; THE DOCTORS came back to the Indiana . University Medical Center for Alumni Day and ate Hoosier fried chicken like college freshmen. * You really can't -blame them, the chicken, potato salad, baked beans, cole slaw, fresh strawberry shortcake was ds good as you want to run Into at a lawn picnic. To the layman, that's no excuse for doctors to gobble their food. The fourth annual Alumni Day yesterday began on the chilly side. Free Coca-Cola stands were deserted and the boys had, to coax doctors to have a bottle. IT made -a recommendation to Medical Director Dr. Donald Caseley how to drum up the Coke business. He didn't like it.

IN A WAY it was nice to discover, 4s you mingled with the medical men, that they can let their hair down and act like any other visiting firemen. They gawk at the progress that hag been made since they left the campus 15, 20, 25 years ago. Serious-lnooking men break out in wide smiles and holler when they meet a former classmate. t Others stand aside in ‘silence and wait for someone to talk to about. the old days.

ON THE- STEPS of the old Board of Health building, a young doctor, who was holding up a pillar as he smoked, snapped to attention and shouted without restraint: “Hey, I've been looking for somebody from the class of 44.” “So have I, doggone it,” retaliatéd a friend. “Where are you now?”

FREDERICK L. GILES had the distinction of traveling the most miles to come back. He came from Honolulu. He received his diploma in 1934. Maj. Gen. George E. Armstrong, class of 1925, created the big stir on the campus. The General, recently appointed as Army Surgeon General, was kept busy shaking hands. I overheard one doctor say to another, “The General is only 35 days older than I am and look at him. He's the Army Surgeon General and I'm only a doctor.” A recruiting officer might have done sofne good on the campus. The Army does offer opportunities. “ By the time the dinmér bell sounded, the sun came out and paper plates were carried (hauled could be applied here) on the grass. THERE WAS a question raised by a hungry doctor that was answered immediately by the dietitians. He didn’t have to worry about the supply of fried chicken. There was more in tne kitchen.
