Kubler-Ross talks
on death and dying
ByLeahPerich
THECOLLEGIAN
S£
This week, the first speaker of
this semester's University Lecture
Series will tackle one of the world's
most serious subjects — death and
dying.
Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross,who
is well-known for her contributions
in helping people understand and
accept death, will start off the lec¬
ture series Wednesday in the North
Gym. With a medical degree from
University of Zurich, a long list
of positions held and nine books to
her credit, Ross is considered a
ground-breaker in the field of deal¬
ing with death and dying.
Her most famous book, "On
Death and Dying," published in
1969, has been translated into a
dozen languages and earned her
international success.
One passage from the book dem¬
onstrates her views: "Finally, we
may achieve peace — our own in¬
ner peace as well as peace between
nations*— by facing and accepting
the reality of our own death."
ULS Director Susan Vasquez
said Ross is probably most known
lor her "in-depth research" with the
terminally ill. Before Ross there
was little or no information to help
the terminally ill come to terms
with dying. Vasquez explains Ross*
attitude about this as "not to treat
the terminally ill as [though] they
are already dead.".
This subject may be what the
doctor is most known for but is
certainly not the only subject of
dying she has covered. According
to other information on her, Ross
has "also been a prime mover in the
field of hospice care and serves on
the advisory board of many hos¬
pice organizations in the United
States?" This work is to help "get
people out of the hospital and back '
at home," Vasquez said.
Ross has also done research and
written .books on adults and chil¬
dren dying of cancer and AIDS.
These works are also to help people
deal with death, and also the loss
after a death. Vasquez said Ross'
work to help people deal with death
is "timely, especially now with
AIDS and children with AIDS"
As a writer, she has received
much success and as a speaker,
Vasquez said Ross is both dynamic
and energetic.

Psychiatric patient
wants to be sheriff
By Dipan Mann

"I want to hold a press confer¬
ence exclusively for The Colle¬
gian," said Curtis Thornton as he
walked into The Collegian office
around 6 p.m. Feb. 17, "and for¬
mally announce that I am going to
run for Sheriff of Fresno county."
As it later became evident,
Thornton had escaped from a local
psychiatric hospital, Cedar Vista,
the day before and had been talking
about his intention to "show the old
fogies what he could do."
He had been admitted to the
hospital two weeks prior after it
was discovered that he was in a

real attraction is the club atmo-
Despite rumors of going belly-
u p, there is still one place in Fresno

rock acts to brighten our gloomy,
bucolic Valley days.
The Cadillac Club/at 2731

With nationally-known record¬
ing artists as well as local bands
including Circus Bogus and'
Morbus, the Cadillac Club is also
home to the areas thrashers.
Along with Club* Fred, this is
Fresno's best venue for live rock.
- The atght spot claims to have <
the Valley's best sound system and
sphere that makes any show that
much nicer.
No reserved seating, no huge
PA systems getting in the way of
the stage, no .sound desk in the
middle of the floor.
