Baylor med offers summer medicine program
Jeanmarie Amend
Baylor College of Medicine
is offering a Work and Study
Program this summer for
college students interested in
pursuing a career in medicine.
The specific goal of the
program is to attract greater
numbers of qualified minority
and disadvantaged students to
the health care professions, but
all college students are eligible.
The objectives of the
program are to motivate
undergraduates to actively
pursue their premedical
curricula, to increase
participants' understanding of
the role to the physician, and to
strengthen participants' grasp
of the basic sciences. To
achieve this end, the program
has a two-foldd approach:
academic orientation and work
experience.
A curriculum of dft&ses in the
basic sciences is conducted
weekday mornings of the 8-
week summer session;
afternoons are spent in a work
position, to gain experience in
research or clinical settings.
Housing without board is
provided in facilities near the
Texas Medical Center, free of
charge to program partici-
pants. Those accepted pay no
Oxford historian to discuss
rise of Europe at Rice
Geoffrey Barraclough, a
distinguished historian from
Britain's Oxford University,
will talk on "The Rise of
Europe," at 8 p.m. Monday,
February 5, in 301 Sewall Hall
on the Rice University campus.
The lecture is open to the
public free of charge.
Barraclough's talk is Rice's
first 1979 Ervin Frederick Kalb
Lecture in History. The
endowed series of lectures
honors the memory of Ervin
Frederick Kalb who graduated
from Rice with the school's first
class in 1916.
Barraclough graduated from
Oxford University in 1929 and
subsequently studied in
Munich and at Rome. After
service in the Royal Air Force,
1939-1945, he was Professor of
History at Liverpool Univer-
sity, 1945-1956, when he
succeeded Arnold Toynbee as
Research Professor of
International History at the
London School of Economics.
President of the Historical
Association from 1964 to 1967,
he subsequently taught at the
University of California,
moving to Brandeis University
as Springer Professor of
History in 1968. In 1970 he was
elected to the Chichele Chair of
Modern History at Oxford.
Barraclough's publications
include The Origins of Modern
Germany (Oxford 1946) and
An Introduction to Contemp-
orary History (Penguin Books
1967). His most recent
publications are The Crucible
of Europe (California 197.6),
Atlante della Storia, 1945-1975
(Laterza 1977), and Bunmei ni
totte no henkaku-ki (Turning
points in Civilisation, Tokyo
1977). He is the editor of The
Times Atlas of World History,
published in the United States
by Hammond in October 1978.

Jonestown" will be discussed

University Campus.
The lecture, presented by
Rice's Department of Religious
Studies is the second in a four-
part series on "Religious
Liberty in the American
Tradition."

Minister of State of Guyana
with headquarters at the
United Nations, will discuss
Guyana's relationship with the
People's Temple.

of Southern California, is an
ordained Episcopal clergyman.
