Bob Kraff expresses a minority viewpoint: It was only a class meeting which raised several questions not only concerning Public Health presentations, but also the proper perspective of clinical information presented during the pre-clinical two years. Most every student appreciates the relevant and compre- hensive clinical correlations presented in the new curriculum. Nevertheless, the hallmark of a Michi- gan graduate in the past was his superior under- standing of fundamental concepts--an understand- ing build upon the finest pre-clinical curriculum found anywhere in the country. Some of us, myself included, wish to be assured that such a basic founda- tion will not be jeopardized by presentation of exces- sive and premature clinical material. It is essential for optimal improvement of our medical education that the constructive and activist spirit of the Class of 1971 continue. The class attends fand criticizesl lectures in record number and shows the responsibility and initiative to do more than just what is required. The impromptu class meeting with its near perfect attendance and non-stop attention attests to the class, willingness to try to effect needed changes. The more than 60 members of the class who have signed up to visit the medical facilities at the Ford Rouge Plant in their spare time indicate more strongly than words can that the class is concerned. As inflammation is a healthy man's response to infection, so also is the response of dissatisfaction to faults in the medical school curriculum a good prog- nostic sign. Today's medical student is an optimistic therapist who realizes that more than symptomatic relief is indicated, and who is willing to alter the course of the disease or the disease of the coursew as the case maybe. fcontinued on page 1185 Genetics N., -2 f '- s fi.

ONTCGENY of the SPECIES HOMO DOCTORUM lstyearstudent. . . open found wandering about mumbling peculiar sounds known as minutiae He has a well-formed prehensile grip adapted admirably well to holding objects known as test tubes. Living primarily in the jun- gles, he nevertheless frequently loses his way amongst the trees fand even the leaveslj of the open-visited Forest of Knowledge. His skin and clothes reek continuously of formaldehyde-phenol. Zndyearstudent. . . has evolved so that he is now a cavedweller, holing up in these caverns known as clini- cal microcopsyl' and 'path lab. The marked kyphosis is an adaptive posture, resulting from looking through black cylin- ders. Known to contract .several dozen imaginary diseases while studying them, his memory cells have undergone near-maximal proliferation and he has already experienced a dramatic decrease in creativity. 3rdyearstudent . . . has become a gregarious animal, as evi- denced by his wandering about in very large caverns flmown as wards'Q within groups of haljidozen of similar species. Notice his characteristic attitude: running. If asked the whereabouts of his destination, he will in- variably not know. The object in his right hand is a specially collected specimen of liquid excrement, upon which he will reli- giously pedorm certain magical operations, measurements, and observations. Curiously, it is said that such activities are done for his own health! 4th year student . . . Notice the bored expression on his face. His mind is a blank because he has a complete reactive amnesia for the past three years. His ability to give the correct reply to a question which has two possible answers has risen above the proverbial 5096, how does he do it? By silently reasoning out the logical answer and then voicing the opposite alternative! The intern. . . is said by many experts to be close to extinc- tion. His arduous, lengthy workdays are such that he is frequently disoriented to time and place. Notice the clouded eyes rom endemic fatigue. Object in left hand is a peculiar device that periodically emits a beeping noise which is a conditioned stzmu lus to pick up a telephone f f a -by 'lim Burton Reproduced from The Paeon l Gerald Tomory - sq- rJ 7-, james Torzewski Wayne Trinklein l Ophthalmology FIRST ROW-Gary Sandall, Richard Gutow, Daniel Green, Morton Cox, john Henderson QChairmanD, Harold Falls, Reimer Wolter, Frode Maaseidvaag, Bruce Cohan, SECOND ROW- james Barnett, Roger Meyer, John Mertus, james Kiess, Gregory Heyner, Roswell Pfister, Keith Burnes, Terry Bergstrom, THIRD ROW-William Hawks, Mark Cohen, Alfred Newton, Ken- neth Musson, Bartley Frueh, Charles Smith, Claytus Davis, Frankjohnson.
