Cancer vaccine, page 6 Board OKs 2 faculty extensions The Board of Trustees voted last week to extend for one year the appointments of Eileen Van Tassell and Bertram Murray, both assistant professors of natural science who were notified of nonreappointment last year and who took their case to the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC), where a decision js pending. (Trustees Patricia Carrigan Warren Huff, Blanche Martin, Don Stevens and Clair White voted in favor of the motion, with Frank Hartman, Frank Merriman and Ken Thompson opposed.) White suggested the extension because of what he said was his concern over "due process" for "'nonreappointed faculty members. The suggestion followed a report from Provost John ~ant1on regarding the proposed ~ge m tenure regulations (News - Bulletin, April 8), which is expected to be discussed by the Academic Council and Senate in May. The extension for Miss Van Tassell and Murray would bring their cases under the new tenure rules, if the rules ¥e app{oved. The proposed rules would allow ieasons to be given upon requ~st in cases of nonrenewaI. Miss Van Tassell and Murray charged the University last year with unfair labor practices, claiming that they were discriminated against erations. into in last week A target completion date of May 27 was announced by conunissiori director Ira Poney April 9 in a memo announcing six additional meetings of the full 25-member commission. Along with new meeting dates,~ Polley also presented a set of goals or objectives. According to this work plan, the, commission will receive the lUst draft of the IlCst half of the report on April 21, the second half on May 5, and a ImaI draft of the full report on May 25. ''Some additional time probably will Imal editing and be needed for stated, "but it p,olishing," Polley contemplated that all decisions of the commission can be completed" by the end of May." seven This report, the end product of one the year's work, will contain commission's recommendations to the President on topics: these enroDment mix; research; quality and instructional programs; lifelong learning and continuing education; summer school; minority and disadvantaged students; and planning, priorities, budgeting and managemenL these topics were derived reveals something of the complicated processes of a Jaybody charged with such a comprehensive undertaking. How • * * FOll.OWING THE commission's IlCst meeting on June I, 1970, lIVe subcommittees which seemed to reflect the lIVe major areas of concern were created. to for some of It has not been easy the reach commission members consensus on the 120 recommendations submitted by the five subcommittees. Three issues have occupied more time than any others: Size and mix; quality and instructional the admission of programs; and minority and disadvantaged students. During the dehooIations, some recommendations have been completely deleted, others amended, some tabled for transformed and several future discussion. For example, at a recent meeting, members adopted a recommendation in that MSU "take establishing a consortium consisting of .representatives of the three major universities in this state, the appropriate leadership regional four - year and community colleges, the appropriate public school systems and the affected communities. 'This consortium would design, organize and administer educational the educational programs disadvantaged with special attention to inner cities, migrant workers, and American Indians." for * * * A T THE SAME meeting, the commission deleted proposals that MSU create an experimental program to identify high school dropouts who should be encouraged to take a special educational program that will enable them to take and pass the General Educational Development tests. Arguments stressed the ability of community colleges to do a better job (Continued on page 5) Page 2, MSU News - Bulletin, April 22, 1971 Two ex1aculty members die . LIBRARY SERVICE. As part of its compu·terized circulation system, the Library produces a weeldy list of newly cataloged books in classification number order. A copy of the list or any portion of it is available for 5 cents a page. To get on the mailing list, persons can can the Library's reference desk, 353- 8700. Those on the mailing list will receive copies of the appropriate pages each week, and each month account numbers will be charged and individuals billed for the copying cost. A copy of the list is available at the reference desk. . . * * * STUDENTS SCAITER. Nearly 40 students from James Madison College are getting field experience this spring at points ranging from an adult literacy clinic in San Francisco to the American Civil Liberties Union in Chicago. The practicum is required for graduation by the College between students' junior and senior years. Allan A. Spitz, director of the program, said it is scheduled between junior and senior years so that students may "secure a large base of the core curriculum before field experience, and then return to school to reintegrate the practical and aClldemic before being thrust into the world." * * * AUTOMATED LAB. MSU social science researchers have found that a good way to insure objectivity in the. laboratory is to put a computer in charge. So they've devised an automated lab in the Computer Institute for Social Science Research. In operation since last July, the lab in the Psychology Research Building relies on a Digital EqUipment Corporation PDP-8/I "mini - computer" to run experiments involving'such areas as game theory, small group interaction and psychophysical conformity. Gary Mendelsohn, head of the laboratory, says MSU's facility is unique because it is offered as a research service to all social scientists in the University instead of being dominated by a single research unit. * * * NEW ORGANIZATION. A new national scholarly organization, The Society for the Study of Midwestern Literature, has been founded with headquarters at 240 Bessey Hall. The organization is designed to encourage and assist the study of Midwestern literature. Membership dues are $1. Chainnan of the organization committee is David D. Anderson, professor of American Thought.and Language. . * * * AIR POLLUTION COSTS. Air pollution damage to crops and plants is increasing across the nation, says Axel L. Andersen, plant pathologist. "The most recent surveys estimate that air pollution costs the nation more than $500 million each year in damage to crops, forests and ornamental plants," he points out. He cites two major ways in which air pollutants injure growing plants. Primary pollutants are directly toxic to plants. Secondary pollutants are formed by photochemical reactions between sunlight and chemical pollutants released into the atmosphere. The results of these reactions are new gaseous chemicals - called photochemical oxidants - that can be hightly toxic to man, plants and animals. Researchers trying to learn more about sickle cell Black members of the MSU community are urged to come to Olin Health Center and contribute a blood sample to help themselves and their fellow men. The request comes from a research team headed by Ajovi Scott - Emuakpor, ~s~istant professor of anatomy at MSU. He trying to help· people learn whether they an~ genetic carilers of sickle cell anemia. ,and how they might be affected by that trait. is The disease, a major health problem among blacks, occurs when a carrier - a person with a certain mutant gene - marries someone with the same mutant gene, and a child is born with two mutant genes. These children have severe anemia, jaundice, liver disease and heart defects. They suffer extreme pain; many die young. Sickle cell anemia affects black people almost exclusively, but apparently for geographical rather than racial reasons. The trait evolved in sections of Mrica in which it was an asset to be a carrier of the gene because carriers are highly resistant to faIciparum malaria, a very severe type of malaria. Because the mutant gene aided survival, it became fairly common. Unfortunately, many people do not know ~h~y are carrieFs until a child is born with the disease. If the carriers are identified and informed of the risk, they can make informed decisions about family planning and health care, Scott - Emuakpor notes. ALTHOUGH A NEW treatment for the disease has recently been announced by Robert M. Nalbandian of Grand Rapids, the disease will continue to occur at present rates unless carrier identification and genetic counseling influence family planning. Also Scott - Emuakpor notes, carriers should be aware that they may sometimes suffer some of the same symptoms but not to the same extent as sickle cell patients, especially if they are in an oxygen - poor situation such as might be encountered during an airplane trip or stressful physical activity. "Estimates indicate that 10 to 20 per cent of the American Black population are carriers," he notes, "but these are only guesses. We ought to have better data." At present Scott - Emuakpor' is looking only at the MSU Black population in a pilot study supported . by the MSU Center for Urban Affairs, but eventually he would like to screen the entire Lansing area. Persons wishing to have their blood analyzed are encouraged to stop at the Health Center Laboratory Tuesday through Friday between 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Working with Scott - Emuakpor are James V. Higgins, associate professor of human development and of zoology; Herman Slatis, professor of zoology, and Astrid Mack and Frankie Brown, Ph.D. candidates in zoology. Word has been received of the recent . deaths of two former MSU faculty members. Pierre Luboshutz, noted concert pianist, died April 17 at his home in Rockport, Maine, and Werner A. Bohnstedt, retired professor of humanities, died April 5 at his home in Fresno, Calif . Luboshutz and his wife Genia were artists in residence at MSU from 1962 until 1968.

Luboshutz was born in Odessa, Russia, and was graduated from the Moscow Conservatory in 1912. He came to the U.s. in 1926. He and Miss Nemenoff were married in 1931 and made their debut in a two - piano concert in 1937 in New York's Towil Ha1l. WERNER BOHNSTEDT, born in Germany in 1899, joined the MSU faculty in 1946. He became a professor in 1952 and retired in 1965. He received the doctor of political science degree in 1?26 at Germany's University of Kiel. He also taught at Mt.

Right? Yes and no. Yes, last year nearly 3,000 employer interviewers conducted 33,000 personal interviews (not including part - time and_ summer job interviews). But there is more: .. Seven staff members are available for counseling all students on career planning and employer information. .. A special newsletter and office work with "Vocations for Social Change;" providing information on jobs with non - tradllional employers. * Faculty are kept wonned with Follow - Up Reports which tell them where their graduates found employment, salary statistics, and supply and demand statistics. * Thousands of business, industry, government, education and military employers seek and receive information and aid through the Placement Bureau. * Information and advice on student employment is provided to professional groups, including assistance to school boards in selection of superintendents and help in the establishment of placement operations in predominantly black. schools throughout the U.S. -. AD this is in addition to the Placement Bureau's supplying employers with credentials (about 75,000 last year) of graduating students and alumni; listing career opportunities for all majors in a regularly published bulletin; placement of about 1,350 alumni last year, including 83 as scbool superintendents or principals; and help in placing about 5,000 students in part - time jobs and about 6,000 in summer jobs. * * * PLACEMENT BUREAU DIRECTOR Jack Shingleton speaks of relevance and society's needs: '~hat o~ men and women do occupationally is probably the most important: medium for their participation in the affairs of mankind in their later years .... "Education in the '70s must take a vigorous new approach to its methods and the expected results of the educational process. Educators must be practical and aware of society's needs." So the placement goal is not to merely help the student fmd a job - it's put in tenns of bleping the student make an investment. And there is concern in the bureau for awareness of employment trends to help the student plan his education with an eye toward those societal needs. As Shingleton says, "the bargaining position of the graduating student has; changed dramatically in the past year. He will have to job - hunt more realisticany and vigorously than he has in recent years." The facuIty role, Shingleton says, can be aided through the Follow - Up Reports .. Seeing where their graduates go, faculty can study and possibly alter curricula to relate to the kinds of jobs the graduates are taking. With this relevancy as the guiding philosophy, Shingleton and the Placement Bureau have several projects planned for initiation or expansion, including the addition of a wormn counselor to work full - time in the placement of women, and an expanded effort on career planning and placement of minority students. One and one - half full - time staff members currently work with minority students, offering counseling and seminars on career planning, aqd summer and career employment. More attention and money are needed, Shingleton says, "because we've got further to go." This program is fIve years old . "Vocations for Social Change" came about a year ago at the suggestion of the Placement Bureau's student advisory coDlJltittee (which has existed for 19 years). Letters and calls from universities an over the country have come to Shingleton asking about this program. At MSU 1,200 copies of a special bunetin on vocations for social change are "snapped up immediately," Shingleton says. The bulletins ten of jobs open in communes, ghettos, free schools, etc. He says it is a program with "great potentia!," and he sees it as a response ·'to a segment of the student body not traditionally seen in the placement function." "Placement is changing," he says," "and we are trying to respond." * * * include assistance OTHER PROJECTED PROGRAMS in planning and placement for marginal students, foreign students, doctoral graduates, and for students who drop out to work before returning to complete their degrees; expansion of the program where graduate scllools come to interview just as employers do; more information on graduates in the fonow - up reports; complete including professional draft counseling; and counseling on development of career· oriented summer employment. the military, Also to be expanded is the use of the computer in placing graduates. It has been used to some extent with minority students and in education. Shingleton says that MSU is probably the only U.S. institution that can do this. MSU has also been invited to study the possibility of establishing an intematiooal placement operation. All these projects, Shingleton notes, are related to social change. And another planned program would help to tie tham all together. That project is a course on career planning and curriculum orientation. Outside sources would be used, Shingleton says, "to give real perspective on the whole thing." But the course is not an end in itself, he says. It is "but a segment of the placement operation and its importance." It is now being reviewed in the provost's office, and may be offered as an interdisciplinary course. BEVERLY TWITCHELL Board debates tenure, GM proposals • • • * Approved an interim judicial system for graduate students, which will be set up according to the system called for in the document on graduate student rights an d responsibilities. That docul1lent was approved by the Academic Council and must now be approved by lthe Academic Senate. * Approved the amendment to Article 7 of the Ac:ademic Freedom Report, which covers amendment procedures of that document. * Approved 15 appointments, 22 leaves, nine transfen and changes in assignments, -15 resig-nations _ and terminations and six retirements. Included was the appointment of Thomas H. Kirschbaum of the University of California -at Los Angeles as chairman of the new department of obstetrics, gylilecology and reproductive biology. (Concluded from page 1) subcommittees of the tenure committee reviewed the procedures and determined that the process was in accordance with the natural science department's bylaws. Cantlon said after the trustees' meeting that there probably would have been time (without the extension) for the two cases to fall under any new rules, since their termination date was Aug. 31, 1971. Both Cailtlon and University attorney Leland W. Carr Jr. expressed concern at the meeting that White's motion could prejudice the MERC decision, and that, as Can said, changing rules midway through litigation could appear as "an admission against interest on the part of the University." Cantlon aiso said that Board action could "withdraw decision - makin~ powerJrO!D the Academic CoUncil and the Academic Senate." After the meeting Cantlon pondered the question of "how do you protect real excellence?" He said he was fundamentally opposed to a "civil service mentality." '·You earn the right to a professorship," he said, '·It -is not due you."

STUDENT ADVISERS. The trustees approved a plan for four student advisen to the -trustees (three undergraduates and one graduate student) to meet at least once a term with the Board or a committee of the Board "to discuss potential problems, current issues and future directions." Special meetings could be called at the Travel seminar July 3-27 Encounter in Latin America is the theme of an adult travel- study seminar the on developing nations which University is offering for the second this summer. This year's time Encounter, ' July 3-27, will go to Ecuador and Colombia, following the rou te of the original Encounter in 1970. It is open to educators, social workers, engineers, business and professional people, families and others interested in their neighbors to the south. - Information on Encounter in Latin America, which may be taken with _ or without credit, is available from the sponsoring office of International Extension, 8 Kellogg Center. Page 4, MSU News - Bulletin, April 22, 1971 Council rejects Board 'intrusion' Seven by-law amendments relating to in academic stu den t parUdpa tion governance will go the Academic Senate May 19. The amendments, approved by the Academic Council Tuesday, were based on recommendations approved by the Board of Trustees at its March 19 meeting. ~ But two recommendations from the Trustees were not approved, 'following strong comments fr~m three Council members regarding what a faculty affairs committee resolution called a "symbolic intrusion, if not a real one, into faculty governance." two defeated amendments The would have: *Added to section 2.5.8 of the by-laws (as proposed in the , Taylor Report on student participation) the sentence: "In case of dispute concerning the application of this proviso, the final judgment shall rest with the Board of Trustees." (Section 2.5.8 pertains to professional rights and duties of faculty.) to *Added (on section 9.2' the amendment procedures) of proposed by-laws the sentence: "Any amendment of the by-laws affecting the substance of academic governance shall be referred to the Board of Trustees for its approval." A third amendment, concerning "fmai authority" in interpretatiQIl of the by-laws, was approved,but only the Board's after deletion of recommended amendment, which stated that "nothing in these by-laws shall prevent the Board of Trustees from taking prompt action on urgent fmancial and personnel matters when such action is in the best interests of the University. Such emergency actions do not, however, relieve the Board of its commitment to utilize to the fullest extent possible the advisory judgments provided for in these by-laws." Sandra Warden, associate professor in Justin Morrill College and chairman of the faculty affairs committee, reported that her committee voted 8-1 urging the Council to reject the three amendments relating in academic governance. to Trustee prerogative its opposition: The committee listed three reasons (1) The for constitutional authority of the Trustees is recognized daily in practice and in section 1.2.5 of the current by-laws: (2) the proposed changes would, nullify some of the responsibility the Trustees have delegated to faculty, and (3) it would be an intrusion into faculty governance. Frederick Williams, professor of history, followed Mrs. Warden with biting comments on the "violations" the proposed amendments would serve: they, and "The provision violates the principle of faculty competence and authority, faculty right to deal with matters in they alone, are which competent to decide. This proposal takes the Board by positive declaration into such matters as course content, teaching methods and evaluations of students - matters which the Board has no competence to handle and which Serving MSU Planetarium: Teaching tool, a center for public service Now in its eighth year of I;>peration, Abrams Planetarium has been visited by approximately a half million people. Its sky theater has been used as an observing laboratory, lecture theater, motion picture theater, music arts theater, public school and University classroom, planetarium teaching training center, space simulation chamoer, and by some as a slumber chamber. to laboratory Most importantly, the facilities serve as a supplement 'University courses. It is available for use by any instructor who may find it useful in teaching. The dome itself to many lends disciplines. Any study involving the visible sky can be supplemented by the planetarium facilities. It could be used for a course in introductory biology, for exa.mple, the in the importance of solar energy biosphere, or show the dependence of life patterns upon changes the amounts of solar energy available at different latitudes and different seasons. Faculty members may be interested in using the planetarium. There is no to demonstrate in BRAMS I / '" I PLANETARIUM charge for the facilities used in regular university instruction. The public programs offered at Abrams have recently been aimed at combining traditional programs with new techniques. Attendance at the programs has increased greatly over the past few months, and the planetarium has added a showing at 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. The current program is "The New World," a unique science fiction story the written and produced by planetarium staff. Coming programs include the "Stellarphonic Moog" the music moog department, in concert with artistic dome light accompaniment. synthesizer featuring from Some facts about the planetarium: * A star projector, the heart of the planetarium, can project any portion of the sky onto the 50 - foot dome which is made of thin, perforated, aluminum sheeting. * The projector is more than 12 feet high, weighs approximately 1,000 pounds, uses more than 12 miles of WIrmg than 6,000 electrical connections. and has more * Educational programs are provided for public elementary through high school children with various programs written for particular age groups. * Public programs are at 8 and 10 p.m. Fridays; 2:30, 8 and 10 pm.

"This proposal violates the all-important principle of internal control of the University under the president... " Williams prefaced his remarks by saying he recognized that "the Board has fmal authority in all University affairs ... but that authority is specified in the Michigan Constitution, and it need not be, and in my opinion shouldn't be, specified regarding a particular provision of this kind." Gordon Guyer, professor of entomology and chairman of the Faculty Steering Committee, supported Williams' comments, adding that he was "horrilled and dismayed" at the April Board meeting by the "response and lack of respect for faculty interests on the part of the Board." He later referred specifically to comments by Trustee Clair White in White's discussion of "due process" for nontenured faculty members. *** mE SEVEN approved amendments for to the Taylor Report were: *Section 8.1 assigning responsibility implementing and fmancing the provisions of the Taylor Report to the administrative office of an academic unit, and to the provost and vice president for student affairs at the University level. *Section 4.4.3.08 - providing for female representation within the 10 at-large student seats on the Academic Council. *Section 4.43.08.1 - aSSlgnmg at least fwe female seats among those 10 at-large seats.

WITIlliOLDING EXEMPTION CERTIFICATEAny wages paid after May 1, 1971, to employes of the University who foresee no federal income tax liability, such as students and other part time employes, can be exempt from federal income tax withholding. Under the 1971 rates, a single person who makes less than $1,700 will owe no tax. This is based on the $1,050 low-income allowance and a personal exemption of $650. Married couples filing jointly with income of less than $2,350 will not owe any federal Income tax for 1971. To take advantage of this withholding break which resulted from the Tax Reform Act of 1969, the student or employe should have a Withhdding Exemption Certificate , Form W4E, on file at the PayrolJ Division Office of the Comptroller, 350 Hannah Administration Bldg., stating that he or she had not taxes due for last year (1970) and expects none for the current year (197L). Any person signing this Withholding Exemption Certificate can rescind it or abrogate it at the Payroll Division, if he OT she anticipates later on that yearly earnings will be such as to create a tax liability. .\n employe must sign a new Withholding Exemption Certificate each year if he or she wishes to have income taxes withheld for that particular year. Students paid under the Graduate Assistants PayroU must have the Exemption Certificate on file at the Payroll Division by May 7. Other students m~st have the Exemption Certificate already filed before the next payroll in order to have income tax deductions reflected on the next check. It is the responsibility of the employe to notify the Payroll Division of his or her status change and to me a new W4 card to reinstate withholdings of Federal Income Tax.

Dishwasing detergents still present a problem, however, since phosphate substitutes developed so far either are themselves pollutants or don't clean well. * A task force on recycling. Ways are being studied to economically sort and transport paper, glass and metals for recycling. * More thorough water testing. The physical plant now does tests at each campus well rather than a single test at the reservoir. Particular attention is-paid to wells near the beef cattle feedlot and the new hazardous chemical waste disposal area south of Jolly Road. (The from facility handles waste latter science facilities that cannot be put irIto the regular sanitary sewage disposal system.) * Close cooperation with the Tri - rounty Regional Planning Commission. MSU's the commission's technical advisory committee is ~obert Siefert, University - GENE RIETFORS architect. representatIve on Spraying practices designed to protect environment A constructive response to increasing concern over environmental pollution will guide MSU's 1971 spray program aimed at preventing Dutch elm disease from killing campus elms valued at more than $3 million. This year the elm spray program will be conducted under the supervision of a new University Spray Committee whose duty is to make sure that campus maintenance programs do not harm other valued parts of the environment. The committee is composed of scientists, ecologists and other experts from the botany, entomology, forestry, zoology, and fisheries and wildlife departments, plus the Division of Campus Park and Planning. The Dutch elm program is the result of 'concern that began irI the late 1950's before the disease even came to the campus. There has been constant updating of the - program to insure control of the disease with minimum harm to the environment. * * * "IN VIEW OF THE SERIOUS responsibility not to harm the ecology taken every as a whole, we have precaution to eliminate any potentially harmful side effects of the Dutch elm disease spray program," says Milton Baron, spray committee chairman and director of campus park and planning. Without this spray program, and other control practices, the campus could lose all of its 1,700 elm trees by 1980. According to Baron, all spraying will be done by helicopter shortly after dawn sometime between now and April 30. "This method provides accurate and specific treatment oi individual trees, with only one - third the amount of ~ u..~d in spray applications from the ground," he says. "The pilot will be given a campus map shOwing each elm tree irI color, and spraying will be done only when weather conditions are exactly right to permit the best possible vertical drop." * * * SPRAYING IS DONE just after dawn for two reasons. First, there is a minimum of people and cars on campus. . Second, the high humidity and lack of wind during early mornirIg hours reduces any chance that the spray might drift into non - target areas. Page 6, MSU NeWs - Bulletin, April 22, 1971 Science notes Scientists develop a cancer vaCCIne • By PIHLLlP E. MILLER Science EditOl', News Bureau· A team of researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Regional Poultry Research Laboratory on the MSU campus has developed the ftrst vaccine to work against a naturally-occurring cancer. The USDA team is led by Ben -Burmester, director of the laboratory, and includes research veterinarians H. Graham Purchase and Richard L. Witter, and microbiologist William Okazaki. Until now, scientists had developed vaccines that were effective against experimentally-induced cancers of animals, but none would combat animal cancers which developed under natural conditions. The successful vaccine is considered a landmark in the fight against tumors. Of course, many factors, including chemicals and radiation, have also been linked with the onset of tumors. And some scientists believe such cancers are also virus-related even though they are triggered by nonviral influences. The USDA vaccine prevents Marek's disease, a malignant disease in the lymph system of chickens. It is similar to Hodgkin's disease, a malignant disease of the human lymph system. The lymph system is that complex of tubes and glands (nodules in chickens) the major portion of blood - before it that route an!! ftlter the lymph fluid - enters the blood transport system. Both the poultry and human diseases involve damage to internal organs such as the liver and spleen. Another result of the diseases is a lethal overabundance of the colorless cells manufactured in the lymph system. Marek's disease is the major killer disease of chickens, costing U.S. farmers about $200 million a year. The new vaccine, already patented, manufactured and on the market at about 6 cents "per vaccination," will help stop the disease among breeder and layer chickens. "If the vaccine price goes down to about 2 cents, then it may also become economical for broilers and fryers," Burmester said. *** mE RESEARCH FINDING brings back a controversial question: Can an effective vaccine be found against certain types of human cancer? Various laboratories are already girded for the battle over federal funds for cancer research. 'We are hopeful that in the future a similar vaccine against human tumors may be available," Burmester said. "But we ftrst have to fmd a virus which causes human cancer. Then a vaccine may be developed." Bunnester explained that Marek's disease is caused by a virus whose physical and chemical characteristics place it in the group known as the herpes viruses. "All commercial chickens are infected with the virus, and all chicken houses are contaminated with it," he said. "The houses serve as reservoirs for infections of future flocks." *** HOW THE VACCINE works is "strictly a mystery," Burmester said. Once vaccinated, a chicken can still be infected by Marek's virus, but it is still protected against tumor growth and clinical signs that would otherwise occur. For several decades, researchers have been grappling with the problems of Marek's disease and other leukemic diseases among poultry. The cancer research team (from left): William Okazaki, Ben Burmester, H. Graham Purchase and RiChard L. Witter. - Photo by Dick Wesley "About six years ago, we saw that Marek's disease ·was the major culprit," Burmester said "We found it was caused by a herpes virus, and these viruses have DNA as their genetic components." In the summer of 1969, a Cornell University scientist reported that feather follicles produce the contagious forms of herpes virus. About the same time, Witter, of the East Lansing group, showed that saliva and droppings carried the disease, apparently from contaminated dander (a form of dandruff) in the chicken houses. All animals, including humans, are susceptible to many kinds of herpes virus infections, but Marek's disease virus has not been known to infect humans. Some of the Marek's viruses infect chickens but do not cause the disease. The virus which does not cause the disease can be considered a naturany-occuITing vaccine. Witter isolated such a virus from turkeys and showed that it was related to Marek's disease among chickens, yet did not cause any diseases in chickens or turkeys. Purchase and Okazaki cultured the virus, ran the necessary tests and showed that the vaccine protects an animal from the Marek's diseaSlXausing the virus. They also proved that it was safe, maintained its potency and caused no disease or other adverse side effects. Mary Sawyer is Lansing's Secretary of the Year This is a special week for secretaries and an extra special one for (Mrs. A. Robert) Mary Sawyer, administrative secretary to the dean of International Studies and Programs at MSU. She has been named Secretary of the Year during this National Secretaries Week: by the members of the Lansing Tuebor Chapter of the National Secretaries Association (International). One of two Certifted Professional Secretaries (CPS) on campus, Mrs. Sawyer was chosen on the basis of education, experience, professional qualif"lCations, and the recommendation of her boss. She was honored during a dinner last night. Her boss, Ralph Smuckler who was named Boss of the Year last December, was the keynote speaker. The CPS after her name represents years of determination. The mother of six children and now grandmother of 13, Mrs~ Sawyer went to school nights for fIVe years in order to pass the grueling two - day CPS qualifying examination. In the exam, Secretaries are expected to pass six sections on accounting, business law, business administration, personal adjustment and human relations, communications and decision making and secretarial procedures. Passing the exam is eqUivalent to 20 credits toward an associate degree at Lansing Community College. There are only 9 Certified Professional Secretaries in the Lansing chapter of the -National Secretaries in Association, approximately 270 Michigan, and about 5,200 nationwide. She explains, "Professional development is my big hang-up and the CPS designation provides a recognized standard of proficiency in the secretarial profession." ' She emphasizes should be encouraged secretarial work as a career. that more girls regard to Sawyer has had a long, distinguished career in business and at the University. For more than nine years she was executive secretary and assistant to the chairman in the chemistry department. IIi October, 1967, she transferred to International Studies and Programs. She is past president of the Business · Women's Club and is now recording in MSU's Administrative secretary Professional Association. representing other As Secretary of the Year, Mrs. Sawyer will compete with fIVe other local secretaries chapters throughout Michigan in Flint May 21. The winner in this division will move to the 6-state Great Lakes District competition in July. A native of the Lansing area, Mrs. - BARBARA MCINTOSH Students spend $132 million MSU students this year will spend approximately $132 million, according to Gordon E. Miracle, professor of _ advertising. This fJgUre is in addition to tuition, on-campus room and board and other fees. . Speaking Wednesday before the Downtown Business Division of the Greater Lansing Chamber of Commerce, Miracle said that he bases this estimate on several years of study of the student market. Accounting for 13 per cent of the population of the Lansing area, MSU students \Yill spend more than $10 million on food; $1 million in liquor and party stores; $5.5 million in eating and drinking establishments; $5 million on gasoline and other items from service stations; $11 million in department stores; and $4 million in apparel stores. Miracle pointed out that if Lansing area merchants do a better job of communicating with students through local advertising media, informing them of the advantages of buying in their stores, they will very likely be able to increase their sales to this vast student market.
