AMA Recruits Many Medics On Campuses An "extremely promising" pro gram to recruit tomorrow's doc tors among today's students is being aimed at America's cam puses by the American Medical Association. Behind the drive is a worrisome set of statistics that shows seri ous drops in the number of medi cal students and portends a ma jor shortage of doctors if the trend continues. The figures, quoted in an October Reader's Digest article, show that there were 108 pri vately practicing physicians per one hundred thousand population in 1931, but only ninety-one per one hundred thousand in 1957. This trend indicates a further fall to eighty-five by 1975 - bring ing with it a serious doctor short age. The A.M.A. is fighting the trend by sending doctors out on field trips to talk to students. just as major business corpora tions send their recruiters. The aim is to interest as many stu dents as possible and then stimu late that interest with summer jobs, scholarship offers and "Bull Sessions" that attempt to answer the students' questions about all aspects of medicine as a career. Much of the recruitment effort is aimed toward girls, reports the article. Although today girls constitute just 8.5 percent of medical students, many doctors believe the figure will triple in the next few years, those who do not go directly into medicine often choose allied fields such as dietetics, laboratory technology or therapy.

I NATIONAL AGE WASHINGTOI An Equal Onnai - Nurses - They Lead Two Lives By PAM DERNOGA and BONNIE BAKER Society Writers It all begins with the sound of the alarm clock at four-thirty every Tuesday and Thursday morning. At this time over 50 nursing students are scurrying around, pulling up Supp-hose, ty ing shoelaces on white Buster Browns, jumping into starched yellow and white uniforms, and trying to make the 6:15 bus. Upon arrival at the hospital it is a matter of eating breakfast, get ting to the floor by the seven ,'clock report, reviewing charts, giving bed baths, making beds, :arrying out daily treatments, and administering nine o'clock medications. After the storm of ,he morning has subsided, there is an opportunity to meet and get to know some of the most interesting people in the world. Their patients vary from truck drivers to artists and from fellow students to Ph.D's. No matter what his status, however, each patient has been able to give the nursing students some insight as to what are their roles as nurses. The rest of the week serves as the media for their second life. The nurses fit into the Carolina Community as well as anyone. They have no peculiar markings, except for a few extra circles under their eyes and maybe a fallen arch here and there. Extra time is something they rarely have. If they're not in classes or labs, they are studying for quizzes or starting on their next nursing project. However, nurs ing students are quite active in campus activities. They have their own professional organiza tion, Meditrina Society, and claim membership in the various church groups, "Y," each of the seven sororities, Angel Flight, and the cheerleading squad. At times it seems that one life is enough; two lives, impossible, but with the constant backing of the faculty as well as fellow stu dents, these brave, courageous souls have four very full but most rewarding years.

I want to meet her, talk to her and most of all I want her tc love me in return. I am tall blonde and quiet also, but never before have I been so painfully shy. When she walks near me I just clam up, and if I do say anything, it comes out as a hor rible squeak. I don't dare ask any of my friends for help for fear one of them will fall for her the way I have.
