The Panama Canal fulfilled man's dreams of a short route to the Pacific ports from the Atlantic Ocean. Richard Keigly, a native of Pan- ama, fulfilled BCC's need for a Geoli ogy teacher when he responded to their calling. We have only one major store, one high school, and one college in the Panama Canal, said Keigly. Every- thing there is government operated. The canal is run by the Panama City Company and 10011 of the stock is owned by the Secretary of Army who supposedly operates it. The Panama Canal is a ten by fifty mile strip, and a territory of the U. S. The treaty between the two countries, gives the Panamanians sovereignty and perpetuity. However there is a lot of controversy going on in Panama over whether the U. S. should have the right to sovereignty over land belong- ing to another country forever, said Keigly. Richard Keigly was born in the Canal Zone but left there after high school because, the college was not known for its high academic standing but tended toward vocational appren- ticeshipf' He attended Stetson, Flor- ida State and University of Wyoming. I find life in the U. S. far more hectic than in the Panama Canal. Since the Canal is government controlled you don't have to worry about prices because everything is lower. The medi- cal expenses are so cheap, they might as well be free. Once l broke my hand and had to have it reset and it cost me all of l3l7.00. Mr. Keigly finds the wall to I 'iii I if i Q O Oli!!! Iii!! D Q if U ICQ!!! wall people in the U. S. rather unpleas ant at times in comparison with the 50,000 population in Panama. Panama is completely differen from the U. S., said Keigly. lt is: socialist country and has a few ricl people and a whole lot of poor people The people who are poor usually farm earning anywhere from 30 to 40 cent a day. The people in the Republic art very different being culturally Blacl Latin Americans. The Panamanians art far more emotional than American and this can be refreshing but some times carried away. Before coming to BCC, Keigly wa interning at Tallahassee lr. Collegl when his advisor, a parachute jumper broke his hip and Keigly had to tak over the class for the remaining quar 3 ST ........... ter.

H .-- Q s... -s .n -545.0 s 'gn-' When questioned on the percent- age of patients returning to the Institu- ltion, Mrs. West replied, Many of our laatients do come back. But mental ill- l ess is like a cardiac problem. You go n for an immediate cardiac attack, nd you may return to your home. j But if you're placed in another stressful situation you may have to re- turn to the hospital on an emergency basis. So we don't look at a patient as being forever cured. They get better and regroup, so to speak, and then go back and function in the community. 1 lf the community is a stressful situation and it doesn't provide for ltheir needs, they will return to the hospital. This doesn't disturb me. I don't believe it disturbs too many peo- ple. The state hospital is like a first aid station where the patient can come back and receive support and kreatment and then go back to the community again. After being in a mental institution the patients records clearly show it. Some places will not accept former patients of mental institutions, said Mrs. West. 'LMany patients feel they cannot be truthful about their former illness or the job will be turned down, and this is often true. These people, depending on what job it is, can function quite well and should be given the opportunity by the community. lf you don't give them a chance they are always going to be in the State Hospital. And of course the more they are in the hospi- tal the more they are on the taxpayers role. There are many different signs of an emotional breakdown in a person. According to Mrs. West a person may become very withdrawn and isolated. He may perform in a bizarre fashion or stay in his room all day. The person may be extremely nervous and afraid. Or to the people around him there might seem to be a sudden change in behaviour, though the process has been going on over a period of time. There are two types of patients, replied Mrs. West. There are those that withdraw and refuse to communi- cate, and those that seem to confront you and want to talk to you about everything. I don't feel uncomfortable around those that don't communicate because there are other ways to ex- press yourself than verbally. A nurse working with the mentally ill should not be overly anxious, but wait for a response from the patient. Most patients are not actively but subtly hostile, said Mrs. West. Those that are actively hostile are controlled by medication. Getting to know the patient and how he will react to you is the most important thing. You have to know when you're causing too much anxiety and making the patient uncomfort- able, and why the anxiety is being caused.

ln Geology l try to teach my stu- lents to understand our earth, to under- tand what they see and how beautiful :all is so perhaps they'll become more onservative minded, said Keigly. This is especially important in South 'lorida where a lot of people are con- erned about the future water supply. 'he destroying of the Everglades and ll the newly constructed canals could xtremely damage Florida's water sup- ly. H Keigly feels the biggest danger of ollution is in people's reliance on fechnology to pull them out of the lroblems they cause. There's going to we a time, and it may not be too far in fie future that man will go past the loint that our present technology can Ive, said Keigly. I think the problem is getting lretty bad when Los Angeles has llarms in the schools that ring when he pollution level gets too high and he students must run to the class- boms and remain inside. I think the problem's getting pretty bad when Los Angeles has alarms in the schools that ring when the pollution level gets too high, and the students must run to the classrooms and remain inside. l i Q 0 Q Q Q Q I O I 0 0 U Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q 0 Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q 0 O O O O O 0 Q O Q Q Q Q Q 0 Q 0 Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q 0 Q g.g.g.g.q.g i.l.l.l.i'l Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q l O 0 l ECOLOGY NOW!
