"This is the youngest class since WorldWar II. They should lose fewer studentsthan previous classes because most of themare accustomed to the academic situationand hold less outside responsibility."

Still Library IndexesOsteopathic PublicationsFor a long time, Osteopathic Physicians

have felt the urgent need of a subject andauthor index of scientific articles whichhave appeared in the Osteopathic publica-tions including the Journal of the AmericanOsteopathic Association, and the variousstate and specialty publications. With theexception of the yearly index to the Journaland Clinical Osteopathy, there are no in-dexes of any kind available.

Doctors have often had articles in theirminds that should be published but thetremendous task of going through the massof material to find whether or not some oneelse has said it all before or said it differ-ently, has proven too great an undertakingand the article has never been written.

Students at Des Moines Still College of

Osteopathy and Surgery no longer have thisdifficulty for they have access to an indexfrom 1949 to date which includes all Os-teopathic material published. Mrs. Kender-dine, the College Librarian has been com-piling this index using the subject headingsfrom the Cumulative Index Medicus withthe addition of Osteopathic headings in com-mon usage. This index is typed on cardsand is in the library office and availablefor reference. All of the publications thatare indexed are in the library files and maybe consulted.

Realizing that doctors in practice mightappreciate making use of this service, weare extending the privilege to them. Writeto the College Librarian giving the subjectand title of the article you are preparingand she will send you the reference of allOsteopathic articles that have been pub-lished from 1949 to date.

Dr. Lee Moore TerminatesResidency

Dr. Lee Moore DMS '52 has completed athree year residency in the Department ofInternal Medicine. He left Saturday, De-cember 14, for Seattle, Washington, wherehe expects to open an office sometime inJanuary for the practice of Internal Medi-cine. On his way to Washington Dr.Moore planned to stop in Salt Lake Cityand spend Christmas with his mother andbrother.

Foundation BoardTo Get Lay Members

CHICAGO (AIOA) - Laymen will benamed as trustees of the OsteopathicFoundation as a result of action by theAOA Board of Trustees.

G. Willard King, foundation director,was instructed to screen the nominations ofprominent citizens offered by members ofthe profession. With King, the Divisionof Public and Professional Service has be-gun preparation for a comprehensive bro-chure to be used in a general educationalfund-raising campaign.

The survey of the osteopathic colleges,made by Lawrence W. Mills, director of theOffice of Education, showed a pattern ofgrowth during the past 10 years and anobvious need for further expansion of facul-ty and physical plant for all of the schools.

The indications that the schoois are plan-ning for the future was called "encourag-ing" by AOA executive secretary, Dr. TrueB. Eveleth.

New U.S. ProgramIn Basic Research

CHICAGO (AOA) - The government isencouraging basic research. In Decemberthe U. S. Public Health Service announceda$1,300,000 program to increase the num-ber of scientists to do basic research.

The National Institutes of Health will ad-minister the project known as the GeneralResearch Training Grants Program.Grants for the training at the graduatelevel will be awarded to medical schools andother qualified institutions.

A high NIH official cited shortage areasin basic research pathology, pharmacology,genetics, anesthesiology, epidemiology, bio-chemistry and biophysics. He also made itclear that the research program "extendsand supplements, but does not replace re-search training opportunities" available inthe NIH research fellowship awards topromising researchers.

P.S.G.School daze again after a joyful holiday

beclouded only by the threat of StateBoards and final exams. So, back to thestudy of health, which is wealth (theysay), though right now the problems of thestudent serve only to keep the home firesburning.

Returnees to the PSG fortress were im-pressed with the wall to wall paint jobrolled on by DiDonato and able cohortsover the holidays. Likewise our new livingroom fixtures. Busy hands are currentlydoing some drape-shaping-our bay win-dows promise to be the finest in town.

One of our very finest work nights re-cently, as Dr. Chapman held a large andrapt audience with an intense discussion onthe stepping stones of medical education.

An off-the-cuf lecture which could be re-peated to the whole school and which couldbe of enormous value to our practicingbrethren, this was a speech which probedat the very depths of the psychology under-lying medical training.

As the term draws to a close we wish toexpress our sincere best wishes and goodluck to two of our departing faculty broth-ers-Dr. Hsie who begins a leave of ab-sence and Dr. Seibert who leaves the teach-ing staff to begin a residency in Pathologyat Kirksville.

ITSThe first business meeting for 1958 was

held on Wednesday evening January 8, atDr. Dresser's home. The meeting was pri-marily aimed at reorganizing the adminis-trative structure of the fraternity withemphasis being placed on increasing at-tendance at meetings, changing the frateri-ty by-laws, integrating the pledges intofraternity organizational activities. Anexecutive council was established and vari-ous committees set up to obtain more effec-tive use of the actives and pledges. Thesecommittees were as follows; social, alumni,pledge, worknite, and flying club. Withreference to the flying club activities, Bro-thers Harnish and Stoerkel reported thattwo aircraft were under consideration andthat plans were underway to activate theclub and purchase one of the planes.

We wish to announce with great pridethat Dr. Harold Dresser was elected Vice-chairman of the American College of Os-teopathic Surgeons, Urological Section for1957-58. We congratulate Dr. Dresser onthis fine achievement.

1st 1958 BabyFloors Father

CHICAGO (AOA)-The Corpus Christi,Texas Osteopathic Hospital is claiming thefirst baby-and the first casualty of 1958.

Steve John Anthony Cavazos arrived ingood shape a few seconds after the strokeof midnight. The father, Steve Cavazos,collapsed a few seconds later in the hospi-tal waiting room when told of the birth ofhis first child.

AOA EndorsesRetirement ActJenkins-Keogh BillSeeks Tax Exemption

CHICAGO (AOA) -The American Os-teopathic Association has told a Congres-sional committee that it supports the Jen-kins-Keogh bill.

Dr. Chester D. Swope, chairman of theDepartment of Public Relations, said in astatement submitted to the House Commit-tee on Ways and Means that the AOA be-lieves in the principle that self-employedpersons should receive tax exemptions forretirement funds.

Also appearing in support of the billwere representatives of the American Med-ical Association, the American Dental As-sociation, the American Veterinary Medi-cal Association and the American ThriftAssembly. This group spoke for severalprofesisonal, business and trade associa-tions.

Osteopathic physicians presently mayparticipate in the federal social securityprogram, though medical doctors havestayed outside its coverage.

Provisions of the bill as pending wouldallow self-employed persons to deduct fromyearly gross income a limited amount con-tributed to a restricted retirement fund orpaid as premiums on an insurance policywith retirement features. A maximum of$5000, or 10 percent of yearly income,could be deducted up to lifetime total of$100,000. Special considerations are madefor necessary withdrawal of funds and fortheir use after retirement.

"The present tax structure offers in-ducements for the establishment of pensionfunds for employees. It is only fair andjust that professional persons, being self-employed, be permitted to participate in re-stricted retirement funds that take intoconsideration the deferred and limited du-ration of their earning years," Dr. Swope'sstatement read.

It takes from seven to nine years afterhigh school to train an osteopathic physi-cian. By the time he has experienced thelean years of establishing a practice, an-other similar period will have transpired.In other words, osteopathic physicians andother professional persons similarly situ-ated, must depend on their middle ageearnings to provide for their retirement, adependency that is dissipated by taxationthat ignores it as an equitable considera-tion."

Basketball Team RecoversAfter Poor Start

After dropping its first five games in arow, the 1957-58 version of Still College'scage team found the winning combinationand finished the season with a respectable4 won - 7 lost record. Included in the sea-son was a final rush which saw the teamtake four out of its last five games in afine 4-game winning streak.

The Wilkie House Industrial League'sseason officially began early in Novemberand ended early in March. Starting off theseason, the team played a scrappy type ofgame leading all the way over a well-versedAnkeny team only to see a constant 4 pointlead vanish into a bitter 1 point defeat inthe last few seconds. Following this gamewere rather one-sided defeats suffered atthe hands of Wilkie House, 2 games to theCourt Jesters and again to Ankeny. Justbefore Christmas break, Still College brokeinto the win column with a whopping 14point victory over the Old Timers. AtChristmas vacation the standings showed1-5 with Still College on the short end.The new year saw successive victories overWilkie House, the Old Timers, and Simp-son. Then with the team at its peak, theundefeated Court Jesters were met in twosuccessive games. Again the Jesters putdown the D. 0. Dribblers in rough games.Thus the league season, a satisfying onein many respects, came to an end with a4-7 record.

The basketball team is winding up theseason by playing in the "58" Wilkie HouseMen's Open Basketball Tournament. Stillplays its first game in the tourney on Mon-day, March 17, at 7:00 P. M.

Of interest in the results of this yearsteam, coached by Gene Fredericks ('59) andStephen Koeffler ('51), was the fact that noone on the first team graduate and most ofthe team members are in the Freshmanclass. With this in mind, next year appearsto hold great promise for Still College.

Fifty-Ninth Annual Commencement June 6Current Laboratory

ProblemsBy Ben Chaiken

One of the problems that is confrontinglaboratory personnel today is the resistanceof microorganisms to antibiotic and chemo-therapeutic agents. This phenomenon is oc-curring more and more thru-out the country.The reasons for this are multifold; in theorder of their importance they are as fol-lows:

1. The indiscriminate use of antibioticsagainst disease entities that are actuallyrefractile to modern medicants. Example:VIRUS DISEASES (Exceptions: Lympho-granuloma venereum). Fungus diseases(Exceptions: Psittacosis, Ornithosis, Acti-nomycosis, Nocardiosis).

2. Under treatment. Dosages of Antibi-otics that simply are not enough. Bacteriareadily build up a tolerance to antibiotics,when given the opportunity.

3. Prolonged antibiotic therapy that farexceeds the optimum period of successfultreatment.

4. Using only what is considered the drugof choice. This is ascertained by sensitivitytesting.

Adaptation of microorganisms to thera-peutic agents is clearly factual. Today wehave organisms that will not survive in theabsence of Streptomycin. These organismscontain enzyme systems that make themetabolism of the human body seem in-adequate by comparison.

In the very near future, hospital lab-oratories will have to equip themselves forthe diagnosis of vital diseases. This will beperformed by employing Complement Fix-ation, Neutralization tests, Tissue Culture,Animal and EZgg inoculations, Agglutin-ation tests, plus other methods and modi-fications that are currently being developed.Thru-out the country today the incidence ofviral diseases, is on the increase and thedetection of these agents is a must for afavorable prognosis of the patient.

Another example of disease on the in-crease are the fungus diseases. In certainareas of the country, Histoplasmosis is arelatively prevalent disease; in anotherarea, Coccidioidomycosis is prevalent. Candi-diasis has had a 400% increase in the last10 years. When a fungus disease is sus-pected, or on certain diagnostic problems


OPF Tops $600,000,Leads 1957 Mark

CHICAGO (AOA) - Contributions tothe !Osteopathic Progress Fund are appre-ciably ahead of the same time in 1957,announced G. Willard King, executive di-rector of OPF and the Osteopathic Founda-tion.

With $608,326 received through March 1,King predicted that the year's total wouldexceed $700,000 by the end of May. The1957 March total was $554,977.

Professional giving accounted for $508,-822 of the sum, an increase of about $15,-000 from a year ago. Public donations in-creased from $61,457 to $99,504 in the sameperiod.

"The increase is achieved mostly by anexcellent voluntary campaign in Ohio andadoption of the support-through-dues planin Indiana," King said. "Now that Iowahas adopted the dues plan and other statesmay follow, we can hope for still greaterincreases."

In a report for an April meeting of theOPF committee, King called attention tothe desirability of determining the properplace of each of the osteopathic fund rais-ing organizations.

He pointed out that OPF serves as a sortof confederated alumni fund for the osteo-pathic colleges but has no voice in whathappens to money raised or how OPF ac-tivities could be coordinated with each col-lege's fund raising and public relationsprogram.

when there is an indication of pulmonarycomplication, the idea of skin testing shouldbe entertained.

There will never be a time when prob-lems are not occurring. It must be remem-bered that there is no such thing as 100%in biological phenomenon. Adaptation, mu-tation are phenomena that are happening,and will continue to happen. Our under-standing of disease is only superficial atbest. Man will continue to be plagued withdisease, as long as there is life. It is amatter of time before the understanding ofthe Biochemistry of disease will be re-stricted to the study of the physical make-up of molecules. It is here that we will findthe answers to our unanswered questions.

The best brand of medicine to practice is.... preventive medicine."a few seem favorites of fatein pleasures lap carest;yet think not all the richand great are likewisetruly blest.For oh what crowds in every xland all retched and forlorn;thru weary life this lesson learn,that man was made to mourn."

21 States ShowIncrease in D.O.S.

CHICAGO (AOA) Only 21 states havegained D.O. population during the lasteight years, a study by the OsteopathicFoundation reveals. Fewer D.O.s practicenow than in 1950 in 26 other states.

The trend seems to be for the "rich toget richer and the poor to get poorer,"foundation director G. Willard King com-mented.

,Over the eight years Michigan gained491 new doctors, California 346, Pennsyl-vania 311 and Ohio 220.

Delaware, with 28 doctors in 1958, hadthe greatest gain, a 64 percent increase.Florida's D.O.s increased 62 percent andMichigan's gain amounted to 54 percent.Other states with a high percentage gain

were Texas, Arizona, Hawaii, Indiana,Ohio and Oregon.

Illinois lost the greatest number of doc-tors in the eight years. It now has 95fewer D.O.s than in 1950, despite improvedpractice rights. Massachusetts lost 65 doc-tors in eight years.

States which lost more than a fifth oftheir osteopathic doctors include also Idaho,Kentucky, Louisiana, Connecticut, Mon-tana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Utah, Ver-mont, Virginia and Wyoming.

Florida OpportunityDr. Byron Beville writes that he is mov-

ing to Tampa, Florida, and would like tohave a D.O. take over his practice inWaldo, Florida. He says there is a hos-pital 10 miles away in Stark, Fla. It wouldbe appreciated if any interested person con-tact him.

Dr. L. P. Fagen WritesSecond Book

"The Wave Length of God", is the titleof the newest book written by Lester P.Fagen, DMS '35. It covers the author's halfcentury of service to both man's spiritualand physical needs. Dr. Fagen is also theauthor of "Poems of Devotion and Medita-tion", published last year.

This book relates how Dr. Fagen, bornin 1885 in Iowa, felt the call of God as afarm boy and entered Y.M.C.A. work, thenbecame a circuit rider in Wyoming, a pas-tor, a social worker and, in 1935, an osteo-path. He found, he writes, that his work asan osteopath aided him in his religious work,because persons who originally sought hisaid for physical ills also turned to him forspiritual counsel.

Dr. Fagen practiced in Des Moines from1935 to 1951, then until early in 1958 inPhoenix, Arizona. His present home is inLos Angeles.

The House of Delegates of the Na-tional Alumni Association of DMS-COS will meet in Washington, D. C.during the national convention of theAmerican Osteopathic Association inJuly.

D.O.S. Must GiveOPF $100 Yearly

CHICAGO (AOA) -Osteopathic physi-cians must average a yearly contribution of$100 to osteopathic education to meet thegoal set by the AOA Osteopathic ProgressFund committee at its April meeting inChicago.

A million dollars a year is the minimumamount needed by the six colleges as "basicbudget support" to close the gap betweenoperating expenses and tuition and otherincome. "It is the responsibility of theosteopathic profession to supply this," thecommittee stated.

Figures compiled by the OsteopathicFoundation in 1957 showed that D.O.'s ledall alumni groups with an individual aver-age of $55 a year. This will have to bealmost doubled if the colleges are to havesufficient funds for continued operation,the report emphasized.

The OPF campaign for $100 a personshould be regarded as the fundamental pro-gram but not as sufficient for all needs.The group urged the colleges to coordinatetheir alumni relations programs and to con-tinue seeking funds within and outside theprofession for research and expansion.

While accepting support of the collegesas an AOA obligation, the committee rec-ommended that the divisional societies as-sume the direct task of collecting contribu-tions. State quotas are to be revised on abasis of doctor population to determine amore realistic proportion of funds to besought by each. Within the state organiza-tions, the committee urged that each doctorbe given the prerogative of marketing hisdonations for the school or fund of his par-ticular choice.

For the first time, the OPF committeerecommended the use of "support-thru-dues"plans of organized giving. The plan shouldbe adopted whenever other methods are un-successful. The yearly amount should befixed at $100 or more, the report said.

OPF and Osteopathic Foundation Direc-tor G. Willard King pointed out that duesassessments for support of education aretax-deductible as regular business expenses.He said that additional contributions toosteopathic education then might be listedas charitable contributions. King remindedthe state societies that the full resourcesand staff of the national OPF committeewere available to any state group.

Student Dr's UseMedco-Sonlator

The Medco-Sonlator introduces a newconcept of therapy by combining two proventherapies into one unit. It permits the useof electrical muscle stimulation and ultra-sound either individually or simultaneously.The physiological action of the simultaneousapplication of the stimu-sonic currents, ifnot completely understood, produces ther-apeutic results clinically not possible to ob-tain with either ultra-sound or electricalstimulation, when used alone. The machinehelps from a diagnostic standpoint in lo-cating "trigger points" of pain, and tender-ness in the muscles and fascia.

The above machine being demonstrated byK. L. Huntsman, representative of the Med-co Electronics Company, Inc., of Tulsa,Okla., has been placed in the Still Clinicfor our use.

W. Mills of Chicago, director of .the AOAOffice of Education. "During 1957-58 some14 students withdrew from the colleges be-cause of financial difficulties."

Some $47.5 million is appropriated forthe current fiscal year with $75 millionmarked for 1959-60 and $82.5 million for1960-61.

To be eligible for a loan, a student mustshow need, regular full-time enrollmentand an academic standing satisfactory tohis school.

The federal government will furnishnine-tenths of the money and require aparticipating school to provide the othertenth. Provision is made for the school toborrow its share from the government.

Repayment of the loans will not be re-quired until after a student's graduation.There is to be no interest until a studentgraduates. After that 3 percent will becharged.

Bureau Lists HospitalRules

CHICAGO (AOA) - The reponsibilityfor qualifying doctors in all departmentsof a hospital is placed more definitely onthe staff and board of trustees in revisedregulations issued by the Bureau of Hos-pitals of the American Osteopathic Asso-ciation.

"The staff must show evidence that theprivileges of each member of the staff aredetermined on the basis of professionalqualifications and demonstrated ability",states the 12th edition of Minimum Re-quirements, Standards and Regulations forOsteopathic Hospitals Approved for theTraniing of Interns and Residents publishedby the bureau.

In a change, the chairman of each re-quired organized department is now ex-pected to be "qualified" in that specialtyand to assume responsibility for traininginternes and residents.

However, under the resident trainingsection, a clause requires that the depart-ment chairman or an active staff memberLe a certified specialist. This person mustdemonstrate by experience and teachingability his qualification to conduct resi-dency training in keeping with specialtycollege and Bureau of Hospitals require-zments.

The surgery section has been deleted.Specific requirements for the dietary andpharmacy departments have been added.The staff organization requirements aredefined more clearly.

In the future, applicants for internshipswill be obligated to notify hospitals of theirrejection, as well as their acceptance ofoffered internships.

L. O.G.A good time was had by all at the

L. 0. G. picnic at Birdland Park, Sept. 20.After a weeks delay due to rain, theSunday morning and afternoon proved per-fect for baseball, football, relay, and eggthrowing contests. The picnic is an annualevent of the fraternity and is open to allthe members of the college's faculty andstudents. Thus it serves to acquaint thefreshmen with the upperclassmen andfaculty, and to allow classmates to get to-gether again as in past years.

L. 0. G. again leads the other social andprofessional fraternities on campus inscholarship. This honor has come to thefraternity with consistent regularity in thepast, and it is hoped that the succeedingyears will prove to be no different.

Congratulations are in order for DonaldCohen, Sidney" Grobman, Sheldon Kafton,and Norman Sherbin, who married duringthe summer. Also to be congratulated areFrank Aks, Ralph Levy, LeRoy Neuman,and Jerry Weingarden who got engagedand expect to be married by next year.

Steens Move ToColumbus, 0.

Drs. Robert and Ruth Steen, formerlymembers of the AOA central office staff,have joined the staff of Doctors Hospital atColumbus, Ohio. Dr. Bob will be the hos-pital director of education and Dr. Ruth willLe secretary of the staff.

P. S. G.June, July and August saw the soph-

omore members of P. S. G. in various andsundry places over the country. In themonth of June, Dan Cupid's arrow foundsuitable targets in Steve Koffler and JoeTreon. As we go to press we also firedOllie Pops with a new addition to his lifeas he tripped down the aisle.

The ball and chain union wasn't limitedto the sophomore class. Congratulations arealso in order for Jack Ready. Those longward walks at Iowa Methodist proved toolaiuch when Barbara cornered him down thelast mile. Jack was backed up in this ven-ture by brothers Knable, Lavendusky, andBousamra. Other P. S. G. attendants wereJohn Waite and Bernie Arden.

Jack Knable had previously met hismatch with Pat Bayde also an Iowa Meth-odist graduate. His futile attempts at es-cape- ended- i .St.. Ambrose .Cathedral .inJune.

The summer toils of P. S. G.'s soph-omores covered a variety of fields. Its re-ported that Arnold Aaron learned much(counseling and otherwise) at a camp inupper Michigan. The College Builders ofAmerica under the direction of Arnie(Hoffa) Jacobs concentrated their effortswhen they weren't under investigation forbuilding water skis and fishing wharves.Don Turner trudged through rain, sleet,hail and dark of night in pursuit of hisdaily rounds. Dick Nuskievicz, it is under-stood, almost fell off a roof while lookingat the local scenery. Bert Bez became aregular over the counter prescriber at aDetroit pharmacy.

Missouri D.O.S. UrgeJoint License Board

ST. LOUIS-The Missouri Association ofOsteopathic Physicians and Surgeons hasjoined the Missouri State Medical Asso-ciation in sponsoring the creation of acombined licensing board for Missouriosteopathic and medical doctors.

A draft bill to replace the present sep-arate boards was approved by the MAOPSat its October convention and by the medi-cal group last spring. It is similar to un-successful legislation sponsored previouslyby the two groups.

The bill calls for the creation of a seven-member board of two D.O.'s and five M.D.s.The board "shall not be permitted to favorany particular school" and shall give astandard examination to all applicants.

Dentists, optometrists, nurses, pharma-cists, chiropodists and chiropractors areexcluded from provisions of the act. Theearlier efforts of the two groups were op-posed strongly by chiropractic organizations.

OPF Giving DoublesEarly 1957 Receipts

CHICAGO (AOA)--Osteopathic progressFund collections through August are morethan double receipts for the first threemonths of the previous fiscal year.

During the first quarter of 1958-59, OPFhas received $169,834 from doctors as com-pared to $83,491 for the year before.

The increase can be attributed in largepart to the six new states which began asupport-thru-dues program, according tothe OPF chairman, Dr. C. L. Naylor of Ra-venna, Ohio. Twelve states now make OPFcontributions a part of their dues.

The OPF in 1957-58 raised $619,092 ofits quota of $986,640. The current quotawas scheduled for revision at a late SDn-terber meeting of the OPF committee. Thecommittee last spring established as a min-imum standard for giving $100 yearlyfrom each AOA member.

State societies which adopted the sup-port-thru-dues plan in 1957-58 includedFlorida, Iowa, Minnesota, Tennessee andVirginia. States already contributing inthat fashion were California, Colorado, In-diana, Missouri, Oregon and Michigan.

D.O.'s Oppose Discrimin-ation In Tax-Supported

HospitalsDETROIT- Osteopathic physicians in

southwestern Wayne county, Michigan arepressing their bid for admission to thestaffs of three hospitals operated by thePeople's Community Hospital Authority inthree Detroit suburbs.

-Eleven .of the 21 villages and townshipsserved by the tax-supported PCHA backosteopathic admission to the hospitals, ac-cording to Dr. William Costello of GrosseIsle, spokesman for the D.O.s.

"It is definite discrimination," he said."Exclusion of osteopathic doctors in anarea served by about 125 M.D.s and 92D.O.s means that almost half of the peoplewho support the hospitals cannot be treatedin them by a doctor of their choice."

Kenneth Gremore, executive secretary ofthe PCHA, has said that the authority's ob-jection to osteopathic doctors is that theiradmission to the staff would preclude hos-pital inspection or approval by the JointCommission on Hospital Accreditation, anagency sponsored by the American MedicalAssociation and other medical bodies.

Dr. Costello and Gremore exchangedcharges over PCHA efforts to induce thevillage of Gibralter to join the organiza-tion. Gibralter is served only by osteopath-ic doctors. None of the hospitals presentlyare approved by the Joint Commission.

Accreditation of a hospital is necessaryboth for its management and for the pro-tection of its patients, Gremore said.

Dr. Costello replied that the accreditationprogram of the American Osteopathic As-sociation requires the same high standardsas does the Joint Commission while leavingthe staffs open to all properly licenseddoctors.

Pointing out that the two professions arelicensed equally in Michigan, Dr. Costellosaid that "it is not the function of minorgovernment officials to discriminate betweenphyscians licensed by the state, or to pro-mote a monopoly at the expense of thetaxpayers, or to deny to the citizens inthe use of a hospital the rights the statealready has granted those citizens in thefree choice of their physicians."

The PCHA operates hospitals in Ypsi-lanti, Wayne and Lincoln Park. It is sup-ported by a four mill tax on its participat-ing communities and operated by a boardof directors representing them.

Atlas ClubThis year finds the Atlas Fraternity House

filled to capacity, making room for threenew freshmen; Nick Redemio, Chuck Romanand Jim Medola. This raises the Youngs-town, Ohio, area men to seven. Judgingfrom the number of hours the Frosh don'tsleep, something tells us that the schoolsstandards are rising each year.

Officers for the following year, '58-59,are Harry Davis, President; Phil Naples,Vice-President; Frank Tepner, Secretary;Bobby Black, Treasurer; and Bob O'Neil,House Manager. Sounds like a great teamwith Harry Davis sparking the backfield.

The social calendar saw several very suc-cessful parties, one an "Open House" andanother was a "Euphoria Night", whichspeaks for itself. Everyone had an adequateamount of food and drink, not to mentionthe card games. Att: Eli Yurick.

Brothers ^Vefntresco a-nd Timmons- wereexterning at Columbus, Ohio, and Flint,Michigan, respectively during the summer.Both gained a wealth of knowledge andpractical "know how".

Sophomore Dave Uselt is assisting inthe Embryology Lab. helping the Frosh un-scramble the somites.

This year we of Atlas are proud to haveboth the President and Vice-President ofthe Sophomore Class from our Fraternity.Good luck Brothers O'Neil and Davis.

Rumor has it that a new motto hasemerged from the Atlas House; so if youhear anyone mumbling "Shape Up or ShipOut" you'll know that the well known wormhas turned.

Question of the month: Was Phil Naplesreally a professional wrestler? See youall again next month.

L. 0. G.This month has been marked by much

activity by Lambda Omicron Gamma. Ini-tiating the fall social calendar was the Gala"Fall Frolic" held at the Jewish Commu-nity Center. A five piece Rhumba andMombo band played sweet music to thebest attended affair of the season. Theschools turnout was very good with almostall of the Freshman Class attending.

Changing the pace slightly, L.O.G. pre-sented a worknight featuring a GrandRounds Movie dealing with the subject"Diabetes". Participating in a panel dis-cussion afterward were Doctors Burrows,Harkness, and Magen. Coffee and cakewere served, as usual, afterwards. L.O.G.would like to extend its appreciation tothe aforementioned physicians for theirenlightening discussion as it particularlyrelated to their specialty. The worknightwas indeed one of the finest ever presentedat the College.

Climaxing the month, a stag was heldat the Cloudroom of the Airport which wasalso a huge success, especially for the fel-low with my ten dollars. On the sameevening the wives of the fraternity enter-tained the freshmen wives in a "get togeth-er tea" at Fred Melt's house.

P. S. G.A hearty welcome is extended to all the

incumbent pledges of P.S.G. Those thatswell the ranks include: Chris Bakris, RoyFailer, Hank Sonenshein, Herb Fichman,Earl Gonyaw, Dick Josef, Monroe Harris,Tom Honingford, Dick Mackay, Roger Mon-sour, Don McDonnell, Mary Jaffe, PerryKaplan, Stan Rappaport, Dave Russack,Leon Shore, Lou Terpster, Barry Szczesny,Jerry Cooper, Sud Miracle, Keith Simpsonand Sophomores Dick Garrett and Stan Lu-beck, better known as "Mutt and Jeff".

A relatively new idea was initiated atthe house a few weekends ago. A groupof actives and pledges staged a rustic typeoutdoor weiner-roast in the shelter of theliving room. The crackling of the log firein the fireplace was heard above the humof the TV set. 'This new trend will be greatfor those cold winter weekends that arecoming rapidly upon us.

For those Juniors that traveled to Ar-kansas to write State Board Exams, the tripwas not in vain. The outcome for the mostpart was jubilant, as the passing rate ranrather high, Congratulations!

The Davey Crocket, Daniel Boone, andJim Bowie of the house returned from SouthDakota with an abundance of birds. It isrumored however, that the birds were sothick that one of the fellows tripped andwhile falling his gun went off, bringingdown a bird. This was his only one,though.

Who has more trouble than Steve Koffler ?Last year he was infiltrated with "bugs"and this year he is again inhabited. Onlythis new crop of creatures is so demandingthat he has had to bring a pillow to classso that they could sleep well.

The "jam session" at the house a fewSundays ago was the most. The group wasreally a swinging foursome. I think we willprobably be seeing more of this as it wasreally well received.

L.O.G. would like to congratulate SanderKushner, Thomas Kovan, Frank Roth, Lar-ry Rubinoff, Sam Kligerman, Harvey Mick-lin, Fred Seligman and Jerry Thurer ontheir selection for membership into P.S.A.,the national honor society.

L.O.G. recently held an election of officersfor the forthcoming year. Those electedwere: Sandy Kushner, President; TommyKovan, Vice-President; Frank Roth, Secre-tary; Larry "Bunny" Goldman, Correspond-ing Secretary; Shel Kaftan, Treasurer; andBig Mike Kirschenbaum, Sergeant at Arms.

Pledgemasters Shelly Kule and Bob Sil-verstone announced that Allan Belkin, Mau-rice Belkin, Carl Boris, Allan Brooks, AlvinBurstein, Robert Cohen, Martin Diamond,Irwin Eisenberg, Stephen Fudell, HerbertGoodwin, James Grekin, Murray Hurwitz,Aram Janiggian, Martin Karp, Eugene Kop-ple, Irvin Merlin, Herbert Miller, ClaudeOster, Leon Rosky, Stanley Sackner, Shel-don Schore, Louis Soverinsky, and EdwinZamber have accepted bids, and are nowpledging L.O.G. We wish to welcome thesemen and hope that their pledgeship will beenjoyable. R. L.

I. T. S."Lady Luck" ran wild on Saturday night,

November 1, as Iota Tau Sigma enter-tained the freshmen and guests at a "MonteCarlo Night" party, held at Dr. Dresser'shome. As each person was greeted at thedoor they were given $10,000 (play money),and then proceeded to play the variousgames of chance. Needless to say, "thebank" was broken early in the evening,and several players emerged with winningstotaling several thousands. Later in theevening, an auction was held, and severalitems (cigarette lighters, stuffed animals,napkins, a pipe, etc.) were auctioned off,and purchased with the winnings. We reallyhad a wonderful time and a chance to be-come better acquainted with the freshmen.The fraternity had such a wonderful timethat it was voted to make it an annualaffair.

During the first week of pledging I.T.S.offered pledgeship to the following students:Freshmen: Arthur Angove, Thomas Cham-bers, William Chambers, Richard Clark,Elwyn Crawford, Ronald Hansen, Rex 01-lom, Robert Ostwinkle, Eugene Rongaus,Val Rongaus, Gerald Blue, John Nelson andCarl Otte; Sophomores: Robert Dzmura andHugh Grover; Juniors: Ludwig Ginkle andThomas Henn. We wish to welcome thesemen as pledges and we feel that the bene-fits will be mutual.

Plans are underway for our annualChristmas Dinner Dance, and according toChairman Harry Phillips, the event will beheld on December 12, at the Cloud Room,Municipal Airport, so all actives, pledgesand alumni should set aside this date fora wonderful evening.

Physiograph PurchasedThru Grant

The Department of Physiology has a newteaching instrument which was purchasedfrom funds of the Cardiovascular TeachingGrant, administered by Dr. Richard P. De-Nise, Professor of Internal Medicine. Thisinstrument called the "Physiograph" is anall electronic machine, designed to do awaywith the old Kymograph with its smokeddrum and its often faulty levers and manom-eters. The instrument was developed by theBaylor University, College of Medicine, andconsists of four recording channels whichwrite with ink on a continuous strip ofpaper. Three of the channels are used forrecording physiologic phenomena while thefourth channel is a timing and stimulus sig-nal. With the proper transducers suchthings as blood pressure, respiration, elec-trocardiograms, electro-myograms, electro-encephalograms, myograms and heartsounds may be recorded. The instrumenthas a built-in stimulator, respirator andvariable paper speed control, and accessoryinstruments such as a cardiac defibrilatorare available. This apparatus was develop-ed for student use and the maker's claimfor it is that "It is student proof, and al-most faculty proof". It is hoped that thePhysiology Department will eventually beable to replace all of the kymographs withPhysiographs.

The bill calls for the creation of a seven-member board of two D.O.'s and five M.D.'s.The board "shall not be permitted to favorany particular school" and shall give astandard examination to all applicants.

Dentists, optometrists, nurses, pharma-cists, chiropodists, and chiropractors areexcluded from provisions of the act. Theearlier efforts of the two groups were op-posed strongly by chiropractic organiza-tions.

officers to run and administer the frater-nity's affairs. The responsibilities of of-fice were assumed as of December 1st.Norm Jankowski is the new president andis followed by Joe Chirillo as vice-presi-dent.

OSTEOPATHIC STATISTICSFOUND IN NEW BOOK

CHICAGO (AOA) - Who does whatwhere and with whom in the osteopathicprofession is expected to be! considerablyclearer November 1, when the AOA re-leases its first complete statistical study ofthe osteopathic medical practice.

"This marks the first time the osteo-pathic profession has attempted a statisticalevaluation of itself," explained Miss Jose-phine Seyl, supervisor of information andstatistics.

For her, the survey has been a two-yearproject beginning with questionnaires in1956. Responses were transferred to ma-chine cards and correlated to produce anaccurate index to osteopathic practice laws,specialties, education, post-graduate train-ing, age and urban-rural distribution.

The survey will be reported in a two-color, 36-page booklet with 21 tables anddescriptive text, Miss Seyl said.

P. S. G.Bleak December, the month of bearded

men, reindeer, and, ah yes, the returningseniors. The familiar sound of Jim Blem'suke have been heard sounding throughthe halls of the house. Warren Christisonhas also made ,3205 Grand his mailing ad-dress for the next six months.

Election of officers was held at the lastmeeting. These are to replace the past of-ficers who are going on externship. Thesuccessful candidates Joe Chirillo and LarryDiDonato were elected President and Vice-president respectively. Congratulations!

Another one of the now traditional "JamSessions" was held Sunday the 14th. Thisevent was preceeded by a buffet luncheon.The session was a "gasser," the soundscoming from the hip stick men were thewildest. The cats sat mesmerized as if mo-mentarily conveyed to the Blue Note onChicago's north side.

Tragedy struck fast as the P.S.G. houseone night last week when both Earl Scheid-ler and Earl Gonyaw were victims of ath-letic mishaps. One came as the result ofbasketball and the other from wrestling. Iguess this is what happens when we passinto the age of maturity.

Representing P.S.G. and the College atthe International Festival was our ownHector Valdes Revera Chico who really cutsa mean "merengne."

The well earned vacation is nearly uponus and I know we are waiting for it withopen arms. So until we see you next year,have a "Cool Yule and a Frantic First."
