mary Bacon found there was probably cause to believe theft had occurred.
