APPLIED SCIENCE:
Regents OK Research Center
The Regents approved at their
meeting last Friday the establish-
ment of a riewresearch center to
work on problems involved in put-
ting new scientific knowledge into
effective use.
The Center for' Research on
Utilization of Scientific Knowledge
will be a unit of the University's
Institute for Social Research.
Prof. Floyd C. Mann, of the psy-
chology department and a pro-
gram director of the Survey Re-
search Center of ISR will be its
director. The center will begin
operations July 1.
University Vice-President for
Academic Affairs Roger W. Heyns
noted that "the University is mak-
ing a pioneering step" in estab-
lishing the center. "The center
will function as a type of en-
gineeringi.for the social sciences,
showing practical applications and
scientific uses .for what is learned
about scientific organization.
These functions are not now well
developed in the social sciences,"
he explained.
Use of Knowledge
Reason for establishment of the
center is the "large and rapidly
growing gap between the creation
of new knowledge by scientific re-
search and the full use of this
new >knowledge,"according to a
report f',the faculty committee
which proposed the new organiza-
tion.-
In 1963, the committee noted,
the United States spent $16-billion
on research and development, but
very little work has been done on
the problems of storing, dissemi-
nating, and applying the new
knowledge which results from such
research.
Threeobjectives for the center
were approved by the Regents.
First, it will conduct studies and

Kauper Tags Measure
By Meader 'Coercive'
Prof. Paul G. Kauper of the
Law School had a hand last month!
in influencing the House JudiciaryI
Committee in its debate over a
proposed constitutional amend-
ment to allow prayers in public
schools.
In testimony before the com-
mittee hearings on the constitu-
tional amendment proposed by
Rep. Frank Becker (R-NY) to
override recent Supreme Court de-
cisions banning compulsory pray-
ers, Kauper warned that such an
amendment would leave the states .
"constitutionally free to engage in
distinctively sectarian practices,
favoring one or more religions .
over others."

"We are entering the golden
age o~f genetics, in which we
will make important discoveries
about the internal factors that
affect man, as we have in the past
learned about the external factors
that affect him," Prof. James V.
Neel said recently.
Prof. Neel, chairman of the
University's human genetics de-
partmnent, Vice-President for Aca-
demic Affairs Roger W. Heyns,
and Dean William N. Hubbard
Jr., of the MedicalSchool, spoke
at dedication ceremonies for the
new Lawrence D. Buhl Research
Center for Human Genetics here.
Other University officials, Re-
gents and members of the Buhl
family were among a capacity au-
dience that attended the cere-
monies, held in a tent pitched be-
tween the new building and the
nursing school building.
Initial Gift
The Buhl foundation provided
the initial gift for the $506,800
building, with the remainder of
the necessary funds coming from
a matching federal grant.
Prof. Neel also revealed to. the
audience that 'additional human
genetics research space will be
provided in the University's $10
million Medical Science Bldg. II,
which will be attached to the
Buhl Research Center Bldg. Start
of construction of the second
medical science structure is ex-
pected within the coming year.
Researchers' Goal
Pointing out that it is the goal
of researchers in the new build-
ing to "uncover new knowledge for
the benefit of mankind," Heyns
called it "a facility in which we
have great pride, and one for
which we have great hopes."
In an earlier scientific pro-
gram in connection with the dedi-
cation, Nobel Prize winner Prof.,
Edward L. Tatum of the Rocke-
feller Institute spoke on "Molec-
ular Genetics in Human Biology,"
while Prof. Curt Stern of the Uni-
versity of California, another of
the world's leading geneticists,
spoke on "Genetic Mosaics in Ani-
mal and Man."
