Oklahoma OsteopathicHospital Gets Federal

Aid for ExpansionCHICAGO (AOA) -The Public Health

Service recently awarded its first grantsunder a new three-year $90,000,000 pro-gram to help build more and better medicalresearch facilities.

The grants went to six hospitals andmedical schools. Almost half a million dol-lars in federal aid went to Tulsa's Okla-homa Osteopathic Hospital, with the ap-proval of the State Health Department.This grant includes $259,143 for a 60-bedgeneral addition to be built at an esti-mated cost of $647,859; $79,960 for an out-patient department expected to cost $159,-920, and $8,450 for a 26-bed chronic dis-eases wing, expected to cost $176,9081.

Congress set up the program last sum-mer to help public and private institutionsbuild and equip facilities for research inmedicine, osteopathy, dentistry. Public in-stitutions each put up half the cost of theconstruction projects.

THE LOG BOOK

The President ChatsThe crystal ball for 1957 holds unknown

surprises and heartaches for all of us. How-ever, we must enter the new year with op-timism. The past year has been a goodyear, our colleges have all made tremendouseducational advances, more research thanever before has come from the institutionsof Osteopathic education. More recognitionhas been given the profession on the Fed-eral level and the young people composingour student bodies are of such a caliberthat they would be a credit to any institu-tion of higher education in the country.

The greatest weakness of the past yearhas been the lack of financial support, fromthe public and from the profession, to ourcolleges.

Educational progress is costly; yes, verycostly, and due'to-various factors this col-lege has not been able to keep the addi-tional contributions sufficient enough dur-ing 1956 to balance our budget. In fact, 1956was a year that Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy and Surgery operated at a greatloss. While operating in the red is not un-usual for any institution of higher edu-cation, it is a condition that we do not liketo have exist.

Student tuition pays approximately one-third of the cost of the student's educationper year. The balance must come from so-ciety. Can we not muster the forces of so-ciety so that more contributions will beforthcoming to Osteopathic Education dur-ing 1957? This is our great challenge!

We are deeply appreciative to all whohave contributed to Osteopathic Educationduring this past year. Without your helpour educational program would have suf-fered. While we are proud of our school, weare not satisfied. 1957 must see continuedgrowth and expansion.

To all alumni and friends of Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy and Surgery weextend our sincerest wishes for a Happyand Prosperous New Year.

Congress Receives BillsThat Would Assist

StudentsSenator J. W. Fulbright has once again

introduced two bills to aid and assist stu-dents seeking higher education. The billsfirst introduced last April, were not actedupon before adjournment. It is hoped Con-gress will act on them during this session.Senator Fulbright considers these bills vitalto the development of our educational in-stitutions, and to the general educationalstandards of our country.

The first bill would allow an additionalincome tax exemption for a taxpayer ora spouse, or a dependent child under twen-ty-three years of age, who is a full-timestudent at an educational institution abovethe secondary level. The exemption maybe claimed by the taxpayer himself, or onaccount of a spouse or a dependent childunder the age of 23, who is iil attendanceon a full-time basis at an educational insti-tution above the secondary level.

The second bill would allow a taxpayer,who is a student in an institution of higherlearning to deduct expenses for books, tui-tion, fees, and other supplies necessary tothe courses of instruction in which he isenrolled. This bill is primarily designed toassist those students who work their ownway through college, and it would applyto both full-time and part-time students,whether self-supporting or supported byoutside sources.

The continually rising costs of a collegeeducation, of course, varies, but it is rea-sonable to estimate the average cost at$1,500 per year, or roughly $6,006 for a4-year college education. The cost of themore specialized courses in science andmedicine quite often is much more thanthis, and yet the parent, or the individualhimself, receives only a $600 a year per-sonal tax exemption. Consequently, thereis no incentive provided in our tax lawsfor one to pursue and educational goal.

There has been for decades a continualand serious deterioration in the generalquality of our education. More recently,we have read and heard much about themounting shortage of trained engineers andscientists in the United States. It is in-teresting to note that Universities and tech-nical institutions in Soviet Russia aregraduating engineers in numbers some twoand a half times greater than are similarinstitutions in the United States where weare now training only one-half the requirednumber of engineers and scientists. In thedecade 1950-1960, the Societ Union is ex-pected to produce 1,200,000 trained engi-neers and scientists as compared to our900,000. In the category of engineers alone,the Soviets have multiplied the numbertrained tenfold since 1930, when recordsshow they had 41,000 engineers. This sit-uation is all the more critical because ofthe demands, not only of industry, but ofnational security.

In addition to these considerations, publicand private educational institutions face aprecarious future. They are essential tothe preservation of our way of life. Thesebills, if enacted, would give them some as-sistance and enable them to accept addi-

High-Fidelity StethoscopeDeveloped in London

CHICAGO (AOA)-A- new high-fidelityamplifying stethoscope for doctors has beendeveloped by a physicist and a surgeon ofKing's College Hospital, London.

King's College Hospital, in releasing thestory, pointed out that the developers of theinstrument sought improvement over theordinary amplifying electronic stethoscopewhich they stated are of little value be-cause they distort some frequencies ofheart, lung and joint sounds.

The new device produces no backgroundnoise. The instrument has frequency con-trols that can be manipulated to bring outsounds that might otherwise be masked.Outside noises can be cut out when a doc-tor is listening to faint foetal heart sounds,for instance. The device may be used toadvantage by physicians with good hearingas well as by physicians with impairedhearing.

Dr. Peters is a32° Mason-Shriner.

Under the administration of Dr. Petersthe college enrollment has increased froma low of 41, due to wartime conditions, toan annual average enrollment of 240 stu-dents. The school also received approval inthe states of New York, California, Mass-achusetts, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, NewJersey, and Wisconsin. During this period,through the efforts of the Still CollegeOsteopathic Foundation, the building hous-ing the Still Osteopathic Hospital was pur-chased, remodeled, and dedicated on Oc-tober 6, 1946. The Clinic building was pur-chased in the fall of 1949 and extensiveremodeling was done during the 1954-55school year. Throughout the years a gradualprogram of remodeling the college buildinghas been in progress to make it more suit-able for college needs. The library was ex-panded to occupy the entire thirid floor oithe college building with 8500 volumes.

Like the other five osteopathic collegesDMSCOS receives yearly grants from theUnited States Public Health Service forCardio-vascular teaching and Cancer teach-ing in the amount of $25.000; and $14,000yearly for research under Dr. Beutner, and$15,000 yearly for Mental Hygiene teach-ing.

Due to the increase in enrollment andthe acquisition of the hospital and clinicthe number of employees has increasedfrom eight in 1946 to two-hundred, in-cluding forty full time faculty members.The annual budget has increased fromr$38,000 in 1946 to the present budget ofapproximately $1,000.000.00 The assets ofthe institution have increased from $170.-000 as of May 1945 to over $1,500,000.00 asof January 1, 1957.

The Board of Trustees wishes to thankDr. Peters for his valuable contributions tothe advancement of the college and theosteopathic profession and wishes him wellin his future endeavors.

Poison InformationCenter of Iowa

Dr. A. Edward A. Hudson, AssociateProfessor of Clinical and Chemical Path-ology at the Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy and Surgery, has been appoint-ed a member of the Advisory Committee forthe new Iowa Poison Information Centers.

Accidents are now the leading cause ofdeath throughout childhood and early adultyears. Appioxiiiately 1500 deatblhs due to

accidental poisoning in children are record-ed annually in this country. The actualnumber of accidental poisoning is probablymuch greater since many fatalities are notrecorded as to the exact cause or are at-tributed to other causes.

It is the crawling, ever-exploring toddlerwho gets into trouble. He is the 1 to 4-year old who is a taster by nature and any-thing about the house in cupboard or undersink in any container is apt to be sampled.Aspirin, kerosene and barbiturates are themost frequent troublemakers and can pro-duce rapid and fatal poisoning. Besidesthe medicinals, there are a host of house-hold products, such as cleaners, detergents,and pesticides which those youngsters mayinvestigate. When reassurance is neededas to their harmlessness or specific infor-mation is required for effective treatment,one often finds that the can or bottle isnot so labeled as to be of any assistancefrom a medical standpoint. We find our-selves seriously embarrassed as physiciansby the scant information especially of manyof the newer products for household use.

As evidence of this growing concern, theAmerican Academy of Pediatrics in 1950developed a National Committee on Acci-dent, Provont.ion untnder the leadership of Dr.George Wheatley of the Metropolitan LifeInsurance Company.

In November 1953, under the leadershipof Dr. Edward Press as Chairman of thePoisoning Control Committee of the Illi-nois Chapter of the American Academy ofPediatrics, a Chicago Poison InformationCenter was set up.

Three years later there are now morethan 35 poison centers in operation in thiscountry. The Iowa Poison InformationCenter is a logical development for a cen-trally located regional pediatric medicalcenter such as found at the Raymond BlankMemorial Hospital for Children where thereis available 24 hour resident physician cov-erage. The various hospitals in the statewill deal with cases of childhood poisoningas in years past and the diagnosis andtreatment of these cases will continue to bethe responsibility of the attending physi-cians. However, it seemed worthwhile tocreate a central point where information

The President ChatsA large percentage of our population is

becoming more and more interested in mak-ing investments in stocks and bonds. Theyare usually interested in making a CapitalGain; thus, receiving a tax benefit. Busi-ness operates for a profit and if the balancesheet is not in the black, dividends cannotbe paid and crelit is soon gone. Banks, in-surance companies and money-lending agen-cies are not interested in making loans ortaking mortgages for any corporation ifthe annual budget cannot be balanced.

The principles applicable to business cor-porations are also applicable to education-al corporations; but unfortunately, our ed-ucational corporations (colleges) do nothave a product to place on the open marketat a profit making price. The products ofour educational corporations are intangibleand thus, the ready market for the servicethat the educated younge person is able torender. While this product is most neededby society and the services rendered are al-ways a credit to the mother educational cor-poration, the cash received from the mar-keting of the product does not show acash profit for the corporation. In educa-tion the investment is made, the CapitalGains are evident, but a tax benefit is notrealized the same as it would be in a stockinvestment.

The entire framework of our society isbased upon our educational system. Democ-racy is the result of free enterprise andfree enterprise could not exist without Am-erican Education. Still, our colleges arefaced with mounting financial obligations,our accounts payable are increasing month-ly, more demands are constantly being madefor salary increases and personal fringebenefits but the income dollar does notwarrant these demands.

Shall we attempt a flight from reality byignoring the plight of our educational insti-tutions, or, shall we meet the challenge ofthe cost of education?

can be pooled and inquiries and cases re-ported be centralized.

In July 1956, plans were made in DesMoines for the establishment of a PoisonInformation Center of Iowa at the Ray-mond Blank Memorial Hospital under theauspices of the State Department of Healthwith the approval of the Pediatric Societyof Des Moines, Iowa Chapter of the Ameri-can Academy of Pediatrics, Iowa StateMedical Society, Polk County Medical So-ciety, Iowa Methodist Hospital and thePediatric Staff of Blank Hospital. Thepurposes of the Poison Information Centerof Iowa are:

1. Provide centralized information centerto pool information and centralize in-quiries.

2. Provide information for the physiciansfor getting the right thing done quicklyas- possible and providing- informationwhen the active ingredients in the poisoningested cannot be discovered locally.

3. When necessary, long distance telephonecalls will be made to the manufacturerdirectly to obtain the ingredients andsuggested methods of treatment will begiven to the physicians.

4. Help in the educational program vialiterature, radio and TV programs,PTA, and newspapers in accident pre-vention at home.

5. Provide nucleus for expansion of sub-centers throughout the State of Iowa.

6. Data on poison cases may be collectedfrom the sub-centers and the materialclassified and studied statistically. Datamay be sent to the National Poison In-formation Center for further study.

Organization:A permanent Poison Information Advis-

ory Committee will be created with repre-sentatives from several agencies on theCommittee: Hospital, Pediatric Organiza-tions, Medical Societies, Health Depart-ments, Coroners Offices, State University,State Toxicologist, and Universities. Asmaller Executive Committee will be cre-ated to supervise the immediate operationof the Poison Information Center and tohandle the technical aspects.

Operation:Provision for 24 hour service will be met

by the resident pediatrician on duty in theEmergency Ward of the Raymond BlankMemorial Hospital for Children where thenecessary reference material and basic in-formation cards will be filled. For theinitial period of operation, the present chiefresident in pediatrics at Blank Hospital(with postgraduate training in pharma-cology and toxicology) will participate ac-tively in the Information service provided.The resident on call will use his judgmentin deciding when to telephone his superioror the outside consultants designated. Theinformation given over the telephone (withthe exception of first aid directions to theparents) is relayed to the physicians incharge of the patient only. The attendingphysician is free to exercise his judgmentin accepting the information and applyingit. Thus, the responsibility for administer-ing treatment as the result of this tele-phone information REMAINS WITH THE

Christmas Seal DriveExceeds 1955 ReceiptsCHICAGO (AOA) - Receipt of about

$50,000 from 1956 osteopathic Christmasseal sales by February 1, indicated thatthe final total would surpass all priordrives. The 1955 sales produced $53,000for student loans and research in the osteo-pathic colleges.

On February 1, the leading state wasMichigan with an incomplete total of $4,-342.00. Close behind came California andNew York with $4,007.00 and $3,446.00 re-spectively. The next largest contributionsare credited to Illinois with $3,326.00 andOhio with $2,936.00.

On the basis of membership in AOA andthe Auxiliary, Washington leads the socie-ties with $16.06 per member, followed byIndiana with $14.26 per member.

"The greatly increased activity of thestate chairmen is the largest 'factor- in thesubstantial increase from 1955," accordingto Dr. E. H. McKenna, Muskegon Heights,Mich., Christmas seals committee chairman.He urged the early completion of reportsfrom state and district campaigns.

Dean's Letter onOpen-Mindedness

The following article is so suggestive andthought-provoking that it is presented hereverbatum from General Motors' ConsumersResearch Staff Booklet No. 38.

"Processionary caterpillars feed uponpine needles; they move through the treesin a long procession, one leading and theothers following-each with his eyes halfclosed and head snugly fitted against therear extremity of his predecessor.

"Jean-Henri Fabre, the great -.Frenchnaturalist, after patiently experimentingwith a group of these caterpillars, enticedthem to the rim of a large flower pot wherehe succeeded in getting the first one con-nected up with the last one, thus forming acomplete circle which started movingaround in a procession which had neitherbeginning nor end.

"The naturalist expected that after awhile they would catch on to the joke-gettired of their useless march and start offin some new direction, but not so.

"Through sheer force of habit the living,creeping circle kept moving around the rimof the pot, around and around, keeping thesame relentless pace for seven days andseven nights- and would doubtless havecontinued longer, had it not been for sheerexhaustion and ultimate starvation.

"Incidentally, an ample supply of foodwas close at hand and plainly visible, butit was outside the range of the circle sothey continued along the beaten path.

"They were following instinct-habit-custom-tradition-precedent--past experi-ence or whatever you may choose to callit, but they were following it blindly.

"They mistook activity for accomplish-ment, they meant well, but they got noplace."

Our next big affair will be the annualPledge Party. This year it will follow anovel motif. It's to be called a ShipwreckParty, and all attending must be appro-priately garbed for admittance below. Thedate is March 1st, 1957. Time is to be an-nounced and tickets will be sold. As in thepast, the refreshments are included in thecost of the ticket, and the ticket numberswill be used in a drawing for door prizes.

Entertainment will be provided by thepledge group.

Dr. Ronald Woods spoke at our lastWorknite .on February 18th. His topicwas Office Surgery, and was an excellentresume of minor surgical procedures forthe commonest encountered maladies. Thediscussion turned out to be a good reviewfor the juniors and seniors, and a good in-troduction for sophomores and freshmen totheir future course in minor surgery.

Our annual pledge initiation ceremonywill be March 9th, 1957. Any alumnus in-terested in attending please contact theHousemanager, Bob Cornwell.

Alumni tidbits should include a congratu-lations to George Evans, and we hope hisluck holds out for more good public re-lations work. Jack Thesing and Jack Her-zog, congratulations on your new $25,000clinic and for establishing your practicewhere doctors are really needed. (Note:they are the only physicians in the town.)Bill Eubanks should be wearing a biggersmile these days since Jean, his spouse, andSandy and Cindy, his progeny, are back inDes Moines now.

encounter L.O.G. Fraternity once moreshowed its basketball prowess with anothervictory over P.S.G. Fraternity. The samestars that took away P.S.G.'s mythical bas-ketball championship last year again hum-bled the overconfident group from the houseon Grand Avenue. Particular mentionmust be made of L.O.G. player Gerald Ben-aderet, who although injured, gamelyplayed on to score the winning basket. Wewould also like to congratulate that sopho-more L.O.G. trio of Martin Siegel, Harold(Hal) Bienenfeld and Ned Baron whosesuperlative ball handling dazzled the P.S.G.squad and aided immeasurably in the L.O.G.victory. Also from the showing of L.O.G.pledge Lawrence (Bunny) Goldman, itwould seem that P.S.G.'s chances of break-ing the L.O.G. basketball mastery next year-are almost nil -.

Credit must be given to the valiant P.S.G.five for its noble but vain effort. Rumorhas it that P.S.G. is going to throw a partyfor the L.O.G. basketball team. Such agesture exemplifies the fine sportsmanshipexisting between the two squads.

Kansas City to Have ChildHealth Conference

April 15 - 17Plans for the Silver Anniversary of the

National 'Osteopathic Child Health Confer-ence and Clinic have been completed, andall the scheduled conference lecturers havemade firm committments to appear. Theprogram includes a number of "hardy pe-rennials" who have been sparking the con-ference for years as well as a sprinkling ofnew faces.

Considerable interest has already beenshown in this year's conference as a resultof advance notices to the profession, andthe pre-conference registration has beenheavier than usual.

A definite departure from the formerplan of symposiums will be seen in thisyear's panel discussions. These will bemoderated by Ward Perrin who has oftendemonstrated his ability to bring a desira-ble degree of spontaneity and audience par-ticipation to group presentations so thatthe effect is that of a Seminar rather thanof several individual (and often uncoordin-ated) lectures.

Dr. Joseph Yasso, Chairman of Banquetsand Entertainment is arranging for an un-usually live floor show, and he reports thatexcellent danceable music will be providedby the band after the banquet and show.

Mrs. Nancy Greaves, President of theAuxiliary to the Jackson County Osteo-pathic Association, and her Committee,have arranged two chief events for thewives of the physicians attending the Con-ference. All visiting ladies are invited tobe guests of the Jackson County Osteo-pathic Association at a Reunion and GetAcquainted Tea in the Colonial Room of theMuehlebach, Monday, April 15, at 2:30P.M.

The following morning at 10:30, a fancybrunch is scheduled for the Trianon Roomof the Muehlebach. After the brunch anunusual program will be presented by theOsteopathic Student Wives Club of theKansas City College of Osteopathy andSurgery, but the Student Wives have re-fused any advance information and wanttheir program to be a surprise. The la-dies of the Auxiliary will be hostesses atthe Hospitality Room of the Muehlebachthroughout the three days of the Confer-ence and visiting ladies are urged to dropin at any time for coffee, bridge or gossip.

The Silver Anniversary Conferencepromises to be an exceptional program forboth the physicians and their ladies. Dr.Floyd E. Dunn, General Chairman, report-ed that all of his Conference chairmenhave succeeded in coming up with a bitof that extra effort needed to make an al-ways successful program become truly out-standing for 1957.

Emergency Fund Drive Tops $35,000A total of $35,000 has been received by the college since the drive for

"Emergency Funds" started on March 3.

On that date a group of 35 heard a stirring presentation of the critical needsof the Des Moines Still College of Osteopathy and Surgery by Dr. Robert D.McCullough, President of the American Osteopathic Association and Mr. MarionWallace, Chairman of DMS Board of Trustees.

Even though the above report is encouraging, I know you realize that weare not going to attain our minimum goal of $150,000 unless more alumni as-suime their share of their responsibility.

Osteopathic physicians practicing in Iowa have demonstrated that they aregetting behind this campaign by contributing $24,000 with the bulk of thatamount coming from Polk County.

The Auxiliary to the Polk County Society of Osteopathic Physicians andSurgeons has exhausted its treasury, contributing $1,500 to the campaign.

The American Osteopathic Association, through its Osteopathic Progress Fund,presented the college with two checks totalling $9,717.52. Mr. G. Willard King,O.P.F. Director, presented the checks to Mr. Wallace at the meeting on March 3.

Only one gift has been from outside the state of Iowa. This was a checkfrom Dr. and Mrs. W. D. Blackwood, DMS '33, Comanche, T.exas in the amountof $500. I know that there will be many more, because I refuse to believe thatan alumnus of this College will sit idly by while his institution faces a potentialthreat of foreclosure and disruption of our normal function.

The students, as well as the employees of the college, have complete faith inthe profession and are confident that they will meet this emergency with deter-mination and dollars. I would hate to see that faith shattered.

A large number of physicians have given more than their share. We knowthis. We are also cognizant of the fact that many doctors who are financiallyable to contribute have not done so.

At the March 3 meeting Dr. McCullough stated, "All teaching institutionshave had problems like this to face in the past. The test of any profession isits ability to meet and resolve a crisis. In short, it is no reflection on a schoolto have a financial crisis, but it is a reflection on the Trustees and the mem-bers of the Profession if that crisis is not vigorously met."

The future of your institution is in your hands, doctor.

The President ChatsThe clouds of war were disappearing on

the international horizon, as Japan hadsurrendered a few days before, and allknew that the men and women in uniformwould soon be separated from the service.to begin the task of becoming adjustedagain to home and civilian life. Therewere joys of anticipation for the new lifein the minds of all as families would bereunited, old acquaintances renewed andnew challenges accepted. Still, therewould be present that certain depressedfeeling as the call would be sounded forthe last formation, the last review, andbuddies would part for their homewardride.

Such were the conditions on that Sundayafternoon, August 19, 1945, when a long-distance call came in from Des Moines,Iowa. It was the voice of Dr. Mary E.Golden, inquiring if I would soon be sepa-rated from the Navy and, if so, would Ibe interested in the Presidency of the DesMoines Still College of Osteopathy andSurgery. My reply was, "I have been ex-tremely interested in Osteopathy since1923, but as to when my separation fromthe service would be forthcoming, I do notknow". The Doctor replied that an air-mail letter would be mailed me and thatshe sincerely wished that I would give se-rious consideration to the position.

In a few days a letter was received fromDr. Howard A. Graney, inviting me tocome to Des Moines at my earliest con-venience to visit the college and meet withthe Board of Trustees. A 48-hour pass wasgranted and the flight to Des Moines wasmade.

The ravages of war had left its imprintupon the college. The student body wasless than 50, the laboratories were poorlysupplied, the library was old and anti-quated, but the spirit of those I met washigh. The challenge was great and it wasdecided that the challenge would be accept-ed for a period of one year.

Californians BackCancer Quack Fight

CHICAGO (AOA)-The California Os-teopathic Association has joined the Cali-fornia Medical Association and othergroups to sponsor a bill in the Californialegislature aimed at cancer quacks.

Phony cures for cancer peddled byquacks who demand large sums for theiruseless or harmful salves and medicationsare responsible for at least one death andprobably others, according to the AmericanCancer Society.

Under present California law, no actionis possible against the phony cancer ex-perts. The law is vague and no severepenalty may be imposed. The bill now inthe legislature would establish a compositemedical board to investigate possiblefrauds and issue cease and desist orders.An accompanying bill would make violatorsliable to criminal action or revocation oflicense.

The Pennsylvania Osteopathic Associa-tion recently issued a statement of warn-ing about fraudulent cures and quacks.

Cincinnati PlansOsteopathic Hospital

Cincinnati will get its first osteopathichospital in 1958 if things go according toplans of the city's 22 osteopathic physicians.

Major plans at the present call for theraising of $400,000, one fourth of the con-struction cost. The 22 osteopathic physi-cians have pledged $75,000 but the restmust come from the hospital fund cam-paign now underway.

Starting with 50 beds, the first all newgeneral hospital in Cincinnati in 25 yearswill eventually have 150 to 175 beds.

Behind its streamlined modern front, thehospital will house operating and X-rayrooms, laboratories, obstetrical and pedia-tric departments and facilities for researchin medicine, osteopathy and surgery in ad-dition to a nurses' training school.

THE LOG BOOK

Honorable Mention Awarded StudentsTwo students at DMSCOS were awarded honorable mention in the 1956

Schering Award Contest. Louis Radnothy, senior student from BeaverFalls, Pennsylvania, made a survey of the new applications of antihista-mines in medicine and surgery. Gerald Brodie. junior student from LosAngeles, California, supplied a suggested rationale for an approach to theuse of adrenocortical steroids in the collagen diseases, with special refer-ence to rheumatoid arthritis. Below is a sketch of the information pre-sented by each.

Adrenocortical Steriods inThe Collagen Diseases

by Gerald S. Brodie

According to a comprehensive analysisof current and recent literature, the long-term use of cortisone in these conditionshas been disappointing. A new concept,therefore, seems indicated. Such a con-cept, based on Selye's analysis of stress, ispresented. In addition, a resume of cur-rently available therapy, adequately ra-

tionalized is giv-en.

Stress evokessecretion of anti-i nf lammatorysubstances suchas cortisone. Ifthe patient's se-cretion of suchsubstances is in-adequate, corti-sone then can beadministered in aquantity suffici-ent to compen-sate for the de-

ficiency. Benefit can be expected to oeonly temporary, however, since such medi-cation will initiate compensatory reactionstending to re-establish the dynamic equilib-rium at its pre-medication level. Cortisoneexogeneously administered for example,may decrease still further the activity ofthe patient's adrenal cortex, and ultimatelycause it to atrophy.

Compensatory mechanisms such as these,rather than deterring therapy, may be usedto advantage. Desoxycorticosterone, forexample, is pro-inflammatory; administra-tion of it, together with epinephrine (in-tended to evoke ACTH stimulation of thepatient's adrenals) may provide a "meta-bolic exercise" by which neuro-endocrinebalance can be restored. Evidence to sup-port this theory is presented.

The following items of therapy are ra-tional and available:

1. Use of ascorbic acid (although evi-dence in therapeutic results are in-conclusive, vitamin C is used as ra-tionale because of its implication in;a. Maintenance of mesenchymal in-

tegrityb. Oxidation reduction phenomenac. Intermediary metabolism of food-

stuffd. Protection against adrenal corti-

coid hormone inactiviation there-fore prolonging their action.

2. High protein dietAnterior hypohyseal output seems todepend upon intake of protein.

Antihistamines inMedicine and Surgery

by Louis Radnothy

New applications for the antihistiminicagents are constantly being uncovered.The antihistimines per se are not a recentaddition to the physicians armamentarium.They have been providing symptomatic re-lief from various manifestations for thepast decade.

The prophylactic uses include modifica-tion and preven-tion of sensitivityreactions f r o mparenteral anti-b i o t i c therapy,prevention ofblood transfusionreactions, and in-travenous dye re-actions.

T h e obstetri-cian has foundthe drug mostuseful in t h etreatment of nau-

sea and vomiting of prengancy. It is alsoof value for prevention and treatment ofmotion sickness.

The topical use of antihistamines arementioned only to be condemned, due tothe high incidence of sensitivity, resultingin dermatoses.

The side actions of the antihistamineshave been capitalized on in using the drugfor its sedative effect. These have beenutilized in pre-operative medication, andas a substitute for the barbiturates withsuccess.

3. Control of emotional stressThis can be done by psycho-therapyat the general practitioner level. Fur-ther experimental work seems indi-cated in the use of ataraxic drugs asan adjunct.

The final items in the review is plati-tudinious but the platitude is no less truefor being frequently remarked. The mostreliable rule in management of endocrinedisorders as in other fields of biology, andits application is the rule of individualvariance from the mean. The mean mayroughly describe the group but we treatthe individual.

Dean's LetterWhen one becomes possessed of a little

surplus cash one of his first thoughts isthe question of how to invest it in such away as to bring a profit. Secondly he con-siders the safety of his fund after the in-vestment has been considered.

If his investment pays him 16 2/3% in-terest he compliments himself on his wis-dom. If, however, in due time it begins toturn a little sour, quits paying dividends,and finally depreciates by 16 2/3% of itsformer value he must make a choice.

Shall he discard the entire investmentand write it off as a total loss? Or shallhe add sufficient funds to bring his busi-ness up to full value again? Certainly,resignation to total loss would be unworthyof consideration.

The obvious thing to do, then, will be toprotect his investment against furtherloss. By so doing he is demonstratingfaith'in his judgment and in the future ofhis business.

Gruenther AsksMedical Envoys

CHICAGO (AOA)-The United Statesneeds some sort of "medical foreign ser-vice" or program for medicine in diploma-cy, General Alfred M. Gruenther, presidentof the American National Red Cross saidrecently.

By sharing their knowledge and skills ina concerted program, doctors can play atremendous role in building internationalunderstanding in nations lacking medicalresources, he emphasized. "Human miseryis the same everywhere in the world," hesaid.

The soviet shift to emphasis on neutral-ism among under-developed nations makesit now more imperative than before thatwe help others to help themselves, GeneralGruenther warned.

Ralph F. Lindberg, D. 0.Commencement SpeakerDr. R. F. Lindberg, Medical Director of

Detroit Osteopathic Hospital, Detroit,Michigan, will deliver the fifty-eighth an-nual commencement address at St. John'sLutheran Church, Sixth Avenue and Keo-sauqua Way, Friday, May 31, at 8 p.m.

Dr. R. F. Lindberg

Dr. Lindberg is a graduate of the Chica-go College of Osteopathy and Surgery,class of 1924. He is past president of theAmerican College of Osteopathic Internists,and the American Osteopathic Hospital As-sociation.

Tumor Clinic QuestionaireA questionaire has been prepared and

sent to the graduates of the classes of1922, 1927 and 1932 for the purpose of de-termining the incidence and various otherassociative information concerning cancerin this select group. A total of possibly145 such questionaires has been sent to thisgroup and the evaluations will eventuallybe recorded and published in THE LOGBOOK when return of the questionaires hasbeen completed.

THE LOG BOOK__ .- .- .- .

The President ChatsHostilities had ceased and millions of

men and women were flooding the separa-tion centers to receive their last orderswhich would send them on their way to anew life. The writer, too, was as anxiousas all others to assume his role in a newsociety by forgetting our Yesterdays andplanning for the Tomorrows. Finally, thatday did arrive, December 12, 1945. Hastewas made for the new challenge, DesMoines, and the expansion of the DesMoines Still College of Osteopathy andSurgery.

Leaving the warm temperatures of theSouth, and a few days later experiencingthe temperature of 14° below, was an ad-justment not anticipated. The warmth ofthe dinner reception given by the profes-sion, the surprise visit of Dr. RobertStarks, then President of the AmericanOsteopathic Association, and a few dayslater the pleasure of a visit from Dr. L. W.Mills, Director of Educaion, American Os-teopathic Association, and himself anArmy Veteran just separated from theservice, added further joys for being in anew position.

Those early days were glorious days;meeting new problems, making new ac-quaintances and trying to find a place tolive were a few of the challenges, not tomention the building of a student body, em-ploying teachers, enlarging laboratories,raising money and getting a research pro-gram underway.

What we had planned to be a one-yearstay in Des Moines was now extending tomany years. Remodeling continued, newclinic facilities were acquired, the hospitalhad been opened, the assets grew (but notenough) and students came from most ofour states and several of the foreign coun-tries.

A part of the early dream had been rea-lized.

Student Gift to FundMr. Toni Martinho, a freshman, has

given $100.00 to the D.M.S.C.O.S. GeneralFund. Mr. Martinho is to be commendedon his fine spirit and devotion to the pro-fession. The $100.00 was a donation to helpthe college in its current campaign.

Mead JohnsonAwards Grants

CHICAGO (AOA) - Two additionalgrants for post-graduate study by osteo-pathic physicians have been announced byMead-Johnson and Company.

The awards of $1,000 each went to Dr.Delbert Maddox of the Kirksville College ofOsteopathy and Surgery and Dr. RichardF. Spavins of the Kansas City College ofOsteopathy and Surgery. Dr. Maddox wasthe recipient of an earlier Mead Johnsonfellowship.

These two stipends and a third to Dr.Jane Hamilton of the College of Osteo-pathic Physicians and Surgeons constitutea second series of awards to osteopathicphysicians by the company.

Dr. Phil Russell, ACO '16, Secretary ofthe Texas Osteopathic Ass'n., visitedDMSCOS March 1. He is shown here withone of the many groups of students thatenjoyed talking, asking, and learning fromone so well versed in the osteopathic pro-fession. Earlier in the day, Dr. Russellspoke before the student body on the ethicsof our profession. He told us that wemust understand the basis of the osteo-pathic concept to realize the reason for ourexistence. Too often do we forget thatthe early advancement and fast progressmade in this profession was by those whoapplied the principles of osteopathy. Dr.Russell said that only by fulfilling our ob-ligations and rendering a service will wepropogate this profession.

D. 0. OperationRestores Sight

CHICAGO (AOA)-Spectacular cornealtransplants by two California osteopathicsurgeons have restored the sight of twowomen otherwise doomed to blindness.

Drs. George Blasdel and George Z. Du-Pont, Los Angeles, transplanted healthycorneas from persons who had just died toreplace the faulty part of the women'seye. This kind of operation is usable onlywhen blindness is caused by opaque corneaconditions.

The corneal transplant has been devel-oped mostly since World War II with theadvent of antibiotics and cortizones andthe creation of almost miscroscopic hand-made needles used to suture the delicatemembrane.

And the operations are dependent uponthe avilability of sound corneas which canbe removed immediately after death andplaced them in the eye of the living recipi-ent. The maximum time lapse has been72 hours but the optimum period is muchshorter. Consequently, the cornea must bewilled for transplanting or permissionmust be granted by relatives so that thetransplant can occur just after death.

The operation was performed at theGlendale Community Hospital.

Science Topics SetFor AOA Convention

CHICAGO (AOA)-Developments of theInternational Geophysical Year will be thetopics of speakers from outside the healingarts professions who will address the 61stannual American Osteopathic Associationconvention July 15-19 at Dallas.

Dr. Phil Russell Speaks at Convocation

THE LOG BOOK

P. S. G.Whew! .. . but we've had a busy spell.

Phi Sigma Gamma's annual pledge party,the Shipwreck Shindig, was a tremendoussuccess. "Ahem .. . Well done men! Youdid a fine job below." We all had a (hic)fine time and a wonderful night of relaxa-tion. The pledges did a swell job.

Among the notables present with all usnoticers were Mr. Fuller, the public rela-tions director for the state osteopathic as-sociation; Walt Reno, of radio and tele-vision here in Des Moines; "we, of theE.E.N.T. Department", Dr. Juni; Miss(Mrs.) Shipwreck, Nan Millar( Don ver-bot us to use Nan's name without the"Mrs."; after all, she is married, and thatwas his sheet); and that character whohas "something fishy about her" (not herhusband), Frankie Koss. That sure was aclever mermaid outfit.

Again to you, Walt Reno, for your ef-forts in supporting the prenatal classes, asincere "Danke-schon"! Not just from us,but from the college and the whole state.

About all great men, good ideas, or wor-thy causes there must be some controversy.But among us here at Delta chapter, thereis no controversy about the deep feeling ofloss with the resignation of Dr. Hewittfrom D.M.S.C.O.S.' staff. We hope we ade-quately and sincerely expressed this feelingat the farewell dinner for him, and we hope(on the lighter side) that he hasn't signedthis last kymograph for osteopathy orP.S.G. (Note: The farewll cake had akymograph motif and Dr. Hewitt was askedto sign it. As you might expect, the dangthing had the tracings on upside down!)

This year P.S.G. wishes to present thesmiling faces of the men responsible forthe Shipwreck Party. These are the 21new actives of the fraternity:

Regarding our Worknites . .. On March15th we presented a film from the Upjohnseries on "Borderline Cancer". It present-ed such medical giants as Crile, Ackerman,Oschner, Bockus. It was an excellent filmand we had Dr. Minnick to serve as mod-erator, and to execute a post-cinemato-graphic elucidation of points not too trans-

A word of congratulations to Stan Ozogfor his research with Dr. Hsie on Antibi-otic resistant strains of bacteria. Weweren't able to include it in the last note ofcongratulations.

Well, it looks like the bachelor list isdwindling again. Gladys' smile won Pres.Vernier; Marilyn has finally tired FrankDono after 5 laps; and Bob Cornwell . . .well, Lois does have an attractive blackbathing suit.

Dean's LetterAs the school year approaches its close,

hundreds of premedical and preosteopathicstudents are completing their preliminaryeducation prior to admission to professionalschools in the Fall.

Last efforts are being made to meet re-quirements in Chemistry, Physics, andBiology and to meet the total number ofhours required for admission.

In DMSCOS, a student must have com-pleted General Chemistry, Organic Chem-istry, Physics, and at least a year--in Bi-ology (preferably Zoology) in satisfactoryfashion. Furthermore, he must have com-pleted at least 90 semester hours satisfac-torily.

Our Admissions Committee is actively en-gaged in admissions matters the year'round. It meets regularly on Fridays tointerview the applicants and to take upother matters. All students who are inter-ested in Osteopathy are invited and en-couraged to write the Committee for infor-mation. Furthermore, they will find thatany Osteopathic Physician who practicesin the vicinity will be pleased to discuss thevalue of Osteopathy as a career at anytime.

The Freshman class which registers onSeptember 6, 1957, is now more than halfcompleted. We urge interested students topursue matters concerning admission with-out delay while there is still time.

The President ChatsTime Marches On, and with each succeed-

ing year more changes were made. Thelibrary grew until it now occupies the en-tire third floor of the college building andthe demands required two full-time librari-ans. The faculty grew through the yearsuntil the full-time faculty numbered morethan forty, fourteen of whom held the de-gree of Ph.D., or its equivalent. The bud-get grew over the years from less thanforty-thousand dollars to nearly a milliondollars a year and on the college's payrollthere are approximately two hundred em-ployees. Annually, significent researcheshave come from the laboratories of the col-lege, one faculty member had a book pub-lished within the last few years, and atpresent two more volumes, written by fac-ulty members, are ready to go to press.

Progress has been made new frontiershave been invaded and friends and foeshave been made.

Now, after eleven and a half years ofconscientious labor to the Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy and Surgery and tothe Osteopathic profession, whether thislabor has been right or not, whether itpleased the profession or not, it was donesincerely with only one thought in mind-and that to make this college a truly greateducational institution.

With the administering of the oath, theconferring of the degree on the class of1957, my official duties as President of theDes Moines Still College of Osteopathy andSurgery will end.

The memories of the past are pleasantand my sincerest prayer is for the con-tinued growth and progress of this college.

Natural ChildbirthUnnatural for Asia

CHICAGO (AOA)-In a recent trip tothe Far East, where childbirth has tradi-tionally come "natural" to women, Dr.Nicholson J. Eastman, professor of obste-trics and gynecology at Johns Hopkins Hos-pital in Baltimore, said he was surprisedto find that certain hospitals have startedcourses in natural childbirth.

He learned that the techniques werebrought back to Asia by doctors and nurseswho had visited America and seen it prac-ticed here. They concluded that since Am-erican medicine can do no wrong, they hadbetter start the same thing in the FarEast.

"So here we are, taking the artifices ofnatural childbirth to these primitive moth-ers of Asia, the finest exemplars of easyphysiological childbirth in the whole world,"said Dr. Eastman.

"They make no 'more fuss about havinga baby than you or I would about havingbreakfast."

But now, he continued, they are beingtaught that having a baby is something tomake a really big fuss about, that diet listsshould be memorized, new ways of breath-ing mastered and calisthenics practicedeach night after a day's work in the paddyfields.

"They draw the conclusion that theremust be something to fear about childbirth-something they never before had beentold about. The process which always hascome natural to these women of Asia isbeing made alarmingly unnatural throughnatural childbirth."

"Poems of Devotion andMeditation"

A Book by L. P. Fagen, DMS '35Dr. Lester P. Fagen has ministered both

to men's souls and to their bodies. A formerMethodist circuit rider and pastor of mis-sion churches, he now is an osteopathicphysician in Phoenix, Arizona.

Born of pioneer parents in 1885 in PolkCounty, Iowa, he grew up in Des Moines,where in 1908 he received his B.S. degreefrom Drake University. After special train-ing he was director of religious work forthe Y.M.C.A. in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,until 1910, then homesteaded in Wyoming,where he became a circuit rider. There fol-lowed mission pastorates in Des Moines andin Bingham Canyon, Utah (where he alsowas active in Boy Scout work), and assign-ments elsewhere. From 1931 to 1949 he waspart-time Methodist supply pastor in Ivy,Iowa.

Dr. Fagen attended the Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy and Surgery from1931 to 1935, practiced in Des Moines forsixteen years and since then has practicedin Phoenix. He is now a teacher of theUnited Bible Class in the First MethodistChurch there, and his hobbies include oilpainting, photography, flowers and birds.

Married in 1909 to a Drake Universityclassmate, Dr. Fagen is the father of threegrown children, the oldest of whom also isa doctor.

These half a hundred poems all have anundertone of sincere devotion and trust andfaith in the Creator. The collection is di-vided into four sections: "Psalms and Medi-tations," "Nature Observations and Inspir-ations," "Miscellaneous" and "In LighterVein."

"I feel that I have caught some strainsof the, melodies of God's love and bless-ing," says Dr. Lester P. Fagen, "and Ihave tried to put them into words that willstrike a responsive chord in the hearts ofothers who love God and His lovely world."

Some poems, such as "A Psalm of theWonders of God" and "God's Promises,"have fire and an exultant quality. Others,including "A New Year" and "The SaviourWalked the Streets," have unusual touchesof imagery and a natural grave music.Among those in a lighter vein are "Zac-chaeus," "The Mockingbird" and "The Sa-guaro," which employ a more popular dic-tion and have a winning appeal because oftheir informal tone and easy style.

These verses will be a source of bothpleasure and inspiration to all who readthem.

Medical LibrarySet For Capital

CHICAGO (AOA) - The new NationalLibrary of Medicine will be located in theWashington area, according to the "Wash-ington Report on the Medical Sciences."

Library regents, meeting in May, agreedunanimously to reject a bid for relocationof the facility in Chicago. Plans now callfor construction of a building on thegrounds of the National Institutes ofHealth in suburban Bethesda, Maryland.

Further efforts may be made for theChicago site by Illinois congressmen, butthey are expected to result only in delay-ing construction. In view of current con-gressional emphasis on economy, the admin-istration has been slow requesting buildingfunds.

Principal reason given for the Washing-ton location is that steadiest users are ex-pected to be federal agencies. A move toChicago would have required establishmentof extensive duplicate facilities in the cap-ital.

California D.O. GetsWhale Heart at Last

CHICAGO (AOA)-He didn't catch ithimself, but Dr. Frank Nolan finally got a500-pound whale's heart to study.- -Some--months ago, Dr. Nolan of --GCOP-enlisted the aid of the Coast Guard in anunsuccessful attempt to make an electro-cardiograph of a whale. He managed toharpoon a massive dose of tranquilizer intowhat must have been the happiest creaturein the Pacific. But the huge mammal thenswam blithely into a convenient fog, leav-ing Dr. Nolan somewhat at sea.

More recently a commercial whaler do-nated the eyes, heart, liver and kidneysfrom a 72,000 pound giant to Dr. Nolanand other researchers. The doctor and aceam of graduate students dissected thehuge organs and trucked them to the lab-oratory.

"This has never been done before," heexplained. "If the whale heart is similar tothe human heart as we believe, its sizemay open new doors in heart research.Being 500 times larger than a human heart,we may discover nerve centers too smallin the human heart to be detected."

Questionaire ResultsA questionnaire was prepared and sent

from the Tumor Clinic on 3 May 1957 tomembers of the classes of 1922, 1927 and1932 for the purpose of determining the in-cidence and selected associated informationconcerning cancer in this group. 101 suchquestionnaires were sent out with 56 re-turned. 54 of that total number of grad-uates are deceased and obtainable informa-tion indicates 2 resulting from cerebralhemorrhage, 2 from cancer, 1 from polio,and one of "heart ailment". No addresswas available on 21 of the total group andtherefore no questionnaire could be sentto that number.

Since the number of returned question-naires is small, actual numbers rather thanpercentages are used in the accompanyingchart and appears to be less confusing.

Only one returned questionnaire indicatedthe practice of having an annual physicalexamination. 23% have never had a com-plete physical examination. Over 50% ofthe group are active cigarette smokers,have had chest x-rays, electrocardiograms,complete blood counts and urine analyses.

An ambiguous and thought-provokingquestion at the end of the quuestionnaire:"In your opinion, do you think you do nothave cancer now?" produced various an-swers and several comments. The generaltenure of these comments is: "If I havecancer now, I am not aware of it" or, "I

line up thus: Michigan 79; New York 29;

Ohio 28; Pennsylvania 26; Iowa 25; Cali-

South Dakota and Texas 4 each; Arizona

and Washington 3 each; Delaware, Illinois,

(West Africa) each have one.

It is interesting to note that overall ap-proximately 75% of the student body hasa Baccalaureate degree representing morethan three years of pre-osteopathic training.

am planning on having a complete physicalexamination soon".

No major conclusions are available tothe personal health of general practitionersas compared with specialty practice. It issignificant to conclude that the class of 1932with an average age of 51+ years considersitself perhaps immune or perhaps too youngto adopt the necessary precautions to avoidthe diagnosis of "cancer too late".

Wives Begin Busy YearThe Still College Student Wives' Club

began their first semester schedule the eve-ning of September 19, 1957, by giving a teain honor of the Freshmen wives. Dr. Shu-maker welcomed the new members andspoke to the group on "The Lives of StudentWives." The meeting was held in theThriftway Clubroom at Sixth and Univer-sity.

Prior to the tea, the Freshmen wiveswere entertained by the Club's executivecommittee members at an informal eveningget-together in the home of Mrs. Ben Rod-amar, September 12, 1957.

The first regular business meeting of theClub will be held at Still College on Tues-day, October 1, 1957. According to Presi-dent Gerri Margolis, all business meetingswill be held at the College this year sinceit is more centrally located and has betterseating facilities. In previous years theClub has often used the Phi Sigma Gammahouse as a meeting place.

The October 17, 1957, meeting will beof particular interest to the wives: Mrs.Claire E. Pike of Long Beach, California,the National Student Wives' Counselor, willmeet with the Still College Club Chapterat 8 p.m. in the home of Mrs. Carl Water-bury.

L. O. G.L.O.G.'s Freshman Picnic of 1957 was

certainly one of the finest in recent years.With the cooperation of the weatherman,upwards of 80 Still students, their wives,and children attended. With the exceptionof a few stiff muscles the following day,we hope everyone had a good time.

Because of the anxieties of many of theFreshmen, worknight chairman MortonKnopper has planned an Osteology work-nite. The session will be conducted by LOGupper classmen. Mimeographer sheets willbe passed out and there will be discussionsas well as study hints for those attending.

The fraternity wishes to welcome Dr. At-kins, who has been affiliated with the LosAngeles L.O.G. Chapter. We hope that hisinternship at Still Hospital will be an in-formative and pleasant experience for him.

I. T. S.Fall is just around the corner and with

it comes Autumn leaves, chilly weather, har-vest moons and parties. And speaking ofparties, ITS had a wonderful event at Dr.Dresser's house (or it is mansion) lastFriday nite. We invited all the incomingFreshmen as guests and everyone had awonderful time. Roy Howe gave us hisvery best in impersonations; Dr. Dresserprovided his usual magic tricks and Broth-ers Goble and Slocum went swimming inthe punch bowl. There was dancing to themusic of Hiram Fi Delity (better known tohis followers as Hi-Fi) and Sally Slocumgave us her version of the Charleston,beads and all. Meanwhile back at the punchbowl-but seriously we really enjoyed our-selves and want to thank Dr. and Mrs.Dresser for their generous hospitality inproviding the fraternity with a place tohold our meetings and social events. Thanksalso to Mrs. Dresser and Mrs. Sloan fortheir kitchen support.

Our sincerest apologies also go out tothose unfortunate Frosh who were notpresent for the arrival of the six "femmefetale". Better luck at the next party, men.

Things are looking brighter for ITS thisyear and plans are being made for severalworknites and additional social events atthe fraternity house, so watch the bulletinboards and the Log Book for further an-nouncements of ITS activities.

Dr. Eveleth discussed this profession'scurrent position, emphasizing the fact thatwe are respected by those acquainted withUs.

He acknowledged that we have an ad-vantage-we need not say anything but thetruth to influence others. And we have,over the years, earned the right to haveour movement in medicine brought to thepeople. To this end Dr. Eveleth urged thatwe know and be active in our profession,that we keep our standards high, and rea-lize that the most important public relationsis the doctor in the field.

Profession TopsAlumni Giving

Colleges May GetGovernment Funds

Bill Pending To BuildTeaching Facilities

CHICAGO (AOA)-The six osteopathiccolleges would be eligible for federal fundsfor new teaching facilities under the pro-visions of a bill now pending before Con-gress.

If passed, House Resolution 7841, intro-duced by Representative John E. Fogartyof Rhode Island, would establish a five-yearprogram to provide matching federal fundsfor the construction of teaching and re-search facilities by medical, dental and pub-lic health schools.

"Inclusion of the osteopathic colleges pre-sents a challenge the profession must meet,"according to Dr. True B. Eveleth,AOA ex-ecutive secretary.

"These and other funds are badly neededif our schools are to expand as they must.It would be a serious reflection on the fu-ture of osteopathy if we had to reject afederal grant because of our unwillingnessor inability to raise matching funds."

Dr. Chester D. Swope, chairman of theAOA Department of Public Relations, in-formed the government that the osteopathiccolleges will need five million dollars dur-ing the next five years if they are to ex-pand as they feel necessary. His figure isbased on a survey of the colleges made atthe request of the government.

This means that the osteopathic profes-sion would have to raise two and a half mil-lion dollars to be eligible for a like amountin federal aid.

As introduced, the act would provide upto two-thirds of the costs of building wherethe school could demonstrate that freshmanenrollment would be raised 5 percent ormore by the addition of the new facilities.The same provision would hold for the es-tablishment of a new school if recommendedby national accrediting bodies. For allother applications, the ratio of matchingfunds would apply.

The total of $45,000,000 would be madeavailable annually for medical schools withany school limited to $3,000,000 in a singleyear. Schools are eligible to apply for$25,000 for preparation of initial plans andestimates for new construction.

Another provision of the bill would per-mit the designation of 20 percent of thefederal grant, or 10 percent of the totalcost of building, to be allocated for per-manent maintenance of the building.

Determination of the awards and theiramounts is to be made by the Surgeon Gen-eral with the advice of a Federal Councilon Health Educational Facilities. Thisgroup, established by the bill, will have 12members appointed by the Surgeon Generalwith the approval of the Secretary ofHealth, Education and Welfare. Six mem-bers are to come from the general publicand six from the health sciences.

In addition to the money appropriated formedical schools, dental schools would re-ceive up to $8,000,000 a year and publichealth schools would be eligible for $7,000,-000 each year. Dental and public healthschools would be limited to $1,000,000 to anyschool in a given year.

Softball Report"Take me out to the ball game," was the

cry here at Still College. Due to the gener-osity of the osteopathic physicians of Polkcounty and Still College we were able tofield a team in the American Association ofDes Moines class "C" softball league.

Our record may not have been too im-pressive (won 5, lost 7) but fun was hadby all and we're sure no team in the leaguehad more spirit. At times this spirit wasdampened, not only by the losses but bythe rain that stopped six of the contests.

Wives, girl friends and faculty memberswere well represented in the stands atmany games and at times Dr. DeNise couldbe seen shagging foul balls.

Player-manager Ned Baron was in chargeof collecting funds to support the team andwe would like to take this opportunity tothank all the generous physicians for theircontributions.

Monday and Wednesday evening was thetime the games were held under the lightsand due to previous commitments of manyof the student players quite a variation inplayers were fielded. We may not have thedepth of Casey Stengels' New York Yankeesbut he couldn't have shifted more menaround than was done by manager Baron.Out pitching staff was made up of JohnOlszewski and Charles Parrott while theinfield consisted of Ned Baron, Jim Blem,Hal Bienenfeld, Joe Chirillo, Bob iKoepke,Bob Beech, Lee Neumann, Saul Shapiro andBob )Conrwall. The outfield was patrolledby Don Kay, Bob Griener, Fred Meltz andMartin Siegel.

Now that the season is over the chant ofwait till next year can be heard among theplayers and fans of Still College, but justwait till basketball season-it's just aroundthe corner.

THE LOG BOOK

PSGOur recent elections brought George Koss

to the helm of PSG with Roger Senty beingchosen as his able right hand. Sincere ap-preciation goes to Bob Cornwell and FrankMyers for their excellent leadership overthe past six months. Our pledge class, con-sisting of twenty-eight men and one dog,cooperated wonderfully in sustaining theBattle of the Bulge on Thanksgiving Day.Dr. Hsie and family were the guests ofhonor.

Pledgemaster Jim Blem has set up a se-ries of four demonstrations on Osteopathictechnique and these will be interspersedwith professional work nights as part ofour teaching program. Oliver Popa waselected Pledge Chairman by his fellow can-didates at the last meeting, and Steve Kof-fler became Vice-Chairman.

Rotating externships have brought famil-iar faces back into town. Len Barrow ar-rived just in time to make his television de-but and Roger Senty arrived just in timeto see his girl leave town. That new Sput-nik over Des Moines is probably Gil Bu-cholz, no longer earthbound, but flying highon his new pilot's license. Charter flightsto West Des Moines can be arranged. MikeLackey has likewise abandoned two dimen-sional travel. Jim O'Day and his magictrumpet are now on display at Flint, Michi-gan.

With the Christmas season upon us (canbills be far behind?), the PSG house hastaken on an air of joy and frivolity. IOurfraternity Christmas Party, the SantaClaus party for the kids, the glowing treeand the bedecked windows all announce theseason of goodwill. Special glows reside inNorm Jankowski and Arnold Jacobs whowill become pleural in New York and Michi-gan respectively.

To our many brothers around the globewe heartily extend our very sincere and cor-dial greetings. May the arrival of '58 sig-nify a new surge of ambition and achieve-ment, may it portend a reigning era ofhealth and happiness.

AtlasThe Atlas Club received Bobby Black, Ro-

bert O'Neil, Phil Naples, Harry Davis,Franklin Tepner, Anthony Elisco, JamesWhite, George Wright, and Silvester Zarinsas their new pledges.

Two of our most able frat brothers re-turned from the difficult "trek' of externing-Jim Brown and Hugh Furness.

A mascot has finally arrived at the AtlasHouse. He is a pussy cat and is called Cat-nik. Rumors have it that he eats betterthan the occupants and of course he doesgo to bed at night (hasn't started to takephysiology or biochemistry yet).

Dr. Fitz, our friendly psychiatrist, gavea worknite on taking case histories. Asusual he was dynamic and made us wonderwhat reality really is! Remember ourworknites are for everyone and an invita-tion is always extended to interested stu-dents.

Heard from one of our graduates-Dr.Harry Stiggers. He is at Bay View Hospi-tal in Cleveland Heights, Cleveland, sharinghis dynamic personality with the sickly.Many Sophomores and Juniors will remem-ber him from technic.

Merry Christmas and if you leave thebooks behind-a relaxing New Year.
