Part - Till     Montco's Conference For Secondary
Do you want a part-time job
but do not know how to go about
getting one? Perhaps you have
decided that a part-time job
would be just the thing to help
you pay costs of a college
education, or those bills which
will soon be piling up around
Christmas time, or maybe you
would just like some extra
spending money..
Well, now you are looking in
the right direction. A job
placement service has recently
been established on campus to
assist you in finding that job. All
you have to do is take a little
extra time to make an
appointment with the placement
assistant. He will discuss with you
the types of jobs available and
jobs you may be interested, in.
Office hours are from 12:00 to
3:00 on Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday, and from 9.00 to 3 2:00
on Tuesday and Thursday.
Information is also available on
grants, scholarships, and financial
aid. "On-campus" jobs for those
students who need then! can also
be obtained by inquiring with
the job placement service.
Part-time job openings will soon
be filled for the oncoming
holidays. So if you are seriously
contemplating a part-time job,
make your appointment soon.

Success Signs
Point To Work
Done Today
Experts predict that half of all
children now in the elementary
grades will eventually be
employed in occupations which
do not now exist!
You who are older recognize
that change is normal and
continued education is required
for anyone who wants an above
average living coupled with a
better than average life.
While salary is not the all
important factor in one's career, it
is interesting to note certain group
characteristics   and   comparision.
A survey made among 2,400
engineers and scientists revealed
that the higher the present salary
of the individual, the more he
earned toward expenses while in
college., (School jobs included
baby sitter, waiter, gardener,
chauffeur, dishwasher, laundry
representative, "dog walker," etc.)
The percentages range from about
42 per cent in the $7,000 median
group . . 45 per cent in the
$8,500 median class . . . and 52
per cent in the $10,000-and-over
Application for Admission, or
after admission has been granted,
the student is given an
opportunity to apply for both (1)
financial assistance, and (2)
assured earnings through a
part-time job award. Tuition and
fees are set at a rate intended to
make it possible for any qualified
resident of Montgomery County
to attend the College regardless of
limited financial means. Financial
aid is intended to help those who,
in spite of low tuition, couid not
attend without further financial
assistance.
The College's financial aid
program is supported by a
combination of: (1) interested
patrons, such as friends of the
College and industrial donors; (2)
a limited amount of funds from
College sources; and (3) Federal
college student financial aid
programs in which the College has
become a participating institution.

The report also indicated that
higher academic study goes
hand-in-hand with increased
school athletic activity, in number
of varsity letters awarded, by
academic degrees, two out of ten
were given men with B.S. degrees,
three out of ten went to holders
of M.S. degrees, and six out of ten
were won by those with Ph.D.
degrees.
What does all this mean to
you?
Only this: The years ahead
await those who are ready.

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES EDUCATION
TO CUT MEDICAL COSTS
In an aggressive move to cut
rising medical costs, the president
of the American Society of
Internal Medicine has called on
America's doctors to teach
patients and government planners
not make excessive use of medical
facilities and services.
There are times, says Dr.
Robert S. Long, head of the
internists' professional society,
when "a dollar's worth of
kerosene for a cold house is a
more appropriate expenditure
than $25 worth of medical
examinations in a warm clinic."
"We must take the time to
educate our patients," Dr. Long
said in his inaugural address,
"telling them they don't need
hospitalization for most
diagnostic tests, nor do they need
x-rays and lab tests every time
they have a gas pain or sore
muscle.
"We must show planning
committees the places in which
they should be spending money
for food, housing, clothing and
education or job training instead
of duplicating expensive medical
facilities as they are prone to do."
A problem, Dr. Long said, is
that "patients are being told they
are all entitled to all the best of all
health care services anytime they
want them, whether in our
medical judgment they are
necessary or not. But at the. same
time we are criticized for
over-utilizing these same services.
"By paying close attention to
proper utilization of services and
by educationg the users, we can
have an impact upon this
situation," Dr. Long told the
doctors.
