Medical Teaching Plan Devised at KC Center
An entirely new teaching plan for freshman medical students at the University has been revealed by Dr. Kenneth E. Jochim, assistant dean of the School of Medicine.
The plan integrates the teaching of pre-clinical subjects into a single 9-month course covering development structure and function of the normal human being. Joachim Dechim explain his approach to gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy neurology, biochemistry, physiology and psychiatry.
"Faculty who taught the separate courses will participate in presenting the single comprehensive course," he said. "Each teacher will correlate his material as it pertains to normal functioning of the body, physical functioning, biological behavior and its relationship to body function will be emphasized."
The basic plan of the new curriculum was suggested more than a year ago by Dean Jochim. Following approval by Dean W. Clarke Wescoe and the school's curriculum committee at the KU Medical center, the staffs of the departments of anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, and psychiatry devoted a year to working out the details.
The new integrated course ends the staggering of classes that spread teaching of the freshman year over a regular year and two summer sessions with one-forth of the class laying out each period. Now all freshman medics will begin in the fall and finish the year in June.
"A counselor system is a unique feature of the new program." Dean Jooflium said. "Each freshman will be assigned to a member of the Law- and medical faculty, who will counsel six or seven students during the year.
This continuing, close relationship is expected to furnish better advise on academic and personal problems than any system we've tried."
The 100 freshman medies began a special week-long orientation program last week to acquaint them with the organization and physical plant of the medical school and the nature of the four-year program.
Fish to Frolic In KU Ponds
If you're an ichthyology student you'll have plenty of facilities available for study in a few months.
Construction is about half-completed on eight experimental ponds, and the other six are located southwest of the campus near the radio tower by the new highway.
A pond about two acres in area to serve as a water supply and a lab building also are being built by the University.
Increased fish production for farm ponds is the objective, according to assistant zoology professor Frank Cross.
"We're going to try different kinds of pond fishes to see which combinations are the best," he said.
Ichthyology classes and zooology graduate students will be utilizing the ponds for classroom and research study.
Results of experiments will be distributed to Kansas Game and Fish department officials.
"Explanation of the new first year program and the relationship of the basic sciences to clinical medicine were emphasized," Dean Jochim added.
A banquet Wednesday for medical students and faculty will conclude the orientation Speakers will be Dr. Lucian Pyle, president of the Kansas Medical society, and Clarence Munns of Topeka, president of a medical supply company.
The 4,000-year-old palace of King Minos at Cnossus, Crete, was as large as London's Buckingham Palace.
One of the most painful aspects of beginning a college career is the long and numerous lines one must brave in any number of papers, forms, or books.
Book Store Awaits Fall Rush
Ray Verrey, manager of the Student Union Book store, has spent a great deal of the summer planning methods to avoid at least one line for the students—the book-buying line.
"The book store will get its real test this rush period and we hope to eliminate most of the standing in line." Mr. Verrey said. He said his staff has worked hard most of the summer to be ready for "the big rush."
The procedure to be followed in buying books is outlined by Mr. Verrey as follows:
After the student has enrolled in his classes he should come to the south entrance of the store with his course requirement sheet. There he may check what books or papers he has, both as a safeguard and convenient for his students. He will be given a tag for which has been checked, a map of the store floor plan, and a sales card on which his purchases will be written.
The books will be handled on a self-service basis, unless a student has trouble finding what he wants. Then he may ask help from the clerks. They all will wear identification tags.
Once inside the door there will be arrows painted on the floor to show the route to be followed. All of the arrows are labeled by school and course number,
Rita View 'Amazing'
Paris- (U.P)-Rita Hayworth's decision to reject a large divorce settlement to safeguard her daughter's religious future was "simply amazing," Prince Aly Khan's lawyer said Monday.
Miss Hayworth refused a reported $1,000,000 settlement offered by Aly as a trust fund for their daughter Yasmin, provided she was raised as an Ismaili Moslem.
The state of Virginia extends farther west than does neighboring West Virginia.
When the student has found his books he will take them, with the sales card, to the book check stand.
His purchases then will be recorded and totaled. He then may find what supplies he needs from the art and engineering section of the store.
After he has gone through this section of the store there will be a final check-out station where the entire bill is totalled. Then the student will leave by the north entrance of the store.
Just outside the store there will be six cashiers. In the hall there also will be a table for charge sales, which will include students on the G.I. bill and Navy ROTC students.
After paying his bill the student then will return to the check stand to claim his property. Free blotters and book covers also will be given out at the check stand.
