Diabetic Student Receives Medical
Attention in Front of Campus Inn
STUDENT

diabetic episode in front ofthe
Campus Inn, onlookers and
Campus Safety intervened

PhilBradem, a 36-year-old student, survived a diabetic attack in
front of the C.I. on Friday, Sept. 9
at 11:00 a.m. when Campus Safety officers summoned an ambulance and Bradem was given
prompt medical attention.
During the attack, Bradem
went to the CI, but was unable to
communicate his need for sugared
water, which stops a diabetic attack, to the woman at the check-in
counter due to a symptomatic loss
of common sense brought on by
the attack:
"It was embarrassing," said
ttraaem.
"It feels like a strobe light isa
going on and off. I've heard some
people say just take some sugar,
but you lose common sense.    I
started saying, T gotta eat. I gotta
eat.'   It wasn't her (unidentified

worker in the C.I.) fault. She
didn't understand. I didn't mean
to be belligerent," said Bradem.
Campus Safety was called on
the scene by Rick Cordell, Media
Center Coordinator, when he noticed Bradem's uncharacteristic
behavior.
Corporal Ed Zeronis and Officer Yvette Zendejas responded
to the call.
"When we got there he was
slouched over on the steps. We
didn'tknow what was wrong. We

Officer Ed Zeronis
tried to get him some sugared
water. It was lemonade. Rick
Cordell went in to get the lemonade. He (Bradem) was in and out
of consciousness- incoherent. I've
been around diebetics before. I
know they need sugar to get their
system going. Rick brought back
what he thought was the best thing.
They didn't have sugared water,"
stated Zeronis.
Bradem was transported to the
hospital by the ambulance that
arrived on the scene.
He was recovering at home by
that same night with his two daughters, Bianca, 10, and Ruby, 9.
"I feel like I don't want to go
to the hospital. I know they don't
want to deal with a cry baby," said
Bradem. "Doctors have to understand we don't want to wake up in
the hospital."
"If anybody ever sees me, and
they start talking to me, and I'm
all doped out, give me some sugar, half sugar and half water," Bradem requested.
"The body doesn't know the
difference between sugars, brown
or white. Sugar will calm anybody down. I carry a glucose
solution in my pocket, but when I
lose common sense during the attack, I can't get to it," explained
Bradem.
Bradem is at Whittier College
as a first year student and is a
Child Development major. Med-
iCal assists him in making a
$50,000 payment on kidney dialysis.
"One out of 3.68 Hispanics
will get diabetes. Women and the
overweight are also especially
prone," stated Bradem.
Bradem is on the waiting list
for a kidney transplant.

Committee Discusses
Possible Changes,
Improvements to CI

A Food Service Committee,
formed late last year, is working
toward a Nov. 1 deadline for proposed suggestions for improvements to the College's current food
service.
Formed initially as a temporary entity to find a replacement
for retiring C.I. director Bud Tho-
rup, the Committee, which consists of select faculty, students and
administrators, met thrice this summer and has convened twice during this academic year.
Topics discussed so far include
the following: a job description
for future bids on the position of
CI. director, a process by which
the Committee can effectively
gather student input and inform
the community of any planned
changes, and a change in food ser
vice philosophy so as to promote
a friendly, helpful, healthful atmosphere.
Dean of Students Susan Allen,
a member ofthe Committee, mentioned that the student portion of
the Committee was composed of
students of both genders at varying class levels and in different
residential situations so as to represent a broad spectrum of the
Whittier College student community.
Annalee Paulo, senior, and a
student member of the Food Service Committee, noted that student concerns were given significant emphasis by the committee.
"My experience with the administrators and faculty (on the
Committee) has been that they're
genuinely interested in what the
students have to say.  They are
