Sports With a 4-3 and 10-3 double baseball victory over cross-town rival Butler U. on May 3, Indiana Central clinched its first alltonference title since join- ing the Indiana Collegiate Conference in 1970, even though we do not participate in swimming. Following those victories, the Grey- hounds went on to gain a tie for second place in baseball with St. Joseph's College. Other sports action went like this: Lead by five individual champions, the Greyhound grapplers nailed down their third conference title in the last five years with a 135 1/2 point team total in conference action this spring. Closest challenger to the IC team was Wabash with 122 points. Valpa- raiso finished third with 88 1/2, Evans- ville fourth with 86, and DePauw fifth with 53 1/2. Individual IC winners were Bruce Jones at 126 Ibs., iunior Joe Myers at 134 Ibs., 150 Ib. senior Jeff Ray- bourn, Mark Dullaghan, a 167 Ib. iunior, and freshman heavyweight Tom Zupancic. Plagued with injuries for most of the season, Coach Weatherald's wrestlers struggled through a 7-5 season. For- tunately, everything seemed to fall into place about conference time. Coach Jerry England's track squad finished a strong second in the ICC track meet hosted and won by Val- paraiso U. on April 26. They then topped off a successful season with a convincing victory at the Little State Championship the following week over conference champs Valpo. New school records set in competi- tion this season include: Shot put (54'1 E'') by Jerry Allgood, Discus (150') by Mark Reiff, I.M.

Dave Hilton Takes Medicine To Honduras "Many of the patients broke down and wept because they were so grate- ful. It was very difficult for us to leave." These were the words of alumnus Dr. David Hilton '53 of Menomonie after a mission of mercy to Honduras last De- cem ber. He was accompaned by his son, Ben, a iunior at Menomonie High, and Dr. and Mrs. Bruce W. Trimble, of Menom- onie. The quartet left Friday, December 13, for Miami, FL, where they were ioined by 16 other persons from throughout the country who are trained in the medical profession. The following day the contingent embarked by plane for Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. On Sunday, the group from Meno- monie, along with several other persons, traveled by bus to the mountain village of Manzaragua, located about 90 miles southeast of Tegucigalpa. Dr. Hilton remained here until Thursday afternoon seeing patients. The excursion was sponsored by the Christian Medical Society with the Med- ical Group Missions, an arm of the society, organizing the trip. Dr. Hilton said MGM organizes about 10 to 15 such trips annually, mostly to Central American countries. While Manzaragua is identified on the map, Dr. Hilton said the only build- ing in the village is a school and when the medical team arrived Sunday afternoon, lines of patients were already waiting. The country of Honduras attracted national publicity earlier in the year when it was struck by a hurricane but Dr. Hilton explained that Tegucigalpa and the mountain villages were out of the storm area. However, he said, evi- dence of the hurricane was noted in Tegucigalpa where mud slides off the mountains wiped out homes. Dr. Hilton reports the team worked with the Honduran Red Cross which made the physical arrangements and provided support personnel. The Honduran Red Cross, he said, determined that the mountain villages had more medical needs than other sections of the country because a vast majority of the people had never con- sulted a medical doctor or a dentist. He said a hospital is located in Te- Dave Hilton gucigalpa but a resident of Manzaragua desiring to visit a doctor in that fa- cility would need to spend $10 for a round-trip ticket via truck, then stand in line from eight to ten hours to receive an appointment three months from now. The number of doctors in Tegucigalpa is inadequate to serve the entire popu- lation, said Dr. Hilton, and one needs to be a member of the "upper class" to receive immediate attention. "Because of these conditions," he said. "very few residents of the mountain villages had ever been to a doctor." "We took medical supplies with us," he continued. "'I collected medicine from drug companies and salesmen and also purchased some supplies. Dr. Trim- ble did the same thing." Dr. Hilton spent from Sunday afternoon to Thursday in Manzaragua and Friday morning in Guinope visiting patients. (Dr. Trimble, after spending a couple of days in Manzaragua, finished his tour in Guinope.) During his stay in Honduras, Dr. Hil- ton estimates he saw about 200 patients per day and "100 percent of them had worms." In addition, he said, there was a lot of arthritis from hard work and a fair amount of malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies. "All our patients had very bad teeth which had been destroyed by decay," said Dr. Hilton. While no accurate count was kept, it is estimated that Dr. Trim- ble performed 500 extractions while in Honduras. (He brought his own supply of novocaine with him.) Dr. Trimble's dental chair was a lawn chair propped up on a couple of boxes. There wasn't any electricity, said Dr. Hilton, and Dr. Trimble's only source of artificial light was a battery-operated head set. The team worked in the school house and Dr. Hilton said he examined patients from 8 a.m. to 5-6 p.m. daily. He said he was assisted by three nurses who obtained case histories. Spanish is the native language and Dr. Hilton doesn't speak the language so patients related their "problems" through interpreters. The total team included the quartet from Menomonie, three nurses, another nurse who with her husband are mis- sionaries in the Dominican Republic and her three children, two ladies from the Honduran Red Cross, and five high school students from Tegucigalpa. The three children, ages eight, ten and twelve, served as interpreters. Dr. Hilton's son and the five high school students worked as helpers (in military terms, they were support personnel, said Dr. Hilton), and they be- came very good friends, although they had problems communicating. "One of Ben's prime responsibilities," said Dr. Hilton, was to draw prepared medicine from a gallon lug with a syr- inge and give each patient a 'shot in the mouth' for worms." The Menominie delegation also slept in a school house and ate their meals in a private home. "We didn't have any drinking water so every time we were thirsty we ate an orange." said Dr. Hilton. The natives, he added, obtain their drinking water from a small creek which is also utilized for washing clothes and a watering spot for cattle. Dr. Hilton described the natives in the mountain villages as "subsistence farmers"-they raise sufficient crops to survive-and the principal foods are beans and tortillas (corn cake). They also raise rice, bananas and oranges and some farmers have a couple of cows, a burro and a few chickens. He (Continued on page 17) 11
