RIO-ENGINEERING:
View Aspects of New Program
By GERALD STORCII
In a seminar held yesterday to
provide information about the new
bio-engineering course to be estab-
lished this fall, three University
authorities clarified some of the
problems and questions arising
from such a program of "bilateral
education."
Prof. Horace W. Davenport,
chairman of the physiology de-
partnent, examined from the van-
tage point of the medical school
the new program, in which under-
graduate and graduate engineering
students may take classes in sub-"
jects including anatomy, botany,
biochemistry, physical chemistry
and zoology.
The student would receive an
engineering degree, but would be
trained to work professionally in
biological and medical careers.
Mutual Advances
Prof. Davenport noted that
many problems in the biological
sciences cannot be solved without
advances in engineering, and con-
Penn Clears
Recent Charge
Of Misconduct
-Charges of "malpractice and
misfunctioning" against Women's
Judiciary at the University of
Pennsylvania have apparently
been found unjustified, according
to Robert Hirshhorn, managing
editor of the Daily Pennsylvanian.
The charges, made by eight wo-
men, first made public in the
paper, were given to Women's
Student Government Association
for investigation.. They refused to
consider the matter, and it was
referred to the Committee on Stu-
dent Affairs.
A jurisdictional dispute re-
turned the matter - to WSGA,
which vindicated the Women's
Judiciary.
The charges were not made pub-
lic, in line with school policy, but
originally accused the student
court of "unfair tactics," acting
through "personal bias," and dom-
ination by the Dean of Women,
Hirshhorn said.
Merriam To Talk
On African Music
Prof. Alan P. Merriam of the.
anthropology department at
Northwestern University will speak
on "Music of Africa" at 8:30 to-
day in Aud. A.
versely, engineering technology is
expanding more and more into
areas where it must take into ac-
count developments in these sci-
ences.
Prof. Glenn V. Edmondson, as-
sociate dean of the. engineering
college, then spoke on questions
the interdepartmental ad hoc
committee which formulated the
program had to contend with.,
He said that the group had
found that students completing
such a program could gain profes-
sional recognition and outstand-
ing. job opportunities.
Air Pollution
One example of an area in
which a bio-engineering course
would be of great benefit is in
controlling abnormal air pollu-
tion in cities such as Ann Arbor,
which is one of 29 urban centers
in the United States facing this
issue.
Engineering college dean Ste-
phen J. Attwood said that a bio-
engineering program certainly is
not unique in concept, but is the
first extensive effort to create a
specific, inter-disciplinary course.
The three men made some fur-
ther points during a question-and-
answer session afterwards.
Medical Degree
Prof. Davenport explained that
a state law specifies four years
must be spent in medical gradu--
ate school for a medical degree,
but that graduate students from
engineering frequently are able to
waive prerequisites to take re-
quired courses.
Another seminar on bio-engi-
neering will be presented, with
outside speakers, some time late
in May.
Revelli Tells
Music Tour
Experiences
Prof. William D. Revelli of the
music school, and director of Uni-
versity bands, recalled some of the
highlights of the Symphony
Band's tour of the Soviet Union
and the Middle East last spring in
a talk to an Adult Education In-
stitute audience Wednesday night.

Eisenberg and Felheim
Discuss 'Concept of Man'
In a tone of concern over "over-
fashionability" and "over-quota-
tion" in the contemporary func-
tion of art, Prof. Marvin J. Eisen-
berg, chairman of the history of
art department, examined some
aspects of "The Concept of Man
in Art and Literature" yesterday.

English department then focused

A non-organized, non-partisan

by the Michigan Senate.

be the possibility of organizing a
