Harris Olewine, professor of chem istry and adviser to pre-med stu dents. "And it also enjoys an enviable reputation in medical colleges' for the sound preparation of its pre med students," Olewine said. Deans State Preference Deans of several medical schools recently said they would rather take a S' student from the Uni versity than an 'A' student from most other institutions in the United States, according to Ole wine. "No other college or university in the country appears to have such a formalized curriculum for pre-med students," Olewine said. "In most schools they are liberal arts students with majors in sci ence and their programs lean heavily on liberal arts courses to the exclusion of much of the sci ence courses we require;" he said. In April, 1953, there were 122 Penn State pre-med graduates in 21 different medical colleges in the country, he said. Of these 45 per cent were scholastically in the upper third of their classes; 35 per cent were in the middle third; and only 20 per cent were in the bottom third, Olewine said. The records of the past 20 years show only four University grad uates have been dropped for pure ly scholastic reasons in their medi cal college careers, he said. "As of this moment, Olewine said, "all but two of the June, 1955, graduates have already been accepted for admission. The other THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Theme Chosen For Aquacade "Modern Art" will be the theme of the Women's Recreation Associ on Swim Club's spring aqua-. tale April 22 and 23 in the White Hall swimming pool.

Accepted Anywhere It has been reported that only 25 per cent of all applicants from other preparatory schools across the nation were admitted under the same circumstances, Olewine said. Penn State graduates are acceptable at any of the 81 medi cal colleges in the country, he said. The scientific emphasis in the pre-med curriculum, Olewine said, prepares a student for medical college, but the curriculum can also be adapted to a career in chemistry or biology should the student decide he cannot procede to medical school. irripressions-- (Continued from page four) expert, prepared the story in Eng lish and then turned it over to three translators who are Scandi navians now studying and work ing at the University.
