GOLDWATER, M.D. Professor of Occupational Medicine COOPERATION among nations in the control of communicable diseases is an obvious necessity which grows in importance with each new advance in methods of transportation. The elaborate sys- tems which have been developed internationally to control the spread of living agents of disease are well known, and their effectiveness has been proved over and over again. When it comes to nonliving agents, such as chemicals -and physical forces, the reasons for international cooperation are not so clear nor does the motivation for inter- national action appear to be quite so strong. Con- tamination of the earth's atmosphere with radio- active materials is, perhaps, an exception. When we move outside the realm of chemical and physical agents of disease into the larger spheres of occupational health, such as medical care for workers, workmen's compensation, sick- ness insurance, housing for workers, nutrition, vocational rehabilitation, and the like, the rea- sons for international efforts become quite nebu- lous. If, however, we accept an International Labor Organization declaration that Poverty anywhere constitutes a danger to prosperity everywhere, the One World concept in occupational health takes on significant meaning, since good occupa- tional health leads to good industrial production and this, in turn, to prosperity. The International Labor Organization CILOJ was created in 1919 under the Treaty of Versailles and functioned as the only important interna- tional group concerned with occupational health until 1950. The interest of ILO has been limited to health hazards directly related to conditions of work. In 1950 the World Health Organization CWHOJ established a section on Social and Occupational Health, the activities of which reflect the broader interests of WHO. Faculty members of our School have played active roles in the work both of ILO and WHO in occupational health. One example of this is the designation of the Division of Occupational Health as a WHO Reference Laboratory. GOOD NUTRITION AS IT RELATES TO HEALTH AND THE OTHER DISCIPLINES by W. H. SEBRELL, JR., M.D. R. R. Williams Professor of Public Health Nutrition GOOD NUTRITION is the foundation of good health. Without it good health is impossible. Mal- nutrition today constitutes the world's greatest health problem, especially as it affects pre-school children in developing countries. Protein calorie malnutrition and the frequently associated xerophthalmia from Vitamin A deficiency directly or indirectly accounts for a large proportion of the exceedingly high mortality in this age group. It is infrequently mentioned in vital statistics either because it is not recognized or because the death is related to parasites or infectious dis- eases such as measles or dysentery, when actually death would not have occurred had the child been well nourished. It is now well established that there is a synergetic effect between infection and 16 malnutrition. Infection through its added stress on the organism precipitates serious and acute malnutrition. This malnutrition results in the death of the child who would have survived had it been well nourished. The fact that in some countries the population is increasing at a rate greater than the food supply makes an improvement in the present un- satisfactory situation more urgent and more dif- ficult. However, the growing recognition of the public health importance of the problem, the training of nutrition experts and growth of nu- trition activities in health departments, including the introduction of new food mixtures and better use of the current food supply, augurs well for the future. It is obvious that there can be no stable world peace until everyone has an opportunity to obtain the basic nutrients necessary for health and development. ...- LQF , - A - ' ,, .,..

They sympathize with us when we cry the blues, and they rejoice with us when we are riding high. They help us in ways too numerous to mention. Were it in our power we would arrange for all of them to be decorated for action above and beyond the call of duty. -52 -JY 'nr mx' 1. l to r.

These behind- the-scenes people are of utmost importance if things are to proceed smoothly. As the stagehands are vital to a Broadway play, so is our Building Staff vital to this Health Department build- ing in which CUSPHAM is housed. Pictured in the top photo, from left to right, front row -Jessie Frierson, Otto Muellner and Nellie Jonesg back row-Mario Rivera, William Sheehan, John Green and Frank Ortega. In the smooth performance of their jobs they make it pos- sible for us to pursue our studies. Students come and students go but the Build- ing Staff goes on forever. ' Equally as important in their own realm of activi- ties are Julia Osborn, bot- tom left photog and Samuel Cohen, bottom right photo. As couriers or connecting links between the various divisions they foster coor- dination and prevent fragmentation at CUS- PHAM.

I wonder how you know. 'That's easy, he replied, you see, your head is hanging low. And what is more, the furrows in your brow are mighty deep. I know there have been many nights when you have had no sleep. You're haggard and you're ragged, . your clothing is a mess. To put it very simply, you're suffering, more or less. Your fingernails are all chewed up, your left eye has a tic. Your face is gray and ashen, you're looking mighty sick. Good sir, I asked, Who are you? Do tell, me I imploref' At which he weakly smiled and said, I'm Jones of '34. Charmaine Fitzig THE CILIATED FLAGELLA The time has come, Professor said, To look at Bugs and Rings, The microscopes are all set up With lots of gorgeous things. You students are all experts now. You've seen these things before. A minute is the time you have To check the things you saw. Read the historyg Peek in the scope, Write down what you see, And MOVE-you Dope! Gracie Edwards. MY GLIMPSE OF AMERICA I see America, the brave New World: A feat of Enterprise, a feast of Prosperity! This is blooming youth, in blithe spirit, Bearing the mighty torch of Liberty! Engineers are erecting endless skyscrapers, Artists portraying outer limits of space, Teachers conducting seminars on science, Students testing divers hypotheses! Centers are busy in radiating health, Councils alert on no-war pacts, Machines marching to Mars and Moon, Maybe tomorrow Man will dwell aloft! Poetry may miss some parts of the spectrum, Philosophy ignore the basal emotion, Love overlook the richness of culture, But, I am aware, the picture is glorious! The People's belief in humanity is promising, Economy's enlivening role is elating, Democracy's magnetic debut is thrilling, May America's energy keep on prevailing! V. Y. Sastry ANTE BIO 202 Uust before the Biostatics exam a student was overheard muttering the following! iAy, misero de mi! iAy, infelice! Apurar, cielos, pretendo, ya que me tratais asi, que delito cometi contra vosotros naciendog aunque si naci, ya entiendo que delito he cometido. Bastante causa ha tenido vuestra justicia y rigor, pues el delito mayor del hombre es haber nacido. Solo quisiera saber, para apurar mis desvelos, Qdejando a una parte, cielos, el delito del nacerl que mas os pude ofender, para castigarme mas. LNo nacieron los demas? pues si los demas nacieron, Lque privilegios tuvieron que yo no goce jamas? I Excerpt from La Vida Es Sueio, by Pedro Calderon de la Barca!

Assistant Professor of Epidemiology IT IS EXACTLY 30 years since the first student from a non-English speaking country, Dr. Her- nan C. Romero from Chile was graduated from this School. The second was Dr. Gregorio N. Her- nandez from Peru, Class of '43-'44, At this time, the presence of a Spanish-speaking student, stim- ulated some of us to attend classes in Spanish in order to be able to communicate with him in his own language. His English improved, as time went on, probably as the result of his correcting our Spanish. It was not practical to repeat this admirable exchange in language skills, since, as the years passed, representatives from so many non-English speaking countries joined our student body, that, had We continued, we would have had a multilingual faculty with no time for public health. At the last count, it appears that we have already had a hand in the training of approxi- mately 250 health workers from 60 foreign coun- tries. In spite of language differences, the pres- ence of individuals from all parts of the world has enriched our teaching program and added to the knowledge of both faculty and student body. What better way can there be to learn about world health problems than to work and study with representatives of so many diverse geographic areas, languages, religions and cultures? A num- ber of our native or indigenous students became interested in international health, often as a result of their contact with the foreign sudents, and have subsequently spent some time in foreign service. I use the word indigenous, since I soon learned that the word American does not refer only to citizens of the United States, but to those of all the Americas. STUDENTS FROM 60 COUNTRIES 22 The greetings and letters from our foreign alumni which pour in from all parts of the world during the Christmas season, are indicative of the impact which their sojourn in the United States, specfically at this School, has made upon them. They recall with nostalgia, the days spent in classes and study, the hours of anxiety over examinations and the relaxation at student parties. Our traveling professors report warm welcomes and bring personal regards, new stu- dents bring regards from alumni, and delegates to international meetings held in the United States often make certain that their itinerary includes at least one day in New York City for a visit to CUSPHAM, their alma mater. One thing emerges very clearly from our contact with these individuals: health problems are uni- versal and disease knows no boundaries-geo- graphic, cultural or social. The control of disease is based on shared knowledge and experience. We sincerely hope that we are contributing to under- standing through health. Gloria S.

L---..---------.-.-----------.---------.--------I FIELD TRIPS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE FOLLOWING the demise of the third quarter of o'ur program, most of us became happy wanderers, upsetting the routines of four city and suburban health departments. For some of us the experience was traumatic-for example, a seasoned New Yorker got lost in Grand Cen- tral trying to get a ticket to White Plains and ended up in a health department in Connecti- cutg and a well known student arrived in the basement on the first day of the field trip Che was due in Rockland Countyj and wondered where everybody was! For others it was an eye-opener. We learned among other things- that a-second-hand out-house is for rent in afiiuent Westchester County! But all in all, the freld trip experience gave us an idea of what goes on out in the field, and gave our pro- fessors a much needed respite from us. At this point we feel that it is a safe assump- tion that the personnel at Westchester, Rock- land, Washington Heights, and Riverside, all of whom showed the greatest hospitality and patience, breathed a sigh of relief when the thundering herd returned to the sanctuary of it's ivory tower -the basement auditorium.

This little comedy, writ- ten by Dave Harris, Gracie Edwards, and Harold Cohen, was ably directed by Dave. The all-star cast included Carol Bruner, Harold Cohen, Gracie Edwards, Dave Egee, Charmaine Fitzig, Pat Guinan, Dave Harris, William Lane, and Ron Lester. Amid the guifaws of a warmly receptive audience the talented troupers spoofed such scholarly topics as, abnormal , H 3 X -NA interest in statistical curves, the tendency of instructors to assign lengthy papers, and inability to obtain soap in the Men's Room.

HOW TO SURVIVE AT C'U'SPI-IAIVI or A Sound Mind InA Sound Body EVER MINDFUL of the importance of leading well rounded lives, the members of the class of 1965 have attempted to balance out intellectual pursuits with non-intellectual activities. Recog- nizing the special talents of the faculty to exer- cise our minds, we took it upon ourselves to de- velop a daily regimen for exercising our bodies To keep leg muscles in tone, frequent trips to the corner luncheonette for containers of coffee were prescribed at the rate of two per day. Use of the stairs in preference to the elevator was strongly recommended when making these trips. Eye-hand coordination was honed to a razor-sharp edge by aiming at the elevator buttons. Arm muscles, as well as eye-hand coordination, were developed through frequent opening and closing of windows. It was recommended that this be done at least once every half hour, but immediately at the sight of the first nodding head. Because any regimen can become monotonous by virtue of constant repetition, we introduced occasional change of pace activities to perk up interest in our 'fitness program. Some of these were the Thanksgiving and Christmas parties at which considerable elbow bending and tripping the light fantastic took place. And that select group, the year book sales staff, had its own spe- cial exercise-arm twisting. Since this program was instituted on an experi- mental basis, and the pressure of our studies has prevented our evaluating it, we would like to sug- gest that some competent member of next year's class do this for his Epidemiology 202 study design. Madeline M. Hurster AN' EVALUA-TION ! AFTER MUCH deliberation I have come to the following conclusion that the course under con- sideration is merely a collection of words ending in 'tion' or 'sion'. A student attends a short orientation session prior to admission then consultation with the ad- visor followed by registration before the onset of the actual session. As an introduction to Biostatistics, he learns summarization of measurements, estimation of standard deviation, cumulative distribution, sam- pling variation and correlation which all produce confusion at the time of the examination. Under the heading of sociological foundations, he learns historical evolution Kof public healthj, goal succession, social interaction, decision-mak- ing, two step-flow of communication and many equations Crelated to economicsy which aid in physical and mental relaxation. Public health administration brings into con- sideration the economic justification of the public health program, various health organizations, compensation, tenure and promotion in personnel administration, public relation and legal con- sideration. ' In Epidemiology he has to remember, antigen- antibody reaction, agent-host and environmental relations, various levels of prevention, and epi- demiological investigation. He gets insight into various emotional prob- lems, techniques of interview conduction and inter- pretation of various phenomena which often pro- duce a barrier to communication. Environmental and swimming pool sanitation, mice eradication, ionization, fusion and fission, dead space determination, various routes of toxin absorption and detoxification, control of air pol- lution are no less important considerations. Problem-solving, question and answer sessions, group discussions, oral presentations and many reading recommendations are also brought into operation. There is more expectation for further addition of 'tion' and 'sion' in future academic sessions. The final pass-fail determination and gradation have a significant relation to facial expression, with a variation within i one standard deviation. A. K. Sen -15 C THE S PARTY THE ANNUAL Christmas Party was a spirited affair as gluttons quickly de- voured the supply of canapesg adherents of the WCTU quaffed cranberry juice while hardier members of the class downed stronger beverages: uninhibited spastics danced the hully-gully into the wee morning hoursg and extroverts from many lands cavorted in a care-free man- ner in the CUSPHAM basement ball- room. Preparations for this Public Health bacchanal were ably handled by members of the Student Council. These devoted class members cheerfully expended the time and energy required to arrange deco- rations and order supplies, with no thought of recompense, although later, during the party, one observer noted that their glasses neyer seemed to be empty. Absent from the revels pictured here were those students unable to tear them- selves away from Dr. Thomas' paper and others who wanted to get an early start on Dr. Hilleboe's Technical Program Plan. A good time was had by all, even by those who were able to walk away. Roving Reporter Student stringing decorations for party.

REGIONALI ZATION OF HOSPITALS AND INTEGRATION OF CURATIVE AND PREVENTIVE SERVICES IN CI-IILE, S.A. by CLEJIEXT C. CLAY, M.D. .-lssoiiziffi Professor of ,-1dI7li7Ll'Sf7'GffL'? Medicine llirecfor, Grad. Prograzn, Hospital Arlnzirzisfratirm ALTHOUGH we talk much about regionalization of hospitals and the integration of curative and preventive services in the United States, we have done little in that direction. As a World Health Organization Fellow, it was my privilege to visit Chile in the summer of 1964 and to see such a pro- gram fully developed. For administrative purposes under the National Health Service, Chile is divided into thirteen Zones. ln each Zone, there are a number of Areas. Area Poniente is one of those in Zone V lSan- tiagoi. It has urban and rural sections with a total population of 550,000 There are two urban gen- eral hospitals, San Juan de Dios and Felix Bulnes, three rural hospitals, eight consultorios lhealth centersi attached to San Juan de Dios, and one consultorio and four postas medicas in the rural section. Each consultorio in the City serves 17,000 to 74,000 people. Each provides all of the services necessary to keep patients out of the hospitals as far as possible. Routine laboratory and x-ray work are done in the consultorios. More complex procedures are done at the Base Hospital, San Juan de Dios, and the more serious, complicated cases are referred there from the consultorios or rural hospitals for diagnosis and treatment. The Director of San Juan de Dios is also Di- rector of Area Poniente and, so, has responsibility for all of the hospitals, consultorios, and postas medicas and for the curative and preventive serv- ices. His staff includes physicians, nurses, social workers, health educators, sanitarians, etc. The chief of each clinical service in the Base Hospital must plan the whole program tcurative and pre- ventivel for his service in Area Poniente. He must visit the rural hospitals and consultorios periodi- cally to supervise the activities there. Likewise. clinical specialists and sanitarians from the Base Hospital go regularly to the peripheral institu- tions. The Director of Nursing in the Base Hos- pital has all of the nurses under her direction. Due to poor living conditions in the slums in Santiago, typhoid fever 13,000 cases in 1963r, diphtheria 1902 of children would have to be im- munized for effective controli, and measles thigh mortality rate among two and three year olds in spite of active immunization program J, as well as infant diarrhea, are serious health problems. Un- til the environmental sanitation and nutrition of the slum dwellers are improved, the Director of San Juan de Dios Hospital and of Area Poniente faces a situation with which few hospital admin- istrators in the United States would care to cope. 49 xsl x 'fi' X x A WLS L - ' I' ' if - 4 xx fm 23 smwln' M A 331 7 , f x 'if' ' ,.

HILLEBOE, M.D., DeLama.r Professor of Public Health Practice IN JUNE you will begin anew your activities in public health practice. Your graduate school year will have armed you with many new concepts and skills. But, if, in your job as a health worker, you apply only the knowledge and techniques you have recently learned-and no more-by 1970, you will have become merely a technician performing by rote, things learned five years before. So, when you return to the field, begin at once to set up a schedule for acquiring additional knowledge and skills. Maintain it as long as you practice your profession and you will equip your- self to keep pace with public health in a changing world. The blinding pace of scientific discovery demands that you either move forward or fall far behind. You carn't stand still. Your community will judge you by the brand of public health you practice. People these days are not easily fooled about healthg they learn too much about it from television, radio and magazines. Therefore, they will be interested in your newly acquired learning and anxious to discover what you can do with it. Make every personal contact an opportunity for communicating facts about health. But, don't limit yourself solely to the tech- nical aspects of your job. In addition, be a partici- pating citizen of the community where you live and work. To get real enjoyment out of being a health worker-spend your time keeping people from getting sick. Preventing occurrence of disease and environmental hazards is the real challenge of modern public health practice. Consequently, your value as a public health worker will be measured largely by your ability to practice prevention rather than treating symptoms in health work. But, while you are busy bettering the health of your fellowmen, don't forget to enjoy your own life to its fullest. Make every day count. Sharpen your mind and refresh your spirit by letting your curiosity' and imagination dip into whatever suits your fancy - sports, the arts, reading or maybe even creative writing. Make public health practice a way of life, not just a way of making a living. Live your life-all of it. il
