Better pharmacy and prescrip-
tion services for patients in small-
er hospitals is the 'goal of the
pharmacy college researchers in-
vestigating pharmaceutical serv-
ices in Michigan hospitals of less
than 100 beds.
The study was made possible
through a state legislative grant.
Because of the survey's complexity
and definite worth, this grant was
extended into the second year. A
preliminary study including the
data gathered thus far will be re-
leased in the December issue of
the American Professional Phar-
macist.
The purpose of the study is to
'"accorhplish something tangible
to imirove pharmaceutical serv-
ices in small hospitals, especially'
those which at this time do not
employ a professional pharma-
cist" according to Prof. Alex Ber-
man, of the pharmacy college,
who is directing the survey.
that a professional pharmacist,
"In many small h o s p i t al s,
nurses and members of the medi-
cal staff are performing the func-
tions of a pharmacist. We feel'
even in a small hospital, by super-
vising, the purchasing, dispensing,
labeling and other elements: be-
sides the actual compounding,
could save the hospitals a consid-
erable amount of money.
.A full-time pharmacist would
also release the nursing and medi-
cal staff enabling them to spend
all their time in their specialized
fields."
'uThe survey last year was mainly,
quantitative, gathering data om
that general theories . could be
formulated which this year will,
be tested in actual "workshop"
conditions
For example; Given: A hospi-
tal of 50 beds. Would a profession-
al pharmacist on a full or part
time' basis be economical? or
would' it be better to make an ar-
rangement with a local retail
pharmacist?
Besides the comparative analy-
sis, panel discussions will be held
including both pharmacists and
hospital administrators. Another
objective is to compile a procedur-
al manual for the community
pharmacist in order to help him
in his approach and organization.'

Henry K. Townes, University
entomology research associate,
said efforts to entic.e students into
biological sciences without "laying
the cards on the table" would be
injurious to them.
Biological fields iack profession-.
al prestige and public support as
compared to engineering and oth-
er physical sciences, Townes indi-
cated. However, he added that the
Russian threat might improve the
situation.
Townes suggested that proposals
of glamorizing the field have been
made, and that to carry these out
would be a disservice to prospec-
tive students.
Many Interested
"There are more people inter-
ested' in biological studies than
there are salaries to support
them," he explained.
"Therefore," he continued, "I
don't think we should entice im-
mature students into the biologi-
cal sciences without laying the

demonstration of his techniques
at 1:15 p.m. today in the main

Examples of his work will also

Kaneshige's specialty is Bizen
ware, an ancient style of pottery
using unglazed earthen ware fired
at great temperatures. Due to a
high iron content, the finished
pieces are reddish-brown in color.
In recognition of his talents, the
government of Japan has regis-

"At the same time. if a student

cilities. In many cases, where the
villagers are particularly enthusi-
astic, they have constructed their
own schools from local materials.
Collins said that from 1951 to
1956, the number of students in
primary schools has trebled.
- He continued with statistics,
noting, "About three hundred fif-
ty thousand children attend pri-
mary schools for five or six years,
where they are taught the vernac-
ular, some English, and basic 'tool
subjects.' e'
Number Pared
By the college level this num-
ber is pared to less than one per
cent3' He added that enthusiasms
vary from comnunity to commu-
nity. The rivalry is high between
neighboring villages as to who
will have the better. school, and
this crieates the familiar problem
of duplication. Adjacent schools
are built with ludicrous results-
"Education is directed toward
an Africanization of public life.
This is the ultimate goal of the
government," Collins said, adding
that many of the administrative
and professional positions are still'
held by foreigners. "This is espe-
cially true in the areas of technol-
ogy.
Teaching Encouraged
Teaching is encouraged by the
government and the teacher is one

He explained, compared to the
social sciences, technical training
is de-emphasized. This is a result
of the long British tutelage, when
all technology was in British
hands. A new technical college
has been started, with an all Brit-
ish faculty. Commenting further,

ricultural potential, science and
technology must be popularized."
The writing of the intelligentsia
is mostly of a political nature. The
future direction of the govern-
ment is the essential issue. This
includes such problems as what to
draw on from East and West, and
how to reconcile new influences
with the pattern of age-old tribal
traditions. Collins added, the is-
sues resulting. from political in-
dependence have caught fire
among the increasingly numerous
educated class.
"Education is faced with a tre-
mendous task. Many individuals
are willing to literally starve to
get an education, even if they
have to travel to London.
Forsake Education
Yet paradoxically,. these same
people will often return from an
English education and forsake all
to resume their old tribal patterns.
They will disappear from the out-
side world of foreign influence and
sink into the security of their
tribe. The problem is transition
from old to new, as in any homo-
geneous and traditional *society.
"Alongside the modern new uni-
versity exist primitive customs
which are, to us, murderous and
barbaric," he said.
He concluded that education,
from the primary, level, is the key
to "Africanization", adding that
there is danger in the creation of
an intellectual elite under the
present system.
