we did at Hiroshima and Nagasaki
but hundreds of them that could
cripple this or any other nation in
nation to create a political author-
ity to control the use of atomic
energy within its borders.
1946-Atomic Energy Act
International control of atomic
energy was helped with the crea-
tion of the U.S. Atomic Energy
Commission under the Atomic
Energy Act of 1946.
Under this act a five man com-
mission was to be appointed by
the President with the consent of
the Senate to regulate and- govern
the use of atomic energy in the
U.S.
Under the pressure of public
opinion the act stressed that these
men be from civilian life rather
than the military as some politi-
cians wanted.
A Trend Toward War
People suspected that if the
commission contained all military
men, all atomic developments
would be toward wartime uses.
Such actions were considered in-
jurious to this nation on the
international scene
But still politicians recognized
military advice would necessary in
the successful operation of such a
commission.
Thusthe Atomic Energy Act
stressed that the new commission
be given a military laison com-
mittee to inform it "of military
atomic research" which would be
to regulate development of atomic
weapons.
Scientific Advice
There also is a General Advisory
Committee composed of scientists
which "advises the commission on
scientific matters."
Basically, this means by which
the Commission is able to control
atomic energy is "government
monopoly."
Believing that atomic energy
belongs to the nation, the govern-
ment maintains a constant and
rigid atomic energy moponoly.
Itdmonopolizesall atomic patents
and investigations, and all hui-
nesses and industries which use
atom devices must obtain a license1
from the commission.
Establishes Research
In addition the Commission was
directed to establish a contnuous
program of atomic energy research.
Thus all directives and powers of
the AEC work in two directions-
toward the public good and gov-
ernment monopoly of atomic en-
ergy.
But even now the work is only
half done in the struggle for inter-
national control of atomic energy.
In Year III of the atom age the
people wondered what steps other
nations would take in the event
that they unravel the atom secrets.
For International Control
For an effective international
control some advocated that the
U.S. stockpile A-bombs to secure
peace in the world. This, they
thought, would keep the balance
of military atomic power in the
hands of America. The number of
bombs would be the deciding fac-
tor, they thought.
On this Einstein wisely com-
mented, "I do not believe that we
can prepare for war and at the

omie War
same time prepare for a world
community."
T h e r e were some, Einstein
among them, who maintained that
a world government was essential
for international control of the
atom.
Not in World Government
Many others held this to be a
good idea but one which could not
succeed. They supported their ar-
guments saying that nationalistic
feelings would not permit this-
and then there would be the con-
bict between governmental princi-
ples such as those of democracy
and communism.
World governments, realizing
that atomic energy control on an
international basis lay not in world
government; nor in arms races,
nor fear of the bombs' effects,
turned to the United Nations.
At the instigation of the U.S.,
Britain, and Canada, later joined
by Russia, China and France, an
atomic energy commission similar
to that of the U.S. was established
in the UN to develop a plan for the
international control of atomic
energy.
Soviet Bloc Hampered
However, in the early stages of
planning for an effective interna-
tional control, the commission was
continually hampered by the
Soviet Bloc.
And now in Year XII of the
Atomic Age the world has not Yet
reached an accepted program for
the control of atom energy on a
world basis.
However it would be erring to
say that no progress has been
made in the various meetings with
other world powers.
Many meetings and conferences
have shown that the world wants
atomic energy used as it should
be-for the benefit and advance-
ment of man.
A ssociaticrn
Plans Grow
In six months the Alumni As-
sociation's student governor plan
has evolved from an idea into an
active group with growing inter-
ests.
"Student governors" were or-
ganized to help connect regional
University Alumni clubs with stu-
dents in Ann Arbor. Though still
not completely realized, the Asso-
ciation's wish is to have each local
club represented by two students
on campus.
Students who are interested in
the plan may appear before a
screening committee at 10 a.m.
on Saturday, Feb. 16.
The screening committee is es-
pecially interested in interviewing
women from Birmingham; De-
troit; Elmira, N.Y.;Long Island,
N.Y.; Mansfield, Ohio; Milwau-
kee, Wis.; New Haven, Conn.;
Philadelphia, Pa.; Pontiac; Roch-
ester, N.Y.; Saginaw; San Fran-
cisco, Calif.; and the Seattle area.
It is also loking for men from
Chicago, Ill.; Grand Rapids;
Louisville, Ky.; Menominee; New
Jersey; and Phliadelphia, Pa.
Upperclassmen are preferred,
but others will be considered.
At the last student governors
meeting, a policy committee was
formed to consider the problems
and goals of the group.
It was also decided to contact
the foreign University clubs about
the plan.
Leith Found Guilty
Thomas C. Leith, '60, was found
guilty of forgery recently in Ann
Arbor Municipal Court.
He was sentenced to five years
of probation, given a $75 fine with
$100 costs and ordered to pay $15
retribution to University Hospital.
Planar tan
May Reveal
Big Things
By DIANE FRASER
Beneath the busy classrooms of
Mason Hall in a small laboratory
filled with aquariums, the minute
flatworm planarian is learning to
I respond to various stimuli, accord-
ing to James V. McConnell, of the
psychology department.
Anyone who has taken Zoology
1 is familiar with this transparent
animal, less than an inch in
length, with the remarkable ability
of regeneration. McConnell, as-
sisted by Don Kimball, Grad, and
Al Jacobson, '57, has shown that
the planarian also posses the abil-
ity to learn.
Simplest Animal
"The planarian is the simplest
animal to posses the same type of
nervous system as higher animals,
the synaptic nervous system," Mc-
Connell began. "By studying the
planarian, we hope to learn more
about the nervous system which
might apply to more complex ani-
mals such as humans."
Initial work on planaria was
done by McConnell and a colleague
at the University of Texas in 1955.
After receiving his Ph.D. in Psy-
chology from the University of
Texas in 1956, McConnell came to
the University this fall and again
began work on planaria.
Contracts to Light
The study is based on the as-
umption that "if this type of ner-
vous system is necessary for any
true learned behavior to occur,
this organism should be the lowest
species to demonstrate such be-
havior," the psychology instructor
explained as he opened the door
to the small basement lab.
"The planarian is first given
two seconds of light and then one
second of light and shock; he con-
tracts to this shock. As learning
takes place, this contraction moves
forward in time as he responds to
the stimuli of the light alone."
150 Trials Needed
The experimentor said that it
takes approximately 150 trials to
condition an animal. The criterian
for learning is to make the cor-
rect response, a contraction to 23
out of 25 trials.
These "educated" planaria are
then cut in half and each section
allowed to regenerate or grow into
a complete planarian. McConnell
then tests these regenerated ani-
mals to see if they have retained
the previous learning.
"If cut in half, both sections of
the planarian remember the con-
ditioned response which is incred-
ible," McConnell observed. "You
presume that learning takes place
in the brain yet when the 'tail'
section grows a new brain, the
new brain remembers what the old
brain learned,"
Change In System?
McConnell believes that this
could indicate that learning oc-
curs not only in the brain but as
a change in the entire nervous
system. "To stretch a point, this
could be applied to learning to
drive an automobile, the learned
reaction is not just a brain change
but traces of learning are found in
the whole nervous system of the
body," he said.
Learning Retention?
"The first control in our expei-
ment is to see if learning is equally
retained by the regenerated and
the original planarian," McCon-
nell explained. "The second con-
trol is to cut unconditioned ani-
mals and to control for any effect
fromthe cutting on their learning
Iability.
"If it takes the usual 150 trials
for these unconditioned, regener-
ated animals to learn, we know
that the cutting alone makes no
difference in their responding to
the light," he continued. "This is
the part of the experiment we are
now working on."
