WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 22. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Plans Given for College Bound High School Student Washington - If you're a high school senior this year and haven't yet applied for admission to the college you're Interested in, you'd better get moving. That's the latest word from educators, who say that November of your senior year Is "the last safe dale for ap plication," particularly to a major college. If you're a high school Junior, you can start bracing for the college entrance tests you'll be bound to take this year. And if you're a younger student-even down to sev enth grade-there are things you can do now to ensure a college education in your future. Entrance Iniuranc According to the National Education association, here are some things you can do to make sure youUl get into college: Seventh grade - Student, parent and school staff should work together on the aca demic goals to be met to qual ify for college, including con sideration of whether the stu dent should go into any ad vanced classes the following year. Eighth grade - Decide on ninth-grade courses, which will begin to govern the type of college to which the stu dent can apply. Ninth grade-Interpretation thia year of the student's abil ities in various academic areas may point more clearly to a career choice, and therefore college choice. Tenth grade-By this time the school should be able to recommend in which areas the student should concen trate - more math, more science, more languages - to ensure his college application will be accepted. Eleventh gradc-This is the year the college-bound student should start studying college catalogs, reference books and materials explaining the tests he may take - preliminary scholastic aptitude test, na tional merit scholarship qual- The Medkal Roundup by 'mtrUnt c Emtrltai 1 Medlrln Medicine Cnmttltjnt In Mivo Clinic Professor of Miyo clinic Ulcflitir and Trlhun SyndlciU, 1 Resistance la Growth Of Cancer Cells In recent years. In research laboratories, many studies have been made of the resist ance that the normal bod ies of animals and men pre sent to the growth of cancer cells which have been perhaps placed under the skin. ivii Way back in 1889, a German investigator named Hanau removed frag ments of cancer from a rat that had died nf the disease, and these he transplatend un der Imp skin nf olher rats. Thp transplant grew for a while and then, Ihcy not only failed In grow, hut shrank up. Unfortunately, Hanau was too far ahead nf his lime, nobody paid any atlenllon lo him, and eventually In sorrow he committed suicide. Today, in laboratories all over the world, there is great excitement about this type of work. It was carried on in the 1000s by Dr. Leo Locb in this country, and by Dr. Jensen in Denmark. Now many men are studying it again. The general rule is for a transplanted tu mor taken from. letius sny, one mouse and put Into another, to establish a blood supply and to start to grow. After sev eral days, it begins to shrink, and finally it disappears. In terestingly, once this has hap pened, the animal will no lunger support even tempor ary growth nf this particular tumor, or of other tumors aris ing in the same strain of mice. Obviously the animal has been immunized, much as a child who has measles is im munized against a later at lark. Today, as Dr. Medawar re cently said. "Nearly every re search worker who supposed he was using transplantation In sludy tumors was in fact using tumors lo study Irans pnrlalinn.'' The work thai is being done today in this field Many Scholarships Are Never Claimed Each year, more than 20, 000 scholarships go unclaim ed, because eligible students are not aware they exist. If you are now In high school, want lo go to college, and if you have heller than average grades, you may be eligible for one of the count less number o( scholarships available. You can ! tell whether you qualify for a scholarship in leu you apply. Try for sev eral scholarships then your dinners of getting one are better If you have the choice of ninre than one, you will he able lo pick the one most suitable to your likes, finan cial need and rareer. You can serine a cvvplctr scholarship list in "Financial Aid to College Students" which you can get by sending 511 cents to the superintend ent of documents. Govern ment Printing Office, Wash ington, D. C. College bulletins in the local library will list scholar ships the various schools of fer. In addition, there should be other material on what s r h n larships organizations might offer. In addition, many business organizations, union, civic croup?., vclrrans organiza tions, churches, some state and federal agrnnes nfler variou scholarship arrange-mcnl. may have two results: It may teach us eventually how lo transplant a kidney from one Into another, and it may teach man into another, and it may teach men and women to so greatly increase the normal resistance to the growth of cancer cells that we will have available a vaccine against cancer. It is curious that after hu man cancers have been induc ed to grow for a while in ani mals, they can be grown with comparative case in a test tube, or in the embryo of the chicken, (in an egg) where or dinarily cancer of human ori gin can not be maintained. The hopeful thing about these studies is that no one knows how soon we may gel thp vac cine we so want lo protect us all against cancer. In the last few years can cer cells have been Injected under the skin of many per sons. By December! lOfit), when the great Sloan-Keller-ing Institute for Cancer Re search made their Progress Report No. 14, almost 100 men had volunteered for this ex periment. In every case, when the cancer cells were injected under the skin, a module formed which later shrank up and disappeared. Recently, with delicate technics, anti bod I es against cancer im plants have been found in the blood of the normal per son who once rejected a cancer implant. These antibodies are like those which form in the body when a dangerous germ enters the blood. A fact which has emerged is that patients suf fering from advanced cancer lack some of that resistance lo cancer which is found in the tissues of healthy persons The nature of this defect must now be found and remedied. Studies are going forward which we hope soon will show what is the nature of the anti-cancer-cell substances in the body. Interestingly, there Is an an tagonism between a certain type of tubercle bacillus and cancer. Some 30 years ago, my old friend Dr. Raymond Pearl fell (hat he had detect ed this fact with his statistical methods. It is conceivable, then, that some substance In the tubercle bacillus might some day be used lo fight cancer. Ifying lest, or others.

Today, television is play ing an important role In help ing to solve current education al problems. In some areas it helps alleviate teacher short ages; in others it also extends the scope of subjects that can be taught to the greatest pos sible number of students by personnel experts in many specific fields. Today, close circuit tele vision unites a group of class rooms in separate schools into one. Lectures and demonstra tions are beamed to the stu dents by teachers who are specialists in their subjects. The individual classes then do their written and labora tory work and the subject is further discussed among the students. Those educational institu tions using educational TV in their curriculum find there's a consistently larger attend ance in such classes, that stu dents show better retention of the subjects taught, and that their rate of learning is com parable to the conventional methods and for many stu dents, even better. Adraniaget As teaching by TV contin ues to expand in the school svstem. there will be many ad vantages for the student, as plane. try can reacn counnesa rooms. A greater variety of subjects can thus be taught without increasing faculty re quirements. Education also comes into the home via TV as many more commercial channels are programming specialized courses in languages, math, social studies, and even pro vide courses for which col-, lege credits are granted.

Study Tips Given For Fall Students Washington - If you're a student returning lo school this fall, you'll be facing plenty of tests during the year ahead. If you're the parent of a returning student, you'll be involved in helping your son or daughter prepare for tests. Here are some tips from the National Education associa tion on preparing ' for and taking tests: Read the test directions carefully, and ask any ques tions you may have about the test before you start. ' 1 Find out the scoring system. On some tests, you'll be pen alized for a wrong answer. On other tests there wilt be no penalties attached, so ob viously it will pay you to make a guess about the ans wer. Answer the questions you're sure of first. Then go back and work on the others. Then, at least, you will have gained all the points you can get on answers that you're sure of. Budget your time on the lest. Keep an eye on the clock so you can allow more time for the most difficult parts of the lest, or the parts where the scores will mean the most. After you've finished the entire test, re-read every thing In make sure you haven't made some obvious 'goof,' like forgetting lo put down your name, class or sec tion number. In the body of the test, unless you're sure your first answer was wrong, let it stand-your first hunch is apt lo be correct. Typa-of-Teit Tips True-false - Be careful of qualifying words (all, some, many, none, always, never, most) for the answer fre quently hinges on these words. Multiple-choice - Eliminate the obviously wrong answers first, and spend more time on the two or three left. Completion - Unless there's a penalty attached for wrong answers, fill in the blank space, even if you're not cer tain the answer you give in the "right" one. A number of answers may be correct, and yours could well be one of them. Short answer-Give II, e spe cific answer asked for. But If you're not sure Just what the teacher wants, Ihen ask. If you still have, doubts, show what you do know, and let the teacher decide If It was appropriate. Essay-It's best (o make brief outline on scratch paper to make sure that, when you're writing the essay, you don't forget anything. It's bet ter to write too much than too little, but be precise, give examples, write clearly. Keep a written study sched ule and budget your lime, but don't be too rigid about it. The schedule should be a guide, not a blueprint. Keep a schedule of what you've covered since the U t test. Then you'll understanl what material - In lhe text book and out-you're expected to know for the next one. Review regularly. Other wise, It may he loo late. Be sides, research shows Ihnt learning is much more effi cient when a student constant ly reviews material he's stud ied. Ask yourself questions as you skim material already studied, try to relate each part of the study to the whole, list important facts. If you wait to cram for an exam you may just get mixed up on material you already know, besides losing the rest and re laxation you need. Sec to it that your child has enough time for studying in a space that's lareg enough, well lighted, and away from distractions. Help him to keep his study schedule, but don't force him into a rigid mould. Help him develop a sense of his own responsibility for learning. See to it that your child has enough rest and an adequate diet. Commend him for success ful accomplishment, but don't use a poor test score as a club. Help him to improve but don't make him hate and fear tests and schools. Short, Mid-Length Gloves Fashionable High school fashions come lo hand in a variety of short and mid-length leather gloves. For school and town wear, lhe leather "shortie" is most, popular. In smooth, textured and grained leathers, the slim tailored glove has the effect of finishing a costume, even a school outfit. For evening or date wear, the co-ed is apt to be con servative, wearing a four, button doeskin or smooth leather glove. In color range, leather gloves for teen girls are apt lo be neutral. But even In the neutral spectrum there is a large variety of bone, brown, gray and gold leath ers. Detail is usually simple, worked into the glove in the form of scams, designs or perforation with an occasion al wrlrt bow for a dressier look. Wide Leather Belts Popular with Co-Eds Leather belts are riding wide and handsome- but no higher than the waist - as co-eds make the best of their slim figures. Still one of the mainstays of the back-to-school ward, robe, the solid-colored belt has been topped by two, three and four-color circles. Frequently, two contrart Ing colors of the same leath er texture - smooth or grain ed - meet at the back and front where they overlap In a harlequin effect. In multi color belts, different color sections are usually set off by brass bars or small metal hinges. Varied color belts give a girl wide wardrobe support at least one color on the belt will pick up the major ton nf her ensemble.
