Richard Stone spoke to the
student body about the significance
1 the presidential election in as-
®6ttibly Tuesday, November 11. Dr.
tone stated that 60,000,000 voters
Ufiied out to the polls, representing
tio largest number of voters in any
Past^ electiom General Eisenhower
received a popular vote of over
lOOOjOOO votes. Stevenson, how-
received as many votes as the
i^te President Roosevelt did when
® swept the country. There is only
difference of six or seven million
®tes between General Eisenhower
Governor Stevenson.
..The southeastern states cast only
^dghtly less than half their total
ttiber of popular votes for Gen-
j Eisenhower. “Ike” carried
*'*rr southern states, whereas Ste
pson carried nine.
T>r. Stone stated that the people
ted for the man and not for the
^rty, as indicated by many Re-
^^tolicaii defeats in Congress. How-
j the Republicans have a ma-
fjty of three or four in the House
d one in the Senate.
North Carolina gave Stevenson

Medical Technician
Outlines Vocation
Miss Dorothy McGhee, a medical
technologist at Rex Hospital, spoke
to the student body about medical
technology as a profession in as
sembly Thursday, November 13. The
field is not crowded as there are
only two hundred registered tech
nologists in North Carolina. Medi
cal technologists are trained per
sonnel who carry out such labora
tory jjroeedures as analyzing body
fluids and examining diseased tis
sues. A person must be mentally
honest, like laboratory work, and be
attentive to details to be a good
technologist. The requirements are
a college education, including sub
jects as biology and chemistry, and
study at an approved school for
medical technologists. Technolo
gists may work in hospital labora
tories, clinics, doctors’ offices, re
search laboratories, and biological
houses. The work is especially
varied in hosi^ital laboratories
which include departments for
chemistry, bacteriology, hematology,
and histology. The hours average
about a forty-hour week in this vi
cinity with salaries beginning at
$200 a month plus three meals a
day and laundry service. Medical
technology offers a field in which
there is opportunity for advance
ment under the merit system. A
medical technologist, however, is
liable for call at anytime and must
work under pressure.
