Morehouse LibraryMemorial Fund

Mrs. Mary Belle Kenderdine, college li-brarian, states that 58 books costing $555.00have been purchased for the College libraryfrom the Dr. P. Ralph Morehouse LibraryMemorial Fund. This fund, which was ini-tiated by members of the Michigan Osteo-pathic Association, was established in mem-ory of Dr. Morehouse who was killed inan automobile accident in Albion, Michigan,Christmas Eve, 1958.

A graduate of the class of '35, Dr.Morehouse served 'the Michigan Associa-tion as its secretary-treasurer for 12 yearsand as technical editor of the MichiganOsteopathic Bulletin for 10 years. He wasalso a delegate of the National Alumni Asso-ciation of the College.

The books purchased from this fund have

been carefully selected by members of thefaculty. A record is on file in the library

showing the name of the book, the author,the company from which the book waspurchased, and the purchase price. A com-plete record of the above is sent each yearto the Michigan Association.

At this time of the year, it is only fittingthat we again seek contributions in orderthat we might insure the perpetuation of

this fund. Contributions can be sent to Dr.W. Clemens Andreen, of Andreen Clinic,1475 Ford Avenue, Wyandotte, Michigan, orMr. Wendell R. Fuller, alumni secretary-treasurer, College of Osteopathic Medicineand Surgery, 722 6th Ave., Des Moines 9,

THE LOG BOOK

OAKRIDGE AREA-(Continued from Page 1)

The annual payroll of the college and itshospital and clinic is $611,000.00 he said.He estimated expenditures here, includingthose by the college's students and theirfamilies, exceed 1/2 million dollars a year.

Plans for the expansion call for a hos-pital and clinic building, a dormitory, mar-ried students' housing, a playground andparking areas.

In describing the events leading to theabove newspaper story, Mr. Karl Greenlee,secretary of the College board of trusteeshad this to say,

"On Friday, December 4, 1959, Mr. Han-nan and I appeared before the Urban Re-newal Committee and presented the pro-posed plans for expansion of the Collegefacilities.

"The reception by that committee wasvery favorable and encouraging to us. Yourrepresentatives of the board off trusteesdid not commit the College or alumni toanything except an opportunity. We wereinformed that if we expected to be con-sidered as a part of this portion of the Ur-ban Renewal Program, it was necessarythat we make application at this time. Inaddition the necessity that we soon considerthe possibility of expanding the facilities ofthe College to provide room for additionalstudents as another factor in our presentingfuture plans at this time.

"While the Board has not made a com-mitment to any program, we do feel thatsome plan very similar to this would beexactly what the profession should work toachieve.

"We are well aware that an undertakingof such magnitude cannot be accomplishedwithout the continued hard work and sup-port of the loyal alumni; however, that willnot be nearly enough, because it will benecessary to enlist the help of the generalpublic if we expect to carry out anythingsuch as this plan."

Neurosurgeon HereJanuary 4

Dr. Raymond Ruberg of Philadelphia,Pennsylvania, chairman of the departmentof neuro-surgery of the hospitals of thePhiladelphia College of Osteopathy andMetropolitan Hospital, will visit the Collegefor a few days beginning January 4, 1960.

THREE CLUB PLANS APPROVEDGRADUATION WEEK ACTIVITIES PLANNED

One of the most profitable meetings ofthe executive committee of the National

Alumni Association was held at the Collegeon November 17. The activation of threenew clubs-the 250 Club-the 350 Club--and the 500 Club-was proposed to the Col-lege board of trustees. This proposal wasenthusiastically accepted by the board. Ma-terial regarding the three new clubs will besent to each one of our graduates begin-ning in January, 1960.

Graduation Week

In addition to the new club plans whichare explained on the next page, steps weretaken to make arrangements for gradua-tion week at the College. Preliminary ar-rangements call for a spring refreshercourse under the direction of Dr. William B.

Strong, a banquet honoring the alumni aswell as the members of the graduating classof 1960, and other events to be announcedin the near future. Graduating classes to behonored in addition to the class of 1935 willbe announced in January. Local arrange-ments for alumni activities will be underthe direction of Dr. Bryce E. Wilson of DesMoines, Iowa, president of the Iowa Alum-ni Association.

Positive Action

Commenting on the events of the day,President McLaughlin stated: "The forma-

tion of these clubs by the executive commit-tee of the National Alumni Association isto me a most positive action on the part ofthe alumni association. The formal acti-vation of these clubs, which are designedto strengthen the financial situation of theCollege through personal contributionsfrom our alumni, will, of course, be a stepin the right direction toward building agreater College. The initiation of plansdesigned to make graduation week a weeknot only for members of the graduatingclass of 1960, but one for the alumni andfriends of the institution, will certainly begood news for all of our alumni.

"The members of the board of trusteesjoin with me in thanking these men themembers of the executive committee fortaking time from their practice and fromtheir families, to come to the College at va-rious times throughout the year at theirown expense to meet with us to help usbuild a bigger and better college."

THE LOG BOOK

"We, theClass Students Honor Dr. Enzmanno 1960 dCedi-

cate this bookto Ernst V. Enz-mann, Ph.D., inappreciation ofhis outstandingrepresentationof those whoteach." Withthese swordsDonald G. Beck-man of LakeCity, Iowa, sen-ior student andassociate editorof the yearbook,presented thefirst copy of the1960 Pacemakerto Dr. Enzmannduring an all-b ~tl l bu l v 1Vu_

cation held in the Moingmona Lodge Room on November 23rd.As if by a pre-arranged signal, the entire student body and faculty rose to their

feet to give Dr. Enzmann the greatest ovation that has ever been accorded a memberof the faculty of this institution.

A secret had been well kept for over a year. Only the members of the yearbook staffknew that the second yearbook to be published by the students of the College in overtwenty years would be dedicated to one of the most beloved instructors of the institution.

Following the convocation, Dr. Enzmann, too surprised to speak after the formalpresentation, stated that he was, of course, greatly surprised, but very proud. "Onecan never forget such an honor bestowed upon him by his students," stated Dr. Enzmann.

John Nelson, (right), Des Moines, Iowa, sophomore student and president of theStudent Council, presided.

Atlas ClubOur thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Henry J. Ket-

man for the beautiful kitchen range. Therange and our new kitchen cafe curtainsadd a touch of home.

On Sunday, November 29, the pledgeswere welcomed to the fraternity house bythe active members. Refreshments wereserved and ideas freely exchanged.

Our annual Christmas party was held atthe fraternity house on December 12 andincluded all the trimmings. This brings tomind the beautifully decorated tree whichwas meticulously trimmed by Ralph Mar-

tin. The exchange of gifts was the high-light of the evening. It usually representsthe sentiment of the giver for the personwho is to receive the gift. The food was thebest in the fraternity's history-but thenso were so many other things.

The curtain of life is drawing to a closeon another year. To some, 1959 brought itsshare of sorrow; but, by and large, the ma-jority of us saw some ray of sunlight shin-ing in our direction. With faith and hope,we look forward to a new year, knowingthat each one must radiate his own bit ofbrightness if there is to be sunlight in life.

The National DefenseEducation Act

Nearly one and one-half years ago, Con-gress passed the N.D.E.A., thus making itpossible for thousands of students to attendschool on money borrowed at a very lowrate of interest. By this Act, students havebeen enabled to borrow money from a col-lege student loan fund which is composedof funds contributed by the governmentand the college in the ratio of 9 to 1.

Prior to this Act, the College had nostudent loan fund. Immediately upon estab-lishment of our eligibility, a determinedeffort was made to create a fund whichcould be combined with government fundsfor student loan purposes under the pro-visions of the Act.

In the short space of one year, by per-sonal contact and restricted publicity, atotal of $3,634 has been raised by con-tribution. More than 71 doctors have par-ticipated. The fund has benefited frommemorial contributions, individual students,faculty members, businessmen, auxiliaryand other individuals totaling one hundredhave created this reserve fund.

The College has received from the gov-ernment the sum of $12,932. To this hasbeen added money from the college reservefund to comprise a total of $16,895, whichhas been loaned to worthy and needy stu-dents.

The reserve fund has been reduced to$2,124. It is held in escrow, awaiting thereceipt of additional government funds inthe near future.

It is estimated that the reserve fundwill be exhausted within two more years,whereupon further contributions will be

ponsored by the Col-lege of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery,Des Moines, and the Polk County Societyof Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons.

Dr. Thompson was a member of the sur-geon general's consultant group on medicaleducation.

He said that group recommended 50 percent federal grants for enlarging and im-proving plants of osteopathic and medicalschools and establishing new ones.

But both the initiative and the first 50per cent must properly come from com-munities and states, he said.

"A further great challenge to the nationlies in the fact that even our present ca-pacity for teaching medical manpower isnot being fully utilized," Dr. Thompsonsaid.

"Young men and women of the properage group are now applying to osteopathicand medical schools at the lowest rate inthe past decade.

"Illness and accident are taking a tollof this nation's human resources which itcannot afford, and unless comprehensivemeasures are taken to increase our supplyof health manpower this toll will growrather than diminish."

Among those at the banquet were Dr.Galen Young, president, and Dr. True B.Eveleth, executive secretary, both of theAmerican Osteopathic Association.

THE LOG BOOK

A New Advance WithA New Book

The increasing acceptance of osteopathicphilosophies in every quarter, especiallysince the close of World War II, has beenboth gratifying and noteworthy, clearlyreflecting well-merited and growing recog-nition by the public at large of the basicconcepts of the profession as both valid andeffective in every aspect of therapy.

In particular, the great American presshas largely come to a rapidly developingappreciation of the true nature and efficacyof osteopathy, obviously a matter of primeimportance to all. Certainly, a good casein point is an announcement just releasedby Crown Publishers, Inc., of New York,which is currently offering a full-sized,hard-cover volume written with an osteo-pathic-medical background, by an osteo-pathic physician as co-author, and directedexpressly to the general reader. As such,the venture unquestionably represents amilestone in the publishing industry-a gen-uine contribution to public welfare as wellas to the rising tide of public understandingof osteopathy.

It bears a provocative apt title: YOURACHING BACK And What To Do About It.YOUR ACHING BACK was written by Da-vid Shuman, D.O., an outstanding Pennsyl-vania practitioner, and George R. Staab, aveteran Philadelphia newspaperman andholder of a 1959 Journalism Award of theAmerican Osteopathic Association for re-porting of osteopathic medicine.

Done in a relaxed yet serious vein, sin-cere yet informal and even occasionallyhumorous where humor is warranted, thisbook presents one of the most searchingand comprehensive discussions of the lowback problem available in popular print.It is based on Dr. Shuman's 25 years ofresearch and practice in the low back field,well supported by an extensive and author-itative bibliography.

An appendix, "For Doctors Only," canconceivably be read with profit by any phy-sician regardless of the inescapable and notentirely undesirable controversial aspects ofsome of the technological views expressed.Besides containing a helpful index, thebook is generously illustrated, including anumber of clear, practical renditions of somehighly interesting, new and effective tech-niques.

YOUR ACHING BACK is plainly a read-able book with an appeal far beyond meretopical interest. It should go a long waytowards providing the public not only witha much better understanding of this vitalaspect of good health, but also a far greatergrasp of the role of the osteopathic physi-cian in American medicine.

1958-9 OsteonWins Award

A First Place Certificate was won bythe 1958-9 Osteon, yearbook of the ChicagoCollege of Osteopathy student body, in acompetition among college annuals held atColumbia University in New York City bythe Scholastic Press Association.

Pacemaker BallThe annual Pacemaker Ball, sponsored by

Sigma Sigma Phi, honorary service frater-nity, was held at the Val Air Ballroom Fri-day, April 8, 1960. The proceeds of thisyear's gala student event will be used inthe establishment of a "Student Scholarship-Loan Fund.".

Pacemaker Queen for 1960 is Vicki Ring,wife of senior student Harvey Ring, and rep-resentative of P.S.G. fraternity. Other can-didates for queen were:

Helga Jurczenko, I.T.S.Sally Katz, L.O.G.Lynette Chinowth, Atlas.Raffle tickets were sold and a score of

door prizes distributed by President Mc-Laughlin who drew the winner's numbers.

According to some of the more experi-enced, this was the finest Pacemaker Ballever to be held since its initiation severalyears ago, and much of the credit goes tojunior student Earl Scheidler, S.S.P's- Pace-maker Ball chairman.

Student CouncilWithin the past two months, the student

council has been in contact with the otherosteopathic colleges and personnel of theA.O.A. regarding the possible formation ofa "Student A.O.A." or some similar organi-zation for the purpose of unifying thestudents of our profession and the correla-tion of our activity toward common goals.We would appreciate comments from thereaders of the LOG BOOK concerning suchan organization.

A suggestion box has been installed andwritten application will be reviewed by thestudent council and faculty members. Thosesuggestions considered worthy will be actedon insofar as is possible. Received thus far,and currently being studied, are suggestionsfor a student lounge, alteration in the stu-dent health program, and the posting ofquiet zone signs in the area of Still Hospital,across the street from the college.

THE LOG BOOK

Dr. Hewitt ReturnsWilliam F. Hewitt, PhD., assumed pro-

fessional duties as Professor of Pharma-cology at COMS on July 1, 1960, after anabsence of 3 years from the college.

Dr. Hewitt received his A.B. degree fromPrinceton University in 1935, his M.Sc.

degree from unicagoUniversity in 1937,and his Ph.D. degree(physiology) f r o mChicago U n i versityin 1942. He servedas associate professorin physiology and act-ing head of the De-partment of Physiolo-gy of the College ofOsteopathic Physici-ans and Surgeons,Los Angeles, Califor-nia, until 1946 whenhe became head of the

Department of Literature Research forSmith, Kline and French Laboratories ofPhiladelphia, Penn. From 1948 until 1952,Dr. Hewitt was assistant professor of phy-siology, College of Medicine, Howard Uni-versity, Washington, D.C. In 1952, Dr.Hewitt was appointed chairman of the De-partments of Physiology and Pharmacolo-gy of the College of Osteopathic Medicineand Surgery, Des Moines, and served inthis capacity until April of 1957.

In the spring of 1957 Dr. Hewitt becameAssociate Director of Technical Informa-tion in the research laboratories of MeadJohnson & Company (Evansville, Indiana),and later was medical and technical writerfor the Nutritional and Pharmaceutical Di-vision of the Company.

He returns to the College from Plough,Inc. (Memphis, Tennessee), where he waspharmacologist in the Research and De-velopment Department, responsible for thedevelopment of new ethical pharmaceuticalspecialties. In both of these drug-industry

positions Dr. Hewitt continued to be en-gaged in research and teaching, as he hadbeen at COMS. The stimulating differencewas that the audiences were patients, phy-sicians, research scientists and industrialexecutives instead of medical students.

The background of experience in thepharmaceutical industry should be helpfulin Dr. Hewitt's major responsibilites here:teaching pharmacology, and promotingclinical and basic-science research (as ex-ecutive Secretary of the Research Commit-tee of the Faculty). While Dr. Nusser isabsent on leave for postgarduate study, Dr.Hewitt will serve as Acting DepartmentHead in physiology.

The Hewitts have four daughters, aremembers of The Religious Society ofFriends (Quakers) and are interested inreading and discussion, having served asdiscussion leaders for the Great BooksFoundation .... .... .....-

Interest in alumni activities reached anall-time high in recent years during theSixty-Fourth Annual American OsteopathicAssociation Convention held in KansasCity, Missouri. Dr. Charles L. Naylor ofRavenna, Ohio, president of the NationalAlumni Association for the past two yearscommented as follows: "When we werereorganizing the Alumni Association threeyears ago six people made up the House ofDelegates,two years ago there were tenpeople, last year there were twelve, andI'm very happy to say that today therewere thirty-five of our graduates who metat a breakfast meeting to discuss the pres-ent and the future of our national organi-zation and our College. It is very signifi-cant to note that during this reorganiza-tion period we have developed an excellentconstitution and by-laws. We asked theCollege Board of Trustees to permit us tonominate three of our representatives toserve on Ithe Board of Trustees. As youknow, this was granted to us and now wehave three representatives on the CollegeBoard of Trustees instead of one as wehad for so many years. At your sugges-tion, your Executive Committee presentedto the College Board of Trustees three clubplans, namely: the 500 Club, 350 Club,and the 250 Club. The Board, of course,was unanimous in its approval of theseplans and they are now a reality. At thistime there are six members in the 500 Club,two members in the 350 Club, and seven-teen members in the 250 Club. We feelthat greater emphasis should be placed -onadding more members to these three Clubplans. As you know, funds receivedthrough this program will be used for agreater faculty program, expanded facili-ties, improved curriculum, and increasedenrollment. It is to be noted that 20% ofthe annual contribution from an individualto one of these Club plans goes into a de-velopment expansion fund which is a re-stricted fund that can be used only for thepurchase of land for the College, newbuilding construction, remodeling and re-pair of old buildings, or the purchase ofequipment and new facilities.

"During this year we have heard muchabout the proposed expansion program, andI know that we will hear more in themonths ahead. Of course, this is greatnews for all of us. We are on our way,but it is going to take a lot of planning onthe part of the Board of Trustees and theadministration of the College, and a lot ofcooperation on the part of every graduate

From the time of theopening remarks of outgoing PresidentNaylor until the aceptance of the presiden-cy by the new president, Dr. W.

Mr. Daniel E.Hannan, Chairman of the College Board ofTrustees, reviewed the past year touchingon some of the activities of the Board, theadministration, and the financial situationof the College at the present time. "Thispast year was a very good year," he stated,"but this is only the beginning." Hepraised the work of the Board membersand the members of the administration forthe performance of their duties. Dr. JohnB. Shumaker, Dean of the College, spokeon some of the progressive changes to bemade in the curriculum, the number of newfaculty to be recruited before school opensin the fall, and projected the student en-rollments for the future. Dr. William B.Strong, Medical Director, spoke of themany changes 'that were taking place inthe Clinic and the Hospital: Changes thatwould bring about an expansion of theservices to the students as teaching units,services to the community and to the Osteo-pathic Profession in general. "In order todo the job that must be done we need moresupervisory personnel," he stated. "Thisis a challenging position for any Osteo-pathic Physician." Mr. Wendell R. Fuller,Registrar, reviewed important events lead-ing up to the present time-starting withthe arrival of Dr. Merlyn McLaughlin asthe new president, Dr. William B.-Strongas the Medical Director, and continuationof the Benefit Ball of the Auxiliary to thePolk County Society of Osteopathic Physi-cians and Surgeons, the renewed activityon the part of the Polk County Society ofOsteopathic Physicians and Surgeons inputting on the first Annual Public HealthBanquet in cooperation with the College, inthe city of Des Moines and also for spon-soring a reception for President McLaugh-lin at the time of the Annual Alumni-Senior Banquet at the Savery Hotel in DesMoines on June 2.

Dr. McLaughlin reviewed briefly his firstyear as president of the institution, andthrough the use of maps of the urban re-development area in Des Moines, pointedout the different sites for a possible newcollege development.

ly on remarks 'made by representatives ofthe College relative to their plans for thefuture-not only in the training of moreosteopathic physicians, but in the far-sightedness of the Board and administra-tion in preparing for a proposed collegeexpansion program. "During the lastthree years," stated Dr. Andreen, "we havebecome a better informed alumni than everbefore in our history. By our growing in-terest- aTd participation in the )Colle pro-grams we can expect to be the best in-formed Alumni Association of any collegein the land. If we, as graduates of theCollege of Osteopathic Medicine and Surg-ery, want to see these changes that havebeen projected here this evening, we mustgive our personal wholehearted support tothis program and encourage other gradu-ates of our institution to do the same. Ashas been stated before, these are the yearsof decision and with these decisions gogreat responsibilities. These are "TheProgressive '60's, The Years of Opportuni-ties." The 'time has arrived when we arecalled upon to participate and to contrib-ute to this great program. Unless our ans-wer is a wholehearted 'yes', we cannot suc-ceed."

Thus ended another Annual Meeting ofthe National Alumni Association of theCollege of Osteopathic Medicine and Surg-ery.

Program for the Deaf"Few persons realize the tremendous need

for more instruction in the language usedby the totally deaf-the sign language,"Leland Ahern, director of the Polk CountyWelfare Department said during a recentdiscussion with him concerning the waysour college and clinic facilities might beof help to that department.

"Language", Mr. Ahern pointed out, "is ameans of communication-be it oral, signor a combination of both. The totally deafperson lives in a narrow world because fewothers know the sign language."

As a result of this conference the Collegewill, as a part of its public service program,provide class room facilities for the Friendsof the Deaf, Inc., to conduct a six-weekclass of instruction in sign language andfinger spelling beginning on Thursday, Oc-tober 13th. Classes will meet each Thursdayevening in Room 304 (entrance on Centerstreet) from 7:00- 8:30 p.m.

The classes will be open to any normalhearing, hard-of-hearing or totally deafperson. The college's student doctors areurged to attend as preparation for servingtheir future deaf patients.

Mr. Ahern said that many persons studyGerman, French, or Spanish in order tocommunicate with natives of those counties.Learning to "talk" with the totally deaf

GETS NEWFA

They said it couldn't be done-but the students did it, painted the outside ofStill Clinic and now you would hardly believe it is the same building! It was a mon-strous job, requiring all kinds of equipment most of us had never heard of, but goodfortune sent us Mr. Glen Lambi, a professional painter and decorator in Des Moinesand a long-time friend of the Clinic and Hospital. Mr. Lambi volunteered equipmentand supervision for the project and with the help of some thirty or more students gavethe clinic its new face. This required two Saturdays, working from 7 A.M. untillate afternoon, plus a few hours to finish up another day, and a job it was: ladders 40feet into the stratosphere, scraping, wire-brushing, then painting (by brush) over 8,000square feet of "ill brick." The city noticed our effort also, since both television sta-tions and the newspaper carried it in picture story. Our results were splendid-comeand see for yourself.

Board MemberOf The Month

Osteopathy was not a new field to DanielE. Hannan, present chairman, when hejoined the Board of Trustees of the Collegeof Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery in1957. "In fact," he said, "with my fatherand an uncle both graduating from the DesMoines college I literally grew up with theprofession."

His father, Dr. Daniel Haann, was agraduate of the class of 1915, and his un-cle, Dr. H. A. Graney, is presently a staffmember at Des Moines General Hospital.

With such a background one might haveexpected young Daniel to consider a medi-cal career, but he chose law for his pro-fession and is today a well-known attorneyand member of a Des Moines law firm.Mr. Hannan is a graduate of the Univer-sity of Notre Dame where he received anA.B. degree, Magna cum Laude, and Har-vard University where he was awarded theLLB degree. Although he was interestedin all sports and participated in many, hefavored baseball and was a mie-ember of theuniversity ball team at Notre Dame.

During World War II, Captain Hannanserved four years as a bomber pilot in theUnited States Air Force and was stationedin the European theater. "Those fouryears of military service," he reminisced,"were four of the most interesting years ofmy life."

Perhaps one of the most amusing inci-dents Captain Hannan recalls was duringa leave of absence when he returned hometo visit his family after flying on severalbomber missions and was "picked up" bya WAC MP (military police) for being outof uniform. He had forgotten to wear histie and before he could be released fromhis "arrest" he had to buy a regulation tieand put it on!

Hannan is a native Iowan ,and marriedto a Des Moines girl, the former JeanneGordon, Miss Iowa of 1945. They are theparents of two boys, aged seven and nine;and one daughter, aged three.

A Child's GiftWhen ten-year-old Diane Lewis, 1014

Creston, Des Moines, received a letter re-cently from Dr. William Hewitt, acting headof the department of Physiology and Pro-fessor of Pharmacology at the College ofOsteopathic Medicine and Surgery, it erasedmuch of the regret she felt after she hadagreed with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rob-ert Lewis, to part with her pet dog, Skipper.(Skipper had developed a tendency to bitepeople and to keep him safely fenced in wasbecoming a problem.)

The letter from Dr. Hewitt, quoted in parthere, reveals that Diane is perhaps one ofIowa's youngest recent contributors to thefield of scientific research.

"Dear Diane Lewis:Thank you very much for the gift of

your dog, Skipper, yesterday.We appreciate what it means to you to

part with your pet. My own girls havehad dogs and I know how much theyloved them. I'm sure Skipper is one ofthe more lovable kind, because, for onething, he's so intelligent.

We owe it to you to tell you how wehope to use Skipper. He will be used inmedical research in a problem concernedwith prevention and care of blood dis-eases. We are studying how the kidneyshelp control the redness of your blood.The kidneys supply a chemical which iscarried in the blood stream to the insideof your long bones where red blood cellsare made.

(A red blood cell is a tiny doughnut-shaped object. They are so tiny thatthere are millions of them in everydrop of blood. If you were to lay themedge to edge, so as to make a sort ofsidewalk, it would take about threethousand of them to make one inch.)

Skipper is behaving himself very well.He hasn't bitten anyone or any other dog,and as far as I know he hasn't evengrowled at anyone. It's too bad he has tobe cooped up, but he will be let looseoften for a run around to keep him heal-thy.

Someday, if you are interested, I'd beglad to show you around the college . . .where we keep animals . . . the class-rooms . . . and the Clinic where not-very-sick-people come, and the Hospital wherewe try to help those who must be in bed.It's very good to know that what you'redoing helps people.

Thank you again.William F. Hewitt, Ph. D."

Because Diane and her fifth grade class-mates at Park Avenue School are studyinga project involving the various parts of thehuman body they are all interested in hergift to the college.

phasized that although the college's researchdepartments have been the grateful recip-ients of many gifts by individuals whowanted to contribute toward their programs,the scarcity of experimental animals is ofreal concern.

1903 Graduate Returns"I'm impressed with today's students! The

questions they ask and the interest they showindicate they know what they want and wherethey're going," asserted Dr. W. R. Arnold,Vancouver, Washington, after he lecturedto Dr. Byron Laycock's classes in Osteo-pathic Principles and Manipulative Tech-niques on November 8 and 9.

Equally impressed were the students asthey listened and watched the tall 85-yearold doctor demonstrate the techniques of the"10-fingered osteopathy" he has used dur-ing his 56 years of practice.

Dr. Arnold's visit to Des Moines and. thecollege was the first one since he graduatedhere in the class of 1903. Mrs. Arnold ac-companied him. on the trip.

Born. in. Iowa in 1875, Dr. Arnold spenthis boyhood on farms near Newton andAmnes and graduated from Grinnell collegein 190.1 before enrolling in the Dr. S. S. StillCollege of Osteopathy-as the college wasthen. known.

When reminiscing about his days as astudent here Dr. Arnold said one of thethings he enjoyed most was being a memberof the college football team. "Those werethe days when a player had to be ruggedto play for thirty minute halves with norest period or substitution of players," hesaid.

Dr. Arnold moved his office from down-town Vancouver, where he has practicedsince his graduation, to an office in his homeabout ten years ago. He still maintains anactive practice.

Dr. and Mrs. Arnold made the visit toDes Moines and the college after a personalinvitation was extended to them by Dr. Mer-lyn McLaughlin, president of COMS, whenhe addressed the Washington state osteo-pathic association meetings early last sum-mer.

THE LOG BOOK

Board Member of theMonth.

When Ted Flynn, vice-chairman of theCOMS Board of Trustees, was a boy hefound his father's profession as a banker amost interesting one ... especially the in-surance division where he spent much of hisspare time working in the office. All ofwhich makes it not at all surprising thattoday he is the successful owner of his owninsurance agency.

When tall, dark-haired Ted Flynn talksabout the marny changes and growth in theinsurance field during the past severalyears, he immediately impresses one withhis deep and sincere interest in his work.

Born in Des Moines, Iowa, Ted Flynn wasgraduated from the former Des MoinesCatholic College. His career in insurancewas interrupted by World War II when heenlisted in the United States Air Force.After a period of training in the states,Sergeant Flynn was stationed at the North-west Field in Guam. Although he trained asa gunner and flew on several bomber mis-sions during the w1ar, most of his work waswith the Intelligence Unit.

After his discharge from military servicein 1946, Mr. Flynn established his own in-surance agency, with offices in a largedowntown Des Moines office building. He isa member of the National, Iowa and DesMoines Associations of Insurance Agents,and has served as both president and sec-tretary-treasurer of the Des Moines asso-ciation.

Mr. and Mrs. Flynn, the former DorothyBolton of Creston, Iowa, are the parents offour children-two boys, Brian, aged 15;Thomas, aged 13, and two girls, Toni, aged21, and Anne, aged 18. When asked if hehas any particular hobbies, Mr. Flynn atonce proudly answered, "My only real hobbyis my family."

In addition to serving as a member of theBoard of Trustees for the College of Osteo-pathic Medicine and Surgery since 1947,Ted Flynn has been active in many com-munity activities. He served as a memberof the Speakers Bureau for the Des MoinesCommunity Chest for several years, and as

Our November meeting featured as guestMrs. Nadeen Gunson, chairman of the Youn-kers Teen Board and Charm Clinic, who dis-cussed some components of "charm," includ-ing posture, clothing, carriage and makeup.An important part of this meeting was thecollection of canned goods and dimes forthe Thanksgiving Basket which we giveannually to some needy family.

In December the wives found themselvesunusually busy. The regular meeting fea-tured a program on "Flower Arranging" byMrs. T. Yamamoto, a Japanese-born Amer-ican citizen. We made plans for a BakeSale in January, to be directed by Mrs.Fred Khani, and a Rummage Sale which wewill hold in April.

December 15th found seven of our num-ber with voices raised in Christmas carolharmony at all three of the OsteopathicHospitals in the city. They were Mrs. Shel-don Kule, president of the club, Mrs. ThomasLavaty, Mrs. Stuart Megdall, Mrs. MurrayHurwitz, Mrs. Chorde Davidson, Mrs.Thomas DiResta and Mrs. Emanuel Kour-akis.

Hannan Addresses Realtors

When the above picture was taken thisgroup was planning for the Postdoctoralprogram to be presented June 1-2, 1961,during graduation week activities. "Detailsof this most interesting program will beannounced in the near future", stated Com-mittee Chairman Dr. Shumaker.

Dr. Harold E. Higley, committee member,was not present for the meeting due to ill-ness.

"If Des Moines were to lose the Collegeof Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery theeconomic impact would run into astronom-ical figures of loss," Daniel E. Hannan, chair-man of the Board of Trustees of COMS, toldthe Des Moines Real Estate Board at itsweekly luncheon meeting, Thursday, Jan-uary 19, as he discussed the college's build-ing program.

A recent survey, Mr. Hannan said, dis-closes that annual spending in Des Moinesfrom the institution exceeds five million dol-lars. Many patients who are treated throughthe clinics would necessarily have to requireservices of tax supported institutions if thecollege clinics were not available.

The college is seeking to acquire a 25 acretract located near down-town Des Moinesfor a new college building, new clinic build-ing and a new hospital, in addition to hous-ing for students.

Mr. Hannan pointed out that late reportsfrom the United States Public Health Serv-ice indicate that if we are to maintain thepresent ratio of M.D.'s and D.O.'s to thepopulation we need to increase our facilitiesto provide for at least 500 students. (Presentenrollment is 283.)

"Right now, Mr. Hannan added, "our fu-ture looks good and we know that if thecitizens of Des Moines will cooperate withour program we can have one of the finestof medical centers."

The city of Des Moines has held its first

city-wide disaster exercise. Participating in

this event were the following hospitals:

Broadlawns County, Iowa Lutheran, Iowa

Methodist, M.ercy and Still Osteopathic Hos-pital.

PCOS Cooperates

The Polk County Osteopathic Society

combined their efforts with physicians from

across the city, both medical and osteo-

pathic, students from C.O.M.S., the city

police and fire departments and the public

schools, to give Des Moines its first city

wide disaster exercise.

Mr. R'alph Scroggs of the Polk County

Red Cross Association instructed C.O.M.S.

freshmen students in the arts of stretcher

bearing and casualty handling prior to the

exercise. The 'mock casualties handled by

the college and hospital were 35 local high

school students who were "injured" in the

collapse of a set of bleachers which held

them. The casualties were sorted and classi-

fied at the scene and then dispatched to

various hospitals. Mr. A. C. Parrenter, Ad-

ministrator of Still Osteopathic Hospital,

was coordinator in charge of all the Polk

County hospitals. Regardless of its being

the first disaster exercise, it was considered

a success and all parties functioned effi-

ciently and well. This program will be re-

peated sometime in the spring of 1961.

Civil Defense Office Loan

The college has recently received a loanfrom the AOA via the Office of Civil andDefense Mobilization of 250 transparenciesfor civil defense educational purposes. Thecollege will make 3 copies of these trans-parencies to be distributed locally, regional-ly and nationally throughout the ostopathicprofession.

However, those plans were changed whenWorld War I started and young Marion atonce enlisted. He served as a 1st Sergeantin the Medical Corps at Ft. Riley, Kansas,where he was in charge of all records forthe Corps doctors. He was later transferredto officers' training school and was com-missioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Quarter-master Corps and served in that capacityuntil his discharge.

Following his army service, Mr. Wallacewas offered a position with a small bank inIllinois. "This," he says, "was one of the

finest experiences I had to prepare me formy present jobs."

He was married to Miss Zella Green in1919, lwho was, at that timte, employed asa teacher in the V inton Public Schools.They were the parents of one daughter. Mrs.Wallace passed away in ]1957.
