Cooper, at present a regional
representative in NSA, explained
that there has been a series of
chairmen of the NSA committee
this year. John Levi, '69, is serv-
ing presently as ad hoc chairman.
Information Center
"NSA, the largest association of
colleges and universities in the
nation, serves its member schools
through information, consultations
and coordination of common stu-

dent efforts," Cooper said. "In
addition, NSA works off the cam-
pus to represent student opinion
and to carry out program man-
dates derived from the national
congress."
Malinda Schaill, special events
director of Panhellenic Association,
sees the major value of NSA as
"facilitating the exchange of ideas
between schools with similar prob-
lems." She also feels it is "impor-
tant to have people from other
activities than SGC represented
at the congress."

TUESDAY, MARCH 22, at 8:30 p.m.

Daily Executive Editor Bruce
Wasserstein perceived the follow-
ing functions for NSA:
--To represent student attitudes
on the national level on issues
which affect the campus such as
student deferments and aid to
education.
---To set up a meaningful dia-
logue between American student
leaders a n d foreign students
through conferences and exchange
programs.
-To learn from other student
leaders how various student gov-
ernment innovations and academic
reforms are working on other
campuses.
Differing Viewpoints
Hornberger, former president of
Inter-Quadrangle Council, sees
NSA as a. service organization, not
a political one. He stated, "NSA
should limit itself to those areas
which affect American students as
students and should not dwell in
areas purely political in nature
which do not affect the student
directly. NSA should definitely
fight in areas such as academic
reform, academic freedom and
scholarship and loan programs."
Wall, international co-ordinat-
or, takes just the opposite position.
"NSA should not be concerned only
with the campus and its students,"
he said. "I would like to see a
definite proposal on international
programming, more sponsoring of
seminars on international prob-
lems and more communication di-
rected towards various government
educational agencies."

Interviews with sociologistsy
politicians, military men
and students
Sund March 20

By KATHIE GLEBE
Drinking problems, depression,
nervous breakdowns and hospitali-
zations, were among the areas in-
vestigated by Prof. Monica Blu-
menthal, associate research bio-
chemist at the Mental Health Re-
search Institute, and her asso-
ciates in their study of carriers of
the hereditary disease, phenyl-
ketonuria.
Phenylketonuria-PKU-is char-
acterized by the lack of the ability
to convert certain types of amino
acids into other types, an essen-
tial body process. If not treated at
an early age it can result in severe
mental retardation.
The disease occurs in persons
carrying two genes for this trait.
The conditions of a person carry-
ing only one such gene is called
heterozygous. These individuals
appear to be normal, but there is
speculation over whether or not
such people are more apt to suffer
from severe mental illness than
normal people.
Heterozygosity
The purpose of Prof. Blumen-
thal's experiment was to deter-
mine whether or not heterozygos-
ity for PKU really is associated
with mental illness.
Prof. Blumenthal and her as-
sociates began experimenting in
1964 on many psychiatric problems
possibly related to physio-bio-
chemical causes.
Three groups were investigated
in a field study: parents heterozy-
gous for PKU (located through
their phenylketonuric children in
various state institutions); a con-
trol group of the parents of non-
phenylketonuric mentally retard-
ed children; and a second control
group of the parents of children
with cystic fibrosis, a chronic in-
herited disease which does not
lead to mental retardation.
Severe mental retardation in a
child causes many difficulties,
both financial and emotional, for
a family with such a child. Al-
though cystic fibrosis does not

cause retardation, it usually leads
to early death and is also a sourcej
of considerable emotional strain
on a family. Control groups were
accordingly selected in order to
examine the relationship between
stress and emotional illness. Such
influencing variables as social
class and race were carefully reg-!
ulated.
Interviews To Investigate
Each of the groups contained
64 nonrelated children. In all
cases the parents of the, children
formed the total population which
was actually interviewed.
The purpose of the interview
was to investigate in detail the
problems arising from having the
affected child in the family and
to evaluate the mental health of
the family members. An interview
consisted of a discussion of the
child's problems, a history of the
parents' efforts to seek help, and
a sympathetic inquiry concerning
specific problems generated by
the child in the home, as well as
the mental health of the parents
and the rest of the family. Typi-
cal interviews were held in the
respondent's home and lasted
from two to two and one-half
hours.
The basic problem in interview-
ing was to devise a method of
measuring the comparative rates
of mental illness in the three
populations investigated. A stan-
dard interview schedule designed

to evaluate a variety of mental
health problems was created. All
the interviews were coded ac-
cording to a formal coding pro-
cedure.
Data Organized
After the interviews had been
thus coded, data relevant to par-
ticular problem areas was or-
ganized into tables; the most im-
portant categories dealing with
drinking problems, depression,
nervous breakdowns, consultation
with physicians and hospitaliza-
tion for emotional problems.
The results of the data analysis
did not support the original hypo-
thesis that persons heterozygous
for PKU are more apt to suffer
from mental illness than other
persons.
Behavior associated with mental
illness tended to be reported more
frequently in the lower class
groups. The interview answers in-
dicated that men had more drink-
ing problems than women, while
women reported a significantly
greater number of nervous break-
depression. Women also sought
downs. and were more affected by
more medical aid for emotional
problems than men, according to
findings in the three groups.
People who had been divorced
reported more hospitalizations,
drinking problems, depression,
nervous breakdowns and consul-
tations with physicians than those
who had never been divorced.

STATEMENT OF DISSENT

March, 1966

We, the undersigned members of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, disagree with the reso-
lution concerning Selective Service that was passed at the Faculty Meeting of;.March 7.
The national interest requires the exemption of some able-bodied male citizens from military duty. In each
case, the crucial criterion is the special service that the individual may be expected to render in place of mili-
tary service.
We can not accept the proposition that all college students have the same value with regard to the national
interest. Some students put their ability and time to good use, while others devote themselves primarily to activi-
ties that do not justify their presence on campus. We believe that the best students should be exempted from
military service, that some students merit no deferment at all, arld that'it would be well to apply a sliding scale
to those in intermediate positions. For this purpose, appraisal by grade points and examinations is not complete-
ly satisfactory; but it has substantial validity, and it is certainly more reliable than random selection
In conclusion, we recommend to students that they take their academic work seriously, and we affirm that
excellence has no substitute.
