In my opinion, when Dr.Orval Hidde receivednotice in August 1974from the United StatesOffice of Education thattheCouncilonChiropracticEducation (CCE) hadreceived recognition bythe Secretary of Education,

the chiropractic profession experienced itsgreatest achievement, for without thatrecognition, the profession would havedied on the vine.

Accreditation brought national recognitionof the educational process for thechiropractic profession and made studentloans available. The National College ofChiropractic had been accredited by theCCE of the American ChiropracticAssociation since 1966, but CCE was notthen recognized by the United States Officeof Education (USOE), now the United StatesDepartment of Education (USDE). By 1971,CCE had become autonomous from ACAand National was accredited then as well,along with Texas, Lincoln and Los Angeles.However, it was still the USOE recognitionthat made the difference.

It is important to realize that at that time noschool offering the DC degree was“regionally” accredited, so CCE was anaccrediting agency for both the “institution”and for the program. In 1981, however,National broke that barrier when it receivedfull accreditation from the North CentralAssociation of Colleges and Schools (NCA),now the Higher Learning Commission ofthe North Central Association of Collegesand Schools. National had been aCandidate for Accreditation with NCA forseven years by that time, however no otherschool offering the DC degree wasregionally accredited.

Regional accrediting agencies accredit the“institution as a whole”; programmatic

terms. During his tenure, Dr. Trestrail oversaw anincreased alumni association membership,enlargement of the Office of Development andAlumni Affairs, expanded functions and increasedattendance at Homecoming, and more participationby state alumni chairmen and their members. Healso instituted “Hands Across the Ocean” trips toextend NCC’s outreach to its foreign alumni. Dr.Trestrail was elected to the NCC Board of Trusteesfor a three-year term in 1982 while continuing toserve the alumni association as executive secretary.

Dr. Trestrail’s son, Jim, recalls driving his father

through campus a few years ago. “He took me tothe steps by the pond where donors had bricksinscribed with their names. He showed me hisbrick. I was duly impressed! But he very seldom‘tooted’ his own horn. He was more of a doer, not atalker. He kept many of his tributes and plaquesmarking his achievements in the closet of his homeoffice. But he had his diploma and graduating classpicture proudly displayed.”

Dr. Trestrail is survived by his wife of 63 years, Sue;children, Karen (Robert) Black, Joanne, James(Susan), and Terri (Richard) Hogan; fivegrandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

National Joins Childhood Obesity FightAll across the country, from First LadyMichelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative ondown, communities, schools and familiesare uniting to attack the serious medicalissue of child and adolescent obesity.(According to a survey by the NationalCenter for Health Statistics, approximately17% or 12.5 million of U.S. children andadolescents aged 2–19 years are obese.)

National University is no different and hasjoined with Healthy Lombard, a village-wide initiative of more than 20 similarlyinspired community organizations andinstitutions, formed to combat childhoodobesity, promote fitness and healthy livingand establish health partnerships.

Gregory Cramer, DC, PhD, dean ofresearch, is spearheading the NUHS groupthat has partnered with Healthy Lombard aswell as organized its own programs aimedat developing “Healthy Children for aHealthy Life.” Primary members of thecommittee include resident NUHS expertson health and nutrition: Brian Anderson,DC, CCN, MPH; Kelly Baltazar, DC, ND,MS; and Anna Jurik, DC, MS, RD, LDN.

Dr. Anderson earned a bachelor of sciencedegree in public health with a minor inbiology degree prior to receiving hischiropractic degree from National in 2004.He earned certification as a clinicalnutritionist and followed with a master ofpublic health degree with a concentrationin community nutrition in 2008. He hasbeen an instructor in diet and nutrition,clinical nutrition, and public health, amongother courses at NUHS since 2005, andbeen a supervising clinician at the WholeHealth Center – Lombard since 2011.

Dr. Baltazar earned her naturopathicmedicine degree from Bastyr University in2005, and followed with a chiropracticdegree from National in 2006 and an MS inAdvanced Clinical Practice in 2009. Shehas been a clinician at National since 2007and has been supervising naturopathicinterns through their clinical training since 2008.

Dr. Jurik earned bachelor of science degreesin exercise physiology and dietetics beforereceiving her chiropractic degree fromNational in 2005. She also received an MSin Advanced Clinical Practice in 2011. Inaddition to teaching nutrition andbiochemistry and supervising interns, Dr.Jurik serves as a clinical dietitian-nutritionistat the Whole Health Center – Lombard.

“The level of expertise on this issue on thiscampus is impressive,” says Dr. Cramer,explaining National’s ability to fight obesityfrom a multi-faceted approach.

NUHS’ Healthy Children for a Healthy Lifecommittee has planned three events aimedat children and family members as well asNUHS facultyand staff.

The first event,which was heldalong with otherpartners of theHealthy Lombard initiative, was a FebruaryFitness Health Fair at the Lombard VillageHall. Dr. Anderson’s group conductedBioimpedance Analysis (BIA), a method ofassessing “body composition,” themeasurement of body fat in relation to leanbody mass, and an integral part of a healthand nutrition assessment.

Dr. Baltazar and her interns held bloodpressure screenings, just one of manydiagnostic tests that can reveal underlyinghealth conditions contributing to weightmanagement issues.

Dr. Jurik’s group utilized the Foot Levelersdigital foot scanner to measure indicators offoot imbalances. Along with other healthcomplications associated with beingoverweight, extra weight applies morepressure on the feet and can cause thearches to collapse, leading to joint and back pain.

Health Fair attendees were also presentedwith brochures on all clinic services as well

accreditors accredit specific programs. Overthe subsequent years, all but Life Westreceived regional accreditation, whichmeant that CCE, with the exception of its relationship to Life West was aprogrammatic accreditor for chiropracticschools.

As a programmatic accreditor, CCE has a setof standards regarding the details of what istaught in the chiropractic curriculum. Bearin mind that CCE is prescriptive, but it is notproscriptive. In other words, it can tell aninstitution what it must teach in its DCdegree program, but it cannot preclude aninstitution from teaching beyond theprescribed standards.

CCE’s educational standards were evaluatedover the past five years and all institutions,organizations and individuals had a chance(several actually) to provide input. By 2014,under the new standards, incoming studentsmust have 90 hours of undergraduateeducation and a GPA of 3.0. However,schools may accept students with a 2.75 butthen must track the student’s success andmust provide special support for thosestudents to improve probabilities forsuccess. The specific courses mandated inthe 90 hours have been dropped but mustinclude 24 hours in “life and physicalscience” and at least half of these must havea substantive laboratory component.

Personally, we think those standards are“light,” but the influence of some schools,organizations and individuals is quitestrong. National University of HealthSciences has already mandated a minimumof 2.75 for September 2012, and of course, we also mandate the baccalaureate(since 1999), which is not done by any other school.

Still, with all of the opportunity for input,members of the profession who follow the“straight” tenets tried every trick in the bookto sanction CCE when it appeared beforethe National Advisory Committee onInstitutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI)for its re-recognition hearing. The NACIQImakes recommendations to the Secretary of Education, who in turn approves ordisapproves recognition of accreditingagencies. The straights tried, through thesocial media, to garner “one million”signatures against CCE. The Chronicle ofHigher Education reported that this grouphad gleaned “nearly 3,400 signatures!” A lotof hype, but not much in the way of realism.

Well, to make matters worse, at the hearing,which usually should take about 15 to 20minutes, the “straight individuals andorganizations” signed up to testify and

basically made a circus out of the hearingwith all kinds of derogatory comments andrecommendations.

We need to understand that the USDE staffmembers recommended to NACIQI thatCCE recognition be continued. Staffrecognized, that because of the many newmandates of the 2008 Higher EducationReauthorization Act, CCE, along with mostaccrediting agencies, would have a numberof deficiencies still to be met. It alsorecognized that many of the “straights” hadwritten or would testify but stillrecommended continuation of recognition.What that means is that the USDE staffmembers who reviewed the CCEsubmission (much like the self studiessubmitted by colleges and universities) wererecommending continuation of recognitionby the Secretary of USDE.

In the final analysis, despite all the negativehoopla by the “straight” members of theprofession, and with the positive support ofthe ACA and the Federation of ChiropracticLicensing Boards (FCLB), the NACIQIrecommended continuation of USDErecognition and stipulated that within ayear, CCE must correct the 42 deficienciesidentified by staff (many of these are simplechanges that will be corrected by the 2012revision of CCE Standards and Policies) and that CCE take steps to be “betterrecognized” by the profession.

The mandates are relatively easy to meet butthe shame for the profession is that wecontinue to provide such a disparate pictureof who and what we are, and as far as I amconcerned, it boils down to some peopletrying at any cost to make sure ourprofession remains firmly stuck in the late1800s. My friends, we must stand up to thiskind of zealotry. No profession can prevail ifit refuses to advance and that includes thechiropractic profession. It is time for us tokeep what was so valuable from ourfounders and move on into the world inwhich we live today. Those of us whounderstand this mandate should take everyopportunity to make this “case” to thepublic and to the other professions. Ourfailure to do so amounts to agreement withthe zealots. As my colleague Dr. KeithCharlton from Australia likes to say, “Silenceis consent!”

The CCE... ...from page 1

National University is mourning the deaths ofthree individuals who played significant rolesin the school’s history: Jacob Fisher, PhD,chancellor emeritus; Gloria Janse, the widowof Dr. Joseph Janse; and Harry Trestrail, DC, alongtime president of the National CollegeAlumni Association and former trustee.

Jacob Fisher, PhD, died January 12 at theMemorial Hospital, Easton,Maryland, at the age of 86.

Dr. Fisher is survived by MaryLouise, his wife of 66 years;four daughters, Mary L.Conley, Mary Phyllis Fisher,Emily A. Perry, and Martha E.McDowell; a grandson; andthree great-grandchildren.

Dear Colleagues,It occurred to me, after hearing of the passingof Dr. Fisher, that many of you have noknowledge of him and the role he played in thedevelopment of National.

Dr. Fisher came to The National College ofChiropractic in 1976 as the academic dean. Hedeveloped the first real faculty handbook andworked to expand the institutional sense ofacademic protocol. While National had beenaccredited by the (as yet unrecognized) CCEsince 1966, it was Dr. Fisher who took over theself study and accreditation process, leadingNational to become the first institution offeringthe chiropractic degree to receive accreditationby a regional accrediting agency, the NorthCentral Association of Colleges and Schools, in1981. His influence was vital to institutionalprogress.

In 1985 upon my return to National as its“chief of staff” (now called dean of clinics), Ibegan to develop a relationship with Dr. Fisherthat lasted until his death.

In the winter of 1985, the Board of Trusteesinstituted a search for a new president. Dr.Janse had passed away on December 18 of thatyear and Dr. Lee Arnold, the interim president,was looking forward to returning to his home inFlorida. Through a series of happenings, bothDr. Fisher and I became candidates for thepresidency along with a host of others. In earlyMay 1986, the Board met to make a finaldecision and the two final candidates (which Idid not know until the morning of the finaldecision) turned out to be Dr. Fisher and me.

After I was told by the chair of the board oftrustees that I had been chosen as the nextpresident of National, he asked Dr. Fisher tocome into the room and said, “Dr. Fisher, mayI introduce your new president?” Dr. Fisher,came directly across the room to me with hishand out and said, “Mr. President, you have

my support 110% of the time,” — and I did,from that day forward until his retirement in 1991.

I changed Dr. Fisher's title from academic deanto chancellor and he became the academicvice president to whom all the deans reported.In so many ways he led me and allowed me tolearn from him during those next five yearsbefore he retired. I remember so clearly the dayhe came to me in 1988 and said, “Jim, I justwant you to know that in three years I plan toretire.” I said, “Jake, what will I do withoutyou?” to which he replied, “If I have done myjob, you won’t need me in three years.”

He did retire in 1991 and received the title“chancellor emeritus” and during the next fiveyears he served as a consultant to me. In 1999,he was elected an associate member of theNational Hall of Honor. His contributions toNational are extensive but for me he wasirreplaceable. In a nutshell, this was our “Dr.Fisher.” I had the privilege of speaking with himas recently as two months ago and he stillsounded as he always did. Now thoseopportunities are gone – but not forgotten.

Gloria Julia Schade Janse, 98, passedaway on January 11 of naturalcauses. Funeral services wereheld in Heber City, Utah, withinterment in the HuntsvilleCity Cemetery.

Mrs. Janse is survived by threechildren, Jan Janse, JulieKimball and Gloria Jo Janse;her brother Fenno Schade; 11

grandchildren; and 24 great-grandchildren.She was preceded in death by Dr. Joseph Janse,her husband of 47 years, two brothers and a sister.

For almost a century she lived a life ofunconditional love and service to those aroundher especially her family.

The First Lady of National College for 38 years,Mrs. Janse related highlights of her life, in“Gloria’s Story,” Chapter 5 of the book, JosephJanse, The Apostle of Chiropractic Education,by Reed B. Phillips, DC, PhD. She and Dr.Janse grew up together in Huntsville, Utah,although she “was just a kid” and he was “asophisticated college dude,” 4-1/2 years older.

She attended Weber State College and workedin the cafeteria while Janse served in theMormon’s Swiss-German mission. Theircourtship began in December 1934 after hereturned from the three-year mission and askedGloria to go to New Year’s Eve Ball, the big

event of the year, “and a highlight of my life.”

They courted mainly through letters and shortvacation periods while Dr. Janse was attendingNational College in Chicago. Shortly after hisgraduation, they were married on June 24,1938. They settled in Chicago where he tookon a teaching role at National College, and atone time lived in an apartment above thedissection lab in the National College building.To supplement their income, Mrs. Janse founda job in a typing pool in the Union RailroadStation. Once the children began arriving, sheassumed the role of dedicated mother andhomemaker. According to “Gloria’s Story,”once the youngest child was in second or thirdgrade, Mrs. Janse returned to the workforce ina unique role as a banana inspector.

She also recalled working near their home inLincolnwood at Culligan Water for 20 years,first part-time then full-time when the childrenwere in high school. Once they were incollege, she was able to accompany Dr. Janseon many of his trips, to several Europeancountries, as well as Africa, Japan, Hawaii,Philippines, and China.

The Janses attended church at Logan SquareWard, North Shore I and II Wards and ChicagoInner City First Ward. She was MutualImprovement Association president for youngwomen, served as Junior Sunday Schoolcoordinator and member of the Junior SundaySchool Mission Board. After Mormon SundayService, both Janses were in charge of youngadult firesides, and thoroughly enjoyed theopportunity to work together with youth.

Expressions of sympathy may be sent to Dr.Joey Janse, the Janses’ youngest daughter, at1615 E. 1350 North, Heber, UT 84032-3423.

Mea Culpa...

In my editorial in the 2011, #3 issue of Alumnus, I wrote that the Board of Trustees hadsaid goodbye to Drs. Rick Dietzen, Audie Klinger and Dave Taylor. I was wrong. We saidgoodbye to Drs. Rick Dietzen, Herman Kathan and Dave Taylor. Dr. Klinger remains anactive member of the board. To all our trustees, and especially to Dr. Klingler, pleaseaccept my apology!
