nized as an accrediting agency by the U.S. Department of Education . In 1991, Logan became the first CCEaccredited college to receive a sevenyear re-accreditation. The CCE accredits 17 chiropractic colleges in North America. "Logan College's success during the re-accreditation review process is a reflection of ongoing effort by members of the college faculty, staff and ag ministration, who have worked diligently to keep Logan in the forefront of chiropractic education," said Dr. Goodman. A CCE team visited the Logan campus for four days in March to conduct on-site site evaluation and has reviewed a detailed self-study of the college's operations, prepared by Logan employees during the past year. The CCE evaluation covered Logan's Doctor of Chiropractic degree program. The program's 10-semester curriculum encompasses basic sci-
ences, clinical (diagnostic) sciences, chiropractic adjusting techniques, research and supervised clinical experience in patient care. Logan also offers a Bachelor of Science in human biology degree, which is accredited by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The latter agency also accredits Logan College in its entirety. Dr. Ramsey explains that Logan is accredited by the CCE and the North Central Association in order to ensure its credibility within both the chiropractic profession and the field of higher education. Leading preparation of the study was a coordinating team that included Dr. Ramsey; Sharon Kehrer, MBA, Vice President of Administrative Affairs; and Educational Coordinators Kelly Brinkman, DC and Robyn Wilkerson, DC.

Phonathon Planned to Meet Two Fund-Raising Challenges Logan College recently accepted its second fund-raising challenge this year, from the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Education (FACE) of Alpharetta, Ga. If Logan meets the terms of the challenge, FACE president Dr. William Harris has promised to make a $50,000 donation to the college. Logan must raise $50,000 in matching funds, in cash, by February 2 7, 1999 . Earlier this year, Logan accepted a fund-raising challenge from the J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation of Tulsa, Okla . The Mabee Foundation offered a $45 ,000 donation if Logan raises $600,000 in donations to fund the construction of the college's planned Wellness/Sports Complex. The Mabee challenge deadline also is February 2 7 of next year. Logan has met requirements of challenges from FACE and the Mabee Foundation in the past, and received grants from both organizations. "These prestigious national organi-
zations have honored Logan with their belief in the importance of our mission and their interest in supporting the college's advancement," says Logan President Dr. George A. Goodman . "We hope that everyone who is contacted about these fundraising challenges will give serious consideration to helping us secure the needed matching funds." All Logan graduates will be contacted about the fund-raising challenges during the 1Oth annual Institutional Advancement Phonathon, scheduled to begin this fall. Donald Mclain, Vice President of Institutional Advancement at Logan, will be happy to address any questions related to the challenges or the Wellness/Sports Complex. The Logan Alumni Association recently offered its support to the fund-raising campaign by pledging $20,000 in donations toward construction of the Wellness/Sports Complex .

Doctors at the on-campus Homecoming event on Thursday flocked to participate in a challenging activity, requiring superior communication and listening skills, focused attention, razor-sharp reflexes and strong ki nesthetic sense and coordination. No, it wasn 't a technique seminar. It was Logan 's first "Back-Seat Drivers" contest, featuring a golf cart furnished by Dr. Rodney Small, 1st vice president of the Alumni Association. Alumni participating in the event invited spouses, friends or children to join them as their partners. One member of each two-person team served as the navigator, providing instructions to his or her blind-folded partner as the partner drove the golf cart through a course of orange construction cones in the field behind Logan's Administration Center. Participants were scored on the basis of their success in driving the entire course without knocking over any cones. The winning team was Dr. Gordon Toftness and 1 0-year-old Jordan Snyder, who proved herself most likely to get an "A:' in drivers' ed.
Dr. Rodney Sma ll demonstrated his skills at following directions from his " backseat driver," wife Leslie.
Dr. William Geske and his wife, Doris, made the most of their time on the obstacle course.

Dr. Wittmer Coaches Son to Success as a Weight-Lifter Dr. Michael Wittmer, Associate Professor of Chiropractic Science in Diversified Technique and former national competitor in weight-lifting, is now coaching his son to su ccess in the sport. At age 13, Jeff Wittmer is a two-time U .S. Junior Olympic champion (1997 and 1998) and he has broken two American Junior records . At an international weight-1 ifti ng tournament in Canada in Dr. Wittmer May, Jeff snatched 132 pounds and c lea ned and j erked 165 pounds. H e earned a gold medal for his effort, and both lifts were records for the 101-pound weight class . He was the youngest member of the eight-member U .S. team at the event. "I got Jeff started in lifting two years ago, primari ly for general conditioning," says Dr. Wittmer. "Also, I w anted him to learn proper technique before he got involved in high school sports programs that would invo lve lifting. But he liked it so much that competing seemed to be a good direction for him to go. H e works hard, and he has a lot of talent in th e sport." A w ell -rounded athl ete, Jeff pl ays soccer and baseball and spends an average of one to two hours a day lifting, under th e watchful eye of his dad.
Dr. Wittmer graduated from Logan in 1980 and competed in w eight-lifting for 15 years, on ce finishing second in a national competition . Now, he is happy to have the opportunity to coach his son and help ensure his safety with chiropractic care. " The coaches at the U .S. Olympic Training Facility in Colorado think Jeff has Olympic potential," says Dr. Wittmer. "He has his sights set on 2004. We' ll do everything we can to help him get there." Dr. Wittmer anticipates that Jeff's next competition will be the Missouri Men's State Weight-Lifting Championships, to be held on the Logan campus in November.
j eff Wittmer is believed to have O lympic p otential in weight-lifting.

Barnett has co mpeted in pageants in Missou ri since she w as 1 7 years o ld and has held more than 25 local titl es. " I've found many benefits to competing," says Barnett. " In addition to the incentive to remain phys ica lly fi t, I mu st stay abreast on current issues and develop w ell-thought-out opinions on a wide variety of subj ects in preparati on for the interview porti ons of pageants.

Students Complete Second Long-Distance Bike Ride for Research Thirty-one chiropractic students from five colleges and two doctors of chiropractic biked 1,400 miles during their colleges' August class breaks - and raised money for research in the process. Biking from Springfield, Ill. to Orlando, Fla. in only 15 days, riders participating in the second annuai"Tour de Spine" hoped to contribute $35,000 in sponsorship proceeds to the American Spinal Research Foundation (ASRF) . The Tour de Spine was initiated last year by Logan students and expanded to include other colleges this year. This year's riders represented Logan College; New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls, N.Y.; Northwestern College of Chiropractic in Minneapolis; Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa; and Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Ore. Also among the riders were Dr. Thomas Hyde of North Miami, Fla ., president of the Florida Chiropractic Association; and Dr. Owen Bartruff, who received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Logan on August 8. Also a Logan graduate, Dr. Hyde is a past president of the American Chiropractic Association Council on Sports Injuries and Physical Fitness. Dr. Bartruff initiated and is one of two organizers of the 1997 and 1998 Tour de Spine rides . Along with five other riders - also Logan College students- he participated in the 1997 Tour de Spine, riding from St. Louis to Orlando and helping to raise $12,000 for ASRF. Co-organizer of the 1997 and 1998 Tour de Spine trips is Terri Leap, also a Logan College student. Leap traveled with the team last year by van, providing support and team management, and will do so this year as well. Riders for team Logan this year were Keith A. Duguid, Mary Beth Larson, Brandi Lueken, joshua Stevens, jean Thompson and james Wagner (see box on page 21 ). The student groups from Logan, Northwestern, Pa Imer and Western States colleges left from their respective cities on varying dates, with the riders and drivers of their support vans and trucks meeting in Springfield, Ill. the
Deputy director Tim McNeill of the Illinois Chiropractic Society (a t left, wearing suit) invited area officials to the Illinois State capitol in Springfield, where all of the riders except those from New York Chiropractic College met to begin the trip. At center, Springfield Mayor Karen Hasara presented a proclamation recognizing the Tour de Spine to team manager Terri Leap of Logan. At Mayor Hasara's right is Illinois Rep.

afternoon of August 14 for the official start of the Tour de Spine. (The Western States riders and the two doctors flew to St. Louis to ride to Springfield on August 14 with the Logan students.) This main group of riders met the New York Chiropractic College group - which took a separate route down the Eastern seaboard- in Lake City, Fla. The riders arrived at the Peabody Hotel in Orlando for the start of the Florida Chiropractic Association convention on August 28 . San jose, Cal if.-based ASRF is a nonprofit 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. Funds raised this year by Tour de Spine riders and donated to ASRF will be earmarked for research on chiropractic methods of addressing back pain or other conditions related to the spine, such as headaches. Tour de Spine organizers and riders solicited donation pledges in advanceprimarily from companies selling chiropractic products and equipment. Chiro-
practic colleges, their alumni, other individual chiropractic physicians and chiropractic state associations helped cover expenses of the trip with monetary donations or by providing overnight accommodations for the riders. Logan graduate Dr. juan Nunez of Henderson, Ky. hosted the riders overnighnt in home, along with other area doctors. Each chiropractic college's team of riders was to raise a minimum of $5,000 in sponsorship proceeds. The two doctors constituted a riders' team of their own. Along the way, the riders and their support team participated in events hosted by chiropractic state associations and met state and local government leaders and local chiropractors in numerous towns and cities . A highlight of the trip was an event in Springfield, Ill. on August 14, sponsored by the Illinois Chiropractic Society to celebrate the meeting of the riders from four of the colleges in Springfield and the official start of the trip . National sponsors that supported the 1998 Tour de Spine include BioFreeze, Chattanooga Table, Chiropractic Economics magazine, Gulf Atlantic, National Chiropractic Mutual Insurance Company and Shaklee Nutritional Products.

Logan Students Volunteer Services at Wedding on Chain of Rocks Bridge Not many weddings require dozens of volunteers to direct traffic, answer questions and help guide attendees from one area to another. When Trailnet Inc. of St. Louis decided to publicize its restoration of the old Chain of Rocks Bridge by arranging to have a couple married on the bridge with the wedding open to the public, however, the organization needed volunteers to help . About 55 Logan students, under the leadership of Logan students Curt Sunderlage and Mike Thompson, responded by offering their services for the wedding of Cynthia Rockwood
and Rich Spickler. The Chain of Rocks Bridge is part of old Route 66 connecting North St. Louis County with southern Illinois. The bridge will provide a key link between greenways and the 300 miles of trails now being developed on both sides of the Mississippi River and will be promoted as a tourist attraction. Final construction and permanent opening of the bridge wi II take place in Spring 1999. The Logan students braved extreme heat and humidity, with the heat index for the day at 105 degrees Fahrenheit, to help at the wedding.
The heat held attendance down to about 1,000 people, rather than the 5,000 expected visitors. The event included a parade of 66 classic Corvettes from the bridge to the wedding reception in Pacific, Mo . Some Logan students also helped with parking at the reception . "Trailnet was very complimentary of the professionalism and courtesy of the Logan students," says Sunderlage. "We expect to have more opportunities in the future to volunteer at Chain of Rocks Bridge events. Mike and I hope a lot of students will continue to be interested in helping Trail net."

Logan Students "Blast It Out of Busch" As baseball fans throughout the nation followed St. Louis Cardinal Mark McGwire's journey to a home run record this summer, 25 Logan students had a chance to try their skills at hitting baseballs out of Busch Stadium, home of the Cardinals. No records were broken, but the students enjoyed celebrating the spirit of America's favorite pastime at "B last It Out of Busch," a fund-raiser for SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) Resources, Inc. of St. Louis (see cover of this magazine) . Organizations purchase time on the baseball field in one-hour blocks during "B last It Out of Busch" and send representatives to attempt to hit baseballs out of the stadium . For the third consecutive year, Logan sponsored an hour of time at the event. Each participating student received 10 swings .
