DR. JAY F. W. PEARSON
He Explains
Med School Attacked By ‘Prof Board
(■ Modern School, See Pape 9.) i
The University’s School of Medicine this week came under fire from the American Association of University Professors.
The Spring issue of the | AAUP Bulletin includes a critical report on faculty-administration relationships at UM's Med School. The report will be discussed, and possible action taken, at the annual meeting of j the AAUP, to be held in Boston j on April 21 and 22.
It charged “serious violation of academic freedom and tenure."
“We appreciate the interest of the AAUP and its sincere desire to be helpful," said UM President Jay F. W. Pearson.
“My personal feeling is that everyone concerned at the Medical School and in general University administration has been guided consistently in his actions by what he sincerely believed was in the best interest of the University.”
The report mentions disputes which have arisen, chiefly in the Department of Surgery, “resulting in particular burdens for some members of the staff, although the most extreme actions have been corrected.”
It stemmed from the firing and re-instiatement of four professors of surgery and the removal of Dr. John J. Farrell as the head of the Surgery Department and his later re-instatement.
The moves took place from August, 1959, to January, 1960.

2nd Most In The SE
Six UM seniors have been awarded Woodrow Wilson Fellowships, it was announced Wednesday.
This makes the LTM the second largest university group to win the Wilson awards in the Southeast. Florida State University was first with seven winners.
Said Dr. John I. McCollum, chairman of the UM English Department and the University’s representative to the national foundation:
"1 think the achievements of the University in the last two or three years in national competition indicate that the teachers and students cer-lanly have a great deal of pride in what is happening on rampus.
“Our record is outstanding, and I have no fears concerning the success of students such as these.”
Three of the Woodrow Wilson
recipients are in the Philosophy Department. They are Althea Ketchum, Steven Guiner and Marvin Schiller.
Other winners are Eleanor Friedl, French; John Granrose, psychology, and Richard Laughlin, English.
In addition, six other UM students and one English teacher received honorable mention. The teacher is Wayne P. Lindquist, and the students are Estelle Cheve-lier. Susan Dunkel. Steven Englander. Frank Edward La Rosa. John Pietrofesa and Theodore Provder.
The UM nominated 30 students in all for the competition. University teachers did the nominating.
The six winners can attend any college or university in the U. S. or Canada for one year’s giaduate study.
They must consider college teaching as a possible career.
Sir Hugh Taylor, president of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, said that most of the students receiving honorable mention will get alternate awards from the universities.
He estimated the total value of the 1961-62 national awards at $3 million.

The Curious Animals In Our Zoo Parade
“Jackie,” a three-foot high creature resembling a baby dinosaur, decided to look over the campus this week— perched on the shoulder of a freshman.
The green iguana was bought in South Miami by Ken Roy and his date, Jackie Wiley, for a Phi Delta Theta social fraternity party last Saturday night.
"We wanted to look a little different than the usual shipwrecked people,” Roy said.

After the dance, they sold the iguana to Dave Huebner, another Phi Delt.
And Tuesday, Huebner came to school with "Jackie” on his shoulder.

“You should have seen the expressions on some of the faces of those who saw the pet,” Huebner remarked. “You would have flipped; it was wild, simply wild.”

"Angel,” the leopard-like mascot of Alpha Tau Omega social fraternity, completely vanished this week — then mysteriously reappeared some 400 miles away at an aunt’s house.
The chapter was in a dither when it couldn't find the animal, an ocelot, and its official owner, a former Florida State University brother who had been working in Miami.
One member finally solved

the problem Tuesday: “Oh, I forgot to tell you guys. 'Angel’s' staying at our FSU brother’s aunt's house upstate in Tallahassee. He went to look for a job up
there and took the young ocelot with him.”
Said another member: “I was wondering why we hadn’t seen our own ‘Angel’ in ages.”
