Mur- phy at a meeting-of the American Medical Association Tuesday. According .to Prof. Murphy, three new lines -:of, investigation have produced evidence which ap- parently links leukemia, a cancer- like disease of the blood, to vi- ruses. His current deport concerns re- sults of continued efforts to prove that viruses are actually connect- ed with the disease; that viruses he and his colleagues have found really are viruses; and that anti- bodies to these viruses may exist. Three Points Regarding the discovered "agents," believed to be viruses, Dr. Murphy stressed three points. First, the agents have at least eight important physical qualities' similar to viruses. Second, after the agents were isolated in the laboratory and sub- sequently injected into mice, the mice got something so "similar to leukemia as to be indistinguish- able." Third, five to 50 per cent of normial children were found to have in their blood antibodies to the different viruses isolated. Although virologists in the Unit- ed States and England have found what they believe may be viruses of leukemia, Prof. Murpry and his co-workers were the first to dem- onstrate leukemia - associated agents that cause a similar dis- ease in animals. The University research has dealt with a large number of cases, including 26 children and 14 adults who had leukemia. There have been control studies of more than 100 people who are free of leukemia, for purposes of compar- ison. Two kinds of acute leukemia in children are included in the study: stem-cell leukemia, which repre- sents 95 per cent of all cases of the disease, and grancytic leuke- mia. Extensive Studies Extensive antibody studies were made. Dr. Murphy found that 90 per cent of children with stem- cell leukemia had antibodies to one of the agents isolated from a child with stem-like leukemia. For the most part, children with stem-cell leukemia did not have antibodies to the other three test agents. Surprisingly, normal adults did not have antibodies to any of the agents. Virus-like agents similar to those associated with leukemia were iso- lated from a child with acute dupus erythematosus, a usually fatal disease of connective tissue affecting various organs, cause unknown. Adults with leukemia had an- Libodies to this LE-associated agent. Cautioning his audience that none of the three lines of re- search was conclusive by itself,' Prof. Murphy said that the total body of evidence seems to make a "reasonably strong case connect- 'U' Medical Center Defines System Of Body Energy SAN FRINCISCO-A delicate system of body chemistry which automatically mobilizes energy for emergencies has been defined by doctors at the University Medical Center. The high school and college diploma, which now imply the completion of studies, should give way to a "Certificate of Transfer" to further instruction, Prof. Howard Y. McClusky declared yes- terday. "We need to scrap the impos- sible notion that in 12, 14 or 16 years one can acquire enough knowledge to last a lifetime," said McClusky, a consultant in adult education. "The ultimate test of formal schooling for youth should be the extent to which it contributes to a lifetime of learning," he stated. The school dropout represents a tragic loss in a continuously "learning society," according to the University educator. "He might withdraw temporarily to work, with a built-in plan to return for later study, or he might drop out ing the isolated agents to leuke- In a report prepared for the mia in children, although substan- American Medical Association's tial additional evidence will be annual meeting here, the re- needed." searchers said one of the key in- gredients is a hormone-like chemi- * i n{Paten,* cal tailed a "lipid mobilizer.

"But in a learning society the act of dropping out could never be accepted as determining the final status of the pupil as a learner. The student would be presented with multiple opportun- ities for instruction until he finds something that enlists his talents and keeps alive his interest in learning. "The days are gone when a dropout could secure a respectable foothold in the economy. Drop- ping out of school today too often means the end of organized learn- ing. The early dropout is usually condemned to a low social status. "I much closer link is needed between the school and the agen- cies in the community," says Mc- Clusky. "We must surround the pupil with a knowledge of the connections between what he has started in school and the programs he can turn to for continuing these pursuits in later years.

Conducted by Prof. Jack Gor- man of Loyola University in Los Angeles, the one-man poll-based on self-devised scientific criteria- listed Princeton, Harvard, Yale, and Cornell ahead of the Univer- sity. Columbia, the University of California at Berkeley, Chicago, Oberlin and Swarthmore scored behind the University. A separate classification notch- ed the University as the top state- supported school with California at Berkeley in second place. Gorman gathered information from other 1100 schools by mail and telephone, seeking responses on questions of fellowships, fresh- man programs, curriculum, quali- fications for -teachers and other facets of the academic offerings. He explained his purpose as a "belief that that evaluating aca- dtmic excellence will assist stu- dents in their choices of schools." Dial 8-6416!
