Tuition has doubled or tripled at most
medical schools in recent years, already
locking out many middle-and lower-class
students, according to the study, which
was conducted by a panel of 18 medical
school deans.
This year, the average medical school
graduate left school with more than
$26,400 in debts, the study shows, a 10.8
percent increase over last year.
Over 30 percent of the new doctors,
moreover, graduated $30,000 or more in
debt, compared with only 25 percent last
Over eight percent — one out of every
12 — left school owing more than $50,000.

tore-open

CSUFi school of Business Administra¬
tion and Administrative Sciences, which
was closed because of impacted classes, is
tentatively scheduled to re-open and will
accept applications for changing to a Bus¬
iness major beginning today.
"We've done a couple of preliminary
analyses, and it looks like well have a little
bit of room," said Richard Tellier, acting
assistant dean of the business school. "We-
are only at this point accepting applicati¬
ons...we are anticipating what well have
openings."
Applications are. available in room B-
106 of the Business building and will be
accepted (priority will not be given to stu¬
dents who apply early) until Friday,
October 26.
The applications indicate that a student
"IVe never had a student
...ask for a refund on his
degree."
" - Tellier
needs only to meet minimum university
requirements to be accepted into the pro¬
grams. This may change depending on the
overall number of applicants, said Tellier.
Variables such as overall G.P.A. and
number of units will be considered if the
number is high. .
- "The Faculty Enrollment Committee is
going to look at a model that's developed
over the years to see how many students
we can let in,"said Tellier, who anticipates
"about 200" applicants.

college students, medical students are    tunity to study medici

tricted to the affluent."
Only 12 percent of this year's medical
students graduated without debt, com¬
pared to 14 percent in 1983.

locked out of the medical field by soaring
tuitions and dwindling scholarship funds,
AAMC officials say.
Since 1974, the report points out. the
number of minority students attending
medical schools has stalled at 8.3 percent
of total enrollment.
Many lower-income and minority stu¬
dents who would otherwise enter medical
school are opting for less-costly business,
chemistry and biology degrees that will
bring them high-paying jobs without a
huge debt obligation, the medical deans
high standard of academic quality — a
difficult task when there's too many stu¬
dents — forced the school to close the
program. "We had a student demand
that exceeded our ability to provide
enough classes," he said. "We've had to
control our acceptance level so we can
provide enough classes and seats for the
students."
Students who are accepted into the
program will have until December 3 — the
last day of early registration for the Spring
1985 semester — to change to a Business
"I think busjness programs in general
provide an excellent academic background
for a career," said Tellier. "We have 15
options thai provide; excellent training "
"In twelve years here I've never had a
student come back and ask for a refund on
his degree."
Gamers Club offers escape
There's a sense of living on the brink of
of controlling one's own destiny
gwugh quick wit and strategic moves —
ng some who enter the game may
urn to reality.
8m * cr games and dungeon and dragon
flues are seductive in their gifts. They
8 escape into a fantasy world where
"h means only that players must sit out
luthe next game begins.
■You get to use your imagination," Karl
rajian. a member of the newly-formed
<*<:"■ Club. said. "It's kind of like a
case "
11 alsc> can be addictive — dangerously
h ~ a fact members of the CSU F Gamers
l*» readily admit.
"Some people are practically living the
character," Sarajian said. "Some people
talk about the game constantly. I don't
like to take it out [of the game room].
There's more to life than dungeons and
dragons."
The Gamers Club officially began this
semester after a semester of informal
gatherings. The group prefers playing
fantasy games as opposed to war games
because the club is young and fantasy
games are not as complex.
"D and D has the least amount of
rules," Matt Hobe. one of the members,
said. "There's not a lot of sUndards to go
by-
Game books are sold which outline the
games for the players. By rolling dice,
players determine what their characters
are, strengths and weaknesses, special
capabilities, clothing, wealth and even
charisma level.
From there one experienced player be¬
comes the "dungeon master," the con¬
troller or "God" in the land where the
fantasy takes place. The dungeon master
creates the fantasy, offers advice to the
players and has the power to eliminate the
game's characters. The master works be¬
hind a screen, his hands and plans hidden
from the other players.
Through the master's devices charac¬
ter* can run up against dragons and
 i, thieves and murderers. There is
... board for the game — action takes
place in the group s imagination. Conver¬
sation is made between players on behalf
of their characters.
Although the game does not require
moving pieces, players collect characters
which are sold at toy and craft shops.
Some players, like Hobe, bring a small
case with numerous characters inside —
soldiers, horsemen and ghoulish-looking
pieces. Other players, like Sarajian, col¬
lect the unusual dice that can be used in
the game. Sarajian emptied a small sack
displaying his dice — 20-sided, regular
six-sided, four-sided, and even a round
die coming in all colon of the spectrum.
The Gamers Club has 15 members but
Sarajian said the group hopes to doable
membership by the end of the semeater.
The group meets ^each Saturday in the
College Union, room 308. Games start at
noon and 7 p.m. Th«^^^^^^^^^^
