ENROLLMENT, from pg. l-
of ihc students receive some type
of financial assistance.
A program called
A.C.C.E.S.S. gives prospective
students the opportunity to ex-
plore certain aspects of Texas
Wesleyan. The program in-
cludes spending the night in a
residence hall hosted by a current
student, a personal admission
interview, appointments with a
faculty member in the area of
academic interest, a financial aid
forum to discuss eligibility for
financial aid awards and a tour of
the campus by a Wesleyan stu-
dent.
Transfer students arc eli-
gible for the transfer scholarship
program. Wesleyan initiated this
program to expand aid to those
students who transfer with less
than 60 hours. For students with
0-15 cred/. hours, the university
considersh.j,^ school transcripts
as part of the admission process.
The enrollment increase
coincides with the university’s
goals as outlined in the Institu-
tional Plan adopted by the board
of trustees at the April 1992
meeting.
According to the plan, by
the year 2000, Texas Wesleyan
intends to attract 1,800 students
to the university, with a full-time
undergraduate equivalent of at
least 1,500 students, with a goal
of minority representation re-
flective of that found in the Fort
Worth community, and with a
significant international popula-
tion.
Another goal is to increase
the on-campus resident popula-
tion to at least 500 students. Cur-
rently, 279 students reside on
campus.

KALEIDOSC
Special to The Rambler
From the Kaleidoscope Organization
Kaleidoscope salutes the Wesleyan students who responded to the call for volunteers from Camp Pire.
Sylvia Otto, systems coordinator for Camp Fire, called requesting volunteers to care for children
during training sessions for the Parents and Providers as Partners workshops.
Through its Campaign for Children, this program has received funding for a multi-million dollar
national research/training center and child care lab school. The school will shape the future of national
child care by developing and testing new training programs for child care providers and support services
for working parents.
The campaign is on the leading edge of efforts to create systemic change in the way America cares
for its Children. Sylvia’s daughter, Allison, is a student at Wesleyan and was instrumental in recruiting
volunteers for the first of six training sessions needing volunteer services.
Other camp fire volunteers include Jamie Ballard, Meredith Mallonee, Mary Elizabeth Rivers and
Courtney Simmons.
Join those who have become a part of this exciting new program, and give a few hours to further the
quality of child care. Call Suzanne or Jennifer at 5314210.
For those who are not familiar with Kaleidoscope, it is an umbrella organization with the purpose of
collaborating and facilitating community service among Wesleyan students. It is one of the main programs
developed through the FIPSE grant (a federal grant to promote alcohol and other drug education and
prevention) which was awarded to Texas Wesleyan last fall.

CANCER,FROM PG. 1
icy room where the doctors per-
med a sonogram on his chest.
: tumor showed up on the
logram, but because it was lo-
ed right over the aorta vein, the
:tors thought it was an
lurism.
“So they instantly put me on
operating table and rushed me
3 surgery,” said Hale.
What the doctors found was
nalignant tumor that was six
itimeters in diameter and 10
itimeters in length. It was di-
losed as lymphoma.
Both Hale and Dollar under-
nt chemotherapy treatments,
le was put on three-week cycles
reauncni He would go to che-
thcrapy treatments at Baylor
spital one day a week for two
eks and then take a week off from
treatments to give his body time
corporate.
"When you’re doing chemo-
therapy it really drains you,” said
Hale. His last treatment was on Dec.
30, and he is feeling better now.
Although the lymphoma is gone, he
must have regular semi-annual
checkups“probably forever,'”he said
Dollar has been through 19
chemotherapy treatments and is
currently involved in an aggres-
sive treatment program at M.D.
Anderson Cancer Center in Hous-
ton, Texas.
“I’ve had some difliculty in the
last month or two with some fluid
build-uparoundmylung,”but other
than that and the chemotherapy
treatments. Dollar said she is feel-
ing well.
Her doctors plan to continue
trying different treatments al though
ovarian cancer is one of the most
difficult forms to treat.
“From the beginning of this,
I’ve had the altitude that I’m going
to fight this disease,” said Dollar.
And to do so, she has learned that it
is important for a patient to get
involved. She advises others who
are in the same situation to be a part
of the decision-making process,
not only by learning as much as
possible about the disease but also
by being assertive with the doctors.
Her faith has also been an impor-
tant tool in fighting the disease.
Hale advises, “If s really impor-
tant not lo try and face it by yourself.
It’s really important to have other
people around you."
Dr. Dollar and Dr. Hale are
thankful for the comfort and sup-
port they have received from the
Wesleyan community. "It’s just
been campus-wide. Everybody
has done so much to support me
and my family," said Dollar.
“I just pray that through this
experience, it will count for
something, that some good will
come from it," said Dollar.
