mistic over the comint; season
as any he has coached at Mer
cer. And thal's saying a lot.
In the last 28 years when he
ha-, coached golf off and on at
the Jiaptist college, he hasn't
ha I a losiirg season. Five of his
to; :ns were undefeated
the interest this year is the
greatest of any I've, seen since
I’ve been coaching and the ri
valry for positions is keen,' 1
Vance said
The squad will be led by
seniors Andy Auitman of Perry
and Daviu Guy of Hogansville
who were top performers in
the l!h)9 team which finished

ucon. Marvin Harvey of New
Smyrna lteach, Fla., Randy
Howe of Columbus, Paul
McCloskey. of Tampa, Bob
Bonner of Conway, S. C„

Fla., Walter Gibson of Bartow,
Fla., and sophomore James
Risher of Savannah
“We had to go with a four-
man squad last year because
there weren’t enough boys out
for the team but this year we’ll
be abR to field a six-man
team.”
The coach proudly tells how
the team members have been
practicing on their own since
September “We held our first
trial and all but two of the
eight who tried out shot under
80. This is very encouraging.”

District 25 Tournament at
Bowden.
Mercer has three winning
• earns so far this spring, with
the Bears baseball, tennis and
golf teams showing only six
losses among them.
The Bears baseball team has
shown the way, streaking to
eight straight wins before their
first defeat, then winning two
more before suffering their
second loss — both at the
hands of Georgia Southwestern
College.
“We have been playing good
team ball," said coach Claude
Smith, who’s starting his 26th
year as head coach. “We had a
couple of bad days against
Southwestern, both games
being played on Monday and
our hitting was far from good.”
“We’ve hit real good all
year,” assistant coach Donnie
Veal said, “and when one guy
isn’t hitting, another steps in
and gets the job done.” The
Bears, • who have two come
from behind victories in their
ten wins, had one of their bet
ter hitting days against Geor
gia State in Atlanta last week
as they rapped out 18 hits in a
12-1 win. The baseball team
will be on the road for the next
two weeks and the next home
game is scheduled for May 5.
The tennis team has been
very impressive this year, sport
ing a 5-2 record and losing only
to Auburn and Carson New
man. The Bears have been play
ing a more representative sche
dule this season and their re
cord speaks for itself. Mercer
placed second in the Carson
Newman quadrangle meet in
Tennessee last week.
Charlie Bowens has been
playing in the number one spot
for the Bears and has been
playing excellent tennis. Mit
chell Schwaber is the Bears
number two player, with
George Wyche, Steve Cotter,
Tim Anderson and Gene Arm
strong following in order.
The big surprise for coach
Bill Peek so far has been the
doubles play of Armstrong and
Wyche, although they are the
number three doubles team.
The combination has been
playing so well that they may
become Mercer’s first undefeat
ed doubles combination.
The Bears tennis team has
won over Georgia State twice,
and beat Shorter College,
David Lipscomb and Berea Col
lege.
In golf, Andy Aultmann is
leading the way as coach Zeb
Vance chargers have won three
and loss two Aultmann is
shooting 78 at the present, and
hasn’t shot 80 once this season.
However, Aultmann hasn’t out
distanced the rest of the Bears,
as three other players are also
shooting in the 7()’s. Martin
Harvey, Paul McCloskey and
Steve Rowe are all pushing
Aultmann for the top spot.
“WE’ev been looking real
good,” said Vance, “they’ve
been working real hard and
we’ll have a successful season
whether we win or lose. These
boys like it and they are really
enjoying the game.”
Mercer will host the NAIA
district tourney here on May
21-15.
Intramural softball got un
der way last Tuesday with
Sigma Nu, MIMA, Third Even
and SAE getting wins.
Coffee House last week featured Steve Barron who played mostly original songs.

Pharmacy ;
Starts New
Program
Mercer University’s
Southern School of Pharmacy
and Georgia Baptist Hospital
have begun a new program to
acquaint pharmacy students
with other health services.
Senior pharmacy students
will attend laboratory sessions
in the emergency room. Inten
sive and cardiac care units,
operating rooms, postmortem
and recovery rooms, surgical
floors, medical floors,
orthopedic floors, and pedia
tric floors. Each of the eight
laboratory sessions will last
three hours.
Dr. Katherine Graham,
professor of pharmacy at the
pharmacy school, said the ob
jective of the program is to ac
quaint students with the activi
ties and problems of other
health team members. Specific
diseases will be demonstrated
along with their trentments,
drugs administered and re
sponses to therapy. Dr.
Graham will direct the program
with the assistance of Mrs.
William Grasse, a registered
nurse.
Pharmacy students will be
acquainted with medical termi
nology and hospital abbrevia
tions, function of hospital
supplies and equipment.
Dr. Oliver M. Littlejohn,
dean of the pharmacy school,
said the program will assist
students by orienting them to
functions of other members of
the health team, “The
pharmacist of the future will
become a more integral part of
the health profession team. He
will be trained not only in the
rudiments of compounding and
dispensing, but also to provide
pharmaceutical services. We are
grateful to Georgia Baptist
Hospital for their cooperation
in this program.”
Edwin B. Peel,
administrator of .Georgia
Baptist Hospital, said, “The
participation with the South
ern School of Pharmacy of
Mercer University is another
phase of our expanding Interest
in the health careers.”
Robert Zwald, assistant
administrator of the hospital
and coordinator of the pro
gram, said that proved teaching
techniques can be used effec
tively for many specialties of
health careers. “In our current
situation, it is felt that the
student nurse can benefit from
the pharmacological and toxi
cological knowledge of the stu
dent pharmacist and the rtu-
dent pharmacist can benefit
from the student nurse's know
ledge of medical terminology
diseases and procedures of drug
administration."
