The statistics on last year's aca demic showing of the student body testified that the fraternity average is considerably higher than the dormitory average. As we have mentioned before, this is usually not the case in other schools. North Carolina is the only college in the south east where the Greeks show a better scholastic standing than the all-campus average. Yet there are some very interesting views about the local situation which might help explain the phenomenon outside of a purely comparative and material ap proach. ' The local fraternity system is so deeply imbedded in the his tory and tradition of the Uni versity that it has come to repre sent for many alumni the shib boleth of Carolina undergradu ate life. Back in the old days the fraternities were an aristo cratic bunch whose members wouldn't think of speaking to a dormitory man. But this has changed. NUMBER 36 Medical Association Asks Reconsideration Of Council's Action Action Follows Council of Medi cal Education Proposal to Close Two-Year Schools GRAHAM ATTENDS SESSIO The first active step agaij recent condemnations of tw. year medical schools has beei taken by the Association of Ame rican Medical Colleges in To ronto according to a statement made yesterday by President Frank P. Graham, just returned from the meeting. The step requested the Coun cil on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Med ical Association to reconsider its action of October 2 which recom mended thaFall two-year medi cal schools be closed by 1938. Reduce Physicians It was generally conceded at that time that the threatened abolishment of short term medi cal schools was intended to re duce the number of physicians entering the field by increasing the cost of medical education. After taking a decided stand against the proposal of the Council, Dr. Graham planned to attend the recent Toronto con ference and personally put in a plea for the two-year schools. He was accompanied by Dr. W. deB. MacNider, Kenan professor of pharmacy of the University and President. Thurman D. Kitchin and Dr. C. C. Carpenter of Wake Forest, whose medical school was also threatened, Graham Says In a statement to the DAILY Tar Heel last night, Dr. Gra ham said, "We are very much encouraged by the action of the Association and very hopeful about the coming action to be taken by the Council on Medi cal Education at its Chicago meeting on December 8. The resolution aimed at the Council's stand against short term medical schools throughout the country read, "The secretary (Continued on last page) The change, however, has not lessened the importance of fra ternities as essential to campus atmosphere. And so the Greek lodges are still able to get just about everyone they want or who wants them. Included in this group are a large number of preparatory school men who have had much better training than ex-North Carolina high schoolers. So the scholastic ef forts of the fraternities show the effects of better preparation on the part of their members. This, coupled with the atmos phere .which, if nothing else, is more conducive to concrete thoughts than the somewhat helter-skelter environment of the dormitories, makes for better application to scholastic work. It is not true that fraternities are any less distracting, strictly speaking, than dormitories. The difference in the atmosphere lies in the nature of the distractions, which in the fraternities' case usually makes for a more syste matic sort of study. It is no paradox to say that fraternal fellowship, however distracting, makes a man utilize his time to a better advantage. P. G. H..
