IT THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY.JUNE 26, LASH APPROPRIATION: Legislature May Force Veterans Center Closing (Continued from Page 1) Warner has claimed that the center "in my. opinion is overly expensive," and that "state veter- ans groups don't want to continue it,, He also reiterated a statement he has made previously: "There has been lots of confusion on what is taking place. In particular, vet- erans' groups in Washtenaw Coun- ites Grades, U'Growth University President - Emeritus Alexander Grant Ruthven com- pared the University of today with that which he knew and comment- ed upon what it will likely become in several years in an interview before a recent ceremonial dinner in his honor. He said that the tendency today to put increasing emphasis on grades is unfortunate and added that he feels "we have to realize that grades are not the only cri- terion for judging a student's ex- cellence . . a fairer way would be to 'consult the opinions of peo- ple who have known the student's background.", Teen-age Projection He also reflected on the chang- ing student attitudes. "It seems to me many students here now with the idea that it's their job to re- organize the University - they come up with the weirdest ideas . , now you see .fellows going off the deep end and calling it aca-= demic freedom. They call them- selves young adults, but they are really just projecting teen-age thinking, he said. During the Ruthven administra- tion, which lasted from 1929 to 1951, research was emphasized. Ruthven commented that while he was a student research was limit- ed to instructors' spare time, and that they were not paid for such work. Part of Program "We gradually developed the idea that research should be part of a well-balanced program of in- struction. That was the beginning of the encouraging of the original investigations which . .. have run away with the ball at times." He speculated that research could eventually pull many teach- ers from the classroom and sug- gested that "research might better be done in the labs of industries." ty have been misinformed and mis- led by some people at the Univer- sity." However, Dr. M. M. Frolich, di- rector of the VRC, has some dif- fering opinions. "It would be a tragic loss for the University and the state if the center were not continued," he said. Most Advanced "It is the most advanced psychi- atric treatment facility in the state, and one of the two or three best in the country." It would be almost impossible to start out a completely new center of this sort; even the well-established psychi- atric clinics have equipment and personnel shortages." The VRC treats from 275 to 300 patients per year, at an average cost of $10,000 for each occupied patient bed, as compared to $2,- 000 in state hospitals. But, Dr. Frolich said, for five times the cost, "50 times as much treatment is given. For each case of chronic mental illness we cure, the sta'te is saved a total of $70,- 000." Sharp Blow Dr. Raymond W. Waggoner, chairman of the psychiatry depart- ment, added that the disbanding of the center would be a sharp blow to the training of qualified psychiatric personnel, in "short supply" around the country. "One quarter of the psychiatry depart- ment's training program involves working at the VRC," he pointed out. Thirty-three in-patients and 70 out-patients currently are being treated. The $50,000 "phase-out" appropriation would be used to complete the treatment for these patients. Rep. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Ar- bor), a supporter of the VRC, said that if the amendment is success- ful, but only for a fraction of $346,000, "perhaps the Legislature would allow paying patients to en- ter, so that some of the operating expenses could be defrayed." Treat- ment for the patients, who are veterans of World War II and the Korean War, is free at present. Dispute Claim William A. Rose, commander of a group comprising 17 veterans or- ganizations in Washtenaw County, disputed Warner's claims about veterans' opinions toward the cen- ter. "Veterans as a composite group are absolutely not in favor of closing the VRC," he said. Rose and Dr. Waggoner ex- pressed puzzlement over the ap- parent change in attitude by War- ner toward the center. They said that Warner had promised "he would give as much support as he could to the VRC." The representative said Friday that when the 13-member House Ways and Means Committee was debating the VRC appropriation, only he and one other member favored the traditional sum, with the other 11 men voting to make the slash. "And it wasn't a parti- san issue at all," he said. Some time after the committee's deliberations, Warner met on June 6 with spokesmen for six veterans organizations. At this meeting, Warner said, the veterans criticiz- ed the center, and made the charge of "being misinformed and misled." However, Rose claimed that Warner pressured the veterans into making these statements. "Since then, several of the commanders who voted for dissolution of the VRC have retracted." As to being "misinformed and misled," Dr. Frolich said that no veterans group or patient had ever made this complaint to him. iscoutrecords,,1 ANN ARBOR'S LARGEST RECORD SHOP WITH THE MOST COMPLETE STOCK OF MONAURAL AND STEREO LP's, IMPORTS, FOLK MUSIC, SHOWS AND FILMS CLASSICS, POPS AND MANY HARD TO GET ITEMS ANNUAL.

In an afternoon paper entitled "The Epidemiology of Cancer," Prof. Abraham M. Lilienfeld of Johns Hopkins University cited the great increase in mortality among men from lung cancer. 'Not Single Disease' He also said that, "Cancer is not a single disease, particularly from an epidemiological viewpoint; it is a family of related diseases." Prof. Lilienfeld noted that cancers are affected by such factors as socioeconomic status, living habits, and genetic factors. Three major reports were made available. In a statement of the United States Public Health Serv- ice Dr. Leroy E. Burney concluded that, "The weight of evidence at present implicates smoking as the principal etiological factor in the increased incidence of lung can- cer." Dorn Study A report of Harold F. Dorn said that a study of 200,000 life insur- a n c e policyholders contributed "striking evidence" of a link be- tween smoking and lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, ulcers, and cirrhosis of the liver. A paper of Dr. Lewis C. Robbins of Washington indicated that one still should not be convinced by present evidence. Haber To Extend Federal Service Prof. William Haber, chairman' of the economics department, has agreed to serve for another year on the National Public Advisory Committee on Area Readjustment, an agency dealing with unemploy- ment and underemployment.
