Faculty from the occupational therapy department write letters to the administrations in the hospitals for students' acceptance.
"Sometimes one hospital may have to reject a KU student if it already has accepted all the trainees that it can manage and observe well. Some of the other 26 Schools of Occupational Therapy in the nation may have sent students to the same hospitals as KU.
Trainees Generally Accepted Professor, Miller said.
"Twenty occupational therapy students are studying at the medical center and will begin in January to train in hospital rehabilitation centers to finish up their affiliations."
"But the 27 hospitals which KU has approved have agreed to take students from here if they have
room. If a KU student is rejected at one hospital, the faculty writes the student's second-choice and so on until he is accepted."
1.5 Average Required
Students may go on affiliations anytime following their sophomore year if they have a 1.5 grade point average. They need not take all 12 month's of training at once
Professor Miller said:
Following the affiliations, students must pass the National Registry Examination for Occupational Therapy before they are admitted into the profession.
BALBOA, Canal Zone —(UPI)— Anti-American Panamanian Demonstrators tore down the flag at the U.S. Embassy in Panama City yesterday and battled American Canal Zone police at both ends of the Panama Canal.
Demonstrators in Panama Tear Down American Flag
Other demonstrators earlier had injured three U.S. Canal Zone policemen in a wild rock-throwing battle at this pacific end of the canal.
The outbreaks were part of a planned "peaceful invasion" of the zone, called by former Foreign Minister Aquilino Boyd in connection with Panama's observances of Independence Day. He urged Panamanians to cross into the Canal
Zone and plant the Panamanian flag there to "reaffirm Panama's sovereignty" over the zone.
U. S. Ambassador Julian F. Harrington was readying the "strongest" protest to the Panama foreign office against desecration of the U.S. embassy flag "which was flying in honor of Panama's independence day."
