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. By LANCE SILVIAN Prof. P. J. Elving of the chem- istry department said recently that the study of polarographic behavior of organic materials may lead to new methods of cancer therapy as well as other uses in the field of medicine desired conditions which allow simpler analysis than does direct study of the body. This is because there are so many things going on in the body at one time that it is extremely easy to draw er- roneous conclusions about causal relationships. The study of polarographic be- havior of organic compounds is supported by grants from many institutions, including the Na- tional Science Foundation and the Atomic Energy Commission. tra aGU iaacataa.

MAURER NSF To Help 3376 Students Collegiate Press Service 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. ADVOCATES DISCRETION: FDA Cautions Campus Drug Users 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- havior in the body.

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." i ', DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN The Daily Official Bulletin as an official publication of The Univer- sitl of Michigan, for which The Michigan Daily assumes no editor- ial responsibility.

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 DIAL Shows Start at 662-6264 1:00-3:00-5:00 7:00 and 9:05 JHSTEWHiOQGAVE YOU THE GREAT ESCAPt" NfW BRlNGS 'YOU THE ULTIMATE IN SUSPENSE!
