The News-Review - November 10,
PROGRESS AT MCG
Five years of progress at the
Medical College of Georgia’s
School of Dentistry was
recognized Nov. 8.
Developments which have
led from an initial beginning of
three faculty members in a
mobile home to today’s
nationally recognized faculty
and facilities was brought
out during a day-long program
highlighted by a 10 a.m.
recognition ceremony at the
new School of Dentistry
building.
Dr. Judson C. Hickey, dean
of the School of Dentistry,
said, “We had three programs
planned during the day and
there were tours of the new
facilities. The first program was
the recognition ceremonies
at 10 a.m., the secondwasa
scientific program beginning at
1:30 p.m. and lasted most of
the afternoon and a
student-sponsored social event
that evening.”
Several hundred
representatives of dentistry in
the State and region and other
guests took part in the day’s
activities.
Keynoting the 10 a.m.
recognition ceremony was
Dr. John C. Greene, assistant
surgeon general of the U.S.
Public Health Service and Dr.
Alvin L. Morris, vice-president
of the University of Kentucky.
Dr. Harry B. O’Rear,
president of MCG, presided
Also present' was : Dr. George
Simpson, chancellor of the
University System of Georgia;
Mayor Millard Beckum of
Augusta; Dr. Gordon Watson,
executive secretary of the
American Dental Association
and Dr. Harry W. Bruce,
director, Division of
Educational and Research
Facilities, National Institute of
Health.
Initial dental school
enrollment was 24 in 1969.
This year there are 121
students and a faculty of 77
full-time and part-time
members. The first graduating
class will be the spring of 1973.
The new biologic science
facilities in the Research and
Education Building feature
individual student study and
laboratory areas and
classrooms with adjoining
clinical dental facilities to
enhance the correlation of
biologic and clinical sciences.
In the new School of
Dentistry Building, there is a
planned environment in which
the dental student maintains
his identity by learning
practice of dentistry in his own
dental office. Yet, he joins
with other dental, dental
hygiene and dental assistant
students as part of a dental
health team.
Correlation between the
basic sciences and clinical work
is further enhanced by a
faculty which includes 13
educators with doctorate
degrees in both a basic science
and in dentistry.
The curriculum is now set
up to take 12 academic
quarters, lasting 36 months. It
features treatment of patients
combined with courses in
human and oral biology
beginning in the first week and
extending throughout the
entire curriculum. The first
class entered under a four year
program.
There are opportunities for
students to take part in
summer enrichment program
study, to study and have
involvement with the
community-at-large and for the
motivated student to complete
the curriculum in 11 quarters.
The School has been active
in research, advanced
education and continuing
education. Today there are
advanced programs in oral
surgery, orthodontics and
pedodontics.

A GIBSON
GIRL
Pam Gibson is one
20-year-old girl who isn’t
interested in pushing
typewriter keys. Big boom
microphones, TV cameras and
electronic cables are another
matter.
The 5’3” green-eyed
blonde handles this equipment
at the New York City studios
of the NBC Television
Network, where she is
employed as a Studio/Field
Engineer. She is currently
working as an audio assistant
on “The Tonight Show
Starring Johnny Carson” and
in other engineering capacities
on WNBC-TV’s “News 4 New
York” telecasts on a
vacation-relief schedule.
William Flood, Manager,
Manpower Planning and
Scheduling, for NBC-TV, said:
“Pam isn’t the only girl
working in an engineering
capacity here. We have had
girls employed in this area
since World War 11. But to my
knowledge, Pam is the first girl
working as an engineer on the
floor of a TV studio.”
She recently received
nationwide attention when
Johnny Carson introduced her
to his viewers on “The Tonight
Show Starring Johnny
Carson.”
Pam, from Huntington,
Long Island, N.Y., says she
doesn’t mind being the only
female member of a TV crew.
She said: “The fellows have
been very helpful. Any time I

A TALK WITH GOD *
• By Helen Jefferson Goodwin t
• Now God you made the people all—
• The white, the black, the great and small;
J So I wish You’d explain to me
• That school is just for “whites”, You know.
•
• I asked my mama what was wrong
• But the words she used were much too long.
• God, what is meant by “separation”
• And a word called “segregation”?
• I thought and thought when she got through
• And decided I would talk with You.
• Please let the folk who built that school
• Learn something about the “Golden Rule.”
• Let them know that it was Your plan
• To dye my skin a shade of tan;
• But within I’m filled with childest joys
• And just like other girls and boys.
•
• The kinks which in my hair may be
• Don’t mar the soul that lives in me;
• And whether lips are thick or thin
• They’re mostly used to talk or grin.
• Dear Lord, please straighten out if You can
J This mess which has been made by man;
J And let me use just as I should
• The school that’s in my neighborhood.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••«
matters they are there with the
answers. And the compliments
about my work are very good
for my ego. I’m having a good
time.”

the network for more than 25
years; Bertha Melody

summer months.
Dear God, I’ve got a thing or two
So mixed I thought no One but You •
Could fix them up and make things right £
So I can sleep in peace tonight. J
You see, my mama—bless her soul—
Perhaps it’s cause she’s growing old •
Can’t reason like she used to do, •
That’s why I took this up with You. •
I’m only six years old, You see, *
And this thing has been worrying me; J
I’m telling You what it’s about J
Because I know You’ll help me out.
In my neighborhood, not far from me—
A few blocks, may be two or three-
There is a school with playgrounds wide
With trees and shrubs on every side.
I’ve tried to get my mom to see £
That this big school was built for me, •
But she says no, you cannot go. •
That school is just for “whites”, you know. •
So each day though I fuss and fuss
I have to run and catch the bus.
Some days I cannot find a seat, •
And someone stands all over my feet. £
