Maurer Honored as
'Teacher of Year'

CANCER THERAPY?
Elving Evolves New Technique

Prof. Wesley H. Maurer, chair-
man of the journalism depart-
ment, has been named "Teacher
of the Year" by the Adult Edu-
cation Association of Michigan.
Maurer received the citation for
his services in the field of adult
education through an extension

course on "Current American Af-
fairs and World Events," which
he has taught since 1931.
His years of teaching the course
weekly in Detroit make it probably
the oldest educational discussion
group, taught by the same instruc-
tor, in the United States.
First Non-Credit Course
The course was the first non-
credit course offered by the Uni-
versity. It is now sponsored by the
Adult Education Center of Detroit
through the University, Wayne
State University and Eastern
Michigan University.
Discussing his class, Maurer
said, "We bar no subject, and the
hotter the topic the better the
discussion. There is no roll call
and there are no tests."
He reports that enrollment gen-
erally ranges from 70 to 80 per-
sons and several times entire fam-
ilies have signed up. Sometimes
the classes have gone as high as
250 persons.
The course started when sev-
eral University students suggested
the idea. "I agreed that they could
go ahead and advertise it. Amaz-
ingly 12 people showed up and
the class has been going ever
since," Maurer said.
Gull Lake
The a w a~ r d was presented
Wednesday night at the associa-
tion's annual meeting at Gull
Lake.
Maurer has been chairman of
the journalism department since
1949 and a member of the faculty
for 30 years. During his work at
the University, Maurer innovated
a n d developed The Michigan
Journalist, which is now a basic
teaching instrument for thebde-
partment of journalism and is na-
tionally circulated.
Since b e c o m i n g chairman,
Maurer has introduced a new
graduate program which offers
specialized training and education
for both domestic newspaper work
and foreign correspondence. The
program extends over a minimum
period of two academic years and
offers a professional internship
the third year on top U.S. metro-
politan newspapers.

Some 3,376 undergraduate stu-
dents will be conducting inde-
pendent research in biology, engi-
neering, mathematics and the
physical and social sciences on a
full-time basis this summer under
the National Science Foundation's
"Undergraduate Research Partici-
pation" program.
The program also provides part-
time research opportunities dur-
ing the coming academic year.
Grants totalling $1.08 million were
made to 98 colleges; universities,
and non-profit research institu-
tions for participation in the pro-
gram.

This painting by Christopher Lane is part of the current exhibition, entitled "Recent Landscapes
by Eight Americans," currently at the University Museum of Art until May 29. The 29 paintings,
included in the show, are by John Button, Allan D'Arcangelo, Robert Dash, Jan Greilicher, Aristo-
demos Kaldis, Alex Katz, Jane Wilson and Lane. The exhibition reflects the renewed interest and or-
iginality with which many painters have recently turned to pictorial use of landscape imagery. The
exhibition is part of a circulation program by the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Enzyme Action
Elving's hypothesis is that or-
ganic compounds, under polaro-
graphic laboratory conditions be-
have similarly to enzymes in the
body. Most enzymes behave as
catalysts. They speed a chemical
reaction which normally would
take a long time to completion
without being destroyed them-
selves. If the hypothesis is valid,
then studies in polarographic be-
havior will permit scientists to
find out more about chemical be-

WASHINGTON-Using pep pills
for one or two days around exam
time does not seriously impair
health or performance, according
to a Food and Drug Administra-
tion medical officer.
On the other hand, "the use of
sedatives or stimulants to aug-
ment the pleasure-producing ef-
fect of alcohol, such as might
occur at unsupervised social gath-
erings," is extremely dangerous.
This, according to Dr. Norman
Alberstadt, could lead to "auto-
mobile accidents or impulsive
sexual assaults."
Alberstadt discussed the physi-
cal effects of using stimulants
and sedatives in a seminar of the
annual meeting of the National
Association of Student Personnel
Administrators.

way. When non-fatigued subjects
are studied, psychomotor perform-
ance is not raised strikingly above
normal," he continued.
Barbiturates have a depressant
effect on the central nervous sys-
tem and are usually prescribed to
induce sleep, or, in small amounts,
a calming effect. An occasional
user, however, reacts to a normal
dosage with excitement rather
than sedation, Alberstadt warned.
Taking barbiturates the night
before an exam would not be a
good idea, according to Alberstadt,
for "there is impairment of psy-
chomotor performance for sev-
eral hours after awakening." An-
other side effect of longer-acting
barbiturates, such as phenobar-

bital, is a "hangover," consisting
of lassitude, dizziness, and gas-
trointestinal symptoms the morn-
ing after the drug has been taken.
"Thus there is a hazard in using
barbiturates to induce sleep if the
subject is going to engage in ac-
tivities which require complete
alertness the following morning,"
Alberstadt warned.
"When taken in small doses for
daytime sedation, the barbiturates
alleviate feelings of anxiety, and
in normal subjects, produce little
if any change in psychomotor
performance. With larger doses,
such as are used to induce sleep,
a significant impairment of over-
all psychomotor function is pro-
duced consistently."

Among the stimulants are am-
phetamines, including ampheta-
mine itself, methamphetamine,
desoxyphedrine, and phenmetra-
tine. Among the sedatives are
barbiturates, such as phenobarbi-
tal, pentobarbital, secobarbital,
and amobarbital.
Under federal law, illegal de-
livery of amphetamines or bar-
biturates is punishable by a fine
and imprisonment.
Studies of - individuals who doI
not use amphetamine habitually
but who take normal doses for two
or three days show that the drug
is most effective in "mitigating
the effects of fatigue on psycho-
motor performance," Alberstadt
reported.
These studies, however, give "no
assurance that amphetamines
taken daily for one or two weeks
of hard work and a minimal
amount of sleep would be equally
effective in avoiding fatigue, or
that they are not harmful to
bodily health when used in this
