PRE-MEDICAL ADVISING AT RADCLIFFE

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

In reporting the appointment of a pre-medical advisor for North House, the CRIMSON on Thursday gave a very misleading picture of pre-medical advising in the other Houses. One of the first associates appointed when East House opened its doors was Professor Manfred Karnovsky of Harvard Medical School, and subsequently a practicing physician and psychiatrist, Dr. Elizabeth Reid, was added. Not only have these two been constantly available at East House, eating lunch there frequently with students, but last term they organized a special pre-medical evening with invited staff members from the Medical School, at which many aspects of a medical career and of pre-medical training were discussed. perhaps the students who "complained about the present dearth of advice" should rather have complained about their own failure to make use of the advice available.
