7 THE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIST: "The purpose of all higher education is to make men aware of what A VITAL ADJUNCT TO THE was and what is; to incite them to probe into what may be. It seeks to MEDICAL PROFESSION teach them to understand, to evalu- ate, to communicate." This quotation from Otto Kleppner is particularly apt in ref- erence to the sciences, where past and present achievements lead to discoveries that affect the future, whether it be in the field of nuclear reaction, the prediction of earth- quakes, or the investigation of disease. The dual programs at Whittier College with the City of Hope Na- tional Medical Center and the Pres- byterian Intercommunity Hospital continue the latter process through understanding, probing and communication between technologist, doctor and patient. The Committee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation of the American Medical Association de- creed that in order for medical technologists to obtain their li- censes, it was necessary that their studies be affiliated with an accred- ited college or university. Accord- ingly, the City of Hope approached Whittier College in 1975 in order to promote an inter-institute program that would meet the requirements laid down by the Accreditation Committee. This established the first college course in the nation de- signed to meet the shortage of skilled technicians. In November 1977, two years after the program was initiated, Dr. Ralph C. Kuhil, Secretary of the Committee, announced that the program had received accreditation by the American Society for Medi- cal Technologists and the American Society of Clinical Pathologists, on the recommendation of the Nation- Dr. Inez Hull watches student examining a slide. al Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences.

A number of would-be technologists are un- acceptable from the beginning, either as graduate students at Whit- tier or as technologists-in-training at the hospital; others withdraw when they realize the rigor of the work involved. "In 1959," Mr. Jordan said, ''it was considered a heavy load if technologists completed 20 tests in one day. Now, with the more sophisti- cated apparatus available, they are able to run over 3,500 tests in a month, over 20 in one hour."

Dr. Inez Hull, as pre-med advisor at Whittier, administers these programs at the College. A graduate of Rice University, she earned her Sc.M. and Ph.D. degrees from Brown University. Before coming to Whittier in 1954, she was science instructor at the Memorial Hospital Nursing School in Pawtucket, Rhode Island; carried out research in immunological genetics and taught bacteriology at Harvard Medical School; and was engaged in research in Drosophila genetics at California Institute of Technology.

The Poets nearly made it back all the way to the championship podi- um after an absence of five years, but in the final analysis it was Red- lands again on top. For John Godfrey, completing his 18th season at Whittier, it was a bitter 20-14 loss in the finale because his young charges had stunned Redlands with two quick touchdowns in the first quarter and nearly had a third. But Redlands chipped away at the Poets, scoring in the second and third quarters, then utilizing a Whittier fumble at the 38 to set up the deciding touchdown. Nonetheless, it was a great season at Poetville, the 8-2 record being only the second time since 1964 that the team had won that many games. Poet victims included St. Mary's, La Verne (home and away), University of San Diego, United States International, Claremont, Pomona-Pitzer and Occidental. Azusa-Pacific was the only other team to beat the Poets, 14-9. The coaching staff comprised of Godfrey, John McNichols, Hugh Mendez, Jim Root and Steve Clark was exceptionally proud of the Poets' defensive record.
