Bagwell Set
To Address
Group Here
By MICHAEL HARRAH
GOP gubernatorial nominee1
Paul D. Bagwell will campaign7
Ann Arbor this evening as part
of a nineteen-city tour of the
state.
Bagwell will appear from 5 t
7 p.m. at 'a potluck supper at the
American Legion Memorial Home.
Lieutenant - Governor nominee
Clarence E. Reid, Treasurer nom-
inee Davdi Calhoun, and Attor-
ney General candidate Wendall
Miles will accompany him.
Bagwell is presently barnstorm-
ing the state in a final drive for
votes, using the "Crusade Cruis-
er," a 26-foot self-propelled trail-
er, to carry the "Bagwell team."
The Crusader, containing full
sleeping accommodations, full
kitchen facilities and a complete-
ly equipped working area, is "a
completely new concept in cam-
paigning," Bagwell says.
The "Bagwell team" will cam-
paign in Port Huron, Mt. Clem-
ens, Bay City, Lapeer, Imlay City,
Pontiac, Mpskegon, and Ann Ar-
bor, this week, and will wind up
the campaign in the Detroit area
just before election.
Bagwell was enthusiastic as he
pulled out of Detroit Monday. "I
am definitely convinced that the
tide has changed and a ground
swell is building for the Republi-
cans," he said,
Bagwell said he would base his
final vote drive on "positive po-
litical leadership. Michigan has
just ended an era of shameful
politics in our state economy and
an endless and needless tug of
war between classes.
"My opponent is part of the
administration which left Michi-
gan in the worse mess in history.
I pledge myself to take steps to
clean up this mess once and for
all."
All Republican state candidates
plan to appear with Bagwell dur-
ing the week, including Judge
James R. Breakey of Ann Arbor,
who is campaigning for Supreme
Court Justice.

CANCER STUDY:
Agency Centralizes Research,

By RALPH KAPLAN
"The University's Cancer Re-
search 'Institute- is a centralizing
agency designed to aid the can-
cer investigator in any unit of
the University," Prof. Burton L.
Baker, chairman of the Cancer
Research Committee, said.
The Institute has three main
areas of interest--research, teach-
ing and patient care.
"Cancer research at the Uni-
versity is concerned with gleaning
information about an enormous
variety of subjects, from the most
fundamental chemical and physi-
cal principles to the highly com-
plicated effects of modern clinical
treatment of the disease.
Study Metabolism
Among the subjects being stud-
ied are various kinds of metab-
olisms, enzyme activity, variations
among different kinds of cancer,
and the clinical value of radia-
tion treatments.
Davis Says
Grou Likes
Counselling,
International students at the
University are satisfied with the
research facilities and counseling
provided by the International
Center, James M. Davis said re-
cently.
Davis, director of the Interna-
tional Center, went on to say that
the students were less satisfied
with the way they could spend
their leisure time. They feel that
they are not given enough rec-
ognition for previous study.
They are also dissatisfied with
the intellectual stimulation pro-
vided by American students.
Davis spoke at a seminar on
University administration in the
United States. The seminar was
attended by 10 administrators
from nine nations.
"A study of foreign students in
the fall of 1957 showed that many
of them were working in various
aspects of engineering. They were
generally satisfied with the work
they were doing."
Davis said that studies of for-
eign students done by national
agencies have revealed a "gen-
erally improved understanding of
and appreciation for the United
States, a high level of satisfaction
with the academic experience and
a willingness to share their views
about the United States upon re.
turning home. However, they did
view race relations and mass me-
dia in a less favorable light.
Davis said that foreign students
on the Michigan campus "receive!
the same academic advising and
housing opportunities. In addi-'
tion, they have the -International
Center which deals with their par-
ticular concern."

The teaching of the subject of
cancer at the University medicall
school is the responsibility of sev-£
eral individual departments.
The curriculum is supplemented
by special lectures, theater clin-
ics, demonstrations, conferences
a n d superviser investigations
which are included in the instruc-
tion of graduate and post-gradu--1
ate students.
"Particular attention is directed
to arranging special lectures by
visiting clinicians And investiga-
tors who present first-hand their
recent and often still'unpublished'
observations to the medical
school's staff and students," Prof.
Baker said.
A large part of support for can-
cer study and research in the
medical school comes from such
agencies as the American Cancer
Society, the United States Public
Health Service, through its . can-
cer teaching and training grants,
and the Elsa U. Pardee Founda-
tion.
"Much of the credit for the
quality of the medical school's
program for the study and re-
search of cancer belongs with
these foundations," Prof. Baker
said.
Give Grants
Another part of the teaching
aspect of cancer research are the
University research grants. Thej
fellowship program of the medi-
cal school now provides not only
for long-term support of graduate
students but also makes a num-
ber of short-term research fel-
lowships available to medical and
graduate students for temporary
periods.
Since June, 1947, the National
Cancer Institute of the United
States Public Health Service has
made unrestricted annual grants-
in-aid to medical schools to im-
p r o v e undergraduate teaching
programs in cancer. These grants,
which the University has been re-
ceiving since their beginning,
have been used at the University
to stimulate and supplement
teaching and research.
Study Diagnosis
Study of the diagnosis and
treatment of cancer involves most
of the clinical departments of the
medical school. Among these stud-
ies are research on diagnosis which
