O’Rear, who will leave that office to devote full-time to his position as Vice Chancellor-Health Affairs of the University System of Georgia.

Bollet, professor and chairman, Department of Medicine; Dr. Judson C. Hickey, dean, School of Dentistry; Dr. E.J. McCranie, professor and chairman, Department of Psychiatry; Dr. Sam A.

Schmidt, Cedartown, president of the Medical College of Georgia Alumni Association; Dr. Milford Hatcher, Macon; Dr. W.C. Mitchell, Smyrna, president of the Medical Association of Georgia; and Dr. Wesley Ball, Savannah. 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 | ANDERSONBAR I lOKa 1441 12th ST.

Nuclear Vessel Docks In Augusta N. Augs the MCG School of Graduate Studies in 1969. 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’ Association, Georgia State Nurses’ Association of which she is treasurer of the 10th district, the Georgia Public Health Association and the National Association for Retarded Children. She is married to Jamie Golden, an engineer with the State Highway Department, and is the mother of two children. Required Immediatly LADIES TO BE TRAINED IN IBM KEYPUNCH.

Call 724-0249 ~' 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.” Park EastjSiiC CQ7 CA ’Total Electric Central Air ’Carpet „ A ’Appliances • 2 Bedrooms ’I 1 /: Baths Per Month EAST BOUNDARY It's a whole new ball game!
