Emmie, Bossie, Rhino, All Play Part in Veterinarians l-lealth Career X ' A .. Color pictures, The Columbug, ZOO Veterinary medicine is more than being a dog doctor. Its demands include all facets ot the animal world from the wild animals of the zoo and forest, the grazing and experimental farm animals, to the docile home breeds. The four-year education required after the usual completion ot a baccalaureate degree la minority ot students are accepted early and others have post graduate degreesl, until the beginning ot the l97O-7l term was split into two basic sections, The freshmen and sophomores learn among other things, physiolf ogy, anatomy, bacteriology, surgery, pharmacology, and pathology. Juniors continue with advanced study of some of the aforementioned courses while seniors can take specialized education in ophthalrnology, orthopaedic surgery, and small and large animal laboratory medicine. And both upperclasses gain actual clinical experience through working with their own patients at the Veterinary Clinic and more large animal experience by traveling to state and private institutions around Ohio. Beginning in the tall of l97O, re- organization ot the academic curriculum will allow underclassmen the opportunity ot getting earlier clinical experience. Today's veterinarians must be technically men for all seasons, While some will go on to specialize in a particular area or do research, the maiority will go on to practice while long hours will include the usual diagnosis and treatment ot the well-known animal diseases, routine surgeries and accident cases to the more demanding physical cures and surgery involved in cancers, intricate eye surgery, bone- plating, intestinal resections, radiological diagnosis, and serological diagnosis ot disease to name a few. 7

Faces express the happiness, the boredom, the exhaustion of a day, a time. A wrinkled-up nose, a broad smile, floppy hair on a hot day, and one can see Tom Cliff, freshman, Brenda McClurg, Clinic secretary, Armeda Jones, iunior wife, Pete Cyrog, graduate, Sharon Steen, iunior wife, and a group of Omega Tau Sigma rushees and actives enioying, relaxing, or perturbed in a moment out of the year. Tom CIiff's 'grass scene' will never impress the academia as with most study it begins with 'have to' and ends with 'the hell with it.' Nor do they create a historical event. But as the persons with whom one shares each moment of exasperation and happiness at some time or other, 'the faces' are pretty important. . 355 ,gvmwsm , , 5545785 ..
