THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, M) TH..CIG NDAL.WDESA,M axter Describes Field Work Seizer Cites Difficulties In Treating Aicoholism ACROSS CAMPUS: To Discuss State Constitution From "worn-out" farmland to~ valuable tree plantations-that is the history of The University's un- usual research facility, the Sagi- naw Forest. Located three miles west of Ann Arbor, the 80-acre forest is one of the nation's earliest and most important field laboratories for research into the causes and pre- vention of forest diseases. For over half a century it has served 'University foresters and students that rise to fine trees, well-trained professional foresters and uniquely valuable scientific records, Prof. Dow V. Baxter of the natural resources school explains. Early Woodsman Prof. Baxter, who worked in the forest himself as early as 1917 when he was a freshman, is put- ,ting finishing touches on a book dealing with the development and succession of fungi from field to forest. Since 1904, University students have planted, treated, studied and harvested trees in an area that was once farmland meanwhile compiling some of the longest con- tinuous records of tree develop- ment and disease patterns in the nation. "The forester must be able to forecast the health of tree stands which may not mature for 50-60 years," Prof. Baxter explains. "Re- search results such as we have compiled help a great deal. Long Attack "Here is an 80-acre area of var- ied growth conditions and tree varieties which have been exposed to attack by disease and climatic factors for over 55 years. "We can compare short- and long-term growth patterns of dif- ferent sites. But most important is the value of the time invested in these plantations." The history of Saginaw Forest is especially significant today, Prof. Baxter explains, because a great deal of tree planting is being done now on similar "worn-out" farm lands elsewhere. Long-range experiments by Uni- versity forest researchers in dis- ease successions and treatment are Lake offered four distinct soil types ranging from peat to sandy loam-ideal for a variety of trees from conifers to broadleaf hard- woods. Planting began in 1904. The en- tire open area of 55 acres was cov- ered by 1915. Woodland Pioneers The demonstration plantings were done under the leadership of such forestry pioneers as Prof. Filibert Roth, Walter Mulford, first instructor under Rot4l and later dean at the University of California, Prof. L. J. Young and Dean Emeritus Samuel T. Dana of the natural resources school, who says "no one block of 80 acres has played a more important part in the development of forestry in the United States. So many stu- dents-ever since early days--have received instruction here." Today. then property is super- vised by the natural resources school under Dean Stephen H. Spurr, with Forest Manager Frank Murray in charge of the opera- tion., Because of its proximity to Ann Arbor, the forest enables students and instructors to move quickly from the classroom world of theory out into the field. Students also earn money through their work there. (First in 4 Series of Three Articles)v By BARBARA PASH The major difficulty in the theatment of alcoholism is that the vast majority of alcoholics do not recognize the disease in them- selves and are not interested in getting help, Prof. Melvin L. Sel- zer of the Medical School ex- plained recently. "Alcoholism is a 'hidden' dis- ease. Because of the alcoholic's unconscious use of denial (i.e., not believing that he is an alco- holic) and his skillful subterfuge, he can deceive others," he contin- ued. Alcoholism is the fourth public health disease in America in terms of the number of people afflicted -approximately five million alco- holics. It has been proven that this disease and its side-effects can shorten one's life by 20-25 years. DOW V.

The acreage near Third Sister COMPENSATION: Fleming Explains Need To Lessen Trade Flux 4 By MARILYN KORAL . --- - ... ENDING THURSDAY 11 DOUBLE ENCORE PROGRAM "Compensatory measures for fluctuations in commodity trade, were developed largely because those nations whose exports fluctuated the most were non-in- dustrial and were least able to sustain t h e economic conse- quences of fluctuation," J. Mar- cus Fleming of the International Monetary Fund said in a recent lecture. Fleming explained that flexible export prices in non-industrial or primary nations were the main cause of high commodity fluctua- tion rates. However, primary na- tions are less able to cushion the detrimental economic effects be- cause they have fewer reserve funds than industrial nations. In addition, these countries have less control over the international monetary situation. As a result of their inability to cushion ill effects of fluctuation, an inflationary economicnsitua- tion has been common to non-in- dustrial nations. This in turn fa- cilitates commodity trade fluctu- ation. Thus the process is circular. Tracing the history of com- pensatory plans, Fleming cited commodity agreements between nations as basically ineffectual., "They were too difficult to ar- range on an international basis," he said. Without the agreement of key nations the paper would be meaningless. Various Treatments "A number of treatments of mo- dalities are available, but none are certain to work in any particular alcoholic. As with any illness where there is no certain treat- ment, many groups and disciplines invite themselves into the field," Prof. Selzer noted. Typically, an alcoholic utilizes an unconscious method of denial. He does this becausetoadmit that he is an alcoholic would mean he would have to give up drinking. Since this is an addiction, it isn't easily surrendered, Prof. Selzer continued. "All too often, however, alcohol- ism is regarded purely as a moral issue by many people rather than a fatal disease. There is still a stigma attached to it, but hope- fully we are moving toward re- garding it as an involuntary addic- tion, and hence an illness," he de- clared. Cause Uncertain Although the cause of alcohol- ism is not definitely known, it is generally recognized as a defect in personality. Prof. Selzer explain- ed that normal people are, able to build up defense mechanisms to combat the anxiety which as- sails everyone. But alcoholics are unable to go through this normal process and turn to alcohol (or narcotics) in order to "make everything rosy." It-is doubtful if any single type or personality constellation char- acterizes the entire alcoholic pop- ulation. While it is true that there are certain similarities in their histories and personalities, identi- cal personalities and histories are found in non-alcoholics. "Many people in the field say an alcoholic, once recovered, can never go back to being a 'social drinker'." However, he didt a study in 1957 which revealed that there were such types of alcoholics. Small Number These cases, however, are in a definite minority. Most alcoholics Quadrants Tap Ni.ew Members The South Quad Quadrants have tapped the following stu- dents as new members: Arthur Braun, '65E; Kent Bourland, '63- LSA; Raymond Foresman, '65B- Ad; Duane Huizenga, '65E; Leslie Loomans, '65E; Dennis Rhode- hamel, '64E; Ronald Russell, '65- LSA; James Starks, '65LSA. never lose their "craving" (also called "loss of control") for liquor, no matter how long they have re- mained "dry." Thus, they can nev- er return to social drinking. "No one knows the mechanism of craving, whether it is psycholog- ical or physical. The treatment of alcoholism generally involves some form of psychotherapy, either in- dividual or group. "Also it is usually considered ad- visable to involve other important members of the family in the treatment," Prof. Selzer declared. Rocky Road A small percentage of alcohol- ics, 3-5 per cent, may become sober without help. Even with treatment the "road to sobriety is often rocky" and treatment is usually lengthy and may be char- acterized by a number of relapses. Psychotherapy is an attempt to find out why addiction to alcohol is so necessary to the patient and why sobriety is such a threat to him. In addition to this, the drug antabuse and tranquilizers are used in treatments. Less Chance "The duration of the patient's alcoholism or age of the person at the time he undertakes treat- ment is not an indication of treat- ability. However, the earlier a per- (son becomes an alcoholic, the worse is the prognosis for recov- ery," he commented. Too many people think of an al- coholic "as being a bum, Prof. Sel- zer noted. Actually, this disease knows no class lines and often afflicts: a community's most dis- tinguished citizens. Less than five per cent of the total alcoholics "are skid row bums." "Also, more men than women are alcoholics, but we don't know precisely the ratio of men to wom- en. However, the way a woman lives enables her to cover up her, alcoholism -better. On the other' hand, social pressure prevents her from seeking treatment," he ex- plained. College Roundup Prof. Charles W. Joiner of the v Law School and Prof. Daniel R.

In 1959, after considerable dif- ficulties with commodity agree- ments, the United Nations asked the International Monetary Fund for a report on their policies for providing short term financing to nations that would require aid due to fluctuations in trade. The re- port submitted by the Fund em- phasized that there were seldom fluctuations in exports of a coun- try without other balance of pay- ments difficulties. Hence, without restoring equilibrium in the bal- ance of payments, the fluctuation problem could not be solved. Transfer of Funds After this policy statement of the Fund, the UN appointed a group of experts to research methods for achieving a net transfer of funds from the huge industrial countries to the pri- mary and under-developed na- tions. Out of the research report, the Fund formulated an operational plan for compensatory financing with two major provisions. "A short-term loan was made avail- able for nations requiring aid be- cause of temporary short falls due to causes not primarily under control of the country," Fleming said. "In addition, nations must be willing to cooperate with the Fund in efforts to find basic solutions to their balance of payments problems. "It appears likely that this plan will be the only form of compen- satory financing for the time be- ing. All industrial nations support the plan at the present," he said. - _ -___ -Ii NEW YORK-Former editors of the Columbia Review, Columbia's literary magazinedwhose staff re- signed recently due to adminis- trative censorship, have refused to return to their posts.
