n. When the ICC was planning R..'

s attended several talks and din-'
rs connected with buying the .

AS PROF. STEVENS recalls,
"The co-ops were nervous and ap-
prehensive. It was their first ven-
ture. They had been labelled as a
dangerous, subversive group, only
because they were misunderstood
by the community.. They were un-
derstood, when soon after the'pub-
lic realized that the co-op would
be paying taxes."
When the house was finally
purchased, and named after him,
Prof. Stevens was quite amazed
and flattered. "It was a free gift,
and purely given," he says, "and
one appreciates so much what he
doesn't deserve.,
The Ann Arbor Cooperative So-
ciety is another place in which
Prof. Stevens exerts his efforts. To-
day, he is not as active in the So-
ciety as he has been in the past,
but still remains one of its loyal
supporters.
He was a charter member of the
Society at its incorporation in
1936; served on the Credit Com-
mittee in 1937; was the editor of
the Newsletter at various times;
and served on the Board of Direc-
tors, and as its president from
1949-1952.
* * *
FIFTY-TWO year old Prof.
Stevens looks back to the fall of
1917, when he ran away from his
home in Fremont and worked in
the shops in Muskegon. He left
home and school because "school
seemed dull and tame, compared
to the war going on in Europe"
He finally returned to school,
and was graduated from Calvin
College in 1924. After one year
in a Theology Seminary con-
nected with Calvin, he came here
to do his graduate work in the
former rhetoric department, now
part of the English department.
Prof. Stevens was married in
June, 1925 to Angelyne Bouwssma,

New Cancer
Ilope Found
An investigation into gluta-
thione, a growth stimulating com-
pound, may lead to important dis-
coveries in cancer research, ac-
cording to Dr. Jere M. Bauer of
the Medical School.
Some cancers have been found
to have an abundant supply of
glutathione which decreases under
X-ray treatment, Dr. Bauer said.
The investigation which he
heads, under the sponsorship of
the American Cancer Society, is
attempting to learn how cancers
draw protein from normal tissues
to support the tumors and what
part glutathione may play in this

process.
Radulovich Case

Kiddle To Appear

Discussion at the first meeting
of a five session forum on college
and university teaching yesterday
centered mainly on getting the
student to perform at his highest
level of ability.1
An atmosphere must be provided
"which encourages full utilization
of the capacities of the individual,"
Prof. Harold M. Dorr of the poli-
tical science department said in
presenting the topic of the panel.
Telling what teacher and stu-
dent expect from each other, he
compared college to an intel-
lectual stairway which reveals
both new educational horizons
and new challenges.
Sponsored by the Committee on
College Relations, the meeting was

In order to find an answer to
the problem of getting students in-
terested and curious about psy-
chological data, the psychology de-
partment has set up two new
types of experimental classes with-
in their Psychology 31 program
this semester.
"We want to find out how to
make such a large introductory
course stimulating to all types of
students," Prof. Wilbert J. Mc-
Keachie of the psychology de-1
partment explained.
* * e
ACCORDING TO the plan, each
Psychology 31 instructor has se-
lected one or two students for
tutorial purposes. These students
will not attend class, but instead
will meet with the instructor once
a week, when many areas will be
discussed more thoroughly. The
students are expected to work ac-
cording to their own ability, and
the assignment of outside work
will be up to them.
These special students volun-
teered and were given a test
composed of questions from for-
mer final examinations in the
course.

twelve which will meet in seminars
for two hours a week.
In addition to these classes, the
former experimental program, the
student responsibility program, is
being continued by Joseph A. Pat-
ton.
Lasswell Asks
Reorganization
Prof. Harold D. Lasswell of the
Yale University Law School yester-
day pointed out that a reorganiza-
tion of political science is neces-
sary to develop techniques of em-
pirical verification.
In his discussion on the "Next"
Steps in Political Behavior Re-
search," the professor emphasized
that the political scientist has the
"responsibility" to use theory that
is scientific and testable by fact.
