New Medical School Project- A Clinic for Migrant Workers Through the summer and fall, doctors, dentists, nurses , and medical students from the University's School of Medicine and Dentistry spent two evenings a week working under the glare of bare light bulbs in a small clinic with stark white walls at the edge of an apple grove. These volunteers-along with a local pediatrician, public health nurses, a sociology student, and others-operated a free clinic for migrant workers at the Sodoma camp some 17 miles west of Rochester. Under the general direction of the School' s Department of Preventive Medicine and Community Health, the project offered medical care to a group of people who, because of minimal incomes and lack of perm anent homes, had received very little regular medical attention. In addition, the clinic provided new opportunities for teaching, for surveying the special health needs of migrant workers, for conducting a health education program among migrants, and for analyzing the social and psychological setting of disease in this group. Dr. John Radebaugh, project direc tor, and Dr. James Zimmer laid the groundwork and organized medical teams. The clinic proved highly popular with both migrants and volunteers. Out of a camp population of only about 100, some 10 to 12 patients sought-and needed-attention on a typical clinic night. More faculty and students volunteered for the pro ject than could be used. Said Dr. Radebaugh of the experience: "The need of these families for medical care is great-but their greater need is something quite different from what we can do here . They need education not only in matters of health but in basics that will help them break out of this cycle of poverty and ignorance." - D AVID R.

Biographical Sketch Jack Mulqueen, is best known to Chicagoans as an accomplished figure in local television and entertainment. A native Chicagoan, born in 1933 on the city’s South Side, Mulqueen had a passion for the world of entertainment since his childhood. In his youth, Jack was an avid moviegoer and had a passion for performance. After serving in the army in Colorado during the early 1950s, Mulqueen returned to Chicago and entered the world of children’s entertainment. Inspired by other puppeteers, like Burr Tillstrom, Mulqueen began organizing puppet shows and workshops across the city. It is through these puppet shows that Jack met his creative partner and future wife, Elaine Mulqueen. The couple soon formed a puppet show of their own and began to perform full time around Chicago. After experiencing success in the world of puppetry, the Mulqueens transitioned into the world of local Chicago television. The Mulqueens began their television careers on the popular children’s show Bozo’s Circus as reoccurring guests.

  • The Scheduling of Programs Has Become Part of the Children's Television Debate
    The scheduling of programs has become part of the children's television debate. The argument is that stations are scheduling programs in the early morning hours when children are not awake. The data revealed that this is not the predominant trend in the scheduling practices of independent stations. Ofthe 322 children's educational and informational programs broadcast per week, only ten programs (3.1 %) were broadcast prior to 6 AM. In other words 96.9% of the programs were aired at 6 AM or later. Further analysis indicates that 70 programs (21 %) were broadcast before 7 AM. Accordingly, approximately 80% ofthe programs broadcast by independent stations aired at 7 AM or later. 2. Educational Specials: Apart from regularly scheduled 30 minute programs, there have been significant increases in the number of educational specials appearing on independent television stations. These specials can be either 30 minutes or sometimes an hour in length. During the first quarter of 1990, independent stations broadcast 19.5 hours of educational specials. The number ofeducational specials broadcast during the first quarter of 1994 tripled, amounting to 63.5 hours. (See Exhibit D.) With respect to scheduling, all of the educational specials broadcast during the period were aired after 7 AM. Indeed, the most popular time periods for these specials were between the hours of 11 AM and 5 PM. - 8- Importantly, a significant number of these specials were produced locally by the stations themselves.
