The full scholarships, to be administered by the Medical Center Committee on Financial Aid, are awarded "on the basis of academic excellence and financial need." The Auxiliary specified that the grants must be given to entering freshmen and are renewable annually. In a letter to the Auxiliary, Vice President Dr. William G. Aniyan said, "Scholarship assistance in health education is probably our most crucial area of need. We are most grateful to the Auxiliary for choosing this area to support." Mrs. Aline Mobley, financial aid coordinator, said that the two students have already been selected and notified of their Auxiliary scholarships. "With the increasing size of Duke's medical class, we have a greater number of students requesting aid," she explained. "The Auxiliary has helped us solve part of the problem." The Auxiliary, with about 200 members, earns money through its Pink Smock Gift Shop, two snack bars, and the roving Shop Cart. All profits from Auxiliary services are given back to the Medical Center in the form of special projects like the new medical scholarships. The Auxiliary began its support of health education in the mid-1960's with the establishment of a partial scholarship in the Duke School of Nursing. In 1970, that scholarship was increased to pay all tuition and fees and was named for Miss Lelia Clark, professor of nursing service administration. Or. J. Gof/emore Takes New Post In Med Education Dr. Johnnie L. Gallemore, Jr., recently named an ass i stant professor of psychiatry, this month became associate director for undergraduate medical education at Duke. Dr. Gallemore replaces Dr. E. Croft Long who left the Medical Center last September to take a two-year appointment with the U.S. Agency for International Development in Guatemala. Dr. William D. Bradford, associate professor of pathology, has been acting director since Dr. Long left. As associate director, Dr. Gallemore will deal with a variety of medical student al^fairs, including both social and academic obligations and curriculum. He will counsel students and be available for advice on curriculum planning, in addition to serving in an advisory capacity to the Davison Society, Duke's medical student government. Dr. Gallemore has also been appointed director of Duke's M.D.—J.D. program in which a student can earn his M.D. and a law degree at the same time. Dr. Gallemore, 31, received his B.A. and M.D. degrees from Emory University in Atlanta. He served his internship and residency at Duke and in 1968 was chief resident in psychiatry here. He became an associate in the department in 1969 and was named assistant professor earlier this year. Leaving Duke?
