Coed participation in building Bonfire is running high.
Corky Houchard, president of the YMCA reports, “so far we have
170 coeds signed up to work on the coffee and cookie truck.” There
will be two trucks running in the cutting and stacking areas, instead of
just one truck as earlier reported. After a meeting with Food Services
all food orders have been placed, with “28,000 cookies”, coffee, and
sandwiches Coeds working with the “Y” Association will also
be responsible for distribution of sandwiches. On Nov. 15 the team
captains will contact their team members for last minute instructions.
Friday November 17, “Y” members will begin working in the stacking
area and Sunday morning, Nov. 19, will begin traveling to the cutting
area. To be admitted to the stacking area one must have a pass. This is
for safety measures Also the security positions will be on an
individual basis. Any coed who does not plan to work on the coffee and
cookie trucks or in first-aid station are welcomed to visit with students
working in the security post. This will be an unorganized operation and
left up to the individuals. Another first-aid test will be given on
Thursday night, Nov. 9. According to Loyd Gibbs, “about 42 students”
have already passed the examination, but there are time slots still open
for others that pass the test. For more information contact Gibbs at
845-3272 or Colleen Bourland through the “Y” office at
845-1626 School will be officially dismissed on Monday, Nov.
20, for students to participate in Bonfire activities. How about all coeds
getting out and pulling our share. This is one year that we can really
prove that we too have that “Burning Desire” Shortly after
Thanksgiving we hope to run a feature on inexpensive gift ideas for
Christmas. This would include items that could easily be made in the
dorm. If anyone has ideas that they would like to share, please drop
them by the Student Publications Office second floor of the Services
building (where you pick up the Aggieland)
Pre-Med Coeds Face Obstacles
THE
Wednesday, November 8, 1972
BATTALION
College Station, Texas
Page 5
By KAREN BANKS
A girl who intends to apply to
medical school faces several ob
stacles in the path which leads
her to eventually becoming a
physician, but investigation shows
that the situation is not as bleak
as many people would have her
believe.
First, she must overcome the
same obstacles that all medical
school applicants must face. These
include keeping high grades (the
average grade point ratio is about
3.6 for those accepted into medi
cal school), becoming involved
in extracurricular activities to
demonstrate leadership qualities,
and getting some practical experi
ence in science and medicine.
All of these things place de
mands on the time of a pre-med
student. There is also the task of
making a good impression on all
professors and thereby insuring
good recommendations and eval
uations.
One difficulty encountered in
this area is that pre-med stu
dents often feel there is no one
on the faculty that they may dis
cuss any doubts or problems about
their choice of careers. If a pre-
med student admits to question
ing his future plans, it could re
sult in a poor evaluation of his
“dedication.”
Fellowship Applications Offered By AAUW
The deadline for application for
1973-1974 American Association
of University Women Fellowships
must be in Washington, D.C. by
Dec. 1, 1972, according to Mrs.
Elizabeth Vastano, fellowship
chairman of the local branch of
AAUW.
There will be sixty dissertation
fellowships awarded as well as
several awards for post-doctoral
research. The awards will be for
12 months beginning July 1, 1973,
with stipends ranging from $2600
to $5000.
To be eligible for them an ap
plicant must have completed all
course work and examinations

EROTIC EMPTINESS AND
THE LOVE OF GOD
Dr. Merold Westphal, Yale University
Assembly Room, MSC, Wed., Nov. 8,—7:30 p. m.
Sponsored by Faculty-Staff Christian Fellowship
The public is invited to attend
except the defense of the doctoral
dissertation by March 1, 1973,
but not later than June 1, 1973.
The AAUW awards fellowships
are given to women of the United
States who show distinction or
promise of distinction in their
fields of scholarly work. Great
importance is attached to the sig
nificance of the project on which
the applicant wishes to work, its
probable significance as a contrib
ution to knowledge, and the ap
plicant's qualifications to pursue
it.
There are also 50 International
Fellowships available for gradu
ate study or advanced research at
approved institutions in the U.S.
The fellowships are awarded to
women of outstanding ability who
are citizens of countries other
than the U.S. and who may be
expected to give effective service
and constructive leadership upon
return to their home countries.
A&M currently has one AAUW
International Fellow on campus.
She is Dr. Charmain O’Connor
from New Zealand and is a visit
ing professor in the Chemistry
department.
Funds for the Fellowships Pro
gram of the American Association
of University Women are volun
tarily raised and contributed by
the members. The Bryan-College
Station branch raises money for
fellowships through the annual
marionette show and by individ
ual contributions.
Women in the community in
terested in applying for the
awards ai’e urged to contact Vas
tano at 846-4629 for additional
information and application
blanks.

BATTALION CLASSIFIED
Medical schools are concerned
about the number of people who
drop out after one or two years
so that all of their training and
the money spent on them is wast
ed. For this reason, the schools
want only extremely dedicated
students.
The problems facing women
are greater in this area than
those of men, because many medi
cal schools are afraid women will
only practice medicine for a few
years and then retire to get mar
ried or raise a family. Some feel
this might be a waste of time,
money and valuable experience
that could have belonged to some
one else.
Female pre-med students also
encounter skepticism from many
people who do not believe they
are as capable of being a good
physician as a man, or who think
women should be secretaries or
mothers.
Despite these problems, the fu
ture looks much better for women
in medicine than it might seem.
AAUW To Host
Icelandic Speaker
The Bryan-College Station
branch of the American Associa
tion of Univesrity Women will
meet Monday at 7:45 p.m. in the
Faith United Church of Christ,
2402 S. College Avenue in Bryan.
Kristan Thorsteinsson, an
AAUW Fellow from Iceland will
be the guest speaker. Slides of
her homeland will be shown to
supplement her presentation.
Thorsteinsson was born in Rey
kjavik, Iceland. She received her
bachelor’s Degree in mathematics
and physics in 1971 from the En
gineering and Science School of
the University of Iceland. She
taught at the Junior College in
Reykjavik during 1970-1971. At
present Thorsteinsson is working
on her M.S. in mathematics at the
University of Houston while her
husband is a resident at Baylor
Medical College.
Members of the B-CS branch
of the AAUW have long consid
ered fellowships an integral part
of their program and are particu
larly pleased to have an AAUW
Fellow visit them.
Mrs. Kathleen Kenefick, presi
dent of the local branch, wishes
to invite all interested persons to
the Monday meeting. Information
regarding membership in AAUW
may be obtained by contacting
Kenefick or the membership
chairman, Mrs. W. Kennedy Up
ham at 846-6748.
OPA Elects
New Officers
Delta Chapter of Omega Phi
Alpha has elected officers for the
spring of 1973.
Stuart Stewart, past president
of OPA announced the new offi
cers. They are: Martha Burgoon,
president; Delores Bell, first vice
president; Carla Carroll, second
vice president; Leah Davis
pledgemaster; Brenda Brannen,
secretary; Carolyn Biegert, treas
urer; and Debbie Brannen, na
tional representative.
The new officers will be for
mally initiated at a luncheon at a
later date.
According to an investigation
made by the Association of Amer
ican Medical Colleges, women ap
plicants were turned down in
about the same proportions as
men, although they did have
slightly better qualifications in
some cases because only excep
tional females applied.
Meet a new friend
with an old problem.
Woodsy Owl is the friend. He’s the new national symbol for a
clean environment. The old problem is pollution. Woodsy’s con
cerned about pollution and the quality of our environment. Each
year, every man, woman and child in the United States throws
away about one ton of paper, cans and garbage. Woodsy gives a
hoot, he’d like us to make useful things from this waste. First, if
you use aluminum cans, save them and return them to proper re
cycling centers... that goes for glass containers too. It can cost
almost as much as the original drink to clean up the litter. Work
out ways to recycle your old papers too. It costs more to dispose
of a large city Sunday paper than it costs to buy it. The problem’s
a big one. But it can be solved, if we all do our part.
Give a hoot!
Don’t pollute.
Join Woodsy. Give a hoot. Don’t pollute.
Work out ways to make wastes useful.
