Of his medical career,
Meriweather has said, ‘ ‘ A
black man lias no business at
this point giving up clinical
care because there are so
many blacks who couhl not
otherwise receive medical
aid.
I like tlie la to ra to ry
but I ’ m obligute«l to hold on
to the clinical end. Academic
medicine allows me to go in

cause

"T h is IS tlie A rm y, M r.

And it's a fa r cry from the
days gone by! Ask some of the
men taking basic training at
F o rt Knox, Ky. They're being
asked to rate their instruc­
tors, the training and the faci­
litie s .
The trainees who f ill out the
evaluation f o r m s
remain
anonymous. As a m atter of
fact, the evaluation form s are
not even read until the basic
training company has gra­
duated and left the post.
A s a result of the evaluation
questionnaires, the Arm y has
made improvements in the
dining room sat Fort Knox, and
in the individual counsel ing of­
fered to the basic trainees.
DOING SOMETHING
RIGHI
We must be doing something
tight.
That’ s the conclusion we
reached after hearing a b o u t
Captain Arnold Freheim of
F o rt B liss, Texas. The Gar­
den Grove, C a lif, native re­
cently turned down a profes­
sional baseball contract with
the C alifornia Angels Inonder
to remain in tlie Army and at­
tend the An Delense School.
Capt. Freheim , who le»l the
F ort B liss baseball league in
batting w it h a .480 average,
has been a much sought after
ha seba 11 prospect. W h ile still
in high school, he turned down
14 offers to try out fo r various
pro baseball clubs.
some, it is the opportunity to
live away from home, o r to
tra ve l. Toothers, it ’ sachance
to serve th e ir country. And, to
s till others, it ’ s the chance to
learn a useful vocation, or
continue th e ir education.
To everyone who joins, the
A rm y offers a goaf salary, re-
ti i ement at half pay a f t e r 20
years, long vacations, free
medical care, and other out­
standing benefits.
If you are a young man or
woman about to step off into a
career, o r if you are unhappy
about your present job, you
might want to "lo o k us over.”
FACTS ABOUT THE ARMY
SHAFT'S his name.
| SHAFT'S his game.
Did you know:
• That chaplains have been
part of the A rm y ever since it
was founded? During 1970, the
Army and the Arm y Chaplain
Corps celebrated th e ir 195th
anniversary.
• That there are approxi­
mately 1,000 commissioned
officers and about 12,000 en­
