Salk Method
Evaluation,
To Continue
Over 1,800,000 school children in
the first three grades have parti-
cipated in the nation-wide Salk
vaccine evaluation study now be-
ing conducted.
The center of operations is the
Poliomyelitis Vaccine Evaluation
Center here, which the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
helped set up last January with a
$40,000 grant.
Under the direction of Dr.
Thomas Francis, Jr., chairman of
the Department of Epidemiology,
the program includes a complex
statistical analysis. During its
peak period at the beginning of
August, 117 students were employ-
ed in editing and coding records.
It is estimated that 150,000
workers were employed in the
field administering tests and pre-
paring records. The participants
have been taken from 220 sample
areas and cover 44 states.
The National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis granted $850,-
000 for the Salk vaccine evalua-
tion program, one of the largest
grants ever given by the Founda-
tion for a project to take place in
a single year.
According to Dr. Francis, re-
sults will not be available until
sometime after April. At the pres-
ent time program workers are in
the process of examining the re-
ports of polio cases among parti-
cipants and their families.

Religious Poll
Results Told
By Lane Hall
Representing one-ninth of the
student population, Catholics are
again the largest single religious
group on campus with 2,384 mem-
bers according to the annual re-
ligious census compiled by Lane
Hall.
A total of 16,651 students out of
the 18,000 enrollment filed their
denomination on registration "rail-
road tickets" showing a represen-
tation of 58 religious groups. Per-
sons having no preference totaled
2,800 while agnostics and Panthe-
ists numbered less than ten each.
Second largest group was Jews
with 2,005 members, an increase
of 52 over last year. Next are Me-
thodists with 1,937, Presbyterians
with 1,807, Episcopalians with 1,-
234 and Lutherans with 1,077.
All top six church groups show-
ed increases over last year's mark
except Episcopalians who dropped
one. Problems of enlarging church
seating capacity have followed the
record enrollment.
Other large campus groups in-
clude Baptists, Congregationalists,
and Protestants with smaller de-
nominations
Census statistics revealed sev-
eral little-known religious groups.
Although Druids listed in previous
years are no longer on campus,
small numbers of Armenian Apos-
tolic, Bahai, Berian, Ethical Cul-
ture, Gregorian, Holy Roller, and
Huguenot religions are represent-
ed.

Correct Existing Conditions
"We're not in business to prose-
cute," noted Ryan. "We just want
to correct existing conditions."
However, if landlords refuse to co-
operate, penalties up to $500
and/or 10 days in jail for each day
the violation continues may result
from court action.
Ann Arbor's new building depart-
ment organization was approved by
the common council last April,
and went into effect in July.
Before then, a building inspec-
tor, working under an Ann Arbor
building code, had operated with
the Engineering office.
Five Inspectors
Now headed by Ryan, the new
department has five inspectors and
operates under a code issued by
the Building Officials Conference
of America.
"The BOCA code is one of four
nationally recognized codes," said
Ryan. "It's the only code that
covers performance as well as spec-
ifications."
To supplement its building code,
Ann Arbor uses a housing code
passed by the state in 1917.

"In this election year, with a
two or three margin either way in
the senate chamber and every seat
a crucial factor, the recently va-
cated Nevada senatorship is a cru-
cial factor," commented Prof.
George A. Peek of the Political
Science Department.
The fwo year unexpired term of
the late Senator Pat McCarran
(D-Nev:), is being heatedly con-
tested. Republicans late Wednes-
day won a permanent injunction
from District Judge A. J. Maes-
tretti against a November elec-
tion to fill that position after a
three hour court battle.
Republican Nevada Governor
Charles Russell had alfeady ap-
pointed Reno Attorney Ernest
Brown to fill out the unexpired
term when the court hearing oc-
curred.
Prof. Peek further commented,
"Although the election law is not
precisely clear, perhaps even ob-
scure, reasonable men disagree as
to the Nevada court decision.
