As part of a mall intercept study in comparing mall shoppers who shop both online and at the mall with those mall shoppers who do not shop online, we found several unique aspects about Internet shoppers. Internet shoppers are more fashion conscious, exhibit more variety seeking behaviors, are more likely to comparison shop, and have a more positive attitude toward shopping than those mall shoppers who do not also buy online. Additionally, those who have used the Internet over a longer period of time are more likely to be Internet shoppers. Finally, Internet shoppers are not any more price sensitive than mall shoppers who do not also buy online. The implications for retail managers are discussed

Addition of the allied health sciences to the school created a unit that houses not only pharmacy but also the microbiology and medical technology programs, the physical therapy program, the paramedical sciences associate degree program, and the advising program for pre-nursing.In the School of Pharmacy itself the curriculum has become more clinical or patient-oriented. The student's five years of study in pharmacy now cul­minate in a final quarter of externship experience. In the Pharmacy Extern- ship Program, students are placed in community and hospital pharmacies throughout the state to work with registered pharmacists who serve as volun­tary preceptors in the program. Presently, due to the interest of Great Falls pharmacists and the requests of the students, plans are being made to establish externship sites in the Great Falls area.(over)PATIENT-ORIENTED"— add oneDuring vacation periods and after graduation many pharmacy students are employed as pharmacy interns throughout the state. Each student must gain a total of 1500 hours of internship and externship experience in order to become licensed as registered pharmacists. Randy Kuiper of Great Falls interned at Montana Deaconess Medical Center and Kristy Farago of Great Falls interned at Snyder Drug during the summer of 1980. Internship experience is supervised by the State Board of Pharmacists under direction of Warren Amole Jr.,Great Falls, executive secretary.The school's role in the continuing education of registered pharmacists has expanded considerably in the past five years. Annually the school spon­sors a number of C.E. programs throughout the state including at least one in the Great Falls area. This year, a Great Falls pharmacist employed at Columbus Hospital, Deborah Gwin, Pharm. D., has been serving as a faculty member of one of the school's programs.The school coordinates its C.E. activities with those of state phar­macy organizations such as the Montana State Pharmaceutical Association whose executive director, Frank Davis, is in Great Falls.###
