LXXVI, No. 31S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1966 SEVEN CENTS FOUR PAGES Scientists Study Activity of Brain During Sleep By MICHAEL HEFFER First of a Two-Part Series Night comes to the nation, but all the people do not sleep, for in the night there are many, things to watch: television shows, moving pictures, traffic lights . - - and brain activity. Every night in laboratories across the nation, sleep monitors stand by instruments that record just what happens when people sleep. Rapidly becoming a fasci- nating scientific field, sleep is be- ing studied at about two dozen centers.1 Scientists are discovering that the study of sleep is very much related to the study of behavior, memory, sanity and psychosis, health, and mental illness. It may also lead to important findings in the search to discover how the brain works. Volunteers wearing electrodes attached by wires to panels which the sleep monitors watch all night are placed in comfortable beds. The wires are all on the sleeper's head, and are often' drawn to- gether into a pigtail so they don't get tangled, Much of work already accom- plished in these laboratories has been summarized in a report re- cently published by the National Institute of Mental Health. The report, easily read by those with no experience in the field, con- tains some interesting information for those college students who seek odd hours in which to study, like staying up for an entire night. The report says body tempera- ture varies in a cycle every 24 hours and a worker is doing his best when his temperature is high- est. Our work day is set so that our work is mostly required dur- ing the day, when most people seem to have their highest tem- perature period. Yet it is possible that one may work better at night if your temperature is highest dur- ing that period. Rest, however, is essential dur- ink the 24 hours. The question now facing scientists is why not throw out the old eight hours at night system and substitute a sys- tem of four hours of work fol- lowed by four hours of rest. Some contend the present sleeping per- iod is simply a habit and that chil- dren can be trained to follow an- other. One example of the possible flexibility of sleeping periods was made in a study of mice, young and old, placed in a situation where they had to jump every 15 seconds or they would fall to the ground. Old mice, unable to change sleeping habits, were forc- ed to stay awake in order to make the jumps. They lasted only four days before they fell from exhaustion and lack of seep. Yet very young rats were able to keep up the jumping for as long as 27 days. Their secret: in between jumps, for less than 15 seconds, they napped. The report warns against peo- ple depriving themselves of sleep, referring to extensive reports on sleep deprivation that date back to its first use as a torture. Sleep research has led to the finding of aid for people suffer- ing from narcolepsy. This ailment is one that might cause someone in a class to fall asleep or even lose complete muscle control with- out warning. Simple emotional re- sponses like laughter can bring it on. Narcolepsy has been classified as rather rare, but scientists have discovered that many more peo- ple than they first thought suffer from it in some form. When someone suffering from the disease seems to blank out, he actually falls fast asleep, and enters a period of sleep during which he has vivid dreams. It usually takes most people about 90 minutes to reach this stage of sleep, but a narcoleptic enters it immediately. In studying the sleep of nar- coleptics, scientists discovered that restless sleep and shorter per- iods of vivid dreaming seemed to characterize their sleep at night. It seemed as if they were making up for a dream and sleep loss during the day. So scientists have tried drugs to enhance the night sleeping of these people and have had some success in cutting out narcoleptic attacks. Drugs they are experi- menting with include LSD. That period of rapid dreaming is called an REM period-REM standing for rapid eye move- ments; part of the body activity that takes place during this per- iod. The eye moves as if follow- ing a film, and the person's brain activity is very similar to that during waking. Scientists consider all sleep to be a state of consciousness, but during REM sleep the person is hard to awaken though he re- ceives responses to outside noise as if he were awake. Of great significance here is the number of heart attacks that occur during the period of REM sleep, when the heart rate and blood pressure are exceedingly rapid. When a person is awakened during this period he will remem- ber dreams, yet if he is awaken- ed moments after the rapid eye movements cease he will remem- ber very little or nothing. The average individual spends a total of about 5 years in such sleep. The report calls sleep "a suc- cession of repeated cycles," not the same for different individuals. However much people differ in detail, normal people show rough- ly the same overall sleep pat- tern. Marked deviations from this pattern are often signs of seri- ous disorders. Encephalitis is an extreme instance, and its suffer- ers may find their daily tempera- ture cycle inverted; they may sleep by day instead of night. Because sleep disorders and mental illness inevitably occur si- multaneously, sleep disorders have become a cue for discriminating among different types of mental illness. And increasing insomnia is an indication of increasing de- terioration in the condition of mental patients. Another fascinating study is that of the sleep walker, or som- nambulist. Sleep walking seems to occur during a stage of sleep when the sleeper "is utterly re- moved from the world, though his brain wave responses would indi- cate that every sound and the lightest touch are received in his brain." This enables sleep walkers to move around in a room without touching furniture, yet still be fast asleep. Awakened immediate- ly after walking the somnambulist remembers nothing. TOMORROW: Controlling Sleep. I Voter March Continues in Mississippi 150 Negroes Register In Granada; Four Hired as Registrars By HARVEY WASSERMAN Special To The Daily GRANADA, Miss.-It was a full day yesterday for participants in the Meredith march. The group split up early at their headquar- ters in Granada. Over 100 march- ers-the number grew larger throughout the day as Negroes from Granada joined the march- left Granada in the morning led by Congress on Racial Equality Executive Director Floyd McKis- sick and his wife and four chil- dren. He was joined by Southern Christian Leadership Conference leader Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King a bit later. McKissick and King left the march early in the afternoon to lead a rally in Charleston, the nearby Tallahatchie County seat, where a reported 125 Negroes reg- istered to vote. Fewer rights work- ers - about 15 - went to Drew,; county seat of Sunflower County, and the efforts there were less successful, as the reception from local law officials was "not en- thusiastic." One worker reported, "We were run out of town." In the town and county of Gra- nada, teams canvassed the area and brought Negroes to the court- house for registration. Reports in- dicated that over 150 Negroes had registered by 6 p.m. last night, nearing the figure of 180 report- ed two days ago. Two nights ago a minor disturb- ance broke out among Negro rights workers in the men's tent. The dispute centered around Cordell Reagen, a SNCC worker and for- mer freedom singer, and two or three workers who questioned Reagen's leadership. A number of the disputees had been drinking. The dispute remained loudly verbal and carried on for half an hour until someone turned out the lights. The march route yesterday took a swing to the west on the road into the Mississippi Delta region or "Black Belt" and toward Greenwood where demonstrations were held in 1964. The area is made up largely of sharecropper plantations. The majority of the states Negroes live in this flat cotton-producing sector of the state.

Ford Motor Co. said Tuesday its chairman urged in a letter to Glenn T. Seaborg, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, that the Washtenaw County site be given favorable consideration. The site, in Northfield Township not far from the University and less than 40 miles from car-making Detroit, is one of several being considered by the AEC for a multi-million-dollar acceler- ator laboratory. Churches Oppose Grants To Students At Private Colleges L A N S I N G (A'i - Arguments against a bill to provide tuition grantsto students at privatecol- legYes and universities "appeal to ancient prejudices of past cen- turies," a private college spokes- man said yesterday. The Michigan Association of Private Colleges issued a state- ment answering objections of the Detroit Council of Churches and the Jewish Community Council of metropolitan Detroit. The two groups issued a joint' statement Monday, saying the bill, approved by the Legislature, vio- lated the concept of separation of church and state. They urged Gov. George Romney to veto the bill. "Every study of Michigan high- er education made in the past 10 years has advocated strengthen- ing; Michigan private higher edu- cation,"' said Dr. Gorton Rieth- miller, president of Olivet College.{ The Rev. Laurence Britt, presi- dent of the University of Detroit, quoted the report of the gover- nor'sblue ribbon committee on higher education as recommend- ing that the Legislature and State Board of Education "be on watch for ways and means whereby the present private college programs might be stimulated and en- larged." The tuition grant program, al- lowing students up to $500 a year, depending on family income, would cost the state an estimated $3.3 million its first year, based on Board of Education estimates of average grants of $400 to some 8,000 students. The bill was supported by the presidents of Michigan's three largest public universities, Reith- miller said ,adding: "The Council of Churches and the Jewish Council opposition to this legislation is misguided and certainly not based on fact. They have not, to my knowledge, con- sulted with any college president before condemning the bill. "It is not sufficient today to trot out the bogeyman of church and state as an excuse to deny young Michigan citizens an op- portunity for a college education merely because they choose to attend a private college," he said. Performers here are rehearsing for the opening of the new Ypsilanti Greek Theatre earlier this week. The Ypsilanti Greek Theatre: A Complement of Old and New Regent Plans To Retire at End of Yea Brablec Says Other Obligations Keep Him From Reelection Bid Regent Carl Brablec announced yesterday he will retire at the end of the year when his term expires. He said his decision was due to the "intensifying obligations" of his position as superintendent of Roseville schools. Regents are now elected -for eight-year terms. Every other year the terms of two Regents, this year Brablec's and Regent Irene Mur- phy's, end and the voters must choose Regents for the next eight years. Brablec, who holds a masters degree from the University be- came a Regent in 1957. While a Regent he has been active in edu- cation, serving onthe governor's Committee on Educational Fi- nance, the State Advisory Com- mittee on Teacher Education. and Certification, and the Association of Governing Boards of Universi- ties and Colleges. In his announcement yesterday, Brablec said, "I will leave this association with the University with the greatest reluctance." Upon learning of the decision, University President Harlan H. Hatcher said, "We very much regret that the press of profes- sional responsibilities has caused Regent Brablec to decide not to seek reelection to the Board of Regents, and that the University will not continue to benefit from his wise counsel as Regent." Regent Robert Briggs said he was sorry to learn of the decision. He called Brablec a "fine Regent." Another Regent, Paul Goebel, also expressed his sorrow that Brablec will be leaving, and called Brablec "a good member of the board." Left open is the question of Brablec's position on the Regents' committee on presidential selec- tion. Since he will be working on it as Regent until his term Offi- cially ends December 31, there is a possibility he will continue on it until it selects a president. When asked yesterday, several Regents said they did not know what action would be taken on this matter. By BETSY COHN with the most refined grace and, Decoate womn wappe indignity imaginable.

The presentation of "The Oresteia" itself is a first in that this is the first time in modern history that it has been presented in one day (three hours) instead of the traditional five-hour pro- duction carried on for two days. The physical aspect of the theatre is also a first in that it will be the first of its kind con- structed anywhere in the world for over 2000 years. The theatre, designed by Harry Weese & Assoc. (who also designed the Arena Theatre in Seattle, Washington), has already been foreseen as "the most elegant out- door theatre in the United States," by the optimistic acting company. The acting company, their movements, the music, the effect of the outdoors, the interesting interchange between ancient and modern, the scenery, the makeup: these are only the more blatant reasons for a prediction of success for the new Greek Theatre Pro- gram. F ETHICS: 1966, a re-run of the prize- winning Greek trilogy from the 458 B.C. drama festival. There was no "Star Spangled Banner" fanfare, just the amplified sound of the evening air whirring into the microphones which dangled' over the outdoor stage. In the home-team dugout sat a twenty piece orchestra under the direction of Konstantin Simonovic. In the visitor's dugout was seated a prompter shuffling through his scripts with a battery flashlight. The overhead lights dimmed and the spotlight began a calculated search for one of the three large metallic blue doors which was to be one third of the scenery used in "The Oreste"a." From the center door appeared Alexis Solomos, former director of the National Greek Theatre in Athens and presently the artistic director of the Ypsilanti Greek Theatre. He greeted his first American Greek Theatre audience with a slight bow; a gesture which has been three years in the making. This was the premiere perform- ance of the Ypsilanti Greek Theatre which has been in blue- print and planning since 1963. As Solomos spoke of the ancient Greek tradition, automobiles could be heard in the distance.

Singer continued that much needed social science knowledge will help guide morals in the right direction. He said that a person who felt he had a patriotic duty to fight in Viet Nam might change his attitude if he knew of the relationships between the war and the stock market. IQ Criterion Admittance to Mensa is based solely on I.Q. which must be at 1... 4. 1 A6 ----------I. . ht. F. ,^ I.Q. test," said Feldheim. "I took one in the army, I remember. Anyway, I don't have any faith in IQ tests." Never Taken Test Scott said he had never taken an IQ test.,"I wouldn't take one to join Mensa, either," he said. "I find enough intellectual stimula- tion on the campus from my col- leagues and students." Both Singer and Scott voiced similar sentiments when they said that a group such as Mensa would the respect they get on campus and can't take the comedown." In a mild rebuttal to this line of thinking Professor Singer stat- ed that a high IQ does not insure wisdom. He said a person could have an IQ of 155 yet lack sense. In other words, a high IQ is no direct insurance against ignorance. As far as Mensa's purposes are concerned, there is general agree- ment as to an omnibus function rather than a specific scientific ideology.

COPI Despite a court order to answer a grand jury's questions, the managing editor of the Oregon Daily Emerald refused again yes- terday to identify students which she quoted in an article on the use of marijuana at the University of Oregon. Annette Buchanan, a junior from Seattle, will face charges of contempt of court at a trial sched- uled for June 27. She faces a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $300 fine. Miss Buchanan refused to follow an order issued Monday by Circuit ,,a 'Ew,rd TLeavthat she tional guarantees of freedom of speech and the press. Frye then took her before Judge Leavy, and after a two hour hear- ing, he ordered her to answer the grand jury's questions. When she again refused to do so yesterday, Frye moved that she be placed in contempt of court for failing to follow Judge Leavy's order. Miss Buchanan's attorney, Ar- thur Johnson, asked for 10 days in which to prepare arguments against Frye's motion. Judge Leavy said he would hear the arguments on June 27. Misg Buhanan said vesterdaY guarantees in the first and four- teenth amendments guaranteeing freedom of speech and of the press, and * that in being managing edi- tor of the Daily Emerald she is a state employe and does not have to reveal confidential discussions.
