profit organization funding research to identify effective treatments to reduce pain and increase mobility for those who suffer from back pain. The ASRF hopes to increase awareness of the fact that back pain affects 80 percent of the population at least once and costs U.S. society $25 billion per year. When they began their journey, th e Logan bike trip participants had abo ut $13,000 in support for their expenses and their ASRF contri b ution pledged primarily from compan ies se ll ing chiropracti c products and from Loga n Co ll ege alumni, emp loyees and students. They received add itiona l contri butions and pledges from chi ropractors whom they met along the way. A large, enthusiastic crowd of Logan students and employees gathered in front of the ca mpus Admini stration Center on Au gust 6 to provide a rou sing send-off for th e b ike trip parti cipants, who left as soon as they fin ished summer trimester final exams. All students who participated in the trip expect to graduate from Logan College in 1998 or 1999. The student

"Most of us had never seen this part of the country before," Leap wrote in an article published in the Logan student newspaper, the Chiropractic Arch. "We saw many beautiful rivers, lakes and mountains. We saw many depressed areas as well and it made each of us grateful for what we have and (made us) want to give more of ou rselves every day... "Why did we do it? We d id it for many reasons," added Leap. " First, we did it because we beli eve in chiropractic. We believe in its primary role in hea lth care. We as athletes believe in its effect on performance and felt it was best demonstrated by putting our physi cal limitations to th e test." Leap said the students also feel strongly about the need for more research funding for ch iropractic. In addition, she sa id they wanted to share their pride in being students at Logan Co ll ege with everyon e th ey met along the w ay. The tired but exuberant students arr ived August 15 at the Peabody Hotel in Orlando for the start of the Florida Ch iropractic Association convention, where they w ere w elcomed by attendees at the convention, inc luding Logan President Dr. George A.

A ll of the students arrived in good health - there were a few bumps and bru ises, but no one was limping."

Bartruff spoke on behalf of the students, thanking the Logan community for its moral and financial support. Bartruff said he feared he would not be able to reach the required level of fitness for the trip, and thanked hi s fellow riders for t heir assistance as he trained. He also expressed apprec iation for Leap's work as an organ izer and manager durin g and before the trip .

Noting that the riders are eager to see students from other ch iropracti c co ll eges join the Tour de Spi ne in future years, Fries emphasized hi s strong support of this goal. "ASRF's goal is to become the publi c ed ucation and research partner of th e chirop ractic profess ion and oth er professions add ress ing spinal problems," said Fri es, "just as the American Hea rt Association is the partner of the cardio log ists, the Ameri ca n Ca ncer Soc iety is th e partner of th e onco logists, etc. "We be li eve th at the Tour de Spine has great potenti al," Fri es added. "Next year, w e hope to have students from many ch iropractic co ll eges beginning their rides on the same day. You shou ld be very proud th at students at Logan Co ll ege got the ball rollin g. However, the Tour de Spine has great potential to becom e a national fund -raising event for c hiropracti c research."

Logan Brings Tri Zero Program Onto Campus Logan's Trimester Zero program, offered for many years at St. Louis Community College at Meramec, will move to the Logan campus as of January 6. The Trimester Zero program offers college-level science courses required for admission to a chiropractic college on an intensive, eight-month schedule, with students attending classes four afternoons per week and some evenings. The program covers the equivalent of two semesters of biology, two semesters of general chemistry, two semesters of organic chemistry and two semesters of physics. Tri Zero is primarily utilized by applicants for admission to Logan who already have completed two or more years of college course work but who did not take laboratory science courses. The program 's upcoming move to the Logan campus was announced by William Ramsey, PhD, Vice President of Academic Affairs, and Melvin "Bucky" Reynolds, Dean of Student Enrollment and Director of the Tri Zero program. "Moving the program to the Logan campus will provide cost savings to the college and help students become acclimated to the college before beginning Trimester 1," says Dr. Ramsey. "The community college required us to guarantee a certain number of students for every course every semester. If we did not meet the goal, we had to pay each student's tuition. "This happened particularly often with the biology sequence," adds Dr. Ramsey, "because many of our applicants have taken solid college biology courses even if they did not take other sciences. Now we can avoid paying such fees, while using our ample facilities more fully." In addition, says Dr. Ramsey, Logan can appoint its own faculty members for the on-campus program, and can require them to teach material in a way that wi II make it easier for students to integrate it into their later chiropractic studies - a strong preference among Trimester Zero students. Trimester Zero classes will begin most days at 11 :30 a.m. or later, says Reynolds. Laboratory sessions will be
held first, followed by lectures, avoiding lecture room or laboratory scheduling conflicts with the Doctor of Chiropractic degree curriculum. In conjunction with the start of Trimester Zero on the Logan campus, the college also is increasing the number of hours required for its Bachelor of Science in Human Biology degree to 141 hours. In addition to two years of pre-chiropractic course work, Basic Science Division courses at Logan have counted toward the B.S. degree. Now, additional Basic Science Division courses - that all Logan students took previously but that were not included in the B.S. degree curriculum - have been added to it. Students will be required to receive grades of C or better in each of the new B.S. degree courses - Pathology I,
Pathology II and Public Health, Hygiene and Sanitation - in order to qualify for the degree. All classes included in the Trimester Zero program also are required of B.S . degree candidates, says Dr. Ramsey. "When we decided to bring the Tri Zero program onto campus, we felt that this also would be an opportunity to upgrade our B.S. degree," he explains. "Our general educational accrediting body, the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, has approved the change in our B.S. degree." All students pursuing the B.S. degree who enrolled as Trimester 1 students in May 1997 or later will be subject to the new degree requirements.
Classmates of Dr. Brett Ajax Present Donation Honoring His Memory Dr. Lotta Rudh Timberlake of Columbia, Mo. visited the Logan campus on October 25 to present a check for $1,800 to the Learning Resources Center. Dr. Timberlake and other friends and classmates of the late Dr. Brett Ajax contributed the money in his memory. Dr. Ajax graduated from Logan in 1985 and practiced in Hot Springs, Ark. He passed away last February after experiencing cardiac arrest. Accompanying Dr. Timberlake to the check presentation were Dr. Brad Rasch of Vicksburg, Miss., a 1966 Logan graduate and friend of Dr. Ajax, and Dr. Ajax's parents, Warren and Joyce Ajax of Hot Springs Village.

Logan Purchases Property Adjoining Campus
[
Logan College purchased 8.62 acres of property from the Archdiocese of St. Louis on October 9. The property adjoins the former north boundary of the Logan campus. The Archdiocese has owned the land since the Maryknoll Order sold its campus in 1972, with Logan College purchasing 103 acres at that time along with the campus facilities that the order had constructed. The Archdiocese had held the strip of land as a possible site for a new parish. However, demand for parishes was higher elsewhere, so the Archdiocese decided to sell the land . "When the Archdiocese put the adjoining property up for sale, we felt that it would be in the best interest of the college to purchase the land," says Logan President Dr. George A. Goodman. "We could not have imposed any restrictions on the use of the land by other owners, so there would have been some risk to our campus environment. "In addition," says Dr. Goodman, "the new land has a gravel drive -
which parallels our service and entrance roads extending to Schoettler Road . If an emergency should ever force us to close our main entrance drive, it wi II be advanta-
geous to have two other roads available, instead of just one, so that people needing to enter and leave campus quickly can do so."

Health Centers Host Fair for TWA Employees The Logan Health Centers hosted a two-day, private chiropractic health fair for employees of Trans World Airlines in October. The event was held near the in-flight service lounge at Lambert St. Louis International Airport and was attended by in-flight service employees and ground crew members of the airline. The event was organized by Health Centers Marketing Director Kim Ownbey and Logan student Dana Underkofler, a former TWA flight attendant. Dr. Rita Kennedy of the Health Centers clinical faculty and 24 interns staffed the event, providing information at a series of booths. The booths focused on individual topics such as chiropractic and exercise, nutrition and chiropractic and postural assessments. "The employees were excited to have an opportunity to learn more
about chiropractic," said Underkofler. "Many people who work in airline jobs are chiropractic patients or are interested in learning how chiroprac-
tic could help them. We spoke with about 400 TWA employees during the health fair."

Long-Time Faculty Members Retire
L
ogan College has honored three retiring faculty members in recent months, combining warm wishes for future happiness with regret upon losing the effort of these talented individuals. The facu lty members who have retired are Dr. Thiema Baumann, Professor of Basic Sciences; Dr. Lawrence J. Hutti, Professor of Clinical and Chiropractic Sciences, and Dr. Gary Johnson, Professor and Educational Coordinator. Logan employees gathered in the Administrative Conference Room to bid farewell to Dr. Johnson prior to his departure in September, when he moved to Colorado Springs to spend more time with family members there. On October 30, the co llege held a retirement party on campus honoring Drs. Hutti and Baumann . Dr. Baumann was un ab le to attend, but sent good wishes to the Logan comm unity. Dr. Hutti, who remain s on campus on a part-time basis as instructor for the Trimester 2 Introduction to Basic Technique, was on hand to describe hi s happy memories of Logan Co ll ege. Each of the retiring faculty members is profiled on the fol lowing pages.
Dr. Larry Hutti: A Distinguished Career as Chiropractic Practitioner, Educator and Researcher When Dr. Larry Hutti returned to his home in the St. Louis suburb of Normandy after World War II, he knew v irtu all y nothin g about ch iro practic. Enro lling at Saint Louis University to study finance, he planned to pursue a career in business. Poor health, however, made it a strugg le for Dr. Hutti to succeed in his studies . He had returned from hisservice overseas - primarily in China and the Philippines- with malaria. " I had tried all kinds of treatments, with no success," says Dr. H utti. "The Logan campus was t hen in Normandy near my home. One day, I met some Logan students at a local hang-out. When I told them about my hea lth prob lems, they encouraged me to visit the co ll ege c lini c. " I had a phys ica l exam and bega n treatment at the co ll ege in October 1947," co ntinu es Dr. Hutti . "After severa l adjustments, the frequency of my attacks of fever and ch ills was greatly reduced . I had my last malari a attack in March of 1948." In the meantim e, Logan c lini ca l director Dr. Gera ld Werder (now deceased) adv ised Dr. H utti to co nsider entering the field of chiropract ic. " I felt th at chiropractic had given me my life back," says Dr. Hutti. "I changed my ca reer goal and enroll ed at the college." In add ition to Dr. Worder, Dr. H utti 's mentors at Logan included th e late Dr. Dale M ontgomery and Dr. David Chamberlain . Dr. Chamberlain now res ides in Knoxv ill e, Tenn . H is son, Dr. D . A ll en Chamber lain, also graduated f rom Logan Co ll ege. D r. Hutti 's student memo ri es of the Normandy ca mpu s inc lud e th e excitement su rrou ndi ng the co nstruction of the ad ministrative center and clinic bu il ding in 1950. " Our c lass w as among th e f irst c lasses to co mp lete our c lini ca l intern ships in the
new bui lding," he says. " Of co urse, the students also were very happy about the cafeter ia wh ich was attached to the clini c." After graduating in 1951 , Dr. Hutti began practicing in North St. Louis Co unty. However, less than a year later, then-president of Logan Co ll ege Dr. Vinton Logan asked Dr. Hutti to return to campus to help superv ise interns in th e cl ini c. Dr. Hutti later sold h is practice and began working full-time as a clinic director and as a classroom instructor. After five years of teaching, Dr. Hutti returned to ch iropractic practi ce. Over the years, he owned several practices in North and W est St. Louis County, includin g the first chiropractic profess iona l corporatio n in Missouri, which he form ed in 1970 w ith three other doctors . The ir large chiropracti c c lini c was located in t he St. Louis suburb of Coo l Val ley. Dr. Hutti and his wife, Mary Jane, raised four sons and a daughter. Two of their sons, Drs. Steve and Mark, graduated from Logan and practice together in Char leston, Ill. Dr. Hutti w as among the ea rli est members of th e chiropractic profession to be ce rtified to pra ctice acupuncture durin g the early 1970s. "At th at ti me, the use of acup uncture was somewhat co ntrovers ial w ithin the profession beca use need ling w as seen as an invas ive procedure/' he says . " Howev er, I a lw ays used acupuncture as an adjunctive method on ly, an d I used elect rostimulation in stead of needling. I found th e phi losophy of acupuncture to be appli cab le in many cases in which I d id not actu all y use it as a treatment." In 1983, D r. Hutti returned to fu ll time teachin g at Logan.

THE TOWER/DECEMBER 1997 project adviser. He also conducted the college's early research studies on the Toftness method of chiropractic adjusting. The Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Research has co ntributed nearly $300,000 to Logan College for research on the Toftness method of adjusting since the early 1980s. The late Dr. I.N. Toftness, developer of the Toftness method, completed postgraduate study under Dr. H.B . Logan and employed Dr. Logan's adjusting system as a foundation for the development of his own system of adjusting. In recent years, investigations on the Toftness method have been conducted by two other Logan faculty members, (the late) Dr. Elmer Hawkinson and Dr. Brian Snyder. Logan Director of Research and Ergonomics Dr. Gary Sanders works closely with faculty researchers assigned to each project. Dr. Hutti 's interest in the clinical application of nutrition led him to develop a computer-based nutritional assessment program . The program utilizes responses to a questionnaire completed by each patient or research subject and correlates symptoms and individual health trends with results of a blood test, providing an indication of

and taught it in clinical nutritional classes at Logan . He also wrote and published a textbook, Human Chemistry and Nutritional Analysis, addressing the system. Dr. Hutti is now nearing completion of another textbook addressing Logan Basic Technique. The text will be the first on Dr. H . B. Logan's adjustive methods published since 1968. That year, then-president of Logan College Dr. William Coggins pub-

"If there is an indication that nutritional supplementation could help the patient achieve better health, he or she is placed on a supplement program complemented by dietary changes/' says Dr. Hutti . "We never rely on supplements alone ." Dr. Hutti used the nutritional assessment system as a practitioner
lished a text updating an earlier volume by the late Dr. Fern Logan Murray, widow of Dr. H.B ., and Dr. H.B.'s son, the late Dr. Vinton Logan. In the years after Dr. H.B.'s death in 1944, Drs. Murray and Logan compiled his notes to form a book on the technique that he developed . Both earlier texts are among Dr. Hutti 's sources, but he has extended the information base for his book
extensively. Dr. Hutti's text is literature-based, with more than 60 references to journal articles on anatomy, physiology, motion and biomechanics . He also has networked with other spinal experts at meetings of the American Association of Orthopedists and the 2nd Interdisciplinary Congress on Low Back Pain. "Much of the information that I've found in applied biomechanics verifies Dr. H.B.'s theories and concepts/' says Dr. Hutti. "It's been a very interesting experience to write the textbook, although it's been a lot more work than I ever imagined it would be! The book should be available in published form sometime next year." In addition to teaching, research and writing, Dr. Hutti also has demonstrated his loyalty to Logan College by serving as a member of the Logan Alumni Association Board of Directors. He was president of the association from 1993-95 . "It is always a pleasure to be of service to Logan/' he says . "But I've especially enjoyed teaching and being with students, and I've tried to approach teaching with professionalism. I'm glad to have the opportunity to continue as an instructor on a parttime basis . If I can help a student become a better doctor, I feel I'm doing something extremely worthwhile ."

Dr. Gary johnson: Combining Educational Expertise and Commitment to Chiropractic During late adolescence, Dr. Gary johnson suffered from migraine headaches.

Dr. Thiema Baumann:
Excellence In Basic Science
Dr. Baumann
As a child, recently retired Dr. Thi ema Baumann was inspired by read in g about ea rly -2 0th-ce ntury phys ic ist and Nobel Pri ze w inn er M arie Curi e. But when she bega n her
career duri ng th e 1940s, a wom an's interest in sciences often was not rece ived favorably. "Once t he United States entered World War II, however," she exp lain s, "as men w ere call ed up, m any oppo rtun it ies became ava il ab le for women - not j ust in factori es, but in grad uate progra m s in the sc ie nces, w hi c h bad ly needed students in order to surv ive." Dr. Baumann comp leted a master's deg ree prog ram at W as hi ngton Un iversity in 1944, in zoo logy and educat io n. Sh e taught high schoo l b io logy and enjoyed the experi ence, but w ishin g to pursu e add it io na l study of sc ience, she enroll ed for an additional year of grad uate study at Sain t Lou is Un iversity in 1945. " It w as mu ch more d iffic ult fo r wom en to have ca reers in sc ience after the men ca me home after t he wa r," she says. "Some co mp ani es wou ld te ll you f lat out th at th ey w o uld not hire w o m en. "One pos itive res u lt of th e w ar,

She later became director of biologic research and coordinator of clinical-life sciences research for th e university's graduate orthodontic department. In the latter position, Dr. Baumann was responsible for directing graduate-level research and theses. Two research projects conducted under her supervision won national awards. She also wrote grant proposals and directed seminars in human genetics, human growth and development and basic sciences. Dr. Baumann also published extensively and presented research at scientific conferences. Much of her research related to the use of orthodontia, focusing on topics such as head growth and development. She also has conducted zoological research ranging from ex aminations of the reptilian brain stem to orthodontic pilot studies on rhesus monkeys. "The scientific community has changed a great deal since I began my career," says Dr. Baumann. "I was taught by professors who were real truth-seekers. If they made a mistake or changed their minds about something, they explained why. They saw
science as a spiritual pursuit, not a way to make names for themselves or put others down, which are often the preoccupations of people in science today." Dr. Baumann began teaching at Logan College in 1977, following the closure of the SLU dental/orthodontic program. "One of the first things that impressed me about the Logan student body was that everyone didn't seem to come from the same 'cookie cutter'," she says. "Chiropractic
into their attitudes as many health profession students I had encountered," says Dr. Baumann. "And I always found the specialized interests of Logan students and graduates everything from nutrition to biofeedback - very interesting." During her 20-year tenure at Logan, Dr. Baumann taught many required courses in basic sciences, including embryology, histology, cell biology, microbiology lab and entomology.
''One of the first things that impressed me about the Logan student body was that everyone didn't seem to come from the same 'cookie cutter.'" seems to allow for more differences among personalities that you usually find in health professions . And some of the students at Logan had amazing life stories - I remember one man who had spent 20 years working in a submarine. "Logan students were not as locked
Fund-Raising for Holiday Gifts for the Homeless Off to Strong Start Students and employees of Logan College are raising money for the college's annual holiday gift program for St. Louis-area homeless people . Each year since 1990, Logan has provided gift packages of warm, new clothing to up to 350 homeless men and women in the St. Louis area . Logan's 1997 "Lifting Spirits" bench-press contest and bake sale, held November 19, raised more than $2,000 in cash and pledges. Pledges were offered according to the amount of weight lifted by bench-press participants. Organizers hoped to raise $3,000 more from various sources . Gift packages will be distributed to homeless peopl e at various sites in St. Louis by Logan College repr ese ntatives on Christmas morning or shortly before Christmas. Dr. Allen Parry, Dean of Postgraduate Education at Logan College, and Erica Collier, Radiology Department secretary, are coordinators of the holiday gift programs. Contributions are welcome, and can be sent to Collier's attention at Logan College of Chiropractic, 1851 Schoettler Road, PO Box 1065, Chesterfield, MO 63006-1065. Checks should be made out to "Logan Christmas Charities."
In retirement, Dr. Baumann expects to do research on a part-time basis and attend neurobiology seminars at Washington University, along with getting some well-deserved rest. "I will miss Logan, though," she says . "The college has excellent students."
Dr. Ramsey Represents Logan at Dr. Parker's Funeral The Logan College administration extends its condolences to alumni, students and employees of Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, on the November 8 death of its founder and former president, Dr. James W. Parker. Logan College vice president of academic affairs Dr. William Ramsey attended Dr. Parker's funeral, which was held in Dallas on November 13 . "Dr. Parker had a great commitment to the chiropractic profession and a sincere desire to advance our interests," says Logan President Dr. George A. Goodman. "We will miss him."
