MCG DEAN HONORED BY
BLACK STUDENTS
Dr. Christopher C. Fordham,
former Dean of the School of
Medicine at the Medical
College of Georgia was recently
awarded by the Student
National Medical Association
and the Office of Minority
Student Affairs, a plaque
commemorating two years of
outstanding service to the
Medical College. Although Dr.
Fordham’s resignation was a
response to the call of his alma
mater, the University of North
Carolina, his departure from
the Medical College evokes a
sense of loss of one who has
striven stalwartly to epitomize
the School of Medicine at MCG
as a pioneer in the areas of
Minority Student Affairs and
Curriculum Development.
Now that Dr. Fordham has
officially departed this
institution, it must be realized
that the outlook for continued
success and prosperity of MCG
is only as good as the efforts
are to uphold the high
standards of human rights and
education for which Dr.
Fordham stood.
In the absence of the
S.N.M.A. president, Mr.
Tommy Leonard, a third year
medical student, Mr. Joe
Hobbs, President, Black
Student Medical Alliance, MCG
presented the plaque.
FOUR BLACKS GET LOOK
AT DENTISTRY
Four entering freshmen for
the School of Dentistry at
MCG have joined other
students in a summer program
for dental students at the
Medical College of Georgia.
The program funded by the
federal government and
conducted by the Medical
College of Georgia’s School of
Dentistry will give these
students an opportunity to see
what dentistry is all about; and
in the case of students who
have been accepted for the fall
but who have been out of
school for a few years, it will
be a chance for them to get
back into the “groove of
things”. The program director
is Dr. Donald Bowers,
Chairman of Pedodonics at
MCG. Working with Dr.
Bowers is one of the Medical
College’s second year Black
dental students, Mr. James
Orrington. Participants are
Isaac Hadley, Robert Simmons,
George A. Williams, and
Harrison Williams. Georgia
presently has less than 40
Black dentists of which 2/3 are
located in the Atlanta area.
“Creating a stimulating
patient care atmosphere for
our nursing staff is my primary
goal,” stated Mrs. Betty M.
Golden, the Medical College of
Georgia teaching hospital’s new
assistant administrator • and
director of nursing.
“My primary interest is
patient care,” the MCG School
of Nursing alumna said. “In
order to utilize all of the beds
now available and care for an
increasing number of Georgia
citizens, it is going to be
necessary to attract nurses
from across the Southeast to
our teaching hospital.”
The new Director, who
comes to Talmadge Hospital
from the position of assistant
director for Nursing Services,
Gracewood State School and
Hospital, said, “Augusta has as
many total hospital beds as
Atlanta, but only a fraction of
the population; this means that
we’ve got to sell Augusta as a
Medical Center and reach
outside this immediate area
and attract professionals to our
hospital.”
Mrs. Golden received her BS
degree in Nursing from MCG in
1961 and her MSN degree in
Nursing Administration from

Rep. Ronald V. Dellunis, (D. Calif.) 7th

She pointed out that she
feels a loyalty toward the
School of Nursing and plans to
work closely with the School,
as well as with all levels of the
nursing staff, administration,
housestaff and medical faculty.
Even though Mrs. Golden
worked as a nurse at the MCG
Hospital from 1961-65, she
says, “Things have certainly
changed, with kidney
transplants, maximum care and
intensive care units, and open
heart surgery an average of
three times a week.”
The 32 year-old Nursing
Director expects to work
closely with the In-Service
Education programs so that
nursing service personnel can
advance up the career ladder.
“For example, by providing
training for our LPNs and
nursing assistants, we are able
to give them positions of
greater responsibility. With our
training programs we are
continually putting nursing
personnel into the
community.”
Mrs. Golden is a member of
the American Nurses’

she is treasurer of the 10th

She is married to Jamie

~' The third Babcock & Wilcox
nuclear vessel destined for
Duke Power’s Oconee, S.C.
nuclear power station is
expected to dock in North
Augusta late today or early
tomorrow.
This will be the last of the
series of vessels. Following this
trip all of the now-familiar
by-passes between North
Augusta and Clark Hill will be
demolished. The overland
carrier, one of the country’s
largest vehicles, will be sent to
another part of the country.
When the vessel left B&W’s
Mt. Vernon, Ind. plant on July
15 it was estimated the trip
would take until about August
15.
Some time was added
because the barge had to go
around the Florida Keys
instead of through the barge
canal because of low water. A
combination of good weather
and little lay-over time will get
the barge to North Augusta a
week or 10 days ahead of
schedule.
The nuclear vessel will be
placed in Duke’s number three
unit. When it goes on line the
Oconee nuclear station will be
one of the largest in the world.
In one way or another the
travel of the first two vessels
captured the imagination, and
at times, the sympathy, of
CSRA residents.
The first trip was one of
frustration, with something
breaking everytime the vehicle
started rolling. Sometimes it
MEDHIC Reveals
Survey Finding
Georgia’s State MEDHIC
Coordinator. James L. McLeod,
did the sort of questionaire all
good MEDHIC people dream
of: despairing, at least
temporarily, of placing his job
candidates in hospital
situations, he canvassed all the
general practicioners in Georgia
- 692 of them- to learn what
kind of assistance they’d like
to have, and who they would
hire to g~t it.
Mr. McLeod received about
a one-third response to his
queries, and in many cases the
physicians volunteered
additional information. His
material will be used in the
planning of the Medical College
of Georgia in the preparation
of a Physician’s Assistant
program at the school.
Os the 230 replies to Mr.
McLeod’s questions, about half
were rural practitioners; the
rest were evenly divided
between urban and suburban.
Two-thirds (64%) said they
would consider a corpsman
with at least two years
experience in the military
medical service qualified to
work in their offices.
In envisioning the areas
where the corpsmen would be
useful, more than half
mentioned minor surgery and
histories/physicals, nearly half
listed emergencies, and
one-quarter looked for help
with house calls.
Interestingly, 59% said they
already had someone in their
offices performing the
functions a corpsman might
carry out; most indicated a
registered nurse, some a lab
technician.
The doctors’ volunteer
comments were most
illuminating: Legal Liability is
an area of my greatest concern
... Very useful in rural solo
practice ... Very valuable in
mills and factories ... Medics
could serve better in hospitals
... I presently feel negative
about delegating very much,
but as time passes I may
change my mind, like I did
about long hair When my
beloved son grew it.
was the vehicle; at other times
it was the road. In the middle
of the trip Augusta suffered
three consecutive
record-setting cold days.
Everything was fine on the
second trip. Everything went
well until the vessel reached
Little River on Clark Hill
Reservoir. The water was at its
lowest mark since it filled over
20 years ago. The vessel sat
helpless on this side for days
waiting for rain and a rise in
the water level.
“The men moving the vessel
may be in shock seeing
sunshine and normal water at
Clark Hill,” says John T.
Anderson, B&W’s manager of
public relations. “Perhaps all of
the weather, the roads and the
equipment will let this last
vessel make a dignified and
trouble- free visit through
North Augusta.”
