Dr. Theodore D. Sterling, direc- tor of the Biomedical Computing Center at the University of Cin- cinnati, explained present and fu- ture uses of computers in cancer treatment. Whenever radiologists plan X- ray treatments for cancer victims, Dr. Sterling said, "the treatment of all patients has improved im- mensely." The computer helps de- termine the application of the ra- Ciation to the afflicted area, cut- ting down on radiation hitting halthy tissue.

Dr. Sterling told the Institute, "Both diagnosis and treatment are now based on relatively crude ob- .'rvations of antecedent condi- tions and their consequences. "Tools are lacking for finding the patterns of signs, symptoms and characteristics that determine precise diagnoses or the conse- quences of particular treatments. These patterns will be unearthed by the use of computer tech- niques." Unlimited Field, Too Dr. Sterling emphasized that it is impossible to see the limits of the medical advances possible through computers. "We must rely on man's ingenui- ty to reap dividends which invar- iably come with his increased knowledge." Dr. Frank W. Reynolds is co- ordinator of the week-long Cancer Institute, which is being attended by 50 public health physicians and nurses, and officers of govern- ment and voluntary agencies ac- tive in the field. The National Cancer Institute, American Cancer Society and the Michigan Cancer Coordinating Commission are among the sev- eral groups co-sponsoring the In- stitute with the public health school. The Institute will continue its program today with a lecture on "Resources for Cancer Control" at 9 a.m. in the afternoon Prof. Frank W. Reynolds of the public health school will give an address on "Community Cancer Control Programs" at 1:30 p.m. Both will be held in Rm. 3042 of the public health school. "Library 21," an exhibition sponsored by the American Library Association at the Seattle World's Fair, was designed to boost inter- est and participation in local li- braries and to show the advance being made in library science. The display featured machines (including photo and microfilm copying machines, a UNIVAC com- puter and a modern language lab-j oratory employing color films as well as sound recordings) which will be used in schools and librar- ies relatively soon, Albert J. Miller said yesterday. Miller, taking a graduate course in library science at the Univer- sity this summer, is a librarian for the Butler, Pa., school system and was recently sent by the ALA to work at the World's Fair exhibi- tion. U.S. Pays for Trip "About 70 librarians will be sent to the Fair all told," he said. "Fifteen or so are sent each month by the ALA. They're select- ed by local project directors, and the trips are sponsored by a grant from the United States Office of Education," Miller explained. The librarians operate machin- ery and show tourists visiting the "Library 21" display how new tech- niques are used. However, in addi- tion, there are some displays at the exhibition which visitors may operate themselves. f r 4 W e LIBRARY COMPUTER-The American Library exhibition at the Seattle World's Fair displays a UNIVAC computer (similar to the one pictured above) programmed to enable tourists to find out the titles of reference books on several hundred topics. T 1 :, -Daily-Michael de Gaetano HOSPITAL HELPER-Patients don't have to wait for their bills very long at the University Hospital any more. RAMAC, a computer being rented by the the hospital from a private firm, now produces a record of patients' bills within 45 seconds, instead of 20 minutes previously needed by non-machine efforts. There are only four such computers in the country. Although still having "a few bugs," RA- MAC will by fall keep track of out-patients' bills in addition to the in-patients now processed, hospital business manager Ernest Laetz said. And within the next two years, it will compile inventory and budget data as well. !n TI Hold ProgramRECREAT For English Ann.

It has two bathing beach- es, mnic facilities, and provision for many outdoor sports. South Kent Lake is -the largest in this area. The Waterloo and Highland Recreation Areas are the farthest from the campus, being 30 and 38 miles northwest away, respective- ly. These areas contain beaches, extensive woodland, and a water- fowl sanctuary. Sport Skills For the less-rugged individual,! there are many opportunities for Schwartz Sets Talk on Russia Harry Schwartz, member of the New York Times editorial board and an authority on the Soviet Union, will speak on "Political and Economic Tensions in the USSR" at 4:10 p.m. today in Aud. A. Schwartz has just returned from accompanyinghSoviet Premier Ni- kita Khrushchev on the Russian leader's recent tour of Rumania. He is also an author of "Red Phoe- nix" and other works on the So- viet Union. The lecture, open to the public, is being sponsored jointly by the Summer Session and by the Cen- ter for Russian Studies. indoor sports and learning new skills and handicrafts. Men can swim at the Michigan Union from noon to 9 p.m. daily. Women can swim at the Women's pool from 5:20 p.m. to 6:10 p.m. Monday and Wednesday; from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday; and from 8:10 to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday. For the student who craves a more intellectual form of relaxa- tion, pool, billiards, and chess are offered at the Union. For the new, and older student,' the campus itself offers many at- tractions. A visit to any one of the museums will occupy an after- noon's time. The Natural History Museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily except Sunday, when it opens at 1 p.m. and closes at 5 p.m. The Kelsey Museum is open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily Law Quad The Law Quadrangle, contain- ing four buildings in collegiate Gothic style, isnan attraction for the new students The Phoenix Memorial Labora- tory, housing the one million watt nuclear reactor, is interesting for the new visitor and old alike. The University's fine library sys- tem, acclaimed the world over, is an attraction for visitors, as are the periodic concerts of the bells in Burton Tower. The 100,000 seat Stadium is also of interest to many sightseers. "That's why so many came to the 'Library 21' building-they lik- ed the souvenirs they received from us. Between 50,000 and 60,000 peo- ple came to the displays daily dur- ing the time I was there, and more than 68,000 Fair visitors were re- ported to have come to our ex- hibit one day," Miller added. These displays, which attract the bulk of "Library 21" visitors, prom- ise relief for students suffering nervous exhaustion and writer's cramp incurred during long and often futile searches for reference materials. one display, a UNIVAC compu- ter, was programmed especially to aid people having to do a lot of reference work. Provides Information There are three programs in the machine's "memory" section. The first section, "World Gaze- teer," provides the titles of ref- erence information on more than 90 nations. The second, "Great Ideas," gives names of works by ancient and modern philosophers and men of letters on "Man, Happiness, Pun- ishment, Family, Liberty, and God." The last section is a "Personal- ized Reading List," which permits a researcher to learn of informa- tion on almost any other given topic. For Second Wait Miller wanted information on mental health and, after having filled out the appropriate informa- tion cards for "Personalized Read- ing," he had to wait about four seconds for the computer to be fed the information and was im- mediately presented with a list of eight books on mental health. He added that this was probably the most popular display., The exhibit also featured a lan- guage laboratory showing a film entitled "Je Parle Francais," de- signed to aid people learning ele- mentary French. Three Dimensional Learning "The idea behind this type of language lab, as opposed to one like the University's, is that this provides three dimensional lan- guage learning and permits; the pupil to learn more about French culture and scenery," Miller said. "However, despite its expense, many schools are considering hav- ing it installed since it really is quite effective," he added. "Library 21" also had operating a display showing the use of mi- crocards, small plastic cards (about 2.5 by four inches) on which re- duced reproductions of normal- sized pages are stored. On one microcard it is possible to have reproductions of about 48 pages. Fine for Cribbing Naturally, it is possible to read these only through the use of a machine designed to enlarge the reproductions. "Otherwise, they'd be fine for cribbing on exams," Miller admitted. An exhibit of some of Miller's souvenirs from his work at the* Fair will be on display at the Gen- eral Library next week, he said. Wickens To View School Psychology Prof. Delos D. Wickens of the Ohio State University psycholpgy department will lecture on impli- cations for classroom teaching of research and theory on the psy- chology of learning at. 2 p.m. to- day in Aud. A.

Aft- er 10monutes, however, she must serve an hour and a half of late time. Set Meeting Miss Portnoy and other Judic officials will attempt to meet with Mrs. Davenport during orienhttion week so that the changes can be made as soon as possible. They had met once shortly after the close of the spring semester to arrive at a consensus on the basic decision. Mrs. Davenport said at that time the changes would prob- ably be made, then announced the final decision yesterday as a copy of the revised set of women's rules came by mail from Miss Portnoy: Mrs. Davenport elaborated on the difficulty facing the institu- tion of the new regulations. Possibilities The toughest problem, of course, is the protection of senior women's privileges from abuse by others. "One suggestion was that all seniors live in one dorm," she said. "This, however, would ob- viously restrict their freedom." Another possibility was to estab- lish some sort of electronic eye, with seniors provided punch cards to be able to get in and out the doors. But this idea, too, didn't pan out, Mrs. Davenport said. So additional personnel will have to be used. "The question is what kind of personnel."
