COLLEGE FACILITIESThe College of Veterinary Medicine Cam­

pus is and will continue for some time to be a beehive of construction activities as seen in the picture on the preceding page(picture by Columbus Dispatch). During this year:

• Construction of the new Veterinary Hospital started in January and prog­ress is close to schedule. The buildingshould be ready for occupancy early in1972.

• A 283-space parking lot was built be­tween Sisson Hall and the OlentangyRiver Road on both sides of the pedes­trian walkway which crosses the river from Sisson to the Tower Dormitories and the new River Student Union (nowunder construction).

• Construction of another section of the new Olentangy Freeway is underway.This section extends from the corner of Kinnear Road and the Olentangy River Road to the south of Sisson and west of Goss Laboratory and follows the railroad tracks north to Ackerman Road. Later, the next section will be constructed north from Ackerman Road, crossing over the junction of Broadway and the present Olentangy River Road and will continue north to Henderson Road.

Within Sisson Hall, several improvements have been accomplished:

• Capacity of the microbiology teachinglaboratory was increased from 40 to 60student stations.

• A major modification was made to the stage end of the large auditorium to permit effective and maximum use of all types of audio-visual teaching ma­terials.

• The anatomy refrigeration room was increased in size.

• The library was rearranged to improve the utilization of space and provide an area for additional student study carrels.

• New glassware washing and drying equipment was procured and installed

at a central location to take care of all activities in Sisson Hall.

• Alterations were made to the physiol­ogy teaching laboratory to permit useof closed-circuit television in conduct­ing demonstrations and laboratory ex­ercises.

• Wall-through type air conditioning wasinstalled in faculty offices.

• Improvements were made to the neur­ology laboratory to improve utilizationfor teaching and research.

• Animal rooms on the 2nd and 3rdfloors of Sisson Hall were improved,including environmental systems tocontrol temperature, humidity andlighting.

• A basement room used for studentactivities was painted, the floor tiled,adequate lighting provided, and newfurniture procured.

• The snack-bar room in the basementhas new tables, chairs and vendingequipment. The room was painted andthe floor tiled.

There were several improvements made to the Goss Pathology Laboratory. These included increasing the seating in the audio-visual classroom from 100 to 120 seats; improvements to laboratory animal rooms; and the provision of lockers, bench­es, and adequate heating in the student area of the necropsy suite.

Although some minor alterations have been accomplished at the temporary veter­inary hospital building, these have been kept to a minimum since we will remain

THE SPECULUM

in this facility for a relatively short periodof time. The classroom was greatly im­proved with a lay-in ceiling, paint, air-conditioning, and a sound system.

A great deal of effort is being expendedto develop and procure learning resources, including materials needed for autotutorialinstruction as well as audio-visual aids for classroom instruction. Priority in the equip­ment and supply program has been given to learning resources to support fully the faculty and students' needs for teaching and learning.

Providing the best possible facilities, ma­terials and equipment to create and main­tain an environment which is conducive to highly effective teaching and learning isthe major college goal. Although good prog­ress in reaching this objective was made this past year, much remains to be accom­plished.

Student Leaders in the College

The Speculum reporters stopped to see Dr. Venzke, Secretary and Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, with this request: "Dr. Venzke, talk to us about the students and the role of student leadership in the Col­lege." This is what we heard him say:

"With a cooperative effort on the part of many students, faculty, and administration, we have launched autumn quarter 1970, the beginning of the University's second cen­tury, on a positive note. On the positive side of the ledger within the College of Veterinary Medicine, is the construction of the new Veterinary Hospital, the addition of new faculty, the knowledge that we have distinguished teachers on our faculty and an organization for involving more students in the educational program.

"We have a great opportunity since there is only one College of Veterinary Medicine in the state of Ohio, making us an import­ant part of our society and culture. The students enrolled in our College are rap­idly becoming leaders of tomorrow.

"Therefore, it is necessary that students become involved in the education program, and through work with the faculty, focus

attention on constructive programs that will help them face problems squarely and find new solutions in the future. The edu­cation program must develop self-reliant individuals who are capable of identifyingand solving problems in veterinary medi­cine. The discoveries made by students about veterinary medicine will determine the success of the College.

"The professional student organizations are a vital part of the education program in the College. This year Mr. Robert C. Stanbery is serving as president of the Student Chapter of the American Veterin­ary Medical Association. Mrs. Sharon Steedis serving as president of the Ladies Auxil­iary Student Chapter of the American Vet­erinary Medical Association. Mr. Stanberyand Mrs. Steed will provide the leadershipnecessary to motivate interest and enthus­iasm among the students for organized veterinary medicine. The Student Chapterof the AVMA deserves the support of eachstudent enrolled in the College. Students must learn early in their professional career that organized veterinary medicineis necessary for professional development. The professional organizations unite the student body and provide for strong socialand academic programs in the College.

"The class presidents, Mr. Thomas Cra­go, fourth-year class president, Mr. StevenMiller, third-year class president, Mr. Wil­liam Iman, second-year class president and Mr. Richard Bell, first-year class presidentare unusually well-qualified leaders. Thesemen will effectively unite their classes andestablish positive programs of achievement.

"The Student Council and Advisory Com­mittee to the Dean is fortunate to have Mr. Jerry Pearson serving as president this year. This will be an effective organization that will serve as a liaison between the student body and the office of the Dean. Through this Council students have an op­portunity to present ideas that improve theCollege.

"Each class is represented on the Coun­cil on Education—Mr. Marvin Steed, fourth-year class, Mr. Floyd Kirby, third-year class, Mr. Ivan Fullmore, second-year classand Mr. Thomas Ebenhack, first-year class. The Council acts to evaluate and revise the curriculum. The Council provides an opportunity for both student and facultyinput in the continuous improvement of the education program.

Remember to look for the Corvel Extra/Ordinary benefits At first glance, pharmaceuticals and biologicals in the Corvel Extra/Ordinary Line might seem similar to competitive products. But when you look closer, you find advantages not duplicated elsewhere. There are no "ordinary" products here!

Often the most obvious difference is a proprietary one, such as found in the Tylocine® products. Or it might be a difference in your cost, a quality difference, or support for the veterinary profession through Client Education literature or the Corvel Practice and Professional Aids program.

Be sure you know all the products good enough to be in the Corvel Extra/Ordinary Line—and never settle for less than the Extra/Ordinary advantages.

Continuing Education OffersUnique Fracture Fixation Course

Veterinarians from 25 states and Canada learned an entirely new technique for treat­ing fractures at a two-day short course of­fered March 19 and 20 by The Ohio StateUniversity College of Veterinary Medicine department of continuing education. The same opportunity will be offered again March 18-20, 1971.

The session was taught and equipped—for the first time in the United States—bythe Swiss experts who have pioneered thenew technique. Previously the course had been available only at the Laboratory for Experimental Surgery of the Swiss Re­search Institute at Davos, Switzerland.

Only limited numbers of doctors and veterinarians had been able to take ad­vantage of it, until Dr. R. Bruce Hohn, as­sociate professor of surgery and radiology of the O.S.U. Veterinary Medical College, went to Switzerland in November, 1969, to take the course and decided to try to bring it to the U.S.

Accordingly, he and Dr. John H. Helwig,director of continuing education for the college, organized and publicized the course, planning each minute of the two days to yield the maximum sharing of knowledge to student and teacher alike. (The nearly 100 practitioners who enrolled were not the only ones to learn somethingnew. At one point in a practical demonstra­tion, one of the principal lecturers, an M.D., spied a piece of veterinary orthopedic equipment and consulted on the spot witha metallurgist about adapting it to humanmedical use.)

The course encompassed the study of osteogenesis and various technical prin­ciples of stable internal fixation of fresh fractures and non-unions, with emphasis on compression osteosynthesis and related principles.

Both theory and practical application were included. Veterinarians had oppor­tunities to use precision Swiss equipmentin two fully-equipped labs under the guid­ance of 23 instructors familiar with the technique and the equipment. The lab ses-

Gabel, professor of veterinary surgery in The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine and one of the in­structors for the short course on internal fixation of fractures, watches at left while Marvin Beeman, D.V.M., of Littleton, Colo­rado, center, and Robert Baker, D.V.M., of West Covena, California, work in one of the laboratory sessions.

sions followed lectures and films on frac­tures and internal fixation.

During the practical sessions, veterin­arians could follow sound films of the procedures they were learning. After the lab work came further lectures on frac­tures treatment, complications, and follow-up. There were opportunities throughout for practitioners to question the experts.

Principal visiting lecturers were Dr. Stephan M. Perren, head of the Swiss Re­search Institute Laboratory for Experiment­al Surgery at Davos; Howard Rosen, M.D.,associate clinical professor of orthopedicsurgery at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine and attending orthopedic surgeon at the Ani­mal Medical Center, New York; and JacquesJenny, D.V.M., professor of orthopedic sur­gery at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine.

Veterinary medical practitioners engage in one of the laboratory sessions included in a short course on internal fixation of frac­tures held March 19 and 20 at The Ohio State University. The course will be offered again at O.S.U. in March of 1971.

Sequin, head engineer of the Swiss firm manufacturing the orthopedic equipment, and Roger Staehle, associate professor of metallurgical engineering at O.S.U., dis­cussed the requirements for instruments used in internal fixation of bone fractures.

Some $60,000 worth of orthopedic equip­ment was furnished for the session by Surel, Inc., a division of Smith, Kline and French, the U.S. distributor for the Swiss firm; The Stryker Corporation; and The Orthopedic Equipment Company.

The equipment can be obtained in the United States through these companies. The veterinarians who attended the clinic, while commenting that they planned to purchase some of the specialized equip­ment, nevertheless felt that they could put much of what they learned to immediate use with present equipment.

Their consensus was that they had taken advantage of an exceptional opportunity. Most urged that the course be repeated for the benefit of their associate veterinarians. Anyone interested in attending, or know­ing of others who are, can facilitate ad­vance planning by contacting Dr. Helwig or Dr. Hohn at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, 1900 Cof­fey Road, Columbus, Ohio 43210.

CONTINUING EDUCATION By JAMES VANZANT —Vet. Med. II

In the area of continuing education therehave been various conferences set up for the near future. The Department of Pre­ventive Medicine will hold a short course on animal and public health in November,1970 and March, 1971.

Dr. Milton Wyman will present a general ophthalmology course March 1 and 2, 1971and an advanced ophthalmology course onMarch 14-17, 1971.

On March 18-20, 1971, Drs. Richard L. Rudy and R. Bruce Hohn will present an orthopedic short course. There will be a horsemen's short course presented by theCollege on November 9 and 10, 1971.

On November 16-18, 1971, O.S.U. will host a meeting of food and hygiene teach­ers from schools of veterinary medicine all over the country.

Excluding the advanced ophthalmology course and the food and hygiene teacher conference, the conferences can be attend­ed by any interested veterinarian.

Kennel Club DonationStarts Student Loan Fund

The Dan Emmett Kennel Club of Mt. Vernon has donated $1,000 to The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine to start a rotating loan fund for veterinary medical students.

Dale A. White, of Mt. Vernon, presented the gift to Dean Clarence R. Cole on June 8 on behalf of the kennel club. Dean Cole told him that the fund "will benefit not only one or more individual recipients but through them will further the interests of the kennel club and all dog breeders."

The Dan Emmett Kennel Club, in addi­tion to sponsoring two obedience classes and two American Kennel Club-sanctioned dog shows each year, has donated gifts to Pilot Dogs, Inc., of Columbus, the Alaskan Disaster Dog Relief Fund, and other groups.

Dr. Wyman Wins Distinguished University Teaching Award

Dr. Milton Wyman, associate professor in The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, received one of the University's coveted Distinguished Teach­ing Awards for 1970. He is the first mem­ber of the O.S.U. veterinary medical fac­ulty to receive this honor from the Uni­versity.

The awards are made each year on be­half of the Alumni Association and the Development Fund on the basis of student recommendations. This year's eight recip­ients—three more than have received the honor in previous years—were chosen from 900 nominations submitted by students. Each received a $1,000 cash prize and a plaque.

The awards are made to "recognize and give evidence of the importance placed on superior teaching in the University and to provide encouragement and incentive for teaching achievement," according to the

Alumni Association. The selection chairman noted that this year's nominations showed that students particularly favored faculty members who would communicate with them freely in or out of class.

Dean Clarence R. Cole, commenting on Dr. Wyman's qualifications for the award, said that he is "known nationally and in­ternationally for his discoveries in the field of eye diseases. The scholarly eminence of Dr. Wyman attracts graduate students from all parts of the country to The Ohio State University."

Dr. Wyman, a native of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, is a 1963 graduate of the O.S.U. Col­lege of Veterinary Medicine. He received his M.S. in veterinary medicine from O.S.U. in 1964 and has been on the faculty of the college since that time, specializing in oph­thalmology. He is married, and he and Mrs. Wyman have two children.

The familiar smile ofDr. Edward F. Donovan

Dr. Donovan Wins Distinguished College Teaching Award By BOB WIRT —Vet. Med. I

Dr. Edward F. Donovan darts through the lobby of the veterinary hospital, ob­livious to everything but the papers in his hand. The reporter that has come to inter­view this recipicent of the 1970 Distin­guished Teaching Award hails him and asks for a few minutes of his carefully organ­ized time. Dr. Donovan waves the papers and says, "Just let me get this started. I'll be right with you."

The Distinguished Teaching Award is given annually by the College of Veterinary Medicine, based on student evaluation of the faculty. Professors are rated on their teaching methods and their interest in the students.

The telephone page calls for Dr. Dono­van. He scurries from a distant examina­tion room to his office, indicating by a nod for the reporter to follow. The call con­cerns the condition of a patient. Dr. Dono­van explains the progress in the case to the

owner and scrawls a note to call this client when more information is available.

He flips on the air conditioner, lights a Winston and the interview begins.

"Dr. Donovan, from which school did you get your D.V.M. and when?"

"Ohio State, 1949." Dr. Donovan, professor of small animal

medicine in charge of small animal medi­cine in the veterinary hospital, had a pri­vate practice in Canton until he returned to OSU as a faculty member in 1955.

"Your family—can you tell me something about them?"

"You don't know what you're getting into," he warns jokingly. "My wife Theda and I have five children. The oldest boy is a graduate of Stanford, and a senior med­ical student at U.C.L.A. Our second son is a senior at Duke. We have a boy who's a sophomore at West Point; our daughter is a freshman at Miami; and the youngest

FALL, 1970

boy is a junior in high school." He draws a deep breath and then slumps in the chair, reviewing his previous words with a satisfied reverie.

"My outside interests are church and youth work," Dr. Donovan explains. "I also swim and try to golf a little."

"Dr. Donovan, what do you consider to be your primary responsibilities here as a teacher?"

He forms his phrases thoughtfully and precisely. "Primarily, I am teaching the principles of diagnosis and therapy to sen­ior veterinary students, using clinical pa­tients as primary teaching tools. Also I ampresenting formal courses in small animalmedicine to junior veterinary students, and helping direct the learning processesof sophomores and freshmen through par­ticipation in the new curriculum. In my teaching, the challenge is to stimulate thestudents to perform to the maximum of their abilities."

"Are there any guidelines that you could offer your fellow professionals and stu­dents?"

Dr. Donovan responds quickly, in a man­ner that suggests the importance of his points. "First do your best on each case presented. Keep abreast of current develop­ments in your area of interest. Realize your responsibility to your clients and realize your responsibility to your community."

The interview complete, our distin­guished teacher hurries back to his small animals and big responsibilities.

New Department

of Clinical Sciences

The College of Veterinary Medicine de­partments of clinics, surgery and radiology, and medicine were merged into a new de­partment of veterinary clinical sciences effective July 1, 1970. Dr. Vernon L. Tharp was named acting chairman of the new department.

The merger was the culmination of a full year's study and negotiation, initiated by faculty members in the three depart­ments involved. It was felt that programs in the existing departments were inter­related; that the three departments com­peted for resources, including use of clin­ical facilities; and that the majority of faculty members in the three departments were responsible to more than one depart­ment head.

In addition to removing duplication, themerger will have other advantages, as waspointed out in requesting University ap­proval of the change. The combined de­partment will ease transition to the new curriculum, it will promote a balance be­tween research and clinical services, which will be more attractive to scholars, and it will be accepted favorably by the Council on Education of the American Veterinary Medical Association.

In the reorganization, the chairman of the department of clinical sciences will be responsible for all clinical programs and resources. Faculty leadership in education­al innovation will be encouraged, and im­plementation of interdisciplinary programs will be expedited.

July 1, 1970, was chosen as the effective date of the merger, since terms of office for all three department chairmen involvedexpired on June 30, 1970. A joint faculty committee of the College of VeterinaryMedicine and the College of Medicine will recommend three to five veterinarians as candidates for permanent chairman for thenew department.

The creation of the new department camewith its approval by the College of Veterin­ary Medicine executive committee on July8, 1969. The executive committee forward­ed to the faculty, for approval, a detailed study on August 8, 1969. The committee pointed out that only one other veterinary medical college of the 21 in North Americamaintains separate departments of surgeryand medicine.

The Council on Academic Affairs ap­proved the request on February 9, 1970, and forwarded it to the Faculty Council for consideration and transmittal to the Board of Trustees. Final approval came atthe regular Board of Trustees meeting April 9, 1970.

MORE ABOUT ALUMNI

T. C. Jones - Honory Degree The man who established veterinary medi­cal pathology as a modern functional dis­cipline was honored at The Ohio State University's Centennial Spring Commence­ment ceremonies with the Doctor of Science degree.

Dr. Thomas Carlyle Jones, associate clin­ical professor of pathology, Harvard Med­ical School, and president of the Inter­national Academy of Pathology, became the first veterinarian to receive an O.S.U. honorary degree. The Honors Committee, the Executive Committee and faculty of the College of Veterinary Medicine unanimous­ly selected and recommended Dr. Jones for the honor over a year ago on June 25, 1969.

Dean Clarence R. Cole and Mrs. Cole held a reception in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Jones for members of the O.S.U. veterinary med­ical and medical faculties in the Center for Tomorrow on June 11.

A native of Boise, Idaho, Dr. Jones re­ceived B.S. and D.V.M. degrees from Wash­ington State University in 1935, graduating with highest honors. Following graduation, he held many administrative, teaching, and research posts with the U.S. Army Veterin­ary Medical Corps, retiring in 1957 with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

While at Walter Reed Army Medical Cen­ter, Dr. Jones started the Section of Veter­inary Pathology as part of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, developing an advanced training program which con­tinues today as the model for professional educational methods. He is author of a text­book which has been acclaimed and used world-wide as an authority on pathology for thirteen years.

FALL, 1970

i i Or. Jones enjoys the reception with other guests.

Dr. Jones has also been an important contributor to comparative pathology. Ap­pointed director of pathology at Angell Memorial Animal Hospital and associate director of the New England Regional Pri­mate Center in 1957, he has had wide in­fluence in stimulating comparative studies on animal models of human disease.

Among his many honors and achieve­ments are the Hoskins Medal, 1939, Army Veterinary School, Washington, D. C; Le­gion of Merit, 1939-1946, for research in the U.S. Army; and the Certificate of Merit, 1957, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.

E. B. McCRADY

O.S.U. Veterinary Clinic Pharmacist from 1943 to 1969.

E. B. McCrady From Harbor City, California, comes

word that E. B. McCrady, for 26 years O.S.U. Veterinary Clinic pharmacist, is en­joying retirement and finds California great for golf and the good life.

Many alumni will remember that Mac was always willing to help them with their work, make up special equipment packs, and in general make the work of the clinic run smoothly. No doubt his California neighbors are finding out, as his co-workers at the clinic did, that Mac has a kind word for everybody and takes pride in doing a good job.

The clinic and college staff gave a sur­prise party for Mac on his retirement No­vember 1, 1969. He had completed thirty years with the University, first coming to the clinic as part-time pharmacist in 1943. In 1945, employed full time, he served as pharmacist, supervisor of central supply, and X-ray technician.

Mac writes, "My wife and I would be delighted to entertain any of our veterin­ary friends, who may find us at 1501 Palos Verde Drive, North, Harbor City, Cali­fornia 90710." Mac, thorough as always, even includes his phone number: 213/326­5278.

OVMA PRECEPTORSHIP

The Preceptorship program was highly successful in the summer of 1969 and more students chose the program for the sum­mer of 1970. The success of the program is truly a credit to the OVMA and mem­ber veterinarians who contribute their time and talent by participating in the Precep­torship program.

Robert G. Whiteus, D.V.M., now serves as liaison between the College of Veterin­ary Medicine and Dr. Rosenberger, Chair­man of the Committee on Education of the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association. Per­sons wishing to participate in the Precep­torship should contact Dr. Whiteus.

College Placement Officer

Dr. Verne W. Cornils, Hospital Admin­istrator, has been appointed Placement Of­ficer for the College of Veterinary Medi­cine.

The primary goal of the Placement Of­ficer is to make opportunities for veterin­arians known to members of our student body, especially members of the senior class; and to assist faculty members in pro­viding letters of recommendation to pros­pective employers.

Those persons interested in additional information should contact Dr. Cornils at 422-6661.

Public Service Gaines Dog Research Center has come up

with a new 24-page booklet that should prove a three-way benefit to practitioners, their clients, and their patients.

Entitled "How to Succeed in Housetrain­ing Puppies and Dogs," the booklet offers guidelines for a variety of situations (work­ing owners, city dwellers, aging dogs, ner­vous dogs), plus advice on problem pets. It is illustrated with pen and ink sketches.

Copies may be obtained free by mailing a request to "How to Succeed in Housetrain­ing Puppies and Dogs," P. 0. Box 1007, Kankakee, Illinois 60901.

Parasitology and Microbiology

By BEA TURK —Vet. Med. II and GARY SMITH —Vet. Med. I

The Department of Parasitology and Microbiology, as have other departments, has developed new elective series on the graduate level to meet demands set forth by the new program. Courses will be taught by Drs. Scothorn, Groves, Lehky, Wehrle and Milo.

Dr. Milo's recent interests include studies on nucleoside analogues and the effects on viral multiplication, oncogenesis and aging and has published articles on these sub­jects in conjunction with Dr. Yohn and Dr. Olsen.

The most recent addition to the depart­ment of veterinary parasitology is Dr. Bruce John Lehky, who received both his B.S. degree in zoology in 1966 and his

D.V.M. in 1970 from The Ohio State Uni­versity. During his years at Ohio State, Dr.Lehky was a member of Alpha Psi frater­nity and Phi Zeta honorary. This fall, Dr. Lehky begins work on his M.S. along withperforming teaching duties at Sisson Hall and in the clinic.

Dr. Lehky and his wife, Karen, have aneighteen-month-old daugther, Christine. Dr.Lehky's other interests include bass fishing,camping, and hunting. He works with leath­er and is presently engaged in tumblingand polishing a type of rock known as LakeSuperior Agate. Professionally, he is inter­ested in parasites of zoo animals, particu­larly those of zoo cats and reptiles.

Veterinary Pathology

By BRUCE BAUERSFELD — Vet. Med. Ill

This past spring the College of Veterin­ary Medicine took part in an effort to gen­erate interest in cancer research.

The American Cancer Society kicked off its annual Cancer Research Solicitation Drive by inviting each high school class inFranklin County and community organiza­tions to view first hand the cancer research laboratories of their choice in the Colum­bus area.

On April 6 approximately 500 students investigated different areas of the Chil­dren's Hospital, College of Medicine, Uni­versity Hospital and the College of Veterin­ary Medicine. The primary objective of the tours was to bring research activities intocloser relationship with those who supportit, and to encourage students to go into the field of cancer research. Many students, who did much of the soliciting, had the option of visiting one of several cancer research laboratories.

Dr. Gary Davis, Department of Pathol­ogy, served as coordinator and host for ourCollege's portion of the activities. Five tours for groups of 25 to 30 students wereconducted through the various areas of cancer research in the Goss Pathology Lab­oratory. Dr. Davis and Dr. Edward Hoover alternated in presenting introductory re-

marks and in serving as tour guides for every other group. Ample time was taken for questions and demonstrations.

Dr. Richard Olsen presented an immunol­ogy demonstration in the chemical path­ology laboratory. In the area of electron microscopy, Dr. James Swenberg empha­sized the importance of ultrastructure of cancer cells and cancer viruses. Dr. David Yohn presented a lecture demonstration of tissue culture techniques and virology inthe histopathologic laboratory. In the germ­free life laboratory, Dr. Bruce McCullough described both the uses and production ofgermfree animals in research.

Following a general question and answersession, the students found they had been exposed to many new ideas and had seen many different things. They left with a feeling of awareness of current problems and perhaps an urge to expand the hori­zons of cancer research in the years ahead.

Physiology and Pharmacology

By SANDRA JOHNS —Vet. Med. II

This summer found various members of the department traversing the country in­corporating both business and travel. Dr. Robert Hamlin traveled to Point Mugu Naval Air Station in California to record ECG's from seals and sea lions in a con­tinuation of his research into comparative electrocardiography.

Dr. Roger Yeary also headed west to par­ticipate in giving the American Board of Toxicology examination in Colorado and then proceeded to several other univer­sities in the area for observation and con­sultation purposes. His current activities include research on comparative toxicology, work with the USDA Cooperative ExtensionService investigations into corn blight andthe possible repercussions of feeding blight­ed corn to livestock, and representing the College on the University Faculty Councilfor 1970-1973.

Dr. Lloyd Davis traveled east to testify in a doping case at Belmont Park, New York, as to the effects of procaine on racingperformance. He also spent much of his

time in the department on comparative studies in drug metabolism and published three papers on his research.

Heading in yet another direction, Dr. Desmond Baggot spent a month at the U.S.Atomic Energy Commission in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, taking an intensive course in the study of radioisotopes in research. He was the only veterinarian in a class pre­dominating in nuclear physicists. He is cur­rently utilizing the knowledge gained therein his research into the metabolism of am­phetamines and their rate of entry into various body fluids for which he is usinga highly sensitive method of measurement.He hopes to present the results of his studies at the Federation of American So­cieties for Experimental Medicine Proceed­ings Meeting in Chicago next spring.

A newcomer to the department this fall is Dr. William W. Muir, a 1970 graduate of the Michigan State College of Veterin­ary Medicine. He will assist with teachingduties in the department while pursuing educational interests in cardiovascular physiology. Dr. Muir stated he preferredOhio State because the faculty has a great­er number of D.V.M.'s than many veterin­ary colleges, which tend to rely more on Ph.D.'s and M.D.'s to teach their students, and therefore are not as clinically oriented as we are here.

Veterinary Clinical Sciences

By JERRY HARRIS —Vet. Med. II

On July 1, 1970 the Departments of Vet­erinary Medicine, Veterinary Clinics, and Veterinary Surgery and Radiology merged to become the new Department of Clinical Sciences. With the initiation of the new curriculum centered on common medical principles and team coaching by systems rather than individual disciplines, there is a greater demand for free interchange of personnel.

In addition to demand, emerging special­ty areas such as ophthalmology, obstetrics and reproduction, neurology and cardiology necessitates development of an individual with complete capabilities of providing clinical services and teaching students. Now a faculty team can trace an organ or or­gan system from its embryologic develop­ment through medical and surgical treat­ment required in patient care.

In addition to clinical teaching and ser­vice, the merger should provide more eco­nomical use of the Veterinary Clinic, and support services as well as facilitate an ef­fective interdisciplinary research program.

The department wishes to extend its congratulations to two of its members: Dr. Milton Wyman is one of eight profes­sors to be awarded the University's Dis­tinguished Alumni Teaching Award which

is given each year on behalf of the Alumni Association and Development Fund on thebasis of student recommendation. Dr. Ed­ward Donovan was the recipient of the Col­lege of Veterinary Medicine's Outstanding Teaching Award given annually by the students and faculty.

A recent purchase by the department is a 12' x 50' mobile home completely furn­ished and air conditioned providing livingfacilities for five students at the model practice in Marysville.

Dr. Arthur Fetter is a new face on the faculty as a Research Professor in Bovine Medicine serving as Scientific Director of Bovine Research Program.

The post of Research Professor of EquineMedicine is supported by Mr. John Gal-breath and Associates and Director of Equine Research Program will be filled byDecember 1. The department has also justreceived from Scioto Downs and the Mid-American Racing Association $1,000 to be added to the Charles D. Hill Equine Re­search Fellowship.

Progress is continuing in developing re­search facilities on the Alice Lloyd FindlayVeterinary Research Farm for long termhousing of animals in clinical research onlivestock diseases. This facility is located 3 miles north of West Jefferson.

College Convocation By BOB WIRT — Vet. Med. I

There are moments (closely guarded mo­ments, to be sure), in the daily routine ofeach first year veterinary student, when bright surgical lights suddenly appear and mental circuits phase out such priorities as acid-base reactions and gross anatomy charts. During these moments, the first year student magically becomes the doctor, the healer—the idol of his own imagination.

In such a shared moment on September 29, 1970, the 120 members of the Class of 1974 underwent a first scrub of discrim­inating, dissecting faculty and upperclass­men eyes, as they were welcomed into "a community of scholars and scientists, past and present," at the Center for Tomorrow.

Following the invocation by Dr. Charles D. Diesem, the Centennial Class was wel­comed by Dean Clarence R. Cole and urged "to discover new truths and shake off old prejudices."

Dr. William J. Roenigk, President of the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association and speaker of the evening, suggested a "pro­fessionalism not marked by protest, but by thoughtful consideration."

Recognition of first year professional stu­dents was given by Assistant Dean Dr. Walter G. Venzke.

After recognition of student officials, Dr. Edward F. Donovan was presented the 1970 Distinguished Teacher Award. The convo­cation then was adjourned to a reception, honoring the first year professional stu­dents and their families.

AVMA News By BETTY ROSEUM — Vet. Med. II

Summer! A chance to escape from the from feed and drug companies and other halls of learning and relax for most stu- groups. These can then be presented to dents. But the officers and committee the veterinarians at OVMA or other con-chairmen of the Ohio State Student Chapter ventions, to make them aware of the ma-of the American Veterinary Medical Asso- terial they can obtain for the benefit and ciation (SCAVMA) stayed on the job education of their clients. through the summer months.

Robert Stanbery, president of SCAVMA and Robert Hutchison, president-elect, rep­resented Ohio State at the National Con­ference of Student Chapters (NCSC) held in Las Vegas last June.

Hutchison was elected secretary of the NCSC at the Las Vegas conference.

In reporting on the trip, Stanbery said, "Bob and I were able to talk with delegatesfrom all the other veterinary colleges anddiscuss common problems. We brought back a lot of new ideas and ways we feelwe can better serve our Ohio State chapter.

"The Ohio State chapter headed the pub­lic relations committee at the convention. We feel that as students we can probably be of the most benefit to the professionthrough our work in public relations."

Public relations was the theme of most of the O.S.U. SCAVMA projects over the summer. John Rehm and his committee, with the help of veterinarians across the state did an outstanding job at the surgerybooth at the Ohio State Fair. This year thebooth will remain assembled in the Co­lumbus Building of the fairgrounds all year. It is hoped that its more permanent posi­tion will permit the addition of new equip­ment formerly impractical when the booth had to be dismantled yearly.

The Chapter also operated an informa­tion booth at the Farm Science Review, sponsored every September by the O.S.U. College of Agriculture. Lonnie Davis and his committee had several pamphlets avail­able to the visitors dealing with disease andpreventive measures. The success of the booth brought an invitation to attend again next year.

An effective public relations program must extend to the alumni, who can pass information on to their clients. To help keep the state's veterinarians up to date, the Chapter has formed a client-oriented information bureau. The objective is to compile all the charts and tables available

This fall the Chapter's Speakers Bureauwill again be in operation, providing stu­dent speakers to schools and clubs. Tours of the clinic are offered through the Bureau.

Each class will have two representativesto the student chapter this year. This new policy will enable more students to par­ticipate in the administration of the stu­dent chapter as well as serve to increase communications with the various classes.

During the year, SCAVMA plans a series of interesting and enjoyable presentations for their bimonthly meetings. One of the fall programs is on the physiology of heart-lung bypass, with a film of a human heart transplant, narrated by a cardiac surgeon from the University Hospital. Any inter­ested alumni are welcome to drop into Sis­son Hall on the first and third Wednesdays of each month for the meetings.

Student Leaders (Continued from page 3)

Johns and other professional assistants. The Speculum provides an opportunity forstudents to gain experience in writing. The publication serves as a strong link betweenthe College and the alumni.

"The social portion of the College pro­gram is enhanced by the two professional fraternities; namely, Omega Tau Sigma and Alpha Psi. Mr. Rick Meiring and Mr. John Paul serve respectively as presidents.The two fraternities will provide excellent leadership in the development of profes­sionalism for the student body.

"With the kind of student leadership here reported, the College of Veterinary Medicine cannot fail in soaring to great heights in achievement and national ac­claim. I speak for the entire faculty when I say, 'The students of this College are ourkind of people.' "

The objectives of the Auxiliary are to acquaint these young women with their responsibilities as wives of veterinarians and to teach them how they may help theirhusbands in their chosen field, to familiar­ize and prepare them for membership in the local, state, and national organizations, and to promote and strengthen the bonds of friendship among members of the Auxil­iary as they share the joys, frustration, andsometimes loneliness of being student wives.

Wives of upperclassmen answered questions and discussed what the Auxiliaryhad meant to them, the importance of being informed about the career their hus­band had chosen, and their experiences. Aswives, we must recognize our responsibil­ities.

The programs for the year are both socialand education oriented. Mrs. 0. W. Fallang,OVMA Auxiliary student liaison and Mrs. Susan Russell, Franklin Village representa­tive, were guests at our get-acquainted meeting. They familiarized members with the state auxiliary and the college.

Many of us wonder what the "real world" is like. This fall "Working With Your Hus­band?" is the topic of discussion at the November education session. Dr. and Mrs. Alessio Medina, who have been working together, he as the veterinarian and she as personnel manager, bookkeeper, recep­tionist, will discuss the advantages and dis­advantages of helping your husband. In the spring, a panel of three veterinarians and their wives will relate their experi­ences and answer questions.

A man from Pilot Dogs, the institute for training dogs to lead the blind, will ex­plain and demonstrate their program. Many veterinarians in Columbus and elsewhere participate in this program which is di­

rectly related to the profession. Small ani­mal surgery including aseptic techniques, the film "The Gentle Doctor," and answer­ing the phone in emergencies are among the other profession-oriented programs.

"Budget" is THE WORD while in school. To help make living on a budget more at­tractive, a new dual purpose social and money-making project has been added thisyear—The Christmas Auction. Each girl isasked to make one or two items to be sold. To prepare for the auction the girls are having work parties where several girls gettogether and learn how to make beautiful gifts or decorations from inexpensive items;e.g., wreaths from dry cleaner bags.

Most wives are interested in what their husbands wear and with the current changes in men's fashions, shopping for your husband is fun. In April, a men's fashion coordinator will bring us up-to­date on the trends in men's fashions. This one should be of particular interest to hubby also.

The Pet Care Clinic is our major service project. This is sponsored for a group offifty Girl Scouts who are earning their pet care badge. Care, feeding, housebreaking, grooming, and whelping are discussed. Thegirls are also given a tour of the clinic.

Other service projects include serving refreshments at AVMA Student Chapter meetings (those husbands are still the ap­ples of our eyes!), filling a birthday cup­board at Franklin Village, and marching for charities.

The Senior Tea is one of the social high­lights of the year. PHT awards and charms are presented to all senior members of the Auxiliary and it is both a sad and joyous occasion. Suddenly the years seem to have flown by and all will be going their separate ways.

Being the wife of a professional man does have added responsibilities. The Auxiliary acquaints members with their responsibil­ities as wives of veterinarians, familiarizes them with the state and national organiza­tions, and builds lasting friendships.

1970 Farm ScienceReview Display

The Student Chapter American Veterin­ary Medical Association's display at the 1970 Farm Science Review was a great success, according to L. C. Ferguson, chair­man of the Ohio Agricultural Research andDevelopment Center and Lonnie Davis, Vet.Med. II, chairman of the exhibit committee.

The display utilized a slide and tape pres­entation on disease recognition and eradi­cation. The display also included a presen­tation on herd health programming, and a selection of U.S. Department of Agricul­ture pamphlets on disease control.

Davis, who manned the booth during the three-day Review in September, said that over 1,000 people a day saw the exhibit. The biggest response came from Future Farmers of America and 4-H club members, he said. Many people asked questions aboutthe University and the College of Veterin­ary Medicine.

The SCAVMA has been invited to put upa display at the next Farm Science Review.In praising the SCAVMA display, Fergusonsaid, "The members of the committee are to be complimented for this participationin an event which carried the story of pre­ventive veterinary medicine to many thou­sands of people from rural Ohio."

The Farm Science Review is sponsoredeach year by the Ohio State School of Agri­culture and Home Economics, the Coopera­tive Extension Service, the Ohio Agricul­tural Research and Development Center inWooster, and the Ohio Expositions Commis­sion. It is held on the agricultural land surrounding Don Scott Airfield in Colum­bus.

The brothers of Omega Tau Sigma wouldlike to extend a warm welcome to all in­coming freshmen. The fall rush program has been a great success, bringing in 42 pledges.

A lot of leisure-time effort was put into the facelift for the OTS house this summer. Brothers and their wives worked eveningsand weekends painting the dining room and hallways and making curtains. We in­stalled a new stove and retiled the floor in the kitchen. A new lock system was in­stalled throughout the house. Our old house next door has been removed to make wayfor a badly-needed parking lot.

All the brothers and the alumni who at­tended the Homecoming Dinner and Dance at the Imperial House West seemed to beenjoying themselves as they met new friends and chatted with old classmates.

During the past several months manyalumni and actives have been working dili­gently on our new house fund-raising drive.We are proud to announce that $20,000 has already been pledged.

The national conclave was held the last weekend in October at the Omega Tau Sigma house on the University of Illinois campus. The Gamma Chapter of Omega Tau Sigma was represented by two official delegates, as well as other brothers from our chapter.

Our meetings this year are being held the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at the house. We cordially invite any alumni in the area to come to our meetings and enjoy our many interesting programs. This fall we have heard Dr. Pi­pers speak on "The Role of Computers in Veterinary Medicine," and Captain Michael Cornwell, DVM, from Lockbourne Air Force Base, on the care and use of sentry dogs.

The brothers of Omega Tau Sigma extend a sincere invitation to all freshmen who may need help in their studies and any other problems to remember "the door to the Omega Tau Sigma House is always open."

\ \ What do I get from being a subscribing member

of the Speculum?" That's a question heard often, and rightfully so."I consider a subscription to The Speculum like a subscrip­tion to any good newspaper or magazine," one alumnus re­cently told us. And we certainly agree that The Speculum is a most tangible way of keeping informed. Perhaps trite—buttrue—to say that universities are changing faster than duringany period in history, and what better way to understand those changes than through your official Alumni publication.There's also no better way to keep up with your fast-moving College, college friends and their accomplishments. When you send a contribution to The Speculum, you auto­matically become a subscribing member and receive The Speculum publication. As a subscribing member you will have advance notice of forthcoming events within the College,new names and faces, feature articles, and progress reports. You will find yourself sharing the magazine with others. Youmay make it available in the reception room of your practice,loan it to an interested high school student or take it along on the next occasion you have to represent your profession at a luncheon or a local association meeting.We like to think that there's more to a Speculum subscrip­tion membership than just "getting." That there is much to be said for supporting and remaining involved with somethinggreat which is meaningful to you—The Ohio State UniversityCollege of Veterinary Medicine. Thousands who are subscribing members of The Speculum apparently feel that way. If you're not already included, wehope you'll join them by returning the form below.
