Physiology, taught to us in Dr. Pitkow’a Eunuchoid voice, wan another basic science course. We learned about T3 and T4, Cholestyokinin?. the Na-K pump, the “hyrogen ion and the Huaai dog. Who ever thought we would see the day Howie himself would be hypoxed and consequently 150 pounds thinner. We could never understand why he never roamed from the podium. His famous line was Gentlemen, there are 2,346 handouts in the back of the room. Remember Dr. Marbach’s physio lab where were the antivivisectionists when we needed them. Another scar on our cerebral cortex was linked to a course called Biochemistry. Dr. Scheff could do logarithms in his head. Prior to this course, some of ua thought that the Krebs cycle was a 10 speed imported bike or Ron Klein‘s oil spilling motorcycle parked on the front sidewalk. Remember drawing each others blood — for the first time, and some needing CPR. Dr. Whitney’s biomechanics are well remembered for the superb drawings a la Frank Net-ter. Those quotes from Steindler were more than ambiguous. Remember playing guess the angle? Introduction to Podiatry, split between Drs. Lyons and Shapiro — that famous vaudeville act. was an ego builder for us aspiring chirope. Dr. Shapiro informed us that man was not meant to walk upright. Remember his debates with Chuck Shuman on sociology. Did Allan Mann really have a discussion with Dr. Lyons about hair replacement or was it the Duke? And those mandatory white pants and shoes for clinic. Most of us never even wore them —except to sell ice cream and Don Kaplan's OK used cars. It’s good we discovered that first-year allied facility — Dr. Watson's Pub. Other electives afforded to first-year students were the Troc and Rirdman's Flight School, and TG1F at Jefferson's Student Union. Second year was the year of the R.D. and old tests. Names like Weiner. Zonis and Rutherford will forever bring a chuckle. And wasn't it Gurwood and Klaus who replaced the famed Jurgensen to MacDonald combination on and off the field. We figured that without anatomy, our second year would be a snap. Little did we know that fibular notes would be replaced by MacCon-key's medium and EMB plates or Sabouraud-Dextrose agar. Speaking of Micro, do you remember Ray Bock's plaid lab coat or Bill Harris adjusting the microphone for Dr. Bishara. How about the time Neil won $3,000.00 but after taxes he came away with only $1.66. And who described E. flocoasum as Piss in the snow in his mycology exam9 Remember the attempted mycology lab boycott. Micro lecture is remembered for classic lines such as Profes sional syphilis is Syphilis anywhere else except your penis or write that down and leam it thoroughly . We thought those early taped lectures during Abe's period of convalescence were hard to. follow until he returned. Gentlemen, Gentlemen, no migration!! And the only time there was no migration was when the Breast Exam film was shown by mistake. Dr. Krauex'a onychopathy course was high lighted by a complete set of slides and exciting references such as Current Chiropody, October. 1924. 21 Pathology class was marked by sedative lectures by Dr. Arden, poor attendance, and pre-
