THE LOG BOOK

Library Changes RulesIt has been widely acclaimed that the li-

brary at C.O.M.S. is the best of its kindthroughout the United States. In orderthat this service be maintained to the stu-dent and physician, the library rules wererecently changed. The reason for this istwofold: (1) Due to the lack of time al-lowed in the student's schedule and (2)Since little outside reading is required,there is little demand for the student to domuch independent reading. However inorder that the recent and important booksmay be more accessible there regulationshave been changed as follows.

Effective January 26, 1959.All books in SEMINAR ROOMS may be

borrowed for one week.Both call slips and book cards must be

signed. Reservations may be made at thedesk, a week in advance. No renewals.The person borrowing the book is respon-sible for its return. 25 cents a day finefor non-return of book.

REGULAR STOCK BOOKS circulatetwo weeks. They may be renewed if notrequested by some one else. Fine of 10cents a day if over due.

BOUND PERIODICALS circulate threedays as usual.

TEXTBOOKS and books reserved forspecial use must be obtained by asking theperson at the library desk. They may betaken any time during the day and returnedany time the next day. A fine of 25 centsis charged if over-due.

EXAMINATION QUESTIONS are sub-ject to the same regulations as TEXT-BOOKS.

These regulations apply to students butnot doctors.

Public Health NotesOnly 21 states have had a gain in the

number of D.O.s in the state in the lasteight years. States with the largest gainswere Delaware, Florida, Michigan, Texas,Arizona, Hawaii, Indiana, Ohio and Oregon.All are unlimited practice right states.States providing for only restricted prac-tice showed a decrease in the number ofD.O.'s. Physicians and Surgeons, D.O., arelocating to the greatest degree in statespermitting the full use of their educationand training, which number now some 36states, the District of Columbia and theTerritory of Hawaii.

The Public Health Service has pub-lished a guide of basic concepts and ter-minology in connection with the householdinterview phase of the National HealthSurvey. The guide lists the definition of"physician" as meaning a doctor of med-icine or a doctor of osteopathy; no othersare recognized.

EducationIn the June, 1958, graduating classes

of the osteopathic colleges 437 doctors grad-uated. These doctors are now engaged inone year hospital intern training programsin one of the ninety-five hospitals approvedfor intern training by the A.O.A. Bureauof Hospitals.

Washington News LetterPsychiatric Training for GP's. Osteo-

pathic colleges, hospitals, clinics, and osteo-pathic societies can now obtain funds fromthe National Institute of Mental Health todevelop and conduct postgraduate courses,institutes, and seminars in psychiatry forgeneral practitioners. The Federal objec-tive in stimulating these courses is to in-crease the competence of physicians whocontinue practicing in their own field. Thistraining which would be by or under theauspices of osteopathic institutions or organ-izations should serve a compelling needand be in great demand by general practi-tioners of the osteopathic profession. It willbe observed that all NIMH grants underthe program are to be made to schools orother organizations. None is made to in-dividuals.

That facet of the program which wouldextend grants for residency training wouldapply to osteopathic institutions who ob-tain AOA approval for psychiatric residen-cy training.

THE LOG BOOK

L.O.G.Well finals have come and gone; inter-

seqssion flew by like a Sputnik; and nowit's time for a new semester. Looking backupon the last /semester, we can say it reallywas a rich and enjoyable one.

On the academic field, LOG has had someextremely successful worknights. The Dia-betes and the Cancer worknights stand outespecially. LOG would like to thank Drs.Woods, Minnick, and Ketman for their par-ticipation in the Cancer worknight.

On the social front, we saw the Picnic,the Senior Banquet, the Stag, the Wive'sTea, the Fall Frolic, and numerous par-ties, not to mention the engagements andmarriages which I guess are Social accom-plishments.

Athletically, we had inter fraternal base-ball, basketball, football and golf. Tennisanyone?

It was a semester that saw LOG gain 24new pledges to increase its Tanks to- thelargest ever. By the way have you boughtyour ticket to the Pledge's Barn Dance? Itwill be held on Saturday night, February21, at the Jewish Community Center. Allare invited.

With so many members, we were reallyfeeling our oats. We undertook to paint theclinic, took orphans on a picnic, and chal-lenged the members of the I.F.C. to an in-ter-fraternity basketball game.

In order that the memory of all thesewonderful activities should not be lost,Harvey Micklin took 16 mm movies of allthe affairs to be shown to future mem-bers. A new scrap book has been inaugu-rated to capture in photographs all thefun and joy we have had at C.O.M.S.

Congratulations to Brother Aks on hismarriage, and wishing you all the best ofluck in this new semester. R. L.

I. T. S.Now that final exams are over and the

new semester started, we can once moredirect our efforts toward fraternity activ-ities. On Monday evening at 8:00 P. M.we considered a worknite on Neuroanatomyand Neurophysiology in room 202 of theCollege building. Dr. Wilford Nusser, Asst.Professor of Physiology, C.O.M.S. was thefeatured lecturer. This worknite was ex-tremely helpful to the freshman and pro-vided a good review for the upperclassmenas well. The worknite committee is plan-ning some very fine worknites for thiscoming semester and it behooves all of us,to take the opportunity to increase ourknowledge by attending them.

Plans are also underway to begin ourinitiation of pledges. Because the initiationactivities are extremely important to theChapter, we extend a special invitation toall ITS alumni to attend these activities.We will announce the time and dates insufficient time for participation in the ini-tiation activities. We enjoy alumni partici-pation in all of our activities and extendan invitation to attend all of our meetingsand social functions.

Our congratulations are extended toBrother "Olaf" Slocum for breaking allexisting ski records up at Mt. Telemarkand also to Brother "Mario" Sprague forbreaking all existing foreign car speedrecords up 6th Ave. H. W.

AtlasAs we all know by now, everything is over

but the shouting. It has been a most illum-inating semester, both from the standpointof knowledge and grades. As for the shout-ing, it was long and loud, but as usualineffectual and inextricable. Enough aboutthe school, now to more pleasant subjects.

During the semester interim, many ofus journeyed home only to be washed outby floods. This didn't discourage us though,as we enjoyed the swimming immensely,returning to Des Moines well rested.

On Jan. 28 at 8:00 P.M. the pledges un-derwent the first phase of their activation,and will conclude the second phase in afew weeks. We will be most anxious toaccept these men in our ranks, as we feelthem well qualified. Refreshments followedand all had an excellent opportunity to con-verse, getting to know each other better.

The time is fast approaching when wewill send out semi-annual letters to thealumni, asking them to pledge their sup-port as they have done in the past. Asin years gone by, we will appreciate hearingfrom you, even if it is just a few wellchosen words at the bottom of your return,letting us know if you approve of our fra-ternity activities offering any constructivecriticism.

The Atlas House improvement programis taking on a project of refinishing a por-tion of the basement floor, thus having atiled area for dancing which has been sorelyneeded for some time. This is just one ofthe many improvements made possible onlyby 100% support of the alumni and activemembers.

Time to return to the books, sometimesby choice, sometimes not, but always re-membering, "not in doing what you like,but in liking what you do is the secret ofhappiness."

P. S. G.The Christmas vacation and the semester

break are once again behind us and all ex-cept the seniors are ready to dive headlonginto a solid semester of study. The holidayseason, as true to P.S.G. tradition, was abee-hive of activity. Socially speaking, asmash New Years party was held at thehouse. Over seventy couples were in at-tendance and occupied themselves with suchactivities as dancing, gaining holiday pound-age, and quenching their thirst. The climaxof the festivities occurred at 12:00 mid-night when the new babe, 1959, was for-mally ushered in by our distinguishedguest, Dr. Miroyiannis, with pie pan andspoon in hand.

It was a touching scene as age gave wayto youth, and many tears were forciblyretained. The merriment continued till thewee small, and not a discouraging wordwas heard.

In the house improvement department, agreat step forward was noted, thanks tothe combined efforts of a group of seniors.The kitchen with its new tile and paint iscompeting with Betty Crocker's charm kit-chen for the Good Housekeeping kitchen ofthe year. Simultaneously, a second group ofmembers were sanding the living room floorand lustering it with a new coat of varnish.

The new semester should be a real chal-lenge for the underclassmen. The rumorhas it that the freshmen who were oftenlast semester heard talking to themselveshave been seen this semester answeringtheir own questions. The sophomores don'teven talk, they just mumble and drag theirfeet. D. T.

Hundreds of osteopathicphysicians and surgeons throughout theUnited States and Canada have been un-derstanding, showing consideration, coop-eration, appreciation, sympathy and res-pect for students and those members of theeducational public whose responsibilitieshave been increased extensively in counsel-ing our children in a choice of vocation.

A comparatively short time ago, fewpreprofessional colleges and even fewerhigh schools were thoroughly acquaintedwith the osteopathic profession, its collegesand its high standards. Some osteopathicphysicians are assisting in the counselingprograms of a number of preprofessionalcolleges and high schools in cooperationwith faculty members of those institutions.

Each doctor should and must do his bestto help.

Now, with the advent of the WashingtonOsteopathic Association establishing ascholarship program for Washington stu-dents, we will have an even greater oppor-tunity to let the public know what the pro-fession has been doing, and is doing, forthe betterment of health for greater livingas we know it today.

2 Lay Members NamedTo Foundation Board

CHICAGO (AOA) - The first two laymembers of the board of the OsteopathicFoundation were elected by the AOA Boardof Trustees. Until now, the foundation boardhas consisted of the same members as theAOA Board.

Named were Herbert E. Evans of Col-umbus, Ohio, vice president of the PeoplesBroadcasting System, and H. John Eastmanof Denver, president of the Eastman OilWell Supply company.

Seals Bring $59,000,Still Shy of Goal

CHICAGO-The 1958 osteopathic Christ-mas seal campaign reached $59,000 of itsdrive for $75,000 late in February.

A final appeal was set for doctors andauxiliary members as the campaign lagged$1200 behind the 1957 mark for the samedate. The 1957 campaign raised $66,000.

Students and student wives in the sixosteopathic colleges contributed $4100 tothe project of raising money for studentloans and research.

The leading five states were New Yorkwith $5002, Pennsylvania with $4286, Cali-fornia with $4271, Michigan with $4032,and Illinois with $3688.

Scholarships GivenThree students in osteopathic colleges

will benefit from scholarships establishedby two medical supply houses.

Beginning in the fall of 1959 the G. A.Ingram Co., of Detroit will sponsor two$250 scholarships for second year studentsfrom Michigan at any of the six schools.The program will be administered by thescholarship committee of the Auxiliary ofthe AOA.

A senior student from Florida will re-ceive $100 as a scholarship sponsored bythe Surgical Equipment Co. of Tampa,Florida, "in the name of doctors of osteo-pathy from central west coast of Florida.

AOA Council Creates NineCommittees; Prominent

Persons Sought For BoardCHICAGO (AOA)-The AOA Council on

Development has created a series of com-mittees to approach nine defined publicgroups, announced its chairman, Dr. Wil-liam B. Strong of Brooklyn, New York.

The AOA has retained a Chicago coun-seling agency, Gonser and Gerber, to as-sist the council and the Osteopathic Foun-dation. "The work of Gonser and Gerberrepresentatives with council members andAOA central office staff members will in-sure that the development program is con-tinued at the accelerated pace," said Dr.True B. Eveleth, AOA executive secretary.

At September and October meetings, theneed for an approach to specific groups inthe American public to gain wider recogni-tion of the profession and to obtain fundsfor osteopathic education from private phil-anthropy. The committees resulted.

Gonser and Gerber were employed in1955 by the ,AOA to make a survey of theprofession. One of the recommendations intheir report was the creation of a develop-ment program. Robert Parrish and RobertTinker of the firm are assigned to the AOAfor the current project. The firm ,has beenretained on a yearly contract.

The use of a counseling firm has meantthat the AOA will not fill immediately theposition of director of the Osteopathic Foun-dation, Dr. Eveleth said. One of the ob-jectives of the development program is theinclusion of prominent persons outside theprofession on the foundation board and aredefinition of its goals.

The nine committees named by Dr. Strongare a nucleus of much larger groups aseach of them brings in members of the pro-fession to concentrate on these specificareas.

New BookThe College Library has received a book

I.T.S.On Tuesday nite, March 3, 1959, we began

our initiation of pledges with the bestowingof the first degree upon our new actives tobe. We are all sincerely looking forward tothe remainder of the initiation ceremonies,so that we can bring these new men into thefraternity.

We are very happy to announce thatMrs. Jerry Tolan ("Bernie") wife of Bro-ther Tolan has been selected as our Queencandidate for the Pacemaker Ball. We feelthat she is a lovely candidate and wish herluck in her bid for Pacemaker Queen.

The fraternity wishes to extend our con-gratulations to Dr. Leo D. Luka (BetaAlumni) on his appointment as PolkCounty Coroner. This is a very importantposition and carries with it a great deal ofresponsibility and we convey to Dr. Lukaour wishes of success in this office. Alsoanother Beta Alumni spent some time at theCollege this week, giving the Junior Classa lecture on "The Country Doctor." Dr.Howard Paul L. Dolyak of Stuart, Iowabrought the class some of "whys and hows"of a rural practice. We were happy to seeDr. Dolyak and hope he returns again soon.

P.S.G.The Ides of March are upon us with the

notable lion forcing the feeble lamb toshiver in the shadows till Mom nature pullsher blanket of white from her bed of green.Then emerging gayly with the boundingfleece will go the P.S.G. picnic goers andtheir frisky fers. To the freshmen whohave yet to attend one of our spring func-tions we offer a word of caution, sleep tightthe night before, for in the words of afamous senior, "It is a blast, man."

A stag night was held for the membersand pledges with Dr. Juni being the guestspeaker. He delivered a fine dissertationon the treatment of office emergencies, asubject which is extremely important tomany of us who are planning on generalpractice. Following this the card gameswent into the "wee small."

The freshmen are diligently working ontheir pledge party to be held April theeighteenth. This affair has in the past beenone of the biggest parties of the year andfrom the looks of the elaborate preparationsthis year will be no exception. I know allthe actives are anxiously awaiting the date.

The first six weeks are behind us, andthe sophomores have gotten their feet wetin respect to the clinic courses. As a matterof fact some of us have dampened a littlemore than our feet and are gasping forbreath. But then I guess it is all part ofgrowing up.

A belated Happy St. Pats to all the Sonsof Ireland, and to those who claim it fortheir day a happy belated April 1st.

Students Get AidMore than a fourth of the 399 students

at the Kansas City College of Osteopathyand Surgery are receiving financial aidfrom the school, reports its president.

Wives ClubThe Students' Wives Club has adopted

as their annual project, the establishmentof an Endowment Fund for the College ofOsteopathic Medicine and Surgery. Thefunds are to be earmarked for expansionpurposes only and the administration ofthem will be in the hands of the Board ofTrustees. During the fall semester, theclub raised $141.6.3 and received $889 fromthe Polk County Auxiliary, the proceedsfrom their annual Benefit Ball. This semes-ter, the wives club will be again engagedin raising money to enlarge the fund.While the club expects to solicit funds fromthe Osteopathic Auxiliaries across the coun-try and friends of the profession, the prac-ticing physicians will not be expected tocontribute, since they are already support-ing the college to the limits of their ability.(Of course, we will be delighted to acceptany contributions the doctors have to makeand some local physicians have already in-dicated that they are interested in ourplans and wish to contribute.)

, * *

On February 24th at their first meetingof the semester the Wives Club installedtheir newly elected officers. They were:President, Mrs. Harold Bienenfeld; 1st VicePresident, Mrs. Samuel Kligerman; 2ndVice President, Mrs. James Hicks; Secre-tary, Mrs. Robert Cohn; Treasurer, Mrs.Walter Wunderlich.

The installation was conducted by pastpresidents, Mrs. Bill Stoerkel and Mrs. Lud-wig Ginkle.

A regular Business meeting was held onMarch 10 in Room 202 at the college. TheService Committee announced that progressis being made on the drapes for the O.B.ward at the hospital. Our annual grouppicture was taken at the close of the meet-ing.

We were very proud to hear Dr. GeorgeW. Northrup, President of the AOA speakat our last meeting on Monday, March23rd.

'Support-Thru-Dues'Urged For 13 States

CHICAGO (AOA) - The AOA Osteo-pathic Progress Fund committee will urgeadoption of its "support-thru-dues' plan ofgiving by 13 state societies in 1959, an-nounced its chairman, Dr. Charles L. Naylorof Ravenna, Ohio.

States to which the appeal will be madeare Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Massachu-setts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York,Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, WestVirginia and Wisconsin. Thirteen states al-ready contribute thru the plan.

"If these states will adopt support-thru-dues, is will help greatly to meet the milliondollar OPF quota for support to osteopathiceducation," said Robert Bennett of Chicago,new OPF director.

Contributions to the fund thru Januarytotaled $446,447, or 44 percent of its goal.The 1957 campaign had reached $380,917 atthe same time. Some 3683 doctors have con-tributed an average of $121 each to makethe amount.

ATLASA merry hand shake and a congratulatory

smile were in order when the pledges be-came actives.

During the swearing in ceremonies, thefreshmen's physiology rabbit got loose andhopped in front of those waiting to be pin-ned. Proceedings were delayed for a fewminutes while the rabbit was penned in-stead of pinned with a rather firm size 10.

After reading the by laws and constitu-tion, pins were presented to all the newmembers. Eugene Timmons gave a veryinspiring talk, placing emphasis on themeaning of fraternalism, and how onlygood can be derived, if the proper attitudeis maintained a tall times.

A party followed, and try as we may thebeer keg maintained its equilibrium, andthat is more than we can say for a fewothers. Incidentally the next meeting wehave, will someone invite Herb Kaufman aweek in advance, as he has to come by dogsled. Lots of luck.

Election of officers for the second semes-ter was held February 24th, and the follow-ing men will hold the reigns until June.Eugene Timmons was elected president,Chris Ventresco, vice president, JamesJackson, treasurer, and Frank Tepner, sec-retary. We would like to wish them allgood luck, and also extend our thanks tothe past president Harry Davis for a mostprosperous and entertaining term. Yourswill be hard shoes to fill, but we knowGene is very capable.

This semester the Atlas living roomscene has had a change of faces, also a fewold ones held over. The Freshmen now oc-cupy the T.V. chairs and the sophomoresthe upper study. We hear via the grapevine, this will be a permanent change, asthere seems to be no relief in sight for theclass of '61. After thinking over the eventsof last semester, I realize it is not hard tomake a mountain out of a mole hill, all youhave to do is add a little "dirt."

STREET SCENES:News has it that Nick Rimedio made

seven house calls during the day of the"Big Snow." Is this true Doctor?

Council SuggestsState Development

CHICAGO (AOA) -Divisional societieswill be urged to create development com-mittees, the AOA Council on Developmentdecided at its December meeting.

Each state will be asked to name fivepersons to a committee to consider devel-opment, said Dr. William B. Strong of NewYork, council chairman. The state groupsshould include the society secretary, its at-torney, state OPF chairman and possiblylaymen who have an interest in osteopathyand might contribute to a program.

In another resolution, Lloyd Hall of To-peka, executive secretary of the KansasState Osteopathic Association and a councilmember, recommended that the councilstress estate planning to benefit osteopathiceducation. He recommended the employ-ment of an expert on estate planning.

Acting upon a report, Dr. Roy J. Harvey,AOA trustee from Midland, Michigan, thecouncil decided to investigate further theavailability of industry sponsored scholar-ships for osteopathis students.

The group learned that the original 17,-000 copies of its brochure, "Focus on theFuture," is exhausted and voted to obtain5000 more.

As reference committees of the council,Dr. Strong appointed Dr. Harvey and Mrs.George Cozma of Cleveland for research,Dr. Russell M. Husted of Long Beach,California, and Dr. True B. Eveleth, AOAexecutive secretary, for education and col-leges, and Mr. Hall and Dr. R. N. MacBain,president of the Chicago College of Oste-opathy, for hospitals.

The council approved two nationallyprominent business executives for nomina-tion to the AOA Board of Trustees to be-come members of the board of the Osteo-pathic Foundation. They will be the firstlaymen to sit on what is intended to be anall-lay board for the foundation, Dr. Strongexplained.

Urge Priority ToResearch Programs

The Federal Government has been urgedby the Pharmaceutical ManufacturersAssociation to give priority to medical re-search programs and thus help avert ashortage of medical scientists.

Representing the nation's drug manu-facturers, the organization said basicknowledge in modern medicine should bedeveloped rapidly, and the governmentshould aid with well directed subsidies.

The P. M. A. added the aid should go tonon-profit institutions, rather than drugindustry laboratories.

Christmas Seal FundNow Totals $63,739

CHICAGO Returns for the 1958 Os-teopathic Christmas seal campaign nowtotal $63,739.84, according to the April 6report.

Money from the campaign is used forstudent loan and osteopathic research.

Although the campaign continues to lagbehind its goal of $75,000, late reports areexpected to bring final total up to the$66,000 collected in the 1957 drive.

New York continues to lead the statesin total contributions with Pennsylvaniasecond. Alabama ranks first in percentageof doctors participating; Louisiana is firstfor total membership contribution; Virginiais first in average size of contribution perparticipant.

P. S. G.With the memoirs of the great pledge

party still in our minds we enter into thefinal month of the school year. It certainlyhas been full of fun, excitement and muchlearning-but not in that order.

The recent school picnic found severalof our members bringing fame and misfor-tune to our honored crest. Earl Scheidlerand John Waite won trophies for tennisand golf for the fame and George Thomp-son, Dick Josef and Barry Szezesny swamthe channel for the misfortune. All threeare currently communicating with MissChadwic.

The senior banquet is to be held on May31. It is the final farewell to our soon cap-italistic brothers. We hope that they won'tforget to send us a note now and then, pre-ferably a bank note.

Joe Treon has been selected to be Sher-ing's representative for the summer months.

Recent elections found Jack Knable em-erging as President for the next schoolyear. Assisting him will be Bill Laven-dusky, Vice President; Don Turner, Sec-retary; Dale Gierthy, Treasurer; Earl Gon-yaw, House Manager; Lou Terpster, Sgt.at Arms; and Joe Treon, Pledgemaster.

Bob Campbell would like his name men-tioned in the LOG BOOK.

We hope to see all of you next Septem-ber and remember Sophomores that bac-teria do not invade the kidney in acuteglomerulonephritis.

THE LOG BOOK

AtlasWith the passing of May we say good-

bye to parties, raffles, and worknights andour two seniors Eugene Timmons andChristy Ventresco. With deep regret wewill watch our "walking encyclopedia,"Eugene Timmons, leave the Atlas House.He has been not only a ready and willingsource of reference but a stimulus to us all,and will certainly be missed. When biddingfarewell to Christy Ventresco, we mustthank him for guiding the Atlas Housethrough some of its hardest years. We willmiss his "war stories" and familiar laughwhich we all know so well. Both men willbe interning at Riverside Hospital, in Tren-ton, Michigan, so we know Atlas will berepresented.

We would like to extend many thanksto our queen, Betty Davis, for her repre-sentation to our fraternity at the Pace-maker Ball. Betty looked wonderful in herice blue gown, and we were proud to haveher as our Queen. Along with Betty, wecan't forget to thank her husband, Harry,who made a very handsome escort, indeed.

Last Saturday night we had a very illu-minating worknight conducted by Dr. Bur-rows on delivery technique. Films wereshown and Dr. Burrows commented on themand later lectured on the various ramifica-tions of delivery technique. Refreshmentswere served and a healthy reparte was en-joyed by all. We will be looking forwardto having Dr. Burrows with us again nextfall.

Our annual raffle this year was centeredaround a portable stereo hi-fi set. Thedrawing was held on May 16, and the Atlashouse was splitting at the seams with theanxious ticket holders. Our only regret isthat we couldn't make everyone a winnerlike Carl Roberts. We would like to thankall the students and alumni for supportingthis function.

This brings us up to the last event ofthe school year, that being our senior ban-quet. This year it was held at the Casa-Loma Supper club. The food was excellentas was the after dinner speech made byDr. Higley. Dancing was enjoyed by all,thus rounding out a perfect evening.

This being the last time yours truly willbe writing this article, I would like toleave you with this thought by Ralph Wal-do Emerson, "to have a friend you mustbe a friend."

The third conference on research spon-sored by the AOA Bureau of ResearchMarch 7 and 8 attracted 37 doctors, teach-ers and osteopathic students.

The standardization of scientific terminol-ogy used on osteopathy and the problemsof teaching osteopathic principles were dis-cussed at two group meetings March 11-14 under the sponsorship of the AOA Bu-reau of Professional Education and Colleges.

and Robert E. Pike of the Chicago Collegeof Osteopathy, presented scientific papersto the conference on research. Thirteenother teachers and researchers reported onprojects. Dr. Price E. Thomas of the Kirks-ville college was conference chairman.

There is a need to make osteopathicnomenclature understandable to scientistsoutside the profession, Dr. W. FraserStrachan of Chicago told the committee onnomenclature. 'We must avoid elaborateterminology which has only a theoreticalbasis and discard timeworn, poorly sub-stantiated generalizations regarding the na-ture of the osteopathic lesion."

A seminar on teaching of osteopathicprinciples and practice discussed the se-mantic problem as it concerned education.

Who's Carrying The LoadSubtitled "Osteopathic Physicians or

Doctors of Medicine?" makes interestingreading. Reprinted are a few paragraphsfrom The Journal, Vol. XXIV, No. 2 officialpublication of the Oklahoma OsteopathicAssociation.

"A most interesting report has been pre-pared by Taylor and Lea, Inc., of Philadel-phi, Pa. These people are experts in thefield of conducting research into the variousbusinesses and occupations.

"This research was made from tenstates which contained about seventy-fiveof the active practicing physicians. Thefollowing was noted from this report.

"Average number of drugs used per day:D.O., 22.4; M.D., 25.2

"Average number of patients per day:D.O., 16.9; M.D., 20.2

". .. Osteopathic physicians were foundto use drugs in 83% in the office aainst74% in the office by Doctors of Medicine.

"... In the issuance of drugs the fol-lowing comparison was noted: In the officeand home, administered: D.O., 37.6%; M.D.35.1% ... In the office and home, dis-pensed: D.O. 36.2%; M.D., 18.6% . . . Inthe office and home prescribed: D.O., 25.8%;M.D., 42.4% . .

ScholarshipsThe Texas Auxiliary of the Osteopathic

Physicians and Surgeons Association an-nually awards a deserving Texas student a$500.00 Scholarship. The student is chosenfrom names of two candidates submitted bythe Dean of each College. This award is notmade to the same school for two successiveyears.

James R. Leach, sophomore student, fromValley View, Texas, was chosen to receivethe award for 1959-1960, the presentationwas made at the President's Ball last May1, in Huston, Texas as part of the annualTexas Convention.

This marks the first time in many yearsthat a student from C.O.M.S. was selectedto receive this ward.

Application forms for the National De-fence Student Loan can now be filled outand submitted for consideration. Theseforms can be picked up in the office of Mr.Cecil Looney.

OPF director Robert Bennett of Chi-cago said that several states which con-tribute with a "support-thru-dues" pro-gram have not yet reported. He expressedhope that the current campaign would sur-pass the $743,749 raised in the drive end-ing in June 1958.

During the year ending in June 1958,medical doctors contributed $1,133,664 tosupport of the 85 schools of medicine ap-proved by the American Medical Associa-tion, according to a report from the Amer-ican Medical Education Foundation. In thesame period, the National Fund for Medi-cal Education, which raises money fromoutside sources, reported contributions of$3 million to the medical schools.

"The osteopathic profession has longbeen proud of its tradition of giving be-fore asking others to ive," said A.O.A.president Dr. George W. Northup of Morris-town, New Jersey.

Dr. Harmon's AddressDr. H. G. Harmon was the principal

speaker at the recent graduation exercisesof the College. Below is a summary of hisspeech as was printed in the June 6, 1959issue of the Des Moines Register. It waswritten by a Register Staff Reporter, LuluMae Coe. The Summary is as follows:

"Osteopaths today will be called upon totreat effects of mental and emotionalplagues more than the serious physicalplagues that scourged mankind.

"Because they will be called upon to min-ister to the whole man, Dr. Harmon saidtoday's young osteopaths will have the com-munity in its widest sense as their post.

He termed this "creative living," whichis more than clinical or preventive medi-cine. He said over the last few years doc-tors had moved from their offices, labora-tories and hospitals into "the widest part ofthe community," to maintain physical, men-tal and emotional health.

Dr. Harmon mentioned a number of so-cial plagues the men will meet in the courseof their practice. Included were vocationalinsecurity, overabundance, loneliness, oftenmost serious when a person is not alonein fact; age with its feeling of "worthless-ness."

Dr. Harmon declared that this service,whatever its basic scientific exactness, de-mands even more that the young osteopathsbe "doctors of humanity."

Speaking as a layman, Dr. Harmon saidit appeared the physician's interest over thelast few decades had shifted from a partic-ularized concern with the dying to "thethoroughly alive."

Dr. Harmon listed four social pressuresthat have contributed to this changingthought-development of laboratories withtheir quantities of factual information onthe total body science; a quickened consci-ousness of a person's right to live abund-antly as long as possible; rapidly growingpopulation; and the patient's own attitude.

The patient's attitude, he explained, nowmeans full and abundant life, protected bythe latest methods before it becomes im-paired.

Dr. Harmon said that a tremendouschange from the days when the family de-layed calling a physician as long as possibleto avoid frightening the patient."

t,{urred liesignal riollNoted in the Bulletin of the N. J. Asso.

of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons,July, 1959, is the following titled "Osteo-pathic Physicians." It might well applylocally.

An effort has been made in past yearsin acquainting state officials, insurancecompany people, Blue Cross officials, news-paper editors and many others to use the

designation "osteopathic physician" or"D.O." rather than "osteopath." An allo-pathic physician does not refer to himselfas an "allopath."

In those states where osteopathic .physi-cians are licensed for unlimited practice asphysicians and surgeons it is always bestto refer to members of the profession -as"osteopathic phvsicians."

"Osteopathy WinsHospital Backing"

On August 27, 1957, The New YorkTimes reported that the trustees of theAmerican Hospital Association had votedto recognize hospitals that permitted osteo-pathic physicians to practice, provided thatdoctors of medicine supervised the work.When the new policy will be put into effecthas not yet been announced.

In commenting upon the training of os-teopathic physicians, The Times pointed outthe special training of the doctors in ma-nipulative methods for the detection andcorrection of faulty bone structure andother conditions, as well as their use of"accepted physical, medicinal and surgicalmethods."

The Times further stated that "in recentyears schools of osteopathy have sought butfailed to obtain acceptance by the AmericanMedical Association." We regret the incor-rect nature of this statement, and wish topoint out that proper steps are being takento correct the error.

We are pleased that there is a continuedgrowth of communication, understandingand respect based upon the merits, betweenthe allopathic and osteopathic professions.

Atlas ClubThe following was an interview over-

heard during the summer:

"Pardon me, sir, what is that you're do-ing?" "Uh . . . Oh! . . . I'm installing thislatest model gas furnace!" "Oh, I see, anair-conditioning and heating expert bytrade" "No . . . I wouldn't say that. Thisis just a hobby of mine. I derive a greatdeal of pleasure and satisfaction out ofmaking anonymous phone calls to Plumb-ing and Heating Supply Dealers and thensupervising the tearing apart of old furn-aces and the installation of spanking,brand-new ones."

"Tell me, then, what is your regularpursuit?" "Oh, I'm an Osteopathic Phy-sician by choice and an Atlas member bynecessity!" "Why do you say necessity?"

"Simply because the betterment of theProfession can best be realized through af-filiation with a dynamic organization dedi-cated to its advacement." "I see you're aman who thinks for himself. Would youadvise others to join Atlas?" "I advise ev-eryman to think for himself, but if onewishes to be a part of a group which willbest serve the interests of personal satis-faction and professional life, then he willcertainly give Atlas a try."

All the boys at Atlas wish to extend acordial welcome to the two new arrivals atthe house: Ralph Martin from Youngs-town and Chuck Claffery from Chicago.This makes three "Youngstowners" livingunder one roof. At this rate we will haveto change the name of our house to the"Youngstown Travelers Aid Club" althoughthe first part of the name is rather inap-propriate considering the presence of BobO'Neill and Chuck Claffery.

We wish to thank Dr. Ketman for hisgenerosity in providing Atlas Club with abeautiful new kitchen range.

Congratulations to brother Al Ross forbeing nominated to the P.S.A. honoraryscholastic fraternity.

Social activity within the fraternity hasbeen brisk. Dick Clark has a new wife,Treve, whom he married in WashingtonState this past summer. Vic Goble, ourimmediate past president, has at last setthe date (next June) with Kathleen Garn.Fred Carpenter has set the same monthfor himself and Dorothy Roudabush, andlikewise, Don Beckman, associate editor ofthe college yearbook, with Kathleen Fuller.Jerry Blue and Sue White may do thesame if they don't jump the gun and marryover the Christmas vacation.

Pictured here from a dance at the Ho-tel Kirkwood, are; from 1. to r. DorothyCrosby, Joanne Ginkel, Kay Dzmura,Sue White, Jerry Blue and Dr. S. D.Miroyiannis.

Dick Vermillion and Hugh Oliver are theofficial team (student) physicians for EastHigh School here, and Ed Running andJohn Walker are the same for NorthHigh. They travel with the team, do allpre-game tapings, and have the first re-sponsibility on injuries. Dick and Hughbrag that East is unbeaten, while Ed andJohn brag that North is uninjured. We allbrag about the good work they do and thegood will they generate. Also, Dick andEd (not counting their teams) have thebusiest clinic practices in the Senior class.

When we I.T.S. men of Des Moines meettogether we take a quiet pride in eachother and in everyone's accomplishments,both public and private. We have tradi-tionally been the group most intent on de-veloping extracurricularly our manipulativeskills, and we feel that we are learning bet-ter to help ourselves, our fellow studentsand, eventually, our profession. These aimsare made much more attainable by the in-terest and encouragement of numerousgraduates, of whom Dr. Donald Sloan andDr. Harold Dresser must be especiallycited with our affection for the time andactivity they have shared with us.

L. 0. G.The annual LOG picnic held at the be-

ginning of the semester at Birdland Parkwas the usual success that it has enjoyedduring the past number of years. Therewas baseball, football and all kinds of re-freshments. The egg throwing contest wasnot won by a freshman or even by a LOGmember. Their names shall be withheld.

(Reprint from December 4, 1959 edition ofthe Des Moines Register, Des Moines, Iowa)

The College of Osteopathic Medicine andSurgery Thursday started what it expectsto become an annual project to interest highschool seniors in the field of healing arts.

Boys and girls from the Des Moines pub-lic high schools were guests at an openhouse at the college, 722 Sixth Ave. Sixdemonstrations were conducted for the stu-dents, split into small groups.

Dr. Myron S. Magen, chairman, depart-ment of pediatrics, and program chairmanfor the open house, said:

"It is known that 20,000 more physicianswill be needed by 1975 and at least 10 moremedical schools and two more osteopathicschools will be needed to :provide thosephysicians."

He pointed out that the problem is toattract high school students to the healingarts, either as physicians, dentists, nurses,or laboratory technicians.

The demonstrations were in the anatomylaboratory, in bacteriology, physiology, theheart station, pathology laboratory andblood laboratory.

What They Did

Students listened to heart beats, sawtissue being examined in the pathologylaboratory, and saw blood typed.

Only interested high school seniors wereinvited. The college plans to invite seniorsfrom other cities and from Polk County toa similar program later in the school year.

Intramural basketball is underway at theWilkie House gymnasium each Saturdayafternoon. All classes are urged to par-ticipate in these sessions. The possibility ofbowling on an intramural level is beinginvestigated. We hope that it will material-ize since much interest has been expressedin such an activity.

Congratulations are in order to:

Jr. representative and vice-president EarlScheidler for his fine direction of the Christ-mas Seal Campaign for the College.

Jr. representative Don Turner for insti-tuting the weekly news bulletin for theCollege.

Student identification cards will be readyfor distribution early this semester. The de-lay has been due to the difficulty in ac-quiring certain materials needed for thelamination of the cards in plastic.

According to the new constitution, eachof the classes, except seniors, will send thevice-president of the class as the fifth rep-resentative of the Council.
