COMPUTER REGISTRATION,   a cloudy procedure for both students and

Three members of the CM LIFE staff, headed by Special Affairs Editor
Ken Tabacsko, have analyzed computerized registration plans here during
the past three weeks and they will give an in-depth look at the system in
Wednesday's issue of Central Michigan LIFE:

influx of students involved.    Approximately    7,000    Central   students   are
i enrolled in the School of Education.
Alan F. Quick, director of student
teaching, noted that the Mt. Pleasant
I community is already saturated With either
student teachers or student volunteers.
However, he emphasized there are many
schools in the immediate area that do
need help but this involves a funding
problem.
Quick suggested the SEA might serve
as "sort of liason group between here
and school districts throughout the state."
In this capacity, the SEA would handle
publicity in the high schools, aiming at
I students contemplating coming to Central.

iounty Medical Care Center, 1222 North
)rive, Mt. Pleasant. . ^.
gis of today, the Family planning
Irogram is discontinued, announced Kent
Iray, administrator of the Central
Michigan Health Department. Gray cited
|e reason for the dissolution of the-pro- ,
|ram as "entirely financial.''
! "It is unfortunate that we have "to do
I his (halt the program) but state and
ederal funds were cut back this year,"
le said. "Our allotment for 1972 was
[10,000 and we used that in the month
|f January alone."
I Family Planning was geared toward
Iroviding free medical    assistance to
ersons interested in birth control.   In
addition to providing birth control help,
the program also served as a screening
center for communicable diseases and
cancer detection.
Organized in October, 1970, the program
serves roughly 1,200 persons. In January
and February over 500 people utilized the
program, said Gray. : The program pays
for the initial examination and a year's
prescription bill for using its services,
v "We asked for $20,000 to last until
July 1," commented Gray, "We cover
six counties and have a potential population
of 32,000 in the child-bearing age group.
' . "I can see where it conceivably could
cost from $12,000 to $15,000 per month
to run a program like this," added Gray.
"Most of the northern counties are having
the same problem we are. Federal funds
tend to be spent in the southern areas of
the state."
Gray emphasized if people are interested in seeking the return of the program
they should contact area representatives
and senators of the federal government.
He also stressed that the program was
not exclusively for those of lower incomes
who otherwise might not be able to afford
the  services  offered by the program.
"When wetare working with tax dollars
I don't think people should be excluded
simply because of their ability to pay
or not to pay," concluded Gray.
