EDlTOR'S NOTE On this, the eve of our final deadline, I find myself a little sad, because this annual is not what we had hoped. We started with several tremendous ideas about how our annual should be-but faced with realities we have had to drop them. Some have been retained and I would like to proudly point them out. This is one of the few annuals published jointly with another schoolg the education and philosophy of the schools are different so we chose to dram- atize this with the double covers. We felt that we had more Ithan one faculty member to honor because of their con- tributions to our education so we instituted The Gray Matter Cites , to point out six others besides Tim Pennell who are worthy of special note. The organization of this ook is not around a theme other than the development f our class into physicians-this book is really just for emory's sake. Another new thing is the opinion pages where we have tried to gather some thoughts about this -'nedical school from its students. Today's medical student reflects the trend of the na- ion's students to be involved in this society and not to be solated into medicine alone. John Kloss and John Gregg ave pioneered involvement in our local schools. Others ave gone overseas. We would have loved to print short ssays about the draft, financing medical school, and efforts f students to help guide their own education but few were illing to contribute and I did not feel that I could accu- ately represent this class. What of the future of the annual at this institution? , for one, do not advocate a continuation of the present ituation. We, the annual staff have invested many hectic ours in this the last of the thankless jobs . There are ours which should have been spent studying-but once e accepted this task we had to see it through. I wish to hank Ray and Hoyle for their dedicated efforts. l propose hat following yearbooks be short, with all photos of stu- ents and faculty members submitted free of charge to he annual staff, and with exclusion of the various para- edical personnel and graduate students unless their groups ubmit their pictures so that the editor can edit rather than rite the annual and so that medical students will not have o take countless Cgo ahead, try to count every picture in his book that we had to takell pictures. As mentioned in he ad section the medical school pays one-fifth the cost of e annual and expects the medical students to scrounge p the remainder by selling ads and make enough profit 8005 to pay the quarter's tuition for the editor and one usiness manager. Such ci philosophy is not in the best terests of the students who attend this fine school. I ention this in hopes that should the annual continue at is institution, future editors will have better, clearly de- ned, conditions in which they can create a book for their lass. The annual is worthy of being continued here. l'm a photographer and would-be poet who has enjoyed e photographic and creative aspects of this ordeal but ouIdn't do it again for anything. I think we can be proud at we have created something unique. PEACE! Dan Broadhead I4 March 1969

. -4. W, l, ili ii W l l M I 55 To Robert W. Prichard, our own special Flying Fickle Finger of Fate award because he represented to us those reactionary forces who persisted in involving many hours of our limited time in what we considered basically uneducational laboratory procedures. This award is given in hopes that he will amend his ways! Stay tuned for our next week's show when the award will go to the Student Publications Committee for requiring e J'.'cational senior papers. 79
