THE MICHIGAN DAILY ENDELIAN GENETICS: Cell Interactions Fit Theory By PHILIPSUTIN Recent evidence that a cell's en- vironment influences its develop- :ment does not conflict with basic Mendelian genetics, three Univer- sity scientists agree. 'There is no controversy here," stated Prof. James Neel of the medical school in commenting on recent lectures of Profs. Tracy Sonneborn of the University of Indiana and Clemment Markert of Johns Hopkins University. Influence Development In their lectures, the professors indicated that the body of a cell or neighboring cellsinfluence its development. Under the Mendelian genetic theory, the genes control the development of an individual in each generation. "The cytoplasm of a cell inter- acts with the nucleus so that cer- tain genes are activated in one kind of tissue and other genes are activated in a different tissue," Prof. Norman Kemp, of the zool- ogy department, explained. Wiped Ouit' These changes fall within the Mendelian theory because they are usually wiped out in the next gen- eration, Sally Allen, research worker in the zoology department, explained. Unlike the theories of scientists Jean Lamarck and T. D. Lysenko which state that changes in the cytoplasm will cause permanent changes in the nucleus, these cyto- plasmic interactions with nucleus are not transmitted by the genes. Embryonic Differentiation Prof. Kemp noted that scientists had believed that "all nuclei are alike. Cytoplasmic differences ac- count for embryonic differentia- tion." This belief was based on the Fishbein Sees 'Serious' Lack Of Physicians The increased demand for medi- cal services combined with the population explosion should "bring about a definite shortage of phy- sicians and other trained medical personnel" according to the new Brittannica Book of the Year. Within only a few years, the number of applications for ad- mission to medical schools has fallen from six applicants for each available position to only two. However, it was estimated that an additional 10 or 12 medical schools would be needed by 1970 because of the increase in population. The shortage of applicants has led some of the schools to lower their admissions requirements. Northwestern and John Hopkins Universities have experimented with a six year program leading to an M.D. degree as opposed to the present eight year program. The article, entitled "Medicine," was written. by Dr. Morris Fish- bein, medical author and editor. 1928 experiment of Hans Spemann of Germany. He constricted the two celled stage of an amphibian embryo so that all genetic mater- ial was in one of the cells. When the one cell had divided into 128 cells, he allowed a nu- cleus of one of these cells to pass through the constriction to the undivided half. Upon the sep- eration of the original halves, each cell grew normally into a complete embryo. This seemed to indicate the nu- cleus of the cell was fully re- sponsible for its development, he said. Nucleus Changes However, research by Profs. Robert Briggs, of the University of Indiana, and Thomas King, of Lankenau Institute of Cancer Re- search, indicated a change in the nucleus during development. Their experiment indicated that "nuclei become different as devel- opment proceeds. These changes contribute to the unfolding pat- tern of differentiation," Prof. Kemp stated.- Prof. Briggs and King removed the female chromosomes from an Group Prints International :Award Guide The Institute of International Education has published and re- leased the "Handbook on Inter- national Study," a guide to inter- national scholarships. The book is published in two separate volumes, one "For For- eign Nationals" and the second "For UnitedkStates Nationals." The books are designed as sources of information on awards and grants of major scholarship programs, requirements for pro- grams and government regulations affecting the international stu- dent. Included is a listing of colleges and universities in 91 countries as well as the names and services of organizations willing to help the "exchangee" find living quarters or meet new people in the com- munity. There are helpful hints on se- lecting a school in a foreign coun- try, an explanation of degree and credit requirements of United States and foreign educational systems and a special section covering summer study abroad.

The cell dif- ferentiated normally. However, if nuclei from certain cells of an older embryo are transplanted, ab- normal differentiation results. Liver Extract Markert's recent experiment, Prof. Kemp added, carries Prof. Briggs.and King's workna step further. In his experiment, Mar- kert injected an extract from the liver of an adult frog into a re- cently fertilized frog egg. The cell differentiated abnormally. "Probably all cells have a full complement of genes. What deter- mines the differentiation and function of a given cell type is what genes are activated or in- hibited," Prof. Kemp concluded.

Tapped were Lynne Belofsky, Ronna Bergman, Shirley Chatt- man, Audrey Dorman, Anita Fecht, Ann Gomez, Julie Gordon, Marilyn Grossman, Debra Hor- witz, Carol Kaufman, and Mar- jorie Lindaur. Also selected were Laurie Lip- man, Judith Oppenheim, ; JoyceI Peckham, Barbara Portnoy, Mary Schmidt, Margaret Skiles, Bea Teodoro, .Diane Thime, Susan Watson, and Mary Jane West. Suschowk To Talk On Radio Activity Claims oath' For NDEA To Continue A spokesman for the House1 Committee on Education and La- bor predicted that the loyalty oath of the National Defense Education Act would not be repealed. The defeat of the bill, he thinks,1 will be due to the silence shown by students, professors and parents who object to the act as it stands now. In its present form the act states that all students applying for a governmenthloan or grant must sign an oath of allegiance to the United States and an af- fidavit stating that they "have never been a member of and do not believe in the goals of any group wishing to overthrow the government by force or violence." Senior Society 'Taps Women For Honorary Senior Society tapped 16 jun- iors and nine seniors on Wednes- day night.

Basic Difficulty "The basic difficulty," Moyers reported, "will be maintaining the health of the Peace Corps volun- teers. "Flies, mosquitos, filth - these all add up to a major obstacle to success. It will be essential to provide a public health person and a medical assistant to each of our teams." The Moyers report stresses the' difficulties to be encountered by corps volunteers in Africa. It states that though this report deals only with Senegal, the con- ditions it describes are typical of' much of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Adequate Diet "Diet adequate to health is go- ing to be difficult to maintain," the report went on, "and it will be necessary during the training period for our volunteers to re- ceive some basic instruction In dietary problems, in growing small gardens for the training depart- ment." The Senegal project that the peace corps may join will involve reclaiming land 30 miles from Da- kar, the nation's capital. The Senegal government hopes to reclaim 3,000 acres, repopulat- ing the area with residents of the capital, who would be taught mod- ern methods of truck-farming.

The most popular of the arts, the cinema mirrors with vivid clarity the images that a society wishes to project and beneath them the unstated wishes that may seriously con- flict with the accepted ideology. The social historian will find the film as rich a source for analysis as the popular book- perhaps more so in view of the film's essentially oneiric qual- ity. Kracauer traces a line of "tyrant" films, of which The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari was' the first and Waxworks, which' we are showing Thursday and Friday, the culmination. Our audience requests no film more often than Caligari, which we cannot obtain because of our policy of open admissions. We hope that Caligari enthusiasts will not fail to see its successor of five years later-the common elements, from the amusement park setting with its suggestion of inner horror, to the expres- sionistic decor and dream se- quences, are striking.

Consid- ered a horror specialist, he was given popular mystery dramas to film, of which The Cat and the Canary was the most suc- cessful example of the adapta- tion (or should one say, the prostitution) of his talents. He died suddenly of blood poison- ing, still a young man, in 1929. Our short subject for this program is worth noticing. Women on the March is a docu- mentary on the rights of wom- en--on the slow progress of the sex, which according to fascist ideas should confine itself to "Kirche, Kueche, Kinder" but whose aspirations are resisted almost as strongly in the de- mocracies. It was not until the 19th century and in America that such militants as Susan Anthony, arrested for trying to vote in 1872, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucrezia Mottand. others shamed the conscience of this country by their vigor- ous protests against the prevail- ing sexual exploitation. And it wasn't until 1920 that women were considered legally adult here. In England, a similarly vigorous campaign by Lady Emily Parkhurst and others, ridiculed constantly in the press, led to legal enfranchisement. Very few men, naturally, lent themselves to these parades, picketings, and similarly social- ly embarrassing events. We should, in this connection, no- tice William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Edward Car- penter, Bernard Shaw, and Mox Eastman, who indicate that in an open society you may gain unexpected allies; in any case, oppressed minorities who have to gain by the promises of our society will get their rights only by fighting for them. All musical - comedies begin with commonplace reality. Most of them achieve nothing else. But in a few, a time comes when the story moves as if by magic into a higher realm of" fantasy, a world of musical il- lusion where lovers sing out their love and passing strang- ers spontaneously join hands to waltz, tap, or stomp their ap- proval. It is a rare film which can effect this subtle change, sustain it (without jarring the illusion too hard or too often), and descend gracefully back into that reality from which it departed. Seven Brides for Sev- en. Brothers is such a film.

It was termed "ein Kam- merspiefifim," for the prevail- ing morbidity was muted by the intimacy of the photography; the inaccompanied music that Hindemith was writing at this time for viola and cello would be its acerb musical parallel. Waxworks, however,three years later, is considered Leni's finest work. Robert Wiene, the guid- -ing spirit of Caligari, supervised' the production. Henrik Galeen (Nosferatu) wrote the script. Three waxworks figures became alive in the dreams of a starv- ing young poet ,who has been given a commission to write about them. The first of these, dealing with Haroun al-Ras- chid, is the weakest part of the film; his capriciousness merely toys with the underlying theme. Ivan the Terrible is a more sat- isfactory tyrant, with insatiable lusts and an appetite for cruel- ty. It is, however, the last epi- sode, dealing with Jack-the- Ripper, the sex murderer of Victorian England, that Kra- cauer says "must be counted among the greatest achieve- 6 11 FOR MEN, WOMEN-GET THIS VITAL SURVIVAL TRAINING NOW !
