Kathleen Hays
Receives Gold
i
Nu-Med Award
The gold scholarship key of the
Nu Med society was presented by
Dr. Otis Wade Wednesday eve
ning to Kathleen Cecilia Hays.
Awarded annually to the pre
medical freshman earning the
highest marks, the prized key
became the possession of Miss
Hays for a freshman average of
91.1. Miss Hays is a member
of Gamma Mu Theta, honorary
women's medical sorority, and of
Hesperia.
"All students who expect to ap
ply for entrance to a medical
school during 1945 or in the spring
of 1946." declared Dr. Wade at
the Wednesday Nu Med . meeting,
"are to apply immediately to take
the Association of American Med
ical Colleges Aptitude test, to be
given throughout the nation on
Friday, April 13." Students should
apply to O. Wade, pre-medical ad
viser, room 308 BH.
Test Is Requirement.
This test has been adopted by
the association as one of the
standard requirements for admis
sion to a medical school. In many
medical schools the test is an ab
solute requirement. The test
measures one's ability to learn
material similar to that which he
will have in medical school. It
measures also his general infor
mation and scientific background
and his ability to draw accurate
conclusions from a given set of
data.
"This aptitude test," emphasized
Wade, "is required of all students
entering medical school, UN or
any other school. Time of the
test is Friday, April 13 at 2 p. m
in Bessey Hall Auditorium. This
is the only time the test will be
given this year. It is only for
pre-meds, and not for pre-tech
nicians or pre-nurses. Sign up
for the test on the bulletin board
outside my office, 308 Bessey Hall
at once.

The main criticisms made of
the program were that the staff is
incompetent; too often the wrong
diagnosis is made in an exami

crowded and generally uninvit
