which seems most correct.
Matching.—First match the
items you know for certain. This
will make it easier for you to de
cide which of the remaining
choices go together.
Completion.—Unless you will
be penalized for wrong answers,
fill in all blanks logically, even
if you’re not sure what the teach
er expects.
Short answer.—Be specific in
providing what the teacher has
asked for. When in doubt about
a question ask for clarification.
Remember that a number of an
swers may be correct—show
what you do know and let the
teacher decide on the appropri
ateness of your answer.
Essay. — Outline, on scratch
paper, the main points you intend
to cover. Organize them and then
begin writing. Refer to your out
line to make sure you don’t omit
anything important. It is gen
erally better to write too much
than too little on an essay quiz.
Keep to the directions for the
essay, describing or contrasting
or tracing the development of or
whatever the teacher has asked
you to do.
• DO have a written study sched
ule. Know how much time you
have to spend on each activity.
• DO make reviewing an active
process. Study your class notes
and skim over textbook material,
asking yourself the relationship
of major topics to the total sub
ject. Make a list of, or recite
aloud, the important points, facts,
dates, vocabulary, or whatever
seems to be outstanding in the
material covered. Discuss the
subject with one or two friends
if this helps, but avoid studying
with a large group.
• DO try to predict what the
teacher will ask. Learn by look
ing over earlier tests.
• DON’T rely entirely on your
memory for important informa
tion about the exam such as date,
hour, time and place, extent of
material to be covered, etc.
• DON’T wait for inspiration to
strike before studying and re
viewing.
• DON’T cram for the exam.
This may mix you up on what
you have already learned

schedule on Jan. 26.
“It is imperative,’’ Mr. Chap
man stated, “that each student
register at the proper time. A
late registration fee will be
charged anyone who registers
after his proper time.”
Second semester classes begin
at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 26.
Tuesday, Feb. 1, will be the dead
line for making changes in one’s
spring term class schedule.
Considerable moving from one
room to another within the dorms
and from one dorm to another
is anticipated during the inter
lude between semesters. Miss
Frances Snelson, who handles
room assignments, asks that any
one who has secured written per
mission to move do so after his
last exam and before leaving the
campus for the between-semester
break.
She also has asked that any
boarding student who does not
plan to return second semester
please notify her immediately in
order that she might know what
rooms are available for assign
ment to new students coming in
for the spring term.
ID Cards
Due Review
Identification cards of all stu
dents will be checked during the
registration for second semester,
the dean’s office announced this
week. Cards must be brought to
registration!
Cards of students enrolled
during the fall term will be vali
dated for the spring semester
without charge if they are in good
condition. If broken or multi-
lated, the student must have his
card remade and pay $1.
New students will pay $1 and
obtain a card while
through registration.
Students who hold temporary
ID cards issued by the office of
the dean of students during the
first semester will be required to
have a new card made during the
registration process but will not
be charged if they paid for the
temporary card.
Faculty and staff members may
have cards made for $1.
Essentially the same procedure
will be used this time as was
followed last September. Those
who must have ID cards made
will be photographed with a
Polaroid camera as they enter the
gym to register. The camera,
which photographs both the stu
dent and an information card at
the same time, produces only one
print. This will be laminated and
given to the student as he leaves
the gym after completing the
registration procedure.
The process will again be
handled by representatives of
Photographic Assistance Corp.
Health Careers Offer
UnlimitedOpportunity
going
Seniors have just one more
semester; juniors are beginning
to see the end of their under
graduate days; sophomores have
a couple of more years to make
their mark; and freshmen should
now be adjusted to college life.
This, then, would seem like an
appropriate time to talk about
where we are all going in life,
what the future holds. Syndi
cated columnist Sylvia Porter has
some up-to-date facts and figures
that should be of interest of Mars
Killians as well as any other
serious prospective employees, es
pecially those looking for a wide-
open career field.
The health services of our
country now offer you one of the
brightest career areas of all.
Millions of additional workers
will be needed in the years ahead
to fill critical manpower short
ages in literally hundreds of
health fields. There is no doubt
whatsoever that employment op
portunities in this sphere will
soar along with our demands for
the best and latest in health care.
The shortages in health per
sonnel range across the board.
Here are just a few aspects of
the shortage;
We need at least 70,000 more
registered nurses today, on top
of the 582,000 now in practice
(many of them part-time). By
1970 an estimated 850,000 nurses
will be required. This translates
into at least 100,000 nursing
school graduates each year,
against today’s 33,000 a year.
Drama Tryouts
Set Jan. 24-25
Tryouts for the spring semes
ter drama production “J.B.” will
be held from 7 until 10:30 p.m.
Jan. 24-26 in the Owen Building,
director Jim Thomas announces.
The play, to be given in March,
has a large cast of both men and
women and Mr. Thomas is eager
to have a large number try out,
especially newcomers to drama
activities at Mars Hill.
Mr. Thomas also announced
this week that “Oliver” has been
tentatively chosen as the spring
musical.
The Drama Division will host
the western district festival of
the Carolina Dramatics Associa
tion in March. Students from
high schools and colleges through
out the western end of the state
will attend.

We need 330,000 more physi
cians in the next 10 years just
to maintain today’s ratio of 140
physicians to 100,000 citizens.
Even at this ratio, the short
ages are severe, particularly in
hospitals and in rural areas. This
translates into 11,000 medical
school graduates each year,
against today’s 8,000 a year.
We need another 600,000 ac
ceptable hospital beds and a
minimum of 300,000 more nurs
ing home beds. By 1970—only
four years away—the number of
nursing home beds will have to
quintuple to meet anticipated de
mand.
We need to double our current
supply of dentists and medical
technicians and to graduate ten
times today’s annual number of
occupational therapists and Ph.
D.’s in psychology.
We need an incalculable num
ber of trained people in a whole
array of new medical fields —
such as outer-space and under
water physiologists, inhalation
therapists, heart and kidney ma
chine technicians, hospital com
puter operators.
Health insurance is expand
ing. Welfare services, including
free medical care for the poor,
are growing.
The cost of full-scale medical
education and training is steep
and rising. Our lengthening life
span is adding millions of elderly
citizens to our population.
New legislation to provide free
hospital care and low-cost doctor
insurance for the nation’s older
citizens obviously will multiply
the over-all demand for health
services across the board.
Our spending on medical care
has more than doubled in the
past decade alone. Our level of
education and sophistication is
mounting steadily. Great advances
in medical knowledge are creat
ing not only demand for the lat
est services but also demand for
the medical personnel to provide
the new services.
The estimate, in fact, is that
the U.S. right now needs as many
as one million additional workers
in the health professions and oc
cupations — and we surely will
need even more millions in the
years directly ahead.
Sounds as though Miss Porter
is laying a great challenge as well
as opportunity before us.
Collegians Study
Humorists’ Art
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
—It’s a tradition at Colorado
College to suspend classes at the
start of the second semester for
a week-long study of a single
topic.
Beginning Monday, the 1,400
students will examine humor with
comedians, cartoonists and
writers. Leaders of the symposi
um on what makes people laugh
will include Bob Newhart, tele
vision-night club comedian, car
toonist Walt Kelly, Hollywood
writer Hal Kanter, editorial car
toonist Paul Conrad and David
Frost of the “That Was the Week
That Was” television program.
