ORDER AFFECTS
MEDICAL STUDENTS
Several Who Entered For Pre-
Medical Course Have Been
Compelled To Leave
QUALIFICATIONS, USE

Considerable embarrassment IS being
oeeasioned 10 number Of students in
the pre-medical department of st.
.,onn ; college by the State Board OF
Education enforcement of an order
from the Association of American
Medical Colleges concerning require
ments for entrance to the medical
preparatory course.
The order, which was issued without
preliminary notice after the colleges
had opened, is to the effect that no stu
dent shall be allowed TO enter the pre-
medical course without at least fifteen
high school units to his credit, and
further states that the fifteen units
must be made in four years attendance
at high school, The last provision
makes it impossible for graduate of
three year high school to enter the
pre-. medical work even if he has made
the required number of units. SINH
larly, n student who has made fifteen
units in three years of high school is
unable to enter the department with
out spending another year in the lower
institution.
In such eases the ruling enforced by
the State Board is that the fifteen re-
quired units which are needed are made
in three years shall be allowed to count
only eleven and One-fourth of the re
quired units for admission to the pre-
medical work.
Since no notice Of such an order was
given to the college before it opened n
number of students were admitted to
he department as fully qualified.
When it was announced that their en-
trance credentials were no good, four
of the medical men left Immediate
", and there are others who are wait
ing in the hope that some further order
will straighten the matter out and al
low them to continue the work. A de
gree of the unpleasantness of the stun
tion for the college and students will
be understood with the statement that
some of the men who were admitted to
the course and now find that they can
not continue if the order stands, come
from places as far distant as Porto
Rica.
The matter is being taken up by the
college authorities with Miss Merle S.
Batcman, Of the State Board Of Educa-
ton, in the hope that some satisfactory
solution to the difficulty may be found.

enticing appearance their crops possess
this year is said to have something to
do with it.
Their complaint is this: Corn fields

roadside just long enough to take the
choicest ears of sugar corn, the ripest-
looking tomatoes, or perhaps the ros-
