Production of Rossman is a professor of crop and soil science, specializing in the production of new food and forage crops has risen precipitously over the last three decades, providing the varieties of hybrid corn. For more than two decades, he has been genetically crossing the nation with a plentiful supply of food — not to mention $30 billion worth of agricultural plants, searching for hybrid offspring which provide better yields, or more resistance to exports annually, which go a long way toward easing America's balance oftrade insects or temperature. headache. He has had some success, he will tell you proudly: where it used to be common for "Agricultural research is not an expense, it's an investment," said Sylvan H.

But the payoff has not been as large in the '70s, Wittwer said. Production levels of "The stqje Legislature and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have allocated almost a million dollars for research in toxicology," he said.

Bunk, said Wittwer. He attributed the slowdown to a lack of research funding. And he But the direction of research has changed somewhat over the last few years, Wittwer maintained that we can not afford the consequences of complacency. said. Energy shortages and environmental problems with chemicals have shifted the "It's difficult for me to comprehend why the investment is not made," he said. "We focus of research efforts from non renewable to renewable resources. Much of today's have not kept pace at the federal level. We've done better at the state level. But there's efforts, for example, are focused on breeding insect resistance into plants rather than no question, we've taken a back seat. That's true of this campus, too. What do they talk about when they talk about research? They talk about the Cyclotron. Where the research working with pesticides that might have brought that resistance from the outside.

The first theory holds that pigeons remember the color of the disk by a special The entire thrust behind these pigeon experiments lies in investigating the cognitive pattern of behavior - one type of pecking followed by a red or green disk. The second, and they believe more feasible hypothesis, is that the birds do retain processes in animal behavior, and relating their findings to human cognitive processes.

Significant jumps have been made in recent years in the fight against cancer, and MSU researchers are making their fair share of contributions toward the effort. Dr. Jay Goodman, associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology, who is doing Cancer research at MSU has increased 1,000 percent since Jhe early '70s, said Dr. Leif similar experiments in the induction of liver cancer into rats through chemicals. Dr. James Trosko, professor of human development, is working to identify chemicals G. Suhrland. MSU professor of medicine. Suhrland is one of approximately 23 MSU professors and scientists involved in cancer research on campus and in area clinics. which are thought to selectively encourage the growth of cancer cells in human. Dr. Justin McCormick, co-director of MSU's carcinogenesis lab, said researchers are McCormick and Dr. Veronica Maher are co directors of the carcinogenesis lab which receiving approximately $1.5 million annually to fund their work. The grants come from a occupies an entire wing of the sixth floor in Fee Hall and involves the work of 30 people.

What saves on campus, McCormick said. most people is the DNA repair processes in their bodies which remove the damage of the McCormick distinguished between two types of researchers; clinicians and regular scientists. Clinicians are ordinary physicians who work with patients while cancer-causing agents before they can have any major effect.

More than once, research at MSU has yielded major discoveries in the field of cancer, The primary treatment for cancer is still surgery to remove tumors followed by treatments, McCormick said. But progress has been made through research McCormick said. It has been learned in the past 10 years that cancer in humans is, in part, caused by One of these discoveries was made by MSU biophysics professor Barnett Rosenberg environmental factors such as industrial pollution and food contamination, he said. after six years of clinical trials.

But, as Blackwell pointed out, Lou Reed is not a large-selling acts as John Denver, the Little River Band, Heart commercial artist, his concerts are not assured sellouts, and Pop and Bad Company.

Pop Entertainment's most to pop-rock music.

The deficit resulted from booking several acts which share the same office), and its function is to present the best in national black and R&B music. Since its inception, Ebony has brought acts like the Spinners, Earth, Wind & Fire, the Pointer Sisters, and Gil-Scott Heron to MSU. Ebony has generally rotated its acts between Jenison Fieldhouse, Munn Ice Arena and Fairchild Theater. Two other MSU music promotion organizations are Mariah Folk & Blues and Showcase Jazz. Mariah presents performers within the general framework of folk and blues, and its objectives are to consider the intimacy and proximity of the performer with the audience at reasonable prices as most important. Mariah concerts are held in the small Erickson and McDonel Kivas (although they once sponsored Randy Newman in Fairchild Theater), and the overall effect is akin to seeing a national artist or band in an intimate, coffeehouse-like environment.

Ken Beachler, director of the Lecture Concert Series, added that students have equal You see, we believe that rock music is access to all seats and do not have to settle for bad locations as at other universities. Beachler, who has headed the series since 1971, said he enjoys the range of events the currently the most vital force in American series offers from opera to ballet to drama to chamber music. popular culture. Unlike television and most of the films we see, which are big-budget, "I like the variety," he said. "I'm basically a pluralist. The demand on the University Auditorium is greater than ever before. There is more theater, more musical events." committee-produced corporate "product," rock music can be made by anyone with Beachler said that one of his main jobs is to tell students that the series exists and that access to a cheap electric guitar.

Beachler said that he had expected to tire of his job sooner. "But the nice thing about the job is that there's so much to do," he said. "No two days are alike." Among his responsibilities are: investigating what shows are available for touring and negotiating for them, ticket pricing, budgeting and serving as general manager of the Auditorium. When Beachler entered MSU as a student in 1959 he intended to be an actor in New York COMMENT City. In addition to performing in 15 plays while on campus, he was a student announcer for WKAK radio. Since assuming his present position in 1971 Beachler has continued to perform State News Kim VanderVeer occasionally in such shows as The Birthday Party and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie at the Jazz saxophonist Ronnie Laws, who performs the hard-hitting kind of jazz popularly referred to as Okemos Barn Theatre.

After all, U-M had beaten the Spartans nine times in a row, the Wolverines were undefeated and highly-ranked and MSU was a disappointing 1-3. But that day was the day the Spartans became a real football team. They did all the things that an outstanding football team does and beat the Wolverines 24-15. It was the first big win for MSU coach Darryl Rogers (upper left) since he had come to East Lansing, but even more importantly, it lifted the Spartans into a tie for the Big Ten crown with the Wolverines. Needless to say, the win was also the biggest for many of the Spartan players who had to put up with taunts from several of the Wolverine players over the years. Guard Rod Strata shows the typical exuberance afterwards. "This has been the greatest win I've ever participated in," offensive tackle Jim Hinesly, now graduated, said afterwards. "The state is no longer blue . . . you can paint the state green." Cornerback Jerome Stanton is another Spartan who won't be back to help MSU in their quest for the Roses, so this win was big for him, too. "It feels good. 1 done beat my hometown boys.

The language of Proposal D said no person under the age of 21 shall possess alcohol for personal The statute the Legislature passed forbids merely posses¬ sion of alcohol by persons under 21, Ferency argues. In addition, Proposal D was an amendment to the portion of the Michigan Constitution which set up the state Liquor Control Commission, Ferency said. Under the state Constitu¬ tion, the commission is charged with enforcing all rules and regulations in the state dealing with alcohol, he added. Therefore, Ferency con¬ cluded, the District Court has no jurisdiction to hear the case. "Further back than I like to admit, I was a Liquor Control Commissioner, and I know the commission, through its hear ing officers, has the responsibil ity of policing alcohol in this state," Ferency said. If the motion prevails, Fer ency said, prosecution under the present law would be impossible because there are not enough commission hearing officers to handle violations of the drinking law. The Legislature would have to rework the drinking statute if the motion prevails, he said. Ferency said he would then "lobby to beat hell" to see that civil rather than criminal penal ties were instituted. "A drinking law offense is not severe enough to warrant a MSU Term Bus Passes and Annual Bus Passes entitle the holder to unlimited use of criminal record," Ferency said. the Campus Bus System.
