A long negotiation process supported by your letters, legislative pressure, unfaining resolve of the faculty and our hard-working steering committee persuaded the Chancellor that disestablishment would not be in the best interest of the University. The settlement did keep the School together, however, at a considerable cost. We are forced to give up 8 FTE to the new School of Public Policy who will have full, split or joint appointments. Our budget will be cut approximately 25% over the next three years, resulting in a futher loss of 6 FTE. There will be a Department of Health Policy in the School of Public Policy, but (for the time being) they will only be able to offer an undergraduate degree. We see this as a major threat to our Department of Health Services in our School. The best and final offer by the Chancellor was "accepted" by the faculty in the School of Public Health by a vote of 84%, with 52% of this group voting with reservations, comments or suggestions against the settlement. the Chancellor's office. It has been a long process, but our School remains intact. As Mervyn Susser noted in the Nov 1993 AJPH editorial, ... other Schools, be prepared, for the bell may tool for thee. =========================================================== ============== #42 Date: Thu, 3 Feb 1994 10:09:04 -0600 From: "\"Wayne" Subject: Faculty Perks From: Wayne E.

This is a collection of posters that address issues related to HIV/AIDS, safer sex, prevention, transmission, testing, services, etc. We are gathering a variety of posters from as many different sources as possible, reflecting different approaches to getting messages out to different groups in different languages. The display is used to promote discussion and thought about messages that work, don't work, speak to particular individuals or groups, challenge, provoke emotion, etc. We need your help. Could you: 1. Send us one each of posters that you use on your campus? (We have the America Responds to AIDS and New York State freebies, but we probably don't have anything else that you use.) If it would help, we will gladly reimburse you for your expense--just let us know/ 2. Suggest organizations that we should contact about adding to our collection? (We have GMHC, HERO, and IMPACT AIDS posters and would appreciate any other suggestions, addresses, phone numbers, catalogs.) This project will be described fully in a final report that will be submitted to ACHA in March. I will be happy to share it with you in exchange for your posters. Please help us make this as diverse a collection as possible. We hope to have as many posters as possible by the end of February. With thanks, Sharon J.

He had attended the International Conference on Healthy Communities last month in San Francisco where SimHealth was demonstrated as an adaptation of SimSoc (for simulated society, the earliest sociological simulation) for making medical care allocation decisions for a population. Bob's observation was that "We don't let airline pilots fly without simulation exercises; why do we let health educators practice in communities without simulation experience?" We agreed to work toward such a computer simulation as an extension of the software we are now completing with Marshall Kreuter, but it will be awhile before we finish this version of EMPOWER software (acronym for Expert Methods of Planning and Organizing Within Everyone's Reach") Its an application of the PRECEDE-PROCEED model to health education planning for breast cancer, soon to be converted to a more generic "EMPOWER Generator" to allow users to create applications to other health issues or community health planning problems.

I would like to hear from people who have provided such hours. Any advice is welcomed--and needed. Some questions I have are: What should we make sure to do, and what should we make sure NOT to do? Do you ask participants to pay fees directly to you, or to the organization holding the event? If there is such a thing, what is the simplest procedure to follow at the event? From the participants' standpoint, what did you like about how the process was handled, and what could the provider have done better? Finally, if you have any forms you developed related to this system I would appreciate your sending/faxing them to me. If anyone is interested in learning about upcoming conferences where contact hours will be awarded in WV, let me know. This semester's events are the Midwest District AAPHERD conference in 2 weeks, a Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Conference in April, the annual State Health Education Council's Conference in April,&a Wellness Conference in May.

The theory is that if somebody sends something through the listserv, it is intended to be sent to all individuals. An example might be Robert Anderson's discussion on the CHES providers hours. That is a legitimate use of the listserv. Where I believe the big problem is is when people use the listserv (hedir@siucvmb.siu.edu) for personal messages. There's not much I can do to prevent that..however I have been doing the following: Anytime I receive a message from the hedir@siucvmb.siu.edu (or the listserv) that is a personal message, I immediately send a message to the person that has sent it indicating that they have improperly used the system. It may be that they are unaware that they sent it to everybody. Because I have little control on who uses the hedir@siucmv.siu.edu address, there's not much I can do to prevent these "needless" messages from being sent to you. I would encourage everybody to talk to their computer operations specialist...I believe there are ways that you can eliminate such messages. I believe that most of the hedir@siucvmb.siu.edu messages have been sent in good faith, and that the occassional good humor statements are acceptable. Remember, this system is less than 8 weeks old...it's going to take some time. If somebody would like to take this system over, please let me know (at my private address ga3748@siucvmb.siu.edu). As far as Ben Williamson's request, he'll be dropped from the email directory effective March 1, 1994, and effective February 14, 1994 he'll be dropped from the listserv subscriber list. Now, Ben, it may take a couple days for all the messages to be cleared--so give it until Wednesday or so. If there's somebody more familiar with how such messages can be eliminated/ reduced, please let me know.

There seems to be some confusion among some of our members. You cannot use the automatic reply key on your terminal when you receive a listserv mailing to write to one particular person. You must compose a new note and send it to that particular person using his/her particular address. God forbid we start a flame war over this!!!! I'm sure we will all get it sooner or later.

Perhaps people are not aware of that or think it's nice to have everyone see their answer. I think it's a safe assumption that when someone puts out a call or question, only they want the answer. Maybe this would be a worthwhile reminder for folks - and perhaps it means NOT using the direct "reply" function. Depends on the editor on your system. Mine has a query "send to all?" I mean for this to go only to you but I'm not sure how it will work, it might go to everyone. Karen Glanz On Sat, 12 Feb 1994, Mark J.

Even though only one preson makes a request, many more people may be interested in the same information. On another list I subscribe to Õteaching in psychologyþ this is a problem because the replies have gone for the most part only to the requestor when there are many other persons interested in the same topic. The alternate solution is for the requestor to post a summary of all replies but this means that the requestor has to understand his/her system well enough to capture and edit the replies and then send them back to the list.

I very much agree that many of the questions and responses have been interesting, and I would not want to limit the use of the system, other than that the issues outside of health education could be discussed individually, person-to-person. Therefore, might it be appropriate to suggest to Mark that along the HEDIR, a listing of health education professionals could be maintained so that they could be contacted when needed. There might be times when anyone taking a longer period off work might also want to take time off otherwise. Sabbatical is one example. Individuals who do not like to receive daily messages via the HEDIR could be accessible via a listing at the end of the directory. Names could also be switched to the active part of HEDIR. Might this serve as a solution to those who like to be connected but find the daily contact cumbersome?

As his own instructions on an earlier note explained, in order to write to an individual, one must use that person's address, otherwise everyone gets the note! Maybe Mark will want to post that note again. One suggestion--a few weeks ago I purchased a book titled, "Internet for Dummies"; it explains the Internet in plain English, and includes a discussion of LISTSERV, which is what Mark so kindly developed for us health educators.
