Check our web page at httpUAvww,4,0afdGo.com NATION Page 8 THE BATTALION Thursday, Februan Disabled students increase enrollmeii at large national universities, college WASHINGTON (AP) — Students with learning disabilities are attending college in unprecedented numbers, a trend that both dispels the notion that they could not advance beyond high school special education classes and calls into question the num- her of children being la beled with a handicap. “I don’t think anybody expected me to go to col lege. They probably thought I would be flip ping burgers,” said Jed Is rael Pittleman, a New York University junior who has attention deficit disorder. Among the 1.6 million first-time, full-time fresh men enrolled at 3,100 insti tutions of higher education said Beth Robinson of the College Board, which administers the SAT. In the 1970s, Congress passed laws prohibiting discrimination against the disabled and mandating extra education al help for those who need it. "J don't think anybody expected me to go to col lege. They probably thought I would be flip ping burgers. ” — jed Israel Pittleman NYU junior in the United States in 1998 — the most recent figures available — some 154,520, or 9.4 percent, had some kind of disability, says a new study by the American Council on Education. In 1978, by contrast, less than three percent of freshmen reported having a disability. Of those reporting a disability two years ago, 41 percent identified their im pediment as a learning disability. Ten years earlier, the blind or partially sight ed represented the largest category and the percentage of learning disabled was just 15 percent. Colleges are “recognizing that these students have unrealized potential, and many students who years ago would never have contemplated college are,” Natalie Phelps, 20, a senior psychol ogy major at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, had a stroke at age six, but with speech therapy and books on tape, she expects to attend graduate school. “I’m not shy at all about saying what I need, whether it’s note-takers, or read ers for exams, or untimed tests,” she said. Advocates for the learning disabled say such accommodations should be ac cepted just like wheelchair ramps, braille and sign language translators. “Certainly there are very severe cas es within the LD category, but when we look at the broad range, there are con cerns that special ed and LD has become a catchall for anybody who has a learn ing problem,” said Thomas B. Parrish, director of the Center for Special Edu cation Finance at the American Insti tutes for Research in Palo Alto, Calif. In fact, in the 1990s, Boston Uni versity administrators raised questions about the growing learning disabled population. Then, in 1997, a federal judge ordered the school to pay six stu dents $30,000 for treating them as “lazy” learners. Advocates say the nationwide in creases in the number of college stu dents with learning disabilities is easi ly explained: — Doctors, more aware of learning disabilities, are diagnosing more chil dren with conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and arc prescribing medications to help. — Because of the Rehabilitation Act, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, more parents and stu dents are seeking and getting accom modations including extra classes and tutors they are legally entitled to in el ementary, middle and high school. Study author Cathy Henderson also notes that the median income of parents of college freshmen w ith a learning dis ability is slightly higher than those w ith- out a disability. That’s significant be cause, among students with a handicap, those with learning disabilities are the least likely to be offered financial assis tance as an incentive to enroll in col leges, started welcoming the learning disabled by offering special programs and services such as tutorinu, she said.

(AP) — Pharmacist Randy Kautz asked Walgreens for help at least four times. He warned that the drug counter's busy pace might lead to errors. On June 15, 1994, he no longer had to make the point. That day one of his regular customers, Nathan Johnson, sank into a coma from which he never emerged. “Oh my God,” Ruth Johnson remembers Kautz saying as he reexamined the prescription bottle that she brought back to the store. “I’ve given the wrong medication.” A pharmacist’s task is now filled with more speed and more stress than ever before — and, studies sug gest, less satisfaction. Pharmacists blame their work load, growing along with their worries. When that workload affects accuracy, the phannacist’s worries be come the patient’s. The National Pharmacists Association, a trade group based in Darien, III., recommends that, for safe ty’s sake, a pharmacist fill no more than 15 prescrip tions an hour. Elizabeth Allan Flynn, a researcher at Auburn University School of Pharmacy in Alabama, says studies by her and others suggest that the rate of pharmacists’ errors increases after they fill more than 24 prescriptions an hour. Whatever the number, pharmacists complain they routinely have to exceed it. Druggist J.F. Burnham warned Walgreens managers in 1991 that the frantic pace at his store in Arlington Heights, Ill., “enhances the chances for error.” Two phannacists working separate shifts were filling up to 400 prescriptions a day — or nearly 29 an hour. “It’s not unusual for me to talk to pharmacists who are filling 300 prescriptions a day,” says Thomas J. Moore, a health policy analyst at the George Wash ington University Medical Center in Washington, D.C. “The job of the pharmacist is becoming nearly un tenable. Management is putting on pressure to in crease output and reduce waiting time. And it’s going to get worse.” That stress has driven druggists like John Magaud- da from their jobs. over one year at the ch veryb nal R\ wouni Bing gum! ■ongside a t Bst and his ■i the other welled to ti ■ He didn'i I l'oods, wait Jcrack!”of ■arched off Htil you set ' ihgon.” V What fol Hie clubhou! |juolf junkit bods’ swii lining con: ower — th ith shots n He gave “The job of the pharma cist is becoming unten able. ... And it's going to get worse.” — Thomas J. Moore health policy analyst for George Washington University Medical “I’d see a bottle of thyroid medication on the counter and I’d say, ‘Why is this out here? I didn't fill a thyroid prescription today,”’ said Magaudda, who quit his job at a Rite Aid in Santee, Calif., in 1997 after 36 years. “If things went on, it was going to get worse, and 1 was going to make a mistake. A bad mistake.” In a letter of warning to the California State Board of Pharmacy, Magaudda wrote that more pressure on pharmacists would inevitably lead to more errors. Several of the 50 state boards of pharmacy that over see the industry have begun to take complaints like Ma- gaudda’s seriously. Some have linked understaffing to patterns of mistakes by the high-volume chains that now dominate the industry.
