Medical School
Costs Reach
$2,911 Per Year
Evanston, 111, (Science Ser
vice) - Medical students are 1
spending $2,911 a year in1
medical schools across the
country. That adds up to $11,
642 for the four-year course,
nd the student and his fain-:
lly are footing 82 per cent
of the bill.
? The other 18 per cent!
comes from medical schools, i
federal and state govern
ments, and from local banks.
; Financial statistics, com
piled here for the Associa
tion of American Medical
Colleges, show that of stu
dents receiving doctorates of
fnedicine in 1959, 43 per cent
came from families with in
comes over $10,000. Only 14
per cent came from families
making less than $5,000 and
the rest came from the middle-income
group.
The AAMC reported that
the figures demonstrate that
lower income families simply
cannot provide the amounts
of money needed by the stu
dent to pay for the costs of
his medical education.
"If we are to reach our
goal of increasing the num
ber of physicians to meet the
nation's health needs, we
must draw upon a broader
socio-economic base within
the population. To do this,
financial assistance is neces
sary." Whatever the family's abil
ity to help out, four of five
medical students worked dur
ing the school year or sum
mer vacation or both. Sixteen
per cent received no financial
aid from their families. But
eight per cent managed to
earn more than $6,000 a year.
For some, a spouse's income
helped make ends meet.
The study revealed that
many working students have
jobs that have nothing to do
with medical education. If
such students were given
more financial assistance, says
the AAMC, they could still
work, but could choose a
relevant job even if it meant
less money.
Coating Increases
Strength of Alloys
'. Washington -(Science Serv-Ice)-Fatigue
strengths of steel,
magnesium, and copper beryl
lium alloys are greatly in
creased when the metals are
Coated with a one molecule
thick layer of certain organic
ohemical compounds, research
at the National Bureau of
Standards has demonstrated.
i Environment greatly affects
the fatigure strengths of met
als. Traces of water and oxy
gen from the air will cause
surface corrosion. Even a
slight amount of corrosion
will considerably weaken the
metal.
; The coatings consist of
molecules having at least
seven carbon atoms in a chain
with a "polar group" (a group
of atoms having a separation
of electronic charge) at one
end. These molecules tend to
pack together with the polar
groups attached to the surface
of the metal to form the coat
ing which keeps out the oxy
gen and water molecules.
Scientists View
Strains on A-Scale
; Cambridge, Eng. - (Science
Service) - Using an electron
transmission microscope and
motion picture techniques, re
search workers here at the
University of Cambridge are
now able to watch what actu
ally happens to metal foils
when they are strained to the
breaking point.
Dr. P. B. Hirsch and Prof.
A. H. Cottrell, both of Cam
bridge, have found that struc
tures "virtually down to the
atomic scale can be seen for
the first time."
They hope the method will
enable scientists to under
stand thoroughly how the en
gineering properties of solids
result from atomic structures.
t The new technique has been
used, for example, to watch
what happens when a pure
metal is suddenly cooled from
high temperatures, to find out
how nuclear radiation dam
ages metallic crystal struc
tures, and to follow the ar
rangements and dislocations
that occur when a metal foil
is gradually strained to its
breaking point.
Car's Bright Lights
Proved Unpopular
' Syracuse, N.Y. - Leonard F.
"Daz, 34, parked his car in his
driveway and started toward
his house.
Out of the darkness came a
figure who mumbled some
thing and then punched Daz
in the stomach.
; Patrolman Carl Kurtz was
called to investigate. He
learned the blow was struck
by a neighbor who said he lost
control when Daz raised and
lowered his headlight beams,
flooding the living room with
light.
