1 Emergency resuscitation taught here through College H E I David Hoffman takes cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) pretty seriously; he used it to save the life of a man dying from a heart attack. Now Hoffman, a licensed instructor, and fellow student Sue Ohnmacht are teaching this simple yet effective technique in the Red Jacket cafeteria — “It’s the safest place to choke,” says Hoffman. The program is sponsored by College H. Hoffman and Ohmacht are seasoned instructors. they have taught this course before, a course which Hoffman describes as “the first time a college has gotten together with another organization to teach CPR.” In the future, College H hopes to offer credit for the program. Furthermore, Hoffman reports that “We’re trying to extend this education to the University Police and Health Service.” In this way, with three groups teaching the technique, a maximum number of students and community people would be reached, he said. And this is important. The Red Cross reports that most cardiac fatalities occur outside the hospital. CPR is a simple way to keep people alive until they can be placed under a doctor’s care. What CPR does is to provide artificial circulation and respiration to a person whose heart and lungs have stopped dye to a heart attack, electric shock, drowning, etc. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is alternated with cardiac massage to revive the heart and lungs. CPR is a useful skill which can become vital at anytime, anywhere. Learning it takes only a few houts of training and the only investment is a short book that costs about $2.50. Hoffman feels this is a small demand on time and wallet in exchange for the ability to save someone’s life. Political satirist Mark Russel —Koenig His show is sold out - is he? Comedian returns to Buffalo Although Political comedian Mark \Russel will be on campus Monday night, it will be easier to watch his show on television. The multi-talented entertainer, performs a regular nightclub act in Washington, D.C. in addition to authoring a syndicated newspaper column. Originally from Buffalo, Russel returns to the Queen City four times each year to perform his comedy act in UB’s Katherine Cornell Theatre. The live show, which has already been sold out, will be carried by 125 Public broadcasting stations and viewed by close to two million people nationwide. Russel’s material, which can be termed ‘‘political satire,” ranges from stand-up jokes to original ditties on the piano. The show will be carried by WNED, Channel 17, and will start at 8:30 p.m. Police . . . —continued from page 2— the UB picketers are estimated to have forfeited nearly $700 to $800 each for their walk-out' demand workers’ compensation beyond the ten days of coverage in the proposed contract. In addition, allocation of shift work, days off and job assignments should be based on seniority and not by the merit method proposed by the State, the disgruntled sign-carriers reason. Director of UB’s Department of Public Safety Lee Griffin expressed relief over the strike’s end and the students’ adjustment to the situation. “It’s been a difficult time for all'Corfcdrned, especially „£he strikers’ families,” Griffin said. “We have received very few calls for assistance which has made it easier for an understaffed department that has been working 12 hour shifts with no days off,” he added. The strikers have maintained that the written contract which the State offered -them did not include certain provisions which they had been assured of getting in a previously agreed verbal contract. Officers’ demands Meanwhile, State officials estimate that some working prison guards — many of whom are forced to remain in the prisons 24 hours a day — were earning $2,300 or more a week because of overtime.
