The junior year for the class of 1970 is divided into three month rotations in medi- cine, pediatrics, surgery, and an incredible kaleidoscopic mish-mash of happenings known as ushortsw. Each of the rotations has its own character and general mood. Of course this was different for different groups of students, but in a general sort of way this Hmoodw was experienced by all. The medicine rotation, more than any other, gives the NNI-3', the opportunity to learn how a complete history and physical examination, Cincluding rectal, of coursej, can be completed within one hour. This 'one hour, is then followed by a two hour session of writing all the information gained down in the manner prescribed by Those On High, with negatives ad nauseam as well as positive findings, and then a ridiculously complete differential diagnosis from the most probable to the 100-to-1 shot and let us not forget that by the following morning a complete blood count and urinalysis must be performed, with results entered on the Robert Dewirltel' Barry Dewitt E NEIICIIE .

Y. 1 james Curran Paul Dekker Jw e PRESSIQ S of the UNIQR YE R The junior year is a year of action, the beginning of a life-long involvement in the real purpose of medicine-the care of your fellow men. For some 90921 ofjuniors, this year helped mold their ideas in selecting their field of medicine. Preparation for thejunior year begins in the second semester of the sophomore year with the choosing of the rotation with which the student wishes to start the year. Some rotations are oversubscribed, so the class then selects a method to fill the vacancies . Some classes use the ancient method of lot- tery, others the newer innovation, The Computer, but regardless, all methods leave their dissatisfied students. Despite the order of rotation, juniors must currently take all the same subjects-so in the long run, it usually doesn't matter. junior rotations in 1969 were in their last year of the present form. Curriculum reform proceeds relentlessly, and the juniors of 1969-70 will have different memories of their third year of medical school. Whether these will be better, worse, or simply differ- ent, only the passage oftime will reveal. A .XJ gvtjggvx Q. - W 'en ww is vis' was . ,few file? 3 V i .
