'U' Expert Calls Dental
Aid Report Premature
The Senator Was Indiscreet?
By FRAN IVICK
A national magazine's sensa-
tional report of a new treatment
which insures against 90 per cent
of tooth decay, was deemed pre-
mature by a University dental au-
thority.
The new method, in which the
teeth are coated with a fast-hard-
ening precipitate, was formulated
by Baylor University Dr. Bern-
hard Gottlieb, a former member
of the University dental school

faculty, according to Dr. Floyd D.
Ostrander, professor of dentistry.
"SO FAR," Dr. Ostrander said,
"the treatment hasn't been tried
on enough people to prove any-
thing. The report should have
first appeared in a scientific jour-
nal, with popular publication held
off until tests were conclusive."
The new treatment should be
tried on hundreds of people be-
fore it can be accepted as ef-
fective, according to Ostrander,
who said that many other fac-
tors may have caused the de-
cline of decay in the patients
treated.
"At any rate, I doubt that the

Speech Play
Opens Here
Wednesday
Employing some of the most
spectacular production techniques
in the history of the University
theatre productions, the Depart-
ment of Speech will present "The
Tragical History of Doctor Faus-
tus," on Jan. 12 through 15.
Written by Christopher Mar-
lowe in 1589, the play has sel-
dom been done in recent years but
received the unanimous acclaim
of the critics when produced by.
Orson Wells on Broadway as a
Federal Theatre project. The
noted Old Vic Theatre Company
is including it in their current
repertoire.
"DR. FAUSTUS" is the story of
a German philosopher who sells
his soul to the devil in exchange
for universal knowledge. Many
scenes are centered in the realm
of the supernatural and the en-
tire play is written in verse.
One of the most unique in-
novations in the production
which is under the direction of
Dr. Hugh Norton will be the use
of special off-stage musical ef-
fects. Special music has been
composed especially for this
performance by Edward Chuda-
coff of the University School of
Music.
Another feature of the produc-
tion will be a group of original
dances directed by Dr. Juana
Laban of the Physical Education
Department.
Tickets for the play will go on
sale at the Lydia Mendelssohn box
office Monday, Jan. 10 with mail
orders being received now. A spe--
cial student rate will be in effect
for the Wed. and Thurs. per-
formances.
EDITOt'S NOTE-This is another
in a series of articles on men's hon-
orary societies at the University as1
prepared by Janet Watts.
The Pharoah mave have his
eye on you.
. If you are a sophomore man in
the literary, education, business
administration, or forestry school
and aritive in campus affairs, you
may be eligible for Sphinx, cam-
pus honor society.
*~ * *
ABOUT 25 of these men are se-
lected each spring by the groups
for tapping. For initiation the
new men must scrub Angell Hall
steps arid generally undergo a
'rough hazing" which includes
bowing before an image of Sphinx
set into the wall of the Angell
Hall lobby.
The society, which was in-
active during the war, has now
returned to its pre-war status.
The main project of the year is
to "get imderwtiy," said Presi-
dent Gus Stager.
"Our main idea is to .give the
initiative to changes in the cam-
pus scene which would better the
University," he said.
Sphinx members may be iden-
tified by the small gold pin in the
shape of a Pharoah head.

Everett Reimer, Survey Re-
search Center consultant, ex-
plained that workers' participa-
tion in decisions about their own
jobs increases productivity, ac-
cording to results of two experi-
ments carried out by the Center.
HE SPOKE at the final session
of the two-day Management
Clinic sponsored by the Interna-
tional City Managers' Association
and the University Institute of
Public Administration.
One of the experiments, car-
ried out in the central office of
a life-insurtnee company,
showed that high-production
groups had less close supervi-
sion, more democratic supervi-
sion, more democratic supervis-
ors, more group pride and more
sa tisfaction from their work.
But, Reimer warned, not all the
results may be generally appli-
cable.
The other experiment, among
Detroit Edison Co. employees,
iended to confirm the importance
Of worker-participation, he said.
A major difficulty in social-sci-
ence research is applying the re-
sults to the practical situation,
Reimer pointed out. Competent
technicians are ready to apply
physical sciences' research find-
ings to industry, but "we haven't
any social engineers," he said.

THE NEW TREATMENT calls
for swabbing dry teeth with a so-.
lution of zinc chloride, followed
by potassium ferrocyanide and
silver nitrate. The hard, dried
coating is supposed to protect the
teeth from decay and lower cold
sensitivity for nearly a year.
"From the tests mentioned in
the article, Y have found no
proof of the duration," Dr. Os-
trander said. "Furthermore, the
treatment hinges on Dr. Gott-
lieb's theory of tooth decay,
which isn't widely accepted."
Dr. Gottlieb believes that de-
cay is restricted to fissures in the
outer enamel, which the new pre-
cipitate plugs up, and to tooth
dentine, whereas the most popular'
theory is that decay can occur
any place on the enamel.

NEW VIEW FOR SCIENTISTS:
Radar Antenna Adorns Engineering Building
A Signal Corps radar antenna
was recently mounted on the roof
of the East Engineering Building,
where it commands a majestic
view of Ann Arbor.
The three ton set, used during
the war for anti-aircraft fire con-
trol, will now be used for labora-
tory instruction and research
work in the science of electronics,
according to Robert Hegler of the
electrical engineering department,
who is in charge of the project.
observe a practical application of
tle electrical principles so dili-
gently studied in the class room.
The radar equipment will also be
valuable for the education of Air
Force officer personnel attending
the University, Hegler pointed
out.
the pulse encounters an object,
such as an airplane, part of it is
reflected back.
After the object is located by
the lower of two frequencies, its
movements can be followed by the
higher frequency of the antenna.
Two trucks and a large trailer
were required to bring the massive
radar set to Ann Arbor. The major
parts of the equipment are being
installed in a laboratory directly
beneath the antenna.
Hegler hopefully predicted that
the installation of the set would
soon be completed and the an-
tenna placed in operation in the
early part of next semester.

At first, it was principally used
