He · attended Kishin-chand Chellaram College in Bombay for five years, and did his master's ( M.S.) in organic chemistry at the University of Bombay. Mr. Advani is a bachelor, as is the case with most of the students in India where boys usually marry and get a good, steady job after finishing their studies. Since childhood, he had the wish to see Europe and study in the United States. Last year his wishes were granted; and while on the way to the University of Utah , he visited Karachi, Pakistan, his birthplace, Aden, Egypt, Italy, France, and Eng-land, before reaching New York. He likes traveling. Mr. Advani is interested in sports, enjoys watching football and bas-ketball, and has not missed a game played by the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. He likes the University of Utah, especially the teachers he is under. He says Salt Lake City is clean and beautiful, and he likes to walk around in the snow here. He says American people are more friendly than people of other places he has visited. He hopes to graduate in 1961--62. Hagop (Jack) S. Mekhitarian The official year. was 1934. Eu-rope was in turmoil. Nazi Germany was arming herself by every possible means. Britain and France were desperately looking for an outlet to ( Continued on next page) 3 THE PHARMIC UTE avoid World War II or how to def end themselves. It was in those precise moments that my father and mother made a mistake - ( don't laugh, they were married in 1932) - by bringing me into this material world where feeling and thinking are still unavoidable. I was brought into the world on Turkish soil by an Armenian family. Now I am subject to Abdel Gamal Nasser's United Arab Republic of Syrian Province. I took my elementary education in Capucinian Missionary School in Kamishli ( a Syrian village close to the Iraqi-Turkish border) till the age of 12. Then I moved to Aleppo ( a trade center in Northern Syria) and went 4 years to Boghos Gilberkian Varjaran School. I graduated in 1948 from there and went to Karen Yeppe Djemaran, a secondary Armenian College. I left the Armenian College in 1952, after finishing the 10th grade of my secondary education, and went to Aleppo College ( an American Missionary College, half Presbyterian and half Evangelical, sponsored by the Board of Foreign Education and The Ford FQundation). I graduated -from high school in 1954 and took my freshman year in college at Aleppo College in 1955. On Feb. 11, 1956, I left Syria via Lebanon en route to the New World. On the way I visited Alexandria, Egypt, now U.A.R.; Athens, Greece; Genoa, Napoli, and Rome, in Italy; the Morocco in North Africa; Halifax; and Canada. The moment I stepped out from under the influence of "Queen Frederica" of Greece into New York City in March , 1956, I thought I was living in an air-conditioned world. I ended up going to school in Fresno, California, taking pre-pharmacy courses in Fresno City College from 1956-59. Now I am in the University of Utah, in my junior year and hoping to graduate in 1962. As a foreign student from Syria, U.A.R., I wish to express my thanks to the University of Utah for accepting me as a regular student in the College of Pharmacy. Some people still ask why I chose the pharmacy profession as my companion in life. There is more than one answer to this question. First, back in the old country, the pharmacist is still a "doctor." (This picture is more characterized in the village.) Second, there is a professional responsibility besides the responsibility to your immediate society. A pharmacist is a combination chemist, botanist , zoologist, biochemist, pharmacologist, and mathematician, as well as a good public relations and society man. On the whole, an active man in every phase of life. The American student should consider himself lucky to live in the New World where he has all the means of pharmacy to take advantage of and can be a good, organized, and useful citizen · to his country. Since the pharmacist is dealing with exact doses and proportions of a certain drug to be prepared, it is impossible to lie. Truth is associated with his whole essence, like a daily companion. While staying on American soil temporarily, for an educational purpose, I'll try to do my best to take advantage of the facilities and opportunities of the vast pharmacy field which has opened her arms to any race to get benefit from her fountain and horizon of light. Behrooz Behroozi I was born twenty-six years ago in the city of Kenmanshah, Iran. My father is a physician and because of his profession I became interested in the field of medicine.

In Mr. Stiles' 50 years as Market Research Director for Abbott Labs, he has become famous throughout the country for his work in pharmaceutical economics and his colorful talks on that subject. He mentioned that in 1899, the leaders of pharmacy predicted the profession would not last more than 25 years. This, he pointed out, be-comes a very interesting observation in the light that the economists predict the greatest advancement in the profession during the 60' s. Mr. Stiles stressed in his talk that pharmacy was to take on a new role in the future. That of drug consultant to· the physician. In thi s position the prestige of the profes . . sion would reach newer heights and it would play an even greater role as a member of the health team. The great amount of enthusiasm and optimism which he had for pharmacy and its future that evening made his talk very enlightening to those who were present, and also made one of the most interesting APhA meetings to date this year. Refreshments were served afterwards at which time he was able to meet the students and answer many of the questions they had brought to mind during his talk. India - Germany - Persia ( Continued from page 3) dream of mine, that some day might become a doctor and discover something new! When I was ready to go to college , being an engineer became more important to me but after one semester of studying in this field the old dream did not let me go any further and I turned my way to the field of medicine. Later, I thought, it is not reasonable for the father and son to have the same ( Continued on next page) 7 THE PHARMIC UTE profession and compete with each ~ther. After all there is transportation from one field to another. Now I am in the College of Pharmacy. I entered the United States about three years ago in order to go to school a~d al~o pay a visit to my brother m Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This is my first year in Utah. I have two younger sisters and,of course, a father and mother. At the present time my family is residing in Tehran, Iran. Karl Unte My name is Karl Eberhard Unte. I was born on April 5, 1939, in Berlin-Dahlem, Germany. During the war I lived in Breslau and again in Berlin from where my mother and I fled in front of the Russian troops. We arrived just in time in Garmish, Bavaria, to see the American troops invade the Alps. Later I lived in Tufflingen from where I was invited in 1950 by the French Government to attend one of its best boarding schools, the College Decourdemanche. 1 My father died in a Russian Prisoner of War camp in 1951 .leaving my mother and I isolated from the rest of our family. At that time we first considered emigrating to the U.S.A., and finally, on St. Patrick's Day in 1955, we arrived at New York International Airport. Since then I have lived in Salt Lake City, and, I might add, that it is the one city in which I have lived for the longest continuous time. My interests are varied. Under Professor Dr. H. Brunner in Tubinger I s tu di e d Egyptology, which is still my favorite hobby. Other i~terests are history, languages, social psychology and some olympic sports such as fencing, target shooting , swimming , soccer, tennis and horseback riding. Generally, I enjoy 19 ~¥~til ! its discontinuance as high school in ( Continued on page 8) Pharmacy Interns Hold A Meeting By L. David Hiner An innovation in State Board-Interne relationship took place on February 9th , at the State Capitol Building, when the Board of Pharmacy met with the q u a 1i f i e d Pharmacy Internes in a body for discussion purposes. It was a most gratifying event, and should be perpetuated through the years. Heretofore , the requirement of the year 's experience has been something taken pretty much for granted in the various states, with not too much attention given to when, how, and where it was obtained. Our Utah board acted to correct this situation a few years ago when they set up the " fifteen hour" professional education requirement, which in effect said, "our Utah internes would get six months of their experience post graduation." This requirement focused the attention of students very clearly on the internship problem. The focus was so intense in fact, that it provoked a study of the whole matter, and the preparation by the students of a well-defined suggested program of what they wanted included in their experience routine. Prescription practice, etc., of course, were included, but it also included such items as experience in civic affairs , service or9anizations, detailing doc tors, and the like. I like this phase for the interne because it expresses of t~e outlin: of activities suggested, an mterest m a neglected area in pharmacy. In the main , pharmacists have shown disinclination to participate in service clubs, civic affairs and, most important, politics. As a result, pharmacy has comparatively few friends up where the laws are passed and appropriations are made. ( Continued on page 8) 8 THE PHARMIC UTE Pharmacy Interns Hold a Meeting (Continued from page 7) I'd like to see the expression on pharmacy faces when the internes start asking " but when do we detail a doctor? ," or " whom do we know in the legislature to help us out?" The meeting of internes with board members was informative and constructive. It was a direct tie between mutual professional minded folks , and it can become a link between the board and the retail store owners . I don 't think anyone wants a complicated, cumbersome experience routine, but on the other hand, everyone wants a wholesome, dignified program. A good conscientious preceptor for an interne is an asset to the . whole profession. A dis~ gruntled, soured individual is a liability and should not be encouraged to associate himself with the impressionable generation. Interning is a serious and profitable business and I'm really pleased to see th~ board of pharmacy so active in this phas_e of practical education which we can't teach in _the classroom. A. Ph. A. Christmas Party By Nat Nord With the approach of Fall Quarter's final week nearing by leaps and bounds, nearly 100 students, their wives, dates , and guests, caught a few moments respite on Friday, December 4th, at the Annual Christmas Party. Held at Maxfield Lodge in Big Cottonwood, the party is rumored to have been a success, although certain crises were experienced , namely , the initial lack of heat at the lodge. While most of the women huddled and shivered in their party dresses, the men contemplated the possibilities of igniting a few tables. Thanks to their indecisiveness, the proprietor was enabled to get his heating unit functioning . The menu of roast sirloin of beef was heartily partaken of by the sembled revelers, following the recitation of grace by George Constantine. Dancing followed the meal , with a goodly number of the group showing their prowess on the dance floor , in particular, Mr. Jim McMahon . In attendance, as guests of the College, were the faculty members and their wives. Unfortunately, Dean Hiner had been called out of town on the day of the party and could not attend. However, Mrs. Hiner was among the guests and her attendance was appreciated. Door prizes donated by SmithFaus Drug Company, consisted of si lver trays and caused two students to be especially fortunate for having attended.

My interests in pharmacy are after those in nuclear physics, those which I would like to call my occupation and vocation either in connection with research or representation abroad. Hossein Ebrahimi In the year of 1937 I was born in Shiraz, Iran, Shiraz is in the Parse Province and is not far from the Persian Gulf. This city has an old historical background. From afar a visitor can see the palace of Persian kings . These monuments are over three thousand years old. Today Shiraz is one of the important cities of Iran. Because of the natural conditions she displays a prominent part in guiding commerce toward better conditions. For a long period of time Shiraz (Continued on page 15) 9 THE PHARMIC UTE New Drugs Spark 1959 By Dr. R. V. Peterson The terminal year of the 1950' s saw many important advances in the pharmaceutical field. New, potent agents were added to our armamen . . tarium against disease in the diuretic, psychotherapeutic, antibiotic, anti . . bacterial, steroidal, and other fields of drug therapy. To choose a single outstanding agent from among them would be very difficult and would likely reflect the interests of the per . . son making such a choice. Several drugs were considered as candidates for this distinction. It cannot be denied that drugs which relieve pain and suffering are ·among our most useful drugs. Thousands of chemical compounds have been synthesized in an effort to im . . prove on the properties of morphine , from the standpoint of addiction liability, incidence of side effects, and -analgesic potency. In December, 1959, a new narcotic analgesic was released, primarily for hospital and institutional use, under the name, Phenazocine ( Prinadol - SKF). Phe . . nazocine, a compound bearing some chemic:al resemblance to morphine, was synthesized by May and Eddy at the National Institutes of Health. In animals, phenazocine has been shown to possess an analgesic po . . tency 14 or 15 times that of mor . . phine, and in double . . blind studies in humans , about 3 or 4 times that of morphine. These data are on a weight comparison basis, as deter ... m_ined by several methods of testing. Side. effects, such as circulatory and respiratory depression , have been reported to be less ( about ½ to ½) with phenazocine than with morphine at equipotent dosage. Unlike morphine, phenazocine does not cause vomitting in dogs, but, indeed , prevented vomitting following nor..maily emetic doses of apomorphine or copper sulfate. Phenazocine has a potent antitussive effect in dogs, as do most opiates. Tolerance to the analgesic effects of phenazocine occurs less frequent . . ly, and builds up more slowly, than with morphine. Addiction liability studies indicate that physical de . . pendence on phenazocine develops more slowly and is less intense when compared with that produced by equipotent doses of morphine. Phenazocine is indicated for use in general pain states, as preopera-tive medication , for postoperative restlessness and pain, in obstetrics , and as an anesthetic adjunct. The average adult dosage ranges from .5 to 3 mg. intramuscularly or in-travenously. Organizations ( Continued from page 5) everyone relaxed to play charades and name bingo. Most of the wives are looking forward to enjoying the trip to the East with their husbands. In prep-aration for the trip , Mrs. Hiner will talk to the wives at a special meeting and discuss clothing, accommoda-tions and all of the other important aspects for women. Kappa Epsilon Night By Sharon Odekirk The A.Ph.A. meetings for 1960 will have a hard time to top the January meeting which Kappa Epsi-lon, pharmacy women's fraternity , sponsored. The guest speaker for the evening was Dr. Stewart Harvey, professor of Pharmacology at the University of Utah College of Medicine. Aside from teaching pharmacolo . . gy , he is an amateur actor and comedian which he proved very well during his talk concerning some of ( Continued on page 11) 10 THE PHARMIC UTE BEST WISHES TO THE STUDENTS AND FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, COLLEGE OF PHARMACY §JlfJ.nfi CJlJ1i:Jlal (/J.IUUJ. - FIVE STORES TO SERVE YOU - 24 East Ninth South 452 East Second South 3390 South State 750 East Twenty-first South 4886 South State SALT LAKE CITY UTAH THE PHARMl C UTE Organizations ( Continued from page 9) the aspects, both good and bad, of alcohol. The entertainment for the evening was provided by the K. E. 's. All of the girls participated. Those who had talent were Leni , Darla and Michiko, while the girl who just had nerve was Murgatroid Spencer. Leni T eshima danced to two very beautiful Hawaiian songs, accented by her colorful sarong. Darla Strate gave a vocal solo, " Some Enchanted Evening. " We also got a taste of Japanese " Cha-Cha" as we watched Michiko Sanada and her friend, Joyce, Akiyama, Sandy Furubayashi , Connie and Naomi Kasulichi, Tommy Oqura , Marilyn Oishi and Janice Tohinaka . Special sweetness was added to their dancing by the two sixyear-old girls. Participation of the new freshman, Murgatroid Spencer, ended up being an "exotic" pantomime. Peggy Kirton was the very capable M.C. and is also president of . K. E. The gifts of pens and Cepacol were from Ciba and Merrill. Jeannette Ware made the prorr r;cims w hich were qiven to everyone. Refreshments of cider and doughnuts concluded the unique meeting sponsored by Kappa Epsilon. U. Ph. A. Convention By Sec. H. Ward McCarty Participation of College in U. Ph. A. Convention There will be plenty to interest the ambitious pharmacy student in the big 68th annual Convention of the U. Ph. A. this year! College Considered This convention was planned with our College of Pha rmacy definitely 11 in mind. The days are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the 11 , 12, and 13 of May. The place is the deluxe auditorium of the Prudential Federal Savings Building at State Street and 33rd South, Salt Lake City. So you see there will be no difficulty at all for our College of Pharmacy students to attend many of the convention sessions. (As a matter of fact , campus scuttle-butt has it that those who hope for more than C grades for the Spring Quarter would do well to be in evidence at the convention.) California Symposium Wednesday eveninq , May 11th, we are flying in Mr. Martin Winton of Fresno, California , President of the California Pharmaceutical Association , and Mr. Floyd Heffron, of San Francisco, Executive Secretary of the California State Board of Pharmacy. These two men will take up the entire evening ( until 12:30 A.M .. if interest lasts) in a detailed discussion on how C a I i f o r n i a achieved such a close-knit professional organization; how they are able to pay the best salaries in the natkm; how universal use of a Prescription P r i c i n g Schedule was achieved; and how they were able to legislate into law a strong Professional Code of Ethics that has eliminated the petty offender , the non-conformist, and the unethical price-cutter. You will certainly want to hear this discussion ... and participate in it with questions. Faculty and Students To Participate Thursday morning , May 11, has been turned over to our College of Pharmacy. We want to hear the Dean 's report and we want to catch a glimpse of what the next decade has in store for the College. We want to hear Dr, Swinyard in two area s: Prescription Pricing ,· and ( Continued on page 13) 12 THE PHARMIC :..:TE In serving the pharmacists of Utah these many years McKesson & Robbins has been more than just a reliable drug wholesaler. One of our chief endeavors has been that of helping the Utah druggist keep up to date with pharmaceutical developments and drug store merchandising . Through McKesson's " Rex" McKay Service he can stay abreast of the ever-increasing number of pharmaceutical products being developed. Our Store Modernization Service is another example of the many successful programs McKesson offers the retail druggist to help him increase his volume of business. Yes, we specialize in helping the retail druggist and develop his business, but first and foremost is our interest in supporting his efforts to serve the health needs of his community. That is why the Ogden Division of McKesson & Robbins maintains complete stocks of drug store merchan dise at all times. $JfOW Mc KESSON & ROBBINS INCORPORATED 13 THE PHARMIC UTE U. Ph. A.
