'The Citizenry and the Hospital’ 9th National Forum Begins Today at Duke Some 140 hospital administrators and health care professionals from across the nation are at Duke today to consider the logic and practicality of “citizen participation" in the affairs of hospitals and other community service agencies.

The theme, "The Citizenry and the Hospital," was prompted by a movement born in the 1960's to give a voice to the previously voiceless, the consumer. The movement has led to legislation which has placed consumers or "community representatives" in control of many governmental agencies and advisory boards. Although most hospitals have not been legally compelled to provide such citizen participation, they have been confronted with moral, economic and community pressures to do so.

NUMBER 20 MAY 18, 1973 DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA Over 200 Students Receive Degrees in Medicine, Nursing and Health Fields Sixty-nine physicians, 91 nurses, 21 health administrators, 12 physical therapists and 12 physician's associates, all newly recognized in their professions, emerged from Cameron Indoor Stadium last Sunday afternoon climaxing the equivalent of over 700 years of training in medicine, nursing and allied health fields. It was the university's 121st Commencement ceremony. Vernon E. Jordan Jr., executive director of the National Urban League, delivered the Commencement address and received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree in recognition of his civil right- work and dedication to higher education. On Saturday, May 12, the Hippocratic Oath ceremony for graduates in medicine was held in the Duke Chapel. Dr. Thomas D. Kinney, director of medical and allied health education, was speaker at the event. A recognition ceremony for the new nurses was also held in the chapel on Saturday. Dr. Lois Pounds, assistant professor of pediatrics and assistant professor of nursing, spoke before the group. Three of the new physicians received both their M.D. and Ph.D. degrees Sunday after completion of Duke's medical scientist program begun in the mid-1960's. They are William L. High of Boone, N.C., and Salvatore V. Pizzo and Martin L. Schwartz of Philadelphia, Pa. This year's graduation marked the first time the Bachelor of Health Science degree was awarded to graduates of the medical center's Physician's Associate Program. Printed below are lists of June graduates of the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing and degree programs offered by the departments of Health Administration, Physical Therapy and Community Health Sciences. Included with the list of new M.D.'s are their positions for next year. Medicine Bruce Africa, rotating intern: psychiatry. Highland General Hospital, Oakland, Calif. Burt J.

Andrew Wechsler, resident in surgery, pretends to check Dr. Shirley K. Osterhout's catecholamine level at left while Dr. Donald Hackel, professor of pathology, takes her blood pressure. Such emergency measures were deemed necessary by the physicans as Dr. Osterhout attempted to recover from her surprise at having been selected by medical students as one of this year's recipients of the Golden Apple award for excellence in teaching. Dr. Wechsler and Dr. Hackel were likewise honored for their abilities as teachers in the School of Medicine. See story on page 3.
