PAGE TEN '.i' lE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3. 1967 PAGE TEN TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY IN PLANNING STAGE: National Service Pro gram Begun Research Collegiate Press Service WASHINGTON-A small-scale "national service" program could be initiated within the next few years, if support comes from the right quarters. Such a program would give young people the opportunity to serve their country in non-mili- tary endeavors and would meet educational and manpower needs. Interested young people would be matched with service opportuni- ties consistent with both the needs of the nation and with their own education and skills. The concept of universal na- tional service has been widely dis- cussed in recent years. But, al- though the idea has been sup- ported by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, it has never received wide-spread support, pri- marily because of the conflict with the draft. But now, a non-profit organi- zation called the National Service Secretariat is seeking support for a national service program which would be as far removed from the Selective Service System as pos- sible. The secretariat is supported by private funds, not by the gov- ernment. Donald Eberly, executive direc- tor of the secretariat, said his or- ganization is attempting to set up a network of service opportunities which would work somewhat like a computer dating system. For instance, young persons interested in working for about two years in some service agency would feed information about them- selves into a computer. The com- puter, in turn, would match each individual with the service activ- ity best suited for him. Eberly sees the program supply- ing young people to work in such fields as education, health, con- servation, community seryice, and overseas assistance. Existing agencies, such as the Peace Corps, the Job Corps, VISTA, and the Red Cross may participate in the program and receive volunteers. But the scope of the program would be almost unlimited, Eberly said. "Oppor-t tunities would be open for some- one to work in a hospital in Newt York or to teach in Appalachia,1 for example." Eberly will be sending out a proposal explaining the programr and seeking support within the near future. The proposal, which came out of a conference on na- tional service last spring, will be sent to both government and1 private agencies. If service agencies are anxious to cooperate, and if enough fi- nancial support is received from private foundations and industry,; the program possibly could start, on a small-scale in a few years- But Eberly thinks an effective; national service program - one that would pay subsistence costs of service activities for all young- people-will have to be under- written by the government be- cause of high costs ($4-$5,000 per volunteer). And it is unlikely that the government will support the program fully as long as the Vietnam war continues. "It will probably be a decade or two, perhaps by 1980, before we have a universal program," Eber- ly said. 'The program would be univer- sal in the sense of providing service opportunities for all young people, men and women, regard- less of their financial status or educationalbackground," Eberly said. He explains that, tradition- ally, volunteer service agencies have attracted only middle-and upper-class people because they are the only ones who can afford it. "A 20-year-old who had to sup- port his family would be given a family allowance to send back home," Eberly said. "This way everyone would have the same opportunity.' Although the secretariat wants to disassociate the program with the draft, Eberly admits this is almost impossible. "As long as the draft exists, it will affect the number of people interested in the program," he said. (Continued from Page 1) not yet determined the causes of these defects, Dr. Brown asserts. "Yet, only by finding the causes of these defects can we hope to learn how to prevent them. Proof that one or another virus infection in pregnant women cause the baby's defects could lead to the develop- ment of vaccines to prevent these tragedies." There is already a vaccine for! viral disease known to cause birth defects: German measles. Besides' confirming the association of Cox- saxie B with congenital heart dis- ease, Dr. Brown also hopes to learn whether other common viruses, ECHO-9 and influenza, can harm an unborn child. Animal sperm cells stored for al- most three years have been used to produce pregnancies in the re- search of Dr. Samuel J. Behrman, director of the Center for Research in Reproductive Biology. Freshly taken cells, in the research, are preserved with an egg yolk nutri- ent and glycerol before being frozen with liquid nitrogen. Identify, Produce' "Someday it should be possible," Dr. Behrman says, "to identify the chromosomes responsible for cer- tain characteristics and produce aI child with exactly th6 character- istics desired," Dr. Behrman ex- plained. "We have been able to suspend the male cell for up to two and a half years and still obtain preg- nancies. There is every reason to believe that this suspension can be prolonged indefinitely." Dr. Behrman is currently en- gaged in a study to determine whether the "IQ and development of the children produced by artifi- cial insemination are normal." Preliminary indications are "that they are no less well developed." He stressed that this work is only a prelude to the future freezing of an entire human body for later restoration. Dr. Behrman is also working on new methods of contraception, in- cluding a "morning after" pill which would prevent the implanta- tion of the fertilized egg within the uterus. A second possibility being explored by Dr. Behrman and his associates is a "pregnancy vaccine" which would immunize a woman against pregnancy for -MU Yields Health Gains months at a time Although very One control group was given a WE'VE RENTED AN ISLAND FOR YOU successful on animals he warns pill containing Dexedrine, three that use on humans is still a long groups pills with various doses of way off.
