DEAN COLE PROMOTESCOLLEGE-ALUMNI
RELATIONSBY MARILYNN RAYMOND
"This is the year for a person-toperson effort on my part," says Dr. Clarence R. Cole, new Dean of Ohio State's College of Veterinary Medicine.
And he's gone a long way to prove he means what he says. There was his trip to Texas in July, for instance. In Dallas, while addressing the Ohio State Alumni, he raised some questions to which he hopes to find answers through dialogue with faculty and alumni:
"Should clinical studies be introduced into the curriculum earlier than the junior year?"
"Should our future graduates serve an internship or preceptorship with a practicing veterinarian?"
"How can the College best provide opportunities for specialization?"
"How many veterinarians will be needed in the future?"
"If the half-life of a veterinarian's knowledge is eight years, what methodswill be most successful for emphasizing continuing education ?"
"What criteria should be used in selecting students for admission to the College?"
"To what extent can we reduce the lecture hours and increase instruction with patients as the focal point?"
"Can we be more effective through interdisciplinary instruction?"
Dr. Cole went on to say: "The business of our College is discovery; discovery of new and efficient and stimulating teaching methods, discoveryof means of giving better service, discovery of new information useful for the practice of veterinary medicine, anddiscovery of more effective means for expanding continuing education."
In September, Dean Cole presented this challenge to the Midwest Public Relations Conference of the student chapters of the AVMA:
"I propose for your consideration that all student chapters of the Colleges of Veterinary Medicine adopt theproject for 1967-68 of preparing an up-to-date, colorful, highly illustrated brochure on the veterinarian and veterinary medicine as a career. I hope thatan adequate number of complete, modern brochures can be placed in the career files of every high school in the country. Your efforts will speak to future college students, future veterinarians, as well as future leaders in our society."
The next day at Willoughby, Ohio, addressing the Ohio Academy of SmallAnimal Medicine and Surgery, Dr. Cole outlined his hopes and aspirations for the College. He calls the following list"Cole's Goals".
1968
I. Place the College internal affairs in order.
a. Make a continuous effort to build student and faculty morale.
II. Establish a favorable relationship between the College of Veterinary Medicine and the University.
III. Build relationships of the College with the veterinary medical and other health professions. This close-working relationship will further the horizons of veterinary research and stimulate its most important element, people.
In helping with the goals of the College, two of our own "people", Dean Cole and Dr. C. Roger Smith, Chairman of the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, have been named as consultants to the Morris Animal Foundation of Denver, Colorado. The Foundation attempts to fill the gap between the research institution and the veterinary clinician by providing new information on the diagnosis and management of diseases in animals.
"The Foundation has made greatcontributions to veterinary medicine byproviding opportunities for students to become skilled in veterinary research,"says Dean Cole.
IV. Enhance the relationship of the College with the public and with the government.
The College received national recognition through Dean Cole's three yearappointment which began September 1,to the National Advisory Committee tothe National Center for Primate Biology, located on the University of California campus at Davis. The Centerwas the last of seven primate research centers established by the National Heart Institute, which Congress authorized in 1959.
The mission of the Center is normative studies upon a large number of species to determine suitability for various kinds of health related research. The responsibility of the Advisory Committee will be to overview the Center's existing and planned program and the
relation of this program to the mission of the Center.,
In October, Dr. Cole addressed the Ladies' Auxiliary to the student AVMA. In his talk to them, the Dean offered another of his challenges: The initiation of a "Learning through Action" program for student auxiliary members. The program would encourage cooperation and action with the student AVMA chapters.
"Long Range Planning for the Development of the College of Veterinary Medicine" was the subject of Dean Cole's address to the October meetingof the Columbus Academy of Veterinary Medicine.
"The strength of a college dependsupon the competence of its faculty and the excellence of its students," he said. "I am, therefore, proud to announce the names of the new members of the faculty. They are: James K. Burt, D.V.M. from Iowa State University;Wolfgang Wechsler, M.D. from the University of Freiburg, Germany; Frederick B. McCashin, V.M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania; and Peter Lamont, D.V.M. from Cambridge University, England."
Continuing, Dr. Cole discussed the need for a close-working relationship between the Columbus Academy of Veterinary Medicine and the College withplans for 1) a clear understanding of professional procedures for referral of patients and 2) community activities toenhance the image of the veterinarian in central Ohio.
Everywhere he goes Dean Cole seeksdialogue toward accomplishment. In a recent speech he said, "Please continue your interest in our College andhelp build the best College of Veterinary Medicine by sharing your criticism with me."
Dean Clarence Cole was the keynotespeaker at the annual meeting of the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association inColumbus on January 21. His topic was "Trends in Veterinary Medical Education."
THE SPECULUM
Freshman ConvocationOn September 26, 1967, the faculty
and upper classmen welcomed the first year class and members of their family.
Following the invocation by Dr. Charles D. Diesem, greetings and introductions were presented by Dean Clarence R. Cole. Dean Cole congratulated the freshman class on their eminent success in undergraduate college and upon their admission to the College of Veterinary Medicine. He explained that"tonight marks the transition from being a number in a large undergraduate college to being an individual in a professional college where the facultyand fellow students know your name and the faculty is dedicated to makingthe venture challenging, invigorating,inspiring, and truly rewarding."
The address was given by Dr. Richard M. Mall, Director of Alumni Affairs for The Ohio State University. Dr. Mall is Secretary of the second largest alumni organization in the country, executive director of the OSUDevelopment Fund and editor of the OSU Monthly, along with being a distinguished personality and professor inradio and television programming.
After a very enjoyable and inspirational speech by Dr. Mall, recognition of the first year students was given by Assistant Dean, Dr. Walter G. Venzke. The Class of 1971 was presented as follows: Anthony, Michael, Sidney, Ohio Atkinson, Richard, East Liverpool,

JR. AVMA SURGERY EXHIBITBY GIL CLOYD, VET. MED. Ill
The Student Chapter of the AVMA conducted a live surgery exhibit at the Ohio State Fair again this year. Two surgical procedures were performed each day by veterinarians from the state. Senior students in the College of Veterinary Medicine served,as anesthetists, scrub nurses, narrators, and camera men during surgery. All surgery was monitored by means of closed circuit television and shown on three monitors along the top of the booth. This allowed an excellent view of the surgery for those who were not close enough to observe it firsthand. The types of operations done at the fair were: ovariohysterectomies; castrations ; cesarean sections; gastrotomy; repair of tibial fractures; eye enuclea
tion, and cataract surgery. At other times during the day when surgery was not being performed, movies were shown concerning other aspects of veterinary medicine. Discussions were given by students in the College on topics ranging from a veterinarian's role in research to proper care and vaccinations for a new puppy.
The Ohio State Fair Board estimated that 1,000,000 people viewed theexhibit this year. The Student Chapterconsiders the project very successful. The Columbus Academy of VeterinaryMedicine is sponsoring the exhibit as adisplay at the Center of Science and Industry located at 280 E. Broad St. So, if you didn't get a chance to see it at the fair, stop in and have a look.

It was the year beforethe ice cream sundae was invented.
RFD had just begun. McKinley was using the telephone to campaign for president. A Dr. Smith had taken the world's first X-ray photograph. And two men crossed the Atlantic in a rowboat. It was 1896. The year that our company was founded . . . in the middle of the corn belt. A year that saw our salesmen hitching their buggies in front of veterinarians' offices, explaining the Pitman-Moore idea. Which was simply that of forming an ethical house, concentrating on developing fine products that were safe, potent and stable, and could be sold at equitable prices; a house that Pitman-Moore hoped would live far into the future. It was a good idea. It's still going strong.

OMEGA TAU SIGMA NEWS
BY RONALD H. BOCKBRADER,
VET. MED. Ill
Autumn quarter started out once more as a success for the Brothers of OTS with the pledging of forty excellent men. This success can only be attributed to the tremendous effort by the brothers in pledging one of the finest classes ever.
We are proud to announce our new pledge class:
Michael F. Anthony Kenneth D. McKim Richard N. Atkinson David V. Meadows, Jr. Ken Baker Lonnie Meeusen Gary H. Barden Stanley F. Myers Tom C. Bird Richard A. Novak Robert S. Brown Roger 0. Omwake Robert Burge Conley H. Painter Thomas G. Crago Edmund Prescottano Glenn W. Crawford John E. Rehm James E. Deemer Lawrence D. Rowe J. Robert Denk Frederick T. Rudy Kent E. Farkas George Earl Sandusky Merlin R. Funderburg Steven Schachter James J. Gostlin Chris Alan Seidler Allen L. Gutin David A. Shinaberry James L. Hearst, III Jeffery W. Springer John C. Hersman, Jr. Marvin D. Steed Robert V. Hutchinson Darryl E. Strobel David Koncal John Walters Larry McKenze Ronald D. Warner
During the summer, house improvements were made consisting of new furniture and carpeting. A special note of thanks to the women of the Wives' Club and the men who served on the Committee for House Improvements.
Once again Autumn Quarter was highlighted by the annual homecoming festivities October 28, 1967, consisting of dinner and dancing at the Neil House. New acquaintances were made and old friendships renewed as the tempo of the evening soared high, compensating for the Ohio State Buck's lack of finesse on the gridiron.
This year was another winning yearfor the OTS football teams. Both the championship and runner-up trophies came our way as the OTS No. 2 team fought hard, but was finally edged outby the OTS No. 1 team in the championship game.
A contingent from Gamma Chapterattended the Grand Council meeting at Ames, Iowa in early November. Doctors Vesper and Donham, national officers from Gamma Chapter were also in attendance. The progress reports and programs for the future outlined by each chapter were interesting and beneficial. Of course a convention would be dull without entertainment and the Brothers at Ames certainly outdid themselves in showing everyone a fine time.
We would like to extend an invitation to all alumni to visit the Chapter housesand the Veterinary College whenever possible. Establishing stronger bonds between the alumni and the student members is a vital function of the fraternity. It is always good to see the familiar faces of our graduates at the house as often as possible.

You're The Doctor BY DON SANDERS AND LYNN CONRAD, VET. MED. IV
Case #1 As a large animal practitioner, you
are called to a farm to castrate 30 head of pigs, and while you are there, the farmer asks you to look at a cow with aswollen udder. The cow, a grade Holstein, is depressed and anorectic according to the farmer's description. Physical examination reveals the cow has swollen lymph nodes, especially noticeable were the prescapular and popliteallymph nodes which are approximately three inches in diameter. The udder is swollen, hyperemic and has stringyfoul smelling milk upon use of a stripplate. The left vulvular lip is enlarged to twice the size of the right side.. Rectal palpation reveals an attached mass 12 inches in diameter under the lumbar vertebrae. The farmer reported the cow had a heifer calf one month previously with no apparent difficulty. To confirm your diagnosis, you draw an unclotted blood sample and take it back to your clinic and run a hemogram. What is your diagnosis and recommendations to the farmer?
Case #2 A client brings a male Great Dane to
your clinic and the dog is in much pain.He is 8 years old and has recently developed posterior ataxia. The toenails are worn off and its paws are thickened and inflammed as the dog's feet have been knuckling over as he walks.Further physical examination revealed the dog was in great pain and would try to bite each time he was handled. The lungs were clear and the heart sounded normal on auscultation. Urinalysis indicated a specific gravity of 1.015, pH of 6.5, albumin of 100 mgm./100 ml. and slightly positive for bile. The results were negative for glucose and occult blood in the urine. Urinary sediment examination revealed 0-2 large epithelial cells/HPF, 0-2 WBC/
HPF, and 2-4 small epithelial cells/ HPF. Also, occasional granular casts were observed. The blood urea nitrogen was 19.6 mgm./lOO ml.
The dog was radiographed and the areas around the vertebrae gave clear impressions with no evidence of calcified discs or inflammation. The dog-was put on high levels of Butazolidone and aspirin, but the dog got progressively worse. The owner requested thedog be euthanized. A postmortem was performed with subsequent histopathological examination and the diagnosis was confirmed. What is your diagnosis?
Case #3 A Yorkshire sow, in a barn with four
others, began losing pigs one week postpartum, until eight of the litter of fourteen had died. These pigs developed yellow diarrhea at nine days of age, butthe other sows and pigs were healthy.Iron and neomycin were administered to all pigs shortly after birth. One of the diseased pigs was presented for necropsy at nine days of age.
The intestines grossly appeared yellow and were fluid filled. The mesenteric blood vessels and much of the intestinal wall were congested. The wall of the spiral colon was hemorrhagic. The stomach contained curdled milk and the intestines were filled with yellow, watery fluid.
