Such a program is offered at the Walla Walla Veterans Administration Hospital under the direction of Dr. Joseph F. Grismer. chief of the recently developed Mental Health Services section. "The primary goal of the program is to return the patient to the community where he can continue his long-term treatment through the community agencies by whom he was referred," said Robert E. Brunk, hospital director.
"A major component of the program is a complete medical evaluation provided by the hosoital's physicians," Brunk said. "Acceptance for inpatient care is dependent upon a detoxified patient's ability to participate both physically and mentally in the intensive program.

During the 30 days the patient is at the hospital, the program will focus on alcohol education, individual counseling, group therapy, physical rehabilitation and after-care plan-

Persons planning to audition for paid positions Saturday should prepare a two-minute monologue from a modern play and a short song from a musical score or a modern piece of their choice, McConn said.

Musicians will not be required to audition Saturday, but may pick up application forms.
