BRINK OF SOLUTION:
Details Metamorphosis Study

See Possible Tuition Hike
To Supplement State Aid'

By STEVEN HALLER
The mystery of what brings
about metamorphosis in insects
should be solved within the next
two years, Prof. Howard Schnei-
derman of Western Reserve Uni-
versity predicted here recently.
Addressing a zoology depart-
ment seminar on "Some Recent
Studies on the Hormonal Control
of Insect Growth," Prof. Schnei-
derman explained that current re-
search into this question centers
about the secretions of three
bodies: the corpora allata (a pair
Colleges Unite
In Recruiting
Negro Students
The University of Chicago is
embarking upon a new program
to recruit academically talented
Negroes.
The search will be evenly dis-
tributed among northern and
southern' Negroes. In the search
for bright Negroes in the South,
Chicago, is working in conjunction
with the Ivy League colleges and
the "Seven Sisters" schools.
Eastern schools officials are at-
tempting to make it clear to
southern Negroes that there are
possibilities of admission to their
institutions with the help of fi-
nancial aid.
The schools participating in the
project are Harvard, Yale, Brown,
Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, the
University of Pennsylvania and
Princeton in "the Ivy League; and
the "Seven Sisters" of Barnard,
Bryn Mawr, Radcliffe, Mount
Holyoke, Smith, Vassar and Wel-
lesley. ,
These schools have been send-
ing admissions officers and stu-
dents to southern high school with
primarily Negro student bodies.
Although the Ivy League and'
"Seven Sisters" schools are con-
centrating on recruitment from
the SQuth, Chicago plans to split
its energies between southern
Negroes and Negroes in the Chi-
cago area.
Both northern and southern re-
cruitment programs include trips
to the Chicago campus for pros-
pective students.

of glands located behind the
brain), a pair of glands in the
prothorax (that segment of an
insect's thorax bearing the legs),
and a group of specialized cells
in the brain called neurosecretory
cells because they are neurons
which also secrete a hormone.
According to the generally held
theory, the specialized brain cells
release a hormone that activates
the prothoracic glands. These
glands then secrete a substance
known as ecdysone. which in turn
acts on the cells of the body to
bring about their growth and dif-
ferentiation. In the course of
their differentiation, the epider-
mal cells form a new exoskeleton
or cuticle and replace the old one.
in the process known as molting.
Corpora Allata
On the other hand, the function
of the corpora allata appears to
be one of retarding maturation,
Prof. Schneiderman noted. The
secretion from these glands is
called the "juvenile hormone" be-
cause of its ability to promote lar-
val development and prevent the
insect from growing into an adult.
P r o f. Schneiderman explained
that the larval cells of an insect
are stimulated to grow and syn-
thesize larval cuticle in the pres-
ence of the juvenile hormone.,
Neither the brain hormone nor
the juvenile hormone has been
definitely isolated and identified
as yet. Prof. Schneiderman point-
ed out that there are several sub-
stances which copy the actions of
either or both hormones and
Appoint Davey
TOStudyitB
Prof. Winthrop N. Davey of the
Medical School has been appoint-
ed by United States Surgeon Gen-
eral Dr. Luther T. Terry to serve
on a task force to consider the
problem of tuberculosis in the
United States.
In appointing Prof. Davey,
Terry said that concern has been
growing about the degree of ef-
fectiveness of the nation's tuber-
culosis control efforts. The task
force will be asked to study the
matter and recommend remedial
steps to the United States Public
Health Service.

which may prove to be their
source. Since these similar sub-
stances are generally widespread
in occurrence-particularly in an
insect's diet-pinpointing the true
source of the hormones is not an
easy task, he added.
One substance which has been
studied at some length is called
farnesol. But although this chem-
ical has been hailed as the true
juvenile hormone by some work-
ers, Prof. Schneiderman disputed
this claim. "We can prepare an
extract from moths which is 10,000
times as active as farnesol," he
noted.
Farnesol
In addition, farnesol is a com-
mon contaminant of the tatty de-
posits in an insect's body, so that
its content would be the same even
if the corpora allata were removed.
This fact has been borne out in
experiments with giant silkworms,
Prof. Schneiderman said.
The brain's hormone's true
identity is also still in doubt. Some
workers have suggested that the
chemical in question is choles-
terol, a substance better known
as a possible cause of heart di-
sease in human beings.
"But cholesterol can't be the
brain hormone, no matter what
the data says: there is 10,000
times as muchacholesterol in the
insect's blood as any amount we
might inject," Prof. Schneiderman
said.

mittee will be "asking the stu-
dent to support his share of educa-
tion," Beadle observed.
In addition, even figuring on a
state revenue intake of $580 mil-
lion-an optimal figure-"the ap-
propriation committee would at
best be able to recommend only a
$10 million increase for higher
education," he said.
If the universities are so anx-
ious for funds, they should be will-
'Lampoon'
A mysterious 'extra' issue of
the Harvard Crimson has added
to the controversy on that cam-
pus over a dean's report which
accuses students of sex parties
in the men's dormitories.
The newspaper said women
would not be permitted in Har-
vard undergraduate dormitories
and houses for a trial period of
four months.
However, Crimson editors
disclaimed any responsibility
for the extra and promptly
blamed the staff of the Lam-
poon, Harvard's humor maga-
zine. Officials of the university
said there was "not a grain of
truth" to the publication and
that no order rescinding pa-
rietal rules has been issued.

ing to provide some within their
systems, he observed.
Constitutional Question
However, whether the tuition
hike will be accepted by other
state-supported schools may hinge
partially on the constitutional au-
tbority of the old State Board of
Education.
Under the new constitution tak-
ing effect Jan. 1, each of the 10
schools will become separate con-
stitutional bodies - called "body!
corporates" - w i t h governing
boards that would authorize the
tuition raises.
However, at the same time, the
old State Board of Education re-
mains in existence, vested current-
ly with the authority to control fee
increases at four universities -
Eastern Michigan, Northern Mich-
igan, Western Michigan and Cen-
tral Michigan.

The state superintendent of
public instruction, Lynn M. Bart-
lett, a voting member, has opposec
tuition increases for the next year
on the grounds "that able, com-
petent students are being pricec
right out of the market."
Beadle took exception to critics
of alleged high tuition costs in
commenting that the raise is cur-
rently favored by his committee
which feels "that education is no
becoming too expensive if a stu-
dent is seriously enough interested
in getting it."
