She has been a patient at Loma Linda' University Hospital since a sudden, traumatic experience four months ago changed the course of her life. As a happy-go-lucky sophomore at Ontario Christian High School, Jane's interests included her classes, especially art; the girls' track team of which she was a member; baseball, football and basketball games which she never missed if she could help it, and, of course, her teachers, classmates and friends. Then, shortly after concluding her second year of high school, there was a one-car accident. Jane was a passenger in the automobile.

She suffered a broken neck, a damaged spinal cord, fractures of both legs and resulting paralysis which could stay with her the rest of her life. Her fingers, once so important to her art work, and her legs which carried her around the track field now refuse to move. But Jane hasn't given up. Her bright face and broad smile are an Inspiration to family and friends. Friends by the score have visited her in the hospital and hundreds of cards substitute for wallpaper around and above her bed.

"We stopped counting the cards at 415," Jane said, and they keep coming. The eyes of dozens of stuffed toys keep a constant watch over the plucky young woman. animals and dolls are birthday gifts received by Jane on her 16th birthday celebrated Sept. 14 at the hospitaL Eighty-seven guests attended the party.

But to satisfy my parents, who had put a lot of money into my education before the war, I went back to college and got my degree in mechanical engineering. was in an engineering outfit in the Marines, but I've never worked one day as an engineer in civilian life," he added. O'Loughlin was bitten by the performing bug when he met Jane Rennie, who showed a strong interest in his acting ability. "I worked with her while I was still In college," he said.

"She complimenti and encouraged me, or I probably nev would have tried it." It took little encouraging; O'Loughlin loved it from the start. By the time he was discharged from the Marines after World War II he had made up his mind to go to the New York Neighborhood Tlayhouse. O'Loughlin's first job as an actor was at the Crystal Lake Theatre In upstate New York, doing repertory for $30 a week plus room and board. He hints that he would still like to work on the stage, but declares It's, impossible. "To go back to New York and work the stage I'd need $1,000 a week just to break even, but out here I can make out on $600 a week." O'Loughlin's new series isn't doing badly in the early ratings.

The national Nielsen pool has it ranked 20th early in the viewing season. "The Rookies" employs a minimum of violence, which pleases O'Loughlin. "If I had my way," he said, "I'd replace all violence on the screen with pornography, or at least give it equal time. "My philosophy of violence on the screen is the same as Jack Nicholson's," O'Loughlin emphasized. "Under the present rating system it's all right to cut off a woman's breast, but if you kiss one they will hit you with an rating.

"Which do you think is worse?" That's Gerald S. O'Loughlin, a rough and tough former Marine who would rather make love than war. By JIMMY JOHNSON Sun-Tlgram TelevlJlon Writer Gannett News Service BEVERLY HILLS When former Marines get together, the conversation is usually hard, raucous, ribald and straight. Marines act tough. Marines talk tough.

Marines are tough. Whether you are an active Marine or a former Marine makes no difference, because "once a Marine, always a Marine." And while the "snow jobs" may vary from subjects of sex to charging a bunker on Tarawa, sooner or later the conversation will get around to the guy who got it all started the Marine drill instructor. "My D.I. had a locker full of funny little sayings," Gerald S. O'Loughlin, who plays Lt.

Eddie Ryker on ABC's "The Rookies" television series, was saying. "We used to anticipate what he might come out with next. "I'll never forget one of his favorites: 'When I say fall out, all I want to sec is asses, elbows and very little dust heading for the O'Loughlin did two hitcht-s in Ihe Marine Corps. He enlisted during World War II and was recalled to active duly during the Korean conflict. "The Marine Corps was quite an experience," he recalled.

It was an experience which did not hurt O'Loughlin's, career a bit. As a matter of fact, it's an experience the New York City native can draw from in his role as the tough but understanding police lieutenant. O'Loughlin and the three rookies he watches over in the Monday night police action drama are attempting with good results to project a new kind of -cop who wants to make his uniform a symbol of help. It's a role which fits O'Loughlin like a Dazzling London Again By GREGORY JENSEN LONDON (UPI) Her name was Amy Lyon but she is remembered as Emma, Lady Hamilton. She was a tart, a kept woman, and one of history's most famous beauties.

Oscar-winner Glenda Jackson is about to portray her in a new movie. Zoe Caldwell played her on stage. There are dozens of books about her. Now there is an art exhibition devoted to the amazing Emma, who may not have altered history but certainly made it. "Her life has become a classic tale," writes Tatricia Jaffa, almost understating the case, in the catalog of the wide-ranging exhibit of 18th century art which centers on Lady Hamilton.

The show is at Kenwood House in London, a fully furnished house of Emma's own period. The gill born Amy Lyon in 1765 "transformed her a pearance, her social status and, like many a great actress, hot name," Mrs. Jaffe wrote. She became "a lady of pleasure, a beautiful and pliant mistress who lived for protracted periods with at least four notables in English society. "What distinguished her, apart from her superabundant youthful charms, was her unfeigned loyalty to each of her protectors in turn and the phenomenal fact that she remained on relatively good terms with all of them to the end of their lives." The show Mrs.

Jaffe assembled is full of portraits of Emma Emma as Medea, Emma as a bacchante, Emma as a sybil, Emma in every classical guise a classics-minded age could devise. For in the late 18l.h century, every painter who got the chance painted Emma. She was above all the favorite model of George Romney, whose "Lady Hamilton as The Ambassadress" is perhaps the most beautiful painting in the show. The exhibit takes the visitor step by amazing slep through Emma's life.
