Variety of activities
offered by med club
Tho NU-Medi, club for pre-med studenti, is going to
change the way it operates, said the president and vice
president of the club.
President Sandl Mclroy and vice president Tom Rives
said that they are going to try to make the club more
. active than In the past.
In past years, the club mainly sponsored guest speak
ers, Mclroy said, and the social side of the club was
Ignored.
Club members hope to create new Interest by becom
ing an Integral part of the pre-med curriculum, she said.
.Rives said the club is going to try to be a social organi
zation and, at the same time, help students And out what
to do to meet medical school entrance requirements.
Melroy said since the pre-med students did not social
ize at their meetings.lt 'furthered the attitude that pre
med students are anti-social."
Rives said the new thrust of the club will be to show
students what the medicine profession is like.
Through the club, Rives said he hopes to arrange for
students to observe surgery and make rounds with
doctors.
The club also will get involved with charity organiza
tions such as the American Red Cross, the American Can
cer Society, and Muscular Dystrophy Association, Rives
said.
Rives said that the club will be able to do more for
students than they can do alone .
"If we can offer them (charity organizations) a fairly
large organization," they will be encouraged to let the
organization do more," he said.
Rives said it is important for students applying to
medical school to have as many activities on their tran
scripts as possible.
Melroy said to help students, the club will keep a
record of activities students have participated in. If
medical schools would like to find out how active mem
bers have been, the school will have access to the club's
records.
The key to making-a successful club is having a large
number of members, Melroy said.
The club will have a better chance of getting prominent
people to speak at their meetings if they can offer a large
audience, she said.
Club dues are $4 a year. Rives said he hopes the club
will have at least 100 members.
