Eight Faculty Changes " Announced by Provost Lee (continued from page one) part of the larger program aimed at increasing the enrollment of minority group representatives and the underpriv ileged in all medical and allied health education areas. But, he added, it is aimed specifically at meeting the needs of Duke employees who want to advance in or move into health fields. Dr. William G. Aniyan, vice president for health affairs, said the Medical Center is prepared to provide the budgetary support for PEP when it becomes oper ational, sometime around the beginning of the year. "On the national scene," Dr. Aniyan said, "there is much talk and little action in providing non-academic employes up ward or lateral mobility with access to the academic areas. It is in this very important national need that the Duke University Medical Center will lead the way." He then compared the traditional aca demic structure with that of private industry: "Whereas in industry the mail clerk has had the opportunity to become the president of the company," Dr. Aniyan noted, "in health centers rigid academic compartmentalization has prevented the dietetics worker, hospital orderly, or housekeeper from progressing up the ladder of increasing responsibility. "Every employee should have the opportunity of pursuing his talents to the fullest at the same time as earning a living wage," he added. Lee said he would be meeting with an advisory committee to the PEP pro gram during the coming weeks and that exact procedures to be followed by those interested in participating would be a- nnounced as soon as they are established. Parents Attend Meet The Duke Preschool Acoustic Nursery and the Training Center for Hearing Impaired Children presented a workshop for parents of deaf children at the Medical .Center September 27.
