sm THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2S, 1955 TUESDAY. OCTOBER 2~. 1955 I, CBOATS TO SGC: pane Hall Director eads Varied Life Prize Winning Geneticist Fears Heredity Havoc BOB Dr. Herman J. Muller Warns Against 'Utopia of Indiana U. of Inferiority' MARSHALL 4, By CAROL PRINS An avid interest in anything from SGC to sailing a C-boat characterizes peppy, brown-eyed Georgianna McLean, director of student activities at Lane Hall. Miss McLean claims residence in at least five states but really considers Columbus, Ohio, as her home. The twenty-three year old political science major began her undergraduate work at Macalest- er College in Minnesota, later transferring to the University of Wisconsin for a summer of studies. Studied At Sorbonne Continuing her education at the Sorbonne, Miss McLean worked on th~e European Defense Council planning in its early stages. Pharmacist's To Convene This year's Annual Pharmacy Lectures will be held tomorrow in Rackham. With registration beginning at 9:30 a.m., the morning session will open at 10:30 a.m. in Rackham Amphitheater. Prof. Richard A. Deno of the pharmacognosy de- partment will speak on "The Mich- igan Pharmacy Study," and Prof. Roscoe W. Cavell of the psychiatry department will talk about "Men- tal Health." Beginning at 1:30 p.m. in the Rackham Amphitheater, the after- noon session will feature talks on "Modern Gerontology," by Prof. Otto J. Mallery of the internal medicine department, and "Pro- moting Professional Pharmacy," by Robert E. Abrams, Executive Secretary of the American College of Apothecaries." Also presented in the afternoon session will be a discussion of "The Responsibilities of the Pharmacist to His Profession," by Robert J. Gillespie, member of the Michigan State Board of Pharmacy, and Al- bert R. Pisa, Chairman of the Michigan State Pharmaceutical Association Committee on Phar- macy Manpower Needs, and Stan- ley J. Byington, President-Elect of the MSPA. Concluding the day of lectures will be a dinner at 6:30 p.m. at the League, with Prof. Henry Gomberg, assistant director of the Phoenix Project, speaking on, "The Prospects of Peacetime Uses of Atomic Energy." Now working on the thesis for her master's degree at Ohio State University, Miss McLean hopes to enter divinity school in September of 1956. Most of Miss McLean's work as student director is divided be- tween work in the area of Lane Hall-University Relations and in the World University Service. The WUS is an international student organization representing thirty- eight nations. Aiding internation- al education and fund-raising are its main projects. It is sponsored by the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faith groups and the Na- tional Students Association. SGC of Vital Interest The work of the Student Gov- ernment Council is of vital in- terest to the student director. She believes that the group should be an action organization w.which handles all campus problems. "Lots of areas can be handled by a group of mature student lead- ers," Miss McLean pointed out. -Daily-Glenn Kopp GEORGIANNA McLEAN Directs student activities at Lane Hall "For example, the action being taken at the present time on de- ferred rushing is a good start in making the student government group a responsible and respected organization on campus." Spoek Claims Modern Parents Not Educated in Child Care NEW YORK (P)-The hero of the American nursery, Dr. Benja- min Spock, says the trouble with parents is they are not educated-_- to be parents, that is. "Academic education instills in young women (and men too) that a career is more important than a family," the widely known peria- trician says. "Young people grad- uate with an absorbing philosophy that all good is accomplished out- 'side the home." The author of the perennial best seller "Baby and Child Care" sug- gested in an interview: "Why not connect nursery schools with high schools and col- leges, making students aware of their primary role in life and getting them in the mood for it by everyday contact with children? As it is now the spirit of education tends to divorce them from the idea." Dr. Spock, a visiting professor at Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, has just started a Sunday afternoon TV program for mothers (NBC 3-3:30). A tall, pleasant, bespectacled man, he says the joy of life should be in doing things - not just reading about them. "All knowledge," he contends, "gets in the way of easy doing, one reason why it is difficult for a nurse, pediatrician or psychologist to become an easy-going parent. Dr. Spock maintains there is no substitute for motherly love in the home and adds: "The working mother might find excuses for maintaining a career- more money, bigger house and car, private schools for the youngsters -all things her children can do without in exchange for her devo- tion at home. But these are not the real reasons she works any- way. They've been schooled to work and it is emotionally essen- tial to them." "Easy does it" should be the rule of thumb in child-bearing, says the doctor, "But Americans cannot accept child-raising tradi- tions the way Europeans do. We see-saw our beliefs because there are so many theories, shifts and technical advances that we are thrown off balance.' We rely on books, and when the books change we go along." It is still important to thwart spoiling, Spock says, and many working mothers spoil because they have a feeling of guilt. Old directories will be picked up when the new ones are delivered. Miss McLean expressed the hope that Lane Hall and the Student Religious Association could fur- ther its activities and become a campus group of major import- ance like SGC. She indicated a proposed change inthe structure of the SRA similar to the change of the Student Legislature to SGC as an incentative in increasing the importance of the SRA and Lane Hall.,' Changes in the structure are hoped to promote participation in activities of the organization and classify its functions and respons- ibilities. Miss McLean men'tioned the importance of the role of re- ligion in the state university. "To often religion is concerned with one particular church or de- nomination and not enough em- phasis is put on a whole under- standing of religious life." BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (IP)-Dr.- Hermann J. Muller, Indiana Uni- versity"s Nobel Prize-winning gen- ticist, says we're headed for a "Utopia of inferiority" in which everyone will spend his leisure time nursing his ailments. In an article in Scientific Amer- ican, Dr. Muller said the threat to future generations from H-bomb fallout may be no greater than the heredity dangers from some other "hazards added by civilization." "Those who are relatively heav- ily loaded with genetic defects would consider it their obligation ... to refrain from transmitting their genes, except when they also possessed genes of such unusual value that the gain for the de- scendants was likely to outweight the loss," Dr. Muller said. Dr. "Muller noted that modern medicine and technology keep alive many persons who once would have died of inherited defects be- fore they became old enough to become parents. "It is probably a considerable understatement to say that half of the detrimental genes, which under primitive conditions would havemet genetic extinction, today survive and are passed on," he said. Dr. Muller was one of the first Telephone Books To Be Distributed Distribution of new telephone directories for the Ann Arbor area will begin November 2. Approxi- mately 30,000 copies will be given out in the city proper. Dexter, Chelsea, Whitmore Lake, and Manchester have been alloted about 5,800 copies. scientists to warn of the dangers to future generations from fallout of atomic weapons, but he said: "If the dead of the misuse of nuclear energy awakens mankind not only to the gentic dangers confrinting him but also to the gentic opportunities, then this will have been the greatest peacetime benefit that radioactivity could bestow upon us."

The first chest X-rays were taqt- en in a State Health Department truck containing X-ray equipment shortly after 1 p.m. yesterday. The truck will be located at the corner of Main and Ann streets until Nov. 1. The blue and yellow truck is scheduled to be in Ann Arbor for 18 days. Health officials expect to dis- cover 11 cases of suspected TB, 11 suspected instances of cancer and eight cases of heart disease among each 1,000 X-ray plates returned to Lansing. Two of the 11 suspected tuber- culosis cases will prove to be ac- tive. Since the state owned and op- erated trucks were first employed two weeks ago over 8,000 persons have been X-rayed. The majority of those already - - - - - - - - y 11 serviced were industrial plant workers throughout Washtenaw county. Health Educator Howard G. Hilton said, "It is the families, friends and neighbors of these workers w eare trying to get to take part in the program now." Hilton hoped that the industrial phase would be completed by to- night. Hilton added, "Everyone who has not had a chest X-ray during the past six months should find time to take advantage of this survey. "The entire process from regis- tration to X-ray, takes less than five minutes." The University will have a unit, similar to the one now in Ann Arbor, available at the Health Service, Nov. 9 to 15. Surveys will also be made in the neighboring cities of East Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Dexter, Whitmore Lake, Salem, and Willow Village.
