2 Dental Seniors Get Trainee Posts
By FRANCES MUELLER
Two seniors in the School of Dentistry are involved this summer in a cancer training program at Los Angeles County— U.S.C. Medical Center.
The eight-week program- which began July 1 is supported by the United States Public Health Service and is directed by Dr. Albert M. Abrams, chairman of Dept, of Pathology and the Dental School. During the eight weeks the participants will rotate through the different services in the hospital that deal with diagnosis and treatment of many forms of cancer.
The students who were selected for this opportunity are Jim Bartlett and Herb Binder. The top 20 percent of the senior class in the dental school was offered an opportunity to apply for the cancer training program. These students were also chosen on the basis of academic and clinical achievement.
While at the hospital Bartlett and Binder will attend the Dermatology clinic, the Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic, Autopsy and Head and Neck surgery. They will observe radiation therapy and

chemo-therapy sessions, and they will also attend the new Tumor Clinic and tumor board.
The program consists mainly of observation in these different areas of the hospital by the students. They are able to participate by taking histories and doing work-ups on the patients.
“The program is helping to build a good rapport between the medical and dental profession,” Binder said. He also noted that the dental students study some of the same diseases that medical students do, but they usually don’t see patients with these diseases. This program has offered him a chance to see some of the things he has studied about in the past.
“So far the program has been a great learning experience especially in so far as we are able to work with patients. It has also been a good chance for me to do a lot of reviewing,” he said.
After completing dental school Bartlett plans to go into a postgraduate program in a basic science. He hopes to combine his knowledge of science with dentistry and apply it with new techniques in dentistry.
Binder is interested in oral surgery, perhaps in relation to oral cancer. If dentistry does not have enough opportunity for treating oral cancer he may be led into the field of medicine.
Bartlett and Binder are receiving a stipend while participating in the cancer training program. Although other juniors and seniors must attend school during the summer Bartlett and Binder are doing no work at the Dental School during their fellowship.
Troy Gets A New Pair Of Neighborhood Friends
By KARIN SALISBURY
USC is acquiring a new neighbor — Hebrew Union University, and a set of new neighbors—to reside in University Gardens, a $2.4 million project recently approved by the City Community Redevelopment Agency in connection with the Hoover Redevelopment Project.'
The land for the two projects was sold Wednesday, but actual building will not begin for another year. Before then final building plans must be approved
by the CRA, and the financial arrangements of the housing project must be cleared by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in Washington.
The land for Hebrew Union College is on 32nd St. between Hoover Boulevard, and University Avenue. A $343,549 transaction was made for 2.8 acres procured for the development of the two-story, 30,000 square-foot facility. When completed there will be classrooms, a student lounge, faculty and administrative of-
Prof’s Book Calls Teacher "an Actor'
“A Teacher Is Many Things,” Dr. Earl V. Pullias, professor of higher education, and Dr. James Douglas Young, head of the drama department at California State College at Fullerton, say in a new book by that title.
The professors, who were colleagues a few years ago at Pep-pardine College, had their book published by the Indiana University Press of Bloomington, Ind., and London.
A teacher, the coauthors say, is “a guide, a modernizer, a model, searcher, counselor, creator, an authority, an inspirer of vision, a doer of routine, breaker of camp, storyteller, an actor, scene designer, builder of community, learner, facer of reality, an emancipator, evaluator, conserver, culminator, a person.”
The authors restate the basic fact that teaching is the world’s most exciting, challenging and rewarding profession — a fact all too frequently obscured by the severe demands Placed on the teacher.
Dr. Paul J. Avery, superintendent of schools at Winnetka, 111., a USC alumnus, wrote the foreword, and Dr. Glenn C. Gooder, president of Los Angeles City College, wrote the introduction.
Dr. Pullias is immediate past president of the Los Angeles County Board of Education and a former member of the Commission on Higher Education of the California Teachers Association.
He is a graduate of Cumberland University, the University of Chicago and Duke University.
Dr. Young is a graduate of Pepperdine College and USC.
fices, a library, conference rooms and a chapel-auditorium.
President Topping and Dr. Glueck, the president of Hebrew Union College, announced that this move calls for “a mutual exchange of academic credits, use of joint facilities and faculty supervision of students involved in the jointly-sponsored program.”
The land for University Gardens lies near Jefferson Blvd. and Vermont Ave. When the development has been completed, units ranging from $107 monthly for one-bedroom apartments to $138 monthly for three bedroom apartments will be for sale. Twenty-five percent of the 15 apartment houses will be open to families with low income. This is in connection with the leased housing program of the city housing authority.
The development was undertaken bv the First Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles, the American Jewish Committee (Los Angeles Chapter), the University United Methodist Church of Los Angeles, and the Greater University Parish of Los Angeles. These parishes make up the Hoover interfaith Housing Group. Z. Wayne Griffin, CRA Chairman, praised the Hoover transactions. “They are truly representative of the accelerated pace of urban renewal in Los Angeles,” he said.
The Hebrew Union College is the world’s oldest existing school of higher Jewish Learning. The 92-year-old school has joint institutions in New York. Cincinnati and Jerusalem.
