The medical field is constantly
and rapidly changing, a Nobel
prize-winning physician told 29
graduates of the Texas A&M
College of Medicine Saturday.

and I are in the same profession
on the basis of what we learned
in med school,” said Dr. Freder
ick C. Robbins, president of the
Institute of Medicine of the Na
tional Academy of Sciences.
This is the second class to gra
duate from the Texas A&M Col
lege of Medicine. Last year’s
charter class had 32 members.
Robbins said the current
lifestyle of many people has
caused accidents, cardiovascular
diseases and cancer to replace
infectious diseases as the main
causes of disability today. Risk
factors such as smoking, alcohol,
obesity and lack of exercise con
tribute to the disability of most
Americans, he said.
“We now have to move from
doing something for, or to, peo
ple to helping them do for them
selves,” he said. “We have to
turn them to a better lifestyle
that is more compatible to
health.”
The honor graduates of the
class were Randall James Urban
and Joseph Gregory White. The
two attained higher than a 3.5
grade point average.
Urban was also given the
Helen Salyer Anderson Award
for academic excellence.
The new physicians will take
the Federal Licensing Examina
tion in Austin later this month,
Dr. Robert S. Stone, dean of the
College of Medicine, said.
Upon completion, each will
begin a three- to five-year re
sidency at one of 17 hospitals
across the country.

DALLAS — The appeal of sci
ence fiction and fantasy shows
no sign of waning. And anyone
who is part “fan” but mostly
“fanatic” will be in heaven this
Thursday through Sunday.
Larry Lankford, 21, who
attended his first science fiction
convention at 11 and staged his
first at 16, said this weekend’s
Fantasy Fair will rival in size any
thing held in New York or Los
Angeles.
Lankford said the most visible
aspect of the fair will be the deal
ers’ room, featuring massive col
lections for sale or trade of old
comics, movie posters and stills,
photographs, autographs, and
videotapes among other things.
But more important to him
are the seminars, panel discus
sions and other events involving
the 40 or so well-known guests.
“There will be interaction
with the audience, questions and
answers,” he said.
Even better from the audi
ence-participation point of view
will be the “stump the experts
pie fight,” a trivia contest in
I September
4§$r" MCAT
which, Lankford says, “if you
stump (an expert) you get to hit
him in the face with a pie.”
Trivia contests are also plan
ned around old television series,
including a “Gilligan’s Island”
contest to be conducted from a
life raft in the middle of a swim
ming pool.
A bad film festival, featuring
horrible movies, will begin at
midnight Saturday.
Good movies have their place,
too. Lankford plans to show ab
out 15, including “King Kong,”
a “Flash Gordon” serial, “Car
rie,” “Halloween” and “The Day
the Earth Stood Still.”
Lankford said he also plans to
show excerpts from some of the
summer’s big sci-fi movies such
as “Blade Runner,” “ET” and
“Tron.”
In addition, there will be a
Saturday night banquet, a cos
tume contest and an auction be
nefiting the American Cantt rQ I
Society. IV/A
