Fralick Says Nearsightedness Result of Heredity, Not Strain Nearsightedness, in most cases, is not a result of much close work or poor lighting, but a result of heredity. This is now a well established fact among those who study and care for vision. Dr. Francis B. Fra- lick of the medical school pointed out nearsightedness and far- sightedness result, in part, from heredity. All A .Records lHade by 126 All A records were achieved by 126 students in nine of the Univer- sity's schools and colleges during the fall semester. A breakdown of the total num- ber of students shows that the College of Literature, Science and the Arts had 90; College of Engi- neering, 12; School of Education, seven; School of Architecture and Design, five; School of Music, five; School of Natural Resources, two; College of Pharmacy, two; School of Public Health, two, and School of Nursing, one. "USING EYES does not cause nearsightedness," Dr. Fralick said, "for if it did, then all students and faculty members would be near- sighted." He explained that students' and faculty's eyes are afflicted with nothing more than fatigue. Nearsightedness used to be blamed on close work and poor lighting, but it was found to ex- ist among farmers who do a min- imum amount of close work and among primitive tribes where peo- ple do no reading at all. Studies were made and it was concluded that all pronounced forms of nearsightedness are hereditary. Astigmatism occurring to a marked degree was also found to be inherited, but almost everyone has some astigmatism. Astigma- tism may be explained in the fol- lowing way: The outside cover- ing of the eye, the cornea, should have a curvature like a tennis ball. When astigmatism occurs, the shape of the cornea is more like that of a football.

BEGINS IFC PROGRAM: House Stewards To Meet Initiating a program of steward education t h e Interfraternity Council is holding its first meeting of house stewards at 7:30 p.m. to- day in the Union. The program was established by fraternity presidents at their March 2 meeting to bring stewards from the 44 houses together for discussion of mutual problems and hear experts- on food buying and preparation. REPRESENTATIVES will be elected from the stewards for each of the five fraternity districts on campus. They will form a steward guidance council and work with the IFC and the houses in their district to implement the program. The steward program is an outgrowthaofstudies by the IF and individual house stewards on the food buying problem. Instances of short weighing and set prices on certain commodities regardless of the amount in which they are bought have been cited by a number of houses. Under the new program, ideas for effecting economies in their #1, I. kitchens and for taking advantage of quantity buying will be discus- sed. The program has been set up under the IFC Co-ordinating Committee headed by Dave Smerling, '55. According to John Baity, '55, IFC executive vice-president, es- tablishment of the steward train- ing program is a step in the di- rection of a future program of cooperative buying. Accountants Group Officers of the National Asso- ciation of Cost Accountants will visit Ann Arbor today to present a charter to a local chapter of the association. Prof. William J. Schlatter of the School of Business Administration, has been nominated for a posi- tion on the board of directors of the newly-formed local chapter. a; Nancy Born, '53, takes the fe- ale lead, that of a girl re- orter who writes up Jones' ex- erience for The Daily.
