College Sc System He BY SUSAN USHER An end to problems with Brunswick Community College's telephone system is in sight, according to President Michael Reaves and Business Manager Ben DeBlois. Meanwhile, last Wednesday night Reaves urged college trustees to, 44T'r*ll thn nilKUp fn nlnncn Knor - ?? v..*- (4UWUV W pivaov. utai wiui US." "There's not a day that I don't talk with someone complaining about our phone system," he added. Reaves told trustees the college is looking to replace its current system, which consists of four incoming and eight outgoing lines. Only one more line can be added to the existing switchboard. Business Manager DeBlois said the college is investigating the purchase of a used system that would triple the current capacity to 12 incoming and 24 outgoing lines. "Atlantic Telephone is holding it for us," he said, while the purchase is discussed with the Department of Community Colleges. The college is also considering addition of a Leland line, so that residents throughout the county can call BCC toll-free. Once the new system is installed, switchboard personnel at the college will undergo training. Chapter Closes A _ 12, 4 4 4- 41 11_ 1_ nil tiujuauiiciib tu mc cuucgc a state budget Wednesday night in effect closed an embarrassing chapter in its history. The board aDDroved a reduction of $14,131 in state funding for the current year, based on a audit of the continuing education department for 1985-86. Funding for programs is based on r TE's, full-time equivalents, calculated on the basis of students and the hours for which they are nnPAlloH Wtu V4twu> "Based on the audit there were fewer Students taking fewer hours than we reported," DeBlois explained later. The audit?and similar ones at several other community college campuses, was prompted following unveiling of fraud in the program at Cape Fear Community College in Wilmington. The local investigation closed with indictment of one continuing education instructor, Bertie Faye King, on a charge of fraud. She pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor one count of and received a 30-day I FRIED CHICKEN ...for Individuals 2 Piece Snnck 0 Dinro HinnQF J?

She chaired the steer- t ing committee for the year-long s study, required as the college seeks reaccreditation by the Southern t Association of Colleges and Schools, s The study involved committees con- < sisting of most of the college's < employees. i A team of educators representing SACS will visit the college campus May 9-12. That visit will be followed by a letter of recommendations. The college must prepare a formal response or explanation for each recommendation, she said. The college was initially accredited five years ago. From this point on it will undergo a reaccreditation self-study every 10 years, with an interim report at the five-year mark. A decision on reaccreditation should be made by September; if the college is approved, it would receive accreditation at the SACS annual meeting in Atlanta, Ga., in f December. t According to its introduction, the i college expects many "beneficial r spin-offs" from close look at how the f college operates. It also notes that the study identifies "a significant * number of deficiencies and practices 5 that require correction, reassess- S ment, or implementation." f C Am A nf AWaaAAA l?

Chiropractic ...WITH DR.1 Doctc Dr. Victoria E. Webster of the Webster Fami Chiropractic Center says that spinal defects have fr quently been noticed in an ulcer patient. It is for th reason she strongly advocates modern Chiropract care for ulcer conditions. Dr. Webster noted that "you can't enjoy life w"n? you are suffering from stomach ulcers." She said thi some of the first signs are gas pains, indigestion and swelling or bloated feeling. "Operations or diets sometimes bring temporal relief," said Dr. Webster. "But after a while that ol ulcer acts up again unless you correct the real cause i the trouble." Dr. Webster disclosed that pinched nerves of t! spine often interfere with the nerves controlling tl digestive juices and cause a body imbalance. Ulcei then result when foods are unable to get their norm supply of those digestive juices. At the present time, tourism in our area is real booming. This applies tremendous stress on the peop who help support our community by accommodatii these tourists. If the spine is weak already, this exti stress may be enough to cause nerve pressure. Modern Chiropractic utilizes x-ray and other sciei tific methods to check for spinal defects.
