Most gra duate schools of any conse quence are members.” Membership in the Council is based on both qualitative and quantitative considerations, Dr. Gilbreth added. Winthrop’s Graduate School was established in 1968. The graduate program at Winthrop dates from 1901 and the first graduate degree was awarded in 1912. Winthrop offers five graduate degrees—Master of Arts, Mas ter of Arts in Teaching, Mas-, ter of Education, Master of Mu sic and Master of Science.

Heart diseases are top killers Heart attack, stroke, and other heart and blood vessel diseases continue to kill more people in South Carolina than all other causes combined, ac cording to the South Carolina Heart Association. Quoting figures supplied by the State Board of Health for 1969, the latest year for which statistics are available, the As sociation reported that out of a total of 22,820 deaths, 11,991, or about 53 per cent were caus ed by cardiovascular disease. Next highest toll is that of can cer: 3,182 deaths, followed by accidents: 1,844 deaths. This order is the same for every county in the state. Nationally, cardiovascular di sease accounts for over 1 mil lion deaths annually, cancer causes around 300,000, and acci dents 111,000. It has been es timated by the American Heart Association that over 27 mil lion living Americans are af flicted with heart and blood vessel disease. The estimate for South Carolina is 267,000 living heart patients. The cost of cardiovascular disease comes to over $10 bil lion each year, of which me dical care represents 3.7 bil lion dollars and lost wages add up to 6.1 billion dollars. Despite these grim facts, there has been a 20 per cent decline in cardiovascular deaths rates since 1950 — a decline which began after the Heart Association was organized and launched its programs of re search, education, and commu nity service. These programs are supported entirely by con tributions to the Heart Fund campaign, which is now in pro gress throughout the nation. SAN ANTONIO - Airman Hayward C.
