MEDICAL SOCIETY
HEARSDONNELLY
Doctor Stresses Human
Side Of Medicine
"A medical man's success de
pends on training, it is true, but
a medical personality is neces
sary," Dr. G. L. Donnelly, Uni
versity medical school pharma
cologist, told the members of the
North Carolina Beta Chapter of
Alpha Epsilon Delta, national
honorary pre-medical fraternity,
at their meeting Tuesday night.
Discussing the general aspects
and the human side of the medi
cal profession, Dr. Donnelly
traced the development of medi
cal training from the chemistry
laboratory with three test tubes
and the one year medical colleges
to the present complexity of
preparation.
Human Side
"Through all of your scien
tific training, everybody seems
to lose sight of the human side
of medicine," the speaker
stressed. "Nobody says to you
that there is a human side; you
must find it out for yourself.
You must cultivate an under
standing of people's troubles and
needs in order to really succeed."
President Joe Patterson an
nounced that H. K. Russell, Uni
versity English professor, had
been appointed by the national
fraternity to act as chairman of
a committee to select the best
letter sent in to the Scalpel, fra
ternity publication, by the vari
ous chapters.
Freshman Meetings
Freshmen will meet their ad
visers during assembly period
todav at the following places:
Mr. Griffin, 101 New West; Mr.

A petition, authorized by the
Board of directors of Graham

University administration ask

the upkeep of the student union
building, which is the only build
ing on the campus which is not
maintained by the University.
Painting, repairs, r'. replace
ments, and general upkeep, in
cluding janitor service, are pro
vided for other University build
ings, and the petition, drawn up
by Pete Ivey, asks that the same
service be given to Graham Me

The University authorities
have advanced the payment of
fees by students as the reason
for separate maintenance of the
student union building. The pe

by students to Graham .Memo

Advent Of First Shy Coeds Marie
Veritable Renaissance Of U. N. G.
First Feminine Students at Uni
versity Required to Sit Be
hind Screens in Classes
By Sarah Dalton
Sincef that day in February,
1897, when Mry McRae, jthe
University's first woman stu
dent, rushed over to the matric
ulation headquarters to take ad
vantage- of the opening of Caro
lina doors to coeds, U. N. C.
has been a changed place.
The first women students
dared not think of themselves as
coeds, the very mention of the
word brought forth a shudder of
horror. They were acceptable at
the University only as women,
and in order to impress this fact
they wore hats and gloves to all
classes. N It is rumored that they
were even required to "sit be
hind screens in classes so that
the boys could keep their minds
and eyes on their work.

NEW HONOR PLAN
Magill Outlines Set-Up
At Class Meeting
Strumming the chords of
brotherhood, Track Star Presi
dent Reuben Graham of the jun-
ior class last night prompted
his classmates to recognize the
ties that bind all juniors one.
Abbreviating his challenge for
class consciousness, Graham
brought Student council repre
sentative from the junior class,
Bob Magill, to the platform to
explain the set-up of the new
class honor councils, elected last
spring to effect an improvement
in the Carolina honor system.
More Sympathy
The councils will give class
mates more sympathetic hear
ings than the Student council,
indicated Magill, and the spread
of responsibility to a represent
ative group of reliables will pro
vide increased- general student
participation in the administra
tion and cultivation of the sys
tem.
Lively exchange of comments
by Class Members Newton
Craig, Lawrence Hinkle, Jack
Tate, Leighton Dudley, Herbert
Katzenstein, and one or two of
the other 75 present indicated
general concern in the honor
system and its future.

to the University halls led to
such extravagance as sea-green

Noble Half -Dozen

CLASS LOYALTY
Parker Discusses ClaSS

We are deteriorating from
a class bound together by ties of
auu ciass priae, mio a
Heterogeneous group of college
students, all intent upon the pur-
Pse of getting out at the other
end by June, 1937," said Senior
President Niles Bond to the
class of '37 in Memorial hall last
night.
Around 20 per cent of the
class were present.
The class spirit of this class its
freshman year was pointed out
by Bond. He stated that at that
time the class was held together
by the fact that we were all
paced by the same problems, the
same cnance to succeed or iail."
During the next two years, he
said, this class consciousness was
relegated to the background as
'barriers arose within the class.
Last Turn
"Then suddenly we awoke last
September to discover that we
had rounded the last .turn that
we were seniors and going into
the home stretch in this so-called
college career." This facthe
pointed out, is beginning to re
awaken the class spirit.
Bond then discussed the honor
councils. "If there be any truly
wholesome class - consciousness
alive among us, there is bound
to be a class honor-consciousness
an awareness that we have
and must maintain among us a
level of honor, the plane of
which depends upon us as indi
viduals, and upon us alone. .

student body, was the next to
speak. Marvin Allen, Joe Greer,
