Program Starts From cratch Continued from page 16 present time they are focusing on magne- sium's role as protection against heart disease, childhood earaches, the effect of alcohol of fetal development, and region- al family disease patterns. At the present time, the medical school is in the process of receiving Ph.D. au- thorization in the fields of anatomy, bio- chemistry, microbiology, physiology and pharmacology. The development process for new Ph.D. programs was instituted in 1975 and will reach fruition with its first candidates for degrees in August of 1979. These programs will be the first such studies to be initiated in the state of North Carolina since 1971 and the first Ph.D. program for ECU. By the summer of 1981, the East Caro- lina University School of Medicine will occupy a nine story Medical Science Building, adjacent to Pitt County Memori- al Hospital, which will house all of the Medical School's departments, clinics, labs and classrooms. At that time, the enrollment in the school's medical educa- tion program will have risen to 200 future physicians. 18 f Med School

20fNewsline The year 1978 was a traumatic and historic time for the Catholic Church. The church suffered the loss of two Popes, and broke a 450-year-old tradition by electing a non-Italian to succeed them. The aged Pope Paul VI died August 6 after a 15- year reign that saw the most profound changes that the church had experienced in centuries. Paul al- lowed many changes that enabled the church to sur- vive the tumultuous moral and social upheaval taking place in the world, and embarked on a reapproach- ment with other faiths. The church was international- ized as many non-Italian cardinals were appointed. In later years, his hope and courage dwindled away, but his compassion never died. His death, at age 80, was mourned by millions of people throughout the world. The conclave that met to choose Pau1's successor was the largest and most diverse in history. Yet it took only one day to choose the Archbishop of Ven- ice, Cardinal Albino Luciani, as Paul's successor. Lu- ciani honored his two immediate predecessors by taking the name John Paul I. John Paul brought a fresh, new feeling to the church, and a smile that made everyone feel that his would be a revitalizing reign over a faith that was suffering a worldwide decline. But before he had a chance to prove himself, this smiling man who had captured the world suffered a massive stroke which took his life. His brief, 33-day pontificate had suffused the church with warmth and hope. Once again, the shocked and saddened College of Cardinals met to choose a successor. The conclave lasted longer than the previous one and its result surprised the world even more than the election of Luciani, who was not even mentioned as a successor to Paul. The two-day conclave chose the youngest Pope in 132 years, and the first non-Italian in 456 years, Polish Cardinal Karol Wojtyla, who took the name John Paul II. It is clear that the college wanted a younger man whose health would enable him to tolerate the demands of the papacy. ln John Paul II, the college got this, plus the extraordinary qualities of leadership and experience. The Cardinals reasoned that, coming from a Communist state, John Paul may well be the best qualified man to lead the church out of the worldwide crises that have threatened its very existence. John Paul ll has proved to be as popular as his predecessor, and during a visit to Latin America in January, he was greated with tremendous ovation by millions of people who love and respect this pastoral, fatherly man.
