RESULTS AND PROSPECTS By DR . W E I M E R K . H I C K S

I N 1983, WHE OUR COLLEGE HISTORIAN RECORDS the highlights of the second quarter of our second cen­

tury, he is certain to view the current period as an era of great change. In fact, momentous decisions are reached with such frequency that even those close to the scene have difficulty in keeping abreast with them. For this reason your President will devote his quarterly column to a mid-year review to supplement the more formal annual report printed each October.

What has happened since June? The Board of Trustees has, to be sure, launched a $15,000,000 Pro­gram for Academic Enrichment and a handful of friends have generously subscribed a third of the goal. But development funds and financial stability fail to reveal our primary concentration of the year. The vitality of an institution is reflected in the academic, and the major interests of the year have been focused upon the plans through which we maintain the liberal arts tradition. After two years of extensive study and planning, the College has ventured upon the first phase of its exciting program of year-around education through which we seek to increase efficiency, but even more to upgrade the quality of the intellectual life.

Last September, Kalamazoo transferred to a quar­ter system in which students carry only three subjects simultaneously. In the winter Alumnus, Dean Laur­ence Barrett expressed cautious optimism regarding the "three-three" plan. Students had labored more diligently than at any time within memory, as attested by a 60% jump in library checkouts and a marked im­provement in quarterly grades.

Another quarter has come to an end. Again we find reason for satisfaction. Marks for the winter term were still higher than in the fall. Certain tight spots in which too much course material was crowded into the eleven-week period have been eased. Student concern ignited by heavy scholastic pressures seem less apparent. Meanwhile, both students and faculty are adjusting to the changes in teaching techniques which are implicit in the new program.

Meanwhile, all are projecting plans for 1962-63, when the vanguard of off-campus programs becomes effective. A final group of 22 juniors have been named foreign scholars to study abroad this summer. Approxi­mately 85 sophomores will spend the fall and winter quarters overseas as a forerunner to the plan in which all qualified students will sh1dy abroad without extra cost. Secondary programs will be added in Aix-en­Provence and Muenster to supplement those sponsored in Caen and Bonn, respectively. The Spanish-speaking

SPRI G ALUMNUS, 1962

students will be accommodated in Madrid during the summer, but the fall contingency will be transferred to the University of Quito, Equador. English-speaking sections with limited enrollments will be introduced in Sierra Leone, Africa, and in Beirut, Lebanon. A handful of students with specific interests will be en­rolled at universities within Great Britain.

During the coming year we will also begin on a selected basis the off-campus thesis or research quar­ter, which is the senior experience demanding the highest level of academic maturity. Approximately 50 seniors will be rusticated from the campus in either the fall or winter quarter to develop independent pro­jects of an advanced nature.

In the area of experiential education, we can re­port that the directors of the career and service quar­ters have been appointed and their offices will open on May l. ·wallace Sikes, trained in cooperative educa­tion at Antioch College, will head the vocational ex­ploration program. Dr. John W. Thomas, currently Executive Secretary of the Council for Social Progress of the Baptist denomination, will initiate the service program. Under the leadership of experienced per­sonnel, these off-campus quarters promise to add sig­nificant enrichment to the educational opportunities.

Following the pilot year, the College will then move fully into a year-around operation with stag­gered off-campus periods. In July, 1963, the first sum­mer quarter will begin, with enrollment drawn from those juniors who studied abroad, from sophomores who will have spent the previous spring in experient­ial education, and from incoming freshmen mahicula­ting under the accelerated plan.

This brief report cannot reveal the magnitude of the current task, for the changes touch almost every facet of academic life. Faculty personnel, increased 20% this year, must be expanded by 33%. Freshmen classes must be screened with even greater care, for the Plan is predicted upon the admission of students with high competence and superior preparation. Teaching stations and office space and dormitory ac­commodations all pose problems as we look ahead to 1965, the year in which enrollment will have jumped 50% without appreciable increase in the number on campus simultaneously.

These are interesting days in which Kalamazoo seeks to give a realistic answer to the educational crisis which grips the nation. Today we look backwards with satisfaction and continue to face the future with confidence.

CANCER SCIENTIFIC CHALLENGE

By R A L P H W . M c K E E ' 3 4, M . A . , ' 3 5

THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD have searched constantly for ways of prolonging their lives. Even the re­

cording of the life-span of 969 years for Methuselah, mythical as it apparently is, has been of considerable note to peoples of all succeeding ages. Search for the "fountain of youth" by Ponce de Leon is further evi­dence of man's desire for longevity.

Advances of science and medicine have resulted in better diets, miracle drugs, and surgical procedures which have extended life. Yet this greater number of years has raised new medical problems- new viruses, new diseases and new areas for scientific research. An outstanding example is cancer and its increasing in­cidence among the peoples of the world. Cancer is no longer a single disease but consists of over 300 types of tissue cell disorders, abnormal growth, yet many of these may be derived from the same primary disorder and, hopefully, may respond to the same solution. More than two million people over the world, about one-quarter million Americans, die of cancer each year. Part of the reason for the high mortality is the fact that the early symptoms usually do not include pain, but may be more subtle manifestations ( eg., ex­cessive bleeding, tiredness, slow healing of sores and wounds, etc.). We must not be too pessimistic at this point since it has been estimated that a sizable per­centage of these people could have been saved had they understood their symptoms and consulted physi­cians earlier.

The observation that there are more cancer pa­tients today than in years past can be attributed to more than an improvement in the techniques of diagnosis. The incidence of cancer achwlly is increas­ing. This is due to numerous factors as will be noted later, but very important among these are cigarette smoking and the inhalation of industrial and automo­bile waste products - smog. It is of considerable in­terest that in areas of Iceland where the people con­sume large quantities of smoked fish there is an extra­ordinarily high incidence of stomach cancer. Although England and Wales have nearly twice the incidence of lung cancer mortality as does the United States, we are very rapidly catching up.

Cancer, second in its killing and crippling power -heart disease being first- is now given more at­tention than any other medical problem. This disease,

at the present state of our knowledge, is considered to be the most complex of all diseases, probably because it involves growth, division and multiplication of cells, a process which involves life itself. As concerted as the efforts of scientists have been to solve the problem of cancer, no complete set of answers is available, and no cure is known for any one kind of cancer. How­ever, new and improved methods for treating the mal­ady are appearing and better and more understandable theories for the causes of the disease are developing. It is now abundantly evident that numerous kinds of trauma, horseback riding and pipe-smoking, and var­ious tissue damaging agents, cigarette smoke, smog, numerous chemicals used in industry and agriculture, x-rays, ionizing radiations, and virus, are predisposing and causative agents for cancer. However, we have no substantial knowledge yet as to the exact chemical and physical mechanisms by which these agents act in their destructive process of producing abnormal accel­m·ation of cell growth and multiplication. The most likely reason, indicated by our present knowledge, is damage to the life giving parts of tissue cells, the chromosomes (genes) of the cell nucleus, or to the synthesizing mechanisms (ribosomes) of the cell cyto­plasm. The vital chemical components of genes and ribosomes which may be damaged are nucleic acids, deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) and ribose nucleic acid (RNA), respectively. Interestingly enough, viruses likewise are composed principally of DNA and RNA, accompanied by protein.

The major problems confronting scientists and physicians for the solution of the cancer question are: ( 1) how do these caustive agents act and how can they be prevented from acting (cancer prevention); ( 2) once they have acted, how can we detect their early effects (early cancer detection); and ( 3) how can we stop and reverse the process (cancer treatment). These are the objectives for which thousands of man­days of effort and millions of dollars are being spent each year. However, let us not think that this is an all­out effort. This yearly expenditure is only a fraction of that employed for building one flat-top or for prepar­ing one atomic bomb.

In this effort to find the answers to cancer, the University of California (Berkeley and Los Angeles) is playing a leading role- more than any other uni­versity or research organization in the world. The University of California, School of Medicine, Los An­geles, including several members of its Department of Physiological Chemistry (biochemistry) are sharing in this research endeavor. The studies in my laboratory include those on ( 1) the chemical composition of can­cer cells, ( 2) the altered metabolism of cancer cells, (3) the in vitTO (test tube) growth of Ehrlich carcinoma cells, ( 4) the effects of x-irradiation on normal and cancer cells and ( 5) the mechanisms of induced can-

SPRING ALUMNUS , 1962

cer immunity. It is believed that complete .answers to these problems will eventually lead to the prevention and cure of cancer. A number of my students have contributed to these studies, including nine graduate students five of whom have received their Ph.D. de­grees, one his M.S. degree, three presently working toward their doctorates, and six medical students, two high school students and a high school science teacher working summers.

The following are some of the results of these in­vestigations carried out primarily on Ehrlich carcino­ma cells:

( 1.) A detailed pattern of inorganic components of this cancer cell was determined. Only small differ­ences were observed from normal tissue cells, except for a much larger amount of phosphorus, an all im­portant element in cell metabolism. The determina­tion of these components has made it possible to carry on short term metabolic experiments, as well as long term in vitTO culture (growth) experiments.

( 2.) Numerous types of metabolic experiments have been carried out. This means that small organic molecules were measured at intervals of time to deter­mine the rate of their utilization and thus the require­ments of the cell. From such studies it was found that the cancer cell has an unusual type of metabolism. When the sugar, glucose, is added to the cancer cell its metabolism, unlike that of a normal cell, is shifted to a greater use of sugar and lesser use of oxygen. Such an alteration makes it possible for a cancer cell to thrive under unusual conditions.

( 3.) From knowledge gained in the above de­scribed experiments it was possible for the first time to obtain in vitro growth of the Ehrlich carcinoma in a relatively unaltered and viable form. This means that further definitive metabolic studies can be made. In addition, if virus are a necessary ingredient of the cancer cell, this procedure will allow the possibility of producing large amounts of virus, enough for definitive biological and chemical studies showing the precise relationship between the virus and the cancer cell. •

( 4.) Recently, working collaboratively with our Department of Pathology, virus have been observed to be present in this carcinoma cell. The well-known electronmicroscope was employed in these observa­tions. Thus we now have tools for further elaborative studies.

( 5.) An additional and very interesting series of findings is that three different strains of mice have been made immune to three different kinds of cancer, a carcinoma and two different leukemia-like cells. This has been achieved by repeated injection of the x-irra­diated cancer cells. Precise reasons for this effect are not known but experiments are under way at the pre­sent time in an attempt to get the answers. These x-

MICHIGAN'S NEW CONSTITUTION Not Perfect, Yet a Major Improvement over 1908

By G L E N N S . ALL E N '3 6 and G A R R Y E . B R 0 W N ' 5 l

W ITH THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION now three-quarters through its actions on first

reading, it is possible to forecast the general outlines of the new document. Still to come is a second and third reading at which time substantial shifts in posi­tion could occur but this is not anticipated. Before discussing the Convention in detail, let us draw a con­clusion about the new document as a whole. Certainly it will not realize the high hopes and aspirations of the political scientists and idealists who carried the torch for constitutional revision. Likewise it will not be the total failure which its opponents predicted. Like most constitutions, it is the product of compromise between the rural-urban factions of the Republican Party and the labor oriented majority of the Demo­cratic minority. This compromise does not result in a document of distinction, yet it is producing a more flexible framework of government in tune with the problems of today's society.

LEGIS'LATIVE APPORTIONMENT

Without a doubt the most hotly contested and most partisan issue to face the Convention has been, and is, the question of Legislative Apportionment. The reader will recall that the pre-Convention publicity pictured this question as the primary controversial issue, with the Democrats from the highly populous southeastern corner of the State advocating a "one man one vote" principle necessitating a strict population basis of selection of members of both Houses of the Legislature, whereas the Republicans whose strength lie primarily in the outstate area, demanded some factor other than population to be effectively represented in one House of the Legislature, that other factor being "area." "Area" as a factor for representation in the Legislature has been further explained as the giving of effective voice in the Legislature to the needs, problems and thinking of people in the less populous areas.

The issue has been joined at this Convention in accordance with the foregoing analysis. However, among Republicans there has been some disagreement as to the definition of "population" as it relates to the House of Representatives. A significant group of Re­publicans have felt that the House of Representatives should be based upon a strict population formula, whereas others believe the present principle of moiety should, possibly to a lesser degree, be continued. Like­wise, there has been some disagreement as to the ex-

Glenn S. Allen and Garry E. Brown, both Kalamazoo attorneys, are among the 144 elected delegates to Michigan's Constitutional Convention. Mr. Allen after graduation from Kalamazoo College, received his LL.B. from Columbia University Law School in 1939; Mr. Brown, from George Washington University in 1954. The former is serving his eighth term on the Kalamazoo City Commission. He served four conse­cutive terms as mayor of Kalamazoo and has been president of the Michigan Municipal League. Garry Brown is currently U.S. Commissioner for the Southern Division of the Western Michigan District Federal Court and president of the Southwestern Michigan Ad­fusters Association.

tent to which ''area" should be reBected in the selection of members of the Senate.

Out of the general agreement which prevailed among Republicans on the fundamentals of the ap­portionment of the Legislature evolved the Committee Report which provides for a Senate consisting of not less than 36 nor more than 40 Senators to be selected from Senatorial Districts based 80 7o upon population and 20 7o on area. This Senate formula substantially retains the present Senatorial Districts outstate, but gives approximately 4 additional Senators to the Wayne County Metropolitan area. In fact, until1970 the Sen­atorial Dish·icts will remain the same, with the addi­tion of a Senator to each w ·ayne, Oakland, Macomb and Genesse counties. The Committee Report provides for a House of Representatives of 110 members selected from Legislative areas containing at least 7/ 10 of 1 /'o of the State's population. This 7/ 10 formula applies only to the setting up of 40 Legislative areas and the remaining 70 seats are distributed on the basis of equal proportions, the method presently used by the Federal Government to distribute Congressional seats among the States. The use of the method of equal proportions makes representation in the House more nearly on a straight population basis, and no moiety principle is involved except to the extent that only 7/ 10 of 1 % of the population is required to set up a Legislative area and determine the first seat to be given to such Legis­lative areas.

A minority report was Bled by the Democratic members of the Committee, which in essence provides for a straight population basis of selection of House members and a proportional representation formula for the Senate, which in effect amounts to a straight population voice in the Senate.

Reapportionment of the Senate and House of Representatives would take place every 10 years after each decennial census, and would be accomplished by a by-partisan Apportionment Commission, rather than by the Legislature.

OTHER MAJOR CHANGES

Other major changes which appear assured in the new Constitution and each representing a step towards better government are:

1. Fewer Elect-ions- Each April on the odd­numbered years, Michigan has elected its Township Supervisors, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Highway Commissioner and Regents of 3 major uni­versities as well as the Board of Education. This elec­tion has always been lightly attended mainly because the people for the most part either did not know the candidates or were still weary from the preceding fall campaign. This election is now abolished and consoli­dated with the November election. The terms of Gov­ernor and the Senate have been increased to 4 years

SPRING ALUMNUS, 1962

thus reducing the frequency of elections and the num­ber of elective officials reduced by making the Superin­tendent of Public Instruction an appointee of the Governor and the Auditor General an appointee of the Legislature.

2. A Stronger Governor- Michigan's first Con­stitution in 1835 established a strong executive, but both in 1850 and 1908 the Governor's power was diffused among a number of elective officials. The majority report recommends that the Governor appoint the Secretary of State, Attorney General, Highway Commissioner and Treasurer. A bitter Boor fight is expected between a coalition of Democrats and rural Republicans who wish to preserve the status quo and the moderate Republicans with George Romney who favor an appointive system. As this article goes to press, a compromise has been reached between the two Republican factions under which the Secretary of State and Attorney General will continue to be elected but the Treasurer will be appointed by the Governor and the Highway Commissioner appointed by a by-partisan Highway Commission appointed by the Governor. The writers of this article were opposed to the package compromise but admit that had the issue reached the Boor without the so-called compromise, all of the above officials would have remained elected. In this respect, the compromise was a decided improvement.

3. Home Rule for Counties - No longer will all of Michigan's 83 counties be required to have the same structure of government. On a local option basis the electors of each county may elect their own charter commission and subject to limitations to be set by the Legislature may set up their own type of Board of Supervisors and decide whether to appoint or elect a Prosecuting Attorney, Sheriff, Clerk, Treasurer and Register of Deeds. Proponants of "true" county home rule were disappointed when a compromise was made giving the Legislature power to determine whether the c.ounty officers would be elected or appointed and limitations upon selection of the new Board of Super­visors. Nevertheless the Convention action is a major breakthrough for better local government. •

4. Judicial Reform - Although there were great expectations about substantial change in the Judicial Article, it appears that the new Constitution as to this subject might well be the 1908 Constitution with only limited, but somewhat significant changes. The Su­preme Court would consist of 9 Justices selected as they are now, by nominations at Party Conventions and statewide elections on a non-partisan basis. However, an incumbent could certify himself for election with­out getting the nomination of his Party, and others could file nominating petitions and thereby become candidates at such election. These latter two ideas are new. A more significant change with respect to the

~~DOWN RANGE" COMMANDER Written by

Navy Public Information Office

A 1939 KALAMAZOO GRADUATE is now a key figure in the operation of a 456 million dollar missile range.

This range, the world's largest, is the Pacific Missile Range. It covers almost the entire width and breadth of the Pacific Ocean - from the ocean floor to an in­finite distance in deep space.

It is in this Range where the "big birds" of missil­ery fly - the Titan and Atlas. These missiles, triggered from west coast bases, streak thousands of miles to "down range" targets; also, in this Range, satellites are launched into polar orbits.

This Navy-managed Pacific Missile Range, newest of the three national ranges (Mid-continent Range at White Sands, N. Mex., and the Atlantic Missile Range, Cape Canaveral, Fla., are the other two) is in its fourth year of business. Today the Range has become an ocean-spanning instrumented network capable of supplying information on the launching, guidance, impact, and recovery of missiles and satellites.

PMR, with its headquarters at Point Mugu, Calif., has the mission of supporting missile and satellite pro­grams for the Army, Navy, Air Force, National Aero­nautics and Space Administration (NASA) and other agencies.

The major elements of this Range complex are divided into three catagories. At the hard core of the Range - the headquarters - all the major functions of range safety, operations and support are concentrated. Next are the launching facilities at Point Mugu and Point Arguello, Calif., where missiles and satellites are launched.

And last, "down range"- from buildings and trailers perched on hot coral islands and from moun­tain tops, radars track the missiles and satellites as they pass overhead. Telemetry antennas follow their flights to receive valuable data from collecting devices within the flight vehicles. Hydrophones, sensitive enough to tell a whale from a porpoise, listen for missile impacts in the ocean. The directional data thus gathered is used to direct the recovery ships to the water impact scene to recover the capsules or missiles.

Stanley H. Lane

Controlling and coordinating this down range net­work of instrumentation sites and recovery ships falls on the shoulders of Navy Captain Stanley H. Lane. A 22-year career officer and aviator, Captain Lane has seen aviation grow from pre-vVorld War II conven­tional aircraft to the jets of today. As a result of his aviation experience, the Navy Department assigned Captain Lane to the Pacific Missile Range headquar­ters. This assignment was made during the develop­mental stage of the Range, in early 1959.

During this tour Captain Lane was cited for his contributions in range operations, range planning and missile range safety. Additionally, his efforts were in­strumental in the conversion and outfitting of the first Range recovery ships. Two World War II Victory class cargo ships, USNS Longview and US S Sunny­vale, were transformed into mobile instrumentation stations. These ships are equipped with sophisticated electronic devices that track and receive telemetry data from earth orbiting satellites, record impacts of ballis­tic missiles, and provide Range instrumentation for the deep ocean areas of the Pacific. Landing platforms and hangers were also added to enable specialized helicopter/ diver teams to operate at sea in connection with space package recovery tasks.

In July, 1959, when the ships were ready for ~ea and their "space age" mission, Captain Lane conducted their sea trials. After the "shake-down" cruises, he brought the ships to Hawaii - their new homeports. A month later, as the officer in tactical command of the recovery ships with their specialized recovery crews on board, the new vessels commenced the first of a long series of recovery missions. Shortly after the Hawaii basing of these ships, the USNS Longview made world history by recoverying the first orbited satellite to return to earth - Discoverer XIII.

For the past year, Captain Lane has commanded the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Hawaiian Area. This Facility, which serves as the "down range" head­quarters for PMR, stretches over millions of square miles of the Pacific Ocean. From tiny islands and atolls

Captain Stanley H. Lane '39 of Vicks­burg, Mich., has had a varied 22-year naval ca.reer that has tc~ken him to duty stations over half the world. Dur­ing World War II, he distinguished himself as a patrol bomber commanc/:.c er in the Pa~ific and is the holder' of the Distinguished Flying Cross and three Air Medals. In 1955, Captain Lane was called upon to pertorm a special mission with Nationalist China on Formosa, and later b_ecame the Naval Attache in Seou,l, Korea. ff~§ last assignments before reporting to the Pacific Missile Range in 1959 were as navigator of the attack aircraft carrier USS Hornet, as Commanding Officer of Fleet Aircraft Service Squadmn 121, and as Commander, Fleet Air Detachment,.

Pacific Missile Range Complex

where U. S. Marines battled for a foothold in the Pacific are now located ground electronic and instru­mentation sites that sweep the vastness of space and the ocean depths.

The Hawaiian down range sites associated with this command include the Fleet Mobile Tracking complex at Barking Sands and the Kokee Tracking Station, both on the Island of Kauai. Barking Sands monitors fleet launched Regulus I guided missiles. The seven million dollar Kokee Tracking Station sup­ports NASA's "Man In Space" project and is one of the key stations in the Mercury global network.

The PMR Facility, Hawaiian Area, is based aboard the U. S. Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneoch Bay, Oahu. This headquarters houses a missile impact location station and a communications-control center.

South Point, on the Island of Hawaii, is PMR's deep space Tracking Station. Here, with a 60-foot diameter electronic receiving antenna, South Point commands and tracks space vehicles traveling millions of miles into space.

The mid-Pacific sites under Captain Lane's com­mand include the satellite tracking and receiving sta­tions at Christmas Island (1100 miles south of Hawaii), Tern Island ( 350 miles northwest of the down range headquarters), and Canton Island ( 1600 miles south­west of Hawaii). Canton is another station that pri­marily supports the Mercury program.

The most distant instrumentation site in this com­mand lies on Japan Island of Eniwetok Atoll. This site, a missile impact location station, is linked with the

SPRING ALUMNUS, 1962

Midway and Wake Island impact recordings sites. At Captain Lane's headquarters, a communi'ca­

tions center, operated around-the-clock, interconnects PMR down range stations with the PMR headquarters,

• launching complexes, all military activities and many associated government activities. By linking PMR cir­cuits with other space agencies, PMR Facility opera­tions personnel can communicate with stations which encompass half the world, Japan to Washington, D.C.

Within this extensive command, Captain Lane has the task of providing scientific information and be­havior patterns of missiles and space vehicles for ul­timate reporting to the Range users.

Presently this down range command is actively engaged in supporting many space programs, such as the Air Force Discoverer project, which has been aG­tive m1 the Range since February, 1959; the Navy's navigational satellite Transit, and NASA's Explorer series -VII, XI, and XII.

Another program supported by PMR, which had its first manned orbital flight on February 20, is the Mercury project. PMR sites at Canton Island, Kokee Tracking Station and Point Arguello all tracked and recorded Astronaut John H. Glenn's flight. The Kokee and Point Arguello instrumentation stations are key sites in the world-wide Mercury network. These two stations have the command capability, in the event of an emergency, to fire the "braking rockets" that could bring the Astronaut back to earth.

As man penetrates further into space, PMR's down range stations will play an increasing role.

MOTIVATION IN LITE RAT U R E:

The Way of All Flesh

By D R . W A L T E R W . W A R I N G

N OTABLE AT THE TIME OF ITS PUBLICATION in 1903 for its sharp attacks on Victorian life, Samuel

Butler's The Way of All Flesh has long since lost its power to shock. Today, its attacks upon religion, edu­cation, and family are of interest chiefly to the literary historian, but its method of motivation, once a novelty, has become a truism in the twentieth century.

Ernest Pontifex, a young man reared under strict Victorian discipline, educated with care, and en­couraged into the clergy, reaches maturity without achieving wisdom, faith, or humanity. Brought be­fore a court on the charge of attacking a young woman, he becomes the object of the magistrate's wonder and irony:

"Ernest Pontifex, yours is one of the most painful cases that I have ever had to deal with. You have been singularly favoured in your percentage and education. You have had before you the example of blameless parents, who doubtless instilled into you from childhood the enormity of the offence which by your own confession you have commit­ted. You were sent to one of the best public schools in England ... At Cambridge you were shielded from impurity by every obstacle which virtuous and vigilant authorities could devise ... For the last four or five months you have been a clergyman . . . nevertheless, not only does it ap­pear that your mind is as impure as though none of the influences to which I have referred had been brought to bear upon it, but it seems as though their only result had been this . . . "

The words of the magistrate express the conster­nation of a generation of Victorian parents who by their own standards had provided the best treatment possible for their sons and daughters. As did Ernest, the children responded to their education with indif­ference, to their faith with disdain, and to their par­ents with hate. The Victorians regarded the actions of the younger generation in anger or with a wagging of heads and a clicking of tongues. The mid-nine­teenth century dream of a better world founded upon the enlightened doctrines of John Locke's theory of knowledge and Jeremy Bentham's utilitarianism faded in paradox: love begot hate; faith begot doubt; and education begot stupidity.

SPRING ALUMNUS, 1962

What is paradox to one generation, however, sometimes becomes principle to the next. Butler's re­form took the following expression:

"A man should not only have his own way as far as possible, but he should only consort with things that are getting their own way in so far that they are at any rate comfortable."

To his contemporaries Butler's teaching was des­picable, but in the day of Dr. Spock and "life-adjust­ment" education his statement sounds like something from the pen of an Ann Landers. Butler had hit upon psychological motivation. The "good old teachings," "spare the rod and spoil the child," "as the twig is bent, so the tree inclines," unaccountably had failed. Chil­dren became individuals complete with drives, emo­tions, wills, identities - everything, indeed, except ex­perience and physical maturity.

Seen at last as an individual, the child is no longer motivated only by the forces that operate within so­ciety. His surest motivation comes from within, and what is within is value more surely than what is with­out. Butler places the internally motivated child in an externally motivated society. Ernest's system of values is not, of course, clear to himself at first. His response to music and his aptitude for carpentry are characteristics possessed by his great grandfather. Nothing in his environment values his individual qual­ities; therefore he is obsessed at first with his own worthlessness and later with the worthlessness of so­ciety.

On the other hand, his father and mother, his edu­cation and religion, force upon him conformance to a highly sh·uctured society, but fail to provide him with any way to relate his inner values to it. As a result, he becomes a lonely, frustrated individual. His ac­tions are instinctive efforts at self preservation. When he becomes a clergyman, he does so in good faith, hoping to find a way in which he can relate himself to man and God. 'iVhen he is sent to prison for his crime against society, he is freed by the very thing that was destroying him. His rejection by society releases him from the values that prevented him from developing his own. While in prison, he begins his self-develop­ment, which gives him the strength to reject society when he is released.

SPORTS T7 ALAMAzoo's BASKETBALL TEAM coMPILED the best !_~record in modem Hornet history this winter in gaining a share of the 1962 MIAA championship with Hope College. Coach Ray Steffen's team posted an 18-4 overall record and a 10-2 mark in the conference.

The Hornets won all six games in the first half of the league season, but then were upset by Olivet, 60-57, and beaten by Hope, 78-67. Hope had lost to Calvin and to Kalamazoo (61-60) in the first round, and after the Dutchmen won all of their remaining league games to clinch a share of the title, the pressure was on Kalamazoo as the Hornets finished their league season a few days later. In the season finale, Kalamazoo trounced Alma, 81-60, and a share of the league cage honors came to Kazoo for the first time in a dozen years.

Other than the two league defeats, losses were suffered at the hands of Elmhurst and Anderson in non­league contests. Highlights of the season were a pair of close victories over Calvin's defending champions, 54-52, and 62-60. The Hornets also walloped Albion twice, 77-61, and 69-42, in games which were especial­ly important in the all-sports trophy race.

Senior Gordon Rodwan was the squad's most val­uable player, for obvious reasons. He led in scoring with 435 points, and in rebounding with 279 rebounds. Rodwan wound up his four-year career with 1,045 points, third in the all-time records behind the 1,252 scored by Gary Morrison ( 1954-57) and the 1,148 total posted by Manny Glasser ( 1950-54). Jon Lindenberg, another senior, was elected Captain for the season; he also was a fine rebounder with 187 rebounds and was regarded as one of the best defensive players in the league. Dave Southworth was the only other senior on the team.

Rodwan and Lindenberg were both honored as first team selections on the All-MIAA team, while Bob Morgan, junior guard, was given honorable mention.

Chuck W'ood, a junior and the son of former Hor­net star Dan Wood, was voted as most improved play­er. Other lettermen were Morgan, Jack Hulst, John Mason, Dale Southworth, Jim Harkema, and Jim Honell, all underclassmen.

The 18-4 record for the season marked only the third time in Kalamazoo history that a Hornet cage team had won as many as 18 games. The all-time record is held by the 1921-22 team which posted a 22-3 record. In 1920-21, Kalamazoo had an 18-9 record. No other team since that era had compiled such an out­standing record.

Time out - and basketball coach, Ray Steffen, talks over strategy with his Ilornet team.

While the basketball team landed most of the headlines, another group of Hornet athletes were gen­erating enthusiasm for a wrestling program. Under the coaching of George Acker, Kalamazoo fielded •its first wrestling team in history, and the squad came through with victories over Adrian and Wayne State in a 2-4 season. Captain Jim Jahnke, a junior from Jackson, was the outstanding competitor, losing only once in six matches.

In the 1961-62 all-sports trophy race, Kalamazoo moved into first place at the end of the fall and winter sports season. The Hornets now have 28 points to 27 for Albion, and prospects of winning the trophy next spring look rather bright. Kalamazoo has title con­tenders in both tennis and golf, a better than average team in track, and an enthusiastic baseball team. Both the baseball and tennis teams will take southern trips, while the golfers will practice down south but will not compete in any dual meets.

CANCER (Continued from Page 7)

irradiated cancer cells are not killed but crippled and altered in some unknown fashion. From the fact that these cells contain virus one may speculate that a similar situation exists here as with the preparation of polio vaccine, namely, that polio viJ:us are altered by chemical treatment and that repeated injection of this altered virus (antigen) causes a reaction within the body and production of a chemical (antibody) which controls growth of either the crippled virus or live virus.

The next logical steps for investigating these phe­nomena are: ( 1) the biochemical alterations produced by x-irradiation of the cancer cells; and ( 2) the bio­logical nature of the type of immunity produced in these mice. Many questions are yet to be answered. Are the effects of x-irradiation on the cancer cells, per se, or on the virus that feed on the cell and alter its nature and chemical properties? Do the x-rays alter the nucleoproteins of the cell or of the virus so that they are more antigenic (thus producing antibodies)? Do the x-rays cause the production of a new antigenic protein? Can immunity be produced in some other way? Are the antibodies that are produced of the usual type that circulate in the blood and may be passed from an animal which has survived cancer to another as a protective measure; or are the antibodies attached to tissue cells, thus making it impossible to transmit the immunity? Are the antibodies that are produced of the gamma-globulin type and produced by stimulation of cells that normally synthesize these proteins or are they of a different type and require some other type of stimulation? Our present studies here indicate that at least two groups of blood proteins are increased in the immune mice. Are all of these important to the process of immunization in mice? Is there a cross immunization- that is, can immuniza­tion against one type of cancer cell protect the animal from other types of cancer? Is cancer hereditary? At present there is no strong evidence to indicate that it is, yet certain traits of the disease in laboratory animals indicate this possibility. A condition similar to a here­ditary trait could be the result of DNA containing viruses attaching themselves to the D A of the genes and tagging along when the cells divide.

The ultimate question is, can humans be im­munized against cancer? From the research that has been done in many laboratories and hospitals across the country there is hope in this direction, too. In addition to the hopeful results coming from laboratory animal experimentation, there is evidence that people have a certain amount of natural immunity. This in­dication comes from two major types of experiments: ( 1) more than a hundred well documented cases of human cancer have been known to regress spontane­ously; and ( 2) cancer transplanted from a cancerous

SPRI C ALUMNUS, 1962

individual to a normal one will not grow .. What are the differences between these two people? The answer to this riddle no doubt will be valuable in the solution of the cancer problem. It is obvious that scientific in­vestigation raises more new questions than it answers old ones. Yet this is a necessary part of the scientific approach and in the end will accumulate enough an­swers to solve problems. In the raising of new ques­tions, we are led to new scientific horizons.

What are we as lay people and scientists to do about this dreaded disease, cancer? It is obvious that everyone musfplay his role. Cancer control is a mat­ter not only of treatment but of prevention. The sci­entist must determine the nature of cancer, including methods of treatment and prevention, and these pro­cedures must then be utilized by everyone. To ac­complish this, the scientists' efforts must be doubled and redoubled. If half a battleship's-worth isn't enough, then it must be one or two or ten. Although most people are no longer searching for a "fountain of youth" they are very desirous of a happy, disease-free "three score and ten years". All people should be in­terested in joining the search for the cup of the Holy Grail.

CONSTITUTION (Continued from Page 9)

Supreme Court is a provision which permits the Su­preme Court to select retired judges to fill vacancies on the Supreme Court until the next general election, whereas the present Constitution provides for these vacancies to be filled by the Governor and then this appointee may run with an incumbency designation. It is felt that this latter change will tend to eliminate a present criticism to the effect that we have practically an appointive system by virtue of the fact that most of the members of the Court have been consistently re­elected with the benefit of the incumbency label, after having been appointed by the Governor.

An Intermediate Appellate Court has been ap­proved by the Convention, which Appellate Court would consist of 9 judges, their selection to be dete~­mined by the Legislature. The necessity for an Appel­late Court has been increased by inclusion in the Bill of Rights section of the Constitution of a provision for appeal as a matter of right in criminal cases.

No significant change is made in the jurisdiction or selection of judges of the Circuit and Probate Courts. Justices of the Peace no longer would have Constitu­tional status; however, a provision in the Judicial Article would permit the Legislature to establish such inferior courts as it deemed advisable, which could in­clude magistrates or courts comparable to the present J.P. System. In the absence of Legislative action, Cir­cuit Court Commissioners and J.P.'s would be abolished at the end of 5 years following the adoption of the Constitution. (Continued on Next Page)

5. The Income Tax and the Budget- Contrary to some public opinion the Convention was not called to make legal a state income tax. Such a tax, if flat rate, has always been legal under the 1908 Constitution but considerable doubt exists as to the legality of a gradu­ated tax. This doubt was resolved on first reading when the Convention voted to prohibit a graduated tax. In addition, the new Constitution requires revenue in each year to match appropriations. This will prevent the sorry practice of recent Legislatures which have voted annual expenditures without matching revenues.

THE COMPROMISE

Upon first reading, all ear-marked funds were re­tained but the 15 mill limitation was removed. In re­cent weeks the action on first reading was not accept­able to either the rural or urban factions of the Con­vention. In an effort to reach harmony on this issue, George Romney and former State Treasurer, D. Hale Brake, took the leadership to bring about a compromise which while retaining ear-marking nevertheless per­mitted considerable more flexibility, but at the same time reinstated the 15 mill limitation. As we send this to press, it now appears that the 15 mill limitation will become an 18 mill limitation on a local option basis. Thus it can be said that the "package deal" has been liberalized with many delegates voting their own con-

victions rather than being bound by premature caucus action.

THE PEOPLE ULTIMATELY DECIDE

When the Convention adjourns, the new document goes to a vote of the people. It is uncertain whether this will be in November, 1962, or April, 1963. If the Democratic Party should feel disappointment that its goal of "one man one vote" is not realized and decides to oppose a favorable vote, the new Constitution might be rejected. Or, if the rural Republican areas should feel that too strong an executive is established or re­apportionment too adversely affects rural dominance, the Constitution may also fail. Certainly the Constitu­tion will be in trouble if those idealist groups who car­ried the campaign for a Convention conclude that the document is too compromised.

IN CONCLUSION

The beloved Dr. Robert Cornell of Kalamazoo College used to say, "There are too many legislators in too many Houses with too many elections." The Con­vention will not fulfill all of Dr. Cornell's aspirations but it promises to satisfy some. In our opinion it rises high above similar Conventions in Missouri and New York and is on a par with New Jersey. Unless we make a bad mistake on second or third reading, we believe it deserves support.

CLASS OF 1906 HAnLEY \V. ANDEHSON passed away in a Kalamazoo nursing home on February 7, following a seven-year illness. He had served as business manager and sec­retary of the Kalamazoo Public Schools for 37 years until his retirement in 1951. He then served as exe­cutive secretary of the Association of School Business Officials of the United States and Canada. Mr. An­derson was a past president of the Michigan Associa­tion of School Business Officials, the Kalamazoo Country Club, and the Kalamazoo Kiwanis Club. He is survived by his wife, and one son, Donald '33.

CLASS OF 1908 The University of \Visconsin has named one of the new professorships being established for research the VEnNon C. FINCH Hesearch Professorship and has con­verted his former office into the Finch Seminar Hoom. Dr. Finch, who died in 1959, was chairman of the De­partment of Geography at the University of Wiscon­sin from its inception in 1928 until 1945- and a senior advisor during the following years. Failing health forced him to retire from active teaching and in 1954 he was named Emeritus Professor. During the period
