2 TWO NEW HA ALUMNI' — Two men from whom Duke's graduate program for the training of hospital and health administrators has received major encouragement and support over the years are now honorary alumni. Dr. William G. Anlyan (seated at left), vice president for health affairs, and Dr. Barnes Woodhall, Aniyan's predecessor as chief executive officer of the medical center and later chancellor pro tem of the university, look over alumni certificates presented to them by the Duke University Hospital Administration Alumni Association. The honorary memberships, presented during the recent National Forum, were authorized by the association last fall during the presidency of Louis E. Swanson (standing, left), who is director of planning for the medical center and an associate professor of health administration Beside him is the association's current president, Ralph H. Holthouser Jr., associate director of Lakeland (Fla.) General Hospital, and bending over to read Woodhall's certificate is Dr. B. Jon Jaeger, chairman of the Department of Health Administration. A ?ertificate program in hospital administration was established here in 1930. The first class to receive master's degrees in the graduate program was that of 1964. Since then the name of the program has been changed to health administration in recognition of administrative requirements in the health field beyond hospitals. Swanson summarized the two men's contributions to the program by saying, "Dr. Woodhall got it to go and Dr. Anlyan encouraged it to grow." (Photo fcy Parker Herring) Cancer Information Service begins third year (Continued from page 1) states can dial 1-919-286-2266 (not a free call). In Durham, Butner and Creedmoor, the number to dial is 286-2266. The phones are answered from 9 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. weekdays; at other times, a caller can leave his name and phone number on an answering device and will get a free call back. The service, part of the Comprehensive Cancer Center, is one of 19 information offices around the nation financed by the National Cancer Institute, In the two years since it opened, the Cancer Information Service has compiled a book of answers five inches thick. McCrory keeps the answers up to date. If she doesn't have a ready answer when a question comes in, she calls specialists in North Carolina, at the National Cancer Institute or elsewhere around the country until she does have an answer. Answers approved first Physicians or health officials approve all answers before they're given out, according to Dr. Diane McGrath, director of cancer control at the Comprehensive Cancer Center. McGrath was the first director of the information service and still supervises it. The most common type of call to the service comes from people who have bothersome symptoms, she said. Close in second place are calls from people wanting a referral to a doctor, clinic or social service agency. File cabinets at the service are filled with information about governmental agencies and private groups that help Intercom IS published weekly by the Office of Public Relations, Duke University Medical Center, Box 3354, Durham, N.C. 27710. joe Sigler Director John Becton Editor Primary contributors; William Erwin, Comprehensive Cancer Center medical writer; Ina Fried, staff writer; Parker Herring,, public relations assistant; Edith Roberts, staff writer; David Williamson, medical writer.

"People could be using these services to ease their situations," McGrath said, "but they don't know the services exist. We can help them get in touch with services near their homes, such as clubs for ostomy patients or speech therapists for those who've lost their vocal chords to cancer." More concerned about breast cancer Of all the types of cancer, breast cancer concerns the largest number of callers. Following in order are calls about skin cancer, lung cancer and colon cancer. "We don't get a lot of calls about environmental links to cancer," the director said. "That's surprising, considering the attention the media give to the environment." Sometimes physicians call the service for information, McGrath said. "During the publicity about radiation treatments and thyroid cancer last year, we got a call from an industrial physician who was getting requests for thyroid exams but who hadn't done these exams in a long time," she said. "He wanted the name of a thyroid specialist so he could brush up on his technique. He was closest to Bowman Gray School of Medicine, so we referred him to a specialist there." If the Duke Cancer Information Service could accomplish just one goal, McGrath said, it would be this; "to destroy the widely-held notion that cancer means death. We know that some cancers are chronic diseases. People have them and they're getting along just fine." On tour today A group of health careers students from George Washington High School in Danville, Va., are touring the medical center today with their teacher, Charlotte Carter. Patiently waiting The Medical PDC has had a regular visitor this week. He opens the door, walks in, shakes hands and finds a comfortable Sf>ot to lie down. The big difference between him and the other PDC visitors is that this one is an old black dog. The well-fed dog has no collar. He seems familiar with the hospital and acts as if he may be waiting for his owner. If anyone knows the dog's owner or where he lives, please call Edith Scoggins, 684-3418.
