The answer undoubtedly lies in the field of a special class of chemical substances called phero- mones, according to Prof. Edward 0. Wilson of Harvard University. Speaking before a zoology de- partment seminar on "Chemical Communication Among Animals," Prof. Wilson explained yesterday that a pheromone is a substance secreted externally by an animal and capable of influencing the be- havior of other animals of the same species. Systems involving such substances are now believed to constitute the dominant means of communication in many animal species. There are two major ways in which pheromones released by one animal can influence the receptor system of another. In one man- ner, the "releaser effect," the pheromone works directly upon the receiver's central nervous sys- tem, Prof. Wilson said. If the principal function of the pheromone is to trigger a chain of physiological events in the re- cipient without itself necessarily being directly responsible for the final action, it is referred to as a "primer effect," he added. The limiting factor of an ani- mal's ability to detect a given odor must be in the receptor system, Group Honors Rachmaninoff A club to perpetuate the 'vorks of Sergei Rachmaninoff has been organized by University students. The group is issuing recordings of Rachmaninoff preludes to radio stations with a request that they be played as the first step in the advancement of the music of this early 20th century composer and conductor. The club, created by John Checkaway, '65, and Charles Cree- cy, '66, plans to hold lectures and piano demonstrations of Rach- maninoff's music. The group has a current mem- bership of 40, and is a non-profit organization, said the founders. Prof. Wilson continued. Yet this limiting factor in insects, for ex- ample, goes far beyond the value it would take on in a human be- ing. It has been estimated that one molecule of the sex attractant pheromone from a female gypsy moth is sufficient to excite a male moth when the latter's antenna is touched by the molecule, he said. The pheromones of mammals are not nearly so well understood as are those of insects, Prof. Wil- son said. However,,recent studies have shown that the response members of the cat family display upon encountering catnip stems from the fact that this plant mim- ics a pheromone prominent in fe- line mating activity, "The significance of catnip is thus another example of what I call 'Wilson's Rule'-that any ani- mal behavior pattern which at first seems irrational, inexplicable and not related in any clear way to other patterns of behavior is usually shown in the end to be concerned with courtship," he add- ed. The possibility that human pheromones comparable to those of lower organisms do indeed exist cannot be dismissed, Prof. Wilson said. He added that striking sexual differences have been observed in the ability of humans to smell certain substances. One French biologist has re- ported that the odor of a chemi- cal substance called exaltolide is perceived clearly only by sexually mature females and at that is dis- cerned most sharply at about the ime of ovulation. Studies of fire ants have shown of pheromones that they are se- creted in very minute substances and quickly diffuse into the air. They have a strong ability to at- tract other animals of the one species involved. One pheromone found i4 fire ants has been shown to be an "alarm" substance. When it is re- leased into the air at a relatively low level, other ants come to in- vestigate; when it is emitted at a high level, other ants recognize it as an alarm signal and prepare to attack. Prof. Wilson noted that the study of chemical communication in the animal kingdom is still at an early stage. The discovery of a chemical "syntax" relating the bits of information relayed chem- ically by other animals is but one of the interesting problems for which scientists .hope to come up with a solution in the foreseeable future, he concluded.

TO Conduct TYPE OF RESIDENCE: Choral Unin Oxford Project Requests . Delineation of 'U's Views (Continued from Page 1) and prepare our own food and maintain an honor system on the basis that this is an apartment house. "Because of this dichotomy of philosophy, we would like a def- inite policy statement about what type of living unit this is to be. We feel this is important so we may better understand the basis for present and future policy." Control, But "The University has got to have some control, but we want to see how they draw fine lines of au- thority," Seeley Vice-President Sue Joyce, '64, said yesterday. She called the request a "clarifica- tion." The other specific recommend- ations were in response to opinions of residents expressed "at house meetings and just told to mem- bers of the steering committee," Miss Joyce explained. First, the report states, "Due to the unique situation of Seeley House, we feel we should be allow- ed to remain in our apartments during Thanksgiving, Christmas and spring vacations." The only possible objiections toI this are "personnel and security," the report indicates. It suggested, that graduate residents be charged with responsibilities handled by the advisors and night watchmen in the non-vacation period. There' are 32 graduate women in Seeley. Close Quarters "With four girls living in such close quarters, study space and a study atmosphere are at a prem- ium,'' the report claims. It rec- ommends building a study room in the basement to alleviate the problem. Although solicitation is forbid- den in other University residence halls, deliveries should be allowed in Seeley, it was proposed. DIAL 5-6290 FAA ~Shows at 1, 3,5, 7, 9 P.M.
