FEBRUARY U. 19~5 '~ -- _-__, ._.. _ e,_ Sorority Women May Now Apply for Panhel Grants INFERIOR TRAINING: Rise in Foreign Medical Students Seen by Dean, Museum Exhibits Flora, Fauna Panhelenic Association's newly- created system of-grants for af- filiated women will go into effect this semester. Awarded on the basis of need, the grants will come from Pan- hel's emergency fund. The fund was set .lp to put additional grant money into circulation according to Marlene Jaffa, '55, Panhel Public Relations chairman. Dean of Women Deborah Bacon pointed out that proportionally fewer sorority women get Univer- sity grants because there is less need in sororities than among other groups. In certain cases Dean Bacon said the University will suggest to a woman applying for a grant that sorority living is a way of life beyond her financial capabil-I ities. . There is however no University policy on grants, she explained. Each case must be considered on its individual merits. Panhel grants may be obtained by petitioning to the organiza- tion's financial committee which interviews all applicants. IHC Open House Intei'-House Council will hold an open house in their office, Rm. 3D in the Union 3 to 5 p.m. today and 9 a.m. to noon tomorrow. All IHC officers will be on hand to answer questions about the or-I ganization. Anyone interested may attend, Stan Levy, '55, IHC presi- dent said. TAX RADIO DISPATCHED VETERAN'S CAB NO 2.4477 Graduates from American medi- cal schools may soon be outnum- bered by foreign-trained medical students, according to Dean of the Medical School Albert C. Furstenberg. Speaking at the annual Con- gress of Medical Education and Licensure Tuesday, Dean Fursten- berg estimated the United States may have between five and 10 thousand foreign medical men seeking opportunity to practice here in 1955. The Dean pointed out this num- ber is increasing every year. Amer- ican medical schools, he said, graduate between six and seven thousand students annually. Cites Challenge "What is to be done with the foreign-trained medical student?" Dean Furstenberg asked, com- menting, "Here we have a real challenge shared alike and un- avoidably by our medical schools and the State Boards of Regis- tration in Medicine." Claiming that no U.S. medical Research Funds Given to Faculty Grants of more than $78,000 have been made to faculty mem- bers for research and research equipment, Dean of the Rackham School of Graduate Studies Ralph A. Sawyer announced recently. Included in the grants are re- search projects on such subjects as the structure and functioning of farm families, child rearing and adult pathology, microscopic in- vestigations of fossil plants and a book on Gothic structure. All grants were effective Jan- uary 1 with funds being available through the school twice yearly. school seeks to discriminate un- fairly against foreign medical stu- dents, Dean Furstenberg declared that reports from educators who have visited foreign schools are for the most part unfavorable. Reports show, the Dean said, that foreign schools .often offer curricula inferior to those of American schools and the vast ma- jority of foreign graduates in medicine are "no match intellec- tually" for American graduates. Foreign Doctors Obstacle Dr. Furstenberg said entering foreign-trained doctors are "in most instances° so inferior they constitute a definite obstacle to the progress of American class- mates with whom they are. asso- ciated." Language barrier 'was listed by the Dean as one of the problems faced by foreign medical students and American professors. Dean Furstenberg set up a four point list of recommendations: 1) Set up screening boards which would give oral exams to the for- eign-educated doctor; 2) Passing such an exam, the doctor would qualify for ftrmal examination by the State Board of Registration; 3) Rejected candidates would take a minimum of one year in a basic science course in a class A medical school; 4) The candidate would then be re-examined by the screening board. The Medical School Dean said, "It should be incumbent upon the foreign doctor to accept our phil- osophy of education, acquire the knowledge essential to medical practice, and meet our standards of competence if he is to be grant- ed the privilege of practicing medi- cine in the United States. PLANTS and animals from land anad under the sea in assorted shapes and sizes occupy many of the show cases of the University museum. From corals and other marine animals which flourished in an- cient Michigan seas to models of Michigan f u n g i diversification seems to be the rule. The many colored dioramas pic- ture scenes of coral reefs, deep sea life, the Central American rain forest and cave adaptatidns among others. Models and Mounts Models and mounts of fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals are displayed in natural surroundings and home life. One of the largest showcases contains mounts of about all the birds familiar to man, from the large nawk to the small winter wren. In covered cases for added pro- tection are different birds' eggs and Michigan mollusks. Various fish found in and around the state are also presented, including the frogs, toads and salamanders. Assorted Flora A lighted pedastal case contains insects embedded in Baltic amber. Another showcase is devoted to assorted kinds of lethal plants. Pictured below is an amanita verna, the most poisonous of all mushrooms. It is a fairly common species in the sate. In a four-part diorama exhibi- tion ease is pictured the seasonal activities of the northern Michigan Chippewa Indians. The picture included shows their winter season of hunting and fish- ing. The other scenes portrayed show the Indians gathering; wild rice, making maple sugar and in an initiation ceremony.
