LLUMC president thanks
lawmakers for support
Loma Linda University Medi
cal Center president David B.
Hinshaw, Sr., MD, and James
M. Slater, MD, chairman of the
department of radiation sciences
at Loma Linda University School
of Medicine, traveled to
Washington, D. C., last week to
thank lawmakers for their
assistance in making possible the
new $ 40 million Proton Beam
Cancer Treatment Center facili
ty now under construction at the
Medical Center.
Prior to making their remarks.
Dr. Hinshaw and Dr. Slater were
introduced to the lawmakers by
Jerry Lewis, congressional
representative for most of San
Bernardino county.
In his remarks to the subcom
mittee on energy and water
development in the United States
House of Representatives, Dr.
Hinshaw said that " I would first like
to express my deep gratitude for
the support that this subcommit
tee has given to the Proton
Beam Cancer Treatment Center
over the past few years, and
thank you for your commitment
to proton beam therapy."
In his remarks, Dr. Hinshaw
stated that " at this time, we have
essentially completed the
technical phase of the Proton
Beam Cancer Treatment Center,
and we have now moved on to
the medical phase.
" On February 14, 1989, con
struction of the proton accelerator
machine was completed by the
Fermi National Accelerator
Laboratory. Now in the final

The new cancer treatment
facility in which the proton ac
celerator will be housed is pro
ceeding according to schedule,
according to Dr. Slater. The new
cancer treatment facility will serve
up to 100 patients per 10- hour
day, and can treat more if the
number of hours is expanded.
" Indeed, we are prepared to
operate up to 24 hours a day."
The treatment facility has been
designed to make the patient and

La Sierra campus
maintains steady
enrollment increase
Spring quarter enrollment on
the La Sierra campus maintains
its steady increase over that of last
school year, according to Arno
Kutzner, PhD, director of Univer
sity records.
As of April 4, following one
week of registration for spring
quarter, the six schools repre
sented on the La Sierra campus
showed a total enrollment of
1,715 students by head count, in
cluding both undergraduate and
graduate students. This indicates
only a slight decrease of nine
students from winter quarter's
enrollment for the La Sierra
schools; the enrollment in the
College of Arts and Sciences
dropped by only one student.
" This is truly a record enroll
ment for spring quarter" says Dr.
Kutzner, " since we always plan for
a drop of 100 students in the
spring."
These figures attest to a higher
enrollment over the 1987- 88
school year by 106 students for
the spring quarter. And the slight
decrease of nine students from
winter quarter, 1989, contrasts
sharply with last school year's
significant drop of about 65
students between winter and
spring quarters.
" We are truly pleased with the
kind of responsible commitment
and loyalty that our students are
showing to Loma Linda Univer
sity: says R. Dale McCune, EdD,
vice president and provost of the
La Sierra campus.
