  • Thursday, January 9,1969 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Pace 5 Medical Technology Demands Dedication Detective. Strategistandtac- tician in the war against disease. Even life giver. These are some descriptions of the Medical Technologist, Working with the physician, it is the technologist who identifies incontrovertibly which pernicious bacteria is responsible for that raging fever; which meningococcus threatens that child's life. Then, as strategist and tactician, she or he determines which is the best weapon to use against the foe; which antibiotic most effectively inhibits the growth of the specific bacteria and hence will wipe it out most quickly. Or the new-born of mis-matched blood type whose only hope is to be immediately drained and refilled; he owes his life to the technologist's skill and detective talent. Dramatic work in which real depth of knowledge and an unfaltering accuracy are essential to victory, but, despite very best efforts, subject nonetheless to an occasional defeat: This is the real atmosphere of a medical laboratory. It lies behind the order and apparent peace of rooms marked "Bacteriology," "Histology," "Hematology," "Cytotechnolo- gy," "Isotope Lab," "Chemistry." Miss Diane Meyer, WCU «68, recently described at a meeting of guidance counselors in Ashe- vil-e how she has prepared for this work which she dubs "fascinating." Three years of college is minimum--90 semester hours of which 32 must be in chemistry and biology and three in math. Diane began at Brevard College and transferred, so it took her a summer session more to complete her college requirements for entry to the School of Medical Technology at St Joseph's Hospital, Asheville. When she entered there it was a 15-month course, now shortened to a year. She Will very soon be ready to write the examination which qualifies her as a Registered Medical Technologist. WCU will grant her a BS degree when she is registered. When she spoke to the counselors, Diane mentioned all the financial aid she received for her preparation. Brevard College helped her get assistance for freshman year, part of the local James G. K. McClure Educational and Developmental Fund in Asheville. Mr. Glen Hardesty assisted her with resources available at WCU. And finally, St. Joseph's awarded her a $1,000 scholarship for her course there. Dr. Roger W. Morrison, path- Sanford's FOOD TOGO Picnic Boxes GOLDEN BROWN Chicken & Shrimp Phene "Yc" Orders 586-4096 OPEN DAILY 114)0 A.M. OPEN SUNDAY 12 NOON Int. Mill A Mahl ologist of Asheville, directs the school at St Joseph's. Speaking recently of the field and the training, he said that the number of students admitted to each hospital school is limited. Individual instruction '■ important to assure thoroughness in preparation. It n ust serve as a base, not only ior the important routines of present medical practice- u- rinalysis, blood counts, measuring electrolytes and the procedures mentioned above—but also for growing into the exciting future: Developments in the application of isotopes, increased equipment, much more to come in genetics, in organ transplants, and the attack on some major plagues such as cancer, flu, and the common cold. He said that employment opportunities are unlimited. Most N.C. hospitals have one or more job openings. Diane and her classmate, Mrs. Pamela Lam- precht of Liberal, Kansas, whose BS will be awarded from Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas, have accepted employment after graduation at St Joseph's Hospital, Asheville. There a Registered Medical Technologist (M.T., A.S.C.P.) with a BS degree starts at $625 per month. Miss Linda L. (Cindy) Sumner of Sylva, after three years at WCU enrolled in the School of Medical Technology at St Joseph's Hospital in September, 1968. MISS DIANE MEYER, HOURSE SHOE, N.C, MISS LINDA LOU (Cindy) Sumner, Sylva, N.C, both WCU students, and Mrs. Pamela Lambrecht, Liberal, Kansas, Kansas State University, pause for a moment in their senior year studies for Medical Tehcnology at St Joseph's Hospital, Asheville. No clowns. No hoopla. No funny hats. This is an event for the serious car buyer. The man who has X number of dollars to spend and is determined to get his money's worth and maybe more. Come to a Chevrolet Showroom during our Value Showdown. Ask the man to show you, on paper, how you can order most any 1969 Chevrolet with a big V8 and automatic transmission for less than you could last year. Come in and spend some time. Dig, probe, ask questions, take notes. You owe it to yourself to be thorough. Go for a drive. Get a free sample of Chevrolet's luxurious full-coil, cushioned ride. Shut the windows and see how fresh the interior stays, thanks to Astro Ventilation. Feel the kick of the biggest standard V8 in our field. Then go down the street or across town and see how we stack up against Those Other Cars. We think you'll wind up with a Chevy. More people do, you know. Putting you first, keeps us first. The Chevrolet Value Showdown is on.
