Scholarship Trophies
For the 400,000 students who
will flunk out of the nations col-
leges this year help is near at
hand.
The aid comes with the co-
operation of Lamar Dean of Stu-
dents George M. McLaughlin and
the Educational Development
Center of Claremont California.
EDC in Claremont is the western
branch of the original EDC lo-
cated in Bera,Ohio. It operates
under the auspices of College
Student Personnel Institute, a
nonprofit affiliate of the Clare-
mont College.
According to E. Roy Elling-
worth, director of the center, the
institute has a program that en-
ables 80 per cent of its high-
potential failouts to re-enter col-
lege and successfully compete
with other students. Hie pro-
gram consists of a strenuous
ten-week session which gives the
student individual counciling con-
cerning his problems, group in-
teraction, creative expression,
and goals orientation.
Admission to the center re-
quires a three day “diagnostic
session* in Claremont to deter-
mine the students capabilities
and weaknesses. Once the stu-
dent is accepted, he is given the
400 hours of guidance to “instill
self confidence.*
Primitive peoples prized
colorful dowries from the tro-
pical waters of the Indian and
Pacific Oceans for decorations
and good luck. Given to a bride,
they guaranteed offsprings; at-
tached to fishing nets, they pro-
mised a good catch.
Students interested in this ser-
vice can contact Dean Mc-
Laughlin, or can write to the
Educational Development Center,
165 E. Tenth St., Claremont,
Calif. 91711.

The only gracious way to ac-
cept an insult is to ignore it;
if you can’t ignore it, top it;
if you can’t top it, laugh at it;
if you can’t laugh at it, it’s pro-
bably deserved.—Russell Lynes.

Drug Users Obtain
Inside Dope from
Pharmacy Students
(W. Va. U. “Daily Athenaeum*)
Potential drug users from junior
high and high schols, adult
groups, 4-H clubs, and even one
state college get the facts about
drugs from West Virginia U.
pharmacy students.
Sponsored by the Students
Pharmaceutical_ Association,
students are beginning their third
year of lectures throughout West
Virginia and in part of Kentucky
and Maryland.
Last year the group reached
approximately 35,000 people—
mostly students — according
to Jerry Boyers, third year phar-
macy student and one of the lec-
turers. Boyers said, “We try
to get them before they start
using drugs. We don’t preach;
we just give them the facts.*
Using a large slide library,
the 30 to 35 pharmacy students
do all the research, write, and
deliver the lectures. Each talk
is divided into four parts: bar-
biturates, antihistamines, narco-
tics and hallucinogens. After an
explanation of each type of drug,
a question and answer session is
held in which the student audience
expresses its interest.
Boyers said the students’ ques-
tions are usually about the effects
of continued or extensive use of
drugs.
Made up entirely of volunteers,
the group operates on contribu-
tions from pharmaceutical or-
ganizations, citizens, and busi-
ness.
