Exciting to eyes, not ears
Milsap concert a medley
by Cathy Saathoff
Battalion Staff
The only bad thing about
seeing Ronnie Milsap in concert
is that he has so many hits he
combines them all into a medley.
Just as he gets to your favorite
song, he switches to another.
Milsap entertained a less-
than-full house with his songs

Leon Everette, ot
the
opening
concert with hits like “Hurri
cane” and “Midnight Rodeo,”
was one of the better opening
acts Aggies have seen recently.
Milsap’s first song, “What a
Difference You’ve Made in My
Life,” was greeted with an ova-

tion. The audience was quick to
get on its feet throughout the
show, but didn’t have much life
once it was there.
A medley included a lot of his
hits, but not really enough. He
spent more time singing other
people’s songs than his own, it
seemed.
He sang Eagles’ songs and
Rolling Stones’ songs and Poin
ter Sisters’ songs, accompanied
by a trio of tinkerbells who had
obviously spent hours practicing
snapping, swaying and head-
tilting in unison.
Milsap has a wide repertoire,
ranging from a Beethoven piece
to “Jumpin’Jack Flash” to a gos
pel song, “Jesus is Your Ticket to
Heaven.”
And of course, there were the
obligatory blind jokes, some old
and some new. He still trusts his
band only as far as he cjin see
them, but that’s okay, because
they let him drive the bus some
times. At night.
For someone who just went to
the concert because there was a
concert, it was entertaining.
But for people who went to
hear Milsap, it was a disappoint
ment.
Still, everyone kept an eye on
him. There’s probably a ques
tion in the back of the audience’s
mind: will this be the time he
really does fall off the stage?
Sorry folks, not this time.

Entry competition stiffens
at A&M medical school
by Theresa Scott
Battalion Reporter
Competition for admission to
the Texas A&M University Col
lege of Medicine is stiffer for the
Class of ’86 than it was for the
Class of ’81. The requirements
are the same, but the number of
applicants has increased consid
erably.
The medical school opened
in 1977. Applications for admis
sion are up from 140 the first
vear to 930 this fall. Only 32 will
he admitted.
“One of the reasons for the
increase in numbers each year is
because of our small class size,”
said Dr. William E. Ward, associ
ate dean for student affairs in
the College of Medicine. “Be
cause of small class size, students

are better able to cope with the
academic stress.
“This is a good support sys
tem within itself. Students and
teachers are better able to work
closely together.”
Ward said that applicants for
medical school need not be
biomedical science or chemistry
majors.
“There is no strong feeling as
to what a student should major
in as an undergraduate,” he
said. “Just about any major is
acceptable.”
Fishery science, engineering
and English majors are present
ly enrolled.
However, undergraduates
must take certain courses to
qualify for admission. Those
courses include inorganic and
organic chemistry, biology, phy
sics, calculus and English.
All 930 applicants must sub
mit an official transcript from
each university attended. Appli
cants must also furnish their
scores from the Medical College
Admissions Test.
Students are then invited to
come for an interview with the
15-member Committee on
Admissions. Six members are fa
culty at the College Station cam
pus, six are faculty at the Tem
ple campus and three are stu
dents elected by their class
mates.
Interviews are conducted
twice a month from August until
June.
“In evaluating applicants,tkl
committee relies heavily onl
grade averages, MCAT scores i
letters of recommendation, p
sonal interviews and physiol
and emotional health,” r
said. The selection committtf
also gets a feel for the applicants
motivation and personality, tf
said.
The committee does not!)
make the final decision or;
admission but recommendsstu
dents for acceptance to thf
dean.
The interview itself has 11
“built-in security system” fortlit
students, Ward said. The stu
dents must go through three
separate interviews with the
people serving on the admit
sions committee. Students who
don’t do well in one intervie*
may still be highly recora- ^
mended on the basis oftheothei
two interviews.
The filing deadline for
admission in September 19t>-
was Nov. 1.
After acceptance, the first
two years in residence are spent
on the College Station campus
studying basic science and doing
classroom work.
The third and fourth years
are clinical programs, mostlym
Temple at the Scott and White
Clinic and Hospital and at the
Olin E. Teague Veteran’s Cen
ter. These years consist main'
of traditional clerkships, as we
as experience with ambulance
care and other electives.
