Pane! silent
on its study
of Fischel
Confusion surrounds
evaluation results
By Kevin O'Brien
Missoorian staff writer
The state blue- ribbo- n panel of
medical experts Friday held a press
conference to say they had nothing
to say.
Concluding a whirlwind two- da- y
evaluation of the Ellis Fischel State
Cancer Hospital, the panel post-poned
announcement of its expected
recommendation on the hospital's
future.
Nearly SO representatives of the
hospital, local medical community
and the state Department of Social
Insight
Services crowded into a first- flo- or
hospital conference room expecting
to hear the panel's decision. But that
remains a mystery.
Confusion surrounded the panel's
non- announcem- ent, and it was un-clear
whether the panel had even
reached a decision.
" We have had only two days," Dr.
R. Lee Clark, panel member and
president emeritus of the University
of Texas Systems Cancer Center,
said. " Our evaluation is a very cur-sory
one in comparison to the review
activities that have gone on in the
past"
However, other statements indi-cated
that a recommendation had
been reached but would remain un-announced
until the panel received
approval from the Bond administra-tion.
" Our recommendation will be-mads
public as soon as the governor
has a chance to review it," Clark
said. " It depends on what the gover-nor
wants; what kind of report he
wants."
Gov. Christopher Bond, who was
in Washington, D. C., during the pan-el's
visit, will confer with the group
by telephone and probably issue a
statement within the next week, Dr.
Mohammad Akhter, director of the
state Division of Health, said.
The panel was charged with re-viewing
the Fischel situation ard
identifying alternatives for presen-tation
to the governor and other key
officials.
" Our responsibility is to him ( Gov.
Bond), and not anyone else," Clark
said.
As for the more than 700 patients
to be treated this year by the hospi-tal,
its medical and administrative
staff, and the citizens of Columbia
they will have to wait for the an-nouncement
from Jefferson City.
rhe panel had four options:
1. Recommending an increase in
state aid to the hospital, coupled
with legislation enabling the hospital
to recoup a sizeable portion of the in-come
it generates from insurance
and third- part- y payments. Current-ly,
all of the hospital's income in ex-cess
of the state- appropriat- ed level
is returned to the state's general
revenue fund, not the hospital.
2. Recommending no state funding
and closing the facility.
3. Recommending that the Univer-sity
Medical Center administer the
hospital. The cancer hospital would

World leaders gather
to mourn Sadat's death
CAIRO, Egypt ( UPI) - Leaders of
the Western world, past and present,
arrived in Cairo Friday for what Is-raeli
Prune Minister Menachem Be-gin
called the day " of our darkest
dreams" the funeral of slain
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat.
Extending an emotional embrace,
President- designat- e Hosm Mubarak
greeted Begin, who defied an assas-sination
threat to attend the funeral.
An extraordinary American dele-gation
including three former presi-dents,
Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford
and Richard Nixon, and the man who
Sadat made famous to Egyptians as
" my fnend Henry" former Secre-tary
of State Kissinger also arrived
Friday.
The US. delegation was led by
Secretary of State Alexander Haig,
who paid a call on Mubarak and
plans to stay after the funeral for
more serious Mideast talks
Security, which slipped Tuesday
when distracted bodyguards failed to
save Sadat from four Moslem assas-sins,
was extremely tight. Army sap-pers
with mine detectors combed the
sands along the funeral route, which
is guarded by hundreds of troops.
One of several groups claiming re-sponsibility
for Sadat's assassination
said in Beirut Thursday it would kill
Begin and several other dignitaries
it refused to name
Mubarak, scheduled to be installed
as president after a national referen-dum
Tuesday, warned he would tol- -
erate no public disorder and said
" the Asyut incidents are finished "
Cairo itself was eerily quiet on the
second day of a four- da- y Moslem hol-iday
but police were posted around
mosques in case fundamentalists ag-itating
for an Iran- typ- e theocracy
try to stage banned demonstrations
Interviewed by Barbara Walters
on ABC World News Tonight, Sadat's
widow Jihan said she always ex-pected
that someday her husband
would die a violent death
" I expected him to be killed. He
was too outspoken But my husband,
he never expected it He would not
wear his bullet- pro- of vest because he
thought it wasn't manly "
Mrs. Sadat said she tried to reach
her husband when he was shot but a
security guard pulled her down " My
husband knew it was happening His
last word was ' No ' '" she said
" In our darkest dreams it would
never have occurred to us that one
day we should come to Cairo in such
circumstances," Begin said upon ar-rival.
Sadat, his body still resting at the
armed forces hospital, will be buned
next to the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier, barely 400 yards ( 360 me-ters)
from the spot where he was
gunned down while reviewing a mili-tary
parade Tuesday
The government has discounted
the claims of various groups that
took responsibility for the assassina-tion,
saying the gunmen were four

Moslem fanatics who acted alone
Disclosing more details of the
deed, the Defense Ministry released
the full name of the leader of the as-sassins,
who were wounded and cap-tured
A spokesman said army Lt
Khaled Ahmed Shawki Al- Islamb- ouli
planned the attack becausehe was
" blinded by black grudge" following
the arrest of his brother in a crack-down
on Moslem militants last
month
Sadat's simple funeral, the cere-mony
greatly curtailed because of
security risks, is to begin at 2 a m.
CDT with private prayers for his
widow Jinan and other family mem-bers
at a mosque near the hospital
From there, Sadat's body will be
flown by helicopter to the parade
ground where ironically he faced his
own grave moments before he was
shot. The body will be placed on a
gun carnage and followed by the as-semblage
of presidents, prime min-isters,
kings and princes in a solemn
900- ya- rd ( 810- mete- r) procession to
the tomb
President Reagan and Vice Presi-dent
Bush will not attend because of
the security risk.
" There can be no finer memorial
to Anwar El- Sada- t," Haig said upon
his arrival, " than to bring to the
Middle East a full and comprehen-sive
peace "
1111 Curators approve pay raises
By Sara Foley and Brad Lehman
Missouriaa staff writers
The University Board of Cura-tors
Friday approved mid- ye- ar
wage and salary increases for fac-ulty,
administration and support
staff.
Included in the wage package
was a dental coverage plan for
University employees.
The wage plan, which will take
effect in January, provides for a 3
to 5 percent salary and wage pool
for faculty and administrative- profession- al
staff in each department,
from which ment salary increases
would be provided
The wage pool represents 3 to 5
percent of a department's current
salary budget
Support staff secretarial, cler-ical,
custodial and stalled workers
will be eligible for at least 5 per
cent raises.
University President James C.
Olson said that even though the
raises are modest, they are essen-tial
to make the University's sala-ries
competitive with other schools
and private business.
" Without the raises, the Univer-sity
drops to the bottom in average
salary among Big Eight and Big

Forestry division on probation
By Scott dark
Missourian staff writer
For the first time in 31 years, the
University's nationally recognized
forestry program has not received
its 10- ye- ar accreditation from the
Society of American Foresters.
The society limited the forestry
division of the School of Forestry,
Fisheries and Wildlife to a five- ye- ar
" probationary" accreditation
because of uncompetitive senior
Accreditation held to 5 years
faculty salaries and inadequate
building facilities, school director
Don Duncan announced at Fri-day's
annual meeting of the
school's advisory council
He could have said, " I told you
so."
In 1976, Duncan warned that
those problems could result in the
school's losing its accreditation A
$ 8 million forestry building then
proposed never was built.
The division must report to the
accreditation board m five years
on efforts to correct the deficien-cies,
Duncan said.
" But we have a good, strong pro-gram,"
he added. " I don't think

I have today accepted his resignatioi.
I as administrator of Boone Hospital
Center, ' Board Chairman Jack
Estes said. " We wish him well as he
goes on to probably one of the top 10
hospitals in this country."
Poll said he had not been looking
for a new job, but he considers the
move important to his career.
" An opportunity came along that I
simply could not refuse," Poll said.
" A good opportunity for a position m
a Missouri hospital and that is what
led to this decision."
Poll said his responsibilities at the
1,208- be- d Barnes Hospital will be
similar to his work in Columbia. He
will report directly to the president
of the hospital and will be responsi-ble
to the lS- memb- er Board of Direc-tors.

the last four years to Poll's lead--
