About The Artist
Four divider pages were created especially for

OCCOPODIAN '82 by the famous Russian artist
Alex Okun.

In Russia, Mr. Okun received the equivalent of
the Tony Award in 1975. His individual art works
have been appraised from $18,000.00 and up.

Alex Okun has only been in this country for six
months and has already had terrific reviews (for
set design and artwork) in the Boston Globe, New
York Times, New York Post, and most recently
Newsweek Magazine (Jan. 25, 1982). We feel very
fortunate to have him on our staff.

Thanks go to Alex Loevsky for making it all pos-
sible.

Ms. Purcell:

Please let us start by telling you how much we enjoy your show Real
People. It is obvious that you and your associates njoy your work. Now,
to the business that compels us to write.
Alpha Gamma Kappa (A.G.K.) is a professional fraternity at the Ohio
College of Podiatric Medicine. Unlike other fratem·ties, our functions
are not only social. We presently staff two fratem·ty clinics in the Clevland,
Ohio area in locations such as the City Mission. Te clinics are staffed
ashreoutlrdeeartereds1paotnnsobcihiatrygeo. f Students in all
by stuaents and our patients varying degrees
four years of their training

in maintaining quality Podiatric care.
A.G.K. is not, however, a ganization of all work and no play. Our
"Rush" night as well as our initiation. forma an'tl other parties throughout

the academic year are definitely play.
This year as part of our social calendar, we are presenting a very
special award. We in A.G.K. are in a position to v ew a wide range of
lower extremities (otherwise known as legs). We ha e therefore instituted
the First Annual Lower Extremity Award. It is with great pleasure that we
confinn you as the winner of this award, Most Attractive Lower Extremit

for the 1981-82 academic year.
We would like to publicly announce your name as award winner at our
annual Spring dinner on April 23, 1982. This wi 1 coincide with National
Foot Health Month which extends through the ent re month of May. We would
like to know what the best manner of delivering your award would be. Please
contact us at your earliest possible convenien e with this information.
We feel that your lower extremities now have a "professional seal of
approval" so to speak. It is also our hope that this award will be a
vehicle in promoting the public awareness of he work being done in the
six schools granting degrees of Doctor of Pod atric Medicine. As our
country's population grows larger and, on the whole, older, it is of
vital importance that good foot care be in the minds of everyone.
Congratulations on your Most Attractive Lower Extremities. We are

anxiously awaiting your reply and remain

P.M.S.E.M.O.

Since the inception of the Podiatric Medical Stu- ..-,.._
dent's Ethnic Minority Organization (PMSEMO) ""'!!-
at OCPM, its members have made a concerted
effort to promote the recruitment, admission and
further academic progression of minority stu-
dents within the profession of podiatry. Much of
this has been accomplished by increasing the re-
sponsiveness of the administrative staff, faculty
and students to some of the obstacles confronting
minority students.

Most, if not all our efforts have been heartily
welcomed. However, there is a definite need to
incorporate a still larger percentage of qualified
minority students into the profession. The addi-
tional participation and support of non-PMSEMO
members within the profession is necessary if this
goal is to be realized. The manner of such support
can be both overt or subtle and may include:

1) Further efforts by non-PMSEMO members in
minority recruitment.

2) open avenues for constructive ideas between
PMSEMO and other fraternities.

3) The simple awareness by members of the
profession of minority affairs and/ or prob-
lems.

The challenge for further cooperation, commu-
nication, and dedication has been given. Hopeful-
ly it will be met by a united front of both
PMSEMO members and non-members, thereby
establishing a wonderfull "template" for the fu-
ture in podiatric medicine.

Respectfully,
Adam Warren
President

FOOT COMFORT OZYMANDIAS

If you walk with Ankylosis I met a traveler from an antique land
And Helomas on your toes, Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
If your feet are badly -swollen Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the sand,
From the Veins and Varicose, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
If each step is just edema And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
of a metatarsal joint, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
And the scales of dear old Tinea Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
are coming to a point, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
If the Dorsal and the Plantar And on the pedestal these words appear:
of the feet cry out in pain "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
And you're plain mad and ugly Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
With the thought, "it's going to rain!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Life is just an awful burden Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
As through this world you roam The lone and level sands stretch far away.
With your feet just hitting pavements
And these rough old cobblestones. Percy Bysshe Shelley
But if from this, a life of anguish
You'd gladly change to bliss, THE DINOSAUR
Take a tip from one who's been there
"See a Chiropodist."

GEORGE V. VOINOVICH
MAYOR

TO THE OFFICERS, FACULTY AND STUDENTS OF
THE OHIO COLLEGE OF PODIATRIC MEDICINE:

I am honored to congratulate the officers, faculty and students
of the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, one of this community's
rapidly growing professions, for their unique contributions to the
citizens of Greater Cleveland.

The College, founded in Cleveland in 1916, offers a four-year
program and awards the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine
(D.P.M. ). OCPM also has a one-year post-doctoral program for the
training of residents, and has the distinction of being one of five
colleges of Podiatric Medicine in the United States.

Today, the College has more than 600 students in the D.P.M.
program, 70 full and part-time faculty, and more than 100 adjunct
clinical faculty. Women and minorities are well represented in
the student body, and its educational contributions are inter-
national.

The College offers health care to people in Greater Cleveland
and Northern Ohio through its own clinic and 18 satellite clinics
in community centers and senior citizens homes. In addition, the
school is active in research and publications on locomotion and
disorders of the feet and legs. Students and faculty conduct foot
health screenings at public schools, child care centers and at
local health fairs.

OCPM, besides being a source of information about foot health,
is a contributor to various charities and fund-raising drives,
with Muscular Dystrophy being among the more notable foundations.

May I, on behalf of the citizens of Cleveland, congratulate
the officers, faculty and students of OCPM for the extraordinary
contributions they make daily to the profession of Podiatric
