Students to Park
In Market Area

students refrain from parking
their vehicles in spaces pro
vided for patients and visitors.
These spaces are identified by

A number of patients, hav

because of the lack of parking
space occupied by students and
employees of the institution,

administrator, said this week.
He stated that plans are
nearing completion for restric

The University is developing
new opportunities for students
who wish to study and work
in overseas mission fields. Al
ready involved in overseas pro
grams are the School of Medi
cine, and the School of Nursing.
Planning programs for inclu
sion soon is the School of Den
tistry.
New in the School of Medi
cine is a senior students elec
tive program, which makes it
possible for senior students to
choose overseas assignment for
one quarter, according to the
dean's office. Last month the
school sent Vernon P. Wagner
to an assignment in Puerto
Rico. Already the sophomores
have a part in a mission pro
gram overseas.
School of Dentistry students
soon may find similar opportu
nities for work and study in
Korea, Thailand and Pakistan.
Charles T. Smith, DDS, dean of
the school, says the administra
tion is " in the process of de
veloping" programs whereby
students of dentistry would
spend between three and six
months in one of the overseas
countries.
The proposed program would
afford an invaluable introduc
tion to the important field of
international health practice,
especially missionary dentistry,
Dr. Smith reports.
The affiliation would be made
possible in the three Asian
countries by the cooperation
of University alumni staffing
medical institutions there, the
dean explains. Mission hospi
tals at Seoul, Korea; Bangkok,
Thailand; and Karachi, Pakis
tan; have established dental
programs suited to the affilia
tion, he says.
Final arrangements have not
yet been made for the affilia
tion in any of the countries,
according to Dr. Smith. He
hopes, however, that details
can be worked out and the
programs approved " within the
next year or two."
The school's interest in inter
national dentistry dates from
