Weinmann, M'S4 President, Medical Alumni Association The Meaning of "My" As 1975 moves past the three-quarter mark and another New Year still remains a season in the future, we find ourselves taking some basic principles for granted. Such a principle concerns the physician-patient relationship which is at times subject to honest misunderstanding. Our consumer-oriented society is committed to freedom of choice for all patients in the determination of their physician. This right, however, implies an equal freedom for physicians. In practice, this situation resolves in patients consulting that physician who is most co~­ veniently available; and the physician accepting whoever walks into hiS office. Indeed, as soon as a mutual relationship is established, the patient often speaks of "using" the doctor and physicians speak of "my" patient. Unfortunately, some physicians think of patients possessively. They confuse the meaning of "my" of possession, such as my hat or my coat with the relational meaning of "my", as my brother or my school. We physicians should remind ourselves of this distinction. When several physicians are concerned with the welfare of a patient, neither has a possessive claim. It would also contribute to sounder physicianphysician relations if referring physicians will remain sensitive to the implications of calling another physician in consultation. Similarly, it would be equally appropriate for all of us, physicians and patients, to be reminded of the free choice in their behalf of the ancillary paramedical professionals in hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies and offices. In the ultimate analysis, we should perpetually communicate our traditional"humility and respect for all individuals, despite the pressures of time and circumstance which impinge on us.

SUMMER, 1975 1 �Intern Matching Mary Shapiro, Dr. Cummiskey While a few in the senior medical class were recipients of unhappy tidings, things seemed to be falling pretty well into place for them by the time results of the National Intern and Resident Matching Program were announced on March 5th. From Dr. Thomas G. Cummiskey, former assistant dean at the School of Medicine, the 114 participants in the Program that attempts to match their preferences with those of hospitals in the United States, learned that 33 or a third of their class will remain in Buffalo for postgraduate training. "Another 22 seniors," Dr. Cummiskey, who is now a radiology resident said, "will continue their training in other parts of New York State, with the majority going to New York City." Fifteen of the 131-member senior class did not participate in the matching plan. "They elected to make their own arrangements," he continued. The seniors learned that they would be widely scattered around the country, in fact around the world. "Those matched with hospitals outside New York," Dr. Cummiskey reported, "will go to 23 states, with Pennsylvania receiving the largest number, eight. There is even one of you going to Honolulu, Hawaii, with the U.S. Army." Half of those who participated in the Program were matched with their first choice hospital, while 75 per cent were matched with a hospital among their first three choices. Almost all of the seniors will continue their training at University-affiliated hospitals. Attesting to the high caliber of the class, Dr. Cummiskey pointed to "matches" at Los Angeles Harbor Hospital as well as the Mayo Graduate School. Fifty-four chose medicine, 22 surgery, 16 pediatrics, 11 family practice, 10 flexible programs, 6 psychiatry, 3 pathology, 2 obstetrics/gynecology, and one apiece for diagnostic radiology, ophthalmology, and neurology. Filled were University programs in medicine at the Buffalo General/E.}. Meyer Memorial Hospitals. "They received all12 rotating and 18 straight medicine residents sought," Dr. Cummiskey pointed out. Millard Fillmore Hospital filled its request for four straight 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �medicine residents while Children's Hospital filled its program in straight pediatrics (13) as did Deaconess Hospital requests in flexible (5) and straight surgery (3).

He takes up " Hum or and W it" and " Mutuality." Th e f irst installment of Part IV cove red " Anger" and " Faith and Prayer." Part IV (concluded) His Relationship With Other Cancer Patients And Some Of The Things He Learned From Them By Samuel Sanes, M.D. HUMOR AND WIT Cancer is not a matter for levity and flippancy. Did you ever hear a professional comedian of any type, even the sadistic Don Rickles, make cancer or the cancer patient the butt of his gags? Molly McGee of radio's " Fibber McGee and Molly" would have said " T' ain' t funny, McGee. " Healthy persons find it hard to take" cancer" as a fun subject. Last year " All in the Family" ran a program on the threat of breast cancer and a possible mastectomy for Edith Bunker. Happily the lesion proved benign. A woman, assumedly not a cancer patient, protested in a letter to the TV editor of The New York Times : " I fail to see how the above-mentioned episode, which dealt with a profoundly disturbing problem, could even remotely be called humorous. The fact that the episode .. . happy ending .. . does not absolve its producers from showing greater responsibility and sensitivity . .. " An English play, " The National Health," opened on Broadway last Fall. It found cancer, among other serious illnesses, a subject for laughter. Clive Barnes, critic for The New York Times, labeled the play an exploration " into the queasily dangerous area of bad taste" but felt that the playwright's comedic approach was redeemed by his " compassion and concern . . . He regards life so highly," Barnes wrote, " that he can make a joke about terminal cancer and get away with it. " * Feve r sig nals dan ge r to lymphomaleukemia patients on radiation, ch emoand steroid therapy. They worry more about in fec tions - bacterial, viral, fungal, " protozoal" - than they do about their primary disease. In the 2 ~ years since diag nos is and onset of treatment Or. Sanes has had three infections -shingles and two "viral" respiratory in fec tions, one complicated by unilateral purulent rhinitis which cleared rapidly with antibiotic. * * Cancer patients resent even more than healthy persons do any indication that others take cancer lightly. " I don' t mind joking about my condition," one commented, " provided I do it myself. " (Actually the " All in the Family" program mentioned before was urged upon the producer by a woman aide who had had a mastectomy.) There is, in fact, a certain amount of good-natured " needling," joshing and banter among physicians and other members of the medical team and their patients in the lymphoma-leukemia clinic in the cancer institute. Cancer patients with a sense of humor and a knack for wit who joke about other matters are quite capable of doing so about their own disease and themselves. Usually it is a self-kidding, bitter-tender, ironic, sort-of-gallows humor but humor nevertheless. 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �- Mrs. Birch Bayh, wife of the senator from Indiana, since undergoing a mastectomy for cancer of the breast, refers to herself and fellow patients as " bosom buddies." - Another woman who had been surgically treated for mammary cancer wrote to Mrs. Ford, wife of the nation's President, an archetypal Republican conservative: " Perhaps we 'radicals' could get together. " - A high school girl with whom I would wait in the hematology OPD clinic " guessed' that she must have caught leukemia from going to the movies too frequently . She saw " Love Story" (in which the heroine had leukemia) five times. - A teen-aged boy under radiation therapy for Hodgkin' s Disease stumped me with the riddle " Why is a patient under radiation treatment like a pornographic movie?" " I don' t know," I responded. " Why?" " Because they' re both X-ra(y)ted. Get it?" - A college girl composed but didn' t submit a three-word , threeline rhyming verse in response to a Buffalo newspaper columnist's invitation to a " shortest poem" competition. In those three words and three lines her verse was an epic poem, covering the whole struggle for adjustment by the patient discovered to have lymphoma-leukemia. "Mope Hope Cope." - I visited in the hospital a physician of my age group, a former student of mine and a professional colleague for 37 years, with metastases showing up less than 18 months after the original resection of the colon for cancer. (We had both learned of our diagnoses at the same time in February, 1973.) He had received a course of radiation and was suffering from severe radiation proctitis as well as the side effects of chemotherapy. He lay in bed, his face creased in pain. I stood at the bedside. After our initial greeting, we were both silent. Then he looked up at me seriously and said, "Sam, would you do something for me?" " Anything," I replied, " anything at all. What is it?" " Will you please find me the name of the guy who coined the term ' the golden years' ?" " But why?" " I want to give him a good kick in the ass. " " Hoping all the time,". I rejoined, "that he also has radiation proctitis. " You should have heard the two of us disseminated cancer patients explode into laughter so loud that it must have startled the patient in the room across the corridor. - There was nothing laughable to the onlooker in the sallow-faced young woman with dark circles under her eyes who hobbled into the lymphoma-leukemia clinic doubled up in pain. Her husband walked behind her, his arms around her waist, his hands pressing on her abdomen . A nurse hurried up, offering to bring a wheelchair. " No," the patient thanked her. " The pain is less when I walk this way. The pressure of my husband' s hands seems to relieve it. " " Isn' t there something I can do?" the nurse persisted. d- SUMMER, 1975 9 Coming back to Buffalo from a threem onth stay in Guadalajara, Mexico, Dr. Sames res umed his biweekly checku ps at the R oswell Park M em orial Institute's ly m p hom a-leukemia clinic. On his fi rst revisit, after blood co unt, X- ray f ilm of ches t and weigh-in, Cora Taylor, clinic aide, takes Dr. Sanes' temperature. " Normal - no feve r. " �" Yes," the patient responded with a wry laugh as she leaned doubled up over the clinic secretary's desk . " How about getting me a ' whole body transplant' ? Don ' t you have a Dr. Frankenstein on your staff?" - Another woman sat next to me in the diagnostic X-ray department. She had had surgery for cancer of the rectum and had a colostomy, hepatic and pulmonary metastases. Looking up from the morning newspaper she had been reading, she turned to me and sighed wistfully, " If only one of those ' breakthroughs' I' m always reading about in the headlines would turn out to be a ' true break' for us cancer patients." Humor , genuinely felt and expressed, is an excellent coping mechanism for some cancer patients. It saves them from denying their predicament, from indulging in self-pity. It releases inner tensions . And it permits them to make other patients as well as themselves feel brighter and better. * Already apprised of temperature and w eight readings, hematolog ic and X-ray reports , Dr. Michael C. Snyderman, who sees Dr. San es reg ularly in the clinic, obtain s an interv al history, this tim e a threem onth one, f rom th e clinical summary which Dr. Sanes ' Mexican physician has sent back with him. Dr. Snyderman then does a physical examination . " No new nodes palpable. Live r and spleen not fe lt." * * MUTUALITY Albert Schweitzer wrote of the brotherhood of those who suffer pain. I write of another brotherhood, perhaps a closer, more exclusive one, that of cancer patients, particularly those with the same type and stage of cancer. Cancer patients identify with each other in a different, more intimate way than they do with persons among other groups to which they belong, including their immediate families . For example : A 50-year-old woman with presumptive carcinoma of the sigmoid was admitted to the colon service of the cancer institute for a resection. The patients on the floor visited her, included her in the group. They talked to her, told her to have courage, made her feel " one of the family. " When the operation disclosed a benign lesion, everything changed. The other patients still spoke with her , but there was a difference. Sh~ was no longer one of them. Politely but firmly they shut her out. (It was an example, you might say, of the " haves " versus the " have nots. " ) My own experience and observations bear out what I read in a recent article, " Cancer Patients Help Themselves, " from which I shall borrow certain statements. The empathy of cancer patients for each other can be of real value as a coping mechanism in a program of treatment and rehabilitation . For years I have heard lay persons and physicians who haven' t had cancer themselves decry the " segregation" of cancer patients in their own clinics and hospitals, groups and clubs, and hospices for the dying. Cancer patients, they have emphasized, are just like any other patients and should be treated as such. It is " unhealthy" to consider them otherwise. Now, on the basis of my own experience and observations of other patients, I would take some exception to that attitude. In a hospital where there are no natural, informal, spontaneous groups of certain kinds of cancer patients, it could be valuable to create officially-structured ones. 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The association with fellow cancer patients " meets an individual' s need for security, belonging, companionship, and mutual support" from those like him, a need that can be met in no other way. * * * Let me give some examples. The lymphoma-leukemia clinic for adults at the cancer institute is a natural, spontaneous, informal group not only for patients but also for the members of their immediate families who accompany them . At any morning session where I go for a checkup there are 15-30 patients of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. " There are others like me." I am not alone. The clinic group acts as a reinforcement community or g roup therapy session for both patients and relatives. (It is often difficult to tell, from their appearance, which is which.) Long-time patients talk to each other, compare notes on their disease, tests, therapy, and its side-effects. They air their worries and concerns, gripes and peeves, problems of everyday living. They also talk about the pleasant happenings and enjoyable activities in their lives. N ew patients are "surprised and relieved that others felt helplessness," uncertainty and frustration just as they do. A patient may be calmed by learning that others, too, have thought of suicide as a way out and have managed the situation in their own ways. " I thought I was the only one to ever think of suicide. I thought I was crazy for thinking it." Within the group praise for psychologic strength and perseverance may help patients renew their feelings of self-esteem. As the weeks pass, the whole group takes courage from seeing a fellow patient make good progress. Certain patients with 5-10 year survival or " cure" prove even the improbable dream comes true. Sometimes one patient will fail to show up and word will go around that he is worse and has been admitted to the cancer institute as an inpatient. If, in a few weeks, he is back in the clinic again in good spirits, it is eviden ce that another battle has been won, for a while anyway. If he does not return, some of the group, who have formed a close attachment for him, suffer a wrench. But they keep on hoping with trust in their physicians and a longshot gamble on research. They obtain satisfaction and support from sharing their ability to keep going despite everything. " How are you this morning?" inquires the clinic secretary of a lymphoma patient on a revisit. " Terrible," answers the woman, " but I'm here and that makes all the difference in the world." What is true in the outpatient clinic is also true among hospitalized patients. They support each other in times of stress. A physician who had to undergo radical surgery for infiltrating, recurring but non-metas tasizing cancer lay in bed, depressed, refusing to talk to anyone, including his wife. The woman who occupied the room across the corridor had extensive cancer with no prospects for control and cure. All she could hope SUMM ER, 1975 11 Following the ph y sical examinatio n, Dr. Sn y derman in for m s Dr. Sanes of his f indings, the labo rato ry and Xra y resu lts. He m a k es recomme ndatio n s and gives ass urance. d- �for was palliation. Her husband denied the seriousness of her disease and didn't visit her. But she refused to surrender. Getting dressed one morning, she crossed the corridor to say a word to the doctor, whose depression the nurses had told her about. "Come on," she said. "Get up. Look at all the other patients. Look at me. And you're an M.D. I'm going to the beauty parlor and when I come back I expect to see you up and walking around." Her efforts, along with those of another patient, a college student with multicentric cancer, finally did what the professionals had been unable to do - got the physician-patient out of bed and onto the road to psychologic adjustment for operation. * At 6 PM May 10, 1975, Or. Sanes achieved the longest-term goal he had set for himself when radiation therapy was initiated for his disseminated cancer in March, 1973. He attended the 45-year reunion of his Medical School class. He had beaten the 76% two-year mortality rate for disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma. Dare he hope to attend his 50-year reunion with triumph over the five-year mortality rate of 90-95%? * * During the first three months after my own diagnosis and the onset of radiation therapy, I often fretted about my condition, whether the side effects I was experiencing were real or whether I was neurotically imagining them. At my lowest ebb, my wife called a friend, a clergyman who had been under treatment at the institute for disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma for ten years. She relayed to me what he told her about his own early reactions to his disease and its treatment, his subsequent progress and setbacks. Aware though I was that every case differs, it was very reassuring to me to know that he had come through it all and was still pursuing a happy, productive life. A year later I was able to give some of this same reassurance to another physician with disseminated cancer when he was placed on chemotherapy. Alarmed at how he felt, he telephoned me to compare side effects and I could assure him that what was happening to him was perfectly" normal" in relation to the drug he was taking. * * * Yet despite all the evidence that cancer patients can and do help each other, many physicians are fearful of their "interference" in the treatment and rehabilitation picture. It is difficult to persuade some physicians to act as sponsors or advisors for groups of cancer patients who have undergone definitive treatment- "laryngectomies,"" ostomies," "mastectomies" - and want to band together, in officially-organized groups, for mutual comfort and support and to help others. Sometimes a head of service or an administrator will refuse to permit representatives of such groups to visit patients in the hospital before and after treatment. I myself was politely turned down by a hospital social worker whom I met at a public function. "Now that I am doing fairly well myself," I suggested, "I might be able to give some psychologic support to other physicians with disseminated cancer while they are hospitalized. Do you think that you could use me? I would be glad to come in to see them and talk with them." 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"Oh, I'm afraid that some attending physicians wouldn't like that," she told me. I heard nothing more of the matter. Obviously hospital visiting should be done only by persons who are properly qualified, selected, trained, and oriented. The physician should realize, however, that there are things that he and other members of the basic medical team cannot do for certain cancer patients and be prepared to utilize anyone who can help. The list is a long one. Besides clergymen and other cancer patients, it includes dentists, secretaries, social workers, psychiatric and family counselors, visiting nurses, homemakers, physical and vocational rehabilitation and prosthetic specialists, representatives of the Cancer Society and other community agencies, officials of industry, labor, and government. * * * The coping ability of cancer patients, particularly those active with disseminated disease, in the face of their uncertain future never ceases to impress me. - I was waiting my turn in the lymphoma-leukemia clinic one day when a new patient came in and sat down beside me. He was obviously frightened. It showed in his eyes, his voice, his posture. "Your next patient is terribly scared," I told my physician as I went into the examing room. "They all are," he responded. "The remarkable thing is how well, in time, they cope, even then they have to be hospitalized. Ninety-five percent of them meet their disease not only with courage and with lifeaffirming drive but even with heroic efforts to continue their everyday activities. Only five percent give up- lie in bed in a fetal position with eyes tightly shut or the bedclothes pulled over their heads or sit all day in a chair, glum and silent, guzzling beer." If ever I start sinking into a slough of discontent and self pity when doing as well as can be expected with my cancer, I will quickly pull myself up through the lesson I learned from this incident in the lymphoma-leukemia clinic. -An ambulatory patient with a reputation as a chronic complainer, a man in his sixties, was listing his gripes in a whining voice - gripes about his state of health, his treatment, his personal and family problems. (Actually he was in remission). A woman patient known for the low boiling point of her temper and for her outspokenness listened as long as she could stand it. Then: "What are you griping about?" she virtually yelled at the other patient so that everybody could hear. "You're alive, aren' t you! " SUMMER, 1975 13 REFERENCES: Am.].

Solomon Addendum: Reference New York Times (Dr. Gary Leinbach), p. 1, July 22, 1974 �Nutrition Lectures Monkeys may be good experimental animals for studying nutrition. But Dr. George Kerr, who opened a series of nutrition lectures sponsored by the department of biochemistry, believes that our answers will come from the communities themselves, from the way that different people with different backgrounds look at food . "We need to know what people are thinking and what they already know about food, " the pediatrician/ nutritionist who heads Harvard School of Public Health's primate center said. " A recent Harvard study points to young people being kept in fine physical shape on lower caloric intakes than is indicated on present-day charts." Obversely he feels that different cultures, customs, and beliefs may interfere with good health. In tracing what we know about nutrition right back to biblical days, he pointed to Hippocrates' awareness that a lack of some foods may cause important diseases, the prevalence of smallpox, scurvy, and the Black Death with the Roman diet, and early knowledge on fetal development/ nutrition related systems from artist/ anatomists such as Leonardo di Vinci. From a search to prevent scurvy, came the scientific method and from Malthus the ultimate equation- that all available food is divided by those who eat it. There was also the theory of predictable growth in the early 1900's as well as an increase in epidemic diseases over the next quarter century. Deploring blindness that is caused by vitamin A deficiency, he pointed to the cost of but a dime a year per person to prevent it. " Nutrition education," he said, "can not only be good but can cause a great deal of damage. " In black children, where rickets seem to be so prevalent, knowledge of their lactase deficiency has led to elimination of milk from their diet. " We must point out that even a small amount of it per day will provide the vitamin 0 that is needed," Or. Kerr said. And if we are ever going to get a handle on obesity, he believes that " we have got to stress that a fat baby is not always a sign of health." The biggest problem in nutrition today? Or. Kerr points to coronary artery disease that seems to be associated with it. And what is most needed for people in emerging countries today? Food and contraceptives, he concluded. Not only does cardiovascular disease account for a huge number of deaths in this country but the clinical course for those alive/ disabled remains a gloomy one. With coronary care units and bypass surgery less than triumphant, Dr. Robert McGandy sees the emphasis today on prevention. Atherosclerosis, says the epidemiologist/ pathologist/ n u tri tionis t from the Harvard School of Public Health, is the main cause of heart attacks, strokes, and is related to hypertension. In this disease, both large and medium-size arteries become plugged by fat or blood lipids as they are called. " This narrowing of area available for blood flow causes reactive pressure on artery walls," he said. A commonplace disease, some get it earlier than others. And rare is the individual with no signs of it at all, he said. While it usually begins 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �very early in life - in the teenage years - it may take another 40 to become advanced enough to produce myocardial infarctions or final stage thrombosis. While statistics point to a leveling off of this disease during recent years, it also cautions the one out of every five males in this country who will develop coronary artery disease, the 30 per cent who will die after the first heart attack , and another 40 per cent who will follow within a week. " If you make it after the first myocardial infarction, chances are that the risk of a second one will increase four to fivefold over the next three years, " Dr. McGandy said. Most investigators agree that diet is directly linked to a change in blood lipid levels. " In comparing one population to another, diet alone accounts for all variability in blood lipid levels," he said. It alone acts independently of other risk factors such as obesity, smoking, diabetes , etc. which seem to act in a synergistic manner. " Diet is the simplest to manipulate," Or. McGandy continued. " For it relies on substitutes." Is cardiovascular disease inevitable in any population? No, was his response . Nor is it one of aging nor can it be passed off on bad genes. While the American diet is changing, he attributes it more to convenience and expense than to education. " We should reduce our levels of lipid intake," he cautioned . " For only in Western society have cholesterol levels been found to advance with age ." Substitute margarine for butter, skim or low fat milk for the whole variety, eliminate egg yolks, and trim fats off meat, he concluded. Or. Herrara There is a definite relation between mental retardation and nutrition. What this relation is was explored by Dr. Guillermo Herrara at the third nutrition lecture. Two common diseases in the early 20th century were associated with malnutrition and mental retardation. " Pellagra affected epidemic numbers in certain mountainous regions of South America and Switzerland, " the Harvard School of Public Health nutritionist said. Adding animal protein to the diet of these niacin-deficient children quickly brought the disease under control. In Guatamala half the children were affected by a disease known as deaf mutism. Because of an iodine deficiency during their critical growth period, these children were unable to produce a thyroid hormone so essential to development of their central nervous system. "They become helpless, " Or. Herrara notes. " They are incapable of caring for their own needs ." Iodized salt intake reduced the problem. Studies show that one quarter of the world's children are undernourished he said . "One consequence of early malnourishment," he said, " is stunting in growth. " But other negative environmental factors may be linked as well - lower income families, increased morbidity, greater parental absenteeism/ alcoholism. In Chile the malnourished child is apathetic, hostile, less able to relate to his environment. And in Bogota a 14-point gap in IQ between the under nourished/ nourished can only partly be explained by better educated parents, a mother more apt to play with and to teach her children. d-- SUMMER , 1975 15 �In the experimental animal, protein restriction during the critical 21-day period of brain growth leads to reduced DNA levels, a situation that Dr. Herrara notes can never be reversed. " The evidence suggests that the situation may be similar in humans ," he said . And protein/ calorie malnutrition may be one variable causing mental retardation . To better cope with adverse pregnancy factors and morbidity in families at high risk in Columbia a longitudinal study has been undertaken . While some pregnant mothers receive health care or food supplements for varying periods, others get psychological help or a combination. With only one third of the study complete, Dr. Herrara notes that larger size babies appear to result from greater protein intake. " Birth weight correlates well with greater cognitive development," he said. What happens when you get too much or too little vitamin A, D , E or K? Dr. K.C. Hayes would vouch for the safety of only one of these popular fat soluble vitamins. Too much of vitamin A, explained the nutritionist from the Harvard School of Public Health, may never lead to death. " You get so sick that you just stop taking it. " So unique is its structure that it fits right into the cell membrane and becomes active. While the bulk of our supply comes from green leafy vegetables, we derive the other half of our needs from meat, fish or poultry . Infants require about 2000 units a day. But that adults need more, in fact 5000/ ul/day, he attributes to their larger size. While other tissues are not as specific to vitamin A as is the retina , the veterinary medicine/ pathology trained Dr. Hayes said that "without it you cannot even form a cell. " And its deficiency remains the single most important cause of blindness in the world today. Among conditions that may develop when you get too little of it are : night blindness or nyctolopia as it is called xerophthalmia where an extreme dryness of the eye' s conjunctiva gives a skinlike appearance hydrocephalytic fetus due to increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure in malnourished pregnant women inanition or exhaustion from starvation that leads to death. Its range of safety is tremendous before toxicity sets in. Then mitosis or cell division is stimulated. " There is a whole process of epithelium bone differentiated changes, capillary walls collapse, there is hemorrhaging and damage from overflow of this vitamin from its storage sites in the liver may even lead to death. " But a lot of damage can also be caused from the calcification process. " In a calcium or vitamin D deficient diet," Dr. Hayes explained, " you end up drawing lots of calcium away from the bone. In a condition known as hypercalcemia, 15 per cent more calcium is deposited in tissues such as liver/ kidney. As one gets older, bones get thinner and thinner. It is a clinical picture that we also see in kidney disease and rickets as well. " 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A cholesterol-like structure, vitamin D forms in body and skin. Some ultra violet light can activate this vitamin taken up by the liver. "The new structure then moves to the kidney where there is a constant filtering of blood serum, phosphorus and calcium. And it is stored there," he said. Its daily requirement? "No one yet knows. We are just starting to measure its movement in the blood." Even nature seems to understand our need for vitamin E, Dr. Hayes continued. "Large amounts of it are found with unsaturated fats in wheat germ." So important for man are vegetables he said that not enough of vitamin E may lead to damage of membrane in smooth muscles as in muscular dystrophy and in white muscle disease that affects calves/lambs in the spring. But long usage of this vitamin in monkeys even leads to gastric ulcers, Dr. Hayes cautioned. "While we do not yet clearly understand how it protects us, 7 to 10 units a day of vitamin E seems adequate. " In premees, hemolytic anemia can be a problem. It results from a lack of prothrombin so important in the clotting mechanism. " Because vitamin K or potassium seems to influence its synthesis, it is given routinely to the fetus during delivery and to the new infant until its bacterial colony in the intestine is firmly established to ensure lifelong protection. " The vitamin for Man? "No doubt about vitamin E," Dr. Hayes said. Or. Douglas M. Surgenor, professor of biochemistry, directs the conference. While little is known on the effect of diet on aging, there are hints coming from studies with experimental animals and man. "All we have today," pointed out Dr. Robert McGandy, who presented the fifth in a series of nutrition lectures, "are untestable theories which do not fit the facts." For instance, whenever reserve capacity of whatever we can measure in the body diminishes - be it basal metabolism, cardiac, glomerular filtration rate - the remaining cells seems able to take over their function. Studies point to some reversible forces in aging however. " We know that the life expectancy for those living in the city drops five years," the Harvard School of Public Health nutritionist said. And for those who never marry, are divorced or widowed, lifespan is shortened a like number of years. Obesity, he pointed out, can also lop off four to 15 years as attested by cardiovascular and cancer deaths. And if you smoke a pack or two of cigarettes daily, you may lop off another seven to 12 years from your lifespan. The largest drop, that of 15 years, comes from strokes or heart attacks in those with the highest blood lipid or cholesterol levels. But if you are female, you will live three years longer than a male, he pointed out. Or if you are an offspring of parents who live to 90 or more, you will add seven to eight years to life expectancy. Much of what we know about nutrition has come from small laboratory animal studies, he said. If a laboratory rat is fed one half of its SUMMER, 1975 17 d- �usual food intake, it will still achieve 95 percent of its skeletal dimensions . And free of all body fat, it will increase its lifespan an average threefold, " Dr. McGandy said. " While we know that we can delay the onset of change, once the process of aging begins, it proceeds at exactly the same pace. " Pathological evidence in human/ animal tissue reveals cell accumulation of a pigment known as lipofuscin. " This aging pigment is prominent in cardiac muscle," he said. But other than these studies , there is no evidence for man that an obese person who loses weight and stays thin has a more favorable mortality rate. He believes that cancer, particularly tumors of the lung , bowel, and breast, may be linked to diet as in cardiovascular disease today. " The evidence is growing on environmental involvement," he said . While cancer of the colon is more common in this country today , it is almost never seen in developing countries. And when orientals move to our west coast or to Hawaii and its more Western lifestyle, their risk of this disease increases . The same, he said, holds true for breast cancer. " This hormone-related tumor may be susceptible to dietary intake. " A study of middle class Americans - those with resources and a knowledge of good dietary habits , shows no nutrition problems in aging . " All we do know about this group is that calories are obesityrelated ," Dr. McGandy said. For over a year' s time, five calories a day or 1800 a year will add half a pound of fat to any man or woman who continues to eat in the same old way. He believes that a change in basal metabolic rate may account for this and that a new diet for this less active group is indicated. The real problems of diet and aging are socio-economic - money , isolation, and the ability to shop right. " It is not one of a change of taste or smell, loose fitting dentures , etc. " Because iron intake in this country is as low as anywhere in the world, and anemia or some form of it is so prevalent, he feels that " we need to carefully pick our foods to get sufficient vitamins and to fortify the American diet through iron intake. " Setting up specific nutritional requirements for a defined group of people," he believes is going to be a significant problem. " Nutritional problems are related to socio-economic conditions. Several studies in Europe and the United States indicate conclusively that at low socio-economic levels nutrition is usually poor and as a result more babies die ." That is what Dr. George Kerr said in his lecture on " Nutrition and Pregnancy." " You can't put nutrition in a box because it interacts with many things . At one time people thought nutritional problems could be solved easily by taking a pill. But it is much more complex, " Dr. Kerr said . " There is less good knowledge available today about nutrition and pregnancy than in most other scientific areas. But proper diet and nutrition are important to healthy babies. " Half of all infant deaths in the United States are attributable directly or indirectly to low birth weight. Pregnant women whose social environment place them in the "risk" category are most likely to deliver 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �babies weighing less than five pounds, and these small newborns are highly vulnerable to injury and disease. Dr. Kerr cited two main problems regarding nutrition and pregnant women : physicians have believed the epidemiological data, and too often nutrition is equated with weight. The Harvard pediatrician-nutritionist traced the history of pregnancy and nutrition since the days of Hippocrates. " It wasn' t until the 1600' s that we had an accurate description of the fetus. And the first pediatric textbook wasn' t written untill700." " About 1800 there were great advances in anesthesia and improved surgical techniques. Also there was less infection when doctors began washing their hands. But eclampsia was still unsolved. " It wasn' t until1899 that diet became a factor. A German physician was interested in making deliveries easier for his patients. So he decided to make the babies smaller by putting the pregnant women on a low calorie diet. " In 1911 food was found to be a cause of problems during pregnancy. And during the next 10 years there was considerable statistical evidence to support the fact that nutrition was an important factor in childbirth." Dr. Kerr pointed out that the recommended weight gain for expectant mothers has changed many times over the years. " The current optimal weight gain for pregnant women is 24 to 27 pounds. Why? Probably because we don' t want a fat woman and a large baby born to a small woman might cause delivery problems. " Some people have suggested a diet analysis, but this is very difficult. "When you write down your food consumption for a day or week, what do you compare it with?" In conclusion Dr. Kerr made several observations : beware of rules; weight gaining during pregnancy is a very insensitive gauge of a healthy woman; high risk population needs closer supervision during pregnancy; any diet should contain a wide variety of food ; when a pregnant mother is hungry she should be allowed to eat; be careful of medication. A higher level of it goes to the fetus than remains with the mother; it is unwise for a woman to become pregnant when she is ill or dieting .O SUMM ER, 1975 19 �Maternal/Fetal Care Center The team discusses patient problems at weekly meeting. Because insults that can happen to a baby during intrauterine life are permanent ones, a coordinated team effort in Buffalo is helping to prevent them from happening. So impressed was Dr. Wayne L. Johnson- he is one of only 16 in this country licensed in the new subspecialty of maternal-fetal care - of the high-risk pregnancy program run by Dr. Loren P. Petersen at the University of Indiana when he was there, that the Buffalo gynecology/obstetrics chairman asked the young 37 -year-old perinatalogist to set up a similar educational approach to caring for high-risk patients in Buffalo. Here they would look at the effects of genetics, pregnancy on maternal disease, try to determine how the newborn adjusts or adapts to health and disease during pregnancy and labor, and search for better diagnostic tests for infection in both mother and fetus. Dr. Petersen came. And in the new division of maternal and fetal medicine that he now heads at the Children's Hospital, the care that a team of specialists is giving to mothers at high risk is helping to lower the perinatal mortality rate in this city that has been higher than the national average- 20 versus 17 per thousand- and which jumps twofold in Lackawanna. "So incredible has the experiencing of life" been for Dr. Petersen that he is dedicated to giving the best possible care to those at high risk. "Each time I enter a delivery room, am faced with a patient who represents a combined total of 120 years of life, and for whom problems during delivery without trained personnel may lead to complications causing retardation over a lifetime, I know we cannot afford not to do something." If 20 there is prevention of just one retarded child, then the associate professor of gyn/ob feels that not only has a lifetime of tragedy been eliminated for a family, but a quarter of a million dollars saved by the State. A leading cause of perinatal problems is that of premature birth. Preventing it by intrauterine resuscitation of the infant during labor and delivery by Caesarean section, Dr. Petersen feels, may well lead to a better-quality infant. And because diet alone may prevent irreparable damage to the child, many things are being done in this area to improve perinatal care. The evidence, notes the Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics/Gynecology and Diplomate of the American Board of Obstetrics/Gynecology, is clear that through adequate nutrition of the mother, we can create a more healthy environment for the baby. Now assessing protein nutrition measurements during pregnancy is technician Joe Dunn. But what the maternal/fetal care team finds so exciting today is not just dealing with the effects of a genetics problem in pregnancy but in preventing them. One way is through intrauterine treatment of a defect to prevent retardation. Having a baby, notes the Minnesota/Oregon trained specialist - he received a medical degree from the University of Minnesota in 1964 where he also completed an internship; an ob/gyn residency and a master's in biochemistry earned at University of Oregon - is just the start of life. To determine those at high risk, there are now three diagnostic evaluations. One is for placental (HPL) and fetal function. Another, on plasma estriol determines fetal well being, while noninTHE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Swtantarta Ogra sets up culture on breast milk. Joseph Dunn, medical biochemist, measures plasma estriol levels. SUMMER, 1975 William Schmidt, clinical biochemist, measures level of urea nitrogen . Nurses also learn about mothers at high risk from Or. Johnson . 21 �Patient at high risk gets sage advice from Dr. Petersen. vasive sonar testing determines fetal growth and development as well as recognizes some fetal abnormalities during early pregnancy. In the perinatal laboratory, biochemical studies are helping to unravel some of the unknowns that may lead to better patient care. There is assessment of risk to the fetus via drugs, viral and bacterial effects. And for the rH baby, there are intrauterine transfusions . But for perinatologists, viral infections remain an eternal frustration . These unsolved problems, notes Dr. Petersen, can produce mental retardation in the fetus and are implicated in cytomegalorivus, herpes, rubella as well as infections such as toxoplasmosis during pregnancy. There are also tests to determine human placental function, human fluid studies with amniocentesis as well as a hard look at the mechanisms of labor in order to develop better tests on the fetus in trouble, those with feeding and growth problems. While high risk clinics are now located in the community as well as at the E.J. Meyer, Buffalo General, Deaconess, and Children's Hospitals, Dr. Petersen is convinced that an even greater Fetal m o nitoring g ives Dr. Johns on (left) fetal electrocardiog ram as well as a num ber of m easurem ents w hose meaning Mennan Greatbatch project engineer Alf red L.

Nurse Paula Clay back responds to "hot line" query on management of toxemia. public awareness is necessary "if we are to recognize all of the babies in trouble, and where possible, help them." Not only is there fetal monitoring during labor, but for patients with monitoring problems there is research underway with engineering expertise from the firm of Mennan Greatbach Electronics as well as a study of its newer aspects - systolic time intervals - to pinpoint babies in stress. Notes Dr. Petersen, "one of our Fellows, Dr. Milo Sampson, has a degree in electrical engineering and physics. And he knows a great deal about fetal monitoring." There is also a close look by Dr. Swtantarta Ogra at how much immunological protection a baby gets through mother's breast milk, and there are studies on drug inhibition of labor as well as its physiological aspects by Dr. Wayne L. Johnson. In a genetics, obstetrics/gynecology clinic to be set up at the Children's and headed by Dr. Robin Bannerman, there will be genetic counseling and amniocentesis studies underway. d-- SUMMER, 1975 23 �Round-the-clock consultation is now available to area physicians via a 24-hour perinatal hot line as well as the latest perinatal developments through a monthly newsletter that is funded by the March of Dimes . At weekly Friday meetings , all of a patient's problems are reviewed by the team - social workers, nutritionists , nurses, pediatricians, geneticists, practicing obstetricians and students . " These meetings ," points out Dr. Petersen, " started last year at the hospital. " Training others to care for those babies in trouble is another important facet of division activities. Not only are residents and medical students exposed to fetal intensive care but nursing students as well. Soon to be underway is one of but a handful of Fellowship programs in maternal/fetal medicine in this country. " Two Fellows - Drs . Sampson and Shailaga Didolkar - will start this July, " notes Dr. Petersen. And because the area of neonatalogy is such a multidisciplinary one, residents will also rotate through all of its services. Concern continues as to lack of public awareness on the effects that drugs may have on a child over a lifetime. " This creation of man, " Dr. Petersen cautioned, " led to the thalidomide tragedy of a decade ago. And it is still proving to be unsafe in the young - be it an excess of vitamin A, a food fad or an alcohol problem. " Jan et Ne wman, R.N., in fe tal inte nsive care is a m ember of the team . 24 While the list of harmful drugs for fetal growth and development now numbers over 200, drug therapy has spelled the difference for many mothers. However a cautionary note was expressed on the cystic fibrotic or diabetic woman who is now getting pregnant. " They are imposing potential severe problems on their babies, " he said. Because most people need a friend, Dr. Petersen hopes to convince volunteer groups to adopt a high-risk mother. " We need to establish a meaningful relation that is beneficial to the individual, " he continued. And because mortality rates in this state are not solely due to disease- murders, accidents account for a very high percentage- he feels that we may not be giving our young an opportunity to create a meaningful life, that " perhaps we in medicine should be looking at more of these things. " Through a program to be offered this fall on those qualities of life that make it worth living, he hopes a panel of experts/ laiety may pinpoint opportunities by which the young may experience a more meaningful life as well as areas in Buffalo where it can be improved . For the clinician/teacher/researcher, life continues to remain absolutely profound . " I want everyone to experience the process of living.

WestSide Health Center Debrah Pope, RN and a pediatric nurse associate, and Dr. Beirne examine a baby. 26 WEST SIDE HEALTH CENTER at 17 Pennsylvania Street (Lakeview Apartment Complex) is a partnership affair. Involved in this unique partnership are Children's Hospital, the City of Buffalo, the Erie County Health Department and the Community Board. Dr. Harry M. Beirne, assistant professor of pediatrics, is the director of the pediatric program and is assisted by Dr. Mary Brady and Debra Pope, RN/PNA. Miss Pope is a graduate of the Pediatric Nurse Associate Program at SUNYAB and functions in the extended nurses role seeing pediatric patients under supervision of the pediatricians. Dr. Alan Shields, of the Erie County Health Department, is the physician for the Adult Program. The Health Center serves the families of the lower west side of Buffalo, an area that is underserved medically. One indicator of the medical need is the high percentage of under immunized children in the grade schools in the vicinity. The department of pediatrics has attempted to apply modern concepts of community pediatrics at the center. Primary pediatric care is offered including well and sick child care. Subspecialty or surgical care is provided by referral to Children's Hospital. The emphasis is on prevention of disease and the promotion of normal growth and development. Screening is a major aspect of the program including testing at specified ages for Mary Barth, public health nurse, checks the blood pressure of a patient. �I - Secretary clerk Carmen Carrion -- -- ---- - - - lead poisoning, anemia, urinary abnormalities and infections and tuberculosis. Developmental screening is also an integral part of the ongoing care of children. Visual and audiometric hearing screening is planned for the near future. Currently a health worker is being trained to perform sweep screening audiometry on preschool age children. Several family health workers funded through the City of Buffalo Office of Manpower Planning and the Erie County Health Department are working in the clinic assisting in clinic procedures including interpretation for Spanish speaking patients and doing outreach work. They work under the supervision of Mrs. Anne Dickens, the clinic's Social Worker. The pediatric and adult clinics operate primarily on an appointment basis. The pediatric clinic is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, Monday morning and Friday afternoon. The adult program has hours Monday afternoon and Friday morning. Currently, approximately 80 patients a week are scheduled at the Health Center. Every Wednesday morning a Maternal and Infant Care Clinic meets in the same facility. This clinic is a part of a city wide program directed by Dr. Adebayo S. Ademowore and funded by the Department of H.E.W. through the New York State Department of Health. Dr. James Chen is the OB-GYN physician for this clinic which provides comprehensive prenatal care including nutritional and social evaluation and counseling as well as family planning services to "high risk" populations. Medical secretary Jenny Maroney Susan Ganzer, a social worker, (right) visits with a patient. SUMMER, 1975 - 27 --- �Dr. Mary Brady, pediatrician, and Kathy DiGaudio, RN, with a patient. A coordinated program has been worked out between the pediatric and M&IC clinics at this facility. Expectant mothers who choose to have their pediatric care at the center and who deliver at Children's Hospital are interviewed by the Pediatric Nurse Associate (PNA) in the prenatal clinic during the last trimester of pregnancy. The Mary Barth and Mr. Russell Smith, a community health planner consultant. pediatricians and PNA subsequently begin their direct health care supervision of the baby in the newborn nursery. It is felt that this close cooperation between these programs will contribute to an optimal beginning care for these infants. Mr. Russell Smith, a health worker and member of the Community Board of the West Side Health Center, said the clinic was established with the philosophy that the best way to successfully deliver health care to the poor is to make use of the resources of the private sector. " We seek to integrate public and private resources in a partnership that will be beneficial to community residents. " In the fall of 1969 a group of medical students at the University working together with community people started to work actively to bring about a health center. At that time the medical students were reacting to what they felt were the needs of the people of the area for community based health services. The West Side is made up of a diversity of ethnic and racial groups including Puerto Rican, Black, Native, and Italian Americans, Arabs and others. For various reasons including language barriers, cultural practices and the lack of ambulatory medical facilities in the immediate area many of these people were not receiving medical care. On February 1 , 1972 the Center started as the Allentown-Lakeview Community Health Center on 273 Maryland Street. It was here that a group of people (volunteers, nurses, physicians, dentists and medical students) started to lay the ground work for the present program.O Secretary clerk Linda Chapman 28 �Library Hospital Relations The Health Sciences Library is expanding and strengthening its service relationship with area hospital libraries, according to Mr. C.K. Huang, health sciences librarian. "In recent weeks our staff members have visited major hospitals and health institutions to explain our services. " Currently delivery service (interlibrary loan) to users in hospitals is provided by the Information Dissemination Service of the Health Sciences Library. Services include loan of books, copied journal articles, computerized bibliographical searches through the various data bases of the SUNY Biomedical Network and the MEDLINE terminal of the National Library of Medicine. "We encourage hospital staffs to take full advantage of the services available to them. University faculty members stationed in the hospitals may request delivery service from the Health Sciences Library through their hospital library," Mr. Huang said. " Or they may come to the campus and use the library. They have the same privileges as a faculty member stationed on campus." Hospital staff without a faculty appointment may obtain a courtesy card from the library if they wish to borrow material. The Current Awareness or Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI) is another service by which researchers are kept alerted to new journal articles in their areas of interest. This is done through the SUNY Biomedical Network or MEDLINE. User profiles may be stored and automatically processed each month against the most current available data base. The current awareness profile will provide users with citations two to three weeks before they are available in the Index Medicus. The Information Dissemination Service of the library was established in 1970 with a three-year grant from the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program. This provided needed library services to the health professionals of Western New York. This service has been continued with support from the University, the Regional Medical Library and other cooperative programs. The library serves as· a backup to area hospital libraries, according to Mr. Huang. "This is the same principle under which various University branch libraries have been established to meet local service needs. Examples such as the Bell Science Library, the Ridge Lea Library, and the proposed Bio-Pharmacy Library provide library services for the faculty and students stationed in those locations. Other off-campus units, such as the departments of oral biology and physical therapy, also maintain small collections for their faculty. The Health Sciences Library provides backup support to all these unit libraries as well as supporting the hospital libraries." An updated union list of current periodical holdings of all hospital libraries in Western New York is being published, Mr. Huang said. A similar union list for audiovisual materials is being considered. These efforts will encourage the hospital libraries to share their resources and this will provide better service to its users. 0 SUMMER, 1975 29 �New Gyn-Ob Learning Center President Robert Ketter greets Dr. Randall. Sophomore medical student Nancy Nielsen and Or. Vincent Capraro in the learning center library. A student works through filmscript and workbook. A new gyn-ob learning center on the third floor of Children's Hospital Annex is helping students learn about patient care. Named the Clyde L. Randall Learning Center (he is a former department chairman who retired after 37 years of distinguished University service), it is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to medical, nursing, graduate, and postgraduate students. Its new classroom can hold up to 70 students, explained Dr. Wayne L. Johnson. And, the gynecology-obstetrics chairman continued, but a few paces from the lecturn is a battery of switches from which a lecturer can operate videotape, movie/slide projectors (overhead and opaque ones), lights, and PA system. Students are assured a quiet place for study. " In the learning laboratory, " he continued, " are individual study carrels equipped with caramate tape-slide projector programs with earphones." Even in the seminar room, where small group conferences may be held, there are slide/ movie projectors. In its library are reference books, journals, video- tapes, tape-slide programs, audio-tapes, and programmed texts . There is a complete listing of all audio-visual material, as well as topics for which a student is responsible. And if the student wishes to study at home, there are checkout privileges as well. Because " learning is something that is done by an individual," Dr. Johnson and others have prepared learning packages that will help him do just that. During the first week of the junior clinical clerkship, students spend much of their time in the Learning Center picking up the basics from these audio-visual aids on things they will need to know during their hospital duty. They range from the proper scrubbing of hands to the basics of labor and delivery. " The instructor," explained Dr. Johnson, " is then free to discuss patient problems with students as well as applications for the basics they have learned." for example, in a learning package on normal labor, the student receives filmscript, workbook and suggestions that he read objectives of the package, view the film, and take the post test, Dr. Johnson explained. " If the student has not been 100 percent accurate, he is asked to work through filmscript and practice cycles, try for a perfect score, and then completely assess the learning package. We want the best possible teaching program," he said. During the remaining time on clinical clerkship, juniors rotate in small groups through five teaching hospitals. Explained Dr. Vincent Capraro who heads the gyn-ob teaching program for students and residents, " we want them to view the whole spectrum of problems that a woman may have during reproductive years as well as something about the older patient." 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. and Mrs. Randall were honored at two receptions. One, an open house held in the new Clyde L. Randall Learning Center where his portrait will permanently hang, was sponsored by the gynecology-obstetrics department.

() 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Millard Fillmore Hospital (Gates Circle) has expanded its capability to care for its most critically ill heart patients. It has eight more beds in its cardiac care unit bringing the total to 44. Dr. Lawrence H. Golden, chairman of the department of medicine and chief of the Cardiology Section, said the " beds will be used for our most desperately ill patients." Dr. Golden is a 1946 Medical School graduate. Dr. Allen Goldfarb, director of the Cardiac Care Unit, explained that the new unit has additional sophisticated equipment offering hemodynamic monitoring. Each room in the new unit has a cardiac defibrillator at the patient's bedside, according to Dr. Goldfarb, a 1951 Medical School graduate. "Ours is a total approach to cardiac care," Dr. Golden said. " We offer the best possible medical care, but we don' t just put a patient in a bed and think of him as a cardiac. Coincident to his arriving at Millard Fillmore Hospital, he is put into a rehabilitation program which covers his understanding of his medical problems, his diet, exercise and physical therapy, and last but not least, a psychological approach to his illness. " Patients admitted to the Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital and requiring treatment in a cardiac care unit are transported to Millard Fillmore Hospital (Gates Circle) once their condition is stabilized. A specially equipped ambulance is used which provides the cardiac care unit with a constant electrocardiagram reading and direct telephone communication.() Hospital Expands Cardiac Care Dr. Go ldfa rb (left) and O r.

The Center serves the health needs of residents of Buffalo' s East Side and is funded by a $686,088 Federal Grant ($337,533 is from Erie County via HEW). The Center, which opened in December, occupies a large part of the old School 84 on the grounds of the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. "Our entire service area is Erie County but we are realistic and realize that most of our patients are going to come from the immediate neighborhood," said Dr. Ferdinand A. Paolini, project director. He is also director of clinics at the Meyer Hospital and a clinical associate professor of medicine at the Medical School. " The program at the Center is oriented toward the family - low income persons, young and old. We are treating the family as a whole and providing comprehensive care for every member of the family. We want our patients to consider our clinic, our team as their physician," Dr. Paolini said.

This includes physicians in pediatrics, obstetricsgynecology, and internal medicine; nurses, technicians, social workers, counselors, lab assistants, secretaries and representatives from mental health and Office of the Aging. There are also two special units- dentistry and pharmacy. The Center has extensive X-ray equipment and a laboratory to do a limited amount of analysis work, according to Mr. Henry Leftridge, program administrator. There is also an emergency room for minor problems. Patients with major problems requiring emergency care will be taken to Meyer Hospital. The idea for the Center was developed in 1973 by Erie County Executive Edward V. Regan and officials of the County Health, Mental Health, Social Services and Office of Aging Departments. A community group headed by Mr. Joseph Gist was also involved in planning the Center. The Center is open from 8 :30a.m. to 4:30p.m. five days a week on an appointment basis. Persons without appointments are often accepted. 0 Or. Jean Griffin examines a patient. Cynthia Leftridge works in the lab.

Mosher, Erie County Health Department Commissioner for the last 16 years, will retire July 1. He has been on the Medical School faculty since 1951. The 65-year-old Dr. Mosher is a clinical professor of social and preventive medicine. Terming his decision " difficult," Dr. Mosher said " it is time for me to seek a less demanding way of life than that of a public official in charge of a large department. I hope to do some consulting and perhaps some part-time teaching." A native of Ohio, Dr. Mosher received his medical degree from Syracuse Medical School in 1936 and his master' s degree in public health from the Harvard School of Public Health in 1939. Except for a period from 1943-1946 when he served in the United States Navy, Dr. Mosher has worked in public health since 1937 when he joined the State Health Department as an epidemiologist-in-training. Looking back on his 38 years of delivering health care to the public, Dr. Mosher said "our greatest accomplishments have been where we' ve been able to do it on a mass basis. " He cited the eradication of such dreaded infectious diseases as polio and diphtheria and the almost total extinction of tuberculosis as solid accomplishments. Dr. Mosher is also proud of the neighborhood health centers that his department has established in the inner city and Lackawanna . "We have led the nation in neighborhood health care, " he said. Dr. Mosher was appointed a deputy health commissioner for Erie County in 1950, first deputy commissioner in 1954 and health commissioner in 1959. He is the au thor of several scientific papers and a co-au thor of the book, " Long Term Childhood Illness." In 1972 he received the Hermann M. Biggs award for his outstanding work in public health from the New York State Public Health Association . Dr. Mosher was named an outstanding citizen by The Buffalo Evenings News in 1960. In 1965 he received a brotherhood award from the National Conference of Christians and Jews. (> SUMMER , 1975 37 Or. M os her �Or. Alvis USFMS Come Home by Harry]. Alvis, M .D. The Medical School accepted five third year students through COTRANS in August 1974. They all attended foreign medical schools. Th ey are: Michael Bye, University of Rome; Steven Karp, University of Brussels; and three from Guadalajara, Mexico- Thomas Foreman, Ronald Marconi, and Warren Thau. 0 In recent months the impact that foreign medical graduates are having on the U .5. medical scene has received much publicity. Some has been good, some not as good. Mixed into it however is the neglected problem of Americans who study at foreign medical schools because they were not accepted in American ones. But let us not dwell on the reasons why they were not accepted. For the past few years there has been close to three aspirants for each seat available in freshman classes in all of our medical schools. The two largest clusters of American medical students studying outside the United States are in Bologna, Italy and in Guadalajara, Mexico. There are twice as many at Guadalajara as at Bologna. This is a condensed report of how sons and daughters of our neighbors can return to the health-care system in our country as physicians. The best overall route back is COTRANS. It is a program sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) in which something less than half of the U.S. schools have agreed to participate. The Medical School at the State University at Buffalo has been a limited participator in the past. Hopefully its participation will grow in the future. To utilize this route, students enrolled in a foreign medical school must apply through AAMC headquarters in Washington for permission to take Part I of the National Boards. Passing this examination ostensibly makes one eligible for return to the U.S. system via the 42 out of a total of 115 medical schools that participate in the program. But there is another gimmick which must also be satisfied. Each school can set its own standards for passing this examination. For some the standard is overall passing, for others it is passing each subject. The standard at Buffalo today is passing all subjects. Some will say that this is a more stringent requirement for entering the clinical years of the curriculum than is now required of registered students. Others point out that this requirement assures at least a level of competence in the basic sciences gained in a school where there is no other basis of comparison with U.S. schools. Passing Part I of the National Boards falls far short of guaranteeing a place for return to the health-care system in America however. Not all of the participating schools take returnees each year. A school may take only a few COTRANS candidates for advanced standing or entry into the clinical years. The track record for this route of return- about half the number who inquire complete an application, only half of this number show up for the exam, and about half who do take the exam will pass it successfully. In a recent year, only a little over half of those who passed - ISO students- were able to find a position in a U.S. medical school. Years ago the Educational Council for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) agreed that the requirement of a foreign internship for a U.S. medical student was not as practical or useful as spending a comparable period as a clinical clerk in an approved affiliated teaching hospital in this country. Accordingly, ECFMG accepts an academic year of " supervised clinical experience" in lieu of a foreign internship. Some foreign medical schools that require completion of an internship before awarding an MD degree will accept a period as a clinical clerk in an American affiliated hospital as an equivalent. 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �One can therefore use the ECFMG clerkship route to obtain an ECFMG certificate after successfully passing the exam. The certificate is a key to open the door; for its holder is eligible for appointment to any approved residency training program in this country. Eligibility for appointment is a big step. While obtaining such an appointment may not be easy, it does put the USFMS graduate on " a par" with other graduates of foreign medical schools. And since ECFMG is widely accepted for a hospital training program appointment, its certificate is recognized for licensure requirements. The most recent way a USFMS may return to our system is through the FIFTH PATHWAY. It is a name coined by the inner AMA circle in their response to a lawsuit filed against organizations who control the health care system in this country. Most are aware that the AMA has no legal status in any jurisdiction and that whatever it says does not make anything legal. While this proposal did relieve the heat from a threatening lawsuit, it established nothing legally. Several states subsequently enacted laws to legally establish something resembling the FIFTH PATHWAY proposal. In Ohio, while such a law was enacted one year, it was rescinded the next. It caught some students from the Guadalajara Autonoma medical school in a very awkward position. The program was devised chiefly at the insistence of an organization of parents of students there as a mechanism to avoid Mexico's requirement that a year each of internship and social service must follow four years of medical classes. According to students, social service amounted to a year in a usually poorly-equipped rural clinic having the most elementary tools of the trade, often no drugs to dispense, and a large number of clients with no means to purchase them even if they were available. An additional complaint was that students were on their own. There was no backup or guidance. The FIFTH PATHWAY resembles, in content, the ECFMG Clerkship. While its nine-month supervised clinical experience is a varied one, its qualifying exam must be taken before the training period (as recommended by the AMA). In response to an aggressive lobbying campaign, the New York Assembly passed a law in 1972 which legalized implementation of programs that resembled the AMA' s FIFTH PATHWAY proposal. It did have a fatal flaw- it was so loosely worded that it would have opened the floodgates to all foreign medical graduates. Governor Rockefeller therefore vetoed the bill. . In 1973 a renewed effort met with passage by the Assembly of another bill in which that defect was corrected - the route was open only to U.S. citizens at the time of enrollment in a foreign medical school. There was still abundant room for manipulation and confusion for the bill required a qualifying exam. Unspecified however was what was considered to be an acceptable exam, what is a passing grade or when the exam should be taken in relation to participation in the program. It left these important decisions to each sponsoring school. While the New York State Board for Medicine carefully reviewed what it felt to be appropriate, no guidelines for a statewide uniformity of standards were printed by them. Persistent inquiry however revealed that the dSUMM ER, 1975 39 Routes By Which An American Can Enter U.S. Health Care System As A Physician I.

V. FIFTH PATHWAY - devised for students enrolled at Autonoma School of Medicine, Guadalajara but may be used by others in any Mexican medica/school. Premedical preparation- same as I. Foreign Medical School - usually four years. Internship and social service required by government prior to MD degree. Clerkship - nine months of general supervised clinical instruction in hospitals affiliated and sponsored by medical school. While authorized by New York State in 1973 the law is so loosely worded that it leaves considerable discretion to sponsoring school. NOTE: Principal attraction of this program over full ECFMG route is avoidance of government-required Social Service year which many consider NOT a learning experience limited supervision, instruction, facilities in rural clinics where social service is usually performed. Its chief criticism is that program is still quite new. No one yet knows full story on reciprocity for these programs in various states or acceptability of license secured via this route. VI. Eight Semester - often sought by students at Gudalajara. While student pays tuition to school in Mexico he obtains instruction in a U.S. hospital. There is some effort to indirectly associate this program with a U.S. school sponsorship. The program was not approved for Buffalo for a variety of reasons. Board favored ECFMG as the most relevant exam available today, that it should be taken before entry into the FIFTH PATHWAY Program, and that a passing score (scaled score of 75) represents an acceptable standard of performance. This view is not held or adhered to by every hospital or school offering such FIFTH PATHWAY -type programs. At U/B the Committee handling such programs decided by majority vote to adhere to Board for Medicine concepts- that ECFMG is an appropriate qualifying exam and that it should be passed prior to entering the program with a scaled score of no less than 75. All of these options however are left to the discretion of each sponsoring school. While surveillance at some schools over such programs may not be as complete as at Buffalo, the Committee feels that these programs will provide a legitimate mechanism by which Americans can return to the U.S. health care system. They also feel they should be conducted in such a way as to protect patients from exposure to students trained in a substandard way. The committee functions as follows: A chairman handles all correspondence to ensure the consistency of information given to all applicants. The applicant, along with a completed application form, must submit a copy of his academic records (undergraduate and graduate), a transcript of his medical school's records at least through the third year, and letters of recommendation from physicians who have some knowledge of his character, conduct, and professional potential. These are assembled and circulated through the committee for comment and a majority vote determines whether a candidate is acceptable or not. The committee also determines how many candidates can be accommodated in specific hospitals in the community. Internal medicine, surgery, ob/gyn, pediatrics, and social/preventive medicine are represented on the committee by physician members who assign each transferee to specific sites for their department's portion of "supervised clinical experience." Those conducting the training evaluate by submitting performance reports. Candidates are notified periodically on their progress by their local preceptor. On important matters, the transferee will be notified by the committee chairman, and a departmental representative will help on any problems that may arise on his portion of the training experience. While there has been no effort to publicize these programs, "word of mouth" has led to a steady flow of inquiries about Buffalo. The program began in the Fall of 1974. The first student has enrolled and others are in process during the winter. There are now more applications than places. Priorities established by the committee are for Western New York residents, other New York residents, and other states in that order. We now have applications from all over New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, California, and New Jersey. While there are similar programs in New York City, the number of applications exceeds the number of available places. There is another program often referred to by students at Guadalajara as the EIGHTH SEMESTER Program. While students pay tuition to a school in Guadalajara they train in a U.S. hospital. When this program was discussed some months back, serious objections were raised by our school about providing the training and Guadalajara supplying the 40 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �academic credit and rece1vmg the tuition. The Clinical Council strenuously objected on the basis that a student would occupy a training place that could otherwise be used for a COTRANS transfer student. When such a COTRANS student occupies a place there is some possibility for U/B receiving capitation funds. Still another objection raised centered on Guadalajara enrolling more students than they can train, as well as charging a high tuition fee. Lack of sufficient facilities to train such a large number of students leads to behavior that smacks of "operating a diploma mill." Cooperation in such a venture, it was therefore felt, encourages further development in that direction. Students involved are the "forgotten men and women." They know they will receive a more useful and valuable clerkship-type of experience in a hospital back home than the training they receive in limited Guadalajara facilities. There are emotionally-laden pro and cons for the EIGHTH SEMESTER Program. At U/B the Clinical Council has approved both ECFMG and FIFTH PATHWAY programs to be used in lieu of a foreign internship. There is no EIGHTH SEMESTER Program in Buffalo. ') A project team from the School of Architecture and Environmental Design won a national architectural research award for development of a system for ambulatory patient care. The award was given by the magazine, Progressive Architecture. The award-winning research project undertaken for the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program, was headed by Gunter Schmitz and Scott Danford, professors in the School of Architecture and Environmental Design. Working with them were campus associates and medical administrative and planning professionals at the Buffalo General Hospital. The award also cited Architecture and Environmental Design Dean Harold L. Cohen and Lawrence Zimmerman, project coordinator. Utilizing the out-patient department of the Buffalo General Hospital as a test case study, the team developed a program under which teams of observers with tape recorders observe the routines of hospital doctors and other members of the medical staff, seek data about patients as to the average length of stay in the hospital, type of sickness and injury, treatment, sex, age, and identify bottlenecks in terms of hospital administrative procedure and building design. Ultimately, the information obtained is fed into a computer which prints out optimum floor plans to best satisfy the needs of doctors, nurses, patients and staff. Such a system might indicate that the hospital involved needs new administrative procedures rather than a new building, Dean Cohen explained. "We're not interested in building a building. We're interested in solving a problem." Dean Cohen believes an architect should be more than a designer of buildings. "We believe in basing a design on the needs of people." 0 SUMMER, 1975 41 BUFFALO PROGRAMS At Buffalo the School of Medicine sponsors both ECFMG and Fifth Pathway programs.

Drs. Richard Bettigole and Ronald A. Rohe who direct the division that includes blood bank and hematology laboratories hope these services will lead to better diagnosis and care. To handle the heavy load of services to patients at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital, its satellite clinics in the community as well as those run by the Erie County Health Departments, 39 full-time plus 26 part-time personnel provide round-theclock laboratory coverage. Coordinating division activities is Rita Rose Palmer.

Reginald Lambert and Kathryn Zelenski (both are on the microbiology department faculty). d- SUMMER, 1975 43 �- Doing blood differentials are Kathy Powalski and Nancy Dispenzsa, medical technologists. Rita Dykstra, medical technologist, does platelet counts. Working on crossmatching of blood for transfusions are Jackie Stanfield, medical technology student; Leah Steinberg, laboratory technologist; and Sue Full, medical technology student. A variety of services are offered in the hematology laboratories, which also act as a reference laboratory for State quality control programs. They range from the routine to the unusual, notes Dr. Bettigole, who is an associate professor of medicine at U/B. In the routine hematology section, there are complete blood counts, differentials, platelet and reticulocyte counts, etc. underway while a number of special hematology tests are done in the residents laboratory. Here there are also tests for red cell osmotic fragility to rule out hereditary spherocytosis and leukocyte alkaline phosphatase for patients who may have chronic myelocytic leukemia. And there are screening tests for glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency as well as smearing, staining, and interpreting of bone marrow aspirates. Among tests performed in the coagulation section are routine partial thromboplastin times, prothrombin times, fibrinogen levels, etc. as well as tests for platelet function, fibrin-fibrinogen degradation products, and factor assays for patients with bleeding disorders or what appears to be a hypercoagulable state. The demand for serum vitamin B12 and folic acid level determinations is heavy. These are done in the nutrition laboratory and help in the evaluation of macrocytic anemias. Here there is also development of a procedure for measuring levels THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �of vitamin B. (pyridoxine) in serum which "appears to be important in some patients with refractory anemia," says Or. Bettigole. In the hemoglobin laboratory there are tests for serum haptoglobulins, hemoglobin and Gr-6-Pd variants that are studied by electrophoresis. Residents in internal medicine and clinical pathology, hematology fellows, and senior medical students also learn about clinical problems of patients with hematologic disorders. Said Or. Bettigole, "we acquaint them with laboratory procedures that are needed to diagnose and treat these patients." Also learning about hematology and blood bank procedures are medical technology students. Sharing their expertise in hematology are Drs. Robert Cotsen, Rose Ruth Ellison,Kamal Tourbaf, and others.

Dr. Bettigole and research instructor Elean Robson are taking an especially close look at fibrinogen metabolism for diagnosis and therapy of those with intravascular coagulation syndrome. And in cooperation with Or. Julian Ambrus of Roswell Park Memorial Institute they are studying patients with cancer, while Or. Rohe is trying to develop methods to diagnose and treat those patients with abnormal hemoglobins or thalassemia syndromes. d- SUMMER, 1975 �Jeanne Seybold, senior medical technologist, does routine and special coag ulation tests. " We find the division a fascinating and exciting area of medicine and laboratory technology in which to work, " notes Dr. Bettigole. So do many students and house-staff who continue to sign up for electives in hematology. 46 Dr. Bettigole received his medical degree from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, interned at Bellevue Hospital and was a resident in medicine and hematology at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center. He held appointments at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Cornell Medical College before coming to Buffalo and served for two years with the U.S. Navy . He is on the board of directors of the Blood Banks Association of New York State, is vice chairman of the Western New York Regional Blood Program's medical/ scientific advisory committee, and chairman of the Buffalo Chapter, American Red Cross' Committee on Platelets and Leukocytes. The hematologist is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and a member of the Harvey Society. Dr. Rohe received a medical degree from Syracuse University, interned and completed a residency in medicine at Buffalo General Hospital, and served for two years with the U.S. Navy. He returned to Buffalo as a Fellow in Hematology and worked with Dr. Helen Ranney who now heads the department of medicine at University of California (San Diego).o THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Emeritus Professor Dr. David K. Miller was granted professor emeritus status by the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York in March. Dr. Miller, who served both the Medical School and the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital for more than 34 years , retired in 1971. The outstanding teacher , scholar and clinician was professor of medicine and associate director of medicine at the Meyer Hospital when he retired. Dr. Miller received a bachelor's degree from Illinois Wesleyan College in Bloomington in 1925 followed by a medical degree from Harvard University in 1929. After completing an internship at Boston City Hospital he studied in both Germany and Austria. From 1931 to 1937 he was assistant in medicine and assistant resident physician at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research before coming to Buffalo as instructor in medicine. Two years later he became director of medicine and head of the department of medicine at E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital (1939-1967) as well as professor of medicine at the University. From 1937 to 1948 he directed the laboratories at Meyer Hospital. In July, 1967 Dr. Miller asked that he be relieved of his hospital duties . A Fellow in the American College of Physicians, a member of county , state, and national medical societies as well as the Buffalo Academy of Medicine, American Society of Clinical Investigation, Society of Experimental Biology and Medicine, and the Harvey Society, he has also written numerous articles on anemia, blood and bone marrow. The 71year-old physician was the recipient of a special plaque at the annual 1969 Stockton Kimball Luncheon for " contributions as outstanding teacher, scholar and clinician. " 0 SUMMER, 1975 47 Or. Miller �Honorary Medical Degrees by Oliver P. ]ones, Ph.D ., M .D. Distinguished Professor On 25 February 1879 The University of Buffalo conferred an honorary degree of Doctor of Medicine for the last time. It was bestowed upon Professor Charles Avery Doremus, Ph.D. When Julian Park wrote his history of The University of Buffalo in 1917, he only knew of ten honorary degrees in medicine because the first Minute Book of the University Council, containing the records from 1846 to 1855, had been lost. Professor Oscar A. Silverman, then Director of Libraries , recognized the Minute Book of the Medical Faculty (3 October 1846 to 30 March 1878) in the library collection of Rev. John C. Lord . He called Chancellor Furnas' attention to the fact that Miss Grace Rumsey Smith, former member of the University Council, had obtained the Lord Collection from Dr. Charles Cary, whose wife was Evelyn Rumsey . Miss Smith gave the Lord collection to the Lockwood Library of the University of Buffalo. It is understandable why Or. Cary, who graduated from the University of Buffalo in 1875 , should have had the Minute Book, because he succeeded Professor George Hadley in 1878 as Registrar of the Medical Faculty. Apparently some of Dr. Cary's books were also included in the Lord collection. Shonnie Finnegan, Archivist, made it possible for me to read and analyze this Minute Book. The first entry about honorary degrees in the Minute Book was on 16 June 1847 ... Dr. Hamilton proposed the name of Phineas Burdick upon recommendation of Dr. (Miles) Goodyear, curator (Cortland County), for the honorary degree of M .D . at a future time .. . . The second entry was on 13 June 1848, the last half of which is copied here The following gentlemen were recommended by the Curators and the Faculty to the Council for the honorary degree of Doctor of Medicine : Gustavus A . Rogers (Bath , Steuben County), Jeremiah L. Knight and Jenks S. Sprague. Drs. (W.H.) Reynale, (Owen) Munson and (M .B.) Bellows were appointed a committee to examine the claims of Israel Chissom, Italy Hill (Yates Co.) for an honorary degree and report at the next annual meeting. Drs. (E.H .) Porter, (George) Hadley and (Miles) Goodyear were appointed a committee to examine the claims of Phineas Burdick for an honorary degree and report at the next annual meeting. Adjourned - Sine die Austin Flint, Registrar. The following day commencement exercises were held at the Washington Street Baptist Church and the first honorary degrees of Doctor of Medicine were conferred on Gustavus A. Rogers , Jeremiah S. Knight and Jenks S. Sprague as recommended by the Curators and Faculty. Their names are listed in the Annual Announcement for 1848 . Dr. Rogers , Curator from Steuben County, already had an M .D. degree, whereas Knight and Sprague were very likely apprentice physicians who were recommended by the Curators from their respective counties - Oneida and Otsego. The other cases are interesting because they represent two different approaches to the glory of an honorary medical degree. Burdick had a curator present his claims to the curators and faculty , who in turn had them examined by a committee. Chissom also had a curator intercede for 48 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �him (Fig. 1), but for some unknown reason , the curator from Yates County had a medical student contact the faculty and other curators . The latter case is very interesting because, although P.K. Stoddard did not graduate until 14 June 1848, he recommended Chissom for an honorary degree the day before (Fig . 2). The title of Stoddard' s thesis was " The Medical Profession ." He may have written that public estimation of the medical profession was at a new low, not because of a lack of confidence in individual members of the profession but a want of confidence in the profession as such. He may have pointed out that in New York City there were at least fourteen different kinds of doctors . The Minute Book does not mention Burdick again, but the entry of 17 April1849 states ... Dr. Flint and (Erastus) Wallis were appointed to a committee to examine the claims and credentials of Dr. Chissom of Italy Hill, as a candidate for the honorary degree of Doctor of Medicine .. .. Although this is the last reference to Chissom in the Minute Book, Shonnie Finnegan, University Archivist, uncovered four letters and some notes from Stoddard to Dean Hamilton between 15 January to 26 February 1849. It was presumptuous on Stoddard's part to ask the Dean to have Dr. Voorheis bring the missing numbers of the Buffalo Medical Journal to him in Prattsburgh. He concluded this letter , " I would still urge the claims of Dr. Chissom to have an honorary degree . Pleae give him a hearing and oblige. " Over three weeks had elapsed when he wrote the following : Prattsburgh , Feb . 8, 1849 Prof. Hamilton Dear Sir: Not hearing from you through Dr. Voorheis as I expected , I am again induced to address you , begging pardon for this second intrusion upon your time and notice. If it is not too much trouble I wish you would write me, stating the terms upon which the Journal may be obtained , also whether all the back Nos. can be furnished and the terms . Dr. Voorheis joins me in recommending to your favorable notice, Dr. Chissom of Italy Hill as a suitable candidate for an honorary degree. I spoke to you of him last spring and gave you a letter from Dr. Oliver of Penn Yan setting forth his character and standing in the profession . Any required number of such papers can be obtained from members of the profession in his own and adjoining counties. He is able and will reward you for any trouble or expense you may incur in the prosecution of this enterprise. Write soon and state what more will be necessary on our part to secure for him a degree and it shall be done if possible in time. Yours with respect, P.K. Stoddard A.D. Voorheis d-SUMMER , 1975 49 �Apparently Dean Hamilton answered this letter because Stoddard replied as follows: Prattsburgh, Feb. 17, 1849 Prof. Hamilton Dear Sir: In answer to your inquiries with reference to Dr. Chissom I reply. Dr. Israel Chissom is 45 years of age and has required a good English literary and medical education. Though his professional life has not been one replete with striking incidents he has ever distinguished himself as a close and accurate observer of diseases in general and in one instance he diagnosed a case of pregnancy and maintained his position in opposition to the opinion of Dr. (Menzo) White of Cherry Valley (Otsego Co.) and other distinguished medical gentlemen. The result proved the correctness of his position and confirmed the solidity of his reasoning. He was licensed to practice in Medicine and Surgery by the Yates County Medical Society in August 1826, has since been and is still a practicing physician and I believe a member of the society. He is quite an eccentric character, but his moral and intellectual qualities are not questioned by those who are not acquainted with him and are endowed with sufficient capacity to judge of his merits. Yours, etc. , P.K. Stoddard On the back of this letter there is a note from Dr. A.D. Voorheis concurring with the above statements, another one signed by five physicians and a note from Stoddard saying: The above names are of some of the most respectable physicians of Yates County in which Dr. Chissom resides, his P.O. address is Italy Hill, Yates County, as is that of the Doubeldays and Wixson, the Olivers live in Penn Yan. I am not prepared to send for the Journal at this time. P.K. Stoddard The last letter of recommendation written on 26 February 1S49, came from the President of Yates County Medical Society. In spite of all this pressure on the faculty and curators, there is no evidence that Chissom ever received his much sought after honorary degree. In other words, Kemp's Law also worked in those days, namely," An applicant's acceptability is inversely proportional to the amount of pressure brought to bear on the Admissions Committee." Even without this law, some of Stoddard's letters to the Dean were presumptuous and patronizing, to say nothing about the hint of a bribe, which, in themselves, would be enough to squash the recommendations. Is it not strange that the only correspondence preserved in the Dean' s office for over one hundred twenty-five years, should be that connected with an unsuccessful attempt to obtain an honorary degree? 50 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The faculty was so preoccupied with answering charges leveled at them in anonymous letters to the press in February 1850 about Dr. White's demonstrative midwifery, that they forgot to record that twenty-seven candidates had satisfactorily passed their examinations before the Faculty and Curators. Although Austin Flint was dean at that time, he had to rely upon the Commercial Advertiser, 28 February 1850, for an account of the annual commencement for his editorial in the Buffalo Medical Journal. From this we learn " The Honorary degree of M.D . was conferred upon Samuel Carey of this city. " Two years later the Minute Book has the following entry for 19 February 1852... The Registrar was directed to notify Harvey Jewett of Allen 's Hill (Ontario County) New York that the honorary degree of M .D . was conferred on him during the session 1849-50 and to applogize for the facts not having been communicated before .. . Hence, by 1850, the University of Buffalo had granted five honorary medical degress . A year later they gave one to Aaron B. Bly of Sauquoit, Oneida County, and in 1852, Charles W . Wilcox , Buffalo and Walter Eliot Lauderdale, Geneseo , New York each received one. Prior to 13 March 1852, recipients of honorary degrees were notified either by a letter from the Registrar, by an article in the local newspaper or in the Buffalo Medical Journal. However, Harvey Jewett was not informed by any method. At the faculty meeting on the above date, it was " Moved by Dr. Flint, seconded by Dr. Hamilton, that the Dean be authorized to procure proper certificates, duly attested on parchment, to be forwarded to those receiving the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Medicine. Carried .. . " No copies of these certificates have come down to us . The Minute Book entry for 27 April 1853 states . . . On motion of Dr. Wallis (curator from Erie Co.), seconded by Dr. Hart (curator from Oswego Co.), Dr. Comfort Hamilton of Erie, Pennsylvania was recommended for the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Medicine. The entry for 22 February 1854 states ... The honorary degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred upon the Hon. Daniel P. Bissell of Utica .. . A subsequent article in the Buffalo Medical Journal reiterated this. But the account in the Commercial Advertiser stated erroneously that an honorary degree had been conferred upon Dr. Henry Russell of Utica! The " Hon. " was prefixed to Bissell's name because he had been appointed Canal Commissioner by the Legislature and was Manager of the State Hospital. Dr. Bissell had previously graduated from Yale Medical College in 1826 so that the added degree was conferred in recognition of the positions of honor and trust which he had conscientiously discharged. Hence, from 1848 to 1854 the University of Buffalo had granted ten honorary degrees of Doctor of Medicine which heretofore had not been reported. Now then , from 1855 on it has been possible to cross check the Minute Books of the University Council and Medical Faculty with editorials in the Buffalo Medical Journal and Commercial Advertiser. In so doing , three more unreported honorary degrees have been discovered which escaped Julian Park's attention. As will be seen, one case was not in the typescript of the Council Minutes. In 1855, Dr. Cornelius Failing, Reynolds Basin, Niagara County was given an honorary degree and a year later, Dr. J. Marion Sims, New York City and Dr. James D. Trask, White Plains each received one. dSUMMER , 1975 51 Or. Wallace W. McGrory, a renowned authority on kidney disease, spent a week as visiting lecturer in the department of pediatrics. From the professor and chairman of pediatrics at the New York Hospital and Cornell Medical Center, students, housestaff, and area physicians learned about patient problems as well as some very exciting and provocative concepts in patient management. A rekindling of interest in the kidney seemed to be the general consensus at the conclusion of the visit. 0 �Until this time there was no inkling about the qualifications for an honorary degree. The Hon. George W. Clinton, President of the Board of Trustees had this to say (Those) who received honorary degrees as marks of the eminent appreciation in which they were held by the Council and Trustees for services rendered to humanity. An honorary degree thus granted , without the knowledge or solicitation of the recipients , was a testimonial to their merit, which , though not needed by these distinguished gentlemen, would not be unvalued .... There is no doubt that both of these men truly deserved to be honored because of the prestige they enjoyed as physicians - Sims for his treatment of vesicovaginal fistula and Trask for his prize essay on placenta previa . Dr. White was undoubtedly the most influential member of the faculty because for many years he was also member elect to the University Council from the Medical Faculty. Therefore, he could reasonably assume that his recommendations of outstanding practitioners in his specialty would be granted an honorary degree . At a later date, the University might have given them a degree which they did not already possess, such as Doctor of Science or Doctor of Laws . The two physicians were recommended for honorary degrees in 1860 - Dr. Frank Newburn of Drummondsville, C.W . (Quebec) and Dr. Richard Charles of Angelica, N .Y. For some unexplained reason the Council did not grant Charles his degree until a year later. We know nothing about Charles but we know Newburn was the preceptor for Dr. Robert H . Dee who graduated in 1852. Honorary degrees were granted to Dr. Eber Smith Carlisle, Plessis, Jefferson County in 1864, Dr. George Swinburn, Rochester in 1866, and Dr. Theodore Evans, Paris, France in 1868. There is nothing in the minutes of the Faculty and Council and newspapers to indicate the qualifications of these degree recipients. Dr. Theodore Evans may have been an acquaintance Dr. White made during his visit to Paris in the winter of 1866. Unfortunately, White did not mention Evans in his letters to the Buffalo Medical Journal. At the Faculty meeting held 18 February 1870, the Minute Book states, "Dr. Ross ' application for this degree (M .D.) was laid on the table, and the dean instructed to write that not being known personally to the Faculty his application is for the present deferred. " This is the last we hear about Ross. Two honorary degrees were granted in 1871, namely , to Dr. Edward Smith, Lewiston, and Dr. George Mann , Newfane. But " The application for honorary degree from Dr. G. G. Brush of Sheaklyville, Pa. (Mercer County) was referred to the Curator from Pennsylvania, namely, Dr. Lawrence Bennett, to be reported on next year. " He was not mentioned again. According to the Buffalo Medical Journal and the Commercial Advertiser, forty-five regular medical students were graduated on 23 February 1875 and W . McCollum of Lockport received an honorary degree of Doctor of Medicine. For some unexplained reason neither the Minute Book of the medical faculty nor the typescript of the Council minutes mentions McCollum. Both editorial accounts of the commencement exercises definitely state that he did receive such a degree . The following year (1876) , the typescript of the Council minutes mentions that Or. H. D . Vosburgh , Lyons , New York, was granted an honorary degree. The Minute Book does not mention it but the Buffalo Medical Journal does. Perhaps this discrepancy was due to Secretary Hadley's 52 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �poor health because, following the entry for 7 february 1876, this statement appears The minutes which follow were copied after Professor Hadley's death, the notes made at the meetings but which he had been unable to copy in this book. This was done at the request of the dean by E.V.S. (Stoddart), April 18, 1878. The most noticeable error of omission is that it was not recorded the faculty ever met to examine the candidates in the class of 1876 and recommend them to the Curators. This also happened in 1850. On 25 february 1879, by vote of the University Council, the honorary degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred upon Professor Charles A. Doremus, Ph.D., who had joined the medical faculty, not as a practicing physician but as a Professor of Chemistry. This was the last honorary medical degree granted by the University of Buffalo and it was the first appointment of a non-medical professor to its faculty. No mention of this honorary degree is in the Minute Book of the Medical faculty very likely because it was considered presumptuous to recommend one of their own for such an honor. The Council could by its own volition, or with a little suggestion, award the degree. Hence, it is so recorded in their minutes and reported in the Buffalo Medical Journal. According to all available information in local newspapers, the Buffalo Medical Journal and the minutes of the Medical faculty and University Council, twenty-three honorary Doctor of Medicine degrees The new Center for Immunology headquarters. Secretary Shari Wilson goes over some of her day's tasks with Center director Dr. ]ames F. Mohn.

Of these, three were granted to physicians not residing in New York State - Pennsylvania, Canada and France. During this same period at least four physicians applied unsuccessfully for such an honor. The doctorate was conferred in other fields two and a half centuries before it was awarded in medicine. There was a definite distinction in the colonies between physicians who were permitted to practice because of the completed apprenticeship and those who had graduated at a regular medical school, because they were entitled to write M.D . after their name. The latter were permitted to charge higher fees. In those days, a General Assembly or State Legislature could license physicians and even confer medical degrees .

New York State Education Law, Art. Vlll, Sect. 355, para. 2 f. At the battle of Buena Vista (1847), Gen. Zachary Taylor is reported to have said that he would not leave his sick and wounded behind him. The President of the New York State Medical Society wanted to recommend Gen. Taylor to the Regents of the University for an honorary degree of M.D. However, Dr. Frank H. Hamilton, our first dean, offered some resolutions, expressing the sentiments of the Society, as a substitute for the diploma which were recorded and transmitted to the General. Why did the University of Buffalo stop conferring honorary Doctor of Medicine degrees in 1879? Was it a local decision, or a prohibition by some national body? In 1877 the American Medical College Association (A.M.C.A.) ruled: ARTICLE IV. OF HONORARY DEGREES. An honorary degree of "Doctor of Medicine" may be granted in numbers not exceeding one yearly, to distinguished physicians or scientific men of over forty years of age. But in such case the diploma shall bear across its face the word "Honorary" in conspicuous characters, and the same word shall always be appended to the name of the recipient in all lists of graduates. Part of the entry in the Minute Book for 12 April1877 states, "The dean was authorized to give certificates of election to two members of the Faculty as delegates of the American Medical Association in Chicago and also to the meeting of Associated Medical Colleges (sic) June next. Also to two delegates to meeting of the State Medical Society at Albany." As to whether the credentials of the delegates were ever used we do not know because there is no other entry in the minutes and there is no record that the University of Buffalo was a member of the A.M.C.A. at that time. A year after the University of Buffalo granted the last honorary Doctor of Medicine degree, the Association (A.M.C.A.) reported at its meeting in 1880 that it "has greatly diminished the number of diplomas that are bestowed without thorough study and examination." The University of Buffalo was among the first to abolish this practice because in 1881 only six schools reported conferring the honorary M.D. Today, the State University of New York is prohibited by statute from granting any honorary degrees. " 56 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Rare Books Discovered A first edition of Thomas Addison's monograph on what is now termed " Addison 's disease" titled : On the constitutional and local effects of disease of the supra-renal capsules, was identified while cataloging by Mrs. Mildred Hallowitz, associate librarian in charge of the History of Medicine Collection. This volume, published by Samuel Highley in London, 1855, is valued for the association of the donation and for its research value, as well as for its monetary value (which seems to be high). The donor was Dr. George W . Thorn, a former student of Dr. Frank Hartman, professor of physiology at the Medical School. At the time of the donation (1964) , Dr. Thorn was Hersey Professor of Theory and Practice of Physic and Physician-in-Chief of the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital (Harvard University). Dr. Thorn felt it was only fitting to give this valuable monograph to the University after he had received it from a grateful patient, who had recovered from the disease. " The History of Medicine Collection has other such interesting materials, which are now being cataloged and which we hope to make accessible to the community for research purposes," Mrs. Hallowitz said. The collection contains approximately 7,250 volumes of primarily 18th and 19th Century imprints. Many notable individuals have donated their personal collections to the University Library, e.g ., Drs. Roswell Park, James Platt White, Charles Stockton, George N . Burwell, Austin Flint, etc. " This collection affords great interest for research not only in the medical sciences, but to sociological and historical researchers as well. For example, we have had graduate students doing research on the 19th Century medical profession's attitude toward women . They found a wealth of primary source materials in our collection. " We would like to encourage the use of the collection. We also would like to suggest that any individual who is contemplating discarding his personal collection should consider donating the volumes to the History of Medicine Collection," Mrs. Hallowitz said. O SUMMER , 1975 57 �Third year medical student Marcellene Doctor at the pediatric clinic at the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation. Student Homecoming V isiting the pediatric clinic at the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation at Gowanda was like going home for Miss Marcellene Doctor, a third year medical student. The clinic is located in the same building where Marcellene attended elementary school in the 1950's. For two other third year medical students, Betty Gidney and Gene Schwartz, it was an opportunity to observe a pediatric clinic in action in a reservation setting. Dr. Gerald Daigler, a 1968 Medical School graduate, drives from his Springville office to the clinic every Thursday. He is a clinical instructor in pediatrics at the Medical School. Since 1972 Dr. Henry Staub, associate professor of pediatrics and director of pediatrics at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital, has been involved with the health care of children on the reservation. Several medical students have had summer fellowships and worked with Dr. Staub on the reservation. Marcellene received her bachelor of science degree in medical technology in 1970 from Long Island University. She hopes to make a major contribution to the health care of her people in the years ahead. O THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Daigler examines a patient while Marcellene Doctor (left) observes.

SUMMER, 1975 59 �Dr. Daigler, Marcellene Doctor, Dr. Staub 60 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �It is business as usual for the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program. But sometime in the near future (probably early in 1976) the LARMP will be combined with the Comprehensive Health Planning Agency and be known as Health System Agencies. This became a reality when President Gerald Ford signed the National Health Planning and Resources Development Act of 1974. " Basically the bill will eliminate the CHP and RMP agencies, but not their function ," Dr. John R.F . Ingall, said. He is director of the Buffalo based LARMP and chairman of the National Association of Regional Medical Programs. In assessing the potential impact the new legislation will have on Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania, Dr. Ingall expressed hope that the best functions of both RMP and CHP can be preserved and a new agency, separate and distinct from existing agencies, will be created to meet the many challenges as specified in the law. The current LARMP projects are: the Telephone Lecture Network, Allegany County Mobile Health Unit, Lakes Area Regional Tumor Service Registry, Rural Externship Program, Emergency Medical Services Project, Regional Hypertension Program, Rural Laboratory Improvement Project, Two-County Nutrition Project (Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties), Health Related Facilities Staff and Training, and Household Survey of the Elderly. Also, the Ambulatory Care Services Planning Model, Regionwide Medical Genetics, the Aging Relocation Survey, Rehabilitation for Aphasia Patients, Primary Care Nurse Practitioners Program, and the Domiciliary Staff-in-Service Training Program. O Rural Extern Program Approximately 50 health sciences students will participate in the fifth annual Rural Extern Program that begins June 16. The studen ts will be assigned to preceptors in the rural communities of Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania. In 1974, 57 students participated in the program; in 1973, 55; in 1972, 35; in 1971, 22 . In the past students from the other health professions participated. The eight-week assignment will allow students to get first hand experience in living and working in rural areas where health man power is usually scarce. It is hoped that some of these students will want to practice in these areas after graduation. Each student receives a weekly stipend and will work directly with a physician in one of the rural communities. Mr. William Crage will direct the project for the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program that provides the funds .O SUMMER, 1975 61 16 LARMP Projects �Eight Continuing Education Programs Eight Continuing Medical Education Programs are scheduled for May and June, according to Mr. Charles Hall, director of the programs.

He had been on the Medical School faculty since 194l. C Dr. Herbert L. Traenkle, M'32, died March 1 in his home in Lake Park, Florida. The 70-year-old Buffalo dermatologist retired in March 1974. He served his residencies at the Buffalo General and E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospitals. He had been on the staff of Buffalo General since 1938. Dr. Traenkle served in the Army Medical Corps during World War II. He was a member of the American Academy of Dermatology and Syphilology. 0 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Abraham H . Aaron, M 'l2, died February 24 in his Buffalo home. The " elder statesman" of Buffalo medicine and internationally-respected gastroenterologist was 85 years old. He had practiced in Buffalo for 63 years (1918 until Jan. 1/ 75). Dr. Aaron had achieved distinction as a skilled practitioner, a gifted teacher, a professional leader and an editor of the foremost journal in his field of specialization, Gastroenterology. Known as " Uncle Abe" to generations of UB medical students, he was a clinical professor of medicine emeritus . He served on the faculty for 38 years. In 1951 the University cited him as an outstanding teacher. In 1958 the American Gastroenterological Association presented Dr. Aaron its highest honor, the Julius Friedenwald Medal, " for outstanding achievement in gastroenterology. " Dr. Aaron had served as treasurer of the association in 1926-33 and president in 1944-45. He was a founder of the post graduate medicine department in 1921 and headed it from 1925-49. During those years he brought area hospitals into a program aimed at bringing new techniques of diagnosis and treatment to practicing physicians . The value of such postgraduate work is now widely recognized and in 1963 the AMA inaugurated a program in the field. In March 1971, 10 of this country's most distinguished " elder statesmen" of medicine came to Buffalo to honor Dr. Aaron on the 50th anniversary of UB's continuing medical education program. He was an assistant attending physician at the Buffalo General Hospital from 1918-44, and attending physician and rotating chief of medicine until 1956, when he became attending physician emeritus. He was president of the staff in 1948. The Dr. A .H. Aaron Library was dedicated in his honor at the Buffalo General Hospital in 1969. In 1958 The Buffalo Evening News named him an " outstanding citizen" because he had a strong sense of responsibility to his profession and his community. He was a past president of the Erie County Medical Society, the Buffalo Academy of Medicine and the Medical Alumni Association. He served as vice president of the State Medical Society and chairman of several committees . He was a former delegate to the AMA and also chaired several committees. From 1940 to 1950 he was chief examiner for the National Board of Medical Examiners in Western New York. Dr. Aaron was a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine and a member of the sub-specialty board of gastroenterology which he headed from 1946 to 1951. He was the author or co-author of more than 50 medical papers. He was the first to report on the liver-function dye test in 1921 and the first to describe the use of cortin to treat patients with Addison ' s Disease. Dr. Aaron was a strong believer in the importance of the practitioner in the over-all medical teaching program. He was instrumental in setting up a program at the Buffalo General Hospital whereby resident physicians and interns could participate in the care of private patients under the over-all direction of their attending physicians. He had served as president of the Tuberculosis and Health Association of Buffalo and Erie County since 1959, and was responsible for introducing several of its programs to combat chest disease . Earlier he had served as a director of the association and its first vice president. Dr. Aaron will probably be best remembered for his humanity- by the patients who warmed to his gentleness and his genuine interest in them as individuals; by the physicians he taught (especially the 20 he took into his own office over the years to " give them a start"); and by hundreds of others who never knew him well but profited by the example he set, the programs he introduced, and his conception of the practice of medicine.

Inc. Many of those alumni who ma} have forgotten to contribute to their school over a period of years were contacted. The event must be rated a "success" if for no other re.tson. a congenial group composed of individuals of dh erse backgrounds joined together for a common purpose. As might have been expected we communicated with a large number of alumni who were desirous to participate in alumni and Medical School acti\'ities. This method of communication and fund raising provided insights that we all too often lose sight of. For instance, many of the alumni were from classes as far back as 1933. Some of them are now retired and live on fixed incomes, and among their number, some are beginning to suffer from the ravages of chronic illness. cilh~r directly or with a relative. It is apparent that these physicians represent individuals for ,,·hom we need to develop relationships which flow from us to them rather than from them to us. And. of course. there was a small number of alumni who had either overcommitted resources to other causes of greater importance to them or who just do not see an existing relationship between their professional lives and their origin as ph~ sicians '' ithin the School of Medicine. As has been the situation with other U.B. Foundation efforts. the staff did a commendable and highly professional job. In looking over their efforts on our behalf 1 have found that the Foundation has generated and administered the following for the School of Medicine in recent years: Activity From the desk of John P. )Jaughton, M.D. Dean, School of Medicine Funds Generated l.

"If you don't like people and aren't interested in their problems you should not be entering medical school." Dr. Rayhill noted that he was nervous. "It is not easy for us in 'middle age' to face the reality forced upon us by our colleagues in neuroanatom) that millions of our brain cells have ceased to function. As your preceptor il is not easy for me to face a class of incessantly questioning young. highly intelligent minds with many more functioning neurons and sharp synapses.

Dr Edward Carr. professor and chairman of pharmacology and therapeutics. moderated the conference that featured nine faculty members. one student and a minister. Dr. Rose Ruth Elhson. professor of medicine, presented a cancer patient, outlined briefly her medical history, and then asked for questions from the students. The patient. a 36-year-old nurse, had three operations in the last 13 months. In spite of chemotherapy, she said she "had lived a normal life the last four months." The patient told the students "to forget the statistics. Believe only what you see and what the patient tells you. If you follow through. this will make diagnosis easier. Patients need competence and compassion from physicians and I have received both. "1 don't fear death. But I don't want to be separated from my husband and two children. My husband is an optimist, I am a realist. I believe a patient has a right to know about cancer." After the patient was d1smissed, several faculty members discussed the case with the students Normal anatom~ and lymphatics \\as presented in an illustrated talk b~ Dr. Vija)a Shankar. assistant professor of anatomy.

"Every woman between the age of 40 and 45 should have a mammogram. because this is an accurate means of detecting unsuspected cancer of the breast. A mammogram should be taken in high risk patients or when a patient has a questionable mass.·· Dr. Alexander Brownie, professor and chairman of biochemistry, talked about estrogen receptors. "I have been studying breast cancer for 20 years and there have been many changes. There will be many more changes in your lifetime." The characteristics of the breast was discussed by Dr. Gerard Burns, professor of surgery. "A lump on the breast doesn't necessarily mean cancer The five year survival rate of untreated breast cancer is 15 or 20 percent; for radical mastectom). 63 percent."

You as medical students must come to grips with your own death before you advise dying patients."D \'\'£1\JTER. 1977 i Dr. Robert Patterson �Clinical Preceptorship Program The four-year clinical preceptorship program is in its second year. Another 47 new physician preceptors have been ass•gned to the 135 new students. who will graduate in 1961. The students will ha\'e personal guidance during the next four years. They \'\·ere matched with their preceptors according to their interests and goals. No faculty member will have more than eight students. according to Dr. Robert J. Patterson, clinical associate professor of gynecology-obstetrics, who coordinates the program for the second consecutive year. Dr. Patterson welcomed the new preceptors and students at the luncheon. "This should be a fun experience for everyone- no tests. and no fixed curriculum. We want the students to have a broad exposure to clinical medicine. The results during the next four years will onl> be as good as the people involved - both preceptors and preceptees." The 44 preceptors, who were assigned to last year's entering class. will continue advising the students assigned to them. ''Both students and preceptors were pleased with the close relationships that developed between the two groups during the first year. This is why we are expanding the program to cover the new students," Dr. Patterson saia. The first meeting between student and preceptor was during orientation in August. At this meeting the preceptor introduced the student to clinical medicine. The preceptors met with their students at least twice during September and monthly during the academic year. These two-hour student-preceptor meetings are in a clinical environment. "An effort will be made to expose the student to real problems in health care, psychological and sociological perspectives of medical problems and economic issues. The meetings during the first year will be most critic,tl." Dr. Patterson said. Vr.

Introduction In Article VI C 1 gave my answers to three of the six questions - the "five Ws and the H" - relating to communication between the physician and the cancer patient and the family. I d iscussed Why. When and Where. In the current article I continue with answers to Who. In the following articles, VI E and F I will discuss What and How respectively. Who? 15 34 In answering the question "Who?" we must consider both the giver and receiver of information and support. The first is the ph~sician - or those members of today's medical team whom he calls in for communicating in their special fields of expertise. The second is the family member or members who deserve. seek and need information and support. ***** If the family of an adult patient has a primary-care ph)sictan (family practitioner or internist), 1 feel that il is his responsibility to provide or arra nge for the principal communication with the family from the first complaint throughout the course of the disease. 10 THE BUFFALO PIIYSlClAN " �Even when specialists enter the picture. the primary-care physician should retain his relationship with the family. visiting the patient daily when he is in the hospital and continuing his visits, as needed. after the patient returns home. Unfortunately many families toda}, in all socioeconomic groups, have no primary-care physician. In such instances, the responsibility for the initial communication becomes that of the specialist who makes the diagnosis and carries out the indicated treatment. Usually this \.viii be a surgeon or a gynecologist. (The latter ma} act as a primary-care physician for his cancer patients and their families.) When the specialist has communicated his findings, results of treatment, recommendations for further therapy and follow-up examination, estimate of the outlook as he sees it, etc., he may suggest that the patient and family find a primary-care physician (a family practitioner or internist-medical oncologist) to provide continuing and over-all care. II the patient and famil> have no preference, he may make a referral or suggest that they call the County Medical Society for a list of names. In either instance. the specialist should go over the pertinent aspects of the patient and family situation with the new physician - in person. in writing or by telephone. (If the patient already has a primary-care physician who referred him to the specialist, the latter should. of course. keep him fully informed at all times.) But the fact that there is a primary-care ph)stcian doesn't free the specialist of all future responsibility for communicating with the patient and family. He should make it clear to them that he will continue to be available for follow-up examinations or consultations on problems in his field and that he will personally confer with the primary-care physician if referrals to other specialists are needed. When diagnosis, treatment and follow-up are given in a cancer institute. medical center, university or government hospital whether in outpatient clinic or inpatient service- communication may come chiefly from residents or fellows. Attending physicians - full-time or part-time - should, however, be available and accessible to the patient and the family. If there is a primary-care physician, he should always receive a full typed report promptly and should feel free to phone or come in to discuss the patient's condition. ***** In today's medical practice a physician does not have to do all of the communicating with patients and their families himself. There are others who can be helpful to certain patients and their families - perhaps more helpful than he can be. either because they are more readily available and accessible or have special knowledge and skills in patient-family education. counseling. service. psychologic and spiritual support. Among them are nurses (practitioners, educators. home visitors), admission and discharge co-ordinators, social \.\-Orkers, dietitians, clergymen, counselors (psychiatric, family), rehabilitation, prosthetic and vocational specialists, representatives of the American·cancer Society, patients, patients' relatives. et al. By using them wisely the physician can save his own time and effort and serve the patient and family better. cJ- WINTER, 1977 II t\t the liB School of c\ledicine in Classes 1973-1977, four students being to/lowed ond/ or treated for Hodgkin·s Disease were graduated os ph}·src1ons. three Jn the class of '73 and one Jn the Class of '77.

Yet some physicians look upon such ancillary personnel as interfering in the physician's domain. They resent their efforts to help. This is true even in large general hospitals or cancer centers which have organized departments or staffs in ancillary fields. One such oncologist heads a cancer service where some patients and families get little or no information, either in the hospital or upon discharge. about problems that lie ahead and how to cope with them. Yet when ancillary personnel. recognizing these needs. volunteer their services as communicators, the oncologist tells them: "That's my business. not yours. I'll tell the patient and famil)' what I want to tell them when I want to tell them and how I want to tell them." Even physicians who regularly turn to ancillary personnel when a patient or family is medically indigent or on welfare may not think of involving them in the care of private patients and their families. On the other hand, there are some physicians"' ho may see the existence of such personnel as an excuse to abrogate their own continuing responsibilities for communication. How do patients and their families feel about communication with ancillary personnel? They welcome it if they need and want information and support that their physicians cannot or will not give them. When being asked whom they would most like to have seen preoperatively, in addition to the physician, the largest number of 59 patients v.·ho had undergone laryngectomies for cancer and of 47 spouses voted for "another laryngectomee and spouse." Others whom they listed were esophageal speaker, speech pathologist, minister. counselor. artificial larynx speaker. tev' Voice Club member. American Cancer Society representative. Ancillary personnel can smooth the path almost ever} step of the way. In the section on "When?" in Article VIC l didn't stress communication on discharge from the hospital. but latet 1 overhead a conversation that indicated that here, too, ancillary personnel can play a ,·ery important role. Some patients go home with little more communication from their surgeon than "You can go home now- I'm through \\ilh you." Even !his rna\ come to them indirecth when a nurse enters and says. "The doctor has signed your discharge. You can go any time.'' The family may not even be present. In contrast to this. the discharge co-ordinator on the head and neck service of the cancer institute whom I overhead covered everything, answered all of the questions a 70-year-old man and his son '"'anted to knov•. It was a perfect job. I was as moved b) its perfection as I might have been by a Cezanne still-life or a Chopin :\octurne played by Rubinstein. Communication with ancillary personnel will not, of course, satisfy patients and families when it comes to information about the medical aspects and problems of their disease. 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN ... �Here they want to talk to the physician personally. And the anpersonnel with whom I have discussed the subject agree. Such personnel do not view themselves as entering a patinnlfamil~ slituation on their own. as replacing the physician. They consider themselves members of a medical team of which the physician remains the captain. They wish to be called in by him, to report to him. to consult with him. to be supervised by him. to have him answer the medical questions. They want to help- but they want and expect the physician always to remain in the picture. How long this co-operative attitude will continue I'm not sure on the basis of the hostility I hear expressed, especially by nurses. against physicians who do not communicate well or fail to seek assistance in communicating with patients and families. When u physician fails to come up to their expectations of a complete man - not just in scientific competence but also in his attitude and behavior as a person. in his communication and compassion they are disillusioned and bitter Certain leaders of the nursing professiOn are alread~ speaking of the nurse as an autonomous professional. (In fairness I must add thts. In preparation for\\ riling this article I interviewed the director and departmental heads of a metropolitan Visiting i\ursing Association which olfers comprehensive services. They told me that there are certain physicians who consistently initiate relations with and utilize services of the association for cancer patients and their ramilies in the most effective ways and with the highest cooperation.) cillar~ *'"*** The question of who in the patient's family should be the recipient of information is often answered by the patient himself. not always wisely. He may. of course, refuse permission for an~ such communication. If he does not, the obvious choice should be the person or persons who are closest in relationship and/or will be taking responsibility for the patient's continuing care and support. For most patients - but not all - that means the closest of kin - spouse, parents, son or daughter. brother or sister. It may, however. be a more distant relative - a nephew or niece - or a close friend. ln these days of free life styles, it rna~ be a "friend" who is living with the patient as a spouse. what we would once ha\'e referred to as a 'common-law \'\'ife or husband." In the case of a fellow patient of mine in the lymphomaleukemia clinic of the cancer institute, a bachelor physician in his 70s, it could have been a housekeeper of many years (until his death not long after c\iagnosis.J She brought him to the clinic by automobile for his periodic checkups, waited to drive him home, looked after him there, visited him \'\hen he was an in-patient.

" I-Ii~ courage was just amaz1ng " I know of a daughter caring for a 90-year-old father who called in all of her brothers and sisters from \"arious parts of the country. including one who was a retired physician. to help decide about a proposed treatment. The father was too confused and upset by the diagnosis to make the decision himself. and she didn't want to accept the responsibility on her own. In another instance, a wife and mother. facing the imminent death of her husband, asked the phystcian to talk to their two teenaged sons. The physician himself. sensing a special need, may suggest that he talk to the famil~ as a whole. Not all family members are able to cope. In some instances the physician may recognize at the onset or during the course of the disease that the responsible family member or members selected as recipients of his communication and as providers of care and support cannot face the knowledge of the facts and the practical problems involved. They may even want out of their responsibilities, though they hesitate to say so. This is not strange. Even certain physicians and nurses can't face looking after advanced-terminal cancer patients professionally, let alone those nearest and dearest. But it's more than a matter of mental and emotional adaptability. Age. physical strength, general health, background and experience. training and skills. available time and other factors may also play roles The v\'ife of an elderly patient, for example, may find it wellnigh impossible to get him from bed to a \<\heelchair, to handle a colostomy, to give hypodermic injections or even to read a thermometer. When this becomes obvious, the physician should explore with the patient and involved family member or members. the social worker or visiting nurse. whether there is anyone else who might lake over some or all of the care functions. Thereafter the communication about these functions would be between the ph~ sician and whoever is selected. The patient's failure to ask the physician to talk to the family or the family's failure to ask questions shouldn't be taken by the physician as an easy way out of an unpleasant. unwelcome duty. He has a legal. professional and moral responsibility to communicate with the family unless specifically requested not to do so. I believe that this is true even when the patient is a physician himself. A patient, whether a Ia~ person or physician. should not be expected to do all his own communicating with the famil~. ~or should a member of the family be left to tell the patient the diagnosis. or to communicate other crucial information about the course and progress of the disease. One final \'\Ord If the patient is a close relative of a physician who is not involved medically, it is on!~ professional courtesy, if the patient has no objection. to keep that physician informed of the diagnosis and course of the disease. This can be through face-to-face conversation. telephone or. if the physician lives at a distance. by leiter. ***** 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICJAN .. �.. In my own case, perhaps because I am a ph)'sician with some know-how in the field. perhaps because of the personalities involved, communication at the cancer institute has generall~ been excellent. :-vt} physicians have told me what I needed and \\anted to know. There has been no need to rei} on ancillary personnel for specific information. although lhey have been continuall> helpful in encouragement and support. My wife has shared fully in the communication. (I have taken it upon myself to keep m) brother and sister informed.) Although my wife does not accompany me on m} regular clinic visits. she has been present at ever) decision-making stage to hear what was being discussed. ask questions and contribute her own thoughts. She went with me on my first visit to the institute for history and physical examination. The nex t week, after closed staging. my medical oncologist and therapeutic radiologist told us, together, what they proposed to do, why, and the results to be expected. Later. when I developed. in succession, shmgles with rising fever, a type of Lhermitte's Syndome. acute abdominal pain (?bowel obstruction) and a critical level of pancytopenia. she as well as I participated in discussions of what was to be done. Before my recent splenectomy. my regular clinic oncologist. the head of the service and the surgeon ,.. ho \\as to operate jointly met us and told us what they planned to do and why. answered all of our questions. During my hospitalization they communicated their findings twice daily. At least one of those times my wife \\as present. \\'hen a urologic problem arose. my medical oncologist called my priv.lle urologist to discuss it with him. On the morning of my discharge. my surgeon. who was on his way out of town, came into my room and told me everything l wanted or needed to kno\1\. He discussed how things looked, what to expect, restrictions on activity. He wrote out a prescription and made an appointmen t, precise as to day and hour, for my postsurgical checkup- an appointment that the floor nurse confirmed in writing before I left. When 1 had to excuse myself to go to the bathroom because of "antibiotic diarrhea," the surgeon stayed on to answer my remaining questions through the closed door. On my checkup visit at the clinic a week later, the surgeon and my medical oncologist together talked frankly with my wife and me. answered our questions. assured us that we could call either of them at any hour of the daj or night if we were worried or if anything ontoward occurred.

Louis Sklarow award. This first annual award was given by the Buffalo Federation for Jewish Philanthropies to Or. Lanse as an "outstanding graduate." Dr. Lanse received his B.A. degree from Queens College in 1973 and was elected Phi Beta Kappa. He is currently continuing research work in genetics at the Children's Hospital and has also undertaken a new project involving geriatric medicine at the E.j. Meyer Memorial llospital. He is also doing postgraduate training in the Umversity program in internal medicine. The Annual Or. LOUIS Sklarow Award was set up by Dr. Sklarow who practiced medicine in Buffalo and Niagara Falls for thirteen years prior to his death in April. 1975. He came to Buffalo from Russia at the age of 10 and studied in Buffalo. After graduating from medical school in 1929 he interned at Meyer ~lemorial Hospital where he later became the Assistant Medical Superintendent. He was always interested in helping young people. After the government built a hospital at Iroquois. New York he practiced there among the Indian people. particularly with the Thomas indian School. He also carried on a private practice in Gowanda. New York. He later studied ophthalmology in Vienna. Austria. He was also affiliated with the Albany General Hospital and with the VA Hospital.O 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Summer Fellowships • Ninetee n medical studen ts participated in the annual summer fe llowsh ip program, according to Dr. Perry Hogan, associate p rofessor of physiology who is program chairman.

In Sepember Dr Small stepped down as chorrmon o( the department of psychiatry. o position he hod held SIOCe Hl51. INTRODUCTORY remarks before 750 people at the Sheraton Inn-Buffalo East, Dr. S. Mouchly Small. symposium chairman, said there are an estimated 22.4 million persons over 65 years of age in the United States. Each day more than 4,000 Americans reach the age of 65 and are classified as "the aged. " The great majority are subjected to mandatory retirement e\·cn though they feel and think the same as the} did the da) before they reached this point of no return. The decision to base retirement at a given chronological age regardless of vocation. ph~stcal and mental health dates back to the Social Security Act of 1933. It has little scientific basis and was arrived at without ad equate consultation with those who were affected bv this law. "The creation of the National Institute ·on Aging and the recent appointment of its first Director. Dr. Robert N. Butler. with a budget increase to $26 mi1lion for fiscal1977 is a ra) of hope and suggests a commitment by our Federal government to support basic research on the process of aging and the problems associated with it. Perhaps with increased knowledge about the elderly we may be able to dispel the misinformation and discriminatory. derogatory stereO!) ping of the elderly which is all too commonplace today." Dr. Small said. He is professor and chairman of the department of psychiatry at the Medical School and director of psychiatry at the E.j. Meyer Memorial Hospital. In her presentation Dr Eleanor A. jacobs said. "one of the highest priority challenges in modern behavioral science is represented by the question: How. and h) what methods do we retain the basic human resources of aging and aged individuals'? To begin to answer that challenge. we must dispense with the concept of chronological age as a criterion of abilit}. efficiency. and competence." The associate professor of ps)chology in the department of psychiatr) suggested that assessment measures (both psychological and physiological) must be and are being de\'eloped to derive a range of functional age criteria. "The functional efficiency of the 95 per cent of those retired individuals who "'ill live out their lives in the community must be maintained. while restorative tactics are utilized with the 5 per cent who are living their last years in an institutional setting." 18 THE BUFFALO PHYStCIA~ �• The clinical psychologist at Buffalo's Veterans Hospital pointed out that much has been written about the cognitive deficits found among elder!~ individuals. yet research studies indicate that the "well-aged" can learn. retain. and perform with a high degree of accuracy. given slightly more time than a younger person. "The well-aged who do not retire or disengage from the role of productive citizen, and who have a high number of options in life-style have greater longevity. fewer chronic medical conditions. less affective depressions. and a fuller. more satisfying life. The well-aged who face mandatory retirement without meaningful, productive life goals thereafter. and 'v\ ho have a limited or non-existent number of tife-style options, tend to experience a shortened life-span. many chronic medical conditions, increased cognitive deficits, chronic affective depression. and nn arid psychological existence." The aged and aging persons living in institutional settings (4 to 5'7r of the elderly population) must be given a greater number of life-style options. a sense of responsibility. and a sense of worthwhileness if the tide of deterioration is to be turned. Dr. Jacobs said. "Multi-disciplinary approaches combined with on-going research efforts are essential. Within the institutional setting. programs which combine reality-orientation. life-st~ le opllons in regard to daily habits and living arrangements. physical fitness programs. and the effective use (not over-use) of appropriate medications such as \'asodilators and anti-depressants appear to offer real benefit," Or. Jacobs concluded. In discussing the use of drugs for treating the aged psychiatric patient. Or. Melvin Steinhart said "elderly persons may suffer from the same emotional illnesses as younger individuals d:\pproximolely '150 allend o one-day srmposium on Socio-Medical l\lunagenwnl of the Gcriotnc Patient \VI\1TER. 1977 19 �panel Drs.

In addition. they have a fairly high incidence of organic brain syndromes . Especially regarding the latter, differential diagnosis is essential to be certain that treatable illnesses, such as space-occupying lesions, cardiovascular problems. and metabolic disorders are not overlooked. Senile dementia. a progressive degenerative process. is quite common and usually is of the Alzheimer type rather than being due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. the latter usuall~ involving extrocerebral arteries and producing lacunar disease." The 1962 U/B Medical School graduate. who is associate professor of medicine and psychiatry at Albany College of Union University, said "chronic organic brain syndromes most frequently include the following signs and symptoms: disorientation, labile affect, impaired judgment, concrete thinking, and a personality change which generally leads to behavior which is out of character for a given individual or exaggeration of previous personality trails. Disturbed intellectual functioning is almost always present and usually includes impaired retention. recall. and recent memor}. Loss of recent memory may lead to paranoid ideation since the person denies the loss and must find an explanation as to why he or she cannot find articles they've misplaced. "Many persons with marginally compensated chronic organic brain svndromes, when they lose their usual environmental orienting cues (such as at night or being placed in unfamiliar surroundings) will develop an acute organic brain syndrome (delirium) characterized by clouding of the senorium. confusion, perplexity. stupor, visual hallucinations, fear, agitation. misidentification of objects and persons, misperceptions leading to illusory phenomena. and paranoid ideation which usually relates to fear of bodily harm. This process is frequently referred to as the Sundowner Syndrome. It is a sensory deprivation delirium and should not be treated with "minor" tranquilizers such as chlordiazepoxide (LibriumJ, diazepam (Valium), barbiturates, or chloral hydrate since such sedative/hypnotic drugs cloud the 20 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �senorium and therefore \.'.-ill worsen the patient's status Rather. every effort should be made to keep the patient oriented: thts includes leaving a light on at night. ha\'ing a calendar and clock within vie\v, and repeated orientation by a supportive person in the environment - preferably the same person," Dr. Steinhart said. He pointed out that drugs are extreme!} useful in mental and emotional disturbances of the elderly. but should be used with the objective of helping the person to functiOn at his or her optimum. Therefore, drugs cannot be emplo~ed in a vacuum hut necessarily include maintaining the patient's self-esteem and interpersonal relationships. Particularly with those who have chronic organic brain syndromes efforts should be made to keep the patient active during the day so he will sleep at night (and therefore decrease the incidence of "sundowning"). Principles of drug therapy in the elderly must include the following, according to Or. Steinhart: 1. Alterations in absorption. storage, metabolism. excretion, and increased sensitivity of the nervous system to drugs as well as the patient's cardiovascular. renal. and hepatic functions; 2. Avoidance of polypharmac}. if possible. but recognition of possible drug interactions since many elderly persons must take numerous medications. A drug history should include those obtainable without prescription; 3. A\·oidance of drugs ~hich may further impair the patient: 4. The simultaneous use of more than one psychotropic drug of a given type (such as two tricyclic antidepressants) has no rationale; 5. Use liquid preparations when possible this enhances patient compliance: 6. Use the smallest amount of psychotropic drugs possible; 7. Use "drug holidays," such as no medication on weekends, to deplete the adipose tissue of drugs and hopefully prevent the onset of tarditive dyskinesia. Dr. Steinhart made several other observations: -Antipsychotic drugs (major tranquilizers) are useful in treating organic as well as so-called 'functional' psychoses: -Antiparkinson drugs have been shown to be of no value if used prophylactically; · -Anxiolytics {minor tranquilizers) are safer than barbiturates but should be used with caution since thev can cloud · the sensorium, leading to a toxic confusional state: -Lithium may be needed in the treatment of the eldedy for manic-depressive psychosis. In conclusion. Dr. Steinhart said, "all of the ps}chotropic agents discussed can render considerable impro\·ement in elder!) patients. but the) should be used with care and never as substitutes for interpersonal relationships; self-esteem, or to keep a patient 'quiet' mere!~ to cater to the needs of medical or paramedical personnel." 0 WINTER. 1977 21 �Dr Katz reads the X-rO}'S lo llcd\·ika Urban and Drs.

At the present time it is threatened by the current budgetary problems that plague all areas of the Stale system. The Department needs our support and suggestions to destgn a curriculum which will fulfill the needs of the practicing physician to which he will respond in .t posili\'C fashion. and if necessary to design a certifying examination \\hich will take into account not the detail that an individual knows about a subject but his approach to a cl4tical problem.

Sullivan, M'53 President Medical Alumni Association Dr Sullivan WINTER,1977 25 �Gardening Gardening and plant life is an interesting hobby for Dr. and Mrs. William H. Georgi. "It makes our lives more colorful and exciting." During the winter months they spend many hours working with 'plant families,' and in nice weather grooming and planting in their 18 various herb, asparagus and other vegetable gardens around their home in Colden, New York. Dr. Georgi is a 1943 Medical School graduate and head of the department of physical and rehabilitation medicine at the Buffalo General Hospital and acting chairman and clinical associate professor of rehabilitation medicine at the University Vtrs. Georgi is a substitute teacher of physical education and health in the Orchard Park School system . "When I'm not teaching, I work in our two-and one-half story greenhouse and exterior gardens plus giving lectures and tours of our gardens to civic groups, hobby and garden clubs. This keeps me busy. We love to share our gardens and enjoy helping visitors who come to see our plants. We try to advise them about the feeding, lighting and watering techniques that we have learned from experience." Mrs. Georgi has done a great deal with herbs and has helped others start herb gardens. She has written a handbook, Herbs Are Fun and Easy, Delicious and Nutritious. "Parsley and basil are easy to grow from seed or a cutting, but chives should be started with small plants. Sage, thyme, rosemary and lavendar are more difficult to raise." she said. Begonias, impatiens, spider plants and the various types of coleus are easy to grow and add color to the greenhouse. Mrs. Georgi is proud of her icicle plant with pink blossoms that open in the morning and close in the evening. They also grow verbena. orchids and bougainvillaea. Dr. Georgi has created a special asparagus garden. He also raises bees and makes his own honey. The plant lovers serve herb tea, her b bread and herb honey to visitors.O Dr. und Mrs. W11/JOm Georg1 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �''ll is a once in a lifetime opportunity." That is how Dr. Douglas MacN. Surgenor describes his new post in Boston where he will be Director of the Northeast Regional Red Cross Blood Program, president of the prestigious Center for Blood Research (CBR) and visiting professor of pediatrics at the Harvard Medical School. Dr. Surgenor assumed his new position in June. The Northeast Regional Red Cross Blood Program - the largest of 57 Red Cross blood programs across the U.S .. serves Massachusetts and Maine with a variety of sophisticated blood products and professional services. The program collects about 1000 units of blood daily to meet the needs of 233 hospitals in Massachusetts and Maine. CBR, an independent research institute devoting its attention to blood, is the successor of the world famous Harvard group, led by the late Professor Edwin J. Cohn, which made so many contributions to medicine during and after World War 11. These included the development of serum albumin and immune globulin for human use. the development of new methods of collection and processing of blood. and for the preservation of the formed elements of blood. Dr. Surgenor was a member of this group from 1943 until he came to Buffalo in 1960. A participant in virtually every level of medical decision making. Dr. Surgenor began his U/ B career 17 }ears ago. Startmg out as chairman of biochemistry in 1960, under his leadership the department grew both in number of faculty as well as range of research. From 1962-68, when he was dean of the Medical School he started The Buffalo Physician. From 1967-70 he \\as provost for the Health Sciences, and recent!} professor of biochemistry. More recently. as head of the medical admissions committee. Dr. Surgenor had been witness to the imbalance between the number of those who wanted ''in" and the available places. With un· wavering support from Dean Naughton he pointed to an admissions system today that is equitable, conforms with school policies and is in compliance with mandates from the federal and state governments. "The Committee assumes all decision making," he said. "Because it has complete responsibility for student selection, every applicant is assured of a fair hearing. This is what I am most proud of," he added. As teacher, researcher, and writer. Dr. Surgenor has made invaluable contributions to blood banking and research. He has served on many boards and as a consultant to numerous organizations. and was recipient of the American Heart Association's Citation for Distinguished Service to Research in 1968. Since 1972, he has served as president of the Center for Blood Research, also located in Boston. In Boston. Dr. Surgenor wants to harness the strengths and resources of the academic community to help solve the complex problems of delivering blood services to one of the most advanced medical regions in the country. His appointment as visiting professor at Harvard- a distinguished appointment reserved fo r a few of the leaders of medical science, is an important tribute to Dr. Surgenor from the Harvard Community, and is an indication of the help he can mobilize in reorganizing the Blood Program.D WfNTER. 1977 '.!.7 Dr. Surgenor Resigns Dr Surgenor �Promotions to Assistant Professor: Doctors Thomas Beam, John Breen, Peter Maddison (all from medicine).

Or. Sidney Anthone, clinical associate professor of surgery. built the greenhouse on the second floor back porch of his home in Central Park to please his wife. "Perhaps had I realized there would be 19 cartons of glass cut pieces and metal strips dumped at the curbside in front of our home I would have thought differently about building our own greenhouse," Dr. Antbone said. It was a "fun" six-month building job for father and son. Although 20-year-old David is a junior at the University of Denver, he spends enough time at home to enjoy the wide variety of fresh flowers and plants. Dr. Anthone finds it relaxing to work among the plants even though he claims to be no professional. "What a delight to look outside on a snowy or rainy day and see the beautiful, colorful plants inside.'· Or. Anthone said. Mrs. Anthone and her three daughters enjoy the collection of daisies, azaleas, chrysanthemums and Gloxinia, a tropical American Herb with leafy stems and blossoms of pink, white and violet. "Seeing hibiscus. orchids and gardenia plants grow in our enclosed garden along with cacti and ivy gives pleasure to the entire family." There has been a constant battle with mealy bugs that appear as while clumps of cotton on the plants. but they have been controlled by spraying. One area of the greenhouse is like an "intensive care unit" for the plants. Dr. Anthone admits that he never really talks to his plants but he does plug in music. "I like to listen to the plant growing. We both seem to do better with music. "0 WINTER. 1977 Dr Anlhone 29 �Dr. Small IJr. Small Dr. S.

Dr. Carr A Clinical Component A clinical component has been added to the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics. One example is the new research facility located at the Veterans Administration Hospital. Accessibility- the hospital is just across from the University campus - plus greater recognition of the Veterans Administration Hospital as a major teaching hospital provided the impetus. according to Dr. Edward A. Carr. Jr. In the new facility. the pharmacology-therapeutics chairman will continue to investigate radioactive diagnostic compounds. especially those used in imaging the heart. His other research interests center on endocrine pharmacolog} and problems of adverse reactions to drugs. Since every successful clinical pharmacology program in the United States has developed through cooperation between the basic pharmacology department of a medical school and its various clinical departments, Dr. Carr is pleased to see this cooperative arrangement developing here. The clinical pharmacology program he developed at the University of Michigan is administratively based in medical school pharmacology, but has developed close relations with internal medicine. pediatrics, and other clinical departments. This same arrangement has now been initiated at Buffalo. 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �\ Because he firmly believes that education for physicians and dentists in the use of drugs must continue over a lifetime. Or. Carr feels it is especially important to give them a good start. This can be done through a well organized program in medical and dental school that provides a continuum. starting at the basic level and going right up through the clinical years. '' For example," he said, "students learn the basic pharmacology of narcotic analgesic drugs in their course in Fundamentals of Pharmacolog) during the second year. This is an area where striking basic advances are currently being made. "But. as clinicians, students will later be faced with the problem of choosing a specific drug for a specific pain problem . They will need to consider its principal effects. its interaction with other drugs, and its relation to other possible ways of relie\·ing pain. Knowledge of ways to avoid the need for drugs in many clinical situations is just as important as knowledge of the indications for drugs," he added. When sufficient personnel is available, Dr. Carr hopes to offer a course for clinicians in the area, to update them on the use of certain important drugs. and the changes that have taken place over the past decade. Hoping this will be beneficial to them, he feels sure it will also benefit those giving the instruction. "Whene\ er I have a chance to discuss pharmacology and therapeutics with a group of clinicians practicing in the community," he stated. "I always learn some interesting points from them. This type of education is bilateral." 0 The physiological causes of obesity are being studied by Dr. Jack Goldman, associate professor of medicine. Using rats in which lesions have been created in the hypothalamus, he observes the metabolic systems of the animals and their non-lesioned counterparts. "I would guess we are 25 years from explanations of the physiological reasons people become overeaters," the chief of endocrinology and associate chief of staff for research at the Veterans Administration Hospital, said. "We can be sure that no diet or no drugs will help a patient keep off lost weight unless the person changes his eating habits. There are no miracle cures," Dr. Goldman said. "Amphetamines initially curb the appetite by working on that portion of the hypothalamus which controls hunger and satiet). B> increasing early weight loss. they may encourage the patient to stick to the diet. For patients who must lose 100 pounds or more, the pills can get them through the first few weeks of dieting with little or no side effects. After that, the patient generally feels less inclined to overeat. but an intensive program to help the patient change his eating habits must also be included for weight loss to be permanent," Dr. Goldman concluded. 0 WINTER, 1977 39 Obesity Study �A reconditioning session. Post-cardiac Reconditioning A This program was financed by on initial grant from the Bernhard Hoffman Memorial Foundation. Dr. Lawrence Golden. M'46, chairman of the deportment of medicine and chief of the section of cardiology at the Hospital and clinical professor of medicine, supervised the program. Dr. Barry Franklin, a physiologist. coordinated the program. He is now at Case Western Reserve University. Nurses, physical therapists and secretaries also assisted in the program. THREE-MONTH pilot program of post-cardiac reconditioning at the Millard Fillmore Hospital shows some positive results, according to Dr. Italo Besseghini, clinical associate in medicine. He was one of the program's medical supervisors. Eighteen of the origmal 23 participants completed the threemonth program. They showed a decrease in body weight as well as in body f_atness, as measured by a caliper test. "They showed an average increase in functional capacity of 11.7 per cent, as measured by an oxygen consumption test. This implies an increase in energy production that made physical tasks easier for the men," Dr. Besseghini said. In addition many of the participants showed a lower heart rate and lower blood pressure, indicating an increase in the efficiency of the cardio-vascular system. Dr. Besseghini said there were no major changes in levels of serum cholesterol or triglyceride concentrations among the participants during the three months. The hospital's cardiac reconditioning program was Western New York's first outpatient group-exercise program specifically for persons who have had or are prospective candidates for a heart attack. It was held four times a week and each participant was required to attend three weekly sessions. Dr. Besseghini explained that tltis program represents a relatively new approach for rehabilitating heart patients. Traditionally, individuals who had heart attacks were advised to limit their exercise to walking. Those who did exercise usually had no way of knowing what amount of activity was best for them. This program taught participants two important lessons. There is an optimal amount of exercise from which they can benefit, and for each person that amount is different. 40 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Each individual underwent a stress test which measures his ability to perform an exercise. usuall) walking a treadmill or riding an exercise bicycle During testing an individual's heart rate and blood pressure \\as measured and an electrocardiogram. recording the action of the heart muscle, was taktm. "We wanted to find out his maximal functional capacity: his ability to take in and utilize oxygen. The key to the reconditioning program is the person's maximal heart rate - the number of beats per minute at the point when he begins showing fatigue during a stress test," Or. Besseghini said. The exercise program. he added, focuses on a patient's exercising only to the point where he reaches 70 per cent of his maximal heart rate, a figu re which is referred to as the optimal heart rate. Several times during each session, participants were asked to take their pulse rates and report them to a secretar) who altends along with a supervising team including a physician and nurse. An electrocardiogram also is taken before and after c.tch session. "A patient should be in a program like this for about a year. It wou ld allow him to become aware of his limitations on the way he exercises, the intensity he can handle and allo\\ him to become independent," Dr. Besseghini said. He also noted th.tt "exercise per se is not really going to pre\'ent a heart attack. Howe\'er. a person who is well conditioned is going to come through a heart attack much quicker. much safer and with less loss of function." 0 ,.

He shall he responsible to the Professor of t\natomy for the management of the Dissecting room and for all dissections and preparations that may be required uf him for purposes of illustration. Ill. He shall provide all subjects for the Dissecting room, ;~s well as those for the necessar} use of the Professors of Anatomy & Surgery without an) expense to the college. rv. It is understood that the subjects (cadavers) are to he obtained in such a manner as not to compromise the interests of the Institution.

Dr. Ford remained in Buffalo until 1852 and then left for S) racuse where he was Professor of Ana tom~ in the Dental School. In 1854 he accepted the chair in Anatom) at the Universi~~ of ~1ichigan. Two years later. the .\linute Book of the ~lcdical Faculty of the University of Buffalo reads: 29 Scpl. 1856:1-'acull) mcelrng held allhe \l~dic.ll Coltegt:.

Ford carried the skills of his trade\\ ith "bod,· snatchers" and "resurrectionists" v..-ith him- which meant som~! of his anatomical material was obtained from Western :\e\\' York . We now know that Dr. Edmund Andrews. the demonstrator at Ann Arbor. had an agent in Buffalo who_received S25. for every specimen sent by express - labeled "pickles" or "fresh paint". The medical students had nothing to do with this enterprise. Dr. James Webster, the Professor of Anatomy had three favorable and no unfavorable entries. Prior to his appointment at Buffalo, he had accumulated twent}- years of teaching experience. The three favorable entries are as follows: 1. Prof. Webster gave his second lecture on General Anatomy. It was a very good lecture .... d- WINTER. 1977 47 �2. Prof. \Vebsler gave two lectures on the brain. II \\as an e~­ cellent brain for demonstration and Webster ts tht! man that can demonstrate it 3. Webster gave his farewell address to the students of Buffalo College. It was a \'er) fine production and the Prot. went off with the best wishes of the class. Or. Charles Alfred Lee (It is interesting to note that he latini1.ed his name - Carolus Alfredus - when he signed diplomas) had probably contributed more to the medical literature than an) other American author. by the time of his death in 1872. lie \\,ts our professor of pathology and materia medica. ThPre are twent}-four entries in the diary - 3 favorable and no unfavorable ones as follows: 1. Prof. Lee ga\'e his introductory lecture. It "''ds a very fine production well worth) of publication .... 2. Prof. Lee gave us lwo most excellent lectures. high!) important and full of instruction.

A recurrent theme in medical histor) is that Austin Flint. Sr. good teacher who influenced thousands of students. After all. he taught at Chicago. Buffalo, Louisville. ~ew Orleans. Long Island and New York City. He was our first Professor of Prtnciples and Practice of Medicine and Clinical ~ledicine. \'\aS a The diary contains 73 entries about Flint, 3 favorable .1nd :J unfa\'orable. Lei us consider the entry for 24 March 18-18. which ts the first of three fa\'orablc ones about Flint: Allcnded Dr Flint's lecture on auscultation and percussion . He had given one lecture which 1 missed. !think the Dr. vcr~ clear in his elucidation on this subject and for this reason seek his lectures.

This reference was erroneous but there is an article b) James Hope on the treatment of chronic pleuris~ with effusion in \\ hich he de\'oted a paragraph to Stokes' mode of treatment with cold Lugol's iodine and mercurial ointment. The third favorable entry was just 5 days before graduation: ... Flint finished on scarletina, a n!r} ~ood lecture for him. He also made some uppropnate remarks to thu class on the retrospect I\ e .md prospective and then bid us farewell ..•. The first two unfavorable entries follow: 1. Or. Flint ~o~ave u clinic but did not amount to an) part1cular sum and I do not deem it worth} or a S}nopsis on this page.• . 2. Bore with lectures oil day Flint gave two lectures on T)phus, and this hos become stale enough and not finished yet. .. . 48 THE BUFFALO P!IYSICIAN �Why was Hill bored all day with lectures and Flint's lectures on typhus "stale"? There is really no clue in the diary - but there is one in the Annual Announcement of the }.tedical Department of the Universitv of Buffalo for 1849. There we learn, after graduation. that Hill had selected Typhus or Sh1p f'e\·er as hts thesis subject. Hence. much of what Flint had to say about the subject was very likely a restatement of information already known to Hill from other sources. The final unfavorable entry was on: 9 Apnl 1849 ..• Flint was still on Smallpox -and small was hu, lecture. The entry about Flint - "and small was his lecture" \·vas written in di~inutive script. (Fig. 2 line 3 from top). Perhaps Flint was just as tired of giving lectures as Hill as of listening to them. (By the way, the medical course that year had been extended from 16 to 20 weeks.} Whatever the reason, it is obvious that llill's admiration and respect for Flint as a teacher had diminished between 2-t March 1848 and 13 April1849. Rather than to leave these entries with a sour note. tvvo more will be quoted to show that Hill could be quite objective v1.:hen he felt so inclined. First. let us remember that this was onh the fourth lecture course given b) Flint. The first was at ·Rush }.1edical College. The entry for 21 t-.1arch 1849 provides a clue that Flint was destined to become a great teacher by challenging the students to contribute to and advance our knowledge of medicine by stating: · ...Flint took up remittent fever. gave the histor~ . phenomena . somt• of the supposed causes and patholog~. The latter hO\\ ever. he concluded we knO\\ next to nothmg and hoped the subject '"ould meet with the attent1on from the present class if anyone located [,.,·orahl~. to receive an opportunit) to investigate the subject. . • . Hill was the top man in his class when he graduated 18 April 1849 and records the events of that evening as follows: ... Prof. Flint had a levee at 9 o'clock this evening. It was quite pleasant so far as I was capable of judging.... Or. George Hadle). the son of Or. James Haole), \"'.'hu wtts Professor of Chemistry and Pharmacy at Geneva Medical College, was one of the youngest members of the facult). He had one favorable comment among 42 entries: . .. Prof. Ha(IIC) ~ave us a most instructive lecture on chlormc, 1ts properties. mode of preparing and ph}siological effects - chlormc. Cl-35.4. All its combinations with oxygen are obtained from the chlorate of potassium. . . Dr. Charles B Coventry came to the Unh·ersit) of Buffalo as Professor of Physiology and Medical Jurisprudence. However. in view of his experience at the Medical Institution of Gene\'i.l College, he was first assigned the chair of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children - primarily because Dr. James Platt White had no previous teaching experience in those fields. Of the 34 entries. there was one favorable apd two somewhat unfavorable ones as follows: !.Prof. Co\'entr~ .1ppeared before the class in the morning ilnd )lol\'C his introdu-ctor) lecture to the course on ph~siolog) . Th1s wus a beautifully \Hillen ancl studied lecture . ... dWINTER. 1977 49 �2.There were no lectures in the mornin~.

Dr. James Platt White. who did more than anyone else to establish the University of Buffalo, had no pre\'ious teaching experience before he \·\'as appointed to the chair of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children. Because he was supremely ignorant of dogma, he revolutionized the clinical teaching of obstetrics with what he termed demonstraUve midwifen. Of the 44 entries, there are four unfavorable and no favorable ones. The first one is quoted entirely: 24 Feb 1848. Wont to the Colle~e . Attended some of the lectures. Webster ~ave his introductory to h1s course on anatomy. it was the same as I heard nt Gene,· a.

Mind you - this was written 114 yea~s before our ~ledical School had a Standing Committee on Promotions and Tenure and Search Committees. The last three unfavorable ones are: 2. \\ hlle made somethmg of a bust on hemorrhaJ!e. He announced .tt the commencement of his lecture he "as going to enforce the old and orthodox doctrine of turning to dehver and condemns the late doctrine of ha\·in~ the placenta dehvered prenou:. to the fetus . etc. etc. 3. White on Chlorisis whtch did not amount to an) particular sum .... 4 . White continued his lingo on hysteria but it was ne1ther here nor there..•. This entry brings out Hill's wry sense of humor and sarcasm. [Fig. 2 first line). Since Hill belittled the lecture and made a pun about it being neither here nor there, James Plall White very likely espoused the theory that the uterus in cases of sexual deprivation would rise up and wander through the body in search of moisture and humidity. The entr)- about Flint -"and small was his lecture" \o\hich was written in diminutive script .tlso illustrates his wry sense of humor. Dr. Frank Hastings Hamilton was our first Dean and Professor of Principles and Practice of Surger~ and Clinical Surger)-. He established a record in the diary by accumulating the most unfavorable comments - eight out of 60 entries. Before commencing with these entries, there is one which brings out certain aspects of our human frailties . . . .The lime from the above date (1 Januar~ 1849) to the present (19 Januarr 1849) ha~ been devoted to attending medical lectures \\ithout anything peculiar havin11taken place \\ ith the except1on of one of our Professor~ (Hamilton) honng got a black eye and some student placed a note on the Professor's table asking him if "his black e}e \\OS m strict accordance with the principles Inculcated 10 his introductor} lecture" of which the Professor took umbrage As for Professor I lamilton's black eye.

He may have met with an unsympathetic listener. The first five uncomplimentary entries are: 1 .

The next uncomplimentary entry needs a few introductory remarks to make it meaningful to those not acquainted with the early history of our ~1edical School.

The Facull}' completed the exammation of the candidares and voted on the recommendation to come before the Curators tomorrow. most of whom hove heen notified. myself excepted. This is characteristic of rust as mean a man as the Dean of this Facult~. Frank H. Hamilton. Hill was a very suspicious person -just paranoid enough to make him brill ian t.

Do not kno\\ "hether I shall or not. perhaps' We now know what one medical student thought about our heroes - the first facult)- of lhe Uni\·ersity of Buffalo. Harvey Cushing (1934) had this to 58) about them, "They made for the next five years as notable a faculty of energetic men as one could hope to find anywhere.'' They had their weaknesses and their 52 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �strong points. Little did John D. Hill realize when he wrote the diary that Dr. James Platt White would turn out to be a veritable knight in shining armor. Perhaps there is only one diary like the one presented. but it is my pleasant thought that much memorabilia is still preserved by neglect. in the dusty and forgotten corners of private and public buildings. and that, hopefully. the future will bring to them the attention that their importance deserves. considering the humanizing light they may cast on the greater. or lesser. figures of our medical past. 0 Footnotes •Presented be(oru the Fr~ends of The Health Science Library, S.U ..\'.

WINTER. 1977 53 �VA Hospital Renovation A $300,000 renovation now undenvay on the fifth and eighth floors of Veterans Administration Hospital will lead to better health care facilities for patients as well as more space for teaching. It is the result of a greater role for \ AH as a major teaching and research hospital of the School of Merline. "~ot only has the number of nursing students who receive their clinical training at VAH increased sixfold over the past four years (from 120 back in 1972 to over 700 toda} )." sa)s ~1r. Joseph Paris. "but the number of medical students who receive their training in medicine and surgery has markedly increased as well." Mr. Paris is director of the Veterans AdmiDistration Hospital. And more surger> and medicine residents are now working at the VAH than ever before. Mr. Paris added that "it is a result of integrated University residency programs in both medicine and surgery." Students are also benefiting from expanded library .hours which supply almost round-the-clock services. He also pointed to several recent ke) faculty appointments. "Our physicians hold joint Unh·ersit) /Hospital appointments," he said. Noting the former crowded medicine/surgery teaching facilities at VAH- these are the hospital's two largest teaching programs - Dr. Daphne Hare pointed to the difficulty in accommodating more than a handful of nursing/medical students on teaching rounds and at patient consultations. Dr. Hare is Associate Chief of Staff for Education at VAH and is associate professor of medicme and biophysics at the University. :-..!ow all this is undergoing change. Facilities to examine and care for patients arc being improved and increased as the professional staff is augmented. "With a reduced number of patients assigned to each medical/nursing team, more effective and efficient patient care will be provided," Dr. Hare said. Teaching will also improve. There will be a >Aell equipped conference room, a number of new treatment rooms. and enlarged office space. "These will accommodate the numerous consultants and staff members who now carry on their teaching/clinica l responsibilities in the halls," she added. "As the first to receive comprehensive renovation support for an integrated service/education facility. we will carefully evaluate its successes, failures. The Veterans Administration in Washington wants to use our findings in future renovations," Or. Hare said. 0 54 THE BUFFALO PIIYS!Cit\1\. �Sentinar in Cancun I t was the last day of February when 30 ph}sicians headed for Cancun, t-..1exico to participate in the annual Continuing Education Seminar on Clinical Trends.

Thorn, a 1929 honor graduate of the U/ B School of Medicine. Dr Thorn was in Buffalo to present the first award to dental researcher, Dr. Robert J. Genco, for exceptional professional achievement in dental education. The award was among several made at the annual U/ B Alumni Association's Installation and Awards Banquet in june. Dr. Genco has been on the U/ B dental faculty since 1967. He is a professor of oral biology and director of graduate periodontology. Dr. Thorn. a native of Buffalo, was co-discover of cortin and is presently physician-in-chief emeritus at Boston's Peter Bent Brigham Hospital and Hersey Professor emeritus. Harvard Medical School. Thorn taught at U/B and worked with Dr. Frank A. Hartman on adrenal gland experiments, the basis for his national reputation. Their work with synthetic hormones is credited with reducing the mortality rate of Addison's disease victims from over 80 per cent to less than 15 per cent. Dr. Thorn's career was marked by early meteoric events. Onl y 10 years after his graduation he received the highest recognition that can be given a medical scientist. the Gold Medal of the American Medical Association. The coveted positions he held at Harvard for some three decades were awarded him only three years later, and in 1943 he was one of the youngest persons ever to receive the Chancellor's Medal from U/ B. In April the Alpha Omega Alpha Society at Harvard presented a film that paid tribute to Dr. Thorn's distinguished career. The author of more than 50 publications in scientific Journals, Dr. Genco is internationally known for his work in immunology and oral disease. At the 1975 International Association of Dental Research meeting in London. he received the Basic Research in Oral Science Award. given only to one person each year. Students ask to work in his laboratory during their free time. He has interested them in the correlation between basic medical sciences and problems of the oral cavity, and shares the credit for many predoctoral students being asked to present their laboratory findings at national meetings. He is also responsible for several major research grants awarded to the School of Dentistry and has served on a number of peer review panels for the 1\:ational Institutes of Health.O Mrs. Thorn. Dr. Thorn, Dr. and Mrs. Edmond Gicew1cz. Dr. Gicew1cz was one of five to rece1ve the Dislingu1shed Alumni Award for significant career and community achievements. 56 THE BUFFALO PIIYSICIAN �Meyer Hospital Honors Three Physicians Dr. Paul J. Davis. professor of medicine. was honored as the "outstanding clinical teacher'' by the graduating residents in internal medicine at the E.J. Me~er Memorial Hospital. It was the third annual a\\'ard given a faculty member by the graduating residents. Or. Davis received a monogrammed white coal at the june 18th dinner dance at the Sheraton-East. He also heads the unh•crsity\'\'ide endocrine program. l'he physician-educator came to Buffalo in 1975 from Baltimore where he headed the endocrine division of the Hopkms Sen ice at Baltimore City Hospital for five years. The 40-yenr old professor of medicine is a graduate of Harvard t\1edical School (1963) and completed a residency in medicine at the Bronx 1\lunicipal Hospital Center In 1967 he joined the Johns Hopkins medicine faculty. set\'ed for two years with the Public Health Ser\'ice. was a senior staff Fellow in the endocrine section of NICI m·s gerontolog~ research center. and a clinical associate in its clinical ph~siology brt~nch as well. Dr. Davis is .1 Diplomate of the American Board of Internal ~ledicine and .t Fellow of the American College of Ph)sicians. His research interests include the mechanisms of action of thvroid hormone, .1ction of insulin in renal tubules. water metabolis~. the e\'olution of extracellular hormone-binding proteins. and testing of the free hormone hypothesis of endocrine action. Also honored at the annual Meyer Hospital part} were Drs. :'\iorman 0. Kalmin and Geraldine Sledziewski. Or. Kalmin recei\'ed the $200 Semmelweiss Award for his work on Serum Ferritin as an indirect measurement of bone marrO\\ iron stores This .tward was created in 1974 b~ Dr. O.A. Pragay. clinical associate professor of biochemistry and director of chemistry at the Meyer Hospital. The award is named for Ignatius Semmelweiss. who pioneered antiseptic and aseptic methods of surgery, obstetrics and gynecology between 1840 - 1865 in Austria and Hungary. Or. Kalmin received his MB Bch degree from the University of Witwatersrand, johannesburg. South Africa in 1971. He did postgraduate work at the Johannesburg General Hospital and has been a Fellow in hematology at the Meyer Hospital the last year. Or Sledziewski receh•ed the SlOO i\orman Chassin Award. The a\\ard is given annually to the "intern of the year." Dr. Sledziewski is a 1976 graduate of the U /8 ~1edical School. Her postgraduate work has been in internal medicine at both the Meyer and VA Hospitals. This award is named for Or. Chassin, a 19-:15 ~ledical School graduate. who is a clinical associate professor of medicine.D \IVI\!TER. 1977 Dr Do\"Js Dr Kolmm �FACULTY ME~lBERS were honored at the annual ~tedical School faculty meeting. Dean john 1\aughton presented the Dean's ~1edal to Or. Douglas M. Surgenor for his "outstanding contributions" to the School of Medicine. Stockton Ktmball awards for each indi\ idual's contribution to teaching, research and sen·ice went to Drs. Erwin Xeter and Carl Arbesman The Louis A. and Ruth Siegel a\'\ards (S500 each) for distinguished teaching went to Drs. Henry E. Black. \largaret H. MacGillivray and john R. Wright. Or. Surgenor joined the faculty in 1960 as professor and head of the department of biochemistry. From 1962-68 he was dean of the Medical School and from 1967-71 he was provost of the Facult} of Health Sciences. He resigned to de\ote full time to teaching and research as professor of biochemistry. Or. Surgenor left U/0 in June to accept the presidenc> of Boston's Center for Blood Research. He did his undergraduate work at Williams College and the University of Massachusetts and received his Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1946. He was a teaching fellow and research chemist there before joining the Harvard University Medical School. Dr. Arbesman, clinical professor of medicine and microbiology, has been on the facult} since 1941. He recei\'ed both his bachelor and M.D. degrees (1935) from U/8. In hts 40 years as a ph~sician-educator he has contributed over 300 arttcles on his research and trained 34 physicians from 16 countries. Many are professors or chairmen of academic departments while others are famous clinicians and researchers. He has devoted his life to the study of allergy since he suffered from severe eczema and bronchial asthma. He also heads the allergy research laboratory at The Buffalo General and Children's Hospitals. As an outstanding clinician and researcher Or. Arbesman has received invitations from academic institutions and hospitals throughout the world to participate in conferences and clinical consultations. Or. Neter is professor of microbiology at the Medical School and professor of clinical microbiology in the department of pediatrics at Children's Hospital.

Four emeritus physicians. all former Medical School facult) members. have enthusiasticall~ endorsed the new Center. They are Drs. O.P. Jones. Clyde L. Randall. Mitchell Rubin. and Kornel Terplan. The Center. conceived by retired psychology professor Rose Weinstein, is the first of its kind in the United Stales to offer an oncampus facility for those who want to stay in touch with their colleagues after retirement. "We are stressing the humanistic npproach to retirement and believe many people want to continue to be creative. We hope the Center will facilitate the transition from active to retired status," Professor \\'einstein said. Ruth East is the administrati\'e assistant and can be reached at 831-4813 The Center has an executi\ e committee composed of Or. Harold Brod). professor and chairman of anatomicaJ sciences: Or.

The an'tl is carpeted, outfitted with arm chairs and drapes and decorated with art selected by the art department. TV. coffee. magazines, newspapers and other amenities are a\·ailable. ''The setting is inviting. We want to entice retired people to lea\'e home and come back to the campus," Professor Weinstein said. Eleven months in development. The Center emerged from tin idea of Professor Weinstein's. "Earl) in my retirement I was aware of both a desire to enjo) m) separation from the rigors of full-time working and teaching and simultaneous!) a sense of loss. . loss of regular contact with the academic communit) that had been my life for 18 years. Then l realized that retirement represented not only a loss for the retired facult) member but the Universit)-'s loss as \\ell." An emeritus center seemed to Professor Weinstein as a way for the University to end the waste of facult~ skills. talent and experience that retirement often represents. President Robert L. Ketter agreed and encouraged Professor Weinstem to develop the Center. President Ketter said. "the concept of an emeritus center reflects the deep com·iction that the aggregate of knowledge and skills represented by our retired faculty should be retained and nurtured beyond the years of active teaching. I believe that significant relatiOnships \\ ith colleagues. continuing interests with students, and many community wide contacts may be meaningfully facilitated by life-time membership in such a proposed center. Indeed. it is quite possible that for some retired faculty ne'' ,md challenging roles ma~ emerge .. :· Eventualh. Professor \\einstein sa\s, the Emeritus Center concept may be extended to the Amherst Campus. And beyond th.Jt, it could conceivably develop into the nucleus for an area-wide consortium of retired professors, including those from surrounding colleges.O W!:--JTER. 1977 hi �The Classes The Classes of the 1920's Or. john ) Bernhard, M'25. has retired.

Bert Lies A 1964 Medical School graduate is a dealer in antiques and Indian art. Or. Bert Lies. an orthopedic surgeon, is enthusiastic about his hobby. Some 15 years ago when he was an intern and his bride was teaching school, she bought an oriental rug. At the time, he was flabbergasted at the cost. Smce that time they have been offered four times what they paid for the rug. Because of his scientific background Or. Lies does not JUmp into anything without careful research. He joined the Textile Museum in Washington for its publications and subscribed to the catalogs of the leading antique auction firms in the nation. Dr. Lies decided to specialize in 18th Century American country furniture. "I am not interested in collecting the mahogany furniture from the big centers in New York, Boston and Philadelphia. I'm interested in the lighter woods used by rural cabinet makers. My choice is strictly from a personal, aesthetic point of view." Recently Or. Lies got an antique dealer's license so he could buy, sell and upgrade his collection. He also learned to re-evaluate museums. "It is one thing to go to a museum as a tourist but quite another to go as a collector. You introduce yourself to the curator of the department that interests you. l\luseum people are super \'\'hen they realize you are interested and knm,vledgeable." Dr. Lies' interest in American folk art led him to an interest in American Indian art. "When you're dealing with Indian artifacts, you're dealing with people who are still living and some of the really great Indian craftsmen are still alive ... Last summer the Lies famil) and an ant1que dealer vis1ted the Sioux and Crow Reservations in South Dakota. The children have been along on so many buying and studying trips that their 11-yearold daughter "can pick out a Queen Anne's chair" and the 8-yearold can "tell a Caucasian rug from a Turkish one and a Navajo rug made for commercial purposes from a quality Navajo weaving." The clinical associate in or thopedics admits that antiques may become his full time occupation when he retires from medicine.O 62 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA• �The Classes of the 1930's Or.

States, professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Rochester School of Medicine. He spoke at the opening meeting of the Buffalo Academy of Medicme. "We can do something about highway accidents and traffic trauma through vehicle design. The shoulder-lap belts function very well. Unfortunately. usage rates are still disappointingly low - about 25 per cent with the ignition-interlock system and about 5 per cent usage before that." the national authority on motor vehicle safet} said. "The airbag is highly effective. but the cost is high and its reliability shaky," the chief of orthopedic service at General Hospital in Rochester said. He pointed out that the three structures accounting for the most injuries are the windshield. the dashboard and the steering column. Or. States suggested that the final solution is not the airbag. "The passive restraint system offered as an option in the Volkswagen Rabbit is a viable alternative. The VW Rabbit has a single shoulder belt. Instead of a lap belt. the car has a knee bar of molded plastic foam to guard against impact. It is highly effective and the usage rate is 90 per cent. .. In his illustrated lecture the orthopedic surgeon said \\ e kill 50,000 people annually on our highways. "Members of~ our family or mine could be among the next victims. In young people (under 24 years of age) highway accidents are the most common cause of death. Heart disease and cancer takes the most li\'es. but auto accidents are a close third ... Dr. States said the helmet laws are a good example of what is going on. Eight states have repealed them because of pressure from the cyclists and politicians. "The real issue is an emotional one. restriction of freedom," he said. Driver education is good but statistics shO\\ that good students are good drivers and poor students are poor drivers. Automobile accidents are on the decrease. but bicycle and motorcycle accidents are increasing, he said. In conclusion Or. States said improved designs in automobiles and elimination of road-side hazzards will decrease accidents in the years ahead. "We are making progress. but it is slow." 0 70 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Lester Dr. Garra L. Lester, M'29, was honored for his 40 years of service to Chautauqua, New York recently. The citation: Chautauqua Institution - Certificate of Recognition and Appreciation- awarded to Dr. Carra L. Lester in honor of bis 40 years of outstanding service to his Community to which he bas indeed been l'\.'edded- for better or for worse, to the richer or the poorer, in sickness or in health - be it morning, noon or the middle of the night - the wonderful friend, gentleman and skilled man of medicine has served h1s Community so unselfishly and un- tiringly. It is only fitting that Chautauqua Institution and the surrounding areas hereby wish to pay tribute to the great ability which he has shown m the profession of medicine, and also to express their heartfelt thanks and great appreciation for all that he has come to mean to their community. Chautauqua and, indeed, the world is a better place because of his presence here. Dr. Lester is a Fellow, American Academy of Family Practice, American Geriatrics Society and Mayo Foundation Alumni. He has also been school physician in Chautauqua County for many years. He is a member of several professional associations.D $226,904 Grant The Medical School received a four-year $226.904 grant from HEW to establish a "model educational training program" for qualified United States students who have been studying at foreign medical schools. The first program will begin July 1. 1978, and over the next four years 41 students will be admitted. Dean John Naughton said. "we are particularly pleased with the grant since federal legislation has mandated by formula that all medical schools participate in the coordinated transfer application system (COTRANS).'' The Medical School has participated in this program since 1969. although external resources were not available to support the program. The authors of the grant proposal, Dr. John Richert, project director and assistant dean and Dr. Frank Schimpfhauser, codirector and assistant dean, have indicated that the major program elements will include a diagnostic testing and prescriptive remediation program for the transfer students prior to their entry into the formal third year medical program, as well as educational monitoring and post-testing at regular intervals throughout the third and fourth year clinical curriculum. According to Dr. Joseph Aquilina, clinical professor of medicine \Vho is also a co-director of the project, the U/ 8 Medical School was one of only eight medical schools nationally to receive the competitive grant awards. Under this program (COTRANSJ American students, \<\ho have completed their basic science education in foreign medical schools and passed Part I of the National Boards, are accepted into the clinical years in American Medical Schools.D WIJ\'TER. 1977 71 �Dr. Jehuda Steinbach. clinical asststant professor of nucle.~r medicine and chief of the Veterans Administration I lospital's ~uclear Medicine Service. will be the clinical program director of a new major. The Bachelor of Science in nuclear medicine technolog~ is a joint program offered b~ the Schools of Medicine and Health Related Professions. Dr. Steinbach is also a research assistant professor of medicine. Students pursuing the new major will select their area of concentration at the beginning of the junior year. Students' clinical training in affiliated hospitals will be arranged under direct supervision of the Department of Nuclear Medicine faculty. The VA Hospital has been designated as the major teaching hospital. Roswell Park Memorial Institute, Mercy. and Chi ldren's hospitals will provide add i tiona! clinical sites. Dr. Steinbach said that the skills of the nuclear medicine technologist complement those of the nuclear medicine physician and other professionals in the field. The nuclear medicine technologist perfo rms diagnostic procedures including the operation of imaging devices used to detect certain abnormal conditions in the body. Also, the technologist must have expertise in techniques and safety precautions required for the handling of radioactive substances. Emphasizing the need for this new program. Dr. Steinbach said most technical manpower in nuclear medicine has been provided by on-the-job training involving varied backgrounds such as medical technology, radiologic technology or radiation therapy. The new program is designed to fill the present gap in manpower training for nuclear medicine by providing academic as well as clinical education experiences in a formal program of study.O Nuclear Medicine Dr. john H. Talbott is not intimidated by death or talk about the p reparation of death. To him, death is a fact of life. I le understands the dying patient often has special needs - needs that can go unmet. "I do not think life should be prolonged unnecessarily, I think death should be very dignified; it is a very personal act," Dr. Talbott said. For himself and his wife he has drawn up "li\ ing wills." The clinical professor at the Universit) of Miami Medical School says, "death today deserves a fuller, freer discussion." From 1946 to 1959 Dr. Talbott was professor of medicine at U/ B and chief of medicine at The Buffalo General Hospital. The next 12 years he was editor of JAMA. Dr. Talbott says he wants to live a full and long life, "but not at all costs. If my death is near and cannot be avoided. and if I have lost the ability to interact with others and have no reasonable chance of regaining this ability, or if my suffering is intense and irreversible. I do not want to have my life prolonged. I would then ask not to be subjected to surger y or resuscitations. Nor would I wish to have life support from mechanical ventilators." To car ry out his instructions Dr. Talbott names his son and daughter or his personal physician.O Death With Dignity 72 THE BUFFALO PIIYSIC!AN �A 1\1essage from Michael A.

Nu•ller 2 •••••, 1177 �Dear Alumni and Alumnae: It is a pleasure to report to you on an event which c\•idenced the spirit and quality of our student body. On March 1H. 1!177, the Second Year Class coordinated and orchestrated the ":-.ted School Follies.'' This occasion reinstituted the tradition of .tn annual student night which had formerly been cunduded by members of the Fourth Year Class, but which in rc<.cnt years had disappeared from the scene. Dean Naughton From the desk of John P. Naughton, M.D. Dean, School of Medicine There were several points \.\ hich ~erved to make this a memorable occasion. The entire event was organiznd and carried off solely on the initiative of the medical students. The setting for the event was the Canisius College Student Center, nnd the atmosphere was one of collegiality, warmth and friendliness. The pro~ram content included a di~play of talent. creativity and imagination. The skits did not evidence a sense of frustration or anger, but rather one of intellectual curiosity. personalit) growth. and appreciation. Each revealed a mixture of acting talent. musical genius and awareness of life. For an observer like myself. the totality of the experience demonstrated how fortunate we are to have a gifted group of medical students"'' ith rather expansive interests. One can only be reassured that the School of Medicine has been strengthened b> the contribution of these students, and can only be optimistic of the other marks thai the) will make in the life of the Institution and of the proress10n in the years ahead. I think you and I owe these students an expression or gratitude. Hopefully. events such as these will reinvigor,tlc us all \'\:ith the spirit of enthusiasm, trust and dedication.

Postgraduate Matching Dr Katz lldiko Kondra} "The news is good - 83 per cent of you received your first, second, or third choices in the annual National Postgraduate Matching Program. And 56 per cent of the fourth year students were matched with their first choice." Dr. Leonard Katz, associate dean. told the graduating seniors that 126 were matched through the program while 14 made their own arrangements. Forty-eight of the students selected medicine as their specialty, 25 picked surgery, pediatrics attracted 17. family practice 15. and gyn/ob 13. Forty-nine of the 140-member class will remain in Buffalo for their postgraduate education. Another 30 will remain in New York State. California with 10 and Ohio with 9 were next in popularity with 20 other states selected by one or more of the graduates. Dr. Katz named several prominent hospital programs where the students were matched. They are: pediatrics at the Yale-1\e"" Haven Hospital: medicine at the Bronx Municipal Hospital; gyn/ob at Duke University; psychiatry at the Universit} of Minnesota Hospital: family practice at Seattle, Washington; and surger}' at three hospitals - Beth Israel.

Coincidently, this year marks my 30th anniversary of graduation from the old Medical School on High Street. These two events make me look back into the past and muse over the contrasts of then and now. As a fresh faced Interne at the Buffalo General Hospital, I was paid room and board. No money, but strangely we didn't think ourselves cheated. Toda}, the pay is around $10,000 a year. and the grumbling is loud. Internes at our hospital had to be unmarried. Now. it seems. most freshman students are married. As a medical student I recall being called on the carpet because I was wearing "undignified" suspenders, "braces" they called them, instead of a belt. Contemplate our modern disheveled medical student. I recall our Chief - Or. John Talbott - telling us it was unnecessary to have medical malpractice. ''You are competent and will not be sued." I needn't comment on today's malpractice climate. And how autocratic the altendings of that day were. I recall excusing myself one day while making rounds with my attending, to answer a phone call. When J returned, he quietly told me, his eyes blazing, that if I ever left him again in that fashion, I was finished. Today, we attendings are a subdued and tamed lol. Now the students and housemen grade us. In 1947, three women comprised the Dean's office at the Medical School. Poor Mrs. Deeley listened to our personal woes. loaned us a buck or two. and occasionally had to make bail, as well as running the School. Today, I am a\\'ed by the numbers of workers and their fe\erish activitv when l visit the School. And the pr"actice of medicine. How it has changed. I recall as an Interne seeing a great, kind surgeon being brought to his knees and killed by hypertension. How easily such a problem can be managed today. The coronaries of that day received morphine and oxygen and prayer. Compare that to the sleek CCU's of today. But some things in Medicine have not changed. The practice of the art was exciting then. It is exciting now. The gratification one gets from helping someone who is ill remains unchanged. And the kindness and gratefulness of patients remains, despite what so many say. And lastly the great pleasure of associating with so many fine physicians was there then and is there now. How many I have met and known. Great men, brilliant men, kind men, wise men, clever men, humorous men. A little bil of each of them has rubbed off onto me. Yes-some things in medicine do not change. It was a noble calling in 1947. And it is in 1977. 0 Sl }.I~IER. 1977 9 Dr. Phillips A Message from James F. Phillips, M '47 President Medical Alumni AssociCition �Dr. Hornstint• of llumlltan. Ontario. Drs Lenard Kotz.

Lively exchange of ideas characterized the meeting. Dr. Harold Fallon, Chief of Medicine at the Medical College of Richmond. Virginia, spoke on "Alcoholic Hepatitis 1976". and Dr. john Morrissey, Professor of Medicine, University of Wisconsin, Madison Wisconsin, presented his thoughts about Drs. Danae Jeffrey anrl Usha ,\fothur. both clJmcal aSSIStant instructors o( medicine Dr Emonufl/ l.ebenthal. associate professor of and Dr Nolan. pediatriC~. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"Colonoscopy - Uses and Abuses". Dr. Fallon stressed the life-threatening nature of severe alcoholic hepatitis but assured the group of the accuracy of previously reported beneficial effects of corticosteroids in the most severely ill patients. Dr. Morrissey emphasized that a number of questions remain about the appropriate uses of the extraordinary technological capability of the colonoscope. "We need studies to answer the question in specific instances, for example. should we perform polypectomies now that we possess the capability? The long range impact on health. such as reduction of cancer or increase in longevity has not yet been answered." Dean John Naughton spoke to the "Gut Club" about "Social Policy and Medical Education - 1976." His theme centered on the legislated changes which culminated in the formation of the Health Professions Assistance Act of 1976. He jokingly asked. "assistance to whom?" The presentation stressed that no longer will the federal government subsidize medical schools and medical education without attesting to a quid pro quo. For the next three years receipt of capitation support will be tied to three requirements: 1. The recruitment of a federally mandated quota of students into the National Health Service Corps; 2. The development of clinical training opportunities for American students enrolled in foreign medical schools (COTRAJ\:S Program); and 3. a redislribution of graduate training positions so that 50 per cent are assigned to the primary care specialties of internal medicine, pediatrics and family medicine by 1980. This requirement cannot be met by reducing the number of other graduate medical positions supervised by a school of medicine. Dr. Naughton further stressed the unified goal of the governmental and private sectors to contain the overall costs of health care by restricting the health industries' share of the gross national product. This is currently fixed at a level of 8,3 to 9.1 per cent of the GNP on about 120 billion dollars a year. This will be accomplished through supplementation of PSRO's, Utilization Review and a reduction of many services including the number of hospital beds.

The Friends can look to an active membership of 194 from all branches of the Health Sciences community. Forty-four gifts of scientific publications and historical publications have been received; four of these have been specially notable collections. During the Sprmg of 1976, communications were established with Or. Kenneth Eckhert with regard to establishing the Health Information Dissemination Service as an integral part of Health Systems Agency. At the Annual Meeting at the Buffalo Academy of Medicine Room on 20 October 12 1976, Dr. Robert L. Brown, former Associate Dean of the School of Medicine. presented an outstanding exhibit of the Archives and Artifacts of the University of Buffalo School of Medicine. The guest speaker for the evening was Or. Oliver P. Jones, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, who gave a paper entitled "A Medical Student's Impression of Our First Faculty, 1848-1849." The discussion was brisk and informative. Plans were made to have a bronze casting of the death mask of Roswell Park. MD. The activities of the Friends for the academic year 1976-1977 were outlined. Sincere!}. RONALD E. BATT, MD, 1958 (President, Friends. Health Scwnces L1bror.L.,_ SUNYAR 1975-76.) 0 TilE BUFFALO PHYSIC!,\;-.; �T HE SENECA NATION honored Dr. Marcelline S. Doctor as its "woman of the year" recently. She is a 1976 Medical School graduate, and is on a six-year residency at Millard Fillmot·e Hospital. "I know that I am the Seneca woman trained as a physician," said Dr. Doctor. She is a graduate of Gowanda Central School and her family still lives near Gowanda. "My interest is plastic surgery, especially related to burns and hand traumas (restoring severed fingers and otherwise treating damaged hands)," she said. "Women physicians used to be a rarity, and women surgeons still are." A woman member of the Seneca Indian Nation who is a graduate physician and surgeon is unique. Medical training was a late decision for the 29-year-old single physician. In 1970 she earned her bachelor of science degree from Long Island University. The next two years she worked in the New York-area medical laboratory doing chemical analyses. Several of her friends urged her to go to medical school. She applied to several and was accepted at U/ 8. Her training was paid for by the Seneca Nation, the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs and the State. Dr. Doctor has been under pressure to become a familypractice physician. "It is a hard decision for me, but 1 wasn't interested in family practice and what good would I be doing something 1 didn't want?" As a medical student she shared special problems with other Indians across the nation. "They had pressures and customs to overcome. I became a member of the Native American Medical Student Association. We help each other with our social and emotional problems. Now I belong to the Association of American Indian Physicians. There are about 100 of us," Dr. Doctor said. The physician is still very much a Seneca Indian, proud of her heritage and anxious to preserve it. "1 am a traditional person and I believe in the reservation life. That is all we Senecas have and if the reservation goes, then we as a people disappear. I don' t want to see our people acquire values where the family and the home become less important and keeping up with the )oneses becomes more important." In spite of her busy schedule she manages to visit her family once a month. "I do plan to remain in this area because it is my home. And I will continue to talk to young people about medical education." 0 SUMMER, 1977 13 Woman Surgeon Is Seneca Indian Dr. Doctor �is one of the most volatile issues in the medical profession today. Physicians are concerned with the rapidly increasing number of malpractice suits, skyrocketing insurance premiums, the fact that less insurance IS available as insurance companies desert states with high claim rates and finally, the rising cost of health care in general." Physicians are becoming increasingly vocal in protesting these conditions and the legal system which allows them to flourish. Until very recently. medical malpractice has been a subject virtually ignored in medical publications. Genevieve Miller's extensive Bibliography of the History of Medicine in the United States and Canada, 1939-1960 as well as bibliographic publications of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare contain no references to malpractice. An~ discussion of malpractice in historical studies was limited to descriptions of charlatans practicing "hydropathy, chronothermalism, mesmerism," including "herb doctors, faith healers (and) indianopathists." '"The medical ignorance of a rural populace made it easy for quacks to take advantage of "a deep-lying instinct in human nature that relief from suffering is an obtainable goal."• There is no doubt. however, that malpractice has become an issue of national importance in recent years. Presently, 18,000 malpractice suits are filed annually at a cost of S300.000,000 in insurance premiums to cover them. Premiums for physicians other than surgeons increased 540.8Cit between 1960-1970. and those for surgeons increased 949.2o/c. • In New York State, the average cost of a malpractice claim awarded by a judge or jury or sellled outof court rose from $6,000 in 1965 to $23,400 in 1975. The recent increases in outside awards ($1 million or more) has increased New York State physicians' insurance premiums to $776 annually in specialties such as psychiatr~ to S14,329 in high risk specialties such as orthopedics.' These statistics are indicative of the seriousness of the malpractice situation and of the reasons why objective observers do not hesitate to call it a crisis situation. Individual physicians and organizations such as the American Medical Association have strong opinions regarding the origins of the current rise in malpractice suits. Most of these opinions are directed against lawyers and the legal system. Dr. Max H. Parrot, past president of the A.M.A., has identified the cause of the hostility between the two professions as being rooted in the fact that "medicine is a prospective profession, whereas law is a retrospective profession" 1" i.e .. the attorneyand his client view in hindsight decisions made by physicians under entirely different circumstances. Doctors resent what they consider the avarice of individual lawyers. but more importantly, the system of contingenc~ fees in malpractice cases. Under this system, the lawyer receives onethird to one-half of the court award if he wins, and nothing if he loses.n With the advent of no-fault automobile insurance, doctors feel that these two factors have combined to produce lawyers who exploit malpractice cases. "Some of the shabby and unethical tricks used for decades in soliciting auto-negligence cases are now being used for malpractice."• Physicians have also found the legal system antiquated in view of the crisis situation which now exists. Lengthy statutes of T HE MALPRACTICE CRISIS Malpractice Crisis by Paula J. Batt Miss Batt attended Calasonctius Preparatory School and was graduated from Nichols School in June, 1976. She now attends Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. and plans to become on attorney. 0 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �limitations, non-existent damage ceilings, and a jury system in which awards are influenced by emotion are prime examples.• Doctors are also working for the elimination of the "ad damnum" clause in lawsuits, which specifies the requested dollar amount of the award, and the "res ipsa loquitur" provision, which allows injury alone to be presented as a basis for negligence. " Aside from technicalities, Professor Jeffrey O'Connell, professor of law at the Universit} of Illinois, finds that "the tort system, by which injured patients can sue physicians for negligence and collect vast sums for intangible suffering, is the true culprit." " Doctors and medical societies realize that the improved technology of recent years has brought with it greater risks. However, the correspondingly higher expectations of the public have evolved into a new social philosophy. "Society, which once limited awards to patients who could prove negligence. now is inclined to reimburse every patient for any adverse result or unavoidable accident that occurs in the course of medicaltreatment.'' 13 Dr. Ralph Argen, past president of the Erie Count)- Medical Societ}. echoes this theme in noting that ours is a "litigationconscious era" in which patients are extreme!} knowledgeable about their medical rights and some, indeed. expect guaranteed results. Or. John 0. Naples, Jr., a Buffalo gynecologistobstetrician,"•• is especially concerned that complications which may be common to a particular medical problem are now often construed as malpractice. He adds that "the doctor is being accused of not making perfect something that was not perfect to begin with, and may not be capable of being made perfect." Both Dr. Argen and Or. Naples enjoy close rapport with their patients. Or. Naples feels that, while not taking any excessive measures, he and his partner have definitely become more conscious of the increases in malpractice litigation and have taken precautionary steps to prevent any misinterpretation of their work. "All of us are trying to prepare for every eventuality, and every eventuality is skyrocketing in cost... This extensive documentation and discussion of each case is a source of major concern to Dr. Naples. He finds that the time wasted in bureaucracy has three main effects: primarily. il detracts from time available for actual patient care. He also notes that it is possible to minimize the patient's immediate, serious problem in the midst of explaining and documenting trivialities. Finally, Or. Naples fears that excessive emphasis on far-reaching consequences of relatively common procedures may frighten or confuse patients to an unnecessary degree. In contrast, Dr. Argen finds only a "slight element of defensive medicine" among the doctors he has encountered. lie feels that malpractice suits result from cases in which the doctor and patient do not have a long-standing relationship. In his own practice, Or. Argen has not appreciably increased his precautionary measures in treating familiar patients. Both Dr. Argen and Dr. Naples concur with Dr. John Q. Curlin, a Buffalo internist. that the present malpractice crisis may produce "a more careful offense against disease," as Dr. Curtin stated. Undoubtedly a few patients will benefit from the especially cautious atmosphere, but these three doctors are understandably reluctant to carry precauSU\1MER. 1977 15 d- �tion to the extent that it seriously hinders their ability to provide effective and efficient medical care. As is shown in the previous examples, individual physicians have differing responses to the malpractice crisis v~ hich often vary according to specialty. However, there are man~ factors in the malpractice crisis which affect patient care in almost every specialty. The effects of these factors can inhibit and even damage present and future medical practices. Under the threat of lawsuits, many doctors practice what is commonly called defensive medicine. Professor William Curran. professor of legal medicine at Harvard University, interprets a recent Washington State Supreme Court ruling to mean that a "physician who doesn't perform a test for a condition becomes. in legal terminology, a guarantor against that condition." In addition to extensive testing in fairly routine cases, some physicians now refuse to perform high-risk procedures. • Norman S. Blackman, M.D .. president of the Kings County, New York Medical Society. calls this "negative" defensive medicine; doctors quietly refuse to take cases which might result in a suit. "You do what's legally indicated, not what's morally indicated." Some effects of the increasing practice of defensive medicine are obvious: the loss or limitation of highly specialized medical services in some cases. Recent studies have also produced evidence that excessive and/or unnecessary testing procedures can be dangerous: X-rays, for example.• As always, the cost of extra procedures and hospitalization is astronomical: the estimated cost of defensive medicine in the United States is between $3 and $7 billion dollars annually. 5 The malpractice crisis has affected the services of the nation's younger doctors. Newly practicing physicians find themselves faced with astonishing insurance premiums as well as the usual overhead expenses involved in establishing a practice! Those in high-risk specialties, such as anesthesiology and neurosurgery, are forced to pay especially high premiums at the crucial beginning of their careers. Those still in training may find their study seriously hampered by malpractice insurance stipulations. Medical training requires on-the-job experience and questions are now being raised concerning legal liability in these situations. • Practicing physicians also find that their services may be limited by malpractice considerations. Doctors with small or parttime practices cannot pass insurance premium increases on to their patients, and often their salaries are too limited to absorb these increases.% Many doctors with teaching and/or administrative positions cannot afford to maintain small practices. Dr. Rosamond Kane, the director of the Children's Foot Clinic at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, maintained a small practice in Rye. New York until she was forced to abandon it. Or. Kane had to inform her patients that an increase in her insurance premium to $14,000 a year would force her to add $54 per office charge to cover her expenses.' Her case is an example of the many physicians who are seeking refuge from the constant threat of lawsuits in government research and teaching positions - a potentially serious loss of physicians actively involved in patient care.u 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �\, The present malpractice crisis has also had a detrimental effect on the more peripheral areas of medical practice. Besides refusing to perform newer. high-risk procedures. the 1973 Federal Commission on Malpractice stated that some physicians will not publish adverse effects of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in medical journals for fear of providing lawyers with information against them in malpractice lawsuits. especially those concerning experimental cases.• Also, the escalating insurance costs resulting from the crisis limit the ability of doctors to provide free community services and emergency service in the event of a physicians' strike or slow-down. Theoretically. physicians are able to deliver emergency care without fear of liabilit) under the Good Samaritan Act. However. in the tense atmosphere of possible challenges to this act, many doctors are apprehensive about risking liability in such situations.' AI least two good effects of the present situation should be noted here. Doctors now make sure that patients are thoroughly informed about and fully consent to any proposed procedures. 11 Also. medical societies are beginning to keep a closer check on their members$ to eliminate the 5o/c of all United States physicians estimated to be incompetent by Dr. Malcolm Todd, president of the American Medical Association. Finally, many observers note that the famous "conspiracy of silence" designed to protect the profession from the mistakes of a few. is coming to an end as physicians become increasing!~ more willing to testify against incompetent colleagues. In regard to the effect of the malpractice crisis on medical standards, the Health, Education and Welfare Secretary's Commission on Medical Malpractice "tended toward the conclusion that the tort liability system fails to deter much medical malpractice. "u This statement supports doctors and medical associations who assert that the malpractice situation most severely affects the most highly-skilled and the most compassionate physicians. with a resulting decrease in the quality of medical care available to the American public.• Finally. it is impossible to estimate not only the toll of the crisis on the unjustly-accused physician, but the cost in terms of the quality of patient care rendered by doctors harassed and worried about excessive malpractice litigation. Drs. Naples, Argen and Curtin agree that it is difficult to pinpoint the origins of the crisis, but they are unanimous in their opinion that both the doctor and the patient suffer from the malpractice situation. 0 BIBLIOGRAPHY 1. 1\rgen, Rolph J., M.D..

Pediatric Education T here is a new look to the Pediatric Education Program at the Medical School and Children's HospitaL Architect of the new Program is Dr. Stanley Levin. who joined the Faculty last summer {1976), as Director of Pediatric Medical Education and Professor of Pediatrics. He has four Programs going simultaneously - a Junior Pediatric Clerkship, a Senior Pediatric Elective and a ResidenC) Inservice Training Program. In addition, Dr. Levin runs a Postgraduate Training Program, and has scheduled three Continuing Medical Education Programs in April, May and june for Pediatricians in the area. "My major responsibility is to plan and provide training programs for students in Pediatrics. We have developed a broad and effective Clerkship Program for the 145 Juniors. They are divided into 7 groups of about 21 students each and spend 6 weeks in Pediatrics at Children's, Buffalo Mercy or E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospitals. We have set up a planned curriculum for the first time 20 that includes lectures by faculty members as well as giving ample time for the students to work with clinical material on the wards. In addition, they will attend two workshops one on mental retardation at the Heritage School with Dr. Donald Kerr Grant, and another with Dr. Robert Warner on the rehabilitation of the physically handicapped," he said. ,\fare Daniels. junior medico/ student. ~·ll!eosrs .... ~.~ ...,lt'01£ :lt~:t>' �Dr. Levin pointed out that another innovation of the Program was sending Junior Medical Students to private physicians' offices to observe how Pediatrics is practiced outside of a Hospital setting. He also mentioned the extensive audio-visual library and the computer terminal where students can play "clinical" games. In this latter selling, the computer presents medical problems for the student to work-up and diagnose.

The Professor of Pediatrics is also introducing Pediatrics into the Fifth Pathway Program. "We hope to have nine weeks of Pediatric training (six weeks on the wards and three weeks in ambulatory clinics) for these American medical students who have completed their education in foreign medical schools before returning to the States." Dr. Levin and the Chief Resident, Dr. Gilbert Rose, have also planned an ongoing two to three year in-service training program for Residents. This new program includes a curriculum comprising a series of planned lectures as well as an extensive course in emergency pediatrics. Dr. Levin does not get a chance to forget the clinical side of Pediatrics. as he attends as a teacher on various wards at the Children's Hospital with Residents and Students and meets almost dail} with the Senior Residents for discussions on interesting and problematical cases. Dr. Levin is on leave from the Kaplan Hospital in Rehovot. Israel, where he is Professor of Pediatrics at the Hebrew University Medical School and at the Tel Aviv University Medical School. His major interest, besides Clinical Pediatrics and teaching, is Immunology, and he is the head of a large Pediatric Research Laboratory where he and his co-workers are studying the Immune System in Newborns and Children with various diseases. 0 ETERANS DAY.

This 6,700 square foot area on two levels of Farber Hall is the Health Science Learning Resource Center. This facility provides faculty and students of the Health Sciences an opportunit} to identify. select or develop, and validate new approaches to teaching and learning, according to Or. Thomas E. Burford. He is associate director of the Health Sciences Learning Resources Center. ''Specific emphasis is placed on the selection and development of audio visual material for lecture support. selfinstructional or independent study programs," Or. Burford said. On the lower level there is a quiet study space area for 35 students and three media seminar rooms equipped with still visual projection, motion picture visual media. audio playback/record media, and computer assisted instruction. The upper level is for instructional materials demonstration and development, conference and office space and a multi-media independent study or self-instructional carrel area. This area serves faculty and students who want to examine and experim ent with newer forms of instructional materials. It also serves as models fo r stimulating interest in developing similar materials that are tailor made for their needs. Such demonstration materials include standard multi-media programs in cassette tape, slide or filmstrip with audio cassette (with or without auto24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �\ I ] sync) and video cassettes. There is also full color microfische programs with audio cassette and structured student response workbooks and computer assisted instruction demonstration programs. Ms. Meryl McNeal, director of the learning skills development office, assists with the daily operation of the center. She has hired eight health science students through the work-study program. They work 15 hours a week and receive $2.65 per hour. The center is open 79 hours each week. The voluntary sign-in sheet reveals that there are at least 50 student hours of self instruction daily. Dean J. Warren Perry of the School of Health Related Professions has provided funds for two students in neurophysiology. Other on-going courses that ""''ere given audiovisual self-instructional support during the fall semester were respiratory physiology, anatomy, histology and pathology. Dr. Burford said there were two computer terminals for demonstration and experimentation for computer assisted instruction. Dr. Arthur Steele, clinical instructor in medicine, has developed and is testing a computer assisted program in diseases of the thyroid. Dr. Harry Sultz and his staff has developed and is testing 10 audio visual self-instruction units in epidemiology at the center. Dr. Sultz is professor and acting chairman of the department of social and preventive medicine. Dr. Burford indicated that priority for use of the media seminar rooms will be given to Health Sciences professors who are either using one or more forms of media in their seminars or conferences or are interested in developing media for this purpose. 0 Multl-meclio instructional materials developed to support Dr. Beverly Bishop's courses in neurophysiology. l I Students use the Burges audio 'rutoriol systems to review lectures . �Drs. Solkoff. A/le n (righi J Genocide: A Psychological/ Historical Approach Dr. Solkoff. while on sabbatical lost fall, taught a course on genocide at Queens College with historian Andrew Whiteside, who is an expert on Austrian antisemitism. As a psychologist, he has always been interested in all forms of human behavior. But Dr. Norman Solkoff's particular interest is that of violence. its psychological elements, and the search for a model by which to predict and thereby prevent it. It was therefore not surprising that the professor of psychology in the department of psychiatry would one day find himself painfully exploring Nazi genocide, an event not having its equal in modern history. But that he would do so with U/ B historian William S. Allen, through one of the most unique courses offered. is. Since age 10, Or. Solkoff recalls a morbid awareness that a civilized nation like Germany could launch a genocidal war against a small ethnic minority. But eluding all psychological investigations has been identity of a mediating link. one that would explain the leap from attitude and prejudice as in antise mitism to that of genocide. No discipline in psychology, Or. Solkoff points out, has successfully explained it. "While descriptions abound, we are shor t of explanations," he added. Recalling that the more he thought about it, especially in terms of a model for understanding his own Jewishness and the way he perceived others to feel towards those of his faith, the more troubled he became. "How one learns the lessons of history determines the way an individual will respond to a similar depressing situation," he cautioned. 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �\ J 1 Musing over the problem one day. at someone's suggestion that he talk to Dr. William S. Allen, a great teacher/expert on Nazi Germany, Dr. Solkoff did. (Both have earned University teaching awards). They talked, they questioned. "Can we mobilize and combine our two disciplines in some meaningful way to consider alternative explanatory models to understand genocide?" While Dr. Solkoff needed to learn a lot of history. Dr. Allen lacked a psychological perspective to his studies. What better way to gain this knowledge than through a course on the holocaust, one never before taught by two disciplines at a university level? Two hundred students agreed. Most who signed up were juniors. While some were history majors, more were psychology students. There was a sprinkling from Judaic studies. medicine and other disciplines as well. Meeting three times a week. they heard didactic lectures. open dialogue. films, and a bit on the law by a jurist. While Dr. Allen offered historical explanations on what happened during this unprecedented event. Or. Solkoff tried to provide psychological ones to explain a particular type of behavior. Students were restless. But they were also excited. Admits Or. Solkoff, "there are no pat formulas. We may never have them." But he points to a beginning. "a fitting of something together to explain genocide." Students now know a little about history. he said. "They have learned to respect a critical historical analysis of the enormous complexities one faces when dealing with predictions on human behavior. And they have also learned something about the educative process - the importance of considering the historical/political/social milieu of a particular period under study." It was a learning process for Drs. Solkoff and Allen as well. For it gave them an opportunity to apply the former's ps).chological model for predicting violence to "something screaming for this type of approach." Succinctly put by Dr. Allen, "when a historian studies this particular period in history. he has limits to his craft. Needed is a model for stimuli to violent behavior, one that emphasizes cues. For in Nazi Germany, visual symbolism played an enormous role in its rise as well as operation." Not only do both instructors now have a better understanding of this particular period in history, and hope to collaborate on a book, but on an article on this first university course that combines two disciplines as well. When they offer the course again, there will be changes. Not only do they seek more integration at each lecture of the historical/psychological aspects on genocide but more emphasis on its methodology. As Dr. Allen puts it, "perhaps where the historical must break away from the descriptive and come up with something prescriptive. For it is more important to prevent than to cure." 0 SUMMER, 1977 27 �t ' Dr. Gidney 0 ETERM1:-.iATION A\,0 HARD WORK has paid off for a 1976 Medical School graduate. Dr. Betty M. Gidney is in the first ~ear of her psychiatry residenq at the E.) r..teyer Memorial Hospital. The 37-year-old mother of two daughters read many books and articles about people who had achieved success through hard work and study. "I decided I had the ability and desire to improve my !if e style." After graduating from high school Dr. Gidney married and started working at various jobs that ranged from dish.,\·asher and cook to secretar} and clerk. She also volunteered Cor several nonpaying jobs to gain additional experience. During lunch breaks she would learn to operate various office machines. All this led to a job as secretary for the marketing vice president at Buffalo China. Six months later she took a clerical position at CurtissWright Corporation because the salary was better. "Whenever I changed jobs. it "';as because I \\-anted to impro\.'e myself financiall}. and provide a better life style for my family." ' Or. Gidney said. In 1963 at the age of 24, she enrolled in the evening division of Millard Fillmore College at U/B. After attending night school for three years. while working a full-time job during the da~. she dropped out of school to help support her famiJ~. She was out of school three years and worked at three jobs. "In 1968 I returned to night school for three more ~ears. while continuing to work during the day. 1 \'\"ould get up at 4 a.m. and do my homework and many times 1 didn't get back in bed until after midnight the next day," Or. Gidney said. In September of 1971 she enrolled in day school at U/ 8 to complete her requirements for her degree and complete the prerequisites for medical school. In the fall of 1972 at the age of 33 Dr. Gidney started her medical career. "During m} first year in medical school I received some educational loans and grants so I did not have to work.'' After the first year of medical school Dr. Gidne} dropped out and worked because she had divorced her husband. She also enrolled in a modeling school and graduated a professional model. During her residency Dr. Gidne~ has become imolved in community affairs. She has participated in organizational meetings of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and BUILD. "A well rounded person must be aware and be involved in all aspects of programs that have some effects on his life. I am working to become well anchored in programs designed to improve the life styles of all people. I want to be a part of those decisions rather than letting all decisions that affect my life be made by other persons," Or. Gidney said. 0 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �\ \ The Class of 1926 Celebrates It was a gala affair for the 35 members of the 1926 class who celebrated their ~Oth reunion in June. ll was an opportunity to renew old acquaintances and to see the new Amherst Campus. Another 36 members of previous classes also attended. The reunion chairman, Dr. L. Edgar Hummel, a retired physician from Eden, received a special diploma for his service and teaching. He presented the U/B Foundation checks totaling $1,925 as a class gift. Dr. Hummel is a clinical associate professor of medicine, emeritus and former director of the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. He received his M.D. from Harvard ~tedical School in 1931. He served on the Medical School faculty from 1938 to 1973 when he retired. Dr. Hummel remarked that as a freshman in 1922, his class welcomed the inauguration of Dr. Samuel P. Capen as Chancellor. He served in that post 28 years. Dr. Albert Somit, executive vice president. accepted the gift for use in the undergraduate library. He also inducted members of the Class of 1926 as alumni in the U/B Alumni Association. The 35 people who attended the reunion represented onethird of the surviving members of the 1926 class, which originally numbered about 400.

Clinical sppciol1st Mass Screening for Hypertension It 1s o bus} rio}' for clinical specialist llt:llmon . M ASS SCREENING AND TREATMENT for hypertension by nonphysicians is now underway in a new clinic just opened cighl months ago at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Buffalo. lL is one of 32 set up nationally by Veterans Administration to seek alternate ways to lower the high cost of health care as well us potentia] lethal complications from this major public health problem in the untreated. As revealed in a recenl national survey, high blood pressure afflicts about 20 percent in this country, with a large proportion unaware that they have it. And only half of those who do know it are being effectively managed by drugs. Of those who remain untreated. the cost in terms of potential complications - heart attacks. kidne}' failure. strokes- remains high. Because the disease is almost ah\ays symptomfree. the only way to detect it is to measure blood pressure. Through an inflated cuff placed over an arm and a stethoscope reading. both systolic: pressure and diastolic pressure are revealed. Heading hypertension program activities at VAH is Dr. Theodore S. Herman. He notes that in the new hypertension clinic that is open five days a week from 8 a.m. lo 4:30 p.m., over 2,500 veterans have alread} been seen by two nonphysicians. One is Rosemary Hellman. Highly skilled in screening and managing her patients, she holds a master's degree in nursing and has completed intensive training in history-taking and physical examination. The other Ls Patricia Reid. A health technician, she has been specially trained in taking blood pressures and hypertensiverelated histories. If. on screening a patient, they note the pressure is over 140/90, the patient is checked on at least two other occas10ns. And if the elevation remains sustained, the patient is scheduled for a complete diagnostic workup. From this information. clinical specialist Hellman will make her evaluation of the problem. And if the patient is found to ha\'c a moderate to severe form of hypertension. weekly clinic appointments are set for followup treatment. Or the patient may elect to see his own physician. Miss Hellman notes that three to four patients are added weekly to her treatment program now underway in the h~ pertension clinic. With treatment of essential hypertension now pretty well defined, she has encountered few difficulties in managing her patients. In fact, only seven percent have been referred to Dr. Herman. "The assistant professor of medicine is always available for consultation," she said. Starting her patient on diuretics, she adds other drugs as needed. And, as monitoring reveals that a patient's blood pressure is brought under control. the time between clinic visits is lengthened. As a nephrologist, Dr. Herman is keenly aware of the role that kidney function plays in regulation of blood pressure. That is why he personally examines each clinic patient at least once during his first month of treatment. And it ma} well be the ke~ to the clinic's emerging role as a center for primary care of those with 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN ' �1 ' essential hypertension. "Because we see patients on a regular basis, we are able to care for all of their medical problems," Dr. Herman said. While all veterans treated in the free clinic are seen by appointment - at minimal waiting time - others are free to stop in on a first come, first served basis, to have their blood pressures checked, he added. Miss Hellman points to the role a patient plays in controlling his own blood pressure. "Instructed on the need to restrict salt intake. to lose weight if obese, and to stop drinking/smoking, he is also informed on what to expect during initial stages of treatment, and to call - a card listing clinic phone number is given him should questions or problems arise at any time." she said. Concern for patient compliance/dropout has not only led to a medical student initiated socio-economic questionnaire that reveals interesting insight into patient response. but followup b> the clinic reminds a patient on a missed appointment, etc. And teaching, lots of it. is also underway. Under a Universit> program, medical students are gaining insight into problems of hypertension in the new clinic as well as from weekly hypertension rounds. Student nurses are also learning about ambulatory care for those with high blood pressure. "And," adds Dr. Herman, "as part of a University-wide Renal Program. we are sharing our knowledge on hypertension." Added insight into essential hypertension will also result from studies soon to begin in a new hypertension ward being set up at YAH. Is mass screening/treatment for hypertension by these nonphysicians working? Noting the program at YAH to be but eight months old, Dr. Herman is quick to point to identification of many who were unaware that they had hypertension, and routine treatment for those who may not be able to afford it. "Rosemary is seeing lots of severe hypertensives," he said, "and she is treating them as outpatients. More veterans are being screened and managed by her than would have been possible by a parttime physician," he continued. And, without the clinic, he is certain that subsequent hospitalization for complications of the disease in the untreated would have been costly indeed. 0 Leornmg abou1 the effects of hypertension . ..

Meyer Memorial Hospital and the Erie County Health Department. Students see patients at the pediatric outpatient department of the hospital and at two community clinics - the Jesse Nash Health Center on William Street, and the Buffalo Family Care Center located in the old School 84. Dr. Henry P. Staub, associate professor of pediatrics at the Medica] School directs the hospital's pediatric program. He is assisted by five attending physicians plus house staff.

At each clinic session the student works with a pediatrician preceptor and with a house officer, who always checks the patient to provide continuity and to assure quality care." Dr. Staub stressed the major emphasis during the junior year is on teaching the fundamentals of pediatrics and experience with hospitalized children. "The exposure to ambulatory care is not designed to substitute for such an experience in the senior year but rather to provide greater depth to what the student learns in his junior year. Modern pediatrics is one of the specialties which can diagnose and treat major problems in children without admitting them to the hospital. Furthermore, preventive care which is now recognized as one of the important aspects of pediatric care, is best taught in an ambulatory setting rather than at the bedside." The children seen in the three clinics present a good cross section of pediatric practice from the well child to one with an acute illness.

Pediatric specialty clinics concentrate on allergy. skin diseases, neurology. and surgery. The goal of the clinics, according to Dr. Staub. are to provide primary health care for its patients and the eventual reduction in the incidence of disease to the level experienced by the middle class population. "For third year students the three clinics offer a rare opportunity in continuous patient care. The student is often the first to see the child. He meets, listens, and talks to the parents or whoever accompanies the child. If the child needs to be admitted, the medical student will follow him through hospitalization and will be involved in all procedures including surgery, and will finally discharge him," Dr. Staub said. Dr. Staub joined the Medical School faculty in 1970. In March he was named to the Goodyear Chair. He came from the University of Minnesota where he held joint appointments in the Schools of Medicine and Public Health. Dr. Staub was born in Berlin in 1919. He came to the United States in 1941, received his A.B. degree from Augsbery College in 1943, and his citizenship the following year. He received his B.S. in Medicine in 1945 from the University of North Dakota and his M.D. from the University of Illinois in 1947. 0 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Noise Damages Ears, Nerves "N oise damages the ears and upsets your whole physiology. It wrecks nerves and causes gastro-intestinal disturbances:· says Dr. Irwin A. Ginsberg, clinical associate professor of otolaryngology and anatomical sciences. Dr. Ginsberg is a J 944 Medical School graduate, and chief of otology at the Buffalo General Hospital. "There used to be a feeling and there probably is a grain of truth to it, that some people lose hearing as a natural manifestation of age. But now we know, because of the difference in hearing acuity of people who live in quiet spots as against those in noisy ones, that exposure to noise does make a difference. "Until they were made to wear protective ear plugs, sailors on aircraft carriers had a high rate of hearing loss. Some people's ears are more brittle than others and some noises are more damagmg than others. There are differences in diet and genetics between people in the quiet spots of the world and the large cities, but there is a relationship between hearing losses and exceedingly noisy environments," Dr. Ginsberg said. Heavy industry is being asked to spend millions of dollars to lower noise levels to protect workers' hearing. But in their free time, these same workers and thousands of their fellow men and women flock into restaurants and nightclubs where the noise level is at least as high as it is in heavy industry. Dr. Ginsberg sees the overloud music as just another part of a culture of excesses. "We have to take everything in massive quantities: food, liquor and music," the physician-educator said. "Kids are really damaging their ears and the danger is even greater for the people who play in those over-amplified orchestras and for the waitresses and bartenders who work alongside of them. The hearing of a worker in a forge plant is protected by law, but there is no enforcement of the law to protect the hearing of the night club employee. Those who allow noise levels of 120 decibels in their restaurants or at their private party are breaking the law as surely as any industrial concern," Dr. Ginsberg said. "I am not concerned with the noise of the Concorde jets because of the relatively short period of time anyone will be exposed to the noise. 1 am more concerned about people who spend four or five hours every night in the presence of over-amplified sound." 0 Sl 1MMER. 1977 �Soviet Cardiac Care Dr. Klocke C oronary bypass surgery is less sophisticated in the So\iet Union than in the United States. But Emergency care available to a heart-attack victim in Moscow nvals the best available in the States. These are two observations of Dr. Francis J. Klocke. professor of medicine and head of the division of cardwlogy at the E.j. Meyer Memorial Hospital. He was on a 10-day visit with six other United States heart specialists to learn about the treatment of heart disease in the Soviet Union. "Heart disease is a major problem in the U.S.S.R. and specialized care available in hospital cardiac units is comparable in both countries," Dr. Klocke said. "The biggest difference is that our country has paid more attention to the natural history or epidemiology or ischemic disease. I think this is the major thing we have to contribute lo them, our experience in these areas. The Russians are involved in clinica l trials with patients of new drugs that in the U.S. have been limited to use with laboratory animals," the medical educator said. He noted that while "the design of their trials would not be optimum from our point of view," American cardiologists will benefit from the information about the Russian studies. Dr. Klocke saw much American equipment used in the treatment of Russian heart patients. "One of the biggest differences between the two countries is in the relationship between the medical and surgical approaches to coronary heart disease. While the two have been closely related and evolved together in the· U.S., in the Soviet Union they have developed separately. Only now is there a concerted effort by the Russians to bring the two together." Dr. Klocke noted that the Russians' experience with coronary bypass surgery is "about three years" behind that of the U.S. "The early results of their work compares to our early results. but not comparable to our current results." One Russian innovation in the treatment of heart patients impressed Dr. Klocke. "When patients are discharged from the hospital they may spend a month at 'sanitoria,' which is a resort with controlled recreation. These resort areas are supplied by the equivalent of ou r trade unions as a kind of fringe benefit." The Russian heart specialists, like their U.S. counterparts. include control or risk factors as part of the treatment plan. They focus on control of diet, liquids, hypertension and smoking. Drugs of the nitrate family are major drugs of choice in both countries. In the U.S. as well as the U.S.S.R. the rate of interest and information about ischemic heart disease has quickened. Dr. Klocke believes there is more emphasis on prevention of heart disease in the U.S. than in the U.S.S.R. Noting an encouraging decline last year in U.S. deaths from heart disease. the heart specialist says it indicates that we may be caring better for the consequences of coronary artery disease and delaying its clinical manifestations in many people. "The public education program regarding heart disease in the U.S. has been emphasized more than any in Russia. Hypertension screenings and other similar programs here have also been an important part of our education program." 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Exchange of information about the treatment of \'arious diseases between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. has been a b~ product of detente of recent years. Dr Klocke participated in the recent exchange in his capacity as chairman of a policy advisory board on coronary artery surgery trials of the National Heart. Lung and Blood Institute. The Americans participated in a symposium in 1.vhich physicians from both countries presented reports and visited facilities in Mosco\'\ and Leningrad. While the~ spent considerable time at the Myasnikov Institute in MoscO\'\', which focuses on heart disease, the> were not shown the equivalent of an American general hospital. The limited itinerary on the recent trip was determined by the Russians. 0 A 1961 Medical School graduate is unique. Dr. Wende Westinghouse Logan is one of the few women radiologists in the country who specializes in breast cancer detection. Her husband. Dr. Jonathan Logan. a 1961 graduate of U/ B. is a Rochester pediatric allergist. Her father, Dr. Walter D. Westinghouse, is a 1931 Medical School graduate, and her brother, Dr. Walter D. Jr .. graduated in 1964. Her maternal great-grandfather, Dr. Ernest Wende, was commissioner of the old City of Buffalo Health Department in the early 1900s, and her paternal greatgrandfather, Dr. George Westinghouse, was one of the department's "district physicians" during the same period. "There is a crying need for more radiologists to concentrate on breast cancer detection. Most radiologists have little contact with a woman suspected of having breast cancer," Dr. Logan said. For the last 10 years she has been on the University of Rochester Medical School faculty. She has been working under a grant from the National Institutes of Health on developing a new thermography technique which would cut costs to physicians and patients. "Breast cancer is a very complex problem. £t can behave in a number of different ways, depending on the person and the tumor. Because of the differences 1 will not automatically take breast X-rays of each patient. I concentrate on taking a medical history and an examination of the breasts. I also use ultra sound which utilizes sound waves and thermography which measures heat generation and reveals regions of greater heat where breast cancer might be found. I don't do a mammogram on any woman unless her doctor feels it should be done." Recently Dr. Logan was one of two radiologists who tested a new X-ra; film developed and now sold by Eastman Kodak Company which cuts the amount of radiation required to one-tenth. ln addition she has a mammography unit which uses a "microfocal" radiation source and further cuts radiation dosage by onetenth. 0 SUMMER, 1977 Dr. Wende �Dr. Caccamise A 1920 Medical School graduate is enjoying retirement in Jamestown. N.Y. after practicing more than 50 years in this community. Or. George F. Caccamise is the oldest of a family of four girls and five boys. Two of the brothers became physicians, one a dentist, one a pharmacist and one a farmer. The family landed in Buffalo after emigrating from Italy, moved to Fredonia, where George and his brothers and sisters grew up. "I had the idea I wanted to be an eye, ear. nose and throat man, but I moved to Jamestown after interning at Lafayette General Hospital, Buffalo and St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. I've done everything in Jamestown but pull teeth. My brother, James. who was a dentist, did that," Dr. Caccamise said. The 80-year-old physician was a student at U/8 during the 1918 influenza epidemic. "It was pneumonia after the flu that killed most of the people. We had nothing to treat them with except bed rest and a shot of whisky every couple of hours. A lot of people treated themselves with whisky, digitalis or tincture of belladona for their hearts. In a lot of cases it worked ... There was no sulfa or other wonder drugs to deal with inflammation of the lungs that caused death to pneumonia victims. "We had people all over the hospital - in the halls and storerooms. We were absolutely helpless and it was a terrible feeling. In the spring of 1919 the killer disease began to \'anish and soon disappeared," Or Caccamise said. He also did a good deal of surgery. ''I must have taken out 100 pounds of appendixes in my time and did many tonsillectomies." During the depression he did much of work on a "pay-mewhen-you-can" basis, which for the down-and-out meant never. After the depression he cancelled all outstanding bills. 0 The Goodyear Chair Dr. Henry P. Staub. associate professor of pediatrics and director of the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital's pediatric program. is the second physician to occupy the Goodyear Chair at U/B. Dr Staub joined the Medical School faculty in 1970. He recei\·ed his M.O. from the Universlly of Illinois in 1947. The Goodyear Chair was established in 1965 by an endov.ment. A. Conger Goodyear designated the Chair for a "professor of pediatrics in charge of a program of maternal and child health or for a professorship in a related field." George F. Goodyear and Mary Goodyear Kenefick, brother and sister of the grantor. are its trustees. Dr. John C. Dower was the first to occupy the Chair in 1968. He resigned from U/B in 1973. 0 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �T here was excitement as Dr. John Talbott questioned the first patient. "How do you feel? When did you first note muscle weakness? The illustrious clinician/teacher/editor had come to Buffalo to deliver the first lecture of an annual lectureship established in his name by former professional colleagues in Buffalo. From 1946 to 1959 he headed Buffalo General Hospital's department of medicine, left to become editor of JAMA from which he has since retired, and is now clinical professor of medicine at the University of Miami. In his earlier talk at the Buffalo General Hospital. Dr. Talbott reviewed 40 years of internal medicine. He was participating in rheumatology rounds specifically set up for his visit to Veterans Administration Hospital. Following a review of the patient's case history and therapy. Dr. Talbott took over. And in eliciting information from the patient that is so crucial to diagnosis, he revealed the "fine art" of medicine. "Have you ever had a skin problem?" he asked. "Yes," was the patient's response. Suspecting dermatomyositis, Dr. Talbott cautioned housestaff and students on the necessity of supporting this diagnosis by finding a skin lesion. An examination of the patient's elbow area revealed nodules of rheumatoid arthritis. "Yes," he agreed with housestaffers. "'These are tough cases to diagnose. Why else would you be presenting these particular patients to me?" After noting the excellent patient response to prednisone. he urged that this therapy be continued. Diagnosis? Perhaps some form of mixed connective tissue disease. he said. About the second patient, there seemed to be no histor~ of rheumatic disease. This, he found difficult to accept. he assured those at case presentation. "Any joint problem? he asked of the patient. ''When?" Patient findings. he said, point to atypical gouty arthritis. perhaps unexplained acute arthritis with low grade distress. ln his review of the importance of diagnosis and therapy, Dr. Ta lbott presented classical evidence for arthritis and the importance of a diagnosis based on clinical evidence as well as laboratory and X-ray findings. 0 SUMMER. !977 39 Dr. Talbott Dr. To/boll �Wyeth Award To Dr. Neter Or. Netl!r Or. Erwin Neter received the 1977 \Nyeth Award in clinical microbiology May 8 at the opening session of the 77th annual meeting of the American Societ} for Microbiolog: in 1'\ew Orleans. ASM President Harlyn 0. Halvorson made the presentation. Dr. Neter is professor of microbiolog} at the Medical School and professor of clinical microbiology 1n the department of pediatrics at Children's Hospital. He is also director of bacteriology at Children's Hospital and consultant bacteriologist at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. He has been on the C/B faculty since 1936. The Wyeth Award was established to honor distingutshed microbiologists identified with clinical microbiology. The award is based on "outstanding research accomplishments. clinical or non-clinical, leading to or forming the foundation for impot tant applications in clinical microbiology." The award consists of $1,000, a plaque, and expenses to the Societ} 's Annual Meeting. Dr. Neter is an internationally known and htghl} respected microbiologist, immunologist and pediatrician. His outstanding achievements in research were recognized earl) in his career with the award of the Universit} of Heidelberg's coveted gold medal before he came to Buffalo to work with Dr. Ernest Witebsky. "His 40 years of service, teaching. and research in clinical microbiology carry the hallmark of his uniqueness in approach to problems, his tremendous vitalit} in the execution of research, and his encyclopedic knowledge in microbiology and immunology. Before the specialty of clinical microbiolog) was recognized or well defined. Or. Neter was practicing his skills in the forefront of the field with membership in the American Board of Pathology and American Board of Microbiology. He has been honored as President of many professional groups. including the New York State Association of Public llealth Laboratories, the Central New York and Western New York Branches of the ASM, the Laboratory Section of the American Public Health Association. and the Medical Division of the Society of American Bacteriologists. His opinions and advice have been extensively sought as a consultant microbiologist, in the evaluation of the scientific work of his cohorts, and as an adviser to editors and publishers of a wide spectrum of professional journals. Dr. Neter is an enthusiastic and effective teacher. who has instructed and inspired many students and colleagues. For this and his other contributions, he was recent!) recognized b> his Alma Mater, the University of Heidelberg, with the presentation of an Honorary Doctorate of Medicine," according to Program citation. Dr. Neter has made numerous outstanding and original research contributions in his three major areas of interest: the etiology and diagnosis of disease, the chemotherap} of infections. and the characterization of endotoxins. These are critically and articulately displayed in more than 200 published manuscripts and many books, chapters, and review articles. Several of these remain as classic works in the literature. One, the recognition of certain sero-groups of Escherichia coli as leading causes of infectious and epidemic diarrhea, was a pioneering effort. At that -10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �time, 25 years ago, diarrhea among ne"\vborns and children occurred with a high morbidil) and mortality rate. Also. he was among the first to recognize the existence of a common antigen among Enterobacteriaceae. In his research, he has svstematicallv developed procedures that have permitted investig~tive tools t~> be applied in the clinJcal microbiology laboratory. Among these is the passive hemagglutination test. which permits the identification of enteric pathogens and the monitoring of humoral antibody responses in infected persons. Bestowing the Wyeth Award to Dr. Neter for h1s contributions to clinical microbiology is a formal recognitior. of what has long been known by his colleagues, associates, and friends, who have already personally recognized his limitless energy. great enthusiasm, and immeasurable wisdom, the program concluded. 0 Dr. Bannerman Dr. Bannerman Dr. Robin M. Bannerman, professor of medicine and pediatrics. and head of the division of medical genetics, has returned from a short study leave at the University of the West Indies (Kingston, Jamaica). He was visiting investigator in its medical research council laboratory that is supported by the British government as part of its overseas development program. Here, most activities (headed by Graham Serjeant} are devoted to the care and investigation ol patients with sickle cell anemia and related diseases. During his stay, Dr. Bannerman worked on one of the important variants of sickle cell disease. that of hemoglobin SC disease. Although those affected by this condition are often not anemic. they may suffer from occasional serious vascular complications. Through his investigation, he was able to point to some who hove an unexpected expansion of blood volume. This, he says, may contribute to their vascular problems and lead to altered views on treatment. While at the University of the West Indies. he worked in regular sickle cell clinics at the University hospital and observed other research projects. One important one centered on a prospective study of newborn Jamaican infants to determine manifestations of sickle cell disease at the beginning of life. Formerly regarded as unimportant. these new observations in Jamaica indicate how vital the> may be to diagnosis of this condition at birth. Says Dr. Bannerman. "it is satisfying to note that methods used to carry out newborn testing for sickle cell disease were pioneered by U/B's Dr. Michael Garrick." The associate professor of biochemistry and pediatrics works in the laboratory of l)r. Robert Guthrie, professor of microbiology and pediatrics. 0 SUMMER, 1977 41 �1-· r- ) Dr fenis (left] chocks the S~AC with Dr. Jane Kremt.ier.

Dr. Jenis pointed out that the patient whose blood sample is tested by SMAC will realize a substantial dollar savings. In addition. test results are issued faster, allowing quicker treatment by physicians. and shorter hospital stays for the patient.

Naughton, M.D. Dean, School of Medicine Dear Alumni and Alumnae The 1977 Class Reunion Gift Program was once again a gigantic success. 'fhe combined classes representing the past 50 years contributed $25.000. The bulk of these funds were designated for and are being used to upgrade the faculty and student facilities in the Department of Anatomical Sciences. Over the past year the School of Medicine has provided a high priority on its secondar> maintenance and rehabilitation efforts to this department. These efforts have resulted in redeveloping laboratories for the study of cellular anatomy. electron microscopy. and reproductive biology and upgrading of the enrivonment in the Gross Anatomy Laboratory. The Class Reunion Gifts will make it possible for the School to complete the equipping of these facilities. and will provide that impetus required to help our faculty perform at an optimal level. On behalf of the facult} and the School of Medicine I wish to thank you for your generosity. Sincere)~. John Naughton. M.D. Dean 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �T he past several years have brought an increasing awareness of the importance of a strong and purposeful Alumni organization by the Medical School administration and faculty and by our members. This is evidenced by the recent success of the audio-visual learning center in the old library area of the Medical School made possible by the Reunion Gift Program, and other concrete evidences of renewed alumni support; the close relationship of the Dean's office with the Alumni Governing Board and more significantly by the increasing number of alumni who contact the office with their inquiries, suggestions, and concerns, not only with regard to Alumni affairs but with concern about the Medical School itself. In the coming year the Governing Board hopes to foster the alumni participation in the Reunion Gift Program. and other means of support for the school and students: to involve the alumni more deeply in continuing Medical Education and enlarge your sphere of influence in the Medical School. I hope to persuade more of the younger alumni to actively join us. The recent trend to involvement of the students directly in the Medical School curriculum affairs is most noteworthy. ll then follows that when a student graduates he should not immediately be cut off from providing valuable input to the administration and faculty. Who is better able to advise our teachers how to prepare students to enter an ever-changing world of medical practice than those who have recently entered? It will be my privilege to represent you on the Alumni Governing Board and I solicit your interest and support.O A Message from Michael A. Sullivan, M'S3 President, Medical Alumni Association Dr. Sulln ·an FALL, 1977 3 �Or Heimann ucct~pts th~< "Disfrnguishud Alumni Award.'' Seated from the lr·ft Drs W Yt: rb~· /lln(~s. Sullrvun, l'annil/, Grcewicz. Spring Clinical Days S ports Medicine was the theme of the 40th annual Spring Clinical Days. Dr. Edmond Gicewicz, M'56, program chairman. said the program was designed for physicians. athletic coaches and trainers. The program emphasized the treatment of injuries. the psychology and physiology of sports. Measurement and Testing Df•on ,\'uughton Dean John Naughton noted the renewed interest and enthusiasm for the maintenance of physical fitness throughout life. He believes that regular physical activity benefits the rehabilitation of the uncomplicated myocardial infarction patient, and this has created a need to refine the methods for determining physical working capacity and for rendering advice on the performance of exercise. "During the past 20 years several investigators have reported techniques with which to measure physical fitness. The motor-driven treadmill has become the fastest measurement tool. but bicycle ergometers and steps are used as well. The principles employed emphasize that an exercise stress test should begin at a low threshold of energy expenditure in relation to the subject's anticipated peak working capacity. Workloads should be progressed incrementall)- and graduall)- until ~orne evidence of limitation has been achieved. End-point symptoms include abnormal phys1cal signs, abnormal ECG findmgs, attainment of a pre-determi~ed peak heart level or a subjective sensation expressed by the subJeCt that he should stop. For healthy subjects exhaustion is the comm?n end-point \\hereas for patients S)-mptoms such as chest pam, fatigue, dyspnea, and leg discomfort are the most common reasons offered for stopping tests." According to Dr. Naughton a comprehensive exercise stress test includes measurement of blood pressure, heart rate, multiple lead ECG and work capacity. "The latter is usually defined in terms of maximal or near maximal oxygen consumption. In clinical terms work capacity is often defined as METs. A single MET represents the millimeters rise per kilogram of body weight per minute in the relaxed resting stale (ml o2/kg/min). Its value ap4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA1 �proximates 3.5 mi. Thus, the subject who fatigues at a workloau of 21.5 ml o2/kg/min has a work capacity of 6 wlETs. and one who terminates a test at 42.0 ml o2/kg/min has a physical fitness of 12 METs. Testing protocol have been developed which make it possible to define the performance capacity of most individuals rather precisely." In the current state of development exercise stress tests arc used diagnostically, evaluatively and therapeutically. The results can be used to screen patients for further clinical investigation, counsel them about the wisdom of heavy physical work, evaluate the effects of certain pharmacologic and surgical interventions and/or to construct exercise prescriptions for the rehabilitant, Dean Naughton concluded. The head swimming coach at Indiana University pointed out that psychology comes first and physiology second Or. James Counsilman, coach of the 1976 United States Olympic swimming team, said he let the swimmers and their individual coaches determine their training routine during a five-week period. But Or. Counsilman did have daily meetings with all 27 swimmers and their coaches and was present during the workouts that included 20,000 meters of swimming a day. Or. Counsilman spoke of the East Germans' technique of isolating potential outstanding swimmers at an early age and sending them off to camps to develop. "The East Germans have done biopsies on swimmers' muscles and have determined that top performances are due to the muscular, rather than cardiopulmonar> system," he said "The United States will have to settle for a lot of bronze medals in future olympic games unless we change our training techniques. We have recommended to the Carter Admmistration that 50 olympic sports centers be built and financed h> the Federal Government to train athletes. When you have a group of athletes dPuriH'IpUOIS Ul FALL. 1977 llflf.• O( the St'SSICICJS 5 Sl•' \ P CJ Kup/un, Juhn Bode, me c/Jcul stutiPnts Training the Olympic Swimmer �together they motivate each other. train harder. and have better coaching. Training centers will help us compete with other nations of the world," Or. Counsilman said. "Performance levels in all athletic disciplines are improving every year because the athletes are bigger. stronger and healthier." Dr. Peter jokl, assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at the Yale University School of Medicine. sees this trend continuing in many sporting events. "More nutritious foods and better health standards plus the control of disease have also been contributing factors to athletic performance." Dr. jokl specializes in 'record physiology' which is analyzing athletic performance in relationship to the structure of human bod>. "Our laboratory is the athletic field." Technology has improved the conditions under which athletes train and compete, according to Dr. jokl. "Olympic swimmers now compete in indoor pools with regulated temperature and other more ideal conditions. Pole vaulters have better records because they use fiberglas poles." He noted that in the 1976 Summer Olympics new world records were set in most SWimming e\ ents. In some, record speeds were marked improvements over previous performances. Referring to the 29-foot plus broad jump of Bob Beamon in the 1968 Summer Olympics. Dr. jokl said ''there are some indications that this record may not be improved upon much if at all. That may be a terminal performance. \\'e call it a mutation event: it can't be explained other than by the fact that he did it." The panel moderator was Dr Milford C. Malone\·, M'53. clinical associate professor of medicine. · Vr. l'elcr fold In an illustrated presentation Or. joseph Godfrey, M'31, discussed knee, ankle and shoulder injuries. The Buffalo Bills team physician emphasized the importance of a complete physical exammation before participating in the first practice session. "After an athlete has been injured a careful. thorough examination of the injury is a must." The clinical professor of orthopedic surger~ at the Medical School urged his colleagues to "use their eyes and hands in examination of knee, ankle and shoulder injuries. Look at the individual from the front, the side, the back. Check the athlete's heel alignment and the size of his thighs. "Flex the knee. Observe the way the person walks and when he is sitting on the training table rotate his knee. Ask the athlete how the injury occurred. Often knee injuries are missed. They are tricky and hidden." Or. Codfrev said. The physician-educator admitted that he depended upon the trainer. ''Often players will confide more in a trainer than the coach or team physician ." Or. Godfrey noted that there was nothing secret about sports medicine. ''It is a cigar with a good wrapper. I have seen worse accidents in factories or at home than on an athletic field.' He cautioned "do not operate on a knee unless the person may be disabled from a recurrence. Man> knees have been operated on too many times. Perhaps the athlete would have recovered without surgery." 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSIC!Al\ �Or. Godfrey believes in channeling people into activities that won't aggravate old injuries or cause new ones. "Lay it on the line to your patient. I have knocked athletes out of football. basketball and baseball because they had physical defects that wouldn't hold up. [ had to send a $25,000 bonus baby home because of a physical defect." In conclusion Or. Godfrey paid a tribute to "the men who stay on the sidelines to coach and train the little leaguers. This is our mission. This is where you will change things. You aren' t going to change the pros." Or. Lawrence M. Carden stressed the external and internal injuries to the genito urinary tract. "Proper diagnosis and prompt management of the injury is very important. When a rib is fractured it may puncture the kidney and a bladder can be injured with minimum force. These are common accidents that should not be treated lightly." In his illustrated presentation, the clinical assistant professor of urology discussed conservative and aggressive approaches to therapy and the long term effects. "There are only subtle differences between sports medicine and regular medicine." Or. Edmond Gicewicz noted that a fractured ankle is treated the same regardless of where it happened. "But some sports injuries - jumpers knee, cauliflower car. torn knee ligaments, sore arms, tennis elbows - are not often encountered by practitioners." The clinical assistant professor of surgery pointed out thnt the athletic physician should tell the coach who will be ready for the next game. "It is our duty to make injured pla~ers available as soon as possible without jeopardizing their health. It is natural for athletes to want to play and get back in action quickly after an injury. As a physician you must 'read them'- watch how they run." In Or. Gicewicz's view only the biggest, fastest and meanest guys are left by late high school years. "Size is not important. The small guys should not be kept out of sports. The boys with chronic injuries are no longer around." The physician-educator stressed the need for better equipment and a complete pre-sport physical for all participants. dlJwnt• Saar.

Ed Abramnski, Dr ]ames Counsdman, und IJr. HrucP CJp.JII'ilt Plastic Surgery Aspects Or. John K. Quinlivan. M'45, noted that the plastic surgeon today has the occasion to treat a variety of facial injuries sustained in sports activities. "These may be soft tissue injuries or facial fractures, and frequently a combination of both. The contusions. abrasions and lacerations about the face. for the most part. do not require any complex treatment. Certainly these wounds must be carefully examined as to their extent and involvement: particularly to note any underlying facial fractures or an~ significant nerve involvement. These wounds then, should be carefull~ cleansed and debrided of all foreign material. The more extensive and deeper wounds may require suturing. This can usually be done under local anesthesia in the emergency room. The more extensive wounds, especially those with associated nerve involvement or lacerations which transect the eyelids or involve the cannuliculi as well as those requiring skin grafts (to replace lost tissue) can best be treated in the operating suite. The soft tissue wounds heal better if treated open and dry. If the wounds have been sutured, early suture removal and then support of the \<\Ound with steristrips or the like will usually result in a nicer scar. The most common complications in the treatment of soft tissue injuries are 1] hematoma formation, 2] infection. and 3] retained foreign bodies" In considering facial fractures. fractures of the nose are the most common fractures seen resulting from sports activities. according to the clinical instructor in surgery. ''Fractures of the mandible are the next most common, followed b\ fractures of the zygomatic malar complex and arch. Fractures-of the maxilla are the least common. A careful clinical examination of the facial bones before extensive swelling occurs is most important in the diagnosis and treatment of facial fractures. On palpating the facial bones, comparing one side with the other. the nature and extent of the facial fractures can usually be ascertained. Only after this is done. can meaningful X-ray studies be ordered for confirmation of the clinical findings. In ordering X-rays of the facia1 bones, usually Waters Views are asked for. Then depending upon the 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAI\. �clinical findings. more specific requests can be made for details: of for instance. the temporal mandibular joints. 7-ygomatic arches or the like. "In the treatment of facial fractures, the basic principles ag,\in apply: namely an accurate diagnosis must be made followed hy reduction and stabilization of the fracture. Frequently fractures of the nose can be treated by manual manipulation. The more complicated fractures \Viii require instrumental reduction followed hy splinting and packing of the nose. Fractures of the mandible usually require inter-dental wiring of the teeth in occlusion with or without direct wiring at the fracture site. Open reductions Me more frequently done in cases showing bilateral mantliuular lrac:lures which present o significant degree of displact•ment. Fractures of the zygomatic-malar complex and fractures of the zygomatic arch may frequently be reduced thru the intraoral Hpproach. If reduction. however. cannot be maintained. an open reduction and direct wiring at the fracture site along the zygomatical frontal suture line and about the infraorbital rim may be indicated. In fractures in\'olving the floor of the orbit with comminution. an orbitotomy or exploration of the floor of the orhil may be indicated. This is particularly true in cases of entr.1pnwnt and in the so called Blow-out fracture. It is occasionally nec:ess.1ry to use a thin shim of bone or silastic material to rm:onstJucl a markedlv comminuted orbital floor. Fractures of the mid face \dth bilateraf fractures of the maxilla resulting in a flo<tting maxill.1. may require a combination of procedures: for instance. inl!:rdental \\'iring of the Ieeth in occlusion with suspension of the maxilla either from the zygomatic arches or from the z~gomatic<~l frontal suture line. The ideal treatment of the more extensive fac:ial fractures frequently requires the combined efforts of the 01·al Surgeon. the Orthodontist, and the Eye Physician. In all fra<.tlll'l:s imolving the orbit. it is wise to have the patient cx;JmiJwd preopcrfltivcly and postoperatively by an Eye Physician, as these fractures may well be associated with intrinsic eye damag~!," tlw plastic surgeon said.

We must also remember that these injuries do not heal any faster in an athlete than they do in the average person of the same age. I feel that it is our responsibility as far as possible, to encourage the prevention of these injuries with the mandator} use of adequate protective equipment in all sports activities,'' Dr. Quinlivan concluded. He is chief or director of plastic surgery at Mercy, Kenmore Mercy, Sisters of Charity, Buffalo Columbus and St. Joseph 's Intercommunity Hospitals. Two coaches. a trainer, and a psychologist agreed listening and trying to solve a player's personal problems is a higher priority item for them. Former Buffalo Bills head coach Lou Saban noted that trust is important. "We must narrow the gap so players trust us. When we sa) something they must believe it. The philosophy of winning at any cost is very bad." The new University of Miami head football coach said he was distressed <~t what takes place on the playing field in the little leagues, colleges and pros. "If you have the right philosophy winning will come. Young people should enjoy sports. Too many people don't understand young people. Often the family - father or mother - is the biggest problem because they want their son or daughter to excel. We must do a better job of teaching the advan10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �tages of sports at all school levels. Youth must realize that when an athlete's career is over he is cast aside. Coaches who don't win get the same treatment." Ed Abramoski. Buffalo Bills trainer, pointed out that many players tend to bring their personal problems into the training room. "If we listen and try to help them they will respect us. This may make it easier for the athletes to face reality when the~ retire. Man) athletes think they can play until they are 50. This is always a real comedown because there are no more cheering crowds and often no job." Abramoski noted that a trainer must be an educator. motivator and a friend of the players. "I always teJJ a player all about his injury. Everything is above board and the emphasis is upon trust. Then when an athlete accepts this and wants to get well, he will in spite of us." Or. Bruce Ogilvie, professor of psychology, San jose State University, talked briefly about the "unstuck" young athletes that have come to him for help. I Ie also showed a film dealing with Little Leaguers and the pressures placed upon them b> coaches and parents. "I sometimes spend 24 or 48 hours with athletes who are on the 'brink' of suicide. There is no magic in my work, just honest. face to face talk with the individual. I try to get inside my subject so he will get to know himself far better and feel more secure about himself."

Crum•, Hidwrl The motivation consultant for several professional football and basketball teams believes that sports has the potential to be a great educational force "if we can overcome the '''inning at all cost philosophy. This educational process must begin in the elementar)and secondary schools with coaches. parents and young potential athletes.'' In Dr. Ogilvie's view. possibly the most anxiety-ridden situation in sports is to be a rookie in a professional football training camp. "It is a terribly lonely time for an athlete. And they have to pay a heavy price for something I'm not sure is \\'Orth it.'' Dr. Ogilvi1! is testing more women athletes in recent years. "They hc~vc the most drive. Men aren't even close. Women are the most independent thinkers, are more fiercely self-driven and have more authentic aggressive tendencies than any athletes I have ever tested." In his second appearance on the program. Or. Counsilman said ''as a coach of young men you must prepare athletes for life and realit). Coaches should be firm and a model for the young men he is coaching." '12 THE BUFFALO PI I\ SlUM\ �The Indiana University swimming coach noted that the Russians have problems with overanxious coaches and parents. He deplored the "hate psychology" used by some coaches and parents "Hitler was a good motivator but he used hate psychology and th1s is wrong." Dr. Counsilman impresses upon his swimmers that getting a good education is the reason they are in college. "I know my swimmers personally. I know their strong and weak academic points. I try to meet their girl friends. This is more important than winning championships. There must be a strong bond between the coach and the athlete like there is between physicians and alients." "Medicare and medicaid have created our health problems and the media has perpetuated our health crisis.'' Illinois Congressman Philip M. Crane, the Stockton Kimball Memorial Lecturer, suggested that "we should not create a situation worse than we have by going overboard for National Health Insurance or socialized medicine. National Health Insurance in the United States is not inevitable. Several Western European countries have had socialized medicine for several years and they aren't happy." The congressman noted that the United States has a better doctor-patient ratio than any of the industrialized nations of the world. "We have plent~ of physicians and may soon have an over supply. And our highway system makes physicians accessible." Mr. Crane cited some 1972 statistics that showed there were 132 doctorless counties in this country. "Many of these counties had only two-tenths of one per cent of the population and the people could drive to a medical center in less than 30 minutes." dSecond place exh1bil.'

"Hospital costs are the biggest source of expense for people having surgery. Inflation is the major cause of these high costs and Congress is the cause of inflation. We in Congress must put the brakes on inflation." Ne\\ modern life saving equipment is very costly. "But who wants to stop this if it involves life or death. Dollars are not important when it comes to sustaining life." Mr. Crane asked. "are we willing to cut costs and sacrifice quality care?" Then he told the physicians not to be fooled by the bureaucrnts because "they want to rule you totally. You must be more bold and stand up for your profession." he pleaded. In conclusion he said "we have the world's best health care system and we must keep the bureaucrats out of it. Keep the faith and don't let reckless atlacks on you and your profession go unchallenged."O Continuing Education Programs The following Continuing Medical Education programs are scheduled for September, October, and November, 1977, according to Mr. Charles llall, director of the programs.

If a newspaper reporter answers those six questions satisfactorily, my wife assures me that his readers will understand and empathize with what he has written. Let's see if what works for a reporter communicating with the lay public is as effective for me, a physician communicating with other physicians about their communication with cancer patients and families. rn estimated 1977 cancer statistics {excluding non-melanoma skin cancer} for U.S.A males. the Jymphomo-leukemJo-myelomo group ronks s1xth in incidence (28,300 new cases; 8% of all new cancer cases} and fourth 1n mortality (19,900 deaths, 10% of oll cancer deaths.) Primary carcinoma of the lung occupies first place in incidence {71,000 new cases; 22%) and in mortality (68,300 deaths, 33%). * * Incidentally, only one student asked about communication with a cancer patient during the half-hour question-and-answer period that concluded my April, 1976 seminar for the sophomore medical class. Not one directed a question to my wife who participated as a representative of a patient's family. Furthermore, in all my years in general teaching hospitals, there was never, so far as I can recall, a clinical conference on communication with cancer patients and families for attending physicians, house staff, junior and senior medical students. (Of course at my present age I can't rule out the deleterious effects of cerebral atherosclerosis on my recent and remote memory.) * * In this article, while referring to physician-patient-family communication, I shall focus primarily on the physician's communication with the family of a cancer patient. .... _.., ... -- * * * As for my credentials It was not my professional responsibility as a pathologist to communicate the results of my cancer diagnoses directly to patients and their families. Nevertheless I sometimes did so. Normally the pathologist communicates his findings, opinions and advice to the patient's attending physician. But not always. I can cite rare occasions involving the pathologic diagnosis of cancer in fellow professionals or members of their families in which attending physicians - often close 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �friends- abdicated their responsibilil:) and asked me to tell the patients or relatives the diagnosis. More frequently, especially when the malignant lesions were unusual, attending physicians referred fellow professionals or relatives to me for consultation after telling them the diagnosis. Sometimes the professionals or relatives came without referral to talk things over. Basically, communication with a fellow professional or his family in regard to cancer involves the same considerations as communication with a layman and his family. * * * In addition to my experience as a physician-pathologist, I have my experience as a cancer patient. I have observed how physicians communicated with me and my wife and with other patients and their families. especially in the lymphoma-leukemia outpatient clinic where, for the past four years. I have been treated and checked regularly- on the average every two weeks. My observations have been supplemented by what I have read since the diagnosis of m} disease. This includes articles t1nd books written by other patients and families as well as ph~sicians, social \'\"Orkers, nurses, clergymen, et al. * * * Finally I can now look at the problem of communication from a third point of view - the primary one in regard to the topic of this article. I can look at it from the point of view of a member of the immediate family of a cancer patient. In September. 1976, my only brother, 67 years old- the same age I was when my disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma (histiocytic lymphoma) was diagnosed - telephoned me at 7:45 a.m. about a genito-urinary complaint. Within a half hour we were in the outpatient urology clinic of a local hospital. After a brief examination the attending u•·ologist admitted my brother to the hospital for a medical work-up. The diagnosis: leukemia. My brother was transferred to a cancer institute where his spleen was removed. He is now receiving chemotherapy similar to that which had been prescribed for me 3 112 years ago. Today we are follo\1\ed in the same lymphoma-leukemia service and outpatient clinic at the institute. Sometimes we are seen on the same morning. This can cause problems. Once, because of confusion over the same last name, the laborator) mixed up the reports on our blood counts. to the temporar} consternation of our respective physicians. * * * So, if you will accept me as qualified. I'll proceed to answer the "five W's and the H" of communication as 1 see them. Of necessity there will be some overlapping of answers. I don't mean to be all-inclusive, dogmatic or simplistic. What I have observed and experienced personally may not apply equally to every physician-patient-family situation.

Although my answers to the "five \\''sand the H" are personal ones, perhaps not ahsolutely relevant to every patient or family. 1 do believe that they possess general validity and applicability. WHY? The physician has not only a professional and moral responsibilil\' but also a legal obligation (at least in Xew York State) to comm-unicate the facts of cancer diagnosis. treatment and prognosis full}. comprehensibly and continuously to the patient and/or his family. The legal obligation is stated clearl} in Point 4 of the 15-point American Ilospital Patient's Bill of Rights which, incorporated in the New York State llospital Code, bears the force and effect of law. Point 4 of the Bill of Rights reads "(that the policies and procedures at the hospital shall afford a patient the right] to obtain from his physician complete current information concerning his diagnosis. treatment, and prognosis in terms the patient can be reasonabl~ expected to understand. Wht:n 11 is not medically odvisable to give such information to the patient, the information shall be made available to the appropriate person in his behulf. .. (The italics are mine.) (Under ordinary circumstances the cancer patient has the legal right to decide vvhat should be disclosed about his illness and to whom.) If a physician. through O\'ersight or deliberate lack of communication, should fail to fulfill Point 4 of the Patient's Bill of Rights in a state like '\ew York, where it is considered as lav. particularly if information is requested from him - the patient and/or family could under certain conditions have recourse to the courts. It * La~ persons today, as medical consumers. are not only aware of their legal rights. Because of the mass media and public health education in schools, and through the American Cancer Society, health departments, medical societies et al. the~ rna} know more about cancer, as a health problem. be more up-to-date in their knowledge, than some physicians. When they. or members of their families, become ill, their questions can no longer be brushed off by patronizing. god-like statements from the physician: "1\ow don't you worry about anything" or "That's my business - ~ou're paying me to handle that. I'm the doctor" or ''I'll do the worrying .. . you just leave everything to me." .. * * Communication should include not onl~ the gh·ing of the facts of the diagnosis and management of the disease. but help in understanding the treatment, course and prognosis. It embraces continuing professional allention, information and referral for certain practical problems which may arise (transportation, financial assistance. etc.) and psychologic suppor, and reassurance The patient who knows his diagnosis and understands his disease with its treatment and prognosis is belter able to cope and 18 THE BUFf'ALU PliYSlCIAI\ �adapt to it than the patient \~hose physician keeps him in the dark. And the knowledgeable. understanding family is better equipped to give him the day-to-day care and support he needs. In so doing the family is at the same time helping to preserve and maintain its own well-being, stability. unity. perhaps its ver) existence. The physician, too, benefits from free and open communication with the patient and the family. They will have more confidence in him, accept his recommendations and carry out his orders more faithfully. He may even get better diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic results in the patient Avoidance or lack of communication, on the other hand. may lead to feelings of uncertainty, helplessness, fear, anger and even alienation toward him. The patient. through his own choice or at the family's behest, may change doctors, hospitals, even go to a medical quack. Let's take four examples of various approaches and results or physician-patient-family communication. * * * 1. A professional woman of my acquaintance, in her mid- fifties. underwent an operation for removal of a gro\\'th in her uterus. She was single, living alone. and the only survi\•ing member of her immediate family \\as a brother. Her physician. an attending surgeon in a voluntar) teaching hospital affiliated with a medical school. never told the patient ur her brother that the "growth'' was a cancer nnd had alre,uly metastasized (This was before the adoption of the Pati ent's Bill or Rights.) He led them to believe that he had removed a "tumor" and, because he didn't use the word "cancer," they assumed that the tumor was benign. The patient failed to improve postoperatirely. AI ter he•· return to her apartment she felt herself growing weaker e\ cr) day. I Ier surgeon told her that this was expected after an operation. f-)hc didn't believe him. This, she knew, was more than the usual postoperative lack of strength. Jf the surgeon couldn't recognir.c the difference, he obviously didn't know his business. Urged by her brother she made inquiries about admission to an out-of-town nationally-known medical center, hoping that physicians there would be able to determine more accurately the nature of her illness and treat it more effectively. She did not discuss her plans with her surgeon, but she did talk about them to a friend. also a professional woman, who worked in a field allied to medicine. The friend. who suspected the true diagnosis. decided to intervene. She telephoned the physician. whom she knew through her work. and told him that he was about to lose a patient. .tnd why. He clearlv resented her intrusion into the case. hut upon thinking it ov~r decided to talk frankly ..,,·ith the patient .tnd her brother. He excused the fact that he had not done so before on the grounds that "they never asked me if the tumor \'\<lS cancer." After the initial shock of his announcement. the patient accepted the prognosis. Her belief in her physician was restored. She decided to stay with him. She accepted his explanations. followed his instructions and palliative treatment faithfully. (1\t the time hormonal-chemotherapy was not available.) d- FALL, 197i 19 I:IHVAIW R \11 RRO\\' Born J!W8 l 'lli5 dwc/ �Through her brother she made arrangements for dail) care at home. She looked after personal. financial. legal and religious matters. She got in touch with relatives whom she hadn't seen for vears, or wilh whom she had even been at odds. · The disease worsened. but when her strength permitted she wrote notes of appreciation to friends who had stood by through her illness. In some instances she even wrapped little remembrances for them - possessions of hers that they had admired. When death finally came, her brother delivered the notes and the packages. "It was so much easier for both of us after we knew the truth," he told one of the recipients. * * * 2. If communication is so important when the patient is ter- JOH.' ! \V,\ Y .\:P.. Born 1907. Operation m 1964 with 13-yeor surv1val. minal. how much more so it is when the patient has some hope of living, even if only a remote one but possibly for an extended time. For example I know th.ree patients with Stage lll-IV lymphoma (a nurse, a clergyman and an educator) who have gone 10-15 years on surgery, radiation, steroid- and chemotherap). All have been able to continue working in their respective fields. The side effects of treatment have often been discouraging, but their families have sustained them. At the cancer institute one of my young fellow patients recently admitted to the lymphoma-leukemia clinic often becomes depressed because of the side effects of his experimental chemotherapy. At such times he tells his physicians that he is going to give up treatment, return to his home outside of Buffalo. and die. His wife, mother of their two children, has been full) informed from the beginning about his diagnosis and prognosis. She knows that the chemotherapy, though unpleasant. offers his only chance of su rvival. She won't let him give up . He always returns to the clinic for further treatment. If he attains a 10-year-or-more survival, he will have his wife to thank. * * * 3. Today. when my own disease has been under control for four years. my wife tells me that, if she had not been fully informed of the nature of my illness and its treatment, she might have been driven to leave me during the early da)S of my deepest depression. She savs that she would not have understood mv retreat into myself, my-lack of interest in her or in our life togeth~r. She would have felt that somehow she had failed me, was not making me happy. * * 4. The fourth example, a middle-aged registered nurse on the West Coast (one of the long-term survivors referred to earlier) has had lymphosarcoma Stage III-IV for 12 years. She has been treated with surgery, radiation, steroids and chemotherap). On Nov. 26, 1976, she was readmitted to the hospital lor study and evaluation of chronic intractable diarrhea and persistent fever. "At that time," she w rote me two months later, "I cared very little about what happened to me. It was as though my illness had a 20 TilE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �negative effect on what norma II~ passes for rational thought." The diarrhea was attributed to intestinal changes caused by radiation. the persistent fever to chronic bacteremia. During the work-up. a carcinoma of the rectosigmoid area vvas diagnosed. "The surgeon was unwilling to do much with me until I was physically prepared," she continued. "and last but not least he wanted to make sure my attitude toward the surgery of the large bowel lesion was conducive to trying to get well, particular!~ since there was a 50% chance that an abdomino-perineal resection and colostomy would be needed. "By Dec. 9 the surgeon and 1 were both satisfied that I was ready and a 6 112-hour operation ensued. Fortunately the surgeon was able to do a sigmoid resection and end-to-end anastomosis without colostomy. "Needless to say the hours r was in the operating room were u far greater ordeal for my family than for me ... "By Dec. 31 I was finally allowed to go home and ut last I have moments when I can think clearly and even write a letter ... I do feel better in general ... Life again seems worth a try and I'm glad to be around. "I have read your last article - VI (A) - in the December Buffalo Physician. I do want to sa)- this. It relates to the way 'support' helps cancer patients. "I've indicated that by Nov. 26 I no longer cared to survive. "My husband had the most influence on changing my atlltude. but several others were more than helpful. After all. my husband. too. needed support. "Our son [the only child. in his 30s) came for a few days from the East Coast and was very important in this episode. "A major source of help came from my sisters, brothers and their spouses, all of whom remained with my husband and son during the entire 6 112-hour ordeal of surgery. "Another influence was a few good friends. Their concern and support to my husband and myself extended not necessarily to visits but to keeping track of us. seeing that cooked food was available. They were always helpful and unobtrusive. "The surgeon spent considerable time helping me to understand what he was trying to do and why. He leveled with me at all times and kept me abreast of all his plans for my care. lie also took time to talk with my husband and kept an eye on his state of psychologic progress. ''I've been more than oven:vhelmed and grateful and wonder how more cancer patients can get this support from physicians. families and friends. I would like to write an article on physicianpatient-family support and its influence on patient progress. You may use what I write in this letter in your articles." * * * Let me briefly summarize what I have been saying. at the risk of being repetitious. There are three, not two, parties involved in the diagnosis, treatment, course and prognosis of cancer. They are the physician, the patient and the family {which 1 extend to include close friends, and fellow patients, with their relatives). d- FALL. 1977 21 Wi\LT DISXEY.

The physician because the patient and family are more comfortable with him, more trusting and co-operative, willing and able to carrv out his recommendations and orders and to recognize the limitations of today's medical science against the disease.

On the average. cancer patients and their families complain more frequently and vehemently about lack of communication and compassion in a physician than about his scientific competence. And some of them seem never to forget that lack. WHEN? The responsihility of communicating freely, comprehensibly. fully and compassionately with the family of a cancer patient (as with the patient himself) is not a one-time thing. It begins with the patient's first visit and continues throughout his life and even beyond. The physician may, in the long run, spend as much time with the family as with the patient. Here are some of the times when communication is particularly important. 1. At the time of the original work-up. The family should understand what the physician is looking for. the necessitv and results of examinations and laborator\' tests. 2. Before biopsy. explorotor) surgery, or therapy s~rgnry. radiation hormonal-, immuno- or chemotherapy. Or Shirle~ Salmon, speech pathologist at the Veterans Hospital. Kansas Cit~. studied spouses of laryngectomized cancer patients. She found that their greatest interest was in knowing beforehand the surgical procedure ho"' the patient would he changed after surgen (anatomlcally. physiologically. psychologically and in appearance), \-\hat the problems of communicating and caring for him would be, \\hether he would he able to talk again and how, how to cope with personal and family 22 TilE BUFfALO PllY~ILlA:'\ �problems that would arise postoperatively in the hospital and at home. 3. After biopsy or surgery. The most difficult time for a spouse or other members of the family is the waiting period during and after surgery when they receive no information or emotional support. I saw one family in the waiting room, anxious and agitated, at 2 p.m. They had come in at 7:30a.m., before the patient was taken to surgery. Six-and-a-half hours later no one had told them that the patient would be taken to the recovery room after the operation, and they could not understand why he had not returned to his room. No physician had come to talk to them and the busy nurses on the floor had little time or patience for their questions, or perhaps had no information themselves. 4. As soon as possible after "cancer" is pathologically verified. It is well to remember, however, that bad news is best borne in the daytime, when it is light, when people are around and there are things going on. Night with its darkness. silence and seemingly interminable length is a fearful time, especially if one is alone. Some of the fears are real, but many are phantom, irrational ones. If the family is given bad news in the daytime, they can seek aid and comfort from others and by night will be somewhat adapted to il. If I were telling a family that a pathological report said "cancer," and I received that report at 5 p.m., I'd wait until the next morning to break the news unless there were professional or personal reasons for urgency - e.g., the patient was to be transferred from a general hospital to a cancer center by ambulance in the morning. It is important that pathologists get reports out as soon as possible. I wonder how many of them recognize what patients and families go through emotionally while waiting for a tissue report, even that on a suspected small basal cell cancer of the skin. Yet they are sometimes told casually that such a report will "take a week or so." If there must be a delay, the family should be alerted to how long it may be and why. If other opinions are being sought in the locality or out of town, this should be explained. 5. In subsequent days when the shock of the verified pathologic diagnosis has diminished somewhat. The family will want and need to know about additional types of treatment. either primary or adjunctive (e.g., radiation or chemotherapy), if these are needed, who will give them and where, what they will cost. The family should be informed, too, about how long the treatments will continue, what the side effects will be, and the possible results. 6. Throughout the course of treatment. The family should be kept in touch with the patient's response, any new developments or changes in treatment, prognosis or even in the personality of the patient. 7. Through follow-ups, even when the patient is not under treatment and the disease is "under control," "in remission," or "cured." d- FALL, 1977 23 NAT KING COLE.

When the patient is losing ground and starts to go down hill for any reason, either the disease itself or side effects and complications of treatment. Ironical)) it is at this time, when the family most needs him, that the physician sometimes ceases to communicate entire!~ and gets out of the case. 9. During the end stage, when the patient is moribund or comatose. It is important that the physician notify the family of impending death as accurately as he can and do what he can to make things easier for them - perhaps extending special visiting privileges at the hospital so that they can be with the patient when they wish to be there. 10. AI the lime of imminent death. The family should not feel that the physician has abandoned them, although there may be nothing further he can do scientifically to change the outcome. A woman now in her 60s whose husband died 25 years ago has never forgotten that their personal ph)sician, a family friend. didn't even come to the hospital during her husband's final hours. Notified at his home of the imminent death, he told the resident to make the patient as comfortable as possible. that there was nothing further he could do. He hung up the phone. Although the wife of the patient was standing at the nurses' station while the resident was speaking. the physician didn't inquire for her. She was crestfallen and bitter. An older physician who knew the couple sociall~ but had not been involved in the care of the patient stopped by while making rounds. Sizing up the situation, he stayed with the wife for a while. giving her the support she so needed. 11. Even after death. The family may need to be reassured that everything possible was done for their loved one and that they themselves performed well, providing not only the needed care, but encouragement, support and love. This final communication may also mean a great deal to the physician Or. Morris A. Wessel says: "The physician who so often feels defeated by medicine's failure when a patient dies may find positive satisfaction in continuing his relationship with and supporting the remaining members of the family as they grieve, mourn and regain equilibrium. Bereaved family members .... appreciate knowing that their doctors care about them and wish to help them at this difficult moment." * * * Finally, a practical matter. The family that gives permission for an autops~ is entitled to receive the results. or a summary of them in terms they can understand. Often their request that they be informed of the findings is overlooked. The resident who obtained the consent may forget to mention it to the pathologist or attending physician. A young widow whom I interviewed for this article told me that when she failed to receive the report of the autopsy on her husband which she had requested she mentioned it to her family 24 THE BUFFALO PIIYSICIAN �doctor. He had not been on the team that treated her husband. but he asked for and received a summary of the autops~ findings. copies of the summary sheets in the protocol. which he gave to the widow. He didn't explain them, and she hesitated to ask what the\' meant. but simply put the summer)' with her other papers. \\'he~ she told me about it, and showed me the autopsy protocol's summaq sheets, 1 gave her the first explanation she had. Such explanations come best from the ph~sician who treated the patient, not from the pathologist. A good time is a couple of weeks after death when the autopsy protocol is usually completed with gross. microscopic and other findings. The spouse or other family member should be encouraged to ask queslions. WHERE? The "where" of physician-family communication will vary with the "when." Such communication may take place in the physician's office. general hospital. cancer center, extended care facilit~. nursing home, hospice. or family residence. It may even, \.Vhen the family cannot be physicall) present, take place over the telephone. by telegram or cablegram, or through the mail. * * * In Example I of Article 6A - the case of the 85-year-old man with cancer of the colon-the surgeon at the university hospital never met the patient's wife. physician-son or two daughters. lie communicated with the wife and son by telephone and mail and they communicated similarly with the two daughters. one of whom was out of the country. In the four years since my diagnosis, my wife and 1 have spent the months of December, January and February in Guadalajara, Mexico. During those months, our communication with my physician at the cancer institute has been solely by mail. When I leave home I take with me his office and home addresses and telephone numbers. He has mine in Guadalajara as well as those of my Mexican physician. So far we have not had to resort to the telephone, but every two weeks I send him, by air mail. a report on my physical. X-ray and laboratory findings. If he wants further information, or wishes to suggest further diagnostic procedures or treatment. he contacts me, as he did this past year. My wife is fully informed of the contents of all our communications. When a fellow patient at the institute, a college student. was found to have leukemia while in school in the Midwesl. his physician there telephoned his parents in Buffalo to discuss the diagnosis and outlook with them. The parents of another college student were on a "round the world" trip when a diagnosis of malignant melanoma was made on him. The physician's cable reached them in Italy. * * * If physician-family communication is to take place in a public facility, as it often docs, the area selected should offer privacy, quiet and comfort. d- FALL. 1977 25 According to the American Cancer Sociel\· at /east 80 ~} of CA of the lung is causei b)' cigort'lle smoking.

She said later. however. when I interviewed her, that it would have been easier for them both if the discussion could have taken place somewhere besides the solarium-dining room on the urologic floor. It is difficult to listen. to ask questions and assimilate answers, to experience and express emotions about. a serious, P?te~t~ally fatal diagnosis in such a setting. Other p~l!ents and th~•: vtstto~s are chatting, having lunch, coming and gomg. The televtston selts turned on, possibly to a soap opera or jocose game show. It is even worse to get seriO\}S news, as many families do, in a hospital corridor, from a surgeon still in operating room garb making rounds -or in a hospital lobby from a physician "on the run," entering or leaving the hospital. Some hospitals and cancer centers realize this. They set aside areas where physicians can talk, privately and quietly. with patients and families. The lymphoma-leukemia clinic that I attend has such a room. tastefully and comfortably furnished, like a doctor's office, completely separate from the main waiting, examining, treatment and physicians' conference rooms. Good physician-family communication doesn't always require such a formal setting. During follow-up visits of outpatients the physician at the institute may call the family member. sometimes at the request of the patient. into the examining or treatment room to discuss how things are going and what is being done. When a patient is hospitalized, his room, if it affords privacy, may be the setting for communication. BIBLIOGRAPHY Abrams. R D, Nor Alone wirh Cancer. Chos. C.

Today's medical students and young physicians look upon house calls as a thing of the past, of no value to the physician, patient or family. House calls, however, are still indicated for certain types of patients. One of these is the advanced, bedridden cancer patient. Dr. J. Englebert Dunphy, past president of the American College of Surgeons, believes that such visits should be made at regular intervals by the family physician and from time to time. if possible, by the surgeon or oncologist who undertook the definitive care. "The value of a visit to the home of the patient on the part of the surgeon," he says, "is unbelievable ... I can testify that the reward to family, patient, referring physician and surgeon is one that cannot be put into words." *to be continued) Prudd(.'n. 11th f:dillon . p. 122 (lymphosarcoma of lunp,) .

The clinical assistant professor of pathology at the Medical School has been chairman of the Joint Task Group on Confidentialit} of Computerized .Medical Records since its inception. ··one of our big concerns has been freedom and privacy. We have done our homework and our system, the first in the world. is technicall} and medically ready to go," Dr. Gabrieli sa1d. "The Center is the private sector's answer to the need for computerization of medical data. Our main objective is to store computerized medical history records of voluntary participants so that the synopsis of these records is promptly retrievable when needed. An equally important objective is to prove that technology toda} is able to protect confidential data by employing adequate security measures." Dr. Gabrieli pointed out that any resident of Western New York could subscribe to this program. For a registration fee of $15.00, the subscriber will receive a detailed questionnaire including demographic-social data, a comprehensive medical history. family history, review of systems. social habits and other health-related practices. The answers recorded by the patient (or his family) will be computerized to serve as the initial data base. Upon the patient's request, certain diagnoses and surgeries will be checked with the appropriate hospitals. "Participants will be urged to keep their medical records current. For a small updating fee of $5.00. summaries of recent clinical events will be added to the initial data base to form a longitudinal record. "Upon a patient's request a synopsis of his past medical history will be made available to a physician by mail or, in an emergency. by phone, though extensive vertification is required before the information is released in this manner. There will be no fee for the release of the records,'' Dr. Gabrieli said. The physician-computer expert noted that the quality of the computer medical history will depend upon the accuracy and completeness of the data update provided by physicians. hospitals, and clinics. "We have been assured that the medical community will cooperate in this new venture because gathering medical histories is time consuming and frustrating for clinicians." Or. Gabrieli said. The Medical Data Center Ltd .. is directed and regulated by a Board of Directors consisting of health care professionals and "consumers." The Board of Directors is accountable to the Western New York community. The mternational expert on computerized medical records hopes that during the first year 15 per cent of Western New Yorkers will become subscribers. By 1980 Dr. Gabrieli predicts he will have the majorit} of the region's residents as subscribers. "And from this beginning in Buffalo. we expect that the community-oriented Medical Data Center movement will be nationwide."D FALL, 1977 27 Dr. Gabrieli �Vr:; . Phillrps. Rwmann D istinguished Alumni Award Dr. Reimann was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science degree b> the Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia on June 10.0 Dr. Hobart A. Reimann received a special "DistinguishedAiumni Award" at the 40th annual Medical Alumni Association's Spring Clinical Days. He is professor of medicine at Hahnemann Medical College, Philadelphia. v.:here he has been since 1960. In June. 1976 he retired as associate director of the college and hospital. Dr. Reimann, a 1921 U/B Medical School graduate. was born in Buffalo and took his internship and residency at The Buffalo General Hospital. 1921-1923.ln 1951 he received a U/8 alumni citation for "distinguished service in medical education.'' After a three-year assistantship at the Rockefeller Institute in 1926, and a National Research Council fellowship in Prague with Ghon and Breinl, his career has been in academic medicine. He served as professor of medicine at the Peking Union Medical College and the University of Minnesota, and department head at Jefferson Medical College, the American University of Beirut, University of Indonesia and Pahlavi University in Shiraz, lran. !lis early investigations dealt with pneumococcal dissociation aiding Avery's discovery of DNA as the transforming agent, and later with M. tetragenus dissociation. He observed two typhus epidemics in China. In 1945 he joined the UNRRA Cholera Team in Chungking and made one of the earliest studies demonstrating the low death rate of adequately treated patients. In 1967 he was Field Director for the American Medical Association's Project in Medical Education in Saigon. Subsequent tours for CAREMEDICO included Kabul. Honduras and Columbia; in addition he gave numerous lectures in Puerto Rico. Dr. Reimann is regarded as one of the "distinguished men of American Medicine" b> his colleagues. He has been outstanding as a physician. medical educator and early medical investigator. He is a perfectionist who demands the best of himself and his students. He is a man of the highest integrity and personal standards. Dr. Reimann published 300 papers and four books, and contributed articles to numerous textbooks including Musser's and Cecil's, Oxford Medicine. the Encyclopedia Brittanica, Gsell and Mohr's and Alexandar's Infektionskrankheiten. Forty consecutive annual reviews of infections were published. He was the first to describe viral pneumonia in 1938, a viral cause of dysentery in 1945, and periodic diseases in 1948; and he was one of the first to question the value of tonsillectomy and exodontia for focal infection. Among the honors bestowed were the Charles V. Chapin medal, the Hahnemann Corporation medal. the Shaffre)- Award from St. joseph's College, and the Order of Cedars of Lebanon. Dr Reimann's abilities are not limited to the science of medicine. He is probably one of the finest physician artists in the country. His paintings are done with remarkable skill and they have been exhibited widely in the Philadelphia area and also at national exhibitions of medical artists. Two first awards. a second and a third award were won for pastel paintings at four annual Association of American Physicians exhibits. One of these awardwinning paintings appeared on the cover of the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1972. Membership in organizations include Th& American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, the American Medical 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Association. the American College of Physicians. the American Society of Clinicallnvestigahon, Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, Society for Experimental Pathology. the Association of American Physicians. the nascent Association of Former Professors of Medicine.

He had delivered three babies at Kenmore Mercy Hospital. But it was during the snowstorm of 1977. And not more than an hour would pass when the 1956 U/B Medical School graduate would find himself in the emergency room at Veterans Hospital. delivering its first baby in 27 years. The mother had been on her way to another hospital. But the ambulance (from the Eggertsville Hose Company, a volunteer unit headed by U/B's admissions and records associate director James Schwender) was fortunate to make it through the blizzard to Veterans. On hand were a medical student who was stranded and two senior physicians. Neither had had any obstetrical experience in years. Dr. Bartels lived nearby. He was called. It was cold. recalls Dr. Bartels of his walk to the hospital's emergency room. At 9:30 p.m. the mother's membrane ruptured. There was no delivery room, no obstetrical instruments. "We took her to the operating room," he added. It was a natural delivery under local anesthetic. And both mother and baby were doing. fine. Vowing that "we're going to make do some way or other" was hospital director Joseph Paris. And they did. Staff constructed a bassinet. Baby bottles were brought over by the wife of a hospital employee, a former obstetrics patient of Dr. Bartels. And blood. for the Rh negative baby arrived from Children's Hospital the next day. It may have been an uneventful delivery for the associate clinical professor of gyn/ob. but not so for Veterans.D FALL, 1977 29 Dr. Bartels �T wo facultv members were honored by the 1977 yearbook, The Iris. The m~dical students dedicated their yearbook to Dr. John Wright, professor and chairman of the department of pathology. They also paid a special tribute to Dr. S. Mouchly Small, professor and chairman of the department of psychiatry. Dr Wright Yearbook Honors Two Professors Dedication to Dr. Wright More than effective and knowledgeable instructors, the great teachers bring a palpable enthusiasm with them to the place of learning. They are uncommon. Rarer still is the person who demonstrates this excellence in both the lecture hall and the much different setting of the hospital laboratory. Dr. Wright is such an individual. His reputation as a scholar and educator were well known in Buffalo- Dr. Wright did his residency in pathology here - and returned as chairman of his department in 1974. The students of this class were to learn of his abilities as a teacher; and greeted him with a standing ovation at the close of the lecture series in pathology. That these qualities extend to hospital practice can be doubted b)- none who have observed and learned from him in the clinical laboratory. Though taxed by duties as administrator and researcher, Dr. Wright has always been willing to answer our myriad questions and to extend his compassion and personal effort towards our individual needs. We, the Class of 1977, as a tribute to the man and to his ideals, on the occasion of our graduation, dedicate this edition of The Iris to Dr. John Wright, and ourselves to the ideals he lives by. Tribute to Or. Small Dr. Small The Class of 1977 would like to pay tribute here to Dr. S. Mouchly Small, who is retiring this year as chairman of the department of psychiatry after holding this position for 26 years. Dr. Small's many academic honors on the national and international level would literally take pages to list; he is certainl:r well known for his work as chairman of the Scientific Advisory Council of the Muscular Dystrophy Association and as a director of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. For many years, Or. Small personally taught the sophomore course in psychiatry, and many present Medical School faculty members have pleasant reminiscences to recount of their experiences in his class. In more recent years, Dr. Small has not had as direct contact with the class as a whole. However, those students who have come to know him, either through taking an elective or just by having stopped by his office to chat with him, have always been favorably impressed. The IRIS salutes this outstanding clinician and teacher.O 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr Ross Markello has been accepted as a Sloan Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the 1977-78 academic year. The professor and chairman of anesthesiology at the Medical School will take a one-year sabbatical leave. Dr. Markello will enroll tn the Health Management Executive Development program in the Alfred P. Sloan School of Management. The 12-month program leads to the degree of Master of Science in Management. The program is aimed at mid-career health care practitioners, educators, researchers and administrators who desire an intensive management development experience in preparation for continued career growth and increased responsibilities in the health field. Between 45 and 50 Sloan Fellows are selected each year from men and women in the United States and abroad. Dr. Markello received his M.D. degree from the University in 1957. He also did his undergraduate work at UB. He joined the Medical School faculty on July 1, 1961 as a clinical assistant in anesthesiology. I Ie was named professor and chairman of anesthesiology on October 1, 1971. In 1957-58 Dr. Markello interned at the Millard Fillmore Hospital, Buffalo. He was an assistant resident in a;.esthesiolog} at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital, Buffalo from 1958-1960. He was named chief resident in anesthesiology the following year. Dr. Markello has co-authored several scientific papers for professional journals. He has served both as chairman and member of several university and hospital committees. His research includes - studies on various effects of hyperventilation during anesthesia, including cerebral blood flow and cardiac output; studies on effects of anesthesia on ventilationperfusion distribution in the lung; and effect of cardiopulmonary bypass on cerebral blood flow. Dr. Ma rkello is a Diplomate of the National Board of Medical Examiners, and the American Board of Anesthesiology. He is also active in several other professional organizations.D FALL, 1977 31 Dr. Markello �Clockwise from lower left : Dr. and ,\frs.

For the graduating seniors it was one of the last social get·togethers. 33 �131st Annual Commencement A toto/ of 5,000 degrees were conferred this year during the General Commencement and 12 additional individual commencement ceremonies. Since its founding in 18-ll;, the l mversi!y has uwurded a total of 90,000 degrees. The 1977 class was awarded 2,814 bachelor's 817 master's, 15 associate's, 239 academic doctorates. 264 J.D.'s, 141 ,'vt.D. 's and 90 D D.S ·s. University of Mwncsoto President C. Peter ,\1ograth gave the major address at the 131st General Commencement in Memorial Auditorium.O The 131st commencement was a happy affair for 141 (108 men, 33 women) Medical School seniors and their respective families. The young physicians were urged to take into practice what they had learned as well as the what is not taught- how to communicate with and to have compassion for patients and their families. Dean john 1aughton welcomed the graduates and their famihes. lie paid a special tribute to the Mothers (since it was Mother's Day). He had special praise for the editors of The Iris, Medical School yearbook. Dean Naughton told the graduates they would have to share in the health care crisis and the many changes that are taking place in the world and New York State. Class officer Duret S. Smith made a surprise, special presentation to Ms. Doreen Miller "for her numerous contributions to the Class of 1977." She is a senior stenographer in the associate dean's office who helped the class through registration four years ago. In his address Smith cited compassion and competence as two of the most important qualities in a successful physician. He also mentioned the importance of stability, maturity, self-regulation, integrity, judgment and wisdom. Class representative Thomas Raab said conventional medical education has clone little to prepare the young doctor for conveying a diagnosis of a potentially fatal disease or for offering continuing support along with medical care. In dedicating the yearbook to Dr. john Wright, professor and chairman of the pathology department, Ronald A. Vidal, co-editor. praised Dr. Wright as an excellent teacher and whose ideals we hope to live by. Dr. Wright said he accepted this honor "with a sense of humility. This was my first class at U/8. This class holds a place of special significance to me. You played a major role in my teaching. You were eager to learn, tolerant and patient. I share my success with all of you and was glad to continue my relationship with you during your clinical yea rs. It was exhilarating to observe your progress from sophomores to seasoned seniors. I wish you well in your future studies and professional development." 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN l �25 Students Honored Twenty-five medical students (19 seniors. 6 sophomores and juniors) won special honors and awards at the 131st Commencement.

Eran <.:olkins. jobie Crear. Dr. Hohrrr J Mcisaac. lJr As I was reflecting on some of our experiences these past few years in medical school. there was one particular thought that kept recurring to me, and that was how far we had come. Let's think back for a moment to August of 1973. when we were all sitting in 139 Capen half listening to various speakers tell us some of what vvould lie ahead, and wondering, "how will I ever make it through medical school when I'm having such a difficult time understanding this registration procedure?" There we were a class of wideeyed, apprehensive, definitely anxious, but enthusiastic students, who had little knowledge of preclinical medicine. even less about clinical medicine and practically none at all about the administration and politics of medicine. Now, less than four short years later here 'Ae are. a class of bright. shiny, new physicians: somewhat older. hopefully wiser. probably somewhat apprehensive, maybe just a little bit anxious, but hopefully just as enthusiastic about our careers in medicine: whether they be in basic science research, academic medicine. group. or private practice. Let's review some of what transpired during these years that took us from a group of lucky and select pre-medical students to medical students. to something that is called a "doctor ... !\:ow .,,.e don't have to introduce ourselves to patients as medical students and explain what we are doing there, we have moved up just a hit in the world and now we will try to convince people that. yes, interns and restdents are real doctors too. Part of what transpired, to be sure. was the accumulation of a vast pool of facts, figures, values, syndromes, disease processes, procedures, and technical skills that can be placed under the heading of academic knowledge. However if the truth be known, there was so much to 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �be learned that some of this academic knowledge and esoterica has been so deeply stored that it can no longer be brought forth from our memory. If this be doubted there were the national boards to remind us of this fact. Are we ill-prepared then for our careers in medicine because some of this knowledge has passed us by? I ask my classmates to think back along with our elder faculty members and remember the academics the)- learned in their medical training in what they like to remind us were the "old days" not the good old days for we were invariably reminded that the old days whenever they were, were always tougher than the "new days" regardless of when they were. Much if not most of the academics taught to them is now, to use a political phrase, "inoperative." Medicine, probably today more than ever. is a vcr)rapidly changing and expanding field that demands not static scholarship, but the ability to expand with and master its new advances. If we cannot depend solely on our present didactic education in future years. there is a combination of qualities and attributes which are ageless. and cannot be didactically taught. that 1NC should hope to have acquired. These include stability, calmness. maturity, self-respect, self-regulation, integrity. being a hard worker and the ability to reason clearly. But probably the two most important are compaSSIOn - the desire to serve with sensitivity. and competence - the ability to serve, which must include the ability to expand with the changing science scholarship. just as important , competence includes judgement and wisdom. In many cases this means saying, "I don't know," when we don't. as well as the thorough knowledge of our self-limitations. lf we are successful in acquiring these qualities during our medical school training, then we will surely have the essentials for becoming good physicians. This is and should be a happy and proud day for our friends and families, many of whom have sacrificed significantly so that we may be where we are today, as well as a happy day for ourselves. But we should not look on this graduation as the end of an education, but as the beginning of the continuation of one one that will certainly be challenging and hopefully will be rewarding and fulfilling. I wish us all "good luck." Dean Xoup.hton congrorulutes a graduate while Dr. F. Carter Ponnlll. W11liom C Ba1rd. ,\1. Robert Koren observe. !Jr. Colluns, Jonathon Small.

I am sure I represent the feelings of the Board of Trustees. the President's Council of the L niversit) of Buffalo. and the administration and faculty of SU\:"Y / B in wishing you congratulations and God's speed. For the third consecutive year this celebration coincides with that great national institution ami tradition - Mother's Da~ . To the mothers. grandmothers, and greatgrandmothers present. we \<\ISh you a 'ery special and happy Mother's Day. Today's festivities coincide with two other anniversaries wh ich some of us may have forgollen; the termination of the second World War in Europe (V-E Day). and the birth of former President Truman. We have not been able to extend the occasion sufficiently for it to coincide with the founding of the School of Medicine by Millard Fillmore on May 11, 1846. But we have come close! It is a particular pleasure for me to open these celebrations for vour class. because it was with you that I came into most intimate ~ontact during my frequent trips to Buffalo from 1\'ovemher. 197-1 until I planted my feet on the ground on March 1. 1975. In the serenity and salubriation that you enjoy tonight you may not remember those grand and glorious weeks and months when you \\'ere concerned about the status of SUl\:Y/ Buffalo in relation to that of other medical schools; the significance of and your abilities to deal with Part I of the National Board Examinations; student and faculty morale: the institution's commitment to your needs and expectations. and the impact of the percei\·ed deficiencies within the institution on your career choices as interns and residents. The record clearly indicates that ) ou passed through that rather uncomfortable and troublesome time with flying colors. You met the challenge of the Boards; have established a record of good clinical performance; and have received strong und excellent graduate education opportunities. That you passed through the disquieting period without significant scarring is reflected further in this year's edition of THE IRIS. As I have reviewed this second edition. your editorial staff has done an excellent job of refining and expanding on the fine contributions of your predecessors. This year's edition stresses the importance of integrity through its emphasis on the individual. the family and the institution. It highlights the importance of growth and development through its emphasis on continuity from enrollment through graduation. It evidences that you coped with frustration in that the 1977 edition displays enthusiasm. happiness and gratitude in accomplishment rather than sadness. cynicism and anger in failure. In my simplistic analysis of your situation, therefore. 1 see that you are a class who had to meet uncertainty and change head on. and you have probably learned a valuable lesson from which we can all benefit. Namely, as long as boundaries are clearly established and defined, goals enunciated and standards of performance applied consistently and objectively. it is possible to deal elastically with changing circumstances in a manner that insures tho 40 THE BUFFALO PHYSJCIAN �maintenance of integrity and the accomplishment of our tasks. Thus, you are probably better prepared for the rigors of the future than are many of your nearly 14.000 colleagues who will graduate from the nation's other 113 medical schools. Enough of the past and the present. A Dean must emphasize the future. In a traditional commencement orientation he utters phrases, clauses and sentences encouraging you to prepare for the future through continued learning, periodic rededication to mission, and gradual. consistent professional and individual growth. The theme emulates the words of that former midnight rider. Paul Revere, but instead of concentrating on the British, it emphasizes the prospect of change and is paraphrased as "change IS coming! change is coming!" Heretical it might appear, the hero of current deans' themes should probably be none less an expert than the coach of the Washington Redskins, George Allen, who proclaims "The future is now." Certainlv, for the fields of medicine. health. and education, "change is n~w." At no time in the history of the Western World, the United States and 1ew York State. in particular. have the fortunes and lives of our citizens been tied to the productivity. accessibility, availability and cost effectiveness of the health care system and of the medical educational system. No longer are we perceived simply as resources for the production of knowledge and manpower. Rather we are appreciated as integral partners with industry and government in the creation of and in the solutions of the so-called health care crisis in this countr)'. As such we are perceived both as cause and as effect. A true Catch-22 situation! As such there is no wa)' in which most of you. if not all. can escape additional conflictual situations in the future concerning your expectations and needs as health professionals as they relate to the expectations of society. It is my prediction that many of the symptoms you experienced during your second year of medical school will recur. But you are fortunate in that you have learned to cope. and you have learned that the solution to conflict can be pleasing and rewarding. But to cope successfully you will have to reinforce yourselves periodically with the awareness that )'Our values as physicians will be expanded and broadened. regardless of specialty selection to include functions probabl> not previous!)' envisioned. l cannot enumerate all of the possibilities. but I am personally con\'inced that each of you will have to share in the solutions of the health care crisis, and as such, you \\ill not only be patient advocates and professional advocates, but you will become the foundations that will balance the needs and expectations of patients. of physicians. and of society. with the resources and expertise available to us. In the last analysis. your energy and innovation will be directed toward participation to the solutions as facilitators. Having reviewed your first four-year track record. I kno\.'\.' you are up to it. My admonition to you is not to forget the lessons of the past as you go forward. Good luck and congratulations! FALL. 1977 41 Chcrr~ll fhorpt•. Dr. Rrcherl �l :--..... \. Dr Melzock Acupuncture The Harrington lecturer was selected by a student-faculty committee of the Medical School. The lectures were created in 1896 by the will of the late Dr. Devillo W. Harrington, professor of genital and urinary diseases at the School of Medicine. A cupuncture is a method of controlling pain, according to Dr. Ronald Melzack, professor of psychology at McGill University. Addressing Medical School students and faculty at a Harrington lecture, Dr. Melzack said,"acupuncture is a kind of folk medicine. There is no evidence that it cures anything (not even deafness). but it can be useful in taking pain away. Acupuncture should not be overlooked because it can be effective in the treatment of low back pain and arthritis. When acupuncture was used in surgery in the western world il did not work." American doctors who went to China with President Nixon were enthusiastic about acupuncture. According to the literature acupuncture was supposed to cure everything, but this is not true. "But saying acupuncture is a lot of 'hog wash' is wrong. But the future of acupuncture is very limited,'' Dr. Melzack said. He compared acupuncture with the newer method of stimulating sensitive spots in the body by using disc electrons on the surface of the skin to relieve pain. "No needles are used and this procedure can be administered by a physical therapist. We have found no statistical difference between these two methods of treatment. When you stimulate the nerve it relieves pain. Using electrical stimulation at acupuncture points relieves pain, but it doesn't eliminate all pain." The Montreal psychologist pointed out that pain takes away pain. "We have known for many years that pain on one side of the body may take away pain on the other side of the body. Intense pain for a brief period may take away pain that has lasted a long time." The educator-lecturer pointed out that everyone has the same level of sensation or pain. "But the point at which a person says it hurts or 'I can't take it any more' varies with different cultures. Mediterranean people respond quicker and complain more loudly than Northern Europeans." Another type of folk medicine was cupping, used by the Greeks and Romans in ancient times. It was used to relieve back pains, Dr. Melzack said. Everyone has trigger points of pain. especially around the clavicle. Trigger points may be found in the area of pain or at some distance from the pain. "In China, as well as in the West, we discovered that by applying pressure or needles at trigger points pain was relieved. We haven't looked at trigger points since 1940s, and it is time that we investigate them again," the professor said. Hypnosis and muscle relaxation feedback (not alpha feedback) also seem helpful in treating tension headaches and some types of backaches, Dr. Melzack noted. The Canadian professor said there were about100 pain clinics in the United States and Canada. "There has been a revolution in pain in recent years and as a result we understand pain mechanisms better today. Pain can be very subtle. Some people have pain from accidents that happened 10 to 15 years ago." As vice-president of the International Association for the Study of Pain in North America, Dr. Melzack hopes to establish residency programs in pain mechanism for medical students. This will probably be a cooperative venture with residency programs in neurology and anesthesiology. 42 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"Often a sympathtic physician with good bed-side manners can do more to relieve aches and pains than medication." Dr. )'..lclzack said. For relieving pain in cancer patients Or. ~1elzack suggests using a mixture of analgesic compounds that patients drink likll .1 cocktail every four hours. "ll really reduces their pain.' " he concluded.O J Seven Buswell Fellowships The School of Medicine in July awarded Buswell Fellowships to seven physician-scientists. continuing a program which Dean John Naughton has described as "analogous to the Cc~rccr Development Program of the :-..:a tiona! Institutes of l lealth." Recipients of this year's awards. their .:vied School department. and their area of scientific endeavor are: Arthur E. Orlick, Medicine. cardiology; Alan I. Leibowitz. :'1.1edicine. gastroenterology: Andras Koreyni-Both. Pt~thology. electron microscop~: Robert C. Welliver. Pediatrics. immunology; Katsumi Yoshida. Medicine. endocrinolog); 1\lario A. Pisancv. Medicine. endocrinology: and Donald Cooney. Surgery. pediatric surgery. The Hochstetler Endowment which made the Buswell Research Fellow Program a reality is a true asset to this School of Medicine. Dean Naughton said, "for it creates an opportunity for potentially gifted physician-scientists to dedicate a period of their life to concentrated effort in a field of their choice at a stipend commensurate with their academic growth and achievement. The program is closely monitored b1 a facult~ committee chaired by Dr. Barbara Rennick. The candidates must submit a r<'search proposal which receives close scrutiny as to its content and promise. An awardee can participate for a minimum of thrne months to a maximum of three vears.'' The revie\\. committee e\~aluates the qualifications .tnd promise of each candidate. the scientific merit of the propust!d research program. and the potential career goals of each applicant in arriving at their recommendations. Their reflections are made known to the dean who, in turn. makes a final decision after wnsultation with the review committee chairman. Very high standards are applied to the selection process, :-.!aughton said. "and each recipient is held in high regard ." The great majority of previous awardees ha\'1! gone on to records of academic achievement at SU0. Y/8. other institutions in the United States or at foreign universities. In the clinical departments. the Department of Medicine has sponsored 44 Buswell Fellows and in the basic science clep<Htmcnts. Microbiology has sponsored 43. A total of 42 other Fellows have been sponsored by eight other departments.D Fi\1.1 •• 19ii �The 1977 Blizzard I t is summer, but people are still talking about Buffalo's worst storm. With winds howling at 60 miles an hou r, snow drifting to 15 feet, temperalures below zero and the wind-chill at minus 50 the late january, early February storm paralyzed Western New York for four davs. The M~dical School's associated hospitals found themselves centers of unexpected activity. caring for large influxes of ambulatory patients and serving as impromptu shelters for thousands of the stranded. It took ingenuil> as well as extraordinary effort to keep them functioning. Snowmobiles. military trucks and other four-wheel drive vehicles fetched supplies and hauled marooned doctors and nurses to and from the hospitals. Physicians and administrators manned cafeterias and laundries. The medical and nursing staff at the hospitals were hard pressed to handle the patient crunch. Scores were admitted for frostbite, heart attacks, trauma. and carbon monoxide poisoning At the Buffalo General Dr. Martin Plaut, associate professor of medicine, put in his first 30-hour stint since he was an intern. "It was like wartime." he said. More than half of the staff (2,500 workers) slept over the first night. converting floors, desks, and lab tables to beds. Children's Hospital found 50 beds for parents of patients who were stranded along with many of its own staff. Free meals were provided. bu t many employees braved the storm to eat at a nearby pizza parlor. The hospital's milk supply was running short as the storm subsided. At Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital at least one employee had her first snowmobile ride to make it to work as an emergency room nurse. The Fire Companies of Snyder, Eggertsville and Harris Hill brought in emergency supplies. At Gates Circle over 400 employees, doctors, volunteers. visitors and other unexpected guests had to be fed, bedded and rested. The Buffalo Police. Coast Guard and volunteers with four-wheel drive vehicles transported employees home and back to the hospital. At Veterans Hospital those stranded were given free food, popcor n and their choice of three feature movies. Beds and overstuffed chairs in the lounges and conference rooms were available for the staff and visitors. Dr. john Cudmore, M'62. clinical associate professor at the Medical School. served with the National Guard (Lt. Col.) during the storm. He and Rick Warner, respiratory therapist at Children's Hospital. flew by helicopter to Bradford General Hospital in Northwestern Pennsylvania to transfer a five-month-old child experiencing respiratory problems to Buffalo. They provided inflight life support to the child utilizing a portable incubator. It was the same story at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, Deaconess, Emergency, Sisters and Columbus Hospitals.D 44 THE BUFFALO PHYS!ClA:-.J , �, A 1946 Medical School graduate has contributed $40,000 tov\ard equipment and medical education for Sisters Hospital. Or. Albert G. Rowe, clinical assistant professor of anesthesiology. said the money came from doing extra work-therapy and OB anesthesia. "When you think of a donation. you usually think of something like ten dollars. That's not going to help much at all. It begins to be meaningful when you give $500 or $1,000."' Or. Rowe said. In 1965 he was a patient in very serious condition. In appreciation of his recovery and to benefit the hospital community he made this contribution. Dr. Rowe's funding has also gone either in \\hole or in part for Fetal Monitoring, Coronary Stress Testing, Advanced Neonatal Care, Audio-Visual Training Aids including Color TV Camera, Video Tape Recorder and Recording, Resusci-Annc, all within the space of his five years at Sisters. He directs further funds toward the education of medical students, one of whom recent!~ graduated magna cum laude, which \1\.as a source of great satisfaction. Or. Rowe believes that physicians should be interested and involved in the future of the voluntarv health svstem as it affects hospitals. · · "I believe third part} payers have been a di\'iSi\c influence among physicians, patients and hospitals. I would like to help change that and bring back a sense of community. I don't think I alone can effect a change," he philosophizes, referring to that sense of community. "It's going to take the raising of the consciousness level of many more people for a turnabout like that."O Dr. A lbert Rowe Hollum nm Jumes Crumhrom•.

"Our goal is to provide primary health care for persons who don't have a private physician. We are the ·family doctor' to adults. Any individual 16 and over will be accepted as a patient." Dr Robert L. Dickman said.

Dr Dickman said planning and development for the Center were steered by a Citi:wns Advisorv Committee established "to continually fore~ us to be sensitive to the people we were serving.'' Funds for the planning came from the Hospital's Leadership Council and the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program. Then the Hospital's Board of Trustees allocated funds for modernization and expansion of the Center. The renovation was also supported by a grant from the )ames H. Cummings Foundation. Or. Dickman said that the Center has a commitment to provide care for residents in the immediate area of Buffalo General. Its services are also a\'ailable to anyone who feels the Center is accessible. Each patient is assigned to one of three health care teams (a full-time physician, nurse practitioner, practical nurse and unit secretary). As long as an individual is a patient of the Center, his care will be provided by the same team. The Center is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Patients must have an appointment. Individuals with acute problems may be seen within 24 to 48 hours. In addition to Dr. Dickman. the full-time physicians in the general medical clinics are Dr. Michael F. 1 oe. the assistant director, and Dr. Pravinchandra V. Mehta.

In addition to the primary care services the Center offers employee health. walk in service for patients. and 29 adult specialty clinics. "What a patient pays for the Center's services is based on the person's insurance coverage and ability to pay. The Center offers comprehensive personal medical care of the highest standard, with each patient having his ca re directed by one physician," Dr. Dickman said. Patients have responded very enthusiastically to the "personalized" attention and the new facilities. In addition to seeing "their" doctor or nurse practitioner on an appointment basis, they are able to call the Center and speak to the same people about any health problems. If they have a medical problem during the night or on weekends, they are instructed to call the Emergency Clinic. All patients have access to the backup services of the entire hospital. including referral to a full range of specialists in adult specialty clinics. "All of us who have worked on this project believe it can go a long way towards improving health services to our immediate community and can serve as a model hospital-based program for the entire area:· Dr. Dickman concluded. 0 The Classes of the 1920's Dr. Louis A. Siegel, M'23, of Los Angeles, has established a $15,000 endowment fund to support an annual Louis A. and Ruth Siegel Award.

Naughton, M.D. Dean, School of Medicine The Health Professions Educational Assistance Act of 1976 is now law. Although one might cynically ask who is it assisting, there is little doubt that this legislation which required several years of congressional effort to complete, tremendous controversy, and considerable agony on the part of leaders in medical education prior~~ passage is, indeed, a landmark. Its principles and directions wil affect the very nature of the medical educational process and the character of future physicians for years to come. There are too many features to list in this communique. However, there are some items which affect SUNY / Buffalo directly. These are principally three: 1. A national quota which will fix the number of students reb quired to volunteer for the newly created ational Healt Service Corps at enrollment to medical school. 2 . Creation of an educational experience for American students enrolled in foreign medical schools. 3. Provision that by 1980, fifty per cent of the graduate trainees supervised by a medical school and its faculty must be assigned to a primary care specialty. These are defined a~ family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics an gynecology-a bs tetrics. . 11 Failure to meet these requirements by the School can and WId probably lead to forfeiture of the proposed capitation. This coulf mean a loss of about 1.2 million annually in revenue to SUNY/BU falo. I am pleased to report that SUNY/ Buffalo already has a viable COTRANS program which has made it possible to matriculate ten to twelve New York students annually. Similarly, we now have fo:ty two per cent of our supervised graduate education placements ~n primary care, and our proposed future expansions particularly 1n the Veterans Administration Hospital should make it possible for us to comply with that aspect of the legislation by 1980. The first requirement is the most difficult to predict. At the present time there will not be a per sch.ool quota, but rather, a national q~ota desig~e~ to attract twenty hve per cent of an entering Amencan mediC~ school class, or approximately 3,800 volunteers . Should thiS system fail, future legislation might assign individual school quotas. . Thus, from the School's standpoint, I believe that we will be !0 a responsive posture and we will be able to participate in the Federally mandated program. However, there are certain pressures which will be brought to bear on medical students. I will summarize these in my next communication with you.

WINTER, 1976 1 �A Physician Faces Disseminated Re ticulum Cell Sarcoma in Himself Part VI A Can cer: It s Effects on t he Famil y of th e Patient by Samuel Sanes, M .D. INTRODUCTION In the Fall, 1975, issue of The Buffalo Physician, the Editors mentioned that my series of articles titled "A Physician Faces Disseminated Reticulum Cell Sarcoma in Himself" had ended "for the present.·· A few months later, spending the winter in Guadalajara, Mexico, I received a letter from a pathologist, one of my former students, who is now retired in Florida. "What did that 'for the present' mean?'' she asked. "When are you going to resume the series?" Here is my answer. "I have a question to put to you. Since it is my observation that frequently a family member needs more help than a cancer patient, I wonder why you do not discuss this." The retired public health nurse who made that comment in response to one of my previous articles in The Buffalo Physician is herself a ten-year survivor with lymphosarcoma, stage III-IV. She is married and has one son. Her mother and a brother, both stillli ving, have been treated for cancer. Before and after her retirement she had worked with cancer patients and their families professionally and as a volunteer. Her question, I knew, was based on personal experience and trained observation. It hit me hard. How often, I thought, do physicians-healthy themselves and without the experience of cancer in their immediate families-pay more than superficial attention to the family of a cancer patient for whom they have accepted primary responsibility? In some instances they may not even realize that the patient has a family. This is true for medical students too. In April, at the invitation of the chairman of the UB Department of Pathology, I conducted a seminar for the entire sophomore class on "What a Cancer Patient Expects from a Physician." In how many clinical conferences to date, I asked the students, had they been actually introduced to the family of a patient, its problems, and needs? Not once, they told me, except in a course in genetics, and then for scientific purposes. I asked the same question of a graduating senior and received the same answer in regard to clinical conferences in the third and fourth years. 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Yet there are those who believe that the way a cancer patient, particularly one with advanced, incurable disease, adjusts to his diagnosis, how he accepts treatment, even how long he lives, depends to a certain extent on his relations to family members and their response to him. The physician who accepts a cancer patient professionally therefore has a double responsibility. Primarily he is responsible for the well-being of the affected person but also, in a measure, for that of his family. In any type and stage of cancer both may need help in coping with the initial psychologic shock and panic induced by the diagnosis. If the cancer is stage I-II, and treatment proves effective, promising long-term survival or "cure," the continuing effects on the family, as on the patient, may be minimal. But there can be problems even when the outlook seems to be a favorable one. For some patients and families the treatment and its consequences may be nearly as difficult to accept as advanced, incurable disease. It is not easy to face up to radical mastectomy, colostomy, laryngectomy, radical head and neck surgery, amputation of a limb or operations involving the sex organs. The major problems however come during the treatment and follow-up of patients who fall in the 65-70 percent estimated by the American Cancer Society to have residual, disseminated, therapyresistant, progressive, recurring, complicated, terminal disease within five years after the original diagnosis and treatment. The family, like the affected person, is totally unprepared for those problems, as it is for the initial diagnosis. They are not only physical but mental, emotional, sexual, social, economic, religious, and philosophic ones. How it meets them may affect not only the patient's condition and course, but the well-being and survival of the family itself. Cancer in a family may be so divisive and destructive a force that it produces sufficient tension and friction to lead to estrangement, separation, and divorce. On the other hand, it may be so strengthening and unifying that it leads to a closer, deeper, and more sustaining relationship than ever existed before. What happens within the family depends not only on its individual members but on the patient's physicians, hospital and other health-care personnel (special therapists, social workers family counselors, visiting nurses, homemakers, health aides: clergymen); employers, friends and neighbors; other cancer patients and families; the local unit of the American Cancer Society; community facilities and services. Varied factors cause varying situations in various families. So the families of cancer patients have problems and may need help. Let's take two almost completely contrasting examples. d-- WINTER, 1976 3 �EXAMPLE I FAMILY PROFILE An 85-year-old retired man lived in a small rural community (population 600). He and his wife, 82, had been married more than 60 years. They had a son who was a physician and two daughters who were professionals in fields allied to medicine. All lived in other parts of the United States. The man had considered himself to be in good health. Lately he had taken laxatives for constipation. He was mentally and socially alert. He and his wife were self-reliant. They went shopping, did their own housework and outside chores, and took care of a large garden. Their income was limited-Social Security and a small pension-but enough for their needs. CLINICAL CONDITION AND COURSE OF PATIENT One night, a couple of hours after dinner, the husband was seized with colicky abdominal pain. When it became obvious that there was something wrong and it wasn't going to right itself, the wife called the family doctor. He came to the home and made a presumptive diagnosis of "acute bowel obstruction." He then called the town's volunteer fire department, which dispatched its ambulance to take the patient to a university teaching center hospital 70 miles away. Dr. Roswell Park, after whom the New York State Institute for the Study of Malignant Diseases at Buffalo is named, had varied interests. He wrote an introduction to a book titled The and .

Five dlustrate this article. ~merican There, an emergency colostomy was performed about 2 a.m. for an obstruction of the descending colon from what appeared to be a localized carcinoma. Two weeks later a resection of the colon with lymph nodes and mesentery was done. There was no gross intraperitoneal-hepatic spread. Pathologic examination showed a highly-differentiated adenocarcinoma, Dukes ' A. All nodes were free of cancer. (X-ray films of the chest taken preoperatively were negative for metastases.) The patient, after an uneventful post-operative course, returned home. He subsequently was readmitted to the hospital for closure of the colostomy. Again there were no postoperative complications. The hospital stay was of normal length. Regular follow-up examinations have been negative for recurrence, metastases or new primary lesions in the rectum and colon. Today, one and a half years after resection of the colonic cancer, the patient is in excellent health. In recent months he has journeyed by car and plane to visit children, cousins, brother, and sister. He walks a mile or so a day, takes an active interest in life around him. EFFECTS ON FAMILY Throughout the problems were few. husband's and father's illness, family One was the distance of the hospital from the home. The patient wanted his wife close at hand but daily visits were impossible. They compromised on daily, sometimes twice-a-day, phone calls. The physician-son, notified by his mother, got in touch with his father's surgeon immediately. The surgeon was happy to keep him 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �informed by long-distance telephone and the son relayed the information to his mother and two sisters. All three children telephoned their parents regularly-one of the daughters from abroad where she was vacationing. When the father was finally discharged, the surgeon supplied the son with a full record, including copies of the operative, laboratory, X-ray, and pathologic reports. When the pathologic report verified the diagnosis of cancer, the question arose as to whether the surgeon should tell the patient. He consulted the wife and son. The patient had recently lost a sister and a brother-in-law to cancer. Because of his age, type of personality, and dread of the disease - and because of the clinical and pathologic stage and histologic grade of the lesion, it was decided not to be specific about the findings unless he asked. He did not. He was satisfied with the diagnosis of "tumor." This posed an additional problem for the wife since a few close friends and relatives knew that the tumor was malignant. Some of them were elderly and she could not be sure that they would not use the word "cancer" inadvertently in talking to the patient. She sat in on all conversations, monitoring them carefully. After the resection the patient was eager to go home as soon as possible despite the colostomy. He could not take care of it himself so the wife called the community health nurse who showed her how to do it. Concerned about her husband's loss of weight, she prepared tasty, nourishing meals and encouraged him to eat even when he wasn't hungry. She also devised a system of pulleys and ropes by which he could pull himself up in bed and exercise his arms and shoulders during his convalescence. A devout believer, though not a regular church-goer, the wife found strength in prayer. Friends and neighbors were attentive and helpful. The illness caused no real financial problems. Medicare, Blue Cross-Blue Shield, and a retiree's extended benefits plan met nearly all of the hospital and medical bills, which amounted to $7210. The most difficult thing for the wife was filling out the numerous complicated forms required for reimbursement and straightening out the inevitable foul ups not of her making. Finally, tears running down her cheeks, she sought the assistance of a social worker in the County's Office of the Aging. The s econd example was different from the first in nearly every way. EXAMPLE II FAMILY PROFILE The patient lived in a suburb of a metropolitan county (population 1, 100,000) with his wife of eight and a half years and their two sons, aged 3 and 5. Though only 30, he was already an executive in a firm that did business throughout the state. A promising career lay ahead of him. WINTER, 1976 5 �His wife, 29, was one of a close family of nine children. Her father, a graduate of the UB Medical School, had been a family practitioner prior to his death of coronary heart disease. Her mother was a registered nurse. One brother was a physician, one sister a nurse. An uncle also was a physician, a graduate of the UB Medical School. The couple had worked together in the same office prior to their marriage and the wife often said that when both children were in elementary school she would like to return to the business world. Meanwhile they shared the responsibilities and decisions for the home and the children. The husband was an avid golfer, often competing in area tournaments. The wife was learning the game. They had recently bought their own home and joined a country club. CLINICAL CONDITION AND COURSE OF PATIE T In early November the husband developed a persistent cough and low-grade fever. His personal physician, a family practitioner, admitted him to a teaching hospital affiliated with a local medical school. X-ray films of the chest revealed abnormalities. The right testicle was enlarged. Two days after the patient's admission, a urologist was called in consultation. He recommended an operation. This was delayed for a week because of congestion in the lungs shown on the X-ray films . THE VISIT TO THE HOSPITAL-Jean Geoffroy . . . Boy in pediatric ward VISit ed by his fath er. The final pathologic diagnosis was returned two days after orchiectomy. It was "embryonal carcinoma." The next morning the patient was transferred to a cancer institute by ambulance. There clinical, X-ray and laboratory examinations, and staging procedures showed the carcinoma to be disseminated with retroperitoneal, mediastinal, and pulmonary metastases. Experimental chemotherapy, including Bleomycin, was prescribed, to be given in courses. The side effects during the first course were severe. The patient suffered gastric hemorrhaging and had to be fed through a nasogastric tube and intravenously. For several days he was on the critical list. In subsequent courses of chemotherapy the side effects were milder. The patient was weak and tired. He didn't eat and lost weight. He lost some of the hair on his head. A week after his admission to the Institute the patient was given a pass to spend Thanksgiving Day with his family. He was discharged as an inpatient a few days before Christmas. Metastases had diminished in size with chemotherapy. He would continue with weekly visits as an outpatient. After two weeks at home he returned to his employment on a part-time basis but was soon working full time. He felt relatively well. He was readmitted to the Institute on March 2 for a surgical approach to removal of the remaining metastases in the abdomen and chest . The operation was performed the next day but the disease had spread too far to be eradicated by surgery. The patient didn't rally from pulmonary complications [fibrosis, embolism, and anoxia) 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �and hepatic and renal necrosis, apparently of anoxic origin. After a little more than two weeks in the intensive care unit he was transferred to another hospital for support of his vital functions by machines. Most of the time he was unconscious. Death came three days later, March 22. EFFECTS 0 FAMILY From the moment of the first hospitalization, the husband and wife shared their fears and hopes. They talked freely, participated in making decisions. The most frustrating period for both was the 12 days in the first hospital. The family physician saw the patient every day but was noncommittal. He never talked with the wife. She tried desperately to get to see him and talk with him. She telephoned his office. His secretary assured her that he would call her back. He didn't. She spoke to the hospital receptionist and left a message for the doctor when he signed in, asking him to come to her husband's room to talk to her. He didn't. Thinking he might not be in the hospital afternoons and evenings when she usually visited, she made it a point to go in twice in the morning. Perhaps, she thought, she could see him when he was making rounds. The nurse told her that he had already left. As the days passed the wife's anger and bitterness grew. She had the feeling that the physician was avoiding her. She resented not knowing what was going on. What did the X-ray films show? What was the outlook? The urologist was more open and informative. The husband and wife both liked him. When the patholog'c report was in, he went to the husband's room at 6 p.m. and told him that the tissue in the resected testicle was malignant and that there were a few spots on his chest film that were not due to pneumonia but cancer. He would be transferred to the cancer institute the following morning. "They know all about it." When the wife came in at 7 p.m. the husband didn't greet her with his usual smile. He had always been able to cover up pain and fear. Now, however, he "cried like a baby" as he told her that he had cancer, that it had already spread, that he was being transferred to the cancer Institute. He was going to die, he knew. Only a year before he had watched two of his "buddies" in their thirties die of malignant disease at the Institute. The wife didn't cry-not then. She sat on his bed, her arms around him, telling him that he must hope, that he didn't have to die. She cried later, in the car driving home. She continued to cry softly, so that the children wouldn't hear her, after she went to bed. Although she was exhausted, she couldn't sleep. She cried most of the night. The next day she had the problem of telling the children, her husband's family, her own, both out of town, and his close friends and co-workers. She told the children only that their father was seriously ill and would have to be in the hospital for some time. She feared that if she used the word "cancer" some playmate to whom they repeated it dWINTER, 1976 7 THE A XIOUS MOME T - Benjamin Marc Louis Va u tier Young wife and mother being examined b y a physician while her family looks on. Ev erybody awaits th e doctor's verdict. �might tell them that" cancer was a fatal disease, that their father was going to die. As it was, they weren't really frightened. The younger boy had been hospitalized shortly before. He had come home. There was no reason to suspect that his father might not. Both her own family and her husband's reacted with love and concern and were supportive throughout the husband's illness. Neither her mother nor her brother however was optimistic about the outcome. They knew too much about the disease. The sister who was a nurse in a pediatric intensive care unit on the West Coast was more comforting. Later, during the final stage of the husband's illness, she flew East to "special" him and console her sister. The husband's mother met the news with optimism, sending word to her son that he "mustn't give up." His father said little. Friends and neighbors tried to buoy up the wife's spirits. She found hope in the fact that one of the neighbors, an elderly man, was doing well under treatment for incurable cancer, the disease apparently in remission. At the Institute there was no further problem of "not knowing" what was going on. The wife had an obsession to know everything, the bad as well as the good. She had not mentioned at the first hospital that she was from a medical family and she did not do so at the Institute until the end, after her husband's surgery. THE COMING OF SPRING-Eichstoedt Young military officer-husband furloughed home to convalesce from bottle wounds. HIS wife stands protectively beside him. Wah the coming of worm weather hiS phySICian will permit him to return to his command. But on the morning of his admission, a physician took both husband and wife to the solarium and gave them a forthright account of what to expect. He answered all questions. He told them that he could make no definite prognosis, but that the average the husband could expect to live without treatment would be three months. There was no definitive treatment. Chemotherapy and surgery were being employed experimentally. There could be serious side effects to the chemotherapy. There was no certainty that anything that could be done would change the three-month average. The couple talked it over and decided to take the gamble. When the physician left them alone, the wife asked her husband if he would have made the same decision were he a bachelor. He admitted that he probably would not have risked the side effects for such uncertain benefit if he had not had a wife and children. Throughout his hospitalization there was no attempt to conceal from him or his wife anything about his condition. The physician gave the husband permission to pull his own chart at the nurse's station. He did so, pointing out to his wife what it said about his condition. The head of service made it a point to see the wife when he made his rounds. If she was not in her husband's room, he sent someone to find her or if she had gone home called her on the phone. He gave her other numbers besides his office where he might be reached at any time-the Institute library, his home. After her husband's surgery, when she was spending up to 24 hours a day at his side, a medical social worker sought her out and asked if there was anything she could do to help. She offered her a locker to keep her things in, showed her how to get to the cafeteria, 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �volunteered to help her find a place to stay near the Institute. Although the wife never had to call upon her for anything more, she was most grateful. After the first shock of the diagnosis of disseminated, metastatic cancer, the husband and wife kept up each other's spirits with hope, understanding, even humor. The husband looked and felt awful during the courses of chemotherapy. But if his wife, watching him, let her concern show on her face he would chide her. "Don't start moping," he admonished her once. "If you do, no matter how I feel, I'm going to get out of bed and give you a great kick in your you-know-where." It worked. Later, after he had died, the wife said that she had never been really depressed-fearful and lonely, but not depressed. When her husband was on the critical list during the first course of chemotherapy, she cried, but out of sheer fright. Until the end she kept up her spirits, her will to fight. "Others had told me how depressed they were when a loved one had cancer," she recalled. "Sometimes I'd wake up in the morning and think 'Is this the day I'm going to be depressed?' I never was. I told myself it was going to be a long battle but we'd make it. I took it day by day, thanking God as each day passed." She did sometimes feel "boxed in" sitting for long hours at her husband's bedside. Things seemed to be closing in on her. At such times, her husband would urge her to get out, to go shopping. If friends dropped in he would ask them to take her out for dinner and a drink. She was torn between her desire to be with her husband, to give him all of her time, and her duty to her children. Neighbors and friends looked after them. A younger sister came to stay for a while. When it became obvious that the end was near she sent them to her mother in another city where they would feel secure and loved. But she missed them when she returned briefly to the dark, empty house. Often when she did so she fell into bed too physically and emotionally exhausted to even take off her clothes. Although there were times when her husband didn't want her or anyone else to see him, they were few. He wanted to spend as much time as possible with her though he talked, she said, mainly of his work. On Thanksgiving day, when he had not seen his children for nearly three weeks, he asked for and received a pass to leave the Institute. His sister and brother-in-law, who lived nearby, invited the family to their apartment so that he would not have to travel to his own more distant home. But when he got there he had no appetite for food, company or activity. He was sick and tired, happy to just lie on the couch. They took him back to the Institute early. Both husband and wife had been brought up in devout Catholic homes. The husband had for a time been a seminary student. But in later years he had thought less of the rituals of religion. Sunday had become a day for playing with the children and golfing rather than going to church. In the Institute, a young priest visited him for long talks which brought him much peace of mind. He attended Mass. His parents, d-WINTER, 1976 9 WORN OUT-Thomas Faed Older couple living in poverty. The wife lies in bed sick. The husband dozes in a nearby chair, exhausted from his day 's labors and his nursing duties after arrival home. �particularly his mother, rejoiced when he told them. (Ironically the priest who had been so helpful left the priesthood shortly before the patient died.) The priest never looked up the wife, but after her husband entered the Institute she found that it gave her peace and comfort to go to a nearby church and just sit quietly there, away from the immediacy of the Institute, praying. She did not attend regular services and neither saw nor asked to see a priest. She asked questions of God, not in anger but in puzzlement. Why should her husband have cancer? Why should he be facing death? Why should the children lose a father? There was no answer. She has not yet, she says, been able to accept the dictum, "Thy will be done," but hopes to some day. The two months at home, between the husband's December discharge from the Institute and his readmission in March for surgery, were bitter-sweet, a blend of happiness and sadness. "What a miracle!" the wife wrote to friends who had left town for the winter. "Only eight weeks ago he was so very sick and now he is thoroughly enjoying every minute of every day." Not, perhaps, "every minute." The husband realized that his improvement might be only temporary. He took his insurance policies out of his safe deposit box and left them with his insurance agent where they would be readily available. The box would be inaccessible after his death. The children were taken care of financially, but the husband wished now that he had spent more time with them, less on the golf course. If his improvement continued, he said, they would take a trip with the children. With cancer and treatment he had become impotent. "It doesn't matter," the wife assured him. ''I'm so glad to have you here, alive and better. That's all I care about." Before his illness they had slept in twin beds. When he came home after the institution of chemotherapy, they shared a double one. He felt better close to her. Often they would go to bed at 9:30 and talk until midnight. THE DOCTOR-Luke Fildes . . The best-known pointing in Great Bntom and the United States of a relationship involvmg a patient, physician and family. The children delighted in having their father home again. At Christmas they helped him dress as Santa Claus for an office party, gave him a hat to cover his thinning hair. They seemed to understand that they couldn't run into the bedroom as they had once done in the morning, to waken him with kisses and roughhousing. Instead they cuddled close and played quiet games with him. Returning to work part-time, then full-time, he made few concessions to his disease. A friend gave him a wig that he wore jauntily, making no pretense that it was his own hair, taking it off for laughs. When four old friends dropped in weekly to visit, they all drank beer together, though he had to excuse himself and go to the bathroom to throw up every 20 minutes. He went back to the Institute for surgery, still optimistic that somehow by some miracle he would yet be cured. After the operation, the Institute bent its rules for visiting in the intensive care unit so that the wife could stay with him aroundthe-clock. When his sister-in-law flew in, she was given permission to "special" him so that the wife could get some rest. 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �i The physician kept her informed about what was going on. Once, while sitting at her husband's side after the operation, she broke down and cried, thinking he was asleep. He opened his eyes, pressed her hand, and summoned enough strength to wink at her. Soon after, he sank into a coma and never regained consciousness. After his death, the wife told the children that their father had gone to Heaven. Both she and he had believed in personal immortality. "I don't want my daddy to die," the little one protested, weeping stormily. The older one was calmer. He hugged his mother, told her not to cry. Later he told his little brother that he too had wanted to cry, "but if I did, that would only make mommy cry more." Because the husband was on experimental therapy, there was no charge for his treatment at the Institute. But the bill for the initial hospitalization and physicians totaled $2172, that for the final three days in the second hospital $8410. Insurance took care of almost all of the expenses. Throughout the husband's illness, his employer paid full salary and insurance premiums. In the days that followed the mother talked often with the little boys about their father, recalling the happy times. She was honest with them. She told them that their father had died of cancer, that all that could be done for him had been done, but that the disease had been discovered too late to be cured. They were curious about the Heaven where he had gone. "Do they have birthday cakes there?" the little one asked one day. Today the wife is working part-time when the children are in school. Family and friends give her love and encouragement, but it is a lonely life despite them. At night, when the children have gone to bed, there is no one to talk to, to plan with, to love. She dreams, all over again, that he has cancer. Once she awakened at 3 a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep, thinking of her husband and their life together. She got out of bed, found the movie projector and some old home movies. Alone in the darkness she watched her husband and herself in happier days playing with the children. Then, comforted, she went back to bed and to sleep.

Dr. Lee Resigns The articles are based on information obtained from fellow patients and their families, workers in oncology (physicians, nurses, social workers, psychiatric counselor) and the literature (professional writings, personal narratives by patients and families, newspaper and magazine reports and articles.) So that readers of the Journal might identify as closely as possible with the contents of the articles, I have emphasized in examples patients associated with medicine and dentistry whom I have come to know as fellow cancer patients in the past 3Vz years. They include seven physicians, a medical student, a nurse, a dentist, a medical editor, the wife, father, son-in-law and brother-in-Jaw of physicians, the hLsband of a nurse. Eight are alive three to 12 years after the diagnosis in six of lymphoma, one of head and neck cancer, one of malignant testicular tumor. Four are alive seven months to three years after the diagnosis in three of lymphoma, one of cancer of the colon. Three died within three years of diagnosis of cancer of the stomach, cancer of the colon, and cancer of the testicle. Information has come directly through observation, interviews, conversations, and letters. The wife of a physician-patient furnished me with pertinent entries from her diary. o Dr. Joseph C. Lee has resigned to become professor and head of the department of anatomical sciences at the University of Oklahoma November 1. He had been on the Medical School faculty 14 years. Since 1968 he has been professor of anatomy and research associate professor of neurosurgery at the Medical and Dental Schools and research assistant neurosurgeon at The Buffalo General Hospital. Dr. Lee's research is on electron microscopy and autoradiography of intracranial tumors in man and experimental animals, and of chronic cerebral anoxia. He is a native of Canton, China where he received his bachelor's and master's degrees in 1947. Dr. Lee received his Ph.D. in 1961 and his M.D. in 1962 from the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada. Dr. Lee has authored or co-authored five books and contributed chapters to several others. He has written 28 papers and 34 abstracts for professional journals. He is a member of 18 national and international societies in Canada, England and the United States. Dr. Lee has won many honors and awards. The IRIS, 1976 Medical School yearbook, was dedicated to him for his "energy, openness and expansive human spirit." He is listed in the World Who's Who in Science, American Men in Science, and Who's Who in the East, and many others. o 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Mr. Diedrick, Dr. Kock New Surgical Technique General view of finished reservoir. Melford Diedrick, supervisor of the medical illustration unit of the Educational Communications Center - Health Sciences has recently been at the University of Goteborg, Sweden. Professor Nils G. Kock, Chairman of Goteborg's Department of Surgery, invited him to illustrate his new surgical technique for the formation of a continent ileostomy reservoir. The reservoir is fashioned from a terminal segment of the patient's ileum and is affixed to the inside abdominal wall. Only a small flat stoma appears in the right lower quadrant enabling the patient to wear the briefest bikini. Evacuation is done voluntarily by inserting a tube. In 1968, during the early stages of development, Professor Kock worked in the surgical laboratory at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. Here Diedrick illustrated the early experimental phase of the procedure done on animals. Since Professor Kock returned to Sweden, Diedrick has illustrated the progressive refinements periodically via overseas correspondence. To illustrate the technical details that have been applied successfully to over 200 patients in Goteborg and undetermined numbers in various parts of the world, it was necessary to have the Medical Illustrator observe the procedure directly. To obtain a perfectly functional permanent ileostomy reservoir the surgical technique must be performed with accuracy. o WINTER, 1976 13 �Enzyme Activity/Aging Graduate student David Schreiber and Dr. Lone examine growth of nematodes. Mel Armosino, research assistant , assays enzyme activity in on aging animal. He is young, just 33, and he is dynamic. So say the students of Dr. RogerS. Lane, U / B biochemistry faculty memberfor four years and recipient of a University teaching award for excellence. His enthusiasm for the role that enzyme activity plays in all living organisms spills over into his courses on General Biochemistry and Man and his Environment. For a sense of relevancy is what he is after, be it in the classroom or in the laboratory. The assistant professor of biochemistry's basic interest in proteins was the result of the first clear-cut evidence of a control site for enzyme activity, one that was separate from a catalytic one. "That was a decade ago," he recalls, "while I was attending the University of Michigan." Following his arrival in Buffalo, because he and U/B biologist Morton Rothstein shared similar interests, they collaborated. And their observation two years back on faulty enzyme accumulation in an aging organism, the nematode, has now been confirmed in a number of other species as well. His suspicion of a deficiency in the control mechanism for enzyme degradation, that is, a failure of the protein degradation system, has developed into an exciting new area of research-the biochemistry of aging. Dr. Lane is now trying to document whether this failure leads to accumulation of "cellular garbage" as he calls it. "For with the system's former high efficiency to eliminate abnormal proteins gone, it can no longer act as a .cleaning device for the cell," he says. Why nematodes were chosen as a model system for study, Dr. Lane explained, was due to its similarities to the aging process-the formation of aging pigment, its short lifespan, and its nondividing, nonregenerating cell system. To determine the rates of enzyme degradation in both aging as well as normal nematode cells, precise measurement tests were developed. Noted Dr. Lane, "we were the first to demonstrate a dramatic decrease in the rate of synthesis as well as degradation of total soluble protein in the aging ones." To show this deficiency in a cell's sanitation system to be a general phenomenon of aging, he is now following specific proteins in the nematode as well as in liver/ muscle of rodents. This will be done through immunologic techniques. Once he has determined why an aging organism is unable to maintain a stable level of abnormal protein, Dr. Lane will focus on initial cell failure. He notes it may be responsible for the formation as well as accumulation of abnormal proteins. 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Undergrad Jacob Utzig purifies enzymes by gel chromatography as Dr. Lane looks on. Also scheduled for further scrutiny is the role that novel cofactors play in catalytic activity. While vitamin Bs-dependent enzymes have already been documented, he can point to a new class associated with alpha-keto acids. But because it is a class for which there is as yet no direct evidence in mammals, Dr. Lane will use bacterial enzymes to define what an active site looks like. And once techniques are available for purifying these mammalian enzymes, similar approaches will be applied to their study. The development of affinity labels by Dr. Lane has provided him with a new tool. With two new compounds already synthesized by him, he hopes to design others and thereby look at residues within the active sites themselves. This knowledge, he believes, may prove as important as what is known on the role of alpha keto-acid compounds. For it is these enzymes which metabolize histidine, he says. And because one of the products of histidine metabolism is histamine, Dr. Lane cannot rule out future use of these compounds in medicinal chemistry. No wonder there is excitement in his laboratories. "By biochemically regulating the activity of these enzymes," says Dr. Lane, "we may possibly be able to alter histamine's physiological effects." o WINTER, 1976 15 Graduate student Gregory Thill shows Dr. Lane respirometer measurements of histidine decarboxylase activity. Undergrads Richard James and Joyce Sutiphong check progress on the synthesis of an affinity label. �Summer Fellowships Dr. Goldrosen and Dave Rohrdanz look at side effects of immunotherapy in mouse. While some medical students are interested in medical research, their regular academic curriculum offers them no educational opportunity in this area. But a summer fellowship program, underway in Buffalo for a number of years, does. According to its current program chairman, Dr. Perry Hogan, 16 freshmen, nine sophomores, and one junior have received from $750 to $1000 over the past summer to work for an eight to ten week period in basic science or community health problems. Emphasizing the strong funding support for this type of educational experience by the Medical School, he looks for this commitment to be an ongoing one. In explaining how the program works, the associate professor of physiology noted that interested students collaborate with facul ty sponsors (who are either chosen independently or from a list available in the Dean's Office) in preparing and submitting proposals to the Summer Fellowship Committee. After all proposals have been reviewed by each committee member, they are ranked according to a grading system, one that is based on several pertinent criteria. And they are funded according to ranking. He added that two students were eligible for $1000 stipends because of their previous work. Noting these higher grants to encourage students to pursue investigative work on a continuing basis, he also hoped they might direct them to future careers in academic medicine. One, Salvatore DelPrete, had never before done research and wanted to. The other, David Rohrdanz, had and wanted to continue. Both are based at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. Salvatore, whose sponsor is Dr. Edmund Klein, is doing a study on patient immunocompetence and efficacy of combined immuno/chemotherapy of mycosis fungo ides. A usually fatal disease, it starts with skin manifestations and moves on to become a systemic one, with lymph node involvement, he said. From substantial data available following three years of treatment on 60 patients, Salvatore will be looking for parameters responsible for the difference between the few who did not respond and the many who did. For, predicts Dr. Klein, "if we can pinpoint certain immunological factors, we can come up with a profile that will be both predictive and therapeutic." But Salvatore is finding the clinical experience to be tremendous as well. Not only in the dermatology clinic, but he is getting a closer look at other forms of cancers such as melanomas and squamous cell sarcomas as well as neurological disorders that are secondary to various cancers. David Rohrdanz, on the other hand, continues a project on the mode of action of BCG begun under Dr. E. Douglas Holyoke during his undergraduate years. Now working with Laboratory Associate, Dr. Martin Goldrosen, they are determining the survival time of animals who have been given BCG before and after tumor injection. Although they have noted an increased life span, the side effects of this immunotherapy are serious ones. 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �They therefore have turned to the experimental effects of another agent, that of C. parbum, for residual problems that may follow surgery. While they trust that the clinical results will be the same, they are hoping that side effects will b!! less disastrous ones. With five summers of research behind him, David looks forward to his junior year when his research experience may be applied to a clinical setting. Dr. Hogan sees the summer fellowship program as an important one. ot only for students whom he believes to be a "good pool of talent from which to draw" but one that is good for the Medical School for "it serves as a model." And for those students who apply for a fellowship, it is an exercise in the scientific method, he adds. "For they are essentially preparing and writing up a grant proposal." The Committee-Drs.

Sultz has been named acting chairman of the department of social and preventive medicine. He joined the faculty in 1962 as a clinical assistant and was promoted to full professor in 1971. Dr. Sultz received his DDS from U/B in 1947 and his MPH degree from Columbia University in 1962. He has been the principal investigator for the Community Services Research and Development Program since 1965. The researcher-educator produced a series of community health information profiles for various counties in New York State in 1972. These provided a diagnosis of the communities' health problems, their strengths and weaknesses. These communities used this information to make judgments on new services, facilities, or to expand existing ones or reduce duplications. In other research Dr. Sultz found some new evidence linking juvenile diabetes mellitus with mumps virus. In his report to the 102nd annual meeting of the American Public Health Association he said the incidence of juvenile diabetes closely paralleled the cyclic infectious disease pattern which generally peaks every seven years. Dr. Sultz has authored or co-authored numerous scientific articles for professional journals. o Government Interference There will be more governmental interference in medicine in the years ahead, according to Dr. Ralph J. Argen, clinical assistant professor of medicine. In his review as the out-going president of the Erie County Medical Society he said, "every major committee on our board has been touched with governmental interference this past year and it will get worse in the future. Government has made greater strides in the last year against organized medicine than in any of the last 10 years." Dr. Argen said, "nothing became more evident to me throughout this past year than the need to strengthen our medical organizations. Political action is not only important but an actual necessity today in medicine. Steps must be taken to make organized medicine at least as politically influential as the press and the public think we are. I am sure our political influence is far less than we are given credit for." Dr. Argen said action should be taken by established physicians to "perpetuate" the medical care system by helping young physicians just beginning practice. "We frequently hear it is hard for patients to enter the medical care system. I submit it is even harder for a young physician to enter the system." o WINTER, 1976 19 Dr. Sultz / }v Dr. Sultz �The new students go on rounds with Dr. Aquilina at Vet erans Hospital. COTRANS Program Dr. Aquilina lectures. There are 12 new faces in the junior year. While one is a transfer student from the University of Nevada, 11 others have entered via the COTRANS Plan of the Association of American Medical Colleges. Under the program, American students who have completed their basic science education in foreign medical schools and have passed Part I of the National Boards, may be accepted into the clinical years in American medical schools. This program is now in its seventh year at the U/ B Medical School and five extra places in the junior class have been assured by the Faculty Council. Over 300 applications were received in Buffalo this year from students who were unable to find places in first year classes in this country on graduation from college. "So strong has been their motivation towards a medical career," comments admissions head Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, "that they went to foreign countries and in most cases had to master a foreign language to begin their medical education." How well have COTRANS students performed? "Very well," he said. "Our last five graduates had no difficulty in obtaining good internships." The junior year for these transfer students began over the summer with a one-week "crash course" in physical diagnosis. Directed by Dr. Joseph Aquilina at the Veterans Hospital, two students were assigned per preceptor. "Their two hours of daily lecture material were promptly implemented on ward rounds," continued Dr. Aquilina. Although much work was involved in setting up the course he feels it has been well worthwhile for these students who have studied in Italy, Mexico, Belgium, and the Philippines. "All plan to practice medicine in the United States," he said. o 20 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Fifth Pathway Program Twelve American medical students, graduates of medical schools in Guadalajara, Mexico and Bologna, Italy, enrolled in the ninemonth Fifth Pathway Program in July. This is the third group of United States Foreign Medical Students to come to Buffalo. The first group of 12 came in July 1975, the second group of nine catne in January 1976. The students are rotating at four Buffalo hospitalsDeaconess, Mercy, Millard Fillmore and Sisters. They will complete their internship March 31, 1977. Dr. Harry Alvis, who heads the USFMS Program said, "upon completion of this program the students will be eligible to appointment to a post-graduate year of residency training which is approved in the teaching hospitals of New York . The students are also eligible to sit for the licensing examination (FLEX)." Dr. Alvis is director of medical education at Millard Fillmore and a clinical associate professor of social and preventive medicine at the Medical School. o The third class in the Fifth Pathway Program, front row {left to right)-George Conner, Christopher Claydon, john Gapsis, Hillarie Soul, Robert Davis, joseph Manuele, Rolland Enoch; Second row-Stanley Drury, Donald Werner, Dr. Alvis, Milton Enoch, Roger Nicosia and john Wehby. WINTER, 1976 21 �Health Hazards E VIRONME TAL HEAJ..TH HAZARDS are not all man-made, according to Dr. David P . Rail, director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Services. "Whenever there is a fire, an agent which has been shown to cause cancer in animals, is released into the environment. Pine needles release organic compounds which produce the smog which tourists see as a haze over the Smoky Mountains." In his Harrington lecture to medical students and faculty Dr. Rall said, "more efforts must be placed on determining whether environmental factors threaten human health in ways other than producing cancer. Previous studies of such factors has focused almost solely on their ability to cause cancer. This resulted in 'big holes' in understanding the hazards of those factors." Dr. Rall, who is also assistant surgeon general (USPHS). said "no one has looked at cardiovascular and kidney disease to see if the same things happen." He noted that the environment has always been hazardous and that new hazards are appearing all the time. "Especially since the end of World War I, man has increasingly released new hazards into the environment with production of synthetic, organic compounds such as plastics. Cancer discovered in 1974 in vinyl chloride workers may be only the tip of the iceberg." Dr. Rall noted that pollution in the United States began with the first industrial revolution. "During this time we were reshaping common materials and giving them a new function. As we became more affluent pollution became more of a problem. During our second industrial revolution we became involved with synthetics and new chemicals and more impurities got into our environment." Dr. Rall suggested more study on existing man-made substances and chemicals. "There is a backlog of 50,000 man-made chemicals that should be tested. We are making progress in this effort. Of 120 industrial chemicals that were tested recently only 10 percent were found to be bad for the environment. There are only a few chemicals that we can't live with. Dr. Roll "The American public and politicians are unwilling to face the facts and take risks. Once we know what the risks are we can decide what risks we are willing to take. If the risk is low the public will probably be willing to take it. We must get rid of the high risk chemicals. "Environmental medicine and toxicology must be a future concern and trust of medical schools. This program would make physicians more aware of our environmental problems," Dr. Rall said. "Fishing may eventually have to be banned in the Great Lakes and in some Canadian Lakes because of contamination from polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs]. Fishing has already been banned from New York's Hudson River because of PCB contamination. "One of our remaining problems will be to educate persons of low income who rely on fishing for a large part of their protein about the hazards of eating these fish. The people who live in the fishing areas look at the clean, white fish and can't believe they are contaminated, but they are. Once PCBs enter the body it takes years to get rid of them," Dr. Rall said. 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"Chemists developed compounds for use as insulators in motors, transformers, capacitors and the like. They are highly heat resistant fluids. Initially PCBs probably were quite safe for their intended use as insulators. But in 10 to 20 years they came into wider and wider use and spread all over. At one time they were included in the paper of the 1040 tax form. We must be concerned about the increased use of this kind of substance," Dr. Rall said. In the early 1970's high levels of PCBs were found in large flocks of chicken and turkeys and in cattle. They were destroyed. "This contamination resulted from grain that picked up the compound while stored in a silo whose walls had been covered with paint containing PCBs," Dr. Rall said. At present the Environmental Protection Agency has no legal authority to restrict the production, use or disposal of PCBs. The Department of Agriculture does prohibit its use as a pesticide and in food handling and processing. In conclusion Dr. Rall made several other observations: a law covering toxic effects is needed; in all there are about 150 PCBs; toxicology is having a difficult time keeping up with technology; man-made pollution is invisible but it is here and real; we produce millions of pounds of toxic substance a year that we know nothing about-this is incredible. o Dr. John T. Gentry is the new Erie County Health Commissioner. The former medical director for the New York City Human Resources Administration assumed his new duties May 1. He replaces Dr. William E. Mosher, who retired in July, 1975. Dr. Gentry, 54, received his M.D. degree from Washington University in St. Louis in 1948. The following year he entered public service with the New York State Health Department. He has since served with the United States Public Health Service and the Agency for International Development in New Delhi, India. He has been on the faculty of the Upstate Medical Center [Syracuse), Duke University and the University of orth Carolina. Dr. Gentry is listed in Who 's Who in America and the Who 's Who in Science. He also participated in the 1965 White House Conference on International Co-operation. o WINTER, 1976 23 County Health Chief �,~~r. ... Nora Wilcox, fourth year medical student, Dr. Musselman, and pharmacist Luana Morse discuss some prescription drugs that are in the new facility. ~ ... .. • .. to; ~~ Pharmacist Luana Morse records the medication requested by Ann McMahon, a graduate student in education. Student Health Pharmacy I I !I A student health pharmacy is the newest addition to University Health Services in Michael Hall. Sub Board I furnished the seed money for the project, according to Dr. M. Luther Musselman, director of University Health Services. He is also assistant dean and a clinical associate professor of medicine. Miss Luana Morse, a 1971 U/B Pharmacy School graduate, directs the new operation. She dispenses both prescription and non-prescription drugs only to students (not faculty or staff) when prescribed by physicians. Miss Morse, a clinical instructor in the School of Pharmacy, keeps a record on each patient. "The new pharmacy facility makes it possible for us to deliver more efficient and effective health care to U/ B students. It is professionally operated by a qualified pharmacist," Dr. Musselman said. The new facility is being used to teach both medical and pharmacy students. "Several fourth year medical students and fifth year pharmacy students rotate through the facility for some of their clinical training," Dr. Musselman said. This pharmacy also serves the U ni versi ty Health Services located on the Amherst and Ridge Lea campuses of the University. 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �"What does the Medical Alumni Association do anyway?" I'm sure you have asked yourselves that question. Certainly it has been asked of me many times. As I see it, it has four functions: 1. To provide a vehicle whereby the alumnus can find out what is going on back at the old school. 2. To provide a means whereby he can, in some measure, influence the philosophy and teaching of present medical students. 3. To provide a formal means whereby an alumnus can maintain lifelong associations with his classmates and other graduates. 4. To involve itself in postgraduate teaching. Insofar as the first is concerned, the Alumni Association sponsors Spring Clinical Days each May. At that time we hope to demonstrate by way of lectures and exhibits what the Medical School is doing. This very journal, The Buffalo Physician, keeps you abreast of current Medical School developments. The second function is probably our most cherished one. Each of us wants to help the Medical School, insofar as he is able, train those who will follow in our footsteps. The Dean attends the monthly meeting of the Executive Committee of the Medical Alumni Association, and thereby a close working relationship has been established. One member of our Executive Committee serves on the Dean's Committee on Postgraduate Education. But it is through the fund raising activities of the Alumni Association that we can influence most. Last year our Alumni gave generously to the UB Foundation Annual Fund Drive. Large class reunion gifts helped to finance the new Learning Center. Lastly, direct scholarship money is appropriated by the Executive Committee from your membership dues. The third function satisfies the soul. We went through the four year trial by fire with our classmates. We embarked together on the lifelong adventure of our profession. The Alumni Association draws us together all too infrequently - only every five yearsbut it does keep us together. Lastly, although our endeavor is modest, we try to provide some postgraduate teaching at our annual Spring Clinical Days. In addition, we sponsor postgraduate teaching at an annual Alumni tour (last year St. Maartens - this year Cancun, Mexico). So it seems we do fulfill useful functions. o WINTER, 1976 25 A Message From James F. Phillips, M'47 President Medical Alumni Association Dr. Phillips �Dr. Cropp Dr. Cropp II I Dr. Gerd J. A. Cropp heads the University's first pediatric pulmonary disease division at the Children's Hospital. Here it is hoped to evaluate children via sophisticated studies and to follow them by a team of specially-trained personnel. For experience gained by the clinician/researcher in Denver, Canada, and San Francisco points to these often neglected patients doing very well when carefully followed. The professor of pediatrics comes to Buffalo from Denver where he served on the University of Colorado's pediatric faculty as associate clinical professor and as director of the National Asthma Center's clinical physiology activities. Born in Delmenhorst, Germany, his early interest in agriculture shifted to medicine, and in 1958 he earned an M.D. degree cum laude from the University of Western Ontario. Seven years later he was awarded a Ph.D. in biophysics there. In between he completed an internship and residency at its Victoria Hospital and gained two years of research training as a Public Health Service Fellow at the University of California at San Francisco's cardiovascular research institute. While in Denver, where he has worked for the past decade, Dr. Cropp opened a cardiovascular physiology laboratory for children at the University under an NIH Career Development Award, and a pulmonary diagnostic laboratory at the National Asthma Center. Here he gained wide experience while performing diagnostic pulmonary function tests on a large population of asthmatic children. Excitement over the large pool of expertise at U I B may well have been one of the reasons why he was attracted to Buffalo. But his hope to establish one of the top computerized diagnostic testing laboratories for children has been slowed somewhat. "Although there is a current shortage of funds, we are proceeding to build our own computer, develop much of our own program, and to attract funds from various sources," he said. And the training of clinician~. research fellows, and students is also receiving much of his attention. ot only is m ul tidisci plinary training in both adult as well as pediatric respiratory disease being emphasized, but a solid basic science foundation being laid to better understand disease processes as well. "We are presently collaborating with Dr. Robert Klocke in the department of medicine at E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital as well as participating in research seminars in the department of physiology at the University," he added. His interest in research is also continuing. As holder of a number of grants, he will closely follow exercise-induced asthma and exercise tolerance of children with a variety of respiratory diseases. A Fellow of the Ontario Heart Foundation, Dr. Cropp has served as consultant to a number of professional societies, the NIH, and the Environmental Protection Agency. And he has published extensively in the fields of cardiopulmonary physiology and pediatrics. 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Emmanuel Lebenthal heads a new division of gastroenterology at the Children's Hospital. Here, those with inflammatory bowel disease are being studied and treated while professional staff are being trained to care for them. The associate professor of pediatrics comes to Buffalo from Boston where he served on the Children's Hospital medical staff as well as on the Harvard pediatrics faculty for the past four years. Born and educated in Israel, he received the MD degree from Hebrew University in 1964, completed postgraduate training over the next five years in pediatrics at Hadassah and Beilinson Medical Centers, and in 1970 joined Stanford's pediatric gastroenterology faculty. He recalls that he did not plan to leave Boston. But, during a visit to Buffalo as a lecturer, he found much support from the administration at Children's Hospital for the traditional triad of a medical school - teaching, research, service. As a regional center, the new division of gastroenterology serves a population of two million. And because problems in the GI tract differ for varying age groups, "gastroenterologists are now well-equipped to deal with premees, infants, children, adolescents, on up to adults," he said. For premees with protracted problems such as chronic intractable diarrhea, enzyme testing of the intestine now provides a new service for the region. "A lack of a specific intestinal enzyme can now be handled through hyperalimentation and elemental diets in these patients," he added. "And we are now able to care for those with absorption and malabsorption problems as well as those with liver disease." Not only are the whole range of tests for study and treatment of the GI tract being offered by Dr. Lebenthal and his support staff of five [a biochemist, two fellows, a technician, a nurse practitioner) but liver biopsies and pancreatic functions tests as well. He notes that enzyme testing services are also being offered to adults. But, along with service to patients there is much teaching going on through a training program for pediatric gastroenterologists and electives for students as well as research. His specific interest in the pancreas and small intestine has led to his taking a very close look at the enzyme enterokinase. "Although it comes from the intestine, it activates those enzymes that act on proteins from the pancreas. We must therefore understand the interrelationship," he said. Now purifying this enzyme in the laboratory, Dr. Lebenthal hopes to see what happens to it during the changing functions of pancreas and small intestine in digestive diseases. And there is also a joint investigation underway with Roswell Park investigators into the effects of chemotherapy on the GI tract as well as GI aspects of food allergy with Drs. Elliot Ellis and Pearay Ogra. Dr. Lebenthal is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatrics and a member of the North American Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, the Pediatric Research Society, and the American Gastroenterological Association. He has published widely in his field. o WINTER, 1976 27 Dr. Lebenthal �Music-Medicine Relationship I I II I THERE is a genuine interest in the history of medicine in Buffalo. So fascinated are over 75 physician-historians to its relationship to the arts, sciences, and professions that there is faithful attendance at meetings of the Medical Historical Society of Western New York. Here, they learn from noted speakers who the "contributors to the history of medicine" are. From Dr. Michael Swallow, a consultant neurologist at Belfast Royal Victoria Hospital, they recently learned about the 400-year relationship of music to medicine. The musician-composer is president of the British Music Society in Northern Ireland and chairman of the Ulster Academy of Medicine. Starting with Thomas Campion, one of the earliest "music doctors" to form the English School of Song Writers, he referred to this medical man as one of the most charming poets of the Elizabethan age and a "most delicate writer of vocal music." Moving on to Manuel Garcia the Second, he noted that this inventor of the laryngoscope had served for nearly half a century on the staff of London's Royal Academy of Music. In 1805, he explained that this musician, almost-turned physician, studied the vocal cords of his music students by use of a series of complicated mirrors. A half century later, Garcia presented a paper on the relation of vocal cords, larynx, and singing. Dr. Swallow pointed out, "he had to be over 100 years old at his death." In tracing the use of music to treatment for the sick, the speaker referred to many musical compositions which document the progress of a patient's recovery as well as a cure. "These were celebrated with music," he said. Other compositions dealt with the dying patient and death, he continued, as he alluded to Beethoven and Strauss. Both composed for royalty. One such piece by a court musician was dedicated to the Prince of Wales on his recovery from typhoid in 1872. And he was able to point to music written as early as 1686 for European kings who recovered from illness. During the late seventeenth century there was even a surgical operation described in music by Marin Marais. This very fine player of the bass violin [some believe he may have been the finest) was born in Paris in 1656. He died there at age 72. A composition pupil of Lully, he wrote successful operas and a good deal of instrumental music, explained Dr. Swallow. In 1720 the musician of the King's chamber had a lithotomy operation. The lecturer noted that among the fraternity of lithotomists was Frere Jacques who, in his travels, dressed as a Franciscan monk. Along with slides of instruments used with operation and music, Dr. Swallow's appropriate gestures enlightened the musical lecture. He next focused on a Salzburg Institute opened by Herbert von Karajan. It was here that the noted conductor studied physiological changes occuring in musicians. What he found was that during a performance, the heart beat and breathing increased while blood pressure rose. Through other experiments, von Karajan was able to refute the commonly-held concept that numerous finger movements lead to finger shortening or erosion of terminal phalanges. Explained Dr. 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Swallow, "even when there are up to 1,160 finger movements per minute, he could find no finger erosion on playing the violin." In a lighter vein, the speaker explained that when Nathan Milstein was asked whether playing a violin was fatiguing, he responded, "NO. Carrying my case in a station when there is no porter is more so." In noting therapeutic effects of music that have been known over the centuries, Dr. Swallow pointed to the Hippocratic School in Greece. It was here where Apollo reigned as God of Music, Aesculapius used the trumpet to cure sciatica. Organist Johann Gottlieb, a pupil of Bach, composed music for face pain known as the Goldberg Variations. During the middle ages in Europe, the speaker noted that Ergot poisoning was common. The cure for this "dancing mania?" It was music, not doctors, he said. In Italy, this condition was thought to be caused by spider bites. And dance-the Tarantella-was used as the cure. Moving on to 1894, Dr. Swallow pointed to bands and musicians who played in lunatic asylums. In fact, continued the physician/ musician/teacher, "nineteenth century's Sir Edward Elgar was appointed organist to a Worcester County lunatic asylum. He was an English composer-musician." He pointed to Dr. F.A. Mesmer who used animal magnetism or "mesmerism" to treat patients. So large was this German physician's following, that he was inclined to transfer his healing powers to trees. "People walked under them for a cure," Dr. Swallow explained. But an investigation into this pseudo treatment by Antoine Lavoisier, Benjamin Frankl "n, and J.J. Guillotin (a French physician who fostered his own device for beheading people) resulted in 20 years of exile for Dr. Mesmer. In concluding his talk, Dr. Swallow pointed to three composers who died of neurological disease- Frederick Delius, Maurice Ravel, and George Gershwin. And there was agreement that the sensitive rendition of a Gershwin composition by Dr. Swallow was superb. o WINTER, 1976 �Physical Fitness III. "We can't stop the aging process but we can slow it down by keeping fit." This was the consensus of a U /B faculty panel who discussed "Physical Fitness and the Elderly." Speakers were: Dean John Naughton of the Medical School, Dr. Harry Fritz, former Dean of the Health Education School and Dr. John Piscopo, professor of physical education. Dr. Harold Brody, professor and chairman of the department of anatomical sciences, moderated the panel. In his illustrated presentation Dean Naughton suggested several tools that the elderly can use for reconditioning- the treadmill, bicycle, arm wheel, hand crank, steps, rowing machine and mobile balls that make participants bend and stretch. These devices strengthen both the upper and lower body muscles, he said. "Before embarking on any type of a physical fitness program people 35 years of age and older should have a complete physical examination," Dean Naughton said. He believes Americans can be reconditioned through public education, although "we resort to sedentary living habits and get out of shape early in life. Increased work capacity will decrease blood pressure and heart rate. This will make people better able to handle day to day stress and it may even increase their longevity. Heart rate is the key to efficiency of your cardiovascular system. The lower the heart rate for a given task, the more efficient the cardiovascular system." To maintain good health elderly people must have a good diet, regular rest, good behavior, control their ambitions and remain physically fit, Dean Naughton concluded. 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Piscopo said from a safety standpoint "elderly people should keep their muscles toned and fit - especially their chest, stomach and hip muscles. This will improve p,osture and mobility. To remain fit people must swim, jog, bicycle, walk. People can do any one of these or a combination. "Too many people (all ages) believe and practice passive recreation such as watching TV," Dr. Piscopo said. He quoted Dr. Dudley White who believes that physical fitness is based on heredity, diet and activity level. Heredity is not reversible, but each of us can do something about our diet and our activities. Dr. Piscopo noted that exercise exerts a positive effect on people. A person's capacity to learn is enhanced by being physically fit. Dr. Fritz said there is evidence that the college students are participating more in organized intramural sports. Many more are involved today than 10 years ago. "We try to teach students to concentrate on the type of activity that they can continue as they get older- golf, swimming, hiking, jogging, tennis and handball. "People of all ages must 'get off their seats and on their feet'. Motivating people is one of the most difficult problems that we have but we are making progress." In some cases income is a moti~ating factor - especially among executives and pilots, who must remain physically fit. As a member of the President's Committee on Aging, Dr. Fritz indicated that someday there might be a national physical fitness program for the elderly. "Today the elderly are a minority, but in a few short years they may become the majority. I am glad there is an inter-disciplinary effort at U /B to help the elderly remain physically fit." He pointed out the great disparity of fitness among all Americans, especially our senior citizens. "Some are fitness fanatics while others couldn't care less," Dr. Fritz said. Physical fitness centers and stress tests have become more popular in the last decade. Someday stress tests may be a part of the physical examination required before purchasing life insurance, Dr. Fritz concluded. 0 Interim Hospital Director Dr. GuyS. Alfano is the new interim director of the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. He succeeds Marshall G. Ause, who was dismissed in early October. Dr. Alfano is a surgeon at the hospital and president of the medical staff. He is a past president of the Erie County Medical Society, a 1950 graduate of the medical school and a clinical professor of surgery at the University. o WINTER, 1976 31 In April Dr. Fritz left UIB position in Kansas City where he is Executive Secretary of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). He joined the UIB faculty in 1970 as Dean of the School of Heath Education and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. for a new �The 1980 Class Dean Naughton ~I I It was a new and different wo rld for the 13f medical students who arrived on campus two and one-half days early for orientation. There were many "welcomes"-one by Dr. F. Carter Pannill, vice president for the Faculty of Health Sciences, who said "we are all here to help you and we will do our best to serve you the next four years." This theme was echoed by other administrator-educators and students who spoke briefly at the opening session. "The quality of instruction at this medical school will more than compensate for some of the physical problems that you may encounter," Dr. Pannill said. "I know the next four years will be most stimulating for you. The public is demanding changes in medicine and health care. This medical school will meet the challenges and make the changes." Dr. Pannill urged the new students to keep informed on the coming changes. He noted that U /B had the largest health sciences center in the SUNY system. 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN ��Dean John aughton told the students they could expect some educational changes on campus and in our affiliated hospitals. "We need your involvement, counsel and advice so we can make wise decisions." In welcoming his second class Dean Naughton said, "you are a strong, intelligent group. This is a very exciting time for you . You have a big task, and much is expected of you. I know you will accomplish much before you graduate in 1980." The chairman of the admissions committee told the new students something about themselves. Dr. D. Mac . Surgenor said, "your average age is 22 and you come from 66 different undergraduate colleges and universities; 42 of you are women and 93 are men; 23 are minority students. There are 127 residents of ew York State (64 from Western New York]. There are only eight outof-state residents." Dr. Surgenor pointed out that the mean MCAT science score for this class is almost exactly the same as the mean MCAT science score for all accepted students in all United States medical schools this year. Most of the students are science majors, with biology dominant, but a few majored in literature, history, economics, political science, psychology, sociology and anthropology. The Medical School received 4,499 applications (3,310 male, 1,189 female] and conducted 501 personal interviews. They accepted 273 students to fill the 135 places . "For the first time this fall four students (two sophomores and two juniors) will be voting members of the admissions committee," Dr. Surgenor said. "This will give the committee more contact with the students, something we have lacked in the past." Dr. Leonard Katz, associate dean for student and curricular affairs, said, "a lot of people have been working very hard to present the best possible program for you. There will be many changes, but better things are ahead for all of you." Mr. Rudolph Williams, assistant dean and financial aid officer, discussed scholarship and loan support with the new students. An estimated budget for a single commuter student is $4940 for nine months and $7775 for a married student who is a resident. He also outlined briefly the recently signed legislation by Governor Carey 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �that institutes a New York State guaranteed loan program for medical and dental students. "You are the elite and you will make it." Dr: Martin E. Plaut told the new students that they have been through the mill when they applied to medical school. "This is the ultimate test, because statistics show your chances of succeeding are excellent," the associate professor of medicine said. "In medicine you and the patient have the same thing in mind. You both want to know what is going on and how to turn it around. Two years from now you will be taking a clinical clerkship. You will be going into patients' rooms with a stethoscope in your pocket. "You are at the height of your intellectual careers. You have many gifts. Keep intact what you possess and learn new things as you go along," Dr. Plaut concluded. Dr. M. Luther Musselman told the students the benefits of the new University health insurance plan. The assistant dean and director of health services also outlined briefly the special clinics and other services available at the University Health Services. There was a 5 p.m. picnic at the end of the first half day. And for the first time the new students had two special luncheons, one with their advisors and another with their preceptors. There were pictures to take, tours and discussion groups led by sophomores. A Physician Speaks by Edward A. Rayhill, M.D. You sit today in a place of honor and of trust-flushed with the success of passing through the seemingly impossible barrier to any medical career-a rigorously competitive, somewhat egocentric pre-medical education. You are assuredly the cream of the cream; we skimmed you right off the top of the Guernsey bottle. It may be quite consoling to the majority of you that you will in four short years gain the degree of Doctor of Medicine from this institution. Some few of you will not, some by choice and some few by default. It is our task as your teachers and preceptors to insure that no one defaults. You will soon be receiving work assignments both expressed and implied, which you will regard as impossible to complete. You will hear yourself grumbling rather frequently, "No way man, No way!" If you have come this far expecting fame, fortune and a fortyhour work week-you're at the wrong luncheon. If you don't like people; if you are not fascinated by their unique humanness; if you can't cry with their losses and smile at their successes; admire their strengths and understand their frailties; marvel at their genius and patiently bear their stupidity; imitate their great energy but not adopt their slothfulness; display the same impassivity to their perfumed coiffures as to their malodorous bodily excreta; be at ease equally with their gentleness as well as their crudity; display the same compassion to the rich, the poor, the black, the white, the devout, the blasphemous; if you have a low tolerance for frustration and are used to the precision of the physical sciences and are irritated with the imprecise; then I would urge you to run for some other way of life through the nearest exit. WINTER, 1976 35 This is excerpts of the address given at the preceptors' luncheon by Dr. Edward A. Rayhill, clinical assistant professor of family medicine. He is a 1954 graduate of the Medical School. �Dr . Ro be r t M. Barone (ce nt er) c hat s with s tud e n ts. Dr. Leonard Katz (ri g ht) with s tud e nt s. Meryl Mc Neal I I II • We, your preceptors, are as nervous as you are. It is not easy for us in "middle age" to face the reality forced upon us by our colleagues in neuroanatomy that millions of our brain cells have already ceased to function and many others have developed dessicated dendrites and agonal axons and to face a class of incessantly questioning young, highly intelligent minds with many more functioning neurons and sharp synapses. It is embarrassing to be asked questions for which you have no answers. But ask them you must. And challenge us you shall, whenever your doubt troubles you. For it is only by such questioning that you will help us sort fact from fiction, which is euphemistic for our own inbred presumption of truth, but not the truth itself. Recognizing the truth sounds deceptively simple but the requisite serendipity is granted to only a precious few. We will insist that you cultivate an evercritical judgment based upon precise observation. It is very important for us to pass on what we know but I feel equally obliged to inform you of what we do NOT know. We are as human as our patients. We possess the same previously enumerated qualities as individuals and in the aggregate. Some of us you will come to love. Others you may grow to hate. I hope none of us will leave you indifferent. Each of us will attempt to teach you what we know and hopefully what we don't know in differing ways. I pray that we will all challenge you to come to know more than we know so that you may eventually become better physicians than we have been. Medicine is not a profession that admits of many mistakes. We have erred and our errors have been painfulwe would hope to minimize your inevitable errors . Any teacher would sincerely desire his students to surpass himself; this is our desire for each of you .. . We will intimidate and harass you, embarrass and degrade you, and give you what seems to be an unending procession of examinations. But this is what your patients will do every day of your professional lives. We are determined to humble you as we have been humbled. We are interested in making you scholars and physicians, not just technologists. A technologist is concerned with what he 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �knows; a physician and scholar is more concerned with what he does not know and desires to remedy the defiqit. We could at this point in your student life ostentatiously display our own seemingly dazzling array of medical knowledge in a futile attempt to overwhelm you. But this would be as presumptuous as Galen's fanaticism in the middle ages. Your generation will accomplish things we have not dared to dream. Our purpose, collectively, is simple: to save lives , to help preserve health and well-being and to relieve pain. We may seldom cure but we should always comfort. We are bequeathing you a number of paradoxes: new pharmaceuticals which are more potent for cure but also more dangerous to use; our prolongation of life has also often prolonged suffering and uselessness; our large hospitals have grown more complex and impersonal while our patients roam the corridors seeking someone understanding to talk to. We are rapidly pricing ourselves "out of the market." The increasing costs of health care are bringing bureaucratic intrusions and simplistic political 'cures' that many of us feel will undermine and destroy the continued privacy of the patient-physician relationship which we feel should be kept sacrosanct. We have had enough difficulties defining health, well-being and life-now we are faced with definitions of death which are even more perplexing. Social demands have placed unprecedented burdens upon our Hippocratic consciences . . . George Bernard Shaw may have been warning us when he said, "Science is always wrong. It solves problems, only to replace them with others." It would seem that our solutions to some of our problems have created new problems which we will pass on to you thereby increasing the complexity of your own creative endeavors. And so we challenge each of you now as tyros to become not just good but great physicians and when you have achieved that greatness, as some of you assuredly may, to bear it with the humility that your human errors have so painfully taught. I do sincerely wish you the same satisfactions that I have come to know as a physician. Good luck and my best wishes for your future happiness in your chosen profession. o Dr. Ponnill �(Clockwise from upper right) Preceptorship luncheon with students-Drs. Ben Fisher, Emerson Reid, Marcos Gallego, Milford Maloney. Clinical Preceptorship Program There is a new four-year clinical preceptorship program at the Medical School. The first year class that will graduate in 1980 will have the advantage of personal guidance during the next four years. Each student is assigned to a preceptor. No faculty member will have more than eight students at any one time. Coordinating the new program is Dr. Robert J. Patterson, clinical associate professor of gynecology-obstetrics. He heads the steering committee of nine faculty members. "The 44 preceptors are physicians from all segments of the medical faculty-full-time, part-time and volunteers. The first meeting between student and preceptor was during orientation in August. At this initial meeting the preceptor introduced the students to clinical medicine," Dr. Patterson said. The preceptors met with their students at least two times during September and monthly during the academic year. These twohour student-preceptor meetings are in a clinical environment. "An effort will be made to expose the student to real problems in health care with emphasis on moral or ethical considerations, inadequacies or strengths of the health delivery system, dilemmas in medical care, psychological and sociological perspectives of medical problems and economic issues. The meetings during the first year will be the most critical," Dr. Patterson said. The six goals of the program are: -to provide students a mechanism to enter into a clinical setting from the very onset of medical school; 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �-to underscore the relevance of basic science learning to clinical medicine; -to promote a close, personal relationship between each student and a faculty member; -to provide role models for students who will be able to discuss the students' career plans; -to provide access to faculty members for discussion of medical school problems in a non-threatening relationship; -to stimulate the students to consider some of the broad questions of health care including ethical, human, financial and general issues with a sense of reality provided by actual clinical situations. Questionnaires were sent to incoming students to learn something of their interests, talents and career goals. The students were matched with preceptors. When clinical experiences increase for the students during the second, third and fourth years there will be fewer meetings with the preceptors. Career planning will be emphasized by the preceptors during the third and fourth year meetings with the students. "The program will be flexible so that students or preceptors may request a change in preceptorship group. The success of the program is dependent upon close relationships between students and faculty. This may vary depending upon individuals," Dr. Patterson said. The 44 physician preceptors and their departments are: Anesthesiology-Robert Harvey, T. Sievenpiper; DermatologyJohn Maize, James Rasmussen; Family Medicine-James Dunn, Ian Frankfort, Harry Metcalf, James Nunn, Winford Quick, Edward Rayhill; Medicine-Norman Chassin, John Conboy, Ben Fisher, Milford Maloney, Philip Morey, Luther Musselman, Carol Segal; Dr. William Webster d(Clockwise from right) Preceptorship luncheon with students-Drs.

Thacore, Judith VanLiew, N. Vijayashankar, Richard Zobel. o 40 THE BUFFALO PHYSIC! A �In a move they said is designed "to provide the utmost in care for both mothers and their babies," The Buffalo General Hospital and The Children's Hospital of Buffalo announced ail agreement to consolidate their obstetric and gynecology services, with most of the obstetrics to be provided at Children's and most of the gynecology at Buffalo General. Under the plan, Buffalo General's 26-bed maternity unit closed and those beds were used to expand the hospital's gynecology programs. Conversion of the obstetric beds at Buffalo General to gynecology and development of a joint service in G YN-OB between the two hospitals is consistent with recommendations made a year ago by the Erie County Obstetric Advisory Committee of the CHPC, which also made several other recommendations to reduce the surplus number of obstetric beds in the county. However, as the first hospitals to respond affirmatively to the committee's recommendations, Buffalo General and Children's went beyond those recommendations by including provisions for back-up or "tertiary" care. Plans for the consolidated obstetric-gynecology service were drawn up by physicians of the GYN-OB departments at the two hospitals, headed by Dr. David H. Nichols, M'47, at Buffalo General and Dr. Robert J. Patterson, M'SO, at Children's. Under the plan, once the maternity unit at Buffalo General closed, Buffalo General would encourage its obstetricians to transfer their deliveries to Children's, and Children's would encourage its gynecologists to schedule their gynecology cases at Buffalo General. Children's would schedule GYN cases only to fill unoccupied OB beds. "When medical judgment indicates that the mother should be delivered at Buffalo General because of certain equipment or expertise based solely at that facility," Dr. Kinnard said, "a team of infant care specialists will be mobilized from Children's to care for the infant as soon as it is born, and to transfer it to Children's as soon as that is feasible." "In addition, adult cardiologists, internists and other specialists on the staff at Buffalo General will be on call to the Children's to provide high-risk maternity care to complement Children's high-risk infant program," the two administrators said. In order to accommodate this consolidation of services they said the hospitals intend to establish an "open staff" policy whereby all qualified physicians holding privileges at either institution would be extended the same privileges at the other hospital. Outpatient services in both obstetrics and gynecology would continue at both hospitals. The teaching programs of the Medical School in obstetrics and gynecology would follow the location of the major services, with OB teaching largely at the Children's and GY training concentrated at Buffalo General. The departments of medicine and surgery at the University will be asked to participate in this coordination of services and staff at the two hospitals. The entire program must ultimately be submitted to the State Health Department for final approval. o WINTER, 1976 41 GYN-OB Services Consolidated �MECO Program An early introduction into clinical medicine has been possible for 15 freshmen and sophomore medical students this summer, thanks to a program sponsored by a national medical student group and funding support from local medical organizations. Last spring, explained Thomas Achtyl, the American Medical Student Association charged its local chapters to work for early exposure of medical students to primary care, especially in rural areas where there is a major shortage. The sophomore medical student is local program director for the MECO program (Medical Education Community Orientation). A Buffalo committee was formed. Headed by Tom, as he prefers to be called, it included Paul Paroski (Regional AMSA trustee), Peter Shields, Paul Koenig, Barbara Klein, Elise Riley, Ian Slepian, and Robert Brandis. Among local physician groups and foundations approached for funding support was the APFME. In releasing funds put aside for student fellowships, the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education, founded in 1954 to support innovative educational opportunities at U / B, expressed the hope that a wide range of student interests, including primary care, would be considered. "We readily agreed," noted Tom. And the list of 13 summer fellowships funded by APFME range from pediatrics to surgery. The Erie County Medical Association also pledged funds for a summer fellowship as did the Erie County Academy of Family Physicians at the urging of Dr. James Nunn. With the majority of requests for preceptorships in primary care, the committee turned to Dr. Raymond Bissonette. As liaison for the group, he approached Dr. Nunn who used his influence in lining up primary care physicians as preceptorships.

He is associate dean for student and curricular affairs. Not only are 19 incoming medical/dental students getting a head start on their education by completing histology /embryology over the summer-it is the second year it has been offered- but there are programs in pharmacology /therapeutics under Dr. Robert J. Mcisaac as well as microbiology under Dr. Arlene Collins for those who wish to graduate in three rather than four years or for remedial or other special circumstances. And a new biochemistry program, one that emphasizes individualized self study, is available for those who have had difficulties in the past. Self study materials for this program have been developed by Drs . Alexander Brownie, Murray Ettinger, and Miriam Meissler of the department of biochemistry. But there is greater flexibility over the clinical years as well. Through an earlier third year start in gyn /ob, 16 students have completed one of seven required rotations over the summer. This educational opportunity is the result of efforts by Drs. Vincent Capraro and Marcos Gallego. And the department of psychiatry also has hosted accelerating students for a clerkship this past summer under the direction of Dr. S.K. Park. A good number of students are also gaining from a skills development course. Taught on an individual basis this summer by Meryl McNeal, it is based on the Hanau Learning Method successfully used at a good number of other medical schools. Explained assistant dean Rudy Williams, "this course is designed to improve the study habits of medical students." It is funded by a new three-year HEW grant. And while there is an individually planned fourth year , one month is earmarked for an experience in direct patient care. o WINTER, 1976 45 Dr. Browni e/ bioc hemistry �Residents , Interns Honored Certificates were awarded to 151 residents and interns who completed all or part of their specialty training at the University participating hospitals- Buffalo General, Deaconess, Children's, E.J.

Swiantek o WINTER, 1976 47 �Notes from an Anatomy Watcher by Oliver P. Jones, Ph.D., M.D. Distinguished Professor Dr. Jones For many years my lectures in gross human anatomy were pretty straightforward. Wherever possible, I correlated them with histology, embryology, physiology, pathology, and other clinical subjects, especially roentgenology. But after serving as assistant dean for nine years and as chairman of the Admissions Committee for 12, it became more apparent that many students enter medical schools with personal problems and misunderstandings. I therefore added nonanatomical subjects to my lectures for 10 minute intervals. For a long time I have maintained that the most important molding influence on students is that of the teacher. Not only because of his scholarship, knowledge, dedication and approach to the subject but because of his philosophy of life, intellectual processes, and ability to serve as a model. There are some who will never be good teachers no matter what courses they take. For good teachers are those who have or can develop a certain sensitivity to get the "feel of the class" so to speak. But they cannot be expected to "make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." The anatomist, more than other basic science teachers, must not only be well-informed in his field but serve as a father confessor, advisor, counselor and at times diagnostician and practitioner. For half of his time is spent making "men out of boys and women out of girls." There is nothing to compare to a group of medical students dissecting a cadaver. It is then that intimate likes, dislikes, problems [those real or imagined), the meaning of life and death are fully explored. The experience of dealing with a cadaver is a difficult one. It is especially so for those thoughtful, sensitive individuals. For everything about us tends to have us avoid death, both as a cuncept and an actuality. The student may ask what it means to be dead? So cl,irect a confrontation with death is it that he may review his whole reason for existence. Why am I here on earth? What do I hope to accomplish, if anything, in a time-limited lifetime? On the first day, after reading from George Corner's History of Anatomy I talk about death, how it is diagnosed, that all organs and tissues do not simultaneously die. I then point out that the supply of bodies in medical schools in this country is a serious problem in certain areas. And that more and more medical schools depend on those who are willing to serve science and humanity by donating their bodies. And I conclude with the necessity for proper respect for the dead. Always of interest is why an individual pursues a career in medicine. In asking whether they remember why they entered the medical profession, I suggest they spend a few minutes retracing their steps. Was it a chance meeting? I ask. A word overhead, something seen, a story read? Yes, even a dream may have been the impetus. But you may not remember. From Dr. S . Mouchly Small, professor and chairman of psychiatry, comes some insight into the motives behind specific vocational choices which vary with the individual. "What actuates one person to follow a certain occupation does not necessarily apply to another choosing the same type of work. Often, quite different jobs may serve to sublimate the same instinctual drives. It is only 48 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �by analyzing the particular case and obtaining evidence for various choices that we may speak of unconsciously-determined motivation." When I find the class not to be making good dissections, I lecture on how to be a failure. To become a truly outstanding one, make sure that you do not fall in love with your work, I point out. For the real enemy of failure is the thrill of achievement. I warn them to avoid the feeling of wanting to tell someone that you had a really good time making independent observations and discoveries. The proper attitude for a professional is best exemplified in the following anecdote: "Once Michelangelo, painting frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, was lying on his back on a high scaffold, carefully outlining a figure on a corner of the ceiling. A friend asked him why he took such pains with a figure that would be many feet away from the viewer. "After all," said the friend, "who will know whether it is perfect or not?" "I will," was the artist's response. Just before examinations, many Anatomy students complain about nervous tension and anxiety. Brenner says, "This anxiety is by no means pathological in itself. On the contrary, it is a necessary part of mental health and growth. Without it, any sort of education, in the broadest sense of the word, should be impossible." I have always maintained there is a proper place for healthy degrees of tension, anxiety, even frustration. Students would otherwise not work hard enough to bring out the best, to get to the bottom of difficult, challenging situations. Optimum mental efficiency is not demonstrated nor developed in the absence of emotional tension. We may ask how much there should be and the best ways to produce it. Obviously it should not be to the point where some students would transfer to another medical school rather than face certain clinicians in their third or fourth years. On the contrary, one of the best ways to produce the required amount of tension in a student is for a teacher to be well prepared, to know his subject thoroughly and insist on orderly, accurate clear and concise observations; one who expects a student to develop and refine his powers of observations in all sensory modalities. In other words, we need good, experie'1ced teachers, a far cry from those educated by educators. Students soon learn to appreciate and respect scholarship in their teachers. They increase their own tension as a result of unconscious identification with teacher as model. A certain degree of tension helps the student organize and integrate his material, even enhances his motivation. This should be the goal of all examinations, as well as the right amount of responsibility at the right time to elicit enough anxiety or frustration to uncover hidden talents in the student. The wrong kind is engendered by prima donnas, those ill-prepared, inexperienced teachers who are trying to mask their own deficiencies. In conclusion, medical students should have acquired three things while studying anatomy. Communication, which is as important in medicine as it is in general education and is the founda tion of free enterprise. Anatomy furnishes the vocabulary of medicine. d- WINTER, 1976 49 �Dr. Donald Mainland said, "Knowledge of names is not knowledge of things, but names are means of communications, and the necessary ones must be learned accurately. Learn how to pronounce, spell, and write them. Unorthodox pronunciation makes one's hearers suspect ignorance of the subject." This goal can only be achieved by continuous reading, study, and use of the library. Even so, some students may never learn about the triangle of Jones or the ophthalmo-rectal nerve. Another function of the anatomist is to help students learn how to educate themselves. It may seem unwise to admit to students they will forget much of what they have learned. But if they learn how to educate themselves, they must recognize this tendency to forget and the need to learn how to learn. Things that appear unimportant today may be important tomorrow. Once a student has studied the fabric of the human body, there is sufficient know-how to refresh his memory on details from source material, a task not possible for one who has never dissected a cadaver. There is a need to develop and refine the powers of observation. Since 1951 we have striven to accent this by requiring students to submit a written report about an anomaly, malformation or pathologic conditions found in a cadaver. These reports, prepared for partial laboratory credit, include an accurate description, review of the literature, and statement on embryological or pathological condition likely to have contributed to its production. Because visual memory is the chief means by which practitioners accumulate clinical experience, it is worth training. o Drs. Nolan, Apicella Honored Two Medical School faculty members and one intern were honored by the 1976 graduating house staff of the Department of Medicine at the annual E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital dinner dance in June. Both Drs. James alan and Michael Apicella were cited for being "outstanding attending physicians." Dr. Ralph Hallac, M'73, chief resident, presented the plaques. Dr. Nolan is professor of medicine and heads the department of medicine at the Buffalo General Hospital. Dr. Apicella is associate professor of medicine and a member of the infectious disease department at the Meyer. Dr. Henry Polin won the orman Chasin award as the best medical intern of the year. The presentation to Dr. Polin was made by Dr. Thomas Bumbulo, M'31, clinical professor of pediatrics and medical director at the Meyer Hospital. o 50 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Viruses /Interactions Viruses and their interactions with cells have plainly fascinated Dr. Thomas Flanagan. But, for the professor of microbiology who heads the virology laboratory in Buffalo, it is a different kind of virus infection, the persistent one, which absorbs most of his interest. Once viruses are placed into a cell culture, they force the cells to make or produce other viruses. In the case of persistent infection, however, the process continues over long periods of time. With a $13,538 National Multiple Sclerosis Society grant- it brings Society support of his research since 1975 to $32,665 - he and Dr. Arlene Collins, assistant professor of microbiology, will be taking a very close look at demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis. This often crippling disease is usually first diagnosed in young adults age 20 to 40. And episodes of this motor or sensory dysfunction increase in frequency, duration or severity as the lesion spreads throughout the central nervous system. While its cause remains unknown, Dr. Flanagan points to a viral or infectious one as most commonly implicated today with perhaps an added immune complication. In trying to develop an experimental model to study chronic degenerative neurologic disease which may be due to persistent virus infections, Dr. Flanagan will be using the NIH nude mouse. Because its biology is well defined, he hopes to be able to study chronic infections and to learn how it makes antibody, its cellmediated response, and the state of its virus infection during the animal's short life span. For, points out Dr. Flanagan, "if we can determine the cause of the disease, we may be able to find a way to arrest the process or prevent it in the first place." The virology laboratory headed by Dr. Flanagan is a busy one. Under contract with the Erie County Laboratory, it supplies diagnostic services to area hospitals and physicians. During 1975, it performed over 11,000 tests, a 65 % jump over the previous year. These tests ranged from isolation and ,identification of diseases in the community such as influenza and rubella to more difficult and sophisticated services to renal dialysis units - monitoring of patients for serologic changes and the shedding of cytomegalovirus. It is a particular problem for those who are immunosuppressed, Dr. Flanagan said. o WINTER, 1976 51 Drs. Flanagan and Collins look at hemagglutination test to detect virus particles. �The experimental diver, Or. Ed ward Thalma nn, US .

Research as sistan t Dean Markey (right) be tw een th e fi rs t a nd second barrier is adju s ting the di ver's breathin g tu bes. Deep Sea Diving Experiments Oil exploration may benefit from deep sea diving experiments in the pressure chamber in the physiology department at the Medical School. This chamber probably has the highest pressure capacity (equivalent to 5600 feet of depth) in the world. "We are studying the physiological and medical problems related to diving. Hopefully our experiments will make deep sea diving safer for commercial divers, who play an important role in the discovery of oil fields and in drilling operations," Dr. Claes E. Lundgren said. He is a Swedish physician-researcher on leave from the University of Lund, Sweden conducting experiments in U/B's Hyperbaric Chamber. "The lung function in diving at great depths is sometimes insufficient and endangers the diver. We hope to find out why and decrease the risks of deep sea diving. We also want to learn more about decompression sickness and how it affects divers. Today decompression is more of an art than a science. It is a hazard and a risk that is always present. Because of intense cold at great depths, malfunction of breathing gear or an accident - divers very often must surface in a hurry- and this involves a greater risk. The gas bubbles of decompression sickness constitute a major hazard when leaving the hperbaric environments," Dr. Lundgren said. The hazards involved in deep sea diving can be best illustrated by the fact that the mean survival time for divers working from North Sea oil rigs was given recently as about 30 bottom hours. 52 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Close attention is paid to the rate of descent of the divers as recorded on the pressure gauges by Dr. Lundgren, Dr. Mary Anne Rokitka, research associate and research assistant professor of physiology, and chamber operator Bruce Laraway. The composition of the exhaled gas from the diver is monitored on the medical gas analyzers by research assistant WiJliam Lawrence. WINTER, 1976 53 �An overview of the pressure chamber of the hyperbaric facility of the Laboratory of Environmental Physiology at the Medical School. Drawing repnnted courtesy of Popular Science e 1970 by Popular Science Publishing Company, Incorporoted. Dr. Lundgren is professor of hyperbaric physiology and head of the laboratory of aviation and naval physiology at the University of Lund, Sweden. He received his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Lund. He is a Commander in the Royal Swedish Navy and at the present time he is in the medical corps reserve. The Swedish scientist pointed out that commercial diving is very expensive because of the sophisticated hardware and the large crew required to decompress divers when they are brought back to the surface. A few hours of work on the bottom may require days or even weeks coming back to the surface. "The chamber facility not only allows us to subject a person to the great pressures in the ocean but he can also be submerged so that realistic experiments can be made to study the interaction of immersion and gas density while divers perform physical exercises under water," Dr. Lundgren said. Two steel vessels, welded together, make up the 50-ton chamber. A passageway connects a seven-foot spherical antechamber to a 14-foot-long diving vessel. Both compartments have an inside diameter of seven feet and a working pressure of 170 atmospheres. An innovation of the diving vessel is the special design of the wet compartment by Mr. Richard Morin, assistant to the director, and Dr. Edward Lanphier, research associate professor. It stands as a model for chambers that are now being built in other parts of the world. Water is retained in the wet half of the cylinder by semicircular barriers of plexiglas. A diver climbs over one barrier and ducks under the other to enter the wet side. The combination chamber is less costly and more convenient. It also simplifies breathing measurements made on divers. 54 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �By using the sphere as a sea-lab habitat or decompression chamber, the dry compartment of the cylinder as a ve stibule, and the wet compartment as the ocean, it is possible to simu late both saturation dives and "excursion dives" (brief descents to greater depth than a diver's saturation level). The wet compartme nt realistically provides submergence, high press ure, low temperature, and darkness. Both vessels are studied through observation windows. Conical six-inch-thick "panes" of plexiglas bear the pressure forcing them against reinforced seats. TV cameras can see what happens in the diving vessel. o Neurology Residency Program A new neurology residency program at the Dent Neurologic Institute of the Millard Fillmore Hospital has been approved by the American Board of Neurology and Psychiatry and the American Medical Association, according to Dr. William R. Kinkel, Director of the Institute. Dr. Kinkel is a 1954 graduate of the Medical School and a clinical associate professor of neurology and anatomical sciences. The first year resident will receive experience in internal medicine. The next three years will include extensive clinical experience in adult and pediatric neurology as well as training in electroencephalography, electromyography, neuroophthalmology, and neuropharmacokinetics. The Dent Neurologic Institute is one of the few centers in the United States where computerized axial transverse tomography is interpreted and clinically correlated by the department of neurology and is the only center where two units are operating side by side, which greatly facilitates clinical research. Other board certified neurologists are associated with the program. They are Dr. Edwin J. Manning, 1961 Medical School graduate, who is a clinical assistant professor of neurology and anatomical sciences; Dr. Lawrence Jacobs, a clinical assistant professor of neurology; Dr. Stephen Barron, a 1968 Medical School graduate, and Dr. Michael Cohen, a pediatric neurologist. Dr. Robert Zwericki, with a special interest in genetic disorders of the central nervous system, will also play an active role in the residency training program. o WINTER, 1976 55 Dr. Kinkel is chairman of a national committee to develop training programs in interpretation of CA TT records. �Medical School Deans Oct. 3, 1846 1 -1 849 FRANK HASTINGS HAMILTON, M.D .

We have been informed that the time-honored MCAT. (Medical College Admission Test) will be replaced in 1977 b} a revolutionary new admission test· devised after three years of development by the Association of American Medical Colleges and designed to emphasize skills and problem solving instead of simple factual knowledge. It has been said that MCAT scores are fairly reliable predictors of future performance in the basic science courses but that they display poor correlation with clinical performance. Nonetheless. MCAT scores and pre-medical basic science grades continue to be given considerable weight over general point averages in the selection of the Freshman Medical Class and accordingly such scores have been plugged into a critical equation which has been formulated as a prognostic index in this regard. Hopefully. the new system will require less cramming of factual data to rote memory in pre-medical courses and more regard will be given to the appreciation of concepts. skills, attitude and problem solving powers. It is surprising to note that the American Medical Student Association is a prime opponent of this new, "noncogmtive'' testing, expressing fear that "personal qualities" over which they have no control and whose predictive value may be very low. will take precedence over true merit judged on factual data. Yet, as an Alumnus. who in his senior year was inveigled into writing the Class History, I find that upon review and reference to this satirical treatise I continue to feel somewhat frustrated because no one has since searched my memory bank for information on the substantia gelatinosa of Rolando, on late telophase in the onion root or on the variation in the chronaxie of the frog gastrocnemius. I would wager a bet that few of my classmates could recall that the versatile alpha d-glucose could rotate, mutarotate and ultimately become an enantiomorph. Not only that, but I could spell cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene backward just in case I was asked. I knew the most minute and infinitesimal detail concerning all forms of microscopic life including dimensions, habitat. menu and personality characteristics. Disillusioned, 1 continue to search for Winterbottom's nodes and a red hot diagnosis of Afr ican trypanosomiasis. Many precious hours were spent in mastery of these mnemonic gyrations when a clear appreciation of the concept would have sufficed. 1 can appreciate and empathize with the modern student's zeal for the protection of factual data as the criteria par excellence for selection to a medical career. However. it does not take a long look through the retrospectroscope to realize that attitudes along with demonstrated ability in problem solving and the mastery of concepts and skills are the preferred direction for the future. The necessity for a firm grasp on knowledge of the basic sciences is not disputed but perhaps it is indeed time to say scat to MCAT as the deity to be universally worshiped and implored for admission to Medical School. o M.C.

Please notify us of change of address. Copyright 1976 by The Buffalo Physician. SUMMER, 1976 1 �Or From the desk of John P . Naughton , M .D. Dean. School of Medicine Doon Naughton all the concerns that beset the Dean's office, one with an extremely high priority relates to the admission of each year's medical student class. The process is one \vith which every faculty member should be acquainted. In Doug Surgenor's and my review of the admissions procedure at SUNY /Buffalo. J am of the opinion that we do not differ significantly in our approach. from mo.st of t?e maj~r ':'edical schools of the nation. The functions assoetated w1th adnusswns are as follows: 1. Admissions Policy Committee- This Committee is selected by the Faculty Council. Through its deliberations, it recommends policies to the Faculty Council. Those policies which are accepted are implemented by the Dean's office. 2. Director of Admissions - this individual, Dr. Douglas M. Su rgenor, administers and supervises the staff which sorts through the admissions and prepares the charts and staff work for the Admissions Committee; and he chairs the Admissions Committee. 3. Admissions Committee- the Admissions Committee is appointed by the Dean in consultation with the Faculty Council through tts President and with the Director of Admissions. Membership on the Committee is for a three year term. The Committee is responsible for determining all admissions and rejections. In the admissions process, SUNY Buffalo participates with about 80 other medical schools in the centralized application service (AMCAS) which is administered by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). During the past several years, 1975-76 included, we received approximately 5,000 applications to fill the 135 places in our First-Year Class. The admissions Committee interviews be tween 500 and 600 applicants each year. In 1974-75, the School offered 250 acceptances to recruit its class. The com position of that First-Year Class reveals that 125 are residents of New York State; 23 represent minority groups; 29 are women: 59 are from Western New York. Here are some comments on questions which are commonly raised: 1. The admissions process is deliberately kept impersonal in an attempt to assure as unbiased as possible a review of every application. I have heard that alumni and faculty members are sometimes offended because communications between the Admissions Committee and applicants are usually by form letter. Given the large number of applications that must be handled, it is not possible for the Admissions Office to do otherwise. Rest assured that use of form letters is not meant to denigrate the applicant in any way. 2. The Adm1ssions office staff has one function, the screening and processing of applications for admission to the School of Medicine. It is not a counseling service, and as such, participates neither in pre-medical counseling nor in counseling the rejected applicants. Such services should be sought through other agencies such as undergraduate pre-medical advisory offices 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �3. The Committee places great emphasis on the interview; no one is admitted without it. Interviews are accorded to only about 10 percent of those who apply, so the invitation to come to the School for an interview is an important hurdle. Those chosen for interview are the survivors of a careful screening process set up by the Committee. This process includes a screening for academic achievement and a careful review by members of the Committee of the material contained in the application, particularly the personal essay, but including also the record of extracurricular achievements, and corroborating evidence of interest and curiosity about medicine as a career. The letters of recommendation received from the undergraduate college are given considerable weight in this review. 4. The Interviews focus on personal qualities of the applicant, on evidence of commitment and concern for others, and on other attributes deemed important for a successful career as a physician. After the interviews. the applicant is discussed by the Committee and a decision is reached. 5. Men, women, and minority students are being admitted primarily in proportion to the number of applicants in each group. Applicants who are residents of Western New York are accepted in slightly larger proportions than applicants from other areas. 6. Rejected applicants are free to reapply. They receive the same consideration by the Committee each time. The reapplicant should be aware, however. that each year's applicant pool is new and usually more competitive than the year before. The chances for success on reapplication may therefore be reduced slightly. 7. Rejected applicants who undertake graduate work may not reapply to medical school until the graduate degree is awarded. Engaging in graduate study does not insure a greater likelihood of later acceptance into medical school. The Admissions Committee and the School of Medicine do not allocate class places to a predetermined number of future surgeons, internists, family physicians, etc. Rather, the School attempts to identify individuals capable of performing the required work and endowed with those attributes of being a physician exemplary of excellence. I hope these comments will help to explain the work of the Admissions office and at the same time deal with common concerns brought to us by faculty, students, parents and other interested individuals. Sincerely. John Naughton, M.D. Dean SUMMER. 1976 3 �Faculty Council There was concern about the educative process at the School of Medicine. So deep was this concern back in 1972 that a Faculty Council was formed, its Bylaws ensuring that a body of elected department members together with department chairmen would "initiate. develop, and implement education programs" in Buffalo. Not only has this collective body been hard at work on policy procedures for such things as the curriculum, student admissions and academic process, but on faculty appointments. promotions. and tenure as well as organization structure. Rare if ever has been the occasion when policy, approved by Council membership. has not been adopted by the School of Medicine. That this is so. Council President Alexander Brownie attributes to involvement by the dean and his staff in the work of standing committees and as participants in faculty council meetings. As overseer, the steering committee more or less puts Council affairs in order. Its six elected members of equal basic science/clinical representation consider committee reports and plan agendas for monthly Faculty Council meetings. Since i ls formation more than four years ago, Dr. Brownie, who is professor of biochemistry and research professor of pathology, can point to the following actions taken by the Faculty Council: In the Curriculum: -reintroduction of psychiatry clerkship for juniors: embryology as part of the curriculum in anatomical sciences. -more course lime in human behavior for freshmen. -a block-integrated course in hematology; a core course in human sexuality for sophomores; a clinical pharmacy elective for seniors; a week of clinical neurology for juniors. -an accelerated program leading to gradua lion after three years of intensive study. -expanding courses in human genetics, family medicine for sophomores and in the core course in neuroanatomy for freshmen; time for clinical conferences in systemic pathology. In Student Affairs and Academic Standing: -procedures to guide medical student promotions; correct academic deficiencies; introduce students into modified curriculum programs; respond to student grievances: evaluate students during clinical years; academic integrity of students /faculty. -develop program for faculty advisors /preceptors. -examine student performance on Part I. National Boards and especially school policy on taking board examinations. -study the problems of financial aid for student examinations. Former Faculty Council Presidents: 1974-75 Dr. Ross Markello (anesthesiology); 1973-74 Dr. Harold Brody (anatomical sciences}; 1972-73 Dr. james Nolan (medicine} On Faculty appointment, promotion, tenure. privileges: -policy for qualified/unqualified title faculty promotions and tenure. On Admissions Policy: -determine policy designed to protect graduate programs: entry of graduate students into Medical School. -recommendation on preference for New York State residents in entering medic:al class. 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �On Elections and Bylaws: -a nominating committee for election of Faculty Council Officers. -legalization of student membership on Admission Policy Committee. -alteration of original Bylaws to allow amendments to be made more easily.

Eckhert was elected president of the newly created Western New York Heallh Systems Agency (HSA) in March. The 1935 Medical School graduate is chairman of the Comprehensive Health Planning Council of Western Ne\\ York which, along with the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program. V\ ill be replaced by the new agency. Dr. Eckhert is a clinical instructor in family medicine and legal medicine at the Medical School. The Health Systems Agency will have broad functions in health care planning and funding in the eight counties of Western New York. The HSA is a private. non-profit corporation set up under a broad federal mandate. It will probably be fully operational sometime in summer. There is a 79-member board of directors and elected officers. Other elected officers are-vice-president, Murray S. Marsh of Jamestown. administrator of W.C.A. Hospital; secretary. Erie Countv Legislator Roger Blach\ell from Buffalo and treasurer. Fred j. Bruski, a Lockport resident who is treasurer of the Regional Planning Council. o An air cooling device is used at Children's Hospital to prepare infants for su rgery. It is the "method of choice" for applying deep hypothermia in pediatric heart surgery, according to Dr. S. Subramanian. chief of cardiovascular surgery at Children's and professor of surgery at the Medical School. The Subramanian- Vidne Hypothermia Chamber was developed by Dr. Subramanian and Dr. Bernardo Vidne, a cardiovascular surgeon at Beilinson Hospital in Tel Aviv. Dr. Vidne was on a fellowship at Children's last summer. The device tmproves the ability of physicians to greatly lower the body temperature of infants and put them in a s tate of"suspended animation" before heart surgery. Jt has been.used with 10 patients and is far superior to other processes, according lo Dr. Subramanian. He pointed out that the chamber could be used for adult heart surgery pat ients and for adults who have had heart attacks. Dr. Subramanian noted that with the chamber the cooling is uniform for all areas of the body and always predictable. The hypothermia chamber is four feet long. three feet wide and four feel tall. It is two units - a stainless steel unit which contains the refrigeration equipment and a plexiglass dome which sits on the other unit under which the anesthesizedinfant is placed. Oxygen is pro\·ided to the infant and cold air is circulated around him to gradually lower his body temperature. Electric monitoring equipment keeps track of his vital functions. "Patients can be kept safely in 'suspended animation' for up to an hour. This provides ample time to correct heart defects. The process makes surgery less complicated because the heart is not beating. and there is no blood loss to impair the surgeon's vision.'' Dr. Subramanian said. Studies at Children's Hospital show that infants on whom the device has been used have no detrimental physical or psychological after effects. o SUMMER. 1976 7 Health Systems Agency Infant Heart Defects Clo•orh· 1'i~ibl1• under plastic dome, bobr lies atop refrillf'ratron unit of portable h}'porhcrmia mochme.

While a good share (108) of the 145-member class participated in the matching plan, another 36 (three limes that of last year) elected to make their own arrangements. Commented the associate dean of student and curricular affairs, "seven couples were successful in getting postgraduate opportunities in the same city." That more seniors than ever before (66 as compared to 44 last year) are remaining in Buffalo for their internship or first year of residency, he attributes to the attractiveness of programs here. Continuing, he pointed to another 16 seniors who will continue their studies in other parts of the state. He also expressed pride in "the numerous matches to very lop programs elsewhere." Those matched with hospitals outside New York State will go to 23 other states. with Ohio receiving 13, California 8, and Wisconsin 5. Others are: four each to Arizona, Massachusetts, Virginia, Washington , D.C.; two each to Connecticut, Minnesota, Michigan, Washington ; one each to Pennsylvania, Illinois, Florida, Tennessee, Missouri, Maryland, South Carolina, Puerto Rico. Two will enter the U.S. Public Health Service (one to Boston, another to New York City) while three will go into the U.S. Navy. About half (62) "matched" with their first choice hospital. while 86% were matched with a hospital among their first three choices. Almost all will continue their training at University-affiliated hospitals, he said. 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN .. \ �As in the past, the largest number (54) will continue studies in medicine, while 28 will go into surgery, 21 to pediatrics. Family practice attracts its largest number (16 compared to 9 last year).

Dean John ~~au~hlon. Charles Monn (back to camera). "E ndurance Athleti c Injuri es Prev ention, Care exercises are aerobic in nature. while strength building or isometriC exercises. which are shorter and more intense. are anaerobic." So stated Dean John Naughton before 65 graduate students (teachers and coaches) at the opening session of a special credit course. Twenty-two members of the class were women. "In a good endurance training program a minimum of 12 minutes of continuous exercise is required at least three days a week. Preferably each activity sess10n should last a total of 30 to 45 minutes. If an individual can exercise continuously for more than 12 minutes, he is probably fit from a cardiovascular s tandpoint and can perform such activi ties as running, jogging, playing tennis a nd swimming. Professional athletes must exercise for much longer periods of time each day," Dr. Naughton said. "If oxygen capacity and endura nce are to be measured using competitive exercises as the training modality, these exercises must be performed for a longer period of time at each session. For instance, instead of jogging for 12 to 15 minutes, an individual may wish to play tennis for an hour. A requirement of aerobic exercise is that it must tax a person's capacity to the point where he is breathing hard and his heart rate is in excess of 70% of its peak capacity. Wind sprints will increase anaerobic reserve but not oxygen capacity. It is better to run for long periods of time as opposed to running fast for a short time," Dean Naughton said. "Hearl rate is the key to eff1c1enc~ of your cardiovascular system. The lower the heart rate for a given task, the more efficient the cardiovascular system. An athlete at rest may have a heart rate as low as 40 per minute. A non-athlete may have a heart ra te of100 beals per minu te." Or. Naughton mentioned four exercise methods that can be used for controlled and supervised physical reconditioning treadmill, b icycles (stationary or mobile), steps and r unning track. 16 T HE BUFFALO P HYSICIAN �"Our cardiovascular system. not our respiratory system, limits us in exercise. Even when we are near exhaustion, there 1s a breath1ng reserve we can call upon. What determines our maximum oxygen intake is our ability to move blood from the heart to the brain. heart muscles and exercising muscles. This is a critical dimension in the limitation of exercise. The healthier the cardiovascular system, the greater will be the person's capacity for sports or exercise.'' Dr. Naughton listed six body changes that take place when the cardiac output attains its peak: a dramatic decrease in resting heart rate: in the amount of blood that each heart beat generates; decrease in blood pressure: and increased ability for the active organs to extract oxygen; a diminished resistance in blood vessels; and an increase in caliber of blood vessels. Dean Naughton said that in progressive exercise stress tests, an individual is started at a low effort of exercise. The workload is gradually and progressively increased over time. Eventually, the subject reaches a point of limitation beyond which he cannot exercise comfortably. i.e .. his endurance capacity. Studies show that Europeans are more physically fit than Americans. For example, a European boy at the age of 15 has a capacity of 15 to 16 times the work of rest, while his American counterpart can attain 11 times the resting requirement. Peak fitness in American youth is usually reached before age 20, stabilized from about 20 to 25 years. and then begins to decline over the next 25 years of life. "Man}' Americans never reach a physically fit state because the only exercise they perform is walking to and from their automobiles. They have a low aerobic endurance and this may account in part, for their greater incidence rate of heart attacks. "Middle aged people. who are regularly physically active, who don't smoke. don't gain weight, and remain physically fit. will statistically experience healthier and longer lives," Dean Naughton concluded. Dr. Joseph Godfrey. Buffalo Bills' team physician, told the coaches and teachers sports injuries are the same as you might get in industrial accidents, a home injury or automobile mishaps. The only difference is a sport injury gets more media coverage. Dr. Godfrey is a 1931 \fedical School graduate. "When ~ou are dealing with a head or neck injUf\' don't lake the helmet off. Block the head with bricks, wet towels. icebags to keep the head immobile Keep the patient in a neutral or fixed position on the field and when he is being transported. In pool accidents, don't drag the patient out of the water; take the stretcher to him in the water." The Bills' physician told the teachers and coaches not to worry about the tongue. "II heals fast and has lhe most lush blood supply in the body. If you must get medication into Lhe body quickly, crush the pill and place it under the tongue. r SUMMER. 1976 17 1- Dean Naughton is a post president of the American College of Sports Medicine.

"stay away from medication that gives people a high. Don't buy cheap substitutes for aspirin. For pain - what you buy over the counter from a reliable pharmacist is safe. But don't give it in large doses. There is no place for B-12 for an athlete. Steroids- we use them. We will use cortisone only three times and if it doesn't work, forget it. "We have never given an athlete demerol and sent him back on the field to play. We have given our athletes empirin and sent them back into action- but only when we knew it would not hurl his well being or complicate his problem. A local anesthetic is all right for a fractured toe or hip pointer. We never use injections for hip joints, shoulder, knee. elbow. wrist, or ankle joint injuries. "You don't toughen an athlete by restricting his fluid intake. Take a water break during practice. You don't need ice water, just cool water, Pepsi or Gater Aide. Watch the weight loss of your athletes especially in hot weather." Dr. Godfrey suggested to the teachers and coaches that they throw out the training table if they have any influence. "Don't force an athlete to eat just because he is going into a contest. Give them "''hat they want to eat- pancakes with honey. Give athletes carbohydrates a long time before the game. Some of the greatest endurance players in the world (South American soccer players) don't eat before participating." Dr. Godfrey suggested guidelines in sports medicine be formulated by sports groups in a joint workshop and then endorsed by the National Academy of Science. 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �On a philosophic note Dr. Godfrey said he wants truth. morality and honesty from the people he deals with. "And for e\·eryone's sake when you raise your children. don't make them a star or a hero. No record was ever set \.'\'ithout someone running second." The team physician for U B's athletic teams, Or. Edmond J. Gicewicz, dtscussed physical examinations and drugs. "We especially look for disqualifying features in our physical examinations. In the pancreas area we check for brittle diabetes; in the abdomen for undescended testes, enlarged intro-abdominal organs; in the lung we look for limited pulmonary function, infection and severe bronchial asthma of the recurrent type. "In a cardiovascular examination we look for hypertension. organic heart disease. and the Wolff Parkinson-White syndrome. In the genito-urinary system we look for a diseased kidney. testicle absence and absence of one kidney. "In the musculoskeletal system we look for recurrent dislocations. spondylohsthesis, gross instabilit~ of both knees. Schuerman's Disease, the loss of adequate major joint function and atroph~ of weight beanng joints.'' Or. Gtcewicz, a 1956 Medical School graduate, pointed out that no drug C\ er made an athlete - only hard work. "We never use drugs to improve performance. We use them onl) to restore and maintain normal body function." The University team physician discussed four classifications of d r ugs in sports other than those of proven value: probable value- injectible steroids and mild sedatives; possible value- anti-inflamatory, muscle relaxants and enzymes; no value - ergogenic aids; not rectlgnized - narcotics and tranquilizers.

Buffalo Bills' trainer Edward Abromoski pointed out that face masking incidents often precede a fracture. "'Many head injuries are blamed on the fault of the helmet. Many of these injuries are a combination of flexion. extension and rotary motion." U tB's athletic trainer Michael Rielly said that an athletic trainer should have sport familiarity or be a physical education teacher. "Physical therapists make good athletic trainers and in the past injured players \Vho wanted to remain close to the action became athletic trainers." In the rehabilitation of knee injuries, Robert Reese, Buffalo Bills' athletic trainer said. "we don't use weights. We prefer lateral step-ups- the principle being that the athlete is moving on his own weight in a vertical plnne." Raymond Melchiorre, Buffalo Braves' athletic trainer, described the flexibility program that he recently installed. "It was hard to sell the players because it was a new idea and different equipment was used. When \\e convinced the players that the program would increase their longevity as a player they became interested. The program is designed for indi\'idual use and it allows for a wide range of activity. "The Braves do flexibility exercises on a team basis before and after practice (turning wrists and elbows. stretchmg fingers, shoulder. ankle. knee movements, rotation of the neck, 100 rope skips. incline boards. shooting and running). If you cheat on the exercises, there is no use doing them. In doing any type of exercise it is important that you 'warm up and warm down' by working at onehalf speed, then three-quarters and full speed, and then reverse and work down,"' Melchiorre concluded. In discussing weight lifting, Joseph Murray, Buffalo Bills' strength coach, said that you must use common sense and rest between workouts. "Perform all exercises in a deliberate manner. Don't do any type of exercise that hurts. If you combine weight lifting with running on the same day - run first and then rest 30 minutes. "A good work scheme is to work out two days a week and rest the other days. I would suggest using three sets and five to 10 repetitions t•..vo or three limes a week. The sport dictates the type of exercises an athlete will use," Murray concluded. William '"Pinky" Newell, head athletic trainer at Purdue University, stressed the importance of keeping a health record on every athlete in your training room. "And be sure you have a list of names of people that can help you in case of an emergency. "If an eye is lacerated. don't compress it. but place a drinking cup O\'er it and wrap it for protection. "In the case of a slight concussion be sure that vou inform the parents if the athlete is coming home." On the side lines Newell suggests that you have available splinting material. adjustable crutches, ice cups or ice bags. blankets and a spin board. o 20 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �International Immunology Convocation "Human Blood Groups" will be the theme of the fifth International Convocation on Immunology June 7-10 at the Holiday Inn, Grand Island, New York.

Lambert, associate professor of microbiology; Carel J. van Oss. professor of microbiology; and Richard W. Plunkett. assistant professor of miCrobiology. o SUMMER. 1976 21 �"W e Nutrition Conferences Dr. Blackburn are so carried a ..vay with the marvelous drugs, the antibiotics that we have lost track of nutrition when it comes to treating the serious!~ ill patient." This is that Dr. George L. Blackburn told Medical School students and faculty at the first nutritlon lecture sponsored by the biochemistry department. The assistant professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School said. "to ignore nutrition is a costly error." He is also a senior research assistant. nutrition department, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Because nutritional needs of patients are not always met, many patients are unnecessarily dying, unnecessarily suffering complications. In some cases the patient is almost starving to death. We can't afford to do this anymore," Dr. Blackburn said. The Harvard physician showed his audience slides taken in hospitals of malnourished patients. He stressed that a patient who "looks good," or who is obese can be nutritionally-starved. They should be tested, he said. "Too few people recognize that there is a serious nutrition problem in this country But1t is evident in many places, even your best hospital. "The body's metabolic response to injury has incorrectly been viewed as a medical syndrome to be treated.'' He described it as "a marvelous. orchestra ted response which in large part can take care of itself. When we step in to beat Mother Nature is when we run into problems.'' Dr. Blackburn suggested that specific regimens must be developed to meet the nutritional needs of each patient. "Entirely too much time has been spent in making hospital food appealing. When you are sick food does not taste good. So get protein calories into the patient by a pill. And if the patient wants all ice cream, give it to him." Or. Blackburn pointed out that proper liver function requires amino acids. But the glucose intravenous solutions used by most hospitals in the United States contain no amino acids. "American hospitals use 16 million bottles of solution a year and this accentuates the problem and can impair the body's natural response to injury." One of the problems is getting people to change. "Most dieticians are only prepared to handle a manual diet. They are not prepared to tell a physician what the patient needs. This is a major gap. In most hospitals dieticians may be seen but not heard," Dr. Blackburn concluded. Diet affects the brain function in humans, according to Dr. john Fernstrom, assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Services at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "A proper nutritious diet IS important if we are to keep the body and brain functioning efficiently.'' In his illustrated lecture Dr. Fernstrom showed slides of neurons in the brain and said they function electrically and through chemical transmitters. ln experiments with rats he showed how 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �tryptophan, an amino acid that exists in proteins, changes responses. In less than ten minutes after rats were injected with tryptophan there was substantiall~ more serotonin in the brain . This made the brain more active. The researcher found the consumption of food changes the serotonin level in less than two hours in animals. When rats were fed an artificial diet deficient in tryptophan the serotonin level in the brain decreased. Or. Fernstrom also found that animals with low serotonin are more sensitive to painful stimuli. But when tryptophan was added to the diet the pain level became normal and brain function increased. "There is a close correlation between the level of tryptophan in the blood and the amount of protein in the diet." Or. Fernstrom made several other observations: - corn meal has only six percent protein and is low in tryptophan: - if you know how a diet affects amino acid levels you will know how it affects brain tryptophan; -the synthesis rate in corn fed animals is low. When they are injected with tryptophan they begin synthesizing plenty of serotonin: -there is a correlation between sleep and serotonin activity in the brain: -our bodies can't manufacture enough serotonin. But with a proper diet tryptophan by synthesis is converted to serotonin. There is considerable evidence that nutritional factors suppress or speed up the development of certain tumors. But we still have a lot to learn, according to Or. Fred Rosen, research professor of biochemistry a l Roswell Park Memorial Institute. "We know that tumors differ in nutritional requirements. We also know that a change in diet affects cancer growth in animals. But we don't know enough. A folic acid deficiency blocks the growth of cells in some tumors, while other tumors are not affected. Rats that were fed a high-fat diet developed more tumors than those fed a low-fat diet." The researcher-educator noted some promising developments of intravenous feeding to cancer patients. Proteins, vitamins and minerals are included along \\ ith sugar. "This has been found to maintain the weight of the patients who responded better after surgery. X-rays and other therapy. Cancer patients lose weight because often they have no appetite, no smell or taste. They seem to develop an aversion to eating meat." Or. Rosen prescribed a more complete diet so the patient will be stronger and better able to undergo surgery and therapy. "There is mounting evidence that the low level of fiber in the American diet may be responsible for the high incidence of cancer of the colon in this country. There may be 50,000 new cases of this type of cancer in this country next year, second only to lung cancer. By contrast countries like Czechoslovakia have a low incidence of colon cancer but have more stomach cancer. This may mean that SUMMER. 1976 23 Or. Bcn;amin E.

(Czechs' diets are low in protein and fats. high in fiber-rich vegetables and grain)." The high incidence of stomach tumors in Japan might be related to a diet of too much smoked fish and rice, according to Dr. Rosen. But Japanese women who come to the United States have a higher incidence of cancer of the colon than those who remain in Japan because of the western-type diet. Stomach cancer has been decreasing in the United States in the last decade. "It is not known why. but perhaps nutrition is playing a part," Dr. Rosen said. He also believes more attention will be given to prevenlton of cancer in the years ahead. There is a close correlation bet...veen breast cancer and obesity in the United States because of our high fat diet. Dr. Rosen does not feel comfortable with diets. I le suggests eating less- smaller but balanced meals and fewer calories. "Five or six smallet· meals daily are more beneficial than three meals." l>r.

Children who suffer from malnutrition may not be the "lost generation" that we once thought. according to Dr. Myron Winick. pediatrics professor and director of the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. "Recovery is possible for many of these children if the proper amount of stimuli can be provided." Dr. Winick noted that just five years ago scientists were discouraged because there were 350 million children in the world who were malnourished during the first year of life. "Tests show that there is very little retardation when these children subsequently received proper nourishment and are placed in a stimulating environment. The interactiOn of environment and nutrition on the central nervous system makes recovery almost total." The pedia I rics professor discussed protein calorie malnutrition in children and the starvnt ion syndrome. His slides graphically illustrated the types of malnutrition that affect children throughout the world. Malnutrition causes retardation in cellular growth in the nervous system. The most critical period is the first 18 months after birth because this is the time that most brain cells are formed. Experiments with animals proved this conclusively." Or. Winick said. Dr. Winick mentioned a study of Korean children adopted by American families. This study involved three groups of childrenthose who were malnourished early in life. those who were moderately malnourished and those \'\'ho were well nourished. All of the children were adopted by American families by the time they were two years old. Follow-up studies of the children showed that by the lime they reached I 0. "they all had reached heights far above \'\'hat we would have expected of normal Korean children." The nutrition expert pointed out that in terms of height, weight. and IQ all children had comparable results. "But in each category there were significant differences between those who were originally malnourished .1nd those who originally were well nourished." 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The \'isiting lecturer made several other observations: - malnutrition causes a biochemical attack on our system: -head circumference is less in malnourished children and this reflects changes in the brain. and when this happens complete recovery is more difficult: -pre-natal malnutrition wiU affect cell dh·ision: - it is often difficult to isolate malnutrition from other problems which accompany malnutrition; - the number of cells any organ has is not fixed by genetics. but by environment: -when you super feed animals you will increase the number of cells and this may cause obesity. "Within the last few years considerable evidence has accumulated on the controls of metabolic events in the liver. adipose tissue and muscle by direct neurogenic signals from the limbic-hypothalamicautonomic nervous system circuitry. The significance of these finds in homeostasis is obvious" said Dr. Lee L. Bernardis. research professor of surgery. In his review of investigations in this area that now goes back over 100 years, he reported on the work of Japanese investigators who found profound alterations in key liver enzyme activities by stimulation of the hypothalamus and autonomic nen·es. Dr. Bernardis mentioned his work with Dr. Jack Goldman in the weanling rat. They demonstrated that hypothalamic obesity and the attendant metabolic changes do not require the presence of the pituitary gland and/or the endocrine pancreas. Work in collaboration with Dr. Lawrence Frohman pomts to a control of glucose metabolism by an integrated neuroendocrine-neurogenic system that involves the ventromedial hypothalamus but not the pituitary gland. Dr. Bernard is went on to say that the vagal influence of insulin secretion is independent of circulating' glucose levels, that "the neurogenic control of glucagon by the sympathetic moiety of the autonomic system may well play a role in the etiology of diabetes mellitus," and that "the inhibition of both insulin and glucagon by somatostatin (SRIF]. a hypothalamic principle, appears to be of great conceptual and clinical significance." Both clinical and basic studies in this area are not empty academic exercises but of profound practical importance. according to Dr. Bernardis. "The bypercatabolic state of trauma and sepsis is characterized by excessive protein catabolism hyperglycemia, insulin resistance. and increased fatty acid levels for the circulating glucose. The failure of the high glucose levels to 'turn off' the production of new glucose by glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis points to a breakdown in homeostatic control mechanisms that may have a strong hypothalamic-neurogenic component. The hepatic failure that characterizes these conditions brings about a disruption of neurogenic information flow from the liver to the hypothalamus about the glucose status of the liver from hepatic 'glucoreceptors'." cJ- SUMMER. 1976 25 Dr. B<'rnordis �Dr. Bernardis also reviewed the 30 year-history of neurogenic control of endocrine glands. He reported findings by Hungarian workers on a neural connection between the ventromedial hypothalamus and the adrenal cortex. The significance of such a connection is obvious in the demands placed on the organism during stress and in the "General Adaptation Syndrome" of Selye. Also, both morphological and functional evidence has been presented by American investigators for an induction of thyroid hormone secretion by sympathetic nerve stimulation in the mouse. Sympathetic nerve endings in the thyroid follicles disappear after surgical or chemical sympathectomy. "Last, but not least, pathways from the hypothalamus not only reach the median eminence (neuroendocrine control) and autonomic centers (neuroautonomic-metabolic control) in the medul1a and the neuraxis but also influence other extrahypothalamic loci. Marlin in Canada has recently hypothesized that hypothalamic neurons (dopaminergic serotoninergic) and pathways may be involved in impulse transmission over a diffuse network in wide areas of the CNS," Dr. Bernardis concluded. Dr. Greenwood Dr. Greenwood mentioned two med1cal students. Barbara 1\.lcin and Mark Glassman, who worked with her in research at Columbia. Obese people have too many fat cells and these same cells are larger than in people of normal weight, according to Dr. M. R. C. Greenwood, assistant professor of physiology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. The educator-researcher pointed out that "no amount of weight reduction will reduce these fat cells. This is a serious health problem for many people since people tend to become more overweight with age." Dr. Greenwood prescribed a more active Ufe for obese people. "This is much healthier than cutting food intake. It is much better to keep food intake normal." In her illustrated lecture she talked about several experiments that she and her colleagues had conducted on fat and lean rats. Many of the conclusions relate directly or indirectly to human obesity problems. "Successful' treatment for overweight humans is very dismal. We need to know something more about obese people- their eating habits as well as other acti" ities. Then perhaps we can develop a set of rules that will more effectively check obesity," Dr. Greenwood said. "An obese child oft wo has as many fat cells as a normal eightyear-old. And at puberty there is a great proliferation of fat cells. It is very difficult to have an effective weight reduction program for this type of person. Bemg active will help,"Lhe educator-researcher said. Dr. Greenwood reminded her audience that obesity is of personal interest to many people. In some cases it may mean social rejection. "Our customs, beliefs and taste for rich food are major problems in fighting obesity," Dr. Greenwood concluded. 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Why did he study the metal zinc? Long thought to be a chemically uninteresting trace metal, it stands but 28th on the list of chemical elements. Through a "personalized" history - one of 30 years- Dr. Bert Vallee. the seventh in a series of nutrition lecturers sponsored by the department of biochemistry .,,•as able to trace the unusual manner in .,, hich his studies on zinc began in the forties and to end with its importance to nutrition- the retardation in growth which occurs in all species (microorganisms, plants, vertebrates) when it is absent. The Paul C. Cabot professor of biological chemistry at Harvard University explained that following radioactive "tagging" of red cells and its breakthrough in blood preservation in the forties, he wondered whether the same method might not be used to study the life cycle of leukocytes or while blood cells. In Dr. Vallee's search for a metal to do just that he recalled his earlier studies on zinc. "Although my Harvard colleagues sought to dissuade me. I decided to take another look," he said. Because a search through the Literature on zinc turned up almost nothing, he returned to the laboratory to begin the separation and analysis of leukocytes through laborious methods. Finding that normal cells contained much more zinc than leukemic ones, he wanted to fmd more modern methods by which to purify proteins. Going to MIT, he learned about methods such as atomic absorption. spectroscopy, etc. and through them. "started to look at zinc proteins." And with the development of methods that could be applied to enzymes he noted that its study became a relatively easy matter. In 1954. he and Dr. Hans Neuratb proved that zinc was not a trace element. Rather, they were able to document its ability to act as a co-enzyme. Because early studies on culturing zinc-deficient human cells were difficult, Dr. Vallee turned to "flagella." And he was able to make one of its species, that of E. Gracilis, zinc deficient. "We now have a system by which to get at intracellular events and to nail down the biochemical role of zinc," he explained. "While we are not yet able to grow emphatic leukemic cells or to make them zinc deficient, we have a start in terms of DNA metabolism," he explained. His biochemical advances have led to the pinpointing of at least one metabolic pathway for zinc, that of reverse transcriptase, and the pulling to rest of at least one long-held beliei. While he does not yet know of zinc's ultimate importance, Dr. Vallee believes it will be a substantial one. Although its predictability at this time is small, he believes "it may work through devious routes." And he is convinced that what is known about it is relevant to all nucleic proteins acids found in normal cells. "I am surprised." he concluded. "that this material is ubiquitiously involved in so many stages of biology." And he sees zinc as a means to alter genetic material of the cell itself (transcriptase). o SUMMER. 1976 27 �Drs.

BoARDS should be considered educational achievement National Boards tests. according to Dr. Robert Chase. president and director of the National Board of Medical Examiners. The physician-educator who gave the Harrington Lecture told medical students and faculty that National Boards are but one route to licensure. "Exams are not an assurance of competency. but they do protect society against incompetency." Fifty states now accept the National Boards as a basis for licensure, he said. Noting that one lime licensure or certification is not a sensible approach to quality medicine anymore than it is for airline pilots. he pointed to 11 states which allow state boards the option of relicensure of physicians. "Six states have mandatory relicensure," he said, "and there are 65 areas of certification for specialty in medicine." A complex situation, he noted that one general evaluation exam will never suffice. "We must find out in detail what every physician is doing and evaluate him on that." While he feels the medical profession cannot be proud of its own self discipline, he points to progress over the last few years. After looking at National Boards in a broad perspective, Dr. Chase is convinced as to its reliability. ''It is an opportunity for the individual student to test himself against an external standard and for the school to look at all of its students in relation to the national standard." Each school is sent an elaborate confidential report. But he was quick to point to the travesty of ranking medical schools and misuse of this information. Noting that all U. S. medical schools perform at a very high level. he feels that to rank them is ridiculous. "The ran kings don't suggest excellence or lack of it,'' he said. No longer will National Boards do this. "We will provide each school with much more valuable information,"he said. "Among Dr. Chose (left} talks Jnformolly to students and faculty. 30 THE BUFFALO PHYS ICIAN �Several (ocultr nu•mbers hove lunch w1th Dr. Chase. other things we will not only provide a standard curve, but three other curves -one for reference. one for na tiona I pool, and one for a particular school. The curve of U B students last year is very reassuring to me." He endorsed the "mini test" given annually in various disciplines to determine progress of students. But he admitted to the many limitations to testing. "The public would never approve of eliminating competency tests," he said. "In four or five years there will probably be a Comprehensive Qualifying Exam to test knowledge on patient care responsibdities. It will probably be given after graduation and before completion of residency training. This exam will be a common filter for all people entering graduate medical educa lion (foreign medical graduates included). This will help to assure the public that those taking care of them are competent. And it will eliminaie dual standards," he said. Dr. Chase traced briefly the history of National Boards that were founded in 1915 lo standardize the medical profession and hold national examinations. "The first real change came in 1961 when specialty boards came to us for counsel in preparing tests. We have helped 15 specialty boards in the last 15 years. We now administer. score, and analyze 150,000 examinations." Its testmg committee is made up of 108 faculty members from 78 medical schools (three from U!B) who decide on content and thrusts of tests. The Board develops evaluation strategies for medical students from undergraduate years through all phases of graduate medical education (interns, residents, continuing education). "Our health care system is in the process of change and the federal government is the principal reason. The federal government underwrites 60 percent of a physician's education, 70 percent of biomedical research, and 25 percent of health care services. In the final analysis it is the public that is paying the bill and demands some say in physic~ans' conduct." d- SUMMER. 1976 31 The Harrington lecturer was selected by o student-faculty comm1ttee of the Medico/ School.

Chase deplored the highly-publicized malpractice crisis. "It is time that physicians stood up and admitted that part of the malpractice crisis is malpractice." With a full-time research department. the board is now looking into ways of measuring noncognitive components of physician competency. such as interpersonal skills - motivation, responsibility and competency. "Valid strategies for evaluating such sk1lls do not exist. But we can measure the basic aspects such as knowledge. problem solving, incompetency and some motor skills." Dr. Chase made some other observations: -medical schools should not gear their curriculum toward National Board Exams. -students do better when the school insists they take and pass the National Boards. -our tests are not comprehensive, but they do measure certain components of competence. -90 percent of all basic science material was found to be relevant. Or. Chase did not know why some schools do poorly on National Boards. "Perhaps il means something good is happening in terms of social values lhal is more characteristic of the student body." o Nine American medical students, all graduates of the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, Mexico, School of Medicine, enrolled in the nine-month Fifth Pathway Program in January. This is thesecond group of United States Foreign Medical Students to come to Buffalo. The first group of 16 came to Buffalo last July. The students arf' on three-month rotations at four Buffalo hospitals -Sisters, Deaconess, Mercy and Millard Fillmore. Dr. Harry Alvis, who heads the USFMS Program said. "upon completion of this program the students will be eligible for appointment to PGY-J level (internships) which are approved postgraduate training programs in the leaching hospitals of the State of New York. The studen ts are also eligible to sit for the licensing exammation (FLEX)." Or. Alvis is director of medical education at Millard Fillmore and a climcal as soc 1a te professor of social and preventive medicine at the Medical School. o �Ttns bicentennial year will be an eventful one for Henry M. Bartkowski, senior medical student. In May he received the M.D. degree and in September he will be awarded the Ph.D. in anatomical sciences at the State University at Buffalo. "It took me two extra years -six in all- here at U B. It has been a real challenge and I enjoyed every minute of it. These additional years of research and study have better prepared me for my future goal- teaching neurosurgery to residents in a hospital setting," Bartkowski said. He will begin a six-year residency program in neurosurgery at New York University in July, 1977. He will intern in California before beginning his New York University residency. Bartkowski entered the Ut B medical school in September of 1970, after receiving his B.A. degree from Canisius College. "I started thinking about the M.D.1Ph.D. program during my sophomore year. but did not bing about it until the beginning of my junior year." After consultation with Dr. Harold Brody. professor and chairman of anatomical sciences. Bartkowski decided on the M.O. /Ph.D. program. He had completed 1\..,.o and one-half years in medical school when the decision was made. The next 12 months (1973) he spent in the graduate school. The next two years he alternated bet ween the medical school and graduate school, studying about 80 to 90 hours a week. "I took my senior year clinical rotations in four hospitals (Buffalo General, Children's, Meyer and Sisters) from January-August 1975. For my senior elective I was at Massachusetts General Hospital (neurology department) in April. Since September I have been completing my 77 hours of required graduate sc:hool credit and writing my dissertation - A Study on the Ultrastructural Substrate of the Blood-Brain Barrier: An Electron M1croscop1c and Tracer Investigation oft he: Burrier Under !\or mal and Pathologic Cond1Lions. "My interest in research is the main reason that I decided on the Ph.D. I have been using Dr. Louis Bakay's neurosurgical lab for some of m~ research acli \ ities." He is professor and chairman of neurosurgery at the ~ledical School. Dr. Brody was instrumental in gelling Bartkowski graduate fellowship awards the last three years, which waive tuition and pay a stipend. During the summer of 1971 BartkO\\ ski had a medical externs hip at Deaconess Hospital. The following summer he had a fello\.... ship \\ith Or. Werner Noell in experimental epilepsy. Or. Noell is professor of physiology and directs the neurophysiology laboratory. In 1973 he had a fellowship in experimental hydrocephalus w1th Or. Joseph C. Lee, his advisor. who is professor of anatomical sciences and research associate professor of neurosurgery. Since July 1974 Bartkowski has had a "working e'\.ternship'' at the Buffalo General and Deaconess Hospitals. It hasn't been aU work for the semor medical student. He plays classical music on the piano as a hobby. And he also finds time to golf. sk1 and play hockey with the Medical School team. He is also working on a pilot's license. He has completed 35 flying hours, 15 solo. o SUMMER, 1976 33 Henry Bartkowski Henry Bartkowskr �Secret Student Medical Society Formed in 1848 by Oliver P. jones. Ph.D., M.D. DtstingUJshed Professor It has been my privilege to read and analyze a diary (journal) written by one of our medical students, John D. Hill, who attended the University of Buffalo from 31 January 1848 to 18 April1849. In addition to the daily entries while he was a student. there are others relating his experiences as a physician. with the final entry on 22 July 1852 wrilten when he was Health Physician for the City of Buffalo during a cholera epidemic.• John Davtdson Hill was born in Manchester, New York, 29 April 1822. He was raised on a farm and at 15 years of age was the sole manager of 500 acres of land. He left the farm when he was 17 years old and entered Lima Seminary to seek an education and the wider walks of life. Afterwards, he studied medicine in the office of Dr. Dayton in Lima and in 1847 was matriculated at Geneva Medical College (October 1847 through January 1848). Apparently Hill did not keep a diary at Geneva as he did at Buffalo, and referred to his experiences there in just a couple sentences about his former professors. Drs. Coventry, Hadley, Webster, Lee and Hamilton held chairs in both medical schools. The professors taught at Geneva in the early part of the winter and at Buffalo in February. This plan was adopted for the mutual convenience of the professors at Geneva and students who might wish to attend lectures at both places. In spite of the similarity of the medical faculties. Hill was attracted to Buffalo because of the abundant sources of clinical material and the proposed establishment of the Buffalo City Hospital and Sisters of Charity Hospital. Before taking up the narrative relative to the formation of a secret student medical society at Buffalo. ilis fitting that Chauncey Leake's excellent paragraph about secret societies be quoted in lolo.z As Jon~ as monk1nd has llXIStcd. apparently it has been the custom for congenial. and usually conv1vwl spmts to form fraternal cliques. Within these orgamzot1ons, bound b} SI!Crcl vows and :;olemn oaths, brol her hood is supposed to rc1gn Although the highest tdc!o/s towc1rds the betterment of soc1ety professedly m1ght always be 1mplied to the outsulc world. yet a fundamental principle in every such bond 1s to stand by each othl!r, stand by each member, come what may. On 31 January 1848. Hill"Left Victor (N.Y.) for Buffalo for the purpose of pursuing the study of medicine under the instruction of Dr. (Horatio N.) Loomis." Hill was in the third class to be admitted to the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo. The regular lecture term commenced on 23 February 1848. but it was not until4 March 1848 that a secret med1cal society was formed. Of the 252 entries in the diary. nineteen deal with this organization. The first extract reads. 4 March 1848 The Hal/enan Lod~t: :-:o.6 met at the medico/ college th1s evemng for the first trme and adopted the1r constllutwn and 8;--Laws. The Lodge has a vcrr (orr commenccmenl and th1ngsoppPor (avorob/c foro flourrshm11./odge (see lop of Figure 1). Since the medical students formed Hallerian Lodge No.6, there must have been some kind of a national organization in existence at that time. It was apparently named in honor of Albrecht von Haller (1708-1777) the great Swiss anatomist, physiologist. and physician who bas been styled "Haller the Great." 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �'/ .. ~- /~1 ....

In those days it was customary for medical school classes to be conducted in the morning, afternoon. and evenings. Whether Or. Ford was a member at that time is unclear. but at a later date he is mentioned as being present at an initiation ceremony. "Or. Ford" refers to the demonstrator of Anatomy. Or. Corydon La Ford ( 1813-1894 }. who later became one of the most noted anatomists in the country and was Professor of Anatomy and Physiology at the University of Michigan with an annual salary of $1,000 in 1860.3 The final reference for that year to the secret society was on: 25 March 1848 anatomy In tht•t•vrnrn~ ollended the H.L. of O.E. and occuprcd the choir on During the next nine months Hill was busily occupied with clinical subjects, duties performed for Dr. Loomis, a n internship at the Alms House, in addition to recovering from a bout of typhus fever.

The next entry does not mention the lodge specifically, but it does refer to the committee appointed during the preceding meeting. The only indication we have that Hill was the leading force io the H.L.O.E. may be gleaned from the entry of 13 March 1848. Therefore if anyone was to be suspect it would naturally be the leader.

Perhaps both regalia and certificates were obtained locally. At any rate. stnce the membership voted to have certificates printed, it could mean that this Lodge decided to have them without a mandate from the National organization or that headquarters permitted an option in this matter. Perhaps someday one of these certificates will be fou nd tucked away in an old scrapbook. In addition to I he diary HiJJ also kept a scrapbook which. unfortunately for this discussion, contains only items of interest after he graduated. The final entry about the secret society was on: '1 Aptil1849 We hod our lost «'xominotion in the Hollerian Lodge for !Ius torm. These examinations were to prepare the brothers for their examinations by the medical faculty and Curators from the several county medical societies. ll is evident from t hese entries that a secret association or study club was organized for mutual improvement and that some of the brothers served as quizmasters or coaches. Hill mentions the initiation of 15 brothers but does not indicate whether this included himself and other charter members. We know nothing about the ritual, oath or total number ofHallerian Lodges. 6 The library of the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society was not helpful in soh·ing this problem and neither were the standard reference sources. A letter to the editor of Medical World l\ews (May 29, 1970) has not aroused a single response. Hence, assistance was solicited from many persons interested in medical history and two of them supplied clues which, although helpful, did not solve the mystery. Dr. Leslie B. Arey, past Supreme Archon, Phi Beta Pi, suggested that Dr. Chauncey D. Leake, San Francisco Medical Center, might know something about H.L.O.E. because of his interest in Kappa Lambda at an earlier date.l Dr. A.H.T.

Leake, in a personal communication, agreed that since the students formed Hallerian Lodge No.6 there must have been some sort of national organization involved. He suggested that perhaps the Hallerian Lodges were continuations of the old Kappa Lambda Society. According to van Antwerp; Dr. Edward Cut bush in 1825 was president of the Kappa Lambda Society of the District of Columbia. This is an important connection because ten years later (1835) Cut bush was to become the first dean of the medical faculty of Geneva College, NC\\ York. Cutbush's principal biographer. Captain F. L. Pleadwell. studied some of his papers which indicated that he was the first president of the Washington branch of the Kappa Lambda.a In addition. there was the oath of the Kappa Lambda Association as recorded by Cutbush which reads as follows: You do swear. that you wd/ ondeovour lo accomplish the objrcts of th1s SOt;lcty, b}' cmp/oym~ }'OUr abilities in rdit•vm~ the suffenngs of the Sick. and by exolllng tht•d- SUMMER, 1976 39 �medtca/ proft:sston. bv a ltfe of Vtrtue and Honour: that you will by every fatr and honourable means, advance the tntcrcsts and reputat1on of this Soc1etr and of each of 11s members. and that you w1ll kf·ep falthfullr all the Secretscommtlled to }'OU b} th1s Soctctr. or hr o~\·of lis member~.

There is good agreement between this oath and the original oath studied by van lngen.q The copy of the original draft of the oath which was reproduced by van lngen contains 15 shorthand signs, dashes, and groups of squares. Van Jngen did an amazingly good job with the interpretation of these symbols, because according to Cut bush's copy of the oath, the arrangement of nine squares (3 x 3) really stands for "Society." Both the small and large single squares were used to mean "you" and "member." There are some minor differences between the two oaths, viz., Cutbush said "sick" and van lngen interpreted I he sign to mean "poor." At any rate the text of the oath is certainly of a higher caliber and character than the one published by Leake as the one acknowledged for the New York Society. In the epilogue of Haney Cushing's address at the Centenary Celebration of the College of Medicine of Syracuse University, 10 he conjured up the formation of a special Valhalla Society for the peripatetic medical teachers of the past century or more. At one of their meetings the Curator of the Valhalla Library called attention to a precious document written by Dean Edward Cutbush. 11 Cushing paraphrased some of Cut bush's remarks at the opening of the Geneva Medical College, 10 February 1835. The original quotation reads: Permit me to advrsc you, gcnt/r•men. to form a medical associotton 1n Geneva for mutual tmprovenwnt, ond t•ndeovor to emulate the literary character of ht:r namesake in Swtt7.t,rlond: sparks of truth muy be kindled by the collis1on of ~emus.

It is interesting to note that Cutbush did not mention Kappa Lambda. Whether the students at Geneva Medical College ever formed such a society is not presently known but there is a strong suspicion that they did. According to Or. Robert E. Doran, Chairman of Board of Trustees. Hobart and Wtlliam Smith Colleges. John D. Hill was a student at Gene\ a Medical College from October 1847 through January 1848. Thtrty-four days after he arrived in Buffalo, he helped form Hallerian Lodge No.6. lt could not have been a continuation of Kappa Lambda because according to van Ingen, the latter did not cease to exist until1862 in New York City. Hill was a self-reliant, religious, temperate, and moral person who would not have condoned or participated in the creation of a disreputable secret medical society. The oath for the H.L.O.E. is not now knO\.\'n, but it would nol have been out of character for Hill to have addressed the initiates in the words of Dean Cutbush: 40 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The.!!!!£ diJ~nrtv of the mcd1cal profession must be maw tawed b}· supcnor lt·arnrnl! and obll111Cs, by llb··rallty of conduct. br openness and conoor. 1\'llhour condescending 10 mean ort1(1ces. wh~eh ore too often adopted to obtorn business or a false reputat•on.

M.D. Professor of Neurosurgery T he Republic of Singapore encompasses a main island and several smaller ones. It is about 225.6 square miles in area. The island of Singapore is 26 miles long and 24 miles wide wilh a causway across the Straits of Johore connecting it to the Malayasian peninsula. The cily. covering an area of 37 square miles. is located in the southern part of the main island. Following an agreement in 1819 between Sir Stamford Raffles and the Sultan of Malaysia. modern Singapore was founded as a trading post for the British East India Company. Full sovereignty for the island was granted it in 1824. And 41 years later it became an independent Republic. Because Singapore is 85 miles north of the equator, its climate is tropical. Temperatures average about 85 degrees with 90 percent humidity. Because of its climate. the island is a constant profusion of flowers and colors. Of its 2.3 million population. 76 percent are Chinese. 15 percent Malaysians. 7 percent Indians and Pakistanis, and the remaining are Europeans and other nationalities. Although the national language is Malay, English. as the administrative language. is widely used. The international cuisine of the city is not only famous but as varied as its population. II ranges from the exotic at picturesque street venders to exclusive restaurants. Among points of interest: botanical and orchid gardens; Jurong Bird park (1t harbors over 7,500 species of birds); Mount Faber, located within the city, not only allows a splendid panorama of Singapore but of Malaysia and the nearby Indonesian Islands; the Zoo; Kranji War Memorial; and temples. The symbol of Singapore is the "merlion." The body of a fish and the head of a lion greets visitors at the waterfront. An excursion trip on a junk through the harbor is a unique and exciting experience. Hundreds of fishing boats of various types /sizes bustle among the myriad of foreign freighters. The harbor, the fourth busiest in the world, is an important economic resource. Our hosts and families who were gracious and extremely hospitable, made our stay in Singapore most pleasant. The hospital is about a 15-minute drive from the hotel. A personal car provided by host, Dr. C. F. Tham, solved my transportation problem. The traffic in Singapore was very erratic, to say the least. Because streets are crowded with all types of vehicles. especially motorcycles, I limited my driving between the hospital and the hotel. Travel anywhere else in the c1ty was cheaper and more relaxing by taxi. The Tan Tock Seng Hospital is part of a former tuberculosis hospitaL Although the building is old, it is clean and airy including its large wards. In addition to the medical service. the hospital hosts the specialties of neuroscience and cardiac surgery. It is part of the Unhersity complex, most of which is located in Singapore General Hospital. The neurosurgical unit. in its current setup. is but 3 112 years old. A well planned physical layout. operating theaters. neuroradiological rooms, offices, wards, conference rooms are located on one floor. The unit includes both neurosurgery and neurology. with 135 beds plus eight others in the intensive care unit. Dr. C/asauer The author spent three months of his sabbatical leave as a visiting consultant in neurosurgery at the Ton Tock Seng Hosp1talm Singapore The v1sit was sponsored and arranged by the Foundation for International Education in Neurological Surgery. 42 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Typical houses on Sumatra ln the well-equipped neuroradiological rooms that are also part of the department, routine studies of good quality are produced with tomograms and subtraction films. AJl neuroradiological procedures are performed by the neuroradiologist vvith arteriography and air studies routinely performed under general anesthesia. To assist in the diagnostic workup and care of patients is a neurology surgical resident and an intern. As a participant in the "oncall"schedule, patients admitted on that day or weekend became my responsibility. Although we were always busy, the pace in the "relaxed atmosphere" lacked tensions, pressures frequently encountered elsewhere. Because my visit coincided with vacation period at the Medical School we had no medical students. The teaching schedule included daily rounds with assigned housestaff. Twice a week ward rounds were attended by the entire neurology-neurosurgery staff, head nurses, and supervisors on wards where Xrays of particular problem cases were reviewed and their management discussed. The neuroradiologist participated in the Balinese dancers lts full-time staff of three neurosurgeons and two neurologists serve a population of 2.3 million Singaporeans and a considerable number of referrals from adjacent Malaysia and Indonesia. Dr. C. F. Tham is head of the department of neurosurgery and neurology. The two operating rooms are spacious, well-equipped and lack few instruments. As part of the neurosurgical unit, they are shared one day a week with the orthopedic service. Operative microscopes and necessary instruments are available for microneurosurgery. The surgical schedule allows four full days for neurosurgery. Operating room staff is under the direction of neurosurgery. Although anesthesiologists assigned on a daily rotation are quite competent and accommodating, they are short-staffed.

While my series of lectures to Tan Tock Seng Hospital staff emphasized neurosurgery and neurology, they also revived an interest in echoencephalography to evaluate trauma, tumors and for intraoperative probing. My special interest was to compare the differences in neu•·osurgical material here, in Buffalo, and during my previous experience in Rhodesia. Much of the surgery performed were craniotomies.

Freely used are cerebrospinal fluidshunting procedures for decompression of the ventricular system prior to craniotomy for large tumors and in patients in general poor health.

Benign lesions such as meningiomas and pituitary adenomas exceeded malignant ones, although at times they reached immense dimensions Pituitary tumors are seen in much younger-a~e groups than is usually seen here. Among other prevalent tumors are acoustic neurinomas, astrocytomas. and pinealomas. Intracerebral abscesses are also common. Vascular malformations and aneurysms are frequently encountered with an increasmg proportion of vascular malformations to aneurysms. in arteriovenous malformation the presenting symptom is more often repeat hemorrhages than customary seizures or other neurological symptoms.

Dr. Tourbaf is convinced of the need for each patient referred to the Center to be carefully evaluated by the team - physician, dentist, nurse. orthopedic consultant. coagulation technologist, physical therapist or other specialists as needed. "Good correlation exists between the level of clotting factor and the severity of the disease. It is important, therefore, that each patient be diagnosed accurately as early as possible since mild, moderate or severe forms of this disease do occur," he said. After the evaluation has been made, the patient is followed by the Center and his own physician very closely. Noting what happens when proper treatment is not received by a patient Dr. Tourbaf reviewed the typical problem of the recurrent bleeding into joints and tissues associated with swelling and intense pain. This leads to destruction of the patient's joints and he becomes crippled by his own blood. Because the Center is open "round-theclock,'' patients with bleeding problems need Hemophilia Center Even Chr1sly enjoys Cenler as her brother receives lrans(usron. The Hemophilia Center of Western New York, Inc., based at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. is wel1 equipped to provide excellent treatment and consultation to people who suffer from hemophilia or other coagulation disorders. To the over 90 Hemophiliacs who are treated at the Center on an outpatient basis, life has taken on a new meaning. Because hemophilia is a predominantly sex-linked recessive disorder of coagulation, most pat1ents are males. Long known as The Ro~al Disease, it occurs among all races. With the average annual cost of treating a pahent \\'ilh a severe form of this disease about $10,000, the hemophiliac imposes a significant financial burden for families or third parties. Dr. Kamal Tourbaf, the Center's Medical Director and clinical associate professor of medicine, initiated a multidisciplinar} treatment approach six years ago and all signs indicate that the program has enjoyed a successful progression. THE BUFFALO PHYS£CIAN �Dr. T . Papademt,lnou. orthopedic consultant. reviews Xroys on pat1ent w1th some team members. only call to alert Center staff of their arrival. "Someone will be waiting in the Center," Dr. Tourbaf explained. '"Then treatment replacement of the missing clotting factor- is but a matter of minutes." New treatment methods are helping to reduce both the number and severity of bleeds in muscles and joints, which are the cause of considerable physical disabilities suffered by hemophiliacs, according to Dr. Theodore Papademetriou, the Center's orthopaedic consultant and clinical professor of orthopaedic surgery. Musculoskeletal bleeds are treated initially with prompt intravenous administration of the missing clotting factor and immobilization of the extremity, in order to control bleeding and reduce pain. This is followed by a program of physical therapy to regain motion in the joints and strengthen the muscles. It is this restoration to normal function that protects the patient from further bleeding and the crippling deformities. The older method of treating bleeding joints, that of special bracing, is very rarely used today. Aggressive methods to build stronger muscles through exercises and recreational activities enable patients to discard any type of permanent bracing. SUMMER, 1976 "Smce the ne\'\' clotting factor concentrates became available we have entered a new era whereby safe surgery can be performed on hemophiliacs. Open treatment of fractures as well as reconstructive orthopedic procedures in muscles, bones and joints (tendon lengthening, osteotomy to realign reformed extremities, arthrotomy, arthrodesis and arthroplasties including total hip replace, ment) have been successfully performed on our pat1ents resulting in improvement of function,'' Dr. Papademetriou said. These methods of treatment have provided a fuller and more productive life for adult hemophiliacs, who can work at their jobs and be contributing members of our society. As far as children who were often confined to hospitals resulting in the loss of school, this is no longer true. The psychological uplift produced by transfusion at the Center or at home and being able to participate in recreational athletics and go to summer camp helps young hemophiliacs physically as well as psychologically, Dr. Papademetriou pointed out. Reiterating the Center goal of treating as many patients on an out-patient basis as possible, Center executive director Shirley A. Southard, R.N. pointed to some who have been trained to transfuse themselves at home. Instructed on what lo do when they do bleed, "they need only remove cryoprecipitate that is dAs Dr Tourbaf chats with patienr.laboratory technologist Dick Derr helps with transfusion 47 �those with coagulation disorders and their need to avoid trauma." She warned that for those with serious forms of this disorder. emotional types of experience can lead to spontaneous bleeding. The Hemophilia Center plays a significant role in screening patients with coagulation problems in the community. Investigations have been completed on more than 250 patients, with a variety of coagulation problems, who were referred by physicians, dentists and other health professionals. teornrn~ about coagulatiOn d1sorders from Dr. Tourbof ore senior Oilv10 Smith. juniors Jar Brach(eld.

It saves time, money and is less disruptive in social/educational pursuits. The patient is able to lead a more normal life, she continued. Others are educated as well. Trained nurses visit the families of patients, schools, hospitals, other health professions. "We want to make them aware of the problems faced by Nurse Linda Adler rnfuses potJenl.

These residents are given an orientation by Dr. Tourbaf and other members of the staff. When on call, they evaluate the patient. administer transfusions, and provide other medical services as needed. 48 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Genetic counseling is offered through Dr. Robin Bannerman who heads a medical genetics team. Under the professor of medicine and professor of pedia tries' guidance. there has been a study of family histories of those with coagulation problems. Dr. Bannerman also chairs the Center's med1cal and scientific advisory committee. Amniocentesis, a viable way to detect the sex of unborn children, plays a significant role in genetic counseling. If a mother is known to be a carrier and the fetus is male, the chances are fifty percent that it will inherit the disease. But if the fetus is a female. there is a like chance of its being born a carrier. As a treatment center in Western New York. the Hemophilia Center has been ranked among the best in the country. It is here where patients are being helped with their variety of problems - education, vocation /professional training, employment. psychological adjustment, rehabilitation, finance - and where they and their families learn how to handle the medical /dental problems of a patient with a coagulation disorder. a Slur/ey A Soulhard.

The total r:onlributions from the Class Reunion netted $30.430. As you will sec in this issue of tht• Buffalo Physician. these funds were used to purchase various items of audiovisual equipment which \\ill enhance our capctcities in medical student and continuing medical education. In ordt•r to complete our development in these areas. we h.l\'c asked this year's Class Reunion Chairmen to solicit support for addit ionul projects that will bring our capabilities to a par with other lc<Jding Schools of Medicine in the United States. These projects will be described elsewhere. The Century Club campaign resulted in contributions of $65.499.40 from 524 contributors. These funds will be used in a judicious manner to help support our eduoationalt•fforts. Obviously. a Dean need not dwell on the requirement for such funds to improve the quulity and magnitude of a medical school's programs. The fact 1s that in the immediate future more emphasis on fund raising from the privnte sector will be required. This situation arises because inflation, recession, withdrawal of federal support for medical stuuent education, and the fiscal crisis m ~ew York State all combine to limit the governmental support a\ aJlable for the operation of medical schools. There is little doubt that in the days of plenty. the need for contributions by the private sector was not great. Howevex. that situation no longer pertains. It will no longer be possible. at least through the next generation. for any School of Medicine. private or state. to sustain itself on a single or limited source of funding. Rather. every school will participate in some form of federal-state-private partnership. Therefore, 1 encourage each of you to become acquainted with the changing patterns of funding medical education, and urge you to join in that partnership by making annual contributions to the Century Club campaign a regular part of your life style. Sincerely, John Noughlon. M.O.

Dr. Harold f. l,cvy, ,\1'46 �The pursuit of an M.D. degree has always been a somewhat complicated and stressful endeavor for the American student. but in today's world we now witness new developments which confront medical students. There has been expansion in both the academic routes vvhich have been made available and in the costs which must be incurred by the student. Many American students who have been unable to gain entry into an American medical school have been successful in their application to various foreign medical schools but heretofore less successful in gaining re-entry into the American Medical Delivery System. In this regard, new academic programs which have been devised have been recently sponsored by SUNY AB. New. terms, such as Fifth Pathway. Eighth Semester, and COTRANS have entered our curricular vocabulary. To some academicians these terms continue to engender strong emotional reaction but they represent a new option to the student-phystcian in pursuit of his goal. Nevertheless, "e are advised that the cost of this pathway to the U.S. foreign student is in the neighborhood of $10,000 per year. An introductory discussion of SUNYA B's effort in this program was presented in the most recent issue of The Buffalo Physician. Students in American Medical Schools have witnessed the dilemma presented by a constantly changing curriculum wherein the option for elective time has encompassed nearly 50% of the training program. They have also experienced the steadily rising inflationary costs of a medical education. but it was not until therecent announcement of the proposal by the State Board of Regents for a change in fundmg of rpedical schools that they were seriously confronted by a cost factor which threatened in some instances to approach the figure described above for the U.S. foreign medical st udenl. This proposal recommends a $10 million dollar decrease in funding for SUNY Medical Schools and a 0.5 million dollar increase for private medical schools. ll also suggests that the State and Federal Governments and the students each pay one-third the cost per student for a medical education. Needless to say. the students do not favor the Regents' proposal and describe it as reflecting, "the aims of an elite, bureaucratic agency and an indiscriminate, financially troubled State." There has been no guarantee of student loans. Nor has there been apparent compensation for decreased Federal funding and we support the students' concern and recommendation for careful sl udy of the Regents' proposal and Task Force Report by the Slate Legislature. Herein, you can discern I hat it continues to be no easy matter to seek the wild caduceus and the Medical Alumni are urged to become conversant with the foregoing issues and to support the medical students of today in pursuit of their goal.

Jr.. has been named professor and chairman of the department of pharmacology and therapeutics and professor of medicine. He comes to Buffalo from the Uni,·ersity of Louis\'ille School of Medicine where he was professor and chairman of the department of pharmacology since 1974. Dr. Carr did his undergraduate work at Brown Uni\ ersi ty and received his medical degree from the Harvard Medical School in 1945. He interned at the Rhode Island Hospital and was a JUnior resident in internal medicine at the Cushing V.A. Hospital in Framingham. Massachusetts. During the 1948-49 year he was a research fellO\·\ and during 1949-51 an instructor in pharmacology at the Harvard Med1cal School. ln 1951-52 Dr. Carr was a resident in internal medicine at the Pennsylvania Hospital and the following year he was Thomas McCrae Exchange Fellow at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London. Professor Carr was at the University of Michigan Medical School from 1953 to 1974. From 1966 to 1974 he was director of the Upjohn Center for Clinical Pharmacology at Michigan. During the summer of 1973 he was an honorary visiting professor in the department of medicine, Prince Henry and Prince of Wales Hospitals in S~ dney. Australia. Dr. Carr IS a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine and ser\'ed "1th the U.S. Army Medical Corps from 194647 as well as in the U.S Navy Medical Corps in 1954-56. He has been a consultant to several state and national commissions. associations. and institutes. Last year Dr. Carr was president of the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. He has also been an officer in other professional societies at the national. regional. and state levels. Professor Carr is the author of two books and has co-authored chapters in four others. He has also authored or co-authored 127 articles in professional journals. In addition to studies on the pharmacology of radioactive compounds used in clinical medicine, he has a keen interest in all aspects of clinical pharmacology. He sees department emphasis on both education and research. not only in response to a public that wants their prescribers of drugs-physicians and dentists-kept up-to-date on current advances in the field, but for the clinician, who usually responds well to programs that will help upgrade his knowledge of drugs. Or. Carr sees the need for some kind of education on the use and abuse of drugs for every University student. "We all live in a chemical society." he says. And he recognizes the necessity of teaching clinical pharmacology in addition to basic pharmacology to professionals \' ia the introduction of drug rounds and therapy conferences. Allhovgh manpower and time is the big problem, he is committed to "trying to make a start in this direction." Department research? The list of problems and opportunities is so great at the present time that pharmacology is faced with the question of finding enough people, time and funds to do all the resear·ch that needs to be done. Therefore the present departmental research efforts should be strongly encouraged and new personnel should be added to expand the program. o SPRING 1976 9 Dr. Edward A. Carr, Jr. Dr. Carr �Dr. Glosouer Neurosurgery in Rhodesi a by Franz E. Glasauer, M.D. Professor of Neurosurgery nhodnsiCJ. a landlocked country with an area of 150.800 square miles, is the size of California. Most of it lies on a plateau of about 4,000 feet. The north and south of the country have nat ural boundaries in the Zambezi and the Limpopo Rivers. Of the total population of about 6.1 million, 5.8 million are Africans, about 270.000 are Europeans, and the small remainder is Colored and Asians. Most of the African population live on tr1bal trust lands. Economically the country depends on agriculture, light industry, and mining. Although the country has a rainy and dry season, during our stay the climate was almost ideal with dry. sunny days and cool evenings. This VISit, during the first three months of 1975, wos port of a Sabbatical Leave. It was sponsored and arranged by the Foundation for JntcrnatJonal EducatiOn in Neurosurgical Surgery. 10 All the schools and hospitals in Rhodesia are segregated except for the Umversity. Although opportunities for Afrtcans theoretically exist in a "competitive system," they are still at a disadvantage due to hmils on achievement, educalion, and especially income. Salisbury, the capital of Rhodesia. is a comparali'vely small city with a population of 534,000. Vibrant with color from the flowering trees and shrubs, one is immediately impressed with the city's cleanliness. The Godfrey Huggins Medical School of the University of Rhodesia is located in Salisbury and centers on the Harari Central Hospital. The Medical School graduates between 35-40 students yearly. 1 received a temporary appointment at the University as senior lecturer in surgery and obtained a provisional medical license by the Medical Council of Rhodesia. The university campus is located in the north of the city and housing for visiting and temporary faculty is available on campus. The Harari Central Hospital, a 1.000 bed institution that is located in the southwest seclion of the city. is supported by the Government and serves only Africans. The majority of its nursing staff is also African. The building is for the most part clean and atry. There are no private rooms and patients are placed in large wards of about 30-36 beds each. The other hospital complex in Salisbury contains the European Hospital, the old hospital, an infectious disease building, and the Hospital for the Colored. Aside from these two major hospital complexes. only a few additional nursing homes are in the city. \'1t.lor10 ,..oils �"-anbo Dam The two neurosurgeons in Salisbury serve the entire country. Dr. Lawrence F. Levy is professor and chairman of the department of surgery and is primarily responsible for the Harari Central Hospital. Or. C. Auchterlonie works mainly at the European hospital and assists in Harari Hospital's outpatient clinic and surgery. One neurosurgeon travels at intervals to Bulawayo. the next largest city in southern Rhodesia, to review neurosurgical material\'\ hich for the greater part has already been studied and diagnosed by Dr. I. Rachman . He is the only neurologist in the country. After consultation patients are then transferred to Salisbury for surgery. The remaining neurosurgical material is referred directly from outlying small government hospitals and clinics all over the country. Since there is no neurosurgeon in the neighboring country of Malawi, once a month one of the neurosurgeons flies toils capital. Blantyre. to see pattents and to perform the necessary surgery. During my stay I was placed in charge of the neurosurgical sen·ice at Harari Central Hospital. The service consisted of 55 beds includtng 10-15 pediatric beds. I had one surgical resident ~nd l\\O housemen (interns) assigned to the service. Two students rotated through the service for a two-"eek period during which time they \vere encouraged to participate in operations and in diagnostic \\Orkup t~nd patient care on the ward. Patient care was carried out efficiently and satisfactorily by the African nursing staff. Since there was no neurologist, all neurological and neurological-infectious con- SPRING. 1976 sultations were included in the neurosurgical practice. About 25 patients were seen and evaluated in the weeki~ neurosurgtcal outpatient clinic. The Radiology Department was run by the chief technician since there was no full-lime radiologist. All neuroradiological procedures such as arteriography. pneumoencephalography. and the fluoroscopy for myelograph~ were carried out by the neurosurgical staff. Arteriography was routinely performed under general anesthesia. A transportable Carm ima~w intensifier was available and proved very useful espe<.iolly in the operating room. Isotope brain scans were reserved ror selective cases and had to be scheduled a week in advance due to a limited amount of isotopes. An echoencephalography machine. "the midliner," was kept on the neurosurgical ward and used extensh ely for diagnosis and follow up of pattents. The operating rooms were equipped ...vith basic instrumentation and the neurosurgical instruments were adequate. There were no power instruments. The limitation in operating time was due to a shortage of anesthesiologists. As in many other countries there are no nurse anesthetists. While strict sterile techniques in the operating rooms and operating areas \\ere observed. the operations were carried out with the unscreened windows open. t-.1uch to m~ amazement. the postoperattve infection rate was minimal. I participated in the rotation of night calls and weekend coverage. The service activities included daily ward rounds and neurosurgical consultations. On Saturday mornings grand rounds were conducted by the entire surgical department to benefit residents. interns. and medical students. There. interesting cases of an~ specially were presented and discussed and al the weekly X-ray Conference neuroradiological procedures and interesting cases were reviewed. A brain-cutting session was held once a month to revie\'- the pathological material which included cases from the European Hospital. In addition to my heav~ clinical and surgical responsibilities. I conducted a weekly tutorial in neurosurgery for a group of 12 students which was part of their general surgery. 1 also lectured to the sixth-year class of the Medic.al School and to the staff at Harari Hospital. Ouring my short period there. I performed 66 operations and 46 neuroradiologicald11 �Dr. Glusoucr ot Z1mbobwe Ruw~ procedures. In 1974, 752 neurosurgical operations were performed (569 at Harari Central Hospital and 183 operations at European Hospital) . The African people still belteve that ancestral spirits or spells cast by the living are responsible for illness. Therefore many patients visit their ''nganga" (herbalist or \\ilch doctor) before coming lo the hospital. l n many cases they arrive in an advanced state of their disease. The ''nganga" is more a general practitioner to the local population and, as a religious mentor, he seeks out evil spirits and interprets t heir wishes. Difficulty in arrangement and payment for transportation as well as great travel distance may also add to a patient's late arrh·al at the hospital and it is not unusual for a sick woman to bring her infant with her or for a mother to spend most of the day in the infants' ward to nurse her bab}. Consent for surgery is not always a family decision. Quite frequently tl is a matter of tribal decision that sometimes results in a patient being taken out of the hospital without surgery. For similar reasons and superstition it is difficult to obtain autopsy permission. This is especially so in adults, \Vith slightly better chances in cases of infants. A It h o u g h t h e .,..,. h o I e g a m u t o f neurosurgical diseases exists, certain dtfferences are obvious. I n the African populo- 12 lion cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations are very rare and brain tumors in general occur less than among the European population. Tuberculomas comprise 19 per cent of the space-taking lesions while epilepsy from brain scarring remains a problem. A mortality rate of 33 per cent is still associated with these lesions. Brain abscess is a frequent occurrence and is usually treated by drainage through a burr hole. Subdural abscess is also quit e common and carries a high mortality. Treatment consists of drainage through multiple burr holes. There is frequently no history of prior infection and the reason for its increasing incidence remains unknown. About one-third of the neurosurgical material is cranial and spinal trauma due to traffic accidents or crimes of violence and the incidence of subdural hematoma in patients t~dmitted with head injuries is astonishingly high. Echoencephalography is helpful in diagnosing and evaluating these patients. Epidural hematomas are also frequently encountered and more often are of venous than arterial origin Depressed skull fractures without obvious dural or cortical laceration are handled by debridement and primary closure of I he scalp. Elevation of the depressed fracture is carried out later as an elective procedure to fit into the heavy operatmg schedule. Ron• Wh1te Rhino and bohr THE BUFFALO PHYS ICIAN �Rock paintings nl Oomboshovo The incidence of spinal cord tumors is higher among Africans than in Europeans and neurofibromas greatly outnumber meningiomas. Among metastatic tumors to the spine are lymphosarcomas. carcinomas with unknown primary site. thyroid carcinoma, and myeloma. In addition to tumors, granulomas of the epidural space are encountered causing spinal cord compression. Localized arachnoiditis constricting the spinal cord or nerve roots is a not her ·frequent entity of obscure etiology. Pott's disease as a cause of paraplegia is quite common. The treatment consists of antituberculous drugs for about three weeks to sterilize the diseased area followed by surgical decompression oft he spinal cord and fusion of the spine by em anterolateral. transthoracic or anterior cervical approach. This combined active approach to tuberculosis of the spine has shown gratifying results and offers the best chance for complete recovery. An unusual fracture of the cervical spine that is occasionally seen IS Porter's neck. The injury. which involves a combination of flexion and rotation. occurs while the patient carries a heavy load on the head which is a 'vvidespread practice in Africa. Herniated intervertebral disc is extremely uncommon in Africans and only 21 discs were removed in the last nine years. However, when afflicted. these pal ients present with extremely severe symptoms. SPRING, 1976 There is no rehabilitation institute for spinal cord injuries and physiotherapists have very limited facilities. Despite de,·oted nursing care. these unfortunate patients invariably developed bed sores. These \vere usually treated by skin grafts and supportive therapy. In some. bilateral mid-thigh amputations were performed so as to facilitate some type of mobilit~ and wheelchair ambulation. Due to the lack of proper hygiene and accommodations, their future is limited when they ret urn to their villages. Much of the purely medical treatment has been in vain. And in spite of strenuous eHorts to help them in the hospital it has not produced asocial solution to their problems. Although tropical diseases and parasitic infections of the central nervous system occur. I did not encounter any while on service. And there was cysticercosis paraplegia due to bilharzia, and cerebral malaria. Although leprosy is uncommon in Rhodesia I encountered several patients \.\llh nodules of the ulnar and radial nerves that required lysis or transposition. Cerebral vascular disease is extremely rare in Afr1cans and its explanation may be found in their dietary habits. In a rural man's daily diet averaging just over 1900 calories only 15 per cent is derived from fat. This compares to a 2500 calorie European diet that is 3540 per cent fat-derived. d- A I}' PI CCII rural village 13 �-----------.. --- o\1010 Street. Solisbur}' Subarachnoid hemorrhage without a demonstrable lesion is encountered while trigeminal neuralgia and Parkmson's disease are rare. and procedures for pain in the African patient uncommon. There are also congenital defects such as hydrocephalus and myelomeningocele, and because valve regulated shunts are not easily available, even regular plastic catheters become prized commodities. Even if these children were surgically treated, their postoperative care in a home environment and close followup is difficult. Long-term results of the treatment were disappointing, with a 60 per cent mortality. My wife. a registered nurse, participated in a research project on bilharzia conducted by the Biochemistr~ Department of the Uni\'ersity. The research group went to various farms to examine African children for bilharzia and to institute drug therapy and laboratory studies, prior to and during the study evaluated success of treatment. The results appeared encouraging considering that 70 per cent of the African population is infested with this disease. In addition to interesting work, it gave her an opportunity for close contact with Africans in their own environment. One would be amiss not to mention some points of interest in this spectacularly beautiful country. Just outside of Salisbury is Lake Macllwain, a favorite resort for sailing and fishing, and the adjacent small nature park. Also near the city are several wellpreserved rock paintings. Some of the best Horori Central Hospllal ' -.""' ..(' Two zebras known are at Dombashava. And the mountainous Eastern Highlands. bordering on Mozambique. are breathtakingly beautiful. Of great interest was our visit to the Zimbabwe rums which are still a great mystery as to origin and purpose and a subject of great archeological controversy. It is estimated that the structure was built in the 15th century and Phoenicians may have been among its originators. 14 THE BUFFALO PHYS ICIAN �Close by is beautiful Lake Kyle with a natural park that harbors a great assortment of wild animals. especially \\'hile rhinos. Lhing in this part of Africa one cannot miss the site of enormous and spectacular Victoria Falls. The Zambezi Ri .. er in its entire width of 5.000 feet or 1.700 meters. plunges down 300 feet into a gorge. The site has remained unspoiled in its nat ural environment. Along the southern border of the country is its largest animal preserve. the Wanke National Park. Famous Lake Kariba, located in the northeast of the country, is a huge man-made Jake created by damming the mighty Zambezi River and covers a 2,000 square mile area. The Kariba Dam (2,000 feet long and 420 feet high) required many years to build. Its interesting history required resettlement of native African tribes and relocation of wild life before flooding the area. Kariba Dam, a great technical feat. is the second largest project of its type in the world. and is an awesome sight to behold. o Dr. Glosouur I\ 11h nt•urosurgu.:ol learn.

The article is illustrated and lists the materials needed for the special platform. ln the same journal (:--.ovember 1973) Or. Stell has written about making duplicate slides with an enlarger. He has been using I his technique successfully since 1967. ln another PSA Journal article (May 1975) he tells how he built a multiple flash head that will support a camera with bellows attachments and two electronic flash units. Or. Stell wrote about his Photo Slide Rule in the Colour Photographic Association Journal of Canada (May 1972). He illustrates with charts how the slide rule that he built works quickly and efficiently. Or. Stell has t•etired and is now Living in Sun City, Arizona (16029 Meadov. Purk Drive). o SPRING. 1976 15 �-electrooculograms (EOG}-to detect malfunctions of the pigment epithelial layer of the eye. -visual field tests-to uncover defects in the function of the retina's peripheral parts about which the patient may be unaware. -saccadic velocity tests-to determine whether any of an eye's six muscles are either weak or paralyzed. -color\ ision tests-to help unravel optic nerve and macular problems. Soon to be added, reports Center Director, Dr. Richard Srebro, are brain wave studies. In these studies of the visual cortex, the young 40-year-old associate professor of physiology feels it may be possible to determine how well the neural pathways from eye to brain are vvorking. For Dr Srebro. establishing the Center was a natural outgrowth of his long-standing interest in retinal physiology. And the jump. from basic research to its clinical application, a timely one. For, he notes. "we are just now \\ htlll palwnt's ht.'Od 1~ held stead~ b~·chw rest.

With uegenerati\'e diseases of I he retina accounting for 35 percent of blindness in this country and macula degeneration an increasingly serious problem in our aging population, the need to understand how the retina works and to pinpoint what goes wrong with it increases. And new and improved techniques to detect how well it is functioning are being developed. Among the battery of testing procedures now available in E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital's department of ophthalmology: -electroretinograms (ERG)-to determine abnormal retinal function by electricul means. 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �' J pigment epithelium involvement. with some cases exhibiting accumulation of calcium oxalate. i\otes Dr. Srebro. "this raises the possrbrlity that at least some patrents with this syndrome may have an enzymatic defect." But regardless of its etiology. he feels that the hereditary pattern provides information for genetic counseling. At limes he finds that a test other than the EOG may provide the key finding, as in Retinitis Pigmentosa where the ERG is very useful. and in macular degeneration, where color vision abnormalities may be an early sign. Presurgical evaluation of some patients may often be made through one or more tests. For those \'l.·hose dense cataracts do not permit the retina to be seen. there is evaluation of retinal integrity as \Veil as pigment epithelium through both ERG and EOG. And patients with corneal scars who are candidates for corneal transplants may .tlso be e\·aluated in this way. d- Dorolh\' 8cchlold, lcchmCJon, places contact lens for ERG conlocl inlo each C}C· fJorolhy Rechlold sludu s Poluro1d rPcord of eleclncol oc· ol bonk of clcctronrcs that control light s11mu/ored, cnnrrolled and appl1ed !lVII}' of rr.110o beginning to understand what the different waves of an electroretinogram may mean and to be able to monitor the performance of a single cell layer in the eye by means of the electrooculogram.'' Research findings made in the laboratory now serve as the basis for some of the testing procedures underway in the Center. In the first member of a family recently studied at the Center, macular degeneration and much reduced visual acuity were observed in the teenage boy. Examination suggested abnormalities of the pigment epithelial cells of the retina. This finding led Dr Srebro to suspect that other family members may have similar problems. This was found to bel he case in two other siblings. While their ERG's were normal. their EOG's were not. "This points up the need for more than one test to evaluate difficult problems.'' he said. The diagnosis of "flecked retina syndrome.'' n hereditary disense, was confirmed. And although its cause remains unclear and there is no treatment as yet, studies do point to SPRING. 1976 �Rcsulcnl Dr Roger Simon uses indirect oph1holmo10copc lo CXOmlnC the fundus. Points out Dr. Srebro, the ERG and EOG tests depend on the amount of light that reaches the retina. "These conditions do not usually seriously reduce the amount of light." he continued. "Rather. they scramble the image." Here. as well as at other research centers. such met hods are now being developed and applied to patient evaluation. At the Center that is open five full and one half days a week. about se\ en patients (all are referred) are being tested and diagnosed weekly.

With development of even better testing techniques, he looks for improved ways to measure color \'ision anomalies; the speed at which patients adjust to darkness that is an early but subtle sign of several retinal degenerative diseases; a new type of ERG to selective!~ record macular and foveal changes: and fundus reflectometry to measure changes in a patient's visual pigment. And with development of a computer bank, Dr. Srebro hopes to store data for correlative research studies and to maintain a registry of well-studied patients whose eyes might be obtai ned at time of death. "This would allow the use of modern histochemical techniques .tnd electronmicroscopy to study retinal degenerations of a basic cellular level," he said. But despite the importance of diagnostic tests. Dr. Srebro continues to stress the need for basic research on both retina and visual system. Questioning whether that part of the visual field that in some disease slates is considered blind may retain some function has led to his current interest in eye movements in patients with visual field defects. While information that gets through the retina may not give rise to a perception, he wonders whether it may perhaps be used to control extraoccular movement. With postdoctoral fellow John Martinez and research assistant Virginia Beyer, Dr. Srebro is now trying to define the role that calcium and cyclic nucleotides play in the photoreceptors of animals. For defects in fundamental aspects of photoreceptor physiology may be the root cause of many retinal degenerations. o Class Gift Program The nine Spring Clinical Days reunion classes are participating in a class gift program again this year. The specific projects were developed laking into consideration the equipment needs for the ne'A Education a! Communications Center-Health Sciences. The money will be used to purchase a variety of audio-visual equipment for classroom and self-instructional laboratory use by students. This equipment will support and stimulate new approaches to medical education. It ..,·ill be located in the Education Communications Center-Health Sciences in Farber Hall. Dr. Thomas E. Burford is associate director of the Center. Both Dean John r\aughton and Dr. !\lilford C. Maloney, president of the Medical Alumm Association, ha,·e enthusiastically endorsed the projects for this year's class gift program. Dean Naughton pointed out that with the current budget crunch stale monies are not available to purchase this type of equipment. "If we are to keep medical education at a high level and improve the quality of instruction these are the kinds of audiovisual resources that are needed," he said. ln 1975 the nine reunjon classes collected $30,430 in a special gift campaign. In 1974 the 1949 class gave the Medical School $4,000 through the U t B Foundation. o SPRlNG. 1976 19 �Or Eclword lloht•nseP New Ophthalmology Learning Laboratory 20 Concern for using the limited number of core lectures available to medical students in ophthalmology in the most efficient and compact learning setting has led to a new selflearning laboraton. Here, adjacent to the diagnostic center. Dr. Edward Hohensee, M'54, hopes that medical students will be able to pick up the "how to'' of diagnostic procedures as \\ell as gain familiarity with various types of eye diseases. There are three different models or mannequin heads for students to use. One, notes the chmcal assistant professor of ophthalmology. allows students to use the Schiotz tonometer to measure intra-ocular pressure. While one eye of the mannequin has normal pressure, the other eye has abnormally-high intraocular pressure. A second mannequin can electronicalh be given esotropia, exotropia, esophoria or exophoria by merely changing a dial. Or the dial can be set to ''unknown" thus allowing t he student lo diagnose the type of strabismus. The third mnnnequm. he continues. has interchangeable colored slides allowing the st udentto practice ophthalmoscopy, simulating the technique in a real patient But Dr. Hohensee hopes to build an even larger library. "We want to stimulate tactile and visual senses of the students. to help them to remember the \'a ri ous types of ophthalmological problems they will see in their patient population." he said. o Vr.

He was one of the leaders of the group \.\hich founded the University of Buffalo as a medical school in 1846 and served as its first chancellor, a position he held until he died in 1874. Dr. F. Carter Panni II Jr .. vice president for the Facult~ of Heallh Sciences. discussed President Fillmore's dedication and contributions to the nation, the university and the City of Buffalo. "He was a man [or all seasons whose record is a model for all of us during these modern times." Dr. Pannill also recognized Fillmore's humanitarianism, citing his "conciliatory approach" to the issue of slavery with the enactment of the 1850 Compromise. In addition. "while in the Stale Assembl~, Fillmore sponsored legislation which abolished the jail penally for persons who defaulted on their debts." Fillmore was instrumental in the drafting of the charter of the City of Buffalo and in the improvement of the lake harbor and Erie Canal terminus. The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, the Grosvenor Library, the Society of! at ural Sciences, the Society for the Pre\ention of Cruelty to AnimaJs. the Buffalo Historical Society and the Buffalo Club are all organizations which were founded by :vtillard Fillmore or which prospered under his leadership. o SPRING 1976 25 �Dr. Voltmann's Clinic Dr. Kulowski Retires Good planning and a ""·illingness to try new approaches can help a physician better meet the health-care needs of his community. Dr. John D. Voltmann. M'53. director of the Jamestown. :-Je"' York Medical Clinic, has increased his productivity by 300 to 400 per cent since he founded the clinic in 1970. The reason for his success. according to an article authored by him in the current issue of the Journal of the AMA. is use of new record-keeping and screening methods and nurse practitioners who have become the main "persons of contact" for patients. Dr. Voltmann said the clinic uses ''six full-time equivalent, specially trained and supervised nurse practitioners" who are responsible for taking patient histories. most physical examinations. treatment and patient education. Under this system 50 to 75 per cent of physician tasks have been shifted to the nurse practitioners. "Thus the physician can see 16 lo 24 patients an hour instead of the customary four to six." Dr. Voltmann said. "Each patient is assigned to a nurse practitioner in the clinic, permitting a close relationship between patient and nurse that \\Ould formerly have been patient-physician oriented. Each patient is seen by the physician on each visit. albeit briefly." Dr. Voltmann concluded. o "There has been a major change in relations between doctors and the public in the last half century." Or. jacob Kulow ski, M'25. of St. Joseph. Missouri made this observation when he retired last June. Another change the veteran physician and surgeon noted is more paramedical people now involved in medicine. "This is fine because doctors cannot be expected to handle all of the work. The paramedics are doing a good job," he said. The orthopedic surgeon who for years has been the city's "Mr. Bone Doctor,'' was born in Odessa, Russia and came to the United States with his parents in 1905 at the age of five. After graduating from the U/B Medical School Dr. Kulowski specialized in orthopedics at the Universil~ of Iowa. He came to St. Joseph in September of 1934. His practice has . been continuous with the exception of five years in the Nav~ during and immediately following World War 11. He spent 22 months on duty as senior medical officer on ships in the Pacific and participated in the Solomon Islands campaign. He was later assigned to naval hospitals in Seattle and Bremerton. Washington. This is where he became interested in traffic safety. "1 think traffic accidents have eased in both severity and frequency because of the use of seat belts and other safety devices," Or. Kulowski said. He has authored a book and more than 100 of his articles have been published in scientific journals. o 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Continuing Education Programs Eighteen Continuing Medical Education Programs are scheduled for the next four months. according to Mr. Charles Hall, director of the programs.

Dr Guplo rso/olt·s a receptor Hormone To Regulate Fertility radrorcc~:pror M ucu progress has been reported by Or. Om Bahl on his studies of a hormone to diagnose and regulate fertility. While the professor of biochemistry and director of the division of cell and molecular biology has successfully isolated and analyzed this complex hormone kno ..,·n as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) more than two years ago. his recent im estigations have centered on relating structure to function; isolating purifying uncovering its receptor proteins: and laying the groundwork for development of an antifertility \'accine. Working with Or. Bah) on these studies funded b~ National Institutes of Health grants that annually total a quarter million dollars has been a group of ten postdoctoral fello\,\'S (among them Drs. Sylvta Christakos. M. R. Pandian, R. Ghai. R. Bellisario, R. Carlsen, S. Gupta, and L. Marz}. two graduate students, and three technicians. Some have since left Buffalo. In their investigations on relating hormone structure to function, the researchers used several enzymes to sequentially remove the hormone's carbohydrate units. "We wanted to determine what effect these units hnve on biological activities such as immunologic 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �properties, binding to receptor siles in testes and ovaries, and stimulation oft he enzyme adenyl cyclase and steroidogenesis," Or. Bah! said. Their findings suggest two receptor sites -one for cnch enzyme. If I heir st uclies prove out, the commonly-held theory- cyclic AMP that is produced by adenyl cyclase is the sole messengerwill ha'l:e been refuted. The pinpointing of the precise role that a carbohydrate plays in glycoprotein may \Vel! be another "first" for Dr. Bahl. In uncovering the mechanism of action for hCG. the researchers observed that the hormone does not enter the cell. Rather. that it interacts with a receptor on the cell surface. thereby sllmulating some other biochemical event to transmtt the message. Studies on isolation of the receptor were then begun by the noted investigator. This was accomplished by the use of bovine corporallutea. The receptor \Vast hen purified by labeling for the first time with radioacti' e substances and its properties ''ere studied. Pmnted out Or. Bah!. "we have been able to incorporate the receptor into non-target cells. This should help us determine how the hormone works." The purified receptor was first inserted into an artificial membrane made from lipids which then were incubated with non-target ceils such as lymphocytes. "ll showed us that a receptor could be incorporated into the lymphocyte," Dr. Bah! explained. But whether adenyl cyclase in the lymphocyte is stimulated by the hormone is yet to be determined. During a limited human trial, one of the hormone's subunits, the beta subunit, was found to produce antibody. By neutralizing the hormone hCG. Dr. Ball feels it should prevent pregnancy. To avoid Immunological cross-reactivity with LH or interference with normal physiological function such as the menstrual cycle, modified forms of beta were obtained. Preliminary experiments with rabbits - using these modified hCG beta subunits - have yielded encouraging results. These modified forms are now being tried in monkeys. to be followed by baboons. and finally in humans. The question of reversibility? It has prompted Dr. Bah! to initiate new studies. "We want to know whether this will be a problem," he replied. The use of modified forms of hCG beta subunit leads to earlier detection of pregnancy. In fact. points out Dr. Bahl. in a little under two weeks. o SPRING. 1976 31 Dr. Buhl chccb radrooctn·c iodrnc incorporated rnlo receptor of gonodol roprn. �"Rich" Elman and ",\like'' Wolf(.

From 5 to 6 a.m. seven days a week, inmates receive medical examinations under a program sponsored by the Buffalo Police Department and the School of Medicine. Now in its third year, the program, initiated by Dr. Ralph Landsberg, clinical assistant Professor of Psychiatry, is now being run by sophomore medical students Richard Elman and Michael Wolff. "Rich" and "Mike" had no difficulty in finding enough volunteers. It is an opportunity for sophomores to put their limited knowledge gained through physical diagnosis to clinical use, they explained. "We want to be able to pinpoint those inmates with problems," pointed out Rich, "the diabetic who is in a coma and in need of insulin, the inmate whose slashes need cleaning up, and the one whose drug overdose is confirmed through pupillary constriction or dilatation." 32 THE BUFFALO PHYS ICIAN �Or students may offer just a few minutes of conversation. some cigarettes.

But there is student consensus that ··our most important job is to talk. For there is a lot of subjective judgment on our part." Because there is strong support from the chief of detectives, medical students are able to go from cell to cell, waking up inmates to ensur~> that none is in serious medical difficulty. For "Rich", it has been a fascinating experience. He has been able to pinpoint someone 1n a diabetic coma, another in trauma. "In a sense," he explained, "we are doing something that is medically oriented. And even though our knowledge appears to be minimal, we can take what we do know and apply it clinically, perhaps helping someone out." And it has been a real psycho-social experience for the sophomores "to see the jail and meet its mostly Black-Puerto Ric;m male population." he added. For Mike. the opportunity to help someone in need of attention and ensuring that it is being received is well worth waking up at "such an ungodly hour. We wake everyone up at 5 a.m. to make sure no one is comatose,'' he added While students are able to vie\\.' all varieties of humanity, like "Catch-22," there is a certain amount of helplessness in what they are able to do for inmates. "Some may refuse to go to the hospital." he explained, "for it means that they will miss their arraignment that morning and must spend an extra day in jail." But for all 36 sophomore medical students, the commitment is there. Then' is a positive response from the inmate to a cheery mood. "They feel better," was the conclusion.

The committee planning for a Harrington Lecture thought not. For the schedule of one whose contributions to subcellular structure function interaction among cell membranes had earned for him a Nobel Pri?:e in 1974 is an imposing one. But accept Dr. George Palade did. For it V\ as a studentsponsored lectureship. As the chairman of cell biology at Yale unfolded what he knew of interactions among cell membranes to an overflow audience, he expressed the hope that students were now convinced of the need to learn how membranes are different. how its components <rrP fitted onto it, as well as the interactions among one another. "Perhaps without knowing it, as you try to treat your patients, you are tr} ing to influence the way in which these membranes interact inside I he cell," he said. In reiterating the differences among membranes, their specialized functions and components, he stressed the need for their remo\al in a nonrandom manner. Pointing to procedures now available to free them of contaminants, he said "we now know and have seen difficulties in obtaining them. For in their nonrandom removal. some proteins are left behind." As to why he feels that medical students should be concerned, he pointed to scientific curiOsity, and an interest in "knowing how things \'\ ork inside yourself." In relating problems in current patholog} to important diseases of our time. he went over their connection with protein modification in the cell membrane. "Sooner or later," he said, "we will need to know which proteins maintain a cell within a community and which allow it to escape." No longer recognizing to \'\hom the} belong, neoplastic cells move, they metastasize. 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Drs . l.t:·onord \ 1--otz fohn .\'ou~hton .

It is here where he believes that interaction which plays an important role in regulating a cell's cholesterol metabolism occl.).rs. Another convincing proof he offered for the "pathology of tomorrow" is the number of known neural transmiltors. "In mental disease such as Schizophrenia or in Parkinsonism. there are differences in concentration as well as reaction of cell to corresponding transmiltors," he continued. During an open forum with students, he expressed the hope that they would generate enough interest and pressure from administration for good biomedical research. And while there is money available. he questions its distribution and the role of I he budget that "has become more important than that oft he scientist." The medical curriculum? "We need to introduce some kind of clinical correlation during the first year,""' as his response. He feels there are good examples to clarify visible clinical correlations. such as lysosomes to end stage disease. leukocytes and other diseases. "We must pay more attention to the scientific basis of medicine." He feels the curriculum must provide a well-organized set of courses, "one that will provide a basis in which students can build, one good enough to last for 20 to 30 years. be adjusted and improved a's things develop." Summing up. "we need to pay more attention to the scientific basis of medicine," he said. He would encourage a t'omrnilment from administration to support those young people who'" 1sh to enter and produce in the relatively new field of biomedical research. o SPR1 NG. 1976 35 Drs Polode and Guzseppe Andre~; . �Drs. :\nke 1\ .

II is the result of a unique clinical/ resear·ch approach over the past five years by a husband-wife team fit The Children's Hospital. The other program is located at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and is under Or. John Money. That Drs. Anke A. Ehrhardt and Heino F.L. Meyer-Bahlburg were able to come to Buffalo in 1970 - to collaborate with Endocrine Clinic's Drs. Margaret MacGillivray and Thomas Aceto who is now at the Uni\ersilyof South Dal..ota -they readily admit. was due to support raised here by the local chapter of the Human Growth Foundation. "[I was at I he urging and hard \1\ ork of pare n ts w h ose children had endocrine problems," they said. Support for the program is no\\' also being received from the Erie County Department of Mental Health, the United Way. the Variety Club, and the Buffalo Branch of the International Food Services Executives Associ a Lion. 36 From a staff of three- themselves and a part-time educational counselor -the clinic has grown to a team of 12. There are three Ph.D.'s, a postdoctoral fellow. three counselors. a part-time educalional / \·ocational counselor. two research assistants. and two secretaries. Together, they handle between 2100 to 2500 patient visits annually. Physical disorders of a child may well lead to a \' Ariel)' of behavior problems. Psychological treatment -in close cooperation with pediatric endocrine clinic staff- is the usual team approach for those with c1cute and chronic problems in adjusting to medical conditions. But vvhether it be on a family, group or inclhidual basis, the team continues to follow the patient beyond the acute treatment phase "to ensure there are no new maladjustments \\ h1ch the patient must face." Much of their emphasis in the heavily service-oriented clinic remains on prevention of behavior disorders. In children born with sex organ problems. one such problem is Turner's Syndrome. In this genetic anomah that leads to short stature and streak ovaries, Dr. Ehrhardt points to the psychological effects on an adolescent. "Hormone treatment at the usual age of puberty is required for normal psychological and psychosexual development of the child," she adds. Continuing, the associate professor Morrnn Goodmnn d1scusses vocational pions with adolcs· cent patie nt.

"[t is an opportunity for them to learn efficient ways of peer interaction. along wil h some body skills," she says. Through group counseling children learn to deal with typical peer problems in their specific syndromes. "t\.tany make friends for the very rir·st time," she continues. "They can open up and gain insight into their problems."

Or. 1\leyer-Bahl burg explains that behavior modification techniques often \\'ork for problems such as bedwelting. hairpulling. insufficient stud~ habits. etc. He notes that therapy sessions 10\'0lving the whole family may also be needed. When there are teenage patients, it may be necessary to "unfreeze'' blocked channels of communication. to establish more mature age-adequate interaction patterns between parents and children. And for adolescents with special medical pr·oblerns, Iest sand intervie"" eva Iuations by a trained counselor help to "gUlde them onto the r-ight educational /vocational track." Acttvc leadership from the local chapter of Human Growth Foundation has led to se\·eral scholarship offers from t\\ o and four year colleges for I hese patients. Because it is obvious to the ps~choen­ doc:rint• team that "we cannot just focus on the indi\ idual but must take into account his or her !'nlire environment, there is emphasis on the need for teachers. nurses. princtpals. others involved tn a child's educational process, to r·ecognize problems in these areas. ThAI their teaching has been successful is alleslt~d lo by Or. Meyer-Bahlburg. "We are 38 no" receiving referrals from these sources." 'ol only is there a clinical program for endocrme and growth-related problems but one for those with problems in gender identity. Under I his gender program, prepuberty boys rna~ undergo behavior modification at home. F'plains Or. Meyer-Bahlburg. "we ask fathers to become more active in dealing -.,ilh their suns through typical boyhood activities, to try to reintegrate the child back into the peer group by increasing peer contact systemalical1~ ."And if necessary. parents may also receive counseling and psychotherapy. Among other gender problems seen in adolescents and young adults is transsexualism. Alternative options are considered, points out Dr. Ehrhardt. There is no quick decision-making however. "We try to gel them to a point where they can make a sound decision as to how best adjust to their gender dilemma." she said. For the minority of transsexuals \\hose only solution seems to lie in sex reassignment. a trial period determines whether the desired gender role is the one real- ly wanted. · Following this trial period, if medical treatment still appears to be the only solution and the patient is 21. the team will work with endocrinologists and surgeons. Under a sex program - the third major service area of the psychoendocrine clinic- is management of such problems as homosexuality in adolescence, sexual "outacting" in middle childhood or excessive masturbation in preschoolers. Management techniques include counseling for parents and patients. se' education. and behavior therap~. Oe\eloped b~ the team for all aspects of I he ps~ choendocrine program have been a number of specialized evaluation /treatment pt·otocols. For I hese there is systematic patient evaluation and re\iew. ln this way the team can see for themselves whether their treatment mel hods are \\ orking. "We are then able to offer specific ad\ice to both school and parents." Dr. Ehrhardt adds. Team research has not only contributed to patient management but to basic issues of psychosexunl differentiation and the relation of hormones to behavior. One good case in point is Or. Ehrh<Jrdt's work on patients with adrcnogenital S} ndrome. For these children whose adt·enals release too much of the hormone andmgen, research points lo excellent THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �chances for identification with the sex of rearing despite hormonal genital abnormalities. Following up on previous rohns Hopkins studies tht~t suggested a sex hormone relationship to higher IQ. Dr. Ehrhardt was able to confirm this for a patient sample with the same di.1gnosis at Children's Hospital. But when she former collaborator Susan W. Baker enlarged the project. testtng siblings /parents as well. they could find no difference in intelligence between the group of patients, parents. and siblings. Thus they were able to disprove the notion that high IQ in these patients is simply related to their endocrine Clbnormality. The results of her studies on personality of these children led Dr. Ehrhardt to stress the importance of raising treating girls vvith sex organ and hormone abnormalities as any other normal girls. As important as proper medical therapy and attention. she finds they then feel and behave like other girls and are usually well adjusted. She added that it does not mean that hormones do not affect behavior and temperament. hut rather that these effects are mild in comparison to a child's social and environmental experiences. .mu Postdoctoral Fcllo11 Ehzobt•!h .\1cCouley discusses n·sul!s of ~rudy on gendt!r Jdcn!J!}' 1n \'OUn,ll women wllh Or Ehrhardt. dTeoc:htnR is on tmporton! port of Dr. Ehrhardt's day.

Phill1ps L egend has it that as the Persian Emperor Xerxes stood on a hillside in 481BC watching his immense army crossing the Hellespont to invade Greece, he quietly began to weep. Startled, his Generals asked why he should cry while observing such magnificence. He responded that he wept not at what he saw, but at the thought that such glory had to fade into dust. I felt a little weepy myself a few weeks ago as I sat in the Hotel Fontainbleau in Miami Beach listening to a symposium on "Manpo'""er in Med1cine- too many or too few'?" There were several participants, all gidng ominous messages, but the man who impressed me most was Dr. john Sherman, VicePresident, Association of American Medical Colleges. He reported on the state of the projected 1976 Heolth Manpower Training Act being prepared in Congress. Apparent!~, four areas vital to us all are under discussion: Capitation payments to medical schools: Foreign Medical Graduates, Needs and non-needs in various Residency programs; and Federal medical student scholarships. Capitation payments to schools since their inception a few years ago have aimed at stunulating Medical Schools lo produce more places and more physicians. At present, approximately 14,000 students a year are graduating. Many people feel we are approaching a saturation of physicians. Will the Federal Government continue to tempt the schools to generate more positions and will the schools take the hail? Probably. Probably, too. the schools will be required to promise that a certain percentage of their graduates will go into general medicine Maybe this is not a bad objective 10 itself, but again more regulation. more bureaucratic control. more loss of freedom. On the subject of Foreign Medical Gradua tcs, there seems to be great pressure to limit in some way the unimpeded influx of FMGs into American Medicine. Apparently. a return to the temporary education visa is envisioned. The recent study by the American College of Surgeons indicating that there are too man~ surgeons and too many surgical specialists has made them cast about for ways in which to regulate the number and qualit~ of Residency Training Programs. Will this area, so universally our own in the past. benefit from the hea\ Y hand of Big Brother? I doubt it. Lastly. a number of Federal Medical Scholarships are contemplated. the recipients of which will be required to serve in areas designated by Uncle Sam. The man who pays the bills \'\ill call the tune. Will we like the song? And soil went. Regulation. lntrusion, Anne"\.ation. Regimentation. The carrot. The stick. At the end, 1 rose and brushed away a tear. like Xerxes, wondering if our glory. too, has to fade. o 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �It gives one a feeling of pleasure and gratification when he can look back over a short period of time and determine that some progress has been and is being made. This is particularly true at a time when all is not well. and the future fiscal climate for medical schools is quite uncertain. I am pleased to report to you that several small, yet significant, renovations either have been or are in the process of being completed. Some of you who will visit Buffalo this fall may wish to see the results. The Learning Center, to which last year's and this year's reunion classes have contributed substantial funds for the purchase of equipment. nears completion. It occupies the area of the old stacks of the Medical School Library. Through the combination of alumm and capitation support, and the ingenious approach of Dr. Thomas Burford, a truly unique facility which combines individual study areas and multiple size conference rooms, has been developed. Its presence will always be known despite its catacomb-like environs, because Tom has chosen to glamorize it with the spirit of the bicentennial year. Two projects have been completed at the 2211 Mam Street Campus. The first required refurbishing of Building E. and thts has permitted the School to locate many of the functions of the Department of Psychiatry in a single locus. The expanded and renovated surroundings now house Drs. S. Mouchly Small, Gloria Roblin and Norman Solkoff, together with the administrative staff. My office only hopes that I he secretaries are able to function in an open area. The other project required renovation of the north half of the third floor of the "A" Building. These freshly redecorated facilities will house the administrative and support staff of the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine. These two projects obviously have provided growth opportunities for these two programs and have freed up some space on the Main Street campus for reallocation of other programs. Other projects that are in progress relate to the School's administrative staff. The areas previously used to house the Vice President for Health Sciences and his staff and many of the functions of the Dean's staff are betng renovated and refurbished to make programmatic activity more efficient. Essentially. three projects are in progress. The first is designed to group the staff of the offices that relate to student and curricular affairs; the second, to the admissions office; and the third for the Dean and his support staff. These projects should be completed by early summer. and should enable us to present a new view to the class entering medical school this fall. I hope the above progress serves to provide a feeling that even in uncertain times, some forward progress can and is being made. John Naughton, M.D. Dean FALL, 1976 3 Dean \ou_!!hton From the desk of John P. Naughton, M.D. Dean, School of Med1c1ne �Spring Clinical Days 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �L ungs are fertile fields for infections. In detailing their response to inJury in the adult respiratory distress syndrome- from alveoli ones to advanced fibrotic stage- Dr. John Vance advised on constant suspicion when there is rapid breathing. early signs of falling oxygen. The clinical associate professor of medicine would then advise arterial blood gases. chest X-rays to detect the beginnings of "wet" lungs. He emphasized the need for earlr recognition. treatment to avoid complications before the syndrome becomes fully developed. "That is when the mortality rate is high," he cautioned. The closer the site of surgery is to the lungs, the more problems there will be. predicts Dr. Robert Klocke. In the associate professor of medicine's physiologic review of why six percent get into trouble. he noted a 50 percent decrease in lung volume following surgery. "It takes almost a week for decreased flow rates to return to normal." he said. Problems will occur in high risk patients undergoing either abdominal or thoracic surgery. In the former. where there is no c1ssault on the lungs. he pointed to the need to identify those with less function to start ~' ith or flow rate problems, and in the latter to know how much ltssue can be removed without leaving a "resptratory cripple." "Studies point to a quarter of those with pulmonary carcinoma '' ho "'ill die if their vital capacity is less than 70 percent, the figure rising to almost half if their capacity is less than 50 percent." he added. An indispensible pulmonary diagnostic tool is the fiberoptic bronchoscope. act:ording to Dr. Andras Vari. The clinical instructor of medicine noted its \Vider application due to flexibility. smaller size. "all leading to better patient acceptance and 'isualization." He noted high diagnostic accuracy when the tool is used to biopsy: to inspect the bronchial tree to evaluate chronic, unexplained coughs; hemoptysis; localized wheezing; nasopharynx; vocal cords: as a guide-wire to ease mechanically-difficull intubation or FALL. 1976 5 Pulmonary Problems d-- �Cochlolb pren·ded the luncheon. to remove excess secret ion /mucous plugs through suction or foreign bod ies from the bronchial tree.

Patient education, he adds, is the key lo caring for these palien ts '" ho usually en t poorly and \\hose families have lit Lie understanding of their disease. "There ore too many emergency room visits," he sa HI. He pointed to the need for rehabilitation programs which lead to £ewer hospitaliza I ions. exercise programs to improve patient aclivilics, and ontibiolics at the first sign of respiratory infection. "We want to lowet' the 90 percent of acute ascerbation seen in chest disease that t1re due to infections," he noted. Hypertension That today's therapy for hypertensh·e patients is planned in a pharmacologic. additive fashion was confirmed b} Dr. Robert W. Schultz. The clinical Associate in medicine also noted more screening. more physician education that is underway. "For only half of the 23 million who have high blood pressure know it. And just 2.3 million are being adequately treated," he said. In his review of newer therapy for essential /moderate severe hypertension. Dr. William Mrozak said that while hypertensives are more apt to be obese. losing weight would not generally lower their blood pressure. "Restrictive salt intake will." The Georgetown investigator pointed to a change in life style that is requir·ed ho·wever. 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Spring Clinical Days Drone ~oar. olumnr coordlllalor hondlt>s regrslrolion. He added that all antihypertensi\e drugs lead to salt retention. Hence the need for a diuretic as the first stage in a multiple drug approach to patient care. After altering fluid volumes. a second stage drug acts on the sympathetic nervous system and then a vasodilator can be added. Renovascular h~ pertension. That is the largest. potentially curable form. savs Or. Donald Vidt of the Cleveland Clinic. He noted that surgery for some of these patients will lead to better survival and cautioned on suspecting this disease that results from occlusion of t·enal arteries when a well-controlled essential hypertensive suddenly becomes difficult lo manage. Noting limited clues on physical examination- pcule changes in optic fundi, continuous abdomina] bruits. absence of family history of hypertension -he urged use of both urogram/renogram to achieve a 90 percent screening accuracy of renal artery lesions.

When a patient approaches a cr1sts siluation in malignant /accelerating hypertension, an abrupt reduction of blood pressure is called for. according to Dr. Charles M. Elwood. The clinical professor of medicine revie\\ ed his findings on new drugs to treat these medical emergencies as well as qualifications for this t~pe of therapy. Koting a one-year survival rate for 20 percent of these patients with malignant hypertension, he was able to point to just half that figure after two years, and the few who make it beyond that time. Among clues for the need to immediately lower mean arterial pressure- a product of cardiac output and peripheral resistanceis hemorrht~ge exudate seen on fundi examination. He urged a drug to restore hemodynamic relations in the patient. For the higher the blood pressure. the greater the renin levels which evoke rapid destruction of blood \·essels. Touching on the importance of salt-free diets. the number of drugs now available to rapidly control blood pressures \\' ith minimal side effects, he suggested a delayed onset of action "if there is no real hurry." Echo Diagnosis When combined with the clinical picture. ultra sound is an important investigative tool. For nut only is this sophisticated instrumentation referred to as Echo graphic imaging eusy to use. re.tsnnable in cost, but because of its noninvasiveness can be repeated us often as necessary with no harm to the patient. according to Dr. Anthony Bonner, a CAI'diologist at Mercy Hospital.

The basic principles of Echo cardiography as well as how it works in real time were reviewed bv Indiana University's Dr Arthur E. \Ve~ man. B~· orienting "th1ngs" in space, il has become an important technique to diagnose ventricular aneurisms, transposition of the great vessels, congenital heart disease in some patients. and can provide qualitative information on mitral stenosis in adults, he said. A quarter of Dr. Richard W. Munschauer's obstetrical patients ell Children's Hospital have been studied\ Ia fetal Echos. Because 1he sac of amniotic fluid is such a good conductor of ultra sound, the clinical associate professor of radiology noted that "you can see the natural fetus that is surrounded b} it." He added that most referrals at·e for gestational age pt·edictions, with optimal time bet~A-ccn 20 to 24 weeks. ln explaining hO\\ it "' orks, he pointed to ultra sound that is passed from transducer through the abdomen to ret urn as a series of dots or Echoes and depicts the fetus. Noting that "we can show pregnancy as early as fi\e weeks for that is when the placenta occupies half of the uterus." he finds this adjunct technique to be of great help in evaluating it. And he forsees thee\ entual hookup of fetal Echoes to a computer "to gain tremendous 1maging." In ophthalmology, what is making a difference in diagnosis is ultrasonography. Explaining that because the eye is stationary, 11 .11lows both linear/ horizontal scans to detect almost anything that goes wrong, noted Dr. Leonnrd W. Lewis. These, he added, range from retinal detachments to tumot s, cat.~racts, inflammatorv processes, etc. When both A and B modes of ultra sonography are combined. the clinical instructor in ophthalmology pointed to "a picture of the motion of the eye that is obtained. It g1ves us the most information," he said. 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"We have good health care in this country. Most complaints about our health care crisis are nonsense." M. Stanton Evans, the Stockton Kimball Memorial Lecturer, pointed out that the United States has the highest ratio of physicians to population of any nation. Mr. Evans is senior editor for Private Practice. a CBS news commentator. a syndicated columnist for the Los Angeles Times and chairman of the American Conservative Union. "Most complaints are pluses. Our life expectancy is up and our infant mortality rate is down. There is no physician shortage and physicians are practicing where people live. There is no serious maldistribution of physicians," Mr. Evans said. ''If there is a problem it is the rising cost of health care delivery. And the more the Federal Government becomes involved the higher the costs will be. During the 1960's medical costs doubled every five years because of government intrusion. Now we are told that we must adopt a new government medical program to solve the first program that failed. "I hope we have learned a lesson. We should not adopt new programs to cure old ailments. 1 ew programs will create more problems. Further government intrusion could result in a $300 billion annual bill," Mr. Evans said. "People believe it is their constitutional right to have good health care- free. This is as impossible as everyone demanding a free airplane ride. "As government subsidies gel more expensive there will be more controls. We will end up with assembly-line medicine. I don't like this. I want to be treated as a person and as a patient." Your patients will be the big losers because of long hoes and more demands that will result in decreasing care. "The medical profession needs a more positive posture. You must be more aggressive and stop back-peddling. You must seek the support of other professions- law. engineering, etc.- if you are to successfully stop further government control a11d regulation. Don't sit back and let the government carry the battle to you. d-- Second place c:>.hibil.

And it marked his third year in remission from disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma (histocylic lymphoma). As Dr. Samuel Sanes shared his wealth of knowledge as pathologist c1nd as cancer patient with the sophomore pathology lab section, he not only meticulously and methodically elicited collective information on general pathology terms but applied them to clinical situatlons. In his review of the diagnosis and treatment of his illness (original biopsy diagnosis was made by Dr. Sol Messinger at whose invitation he wns here and Dr. Anthony V. Postoloff), he continued to stress the importance of the relationship between patient and physician. ''It has a profound effect on the quality of life," he said. And he hoped that when these future physicians treat a patient. they would remember that they not only "will take care of a human being - a mentaltemotional familial/social economic/spiritual human being - but of the family as well." Pointing to how a patient copes with his disease. accepts treatment, and how long he willli\'e may depend to a degree on family response, he again questioned physician concern with the disease rather than the whole patient. "Results may depend on the first physician whom the patient sees," he said. In response to how he ·was feeling. he assured students that he was doing "much better than I e\'er expected to after diagno:>is in 1973. . . that I can come here and talk to you as a patient.· No. he was not bitter about his illness. "There is an optimistic side to cancer," he said. Wast he quality of his life changed'?" ·o. except in my appreciation of it," he responded. He alluded to days when he did not feel well, " I cannot do things as well as I used to." Why did he accept this first invitation to lecture to medical students since his retirement? Perhaps it was to plead for a better understanding of the patient by future physicians. perhaps it was an opportunity just to teach. o Or Dr. Sones returns to the classroom.

Academically there were differences. It was the largest (145) graduating class: almost a quarter (32) were women. Emotionally there was a feeling of "family" between the heterogeneous group of graduates and the new team of administration. In sharing what he had learned listened to from three generations of physicians (at 50 year and 25 year reunions during Sprmg Clinical Days and the Class of 1976). Dean john Naughton hoped lo synthesize rather than destroy the apparent disparities between those who trained during a period of affluence and were forced to practice during the Great Depression. others whose training during the postwar years was threatened by technological breakthroughs. and the graduating class. There was recognition of "eRch \o\ ho desires to serve." He alluded to the greater task of the graduating class. "one as yet unfamiliar to you and to me," and touched on the economics /service of health care delivery. the challenging role of physicians and those who would work with them. the utilization of research results, and the greater role that government and community agencies/other components of the health delivery system would continue to assume in the process of decision-making. And he also expressed the hope that "you (each graduate) will continue to meet not only your own individual expectations but others in the society as well." In their addresses, one class president chose to look back, I he other ahead. Touching on the debt, the great deal learned from each other. Serafin C. Anderson noted the "great stream of diversity in the human spirit. . the infinite and varied ways to live life and to practice medicme . . . the substantial debt owed to faculty, especially those who have impressed on us not only the material rewards but the awesome responsibility of the 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �profession . . . taught us to treat patients rather than diseases."

He sees the ne\•.'ly-organized Physicians National Houseslaff Association as "a matter of practical productive health care delivery . . . not a revolution. rather as accelerating it," a system in which he feels house officers "must become the lobby for the sick. especially the underprivileged." In their cledica lion of The Iris (medical school yearbook) named after the first UtB yearbook published in 1898, editors Louise A. Isenberg and Dennis R.

There was recognition of Dr. Leonard Katz for his Tlw "demonstrated leadership in clinical leaching, attention to concerns of students. commitment to the very best in medical education. a commitment amply demonstrated in his first year as dean for student and curricular affairs, and to find places for us in our medical education."

And through a personal parable on three barbers denoting pride, indifference, and satisfaction that comes through professional efforts- he hoped that "shouldn't we (as physicians) serVP our profession with pride? Don't you love all of your patients despite their differences?" Also honored were Mary Shapiro and Dr. John Richert. In referring to all of thr help recehed o\er the past four years.

T he celebration that we observed todav is in the truest sense a commencement, a beginning together of ~ lifelong medical education, the content of which is now largely hidden from even the most farsighted among us. We have only to consider the situation of our colleagues of past decades to realize that this day in no way represents the end of our medical education. Those graduates embarked upon their medical careers at a time when much medical knowledge which seems indispensable today was wholly unrecognized. They continue to do useful service as physicians. not on the strength of their often antiquated formal medical education, but because at some point-perhaps in medical school, perhaps elsewhere-they learned to learn and to continue learning 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �throughout life. No one who considers the accelerating pace of medical science and technology can imagine that the situation will somehow be different for this year's graduating physicians. No, our education thus far has certainly not prepared us to practice in the coming decades. but if we have learned to learn we-and our teachers-ha\'e done well. Commencement, for the student of medicine. ought to be a time of rededication and rene•.ved commitment. It is a time for both a retrospective and prospective look at medical education. In these few minutes. I have chosen to look back at the last four vears. AI Benson, in his remarks, wtlltake a forward look. Both of u"s. I hope, will in a fundamental way be addressing the future. As we survey our medical school years, it is with a sense of gratitude and great indebtedness. The financial liabilities which we have incurred, which are in some cases awesome indeed, are perhaps the debts which seem most immediate. But il is the more intangible obligations to which I refer. This commencement IS in large part a family affair, and its celebration underscores the tremendous debt of thanks which we owe our families. Some of us are but the most recent of several generations of ph}'sicians. Others are the first doctor or perhaps even the first college graduate in the family. Whatever the particular situation, we ovve our parents great thanks for the support they have given. Many of this year's graduates are married. Some have children. It is certainly this more immediate family which has borne the brunt of the frustration and preoccupation with our medical education. You have sacrificed much to insure that this day would arrive. We also owe a debt to one another. The hours have been made bearable, some even enjoyable, to the extent that we have been able to work together. We have learned a great deal from one another, chiefly perhaps that there is great strength in the diveq;ity of the human sptrit, that there are infinite valid ways to live life, and to practice medicine. We owe yet another substantial debt to the faculty of this School of Medicine. True, there are some who have taught us little except that the professional corporation is the key to limited liability and almost limitless financial gain. But there are others who have impressed upon us not the material rewards but the awesome responsibilities of the physician. There are those who have taught us to treat patients rather than diseases. And there are those who refuse to accept the easy student-teacher dichotomy and who, as the finest teachers of medicine. remain enthusiastic students as '"'ell. To these faculty members we owe great thanks. Yet our greatest debt of gratitude lies elsewhere. The late Str William Osler, speaking of medical education, once observed that there is "no teaching without a patient for a text. and the best teaching is that taught by the patient himself." At this juncture In our education we clearly owe a great deal to family. friends. and faculty; but to our patients we owe immeasurably more. In the first place, it is the patient who has served throughout these last four years as the antidote to compartmentalization in our medical thinking. Members of the faculty may argue heatedly as to the relative merits of the traditional departmental versus the so-d - FALL. 1976 23 �called organ system approach in medical education; it is the patient "'ho forces us to transcend both of these approaches and to confront the infinite complex it} of disease, which crosses both departmental and organ system boundaries. Drs \li chof!l Tornul. ~aug hlon It is the patient "'"'ho presents medical problems not in the sleek simplicity of the comprehensive text but in the disorder of the human condition. We learn a great deal from the alcoholic, the treatment of whose alcohol withdrawal may aggravate his hepatic encephalopathy. The patient with chronic renal failure and nearly absent kidney function forces a rethinking of fluid and electrolyte balance. I do not mean to suggest that the books and lectures of the preclinical years are without value; they are tools and means to an end. But without the patient as teacher we would never allain this end, which is the integration of fragmented facts into practical clinical judgment. In yet another sense we are indebted to the patient; for it is he who reminds us repeatedly of the limitations of medicine. This is done in many ways. It is the patient who reasserts the importance of the nonphysician in assuring quality health care-the elderly lady with anemia and congestive heart failure who can't find a rodent-free home. who has no transportation to return to clinic. who lacks the money for adequate nutrition. and who certainly cannot afford to spend $35 of her $117 monthly Social Security check on the medicines you've prescribed. Here our social system underscores medicine's relative lack of resources. Without the help of the nonphysician-in this case. the social worker-your diet and your drugs become empty exercises. In this and countless other ways the patient preserves and deepens that measure of humility so important to medicine. After one more kidney transplant and rejeclion, one more trial of chemotherapy. one more shunt for the hydrocephalic child, medicine someltmes seems to assume a momentum of its own. It is the patient who unfortunately must then say, "Doctor, you have done enough," reminding us that the imposing order of medical science and technology is often impotent in the face of the disorder of disease. Finally, and most important, it is the patient who endows the study and practice of medicine with its unique vitality. As a sophomore pathology student, one memorizes rather woodenly the pathophysiology of diabetes as it affects the kidney, the eye, the peripheral nerves, and the arteries and small blood vessels. Such disembodied knowledge is difficult to retain. But the first patient who presents as a compendium of diabetic complications makes an impression which is impossible to forget. We. as physicians. may feel overworked and undervalued but we must always temper such thoughts with the realization that there are millions who work daily at occupations which are pursued solely to earn a living. A career which is worthy of a lifetime's work is a luxury which few can afford-the exception rather than the rule. We sometimes forget that most doctors are 'self-employed'. If they work long hours it is because they choose to, because they find in the practice of medicine a fulfillment worthy of the work. It is one of the few professions in which one can finish a 36-hour shift with a sense of exhilaration-not always certainly. but 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �sometimes-and that in itself is truly remarkable. And for this it is the patient we have to thank. the patient who gives the field of medicine its human dimensiOn and its tremendous vitality as the most humane of the sciences. D uring the last decade many medical students ha\ e flagellated the health establishment with an intense idealism. Such provocative protests against the rather traditional antipathies concerning the poor, the Black, the Indian, and prison inmate as well as attacks against the stalwarts of American medicine exemplified by the American Medical Association and the pharmaceutical house monopolies are gradually tempered after four years of medical school educa Lion. The medical student is transformed into an individual who is now considered more professionally-mature. Commencement marks the transition from the gadfly dissentient inspecting the medtcal machine at some distance to one who is identified as an essential component of an often turbulent health empire. This person has now assumed the role of intern resident or house officer and. as such, must devote his energies in new demanding directions which are not diverted by mere verbal protest. Or. Thomas H. Hunter. from the University of Virginia, recently described the house officer as one who must function in at least six roles: -as a postdoctoral student, -as a teacher of medical students and other health personnel, -as an administrator of a complex health team, -as an investigator involved in clinical research, -as a physician caring for sick patients, -as an employee of the hospital. Until several years ago, these men and women accepted the anxieties and frustrations of such complicated responsibility as well as resentment over being "exploited as cheap labor" with only behindthe-scenes grumbling. Currently, as the public demands better treatment for its 100 billion health dollars annually spent, as health care costs continue to rise. as hospital administrators become more powerful, and as the government tentacles begin to grasp every aspect of physician education and health care delivery. it is the house officer who is now to challenge the traditional perspective of his or her historic role. It is the intern and resident. as well as our patients, who have now been irrevocably caught between what has been recently called the "extremes of the do-nothing plans of the AMA and the do-everything plans of organized labor." Last year Congress voted to include non-profit hospitals as an extension of the National Labor Relations Act. This represents recognition of the hospital as an industrialized complex rather than as a house of charity dominated by the professional. Surely, this can be no surprise with the steady rise of influence of third-party payers. tremendous hospital costs, the organization of health service work forces. physician corporations, and subspecialty medicine. It should also surprise no one that house officers are fid- FALL. 1976 25 The Future by AI Benson Ill. M.D. AI B Benson �j ding it necessary to organize into such groups as the Physicians National llousestaff Assocralion. After the March 1975 Ne\\ York City housestaff strike. one chief resident stated: "Organized hospital medicine and organized academic medicine have created a Frankenstein by their hidebound, ossified resistance to an\> kmd of change. Had they not sat back with all those . . . rationalizations for maintaining the miserable status quo. they wouldn't have precipitated the development of orgamzed house staffs which they perceive as teamsters with stethoscopes and white pants." Certainly house staff associations are partially self-serving in their insistence upon quality educational programs, shorter working hours and more realistic salaries; however. quality patient care is an absolute and fundamental objective of these organizations. Hosp1tal administr·ations, in the growing panic generated by financial crisis. have made patient care a secondary objective. Administrators are endangering sound patient care concepts by encouraging overadmissions to the hospital simply to occupy excess beds, by eliminating general and specialty clinics, by overulllizing the emergency room, by lack of equipment and facilities, and by undermining training programs for physicians, nurses. and other personnel which represent the backbone of quality health delivery. The health team approach to patient care has been seriously damaged by the elimination of many social workers, paramedics. nurses. and occupational and physical therapists from our hospital wards. Unusually long working hours and poor working conditions have certainly resulted in mistakes of omission or commission by physicians. The management of a health industry requires training and critical voices during the earlier career stages before entrenchment into the system is final. The refusal by the NationaL Labor Relations Board to guarantee residents the right lo collective bargaining is unacceptable in that it forces the resident to remain the silent partner in the physician hierarchy. Resident and attending physicians, not hospital or government bureaucrats, are trained in the art of medical care. They must therefore unite as a political force to ensure that the limited financial resources are spent to potentiate efforts to prevent unnecessary disease. unnecessary disability. and unnecessary death. The unionization of physicians is not inauspiciously unprofessional and \\ill not erode public respect and confidence, if further inaction is the only alternative. As house officers. we must become the Lobby for the sick, especiaiJy the sick and underprivileged . . . the burden of patient care requires the utmost credibility, competence. and compassion. A strong house staff organization is not a grandiose scheme but rather a matter of practical productive health delivery. It is not a rehearsal for the health emprre apocalypse. It is not conceived necessarily to revolutionize but rather to accelerate the American health system evolution. Such is a friendly amendment to the medical constitution. Thank you and good luck. o 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �As each of you in the class knows our paths have crossed only infrequently in a personal \\ay during the last 18 months. However, in my association with the University during a span of almost two years, there have been significant contacts with individual members in your class which have provided ample opportunity for me to assess the class character. The first of these occurred during the Search Committee process when student members of that Committee did much to familiarize me with the goals and aspirations of the medical students, the perceived mel and unmet student needs, and with their assessments of the faculty. There is little doubt in my mind that the contributions of Nancy Nielsen and AI Benson to that process and effort contributed greatly to faculty educa lion, improved interinstitutional communication and enhanced student morale. You have been well represented academically by the 14 scholars elected to Alpha Omega Alpha; by the 19 individuals who will be acknowledged with individual honors this evening; by Irwin Montgomery, the recipient of an American Academy of Neurology. National Research Award; by the tremendous talents of Serafin Anderson; and by having fared so well in your placements for graduate medical education training, both within the Buffalo area and throughout the countr~. Your concern for one another. for the integrity of your class. and for the continuity of the life of the institution is well demonstrated in the singularly impressive accomplishment of this year's edition of THE IRIS. Dennis Pyszczynski and Louise Isenberg deserve a particular vote of gratitude and appreciation. I would like to note that in my opinion this year's yearbook effort represents more than a compilation of names. photographs, and fabulation of events which will join our other artifacts and archival inventories. Its content signifies evidence that you. as a class. have a solidarity and a commitment to a strong value system that is people oriented, particularly family oriented. Such a demonstrable commitment indicates that we of the faculty and your friends and family can look forward with optimism to that day when you will be rendering medical service to our society. For all of the above accomplishments, I congrat ulate you. For allowing the faculty of the University at Buffalo to share in them with you, I thank you. d- Con(cmng of L>ocror u( Phdosophr Dt'~recs FALL. 1976 27 Challenge to Graduates by john '\'oughton. ,\LD. �{)rs.

I have already indicated to you that this has been a busy week for all of us. The events of the past several days brought to mmd an old adage "... before you marry, meet and appraise the grandparent." Its impact may not be apparent to you for several minutes. l have participated in the 50th class reunion, the 25th class reunion, and now. your graduation. The lessons that I have learned from these contacts are numerous and, of course, the number of jokes l have heard are legendary. However, in a short period of time a span of three genera lions has been represented and I am impressed with the following: Each of the groups has evidenced a drive to serve and each has encountered its frustrations and ils successes. For instance, the Class of 1926left medical school at a time of great social affluence, high expectations and happiness. Life was fast, but simple. Each was well prepared to practice the art of medicine; few worried about technology; and none envisioned that during their active practicing lives they would witness the western world's worst depression; a horrible war; a revolution in medical technology; the advent of the age of specialization and over-specialization; and the eradication or near-eradication of most of the diseases they were trained to treat. However. each has coped; each has attained accomplishments greater than they had ever dreamed of; and in their fading years each is still energetic enough to be concerned about the integrity of the medical profession and to ask whether its intrinsic values will be preserved. The Class of 1951, of course, differed vastly from that of 1926. Its graduates were born with the depression; most were veterans of that great war; and all were older than their colleagues of '26 and most of yours at the time of graduation. They entered practice during the age of technological change; with the birth, growth and success of the biomedical research era; the almost total disappearance of the generalist; and the advent of the specialist. Its members have been blessed with a prolonged era of affluence and an era during which the medical and social roles of the physician have been greatly enhanced. They have met most of their expectations and they have certainly helped society accomplish many of theirs. However, both classes have exhibited certain degrees of frustration occasioned by our inability to cover all bases at one time. Your class, of course, is just entering professional life. But even at this point in your lives you have grown and matured through periods of great turbulence and change. For you represent the generation of the age of technology. research advance, specialization, affluence, counterculture, dissatisfaction with certain social advances and inequities, and the generation that will be asked to meet many of society's unmet expectations during the fading years of this century. I am no ..v of the opinion that the challenge that lies before you can be iden Lified from many of the successes and failures of previous graduates. Your challenge will be to synthesize the dedication to individual service, to human values, and to the art of medicine that was so ingrained in physicians of the earlier generations with the vasl knowledge stores, technological knowhow, and specialized interests lhat characterize those of us who represent the so-called modern era. Let me emphasize that it is to 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �synthesize these apparent discordant identities and value systems, not to destro~ either. I belie\'e that is a rather large challenge. It is an e\ en larger challenge because to accomplish the task, you will be asked to do so in the context of a vocabulary often times unfamiliar to you and me. and in an environment that may not always be understanding or friendly to your own interests. Your battleground will be in the context of economics; service delivery; chang ing roles for physicians and those with whom they work; utilization of research results rather than development of new research and the extension of health care more and more from a hospital base to an ambulatory and community base. Your interfaces will be less and less with hospittll directors and more and more with community and governmental agencies and other components of the health delivery system. I am encouraged that if one is willing to share in the successes and failures of those who have gone before us. that you, the members of the Class of 1976, will contribute to meeting not only your own individual expectations, but to those of society as well. On behalf of the School of Medicine. I am pleased to congratulate you and to wish you well. Now. before closing let me turn momentarily to another concerned and important group. Would those great grandmothers; grandmothers: and mothers present please stand. Please give a big hand to these important contributors to this event. o . Or. Alexander C.

Most were from middle-sized American cities. One as far away as Hawaii, others frum across the country and Canada. But bceausc these physicians - almost all were dermatologists- were not near leaching hospitals. they wanted an update on diagnosis/ treatment of some major skin diseases. It w<~s presented at this first annual Westwood Conference on Clinical Dermatology by the department of dermatology at the Stale Universitv at BufCalo. \Jotmg the need ·for dentists, who are the first to look into a patient's mouth, as well as physicians to be aware of the many dermatologic diseases which may have oral munifcstations, Ut B's Dr. Alan Drinnan pointed to a dose working relationship underway in Buffalo bel\,v een the departments of dermatology and dentistry. "We are doing just that," he Silid. 36 In his review of a group of genetic diseases found in the head and neck areas. Minnesota's Dr. Robert Carlin pointed to ma ny which are "often misdiagnosed." He cautioned on the need to learn about genetics or to fmd an expert who kno\~s. Because contact dermatitis is a common disease, guidelines for pinpointing patients \~ ho may be directly allergic to certain materials were presented by Minnesota's Dr. William F. Sc:horr. He pointed to much progress -there is pendin~ legislation in identifying ingredients in cosmetics screening preparations th.tt may produce an allergy. On physician request. a brea"-down of new cosmetics is .1vnilable from a cosmetic clearing house (he was instrumental in its development). In a study of cosmetic allergies, Dr. Schorr implicated perfumes as the "villains." Although he could count between 50 to 100 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �chemicals. the same handful kept appearing in each case of cosml'tic allergy.

Alexander Fisher. Among newer conta<.t allergens. he noted the 1 ubber antitoxins. dyes und glues "vve are now finding tn shoes. most of which are being produced in Europe." And he pointed to some forms of \' itilago which may be drug-induced (from detergents. soaps. industrial products}. In his revie\.\' of the physics and language of light. Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons' Dr. Leonard Hurber pointed to some harmful as well as helpful reactions associated with its various ranges. and connected them with a number of drugs. The \'arious kinds of protection we have agatnst light were reviewed by Pennsylvania's Dr. Albert ~1. Kligman. To protect against sunburn cuused by the UVA range (360 manometers), he recommended PABA (para aminobenznmme acid) and others containing Gmd\' Larsson. df•portrncnt busmcss odmw•strotor. PABA esters. Because the UVB range falls between 290 and 320 manometers. be noted the greater protection that is needed. Not only was he able to implicate the former range in almost all photoallergies but pointed to its therapeutic use in the treatment of psoriasis. Dr. Kligman cautioned that ordinary sunscreens do not protect the population .;l most risk. "those of Celtic descent. tbe lightskinned. c·ed-headed, freckled individuals who never tan and are more apt to develop aging of the skin as well as skin cancer.'' d- -\n C\'Cnlll,ll ol ,\/bnghl /o..nox - Drs Dobson, \1rs Strauss, Drs. Sholl Ia and Strauss FALL, 1976 37 �Updating a new, dramatic method for psoriasis/ other skin diseases were Harvard's Drs. Thomas B. Fitzpatrick and John A. Parrish. In th1s method known as photochemotherapy (photo stands for UVA. chemo for psoralen). light is used along with a systemically-administered drug, and is probably more effective than those previously used. In his review of photodermatitis, San Francisco's Or. John H. Epstein not only cited numerous chemicals in our environment- external and internal ones - which can lead to problems, but he potnted to the removal of one of the major causes, a bactericidal agent in soap. To protect against sunburn, he cautioned against exposure to sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., to use sunscreens containing PABA or PABA esters, and that any problem that is accentuated by continuous exposure to sun should lead you to suspect photosensitivity problems. Application of training in basic immunology techniques to clinical problems has led to a better understanding of dermatologic diseases. The complexity of the complement tTcell antibody system \'\·as reviewed by NU-l's Or. M1chael Frank. "We now have a better understanding of the protection we receive against infection that results from mediation by the complement system. It is the major serum mechanism for generating an inflammatory response," he said. A rare candida infection of the skin/ mucous membrane was reviewed by NIH's Or. Charles Kirkpatrick. Profound or subtle immunologic defects in lymphocytes were noted in most of his patients with mucocutaneous candidiasis. Dr. Hcodm~ron Dr forrlon Dr. Rasmu ssflO 38 He emphasized the role that T -cell plays in protection against this normally trivial infection. A number of precipitating antibody tests developed by UtB's Or. Morris Reichlin are proving to be valuable in making prognostic estimates on patients with lupus erythematosis who will develop nephritis. ln his report of a lupus band test that is used to pinpoint patients with lupus nephritts. U/B's Dr. Thomas Provost was able to point to a high correlation between the test and renal disease in patients with SLE. Heterogeneous is the population of those with bullous pemphigoid. In data presented by him, those with its localized form readily respond to therapy. And he pointed to long remissions which can result. He noted that most patients have a generalized form however. From Mayo Medical School's Or. L. Oiaz (a former U/ B dermatology resident), came some exciting data on isolating specific antigens to screen patients with pemphigus and pemphigoid. Once isolated, be believes that a simple laboratory or office test that uses antigens in a patient's serum, can be developed. Dermatitis herpetiformis and its relationship to gluten-sensitive enteropathy was reviewed by NIH's Dr. Steven Katz. He noted that immunofluorescent testing for lgA to screen these patients is of great diagnostic value. A rare bullous disease of pregnancy was reported by Mayo Medical School's Or. Robert Jordan (a former Buffalo faculty member]. In herpes gestationis he said that both mother and child develop this blistering, debilitating disease. Data seem to indicate its mediation in Dr. Do bson Dr. Provost Dr. .\fa u;e THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �both by complement and IgG anti-basement membrane zone antibody. In his studies of two diseases. toxic epidermal necrolysis and erythema multiforme, U!B's Dr. James Rasmussen could offer no proof that treatment influences their course. ln the former. while his studies on 100 patients suggest a self-limited disease, it is one which he feels should be treated in order to eliminate the staphylococcus that colonize mucous membranes. In the latter disease, many clinicians think systemic steroids are necessary. Not so, responds Dr. Rasmussen. His experience on children with this disease also points to a selflimited disorder. Therapy, he said, only leads to unnecessary complications. Acne. Its various concepts were reviewed by Dr. Rasmussen, its clinical varieties by Dr. Kligman, and its treatment by Boston University's Dr. John Strauss and Downstate Medical Center's Dr. Alan R. Shalita. Dr Shalrta Dr Strauss There was agreement that causes factors which aggravate acne have been well defined.

Drmnan In his presentation of many clinical varities of acne. Or. Kligman included those pt·ecipitated b} e'\.posure to sunlight. and the use of harsh soaps or abrasives. Or. Strauss emphasized the principles of systemic steroids and guidelines for use of antibiotics and hormones while Or. Shalita outlined topical therapy. In his opinion benzoyl f)eroxide is the best while retinoic acid runs a close second. He also noted the limited value of most other topical preparations. In his review of psuedomalignancies, U/ B's Dr. John C. Maize pomted to the importance of conelating the skin biopsy with biological behavior of the disease. The characteristics and reactions to insect biles and parasitic infections were also reviewed by him. Often misdiagnosed, he pointed to suspicion of these by an experienced clinician and diagnosis by a histopathologist. New York University's Dr. Bernard Ackerman attempted to dispel the myth of chronic nonspecific dermatitis. The developer of an elaborate but practical system of histopathologic diagnosis, it has proven of great use to him. In his review of lymphomatoid papulosis. a lesion of malignant appearance but benign beha\ ior, Dr. John T. Headington, University of Michtgan, cautioned on the need for longterm follow-up of these patients. For three cases of true malignant lymphoma have been reported. That most participants were enthusiastic about the four-day dermatology program was confirmed by their desire to return to the second annual meeting that is scheduled for next May. o Dr. Marra Retires Or. Edward F. Marra, professor and chairman of the department of social and preventive medicine since 1960, resigned August 31. In 1974 Dr. Marra was honored for his service to the School of t-.tedicine at the annual faculty meeting. He received his bachelor's degree from Trinity College in 1945 where he was a W. H. Russell Fellow. Dr. Marra served in the United States Navy the next t\·v o years. In 1950 he received his medical degree from Boston University where he completed graduate training in internal medicine. While sen:ing on the Boston faculty from 1953 to 1960 he earned an MPH degree from Harvard University in 1955. Under his leadership in Buffalo over a 16-year span, several faculty received their training to head similar departments at other medical centers. Dr. Marra was also instrumental in setting up a comprehensive University undergraduate training program in family medicine an d medical sociology. o 40 T HE BUFFALO PHYS ICIAN �DR. PASQUALE A.

Barnard has resigned as chairman of the department of biochemistry. a position he bas held since 1969. He will continue as a research professor in the department. Or. Barnard came to Buffalo in 1964 from the University of Marburg, Germany where he was a visiting professor. He was born in London, England and received both his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from King's College, University of London. In 1969 Or. Barnard received a Guggenheim Fellowship for study in Europe. In 1974 he was among 38 scientists in the United States to be recognized for outstanding performance in the biomedical sciences by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation. o FALL, 1976 41 Dr. Greco Honored �After a gruelling year first and second year medical students found various ways of relaxing. Some participated in a softball game while others enjoyed a picnic, cocktails and fellowship. 42 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN ��St. Maarten Seminar The St..\1oorlm bt·och. One of the best-ever U/B Alumni Association continuing education seminars. this one to St. Maarten in the Caribbean, February 21 to 28. involved 40 physicians. The romantic appeal of this pleasant island. half French and half Dutch, provided a perfect counterpoint to a five-day program of current clinical dialogues. moderated by Dr. Milford C. ~aloney, who is clinical associate professor of medicine and chairman, Department of Medicine at Mercy Hospital in Buffalo. Dr. Jules Constant, clinical associate professor of medicine, and Dr. James Nolan, chairman, Department of Medicine, Buffalo General Hospital and professor of medicine, were the panelists. Topics covered included drug induced Liver injury; the jugular venous pulse; chronic active hepatitis; current concepts in diagnosis and treatment of angina, hepatitis associated antigenusefulness and limitations; current concepts on dtgitalis therapy, and pre-operative and post-operative management of the patient with liver disease. The program was approved ~or credit b~ the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association and was also acceptable for 15 prescribed hours by the American Academy of Family Physicians. Several of the participating physicians were lavish in their praise of the program. Some mentioned its value, particularly to physicians practicing in smaller communities away from teaching hospitals. There were a fe·w 'drop-ins,' vacationing in St. Maarten but not part of the U B traveling party. The Mullet Bay resort is a sprawling, 172-acre complex of privately owned condominiums\'\ hich are rented to tourists and includes a fine 1 8-hole golf course, 18 lighted tennis courts, an unsurpassed hair -mile beach on the Caribbean and a wide variety of sailing and snorkling opportunities. When the U/B people ventured off the premises, they went to Philipsburg (Dutch) for shopping, or Marigol (French) for more shopping and exquisite cuisine (also available at five restaurants at Mullet Bay). An auto tour of the 31-square mile island brings out pleasing contrasts between the mountainous, competent-appearing Dutch part. and the pastoral. verdant French countryside. Hosts for the U B Alumni Association tour. in conjunction with the Med1cal Alumni Association and Continuing Dental Education were J. William Dock. Director, U /B Alumni Association, and John M.

First Aid Simulation Team and the Clifford C. Furnas College. Koslow has donated some 10-15 hours weekly during the past four years. He taught first aid courses and assisted with the American Red Cross Disaster Service; developed and evaluated disaster drill programs for area hospitals and served with the C.C. Furnas College 101 Program which provides recreation for mentally retarded youngsters and the elderly. He presented the set of books given with the A"" ard to C.C. Furnas College. where he is a resident. Alan's interest in serving others through volunteer work began as a teenager when he was involved in March of Dimes Walkathons, Earth Day and Earth Week programs in the New York City area. He also worked as a hospital volunteer in Queens. o FALL, 1976 45 A lon Kuslcllv �Honorary Degree For Or. Milgrom "G audeamus igitur juvenes dum sum us'' (let us join with joy) sang the chorus in the ''senat aula" (senate Hall) of the renowned University of V1enna during the award of an Honorary Doctor of ~ledicine degree to Dr. Felix Milgram on May 5th. This hono. culminates 30 ~ears as a creative scientist and educator for the professor and chairman of the SUNY AB department of microbiology. On graduation from the University of Wroclaw in 1946, the Polish-born physician joined its department of microbiology. Il was then cha1red by the noted bacteriologist/ immunologist, Dr. Ludwig Hirszfeld. Under the European system however an M.D. degree is not automatically awarded on completion of medical school. Rather, one must go through at least two years of research and additional examinations. On the basis of his thesis on developing a mass examination for syphilis, Or. Milgrom was granted an M.D. degree. ln 1951, a second degree, that of privat dozent which is equivalent to an American Ph.D. degree, was awarded to Dr. Milgram. He then proceeded through all of the steps in an academic career. In 1954. at the age of 34, starting as professor of microbiology. he was active in research. teaching. and editorial work. With Professor Hirszfeld and some of his associates. Dr. Milgram created the Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy at the Polish Academy of Sc1ence in \Vroclaw in 1954. After Hirszfeld's death lhal year. Dr. Milgrom became acting microbiology chairman as well as acting director of the Institute. Over the next three years (from 1954 to 1957) be was professor and chairman of the department of microbiology at the SiJesia School of Medicme in Zabrze-Rikilnica. Poland where he was instrumental in establishing a well-known group of young immunologists. After leaving Poland in 1957 and before arriving in this country, he was visitinR scientist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris where he worked with Professor Pierre Grabar, noted for his pioneering work in immunofluorescence. In April 1958, he accepted the invitation ofU tB's bacteriology and immunology chairman, Dr. Ernest Witebsky, to join his department. Here, his achievements again duplicated all of the steps of his earlier academic career. Starting with a professorship in 1963, after Dr. Witebsky's retirement in 1967 he was named chairman of the department (then renamed department of microbiology). a position he still holds. Together with Dr. Witebsk:y and other senior members of the local immunological community. he was instrumental in organizing U1B's Center for Immunology. Dr. Wilebsky served as its first director. During a particularly crucial time. following Dr. Witebsky's death and the departure of his successor, Dr. Noel Rose, Or. Milgram assumed the acting directorship of the Center. While his research activities are mainly in the field of tissue and tumor immunology, blood group. transplantation, there have also been important studies on natural antibodies as well as on the serodiagnosis of syphilis. rheumatoid arthritis and infectious 46 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �mononucleosis. He is also well known for his studies on tissue specificity. These have led to the discovery of a new category of tissue-specific antigens. And be has elucidated the nature of rheumatoid factor. and an antibody associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Together with Drs. Kyoichi Kano. David Hume, and Mel Williams, Dr. Milgrom discovered a form of renal graft rejechon which is mediated by humoral antibodies. Author of over 300 scientific publications, his scientific achievements rank him among the leading immunologists in the field. But he is also known as an outstanding teacher, having trained over 60 physicians and postdoctoral trainees who now hold key positions in academies in their own countries. University of Vienna's Professor Carl Steffan, who recommended Dr. Milgrom for this honorary degree, stated "in times of fragmentation of knowledge on immunology. only very few immunologists remain who are specialists of the forest rather than the trees. Dr. Milgrom is one of the few remaining classical immunologists without whom immunology could never penetrate so deeply and broadly into the many clinical disciplines we obsef\.e today." o A plaqw• ancl champagne for Dr. john Wright. professor and choirman of patholo[H'· "in appreciation of constant serv1ce to the Cl(JSS of 1978."

Jr. who comes here from Denver where he headed clinical services and research at Children's Asthma Research Institute and Hospital as well as served on the University of Colorado's medicine faculty for seven years. A graduate of Princeton University, he received the M.D. degree in 1950 from the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia, trained in medicine at Presbyterian Hospital in New York City and later was on its staff for almost a decade. He was among the first clinical associates of the National Heart Institute and trained in allergy at Roosevelt Hospital's Robert A. Cooke Institute of Allergy in New York City. ln explaining why he was attracted to Buffalo, the professor of medicine and pediatrics cited the excellent contributions of Drs. Carl Arbesman, Robert Reisman, Willard Elliott, Elliot Ellis, and others. "It was an opportunity to be associated with them on a broad range of clinical and research interests," he said. He also noted the strong support in Buffalo for allergic diseases and the hope of developing an open working relationship with area allergists and immunologists. Admitting to the usual funding problems faced by most medical departments due to decreased Federal support, Or. Middleton nevertheless plans many approaches to ensure the continuation of ongoing as well as new research programs and new faculty. With allergy clinics now operating at teaching hospitals (Buffalo General. Children's, E.J. Meyer Memorial. and Veterans). he hopes to develop training programs with emphasis on clinical experience and research at each of these institutions as well as to maintain educational ties with associated hospitals in the area. While four trainees are no\1', enrolled in the program, he looks for an eventual enrollment of six. Continuing. he pointed to the allergy patient load in Western New York as i:l heavy one. "Of a fifth of the nation's population who suffer from some kind of «llergy (these may include hay fever. poison ivy, and other sorts of immunological diseases) up to half are in need of treatment," he said. Teaching also presents an important challenge to Dr. Middleton in his role as allergy consultant and director. As a private practitioner for a number of years in Montclair, New Jersey and New York City, he is aware of the variety of allergy problems seen by physicians. He therefore hopes to provide allergy expertise to internists and pediatricians alike. But he a !so sees the need to touch on allergic d1sease problems of common interest to both physicians and nurses, to increase elective opportunities for medical students and residents. and to develop an increased awareness by the public on the nature and management of allergic diseases. Always stressed. he insists, will be excellence in pa tienl care. Research will continue to occupy much of his energy however. Not only will he be taking a closer look at the relationship of immunological and pharmacological aspects of allergic reactions but at the biochemical mechanisms involved as well. These are areas of longstanding interest to Dr. Middleton. 48 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �, Drs.

Dr. Middleton has published extensively and is editor-in-chief of a book, to be released in 1977, entitled Clinical Allergy: Principles and Practice. It is coauthored by Drs. Elliot Ellis o(U/B and Wisconsin's Charles Reed. A past president of the American Academy of Allergy, Dr. Middleton is also a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, a Diplomate of the American Board of Allergy and Immunology of which he was one of 12 original directors when it was established several years ago. He is also a member of the American Association of Immunologists. o FALL, 1976 49 �Dr Kulz Yearbook Honors F irst Woman Graduate, Two Professors Dr l.uc The first woman graduate of the ~tedical School Or. Mary Blair Moody. and t\\O professors were honored in the 1976 yearbook, The Iris. The medical students dedicated their yearbook to Drs. Leonard A. Katz ,tnd joseph C. Lee. On this c.entennial celebration of her graduation Dr. Mary Blair t-.loody was cited as being "among this country's first female ph~::;icians." Determined 10 become a physician at a lime when it was held by many thai 'no lady would wish to study medicine,' she maintained her resolve despite tremendous pressure to enter a more conventional field and r<~ceived her M.D. in 1867 with a prize in surgery. She was the fil·st female member of the Erie County Medical Society and had a long and productive career, practicing medicine in Buffalo, NPw Haven. and Berkeley, California, where she died in 1919. "In 1887. when women students at this School of Medicine formed their ftrsl alliance for 'mutual encouragement, support, and aid in matters social. educa tiona!, and professional.' il was to the memory of M.tt y Blair Moody that they dedicated their efforts. 1\0\\. a centur~ after her graduation, she serves as an inspiration to all of us. For she accomplished the unconventional. followed her heart rathet· than the social mores of the day, and excelled in her chosen profession. Let us all strive to do likewise." Or. Katz was cited "for his demonstrated leadership in clinical teachmg, his attention to the concerns of students, and his commitment to the very best in medical education, a commitment which has already been amply demonstrated in his first year as associate dean of Student and Curricular Affairs." The associate professor of medicine was also recognized for "being active ins tudcnt-faculty affairs. Within a year of his arrival in Buffalo in 1968 he became Coordinator of Third Year Medicine, and it is in this capacity that many of us came to know him. He was also active on the Student Affairs Committee throughout our medical school years, serving terms as both Vice-Chairman and Chairman. As Dean for Curricular Affairs Or. Katz is continuing to pursue a longstanding interest in innovative and more effective approaches to medical education. We are certain that the School of Medicine will profit immeasurably from his energetic and insightful leadership in this area." Dr. Lee, professor of anatomical sciences and research associate professor. was cited "for his original research, academtc honors, and publications. But it was hts less objective credentials- his energy, openness, and expansive human spirit which overwhelmed us as first year medical students. Dr. Lee believed that each student was worthy of the task before him. Although invohed in a heavy schedule of leaching and research, he was never too busy to answer our questions, and would often pose yet more probing questions to guide our further study. 50 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA'\J �"These were the indefinable qualities which so impressed us as we began our study of medicine. Now, as we graduate from medical school to begin another phase of our education, we realize that this first impression was indeed accurate. Or. Joseph Lee will always epitomize for us the very highest ideals of medical education." The senior class also recognized and thanked Mrs. Mary Shapiro, secretary to the associate dean of student and curricular affairs, and Or. John Richert, assistant dean and registrar, for their assistance and understanding. o The 1976 School of Medicine yearbook IS called The Iris, after the first \>earbook published in 1898. -Since the 1930's the yearbook has been The Medention and was published jointly by the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry. Th1s year each school has its own publication. Chief of Clinics Dr. John H. Peterson has been appointed as chief of clinics in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at The Buffalo General Hospital, with an objective of expanding and revising the OB-GYN clinics to better augment the Hospital's primary care (outpatient) program. Or. Peterson, clinical assistant professor of OB-GYN, succeeds Or. Paul K. Birtch, who moved from Buffalo to Florida in February. Or. Peterson will serve in the clinic post on a part-time basis, while continuing his full-time private practice in OB-GYN. whereas Or. Birtch had held the clinic posiUon on a full-time basis. Dr. Peterson rece1ved his medical degree from the State University of Buffalo School of Medicine in 1955, served his internship and residency at Buffalo General (with time out in between for two years as a Navy medical officer), and joined the attending staff at BGH in 1961. Or. Peterson said he was looking forward to working with Or. Robert L. Dickman. head of Ambulatory Services at BGH, "in impro\ ing the utilization of the OB-GYN clinics." Or. Peterson said the clinics would continue to be manned by volunteers from the medical staff and by residents. but that he also hoped to make use of nurse practitioners, as has been done successfully in the general medical clinics. In addition. he said he hoped to develop some new programs, including a special clinic for teenage mothers. Dr. Peterson noted that the OB-GYN clinics will continue to offer full OB-GYN services at BGH although, following the planned closing of the hospital's maternity unit this fall. most deliveries probably would be performed at the Children's Hospital. o FALL. 1976 51 /)r.

John Nutrition Conferences The nibbler- as opposed to the stuff and starve or meal-fed individual- may well be making himself more susceptible to certain diseases. That was the result of a series of experiments carried out by Upstate Medical Center's Dr. Jay Tepperman. He was the eighth in a series of nutrition lecturers sponsored by the department of biochemistry. In his review of what happens when you flood an experimental animal with nutrients in a nonsystematic manner he stressed agreement by many investigators on the stimulation of those hormones responsible for nutrient disposal. the periodic hyperinsulinemia and gastrointestinal tract adaptations that result. In simplified form, he presented the chain-reaction of events: -increased glucose absorption by intestinal epithelial cells as well as nutrient absorption; oxidation of substrates; periodic acute hyperinsulinemia; dual adaptation of body tissues (hepatic and adiposyte) through lipo / glycogenesis; circulating lipids (cholesterols, triglycerides); fat deposition; obesity; insulin res is lance. In the susceptible individual. there was decompensation of B cells. leading to diabetes mellitus. He believes that the above, when coupled with a sedentary life style, may well make one more susceptible to cardiovascular disease as well. He presented a strong case for changing the eating habits of a diabetic, that seven meals would more evenly spread their insulin deficiency over a 24-hour period. In another study he was able to point to not only what you eat but bow often that may predispose one to vascular disease. In yet another study, gallbladder weight was found to be significantly higher in the "stuff and starve" animal than in the normal one. In questioning whether periodic overeating may not lead to more 52 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �cholesterol gallstone formation. he suggested a change in feeding pattern to adjust the metabolism rate and reduce gallstone production. Still to be discovered. he concluded, are the differences in the ways we utilize our food. Nutrition is the most important en\ ironmental variable affecting health. That is what Dr. Robert Olson. the ninth in a series of nutrition lecturers sponsored by the department of biochemistr~, found after a decade of studying disease in Thailand. That tht·ee billion in the world suffer from malnutl'ition or its complications is a well-known fact. he said.

Many. the investigator from St Louis University continued. are chtldren, under five, half of whom will die each year in the third world. He appealed to the qualified "to take on the challenge of the extremely important area of nutrition." In treating the two extreme forms of protein /calory malnutrition among Thai children- marasmus (a dietary deficiency in protein and calories); kwashiorkor (malignant form of protein deficiency) - he and a team of investigators learned that determining adequate food intake requires all of the expertise available in the field of medicine. there can be no immediate feeding for there is little \'alue of protein during first week of hospitalization.

In-summary, "we think we have a worki ng hypothesis for adapting to the two extreme forms of protein/calory malnutrition in children," he said. And by sharing some of these problems, he hopes to emphasize the enormity of the public health aspects of malnutrition as well as the need for all allied health professionals "to lick it together."

''Most nutritional defects," he said, "arc !'eversible except for death." 54 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �After noting the smaller size of siblings born during the great famine in Europe. he, like other investigators. began to work with animals suckled in small and large litters. Growth was found to occur as a result of two separate processes. One is the initial or hyperplastic period ·when DNA content in tissue increases. The other is the linear or hypertrophic period when there is an increase in RNA and protein. The effect of malnutrition on the neonate? While there is a reduction in the number and size of cells.

"With animal models for malnutrition/environmental changes we are now able to shov\' its permanent effects," he said. "In most cases, animals exhibit decreased stability in response to an~ kind of challenge." While the role that vitamin K plays in the clotting process continues to baffle many investigators, a young biochemist from the University of Minnesota reports much progress. He is Dr. Gary Neselstuen, eleventh in a series of nutrition lecturers sponsored by the department of biochemis try. Although the importance of this vitamin was first no ted in The Netherlands in a blood clotting antibody disease among cows. Dr. Neselstuen turned to one of its most unique uses today. on farms where one of its antagonists. that of Dicararol, is used as a rat poison. Notmg that vitamin K lS found mainly in plants, microbial organisms. and animal products. he believes that its synthesis may take place in the digestive tract. the gut perhaps. But because the effect between this vitamin and hormones is a synergistic one, animals studies have been restricted to the male population. Believing most human diets to be sufficient in this vitamin, the investigator places its current nutritwnal importance as a therapeutic dosage. a supplement forK deficient newborns and in the very old. A labeling technique was used to study its very complex structure. "It revealed to us that very critical function which converts vitamin K into a clotting process," Dr. Neselstuen said. To learn its role in synthesizing prothrombin, a glycoprotein that is stored in the liver, he compared normal/abnormal forms of 56 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �vitamin K. noting similarities and d1fferences in physiological activation. calcium binding sites. etc. What he found was that in the clotting process. fibrinogen. a protein in the blood. is converted into insoluble fibrin which forms the blood clot. This conversion, he explained, is accomplished by another protein, that of thrombin. The biochemical unraveling of the way in which vitamin K produces active thrombin was a fascinating one. Diet may bet he key to our susceptibility to cancer. That is what Dr. T. Colon Campbell, the twelfth 10 a series of nutrition lecturers sponsored by thP department of biochemistry believes. Even though lO\\ levels of colon carcinoma were found to be associated ·with high fibre content diet among African populations. the relationship was not clearly a cause feffect one. The Cornell University nutrition expert explained that "the focus is now on the relationship of fat intake to breast and colon cancer." He reviewed other factors - those of age. sex. exposure to other chemical compounds. etc.- that may also be implicated in the increase of colon carcinoma that we are seeing in this country. Turning to the fundamental mechanisms for producing environmental carcinogens. he pointed to those different bacteria. "the anerobic ones. In an anerobic environment, enzyme act1vity converts bile acids/ nutrile steroids to produce colon carcinogens."

Noted was a 75 percent drop in enzyme activity. This metabolizes the carcinogen, he added. It is this metabolic event which be believes to be critical to initiation of cancer lesions. But not onlv was protein deficiency found to increase liver toxicity lesions !Jut the to·<icity of most chemical compounds as well. Even vitamin deficiency- those of "A", "C", riboflavin, lipotrope -were found to affect carcinogen susceptibility, he said. Reinforcing the important role of nutrition in fighting disease. he was able to point to 80-90% of all cancers in humans that are caused by environmental carcinogens. "These must first be metabolized, ri process that occurs with large enzyme involvement in the liver." Or. Campbell concluded. Environmental factors are not the only cause of heart trouble. according to Dr. Donald 8. lih ersmit. professor in the division of nutritional sciences rlt Cornell Unh·ersity. "Antibiotic and genetic forces play an imporl,!nt role." The educator-~>cientis t pointed out that cigarette smoking and hypertension increase C<lnliac disease. "Diabetes and psychologic<tl problems also increase the de\ielopment of lesions in our coronary <lrtPries," he said. In his illuslrnted lecture Dr. Zilversmit showed what happens when you feed l<H~e amounts of cholesterol to experimental rabbits. "The c holesterol infiltrates the arterial wall where it is held by 58 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �bonding to the mucopolysaccharide and builds atherogenic lesions which are similar to those developed in man. These animals developed arteriosclerosis very rapidly." The Cornell University professor pointed out that people utilize their foods differently. "Some people have an active, high removal apparatus that remo\·es cholesterol from the blood. while others don't." Dr. Zilversmit mentioned four avenues of cholesterol build-up: - there is clinical evidence that patients with heart disease have a high serum cholesterol level; arterial lesions are composed of cholesterol and other lipids in minor amounts; there is epidemiological evidence that there is a correlation bet ween cholesterol concentration and coronary heart disease (heart disease is a btg killer in the United States. Canada, Australia, and New Zealand as compared to South America and Africa.) experimental evidence shows that when animals (pigs, rabbits, monkeys) are fed an improper diet they develop arterial lesions caused by the high cholesterol level. "The Masai people who have a high milk and blood diet were thought not to have atherosclerosis. This was based on the fact that they do long distance runmng and strenuous exercise. However, in recent autopsy studies atherosclerotic plaques were found," Or. Zilversmit said. In conclusion Or. Zilversmit made several observations: most people have ignored chylomicrons as an athero-genetic particle; when animals are fed a cholesterol diet the plasma beta-lipoprotein band increases; - normally the lipids undergo hydrolysis and esterification incJthe liver; · Front Ro~\ · Ov1d D. kn1 ~ht.

"If you are malnourished you are more susceptible to disease and infection." This is what medical students and faculty heard from Dr. Joseph Vitale in the last nutrition lecture sponsored by the biochemistry department. Dr. Vitale is professor of pathology and community medicine at the Boston University School of Medicine. "A malnourished child who has measles may die. Very often it is the combination of the disease and an improper diet that causes death." Dr. Vitale discussed the factors and interaction involved in cellular and humoral immunology. He also focused upon other aspects of the host defense system in his illustrated lecture. "More cooperation and understanding is needed between nutritionists and immunologists. Nutritionists are not immunologists and vice \ersa. These two groups must get togetherget married." Or. Vitale said. He admitted that infectious disease and nutritional deficiencies were cumbersome to discuss and understand. "We are making progress, but we still have a long way to go." 60 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The Boston University professor pointed out the importance of the environment. "Where you live and how you live is \·ita) in maintaimng good health. Often environment causes disease." Or. Vitale pointed out that there is often a fine line between a malnourished and undernourished patient. "In Kwashiorkor patients there may be several nutritional deficiencies. In the past we only saw this type of patient in Asia or Africa, but today we are seeing them in our teaching hospitals in the United States." In discussing the effects of saturated and polyunsaturated fats in our diets Or. Vitale wondered whether it was better to die from a heart disease or from cancer. In conclusion Dr. Vitale said, "iron deficiency is part of malnutrition. There are an alarming number of young and old people deficient in iron. It is a world-wide problem." o Dr. Capraro Dr. Capraro Dr. Vincent J. Capraro has been appointed chairman of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Millard Fillmore Hospital.

These past few months have been fleeting ones in which a great deal of constructive activity has transpired. Although it is impossible to recount each and every event, you should be pleased to know that three chairmanship vacancies were filled with individuals with outstanding credentials as people and academicians. Dr. Elliot Ellis has assumed the Chair in Pediatrics; Dr. Monte Blau in Nuclear Medicine; and Dr. Ted Carr in Pharmacology and Therapeutics. Three Search Committees are at work seeking new and permanent leadership for the faculties of Ophthalmology, Neurology, and Biophysical Sciences. This past spring the School of Medicine enjoyed an expansion of its faculty capacity, and department chairmen and faculty committees are at work seeking appropriate talent to fill the new positions. Already, a dozen well-qualified physicians and scientists have been recruited to the School of Medicine and the Buffalo community. The first year class is off to a good start, and the feedback from the faculty is that the class is a cohesively strong one which is already making contributions to our institution's life. These students combined with their three classes of predecessors are serving to lift our morale and to enhance the institution's image. Ali-in-all the momentum and thrust have been positive and the School of Medicine through its faculty and students is approaching the future with appropriate optimism and as a challenge. This is not to say that all is totally well and that difficult times are not ahead of us. Quite to the contrary. This School just as the other 113 medical schools in the nation are faced with many challenges in the immediate future. But the faculty and students are prepared to deal with these problems, and that, in itself, creates a spirit of creative optimism. Two problems that will be dealt with in the immediate future are those which relate to growth of the medical student body and development of programs at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels in primary care. At first glance these two issues may not appear as related. The first, of course, grows out of the need to provide more physician graduates as well as to provide educational opportunities to a larger number of gifted students and the ·latter to meet a deferred deficit in the society. However, the latter cannot be satisfied in reality until the pool on the input side is expanded. Therefore, the two are interrelated and that is why the faculty will attack them simultaneously. There are even more difficult and challenging problems lying ahead of us. These will be in the areas of financing medical education and medical faculties. I will address these in future issues of The Buffalo Physician, but suffice it to say for now that in the years ahead this School of Medicine, along with the others, will require strength and support through partnership between the public and private sectors. The Alumni are an important part of that partnership. Sincerely yours, John Naughton, M .D .

WINTER, 1975 1 �''I Dr. Rasmussen skin testing antigens for ringworm study. really don ' t know what I want to do, " Dr. James Rasmussen remarked as he reviewed the varied clinical research studies he has underway at Children's Hospital. When he came to Buffalo two years ago after completing a dermatology residency in Oregon, he did not know whether to become more involved in the clinical or research aspects of dermatologic problems. But in his coping with an ever-growing number of these problems in children, he continues to search for better techniques of diagnosis and treatment. A common dermatologic problem that he most often sees in the one to ten-year olds is that of atopic eczema. Questionably linked to allergy, he is working with Clinical Research Center director and chairman of pediatrics Dr. Elliot Ellis in pinpointing its many clinical parameters . " We are measuring serum IgE levels in these patients," the young assistant professor of dermatology explained, " for ' E' is linked to specific allergens in some patients. " Another study he has underway centers on the percutaneous absorption of steroids in patients with atopic eczema. Measuring uptake of drugs in the young patient with varied diseases is important, he said . There is considerable concern that topical steroids may cause the same systemic side effects as parenteral ones . And in ringworm, one of the questions he is asking is why its causative agent, that ofT. Tonsurans, causes two varieties of this disease, one more inflammatory than the other. " No one has looked into its immunological responses ," he notes as he points to human investigations that he now has underway. Another interesting disease that dermatologists are seeing a lot of is scabies. " We will skin test our patients to determine whether certain forms of this disease are caused by an allergy to the mite and not only its physical irritation," he continued. And because many drugs do not seem to work well under certain conditions, a study on their effectiveness may soon be underway. From several retrospective studies there is some evidence to support this, he said, especially in erythema multiforme, in the Stevens Johnson Syndrome where severe lesions affect eyes, mouth or genitalia. In one study, half of these patients were treated by systemic steroids, the method of choice over the past quarter century. Because they did much worse than those untreated, Dr. Rasmussen now encourages clinicians not to treat these patients with steroids. A relatively new disease that seems to occur exclusively in children is toxic epidermal necrolysis. Here, staphylococcus aureus colonize skin and membrane, and liberate a toxin. " Patients with this bacterial disease do not seem to respond to therapy. They get better with or without treatment," he said. Now testing samples of organisms from those who are recovering is Oregon's Dr. Kirk Wuepper. " He has developed and labelled antibody to the toxin as well as a radioimmunoassay to measure antibody response in the patient," Dr. Rasmussen pointed out. He feels that spontaneous resolution of TEN may be due to the progressive rise in an antibody to the toxin . 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Pediatricians learn about dermatological problems from Dr. Rasmussen. A special dermatology program has been developed by Dr. Rasmussen for the mentally retarded and Mongoloid population at the West Seneca School. Dermatology residents who accompany him there one day a month note that skin diseases most common there are acne, severe dermatitis, warts, Norwegian scabies, and the worst forms of atopic eczema. He has also opened an occupational contact dermatitis clinic. " It is the leading cause of occupational disability in the community," he pointed out. " Half the settlements from Workmen's Compensation are earmarked for skin disease." Patients will be patch tested with suitable concentrations of suspected sensitizers common in a heavily-industrialized community such as Western New York. "We can develop technology, tools, and good information for patients," he said. A standard tray of 20 to 30 allergens may pick up to 70-80 percent of the problems seen in the community. " Few people are interested in this area," he said. As a pediatric derma to logist, Dr. Rasmussen is able to pass on a " fair amount of inrormation to pediatricians - how to culture for fungus, diagnose forT . Tonsurans on the scalp, to identify Herpes virus for a better diagnosis. " He feels he has probably done more teaching to them than to those in his specialty. " The clinician can be trained to care for most of the common skin diseases such as warts, acne. " Concluded Dr. Rasmussen, " he need only refer the touchy ones to the dermatology consultant. " WINTER, 1975 3 Drs. Rasmussen and Ellis study adrenal function on patient with percutaneous absorption of steroids. �Drs. Lore and Shedd find that patient is doing well following surgrcal treatment for head and neck cancer. Head, Neck Cancer Network DETECTION of head and neck cancer or precancerous lesions improves treatment and survival of the patient. And a multidisciplinary approach may often help reduce impairment of function and disfigurement that is apt to occur with this disease as well as measures used in its control. To improve access to and communication of clinic.a~ findings and resources for the practicing physiCian and other health professionals, a number of head and neck cancer control networks have been formed. They are funded by the National Cancer Institute, whose commitment to narrowing the gap between research and patient care extends to other areas of cancer as well. There are similar networks for breast cancer and lymphomas. Instrumental in establishing the Buffalo-based Eastern Great Lakes Head and Neck Cancer Control Network have been two teams. One is under Dr. John M. Lore , Jr., chairman of the University department of otolaryngology. The other is headed by Dr. Donald P. Shedd, chief of Roswell Park Memorial Institute's department of head and neck surgery. Both teams, points out University project coordinator Dr. Sol Kaufman, are developing continuing education/ information programs and a data system for studying cancer patient management. The design and testing of a standard set of data forms for use by attending clinicians is now underway. " They will provide a comprehensive yet concise description of diagnostic procedures, treatment, rehabilitative measures, and patient followup," he said. Not only will clinical information be tabulated and analyzed locally but it will be pooled with that of other Networks. Head and neck cancer management guidelines have been developed cooperatively among all networks. " They are to be used by the individual clinician, at his discretion," Dr. Lore pointed out. Not strict protocols, rather they represent ongoing group consensus on the range of accepted management alternatives. Through a monthly publication, area professionals are kept informed of Network activities and data analysis. Said Dr. Kaufman, " clinicians will also have access to a comprehensive file of papers and texts as well as audiovisual materials that are now being compiled." Not only will clinicians be invited to attend special lectures, head and neck conferences, and clinics, but they will have easier access to con- EARLY 4 From library of v ideotapes, Dr. Stanley S cott, clin ical ins tructor in oral medicine, selects one on maxillofacial pros thetics at Netwo rk's new headquarters in S isters Hospital. �A head and neck conference for those who care for patients with head and neck problems. sultation if they have problem cases. In discussiRg the role that primary care practitioners play in initial detection, Dr. Lore cited the necessity of a thorough head and neck examination for each patient " to more readily spot early lesions that require specialized care." A concentrated effort will be mounted to stimulate increased emphasis and care by primary care physicians in the early recognition of these lesions. So important is early detection of asymptomatic or precancerous lesions in the mouth and throat that a public education program showing how a self examination can be conducted, with the aid of a light/mirror device has begun. Area dentists will also be able to observ~ methods of prevention and 'treatment at an oral diagnostic service established by Dr. Alan J. Drinnan. Said the chairman of the University department of oral medicine, "we hope it will serve as a model for dental care as well as a learning center for dentists. " Not only will area dentists be able to refer patients with suspicious lesions but they will be encouraged to view the variety of oral cancers seen and treated there. "Patients referred to the Service for marginally-suspicious lesions are less likely to have their fears aroused, " he said. There is a need to identify those at higher risk and to develop special programs for this group, points out Dr. Lore . The strong association of oral, laryngeal, pharyngeal, and esophageal cancers with tobacco and alcohol, especially for the 50-plus male is well documented. But, h(j-WJNtER, 1975 An oral diagnosis by Drs. Stanley ]. Scott, Stuart L. Fischman, Alan ]. Drinnan and Mrs. Eileen Kania, dental assistant. �John Grabau looks over head and neck cancer data from local hospitals. adds, "we shall continue to evalute links with other factors as well." Knowledgeable and prompt management of early signs of head and neck cancer are now yielding very encouraging results. These, he continued, are not only in control of the disease, but of great importance in minimal interference with normal function and in achievement of good cosmetic results. But when the disease is advanced he pointed to the more challenging problems of care and rehabilitation .faced by both patient and physician. "The head and neck oncologist," he said, "must weigh the devastating natural course of the disease versus radical surgery, radical radiotherapy, and intensive chemotherapy." He pointed to a variety of problems involving chewing, swallowing, speech, pain, odor, and loss of self-image that a patient may develop. Even with control of the disease, if these sequelae of the advanced stage and its treatment are not corrected to the extent possible, then he feels there may well be grave psychological, social, and vocational consequences to both patient and family. Drs. Kaufman, Lore, and Shedd review seminar schedule. Dr. Ahmed Uthman shows patient how to self examine oral cavity, face, and neck while dental hygienist Ann D'Amore instructs patient 011 self examination of the mouth. Dr. Uthman is at! associate professor of oral medicine. Of the 15,000 to 20,000 in this country who annually undergo radical surgical or radiotherapeutic procedures for head and neck cancer, significant numbers have problems like those noted above. " There may also be breathing difficulties, aspiration, sensory organ loss, cranial nerve impairment or muscular disability," Dr. Lore continued. But he noted that " rehabilitative measures that include surgical reconstruction, prosthetic appliances, and retraining (as in learning esophageal speech), can often dramatically restore function and appearances to these patients." He feels that it is through a team effort that these measures, along with wise selection of a total plan for treatment, are most effectively carried out. Included on the team may be surgeons, otolaryngologists, radiation therapists, chemotherapists, specially-trained nurses , prosthodontists, dentists, speech pathologists, psychiatrists, and social workers. Assures Dr. Lore, " we, at the Eastern Great Lakes Head and Neck Cancer Control Network, are committed to advancing cancer prevention, control, rehabilitation and improving both survival and the quality of life for the patient. " THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Bernard H. Smith is the new acting chairman of the department of neurology. He has been on the faculty and at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital as chief attending neurologist since 1953. Dr. Smith received his M.B., Ch.B. that is equivalent to the American M.D. with first class honors in 1940 from Aberdeen University in Scotland. A decade later he earned a diploma in physiological medicine at London University and a formal Doctorate in Medicine in 1956. Before coming to Buffalo Dr. Smith was a Fellow, Montreal Neurological Institute; . Lecturer in Neurology, McGill University; Assistant in Outdoor Clinics, Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal (1951- Neurology Head 53). Dr. Smith is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London and of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. He is also a Foundation Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. From 1940-46 Dr. Smith served in the Royal Army Medical Corps. From 1946-50 he had postgraduate training in medicine and neurology in Scotland and London. During 1950-51 he was a Fellow in the departments of internal medicine and psychiatry at Cincinnati General Hospital. At the present time Dr. Smith is also a consultant neurologist to various area hospitals and institutions. He is a professor of neurology. Dr. Elliot F. Ellis, professor of pediatrics, is the new chairman of the department of pediatrics at the Medical School. He has a three-year appointment. He joined the faculty in 1974 and has been acting chairman of the pediatrics department since June. Before coming to Buffalo he was a member of the University of Colorado's pediatrics department. Professor Ellis received his M.D. degree from Western Reserve University. He served his internship at Lenox Hill Hospital and residency at The Babies Hospital, ColumbiaPresbyterian Medical Center, New York. In addition to his faculty appointments, Dr. Ellis is also director of the Clinical Research Center and the Division of Allergy and Immunology at Children' s Hospital. He is director, American Board of Allergy and Immunology. He also is a member of the Society for Pediatric Research, as well as a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Allergy. WINTER, 1975 7 Dr. Smith Pediatrics Chairman Dr. Ellis �Alcoholism Dr. Block Most alcoholics in this country today are unaware that they are suffering from this disease. And they would deny it if so diagnosed. That's what Dr. Marvin A. Block, a leader in the field of alcoholism believes. The Emeritus Associate Professor of Medicine also states that the abuse of alcohol in this country is more serious than in any other. Because accepted definitions of alcoholism only describe its advanced stages, he feels that more attention should be given to recognition of its early stages that are often missed. One is an alcoholic, he says, when drinking has any adverse effect whatever on the individual, consistent with ingestion of alcohol. In response to who is an alcoholic, " it can be practically anyone," Dr. Block said. " It is no respecter of age, sex or economic status. Even newborns have been diagnosed as alcoholics. In pregnant women who drink excessively, the so-called fetal syndrome points to the drug crossing the placenta into the fetus ' bloodstream." That certain cultural areas are more prone to alcoholism than others was pointed out by Dr. Block. " Very often the disadvantaged and frustrated who turn to this drug to make their lives more tolerable become alcoholics." So has been the case with the first generation of Irish Catholics. And with the American Indian whose confinement to the Reservation and inability to integrate into the mainstream of American society made him more susceptible to alcoholism, once introduced to the drug. But evidence points to alcoholism resulting from the genetic factor as well. Over half the alcoholics interviewed reveal a history of one or both parents who were alcoholics, while in the laboratory alcoholic strains of mice from adult to offspring have been developed. That one of every 15 adults in this country and one of every ten who drink become alcoholics, Dr. Block believes, may be a conservative estimate. " There may well be twice the number of nine million estimated alcoholics. Many remain undiagnosed and we are not yet proficient in recognizing early signs. " Aiding those alcoholics who are unrecognized are social pressures to drink as well as tolerance for drunken behavior. Unaware of their illness are the victims themselves. " Denial is one of the characteristics of this disease," Dr. Block points out. But in those who drink too much but are not necessarily alcoholics, there may also be unsteady gait, slurred speech, carelessness of appearance. While one can be an alcoholic without these outer signs, reaction time and judgment may still be impaired in the individual who has developed a tolerance to the drug. By accepting drunken behavior, Dr. Block believes that a family may well be encouraging the drinking problems of the alcoholic. And because an alcoholic husband may insist that his wife accompany him, she often drinks and becomes an alcoholic herself. Important is the need for every physician to detect this illness at its incipient stage. Dr. Block stresses a nonjudgmental attitude when taking a careful but detailed history. If personal feelings are not betrayed by the physician via the raise of an eyebrow, a smile, a shrug of the head, a suggestion of criticism, he feels that an accurate history can usually be obtained. And he cautions on the need for physician awareness of his own drinking habits. " They may affect his attitude toward his patient' s drinking habits. " If doubts are raised, a patient must be warned of his drinking pattern by the physician. 8 THE BU FFALO PHYSIC IAN �Equally important to pinpointing why a person drinks is the amount, when, and the times when drinking is inappropriate. The latter indicates early alcoholism, says Dr. Block. While drinking to achieve a drug effect is the beginning of drug dependency, loss of control is the key. " Most alcoholics," he continued, " will deny it. They will insist they can take it or leave it. But of the two alternatives, they never leave it alone. " While alcoholism is an old disease, its designation as one by the American Medical Association in 1956 gave it respectability. " That was perhaps my greatest accomplishment," notes Dr. Block. He believes that a patient may well make his own diagnosis when defining who is an alcoholic. While the usual impression is that of a skid-row bum, patients recognize that they did not start out in this manner. And by working backward from this definition, they often see themselves as one 20 years hence. " They may recognize that they are drinking more than their bodies can handle," Dr. Block pointed out. While an average healthy 150-pound individual can drink an ounce of whiskey over an hour's time without damage to his body, any excess of this toxic substance over a period of time may physiologically damage the liver, throat, heart, brain or digestive system. Over half the automobile accidents, statistic's point out, are due to excessive use of alcohol. And there are more fatalities as a result than from any war in which Americans have participated. While most of its victims are young - the most vocal group of protesters against war - there is little heard from them against driving while drunk. For Dr. Block, what remains a mystery is the sale of alcoholic beverages on college campuses. " I cannot understand why those who pursue a career or are getting an education must take a drug that is not only addictive but acts as a sedative. It reduces one's acuity and attention span." Dr. Block became interested in psychosomatic medicine after graduating from U/B Medical School. He did postgraduate work in London, Paris and Vienna. During his internship he saw so many of the socalled geographis abdomens :- bellies scarred by numerous surgical procedures they looked like maps - that he began to look into the rationale behind so much surgery. What he found was that emotional problems focused on an individual's organs. " Exploratory surgery was an attempt to find the cause of their problems," he said. This was prior to the days of tissue committees when surgery was done more cavalierly. Few organic problems, however, were uncovered. Challenged in the late forties by a former classmate, a recovered alcoholic, he began to study the problems of alcoholism. He found little or nothing done until alcoholics reached a nadir in their lives. " There was no attempt at rehabilitation," he said. With proper treatment and patient awareness on early recognition to prevent tragedy, he is convinced that rehabilitation can lead the alcoholic to a healthier, more productive life. Following a look around, he and a physician friend formed a committee on alcoholism in the local County Medical Society. This was followed by a similar one in the State Society, and an eventual AMA committee on alcoholism - its first committee - with Dr. Block as its first chairman. d- WINTER, 1975 9 �Old School Student Directories If you have a copy or knowledge of Medical School Directories that list medical students at U/ B from 1973-74 on back, this year's editor of the student publication would appreciate hearing from you .

All donated copies will be turned over to the History of Medicine librarian at the Health Sciences Library by Ira L. Salam. In their meetings with the Council on Mental Health, he recalls the difficulties in convincing its all-psychiatrist membership that alcoholism was a disease. After several years of Committee education of physicians at both county and state levels around the country on alcoholism problems, the AMA 's House of Delegates voted to designate alcoholism as a disease. " Within the purview of medical practice, it urged all physicians to treat alcoholics as other patients," Dr. Block said. Emphasized was the importance of early recognition of the alcoholic, how to treat and rehabilitate the private patient as well as those placed in jails and institutions for public inebriation. There is no general treatment for alcoholics, Dr. Block said. " It must be tailormade for the individual. Recovery rates for those in proper programs now range between 70 and 80 per cent. The public mu s t be educated on this disease that responds to proper treatment," h e said. Many progressive industrial organizations have recognized the need and are now offering such programs to their alcoholic employees. " It is endorsed by Unions as well," he noted. There is no question for Dr. Block that very young children mu st be trained to live fruitful lives without drugs . " We must not wait until the use of drugs over the years leads to illness," he said. Because alcohol is a seductive drug that will " do anything you want it to ," many inadequate people depend on it for a false sense of instant but illusory success or courage. He feels parents must set examples for their children, help them to live lives without dependency on drugs . " Children see and hear more than parents give them credit for," he said. " And they will imitate to a great extent. " For the proper raising of children, he feels exemplary parental behavior is mandatory. Too many parents rely on the schools to do so . Children learn best in a family setting. While they need to learn about the addictive powers of alcohol as well, the mass media stresses too much drinking and the glamour side of those who drink. He feels that the other side is learned much too late. Another deterrent to better legislation is tax revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages. All too often tragedy results from drinking drivers. After accidents, some go unpunished or the punishment is so slight as to have no deterrent effect whatever. And what may well have started out as a pleasant social amenity or lubricant may eventually point up the poverty of an individual who requires alcohol. Speculating on the many who may have started out to drink as others do , to enjoy the inhibition reduction produced by alcohol, Dr. Block points to more and more of the drug being used to get the desired result, an eventual physiological dependency on the drug that leads to addiction. Care for the alcoholic, he states, begins with drug withdrawal. " It is just as with any other addiction." He cites the need for complete abstinence for one addicted to any drug, that includes alcohol. And through rehabilitation and re-education, one can learn to live without drugs in a complex, oft-times unhappy world, he says. The well-trained physician should be able to treat the alcoholic while providing insight and understanding. " He must like these patients, be sympathetic and empathize," Dr. Block said. Other adjuncts to treatment include drugs (the deterrent ones), Alcoholics Anonymous, etc. With his entire practice made up of alcoholic patients, Dr. Block 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �believes "these people are almost without exception worthwhile, talented, capable, and sensitive. Perhaps that is what makes them so attractive to me." He believes the key to the problem lies in education and prevention. The first audio-visual material on alcoholism has been produced by the World Health Organization. Now translated into every language, it is the first attempt to reach everyone on this ubiquitous topic. Sums up Dr. Block, " not only must we teach our children to understand the kind of world we would like it to be, but to live in the real world as it is." Dr. Block, M'25, has been active in the field of alcoholism since the late forties and has served on local, state, regional, national and international boards in this field . He has lectured and published extensively. In 1953 he was honored by the American Academy of Family Practice, and two years later was named one of Buffalo's outstanding citizens by the Buffalo Evening News. He also earned the Lane Bryant Citation in 1958, the Malvern Institute Citation of Merit in 1963, the Award of Honor from Wisdom Society in 1966. Six years later he received the First Citation and Medal of the American Medical Society on Alcoholism for outstanding contributions to the field . He now teaches a 60-hour course at U/ B's Clifford Furnas College,' has lectured at many campuses around the world over the years, and still speaks extensively on the subject today~() Nuclear Medidne Chairman Dr. Monte Blau, research professor of nuclear medicine and biophysical sciences, is the new chairman of the department of nuclear medicine. The 49-year-old investigator who is also a research scientist at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, succeeds acting chairman Dr. Merrill A . Bender. After earning his Ph.D . degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1952 he did research there and at Yale over the next two years on radiocarbon dating, as well as at Montefiore Hospital for a year on isotope studies on calcium metabolism. He joined the U/B faculty in 1954 and worked in immunochemistry studies at Roswell Park Memorial Institute's department of biochemical research. In 1957 he moved into nuclear medicine to work on the development of instrumen . tation such as large organ photo scanners and radioactive pharmaceuticals that included localizing agents for brain and bone tumors as well as the pancreas. Dr. Blau, who is noted for his contributions to the field of nuclear medicine has over 60 publications. He has served as a radiation medicine consultant to India and the French Atomic Energy Commission as well as on a number of international advisory panels and committees. The former head of the National Society of Nuclear Medicine is a member of the American Association for Cancer Research, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, and the American Chemical Society. <'> WINTER, 1975 11 Dr. Blau �The new Pho gamma IV gamma camera with movable table top, microdot and integral minicomputer was added to the nuclear radiology armamentarium at the Meyer in 1975. The Department of Radiology R adiology is a clinical department of the Medical School, based at several of the University affiliated and associated hospitals . The department embraces the spheres of radio-diagnosis , radiation oncology, and nuclear radiology . The activities include extensive clinical services in each of the hospitals , teaching of medical students , house officers , and practicing radiologists as well as modest research activities . The chairman is Dr. Eugene V. Leslie, who also serves as director of radiology at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. An outstanding new department of pediatric radiology opened at Children's Hospital in 1972. Directed by Dr. Jerald Kuhn, professor of radiology and associate professor of pediatrics, it was planned to give optimal patient care in a lively, bright environment where rooms are excellently equipped . Dr. Leslie notes that the facilities were designed for " continual teaching activities that are a hallmark of the department. " 12 D r. Eugene Les lie, clinical p rofessor and chairman of the Depa rtmen t of Radrology at the Medical School. �Dr. Gordon Culver, clinical professor of radiology and dean of Buffalo radiologists, directs radiology at the Buffalo General Hospital. This hospital has over a century of tradition as a university-teaching hospital and the radiology department has been engaged in service and teaching activities since World War I. Dr. Berten Bean may have been the first practicing neuroradiologist in the United States, according to Dr. Leslie. After special training in Sweden, he commenced practicing neuroradiology at the Buffalo General Hospital in 1951. The department of radiology at the Deaconess Hospital, directed by Dr. Roy Seibel, clinical associate professor of radiology, has been a focus of activity for the senior elective program for many years. " This department," said Dr. Leslie, "reflects his own dedication to excellence in service and teaching." Additional first-rate teaching activities are centered in the hospital departments of radiology at the Millard Fillmore Hospital where Dr. F. Richard Sheehan, clinical assistant professor df radiology, is the director; at the VA Hospital, where Dr. Kamillo Flachs, clinical associate professor of radiology, is the director; at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, where Dr. Ethlyn Jennings, clinical assistant professor of radiology, is the director; at the Sisters of Charity Hospital, where Dr. Robert O'Connor heads the program. He is a clinicar associate in radiology at the Medical School.

" Both offer senior electives which provide the students a remarkable opportunity to familiarize themselves not only with radiation therapy but more properly with radiation oncology," Dr. Leslie said. At the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital there are 12 faculty members actively engaged in the practice and teaching of radiology. Dr. Victor A. Panaro, associate director and clinical professor, is a bellweather of the teaching staff, according to Dr. Leslie. " His consultations are much sought after and are known to have great teaching value and not inconsiderate entertainment value as well. Dr. George J. Alker, Jr. , an indefatigable worker and clinical professor , heads the neuroradiology section while Dr. Hussein Dayem, clinical associate professor, directs the nuclear radiology and radiation therapy at the Meyer. The G.I. section is under the tutelage of Dr. Maria Andres, clinical assistant professor. She is the author of over 50 papers on gastroenterologic radiology and pharmacology. Dr. Bhupendra Mepani, clinical assistant professor, directs vascular radiology and Dr. Malati Jagabandu , clinical assistant professor, is in charge of pediatric radiology. During 1974 and 1975 the Meyer departmental operation has been automated. " The new minicomputer will markedly augment the service to patients and the physicians. We hope to introduce some computer capability into th(j- �teaching program as well," Dr. Leslie said. There are approved residency programs in radiation therapy at the Buffalo General Hospital and Roswell Park Memorial Institute. A new University-wide diagnostic radiology residency will replace existing general radiology programs using the facilties and faculty at the Meyer, General, Children's, Deaconess, Millard Fillmore, and Veterans Administration Hospitals as well as Roswell Park Memorial Institute.

"The radiology teaching program for medical students is wholly elective, although there is abundant exposure to radiology throughout the clinical years. A large number of excellent electives are offered throughout the medical school curriculum. In the preclinical years, traditionally Dr. Edward G. Eschner' s course RGY -600M, introduction to diagnostic radiology, has been extremely popular with the sophomores. Dr. Eschner is a clinical professor of radiology at the Medical School.

Since initiating an elective curriculum, about one-half of the senior class has taken a month of radiology. Eight or ten students arrange for an out-of-town university elective, according to Dr. Leslie. For the 1975-76 year, 89 seniors have opted for a radiology elective, 77 of them in Buffalo. " This is the largest number to date and we hope to eventually encourage all seniors to take such an elective." Dr. Leslie is proud of the Radiologic Learning Center that opened last November, after three years of effort and planning. It is funded jointly by the County of Erie and the University. It is housed in refurbished space in Old School #84 on the Meyer Hospital campus. There a physics section headed by Mr. Fred Hubbard , a teaching file section led by Dr. Yunus Barodawala, clinical assistant professor. A selfcontained X-ray unit and phantoms are part of the physics area. The teaching file, core of the program, is under the tutelage of Dr. "B" (Mepani). " It represents a superlative opportunity to learn radiology and medicine. The concept was originally developed at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center and the file is now being marketed through the American College of Radiology. We were among the first 20 universities to incorporate this largely selfinstructional facility into our teaching program. " The teaching file is now being updated nationally and the department is participating in this in the head and neck area. The time and effort involved in developing this program has been rewarding. The student response has been excellent. We look forward to increased use by students as well as by residents and practicing radiologists, " Dr. Leslie concluded. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �New Associate Dean Dr. Leonard A . Katz is the new associate dean for student and academic affairs at the Medical School. He assumed his new duties April 1. For the 39-year-old associate professor of medicine who has served on the U/ B faculty since 1968, headed E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital's clinical gastroenterology program and served on Buffalo General, Children' s, Veterans and Roswell Park Memorial Institute staffs , " there is a change." He sees the Medical School moving from a difficult period into a new era which can be very exciting. " We have a very good faculty, very good students, and the time is right for us to move ahead. " What attracted Dr. Katz to the new post was the arrival of a dean (Dr. John Naughton) , who brings an extraordinary background as well as administrative talents to Buffalo from George Washington University. " Dr. Naughton had great success in curriculum revision and in improving the whole range of student services and admissions procedures there," he said. One of Dr. Katz ' first concerns will be to develop a new Office of Medical Education. " We will be fully implementing a faculty study completed in the Jate sixties," he noted. And by building on the efforts of an effective faculty/ student curriculum committee, educational goals and priorities will be reassessed . Student related activities will also be reorganized and expanded. They range from financial aid , student advisement, registrar activities , to curriculum development and evaluation as well as gathering more data on postgraduate training opportunies. " We are now following up on our graduates and asking· that they send us evaluations of their internship and residency programs for use by students here, " Dr. Katz said. He looks forward to the challenge of an expanded administrative role. During his seven years at U/ B, he gained much experience in curriculum planning and evaluation as well as in other student/ academic activities . A Fellow of the American College of Physicians he is also a member of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and the American Gastroenterological Association. The Buffalo-born gastroenterologist, who now heads the GI Liver Society of Western New York , has contributed over 20 publications to the field. Dr. Katz completed undergraduate training at Yale where he also spent two years as a postgraduate Fellow in gastroenterology, following an internship and residency at Albert Einstein 's Bronx Municipal Hospital Center. A medical degree was awarded him in 1961 by Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, where he was a member of Alpha Omega Alpha Honorary Society. He completed two years of service with the United States Air Force before coming to Buffalo. WINTER , 1975 17 Dr. Katz �Or. Judith Lehotay studies slide of insulinoma. Trained as a physician in Budapest, her pathology residency was interrupted by the Revolution when she and her family fled the country. Four years after her arrival in Buffaloshe had first to learn the language - she completed a residency in pathology at Sisters and Children's Hospitals, and then joined the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital staff as assistant pathologist. " I cannot recall a time when I did not want to be a forensic pathologist," the determined young physician said. Undeterred by others' doubts of women entering the field , she requested a year's leave to train under New York's chief medical examiner Milton Halpern. On her return to Buffalo in 1970 as acting chief medical examiner for Erie County, she encountered no difficulty as a woman in the field. A year later she became department head . Working with her is Dr. Justin Uku . The associate chief medical examiner was born in Nigeria, earned an MD degree in Glasgow, and trained in forensic medicine in London, Nigeria, and New York City before coming to Buffalo in 1973. O r. Uku examin es brain . Forensic Pathology SHE was in her eighties. Well liked by neighbors and friends, the small, perhaps senile old woman always left her door ajar. On a tray near the body was a cup of tea and two small pieces of uneaten matzov. Her death appeared to result from a heart attack. Or so her medical history seemed to bear out. But a scrupulous examination by associate medical examiner Judith Lehotay revealed otherwise. It was a homicide. Marks along the victim's wrists indicated they had been bound. That was five years ago. When Dr. Lehotay, who is now chief medical examiner of Erie County and perhaps the only woman in this country to head such an office, recalls that scene of senseless violence, she still responds with anger. She hopes her response will always be so. 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �There are also eight part-time medical examiners (Drs. Earl K. Cantwell, 1ames 1. Creighton, Ernest Fernandez, Edmond 1. Gicewicz, Kuochin Liu, C. Henry Severson, Ralph E. Smith, Harry N. Taylor) and one board-eligible pathologist (Dr. Kathleen Lloyd) working full-time to handle a workload of between 2,500 to 2,600 cases annually. Not only do they perform autopsies routinely on all automobile driver fatalities and most of their victims but on all violent and suspicious deaths. Full body X-rays are taken of all babies, points out Dr. Lehotay. "We want to note bone fractures." During autopsy, blood and biological specimens are taken to determine if there was infection or septicemia present or whether the cause was sudden infant death. Calls from police headquarters are answered by one of the medical examiners. All are MD 's. They view the body at the scene, take a complete history, and in most cases, find that the autopsy and X-rays reveal the cause of death. But because apparent cause of death may differ vastly from the real one, a sharp eye is needed. While a routine autopsy may take but 45 minutes, others take much longer. One body, with 34 bullet holes, took 16 hours. And on any given day there may be up to six autopsies performed by a medical examiner. For Dr. James ]. Creighton who has worked as a medical examiner for over 20 years and brings a wide range of experience in trauma to the field, the key to uncovering cause of death is to "let the body tell you things, and then to ask questions." Because certain types of trauma are caused by specific injuries, the surgeon carefully notes body positior,, ZPTleral condition, and its location. But Dr. Creighton is quick to point to the importance of viewing the scene at which the body is found, and the cooperation of the Buffalo Homicide Bureau. " They have even pointed out things to us," he said. Because every homicide is a legal case, a thorough au topsy includes the taking of numerous photographs, X-rays for later close study, and samples of liver and brain tissue. Body fluid is also analyzed by toxicology to determine the amount of alcohol, drug, poison or other substance present in the body. What the medical examiners have found over the past few years is that deaths from overdoses have increased while traffic fatalities have fallen, that more are dying as a result of soft drug use such as tranquilizers than from hard ones, andWINTER, 1975 Next hospital case is checked by autopsy technician Neal Hodgson, and Dr. Creighton.

Lehotay and Andrew K orenyi-Both . 20 that there are more homicides in the suburbs than ever before. Because violent deaths are on the increase, Dr. Lehotay believes that medical students should have a background in forensic medicine. " In the emergency room they will be seeing bullet/ stab wounds and burns resulting from violent actions, " she said. She noted the importance of identifying both entrance and exit of each bullet hole to determine the organs affected and to make the patient as comfortable as possible. Students now get but a cursory glimpse of forensic pathology as they view 100 slides during several lectures in pathology. Of great help to the forensic pathologist, she points out, are physician records of patient wounds and their incorporation into a surgical incision or repair. If a bullet is removed , she would ask that the pathologist be notified. " We may be looking endlessly for an elusive bullet," she said. A second look by physicians during autopsy would also assist the forensic pathologist. " If a physician is present during autopsy it is a learning device . Despite the lack of such interest on the part of some physicians, teaching does go on in the autopsy room. " One can see neurosurgery residents checking up on previous operations or taking a last look at the brain before their next scheduled surgical procedure, " she said . Autopsy reports on auto accident victims are even sent to Calspan Corporation. " They study them along with accident reports and vehicles involved ," Dr. Lehotay said. " Hopefully safer cars may result. " And cooperation with narcotic researchers on a national study is also pinpointing the types of deaths and is an aid to prevention. Because the number of suicides has been overwhelming, the amount of Quaalide and Valium are now limited to a month 's supply per patient. Points out Dr. Lehotay , " as the first city to report on methadone deaths , we were the impetus for a Congressional investigation. " Other cities are now doing the same. And in public health , the Medical Examiner 's office has been able to pinpoint such problems as carbon monoxide poisoning, the dangers of plastic bags for children. " Its ability to adhere to the skin may lead to suffocation," Dr. Lehotay warns . Years of collecting materials at autopsy and their study by electronmicroscopy may well THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �point to the cause of sudden infant death for Dr. Lehotay. She continues to work in that direction. Open seven days a week, 24 hours a day, the Office of the Medical Examiner is often exposed to a highly emotional public. " We must handle these people with skill," notes Dr. Lehotay. " We need to be something of a psychiatrist and have insight as well. " The severe trauma that automobile injuries of the head and neck can cause has been revealed by their study of 100 cases by unusual forensic X-rays. Of great assistance to the forensic pathologist has been Dr. Cornell Terplan. " He has been our Rock of Gibralter," Dr. Lehotay points out. While there have been many frustrations , there has also been many rewards . With the opening of the new hospital, it is hoped space problems will be solved. While Dr. Lehotay believes there has been lots of hard work/ good cases, she feels that a medical committee serving on the Supreme CoUPt is best able to establish cause of death in automobile accidents. " I do not think a Supreme Court judge has a right to overrule a medical case," she said. An aid to the work of a forensic pathologist is an animal laboratory . Here , models for hypersensitivity disease could be studied in detail. " Because we now have so little to go on we may well miss a diagnosis ," she said. When the new hospital opens, she hopes there will be space for one. But because the service load in the department is a heavy one, there remains little time for research. The County of Erie, notes Dr. Lehotay, is the 23rd largest in the country. And the jump in homicides among its 1.2 million population continues to climb. What remains a challenge to medical examiners is " fitting in the pieces . It is about the last area in which you can still control the picture," notes one. While at times it is frustrating , there is the challenge of " pulling it together. " All agree. " You have to pull it together- what you see on the scene, the autopsy, the questions asked, the lab findings - to form the complete picture." Erie County Health Center Work on the Erie County Comprehensive Health Care Center is on schedule. Hopefully it will open in December of 1977. Fraser M. Mooney, assistant administrator of the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital said, several items originally planned for the new center have been shelved to keep the project within the $120.9 million appropriation. These include 10 examining rooms for the emergency department, three operating rooms and an eight-bed section of the intensive care unit. A meditation room will be built in place of a large chapel which was in the original plans. Also space for the laundry will be left unfinished and the center will rely on the laundry facilities now at the Meyer. There is a possibility that the Erie County Laboratory, which will be housed in a three-story structure at the rear of the center, may be able to move into its new quarters in August of 1976, according to Mr. Mooney. The laboratory will have 88,000 square feet of space, compared to 12,000 feet in the present facility. WINTER , 1975 21 �Athletic Injuries " Blood Viscosity" was the Chapter's winning essay. It was written by Dr. William Barrie. The instructor in surgery is based at E.]. Meyer Memorial Hospital. THREE CLEVELAND CLINIC FOUNDATION physicians agreed that a team physician, school or family doctor can make a real contribution in recognizing physical disabilities or illnesses which should be corrected before the student participates in sports. If they are uncorrectable the person must be excluded from certain sports. Drs . H. Royer Collins, Donald F. Dohn, and Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. , spoke at the annual meeting of the American College of Surgeons of Western New York. Speaking on Athletic Injuries to the Lower Extremities, Dr. Collins, chairman of the department of orthopaedic surgery said, " the knee is the most frequently injured joint in the body in athletic participation followed by the ankle joint and for that reason most attention is focused upon the knee joint. It is important, however, in treating knee injuries that the correct diagnosis be made in order to initiate the proper treatment. This requires a good history to determine the exact mechanism of the injury. This often gives the clue to the structures which may be involved . Once a thorough history has been obtained either from the athlete or from parents, trainers, coaches, etc. , then a thorough physical examination must follow. This frequently cannot be done on the side line. If there is any doubt at all the athlete should be moved into the locker room where a more thorough examination can be undertaken. If the athlete is seen in the office, he should be asked to undress and attention should be turned to the entire lower extremity, as injuries to the hip and hip problems may present with knee pain. We must not overlook the slipped capital femoral epiphysis which may occur in adolescence and present with knee pain." Dr. Collins pointed out physical examination should also include palpation of the thigh and knee to determine if there is any evidence of myositis, or hemorrhage in the thigh, as would be caused by a contusion. " The alignment of the extensor mechanism should be checked as well as any tendency for the patella to dislocate or subluxate. Examination of the ligamentous structures of the knee should be thorough, and then the examination for internal derangement of the knee should also be carried out. X-ray examination is usually required to rule out conditions such as tumor, epiphyseal injuries, osteochondritis dissecans and stress fractures. Occasionally specialized views are necessary to determine the status of the patellae. Arthrography may be helpful, and necessary to determine the presence of any internal derangements of the knee and dt times arthroscopy of the knee may be extremely useful and necessary to complete the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is made treatment should be prompt and exact in order to avoid degenerative changes which can occur if internal derangements or instability of the knee are overlooked. " Speaking on Neurosurgical Injuries Dr. Dohn said, " football gets more publicity than any other sport in terms of serious injuries. But we must not ignore the fact that serious head injuries occur in most other sports, not all of the contact variety." The 1952 U/B Medical School graduate admitted that he was alarmed to read of the relatively high incidence of head injuries in skiing. It was also emphasized that next to boxing, baseball has the greatest incidence of severe head injuries. Even golf and handball have their fatal 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Drs. Dohn, Godfrey, Collins, Esselstyn, Becker head injuries. Dr. Dohn believes some head injuries can be prevented through conditioning, teaching of correct and safe sport fundamentals and the use of proper protective equipment. In some instances these principles of preventive medicine have or will require, rule changes. The chief of the department of neurosurgery at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation said, "it matters little to the neurosurgeon in which sport the injured player was participating. It is of great concern to understand the mechanism of head and neck injuries received in sports or in any other way. Knowing the mechanism of the injury may substantially narrow the differential diagnosis .... It is also important for the practice of preventive medicine. We must recognize head injuries when they occur so we can manage the situation properly on the field or subsequently. "In any case of head injury (on the playing field or elsewhere) we must automatically consider that there may be an accompanying neck injury which may be as serious or potentially more serious than the head injury. "The craniocerebral mass may be acted upon by any force to cause deformation, acceleration or deceleration. Deformation is a blow to the temple with a golf ball or a hockey puck. At the moment of impact, the skull is deformed, a sharp rise in intracranial pressure occurs, and the skull may fracture at the site of deformation or remotely. When the head receives a blow it is always accelerated, as for example, a knee to the head of a tackling football player or a punch to the head in boxing. The brain moves independently in its closed compartment and may be damaged against the skull or against the dural partition. Deceleration would be when a hockey player's head hits the ice in a fall. The same independent movement of the brain takes place. All three of these forces may act independently or together (simultaneously or in succession). "The brain itself may be injured by three forces _: compression, tension, and shear. Generally brain injuries fall into the same three categories with which you are familiar: concussion, contusion and laceration. d- WINTER, 1975 23 �"Skull fractures and post injury sequelae together represent the main group of head injuries requiring neurosurgery. " Dr. Dohn told the physicians that the definition of concussion can be a "hang up. " Even the experts can' t agree on what constitutes a concussion, and too often it is inappropriately relegated to the domain of non-serious injuries. Severe concussion may have far reaching and permanent and even fatal effects. "Laceration, which sounds ominous, may not cause any neurological deficit or unconsciousness (as in penetrating injuries or brain surgery). " Dr. Dohn asked his audience to remember three points about concussion- various degrees of severity may occur; unconsciousness does not have to occur; and the concept of no attendant structural change in the brain is untrue. Microscopic changes in vital areas often exist, particularly in the brain stem, he said. "A skull fracture in itself is not necessarily dangerous or damaging. The presence of a fracture means that a considerable force had been applied to the skull. Undoubtedly concussion has occurred - yet cerebral damage may be absent or mild and no sequelae need follow. On the other hand, head injuries without fracture may be most damaging. Certain skull fractures are of neurosurgical importance (those crossing the middle meningeal groove because of the possibility of ensuing epidural hemorrhage; depressed fractures which compress vital tissue; and those involving the paranasal sinuses or middle ear because of CSF leak and possible meningitis)." The Cleveland neurosurgeon read a case history to illustrate the challenge that " we all face" in recognition of post-traumatic sequelae (cerebral swelling and/or edema; epidural hematoma; subdural hematoma; intracerebral hematoma post concussion) so the injured player gets into the proper hands soon enough: A 16- year-old right- handed high school halfback made a tackle and struck his head on his opponent's pelvic region. Although he did not lose consciousness he was dazed and had to be helped from the field. He recognized the coach and several teammates, calling them by name. As he approached the bench, he dragged his left leg and held his left arm in the air in an abnormal manner. After he sat on the bench a few minutes, he lost consciousness, his eyes rolled up, and he developed decerebrate posture. An ambulance rushed the patient to the hospital seven miles away within 15 minutes after the injury. On admission to the hospital, he was comatose and responding only slightly to deep pain. His blood pressure was 170/90 and his pulse 56, and his respirations were labored and irregular. His right pupil was dilated and fixed, his left reacted still. He had decerebrate posturing involving left upper and both lower extremities. Within 11h hours of his injury, a right hemispheric subdural hematoma was evacuated with recovery. Unfortunately, this happy outcome is often not the case. " I recently saw in consultation in a neighboring community a patient with a football injury. This boy - a star back - was rendered unconscious in a football game near the end of the season. Prompt medical care and good surgical management ensued and a subdural hematoma was removed. At the time of my consultation two months later, the boy was still in a coma. The prognosis was and is grave," Dr. Dohn said. Dr. Richard Schneider of Ann Arbor has done a great service to all branches of athletics, but particularly to football, by advancing the knowledge in the field of head and neck injuries resulting from sports 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �One contribution that he made was a survey of serious and fatal neurosurgical football injuries for a five-year period. He gathered a total of 225 injuries from reporting neurosurgeons. A discouraging finding was the poor results in patients with epidural or subdural hematoma. There were five cases of epidural hematoma with four deaths and 69 cases of subdural hematoma with 28 deaths. As might be expected, cases that deteriorated rapidly after injury had the poorest outcome. These poor results point out the necessity for prompt recognition of the problem. Dr. Schneider has been a strong opponent to the use of the socalled "spearing technique" in tackling and blocking. He has also incriminated the present-day football helmet as being inadequate, according to Dr. Dohn. Dr. Schneider has designed an improved football helmet with the help of engineers and based on intimate knowledge of the mechanism of head and neck injuries. He has had considerable difficulty convincing the leading manufacturers of helmets that there is merit in making these changes, noted Dr. Dohn. "The majority of the serious or fatal injuries in football eventually come under the care of neurosurgeons. This is supported by the fact that in 1970 there were 29 football fatalities, 26 of these resulting from injuries to the head or neck," Dr. Dohn said. As a team physician you must observe the injury first hand as it occurs in order to know the mechanism involved. "'An early assessment of the possible head-injured player should be made in order to establish the baseline. The player should be under constant observation for subsequent developments. If no team physician is available it is not unreasonable to train the coaching staff to make a simple neurological evaluation," Dr. Dohn said. "One of the main factors to be observed is the level of consciousness. This should be recorded in terms that all can understand and not with various vague terms such as stupor, semi-stupor, etc. Is the injured player awake and normal? Is he confused about who he is or who his teammates are, where he is or when it is, etc.? Does he recall the injury? Does he have retrograde amnesia? Can he speak clearly? If he is not fully conscious does he react to spoken words or to painful stimuli? The time of the injury should be noted. The duration of unconsciousness should be noted. The player who is rendered unconscious and does not come around must be taken to the hospital at once," Dr. Dohn said. "Although we classically describe the lucid interval in epidural hematomas we also know that it may not occur and the patient can deteriorate before your eyes. The lucid interval is the situation when an injured person is initially unconscious but recovers for a time only to pass again into unconsciousness as the blood clot grows. Evaluation of the movements of the limbs and the pupillary reaction is of considerable importance." Dr. Dohn spoke about handling and transporting an unconscious patient who might have a head, neck or spine injury. " The player must be handled so as not to cause serious sequelae from the aggravation of an unsuspected spinal injury. Preferably he should be carried from the field on a stretcher or board after being 'log rolled' onto this device. It may prove devastating to allow an unconscious patient to remain on his back because of the aspiration of vomitus. The semi-prone position should be used with the head supported level with the spine. Adequate airway and respiration must be maintained, since cerebral swelling may be produced or aggra~ated by hypoxia. Transportation of such an injured player is odWINTER, 1975 25 n{ Medical students participated in International Women's Year in October. The five-day event featured a special health day .

It is very poor practice to allow a concussed player to be moved off the field sort of dangling from the shoulders of two of his teammates. Promptness of action is imperative if a patient with an intracranial hematoma is to be saved. It is better to be safe than sorry. Transportation must be readily available and communication with the hospital and/or surgeon is essential so that the medical facility is alerted to the potential of immediate surgery. Every second counts." When should a player who has suffered a head and neck injury be allowed to resume his athletic participation? Dr. Dohn said that a player who has suffered a concussion with residual effects such as retrograde amnesia, confusion, headache or unexplained behavior must not be allowed to play the remainder of that game. Dr. Richard Schneider has described three degrees of cerebral concussion. The first degree is described as mild. There is no loss of consciousness, slight mental confusion, or of very transient memory loss. " Such a player may be returned to the game after a play or two but should be watched carefully for symptoms of fatigue, signs of disorientation or peculiar behavior," Dr. Dohn said. The second degree or moderate concussion has transient loss of consciousness up to three or four minutes with momentary mental confusion and definite mild retrograde amnesia. He may have moderate unsteadiness for up to five or ten minutes. " I personally do not think this patient should be allowed to return to the game. He certainly must be watched closely and should see his doctor," Dr. Dohn said. The third degree or severe concussion has prolonged loss of consciousness longer than four minutes. He may be mentally confused for five or more minutes and have prolonged retrograde amnesia with severe tinnitus, dizziness, and marked unsteadiness for over ten minutes. This player should be sent directly to the hospital for observation for the possibility of an expanding intracranial bleed, according to the Cleveland neurosurgeon. It has been said by some that three concussions sustained by one player in one season should automatically remove the player from the sport permanently or at least for the rest of the season. " Often circumstances are such that one severe concussion should exclude a player permanently. There are no definitive tests that help one make this decision and it often is a very difficult one because of pressures from the athlete, the parents, and the coach. Certainly the presence of prolonged postconcussion syndrome mitigates against return to the sport, i.e. headache, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, irritability, etc. The EEG has been said to be helpful but I disagree because it can be normal despite brain injury and without a premorbid baseline one can' t correlate the EEG abnormalities with the clinical status. One should not be too rigid in making these decisions; each case must be individualized. I think that any player who develops a seizure secondary to head injury should be eliminated at least for the season. Any player who has required operative Rx for a head injury probably should not be allowed to participate in contact sports," Dr. Dohn concluded. " It is very difficult to give a thorough, unhurried examination to injured athletes on the sidelines under game pressures," Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. said. " But physicians must determine on the spot whether 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSIC IAN �An interested audience. an athlete can continue. There must be prompt recogmt10n of the problem so the injured player gets the proper t~eatment. " In discussing injuries to the thorax , abdomen and genito-urinary system, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation surgeon told about the importance of lab tests , X-rays and a detailed history of the patient as well as the injury. " In renal trauma don' t operate without aURA-gram. The patient may have only one kidney. Often in penetrating injuries (bullet or knife wounds) you cannot postpone surgery." One of seven injuries is delayed rupture and this causes shock. Be alert to a rib fracture that is over the spleen, liver or kidney , Dr. Esselstyn warned. " Often people can fall nine stories and if they land correctly there is no injury," he concluded. " As a surgeon and a former athlete I am especially interested in sports medicine. It is a real and separate classification from regular medicine or surgery and in many countries there are professors of sports medicine. " That is what Dr. Tenley E. Albright, a Boston surgeon and 1956 Olympic figure skating champion said at the evening banquet. " I find certain similarities between my present profession and my former role as a figure skater. There is discipline in all sports that is valuable in any profession. In both figure skating and surgery there has to be careful preparation that includes long and difficult hours of training, great attention to detail, total concentration and the ability to perform under pressure. "When I was a figure skater in the Olympics nobody told us about warning signs that we were tiring too fast, or how to get the most out of a training period or even how long before competition we should eat. We had to find our own answers. Now I find it fascinating to see physiological reasons for all these things we learned through trial and error," Dr. Albright said. She shares an office with her father and brother, who are both surgeons. She is a graduate of the Harvard Medical School (there were four other women in her class). Dr. Albright is a member of the surgical staff of the New England Baptist Hospital in Boston. "> WINTER, 1975 27 �- A nurse and helicopter pilot with a newborn in the portable transporter. EouCATION AND SAVING LIVES are the main functions of the Regional Saving the Newborn Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Western New York located at Children's Hospital. Fifty-one graduate professional nursery nurses from Western New York have completed the four-week advanced neonatal nursing program directed by Dr. George Giacoia. In the concentrated program (classroom and clinical) the nurses expand their function to include - the assessment of neonatal risk factors; the physical assessment of infants and the identification of deviations from the "norm;" and the more effective communication with the mother. The neonatal nurse practitioner also provides instruction to the mothers, especially those whose infants are not under the care of a private pediatrician. This group of mothers, because of their characteristic young age and low gravidity, are particularly in need of special attention. "Special emphasis is given to the observation of the newborn during critical periods of adaptation," the assistant professor of pediatrics at the Medical School said. "When the nurse finds something abnormal she immediately reports it to the baby' s physician." On all emergency calls a physician-nurse team from the unit with all the necessary monitoring equipment accompany the ambulance or helicopter that brings the newborn baby to the Neonatal Unit. "We can bring a baby here in less than an hour - via helicopter - from Olean, New York or Bradford, Pennsylvania," Dr. Giacoia said. 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The monthly luncheon (left to right) Drs.

We have saved many babies in the last two and one-half years. About four per cent of the babies born need the special care that our unit provides. When the baby cannot come to the unit we try to solve the problem through our aroundthe-clock hot line consultation service," Dr. Giacoia said. His travelling neonatal workshop visited 35 hospitals in Western New York and Pennsylvania in the last three years to explain new techniques in caring for the newborn. Dr. Giacoia also hosts a monthly meeting for pediatricians in the area. He has worked closely with the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program to develop audiovisual programs for physicians and nurses in Western New York. Some of the well-known guest speakers who have appeared are Dr. Jack Sinclair, director of neonatology at McMaster University; Dr. Frederick Battaglia, chairman of the department of pediatrics at the University of Colorado; and Dr. Alex Minkowski , director of the Center for Neonatal Research at the University of Paris. The intensive care nursery on the fourth floor of Children's Maternity Building is divided into intensive care, intermediate and convalescent sections. There are a total of 40 beds. The nursery is a teaching facility for medical students, interns, residents and postdoctoral students. A number of clinical research projects are in progress, including studies on calcium and carbohydrate metabolism in infants of very low birth weight. The nursery' s medical staff consists of one full-time neonatologist, two neonatal Fellows; and five housestaff and 87 nurses. Because Children's Hospital is a comprehensive pediatric facility , the full spectrum of pediatric subspecialties from pediatric anesthesiology to radiology are on call nearby and able to contribute to the newborn's care. Since the unit has been accredited as the Regional Center for Western New York there has been more utilization. Construction is under way to solve the space shortage.O 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Continuing Education Thirteen Continuing Medical Education Programs are tentatively scheduled for the first six months of 1976, according to Mr. Charles Hall, director of the programs.

Bisho p implants intramuscular electrodes into intercostal muscles of Andrew Robin so n as Judy Friedburg attaches g round electrode. Andrew R obinson is exposed to pressure breathing as he sits in closed box. Or. Bishop observes. When man descends to the ocean's floor or circles the globe in outer space, his physiological control systems are subjected to new and unusual environmental stresses. To survive he must carry his own supply of air and breathe through a mouth piece or face mask. Initially he is conscious of these altered breathing conditions. But in time, as he becomes accustomed to the altered pressures and imposed gear, his breathing again becomes automatic. By simulating some of these environmental conditions in her laboratory, Dr. Beverly Bishop hopes to learn how man' s neural machinery initiates and controls compensatory responses to these respiratory stresses. And because man's sensory feedback mechanisms are anatomically inaccessible, their role must be assessed indirectly. By taking advantage of the fact that output of the ventilatory system lends itself to direct assessment, the professor of physiology is studying stresses on the activity of the respiratory muscles - the effects of pressure breathing, hypercapnia, hypoxia - as well as depth and timing of events in the respiratory cycle. And from these results she will be able to deduce the contribution of different sensory feedback mechanisms to these observed responses. For example, she points to pulmonary stretch receptors that are located in man's terminal airways. So exquisitely sensitive are they to pressure and volume changes in the lung that " their continual sensory input keeps the respiratory control center informed of these changes in the periphery," she said. And while chemoreceptors in the aortic and carotid bodies report continuously to the medullary control center about the state of the arterial blood, muscle spindles in the skeletal muscles of the walls of the chest and abdomen supply the central nervous system with information on changes in length of rib interspaces. 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Points out Dr. Bishop, " this is how the respiratory controller continually learns about the position and shape of body cavities." But not only do the medullary neurons that make up the respiratory center receive information from these major sources of sensory information but it is believed that they probably receive some from almost every other sensory system as well. After the center receives and integrates this diverse information, its output in turn governs timing and level of activity of every major and accessory respiratory muscle. In her laboratory, volunteer subjects - students from Health Related Professions - are exposed to levels of pressure breathing between -15 and +15 em water and/ or low levels of inspired carbon dioxide or oxygen. And their effects are evaluated from changes in respiratory muscle activity and in pattern of breathing. Changes in muscle activity are determined from action potentials that are recorded by very fine wire electrodes implanted in inspiratory and expiratory muscles. Explained Dr. Bishop, " these ultra-fine wires are similar to those used to detect myoelectric signals which activate prosthetic devices in amputees." From these chronically-implanted electrodes, Dr. Bishop is able to monitor the activity of small motor units i~ a subject's muscle throughout a series of experiments that may last from a week to ten days . " Once the electrode is implanted," she added, " a subject is unaware of its presence. " During an experiment, a subject remains seated in a sealed box. His lungs are compressed or expanded by adjusting the pressure within the box to any desired level. When the pressure is elevated, the subject's chest and lungs are compressed. " Greater effort is required to inspire," Dr. Bishop said. Evacuating the box expands the lungs. " The subject responds by increasing his expiratory effort," she continued. d- O r. Michael Th u rsby records data on magnetic tape recorder for fu tu re replay for com puter analysis. WINTER, 1975 33 �I I I i Dr. Bishop has been on the Medical School faculty since 1958. In the spring of 1975 she won the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching. In June she was promoted to full professor. As a hobby Dr. Bishop pilots an airplane with her husband, who is an associate professor of medicine at the University. In comparison to ultra-fine wires used for electromyography, Judy Friedburg and Dr. Bishop find the equipment for measuring tidal volume, inspiratory flow, minute ventilation, and other respiratory parameters to be gross and space-consuming. Feeding two fine insulated wires through a 26 gauge hypodermic needle which is used to implant wires into a muscle. The needle is then withdrawn. During these respiratory responses, single motor unit action potentials are recorded onto magnetic tape for subsequent computer analysis. Said Dr. Bishop, "the tapes are replayed many times to determine the total number of impulses, regularity of discharge for each single motor unit under surveillance as well as its frequency discharge per breath." Analysis of peripheral motor events gives Dr. Bishop precise information about the activity of central motoneurons without any surgical intervention. And combining single motor unit analysis with measurements of more conventional respiratory parameters - tidal volume and minute ventilation - provides the investigator with new details about the ventilatory pump on which our lives depend. Preliminary findings indicate that low levels of pressure breathing induce deeper breathing without causing any change in the timing of events in the respiratory cycle. "And," concludes Dr. Bishop, " with this type of information derived from a host of controlled experiments, we shall be able to deduce the changing contributions of the diverse sensory feedback mechanism and suggest new refinement for current models of the respiratory control system. " 0 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A 1943 Medical School graduate, Dr. William Georgi, is the new acting chairman of the department of rehabilitation medicine at the School of Medicine. Since 1955 Dr. Georgi has been director of the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation at The Buffalo General Hospital. He has also been a physiatrist at the Children's Hospital Rehabilitation Center since 1957. Dr. Georgi has been an attending or consultant to four area hospitals or institutions since 1960. Dr. Georgi has been on the Medical School faculty since 1949. Last July he was promoted to clinical associate professor. He is also a clinical assistant professor of pediatrics. In 1960 he was named a Diplomate, American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. From 1944 to 1946 he was a Captain in the United States Army Medical Corps. He was a resident in internal medicine at the Buffalo General Hospital the next two years, in private practice of internal medicine from 1948-53, and a Fellow of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at New York University's Bellevue Medical Center from 1953-55. Dr. William Georgi 0 R. THEODORE T. JACOBS, president of the Buffalo General Hospital for -the past four years, retired September 1. The 63-year old clinical assistant professor of surgery ended almost four qecades of hospital service. Born in Brooklyn, he played football at Erasmus Hall High School in the same backfield with Sid Luckman, one of the "all-time great" pro quarterbacks. He earned a medical degree at U/B in 1938 and completed an internship and surgery residency at Buffalo General Hospital. During World War II, the thoracic surgeon served as a Major with the Army Medical Corps. At the 23rd Buffalo General Hospital Unit in Italy he and Dr. John Burke headed the thoracic surgery section. Named chief of the surgicalservic~ at 123th evacuation hospital at war's end in Europe, his instructions to reorganize in preparation for invasion of Japan were nullified when the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. He returned to Buffalo following military duty and began to practice general and thoracic surgery. In 1948-1949, well before the advent of open heart surgery, he and the late Dr. John Paine performed some of Buffalo's first heart surgery. lt .was to correct the congenital defect to great vessels of the heart in "blue babies. " A decade later, in 1959, Dr. Jacobs was named director of the outpatient department at Buffalo General Hospital as well as coordinator of its housestaff education. Three years later he became associate director of the Hospital, a position he held for nine years. In 1971 he was tapped to fill the top administrative position, that of director. A year later, when Hospital bylaws gave greater authority to administrators, he was named president. Looking back over his more than four years of hospital leadership, Dr. Jacobs is pleased with the organization, technology, and development of new programs in patient care. Not only has tne Community Mental Health Center been completed during his tenure but the city parking ramp that was asked for and sponsored by the Hospital. Dr. Jacobs has also served as president of the Western New York Hospital Association, and as a trustee of the Hospital Association of New York State and the Comprehensive Health Planning Council of Western New York. He and Mrs. Jacobs plan to make their home in Clearwater, Florida and he intends to spend a lot more time fishing and playing golf than in the past. <) . WINTER, 1975 35 Dr. Jacobs Retires Or. Jacobs �Or. Paul Davis teaches medica/students. Endocrine Program HAT prompted Dr. Paul J. Davis to accept the headship of a university-wide endocrine program in Buffalo was support that he found here to establish an "oasis" for investigative endocrinology. The 38-year old professor of medicine plainly admits to a commitment to provide a solid research background for those interested in academic endocrinology at a time when investigative funding from NIH is more competitive than ever. And the training program that he now has underway is not only doing just that but offers both conventional and unconventional opportunities in clinical endocrinology. When he and his physician wife, Dr. Faith Baker Davis, visited Buffalo and found the patient population at the E.J. Meyer Hospital to be an attractive one on which to focus a clinical training program, they did not hesitate to leave Baltimore - where he headed the endocrine division of the Hopkins Service at Baltimore City Hospitals for five years and she was the assistant head for two and directed the hospital's medical clinics since 1968 - and with sons Matthew and John and daughter Sarah move to Buffalo. Two Fellows - Drs. Arthur Steele and Richard Blanchard - are now enrolled in the training program in endocrinology. Two others are due to join them next year. Prospective Fellows must be willing to spend two years on clinical or " bench" research projects while carrying a substantial consultative caseload at the Meyer and Veterans Administration Hospitals. W Or. Arthur Steele examines a patient. 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Medical students may soon be solving patient management problems by computer. For, charged with popularizing a computerized teaching program originated by Dr. George Schussler (he has since left Buffalo), is Dr. Steele. The University of Maryland medical graduate (1971) trained at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Blanchard, the other Fellow in endocrinology, is a U/B graduate (1972) and is involved in studies of cellular actions of thyroid hormone and insulin. He also trained in Baltimore. One problem facing Dr. Davis is to attract junior faculty to Buffalo. No easy matter to find young investigators who are move-able, he points to the dwindling number of junior endocrinologists, the result of the drying up of endocrinology training grants over the past few years. For those patients with endocrine problems, a regional computerized data bank is planned. Being implemented within the Meyer and Veterans Hospitals, its success will depend on cooperative efforts of the area's practicing and academic endocrinologists. Uses of the data bank will include insight into the epidemiology of the thyroid and adrenal disease seen in a relatively" closed" community that Dr. Davis finds similar in some ways to Minnesota's Olmstead County. Not only will the data bank permit mo'nitoring of diseasr: incidence, but results of treatment and side effects of endocrine drug use as well. The Drs. Davis are graduates of Harvard Medical School (1963). They completed their residencies in medicine at the Bronx Municipal Hospital Center. Dr. Paul joined the Johns Hopkins medicine faculty in 1967, served for two years with the Public Health Service, was a senior staff Fellow in the endocrine section of NICHD's Gerontology Research Center, .and a clinical associate in its clinical physiology branch as well. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. His research interests include the mechanisms of action of thyroid hormone, action of insulin in renal tubules, water metabolism, the evolution of extracellular hormone-binding proteins, and testing of the free hormone hypothesis of endocrine action. After Dr. Faith Davis completed a year in Albert Einstein's department of medicine in 1967, she also joined the Johns Hopkins faculty. Her background qualifies her highly for the major task she faces at the E.J. Meyer Hospital. Here she will not only analyze the process of health care delivery to its patient population but is charged with the medical teaching program in the outpatient clinics as well as the revamping of medical "process" in the accident room. The clinical associate professor of medicine not only headed Baltimore City Hospital's medical clinics for seven years, but has served as assistant chief of its endocrinology division as well as serving on the health services advisory committee for Baltimore City's Instructive Visiting Nurse Association. In an effort to provide more opportunities for useful interactions between community physicians and the University 's endoc-rine service, Dr. Davis and his staff have prepared a series of eight prepackaged talks that are available to area hospitals. Specific clinical areas covered are hyperthyroidism in the elderly; myxedema thyroid nodule; T -3 toxicosis; accident room presentations of diabetes mellitus; diabetic neuropathx; diabetic insulin resistance and insulin allergy; and management of endocrine emergencies. 2 WINTER, 1975 37 Or.

Points out the associate dean for medical education, "not only are medical students able to begin their senior year during the summer, but some juniors are now taking clerkshops over the summer preceding their third year. And for some freshmen, completing the first summer course in histology/embryology has provided them with a head start on their first semester. While for other undergraduates, taking accelerated programs in pharmacology and microbiology over the summer has either lightened their workload for the coming semester or will lead to graduation in three years. The future? An increase in these kinds of flexibility and options available to students, forecasts Dr. Katz. "We hope to have more interdisciplinary programs, more clinical teaching earlier in the curriculum, as well as basic science participation during the clinical years.

And they were anxious to get the process going. One of every three of these new freshmen medical students is a female. But for a handful, almost all are New York Staters. And they come from 61 college campuses that are as near as U/ B and as far as Stanford. They are an average 23 Yz years old. Most are science majors. But among the 30 different majors are some who have trained in nursing, nutrition, humanities, education, etc. Fifteen hold graduate degrees.

Dr. Musselman graduate " the entire Main Street campus will be yours. " Not only does he envision the then new Health Sciences Center to have vastlyimproved research but education facilities as well. There was a light moment shared when Dean John Naughton pointed to statistics assuring the longevity of the new class over that of new deans. Turning to serious matters he hoped that they would " love getting information" and that they would see as a challenge " to work at a solution, not create a problem." In their learning to deal with change he hoped that they would also learn to deal with uncertainty. For Dr. Naughton, the real challenge is " preparing to be comfortable with all challenges." He hoped the new class would provide themselves with a good information base, skills, the handling of priorities and develop the other qualities so necessary for a physician. And while the University and others would help them be aware of the new field of biomedical aids, he was certain that the preparation of skills and expertise for this new technology is " certain to come from your generation. " They were at ease when they learned from Dr. Leonard Katz that " each is capable of becoming a fine physician." In wanting the class to become whatever each is capable of becoming - "contributors of medicine" - the associate dean for medical education pointed to a " new spirit ... a new dean ... a sense of willingness to change ... to improve the curriculum. We will try to assist you here. " They were informed of more hours to learn about biochemistry when Dr. Alexander Brownie pointed to two semesters over which to discuss protein synthesis, enzymes, genetics, and metabolism. And from Dr. Joseph C. Lee to whom the human body is the most beautiful, most wonderful machine, there was the promise " to aid you in knowing it." From Dr. Russell E. Hayes they learned that the integrated course in histology/embryology " makes it easier, it reinforces each other. " He sees more innovations to be implemented soon. And from 42 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Norman Solkoff the class was given an overview on human behavior and the spectrum of human development which covers in utero to death. To attend a year of medical school, assistant dean for medical education Rudy Williams, pointed to a figure of $5 ,300. In noting the unavailability of granl and scholarship money, he was certain that " many of you will have $20,000 in loans by the time you graduate. " For Dr. Martin Plaut, being a member of the medical profession is the " only soul-making, satisfying profession in which the lines are very clear cut. " From the associate professor of medicine, the new class learned that asking the right questions when eliciting information from a patient gives a medical student " a nice feeling. " He hoped that when the class takes physical diagnosis six months hence the dehumanization of a patient does not occur. " By then something has happened to you. " He pointed to sometime in the future when " all the things you now possess will become relatively less important as you start to become physicians and synthesize things." Certain that the Class of 1979 already knows the most important thing- how to think and to learn to acquire information- he pointed to the superb physicians they will become when " somehow all the science is imparted to you and when it is integrated into what you know, that ability to think in new ways stays with you. And if you somehow keep intact what you already know, every one of you will survive and prosper in this profession." '> Coffee break. WINTER, 1975 43 D rs. Lee, Hayes, So lkoff. �Diverticulitis Or.

Y our editor is back at his desk after a four-month bout with diverticulitis- a " little" illness requiring 39 days of hospitalization and three surgical procedures. It was certainly no medical milestone to the medical profession, but to the novice patient, who had been last hospitalized in 1928 for a tonsillectomy, it did indeed prove the efficiency of modern medicine. After playing a decent (for me) golf game on July 7, I awoke to severe abdominal pains and much discomfort on July 8. A rush visit to the internist, Dr. Robert Moskowitz, revealed it was probably diverticulitis. Consultation with the surgeon, Dr. James Upson and subsequent X-rays revealed a perforation of the large intestine. Hospitalization was immediate - within two hours medical machinery and antibiotics were working to try to solve the problem. Such treatment did not do the job within 72 hours, so surgery was scheduled for 4:30 on a Friday afternoon (July 11). What a way to begin the weekend! Further surgical procedures followed on September 29 and October 8 - with no difficulties. I was discharged October 12, to further recuperate at home, and incidentally to ponder on the good fortune of being returned to normal good health. Thanks to the three shifts of health professionals on Section 3-MC at the Buffalo General Hospital for their super efforts. A special credit must be given to Dr. Richard Terry (M '38 and clinical professor of anthesiology) who briefed me on exercising as soon as possible after surgery. Thanks also to the chef for his tasty and varied menus and to the hospital pharmacist. You were all great!

Explained Dr. Harry J. Alvis who heads the U.S. Foreign Medical Graduate Program (USFMG) at U/B, "this program is comparable to that offered to our medical students. " Designed chiefly for New York Staters, the 16 who have been studying at medical schools in Guadalajara, Mexico; Bologna, Italy; and Graz, Austria are now gaining clinical experience at Millard Fillmore, South Buffalo Mercy, and Deaconess Hospitals in internal medicine, general surgery, and obstetrics/gynecology over a ninemonth period. " We needed to find physicians willing to take the time to teach these students" says Dr. Alvis who is a clinical associate professor of social and preventive medicine. Many of the students may not have had as much clinical experience as those who study in American medical schools. Reentering the Medical Care System Checking patient's sutures are Dr. Henry Carls, Jeffrey Gelber, Nurse L. Horwith, and Or. Roy Oswaks. �Dr. John ]. O'Brien, clinical assistant professor of medicine at the Medical School, in the coronary care unit at South Buffalo Mercy Hospital, with Charles Mallo. Dr. Paul B. Cotter explains placental circulation to George Conner and Peter van Dell. Dr. Cotter is co-ordinator of South Buffalo Mercy's ob/gyn program and a clinical assistant professor at the Medical School. Once their clerkship in Buffalo is completed, the 16 Americans "will be eligible for an approved program of training." Dr. Alvis points to Buffalo as one of the few cities where students are being trained in different teaching hospitals, "to broaden their clinical experience." He hopes that some of these students will practice in Western New York as a result of the program that was primarily designed to help students from this area. Will the program continue? Although the committee's initial intent was to start a new group of students in July and January, summed up Dr. Alvis, "it will depend on availability of physicianpreceptors at our affiliated hospitals." Working on the USFMG Program Committee with Dr. Alvis are Drs. Murray N. Andersen, Henry P. Staub, Kamil Tourbaf, and Vincent J. Capraro. The 16 participating American medical students are George Connor, Joseph V. Cotroneo, Richard Neri, and Arthur H. Ostrov from Bologna; Richard J. Colman, Jeffrey Gelber, John W. Hewitt, Gary Horwith, Paul Kuzma, Charles J. Mallo, Gerald L. Price, Charles D. Rice, Alexander Theodore, Mark N. Vinzant, and Peter van Dell from Guadalajara; and Norman Ryan from Graz.

WINTER, 1975 �The Future/A Challenge An interview with Dr. John Eccles, Distinguished Professor of Physiology and Biophysical Sciences, who retired in August after seven years at U/ 8 and is now living in Switzerland with his wife, Dr. Helena Eccles. Dr. Eccles Dr. Eccles is not very enthusiastic about those who try to denigrate our existing world. For the renowned scientist/philosopher believes that man can create a better state that includes care for the sick. Adamant in his thinking that " we do not deserve anything we do not work for ," he is convinced that health care should be thought of as a " fundamental right. " He hopes that medical students will realize they are not treating just sick animals. Rather, they will be treating sick human beings who have the tremendous complications that accompany all personal existence. Pointing to the need for a philosophy whereby man can accept a future, he sees the alternative as no future at all. Because " it is rare that one finds a human being who is completely licked," he hopes the physician will place himself in the position of his patient, "as though he himself were suffering. " He sees man himself and not an energy shortage as the major problem. " With a meaningful future built on values eluding us , we cannot have confidence that mankind will go on at all, " he cautions. For Dr. Eccles, life has meaning and is significant. " It is not what we can get ovt of it monitarily," he says. And yet he is quick to point to man 's right to expect a reasonable reward for his labors. But, he continues, medicine should not be regarded as big industry, with all that goes with it. Rather, he sees it as a profession, be it an academic or professional one, with dedicated individuals whose task and mission in life must differ from " just the accumulation of more money. " How can this happen? Perhaps, he speculates, through a much more socialized system of medical care. For he believes that private industry is subject to abuse. " Senior men earn enormous salaries while young physicians must take many years to specialize. They struggle in poverty before earning a name and the affluence that goes with it," he says. Looking back on his experience with the Australian and New Zealand systems of health care - it is where he grew up - he remembers a better system than one available here. His experience in hospitals and on wards with ancillary professionals has pointed to a serious problem. " The backup service for doctors has been inefficient, sometimes bad," he says. 50 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Would a socialized system improve health care in this country? He feels the psychology of the job may be wrong. He recalls, when he was a doctor in a hospital, "the nursing profession did everything for the patient that is now being done by others." He does not see things working out too well today. " Health care is terribly expensive," he says. And he feels that hospital costs could be almost halved. Pointing to two hospitals, Lorna Linda and the City of Hope, that are beautifully-run and where everything is done for the patient by a highly-dedicated staff, he feels we are losing this sense of dedication. " We should be far more dedicated than other careerists," he emphasizes, "for we are dealing with human lives." He cautions new graduating doctors on the imperfections of the health care system today. "It is one which may possibly be getting worse all of the time." While uncertain how its enormous cost burden can be handled, he sees a crisis looming for many hospitals who today have vacant beds. " They cannot get staff." With an imperfect system at best, he challenges the medical student to "be critical, see how you can make the system a more disciplined one, improve it." For Dr. Eccles, science was the route by which he felt he could do more for humanity. He gave up the practice of medicine as he got more and more interested in Medical Science. His work on intracellular recording from nerve cells and defining the fundamentals of synapses was begun in Dunedin, New Zealand in the early fifties and earned for him the Nobel Prize in 1963 as well as a Knighthood. And it opened an exciting new field, . one in which he has been getting the story of the nerve cells as recorded by electrical amplifiers and computers. Another turning point in his philosophic life began for Dr. Eccles last year. It was at the Villa Serbelloni located on Lake Como where " under conditions of wonderful existence in collaboration with the philosopher, Sir Karl Popper, I had the thrill of developing a new outlook on brain and mind." A dualist - a philosophic term for one who looks at existence of brain and mind as separate entities - he is working out a dualism that is stronger than any yet proposed. Admitting that this is a shocking idea to most philosophers and scientists, he sees the self-conscious mind or self with an existence that is both independent of the brain and yet is one that works with and is central to it. He is now coauthoring a book, The Self and Its Brain, with Sir Karl Popper. It is a mix of science and philosophic dialogue. The mind, for Dr. Eccles, is the primary operator "in receiving from the brain. It gives us the whole of conscious perception." But more than the brain, Dr. Eccles sees the mind as taking control, as in thought. Therefore he sees " my thought controlling my brain, my action, and the retrieval of memories. " That we can go back into the past by some incredible way, he feels is because mind operates as master of the brain. It remains a formidable task even to begin understanding the way in which mind works on the brain. As one of four speakers at the Gustavus Adolphus Nobel Conference held in St. Peter, Minnesota on October 1 and 2 , he raised these questions and new ideas in his lecture, "The Mind-Brain Problem as a Frontier of Science," to the 36 Nobel Laureates and over four thousand scholars present.

" Excellent, just excellent," was echoed by the participants in the fourth summer workshop held by the Center for Immunology on the latest methods for immunology research and diagnosis. During three weeks of intensive sessions, a staff of over 30 offered the limited group of a like number of registrants insight into underlying immunology princples during daily demonstrations and laboratory exercises. Noted Center director, Dr. James F. Mohn, " the group, who come from most parts of the globe, will be able to train others when they return home." 52 THE BU FFALO PHYSIC IAN �WINTER, 1975 53 �Frank Gillig, first-year medical student, examines a patient who has had total gastrectom y- and is now "feeling just fine." Frank spent two weeks with Dr. Burt Rappole, a general surgeon, one week with Dr. Kenje Kobayashi, qn orthopedic surgeon, another week at the Jamestown Medical Center with Dr. John Voltman and two days with a family practitioner in Westfield, Dr. Herbert Laughlin. Rural Externs " Living in a rural area has given me a broader view of health care delivery. It was a tremendous summer experience. It changed my opinion of rural practice." That was the general consensus of the 16 medical students who participated in the sixth annual (eight-week) rural externship program in Western New York. A total of 67 health sciences students from Schools of Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, Health Related Professions and Medicine participated in the program sponsored by the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program. Lois Polatnick, a first year medical student who worked at the Wormer Medical Clinic, Portville said, " Some patients carne to clinic from as far as 30 or 40 miles. They liked the personalized and professional attention that they received. I've learned to talk to patients. The experience has been very worthwhile. " Jay Brachfeld, a second year medical student who worked at the Brooks Memorial Hospital, Dunkirk said, 'Tve been in surgery, the delivery room and the emergency room. My experience has been invaluable. I find it easier talking to patients now. I never had an opportunity like this before. Patients seem friendlier, the hospital seems less intense and the whole atmosphere seems more informal here." A first year medical student, Michael Blume, who worked at the VA Hospital in Batavia said, " I rotated through practically every department in the hospital. It's been a fantastic experience. I like the community so well that I have joined the Little Theatre. It has been a wonderful professional and social experience." Mark Kramer, a first year medical student who spent eight weeks at Brooks Memorial Hospital, Dunkirk said, " I have taken histories, done minor suturing and physical exams. The doctors and nurses I have worked with are great. They are dedicated individuals who know what they are doing. I feel lucky to have the chance to work with them" Other general student comments: " Being made to feel like a colleague has encouraged me to become really involved in my work as a medical technologist. It has made me feel like a part of rural medicine and makes me want to come back to it; before my summer experience I knew very little about rural medicine. There are many excellent professionals here who are just as capable and well read as those in the city; I worked with a lot of top notch nurses and physicians at the Genesee Memorial Hospital; the people of both hospital and town accepted me and I have several new friends; most people as patients seemed happy to help a future physician by reviewing their signs and symptoms." The student-preceptor relationship was excellent. The medical students stimulated the preceptors who agreed that " it was a rewarding teaching experience and a real challenge. " Two Jamestown hospital administrators agreed that their staffs received a lot of satisfaction because the students come up with new ideas and questions. Robert Hoffman, administrator of the Jamestown General Hospital said, " The program provides clinical application with academics. The student-teacher relationship enhances patient care. It keeps people from stagnating." WCA Hospital Administrator Murray Marsh said, " I see the program as an addition to the physician recruitment on the county level. It is a long range proposition of seeding the ground for years." 54 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. John R.F. Ingall, LARMP director said, " The intent of the program is to encourage students to consider settling down and setting up a practice in rural areas where health manpower usually is in short supply. The program was flexible so the students could work and observe in hospitals, clinics, public health departments and private offices. " William D. Crage, program director, described the program as one approach to solving a national problem which affects Western New York. Following is a list of students and preceptors who participated in the 1975 program. Many of the students rotated within their respective counties. A recent telephone survey of health students who participated in the Rural Extern Program since it began in 1970 was conducted by the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program, Inc. It showed that of the 58 students contacted, 55 are now in practice. Of this number, 55% or 30 of them are now in rural practice. ALLEGANY COUNTY- Student: Steven H . Berliner (medicine).

WINTER , 1975 �Th e new brain scann er (CA TT) Com puterized Axial Trans ve rse Tom og raphy at the Millard Fillm ore Hospital. It is one of six such dev ices in th e United States . New Brain Testing Device The C.A .T.T. (Co mputerized Axial Transverse Tomography) or EM! Scanner is an entirely original device for in vivo direct examination of the brain. It is the first one in New York State and one of the first six on the North American Continent. In August 1972, D r. W illiam R. Kinkel, the Director of the Dent Neurologic Institute, at the Millard Fillmore Hospital, went to England to investigate this tremendous breakthrough in diagnosis of diseases involving the brain . At that time there was only one such unit in the world . The $317,000 C.A.T.T. is largely the results of research by one man. Mr. Godfrey Housfield received the MacRobert Award in 1972 for this major accomplishment. (This is equ ivalent to the Nobel Prize for engineering.) By combining the speed and accuracy of the computer with highly sensitive detectors , this system enables 100 times more information to be extracted from the X-ray photons than conventional X-ray methods. The only resemblance to the known X-ray methods , however, is the source of energy used , namely, the photon. It is able to detect minute variations in the density of brain tissue providing information on the brain with a sensitivity and detail hither to unobtainable. The size and shape of the ventricles, cisterns, and subarachnoid space are readily identifiable. Gray matter and white matter can be distinguished. Strokes, tumors , cysts, for example, are recognizable. Of major importance is that all of this is achieved without making the patient uncomfortable or subjecting him to any risk . The C.A.T.T. can be performed as an out-patient service without making additional demands on scarce hospital beds and staff. The C.A .T.T. allows two adjacent tomographic slices of the brain to be scanned in five minutes. During this time, the scanning unit, containing the X-ray source and two extremely sensitive detectors , is rotated around the patient' s head in 1° steps . At each step, 160 readings of transmissions of the photons from the X-ray tube are recorded by each detector as the X-ray tube and detectors traverse the patient's head linearly. A total of 28 ,800 readings are taken for each slice in a complete 180° revolution from the narrow beam of Xrays passing through the head in a single plane. Three readings are digitized and stored on a magnetic disc store. The data contained in the store is then processed by the on-line computer, which calculates the absorption values of the material within the slices. The computer solves 28,800 simultaneous equations for each slice. The results are then available for presentation in the form of an 80 x 80 picture matrix- that is, some 6,400 matrix points. The value of the absorption coefficient of the material at each 3mm. sq . point in the slice is calculated to 0.5% accuracy. The results may be used to produce pictures on a cathode ray tube viewing unit which may be examined directly , or recorded photographically. An additional facility allows a print-out to be made of the absorption coefficients of the material at each point. This provides detailed information on the density of the tissue in each picture matrix point and represents an alternative aid to the diagnosis of certain conditions. The system may be used for investigating a wide range of conditions , in many cases revealing information which cannot be gained by other means. It is the only satisfactory method for detecting minute 58 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �variations in soft tissue which would be well outside the discrimination of conventional X-ray, or radioactive techniques. The C.A.T.T. overcomes the limitations of conventional X-ray techniques. These limitations are due primarily to low sensitivity, so that a feature has to be COI1\paratively thick or dense to register on the photograph at all, and the confusion of information on the X-ray plate caused by the superimposition of three-dimensional information on a two-dimensional photograph. Studies of conventional X-ray techniques have indicated that only about one-hundredth part of the information potentially available from the radiation of X-rays is actually realized on the photographic record. These problems are compounded in brain examinations since the dense bone tissue of the skull completely surrounds the soft tissue of the brain. Variations in bone thickness completely obliterate details of brain tissue. Prior to the development of the C.A.T.T., the radiological methods most commonly used for investigating brain conditions were straightforward X-rays, angiography, ventriculography (pheumography), or radioactive isotope brain scan. These provide valuable diagnostic information but have significant attendant disadvantages . These disadvantages include the need for a specialized medical staff to be in attendance and the injection of the patient with radioactive material, or contrast media, such as air or radio-opaque substances. Apart from straightforward X-rays, these procedures normally require the patient to spend a varying period in the hospital. The indications for doing the test would be in all cases that now use skull X-rays,. Brain scans, Echoencephalograms, Penumoencephalograms or Angiograms. It is the firm belief of the Dent Neurologic lnstitu te of the Millard Fillmore Hospital, that the C.A.T.T. as an entirely new technique for clinical neurologic study of the brain will rank with other major milestones - Quicke's introduction of spinal puncture in 1891; Roentgen ' s discovery of the X-ray in 1895; Dandy ' s Pneumoencephalography in 1918; Monig's demonstration of Angiography in 1927; Bergner's monography in EEG in 1929. 0 WINTER, 1975 59 Mr. Sam Miller, bio-medical engineer, and Dr. Kinkel study the keyboard which will allow them to focus on a graphic display of brain scans. An enlarged, non-fade viewer showing test results is above. During the last year, 3,600 CA TT tests have been conducted. They test patients during the day "read" the results in the evening. Dr. Kinkel is a 1954 graduate of the Medical School. He is a clinical associate professor of neurology and anatomical sciences. �The Raison D'ETRE of the Medical Alumni Association Dr. Maloney Dr. Maloney is an associate clinical professor of medicine at the Medical School, and chairman of the department of medicine at Mercy Hospital. He is the immediate past president of the New York State Society of Internal Medicine, and a Diplomate, American Board of Internal Medicine. It is traditional f or University medical alumni to cherish fond memories for the Institution which provided them with the education, training, and qualifications required for the pursuit of their vocational goals in the fields of research, teaching or clinical practice. Thus, the Alumni Organization was formed to act as a vehicle of communication through which the Alumni could interact and relate to the Administration of the University as well as to their fellow Alumni. And it has been the custom to support and promote the continued growth and educational excellence of the Alma Mater. Such support is expressed through fund raising campaigns, Alumni loyalty funds, Century Club or through the personal commitment of time to the University as a volunteer faculty member. Another function of the Medical Alumni Association is to interact with the student body to offer professional guidance, preceptorship experience, and to contribute toward the financial support for student scholarship funds and other demonstrated needs. Last but not least is the Alumni Association's Spring Clinical Days Program which is an annual effort for the provision of Post-Graduate Education in a reunion environment. Alumni reunion functions are coordinated and organized through the office of the Medical Alumni Association and we continue to receive enthusiastic response from our Alumni for this annual pilgrimage. It is unfortunate that the major part of the foregoing activities can find no line or column in the State Budget which provides funds for academic salaries, buildings, maintenance, and basic educational needs. The limited nature of such resources can never build a great university and only through a combination of public funds and private philanthropy can our University achieve any real degree of eminence. For the past decade we have had no formal vehicle for giving to the Medical School and there had been confusion and uncertainty when solicitations were made from the General Alumni Loyalty Fund, the Century Club, etc. However, it is noteworthy that the Medical Alumni Association, working with the General Alumni Association, the U.B. Foundation, and the Administration has effected for the first time a change in the Century Club Program whereby Alumni contributions may be designated or earmarked for the Medical School or other specific areas of the University. The needs of the Medical School are apparent and have been defined by our new Dean, Dr. John Naughton. Both Dr. Naughton and Dr. F. Carter Pannill, Vice-President for Health Sciences, have expressed support for the U/ B Medical Alumni Association and we sense a coordinated effort for medical leadership along with a renewed University awareness for its students, alumni, and the community in which they function. So, let's not settle for mediocrity which may be ordained by the limitation and sanctions of a State Budget. Let's get behind our new Dean and the Medical School with our personal financial contributions to the Century Club and to the Reunion Programs when we meet. Let's put the Medical School back on top where it belongs. M . C. MALONEY, M.D. President, Medical Alumni Association SUNYAB 60 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"Rudy" Williams Rudolph M. Williams 'is the new assistant dean, Office of Medical Education. In his new assignment, the 27-year-old North Carolinian will handle student counseling, financial aid, admissions (especially minorities) as well as recruitment of faculty and students. Following graduation from Howard University in 1970 with a Bachelor degree in Business Management, Mr. Williams was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserves. Before he came to Buffalo in September 1972 to coordinate financial aid and head a subcommittee on minority admissions and recruitment of minority students as Assistant to the Dean at the School of Medicine, he gained wide administrative experience while working at the University of Pennsylvania, Howard University, and the National Medical Association. A 1936 Medical School graduate enjoys living in rural Maine. Or. Richard W. Britt works part-time at a Blue Hill, Maine hospital and spends the rest of his time on his 20 acres of woods, yard and garden. He moved from Buffalo in 1967 " to get away from the rat race." The Britts live in an old white farmhouse that overlooks Blue Hill Bay. Or. Britt dabbles at woodworking, repairs clocks for neighbors, raises goats, and drives a little Japanese pick-up truck. Blue Hill had only two doctors when the Britts and their two children, now grown, moved here. Now it has six. During the same period (1967 -1975) the coastal town has attracted three lawyers, a banker, two or three architects and a number of teachers, nearly all from the cities. Boating drew the Britt family to Maine. They had taken several sailing vacations up and down the Maine coast before they moved eight years ago . Or. Britt and his wife have no regrets. They wonder why they did not move sooner. " We love rural living. Blue Hill is classically New England. Its streets are scrubbed, its steeples are erect and the whole town is immaculate. When you drive down the hill and enter the town you will see why people leave the city and move here." 0 WINTER, 197 5 61 / Mr. Williams Dr. Richard Britt �98 Faculty Promotions The following 98 Medical School faculty members received promotions effective July 1, 1975.

Berger �"A master teacher, his influence is active today m the teaching faculty of our Medical School." by Drs. Ivan L. Bwme ll and Jo h n W . Boy lan One of this Medical-Dental Schools' great teachers, Fred R . Griffith , died on September 7 of this year. He had been Professor and Chairman of the Department of Physiology, School of Medicine, from 1923 until his retirement in 1956. During those years thousands of medical and dental students listened to him tell the story of human physiology. He did it quietly, succinctly, with brilliant clarity and with restrained elegance. We would like to call him " Griff" now as he was always called (in his absence) by students and young faculty who never addressed him but by his proper title. A Physiology Department today has many members and each gives a few lectures a year, in his special field, to medical or dental students. For most of his teaching life Griff gave all the lectures every year and gave them superbly. Dr. Griffith obtained his B.A. degree at Washington University, St. Louis and his M .A. in Physiology at the same institution in 1915. After a few years of undergraduate teaching he went to Harvard and took his doctorate training under the great . Walter Cannon, receiving his Ph.D. in Physiology in 1921. There followed two years as an Assistant Professor of Physiology at Harvard and then the call to Buffalo. Griff had never thought of coming to Buffalo until he met Frederick Pratt, a neighbor in the laboratory next to his at Harvard. Pratt had come from Buffalo where he had shortly before their meeting published his epoch-making demonstration of the ali-or-none operation of skeletal muscle. Griff's admiration of Pratt's experimental technique and decisive analysis in solving one of Dr. G riffith the most perplexing questions in Physiology started the train of events that led him to the old Medical School at 24 High Street. Pratt was succeeded at Buffalo by Dr. Frank Hartman and it was Hartman, a former Teaching Fellow at Harvard, who recruited the young Fred Griffith as his first Associate Professor. For the next several years Hartman was totally occupied in isolating and testing the active principle of the adrenal cortex so that most of the teaching load fell upon Griff, and this arrangement suited him completely. Griff's own research, stimulated originally by his work with Cannon, centered about the metabolic and calorigenic effects of adrenalin. Some SO publications attest to his methodical and searching studies on the actions of this hormone. His " Studies in Human Physiology," a series of papers in the American Journal of Physiology, were the distillation of exhaustive data-gathering and provided investigators with values for normal human functions that remain useful even today. Griff left another legacy, more admired than read, in his Index and Annotated Bibliography of Adrenaline, a monumental compilation spanning 30 years of his life. The dedicatory lines and short " Forward" of this work are so much the essence of Griff that one can see him bending over the page. They also are samples of his meticulous and measured prose. But it is as a teacher that we remember him and his imprint remains on more than one generation of teachers in our Medical-Dental Schools-Ramsdell Gurney, George Kopf, Edgar Hummel, David Greene, George Brady, Beverly Bishop, Lawrence Golden and, among many others, the writers of this text. He brought us back to basic things and set an example of scholarship. His lectures were individual works of art. Everything fell into place, nothing was hurried or left incomplete. The events of the Cardiac Cycle, we remember, unfolded like a blueprint across the blackboard. There was no jumbled crowding in the last minutes of the hour. It was like the completion of a play, the curtain came down, you were left satisfied and fulfilled . It is pleasant to report that Griff's retirement from the University of Buffalo marked the beginning of a long and gratifying second career, as Professor of Biology at D ' Youville College. Here, with the utmost content, he continued to use his mastery of exposition and his great gift as a teacher almost to the end of his life. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �In Memoriam Dr. Rudolph E. Siegel, clinical associate professor of medicine EMERITUS died September 30 after a short illness. The 75-year old internist/ heart specialist achieved an international reputation as a medical history scholar. He was elected one of the few American members of the prestigious International Academy of the History of Medicine {1970) for his books on the medical concepts of Claudius Galen, a 2nd century Greek physician whose teachings dominated medicine for 1500 years. One British medical journal called the works of Dr. Siegel " the most significant contribution to Galenic literature in a century. " Dr. Siegel's interest in medical history was sparked by his father, also a physician, and his close friendship with the late Dr. Ernest Witebsky, a renowned authority on medical history. Some 30 papers on scientific and medical subjects were published by Dr. Siegel. Many were translations of ancient Latin, Greek, French and German texts. He had just completed a fourth book, a translation of a first century Latin treatise on disease. Born and trained in Germany, Dr. Siegel anticipated the repression that would come with Hitler and left the country in 1933 to work at the Jewish Hospital in Cairo. He came to Buffalo in 1938, set up a practice in his home on West Delavan Avenue. He retired in 1972 to devote his full time to research. A gentle, soft-spoken man, he once explained his fascination for medical history by pointing out that the methods and observations of the ancients are more important than their often inexact conclusions, and that enabled modern medicine to develop to its present advanced state. Dr. Siegel was presented a plaque at a testimonial dinner " in recognition of his distinguished contributions to the history of medicine" by the Medical Historical Society of Western New York and the School of Medicine, March 16, 1975. A Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine, he was a member of the American Board of Cardiology, and of local, state, and national medical societies. Dr. Anthony J.

Second class postage paid at Buffalo, New York. Please notify us of change of address. Copyright 1975 by The Buffalo Physician. SPRING, 1975 1 �-- --~ - ~ - -- - From the desk of PaulL. Weinmann, M'54 President, Medical Alumni Association The Virture of Friendship As we complete the first quarter of 1975 in a society engaged in socio-economic turmoil with its inevitable anxieties , it is interesting to note that some virtues retain their salutary value. Such a virtue is friendship . Throughout the ages, the value of friendship has been appreciated and praised . We need only recall the admonitions of the Stoics; of Hillel and Jesus who promulgated the Golden Rule, and more recently the dictum of Kant who established the moral imperative that the only "absolutely good" thing is good-will. It is the intention of doing good that counts. Cooperation not confrontation is the key . The agape ethic of love of one' s fellow man is still valid . We physicians should never forget that the healing profession implies ~he commitment to defy blind fate thereby retrieving and salvaging good health and dignity. We must continually dedicate our resources to e.xtend the power of our minds and spirit in the interest of those who seek and need our help. This is friendship. This dedication and applied energy will ultimately benefit our patients and thereby our whole society , including ourselves. If this spirit of friendship and cooperation can obtain throughout our health service community, the much-feared abuses in patient care which darken the horizon could be eliminated . As Medical School Alumni , our example can establish ongoing improvement in every aspect of Medicine. " 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �When the 1949 class had their 25th reunion last spring they presented a $4,150.00 check to the Medical School to purchase audiovisual tape cassette equipment. Dr. F.

Birth Defects Study There are a group of fatal birth defects which are caused by enzyme deficiencies. With a $12,402 March of Dimes grant, biochemist Miriam Meisler hopes to learn how the inherited deficiency of an enzyme known as beta galactosidase is implicated in several diseases . In these diseases, the assistant professor of biochemistry points out, the absence or inactivity of this enzyme disrupts the body's normal metabolic pathways. As a result, complex glycolipid or fatty material accumulates in cells of the brain, causing permanent neurological damage. By using mice with various genetic mutations, the young investigator will try to determine whether more than one gene is involved in regulating this enzyme and whether there are genetic mutation that may affect different parts of the enzyme molecule. "This may make it function in different ways ," she said. It is also possible for insufficient quantities of a normal enzyme molecule to be produced. "We need to know which type of gene defect is involved before we can treat the inherited enzyme deficiency in man, " Dr. Meisler said. Perhaps her experimental model will reveal the answer. In her research on the human disease known as GM, gangliosidosis where there is no B-galactosidase activity, she has found an inactive galactosidase protein. "It points to a structural gene mutation, " she said. And because the protein itself is defective Dr. Meisler feels that enzyme replacement therapy is in order. Dr. Meisler is one of 57 U.S . investigators awarded a Basil O'Connor Starter Research grant. This program, named in honor for the man who led the National Foundation March of Dimes since its inception in 1938 until his death in 1972, enables young scientists to start their own research on birth defects. ') 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Hanson watches Margaret Weyer seal up a new knitted bedsheet in the revived factory. A New Career A 1948 Medical School graduate has a new career. For the last 18 years Dr. Warren H. Hanson, 52, has been a surgeon at Warsaw, N .Y. Early in 197 4 he plunged into the manufacturing business when he re-opened the Warsaw Knitting Mills. "We had our first payroll last February 23, " Dr. Hanson said. He has 33 people on the payroll and has given new life to an old and partly abandoned knitting mill. "I enjoy it. It's a change of pace from medicine and we may even make some money. And starting up a business is good for Warsaw too." When Dr. Hanson leaves the Wyoming Community Hospital he can concentrate on keeping up with orders, getting satisfactory raw materials and meeting the payroll. Dr. Hanson is the first to admit that he has a good partner, Mr. Robin Lamb, who runs the knitting mill efficiently. Warsaw Mills' chief product at the moment is something new in bedwear. It is a knitted cotton, fitted sheet and a knitted cotton pillowcase. "They are brand new on the market and they're not cheap. We think they are better than percale woven sheets," Dr. Hanson said. The fitted sheets were first proposed for hospital beds because they stretch, but now they are headed for the general market. They are softer, weigh less and don't need ironing. Dr. Hanson said a friend of a New York advertising man came up with a knitted cotton fabric and needed a plant to change the fabric into product. The old knitting mill in Warsaw, which once made stockings and shirts, had been idle for about four years- except for occasional use as a warehouse. When the mill re-opened Dr. Hanson and Mr. Lamb brought in about 40 sewing machines and related gadgetry. Except for automation, which would cost too much, the Warsaw Knitting Mills are modern. In addition to sheets and pillowcases the mill also makes thermal underwear. "We have orders from department stores in Chicago, Miami, New York and Buffalo. Anyone can make our product, but we are about one year ahead of anyone else," Dr. Hanson said. 0 SPRING, 1975 9 �,, J D• waro J FLIWr<o<j"''N ... .J M S.. HI L...L. H <"~EE D,.., N ~ t FRCN<LA O( H oLT Medicine- A Half Century Ago W hat was it like to attend medical school during the prosperous years and to graduate just before the Great Depression? What was it like a half century ago? A quarter of the Class of 1928- at their Class Reunion during 37th Annual Spring Clinical Days- reflected on the past, shared the present, and speculated on the future . Among them were class officers of almost 50 years ago- Drs. Thelma Brock, Walter King, and Bruno Schutkeker. "To enter medical school in those days one only had to fill out forms in the Bursar's Office," recalled Dr. King, a deceptively younglooking 71-year-old ophthalmologist. "There were no interviews. Most who applied were accepted." Dr. Brock, a Buffalo internist and early proponent of women' s rights, agrees. "There were seven women in our class. " That about matches the percentage accepted in present-day classes. Only three however graduated. Getting in seemed quite easy for good Buffalo students, she recalls. The tuition? Just about $400 a year for the then private medical school. Pre-med was only a two-year course. Fifty-nine of the original class of 72 made it to 1928, Dr. King said. " They graduated." Twenty others were left by the wayside while seven were picked up as transfer students. Many stayed in Buffalo and are now volunteer faculty members. "We were really an average class, not too studious minded but a well-balanced group of fellows," seemed to be the general consensus at the Reunior•. 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �J. ., MA(t(oV•i'2.. 13 ,..,A.zv ~o wS k t .J ""'f=lAU'ftt1. f ~ so J l<o"€ " 6E'Ii/<;- o.

Only two owned fraternity houses where medical students could live and eat. "It was important to belong," Dr. King said, "for it was the only place where you could meet with other classes." Sometimes teachers were invited and there would be study sessions. Although Dr. King lived at home he did join one. He remembers the initiation rites- the blindfold, the stripping, and the unbelievable but real branding by hot iron of the initials O.U.P. onto cold flesh while being held firmly by an upperclassman. There were two semesters of anatomy for the freshmen as well as neurology, histology, embryology, and chemistry. "On the day of the final exams we waited to learn who would be exempted because of very good records. As soon as about 15 of us were excused, we took right off for the Burlesque Show," Or. King recalls with a smile. The old fourth floor anatomy lab was then located on High Street. Two cadavers were assigned per table of four students. While half the team spent a semester on the upper torso, the other half were involved with the lower. "It worked out well," Or. King recalls. "For half the team could always share their knowledge with the other two." The cadavers were placed on tables on both sides of the long dissecting room. There was a continual fight over cadavers. "We all wanted to dissect the leaner ones," he said. " They had been preserved in formaldehyde and the fat stank of it. It was quite an experience, our first walk between those two rows of cadavers." Interesting things happened in the anatomy class. One of the boys carved a heart out of a blood clot and presented it to one of the girls. Another student found an extra kidney and someone got it for a locket. The only way that "Tessie" could recall handling a cadaver was to think SPRING, 1975 1-J ~;. -- ~ £ MtKoVtJCZ..ItK 11 Th e " branding " . OT¢ d- �Th e 1928 class at a recent reunion.

I could not handle it otherwise," she said. " Something about mutilating a face was abhorent to me. " Most of the class were Buffalonians who worked their way through school. " We were a hardworking group," Dr. King said. " Many worked in clinics, on hospital jobs, and at the Lackawanna Steel Plant." Many of the graduates became general practitioners. At that time there were relatively few specialties. Some went on to residency, some to institutions, and some just practiced following graduation. Internships were not required at that time. Dr. Brock recalled some of the women in her class: Helen Walker who worked in TB and trained at the Meyer, Jeanne Fronczak Bukowski who has just retired from an active general practice, Ev Driscoll, the sweetheart of the class, who was later " busted" after failing anatomy but went on to become a successful teacher. Another girl, she recalled , who was busted from the class started medical school again in another city, graduated, and practiced successfully for many years. And Joe Scaccia became a lawyer and practiced law. Internship year began in 1928. It was soon followed by the stock market crash and the start of the Great Depression. Dr. King went to Prague and Vienna to work in eye clinics there. He returned in 1932 to open a practice in Buffalo. " I started with no patients and no money. The first years were hard. " Buffalo , he said, is unique in that ophthalmology and otolaryngology are separate specialties. Here they are not combined as in some sections of the United States. 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"Those were the happiest years of my life," Dr. Brock recalls on looking back. "Many of us in the medical class were first-generation immigrants whose parents were determined to establish independence for their children. " She became a doctor because her father, whom she admired and from whom she learned her best values, encouraged it. " Doctors, in those days, were the foundations of society. It was the fulfillment of a wonderful kind of dream to become one," she said. She recalls early advice from her father. " When a patient comes into the office and is frightened, find out why. It doesn' t make much sense to give someone a prescription if he cannot pay for it. If you make a house call and there are no groceries, bring some. And if the patient wants to pay with potatoes or cookies, accept them. My father was a poor man. He understood such things," she said. An early warning in the anatomy class was followed by much better grades in physiology, Dr. Brock recalls. There was also an opportunity to work in the offices of Dr. Abe Aaron. Here she received $12.50 a week (it included carfare) to do gallbladder research. There was also an ex ternship at the Buffalo General Hospital with Dr. James Sullivan whom she worshipped. And there was graduation as part of the upper third in the class. Her applications for a surgery experience met with no responses. An ob/gyn residency did however open for Dr. Brock at Women' s Hospital in Philadelphia. She then returned to Buffalo to open her own office. " It was over a barber shop on Jefferson and Ferry Streets," she recalls. " My father furnished the tiny waiting room and office with thE' prettiest bamboo furniture and linoleum available. After making the down payment on my car and paying my first month's rent he said ' you are now on your own'." Dr. Kin:<.

"After we finished our hospital training we again made calls together." A fee of $35 included prenatal care for six weeks of postpartem care for mother and child. One house call was in Black Rock during the height of a snow storm. "We delivered a baby and our fee was $35," Or. Brock said. "The father offered us a fifty dollar bill and together we didn't have fifteen dollars to make change. We offered to return the next morning. We did. And we found an empty house- no furniture, no mother, no baby, no husband. It was part of practicing in those days," she continued. Dr. Brock recalls another house call to a woman who they found on an attic floor. "She was bleeding profusely. We suspected an abortion and arranged for her immediate transfer to Sisters Hospital. Sisters accepted her but reprimanded me with 'Sisters Hospital doesn't approve of abortions', " she recalled. "We didn't have antibiotics, sophisticated equipment or intensive care units to help us but we did learn to be good clinicians," Or. Brock said. That's what it was like, to practice medicine almost a half century ago.O Nutrition and man is the subject of a series of nutrition conferences sponsored by the department of biochemistry. Between January 28, and March 15 six experts in the field reviewed the latest research and clinical findings on how diet and various diseases are related, how it affects normal man, and the nutritional needs of various age groups. They also touched on public health issues/nutrition. They were - Drs. George Kerr, Robert McGandy, Guillermo Herrera, Jean Mayer, Kenneth C. Hayes and Stanley Gershoff, all from the Harvard School of Public Health. The series is part of a health sciences teaching and general education program that is open to the University community and public. It is the result of cooperation between the University department of biochemistry and the Harvard School of Public Health. A question and discussion period follows each of the talks held on Tuesdays at noon in Capen G-22.

SPRING, 1975 15 Nutrition Conferences �-- ------ A Profile of Our First Faculty by Oliver P. Jones, Ph.D. , M.D. Distinguished Professor - - - - E IGHT BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES have been published about our first faculty since the spring issue of the Buffalo Physician was published in 1973. It was only after their completion that a profile or summary of the first faculty could be compiled. It is now possible to dispel a couple of erroneous beliefs about that faculty , namely, all of the professors did not graduate from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Western New York at Fairfield, and only four professors came here from Geneva Medical College. The profile has been categorized as follows: 1) Date and place of birth; 2) Father's occupation; 3) Pre-professional education; 4) Medical education; 5) Where M.D. was conferred; 6) Teaching experience prior to appointment at Buffalo; 7) Age when appointed to faculty ; 8) Length of service at Buffalo; 9) Cause of death and age, and 10) Religious affiliation . The oldest members were Charles Coventry and Alfred Lee- born in 1801 and the youngest members were George Hadley and Frank Hamilton - born in 1813. James Webster was the only foreign born professor- Lancashire, England. Three came from New York State and three from New England. Three were sons of physicians, three had fathers who were farmers and soldiers and one - W ebster' s fath er was a printer and publisher. Flint alone was fourth in succession of a medical ancestry. The pre-professional training of the seven professors was as diversified as the dates and places of their birth. Hadley and Hamilton held baccalaureate degrees from Hamilton and Union Colleges respectively and Lee had a master's degree from Williams. Austin Flint received a liberal education at Amherst and Cambridge. Coventry and Webster attended public schools in their respective cities - Utica and Philadelphia. White commenced his classical studies with the Rev. John C. Lord, D.O. and later attended Middlebury Academy. Four of the professors studied medicine at Fairfield but only two - Coventry and Hadley- graduated from there. Flint attended Harvard Medical School throughout as did Lee at Berkshire Medical College. Hamilton and Webster both graduated from the University of Pennsylvania after they had attended Fairfield and the University of Maryland respectively. White started at Fairfield but was graduated from Jefferson Medical College. When the University Council appointed the seven professors in 1846, Lee was the oldest at 45 years and Hadley the youngest member of the faculty at 33 years of age. The average age for the first faculty was slightly over thirty-eight years. The difference in their age span was less than the difference in the length of time they had been teaching prior to their appointment at Buffalo. Webster was a private tutor in anatomy for two years before he taught at the Philadelphia Anatomical Room for eight years. He then spent ten years as professor of anatomy at Geneva. This gave him a total of twenty years' teaching experience. At the other end of the spectrum- White had no teaching experience, Flint one year, and Lee two years. Hamilton had eleven years and Coventry fifteen years' teaching experience. By the time of their appointment at Buffalo, Charles A. Lee had probably contributed more to the medical literature than any of the other professors- even though he had only two years' teaching experience. 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSIC IAN �The original faculty remained intact for five years which was a record in the days of pioneer peripatetic medical professors. Coventry and Webster resigned in 1851 and Coventry was nominated as our first Emeritus Professor. Flint taught at Buffalo on two occasions for a total of nine years. Lee resigned after fifteen years and the faculty elected him Emeritus Professor of Materia Medica and Hygiene. Of the five professors who tendered their resignations to the faculty, only Hamilton - according to the Minute Book- was urged by the Dean to reconsider his decision but he declined to do so and left for the Long Island College Hospital at Brooklyn in 1860. Two of the original faculty died while occupying their original chairs - Hadley for thirty-one and White for thirty-five years. George Hadley, who had worked as his father's assistant at Geneva, came to Buffalo by way of the University of Missouri and a Canadian Mining Company. Perhaps his father had been considered for the position but it was George who became our first Professor of Chemistry and Pharmacy. Webster was the first of the original faculty to die. He succumbed to chronic heart disease at age 53. Hadley was 64 years old when he died from valvular heart disease. The remaining five of the original faculty all achieved their three score and ten years or more. White died from heart failure when he was seventy and one half years old. Lee suffered from endocarditis and died at age 71. Both Hamilton and Coventry had chronic pulmonary disease when they died. Coventry was two months less than seventy-four and Hamilton was 73. Dr. Flint died in the harness, stricken, as he had always hoped might be the case when his time should come, with a swiftly fatal and almost painless disease cerebral hemorrhage. The religious persuasion of the original faculty was entirely protestant. Coventry, Lee and White were episcopalians and Hadley and Webster were presbyterians. All we know about the remaining two is that they were protestants. However, all were catholic in their views regarding the practice of medicine and patient care. This profile of our first faculty does not include the Demonstrator of Anatomy, Dr. Corydon LaFord, because in those days only the seven Professors who occupied the seven Chairs in the Medical Department were considered the faculty. When one considers that the Demonstrator was appointed annually and had to provide subjects (cadavers) not only for the dissecting room, but also for the Professors of Anatomy and Surgery, without any expense to the college, it now seems incredible that anyone would want the job. In addition, it was understood that the cadavers were "to be obtained in such a manner, as not to compromise the interests of the institution." The Demonstrator's fee was $5.00 per student and he did not charge more for the anatomical material than was sufficient to cover the actual cost of obtaining it. Dr. LaFord was the first teacher at the University of Buffalo, but it was Dr. Austin Flint who first met the students in his capacity as Registrar and Treasurer- collecting from each a three dollar matriculation fee and sixty-five dollars for the course tickets.

Bone Pathology Laboratory - ~ T HERE Is BETTER EVALUATION and treatment for patients with bone injury and disease because of information gained in one of a handful of bone pathology laboratories in this country that is located in Buffalo. It is part of the University department of orthopaedics . Here, correlation of pathologic, clinical, and radiographic findings has not only led to more patients being helped surgically but to sounder teaching and research programs. " Among materials that we prepare in the laboratory," Dr. Mindell, professor and chairman of the department of orthopaedics said, " are bone specimens from patients with tumors, fractures , infections, arthritis, metabolic bone disease, and congenitally-determined abnorrnali ties." These materials are received from area hospitals. The laboratory is equipped with specimen Xray facilities , dark rooms , and special saws for cutting . Here Henry Sallrnan, chief bone pathology technician , prepares the large histological sections which often require special staining techniques. Not only are these materials available for study by residents and students but copies of clinical X-rays, photographs of gross specimens, the large histological sections, and followup clinical data on each case as well. Because all pertinent information is integrated - from a patient's clinical course to careful study of X-rays, detailed examination of gross and microscopic pathology, and laboratory data synthesized through techniques used 'oy clinicians, radiologists , and pathologists, Dr. Mindell believes that the teaching program for residents and medical students is a sound one. Since about 70 percent of all physicians will see some patients with musculoskeletal cornplaints, Dr. Mindell feels that basic principles of diagnosis and treatment of these complaints should be available to all medical students. " This laboratory is of value in preparing necessary material for this instruction," he said. Many patients have been helped by information gained in the laboratory. For one, a 25-yearold woman, clinical/radiographic/ histological information pointed to a slowly-growing bone cancer. " We not only were able to save her life by removing the sarcoma," Dr. Mindell said, " but her arm as well. " d- 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �- Drs. Mindell, Harold Vandersea (orthopaedic resident), and Daniel Wild (junior medical student) go over radiological, pathological, and clinical evidence of fracture case. Daniel Wild uses one of sound/ slide programs specifically prepared for medical students. 19 �Dr. M indell and Henry Sallman study entire humerus that was removed from patient and replaced with large cadaver bone graft. William Headley helps Henry Sallman shave off slice of fibrosarcoma with pathological fracture. Henry Sallman prepares large histological section. �The tumor, which included most of her humerus, was resected and the defect replaced with a large cadaver bone graft. "We all learned a great deal of clinical medicine, anatomy, and pathology from her case," he said. Dr. Mindell' s interest in bone pathology dates back to his training days at the University of Chicago under world-famed Drs. Dallas Phemister and Howard Hatcher. "Orthopaedics," he said, " is not a narrow branch of surgery. It has an underlying discipline which is riormal and abnormal functioning of the musculoskeletal system." Among new methods in treating arthritic patients has been total joint replacement. "It has brought relief to thousands," Dr. Mindell continued. Through study of these surgicallyremoved specimens he feels that basic abnormalities at work in both degenerative and rheumatoid arthritis can be uncovered. Much of an orthopaedist's daily work is to care for patients who are injured, he explained. " We have considerable material to help us understand and treat the nonunion of fractures." Detailed pathological studies of fracture healing specimens have led to improved treatment techniques. Correlation of clinical history, radiographic findings , and pathological abnormalities has also led to a better understanding of how the musculoskeletal system reacts to bone infections such as osteomyelitis. Among other problems studied in the laboratory are etiology of bone sarcoma, patterns of degenerative arthritis, asceptic necrosis of bone adjacent to joints, and renal osteodystrophy. From Dr. Mindell's interest in the mechanism of cartilage formation has come a better understanding of the changes seen in joint arthroplasties. While looking at fracture callus in animals he found that intermittant mechanical forces lead to cartilage formation . Collaborative studies are also underway with general surgeons on the effects of starvation and sepsis in bone repair of animals. An interest in better methods to manage pathological fractures has led to the use of internal fixation supplemented by methyl methacrylate, a bone cement. " It allows our patients to become ambulatory after a few days," Dr. Mindell said. Variety in both clinical services and training programs in the major teaching hospitals may well be the key to Buffalo having one of the soundest resident training programs in the country. " All of these orthopaedic facilities have been combined into one program," Dr. Mindell continued. And while residents rotate through each unique center where specialty clinics may range from those for fracture, cerebral palsy, amputeed-- Drs. Mind el/ and ]ames M c Coy rev i ew radi o g raphic eviden ce o f total knee replacem ent. SPRING, 1975 21 �--- -------- - Drs. Mind ell and ]ames McCoy appear as pleased with results of total knee and hip replacement as is patient. hand surgery to bone tumor, scoliosis, and growth and development problems, they meet regularly with faculty at orthopaedic conferences. Dr. Mindell is quick to point to a dedicated volunteer faculty. "Without them we could not function," he said. "For they not only participate in our many orthopaedic conferences, but are dedicated teachers on hospital wards, clinics and operating rooms." There are many multidisciplinary approaches to better patient care and teaching programs. One, a University arthritis program, has a coordinated medicine/orthopaedic approach. The orthopaedic aspects are being developed by Dr. Theodore Papademetriou and is centered at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. Each teaching hospital has unique clinical services and training programs. At the Meyer Dr. Mindell is assisted in the educational program by resident-oriented Dr. Papademetriou . Here, residents not only clinically evaluate, operate, and 22 follow up patients but are responsible for decision-making, diagnosis, and treatment. At the Buffalo General Hospital, where the large volume of clinical activity includes a variety of orthopaedic problems, and where a great deal of reconstructive surgery is done, Dr. James M. Cole heads the clinical service and training program. At Children's Hospital Drs. Joseph Godfrey and Richard Weiss see that residents are exposed to the many aspects of orthopaedic problems in children. These include congenital abnormalities, injuries, and developmental defects. At the Veterans Hospital, where many patients are treated for problems due to trauma, arthritis, metabolic diseases, and neoplasms, Drs. Russell Erickson and David Richards manage the training program. Here they are still seeing men injured during past wars and are rehabilitating them in a growing outpatient department. There are also three-month rotations at the THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �South Buffalo Mercy Hospital under Dr. Joseph Godfrey and at Roswell Park Memorial Institute where Dr. Mindel! is a consultant. There is additional teaching for medical students through orthopaedic electives and a new fracture conference that began this winter. Sound/ slide programs specifically prepared for medical students are also being heavily utilized . And in state crippled children' s clinics throughout Western New York, orthopaedic attendings from Children's Hospital, together with residents and students, see children with orthopaedic problems in a teaching setting. For Dr. Mindel!, orthopaedics is rewarding work. " We can achieve specific goals by our treatment and beneficially alter the natural course of disease or injury. Our work usually concludes with a happier, healthier patient," he said. 0 Dr. C ole SPRING, 1975 Dr. Richards Or. Mindell is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and has been an Examiner for the past 12 years of the Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons . After graduating from the U. of Chicago Medical School in 1945, he interned for a year at the Cincinnati General Hospital. Following a two-year stint as Lt. in the U.S.N.R. he returned to the University of Chicago to complete a residency in orthopaedic surgery and as a faculty ~ member. In 1965 he joined Buffalo's department of surgery. Ten years later he became professor and head of its division of orthopaedic surgery. It has since received full department status.

Black Students Help Neighbors Stay Well 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Black medical students in Buffalo are helping neighbors to stay well in a new clinic that is located in the inner city. Every Saturday, from 9:00 to 4 :30p.m . about 30 to 40 patients come to the fourth floor of the Office for Equal Opportunity's downtown site for a free physical examination. Here, neonates to the elderly are seen by a handful of medical, nursing , and medical technology students . All are supervised by a professional staff. " We are finally able to offer a service to the community," Gregory Keith Morton, III said. The senior medical student had spent endless hours to unravel red tape so that the clinic could open. " We now have a place where people in the community can come for free physical exams," he said, " and where we, as minority students, can add to our training in physical diagnosis in a clinic that is academically designed. " He explained that POLITY, the Medical School's student government, picks up the tab for those who cannot pay. The idea of offering free services began back in the late sixties. In the inner city's Westminster House , a breakfast program was begun by the University Black Student Union as well as a medical program directed by Dr. Haynes Robinson. Not only were patients examined by medical and dental students on table tops and in kitchen chairs, but lab tests were carried out in the kitchen . It was a poorly-equipped setting. Grego ry M orto n looks at patient's eardrum . Or. Isaiah M egge tt watches m edi cal technician Patricia A. Crow ell take blood sample f rom patient. But, reviewed Greg , during its first five months of operation- it was open only on Saturdays - more than 300 children were screened and students gained first-hand knowledge on health problems in an inner city population. In ten percent of the patients seen, students found visual defects that required correction . There were also three cases of blindness in at least one eye, others had hearing problems, and 12 cases of sickle cell traits were uncovered. The present site represents the third clinicthere was a short-stay in SUNY's Urban Center. It is the best equipped and there are games and toys for children as well as a TV and piano in a nicely-carpeted lounge. While free exams are given by medical seniors Gregory K. Morton , III, Tone Johnson, Jr. and Ronald David , " we are not asked to diagnose," Greg explained. " We only determine whether referral to a nearby hospital is necessary. " Nursing students, who are carefully instructed by a registered nurse, take histories, give visual and hearing tests, etc. A team - one junior and one senior medical student- spend about 20 minutes per patient. "We tell our patients that the physical examination is for prevention, that we do not want them to wait until they are sick," Greg d- said. SPRING, 1975 25 �Physical findings on each patient are then presented to the medical director, Dr. Harvey Butler, who is ultimately responsible for all patients. Dr. Isaiah Meggett is also available if there is a problem. After either signs the examination form, the patient has a legal document to use to fulfill school entrance or job requirements, points out Greg. In a well-equipped laboratory, medical technology students can perform a battery of tests. They may range from urinalyses to blood tests or bacterial/serologic smears. Sickle cell tests are also available on patient request. Ronald David examines patient's abdomen. Nursing student Emilda B. Bissent watches Tone Johnson, ]r. and Gregory Morton test reflexes of patient. Emilda Bissent takes patient's blood pressure. While the clinic is basically a well-health center for well people the students have found significant murmurs, urinary tract infections and suspicion of tumors in patients they have examined. There have also been chronic diseases such as bronchitis, emphesema as well as lead poisoning from paint chip ingestion. Screening tests for the latter are now underway in children. And they have seen visual problems which may prevent children from reading and learning and lead to behavior problems. 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Kathy Chavous instructs on filling out patient record form. "We do a lot of counseling," says Greg. "We learn to communicate and to relate to patients." Perhaps, through what they learn, they may be able to improve the health care system for those in the inner city. But there is also a desire to "share what we have learned with freshmen and sophomore medical students as well," Greg says. "Perhaps through lectures we can review the academic aspects of what we see in the clinic," he continued. He feels that the experience of setting up and working in this well-health clinic has made him a little more sympathetic and understanding. "Hopefully I will be a better professional with more humility. I now know what the word means." Will there be other students to carry on the work of "helping our neighbors to stay well" when he, Tone Johnson, Jr. and Ronald David graduate in June? Greg hopes so.

Harrington is a graduate of the prog ram. Family Practice Center T raining physicians to provide personal, continuous, comprehensive care to patients as members of family units is the goal of the Family Practice Center of Deaconess Hospital, 840 Humboldt Parkway in Buffalo . It became a Medical School affiliated residency program last July. " This is the third oldest family practice residency program in the United States," Dr. Robert Seller said. He is professor and chairman of Family Medicine at the Medical School and director of the Deaconess Hospital Family Practice Residency Program. Dr. Seller is also coordinating the development of other family practice residencies in Western New York. On May 1 , 15, and 24, he will sponsor a special continuing education symposium for family physicians and internists of Western New York, which will be held at Deaconess Hospital. Family practice is the newest recognized specialty in this country and the first to require recertification every seven years. Dr. John G . Robinson, associate professor of psychiatry at the Medical School, pointed out that the program provides a realistic graduate educational experience in Family Practice equal to those which have hitherto been only available in the established disciplines. As acting director of the Center, Dr. Robinson was responsible for a $375 ,000 Federal training grant last summer. Deaconess Hospital also funds the program. And in addition there is a Governor's Bill (New York State) that will provide approximately $300,000 to the Family Practice Residency Programs. 28 THE BUfFALO PHYSICIAN �An eight-week preceptorship gives second year medical students their initial exposure to family practice. Dr. Seller hopes to expand the curriculum to include all four years for U/B medical students. Sometime in the future Dr. Seller hopes to assist in providing health care for families of all U/B students. The patients who come to the Family Practice Center are treated as individuals against the background of their family and of their society as family units. One-half of the patients pay a fee for medical service. Approximately 20 per cent are on Medicare while the other 30 per cent have some type of insurance or receive medical assistance. When the family first comes to the Center, it is assigned to one of the young physicians, and from that point on the Center takes 100 per cent responsibility for meeting or arranging for that family's health care needs. The physician to whom the family is assigned sees them by appointment at the Deaconess Family Practice Center. The physician-resident is responsible for SO families during his first year in the program, and 150 families in his third year. If a consultation or referral is indicated, patients are referred to appropriate specialists. The majority of patients who need hospitalization are admitted to Deaconess Hospital under the care of members of the Center staff and appropriate consultants. The resident receives training at Deaconess and Children's Hospitals and spends some elective time with family practice preceptors in Western New York. The program emphasizes the "health care team" in responding to society's need for efficient, effective, and economic care delivery according to Dr. Seller. Ambulatory care and psycho-social problems arcr- Dr. Winford Quick, a resident, and Karen Weisbeck, team secretary, discuss a case with Dr. John Robinson, associate professor of psychiatry.

The present staff includes a psychiatrist, social worker, dietitian, nurse practitioner, and three licensed practical nurses. The Center is geared toward teaching effective methods of ambulatory family medicine. Patient education and preventive medicine is also stressed. The program started in 1970. Currently there are 32 residents in the program, who have graduated from 16 medical schools. By July 1, 1975 there will be 38 residents. The program is committed to training physicians to practice in manpower shortage areas. Several physicians who completed their residencies are practicing where there is a shortage of physicians. Two are practicing in Warsaw, New York, a rural area, while three are currently in the Armed Forces. A sixth is in Phoenix, Arizona and a seventh is taking postgraduate work at the University of Rochester in psychiatry. Three physicians completed their residencies in 1974. One entered the Navy, another is working as an emergency physician at Mercy Hospital, South Buffalo, while a third physician went to Kaiser-Permanente in Portland, Oregon. Two residents left the program. One was drafted during his second year and another left during his third year to join a group practice in Wyoming County in New York State. All applicants are carefully screened and interviewed by three members of the Medical Education Committee. All applicants must be graduated from a fully-accredited medical school. Preference is given to residents of New York or those planning to practice in the state.

Betttner, ]ablonska Harrington Lecture I I That immunology is an important tool for clinical dermatologists received added impetus from Warsaw, Poland's famed clinical dermatologist Dr. Stefania Jablonska. During her recent visit to Buffalo as a Harrington Lecturer, she pointed to the implication of autoimmunity in pemphigus and other related diseases. Autoantibodies, she said, are now accepted by all clinicians in diagnosing these diseases. Widely known for her contributions to the treatment of skin diseases, Dr. Jablonska's group was the first to clinically apply a method pioneered by a Buffalo immunodermatologist, Dr. Ernst Beutner, to diagnose pemphigus. Known as immunofluorescence testing, it is now standard procedure throughout the world for diagnosing this bullous disease which, if untreated, is almost universally fatal. While pemphigus is rare in this country, it is a common disease in Poland as well as in other parts of the world. Drs. Jablonska and Beutner continue to collaborate on the clinical application of research findings to bullous diseases. Ten years ago, she explained, Dr. Beutner discovered autoimmune components in bullous skin disease. Through this Buffalo professor of microbiology and dermatology's pioneering findings and its application for diagnosis, Dr. J ablonska is now able to successfully treat 90 percent of all of her patients who suffer from bullous diseases. She also pointed to the contributions of other Buffalo pioneers as well. From the studies of the late Dr. Ernest Witebsky and current microbiology chairman Dr. Felix Milgram have come an understanding of the autoimmune pathogenesis of pemphigus. "We now recognize its various forms through immunological phenomena and mucosa involvement," Dr. Jablonska said. For clinical dermatologists today, she feels the real problem to be that of diagnosing mixed bullous diseases. "Because they can coexist with other autoimmune diseases such as lupus erythematosis, myasthenia gravis, and pernicious anemia, only immunological evidence permits its diagnosis," Dr. Jablonska said. Underscoring the mark of a true scientist as one who finds clinical application for his findings she pointed to Dr. Beutner. " He did just that, and his IF tests have real value for humans," she continued. Many clinical dermatologists receive their training for this methodology here in Buffalo.O 34 THE BUfFALO PHYSICIAN �Individual indifference is the greatest enemy of preventive medicine, according to Dr. Daniel G. Miller, a 1948 Medical School graduate. He is director of the Preventive Medicine Institute's Strang Clinic in New York City. "Half of the 1,200,000 deaths from heart disease and stroke last year could have been avoided, and so could one-third of the 350,000 deaths from cancer," the 49-year-old cancer specialist said. Dr. Miller said when he gets a list of male patients from the computer who smoke, show signs of hypertension, obesity, and high cholesterol "I know I have a high-risk registry of people susceptible to heart disease. I immediately warn these people to get to a doctor." For patients, Dr. Miller has designed a self-administered, selfexplained health questionnaire. He has also hired a health educator to make his patients aware of their health needs and where they can get help. "Many middle-class people don't know how to use the community resources available to them. They assume they are only for the indigent." On the theory that the clinic should accept responsibility for the abnormalities it finds, Dr. Miller initiated research for colon, lung, and pancreatic cancer. He began a special program for detecting breast cancer and trained three nurses to help in detection. He hopes to train others and put them in a store-front medical information center on the street floor of the clinic. "Too many people won't accept the fact of their vulnerability," Dr. Miller said. "They cover it with indifference and this can be as great a curse as the disease itself." <) Two Alumni Honored Two Medical School alumni have been happy as "country doctors" for three decades. Drs. Carra L. Lester, M'29, and Harold H. Saxton, M'30, were honored in August by the Chautauqua-Mayville (N.Y.) Lions Club. Dr. Russell Roth, immediate past president of the AMA, addressed the dinner meeting. Both Drs. Lester and Saxton have served their communities for almost 40 years, and they hope to continue to practice because they are needed and wanted. It's been a good life, according to the two physicians, because they know not only their patients, but their patients' parents and often their grandparents. They also like the pace of living in a smaller community, away from the bustle and pollution of the city. Dr. Saxton is physician to the Chautauqua County Jail at Mayville. For 20 years he was medical director of the Chautauqua County Home and Infirmary. During that period which terminated in 1965, he obtained nearly 100 pairs of eyes for the Buffalo Eye Bank. Dr. Lester, school doctor and health officer of Chautauqua County, is a past president of the New York State Health Officers' Association, the State School Physicians' Association and the Academy of Family Practice. Both physicians admit that it is easier to visit patients in a hospital. But they prefer the more personal home visits. <) SPRING, 1975 35 Patient Indifference �38th Annual State University at Buffalo May9 and J Program STATLER HILTON HOTEL Embassy Room FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 9 9:15a.m. Registration 9:45a.m. PAULL.

M os t of them have disseminated disease. Dr. Sanes also dis cusses, however, cancer patien ts w ho were not diag nosed and treated at the institute. A Physician Faces Disseminated Reticulum Cell Sarcoma in Himself Part IV His Relationship With Other Cancer Patients And Some Of The Things He Learned From Them By Samuel Sanes, M .D . Human disease consists of any abnormality in structure and function. On M arch 1, 1975, Dr. San es' case of disseminated reticulum cell sarco ma (histiocytic ly m p homa) w as classified " a twoy ear surv iv al in remission." For the past y ear Dr. Sanes has been followed with biw eekly checkups which cover interval his to ry, p hysical examination , blo od count, other tes ts and X- ray films as sched uled. I I A surgical pathologist diagnoses structural abnormalities in gross specimens and histologic sections. He seldom, if ever, sees the patient, the living human being- man, woman or child - from whom an organ or part of an organ has been removed. For example : A 56-year-old woman with a 2 em. hard lump in her breast enters the hospital for a biopsy. From the operating room the excised lump is transported to the surgical pathologist by an OR aide or through a pneumatic tube. The pathologist examines the lump grossly and reports the microscopic diagnosis of " scirrhous carcinoma" from a cryostat-frozen section by telephone to an OR nurse or through an intercom system to the surgeon. The pa tien t- a woman with cancer of the breastA macro- and m icroscopic lesio n is to him And she is nothing more. So cancer was to me as a surgical pathologist. It had to be if I were to perform my specific diagnostic assignment in a scientific, effective way. But as a surgical pathologist-turned-lymphoma patient I came to see cancer as more than a structural abnormality in a gross specimen and a histologic section. I also saw it as involvement of the total human being in all of his relatedness to himself, to other persons, and to the world about him. I became keenly aware of the changes that cancer, particularly disseminated cancer, brings about in interpersonal relationships. The cancer patient relates quite differently from the healthy individual or the one with a benign, temporary illness to his immediate family, more distant relatives, his physician and other members of the medical team, friends and acquaintances among the laity, professional colleagues and coworkers, other cancer patients and the community (in terms of standards and services, institutions and agencies for cancer prevention and care.) 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Here in the fourth article of this series I will discuss some of the things I have learned, as a patient with disseminated cancer, through my relationship with other cancer patients during the past two years. My fellow outpatients at the cancer institute seem surprised to discover that I am a physician. Physicians, in the public's mind, never get sick. At least they never contract the same diseases that other patients do. For example: One morning in the corridor of the institute I met a lawyer in his late fifties with whom I had worked in community affairs over many years. There was a small dressing on the malar region of his left cheek. After greeting him, I asked what he was doing at the institute. He replied that he was being treated for basal cell carcinoma. I told him that I was receiving treatment for disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma. Noting his puzzlement, I explained that I had " cancer of the lymph nodes. " He was taken aback. " What!" he exlaimed, looking at me in astonishment and disbelief. " You've got to be kidding! You have cancer? You know - I never before really thought about a doctor getting cancer - being treated for it. " As a physician-patient in the lymphoma-leukemia clinic of the cancer institute, I have found myself a source for information, a partner for scientific discussion, a depository for confidences, and a provider of assurance and personal example to other cancer patients. Hearing me addressed as " Dr. Sanes" by the clinic secretary, nurse or nurse's aide, some patients ask if I am a medical doctor. Learning that I am, certain of them proceed to put professional questions to me questions that they say they hesitate to ask the physicians who are looking after them. (Perhaps they are just using me to check on those physicians.) " How come they didn' t do an abdominal operation on me and take my spleen out as they do with other patients?" .. . " Why have they changed my chemotherapy?" ... " What do they mean I'm in a remission? My lymph nodes are just as large as they ever were." ... "Did you attend the lecture last week at which that scientist from the National Cancer Institute spoke on the treatment of Hodgkin's Disease? Did he say anything about the drugs I'm on and whether they prolong life? If there's no good evidence that they do, I'm stopping them. The side effects are just too much." Of course I handle patients' questions gingerly. My suggestion is always " Why don' t you ask your physician? He knows everything about your condition and will be glad to answer you. " When possible, I alert the physician to his patient's concerns. d- SPRING, 1975 39 W elcomed by Pat M cMillon, secretary of th e lymphom a- leukemia c-linic, Dr. Sanes reg isters at 9 A M for his checku p. �A college English instructor, compelled by his illness to retire, has been disillusioned with me, I'm afraid, as a knowledgeable co-discusser of the scientific aspects of lymphoma-leukemia. When he found out that I was a physician and a pathologist to boot, he talked to me at length, analytically, about lymphoma-leukemia in general and even individual cell types. He had no qualms about differing with my beliefs and impressions, accumulated over 42 years in pathology. He spends much of his time reading up on his disease lymphocytic lymphosarcoma with involvement of peripheral and internal nodes and viscera. I have a hunch he knows more about the latest medical literature on lymphoma-leukemia than most physicians, even those specializing in the field. Certainly he has read more than I. He can't figure out why I don't read more, and he often refers me to the most recent articles. When he has done so, he'll ask me, the next time we meet in the clinic, whether I have read the articles (nearly always I haven't, to his disappointment) and, if so, seek my opinions on the data and conclusions to compare with his. Cheryl Krull, hematology lab technologist, takes blood for hemoglobin determination, hematocrit, white blood cell and platelet counts, and differential wbc count. As to being a depository for confidences, let me cite the middleaged woman in her fifties who sat next to me one morning in the surgical clinic where I was waiting to have the sutures removed after a third biopsy. She was reserved and noncommunicative until she heard a nurse address me as "Dr. Sanes." Then her whole manner changed. She confided to me that she had been operated upon a few years previously for cancer of the colon and had returned upon the advice of her family physician for a checkup for possible metastases. She poured out the most intimate medical and personal details. "I wouldn't tell these things to any other patient," she explained, "but I know that I can tell them to you because you're a doctor." (Incidentally, she resided in a small town about 150 miles from Buffalo. Her family physician, who had delivered all her children, had been a classmate of mine in the U/B Medical School. I haven't seen him in nearly 40 years.) The fact that I, a physician, have disseminated lymphoma has seemed to provide a special feeling of assurance, probably even of pride, for other patients with the same disease under similar treatment. In the first weeks after my diagnosis, waiting my turn for daily radiation therapy, I overheard an inpatient, a wispy, gray-haired little woman in a pink robe, whisper to another, younger, patient from the women's ward: "Do you see that man over there? (indicating me with a nod of her head). He's a Buffalo doctor. He's got the same disease we have. Getting the same treatment too." 40 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �As a physician-patient, I have felt from the beginning the responsibility to provide assurance and to set an example for other cancer patients by my own reaction to my disease. Even when I was suffering the darkest fears and the worst sideeffects of treatment, once I entered the lymphoma-leukemia clinic I tried to lift my head , throw my shoulders back, and walk with an energetic step. When the clinic secretary inquired how I was feeling I'd answer in as firm and resonant a voice as I could muster, so that all of the waiting patients might hear, "Pretty good today." Learning is a two-way process. If my fellow patients have learned certain things from me as a physician-patient, I have learned much more from them, not only as a patient but also as a physician. I have learned from them lessons in some of the fundamental mechanisms for facing and coping with cancer- about the meaning and value of anger, of faith and prayer, of humor and wit, of mutuality . ANGER Following the appearance of my first article in The Buffalo Physician, one of my physicians at the cancer institute wondered why I hadn ' t included " anger" among the " thoughts and feelings " the cancer patient experiences. I told him that I had purposely omitted it so that I could write about it at greater length in this article. Anger is a far commoner emotion among cancer patients than physicians imagine. It may vary with the presumed origin and cause of the disease, the type, stage, and course. It may vary with the object against which it is directed, in its intensity and duration, its degree of external expression, and the effects and results it produces . Because of my scientific knowledge of the etiology and pathogenesis of cancer, I recognized the limits of Medicine's understanding of the origin of my disease . I realized that developing "disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma" was just my tough luck. I didn ' t rail wildly at Fate or God (how come the Devil is never the target?) as patients without my medical training and background often do . "Why me?" a patient grumbles bitterly. " What did I ever do to deserve this? I've prayed regularly to a beneficent God , whom I always trusted to look after me. Now I have cancer and will probably die of it. I'm still young . My life's goals are nowhwere near accomplished. Yet there are men walking the streets in excellent health who have seldom done a virtuous act. Talk about man 's abomination to the Lord ; what about the Lord's abomination to man?" In this mood the patient may even decline to have anything to do with a clergyman.

Sanes ready fo r periodic X-ray film of the ches t. " N o changes from previous films - no enlargement of mediastinum." Anger can also be directed against oneself because of feelings of guilt. - A woman with mammary cancer sees it as her punishment for having refused to breastfeed her children. Another woman with carcinoma of the breast, a topless dancer, attributes it to her " sin" of exposing herself nude in public. - A physician with advanced cancer of the rectosigmoid berates himself for not having gone in for an examination as soon as the first symptoms appeared. Some patients vent their anger on a physician, laboratory or hos pital. (On occasion, such anger may be patently unfair, unjustified because of the patient's ignorance of the limitations of medical science and practice in regard to cancer at a particular time.) - A 45-year-old patient who requires treatment for one basal cell cancer of the face after another because he had X-radiation for acne in his teens. - A 55-year-old woman whose physician (a close friend of hers too, and that may have been the problem) failed for months to take her severe backache seriously enough. He interpreted it as probably due to lumbar osteoarthritis and implied that it might harbor a neurotic or psychosomatic component. Eventually a diagnostic workup at a medical center to which the patient went in desperation disclosed that her p ain was due to multiple myeloma of the spine. - A physician's wife who requires repeated biopsy for recurring cancer necessitating surgery. " Why," she mutters rancorously, " should I have to wait a week for a pathology report only to be informed that the biopsy is ' inconclusive' and that another biopsy will be required?" -A lymphoma patient who absconds from care in a public hospital because the attending staff physician won' t talk to him or listen to him about his condition . (On the other hand, a patient m ay fly into a rage with his physician just for telling him that he has cancer.) - A woman with a lump in her breast who is told that the necessary biopsy is " not an emergency procedure" and that she will have to wait six weeks for a hospital bed. She had been sold, through public education, on the importance of early diagnosis and prompt treatment for survival in mammary cancer. How should she react but in anger when she reads about the wife of the President of the United States being admitted to a hospital for a biopsy and radical mastectomy the day after discovery of a similar lump? Pent-up anger can be a sterile, destructive force. Anger expressed openly, assertively, to a practical purpose, besides acting as an emotional safety valve, can be constructive to the patient's welfare and interests. The woman who was put off six weeks for a biopsy of a lump in her breast was driven to complain to the editor of the " action" column of her local newspaper. Needless to say she was soon admitted to the hospital. Anger can be most constructive as a coping mechanism when it is directed against the cancerous disease itself. It can be an antidote for parlyzing fear when it is converted into determination, doggedness, 42 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �nerve, guts, defiance. "I must go on. I'll beat this son-of-a-bitch of a thing yet." This is an anger bent on life and survival. This is the anger I felt and expressed. Dr. Robert Cantor of San Francisco, an oncologist who has a degree in psychology, specializes in counseling as well as treating patients with cancer. He has studied 300 of them to find out why some are better able to handle their ailments than others. He cautions the physician about the patient who takes his disease lightly or passively. He sees the projection of a patient's anger, even on his family, physicians or nurses ("Just wait, I'll show them all yet!") as a favorable sign. That patient has a better chance of responding to treatment than one who has nobody to vent his anger on. If, on the other hand, the patient holds his hostility in himself, he is consumed by fear, guilt, depression or unexpressed anger. He will often lose the desire to live or to hang on. Yet, ironically, doctors prefer the nice cooperative patients who are eager to please... Dr. G. W. Milton of the Melanoma Clinic, Sidney Hospital, Australia, goes so far as to describe" the syndrome of self-willed death" in cancer patients who react without anger. This syndrome "nearly always affects a big man proud of his virility. The patient, when first confronted with the problem of his malignant disease, appears to disregard it and to be extraordinarily cheerful. To the young doctor this spurious bonhomie is a matter for great admiration and wonder ... Overnight the patient's whole manner changes and he is physically and mentally transformed. He literally turns his face to the wall and lies inert in bed, covering his face with the bedclothes ... He does not lament his fate nor does he look abjectly miserable. Rather he gives the impression of being completely indifferent . . . Blood pressure, pulse and respiration remain normal. He does not become either cachectic or dehydrated ... Within a month of the onset of this syndrome, the patient will almost certainly be dead. If a necropsy is carried out, although the patient may have an extensive tumor, there will often appear to be no adequate explanation for the cause of death." "Ire" is what the cancer patient puts into "desire"- the desire to cope with his disease, to survive. dSPRING, 1975 43 Marian Cormack, clinic nurse, weighs Or. Sanes. He has regained the 15 pounds lost during radiation. He fights hard not to put on additional weight but the battle is a losing one. (Or. Sanes is not on prednisone.) �----- - - - fAITH AND PRAYER An hour after visiting his semiconscious wife, who had just undergone radical surgery for breast cancer, President ford addressed 1000 men and women attending a summit conference on the nation's economic crisis. "It's been a difficult 36 hours," he told them, his jaw working and his voice faltering. "Our faith will sustain us ... " In my adult life, prior to my diagnosis of reticulum cell sarcoma, I had been hospitalized on just four occasions. In each instance I stayed a short time and made a full recovery. During my days in the hospital friends, professional colleagues, and co-workers always greeted me jovially with " best wishes." Since my diagnosis of disseminated cancer I've noticed a change in the tenor of expressions of assurance I receive. Now most persons quietly offer me their prayers. Periodic skin sensitivity tests to PPD, mumps, varidase, trichophyton, monilia, and fetal calf serum are made on both fo rearms prior to BCG vaccination. Delayed reactions are measured after 24 hours. (Dr. Sanes is a volunteer in an experimental BCG vaccination program.) "How about being a guinea pig for science?" his physician had suggested. Each one of us, when forced to face serious illness, suffering and pain, dying and death, has his own philosophic way of coping whether he has ever verbalized it or not. In our American culture this way can vary from one based on religion, especially Christianity and Judaism, to a secular one drawn from science and reason. There are all sorts of gradations in between. We derive our philosophic ways of coping from our upbringing, education, and personal thinking and experience. In facing and coping with my own disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma, I have relied on human resources - the knowledge, skill, empathy, and concern of my physicians; physical aid and emotional support from my family and friends; insight, rationality, and adaptiveness on my own part. At the other extreme, another person in whom cancer is suspected may so trust the divine tenets of his religion and the miraculous power of prayer that he will refuse the promises and ministrations of medical science. Other patients seek the best of both worlds- the natural or human and the supernatural or divine. - A middle-aged New York State woman with disseminated lymphoma who is being treated at the cancer institute in Buffalo with the latest scientific methods also makes regular trips to Philadelphia for the "laying-on of hands" by a faith healer. She doesn't tell her physicians at the institute about the " second front" attack on her disease. - A woman in her sixties scheduled for radical mastectomy the next morning has her husband telephone to a national " prayer tower" in southwestern United States and ask that it intervene with God for a successful outcome to surgery and cure of her disease. Interestingly both patients attribute any favorable results in their condition to faith-healing and prayer, not to the1r physicians and medical science. 44 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �My own philosophic way of coping and that of the other patients mentioned are not typical for most Americans. More representative is that of a woman in her fifties who has had a personal encounter with disseminated lymphoma. Brought up in a liberal Protestant, non-church-affiliated family, she attended public schools, a state university, and is professionally employed in a field of medical science. By psychologic standards she is mentally and emotionally mature. When cancer strikes, she generalizes from her own background, anger and despair may initially lead a person to deny his religious beliefs, but the rejection is seldom more than temporary. The person who has turned to God at other times for lesser reasons will turn to Him again through successive stages of hope if the first one - that the clinical impression be proved wrong by biopsy - is dashed. He'll hope for cure or, if that is not possible, for control and prolongation of life; for palliation and finally for release from agony by death and some type of immortality. Certain believers feel a simple, direct, almost childlike closeness to God, such as that of Tevye in Fiddler orz the Roof. Others approach Him on a more formal, ritualistic level. faith and prayer become increasingly important as their disease worsens, recurs or becomes terminal. Unable to control their situation themselves or to obtain scientific aid and empathy from physicians, deserted emotionally by family and friends, they are led to rely more and more on the spiritual. Men and women who have prided themselves on their self-sufficiency are no longer able to go it alone in the face of fear and depression, insomnia, pain, nausea and emesis, loss of weight, debility, cachexia and dehydration, and urinary and fecal incontinence. Many physicians lack the time, background, training, personality, and understanding to give them the presence and support they need. Nor can their families and friends. But the cancer patient who believes in God as a loving father is never alone. He is able to talk to God as he cannot talk to his physicians, his dearest friends, the closest members of his family. There is comfort for him in the knowledge that he is one of a continuing procession who have called out to God in their time of trouble. He can pray with David, 'In thee, 0 Lord, do I put my trust ... forsake me not when my strength faileth.' And God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will we not fear.' ('Courage,' quotes the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh of Notre Dame University, 'is fear that has said its prayers.') d- SPRING, 1975 45 In November Dr. Sanes left Buffalo for his annual winter vacation in Guadalajara, Mexico. There he was cared for by internist-hematologist Dr. Daniel Camacho, former resident at the Roswell Park Memoria/Institute and now a faculty member of the University of Guadalajara School of Medicine. �As a Jew he can look to Job, as a Christian to Jesus, for evidence that suffering and pain are not a symbol of God's rejection. And when the battle is finally lost, the believer can hope not only for surcease from suffering and pain but also for survival beyond death. (For some this means a personal, physical resurrection, for others a spiritual reunion with loved ones, for still others genetic and behavioral continuance through their children or historical continuance through remembrance of their thoughts and deeds.) He can say, with Paul, 'Death is swallowed up on a victory. 0 death, where is thy sting? 0 grave, where is thy victory?' In Guadalajara Dr. Sanes was cheered by visits from medical students whom he has befriended over the years, like Hilda Margarita Quiroz Galvan, a senior at the University of Guadalajara. In my own case, I have not so far turned for help to the supernatural. I have learned, however, that faith and prayer are important coping mechanisms for many cancer patients. Yet it is not uncommon to hear a physician brand them scornfully as "crutches" for persons too weak to stand alone. Such physicians do not hesitate to order physically-supportive crutches for the patient with a broken leg. And they would hail any new safe drug which so influenced a cancer patient's consciousness that he could tolerate his incurable or terminal disease with the same degree of serenity afforded him by faith and prayer. Furthermore, the physician who developed such a drug or proved it by testing would be quick to report it at a national meeting or in a scientific journal. He might even label it a "miracle drug." Why, then, scoff at the patient who finds, in the faith of his fathers and through prayer, emotional support, mental uplift and even physical palliation at a time when his physicians can offer him no hope or help and his family and friends are withdrawing from him? Even physicians may turn to religion when the gods of science can do nothing further. About two years ago, Dr. Gary Leinbach, a 39-year-old agnostic gastroenterologist in an academic research institution, lost his scientific objectivity and, doing what any patient might, consulted faith-healers before his death from cancer of the small intestine with metastases. Some years ago I visited a 50-year-old physician with glioma of the brain whom I had known to be non-observant in religion. I found him reading the New Testament. "I get comfort from it," he said apologetically. "I thought I had put this stuff aside with my childhood, but somehow it seems to help now." The wise physician will utilize a patient's faith and prayer as part of his therapeutic armamentarium rather than smile at the sufferer's "simplicity and naivete," his "regression to childhood myths and fantasies." He can call in a qualified clergyman to assist in the care of the patient, particularly if the patient indicates an interest in religion but has no clergyman of his own. Not all clergymen are qualified. Some, as cancer patients say," are very good to the sick," but some have the same 46 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �hangups that physicians and laymen do about cancer and "look with dread upon visits to those who are fighting for their lives against the disease."

Solomon. VA Hospitals Will Expand The Veterans Administration Hospital will break ground this fall for a $5.89 million wing to house expanded outpatient facilities . This was announced during the hospital's 25th anniversary party on January 15. "In the past 25 years," said Mr. Joseph Paris, hospital director," the hospital has developed a tradition of service to the veterans and their communities in Western New York through its programs of treatment, research and medical education. It is a teaching hospital affiliated with the Medical School. Currently there are 41 research projects financed through the Veterans Administration and 13 others supported by outside funds. " The hospital expects more than 120,000 outpatient visits this year. The hospital has 888 beds and another 36 beds designated for nursing home care. There is also a lO-bed kidney dialysis unit in addition to programs for veterans suffering alcoholism or drug abuse problems . . It is the only hospital in the VA system (totaling 173) with a hyperbane chamber for patient treatment and research. Medical history was made at the hopsital in 1958 when physicians developed the first bat~ery-operated cardiac pacemaker. Two patients were the first in the Umted States to receive nuclear-powered pacemakers in July 1972. 0 SPRING, 1975 47 �.. Dr. Dobson shows Elaine Zielinski how to distinguish various fungus problems through a study of slides. First Nurse Practitioner in Dermatology A biopsy helps to determine proper patient management, points out Dr. Dobson to Elaine Zielinski. W hat may well be the first nurse practitioner trammg program in dermatology in this country is now underway in Buffalo. It is one approach that the department of dermatology is using to cope with the burden of skin diseases in the community. Here, nurses will undergo a year of training that is equivalent to the first year of a dermatology residency. " And with little or no physician supervision," predicts Dr. Richard L. Dobson, professor and chairman of dermatology, "they will then be capable of seeing patients in clinics, in physicians' offices, and in community health centers where there is significant skin disease and where health professionals are scarce." It is rare for a medical school to be aware of or meet a community's health needs notes Dr. Dobson. But that a quarter of all Western New Yorkers have a skin disease that requires treatment is substantiated by a recent National Health Survey. It was authorized by Congress in 1957 to determine just how widespread disease is in this country. "What the three-year study of a representative sample of Americans age one to 74 means in a two million population area like Erie County," points out Or. Dobson, "is that 474,000 have a significant skin disease." But only a small fraction are being served by the Medical School, the only dermatology referral center between Boston and Cleveland. And only a small number can be seen by the area's 20 practicing dermatologists. With personnel shortages and less than satisfactory methods of treatment and prevention that are found in all clinical fields today, how then to care for the area's estimated 86,000 handicapped or disabled through skin disease, the 94,000 with disfiguring acne, the 27,000 with eczema, the 92,000 with fungus infection, the 5 ,000 with skin cancer, the 20,000 with premalignant skin disease, and the 6,000 with psoriasis? A close look at the three major areas of medical school involvement - patient care, research, education- revealed only the first to be practical enough to meet immediate problems. All three, quickly points out Dr. Dobson, are inextricably linked however. More education in dermatology for the primary care physician will be necessary for" everyone will expect him to care for more and more patients with skin diseases," he said. Although Buffalo has one of the largest residency training programs for dermatologists in the country he feels that " we will only realistically be able to train about 20 in the next few years. " He notes that increasing training will not solve current manpower needs. " The same sort of demands on the primary care physician's time will likely be made by other overburdened specialties such as otolaryngology, gynecology, and psychiatry," Dr. Dobson said. And when increased consumer demand for specialized care with the imminent passage of national health insurance is added, the problem becomes even more complex. Prevention was another area that has received careful scrutiny as an alternative way to resolve the burden of skin diseases in the community. Noted however was the negative response from the public to a national campaign that warned of harmful effects from overexposure to sunlight. "This seems to have resulted only in an increase in bikini sales," he pointed out. Given the current "state of the art" he feels that it is unlikely that we will have effective preventive programs in the near future. 48 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �And while finding a cure for a rare disease, however interesting, will have little effect on the overall problem, improving the treatment of a common one such as acne by 25 percent will have a significant impact. "We need to develop careful, long-term research programs in areas of strongest potential impact," Or. Dobson said. In reviewing his choice of the nurse practitioner, Dr. Dobson pointed to the large number of underutilized nurses who spend too much of their time in clerical activity. "The nurse, with a long-standing code of ethics, is a professional who has proven to be a great resource in the health care delivery system," he said. Elaine Zielinski has begun her training as the first nurse practitioner in dermatology. Notes Or. Dobson, "she is learning diagnosis and therapy as quickly as a first-year resident." When she completes her training in the spring and as funds become available she will play an important role in developing an expanded training program for other nurse practitioners in dermatology. "Valuable insight has been gained by her while attending a national conference on the role of nurse practitioner," he said. She will also play an active role in patient care programs at the Buffalo General and E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospitals. "Hopefully our program will serve as a model for the development of similar ones in other parts of the country," Or. Dobson concluded. Dr ..

Halloween Party A 1971 Medical School graduate was the main attraction at the Halloween party at the pediatric clinic at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. Dr. Dennis Nadler, attending staff physician, surprised and thrilled the 100 children who visited the clinic October 31 . Dr. Nadler's uniform depicted a carrot. The experience wasn' t new for him. He had performed a similar act at Children's Hospital the last two years (appearing as asparagus and a thermometer). Except for a short lunch and dinner break, Dr. Nadler was "on stage" from 8 a.m. until the clinic closed at 10:30 p.m. The 28-year-old physician had almost as much fun as the kids. He had his serious moments during the long day when he examined the children and did some counseling. Dr. Henry P. Staub, associate professor of pediatrics at the Medical School, directs the hospital's pediatrics program. Children from one week to 16 years visit the clinic. Dr. Staub is assisted by five attending physicians, plus housestaff. There is one junior medical student (four rotate) at the clinic at all times. And during the summer the clinic is popular for senior medical students. f' An informal conference in the clinic with four medical students.

Separating Immunologically Competent Cells A simple way to separate large quantities of immunologically competent living cells to be used for those with immunological defects has been found by a pioneering team of Buffalo immunologists. Drs. Cetewayo Gillman, Pierluigi E. Bigazzi, Carel J. van Oss, and Mr. Paul M . Bronson who is senior research assistant, are now separating, on the basis of their electrical charge, various classes of lymphocytes that are the most important cells for immunological reactivity . This separation is done through a modification of a technique that is known as electrophoresis. While the " T " or thymus-dependent fraction is involved in cellmediated immunity and synthesizes a variety of mediators known as " lymphokines," the " B" or bone marrow-derived cells are responsible for antibody formation, one of the body' s defenses against foreign invaders. 52 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Explained Dr. van Oss, " the force of gravity on earth- it is! ginterferes with the separation of the 'T' and 'B' fractions of the lymphocytes. In electrophoresis negatively-charged cells migrate in an electric field toward the positive electrode. Because 'T' cells are more negatively charged than the ' B' ones, they migrate at a faster rate." But during the time it takes the 'T' cell to migrate ahead of the 'B' one, he explained that " all will have settled to the bottom of the electrophoresis vessel. " However, by using complicated steady state fluid flow mechanisms , small quantities of separated cells are recoverable. In outer space, where there is zero gravity there is no problem of ~,edimentation. " This separation of lymphocytes," he continued, should be easily performed with simple devices. Experiments are now underway by the Buffalo team to do just that. " . An alternate way to electrophoresis in outer space depends on findmg a way to overcome the force of gravity on earth, Dr. van Oss ex~lained. " for we want to obtain large quantities of viable 'T' cells for use 1 ~ treatment of patients with cellular immunity defects, chronic infections, and malignancies." While early tests by the Buffalo team pointed to the possibility of cell separation in columns packed with glass beads, extensive experiments proved that cells of varying sizes could not be electrophoretically separated by that method . A better approach seemed to be free liquid electrophoresis in density gradients. However the team found that density gradient columns caused severe clumping of lymphocytes . They therefore turned their attention to electrophoretic levitation in simple buffers where cells with the highest electrical or " zeta" potential not only tend to move upward but there is no clumping of lymphocytes. The largest cells tend to remain near the bottom of the tube despite their electric charge. Continuous flow or zero gravity electrophoresis, Dr. van Oss feels, may correct this lack of larger-size lymphocytes. . By reversing the direction of electrophoresis in an upward direction, the Buffalo team has been able to collect the faster " T " cell fraction from both fresh and frozen human peripheral as well as from tonsil lymphocytes in an almost pure form - from 98 to 100 percent pure. Scaling up this simple procedure, they feel sure, will lead to a supply equal to that of one donor. The viability of these electrophoretically separated " T " cells is more than 90 percent. But when these fractions are stored frozen for later use the viability after thawing drops to about 85 percent. Because of the limited cooling/ electric power capacity on board the Apollo-Soyuz spacecraft where electrophoretic lymphocyte separation ~:~ero gravity will soon be performed, low ionic strengt~ ~uf~ers were eloped . for laboratories not facing these same power hm!tatwns, Dr. van Oss recommends that higher ionic strength buffers be used. I Not only are there advantages to injections of T cell-rich and B Ymphocyte poor fractions into histocompatible recipients but Dr. van Oss underscores its use as a source of " transfer factor " to treat diseases where there is a defect in cellular immunity such as chronic infections, and malignancies.

Their themes depict his native India. "I always wanted to be an artist but when I was 14 my father died. I promised him I would become a doctor. Medicine has been a tradition in the family for several generations. I have several cousins who are physicians." During the year Dr. Ahmed will rotate through the dermatology department of the Roswell Park Memorial Institute, E.J.

The technicians are collecting the expired gas in a meteorological bag for analysis. Proficient Swimmers The meteorological bag is filled with the swimmer's expired gas. The gas is being pushed through a dry gas meter by Susan Kopera (right) to determine the volume of expired gas. Three syringe samples are taken by Sheryl Trakus (left). 56 Women are more proficient swimmers than men. That is what 30 men and 30 women (ages 8-58) helped to prove during experiments last summer. The tests were conducted in the Environmental Physiology Lab's 60-meter circular swimming tank, the only one of its kind in the world. "It costs men twice as much energy as women to swim the same distance," Dr. David R. Pendergast, assistant professor of physiology in physical education, said. "Men's feet have a greater tendency to sink. Women have more fat tissue in their lower extremities. As a result they float higher and more horizontally in the water and encounter less resistance in the water, making them proficient swimmers." Dr. Pendergast and Dr. Donald W. Rennie, professor and chairman of the physiology department, and other members of the department have been studying human swimming proficiency in and under the water surface for several years. These pictures depict some of the more recent swimming experiments.

Pragay Clinical Biochemistry This is the second in a series of articles on the Erie County Laboratory that is headed by Dr. Max E. Chilcote. Assistant director is Dr. Thomas C. Robinson. today is in better diagnostic services. In the clinical biochemistry division of the Erie County Laboratory, chemical analysis of a variety of fluids and gases via sophisticated instrumentation not only helps the physician diagnose a patient's problems but to monitor the course of treatment. While the clinical biochemistry laboratory that is headed by Dr. Desider A. Pragay follows many different kinds of patients in the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital- biochemical analyses for the Erie County Health Department's outpatient clinics are done as well- it is particularly oriented toward the trauma and geriatric ones. For multiple problems in these patients as well as in many seen on an outpatient basis can only be pinpointed by sophisticated testing procedures available in the laboratory. Because many of these patients have severe respiratory problems, the blood gas laboratory, which does the monitoring, remains open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In an average month, the Hungarian-born Dr. Pragay can point to over 2,000 blood gas determinations. One reason for such a heavy workload, he feels, may be that a teaching hospital relies heavily on laboratory analysis. Test results really aid the physician in selecting the proper course of therapy for the patient, says the clinical associate professor who holds a PhD in biochemistry from the Medical University of Budapest (1956) as well as NIH and AHA fellowships in the past. The exact nature of blood gas determinations indicate the metabolic course of a patient who must be looked at in terms of acid-base balance, he explained. Close cooperation between clinician and clinical biochemist has led to many developments in laboratory tests. For the geriatric patient Dr. Pragay points to the importance of vital liver function tests as well as those for blood gases and electrolyte control for the acute and postsurgical ones. And for the diabetic, glucose analyses are done in a very unique outpatient clinic set up for the diabetic. Because of its high level of performance, the clinical biochemistry laboratory serves as a reference laboratory for the States of New York Dr. Pragay (center) reviews laboratory safety procedures with Drs.

But many other hospitals send their blood samples to the Meyer Hospital for analysis, pointed out the former Hungarian Freedom fighter who left that country in 1956 and came to Buffalo after two years at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Retina Foundation in Chief technologist Chris Falkowski monitors triglyceride levels that are so important in managing diabetes, heart disease, and lipid disorders. and Pennsylvania, the Communicable Disease Center, and the American College of Pathologists. Its newer and more sophisticated testing procedures are also available to other health institutions on a fee-for-service basis. But the laboratory has also served as a testing ground for instrumentation not yet marketed. Tested and now used routinely is a fast centrifugal analyzer. This revolutionary new type of analytic approach, Dr. Pragay points out, processes 30 samples faster and more accurately than most available today. Following a year of testing, a new multichannel analyzer that processes 300 samples an hour, as well as a new chemical analyzer that measures enzyme activity of body fluids for diagnostic/therapeutic purposes, are now in use. A new pneumatic tube system featuring an air break has also been tested. Points out Dr. Pragay, "We feel that this system will allow us to send blood samples from different wards to the laboratory without damaging red blood cells." Method modification has also led to better tests. Because children have been found to ingest paint chips, a microlead determination now tests levels of microlead in their bloodstream, points out Dr. Pragay. And there is a microcalcium determination by him, Drs. Chilcote and Regent. Its very high precision is important for the hyperparathyroid patient for " it lets the physician SPRING, 1975 Boston. Laboratory supervisors at local hospitals are also informed on advances in instrumentation, techniques, methodology, safety precautions, and other problems at regular monthly meetings initiated and organized by Dr. Pragay. The E. J. Meyer, Dr. Pragay points out, is the first local hospital to introduce lithium testing for psychotic patients. He cautioned on the importance of a systematic check of its levels in the patient. "Too high levels of lithium in the patient's bloodsteam may be dangerous," he said. Concern by Dr. Pragay over harmful wlistes and discharge material from a clinical laboratory finding its way into the environment has led to lower mercury discharges. "We are the first hospital in the area to dispose of all of its wastes," he said. Other hospitals are now exploring this d- possibility.

He serves on the Buffalo Sewer Authority's temporary committee on pollution and is hospital safety officer. "We are treating some, sending others to a concern that renders them less harmful to the envionment. " A report on his work has recently been published in American Laboratory. A guideline which he has prepared for the Erie County Chemistry Laboratory must be read by all employees. "We want them to be aware of the dangers in handling toxic materials," Dr. Pragay said. Teaching remains an important function of the clinical biochemistry laboratory. " In 1968 we started one of the first training programs for clinical biochemists in this country," he said . Today, after seven years, most of its ten graduates work effectively in clinical or research laboratories at university-affiliated hospitals. Clinical pathology residents also receive six months of training in the chemistry laboratory. And there is medical technology bench training and projects for medical technology graduate students , courses for medical and graduate students as well as information on new instrumentation and methodology for housestaff and students. There are new directions ahead, says Dr. Pragay. To determine which drugs interfere with 60 ---- ~ - what tests, a new NIH computer-linked system is being tested here with the help of postdoctoral fellow Dr. Donald Lo. And with Dr. David Wenke , new tests to learn more about neurological disorders are being introduced . Such diseases may be connected with chemical compounds, Dr. Pragay pointed out, and can be determined in this way. Dr. Wenke, who is assistance director of the clinical biochemistry laboratory, is also involved in computerization of the entire chemistry laboratory for better patient care by faster data processing. In a small ob/ gyn pediatric area that is part of the Meyer , amniocentesis analysis is now underway by Dr. Leila Edwards , an assistant laboratory director. And there is a plan underway for more extensive monitoring of therapeutic drug s under a collaborative Johns Hopkins/ George Washington Universities ' effort. " Little is known for how long and on what level a drug remains in a patient's bloodstream," Dr. Pragay said . Hoping to learn whether too much or too little drugs are being used and to improve their monitoring , a joint study with pharmacokinetic specialists Drs . Milo Gibaldi and Gerhardt Levy is hoped for. " Through such cooperative effort, we hope to help the physician decide what's wrong with the patient and how to improve clinical treatment," Dr. Pragay concluded.

SPRING, 1975 61 �A New Challenge for Dr. Randall Dr. Randall Thirty-eight years of service at the University ended for Dr. Clyde L. Randall on March 1 when he left to coordinate, at Johns Hopkins University, a new international program of education in gynecologyI obstetrics. " Helping to set up training centers in developing countries that will focus on modern concepts and techniques in ob/gyn is proving to be an exciting challenge," the 69-year-old clinician said. Dr. Randall who is known for his contributions in the field of uterine cancer, has served as professor of obstetrics/ gynecology at U/B since 1942, as chairman of the department for over a decade, and as vice president for health sciences, as acting dean, and as executive officer for the School of Medicine over the past five years. Because Johns Hopkins was able to convince USAID of a larger opportunity for existing university-funded programs now training foreign faculty members in modern approaches to population control, JHPIEGO was formed . " It merges all of these activities into a single program," Dr. Randall explained. The chief thing that he will do for this nonprofit corporation affiliated with Johns Hopkins will be to assess teaching methods used at the various training centers. " The most effective," he said, " will be used in the new centers. Experienced faculty will learn to assess and aid the health of women in their countries, instruct them in regard to proper child spacing, while emphasizing to both the profession and the patient the seriousness of the burdens of overpopulation." To date 60 foreign faculty members have completed their training at Johns Hopkins, the University of Washington at St. Louis, Western Penn Hospital of the University of Pittsburgh, and the American University of Beirut, Lebanon. Supplied with instruments for doing laparoscopic diagnoses and sterilizations, the trainees return to their home countries to practice. After six months back home, Dr. Randall explained, the effectiveness of the trainees is assessed by a practicing physician in that country. And, when necessary, their techniques are improved. Trainees, working in well-equipped centers, are being helped to set up similar training programs in their own countries. One such large training center is opening this spring in Korea with a central organization that is set up to operate educational and training centers in five Seoul hospitals. "Each program will be headed by a former trainee in one of the U.S. training units," Dr. Randall explained. Among other areas into which this kind of educational program is moving is the Arab world and Latin America. " We also hope to develop similar programs in African countries where the problems are great," Dr. Randall pointed out. He admitted that " for many years I thought I was too busy to get deeply involved in population control." One of the things he now hopes will develop from this new program is an awareness on the part of ob/ gyn departments in many countries of the importance for making certain that all medical students learn about health and the economic consequences of overpopulation. " As the emphasis in medical education swings back to patient care," the former busy obstetrician predicted that " it is to be expected that we will become more involved with human reproduction." 62 THE BUFFALO PHYSIC IAN �Dr. Randall has headed the department of obstetrics/gynecology at three Buffalo Hospitals- Buffalo General since 1942, the E. J. Meyer Memorial and Children's since 1960. He has also served as a consultant in ob/gyn at Douglas Memorial, DeGraff, and Gowanda State Hospitals. In 1948, when cytological testing for uterine cancer was in its infancy, Dr. Randall supported the development of the first local laboratory to do such testing for obstetric and gynecologic patients. He received an MD degree from the University of Kansas in 1931. Following an internship and residencies in general surgery and pathology in Kansas City, he came to the Buffalo General Hospital and completed a residency in gynecology here. In 1937 he joined the U/B faculty. Dr. Randall has contributed repeatedly to the knowledge of uterine and ovarian neoplasms through publications, discussions and as a member of the editorial board of OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY. He is a Fellow of the American Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Surgeons, American Gynecological Society, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (England}, New York Gynecological Society, Dallas SW Clinical Society, and Kansas City Academy of Medicine. Among his honorary memberships are the Societies of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada, the Phillipines, and South Korea; Central Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists; and gynecological societies in a number of U.S. cities and alumni groups. Dr. Randall has also served as president (the 22nd) of the American College of Obstetricians-Gynecologists, the American Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American Gynecological Club, Obstetrical and Gynecological Travel Club, the International Society of Pelvic Surgeons, the Buffalo Obstetrical-Gynecological Society, and the Buffalo Academy of Medicine. He has served as medical director and advisory board chairman for the Planned Parenthood Center of Buffalo, on the board of medical examiners for the State of New York, as chairman of the National Board of Medical Examiners' committee for obstetrics and gynecology as well as its test committee for ob/gyn, in various offices of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, on the American Board of Medical Specialties' committee on certification and recertification, on the executive committee of the Council of Medical Specialty Societies, and as secretary-treasurer of the National Council of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. In 1971 he was cited by the School of Medicine "for 34 years of devoted service to medicine and this school." On February 14 Dr. and Mrs. Randall were honored at a joint School of Medicine/Department of Obstetrics-Gynecology/Buffalo Gynecological-Obstetrics Society reception in the Faculty Club and at an Open House at the new Clyde L. Randall Gyn-Ob Learning Center at Children's Hospital. 0 SPRING, 1975 63 Professor C. ].

() �-- Samuel P. Capen Hall on the U! B Main Street campus has been re-named Sidney Farber Hall in honor of the U/ B graduate who gained international recognition for children's cancer research. Buildings Named for Physicians Two buildings on the Main Street Campus have been renamed after prominent physicians. Samuel P. Capen Hall and the Health Sciences Building, will be named Sidney Farber Hall and Dr. Charles Cary Hall, respectively. The Main Street Capen structure undergoes a name change as a result of the new Capen Hall designation at Amherst. Dr. Sidney Farber was a world authority on cancer in children. Born in Buffalo in 1904, Farber graduated from U/B in 1923 and studied medicine in Germany and at Harvard.

FALL, 1975 1 �Part of the panel on "New Curriculum Topics and their Application to Clinical M edicine" -Drs. Mcisaac, Spangler, Brownie. New Curriculum Topics The unusual happened. Spring Clinical Days, the 38th in fact, were cloudless and warm. This, combined with programs on newer aspects of medical school curriculum and their clinical application, recent progress in infectious disease, trends in medical education and economics, 14 exhibits, and nine class reunions where $30,430 was raised for special equipment for the School of Medicine made it one of the most successful programs. From Dr. Alexa·nder C. Brownie, the 200 attendees learned that the medical curriculum today is in the hands of many as compared to a few in the past. Or. Roblin, panelist Explained the curriculum committee' s co-chairman, " the curriculum is now a Faculty Council matter. Its membership consists of elected department faculty, administration, and student representation. An advisory council to the dean, one of its many committees focuses on curriculum. " We consider every suggestion in detail, " Dr. Brownie said. He noted that students attend more regularly than others . With feedback from their classes on proposed changes, he stated that " without their approval, the chances of curriculum change would be slim." With an organized curriculum committee, a mechanism for change, Dr. Brownie feels " we are trying to do something a bit more sensible than curriculum reform begun four or five years ago. While a 40 percent cut in core hours then freed up time for student electives, the committee failed to follow through on department cuts, some mere paper ones." With more real hours a certainty now _ electives such as embryology are being returned to the core curriculum- three afternoons a week are still available for electives " for those students who really enjoy them," he continued. A course on human sexuality, one quite different than in the early days of sex education, was described by Dr. Gloria Roblin . Because the 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �clinical associate professor in psychology in the department of psychiatry believes that " every practicing physician may be called upon to deal with or seek information on a patient's sexual life," the required sophomore course has a clinical orientation. There are both large and small group sessions. Explained Dr. Roblin, " the first half of each session is a formal one." Here, coordinator, two lecturers, and three physicians discuss clinical experience in sex-related problems to stimulate discussion. At small group discussions which follow, students explore their attitudes and learn about their management. And through films, erotic ones and others, students are taught skills as well as a heightening awareness of their attitudes, she explained. Because she believes that every physician can help to counsel their patients - a surgeon on radical mastectomies, a cardiologist on renewal of sex - she believes that as a guardian of a patient' s biologic rights, they must know how to take a sexual medical history. " We therefore teach our students how to do so," she said. When questioned on the right of a physician to take a sexual history, she countered with the necessity of a physician to do so if he is to adequately treat his patient. " But if the patient insists on not doing so, it is within his inviolable rights. " While there may not be any literature available today on the female, Dr. Roblin does hold a program on female sexuality. She also noted that in the final lecture, all techniques of therapeutic interviews are reviewed. To understand human sexuality, she cautioned on the need to balance emphasis on function with the meaning of sex. " It is and should be a legitimate focus and concern of those who work in medicine."

" Every physician will be able to handle all of their patient's problems." Admitting that sex was a hard act to follow, Dr. Robert A. Spangler nevertheless proceeded with steps the biophysics department has taken to make its subject matter more interesting to students. Through an elective on instrumental instruction, a small number of students are learning the basic concepts and units of electricity, about patient safety, and the system's analytical approach. " It is a direct outcome of our concern on the expansion of biomedical knowledge," he pointed out. Promising to be an exciting development in biomedical instruction is a new graduate program on human critical illness. Organized by Drs. John Siegel, John Border, Charles McMenamy, Lee Bernardis, and Peter Scott (an electrical engineer), the acting chairman of biophysics pointed to this overt educational opportunity that will be open to senior medica( and graduate students as well as residents. Problem solving, through a computerized assist, is helping freshman medical students better understand interactions that take place in respiratory physiology. But, explained Dr. Harold I. Modell, the 15 programs he, Drs. Leon Farhi, and Albert J. Olszowka have prepared on various aspects of pulmonary function will also be available this summer as a refresher course for residents. They are also being used to teach medical students and residents in Houston's department of medicine, to anesthesiology residents in Florida, and to medical students in Oregon as well as on a national/international basis through the American Thoracic Society . Computer experience, the assistant professor of physiology explained, is not necessary. In fact over the three years their program has been in use, fear of the computer seems to have lessened among freshman students who appear to be sharper. Direction is provided them via a set of instructions. " They are similar to laboratory protocols, " Dr. Modell said. The computer lets the students do many things. While there are no pre- or post tests, there is review and reinforcement. Question and answer tests are also available and the student can use the progra"ll to answer his own questions , he pointed out. In response to a query on which students are taking the program, he pointed to all levels of expertise that are represented. " They are not just the best students," he said. A learning process, he feels the program allows students to pinpoint problems in value judgments. "As we get more clinically oriented, we learn more things we can do with one particular model, " he said. While the program does not require previous study by the student, it is generally agreed that it is a time saver. " The student can look at many more situations in a shorter period of time. We feel we have satisfied a need students seem to have. They get their own judgments from computer feedback, " he said. An independent study program in pharmacology was reviewed by Dr. Robert J. Mcisaac. In this program where the individual is responsible for his own education, all material and equipment is available to students in a seminar room that is open at all times. "A student need-- FALL, 1975 5 Or. Mod ell, pan elist Spring Clinical Days �The winning exhibit, Diagnosis and Management of Urinary Tract Infections in Children, by Dr. O.R. Oberkircher, ]r. only appear at exam time," the professor of pharmacology and therapeutics explained. Started in 1973, students were provided materials in an atmosphere in which they could study on their own over the summer with some evaluative tests. While originally allowing only the best students to participate, it is now by student decision. "We want to accommodate students who wish to go through an accelerated program," Dr. Mcisaac said. But he pointed to other students who are using the program as well as educationally disadvantaged and a small number who are reviewing for National Boards. Each student enrolled in the accelerated program receives a manual. Objectives for each unit are stated as well as a detailed outline for unit material and references for further reading. A student may even hand in work problems for evaluation if he so desires. So popular is this manual - there are only a limited number- that Dr. Mcisaac has learned that it is now being reproduced on the black market. He pointed to similar independent study programs available to students in clinical departments and in microbiology and pathology. "They are allowing students to accelerate, to graduate in a shorter period of time." The first four students going through these accelerated programs graduated last May. Another group of six, enrolled in the programs, will graduate next year, while yet an additional group of seven will start on the accelerated track this fall. Infections While some infectious diseases seen by clinicians have all but been eliminated due to advances in immunization and antibiotics, the message left by a panel dealing with infections is that others are still with us. From Drs. Thomas D. Flanagan, Erwin Neter, Cornelius J. O'Connell, and Robert Spier came evidence that Shigellosis, influenza, and B. meningitis represent a challenge to both physician and researcher. 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �In the healthy, Dr. O'Connell noted that infectious organisms which make up the normal flora are both beneficial and inocuous. But in those with reduced resistance, he pointed to infections that may result. Opportunistic infections, some so new they are not yet documented, were reviewed by Dr. Neter. Their increase, he feels, is due to more patients surviving serious or fatal diseases, more prematures and those with genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis who are more susceptible to infectious staphylococcus and Pseudomonas, and those with leukemia or cancer where immunosuppressive therapy leads to reduced resistance. But what he also feels may prove a major determinant in the patient is age. Even foreign bodies such as catheters, sutures can be sites where micropathogenic organisms settle to cause fatal disease. And while antibiotic agents are available for treatment of infections, some of the latter have shown unusual resistance to commonly available ones. From Dr. Spier came proof that no organism has yet developed resistance to proper surgical technique. But one serious pathogen that~ Dr. Neter predicts is a large volume of Group B hemolytic Streptococcus. "Newborns acquire it on their passage through the birth canal," he said. And while bacterial infections in patients can be controlled, there was agreement on the challenge of changing patterns of infections and etiological agents as well as the hazard to those patients with other basic disorders. Though not yet as common as the common cold, without appropriate drugs and management, the panel pointed to serious or fatal outcome from these infections. Stressed was the need for immunization against tetanus, for it is highly effective for all except the immune deficient. An immunization record should also be kept. While a booster lasts longer than previously thought, it is ineffective without prior immunization. To pinpoint those susceptible to the side effects of drugs, research is needed. "There is no easy clinical way, " Dr. O'Connell said, "to predict the effectiveness of drugs now available for anaerobic infections. " And while the first indication for chemotherapy comes via microscopic examination of a specimen, the importance of its proper collection was emphasized. " It must be placed immediately into an oxygen-free tube, " Dr. Flanagan noted. "For just a brief period of exposure to oxygen will kill a labile organism." Drs. Oscar Oberkircher Sr., Eugene Lippschutz The panel on "Infections as Seen by the Clinician" - Drs. Neter, O'Connell, Spier (Dr. Flangan , not in photo, was also a panei member). FALL, 1975 7 �J Re-Licensure Drs. ]ames Dunn, Myra Zinke New technology, the panel predicts, will lead to better antibody specificity tests. While enterotoxins produced by E. coli can now be identified, in the case of Hemophilus influenza type B, the panel notes immune age is later than previously supposed, fewer babies are born to immune mothers , and immunity may peter out in infants earlier than suspected. Even though ampicillin-resistant strains have been noted in Buffalo, the panel agreed they are not usually fatal , but the patterns of resistance are changing in the common Shigellas . These were some of the topics covered by the panel. Dr. Robert C. Derbyshire said the sub-title of his presentation could well be " Down with Lifelong Licensure. " The secretary of the New Mexico Board of Medical Examiners went on to say that relicensure is a major topic today because of the demand for public accountability, fear of examination and Federal regulations , and the desire of the profession to police itself. " In the last five years re-licensure has been discussed more openly in New Mexico and other states, " Dr. Derbyshire said. In tracing the history of re-licensure Dr. Derbyshire pointed out that in 1947 the American Academy of General Practice had a rule that to keep your membership in the Academy physicians had to take continuing medical education courses. This organization, known as the Academy of Family Practice today, was years ahead of its time. In 1969 Oregon became the first state to require participation in continuing education for membership in the state medical association. Today 12 state medicql societies require continuing education for members to remain in good standing. Kentucky has a law that requires physicians' participation in continuing education programs for membership in the state medical society. In New Mexico and Maryland laws have been implemented that require 120 hours of continuing education over a threeyear period for re-licensure. Similar bills are pending in four statesArkansas, Florida, Iowa and Kansas. " Of the 1700 physicians in New Mexico, 1562 have met the requirements of re-licensure. There are only 18 physicians (living in the state) who are in serious trouble with this procedure. Others have moved, retired, or been granted extensions. So what is all the fuss about? That many very often fail to pay their annual dues ," Dr. Derbyshire said. " The reaction to the law by New Mexico physicians ranges from low key to a high crescendo." In 1967 the President's Commission on Medical Manpower recommended periodic re-licensure based upon continuing education or challenge examinations in the physician's specialty. Re-licensure has also been recommended by the Commission on Medical Malpractice. The president of the AMA favors continuing education as a requirement for re-licensure. He does not favor examinations for re-licensure, according to Dr. Derbyshire. In 1971 a Medical Opinion Survey showed 37 per cent of the doctors in the United States favored continuing education for re-licensure, 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The panel on "Re-Licensure and Re-Certification" - Drs. Derbyshire, Maloney, Felch, Alper. and two years later it was SO per cent in favor of a continuing education re-licensure plan. "There is no universal agreement on this issue of continuing education being a basis for re-licensure. Many physicians say there is no proof that continuing education improves patient care. "Since the law was passed in New Mexico there have been many more programs in continuing education all over the state and there has been an increase in attendance. The state medical society has been certified by the AMAas an accrediting body," Dr. Derbyshire concluded. Bioscientific knowledge is increasing so rapidly that it is no longer possible to assure the public that the quality of its medical care can be guaranteed by original training, original licensure or original certification of the physician, according to Dr. William C. Felch, attending in medicine, Grasslands Hospital, Valhalla, New York. "Today, the public needs some form of regular reaffirmation about its care, and the profession is motivated to accommodate this need for two reasons - one altruistic (to demonstrate its accountability to the public) and one selfish (to ward off the incursions of government in this arena)." Conceptually, there are three ways for the profession to make this affirmation, according to Dr. Felch: "The first is to document evidence of efforts to keep up with bioscientific knowledge by allotting credit for attendance at continuing medical education exercises. This system is well established and widely endorsed, but is criticized for not having proven beneficial impact on actual patient care. FALL, 1975 9 Spring Clinical Days �Drs. Carmela Armenia, G eo rge Th orn gate lV " The second way is to test for the possession of bioscientific information through periodic examination. This system is familiar , is the basis for original certification, and is currently proposed or already used for specialty board recertification. It is criticized because it tests only information (and not its application), and because of difficulties connected with its pass-fail implications. " The third way is to assess actual performance in everyday patient care through peer review. This approach is endorsed conceptually because it measures not only information but also interpersonal and problem-solving skills, by assessing behavior directly at the physicianpatient interface. It is criticized because it has not yet been shown to work in the real world ." Dr. Felch pointed out that these three systems differ , not only conceptually, but in such other factors as ease of accomplishment, expense, potential for use by private or public sector, agency likely to control, breadth of applicability, etc. " The argument can be advanced that we do not have to select only one of these systems, that each can be applied in a particular setting, depending on particular needs at the time. " Dr. Felch asked several questions : -should recertification apply only to doctors or to all health professions? -should the results be made public? Should the public participate? -should the person who can' t qualify be allowed to re-educate himself? -how do you measure the outcome- pass or fail? Where do you draw the line? -what should the content of the examination be? Should it be the same for all physicians? -what are we trying to measure-information, data , skills, knowledge, etc.? Dr. Felch stressed that we should look at the physicians' performance in dealing with patients. " This is the best way to determine how competent a man is. " Dr. Felch pointed out that priests, attorneys and politicians are not The sessions were informative, interesting 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �licensed. " If we keep our cool perhaps we can keep the government from intervening. And maybe we can prove to the public that we are doing a good job and that we are honest. " The past president of the American Society of Internal M edicine doesn' t believe original certification is a guarantee of lifelong competence. " Individual physicians must keep abreast of new knowledge and skills. " Physicians can attend lectures and daydream. Or they can attend sessions that have no practical bearing upon their particular areas of interest, " Dr. Felch concluded . Dr. Philip Alper talked about his three years ' experience as a member of the Union of American Physicians in California. " My union experience has been positive. My patients are neither impressed nor offended. I continue as their doctor and relate to them on a one-to-one basis . And my union membership did not change my relations with my colleagues. In fact, many showed considerable interest and I found that far more of them were considering union membership than I had expected . Confrontation and adversary relationships are not sought by my union. " The assistant clinical professor of medicine at the University of California School of Medicine in San Francisco noted that medical unions started in the 1930s. The interns and residents were the moving forces . They wanted workmen's compensation to cover injuries they received while riding ambulances. They also wanted group practice and national health insurance that was advocated by the Hoover Commission. The depression and World War II killed this union movement. But it was revived in 1957 when the Council of Interns and Residents (known for the New York City strike) was formed . Today their membership is 5,300. In 1961 the Doctors Association of New York City was formed. This organization represents 1,600 doctors working for municipal hospitals. In 1971 the Physicians National House Staff Association was formed. Today it has 25 ,000 members. " There have been many new medical unions formed in the last three years. There is no academic literature on unions . About our only source of information is the New York Times, Modern Medicine, Medical World News and Medical Economics . Today there are about 18 states with medical union activity. They claim 55,000 members. The movement is spreading to several other states and the University of Southern California is studying physici ·m unions . " The Las Vegas Union had 150 physicians who were paid for utilization and review work. This union later joined the Service Employees International Union. This is an example of a doctors' union affiliating with a labor union. In 1973 the American Federation of Physicians and Dentists was formed . This was an umbrella organization to unite all doctors' unions in the United States . " There has been a common theme of union policy. An identity of interest between doctor and patient (they are allies and the government and other third parties are the adversaries) , and no strike against patients, " Or. Alper said. In discussing the role of medical unions, Dr. Alper said, " Unions should not be fighting a war in which the mission of medicine gets lost. In California unions take adversary stands, provide service, give testimony to congressional committees, help patients, arbitrate, do collective bargaining, find lost claims, represent salaried physicians, and aid in collections.

Spring Clinical Days Third pla c e exhibit , Pra c ti c al Appli cations of Automation in Radiology, by Dr. C.S. Tirone . �Drs. Paul Weinmann, Marvin Block "The union also helps physicians get reimbursed for spending innumerable hours in review and administrative functions. There is a virtual orgy of criteria setting and rule making aimed at spelling out what constitutes ideal medical care. Doctors cannot indefinitely take on paid third-party bureaucrats who work on the job from nine to five. " Dr. Alper agrees with Dr. Harry Schwartz (Stockton Kimball speaker last year) on several points: -American medicine is under siege -Union movement among physicians is moving very rapidly -Government is the leading buyer of health care services and will want accountability -American physicians and researchers are among the world's leaders -Collective bargaining will have to come for physicians because of the 'politics on envy' -Concept of health care is a human right without responsibility of what this right is by the man in the street -The Federal government is aiming for complete control of medicine -Trend is toward more hospital based physicians. " The Union of American Physicians has accomplished some significant things that have benefited both physicians and patients," Dr. Alper concluded. Specialization, Distribution, Education " Where a physician practices depends upon the attractiveness of the community, financial rewards, and whether a doctor is needed. " Dr. Helen Ranney went on to say specialization is blamed on the medical schools and this should not be their responsibility. The chairman of the department of medicine at the University of California Medical School in San Diego was the Stockton Kimball speaker. "It will be hard to turn back specialization because of the way our health system is set up. Money is the big factor, and sub-specialties is a national problem. We cannot hope to improve health care by changing medical schools and their educational system. This would be unrewarding, awkward, and slow." The physician-educator continued, " Medical schools should not be asked to solve the physician distribution problem. But it is forced upon us by legislatures because they find medical schools can be pushed around more than any other groups in our health system. Medical schools are always short of money and this forces them into some very inappropriate roles. " Although medical schools are blamed for " not producing enough generalists" Dr. Ranney said the blame for that lies more with the abolition of the military draft. "With no draft medical students are going into specialty training. (Usually they spent two years in the service.) Money is another factor. " Dr. Ranney said the problem of regulating numbers of specialists and generalists could be approached in several ways. " Personally I feel the better alternative would be to have regions developed so we could 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Drs . F. Carter Pannill, Helen Ranney, Michael Sullivan have some planning on a broader geographic scale to estimate need, population trends, and economic realities. Based on these estimates some method would be devised to provide the right numbers of various types of doctors for each region . We are facing much more regimentation than we have ever been used to- if we are to solve this problem. We can expect a great upheaval on our current training programs. We can expect hard words and injured feelings among institutions if we are to have new training programs in the sub-specialties. " The professor of medicine mentioned the Imperial Valley (80 miles east of San Diego) where a lot of people live. " But market and economic pressures won' t solve the problem of where physicians practice alone. In this case the summers are too hot. How do you get a physician to move to the Imperial Valley? This is a challenge for medicine. If we don ' t come up with some answers soon, the government will. " In reviewing the educational trends in medical education Dr. Ranney said, " Some medical schools have abandoned the 'lock step four-year curriculum' in favor of more electives. Basic science courses have been streamlined. And the material students receive in pre-clinical years is more clinically oriented than it was when I was a medical student. It is very difficult to select material for a core program because what you think is important today rna; not be so important five or 15 years from now. " Several years ago a famous medical educator said " One half of what we have taught you is wrong. We don' t know which half. " The California physician-educator believes the fourth year elective in a sub-specialty or advanced clerkship is a reasonable kind of educational experience. " I am not so sure about a fourth year rotation in cardiology or a surgical sub-specialty. Putting a fourth year student in that role of sub-specialty is wrong because the student has not had internship or residency training." Another aspect of medical education is the increasing number or physicians we have placed in training in medical schools in recent years, some by increased class sizes and new medical schools. There are many more physicians in the pipeline today. " The number of programs for training paramedical people has increased to the extent that we are going to have to reach a definition of the role of the paramedical person versus the physician. d-- FALL, 1975 13 Spring Clinical Days �Spring Clinical Days The Stockton Kimball luncheon. "In the last few years the number of medical students has increased by 30 or 40 per cent, but the number of internships around the country have not increased that much. Some internships have been abandoned by hospitals not strongly affiliated with medical schools. However , the competition for house staff positions will increase because these positions are supported by patient care monies, " Dr. Ranney concluded . 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Boy Given Nuclear Pacemaker Mrs. Hubert G. Klein, Or. Subramanian, Glenn Klein with his stuffed animal. A six-year-old boy was the first patient at Children's Hospital to receive a nuclear-powered heart pacemaker and the youngest person in the United States to receive such a unit. Dr. S. Subramanian, chief of cardiovascular surgery at Children's Hospital, implanted the device in Glenn Klein of Tonawanda during a one- half hour operation Saturday, April 26. The associate professor of surgery at the Medical School implanted the unit in the deep muscles of Glenn 's abdomen. A wire passing beh;nd his breast bone connects the pacemaker to Glenn's heart muscle. "The electric current to stimulate Glenn's heart is provided by plutonium in the pacemaker. It will stimulate Glenn 's heart 'on demand ' whenever the number of times it beats per minute drops below 72. Prior to his receiving the pacemaker Glenn's heart sometimes beat only 40 times per minute," Dr. Subramanian said. The hospital is the only children's hospital in the United States licensed by the AEC to do nuclear-powered pacemaker implants. In July 1972 two patients at Buffalo's Veterans Hospital were the first two persons in the United States to receive nuclear- powered units . Dr. Subramanian said, " the pacemaker implanted in Glenn Klein has an expected life span of more than 40 years. It's possible that surgery might be required before that time to replace its electrodes." While Glenn will be limited in terms of participation in contact and competitive sports, Dr. Subramanian said " Glenn will be able to participate in normal physical activity for a child his age. " FALL, 1975 15 �Hippocratic Oath- Taking 129th Annual Commencement Dr. John 8. Sheffer responds to MEDENTIAN dedication. It was solemn. It was traditional. And yet the 129th commencement of the School of Medicine was different. For, as Dean John Naughton noted, " your class represents a greater proportion of women and minority student graduates than at any other time in our history. " He expressed the need for vigilance as forces in the profession as well as society " challenge some of the judgments you will make." From class president William H. Hall, an appeal to classmates to " do their utmost to eliminate intolerable inequities of health care to all as well as the need to increase the woefully inadequate number of culturally and educationally disadvantaged students in medicine." In dedicating the yearbook to Dr. John Sheffer class vice president Ronald David noted "the individual who was an example of the superb quality of teaching available ... his personal approach to student evluation ... and willingness to serve as acting chairman of pathology for three long years. " It was the third time students have honored Dr. Sheffer. " With the award of this highest honor that any faculty member could ask, " he pledged to " try to maintain a worthiness to the trust you have placed in me." In a tribute to Mother's Day, Dr. Naughton asked that mothers, wives and grandmothers present be so honored. 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �24 Seniors Honored T wenty-four senior medical students shared 18 awards at the 129th commencement exercises May 11 in Kleinhans Music Hall.

Hall, President- Class of 1975 Medical Education Dean Naughton congratulates Dr. John Lovecchio. __ Dr. Marguerite Dynski signs Book of Physicians as Dr. Marra watches. _, __, Because of substandard academic preparation and below-average financial means combined with the crippling effects of racism, medical education continues to be costly and difficult for the Black student to achieve. Efforts to recruit, accommodate, and retain educationally and culturally-disadvantaged students must be not only continued but accelerated. We must bridge the gap between the percentage of Black doctors and the percentage of the Black population as a whole. The nonBlack doctor/patient ratio is approximately 1/650; the Black doctor/patient ratio is 1/4300. At present six percent of all medical students are Black. We comprise eight percent of the freshman classes nationally (partly due to the disproportionate number of Blacks repeating the first year). We are 12 to 14 percent of the population. Recognizing that progress has been made, I urge you to join in whatever way you can to strengthen our commitment and aid in this struggle. Maldistribution of Physicians The distribution of physicians in this country leaves many areas with disgracefully-poor access to health care services. The most logical approach to this problem is in my view to provide students of all racial and economic backgrounds, in all parts of the country, equal opportunity to acquire the training so that they may serve their own people as only they can do. Our nation's most significant effort to achieve a more equitable distributior.~ of health care services has been the National Health Service Corps. It has however had its problems. Since 1974 NHSC has had to increase incentives and recruitment efforts to meet their quotas, whereas before the American draft ended there was a waiting list. Another significant finding is that in an organization whose prime goal is to provide health care to poor and disadvantaged people there was only one (1) Black physician working at a NHSC site as of January 1 of this year. We must have longer-term, more basic approaches aimed at the causes of our problem. Health Maintenance Organizations HMO's as they are called, are the latest solution to the problem of providing low-cost health care to large numbers of people, while attempting to maintain the personal quality associated with traditional private practice. HMO is good news and bad news. While it is a lowcost, pre-paid health service program which provides health education programs and is conveniently located, there is the real possibility that the concept of a prepaid insurance-type health plan will be unattractive to the most needy of our population. How many underpaid heads of households do you suppose are likely to place preventive and maintenance health care at the top of their priority list ? The Malpractice Insurance Crisis Today's malpractice insurance crisis is merely one more indication of the deteriorating personal relationship between doctor and patient and the narrowing gap between the doctors' and the patients' levels of 20 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Drs. Evan Calkins and F. Carter Pannill. A fellow classmate is congratulated by Class President William H. Hall and Vice President Ronald David. understanding of body functions . It is also symbolic of the cut-throat attitude that exists, encouraging that every opportunity for financial gain or revenge be exploited fully by any means available and necessary. I further note a shifting of lawyers' attention from the once-lucrative automobile accident lawsuit to the up-and-coming medical malpractice arena. No-fault insurance has severely stifled the auto accident lawsuit market. As expected it is the patient who is the victim and who will continue to suffer. Only now it is with a new kind of injustice. There is no practical value in creating an adversary relationship between doctor and patient. Examinations in General; Admissions and Licensing in Particular Formal academic examinations remain a major hindrance to the average Black medical student. Once again the substandard quality education collaborates with cultural and racial disadvantage to remind us that we shall have to compete if we are to survive in a system designed for the culturally-different majority. A double-edged sword is needed to cut through this particular obstacle. First, the education system must provide a mechanism for eliminating the disparities that result from the dual-education system. Secondly, the examination process must be scrutinized to remove all elements of cultural bias and strengthen itself as a valid tool for the measuring of professional potential or competence. "Reverse Discrimination" At issue in many professions is the claim of reverse discrimination against non-Black persons. Most recently the conflict between the affirmative action programs and layoffs, according to established seniority systems in police departments and in industry, has received much attention. Some of us don' t seem to understand that the most essential element of any catch- up program is favoritism toward the underdog! It is about as reasonable to expect the caboose to catch up with the engine of a train as it is to expect Blacks to recover our loss with no accommodation for the injustice done us. Within the very system that created this dFALL, 1975 21 �Beginning with the Medical School's first special Class Day in 1961, and continuing when the ceremony was transformed into the formal commencement program in 1973, the Marshal has carried a baton symbolizing his authority as director of the proceedings. The original baton, "temporary" in nature was made by Dr. Joseph Benforado, associate dean, from a turned wooden chair rung. Over the years it acquired an aura of tradition, and had in fact become a permanent part of the School's ceremony. Following the commencement of 1974 the baton was stolen. The new baton replacement was designed and made by Dr. Robert L. Brown over the past year. The design is the traditional staff of Aesculapius. The single snake was cast on bronze by the lost wax technique by the Ashford Hollow Foundatio'!, and has been given a dark brown and green patina. The snake is coiled around the classical forked rough staff, which merges at its lower end into an ornamentally carved handle. The wood is cherry, with a dark brown stain. The baton was carried in this year's commencement by Dr. Harold Brody. Dr. Ross Markello marches with Dr. Harold Brody who holds new Baton . condition, recovery is absolutely impossible without the so-called '' reverse discrimination.' ' Admittedly, I have addressed myself mainly to issues adversely affecting Black people. This, I feel, is fitting and proper since Blacks comprise a large proportion of the disadvantaged of this country- the single group to which our strongest efforts should be directed. I appeal to each of you in the Class of 1975 to commit yourselves to doing all you can to eliminate the intolerable inequities that exist in the quality of health care available to the peoples of this nation and the world . We, the Class of 1975, shall do our utmost to direct the course of our lives in a manner which will reflect well upon this university. We trust that the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine will continue in a positive direction to provide quality medical education while implementing a socially-responsible philosophy. We hope that Drs. Cummiskey, Lee, Musselman, Nolan, Sheffer, and others of similar commitment and skill will persist in their worthy efforts despite resistance and disapproval from their lessdedicated comrades. We appreciate having had this opportunity to realize our ambitions. Sincere thanks to all of you who have made this day possible! Thank you . o 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Medentian Honors Three Professors Dr. Sheffer For the second consecutive year Drs. Thomas G. Cummiskey and John B. Sheffer were honored in the MEDENTIAN, Schools of Dentistry/Medicine yearbook, for their dedication to teaching and concern for students. The medical students dedicated the MEDENTIAN to Dr. Sheffer. Dr. Cummiskey, a second year radiology resident at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital, volunteered for the second time to write recommendation letters for students seeking internships. He was assistant dean for student affairs from 1970 to 1973. In citing Dr. Cummiskey, " ... with special appreciation for agreeing to undertake the task of writing our letters. Many of us have seen examples of Dr. Cummiskey's recommendation letters. He has always done his best to be fair to all students, finding positive qualities to stress without ever engaging in misrepresentation which would impair his widespread credibility with many hospital department chiefs across the country. Virtually all of us wanted a 'Cummiskey letter ' for this reason and also because he knew us best." Dr. Sheffer, a clinical professor of pathology, has been on the faculty for 25 years. Dr. Sheffer was cited ... "for all he has taught us, to dedicate ourselves to reach for thoLe human ideals to which he constantly aspires and so often magically attains; his personal approach to student evaluation and willingness to serve as acting chairman of pathology for three years. Dr. Sheffer has shown us the ideal of a person who has dedicated himself to teaching those who wish to learn. The best way we can honor Dr. Sheffer is too dedicate ourselves to that task of always trying to help our fellow man. Dr. Sheffer, more than any other person during our medical career, has exemplified the spirit of selfless giving." The dental students honored Dr. Davis A. Garlapo, associate professor of restorative dentistry. He was cited .... "for bridging the span between the academic-clinical years and the practicing dentist. His well prepared and presented lectures, clinical demonstrations, and personal contact have been beneficial and rewarding. Within his own specialty of fixed prosthodontics he has provided an exemplary model of clinical technique and precision." FALL, 1975 23 Dr. Cummiskey �Survive If You Can by PaulL. Weinmann, M '54 Immediate Past President Medica/Alumni Association There is an imperative inherent in the existence of all living creatures. And it is to this survival dictum that medicine is dedicated, insofar as it pertains to human beings. As the old year draws to a close and as we consider the events of 1975, we realize that survival underlies most undertakings. We are concerned with individual survival, generic survival of humanity, social survival of our community and political survival of our way-of-life; to say nothing of the more recent clamor for survival of the environment and ecologic harmony. As physicians we are dedicated to even more than survival. We are concerned with lifting man from a slave-like dependence on his physical structure by providing the modern support of life sciences and medical arts. It is not only life but the quality of life that concerns us . As is well-known, Jacques Monod was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology in 1965. His recent essay on the natural philosophy of modern biology entitled, " Chance and Necessity" refers to an observation made by the so-called Father of Science, Democritus, that "everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and necessity." It seems that an additional ingredient is also operative. This is the Will. It may be that Democritus ignored the Will since there was no word to express this concept, nor indeed, did this concept exist in the time of the pre-Socratics. We, however, do recognize that there appears to be more to existence than mere chance and necessity. As we consider the continuum of time with its orderly progression of events, let us dedicate our wills to the preservations of good health for all those with whom we come in contact, remembering the guiding dictum of our profession - "Primum non nocere" - Above all, do no harm. t Summer Fellowships F or medical students, the summer fellowship program provides research and educational opportunities not offered as part of their regular medical curriculum. This summer, 10 freshmen and 11 sophomores received stipends from $750 to $1000 to work for an eight to ten-week period on either basic or clinical projects that include investigations in health care or community problems. Here is how the program works. Interested students, working in collaboration with a faculty sponsor, prepare and submit·a proposal for review by the Fellowship Committee. Sponsors may be chosen independently or from a list available in the Dean's office. Each committee member reviews all proposals which are then ranked according to a grading system based on several pertinent criteria. And funding, says committee chairman, Dr. Perry Hogan, is based on their ranked order. "Most funds received this year," he continued, " were earmarked for research-oriented projects, as has been the case for the past few years. " Four students received $1000 grants to continue worthy research on a year-round basis. Dr. Hogan feels that these higher stipends " encourage students to pursue investigative work which may direct them to future careers in academic medicine." 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �While most of the students worked in Buffalo, one went to Haiti to gain a first-hand view of medical problems in a developing country, another worked in pathology at Nassau County Medical Center, while a third searched for new antigens in human sarcoma at the SloanKettering Institute. Three chose family practice, 16 research, and two selected clinical fields. Committee members this year were Drs. Perry Hogan (physiology); Seymour Axelrod (psychiatry); Carl Bentzel (medicine); Gerard Burns (surgery); David Dean (medicine); John Edwards (medicine); Murray Ettinger (biochemistry); Frank Kallen (anatomy); John Richert (asistant dean and registrar); Rudolph Williams (assistant dean, office of medical education). $1000 Continuing Research Projects Recipient Project Bernstein, David '77 Induction characterization of secretory antibody response to colostrum Kuwik, Richard '77 Deposition of mercury in human brain, other tissue, particularly the alcoholic Zornek, Nicholas '77 Site/ Sponsor Dr. P.

Malnutrition in Africa Dr. Catz has just returned from a second tour of Africa. This time she journeyed to Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Camaroon, Kenya and Tunisia where she lectured on both medical and nutritional topics and shared her experiences as a professional woman in the States to groups of women in Africa. On August 1, Dr. Catz started a new assignment. At the National Institute of Health and Human Development she is supervising the funding of basic research on pregnancy, fetal development, and congenital anomalities. Mrs. Pruit is completing her third visit to Africa. While on sabbatical as a Fulbright Scholar at the Centre de Recherches Biologique Neonatales in Paris, pediatrician Charlotte Catz was asked by USIA to share her expertise on nutrition with several African nations. She did. As she journeyed to Chad, the Ivory Coast, and Ethiopia to talk to both professionals and laity, she discovered she was the beneficiary. It was an education for her in attitudes, history, and culture. Chad, she recalls, is one of the world's poorest and most inaccessible countries. Largely desertlike, few of its three-million inhabitants are either skilled or educated. On a visit to one. of its hunger-stricken villages, she found "communication can be a problem." While its inhabitants eagerly accepted the Japanese soya cookies and dried milk packages offered them, they were unable to reap their full nutritional value. Instructions on their preparation, the associate professor of pediatrics pointed out, were written in German. Many of the medical programs under the minister of health, a pediatrician, as well as a pediatric service run by a Belgian nurse she found to be very good. "More and more women being trained in midwifery are helping in outlying regions, " Dr. Catz said. The real problems there however remain those of infection and malnutrition. While a UNESCO-funded maternal/child protection.center offered cooking and nutrition classes, immunization and teaching programs were reaching into isolated areas via midwives/nutritionists who traveled there via two half-ton trucks, even though petrol remains a serious problem. Thank God for American astronauts, Dr. Catz recalls. Prior to a state visit to Chad by Libya's Khadafi, all hotel guests were asked to find other quarters. But as she was an American - one or two rooms were always reserved for visiting astronauts - she found herself occupying one of these rooms. "I had the hotel entirely to myself," she recalled. That Saturday evening, the town's sole movie focused on the Khadafi state visit. The parades, the forced villager attendance provided Dr. Catz with a first-hand view into the political life of Chad. 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �.. Africa - A Continent of Contrasts FALL, 1975 27 �Different problems were found to be at hand on her visit to the Ivory Coast. A more affluent society, its many natural resources and industry resulted in a better-informed public and very good maternal/child protection programs. What may well have been a status symbol for progress- the arrival of TV - was having an adverse effect on a national campaign for the breastfeeding of infants. " Ivory Coast mothers ," she revealed, " want to identify with the TV image of the white/blonde mother who is bottlefeeding her baby." The contradictions for Dr. Catz continued. Although she found a sophisticated Cobalt machine dominating a modern medical school's radiology department, it was inoperable. " A small part was missing," she said. And while there are few dental schools in Africa, there are medical schools, in fact four or five. More meaningful for Africans , believes Dr. Catz, may be mobile universities. " Here local talent can travel around . The need is to deal with the big problems first. " Her visit to Ethiopia exposed her to everything from the primitive to the most sophisticated. In the old capital of Gondar, she found excellent programs in its School of Public Health. Here, not physicians but school graduates were directing community health care activities. Surgeons, all Indian volunteers , she observed to be overworked. And while one of the continent's outstanding research centers on nutrition is located in Addis Ababa , she pointed to TB. " It remains a problem in the Ethiopian hinterlands, " she said. Foreign student advisor France Pruit agrees with most of Dr. Catz' African observations. While in Paris where her husband was spending a sabbatical, the U/ B staff member completed research on African adaptation to foreign education. " It pointed out the value of orientation before students leave home, " she said . As a UNESCO advisor, she advised adminstrative educators in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Tunisia on the value of orientation in terms of student expectations, educational success, the necessity to check for school accreditation and degrees. On a second visit to Senegal, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Madagasgar, Kenya - she continued to advise on the importance of orientation. To get an idea of what life can be like in these countries , she would encourage the young to join the Peace Corps, " to help at the grass roots level. " In her research on malnourished rats, Dr. Catz found that the use of drugs appears to be changing and should be evaluated. While she cautioned on extrapolating these findings to humans , she did point to the need to pursue this situation in humans as well. o 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �.. What may well be one of the few courses on latest methods in immunologic research and diagnosis offered to physicians and researchers around the world was hosted by the Center for Immunology (June 16July 3}. Thirty participants, selected from over 100 applications, ranged from department heads to postdoctoral fellows . Noted Center director Dr. James F. Mohn, " They came from Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, from University biology departments, pharmaceutical houses, research institutions and hospitals as well as the U.S. Public Health Service. Some came from as far away as Taiwan, Iran, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Belgium, Austria, Venezuela, Argentina, and Italy. Others represented at least 12 states in this country. One, notes Dr. Mohn, even comes from as near as U/ B. Housed at the University's Clement Hall, he was certain their threeweek work schedule was a hectic one. For not only did daily demonstrations and laboratory exercises touch on all methodology available today but a faculty of over 30 from SUNYAB, Roswell Park ~ Memorial Institute, affiliated hospitals and institutions as well as a small number of distinguished guest lecturers provided some insight into underlying immunologic principles as well. Declared Dr. Mohn who is professor of microbiology and also heads a blood research group, " lectures we had planned for the evenings ran until ten or eleven. " But there were also opportunities to meet one another at an opening reception, at a banquet, at rap sessions held until the wee hours following lectures, and on weekends when there was time to explore the Niagara Frontier and its activities. The course was the fourth to be sponsored biannually by The Center for Immunology in conjunction with the Erie County Laboratory and the WHO Regional Reference Laboratory for the Serology of Autoimmune Disease. The first was offered in 1969. Said Dr. Mohn, " The response to the course was overwhelming. While some will be able to improve their diagnostic methods, others their teaching, and still others their research.<> Dr. John J. Patti Honored It was " Dr. John]. Patti Day" on June 7 in Sherman, New York. The Chautauqua County community honored the 65-year-old general practitioner for his 35 years of service. Dr. Patti, 1938 Medical School graduate, interned at Our Lady of Victory Hospital, Lackawanna. " I am not going to retire because I am healthy and making a good living," he said. Dr. Patti practiced medicine for eight months in North Java before coming to Sherman in 1940. He was a Captain in the United States Medical Corps during WW II, returning to Sherman in 1944. He has attended five generations and delivered over 2,000 babies. Dr. Patti has been Town of Sherman Health Officer for 16 years and school physician since 1942. He headed immunization clinics in Sherman for 35 years. Dr. Patti is on the staff of Jamestown General and W.C.A. Hospitals.<> FALL, 1975 29 Immunologic Research/Diagnosis �• A Tribute to Dr. Lambert Or. Lambert's portrait was unveiled by his son, Gordon, and Mr. Prochownik " Ed Lambert' s world was wide and deep . His professional accomplishments inspired his students, colleagues and patients ." With these remarks, Dr. Peter Vlad , professor of pediatrics and chief, division of cardiology at Children's Hospital, set the tone at the special dedication ceremonies for Dr. Edward C. Lambert, who died in March 1974. Dr. Lambert was an internationally known pioneer in children's heart surgery. In 1950 he established the Children's Hospital cardiology department and later was its chairman and director. It has been named the Edward C. Lambe.rt Department of Cardiology. In paying tribute to Dr. Lambert, Dean John Naughton of the Medical School said, " Dr. Lambert was an individual dedicated to the good principles of a physician. He was thorough and had compassion. He was a competent teacher, investigator, physician and administrator. He was humble, honest, and dedicated to doing an excellent job." Dr. Roland Anthone, president of the medical board of Children's Hospital and clinical associate professor of surgery, said, " Dr. Lambert endowed Children's Hospital with pediatric cardiac care that was as good as any in the nation. Part of his legacy is the many physicians he trained. He will also be remembered for his personal warmth and friendship. " Mrs. Nathaniel A. Barrell, president, board of managers , Children's Hospital, said, " Dr. Lambert will be remembered for his ' people to people' contact and for his service and dedication to his patients and to the hospital. " Dr. Klaas Bossina, president of the European Pedi atric Cardiologists Association, spoke for all of Dr. Lambert's man y European friends . " He was a devoted and inspiring man with a deep interest in our small European groups. " Dr. Helen B. Taussig, professor emeritus of pediatrics at The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, was Dr. Lambert's mentor. " His interest in cardiology started in Boston. After serving two years in World War II Dr. Lambert joined me in 1948. He was very considerate and sensitive of 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �• patients and people he worked with. He was a 'citizen of the world' who loved history and art. He was also an avid reader, a great teacher and a very warm person. He never lost the 'human side of things' ." Dr. Donal L.

Seminar ih Rio Deplaning at Rio's Cavae Airport 32 Despite some 100-degree days, the Continuing Education Medical-Dental Seminar in Rio de Janeiro was, on the whole, a most happy event. Doctors and dentists attended five days of comprehensive lectures covering hypnosis and general practice; the perils of cholesterol, tobacco, and hypertension; psychosomatic aspects of Dr. Ketter opened both dental (shown here) and medical seminars with brief remarks and handled questions about professional education and seminars.

Weinmann, president of the School of Medicine Alumni Association. Fun to watch the 'locals' time their high dives with the incoming surf, but no U/ B alumni climbed the rock. FALL, 1975 Dentists covered preventive concepts and practice, including conservative cavity preparations and restorative materials. Also, the acid-teeth technic, direct-bonding agents, and operative dentistry in the 70' s. Dr. Gerard Wieczkowski, assistant professor of operative dentistry, led the seminar. The wives or husbands thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality and amenities of the very new Rio Sheraton, located on its own beach and a short walk from Lebloa and lpanema beaches, or a quicker shuttle bus ride to neighboring Copacabana. Fresh Atlantic breezes always make life tolerable in the tropics. A plethora of smells, sights, and sounds earns Rio the apt description of " fascinating, " and the U/B snow birds took them all in, from breathtaking Sugar Loaf sitting astride the Atlantic and picturesque Guanabara Bay, to the 2,330 foot aweinspiring Corcovado (Hunchback) mountain and its magnificent 115-foot-high statue of Christ the Redeemer which can be seen with its outstretched hands and arms night and day from many vantage points in Rio. Dining out included spicy native dishes which featured mixtures of beef, very good pork and black beans or gourmet in the continental manner. When classes were over, and between visits to landmarks, alumni couples enticed themselves by shopping for one of Brazil' s most famous products, gemstones and jewelry; specifically gold, diamonds, aquamarines, tourmalines, topaz, amethysts, and emeralds. There were 138 people in the U/B Alumni Association traveling party that was escorted by John Carter, president of the U/B Foundation and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Dock (he is publications director of the General Alumni Association). <) 33 �Drs. Farzan, Tourbaf Honored Or. Farzan examin es a patient. T wo associate professors of clinical medicine, Drs. Sattar Farzan and Kamal Tourbaf, were honored as " outstanding teachers " by the 1975 graduating residents in internal medicine. The two Medical School faculty members were surprised when they were presented plagues and monogrammed white coats at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital dinner dance June 14 at the Sheraton-East. The inscription on the plagues: "award for distinguished teaching to (Sattar Farzan, Kamal Tourbaf)- in deepest gratitude of your sincere efforts toward helping each of us become capable physicians and in recognition of your clearly superior ability to teach medicine. Thank you. Graduating residents in internal medicine, SUNY I AB School of Medicine Affiliated Hospitals, 1975." Dr. Robert DiBianco, M'72 , (a graduating internal medicine resident) said, " these two men are unsung heroes. They worked ' around the clock' for three years, lecturing, teaching, and consulting with us , presenting cases and attending ward meetings. Their judgment and wisdom was excellent. Teaching, to us , is highly important, second only to patient care. " Dr. DiBianco went on to say that the 30 graduating residents in internal medicine " wanted to bestow honors this year rather than receive them. These two men have contributed most to our knowledge of medicine and have consistently given much of their time, effort, and themselves to the housestaff, students, and patients. " Dr. Tourbaf joined the Medical School faculty in July 1965 . He had his training in Iran at both Tabriz Medical School and Teheran Medical School where he received his M.D. degree in 1958, after completing an internship in parasitology. From 1959 to 1963, Dr. Tourbaf was Medical Director of outpatient clinics in Teheran. He did postgraduate work in internal medicine (cardiology, 1963-64) at the Hospital Broussais, Paris. He came to Buffalo in 1964 and had a rotating internship at Sisters of Charity Hospital. He moved to the Meyer Hospital for his residency in internal medicine in 1965 . After completing his residency in 1968, he was a Hematology Fellow. Currently Dr. Tourbaf is associate director for the department of medicine at the Meyer Hospital; an associate attending for Children's Hospital; an attending for the Meyer and Veterans Hospitals; coordinator for the University Housestaff Teaching Program and the fourth year medicine program and director of the Hemophilia Center at the Meyer. Dr. Farzan was graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Tabriz Medical School in 1956 and served in the Iranian Army . He came to the Medical School in 1968. He was an intern and resident at the Washington (D.C.) Hospital Center (1960-62) . From 1962- 64 he was a second year resident in medicine at the University of Louisville Hospital. The following year he was chief resident physician at the B.S . Pollack Hospital for Chest Diseases, in Jersey City. From July 1965 to December 1966 he was senior staff physician and assistant medical director of the Kentucky State Tuberculosis Hospital. Currently Dr. Farzan is an attending and consultant for the Meyer, Children's, Veterans and Newfane Intercommunity Hospitals. He has been assistant medical director of Mount View Hospital in Lockport since 1966. 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The 30 graduating residents in internal medicine, who honored Drs.

Edward Langford, M'74, is a first year family practice resident. " I nterest and concern for people- patients and employees. " This is what makes the D eaconess Hospital's internship-residency program so unique, according to Dr. Edward Marine, chairman of the hospital's medical education program. The ' individuality' of the department heads , who rotate with Dr. Marine as medical education program chairman, is also unique. The hospital has the reputation of being a " friendly place" with quality programs. It is no accident that "friendly care" is the hospital's motto. " The patients see it that way and so do all the people who work here - pre-medical, nurses, houses taff, administrators, secretaries, " the clinical associate professor of medicine said. " Inter-department cooperation is the key to successful operation of our programs for our 77 interns and residents, 30 of whom are U/ B Medical School graduates. We have quality programs because each department head has a nucleus of types who know what is going on in their area. A small number of full-time faculty are always available for consultation. " Our Family Practice residency program is a good example of the camaraderie at Deaconess . All departments contribute to this program. It is a joint venture between departments and practitioners. This program alone attracted more than $700,000 in state and federal grant support this year. There was additional financial support from the hospital," said Dr. Marine. Drs. Robert Fugitt, M'73, and Keith Russell, M'74, discuss their residency programs with Or. Donald Becker, chairman of the surgery department. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Russell Elwell, M '72, visits with Dr. Donald Becker who is also clinical associate professor of surgery at the Medical School. Dr. Elwell is chief resident at Deaconess and in 1976 he hopes to go into private practice in Chautauqua County. Dr. Nicholas Capuana, M'71, examines a patient. He is going into the United States Navy as a Lt. Commander in July, 1975. The 29-year-old physician will return to Deaconess to complete his residency in 1977. Dr. Michael Armani, M'71, in the Wettlaufer Clinic with a patient. Dr. Armani was a Captain in the United States Army in Germany from 1972 to 1974. He returned to Deaconess where he had interned to enter the residency program. He will continue in the program through 1977. The family practice resident takes one month at Children's Hospital during his first year and another month later. For his other specialties he may select Deaconess or rotate among several hospitals (Meyer Memorial, Buffalo General, Millard Fillmore, South Buffalo Mercy, Roswell Park, Veterans). Dr. Marine believes good patient care evolves around an educational setting in a hospital. " We have been able to demonstrate the' team effort' to third and fourth-year medical students. They see a real commitment to medical education here. They like what they see and many want to continue their education here as interns and residents. " The hospital has had a teaching program for many years. When Dr. Donald Becker came here in 1967 from the Medical School where he was associate dean for student affairs for four years, things really began to happen. He was one of the first full-time department heads at Deaconess. d- FALL, 1975 �The Ob/Gyn department has been going strong for ten years and in July will be a part of the Medical School's residency program. Dr. Eugene J. Zygaj is acting chairman. Other departmental chairmen are Drs. Elizabeth P. Olmsted {ophthalmology); Roy E. Seibel {radiology); and Robert H. Seller (family medicine). They are all on the Medical School faculty. As chairman of the department of medicine at Deaconess, Dr. Marine hopes to find new and better ways that internists can work with family practitioners. He is developing a full-time faculty to provide teaching in major specialties of inter- Radiology residents- Drs. David Wiechec (left front), Ronald Osgood, M'73, and David Rowland, M'71. Dr. Barry Herman, attending physician, visits with two family practice residents, Dr. Daniel S. McMahon, M'73, and Dr. Daniel Morelli, M'74. Mrs. Carol Hoffman, R .N., head nurse of three south, checks a chart with Dr. ]ames Freeman, M'74, who is in the Ob/Gyn residency program. He is the first black Ph .D.-M.D . in the program . Dr. Freeman will be working at six hospitals Deaconess, E.]. Meyer, Children's, Millard Fillmore, South Buffalo Mercy, Buffalo General- during the next three years of his residency. He is an assistant professor of biochemistry at the Medical School. nal medicine. He hopes these people will interact with family physicians as consultants. "Another strength, " according to Dr. Marine, "is we don't follow the leader and duplicate everything other hospitals do. We don't want an open heart unit, but we do want a strong coronary care unit. And our Wettlaufer Eye Clinic is unique in serving the medicallyindigent population." 0 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Pemphigus/Psoriasis Link An understanding of the way in which psoriasis develops has been revealed by researcher/ clinician teams in Buffalo and Poland. And it confirms and extends findings of a Buffalo-trained team in Bergen, Norway. By refinement of a labeling technique known as complement immunofluorescence, Drs. Ernst Beutner and Suyu Shu of U/ B's Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, together with Warsaw, Poland 's Professor Stefania Jablonska and Dr. T . P. Chorzelski have shown an unusual group of autoantibodies- the universal stratum corneum ones- to be implicated in this chronic disease. These SCAb, as they are appropriate termed , fix complement in psoriatic lesions . Dr. Beutner who is professor of microbiology and dermatology points to their first encounter accidently back in 1968 by Buffalo's Dr. Felix Milgrom while studying cytophilic antibodies in a cancer research program. They were then studied in detail by this and other red cell-tagging methods for a number of years by Norwegian physicians Hans Krogh, Olive Tonder, and associates , and more recently by three different immunofluorescent staining procedures. Adds Dr. Beutner, who together with Dr. Robert Jordan discovered the pehmphigus antibody a decade ago , " we have also been able to pinpoint a specific relationship between the development of psoriasis and pemphigus. " In more conventional types of autoimmune response , as in pemphigus antibodies , the development of an autoimmune response is an unusual event. " By reacting with naturally-occurring pemphigus , it may cause acantholytic lesions to develop, " he said . When this happens, universal SCAb may leak through to fix in vivo. " It may even contribute to the onset of lesion formation ," he added. But in psoriasis, even minor trauma such as abrasion may lead to psoriatic lesions. In this Kobner Phenomenon, SCAb leak from capillaries through the epithelial layer into the stratum corneum. It is here where Dr. Beutner has shown that SCAb fix specific components of complement, the C, and C. ones. That all normal human adults hzve SCAb , he feels, may be due to antigens of the cornified layer (carbohydrate with alpha-linked glucose determinants by Krogh) . He believes it is " their complete separation from the circulation that allows cross-reacting antigens of bacteria in our normal flora to prompt antibody formation. " But no matter how they get there, various labeling techniques prove " we all have SCAb." Dr. Beutner feels this breakdown in permeability barriers and leakage through the epidermis which may be due to some hereditary predisposition in the primary lesion of psoriasis, trauma or in other skin diseases whre in vivo fixation of complement occurs may have similar effects . With this understanding of the underlying mechanisms of psoriasis, Dr. Beutner points to the possibility of overcoming the difficulty some patients are having with resistant forms of this disease . " We can now look for chemical agents that will prevent penetration of SCAb through the surface of the skin or topical agents that change surface antigens so the reaction cannot take place."

Fisher Nutrition Lectures and its prevention is the biggest problem for nutritionists in the developing world today, according to Dr. Stanley Gershoff, nutrition professor at the Harvard School of Public Health. The professor-educator also listed vitamin A deficiency and nutritional anemia as enormous world problems. " But these are easier to attack and hopefully· can be overcome sooner than protein calorie malnutrition." One of our problems is recognizing malnutrition, according to Dr. Gershoff. "Even physicians don't recognize it, and political leaders don' t want to admit that it exists in their country." For example, six years ago in Thailand the leaders wouldn' t admit to the malnutrition problems. Two years later the Prime Minister for Health admitted the problem when he addressed a nutrition conference. Dr. Gershoff told the 200 people attending the lecture that people of the developing nations don't get enough protein. " Growing children can' t get enough calories from their carbohydrate diet to meet their demands. As a result about 50,000 to 60,000 children die each year from malnutrition. " The Harvard nutritionist pointed out, "Infant mortality rates look better. This may be because we have more hospitals around the world that are keeping kids from dying. " The many cultural taboos about food in some countries plus the poor infant-feeding practices make the work of nutritionists very difficult. Many ideas on feE'ding people are traditional and difficult to change. "Often preschool children don' t receive their fair share. Many mothers are only concerned about rice for her child. She ignores meat and vegetables which are important to the child's diet, " Dr. Gershoff said. P RoTEIN CALORIE MALNUTRITION 42 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The man of the family- who does manual labor - gets the major portion of the food . He needs it to survive on the job. Milk is a wonderful food but very often is not used properly. Often powdered milk goes unused because people have never seen it before. Dr. Gershoff believes the green revolution has been fairly successful in India in maintaining calorie levels. " We must encourage the consumption of legumes. " He stressed that money alone is not the answer to nutritional problems in the developing nations because people will buy consumer goods instead of food. "Educating people on nutrition is very difficult. We have enough trouble educating our people, not to mention those in developing countries. " It is difficult to see visible changes when you introduce nutrition changes in developing countries. It is a very slow process, but we are making some progress," Dr. Gershoff concluded. For some, obesity means not getting into the college of their choice. For others, it is social rejection. But because thinness in this country is equated to attractiveness, the consequences of obesity in the young are always conspicuous ones, reported Dr. Jean Mayer. He presented the eighth in a series of nutrition conferences sponsored by the department of biochemistry. Its single most important cause? A decrease of physical exercise, noted the professor of nutrition from Harvard School of Public Health. Front row: Raymond]. Germain, Samuel Sanes, Irving Wolf son, Richard G. Taylor, Harold H.

But almost any major metabolic disturbance will influence food intake in man whose system is also vulnerable to the neurologic/ psychologic ones as well. Little doubt remains among investigators that obesity is heavily conditioned by heredity. " If a child has one obese parent, the chances of his becoming so are 40 percent. And if both parents are, it jumps to 80 percent," he said. Alarming for him was that seven percent of all children who attend high school are obese. " TV watching has not helped them. They remain inactive." Studies revealed that environmental factors play a role in obesity as well. Although no link was found between money and obesity in a study of adults living in New York City, one was found to religion. " Among Lutherans the ratio of obesity was found to be three times greater than among Episcopalians, whatever that means," he said. In elaborate studies on hunger feelings/sensations he could point to many cases of psychogenic obesity. " Some who were under stress actually were hungry and then ate," he said. So enormous has been the neglect of obesity's effects on man that he sees a need to better define somatic intermediates. Even in experimental animals environment is linked to obesity. " While some strains of animals get fat on high fat diets, others, fed in exactly the same way, do not. " He found the same proportion of protein and fat in all types, however. So was the case found to be in man. But those who were overweight tended to nibble all of the time while more overweight women overate during evening hours and so inactive were most men that a little overeating leads to overweight. " One pound of fat adds up to 3,500 extra calories. And just 40 to 100 more calories a day than is burned up will add up to ten pounds of extra fat over a year's time," he cautioned. The message was loud and clear. " Increase activity or you will get fat. " 44 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Studies on those with thin, elongated figures revealed a wellregulated food intake. "They stay thin, tend to eat less," he said. But he found that mesomorphs on the other hand must depend on extra physical activity to keep their weights down. Large food intakes were not found to be the cause of obesity among girls studied on Cape Cod. Inactivity was. "It was more difficult to get them to exercise. And if they did, they exercised less," he reported. Even fatter babies did not eat more than thin ones. They were just more placid. Those who ate the most were the thin, elongated ones who cried a lot. "They increased their oxygen consumption enormously during their tantrums," he said. Chances of obese girls getting into the college of their choice were found to be a third less on interview while motivation among those who accepted discrimination accompanying their obese state led to their eating less and exercising. To medical students who would one day care for some of these "bruised persons," a plea to "treat them gently, lovingly, and not to make a bad situation worse." 0 In his unraveling of the metabolic pathways and physiology of adipose tissue Dr. Guillermo Herrera pointed to one of man's main problems, that of storing enough carbohydrates and protein for his energy use.

Fugitt, ]r. Helping him to adapt from an environment of plenty such as the sea to one of intermittancy as on land, has been a two-way pathway that allows the adipose tissue in mammals and man to both store and release needed energy. · "When there is no food intake," Dr. Herrera explained, "the level of glucose in the blood falls. This eventually signals adipose tissue, through levels of circulating insulin among other factors, to release fatty acids." Because birds can live off their adipose tissue, they are able to make their long flights, he explained. In citing a classic case of man during starvation, he pointed to his ability to become an efficient glucosesparing device. Over a 31-day period, his weight loss reached 17 kg. Although loss was fast at the beginning when he weighed 60 kg, it had slowed down by the time he reached 43 kg. But throughout his period of fasting, it was noted that he looked well although adipose tissue loss from abdomen and legs was obvious, and that his nitrogen levels checked out all right. In another study, glucose tolerance in the subject, after seven days of fasting, approached that of a diabetic patient. Studies to better understand the physiology of this glucose tolerance in a condition long known as starvation diabetes revealed the liver, during fasting, to consume but a fifth of the regular calories used during normal resting stage. "The liver," he said, "is unable to perform any net synthesis of glucose from fatty acids. However, amino-acids released from smaller molecules such as the muscle and peripheral tissues are converted by the liver into ketone bodies for energy use," the Harvard School of Public Health nutritionist concluded. 46 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Nutrition is first and foremost if dental caries are to be prevented, according to Dr. Robert Glass, a nutrition expert from the Harvard School of Public Health. "We would be remiss if fluoridation was not properly stressed. It is essential to use fluoride as a nutrient during the formative stages of teeth." Speaking at the Nutrition Conference, the Harvard educator pointed out that you can get fluoride not only from water but also from eating fish, taking a pill, or a vitamin supplement. "If dental caries were as simple as many people would have us believe we would have solved the problem years ago without spending millions of dollars on research. "In spite of what you hear, dental caries are not on the increase. But it is a very complex disease, and may be several diseases. Nutrition is not the only factor involved, but nutrition plays an important part," the Harvard dental educator said. "Tooth decay is one of our most prevalent diseases, but it doesn't kill anyone. It has been going on for centuries and is largely preventable. But we haven't concentrated on prevention." Last year the United States public spent $5 billion on dental treatment even though only one-half of our population visited a dentist once a year. Based on current statistics, dentistry could become a $10 or $20 billion business. "Plaque can be controlled by good oral hygiene.

Class of 1950 at Spring Clinical Days �ficult as changing one's religion. More research and development in the creation of non-cariogenic foods may be the answer. We must consider sugar substitutes, combined with artifical sweeteners or the use of additives that reduce highly refined carbohydrates and sugars present in foods." Dr. Glass told his audience, "eating large amounts of sugar can increase the dental caries incidence. But there is also a great deal of epidemiological evidence to indicate that this is not necessarily so. It depends on the physical form in which it is eaten, the other ingredients of the food with which it is compounded, the amount eaten, the frequency with which it is eaten and other circumstances." Dr. Glass mentioned four clinical studies: institutional studies where the diets were specifically modified; pre-school and school populations where subjects were compared to sugar consumption and caries prevalence; population comparison during periods when normal diet was disturbed during war time; comparison of primitive people prior to and after adoption of highly refined civilized diets. It is the frequency that sugar is eaten more than the amount. Refined cooked cereals tend to show an increase in caries. There was a decrease in caries when fish was eaten rather than meat. "Sweets consumed between meals are generally eaten slowly, devoid of other foods and allowed to dissolve before being swallowed. This permits longer contact with the teeth. "The relationship between reduced caries and wartime reduction in refined carbohydrates has been documented by studies done in England, Japan, Norway and many other countries." Dr. Glass made several other observations: -not everyone who eats large amounts of carbohydrates gets caries. -we have seen people with no caries who never owned a toothbrush. -plaque is a storehouse for bacteria, carbohydrates and recentlyeaten food. -the association between sugar and caries has been known and written about for years. -restrict sugar and sugar-containing products from between meal eating. -avoid all sticky and slow-dissolving sweets. -liquid sweets are less damaging to teeth than solids. -sugar in moderation at mealtimes should not be prohibited as long as all nutritional requirements are satisfied. Dr. Glass concluded, " Except for emotional, personal and social issues one wonders why we don' t have universal fluoridation because there are so many benefits. Universal fluoridation over a lifetime would make a tremendous impact on the practice of dentistry." 'Oddball' diets are popular because people like to believe in magic, according to Dr. Frederick J. Stare, professor and head of the department of nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health. He presented the 12th and final nutrition conference lecture sponsored by the biochemistry department. 48 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"Food fadism is filled with high profits. For example there is a lot of profit in such health foods as sea water and sea salt, " he said. Dr. Stare also took a verbal punch at the con-artists - the quacks and the charlatans who promote questionable diets. " These people must be named so innocent people won't follow their silly diets. " The Harvard educator stressed education of all ages starting with kindergartners as the most effective means of combating quackery and food fadism. Dr. Stare believes people fall for 'oddball' diets because of the fear of ill health, emotional insecurity, and food fadism is easy and doesn ' t cost much. (You don't have to wait in line to see a doctor.) "One of the worst of 'oddball' diets was responsible for at least 10 deaths. It was an oriental hocus-pocus - Zen Macrobiotic Dietbased on a 7-stage brown rice diet. You start with a balanced diet of chicken, vegetables, fruit, yoghurt and brown rice. In the second stage you drop the chicken, the third the fruit, the fourth the vegetables until you were down to brown rice and one pint of water a day ." Dr. Stare mentioned several other popular diets. All are based on ~ two or three foods. "The Mayo diet- bacon, grapefruit and eggs. These are good foods but by themselves they don ' t provide good nutrition. After eating this for two or three days you tire of it and won ' t eat- so you lose five or 10 pounds. But you crave other foods and the minute you go off the diet you eat so much of other foods that you soon regain the weight. " The all-meat diets (also known as Red Book, Holiday, Rockefeller) had similar results. After eating nothing but meat for three days you tire of it and your calorie intake is down to about 500 a day. You drop 10 pounds. "Then there is the 'minus calorie' diet that some faraway physician in Europe or South America recommends . This diet is based on a few foods that take more calories to consume. For example an egg is 50-75 calories, but it burns up 100 calories to consume it- so you are ahead 25 or 50 calories." Dr. Stare pointed out that nutrition is young in the history of science. During its development (1835) scientists changed the singular noun ' nutrient' to a plural noun 'nutrients.' Five years later an English chemist separated foods into three general entities - albumin, fat, and sugar. About the same time an Italian scientist tried to make food by n.ixing olive oil, honey and curd of milk. They fed it to small dogs, but the animals did not do too well. A few years later ashes were added to this mixture and the dogs did better. This proved there should be mineral matter in food. Around 1900 ' accessory growth factors ' (milk, yeast, liver, rice polishings) were added and the animals did even better. A Polish chemist (1912) coined the word ' vitamins.' He isolated accessory growth factors. He thought they had characteristics of compounds and called them 'amens.' Because they were so vital to growth, he called them ' vitamens.' Several years later (1916) scientists changed the 'e' to ' i' and vitamin was a new word to our language. "Today there are 50 known nutrients, all chemical, and when mixed together make a good synthetic diet. It is good for dogs. The purified diets are good for human infants and they thrive on it. No single food contains all of these 50 nutrients. There is no such thing as a perfect food - even human milk is not the perfect food ," Dr. Stare said. d- FALL, 1975 49 Or. Stare, who helped to plan the nutrition series sponsored by the biochemistry department, gave the 11th and final lecture. �"Health foods are those that promote health or are conducive to it. All edible foods are health foods and promote physiologic or psychologic health, regardless of whether they are purchased in a neighborhood grocery store, a supermarket, or a so-called health food store. "There is no difference in nutritive value between organically grown food and food grown with the aid of chemical fertilizers and chemical pesticides. This has been known by nutritional and soil scientists for many years and has been thoroughly researched. " Fertilization, regardless of the type, does not influence the nutrient or mineral composition of the plant in regard to its content of protein, fat, carbohydrate or various vitamins . These nutrients are influenced primarily by genetic composition of the seed and the maturity of the plant at the time of harvest." In conclusion, Dr. Stare pointed out that eating is emotional and one of the pleasures of life. "What would a manhattan be without a cherry, a martini without an olive, or a gibson without an onion?" 0 Nutrition Courses Dr. D.M. Surgenor believes the University should offer courses to provide students with a basic understanding of the principles of nutrition . The Nutrition Conference director and professor of biochemistry listed four basic areas of concern: personal nutrition, clinical nutrition, scientific nutrition, and population nutrition. Personal nutrition - "Students want to know the basis of the relationship between diet and health. They are interested in how food choices and eating patterns affect them as individuals. They want to deal intelligently with obesity, vitamin supplementation, and the so-called natural foods, with vegetarianism and the constant sequence of fads in foods. " Clinical nutrition - "Health sciences students need to be provided with a basis for dealing professionally with patients. Patients may present problems in which nutrition is an important or even a dominant component. Health sciences students must make the transition back and forth repeatedly throughout their careers between the body of science they have mastered and the food habits of their patients. " Scientific nutrition - "This area relates to digestion , absorption and the metabolism of foods . This is where nutrition achieves its greatest respectability within the academic community. This is where nutrition made its great discoveries in the past (vitamins, essential amino acids, role of minerals in metabolism, and of the antimetabolite drugs which are so useful in therapy .) This is the area where the great nutritionists won their Nobel Prizes. " Population nutrition - " As its name implies, this area deals with the nutritional needs of whole populations. It becomes involved with relationships between nutritional and related factors such as food supply, economics, and environmental sciences. Population nutrition is interdisciplinary and requires diverse expertise that only a large university community can bring to bear. " 50 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Twelve medical faculty- all will have reached age 70 if not more when they retire on the last day of August- have collectively served U/ B a total of 327 years.

Dr. Louis Judelsohn, born in London, England, graduated from Albany Medical College (MD '28), completed an internship at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital, a residency in pediatrics at Children's Hospital and postgraduate training in Miami Beach. His University pediatrics appointment- he joined in 1930 - was interrupted by three years of service in the European Theater during World War II for which he was cited. The clinical associate prdessor who directed Pediatrics of Mother/ Child Care Center at 2211 Main Street, is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the AMA, and the American Public Health Association. Australian-born and educated Dr. Eccles joined the physiology and biophysics faculty in 1968 as a distinguished professor and head of the Center for Study of Neurobiology. He received an MD and BS degree with honors (1925) from Melbourne University, a Doctor of Science degree from Cambridge in 1960 and while a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford under Sir Charles Sherrington was introduced to the scientific examination of the nervous system. He later derived a philosophic approach to problems relating to it from the famed Nobel Laureate as well as a better understanding of the way in which the brain is related to mind. From analytical studies to individual nerve cells, Dr. Eccles developed theories on how they function, the means by which impulses are passed from one cell to another, and the manner of the interconnection . d- FALL, 1975 51 12 Faculty Retire Three Medical School faculty members were among seven honored at a special Commencement Luncheon May 18.

In the fifth annual Ernest Witebsky Memorial Lecturer's overview on the biology of natural transplantation and allografts, he centered on one of nature's most successful, that of the fetus. But because the fetus needs no immunosuppressants nor is it rejected in an immunological way, he quickly dispelled any belief that this was the whole story. "Some kind of protection by a cell-mediated reaction, some kind of blocking antigen from the mother protects the fetus, " he said. But the mother is confronted with foreign tissue transplantation antigens, he explained. In tracing several levels of antibody immunologic reactivity where the mother can get into trouble, the professor and chairman of cell biology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School at Dallas pointed to the chorio-decidual junction where the possibility of leakage across the placenta can reach the fetus. From a wide-range of experiments with animals as well as man, he pointed to evidence for: an expression of transplantation antigens in embryos at a very early stage; antibody association with fetus and not with maternal tissue sites; that a layer of fetal trophoblastic tissue in some species of animals and in man can produce several hormones which may interfere with cellular immunity; an association of immunological response by the female against the tissue antigen of the fetus with some kind of blocking antibody or mechanism such as fetal protein that helps protect the fetus; that the uterus is efficiently used for transplantation immunology of the allograft. But he quickly dispelled the notion that transplantation immunology can be used to check the population explosion. "The best you can get," Dr. Billingham warned, "is what you don' t want, that of heightened fertility." He found the uterus to be as efficient a route in helping transplantation immunity with experimental grafts as any other known site. But when it was confronted with allografts, not only did he find the immunogenetic alien fetal placental un't to be completely undaunted by transplantation immunity but that it benefited from it. "We get larger fetuses with prior immunization," he said. In studies on many children with graft versus host disease (GHD) of natural origin, it was learned that immunocompetence to transplantation antigen is acquired long before birth as though "immunologic fingers can reach out and damage us before we see the light of day, " he quoted from a sonnet. In Dr. Billingham's mind, there is no question that immunoregulation is important in mammalian gestation or that specifically-immune effector lymphocytes cross the placenta more easily than unactivated ones. The Achilles Heel, he found in his experiments, may not be at the level of the placenta but at birth, when GHD can start in the fetus. Still another example he presented of natural transplantation in mammals was that of mother's milk. In experiments with mice, he found immunocompetent lymphocytes in milk which are transferred naturally to the newborn infant. "This can be a basis for an immune reaction, " he said.

Class of 1965 at Spring Clinical Days �A Physician Faces Disseminated Reticulum Cell Sarcoma in Himself Part V Response of Readers by Letter to Dr. Samuel Sanes' Series The Editors of The Buffalo Physician *Denotes excerpts from letters by individual writers. The series of four articles by Dr. Samuel Sanes in The Buffalo Physician, which ended for the present with the Summer 1975 issue, has evoked widespread response among our readers. To date Dr. Sanes has received more than 100 letters from 17 states and two foreign countries. The majority of the writers were physicians, colleagues, and former students representing 24 branches of practice. They ranged from interns to retirees. But non-physicians, some of whom have never met Dr. Sanes, responded too. Some receive The Buffalo Physician as members of the faculty or staff of the School of Medicine. Others - professional workers and lay volunteers - received copies of the first article duplicated by the New York State Division of the American Cancer Society and distributed to its central office and 54 upstate county units. Still others saw one or more copies of The Buffalo Physician in the office or home of a U/B medical alumnus, in a health care facility or other site to which the journal is distributed. Among them were physicians' wives, registered nurses, members of the religious community and lay persons, including cancer patients and their families. One physician made each article "required reading for my wife, good friends and office helpers." Several physicians prescribed Dr. Sanes' first article to cancer patients who needed mental and emotional help. At least two are considering use of the articles as a teaching source at medical schools outside Buffalo. The letters have been supportive and encouraging to Dr. Sanes as a cancer patient. But even more than that they have gratified him as a writer and a teacher of 40 years. In writing the series, Dr. Sanes has addressed himself primarily to what cancer of a particular type and stage (disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma) can mean to a particular patient (himself) mentally and emotionally as well as physically. It has not been his intention to speak for all cancer patients. He has told his own story, wondering whether other physicians and medical students who have not experienced cancer or any other chronic "incurable" disease personally might draw some insights from it in regard to themselves as potential cancer victims and in their relationships to patients, relatives, professional colleagues, co-workers, and friends afflicted with cancer, especially active, disseminated disease. The response to the series indicates that Dr. Sanes' experiences, observations, and reactions struck a common note beyond anything that he had anticipated. As editors of The Buffalo Physician we feel that the response fortifies the series and that our readers will be interested in looking over Dr. Sanes' shoulder as he reads his letters. We have therefore asked him to let us publish excerpts from some of them. Those which have been selected are used with permission of the writers. Obviously space limitations prevent publishing excerpts from all. Some, that have been omitted, were of an especially personal. intimate nature. One way of looking at major diseases in the lymphoma-leukemia group historically is through the origins of the names most frequently used for them today in the United States of America (photos). 58 Excerpts from Letters from Physicians Comments on general approach and style of articles *Sam, I read your [first) article. It is an honest, clear, human article, full of character ... guide for the perplexed. *You ... demonstrate a deep insight into human nature and response to disease. *I much admire the tone of your [second] article and the vigor with which you present it. *You do approach your affliction with a natural emotionalism tempered by intellectual insight. *I just read your third installment. I was very, very, very moved by it- by the content, of course, but also by the dramatic and understated way in which you wrote it. *I am writing to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your [first] article, how much I sympathize with you in your illness and how greatly I admire the honesty with which you face your problem. The concept of a pathologist describing the course of his own disease is less disturbing than it is original. Your expression of deeply personal emotion is compelling, devastating. Comments on validity and relevance of content for medical teaching and practice *I feel that the article [first) should be required reading for every medical student about to enter practice. *What you write about is so important to understand, especially for physicians. *I read your case history [first article] and was most impressed with it ... It is too bad many physicians don't have a chance to have a little insight sometimes about the thinking of their patients ... In a very thoughtfu·l and generous fashion you have provided an opportunity for them through this mechanism. *I am glad that you chose to communicate your experience to us in order to help us treat our patients with more understanding. *I can only agree with you ... the need for more empathy and sharing of concern that makes up the practice of medicine as it was taught to me ... (35 years ago.] I am constantly amazed at what little human rapport surgeons seem to have that reassures or strengthens the patient. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �*The other day I [not a UB medical alumnus] received a copy of The Buffalo Physician with the (second] article you had written about reactions of yourself (and notably others as well) to your illness. Few can confront it so squarely and so perceptively. I found [the article] both interesting and helpful to me in my area of work in psychological reactions and problems in adjustment to cancer. Could you arrange for the other articles to be sent to me? *I entered the private practice of medicine here about three months agohematology-oncology. An old Buffalo colleague contacted me and we had a nice chat. He informed me of your illness and kindly showed me his copy of The Buffalo Physician. I have had a chance to read your Part II and hope that I can obtain all of your writings about your disease and how you faced it. I have been dealing with similar problems every day for the past two and a half years and certainly appreciate your observations. *Thank you for writing in The Buffalo Physician . I work with lymphomas much of my waking hours and you still have much to teach me . . . Again thanks. *There was added reason to think of you within the past week. I stumbled into a diagnosis of multiple myeloma. There were so many telephone calls about a 66-year-old man 's backache that I admitted him to the hospital. The routine lab work showed a hemoglobin 9 gms. , total protein 12.1 gms., of which globulin was 9.8 gms . . . . " sternal marrow" confirmed the diagnosis and he's now having a nice response to [chemo- and steroid] therapy. *Well, seven months down in the internship program . . . This year has ?een very rewarding, too, in my trainmg to deal with patients who are dying and in relating and empathizing with both them and their families .. . I fully realize how woefully inadequate medical school is in preparing one to face these situations - not only in the sense that my own feeling of inadequacy must be dealt with but also in the sense that I have to in some way engender confidence in a patient who knows there is no hope and is in the hospital to die ... The experience was made devastatingly clear to me when during December [1974] I had as a patient my chief resident who died in less than three weeks of acute myeloblastic leukemia. He was only 30 Comments from physicians after the third article on response of physicians to professional colleagues and coworkers with disseminated cancer *I must have been lost for one and a half years. The first time I heard about your sarcoma was your article. After reading all the "woulds" and " would nots " I still don ' t know what to say. *. .. As I reread your third article, I grew nervous about the " woulds" and " would nots " of responding to patients with disseminated cancer. Of how many responses had I been guilty? You really are rather hard on your friends and acquaintances. How can they possibly know (before they read your articles) what approach you would most appreciate? I doubt whether many patients care to be or could be as candid and receptive as you. I know that I could not. And those who have reacted to you in various ways you describe are probably putting themselves in your place and reacting as they would want others to react to them. *I have been interested in all of your articles. It seems to me that the first two were particularly valuable to me as a physician and the [third] to me as a human being . It is my feeling that I have given too high a place to avoiding invading the ill person 's privacy but I am still thinking about it which I suppose is one thing you want. In any event the articles have made me make some MYCOSIS FUNGO/DES - Alibert's disease (skir1 ulcers): In 1806, Jean Louis A Iibert (1768 - 1837 Paris) first described the disease.

It is, however, very difficult to convey one's concern to relative strangers. *I think your articles ... will have a profound effect on some of your readers (if they have the capacity to be open to your concepts.) It involves being at ease with our humanity, I think, and it seems a lot of doctors deny their humanity more so than other classes of people I encounter. *Sam, I read all your thoughts and felt much of the anguish as you related your feelings . Would that we understood without such a gentle reminder. Comments from a physician after the fourth article on "Faith and Prayer" *Last night the stra-a-angest thing happened to me! I awoke at 4 AM, sat on the side of the bed and said a prayer for you. It didn't even seem ridiculous. What would be more incongruous would be my failure to let you know that this happened, Sam . .. Naturally this note is prompted by my just having read your #4 in The Buffalo Physician ... As a relatively non-religious man who usually sleeps pretty well I cannot promise how often I shall awaken at 4 AM to pray for you in the future, but if I miss one or two nights, please accept my apologies. Comments from a physician who had to cope with tuberculosis as a medical student and young doctor before the era of antibiotic and chemotherapy *I wanted to read all three articles before writing. And I am glad that I did. The initial shock of your diagnosis has been replaced by ... increased respect for your understanding, empathy and insight. I had tuberculosis in the late thirties and early forties . I learned from this experience many of the insights you make reference to in your articles. From that difficult time for me I would recall two names, perhaps familiar to you , who were teachers by example- Dr. Nelson G. Russell Sr. for his understanding, patience and willingness to explain (particularly to my bewildered parents) and Dr. Horace LoGrasso of Perrysburg for his practical optimism at the right time.

Comments from physicians who are cancer patients under treatment and/ or follow-up observation *I have read with great interest and benefit your recent articles. Recently a diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma was made in me and your articles have helped me to cope with the problem. I am still adjusting. But I wanted to say " Thank you" for the help you have extended me in the past several months. Once again " Thank you. " [In a subsequent letter] If all goes well I hope to be discharged from the hospital this week. The past three and a half months have been arduous. I can only hope that the lengthy confinement has contributed to my growth and development as a person. Patience and trying to learn to live each day for itself is a difficult lesson. Some of your philosophy - not as well expressed as you have done - was expressed in a recently published book, " Not Alone With Cancer. " [In a third letter] It seems as though my energy is channeled into getting up each day and going into the office. After four or five hours I return home ex- hausted. But I'm grateful that I can work .. . I know that the constant discomfort and the intermittent pain contribute to this energy drain .. . [Also chemotherapy] ... I'm not complaining, " just bitching, " as my oncologist says. *I have read your [first] article many times already. The similarities between us are striking and I can sincerely empathize. I too have nervously palpated my body in search of lymph nodes. I too have been nauseated and hairless from radiation. I knew the fears, frustrations and anxieties that you describe. But I share your optimism and attitude. With the assurance of our families and friends and the help of our doctors we must continue to live each day as fully as we can, trying not to let our disease alter our plans and operations. I am approaching my fourth diseasefree " birthday, " an important milestone in the course of Hodgkin's Disease. My experience is three years greater than yours so I can advise you with confidence that time does in fact continue to neutralize fears. I think of you very often and pray for your continued health. Comments from physicians who think of themselves as possibly developing cancer some day. *I often wonder if the same objectivity would be visited upon me in similar · circumstance. *Although it is a subject I have considered seriously I know that one cannot anticipate the actuality. But I do know when it arrives one can be helped by the recollection of your experiences. Your writing of your experiences makes me readier to face them if I must. Thank you for the candor and courage it took to put them down in black and white. Excerpts from Letters from Non-Physicians From executive director of county unit - American Cancer Society *I read your [first] article with a great deal of interest and concern and I feel that through your insight families and friends of cancer patients will be given first-hand information as to the depth of feeling a particular person may encounter in different stages in endeavoring to accept and live with the diagnosis.

You have certainly said a lot of things that many, many doctors andespecially those going into the profession now need to hear and especially from another physician . Even many doctors who have been practicing a long time . . . could stand the lessons if they 1vould but listen. A principal reason for keeping my care at - - - - Medical Center aside from Dr. - - - -'s capabilities in dealing with [my type of lymphoma] is his " empathic" approach to me as a patient.

The night before the biopsy the two principal residents, one a female, . . . came in and said I'd be seen by a hematologist the next day since I had [a type of disseminated lymphoma] .

And I said " Just like that, huh?" and they said " Yes" and went out. I was, of course, alone ... but I was stunned for a while at all this and on reflection that it had been done by two residents and not even a staff doctor. After a bit I went down the hall to the area where the residents write up their charts and asked the male resident to come out and I asked him if he really thought this was the way to tell the patient a diagnosis of cancer. He was very apologetic, said he realized immediately it had been wrong. Lucky for him I didn' t get hysterical or even cry at this point. .. [Are we] ... helpless ... to rectify these attitudes in this brave new world of scientific medicine? I've written this at length to you, as if this can happen to a patient like me, supposedly knowledgeable, what happens to patients who wouldn ' t know what [type of disseminated lymphoma] means?

(Yes, I read Articles I and II also). My interest in your articles is both personal and professional. . .. As a public health nurse [my) emphasis is to assist patients and families to increase their abilities to handle their own problems .. . It has been very hard for me to understand why patients and their families are helped so little when cancer is the diagnosis. I find myself frequently in waiting rooms and on hospital wards talking with patients hungry for information, for a chance to ask questions, fearful of what they need to face and fearful of rejection. In your third article I was very happy to note some common sense approaches for dealing with patients. I have two questions to put to you . (1) Since it is my observation that frequently a family member needs more help than a patient, I wonder why you do not discuss this? (2) The [local] branch of the American Cancer Society is currently on a small project ... Funds were initially left by a cancer patient who learned the value of patients talking with patients ... <jreas that must be considered in helping patients learn to help other patients . My question is : Would you permit reprint for use with doctors and other health personnel to help them understand some of the areas you describe so well? I am still attempting to work in my position . .. I hope to retire soon to spend whatever time I have left in working toward improved service to patients who have a diagnosis of cancer. [In a second letter]: I am glad to be off chemotherapy for a while. It made me feel like a " professional patient" besides which I felt lousy most of the time. However, looking back on that phase of treatment, I realize it was a helpful experience in dealing with others undergoing treatment. I can better now help them see that there is a " light at the end of the tunnel. " After the drug is out of the system there is also some physical and mental renewal. I am looking forward to your article on " mutuality" ... the local unit of the Cancer Society is making generous use of all the practical things in the previous articles .

So far I hadn' t needed to face up to these matters and was not anxious to do so ... You were most fortunate to have a few friends in those first few days and weeks who could appreciate what you were going through.

The series has been an eye opener pointing quite clearly to the unappreciative eye of the non-sufferer to the sufferer. Intellectual understanding is nothing to the gut feeling . "I am writing to let you know that your articles have had an impact on me. It seems that our society has isolated illness and death so much that we are in danger of missing the point of life. An admired classmate of mine died in the fall and my father, who was living with us, died this December. I was depressed and upset more than I would have anticipated , but I hope these experiences have left me with a more realistic point of view. In particular I hope I'll have the strength of character in the future to be able to approach a person who has been bereaved or one with a serious illness and to focus long enough to give a little of my real self.

FALL, 1975 63 �Dr. Kinnard Named BGH President Dr. Kinnard Dr. William V. Kinnard, associate director for professional affairs and medical director at the Albany Medical Center Hospital, will become president of The Buffalo General Hospital "no later than September 1st," it was announced today by RobertS. Scheu, chairman of the Board of Trustees at Buffalo General. Dr. Kinnard, 44, will succeed Dr. Theodore T. Jacobs, who has been the chief executive officer at Buffalo's largest voluntary, nonprofit hospital since January 1, 1971. Mr. Scheu said Dr. Jacobs, 63, had requested last summer that the Board of Trustees begin a search for his successor in order to accomplish a timely and orderly changeover in the directorship of the hospital which, including its Community Mental Health Center, has a total of 749 beds. Dr. Jacobs said it was important that his successor be here well before the start of the construction phase of the hospital's planned modernization program, expected to begin sometime in 1976, and in time to become involved in the continuing negotiations with the State University of Buffalo over a formal affiliation agreement between the hospital and the university's medical school. Mr. Scheu said Dr. Jacobs " will continue at the hospital for a period of time following Dr. Kinnard's arrival to provide a smooth transition in the hospital's administration." Dr. Kinnard, who has held the number two administrative position at the 800-bed Albany hospital since 1968, is staying on there long enough to allow a similarly smooth changeover at that institution. Dr. Kinnard graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont in 1952, received his medical degree from Albany Medical College in 1956, and studied management at lhe Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute- Graduate School of Management (Troy, N.Y.) in 1968. Dr. Kinnard served his medical internship at the Albany Medical Center Hospital from 1956 to 1957, spent the next two years as a general medical officer in the United States Navy, and then returned to the Albany Medical Center for three years of residency in internal medicine and cardiology. Upon completing his residency he entered private practice in Great Barrington, Mass. In 1964, he accepted an offer to return to the Albany Medical Center Hospital in an administrative position, as director of house staff education for more than 150 interns and residents. He became an assistant director of the hospital in 1966 and was promoted to the second ranking administrative position, as associate director, in 1968. As such, he carried administrative responsibility for all operating divisions of the hospital except the fiscal division. In 1973 he assumed the title of associate director for professional affairs and medical director, and since that time has concentrated his efforts in providing administrative liaison with the hospital's large medical staff, its clinical departments and the Albany Medical College. Mr. Scheu said " Dr. Kinnard has experience which makes him especially well qualified to assume the administrator's position at The Buffalo General Hospital at this time." He pointed out that Dr. Kinnard had coordinated the planning for an eight-story addition to the Albany hospital which was opened last year. He said this experience would be of 64 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �great benefit to Buffalo General in carrying out its own modernization program. He said Dr. Kinnard 's background in handling hospitaluniversity relations would be helpful to Buffalo General in its ongoing negotiations of an affiliation agreement formalizing the U/ B's longstanding medical teaching programs at the High Street hospital. Dr. Kinnard is presently a clinical assistant in the department of medicine at the Albany Medical College, chairman of the professional affairs committee of the Hospital Association of New York State, and is a member of the board of directors of Blue Cross of Northeastern New York, as well as a member of many other professional and civic organizations. He is married to the former Margaret Williamson and the couple has three teenage children. Dr. Jacobs joined the administration of Buffalo General as associate director in 1962 after serving as director of its outpatient department and house staff education for three years. He was promoted to the position of director upon the retirement of the late Rudolf G. Hils in January of 1971. His title was changed to president in February of 1972 when the hospital's by-laws were amended to recognize the changed role and increased authority of the hospital's administrators .

Golden, M.D. '46 Preside nt , Medi cal Alumni Association Ways to Support There are many ways that alumni can support their alma mater. Traditionally, financial contributions have been and still are most desirable. I leave it to the professional fund raiser how to stimulate more alumni giving. The tax deduction argument is no longer as convincing as it was particularly since a host of rivals that don't start out with a state base can be shown to be equally worthwhile recipients. As University of Buffalo Medical Alumni, we long have exercis~d an exceptional means of support to our school by participation in ItS educational processes. Some physicians make the contribution ~ 0 training students in the pre-clinical years; for most doctors teaching IS done duri~ the clinical years in the university's affiliated hospitals. It would be very interesting to know how many man hours are spent each year by medical alumni teaching medical students. The scope from freshman courses in physical skills through senior electives in the varying subspecialty areas is wide. The particular manner of teaching by clinicians as they practice their skills is a unique way of contributing their special talents to students' education. It would be as difficult to estimate the costs of these programs as it would be to attempt to gauge the reciprocal benefits to those so involved in the teaching. Nonetheless, it is a contribution that must be acknowledged by all since it represents one of the major strengths of this Medical School. It is a significant reminder to the administration that the alumni of the University of Buffalo have always supported their school in a meaningful manner by participating heavily in the teaching of its medical students, particularly during the clinical years. 0 �Winter 1973 Volume 7, Number 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN Published by the School of Medicine, State Unit·ersity of New York at Buffalo IN THIS ISSUE EDITORIAL BOARD RoBERT EditO?' 2 Managing Editor 9 10 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 20 21 22 23 24 26 27 28 31 32 36 39 40 41 42 45 46 48 49 50 53 54 55 56 57 58 61 62 64 67 70 72 s.

Souther, M.D. Dr. Souther is a 1967 graduate of the SU YAB Medical School. He completed a Halsted surgery internship at Johns Hopkins (1967-69), was clinical associate at the NIH Heart and Lung Institute from 1969 to 1971, and is now enrolled in the residency program in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Stanford University Medical Center. He is spending six months of this program at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. 0 The restoration of a traumatically amputated arm, hand, finger, leg or foot has been a goal of surgeons for more than a century but only within the past two decades has this goal, now known as replantation, been achieved. The initial successes both in experimental animals and in man were scored in the United States but shortly thereafter trickles of information from the People's Republic of China suggested that a considerable body of experience and degree of success were being achieved in that country. Prior to ceasing publication during the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in 1966 the Chinese Medical Journal published articles by Chinese surgeons reporting far greater success in replantation than had been achieved by surgeons in the rest of the world. These reports were substantiated by Mr. J. S. Horn, an English surgeon who practiced in China for many years following the Liberation and rise of Mao Tsetung in 1949. In a book, Away With All Pests, published in 1969 Mr. Horn lauded the interest, dedication, and success of Chinese surgeons in replantation. Many surgeons interested in replantation and microsurgery were curious about the Chinese experience. Shortly after I entered the residency program in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Stanford University Medical Center in July 1971, Dr. Donald Laub, chief of the division of plastic and reconstructive surgery, and Dr. Harry Bunke, a pioneer in the development of microsurgery, began to discuss the possibility of visiting the People's Republic of China to see the techniques and results of the Chinese replantation surgeons. My own interest in microsurgery had developed while I was a Clinical Associate at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland and I was invited to become a member of a group of surgeons interested in visiting the People's Republic of China. The idea for this visit, born in a telephone conversation and developed in two years of work and correspondence, came to fruition on October 10, 1972 when the following letter was received from the Chinese Medical Association. We learn from your letter to Brigadier General Tkach that nine North American Surgeons would like to visit China. In order to promote friendship and exchange experiences between physicians of our two countries, we heartily welcome a friendly visit to China by the nine North American Replantation Surgeons sponsored by you in the first half of 1973. The date of the visit and other details will be settled later. Thus on May 15, 1973 ten surgeons (Table 1) from the United States and Canada, known as the North American Replantation Mission, entered the People's Republic of China as guests of the Chinese Medical Association. Our group spent 19 days in the People's Republic of China, stopping in Canton, Hangchow, Shanghai, and Peking. The greatest emphasis and bulk of our time was given to replantation and reconstructive surgery but we also saw techniques in burn care, acupuncture, and traditional Chinese medicine. In addition, we toured factories and communes, attended cultural performances, and saw many beautiful sights such as West Lake, the Forbidden City, the Sum·mer Palace, the Ming Tombs, and the Great Wall. We visited many hospitals and medical schools and talked with 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �surgeons from several others (Table · 2). Our hosts and colleagues were courteous, friendly, and warm. Usually mornings were devoted to presentations by the Chinese. They described and demonstrated their techniques, results, patients, and frank discussions followed. Afternoons were usually devoted to presentations by our group. We demonstrated microsurgical equipment and techniques and lectured on some of our experiences. At times, additional discussions were held in the evening. Excluding political considerations, my overwhelming impression was one of the great similarity between ourselves and our Chinese colleagues. I hesitate to generalize further for a trip such as ours hardly provides a firm basis for speaking in an authoritative manner. First, our trip would be analagous to that of a group visiting the United States for the first time, spending 19 days in Boston, New York, Washington, and Cleveland, and then attempting to generalize about our country, way of life, and system of medicine. Second, each one in our group was a physician and none had particular political, educational, or social expertise in China and its people. Third, language was a tremendous barrier for, although many of the Chinese physicians we met spoke excellent English, we otherwise relied on a single interpreter who traveled with us at all times. He performed faultlessly but the logistics of channeling the questions of ten eager minds through a single outlet were at times difficult. Therefore I would like to confine this discussion to the subject of replantation, the primary purpose of our visit. The longest and largest experience in replantation has been at the No.6 People's Hospital of Shanghai. There, Dr. Chen Chung-weiand his colleagues have performed replantation in 94 patients with severed limbs and 151 patients with severed digits. The survival rate for severed limbs was 84% and for severed digits 56%. The results were evaluat~d according to the ability of the patient to return to work. A good result indicated that the patient returned to his original job. A fair result indicated partial restoration and a change of job was necessary. A poor result indicated insufficient recovery of function to return to work. In the 62 patients with limb replantation who have been followed for more than one year, 66% had a good result, 24% had a fair result, and 10% had a poor result. Similar data for the finger replantations were not available. From laboratory experience and experience with 245 clinical cases, certain fundamental principles have evolved. The general condition of the patient must first be stabilized; shock and injuries to vital structures must have priority before replantation is attempted. Injuries resulting from explosion, extensive and severe compression, and severe burn are relative contraindications to replantation. Lacerations even involving more than one level are more favorable to successful replantation. The duration of ischemia is important but does not represent an absolute contraindication to replantation. Since 1966, the duration of ischemia in 23 cases was six to ten hours and in 14 cases was greater than ten hours. Among the latter group, four patients were successfully operated upon 24, 30, 31, and 36 hours following amputation. In 25 of the 37 cases with prolonged ischemia the limb survived. Cooling of the amputated limb is recommended. In the laboratory the severed legs of dogs have been successfully replanted up to 108 hour& WINTER, 1973 3 Dr. Souther �following amputation by perfusing the amputated leg with heparinized saline and storing it at 4° C. Progressive swelling of the replanted limb is one of the greatest threats to its survival. Methods to diminish this complication include the anastamosis of more veins than arteries, usually in a ratio oftwo to one if possible; thorough debridement and elimination of infection; fasciotomy; and proper dressing and positioning of the limb. In the management of the severed limb, the following approach is used. The patient is thoroughly evaluated and life-threatening problems are treated. Following stabilization of the patient anesthesia is induced. Epidural block is favored and was used in 69 of 94 cases but brachial plexus block and general anesthesia are also used. Under tourniquet control thorough and meticulous debridement is carried FOURTH INTERNATIONAL out. The circulation of the amputated part is evaluated by flushing the CONVOCATION ON vascular tree with heparinized saline. The bones are shortened as IMMUNOLOGY much as is necessary to achieve the anastamosis of nerves without tension. The amount of shortening averaged 6.8 em.; the most was 18 School of Medicine em. Internal fixation is used. As many vessels as possible are sutured and but more veins than arteries ar~;J anastamosed if possible in order to maintain adequate drainage. Veins are joined before arteries unless Center for Immunology the duration of ischemia has been prolonged. Vein grafts are frequently used. Primary repair of muscles, tendons, and nerves is June 3-6, 1974 carried out as much as possible. Skin coverage by split thickness grafts or flaps is carried out. Postoperative care includes the restoraon tion of blood volume, special nursing care with close observation and isolation, and monitoring of skin temperature. Spasm of vessels is The Immune System treated by sympathetic block, conventional drugs, traditional Chinese and Infectious Diseases herbs, acupuncture, and occasionally hyperbaric oxygen. Fasciotomy is used when swelling is severe and rapid control of local infection is - maturation of the accomplished by debridement and local care. The contraindications to replantation of severed fingers are immune system relatively more specific. Included are severe systemic disease, multi- microbiologic agents as ple fractures or severe soft tissue injury, improper management of the immunosuppressants severed part prior to arrival at the hospital, an ischemic interval of and adjuvants more than ten hours without refrigeration, and excessive shortening of the finger. The management does not differ significantly from that -host-parasite relations, of severed limbs. Only rarely is general anesthesia required. Decross-reacting antigens bridement and shortening, about 0.5 em., are carried out, and the bone - local immune response is fixed with an intramedullary wire. The extensor tendon is repaired including the lateral bands but the flexor is left unrepaired and is -role of RNA of usually grafted later. Heparinization is performed and one artery and microorganisms in two veins are anastamosed, suturing the vein first. Sutures of 8-0 and immunity to infection 9-0 monofilament nylon are used, but we were amazed to learn that no - humoral immune magnification or at most 4x loupes were used. Spasm is treated with response and aspecific topical2% procaine or by acupuncture. If fewer than two veins can be factors anastamosed a stab wound is made in the pulp of the digit to improve venous drainage. Nerves are repaired primarily.

At the First Teaching Hospital of Chung Shan Medical College in Barron, Felix Milgram, Canton 42 cases of severed limbs and fingers have been treated by James F. Mohn and Erwin replantation. Ten replantations of the upper limb and seven of the Neter (chairman). 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �lower limb have been performed; seyen upper limbs (70%) and five lower limbs (70%) survived. Four of the five cases of lower limb replantation were functionally satisfactory, and weight bearing and walking were practically normal. One of these four patients had successful replantation at the ankle 33 hours after injury. In 25 patients with severed fingers, 29 of 46 fingers were successfully replanted in 15 patients. The duration of ischemia was 22 hours in one case and five of six cases with ischemia greater than 12 hours were successful. Vascular anastamoses were done using a small dilator and attached magnifying glass. A ratio of two veins to one artery is preferred, but in seven cases with that ratio and in 12 cases with a ratio of 1:1, the success rate was identical (50%). Prolonged ischemia was not a contraindication to replantation in this group of patients. At the Chishueit'an Hospital in Peking 40 cases of severed limbs have been treated by replantation. Success was achieved in 24 of 35 cases of upper limb replantation (70%) and in three of five lower limb replantations (60%). In nine cases impairment of circulation occurred several hours to one week following replantation. This impairment was evidenced by cyanosis or pallor and a drop in skin temperature. All were reoperated. Five limbs had venous thrombosis, one had arterial thrombosis, two had thrombosis of both veins and arteries and in one the cause was not mentioned. Six ofthe nine limbs survived the second operation. Twenty three of the 27 successful cases were evaluated later and 21 had a satisfactory or nearly satisfactory functional recovery. Wound infection, impairment of circulation, and a high level of nerve injury were correlated with poor functional recovery. Experience in replantation has led to its use in other situations. In 1971 surgeons at the Second Teaching Hospital of Chekiang Medical College in Hangchow were presented with a 31 year old man who had been struck by a train. The right foot and left leg, from calf to thigh, were severely crushed. The left foot was replanted on the right leg by anastamosing the posterior tibial artery of the leg to the anterior tibial artery of the foot and vice versa. The greater saphenous vein of the leg was anastamosed to the lesser saphenous vein of the foot and vice versa. The posterior tibial nerve of the leg was rerouted and sutured to the posterior tibial nerve of the foot. The postoperative course was smooth and the patient now has excellent circulation and protective sensation in the foot. He can walk up to two hours with a left leg prosthesis and a crutch. In 1972 , a 29-year old girl sustained a similar injury involving the right leg and left foot. At the Peking Hospital of Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers, in cooperation with surgeons from Chishueit'an Hospital, the right foot was replanted on the left leg. Both posterior tibial and sural nerves were rerouted, repaired, and only the dorsalis pedis artery and two veins were anastamosed. This patient now walks with a right leg prosthesis and the abnormality of her gait is nearly imperceptible. At the No. 6 People's Hospital of Shanghai tumors of the upper extremity such as chondrosarcoma, recurrent giant cell tumor, and early synovioma have been treated by segmental resection of the tumor and replantation of the healthy distal limb in eight cases. A 5 to 6 em. margin of resection is considered satisfactory. The margin and the vascular and neural sheaths are checked by pathology and if thcj-J WI TER, 1973 5 The annual cost for educating a medical student in 1972 ranged from $16,000 to $26,000 , according to an American Association of Medical College report. This report from the Committee on the Financing of Medical Education is based on an intensive review of programs of 12 of ·the nation's medical schools. The cost variation was due to the program objectives /educational approach toward the diversity required to educate students with differing interest, career aspirations, edu c ation /social backgrounds. But the report was quick to point out that this variation in annual cost per medical student may not be typical at the other 100 medical schools. D �vessels and nerves are not involved they are preserved. One patient with chondrosarcoma has been followed for four years, free of recurrence, and has good function of the preserved limb. Attempts in cases of osteosarcoma have been disappointing even though resection has included the entire bone in which the tumor arose. How have the Chinese surgeons made these great accomplishments in the field of replantation? First, they are able and dedicated men. All of the members of our group were impressed with the caliber of the physicians which we met. Second, trauma of the extremities occurs with considerable frequency and provides a population of patients who are suitable candidates for replantation. Third, the current political climate in China has stimulated work in replantation. This last opinion is a private one but the impressions upon which it is based have been lasting. Politics and medical care appear to be inextricably bound in China today. This observation has also been made by E. Grey Diamond, M.D., who in 1971 became one of the first four American physicians to visit China since the Liberation. This union was consummated by the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, a threeyear attack mediated chiefly by student activists against all selfserving tendencies in the society, particularly among professional people. Examples of the jargon and attitudes are found in the book, Official Documents of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in China. In every kind of school we must apply thoroughly the policy advanced by Comrade Mao Tsetung of education serving proletarian politics and proletarian politics and education being combined with productive labor, so as to enable those receiving an education to develop morally, intellectually, and physically and to become laborers with socialistic consciousness and culture ... As regards scientists, technicians, and ordinary members of working staffs, as long as they are patriotic, work energetically, are not against the Party and socialism, and maintain no illicit relations with any foreign country, we should in the present movement continue to apply the policy of "unity, criticism, unity." Special care should be taken of those scientists and scientific and technical personnel who have made contributions. Efforts should be made to help them gradually transform their world outlook and their style of work. In a colorful and glossy pamphlet entitled "Recent Advances in Rejoining the Severed Limbs, The No. 6 People's Hospital in Shanghai," the development of replantation and the achievements of that hospital are chronicled and heavily correlated with the teachings of Chairman Mao Tsetung. Dr. Chen Chung-wei, then a visiting surgeon in the hospital, and other doctors, while tempering themselves in the factor through physical labor and receiving re-education by the workers, witnessed several working men who, in the days of the old society had lost their fingers ... Now being armed with the ever victorious Mao Tsetung Thought, not only can these revolutionary medical personnel of the hospital revive the cleancut limbs, but also the badly lacerated ones ... 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Under education by the Party, they realize that the medical personnel should always and everywhere think of the welfare of the working people. The endeavor to rejoin the severed finger for the working man was the very test for one's intent to serve the people heart and soul ... In informal conversations, Chinese surgeons made few references to ptolemics. The present system of medical practice, including the assignments in rural areas and the incorporation of traditional medicine, was never criticized. In official presentations, however, greater emphasis was placed on the direction given by the teachings of Chairman Mao Tsetung. Dr. Chen Chung-wei presented the experience of the o. 6 People's Hospital of Shanghai to our group on May 22, 1973. His talk, and my comments in parentheses, are reconstructed from the notes which I made that morning. (Son of a physician and a nurse, Dr. Chen Chung-wei graduated from medical school in 1954. A tall, handsome, barely graying man who spoke excellent English, he is a charismatic figure and is recognized in public places such as the Shanghai Industrial Exhibition when we toured that impressive display of Chinese productivity. Our group and the replantation surgeons from the No. 6 People's Hospital, in addition to Party officials representing the Chinese Medical Association, met in a large, comfortable room in the o. 6 People's Hospital. We sat in a circle of blue sofas and armchairs as Dr. Chen began in Chinese.) "Our first case was in 1963. The hand of a worker was severed just above the wrist in a punching machine." (His right eyebrow raised, and he showed black and white photographs of the injured arm.) "We had no experience but we remembered Chairman Mao's teachings. From our work in the factories, we knew well the need of the hands to the workers. We had no course in hand surgery but we presented the case to the Party leadership and won their support. The case was approached •as a team, collectively, and four hours later came success." "Later the hand became cool and swollen. We consulted other surgeons from Shanghai. One hospital had experience in the reattachment of dog legs. They suggested fasciotomy. It-worked and after one year of physical therapy the worker returned to his post. We thought that this was the first successful case of replantation but then came across the article of Dr. Malt." (Dr. Ronald A. Malt was the first surgeon to successfully replant the severed limb of a man when on May 22, 1962 he rejoined the amputated arm of a 12-year old boy.) "The masses of peasants and workers were happy to learn of this success. They saw that only under Chairman Mao and the Communist Party could this occur. Before the Liberation they would have lost their job." (He leans forward, legs crossed, smoking a cigarette. Occasionally he translates for himself into English.) "In 1963, we were able to see Chairman Mao in Peking as an indication of his concern over the health of the workers. After this first case we tried everything possible." (The presentation continued.) Whatever the ultimate reasons Chinese surgeons have made dramatic strides in the field of replantation. They presented their patients to us including the patients who had undergone fotlt-switch operations and excision of tumors with replantation. In every case the results were as described and were superior to those with eveej--. WINTER, 1973 7 �excellent prostheses. They candidly discussed the problems of poor tendon function and failure to attain reinervation. They were eager and interested listeners when we described our experiences and avidly observed our demonstrations of microvascular instruments and techniques. Our microvascular instrumentation and technique appeared to be more sophisticated than that of the Chinese but their dedication and experience has contributed greatly to the solution of some of the technical problems of replantation. There was no doubt in the minds of our group that the expressed goals of our trip were achieved- the promotion of friendship and the mutually beneficial exchange of information. References Horn, J.

Strom, M'32, was among five physicians to receive the "Certificate of Commendation," the highest award of the Michigan State Medical Society. He has been a Hillsdale, Michigan internal mepicine specialist for the past 38 years. The award, established in 1961, recognizes physicians who "distinguish themselves in the medical profession." Dr. Strom received the award "in recognition of his distinguished career in Hillsdale as a respected internist and medical educator; and especially for his leadership in the establishment of the coronary care unit and as longtime chief of medicine at the Hillsdale Community Health Center." Not only was the coronary care unit established under his direction, but in 1950, Dr. Strom, with the late Dr. Frank Rector, developed the Hillsdale Tumor Detection Plan which won the Hillsdale County Medical Society special recognition of the Michigan State Medical Society. Dr. Strom served as president of the Michigan Society of Internal Medicine and twice as president of the Hillsdale County Medical Society. He has been a trustee and second vice president of the Michigan Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association. He has also served as president of the Hillsdale Community Schools' District Board of Education on two occasions. A long-time delegate to the Michigan State Medical Society House of Delegates, Dr. Strom presently is chief of medicine at the Hillsdale Community Health Center. Dr. Strom did his undergraduate work at Cornell University. After receiving his MD from UB he served his internship and residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. D WINTER, 1973 13 �Automated Hospital Automation designed to reduce staff time and improve patient care will be one of the features of the Erie County Comprehensive Health Care Center.The new 12-story facility, adjacent to the present E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital, will be completed in 1976. The new 754-bed hospital will be a model of automation with electronically controlled supply carts, pneumatic tube system, and a sophisticated communication system. The· ambulatory patient will be the focal point of the new hospital. But the acutely ill patient will be treated too. "The staff will be moving into a completely new concept and not just a new hospital," Mr. Frazer M. Mooney, assistant hospital administrator said. In addition to the 754-beds in the new building, 100-beds will be renovated in the present F building. The distribution is: medicine, 150-beds; surgery, 160; obstetrics, 17; pediatrics, 43; neurosurgery and neurology, 50; psychiatry, 81; intensive care, 33; prisoner, 20; long-term, 200; alcoholic, 50 and tuberculosis, 50. An ambulatory care facility will provide 80 general clinic rooms in addition to special clinic areas. The emergency department will provide four surgery rooms, 20 emergency rooms, 10 holding observation rooms, and an emergency psychiatric unit. Patient accommodations will consist of 172 double patient rooms and 246 singl~ patient rooms. A closed circuit system will allow production and distribution of educational television in all conference and patient rooms. 0 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Two Administrative Appointments Two new administrative appointments have been made to the Medical School's department of medicine. Dr. James P. Nolan has been named vice chairman and Dr. Earl W. able, administrative associate chairman. Dr. Nolan, professor of medicine at the University, will also continue as chairman of the department of medicine at the Buffalo General Hospital. In announcing the appointments, Dr. Evan Calkins who heads the University's department of medicine, pointed to the "many years during which Dr. Nolan has achieved a distinguished reputation as teacher, outspoken representative of the faculty in meeting different situations, and as academic leader of the finest sort, taking increasing responsibility at a broad level for the University's department of medicine." Continuing he stated that " this appointment is intended to express the role he has gradually been assuming over the last year and a half." A cum laude medical graduate of Yale in 1955 Dr. Nolan completed his internship and residency in medicine at the GraceNew Haven Hospital after serving two years as Lt. Commander with the U.S. Navy Medical Corps. He is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians; a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine; on the editorial advisory board of journal of Medi cine: Experimental and Clinical , and is a memb~r of numerous professional societies. He came to Buffalo in 1963 as assistant professor of medicine from Yale University where he was instructor in medicine and associate physician at Grace-New Haven Hospital. The 44-year old internist is the principal investigator of a National Institutes of Health research program on endotoxin in the pathogenesis of liver disease. In commenting on the appointment of Dr. Noble who is clinical professor of medicine, Dr. Calkins pointed to his broad background in clinical practice, ambulatory care, close familiarity with community agencies and with structure/operational pattern of county government. "To this he has added a very effective ability as administrator. I am very pleased with the outstanding job he has done as alcoholism program director at the Meyer Hospital." A 1952 graduate of the UB Medical School, he completed his internship and residency in medicine at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital in 1957 when he joined the UB medical faculty as clinical assistant in pharmacology. The 48-year old physician has serve d as assistant director of the Meyer's outpatient department and as associate director of the department of medicine there. He holds memberships in local, state and national professional societies. 0 WINTER, 1973 15 Dr. Nola n Dr. Noble �oRE EFfECTIVE TREATMENT for the over 90,000 patients on methadone in this country may result from studies underway by a team of psychiatry I medicine researchers. Not only are these investigators evaluating two new chemical agents whose effects are longer lasting than those of methadone but they are attempting to predict which patients will have greater success on various narcotic treatment programs. "We will be looking closely at Naltrexone," said Dr. Zebulon Taintor who is principal investigator of the drug studies. "It is a heroin antagonist developed by Endo Laboratories. Its effects," explained the associate chairman of psychiatry, "are similar to immunization. A single oral dose of this inexpensive, nonaddictive, noneuphoric agent can prevent any effects from intravenous heroin for up to 72 hours. It is a possible replacement for methadone for it eliminates the problems of resale, overdose, and narcotic effect." Over a nine month period about 60 male addicts over 18, who have been detoxified, as well as narcotic experimenters concerned about addiction, will be given medical/psychiatric exams as well as medication at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. Buffalo is one of six centers to study this drug through a $206,000 National Institute for Mental Health grant. It is the first controlled study to determine Naltrexone's long-term effects, Dr. Taintor said. A narcotic, L-alpha-acetyl-methadol or LAAM as it is called is the second agent that Dr. Taintor and his team will cooperatively study at the Sisters of Charity Hospital (its methadone maintenance program). A long acting form of methadone developed by I. G. Farbenindustrie, a single oral dose will last 72 hours. Twice weekly 50, who have been methadone maintained for at least three months, will participate in the double blind placebo test while monthly lab function tests will determine any cell damage. Working with Dr. Taintor under the year long $104,000 Special Action Office for Drug Abuse Prevention grant are Dr. Benjamin F. Murphy of the Sisters Hospital, Dr. Christopher D' Amanda, clinical assistant professor of medicine and psychiatry, and Dr. Marjorie Plumb, clinical assistant professor of psychology. Predicting which patients will do well on various narcotic treatment programs are Drs. D' Amanda and Plumb, assisted by Drs. Taintor and Robert Nichols, professor of educational psychology. They will continue earlier research on defining scales for specific types of drug users. Several hundred current drug treatment participants as well as dropouts of both sexes at Sisters Hospital; the addict treatment rehab program at Lackawanna Health Center; Community Action Organization's drug abuse research/treatment program at the North Side Hospital in Rochester; Direct Education about Narcotics Program in Syracuse will be extensively interviewed and followed up at a later date. Each will take a series of seven "attitudinal" tests, M Dr. Taintor counsels a patient. Better Treatment for the Narcotic Addicted Dr. Plumb makes a point. 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. D' Amanda said. "For we are trying to evaluate the methadone dependent patient and socioeconomic factors are important variables to consider." A $129,000 National Institute of Mental Health contract covers this study. One of the most useful agents that Dr. D' Amanda has found for use in the emergency room is Naloxone (NARCAN). A short-acting antagonist, it works intramuscularly. Used in small doses it takes but a quarter of an hour to show minimal signs of abstinence. "Many of our patients are now using it," he said . He and his team are now at work on implants of this agent. While methadone breaks the heroin effect, the accollJ.panying dependency in turn becomes a significant problem. "After a while one takes a drug out of habit ." He feels that the more alternative maintenance programs there are, the greater is the chance for release from narcotic dependency. 0 Dr. Eccles Honored Dr. John C. Eccles, distinguished professor of physiology and biophysics and head of the Center for the Study of Neurobiology at the University, has been invited to join the faculty of the renowned Max-Planck Institute as a foreign member. The 70-year neurophysiologist, who through special University Board of Trustee action, will remain at the University for two more years, plans to work at the Goettingen, Germany center for the study of physics and chemistry fo~ extended periods after he retires in August 19 75 (he will make his home in Switzerland). Investigations on the brain that were begun after World War II by the Australian born and educated (MD, Melbourne University, 1925) scientist led to his knighthood in 1958 and a Nobel prize in 1963. As a Rhodes Scholar from Australia, he went to Oxford to work under Sir Charles Sherrington. Here he was introduced to the scientific examination of the nervous system. He later derived a philosophic approach to problems relating to it from the distinguished physiologist and Nobel Laureate as well as a better understanding of the way in which the brain is related to mind. From analytical studies to individual nerve cells, Dr. Eccles developed theories of how they function, the means by which impulses are passed from one cell to another, and the manner of their interconnection. New insights into both reflex actions and the formation of thought within the brain by Dr. Eccles who is a philosopher as well provide a firm base for future progress. Dr. Eccles came to Buffalo in July 1968 from the Australian National University in Canberra where he had been professor of physiology for 17 years. Among the numerous honors bestowed upon Dr. Eccles are the Royal and Cothenius Medals, Knight Bachelor, honorary memberships in many prestigious international scientific academies. The prolific contributor to the literature has also published seven books. 0 WINTER, 1973 17 Dr. Eccl es �Indian Health Summer Elective �Two second year medical students had an " out of this world" experience during the summer working on health projects on the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation in Salamanca. Both Steve Bien and George Drazek agreed that there were many pleasant surprises during their eightweek stint. "It was a great opportunity to gain some clinical experience in a rural setting. We got to know many of the patients that came to the clinic. And they liked and trusted us. We spent most of our time listening, watching, and learning from our physician preceptors." At Cattaraugus the students were assigned to Drs. Virginia Calkins and Fred Occhino; at Salamanca, to Drs. David Widger, John Voltmann, and Angel Gutierrez where they worked mostly with adults in an outpatient clinic in a hospital setting. By contrast they saw both children and adults at Cattaraugus in an outpatient setting on the reservation. The idea for the summer fellowship started in the fall of 1972 with Dr. Henry P. Staub, associate professor of pediatrics and director of pediatrics at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. Before coming to Buffalo three years ago, Dr. Staub worked with Indians in Minnesota. He is on the Committee for Indian Health of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The district chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics which received an award in 1972 for its activities decided to make the money available for a student project that would look at health care for Indian children. Dr. Robert Hoekelman, chapter chairman, director of pediatric ambulatory services, University of Rochester School of Medicine, worked with Dr. Staub and the students to provide a simple health inventory for children (one to four years old) to cover the research part of the program. Dr. Staub hopes to have a similar program for two students at the reservation next summer. 0 WINTER, 1973 L Dr. Fred Occhino, clinic physician, v isits with a patient w hile second year medical students, George Drazek (left) and Steve Bien [right) observe.

O'Connell (bow tie), chairman of the board of directors, Western New York Chapter, Multiple Sclerosis Society, presents $66,980 check to Dr. Milgram. Two associate professors of microbiology, Dr. John Abeyounis (left) and Dr. Kyoich Kana (right) ore members of the research team. I Dr. Milgram Receives $66,980 Grant A $66,980 National Multiple Sclerosis Society grant has been awarded to Dr. Felix Milgram, professor and chairman of the department of microbiology to continue studies over the next year and a half on multiple sclerosis- a chronic, crippling disease of the brain and spinal cord in half a million Americans between 20 to 40 as well as other brain disorders. Dr. Milgram was the first to identify a brain specific antigen, called the BE antigen for its resistance to boiling and ethanol-insolubility. "With these funds," he said, "we will now try to determine whether the BE antigen plays a role in multiple sclerosis and other central nervous system diseases." Rabbit antisera that he and his team of researchers have developed to the BE antigen in animals will now be used to detect whether this antigen is present in the blood and urine of animals with experimentally-induced brain damage. If successful, the team will proceed with studies on humans, starting with those who have suffered from strokes. BE fractions of these patients' blood, urine, and spinal fluid specimens will be prepared and examined for the presence of the brain BE antigen. Further studies will focus on those suffering from MS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and brain tumors. Explained Dr. Milgram, "because brain-specific BE antigen acts as an autoantigen (self) we will look at the sera and CSF (central spinal fluid) of patients with these brain diseases to determine whether BE antibodies to human brain BE antigen are present (he will use a sensitive procedure known as the tanned cell hemagglutination test). "If there is a higher rate of antibodies to BE antigen in MS (Multiple Sclerosis) this should be helpful in making a diagnosis and in following the course of the disease," he said. In extensive tests Dr. Milgram will try to detect antibodies to normal brain cell-surface antigens, antibodies to hypothetical novel antigens in MS as well as to those induced by a virus recently isolated by other investigators in several MS patients. Several procedures that he and his team have found valuable for detecting reactions of cell-surface antigens with their antibodies will be used- mixed agglutination with cell cultures, mixed agglutination with tissue sections, and cytolysis in agar gel of cell suspensions. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, founded in 1946, is the only nationwide voluntary health agency seeking more effective methods of treatment and eventual prevention of multiple sclerosis. Since its inception, the Society has granted more than 22 million dollars to support promising MS-related research and advanced biomedical training all over the world. D 20 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Cancer Research Studies N EW THERAPIES as well as better ways of using existing ones for treating patients in advanced stages of cancer may result from statistical cancer research studies being carried out by Dr. Marvin Zelen. The director of the University's statistical lab since its inception in 1971 has just been awarded a $200,000 National Institutes of Health grant to continue applying statistical, computational and mathematical sciences to planning and analyzing clinical trials in cancer. "The lab," Dr. Zelen explained, "is an outgrowth of collaborative efforts begun in the fifties by clinical investigators from leading cancer research/treatment centers who organized into cooperative clinical trial groups. His lab collaborates with four of these groupstotalling 120 institutions conducting 40 different clinical trials that involve 5,000 new patients a year." Not only does the lab help to plan these trials, collect data, and evaluate effects of treatment, but it provides continual analysis of ongoing studies to determine unusual occurrences and to recognize patterns of unforseen events, he explained. "To find therapies that will raise both the quality of life and prolong survival of patients as well as eventual cure of all cancer patients," Dr. Zelen said, "are goals of the clinical experimentation." Patient admittance to the program is strictly voluntary, he continued. Before a new clinical trail is initiated, it must be reviewed and approved by a hierarchy of committees within each cooperative group and ultimately by the National Cancer Institute. "Every step of the process is carefully monitored," Dr. Zelen continued, "and as a result, the quality of care provided at any of the participating institutions can be considered among the best in the world." Other cooperative groups associated with the University's Statistical Lab include the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group, Working Party on Lung Cancer, and the Veterans Administration Lung Cancer Study Group. "Members of my staff are in active liaison with cancer research centers and clinical trial groups throughout the world. Collecting, processing and analyzing clinical data require a completely integrated team effort involving the special knowledge of data processors, computer scientists and statisticians. Our group is one of the best of its kind in the world," Dr. Zelen declared. The Statistical Lab also serves as a training ground for graduate students in the University's Biometry Program. Biometry is the application of mathematics and statistics to the life sciences, and the program at U/B is considered to be a leading one in the field. "Because we are playing for real on these research projects, the students participating have a strong feeling that they are not merely earning an advanced degree, but are helping to solve some of our important health problems," he concluded. 0 WINTER, 1973 21 �Dr. Harry Fritz Named Dean of Health Education Dr. Fritz THERE IS A NEW SCHOOL OF HEALTH EDUCATION at the University. It will be the sixth school in the Faculty of Health Sciences, joining the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing and Health Related Professions. Dr. Harry G. Fritz, director of the division of physical education, recreation, and athletics, is the first dean. Dr. Fritz came to Buffalo in 1970 from Western Illinois University at Macomb where he was Dean of the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. President Robert L. Ketter first proposed the new school in 19 71. The new school combines the graduate and undergraduate . degree programs in health, physical education and recreation, formerly in the Faculty of Educational Studies, with the former Division of Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics. The new school will continue to offer baccalaureate, master's and doctoral degrees as well as required and elective physical education courses for non-majors. In addition, it will administer intramural, club and intercollegiate athletic programs. According to President Ketter, the formation of the new school and its shift to Health Sciences 'r epresent a "new philosophy toward health education." He said, "there is a growing realization that health maintenance, in the form taken in health education programs, is an important component in total health care. The more we know about maintaining the total fitness of the individual and the more professionals we can train to transmit this knowledge to the general public through education, voluntary, and governmental programs, the greater the chances of extending effective preventive medicine programs to all. "It becomes more obvious every year that many of the killing and crippling diseases of our nation spring from a failure to maintain adequate levels of fitn'ess. This is why we consider health education to be a complement to existing training and research programs in the health sciences. "The University at Buffalo has a long tradition of service in supplying health care professionals for the Western New York region. Our School of Health Education will be responsible for the training of a new kind of health professional, who will be in greater and greater demand in the future. "This University becomes the first in the State University of New York to offer such training through the doctoral level and the first in Western New York to establish such a program with close ties to other schools for professional health care training." Dean Fritz noted a national trend towards such schools -Penn State, University of Massachusetts, and Ohio State. The importance of locating the school in the Faculty of Health Sciences can be seen by the types of activities in which the school will engage, according to Fritz. It will be concerned with preparing school health educators and physical education teachers, including teachers for the handicapped, based to a large extent on the scientific areas of the Health Sciences such as anatomy and physiology. In addition, Dr. Fritz said that there will be a need for trained personnel for Health Education Centers and agencies which have been proposed: These will be designed to educate the public to "the importance and practical aspects of consumer health maintenance and fitness." 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Fritz pointed out that graduate research efforts in physical education are more frequently centered in the scientific areas of the Health Sciences such as the physiology of exercise. He expects such research to grow because of the more frequent interaction with the other health science schools. He anticipates that the school will also eventually be concerned with the preparation of athletic trainers and emergency care personnel. The organization of continuing education programs in such areas as sports medicine, emergency care, rehabilitation and exercise therapy is also a goal of the new unit. Serving as acting director of the graduate programs of the new school is Dr. Martin H. Mcintyre. Others prominent in the graduate program of the new school are Dr. Carlton R. Meyers, a nationally known authority and author in measurement and evaluation; Dr. John Piscopo, in kinesiology and biomechanics; Dr. Diane L. De Bacy , in physical education; Dr. Jerrold S. Greenberg and Dr. Lawrence A. Cappiello in school and community health education. 0 BETTER HEALTH CARE for Americans is the aim of a new program in Health Care Systems Management at the University that started in September. Dr. Edward L. Wallace, chairman of the Management Systems Department, explained that the program will examine ways of improving the efficiency of health care systems through the application of better planning and management techniques . It allows graduate students in the MBA program to specialize in health care systems. Besides regular MBA courses such as statistics, economics and management science , students who elect the health care systems option will take five specialized courses . The first will consider the social/political structure of health care systems in the U.S. Not only will institutions and agencies that are deliverers of health care be studied but organizations such as pharmaceutical and insurance companies, which are also involved in the area of he.a lth care. Under health economics, the students will consider the health area as a sector of the national economy- its effectiveness economically as state/federal health care programs . In a systems analysis course students will consider decision processes in health systems while under information systems they will cover the design and implementation of computerized information systems. A research project, in which the student is expected to apply skills acquired in solving a problem in the health care field, will wrap up the program. These research projects will be conducted either at local health care agencies or as part of federal research projects already in progress at the School of Management. Dr. Wallace believes the shortage of physicians is not the most important problem. "The important problems are in the area of organization of health care services, financing of health care, and sub-dividing activities so that individuals with varying degrees of training can handle various health care needs at varying levels of complexity." 0 WINTER, 1973 23 Better Health Care �Mr. Richard Gritzke, assistant research scientist, adjusts the oscilloscope. Examining the effects of alcohol on a fish are Dr. George Offutt, senior research scientist, Dr. Hebe Greizerstein , associate research scientist, and Hector Velasco, senior lab technician. Alcoholism Institute Patricia Trumbull, assistant research scientist and Dr. David C. Linn , senior research scientist, are studying the mechanism of the inhibitory activity of ethanol on membrane and enzyme functions. There are new quarters (1021 Main Street) and more research staff for the Research Institute on Alcoholism. It is directed by Dr. Cedric M. Smith, former chairman of the pharmacology department, who will continue as professor of pharmacology at the Medical School. The Institute is supported by the New York State Department of Mental Hygiene and is affiliated with the University. First proposed in 1965, the Institute officially opened five years later with a small research staff. It now has a scientific/ technical/support staff of 50. Says Dr. Smith, " we are now b etter able to achieve goals envisioned back in 1966 in our report to the Governor's advisory committee on alcoholism. That called for a broadly-based, multidisciplinary investigation of all aspects of alcohol and related drugs that would lead to new programs and techniques of alcoholism treatment and prevention.''

D The institute headquarters in the old Federal Building at 1021 Main Street. WINTER, 1973 25 �Program for Adolescents There is a new demonstration program for adolescents at Children's Hospital. Dr. Thomas F. Anders, associate professor of psychiatry and pediatrics and head of child psychiatry at the hospital, is directing the new program, "Adolescents in a Developmental Experience and Service Program." The Western New York Foundation has given $10,000 to the program. "We are selecting about 20 of the most medically troublesome adolescents - those individuals whose medical and behavioral barometers indicate serious psychopathology- for our study," the head of the division of child psychiatry in the department of psychiatry in the Medical School said. This is the first comprehensive treatment program in Western New York that uses school age adolescents, with chronic illness, in an after school vocational educational program. Each adolescent will spend 12 hours a week (six hours on weekends and six hours during the week) in this program. "By on-the-job work relationships and a group psychotherapeutic experience with peers, who also have chronic illnesses, the participants may come to a better understanding of their limitations. We also hope this will increase their self-esteem and reduce their depression and self-destructiveness. When an individual accepts his handicaps, he should be able to live a more fulfilling life," Dr. Anders said. To be eligible a teenager must be a patient at either Children's Hospital or Children's Rehabilitation Center. He must be at least 14 years of age. After a teenager completes 15 weeks he may apply for another 15 weeks, but acceptance will be based on his evaluation scores. Dr. Anders explained tbat teenagers are extremely resistant to both medical and psychological intervention. Many dedicated people at Children's Hospital are cooperating in this new program. This includes the newly formed behavioral sciences division of psychologists, social workers, educational and vocational specialists, nurse clinicians, the chaplain, volunteers and recreational therapists. Dr. Anders said that adolescents participate in projects that are meaningful rather than menial. The projects are remunerative ($1.00-$1.50 per hour) rather than volunteer. This remuneration will insure the participant that his work is considered valuable. The job might be in the photo or dietary lab, in housekeeping or maintenance or recreation. Often jobs are "tailored" for the adolescent. Dr. Anders also believes that an adolescent will act responsibly when given responsibility appropriate to his capabilities. This was proven during the summer. Mr. Dan Alessi, chief of vocational services, had 30 adolescents working together in a "pilot program." Some washed cars and trucks at a service station while others assembled ball point pens, packaged hinges, and sorted screws. "This summer program was operated by 10 teenagers, who were patients at the hospital. They were responsible and took charge of planning, administration, inventory and production as well as informal counseling," Mr. Alessi said. "Three of these were runaways and on drugs; two were deaf, two had cerebral palsy, one had seizures, and one had minimal brain dysfunction. 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"Of my four workers who were labeled runaways and school dropouts all were back in school in September, two are attending college for the first time, while the other two returned to high school. "We have about 550 adolescents at the hospital with a variety of disabilities ranging from handicaps secondary to chronic physical illness to psychosocial handicaps seen in the psychiatry clinic and the limitations resulting from both physical deformities and mental retardation seen at the Children's Rehabilitation Center. We believe this program will help some ofthese people," Dr. Anders concluded. 0 Treating Alcoholism There are some new trends in the treatment of alcoholism, according to Dr. Lucille Lewandowski, M'54, director of the Veterans Administration Hospital's new Alcoholism Clinic. She is also chief of psychiatry at Veterans and a clinical instructor in psychiatry at the Medical School. ''In previous years we wanted the patient to meet the needs of the program. Now the program will fit the need of the individual patient," Dr. Lewandowski said. "Too often we identify the alcoholic as being only the visible type - the unshaven, dirty, alcoholic. But the alcoholic can be functioning in a career. He can be a doctor, lawyer, or pharmacist whose main obsession is drinking, how to get a drink without being noticed or how to get money for alcohol. This is the only thing he cares for, the only thing he thinks of in his free time. "The Chippewa Street type constitutes only about two per cent of all alcoholics ..But this image interferes with recognizing the problem. People think all alcoholics are like that. The problem is far more prevalent than people think. Almost everyone has a friend or a family member who is an alcoholic." Dr. Lewandowski suggests a few ways one can help an alcoholic: -stop covering up for him. If he gets himself in a crisis situation in his job for instance grab that crisis and use it to show him what he is doing to himself; - some alcoholics can be scared out of drinking if they know what they are doing to themselves physically; if he is told that excessive drinking causes severe brain damage, he may be frightened enough to quit. "Many youngsters are taking up drinking because of the stricter drug laws, the resulting s·carcity of drugs and the accessibility of alcohol. "The increasing problem of alcoholism has been ignored for all groups. For the Vietnam veteran, the problem of alcoholism has been overshadowed by the drug problem. The rate of alcoholism in the service is extremely high. I believe the problem of alcoholism is more crucial than the drug problem," Dr. Lewandowski concluded. 0 WINTER, 1973 27 �Rural Externship Jon Terry, fourth year pharmacy student, filling a prescription at the Newfane Intercommunity Hospital with Mr. Lee Vermeulen, director of pharmacy services. "I Melodee Walker, third year physical therapy student, walks a patient at the WCA Hospital. TWAS THE KIND OF MEDICAL EDUCATIO that you don't get in the classroom." That is what the 17 medical students said about their eight-week experience in the fourth annual rural externship program in Western New York. A total of 56 health science students from the Schools of Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, Health Related Professions and Medicine participated in the program sponsored by the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program. The students were lavish in praising the cooperation and friendliness of their preceptors and the hospitals' personnel. "Everyone went out of their way to help us get involved in health care and community life. The patients were most appreciative of the health care they received." The medical students observed surgery, hospital rounds, office patients, X-ray, physical therapy, and even a rare house call (where they still make them). In addition they enjoyed, along with their preceptors or new friends, the social activities in the communities they were in. Schedules were flexible and students often made appointments to visit health agencies, other hospitals, or anything that interested them both professionally and socially. The students agreed that they and not the patients, were the guinea pigs. "We weren't allowed carte blanche or anything like that. We made preliminary examinations and sometimes recommended treatment. But in all cases it was verified by our preceptor." Another student said "the program influenced me toward working in this type of atmosphere. It has introduced us to a true picture of rural health services." Dr. Robert Wright, a Jamestown physician who serves as a preceptor, said "as a doctor it rekindles our interest in medicine and the learning and teaching involved acts as a stimulus to keep it up. I think it is an exciting experience." Dr. Consan Dy of the Newfane Inter-community Hospital agrees. "You always learn when you teach," he said. "Students keep you on your toes with their questions. We try to show them there is much more to rural practice than they imagined." Students were assigned to preceptors in Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, and Wyoming counties in Western New York and Erie and McKean in Northwestern Pennsylvania. 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"By providing students an opportunity to live and work in a rural setting, we hope some of them will decide to settle in these communities after they graduate," Dr. John R. F. Ingall, director of LARMP, said. Mr. William D. Crage, who headed the rural extern program, listed these students and perceptors. Many of the students rotated within their respective counties.

Dao, chief of the department of breast surgery at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, the New York State Department of Health cancer research and treatment center in Buffalo, concentrated on estrogen's relation to male breast cancer. Dr. Dao is also a research assistant professor of surgery at the Medical School. Estrogens, estrone, estradiol, and estriol, are female hormones found in normal healthy men as well as those with breast cancer. Seven men with breast cancer excreted significantly higher levels of the female hormones through the urine than did seven healthy men of similar ages. The Dao study reports pronounced increase in estrogen excretion, particularly estriol. Data further indicated that the elevated level is testicular in origin since they decreased markedly after testicular surgery. Of seven patients with breast cancer, excretion levels of all three fractions of estrogen in five patients were significantly higher than those in normal control subjects. Although the appearance of breast cancer after estrogen therapy for prostatic cancer has been reported, such an occurrence is rare considering the number of patients treated. The Dao studies definitely demonstrate existence of abnormality in estrogen metabolism in male breast cancer. Dr. Dao said, "an important question raised by our study is whether observed increase in excretion of endogenous estrogens in the seven patients is the result of the presence of the cancer. It may indicate a pre-existing characteristic of men prone to developing breast cancer." 0 Breast Cancer in Men Dr. Albuquerque Named Acting Chairman Dr. Edson X. Albuquerque has been named acting chairman of the department of pharmacology at the School of Medicine. He joined the U/B faculty November 1, 1967 as an assistant research professor of pharmacology and Buswell Fellow. He was promoted to assistant professor in 1968; associate professor with tenure in 1969; and professor in 1972. Dr. Albuquerque was born and educated in Brazil. He received his bachelor's degree in 1953 from Salesian College; his M.D. in 1959 and Ph.D. in 1962, both from the University of Recife. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Tulane University School of Medicine (1962-63); the University of Illinois College of Medicine (1963-65); and the University of Lund, Sweden (1965-67). Dr. Albuquerque replaces Dr. Cedric Smith who resigned as chairman to concentrate on directing the new Research Institute on Alcoholism, 1021 Main Street. Dr. Smith will continue to teach at the Medical School as a professor of pharmacology. 0 WINTER, 1973 31 Dr. Albuqu erqu e �Our First Professor of Surgery Franklin Hastings Hamilton (1813-1886) by Oliver P. Jones, Ph.D., M.D. Frank Hastings Hamilton, the second son of Calvin and Lucinda Hamilton, was born in the now obliterated hamlet of Wilmington, Vermont, 10 September 1813. In 1816 his parents moved to Schenectady, New York, where young Frank subsequently studied at the Lancasterian School and the "Academy." His preparation was so thorough that at the age of fourteen he entered the sophomore class at Union College. He preferred solitude and meditative pursuits rather than the physical exertion of youth . He improved himself by collecting botanical and mineralogical specimens . Later in life, while visiting Cologne he wrote , " After all, a man whose business is in information rather than pleasure, does best to travel alone." He graduated in 1830 and immediately entered the office of Dr. John G. Morgan as a medical apprentice when his preceptor was surgeon for the Auburn State Prison and also lectured on Surgery at the short-lived Medical School at Auburn. Hamilton was his Demonstrator of Anatomy until 1834 when Morgan was called to the professor's chair at Geneva (N.Y.) Medical College. Hamilton devoted a full year to the study of anatomy before attending a full course of lectures in the Western College of Physicians and Surgeons at Fairfield, New York. After three years of diligent study of the principles and practice of medicine he was licensed in 1833 by the Cayuga County Medical Censors. He subsequently received the M.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1835 . After Morgan left, Hamilton continued to carry on a full course of lectures on Anatomy and Surgery for the next four years. He made all of the dissections for the students who were chiefly from the Theological Seminary at Auburn. (He said , " The divine who possesses an extensive knowledge of anatomy , has ever at his command an extent of simile and beautiful illustration which no other natural science can afford."). The Catalogue of Students in 1836 lists forty-three in the class. It was here that he began to develop one of the greatest of all gifts, the faculty of imparting to others what we know ourselves. On 23 January 1839, the Regents of the University of the State of New York unanimously appointed Hamilton Professor of Surgery at the Western College of Physicians and Surgeons at Fairfield. It was during this era that he also gave lectures on surgery at Castleton and Woodstock Medical Colleges, Vermont , and at Pittsfield Medical College, Massachusetts. On 10 August 1840 Hamilton was called to fill the Chair of Surgery vacated by Morgan at Geneva (N.Y.) Medical College , a position which he retained for eight years even though before the expiration of that period he had taken up residence in Buffalo. It is interesting to note that Hamilton, at one of his Geneva surgical clinics in 1846, proposed an operation to a 15 year old boy in which he would have transplanted a healthy skin flap from one calf to the other in order to cover an indolent ulcer of eight year's duration. However, both the patient and his father refused permission. Hamilton told the class that the idea of treating old and indolent ulcers by a plastic operation was his own but "will postpone getting it patented until he learns how his Boston friends get along with their ether patent.'' Eight years elapsed before Hamilton was able to execute such an operation. He had a suitable patient at the Sisters of Charity Hospital in Buffalo and he transplanted a skin flap or pedicle 7 x 4 inches from the left leg to the ulcer on the patient's right leg. The success of this operation 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �confirmed the practicality of his earlier suggestion. Although some biographers have credited Hamilton with the first skin graft, it is a matter of record that Dr. Jonathan Mason Warren of Boston performed the first successful free transplant (graft) of skin in the United States in 1840. On the other hand, English and French surgeons ascribed to him the honor of being the first to close old ulcers by transplanting new skin. The inaugural issue of the Buffalo Medical Journal Uune, 1845) had as its lead article the first of eighteen letters written by Hamilton about his experiences and observations during an extensive European tour in 1843-44. The second one mentions his "hobbie" - ophthalmology and others clearly indicate his incisive interest in fractures. Hamilton was a graceful and brilliant writer. In 1844 Hamilton established a residence in Buffalo because of the clinical material there but retained his professorship at Geneva until 1848. He was admitted to the Erie County Medical Society in 1845 and in 1846 he, together with James P. White and Austin Flint, helped establish the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo. The Council of the University of Buffalo appointed him Professor of Principles and Practice of Surgery and Clinical Surgery, and Dean. Medical deanships were then far from the highly organized forms of business they have since grown to be; nevertheless, Hamilton resigned this position in 1849. He was also appointed Attending Surgeon to the proposed but ill-fated Buffalo City Hospital. In 1848 he was appointed Attending Surgeon for the Buffalo Hospital of the Sisters of Charity. After occupying the Chair of Surgery at Buffalo forfourteen years, Hamilton was called to be the first professor of Principles and Practical Surgery at the Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn. (Harvey Cushing claimed Hamilton was the first dean there but the archives at Brooklyn do not substantiate this. He may have fulfilled these duties without portfolio.) Both Hamilton and Flint commenced teaching there 3 March 1860. When the college and hospital were organized (1859-60), the founders did so for the purpose of promoting clinical instruction- bedside teaching. The extensive experiences of Hamilton and Flint in private and hospital practice, as well as in didactic teaching enabled them to carry out a reformation in medical teaching which was later more or less dominant in this country. This is precisely what Hamilton wanted to do in 1841 at the Geneva Hospital which unfortunately remained unoccupied for a lack of state assistance. Both Hamilton and Flint had visions of a similar nature in 1846 for the proposed Buffalo City Hospital which never got beyond the incorporation stage because of local anti-University sentiment. Both professors were, however, able to commence the reformation of medical teaching without clinical lectures at the bedside, at the Sisters of Charity Hospital from 1848 until they both left Buffalo. However, there was another feature besides bedside teaching that made Long Island College Hospital unique in medical education and that was students were able to pass from the lecture room into the hospital wards. At that time Hamilton supplemented preliminary clinical instruction with lectures on military surgery. He maintained his connection with Long Island College until his resignation in 1870. On 2 April 1861 Hamilton became Professor of Military Surgery and of Fractures and Dislocations at the Bellevue Hospital Medical College which was constructed on the plan of the Long Island Colleg(j-+ WINTER, 1973 33 The 8uffaJo Physician Mr. Richard Macakanja's cover design for the BUFFALO PHYSICIAN, Spring 1972 , won an award at the 14th Annual Art Director's (Buffalo Club) show last fall. 0 �II Dr. Jules Constant, clinical associate professor of medicine, is displaying his two books - Bedside Cardiology published in 1969, and his newest book published this year, Learning Electrocardiography, a Complete Course. This text is a course in the 12-lead electrocardiogram, as well as a complete course on vector loops and on arrhythmias. Both books have been published by Little, Brown and Co., Boston and are cardiology teaching books. The style is Socratic, i.e., it uses a question and answer type of modified programmed learning. An asterisk is placed in front of those questions designed only for fellows in cardiology. This technique allows the book to be useful for students from the sophomore level up, and for cardiology Fellows. D Hospital. [Later that month Austin Flint was appointed Profes~or of Principles and Practice of Medicine.] In May 1861 he was appomted surgeon to the thirty-first Regiment of New York Volunteers and shortly afterwards was made Medical Director of a c~rps in th~ Arn~y of the Potomac in which he remained through all of Its campaigns m Virginia. In a letter to Mrs. Hamilton dated 30 July 1862 he said, "It is no uncommon thing for a surgeon in the field to be compelled to change his position once or twice during an operation, on account of a change in the direction or range of the shots." On 9 February 1863 he was appointed, by the president and senate, Medical Inspector of the United States Army, with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. After two years and four months of activ~ servi~e ~e resigned his com~~~s~on 10 September 1863 to fulfill his obhgahons and responsihi~Ihes_ as professor of surgery in New York. In May 1868, upon the resignation of Dr. James R. Wood, he was made professor of principles and practice of surgery and surgical pathology an~ c~ntinued in this capacity until he resigned on 15 March 1875. His nse to fame there as turbulent and at times disheartening because of the many :bstacles created by some surgeons of renown who were envious of his fame and standing in the profession. Eventually all of these were surmounted as he pursued the career he had marked out for himself. Hamilton was a skillful surgeon even before he invented instruments which augmented his skillfulness. He was the first surgeon to excise the metatarsophalangeal joint for simple hallux valgus; to excise the central portion of the thyroid gland; to suggest and practice a safe method of cutting the sternal portion of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, and use gutta-percha for making interdental splints in the treatment of fractures of the jaw. In rhinoplasty he introduced two methods of operating. Hamilton reconstructed by skin grafting the mouth, nose and eyelid of a 25 year old patient who had been severely burned during childhood. Altogether there were seven operations, two of which were performed in March 1847 and 1848 in the presence of medical students and several physicians at the dispensary of the University of Buffalo. He was a natural born mechanic and invented an artery forceps, a serrated hone-cutter, several bone drills, a bullet probe and director, light and strong bullet forceps, a harelip scissors, an osteophore, a screw bone-elevator, a sequestrum forceps, and he improved retention appliances for treatment of many bones. In order to make joint amputations more precise and successful, he described what he called "guides and keys" to the articulations. Hamilton was not only a graceful and brilliant writer but he was also a prolific one. While in Buffalo he contributed frequently to the Buffalo Medical Journal and in December 1859 wrote at Buffalo the preface for the first edition of A Practical Treatise on Fractures. This famous book went through eight editions (1860-91), and was translated into French and German. He was particularly proud of The Principles and Practice of Surgery which had three editions (1872-86). Among his other widely known books were A Practical Treatise on Military Surgery (1861), A Treatise on Military Surgery and Hygiene (1865), Mal-Practice in Surgery (1875) and a Fracture of the Patella (1880). Hamilton Was a good teacher and lecturer, so much so that Harvey Cushing assigned him a prominent place in that special Valhalla reserved for the peripatetic teachers and frontier physicians. He also protected the medical profession from attacks by malicious 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN - �litigants: first as an expert in his profession and second as a medical jurist. He was unalterably opposed to the system of suing for malpractice in "cases where it was the fault of the patient and not the physician." While Hamilton was ever ready on proper occasions to express his views, he did listen to and not infrequently accepted the verified statements of other physicians. He disliked being noticed in the public press, either favorably or otherwise. He was greatly annoyed at the constant mention of his name with the Garfield case. Almost immediately after President Garfield was shot in 1881, Mrs. Garfield insisted upon sending for Hamilton to be a consultant and a special train was provided to take him to the wounded President. There were columns of unjustified censure and adverse criticism in the press, not only by laymen, but also by some professional colleagues of the surgical management of the case. However, the autopsy findings disclosed that the surgeons had acted correctly as set-forth in Hamilton's 1865 Military Surgeon. His colleagues bestowed many honors upon him, including the presidency of the following organizations: N.y. State Medical Society (1855), Erie County Medical Society (1857), N.Y. Pathological Society (1866), New York Medico-Legal Society (1875 and '76), American Academy of Medicine (1878), and N.Y. Society of Medical Jurisprudence (1880-84). Union College gave him her doctor of Laws degree in 1869. Dr. Hamilton was twice married - to Mary Virginia McMurran of Virginia in 1834 and to Mary Hart of Oswego in 1840. His first wife died after a short illness and his second wife died a year before he did. Hamilton was survived by two children - Col. T.B. Hamilton and Mrs. Daniel Davis. Frank Hastings Hamilton died 11 August 1886 as a result of chronic pulmonary disease with hemorrhage. His mental faculties remained remarkably clear until the end.

Dr. Hamilton, the distinguished and accomplished surgeon, carries a strong influence with him. The other members of the faculty are also able and efficient. 0 �The 1977 Class During freshman orientation they learned that their medical class of 135 represents the population at large. Not only are 29 minority students- 24 Black Americans, 2 Puerto Ricans, 1 Mexican American- that is nine more than last year but 39 are women as compared to 35 of a year ago (setting a new record). From Dr. Luther Musselman, chairman of admissions, they found out "a little about themselves," that they were selected from over 5,200 applications and 680 applicant interviews. Sixty are from Western New York, 122 from New York State, and six from foreign countries (one apiece from Africa, British Indies, France, the Philippines, and two from China). And they discovered that their selection was the result of a painstaking process lasting many months by a 12-member admissions committee. While most of the Class of 1977 are science majors they also learned that there was a respectable number of graduates in Philosophy, Music, Religion, Economics, English Literature, Sociology, Psychology, History, Art Education and Physical Education. Collectively they represent 86 campuses, eight hold Master's and four Ph.D. degrees. All are under 31; 17 are married. ~ 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA • �I ~ �Dr. Plaut From President Robert L. Ketter they discovered that "medical students are traditionally thought of as intelligent, hard working, hard driving, almost always on the border of exhaustion." In what he saw as the start of a most intensive period of profound change, he hoped that most in the class would see such a change in both medicine and in the delivery of health care. He assured them that he had no qualms whatsoever as to "where we are going under the leadership of the new vice president for health sciences, Dr. F. Carter Pannill, based on his past performance." He also sees the faculty here as playing a significant role in changing the whole concept of health care delivery in this country." From Dr. Pannill came the hope that "we will feel a sense of achievement in attaining some of the goals outlined by the president." While he saw many problems in the days ahead "as students and as practitioners of the art" he cautioned the new class that "if you are not willing to learn and unlearn all your life through, take up another art. You are members of this profession from this morning and will continue to be as long as you live." From the faculty they learned about teaching innovations and advanced placement exams. From sophomore, junior and senior medical students they were urged "as the chosen few to take advantage of all the opportunities that will avail themselves to you ... to respond to pressure ... the importance of being aware of mistreatment, disregard of patient individuality and to do something.'' From Dr. Martin Plaut came the assurance that their dissimilar backgrounds- in terms of what they have learned, their training and experience that they bring to the Medical School, will "make each individual and you as a class function and operate more effectively." From the associate professor of medicine's recollection of medical school they learned that something is going to happen in the next couple of years. "Mixed up with all of the fascinating diseases you are going to learn is a dehumanizing process so subtle you have got to watch out for ... 'that a patient is not just 'an ulcer.' "And there was a guarantee that "each of you will make it through Medical School if you keep what you now possess and add to it the scientific knowledge you have got to learn." 0 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dutch Consul General THE CO SUL GENERAL OF THE NETHERLANDS is a professor of microbiology at the Medical School. He is Dr. Carel J. van Oss. His consulate office is at his home and in his brief case. "I got the job, that by law rates no salary, because I was judged willing, capable and available. And, although I highly prize my own status as a naturalized United States citizen, I'm proud to serve my homeland's illustrious Queen Juliana, who has served the Dutch people for 2 5 years." Much of Dr. van Oss' work involves passports and visas, but he also supplies trade information to American businessmen or to Dutch businessmen seeking trade contacts in the United States. Sometimes Dr. van Oss is involved in deportation proceedings, especially people of Dutch nationality from the Netherlands Antilles islands of Curacao, Aruba and Bonaire. The professor gets many inquiries from young Americans who desire to get i,nto a Dutch medical school. "This is impossible because medical schools in Holland are filled to capacity. Students with the highest grades in Dutch high schools automatically are accepted by medical schools. Others with lesser grades are annually drawn by lots. If one loses the lottery one year he can try. again the next. American students have better luck getting into Belgian medical schools, but they have to be fluent in either French or Flemish. "The University of Louvaine, for instance, is so completely separated language-wise, that it's a twin university. The Flemishspeaking section is totally separated from the French-speaking part. The difficulty in all foreign schools for Americans is that courses are taught in the language of the country," Dr. van Oss said. Most perplexing problems arise when Dutch visitors, used to socialized medicine (which covers Americans who become ill while visiting Holland) have the misfortune to require medical treatment or hospitalization in the United States. "They are very surprised when they get a hospital and doctor's bill. They just can't believe it. "We get a lot of questions from Dutch people whose children are born here. The Dutch have· a habit of returning to the Netherlands at frequent intervals, even though most of them have or are in the process of acquiring U.S. citizenship. The first thing Dutch parents think of when they have a baby in the U.S. is 'Let's take our newborn to see grandma and grandpa in Holland next year.' Their second thought is: 'Let's get the little darling a passport exactly like our own.' We always refuse this because under U.S. law, if American citizens travel under foreign passports, their U.S. citizenship can be invalidated. It's difficult to explain this to stubborn Dutch parents." 0 WINTER, 1973 39 �Coconut Crab Study AvE YOU EVER EATEN A COCONUT CRAB? A Medical School biochemist and immunologist haven't either, but they have studied them. " We are especially interested in the tissue enzymes and serum agglutinins of the coconut crab." These were the objectives of Drs. Edward Massaro and Elias Cohen's stint in the Marshall Islands in the central Pacific in February. Dr. Edward Massaro is associate professor of biochemistry and Dr. Elias Cohen, is research associate professor of microbiology in the Medical School. Dr. Massaro described this land-dwelling coconut crab as huge _up to six pounds. It has well developed lungs and is perhaps the best adapted of all the crustaceans for terrestrial existence. It lives in burrows in the ground, but climbs coconut trees. It is very powerful. For it can shred a coconut (which it does routinely) , punch out the eyes and scrape out the meat with its powerful pinchers. It is easy to catch as long as you stay away from the giant pinchers. Dr. Massaro and about 12 other American scientists made their headquarters on Eniwetok Island, part of a 20 by 25 mile atoll in the Marshall Islands, some six jet hours west of Honolulu. Some of the other scientists were studying the rat population of the atoll, fishes , and mollusk. "The coral sea is beautiful, but deadly - just impossible to describe," Dr. Massaro said. "Sharks make it deadly, but the water is crystal clear and you have the opportunity of viewing a variety of fishes and other marine life ." Except for the coconut trees, the crabs, and an abundance of marine life , Dr. Massaro described the atoll as tropical and unproductive. He doubts that you could grow enough there to exist. There was no physician or dentist at Eniwetok. The nearest was on Kwajalein six hours by plane . The tropical islands are very windy in the winter season with temperatures in the 90's and frequent showers. "The people who did a lot of skin diving really got burned," he said. Dr. Massaro described the laboratory facilities as very good for such a remote biological station. The base was modern with adequate air-conditioned dormitories. The food was very good (apparently most of it is flown in from Hawaii). There were 15 or 20 permanent base employees- service type- who were from Hawaii or the mainland . The whole operation is very well managed by Dr. Philip Helfrich of the University of Hawaii. The trip was sponsored by the Atomic Energy Commission and the Department of Defense. The biochemist had two frightening experiences. The DC-8 blew an engine enroute to Eniwetok and had to return to Honolulu. And twice while exploring the coral atolls in a motorboat, Dr. Massaro was engulfed by 15-foot waves, whipped up by a sudden, strong wind and rain squalls. Dr. Massaro gave four lectures at the University of Hawaii (in Honolulu and Hilo) during his four-day stop enroute to the Marshall Islands. There has been some talk of closing the laboratory. Drs. Cohen and Massaro hope this will not happen because it presents a unique opportunity where scientists can study a wide variety of living forms in their natural surroundings.

Ambrus is the project coordinator that involves five hospitals and 14 researchers. She is also a principal cancer research scientist at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute. About 25,000 new-born infants in this country die each year with this disease. Infants in danger are those born prematurely to diabetic women or to women who had bleeding complications during pregnancy. "The disease develops in the first hour of life, and gets worse in the next 24 to 48 hours," Dr. Ambrus said. While normal adults have a system for dissolving blood clots, studies have shown that infants who have died from HMD were deficient in one or more factors of this system. "It was felt that if new-born infants were injected with plasminogen derived from human blood then maybe if the baby got sick it could develop its own clot-dissolving enzyme and this would prevent the formation of the clot in the lungs," Dr. Ambrus said. She described the preliminary results involving 100 infants as encouraging, but cautioned that "the results still are not significant because the number of babies is very small. Of 49 infants treated with plasminogen 13 developed mild respiratory distress and three developed severe respiratory distress (the other half received a saline solution). While two infants died from other causes, there were no deaths attributed to HMD." Seven of the 51 infants who received the saline solution developed mild respiratory distress, while 10 developed a severe form. Five of the latter died with HMD, while two other infants died from causes other than HMD." Dr. Ambrus said the goal of the study is to include 1,000 infants. Research groups from Boston, Los Angeles and Rochester, Minn., are planning to repeat the study after a report was presented at a scientific meeting in New Orleans recently. According to Dr. Ambrus, the plasminogen injection is safe. "One of the beauties of this preventive approach is that it consists of only a single injection. It could be applied anywhere- at a small hospital or even at home when a premature baby is born." In addition to Dr. Ambrus and her husband, Dr. Julian L. Ambrus, a research professor of medicine at the Medical School, other participants in the study are: Drs. Irwin D.J. Bross, Tai S. Choi, clinical assistant professor of pediatrics, Norman G.

Pediatrics Clinic jeffrey Williams, neighborhood youth corps worker, weighs a patient. There is a model pediatrics clinic underway at E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. It not only handles episodic needs of its mostly black population from 8:30 in the morning to 11 at night, but also stresses preventive care. Its teaching program has no difficulty attracting medical students and house staff. "Watching the number of outpatient visits grow is rewarding," says Dr. Henry P. Staub, an associate professor of pediatrics at the Medical School, who directs the hospital's pediatrics program. Dr. Staub feels that community pediatrics is essential to the total prognosis of the patient. A teaching-learning situation. 42 �The majority of children seen in the clinic suffer from infectious diseases ranging from colds, asthma and diarrhea to tuberculosis and meningitis. But there are also those with emotional and learning problems, lead poisoning, as well as the battered children. Among clinic services offered are full screening and recording of growth patterns. There are several specialty clinics as well as an active 28-bed inpatient unit. Two pediatricians are usually on duty during the day and one in the evening to provide continuous patient care as well as teaching for house staff. Working with the staff on days are two senior medical students taking a pediatrics elective. Students in their junior pediatrics clerkship, on call every fourth night, see patients in the Outpatient Department in the evenings. "With better outpatient services," says Dr. Staub, "there are fewer hospital admissions and shorter stays." The goals of the clinic are to provide a basic level of health care for its patients and the eventual reduction of the incidence of disease experienced by the middle class population in the past. J.

Not only is the student often the first to see the child, but he also talks to the parent or whoever accompanies the child. If the child needs to be admitted, the medical student will follow him through hospitalization and will be involved in all procedures, including surgery, and will finally discharge him. The ties between outpatient pediatric services and teaching are expected to be strengthened even more. 0 ' f 44 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �93 Faculty Promotions The following 93 Medical School faculty members received promotions effective July 1, 1973.

A Diagnosing Community Health Service Deficiencies NATIONAL MODEL that may help to identify the unmet health care needs of an entire community has been developed by a University researcher. He is Dr. Harry A. Sultz who has produced a series of community health information profiles for various counties in New York State. "These profiles," explained the professor in social and preventive medicine, "provide a diagnosis of the communities' health problems, their strengths and weaknesses. Just as good medical care for an individual begins with a good diagnosis," he continued, "so does good health care planning for a community. "But," he said, "once the diagnosis is made it is up to the decisionmakers - be they legislators, community leaders, health providers, consumers- to use this information to make judgments on new services, facilities, or to expand existing ones or reduce duplications." Dr. Sultz points to past, rather momentous health care decisions based on opinion that were unsupported by reliable information. "Such common sense judgments," he said, "can be very accurate but it is difficult to view health care in terms of a total system rather than in uncoordinated services." Why have community health information profiles received national attention? Says Dr. Sultz, "because they provide a scientific basis to plan for comprehensive health care." He combines some of the techniques of marketing research with computer technology to "permit the scientific documentation for planning for health." Long needed, it has only been a practical possibility recently, said the pioneer in health planning research. Now being prepared by Health, Education and Welfare Department's community profile data center is a book describing Dr. Sultz' theoretical concepts and techniques. 46 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Not only is profile data useful in planning decisions but to serve as a benchmark against which to measure the effect of prior decisions. Said Dr. Sultz, "we can use this planning capability as an evaluation tool as well. We have the start of a regional data base which can be used to monitor significant changes in needs, resources and population change. And we are now expanding the Western New York area to include most of New York State." Armed with a $100,000 National Institutes of Health contract, Dr. Sultz and his multidisciplinary core staff of sociologists, epidemiologists, geographers, programmers and systems analysts will also measure the impact of nurses in newly developed and extended roles on the health care of sample communities across the United States. Explained Dr. Sultz, "our uniqueness lies in the use of computergraphics which allows us to combine and analyze large amounts of complex data from a variety of sources - the census, hospitals, community agencies. If presented in traditional ways it would simply boggle the mind." Computer-drawn figures, maps, and charges are used to present findings. Those with no special training in statistics can interpret computergraphics with but little explanation, he continued. And at their fingertips is information needed to make sound planning decisions. For example, Dr. Sultz pointed to those with responsibility for making decisions who are now able to plan for future needs with reasonable accuracy. "They know where people from a given area go for services, what influences their decision- size of facility, its capabilities or range of services, nearness to transportation. And they also know what segments of society are not getting care and why." Of particular concern in an era of rising costs, cautioned Dr. Sultz, is the unnecessary duplication of services leading to underutilization of expensive facilities and its inefficient operation. He pointed to two hospitals in close geographic proximity who, after receiving profile information, are now sharing services to eliminate unnecessary overlapping and improve the effectiveness of existing resources. A major contribution of community profiles along economic lines has been analyzing how appropriately facilities are used, identifying those maintained in hospital beds - a very expensive level of care -who could be cared for in extended care facilities. The impact of community profiles, not only in Western New York but in communities across the country can be defined in -economic terms. "For the health care system in a community," Dr. Sultz said, "must compete for dollars with roads and other improvements. Presenting reliable data to legislators via easily understood community health profiles becomes essential." The Community Services Research and Development Program, headed by Dr. Sultz, has been supported for the past eight years by the National Center for Health Services Research and Development. Community Health Profiles, which evolved from this program, has been supported primarily by the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program with additional funds from the Comprehensive Health Planning Council of Western New York. 0 WINTER, 1973 47 �New Hospital Programs Mr. Ause IT IS A NEW DAY tor the E.]. Meyer Memorial Hospital. Mr. Marshall G. Ause, with 27 years of hospital administration, is the new director. And sometime in 1976 the new building will be occupied. One of Mr. Ause's first goals is the creation of an administrative structure within the hospital which will permit th13 implementation of new programs and ideas rapidly. "I have been amazed and pleased at the many good suggestions for improving the hospital from the · staff. Part of the problem of hospital administration is the product (medical care) and the consumer- the patient. "We are dealing with people at the time of trauma- people who well might resent the dependency created when someone is a hospital patient. Any organization has to be managed, but in a hospital the most effective type of service is not necessarily the most economical or the most efficient." Mr. Ause went on to say . that "we are operating a 24-hour, seven-day a week program and we must be prepared for all types of emergencies at all times. Often this is not economical or efficient, but necessary for effectiveness." The new director sees the problem of training staff to operate the ultra-modern mechanized systems in the new hospital as a "very complex one which is not insurmountable." A mock patient unit is being set up at the hospital to enable the nurses to become familiar with the new type of nursing unit. The .consultant and manufacturers will be available to help in the training and use of other unfamiliar systems such as mechanized serving carts. "I haven't planned any major changes. I'm still in the process of learning the hospital and the community. The medical staff is the most important aspect of the hospital and any administrator must have their support to do an effective job. I have been most impressed by the high quality of care presently being delivered to patients at this hospital and by the national reputation of many of the staff members," Mr. Ause said. "There is top level research going on here. Unfortunately the local community is not really aware of Buffalo's status as a medical center." Mr. A use is concerned about the health care delivery system as a whole and believes that hospitals have been remiss about not extending beyond the hospital's four walls into the community particularly the indigent community. "We have told people that if they want care they must travel to the hospital despite economic and transportation problems instead of taking the medical services to the people. We have a very fragmented health system and I'm concerned that it is becoming even more so. The patient should be the focus of any good system," Mr. A use said. The new director predicts that the day will come when the medical community and the county will examine whether the county hospital should continue to be such an intimate part of county government. Mr. Ause admits that this thinking may be premature. "Actually a county or city hospital is as anachronistic today as the old poor farm was 30 years ago. Today just about 100 per cent of all hospital costs are paid by third parties such as Blue Cross-Blue Shield and Medicare and Medicaid." 48 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �He said he could foresee the day when the county hospital would be transferred to a community group with the county perhaps purchasing services such as hospital care for prisoners. "Such a transition would allow more flexibility for the hospital, remove the stigma of a municipal hospital and benefit the county in. terms of budget and responsibility. Such a changeover will only be accomplished by carefully watching the climate of opinion in the community and timing." D Dr. Kazmierczak Honored Dr. Mary J. Kazmierczak, M'18, was one of eight women honored in October at the annual Community-University Day for distinguished careers. She is credited with having started the first successful mass immunization program during the 1920 diphtheria epidemic in Buffalo. This subsequently led to immunizations against scarlet fever, tetanus and pertussis. In 1930 she helped establish St. Rita's Home for Children. Dr. Kazmierczak was named Medical Woman ofthe Year in 1957. She served as chairman of a national scholarship award committee and as a trustee of Blue Cross of Western New York. She was the first woman delegate to a state medical convention and the first woman of her ethnic group (Polish) to be graduated from a medical school in New York State. She is still remembered as "Dr. Mary" of Buffalo's East Side. In 1929-31 she was district chairman of the League of Women Voters. She also served as president of the Buffalo Board of Education and as secretary to the City Planning Association. "I have seen tremendous improvement in the care of children in comparison with 50 years ago, not only in medicine but at home where nutrition and hygiene has improved immensely," Dr. Kazmierczak said. ''I'm glad so many women are coming into medicine and are entering the field of care of children. This is the basis of civilization. In my class there were only four women, as compared to 39 in the first year Medical School class this fall ." Dr. Kazmierczak represented the professions. The seven other women honored were: Mrs. Helen Yasgur, the arts, Miss Allalie A. Babbidge, business and industry; Dr. Anna Porter Burrell, higher education; Mrs. Joan K. Bozer, social services; Mrs. Marilyn G. Stahlka, communications and media; Miss Dorothy M. Haas, education and community; and Mrs. Lucille Kinne, government and public service. D WINTER, 1973 49 Dr. Kazmierczak �Occupational, Recreational Therapy Stations at the Mental Health Center 50 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �. WI TER, 1973 51 �The BGH Community Mental Health Center P ERSON TO PERSON SERVICE . That is one of the main thrusts of the more than 50 dedicated professionals and paraprofessionals of the Buffalo General Hospital Community Mental Health Center at 80 Goodrich Street. One 20-bed incare unit and a 24-hour emergency service opened in May. There are also satellite clinicsneighborhood counseling services at 1505 Genesee Street in Buffalo and at 5426 Main Street in Williamsville. A day/evening program has been functioning at the Center for a year. The staff take their services to the clients in outreach calls. They don't wait for clients to come to them even though the facilities are never closed. The objectives of the team workers are to prevent mental illness, to treat the mentally ill by giving immediate assistance to people in crisis , and by returning each client to his community as rapidly as possible. This is done through a coordinated program that offers many services- emergency care, consultation and education, inpatient and outpatient care, and partial hospitalization. Other services include rehabilitation and training along with diagnostic services, evaluation, and research. Continuity of care for clients is emphasized. The family is continually involved. In most cases other agencies or schools are also contacted to help with the planning for care after the crisis. "When someone has been hospitalized his re-socialization is goal oriented. He 52 moves back to his community with planned supportive therapy . He becomes rehabilitated as rapidly as possible," said Dr. Stanley Platman, director of the new Center. The Day/Evening Center has been one of the most effective programs for facilitating this movement. This program was initiated at Buffalo State Hospital (BSH) and subsequently moved to the new center. This demonstrates the unifying of catchment area services. Staff from BSH run the Day/Evening Center program. Thus, a client who was hospitalized at BSH and who is emotionally strong enough to return to his community to live can receive his therapeutic program at the Center. The BSH and the CMHC have many such staff sharing situations. Clients can move smoothly through the system. There are two buildings in the new complex. The Union Building features activity rooms for ping pong, card playing, reading, pool, ceramics and a beauty shop for client use. The meeting rooms, auditorium and gymnasium are used n,ot only by the clients but by many citizens, community organizations and self-help groups. The medical building has three 20-bed units, each having private and semi-private rooms with baths and a living room-kitchenette area. "We are sort of like a supermarket. We offer a variety of services for a variety of age groups. We are truly concerned about people- their treatment and rehabilitation," Dr. Platman said. The coordinated services enable clients to move easily from one type of treatment to another as his needs dictate. The new facility is in the inner city (East Side). Catchment Area III also includes parts of Cheektowaga and Amherst and all of Clarence and Newstead. The services are specifically for the 200,000 people living in this catchment area. This represents about one-sixth of the people living in Erie County. However, emergency cases from outside this area will not be turned away. There is considerable community involvement in the new Center. A Community Board, elected by the citizens of Catchment Area III, participates in the planning and operation of the Center. The Board is vitally concerned about the development of special services for children, the elderly, the retarded, alcoholics and drug abusers. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Both the emergency and incare service has physician coverage and a clinical pharmacist to meet the needs of clients. These services are located adjacent to the Buffalo General Hospital's emergency clinic and the two facilities are working to meet the needs of the people they serve. No one is admitted to the incare service without being interviewed by the emergency service staff. This staff sees up to 20 clients a day and also provides telephone counseling service for about 40 more. The staff first determines the client's immediate needs. After an interview and evaluation the Center's resources are used to help the person's problems. Incare is used only when some alternative plan can not meet the client's needs. Emergency and cns1s counseling, individual, family and group counseling and educational services are available at the two neighborhood counseling offices. There are several "out-reach teams" that have about 300-400 clients, who are visited in the clients' homes or at offices. All fees at the Center and at its satellites are on a sliding scale, according to the person's ability to pay. The Center is working closely with the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital, which handles emergency and short-term inpatient care for the rest of Erie County, Buffalo State Hospital and community agencies to see that residents in Catchment Area III make full use of the Center's facilities. In September the Federal Government announced that it was releasing $950,855 for staffing the Center. 0 Dr. Ketter Receives Honorary Degree President Robert L. Ketter received an honorary degree and delivered two major address at Kyungpook National University in Taegu, Korea in October. Dr. Ketter visited the University President Young Hee Kim for five days to formalize a sisterhood relationship between U/B and Kyungpook. This included the possibility of exchange of faculty and students for teaching and research programs. Dr. Ketter said that the new exchange program will probably initially involve the health sciences, natural sciences, e~gineering and mathematics. Dr. Ketter noted that Kyungpook is the largest and the best provincial university in Korea. He said it has a distinguished faculty. Mrs. Ketter accompanied her husband on the trip. Before visiting Korea they spent three days in Tokyo, where Dr. Ketter met with the President of the University of Tokyo. After leaving Korea they stopped at the University of Hawaii at Honolulu to discuss with its President the problems encountered during the period when the University of Hawaii was under construction. 0 WINTER, 1973 53 �EALTH CARE IS IMPROVING on the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation because of several dedicated people at the Medical School and the Buffalo General Hospital. It all started with the Medical Genetics Unit at the Hospital in 1965 when two physicians, Doctors Robin Bannerman and Thomas Doeblin, undertook the responsibility for New York State of providing physician care at the weekly adult clinics held on the reservation. Population studies were undertaken during this period in collaboration with other School of Medicine faculty members. In 1970 another faculty member, Mrs. Gillian Ingall, research associate in the department of medicine, planned and carried out a survey geared to better health care. She had four objectives: (1) to establish the pattern of medical care; (2) to describe the available services and resources; (3) to identify the gaps in medical services with special references to diabetes, vision, dental, and ante-natal care; (4) to determine the obstacles hindering the use of existing services. Mrs. Ingall found that diabetes was the major single cause of ill health. Nearly one-third of the population had a first generation relative who was diabetic. Hospital admission rate for diabetics was twice that of the rest of the population. From the survey Mrs. Ingall also found that 44 per cent of the dwellings had no running water and 50 per cent had no indoor flush toilet. Only about one-half of the people used the reservation clinics, while others visited local physicians or the hospital. Mrs. Ingall recommended several improvements based on this survey of 150 randomly selected households. _improve transportation on the reservation in order to make the existing medical facilities more accessible. -take a critical look at the services provided by New York State Health Department in the light of their usage by the residents . Since the survey , and perhaps in some degree because of it, other health needs were pinpointed and: _a health aid program has been initiated by New York State; _ a health aid has been appointed for the reservation to act as liaison with medical clinics and social and welfare organizations; _a weekly dental clinic for children; - a nutritionist assigned to the reservation; - diabetes workshops were organized. The new health aid program is a positive step toward improving the health of the residents of the reservation, according to Mrs. Ingall. In Mrs. Roseine Mohawk the residents have a person who they can talk to about health care. She is a state employee and acts as a liaison between the residents and health professionals on all health problems. Mrs. Mohawk works closely with the newly formed Health Action Group (lay and professional residents on the reservation) in promoting better health care. There is now a general awareness of health needs. The Health Action Group is a sounding board for health problems and possible solutions, and has taken the lead in providing health education to the residents. " Since 1970 great strides have been made in improving health care on the rese~vation. During the next few years we hope there will be more improvements especially in treating diabetes and alcoholism. The Buffalo General Hospital, the Medical School and the new Research Institute on Alcoholism have pledged their support," Mrs. Ingall said . 0 H Mrs. In gall interviewing an th e rese rvati on .

Staubitz, professor and chairman of urology, pointed out that 70 medical students and 24 housestaff will be using the new equipment during the next year to view and study medical science teaching films . Eaton also loaned the department seven videocassettes which covers 22 different medical and surgical subjects. The videocassettes are available daily, around the clock in the department's teaching area at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. In the future Eaton will provide additional videocassettes on other subjects. Eaton has one of the largest single collections of urological films available to the medical profession. Mr. Kamill Rohny, Eaton representative said the UB urology department has a national and international reputation for its excellent program. D WINTER, 1973 55 �Sabbatical at Oxford Dr. Rose was on Sabbatical during 1972-73. one of the oldest seats of learning, where Dr. Noel Rose's perspective and sense of purpose of a university was restored. It was the reality, what he dreamed a university would be like when he started in the academic profession. Not only was there an opportunity for the professor of microbiology to do significant research but some lecturing (he was asked to present three) and to meet many scholars from around the world. "The soul of Oxford," said Dr. Rose, "is its college tutorial system. Here most of the teaching and learning go on. While our educational process is based in a formal classroom setting, in Oxford lectures definitely take a secondary place to the informal tutorials." Students need only attend the lectures that interest them, a selection they make from a large catalog covering all of the semester's offerings. No exams or attendance are taken at lectures. If the first one proves interesting a student may decide to attend a second lecture. "One needs to be a good lecturer to survive as a teacher in Oxford," he said. Dr. Rose found the tutorial system to be "two-way learning between teacher and student." A topic is assigned to a student. He analyzes it and then returns a week later to discuss his ideas with the tutor after writing a thoughtful essay on the subject. Dr. Rose feels that the 9,000 Oxford students are a remarkable lot, probably the world's best. "They look like any other (long hair, dungarees) but during university wide exams they appear in black suits, stiff white collars and academic robes," he said. The Rose family lived in a large apartment within walking and bicycling distance of everything in Oxford. "We eagerly immersed ourselves in first-rate theater, music and cultural events provided by the Oxford community." Dr. Rose worked at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology as guest investigator of the cellular immunology unit that is supported by the British Medical Research Council. "Doing everything myself was extremely satisfying," he said. Working at the bench almost every day, he did his own tests, bled and did surgery on his own animals. "I just saturated myself in research," he said. It was on antireceptor sera that he worked, a historically interesting topic. "The notion that cells have specific receptors for antigen is something that my scientific great grandfather, Paul Ehrlich, proposed 70 years ago. If cells do have specific receptors that allow them to recognize antigen, it may be possible to develop antisera that will recognize receptors," he said. Dr. Rose pointed out that "one of the fundamental things immunology would most like to know is how cells recognize foreign antigens. Our work has very practical applications as well. For if we can develop a specific reagent, block a particular receptor, and stop a single immunological reaction (as in transplantation rejection or in immunologic disease) and not the entire immune response in a patient, it will be very useful." While the Oxford group is not the only one working in this area, Dr. Rose feels they have made very substantial progress. But even if nothing had come from his year of research at Oxford, the immunologist researcher feels that it would have been an excellent year. "We met so many people from different countries as well as excellent faculty." There were collaborative efforts with the Medical Research Council's biochemistry group. And while he was IT WAS AT OXFORD, 56 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �there one member of the unit, Professor R. R. Porter, won a Nobel prize. For other members of the Rose family it was an exciting year. His eldest daughter, Alison, attended Oxford and in just 12 months managed to cover in depth the major English authors of the first half of the eighteenth century. One of her favorite lecturers was the great grandnephew of famed poet William Wordsworth. David, an Amherst high schooler, attended an independent school noted for its strong athletic, music, and science programs. Another daughter, Bethany, attended a private school that stressed a classical education where uniforms and a more rigid classroom discipline replaced "our free and easy American environment. She will miss it," he said. The youngest, Jonathan, attended a very progressive district school. As part of his flexible curriculum there were excursions to France, Spain, Algiers and a nature camp near Oxford. For Mrs. Rose there were lectures, several courses, and architectural excursions, all part of an active adult education program at Oxford. There were even several surprise meetings with former students of Dr. Rose- one on the family's first outing to Stonehenge, one in a London hospital, and two others with UB alumni who were doing research at the National Institute for Medical Research near London. While the Roses visted London, toured Scotland, Wales, Switzerland, and Spain, their favorite touring remained in and around Oxford. Dr. Rose, who has headed the Center for Immunology since the death of Dr. Ernest Witebsky in 1969, will leave Buffalo to chair the department of irpmunology and microbiology at Wayne State University. One of the things he discovered at Oxford was that "I enjoy being an investigator. I can still do quite interesting experiments." He pointed out that one tends to forget this when involved in administrative responsibilities. He hopes there will be ~ore time for meaningful research on his new position in Detroit. 0 Dr. Sambamurthy Subramanian, associate professor of surgery at the State University at Buffalo, has been named one of 12 Hunterian Lecturers by the Royal College of Surgeons of England. He believes that he is the only Buffalonian to receive this greatest honor that the College can bestow each year on 12 of its graduates for original contributions to the field. It also carries with it an honorary professorship. On November 7 the 40-year-old cardiovascular surgeon traveled to England to lecture on early correction of congenital heart defects using surface induced deep hypothermia. This paper is based on his personal experiences over the past four years in Children's Hospital's department of cardiovascular surgery. 0 WINTER, 1973 57 Hunterian Lecturer Dr. Subramanian �Dr. Pearay Ogra Children and Infections A teac hing sess ion as Dr. Ogra exa min es a ba by w ith immun ologic d efi ciency di sea se. There are those whose obsession for long hours of hard work in research is combined with the enjoyment of bedside patient care and teaching. For one such physician, Dr. Pearay Ogra, not only interest but a need to satisfy intellectual appetite and ego may be the impetus. The associate professor of pediatrics and microbiology who also directs the division of virology at Children's Hospital is a serious student of infectious disease, especially in children. And he is currently working toward understanding the mechanism of hostvirus relationship in man- those infections with polio, measles , and mumps virus , hepatitis B antigen, infectious mononucleosis and cytomegalovirus. Underway in the India-born physician-virologist's laboratory is an intensive investigation of the ontogenesis of fetal infections, immune response , and antiviral function of antibody/cellular immunity in external secretions. While pursuing postdoctoral training in pediatrics and immunology at the Chicago and New York Universities , he became fascinated by a publication of Dr. Thomas Tomasi on secretory antibody. In 1966 when he joined Dr. David Karzon at the Children's Hospital in Buffalo (he is now the head of the department of pediatrics at Vanderbilt) he began to look at the possible role that this antibody plays in the mechanism of antiviral immunity, particularly in external mucosal surfaces. From his studies using infection/immunization with polio and rubella viruses have come the first clear understanding of this secretory antibody's role in respiratory/gastrointestinal tract- how it protects against viral infections where clinical disease is largely confined to mucosal sites. Use of identical infection modes in other investigations by him and his team of investigators have led to many major contributions in defining how local mucosal production of antibodies in external secretions develop . One spinoff was the observation that removal of tonsils and adenoids in the very young results in frequent reduction of antipoliomyelitis antibodies in both nose and throat. "This may explain the high incidence of paralytic poliomyelitis after tonsillectomy," Dr. Ogra noted. This spinoff also led to reevaluating the role of tonsils in the human immune system . "Maybe tonsils are not all that useless, " he said, and he cautioned that their removal should not be a routine indiscriminate procedure. The team has recently demonstrated the need for more effective rubella vaccines than those now licensed in this country. " We found that reinfection rates with wild rubella virus in nose and throat in such rubella vaccinated subjects is very high," Dr. Ogra said. Both ]AMA and New England Journal of Me dicin e have noted their findings on the Plotkin strain of rubella va ccine (RA27/3) and its effectiveness in inducing rubella antibody in both nose and throat. They also showed that the appearance of such secretory antibody after immunization reduces susceptibility to reinfection with wild rubella by more than 50 to 70 percent. 58 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �One of Dr. Ogra's major concerns is the care of retarded children in institutions where type B hepatitis may be endemic. Although progress has been made in understanding the disease, Dr. Ogra feels that many important questions remain unanswered and an effective vaccine is yet to be developed. One such important question is the route by which type B hepatitis enters an institutionalized population and the mechanism by which it spreads. "We now have evidence to suggest that type B hepatitis may be acquired by other nonparenteral routes," the Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatrics said, in addition to its classical transmission by needle contact or transfusion. In a recently published study on a family with this disease, Dr. Ogra pointed to this antigen's recovery from feces, urine, nose, throat, and blood. In situations of close institutionalized or familial contact Dr. Ogra believes that transmission of hepatitis B infection may be affected by these antigen positive secretions. Since the amount of antigen excreted in external secretions is not large, the Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine suspects that prolonged exposure may lead to hepatitis infection by such routes. Under an extended multiphase contract with NIAID-NIH he and his team of investigators hope to examine the epidemiology/ prevalence of hepatitis B infection and prevent its development at the West Seneca State School. And they want to determine its mechanism of transmission and how it relates to its excretion in secretions. "We hope to develop preventive means to limit such spread in closed institutionalized populations," Dr. Ogra said. Evaluating results of rubella antibody testing. cf Evaluating tissue culture. WINTER, 1973 59 �Part of th e team go over reports in th e diagnos tic la bora tory . Initial NIH funding (about $100,000) will be used to collect an epidemiologic data base for future use. "There will be no experimentation, no injection of human subjects with hepatitis B virus at the West Seneca State School," he said. Dr. Ogra foresees the conquering of type B hepatitis over the next five to ten years.

Raymond Partridge, Toma si (extreme left) and Drs. Thomas Provost, Auer (right). Secretory Immunoglobulins Note: An overview of Secretory Immunoglobulins by Dr. Tomasi was published in The New England Journal of Medi£!r!D Physiology in Medicine section. There is a distinct secretory immune system in man. It may protect man from viral infections by neutralizing or inhibiting virus growth. So says Dr. Thomas B. Tomasi, Jr., whose investigations have shown immunoglobulin levels and types of antibodies in external secretions such as tears, saliva, etc., to be quite different from that of serum. He pointed to immunoglobulin A (IgA) which represents a small fraction of the serum antibodies but is a major species in most external secretions that bathe mucous membranes. Independent regulation of serum and secretory antibody occurs primarily by local synthesis of IgA type antibodies. Therefore, says the professor of medicine, "under conditions of natural infection and immunization, these phenomena may lead to separation of systemic and local mucous membrane immunity." In working out the chemical characteristics as well as transport and biological properties, Dr. Tomasi found synthesis of secretory IgA in plasma cells and secretory component in epithelial cells. "While we now know that it exerts protection or beneficial effect against infections against virus, how secretory immunoglobulins act against bacteria is still fuzzy. For to lyse a bacterium, it is believed that an antibody must have the ability to fix complement, something the IgA, whether in serum or secretory, cannot do." However, IgA may work by cooperating with other nonimmunoglobulin agents produced at the mucosal surface. Or by a new alternate pathway in which complement is implicated in IgAmediated antibacterial reactions. Or perhaps IgA antibodies exert a protective effect by promoting phagocytosis by leukocytes and macrophages. 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Another potentially important function of secretory antibodies may be to limit access of antigens found in external secretions those most commonly ingested in food, milk, and the GI tract. And, as postulated, "if IgA can block allergic reactions, it may be better to desensitize man at the mucosal rather than the systemic level," he said. Secretory antibody probably establishes immunity by preventing colonization of the mucous membrane and therefore prevents both infection and the carrier state. In viral diseases, says Dr. Tomasi, the next logical step is to work out techniques of immunization -to elicit larger amounts of this antibody, perhaps by local applications of the vaccine to the mucous membrane. But, he cautions, in establishing the preferred route of administration of a vaccine -whether parental or local- the level of secretory antibody must be considered. As a group, Dr. Tomasi and other investigators found more recurrent infections among patients with IgA deficiency. But why some individuals with IgA deficiency are normal and others not remains unknown. "What we do know," he said, "is that in the normal ones, IgA is replaced by either immunoglobins M or G. In others, IgA deficiency and recurrent infections are often associated with defects in cellular immunity." Their study of disorders associated with IgA deficiency revealed different clinical syndromes. The mechanisms by which IgA deficiency can lead to multiple clinical syndromes is unknown. However, increased susceptibility to infections with viruses could cause the various diseases. Also imbalances between the secretory and systemic immune system could be involved in some disorders while others could result from a lack of SigA's protective role in preventing absorption of large amounts of nonviable material such as food antigens. Dr. Andrew G. Plaut gets ready to measure chemicals in disulfide reduction of proteins. SPRING, 1973 Dr. Tomasi reviews the data on one of research assistant Dolores Czerwinski 's proiects. Working on assays of SLE patients at the hospital are Drs. Ignatz Auer and Charles Singleton. �Alumni Contributors, 1972 It was not the best of times in which to ask for contributions. Immensely complicated and disturbing issues faced our School of Medicine in 1972. Indeed, a slight downward trend in alumni support nationally would suggest that one did not have to look far if he were searching for reasons not to give. Therefore, we are particularly proud of the following physicians who gave in 1972. Thank you. 1912 1928 Aaron, Abraham H. Markovitz, Julius T. Rickloff, Raymond J. 1915 Hayward, Walter G.

Udwadia, Rusi Dr. Ting Ching Yuen, a Chinese acupuncturist, demonstrated his art before two interested audiences recently. He gave an afternoon demonstration in Butler Auditorium and an evening demonstration in Diefendorf Hall. Dr. Ting inserted the tiny needles into student volunteers professing a variety of minor ailments. None of the volunteers showed any emotion as he pressed the needles deeper into one of the several hundred points and set them quivering with deft movements of his thumb and index finger. He than capped the needle with a pinch of a moss-like matter which he lit with a cigarette lighter. The matter smouldered, passing a small amount of heat down the needle and deeper into the acupuncture point. Some of the students reported a sensation in a distant part of their body as, Dr. Ting explained, the oscillation of the needle was passed up and down the "meridian" that connects related points. After a few minutes, Dr. Ting withdrew the needles, leaving neither a mark nor a drop of blood to show where they had been inserted. He explained that an actual treatment would require a more involved diagnosis to determine which of the body's five major organs was causing the symptoms. "It's not a miracle or magic. We don't know how or why it works, only that it works." Acupuncture is ineffective in treating bone damage he said. Those and some other cases are referred to conventional physicians. Acupuncture was first practiced about 5,000 years ago with slivers of bone. Research on its use as anaesthesia to accompany surgery was only begun in 1957 and was not generally practiced until1969, according to Dr. Ting. Since graduating from Shanghai Medical College in 1948 and coming to ew York City from Hong Kong two years ago, Dr. Ting said he has successfully treated ailments ranging from colds to paralysis. While he has been caring only for those patients referred to him by a conventional physician, he has had to close his office in the wake of a decision by the State Board of Medicine banning acupuncture in the state except in research institutions by a licensed physician or under his supervision. Dr. Ting is awaiting a reply from the Board on his application for licensure. 0 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �It is only semi-retirement for a 1927 Medical School graduate. Dr. Arthur G. Elsaesser is continuing his private practice, but retiring from two governmental positions in September. He retired as Erie County Medical Examiner and as examining physician in the Rath County Office Building's first aid office. Dr. Elsaesser had served as medical examiner for 23 years. The 69-year-old physician sees patients during afternoon office hours and two evenings a week. "I want to see enough patients to keep me busy." · As medical examiner Dr. Elsaesser was on call 24 hours a day investigating all accidental deaths, homicides, and unattended natural deaths. He estimates he has investigated about 6,000 cases since 1949. Dr. Elsaesser came across very few 'unsolvable' cases. Occasionally his work led to the court where he was called as a witness. "More homicides and more violent deaths have increased a medical examiner's work in recent years", he said. In 1949 Dr. Elsaesser began work with the County office as a diagnostician, investigating all natural deaths unattended by physicians. His title became medical examiner in 1955 when a staff of three diagnosticians and five examiners were merged. Six years ago he took on duties in the Rath Building's first aid office treating county employees. D Family Medicine Essay An essay, "The Practice of Family Medicine", won $200 for Bruce F. Middendorf, a third year medical student. The Erie County Chapter of the American Academy of Family Physicians created the award. Twelve second year students were recommended by their preceptors as nominees for this recognition. Mr. Middendorf believes "a physician must be a whole man to be happy in his profession and to fully appreciate all of life's gifts he must cultivate an attitude that prepares him to encounter the patient as a whole person. I believe the practice of Family Medicine can provide such an enlightened environment to realize these goals." In his essay Mr. Middendorf went on to say "the practice of family medicine offers much latitude and freedom. I am happiest living in the country. I find it so fundamentally rewarding to learn the individual uniqueness of people, to share in their joys, to be happy in their health, and to help them through their problems. Also the health care needs of such a rural population would best be served by a physician specializing in the practice of family medicine." "Such a setting, fairly close to a university atmosphere, would enable me to easily meet the responsibilities of continuing medical education. Even in the mainstream of family practice not all of these desires may be met, but if a few were, it would be a good life."

That sums up the activities of Dr. Willard B. Elliott, professor of biochemistry. About one-half of his time is spent in the classroom lecturing and teaching.

All of his education has been slanted in that direction. While working on his master's degree at the State University of Iowa in 1947 he became a half-time research assistant. He joined the UB faculty in 1950 after receiving his Ph.D. from Iowa. Dr. Elliott has personally trained 14 scientists - 10 with Ph.D. degrees and four with master's since 1950 .. In the early 1960's Aaron Taub, a Biology graduate student of Dr. Carl Gans kept trying to interest Dr. Willard Elliott in examining the action of snake venoms on biochemical systems. As a result of his persistence, as well as the cooperation in and support of the snake venom studies by Dr. Gans (currently Professor and Chairman of the Zoology Department, University of Michigan) who provided training in handling and milking of venomous snakes as well as serpentarium facilities, Professor Elliott's research group has studies underway on a number of snake and insect venoms in addition to projects on hemochromogens, oxidative phosphorylation, electron transport reactions, and low temperature spectroscopy techniques. The isolation of bee venom phospholipase A2 by Dr. D. Munjal (now a member of the Boston City Hospital Gastro-Intestinal Research Unit) resulted in identification of a number of bee venom antigens. Dr. Chitra air is continuing the phospholipase A2 research by studying the activity of the enzyme at elevated temperatures. Mr. Shepherd is producing pure components from bee venom which are being used in allergy studies as part of the NIH supported Allergic Disease Research Center Study in collaboration with Drs. Arbesman, Reisman, Wicher, Yurchak, Wypych, Cham and Okazaki. Mrs. Holly Hsiang, graduate student, is starting the fractionation of bumble bee venom. A byproduct of the stinging insect venom research is the collection of hornet and wasp colonies and the trapping of yellow jackets by Scott Denne, an undergraduate summer participant in research. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Wayne Gallagher, professor of chemistry, Niagara University, spends his summers as a senior post-doctoral fellow studying the ligand-binding of heme and hematin. Drs. Gallagher and Elliott participated in the April1972 . Y. Academy of Science Conferences on the chemistry of porphyrins. Other studies with heme pigments include Work of Dr. Anant N. Malviya, professor and head, Department of Biochemistry, S. N. Agra College of Medicine, Agra U. P. India, on cyanide reactions with cytochrome c, cooperative projects with Dr. Gordon White, Canada Agriculture Research Unit, London, Ontario on gladiolic acid, an inhibitor of electron transport; Dr. E. Margoliash, Northwestern University on low temperature spectra of cytochrome c, and with Dr. R. Penniall, University of orth Carolina on the synthesis and immunology of cytochrome oxidase. Mr. TsungPing Su, graduate student, is currently studying the changes in cytochrome c caused by gladiolic acid . The diversity of research in the laboratory results from a belief that each graduate student or post-doctoral fellow deserves to have a discrete problem. However, the techniques required are common to a number of the projects and technicians, student and fellows are encouraged to share their expertise with others in the group. A long range goal of the research group is to promote the maximal use of the materials obtained by fractionation of venoms Mr. G. William Shepherd , research technician, and Dr. Elliott examining the record of gel permeation chromatography separation of bee venom components. The components are being used for both allergy research (Buffalo Physician Vol. 6 , No. 4, 1972) as well as biochemical studies. SPRI G, 1973 9 �Dr. Wayne Gallagher examines the absorption spectra of a number of preparations of cytochrome oxidase, the enzyme responsible for utilization of most of the inhaled oxygen. Dr. Elliott teaches regularly. Mrs. Sangita Mehta, research technician, prepares a "disc" gel for enzymoelectrophoresis of tiger snake venom acetylcholinesterase. 10 in order that this natural resource be utilized efficiently. In collaboration with Drs. R. McLean and Dr. E. J. Massaro (Associate Professor of Biochemistry) studies on the isolation and homology of snake venom enzymes were undertaken. Now, Mr. Kumar, a candidate for the Ph.D. degree, has submitted a paper on the isolation of the acetylcholinesterase of banded Krait venom to the European Journal of Biochemistry. Evidence of the immunological identity of the acetylcholinesterases of a number of elapids, resulting from experiments carried out by Mrs. Mehta, was reported by Dr. Elliott at the International Symposium on Plant, Animal and Bacterial Toxins at Darmstadt in September 1972. Other research in the venom area includes studies on a factor in cobra venom that inactivates acetylcholinesterase (with Su-Ray Lee, a graduate student), a factor in tiger snake venom that protects acetylcholinesterase (with Dr. Amrit Rampal) and studies on the cardiatoxin of cobra venoms. Dr. Elliott's professional activities go far beyond the classroom. He is an associate editor of a bi-monthly journal, Preparatory Biochemistry, now in its third year. He has been a biochemical consultant for the Erie County Laboratory and the clinical laboratories at Sisters of Charity Hospital. For several years he has been a regular participant in national and international meetings, and he has authored or co-authored more than 63 articles for professional journals. Writing review articles and a treatise top his 1973 agenda. But Dr. Elliott admits that he will have to restrict his research activities to accomplish this additional writing. Dr. Elliott is interested in young people too. Since 1955 he has been either a scout master or an assistant. Several times a year he takes 15 or 20 boys (including his own five children) on canoe trips in the Adirondacks or in Canada. Stamp collecting and photography are his other hobbies.

Self Study Technique "A powerful instructional media." That is the way Dr. Beverly Bishop describes the self-study technique she is using in her neurophysiology classes. The associate professor of physiology is using a variety of audio-visual techniques to make learning easier and more enjoyable for undergraduate and graduate students. Dr. Russell Bessette, instructor in oral medicine in the Dental School, has helped develop these teaching aids. Currently Dr. Bishop is using the selfstudy approach in teaching neurophysiology to dental students. Last fall she used these materials in teaching a university-wide course in neurophysiology. "We are using video tapes, slides, and audio-films, cassettes, with accompanying illustrations to improve our teaching and make it easier for the students to assimilate the large volume of information they are expected to learn," Dr. Bishop said. "We use all of the traditional materials- textbooks, journal articles, a detailed course outline, and a self-assessment book with typical examination questions and answers," Dr. Bishop said. 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �For example, her "live lectures" are taped and duplicated onto cassettes which the students may check out at their convenience for instant replay. Students say they use these tapes to resolve disagreements over "what she said." Upon listening to a lecture a second time some students find they glean far more detail, even though they had considered their notetaking adequate. The didactic Monday, Wednesday, and Friday "live lectures" are supplemented with taped lectures and accompanying illustrations. The illustrations are either in a format of 2 x 2 slides or black and white figures in booklet form. These taped lectures are each 15 minutes or less in length with about 20 illustrations per lecture. Cassette recorders with earphones and table-top projectors are provided for the students' use in special conference-study rooms. This is an extremely powerful instructional media because the earphones eliminate all distractions, guaranteeing the student's full attention. In addition the student is receiving information simultaneously over visual and auditory pathways. It is superior to studying from conventional textbooks because the illustrations are in view throughout the time they are being discussed- an impossible situation when one must flip pages back and forth in a book to find and study the figures. "We find these supplemental illustrated lectures extremely helpful since classes have become larger and the students come with more heterogeneous academic backgrounds. This form of selfinstruction media is flexible, effective and most important- helps the student." Dr. Bishop says that much of the material she is using in the neurodentistry class has taken her many years to compile. "I am fully aware that all students are not interested in utilizing all of these materials, but they can pick and choose, selecting those which best fit their individual needs. For those who wish to review a particular aspect of neurophysiology in depth the material is here for them in some visual form." This is the fourth year that Doctors Bishop and Bessette have been working together to prepare teaching materials which demonstrate the importance of neurophysiology to clinical dentistry. By culling the world 's literature they have slowly assembled a comprehensive reprint collection of experimental studies fundamental to neurodentistry. The Health Sciences Librarians have been most cooperative and helpful in this project. Dr. Edward Perl, professor of physiology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, is using Dr. Bishop's materials to supplement his teaching. He has 110 medical students in his physiology classes. The use of electronic equipment is not new to Dr. Bishop. In the 1960's she introduced closed circuit television into the classroom to display oscilloscope traces to large physiology classes. Dr. Bishop found that when an entire class could simultaneously view identical responses displayed on the oscilloscope it was a great teaching advantage. "If you want to keep your teaching exciting you must innovate. You must find better ways of presenting your material. You must continually analyze yourself and your subject matter. Constructive advice from students helps me to be a better teacher." D SPRI G, 1973 13 �The Tower Residence Hall is the new home for the Health Sciences Library. Health Sciences Library President Robert L. Ketter said that Tower Residence Hall would be assigned as offices for the Schools of Nursing, Health Related Professions, and the Division of Student Affairs. The accreditation team which visited the Medical School in October was critical of the Health Sciences Library space shortage. The Library could not expand in its present location because that area of Capen Hall is not built directly on ground level, but rather on structural pillars that could not support additional weight. The Health Sciences Library will have a new home in 1974. The Tower Residence Hall, a 10-story structure will be converted to library space and offices when the students vacate the building June 1. The Library will have approximately 30,000 square feet of floor space on the grade and first floors, with additional expansion possible on the second floor. The Health Sciences Library currently occupies less than 15,000 square feet in Capen. Since 1952, when the present Capen site was assigned the Library, its resources, staff, users, and programs have tripled. Library director C.K. Huang was pleased with the doubling of space. But he warned, "at the current rate of our growth and the service demands of students and faculty, we will be needing 50,000 square feet of space by 1976, and 70,000 square feet by 1980. Our collection alone grows at a rate of 10,000 volumes a year. "We have 2,100 people using our library every day. This is double what it was two years ago. In addition we have 3,600 interlibrary loan requests per month, twice as many as two years ago. The library not only serves the students and faculty of the five schools -dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy and health related professions- but also the 15,000 health professionals in the 60 hospitals and research institutions in Western New York via the telephone communication system of the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program. Our library has one of the largest and finest current biomedical journal collections in the nation, and serves one of the largest health communities. One-third of the total University faculty is in the Health Sciences," Mr. Huang said. 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSIC! A �The new facility means a considerably pleasanter Library where individual functions can be assigned their own space. That means a much larger main reading room, separate reference room, indexes and abstracts room, current periodical reading area, audio-visual room, history of medicine room, group reading rooms, typing rooms, browsing room, seminar room, conference room, and shipping and storage room. More working space will also be provided for the departments of Circulation, Reserve, Inter-library Loan, SUNY Biomedical Network, MEDLINE, Information Dissemination Service, Serials and Bindery, Cataloging, Acquisitions, and Library Administration. Space is the Library's major problem, Mr. Huang emphasizes, management is not. The Library is providing a good and expanding range of services, Mr. Huang says, thanks largely to a hard-working, service-oriented staff. Mr. Huang gives a long list of examples: the Library performs the highest number of computerized bibliographical searches- over 21,000 last year- of the 22 members of the SUNY Biomedical Communication Network. Computerized Services will expand dramatically in the near future since the Library has been designated a major station of the national biomedical network MEDLINE (MEDLARS ON-LINE), recently established by the National Library of Medicine. The Health Sciences Library is linked with 15 other participating libraries in the SUNY Biomedical Communications Network. In-house services are also good, Mr. Huang says. For example, Library users can have materials from the collection duplicated free of charge. This free copy service costs some $30,000 a year, but makes possible minimal duplication of the collection and probably prevents a good deal of vandalism and pilferage. The move to Tower will mean that the current level of service, which Mr. Huang characterizes as close to excellent, can be maintained. How adequate Tower will be three or four years from now is another question. As one of the librarians said, in the information storage and dissemination business, "You have to keep running just to stay where you are." 0 School of Medicine Mixer The first Annual School of Medicine Mixer (the students have more aptly called it a Bash in their publicity) has been tentatively planned for the Hearthstone Manor, April 13. The "Bash" is a long-overdue attempt to bring together the common elements of the Buffalo medical community. Triggered by the students and planned with the cooperation of the Medical Alumni Association, invitations for cocktails and a buffet supper will be sent to the faculty, administration, students and alumni. Mark your calendars! 0 SPRING, 1973 15 The Library's single space acquisition has been 6,000 square feet in the Bell plant, where one-third of the Library's collection - some 40,000 volumes are stored. These will remain at the Bell plant. The South Campus on Main Street will eventually be devoted to the Health Sciences, under a plan announced in 1970. President Ketter said that because the University is accepting federal funding to expand enrollment in the health sciences, the need for space for these programs is particularly critical. Another possible conversion of facilities would expand the University Health Service from the small portion of Michael Residence Hall (which it now occupies) to all or most of that building. �Mr. Pendergast, Dr. Lanphier New Physiology Scholarships The Wallace 0. Fenn Fund for Environmental Studies received $16,000 from the Council for National Cooperation in Aquatics for four research scholarships, according to Dr. Edward H. Lanphier, associate professor of physiology at the Medical School. Mr. David Pendergast, an instructor and post-doctoral fellow, received the first $4,000 CNCA scholarship in November at the International Aquatic Conference in Quebec City. Mr. Pendergast's research for his dissertation concerns the "energetics of swimming," conducted in the new ring-pool in the Environmental Physiology Laboratory. The Fenn Fund was established in 1971 to commemorate the life work and example of Wallace 0. Fenn, distinguished university professor of physiology, The University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, and visiting professor of physiology at U.B., 1959-60. Dr. Fenn died on September 20, 1971, after a long and active career that included contributions to many aspects of physiological science. The fund is intended to foster the growth of knowledge concerning the physiological effects of the physical environment, including its influence upon man's capacity for muscular exertion. The fund was instituted with an initial contribution by a member of the department of physiology, with the expectation that additional sources of income would materialize from various non-government contributors for the support of research in this field. The fund is administered by the University of Buffalo Foundation, Inc. Contributions should be made payable to the foundation and may be sent to the physiology department. D 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Poverty I Growth The worse the social conditions or poverty of the mother, the smaller or more stunted the child. Dr. Herbert G. Birch went on to prove this at a symposium on Community Health- What is it? sponsored by the departments of pediatrics and social/preventive medicine. He reviewed investigations on the more isolated ethnic groups of Italians and Jews as well as Guatamalan and Mexican villages at nutritional risk. And he found that poverty creates subcircumstances that lead to a high percentage of intrauterine low birth weights, malnutrition in certain segments of the population, and the later risk of school failure, lower intellectual level, neurological muscular disorder, as well as neonatal problems. Warned the research professor of pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, "a child at social risk is placed at health risk as a consequence of developmental opportunities before birth. In humans, malnutrition is most concerned with intrauterine life (up to age seven months) when all of the neurons (cell division that produces cells) have been produced, and postnatal life up to P/2 years when all of the glia (nerve cement, basic metabolic function of nervous system) has rapidly developed, and ages 4 and 5 when the nervous system is elaborating processes of each nerve growing, establishing connections and interrelation's in its dense network to permit complex information processing. In the animal, even if stunted offspring subsequently grow up under good conditions, it takes a minimum of two generations to overcome the·intergenerational effects of malnutrition, a feature contributing to poverty which begets poverty. Therefore, warned the investigator, nutrition, as a girl, affects productive capacity as a woman. And growth of the stunted child's potential, so desirable in health, is hindered. Attesting to the importance of diet was a study of working women during the second world war days in Great Britain when rationing resulted in higher protein diets. Despite a shortage of medical staff, babies were born bigger, infant mortality was lower, and maternity deaths were reduced. Pointed out Dr. Birch, author of the book, "Disadvantaged Children", nutrition and general health are not democratically distributed in the community. "Even though recipients have certain of these phenomena that take a long time to be fully effectuate, there is no reason to delay improvement of such a program. You are the being of what you eat." 0 SPRI G, 19 73 17 Dr. M. Luther Musselman has been appointed assistant dean for admissions at the School of Medicine. Dr. Musselman, a 1937 Medical School graduate, has been on the faculty since 1947. He is also a clinical associate professor of medicine and assistant director of the University Health Service. During World War II Dr. Musselman was a Major in the United States Army. From 1942 to 1946 he served in North Africa, Europe, Japan and the Philippines. 0 �Alcoholism Institute Mr. Richardson , Dr. Smith THE RESEARCH INSTITUTE ON ALCOHOUSM, headed by Dr. Cedric M. Smith, professor and chairman of the pharmacology department of the Medical School, has a new home. The former Federal Office Building and garage on Main and North Street is now owned by the New York State Department of Mental Hygiene. In a special ceremony on November 2 at the Albright Knox Art Gallery, HEW Secretary Elliot L. Richardson turned the deed to the building over to Dr. Smith. The HEW Secretary made two other property transfers- the U.S. Army Reserve Center in Amherst, now owned by the Town of Amherst; and the Nike missile battery in the Town of Lancaster, now owned by the Board of Cooperative Educational Services. The Cabinet officer described the program as "swords into plowshares," and said the transfers result from an executive order from President Nixon to all federal agencies to divest themselves of all property no longer needed by returning them to the public. In the last three years New York State has received $3.5 million in federal property under the plan. The state's Department of Mental Hygiene intends to use the old five-story federal building for its programs on prevention and treatment of alcoholism. Some drug abuse research will also be done. The building was constructed 25 years ago for $340,000 and is now valued at $700,000. The Research Institute on Alcoholism was announced in 1970. At one time it was reported to be in line for an initial budget of $6 million and a staff of 400. Then came the "freeze" on State funds and the development of the University's Health Sciences construction program. Dr. Smith, with deed in hand, said "this marks the beginning of the dreams of many dedicated people in the State, in Buffalo, and at the University. We are prepared to start in a small way and we now have a nucleus of a staff working. But we must have continued community and governmental support." In his acceptance Dr. Smith mentioned that "the Citizens' Committee on the Problems of Alcohol of the State of New York and the Advisory Council on Alcoholism of the New York State Department of Mental Hygiene have been engaged for more than 10 years in seeking solutions to the problems posed by alcohol abuse and alcoholism. These groups early realized, as the result of their diligent study and consultation with numerous experts, that further research was required to gain new knowledge to identify the causes of alcoholism, to prevent its occurrence and to treat those afflicted effectively. They developed concise plans for a research effort closely allied on the one hand to individuals with the greatest research competence and, on the other hand, to those providing prevention and treatment. Buffalo and the University was selected as the site of the State's establishment of a Research Institute whose mandate spanned from basic research directed to long-term goals to the solution of currently pressing problems." The Buffalo area, Dr. Smith's text pointed out, "has great strengths in terms of expertise." He cited Dr. Marvin Block, an internationally-renown expert on alcoholism; Mrs. John R. Campbell, chairman, Citizens' Committee on the Problems of Alcohol; the Buffalo Area Council on Alcoholism; and the Alcoholism Service of the Department of Mental Health of Erie County. 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The former Federal Office building is the new home for the Research Institute on Alcoholism. Dr. Smith went on to say "the University has a truly remarkable group of faculty with specialized expertise applicable to studies of alcohol and related drug abuse problems - the questions of the molecular-chemical actions of alcohol, the origins of dependency, the social impact and interaction with the behavioral problems of alcoholism, and it has the potential ability to resolve the questions of the optimal delivery of prevention, detection, and care services." The State, through the Department of Mental Hygiene, has expressed its support of the Institute in principle and in fact, Dr. Smith said, so has the Federal government. "These various levels of our society are meshed together in an effective partnership that, if continued, will foresee the development of new knowledge and skills useful, not only directly to our community, but the State and nation." The Alcoholism Research Institute will share its new building with programs of the Public Health Laboratory of Erie County and with the vocational training and rehabilitation efforts of Opportunities Industrial Corporation. The latter, Dr. Smith said, is an outreach program which "will add significantly to aftercare for patients in the alcohol and drug clinics at the Buffalo General Hospital, at the Meyer Hospital, and those under the Buffalo Area Council on Alcoholism's purview." In addition, he indicated, the Research Institute hopes to develop a follow-up clinic and sheltered workshop in the building in cooperation with the Erie County Alcoholism Service. 0 SPRING, 1973 19 �Health Care Improvement "The next Congress will probably pass some form of National Health Insurance." AcADEMIC MEDICAL SCIENTISTS, educators and students were challenged by their own colleagues, politicians and others to co-operate in improving health care in America during the 83rd annual meeting of the Association of American Medical Colleges in Miami Beach in November. More than 3,200 registered for the five-day event that had 150 separate meetings. It was the largest attendance in the history of the AAMC. "Discoveries that scientists make in their laboratories must be converted more quickly into treatment for the suffering," according to Congressman Paul Rodgers, Florida Democrat. The Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Public Health and Environment went on to say that "the new research" is the principal link in the new health picture that is developing in this country. "Overall public support for research will increase and the Federal research effort will remain within the framework of the National Institutes of Health." Congressman Rodgers declared, "new education is the second link in the new health picture. The public needs new kinds of physicians willing to attack the health needs of a total population. Physicians must be committed to prevention of disease as well as cure. Physicians must be concerned with socio-medical problems such as malnutrition, alcoholism and drug abuse. Academic health sciences centers must provide settings in which multiple roles are being learned and understood as part of a total health effort designed to meet the needs of patients and society." The Congressman spoke of the development of HMO's as a new health service. "Access to adequate health care must be made certain and simple. The impact of new health services will be felt in every one of the nation's academic health centers. The teaching hospitals will be expected to perform a dual role." Senator Edward M. Kennedy told the educators "we are on the verge of national health insurance, the fourth profound reform in health care since 1900. In the past, reforms have been forced on medical education and the medical profession from without. I am asking you not to let this happen again. I am asking you to participate in that reform, to help lead it, to help perfect it. If you and your colleagues in private practice do not participate the choice that has to be made will be made by others and they may approach the problem with less insight and different motivation." The Massachusetts Senator predicted that the next Congress would pass a comprehensive program of national health insurance. "Chairman Wilbur Mills and I plan to jointly introduce such legislation early in 1973, and Chairman Mills has given it a high priority, second only to tax reform. "National health insurance will force many changes in the health care industry. The changes will affect the way your graduates practice medicine and the way academic health centers educate health professionals of the future. "National health insurance is more than just a financing mechanism. It is a lever with which to reform all aspects of the health care industry, including medical education. And it is a lever which will be used. I am asking you to prepare to use that lever, to participate 20 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �vigorously in the restructuring and reform which is now inevitable. The financing lever will be used to focus the health delivery system on health maintenance. We need you to help us define what that term means and to develop positive status indicators. If we are to succeed, and if we are to pass programs rather than ideas, then we will need your active participation." Senator Kennedy went on to say that he still believes this nation must have a basic biomedical research program second to none and that the shape and content of this program should come from the research community. "The Federal government must free the academic centers from their concern about short term fiscal crises and must provide continued support for school construction and modernization. "There is still a serious health manpower shortage in this country reflected in our annual import of thousands of foreign medical graduates to fill hospital vacancies and yet still consistently leave one-fourth of those positions unfilled. In 1970, 3,000 foreign medical graduates came to this country for internships, depriving their home lands of a vital resource. And yet, that same year, 13,500 applicants were turned away from medical schools in this country; and our schools graduated only 8,000 physicians to fill the 15,000 internships." The Alan Gregg Memorial Lecturer told the audience that "the health sciences are now the most important single part of all of higher education in the United States." Clark Kerr, chairman of the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education pointed out that "our greatest center of growth is the health sciences. No longer is the medical school a place set apart, tied more to its profession than to its university." Mr. Kerr referred to Adam Smith, who almost two centuries ago in the Wealth of Nations said that the real wealth of a nation was not its physical resources or its accumulated capital but the "skill, dexterity, and judgment" of its labor. A study of development around the world has concluded that the two factors most closely related to growth in human productivity are more education and better health, according to Mr. Kerr. "We now invest more in human capital formation than we do in physical capital. Man himself is increasingly recognized as the greatest wealth of the nation. Our capitalistic society is thus becoming more a humanistic society in terms of where the greater investments are made. "Advancement on human capability is heavily related to expenditures on health, on education, on research and development. In 1955 we were spending a total of 11 per cent of our GNP on these three areas combined. Today the figure is 17 per cent and if the trends continue by 1980 we will be spending 27 per cent of our GNP in these three areas. "Only one major area in the United States - health care is experiencing a deficit of skilled personnel. This current deficit may be the last major deficit of skilled personnel ever to occur in the history of the United States. It will be largely eliminated by 1980. SPRING, 1973 21 "Is the department the only and most appropriate basic organizational unit to accomplish undergraduate professional education, graduate medical and academic education, basic clinical and health services research, patient care and continuing education?" "Manpower needs in the health area are great; and so is student interest because of job opportunities and the attractive service aspects to health care." �"The health sciences are now more at the center of the further spread of science within higher education than is any other major field of endeavor. They are one of the major coalescing centers for intellectual activity in modern America. They draw together more strands of scientific endeavor than does any other single segment of higher education. They are a particularly dynamic focal point for the discovery of new knowledge. Only the study of ecology now seems likely to compete for this central role. "You have gone a very long way indeed since Alan Gregg said 'so much more might be done than is being done,' but you have a long way to go in further enlarging individual human capability, which is the end goal of our nation and of all democratic societies,'' Mr. Kerr concluded. "This country does not now have, and never has had a comprehensive national health policy." "If there are to be positive changes in our health delivery system, there must be concurrent change in our system of educating health professionals." "Medical centers should try out some of the quality assurance mechanisms being proposed by various groups." The President of the Institute of Medicine pointed out that we are witnessing a gradual transition from a society oriented toward the treatment of specific diseases and episodic illnesses to a society oriented toward the maintenance of good health. Dr. John R. Hogness said "much greater emphasis is being placed on comprehensive health care, on the prevention of disease and the treatment of chronic illness, on nutritional and environmental factors as they affect health." "One of the major incongruities in the health field today is that our educational system remains fragmented and disjointed. We have spent time and energy keeping students of medicine, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, the allied health professions and others, apart from each other. We have tended to isolate them, and to train them separately. The curriculum for the students in each of these professions is generally designed by the members of that profession and usually without much regard for, or knowledge of, the curriculum provided students in other professions. "The call is not for a merging of professions, but rather, for greater interplay among those preparing for health-related occupations so that when faced with responsibility for providing a service, they will function effectively together. What is required is an enlargement of professional outlook, an awareness of the contributions to be made by other professionals, and an ability to work in partnership with them. "Leadership in establishing a national health manpower policy should come from the academic sciences centers. This policy should provide a sense of direction, now lacking, for those engaged in preparing the practitioners of the future,'' Dr. Hogness concluded. "The Federal government has become the dominant influence on governance in academic health centers,'' according to Dr. Philip R. Lee, professor of social medicine at the University of California Medical School, San Francisco. "Today probably over 100 different Federal programs have an impact on academic health sciences centers." Dr. Lee reviewed the growth of the health sciences centers over the last 25 years. "Governance used to be determined by the faculty, 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �but today there are many external influences including alumni, donors, accrediting bodies, professional associations, neighbors and government. Internal influences include students and staff. "There are 55 institutions in the United States that I would describe as academic health sciences centers. All include medical schools. All but one include teaching hospitals under the control of the medical school, 44 include dental schools, 19 include nursing schools, 12 include pharmacy schools and a few include veterinary medical schools and schools of allied health professions. The academic health sciences center has become a multifaceted enterprise with a great many constituents. Students must be given greater opportunities to participate in governance. "Small wonder that governance is complex, perplexing and at times impossible under such circumstances. Who could possibly have planned such an institution, much less administer it? "The department is the unique feature of American higher education. It has proved to be one of the keys to the successful adaptation of professional schools and academic health science centers to the enormous demands of the past 25 years. The job of the department chairman has become increasingly complex and challenging." In conclusion Dr. Lee said "money or the lack of it will play an increasingly important role in decisions, and the challenges of the next decade will equal any of the past 25 years. ' "Health care is not the only domestic priority in this nation, and pumping more money into the health care delivery system and its educational process may not be the only way to improve the level of health in America." That is what Dr. Merlin K. DuVal, assistant secretary for health and scientific affairs at HEW told the AAMC delegates. (Several weeks ago Dr. DuVal returned to the University of Arizona as vice president for the health sciences). "Medical schools have received $1,083,740,000 since direct Federal aid to medical education began in 1964. You must find some way to justify the return the pubiic is getting from this large health investment. The public is asking why it should put taxpayer dollars into a training program that will train specialists who can move from research into practice any time they wish and earn $100,000 a year? "The government accounting office, the watchdog agency of the Congress, has just asked HEW to start obtaining more detailed reporting from you on the way in which you spend public funds. The time has come when you will be held more accountable for these funds. Consumers want to be partners in the decision making. "Public policy makers are asking questions such as: which is more beneficial to our nation- $100,000 spent to operate a coronary care unit in a hospital, or to purchase health insurance for 166 families? Or to teach young mothers in the ghetto about nutrition? Or to develop a high protein vegetable product? ''You are now by your own petition a national resource.

"Is confrontation to replace consensus as a major factor in decision making in academic health science centers?" "Medical centers must help develop an effective role for the consumer of health care. Consumers want to be partners in the decision making." �During the 92nd Congress 24,023 measures were introduced, of which over 2,600 were of interest to the health field. "We are seeking a new style for the education of the physician." "Physicians do not fulfill their duty unless they discover the peculiarities of each patient. Their success depends not only on their knowledge, but also on their ability to grasp the characteristics which make each human an individual." "To design a regional health sciences consortium without a university hospital is to design a regional power grid without the generator." tration. We ask for reasonable consistency between the goals you select for yourselves, and those that are being selected by the society that pays your bills. And if change is upon us, we ask that you accommodate- appropriately- but without sacrificing the institutional integrity and stability that are the hall marks of a free and productive society," Dr. DuVal concluded. The dean and director of the New York University Medical Center pointed out that we should not let consequences take the place of purposes in medical education. Dr. Ivan L. Bennett, Jr. listed six broad objectives that he believes represent what medical education is all about: integrity, intellectual ability, capacity for work, commonsense and judgment, a faculty for ascertaining the truth and the acquisition of knowledge. The dean went on to say that there are many other sub-objectives and narrower, specific goals that should be encompassed in planning the education of physicians. "I have labored over these major objectives at some length only because I have the inescapable feeling that many current trends in medical education, externally and internally generated, have come into being in virtual disregard of a set of overall objectives. If we continue to approach the future only in terms of present trends rather than in terms of objectives, the consequence will be a future that is a mere extension of the present rather than a solution for the present. "What we are seeking, I believe, is a style for the education of the physician, a style that will relink humanistic studies, the basic sciences, and the clinical specialties and subspecialties of our profession and others; that will meld premedical, undergraduate, and post-graduate experience into a continuum of learning so that medical education is not just an aggregation of puddles dotting the academic landscape, but a system in which current flow, merge, and again diverge, replenishing and enriching one another and the social soil with which they come in contact," Dr. Bennett concluded. "The final test of a system of education is the degree to which its graduates can meet the needs of the people they serve. For the health professions, this test is met when the numbers, kinds and attitudes of health workers are sufficient to make the fullest measure of health available to every citizen. We are far from meeting this test today," according to Dr. Edmund D. Pellegrino, vice president for health sciences and director of the center at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. "The primary locus of responsibility for remedying this disjunction rests clearly with the nation's academic health sciences centers. Their enormous potential has yet to be harnessed to the urgent needs for better planning and delivery of health care and quicker application of new knowledge. The University hospital must be a partner in this venture. It is essential to the formation of a really effective health sciences regional consortium. It provides the specialized technological back-up and the specialized health workers who complete the 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �total spectrum of care that should be available to every community. The university hospital will continue to be the place to train subspecialists and academic clinicians, who will always be needed in meeting the total health needs of a region. "We would be naive if we interpreted the current public mood of disaffection to mean it will forego the accrued benefits of scientific medicine. What it seeks is a better balance between the effort dedicated to research and the training of specialists and that devoted to training manpower for the larger volume of ordinary human illness." Dr. Pellegrino concluded. Academic medical scientists and educators were challenged by a colleague to recognize their own inability to solve some of the most crucial health problems in America today without the help of the best scholars in such non-medical fields as law, economics, business administration and engineering. Dr. Howard H. Hiatt, dean of the faculty of public health at Harvard, declared that academic health centers' neglect of social and environmental factors is partly responsible for the unsatisfactory state of the nation's health. Dr. Hiatt called for "multiple bridges" between the health sciences and a variety of other groups in universities. He pointed out that "some of the brightest young people" are eager to face the health challenge confronting society. He said they should be offered training, not only as physicians and biological scientists, but also as "new kinds of professionals" with broad expertise in more than one of the disciplines required to cope with the complexities of health problems. Dr. Hiatt called for input from a wide variety of disciplines, "including economics, public policy, sociology, business management, statistics, decision theory, education, engineering, law and ethics." To insure participation of these disciplines in a comprehensive approach to health problems, he point~d out, "new kinds of people must be trained, and new .institutional arrangements will be required." The latter, Dr. Hiatt noted, would include "joint appointments and joint degree programs to build strong, constantly used bridges between the health center and other parts of the university ... our challenge," he declared, "is to meet the needs for coordination rather than duplication and for sufficient flexibility to permit quality rather than convenience to determine where a given research activity will be carried out." The AAMC chairman declared, "the ferment of health has its roots among the people of America. The vocalization of their discontent is growing and their discontent is basic. They want excellent health care. They want it when they need it, where they need it. They want it comprehensive and reasonable." Dr. Russell A. Nelson, president emeritus, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, went on to say, "this concern is reflected in Congress. Our national legislators know the mood of their constituents. And they are responding- slowly, but responding- in a way that ' SPRING, 1973 25 "There must be a public education program designed to assure an ongoing dialogue between medical faculties and society so society can set intelligent priorities based on reasonable expectations rather than on hope." �"National health insurance is close. The AAMC will have a significant voice in what happens on the Washington scene and in shaping future health legislation." "A Cabinet level department of health is needed to administer federal health programs and evaluate the nation's health." ultimately will satisfy the basic demands of the people. And for the academic medical centers, the implications of these changes are enormous." Dr. Nelson assured the educators "that we are ready. Developments in Washington are expected to become extremely important in 1973. We are organized to have a voice in what happens. Clearly, we can expect to shape not only our own future, but to influence the shape of the national health system which will emerge." The outgoing chairman explained AAMC's new policy on graduate medical education "as a continuum and that the academic planning must not be artificially separated from undergraduate education. Since graduate medical education is one of the most important elements in the making of a physician, we have agreed that universities must take responsibility for house staff education." Dr. Nelson went on to say that there are several unsolved problems: -the trend to lengthen graduate medical education; -the financing of graduate medical education; -increasing specialization at the expense of clinical training for primary care; -the maldistribution of specialists; Dr. Nelson concluded by making another plea for a cabinet level department of health. 0 Alumni Reception A total of 23 alumni, wives and Medical School faculty attended the Association of American Medical Colleges alumni reception at the Doral Hotel, Miami Beach, Florida on November 3rd.

In addressing the 8th District Medical Society recently, President Robert L. Ketter listed other short-term goals as appointments of a new Dean of the Medical School, a new Vice President for the Health Sciences, and improved health care delivery systems. "These decisions will have a medical impact in Western New York. But these new directions in· no way abrogate the traditional impact we have had in the past." Dr. Ketter believes that a state such as New York should have at least one of its public medical schools ranked among the top ten in the nation. "The University is prepared to make that its goal. Our hope is that the State is equally prepared. In any event, we will do our best to aid in their preparation. Enrollment figures provide a strong argument in our favor. The total credit course (headcount) enrollment in the State's four health sciences centers in the fall of 1971 was 4,537. Of these students, 2,065 were enrolled at Buffalo. In other words, our enrollment nearly equaled that of the three other centers combined, and it was 825 higher than the second largest center. "Health manpower - physicians, dentists, nurses, and many different allied health personnel - will continue to be needed; and we will continue the teaching and training which has produced these persons in past years. In research, we cannot pretend that we will be able to dispense with bio-medical investigations. We will have to give increased attention to prevention and to the influence of environmental and social factors in the health of the individual. As for public service, the health sciences have always been the most prominent part of the University community, and this tradition will be continued." President Ketter mentioned the year-long self-evaluation study and the accreditation visit by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The medical and health sciences accreditation team was highly critical of th~ small space available for the Health Sciences Library. The team was also critical of the wide dispersal of facilities used by the School of Health Related Professions, the School of Nursing and the basic science departments. "The University is moving as forcefully as possible to alleviate these space needs." The University President mentioned the recent lease-back arrangement with Children's Hospital for space to be used for teaching purposes. "This type of arrangement may be expected with two or three of the other affiliated hospitals. It represents another aspect of the University's determination to provide adequate facilities in the health sciences." In conclusion President Ketter said, "the University regards itself as a public trust. As such, we must be responsive to the needs of those who have created and who support us. One of the most widely agreed upon of those needs at this moment in our history is to create a system of health care which is readily available to all citizens; one which is not just effective in treating illnesses~ but in preventing it as well; and one which is sensitive to the value of human dignity. The University intends to respond to this need. And that will be our impact upon medicine in Western New York in the years immediately ahead." 0 . SPRING, 1973 27 Top Ranking For Medical School �Blood-Brain Barrier, Cerebral Air Embolism Dr. Lee Why can a blood-brain barrier be broken down by cerebral air embolism? In a paper presented by Dr. Joseph C. Lee (professor of anatomy and research associate professor of neurosurgery) at the International Symposium on Cerebral Air Embolism, he reported on its unique effects on the blood-brain barrier as demonstrated in experiments that he, Drs. T. Broman (Sweden) and Louis Bakay (professor of surgery and head, division of neurosurgery) have carried on over the past quarter century on simple or complicated ischemia and various types of hypoxia. When the noted anatomist and Dr. J. Olszewski (Toronto) more than a decade ago injected air into the common carotid artery of cats and rabbits and used I- 131 albumin or trypan blue as tracers, they found that these normally-excluded substances were able to cross the blood-brain barrier in cats while only trypan blue could enter the rabbit's brain after air embolism. Breaking down the barrier mainly in the gray matter- especially the cerebral cortex, thalamus, corpus striatum - its effect peaked during the first hour, to decline rapidly following air embolism over the next four. After peaking, the tracer spread from gray to white matter, indicating a cerebral edema. But there were no necrotic changes in the brain parenchyma, a usual sequela of ischemia. How to explain why air embolism breaks down the blood-brain barrier? If a result of mechanical damage to tunica intima, then Dr. Lee felt the same result could be reproduced by injecting other gases or agents. He found carbon dioxide to be less effective than oxygen and nitrogen more so than air embolism in breaking down the barrier. By injecting ethyl alcohol in the arterial system of identical animal species, he was able to induce increased permeability in the cerebral vessels for the longer-lasting effects of the tracers- more intense radioactivity, a more pronounced blue in the thalamus, hypothalamus and amygdaloid nuclei than in the cerebral cortex, and with the albumin solution entering the brain of both cat and rabbit. Because air embolism involves transient ischemia, seizures, and hypertension, Drs. Lee and Olszewski then tested the effects of each. To produce cerebral ischemia, a common carotid artery was ligated in their animal model for one to 24 hours prior to intravenous injection of albumin solution. Autoradiographs revealed a faint radioactivity in the gray matter of cerebral hemisphere of the ligature side. When this condition was combined by Dr. S. Levine (New York City) with that of respiratory anoxia, its pattern of barrier breakdown was similar to that of air embolism, but with a longer-lasting effect, a more intensive radioactivity and with necrotic changes always found by Dr. Lee in the brain parenchyma. Seizures were then induced in the animal models by electroshock to break down the barrier for albumin. Its pattern was found by Drs. Lee and Olszewski to differ from that of air embolism. Drs. P. Kung (Los Angeles), Lee, and Bakay then produced cerebral hypertension through intermittant compressions of descending air. Its effects were comparable to simple ischemia but differed from air embolism. But would either respiratory anoxia or hypoxia exert the same effect on the blood brain barrier as carotid air embolism? Drs. Bakay and Lee then used an artificial respiratory to reduce respiratory rates. By simultaneous reduction of air pressure they induced cerebral 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Students, faculty a nd community neighbors co-operated in the recycling of Christmas trees on campus Janu a ry 6 a nd 7.

The acute hypoventilation that ensued showed dramatic changes in levels of blood gases, to such that hypoxia was accompanied by hypercapnia. While such hypercapnic hypoxia did increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier in the gray matter for radioactive sodium and potassium, Drs. Bakay and Bendixen (Boston) did not find it to be the case for the protein tracers. But in later investigations Drs. Bakay and Lee found that hypoxia with acidosis produced intracellular edema in the gray matter, and intra- and extracellular edema in the white matter. But is pure hypoxia or hypercapnia the villain in the effect of hypercapnic hypoxia on blood-brain barriers? Drs. Lee, Olszewski and later Drs. Bakay and Lee then induced pure hypercapnia in their animal models by inhalation of a special gas mixture at normal respiratory rate and pressure for one to six hours. Dramatic changes in blood gas levels followed. The effect of this condition on the barrier's permeability for radioactive sodium and potassium was much milder than revealed by Drs. Bakay and Bendixen in hypercapnic hypoxia or by Drs. Lee and Olszewski for albumin solution. Using the same procedure, pure hypoxia in cats were induced by Drs. Bakay and Lee. Its effect on the blood-brain barrier was imperceptible. Even water content of the white matter remained unchanged. While only minimal swelling of perivascular astrocytic processes was revealed in the electron micrographs, distension of mitochondria with dissolution of cristae in the oligondendrocytes and some neurons was pinpointed by Drs. Bakay and Lee as the common abnormality. Findings were reinforced through electron microscopic investigations by Drs. M. Yu (New Jersey}, Bakay and Lee this year - changes mainly in the neuron and neuroglia, no detectable cerebral edema. 0 SPRING, 1973 29 �Dr. james Morkello, codirectorofthe Pediatric Nurse Practitioner training program shows judy Adornetto, RN, a student (center), how to examine a youngster's chest.

Dean Ruth McGrorey of the Nursing School pointed out that this program was endorsed by local, regional and state agencies as well as the pediatricians of Western New York. "This 16-week course will give the nurse practitioner an extended role. For example, she will be able to secure more extensive health histories, provide primary care based on special relationships with the pediatrician, plan and provide health guidance to children and their families, recognize and utilize other health and social services, provide consultation for families by home visits, office visits, or telephone. This extended role for the nurse will permit a broader use of professional personnel in appropriate health services where they have heretofore been absent." Miss O'Hara, an associate professor and chairman of the department of child health nursing, received a $308,430 grant from the Bureau of Health Manpower Education, NIH, for the three-year program. Dr. Markello is an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Medical School. Two other members of the Children's Hospital staff, Miss Pauline Keefe, director of nursing, and Dr. John Dower, professor of community pediatrics, are assisting in the new program. 0 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Tronolone Honored Dr. Daniel R. Tronolone, a 1922 medical school graduate, was honored by 200 members of the St. Francis of Assisi Parish in East Buffalo recently. "This has been my love, my interest and my life. I have no plans for retirement. With God's help, I will continue to serve those who need m·e." That is what the 77-year-old general practitioner told his friends who came to honor him. Dr. Tronolone has been serving the same community from the office that he opened in 1925. He is a charter member and former president of Mercy Hospital. "I believe the day of the general practitioner is slowly returning. We are going through the phase of the specialist, but I believe it is on the wane. Within the next five years we are going to see some marked changes in the profession," Dr. Tronolone said. Although he admits that he is semi-retired, he still manages to care for an average of 30 patients a day. And he still makes house calls. In November, 1972 Dr. Tronolone was honored for his 50 years of work by the Paccilli Club of Buffalo, a society composed exclusively of Italian-American physicians. 0 Dr. Keeney Will Receive Lucien Howe Gold Medal Dr. Arthur H. Keeney, ophthalmologist-in-chief at Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, will receive DB's Lucien Howe Gold Medal on April 12 at the Charter House Hotel. He will be the 11th person since 1930 to receive the award, named for a former UB ophthalmology professor. The medal, one of the most prestigious ophthalmology awards in the country, last was awarded in 1970, according to Dr. Thurber LeWin, chairman of the award selection committee. Dr. Algernon R. Reese of New York City is the committee's other member. Dr. Keeney will receive the medal for his work making the Philadelphia Hospital the top eye hospital in the country in the teaching and training of residents in ophthalmology. Dr. Keeney holds a medical degree from the University of Louisville School of Medicine. He also received a master's and doctor of science degree in ophthalmology from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Medicine in Philadelphia. From 1966 to 1972, Dr. Keeney was professor and chairman of the ophthalmology department at Temple University's School of Medicine. Dr. Keeney is the author of numerous articles and chapters in medical books. He is also an associate editor of the American Journal of Ophthalmology. He is on the advisory board of several national organizations concerned with vision and eye problems including the National Council to combat Blindness and the Medical Advisory Board, National Aid to the Visually Handicapped of which he is chairman. 0 SPRING, 1973 31 �36th Annual State University at Buffalo Theme: TIMELY TOPICS IN CLINICAL MEDICINE April 6 and 7, 1973 ( STATLER HILTON HOTEL Embassy Room FRIDAY, APRIL 6 9:15 a.m. Registration 9:45 a.m. Welcome: JOHN J.

It is also the headquarters of a national gynecologic oncology group. Dr. Hreshchyshyn and technician Tatjana Kry ny tzky look at HCG levels on a patient with choriocarcinoma followin g radioimmunoassay of gonadotropins. Both are headed by Dr. Myroslaw M. Hreshchyshyn, professor of gynecology and obstetrics at the University and consultant gynecologist at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. The major function of the trophoblastic neoplasia center and its laboratories, says the soft-spoken gynecologist/obstetrician, "is to help physicians in Western New York and adjacent areas in the diagnosis, treatment and followup of patients with hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma. " It was established at the Buffalo General Hospital in cooperation with the University and Roswell Park. Many of the diagnostic analyses which include quantitative radioimmunoassays for chorionic gonadotropin, radioimmunoassays and gas chromatographic determinations of estrogens, were developed by this researcher and his staff. "We are one of the first such centers in this country to perform these assays," he said. One of the most recent assays developed in this laboratory measures estetrol, an estrogen with a 95 percent fetal contribution during normal pregnancy and much lower if any levels during molar pregnancy. This assay, which helps to differentiate hydatidiform mole from that of a normal pregnancy, is now a "must" for early diagnosis of this disease. And, says the noted investigator, "it is performed on a service basis at no cost to the patient." Dr. Hreshchyshyn is also protocol chairman of an international study for trophoblastic malignancy. As such, he provides the services of his laboratory to clinical investigators in faraway lands. Specimens are sent to Buffalo via a specific method developed by the gynecologist for assaying the hormone levels from Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia and others. Choriocarcinoma, in its disseminated form was incurable until 1957. If diagnosed early and treated properly, says Dr. Hreshchyshyn, "it can now be cured with drugs." As chairman of the multimillion dollar National Cancer Institutefunded Gynecologic Oncology Group, he works with 26 leading cancer institutions in this country and several abroad. Not only does he have responsibility for this group's operations office, but the statistical center, repository for histologic materials, and radiation therapy calculations as well. All are in Buffalo. In its strictly-controlled studies, the Group uses a multidisciplinary approach through surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunology and pathology. Hopefully, says Dr. Hreshchyshyn, "it will improve the treatment results in patients with all types of gynecologic cancer. "We developed many of our own tools. We are always trying to improve on techniques now being used." And with more sophisticated procedures and equipment and learning from the cooperative effort of many investigators, the renown researcher says, "we are finding out more things which should benefit patients suffering from gynecologic cancer." 0 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Dr. Hermann Rahn, professor of physiology and former departmental chairman, has been named Distinguished Professor by the State University of New York Board of Trustees. The eighth U/B professor to be so honored, Dr. Rahn has been described as one of the pioneers in the study of the physiology of man and animals in relation to different environments. The distinguished professor title is awarded to outstanding State University of .New York scholars who have received international recognition for their research. Dr. Rahn was elected to the ational Academy of Sciences in 1968 and was honored with the Louis Mark Memorial Lecture Award by the American College of Chest Physicians in 1971. He is a consultant for the ational Aeronautic and Space Administration and the Air Force School of Aviation Medicine. A graduate of Cornell University in 1933, Dr. Rahn received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Rochester in 1938. He served as a National Research Council Fellow in Biological Sciences at Harvard University and has taught at the Universities of Wyoming and Rochester. In 1964 Dr. Rahn was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Paris; in 1965 he received an academic L.L.D. degree from Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea.

Metcalf, M'60, Mildred Spencer Mildred Spencer Wins Physicians' Medal M rLDRED SPENCER was awarded the Dr. Max Cheplove Medal of the Erie County Chapter, New York State Academy of Family Physicians for "particular and outstanding contributions to the practice of family medicine." Miss Spencer, medical reporter for the Buffalo Evening News, is the fourth person, and the first woman to receive the award. In making the presentation, Dr. Metcalf read a citation which stated in part: "We believe your writings to be informed as well as informative, constructive when possible, critical w h en necessary and representative of a high level of medical journalism. Your understanding of the future role of family physicians has created an environment in Western New York supportive of new trends in medical education and health-care delivery." On January 1 Miss Spencer retired as a full-time staff member of the Buffalo Evening News. However she will continue to write her monthly series on health problems for The News Week-End Magazine. She will also continue to do special assignment articles for various national publications. She was married to Dr. Samuel Sanes, retired professor of pathology, in 1971. She and her husband enjoy traveling. They were in Mexico during January and February. 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Miss Spencer has been a reporter for 32 years. It all began in September 1940 as a part-time worker on the society staff of the Rochester (N.Y.) Democrat & Chronicle. In January 1941 she joined The Buffalo Evening News. As men carne and went during the war she covered every beat on the paper for varying periods of time, except police. As a woman she was a pioneer in general news reporting. She also covered politics, and wrote drama and music reviews. She began covering medicine because nobody else in the office wanted the job. Immediately following World War II, the medical field became big news. There were break throughs in heart surgery and Roswell Park Memorial Institute was a focal point for cancer research. Miss Spencer reported it all, achieving an expertise that enabled her to make highly technical stories understandable to the average reader. Thus she became a pioneer woman in specialized reporting. In later years her work as a medical writer won her national acclaim. Miss Spencer was involved in a third pioneering activity specialized news programming for television.

Much has been written about Drs. Austin Flint, Frank H. Hamilton and James Platt White, but little, if anything at all, has been written in Buffalo about the first person to meet the students and teach them practical anatomy. As a matter of fact, this person, Dr. Corydon La Ford, Demonstrator of Anatomy and Librarian, was not even considered a member of the faculty. In those days, the faculty of the University of Buffalo consisted of the seven Professors who occupied the seven Chairs of the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo. Our First Teacher by Oliver P. Jones, M.D. Distinguished Professor of Anatomy The Buffalo Medical Journal for 1847 tells about the lecture session commencing on 24 February 1847. Some interested party made a marginal note in pencil about the sixty students being present! The Annual Announcement for 1846 reads: The Dissecting Rooms will be opened on Wednesday, four weeks preceding the commencement of Medical Lectures, under the care of the Demonstrator and will continue open during the whole term. This places the opening session of the University of Buffalo on Wednesday, 27 January 1847. The Annual Announcement also says : Demonstrator's ticket $5.00. No extra charge will be made for fuel, light, servants' hire, or any of the usual contingencies of the dissecting rooms. Our first teacher, Corydon La Ford, was born near Lexington, Greene County, ew York, 29 August 1813. He was the seventh lineal descendant of William Ford who emigrated from England on the ship Fortune, which was the second vessel that brought passengers to New England, landing at Plymouth, Massachusetts, November 1621. He was raised on a farm but early in life he was stricken with infantile paralysis in the lower limbs. This , of course, rendered him unfit for manual labor but gave him more time for study. When he was eight years old his father was stricken with acute rheumatism. Eventually the two invalids went about with horse and wagon selling supplies to farmers in order to support the family and maintain a mortgage on the farm. Young Ford began his life-work in teaching at the early age of seventeen and for eight years taught in common schools, the intervals of teaching being spent in studying medicine in the office of Dr. A. B. Brown, Somerset, Niagara County and then for four years in the office of Dr. Caleb Hill, Medina, Orleans County. In May 1838 he entered Canandaigua Academy where he completed his general education. One day Ford had an aching tooth and sought relief from Dr. Edson Carr, leading practitioner and dentist of Canandaigua. This was a most fortunate meeting because Dr. Carr not only befriended him while at school but introduced him to Geneva Medical College where Ford supported himself by serving as librarian and curator of the museum. Ford attracted the attention of Dr. James Webster, then Professor of Anatomy at Geneva, and on the day of his graduation in 1842 he was appointed Demonstrator of Anatomy, a position which he held until 1848. Eight days after his graduation, he performed his first surgical operation, which was for strabismus. 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �In 1846 when the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo was organized, Dr. James Webster was appointed Professor of General and Special Anatomy, and Dr. Corydon La Ford was appointed Demonstrator of Anatomy and Librarian. (Apparently Ford shortened his name after leaving Buffalo.) He taught anatomy at both Geneva and Buffalo until 1848. The first class at the University of Buffalo was so impressed by their teacher that they drafted resolutions which were published in the Buffalo Medical Journal (3: 55-56, 1847) and are copied here in their entirety. Resolutions complimentary to Corydon La Ford, M.D., Demonstrator of Anatomy in the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo. We (Austin Flint, editor) take pleasure in complying with the request to insert the following resolutions of the class now in attendance at the Medical College of this city. At a meeting of the class, Medical Department University of Buffalo, held April 21, 1847, John M. Hardy was called to the chair, and S. A. Foss elected Secretary. On motion, Messrs. Cory, Ely, White, Foss and Hardy, were appointed a Committee to draft Resolutions expressing the sentiments of the Class, in regard to the Anatomical Demonstrations, and Recapitulatory Lectures just completed by Corydon La Ford, M.D. The Committee reported the following Resolutions, which were unanimously adopted. Resolved, That the able, interesting, and highly instructive course of Anatomical Lectures and Demonstrations, recently concluded by Dr. Corydon La Ford, meets the entire approbation of the Class; and, that the signal ability with which he imparted to us his scientific, and minute researches, excite our highest admiration. Resolved, That as a Demonstrator of Anatomy, Dr. La Ford, is, in our opinion, unsurpassed by any of his age and experience; and in wishing him a more extended field of usefulness and influence we could not ask any which he does not merit. Resolved, That the members of the Class entertain for Dr. La Ford the most profound esteem, for his scientific attainments; that they not only admire his zeal and industry in the prosecution of his favorite science, but, also, for those moral qualities of the heart, which shine forth so conspicuously in his character. Resolved, That Dr. La Ford for his courteous and gentlemanly deportment, to us individually and collectively, merits our warmest thanks, and best wishes; and that he shall ever receive from us the tribute due from grateful hearts. On motion of Mr. Blake- Resolved, that a copy of the proceedings of this meeting be forwarded to Dr. La Ford, and that they be published in "The Buffalo Medical Journal and Monthly Review of Medical and Surgical Science",- and in "The New York Journal of Medicine and Collateral Sciences." J. M. HARDY, President Sidney A. Foss, Secretary SPRI G, 1973 39 �Dr. Dan iel C. Fish er, M '24 , Mr. Charles K . Infantino, Dr. A. Arthur Graba u, M'45 Two alumni received Erie County Health Department Health Department awards recently from Commissioner William E. Mosher. The Dana B. Hellings Award, named for the attorney who was first president of the County Board of Health, was presented to Dr. Fisher, who served in that capacity from 1959 to 1971 and is the only original member still active. The Outstanding Program Award was won by the Division of Tuberculosis Control , headed by Dr. Grabau. The Individual Service Award was presented to Charles K. Infantino, senior sanitarian, who is responsible for home-inspection programs in Buffalo and Lackawanna and acts as supervising sanitarian for two district health offices. He remained in Buffalo until 1851, but in 1849 was also appointed Professor of Anatomy at Castleton Medical College, Vermont, a position which he retained until 1861. From 1852-54 he was Professor of Anatomy at Syracuse Dental College. On 2 7 May 1854, while visiting his friend, Dr. Carr in Canandaigua, he received notice of his appointment as Professor of Anatomy at the University of Michigan, a position which he held for forty years. During vacations he gave courses of lectures at other schools: in the Berkshire Medical College, Pittsfield, Mass. from 1860 to 1867; in Bowdoin College, Maine, from 1864 to 1870; and in Long Island College Hospital, Brooklyn, from 1868 to 1886. If we examine this record and realize that Anatomy (gross) was taught chiefly by lectures, Ford, because he was a peripatetic teacher devoted to his subject and needed the money (5 to 10 dollars per student) taught two or three courses a year at different schools, alone had completed 109 courses in anatomy the day before he died. Probably no other professor in a medical school in the United States during that period has given instruction to so many students. 40 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Ford was five feet ten inches tall, had dark hair, a large head and prominent features. He walked with canes. He used the Socratic method of teaching by raising questions and answering them - a method he developed to the highest degree. He excited interest in students and kept them interested. He caused the dead to teach the living how to heal the sick. In 1860 the Regents of the University of Michigan decided to combine the teaching of physiology with the chair of anatomy and Ford was appointed Professor of Anatomy and Physiology, with a salary of $1000. The Regents later recognized the importance of teaching histology by lectures and in the laboratory they appointed Ford in 1869 Curator of the Museum and Instructor in Microscopy, which indeed broadened the teaching function of the Department of Anatomy. In 1859 Middlebury College, Vermont, gave him his M.A. and in recognition of the great service rendered in building up the Medical Department, the University of Michigan honored him with the degree of LL.D. in 1881. In April1863 he married Mrs. Messer of Pittsfield, Massachusetts and they adopted a daughter. Mrs. Ford died less than a year before Dr. Ford died from apoplexy on 14 April 1894 at Ann Arbor, Michigan. D References 1. Howard A. Kelley and Walter L.

Atwell (1889-1941) first full-time professor of anatomy at the University of Buffalo. Dr. Atwell received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1917 and had seen this motto at a similar location there. It is too bad the University of Buffalo did not preserve this when it moved the School of Medicine in 1953. �Dr. Schnatz A Model Ambulatory Service for the Diabetic Patient Coordination. That is the key to an excellent program in ambulatory care for the diabetic patient at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. Says its head, Dr. J. David Schnatz, "by coordinating the many services available to the diabetic, we are better able to help him accept and manage his disorder." But that, pointed out the young and dedicated associate professor of medicine, focuses on education. Not only for the patient and his family, he continued, but education for the professionals- physician, public health nurse, housestaff, and medical student -with whom the patient will come into contact. And, reminds Dr. Schnatz, to teach effectively, you must have a quality care facility. In remodeling the clinic, the clinician/ researcher/teacher sought a pattern that would not only stress continuity of care and allow sufficient time for the patient and his problems, but in its teaching program to also leave adequate time in which to discuss the mechanisms of the disease. How successful has he been? Dr. Schnatz feels that patients have benefited. An evaluation (in collaboration with Dr. Harry Sultz and Mrs. Alene Van Son, R.N.) has been set up to correlate knowledge gained by the patient and his attitude/behavior/well being. A weekly conferen ce ta caardina te acti vities i n th e d iabetes teaching service helps make the program effective. 42 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The number of patients referred to the clinic - a problem oriented one - must be limited due to the demands in time for good quality patient care and teaching. Patients do receive continuity of .care. Drs. Schnatz and Constantine Chlouverakis (who assists him) each has his own group of patients. Even though a patient may have been seen by one of the housestaff, "we also try to see our own patients when they are in the clinic," Dr. Schnatz says. "For we want to develop a good patient/doctor relationship. Even after the patient is no longer seen in the diabetes clinic - he is doing well and is referred back to his primary physician - he will be followed up by our nursing service." Leaving plenty of time in which to review patient problems and discussing them with the patient as well as housestaff is now possible through improved scheduling and patient review by both physician and nurse. This also helps to identify chronic failures in the clinic. In its followup, the team attempts to pinpoint the causes for these failures. Patients arrive early in the clinic to have fasting blood sugars drawn by finger prick test. In just minutes, the analysis is completed in the clinic's laboratory (set up by the hospital's chemistry department under the aegis of Drs. Max Chilcote and Desider A. Pragay). Test results are then at the physician's fingertips when he reviews medication with the patient. The patient then eats his 'breakfast - in the clinic if he has brought it with him - or in the hospital coffee shop. He takes his insulin and gets a digestion blood sugar drawn. If an afternoon sample is needed he stays and has it done in the clinic as well. And if there is a problem, he can see his physician. Routinely the patient will be seen by the diabetes teaching service nurse and dietician, a podiatrist assigned to the clinic (there is a great deal of pathology in the feet and both patient/physician must be alerted to it). For the patient who is pregnant there are the services of an obstetrician who comes to the clinic as needed. And an ophthalmologist and psychiatrist routinely attend. Thus, there is not only continuity of care but a great saving in time for the patient who must try to live as normal a life as possible and for the physician who wants to help him to do so. SPRI G, 1973 A patient receives foot core from Dr. Edward Fishman , a podiatrist. Dr. Schnatz recognized a need to provide specialized nursing service to the diabetic patient. From this developed a joint department of medicine/nursing approach to patient education. The best type of program for each patient (individual or class) is planned by both nurse and dietician assigned to the service under Dr. Schnatz' guidance. Drs. Schnatz and Andrew Scoma , research assistant instructor in medicine, discuss a patient. �Dr. Schnatz chats with two fourth year medical students, Jon Rubach and Michael Savona. The students are on elective rotation. Miss Patricia Tracy, a dietician with the diabetes teaching service, conducts group discussions. A patient signs in at the clinic with Mrs. Mary Ross and Dr. James Scovil, a medical resident on elective rotation. 44 The diabetes teaching service becomes a "second home" for the patient. Here he is taught the rules, tools, and skills to help him control his disorder. He learns about diet, insulin administration, urine testing and about diabetes itself. A manual, "Diabetes in a utshell," prepared and illustrated by urse Alene Van Son under Dr. Schnatz' direction, tells the patient what to do when he is sick, aspects of general hygiene, foot care, and the telephone numbers that will be important to him - 911 and the teaching service extension. With a few rules, the patient learns how he can live a normal life by applying what he learns. If there are still problems, the patient is encouraged to call, to talk them over. "The lines of communication are always open," Dr. Schnatz says. There are also conferences for public health nurses who will visit patients in their homes. Here, also, communication has improved and they now know who to call, says Dr. Schnatz. Through an elective program with the endocrine unit, medical students, housestaff, and fellows rotate through the diabetes unit where they are THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �exposed to diabetes teaching service and the practical aspects of diabetes. On consultations, Dr. Schnatz stresses to physicians and nurses the care and teaching of the diabetic patient. Research also plays an important role in the team approach to the care of the diabetic. Drs. Schnatz and Jean Cortner utilize a biochemical approach to human adipose tissue in order to better understand the aspects of its regulation in relation to obesity and diabetes. Some studies planned by Drs. Schnatz and Chlouverakis on patients in the obesity clinic may develop additional insight into diabetes as well. The two investigators are also at work on hyperlipoidemia of experimental diabetes. Studies have been published by Dr. Schnatz in collaboration with Drs. Lee Bernardis, Lawrence Frohman, and Jack Goldman on metabolic abnormalities associated with hypothalamic obesity. This model ambulatory service for the diabetic, Dr. Schnatz believes, has had a positive effect on the patient. "Our diabetes teaching service has been instrumental in initiating other teaching services. There is a need for the development of more units like this," Dr. Schnatz said. 0 Q /1 Mrs. Allene Von Son , RN, gives bedside instruction to a patient from her own booklet, " Diabetes in a Nut Sh ell. " She is coordinator of th e diabetes tea chin g servi ce. Miss Barbara Geuting, RN, illustrates a point. Mrs. Evelyn Thorn, RN, takes a blood sample from a pati ent while Mrs. Martha Molner, lab technician, analyzes the blood immediately. SPRING, 1973 45 �Dr. Varco Dies Suddenly Dr. Samuel Varca, M'23 The chairman of the 50-year class reunion died suddenly January 17 in his home in Pompano Beach, Florida. He was Dr. Samuel Varco, 72, a retired Buffalo physician and surgeon. He was known for his developments of techniques for treatment of lower back ailments. Dr. Varco practiced nearly 50 years, before his retirement in 1960. He moved to Florida five years ago. Dr. Varco received his bachelor's and medical [1 923) degrees from VB. He also studied at the Royal University of Hungary. He served in the United States Army in World War I, and was named to the State Legislative Cancer Survey Commission in 1936. He was active in several professional and civic organizations. D Pelvic Traction Belt A 1923 Medical School graduate is pleased with the acceptance of his special pelvic traction belt. Dr. Samuel Varco, a semi-retired Buffalo physician has been interested in lower back pain and how to relieve it for 20 years. In 1969 Dr. Varco made the first modification of his traction device. He has traveled world-wide and visited hospitals in Europe, Canada, and the United States demonstrating his pelvic traction technique for the treatment of low back syndrome. The device is easily applied and tolerated by the patient. It accomplishes everything that is hoped for in leg traction and brings about maximal results in a much higher percentage of cases. With pelvic traction the patient is comfortable and cooperative, and there is free movement of the lower extremities, according to Dr. Varco. Several hundred patients have been treated in hospitals and at home for various types of low back injuries - slipped disks, fractures of the pelvis, and fractures of the lumbar vertebrae. Approximately 90 per cent claimed improvement. Freedom from pain within a matter of hours was recorded in many instances, and in a very high percentage of cases, patients were able to return to work in three to four weeks. "All that is claimed for the method is that it does everything expected of leg traction but does it more efficiently and with more certain results," Dr. Varco said. D 46 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Sound Waves Solve Pregnancy Ills A 1943 Medical School graduate is using sound waves as a diagnostic tool for problems during pregnancy. Dr. Joseph J. Ricotta, assistant clinical instructor in medicine, has been using a machine called Sonograf in his office during the last year. It is a compound scanning device that measures normal and abnormal structures in the body through ultrasonic waves that have no adverse effects on the tissue being studied. Dr. Ricotta and his associate, Dr. Rolando T. Velasquez, spoke about their use of the machine recently at a conference at Sisters Hospital. "The ultrasonic technique, as used in medical diagnosis, is still in relative infancy. But it is extremely accurate and because it is a non-invasive technique, can be done any number of times, with no hazard to either the woman or the unborn child," Dr. Ricotta said. "Fetal growth can be monitored as early as five weeks from the time of conception," Dr. Ricotta said, noting that the most routine use of the machine is in making the diagnosis of a normal pregnancy. "But it is when complications arise that it renders the most valuable assistance. We have been able to measure and monitor the growth and development of the unborn baby when there is an unfavorable environment in the uterus such as toxemia or a mother's diabetic condition. In some cases we may decide to deliver the baby ahead of the full-term pregnancy." Now he said, we are able to determine "with great accuracy" the weight and size of the baby to decrease the risk of before-term delivery. Also the machine is helping in problems of bleeding associated with pregnancy, and multiple pregnancies -twins and triplets - have been determined. "The machine has been a great help in localizing the placenta and in deciding on when to do Caesarean sections," Dr. Ricotta said. In gynecology it is of value in detecting pelvic tumors. The difference between cysts and solid tumors can be very accurately demonstrated. The scanning is also a means of measuring the effectiveness of radium and chemotherapy used to control malignancies, he concluded. 0 SPRI G, 1973 47 �Around the clock observation by the staff of 40 nurses and four house physicians in the intensive core nursery.

If we get the babies soon enough we succeed." That is what Dr. George Giacoia said about the new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Children's Hospital. This new health service includes a traveling workshop on neonatal care and a "hat-line" consultation service for the treatment of new barns. About 4 per cent of the babies born need this special care. A team consisting of the neonatologist and nurse will visit each participating hospital throughout the year, conducting education workshops for physicians and nurses caring for the newborn. The 24-hour .phone consul- tation service will enable doctors at participating hospitals to talk with a neonatologist at Children's when a newborn has a problem. "During 1972 we had 348 babies in our unit at Children's. We can accommodate 30 at one time and the average stay is seven to 15 days," Dr. Giacoia said. He is director of the unit and on the Medical School faculty. This new health service is available on request for pediatricians, general practitioners and nurses in Western ew York and Northwestern Pennsylvania. The unit is funded by the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program. D Dr. Tai-soon Choi demonstrates the blood oxygen monitoring system for the new barns. He is the assistant clinical professor of pediatrics and assistant director of the unit. �Students Honor Dr. Frawley Dr. Thomas F. Frawley, M'44, received the "outstanding teacher award" from the 1972 graduating class of the St. Louis University Medical School for his "excellent teaching." Dr. Frawley, who has been professor and chairman of the department of medicine at St. Louis University for 10 years, has requested a leave on September 1 to devote full time to teachjng, research, patients and writing. He will continue to serve as professor of internal medicine and head of the section of endocrinology. He is also physician-in-chief at the St. Louis University Hospitals and a member of the attending staff at St. Mary's Health Center. Dr. Frawley organized the internal medicine department into several sections - arthritis, cardiology and pulmonary diseases, endocrinology, hematology, infectious diseases, experimental medicine, nutrition and renal diseases. As Governor for Missouri in the College of Physicians, Dr. Frawley has dealt with several aspects of the practice of medicine and the continuing education and training of internists. He was responsible for the development of learning opportunities for young physicians and has assisted hundreds of them in acquiring membership in the American College of Physicians. Dr. Frawley will play a key role in the planning and development of a special diagnostic treatment center of the St. Louis Veterans Administration Hospital. This center will be especially supportive of studies on endocrine and metabolic problems relating to alcoholism, drug abuse and aging. The hospital is affiliated with the Medical School. Dr. Frawley The noted endocrinologist has made major contributions in the treatment of diseases of the adrenal gland, thyroid disorders and diabetes mellitus. He has published extensively on diseases of the pituitary and adrenal cortex and their clinical management. He is the co-author of a book, The Adrenal Cortex, which is a compilation of contributions by outstanding people in the fields of adrenal cortex, physiology and biochemistry. Dr. Frawley has been consultant for the Research Program Committee, Veterans Administration Central Office, Washington, from 1965 to present and consultant for the VA Endocrine Cooperative Study Committee from 1961 to present. He also served on the Drug Efficacy Study Panel of the National Academy of Sciences from 1966 to 1967 and was chairman, Metabolism and Endocrine System Research Evaluation Committee, Veterans Administration Research Service, VACO, Washington, D.C., from 1969 to 1971. Born in Rochester, ew York, Dr. Frawley earned the A.B. degree at the University of Rochester in 1941 and the M.D. degree at U.B. Following his internship at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester, he took his residency in medicine at Buffalo General Hospital. He was a research fellow in medicine at Harvard Medical School and an assistant in medicine at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston from 1949-1951. He began his teaching career at Albany Medical College in 1951 and was named professor of medicine and head of the subdepartment of endocrinology and metabolism there in 1959. He was a staff member at NIH from 1955-1957. He joined the St. Louis University School of Medicine faculty in 1963. 50 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Frawley is a member of numerous research societies including the Association of American Physicians, the American Diabetes Association, the American Clinical and Climatological Association, Sigma Xi, and the American Thyroid Association. He also holds membership in various professional societies including the American College of Physicians (Fellow), and the American Board of Internal Medicine. Dr. Frawley has served as a visiting professor at a number of institutions including the State University of ew York Downstate Medical Center College of Medicine, Henry Ford Hospital, Oklahoma School of Medicine, the University of California in San Francisco, the Albany Medical College and the University of Buffalo School of Medicine. Dr. Frawley received an honor award from his classmates at the University of Buffalo at the time of his visiting professorship. He is a member of Alpha Omega Alpha honor medical society. Dr. Frawley is married and has three children. 0 Local Agencies Can Improve Health Care The quality of health care delivery cannot be effectively improved by a Washington decree, according to HEW Secretary Elliot L. Richardson. Since speaking to the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program workshop, Mr. Richardson has become Secretary of Defense. "There is no way in which federal bureaucrats can know enough about the capabilities of existing components of the health delivery system in any community to know how to fit them together. The initiative for this and the exercise of carrying it out must be in the local community and regional hands." The secretary urged local health agencies and organizations to participate in joint efforts and to communicate with one another. "If we are to achieve an adequate network of services we must improve our planning capacity at the community level. We must build from the community level up rather than imposing solutions from the top down." The Secretary warned that time was running out and the public is insisting on better health care services. We must prove that private and voluntary efforts, with an assist from Washington, can improve the delivery of health care. 0 SPRING, 1973 51 �., Dr. Chlouverakis (center) joins in discussion of patient's eating habits with Dr. Schnatz (left) and dietician Patricia Tracey (right). First Obesity Clinic B ETTER WAYS TO TREAT as well as prevent obesity may result from studies underway in Western ew York's first obesity clinic. Here, a limited number of extremely obese patients are being investigated by a team headed by Dr. C. Chlouverakis, in their program of care for the overtly obese patient, the team hopes to determine factors that make certain ones lose weight. And in what they believe to be largely a genetic disease, the investigators want to determine the number and size of fatty or adipose cells that each patient's body contains. In the obesity clinic, opened about eight months ago, referral patients are given a basic screening test. "We want to rule out any endocrine or metabolic abnormalities as the culprit for obesity," Dr. Chlouverakis said. The patient is then measured anthropometrically. Future plans call for somatotyping for all patients seen. A detailed dietary history is recorded by clinic dietician. And the patient is asked to scrupulously record all food and beverage intake for a week. A program of care is then planned for the patient by the team. "We are now ready to study whole families," the associate professor of medicine said. "But we will work only with patients whose siblings and parents are available for study and consultation. Psychological as well as social studies are planned for children and adolescents. 52 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �There are two kinds of obesity. The first is genetically determined. It begins early in life and is characterized by an increased number of fat cells. Four out of five obese children fall into this category. Once an excessive number of fat cells is formed, dietary manipulation will not help. The other kind of obesity is "regulatory," where psychological factors are responsible, and it appears later in life. This kind of obesity, Dr. Chlouverakis feels, can be treated by manipulating external or behavioral conditions of the obese patient. In his investigations Dr. Chlouverakis has concentrated on an animal model of obesity- the obese hyperglycemic mouse. "Some people are born to have a higher level of fat in their body," he said. These will eat compulsively until they reach the level of fatness dictated by their genes. Although the Greek-born and England-educated (Guy's Hospital; Medical Research Council of Great Britain where he worked with Nobel Laureate Ernst Chain; he also studied under Dr. Ancel Keys, an authority on fat mt:tabolism) physician believes that this predetermined tendency is brain-based (a signal in the hypothalamus) and it can be modified by modifying behavior or by manipulating metabolic parameters. During the dynamic phase of growth of an animal (positive energy balance) fat is laid down in the body. During the next phase, known as static and when most adults are obese, the energy balance is zero. In this phase the patient need not overeat. Explained Dr. Chlouverakis, caloric restriction "energizes" eating behavior and when an animal resumes normal feeding it quickly puts on the weight it lost through dieting. On caloric restriction, the genetically-obese mice lose neither less nor more body mass than the lean ones. However, they can develop their fatness without overeating so that other factors contribute to their obesity says Dr. Chlouverakis. There may be an increase in useful energy of food captured, a decrease in energy expenditures or both. "We can estimate the amount of adipose or fatty tissue by skinfold thickness measurements and in conjunction with normograms we can estimate the amount of fat in the body. We can also estimate the number and size of fat cells in the body," he said. But important is the need to reevaluate scientifically body weight desirable or ideal for our population in lieu of the outmoded, unscientific, and very conservative estimates now being used, the investigator feels. Surgical aspects of obesity will also be looked into with surgeons Gerard Burns and Richard Williams. One such treatment has been the removal of part of the lower intestine. Although Dr. Chlouverakis believes that this operation is moderately successful he considers it too "destructive" to be applied "routinely" in the treatment of obesity. "We need more constructive behavior modification for the obese patient, more intensive therapy with psychotherapists and psychologists over a period of years. We are hoping to do this and we improve as we go along. We try to keep our research going as well," Dr. Chlouverakis said. The study of obesity is a part of the department of medicine's diabetes program that is headed by Dr. J. David Schnatz, associate professor of medicine. 0 SPRING, 1973 53 Dr. Chlouverakis measures the thickness of a patient's adipose tissue in the obesity clinic. �Physiology Chairman Dr. Rennie Dr. Donald W.

We have a strong commitment to seeing that all of you have a meaningful education.'' That is what Dean LeRoy A. Pesch told the 126th medical class at orientation. "The Medical School offers you many opportunities and a tremendous challenge. This is a very exciting time for health care. The Medical School has a responsibility to society, and each of you share this responsibility. "This Medical School has changed from a rigid to a more flexible program. We have student participation in our Medical School, but we need more. We hope each of you find an appropriate career as it relates to health care. We have the 16th largest medical center in the nation. We have many city and regional commitments, and work through five affiliated hospitals and 60 community health care agencies," Dean Pesch said. Speaking for the President's office, Dr. Lawrence A. Cappiello challenged the 1975 class to " solve the riddles of health care in this nation.'' He also urged the students to become involved in all aspects of University life. The Assistant to the Executive Vice President of the University told the students that the Medical School had skillfully integrated the basic science and clinicaldepartments. " Some 800 practicing physicians in this community will be working with you during the next four years.'' Dr. Cappiello quoted figures from a recent AMA survey that showed the average physician makes $35,510 annually; that of the 334,028 physicians in the country, 278,350 are involved primarily in direct patient care, 12 ,000 in administration, 12,000 in research, and 5,500 in teaching. �Selecting the 120 members of the 1975 class was a long, time consuming process that involved many people and hundreds of man-woman hours. The accompanying chart tells the story. Number of Applications Received Number of Interviews Number of Students Accepted Number of Students who Registered .......................... women ...................... minorities .................. 1,990 406 141 85 357 106 43 20 94 58 35 15 TOTAL ................. 2,441 570 219 120 men Dr. Aquilina The 1975 Medical Class put its diagnostic expertise on the line during orientation. The MC for the two-hour program at the Veterans Administration Hospital was Dr. Joseph Aquilina, clinical professor of medicine. The 120 new students asked questions and made excellent diagnoses based on personal history taking_ from two patients. "Our purpose today is to prove that interviewing a patient can lead to an accurate diagnosis without laboratory tests and X-rays," Dr. Aquilina said. The students learned fast and asked many excellent and penetrating questions. They learned the importance of name, age, and occupation as well as the patient's personal habits-eating, drinking, sleeping, recreation. Patient X had chronic diarrhea for 20 or 25 years. He had two jobs - substitute teachWINTER, 1971 al the VA hospilal er and salesman, was single, served in the South Pacific during World War II, and appeared healthy. The students established that his financial situation was good, that he worked irregular hours and really didn't like teaching. He was a moderate smoker, and didn't drink. Coffee bothered him, so he drank Sanka. The diagnosis: chronic colitis. Patient Y was 48 years old, unemployed and an excessive drinker by his own admission. He came to the hospital because of no appetite and a loss of weight. "I wanted to live," he said. He had been a construction worker, was divorced and had two hernias. He also had swelling - abdominal and the legs from the knees down. Hepatitis was a possible diagnosis, so was heart or kidney disease. But in the final analysis it was cirrhosis of the liver .0 3 �House Staff Graduation One hundred thirty physicians and five dentists received their "certificates" at the fourth annual University housestaff program graduation at Kleinhans Music Hall. The 43 interns and 92 residents completed some phase of their training at one of four University affiliated hospitals-Buffalo General, E. J. Meyer Memorial, Veterans or Children's Hospitals.

In that context I have been struggling to remember-as a veteran of a number of commencements-what surviving inspirations were provided for me on comparable occasions. Unhappily, I cannot for the life of me remember who made the addresses, nor what they said. Perhaps I was preoccupied. Perhaps they did not communicate. In any event, times have changed and those were addresses delivered in the dear dead days-happily beyond recall. Of course it is enchanting to reflect that for those of you who will be doing some comparable chore thirty years hence the good old days are now. Nonetheless, there should be some distillations from the experience of over thirty years in medical practice which could, if well presented, be of value. In any event, it is my obligation to try. I shall not try to test my mettle with you on the score of scientific medicine. It is said, in one of those unassailable and unprovable statistics, that the body of scientific knowledge doubles every 10 years. This merely means that for you the next thirty years of struggling to stay abreast are destined to be tougher than mine which, as Aesculapius is my judge, have been tough enough. WINTER, 1971 5 This is the address given by Dr. Roth at the fourth annual Housestaff Graduation. Dr. Roth is attending urologist and chief of the department of urology at Erie, Pennsylvania's St. Vincent Hospital. He is past president of the Erie County Medical Society, past chairman of the Board of Trustees of Pennsylvania Medical Society, and past speaker of the AMA House of Delegates. He is also a member of the National Advisory Council of the Regional Medical Program, HEW. �I shall really not even dwell on the noble heritage of the medical profession which is so commonly the theme of commencement addresses. I hope that most of you have been interested to some degree in the history of medicine. If a knowledge of history does nothing more it can make you feel a bit superior in recognizing that from the days of Hippocrates under his plane tree, to the days of Benjamin Rush, bleeding his patients of precious blood, and purging them to the verge of extinction, physicians had extraordinarily little to give to their patients that would pass today as good medicine. And to this I would only add that if you feel that you have learned valued skills, and know of great and good things to do for the patients who will be besieging you, you may look to the physicians, the researchers, the faculty, to many of those who share this occasion with you as being the ones who broke the shackles of the centuries and developed the skills, the drugs, the diagnostics which have been passed on to you for further refinement and application. This is not spoken so much in defense of the "establishment" as it is to point out to you that the reason you are as helpless as Hippocrates was to cure the common cold or to prevent the birth of a Mongolian idiot is not your shortcoming, but simply due to the fact that your immediate predecessers haven't been as successful there as they have been in the control of plague and pestilence, the excision of diseased organs, and the development of physiologically active drugs. For the purposes of this address I leave the accomplishments of your forbearers to you, secure in the knowledge that you will use them well, and expedite their obsolescence. What I do want to explore with you is the matter of the individual and collective responsibilities of members of the medical profession, not so much in the field of diagnosis and therapy as in respect to overall societal obligations. Time was when a young physician graduated from medical school, gave testimony to his competence in passing assorted examinations for licensure or recognition as a specialist, and then devoted himself rather exclusively to taking care of patients. So long as he did this in good conscience he was a physician beyond reproach. Today this would not seem to be so. Professional isolationism is under attack. Even beyond this, professional self-determinism is under attack. If a preponderance of you are going into general surgery, because you want to be surgeons, I can only remind you that the executive president of the American Hospital Association has said that in this country if we had half as many surgeons we would have half as many problems. If a substantial number of you intend to remain in teaching or research, or administration I can only point out that Congress has been forcefully told that although we are producing doctors in this country at a rate exceeding the growth of the general population we are actually falling still further behind in the production of physicians who are performing the primary job of taking care of people. And for those of you who are indeed going out into the clinical practice of medicine the questions may be even more numerous and more pointed. You 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �are so ordering your lives that you shall see a fascinating mix of persons - the well, the worried well, the early sick and the sick. You will elicit histories, do physical examinations, prescribe medicines, order hospitalizations, exercise an assortment of diagnostic and therapeutic skills. You will do good - great and abiding good, and of course you will have your frustrations, failures, and perhaps you will even make a mistake here and there. You will do that which you want to do, and that which you are trained to do, and very possibly through an exercise of intelligence and initiative you will improve on both. But is this enough? I think you will find that the verdict of contemporary society is that this is not nearly enough. As a physician you are a member of what is still recognized to be a great and reasonably honored profession. Medicine has not yet been demeaned to the status of a technical trade as it is in Russia where societal responsibilities have all been transferred to the State. Your profession, collectively, has obligations to society - many major obligations. And unfortunately these obligations come nowhere close to being met by the discharge of the sum of individual obligations as perceived by individual physicians. For the purposes of the argument let me assume that each responsible physician espouses the idea that in his hospital there is a genuine necessity for surveillance as to the quality of the professional work done, the character of the records, the appropriateness of the surgery, and the efficiency of the utilization of the facilities. Perhaps some of your work is not done in the hospital, but in the privacy of your office or clinic. Yet you admit that the public which pays for your service, the government which increasingly contributes to that payment, and the insurance company which assumes some of the obligation, all of these are entitled to some assurance of the integrity and competence of the work done, and the equity of the charges made. Let me go even further away from your personal practice. Let me assume that you recognize that there are those in the vast public who are ignorant of the benefits of scientific medicine, or who put their trust in Chiropractic, or faith healers, or grandma's home remedies. You know they need to be taught the truth. You recognize that accidents - preventable occurrencesaccount for the largest number of deaths in the population under the age of 37. You freely admit that it would be vastly superior to bring into this world healthy babies, and in general to keep well people well, than it is to try to patch up the ravages of disabilities, deficiencies, and disease. You develop convictions that you, and those like you, function most productively in an atmosphere of self determinism, free to do those things you know to be, or feel to be the best for those who are in your charge - as opposed to authoritarian mandates as to what types of cook-book procedures you may employ. You know that medical services must be available to our people during nights, weekends, holidays and without reference to ability to pay. You know deep in your heart that someone must be responsive to all those societal demands. But what is your personal capacity to be WINTER, 1971 7 �The Burn Treatment Center exhibit placed second at Spring Clinical Days. Sponsors were Drs. Joseph M. Anain, Louis C. Cloutier, Anthony L. Manzella, Samuel Militello, William F. Riley and Sidney M. Schaer of Emergency Hospital. The Lymphography exhibit sponsored by Drs. Victor A. Panaro, Eugene V. Leslie, Edward G. Eschner and George J. Alker, Jr., of the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital placed third. Genetics and Community Health in American Indians by Mrs. Gillian B. lngall of the Medical Genetics Unit, Department of Medicine, won honorable mention. The winning exhibit, Angiograms in Renal Diseases was pictured in the Fall issue of this magazine. 0 responsive? I submit that it is very small. My major question, then, is •'What does the responsible individual physician do to meet the collective societal demands which are heaped upon his profession?" There are those who say "To Hell with them. I'm doing all I can.'' There are those who say ''Okay, but someone else has got to come up with the answers.'' Occasionally there is someone who says "Sure, just listen to me. I have all the answers." But I think you will realize that these are generally unhelpful attitudes. The cliche' in this respect is that no man is an island. In fact, cliche's abound in this area-United we stand, divided we fall-All for one and one for all-and perhaps most appropriately "Illegitimi non carborundun," because if you are ground down you haven't contributed much. I once started to construct a fable about the witch doctor, well versed in all the incantations, ceremonial dances, and very good on brewing potions. He put down all the competition and took on all the problems single-handed for a long time, but finally the tribal council and a few consumer groups began to prevail. He was called on for 24-hour service, classes in health education, and a reduction in expenditures for his elaborate masks. They demanded that he immediately start training several assistants and a couple of successors. Then they began holding legislative hearings on how to remodel his practice. Finally, being driven to decisive action, the old witch doctor, conjured up some especially powerful spirits, rubbed all his amulets, and turned himself into a County Medical Society. It really wasn't a bad solution. Originally, of course, County Medical Societies weren't for this purpose at all. They had little reference to community or societal obligations. In the day of slow and dubious communication, before the era of seminars, symposia, taped lectures, refresher courses, and the deluge of printed journals, reviews, and throw-away literature, the County Medical Society served as a quasi-social organization holding meetings at which physicians could gather to discuss mutual problems, compare cases, and hear an occasional lecture from someone in authority. They were thus in 1903 when Sir William Osler spoke in their behalf. Only gradually did they become receptors for the profession, end-organs sensitive to demands which could not be met by individual physicians, but which might be met by collective organization. Gradually they banded into State Medical Societies, for the assumption of even broader responsibilities, and finally into The American Medical Association. The occasional human being is a recluse. By and large, however, man is a gregarious animal. He likes to form clubs, societies and organizations. When confronted with a problem he responds by forming a committee. Our present predicament in respect to health care services has brought this human response to a high degree of complicated development. Great organizations have designated their committees to cope with the situation. The American Hospital Association, American Medical Association, Health Insurance Association of America, and others have had their caucuses and have formulated their plans. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has had its committee, Governor Rockefeller 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �has had a blue ribbon committee of industrialists tangling with our social problems, and there have been politically inspired labor backed committees such as the Committee of One Hundred for National Health Insurance. There have been new groups, such as the Citizens Board of Inquiry Into Health Services for Americans. Ralph Nader has unleashed a special study committee in behalf of consumers, and there are radical groups such as Health-PAC (Policy Advisory Committee], and less radical groups such as The Medical Committee for Human Rights and Physicians Forum. There are conservative groups such as the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, The Congress of County Medical Societies, and The Council of Hospital Staff Physicians, or something of the sort. In short there is a slot for everyone. And the basic reason that such organizations exist is because as individuals recognize obligations beyond their individual capacities to assume they seek collective action. Most committees, however, meet, report, and feel that something has been accomplished. A Clarion call has been sounded-and if nothing happens-well-at least they tried. I am not here to sell the virtues of any specific organization. But I do suggest that, as individuals who have elected a career in medicine, you will need to share the responsibilities and obligations of that profession. You will, almost inevitably, feel some compulsion to do your part. You will serve your terms upon committees. You will do your bit as members and chairmen, as secretaries, treasurers, and presidents. I would hope that you will choose your organizations carefully, with an assessment of the capacities of those organizations to respond to the demands of society in a meaningful fashion, with accomplishments rather than rhetoric. If your organization is successful it will become "the establishment." If you develop something worth while conserving, you will become conservatives. If not, you will have joined in oblivion with that infinity of little groups of dissidents, the names of which have largely been forgotten. Perhaps the greatest contribution which you may make, in meeting the collective responsibilities of your profession, is to get within an organization which has the potential for progress, to help to keep it on the proper course, to provide it with the necessary energies, and to ensure that it addresses itself to the jobs that need to be done. Where you find it wrong in your estimation you will work to set it right. Where you find it right you will work to accomplish its goal.O WINTER, 1971 9 The Stockton Kimball Lecturer for the upcoming 35th annual Spring Clinical Days will be Dr. Robert Glaser, Vice President of the Commonwealth Foundation, New York City. Thememoriallecture will be Saturday noon April 8, 1972. �Dr. Brody New Anatomy Chairman $498,000 Bequest By Dr. Heyd Dr. Harold Brody, professor of anatomy at the University, has been named chairman of the department. Dr. Brody, who has been on the faculty since 1954, succeeds Dr. O.P. Jones, who retired August 31. Dr. Jones will continue as professor of anatomy. The new department chairman received his bachelor's degree in 1947 from Western Reserve University; his Ph.D. in 1953 from the University of Minnesota; and his M.D. from the University of Buffalo in 1961. From 1943 to 1946 Dr. Brody served with the Army Medical Corps in England. Before coming to Buffalo Dr. Brody was an assistant professor at the University of North Dakota from 1950 to 1954. Dr. Brody was acting assistant dean for student affairs in the School of Medicine from 1967 to 1969, and associate dean during 1969 and 1970. Currently Dr. Brody is a member of the White House Conference on Aging's technical committee. He is also chairman of the American Biology Research Committee for the International Association of Gerontology, which will meet in Kiev, Russia in July of 1972. Dr. Brody was formerly chairman of the Biological Science Section and vice president of the Gerontological Society. He is a member of the Biology Council of Canisius College and visiting professor of Neuro-ophthalmology, St. Mary's Hospital, Rochester, New York. The new anatomy chairman has published primarily in the field of "aging in the nervous system" and also is a reviewer for three professional publications - Journal of Gerontology, Science, and journal of Morphology. Dr. Brody has been the recipient of three special awards - a National Science Foundation Travel Award to the 4th International Gerontological Congress in Merano, Italy in 1957; a Fulbright Senior Research Scholar, 1963, to Kommune Hospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark; and the 1961 Medentian Award (dedication of the UB medical-dental school yearbook).O Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, who died February 4, 1970, left a generous bequest of $498,000 to the University of Buffalo Foundation, Inc. The will provides for monies to "be expended for the general purposes of its Medical Department, such as maintenance, salaries, equipment, buildings but not scholarship." The 1909 Medical School graduate had given $74,325 to the University during his lifetime. He was 85 years old at the time of his death. Dr. Heyd's intent, as expressed during his lifetime was "to provide funds, through the Foundation for those projects of extreme merit in the School of Medicine and health related sciences which are not available in state budgets.'' Such a record of generous benefactions has few parallels in the 125-year history of alumni giving at the University. Dr. Heyd will not only be remembered for his gifts, but rather for his long and distinguished career as a teacher, surgeon and practitioner of medicine. His University and his professional colleagues hold him in high esteem.O 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Three Medical School faculty members, all in the department of psychiatry, are involved in a pioneering project designed to set a pattern for out-of-hospital care of the emotionally disturbed. This day-care program, "Project Pathway," was launched in September in Building D at 2211 Main Street. Dr. Richard E. Wolin, clinical assistant professor of psychiatry and chief psychiatrist of the unit at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital and Dr. Yousyf A. Haveliwala, clinical instructor in psychiatry, who heads Unit VI at Buffalo State Hospital, are supervising the project. The executive director is Dr. Martin T. Packard, a psychologist. Dr. S. Mouchly Small, professor and chairman of the department of psychiatry, initiated the project and signed the agreement between the University, the County of Erie and the Meyer Hospital. According to Dr. Small there are three types of programs in operation. Day care for patients who need a day-long program of group psychotherapy; education that will help them function better at home, in their communities or on the job; recreation and socialization. The Junior Chamber of Commerce has adopted the day care center as one of its special projects. Outpatient care for patients who require only group individual psychotherapy, on an appointment basis, and drug prescriptions. After-care clubs for patients who no longer need active treatment but need the support and friendship of others and have difficulty in making and sustaining relationships without help. Buffalo State and Meyer Hospitals are providing the staff of mental health professionals. Patients are referred to the Admissions Committee for the project after evaluation or treatment at either of the hospitals. This is a partnership of state, county, private agencies and individuals. New concepts of treatment, including the use of tranquilizers and other drugs, are being used to treat many of the patients. Project Pathway is attempting to solve the problem for many persons who were unable to get psychiatric care. Out-patient facilities in Erie County are few and have long waiting lists, and private psychiatric care is beyond the means of many who need it. If this project succeeds, many persons who are hospitalized will be able to return to their own communities, and others who become ill for the first time will be able to stay at home and still receive the treatment they need, according to Dr. Small. In the past, the average person who became mentally or emotionally ill was hospitalized - usually at Meyer Memorial. If the problem was more acute and required longer term treatment, patients were sent to Buffalo State Hospital. Often they stayed for years. Dr. Alan D. Miller, commissioner, State of New York Department of Mental Hygiene, and Dr. James Warde, commissioner, Erie County Department of Mental Health, hope that "Project Pathway" will become the prototype for similar endeavors in other parts of the State.D WINTER, 1971 11 Project Pathway �Dean Pesch Will Head Michael Reese Hospital Dean Pesch has been named the first fulltime president of Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center in Chicago. Dr. LeRoy A. Pesch will take over his new duties January 1, 1972. He has been in Buffalo since July 1, 1968. He. will retain an appointment here as professor of medicine in the School of Medicine. "To be able to attract amanofDr. Pesch's calibre to Michael Reese speaks well for the reputation and future of the institution. He brings to this post a distinguished career in medicine and planning for health care. We could not have found a more appropriate person to lead the hospital and medical center in the future," Mr. B.E. Bensinger, current president of Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center Board of Trustees said. Mr. Bensinger will become chairman of the board in January. Commenting on Dr. Pesch's appointment, Dr. Leon 0. Jacobson, Dean of the Division of Biological Sciences and the Pritzker School of Medicine of the University of Chicago which is affiliated with Michael Reese for medical education, said ''the coming of Dr. Pesch to Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center sustains the tradition of excellence in health care leadership at that institution and in the city of Chicago. His outstanding record as a medical researcher, educator and administrator will strengthen Chicago's position in the vanguard of medical research and medical education. All concerned with medical education, training and health care delivery in the Chicago area welcome him to the city and we in the Division of Biological Sciences and Pritzker School of Medicine take special pride in welcoming Dr. Pesch to Michael Reese. His appointment evidences the continuing excellence within our affiliation.'' Mr. Bensinger said that the full-time President at Michael Reese has been an objective of the Board for the past year. ''The 44-man Board of Trustees has realized that a full-time president to deal with the policy for our future, to develop programs of health delivery that are meaningful, and to firmup our role in medical education is a necessity. Our search for the most appropriate person to do this job has taken us to every part of the country, and we are sure in Dr. Pesch we have found the single most appropriate person to accomplish these tasks." In accepting the new post, Dr. Pesch said: "The world-wide reputation of Michael Reese as a sound institution was the single factor which stimulated my interest in the challenges ahead. To be part of the forward movement of a medical center so committed to the future of patient care, medical research, and medical education is an exciting prospect. We shall do our best to have patterns of care emerge from Michael Reese that will be models for large urban, University-affiliated hospitals everywhere." Both Dr. Clyde L. Randall, vice president for health sciences, and President Robert L. Ketter, in accepting the resignation, wished Dr. Pesch success. Dr. Randall called the dean's new position "an excellent opportunity to develop new and innovative programs for health care." He said Dr. Pesch "will be missed at this University and THE DEAN OF THE MEDICAL SCHOOL 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �in the Buffalo and Erie County medical community. During Dr. Pesch's three and one-half years as dean of the School of Medicine and director of hospitals, Dr. Randall said, "he has been at the forefront of change in medical education at the University of Buffalo. "There are at least five important programs in which Dr. Pesch has been involved. First, he has developed an innovative program of admissions for members of minority groups and women to the Medical School. Second, sensing the need for a more diversified and relevant medical curriculum, he played a leadership role in developing such changes. Third, Dr. Pesch was instrumental in developing the plan presented to the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York at its last meeting which will make it possible to budget State funds for support of space and operating costs in the affiliated Buffalo Area hospitals utilized by the University for the clinical program of the Medical School. Fourth, he has continuously worked to develop broader and more diversified ways for the Medical School to cooperate with the affiliated Buffalo area hospitals in the clinical training of medical students. And, fifth, Dr. Pesch negotiated a program for more comprehensive health care for the inmates of the Attica Correctional Facility which has been accepted by the authorities at Attica and is now in process of being implemented. ''All of these activities were carried on by Dr. Pesch with the goal of more comprehensive health care through an integrated University Health Sciences Center. Dr. Pesch's record speaks for itself. It is my conviction that Dr. Pesch's accomplishments here in Buffalo will be multiplied many times in his new work at Michael Reese. I wish him the greatest success.'' Elsewhere, Dr. Randall called the new assignment ''an impressive tribute to Dr. Pesch's capabilities and his leadership in medical education'' and noted that he had accepted the decision "with genuine regret. 0 11 11 A 17-bed ward for drug abusers has been opened on the loth floor of the Veterans Hospital. This ward will function as part of the hospital's psychiatric service under Dr. Solomon L. Frumson, clinical instructor in psychiatry at the Medical School. Dr. Peter D. Russell, a clinical psychologist, will be co-ordinator of both this ward and one for alcoholics that will be open in 1972. All veterans who are addicted to drugs, whether heroin, LSD, barbituates, amphetamines or others, are eligible for treatment if they did not have a dishonorable discharge. Even if they did, and that discharge was solely for drug addiction, they can apply and be admitted, according to Dr. Andrew A. Gage, acting chief of staff and chief of surgery at the Hospital. Dr. Gage, M'44, is also an associate professor of surgery at the Medical School. Although methadone will be used for detoxification of heroin addicts, it will not be used for maintenance. "We are out to break the drug habit, not substitute one habit for another," Dr. Frumson said. ''Methadone is, in itself, an addictive drug, and we hope that we can help our veterans learn to live without any drugs. "0 WINTER, 1971 13 Ward For Drug Abusers �THE Medical Care at Attica TRAGEDY OF ATTICA PRISON sent shock waves through the School of Medicine, as well as around the world. The shock waves touched off debates, sit-ins in front of the Dean's office in Capen Hall (25 to 100 students at various times), and affirmative action by the medical community. In response to the five student demands [listed in margin, p. 15) Dean LeRoy A. Pesch said "the Medical School proposed to offer immediately an expansion of its present surgical program at Attica Correctional Facility to include general medical care. Additional professional staffing will be provided on a volunteer basis starting immediately. "In implementing this expanded health care program the faculty of the Medical School also offers to provide full medical consultative services to the inmates of Attica. We recognize that the legal responsibility for medical care to the inmates must remain with the State Department of Correction. ''The University and its School of Medicine further offer to participate in the development of plans which will assure the provision of comprehensive care at Attica on a long term basis,'' Dean Pesch said. At a news conference in Hayes Hall September 17th students asked Dean Pesch about the extended medical program and admitting black and community physicians into the prison. He gave his word that he would ''urge admittance of any and all doctors.'' Dr. Pesch also indicated that there was a shortage of black health care personnel, adding that ''we will work as hard as we can to increase the number of black professionals." ''The new system will be one of high quality medical care with the inmates' health care being of prime importance," Dean Pesch said. He also told the students that details of the comprehensive health care program would be worked out as soon as possible. The extended program will add medical, psychiatric and other services to the surgery treatment already supplied. The new program is "essentially more of the same," the Dean said. In response to other questions these facts came out: -At no time since Monday, September 13, has the State Corrections Department prohibited the Medical School from bringing in any personnel, equipment, or supplies. -The Medical School will insist on admission to the prison of any physicians it chooses. -The Medical School and the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital staff has always had the decision on whether prisoners should be transferred to Meyer Hospital. -The University is "not prepared to operate a hospital in the prison itself'' as part of its giving general medical care-as opposed to only surgery-to prisoners. -University physicians have examined every inmate twice [inside the prisoners' cells in most cases). The third examinations were made by Department of Corrections physicians. -There was "no direct evidence" of prisoners having been beaten by guards revealed in the examinations performed by University physicians. -Eighty-three prisoners in all required some surgery. They were ,.. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �suffering from "scratch wounds to wounds that required major surgical attention.'' -Eighteen prisoners had been transferred from Attica to Meyer. Four died and one was returned to Attica. This record, Dr. Pesch said, is "indicative of the very high quality of the medical care provided.'' In addition to the Medical School and the Meyer Hospital teams, the Dental School also sent in residents and interns September 16th to provide dental care. This was provided on an emergency basis to supplement the care the Dental School has been supplying for the last four years. And during the last five years the Medical School and Meyer Hospital have done all the surgery at Attica. The text of the history of the Medical School's involvement at Attica, dated September 16, 1971 and signed by Dean Pesch and Dr. Albert C. Rekate, director of Meyer Hospital follows: The tragedy this week at Attica State Correctional Facility has shocked and saddened all of us. To physicians, who are dedicated to the preservation of life through medical care, this unfortunate event had particular meaning. It has also mandated from us an immediate and compassionate response. The Medical School of the State University of New York at Buffalo and Erie County's Edward J. Meyer Memorial Hospital have been deeply involved in meeting the medical needs of the Attica facility not only during the recent emergency, but also in a continuing program which has been in existence for the past five years. This past Monday, an emergency call for medical assistance was made to Dr. W.G. Schenk, Chairman of the Department of Surgery at the University at Buffalo Medical School and Chief of Surgery at Meyer Hospital. Dr. Schenk and his fellow surgical physicians, along with operating room nurses, residents, anesthetists and emergency room crews, moved immediately to Attica. Surgical teams from Meyer, which included 14 surgeons as well as operating room nurses and emergency crews, were dispatched to Attica a short time later. There were, additionally, three surgeons who had been at the scene with the National Guard units. Medical personnel from Buffalo carried with them all of the equipment necessary to deal with the emergency situation. Five complete operating suites were transported from Meyer Hospital to the Attica facility. Blood was transferred from Rochester and Buffalo blood banks and blood-matching personnel from Meyer were brought to Attica. Life-saving surgical procedures were started immediately. Certain surgical procedures were performed at the Attica facility, while those in more serious condition were sent to Meyer for surgery. The entire hospital was mobilized on an emergency basis. Dr. Schenk said that when University personnel left Attica on Monday night there were no recognized major injuries that had not been cared for. On Tuesday, September 14th, twelve surgeons from Meyer Hospital toured the entire Attica facility, providing post-operative care to those who had had surgery. Those who had any WINTER, 1971 15 The students presented Dean Pesch with a list offive demands: ''We demand that the University of Buffalo Medical School accept full responsibility for the health care of all inmates at Attica State Prison. ''We demand a public statement of all medical treatment and examinations performed since the beginning of the Attica Rebellion. This should include a listing, by name, of all inmates, the treatment undertaken, their physical conditions and their present location. "We demand the formation of an objective Medical Review Board, including physicians chosen by prisoners and their families, to insure adequate health care and examinations for all inmates of Attica-immediately. "We demand that families of dying and injured prisoners be immediately given full visitation rights. "We demand a full public statement detailing the relationship between U/BMedicalSchool and the Attica State Prison. " At this meeting, Pesch said he made it clear to the students that he wouldn't "negotiate in response to their demands but in response to the professional demands that we provide the best medical care possible. "0 In the uprising 32 inmates and 10 hostages died (as of September29, 1971). �Forty-two medical, clinical and molecular researchers from around the world attended The Center for Immunology's second summer session on the latest methods for immunologic research and diagnosis. The three-week course, held in July, represents the only such concentrated session offered in the world, according to Dr. Noel Rose, the Center's director. As leader in the field, the Buffalo Center remains the only one to encompass all aspects of immunology. The participants came from Africa, Australia, Europe, North and South America to attend the course, supported in part by a World Health grant, and sponsored by the Center in conjunction with the Erie County Laboratory and the WHO Regional Reference Laboratory for the Serology of Autoimmune Disease. "Great, just great," was the unanimous response by the registrants upon completion of the course.D Immunology Summer Session medical problems were listed for follow-up treatment. The names of those who were in satisfactory condition as of that time were also recorded. Two of the injured who developed surgical complications on Tuesday were transferred to Meyer for surgery in a Meyer Hospital ambulance. On Wednesday, September 15th, Dr. Lionel Sifontes was at Attica to review medical problems with residents from the University accompanying him. A team of ten surgeons was also at the correctional facility the same day. The purposes of the doctors' visit were to continue treatment of minor injuries, to assess the seriousness of injuries, and to transfer patients to Meyer Hospital, as necessary. As of Wednesday afternoon, two more of the injured were being· transferred to the hospital for surgery. On Thursday, September 16th, Dr. Sifontes and 18 residents were at Attica ministering to the injured. Of the 50 to 60 physicians, medical students and hospital personnel involved, up to 40 were there at a particular time. Although the University Medical School and Meyer Hospital moved quickly to meet the emergency medical and surgical needs during this recent disaster, we should not overlook our medical relationship to Attica during the past five years. 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Since 1966, Dr. Schenk, working in cooperation with Dr. Selden Williams, who heads the medical program at Attica State Correctional Facility, has been responsible for a wide range of surgical services. Elective surgery has been done on a scheduled basis while the Buffalo physicians at Meyer were available in emergency situations, as were the facilities of the hospital itself. Dr. Schenk points out that the 30-bed medical facility, the operating room, the X-ray equipment, and facilities for blood matching and performing laboratory tests are adequate for the usual needs of the Attica facility. Certainly, there are few communities of 2,500 population that have such a facility. During this emergency, County regulations have been modified and security provided so that at this time the Meyer Hospital is able to accommodate any patients who need to be transferred to the Meyer. These patients can be visited by their relatives. We would like to point out that all of this has been made possible by the volunteer physicians and hospital personnel. The Medical School of the University at Buffalo does not operate a hospital or health care service. We are totally dependent for the delivery of health care on resources which are only available in cooperation with private as well as county and Federal hospitals. We would like to stress that as a Medical School and as a County Hospital, as well as physicians, we will not consent to any procedures or restrictions which mitigate against the best care of patients. We would urge that all of those in authority be cognizant of this and recognize its absolute necessity. We feel that at the present time the situation demands that we extend present efforts of the School of Medicine to provide an expanded health care program for the inmates of the Attica Correctional Facility which will lead as quickly as possible to a program providing full-health services. To achieve these objectives we recommend, with the support of the School of Medicine, the following: 1. The School of Medicine of State University of New York at Buffalo proposes to offer immediately an expansion of its present surgical program at Attica Correctional Facility to include general medical care. Additional professional staffing will be provided on a volunteer basis starting immediately. 2. In implementing this expanded health care program, the faculty of the School of Medicine also offers to assume the full professional responsibility for initiating, carrying out, and evaluating medical care delivered to the inmates of the Attica correction facility, both at the facility and in the University's affiliated hospitals. We recognize that the legal responsibility for medical care to the inmates must remain with the State Department of Correction. 3. The University and its School of Medicine further offer to participate in the development of plans which will assure the provision of comprehensive care at the Attica correction facility on a long-term basis.O WINTER, 1971 17 �The Medical Curriculum While it may still be too early to predict, experience with the . new core/ elective curriculum in the Medical School suggests an improved National Board performance. Now into its second year, the program that was recommended by the Ad Hoc Committee on Medical Education in May 1969 and approved by the Executive Committee at its annual May faculty meeting, boils down to an earlier introduction of diagnostic skills as well as opportunities to expand scientific backgrounds at a later date. With a 30 to 40 percent reduction in basic required course time during the first two years (freshman and sophomore) there is the opportunity to take new courses developed by faculty, new electives, and a number of alternatives supplementing or replacing core courses based on student background and interest. While many more courses that have added clinical correlations became fully accredited within the student's program, the option of clinical opportunities unsuited as accredited courses remains open. Adoption of the University semester calendar in place of the trimester provides graduate course opportunities and a more regular teaching pattern for faculty. The possibility of individually tailored combined degree programs has been agreed on in principle by the Division of Undergraduate Studies. For the freshman in 1971, there are preceptorial activities where he may see and discuss some aspect of clinical medicine in his first days. There is also the opportunity during his first semester to take pediatric basic science application, clinical biology or applied anatomy. The psychiatry course has been divided into seminar groups based in part on student background. Interviewing skills, in the second semester, precede and then parallel a course in diagnostic skills and applied physiology. For the sophomore there is a wide range of clinical activities. Diagnostic skills continue during his first semester along with an introduction to laboratory diagnosis. The traditional M and M course (now referred to as clinical applications of basic science II and III) is coordinated with pathology. There are other applied courses available on an interdepartment or department basis. Among advanced courses developed are diagnostic skills (Cardiac physical diagnosis, EKG, clinical pathology), etc. In this more flexible schedule, students may pursue research projects for background in clinical training or as their career interest. These projects may sometimes earn academic credit that may be pursued throughout the year while MD/PhD candidates may complete their work in a shorter time. And if justified, the individually-planned fourth year permits students to extend their summer projects over a longer term. With the third year structurally unchanged (the exception is psychiatry replaced by gynecology-obstetrics) for the first time all students will have completed some training in all major fields prior to internship selection and National Board exams. Reevaluation of clerkship structure and content is being carried on by clinical departments. One result is the twelve-week surgical clerkship, now presented as a core program in general surgery, with a well-planned series of didactive presentations and other new features. 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �No change has been so well received by medical students as the individually planned fourth year. Schedule proposals are submitted by students, in consultation with advisors, based on a broad range of opportunities. These are reviewed as well as past performance and career interests, prior to approval. If a student's record reveals identifiable weaknesses, remedial work is assigned. While many will pursue part of their training at other centers (with local departmental approval) it will be encouraged when an area of study lacks local strength. Students in good standing, a reasonable proposal, and proper sponsorship for out-of-town study, are permitted to use up to four of nine required monthly rotations. One year's experience with Part II of National Boards indicates no adverse effect on student performance. Although seniors may return to basic science study during the fourth year, current credit hour and scheduling arrangements hinder this possibility. Individually-planned activities with clinicians involved in basic research are however well-received, with lecturetype course work on a series of monthly, largely clinical rotations, attempted with some success.D A 1968 Medical School graduate has been named to head the new fetal care unit at Children's Hospital. Dr. Michael Ray has been a research fellow in perinatal medicine for the last year in Los Angeles County (University of Southern California Medical Center). The addition of the fetal unit (to diagnose, study and treat disorders) will make Children's a true maternal and child medical center, according to Dr. Jean A. Cortner, physician and chief and professor of pediatrics. Children's Hospital was founded in 1892. Eighteen years later it began admitting maternity patients and in 1928 opened a separate maternity building. It is still the only children's hospital to have a maternity division. In 1948 the hospital opened a center for premature infants which became the official premature center for Western New Yark. Ten years later, in recognition of its stature, the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness, chose Children's as one of several hospitals to participate in a nationwide child development program. The program followed mothers through their pregnancies and deliveries and then did repeated checkups of their offspring to determine what effects prenatal conditions had on the youngsters. In recent months the hospital has added a special unit for adolescent patients . ''This unit enables internists and pediatricians to work together and present a united front to the patient. Under these conditions, the adolescent is properly introduced to the internist, who will ultimately take over his complete care, and receives continuous care in the process," Dr. Cortner said. Children's is also establishing outreach clinics in high risk areas of the city. One is operating in Emergency Hospital and others are planned for the Allentown area and the Lackawanna Health Center.D WINTER, 1971 19 Dr. Ray Heads Fetal Care Unit Dr. Ray �Plastic, l(eccnlsttllctive Surgery Cleft palate clinic is one of the program's highlights.

He found that what he really wanted was exposure to the subspecialty of clinical plastic surgery. At that time it was unavailable under his academic program. His only option was to pursue a summer fellowship in this field. This would not be the case today, for under the new core/elective curriculum, a junior medical student may now select the content of his 12-weeks on surgery service. If he prefers to take six weeks in general surgery and the remainder in one of the subspecialties, the choice is his. In his senior (all elective) year he is free to pursue in depth any subspecialty of his choice. The summer in plastic and reconstructive surgery under Dr. Samuel Shatkin was exciting for Joel and determined the direction of his medical career. Not only did he have the opportunity to observe procedures in the operating room but to follow patients from preoperative, to hospital rounds, and onto post-operative office visits with Dr. Shatkin as well. Joel found that the variety of cases the 40year old assistant professor of surgery saw ranged from elective to emergency problems that were cosmetic, congenital, functional, neoplastic (tumor) or of traumatic origin. Among the elective types were scar revtstons, cyst removals, dermabrasions, rhinoplastys, blepharoplastys, rhytidectomies, otoplastys, prognathism osteotomies, excisions of skin tumors, repairs of cleft lip and palate, hand anomalies and head and neck tumors. Emergency procedures covered facial trauma, lacerations of the face, fractures of the mandible, maxillae, zygoma, nasal bones, and orbital floor as well as tracheostomy and hand injuries.

Joel's diagnostic acumen regarding head and neck examinations was sharpened. He learned how to perform a thorough examination including laryngoscopy. There were weekly conferences at the Meyer and Buffalo General Hospitals' head and neck service to attend with Dr. Shatkin as well as weekly plastic surgery and outpatient plastic and head and neck clinics at the Veterans Hospital. If an emergency of interest arose during the night or over an unscheduled weekend, Dr. Shatkin would alert Joel. Teaching continues to remain an important part of Dr. Shatkin's day. Through a short course in animal surgery and electives, he hopes to attract medical students to enter the field of plastic surgery. And to general surgical residents he stresses the basic plastic surgery principles that they may in turn apply to patients undergoing general surgery. A dentist as well as physician, Dr. Shatkin has instructed dental students and oral surgery residents in oral and maxillofacial surgery. He also lectures to nursing students on plastic and head and neck surgery.

But most important, it is hoped that within the next year the reality of a residency program in this subspecialty at Buffalo General Hospital will culminate many years of hard work by all of the hospital's plastic surgeons. For Joel, who is now interning in general surgery at the Buffalo General, and for Dennis Natale, the first senior medical student to spend three months of his all-elective year in plastic surgery, it will provide the opportunity to pursue all of their training in Buffalo. The three major divisions of the plastic surgery program are plastic and reconstructive, maxillofacial, and headandnecksurgery. Encompassed in these divisions are burns, hand surgery, and esthetic surgery such as face lifts, rhinoplasty, mammoplasty, blephoroplasty. There is also reconstructive surgery of congenital defects that include cleft lip and plate, maxillofacial trauma, and head and neck tumors. Its rewards?

They are Dr. Heino F .L. Meyer-Bahlburg, research assistant professor of pediatrics, and his wife Dr. Anke A. Ehrhardt, research assistant professor of psychology in the department of psychiatry and pediatrics. They are working with physicians specializing in endocrine diseases in a new program that they call "psychoendocrinology.'' There is only one other program like it in the country-at Johns Hopkins University- where Dr. Ehrhardt was an instructor in medical psychology before coming to Buffalo. The Pediatric Endocrine Clinic at Children's Hospital, ofwhich the program in Psychoendocrinology is an integral part, serves 1200 patients. In the last ten months more than 150 children and parents who were in need of counseling, psychologic evaluation and treatment were referred there by the clinic. The husbandwife team evaluates patients in such areas as social and family adjustment, school achievement and mental abilities. They also counsel teachers and school counselors if a child seems to be having problems in school. And they help physicians in making decisions on medical treatment of patients where psychological factors are important . Dr. Thomas Aceto Jr., ass ociate professor of pediatrics, is chief of the P ediatric Endocrine Clinic.O 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Sumner Yaffe Pediatric Pharmacology While the gap between basic pharmacological knowledge and its use at the bedside for adults may be narrowing, its therapeutical application for infants and children remains unchanged. But a coordinated attack by a diverse group of investigators operating out of the division of pediatric pharmacology at the Children's Hospital may hopefully change this. Why the lag in research for these "therapeutic orphans" as they are medically termed? Perhaps it is because of the sparsity of clinical investigators. Or the relatively small population available for study. Or the problems associated with consent. With a difference in drug/host interaction at all stages of growth and development in the fetus, the newborn, the older infant, toddler, preschooler, and adolescent, what is needed, division head Dr. Sumner Yaffe explained, "is a thorough knowledge of drug action and its disposition in the human organism at specific stages of development.'' WINTER, 1971 He cautioned that with a serious lack of data on which to base dosage recommendations it is not uncommon to read the warning on labels of most drugs found on shelves in the corner pharmacy "NOT FOR USE IN INFANTS OR CHIWREN." Buffalo remains one of the few nationallyrecognized centers in pediatric pharmacology. Investigations here range from the very basic to the clinical and the applied. Not only has the group been trying to define drug metabolism in fetal and infant life during development, but it has been looking at enzymes derived from tissues of various organs in animals and in humans when possible. It is also concerned with the way that these enzymes metabolize drugs and how to apply the findings to the patient. This group of investigators were the first to attack enzyme deficiency in man through the use of drugs. Their approach followed many years of investigations in which drugs, such as phenobarbital, were effectively used as an enzyme-inducing agent for bilirubin metabolism. For the newborn, whose physiological immaturity of bilirubin metabolism leads to jaundice, this finding holds particular importance. In its studies (on a chronically jaundiced patient who inherited a permanent inability to metabolize bilirubin) the group demonstrated that phenobarbital administration was effective. Turning its attention to the newborn Dr. Lome Garrettson �J Checking phototherapy and its products for five-day old jaundiced baby are left to right: senior medical student Alan Mandelberg, Dr. Charlotte Catz, pedwtric resident Edward/. Orecchio, and Dr. Sumner Yaffe. infant, it again demonstrated that this approach may also decrease jaundice in this age group. Now being universally applied to clinical situations is the concept of enzyme induction. The division is now looking into drug dosage for the malnourished infant and child. For, since its establishment locally and nationally in 1963, it has been concerned with all facets of pediatric pharmacology, all of its ramifications, and how they relate to children. Individually there is Dr. Yaffe's ten-year record in drug metabolism and regulatory mechanisms during both pre-and postnatal life that has been followed by application of this knowledge. Add Dr. Joseph Krasner's role in physical chemistry to study drug protein binding. His research into bilirubin binding in the newborn may more effectively determine serious consequences when it is in high concentrations. It may also permit a more rational approach to treatment. Involved in the environmental factors as they affect drug metabolism during development is Dr. Charlotte Catz. In her work on malnutrition such factors as weaning and nutritional status have proven important as determinants of drug action. For they modi- fy activity of drug metabolizing environments in the liver. This work has wide-reaching clinical implications. Drug dosage for infants and children are now available. From the School of Pharmacy there is Dr. Gerhard Levy who adds his expertise in the kinetics of salicylate and riboflavin in both infant and child. In its collaboration with Dr. Levy, the group has made major advances in understanding absorption of riboflavin and the metabolism of salicylate in both infant and child. Pharmacologist Mont Juchau, who is now in Seattle, was the first in the group to study the capability of drug metabolizing enzymes in the human placenta. Possible relationships of placental drug metabolism processes to subsequent effects of drugs on pregnant females, fetuses, and the newborn led the group, in 1966, to initiate a systematic investigation of such processes in human placentas and in experimental analysis. The capability of placental homogenates to catalysis reactions has thus been tested on every major type involved in the metabolism of drugs using oxidation/ reduction conjugation and hydrolysis. With the addition of Dr. Lorne Garrettson several years ago was added his knowledge of the pharmacology of anticonvulsants in children. For this clinical pharmacologist [who is studying what drugs do to the human body and the affect of the body on drugs) it is the processes during disease as well as in health that interest him. Dr. Garrettson also heads the University's only clinical research center supported through NIH funds. Not only is the center a site for patient care where the psychological needs of the family are also con- Dr. Joseph Krasner and senior medical student Lewis Stern at work on bilirubin studies. �sidered but where the investigator may most efficiently spend his time in clinical research and is assured that his orders are meticulously performed. Dr. Luis Mosovich, who brings to the service years of exposure gained from World Health Organization and public health service in Guatemala, has come the pathophysiology of nutrition deficiency and its effects on drug metabolic processes. The School of Dentistry's Sebastian C. Ciancio and neurologist David Weinstein (he is now in New York) have assessed the pharmacology of interaction between phenobarbital and diphenlhydantoin in children with convulsive disorders. Former research fellow Rafael Gorodischer's interest has led to a new approach to the treatment of jaundice, that of phototherapy. Through a broad-based but integrated approach, the division's investigators will obtain pharmacokinetic data for a number of frequently prescribed drugs in the two most common states of malnutrition-protein-calorie and iron deficiencies. It will provide muchneeded data for a rational drug therapy for infants and children whether they be malnourished or not. Clinical pharmacology studies will be correlated with hematologic investigations of Dr. Lorna MacDougal into the decreased life span of iron deficient red blood cells and metabolic investigations of carbohydrate homeostasis in the hypoglycemic malnourished child. Complementary animal experiments will add to an understanding of clinical events by clarifying basic mechanisms at cellular and subcellular levels. "We are not solely research-oriented," explained Dr. Yaffe, "but are service-oriented as well. Our poison control center has not only received over five thousand calls during the year but has supplied information to parents and physicians.'' In collaboration with the department of social and preventive medicine, the division is also conducting a survey to pinpoint demographic characteristics of children served by the Center as well as groups that are not, environmental factors contributing to poisoning in children, and a followup to determine parental response to instructions and survey results. WINTER, 1971 Local service demands on members of the group also include daily consultations on dosage and drug selections for infants and children, as resource for the hospital pharmacy in its handling of physician prescriptions, and as members of local hospital committees. There is also involvement in hospital-based programs in adolescent medicine, birth defects, the newborn nursery, clinical research center, and outreach programs such as the drug abuse clinic in Allentown. National recognition for the division has come through the appointment of Dr. Yaffe to head the American Academy of Pediatrics' Committee on Drugs - it sets standards for national drug therapy for infants and children -and the investigators' involvement in national committees and meetings. But one of the division's most important functions remains that of teaching. Not only is there participation in the undergraduate programs in the Schools of Pharmacy and Medicine, but on a postgraduate level through formalized drug therapy rounds, participation in weekly grand rounds, and at many national meetings. There is also participation with the School of Pharmacy in a new academic program to train clinical pharmacists as practitioners with expertise in drug therapy to practice in hospitals, become involved in large group practices in ambulatory care facilities, or teach in Schools of Pharmacy. "If the gap between research and data on which to base drug dosage is closed," summed up Dr. Yaffe, "a more rational therapy program will follow."O 29 �Mr. Lee Vermeulen, pharmacist and Mark Kester, fourth year student at the Newfane Inter-Community Hospital. r Dr. Sidney Currank with medical students Barry Kilbourne and Paul Gustafson at the W.

That was the consensus of the 22 Health Sciences students who participated in a special eight-week summer "externship" program. In June some of the students weren't sure they would like the small towns, but it took only a few short weeks to convince them of the good life in rural America. The students labeled their experiences "fantastic." They were well accepted by the health professioaals and the patients in the communities where they worked and lived for two short months. Many of the students got involved in the community, just like their preceptors, who are permanent residents. The patients too were most appreciative of the health care that they received. One preceptor admitted, ''the patients welcomed the students, and were flattered by all the extra attention.'' In many instances the students took health care to the people. This was especially true of the migrant labor camps-where nursing students not only urged the families to come to the clinic but urged the children to attend special summer school classes. There were other general student comments ranging from - "I saw only half the picture living in Buffalo; the team approach to learning was good-it proved we can work together; it was good to see how a small city sets policy on health care; we saw first hand how good family life can be in the rural areas; our exposure to different types of programs and points of view.'' William Tufa, a dental student said, "My preceptors took time from office routine to help me get involved in the community. I learned about many social and economic aspects of Westfield. It was a pleasant, profitable summer. I hope to practice dentistry in a smilar setting after graduation.'' Mark Kestor, a pharmacy student said, "It was a great working-learning experience. I had the freedom to do things on my own with proper supervision at the Newfane Inter-Community Hospital.'' Mary Lou Frey, a student nurse with the migrant health project in Silver Creek and Lockport said, "We were accepted by everyone and had no difficulty talking to community leaders. The nurses in the area were scarce and the people welcomed us.'' Another nursing student, Wilma Lavelle, said, "We made some progress in improving health care for the migrant workers." A physical therapy student, Allan Turnbull, working in Jamestown said, "My preceptor directed me to various professional experiences, community organizations, etc. I learned inter-professional collaboration by working with other therapists and others on the health team. This gave me a new perspective." WINTER, 1971 31 William Tu/o, a dental student, wilh Drs. Jerome School and Louis Habig in their W est/ield office.

Hospital, Jamestown. r"'j"'fr'N~iilll•~ Dr. David Widger, a pediatrician practicing in Salamanca, spoke enthusiastically about his experience in the program as a coordinator of two University medical students, Elaine Wilt and Mark Bernstein. "This is how doctors used to be trained," he pointed out. "It was called 'reading with the doctor' and the student after completing high school, was trained by working with the doctor on all his cases. The rural externship program got back to this type of thing. "The program," Dr. Widger continued, "will benefit not only the people of the small community who may well be participating in the training of their future physicians, but the student as well, by giving him the experience of actual practice to broaden his text book knowledge. The program gave the students a chance for personal patient contact which they don't always get in the large city.'' "You get more opportunities to do a variety of things through a program like this," Mark Bernstein, a second year medical student said. "You really learn how to relate to patients." Another preceptor in Portville, Dr. Duncan Wormer, M'20, sees the program as an opportunity to ''expose the student to community medicine before he gets prejudiced against it. The difference between rural and city practice is a personal one. It is a matter of whether you prefer living in the country or the city. It is not the medical facilities." Dale McCloskey, a University physical therapy student, loved the Wellsville area. "After one year in Buffalo I was happy to get back to the country. We become more involved with the patients. We know their medical records and speak to them when we see them on the street. The people are wonderful. They have accepted the fact that I am a student and everything else I've come up with-even my motorcycle.'' David Johnson, a medical student, says-"Since family practice is my area of interest this program gave me a special opportunity to participate in medical care in a rural area. Specifically I wanted to compare my own attitudes and interests and opinions with the practicing men in the area. Although consulting specialists were not too available in Westfield, I was surprised to learn that almost all of the laboratory work and special studies found in a large city hospital were also available in Westfield or nearby hospitals. In a town of a few thousand the physician has a thorough knowledge of a patient's history as well as living situation. Many patients are friends or neighbors to their doctor. I had an understanding of the total health system in this community-thanks to Dr. Robert F. Horsch." The students were unanimous in their praise for their preceptors and how they went out of their way to help them get involved in community activities and affairs. The students liked the direct patient contact that they experienced, and they loved the country-living and friendly atmosphere. All of the preceptors obviously communicated their enthusiasm of working and living in the rural area to their students.D 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Complete Patient Records ''Better and more complete patient records is the road to better health care." This is what Dr. Lawrence L. Weed, physician and professor of medicine at the University of Vermont Medical School told physicians and administrators attending the Regional Medical Program of Western New York's annual meeting. He recommended that everyone read "The Problem Oriented Private Practice of Medicine" by Drs. Harold Cross and John Bjorn (Modern Hospital Press). "This is one of the best books I've read by two of the most advanced practitioners of our times. If you read and practice what the book preaches you will have the best Regional Medical Program in the entire nation. You will skyrocket ahead of every other region in the USA.'' Dr. Weed emphasized that these practitioners (Drs. Cross & Bjorn) have a system. ''They know where they are going, where they have been and what they are doing. I might not agree with everything they are doing, but they can correct what they are doing because they keep records. "It is important that you have a complete record on every patient's problems-medical, dental, psychiatric, and social. How can you hope to solve a patient's problem without a complete record? Medical records of people in this nation are in total shambles. This must be and can be corrected if we all take the responsibility. Being too busy is a poor excuse for not keeping detailed patient records. "It is important that we have communication-feedback from the patient. The patient will help you solve many of his own problems if only you will talk to him.'' Dr. Weed made several other pertinent points: -be precise and honest with your patients; -we all need to be more disciplined; -maintain both source and problem patient records, and then move to a plan of action; -every patient is unique; -don't obscure data; -don't look at problems out of context; -disorganization kills people; the biggest constraint we function under is constraint of disorder; -don't get hung up on details; ''There is more to the art of medicine than charts, records, data, and computers. It is a manner of doing things that evolves around style, discipline and structure. Good patient records is a 'tool' by which you practice your art-the art of medicine," Dr. Weed concluded. 0 WINTER, 1971 33 Drs. Irwin Felsen, Lawrence Weed.

Family Practice for Sophomores One hundred and twenty-five sophomore medical students are now experiencing an early introduction to the "whole patient" in the new Preceptorship Program in Family Practice. This is a required experience for sophomores and is new to the curriculum at the School of Medicine. Each student is assigned to a Preceptor and spends at least one afternoon a week for eight weeks with his physician. Approximately 32 students and 32 Preceptors participate in four sessions each lasting eight weeks. The first two sessions have been completed. The third session begins on January 18th and the final session on March 14th. The students and Preceptors are on a oneto-one basis. "We want the students to be as meaningfully involved as possible with patient care,'' says Dr. Edward F. Marra, professor and chairman of the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine. The program is ''patient oriented'' rather than ''disease oriented." The students participate initially as observers. The degree of subsequent involvement in physician-patient relationships and in examinations and treatment is determined by each preceptor. These students are learning first hand about patterns of office medical practice and health care delivery. They often accompany their Preceptor on hospital rounds. Students also make house calls and thus have an opportunity to observe patients in their homes and against the background of their families. First-year students were introduced to Family Practice with a two-hour lecture this Fall. There is an additional elective "in depth" experience offered to seniors interested in Family Practice. _ A serious conference between Dr. John R.

The School of Pharmacy, along with most of the other units of the University, will move to the new Amherst North Campus. The Board of Trustees of the State University of New York, in reaching its decision, accepted the recommendation of a special task force appointed earlier this year. The nuclear reactor and several other units will remain at the Main-Bailey South Campus. The twin towers, under construction on the Amherst Campus, and originally designated for the Health Sciences, will be occupied by the School of Pharmacy and Department of BiologyO Medical School Will Not Move To Amherst THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Health Sciences Library in Capen Hall has one major problem-inadequate space. It has only 107 reading spaces for 2,658 potential users, according to Mr. C. K. Huang, Health Sciences Librarian. Approximately 1,000 people visit the library daily. ''Our library is a giant when it comes to the responsibilities and services that it undertakes. It has one of the largest and finest current biomedical journal collections in the nation and serves one of the largest health communities. One-third of the total UB faculty is in the Health Sciences. "It not only serves the students and faculty of the five schools-dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy and health related professions- but also the health professionals in the sixty hospitals and research institutions in Western New York under the Regional Medical Program," Mr. Huang said. "We need at least another 10,000 square feet of space immediately-either adjacent to the present library or a total new library facility at another location on the Main Street Campus. "Dr. Abraham Flexner mentioned the University of Buffalo Medical School in his famous report of 1910. He said, "This is a good library of 8,000 volumes ... with a librarian in charge." When the library moved to its present location in 1953, it had 35,000 volumes. Today there are 118,000 volumes, 46,000 books and 72,000 bound journals. No additional space has been added in 18 years. Another important service is the SUNY Biomedical Communications Network that links the Health Sciences Library with fifteen other participating libraries-the SUNY Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse; New York State Medical Library, Albany; University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester; Albany Medical College, Albany; SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn; SUNY at Stony Brook; Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine, Harvard University; the National Library of Medicine, Bethesda; William H. Welch Library of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore; and Cornell University Medical College, New York. The library makes about 200 searches per month for the students and faculty through this information retrieval system, the highest among participating libraries. The Health Sciences Library also makes a significant contribution to the health institutions in greater Buffalo and Western New York because it is the major medical resources library in the region that has materials in biology, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, and health related professions. Interlibrary lending has increased 80 per cent in the last year to 1,800 items per month through the Information Dissemination Service of WNY-RMP, the Regional Medical Library Program, and the New York State Interlibrary Loan Network.D T HE HEALTH SCIENCES LIBRARY WINTER, 1971 41 • �The Ketters cut the 125th birthday cake Health Care in Buffalo in 1846 by I I Oliver P. Jones, MD, Ph.D. Professor of Anatomy It is indeed an honor for me to represent the medical profession, but ever since accepting this assignment I have been wondering-why me? After all it took me 18 years to finish medical school and all of my patients are dead. Before talking about the health care facilities at Buffalo in 1846 I want to present some background material and something of unique historical interest. The May 11, 1846 issue of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser did not have anything about the University of Buffalo and neither did the Morning Express. Instead much copy was from the seat of the war because there was grave concern about the dangerous situation of the army of the Rio Grande under General Taylor. If Vietnam were to be inserted for Mexico the following would be applicable today-125 years later-"The administration at Washington maintains an obstinate silence as to the ultimate designs in the prosecution of the war against Mexico.'' By the same token THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �if pollution were to be inserted for "abuse" in the following advertisement it would almost be up to date. Dr. Hunter's AntiMercurial Syrup and Health Restorer. To persons suffering from the abuse of Mercury, and the effects of a certain disorder, imperfectly cured. However the May 12 edition of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser did have this: The Legislative doings Saturday (May 9) afternoon and evening, were of much general and local interest. - Among other bills passed (in the Senate) were a large number for the relief of various insurance companies, the bill to incorporate the University of Buffalo, and the bill to incorporate the Aurora and Buffalo Plank Road Company. The establishment of a Medical Department rather than one for Law or Theology elicited criticism from certain quarters. It was seriously intimated that the young physicians and their confederates were not altogether unselfish in their desire; that they contemplated some financial gain or the improper increase of their professional practice. So much for the background material and now for the item of unique historical interest. This was not discovered until I had plugged in my serendipity booster circuit. Why should the City Directory list Hospital Street, thirteen years before the Sisters of Charity Hospital opened its doors in August, 1848? Hospital Street ran from West Mohawk to the Erie Canal and it was between Genesee and Georgia Streets. It is listed in the directories from 1836 to 1863 and in 1864 it was renamed Wilkeson Street. In 1832 Buffalo experienced its first cholera epidemic. There were 184 cases and 80 deaths. According to Lewis F. Allen, one of the founders of the Historical Society, "a hospital was improvised for the first time, the first one being 'The McHose House.' It stood in a hollow about midway between Niagara and Ninth Street, now Prospect Avenue - The house was unoccupied at the time.'' The Board of Health took possession of the brick house and set about equipping it as a refuge and hospital with a few bedsteads, beds, tables, chairs and cooking utensils. Other houses were used as temporary hospitals during the cholera epidemic of 1834. Now let us consider the health care facilities at Buffalo in 1846. There was a Hospital Street but no hospital. However there was the Seaman's Home in the old first ward. This served as a shelter and hospital of sorts, but nearly two-thirds of those who applied for relief had to be turned away on account of exhaustion of the fund to which they had contributed and to which they had a claim. There was also the Buffalo Orphan Asylum founded in 1835. It was established by a few charitable and benevolent WINTER, 1971 Dr. O.P. Jones, professor and chairman of the anatomy department, was among the speakers at the I 25th Founders' Day dinner at the Hearthstone Manor May 11. Morethanl,OOO friends shared the eight-foot birthday cake decorated with a replica of Hayes Hall. President Robert L. Ketter greeted the/acuity, students, staff, alumni, community leaders and friends in attendance. Dr. Ketter noted that the University's founding 125 years ago was a community response to a community need. ''The particular need was for better health care. More generally, the need was for an institution of higher learning which would impart an added dimension to a community with expanding aspirations. " Once founded, he said, "the University became a joint venture between community and educators'' and that partnership continues today. The President said this Anniversary should be a time of "rededication" to the "real interests" of students- "those enduring interests of intellect and spirit which remain unaltered by momentary passions and /ashions. It is our dedication to those interests, our devotion to the mind and spirit of man, and to setting mind and spirit free through truth, which constitutes the 'permanent character' of this institution. This dedication and character are the hope we hold for the future. And we must hold it dearly. " �Mr. Linowilz The Honorable Sol M. Linowitz warned that if the American university is to survive, "we must somehow re-establish mutual respect among the constituencies of the university as an institution including especially those in our highest of/ices." Mr. Linowitz is chairman of the National Committee on Campus Tensions ofthe American Council on Education. ladies and supported by voluntary contributions to provide an asylum for destitute and orphan children. It was located in rented houses for varying periods on Franklin, Seneca, and Niagara Streets and on November 12, 1846 it was removed to near the corner of Main and Virginia Streets in the building formerly occupied by the Buffalo Literary and Scientific Academy. This was a fortuitous circumstance because two years later, Bishop Timon acquired this property from the trustees of the orphan asylum and founded the Sisters of Charity Hospital. While not the first hospital in Buffalo, the Sisters of Charity Hospital was the first organized on a permanent basis and the first teaching hospital for the University of Buffalo. Buffala in 1846 also had a City Dispensary, "established in March 1841 for the purpose of relieving such sick, poor and indigent persons as are unable to procure medical aid.'' For some reason, its usefulness during 1846 had declined which will be considered later. It was located over 261 Main Street at Erie. The largest single health care facility in Buffalo in 1846 was the Erie County Alms House established in 1829, in a small stone building on Porter Avenue near the site of the present Holy Angel's Church. The main building consisted of two wards for male and four for female inmates. There was a small building for orphan children, a small one story building for lunatics and a temporary shanty for cases of typhus. The census ranged from 90 to 230 inmates. We do not know how many were admitted for disease alone, because the reports of the superintendent only listed vagrants, lunatics, idiots, children, and those who were merely destitute. The mortality rate was exceedingly high. One out of six admitted died within the year, and the corpses sometimes remained in the general wards because there was no vacant room for reception of the dead. Those were very vigorous days in Buffalo after the University received its charter on May 11,1846. For example five months after this an association was formed by Dr. Josiah Trowbridge and 35 directors for the establishment of the ''Buffalo City Hospital." The building known as the "Seaman's Home" had been obtained temporarily until other and more extensive accommo- Drs. Pesch, Brown host a table �dations could be procured. It was contemplated that this institution, which was incorporated in November 1847, would furnish gratuitous medical and surgical aid to indigent patients and that it would also receive paying patients under certain regulations. It was further contemplated that this public hospital would also embrace a Marine Hospital Department. It was a commendable idea but the project failed in 1848 because, as has since occasionally happened in Buffalo, there was more or less opposition to this new departure, and an attempt to obtain a State appropriation was unsuccessful. With respect to the denial of funds by Albany one public official said, "It is time the West (meaning Buffalo) began to look out for its own interests." The retarded and dying Buffalo City Dispensary was resuscitated by ten to twelve young physicians who proposed to devote gratuitously a portion of their time and services to that class of the impoverished and suffering of Buffalo. Dr. Trowbridge was also associated with this movement. Shortly after the state legislature struck out the appropriation of $5,000 for the Buffalo City Hospital, which was to include a Marine Department, separate petitions were circulated for signatures, asking Congress to make an appropriation for the erection of a Marine Hospital in Buffalo. Apparently this effort was of no avail. So much for the health care facilities at Buffalo in 1846. Now. what did the University of Buffalo contribute to these facilities during the first year of its existence? The University leased for three years the old First Baptist Church on the northeast corner of Washington and Seneca Streets which was built in 1829. (An editor ofthe Commercial Advertiser erroneously placed it at the corner of two parallel streets-Seneca and Swan!) This wooden structure was sold to private parties in 1836 and was used by the government for customs, a post office and finally as a police court before the University leased it. The upper part was admirably adapted for a medical college because there was an amphitheater so arranged to accommodate a class of two hundred students, together with rooms for a museum, library, etc. The amphitheater also served as the dispensary. The upper story was used for practical anatomy and a lecture room. On the first floor there was a spacious chemical lecture room and a laboratory. Of course, all of this was after there had been considerable remodeling. The dispensary was open at noon each day during the 16-week term for surgical counsel and operations and at four o'clock for medical counsel and the dispensing of medicines. These services were gratuitous for indigent patients and those who did not object to appearing before the class. I am not going to burden you with a list of medical terms and remarks about these first cases but I do want to say that the dispensary must have been pretty good for that period. For example we know that the Professor of Surgery, Dr. Frank Hamil- WINTER, 1971 Eleven 125th Anniversary Awards were also presented to individuals who have made special contributions to the University, to public service, and/or to the advancement of a particular professional or academic field. Mrs. Sparkle Moore Furnas and Professor John T. Horton of the Department of History received the Alumni Association awards -Mrs. Furnas, the Walter P. Cooke Award /or service to the University by a non-alumnus; and Dr. Horton, the Samuel P. Capen Award /or contributions by an alumnus. Other recipients were G.

More than 100 dignitaries from the city, county, state and faculty attended. Laying the cornerstone ton, reconstructed by skin grafting the mouth, nose, and eyelid of a 25-year old patient who had been severely burned during childhood. There were seven operations altogether for this plastic surgery on a single individual. These are duly recorded in the Buffalo Medical Journal for 1849. In addition to this it has been my privilege to read an eye witness account of one of these operations. Another important contribution to the health care of the community was the fact that each of the 68 medical students had to serve a three-year apprenticeship with a competent physician licensed by one of the several county medical societies. Some physicians even had two medical students in their homes serving as apprentices. This meant that many more patients could be treated even though the number of physicians remained about the same. These medical students were truly physicians' assistants. I painted a grim word picture of the Alms House, but even here things gradually improved before new buildings were erected because the University of Buffalo was able to supply medical students to serve as interns so to speak. Some of the students even referred to it as their hospital. Before closing I want to emphasize how great our aspirations were and how high the expectations of the students must have been by quoting from the Annual Announcement for 1846: The "Buffalo City Hospital" is a general charity for the reception of sick seamen, citizens, etc.-The students will be admitted to the wards of the Hospital at such hour of each day as the several medical officers are in attendance, and free of charge. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Although these promises were never kept there is nothing in the newspapers of that period about student protests and demands. This does not mean that they were incapable of such things, but rather than they were just too busy attending medical classes all day and serving as apprentices during the evening in a physician's office. Finally just think how important it was for Buffalo to have Drs. Austin Flint and Frank P. White persuade five professors at Geneva Medical College, established in 1834, to come here and deliver their lectures a second time in a given year. These gentlemen were some of the most famous peripatetic teachers of that period. They were good physicians, excellent teachers, authors of medical articles, and some had experiences in famous European clinics. The health care of patients in general must have improved immeasurably by the presence of all seven of our original professors because the apprentices would invariably carry back to their preceptors accounts of the most recent medical advances and recommended methods of treatment. Although Austin Flint felt that medical education never suffered from free and honorable competition, the move of five professors from Geneva Medical College later proved to be a serious blow for that institution. It would be foolhardy for me to extol the greatness of our first faculty , but I am certain you would not mind hearing the unbiased opinion of a world-famous neurosurgeon and medical historian. Dr. Harvey Cushing, on the occasion of the centenary celebration of the College of Medicine of Syracuse University in 1934 said: They (meaning our professors) made for the next five years as notable a faculty of energetic men as one could hope to find anywhere. 0 Drs. Beck, Rubin host a table WINTER, 1971 �Health Manpower Shortages Dr. Margaret Gordon speaks on health care How to overcome the serious shortages of professional health manpower was the main topic of discussion at the annual meeting of the Annual Participating Fund /or Medical Education April 18. Dr. Margaret S. Gordon of the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education used the October 1970 report of the Commission, "Higher Education and the Nation's Health - Policies for Medical and Dental Education, '' as the basis of her remarks. The training of more physicians and physician assistants and establishing Area Health Education Centers to overcome health manpower shortages was the theme of Dr. Margaret S. Gordon's talk at the APFME annual meeting. She outlined briefly the 10 Carnegie Commission goals to be achieved by 1980: • Expansion of the functions of university health science centers so that they can play a central role in coordinating and guiding health manpower education and cooperating with other agencies in the development of improved health care delivery systems in their regions • Development and expansion of programs for physicians' and dentists' associates and assistants • Acceleration of medical and dental education, thereby achieving greater efficiency • Integration of the curriculum, including such changes as consolidation of instruction in the basic sciences on main university campuses, integration of preprofessional and professional education, and more carefully integrated and coordinated programs of post-graduate training • Changes in medical and dental education so that they are more responsive to the expressed needs of students and more concerned with problems of delivery of health care • A 50 percent increase in medical school entrant places • Initiation of nine new university health science centers • Positive policies to encourage the admission of women and members of minority groups to professional training in medicine and dentistry THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �• A 20 percent increase in dental school entrant places • Development of approximately 126 area health education centers, affiliated with university health science centers (President Nixon has allocated $40 million for fiscal1972). Dr. Gordon said, "the crisis in the delivery of health care in the United States reflects the combined influences of five interrelated and overlapping factors: the unmet needs for health care; rising expectations of the population for universal access to care; critical shortages in, and inefficient utilization of, health manpower; ineffective financing; and rapidly rising cost.'' According to the Carnegie Commission report the most serious shortages of professional personnel in any major occupation groups in the United States are in the health services. Dr. Gordon pointed out that although the geographic distribution of health manpower is highly uneven, there is no clear agreement on what ratio of physicians to population is adequate. "Much more attention must be paid to the development of training programs for new types of health personnel. The need to train more minority-group physicians is also crucial," Dr. Gordon said. The Carnegie Commission believes that medical and dental education is critically underfunded and that increased financial support is essential. Dr. Gordon mentioned several commission recommendations: -a federal program of grants up to $4,000 a year for medical and dental students from low-income families and for students from low-income families enrolled in associate and assistant programs in medical and dental schools; -a national health service corps should be developed to bring improved health care service to low-income and rural areas of the nation; -a relatively low unifonn national tuition ($1,000 per year, per student) policy for institutions providing medical and dental education; -cost of education supplement ($4,000 per year, per student) to university health science centers for each medical and dental student enrolled in four-year programs or the accelerated threeyear programs; -cost of instruction supplements $2,250 for interns and residents in hospitals affiliated with medical schools; - bonuses for enrollment expansion and curriculum refonn; -construction grants for university health science centers and area health education centers in amounts up to 75 percent of total construction costs, with remaining 25 percent available in the forms of loans. Also start-up grants for new university health science centers in amounts not exceeding $10 million per center; -regional, state, and local planning for health services should be strengthened and expanded to encompass all health manpower education and health care facilities. The university health science centers, along with their affiliated area health education centers, should have central responsibility for the planning of health manpower education; WINTER, 1971 �Two interested physicians Televised Operations -the appointment of a National Health Manpower Commission to make a thorough study of changing patterns of education and utilization of health manpower, with particular reference to new types of allied health workers, of changing patterns of health care delivery, and of the feasibility of national licensing requirements for all health manpower. Dr. Gordon emphasized that state and private support for medical education should not be eliminated, "but built on the floor of federal financing.'' University health science centers must take the initiative in the integration of the total medical experience if the Carnegie Commission goals are to become a reality, Dr. Gordon concluded. Dr. George Himler, president of the New York State Medical Society, also spoke briefly. He said the "crisis of numbers was in error and would not correct the distribution of physicians." He voiced opposition to cutting the medical school curriculum from four to three years and admitted that there were too many surgeons in New York City. He pointed out the difficulty of controlling the specialty a student selects. Dr. Himler went on to say that there is no guarantee that a medical student from an ethnic group would return to practice where he was born and raised. He admitted that he was in agreement with many of the Carnegie Commission recommendations. 0 Mr. Sheldon Dukoff, senior medical photographer at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital, has devised a unique system that makes it possible to televise operations on the delicate structures inside the ear. The photographer admits that he got considerable help and cooperation from several surgeons. This is a great teaching devise for students of the Medical School as well as young surgeons. Dozens or even hundreds (students, interns, resident physicians) can follow each step of the surgery on a giant television screen. The surgeon himself cannot directly view what he is doing. He guides his fingers by peering at the operating field through a binocular microscope. In the average microscopic operation, it has been impossible for more than one person at a time to see what the surgeon is doing. A television tube is attached to the microscope, along with a TV adapter and a "beam splitter" that distributes to the TV tube some of the light by which the surgeon guides his fingers. The surgeon, as he operates, can twist dials to make the picture that is appearing on the screen larger or smaller, darker or lighter, to emphasize points for the onlookers. The special equipment was purchased through a grant from Mr. Joseph Davis, a Buffalo heating contractor, and funds donated by the surgeons themselves. D 50 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A "method for managing the urunanageable" is perhaps the best interpretation of the three-day lneeting on automation of health data given by one of its 62 faculty. Those attending the continuing medical education symposium that was sponsored by the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, the Western New York Health Data Network, Inc., and the Medical Society, County of Erie, sought the answers to inherent fundamental problems of a large health data system-the human responsibilities as well as technical requirements. All were in agreement-from the three foreign experts whose health care models are considered leaders in the field-to the physicians, hospital administrators, health planners from governmental, public and private agencies-that a more efficient and economical health care system can be accomplished through computerization. ROLE OF THE UNIVERSITY For SUNYAB President Robert L. Ketter, to aid in the creation of an adequate health care system falls within the purview of the University's three major roles of teaching, research, and service. But he envisions an increase of input into a health delivery network yet undreamed of by the University. For Vice President for Health Sciences Clyde L. Randall, there must be new objectives in the curriculum for comprehensive health care. The curriculum, he said, must take into account that individuals in allied health professions will want to progress, to develop high levels of competence and utilization in new paramedical areas, for only a limited number of allied health profesionals can today enter the higher levels. "We must be training a new breed of health professional capable of utilizing comprehensive medicine . . . a system recognizing that we have different types of people that can participate in the care of a patient's health and total community." He also questioned the ability of a physician trained in a school of classical demonstrations to perform in a computerized system. The curriculum should be revised. The role of a medical school, said Dean LeRoy A. Pesch, is to train physicians. What he sees as crucial is an educational envirorunent that will make physicians interact with others. ''Educational procedures should be placed within the community which the Medical School is trying to service, to use the institutions that are part of community resources, and attempt to build about changes in the system as it evolves." For, as he summed up, ''all depends on the environment in which educational procedures will occur.'' A Federal Plan to encourage computerized health data systems on a national basis was described by H.E. W. Administrator for Health Services and Mental Health Vernon E. Wilson. This large task should be completed and fully operational by 1981. The data, to be delivered and stored at the local level is for evaluation and planning health care programs at local, state, and federal levels. WINTER, 1971 51 Data Management Dr. Gabrieli �When asked to review a federal health plan, Surgeon General Jesse Steinfeld found no underlying philosophy for its implementation. What the symposium keynote speaker did find however is that Americans are not a health conscious population and that they need to be educated, that while our biomedical research and education systems are perhaps the best in the world, some of our health care services are also the best but not uniformly available, and that the delivery system could be more efficient, better distributed, and more emphasis placed on prevention. This is the area where modern information technology can make a contribution. Possibilities for improved financing mechanisms for a more productive and efficient system? They are goals for the 70's, he said. He hopes that the 100 or more bills on health pending in Congress represent an improvement in health delivery and adequate care for all at reasonable cost. "The role of the federal government is to improve the health care system in line with congressional and professional mandates. Changes must be based on carefully designed experiments whose outcomes are carefully evaluated.'' Drs. John Perry, Gabrieli DRAFTING BLUEPRINT FOR LARGE HEALTH DATA SYSTEM An overview of health plan fundamentals-its technical aspects, and specific uses-was discussed by the prominent geneticist Howard B. Newcombe who heads the Biology division of Atomic Energy of Canada. He predicts that within ten years, laser techniques will provide unlimited storage possibilities of records. There were also outlines for full computerization of clinical data for a health care system in the newly-planned English city of Milton Keynes (to house 300,000, an open campus, and a health center with 1,000 bed hospital). In Sweden, computerization of the health field was decided on an economic basis for it was calculated that by the year 2007 the budget for health care will exceed the entire projected national budget. An impossible situation, said Sweden's Lars Bottiger, that is becoming "more and more critical everywhere. It is especially difficult because we have no way of really measuring what we are doing, what we are producing as you always do in any kind of industrial product." To deliver the best care, costs must be reduced. Sweden's Danderyd project is a pilot study to prove the cost-saving potential of modern information technology. WESTERN NEW YORK PLAN FOR AUTOMATED HEALTH DATA SYSTEM Under consideration is the establishment of a Western New York system-a coordinated network of two million people, two thousand physicians, and 54 hospitals-to comprise the largest such system in the world. In his discussion of its goals and logistics, conference program chairman Elemer Gabrieli reminded the participants that this system-formulated by a45-memberteam of legal, social, paramedical, and medical experts that are known as Western New York Health Data Network, Inc. is a blueprint only that is in the planning stage. 52 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �As there are no other models on data information in the United States today, conferees were encouraged to comment on the proposed data system that is to have carefully controlled input and output, to have data stored locally, as well as formulation of its output policy. While the patient remains the owner of his record, the physician must be the owner of his contribution-diagnostic decisions and therapeutic measures. What the team found, after a year and a half-long study, was an absence of certain specialists for functions necessary in a data network. They envision the need to retrain medical record librarians to work in an electronic environment and to assure confidential storage of patient files. Identifiable data must be heavily protected with a series of security measures by a data security administrator, and a committee must be formed to advise the network on data feasibility. The medical community, Dr. Gabrieli said, has to play a major role in the design and running of the data network. Educating the health professional will also be an important task. While the full operation, after testing of a pilot study, is still two years away, the task today is that of convincing local practitioners of the rewards of such a data network. Other topics discussed at great length were the importance of genetics, a new information resource or community profile that utilizes geography, the potential of management sciences, and the ethical and legal considerations of an automated health data system. The Buffalo Plan received much praise and full endorsement by leaders in the Federal government, received full support from American Medical Association, and the plans developed for the Province of Ontario were shaped on its philosopy. The Medical Society of the State of New York also announced the recently finalized charter covering an Institute for Research and Development of Health Services Delivery that will develop capability to assist the various groups and areas to implement clinical data systems throughout the State. The importance of the Buffalo Plan- its feasibility of exploiting information technology for better health care-was stressed by conference participants. With the design of a large health system now completed, the challenge remains for the University to train the new breed of professional that must work within the system.O WINTER, 1971 53 Dr. Steinfeld �Opporhmity and Decision Dr. Randall Are we going to accept responsibility for development of health personnel that will help us provide more obstetric and gynecologic care, asked Dr. Clyde Randall as he opened his inauguration address to the 19th American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, or will we disclaim responsibility for care of more patients than we can personally and adequately care for on a private patient basis? With only a small percentage of the total number of ob/gyn practitioners in need of advanced certifications in an intraspeciality, he raised the question of what the other 95 percent will do? Provide gynecologic health care and direct the provision of health care as needed, he said. If the ob/gyn practitioner assumes this responsibility then he forsaw the need to recruit enough promising students not only willing to perform a busy ob/gyn practitioner's variety of duties but willing to refer cases to the intraspecialist. The vice president for health science at the University also pointed out that "if we acknowledge our responsibility to the community in which we live then our general practice will change." Some practitioners, who are too busy, will accept neither Medicaid or Medicare patients. And they have no time to spend in a facility that offers community-provided health services. Although the country can and will be producing more doctors, he pointed to insufficient numbers to provide either today's increased health service needs or future demands. "We know that gyneologic health care is actually being provided by nonphysician assistants in a variety of practice settings,'' he told the assembly. And he went on to describe the health care teams developed by many in private practice settings, particularly in organized group practice that are located in all sections of the country. He also pointed to the paramedical personnel who provide gyneologic health care in public-supported clinics. "Thus these projects no longer are educational programs for demonstration. They provide patient services and health care in a significant way." He felt that many may not be aware that university recognition of anticipated needs will soon make available thousands of capable health workers. But he pondered whether the ob/gyn practitioner will be ready and willing to use them effectively, to share his income with these added numbers of health personnel, and to assume liability as they become part of his practice and add to his responsibilities. If he is willing then he foresaw the responsibility for the care of increased numbers of patients in private practice that must follow. This would also leave the practitioner time to participate in a group practice type of clinical operation that either helps to provide or supervises health care for many in communityprovided facilities. The time is NOW, Dr. Randall said, for a change in patterns of practice. This change will demand an expanded type of operation and provide more health care in both private and community types of practice. Only then will the ob/gyn practitioner exert a major influence in programs that prepare both professional and nonprofessional personnel for health services, he said. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The specialty of ob/ gyn must develop the ability to provide gyneologic health care to all women who will seek services when they are made available. Private practice is a luxury which many cannot afford. Today's doctor, Dr. Randall said, must be aware that he has been and is continuing to be educated at considerable cost to the public and must feel a broader responsibility to society. For he may be receiving grant support or is dependent on tax-supported facilities and programs. While the older generation may have felt justified in restricting personnel responsibility to demands of private practice, today's students in health sciences and practitioners can hardly avoid recognition of responsibility for the many who do not have ready access to needed health care. Community supported health care clinics-serviced by a predominantly nonphysician staff-have demonstrated their ability to provide acceptable care. "Although we cannot provide all of the services we must profess our willingness to assume responsibility for all care provided by a nonphysician staff," Dr. Randall implored. "As the supervising, responsible member of the health care unit, the physician can assure adequate and acceptable health care for an ever-growing patient load.'' The cost of health care to the patient will not materially rise under a team system. The specialist, compensated on a patient load for whom he assumes primary responsibility, may still approximate the personal income he may have expected had he continued personal care for a relatively few private patients. "If, as physicians we now deny our responsibility for the care others can give patients, there will be an added reason for governmental agencies or legislators to promote the licensure of a variety of personnel. Legislation can establish nonphysician types as independent practitioners, registered, licensed, and approved for provision of varying types or degrees of health services." Maturity, Dr. Randall summed up, usually has a way of bringing us face to face with reality. ''The time is NOW and the responsibility should be ours. For the health care of women IS the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology." 0 There are nine new faces in the third year medical class at the University. They are American students who have studied the last two years (except for two) in three foreign medical schools. In the fall of 1970 the Medical School accepted 14 students in this same category. All of the transfer students were carefully screened. All completed the equivalent of the first two years of medical school at a foreign university and have passed Part I of the National Medical Board examination. They were unable to get into an American Medical School as first year students. All plan to practice medicine in the United States. The 1971 "medical transfer students'' attended universities in Guadalajara, Lausanne and Geneva.O WINTER, 1971 In the article on G/ Diseases: Self Education that appeared in the Fall issue (pp. 24-26) the head of its medical research program was inadvertently identified as Dr. Martin Plaut. He is Dr. Andrew Plaut, a brother, who joined the Medical School as research assistant professor of medicine after military service in Thailand (six years after Dr. Martin Plaut). Nine New Faces �Continuing Medical Education During the first six months of 1972 several continuing medical education programs have been planned. January 6-June 29 Cardiac Clinics and Physical Examination of the Cardiac Patient (weekly session in the evening) April 7 and 8 Thirty-fifth Annual Spring Clinical Days April 13 and 14 Anesthesiology May 15-17 Pediatric Cardiology June 5-9 Refresher Seminar in Pediatrics Conferences in the planning stage with no final dates: Community Mental Health; Neurology Seminar Day; Gynecology and Obstetrics; Medical and Surgical Aspects of Urology; Endocrine Diseases; Surgical Aspects of Gastroenterology; Child DevelopmenLO Drug Ahuse Center A drug abuse center for teen-age drug dependents opened in October under the joint auspices of Children's Hospital, the department of pediatrics and the Allentown Community Center. The medical director is Dr. Larry Nemeth, a 1966 Medical School graduate, who is also a clinical instructor of pediatrics. Serving as advisors are Drs. John C. Dower, professor of community pediatrics and Sumner J. Yaffe, professor of pediatrics. It is a detoxification center for drug dependent adolescents throughout the county. Treatment is given at the center itself on an out-patient basis, or in Children's Hospital. The center will accept only persons under 18, and does not plan to offer methadone treatment. It will offer counseling and referral to cooperating social agencies for rehabilitation. It is one of 12 being set up throughout the county as part of a plan co-ordinated by the Department of Mental Health. Support for the center is coming from the hospital, the county, and the state.O 56 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �There is a new one-year program in the Medical School leading to a certificate in community health service administration. The program director is Dr. Jack Zusman, associate professor of psychiatry. This is the only program of its kind in the state outside of New York City. This program is funded by a threeyear, $350,000 grant from the National Institute of Mental Health. "The idea of the program is to take mental health professionals and give them managerial training to run mental health agencies. The program is directed at professionals -psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurses and rehabilitation counselors - who have expertise in their professional field but lack the background to handle the day-to-day operations of an agency," Dr. Zusman said. The program will cover such practical problems as drawing up a budget, working with a board of directors or gaining political approval of a tentative budget. The actual program for the certificate consists of a 15-graduate-credit requirement, a year's half-time field placement as an apprentice administrator and a thesis or project report. A liaison has been established with the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine at the Medical School, according to Dr. Zusman. Although the program is aimed basically at mental health professionals, applicants with a bachelor's degree who have shown aptitude and an interest in mental health work will be considered. For those without a specific background in mental health, the program also will be related to two master's degree programs. Most of the courses are offered in the late afternoon. Under the National Institute of Mental Health grant tuition can be paid for up to the full 30 hours needed for a master's degree rather than the 15 credit hours needed for the certificate. Tuition will also be paid for part time students. The program is in the Division of Community Psychiatry in the Department of Psychiatry at the School of Medicine.D A 1951 Medical School graduate has found that blood samples taken at 0-2-4-6-8-10-12 minutes showed deviations greater than 10 grams per deciliter. On the same individuals, at the same time intervals, using the continuous sample analysis system developed by Dr. Joseph C. Sieracki and his associates, no deviations greater than ten grams per deciliter were found. The results obtained using continuous sample analysis would indicate that the fluctuations observed are not true metabolic or physiologic variations in glucose concentration. Dr. Sieracki is an assistant professor of pathology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and a clinical pathologist at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Pittsburgh.D WINTER, 1971 S1 Community Health Service Blood Samples �The Class of 1919 Dr. Everett T. Mercer, M'19, is a general practitioner in Hamburg, New York. He lives at 47 Charlotte Avenue.D The Class of 1920 Two prominent alumni were honored at the second annual tribute luncheon commemorating Christopher Columbus and General Casimir Pulaski October 11. Awards for outstanding service to the community by a Polish-American and an Italian-American were presented to Dr. Stephen A. Graczyk, M'20, and Dr. Antonio F. Bellanca, M'21. Dr. Graczyk, the first president and chief of staff of St. Joseph's Intercommunity Hospital, Cheektowaga, is a past president of the Erie County Medical Society, the Medical Alumni Association, the Western New York Geriatrics Society and the Erie County Chapter of the American Cancer Society. He is a Knight of St. Gregory. He was on the Medical School faculty from 1923 to 1960 as a clinical assistant professor of medicine. He is a veteran of both World War I and II. Dr. Bellanca has been chief of medicine at Columbus Hospital since 1948 and associated with the hospital since 1918. He was president of the medical and dental staff from 1947 to 1965. Dr. Bellanca interned at the Old City Hospital from 1921 to 1923. He served in the Student's Army Training Corps during World War I and was an army physician (lieutenant colonel) in North Africa during World War II. He is a past president of the Erie County Medical Society. Dr. Bellanca was an assistant in medicine on the faculty from 1923 to 1926.0 A group of former students of Dr. William Spencer MacComb, a 1927 graduate of the Medical School and one of Houston's senior surgeons, have formed a special society in his honor. The new W. S. MacComb Society meets annually in conjunction with other scientific organizations to help promote surgical and other hospital programs. Membership in the honorary group is limited to those men and 58 women who once studied under Dr. MacComb. Although the 70-year-old surgeon is semiretired, he continues to perform surgery at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute and the Regional Maxillofacial Restorative Center where he is director of surgical procedures. Long recognized as an outstanding surgeon for head and neck cancers, his real contribution to the field was his help in developing a treatment which combines surgery and radiotherapy, the latter being his original specialty. He trained under Dr. Hayes Martin in New York during the early 1930s when this approach was just beginning to be explored. Prior to that time radiation therapy was the primary treatment. Dr. Mac Comb has written two books on the subject which are universally regarded as authorities (one he co-authored with Dr. Gilbert Fletcher of the Anderson Hospital). As might be expected, he is a prolific author of scientific papers; belongs to several medical and scientific societies; has been awarded three special citations, two of which came from the American College of Surgeons, and has been president of The James Ewing Society twice and The American Radium Society. Dr. MacComb served his internship and residency in Rochester and New York City before moving to Texas in 1952.0 Dr. Charles R.

World-wide in distribution, he knows of no epidemiological factors for this chronic, febrile systemic disease that is rare i.n both women and in nonwhites and does not affect children.

By taking the problem of gastric stasis-a cause of gastric ulcer-to the laboratory, Dr. Lester R. Drags ted (University of Florida) showed that gastric retention and a higher secretion of gastrin may cause gastric ulcer. Resection of the antrum to correct high lying gastric ulcers may reduce gastric retention and secretion leading to ulcer healing. But he feels that these ulcers can be prevented by pyloroplasty. Hypersection of gastric juice by vagal influence suggests a sufficient cause for duodenal ulcer far-no acid, no ulcer. It is secretion he said that spells the difference between the gastric and duodenal ulcer. For Dr. A. C. Ivy (University of Chicago) who has authored over 1500 medical papers and started his study of GI hormones in 1919 it is hormonal relationships or its overlapping effects that confuses the subject. Secretin, gastrin, and cholscystine all expert an influence on various phases of GI function. To better understand and to explore some of the mechanisms of action on these hormones, over the years Dr. Ivy used himself as a guinea pig.

His small group of patients exhibited a 96 percent recovery rate with this peptic ulcer irradiation treatment that inhibited acid secretion, allowing the ulcer to heal. While he feels that it is not a definitive treatment for peptic ulcer, it is helpful in the control and recurrence of acid gastric juice. Cholestasis? asked Dr. H. Popper from Mount Sinai Hospital. Its symptoms-fever of unknown origin, intestinal diarrhea, arthritis, joint involvement, fistulas, and uric acid stones. Treatment, that depends on the specific cause, may be either corticoidsteroids or resection of the colon if it is colitis. In managing the seriously ill patient with ulcerative colitis Dr. J. A. Bargen, formerly of the Mayo Clinic and now residing in Riverside, California, pointed to a history of bloody mucous rectal discharges. The best drug for the disease? Azulfadine, one gram to be given every three hours round-the-clock . Within three to four days the bleeding in the stool recedes. But he cautioned that steroids are counterindicated and to "use sparingly" because of the many complications that he has seen. Most importantpatient but relentless treatment. The colon, reminded Dr. Henry L. Bockus of the University of Pennsylvania, is a shock organ for emotional aberrations. Functional colonpathies or an irritable colon is a common problem of gastroenterology. The important message is to treat the person and not the symptoms which occur early in life for the male or female who is very nervous, frequently constipated, ana has emotional diarrhea and some mucous discharge. The pain, never at night, can be quite severe and is frequently related to defecation. Case histories on habits-laxatives, enemasare important as are X-rays by a knowledgable person in functional disorders. "Try to get the patient out of his trouble. Use old-fashioned homespun psychotherapy," he said. Remind the patient that fatigue is bad as is excessive cigarette smoking and alcohol, and to stop abusing the bowel by persistent enemas and laxatives that should be taken only during an attack. But he also cautioned advising the patient to stay on a bland diet free from roughage and milk until you are certain that the patient is not milk sensitive. "And for goodness sakes, tell him that during an attack to stay off solid food, and to take hot baths in a tub.'' For those who came to honor the man "skilled in arts as well as in the science of medicine, who has devoted many years to continuing education,'' it was a day worthy of celebrating the fiftieth year of postgraduate instruction at the Buffalo Medical School. "How do I remember Dr. Aaron?" volunteered a participant. ''Between 6 and 8 every evening you will see him trudging the halls of the Buffalo General Hospit~l with a little black bag. To me he is a doctor's doctor.'' A proclamation by Buffalo's mayor proclaiming April 18 as Dr. Abe Aaron Day, a tribute from Dr. Russell S. Boles, and a reminder from the honoree that "it is the small things that turn us into what we are" added to the program that was planned by the coordinating committee of Drs. Harry Alvis, James F. Phillips, and Leonard Katz. 0 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �There were all the trappings of a successful 34th annual spring clinical days. The exciting scientific program planned by Dr. Lawrence Golden as part of the 125th anniversary of the University and Medical School, the progress reports on four new centers of specialized investigation and treatment, the 15 exhibits carefully planned and assembled, the business meeting and election of officers were marred only by a skimpy attendance (50-70) of alum- Spring Clinical Days ni. When the new University President spoke on the relationship of the medical school to the university, and the Stockton Kimball Lecturer reviewed the critical point at which academic medical centers find themselves today, the burgeoning attendance (250) in the Statler ballroom belied what is hoped is an ongoing interest of medical alumni for town and gown. Not only were basic physiological and pathological mechanisms pointed out by moderators at the four scientific sessions, but their practical applications by the panelists as well. While Dr. Lorna G. MacDougall, in the session on hemorrhagic and thromboembolic diseases, cautioned that the most important step is to first get the process stopped, Dr. Hans Grunwald, in his review of a different disease process, thrombocythemia where there is a low count of blood platelets, pointed to the importance of differentiating between defective production and excessive destruction, for the treatment differs in each. Dealing with the growing importance of von Willowbrandt's disease, one of the most common causes of hemorrhagic diseases, was Dr. Julian Ambrus. While the effectiveness of platelets obtained was reviewed by Dr. Rose Ellison, she also pointed to the ability to place children in remission more readily than adults. In Dr. Marvin Bloom's summation he reiterated the need for early clinical recognition and more therapy to quickly control the clotting process and to reduce the mortality of this disease. An interesting approach to renal insufficiency was presented. The case history of a 24-year old white female in chronic renal failure since 11 years of age was traced by physiologist, nephrologist, pathologist, and surgeon. While Dr. John Boylan presented the physiological progression of this disease, he pointed to the importance of planning for future treatment. Thus the case history, examination, and biopsy become crucial in assessing the kind and degree of renal involvement. It was quickly established that the pathologist evolves into a central role in both diagnosis and treatment of chronic renal disease. For there is a tremendous assist from the renal biopsy, said Dr. James Brennan, and patient consequences due to renal failure. When the patient reached the terminal stage of renal insufficiency she was referred to surgeon Sidney Anthone. He reviewed the evidence for hemodialysis and outlined two methods of gaining access to a patient's vascular system-the external shunt and the internal fistula. When his patient was returned to almost normal clinical conditions, she was considered for a transplant program. Her kidney was removed by radial nephrectomy, the pathology report confirming their prognoses over the 13-year period. FAll, 1971 5 The Scientific Program Nine classes h eld reunions during the annual Spring Clinical Days. Group pictures of these classes are on pages 51-59. �Th e main registration desk Spring Clinical Days Histocompatibility, immunological problems, and the drug therapy program on this patient were also reviewed. He assured the audience that hopefully the patient will live for many years with the new kidney donated by her brother. Antecedent events , psychometrics , management, and clinical assessment of therapy were traced by Tufts neurologist Edward F. Rabe in his review of a three-year followup on 27 minimal brain dysfunctioning children. In this session on the hyperactive child it appeared to be only when there was a learning problem in school that the child was brought to the attention of the doctor. The role of the psychologist and some of her tools was traced by Dr. Dorothy Rosenbaum while pediatrician Robert Warner reviewed rehabilitation for this type of child in which the key is an integrated/ multifaceted diagnosis. He cautioned the The panel on Hyperactive Child, Drs. R ubin, Wa rner, R osenbaum, R abe. �... - - -- audience to look for variability, emotional immaturity, hyperactivity, filtering ability, perception, and sequencing in pinpointing the child with minimal brain dysfunction. There was an impassioned plea from moderator Dr. Mitchell Rubin to obtain adequate help for overcoming difficulties for the many who are highly intelligent and very capable. What causes this defect? Perhaps it is due to development occurring very early in pregnancy, offered a panelist. Or perhaps the synapsis never formed, or is disconnected. Why is this defect more prevalent in the inner city? It may be the nutritional status of mothers during pregnancy, was irresponse. For the session on shock/myocardial infarction there were programs in both surgical and medical management. Asked moderator Dr. John R. Border, "what are we missing that is highly lethal in myocardial infarction shock?" He followed this up with a series of possibilities regarding ventricular failure that remain to be answered. For the various types of shock, each exhibiting a unique feature, internist Joseph Zizzi traced the drug approach. What he feels is important is to be able to predict the patient who will go into shock, its extent, and whether he or she will be a good or poor risk. While prevention is still the best measure, surgeon George Schimert feels that coronary grafts are helpful. He reviewed the outcome of 75 patients who received coronary grafts without significant ventricular or valvular pathology. Again the need to diagnose myocardial infarctions at a much earlier date was reiterated by program chairman Dr. Lawrence Golden, "since uncontrolled aspects act as a vicious cycle and worsen the state of the myocardium."D -- - Mrs. Stockton Kimball, Drs.

O'Connor (X-ray department, Sisters of Charity Hospital). �Spring Clinical Days Time out for coffee and a visit. Medical Changes To THE CAPACITY BALLROOM ASSEMBLY Stockton Kimball Lecturer Dr. John A.D. Cooper traced changes in the set of forces operating on medical centers since the Flexner Report of 1910, rise of Federal support for biomedical research after World War II and growing expectations of society for a better life including good·health. Prior to 1910 the practicing profession that comprised the medical school faculty essentially controlled its policies, insuring an immediate feedback from practice to programs and curriculum, and an influence in organization an·d delivery of medical care. But with the introduction of biomedical sciences, the medical school either became a part of a university or closed its doors, thus, a shift in influences on medical schools away from the community toward academia, with less time for academic responsibilities for the practicing physician and a replacement by fulltime clinical faculty of volunteer group. 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Growing both in size and complexity, academic medicine became self sufficient while its research advances fostered specialization. Thus, said the President of the Association of American Medical Colleges, there was a gradual replacement of empirical, palliative medicine with a more definitive, effective means for prevention, diagnosis, therapy that required a different kind of education for physicians. "But either the academic medical center did not perceive or chose to ignore this process of change in conditions of practice, in its implications for their role." Neither team approach, fragmented care, distribution of resources, accountability for quality of care or a containment of increased cost can be attained in the old approach to medical care. "Today the doctor needs a team of experts to work with him in applying fruits of biomedical research as well as 'tender loving care'." And for a system of health care defined with academic medical center involvement the specifications for either kinds or numbers of physicians may not fit their concepts. The set of circumstances that brought about intellectual separation between practicing and academic community must be changed, he said. ''For the practicing physician must understand implications of development in medicine on delivery of health care and academic institution must understand implications of medical practice on their curriculum and programs. A second problem was the support of research in academic medical centers by Federal government as the only channel for their expression of concern for health. Thus Centers developed the largest and most productive biomedical research enterprise the world has ever known. While research funds strengthened the fabric of medical centers, creating necessary milieu in which education programs appropriate to new medicine could be mounted, they also produced a distortion in financing of medical education. For there was no comparable support available for education and service, the other functions of the medical center. While Congress identified biomedical research as an important activity in national interest, the medical schools responded effectively in fulfilling public purpose. Other unfilled public purposes have also been identified by Congress. The Federal Government recognized some responsibility for support of medical education and delivery of health services. The Health Professions Education Act in 1963, Medicare in 1965, meant more health care required, more physicians needed to provide this care, enormous pressure on academic medical centers, financial stability for support unmatched by type and level of response demanded. It is the critical point in the history of academic medical centers. With over half the medical schools receiving funds under special project grant program of HPEA Act as institutions in financial distress, the level of support keeps most schools on the brink of bankruptcy. ''They have little energy left after fighting for their survival to plan new and innovative programs," Dr. Cooper said. With increase in delivery of health care undertaken by medical schools, and availability of either Federal funds or private insurance carriers to purchase this service, there arises a third probFALL, 1971 9 �The Stockton K imball lecture and luncheo n Spring Clinical Days The 1921 class party lem that he feels '' urgently requires an assessment of real costs for the complex and interrelated education, research and service programs of academic medical center, adequate and direct support of costs for each program by public and private sectors at levels which will permit them to meet pressing needs for their contribution.'' But he warned that there were at present no accurate data on these costs that were difficult to establish due to the great complexity of academic medical centers and the interrelations and interdependence of their programs. While an association cost allocation study of 38 medical centers over the past few years had identified costs of various functions in medical centers, instruction, research, health care and public service, he does not feel that it confronts the problem of assigning costs to programs. For there must be appropriate parts of research, costs of patient care required for teaching apportioned to costs for medical education, etc. Not yet determined are these apportionments that depend on subjective evaluation of the nature of education, the way in which a faculty member should spend his time. For he does not feel that they can be decided by a completely objective method. Broader, worldwide social changes, an increasing expectation of society for better health care was the last force outlined by Dr. Cooper. "Access to health care has been accepted as a right of every citizen without regard to his socio-economic status. Population growth, demographic changes, higher disposable income, increased coverage by third party payers, including the Federal Government, have escalated demands for health care and brought problems in providing access. In the absence of widely accepted ways to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of health care delivery, the solution proposed is simply to increase the number of physicians and' other health professionals to extend and expand the present system. With no way to estimate the magnitude of the expansion of health professionals needed to provide adequate accessibility of quality and quantity of care for all citizens, an arbitrary number say 50,000, is the only feasible approach because there are too many variables in the problem.'' 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �For example, there is no real way to exert controls over the geographic distribution of physicians or their area of specialization. Under the present set of marked forces neither the geographic nor the specialty distribution of physician manpower is responsive to the actual pattern of health needs. As a matter of fact, increasing the number of physicians would quite likely increase the gap in level of care between the " haves " and ''have nots. '' The effective demand for physician services is so great in areas attractive to physicians that any reasonable increase in numbers would not lead them into unattractive locations such as the ghetto or the isolated rural community. As a Congressman who is a lawyer said recently, " We train a lot of lawyers and many of them have a hard time making a living in the city but they won't practice in small towns.'' Dr. Cooper feels that medical schools are responding to the need to increase their class size even though support for this expansion-mostly from Federal sources-is inadequate and their financial distress deepens. He also pointed to the real possibility that in years ahead , Congress will ask " why are there no physicians serving the rural and urban poor when money was provided to the medical schools to educate physicians to meet these needs?'' They may also ask '' why do we not have larger classes graduating from medical schools? '' Unfortunately they don 't add ''for biomedical research.' ' But , the academic institution is a hardy species . The very characteristics that help it survive in adversity are those which prevent it from changing as rapidly as many would wish, to assume new responsibilities. But there is ample evidence that it is moving to meet new challenges-a revolution in curriculum. Perhaps flexibility in course requirements and the blurring of boundaries between the premedical, basic science, clinical and graduate phases of the e~ucational programs is occurring too rapidly and may derogate the quality of medical education. But community concern and activity will accelerate if overall funding problems of the institution can be solved. Legislation sponsored by the AAMC and now introduced in the Hou.se and Senate will go far in correcting the present imbalance in Federal support and make it possible for the academic medical centers to bring about a more rational distribution of their efforts in relation to the community health scene and national objectives. " This is a first step to get us out of our unhappy state, ' ' he concluded.

FALL, 1971 11 �Two distinguished medical educators were honored by the Medical Alumni Association at the Stockton Kimball lecture. They were Dr. Abraham H. Aaron, who launched the continuing medical education program at the University in 1920, and Dr. 0. P. Jones, Professor and Head of the Anatomy Department since 1943. Dr. Jones joined the faculty in 1937. The 81-year-old Dr. Aaron is still practicing medicine. He is a two-time President of the American Gastroenterological Association editor-emeritus of the Association's journal, GASTROENTEROLOGY, and recipient of its highest award, the Friedenwald Medal. He is now clinical professor-emeritus of medicine at the University. Dr. Jones, who received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1935 and his M.D. from the University of Buffalo in 1956, will retire as department chairman in August. 0 The Relation of the Medical School to the University by President Robert L. Ketter An address presented at Spring Clinical Days. Much of the criticism of American universities in recent years has been directed toward an imbalance of emphasis among the traditional teaching, research, and service roles assumed by our institutions of higher education. Coincidentally, criticism of the health care system has centered upon aspects of health care which are intimately related to these three roles as they are applicable to the medical schools within the nation's universities. Therefore, the response of the nation's medical schools to criticism of the health care system will undoubtedly color the response that their parent institutions will be considered to have made to those criticisms which have been aimed more broadly at higher education. As a result, the relationship of the Medical School to the University is one of particular importance. This is not to say, however, that the relationship at this University has not always been one which has had some special significance attached to it. It has! In fact, for 40 years the Medical School was the University; the historically inclined among you might argue that the University qS we know it today would never have come into existence if it had not been for the health care needs of the community prior to 1846. As a result of this long relationship-and because of the nature of the School itselfthe Medical School is probably the most visible element of the University within the community. One can hardly utilize the local health care system without being reminded of the School and the University through the presence of faculty and students in 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �- ---- -- ~ the community's hospitals and clinics. Also, this visibility is heightened by the fact that the Medical Schoolhas drawn heavily upon the local area for its students, and that many of these students, once graduated, have chosen to remain here in the metropolitan community. One figure indicates that 65 per cent of the physicians in Erie County are alumni of this School and University. Additionally, the entire University is enhanced by the reflection from the tremendous strides the faculty of this School has made in medical research. One of the many examples of this is the development of the PKU tests by Dr. Robert Guthrie. Advances of this sort have effects far beyond the use which can be made of them in specific disciplines. Nevertheless, the temper of the times, as I have indicated, imparts an added importance to this continuing relationship. The University response to the contemporary social malaise which confronts this society's institutions and systems will be judged on the basis of the response of its constituent parts. This is especially the case in regard to the Medical School. Both the University and the School-together with all other universities and medical schools-have been accused, although for different reasons, of not having fulfilled their teaching obligations. Insofar as this criticism is directed at the University, I believe it is aimed particularly at what is done on the undergraduate level. And I believe that we have indeed been remiss in this area. We must act to insure that all our students-undergraduate, graduate, and professional-have access to the best minds of our faculty in both formal and informal learning situations. Also, we must be prepared to recognize and reward the faculty member who is an exceptional teacher. In other words, we can no longer afford to pay only lip-service to the importance of teaching in this or any other university. Simultaneously, we must rememberand our critics also must remember-that a university is composed Spring Clinical Days �of many elements. An effective method of teaching in one area may not be effective in another. Also, the University's research and service roles are valuable adjuncts to the teaching process, and they will be used to support this process with varying degrees of emphasis in different disciplines. In our medical schools, where research and service are extraordinarily integral to the teaching process, we have been accused of both teaching too few students and of pushing those we have taught in the wrong direction. The National Commission on Health Manpower has claimed that there is a shortage of 50,000 practicing physicians . Dr. John Knowles pointed out in 1969 that "of the 315,000 physicians in the United States today, only 60 per cent are in active practice, whereas in 1950, 72 per cent of the total were. The numbers of medical graduates who enter research, teaching, industrial, administrative, and institutional careers continue to increase," he said. The social awareness of today's young people may prove in itself to be an important factor in reversing this trend. Dr. Bertram Lowy, of the Albert Einstein Medical College, was quoted recently in the New Yark Times as having said that "if the students who come in now for interviews stick to what they claim they will do ten years from now, then (many of) our problems about the delivery of health services may be solved because the majority are interested in community health." Dean Pesch, in the same article, also noted an increased social concern among medical students. Our schools, however, must create channels for the effective educational direction of this concern. Therefore, I view the continuing development of our Division of Family Practice as a particularly important aspect of our total medical effort. Actually, the Medical School acknowledged some time ago the need for additional practitioners . A gradual increase in enrollment culminated this year in a freshman class of 125 students-up twenty-one over the previous year-and a total school enrollment of 464, which includes an expansion of twenty-one places at the second and third-year levels. In one year, then, the School increased its enrollment by forty-two students. Recent projections call for the eventual doubling of the graduating class. One cannot mention this increased enrollment without noting that the Medical School has been a leader within the University in recruiting minority group students. The School had only nine minority group members in its entire enrollment in 1969. Now, there · are 29 minority group students in the first-year class and 37 in the total School enrollment. These figures reflect a continuing University-wide commitment to the thought that education must be available for those other than the affluent or the extremely gifted few. In regard to .increased admissions, however, I must point out that if the Federal and State governments are indeed committed to producing more practitioners, then they will have to demonstrate that commitment to a much greater extent than they presently are doing in the area of student financial assistance. Provision of this assistance is crucial if the need for additional manpower is to be met. We can also help in regard to the total health manpower situation by aiding the creation 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �of sound educational programs for teaching auxiliary health personnel and developing new and more effective uses for such personnel. Additionally, we must continue to develop a system which insures that all practitioners are kept up-to-date in their fields. Fortunately, our Department of Continuing Medical Education already provides the firm foundation which is required in this area. In general, I think the Medical School-as well as the University-must maintain a critical attitude toward the curriculum and toward the teaching process itself. We must be willing to experiment with new methods and new patterns; we must be willing to take advantage of the technology available to us; we must question whether or not the time now required to earn a degree is actually needed. Moreover, this critical attitude should always be accompanied by a strong sense of educational purpose rather than showmanship. Although a shortage of practitioners has been recognized by many persons in the medical profession as a deterrent to adequate health care, other persons-including those who point to the shortage-believe that numbers alone will not produce the comprehensive health care which the American citizen quite rightly feels he is entitled to receive. Instead, these persons say that the health care system itself must be transformed to overcome the geographic and socio-economic inequities in the present distribution and availability of faqilities, services and personnel. Additionally, it appears to be increasingly fashionable to argue that more doctors functioning in more facilities and a more efficient system are not the primary needs in providing comprehensive health care. Earl Ubell, writing in the New York Times, points out that some parties to the health care controversy believe that ''in the modern world, housing, nutrition, accident prevention, sanitation-clean water, food, streets and homeshave produced more health than all the doctors and hospitals combined. ' ' He also cites the article by Dr. Nathan Glazer, which appeared in the winter issue of The Public Interest. Dr. Glazer, according to Mr. Ubell, "argues . . . that our personal, psychological and cultural milieu-that is , the way we have learned to take care of ourselves-may be as important as better environmental conditions and certainly more important than doctors and doctoring.'' In my own view, there is a validity to each of these identified solutions to providing better health care-and consequently better health. However, I feel very strongly that we should not lose sight of the ultimate goal by protracted bickering about whose theory should be accorded primacy and whose discipline, in the end, will get the largest share of the monetary pie. However, I believe that the political realities of the situation will prevent this from happening. We can and are producing more doctors who will be needed to meet the increased demand for medical care that has grown and will continue to grow as this care becomes financially feasible for a greater part of the population. And the public demand is for that care to be within the financial means of all our FALL, 1971 15 Spring Clinical Days �Four 1946 graduates, w ho shared the sam e anatomy table in 1943 . are Drs. Paul M. Walczak, Fred S . Schwarz , Harry Petzing and R obert ]. Potts. Spring Clinical Days citizens. Additionally, from among the welter of legislation now introduced on the federal and state level, it is clear that we will be dealing with some form of a re-directed health care system for providing comprehensive care . The development and improvement of this system should be of primary concern to our Medical School in its research and service roles. We should understand from the outset, however, that our medical schools can neither run nor automatically transform the health care system. First, they do not have the resources. Second, they do not control the certification processes for individuals and systems. And third, the real political power lies elsewhere. To pretend or imply that the medical schools can make a greater impact on the health care system than they actually can is not desirable for either the school or the University. The universities in this country have already been overly extravagant in their claims to service, and the public reaction to this extravaganceand the resultant unfulfilled expectations-is no small factor in the present antagonism toward higher education. However, this Medical School can contribute within the limits of its resources and power to the development of a more comprehensive health care system. I have pointed previously to some of the actions we can and are taking in teaching. In terms of service, we can emphasize and participate in the cooperative planning that will be required to create model enterprises within a comprehensive health care system. Such models, tested on a small scale in an educational setting, can, if successful, be adopted elsewhere in the nation . Also, we already operate services within many of the existing health care agencies in this community. Through scholarly examinations of these services and agencies, we can aid them in the process of becoming more effective for more persons. But basically, our service role, beyond the actual care our people deliver in local facilities as part of the educational process-will be limited to the planning and model testing I have already mentioned. Here, we must use the best of our imagination, our critical abilities, and our concern for the individual person, for it is in this area-the delivery of care-that the medical profession will be judged most immediately as to whether it can or cannot meet the needs of the people who depend upon it. The teaching and service roles of the medical school-and of tpe University-cannot be properly fulfilled without a strong commitment to research. Our medical schools are now being criticized for having overemphasized this aspect of their existence. More specifically, some persons criticize the forty-year emphasis on biomedical science tp the neglect of other areas containing opportunities for broad interdisciplinary studies, such as in the social sciences, engineering, and education. The danger of this type of criticism, I believe, is that it can lead to an over-reaction. For instance, in the University as a whole-which also has been criticized for over-emphasizing research-the temptation for some persons is to deny research the importance it has in the educational process. This cannot be allowed to happen. And it would be equally absurd to pretend 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �that we can dispense with bio-medical research. Nevertheless, the degrees of emphasis within our research activity must be calculated according to educational and public need. In the area of medicine, I believe this means we will have to give increased attention to the influence of environmental and social factors in health, and to viable methods for altering these environmental and social factors to the benefit of the individual. In summary, we have considered briefly some of the ways in which the University and the Medical School can meet their separate and mutual obligations in their teaching , research, and service roles. Simply stated , I think we must always act within our resources and capabilities; and we must recognize that fulfillment of the educational process requires us to act in each of the three roles, but never to view a single role as an end in itself.O Dr. Paul French, M'61, Wes t Palm Beac h Four University Centers As part of Spring Clinical Days a progress report on four centers established at the University-The Center for Immunology, the Laboratory for Environmental Physiology, the Center for Alcoholism , and the Center for Mental Hygiene-was presented. Creation of The Center for Immunology, its director Noel R. Rose said, has enabled expansion of a broad scope of immunological research in Buffalo, the nationally recognized leader in this field. Its origin, he explained, is an outgrowth of a program initiated by Dr . Ernest Witebsky when he first came to Buffalo in 1936. While this distinguished professor witnessed "virtually all of the growth of immunology during his lifetime, when he cherished most was the love and affection of his students. No graduate of this Medical School, since 1936 , has remained untouched by Dr . Witebsky ' s enthusiasm for truth or his compassion for human suffering, " Dr. Rose said. " A dedicated physician and a truly great teacher, we hope that The Center for Immunology will honor him. ' ' Th e 1936 Class R eun ion Party �Spring Clinical Days Dr. Rose proudly announced the University's commitment to The Center (in its establishment and in providing support) as well as Annual Participating Fund for MedicalEducation(APFME) support until a source for a permanent Ernest Witebsky endowment to cover teaching and research of immunology is established. He expressed the hope that all former students of Dr. Witebsky will recognize the contributions that this great man has made and will want to contribute to the Ernest Witebsky Endowment through the UB Foundation, Inc. "Only through support of alumni of this school,'' he concluded, ''will it be possible to continue and expand this work.'' In his report on the Laboratory for Environmental Physiology (PROJECT THEMIS), director Leon Farhi explained that all physiology department members interested in exposure to altitude, abnormal temperature environments of very hot or very cold temperatures, and high pressure work together and share their interests. In envisioning a working laboratory, it was decided that a centrifuge generating from one to seven G, a capsule weighing one ton that will hurl a subject around the room at 32 revolutions per minute, and a protective wall of solid concrete eight by te'n feet were necessary. But why not use the wall as a water wall, a swimming pool, asked the group who are also interested in submergence studies? Explained Dr. Farhi, the remainder of the project's development appeared so logical that "one needed only to sit back and watch it fall into' place.'' Its concentric arrangement permits unlimited swimming and running, thus offering an alternate use for the expensive equipment-the centrifuge which can be adjusted for either fast or slow speeds, and the monitoring system. From the observation window, itself a powerful tool, one can observe both swimming pool and about half of the entire area. Signals, originating from any of the experiments, are fed into the centrifuge and computer that feeds back signals to control the centrifuge. 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A high pressure chamber, capable of simulating pressures down to one mile (the bottom of the ocean) will have both wet and dry chambers. And as a safety device, escape will only be possible by using air at its top. With the building completed (with endowment funds from the Medical School) and all of the equipment on order, it is hoped that the laboratory will be fully operational by the fall, he explained. The Center for Alcoholism, a year old, is a coordinated effort between the New York State Department of Mental Hygiene and the University, director Cedric M. Smith explained. Its planning document called for an initial budget of six million plus a staff of 400. Envisioned as a research facility with perhaps some clinical facility assocated with it, major goals are improvement in care programs for the alcoholic, an understanding of alcohol action in the molecular sense, and development of more rational therapies. However, what has been accomplished to date, the chairman of pharmacology pointed out, is the hiring of one senior research scientist, one technician, and one secretary. While three other positions were approved and subsequently frozen, space has been approved for seven at the Meyer Hospital. Researchwise, Dr. Smith pointed to the findings that alcohol in low concentrations causes excitation of muscle spindles. ''This,'' he continued ''may supply some clue to the alcohol mechanism.'' He also pointed to animal models that they now have for alcohol problems and its syndrome. The Center for Mental Hygiene is now ready for occupancy, its director William Edgecomb informed the group. It will be headed by a psychiatrist, have an administrative backup staff, and clinical teams to service cachment areas that will be headed by advisory committees. How will it be funded? By federal, state, local and private monies to the tune of 21/z to 3 million dollars a year, Dr. Edgecomb reported. "We are now in the process of negotiating for a full range of services to children through the Psychiatric Clinic, Inc., and space has been set aside. As the Center (located adjacent to the Buffalo General Hospital) will only be able to supply inpatient care up to 90 days, a contract is being negotiated for long-term services that may be necessary with the Buffalo State Hospital. "A career development program?" someone asked. Yes, responded Dr. Edgecomb. The beginnings have been developed by the Erie County Mental Health Department for workers and technicians for without such a program there will be no community support for The Center.O The Regional Medical Program of Western New York received a $1,363,440 grant in April from the Health Services Mental Health Administration, Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Dr. John R. F. lngall, program director, said that of this grant $197,108 has been re-appropriated for the development of the Model Respiratory Unit at the Millard Fillmore Hospital. Overhead and indirect cost amount to $260,408, which leaves $905,924 available to operate all of the other aspects of the Western New York program for the next year.O FALL, 1971 19 Dr. Smith $1,363,440 Grant �The setting, for the 125th class day exercises for the School of Medicine, was impressive. There was the solemnity and awe of the main auditorium at Kleinhans Music Hall. There were the black-robed graduates filling the front rows, and the faculty, some of whom wore the newly-designed green and blue robes to commemorate the one and a quarter century anniversary of the University, seating themselves on the stage. There was the elan of the families who came to honor the Class of 1971. And there was also the informality that was "right" for the occasion. While many of the graduates' progeny contented themselves with suckling on their bottles of formula, others systematically traded seats across aisleways or set up a singsong of chatter to their peers in another section of the auditorium. To his 109 classmates - who are now physicians and therefore leaders in the community, there was ·a charge by class president Charles A. Stuart to ''be an active leader'' for ''it is our responsibility to become involved in those things that affect the quality of life." To two very special men, there was special mention by David A. Bloom, class of 1971 (Dr. Oliver P. Jones and Dr. Samuel Sanes are retiring this year after distinguished careers in medicine.) And in his introduction of the MEDENTIAN dedicatee, Dr. Mohamed Megahed, the " gentlemen and scholar who, to us (the graduating class) exemplifies the best in medicine. There were fond remembrances for this man ''we have known since our freshman year when he first helped us with the mysteries of the neuralanatomy exams.'

M egahed, spoke to the graduating class of 1971. Dr. M egahed is a clinical assistant professor of anatomy and neurology at the university. "Mr. Chairman, My Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen . . . Permit me to congratulate you from the depth of my heart. Permit me to return my gratitude for the honor done me which I scarcely deserve the credit for. By you, the graduating class of 1971 in your generous and gracious citation. Employing the same words my sincere respect to you for you have been openly thoughtful and most of all consistently helpful. I sincerely wish I could say a few words and then take each by the hand. If I could do so I would first thank you individually for your confidence and trust. Today you deserve to experience this glorious feeling of satisfaction that comes from reaching an important milestone. You have worked very hard. You and your families have made sacrifices; to cover the vast field of medicine in four years is an impossible task. The education of most people ends upon graduation; but yours means a lifetime of continuous education. That education which should follow your degree is, after all, the most important part of your career. Provided you do that, I am afraid your famous diagnosis just a week ago when you were only students of "God Only Knows" will always be at the top of your list. Our job as your teachers was not to supply information. It was to raise in you a certain sense of thirst and we hope we have succeeded. I am proud to admit that I learned and will learn a lot from you. Was it not Charles W. Eliot, the famous president of Harvard, who was asked by one of his students: "Mr. President, since you became president, ·Harvard has become a storehouse of knowledge? 'That is true my son', laughed Eliot. 'But I scarcely deserve the credit for that. It is simply that you as a freshman bring so much and as a senior will take away so little. ' '' My friends, you have great responsibilities upon your young shoulders. To you has been intrusted the almost divine art of healing. Please be constantly alert that those who are depending upon you may not be betrayed. My friends, some of you expressed fear to me. To those I would say do not be afraid of tomorrow for you have seen yesterday and you love today. Speaking of fear, as a teacher, I may fear the chairman, who may fear the dean, who may fear the president, who is afraid of the tax-paying parents, who are afraid of their children, the students-who of course fear no one! On a great occasion as today, I am supposed to give some advice and it will be few! . . . Remember that the specialty of medicine is like rowing upstream, not to advance is to drop back . . . . Remember to be responsible in your work but forget not, some people grow under responsibility, others only swell. . . . Remember to remain sincere to your profession, your school, to your patients and above all to yours elves. You will always reach greater h eight if you have more depth . . . . And please remember all of us. Incidentally now that you are graduating, I have a confession. Half of all that I have taught you is wrong. But the trouble is that I don't know which half!! 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �John Wendell, Drs. Brow n, Pesch , hood a student. Medicine is a challenge to you because it changes every hour of every day. So do not, do not accept what we have taught you as final and conclusive. Please keep an open eye, open mind, and above all an open heart. Now, let us all share together a great prayer by a great physician . . . Moses Ben Maimon(Maimonides) (1135-1204). Thou has endowed man with wisdom to relieve the suffering of his brother, to recognize his disorders, to extract the healing substances, to discover their powers and prepare and to apply them to suit every ill. Imbue my soul with gentleness and calmness when older colleagues, proud of their age, wish to displace me or to scorn me or disdainfully to teach me, for they know many things of which I am ignorant. Grant me an opportunity to improve and extend my training, since there is no limit to knowledge. Help me to correct and supplement my educational defects as the scope of science and its horizon widen day by day . Give me the courage to realize my daily mistakes so that tomorrow I shall be able to see and understand in a better light what I could not comprehend in the dim light of yesterday. Bless me with a spirit of devotion and self sacrifice so that I can treat and heal thy suffering servants and prevent disease and preserve health to the best of my ability and knowledge. Let me see in the sufferer the man alone. Grant that my patients have confidence in me and my art and follow my directions and counsel. Grant me neither greed for gain nor thirst for fame nor ambition in vain. For these are enemies of truth and love of men. Give me the energy to sustain and help the rich and poor, the good and bad, the enemy and friend. Thank you. " 0 FALL, 1971 23 �GI Diseases Self Education There is a new approach to the study of gastrointestinal diseases at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. It is through self education, a process that must continue throughout the life-span of a physician. And simplicity is what the GI unit's clinical head, Dr. Leonard Katz, hopes each student and house staffer will find as he uses audio/ visual technology to study GI problems. They will have access to a library of films, X-rays , photomicrographs, and taped lectures (in the new suite of conference room and offices), to a teaching collection of pathology slides painstakingly assembled by Dr. Michael Gagliardi, a clinical fellow, and to individual folders of medical articles on each disease state. If a student misses a lecture he need only plug a tape into a cassette at his convenience or replay portions that remain unclear while he scans the synchronized audio/ visual material that accompanies the tape. Teaching remains a full-time job for Dr. Katz who stresses the clinical aspects of GI diseases to medical students, interns, and residents who rotate through the service. For the hospital serves the community and the training of future physicians is imperative. There are weekly outpatient clinics that remain the referral and consultation center for the hospital and where the number of 20 to 25 patients per session reflects the steady increase. At the weekly conferences the medical! surgical relationship in the GI unit is obvious as medical and surgical staff present their views at each case presentation. There are also the inpatient facilities in the second new GI suite where diagnostic procedures are performed. As hospital physicians become more familiar with gastroscopy and esophascopy motility procedures, they are more frequently utilized in the hospital. But diagnostic studies for both GI and liver disease in the interdisciplinary diagnostic laboratory continue to be the prime function of the GI unit. It was Dr. Katz's principal task when he arrived in Buffalo two years ago to firmly establish a hospitalbased patient center which represented a shift away from the former orientation of private practitioner's office. Technological advances in diagnostic procedures have changed the role of surgery for a patient with GI problems. The fibre gastroscope and camera permits a wider view of the patient's stomach and photos that provide a permanent patient record. Through a gastric analysis (one of the major functions in diagnostic studies of GI problems) and a direct look into the stomach with the gastroscope, the physician can more accurately determine whether there is a simple peptic ulcer or malignancy involved. But there are also pancreatic function studies as well as instruments that make their way up into the colon, thus reducing the need for diagnostic surgery. Research, both clinical and basic, continues in the GI unit. While Dr. Gerard Burns, assistant professor of surgery, looks at the various aspects of surgical GI physiology, his three research fellows explore different subjects in their animal experiments. For Dr. D. Alan Aubrey it is the effects of various agents on the gastric mucosa of the dog, measuring these effects 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Katz goes over biopsy slides with medical student.

Shah that almost every disease problem has a surgical relationship. and examining ways in which they may be altered. He has shown that antihistamines can be used to minimize injurious effects of certain agents on the stomach. For Dr. Y. Tokura it is the surgical side that is of interest. In circulation of the GI tract he has shown that bilateral sympathectomy has a transitory effect in reducing GI blood flow. He is also studying effects of arterial obstruction in splanchnic circulation to determine how it can produce changes in parts of the GI tract due to either ischemia or to hyperemia that occurs through collateral circulation. Carrying out studies on experimental cirrhosis of the liver is Dr. Wilhelm Kreuzer. What changes it produces in hepatic circulation is what this surgeon, who has done considerable work on the use of the splanchnic artery as a method of implanting a new arterial blood supply to the liver, wants to find out. Adding his unique combination of clinical and research expertise to the GI unit is Dr. Martin Plaut. He is responsible for the overall medical research program and will continue his work on the major structure of lgM immunoglobulin that was initiated under Dr. Thomas Tomasi. He also looks forward to more studies on the biological function of the GI tract's immune system. For while there is treatment for many GI ailments their mechanisms are yet unknown. In the intestinal tract, a hostile environment, everything is breaking down, he said. "The intestinal fluid breaks down the intestinal globulin at such a rapid rate that it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what is happening.'' While serving in Thailand for two years, Dr. Plaut found a number of forms of GI function. If you biopsy the intestine in a patient with diarrhia or tropical sprue, you will find these abnormalities duplicated in the entire population. He also started to work on the structure of the lgM macroglobulin and to study proteins applicable to the GI tract. ''From the clinical problems in the community to the special diagnostic problems of the patient in the hospital, from the training of skills in this area as well as investigations to explain the scope from clinical to very basic research, it is in the coordination of efforts in GI disease that we are concentrating,'' summed up Dr. Katz. D 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Medentian Honors Two Professors Two friends as well as teachers have been cited in the MEDENTIAN student yearbook for the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry. To Dr. Mohamed S. Megahed, assistant clinical professor of neurology and anatomy, whom the class of 1971 first met in their freshman year during neuroanatomy, additional contact for several in his neurology elective during the sophomore year, and a re-aquaintance for the entire class during their various rotations in the junior and senior years at the Meyer Hospital, "best wishes for health, happiness and continued knowledge.'' For Dr. Megahed, who more than anyone else they have met, "has been openly thoughtful, consistently helpful, and has always treated us with sincere respect." Born and educated in Egypt, Dr. Megahed graduated from the Cairo Medical School and served six years as physician to the Royal Palace of Saudi Arabia. Before coming to the United States in 1964 he continued his neurology training in London, England. Some of his recent work includes research on cerebral schistosomiasis, vertigo, and vertebral basilar insufficiency. To Dr. William D. Ziter, associate professor of oral surgery, "the dedication of our yearbook . . . is a genuine expression of gratitude. . .for being our teacher, preceptor, counselor, colleague, and friend. Paramount in his teaching are fairness, encouragement to the less gifted, challenge to the more accomplished, dedication . . . respect for fellow men be they colleagues or patients, and a marvelous zeal with which he performs his labor of love-educating." Dr. Ziter is a Tufts University graduate. There were also special appreciations for two faculty members who will retire this year-Dr. Oliver P. Jones who is retiring as chairman of the department of anatomy but willretain his professorship, and Dr. Samuel Sanes, professor of pathology. For Dr. Jones there were thanks "from your first 34 years of medical and dental students." For Dr. Sanes there was praise for his years of dedicated service as both professor and friend to the medical and dental community from the students who enjoyed his "superb teaching, his wisdom, and his wit."D Six continuing medical education conferences have been scheduled during September, October and November at the Medical School. The 6th annual Buffalo Environmental Pulmonary Disease Conference will be Sept. 22-24 . There will be three conferences in October- Obstetrics and Gynecology for the Family Physician, Oct. 5 and 6, and the 51st annual Program on Trends in Internal Medicine, Oct . 6-8. On Nov. 4 and 5, there will be a conference on Comprehensive Health Care for the Aging. Two other conferences have been scheduled before the Christmas holidays, but dates have not been set. They are: Modern Concepts in Coronary Care, and Contemporary Psychopharmacology for Psychiatrists .0 FALL, 1971 27 Dr. Ziter Dr. Megahed Continuing Medical Education �Dr. Harold Brody, professor of anatomy, talks to a future student.

Open House The Medical School, along with other schools and departments of the University, hosted an estimated 19,000 people at the first open house ever held by the 125-year-old institution. :All types were in attendance (May 2) - grandmothers, entire families with children, high school students, long-hairs, professional men and women, alumni and people who had never set foot on the campus before. They viewed approximately 100 educational exhibits, met the president, and visited with faculty and students. Others ate hot dogs, attended lectures and musical performances. The open house idea was conceived and outlined by Mr. Theodore V. Palermo, director of University Publications, a member of the 125th Anniversary Policy Committee.D 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The Center for Immunology History The Center for Immunology was established at the State University of New York at Buffalo three years ago as an integral part of the School of Medicine and the Health Sciences Center. It is an expression of the University's commitment to a science that continued to expand until it grew beyond the boundaries of a single department. As an interdisciplinary science, immunology attracts research specialists in chemistry, biology, medicine, pathology, surgery, forensic medicine, biochemistry and other disciciplines. But this very interdependence proves to be its strength as well as a handicap to future growth. While fields such as biochemistry and surgery are recognized as departments within a university, immunologists are scattered among several departments. The creation of The Center assured the coordination and extension of a wide scope of immunological research and teaching in Buffalo. To head the newly created Center in December, 1967, Dr. Ernest Witebsky, Distinguished Professor and past chairman of the Department of Bacteriology and Immunology, was selected. The Center was inaugurated as part of an international conference on immunology held in Buffalo in June, 1968. At the ceremonies in the Statler Hilton, Dr. Witebsky was honored for nearly 50 years of commitment to the development of immunology in all its facets. This internationally renowned investigator who had made so many contributions to medical education in Buffalo had also participated in most of the important immunological advances of the past hatf century. His contributions have greatly expanded basic knowledge in the areas of blood groupings, transfusion and transplantation, and immunological disease. �Research It seemed a natural evolution that Buffalo was selected as the site for such a center. It represented one of the few institutions in the world to include the five most important fields of immunology as it applies to human health and disease: Microbial immunology, the investigation of resistance against infections such as pneumonia, whooping cough, influenza, pol iomyel it is Immunogenetics, the study of inheritance of factors responsible for differentiating man by blood and tissue groups that are so important to the success of transfusion and transplantation Immunopathology, disorders of the immune system such as allergy (asthma, hay fever, and severe drug reactions) and autoimmune disease (disorders caused by immunological responses to the body's own tissue) Immunological analysis of tissues to pinpoint the biological components that are responsible for the amazing cell differences found in both normal tissues and cancer lmmunodiagnosis, the application of immunological procedures to the detection of disease states At the Children's Hospital there were investigations in bacterial and viral immunity. Studies on allergy and immunological disorders were underway within the University's department of medicine and at the Buffalo Genera I and E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospitals. At Roswell Park Memorial Institute there were programs in the immunochemistry and immunogenetics of cancer. Over the past two decades severa·l major immunological laboratories developed in Buffalo. Dr. Witebsky's own studies were carried out at the Buffalo General Hospital Today not only. does The Center foster and the State University at Buffalo's deimmunological research within other Uni- . partment of bacteriology and immunology. versity departments, but its permanent staff of investigators, visiting scientists, and postdoctoral fellows pursue research into the fundamental character of the immunological response. Extensive collaboration within the Health Sciences ·Center, affiliated hospitals, and many national and international institutions is also underway. �\ I Immunology �Immunology The present director of The Center is Dr. Noel R. Rose, professor of microbiology. The resident staff consists of Drs. Pierluigi E. Bigazzi, Bruce S. Rabin and Richard H. Zeschke. Guiding The Center is an advisory committee, appointed annually by the vice president for Health Sciences and a scientific board selected by The Center director and his advisory committee. The advisory committee regularly reviews The Center's scientific programs and plans long-range activities. Advisory Committee E. Calkins, M.D. ]. T. Danielli, Ph.D. R. T. McCluskey, M.D., chairman F. Milgram, M.D. L. Pesch, M.D., ex officio C. L. Randall, M.D., ex officio �Training Graduate and Professional Summer School The Center serves as a focus for both teaching and training. Outstanding immunologists in the community staff The Center and assure a greatly strengthened teaching program in immunology to students in the health professions. Graduate students are assigned to The Center for experimentation leading to their theses. Several formal courses in immunology provided by Center members and sponsored by the Department of Microbiology are Principles of Immunology, Immunogenetics, Immunochemistry, and a seminar series in Clinical Immunology. A three-week Summer School exposes a limited registration of national and foreign medical and science graduates to the current methods of immunological research and diagnosis. While research workers from other fields acquire skill in conducting immunologic experiments, practicing physicians gain a basic understanding of immunologic problems to apply to specific medical problems. Postdoctoral Postdoctoral training is another main objective of The Center that is in a unique position of providing broad experience because of its many-faceted approach to immunology. In addition to American and Canadian physicians and scientists, visitors from Austria, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Israel and Rumania have recently participated in our training program that may cover one to three years. While they perform their research there is ample opportunity to learn general and applied immunology. Meetings There are monthly meetings sponsored by The Center where senior immunologists in the community discuss current research topics and become better acquainted. International meetings on the various aspects of immunology are also the responsibility of The Center. Two have been held (June 1968, 1970). At each meeting, over 450 scientists from across the United States and many foreign countries came to learn and to exchange views on the immune response . The published proceedings are widely used as reference books. In connection with The Center, the World Health Organization has established in Buffalo a regional reference center for the Americas. It aids in the research , teaching, and clinical service of the expanding field of the study of autoimmune disorders. Scientific Board State University of New York at Buffalo G.

Rural Health Care Twenty-two health sciences students, representing the Schools of Dentistry, Health Related Professions, Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy, are participating in a rural health care ''Externship" program sponsored by the Regional Medical Program for Western New York. Nineteen of the participating students are from the University. The special eight-week preceptorship started June 21 in Allegany, Cattaraugus , Chautauqua, and Niagara Counties. A.s sisting in sponsoring the 1971 Rural Externship Program are the Health Organization of Western New York, Inc . [advisory body to the Regional Medical Program) and the five Health Sciences Schools. ''The 1971 Rural Externship Program is exploring new ways of solving the health care manpower shortage in the rural areas of Western New York. We want the students to experience firsthand the need for health care in these rural areas and encourage health sciences students to pursue careers in these rural communities," Dr. J. Warren Perry commented. Dr. Perry, Dean of the School of Health Related Professions at th_e University , has acted during the year as Chairman of the RMP Rural Health Manpower Committee, which worked to plan and organize the Rural Externship Program. Dr. Perry is also co-director for the program, along with Gene A. Bunnell, Associate for Planning, Regional Medical Program for Western New York. A student coordinator is working with students and professionals in the field. All participating students receive a $100 per week stipend. The program is being funded by the Regional Medical Program for Western New York, and by local contributions from hospitals, physicians, and counties throughout the region. In the summer of 1970 the Student American Medical Association, under contract with the Appalachian Regional Commission, developed a nine-week program for medical, dental and nursing students. The Regional Medical Program for Western New York assisted in placing the students with preceptors in Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties. Five University of Buffalo health sciences students who have been involved in the year-long planning of the 1971 summer program are: David Breen, medicine; Carol Herzlinger, dentistry; Michael Kellick, pharmacy; Patricia Abbott, nursing; and Allan Trumball, health related professions. These students helped to organize and recruit externs for the summer project within their respective schools and professions. The students are assigned to a preceptor-either a physician, nurse, dentist, pharmacist, or allied health professional-in the rural area who will be responsible for the general professional supervision of the student.

Testifying before a House Veterans Affairs Subcommittee in May, Dean J. Warren Perry of the School of Health Related Professions said: "Health care in this country will never be a workable system until all the health professionals are recognized for what each can contribute.'' Asked how to end the ''fighting which has continually been taking place'' and overcome problems of vested interests among segments of the medical community, Dean Perry replied: "It starts with education and respect for each other. "0 FALL, 1971 35 David Breen �T wo gen eration s of teach ers exchange ideas with sophom ore m edical stud ent Na n cy V. Lieberman . Dr. S amuel Sanes (middle) w h ose interest in path ology was spurred by Dr. K ornel Terplan (right). I A Devotion to the Art of Medicine IT WAS HIS LAST TASK AS a medical teacher and the end of his 40-year career with medical students. He wondered whether he was not presumptuous to bring in the ' 'art of medicine'' to this, his last basic pathology class . But for Dr. Samuel Sanes, who has served as pathologist in many area hospitals and laboratories, has held important offices in local, state, and national professional societies of which he has been a member, who has been cited. for enumerable community activities, what would prove more fitting? To the sophomore medical class he related his experiences that "one never gets from textbooks or, for that matter, lectures." From the critical examination to the diagnosis, he reiterated the need for a blending of the scientific along with the personal, the human in the physician/ patient relationship. Dr. Sanes was born in Rochester and received most of his medical training in Buffalo, from the medical degree cum laude in 1930 from this University through the internship and pathology residency at the Buffalo General Hospital. A course in pathology technic at Mt. Sinai Hospital preceded his appointment to the UB staff as associate in pathology in 1936, a promotion two years later to assistant professor, to associate professor in 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �1940, and to full professor in 1963. In between he headed the department of legal medicine for a dozen years (1954-66) and was acting head of pathology for a year in 1960. Along with his hospital staff appointments to the Buffalo General, Children's, Buffalo Emergency, E.J. Meyer Memorial, and Niagara Falls Memorial Hospitals, there were appointments as pathologist to the Erie County Laboratory and from 1946 to 1961 to the Erie County Medical Examiners Office as well as consultantships from 1946 on at the DeGraff Memorial, Millard Fillmore, Dunkirk's Brooks Memorial, Meyer, and the VA Hospitals in Batavia and Buffalo. The advisor to Student American Medical Association UB chapter (1962) has been active in medical school administration, serving on its executive, curriculum, hospital liaison, admissions and postgraduate education committees. The Medentian, medical-dental yearbook, was dedicated to Dr. Sanes in 1963. He was awarded a plaque by the 1967 graduating class, and in 1963 the first Dean's Award for contributions to teaching. The list of memberships in which he has held office or in which he has been a member only are too numerous to cite. But among the presidencies that the 65-year old pathologist has held are the New York State Association of Public Health Laboratories (1954), the New York State Society of Pathologists (1958-60), Medico-Legal Forum of Erie County (1948-56), WNY Society of Pathologists (1965), Medical Union (1954), New York State Section, National Jewish Welfare Board, Jewish Center of Buffalo, Past Presidents Assn. of Erie County Medical Society (1964), Erie County Unit of American Cancer Society (1948-50, again in 1960-62 and of which he was a founder) as well as its New York State Division (1966-67). They awarded top TV honors to "Progress Against Cancer", a program coordinated and written by Dr. Sanes in 1968. He also earned the ACS national division award for outstanding service in 1969. His concern for the art of medicine led to his duties as coordinator of over 52 programs in UB's Modern Medicine TV series (1953-57), as moderator of the Medical Round Table Series (the 50's to 1970), as organizer of a cancer detection center at the Meyer Hospital as well as a central cytologic laboratory in Buffalo. To his accolades he has added the 1953 Buffalo Evening News Citizen of the Year Award, the 1963 Chairmanship of the Council of Social Agencies' Better Health Week. The national award for the best TV program in anesthesiology by the American Society of Anesthesiologists was awarded to ''Anesthesia for Major Surgery", coordinated and written by Dr. Sanes in 1970. His activity in the New York Medical Society has encompassed service on its House of Delegates, Cancer Control and joint committee with the NYS Bar Association. He has also chaired its sections on pathology and legal medicine. His last lecture ended in the manner in which his 40 years of teaching had begun . There was a tribute to medical students who "kept me young in spirit and up-to-date in knowledge and outlook.' '0 FALL, 1971 37 �Mr. Tutuska, Mr. Wettlaufer, President K etter, Mr. Dunn Plaque Unveiled at 125th Anniversary A HISTORICAL PLAQUE was unveiled at the site where the first Medical School building was erected in 1849. The marker is hanging on the wall of the Catholic Union Store on the southwest corner of the intersection of Main and Virginia Streets. The ceremony was one of the highlights of the 125th anniversary celebration on Founders Day, May 11. Mr. Walter S. Dunn, Jr., director, Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society, presided at the ceremony. There were brief remarks by Mr. Crawford Wettlaufer, president, Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society; University President Robert L. Ketter; and Mr. B. John Tutuska, Erie County Executive. Following the ceremony Dean LeRoy A. Pesch hosted a luncheon at the Buffalo Club for participants, faculty and civic leaders. Mr. Wettlaufer said, · "On behalf of the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society I am pleased to participate in this morning's ceremony. This historic marker commemorates the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Medical department of the University of Buffalo. The University, which we now know as the State University of New York at Buffalo, has made immeasurable contributions to the life of this community. It is also happy timing on the part of its founders that the University's 125th anniversary takes place during the 150th anniversary year of Erie County. The ties between the Historical Society and the University are strong. We have common beginnings-in that period of cultural awakening that arrived for the citizens of Buffalo in the late 19th century. Millard Fillmore, one of the founders and first Chancellor of the University in 1846, was one of the founders and first President of the Historical Society in 1862. He believed that both of our institutions should be 'eminently useful' to the community. Over the years we have worked together on many projects and for many groups within the community. We look forward to continuing this cooperation.'' 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �.. President Ketter said, "In 1849, at the dedication of the building which this plaque commemorates, Millard Fillmore, first Chancellor of the University, recalled that the charter had called for the creation of divisions of law, theology, and liberal arts, as well as medicine. He could point to the $15,000 structure which stood here-a 'very fine' building according to a local newspaper-and he was able to refer to the 'noble and persevering effort' of the medical faculty. But where was the faculty 'for the department of law?' he asked . Where were the professors of divinity? Where were the academic branches? All else is vacant, he said. The success of the moment did not satisfy him; he continued to dream. 'Today, that dream shared by Fillmore and the community has evolved into a creation greater than the expectations of even the most far-sighted of those persons who gathered here one hundred and twenty-two years ago. Now we are building a new $650 million 'second campus'; and many of the disciplines which are a part of the University were unknown in Fillmore's time. But I believe we must realize-just as Fillmore realized-that an enterprise as great as this University is the continuing dream of many persons. The present is a dream from the past, the future a dream from the present. 'No man ever accomplished much that did not aim at a great deal,' said Fillmore. 'Decision and activity work wonders. They rule the world, while hesitation and doubt deter from every noble enterprise.' ''Therefore, we must dare to dream greatly in the tradition of those persons who could see a University beyond this single structure. We must dedicate ourselves to acting upon those dreams. And we must never be satisfied .'' Mr. Tutuska said, "I am pleased to participate in the formal unveiling of this historical marker-commemorating the 125th Anniversary of the Founding of the Medical Department-of the State University of New York-at Buffalo. As County Executive-and as one who has long admired its excellent quality of education provided in all fields of learning-and in the medical profession particularly-! am especially gratified this morning because this significant event coincides with Erie County's sesquicentennial observance-giving the county and the medical schoola mutual birthday. Observance of anniversaries by institutions -corporations-and communities are important happenings. These traditional customs are invaluable because they afford us an opportunity to look back on our accomplishments-and appraise what the future may have in store for us. Judging from what the medical department at the University of Buffalo has done for the community-and the medical profession-in the past 125 years-there is every indication that it will continue-and undoubtedly-even enhance its enviable position as one of the greatest teaching facilities in the nation-as it goes on to additional anniversaries in the future . I congratulate the faculty-and staff at the medical school-and like the rest of the community-! look forward to seeing it play an increasingly-and important role in Erie County's continued growth-and in educating our future doctors and physicians.'' 0 FALL, 1971 39 Dean Pesch , Mrs. K etter �A new h obby for Dr. ]ones and his grandson. Dr. 0. P. Jones Retires as Cha:irman of Anatomy A LEGENDARY FIGURE at the Medical School has retired as chairman of the department of anatomy. Dr. Oliver P. Jones, M'56, who has held this position for 28 years will remain as professor of anatomy and devote his time to research, historical duties for the International Society of Hematology, and prepare a booklength article on a medical student's experiences in 1848. The 55-year old alum, whowasborninWest Chester, Pennsylvania, received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Minnesota in 19,35 and remained there as instructor in anatomy for two years. He came to Buffalo in 1937 as assistant professor of anatomy, was promoted to full professor and head of the department in 1943 and also served as chairman of the admissions committee for 12 years. Three years later, in ].946, he was named assistant dean of the Medical School, a position he held for eight years. In 1954 he resigned the latter to return to school and work toward a medical degree, which he earned in 1956. An international authority in the field of hematology, Dr. Jones was appointed a Buswell Research Fellow in 1957. Among his numerous memberships are the National Society for Medical Research (director 1956-61), American Society of Hematology (Advisory Council 1952-67), International Society of Hematology (he has held numerous offices and served as historian since 1962), president of the Western New York Section, Society of Experi- THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �mental Biology and Medicine (1951-52), and corresponding member of Swiss, Italian, and European Societies of Hematology. A worldwide traveler, there remain few countries where he has not lectured or visited. A key Capen Hall planner, Dr. Jones at one time served on 13 University committees. He has authored over 88 publications, served on editorial boards of major journals, and as the 1964 recipient of the Dean's Award was cited for "outstanding service and distinguished accomplishments in medical teaching,'' and named honorary medical staff member of Sisters of Charity Hospital in 1964 ''in recognition of his service to medicine in our community.'' He has also served as visiting professor at Baylor University and the National University (Mexico), was named distinguished lecturer in 1964 of Tulane School of Medicine and an lionorary member of the honorary dental society Omicron Kappa Upsilon. In 1954 the medical/dental student yearbook Medentian was dedicated to Dr. Jones. "truly a distinctive individual who does not conform to any stereotype of an anatomy professor. An internationally known hematologist, his offhand midwestern humor counterpoints his direct and factual lecturing. Fairminded, perspicacious, and conscientious, Dr. Jones earned our respect and admiration. We shall always remember our vivid first encounter with him, as he personally summoned us to the admissions interview. Later, indelibly impressed in our memories were his revealing recitation sessions and his instructive but exhausting practical exams, sometimes leaving us chagrined at his perfecting our dissections. His individual conferences with us at the end of our anatomy course revealed his native warmth as man and teacher. It is with sincere affection and regard that we of the Medical Class of 1954 dedicate our yearbook to him.'' The executive committee of the Medical School, in 1954, passed a resolution honoring Dr. Jones which read: ''Resolved that the Executive Committee on behalf of the Faculty of the School of Medicine go on record as expressing its sincere appreciation to Dr. O.P. Jones for the outstanding work he has done as Chairman of the Admissions Committee for the past 12 years and as Assistant Dean up to the time that the School was established in Capen Hall. He has given extensively of his time, effort and personal devotion to the headship of this Committee. Under his leadership the Committee has established an enviable record for objectivity and fairness in dealing with the complicated questions inherent in its activity. As Assistant Dean he bore the major responsibility for planning and construction of Capen Hall. The Executive Committee hereby expresses its thanks and directs that this resolution be spread on the minutes and a copy be sent to Dr. Jones.

The honor conveys special recognition to faculty members who have established outstanding reputations in their chosen fields. �Dr. Carl Arbesman A 60th Birthday How does one honor a man who has founded and continues to direct one of the nation's outstanding allergy clinical-research training programs that is completely funded through Nlli grants? As a testament to Dr. Carl Arbesman's 34 years of professional integrity as a clinician, his contributions of over 270 publications to research, and his dedicated teaching of medical students and physicians, it was a 60th birthday party at the Montefiore Club by his colleagues, friends and students. A second volume covering his second quarter century of research publications was presented to him. Dr. Arbesman decided to devote his life to the study of allergy when, as a child he suffered from severe eczema and bronchial asthma. In 1935 he earned his medical degree from the University of Buffalo. Following an internship and residency at the Buffalo General and Children's Hospitals in Buffalo, there was a two-year stint as a research fellow in allergy at Johns Hopkins University. It was there that he did pioneering work on antigenicity of ragweed pollen and corresponding antibodies. This interest continues today along with studies on immunological aspects of disease and its therapy. Dr. Arbesman returned to Buffalo in 1939 to open a private practice but there remained his persistent need to devote a major portion of his time to research and to teaching. He and Dr. Erwin Neter became the first associates of the late Dr. Ernest Witebsky. And in his department Dr. Arbesman continued his research on immunology and allergy, receiving early recognition for his work on the antihistaminic drugs, ACTH and Cortisone. In collaboration with Drs. Witebsky, Noel Rose, and Robert Reisman there were long-term immunologic studies on serum sickness and subsequent studies of drug allergy, particularly penicillin and aspirin as well as investigations of stinging insects. His studies on reaginic antibodies, some in collaboration with IgE discoverors Drs. Kimishige and Teruka Ishizaka as well as his in depth studies on properties of the newly described IgE immunoglobulin places him among the allergy pioneers and heavy contributors to allergic disease studies. Over a 15-year period the clinical professor of medicine and microbiology has trained 34 physicians from 16 countries. Some are now professors or chairmen of academic departments while others are noted clinicians and researchers. As an outstanding clinician and teacher, Dr. Arbesman received invitations from academic institutions and hospitals throughout the world to participate in conferences and clinical consultations. Dr. Arbesman remained among the few to publicly preach that "medical research must have practical aspects, must serve the sick" while others carried on research for research's sake. His satisfactions are now well deserved. Added to his membership in numerous professional societies, editorial boards of several journals, consultantship for the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, there is the accolade of secretary general for a forthcoming international meeting of allergology in Tokyo. 42 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �How does one measure a man's professional contributions? By the number of lives that he has saved or the help to thousands of needy people or his eagerness to give more? For those gathered at the 60th anniversary birthday dinner, it was enough to offer "best wishes, happy returns, and continued success" to teacher, clinician and researcher Dr. Carl Arbesman.D A total of 49 alumni, faculty, wives and guests participated in two alumni receptions during the American College of Physicians and the American Medical Association meetings in March and June.

He is Dr. Felix Milgram, professor and chairman of the University's department of microbiology, who was presented a lithograph, the work of an Israeli artist. Friends and colleagues honored the imaginative and dedicated scientist whose over 250 publications represent invaluable contributions to the serology of syphilis, rheumatoid arthritis, transplantation, and autoimmunity. This distinguished scientist, who was born and educated in Poland (Wroclaw School of Medicine, 1946), joined the University faculty in 1958 as a research associate professor of bacteriology and immunology. Before coming to Buffalo, he taught at the University of Wroclaw from 1946 to 1954, was director in charge of the Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy, Polish Academy of Science and from 1954 to 1957 professor and head of the department of microbiology, Selesian School of Medicine, in Zabrze, Poland. In 1957 he conducted research at the Pasteur Institute in Paris and the following year in Caracas, Venezuela. Dr. Milgram has served in editorial capacities on several important immunology journals. They are International Archives of Allergy and Applied Immunology, Vox Sanguinis, Transfusion, and Cellular Immunology. This dedicated teacher also holds memberships in local, regional, national and international professional organizations. Devoted to teaching, Dr. Milgram, over the past quarter century has taught medical, dental and health related professionals in Poland and Buffalo. There remains hardly a country in the world where he has not been invited to lecture and to stimulate research programs. Under his tutorship eight received masters and seven doctorate degrees. Over 20 postdoctoral fellows from this country, Argentina, Austria, Canada, England, France, Germany, Japan, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Turkey and Venezuela have come to Buffalo to study under Dr. Milgram. While four Fellows are now chairmen of academic departments, others staff academic, clinical, and service laboratories. Ji:is earliest research on serology of rheumatoid arthritis has influenced today's direction in this area. Dr. Milgram has demonstrated that the rheumatoid factor is an anti-antibody since its formation is stimulated by the individual's own antibodies. A collaborative effort between a research group under Dr. Milgram and a clinical group from the Medical College of Virginia has resulted in the understanding of the process of hyperacute rejection of a renal graft that may take anywhere from a matter of minutes to several hours. Study of the recipient's serum, to see that it does not contain antibodies against the tissue of a renal donor, will determine whether the graft will be hyperacutely rejected. Dr . Milgram was one of the first to develop such a diagnostic service for the Buffalo community. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �In another study with the Wistar Institute, hybrids that are part mouse / part human were produced by fusion of mouse fibroblast with human leukocytes. Here, Dr. Milgram's group is close to identifying the chromosome that carries genetic information for the production of human transplantation antigen. Dr. Milgram? "A humanitarian first, a dedicated teacher, outstanding researcher and one who is sensitive to the needs of all that he serves," says his oldest friend and colleague, Dr . Konrad Wicher.O First Emest Witebsky Memorial Lectureship There was ''standing room only'' on the third day of the conference on immunological concepts of hypersensitivity on man. For those who crowded into the rather inadequate Statler Hilton conference room, it was their way of paying respect to one of the world's great immunologists and to listen to the second Ernest Witebsky Memorial Lectureship by a professor of medicine at the Rockefeller University. Dr. Henry G. Kunkel is president elect of the Association of American Immunologists, a member of the Harvey Society and the National Academy of Sciences, on the editorial board of seven major journals, and whose scientific contributions to liver disease have been enormous. In his address on myeloma proteins and immune deficiency disease, Dr. Kunkel, professor of medicine at The Rockefeller University Hospital, said he was "fortunate enough to know, in his later years , Dr. Witebsky . . . certainly one of the great immunologists'' . He predicted that the seventies will be the decade of exploring the cellular basis of immunology, the lymphocytes. He pointed to the elucidation of the structure of the immunoglobulin, specifically its N-terminal portion where the variability of one antibody to another is expressed, as one of its most interesting recent developments . How can two or more genes come together and interact in order to produce one polypeptide chain? Most investigators, he said, feel that this occurs at the DNA level. He also pointed to methods to determine immune deficiency ' syndromes where gene deletions are found in homozygous or heterozygous forms .D FALL, 1971 Dr. Th omas Tom asi chats with Dr. Kunk el in whose laboratory h e train ed som e years ago. �Ophthalmology, A Hobby for Dr. W. Yerby Jones Dr. ]on es One of the best ophthalmology departments in the nation will continue to be the goal of a 70-year-old Buffalo ophthalmologist, Dr. W. Yerby Jones. Although he is stepping down as acting head of the department he has as much enthusiasm for the future of ophthalmology as he had when he received his medical degree from UB in 1924. "My profession is my hobby," Dr. Jones said. "Although ophthalmology is not as lucrative and glamourous as other specialties, with the proper facilities and sound long range planning we will be able to attract the nation's top ophthalmologists to Buffalo to teach and do research. The current trend is toward eye institutes, which Buffalo could support easily." Dr. Jones has been on the faculty since 1946, teaching one course to junior medical students. During the last 25 years about 85 per cent of the ophthalmologists in the Buffalo area have been trained by Dr. Jones at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. His staff has grown from one man to six residents, plus a technician, a nurse, a secretary and one orthoptist. Many of his former students return to Buffalo every spring for "eye teaching day." In 1950 this first meeting attracted six people. Last May, 120 people including 60 ophthalmologists from around the nation attended. Dr. Jones was the third black graduate of the Medical School in 1924. Today he estimates that there are 70 black physicians, dentists and pharmacists in the Buffalo area. Dr. Jones is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology. Among his local, state and national society memberships is that of legislative representative, section of ophthalmology, Erie County Medical Society. He is also a member of the medical advisory board for the Association of the Blind for New York State. Prior to joining the University faculty in 1946 as instructor in ophthalmology, he was in private practice. He was also affiliated with the Meyer Hospital and the Buffalo Eye and Ear Hospital as pathologist/ ophthalmologist. He has also served as an Attending Physician at the Gowanda State Hospital. The well-loved ophthalmologist was promoted to associate in ophthalmology in 1951 and six years later became associate clinical professor. In 1961 he became a clinical professor of surgery (ophthalmology). Appointment to head the division of ophthalmology (surgery) at the University followed in 1968. The Urban League Award recipient in 1949, Dr. Jones was cited for occupational and professional achievement as the only black physician on the University faculty and one of 14 to be admitted to membership in the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Jones is the author of several articles relating to his specialty. The dedicated, conscientious teacher-physician will continue his private practice that he has had since 1924. And as an Attending at Meyer Hospital, Dr. Jones will continue to concentrate his efforts toward the medical specialty that has been his life work and hobby.D THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Capraro Honored Seven members of the 1971 Medical School graduating class paid a special tribute to Dr. Vincent J.

Pesch Dean Pesch A total of 21 American students who have been studying medicine abroad will be admitted as "transfer students " to the junior class in September at the School of Medicine. This will be a trial program for students who were unable to get into an American Medical School as freshmen. All plan to practice medicine in the United States. The transfer students must have completed the equivalent of our first two years in an American Medical School and passed Part I of the National Medical Board examination. These students are transferring to Buffalo for clinical training that is so important to their careers. The fact that they were willing to start their medical education abroad proves their strong motivation towards a medical career. Hopefully in June of 1972 we will have 121 in our graduating class. This is a small step, but we will be able to see the results in a few months, ra:ther than years. Several weeks ago the Dean announced that the freshman class this fall would be increased from 104 to 125. Approximately 16 other American Medical Schools are accepting 130 American junior transfer students from foreign universities. Most of the schools are accepting from two to five students. The University of Texas Medical School and the New York Medical College are each accepting 15. Most of the transfer students are from medical schools in Mexico, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany and Spain.

Not only is it 25 percent larger than in previous years, but one quarter (31) of its 125 members are either minority, deprived, or underprivileged students. "Our intensive recruiting efforts have really paid off," Dr. James C. Dunn, who heads a subcommittee on minority admissions, said. "The spiraling number of applications received from this minority group is the result of a three-year effort by our members to locate and encourage qualified minority students to apply for admission to our medical school." So intense have these efforts been, that during one recruiting visit that lasted three weeks, Dr. Dunn personally covered 17 predominantly negro colleges and universities in the south. Who are these 31 students? There are 18 black Americans, two Africans, six. Puerto Ricans, and one each are European/ Negro, Chinese American, Chinese, Polish, and White American. "We did not lower our admissions standards," Dr. Dunn continued. "All 31 have completed the necessary academic requirements and have passed the qualifying exams." This class of 125 is a heterogeneous one, that represents professional, blue and white collar, labor and agricultural backgrounds. Graduates from 67 schools, the majority have had some exposure to the health care field either as a technician, orderly, etc. over a summer or during the school year. But this class also has the largest female contingent (17) in the history of the Medical School and a set of identical male twins (the first since the Anthone brothers- Sidney and Roland- graduated in 1950). Several are Army veterans, a handful hold master's degrees, and two have PhD degrees, one in microbiology and the other in zoology. These graduates, from .as near as SUNYAB and as far away as the University of Puerto Rico, also cut across the academic board. While science majors still account for the greatest number, there are liberal arts, psychology, mathematics and engineering graduates, as well as political science majors. But New York State continues to account for the largest share of the class, at 87 students. These 87 are followed by 18 from Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island,. Virginia, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, one from the British West Indies, and two from Africa.D 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �THE UNITED STATES is suffering from a severe doctor shortage that promises to grow worse. At present, certain specialists are especially scarce- internists, general practitioners (less than 2 per cent of today's graduates enter general practice), radiologists, pathologists, anesthesiologists, pediatricians, and psychiatrists. And certain parts of the country lack adequate medical coverage more than other regions. But even assuming that the number of doctors graduated from medical schools increases at the same rate as the projected increase in our population, the fact is that the number of doctors available to treat us will be even smaller unless the present trend among physicians reverses itself- the trend away from active practice. Of the 315,000 physicians in the United States today, only 60 per cent are in active practice, whereas in 1950, 72 per cent were. The numbers of medical graduates who enter research, teaching, industrial, administrative, and institutional careers continue to increase. At the same time, there are twice as many applicants to medical schools each year as can be accepted. Of those who do enter medical school, about 10 per cent do not finish, and many positions for interns and residents in hospitals go unfilled. Obviously some way must be found to increase the output of our medical schools, and to raise the productivity of the doctors themselves. In the past, both the medical colleges and the American Medical Association have resisted plans to increase either of these- presumably because the building of new medical schools may require some federal subsidy. But recently the AMA has got over much of its old bugaboo about government money and has agreed to push for expansion of medical schools. Helping the practicing physician to be able to take care of more people, then, is the other very real goal that must be achieved to meet even the minimum demands of our people for medical care. Group practice in the form of neighborhood health centers offers one of the best solutions. The advantages of prepaid, salaried group practice both to the patient and to the doctor should attract increasing numbers of young physicians. For the patient, it can mean quality, comprehensive, and continual care at lowered cost. For the doctor, it offers economic security, increased efficiency, and convenience -plus the satisfaction of greater productivity. Yet the numbers entering group practice (as contrasted with single specialty partnership) have decreased or remained stationary despite repeated attempts to foster such developments. Only a very small number of private practicing physicians participate in group practice of any kind (roughly 28,000), and even fewer physicians in private practice are full-time members of comprehensive grouppractice clinics. For obvious economic reasons, the figure will remain low so long as physician shortages exist. In addition to increasing the output of medical schools and enhancing the productivity of physicians through group practice, the administration of American medicine must be revised. I believe the key lies in the development of neighborhood health centers for all social and economic classes, whether these centers be lo- FALL, 1970 A Shortage of Doctors by John H. Knowles, M.D. Dr. Knowles is general director of the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He was the center of a controversy recently when the American Medical Association successfully opposed his nomination to the top medical job in the government. Reprinted from THIS WEEK Magazine October 5, 1969 3 �Dr. Knowles cated in urban ghettoes or suburban sprawls. Stressing ambulatory care, prevention of disease, and health education, the centers would combine the merits of group practice with those of accessibility and reduction in the use of high-cost hospital facilities. Such health centers can also pioneer in the development of physician assistants and in the better use of all health professionals. These crucial innovations will be slow as long as organized physicians fear the possibility of economic sanctions and also the loss of their jealously guarded freedom from any restraints. Whether it will be possible for the AMA to insist on free enterprise in the face of severe shortages and rising prices remains a serious question. Although a free enterprise system is one of the bases of the American way of life, many economists question whether free market forces can balance supply and demand in the health field . The consumer has no way of judging quality and almost no direct influence on the supply of physicians. Although conventionally the consumer has little direct influence in the free market, his influence in other areas can be exerted through political channels and can result in state and federal legislation. Physicians, singly or collectively, plead for free enterprise (and small medical school classes). They control supply, the effectiveness of "demand," and the standards used to determine and meet medical "need." The public's only recourse at the moment is governmental intervention. If the situation remains unchanged, people in the future may even resort to the type of violent intervention seen in the school system of New York City- a medical Brownsville. When medicine is fully recognized as a social instrument and not just a technical one, the demand for improved services could become staggering and potentially destructive. Those 30 million impoverished and indigent Americans who lack basic health services and can barely satisfy their minimal needs will demand change. The most important problems besetting the American physician in a time of turbulent demand and change are how best to utilize his hard-won knowledge for the benefit of the most people and at the least cost. If the profession fails to heed the public cry for personal care of high quality which is comprehensive, continuous, easily accessible, and at reasonable cost- then surely more of the profession's precious freedom will be surrendered to central government as the people turn to political forces to satisfy their needs through legislation. But must this be the solution? In our haste to satisfy the appetite of a service-oriented society, we must not forget that the physician and his needs must be considered and met at the same time and in equal measure. The medical profession must work to change medicine through revision of premedical and medical curricula, and it must work more assiduously in the public interest to improve quality, contain cost, prevent disease, and provide services which are accessible and comprehensive. Priorities must be reset and resources 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �reallocated so that existing knowledge is used first and foremost for the care of the sick and the prevention of disease. This is the highest calling of the medical school graduate- not such stunts as heart transplants, the medical equivalent of the moon shot. Comprehensive health insurance is not a luxury, but a right. Yet, many Americans are deprived of this right by the high cost of all such current programs. Physicians themselves must band together and work to keep the cost of medical care from endlessly rising to provide truly comprehensive services. If doctors take the initiative, they will be able to institute programs that will also take their own best interests into account. The traditional AMA platform of negative vigilance must change to become more responsible to the obvious problems of cost, quality, and equality of health services for all Americans. I believe that pluralism is the essence of democracy- and that truth is plural and contingent, not singular and absolute. A delicate balance between public and private interests exists in this country today, and as the pendulum swings back and forth from liberalism to conservatism, just solutions lie somewhere in the moderate, practical middle. Both physician and patient interests must be served. Constructive change on the part of the profession would maintain its freedom- and restore the balance which has leaned toward the central government in recent times -largely because the medical profession has been slow to respond. Unless this inertia is overcome, public demand will necessitate government intervention. The balance of power in the United States has in many areas already swung wildly to central government.D A husband and wife team is making a significant contribution to medical education. Both are on the Medical School facultyDr. Imre V. Magoss is an associate professor of urology, and his wife, Dr. Margita, is a clinical assistant professor of neuroanatomy. Both are natives of Hungary and came to the United States 19 years ago. Before coming to Buffalo the Magosses lived in Cleveland where Dr. Imre took a residency in surgery. Dr. Margita organized an employees health clinic at the hospital where she was on the staff. In Buffalo she has had a fellowship in neurology from the National Institute of Health, a research fellowship in neurophysiology at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, a year in clinical electroencephalography at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. Then came an affiliation with the neurology division of the Millard Fillmore Hospital. The Magosses have two children, Cathy, 14, and Adam, 10. In spite of a busy schedule the family does many things togethergolf, tennis, and hiking. And on long weekends or vacations they take off to explore Fort Niagara, Chestnut Ridge Park, or Williamsburg, Cape Cod or the Adirondacks.D FALL, 1970 5 Husband, Wife Medical Team �Health Care by Stanley W. Olson, M.D. What do you see as the most crucial and immediate health problem facing us today? Dr. Stanley W. Olson was director, Regional Medical Programs Service, Health Services and Mental Health Administration, United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, 1968-70. Dr. Olson was graduated magna cum laude in 1938 from the University of Illinois College of Medicine. He interned at the Cook County Hospital and took his residency at the Municipal Contagious Disease Hospital. Chicago. He was a Fellow in Medicine [1940-43) at the Mayo Foundation and had a special Mayo Foundation Fellowship in 1946-47. Dr. Olson was professor of medicine and dean at the University of Illinois College of Medicine [1950-52), and held the same positions at Baylor University College of Medicine from 1953 to 1966. On April 25 Dr. Olson addressed the meeting of the Regional Advisory Group of Western New York, Regional Medical Program in Buffalo. His remarks are based on questions submitted to Dr. Olson from Western New York. Dr. Olson is the new President of the Southwest Foundation for Research and Education in San Antonio, Texas.D On April 27, 1970, I shall be giving a paper at the First International Congress on Group Medicine in Winnipeg, Canada. In that paper I have listed the elements I believe are required for the establishment of an effective voluntary health care system which can rectify many of the deficiencies of our existing arrangement. They include the following: -Health insurance coverage of adequate scope for every person based on a combined system of public and private contributions. -Determination of costs of health care, in advance of performance, based on negotiated rates. -Availability of capital to support facilities and operating costs for institutions that will serve persons without adequate health care service at present, such capital to be repaid through income generated from services rendered. -Regulation of health care institutions to insure that services are equitably distributed. Areawide and statewide planning will be essential to the performance of this function. Providers will require assistance, of the kind Regional Medical Programs can offer, in introducing improved diagnostic and treatment methods and in training health personnel to use these new methods. -Sustained support of health manpower training institutions to produce the extra health personnel required to man new facilities. -Finally, research and development in health services for the proper understanding of the value of the services rendered. Understandably, there is reluctance to proceed with new forms of health insurance that will throw an added burden on an already overstrained Federal budget. Nevertheless, it seems unlikely that real progress can be made in establishing an efficient and competitive health care system unless we move on a broad front to implement all of the items mentioned above, since they are all inter-related. The kingpin in the assemblage is, I believe, the rationalization of health insurance. Given the stability of financing that such a step would provide, the financing agen cies could demand and get a determination of costs before the services were performed. Further, health providers could introduce and benefit from economies of operation. The need for planning and regulation would become readily apparent, and communities would move to establish appropriate methods to accomplish that function. 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Recently Dr. Breslow, President of the American Public Health Association, was reported as being shocked at the several incidents he saw throughout the country of "health brutality." Do you feel that severe malpractice or Jack of medical care for certain populations in the United States exists? If so, what can be done to correct it immediately? Dr. Breslow and Dr. Paul Cornelly who accompanied him on that trip are both careful observers. I am sure they saw individuals requiring health care who were unable to obtain it. The term which Dr. Breslow and Dr. Cornelly have used, "health brutality," seems to connote a brutal attitude on the part of individuals who should be rendering sympathetic and effective health care. I doubt that it was their intention to impute such an attitude toward individuals but rather to a system of care which permits "brutal" neglect. The evidence is clear that many persons in the lowest income groups have inadequate care. The tax supported institutions which in the past have been given the responsibility for providing their care have simply not had the funds to develop the services needed. This comes about in large part because the cities have been strapped financially. The question then arises, where should the blame for the deficiencies be placed? It is my opinion that the responsibility is one which we all bear because we have not been able to devise a system which will train the personnel, provide the facilities, finance the care and organize it in sur.h a way that everyone has an equal opportunity to obtain the care he needs. I doubt there is anything that car. be done to correct the problem immediately. That it needs correction is clear. This is the work to which we must address ourselves in the decade of the 1970's. What do you see as the role of the medical schools throughout the country in improving the quality of medico] care? Are more physicians really the answer? There is no doubt that we do, indeed, need to expand the enrollment of our medical schools. Responsible trustees, administrators, and faculties throughout the country are endeavoring to do just that. The accompanying fiscal problems are severe and are imposing enormous stresses on every medical school. But beyond the mere increase in the output of physicians, we certainly require a re-structuring of the medical curriculum which will place significant emphasis on the ambulatory care of patients. We must define the role of the physician as the leader of a health team which includes nurses, aides, physician assistants, technologists, and others. To serve effectively in this capacity, the physician must understand the socio-economic aspects of medical care and know how to deal with the problems of organizing medical services efficiently. He must increase his own efficiency and output and to do so he will rely heavily on the other members of the health team. FALL, 1970 7 Dr. Olson �cians already trained should learn how to work more effectively with allied health personnel? Yes, I agree that Regional Medical Programs should give practicing physicians every opportunity to work more closely with the members of the health team. One of the interesting experiments in this area is now being conducted in the State of Washington under the auspices of the National Center for Health Services Research and Development. In this program, known as MEDEX, a group of medical corpsmen, previously trained in the Armed Forces, are expanding their basic science knowledge and working with several physicians engaged in the general practice of medicine. Each of these practicing physicians has agreed to take on one of these men as his assistant when he has completed the training program. The opportunity to work in several doctors' offices gives the corpsman not only a better understanding of the work he is to do, but of the personal approaches to medical care of the several physicians with whom he has worked. Clearly if patients are to be served well, there must be a good team spirit and, whether the team is a close knit one such as formed by the general practitioner and his physician assistant, or a larger team operating within a clinic or a hospital, the patients will be well served only if there exists understanding and agreement on the part of the members of the health team as to the function each shall serve. The specific manner in which Regional Medical Programs can facilitate this type of cooperation will have to be worked out by the individual regions. In your view what has been the most and the least beneficial effects of the American Medical Association's policy on the delivery of health care today? I am not qualified to give a comprehensive answer to a question as broad as this, but having been a member of the American Medical Association for more than 25 years, I shall give a general answer. There is no doubt that the quality of medical education in the United States today is due in no small measure to the vigorous efforts made by the AMA early in this century to eliminate sub standard medical schools, to develop internship training programs, and later residency training programs, and finally, to promote the development of postgraduate medical education for practicing physicians. Licensure is often regarded as an attempt on the part of the medical profession to restrict practice but in reality it has been an essential element in raising the standards of those who practice medicine. The AMA sponsored pure food and drug legislation, was in the forefront of the legislative fight to eliminate child la- 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �bor and to regulate the hours that women may work. Through its extensive scientific publications and its scientific meetings, it has promoted the diffusion of medical knowledge widely and has contributed substantially to improving the capability of practicing physicians. Much of the criticism leveled at the AMA concerns its position with respect to the socio-economic aspects of medical care. In this respect I am not sure the AMA is grossly different from medical associations in other countries such as Canada , Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, etc. It is true that the Association was slow to support hospital insurance, group practice, health insurance for the elderly, and prepayment group insurance. The fact is that the AMA does support all of these items at the present time. One rna:/ question whether socio-economic reforms such as these are primarily the responsibility of the medical profession or whether society generally should promote these developments, with the medical profession making sure that the professional and technical aspects of the legislative and fiscal proposals have been thoroughly considered. What effects do you think the initiation and development of a national health insurance program will have on Regional Medical Programs specifically, and the delivery of medical care in particular in the United States? I take the view that the growth of medical knowledge and technology is so rapid that organized methods must be developed to ensure that health professionals who are engaged in the care of patients shall have ready access to the new knowledge, and assistance in acquiring the skills necessary to implement widely the new knowledge and technology. This is the role that I see Regional Medical Programs playing. No matter what schemes may be adopted for organizing or paying for that care, it will be necessary constantly to improve the knowledge and skills of the health professionals rendering the care. What are the chances of Regional Medical Programs being decategorized? If this happens, what do you see as a re-ordered set of priorities and what do you see as a reasonable way to go about expanding our disease interest without an epic attempt to solve all health problems at once? Several legislative proposals hav{ng to do with the extension of Regional Medical Programs are before the Congress at the present time. Senator Yarborough's Committee has held hearings on the legislation introduced by Senator Yarborough himself. That bill would provide for the addition of kidney disease as a categorical interest of Regional Medical Programs and it would substitute the broader term "and other major diseases" for the present modifier FALL, 1970 9 �"and related diseases." The Administration has introduced thP. Health Services Improvement Act of 1970. That legislative proposal eliminates the use of the term "heart disease, cancer, stroke and related diseases" and substitutes the terminology "impairments and conditions of mankind." The legislative language provides for expansion of the categories depending upon regulations which the Secretary may propose. It gives to the individual regions the opportunity to add additional categories from among those which have been identified in the regulations. It is safe to say, therefore, that the scope of Regional Medical Programs will almost surely be broadened. I do not see this expansion of categories as a step which will require a drastic reordering of priorities since the basic structure of the program will continue. The Regional Advisory Group continues to exert a strong role in recommending the proposals to be implemented in establishing a Regional Medical Program. The chief difficulty, I believe, will lie in the area of financing. If we are to make an effective attack on areas other than heart disease, cancer, stroke, and related diseases, we shall require additional funds. As you all know, the country's financial situation is such that it will be difficult to make substantially larger sums of money available. If the program is decategorized, do you foresee much, RMP involvement in mental health? if any, One of the chief objectives of the Health Services Improvement Act of 1970 is to promote a closer coordination of Regional Medical Programs, Comprehensive Health Planning, and Health Services Research and Development. Secretary Finch has urged that, where possible, facilities for child health activities, mental health activities, and other ambulatory care be concentrated in single institutions in order to achieve the greatest level of efficiency. The community mental health centers will almost surely continue to operate under the aegis of the National Institute of Mental Health. But despite that circumstance, which I believe to be desirable, Regional Medical Programs can and should cooperate with all these activities in every feasible fashion . Do you see a trend of Regional Medical Programs forming separate corporations apart from medical schools? If so, do you think this trend is a good thing? How will it affect the future growth and development of Regional Medical Programs? Thirty-five of the existing 55 Regional Medical Programs have been sponsored by medical schools or universities. The legislation passed by the Congress did not intend that these programs should be dominated by the medical schools nor by medical societies nor by any component of the health care system. Instead, it was intended that all groups and organizations engaged in rendering 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �health care cooperate in order to form better arrangements than have existed in the past. It is the Regional Advisory Group which has been given substantial authority to determine the policies of the Regional Medical Program and to pass on the projects for which funds may be requested. If the sponsoring medical school, as grantee, understands this fundamental aspect of Regional Medical Programs, it can stimulate the growth and development of the Regional Advisory Group as an effective body to assume that responsibility and the school in turn can take on the administrative responsibilities that go with the handling of substantial sums of money and with the hiring of a substantial staff of individuals to work in the Regional Medical Program. The formation of a nonprofit organization has been undertaken by 15 of the regions. In such instances, the nonprofit organization becomes the grantee and it performs the administrative functions that in the majority of the regions are performed by a university. A new nonprofit organization has a good deal to learn about performing these administrative supervisory functions and often it does not do them well at the outset. Moreover, the fact that the organization is not associated with either a medical school or a medical society, does not relieve it of the responsibility for establishing a Regional Advisory Group. Every grantee must have a Regional Advisory Group. This device for separating the administrative functions and the policy functions of Regional Medical Programs is an essential component of successful Programs. What is your feeling about the alleged future merger of CHP and RMP? Assistant Secretary Egeberg, in his testimony before Senator Yarborough's Committee on the Health Services Improvement Act of 1970, made clear the position of the · Administration that the relationship between these two programs requires greater understanding and greater clarification than exists at present. The Administration recommends that additional funds be made available in order to provide for experimentation as a way of acquiring that added understanding. There is, to the best of my knowledge, no assumption on the part of the Administration that the two programs will be merged. Each of these programs deals with an area essential to the development of an efficient and effective health care system; each must take full cognizance of the area of responsibility of the other; each must work toward a common goal but it will be extremely difficult for either one to take over the function of the other. In Memphis and in Arizona the Regional Medical Program Advisory Group is identical with the Advisory Council for the corresponding Comprehensive Health Planning Agency. This certainly provides for a high level of coordination between the two programs, but I see no evidence that these Advisory Groups find it desirable to merge the function of the two programs for which they are equally responsible. FALL, 1970 11 �It is conceded generally that the improvement of primary medical care is our most urgent need and although it would appear clear that Regional Medical Programs cannot become involved in medical education, it could hopefully become involved in a larger contribution to the establishment of ambulatory facilities, expecially in medically deprived areas which would serve as a lure to attract primary care physicians to such areas. What are your views? I thoroughly agree that the improvement in primary care is one of the urgent needs of our health care system at the present time. We have seen some imaginative experiments undertaken by the Office of Economic Opportunity, and by the Community Health Services in sponsoring Comprehensive Health Centers. In each instance the actual operating institution is a local organization; in some cases a local health department, in others a medical school, and still others, a local medical society or a nonprofit organization. A number of Regional Medical Programs have provided planning assistance to organizations capable of establishing and operating ambulatory care facilities. I believe this kind of assistance by Regional Medical Programs is entirely appropriate and is very effective. The enabling legislation for Regional Medical Programs is quite specific, however, that the funds awarded are not intended to provide for health care services except as such services are incidental to the demonstration of improved methods for the care of patients. We are attempting in this country to overcome a health care dichotomy that has existed for a long time. That dichotomy consists of charity medical services for the indigent on the one hand and private health care services for those who can pay for their care on the other. Unless we can arrange for the newly established comprehensive health centers to evolve into health care programs that serve all socio-economic levels, we may be perpetuating charity medical service under Federal sponsorship. The development of ambulatory care services, particularly for low income groups, is a complex arrangement which includes sponsorship by qualified health care providers, an adequate financing mechanism, adequate facilities, and a coordinated arrangement with a larger health care system so that the physicians and other health personnel can be assured that patients with complex medical problems can obtain whatever level of care is required. There are many aspects of the development of such a complex arrangement in which Regional Medical Programs can render effective assistance. It clearly is not a task which Regional Medical Programs can undertake alone. Do you think the Nixon Administration has provided adequate funds for Regional Medical Programs and other health programs? The provision of funds for Regional Medical Programs and other health programs is, as you know, a joint responsibility; the Administration recommends and the Congress appropriates funds. The overall stricture on funds is such that every health program feels 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �that it has insufficient funds to meet inflationary costs and to respond to new challenges. Regional Medical Programs is no exception to this generalization. We have received, as you probably know, an additional $5 million over and above the $73.5 million which we had planned to spend in this fiscal year. The likelihood is that additional sums over and above the $79.5 million requested in new obligational authority will be made available out of those same carryover funds. These additional funds can, I think, be used very effectively. On the other hand, the problem facing every Regional Medical Program is how best to use the funds that it does have available. Unless the staff and the Regional Advisory Group know how to make the best use of limited funds, it is not likely that they will make good use of larger amounts of money. Let me say in conclusion that Regional Medical Programs have been given a unique charter under the legislation enacted by the 89th Congress. They have been given the opportunity to initiate a vital process by bringing representatives of the entire health care structure, and public representatives as well, to study and act on specific health care problems. The programs have functioned best where sound leadership and sound administration has focused attention on local problems. The Regional Advisory Group plays an essential role in identifying and selectively supporting those processes and those regional linkages that have the greatest potential for improving care. The test of the program is not whether one can structure a mechanism for spending money-any organization can do that. The real test is whether what you spend funds for is worth doing and whether care is being effectively improved as a result. The continuity of Regional Medical Programs depends on demonstrating that you can bring about improved care. If you can, you will have shown your ability to structure an essential part of a complex health care system. I wish you well in your efforts. You have made a strong start and I have confidence that you will extend your program and that you will make a major contribution to health care in Western New York. D A total of 18 alumni and their spouses participated in the special alumni reception during the AMA convention at the Palmer House in Chicago June 22. Mr. David M. Krajewski, Director of Medical Alumni Affairs, hosted the informal reception. In attendance were: Doctors Theodore L. Bash, M'51, Bark River, Michigan; Charles A. Bauda, M'42, Buffalo; Alexander J.

D FALL, 1970 13 Alumni Reception in Chicago �Dr. Lee The 1970 MEDENTIAN, student yearbook of the Schools of Dentistry and Medicine has been dedicated to Dr. James Collard, associate professor of clinical dentistry, and to Dr. Joseph C-Y Lee, associate professor of anatomy and associate research professor of surgery. Dr. Collard joined the Dental School faculty in 1959. He received his bachelor's degree from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1950, and his D.D.S. in 1958 from the University of Buffalo. He served in the United States Air Force from July 1943 to November 1946. Dr. Collard is married and the father of two children. Dr. Lee joined the University faculty in December of 1963. Before coming to Buffalo he was on the faculty of the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, where he received three degrees M.S., Ph.D. and M.D. in 1958, 1961 and 1962. From Lingnan University, Canton, China he received his bachelor of science de gree (1947} and his bachelor of medicine degree in 1952. Dr. Lee and his wife have one son. In dedicating the book to Drs. Collard and Lee, the Editors said: There are probably innumerable ways of writing a dedication, none of which would be adequate to describe the appreciation, admiration, and affection felt by the Medical Class of 1970 for Dr. Joseph Lee. Born in Malaya, he soon moved to South China where he grew up and went to school. He received his master's degree in neuropathology and M.D. in 1947, graduating first in his class; during that time, in order to earn money for school, he dissected over 100 cadavers for demonstration to the other students. In 1954 Dr. Lee fled the Communist mainland for Hong Kong, where he taught anatomy for three years, until moving to the University of Saskatchewan, where he taught anatomy and neuropathology. Moving once again, Dr. Lee came to Buffalo, where he is Professor of Anatomy and Neuropathology. Among his many accomplishments are a Textbook of Anatomy, in Chinese; a volume on cerebral edema; a chapter on the blood-brain barrier, to appear in a soon to be published text; Listing in Who's Who in Science; member of England's Royal Society of Medicine; membership in the American Association of Neuroanatomists and Neuropathologists; and membership in the Cajal Society. To our class, Dr. Lee, father of a teen-age son, Paul, and husband of Dr. Katherine So, pediatrician, has been the epitome of what a great teacher should be; after his own family, his students are his prime concern. In addition to this academic role, however, he is also a wonderful person, always stopping to chat and always remembering each of his students by his first name. Therefore, we, the Medical Class of 1970, hope that by this small gesture we can adequately express our Dr. Collord Medentian Dedicated to Drs. Collard and Lee 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �grateful appreciation to our teacher and colleague for his kindness and deep concern throughout our four years. Dr. Collard is a man who neither accepts nor rejects an idea because it is new. Rather, he weighs each idea separately according to its merits, not allowing prejudice to overcome good judgment, substituting the wisdom which comes from experience for rashness. The ability to do this has enabled him to act as a mediator between the faculty and students, commanding respect and admiration from both groups, while working behind the scenes to implement major changes in the teaching of dentistry. Because of his untiring work both in and out of clinic to promote excellence in dentistry, we, the Senior Class, dedicate our yearbook, Medentian 1970, to him.O Chancellor Samuel B. Gould has announced his intention to resign as Chief Executive Officer of State University, effective October 1, 1970. Chancellor Gould has headed three major campuses in the past 16 years, of which the last six have been at the State University of New York. Since 1964 he has helped forge a varied collection of teachers' colleges and specialized schools into one of the nation's leading university systems. Dr. Gould told the university's trustees that "when I accepted my post six years ago, it was with the pledge to seek a standard of education for the State University of New York which would place it within the foremost public institutions of higher learning in the country .... This goal is now in sight." At a press conference in Albany, Chancellor Gould explained that, following his retirement, he plans to find the opportunity to "think about, write about, and do something about some of the major educational problems that we face in America today." The Chancellor emphasizes that he is leaving at a time when he feels State University is in the strongest position it has ever been academically, in terms of relationships with the Legislature and with Governor Rockefeller, and also at a time when the University enjoys more national recognition and acceptance than at any point in its history. Under his direction, the total student body has grown from 150,000 to 286,000, and State University faculty from 9,887 to 14,907. Degrees awarded, library holdings, and academic programs have all more than doubled. 147,354 students have been awarded degrees during the Gould administration. The University's $4 billion plus construction program far exceeds any similar project elsewhere, resulting in new or virtually new campuses on which an estimated 350,000 students will be receiving their education by 1976.0 FALL, 1970 15 Chancellor Gould Resigns �Assistant Dean Named Dr. Thomas G. Cummiskey has been appointed assistant dean at the School of Medicine. His main responsibilities will be in the areas of student and academic affairs. The 39-year-old physician was born in Bradford, Pennsylvania and attended St. Bonaventure University and the College of the Holy Cross where he received a BS degree in biology in 1953. Dr. Cummiskey was awarded a medical degree in 1958 from the University of Buffalo and interned the succeeding year at the Buffalo General Hospital. A year of residency in surgery at the Cincinnati General Hospital was interrupted by a two-year stint (1960-62) with the United States Army Reserve Medical Corps in Shreveport, Louisiana. He remained in that city for a year of internal medicine at the Confederate Memorial Center before he returned to Buffalo in 1963 to complete his residency in internal medicine at the Buffalo General Hospital in 1965. Dr. Cummiskey held both university and hospital appointments at the Buffalo General Hospital (1965-66) and the Veteran's Hospital (1966-67) before he joined the American United Life Insurance Company in Indianapolis as assistant medical director. Two years later (1969) he was appointed to associate medical director. Dr. Cummiskey, who will also have teaching responsibilities in the department of medicine, replaces Dr. Robert H. Wilbee, M'59, who became acting associate director at the Meyer Hospital.D Neurosurgical Residents Four University neurosurgical training program residents are among the top 10 percent in the country. In a nationwide in training examination required for all neurosurgical residents who have completed their second year of training by the American Board of Neurological Surgeons, they scored above the ninetieth percentile. The three residents and one who has completed his residency are: Dr. Walter Grand, a second year resident and a graduate of Albert Einstein Medical School who has completed a residency in neurology at Case-Western Reserve University. Dr. Herbert L. Cares, a third year resident who has served as a medical officer aboard a nuclear submarine and earned his medical degree from University of Michigan. Dr. Stephen C. Padar, a fourth year resident, and medical graduate from Cornell who has served as medical officer in the 82nd Airborn Division. Dr. Luciano Modesti, completed his residency four years ago but is preparing for his Board exam. Dr. Cummiskey Additional honors earned by Dr. Cares include first prize for a paper on The Significance of the Optic Strut in the annual essay contest of the Western New York Chapter, American College of Surgeons as well as second prize in the Student American Medical Association's photomicrography contest. Program Chairman for the University neurosurgical training program that rotates between the Buffalo General, Children's and Meyer Hospitals is Dr. Louis Bakay, professor of surgery as well as neurosurgery head at these local hospitals.D 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �New Director for Buffalo General Dr. Theodore T. Jacobs will be the new director of the Buffalo General Hospital on January 1, 1971. The 1938 Medical School graduate has been associate director since 1962. Dr. Jacobs succeeds Rudolf G. Hils, director since 1962 and a member of the administrative staff for 33 years. Mr. Hils will retire December 31 . Dr. Jacobs joined the hospital staff as director of the out-patient department and coordinator of house staff education in 1959. He served his internship and residency at Buffalo General. Dr. Jacobs is an assistant clinical professor of surgery at the School of Medicine. He is also a director of the Western New York Hospital Association; a trustee of the Health Planning Council of Western New York; a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons; a member of the American Hospital Association and the American College of Hospital Administrators. During World War II, Dr. Jacobs was a major in the Army's 23rd General Hospital in the African and European Theaters. Under Mr. Hils' directorship the hospital launched its three-phase expansion and redevelopment program completing the $7.3 million Ellicott-High wing (phase I) in November 1969. In the next two phases the wing will rise from four to 16 stories. Construction of a $4.5 million community mental health center is now underway along with remodeling of new larger clinical laboratories.D The Regional Medical Program of Western New York received two grants totaling $1,796,623 recently according to Dr. John R. F. Ingall, program coordinator. The award was made by the Division of Regional Medical Programs Service, Health Services and Mental Health Administration, U.S. Department of Health, Education and Wefare. The largest grant of $1,428,915 will be used to continue the Telephone Lecture Network, a program of lectures to professional health personnel in hospitals in Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania; the coronary care training program for nurses and physicians; chronic respiratory disease program, which includes a training program for inhalation therapists, a post-graduate program in pulmonary diseases for physicians and nurses, use of the acute respiratory unit at the Millard Fillmore Hospital as a model for the educational program, and the addition of a screening program for respiratory diseases; a program of diagnostic procedures in immunofluorescence; a regional tumor registry, which will provide physicians with cumulative regional clinical and survival data on patients with neoplastic disease. The second grant of $367,708 provides support for: topical chemotherapy treatment for precancerous lesions and cancer of the skin; medical information dissemination service; devolopment of a respiratory model unit at the Millard Fillmore Hospital; and planning for continuing education programs. D FALL, 1970 17 Mr. Hils Dr. Jacobs Regional Medical Program Receives Two Grants �President Ketter Dr. Ketter Appointed President D R. ROBERT L. KETTER assumed the presidency of the University July 1. The 41-year-old civil engineer has been a member of the faculty the last 12 years. He is the former dean of the graduate school, and former vice president for facilities and planning and chairman of the department of civil engineering. The appointment was made by the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York. Dr. Ketter becomes the institution's 11th chief administrative officer and its third president since it merged with the State University of New York in 1962. The professor of engineering succeeds Martin Meyerson who becomes president of the University of Pennsylvania September 1. Dr. Peter F. Regan has been acting president since September 1969. The new president was born in Welch, West Virginia. He earned his bachelor of science in civil engineering from the University of Missouri in 1950, and his master's and Ph.D. degrees from Lehigh University in 1955. Dr . Ketter has authored over 40 technical articles and reports and has published a basic engineering textbook, Modern Methods of Engineering Computation. He is in the process of completing two other books. In 1968 he was the recipient of the Adams Memorial Award for excellence in teaching and research of the American Welding Society. From 1967 to 1969 as vice president for facilities planning Dr. Ketter was in charge of planning the new Amherst campus. He has been active in the University Faculty Senate, serving as its secretary from 1963 through 1967, and a member of several committees. He is past chairman or member of 16 national and international technical committees, and has represented the United States as an expert on Commission X of the International Institution of Welding. For several years, he was an accreditation examiner for the Engineers Council for Professional Development and as an educational consultant for the Council of Graduate Schools of America. He has also served as a consultant on higher education planning to several countries. He was recently elected chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Comprehensive Health Planning Council of Western New York and is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Western New York Nuclear Research Center. Dr. Ketter is hopeful that his engineering background will be an intellectual asset in dealing with the University's diverse problems. "It makes you listen to all sides of the question. I don't know of any engineering problem where you have all the answers." Council chairman William C. Baird commenting on the new president said: "Dr. Ketter is a vigorous, imaginative and hardworking young man who has been closely linked with our University during the past 12 years. As a scholar, administrator, faculty member and citizen of Western New York he has distinguished himself in a wide range of activities both on and off the campus. We can look forward to many years of positive direction and achievement for the University under his capable leadership." Dr. Regan said: "Dr. Ketter comes to the presidency with an unusual combination of assets. He is a distinguished scholar, a proven and experienced administrator and a man of the greatest integrity and dedication. This is a combination from which the 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �University can profit enormously. All the strengths work in his favor. All of us will work with him and for him." The new president pledged to help "create a feeling of community on the campus while we re-examine our various academic programs and try to eliminate some confusion as to what our priorities are." On weekends Dr. Ketter, his wife and four children try as often as possible to get away to their 140-acre farm in Allegany County. The oldest child, Katharyn, 19, has just completed her freshman year at Ohio Wesleyan University. She is spending the summer working at a camp for the retarded in Canada. Susannah, 17, and Mary, 14, are students at Bennett High School and Michael, 9, is at School 63. Dr. Ketter is an accomplished pianist. He has performed twice in Carnegie Hall as a member of the Bach Choir of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and served as the Choir's President. D A 1967 graduate has been active in setting up the first methadone treatment unit for heroin addicts at Sisters Hospital. He is Dr. Ronald M. Levy, who is expected to serve as director of the unit. He formerly served as assistant medical director of the Man Alive Program, a rehabilitation center for narcotics addicts in Baltimore. Funds for the program will be provided by the State Narcotics Addiction Control Commission through the Erie County Mental Health Department. This is the first of a possible four methadone treatment units. Mental Health Commissioner James J. Warde estimated that the average cost per year for treating an addict with methadone will be $700 when all four units are operating. The Sisters Hospital unit is prepared to serve a maximum of 250 patients. When its capacity is reached a second unit will be opened in another location, then a third and a fourth , if necessary. Heroin addicts, their families or friends who call the drug hot line of the Suicide Prevention and Crisis Center, will be referred to the Sisters Hospital unit for methadone treatment. Heroin addicts may also go to the hospital on their own or be referred by a physician, a social agency, a clergyman, or friends .D FALL , 1970 19 Methadone Unit �Senior Class Day The 94 graduates, garbed in traditional mortarboard and black robe, solemnly filed past the assemblage in the main auditorium of Kleinhans Music Hall. The honor guard located their places on the stage. And the 124th Class Day Exercises of the School of Medicine, founded in 1846, began. "Not only do we honor the graduates," said Dean LeRoy A. Pesch, "but you, who have supported and brought them to this point." Class president Donald P. Copley- who has held this office all four years- reminded his classmates that "responsibility is your role in life at every turn" and that concern of doctor for patient "is the highest of human relationships." But he also said that each graduate will have to make his own decision regarding the degree of his involvement with the community and its general problems. "Social change," he pointed out, "implies political action and the question arises to what degree can or should a physician direct his energies into politics?" In his response to the dedication of the MEDENTIAN (the medical/dental yearbook), Dr. Joseph C-Y Lee said that it has "made me feel that I am no longer a guest professor at this university or an alien in this country." The professor of anatomy and research associate professor of surgery, expressed the hope that the dedication was a symbol of appreciation "to all of your teachers from the kindergarten to the medical school for they deserve no less honor than I." He told the class of 1970 that in China, on the eve of either a wedding or a graduation, advice is offered. "Unfortunately I do not have any untold advice for you as you are too intelligent and well-informed to require any confidential instructions. Nevertheless no matter how many academic degrees we have received, we are still hu.man and forgetfulness is human nature. We tend to forget not only gross anatomy but also some common things." He explained that just as married couples forget the effort extended before marriage, students forget the hardships they may have gone through. "Do you remember in the last four years how many sleepless nights you had, how many social events you missed, and how often you had to force yourself to resume studies after fatigue and frustration? It is through these continual efforts that you have obtained the knowledge for qualifying yourself to be physicians." There must be some time and effort devoted to "keep ourselves up-to-date," he told the graduates. "We are members of a cultured society and therefore cannot live a Robinson Crusoe's life. We must learn something about music, literature, history, and other disciplines. If we suffer from the cultural malnutrition we shall lack the modern jargon, the 'communication' between us and people from other walks of life ... The yearbook mentioned that Dr. Lee knew every senior by his first name. "Truly I remember each and everyone of you not only by your first names but also some of your interests and personalities. I do not have electronic eyes nor am I an instant camera. The way I remember is twofold. One, I took the time and effort to do so, and two, I look upon you as respectable individuals. Will you, my dear friends, look upon your future students, patients, and fellow citizens as respectable individuals and remember them?" 20 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Now therefore on behalf of the great company of physicians who have gone before you I call upon you to take, as they have taken before you, the oath that bears the name of Hippocrates. Twenty senior medical students shared 17 awards at senior class day presented by Dean LeRoy A. Pesch. Two, who received three honors each, are: JeffreyS. Ross- elected into the national honorary society in medicine Alpha Omega Alpha, received Thesis Honors, and was awarded the Bacceli Award for continued excellence of research; and James K.

Class of 1946 The rationale behind hydration with balanced salt solutions is to provide a readily available supplement to fluid in the interstitial phase of the extracellular compartment. Interstitial fluid normally replenishes blood volume deficits following hemorrhage. Many preoperative conditions and presurgical manipulations tend to deplete this compartment. Also, intestinal obstruction or severe surgical trauma, especially around the gastrointestinal tract, often immobilizes more fluid. As a result, hypotension and anuria can occur with minimal or moderate hemorrhage. Blood, plasma, or dextrans have been used to maintain stable circulation under these conditions. However, they should be administered with care, since they may cause complications such as sensitization or hepatitis. Dr. Roth and associates apparently prefer blood, plasma, or dextrans while limiting other fluids. They base their conclusions on experiments using an interesting modification of the 35 8sodium sulfate space measurement. This measurement has been difficult to make and interpret. I could not undertake an appraisal of their modification from the article and references available (MM, July 14, 1969). The following minimum information would be useful: after the functional relation was determined by the proposed mathematical curve-fitting method, could experiments associated with its differentials and integrals be satisfied? What was the nature, location, and success of these experiments? Dr. Raymond J. Trudnowski is a 1946 Medical School graduate. He is associate chief of the department of anesthesia, Roswell Park Memorial Institute. He is one of five U.S. physicians whose comments on use of water and sodium in surgical procedures were included in the April 20 issue of MODERN MEDICINE. His comments appeared as a "Forum" feature and are reprinted here.D From our studies we have concluded that patients benefit from hydration. Treatment, however, should be adapted to each patient according to kidney function, preoperative hydration, hematocrit, cardiac status, and amount of trauma and hemorrhage anticipated. The usual patient receives Ringer's lactate solution at an initial rate of 15 ml. per kilogram of body weight per hour intraoperatively. This is constantly adjusted to current needs. Blood is given to treat potentially harmful red cell deficits. My guides to treatment are blood pressure, pulse, and blood loss measurements supplemented by urinary output and central venous pressure when indicated. Our studies since 1961 have shown that unmodified Ringer's lactate solution, with its relatively low sodium and chloride concentration, is as useful as any solution proposed for this purpose. We have not encountered pulmonary edema following its administration. Hypoxia or lymphatic obstruction usually associated with atelectasis seems to be a more important factor in precipitating this condition.D 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �1969-70 APFME Scholarship Winners John Antkowiak, '71 Yung-Cheung Chan, '73 Thomas Lawley, '72 Cheektowaga, N.

SUNYAB 23 �Cerebrovascular Disease Dr. Ibrahim In the United States, deaths from cerebrovascular disease now run about 200,000 per year and are exceeded only by deaths attributed to arteriosclerotic heart disease and cancer. Estimates on stroke indicate that at least two million Americans show clinical evidence of this illness and that over one-half of this number survive the acute, initial phase of the disease to live for some years, usually in a seriously disabled condition. The existence of these hundreds of thousands of seriously disabled stroke patients is even more distressing when much of the problem could be avoided by the timely application of preventive or rehabilitative treatment. How has Western New York fared? A recent study on the epidemiology and medical care available to stroke patients in this region reveals that there is about a 17.6 percent death rate (rate has been corrected for an undercount) from this disease that is higher among females than males, and among nonwhites than whites except for the 75 + age group. It also points to the 8,000 stroke patients in the region with an additional 4,000 new patients each year. Said the study's principal investigator Dr. Michel Ibrahim, who is an associate professor of social and preventive medicine and deputy health commissioner of Erie County, "this study will hopefully lead to a more efficient and effective use of our region's resources, pinpoint needs in the area, and provide data for the planning of future stroke programs." "Our study," he continued, "is based on the two million people living in the counties of Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Niagara, Genesee, Wyoming, and Erie of New York and Pennsylvania. This is the eight-county region of the Regional Medical Program, a university-sponsored regional body responsible for carrying out the national program to conquer heart disease, cancer and stroke by bringing to patients more rapidly the benefits of research." The study was based on data obtained from medical records from 42 hospitals, death certificates from health departments and information from a stratified sample of physicians in the region who routinely treat stroke patients. Data was compiled and evaluated under his direction by investigators William Van Wie, Harvey H. Borden, Irene Andruczyk, and Elsa Kellberg. Assisting in the study was the 18-member Regional Medical Program's Stroke Committee chaired by Dr. Samuel Sanes, professor of pathology. The investigators noted that of the three types of stroke, thrombosis (clotting of a blood vessel) and embolism (a fragment of a clot that has dislodged from the heart or neck vessel and plugged a blood vessel) accounted for a greater percentage of deaths than did the hemorrhagic type of stroke. When the population studied was ranked by age, the under 45 group accounted for 70 percent, the 45-64 group for 20 percent, and the 65+ group for the remaining 10 percent. The over 80 percent of all deaths in the 65+ group was explained by the risk of stroke increasing with age. 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"More than 90 percent of all stroke patients," Dr. Ibrahim noted, "utilized the hospital in their particular county. During a hospital stay ranging from two to four weeks, a majority received several diagnostic tests. " The electrocardiogram appeared to be the most utilized followed by lumbar punctures , skull x-rays , electroencephalograms and brain scans the least used. This may be because one third of the general practitioners reported that electroencephalograms were unavailable to them and one third of all physicians reported that lack of a facility denied them from requesting a specific diagnostic test for their patients. While the number of unavailable tests was lowest for Erie County, it was highest for Cattaraugus. Sixty-seven percent of stroke patients hospitalized for a month or more received physical therapy and twenty percent received occupational therapy. Physicians also felt that at least one half of their stroke patients should receive these two serv;ces. The least used special service at only 9 percent was speech therapy which over three quarters of the reporting physicians indicated should or is being received by less than half of their patients. While speech and occupational therapy is reported available in only 40 percent of the hospitals, physical therapy and social work consultations are, on the other hand, relatively available. A bit more than half of the patients, the study revealed, received consultation services covering neurology, neurosurgery , medicine, and psychiatry. The majority of physicians found these services to be readily available. Most physicians, Dr. Ibrahim noted, do not treat their patients at home. For at least half of their hemorrhagic patients, the most difficult problems for most physicians were the diagnostic, therapeutic or long term care stages, while one third indicated long term care presented the most difficulty for the nonhemorrhagic patient. What is needed? While most physicians felt that home care nursing was readily available, neurology, neurosurgery, vascular surgery, and psychiatry services for some physicians in certain counties was needed as well as additional nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, centralized consultation services, and intensive care units for stroke. Many of the study findings which relate to educational programs for physicians will be used to implement such programs. Dr. Ibrahim pointed out that a stroke registry for the region as well as a standardized recordkeeping system by all hospitals would prove invaluable in obtaining precise estimates of stroke frequency and the impact of future stroke programs. · The study, published in May, was supported by the Regional Medical Program of Western New York, the University's department of social and preventive medicine, and the Erie County Department of Health. D FALL, 1970 25 �T HE Dr. Jerome J. Maurizi discusses chronic lung disease over the network Dr. Harry J. Alvis moderates the program. 54 Hospitals Tune in on Health Advances TELEPHONE LECTURE NETWORK reaches about 2,500 health professionals in 54 Western New York hospitals in eight counties every month. This special network is a part of the Regional Medical Program, directed by Dr. John R. F. Ingall, assistant professor of surgery. Groups of physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, dietitians, medical record librarians, hospital administrators and supervisory personnel, physical therapists and environmental health workers tune in regularly. Last year over 25,000 participated in the network programs. The lecture occupies about 30 minutes. It is followed by an open network discussion period in which any member of the farflung audiences may ask the speaker questions concerning his talk or specialty. All network listeners benefit from the lecture as well as the question and answer period. Usually each lecture is supplemented by 35mm slides. Last year 12 visiting medical educators lectured on the network from the local studio or directly from their offices in another city, via a special conference facility built into the network system. In February Dr. John Knowles' Joseph L. Reynolds, telephone lecture network co-ordinator, checks an experimental EKG transmission from a rural hospital in the region. Nurses listen to a lecture at Children's Hospital. 26 �Three cardiologists participate in telephone lecture at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. They are- Drs. Gregory Farry, Joseph Zizzi, and Andrew G. Finlay Jr. Dr. Ingoll, co-ordinator of the program. A group of physicians listen to telephone lecture at the Wyoming County Community Hospital, Warsaw, N.Y. lecture to students and faculty was beamed from Butler Auditorium over the network. Dr. Knowles is general director of the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and Chairman of the Board of Visitors of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University. "The possibilities for its use are absolutely tremendous," says Joseph L. Reynolds, network co-ordinator. "We have just scratched the surface. There are a variety of specialized programs that we can use that no one has thought of." Taped lectures are repeated over the network upon request when time permits to assist in in-service training programs at hospitals. However, hospitals are encouraged to tape the lectures for their own library. About 200 lectures have gone out over the network in two years of operations. In the pilot project two years ago (April 2, 1968) 15 hospitals participated. In January the AMA accepted attendance by physicians at the lectures as credits toward its Recognition Award for keeping abreast of medical advances. D FALL, 1970 27 �Dentistry, Pharmacy Name New Deans Two Health Sciences Schools- Dentistry and Pharmacyhave new deans. Dr. William M. Feagans is the new dean of the Dental School and Dr. Michael A. Schwartz is the new dean of the Pharmacy School. Dr. Feagans comes from Tufts University where he has been associate dean for academic affairs in the School of Dental Medicine and associate professor of anatomy since 1966. From 1958 to 1966 he was on the faculty of the Medical College of Virginia. The 43-year-old dean received his D.D.S. from the University of Missouri School of Dentistry and his Ph.D. from the Medical College of Virginia. Dr. Feagans will also be professor of anatomy. He is married and the father of three boys. Dr. James A. English, who has been Dental School dean since 1960, announced his retirement in October 1968. He will continue as professor of oral biology. Dr. Schwartz joined the University faculty in 1963 as an assistant professor of pharmaceutics. He was promoted to associate professor in July 1965, named assistant dean in July 1966, and professor of pharmaceutics April 1970. Dr. Schwartz succeeds Dr. Howard J. Schaeffer, who has been "acting dean" since November 20, 1969. Dr. Daniel H. Murray had been Dean of the Pharmacy School from 1954-1969 until he was named Dean of the Graduate School and Associate Vice President for Academic Development on March 27, 1969. Dr. Schwartz received his bachelor of science degree from the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy; his master's degree from Columbia University College of Pharmacy; and his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. He is married and has two daughters. Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, provost for the Faculty of Health Sciences said, "We are fortunate to have two bright young men who are recognized leaders in their respective fields, as our new Deans. They have proven themselves as teachers, researchers, and administrators. They have the respect of their colleagues- students and faculty."D Dr. Schwartz Continuing Education Five Continuing Medical Education programs have been scheduled during September, October, and November. They are: Sept. 23-25 -Trends in Internal Medicine (50th annual program); Sept. 27-29- Hand Seminar; Oct. 6-7- Health Care for Women; Oct. 14-16 - 5th Annual Pulmonary Disease Program; Nov. 7 (tentative) - Contemporary Therapy for Psychiatrists; Nov. 12-13 (tentative) - Modern Concepts in Coronary Care.D 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Front row left to right: Fran cis J.

Jones, Ph.D., M.D. Professor and Chairman, Department of Anatomy I have known our honored guest ever since he started the study of medicine in the fall of 1941. That was the first time I had the full responsibility for the teaching of gross anatomy, because my predecessor, Dr. Wayne J. Atwell, had died of multiple myeloma in March of that year. What the introductory lecture was about escapes me now, but what I did not say was something like this: " Gentlemen, look at the men to your right and left, the one in front of you and the one behind you and realize that one of the five will not be here next year." These words were used by Dean Ross V. Patterson at Jefferson Medical College but were never used at the University of Buffalo. However, had I used them James Mohn, in seat 49 would have · looked at Marchetta on his right and Montani on his left. In back of him, depending on how he turned around, he may have seen either Steiner or Stafford and in front he should have seen Soodyear who did not survive this educational experience. Jim's class was not unlike the others I have had in anatomy, but something happened to make this class in later years appear quite unique because out of it were spawned three deans of the assistant or associate variety namely, Longstreth, Brown, and Stafford. Jim, Bob, and Bud were among those elected to the James A. Gibson Anatomical Society in their sophomore year.

I lost track of Jim for several years but after he returned to the second floor of the old Medical School our paths crossed many times because there was only one stairwell to the third floor. In 1948 we really got to know and understand each other well because of our roles in staging the first formal Congress of the International Society of Hematology. Jim was Secretary General for the Buffalo meeting, co-chairman for the Committee on Equipment, and a member of my committee for Scientific and Commercial Exhibits. In all of these assignments he demonstrated excellent qualities of leadership and cooperation that have stood him in good stead ever since. Jim and I made many friends from the 21 nations represented at the Buffalo Congress and consequently this intensified our expectancy about attending the 1950 congress in Cambridge, England. Although our University was poor as the proverbial church mouse, Chancellor Capen persuaded the Council to allocate $900 for three tourist class passages on the Queen Elizabeth for Dr. Witebsky, Jim, and myself. For awhile it seemed as though we would have to forego this trip because of the Korean War and the lack of tourist class accommodations. The Oxford group was apprised of the situation and I received the following cablegram from Robb-Smith: WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT INDICATE NUMBER AND CLASS OF BERTH ACCEPT ABLE LATEST DATE YOU WOULD FLY OTHERWISE I WILL ASK WHITBY CANCEL CONGRESS. 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Whitby referred of course to Sir Lionel Whitby, Master of Downing College, Regius Professor of Physics at the University of Cambridge, and President of the 3rd International Congress of the International Society of Hematology. To make a long story short Dr. Witebsky tapped some special funds which enabled us to travel cabin class. Jim and I arrived in New York City after an all night train ride in a coach not knowing for certain whether Dr. Witebsky would go along because of the war scare. When we arrived (August 8, 1950) at Pier 90 for embarkation lo and behold Ernest was already halfway up the gangplank. Two of our admiring and appreciative students from the 1950 class, Drs. Flossie Cohen and Sydney Weinberg, came aboard to wish us bon voyage. Sydney presented me with a bottle of Ballantine scotch. I told Ernest it was mouth wash and he believed it for awhile. We were assigned to C-208 which had two bunks against the wall and one bed beneath a porthole. Ernest was assigned the upper berth but Jim was informed he could sleep there on the way over and that they would switch on the return voyage. Guess what! Jim had to sleep up there both ways. We had a great time at the daily movies, in the swimming pool, on the sun deck, playing bingo (Keno), and the horse races. I lost 10 shillings at bingo but Jim once won a pound ten and six.

On the return trip we made friends with Arthur Fagin, the bartender, whose son was attending medical school. Fagin introduced us to a South African after-dinner drink, Van der Hum. It was a sort of Drambuie, Benedictine brandy which we enjoyed. While at the bar with our backs to the door, Witebsky came in and ordered one of the same without inquiring about the nature of the drink. He took one sip and almost choked. Obviously he was not a pro in such matters. Before dismissing our experiences on the Queen Elizabeth, let me say that in spite of Jim's discomfiture in the upper berth, on September 3rd he ordered a birthday cake from the chef for E. W. which was indeed a surprise. Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Hill and their son Norman joined in the celebration. For the benefit of those who do not know this family Dr. Hill graduated from our medical school in 1928 and he was the first president of the International Society of Hematology which was formed in Dallas and Mexico City in 1946. We arrived in London on August 14 and then spent the next six days touring England and Scotland (under the supervision of Dean and Dawson) with Dr. and Mrs. Ted Evans from New Haven. It is a good thing we were along because Mrs. Evans was continually borrowing pennies from us for the W.C. 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �We finally arrived at Cambridge and made our way to Christ College that was to be our home during the congress. I stayed in a building dating back to 1550 in which Charles Darwin lived during his students days. Jim was given quarters in a newer building- not far from John Milton's mulberry tree. He was also closer to bath facilities- I was 350 yards away from them. That evening Jim and I went to the University Arms Hotel where many of the affluent hematologists were staying. Robin Coombs treated us to several drinks and we left for Christ's College at 10:30 P.M. only to find ourselves locked out. We returned to the hotel for Coombs who eventually showed us where the bell was located for the night watchman. After that experience the college remained open at night. Jim gave his first paper before an international congress. It dealt with "The Spectrum of Rh Antibodies" and was very well received. Hematologists attending the congress were amazed that such a young man could deliver an authoritative paper before having acquired an extensive list of publications to his credit. After the congress Jim and I went to visit Paris. He preceded me while I visited Gwyn Macfarlane and his family on their farm in Oxfordshire. I spent two and a half days in Paris before we took the boat train to Cherbourg. Marcel Bessis entertained me in the laboratory and at his home one day while Jim went on a tour to Versailles.

This was not our kettle of fish because we both had champagne that night, Jim had crepe suzettes, and I a Saute of Raie. The next period of cooperation for us lasted from 1946 to 1953. During that period I served as coordinator for the Medical School between Karr Parker, chairman of the Building and Grounds Committee; Claude Puffer, treasurer of the University; and architects, James and Meadows. Jim and I worked very closely with Lou Howard on the planning of Capen Hall. The total floor space is approximately 200,000 square feet or 5 acres. Jim did more than a yeoman's service in designing the plans for the Department of Bacteriology and Immunology. For example, the University was not prepared to have a medical and dental school on its campus because the powerhouse was shut down during the summer. In other words the Department of Bacteriology and Immunology would have to close shop because steam was not available for autoclaves, sterilizers, and distilled water. Jim finally made it quite clear that an auxiliary source of hot water and steam had to be provided in the building. The distilled water problem caused Jim's hair to gray prematurely, to say nothing about the intricacies of planning for the animal quarters and the Virology Department with its germicidal lamps in the ducts before air was emitted to the outside. 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Both Jim and I heaved a great sigh of relief when Capen Hall was inaugurated but little did we realize that five years hence we would have to go through the same thing for Sherman Hall. Jim was the master mind behind all of the planning for the anticipated Erie County Public Health Laboratories. As a respite from this arduous task Jim was granted a National Science Foundation Senior Postdoctoral Fellowship to work with Robin Coombs in Cambridge. Ten years earlier he was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship which he unfortunately could not accept because of certain military obligations. Part of my letter of recommendation was as follows: He has always been a good teacher regardless of the teaching level. His lectures are clear, concise and to the point. He is always professional in his attitude. I have watched Dr. Mohn develop from a medical student into a fine investigator. Somewhat later when I was chairman of the Committee on Promotions and Tenure it was my privilege to evaluate the many letters submitted to the committee and recommend his promotion to full Professorship in the Department of Bacteriology and Immunology as it was called in those days.

Now that I have wearied you with all of this professional verbiage let us turn to something more interesting- martinis. It is there that Jim and I share a common ground because we both recognize that a well made martini is the most sophisticated of all mixed drinks. Let's face it, Jim is a perfectionist, but not to the extent that he uses a 3.7 to 1 proportion with ice cubes made from distilled water and stirs precisely four and one half turns. At any rate many years ago when I was cleansing my palate with one of Jim's frosty, limpid, and luminous brews I told him that I would gladly wallpaper his living room for him- which indicates that I must have had several. Since then most of my paperhanging equipment has been borrowed and not returned by well-meaning neighbors. The last two times Jim and Marge invited Katie and me to their house I have been tormented with the thought that perhaps this was it- I would have to make good my promise. As it now stands it looks as though I will retire before Jim completes the remodeling and furthermore I am no longer 0. "Paperhanger" Jones. Twenty-five years is a long time to be associated with one department in a single institution. All of us in academic medicine are supposed to mature and grow in stature scientifically and to improve the literature but few of us have the opportunity and privilege to perpetuate our ideas in the physical development of a department, to say nothing of an entire medical school. There should be more occasions like this to show our collective appreciation for the faithful and dedicated service rendered by one of our friends and distinguished colleagues like we have just done.D 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Although they are almost 3,000 miles apart, two scientists are cooperating on a special muscular dystrophy research project. They are Dr. Eric A. Barnard, professor and chairman of the Medical School's department of biochemistry, and Dr. Barry Wilson at the University of California. Dr. Barnard is studying enzymes technically known as cholinesterases found in the muscles of a strain of dystrophied chickens. Changed enzyme patterns are characteristic of muscular dystrophy in both chickens and humans and the detection of high levels of certain enzymes in the blood is considered an early sign of the disease. His work centers on trying to determine the exact location of these enzymes- whether they are at the site where the nerve joins the muscle or inside the muscle cell itself. By special techniques already developed at the Medical School Dr. Barnard has been able to tag cholinesterase molecules in single muscle cells and his studies of these enzymes indicate that they change in chickens afflicted with muscular dystrophy. While he pursues these changed enzyme patterns Dr. Edson X. Albuquerque, associate professor of pharmacology at the University, collaborates by measuring functional alterations in dystrophic muscles from recordings made by inserting electrodes at the nerve-muscle junctions of both normal and dystrophic chickens. Dr. Albuquerque's studies, together with electron microscope findings, indicate that before muscular dystrophy develops to its full extent there is an early alteration in the transmissions between nerves and muscles. "The aim of our work in these laboratories is to trace the earliest effects of the destructive work done by the defective genes," Dr. Barnard said. "If the fundamental changes in the muscle cells can be analyzed the task of treating this disease should come into the realm of the possible." This research project distinguishes the University as one of only seven centers in the world where progress is being made against the disease. The other centers are New York City, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Paris, and Padua, Italy. Dr. Barnard has a $10,000 grant from the Muscular Dystrophy Association of America for his research. D Dr. Thomas Aceto Jr., associate professor of pediatrics, is starting a special fellowship program designed to acquaint physicians with new knowledge in the new speciality fields of pediatrics. Dr. Aceto, who is on the staff at Children's Hospital, said there will be one month fellowships in cardiology, endocrinology, hematology, metabolic diseases, nephrology, and radiology offered to pediatricians and general practitioners.D FALL, 1970 37 Muscular Dystrophy Research Pediatric Fellowships �Dr. Gale Medicine: A Political Force Dr. Gale was graduated in May and is interning at the University of California Medical Center (straight medicine) in Los Angeles. WHEN SAVING LIVES in developing nations, good nutrition and sanitation are vastly more important than sophisticated medicine as practiced in this country. That is what senior medical student Robert Gale found after two summers in Ethiopia and Thailand to evaluate different approaches to medical care. "There is no other way to see the results of deemphasizing preventive medicine than to send people out to learn the futility of treating disease." In countries ruled by emperors, medical care may become a political force. People who do not receive it are going to rebel, he said. The Ethiopian approach is a successful one. "Ethopia is essentially an agrarian country," he said. "An average family of six lives in a small 'tuckel' or circular grass hut no larger than 15 feet in diameter." Subsisting mainly on "enjera," a corn grain pancake into which "wat", a stew made from whatever is available (rarely meat) is poured, the family literally eats their plates as they tear off chunks from the huge pancake around which they squat. The chunks then become the utensil with which to scoop up bits of the stew. This is the three meal per day menu. Improper nutrition, coupled with substandard sanitation leads to the high occurrence of infectious disease and amoeba that is so prevalent throughout the countryside. Well adapted to the health needs of the people is the health care team that treks by horseback into the country to educate rather than to futilely treat the populace. There are no physician members on the team of health officers trained in a health college that is manned by American, French and Belgian faculty, sanitary engineers, and public health nurses. "My time," Bob said, "was split between the health college in Gonder, a city of 15,000 and the fourth largest in the country, and the weeklong team visits into the countryside." One Swiss project now underway to grow hybrid grains may vastly improve the nutrition in the country, he pointed out. Last summer's experience in Thailand, a nation of 33 million, presented another approach to medical care. "Thailand," Bob said, "represents a very old culture, a blending of Mongul and Chinese civilizations. It is similar to Ethiopia in that its economy is based primarily on agriculture but differs in that 70 percent of its populace is literate. There is a radio in every village where 80 percent of the population live." Western medicine, said the senior who will intern in medicine in California, was introduced to Thailand early in the 20th century. Royal patronage, the founding of a medical school by American missionaries, Rockefeller Foundation support, and subsequent American aid has led to medical care and teaching in Bangkok today that is comparable with that in any western urban teaching hospital. Five university medical centers in Bangkok, all staffed by Thais trained in the States, assure the 2% million who reside there of good medical care. But the picture changes outside when one leaves the city. Prowestern medicine becomes ineffectual to the needs of the villagers. One of the most desired commodities of a literate urban and rural population is health services. And in a country where the urban patient/ physician ratio of one to 1,100 jumps to the astronom- 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �ically high one to 187,000 rural ratio, medicine becomes a viable political issue for a government faced with possible insurgency from a population exposed to border terrorists. But how does the Thai government convince extremely welleducated physicians to leave a first-class hospital and practice in a rural community devoid of the simple luxury of electricity? The Ethiopian approach, Bob feels, is the more successful one where health professionals are undereducated and strong family ties encourage them to remain in their rural environment. Headquartered at the sophisticated equipped and staffed Siriraj hospital in Bangkok, Bob joined their mobile health team as they traveled around the country. Diseases that he saw included both infectious and parasitic, Shistasomiasis, Bangkok hemorrhagic fever, an acute child's viral infection, and leprosy. There were also side trips to Nepal and to hospitals located in India and Zanzibar. When asked whether international medicine is in his future plans, he responded "too many people in medical school are unaware of what is going on in the world. If one has a premonition of what he is doing and what it represents, it becomes important to his intellectual development to travel and to see things. It will make a difference in the manner in which he will spend the rest of his life."D The associate dean for Continuing Medical Education resigned June 1 to become director of Medical Education at the Millard Fillmore Hospital. He is Dr. Harry J. Alvis, who has been an associate professor of Social and Preventive Medicine since May, 1964. He will continue as a volunteer member of the Medical School faculty. He is director of the school's hyperbaric medicine program and teaches emergency medical care. Dr. Alvis will be the first full-time director of medical education at the Millard Fillmore Hospital. He will plan the educational program and service assignments for medical students and interns in consultation with the chairmen of the various departments. He will also interview students, who wish to work at the hospital as "student externs," interns and residents, counsel them about their careers, assist in evaluating their performance and serve as liaison between them and the hospital administration. In 1933 Dr. Alvis received his medical degree from the University of Iowa, and in 1949 his master of public health degree from Harvard. From 1941 to 1964, he was an officer in the Navy Medical Corps, where he specialized in submarine and diving medicine. It was this specialty that brought him to Buffalo to work on the newly developed program in hyperbaric medicine. Millard Fillmore is the only non-government hospital in Western New York which has a hyperbaric unit used for research and treatment.D FALL, 1970 39 Dr. Alvis Resigns Dr. Alvis �The annual meeting The Future of APFME In discussing the APFME's future role the new president indicated he would seek an increasingly effective voice as a critical spokesman for physicians in educational affairs and University developments as they would affect regional hospitals, medical practice and physicians. Beyond that, the APFME would facilitate improving medical education so as to reflect the scientific, communications, technological and other needs of a rapidly changing profession and health care system. Dr. Marvin L. Bloom said the organization had retained a nationally respected accountant to review its management and financial status. Members will be provided a past and current record of its affairs. Dr. Bloom was one of the original APFME group which preceded the existence of any APFME constituency. Of the present Executive Committee, Dr. Harry LaForge and Dr. Edgar Beck were with Dr. Bloom at the beginning in 1953. Dr. Grant Fisher and Talman VanArsdale were members: along with the late Dr. Stockton Kimball, Dr. William Orr and Dr. Henry Kenwall. So far, the APFME has recognized three distinct phases of activity. From 1953 to 1962, the Fund supplemented university budgets of our medical school's preclinical departments; so as to make them nationally more competitive in recruitment for faculty. After SUNY took over in 1962, the medical school requested APFME backing for scholarships, summer clinical fellowships, national medical student recruitment, publication of the Buffalo Medical Review and continuing medical education. Following a consistent tradition of initiating projects with seed money, the APFME has insisted that continuing support would not be provided. At this point in 1970, Dr. Bloom indicated that the APFME has entered a third phase; withdrawing from previous activities. 40 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A native of Buffalo, Dr. Bloom received Bachelor of Arts and Doctor of Medicine degrees from the University of Buffalo. He served in the Army Medical Corps in this country and in Germany. An accredited specialist in clinical hematology, Dr. Bloom practices medicine at the Buffalo General Hospital where he is one of the senior attending physicians. He is also consultant in hematology at the Buffalo Veteran's Hospital, Niagara Falls Memorial Hospital and Mt. St. Mary's Hospital in Lewiston. Dr. Bloom's continuing research in hematology has included publications in blood cell histochemistry, hemolytic anemia and cryopreservation of blood. He has been active in medical communications, producer of broadcast videotapes for SUNY and he is current national president of the Association of Medical Television Broadcasters (AMTvB), whose national office is in Los Angeles. The AMTvB is an organization of medical school educators dedicated to improving the aspect of medical teaching relevant to recorded media and innovative communications systems. He is a member of several scientific societies, including the American Society of Hematology and the International Society of Hematology. When Clifford Furnas was UB President and Dr. Stockton Kimball was medical dean, Dr. Bloom served as director of research and development for the Medical School. Since then he has been associate dean of the School of Medicine, director of SUNYAB continuing medical education, statewide SUNY-coordinator of continuing medical education and director of SUNYAB Health Sciences continuing medical education. For several years, he has been chairman of the statewide medical society of the State of New York committee on continuing (postgraduate) education. In the Medical School, Dr. Bloom is associate clinical professor of medicine. Dr. Bloom's distinguished predecessors as President of the APFME include Drs. Edgar Beck, Victor Pellicano, and Max Cheplove. D Drs. Cheplove, Regan, Anthane �Uncommon Paralysis Studied New Campus The cause of an uncommon but by no means rare type of paralysis may have been isolated by a group of Buffalo investigators. For the patient suffering from the neural disorder known as the guillian-barre syndrome, a self-limiting paralysis that starts in the feet and works its way upward, the discovery may drastically reduce the usual two month duration for this disease. While its cause is unknown, it often occurs after infection from a virus. Their studies, which suggest that antibody Gamma G is the culprit, began with a 43-year old woman who became paralyzed three weeks after her first small pox vaccination. She was referred to the Allergy research laboratory at the Buffalo General Hospital where her blood sample was subjected to various immunological studies. However, through one of these studies, immunofluorescence which is a fluorescent staining technique, the research found that her serum contained a specific antibody that had not previously been demonstrated by this technique by anyone. It was the antibody Gamma G that acts against the myelin sheath nerve tissue. The researchers continued their studies utilizing the same staining technique on 30 normal patients. However, in only one was there a slight reaction. They also studied many other neurological conditions of the peripheral nerves -multiple sclerosis, diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, but in only two patients with severe cirrhosis of the liver was there a positive nerve reaction but of a low antibody presence. Coauthors of a paper presenting the above findings at the 54th annual meeting of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology in Atlantic City are Medical School faculty: Drs. Kam S. Tse, assistant research instructor in medicine; Donald Tourville, research assistant instructor in medicine; Thomas Tomasi, Jr., professor of medicine; Carl Arbesman, clinical professor of medicine and clinical associate professor of microbiology; and Konrad J. Wicher, research assistant professor of medicine and associate professor of microbiology.D The John W. Cowper Company of Buffalo was awarded an $11 million contract for the initial phase for construction on the new Amherst Campus. This contract covers the construction of four three-story dormitories and a dining hall. The facilities will accomodate 828 students and will serve Colleges A and B. Bids for a second dormitory complex will be received before Sept. 1.0 42 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Buffalo Evening News Renovating a 1929 Model A Ford is a fascinating hobby for Dr. Timothy Siepel, a 1969 Medical School graduate. He has been interning the last two years at the Buffalo General Hospital. He left Buffalo in July to practice mediCine for the Public Health Service on an Indian reservation near Glacier National Park in Montana. Dr. Siepel used the car for his transportation while a medical student. Two years ago one of the teeth broke off the timing gear, and since that time there have been many other mechanical problems. Gradually Dr. Siepel rebuilt the engine. He admits he had lots of help from a friend, Tony Stellracht, who used to be a Model A mechanic. He also found a machine shop in Erie, Pa. to do work on some of the parts he needed. Some others were ordered from Detroit.D FALL, 1970 43 Auto Hobby �Buffalo Evening News Mary Lynne Simoncelli, a pupil in the Truman School in Lackawanna, is being examined by Dr. Hertzel Rotenberg. Grouped around are Mrs. J. Clemenston, a hospital nurse; Dr. D. Kenneth Wilson, head of the University Speech and Hearing Clinic; and Mrs. Ruth L. Jaeger, school speech clinician, who started the study. Chronic Hoarseness Studied The Medical School faculty is working with University speech clinicians to learn what causes chronic hoarseness in many of the children in the four Lackawanna schools. Drs. John M. Lore, head of the division of otolaryngology, and Hertzel Rotenberg, assistant professor of otolaryngology, together with two resident physicians Drs. Michael Del Monica and Stephen X. Giunta volunteered to examine 50 children at Children's Hospital. The children were selected at random for the pilot project. The team hopes to learn, through future studies, whether air pollution, or other factors in the lives of the children, may be contributing to the hoarseness.D 44 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Three Medical School faculty members have been named to a University Liaison Committee to work in conjunction with the Community Welfare Council Committee on Drugs. They are Drs. Edward F. Marra, chairman of social and preventive medicine; Saxon Graham, clinical professor of medical sociology; and M. Luther Musselman, clinical associate professor and associate director of student health. Dr. Ira S. Cohen, provost of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration, will chair the Committee. Other members are Steven L. Larson, associate professor of law and chairman of the University's Committee on Drugs; Dr. Nathan Altucher, director of the Student Counseling Center; and James Gruber, acting director of Norton Union. Dr. Peter F. Regan, acting president, outlined three purposes for the Committee he named: "to coordinate our internal educational and preventive programs with similar programs in the Western New York community; to help make available to community groups the scientific and professional expertise of the University applicable to the problem; and to enable the University to draw upon the advice, assistance, and proposals of the community." Dr. Regan pointed out that the "establishment of the Committee springs from a genuine desire on the part of the University to meet its obligation in helping to remedy a serious situation. The drug problem is not that of this University alone. It is with every college and university and with an alarming number of high schools in the nation. It is in all parts and levels of society and appears to be growing." The acting president went on to say that to those who consider this pattern simply a response to illogical laws, I would point out that the use of alcohol by the older generation is rising, as are the incidence and ravages of alcoholism. The University has responded to this national problem with "its own internal programs of action"-vigorous treatment programs, preventive measures, and enforcement proceedings against students and visitors engaged in "unlawful drug activity." "All of these internal measures leave me with a sense of dissatisfaction. Answers to drug problems are not known. The laws, educational programs, and other measures are simply not working. We need to probe far more deeply into the causes of the problem. We need to do this in a real partnership .with others-viewing the problem of drug abuse in the setting of modern society, plagued by a host of other problems such as pollution, overpopulation, and war."D Drug Liaison Committee Plans for the Quasquicentennial, the 125th anniversary of the University will be made by a special committee headed by Dr. A. Westley Rowland, vice president for university relations. On May 11, 1971 the University will be 125 years old. It will be the goal of the committee to plan a comprehensive commemoration which will allow for wide participation by both the campus and community.D Anniversary Committee FALL, 1970 45 �Walking a ttTightrope" by Peter Regan, M.D. Acting President Regan presented this view of universities today- and, by implication, his philosophy of university administration - at the annual Medical Alumni Spring Clinical Days, April 11. Dr. Regan resigned as Acting President, June 30. He is now professor of psychiatry in the School of Medicine. The best way that I have found to discuss what's going on in universities is to start out by deciding not to become preoccupied with the symptoms of the moment, but to address the basic issues and basic problems which exist. All across this nation and the world, universities are having problems. You find confrontations going on at the University of Illinois in Urbana, at Michigan, at Michigan State, at Princeton, at private institutions like Stanford, at public institutions like Hunter College, in France - everywhere. In every one of these situations, the people involved are like patients who are desperately ill. They are preoccupied with the particular symptoms that this illness manifests. I'm sick and tired of going around Buffalo and having everybody ask me, "Well, isn't all this the result of the fact that we have more people from New York City?" "Isn't all this the result of the fact that we have Professor X or Student Yon campus?" The fact of the matter is that the difficulties we have at Buffalo have different trigger mechanisms than difficulties which exist at other universities but the root of those difficulties is virtually identical. All universities these days are walking a tightrope. And it's that tightrope- the character of it, the alternatives, the problems- that I'd like to discuss first. Here's what the tightrope is about: On the one side, universities are vital structures in society. They operate at the most advanced levels of knowledge. Society cannot continue to function without them. They have to remain relatively stable in order to educate the thousands of people who need education. They need to remain relatively stable in order that the classic needs of society can be met. If you look at our University at Buffalo, this means stability for 22,000 students, 1,500 faculty, and 4,000 staff. The University, as an essential part of the higher educational network in this State, has to be maintained in a stable situation. That's one side of the tightrope. The other side is that status quo and inflexibility cannot be tolerated. Change is necessary and improvement is necessary. We are racked today within universities, and within society, by many, many problems. All of us in the medical profession recognize that we have to determine new and better ways, for example, of delivering health care. We have to determine new solutions for the problems of illness. The engineers have to find new ways of transportation, new ways of moving around masses of people. The social scientists have to determine ways in which the whole society we live in can avoid being toppled by one group or another which chooses arbitrarily to go on strike. We have all seen in these last weeks how one group or another can virtually bring society to its knees. In one fashion or another, we have to find answers to these problems. And yet, the stable university that we need does not have mechanisms right now to address itself to these problems of society. 46 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �If you want to understand, for example, urban poverty, you can't do it by studying economics alone. Urban poverty is related to knowledge and skills from more than a half-dozen professions. To deal with it, requires the contributions of economists, of lawyers, of sociologists, of humanists, of architects, engineers and others. All those groups have to be drawn together to find, through research, answers to the problems that face society. Thus, we can describe the tightrope as the need for stability on the one hand and for innovation and change on the other. How can we achieve this? Theoretically, there are a number of ways in which we can do it. We can extend the frontiers of knowledge by the classical means of research. This, of course, in our Medical School, is a way in which we've made enormous contributions- hyperbaric medicine and a whole series of surgical-medical treatments in these last 124 years. We also have to establish new bonds between the professions, and between the disciplines within the University, bringing together lawyers and sociologists, architects and engineers. We need to undertake experimentation. We need to bring new groups together within disciplines. We need to undertake things like the colleges as means of experimentation. But when we experiment, whether it be with the Themis Project, with international education, with health related professions, or with the colleges, we have to recognize that an experiment is an experiment. It is not an eternal commitment. When you start out in a laboratory on an experiment, you set up a certain number of conditions, you examine these conditions, you work through your experiment and you evaluate the results. If your results are good, you carry on your experiment further. If the results are bad, or require change, you have to be prepared to bring about those changes or modifications. We need change, therefore, and we also need, to go back to that other side of the tightrope, to preserve the stability of the classic unit. Now, here we are on the tightrope- stability and change. What is the threat? Well, there are a number. The one that we read about most in the newspapers is the threat of revolutionary activity. All around this country, there are, at every major university, a handful of people who, as nearly as anybody can judge, are fanatically determined that the present system of society is bad. These people are willing to engage in revolutionary tactics aimed at bringing down the present system. At university after university, it seems apparent that the determination and fanaticism of these people can be dealt with only by the forces of law and by whatever necessary help is called for -from police agencies, from courts and from the other resources that society has with which to preserve itself. These are a very small number of people, however, within any university. Their tactics are sensational tactics. And I would wager that three-quarters of the people in this room have been taken-in by these sensational tactics. That is, you read about the hubbub FALL, 1970 47 �and difficulties that we have at our University. At its worst, a couple of buildings were closed down for a couple of days. For a couple of days, classes went down to about 60 per cent attendance. But for almost every day for the last couple of months, there has been over 90-95 per cent attendance in the University. However, this publicity about the revolutionary activity leaves an awful lot of people - my neighbors and your neighbors thinking, "My God, the whole University's been closed down for the past month." The sensational tactics can create that impression of total chaos and disruption because of the attention they receive. The real things we want to watch, however, the real threats to walking along this tightrope between stability and change, come much more from shallow thinking and from temporary thinking within the University. One of the major threats is change that is not an added, improving element, but which destroys what is good within the University- change that may be imaginative and exciting to some but change that can destroy the integrity or the stability of other people or units within the University. We have seen initiated at one university after another changes which destroy. If this is not viewed properly, analyzed and corrected, if the protective mechanisms are not built in, the University system can be ground to a halt by this kind of change. The second internal threat that we face goes back to the notion of experiment that I talked about before. Experimentation without evaluation produces a shambles. If I do something- malicious, irresponsible, capricious or destructive- and claim that my excuse for doing it is that I'm experimenting ... if you allow me to experiment without asking me how I'm going to evaluate this experiment, what are the controls that I have posed on this experiment, you have given me license to do almost anything under the flag of experimentation. Experimentation without evaluation is a real danger. The third danger we face within the University is a uniformity that does not recognize the inherent diversity of a university structure. Our University is a city of over 27,000 people. The needs of the Medical School have one set of characteristics; the needs of the English Department have another set of characteristics. Each of the professional schools has different needs, different characteristics. Yet, there is a tendency to bring all problems to a central body which then makes uniform rules on admissions, on curricula, on faculty appointments and promotions. Such centrally agreed-upon rules, while they may be very good in general principle, can do great harm to the constituent units within the University. 48 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �I think these are the three basic challenges that threaten to push the University off the tightrope on which it walks. If we want to maintain stability and also to change in a rational fashion, we must keep change from destroying. We must make sure we do evaluate experiments and we must make sure that we guarantee the right of faculty members and students of schools and units to be free from arbitrary, uninformed or overly-general legislation. How do we do this? The program that I believe in, the program that we are attempting to follow at our University, says that we take four steps: First of all, we must establish and maintain a rational, secure and peaceful forum within which ideas can be debated, analyzed and agreed upon. Second, we must revise drastically the governance system within the University so that there can be at the central level a stable, representative form of faculty senate, but we must also establish jurisdictional limits on that central senate. The third point is that we must provide autonomy to the major units of the University- an autonomy which guarantees that the schools, such as the Medical School, or faculties, such as the health sciences, cannot have their educational purposes watered down or destroyed by uninofmed or arbitrary central decision. Finally, we have to set up a system which does not mandate changes but encourages positive change- a system which will reward, for example, the Medical School as it goes into better explorations of health care distribution, as it goes into other aspects of research; that will reward it for using its own initiative and pursuing its own objectives in an imaginative and informed way, rather than telling the Medical School or any other unit how it needs to go about it. This University's Medical School, for example, can be considered a keystone of the whole University- not only because of its 124 years of existence but because of its size and excellence as an educational unit. Such a unit not only has an academic integrity of its own but contributes to the academic integrity of the University. What has to be done within the University is that the Medical School must be encouraged to exercise its autonomy and its internal decision-making to explore new and positive patterns. It is this kind of program- the exercise of the four points that I've indicated- that I believe looks toward a positive forward thrust as we keep on going down the tightrope. We are never going to get off the tightrope of maintaining stability and making change. But we must move down it more rapidly so that the university- the greatest assemblage of knowledge at the most advanced level that exists- can make better and better contributions to society and to all of us .... Status quo is not the right thing- we will topple off the tightrope that way. Change without thinking is not the right thing -we will topple off the tightrope.D FALL , 1970 49 �Alcoholism Institute Dr. Smith Dr. Cedric M. Smith is the first director of the new Research Institute on Alcoholism to be located at the University. He has been chairman of the department of pharmacology at the Medical School since 1966. He will continue as professor of pharmacology while serving as director of the Research Institute. Dr. Smith's appointment was announced by Commissioner Alan D. Miller of the New York State Department of Mental Hygiene and Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, provost of the Faculty of Health Sciences. "Under Dr. Smith's direction, the Institute will conduct research on the causes, effects, and prevention of chronic alcohol abuse, and will investigate methods of treatment and rehabilitation of the alcoholic," Dr. Miller said. The affiliation with the University will permit the Research Institute to draw upon the resources of the various disciplines concerned with the problems of alcoholism. The institute will be a center for the collection, analysis and dissemination of data and for interrelated studies by specialists in such fields as medicine, psychiatry, pharmacology, biochemistry, sociology, and law. "This research facility will become a national center for the study of alcoholism and its related problems," Dr. Miller said. "We must know more about alcoholism and its victim, not only his medical condition but how his life and livelihood are affected. We must find some way to halt the rising human and economic costs of this disease." Provost Surgenor noted that Dr. Smith's distinguished career as scholar, professor and administrator in pharmacology makes him an "ideal choice for director of the new Institute." "By continuing as a professor in the Health Sciences Faculty he will have an excellent opportunity to act as a bridging point between the Institute and the Department of Mental Hygiene on the one hand and the University on the other hand," Dr. Surgenor said. The newly appointed director came to Buffalo in 1966 from the University of Illinois College of Medicine, with which he had been associated since 1954, first as an instructor and finally as professor and acting head of the department of pharmacology. He has served as a consultant to scientific study sections in pharmacology and neurology of the National Institutes of Health since 1964. At the University, Dr. Smith started an undergraduate course, "Drugs and the Mind", which has been well received by students. Dr. Smith's primary research interests have centered on neuropharmacology, the mode and site of the action of drugs which alter skeletal muscle and sensory functions, and general and comparative pharmacology. The wide variety of research projects he has carried out have been supported largely by grants from the National Institutes of Health. He has written over 50 papers on his research findings. In commenting on his appointment, Dr. Smith said: "The alcohol problem is really a number of different problems ranging from alcoholism itself to the number of diseases associated with heavy alcohol use, from acute intoxication and arrests for public intoxication to industrial absenteeism because of workers with on-the-job problems stemming from alcohol abuse. 50 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �All of this is further complicated by the paucity of treatment services. In our society the social pressure to use alcohol is great and many people are vulnerable to such usage and experience various health and social problems associated with it. "In view of the unique talents and opportunities in this university setting, the Institute will focus initial attention on defining positive and negative aspects of medical and social care provided for those with alcohol problems, determining what factors initiate and continue the heavy use of alcohol, and determining the chemical bases of how alcohol acts on brain cells." Eventually, the Research Institute will be located for interplay with facilities of the Health Sciences complex at the State University. Interim facilities are being developed at the E. J. Meyer Hospital in Buffalo. Dr. Smith, who assumed full-time direction of the Institute on July 1, 1970, is already developing proposed programs in collaboration with the Department of Mental Hygiene and the State University.D Dr. Robert J. Mcisaac has been named acting chairman of the department of pharmacology in the Schools of Dentistry and Medicine at the University. Dr. Mcisaac, who has been on the faculty since 1953, replaces Dr. Cedric Smith, who was named director of the Research Institute on Alcoholism Monday (June 22). Dr. Smith will continue on the faculty as professor of pharmacology. Dr. Mcisaac received both his bachelor of science in pharmacy and Ph.D. in pharmacology degrees from the University of Buffalo in 1949 and 1954. He was a post doctoral fellow, in the Graduate school of medicine, University of Pennsylvania from 1956-58. Dr. Mcisaac was promoted to professor of pharmacology on July 1, 1968. He was on a year's sabbatical leave from the university starting Sept. 1, 1965. He studied at the University of Lund in Sweden learning the technique of iontophoretic application of drugs to nerve cells while simultaneously recording the effect of the drugs upon the cell membrane and its response to electrical stimulation. Dr. Mcisaac has received two National Institute of Health grants and has written 17 articles for professional journals.D Acting Chairman Dr. Mcisaac FALL, 1970 51 �Ninety-seven intern and resident physicians received their certificates at the third annual "University Housestaff Program Graduation" given by the School of Medicine.

Some ecologist have ugge ted that involuntary endocrine phen mena also be important in limiting populations. The dju tment between mao's emotional and nervous makeup and the profound changes that are occurring in his environment are serious matters. In the technologically advanced couotrie there i a rise in the incidence of insanity and less acute nervous, mental and emotional disorders of man. These will aff~t the reproductive patterns and maternal capability. The cbncept of ecological succession is probably not particularly important to man. This i the Concept that, in the cour of time, a dominant pecies in a given area will be replaced by another species. Frankly, I do not see any likely candidate pecies on this planet for replacing man. This being the case, the ucce ion of our own ecosystem should be uppermost in our minds. Clearly, the succession of our ecosystem i towaid greater complexity. Theoretically, most sua:essioJU reach a stage that is more stable than those preceding it. At this tage, called a cultural climax there is much less tendency to alter the environment in a manner detrimental to the dominant pecies.

The atmo pheric environment I equally important and change in its makeup ar lso t kin pl We now are becoming familiar with the notion of an air pollu'tion index report imilar to th cu t mary pollen count. It mu t be patently clear to every informed, ob rvant. and thought~person that man must begin to m ke valu judgments l:ia ed on' ecological consideratio . But thi i ea er said than done and brings us back to th nature f man him- self. · Arnold ourt in · recent editorial c ntend that redu lion of pollution of any kind can b achiev d only fter rna ive · reversal of human attitudes. This change in allitud c uld result from greater awarene and an increa ing n of reponsibility of man to his environment . Man mu t 1 m th t deterioration of his environment i ynonymou with deteri· oration of the human community. Community approv I generally is given to th person who obey the t><ritten .. and unwritten code of behavior of th group and who avo~d those act which meet with group di • approval. We all know th t there Is truth in thi tatem nt . It is probably related to th cooperative tendency of m n and is thought to makt; his communit more ure. Unfortunately, when the value y tern of hum n communit i based on economic, what m y be one m n's urit may 11 be another man insecurity. A ca in point wouW be th \ deci ion of an indu trialist to discharge a do of to ic wa te directly into a . natural watercourse for e nomic rea n with the resultant effect of deere in the down tream fish population which a small commercial fi berman ha been d pendent upon. In this case, although the ecol of the river has been di turbed , the fi herman uffer onl a temporary economic to s and an indirect ecological di turb nee. But if the fisherman and his cu tomers had been dependent upon the fish for f~d'\ the eci ion of the industrialist would have had direct human ecological consequences. This may not be the be t example but it doe d the basic conflict between a doiJar-based value y tern nd n ecologically-based value system. Attitudinal change in human societies can have far-re ching and significant imp t. Re ent examples are the "litter bug" camp ign, which d nigrates the poiler of the ae thetic of the ph ic 1 environment. and the ''harmful to the health" attitude toward m k ing tobacco. Children, e peciaJI . re pond to these attitudinal change . Education at the primar and secondary sch I le I dealing with human ecology could be n import nt tep in developing the potential of our ociety to move toward an ecologically-based value y tem.

Or nted, he c n not turn back from the point to which hi communi! ba no progressed, but he does have the capacit to 1 k forward .and to make deci ion ba d on the e value judgment . Not all men will begin thi proce in uni n. One would expect that the more intelligent and inventive individual will ha e a major influence on the evolution of our culture. But unl the majority of men have an appreciation for the ubtletre of · our environment, the ideas put forth b these individual . could be rejected by the group.

Thus, the universities do not determine their miss.ion in isolation but are, in fact, responsive to the organized communities in which they exi t. In historicaJ perspective, societY seems constantly to call upon the universltil!s to atisfy three basic n.eeds: the need for a repo Jtory of knowledge at the most advanced levels, in .a broad variety of di~iplines; the need for an adequate humber of .c.itiz.eris educated at this advanced level. and prepared to work in ~iety as intellectual leaders, scholars, or professioQal practitioners; and the need for keeping the most advanced knowledge and the education of citizens geared to the changing configurations of the society. Tlius, through the centuries, we can see the trends emerge. In the early years of this miJJennium, the thrust of universities was focused on the production of professional people well prepal'ed to serve the .kingly elite. As special needs devefoped, special additions were made to the universities1 one college at Oxford, for example, was founded in order to guarantee an adequate upply of clergymen for Wales. As fhe centuries advanced and 'population grew, a wider leadet$hip was necessary, and universities added a pattern of general education, which would quillify. the gentlemen not engaged in profe sions to serve in more general leadership roles in society. Over the last three centuries, in the face of interacting industrial and scientific revolutions, , more and · more field of knowledge were added to disciplines encompassed by universitie , until ow every major university embrace more than a hundred disciplines and professions. Finally, tbe societal changes of the last hundred yeall have led society to demand that larger and larger proportions of its citizens should have tbe benefit of the most advanced education in the' form of specific public programs. Jn t.be Unitt:d States this change was signalled by the establi!bment of the land grant colleges in 1862. As pointed out by Don Price-, from those colleges grew the experiment sta- tion, the extension program and a whole interlocking system of institutions wbicb fed to the federal government playing a more e~ctive role in the agricultural economy than the bureaucfact of any supposedly socialized ,tate. Today, univeTsities as responsiye organisms trying to satisfy the everchanging needs of the society which established and which nurtures them, are being called upon for greater and ~oi­ versaJ participation in higher education and public health programs among others. W-ithin this panoramic view, one can see tha~ nations and societies di play differences in their expectations from univenities wifb changes in emphasis reflecting public values. needs and demands, With respect to research in the United COLLEAGUE 7 ���States, for example, ociety appears to expect that m research will be done within univcrsitie but tum to otb r institution for the bulk of it applied research need .

Ouut odin am ng these problem are the role of poverty a a p tho enic influence, the Jack and maldi tribuiion of profe ional m npower, the uoderrepresentation of di dvantaged min rity grou within the profe ional pool and in our health education l in titutions, .a nd the delivery of care to tho who are not being served becau e of our lack of comprehen ive approach. Pathogenic ln/lutnce of Povuty Unu uaiJy high rates of illne di bility and m rtality are commonly found among those in the poverty group, Of various parameters that one could tudy, inadequate famil income correlates mo t highly with other common factors which contribute to prolonged m ladaptati n, e c ive morbidity and decreased life e pectancy. The poor are plaaued with sub- tanda.rd housing in high populati n de it Ill' and how low utilization of preventive care either through . Jack of knowledge, poorly acce ible health facilities or a lack of motivation. Poor families have three time more d ' bliDJ heart disease, five times more mental di rden, d aeven times more visual impairment than tbe general population. (Reference 1 : Policies Statements of the Govemina Council · of the American Public Health Association adopted ovember 13, 1968, published in the American Journttl of Public He , Vol. S9, ISS, January, 1969). Even more appaDina · the fact that as many a 60 percent of the population eligible for public assistance does not receive payments. lt is apparent that despite J!Ul advances in the biomedical ICieoces, unless we deal with the concomitant eocio-ecooomic aspects of health and illn , the meaninaful application and 10 COUEAGUE DiMJJvlllitttnd Mmority GroM,n T'be dif&ulty in eommunicatinc in a meaninpul wa ith di dvantapd minoritr JI'OUPI received incre.uina rec- �o~rd~on. Suspicion and distrust bred by many years of discriminatory treatment by the "white .establishment" hu com· pounded the difficulty. A greater 'representation of members of minority groups in the medical and allied professions would help immeasurably in opening channels of communication. An approach which has the advantage of broadening 1he bue of allied health workers, increasing the efficient use of the most hiahJy trained professionals and utilizing minority group members in substantial numbers is the development of programs for the trainillg and employment of local realdents in community health service programs. These pei'IODs have been referred to as indiaenous non-professionals and have proven to be effective bridges with the people heretofore not receiving health ~ervices. In psychiatry new careers such u mental health worker or ~bnician coupled with "career ladders" programs both for the new and well established professions will hopefully help to minimize manpower abort· ages and provide improved contact with the underprivileged. EvtJluation of UniveTJit)''l Perform/Jnce Given this situation, what are the universities to do? To an· awer these questions we can best beain by attemPting to evaluate bow well the universities and their professional echoolJ are meeting society's expectations in the field of health. • In teTms of maintaining an awareness of the most defini. tive information about health, they are performing their mission. Information about health care delivery systems, bow· ever, is inadequate. • In terms of generating a sufficient number of educated people capable of satisfying society's needs for professional penonJiel, we are doing a commen~able but inadequate job. In the medical area alone, we are satisfying only 80 percent of the need, and those who graduate. have inadequate preparation and knowledge in the area of health care delivery. • With respect to adapting to the changing needs of society, there is little evidence outside echools and departments of public health and departments of psychiatry of concern with methods for coping w'tb the diae.ue as it exists in patients, each one experiencing his illness in a characteristically unique way, nor the treatment of patients as they exist in society. The adrni ions criteria of university hospitals are phrased in many ways, but they might generally be expressed more bluntlY: "Bring us the right disease, and we will give you the best treatment available. If you don't have the right disea~e, don't call us; we'll call you." Without in any way minimiz.ina the difficulty of chanaing this system, what needs to be done is to transform a considerable portion of the clinical care now beiDa provided under the ae.is of our univenities from an exclusive orientation on disease and buic scientific research, to a balanc:ed orientation designed ~ study· and teach improved methods of bealtb care delivery for all the people in a given area. An appropriate aeament of the clinical care conducted by universities can and should be redesigned to provide health care services to the poor and the minorities in facilities which are accessible, acceptable and utilized .by them. It tabs extraordinary mental aynmutics to justify not doiq so from an edu· cational point of view, for bow can we expect the ltudenta who have never bad the learnina experience of wortina in a JOOCI beaJth care delivery syatcm to eapae in an appropriate pnctitioner's role? COLLEAGUE 11 ��M it is not linked to satellite operations extending through several levels of sophistication, with its roots firmly planted in co~unity health centers located in the neighborhoods in which patients live. The specifics of how best to organize a broad pattem of care . delivery which encompasses prevention, ~?Jb~latory patients, partial and 24-hour hospitalization, rehabilitation, extended care facilities and home care requires the kind of experimentation which universities' can readily undertake. 4. A university operated clinical program will necessarily involve active participa.d on Jn the decision-making processes by the community in which it operates. At this point, w~ should take note of a strange dichotomy which exists in mode~ society, which can recognize that the faculty of a uruvers•ty can appropriately deal with the board of trustees of a major metropolitan . affiliated hospital, but has difficulty in giving more than ·titular "advisory" responsibility to the representatives of a comrnuruty' in which a so-called "community" health center is established. As the cJjnical programs of universities extend into opera tions within the community, ways must be devised in which the people in the neighborhoods and towns which are served have a legitimate and permanent role in the decision-making processes which can affect their lives and the lives of their families and neighbors. S. The clinical programs operated by universities should be geared to the reality of the nation and the world. While it is self-evident that add itional costs and supplementary manpower must be associated with educational clinical programs, in order that appropriate teaching and research can be conducted within those programs, the bard core essence of the programs must be replicable. The core clinical program must be designed and operated. in. such a fashion that similar programs can be repHcated outside of university auspices, without bankrupting the financial or human resources of the nation. ~ clinic:al proaram conducted by a universrty should ~ the eontribuli m that a 'YaTiety of profe ional people mu :t make, if c:ace I to be provided to aU of our citizens. , there uld be a ·p lanned teac:hin and research propm rned with the 'cnment of mponsibjliti and au b >tit to variou membeR o the patient care team.

It seems app: nt that a clinic:al proJtam operated unty'Jusp· uld reflect a system of regional or ~&ion coordination.

Similarly, an ivory tower citadel is a deception if r uni COUEAGUE 13 �6. tf'":he clinical program operated by universiti are to . avoid moving rapidly back to a preoccupation with di , and to avoid the danger ' of becoming h t-h u plan incapable of survival elsewhere, they must be u jected continual and objective scrutiny and evaluation. A the health professional school eng e in uch p ar m t th should dr w upon the research re urce of other univenit disciplines. Re earch team including econ mi t • political scienti ts, architect , sociologi ts, and lawyers, to name but a few, must be drawn into an ongoing apprai al of the program . Only by this means, can the excellence and viabilit of the program in application be continu lly a ured. The clinical programs _operated by universitie sb old also atisfy certain social education criteria: 1. They should embrace all points in the socio-«011 mic st)ectrum of society. There is little doubt that clinical programs now operated by universitie tend to focus their clini· cal efforts on one or another gment of the socio-economic system in the United State . Some university medical eente cater to the affluent white, some to the poverty- trick n black. If a clinical sy tern i to be a proper vebicl for teaching and research, however, it mu t be more, rather than le , comprehensive. Thu , the population covered by clinical program operating under university aegi h uld be designed in such a way as to cover an area which includ era! points on the socio-economic pectrum, so that cr validation of the sy tern's effectiven can be attained . In the first period of ' emergence for uch y tern , the depl rabl lack of care now provided to the poor and to the bl and Puerto Rican minori1ie should claim particular attention, as it is difficult to defend even a developing system which tol· erates such discrimination . ~ . Equa' attention mu t be paid to the age di tribution of the population. It i all too easy to tum our attention awa from the unglamorou need of children and the ap after all, preventive medicine and the care of chronic di do not provide the virtuoso sat' faction of a pectacular cure of a rare disease. It is just uch unglamorou 1"1!85, ho ver, that .can mean the difference between a good life and a poor life, for tens of million of citizen . The proJT m operated by uni enities, therefore, mu t pay careful attenti n to inuring that the de ign of the health care y tern reflects the true di tribution of the population, and the true needs of people within that population. hould 3. Health care y tern operated by univeniti take care to insure adequate geographic di tribution. Already, there is apparent a tendency to cluster medlcaJ facilltie and professional personnel in tho JCOJraphlc are more mar ed by comfort and convenience than by unmet patient care needs. With the transportation availability now present in the United States, there is no reason why every clinical proaram conducted by universities abould not provide care to at least a representative sample of the population in the denlel crowded urban centers and in the parsely-populated rural areas which surround them. The helicopter can be u important in tran porting patients from the hill of Appal chia to Buffalo or Rochester, for ex.ample, as it · on tbe plains of Texas. No listina of the criteria which should be incorporated into a clinical proJT&m run by a university can expect to be complete or final, nor ca.d if expect to be infallible.

In Ankara, Turkey, Dr. lhsan Dogramaci matches Dr. Capen's achievement, and in one way surpasses it. For w~re Dr. apen inherited a medical school that was already Oourisbing when he became president, Dr. Dogramaci created the medical school out of which the present muttiple-fac:ultied Hace~ \ University has grown. He created a medical hool where every student must give as much attention to c1inicaJ experience and fint-hand contacts with patients as be g,ives to the formal lectures delivered by the faculty. The faculty are encouraaect to incotporate into Jectures as much as possible of their experience growing out of their own contacts with patients.

A !flammoth building program hu been under way at the University for the pa t several years. At the edge of th Old City of Ank ra a VaSt new m'edlcal school c mpl is be"n assembled, in close.contac,:t with the teeming di tricts wher the poor but fiercely proud lower income cl s Jive, maintain their shop , and ply their trade . As new space i need d, homes are bought (the Univer ity's price is ery &ood), tom down, and the foundation of new univenity bu:Udin are laid. Something in the way of medieval picturesquen is doubtle s lost, but the crowded old howe and slum of gece kondus (squatters' home , whose roofs have been lit· erally or figuratively raised overnight, so that legall howe and land · can be claimed by the squ tter) are prob bl more sightly to tourists than comfortable for the inhabitants. Witb the money paid for their property, the re idents move out from city center and .build new borne , mo t of which are, unlike the old, modernized with plumbing and running water. It will take time to build Ankara and Turkey. Hacettepe is one instrum nt. 0ut in the suburb near Middle t Technical University, a large new acreage has been purchased for a second campu .

Attendance i required in cia • that for a class of 30 undergraduate the a erage daily attendance over a semester may be better than 28. A cl of graduate student will average nearly perfect attendance. In many other Turki h universitie , eta se in sociaJ sciences and arts may .dwindle until only a trickle of students attend reaularly; on the other band, a large number k to have their programs ihitialed, indicating that they are enrolled in the class. Hacettepe requires final examination in all courses while at some other scbOQis, there are only the aeneral examinations, at the end of the first, the third, and the l t y ar. At Hacettepe, it i more difficult for a tudent to cheri b the illusion that he can hold off for a semester, or a year, or even two years, and then prepare for a general examination in one great flourish during the last few weeks before it is given. 'The library at Hacettepe is surpri ingly modem, attractive, and open. Books are on open shelves and can be borrowed by students, unless they are on reserve. It · still a mall li· brary, and many boob will be needed, but large 5Utn!l are being spent to increase the li tinp. In one way, Hacettepe is too much like European universities. In part, it nourishes the myth that students will buy teXt· books even if books are not ordered for a class, or the other myth that placing an order at some city bookstore will auarantee having boob on time. While the medical atudenb may have their patients in front of them_. in some other clute~ the only textbook may be the one commandeered by the teacher. Such a practice continues the tradition of the teacher u a prophet, with the studenll" his helpless acolytes.

The only thing the ev cuees were ure to have in common was recent residence in California and "yellow" skin. "This was egregation based on color," Dr. Opler make. clear. "There was a German P.O.W. camp near Tule Lake. The German prisoners were allowed to go into H~ town to buy in the stores.

Eilch evacuee was budgeted 45 cents a day for food (later unofficfally dropped to 21 cents). Food was supp_lied to the Center through th Army quartermaster, aQd Dr. Opler -re ails that the hipments regularly included spoiled or contaminated food . Jnmates were constantly being fingerprinted. Army personnel searched barra.cks and any packages receiVed from the outside for contraband. Whenever tension in the Centers mounted bey d the CaJ1:ely bearable level of everyday, community pathology would flare. Suicides rose. Dr. Opler documented an increase in catathymic outbursts and oth r evidence of mental illness at tl:ie e times. There was one particularly tragic case at Tule Lake. A young Nisei mother battered two of her young children to death, explaining that their brains, meared on the barracks wall, were their sad and unspoken thoughts. Three moqths jlway from the pre sures of the Center, she experienced complete remis ion. Becau e of the Center's isolation, it was particularly vulnerable to rum·o r. Evacuees wondered if the fact th~t Nisei who · volunteered for ·the draft were being classified 4-C meant that their citizenship was being offl.cially denled. There was talk of mass deportation after the war. The rumor mill turned both ways. California speechm kers and the Hearst press painted the Center as hotbed of ubve.rsive unrest. incidents such as tbe non-violent demon tration at Tule Lake were publicized as revolts. When FDR died. there was said to be celebrating in the Centers. Jn fact, as Dr. Opler recalls, there was genuine sadness among ·those Japa'nese-Americans who felt the country had lost a liberal presi,dent (there wa to be greater adness shortly- many of Tule Lake's evacuees were from Japan' Hlro hima~ken) . The only celebrations that he remembers were a few beer parties held by white ciVil servants who considered the "Roosevelt menace" econd only to the yellow peril. There was bittemes and resentment among the Japanese-America.n:s, of course. Many young Nisei refused to rcgi er for the draft until their rights were restored, aJthoug.b mo t majn. tained their loyalty to the government.

My two sons were biller wheo they heard they had to go. One of them refused. He said the Government could put him in prison or shoot him. Almost all night I plead with him. The next day I went to see his teacher in college that be liked and respected most and asked the teacher to talk with him. They were together for several hours. After that he said he would eo. That was all be said. The look on his face made me afraid. He behaved strangely io the assembly center and in the relocation center. The other boy was not himself either. I sent both boys to college as soon as possible. They have been ouwde for three years now. The older one, the one who refused to be evacuated, is in medical school. They arc better, but it seems to me there is still a little warping in th.em. Maybe they will get over it sometime.

A series of landmark cases involving novels have similarly brought critics and literary fig1.1res into the courtroom to take part in strange debates in which men with totally divergent value systems (cr~tics nd clergymen, for example) attempt to determ ine a work's relation to a third system : the law. In the following article, AI Katz gives a legal analyst's perspective on this phenomenon as it unfolded in the famous case~of He~ry Miller's Tropic of Cancer. Henry Miller wrote Tropic of Cancer in 1933 and it was published in Paris the following year-. The thitty-year lapse between original publication and the Grove Press · edition in 1961 provided qmple opportunity for both the awhor and his book to become fairly notorious. Among American and Europea11 intellectuals Miller's reputation as an artist oj some importance was well established by 1961. · but for the majority of his countrymen who were aware of him at all, Miller was considered an oddball Bohemian type who wrote dirty books. Thus when the American edition was announced, Tropic of Cancer was far- from unknown, although it was largely unread. Shortly after publication, the federal authorities announced rhat there would be no interference with the passage of the Tropic of Cancer through the mails. Within twelve months of publication, however, it was the object of legal actions in a great many local communities from the stereotypically provincial to the mythically sophisticated. T he number of trials involving Miller's book provides a unique opportunity to in vestigate the actua.l operation of the 1/shed by Roth v. nited Stat .

Immorality, a claim that a given practice is or is not consi tent with ~rally accepted · tenets of goodne , amounts to a proposal that a given practice be regarded as immoral. It i crucial to recognize that to dispute these pro on IIi und which have reference to external tandard! of JOOdo cannot be considered relevant disputation but ~n only be regarded counterproposals asking that one corpus of norm be rejected in favor of another. One cannot dispute the claims of Christian 1t19rality by reference to Hindu norms without making this sort of counterproposal. likewi , one cannot dispute the claims of abstract art by reference to the. impr ioniJts without counterproposing that the c1a:ims of ab tr ct art be rejected in favor of impres· abo sionism. Becau · the enterprises seek to establish their own criteria of judpnent, no legal tribunal can determine whether or not o~ject is art o~ the basis ~f criteria external to the enterp~se Itself, and . it would obviously not be possible for a ~ega! tribunal to dec1de whether a given practice is moral or uru~oral by reference to criteria external to the given normative sy ~m. In short, the law cannot decide either moral or ae thet1c questions without reference to the internally gener~~ norms of art or morality. J udJc~a.l administration of aesthetic and moral norms is not factlttated, however, by making the internal norms of art and morality legally relevant. It has always. been the case that ~en may disagree in the doing of art or in the const~ctio? of m.oral noqns. There are no neutral principles fac•litatmg chotec from among competing claims, only "argumen ~ore or less persuasive."· To say that in the artistic enterpnse there are proper judges but no proper judge means that t~e ~ules for the conduct of artistic controversy disvalue the pnnc1ple of finality. 1' Decisions binding on the enterprise'. always cut off avenues of pursuit, and - certainly in the doing of art -:- all a~enues of pursuit must by definition be open. Intere tmgly, th1s propo ition is itself subject to debate. · .It [T_rol!ic of Canur) seems to be alluring in a bad sense. And With thJ.S•. lf I may, that r think the talent of a man like Henry Miller a.s an arttst could be put to use in art which I believe is to make us more noble, more human, to make us IQve beauty. [Wis. 175) ln the moral enterprise too there are rules for the conduct of controversy, but with the exception of pronouncements ex cathedra it is not possible to establish the morality of any particular practice save by "arguments more or Jess persuasive." In obscenity case it is necessary t(! consult both the norms of art and the norms of 11\0rality to construct a particular work either as pornography or something else. Competing groups of experts are called upon to argue their respective po ition . The courts are then asked to · render a judgment which vindicate the intellectual value of an idea. Of course, the more complex the competing arguments, the more difficult it becomes to isolate the ideas approved from those disapproved. But in principle it is clear that when a clergyman testifies that a book is morally objectionable and therefore without value and a critic testifies that as an indictment of modem life a book has tremendous value, one possible meaning of the decision to suppress is that as an indictment of modem life the book has no value. There are two possible locations for the controversy which involves critics and clergy. The parties may disagree on whether the work in que tion is the embodiment of some serioUJ purpose rather than a mere exhibition of sexual exchanges, or one fraction may concede there was some attempt a a ~rious purpose but argue that the attempt failed in the execution. The first area of dispute has been called the difference between pornography and erotic realism, the difference between soft and hard-core pornography, and the difference between mere pornography and a work which is the product of the "pornographic imagination." These terms somewhat cloud a simply stated point. "Serious purpose" means the attempt in the work to achieve some aesthetic or moral goal independent of the sexual exchange!! described. The sexual exchanges (and their description) become, in the work, a means to some independent goal of imagination, forn:r or intellect (Fla. 155). In literary criticism "serious purpose" is used to defend a particular work against a charge of frivolousness, shallowness, point1essness, or commercialism. In judicial opinions "serious purpose'' is a conclusory label meaning tbe work in question aM. R. Kadish, ll... o,. o..t Coou ..uq U. rAe Atu (1961), pp. 150-51, 178-83, 260.

In the obscenity trial, the phr i used in questioning witne of all kind , on either ide, and m y elicit a great variety of responses, but it is clear that the trial function . of "serious purpose" i to take th material out of the po910graphy category and settle it in the world of ide (Fla. f81). Accordingly, clergymen eldom u the terms in the course of responding to questions of value. Rather, they offer descriptions of the book in term of xuality which necessarily assert the absence of any seriou purpo . On the occasions when clergymen emplo ri u purpo they do so in mor Uy evaluative term . For example, rather than te tify that the book in issue has no purpo the witne ays, "It erves no purpose in .lifting anyone . ... (l]t ta e some of the highe t thing of life and places them upon th lowe t cale" (Phila. 277). "There seems to be an intention n the part of the author to go out of hi way not to cr te a literary mastecpiece .... but .. to de ribe in iu m t shameful aspecu .... [f]his seem to be the main motive of the author" (Wis.' 72-73). Thu the clergymen, o tensibly intending to ay the book is frivolou , without intere t, actually say the bopk is serious but its point is wron or evil, or the book treatS it subject matter in an immoral w y. In short, tlie clergymen appear to distinguish the seri u from the frivolous in erms of moral evalu ti ns. For critic , on the other hand, seriousnes immediately distinguished Tropic of Cancer from pornography a a matter of critical judgment. The evaluative statemenu offered b the clergy· are countered by critical claims in term of ri u ne rather than in term of moral goodne . rilles also dra the distinction between subjecu and their treatment. An ob n subject may be chosen by an author so long as it i " being faced seriously, hone tly and with talent" (M . 26 ). ven perverse sexuality is "admi ible in seriou literature. The purpo e is wha u e is made of them and what treatment is made of them" (Syr. 252 ; Fla. 186) . The crucial difference between moralist and critic .in thi re pect i the difference between a "good" purpose (clergy) and a "serious" purpose (critic).20 "[l]t is a somewhat morbid book in the n that Do toevski is morbid), but a seriou one" (Mas . 252). In short, critics have the function - sometime n as their only function (Syr. 343) - of convincing the trier of fact that the book is serious and therefore not pornographic. Mil· ler is called a writer of "great moral riou n " (Phila. 133) who u es objectionable words in the service of a " very serious moral purpose" (Conn. 191-92). Tropic of Cancu i referred to as a totally serious boo which achieve its intention (Conn. 267-68), written with honesty and riou of purp<ise (Chi. 419). It is characterized as a didactic novel a "work whose aim it is to demonstrate the validity of a serious propo ition and argument" (Conn. 146). For other witnesses the work conveys a sen of reality with "con iderable carne tness of purpose" (Chi. 56); "it has the rina of honesty missing from books written with commercial intent" (Chi. 516-17). "The intention is always honest" (Pbila. 149). Attributing some seriou purpose to a work. does not necessarily mean that iu artistic value i first-rate or that its nonformal characterisitics (meanina, theme, etc.) are morally good. Nor does it mean that the formal characteristics (style, structure, etc.) alone establish the artistic sipificance of the work.. For the critic, serious purpose means that he is able to claim that the work's formal or nonformal characteristics or both render it a proper object of arti tic juda10 lD the Wl-"a trial a critic wu uk:ecl by the lt&IAI'a attomey wtlelher he would evaluate the aan,u ..e of a book aa aood II the author cbote aood lallluace 10 deac:ribe u act of pnyeniOil.

[Chi. 90 1 It iJ painfully clear from this rehearsal of the controversy in terms of theme that al.mo t all the witnesses. whether tifyillJ for the tate or for the book, were able to discover a theme bich, they could articulate in terms independent of sexuality. Fe were able to say the sexuality in Tropic of CG.ncu wu e plo ed u an end in itself rather than a means to ll\e independent end. If the requirement of "redeemio& tocial v.Iue" (serioUJ purpose embodied thi latter dmioction QO]y, it would have . been impossible rationally to find the boo obscene on the bas' of the evidence. But since there were witne s, md apparently courts, lawyen, and juries who interpreted the phrase "redeeming social value" as allowing J~dgments of the rightness or goodness of a philosophy o~ pomt of view, it is understandabl«; that those who disagreed Wtth or were offended by Miller's idea could find Tropic of Cancer obscene. · Th~e are so~e things be [the average reader} would be better off Wttb~ut, I thmk:, if he learned them solely and for the first time from th11 book. [Wis. 204] I1J In Great Britain and in some. American jurisdictions the e~perf: witnes in an obscenity case may be asked whether the offenstve sexual. material in the book was rtlevant to its purpose, but the wttness may not be asked whether the objectionable word or depictions were ntcessary. Elsewhere, and in the Tropic of Cancer trials I examined, the question is uni· formJy tated in terms of necessity. The difference between re~evance and nece ity iJ in the degree of justification which Wtll support the use of the objectionable words or depictions: In ei~er case the witness must refer use of the objectionable · matenal to orne purpose in the book. Mere reference to purpose is sufficient where the question is put in terms of relevance, but necessity implies the task of considering and evaluating alternatives. In the latter instance, the witness must explain what effect the use of alternative expressions would liave had on the work as a whole in terms of its formal or nonformat values. · Not an· explanations of necessity go toward justifying use ol the objectionable material. Unless he wants the book suppressed, the witne may not say the objectionable words or depictions were used to excite the reader sexually or to sell more books. The inquiry into necessity, therefore, requires discus ion of serious purpose (although a positive response to the question of necessity d~s not automatically follow from an ability to articulate some serious purpose) and making judgments of value justifying use of the bbjectionable material Thus the question of . necessity, like the question of theme, involves the witness in controversy over the conduct of art and the moral propriety of created objects (Wis. 128). The necessity controversy principally involves two possible negative re ponse to the question: the objectionable material w unnecessary because there was no purpose in the book which it could have served; the objectionable material was unneces ary because the purpose in the book could have been VAGABONDS IN FLIGHT by Gary Margolis Reneg des from light, we chase day into night, pasH nset and moonrise, skip by star swirls named for watchers of the sky.

On more than one occasion it was said that the . x and " . episodes were necessary because "they make the literary acbievcme~t complete in a way that it would not be without them" (Mass. 99; Chi. 263). Consequently tbey were "absolutely essential" (M . 101; see also Conn. 251-52). You coold~'t. ~te. it [usina lanks instead of words), becauae _the lancua IS tnlrlDSic to the meanina.

[Phila. 170]. ince the clergy witnesses generally either denied the existence of any serious purpose or deemed the purpose they found immoral, they were rarely asked and therefore seldom mponded directly to the problem of necessity. Nevertheless, la;k of necessity i often imP,licit in their expressions of d1 pprovaJ. For example, in the Philadelphia trial a Catholic critic te tified: There · oo beauty or literary value. The boot simply has 110 literary value. either in Janauap, structure or thouatJt.

When I was in the Army we c:alled such people swine. [Phila. 233-34) The witness's selection of the quoted line and his objection to it are of particular importance. The line comes in the middle of Miller' extended discu ion of Matisse, the author's conception of his art, and why that conception is preferable to the inhuman mechanics of contemporary (particularly AIDercan) civilization.211 The two paragraphs preceding the quoted line contain no other objectionable words and have nothing to do with sex, at least in the narrow sense of the word. The witn 's claim is that the line is objectionable and unnecessary to its context: To rebut this claim one must detail what is being said in the relevant passages and bow the discussion of Matisse relates to the congenital vision of Tropic of Cancer. There is · no way to argue that the line is necessary without revealing a complex of formal and nonformal relations. The task of explaining the function of any particular line, passage, or image containing objectionable words or dcpicti.o ns is no more difficult here, however, than COUEAGUE 15 �the task of explaining the value of any line or depiction taken from any good or pbor novel or poem. Indeed, in th practice of critici m . there are c untie instan e of ima claimed to be inappropriate, in the n that they do n t d what they eem to have been me nt to do.

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

"About four months ago some of my friend here decided to stop Jhcin'· this soft life I gave to them and wanted to get goin' on one of their own. I encourag d this, naturally - 1 mean, after all, they're no good to me if they aren't happy livin' here. They got to pu h on and do whatever they want.

He grinned widely and .leaned back avoring the fitness of his own idea. Thi was better than Gray bad expected. It might actuaiJy be fun- but he didn't under tand what his politics had to do with·any of it. " Mr. Eaton, when I talked with · you on the phone, you aid something about my politics being right for this job. From what you've said it doesn't sound like this is all that politically delicate." " Patience, patience. Politics don't have aU that much to do with it on the urface of things - at least not the way most think. about it.

"No, sir, no, not. at all; he wouldn't like this job at alii" "Well, anything that wouldn't do for a Goldwater Republican would probably be just right for me," Gray thought. ''Well, when can I start, Mr. Eaton?" "Just get yourself set up, boy- camera and whatever else you want and I'll get you flown out there right away. Tonight if you're ready." • "WeJJ. that's a little soon," Gray said quickly. He didn't want Eaton to think he wasn't ready, willing, able and eager for the job but he did need time to coUect his thoughts and get a cameraman. "Okay, how about tomorrow around 4:00?," Eaton said efficiently. "l'U have my private helicopter pick . you up at Kennedy." They shook hands and Eaton escorted him to the door and patted hi shoulder.

When Gray reached New York. and his apartment, the traffic had already begun its brief dinner-hour lull. It !ways happened between 6:30 and 7:00. veryone wa either at home eating boiled beef and cabbage or getting dres ed to o out for broiled lobster.

Moe .and he. had worked on several " borts" at astle Studios in the past and when Gray went freelance Moe had continued on wjlch them . .

"You'd get paid well .... "Gray hesitated. "What\ yo!i into the dirty picture racket? Je us, I ne er thougl:lt you'd be that hard up!" He laughed. "No, no, man, that's not it at all." He paused, uddenly remembering the nude old man at Eaton' place. "At least that isn't part of the deal that I know about." he continued. "Well , just what i thi deal'?

It' been a long time since ou and me tied one on - be there in half an hour." Moe hung up and Gray glanced at the clock. Twelve-fifteen, between subw y and taxi he might ju t make it . It alway eemed afer to give yourself an hour to get anywhere in thi city though. He turned the lights out and stumbled his way to the door in the darkness. Lowry's was jammed as usual this time of night. They were three deep at fhe bar and the booths were packed. urpri ingfy enough the decibel JeveJ hadn't risen yet and ttlen: was a gentle bum instead of annoying racket. Old Lowry had never let anyone talk him into a fukebox or .live band and as a result the only people who came to the bar were peop1 who wanted to talk and they generally stayed fairly sober and quiet- at least until later in the c;vening. They knew they didn't have to rush to get aU their drinking l.n by 3:00 because Lowry didn't close up as the law required.

"Hi ya. Lowry -long time no see," Gray shouted to the sweating bartender who turned and waved vaguely in the direction of the voice. Through the haze of smoke and dim lighting Gray saw Moe in a booth at the rear. He made hi way around shoulders and precariously balanced d.ri.nks. Gray touched Moe' s'botllder.

We gain a sense of varied landscape this way. ' Eric made genial conver ation and ge tured them into the dome. It was obviou ly dinner time and the room they were ushered into melled tantalizingly sweet and pungent. N6 one in the room emed e pecially to notice them; they were all avidly eating or tal.k.ing to one another. With some difficulty they found a table. Peter picked up their equiprpent, sJjnging the camera carefully over his shoulder on i carrying strap. ''I'll tak.e these over to your .room; they're just in the way here." He miled and quickly made his way between the table to the door. " It' cafeteria style," Eric said, directing them to the line of people waiting to serve themselves. " I it always this crowded?," Gray asked. "Well, lately, 'yes. We are trying to work out a way to get another cafeteria built, but debate runs rather high. Some would rather ~ crowded here and have a small movie theater in tead. Others consider movies kind of the icing on the cake. You know, rather unnecessary." From the way he said this, Gray was sure Eric was one of those very much in favor of better cafeteria service. No nonsense and no frivolities. The food was fresh and attractive. The fruits and vegetables were all grown there, Eric told them, and under his supervision. He was obviously proud and Gray COLLEAGUE 3 �and Moe murmured appropriate phrase .

Suddenly a woman detached herself (rom a group over in the comer and came toward them. She w:a tall with I ng dark hair. "Hello, my name is Phyllis. Are you gentlemen here to make the movie?" They shook hands. "Yes," Gray answered. Moe nodded. "I'm a journalist of sorts around here," she said. "Perhaps I'll have a chance tQ write you up in the local paper."

Peter and Phyllis showed Gray around briefly, then left rum to his own devices The libr~ry was well stocked with paperbacks of all kinds; Gray noticed that every genre was well represented, including a large selection of children's ·books. In the comer was a machine about the size of an electric typewriter. It was the computer connection to order any book from any library in the country. In a separate room Gray found the hardbacks; they were all reference books of one sort or another. There were art books, mathematical tables, chemistry books, encyclopedia , dictionaries, even cookbooks. As he ' walked around Gray distinctly felt something out of place. He finally put his finger on it as he turned to leave. There wasn't a librarian to check out your books or watch you. Instead, there was a li t by t he door with names of books, people wbo had removed them, and a[ter some of the names a date - obviously the d.ate the book had been returned. . Across the h_allway wu the door to the Print Shop, or' so it was cleady labelled. l11$ide, Gray found several inkstained teenagen pouring over sheets of proofs. They all said hello as he came in. "You sno'uld go to the back where the paper is being run," a red-headed girl of thirteen said. "I'm Evvie," sbe added as an afterthought, and pointed vaguely to the back of the shop . All around the room, kids work,ed; some were doing book binding and others repair of paperbacks. At the back of the shop he spotted Phyllis bending over the work of a young typesetter. ''Welcome to my second home," she said looking up. She ushered him into the newspaper printing office. The noise was unbearable and they bad to step into a tiny sound-proof cubical to hear one another. ' 'This room is where I do the headlines and some of the stories," she said. "It isn't too bad, now that we have the soundproofing up!" "So you actually put out a paper every day?," Gray asked, peering out of the booth into the busy room. "My god, no! We'd go mad! We do have all the local papers brought in each day antl once, or sometimes, if we're full of help, twice a week we bring out the community's paper. It's full of news about the people, what they're doingwho wrote what and whether the print shop has bound it yet, who painted what and where it is being displayed, how the crops are do~ng, what someone needs and can't get - and we ru.n an exchange column and general aonouncemeh.ts of community events like concerts or meetings. Combined with the .. local papers it is really quite sufficient to keep us in touch with the world and with each other." She finished with a happy smile and o(fered Gray an enormously large grape from the bunch sb dt&covered on her desk. "Old Eric, he's always leaving his latest successes around for people to taste; your orily obligation is to bother to tell him if you like it. Small price that!," she laughed, eating another piece of fbe fruit. Phyllis, Gray and Moe had lunch together in the cafeteria. Gray .looked morp carefully at the paintings and photographs on the walls around them. "Some of these are really very good, PhyiJJs. Do the artists seU them?," be asked. "Only occasionally, if the community needs money and then they are sold for exactly the amount that the community needs at tha1 moment. The rest of the time they are given away t.o anyone for the·asking. Sometimes we exchange them for books with the local library and museum, too." She sipped her coffee and turned to Moe. "How did it go this morninrr' ' ''Damn' good - better than I expected," he said laConically. ' COLL.£AGUE 5 �Phyllis hesitated a moment and seemed n the verge of another question , .

Yes, we can control the weather and make it good and, in the same way, make it what I gue you wou1d call bad. It's only bad if it interferes ith your life and you can't control it though, i n't it?

''Some people miss the unexpected excitement of changed plans that change in weather brings. Jt's only a few of the older people who feel liJc:e this though. They claim it's an old habit and it pleases them." "What do people do during the rain?" "Oh, the children go out and play in it and some people just go out and stand around upder umbrellas or in bathin suit .· There is a breeze at the same time and a wonderful freshly washed mell to .the earth." he paused.

Her cheek glowed warmly at the memory and Gray found himself smiling and enjoying her memory with her. The meeting house wa a large, green-skinned dome. Around the circumference were cubicals and offices and in the center was a huge auditorium with rows of soft seat , oncramped and colorfully upholstered. "Concerts, events liJc:e dances, or ·recitals or pi ys are put on in here a weJI as the general meeting." Phylli explained as they entered. "What about those offices?," Gray asked. "They are for the clerk and for the committees to meet in as often as they need to. There is a rotating group of people who handle our correspondence with the outside, our financial activities and such. It's such dreary work we're alw ys having to make special appeals at meeting for people to volunteer for a few weeks." "Po you always get som~ne?," Gray asked.

I somehow don't think so. There are very few of us in the community interested in such work. Those who are, are on the .staff now and work very hard. They cannot possibly do more. I would ask then that Peter's sugge tion be implemented and we all wait and see if that eases the congestion." "And if not?,'' a woman asked. "Then, if we all are to eat, we'll have to get more volunteers or have some people cook in the family units and feed several family groups a day." Carl shook his head. "In a voluntary community, we must always, al\1\'ays remember that some job , no one will want to do. Why, there are more volunteers to collect garbage than there are for the food service.

The presently ascendant Wagners are the heirs of Richard and his second wife Co ima. The pair and their progeny are a thoroughly fascinating Jot. Cosima, who died at the age of 93 in I 930, was the illegitimate daughter of Liszt and the Counte Marie d'Agoult. Married first 10 conductor Hans Von · BUlow, Co ima was one of those remarkable German ladies like Frau Lou, and Alma Mahler Werfel Oropius after her, whose lives read like good bad novels.

Grandfather' Tannhaus~rr was pre ented before King Maximilian 11 in the old )}a reuth court theatre in 1860, and a dozen yeaN later . the" compo er took up permanent re idcnce in the city. He named his Bayr.euth estate, Wahnfri d, "e cape from madness,'' and Bayreuth h .s been a W gner retreat ever since. The world-famous Festival theatre, the e tpielhnu , w begun at Bayreuth ·in 1872, and opened in 1876 with the complete king cycle. A home of the annual Bayreuth Fe tival, it is still the world's principal howca e for Wagnerian pera. The opera hou was, and largely remain , W gner' conception, built according to his phin. cou tically sophisticated (he hid the orche Ira behind a barrier that merged a.nd carpet d the sound, and, thus, subordinated it to the t, ge voice). it wa , his grandda~ghter pqints out. the first democratic opera house.

True to the spirit of '48, he built his theatre without a ro al box; all of the at , Friedelind assures,' al'e equally uncomfortable. After Wagner's de th in 1883, the theatre pa ed into the tr<>ng hands of hi widow Cosima, wQ_o replaced the gas stage light with electric and installed Europe' first cyclorama. osima wa succeed d by Wagner's son Siegfried, who begat directors Wieland and Wolfgang . . . . It ' i the late Wieland Wagner who, after the great man him elf, .looms largest in opera history and of whom Frie:d lind has the most to ay. lt wa Wieland (her older brother) who conceiyed a "new style" with which to open the Festpielhaus in 1951 . ix year after Allied victory had clo ed it. From the first, Wieland kept Bayreuth in the headlines - with his revolutionary production but al o with hi scathing remarks on Wagnerites and hi championing of lovely young singers such as A trid Vamay, wh has become synonymou with the. new Bayreuth, a~pearing in more role than any other singer in the Fe tival's hi tory, and more recently Anja ilja . But it was not hi press that made Wieland a memb r, with Brecht 11 nd Felsenstein, of what Mi Wagner call the triad of modem European mu ic theatre. Wieland utterly tran f nned Wagner. So often in traditional tagings, Wagnerian uperheroes appear, at best , to be swollen with elephantia is of the will; at worst, they are merely caricatures, V e phaliao hirle Temples stamping their feet and dern oding immortality. Wieland Wagner changed all that during the 1950' . To a po t-War generation hyper. en itive to the Fascist overtones of ClasSic Comic Wagner, he presented an alternative - a tre h, apolitical interpretation of the heroic stories. Instead of racial heroe . the Wagner personae were pre eoted by Wieland as embodiments of spiritual or, more preci ely, psychological attitudes: Siegfried was not an Ar an but one more manifestation of the univer al Hero with a thous nd faces. In performance, the director stripped b.is performers of thei:r sandal . beards, and helmets and balanced them precariously on ymbolic, often ovoid, tages that required footwork too tricky for a tanksized Brunhilde. The rite of purification perf~rme.d by Wieland was worthy of one of the Ring knights: he purged Wagnerian opera of it Nazi stin.k a nd returned it, newly viable, to the world. Never quite dead, tbe Master's work w again alive and thriving in tbi Jungian medium when Wieland died suddenly in 1966. Since his death, the Festival's ·financial reins have passed into the hands of Siegfried Wagner's widow, who seems content to serve up warmed-over productions bearing little more e 14 COLLEAGUE tb~ d but with (Contl11flt.d on f14tt 16) �Books by the Faculty bool - by " hi Jr Irving including bacteria, fun gi, and viruses.

The publication of a "classic" in 1968 is somethin of an enigma. Jn a very real sense, the book was publi bed in 1963, ince the major portion of it appeared that year in the form of a series of IBM manuals. A layman might logicaJiy ask, "ln light of the rapid technological advancements in the computer field, wouldn't material written in 1963 be obsolete by now?" It is true that many of the programming manuals written in the early 1960's are obsolete. Some of the sy tern de ign concepts developed in that period have also been uperseded. Yel, the techniques described in Management Systems are till appropriate for many organizations, particularly those organizations which are, for the first time, contemplating wide-spread business data processing application . The purpo of Management Systems, according to the authors is "to present a thorough, detailed treatment of the first tage in the life cycle of a management system- its tudy and design." Toward this end, the book is divided into four parts. Part I provides a geperal method for studying sy tern from an organizational point of view. This part also provides an overview of the three phases in the analysis of the exi ting sy tem. Part 2 covers the fi rst phase in the study and design of a system, the analysis of the existing system. Technique are described (or use in determining organizational goal , for data gathering, and for development of a management report describing the present system. Part 3 covers the second phase in the study and design of a system-the .determination of the requirements for the new system.

Education, then, as the attempt to transcend consciously and concretely the facts of life, is a valid intellectual threat to all .historical physics while schoolkeeping is its favored son. · Because education pursues the concrete understanding of why things are as they have become in order to overcome them, it is publicly lauded but · actuality denied by the politics of historical physics. On the otlter hand, schoolkeeping, that sy tematic mutilation of the senses, whose threat is quiet and aimed only at the student. the teacher, and the race, is publicly recognized and co.ndemned as an intellectually pueriJe endeavor but is in actuality supported by the politics of historical physics. .

I would like to start out with at least two a umplion : American foreign policy, where it touches upon non-white peoples in the world, ha been ingularly marked by " white imperialism" viewed in political term and "benevolent racis%' viewed in ethnic terms. The Bo er Rebellion, our Chltfese an<t Japane e xclusion Acts, our re d willingne to militarily defend the free world against communi tic aggre • sion in North Korea astd Viet Nam, but our not ready willingnes to a sume thi posture in 1961 again t ast Germany and, most recent! , again t communi t force in Czechci lovakia, are some en es in point. Our racial double tandard has been relle ted also in ur internment during World War Il of Ni i, but not our citizen of German de cent. One que tion aL o our tron.g dri e t interfere in the internal affair of uba and the Dominican Republic, but our silent acquie cence to military tyranny in Argentina and hile. Finally, ' our indefensible economic upport f the raci t regimes in Rhoalesia and uth Afric adds sub. t nee to wh t many would deny as truth. Perhaps the examples ited point up my selective and even distorted perception~. but they caB for answers hever1heless. It i my argument that our foreign policy role and posture is significantly influenced b the predominant racial complexion of the countrie with hich c are involved. We do, indeed, have a bi-parti an ra ial and ethnic foreign policy; a policy which operate f vorably f r countries mo t imilar to ourselve . that i , predominantly white, and a second which oper, te negatively for countrie whose inhabitant arc predominantly non-\ bite. A econd a umption argued in thi. paper i that merica' view of the world includes an e aggerate<.l c nception of order, defined in terms of a particularly unique national character \ e pride our elves on our youth, on our capacity t rc pond to innovati~n and rapid change. and on our racial and ethnic diversit y. ince we as ociate the e attribute with our po ition of political, military and economic trength. we tend to po it our way of life and our mode of operation as ideal for the les powerful nation in thi world . It is ~ ithin this context that order in the world i a~ociated with, such value a the free enterpri e capitali t y tern vi -avis oci:ili t economic structure ; two-pan form of g vemment, vis-a-vis one-party tate ; national ccurity through military alliance , vi -a-vi international ecurit through international organization. ince the e highly valued attribute mo t accurate! de cribc countries in the predominantly white We ter,n world. then it follow that frica. sia, Latin merica, and mo t of the Far East are ar as of the world hich repreent in our view, the greate t ources of political in t bilit and unrest. The non-white area . of the world are uniformly een as po ing the grave t threat to Jnternational order and healthy economic and ocinl development. I it any wonder then that our international foreign policy objecti and trategie so at closely parallel our ocial policies, goal and trategi home? An understanding of the effort of minorit}' group , particularly non-white minority groups, to achieve full citizen hip rights in the United tates, require orne di cu ion of the relationship between power and powerle ne . Power i a centrifugal force that propel human beings into roles where the are believed to have or, indeed. do po the right to influence or make decision which concern the lives of other . 1 Power can be absolute or relative, concentrated or diffuse, benign or de potic, di guj ed or blatant. Wh tever form power take , however, it is the salient cbaracteri tic that divid human groups into "have "and "hav~nots." into "p riah" and "chosen people," into inferior and superior caste , and into ubordinate and superordinate classes .... I need not belabor th point that American white power in 2 COLLEAGUE �Of all our ethnic groups, it ha been blacks who have required continuou le&i lative upport in order to gain acce to privil ge which accrued n turally to other peoples who arrived t the me time or ubsequently on our bores.

Me awhile, me egr began to loo\ away from the " melting pot'' into tbe re lity of exp nding, deteriorating, and depre ing black gb tto , and into the reality of certain comm n e: perienee hared by black men everywhere in the world. A rie of Pan-African congre , a crou fertilization of ide and e perience of blac in the We t Tndie , Africa, nd the United tales laid early the found tion for a black nationali t movement that had to arise not only within the United tate but where er bl ck men were still held in bond .8 6.

DuBois, Edward Wilmot Bl den, Oeo Padmore, and Marcus Garvey, the search for Ia unity be an to t.ake on in~asingly broader intemation;d dimen ion . Out of the conferen.ce of black writers meeting in Pari under the leadership . of Leopold Senghor and · others, evolved the first articulation of the concept of negritude. egritude - the expressed appreciation of the cultural, phy ical, and ·ideologi I unity common to black men everywhere - provided' at le t one f tbe touc~tones for the emer eoee of blac nationalism on an international scale. 1o 10. If one reads the black literature over the last en years, COLLEAGUE 3 ��it · 1m t impos ible to localize the bl c truggle to a ingle country or continent ( , f r example, Th~ African Pres· ~nu, proceedin of tM conference of egro writers in Paris; Richard righ ' Blac Powu; ranz Panon's Black Skin, Wh ite Ma.rlc ; J e Baldwin's Nobod Knows My Name; Th~ Crisis of the Negro Intellectual, etc.).

Finally, I think a combination of circum taoces bas produced what I would eon ider to be one of the most ignificant developmen in the cOntemporary period. I refer here to the organizational thrust of the young black intellectual revolutionists wbo form the backbone of the black student movements on college campuses across the country .... As the sociologist and hi torian look back upon the relative ea e with which succe sive waves of white immigrants have been a imilated into tbe mainstream of American life, they are confronted with the fact of the non-assimilation of American black.s. The denial of the American dream to Negroes has forced them, in the interest of their own survival, to look outside our society for p ychic support and positive role identification . We have never been accepted members of American society and few of us really believe in its possibility. In a paper delivered a year and a half ago, we summarized the national image of the Negro as follow : D pile our racial advances, the picture of the Negro, historically and traditionally, remains that of a person looked down on by the majority of white group members, especially the white Anglo-Saxon Protestant, as inferior and ocCupying an insecure position in the economic organization. The Negro, re tricted to education in a predominantly segregated school system, lacking any real force, lnftuence, or authority in the national political structure, possesses a personality marked by oppression, crippled by feelings of inferiority and frustration, and distorted by anger toward whites who seek to enhance their own social status through support of beliefs in white supremacy and through preventing the Negro's tuy participation and action in the mainstream of American life.ll Since that writing, a new administration has assumed leadership without a single black in a .key national post. On the internationpl \diplomatic scene, we have dropped from six black ambassadors (two in Europe and four in Africa) to four (one in. Europe ~d three in Africa). Although there has been a small increase in the number of Negroes enterCOLLEAGUE 5 �ing the foreign servi.ee at the ju nior level, enior grade officer (the top thr e grades) are a t a stand till wi th less than a dozen based in Washington or abroad. 12 Yet, in the face of mounting domestic racial t' nsion, no major tudy of the impact of our racial pract ices at home upon our external relali9JIS with other countries has been undertaken b any of our,tdgenci e~ with oversea missions. I was reminded of our blindnes to the corro ive and de· structive consequences C?f our racial ills for o ur foreign relations, particularly with the darker n lions abroad (and certainly not left une ploited by the predominant! white com muni t 'countries in ast-ern urope), a I watched an e terminator at work in a house where I was staying recently in the aribbean . It eemed so easy to ignore the mall canal mBI ing the pre ence of termites att acking the wooden portions of the house. They seemed so · insignificant when compared wlth t~e size of the building they were attacking and, et, to ignore · them would imperil the very foundation of the entire , truelure. We s em no t the lea t e n itive to the need for preventive maintenanc~ in coping with our national and intemation I racial and ethnic problem s. We recognize the danger ignal . but appear too pa ralyzed or indifferent to a 1. Meanwhile, . raci m continue to eat away at the very foundation of our society, threatening the stability of our n tiona! life nd c u • ing irreparable damage to our prest ige and influence abroad. 'To tho e who would ask what must we d to alter our present course of racial behavior. I offer fir t the completely npn-intellectual. un ophisti.cated answer given to thi me question by a black fre hman student t my 11-white minorities clas , "You know what you need to do. t p doing wh t you're doing. Stop treating us Hke Niggers !'' Since I suppo e some effort ought to be made to ugge t other appro'aches. ·1 hould like to propose a nece ary tep to be taken if we would postpone, if not prevent, a racial holOCI\U t in his cour. try and in other raci t countrie in the world. I think we ought to ubstantiall expand our efforts through research, legisla tion, and programmatic action to under tand the nature. extent, and con equences of racism for the survival of human ocieties and humankind . Domestically, we ought to £fee up to the fact of the iqten ity of anger and rage that exists within the black community and immediately take the neces ary steps to intelligently work to a uage it. The nger of blacks i one of long tanding and is deep-cutting. From before the Civil War to the present, the indignitie uffered by black men at the hands of white Americans have led black men to seek to separate ph ysically from the United States into a ·more receptive, hospitable environment. In 178 Free Negroes ·con ider~d returning to Africa, and, in 1815, Paul uffee, an American Negro hipbuilder, sailed to Sierra Leone with 38 Free Negroe . Later, in 1 22, Liberia was founded b Africans freed from slavery in America. Then, too, M rtin Delany in 18SO explored the po sibilities of repatriation of American Negroe into present-day Nigeria. Finally, Marcus Garvey's " Back-to-Africa" mo ement in the 1920' sought to relocate rna ses of Negroe from the United t te to Africa. ~II ?f these effo~ eloquently attest to the long-.standing di 1Llu 1onment and dtsenchantment of black in aU social trata with the ubordinate status hi torically impo d upon them in this country.' 3 Present day variants of the past efforts at separation include the expanding land holdings of the Black Mu lim and the organization of The Republic of New Africa. Thu , black people have long been angry in America, and the abatement of their anger is not yet in sight. Grie.r and Cobbs write; And or the things that need knowing, none is more important than that all blacks are angry. White Americans seem not to recognize it. They seem to think that all the trouble is caused by only a few "extremists." They ought to know better.H 6 COLLEAGUE They con Jude, '' If r ci tho tility is to ubside, a.n d if we are to avoid open conflict on a n tion I ale, inform lion i the most de pcratel needed commodity of ur tim ."111 Th kinds of inform tion that w need to h e. in the intere t f formulating und policie and pr ctice in AmeTican race rei tion • in lude aMwers t uch qu. tion a : an we obj~tiv ly determine or mea ure the will of bite AmeTiearu to abandon their long-held raci I beli f. nd p ctice in upport of the full integrc ti n of bl .ck men into Amcr'can society?

The a~avit of race a a U . . dome tic pro lem 1t1d an mtemational cri i i mm rized in a recent t tement of the In titute of Race Relation! in London: It i no longer neeessary to emphasize the importa.nc.e of race a a �dome tic issue in the United States. In Britain, too, this has become a national issue; we may still be in time to learn from American _experience; and prevent the problem reaching the gravity it has 10 the Umted States, but only if exchange of ideas is urgently sought and quickly translated into action.. · It is less generally recognized that ideas about race play a part in every major confrontation of the world today. World poverty, world hunger, world population, and the operation of aid programmes, are all affected; efforts for peace, the activities of the United Nations, the working of international agencies are frustrated by the su picion and resentments which arise from race. Failures to solve the domestic problem in the United States and Britai.n; failure to enforce the views of the United Nations in South West Africa and in Rhodesia, failure to achieve peace in Viet-Nam- all increase the sense of frustration among the developing nations . . The line between rich nations and poor and the line between white and non-white are dangerou ly near coinciding and the polarization of the world into camps divided by these lines becomes increasingly serious. In the power struggle between the United States, Ru sia, and hina, political use is made of this polarization and it is a major contribution to instability. There are influential people who speak of a ''race war" on a world scale as inevitable if not already in progress. But surely more reasonable courses are open if men apply their minds to the possibilities.'8 The linkages between disaffected blacks in the United States and their non-white allies elsewhere is at least suggested by reference to a few instances involving non-white peoples in Asia, tbe aribbean, and Africa. Ann Forre ter reports that: ... weiJ before the United States' current involvement in Viet. Nam, black me·n, meeting in 1945 at the fifth Pan-African Congress, ent Pre ident Ho Chi-Minh greetings, assuring him of their support in the Vietminh's struggle against French imperial rule.l9 It seem almost ludicrous to examine Ho Chi-Minh's present attitude towards tbe United tates, but when his second in command was asked, in an interview reported in Look magazine, about his country's postwar economic plans, he replied: We will rebuild our nation with the help of our friends. We wi1.1 invite technicians and scientists to come to Vietnam like missionarie ! and what a beautiful and noble mission! and we deserve it! 2o When asked whether North 'vietnam would invite U .S. economic cooperation and trade. the reply given was: "We are not vindictive . .. but you have asked a difficult question." 21 In my recent visit to King ton , Jamaica, a university professor, born in Trinidad, explaiJed Trinidad's refusal to promote tourism : We feel that most American tourists who would come would bring their racial prejudices with them. We stand more to lose in human relations than we would ever gain in dollars and cents. Another complaint heard frequently during my stay in the West Indies was directed at the intellectual imperialism of North American white universities. Criticism revolved around the aturation by white institutions of the University of the West Indies' research resources and facilities, without acknowledging on p. ~artnership basis the contribution made by the host country, or baring with the University of the West Indies either the final research product or credit for making the effort succe sful. When I visited Puerto Rico last Spring to explore the pos· ibilitie of joint research and faculty exchange between the University of Puerto Rico and the State University of New York at Buffalo, a university official a ked, "What do you want to do with us - destroy our identity as Puerto Ricans and make us North Americans? The best thing you can do for us is to close down the (name omitted) branch here, and leave us to ourselves." In spite of the long tradition of African students studying in the United States, the almost uniform finding of studies conducted with this population reveals that most African students COLLEAGUE 7 �experience some form of racial discriminati n durin& their stay in the U .. Indeed, with one group of African tuden studying in the Midwest, the longer they tayed in the U . ., ·the more di affected they became. When we consider the history of discrimination toward African diplom t nd other di~ui bed vi itors duri 1g their tays in thi country, coupled wtlh the documented vidence that orne of the most damaging effects upon our American-African relation derive from experience with' racially and cultur lly un ophi ticated white Americans on varying as ignments in Africa, is it any wonder that we are so disliked in Africa? Jo eph Kennedy's research findings and conclu ions five ears ago re ju t relevant today a then: Today, the entire world is caught up in a great two-pr n ed truggle - a struggle for material and human equality, The American Negro quest for civil right , the independen e of oatio world tevolutions, are a part of this larger truggle. For most counlrie the dissolution of. old alliance and the form tion of new friendhip and relation will be determined by the out orne of tbi great struggle. 1 Where this truggle takes on racial overtone , ~U it mu t in Africa (for the African, as the American Negro, h lived with minority tatu .within the concept of white uperiority and bl ck inferjority), the United States finds itself in an extremely se itive, tenuou position- much more o than the viet Union or Enaland, or any other country in the world. The United tate · the major force in the "free world.'' tanding for democra:c , individual expres ion, and human right . The United tat h the largest black population any pia e in the world outside Africa itself. Yet, the United State ha an extremely neg tive racial imag in Africa and around the world. The United tales also h the greate t racial trife any place in the world outside South Africa.22 If America is to alter the image of herseH one of the most hated nation in the world by non-white people , nothing hort . of a major transformation in her racial po ture and prioritie for international action will suffice. It is h meful that in the western world there are on! two research center - both struggling to stay alive- devoted to the worldwide problems of race and ethnicity. And I am sure th t Jo. ph Slater's comment to the effect that there i not major international race relation research center att ched to a un iversity anywhe're in the United tales has purred both the Univenity of Denver and my own univer it to try to fill thi gap.

I 967, a the culmination of a week of resistance and prote t again t the war in Vietnam, th'ousands of Americans gathered in Wa hington, D. ., for a nd "Confrontation with the W rmakers." Among the th w.as lj/froup of tudents of speech communication and their instrUctor, wlio had gone to Wa hington with mi ed m tive : to express sympathy with the gener I orientation of the marchers, and to go beyond that ymp thy to make the classroom relevant to the world . Thi article is an ccount of our experience, a description of that e perience a holar hip and pedagogy, and a discu ion of how later tudie of uch events might best be conducted. To the extent that it i an account of our experience, thi rticle i nece aril per nal. Since early September our class had been tudying the history of public addre s, concentrating on uch topic race relation , war and peace, communications, and education.t In early October, plans for the Wa hingtoo dem n· stration began· to circulate about the campu . A ugge tion that our clas go 1 to W hington to see a compl of persu • ion in action was taken up with enthu iasm, and we laid our plans. Campus org nizers had arranged for bu to take demonstrators to Wa hington late Friday night before th Saturday event. We reluctantly decided that we would prefer to be in the Capital on Friday o that we could ob rve gre ional reaction to the coming demon tration, there pa • sing up the chance of ob erving part of the audience - th detnon trators themselves. We an:ived in W hingtion I te Thursday night and spent Friday in the House nd nate chambers. We participated in the demon !ration on aturday at the Lincoln Memorial, recording what we could with note· books, tape recorder, moving picture , and till phot raph and we left Saturday evening, shortly after the first violence - unknown to us - bad erupted on the ground of the ' Pentagon.\ After our return to the Univer ity, we decided to attempt a written account of the "~o nfrontation with the Warm ers" as a communication event. We wished to concentrate on the historical contex.t in which the march bad evolved, the treatment by the ma media, the participants in the demon tration, the rhetoric of the leader • and the Congre ional re pon in the weeks before and after the event. I The action in the Capital on the weekend of October 21-22, 1967, were part of a developing set of trategie created by radical to change their ociety. Three ources em to have contributed mo t directly to the form finally taken by the demonstration . ince the early I 960's, paciti ts and other anti-war leaders had engaged in propaganda, p ive non-cooperation and interference with the country' military m · chinery. In the early period , their energie were directed again t the threat of nuclear annihilation ; in more recent ye rs Vietnam had become their major focus. A second source of in piration and example had been the civil right movement, which had developed a variety of forms of ma action from non-violent civil disobedience to near-rebellion. And finally, a source of energy and manpower was provided by the gro ing political activism among college tudents. But if it was clear from what sources the Washington Confrontation drew its life, it was not clear before, during, or after the weekend just what the action w de igned to do, or how it was to do it. The demonstrators were united in their opposition to the war, and were apparently in Washington to "do something about it." But a fundamental i ue of idoology and tactic was not resolved: Was the action primarily a rhetorical one, designed to persuade the government, public, and participants to work for an end to the war? Or was it, as some said, an act of resi tance, de igned to cripple the war effort by attacks upon the government' time and 10 COllEAGUE property? ven the labels u d to d �mined which w delivered before the m reb resorted to uch ad homintm attada. (3) The Government should take teps to uppre the march and puni h the demon trators. Th ongres i nal pec:che in th week. following the demo tration abo emph ized three categoric: of content. (I) Appr imately forty per cent of th peecbes drew attention to th violence which accomp nied the demon tration, usually attri utin it to "dirty peaceni ." (2) ongres men charged that the demonstration aided - and intended to aid - the enemy. (3) They congratulated the soldiers and other lawenforcem nt officers on doing a "fin job." pre re cdoru to the nfrootation were ambiguous.2 On the one hand, man papers and wire service report characterized the dem mtration as a rt of hippie picnic, ith Jong~halred youth leefully a mblin for a be-in at the incoln Mem rial. The eo-t:xi tent version wa that the demn tr.ali n w vi lent, and tbi viol nee stemmed from the 11 h ru of th cr wd. Th new papers poke of "cl hes bet demonstrator and authoritie ," and said th t d the demo tr tor ." ' n Who were th demomtr tor ? With what intentions did they o to W bin n? o an wer the que tion , we felt that we d t l other people about their experience in Washn.

The fi pon vocal the march i lf in amwerin thi que tion, however. All fifty d clared their conviction that the Vietnam War was imm ral hen 8!ked why they went to W hington. Their opinio about the influence of their actions - whether peraslve or coercive ere not so unanimous. More than half felt that marches have little effect on topping the war. In e plorin the p rado of why the people would attend a march believed to have ·little influence, we became aware that man to whom we were li tening had tbemselve been influenced con i erably by their experience in Washington, by the other pa.rticipan .in the Confrontation, and by the way the re tre ted by the pr , by the police, and by the dmlni tration. Mo t of th r ponden who felt that they had been affected by th march fsaid they were convinced that prote t marches are oot revolutionary enough. If a march cannot succeed as penua ion, they said, it rou t escalate to coercion. S~ce all of our interview were conducted after the Confrontation, we canno say what these participan anticipated. But their repo indicated that many were convinced by their participation that future efforts to top the war must concentrate on o truction. Complain about !anted new coverage were reiterated by responden many times during the interviews. l)lere was almo t unanimous agreement that the news media were unfair to the demonstration. Only a few of the experienced marchers - those who had participated in other anti-war demonstrations - said they expected slanted reporting; most others expre sed disillusionment. Several mentioned incidents of abuse by soldiers which they had witnessed but which the media had not reported. Many who had been the victims of tear ga mentioned the newspapers' reports that no tear gas had been used as proof of the distorted reporting. The fu ndamental objection was a little more subtle, however. The demonstrators we interviewed felt that the event was an emotional, exhilarating, "beautiful" experience which transcended i physical manife lations. They felt that the newspapers were · too concerned with beard and long hair to understand or report what the experience really meant. This statement is indicative of the respondents' complaints: "I was very disd inful about the writeups in the news media. I object to the appellations that everybody who went was a communist, fascist, or peacenik, radical, or ftowerchild. I was none of these; I was ju t a concerned person, and they ignored the fact that two or po ibly three MP's had surrendered their arms to the · demonstrators. They ignored the occurrence of that at all." As tudents of speech, we were interested in comparing our observation of the oratory at the Lincoln Memorial·witb the impressions of our interviewees. As observers, and aided by a tape recording of the speeches supplied to us by WAVA, a W hington, D.C., radio station, we concluded that oratory had little"impact on the participants i~ the march.

Willi m 1 ane and Dr. Benjamin Spock, m t nationally pr minent speakers, made emotional appe I emph iz.ing the immorality of the United tate involvement in Vietnam. Of President Johnson, Spock aid, "[He] has led u deeper and deeper into a bloody quagmire in which uncounted hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese men, women, and children have died, and thirteen thou and young American , too." Later in the speech Spock read a letter which he had received from a helicopter pilot stationed in Vietnam. The letter poke of the injustice and futility of our war effort. pock p raphrased hi reply to the soldier; then he paused and said that the reply had been returned tamped " nfirmed Deceased. ' He waited for hi words to take impact on hi listeners, and there followed only the same half-hearted applause he had received after other comments. Spock and Coffin both refrained from making pecific proposals for action. These proposal were m de by youn r speakers. Linda Morse of the tudent Mobilization Committee asked the crowd to it-in at the Pentagon to clo it down for the weekend and urged draft re i tance - "Hell No, I Won't Go!"- upon the young men listening. Sh wa cheered when she presented three, policy proposals: the war hould cease immediately, with all American troops withdrawn; the draft hould be abolished; and the Government hould end all war-oriented research on college campu the 12 COLLEAGUE �III We believe that our experience a a cl was rewarding enou h to merit further development of this type of research. We found that th field excursi n gave u a clearer perspective n the relation hlp of public addre to rna action, and also found ourselves learning much about our relation to our discipline. The trip gave us for a brief period that me n of eX£item nt wbich th others experienced at having be n so el ly involved in a large group identity. But that very involvement gave ri to une~tpected complications and insi hts. The cja members who felt most trongly about the Vi name:se wfu discovered that they had mi givings about ·•exp~ ifin " their trip for the purpo of classroom study. They felt that they might· be de troying the purity of their convictions if they reduced their experience to a term paper. mi givin , upon further an lys , g ve the class some ins bt into its own alienation from i cho n work: if scbolarip would dainag the incerity of the protest, what roo t tbat u t about our relation, as teachers and tuden , to t ex ' t ntial experience that tructures our fiv - the experience of the el room? One le n to be learned from the introduction of the "real world" into the c room is that the influence orb both ways. Not only doe our set of academic and political predispositions color our perception of the events taking place outside; those events, if they are of sufficient ignifical\ce, may begin to alter our perceptions of the cia room itself. At a purely methodological level, we were able in retropect to improve a set of techniques for collecting the data relevant to an investigation such as ours. Not knowing exactly what to expect, we fai led to do adequate planning. We felt that we should have had at least two portable tape recorders in the .fie}d, one to record the speeches and another to collect intervtew during the day. Our interv~ew data would have been tronger had we traveled to Washington on the buse with the demonstrators, so that we could collect data before, during, and after the experience. Assignment of people to collect various kinds of data seems important. Some people hould attempt to do systematic analysis of behavior, perhaps with an established list of actions to observe; others bould record unstructured observations. We found it useful to have a debriefing session with a tape recorder during out return trip. The still picture and the movie film were useful in preserving an impression of the mood of the demonstrators. We went to Washington to study what we knew would be a complex persuasive situation; what we found there was even more intricate than we had anticipated. We found that we needed a more comprehensive theoretical model to account for some of the dimensions of the rhetorical situation. 1be first dimension of the persuasion was the. oratory. It was initiated by those who organized, and who were technicaUy in COLLEAGUE 13 �charge of, the demo~ !ration. Their peech s were directed primarily at the participant . From our own e perience in li teniog to the peeches at the Lincoln Memorial and from our discu sion. with the fifty other we were con inced that as persuasion this oratory had little to do with the real purpo of thtj.rl'vent . It wa "a lot of rhetoric we've heard so many . timei before.)' To what c tent, then, i a neo-Ari totelean model u eful in criticizing it. To judge the peeche by their per uasive effect, or lack •of effect, on the li tener may be to overlook entire! the value of u h oratory . an Item tive to a king what effect the peech had, we might w 11 consider what the event would have been like if no one had spoken .

Although there were a few statements by members of the Admini tration . rl!o 1 of the oratorical re ction to the Confrontation took place in the hou e of ongre . There wa a conspicuous absence of ongre sional debate o er the merit of the march; 'no one wa willing to defend it. It is bvi u that although the radical leaders rna not have communi ted to the partici~nts. they had communicated to ongres . gre ional dove were con inced th 1 it w better n t to comment on the event at all, or to hedge defense of free expre ion with warning against radical action. ongre i nal hawks ·were glad 1 comment , nd they evident! felt th t the organizers had o alienated the public that there a n need to how restraint in their remark . But a ide from giving peeche . ongre men did nothing ab ut the onfrontation . Rather than accepting the challenge of defending the oited tate commitment in ietnam or pu hing for withdrawal, they mirr red he indignation of man citizen toward the prole ters. They gave orne speeche to voi e their indignation, and the ent back to other bu ines . The Admini !ration was · in quite a different po it ion. It wa primarily the Pre ident and hi advisor who were under attack from the prole ters. "The enemy," aid pock in hi rem rks. "j Lyndon B. John n." The re ource of the xccutive provided a number of way of rea ting to the demonstration. One way, of course, would h ve been ongre ' way - oratory. The Pre ident , hi wife. nd hi abinet did m ke some comments, but words were not deemed the be t wa to per uade the public that the dem n trator were ~ rong. In tead, the Admini tration it elf eho to u e the genre u ually thought of a belonging onl ·to prote t rs. The Pre ident u ed what Leland Griffin has c lied " body rhetoric.'' 1 Thi non-verbal rhetoric i a second dimension in the c mpl of persua ion. The Confrontation brought th u and of bodi to Wa hington witne and re i tance to the error of our Vietnam policy. The Pre ident respond d b bringing thouand of bodie - in uniform - to Wa hington witne to the danger of the prote ters. The Confrontation b twe n these two group was in thi sen e a debate nationwide, tetevi ed debate. In similar debat in the uth, civil right leaders had won becau e their opponent - white policemen - had used poor trategy in the form of bill club and cattle prods.

From my point of view, I regard this e ten. i n of educational opportunity and this loosening of admt ion pollcie both mandatory and profoundly desirable. At the me time, the cceptance of new groups of tudent h not been accomp nied to any ignilieant degree by new thinkin nd new policie with respect to its meaning for so-called educational tandard • the demand it levies for more tver form of in tructi n, and the implication it has for the wa in hieh the meaning of education may ne~srily v ry for y uth of wid ly differin background and, often, quite different objective and aspiration .

Field ignment , intern hips, and a vari~ty of w~ys of combining pra tical e perience with acad.en;uc .reflectton are too familiar to make thi development fnghtenmg as an educali nal t.rate . But cause it is related to the lncrea ing n demand on the universities to play a major part in solving some of our soul-tearing urban problems, it is likely to beCOn_te enme hed in the thorniest issues of politics and public pohcy. I have no serious objection to an institution's becoming so involved if it, including its student body, knows what it is doing and is prepared to pay the possible penalties. I have grave doubts, however, about the effectiveness with which a university can operate in this sphere without giving up its claim to absolute freedom as a social critic, concerned with heightening public awareness of the problems with which society must grapple, with providing perspectives on those problems, and with the development of the intellectual groundwork on which ound solutions to those problems can be based. In this critical sense, universities are indeed instruments of social change, and they could well devote more of their energies to learning how to play that role more tellingly. I know of no attributes of .the contemporary university, however, that identify it as a powerful political force or that promise that it can directly and by' the usual political means make a di tinctive contribution to the eradication of those virulent evils in our collective bosom of racism, poverty, and war. It can, however, make ttiat kind of contribution indirectly and on its own pecial terms by the way it conducts its own internal busines and by its impact on faculty members and, mo t importantly, on students as individuals- individuals who, a we have seen, are available in huge and ever increasing number : over even million now, and almost surely nine million by· 1980. In suggesting this kind of educational impact of vital social consequence, I am trying to reca.IJ our attention to the ta k of bringing our educational processes into phase with the whirlwind of social change that besets us and to the issue that must be seriously reconsidered if the university i to fulfill in meaningful ways its accepted responsibility to educate the new classes of students now enrolled. But I am also raising our third major i4ea - the proposition that our institutions of higher learning have allowed themselves to default on some centrally important ethical principles and have thus rendered themselves doubtful models of thoughtful and humane morality from which their students could learn significant lessons in human values and social conduct. Let me illustrate by reference to one principle and a set of examples. To my mind, the ethic of civil liberty represents the only concept that men have been able to invent for protecting themselves against the inherent and often ugly imperfections of the human condition. It is the only moral device the race has hit upon for allowing maxim um freedom for human impulses, interests, and idea to jockey each other in reasonably peaceful competition for adherents and that both permits and encourages minority attitudes and values to persist in a quest for majority support. If, as George ~1i~t once observed, "Justice is not without us as a fact but w1thm us as a great yearning," then the .ethic .of civil Jibert·ie~ defines the sole route \ by which that yearn mg may be realiZed ~nd objectified without destroying it by the means throu.gh ~htch it is sought The likelihood of more closely approxtmating a ju t pattern of human affairs is lessened when the approach lie through naked power and riot, greater when it moves through free speech, free press, free worship, free assembly, meaningful petition, th.e right of privacy, due process, and t!te other forms- not · always entirely comfortable - of SOCial relationships that emanate from the ethic of civil ~berty. At the moment this ethical position is stringently under fire. Ideologically legitimized by Herbert Marcuse's notion of repres ive tolerance an~ emotionally vitali~ by the underdog' victorie of guerrilla fighters m the thtrd world, a segment of We tern youth would scrap our Bill of Rights as outmoded liberal baggage, replacing them with a commitment to the tactics as well as to the goals of today's revolution or, COLLEAGUE 17 �one ~ften prompted to think, with nothing at all ne is enti(led- one is even obligated - to wonder why; and if one wonders opooly and hone tty enough. one i truck, I think, by the frequency · with which the ethic of civil Iibert has been violated by our major in titutions, includin our universitie .

Item: Given our vaunted concern with the right of privacy, student resentments are noteworth mainl , it eems to me, in their having been o long in the making wit h respect to the general quality of dormitory housing, t the lack of protection against unwarranted search-and-seizure procedure , to restrictioli.s or( the elf-determination of whom they m y visit and whom they may entertain in their living quarters, to the regulation of their dress and per onnl comportment. and to a ho t of other inroads on their e sentially privat conduce It is not that institutional int rference in uch matters i entirely without a basis in rea on and realit ; the point is that the mterv.ention have characteri tically been made arrogant! • a if they were based on some tran cendently authoritative right, ith neither an explanation nor an effort to enli t tudents either in the building of a distinctive community or in the safeguard ing of the university from possible harra ment by re trictive or repre ive force from the outside. s result, it has become easy to perceive the univer ity as quite willing to violate the ethic of civil liberty when it own peciat concerns 'are at all at hazard. Parenthetically, it hould be noted that few facult mem bers and certainly not many admini trativc officers have any current, intimate, and su tained awarene of the quality of life in dormitorie . Understandably, it is a trifle hard to build an accurate image of an in titution that cares when the mo t vi ible official per onnel are o preoccupied with other matters that they can't e po e themsetve to the conditions under which its largest con thuency live .

In this light, when older parent 18 C9LLEAGUE �IN ANKARA Sehit Ersan Caddesi 30!27 Cankaya, Ankara, Turkey January 26, 1969 I woke up this morning to closed drapes, to keep our Turkish neighbors from peering in our bedroom windows as they walked up the teep driveway alongside the lower three floors of our apartment house, built on a sidehill so steep that the contractor had to put treads in the concrete drive; even so, almost no one ever has courage enough to park his car down off the street. As I stretched to bring myself out of a doze, 1 wa aware, as always, of the aches and pains knotted into my pine from sleeping o the hardtack mattress laid over the springless springs. The bed is wide and ample, roomy enough for a whole family, but no amount of squirming to find a soft pot can dodge the cardboard ridges and concrete lump of matted cotton. From three stories below street level, I could plainly hear the grinding gears of an autobus, pulling up the hill from Kavaklidere, and I wondered fuzzily if another would come along two miles away across the great bowl of Ankara, lying down below in the hollows between the sawtoothed mountain peaks. Cankaya is on a hilltop well up above the smog of traffic exhau t and coal burning apartment furnace ; still ftalf asleep, I thought of last night's walk home aero the crest of the hill, and the long look across the valley at the golden lights twinkling out in houses swimming on a sea of haze. The peaked hill, far away, directly opposite us, is called AJtindag (Golden Mountain), and although it is a lum of clay hovels, at night it twinkles with lights, like a bright diamonded pyramid in the Sultan's jewel box. Hacettepe University and Hospital lie just under the base of the pyramid, and the ho pita) clinic caters to direct-staring, horny-banded men wearing the pea ant trousers cut like an undershirt flap. ping on a clo{he line, the pants-legs being the tight hang-down sleeves, and at knee level, the great ballooning-out, sagging breeches bottom, capacious enough to bide a dozen cabbages, as if boa tful of the virility of a man equipped by Allah to pleasure a dozen wives; the wives are there, too, rather dirtylooking, but in bright baggy flowered trousers fitting tight at the ankle, and gay vests hugging their breasts, and the drooping headdress-veils that the worst-looking old hags pull . across their wrinkled, pucker-mouthed faces at _the approach of a strange male, as if the mere encounter o~ e~es could s~in their cherished chastity.

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

We aee Bori.r Godunov from a dwarfed by tbe proscenium, and if we di tance of 400 yar are fortunate enouJh to own a pair of field atuaea. we see Boris' face contorted with the effort of making himself beard over the beJlt. We wak:h aU the "live" performances from a inale, tatic, d comparatively un-exciting vanta e somets. However, if we tum on a machine, here in the cheap or p a s.m all am ont to h ve meone operate the machine fo r u , we can achieve a c:ornp ble e:xperleoce from a shifting nd constantly en gin visual pe pective and hear the subtle t int n f n of V?ice or instrument with perfect clarity. I r sense , our critical faculties are ravished, seduced by d lica y, intim cy, and force of the mechanically reproduced event. The mec ni al techniques of visual and auditory reproduction ( h t we shall call "vidia") engage our attention and intere t immediately and cdmpletety by appealing to our brain imultan u 1 fhrou b the eye and the ear by offering us experiences that are unrivaled in detail and imp ct by anything s!Jon of direct participat1 n (playing the instrument , ayin tbe lin , or c:reatin the irna e ounclve .) J One reason for this ' p rticip tion ' effect il that the e.ltperience of the shifting v ta i very much like the "real life" experience of directing our attention to peciftc pee of our environment- the main difference bein that rather than choo ing what we will "pay attention to" at any iven moment, the vidia and the men who t them make the choice for us. More Sexaal Metaphors This tendency of the vidia to seduce us, to engage our interest and direct our attention immediately offers exciting but dangerou po ibilities. We may be raped with equal ease by Zeus or the Minotaur, by Bergman or Proctor & Gamble, by Serge Eisenstein or Leni Riefenstahl. This suggests, however, thilt the current pessimism about the vidja in general and television in particular is more the function of a massive failure of imagination and !lerve than it is of any cogent criticism. If the vidia are violent, repressive, trivial and boring it is not because of any inherent deficiency in their various forms, but rather because of jnherent deficiencies in the social and economic context in which the forms exist It also suggests that like a prolonged experience of bad sex, our present experience of the vidia may drive us in frustration to something better, but like the transition from "screwing" to "making love" it will require serious intro pection and effort. Economics and Art If we are to move in the direction of more meaningful experiences in the vidia, we must develop a more accurate understanding of the techniques and aesthetic possibilities of mechanical reproduction. There are two basic, inherent advantages of the vidia, one essentially economic and one aesthetic. They are often confused, and, of course, they exert a mutual effect upon each other in any finished product, but it is useful to isolate and identify them. The first and most obvious is the ability of the vidia to reproduce events that are impossible to "stage" in front of an audience and that have Jess immediate impact in literatur:e. These range from the ability to convey mental states (like the \Dternal monologue) simultaneously with vivid visual images, to the ability to reproduce "huge" events (like battles and the "miracles" in Bible films) in detail for smaJJ audiences. This is essentially an\ economic advantage. however, since the initial cost of production may be amortized over countless numbers of performances. David .O. Selmick can spend as much money on a re-creation of the Normandy Invasion as the Allies spent on the actual event, but he can charge a dollar fifty a head to see it for years, and movie tickets are easier to sell than War Bonds. The "splendor," the "cast of thousands," the "breath· talOng realism" of the vidia are essentially economic attributes which only contribute peripberaJiy to their potential artistic and human impact. 1 lD fact, Manhall McLulwt araues that the experleDce of the immediacy ud llltlmaey of tbe vldia teDd to m~e us wa11t to participate, to "do it ounelvee." I Tbe Yeno. ubmarille COLLEAGUE �"The Shifting Perspective" Early Bunuel Film nme Out The shifting vantage also tend to create a new of the pas age of time. Thi "time effect" i created p rtiall b the tendency of the vidia to focus our attention so compl tel , and part! b giving us the iUu ion that we are experiencing them in everyday situ tion . In the p ce of a few second we may be moved from detached ob rvati n to pit to anger. Our everyday experience of thi change in attitude i u uall coupled with the passage of minutes or even hours, but when e periencing the idia we comp this real time into "film time" which actually occupies only a matter of seconds. In the Old Man and The Sea, it may ool take Spencer Tracy two and a half minutes to land the fish, but our emotional shifts make us experience it as an ordeal that takes all afternoon. We move from excitement to hope, to frustration, to despair. to dogged determination, as the cuts demand, compressing our emotional time and creating the experience of the ordeal though we had moved 'voluntarily from attitude to attitude in the u ual manner. 2 COLLEAGUE �e imm diacy, th lf-evid nee of vidia events makes the f th critic d ubly difficult.

When In mar B rgman a rt that "fllm ha nothing to do with literature" * he i pealtin prim ril to the point. The impact and int re t of th vidia i intellectual, but not schematically verbal. Jn vidia, " ideas" nd "ima e " are coterminous and criti i m which viol te th t rei ti n hip i doomed from the begin in to at I t partial failure .~ "trans~ tional material" is needed in specific cases to make a narratrve coherent and under tandable. Is it possible to be presented with nothing but essential plot material and still percei~e a coherent narrative? Several kinds of genuine experimentatiOn have been undertaken already. Dati and Bunuel ~xpe~:~ented with the possibility o~ a purely psychological plot rn the Dog of Andu/usia where rmages were not intended to be linked in an ordinary visual narrative. Lester and Truffaut "disproved " the dictum that tone had to be consistent within a given work, the one by omberly exploding an atombomb in the middle of Tht Mouse That Roartd, and the otlier · with the comic cameo shots of the old woman kneeling over in the middle of the sequence of kidnapping in Shoot The Piano Playu. Probl B the am to inherent limitation when it appro ch the ab tract, the re 1m of the word. In the vidia, a tree i always a pecific tree; there are no :uch things a "rdc " or "emotlam" n the reen, only a multiplicity of ifi e ampl f idea nd emoti n , b rt of concentrating h or h in ima e of the printed word (which · certain! i l , in many ca even de irable, but be the qu tion) the vidia can only u t abstraction and deal with b tr ct concepts once rem ved.

Marnllo. I 'm So 8 red u e mentation · t that there are areas where genuine experied in the vidia. Very few of the so-caJJed "ex~rimentaJ films" that are foisted on u these days are genuine experim nts - etforts to "discover" something or "prove" somethin hitherto unknown or only suspected. A riou vidia arti t might undertake a series of experimental animated wor to te t and explore the ability of the vidia to deal with tractions and eneralized mode of thought. He might attemp a ellu.ine experiment to ascerta~ how much Tht Andalu ian Dot Another Kind of Experiment The Cino-Automat at the .Czech pavilion at Expo suggests other areas of real experimentation. At the Cino-A utomat the viewer was called upon to make decisions about the course of the plot while he was in the midst of watching a film. An experiment of this sort brings genuine "audience participation" into the mechanical context of the vidia and opens many exciting po ibilities (not the least of which is in the area of education in non-technical fielBs). Such film luminaries as Otto Preminger have already begun programs with disadvantaged urban youth in which they make films themselves, exploring the problems which are of most concern to them, such as violence, crime, and the ethics of personal relationships, while at the ame time greatly improving both their verbal and visual "literacy." An experiment has recently been carried on in Bo ton where very small children were allowed to make short films themselves to explore their psychological problems and sharpen their understandings of the world around them. There is already imPfe sive evidence which suggests that direct experience in manipulating the vidia can greatly enhance a student's ability to learn and internalize ~ven extremely' complex material. This kind of experiment blurs the distinction between "technical" experimentation and "artistic" experimentation in the vidia and has implications for the other kinds of innovation which are being undertaken in the vidia like three-dimensional reproduction (witb and without mechanical aids like glasses), miniaturization and video-tape. Films as "Books" One of the most interesting possibilities raised by the technical advances in video-tape is an alteration of the context of the vidia. Already we have seen television bring the vidia into the home and we have witnessed the tremendous impact of this change in almost all areas of our economic and social life. With the advent of inexpensive video-tape complexes we may see penonal and public libraries of "films" and men making COLLEAGUE 3 �tape with the arne ea e with which we now write letters n bout the economic a typewriter. When and i thi come pre sure on the motion picture and t levi ion industrie which up till now have tended to dictate mediocre. non-controversial content for the wide t po ible audience will in great mea ure be relieved and wc; may I k forward to an era of " lim it d interest" production for speci lized audience . If one doe not have to fill a movie house, or ell time to a spon or, it becom possible to produce work and sell them directly to the peopl · who are interested in them for "home use" on their own vid <>tape machines and thus circumvent the large t tumblin bl k in~ way, of widely diversified "quality" work in the vidla. The Knack • .. and hc>w to et il E(:onomic of Taste A few x_ears ago it wa fashionable in the m ti n pi ture indu try to make gloom predicti n about televl ion de tro in the movie . What i happening, however, i quite different. After an initial Jump in motion picture ticket ale the audiences have started to swell gain and the market within tel vision for films has expanded tremendou Jy. The film indu try has begun tentatively to move into more c ntroversial area and to explore the "limited intere t" m rket on th theory that television i now burdened with the mas audience. Films like Beckt!tt, Dr. Zhivago, Bonnie & Clyde, even Hawaii are capturi,ng audiences not ju t on their pectacle value, but be· cau e they are dealing with ubjects and idea which telev' I n can not su tain for it more hetero eneou audience. Althou h we are now hearing imilar dire prediction from both the movie and televi ion indu trie about the po ible effects of video-tape and individual ownership of prints, there is more e.videnj;e to suppo e that this new technical innovation will have a timulating effect on both, in much the arne way that the introduction of magnetic tape and the long playing n!eord has bad on the music and recording indu trie • Zorblllhe 0 4 COLLEAGUE mo �behind or with the police and the National Guard. Their foota e, then, wa almo t always from the point of view of th law enforcement officials. The audience aw the rioters advancing threateningly tow rd the camera, or retreating away from it. The attitude generated and suggested by the angles from which the shots were t ken alway were unfavorable to the riote rs-thi i not "unbia!led coverage," even if the cameraman and th new editor were atlt!mptlng to remain impartial. Thus the documentaries which are mo t succe ful and engaging are alway the ne which argue for particular point of view, like those of Riefen tahl, Flaherty, and Grierson . notb r nd of Hi o The artistic nd human succe of "propaganda" documentaries like Triumph of th~ Will. M~n of Aran, and Night Mall u ts that alth ugh the documentary may be uniquely un uited to imp rtial reporta e, it serves other ends uniquely well. Triumph of tht Will may di gu t u as n argument for Nazi fanaticism, but it reveals important evidence about the ial psych logy of the Nazi m vement and its connection with a certain kind of Hi torical Romanticism. Almost every film reveal imilar kinds of evidence about the society and people whi h produced it, and therefore documentary films mat become a central urce for other kind of social and intellectual history, in a m nner not envi ioned by their creaton. Porlc hop IIIII i certainly not an accurate document of America' involvement in the Korean War (and in all 1 ld be noted that it wa not intended a such) faim , it but it u import nt tliin bout the attitude and feelings to ard that war t t were current in th t period, and contr ted ith I ter film on the me theme like Th ~ C~nturians, it o e ivid evid nee for an evolution of attitude th t would difficult to find el e here. rogram f r the Vidla Jn light of the prevlou di!ICu ion it seem appropriate to propo a sui of pos ib)e teps which might be taken to improve the c ntext and content of the vidia. Like any form, the vidia urvive and ucceed to the extent that people e pr intelligent and seri interest in their progre and deveJopmen . introduced into the ac-ademic comI. Th vidia should munity a a legitim te . tud (and not ju t ''audiO-vi ual communic tion ..). Thi should be done a a m tter of course in any e , jm t any new er or discipline like cybernetics or urban studie become part of the academic search for relev n e od importance. but in th ca · of the vidia the task is somewhat more di ult. Many cademjc departments have attempted to " take out claim" on vidi studie without having either th technical f cilities or the breadth of intellectual concern to do th ta adequately. Ultimately, the vidia wtu continue to attract the people with talent and intere t whether or not vidia tudie are made a legitimate part of curricula or not, but the pr will be moother a.n d more coherent if con universities, scholarly journal • etc., lend "official reco it ion.. to vidia tudies in the way they have to other discipline like education, social etfare, and policy studie . There · furthe r justification for thi move in light of the fact that neral and prof iOnal training in the vidia is now difficult to obtain and is often very haphazard. An adequate academic pro ram in. the vidia hould have a imilar service function to th of boob of busine journalism, and engineering on the one lulnd. and the scholarly function of traditional dep rtmen like literature and hi tory on the other. 2. The ecoborruc and technical problem associated with the "mioiaturizat n ' of vidia production and con umption should be confronte and solved. The b ic work in thi area has been completed but the tuk of bringing "home" video-tape complexes into the market haS not yet been faced. The advantages . of inexpensive units are truly phenomenal in the areas of production of "l_imited interest" work, unlimited accessibility of works to large and small audience$, and its implications for education and the economic stimul tion of associated industries. The major stu mbling block at present is conservatism and fear in the established vidia industries of motion pictures and . televi ion. Perhaps the first step should be a careful economic and ociological study of the present vidia potential for growth and expan ion in these industries, as well as the possibility of new industries as ociated with the P.Ublic availability of small, self contained video-tape complexes. 3. Efforts to resist ce'nsorship and monopoly control of the vidia should be increased. To say this is almost fatuous , but the problems of censorship and control of the vidia are more complex and substantially different fo r the vidia than they are for the printed word, speech, drama, and other public activity. At pre ent, the cost of vidia production and even more importantly, distribution, places it almost exclusively in the hands of large syndicates ; and the economic necessity of large auaiences creates a kind of censor hip by default. If it cost as much to print magazines as it does to produce vidia works, the spectrum of printed opinion would be much smaller than it is. The pre ent efforts of "educational television" to broaden the spectrum of vidia material are laudable, but hopelessly inad~ quate. Efforts to increase the range of opinions and topics aired by non-commercial vidia broadcasters should certainly be redoubled, along with efforts to save commercial television from the grip of mediocrity and exaggerated caution. 7 4. Support should be afforded those working in the vidia in much the same way that support is offered to other .artists working in ~reas of cooperative enterprise like the drama, the dance, and live orchestral performance. The little theatres and symphonic would not survive without community support and it i ·difficult to imagine how amateur and semi-professional vidia artists are to work without similar aid and encouragement. 5. Person drawn to the creative and critical aspects of the vidia should be encouraged to pursue their interests. No one who i seriously concerned with the po sibilities of the vidia should be put off or scared away by the tremendous cost in time, energy, and money of producing works in the vidia- the artistic satisfactions and intellectual gratifications are proportional. The easiest way to reduce the difficulties of vidia production to manageable proportions is to form voluntary association with others interested in the vidia because works in the vidla are almost always, of necessity, the product of cooperative effort. It is possible, of course, to carry out a one-mao operation, but the consequent limitation in scope is almost always prohibitive. The Work Itself Finally, the vidia are important only in relation to the specific works created. If prose were limited to melodrama and pornography (as the vidia virtually are at the moment) it would be of only passing interest to the serious artist and scholar. The greatest necessity is to create works of human significance. A few vidia artists have freed themselves from the restrictions of industry control and financial necessity and have produced the works we aJI respect but the vidia are poverty stricken compared wjth the other arts. All the support and patronage of the vidia ~hdu ld be directed toward one end - the encouragement and support of young men and women to give unique and moving shape to their 'ideas and intuitions.

The latter is consonant with the principles of democracy." •on Graduate Schools: "The graduate school, which is in large part a professional school for the preparation of · college teachers, i the last citadel of refuge ~ithin the univenitie .

From Ah Address to the American Association of School Administrators, March, 1938. •On Educational Standard : "With what are educational standards concerned? They are concerned with the intellectual achievement of individuals. Educational standards are concerned with nothing else. They do not involve time; or space, however luxuriously or meagerly enclosed and encumbered; or money; or mass; or number; or organization. They involve imply the results of the stimulation, the effort, and the growth of iodividuals. Educational standards are the measures of different levels of capacity to do something, something predominantly intellectual. They measu~e nothing but the individual with respect to the capacity in question. They do not measure square feet or the years of training of somebody else with whom the individual bas been associated. Conversely any devices for mea uring these things, or for counting hours or heads or books or the size of somebody's income are not educational standards. Educational standards may be set up by in titutions, but they are not applicable to institutions. They are applicable only to persons." • From An Address to the North Central Association, March, 1931. •On Accrediting Bodies: " It should be no business of an accrediting body bow a subject is taught; whet~er by one method or another, whether in doses of sixty or six hundred hours, whether based on one set of prerequisites or another, whether by persons decorated with one section of the alphabet or with another or wearing no decorations, whether by teacher for twbom C is a note so high that they have difficulty in re~~ching it or by teachers whose total musical range embraces only A and B. Those who fabrica e standards are the only persons dealing.with higher education who dare speak with absolute assurance regarding these matters.

They constitute another stratum in the long process of sedimentation by which universitie are slowly formed, nd acquire tabilit and tradition and their individual ch racteri tics ... : to know that he has been re pon ible for depo iting one uch tratum is the admini trator's reward. if he need one other than the fun of the job."

I The Stony Brook Ca e by Micha I Zweig The second day of exams. Nobody up without pharmacologic assistance (who got through a doctoral program without it). Then zap. Cops, sirens, fla.thlight.f, the whole bad-movie sctme. The Srony Brook police stage a bed-cheek, snatch pillows and spill bookcases seeking illegal goodies and whisk the sleepy, offending students off to their local jail. Unfortunately , the Stony Brook raid was more than embarrasst'ngly bad thearre. In a flurry of post-bust paranoia, eight Stony Brook professors were calltod before a Grand Jury eager. to find out more about what go.es on campus. In the belief that crucial academic freedom issues are raised by such an investigation, the faculty have refused to appear. Since Buffalo has its heroes and a martyr or two on this front, Colleague thought you would be interested in a summary of the case to date sent to us by one of the subpoenaed profes ors, economist Michael Zweig. Obviously, the eight need financial support (these cases tend to lead to promotion and tenure onl after they have been won). Comribufions are welcome and should be sent to Professor Kenneth Abrams, Depilrtnunt of English, SUNY at Stony Brook, Stony Brook. J 1790. Malee checks payable to University Legal As.sistance Fund. All facult y members of the State University of New York and other public colleges and universities presently face a gra e threat from a Suffolk County grand jury investigation of eight faculty members at SUNY Stony Brook. The inve tigation follows the large scale pre-dawn police raid on the catnpus last January, when about 30 students were arrested on narcotics charges, but the issues raised go far beyond the politics and morality of marijuana. 10 COLLEAGIJE The local di trict attorney has a rted veraJ proposit' of f r re.aehing importance in hi attempt to force our ance before the rand jury. whirc:h an pre :ntl ft ht In a court action . i-rst i the a serf n that tat mploytd faculty members (a well a all other tate emplo ees) •re " te officers.' in some nse agent of the ate. rndly. he that s pubU officers. it i our dut and obli lion to be informe hould k.nowled of ille al ctivity by our tu en or coUeagu come to our attend n. ~ third sertion is that we have utomatic lly. if unlmowinaiy urrenckred certain con tltuti nal IIJarant under the Fifth nd FouTtecnt amendment of the U. .

A parable introduces the anthology and merits repeating. A gra hopper, who bears an uncanny resemblance · to the indi~id~al . imultaneously threatened and hopeful in the face of tn lltuttonal upheaval, was as ailed winter after winter by the savage cold. He finally turned to the wise old owl for centurie . the t.raditional provender of consulting ser~ices to the a01mal kmgdom.

The owl answered sharply, " I gave you the principle. It's up to you to work out. the det~il !"

Academia Mexicana de Gmea/ogua y Heraldica, A .C., Muico , 1968. 61 I pages. A favorite phrasemaker once remarked that American history i a function of Europe's poor police record. Certainly this hemi phere was settled by European emigrees who showed uncanny poli h in subduing the natives. Its systematic ignobility asid,, the Age of Discovery is important; it helped hape the We tern world we know today. Sheer .self-interest as well as modem chola~hip dictates that, whatever our ancestor were, we should learn more about them. An essential first step in that direction has been taken with this volume, the third in a five-part magnus opus that, when completed, will ma.ke available all the basic census-type data for an important body of these first immigrant Americans- 16th century pioneers from the 14 traditional regions of Spain. Who were the first Spanish Americans? Dr. Boyd-Bowman found that most were Andalusians, a fact reflected in the dialect of the Antilles to thi day. Dr. Boyd-Bowman comments on his index: "At the time of the 16th Century conquest and settlement of the New World, the cultural, social and linguistic rivalry among Spain's 14 traditional regions (Castile, Aragon, Galicia, Asturias, etc.) was much more pronounced than it is now. Coosiderable controversy bas raged ever since over which region or reJions of the Peninsula played decisive roles in sbaping the character . of Spanish colonial society, in ~idely separated areas of the New World, during that important formative period which eventually produced the Hispanic nations of today.

Colleague LIB-UA044 Description An account of the resource By the early 1950s, the University of Buffalo had expanded from a small group of autonomous schools into a modern university with 14 divisions and a central campus. No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

Marl<ll �and hot Through With Silver Bullets " From hitherto unpublished records, we have another strange and thrilling story of the most colorful and mysterious of all characters of the early West . The Lone Ranger. This man, whose face was never seen, whose identity was never known, rode in the early days when the West was young, blood was rich and life was cheap. Throughout the length and breadth of the Golden states in the time when men carried their hearts on their sleeve and wore their guns low, the name of the Lone Ranger and his wonder horse Silver was one that was admired and respected . No one knew from where this strange lone ranger came, and none knew where he went .... " Where he went was deep into the national consciousness. And we can also clear up the mystery of origin . The Lone Ranger was born in Buffalo - to the music of gypsy violins. Sacrilegious maybe, but documented fact. Fran Striker, a UB drop-out working as a sound effects man at WEBR radio, fathered the Masked Man while making like hoofs for a program of Hungarian gypsy music heard over the Niagara airwaves in the early 'thirties. The serial's critical first five years have been preserved in 44 volumes of vintage " Lone Ranger" scripts given to the University Libraries after Mr. Striker's death in an automobile accident in 1962. No getting your ear all prickly from trying to hear over the static , just climb the stairs to the third floor of Lockwood and niversity Archivist Shonnie Finnegan will let you enjoy the adventures of the Masked Man, 1932 to 1937 inclusive. Thi was the announcement made December 1932 over WXYZ Detroit that was to establish the primacy of the Masked Man in that West we can all see if we close our eyes: " Ladies and gentlemen : "The Jewell player directed by James Jewell now present the fir t of a new series of programs that will thrill and hold you . Stories where nature is seen ... in the Raw, and the lowest grade of manhood lives a life of utter lawlessness and recklessness. Stories of a land where life is held cheap and where the only lay.' that is regarded is the Jaw of the gun. "In tfle small communities of the West, gambling and guo fighting was an every day affair, and a man never left his house without going prepared io shoot in defense of his life at a moment's, yes, at a split second's notice. "Throughout the entire west, in those turbulent days, were circulated stories of a masked rider, a picturesque figure that performed deeds of the greatest daring. A modem Robin Hood ... seen by few, known by none. Whence he came and where he went, no one ever knew. Few men had dared to defy this Lone Ranger, and those that had, were found dead. The daring adventures of the Lone Ranger, the mystery rider, will be presented in this new series of programs." From 1932 until his last TV adventure was filmed in 1961. the Lone Ranger righted more wrongs than anybody except COLLEAGUE �~'So pure that one u pect he w I Mary Worth. lnfiniie in variety, hi ad enture. were remarkably unoriginal; thi fir t tnle w vanant f .the jumped claim gambit alread familia: to re der of dtme Westerns.

An in ere ting companJon piece to the collected radio cripts is a volume of correspondence, schedules, memos, and a hooting cript documenting the making of Republic Pictures' 1938 se.ciaJ adV'enture, "The LoneR oger." In the of shooting in Republic' studios in North Boll ood and on location in nearby Lone Pine, Stri.ker was er eonrse frequen tly consulted on such details of production as casting, characterization, and diaJogue (much o f the film was dubbed). Striker showed genuine concern that the Mystery Rider lose none of his integrity ln becoming a movie star. So he writes, "ln Episode I 0, Scene 84A. wbere the Lone Ranger is using the quirt. be sure he is not shown in a brutal or blood-thirsty manner." Gently wi th the lllsh, Kemo Sa be. The serialized adventure, an elaborate business involving a military coup in Texas, opened at neighborhood movie houses in February, 1938. Republic and Striker were both pleased. Striker's studio contact Barry Shipman wrote: "Anyway, you ... will be glad to hear 'The Lone Ranger' came in with flying colors- set a pace in organization and production that will hard press this company or any other to · live up to. "Episode One was shown to the staff before it was shipped, and the reactions to it were extremely favorable. Of course, the real answer wil1 come from the box office, but I have few misgivings in that direction. "We have dubbed ·a voice over (the Ra nger's ) dialogue that startlingly resemble the voice of the radio character, and in all his action the Lone Ranger sta nds out in heroic proportions - clean cut, manly, smooth. Silver photographed beauti. fully , and the character playing Tonto was a real find." The movie ver ion was boffo, as Striker acknowledges in a letter piquant with the usage of an earlier day: "We've just seen the first episode of the Lone Ranger, and I thoroughly agree with you t~at it is a 'wow.' " U the remaining episodes are on a par with the first, public demand should keep the Lone Ranger a nd Tonto on the screen for quite some time. It seems to me too bad that such a swell show mu t be confined to Saturday afternoon showings only. "The thought came to me that it might be big enough in some communities to warrant showing as part of. the regular program. It is certainly out of a class wi th the usual run of _ serials. If this happens you may be able to buildup a dandy feature story abou t 'the story that made the serial a fe ature.' I'll bet you Tonto steals the show." "The LpnF Ranger" was a "wow" all right . It survived the fall of radio, the decline of movies in the '50s, . the end of TV's Golden Age. The Masked.

Someday tn the not too distant future, a cultural anthropologist will set himself the task of find ing out why we are the way we are. He w.iU pile his study high with artifacts - Mad magazines with grinning "What Me Worry?" covers, training bras, Mickey Mouse watches, boxes of Cocoa Puffs and Froot Loops, a tray of assorted buttons ("Custer Died For Your Sins," "Mary Poppins Is a Junkie" ) and one small, dashboard variety American flag - red, white, and blue, and shot through with silver bullets.

"The Europeans are ahead of us, I think, in urban architecture. The trend is everywhere toward urban art - even Picasso i designing sculpture for cities. Planners and architects in Europe are listening to artists like Constant, conu1ting with them. For example, he is an aesthetic consultant to the builders of the new campus pf the University of Bochum under con truction in the Ruhr Valley of West Germany. ''Constant's conception of New Babylon is of a campus-like city of the future. He is very well read in sociological literature nd, in conceiving his city, has dealt with the problems of urban life in a highly imaginative way- transportation , for example (this as we sped by the spilling parking lot in front or Baird) . Four to six hours a day, the cars sit in the lot. In New Babylon, there is collective ownership of means of transportation . A man drives a car, or in a campus-sized New Babylon ridC? a bicycle, to his destination, leaves it and omeone ebe \then makes use of it. "Have you een the architects' sketches for the new campus? J think they tack imagination, daring. They are not geared to the future. Look what happened at Stony Brook. Have you seen Stony Brook? It's terrible. It looks like a great factory. It is a lost chance. We must not make the same mistakes here. We hould consider many alternatives, invite many artists and architect and urban designers to act as aesthetic consultants, before making an inve tment of 600 million dollars." Dismayed by the relentless ugliness of existing cities, Con tant dreams of an urban environment which does not di tort human expression. He describes his dream city in language remarkably like new campus rhetoric: "New Babylon COLLEAGUE 7 �is built up of a number of ectors (20-25 hectares) at a hei ht of some 16 metres above the ground, linking up with each other, continuing in all directi n , encompa ing the land pe; the re ult is a compreben ive metropoli girding the earth like a network.

Wben John Kennedy entered the White House in 1961, our problems confronted us within a climate of hopeful, determined expectation that they would be solved -sooner or later, bu they would be sol ed. ince the occurrence of Presi ent ennedy's sination -an act which in it5elf mirrors the dile.mma of human welfare and bum n progress - a rear ion in our hope bas taken place, a regression which ca ts our co tructive social action with a shadow of cynicism bordering on d p ir. The P ce Corps baa turned to bureaucracy, the War on Poverty to one, and the Civil Rights Movement to blood. In a state of agitated depression our nation demands from its human ervlce professions an end to despair, and the outpouring of answers which can illuminate and guide. Our response to the demand for answers bas been spectacularly weak. The social welfare field has changed only slightly since 1961. While professional schools continue to produce practitioners who serve personnel needs of our large service organizations, while the number of our professional schools and the number of graduate professional persons have increased, very little change in the basic approach to solving human problems has emerged. The competence of our field ha grown by small increments, but the problems endangering human welfare have multiplied in overwhelming volumein effect cancelling out our gains. Tile questions which challenge the social services present themselves at lightening speed and our answers are brought up at horse and buggy gait. This is not to say that we in social welfare are alone in being slow to answer. Our siSter professions- medicine, law, the clergy, nursing, city planning, education, the clinical applied sciences- are confronted with the same crisis of questions and answer . This is not to say that our brethren in the disciplines which underpin social welfare- sociology, politics, economics, psychology, anthropology, and the others -have solved some of the most crucial questions of theory and systematic research. This is not to say that our cousins in philosophy and hi tory have answered most of the basic questions of relating ends to means. Social welfare is not alone in not having kept pace between the demands made of us and our response. Company in this case is not consolation, however, and we must take responsibility for our role in both society and upiversity. Focusing ~n social welfare, we must ask ourselves: How can this be? How can it be that a profession with our exciting history, tradition of courage, ·unrivaled humanism, bas moved away from the crucial issues of the day? Many contributing factors undoubtedly could be cited. Chief among them, most analyses would bold, is the failure of social f COLLEAGUE 9 ��work. education to tran cend the immediate demand for personnel in order to focu on the upward pir I of problems and the downward piral of hope ; failure to join in collaborative relation hip!> with it i, ter professions and disciplines; failure to draw upon wide r nge of exi ling knowledge and to p c age it action p tential ; failure to generate new knowledge hich c n inform social policy and underpin social rehabilitation . J believe that our departure from the earch for basic nswer to pr blems of human welfare i a temporary lapsea time of retooling, or moving toward profe ional tatus by olidifying technical improvements. But we cannot continue to profe ion ltze lest we over-profe ionalize without point. At thi time in the tran ition of our School, we have the natural opening to shape a di tinctive direction for profe sional education, to move ahead in the search for basic an wer .

We cannot expect to produce the competent profession~ until our curriculum is loosened by plan, until it is able to operation lize the principle ·that curriculum must be built ex:ibly around the learning needs of each individual student. The individual student must be viewed as the primary unit of focu and the offerings of the academic setting must be selected by the student in conjunction with h's faculty advocate as a means to build around the student's 'background, interest, and streng1hs, elaborating the foundation he brings, deepening his per pective , extending his skills. The experimental school must be student-centered but not coursebound. Courses can be offered, but since two-hour segments run in fifteen session series are, likely to be responsive to only a fraction of student learning styles, the use of additional modes is essential. · Specifically, it is proposed that a tutorial system be estabHshe'd wherein material and experience is mediated by tutorial contact, and by the liberal use of symposia, colloquia and seminars, student led as well as faculty directed. The content of such a system and its administration must be carefully considered through faculty planning, but the intent of a studentcentered, flexible, responsive commitment is deemed to be of highest importance. · Second, the professional education enterprise accords very little responsibility to each tudent for his own education. From the time he begins his education he is by and large "spoon fed," served up an educational fare which he is required to digest generally without deviation and with a minimum of his participation in the determination of emphases, material, sources, and teachers. Experimentation in social welfare education will place a premium on independent thinking and exploration by students. An individual student will be not only responsible for . the partial genesis .o f his education, for adopting patterns of independent Inquiry and critical thinking, but in addition be will be held rigorously accountable for his. performance. Students must be treated· as partners in the educational process rather than as subordinates or passive consumers. And above all, students must be regarded as adults with experience to bolster their education rather than as fledglings whose best interests must be constantly held in the hands of the faculty on the premise that student experience is not sufficient. In short, the education;ll process cannot treat its students as infants for the result can be a kind of blind conformity which acts to dull innovative creativity. ' Third, in focusing on services, professional education has often emphasized techniques within the context of organizational functioning rather than on. the problems whi.c h commend and justify professional education in the first place. In short, pr~fessional schools become attuned to training within the context of the personnel needs of service organizations. This often means that areas whlch fall petween service agencies are overlooked, on the one hand, and on the other that students are socialized early to trunk in bureaucratic terms. What is needed in an educational enterprise which aspires to leadership through experimentation is an approach which focuses on the solving of problems and views organizations as instruments which can facilitate those solutions. Organizations must serve as the means for rather than as the constraints to pJoblem-solving. Our educational enterprise must be built around significant problem complexes which threaten human welfare rather than divided into service fields characterized by commonality organizational functioning. Moreover, the School must pick the most significant problems confronting our society and build its edu.c ationat process around them rather than upon areas and issues of secondary or lesser s{gnificance. Fourth, the professional educational enterprise in most cases . has abandoned an intellectual base in favor of a technical and practical base. This is not to say that techni'l:'les and practices are unimportant. C)early, they are of utmost IDlportance. They constitute our distinctive contribution to social science, a social science whlch is usually unable to move from ideas to · actions from intentions to applications. : But ~nLil our intellectual foundations can be built in such a way that tbey become supportive of and informing to tech- tf COLLEAGUE 11 �.nical craftsmanship, the chances of error in practice are exceedingly great and techniques tend to become ritu 1 carried on with~t the perspective granted by solid foundations of theory an,d' empiri~al re earcb. The operational principle needed here is this: we must move to incorporate in decisive and planful w y f-aculty members and students who will build and elaborate an intelle tual foundation which wiJJ effectively serve the ends of the experimental school. And we must structure our curriculum to enhance the ideas which nowish our feelings for the human condition and our commitmentS to its improvement. Fifth, most schools view and utilize research as a topic apart from the technical and practical aspects of education. It i c;ither a ritual appendage or an e oteric activity. However, if experimentation is to be truly responsible research must be harnessed' to den'ionstratio~ and development with :imagination and vigor in ·order to .ascertain what we do right and what we do wrong; in order to monitor the process of training and service; and in order to generate new knowledge about the crucial i sues which we addre s in order to solve. In order to accomplish this. research must be integrated an instrumental practice and focus upon both the problem to be solved by practice and the process of practice itself. To thi end we must significantly improve our re earch and development re ources and we must barnes tho resource in uch a way that they become integral to ·problem olving rather than tangential to it. Sixth, the profe sional educational enterpri e i frequent! characterized by several de facto chools with everal perspectives operating under a single adminjstratlve wing. The major divisions, which actually can be de cribed a epar te school , often ar~ built along practice emphases: casework, group work, community organization. In ome ca e combinations are made and united into ''two tracks" or "direct service and indirect services." Thus, · ome schools have found that it i possible to accommodate two separate school under one roof instead of three. Separate schools are also created by widening divi ions among level , so that an undergraduate school, a ma ter' degree or professional school, and a doctoral chool run their separate ways with their separate faculties and their eparate emphases. No experimental undertaking can be successful if it i divided into sub-units occupying different perspectives, incentiyes or interests. It is. therefore, essential that unity of the educational process be achieved. and that every effort be made to transcend false issues of orientation .... The operational principle here is this: we must educate social workers, not ca eworJcers, group workers or community workers. We must bury the subcultures of the p st and get on with the job of educating students for con tructive intervention with bio-personality systems, r tricted interaction ystem , organizational sy tems, community s tems, and social institutions. While particular knowledge and kills of intervention at these various levels may occupy a given student's interests and dispositions, it is necessary that each student have a basic understanding of intervention at other systems' levels and it is necessary that all levels of intervention be focused around concrete problem complexes. Seventh most schools of social work are isolated units within their universities relating only marginally and administratively to the university community. This isol tion is basically antithetical to the development of intellectual foundation , expertise, and the tbeo.ry and research underpinnings of practice. This isolation is eve:n greater when inter-university relations are considered. While the resources and exciting potentials of inter-university exchange programs have long existed, social welfare schools frequently ·have ignored them. High among the operating principles of an experimental school must be the establishment of inter-departmental inter12 COLLEAGUE chan of both fa.c ulty and eourse3; joint appointments a rout.in matter; course-mixin of atuden in both cl and field work; the devel pment of j lnt library resources; the shared u e of I bo tory reSOUTcc nd information.

As matter of reaul r pNt ti e. therefor , the experimental chool hould eek rotation of dutie. on th , part of facult y.

As Bi Cirocco puts it: Lost in tbe Fonhouse - Fiction for Print, Tape, and Live Yoice - by John Barth, professor, English. Doubleday cl Company, Inc., 1968. 201 pages. Thi~ collection, or "series," of short fictions is Barth's first ma_1or work to appear since publicat_ion of his huge allegorical satlfe on campus life Giles Goat-Boy, now everywbe.re in ·paperback. Commentators on new American fiction have been fond of dividing Barth's pre-Funhouse output, two spare .little novels with her~ who sha~e a . penchant for menage and a pair of pr awhng pseudo·h1st0nes that give full play to Barth's remarkable rhetorical gifts, into two periods. This one defies that easy cla sification and suggests Barth is off and running in several new directions at once. "Exactly what we were not expecting" was the way the. Tl'mes reviewer summed up for everybody. Surprising, si, revolutionary, well.... One reviewer's calling Barth the Che Guevara of American letters seemed. a bit much ~though .in Fun house be does subvert things like the epic: literary h1gh seriousness, and the formal conventions of fiction. There are unsettling lines hlc.e "Helen of Troy is going to be a grandmother!" There are also literary sight gags, multiple quota tion marks, for example, which are meaningful to the reader of saintlike patience but are also there because these are "Fa bles For People Who Can Hear With Their Eyes." The 14 pieces including an introductory Moebius strip, are meant for many .media, including pri,nt, tape, and authorial voice (audio tapes of (be last were originally to be part of the Doubleday p,a.ckage but the idea was dropped as too gimmicky; local audiences have been lucky enough 'to hear the authorial voice in readings of "Menelaiad," composed for "printed voice," and "Autobiography" for "monophonic tape and visible but silent · author''). In reality, Lost in the Funhouse is more linear than its comi>on, more Joycean than MeLuhanesque, or perhaps as Joycean as McLuhan lately admi.t.s to be. The themes are familiar ones, coming of age, the natu re of fiction and the , creative act, the double - mask and anti-mask, reality and illusion. Important to the pieces taken as a whole is manipulation of that "authorial ,voice," speaking out of many faces: Ambrose; the embattled Siamese twin of "Petition," who is engaged in a life ao.d death struggle with his mirror image; and the disembodied Meneleus who says, "This isn't the voice of Meneleus; this voice is Meneleus, all there is of him. When I'm switched on-1 tell my tale .... " There was some critical grumbling that this book is a technical exercise: Bfu:th seems to have anticipated that. He makes no apologie for publishing experimental wori in which medium is given as much prominence as message: "My feeling about technique in art is that it has about the same value .u technique in love-making.

Social Welfare: ModeUng a Curriculum to Meet Human N~eds (Con tin.ued from page 12) would serve as the chief collaborator with that student, assisting the preparation of his study in the core curriculum and coordinating hi multiple academic experiences. Short time, high intensity teaching segments ~ such as seminars, symposia and colloquia - would be featured along with directed readings and tutorial di cussions. Most courses would be electives and only the most crucial few would be required of aU students. Training-research concentrations are conceived to be a cluster of faculty, students, courses offered within the School and el ewbere in the University, symposia, field experiences and re earch emphases - all built around major sacial problems. The choice of problems wouTd be a matter for analysis and planning, but poverty, racism, illness and disability, crjme and delinquency, manpower, peace and justice are a few examples. Special topics such as the church and welfare, ~el­ fare law and the politics of social welfare could be cited as concentrations as well. All levels of intervention would be taught and practiced in aU concentrations, and a tutcrrial system would be operative within each ·o f the concentrations. A student would be permHted to choose a concentration after demonstrating core curriculum proficiency. He might continue both years in the conCentration of his original cboi.ce or he could choose two different concentrations during his professional education. Each training-research concentration would have a wide range of options and great latitude in the conduct of its work. Field experience would be coordinated with didactic experience within each concentration. Research would be similarly integrated. The supportive services unit is conceived to be the major instrument of management a.nd facilitation of the experimental chool. Dealing with admission!! and student progress, management o.f field stations in this country and abroad, curriculum evaluation. technical assista nce to agencies and communities research, demonstration and evaluation, media utilization and information services, the supportive services unit would serve to implement the educational enterprise. These general proposals. components of the experimental school, constitute the foci of three School development commissions. The commissions would extend and elaborate the content of these components. Three additional commissions would be concerned with students, community relations, grants and projects .... ' One may correctly ask: if this posture, ... if these principles and proposals were put into a pot, properly stirred and baked, would a new era of hope emerge? believe that the essential beginnings of that era would be , forthcoming. A small start, but one with large meaning. Given the imperfections of ourselves and our state of knowledge, certain~¥ we must antici pate failures, disruptions, frustrations. But we also must note that our motivation for social justice and the development of human resources cannot lie solely within the objective calculation of cost and benefit, success and failure. Tbe motive force must lie abo within the sphere of a sense of mission, of a cardinal act of faith that human ends are worthwhile, that faith will be rewarded, that perseverance in the name of humanity is in itself right and good. . If such a sense of mission will be implemented in a time of faltering hope, in a time of immense questioning, we shall unearth obstacle but we shall also be thrust ahead into an immersion of opportunities. By avamng ou.rselves ~f. those opportunities we not only increase our potential for a1dmg tbe human condition, but we also justify and satisfy and lend meaning to our own lives in the emerging history of this turbulent, changing world.

Colleague LIB-UA044 Description An account of the resource By the early 1950s, the University of Buffalo had expanded from a small group of autonomous schools into a modern university with 14 divisions and a central campus. No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

The root causes of poetry have been studied and studied. And now that we know that pockets of poetry still exist in our great country, especially in the large urban centers, we ought to be able to wash it out totally in one generation, if we put our back.r into it. (Snow White, Donald Barthelme) Out fi~ting the Great Bleach are the Black separatists, non-militants who aren't paying the majority the homage of so much a an "Up Charlie's," and a few students of AfroAmerican life who are exploring the incredibly rich culture of the ghetto with tape-recorders and R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Charles Keil, in Buffalo to help shape the University's American studies program, falls into sub-group three. Because the people in the bookstore make it a practice to stock books by new faculty, .his Urban Blues preceded him to campus by several months. In a way that LeRoi Jones' Blues People is not, it's a very personal, non-ideological study of one of the major forms of Afro-American musical expression . In Keil's hands, the blues, the urban blues, are flint for a dazzle of insights about music, culture, role, language. And along with the scholarship is abu ndant evidence that the author is engaged . Right from tlte prefatory note: "All but a few paragraphs of this book were written before Watts and before our war against the Vietnamese. Any optimistic passages may be forgiven, laughed off or cried over accordingly. C.K ." The reader of Urban Blues gets no lengthy disquisition on how the song sung over the yam pile became music to pick cotton by or even a nostalgic analysis of the technique of Blind Lemon Jefferson . "If we are ever to understand what urban Negro culture is all about, we had best view entertainers and hustler~ ~ culture heroes - integral parts of the whole - rather than as deviants or shadow figures," J(eil writes. To illustrate that thesis he c.hose real-life culture heroes not Alan Lomax ones. Urban blues are sung by such as B.B. King and Bobby Bland, household names in the Masten District perhaps, but face it, baby, you thought B.B. King sang country & Western. '-. . . The Green Flo~er was the place to go ... . Remember it was so crowded, we had to dance back to back, belly to · belly, side to side, inside your coat, 11nder your hat; just so long as we could keep on dancing, do it up brown. Two or three pttople might have been wedged in between us, but who cared as long as we all kept the place swinging. Ray Charles was just beginning to be the man in New York. How many times was there a scene started by some weird drunk's mumbling that he had had too much of Having a Woman Away 'Cross Town? (The Flagellants, Carlene Hatcher Polite) COLLEAGUE 1 �In his mind, Keil drew comparisons between the two King one preaching To write Urban Blues, Keil interviewed the blue men in their dressing rooms, talked with their A & R (arrangement and repertoire) men, soaked up local color at the A hi nd Auditorium a nd the Chicago studios of Ches Record . Keep in mind that the instrument through which these data pa sed grew up in Darien, Connecticut, the WA P capit I of the world, and went to Yale. And he' allowed the ten ion that's implicit in being a White man in love with Black culture to show through in his book . • B.B. King Backstage Whila, more than two hundred thousand Black meric n assembled in Washington to claim their long-anticipated freedom one hot August afternoon not long ago, a vi itor sat uth ide backstage at the Regal Theatre on Chicago' eagerly looking forward to an encounter with B.B. King, pos ibly the best of the big name blues singers. Before going to the Regal I had been watching another King on TV as he stirr'ed the throng of marchers with hi final appeals. Now as I waited for B. B. to come off stage I began to draw comparison in my mind between the two King - the preacher and the blue man - both leaders in their re pective fields, both eloquent pokesmen for their people. both from the Deep uth . Recalling Martin Luther King' effective oratory and the artistic devices he u ed to stretch out and strengthen his delivery, I was truck by tbe tyli tic common denominator that binds the acred and eculnr realm of the two King into one cultural unit. The preacher u ed two phra es over and over again as be improvi ed the conclusion of hi addres , " Let freedom ring from ... " followed each time by a different range of American mount ins, and then " l have dream ... that omeday ... " u ed to introduce each item on the list of promi es to the Negro that have yet to be kept. This relentles repetition of phrase , the li ting of American landmark and the long enumeration of Negro goal , gradually moved the audience to an emotional peak, a fitting climax to a tirring demonstration. Employing a standard twelve-bar blues form, repeated over and over again in song after ong, turning out well-known phra e in every chorus yet always introducing novel combinations and subtle new twi ts in each performance - in short, using the same patterns - B.B. King rarely fail to give his 1i teners much the arne kind of emotional lift. (Urban Blues) • • • 2 COllEAGUE I finished Urban Blue.f ten minutes before meeting Keil in ooke H II on a h t, rainy Frid y. ribbl II over my Phoeni edition reminded me th t I wanted to It qu ti M uch a "Wh t wa the influence of Bluu People on this book?" (An wer: il ; Urban Blues wa oriain Uy written as a th i for a niversity of hica o ma ter's degree in cuJ.. tural anthropol gy, mpleted before Jone ' book ppeared) . It didn't go like th t. ir t of all, Cooke thi particular hot, rainy Frida wa filled with Black kid drinking beer and li tening to urban blues on the I un e record player and half dancing and looking each other over hich is what urban blues i all bout and which alw rna e academic qu ri bout influence pretl irrelev nt. We t lked. He t lked mo tly and I nodded a I t, coveting hi half-drunk bottle of Koch'1 a nd taking notes. We t around to American tudi . ric Larr bee, prov t of arts and letters, h d been ing ood thin about the p pee of the program under wrence Chi lm. " ultu:ral" and "provocative" were the djectiv the offici 1 new relea had u d ; 1 h d al~ heard that th pr gram hoped to avoid the dilett nte pllf II while being inlerdisciplin ry. A Keil tells it, the Americ n tud1e pro r m will ttempt to be international m cope with smAll centers in Asia, . The Africa. nd the Middle t pl nned for th fut program will enroll a I rge number·of non-Western studen a well. The intern ti nal bu iness seemed a bit far afield until I rulized that thi program wa n't oin to get hunaup on it I bel, that a cr -cultural emph i not simply relevant to American studies, il' critical. "We will train ps cbolog· ts. hi torian ; etc., in another culture and then encourage them to reapply what they have learned in the field to Americ n life. This 'nd of experience will act a a corrective to the raci t, ethnocentric position of most American tudent in their own culture. We hope to give them cultural levera . " The empha · on cultural anthropolo can also be seen a corrective- to the cienti m that characterizes so many of the social ciences. "P ycholo&Y nd sociolo&Y have opted for numerical preci ion and irrelevance," be says. and then it's at le t half true and beautifully said. laugh becau He ack.oowled that a pro m of this nature requires a tremendous amount of cooperati n among the Universit departments involved and that one of its first tas will be �of the Promi ed Land the other singing the blues at the Ashland ... building bridg between di cipline already on campu . Another high-priority goal i the buildin up of an archive of films, t pe , and written materials documenting the field. More important are the program' long-range goals, notably educational reform , Keil says. ven in the present world situation, where daily coUisions with other cultures make our p rticular brand of chauvini m les and less tenable, we continue to educate our children uniculturally. His illustration of a multicultural approach - the introduction of hinese tudie in kinder rten - makes the point on a couple of levels. Thi i prob bly all too late, he admits. Keil on other things. Amnlca today "Jf McCarthy or McGovern or someone with views imilar to the late Robert Kennedy's isn't nominated by the Democrats, 111 go North . I think. that with people like LBJ and his merry pran ters in control, protest can only accelerate the Fascist trend." He mentioned emigrating to Greece (his wife Angelike is Greek) , where be h done field work on the Greek styli tic equivaJent of urban blues. I made a face that aid, "Now that's Fasci m," nd he replied to it . "1 much prefer the Old World Fasci m to the New World variety. I think you mu mea ure the two in term of the blood they have pilled-U.S. troops pill more in Vietnam in a day than the Colonels have pilled ince their coup. Besides the Greeks have a healthy skeptic' m about everything they read or hear about the government. Most American are victim of incredibly skillful news m nagement. Going away gives you time to work against the kind of government that produces a Vietnam or a Czechoslovakia." (Jimmy Breslin wrote in a recent article in N~w York magazine that the compromise that John Lindsay had to make in order to be con idered for the Republican VP lot and that resulted in hi seconding the choice of Spiro AJDeW i what's wrong with America . What's wrong with America is the kind of inarticulate pressure that makes you hesitate before quoting Charles KeiJ.) Jazz. Keil ~nt his ummers during college playing drums with jazz groups in Europe - he now plays bas . The East Co t' mu ic scene is dominated by the jazz ethos, he says. Even LeRoi Jones loo at blues people from a perspective laraely shaped by jazz. His own naivete about blues as opposed to jazz was a great help in writing Urban Blues. "If someone starts to talk about Coltrane, I have 50 observations of my own to make. But when I fir t began gathering reactions to B.B. King, say, I listened without any preconceptions. I was fresh." The mosaic technique of McLulwn He lists McLuhan among his "quasi-ancestors, kindred spirits . . . who have stirred my imagination, shaped my interests, and either shifted or intensified my direction." (Othe(s include Kenneth Roberts, Jack London, Lawrence Chisolm, Neitzcbe, Thoreau, Levi-Strauss, Kenneth Burke, and Malcolm X .) It's to Burke, with his incredible tangle of footnotes , anecdotes, and fragments, that Keil credits the mosaic style that McLuhan's popularized. (He'd like to try a nonlinear dissertation.) Aretlta A footnote in Urban Blues reads: "Aretba Franklin is great and manages to sound like Aretha even when she is trying to be Patti Page or Nancy Wilson." He also makes a connection between Aretha's use of melisma, that most McLuhanesque of blues tricks, the singing of more than one note per lyric syllable, and her designation, Lady Soul. We talked about Aretha's recent popularity among White li teners, and he hypothesized. Miss Franklin bas a new A & R man, one who keeps in check her desire to be Dionne Warwick and insures that her cuts will bear a personal stamp. And like Ray Charles, she shares a somewhat marginal position in the blues world - she is highly motivated to achieve and shows considerable ambivalence about her position as a Black woman in a predominantly White world. He also thinks there may be a covert protest element in her work. The standard Franklin situation is that of a woman asking her lover for respect, R-E-S-P-E--C-T, a song a lot of soul brothers have been singing lately. Biafra K~il spent the Summer of 1960 in what is now Biafra on "a eommunity work project. H e and his wife were in Africa in 1965-67 studying music and aesthetics in Tivland and Ibadan (Yoruba ·country) , both in Nigeria. They left because of the pogroms against the lbos going on even then all over the African nation. 1 "The Nigerian government is two coups away from any sort of legitimacy. The horrifying thing about Biafra is that it's the second example of appeasement and genocide in our century. And this time no one claim that they didn't know what was happening. If the Nigerians are allowed to succeed, I don't think any minority group in any nation will be safe." P.W.

In the area of compe-n tory education. many reason have been sugge ted for the schools' failing. Fir t. most compen a tor~ programs have taken a tr dition, I approach empha izing: I) moditic tion in cl sroom grouping ; 2) new materials: 3 l lower pupil-teacher ratio~; 4) remedial reading; 5) team te ching: 6) teaching machine ; 7) educational T .\' .. and ) programmed in truction.

Teachers for inner-cit schools are lm impossible to find. dl '. educators can't figure out whom to bl me for their nor being a Je to teach these childi"en, so ofte.n the children �and their parent are bl, med . A an alternative to that approach, ma y I ugge t some vital, pragmatic areas which we mu I con ider 1f we are to succe fully educate the disadvantaged : Fir t. the di advantaged child's community and peer ub-culture a it is played out in the classroom, and the appropriate staff and school plant and organizational structu res to meet the educational need of thi child. Secondly, th credo for education that recognizes the teacher and his person lity a the prime and indispen able change agent in the teaching-learning proces . Thirdly, the belief that we can educ te children by providing model for emulation and 1dentUic tion. Fourth , the realization that almost all children test their te chers g inst the child' cultura l {r me of reference. And , I<U t, should we try to attract a different type of person into teaching while discontinuing the services of those teacher and a mini trators who. through their own fears and prejudice , provoke the children? In Americ , the p thology of the Negro urb n slum developed over long years and with many ecological pattern ch nges. The Jum culture provides Negro disadvantaged children with "frame of reference" or code of behavior th t i different from that of the domin nt culture. Briefly, the di dvanta ed child's lower-cia life i violent, hostile, aggr ive, anx.i us, and unstable. Often, he turns hi ggres ion on himself, hi peers, and authority figures. He le rns to fight for everything; be learns "might make right." A child, hi discipline tends to be physical, custodial, with threats and punishment, r ther than p ychological. If ou have read I ude Brown's Manchild in the Promised lAnd nd Piri bomas' Down There Mean Struts, which deal with growing up in H rlem nd panisb Harlem, you will recall how, time a nd time again, the authors make the ~e point. In the ghetto, to make your reputation and not uccumb, you bad to act "crazy," to prove your elf with our fist . Brown writes, "Fighting was the thing that people concentrated on. Jn our childhood, we all had to make our reputations in the neighborhood. Then we'd spend the rest of our live li ing up to them. A man was respected on the b i of hi reputation. The people in the neighborhood whom everybody looked up to were the cats who killed somebody. The little boys in the neighborhood whom the adults respected were little boy who didn't let anybody mes with them.'' Also, " It emed as though if I bad stayed in Harlem all my life, I might never have known that there was anything else in life other than sex., religion , and violence." And tho e familiar with Greene and Ryan' The Schoolchildren: Growing up in the Slums, Kohl' 36 Children, Le Roi Jones' off-Broadway production of The Toiltt, the recent T .V. special, The Way It Is (which depicted the N.Y.U .-Jr. High School fiasco in Brooklyn) , or those who have worked in an inner-city school, have re d, experienced, or observed this kind of continual physical activity. Tennenbaunls "The Teacher, The Middle Class, The Lower Clas •: describes bow one house of lower-class inhabitants unknowingly terrified an entire block of middle-class families on the West side of Manhat~n : "Boy and girls mix.ed and it w difficult to think of them as single, individual children . They bouted, they screamed, they pushed, they fought. In the midst of play, they would suddenly get into individual fights and collective tights. Violence, aggres.sion, play, and friendlin eemed all mix.ed up. Every wall on the block was u ed, either to play ball on or to throw things at. The treets became cluttered with debris, especially broken glass . . . . What frightened them, was the violent, hostile way in which lower-cia families found their amusement. An almost palpable atmo pbere of aggre ion and violence hovered over the street. The children would attack an automobile - literally attack it, as locusts attack a peld, climb on top of it, get inside, I and by combined, cooperative efforts shake and tug until t~ey left it a wreck . . .. Even their innocent, friendly play was VIolent. Suddenly, strong, tall, gangling, adolescent boys would da h pellmell down the street, like stampeding cattle, shrieking and screaming, pushing, shoving, mauling each other .... Like my neighbors, teachers remain in a perpetual state of fear of these children, at their acting out, their defiance of discipline, their destructiveness and vandalism .... Many teachers feel trapped, frightened, helpless." · J'U pose a question to you. If you accept the credo that: I ) almost all children test their teachers against their own cultural frames of reference; and that 2) we can educate by providing a model for identification and emulation, then what kind of a teacher do these youngsters need? I think the term " physical prowess" must be reflected in your answer. You may aigue that our entire society is becoming violent. There is a difference, however, between the violence of the middle class and that of the lower class. For those · in the middle or upper classes, violence is experienced vicariously, safely, and at a distance by the half hour or hour from movies, T.V. reporting of the Vietnam conflict, and Sunday afternoon professional football . For many disadvantaged children, violence is a way of life. It is ·very real; to cope with it is to survive. Therefore, when the disadvantaged child goes into his "crazy bag" and does his "thing," teachers and administrators are confronted with what they perceive as the reality of violence. And, most often, they panic. And often the youngster is just as frightened as they. According to Kvaraceus and Miller such norm-violating behavior "reflects a syndrome crystallized around strong dependency craving," and is a test of the school authorities' ability to meet 'the child's need for "being controlled.'' The youngster hopes that these "so-called" adult can control him without hurting him. At some level, the child may even be testing the ability of those in authority to provide him with the skills necessary to make it out of the slums. (Teachers should remember, too, that most often the parents of the disadvantaged child expect the teacher to educate and, if necessary, to discipline the child.) Sadly, as Silberman points out, Whites have additional problems, for Negroes have discovered the "power to intimidate - not by violence - but by their very presence .... And, as Negroes began to sense this, their own attitude changed; one need not fear- and certainly not respect- the mao who fears you.'' The "Black Power" image reflects this, and certainly the Negro slum child senses it, too. As for the Blaclc teaclJer, he has his own problems in relating to lower-class Black children. At this point, I would like. to raise a few questions. How can we educate our teachers to understand that through a primarily non-verbal approach, the teacher, by the way be walks, dresses, structures and organizes his day, arranges his room, smiles, and reacts to a crisis situation, transmits his sense of security to his students? When a teacher is able to communicate inner security, his classroom discipline is neither too rigid nor too permissive. His room is disciplined, safe, and secure for all children so that "they may relax and allow themselves to be motivated to learn.'' Secondly, how do we teach what to do when "push comes to shove"? How can we educate middle and upper-class teachers not to panic because of their fear of a violent child, when it is normal for an adult to fear an aggressive child? How can we educate school personnel to feel as secure and unruffled with the realities of violence as does any middle-line backer? How can we teach them not to panic if a child runs down the ball with a broken bottle in his hand, or two children get into a fight with' pipes or fists? Or, as happened in a large city school recently, 1,300 junior high school students walked the halls and refused to go to class, or 150 COLLEAGUE 5 ��high ch I tudents became obstreperou when they couldn 't get in to watch a ba ketball g me? You'll notice, I didn't uy that the teacher houldn 't become frightened ; I said he should not panic. If only one in each cia of 30 i~ an cting-out aggres ive ch1ld. ou h ve problems. In many inner-city schools, discipline take up to 75 to 90 per cent of the teacher's time. And, a Morse writes, " hool difficultie with disciplme increase by the day, both m m nitude and intensity. It is a ymptom of the culture we have produced. In many clas rooms. and. indeed, in whole chool or area . the anxiety of teachers nd ad mmi tr toL ha re ched high pitch. An tnciden t causes someone to pu h the panic button for control no m tter what the ide-effect . We are often ready to settle for urface compliance rather than hygienic management which te che throu b confrontation of the problems. Thi(l:lly, then , how can we have hygienic management and be secure in the knowledge that we can handle the mo t violent urface behavior that may rise without using corporal puni hment ? H w. if nece ary, can we hygienically restrain, remove from th cia room, control, and calm the child who, by I ing control, i preventing the teacher from teaching? Here are a few u estion : ( I) The org nizational and t ff model for chool that performed so well for the upward mobile immigrants ha proven irrelevant and un ucces ful for the overwhelming majority of today' di3advantaged popul tion. Our core area hool have been and are being tr n led by the overwhelmin problem a sociated with lower socio-economic roups to the point th t the chool don't tand chance of ucceedin t their prime function of education. Talking of the need for decentralization or revi d emerging needs curriculum i aim t irrelevant until individual chool condition improve so that principa can provide educational leadership nd teacher can te ch with some chance of ucce . To achieve thi , our inner-city school must be reorganized into action unit , if you'll accept the analogy, comparable to a combat infantry unit with all it supportive troo and equipment. The school must be restructured and taffed to cope with any eventuality, never losing sight of the importance of the personality of every member of the taff. For, if a we have done in the past, we in titutionalize a tructural model and di re rd the individual personality. re ardl of the tructure, the in titution i doomed to failure. · (2) In me cities, we may stiJI tand a chance. When we do, enlightened chool le der mu t sume the leadership role and re ch out to the Black and White communities on two level . First, Black and White parents must be informed that there i a difference between civil rights disobedience in the tree nd a child's acting-out in school and disruption of his o n and hi fellow students' education . Further, parent mu t understand that when a child Jo e control and becomes violent, school autboritie will u e a much phy ical restraint a i ne ry to control him so that he i a threat neither to himself, hi fellow tudcnts, nor school personnel. Secondly, school leader mu t invite parent , represcntativ of tate human relation council , militants, religious, and tudent and eth ic groups into their chool to form chool committees to discu honestly their children' educations. Hopefully, a these groups beC?Inc exposed to the myri~d of problem overwhelming the chool and become co?vmced that the schools arc neither practicing corporal punashmcnt nor prejudiced against their children, they will become a powerful lobby for increased school funds and services. Sadly, m t often our leadership bas not been enlightened, and sc:bool committees, if set up at all, were organized only aft~r incidents bad taken place, sides had been taken, and postlions polarized. ( 3) In all chool districts, massive programs on all school levels must be organized to identify, educate and rehabilitate socially maladjusted and emotionally disturbed children. An examination of school records shows that most convicted criminals were troubled children. The one chance society has to help troubled adults comes when they are still troubled school children. Even a massive program would be far cheaper than the costs in both dollars and human misery entailed in· the legal and punitive processes. For some children, visiting a psychologist one day a week may be enough. For others, a special class or school might be the answer. AU facilities, however, must be adequately staffed . and equipped. (Compll:menting this program, of course, hould be a rna ive program to help physicaiJy handicapped children .) ( 4) Many cbool districts already employ school aids in uch categoric as lunch-room supervisors, clerical aids, and hall-pa checkers. To assist the school staff in handling some of the community problems that spill over into the school, I would ugge t the training and employment of real paraprofe ionals as "Crisis Prevention Aids" and School Mothers and Fathers. (a) The "Crisis Prevention Aid" would be a .semitrained person indigenous to the community served by the school. For every four teachers, there would be one male and one female "Crisis Prevention Aid ." Their responsibility would include calming and talking with children on the verge of losing control or who have lo t control. The emphasi for the child is, "You may not prevent the teacher from teaching. When you calm down, or feel better, you may go back to class. Meanwhile, would you like to talk about what's bothering you?" AdditionaiJy, the "Cri is Prevention Aid" would keep unauthorized persons out of the school. (b) The "School Mother and Father" are closely related to the "ca mp mothers" of early settlement house camps. They, too, are indigenous to the community and work out of the nurse's office. They should be compassionate, warmhearted men and women at home with both band-aids and needle and thread . Additional responsibilities might include cleaning and drying clothing in the school's washer and dryer, taking an injured child to the .hospital, taking a child home, supplying hoe-lace • and taking a child to keep his clinic appointment. (5) In addition to the earlier-mentioned "sensitivity" college sequences for teachers, an additional "Conditioning Classroom Experience" is vital. Through discussion, role-playing and imulation. Black and White teacher trainees must come into close physical working relationship to overcome possible negative feelings toward one another's color; each should be able to publicly hug and Jove a child of another color. Middleclass Black and White feelings toward the lower-class are fairly imilarl but based upon a different frame of reference. White sfucfcnt teachers must confront directly such questions as: (a) Why shouldn't he call a Black youngster "boy"? (b) Does he think Black children can learn? (c) How will be react to a Black child calling him a White mother-{_ _ ? For the Black student: (a) How will he react to a Black child calling him by his first name or ranking, sounding, creaming, wolfing or playing the dozen on him? • . (b) How will he react to a young~ter w1th a prcx;ess? . (c) How wiiJ he react to a Wh1te student calhng h1m a "Nigger" or mother-{_ _ Black bastard? •Mr Foster t.ra lates: to "rlUll<," insult som~ne wilh a true sutement; "soUnd " !mull with a false statement; "JCTUm, insult while challenalna to flaht· .zwoll " make run or someone and " play Ute dozens." to insult someone 'by maldna salacious remark.J about his women- mother. sia.ter, or old lady.

Then he oun with the tatements : "It nt suis pas fran~ais . le suis amlricain. It uis d Paris. It nt suis pas tn Franct." The subtle m tery of thi apparent contradiction grips the reader and helps him to pef ceive in the jottin of the following day an entry of great igniticance : "It suis assi.s derriere Ia porte, devant une fenitre ." , That the writer hould be behind the door is not in itself remarkable ; it might perhaps be due to diffidence; but ~at be at the me time a position in front of the wmdow indi~t the degtee to winch this naturalJy retiring young man · willing to expose himself for a cau . Then comes the first allusion to his devoted friend, the Count de Remi. Was ever the admiration of friend for friend more glowingly e pressed? "Mercredi le six novembre. Remi n'est pas un mechant gar~on ." The remai nder of the diary- for diary one must now a ent it is - i devoted chiefly to the young Count. Very early he is in peril ; someone seeks to undo him : "Lundi le sept novembre. l e suis a Paris. Tu es a Paris. II est a Paris//!" Thus is recorded the warning which the writer dared every ri k to convey to the Count. "He is in Paris! ! !" The writer struggles against heavy odds and many a page breathes discouragement. Plunged in gloom, ·he writes: " Villain , plus vilain . Malheureux, plus ma/heureux, le plus malheureux." Then in a frenzy, he seizes a blue pencil and scrawl across the page the desperate phrase, "Tres mal." The script is seemingly that of an older hand a clever trick to deceive possible enemies. From time ~o time appear tender passages, which placed in proper order, throw light on Remi's romantic attachment. for the daughter of an enemy. The following bare conversations are recorded : "le demande. Tu demandes. Elle demande. Nous demandons." The mystery of what it is they all demand is cleared up \Jnmediately : "J'embrasse. Tu embrasses. Elle embrasse. NdJ,is embrassons." In this simple plighting of their troth the friend of both parties must have been joyfully prese'nt, for the document goes on to state, "Vous embrassez, ils embrassent, tiles embrassent." Realizing that they have been possibly a bit premature, the young people discuss his prospects. (The mystery of the numbers has not yet been cleared up satisfactorily.) "(1) J'ai deux maisons," declares Remi stoutly. "(2) Ai-je deux maisons?" falters the girl, meaning, "Am I really to have two houses?" "( 3) le sui.s icil" says the Count, his chest swelling with pride. This is colloquial for "Trust me!" It is presumed that at this point Remi folds her to him, for after a pause, h~ murmurs the following phrase with a dizzying sense of unreality, . " ( 4) Suls-je ici?" The girl then apparently brealcs away With a start, crying: (Continued on page 13) COLLEAGUE 9 �The Woodlawn Education Information Center has been into a lot of community action things but thi was omething el e.

Much of The Temporary Societ is devoted to the management of change, and it is at tJle point where the analysis of org nization I change lips over into polic that the book becomes especial! meaningful to the organization themselve . There are I son here for a complex organization such a ours faced with the double duty of adapting now and or' creating at the arne time structures that will guarantee future adjustment to change. The authors do not pre ent a "grand overarching and incluive model" for dealing with change. Their approach i more urgent than ystematic. "We write this book." they ay, "with one goal, and that is to force into view certain changes affecting vital aspeOJs o our key in titution : organizational life, famil life, interper onal relationships. and authority ." The Temporary Society opens with a convincing, rather bu ine oriented variant on the convergence theory: Democracy is inevitable in any technologically ophisticated tate not because it is nicer but becau e it cope more efficiently than does autocracy with the complex, shifting needs of the organizations produced by the new technology. Using this collaboration as their jumping-off place, Slater and Bennis take turns doing their own things in ub equent chapters. Slater, for example, develops hi thesi that underlyin the inexorable democratic trend is the emergence throughout the world of "the democratic family," the type of familial organization which is characteristic of American life and i marked by mini~al social distance between parents and children, mild exerc1se of parental authority, in other words, the ind of family organization that situation comedy caricatures and that prompts ob ervers (e pecially tho e without children) to cry "child-centered." This pattern of penni ive child-rearing tend to produce adults who have little loyalty to the practice and belief systems of their parent and, as a corollary, little emotional investment in the status quo. Slater also di cu , and very sensitively, the emotional quality of life in a world of social change. In his ections, Bennis deals at length with problem and problem-solving strategies which might be clumped together under the rubric, management a peels of the temporary society. In "Beyond Bureaucracy," for example, be bows that bureaucracy, with its mechanical model and pyramidal chain of command, can no longer deal effectively with industrial itu tion characterized by unexpected change, growth in size and complexity, and, most basically perhaps, a change in the p ycbology of management itself. He predicts that, in the future, organizations •. including business ones, will be increasingly temporary, adapt1ve structures, task-oriented and manned by individuals who pool their specialized talents for the duration of the t .

Secret History of the Count de Remi (Continued from page 9) "(5 ) II a un chien!" referring to her father, the revolutionist. "( 6) A-t-ii-Lm chien?" anxiously from Remi. A bright thought occurs to the girl ; she inquires excitedly: "( 7) As-tu-un-singe?" Who but a clever French girl would . have remembered at such a time to ask her lover if be; had a monkey! "( 8) J'ai un singe," he announces proudly. This forethought on the part of her lover reassures her. It i evident that the diarist acts as lookout during their meeting , for the girl seem to be instructing him on several occasions. Only the climax can be given here : "Je cause avec Remi," she ay . " Vous donnez le mouchoir a Alice." Alice is, no doubt, the faithful maid . "Vous gardez le jardin!" You see, they still fear that the father will discover their secret. Having di po ed of the writer of the diary for the moment, Remi and his lady-love continue together until the alarm is given,' "lis marchent dans Ia maison!" The father and probably the dog approach. "Elle pleure dans Ia piece." Alas! She is discovered and her frail feminine nerves give way. Aghast, she whispers "II porte le livre," referring no doubt to the family Bible, and suggesting di inheritance. "Nous ne restons pas assis ," we read next, which i French Terror slang for "We won't give in!" Yet that same night, we know, the two disappeared, leaving this note, "Je ne retournerai pas, II ne retournera pas, Elle ne retournera pas." But "Le Futur," written at the top of this leaf indicates their hope to return. Count Remi and the revolutionist's daughter encounter financial difficulties, as this brave letter (loosely inserted into the notebook) to the author will show: "Nous avons seulement un peu d'argent , mais nous avons une vache. La vache donne que/que litres du fait . Je soigne les legumes et Ia vache aussi." Jt i apparent that the aunt's dome tic hardships, in addition to hi personal danger, weigh heavily upon the faithful diarist. He gives us a sad picture of the s raits to which the nobleman was reduced when he writes: " Remi vend les legumes dans les rues ~<es villagts." It is to be feared that the revolutionist's daughter confined herself trictly to housework. Often, in those difficult days, must the girl have recalled with bitterness the monkey and the two houses with which Remi had baited her. Later, there are whole nights of watching to save the Count from disaster : "Lundi It seize decemhre. II est onze heures et demi. II est minuit. II tst une heure. II est deux heures. II est trois heures et un quart. ll J!St cinq heures moins six minutes." Then, as the night drags on land the loneliness becomes more oppressiv~, be ceases to count the hours, and with bowed head , wntes : "Homme mislrablt! Lt!S hommes miserablesl Des hommes miserablesl During another of these anxious vigils, the naturally though~­ ful man understandably philosophizes: "Remi est ici. Rem1, est-if ici?

Colleague LIB-UA044 Description An account of the resource By the early 1950s, the University of Buffalo had expanded from a small group of autonomous schools into a modern university with 14 divisions and a central campus. No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

These women, though, haye decided to do the hard thing and are grappling from 9 to 5 with the inequities that keep people off Civil Service· ro ters. T The Secretarial Training Program was conceived last Summer during a meeting of Executive Vice President Peter F. Regan, Personnel Director Harry Poppey, and Frank Besag, assistant professor of education. The meeting had been called to consider two high-priority questions- first, what, if anything, can the University do to help solve the employment problems of the inner city?, and, second, can the University's own critical shortage of qualified secretarial personnel be alleviated? Possible solutions included a program to train innercity women to become Grade 3 or Grade 4 ecretaries. This propo al wa~ turned over to Dr. Besag for implementation lind in the next few months_ a program evolved. First, a .t eaching staff was chosen (a necessary first step because staff were to be involved in determining policy and curriculum). Since successful adjustment to office life requires a great deal more than shorthand and typing, staff were chosen on the basis of non-secretarial expertise. Those appointed were Mrs. Lois Brown, veteran of five years experience as director of women's physical education at the Humboldt YMCA; Mrs. Lillian Giuliano, a social work graduate grounded in sensitivity training; Mrs. Karen O'Neil, formerly a teacher and researcher at the University �of Chicago Laboratory School, and Mrs. Ann Schaffer, whose profes ional field is home economics. Mrs. Helen Signer con ented to teach typing. Anthony Marcello was named as i tant co-ordinator with Dr. Richard Salzer of Educational Studies a consultant. Next trainees were recruited. A similar training program for ecretaries in New Orleans had accepted students on the basis of performance on standardized t in English usage and po session of high school diplomas. The UB staff felt that these criteria tended to exclude those who could benefit mo t from the program and cho e instead to accept traine s at random from among tho e who completed an entrance exam. Many of the women enrolled learned about the program at the store-front extension centers. Along with staff and trainee , the program still needed a third group of per onnel-supervising secretaries. No one, the staff decided, is better qualified to initiate the secretarial trainees into the complex and ambiguous life of University offices "than the secretarie o l'llMl them. The program called for fo hours of in-office training each morning, an supervising secretaries were self-selected af circulation of a memo from President Meyer o --outlining the program. �THE I ROLE OF THE CO THE POOR M M U N I T YBy Dr. J ames A. Moss his fflu nt nation which we call th United tat , from its rli st ginnings, deT rived its tr ngth from th poor. The arty s ttl r of t is gr at democracy were r 1 d from debtor pri on's in England to k n w root in a country bountiful in land rli t immiand in n tur I r our .

Oscar H ndJin and oth rs hav chronicled too well th ccultur tion and imllation of immigrant gr up into th m instream of American in thi paper.' lif for me to d il th proc It i uffici nt to ay that th y came ; moved into n ighborhood (cultural gh ttos) which h d previously receiv d relatives and friends f rom th old country; I rn d th language and th w y of the domin nt cultur ; and wh n th y f It r ady and able to move out into the larger ociety hey did o with varying d gr s of A corollary of thi movem nt relates to the vi ibility of th new American. One may say with c rtainty th t th mor ily identifiable th r ident of the gh t o, as different in physical p r nee from those outside, the more difftcul it bee me for him 'to move out into t he bro der opportunities and wider horizons of th larg r society.· We are, therefore, confronted with the ~ nomenon of gradual decrea in iz of ghetto primarily populated by immigrants from so-called !' bite countries" with a aimultaneou increase and growth of ghetto primarily inhabited by color ed peoples. In an earlier paper .we observed that: " Althou h it i1 clear that depreued areaa contain peopl or ' nonpeopl 1' of ev ry race, rellgion, ethnic 1traln in the United Statea, race i1 a potent factor in th ghetto proe 11 that eneompa · th poor.

They left behind their well-used shelters for those in lower income brackets - Negroes, Puerto Ricans, Latin Americana, Orientale, and poor educated whitea and hillbillies."' In spite of the welcome this country has historically extended to the poor and oppressed in other lands, we have never really taken the plight of the economically disadvantaged seriously in this country. Prior to 1960, it ·was a rare sociology or social problems textbook published in this count ry that dealt sensitively and substant ively with the human dimensions of poverty, but one is not taxed to find negative, stereotypical conceptions of fhe poor in the literature both past and present. One of the fathers of sociology, William Graham Sumner, provides this description of the "poor" and the "weak" as : . . . the shi ftless, the im prudent , the negligent, the impractical, a nd the inefficient, or they are the idle, the Intemperate, the extravagant, and the viciou . ("The Forgotten Man", William Graham Sumner, included in Analysing Social Pro blem~~, Nol'dakog, McDonough, Vincent, Dryden Press, N. Y., 1956, p . 481.) The policy implications of Sumner's conception of the poor is expressed by him in words equally as precise and firm : "The notion is aeeep~d as If it were not open to any question that jf \fou help the inefficient and vicious you may gain someth ing for society or you may not, but that you lose nothing. This ia a complete mistake. Wha tevel' capital you divert to the support of a shiftless and good-for-nothing person is so much diverted from some other employment, and t hat means f rom someone else. I would spend a ny conceivable amount of zeal and eloquence if I possessed it to try to make people grasp this idea.'" This t hen was the prevailing image of the poor at t he t urn of the century, and except for a brief honeymoon period during the depression it was almost public consensus that the soci~ty could count on having the poor with us always and that there was little the government should or couJd do about remedying ·the unfortunate situation. If the depression period could be looked upon as exceptional, it was due to the fact that the economic straits in which 3 ��many found th ms lv could be rationalized way as r suiting from untoward vents occurring in th mark t place over which individuals had li tl or no control. Wor still. being poor became Identified with th multi-faceted probl ms associated with the slum. And tho who lived in the slums w re coli ctiv ly vi wed as responsible for high crime, d linqu ncy and death rates costing th city mor for the maintenance of ntial ocial rvic 8 than they ever provided the city in r v nue. • Thus th lums and their inhabitantt were oblig d to look upon thems lves 8 burd ns to th ir citi s, of little worth to th m lv 8 or to anyon els . Tho charged with the r sponsibility of at I ast alleviating, if not curing, th ill the poor wer trained and bee m ccustom d to doing things for poor p opl , r · ther than working with them to help th m lv . Is it then any wonder that the poor becam di gruntl d, su piciou and distrustful prof ionally involved in ministering of th to their ocial and economic ne ds? Th re were always exc ptional p rsons in the slum who, with p rseverance, luck and unusu I wit, escaped out id th boundarie of the ghetto into fr dom, but by and large ghetto life, partieul rly for the non-white inhabitant, became a p rman nt existence extending into the third and fourth g nerations of offspring. It wa th p rman nt not tran1ient residents of the gh tto who con ist ntly rejected a broad array of rvic • public and privately made available to th m, but often at the expense of their individual dignity and pride.' I hav sug ested that poverty has become almo t a standard item of quipment in American oci ty, although I am beginning to discern a ns of di quietude as to its corrosive effects upon th whole system. If on rer ads Robert Heilbroner' piece entitled "Who Are th American Poor?," which originally appeared in Harp r's m gazine almo t two decade ago, one i truck by th pertinenc -of what he wrote th n for an accurat de cription of t he poor today. Now, then, we witness the incongruity of sizeable sub-population of the poor in n era of unprec d nted. affluence in America. Still valid today is hi identification ol the segmen of our poptJlation at the threshold of or imbedded within four subculture of poverty : the rural poor, the aged, Negroes, t he disabled and the underemployed. In· Heilbroner's analysis, bow ver, he only begins to ask the right questions as to what re the root causes of poverty, and, indeed, what are the human dimensions and consequ~nces ot poverty for both the victim and the IJOCiety in which he Uvea.• · of The failure of the House to pass a rat control bill on the first go-around ; current efforts to push through Congress regressive, anti-welfare legislation ; political maneuvers to shift control of federal poverty funds over to local city administrations, all suggest that our image of the poor is not too far removed from that held by William Graham Sumner . Consider, too, the remark attributed to Senator Russell Long of Louisiana recently when confronted ·by a sit-in in Washington of mothers who receive public welfare a sistance for their .children : "If they can find time to ma rch in the st reets, picket and sit all day in committee hea ring rooms, they can find time to do some useful work." oa The article continues: "No doubt the women's behavior was annoying to the Senator, but his remar ks suggest plainly that what really bothered him was the f act that they were not wage earners. And that being the case, in his view, they were probably lazy and among 'those who ref~se to help themselves', as he describes welfare recipients."' These illustrations notwithstanding, the poor now are demanding not only to be heard, but een and considered in any programs that directly involve them. While this change has not been sudden, t he systematic" documentation and analysis of this change lags behind our need for such information.• The sparseness of a body of concept ualized data on the subgroups that comprise the population of the poor serves as a. limitation- a serious limitation--on the materials presented here. I am sure my biases on this subject are woven through the items which I have selected as source materials for this .paper and are reflected in the way in which I have cho en to interpret the materials which form the basis of my observations. I suggest that this is at best an exploratory treatment of a subject j ust beginning to rise to the surface, with much of what is unknown still to be mined and proeessed. I do suggest, however, that some published materials have ap~ared over the years which provide rich background information into the subcult ures of the urban poor. One needs only to scan some of the major ethnic studies in the United States over the last 60 years: Znaniecki's The PoU.h Pea.~ant; Zorbaugh's The Gold Coast and the Slum~; Lewis' The Bl4ckway8 of Kent; Myrdal'a An American Dilemma.,· Steinbeck's The Grapu of Wt"Gtll; Frazier's The Negro Fo.milr ift the Uflu.d St4tu; Johnson's Patteru of Segrego.titnl; Cayton and Drake's Bl4ck Jletropolill; Ellllon'a IKNibk Man; Wright'a NGtiflt Sort; Llebow'a Tallr'• Ccma.er; and Baldwin'• NoWw Kt101111 Mw 5 �6 Na.m1•. 1 could go on. but th point 1 want to mak is that ther is an abundant lit ratur that d als with th cont nt of th human x/ p rience within th confines of th ghetto. Much of it also sugg sts ways and m ans of r aching nnd communicating in depth with p opl who hnv in common un qual access to th conomic good and prerogativ of our oci ty .

By pointing out the damage that enforced segregation has upon the hearts and mind of the Negro child, scholars began to explore the conquence of uch damage for the human populations and ocial institutions that together operate at the core of our ociety." What had oper ted a mlrk of tigma, now became a "black dge of courage," and Negroes initiated a fuJJ. 1 organized attack -on what i being referr d to the white attack on the Negro psych . I think that this i n element that li at the heart of th matter in organizing the poor in behalf of ·improving their own condition. The daily, co~ tant, unremitting attack on the Negro psyche is described by a group of Negro clergymen as: "the fundament~! root of human injustice in America." They go on to ob er ve that "in one sense, the concept of 'black power' reminds us of the need for and the possibility of authentic democracy in America.'" It i against the significance of social change as measured against attitudinal change that the black man in America is beginning to gauge his progress. Consider the comments of two Negro grammar school youths both in. northern schools: "Discrimination is even in the school I attend right now. I know my teacher is very prejudiced because I have certain questions that have to be answered :lor my knowledge, but he will never anawer. I told him one night, to his :face, that if he didn't want to answer my questions just tell m and I would leave. There are always other teachers. He didn 't say anything. He just looked at me and figured I was going to - so he said, 'well, maybe next time.' There is no next time this is the time and I'm not taking second best from any white man.'' 14 A fifth grade Negro student from California recently made the following observation at a Civil Rights Commission conference on equal educational opportunity: " I gueu we :feel more strongly about this than our parenta. I believe that Negroes and whites should nepect each other for what they are on the inside, not for what they look like on the ·o utside. But we live in a world where a lot o:l whites want to keep Negroes on the bottom. You can't talk about anything like how to improve schools apart :from this.''" What I am suggesting here is that the demand for full membership into American society i filtering down into the younger age groups within the Negro ghetto- from the fifth grade through high school. The movement is already there, operating in organized fashion at a number of points along the spectrum of political and civic action. For Ernest Dunbar, senior editor of Look magazine, "the motive force of the movement is in black slum youth, the kids who Jive rith the knowledge that they were written of! before they were born.'"" Still other ghetto youths are organized within the structure of federal poverty programa such as the. Neighborhood Youth Development Program of the United Planniq Organization in Washington, D. C. In some prellmlnary data from a poll administered to memben and ttaff of NYDP, we senee that tbe ~beet l&tllfaetion that they have derived from their orpailational experience baa to do wftb their ·~ ened senee of awareneu" of what ll .W.. on about them. u well u ! of self-improvement. It Ia II 7 �/ not jobs, recreation, education, hou. ing . or other social improvement which they Identify with UPO, but rather it is NYDP a a v hicl for facilitating individual expre sion and P rsonal develop'm ent that holds their attraction and their energy. Then, too, there i organization among ghetto youth on behalf of mor radical means to bring about change in th ir life situation. The Washington Post reports on the appeal of black nationalism for N gro young people: · "When the black revolutionaries speak of 'getting it together,' they mean, among oth~r thinga, getting that young man to hope that m violent struggle against this society he may be fr e at la11t to pursue life without fear of death from th white man. Th black nationali ts m to be getting through to ghetto youth, wher all other org~nizations and programs fail." " (On the other hand, a similar poll administered randomly to adult members of the Cardoza community still listed housing, jobs and education in that order as unfinished business· on the agenda of UPO.) 8 The point to be emphasized here i that th Negro poor have long been organized in behalf of their own self-preservation. But the e organizations have been, in the main, small, unaffilhlted or at best loo ely affiliated, informal groups devoted solely to dealing with local, personal issues or crises. It may well be that conceptualizing the organization of larger aggregates of the poor over broader and some_. what more abstract issue could erve to dilute a·nd render less effective the e organizations as vehicles for social improvement and social change. An Invisible Poor at the Exp ns of a Costly War If in the past the slums exercised a greater drain on the community and nation's re ource than they contributed to it, one is certain now that the poor pay a proportionately greater share of their lives and money in support of our military engagement in Vietnam than they are getting back in the form of federally funded social services. I think this imbalance weighs particularly heavily upon the Negro poor, whose males constitute a larger proportion of the armed forces engaged in Vietnam than their size in the population warrants. The figures are both striking and damaging when one contrasts fiscal expenditures for the poverty program with those allocated for military purposes. In the three year period, 1964-67, the U. S. government spent between $4 and $4.5 billion for poverty programs while at the same time the defense, public works, space and agricultural programs accounted for about $77 billion.'

A hilt in G arson th Part of Communitv L aders in D aling With the Poor To be sure, like the cone pt of "benign r ci quota ," it ha been mo t difficult to d fin in operational t rms what constitute "m ximum, feasible p rticip tion of the poor." I suppo e it depends upon what sid of th tabl on i itting. For the poor, "m ximum, f ibl participation" m ans the power to initiate and imp) m nt plans in th ir own h lf. Thu , when m mbers of th poor citiz n advisory group lo t decision-m king power over UPO by two vo rec ntly, th 1 ader of the group promi d w will be b ck "at a very opportune moment."

This I tter dim nion is mea ur d "in terms of d ficienci in If-respect, status, and opportuniti for participation in decision-making.""

C., 1967. 9 �( meet your colleague ith all the aplomb of a mother corn ring a pediatrician at a cocktail party, the first question I put to urban hi torian Dana White was "Can Buffalo be saved?" His answer was "If you mean the old city, no." ~' The industrial city was an historical phas in the continuing proces of urbanization. Much of the propaganda to Save the City i sheer Romanticism based on an outmoded form - the highly centralized inner core with its dependent outer rings. Buffalo is not going to sink into the Lake, but it's not going to undergo any miraculous rebirth either. History went wrong for cities this size. 1 :'Buffalo had great potential into the 20th century. It was a very progressive city. Th country's first Charity Organization Society, a forerunner to the Community Chest or United Fund, was founded here in 1877, and Buffalo's , . Westminster House, still active on the East Side today, was one of the nation's earliest, most outstanding settlement houses ; not Hull House, but important. "But after the First World War, with new developments in motor transportation, the great national metropolises overwhelmed local centers such as Buffalo. The urban giants drained the political and economic power from the smaller municipalities. Buffalo was just too damn' close to New York, and now, to Toronto. "And let's face it, the climate mitigates against Buffalo. The City's too cold to be really attractive. The great urban movements of this century have all been toward better climates, particularly as we became a more leisure-oriented nation. This is a primary reason for the phenomenal growth of California. the South- W w st, Florid , and th ar a around Washinging, D. " Th Qu n ity was sinking fast, and I look d to Dana for as uranc that w r not, in fact, doom d. "When th situation becom s too critical in Buffalo, downtown busin ss int r ts step in . The skyscrap r i th t nd rd ans r to f 11ing mark t popul tion nd d lining inn r m to city on my. Wh n in troubl • build, be the philo ophy.

On th dg of hi Ph.D. in urb n hi tory from G org Wa hington Univ r ity ("d gr xpect d Summ r 196 . "), Dana has much mor than a r id nt' casual inter t in h city in which he liv s. For exampl , Buffalo provid minar the subject matter tha hi junior stud nt will cov r in h F II : This coura will provid th hlatory major with tint-hand experi nc In baaic arch on th d v lopm nt of a mod rn Am rican m tropolla from ita inception aa a apeculativ town In the arly daya of th Republic, to ita em r n e aa a gional center of commerce and induatry, to ita recent d terioratlon and attempt. at renewal. In the courae of our atudy we ahall xamln Butl'alo'a phyaieal atructur , ita cla composition, and I political organisation; almultan ualy, and rbapa of more importance, w haJJ attempt to relate th local ltuation to th national, to In the developm nt of Buft'alo th outlln of acbl v• ment and failur in the entir Am rlcan • riment. We ahall concern ourael , in oth-er worda, not with the m r loeal biatory, but with wi4erranglnr qu atlona about hi torlcal truth and method. By attempting to d rmin t.h releT&IIC7 of the particular to th universal by teating seneralizationa about a na ion aa-afn t t.he 'rid nee of a apecitlc community, we ball be ptti.n&' at th very "atutl'" of hiatory. Turning from his p rticul r view on Buffalo, I asked D n to ff neralize bout n tiona! urban Jtuation. . "Race r volutions ide, ome m jor Am ri· c n citie re cert inly going to surviv for exampl , New York, Washington, Boston, S n Francisco. They may lo some popul tion, but they will continue to prov their viability. I think the other citi , citi s like Buffalo, could be considerably d populated." "Are planned communiti th answer?" u the next qu ry, and it came from a place somewhere betw n hopefuln about nt experiments like Re ton and Columbia and dr d of Wald n Two. "We do n d a national New Communiti �program, but it will be most effective, I susp ct, in the Southwest and on the Pacific slope. I ~ay N w ommuniti rath r than New Towns becaus I don't think w can copy Britain's N w Towns program although we can learn from it. "W also n d furth r suburbanization. I think suburban living is an American id al. uburbia h captur d the American imagination. It ha come to m an to Americans almost what th garden city means to the English. We n d a proliferation not of slurbs--the symbiotic sprawl that now radiates from our cities - but of s If-contained suburban towns." "Suburbia," I r mind d, is a dirty word. "P opl have be n tak n in by the rash of nti-suburban writing since World War II. Much of it is sh er manic. There have been f w eff ctiv suburban defenders-John Cheev r is one. Herbert G ns, in his recent study of Th L vittowner1, is anoth r." Voeif rou anti- uburb nites, people who are v ry pl a d with them lves becaus they Jive in th city, giv him pain. "If you live l>n Ashland Avenu , 1you r ally can't call it city living. You liv ju t lik th people in Amher , you ju t hav smaller lawn. In the lut cenwer the tr t-ear suburbs." tury, th "But whil you build n w communities and r tyl th suburb , what do you do with the citie th m lv ?" ry fir t "Som urban r newal is a nee tep, but not th mo t important. Rehabilitation of ound tructur and neighborhoods is far mor important, ince we must at least gin to give our cities a nse of continuity, of permanence. In thia country, we have system tic Ily r habilitated only buildings from th Coloni 1 and Feder 1 periods. In Buffalo, for exampl , th re are hundr ds of lovely, p cious, basically ound structures from the Victorian period that could be r habilitated, but are not becau of our anti-Victorian bias. Victorian hou s, th huge buildings with u . Their buildbizarre decoration , emb rr er w re so sure of th m lves that we feel unY in th presence of their gaudy but vigorous cr tion . Look at the fin Victorian hou tw n Elmwood and D lawar , Chippewa houses could be and North. Most of th s v d. Th y should probably be thinned out to provid more functional open space, not garden pace either, or tradi ional playgrounds." Dana would not have the city Som thin plann r do. One i to ·buiJd showcase playground , which smacks of institutionalizing kid . "I remember when I w growing up in New York only tfte tinky kids played in the playgrouncJs. The real kids played in the streets. Today's city traffic keeps even the real kids out of the streets, of course, but planned r creation areas could be brought mpre into line with the actual play patterns of the users. Planners of playgrounds might try consulting the neighborhood young and asking them what they want and would use." (If polled, he would request baseball diamonds, open spaces in which to play touch, and similar amenities. This, he concedes, is sheer personal prejudice. So fanatical is his love of sports that, while he was at George Washington, it supported a campus-wide rumor that he had been sold for $100,000 and two thoroughbreds to the Washington Senators.) As Dana went on, simultaneously brainstorming and scatter-gunning, I r~alized that this interview was not going to produce a tidy · Master Plan for the City in the Year 2000. "I reject the elitist view of some planners who think they can design the perfect city. The metropolises of the future should offer the widest possible choice of living styles-highrise, low-rise, urban, suburban, old, modern. Such a multiplicity of options could become the greatest physical amenity this country could offer those who choose to live here. And the urban dweller himself should be the force behind this variety. Planning decisions are very . much his business." "How does urban history fit into a university curriculum?" He answered anecdotally. "At first, I was urprised when Warren Bennis asked me, an historian (and therefore part humanist, part social scientist), to join the social scieqtists in the policy sciences core facultY.. Of course, I was pleased to learn that others recognized how much social activists have to learn from the past. Mayor Lindsay, for example, recently recommended the opening of recreation piers in New York City. New York had recreation piers in the 1890's, and they proved very popular with the poor. But this is only by way of illustration. We can derive more than models from a study of history. We can get a sense of the continuity of experience, a realization that a city is an organic reality that lives through time. The urban community of a century ago lives on in our city at this moment. At a meeting of the committee planning the University's new School of Eivironmental Design, Eric Larrabee had one of the best insights I've heard all year. He remarked on how much more English children know about the cities in which they live than our children do, and what a loss it is to live without a sense of the past. This has been our loss. Urban history can help overcome that." 11 �( books by the faculty ELEMENTARY TOPOLOGY - b11 .

ALO e, �Th D ath of Martin Luther King, Jr. By E. Juanita Young h n I wu awaken d by g ntly that the police who had been called patted him on his back.

I thought about how I felt come on announcing that Dr. King when President Kenn dy was murhad be n ahot.

Jt was a no matter what Ia being said in favor of them some of the actions if I had n I bbor ho cam to taken ar inexcusable. I rememh ard the newa. We tried to alk r d orne of Dr. King's speeches a u it bu words ould not com , and books that I hav read, and w started to cry. My daught ra, began to w p uncontrollably. I did who are t nag ra, ~gan to throw not go to bed that night until paper cups around the living room after 1 :00 a.m. When I got up to and I aak d th m what waa wrong. go to school, I felt as if I had They replied that th y wer reJ asbricks in my legs. I wondered how in th ir ho tilitl s, and I began to II through my t are. My mind I could face the Caucasians on my job, beeau I felt hate for everytook m ha.ck my 5th grad achool thin I remember d that the white teach r. h slapped m in th fac man did to the black man in America aua I w nt to th bathroom in my 37 yeara. Th is has been " hell" without h r permi sion v n though in my estimation. My mind really b kn w I had a kidney condition. At that tim , h would al aya regot carried away as I dressed and (u m permiaslon to go to the left my home. When I got on the bus a white woman sat next to me bathroom knowing I could not hold my urln . I thou ht about how ah and I thou bt to myaelf she's just trying to be nice today. I rememmad me sit at my deak, I t me wet bered wh n a white p rson would my If, and th n for d me to ata nd out in th hall by a radiator to dry, rath r stand than sit next to a black, aa if he had a plague. A Negro following which th odor of t.h wool oman got on the bus with a morndr s and urine and heat ov rea ing paper in her hand. Dr. King's m . n I w nt hom and told my fath r about it, he went to school picture was on the front page. th next day and had a na ural ftt. l felt a1 though a bolt of lightThat was my first experl nee of ning struck me and began to hating a Caucaaian. I also thought cry again. It aeema that everyone about goin to th neighborhood was crying on the bus. The white ahow on aturdaya, when TV wa.s woman next to me patted my hand not. around. The man ger of the Coland cried harder than I. She said umbia Theatre, whl uaed to be on she did not know that much about G n StJ; t, called my younger Dr. King, but he had always adslater a "blatk bitch" beeauae .abe mir d him and his speeches. I could had juat come out of the bathroom not answer becauae of my emotions ith a mixed group of our n ighso I did not reply. By the time the borhood fri nch.

Wb n he arAlL, boycott and began to hate rived at the how, man confuaion every white person on the bus. n. My father ancrUy told the An older N~ woman aat next mana r about himael! so intellito me and bepn to talk. She aald, W "Chile, I am so filled up I don't know what to do. I have to go clean for these white folks and I really . don 't know what to do. You are m~ch younger than me, but honey, th1s is worse than slave.-y, because the white man's gone crazy. His children better hurry and do something or they are going to kill Ull all." When I arrived at Foster Hall, the doors to the office were locked, and I was glad because I wondered how I would act towards my co-workers. Finally I went into the bathroom and prayed asking God to give me the strength, wisdom, and intelligence I would need for days and years to come. When everyone arrived I was much calmer and able to talk freely about Dr. King's murder. And some professors cried while we talked, and I remember a Mr. Bloom looked at the mourning band I had worn on my left arm and said he wished be could wear one. I commented he . could because Dr. King d.ied for us all and he began to cry. I almost started to cry again, but strangely I felt at peace. When the day of Dr. King's funeral arrived, I knew that I would go to pieces, but from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I laid on my living room couch and watched ~he most beautiful tribute any black man has ever received. Therefore I have more race pride now from watching the funeral than I ever had in my life. Dr. King is not dead, he is much more alive spiritually than he was physically. Even with all the good that has been done in his lifetime, his death shall bring about some of the greatest changes in the history of this nation for the black man ,.n~ the white. Because he truly has overcome everything he preached and left a beautiful doctrine to be carried out, · by good blacks, good whites, well meaning blacks, well meaning whites. And the black and white youth of America are the ones who will truly be singing "Free at last free at last. Thank God al' mjghty, we are free at I ast. " When Karen O'Neil asked the secretarial trainees in her group to write compositions reeently, Juaruta E. Young submitted this piece on the death of Martin Luther King. She says something 110 important 110 well that her essay demanded circulation beyond a small group of colleagues and teachers. �... ,-v colleague _ l>c ·;o ~ the faculty/ staff magazine -;o state university of new york at buffalo I 3435 main st.

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

Moor beli v s in f ing it: om cad mic:ians f I that prof ion I duc:ation ha no plac in a univ rsity ttin . Face it, he will, but und r tand it, h cannot. "Implicit in this vi w," th Provo t finds " d valuing," not only of th ducationist but al o of the purpo and outc:om of public ducation- hardly a sound po ition for th who oil th lamps of high r 1 arning. "Wh n univ r ity academicians att mpt to limit th prac:tition rs of ducatlon to non-univ rsity ettin ," h f Is, "th y ar in fac I ning th upply of well due d ch ra." And the "luxury" of und r due t d or poorly trained ac:hers is on which th nation can obviou ly ill afford. Thu , th bed-rock, totally un-s lfcon c:ious commitm nt of the F culty : " ound academic pr par tion for chers." End of that di cu ion - beginning talk about what's going on in· th former School which now enjoys full faculty status compl t with "outstanding opportunities." For open r , th Faculty of Educational Studie is not un war that it is curator of a tradition a old a the company of man. R g rdl s of th I v I of ophi tication nd complexity of a ociety, due tion is on of i basic values. And as a ociety incr in compi xity, due tion must com mor nd mor to grips with th critical social i u of providing more and better educated people from all gments of th community. A • • �THE GOAL IS RELEVANCE 1 To Provost Moore, this is what today's education must be about: "I doubt if we can exist as a hous divided into the educated and nonducat d. Our whole political fabric needs mending by ducated citizens who understand its construction. Such education will come only when the ociety recognizes that the educational tructure must be free to prepare all t he young to live in the future and not just thos who fit the stereotype of a small local community." His Faculty's concern, moreover, extends to the dimensions of education at the University. Educational Studies, Dr. Moore feels, should appropriately be concerned with such campus matters as the Student Senate's c urse evaluation program, the current evolvement of new programs and approaches in University College, the embryonic residential colleges and the increasing general student interest in the many faceted experiences of education. Dr. Moore sees the Faculty seeking radically new philosophical perspectives in answer to such questions as "What is the relationship of education to the dominant and necessary values in our society?" . "tJow can education provide some of the essential unifying force necessary in the immediate and long-range future?" "How can education provide the knowledge and experiences necessary to contend with the emerging serious social pressures?" "How can �2 education insure the melding of th best practices of the past with the extraordinarily n w press tires qf the future?" "How can education provide the necessary knowledg s and xperiences for effectively coping with rapid social change?" The questions suggest a mandate for a whol new philosophy .o f education which "if it i~ to be meaningful must b more encompassmg, profound and ;elevant than mo t of t~e ph_ilo~: qphy which )Ve have had up to this pomt. Trus is an example of what the Provost m ans wherl he points to "opportuniti s." Also providing an outlet for future crea~iv­ ity and innovation is the question of a cons1 tent and thorough science of instruction. Observing that most of today's instructional proceaures are geared to the normal achieving and conforming child who learn easily, Dr. Moore says educatQrs should be more r stle concerning the "large numbers of childr n who do not follow so-called normal patterns." H suggests Jess inclination toward the middle of the curve and more investigations of wh t teaching techniques, which forms of instruc1 tion and which teaching aids will be most effective for most cruldren mo t times. Progre s along these lines has been forged in terms of the mentally retarded, the emotionally and brain-damaged, but the mass of children with more subtle "differences" are yet to be provided for. Technological developments provide furth r important opportunities for the new F culty. Knowledge industries are pouring million of dollars into research which will provide a great deal of stitrtulus and help to the ducator. But education itself must devi concepts of learning and instruction as up-to-date and meaningful a the technology, Dr. Moore indicates. "A member of our Faculty ha developed a fascinating procedure for using a computer-based retrieval system as an aid in the selection of curriculum materials and instructional procedures," he reports in the manner of a quiet challenge to others. That's all fine as philo ophic guidelines for the future, some might suggest, but what about now? Several things. Students in Educational Studies are receiving ever-increasing attention within the Facultyparticularly in the area of student advisement at the point when the student first becomes interested in the study of education-an important step in the creation of an educational "new breed," perhaps. Emphasis is being given to the urban educ tion crisis, though "this is not yet ufficient." ��THE .ISRAELI -SYRIAN By Dr. John S. H Dr. Haupert, associate prof asor of geography, surveys the political · and military ramit\catlone of on phase of the long smold ring Mlddl East bord r dlaputes in this paper which ie based on a presentation made before the New York-New Jer y division of th Association of American Geotrraphere. Dr. Haupert suggqsts that only recOtrnition of lara 1 by Syria can validate any future border agr menta and, thus, promote the chances of co-existence betw n the two tat •· ince World War II, hostiliti s occurring 00. tween states have frequ ntly m n t d from boundary claims arising from th prolonged existence of temporary xpediencie such as cease-fire, armistice, and partition gr ments. These, in turn, may be complicat d further by modern frontier phenomena as demilitarized zones and "no man's lands" wher sovereignty is contested or even non-existent, pending some type of final s ttlement. Lack of agreement as to map series or seal to be used ' by boundary commissions may also further aggravate and postpone boundary settl ments. A prominent example of the interplay of various boundary components was the de facto Israeli-Syrian frontier situation prior to th brief Arab-Israeli War of 1967. This ye r the State of Israel celebrates 20 years of ind pendence. This mall state with an area of only 20,700 square kilometers has f ced security problems of unusual complexity. The Armistice Agreements of 1949, terminating th first Arab-Israeli war, · reimposed the existing subsequent boundaries and superimposed others that delimited demilitarized zones (Figs. 1 and 2). The residual state that emerged from the British Palestine Mandate was exc sively long and narrow because of two indentations on the west bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip projection. The inevitable con quence was the existence of an unusually long and vulnerable boundary of 950 kilometers. Prior to the "Six Day War" in June, 1967, the term "frontier security" had little me ning in the context of Israel's political geogr phy as the entire state was still a frontier ; and the rhythm of national life has always been affected by frequent frontier "incident8!' Open conflicts between Israel and the Arab neighbors have taken the form of brief localized border skirmishes or "retaliatory'' raids into their respective territories as well as three wars of short duration but with far-reaching international implications. In January, 1949, the first Arab-Israeli war ended with the expulsion of invading Arab armies from the Galilee and Hula Valley, the Jerusalem Corridor and "New City,"the coastal S 4 E u �wat r r sources, but comprl nation 1 domain. only 6 per cent of t h THE DEMILITARIZED ZONES ON THE ISRAEL-SYRIAN BORDER 5 fr uently r ulted from der g rding authority in the d mili rized zon even though th two retill d th ir own lands and pective peopl wh n ver thel"i was no occurr nee of military ctivitf B tw n 1951 and 1953, Israel, in repon to th r uir menta for agricultural dev Joprn nt a immigration pr ures increas d, embark d upon two important water projects: th dr inag of t Hul swamp and diverion of the J ord n waters. A Jordan River div r ion project was planned to start near the B'not Yaakov Bridge, which entailed work in th central demilitarized zone. Syria immediately challenged the right of Israel to proceed with such projects ·in ~he zone on the basis of pos ible violation of Arab "cultivation rights~· nd "topographical military advantages" that would be secured by Israel. The Hula drainage project, to reclaim 45,000 acres of arable land, however, I y entirely ou ide the demilitarized zone. The SyriaM op]>Osed an aceeea road to a dr inage canal in the zone affecting about 100 acres of Arab-owned land. The Iaraelia offered compensation to Arab landowners, but after ; Figurel being influenced by the Syrians, the Arabs rejected any settlement. The MAC was therefore confronted with three basic problems in the central DMZ: military advantage, private rights, and sovereignty. In Israel's view, the armistice agreement did not confer upon Syria loCUli 1ta.ndi in such matters. On the other hand, Syria claimed that all parties had equal righta to determine policies relating to the zones. The poaition of Israel and the MAC regarding the question of "military advantage" waa conaiderecl irrelevant becauae of the rep)ationa prohibiting armed forces in the demilltariled IODel. �THE DEMILITARIZED ZONES ON THE ISRAE - SYRIAN BORDER 1949-1967 6 Figure J Both governmen supported an increasing number of claims of Israeli and local Arab farmers for extending cultivation of field cro , and thu many parcels in both the central and southern zones were the object of contention. In the absence of mutu lly agreed-upon criteria on which to base cultivation rights, such as the selection . o~ fields to be included for delimitation, numerous conflicts occurred causing steady deterioration in the security of the fron- tier reas thus und rmining th work of MAC. Th I r li& in isted that ork 011 Hul Proj be r umed after being that the local Ara were inftueneed b1 Syrian to refrain from lUng their ffeeted by the Proj t. On March Sl, Israeli border police temporarily Arabs from the c ntral DMZ and v; ral hou for " urity reai()DI." the next few yean m08t of theM ,_ .....- �w re allowed to migrate into Syria permanently. In April-May, 1951, the cease-fire provisions of th armistice were op nly violated by both countrie with the Syrian occupation of the Arab villag of El Hamma in the eastern cul d sac of the southern DMZ. The Israeli air force retaliat d by striking the village and military position in Syri proper. The conflict escalated with a Syrian incursion into the central DMZ that was terminated by a UN Security Council cease-fire ord r . After 1 51, t he MAC no longer held regular me tings, and in 1960, Israel announced refusal to attend ven the em rgenoy sessions contending that her sovereignty was complete in the d militarizl$1 zon s except for the military re trictions nd certaih aspects of local administtation provided for in the armistice agreemenu. As regards the HuJ Project, I rael, in order to divert worldwide attention away from the Jordan Valley disputes, devised a means of digging a drainag canal without encroaching on Arab lands. Reclamation of the valley was thus completed in 1957. In 1958, the Inaelit commenced work on a hy dro-electric project n ar the B'not Yaakov Bridge in th DMZ designed to di~ert part of . th Jordan River. Although the river flows entirely within lsra l, the Syrians had enjoyed traditional righ of .acces for Jivea1ock and irrigation. The Israelis had visualized this pre-liminary project Q only a part of a eomprehenstve &eheme for the exploitation of the J ordan River to be implemented on a regional b is in cooperation with the Arab States. A Jordan Valley Authot'ity w envisaged by an Am rican emiuary, Erie Johnston, that would allocate waters to the riparian powers. It was anticipated that this plan would be the ba.sis for cooperation and in time would be extended to include m tters of a political nature. Th Syri ns pro ted any unilateral action on the part of th lt~r dis .claiming that an Angh>-Fr ncb conv ntion of 1923, granting water cc right& to the Jordan and Lake Kinneret, would be jeopardized. Israel, however, responded to a Security Council order to cease construction activities for fear of economic anctions by the great powers. Ultimate-ly, the National ater Carrier was placed in operation ·in 1964 for water tranlder from Lake Kinneret to the Negev , Desert without Arab cooperation and ·consent. J urisdietional disputes over Lake Kinneret and the southern portion of the central DMZ involved both cul· tivation and fishing · rights. Several factots have heightened tensions and intensified tears in this area fQr many ·years. On~ was the pbys~ ical !:on1rol exerei&ed by S)'l'ian troops over the 10 meter strip of IsraE!li territocy along the northeast shore of the lake. Prevention of aceess and sporadic firing on fishing and police. boats has invited retaliation in the form of denial of fishing permits to Syrians. Israel's position has been that Syrian rights could be met by means of individual permits issued by authorities in Tiberias as was th(l precedent from the mandatory period. Offers to negotiate . were refused as it might have implied political recognition of the State of Israel. Retaliatory raids increased in kind arid intensity in the late 1950's and early 1960's in ann near the central DMZ from Ashmura to Almagor that prevented any kind of economic and political cooperation. The breach was now complete. Causes of tension and antagonism in the diminutive northern DMZ were similar to those in the central and southern zones with the exception of cultivation rights which were more precisely delimited among kibbutzim and a few Arab smallholders. Incidents have arisen regarding the question of the location of a military patrol track built by the Israelis along the armistice demarcation line (international boundary), but outside the DMZ. Syria's opposition to Israel's water plans motivated the latter to maintain exceptional vigilance in order to pri!vent Syrian access to the River Danthe only source of the Jordan that actually arises -entirely in Israel. The road runs for 5 kilometers along the Israeli-Lebanese-Syrian armistice demarcation line from the Hasbani River to the western limit of the DMZ. The Syrians have consistently maintaifted that the track encroaches into their territory. Efforts to demarcate the international boundary as well as the armistic~ line have been unsuccessful. Confticting views have emanated from portions of the two lines that are not identical and the use of different map scales. Israel and the United Nations have referred to a 1941 British map with a scale of 1 :2500. The Syrians, however, have insisted pn one of 1 :50,000-so that 1 millimeter on British map refers to 2.1) meters on the ground while 1 millimeter on the Syrian map is equivalent to 50 meters. If the Syrian maps were to be the basis of a future boundary settlement, then the Israeli military track and cultivated land of adjacent settlements could be legally contested by Syria. Thus far, the Syrians have been reluctant to insist on a boundary demarcation of the DMZ as tlrls would substantiate Israel's allegation ot pei1J18,nent Syrian militaey positions within the DMZ. ProbleD18 in the southern DMZ have been concerned with an iptricate system of conflieting claims to arable land.

The main sourc of conflict was the contest over fields near a drainage ditch dug by the Bet Katzir settlers on their l nds. In 1960, a serious incident occurred when Isr Ji border police attempted to evict Arab working w t of the drainage ditch, which by then had been interpreted by all as a cultivation demarcation line. Syrian positions on the Golan Heigh at Upper Tawa1ik opened fire and Israeli troops retaliated by demolishing Khirbet Tawafik on the pretense that the only inhabitants w re Syrian soldiers infiltrating the DMZ rath r than peasant cultivators. Once again, the spirit and purpose of the armistice greements h d been violated by both sides. After 1960, the tempo of incidents intensified following the impasse over the allocation of fields to the respective claimants.

The Golan Heights were occupied in an incredibly swift assault on June 9th and lOth, and a cease-fire line was hastily established (Fig. 2) . The occupied area extends about 75 kilometers from north to south and up to 25 kilometers from west to east. Of an original population of 80,000, only 6,400 remained at the end of the fighting. Ninety per cent are Druze farmers with a close affinity with 29,000 Israeli Druzes, but with little in common with the Syrian Arabs. This fact bas led to the speculation that the Druze may eventually play a leading role in settling the Golan Plateau, much of which Israel is almost certain to retain in any peace settlement. Nahal settlements (paramilitary-agricultural) have already been found. ed at Banias and near the regional town of Al Kuneitra (Fig. 2). Since the end of the "Six Day War," the Israeli.-Syrian frontiers and boundaries seem to be a dormant issue in both countries. Israel bas refuted any future validity of the 1949 armistice lines with the complicated structure of demilitarized zones, and has insisted on a definitive peace treaty establishing mutually agreed delimitation of territor.ial sovereignty with demarcated boundaries. The underlying tenet of the armistice agreement was the will of the parties to cooperate in the endeavor to terminate the war and to replace it with a lasting and stable peace. Continued non-recognition of Iarael by the Syrian Arab Republic will certainly invalidate future agreements and doom any' chance of co-existence.

Colleague LIB-UA044 Description An account of the resource By the early 1950s, the University of Buffalo had expanded from a small group of autonomous schools into a modern university with 14 divisions and a central campus. No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

Actually, a whole new g n ration of profe sionals ngaged in opera production care very much . A lot of peopl are tired of swtl.llowing their op rain th sticky in dium of bad theatre. Happily, orne of the e people are among the University's tud nt and faculty, and they're giving what littl op ra thi City has a modern, total theatre look. The December production of Benjamin Brit. ten' "Th Rape of Lucretia" was a case in point. "The Rape" is a work in which music, while paramount, i not the only thing going for it. A number of talented arti t , not all of them mu icians, collaborated with compo r Britten on the opera, and th y, too, left their marks on the work. For example, it has an unusually poli h d libretto by poet Ronald Duncan. In the Buffalo production, the opera's built. in theatrical values - mu ical and extra-musical - were given full play. Scenic deign, for example. Brain-storming before the production, producer- tage director Muriel Heber Wolf hit upon the Sculpture Court of the Albright-Knox as a natural for staging an opera et in ancient Rome. The GaJlery very gracious' ly con ented, even moved several large piece u ' pera: ��of sculpture, and o the tragedy of Lucrece wa played out against a backdrop of great fluted pillars and monumental figures of metal and stone (design was by Met veteran Robert Winkler, who i now in residence in the program in theatre). There were other innovations as well. The most vital was the introduction of two entirely new characters to the cast. These were the Male and Female Dancers, performed by Billie Kirpich and John Crespo with choreography by Miss Kirpich. The dancers acted a alter ego to the central figure , Lucretia, the violated wife of Collatinus (sung by Marlene Badger), and Tarquinius (Laurence Bogue). Written into the opera by Mrs. Wolf, the dancers gave physical expre sion to the dramatic action and something more. By occasionally striking the pose of the statuary in the Sculpture Court (the Male and Female Choru , sung by Dorothy Rosenberger and Warren Hoffer, used this device also), they helped tie scene and sub tance into a neat theatrical whole. The Buffalo music critics vibrated to this organic approach. They had praise for the artistic direction of Heinz Rehfuss and for the quality of· the chamber orchestra conducted by musical director Carlo Pinto, but they also sensed th importanc of oth r th trical in· pu and their bl nding into n ov rail effect. A Tom Putnam wrote in the Courier: "Opera i more than voice , nd it w th di tinct advantag of this production th t ther aa a guiding hand in de ils of cting, 'ng nd cenic effects. . . . " With th t of th t suce s till in th ir mouths, th opera theatr group tried 110mething v n mbitiou late 1 t month. 196 is th ini centennial, and with the Philharmonic, th Univer ity pr ted in Kleinhans two performances of the Sw n of P ro's "Barber of Sevill ," in English, and, in the proud words of their promotional m terial, "fully stag d." Once ag in, d ign wu a function of both sub tance and tting. The mood as commedi dell'arte, totally ppropriate to the comic pirit of the work. Scene d ign r Dougl Riggin (from Yal via Toronto) capitalized on th con· vention of the tr ditional Italian comedy form in overcoming certain production difficulti · The commedia troupes of th 16th, 17th and 18th centuri w r travelling players wh wagons became m k hift stage . The Unive i· ty player had to be able to pick up and mov on, too-the entire t h d to be assembled and �dism ntled fiv tim.es because of other scheduled events in Kleinhans. So instead of elaborate paint d backdrop , the UB singers appeared on a simple platform stage, and set pieces were carried on and off by the players as required. "The Barber" is farce, fantasy, and the artifici lity was heightened in staging. Props were one-dimensional. Maak.-like make-up was devised to suggest the c.onventional commedia figures of Harlequin, Columbine, Pantalone. With "The Barber," too, what turned on the critics was more than fine music, beautifuJiy sung. Ag in in Putnam'a words: "Warren Hof. fer and Laurence Bogue, playing Count Almaviva and Figaro, at one point sing a duet while hanging onto the stage machinery which surrounds the platform stage like a theatrical rib c ge. Bogue sitS down and dangles his foot into the orchestra 'it. William Wagner as Doctor Bartolo· throws some papers to the wind, and they fall ·into the laps of the bassoon players. And Heinz Rehfusa, singing Basilio, leaves through one of the main auditorium's real exit doors, his open. umbrella playing the expected joke. . . . Players lie down on the stage when they are exhausted, falling humor ously ·into human poses.... · "The wonderful thing a bout this 'Barber' is that one cannot get a fair impression of the production from a description of the separate parts. It is unified in a very exciting sense, and one hopes very much that this is indeed the first of many cooperations between the opera department of the University of Buffalo and t he Philhar monic. It means that one more area of the performing arts may get professional attention." Many things jelled to make this production a '.'wonderful thing." The professionalism that Putnam praises was the result of pooling talents and resources from each . of the City's major creative organizations. From the pniversity came the producer, the principal singers (in addition to t hose mentioned above, Rosina was sung by Suze Leal Rehfuss, a mezzo-soprano, and Berta by Marlene Badger, who aPpeared as Lucretia in the Britten opera and · who has herself sung Rosina; Samuel Herr aPpeared as Fiorello), technical director Mike E nglish, and chorus d.i rector Dorothy Rosenberger. Musical direction was the province of the Philharmonic•s assistant conductor Melvin Strauss, who is also on the University staft'. From the Studio Arena Theatre came Allen Leicht, stage director. David Zierk supervised lighting. Carrie Fishbein was costume 4esigner. ��Beyond profes ionalism was the unity of the production, the evidence of a controlling intellig nee beneath the shiny surface, and acknowledgement for that must go to Mrs. Wolf. Th r 's b en a trend toward finely produced op ra here ev r since she made her debut with the May, 1965, production of Mozart's "Magic Flute." J>resently a candidate for an Indiana Ph.D. in opera direction and theatre arts, she holds a bachelor of music in voice from the New England Con ervatory, a rna ter's in muicology from t e Conservatory for her work on the German Lied, and' an artist's diploma from the Vienna Academy of Music. En route to Buffalo sh studied voice and coaching in Vienna, held a Fulbright, won a graduate fellowship to Brandeis, taught at an experimental private school in Arizona, served on the Arizona State College faculty, and was for a time an assistant to stage director Hans Busch at Indiana. She has been involved in non-University stage productions, dramatic and musical, ranging from "Othello" through "Pullman Car Hiawatha" with electronic music to ''The Marriage of Figaro" and "Bastien and Bastienne." urrently she is associate editor of the National Opera Association's publication, The Opera Journal. The future for opera in Buffalo looks almost as rosy as the final scene of Rossini's comedy. As Mrs. Wolf predicts happily in the program notes: ''In the proliferation of arts activity in our community, this collaborative effort - a new phase of opera production in Buffalo is a ignificant undertaking. Moreover, we in the University are in the initial stages of planning and executing an opera program of new dimensions and versatility, ranging from traditional opera to the most avant-garde and experimental theatre-pieces, an opera program committed to the concept of total theatre and to an interdisciplinary exchange among the variou art forms and organizations. Academically, the integration of the young artist and artist-student, logether with the professional performer and scholar, into the University community raises the possibility of new curriculum concepts, combining humanistic studies, professional training, and performance practice. Reciprocally, a community's cultural climate contributive to and fortified by such promising goals wiU stimulate the discovery and development of its artistic resources and provide an environment conducive to professional productivity in opera - indeed, in all the arts as part and parcel of the everyday life of the entire community." �POPULAT IO " ... if we per ist in reproducing like rabbit , mo t a uredly we are all going to die like ,rat . . . . " I Dr. Jack Lippes, assistant profesaor of obstetrics and gynecology, is father of the "Lippes Loop," ~n of the most widely us d intrauterine contra ~ptlv devices. This paper on "Population Control" was presented January 16 in the weekly serl 11 of niversity R ports. ristotle spoke. about population control in his second book on politics. He said that one would have thought that it was ven more neces ary to limit population than property, and that the limit should be fixed by calculating the chances of mortality of the chi!dten and of sterility in married per ons. The neglect of this subject, which in existing tate is so common, is a never failing caus of poverty among the citizens, and poverty is the parent of revolution and crime. Now you could probably paraphrase Aristotle another way. You could say that if we persist in reproducing like rabbits, most a uredly we are all going to die like rats .... Ten years ago, Latin America was the largest single exporter of grain in the world. In fact, ten years !lgo Latin America exported more grain than all of North America and Australia put together. Yet today Latin America is a net importer of grain, in spite of the fact that there have be n tremendou strides in agricultural production, in spite of the fact that Latin America has had U. S. help in trying to improve its agriculture. Ten year ago the per capita consumption of grain in Asia was about 17 ounces per day per person and today the per capita con umption i something like 15 ounces, and this, too, comes to pass in spite again of increased agricultural production. As you know a man lives fairly well on a diet of somewhere between 1500 and 3000 calories. If he has less than 1500 calories per day he dies of starvation and if he ha more than 3000 calories consistently he will still die. So, the difference between the well-fed man and the poorly-fed man is a difference of about two to one-3000 calories to 1500.... India this year will probably have a bumper crop, and we find that it is necessary for the United States to ship to that nation only three to seven million tons of grain instead of 20 million ton . It is true, as Dr. Ewell has A . 1 6 ~ co T 0 point d out, that the world h lr dy witn s d famin involving two or thr million. It ha n v r had !amin involvin a hundr d pl at on million peopl or v n billion m ive tim , but th po ibillty of uch famine now h ng ov r th world. I would probably be th m t colo al catastrophe in II hi tor and would dw rf II th oth r problem which now confront us such Vi N m, Berlin, and perhap even control of th atomic bomb. Th r i n't any doubt in my mind that ov rhungry population lead to hunger nd th peopl make war. So it may be po ibl with on d ci ion for hum nity to rid i If of its two gre t st scourg s--both w r nd hung r. You m y call that ov r-simplific tion but it ha nough of the element of truth th t certainly should confront hone tly th population control is ue. Today we no long r beli v th t birth control mu t follow indu tri liz tion. Hi torically, w w re bl to ob rv that th birth rate went down in we t rn Europe, p rtleularly during th industrial r volution. Now it i r ognized that a country which has population growth rate of thr per cent and who economy is only incr ing t~o per cent i falling farther and f rth r behind in terms of improving the quality of lif for its citi n . What we now hope to s is th pr s of r * ducing the birth rate becom an itu~trument for pe ding up development. And we have rea on to be cautiou ly optimistic th t thi can be don . The Population ouncil h s ju t publi hed the results of national birth control progr m in South Kor a and in Taiwan. South Kor began in 1964 to develop a birth control program with government backing, u ing every mean at its di po 1 in an tfort to teach the people bout birth control. Communication w rna sive. There were spots on tel vision, in motion picture hou , new papers wer used, meetings held, all to idealize the sm U family. Most effective, the Koreans found, and did th people in the Republic of Chin , w the u of home visitors. Both men nd worn n (and this was vitally important) went to each individual vill g , held meetings, vi ited hom and instructed individual coupl first on the value of birth control and then on the variou • techniques. The South Koreans adopted the intrau rine loop as a basis for their birth control pro m. During the past four years more than 750, 00 �of thes devices have been inserted. Taiwan, with half th population of Korea, has inserted ov r 400,000 of th se devices, and today both of thes countries are able to ay that they hav lower d the birth rate. And they have lowered h birth rate ahead of the process of industriali zation. The importance of this accomplishm nt cannot be over-emphasized, becaus this is the fir t time in history that any country has low d the birth rate ahead of the process of industri lization. It is true that Korea~outh Kor a- h a literacy rate of about 50 per cent, but th average income in Korea i only 110 per year. The fact that birth control wa adopted by people living in vill g without lectricity, without telephones, without s wag disposal, with the most primitiv living conditions, suggest& the possibility that Jar~ areas such as India, L tin America, and Paki tan may also be succ sful in lowring their birth rates ahead of th proce s of industri Jization. Succe means that capital now being used to fe d the ever growing population could be diverted to promoting industriaUzation, education, and, in general, supplying a bett r quality of life for those people who ar alr ady born. Pakistan, a country of a hundred mmion people, is in rting intrauterine devices at the rate of 80,000 per month. If they keep this up, and we expect they will, they will have inserted a million in a year. Population control at t his rate mu t in a matter of three or four or five years have a measurable impact on the national birth rate. Pakistan could become the model of a large country able to reduce its birth rate through a national program. India remains the slow giant of birth control programs. For the Indians to do as well as Pakistan, they would have to insert five million loops. I can tell you that the Indians are not doing this. They are probably going to insert something like 800,000 or 900,000 tflis year. Why is India so slow, particul rly when it was first among countries in adopting a national family, planning program in 1952? Originally, India had hoped to achieve population control by use of the rhythm method. Village women were given stone necklaces with which to keep track of their menstrual cycles. The beads were green, red, and blackgr en meant a safe period, red was a menstruation, and black was an unsafe or fertile period. The beads were even different shapes, so the women could count them at night. The women counted them all right. They kept on counting them and throwing them in a circle around their necks until they got to a green bead, and then r.red everything was all right. r r The plan was a failure. Things have happened to India's loop program that have not occurred anywhere else in the world. Health services personnel have been confronted with some interesting problems. The big enemy has been rumors - fantastic rumors. For example, a husband is warned by the village mid-wife that if his wife gets a loop, during intercourse the little wire at the end of the loop will give him electric shocks. He has been warned that his penis will become entrapped in the thread of the loop, he will not be able to disengage, and he will probably have to have his penis amputated. As you can imagine, husbands believed the stories of the village mid-wives and sent their wives back to the clinics in droves to have their loops removed. The mid-wives were afraid of losing business if the birth control program succeeded. They were not, of course, mid-wives in the English sense, women who are trained nur es like those American nurses who work in the Kentucky Frontier Nursing Service. These are village mid-wives who use camel dung and sit on abdomens to help the process of birth, but they nonetheless carry great respect in their villages. It is interesting that one American drug company en~ouraged some of these rumors and added a few of its own and, for the same reason, fear of the loss of business, fear that if a national birth control program in India were successful with intrauterine devices this would hinder the sale of birth control pills. orea and Taiwan have begun using pills. The price is down now to 13 or 14 cents per month. and they hope to get it down to ten or 11 cen&. The pill is being used as a backup technique to the loop when the intrauterine device cannot be ·worn by the mother. Some 20 per cent of women will discontinue use of the loop because of expulsion, pain, or bleeding, and then these women are placed on pills. I must say that the pill program has shown a disappointing continuous use rate, an important factor in any successful birth control program. In the first ten months of using pills in Taiwan and Korea, only about 38 per cent of the users are still taking the pills as originally prescribed. Even among those taking the pills, there has been a significant pregnancy rate due to an irregular ingestion of the pills. Nevertheless the pills are very effective, as you know, if taken as prescribed. The intrauterine device carries with it a failure rate of about one per eent a year, one pregnancy per year although in the first year the figure is a little higher. It is my opinion K 7 �that IUD backed up by pill provid nough technology to de-fu e the population bomb. In other ·words, we have already enough contra. ceptive technology available to do th job. I do not mean to ay that research on reproductive physiology should stop. It certainly should continue and it sur ly will. But the point i that now the problem of promoti ng birth control i not a technological one so much a it is a sociological one. The pt·oblems involv d are behavioral. ake th United tate . In the nit d ' State . there are birth control d vic , available in every drug tor , and th r is a· drug store on just about v ry corn r. The e drug stor s have an inventory of all kind. o( things. They're tocked with condoms, pill , diaphragms, jelli s, foam , you name it. But the United State has a population growth rat between one and two p r cent, probably 1.7, and this is still a pretty good population growth rate, not as high, of cour , as India, or th countries of Latin America, or Egypt or Turkey, but it is still fairly high. The reason for it is not a lack of technology. The reason is 1 that the average American couple i choo ing to have between three and four children in t ad of choosing to have between two and three. Thus, if we want to try to get a table population in the United States, we have to convince the average couple to choose to have betwe n two and three children instead of a larger family. There are ways to do thi . We could idea liz the small family, we can acquaint mother with the advantag s of birth control to hers If and to her family. One of the techniques that could be used, if we really wanted to promote it hard, would be legal suasion. I don't mean by this compulsion, but just making it attractive to have a smaller family. For example, one wonder what would happen if our income tax laws were amended so that there were no further deduction allowed after the third child. In a recent issue of the Milbank Memorial Fund Qu4,rlerly, J. William Leisure raises another interesting possibility in an article entitled "Some Economic Benefits of Birth Prevention." He notes that the birth rate is higher among the indigent in the United States, the poor, mainly because they lack birth control services and education. Of cour e, the first priority i to educate the poor in the name of justice, and then let's give them health services, including birth control. The government might consider paying some of the people on welfare not to have a third child. Survey show that most of the e people would prefer to T 8 hav , mall r famili than th y r actu lly having. To pay th m n t to have a third child mak s a good d al of conomlc ns . Worn n ug d 15 to 1 with two childr n hav a .334 probability of having a third child in th n xt y ar. Dr. Leisur calcul t d on th b sis of current welfar co t that th s ving to th taxP• y r of a birth pr v nt d mount to approximately 3,187.00 p r birth . P ym nUl m d over a p ri d of y ar t th moth r who ha no additional childr n would be no xtr burden on th ta pay r , becau had h becom pr gnant, she would hav n p id through on of our id to D p nd nt hildr n Program or thr ugh W !far . Unlik th curr nt sy t m of w lfar support, thi sch m would giv worn n mor incom without th addition of childr n and could not b r gard d, how v r incorrectly, a primarily an incentiv to h ve childr n. The payment should be interpr ted a an fl'ort to nabl famili to hav more time and mor money to s nd on th exi ting childr n who, as a con equenc , will hav a gr ter lik lih od of I aving th ranks of th r . Such a program will enable the childr n alre dy born to r c iv : I) more food, clothing, and sh Iter; 2) more medical nd d n 1 care; 3) perhap mor personal ttention from their par nt , and 4) formal due tion for a mor exten iv p riod. It would nabl th childr n of the poor to rec ive during th hool- g y ars some of the benefits enjoy d by th middle cia . The expenditures, th refor , can be r g rded a an investm nt in people a no additional co t to the taxpayer. A simil r sugge tion was mad in May of 1966 to the government of Indi . In India, worn n are allowed a maternity 1 av durin which th y r c ive additional ration and monY following th birth of th ir b by. The recommendation there was that uch mat rnity I v could be paid for th fir t and th second child but perhaps only h If the payment should be paid for the third child and no paym nt for th fourth child. AI o, payments could be m d to the mother if sh wer not pregnant for a fiveyear period. Indi has now elimin ted the maternity lea e payment after the third child. We can achieve the ideal family ize or clo to it through legal means. One very simple I gal thing we could do in thi country if we wanted to lower the population growth rate is to legalize abortion. Hungary and Japan have th lowest population growth rat s in the world, well under one per cent per annum, nd both th countries have done this primarily by 1 Jizing abortion. In Jap n, there are probably 2'h mil- �lion I gal abortions p r year. Japanese conomic . uccess i. nothing hort of fanta tic, recording eco nomic growth per y ar of ight to ten p r c nt. Of cours , we cannot attribute all of Japan's conomic ucc s to it low population growth rat . Hungary, which al o has a low population growth rat , ha n't done n arly as w II a Japan . Birth control doesn't fill any em pty stomachs. ' In a stab) society other input , industrialization and ducation, for examp) . ar: equally needed. But without birth control none of th i po ible. You can divid the t chnology of birth control into thr e groups: the ancient m thod of withdrawal (witidrawal probably carries a pr gn ncy ra of about 35 . to 40 per hundred worn n In a year; douching, another ancient m thod, re ults in abou 45 pregnancies per hundr d worn n in a year), abortion (one hundr d p r cent ffectiv in pr venting births), and th various modern m thod . In the latter group r th traditional d vices uch as the condom n.d the diaphragm, diaphragm plus j lly (th lat r carries a pregnancy rate of 14.4 pr gnanci s per hundr d women per year). W peak, by th way, in contraceptive technology, of a hundr d women per year, a term comparable to th "man hour," ay. The condom accounta for about 12 pregnancies per hundr d worn n p r year. Rhythm give you about 38 pr gnanci per hundred women in a Y ar. By th way, if you had a hundred fertile worn n and th y did nothing to prevent conception, at th nd of a year there would be 110 pregnancies ( m of the women would have thr e or four mi carriage ) . I should ay, however, that well-educated, w ll-motivat d women u ing something like a diaphragm and j lly do much better than the e figure would sugg t. At Johns Hopkins, when r archers u ed post-graduate students as their ubjects, they found they could get a pregnancy rate of 3.7 per hundred women in a year using a diaphragm plus jelly, and that's r lly pretty good contraception. But again, it had to be u ed by the well-motivated. One wonders why these traditional methods are o much mor• effective in educated hands than they ar in the hands of the poor, or rather th poorly educated. Perhap a.s one philosopher aid, "The only poetry a poor man knows is in his bed," and anything which interferes with this poetry . will be rejected. You only have to u your imagination a little bit to the dr wb clcs involved in the use of a device uch as the diaphragm: the spirit of love enter a bedroom and the wife then says to her hu band, "Stop," and has to open up a night table, take out a compact, undo the compact, t~ke out the diaphragm, reach back into the ntght table: take out a tube of jelly, take the cap off the Jelly, put the jelly in the diaphragm, and then hold it up and say to her husband "Darling, do you think there is a teaspoon and a half in there?" Sometimes jellies and foams are u ·ed independently, and we find that in average hands these foams and things carry a 30 per cent pregnancy rate. Finally in the third group and coming to th el'a of modern contraception, are the pill and the intrauterine device. The pill if properly taken is very close to one hundred per cent effective. The intrauterine device carries with it about a one to two per cent pregnancy rate, probably closer to one. (At this point in his report, Dr. Lippes showed a series of slides.) ere is a review of the more popular intrauterine devices from the National Committee for Maternal Health, now part of the Population Council. An eminent bio-statistician, Chris Tietze, ran this study, which involved some 31 institutions in the United States and some 28,000 women. You can see the pregnancy rates here. The spiral had a little edge over the loop in preventing conception. When it came to expulsion, however, the spiral had a 20 per cent rate of expulsion, which was much too high, and it also had the highest rate of removal for bleeding, which ·s our most troublesome problem in dealing with intrautetine devices. There was a nine per cent incidence of expulsion of the loop in this national study group, but the actual number of women who discontinued the method because of expulsion is much lower. You see, if you take that nine per cent who expel, you can probably reinsert a second device. The second time around some 25 per cent r;night expel and if you take that 25 per ceni and reinsert a third device, some 65 per cent will expel it. Nobody at our center geta more than three devices. But if you insert a second and third device, you'll find that in the first year only two or three per cent of the women will discontinue use of the IUD for the reason of expulsion. In studies at the Buffalo Planned Parenthood Center we found that the incidence of loop expulsion is much higher the first year than it is in any subsequent year. A similar drop can be seen in all areas. In other words, the longer the woman wears an IUD the more likely she is to retain it, the less trouble she will have with it, and the less likely she is to beeome pregnant with it. H 9 �10 (Next slide.) This gives you a r vi w of many of the birth control method now nvailable with their side eff cts. As you can c, the pills have the greatest number of sid trects, and the intrauterine device is second. The pills ca~se all sorts of things, nau a, skin pigmentation, dizzines , a nd depression. I don't e rhythm here, but rhythm ha the f west sid effects really, except that people worry about getting pregnant with it. The diaphragm and the intravaginal methods, condom and jellie , of course, have very few sid effect . With th intrauterine device, the main thing that bother us really i bleeding - irregular potting and bleeding. (Next slide.) These are the contra-indications to the contraceptive technique. The list under pills comes right off the drug com. pany's own literature. No one hould use pill who has had a clot in her leg, which is thrombophlebitis, or emboli m , clot which ar thrown off and have landed somewhere els , usually in the lung . Any di ease entity which causes fluid retenti on would be a contra-indication to using pills. So heart di ea , kidney disease, liver disea e, impair d vision, xophthalmos, and a few other thing , epilep y and migraine headache , for example, all of the e could well be contra-indications to u ing pills. 1 The intrauterine device cannot be used if there is a recent history of infection. We usu ally don't like to give it to girls who have nev r had a baby. If they have had heavy periods we don't like to give it to them becau e the ' intrauterine device will increa e bleeding. One thing is peculiar to the intrauterine device and that's repeated expulsion. Rhythm and the diaphragm have practically no contra-indications, really (in some cases, the pelvic supports can't hold a diaphragm). (Next slide.) Thi shows you what happen in a large-scale population control program. At first, the intrauterine device seems to get the big play in acceptance (this is in Puerto Rico). then the pills. You start satisfying the older women with four or five kids with intrauterine devices, and then you find the curve starts to drop. The number of intrauterine device being accepted drops and the number of pills moves up. That is because as the program continue , you begin to get younger mothers in, and the younger mothers prefer to have the pills because they feel that they can di continue them any month they wish in order to have another baby. Whereas, they view the intrauterine device as a semi-sterilization. They know it's reversible but they're more interested in using of th ir f mili s than to pac them. ( !ide nd .) mong futur m thod ar compounds which will pr v nt th nidation of an gg which i. air ady f rtiliz d. W can air ady do this with compounds now av ilabl uch as stilbestrol and larg d of strog n. drugs How v r, in I rg do , both of th produc nau a, and o if you administ r larg do y u'r bound to m k a woman v ry ick. till, in th ca , ay, of rape of a young girl, you could giv h r a sing! dos of stiltrol - a larg qu ntity nd you could pr vent th implantation of n gg. I hav littl doubt in my mind that w 'r going to s compound . John Me lain Mormor of th ris at Yal nd Grace Van W g n n ar working on compound of this natur . In f w year , I am sur , we will hav vailable to u an anti -nidation compound. In addition, ther i a group of ph rmacologist in Sw d n who have d v loped a pill which is an abortifaci nt. It is surprising th t we n v r have had a c mpound of this n tur that is truly effectiv , but th Sw d s now have s uch a compound which is k n in th fir t two or v n thr month of pr gnancy and produc an abortion, at least in om lowr animals. Th n th r are the contrac ptive m thods u ed by mal s. We did have th group of compound d velop d from th dinitropyrols which pr vented spermatog n is. As you know, it ke about ven days from the b sic germin I epith lium to th matur sperm tozo - for the mature permatozoa to dev lop o that if w had a ph rmacologic ag nt which in rfered with spermatogenesis, m n would only have to tak th drug one a week. Such tabl ts were developed, but the big di dvantag that if the man took a drink of lcohol hi y became red, and ther wer other toxic sid effects. But there is little doubt in my mind that we're going to branch off into other compounds which will provid methods that men can u , and ther is really no r ason why the man can't take some of the responsibility of birth control. Vaccines are being worked on, but whether or not they can be rever d i the big qu tion. It may be possible to make women dev lop antibodie against men's sperm tozo , nd cer inly in guinea pigs w have been able to develop om chang s in the epithelium which produc s sperms in the testis. Rabbits, at any rat , eigh or nine months after such an injection have been able to demonstr te that they can recover. We still haven't had the nerve y t to try this A �on people, and s how fl'ective a vaccin can h and wheth r it would b r versiblc in all men . W do hav some inj ctions now made up of h sam compounds as th pill . In a beeswax m dium and inject d in large dos s of half to on gram, thes compounds give anywh r from ix to ight month of protection for a woman with one si ngle inj ction. Here th probl m is on of irr gular bl ding. Once u woman ha r ceiv d an inj ction, the drug ent rs her syst m in an irregular fashion, and her periods are totally unpredictable. She may have no p riods for eight to ten months and, on the other hand, she may get periods two to thr t m s a month and lasting anywhere from one to t n days. Of cour , this has been , n objection to thi method. W hope, in the near future, to have these t roids embedd dHn silicone plastic. This has n tri d in monkey . You make a hoUow tube and you can inject as much of the drug as you w nt. The silicone method has an interesting property. Fluids travers th silicone, and the drug will I k out from uch a capsule slowly, in mall quantities each day. We have certain potent steroids now that even in small do will prevent pregnancy. In the monkey, they hav prov ri quite succeMful. We find, however, that whil this does prevent pregnancy, it is not one hundr d per cent eff ctive - there is wo to three per cent failure rate. With these silicon plastics, you can put them in a long pla tic tube and with a larg crook or needle simply injec it und r the skin. This is what w hope to do, nd the first clinical trial will prob bly go into effect sometime this year. The silicone pi tic is dosed now to Ia t one year but, theor tically, we could make these plastic capsul s large enough to hold enough drug to take care of a woman for five years or ten year , if nece ary. And, anytime he wants to r v r th effect, a small incision can be made and the tube removed, strictly an office procedure. This obviou ly holds gr at hope for population control. We ar lso working on better intrauterine devic . We've us d gum ilicone for intrauterine devices which ar very smooth and poli h d and, we think, decrease the incidence of bl ding. We are also working on stiffer intrauterine devices to decrease the incidence of expulsion. Other tectJlniques are being tried in ronjunction with the intrauterine device. For example, r searchers are em)>edding certain rugs into the intrauterine device so that it has Joe l effect on the uterus itself. The drug \Cls to prevent conception and makes the device ne hundred per cent effective. W e now have better techniques for performing abortion. The Russians and the Red Chinese, the Yugosl11vs, the zechoslovakians, have been using an apparatus that acts somewhat like a vacuum cleaner. A small bore diameter t ube is inserted into the uterus and can empty a pregnant uterus in a matter of one or two minutes. I watched a series of these being done in Prague, Czechoslovakia, and the technique is really remarkable. The blood loss is less than 100 cc. per patient, and the whole operation takes only 2-3 minutes. I always feel that the most compelling reason for anybody to adopt birth control is the value to the child. The spaced child weighs more at birth. The spaced child goes farther in school, has a higher IQ, is less likely to be anemic . The spaced child has a better chance for survival, and, in general, faces life with all kinds of advantages denied the unwanted and unplanned child. The United States Public Health Service recently published a survey of all counties in the United States reporting infant mortality. The infant mortality rate records those babies that are born alive but die during the first year of life, the number per 1,000 live births in any given area. They found that two per cent of American counties (56 counties) had particularly high infant mortality rates. The infant mortality rate in those counties correlated negatively with the availability of birth control services. Those counties that provided birth control services to all residents had the lowe t infant mortality rates and those counties that provided the least quantity of birth control ervices had the highest infant mortality rates. When we analyzed this a bit further, we foun'd that the teen-age mother has a high infant mortality rate and the mother who has more than four children has a high infant mortality rate, and it didn't matter about their incomes, by the way, we weren't comparing low income with high income groups. When this was broken down within the income group, we found that those who space their children had a low infant mortality rate, and that the people who didn't space their children, regardless of income, had a high infant mortality rate. These infants died from prematurity, and they died from unexplained crib deaths. So you see, if you believe as I do, that a human life is somet hing beautiful and sacred, you can appreciate that it should be planned. And if you want to improve the quality of life for the children who are born, one very simple and obvious thing to do is to provide bit:lh control services for everybody. 11 �Th'i.~ unexpected goodi arrived just b for deadline. D1·. Plotkin, an assistant p1·of ssor of English, is directo1' of g1'adttate admiss-ion in English. G~ AMES ~sEMINARIANS ' PlAY By FrederickS. Plotkin he most recent vogue in popular ociology b ing a discussion of th variou gam p ople play in the ordinary gatherings of thi life, it eemed .wise to continue the anaJy. sis into the corridors of this center of divin knowledge and communal life. Th following is a brief list of some of the games ob erved in thi institution. Prot stopoly. This imple game is play d \ m6st frequently in the Rathskeller. It con i of the salvation hi tory of prote ts in which one has participated. The player choo e an opponent he wishes to defeat, and an agent through whom he operate . The agent should be one who is easily convinced; fir t of all, the player casually recounts his personal hi tory of involvement to the agent. If it is well done, the agent will be immediately overawed. "How brave of you to risk your schola tic future in a protest against the admini tration of this minary." With thi per onal testimony to the player's radical theology in action, the opponent is thru t into a dilemma : either h must emulate the fine example of the player, or h must commit hi public faith to an acknowledged individuali tic pietism. Should he choose the latter, the player cannot count this a victory. The danger is that the opponent may have hi own impressive alvation history which will hame the player's own; but, as in all matters of life, ri k is implied. A variant of this game, played in many other eminaries, i called, Were You There? The allegorical context is a trip to Damascus, and the action i a recounting of one's personal theophanic conversion. For victory, the hearer must immediately declare that he has not been saved; but T 12 . hould he fall to th arth, conv rt d on the spot, th pi y r arn an xtra tar in his crown. Th obbl . Thi gam i mor intriguing to advanc d minari n ina much as it r v Is th player' int llectual acum n. Th m thod of play is basically th same as Prot 1topoly, though this gam has th additional featur of being p rfectly adaptabl to divers location such as th ann x , th dorm , and minar room . The play r begins with an a tract mono! gu , using very th ological 0-K term. The skillful play r will inv nt new 1 nguagecontorting jargon a th monologu continu s. The conclu ion of th monol gu i highly specific and extr m ly concr te conclusion which challeng our ev ry notion of God and alvation and what it is about. The object is to place the opponent in a dil mma: if, on th on hand, h must dmit h . does not und r tand the monologue or its implications, h i in d with the stigma of ignominy for the dur tion of th gam . gain, the danger is th t the opponent may be facil with th u e of obtu language and may r fute the original contention with ven gr ter concr te ob curity. The a tute player, therefor , choo hi opponents with car ful discrimination. If the topic of the diatribe is that of ecul r or eccl i tical reform and if it u e ceepted contemporary jargon, the argument n d not be cob rent and mu t never be practical or re li tic. Th u of reform terminology pr uppo its compl te relevance. Music students play their own variant of the game, th ubj t m tter of which i inv riably focu d around th i u of polyphonic in liturgy. "God is Dead" tud n �al o njoy this gam , although they typically do not admit the fact that their presuppositions make the playing of theology somewhat difficult. Their form of the game is p.roperly called: bble. Worjong. This, the most esoteric of games eminarians play, fulfills the mi ion strategy of pluriform structures. Morning chapel, afternoon chapel, evening chapel: aU are unique. But far and away the most interesting is evening chapel. In this version, there are absolutely no rules, no location of play is considered acrosanct, no theological presuppositions are required, and only a tangential relationship to that which is usually caJled worship is necessary. The object is for the player (the leader of wor hip) to do something new and different which overcomes the brokenness of our lives (or at least expose.! this) and makes us open for healing (however the player wishes to detine this). Victory is determined by the congregation's reaction. If they sit placidly through th postlude (that is, if they are willing to continue in the eminary faith that the postlude i as sacred as the prayers) , it is a defeat. If even one person says, "A fine service, I enjoyed...", it is utter annihilation. If, however, they leave perplexed, this m.e ans that they have been confronted by the kerygma, and the player may henceforth consider himself an authority, par excel-lence, on leiturgia. To use, on the onEl hand, traditional rites is to commit a foul, and means that the player bas sacrificed all future chances of playing this game; to do this in a "relevant" way, on the other hand, while unimaginative, will earn the respect of a few at least. Yet, theologians-in-becoming must never fall into the numbers trap; to make this mistake is to commit the unpardonable sin. The attractiveness of this game is its communal nature; it opens the possibility of defeating several people simultaneously. Perhaps, for this reason, it is that much more difficult to pull off. . Psychesi. This game also may be played anywhere. It presupposes nothing in the way of knowledge other than a devout belief in the psychology of group dynamics. In the midst of a discussion on any topic, indeed, even in the midst of another game, the player attacks his opponent by asking, "Why did you say that?" or "What has this to do with my' being?" or, even more devastatingly, "Why did you ask that question at this time?" It makes no difference whether the topic was personally related to the player or not. There is no possible response to the question that can defeat the player. Just asking the question is victory. To ask the question again, however, does not give one a victory1 There is only one victory per session, and · tfiat to the person who asks the question first: The danger of. this game is that since seminarians enjoy ' nothing better than a discussion of this sort (that is, about themselves), once it has begun it is difficult to control. The prudent victor having begun the discussion, disappears quickly, leaving the annihilated to lick their wounds at their own leisure. Quite naturally, existentialists and religious psychologists are drawn to this game. A variant may even take the form of an essay. �( JHt f'Ol '.\'/J l TION Of PHE OMENOLOGY ........ 1•.,...4-' tlo \ll ... '- H• \ books ...

Harper & Row, Publishen, New York, 1967. 888 pages. What is the nature of creativity, and why is man creative? How is the creative person able to maintain a continuing flow of freshness and vitality? Can tests me sure originality? Do our society and educational system support the creative person! What kind of home best encourages creativity? In search of answen, Dr. Razik and his colleague have selected from more than 4200 sources, papen by innovators and researchers in the field, literature which, until the publication of this book, has been available only in professional journals. Contributors represent several different fields: genetics, psychology, child development, art, anthropology and education. From the vantage point of his specialty, each of the contributors sheds light on a particular facet of the central concept. Cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead, for example, discusses the impact on the creative child of the school as it is constituted in America today. Psychologist A. H. Maslow links the concepts of creativity and self-actualization. Welding the entries together beyond simple propinquity - is the contributon' common belief that creativity should be, in the editors' words, "publicly defined, located, com pared and related to other phenomena so that it can be recognized and sy tematically cultivated." Dr. Razik was born in Egypt, where he received degrees from the College of Fine and Applied Arts and from the Higher Institute of Education. He earned his Ph.D. at the Ohio State University.

In this study of one school district' implementation of the Su· preme Court's recent rulings on religious practices in the public schools, Dr. Johnson explor s a critical area of the little-known country that Jiea between statement o! policy and execution of it.

AadJeuen . 1 3 5 10 14 16 p v I �-• • 1 The Navy plan ·co Mists of three stage : (in Time's cap ule description) " First, each patient is given a basin, a toothbrush, a small cup of pumice paste containing stannous fluoride, and a five-minute lecture on how to proceed. He brushes hi teeth for te11 minutes. Next, be is plopped into the dentist's chair. A technician spends three to five minutes air-drying his teeth and applying a ten per cent stannous fluoride solution. Third, the patient gets up to 15 minutes of instruction in how to make daily use of the stannous fluoride toothpaste which �( 2 . I the Navy recommends." This plan, which was developed by Dr. G orge W. Ferguson, chairman of the University's Operative Dentistry Department and a recently - retired Navy captain, promises such a aving in both dollars and man-hours that the Navy is committed to 48 centers devoted entir ly to preventive dentistry, including one huge cylindrical affair already in operation dockside in Newport, Rhode Island. The University Health Service program is a variant of the Navy plan, made voluntary and otherwise humanized, adapted to the contingencies of campus life, and, particularly, modi.fied so as to greatly increase emphasis on home care. Dental Section Director George Goldfarb outlines the procedure to be followed here : ."Students, in groups of eight because of space limitations, will hear a short, illustrated talk on the importance and techniques of preven, tion. They will then be urged to undergo a rigorous dental examination, including X-rays. Those students without acute disease (which must be controlled before undertaking a program of prevention) will be invited to continue in the program. Finally, participants will have their teeth cleaned with fluoridated pumice by a dental hygienist, who will also give each stu,dent a topical fluoride application." Home care is the real key to a successful program, says Dr. Goldfarb. He views home therapy as a three-part process. Step one is effective br~shing with a fluoridated toothpaste. To de~ermme whe~her brushing is effective, periodic use of a disclosing tablet is advised. Disclosing tablets, which can be obtained from the dentist and are also available a a "special offer" from a leading toothpaste manufactur r c~ntain harmles~ food coloring which dyes un: d1stur~ed bactena colonies bright red. Because bacteria usually lurk clo e to the sensitive gu:ffiline, Dr. Goldfarb advises use of a soft. brtstle }:>rush. An electric toothbrush is recommended for older or disabled persons. . St~p _two is regular use of dental floss. Purtsts ms~st on unwaxed floss, but Dr. Goldfarb finds th_Js frays miserably in the hands of ·nonprofessiOnals. Step_ three is diet control. Restrict carbohydrate. mtake, but, most important, stop the noschmg between meals. Dr. Goldfarb warns f~culty m?thers of the dangers of that perenmal ·favonte of pre-schoolers, the mid-day pea~ut bu~ter-and-jelly sandwich-not only are the mgred1ents carbohydrate-rich but the peanut butter cements them to the teeth. Dr. Goldfarb further recommends a yearly topical fluoride application for all adults nd mor frequent tr atments for individuals with a high caries ind x. Topical application are of value v n in tho ar as wh r water up. pli s ar fluoridated . (Dr. Goldf rb no -Jn this connection that the effect of w t r flu ri. dation is not f It for approximat ly eight y ar and th t th Amh rst wa r supply ha only r cently be n fluorldat d.) All interested students will ventually be accept d into the pr gram on a fir t com first s rv d basis. At this stag , how v r, priori must be given to health scien s stud n , ticularly tho enrolled in the chool of ti try. Dr. Goldfarb beli v 8 that giving preference to dental stud nts will hetght n the program's s ding effect, that futur d ntie who ben fit from the program wiU som d y inatrud their own pati nts in m thod of pr ve.ntion. One factor now limiting enrollment is t deBtal action's small staff t pre ent, th, program is a part. tim r spon Jbili y for Dr. Goldfarb , Dr. Grant Phipps, Dr. David W. J huston, and Dr. Donald G. Biss U, Jr., who are ssi ted by a half-time hygienist, Mra. ill Senzer. Dis emination will be encourag d in other ways. It is hoped that non-professional wtieipan , happy with their own improvem n iU convert their classmates, famm and even their home-town denti ts. After pro UJl is in full swing, it may be u d as demonstration clinic in continuing dental ducatio:n program for practitioner who completed ir professional training befor the fluoride olution of 1960. The program is housed in 1,200 qu re f of newly conv rted space on the ond ftoor of Michael Hall. Made possible, ce<>rdinr to Goldfarb, by the commitment to to l healtb care of University He 1 h Service Director Paul F . ~off'man, the dental wing include adminll,. trabve offices, a waiting room, examination and treatment rooms, and a darkroom. EquipinUl at this stage is mostly used Dental School, bat a grant pplication with a he lthy allow for the most modern equipment has been 'rnJde. Decorating plans c II for such innovatiom u a non-institutional waiting room, something pop and plea nt. "The ide ,'' say Dr. Goldfarb, "is to maJrll the students want to come back." How can tay away? The program requires a rntnu.l personal investment in what TV baa tanpt to call "a conscientiously appUed progr&JD 4 oral hygiene." And the reward is v' gua_r~nteed. Their group has 76 per een fl eavttles. p. th �3 AND IF PREVENTION FAILS ... more drastic measures are in order. Dr. Malvin E. Ring, an assistant professor of dental history at the University, describes an historical method for dealing with rampant decay and discovers that the medicine of today owes a unacknowledged debt to yesterday's dentistry: As recently as t he 18th century, tooth decay and pyorrhea were a common scourge, with tre tm nt in the amain part limited to the extraction of the oftending teeth. The few educated dentists of that day strove to replace :mis&ing teeth by the best niMns available, but the were-inadequate and often uncomfortable, e :pecially since no means were yet known for securing an accu:rate impre ion of the dental . \ arch or for fabricating properly-fitting dentures and bridges. As a consequence, what bridges or dentures were constructed were the result of arduous hand.:.work using a variety of materials. For example, one of several sets of dentures constructed for George Washington was a combination of hippopotamus ivory, wood, gold plate, rivets, screws, elephant ivory, human incisor teeth and steel springs. They �. \ 4 weighed cl e to thre pounds. No wond r that Washington was so tortur d by th m that h couldn't ke p them in his mouth for any length of time. Thus when Gilbert Stuart came to paint Washington' portrait h found th Pr . ident without his teeth. Failing to persuad h1m to wear them, the arti t r sort d to tuffing .Washington's cheeks with ab orb nt cotton which gave him th benign, grandmotherly appearance characteri tic of th Stuart portrait . . . It wa because of problem uch as th that 18th-century dentists fir t attempt d tran · planting sound te th from one per on to an' other, the first instance in health science hi · tory of human organ transplant . This pr ctic came into vogue in the middle of th s venteen hundreds and reached it zenith at the clos of the century. That thi procedure wa fairly popular i attested to by the many cartoon of the day dealing with the subject, uch as the 1783 example by Thomas Row! nd on r pro,duced here, as well a by reference in dental literature of the time. Pierre Fauchard, the Father of Modern Dentistry, deals at length (and somewhat optimistically) with the que tion of tran plantation in his epic Tr atise on T eth (1726): "it is not at all fabulous to speak of a ucces ful tran planting of a tooth from one mouth into another . . . . We ee it in our daily experience that teeth transferred from the jaw of one person to that of another grow fast and remain firm and without chang and fully perform all the requirements . . . . This operation has o frequently been successful that I am surpris d that some practitioner hould pronounce it as impossible." The great English physician-dent! t-anatomist John Hunter devot d an entire chapter of his Natural History of the Human Teeth (1771) to the subject of transplants. He tell how he first experimented by tran planting a sound tooth drawn from a living person into the thick part of a cock's comb, having ·made an inci ion with a lancet. Several months later the cock was killed and upon examination Hunter found that "the external surface of the tooth was everywhere attached to the comb by ve el similar to the union of a tooth with the gum and socket." He then goes on to describe human tran plants, recommending that the tooth to be transplanted come from a young healthy ·person because "the principle of life and union is much stronger in such than in old ones." Tooth donors, principally poor person in need of money, were secured through news- ' paper ~dvertisements. A New York paper of 1772 carried the following notice: r nc English pound, 2 �L I URE AND LIFE-STYLES "Lif tyl ," Dr. Andr a en says arly in this revi w of rearch on consum r life-sty! patterns, "can b look d upon as an allocation probl m: giv n a fixed resource of time, how do diff r nt groups apportion available time aero s variou activities."

D~ s pite thia fact , a syat matic ·review of lif~ tyl r arch ha yet to ftnd ita way into the marketing literature. Th life-atyl concept typically ref ra to th pattern of behaviora, both work and non-work, of groupe identiftabl as to th ir occupation, 110eial claa , plac of r id nee, ethnic background, and th like. Activities considered as a part of life tyl include voting, shoppin , 110eializlng, joining, playing, et cetera. Life-style in one important n can be looked upon as an allocation problem : given a fix d urce of time, ho do differ nt r groupe apportion availabl tim across various aetiviti . The anawer to th a qu tion can yield important. insights into the goals valu a, and preferenc a of various market gmenta and, when viewed historically, can trace important changea in their life-atylea over tim . Such analy a, in turn, can provide u ful bases for predictions of future usea of time and, by Infer nee, futuref consumption patterns. .. . NON-WORK TIME: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Firat, th n, how baa the basic allocation betw n work and nonwork tim changed over the y araT Th mo t oompreh naive historical atucty of time u ia the recent T ntieth Century Fund study of leiaure conducted by Sebastian de Gra:da.' Drawing on earlier work by Dewhurat and hia &IIIOCiatea and recent Cen ua and Labor Stat.iatica data, d Grazi& concludea that be- t.w n 1850 and 1960 the work week for the average American employed male has d lined from 69. to 3 .5 houra or about 45 per cent.. How ver, since the current work-w k ftgur includ s parttim workera and tho who work I sa than a year ( 45 per cent of tb labor fore in 1957' ), and since d Grazia believes the amount of part time work in 1850 to have been slight, he estimates the reduction in the work week for fulltim workera to be closer to 21 .9 hours or 82 p r cent.• Wilensky, however, points out that "in the perspective of several centuries, tim at work increased before it d creased."' Up through th e Middle Ages, the exiatenc of large numbere of holidays and feast days and the frequent pre nee of slav a m ant that workerll' in higher status occupations often had as much as half of the ye r free from formal work. In a more r cent context, he quotes Foura11tie' as estimating that French "intellectual" workers (in courts, ministries, and administrative agencies) worked about 2,500 hours per year in 1800 compared to 3,000 to 3,500 in 1950. Wilensky c:.onclucles that: " ... historical materials suggest a considerable loss of leisure for the high er trata through the ages, although lower white-collar men (e.g., office mes engers, clerks, notaries) have gained since 1800."" Time devoted to blue-collar work increased through the 19th century and then declined. Farm work probably remained constant at a high level up to the twentieth century since when it has been declining.' 1S..butian de Orula.

In the most recent period, as Henle' and de Grazia' nave pointed out, there has been a marked tendency for reduction in work to take the form of an increased number of paid vacations or holidays. Henle concludes that betweerl 1940 and 1960 there has been a net annual increase in paid non-working time of 155 hours for a person employed full-time and that this time represents llh fewer hours per week, 4 days more paid holidays (most of which, however, rep~esenta unpaid non-working time in 1940) and 6 days more paid vacation. De Grazia estimates a gain in vacation, holidays, and sick leaves amounting to 15 days per worker si nce 1860, making the average weekly gain at this point closer to 24 hours per week. While it is agreed by most investigators that - at least since 1850 - there has been a significant reduction in the work week' and an increase in paid time off, it is not wholly clear that this represents an increase in free or leisure time. To resolve this question we must first define some terms. Work (or, more strictly, workrelated) time is clear: it is all time spent at work for pay including full and part-time work on both primary and secondary (moonlighting) jobs as well as time such as travel time necessary to holding these jobs. Given this definition, it is clear that gains in nonwork time available for leisure are overstated to the extent that more workers are now engaged in moonlighting and to the extent that m"'e time is spent by all workers tralveling to and from their jobs. With regard to tl)e former, the Department · of Labor estimates that the rate of multiple job-holding in the U. S. in l966 was 6.2 per cent - 8.1 per cent in agricultural work and 5.0 per cent in non-agricultural work. •• Assuming that there was no "moonlighting" in 1850, this suggests that the gain in non-work time between 1850 and 1960 should be reduced perhaps 30 minutes per week (12 hours per week for 5.2 per cent of the labor force) to account for "moonlight' I bid., p. 34-36. •Peter Henle.

To this point in the discussion, therefore, the net increase in non work-related time since 1 60 is more in the neighborhood of 17 hours per week (about 25 per cent). · It is clear, however, that not all non 1-work~related time can be considered leisu re tim since before one has time "to spare" on mu t take care of a number of tasks necessary to individual and group survival such as ating, sleeping, shopping, housework, child care, and the like.•• The true net increase in leisure thus depends on historical changes in . the allocation of time to necessary non-work activities which is our cone rn in the next section. 6 ALLOCATION OF NON-WORK TIME: PAST AND PRESENT -· -:a •• •• LtiiUTt Present Timt Allocations The moat recent and most comprehensive national time-budget study is that conducted in 1965-66 by Converse and Robin on " for the multinational comparative tim budget project. Basic data for allocation of time to 27 activity categories (the full tudy includes 96 categories) for a single day in the Fall or Spring of 1965-66 are reported in Table 1." A review of the data in Table 1 indicates, first of all, the important effect of sex and employment atatus on time use. The two factors obviously have a major impact on the amount of time available for nonwork-related tasks. As expected, work time is low for jobl s men and housewives (even when one includes education, the "work" of the young who make up a relativea. 11de. Grula, op. <it., pp. 72-75.

Among leisure activities, employ d m n are lik ly to spend more time watching televi:Jion than employed worn n, who appeAr to en a more in 10eial life and conversation. This pattern of televiaion watching al10 holds for unemployed men and women, t.b e former r porting that 15.5 per c nt of their waking houra are apent In front of the TV t (compared to 6.7 per cent for working women). It hould be noted that the data in Table 1 are only for primary activitiea and for this reaaon und ratate tim apent on aucb lei1ure activitie as oonvenation, television watching and radio listening.

S. study with timebudgets developed in a study conducted in the early 1930's in Westcheater County, New York" by Lundberg, Komarovaki and Mcinerny.••.. . . The principal conclusions for the major categories of activities 11 m to be as follows: 1. Work related time for men, as expected, has increased aince the d prenion 30's. Work for women has deelin d, probably reflecting a shift away from long hours blue collar work. 2. With regard to neces ary non-work taaks, people today m to be sleelling less and spending more time eating, on personal care (women) and other activities (including shopping). However, Robinson points out that th ee findings, particularly those relat d to sleeping, may simply reflect an over sampling by Lundberg et a.l on weekends. a. Th impact of television on elsure activities Is major. Aa Roblnaon points out in a separate paper : " . . . television haa had an incredible impact on American dally life. ... perhaps over the laat 50 years the major · Impact of the automobile baa been to •patiaU11 alter aocialllfe. But, It ia televia.lon that unquestionably has revolutionized it tempora.U11.',. The impact of the automobile is not minimal, however, aa In a later compari10n, Robinson concludes that ". . . Americans are indeed spendin more time, perhaps up to 50 minute• more, away from home than they did ten yeara ago.''"'

The increase in the second category, " miscellaneous activities" which includes music and hobbies, perhaps suggests the extent to which the number and kind of leisure activities Americans engage in has broadened in recent years. . . . In the same paper from which the above comparison was drawn, Robinson carries ou~ two other comparisons with earlier data. One comparison is with a study by Sorokin and Berger11 and the other with a study by J . A. Ward for the Mutual Broadcasting Company. 11 A summary of these comparisons and the comparison with the Lundberg et al study just discussed is presented in Table 4. VARIATION IN TIME ALLOCATION ACROSS OCCUPATIONAL GROUPS It is generally accepted that a principal effect of automation, when combined with increases in individual education, will be to shift t he labor force from farm and blue collar jobs toward white collar oceupation·s .r• Within white collar occupations, professionaltechnical and managerial occupations are expected to make the most gains. What, then, are the expected efl'ecta of this upward mobility on life-styles as ex pressed in time use? To answer thftl question, we must turn to current evidence as to the probable association among these variables. A highly relevant investigation in this regard is Wilensky's study cited earlier. Wilensky points out that the historical increases in leisure since 1900 have been in private non-agricultural blue collar work (e.g. mining and manuf~cturlng) and, .Particularly since -1940, in agriculture. "Professionals, executives, officials and other civil servants, arid the self-employed have benet\ted little in increased leisure.''" One important reaaon for this difference between occupations ie that the latter tend to work a full year, while perhaps 50 per cent of the former work ~nly part-time. "PPtrlm Borolda and C. ~.

INl. 7 �It seems likely that present work time for at least one higher status occupational group, business executives, is probably understated. Hecksher and de Grazia found that while their sample of executives spent ·50 hours a week on work ( 7 of which were doing paper work and business reading at home), the executives also sp nt 2.6 hours on business entertaining at home, • 2.8 hj>urs at business-soci I functions outside the hom and a varying 'number of hours on business travel.,. As Wilensky points out, for some, this long schedule may be a ' choice of income (or power) over leisure; for others (e.g. professionals) it may be a requirement of the dccupation.,. A second source of data r levant to this question is Alfred C. Clarke's investigation of relationships between specific leisure activities and occupational prestige for 574 males in Columbus, Ohio. •• Clarke found that the leisure activities most frequently participated in by individuals at particular occupational pl"estige levels were as follows : 8 · "AuJuat He.,kaher and Sebastian de Grazia, "Problema In E•..,ulive Leisure," Hur· rord Bvoi,.eaa R•~. 37 (July-Aucuot, 1969).

Th latter, the only scholarly study of the six-day disturbance to appear to date, is, according to Dr. Besag, "an analysis of the occurrences and causes of the Buffalo racial disturbances of the week of June 26, 1967. The primary focus revolves about tlie per pectives of the participants, onlookers, aucasian and Negro busine srnen In the area, participant police, and Caucasians living in areas immediately to the south and east of the Negro Community. One hundred and thirty-eight interyiews were tran11eribed verbatim to obtain the persp tual statements. Eighty-five of the interviewees were directly or indirectly involved in the disturbances." Again and again in the r port, the events' emotive and connotative dimensions are emphasized through the use of quotations from the taped interviews. In the first chapter, for example, which deals with the actual incidents of the riot, Dr. Besag stresses the variance among news media accounts, police records, and eye-witness reports as to what took place. The second chapter deals with the police and news media and is, s,...... •"On the Riou•• from A Ti-/M Mir•da : A P•o~ogrop•i< E-r "" 1M C..U by Malcolm Eml (pbot....-.pba by Milton Rocovln). Dr. Besag ay , " th rno t hi hly connotativ 11 tion" of all. As xpected, almost universal dissatisfaction with police Is noted among resident interview s. ore 1urpriaing is widespr ad criticism of media coverage and even a suggestion that me TV and pres repre ntativ took active part in th distul"banc . Th third chapter deals ith "Perspectiv s on aus s" or what Interviewees tltougltt er the eau 1 of the riot. Thr separate hypoth • are set forth by tho in rvi wed a to the eaua 8 of th dlatul"bance: "the outside agitator" and "random hoodlumi m" theol"i s, widely h ld by pollc , the pr ss, and white interview , and "the broken prom! " hypothesis articulated by many N groea (Dr. B g theorh: 1 that th r al underlying cause may be the failure for American N 8 of that complex of rewards and opportuniti 8 which is known as "th Arnel"kan dream"). Attitud a are the exclu i" focus of the fourth chapter in which the per pectiv of white and Negro intervi w sharply contrasted. In a final ehap r Dr. B revie 8 this largely attitudinal material, drawing certain conclusions and making 8peciiic r mm ndationa. This is a prejudiced nation, h aays. " Both Negroea and Caucasians have bigotri which hind r th progress of both. Howe er, since th Caucasian world ia the control) cr of tyl of the country, I is th ia orld hlch rnu corn terms with it probl rna.

FEEDBACK Federal Communications Commissioner Nicholas Johnson had this to say about the article. by Bill Siemering published in last month's Collrague : " I can't tell you how encouraging I found a reading of your speech, 'Mass Media and Urban Unrest.' Our very similar analysis and suggestions on broadcasting's responsibility to racial understanding is nothing less than remarkable. But more impressive is your long catalo ue of examples of WBFO's comJll ment to this ideal in programming and policy long into the past. "It is clear after reading your sp ech and looking over your program guides that you are supported by an outstanding staff and have developed together strongly imaginative, varied, and original programs. Your exciting selection of lesserknown classical works, the excellent photography and art work in your program guides, you.r attention to children's programming, your obvioua involvement with the Buffalo community - all speak eloquently of the standards of excellence at WBFO. " I was delighted with your report of your use of neighborhood production centers for your 'People to People' 11eriea. I II:Jll sure that .by this example and others you mspired your fellow b~adcasters ~ the unrealized potenttal of the•r medium. . . ." �colleague the faculty/ staff magazine state university of new york at buffalo I 3435 main st.

Colleague LIB-UA044 Description An account of the resource By the early 1950s, the University of Buffalo had expanded from a small group of autonomous schools into a modern university with 14 divisions and a central campus. No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard.

Th find gan with an inkling Tucker, th n a doc or I candidate at Northw t rn Univerity, fir had back in 195 59, whil h was in London on Fulbright.

"The 16th c ntury date jarred. A dream all gory, 'Garland of Laurel' has greater str uctur l and tonal 4ffinity with Skelton's early work, 'Bou of ourt,' for example, written before 1500, than with his ·pQ!itical sati res of the 1520' . I had a hunch that the poem wa writt n much earlier than Skelton cholars had come to believe." . Dr. Tucker re-read ·"Garland" in Alexa nder tandard edition of Skelton' work ·, Dyce' wh re th t highly re pected Victorian editor dates the work, on the ba i of the catalog of Skelton's poem contained within it, at 1520 or Df'. Tucker omewhat later . Looking further, Tucker found that contemporary critics, notably Skelton biographer Dr. H. L. R. Edwards, used astronomical calculations based ori certain key images in the poem to date the work even more precisely-Or. Edwards maintains that it was composed at a housep* ty at the Castle given over the Chri t mas holidays, 1522-23, by Elizabeth Howard , Count.ess of Surrey. · Tucker assayed again the facts as given by Skelton. In the preamble, the poet states unenigmat ica lly that he "STUDYOUSLY DYUYSED" the poem at "SHERYFHOTTON CASTELL, IN THE FORESTE OF GALTRES." In t he body of the work, he refers to the presence at the Castle of the "noble Cowntes of Surrey." Now as a student of the Howard family chronology, Dr. Tucker knew of no evidence that the Howard were in residence at Sheriff Hutton in 1522-23, Jet alone partying there over hri tmas and New Year's. In fact, at that time, Thomas Howard II, the husband of the Counte s of Surrey, Elizabeth Stafford �A l' tyng my ayght toward th &Odyab, Th ayng 11 xil lor to behold a farr , When ara retl'()fTadant nurayd bla bak, Lord of the yere in hia orbicular, Put vp hie aworde, for he eowd make no arn, And when Ludna pletarly did ahyne, Seorpione a ndyng d gr twy nrne ••• Tile Que~ of Fa;me a;f«f Da;me PGlW.., two /Gflonte• of tile dream ,~, are am01tp tile l4diet cited bfl Skelt01t and rendered i" wood bfl IIi• u'llho""' illut- trator. Howard, was stationed at Newcastle. Tucker was beginning to suspect that if Skelton did, in fact, write "Garland" at Sheriff Hutton, and he claims he did, he did so sub tantially in the 1490's when Thoma Howard I was in re idence there as Lieutenant of the North. If thi be o, the Countess of Surrey in question is not Skelton's last great patrone s, Elizabeth Stafford Howard, but rather a much earlier gentlewoman, the first wife of Thoma Howard I, Elizabeth Tylney Howard. Fine, but Dr. Tucker had a di sertation on Howard not Skelton to get on with. In 1959, he returned to the State and after a brief teaching stint at Colby College joined the humanitieS faculty at M.I.T. With his dissertation substantially complete, he decided to delve into In fact, it w on th b sis of an tr n mieal analysis of this stanza, particularly de nnination of the date of th retrogr ion of ara ( 1. 3) , that Edwards w abl to t tb composition date at J nu ry I, 1523.

Unfortunately, the time of day is not suggested in the stanza. However, if the full moon ("Lucina plenarly") and/ or retrograding Mars were located at Scorpio twice nine or 18° (equivalent to 228°), then they would be rising at sunset. In Tudor times, a full moon could occur in · Scor.pio only between April 17 and May 12, allQwing one day error in determining when the moon is full. If they were able to find an appropriate year with Mars in retrogression between those dates, they would be able to pinpoint the actual date hidden in the opening fitanza. From a check in his own tables, Dr. Ging rich knew that Mars was in retrogression between April 17 and May 2, and in Scorpio, in the years 1463, 1495, 1510, and 1542. Aided by The Book of Almanacs and the Ob ervatory's digital computer, he produced the following table: Marrat Date of Date of Retrogrt.rriO'fl Lo11gituder Full MoO'fl Ftdl Moo11 1463 Mar. 13-June 1 226-208 May 2 2()11 214• 1495 Mar. 20~June 13 237-220 May 8 21h 226• 1510 Mar. 1-May 25 220-201 April 23 15h 207 • 1542 Mar. 18-June 1 280-212 April29 lh 2t8• bater of Geoce1ttric Together, the men analyzed their finding . The first entry was much too early, unle s by some unlikely twist the date could be interpreted as a birth horoscope for Skelton. The fourth entry was 13 years too late-Skelton died in 1629. In 1510, ~ars was no longer in Scorpio at the time of the full moon. In contra t, the 1495 date was extremely promising, since Mar fell very close to 228° on the date of the full moon. Using P. V. Neugebauer's Tafen zur astronomi8her Chronologie, they calculated the lunar position at 6 p.m. (Greenwich meridian) on May 8, 1495. Reading : 228° on the nose. In lay terms, they found that on May 8, 1495, the full moon rose at sunset in close eonjunction with a brilliant first--magnitude Mar both at Scorpio 18°, exactly the configuratio~ Skelton gazes at in the first stanza of hi poem. With this well-substantiated hypothesis in hand, Dr. Gingerich went about casting several horoscopes, using a copy of the same ephemeris which Skelton himself most probably consulted the Ephemerides of Regiomontanus, a 15th cen~ tury collection of carefully calcul~ted planetary positions.for the yearsl475-1506. He found further evidence that Skelton, "with poetic economy," had included all the principal horoscopic I menta for May 8, 1 95, in his a nza. To just one xampl , on that date, Mar is lord of they r nd in conjunction with th moon fn Skelton' lin , th "Lorde of th Y' re . . . Put vp his sworde, for h cowd mak no warre, following, a it wer , th horoseopic injunction that ''Wh n Mars Is in conjunction with the moon, avoid oldi rs and strong m n; f1 from quarr Is" (th Ephemeridu).

Th immedi te r ult is a p per ntltled "Th Astronomical Dating of Sk !ton's •Gar· I nd of Laur I,' " which has n ace pted for publication by th Huntington Libro111 ,. terlJI. Before submitting th ir findings to eol1 gu -at-large, Dr. Tucker distributed copl• of an earlier article, arguing for the 1495 <1. on th basis of tting, to few friend and admired fellow cholars. A University of Wiaeonsin English prof sor wrote back: "It's model argument, generous to the victims and, of course, convincing in itself. I'm always lad to see that kind of articl r th r than the kind that tells us what someone thinks about Ricluanl II." Several notables re ponded as well. A. L. Row e found the article "convincing." And from Majorca came this from poet Robert Grave : "Thanks a Jot for your Skelton piece, which mak n ; I sup you have found that all the many works of Skelton's mentioned in the Garland re not later than the 1490'1" (actually Tucker and Gingerich r n that Skelton revised the poem immediately prior to its initial publication in October, 1528 - iu order to include that very impr ive catal01 of his works.

For ex mple, what is th impact of an occasional editori I supporting civil rights legislation when crime news is daily reported on a racial b i ?

This racial reporting of crim ne when it is irrelevant to th apprehen ion of a erim· in I, is keenly felt by Negr at an early age. Last Spring, when junior high 8ChooJ Nerro youn ter visited the legislature in AJban1, they met in a mock ion, and the first Jegialation they proposed outlawed racial reportinr of crime news.

On ny given vening, the local televi ion news will prediCtably show the wreckage of an auto accident, a hold.up suspect, hat over face, usual. ly N gro, being I d from jail to court for ar. raignment, nd the r main of a fire. When this news take precedence ov r significant news, th medium is guilty of sins of omission and commi ion. I have repeatedly attended pr conf rences with a local Negro self.help organization at which the pr ident reads a prepared tatement explaining a critical hous. ing or employment problem only to be told by the r mote cr w, "That ran two minutes could you cut that down to 40 seconds?" Isn't it conceivable that problems that have been 300 years in the making would take at least two minute to expl in? Today's television journalist should be reminded of the first elec· tronic journalist's criterion for news. The late H. V. Kaltenborn wrote: "News is important, but interpretation is more important. I have always tried to guide my estimate of news values by ask· ing myself the question- how important will this item eem tomorrow? in a month? or in a yearf Unl ss an item has some en· during importance in relation to things p tor to come, its news value is relatively small."• ' All of these items, if taken one by one, may appear insignificant, but together they keep the white population· uninformed about the real problems of the Negro ghetto and reinforce the Negro's feeling of being outside of the main· tream of American life. Taken in the most charitable light, this is still another form of unconscious prejudice ST' which still regards Negroes as "them," and causes whites to regard race issues as "their" problem. It is necessary to think in terms of "our" problem, and what "we" can do to solve it. All of this gives truth to a statement which Dr. Martin Luther King made this Summer: "Lacking sufficient access to television, publications and broad forums, Negroes have had to write their most persuasive essays with the blunt pen of marching ranks. The many white political leaders and well·meaning friends who ask Negro leadership to leave the streets ·may not realize that they are asking us effectively to silence ourselves." 2 If, as the Times and others suggest, this is America's most serious problem, journalists must begin to face it, and the broadcaster journalist must seek fresh approaches to this problem, just as the urban speCialists seek new solutions to environmental design. I don't mean to suggest that there is an easy solution to this problem, for it requires all the imagination and professional skills available to solve it with· out creating further white bac}dash. We at WBFO have done considerable experimentation and have not really been satisfied that we did the best possible job either. Last Spring, we at WBFO planned such an experimental series to achieve the following goals: 1. To give Negro ghetto residents a chan. nel to air their views to the white com· munity. 2. To afford\ ghetto residents an oppor· tunity to call to the attention of the city and the public specific problems for solution. Although newspapers are now providing this kind of informal om· budsman service, ghetto residents need an oral outlet to serve this function. 3. To inform Negroes of the varied con· structive programs already available to them which were operating in the ghetto. 4. To be able to report on problems quickly, and capitalize on the immediacy of the radio medium. We began by talking with ghetto residents and leaders and developed the entire seriea from the title, "People To People," to actual produc- 7 �( tions by involving these residents fully. Mo t Negroes are weary of well intentioned whit s coming in and t lling the Negroe what they need and doing things for th m; in fact, N gro psych.i atrist Alvin F. Pou saint attributes the rise of Black Power to a reaction against this approach. I don't beli ve any future meaningful white involvement in the black community can be successful without this clo e working r Iationship. We decided that the series would originat live from the offices of agencies which work most closely with Negroe . Th e offices includ«fd two of the University-spon or d store front information centers, a ommunity Action Organization, BUILD, and the rectory of a atJ:Iolic church with a long hi tory of succ sful self-help programs; repre entativ • of ach o{ these organization served as producer-moderator of this 15-minute daily program. We had an excellent geographic distribution, a well as breadth of subject matter - th ag ncies repre ented had contrasting services and points of view. We heard from ach offic once a week and the serie ran the months of July r and August. The station equipped each Joe ion with an 1 inexpensive (under $10.00) battery operated amplifier, microphone, and telephone lin to our studios. After working with each indigenous producer for the first several broadca t , we placed total respon ibility in the hands of the agency representative who handled the re t of the programs without any station p rsonn I present. Since thi was experimental, a critical analysis of results is essential. The idea of providing a radio ombudsman never materialized. Thi a pect wa n't given any special promotion ; I stiJI believe thi idea is valid and could be successful, if properly promoted. The content included discu ion with teenagers of the cau es of the Buffalo riot and problems of inter-racial relations, de cription of self-help programs and ghetto living conditions, and man-on-the-street interviews. As might be predicted, the quality of programming varied. All programs would have benefited from editing; sometimes organizational concerns received too much coverage, limiting the opportunity of the average ghetto resi- d nt to air his f lings, and becau quality, it was probably difficult strong r gular list n r hip. ln spit of th se limitations, th r s d monstrat d that radio can reach into th gh tto n oC imlik no oth r m dlum to giv a m diacy to th probl ms and frustrations of th p ~ople living th r .

Isn't the role of local bankers in helping or not helping Negro businessmen at least worth some analysis? If it's news that some public performance of the contemporary arts contain obscene words, isn't it news that the city contains hundreds of houses with obscene ("disgusting, repulsive") living conditions? If educational radio can produce stimulating programs on the history of American theatre, why can't it produce a series on Negro history? How much respect can concerned Americans have for media which ignore the denial of basic equality and dignity in an increasing percentage of our cities? Can American · journalism reply honestly that it has done everything it can to ·improve communications, to treat the most important problem confronting America as if it really were the most important problem? Dr. John Spiegel, a psychiatrist and director of the Lemberg Center for the Study of Violence at Brandeis University, in a release on his preliminary findings of the study of violence in the streets said, "If white populations generally had a fuller appreciation of the just grievances and overwhelming problems of the Negro in the ghetto, they would give strong support to their city governments to prqmote change and correct the circumstances which give rise to the strong feelings of resentment now characteristic of ghetto populations." America is faced with its most serious revolution in history: whether it's resolved peacefully or violently is the white man's responsibility. Since so many of the commercial media have not lived up to their responsibilities, it is essential that we continue to experiment and inform the white \ community of the sorrows, frustrations and anger in the ghetto so that Negroes are not forced to write further "essays" in the streets. 1. 2. a. ~r to author, September 21, 1963.

"Once I had to play at a recital of celUsts the Tarantella by Poper, and when I was on tage I was so ner' �vou I got cramps In my right leg and could not start to play. I had to stand up and relax th I g and th n I played in an absolute delirium, not knowing wh th r I played well or not." H finds the solution under the hristma tree. To play in a gr t quartet, he knows he mu t study abroad. His father, a construction man by trad and musician by preoccupation, balks. Father chn id r is a man of monumental will- 11! h s d termin dly made a fine cellist, a violinist, and a pianist (the brothers' old r si ter Mania who di d at Dachau) from the raw material his family provided him. But Mi ch is damant about going to Leipzig to tudy. The boy, who has already spent several year playing in cotf hou es and movie theatres to h lp upport the family, will not acquie he finally rises against his father, demanding th right to leave Russia, outraged al o at his fath r's verity toward his brother, who would rather play than practice. A great silence falls on th Schneider hou . "When I wa 15 y i-s old-just one year before I left for G rmany- I told my father on an occasion of hi punishing Abrasha, that if he touches him ag in, I shall hit my father nd leave the hou . I hall never forget the expression on hi f ce when I aid it. H looked quietly at me with hi big dark eyeA and left the room. It was som thing unh ard of that one should defy the patriarch in such a w y, becau we were taught never to talk back to Mother or Father, you only spoke when you were asked something. But I wa at that time earning money, first pi ying in movie, cotf shop and, in 1919, in th orch tra nd I felt a grownup man and hated to ee my younger brother treated that w y. Th reAult was that Father did not talk to m for months nd I only came home to I P l t at night. I would spend the free time during the days in on cafe near our home playing Ru88ian billiard (where a brilliant but volatil young Polish officer regularly shot pool again t n eternally patient local Minnesota Fa ) . I was not eating regul rly to the great sorrow of my mother who would say to me in the morning befote I left the hou , 'Mischa, ju t come have bowl of chicken soup.'" In August, 1920, he convinc~s his father that he can walk with his cello and belongings the 60 kilometer to the neare t railroad station, the w y out of ViJna to Leipzig and the master c Ui t Klengel. It's ·a two-day hike and within ight of the tation, he trips and cracks his cello. Almost 50 yean later, Mr. Schneider is one of the world' great masters of the instrument, and if hi name com to mind )eM immediately 11 than those of the famous solo cellists, Casals and Piatigorsky, it is because only once in more than three decades has he performed without his colleagues, the other members of the Budapest String Quartet. The achievement of the Budapest is a collective one (only Alexander Schnieder, the Quartet's second violinist, makes a practice of playing solo), collective and enormous. The Quartet has probably performed before more people than any other chafllber music group in history. Its recordings on. the Columbia label have sold in the millions. And in a nation notoriously ungenerous in its support of the artS, it has won the singular honor of national patronagefrom 1943 until 1963, the Budapest was officially in residence at the Library of Congre88. The BudapeAt is so lolig-lived (it was founded in 1921) and so widely known that an anecdotal mythology has accrued to it. Mischa Schneider's reserve (for 12 yean, he is said to have addressed the first violinist as "Mr. Roismann"), his brother's joie de 'Vivre, Boris Kroyt's still heavy accent, the pipe collection of Joeef Rois. mann figure in dozens of stories swapped among Budapest devotees. A veritable mystique surroundA ~ir performaneea of the Beethoven Cyele-who sits in Baird to hear another quar- ( �12 tet interpret the Cycle without applying the standard set by the Budapest? ~ In photographs of the Quartet, Mischa · Schneider is the grave one. Jo eph Wechsberg, writing of them in Th N w Yorker in 1969, described hiin as "gray-haired and solid, s rious and conscientious, the group's pat rfamilias and worrier." A charcoal portrait done many y ar ago and hanging now in hi living room, shows he wor~ that same grave look back in his student day first with Klengel in a class of about a doz n that included also Piatigorsky and F uermann, and later with Alexanian at Ca ala' Ecol Normale cle Musique in Paris. In 1924, with his apprenticeship over, he moved to Frankfurt-am-Main, at that tim , a center for things experimental sparked by the presence of avant-garde compo er Paul Hindemith, whom he knew. From Frankfurt to ologne where he joined the Prisca Quartet, a stolid German affair, mediocre musically and troubled by marital squabble between the fir t and second violinists. It is Cologne not the Pri ca that is important here, becau e it wa in th cathedral city that Mischa first play d with the Budapest. The occasion was an infor1mal evening of chamber music at the home of the Reifenbergs (their daughter later marri d Emmanuel Feu rmann). He played that night Ravel and Beethoven's Opu 59 #1. " In 1930, early in Spring, I had a letter from Mrs. Reifenberg inquiring whether I would be interest d ·· · to become a member of the Budap st Quartet." Lovers of Beethoven know how he answer d. "My joining the group made it half Hungarian and half Russian." The other Rus ian was Roismann with whom he shared both enormous talent ("he could do anything on the violin") and similar ideas on technical matters. "Slowly, we began to change the style of playing of the Quartet," a direction that was happily r inforced when Alexander Schneider joined the group in 1932. (Bori Kroyt made the Budapest all-Ru sian in 1938.) As emigre , the Ru sian-Jewish members of the Quartet encountered incredible obstacles concertizing in Europe in the '30's. All eventually obtained Nansen pas ports, tho e League of Nations documents that have carried the photos of so many of the great musician of our time, but often the consulate was the Ia t s.t op before the concert hall. Several years ago, Alexander Schneider reminisced in the Times about tho e early European tours : "We used to open our season in Norway, playing ever3 day in another small town. We ~a~e $6 a concert and ate sardine in our room. We w r happy .... We wor hip d the prin d p g . Th r n v r was a quart t that paid so much att ntion to v ry millionth of a point. If w w r n't sur wh th r it was a dot or pi c of dirt, w play d th dot. Now w play with a fr dom w n v r v n thought po,sib! 30 y ars ago." Their first Am rlcan tour was in 1931. Th y made th circuit by reyhound. In 1942, Am rica becam th ir perm n nt b e. Mr. chn ider r mem rs th d y with th un lfconsciou nostalgia that only naturalized citiz ns allow t.h ms lv s, " I shall n ver forg t th day in 1942 wh n I r c iv d my quota visa from th U. .

It was during their 20-y ar as ociation with the Library of 'ongr ss that th B thov n ycle as performed by the Budapest becam what Eric Salzman has c 11 d a "fixture of our mu. ic life as p rmanent and in vitabl a , y, th Philharmonic or the Metropolitan Opera."

It goes like this: "One Russian is a nihilist. Two Russians, a game of chess. Three, a revolution, and four, the Budapest String Quartet." But it's surely not their Russian-ness that distinguishes the Budapest. One of the four isolated their special thing several years ago when queried by a reporter. He said the Budapest is great because "it has good players, who are also great human beings." Great then because of men like its cellist. �books by the faculty ' THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN INDONESIAN POETRY by Burton Raffel, a.uotiatt professor, Englah. State University of New York Preu, Albany, 1967. !78 pa.geB. Between present and future happiness The abyss gapes , My girl is licking at her ice cream : This afternoon you're my Jove, I adorn you with cake and Coca-Cola Oh wife in training. We have stopped the clock' ticking. This blend of the contempor ry and the traditional, the s~nsual and the commercial, the mystical and the realistic, is representative of a new poetry growing in a new land. The author of these lines, Chairil Anwar, died in 1949 at the age of 27 and is already regarded by his countrymen as their greatest poet. Yet the Janguag in which he wrote did not exist as a common tongue at the time he was born, his country barely had a cultural identity, and only just befor his death did it have political autonomy. Anwar's country is Indonesia, the fifth most populous nation in the world; the language in which he wrote is Indonesian, or taha.Ba Indonesia. Mr. Raffel's book is the first major study devoted to the poetic tradition which has emerged simultaneously with this new nation. The outstanding quality ol Indonesian poetry, Professor Raffel finds, is its universaUty. The poets speak in individual voic ES, but each reflects the broad and diverse cultural heritage of the country. Indonesia stands between East and West, contains elements of Moslem, Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian thought, carries the memory of Chinese, Malay, Dutch, and other influences. Ita poetry cannot be narrow and provincial because its audience is not. A second quality--one that might be expected in a young country char- acterized by both political instability and an almost univeraal desire to improve th living standard - is the political and ocial natur of much of the work. Wh n poetry can move an audience, the poet becom 1 a social force, and a faaclnatin part of Prole aor Raffel's study is the light it throws on the relation b. tween poetry and politics in an emerging nation. In addition to generoua quotations from the poetry itaelf, The Development of Modern l?ldon.ttia1l Paetf"JI contains an extensive appendix of Indonesian critical writing which indicates how the poets th maelv a view their roles and their accomplishments. Mr. Raffel spent two y ara in Indonesia in the arly 1950's as an English language instructor und r a Ford Foundation program. While there h began translatinlf Indonesian poetry with the h lp of Nurdim Salam, one of his students; thia collaboration re ulted In the publication of Chairil Anwar : Sel ctf!d PoetM. Later he published An All· thology of ModeTlt /?lda1tetia.1l Poet'1/, one of the few aourc s of this poetry available to read ra of English. Mr. Raffel has alao translated from the French, Spanish, Dutch, and Anglo-Saxon, and has don collaborative translations from Thai, Urdu, and Vietnameae. His publications include PoetM From tlu Old Englah, Beowtdf, Short StOf"JI 1 (with Robert Creeley and othera), and numerous translations and articles on Eastern and other poetry. He is alao a poet in hia own right, and his work has appeared wid ly in literary magazines and anthologies. He earned his B. A. at Brooklyn College, his master'• at Ohio State University, and hia LL.B. (he ia a member of the New York State bar) at Yale.

Colleague LIB-UA044 Description An account of the resource By the early 1950s, the University of Buffalo had expanded from a small group of autonomous schools into a modern university with 14 divisions and a central campus. No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

The xigencie of planning a real, if future , ca mpu s have forced m ny of us to think long and _ riou sly about what we cannot really know - th , hape of th future Univer ity. In recent month. , th Univ rsity has been a. Rembling its best thinking on th futur in compiling it academic and de lopment plan . n the K y contributor. to this ffort have !Ieven provo. t., among th m, Dr. Warren G. Benni., who, a. a . tudent of organizational change and a prof sional planner, is an pe.. cially well qualifi d Univ rsity proph . In th following excerpt from his input to the academic plan, Dr. B nni8 ugg ts "r I \'ant future." for his n wly organized Faculty of Social ciences and Administration. H predict. with confid nee and considerabl ' Jan, perhap. b cau , in the words of his pr fae , "for me, th 'futur • i. a portmanteau word . It embrace. everal notion . It is an x rei e of the imagination which allow. us to compete with and try to outwit futur events. ontrolling the anticipat d future, rather than backing into it, is the stake. The future is, in addition. a of ocial invention that legitimizes the proc forward planning. Th re is no oth r way I know to r ist the 'tyranny of blind ocial force 'than by looking facts in the fac (as we exp rienc them in the pr nt) and extrapolating to the future-nor is there any oth r . ure way to detect compromise. Mo t importantly, the future i a con cious dream, a . t of imaginative hypothe e groping toward whatever vivid utopia lie at t he heart of our conciou ne . 'In dream begin r pon ibiliti .' said Yeat , and it i to our futu re respon ibilitie!! a educator , re earchers, and practitione that the. e dreams ar e dedicated." T �the Faculty of ocial Sciences & Administration The real problem is not the adaptability of man, which is almost infinitely greater than we once upposed, but the suitability of institutions and their policie . Th contact of civilization , the traditional and the industrial, can be managed well or managed badly. The social management of this contact, not the adjustability of individual men, is the heart of t he matter. CLARK KERR Tho e prophetic words of Clark K n, written lM!for e ~e unfore een chain of events which led to his t· signat.ion·, haunt me, for it ia not at ail obvious to me that the university today has th organizational adaptability to take on n w go Is, apeetaeular growth, a fiahbowl visibility, unpr ec~.>dented size, and unexampled r ponsibilities. Having consulted and conducted re arch over a broad ap etrum of organizations, including hospitals, industri a, R D labs, conaulting firma, etc., it strikes m that th university approaches organizational realities with that same blinking and feckless goodnatur dnesa aa does the popular •tereotyp of the "abaentmind d profeuor." And atatements, quite often made by university administrators are fal ly reassuring and deeply misleading in masking the contemporary crisis. For example : II there a central dominating idea enlivening the American university today! The answer is, moat certainly, yes. For auch an idea is formed in the d votion and in the recognition of learning's importance !or a full manner of life. . . . Thou,..., scholars today often ap· p ar to pursue separate way!! within universities - quite unaware of their colleagues' existence, c rtainly without all quarrels adjusted - still by and large they all are, and know they are, working in a common vineyard. They know that it is not their specialties but "11a rning" in a double ense-both as a constantly developing field of knowledge and as an intellectual process· -. which they have in common. The connecting link for all within the univeraity remains learning thu understood, a compact of knowledge and hope. [f that statement were made in the miasmal atmosphere of Zuleika Dobson's Oxford, with which it hares a certain whimsy, I could understand it, but it was made in 19113 in dead riousness by the presid nt o! one of the nation's ~.cr ate t universities. And university I ad rs other than Dr. Pusey continue to make these wondrously myopic remarks. I can only account for this by r memooring what one of our most gifted social scientists, Louis Wirth, once said in an article h wrote shortly be!ore his untimely death: It ia curious that in order to gain the l'eputation or a realist, it is regarded oost never to think about reality, and in order to b4! regardd a a ~ocial scientist to get as far away from the actual prob· !ems and operations of society as you can. I doubt that we, administrators, colleagues, students, can , get away with that today. The unresolved pr·oblems will continue to haunt us and in inuate themselves into everything we do. I think the only hope we have is to make the university a Jiving laboratory for study and examination. . . . 1. On Education. Confusing as it is already, we will require an even more diverse and differentiated educational system. To recognize how advanced our learning theory is, (and our own Psychology Department can oo counted as one of its leaders) and how rarely we use it where it counts - on ourselves and our stud nts, i to recognize the validity of Wirth's remarks. The oost place to start ·is with 1111dent•. Firat of all, there should oo many tracks for students to take: the hippy should b4! able to expand his consciousness and the helper should be able to find a client or some kind of intemship where he could learn about the dynamics of the "helping relationship." The pt·ofessional aspirant (in business or !OCial welfare or speech pathology or· clinical psychology) should have an opportunity to integi'Bte the pt·actical and the theoretical. And finally, the career· scientist or academician should have ample opportunities to work closely with senior researchers, for there is no way to learn how to do research except through worki ng as an apprentice. Ther·e should be many op portunities for students to teach each other. We often put this down as the "blind leading the blind," but the research evidence coming out now about the teaching-learning process indicates that peer group interaction accounts for most of the variance in learning: The composition of the student body should be diverse, coming from many different walks of life. One of the fir st ste reotypes to be changed i.'! that students come in only 4 sizes, 18, 19, 20, and 21. One of the values we can derive from our close rela· tionship with adult continuin g education programs and evening educational divisions is their supply of tu~ents who can fold into our Ieat ning process their experience and perspective. New methodologies oup:ht to be encouraged and invented. We know that learning outcomes require diffet·ent pathways to learning, that drill is very effective for certain skills and that clinical judgment and advanced research techniques require close supervision and apprenticeships. The experimental sciences r·ely heavily on the "oonch," and we must, in the social sciences, find a good working equivalent for the 1 �"shop." At the same time, it Ia clear that som kinds of learning would be facilitated through more mechani· cal and impersonal means. 1 suspect that TV and progt·ammed instruction would be as effective in some areas as· most Jectur •. . . . 2. Oir the Orgatlization of tht Last year a prestigious group of pt·ofessora was asked by their institution's pr sident to se if they could spend .th term ldenti· fying the key problems facing the nation. After several weeks of collecting and sorting out problems they cap1e up with a Jist of ten or so. Heading the list was the topic, "unive\·sity organization." The next task the group was asked to undertake was to rank-order the problems the institution should actt1allt1 work on. This time "university or· ganization" wu ranked last. . . . tlniversity organizations ar in trouble. Partly because of their extraordinary and unprecedented growth and exp nding . responsibilities and partly because of plain mis· management. The mismanag rnent typically takes two forms. "Type One" ia the bureaucratic specter Veblen described so splendidly in his Faculty. 2 1'he Higher Leanting in Am1wica : I Men dilate on the high necessity of a businesslike organization and control of the univer ity, its equipment, personnel and routine .... In this view the university is conceived as a business house dealing in merchantable knowledge, placed under the gov. erning band of a captain of erudition, whose office it is to turn the means in hand to account in the largest feasible output. In the absence of a captain of erudition or the smooth clicking of bureaucratic rules we can observe a "Type Two" resolution, what Ia often referred to as a government by a "company of equala," but is, in fact, more likely an apathetic pseudo-democracy dominated by a few reaponaible individuals diacu•sing trivial iasue1 endleuly. Mo t important iuues are eith r ruolved In outside committees or di1tended out of shape by Roberts Rulea of Order which at ita beat producea (on moat aigniJ\cant luu ) a bare majority winning over a disappoint-ed minority who will, before the week ia out, subvert whatever wu palled, if anyone can remember. Neither bureaucracy nor Roberts Rulea ia equipped to solve the important problema of tod&J'• multiversity. At belt, they wiU lead to compromiH or avoid&nc., or wone, polarisation. Both Typ a One and Two cr ate "major forcea," according to Har· old Taylor, "all in the direction of subm rging the individual teachn in a mata of rules, formulae, ad· mlniatrative authority." What kind of an organization would I like to for our Faculty! G n rally ap aklng, I hop4' we can n.ov to llt'd thu values : 1) As few rul a, formulae, inanimate bylaws as poaaible; 2) Aa much d • ct>ntralizatlon a pouible - peopl should make d cisiona ho are clo to the action; 8) Aa much partici· pation as pol!libl - from atud111tf1 as weJI aa faculty; and ) As much flexibility as po ible to adapt ton w and chan ing acad n1ic conditions. Given our pr nt Faculty orpnization, how do et ther ! Let'a start ith d11partllttmt1. Tb y are important. They provid th qualit control and lnt 11 tual atandard rut. upon which th diaciplin Equally important, th y provide a profeuional car r ba for fa ulty. ln addition, the r lative ind n· dence of the department from administrative int.erfer nee can a!Jo it to pursue truth relent! ly regard! of ita ultimat tar t. Ita "classle aneu'' yi Ida both a d tachment from and a critical vi of aociety which ia an u entia! rol for departments to play. In addition, when all else changu, when th univeraity, to say nothJng of the world, is in flux and aputic, the depart-ment can provid th point of continuity and ld ntiflcation, a prof 1sional "bome-ba ." But the very 1trengtha, unfortunately, can Vi ry easily tum into important wealrn when it com to ruli1:in the or anlutional goals nunciated earlier. D pal'tm nta can become stodgy and con rvative, warding olf n w id a1 and ehan with r markl Jik : "Harumpb, you call that X-ologyt Harumph, that'• not real X-ologyl" Ri an maku a faacinating point that may explain, at 1 Bit in part, thla academic "apartheid," 10 orthodox about "purity'' and " mi genation." He aaaerts that acad mic life can be for many, dialocated from th ir origins, a n w national lam, a " 'ICholar'a country.' Tb fervency o! tbta na.tionaliam rdeeta the aaeri.ftces the acholar ha1 mad to become a acholar, 'what be baa had to 1111'render of earlier IOcial-clua oricira and ambitiora.'' Departments are extremely vulnerable · to what John G~dner calla 10 elegantly, "oteani· zat1ona.l dry-rot," the same rfcidi· ties that atlti.ct other 10eial IJit.ma. When we identi.fJ tbQe IJDlPtoma in otAw organlaation1, we dalm that �3 �( 4 as the person attains excellenc in any one. Other individuals would choose a wider spectrum of activities and these persons, whil we would still expect ueeUenee in one area, would be able to integrate the teaching, research, and service func/ tions of the university.. . . Thtougb conceiving of our Faculty organisation this way, we might be able to move • clo r to the va)u rli r : commitments I m ntloned little or no bureaucracy, decision making operated by people close to the information and eloae to the d cision and as flexible an organisation as ~ible 80 that people are doing pretty much what rna to be uti• fying and productive. And conceivably we might be able to design a s)'tltem that proY!de. diversity as 1f1!ll as foeua. 3. OJ. l•tef'ditcipliu~ Coll4bO>ratioJt. The quest for a unified aocial science, 80 fashionable immediately &Iter World War II and pursued even today by generaliata such as B(luld.i ng and Jam MUJer, atlJJ holds a strong faac::ination for me.. To this day, I retain a strong wiatfuln ss for synthesis in the aoeiaJ sciences and a search for theories and methodoJoaies capable of knitting together disparate el menta, on the order say, of a Walnudan "~W~­ eral equilibrium theory." Thia arch, incidentally, began with my . ~raJ work when I Joobd at the conditions and aoeiaJ proeeaea that would lead to trec:tive interdilciplinary work in 80me aoeial 8deDee research organisations I wu then studyinr.

The other atanee Ia one of withdrawal and ali nation from th "r al world." Harold Taylor, in decrying thla tend ncy among philoaophen, aald rec !lltly that "Philoaophy Ia orpnised mor like the American Medical A latlon, or the undertaken or real atate agent., rather than like tho who, in my judgment, count."

Our social psychology program is nationally prominent - are they studying the socialization of new studenta or new faculty or, for that matter, rol conflict, or changing attitudes as a consequence of University re-organization! I do not want to overdo it. We are not an extension aervic or a demonstration farm. I do believe, . \ though, that we can deepen our educational experiences and furth r our knowledge through spotting re arch and learning ·environments which are close to the "real thing" and yet still maintain that important membrane of distance and objectivity without which learning could not take place. Still another way of taking an active role is a more penonal and intellectual effort. Sir R.

A second characteristic of Cook as critic is his great and continuing interest in the relation of literature to life-not by any means a predominantly propaedeutic ethical interest like Wayne Booth's in The Rhetoric of Fiction (that 450-page expansion of Johnson's Rambler No. 4)- but rather an interest in literature as a reflection of life, as a pointer to the quality of possible civilizations past and present, as a secret window on lived experience. "How pene. trating of Balzac," he writes in The Meaning of Fiction ( p. 83) , "to see that it is the macaroni manufacturer whose simplicity would be open to the full anguish which assails Pere Goriot. It is a verifiable observation that wholesalers of foodstuffs tend to be more devoted family men than, say, the public functionaries of "L es Employees"; or again (Dark Voyage, p. 34) "An expanding imperialist society - fifth-century Athens, seventeenth-century France, nineteenthcentury Britain, America today-will always produce increasing numbers of pure-action diplomats and, in their wake, great comic poetsAristophanes, Moli ' re, W. S. Gilbert, Chaplin." This "lifey" interest of Cook's sharpens' his handling of such literary questions as how to interpret a suspicious exchange of goods on the battlefield (Classic Line, p. 59), or how to distinguish the originator of a genre from a couple of followers: "In Tbeocritus' work [as contrasted with Fletcher's or Tasso's) a balance is maintained so perfectly between each term of his underlying analogy that we are unable to say either is primary : that poetry is merely an attunement to the real nature in which shepherds tend flocks; that shepherds are mainly dimmer servants of the order and grace which poetry serves" (C(a.slic Line, p. 173). The balance and\delicacy of the sentence just quoted illustrates a third striking quality of Cook's, his self-awareness as a writer, his felt need to produce something meriting better than a reviewer's tag for the works of a prolific academic litterateur - "couched in his usual colorless, odorless, tasteless prose." Cook's own prose has had ita up and downs. Crisp and lucid in his firat book, it seems to have fallen under the influence (here and there) of the wont upeeta of two favorite mentors (Tate and Blaclanur) in bia aecond, In which at one point be remarks of the Bovarya that "Her Jove dain, hit deaperate clubfoot cure, her 11 �12 J ul_cide, his sinking into death, concretiz th feelings her reactions are metamorphosing." (Some other examples may have been due to proofreading inadvertence: the clause "the city novelist like Dickens or Dostoyevsky may be ridden all his life by excruciating if heuristic psychological handicap" willlo e its me-Tarzanyou-Jane ring if "an" i insert d after "by" or if "handicap" is made plural). I Stylistic problems more than anything else no doubt accounted for the conde cending reception given The Meaning of Fiction in what few reviews it seems to have gotten on i ap. pearance--not many journalistic reviewers can . spare time and effort to digest an argument a compressed and muscularly put as thi book•s; yet the argument intrin ically repays peru I and re-peru al. Cook's capacity to transcend and even profit by a damn .him-with-fain~prai reception comes out in the strong style and structure of The Classic Lin . A fourth characteristic of Cook's works is his recurrent attempt to take ccount of important scholarship and criticism relevant to ach of his authors. To do this exhaustively, on the scale on which Cook operates, would cqnsume a few lifetimes; and hi main forte, in ny case, i making diverse literary works comment on e ch other. But although his critidsm cannot serve as convenient annotated bibliography he will often be found intelligently aware of some key scholar or commentator--of Simone Weil on the llia4 or the swarm of interpreters of Kafka's Castle. ·One area in which he might proft bl;y enlarge his awareness (I think) is Milton: though his selected references to Rajan, Eliot, Prince, Stein, Empson, and others are centr 1 enough, he misse Christopher Ricks's perti• nent, vigorou study, and unless I am much con- fus d h n ed o look again at th traditional expositors of Milton's cosmo , not quite so fluid a j lly a h suppose . Finally, all thr of ook' books show an admirably fr sb and roving appetl for contemporary writers (Jam s Jones, William anom, Rilk , Y at~, Frol'lt, Robin on), though th ir main topic is th p t; nd all tbr bow unu ual and original org nizing pow r . Th e Dcwk Voyag and th Golden M an, his mot availabl and nt rtaining work - definitely th on for a new Cook-r ad r to gin withmakes great capital of a simple structural gimmick that n atly overlaps lit rature nd life: t.atistical probability. Things ing wh t th y re, th betting odd h avily favor the chanc that you like Tom Jon , wiU fall out with a girl fri nd you later marry, rath r han th cbanc that, lik Oedipus, you might murd r your fath r inadvert ntly in moment of blind rag .

The only book I can think of to compar Derk Voyag with i Auden's Encha/ d Flood, a similarly inventiv combination of bravura rapid~tir th ory with detaiJed xposition of specific 1i rature, in thi cas Moby Dick. I cam out wo y . r later than Cook' (not that i ems to ha e n influ no d by him); and ook's m, I think on re· reading bo h, the better book. For me the high points of Th M ani1lg of Fiction are the two extend d diseu ion of Don Q ixote and Tristram Shandy th t launch ook's analy is of the lnner..outer nature of what he means by fiction~ the venteen pag on Fl ubert th t introduce the section on '"poetic yle" in novel ; the long analysis of War and Peace to illustr te one of v ral sourc of unity in fiction; tb twelve f)ag in whieh The Ca3t1 is used to show how close fiction ean come to llegory nd y t ~ain fictional; and th fif een page on Prou in which a parallel point. is m de about fiction nd auto iogr phy.

Th re ia t times en ot strain, etJ])ecially, it · ms to me, in the section on Henr.v J1lln • ano her styliJ t hose influence I think CoOk eould have done without. Th Claalic LiM returns to the orpntzing m thod o1 Dark Vofa(le in focu ng on a ai!W1e �c ntral qu sti n : th kind of v rse line found in pic , or rath r in ach of as ri s of ucce sful pies. On th on hand the pecific qualities of itA v r may distinguish an pic from a b llad or a lyric; on th oth r , they clearly diff r ntiate epic handling of narrative from th way narrativ i manag d in pro fiction. (' k'. c ntral topic lead naturally to a s cond rg nizing d vic , hiA distinction between epics compo d in loo qu si-ballad-like style (8 owulf, The Song of Roland, The Cid) and pi compo d in what Cook calls the R fin d tyl , which gins, in ook's account, with Virgilian 'imitation of earli r Gr k and Latin p try and continue in many p ts, notably in Virgil' two gr t follow rs, Dante and Milton. : T complex for r ady ummary, Cook' handling of ·th R fin d tyl i one of the chief fa ination8 of Th Cla~ ic Line. Specifically, h tr th tyl b ck o th Gr k Anthology and not 11 it use in a number of lyric poets, including Jon on- wh t he means by the term ''r fin d" h veral affiniti with what is of n call d "plain." Hi m aning defin i If t r by th ri of ex mpl s he uppli s from Fro t, Rilke, Robin on, Dryd n, Propertiu , atullu , Callimachu , and others than by ny formula, hough on can extract formu1 ic 1 m nts from hi8 di cu ion: ideally, the R fin d Styl would limiting, inevitable, obj tiv , m ionally ven, logical, clever, given to both mono yllabl and abstract nounA, highly patt rn d in diction nd yntax, p r dox-lad n, nearly pigr mm tic, pur (in excluding much) nd trong (in i compr incluion ) . So much for the b ic tructure of The Clallic Lin , i aim and program. As for ita chi vement, in my judgm nt Cook is at his in d ling with peeific lin nd passages, r I tin particul r xample of styl to central topica in m, ketching po ible unifying I m nts in n enormou compl x like the Iliad, or comp rin th way in which Paradise [..,oat nd h Divi Com dy incorporate analogous but ub ly different elem nta from the same r ligious tradi ion. His (Uu tration of Dante' er ification by contras with a poem of Yeats med to me ~cially fine; o did the contr embodied irlsuch a pair of sentences as " Achilles tanda at the center of the Iliad, but hi orld measur him. Ody ua, however, m ur h world as he moves throuch it." On minutiae of style and major iaauea of ltructure the book oftenr I think, theda anat iUumlntion; where it will provoke moat ~t nd to be provocative ie a virtue ln u pod a book as this one-may well be in its,handling of certain middle-sized elements. Cook's discu sion of the epic simile, for example, is in my view too categorizing and pluralistic: he neglects, I feel, the large number of interesting qualities the similes of Milton, Dante, and Virgil share with each other and also with many of Homer's. So, too, I think that the extent to which Homer originated the style Cook call refined is much underplayed in Cook's . analysi . To conclude with a specific illustration, in the spirit of Cook's own discussions, I suggest that the original Greek in which Jupiter praises Juno's charms in Iliad XIV, comparing her to other females he has known, is so fine an example of Cookian Refined Style that the best English translation of the passage so far is unquestionably the one made by the great master of the style, Alexander Pope, as follows: Ne'er did my soul so strong a passion prove, Or for an earthly, or a heavenly love: Not when I press'd Ixion's matchless dame, Whence ro e Pirithous like the gods in fame: Not when fair Danae felt the shower of gold Stream into life, whence Perseus brave and bold. Not thus I burn'd for either Thet>an dame (Bacchus from this, from that Alcides came:) Nor Phoenix' daughter, beautiful and young, Whence godlike Rhadamanth and Minos· sprung. Not thus I burn'd for fair LatOna's face, Nor comelier Ceres' more majestic grace. Not thus even for thyself I felt desire, As now my veins receive the pleising fire. Thi passage (for fuller discussion of which ee the forthcoming Twickenham edition of Pope's Iliad) shows, in the English and Greek alike, nearly all of the most crucial earmarks, as I understand them, of the Refined Style postulated in The Classic Line-and it is by no means an un-Homeric or even un-Iliadic example. · ~ontroversta · I c1'ta t'ton m · reI end with th1s sponse to Cook, riot at all in disparagement of him. The Clallic Line is a worthy successor of his two earlier books and one of the beat pieces of American literary criticism in .everal years.

Left il lov -child nam by a 19th century Whit philanthropist, it is one of SO-some pr dominantly N gro coli g s in the South today. Of cours , th s mantic nicety fools no one. A "pr dominan ly N gro" coli ge is a nominally int grat d on • in many cas s, one educating a sm ller minority population than Ole Miss and h r pr dominantly Whit sister institutions. Until Little Rock shattered the principl of "s parat but equal," schools such as Philander Smith vi w d th m lv s primarily as instrum nts for th high r education of Negroes a job th y had be n doing without any noteworthy comp tition for almo t a century. Philander Smith's history is a variation on a f irly sta11dard pat rn of development for Am rican N gro schools. Th College was found d in 1877 as Walden eminary, one of th firs schools for fr edmen in th Southwest. The y ar of its tablishrnent, it was designated th official educational institution of t he State N gro onf r nc of th M thodist Episcopal hurch, a ti that binds, sometim chafes, to thill day. Charter d as a four-y ar colleg in 1 , it ward d i fir t bacealaurea in 1888, more than 30 year before UB ha nd d a h pkin to stud nt in a liberal art program. Its nroll of ho day , on and daughter of m n k pt iJlit rat by statute, pursued a tr ng ly mix d but practical course of t udy - they took cia icaJ Gr k and Latin, and c rpentry was requir d for the young m n. Ov r th next few decad , a Wh it , Methodist admini tration nd faculty gr dually gave way gro, M thodist admini tration and a to predominantly N gro faculty. Th nd of r cial par tion pell d crisis for school Jik Philander Smith. A black braindr in began th t N g ro teachers and tud n wer sudd nly able to bid for plac at form rly all-White insti utions, the state univer iti s, for example, with far ounder acad mic progr ms. When Harvard r eplaced th m asur , mo t of the colleges, How rd jo tly proud of th ir record as Negro instit ution , w r fore d to dmit to their marginality according to thi newly singl standard. As P hiland r Smith conf in its catalogue, "Th Coli g recognize t h t it h not always provided equ I d ucation although it has offered equal opportunity." And el ewhere, "The fut ure of Phila nder Smi th College no longer dep nds on its ability to provide equal opportunity for students but upon its ability to' provide genuinely eq ual educati on, which is a key to the achievement of social and economic equality." Some statistics show just how unequal education can be. When Philander Smith freshmen were administered the standard School and College Ability Tests and Sequential Tests of Educational Progress recently, their average mean scores were uniformly lower than the national norms for high school seniors (most of whom were not college-bound) . The College's seniors fa red even worse. In 1964, students taking the Graduate Record Exam scored in the sixth and fourth percentiles respectively in t he ver bal and quantitative aptitude tests. Area test scores ranged from a low nine percentile in the social sciences to a high of 31 in the humanities. The exam results point to severe educational deprivation, not confined in Arkansas to the Negro population. According to the last Federal census, an eighth-grade education is the norm for adults (over 25) in the State. Only two per cent have completed four years of college while seven per cent have had Jess than a year of formal schooling. Philander Smith's students - 85 per cent from Arkansas - often receive the worst of what little this system has to offer. Many graduate from high schools without regional accreditat ion. Moreover, as Negroes in the South, they may acquire a mental set hardly conducive to academic achievement. As the College's president, Dr. Ernest T. Dixon, has written, "Apparently, many students come · to Philander Smith College with grossly distorted self-images. A necessary degree of self~evaluation is experienced by many of the students which often leads to a lower aspiration level and a reduced feeling of self-worth and . self-esteem resulting in fru stration that robs the student of his hopes and ambitions." The problems of Philander Smith's campus, pressing as they are, were a thousand miles away from Buffalo until the Fall of 1965. In November of that year, Georg Iggers of the History Department discussed with Myles Slatin, then acting dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, the feasibility of some cooperative arrangement betw~~ this University a~d one or more predominantly Negro colleges m the· South. A phone call to Philander Smith, which wa in process of establishing a similar ex- 1 �2 change with Baldwin-Wallace College, a small Method ist school in Ber a, Ohio. led to a cooperative program among the thr e institutions. Wh y Phil a nder Smith ? A numb r of factors converged to narrow the field from 80 to one, but familiarity is as important as nny . .From 1950 until 1957, Dr. lgg r. taught hi story French and German ther , at the . arne 1 time that he was helping to prepar th now famous case against the Little Rock school board as chairman of the executive committ of the local NAACP. The '50s, the years of the nation's "acad mic d~ pression," had b en better days for Philand r Smith, Dr. lggers r eca ll s. Newly accredited (the Nor th C'en tra l.Association of Coli ges and Secondary Schools sanctioned its academic program on March 30, 1949) , the school was actively recruiting, and getting, teach rs with Ph .D.'s. At that time, b fore Northern teaching salaries jumped and before equal opportunity 1 employment. a third of the Philander mith faculty held terminal degrees. Today, only s ven per cent of the faculty and staff have any kind of doctorate. F acu lty alari s, even f or thos with doctorates, are frankly appalling by Yankee standards full professors draw ' $7,500 a year, about half the average comp nsation of a UB teach r of comparable rank . Before the three-way exchange became operable last yea r , Philande r Smith had taken significant independent steps toward checking thi downward lide. On taking office in January, 1965, President Dixon decentralized administrative authority somewhat, increasing faculty repre entation on standing committee and introducing student participation in administrative deci ion-making. Over the Summer of 1965, it was decided that Philander Smith could not afford to go the way of Grambling in spite of some distinguished gridiron performance by alumni (the Packers' Elijah Tipps is a Philanderian), and football was indefinitely suspended beginning with the 1965-66 academic year. Faculty were encouraged to take advantage of continuing education opportunities such as Summer institutes on large university campu e . College funds were made available for the e activities as well as f or each faculty member to attend at least one professional meeti ng in hi discipline each year. Basic improvements were alRo directed toward the chool's 650 students. During 196566, library hours were extended from 54 to 69 hours a week and stacks and carrel were opened to the student body. A central guidance office with a three-quarter time director was created. Also instituted was an office of spiritu- al guidanc . r fl cting th 11chool'. strong 1\t t't hodist ori ntntion.

For the fir t time, a con cious effort w made to give faculty m mbers cours ignment a far a po. ibl . within their field of competence, a r a! problem at Philander Smith where the teacher hortag spreads everyone a little thin. A learning lab, incorporating electronic equipment for language in truction (the beat in the tat , according to the chairman of the chool' modern language d partment), was intailed, as wa an audio-vi ual center. Thi was the climate at Philander mith when Baldwin-Wallace and the Univer ity stepped in . As educator are wont, the three-colleg committee applied almo t immediately for Title III fund . ix project directly involving Univer ity personnel were outlined in this initial reque t for financial support: a erle11 of faculty vi its to both the Little Rock and Buffalo campu , a cultural exchange progr m (specifically, a Lyceum eries of lecture and recital to be held at Philander Smith), grad· uate tudy, including Summer study, at the Univer ity for the College's faculty, teachinrre earch internship at Philander Smith for Unlver ity grad tudents and developmef'1 of ,a remediation program for t.mder-prepared . todents at Philander Smith. The go-ahead wao~. received for all of the e except the Lyceum s iet, �which was to hav been int grat d into a PR c mpaign to improve th ollege's image in th y !I of th Little Rock community. ne y ar and 65,000 in F deral funds later, Philander Smith i a lightly ditf r nt place. For xampl , during th 1966-67 academic y ar, 20 f our per onn I visited Philander mith a consultants on curriculum and program d velopm nt and financial operation . Budg t r comm nd tion were made, prof sional ad vic on the olleg 's .n w science building wa gjv n, but the big accompli hment wa th blishm nt of a full-fl dg d remediation cent r, which grew out of r comm ndation mad by Dr. Frank B sag, Dr. Richard S lzer, and Dr. Don A. Brown of Educational Studie and Dr. Tah r A. Razik, director of the A V ommunication nter. Th r have been instanc at Philander Smith wh n tud nt failed to purcha e textbook and faculty did not urge them to do so - becau it wa und rstood that the kids couldn't r ad th m. Aft r sp nding a day in Littl Rock, meeting with Presid nt Dixon, Dean of Instruction All n T. Ward, and oth rs, Drs. B sag and Salzer dr w up plan for an Educational D velopment enter which this year was funded under Title III. Th ent r, d cribed in the current Philander Smith catalogu a a fre hman division cone ntrating upon ba ic learning skill , provid a curriculum comparable to the pre-fre hman y ar program d veloped at Shaw Univerity in Raleigh, North arolina, a predominantly Negro institution with similar problems. This y ar, 80 studen are enrolled in the enter's remedial reading program, as many in its remedial English course (a speech therapist is also on th taff). Under the direction of Mrs. Robbie L. Lyle, the Center ha e tablished invaluable contact! with Little Rock Upward Bound, hope to improve its own program through the u e offteachi ng machines. The Buffalo prof have also recommended the development of a model school at Philander Smith. This is a natural for teacher training - a pre-school center, for example, would serve as a learning lab for much-needed personnel in young childhood education and, at the samEi time, provide Little Rock with a kind of "Head Start" facility. Interestingly, Philander Smith, like many other Negro institutions in the South, encompassed primary grades until 1924 and a high school as recently as 1936. The model chool proposal, based quite soundly on the nowball principle that be~r teachers will • produce better-qualified incoming freshmen, has not yet been implemented. In addition to 16 short visits to Buffalo by ollege personnel, four Philander Smith faculty members studied on campus this Summer. The chool' modern languages chairman·, Hubert Papailler, is a full-time graduate student here this year. A Haitian-born novelist, poet and linguist, he also teaches a beginning French cour e in MFC. Faculty exchange (two University graduate student in math and English are teaching at Philander Smith during '66-'67, following the pattern et in recent years by the Woodrow Wilson teaching internship program} sometimes results in mild cultural shock. Overburdened Philander Smith faculty are often urprised to Jearn that not everyone teaches 15 hour a week. And Eastern salaries are always a blow. The Buffalo end of the exchange is administered by an autonomous faculty committee, "the ommittee for Cooperation with Predominantly Negro Colleges," with about 30 active members, including, in addition to those mentioned earlier, Alan Andreasen, Seymour Axelrod, Berkley Eddins, Larry Green, Erwin Johnson, Jacob Marinsky, Edgar Mayer, John Milligan, Charles Pailthorp, and St;mley Wass. Mickie Pailthorp, a Reed College graduate (and faculty wife}, was recently appointed part-time coordinator of the project. At regular Tuesday noon wrangles in Norton, over bag lunches and the sound of apples being crunched, the Committee makes policy. Recently, it was decided to expand the group's interest to other predominantly Negro schools, possibly beginning with the consortium of five Negro colleges in. rl.ouisiana and Arkansas in which Philander Smith participates. The decision to grow suggests that the Committee rates itself as at least a partial success. Doubts remain. Off the record, individual members admit that Philander Smith may never become first-rate, that the University's role in the exchange occasionally smacks of paternalism. You don't have to go South to do your good works when thousands in Northern ghetto schools suffer what a Boston teacher has recently termed death at an early age. Reservations it has, but the Committee continues to work very hard for a non-radical, partial solution to the problem of unequal education. Sometimes, members must feel like the sparrow of that fable who spent centuries pecking away at a hillside. This is a laborious way to level a mountain. In just two years, though, they've made a small dent in Little Rock. 3 �TRANSPORTATION FOR BUFFALO: Present Problems, Future Goals . 4 .. , know where l"m ~ing," the folk . ing r croons confidently, but for the city dweller the problem oft ntimes is not where he' going but how the hell he' going to get there. A traffic narl become ever more forbidding and buses run le frequently but at high r co t to the passenger, traditional options m less and less attractive. Can viable new means of t.ranspol'tation be found and, more important, can new transportation system be implemented in the near future! Preliminary to a full-~ale study of these questions a they apply to Western ~e York, the following report on tran portation in metropolitan Buffalo pa t., present. and future. - was prepared by the Committee on Transportation Goal for lietropolit.an Buffalo. The Tran portation Committee, staffed by Thoma Reitz and William Kessel, is headed by 'niver ity faculty member Dr. Robert E . Paaswell, who is principally responsible for the paper ex«rpt.ed here. Dr. Paaswell, an assistant profe sor of ch'il engineering, receh·ed his B.A. from C-olumbia College in 1956. He ubsequently earned B.S. and M.S. degree at the Columbia School of Engineering and was awarded the Ph.D. at Rutgers, the State University, in 1965. He has been a member of the State University at Buffalo faculty since 1964. PhJIRical A .!pcl'i.!

Each municipality was e sentially lf-suffici nt, and much industry was located out id of the c nter of the city becau. e of easy acce to hydr lectric power. A a matter of fact, suburban life did not become common until public transit in Buffalo had gun to d teriorate. 1 In th meantim , an all-too-familiar pattern began to merge in Buffalo. An excellent highway program in the 1920's (Sheridan Drive, Wehrle Drive, Ieveland Drive, etc.) made auto commutation s imp) to and from Kenmore and Amher t. Parking lots were then plentiful and parking was inexpen ive ($.15- $.25 per day) . Public transportation wa poor.

There wa , therefore, good rea on for each family to buy a car, and once having done so and having bought insurance and plates, to drive it everywhere: to work, shopping, for 1. This deterioration began with out-of-town manage- ment of the transit company-Mitten Management, from Philadelphia, of the International Railway Corporation. No new loeal trolleys were bought after the Buffalo E ve?tinq New• crusaded for the final 80 in 1918 ; and these 80 were rendered lesa efficient about 1933. Second-hand trolleys and second-hand busea from Philadelphia were deemed good enough for Buffalonians. recreation and for vacations. ars proliferated and demanded, by their very numbers, more good road . This almost dialectic process o{ more cars leading to more roads leading to more cars (aided and abetted by a Federal policy which encouraged cities to wrap themselves in ribbon of asphalt) continued down through the present, and ha had effects upon the city more far-reaching than the si mple matter of moving people about from place to place. Despite courageous, but too-late, efforts to provide adequate bus service, the pattern for a transportation l3Yrstem fully independent of public transit was well laid. With increasing u e of the automobile and dependence on city streets for the access to the core, traffic rapidly increased. Inner and outer loops were planned to bring the suburbanites rapidly to the city ... . Transportation Data The primary mode of transportation in and out of the core area is by automobile. There is approximately one auto per family, and there are approximately 3,000,000 person trips per day made. Those that use public transportation utilize the major bus line, Niagara Frontier Tran it Company, which is the primary source of public transportation. The bus line at present pays a franchise tax and is given no real incentive by the city for major improvement of its service.

It i n e ary to empha iz th diversification of choice and to improv he attractivene of owntow n in ord r to maintain it position as th main shopping center. Downtown Buffalo was one th cent r of the amu m nt zone. Now many movie hou e have cl ed, whil oth r. hav op ned in the suburb . R stauran ts are located throughout the entir ar a, not concentrated in the core, and only one I gitimate th atre xists in the core. Th mu sic hall lies lightly outsid the BD on th we t id , and traffic to and from Kleinhans d s not conflict with traffic to and from the BD. The univer ities and colleges also provid play , concert and movies and this traffic to and from the events i not concentrat d in any on ar a . Anyon from the core wishing to u the facilities of th university on a w kend evening would find public transportation almost an impo sibility due to the infrequent Main Street bus rvice, which stop altog ther before midnight. In addition, stud nt , ordinarily a highly mobil group, are infrequent u er of public transportation for these same rea on : infrequ ncy of operation during evening , no late . ervice, and , of cour e, a high scattering of entertainment faciliti~s. . . . It would be u £ul here to note the cost of bus tran portation 9from the uburb to downtown. If bu es are taken from the inner suburb , roundtrip bus fare to · the core is $.50. As zoned fares increase with distance, roundtrip fare to the core might run up to $1 .00. If transfers are made,. they cost $.05 each. Thus, omeone travelling from the core to somewhere. within the city, needing one transfer (a frequent occurrence from the high density, low income east side), ba a round trip fare to work and back of $.60, or $3.00 weekly. Thus, to date, it can be see n that the automob ile has been, by choice, the most popular mode of transit in the metropolitan region. Planners have answered the res ultant demand with bigger, better designed highway and traffic systems - well designed, that is, from an engineering and safety point of view, and certainly not from an aesthetic point of view. Yet, though Buffalo rarely has monumental traffic tie ups, except when there are large snow storms, transportation problems and problems as. ociated with need for specific types of transportation, are becoming evident. Just mentioned above are the problems of movement of the poor, without cars, from the core - the maid to the uburbs, or the stockboy to a large retail market, or the student to the university. Other factors to be considered include the interrelationship of the growth of down. town (partly brought about by easy and rapid acces ) , and the desire to go there for reasons other than work; the future growth of the entire metropolitan area, including the new city to be formed by relocation of State University of New York at Buffalo in Amherst (a major problem in transportation logistics, and perhaps an ideal place to look into future modes of transit) ; the future job market, including the nature of future jobs, and the projected decline of the unskilled labor market through automation; future population shifts as median income increases. A look at some projected plans for the metropolitan region, recent studies made, and future modes and plans for transportati n in this region is necessary at thi s point. Propos d Tmnspo1·tation Systems And Th i1· Feasibility Metropolitan Buffalo is at a point where it must decide how its future (30-50 year) transportation investmel"\t must be made. Automobile advocates are pr'pposing adoption of a purely highway oriented system, rail a~vocates are proposing large investment ·in high speed rail tran it,2 while others seek some balance between rail and highway (to give the basic distinction between rail and auto, rail shall refer to any guided system, overground, at grade, underground or suspended, rubber or steel wheeled. operating on an exclusive right of way) . In a recent report, the New York State Department of Public Works presented its "Ni2. Figures of metropolitan area population of greater than 1,000,000, or densities greater than 10,000 people per aquare mile, are often cited as criteria for use of rapid transit. · 7 �8 agara Fronti r Transportation Study ." By UR of somew hat compli cat d mathematical mod I~ and high spe d comput rs, \'arious modes of transit were st udied and th conomics of th ir use analvzed. The foreca t base figur s pr diet a metropolitan area population of 2,000,0 0 p I)pie making 6,000,000 person trip p r day. In ' alfdition, 740,000 automobil would be own d in t!he region. The basic assumption mad in trip -patt rn projection i that pr sent land use patterns will continue in the ring tr nd. Th a lterna ti ves pre ented in th study are valuated on the following criteria : primary ( r ducing accidents, travel time, operating and construction costs); and secondary (minimizing dislocation and di sruption of p ople and eco nomy, providing se rvice to all) ; and Ia. tly, promoting a better environment. o, t factor~ a re applied in the models to the primary objectives, whereas the secondary ar r cogniz d as important though they ar not includ d in the model. However, the ubordinated crit ria are so vital to the growth of the area that orne models based on thes should have b en included. F or example, marketing studies of the impetus of the new M & T building and Main Place on empl oyment and shopping in the n- tire core area should be includ d. While ring growth will occur, it should b noted that large investment is still made at the core. In addition, the effects of increased touri sm and regional buying in an upgraded cor should be valuated. The report evaluated express bus s rvice and rapid tran it, concluding that co t (ba ed on operator time, accident and con truction) would be prohibitive for rail rapid ba ed upon their projected u er figures (a maximum of 69,000 u ers on a Kenmore-Univer ity rail rapid, 71 ,000 on bus). Their projected figur e timate that public transportation of all kinds would be u ed daily by a minimum of 190,000 and maximum of 223,000. . . . It i generally felt that such a report provides highly usef ul data and co t studies, but must be supplemented with further con ideration of a balance of tran portation through an entire systems approach . In addition to the social and economic factors involved, the political factor of managing a Niagara Frontier Tran portation Balanced System mu t be analyzed. This would include sources of revenue and di persal of ·revenue or subsidies for the sy tern. Returning to the problem of location of sy . terns , it is noted that within five year the fir t phases of the university's new con truction in Amherst will be nearing completion in the area of Miller.sport Highway and Maple Road, ap- pro imat•ly ight mil s from the c nter of tl.. cor .

Taiwan today, as the proud flagship of the floti lla of islands which are Nationalist China, continues in that role. At the same time, however, it is being cast in a new role - that of pro. p rous, progre sive showplace of non-Communist Asia. Interested primarily in the development of the latter stance, but nonetheless conversant with the Nationalists' dreams of a return to the Mainland, Ta-You Wu, a native of Canton and chief science adviser to President Chiang Kai Shek, presides over the University's Physics Department with an eye turned East. To see Dr. Wu, a bespectacled, smallish man with keen eyes and quiet manner, trudge back and forth between Hochstetter and the Townend Parking Lot in his long grey coat, carrying his brief case, is to ee Everyprofessor. To read his curriculum vitae is to find that he is a prize-winning theoretical physicist and author, a former mentor of two Nobel Prize Winners, T. D. Lee and C. N. Yang. To peak with him as he worries his keys and smiles brightly over events of the past and present, searching now and then for a paper on his piled-up desk, is to want to talk for hours about everything but physic . You want to hear more about how it i on Taiwan today, you want to ask if Dr. Wu ha amples of those golden Taiwanese banana which he contends "taste better" than thj> e grown anywhere else in the world. Most of all, you want to hear about Dr. Wu's role in the Nationalist Chinese government. He obliges : "My job ... is the chairmanship or directorhip, of the Science Development Committee of the National Security ouncil, the highest policy body that reports to the President. My immediate task h~ been to study and to make recommendatiotls for the reorganization of our Science Council which has been operating for eight years and which is similar to the National Science Foundation in the States ... .

Anoth r factor in hi favor, Dr. Wu feels, i that h i not clo ely affiliated with any of the nation' political factions. His advice can thu be "both obj ctive and detached." A portion of that advice to date has been focu d on atomic development. Should Form a s k to d velop a military nuclear capability to maintain a balance with the Mainland? "Such a policy," the phy ici t say , "would be mo t unwi e, from various points of view, in particular, the eqmomical." Already, the maintenance of a tarlding military force of 600,000 command orne 75 per cent of annual national revenue . But while he feels Formo a should not join the military nuclear club, Dr. Wu does approve of plan for the study of nuclear science and technology and the in tallation of the atomic power projects-move which tie in nicely with industrial ambition . In its efforts to promote a sounder scientific b i for the nation's progress, Dr. Wu's Committee, through the National Science Council, now expends an annual budget of $2 million to s upport both indus trial and university research and the improvement of high school science educatio n (by way of curriculum studies, preparation of t xtbook s, and development of refresher cours s for high school teachers) . The ommitt sponsor s six research centers - for mathematic , physics, chemi try, biological sciences, engineering and agriculture - which have b en formed by a pooling of tne programs an d personnel of Taiwan's universities. Any applied indu trial or scientific programs r commend d by the Committee and approved by the highe t authority will be turned over to the Executive Yuan and carried out by the appropriate governmental ministries. As Dr. Wu put it, "We provide only general directions and points of view." Although Dr. Wu had not seen the island until the mid 1950's, he is today a· Taiwan Travelogue. Only the background choral anthem and glimp es of irradiant sunsets are missing a he reflects on the State of the Nation : Formosa is an agricultural paradi e, the farmer is its miracle. Blessed by a climate which make possible three harvests a year and bolstered by a self-sufficient chemical fertilizer industry, the island has been agricultura lly ·selfs ufficient for years-i n itself something of a phenomenon when one considers that the population ha leaped from some 6-7 million at the end of World War II to more than 12 million today. Yet, so bountiful are food.stuffs that 45 per cent of the nation's exports are agricultural product - canned mu hrooms, asparagus and pineapple for the European market, sixty mil· lion dollar worth of those s uperior bananas each year for the Japanese alone. The Taiwan farmer is typically a small one who owns his own land and lovingly cultivates it with no mechanized assistance. He is "well-off," Dr. Wu ays. . \ If the farmer and his produce are amazing, so is the rapid development of the cities. Taipei has doubled its population from 600,000 to 1,200,000 in a decade; other urban areas have grown accordingly. But except for some "crowdedness," there are no real problems for the city dwellers either, Dr. Wu contends. Indu trial growth-the economy advanced at a rate of from 10 to 11 per cent each year in the early 1950's and enjoys a current growth factor of 7 per cent annually-has taken up the slack. Al though heavy industrialization is still in the future, light manufacturing now accounts. for the remaining 55 per cent of exports-textiles, appliances, electronics ware, pharmaceutics, chemicals, steels and cement, gasoline refined from crude petroleum imports.

" The 12 topics fall into three groups of four : Chapten one through four deal primarily with ~a th matical concepta, including d1tfer nee equations, Markov chains, characteristic-value problema and problems in probability. Next come four chapters devoted to decision theory - a apecial interest of Dr . Boot's - and, finally, aeveral chapters on models. Glueing the study together Is the author's belief that mathematics and stati11tica can be of rea l value in solvin. real busines11 problema. The chap'ters on game theory, "speciaJly, are rich with topical exL · mple11. Dr. Boot, who has lectured widely on the subject and often leads is tudents in management simula.on , teach 11 that strategy of the .o t fundamental kind sometimes •eds light on terribly complex realr situations. In a diacuuion of 1 Bing gam , for example, he in- corporales this a ide: " An interesting element of this game is that it contain an element of blackmail. (' If you kill an opponent, you yourelf will be the next to be shot at.') Such situations with overtones ol blackmail oftentimes prevail in practice; and the blackmail influences th decisions . . . . This is the so rt of duel where the choice is between neither or both ending up dead. The ame game is essentially played between the United States and Ru sia . The equilibrium in nuclear terror keeps the situation under control (of sorts). The main problem is to keep the equilibrium." Dr. Boot was born in Semarang (Java), Indonesia, and received his doctorate at the Netherlands School of Economics in Rotterdam. Before joining the University at Buffalo faculty in 1964, he aerved as a reearch assistant at Stanford University (1959-60) and the Rotterdam Econometric Institute (1960-64) and as vi iting associate professor at the U. S . Army Mathematics Research Center in .Madison, Wisconsin (1962). He is the author of Quadratic Pt·ogramming, Algorith.me, Anomalie•, ApplicationtJ, and Ope1·atione SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY: INQUIRIES AND PARADIGMS Edit d by Dr. Llewellyn Gross, p1·o{ I'BSO I' and chairman, sociology. Harper & Row , Publishers, 1.967. 398 pages. Dr. Gross's concern with the eternally conditional non-conclusions of sociological inquiry has led him to collect this volume of essays by 11 thinkers who share his "intellectual curiosity about unsettled ideas ideas illuminated by open-ended attempts to build theories from diverse patterns of constructive criticism." In a "Foreword," Dr. Gross notes that the "strain toward consistency" is felt in contemporary sociological theory, as it is, indeed, in most di sciplines. " Indeterminism and uncertainty are generally acknowiedged ... but they are usually underplayed in the interest of achieving the kind of closure that is intellectually satisfying." As antidote, special attention i11 paid in this collection to the relevance of dilemmas, paradoxes and countertheses in formulating sociological thought. The book is divided into six parts : Orientation, Foundation s of Theory, Social Causation, Theory Formation, Theory and Social Problems, and Theory and Values. While the majority of contributors are sociologists, essays by students of history, political science, philosophy, and anthropology are also included. Of special note are contributions by Arnold M. Rose, president of the American Sociological Association, and Irving Horowitz, editor of the journal Tran s-action and author of a recent study of " Project Camelot.'' Dr. Gross formerly served on the !acuities of the University of Idaho and the University of Minnesota, whe e he received his Ph.D. He recently completed a term as visiting professor at the Institute for American Studies in Paris. Contributor to numerous books, he is editor of an earlier volume, Symposium on Sociological Theot·y (Harper & Row). THE WORLD OF SOUTHEAST ASIA: Selected Historical Readi ngs - Edited by Dr. Harry J.

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

H 1·itag had tyle and it had a gimmick it came in the mail like other magazines but wa ub tantial, inside and out, like book. A pioneer, it wa harbinger of a raft of le succe ful packaged magazin s - from i own Horizon to today's A8p n (the magazine that recently passed through the mail disgui ed as a box of "Tide"). Of all the hardbacks, H ritag alone captured the public imagination. Heritage ha endured. Thi campu now has a living link with th t bit of recent Americana. In 1962, them gazine let it managing editor slip aw y, and today, thank to one of higher education's rare ucce ful raids on the publishing world, Erie luarrabee sits as UB's provqst of arts and 1 tters. M �As Auch, h is one of the University's pleiad. Fifty years ago, the fact that his Harvardwon A.B. stands alone (and that he never previously h ld a university appointment) might have k pt him out of the front-line action. But this adfll!nistration takes the unstereotyped view. A man who helped teach American studies to 350,000 subscribers a year and spoke to how many others , during 12 years as an associate ditor of Harper's can hard ly be considered a novic educator. The Faculty which he heads represents a rounded portion of the academic pie. With the exception of history and philosophy, which were assigned to the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration, Ar and Letter s absor bed the liberal arts cor of the University curriculum - art, music, drama, classics, compar ative literature, modem languages, English, architecture, and American studies. Lifted almost intact from the old College of Arts and Sciences where it had begun to dev lop its own p rsonality as the Division of Language, Literature and the Arts, the new Faculty is still a patchwork of strengths and weakn sses. If th re's a universal complaint, it's that the other humanities departments a re damn d sick of being cast as the plain J ane sisters of the flamboyant English and Music Departments. There are individual hang-ups as well. Drama, newly separated from Speech, is suffocating from lack of space- actor s need room to play in and unless properly fitted facilities are found the Department may flounder. American studies, once one of the University's signal strengths (Pulitzer-P rize winner Richard Hofstadter studied here), now survives only in a marginal way with its most imaginative efforts confined to a recent late afternoon seminar offered t}trough Millar d Fillmore Col· lege. A f unctional architecture program does not yet exist at all. That is t he dark side. The Faculty's assets are also legion. Art has been freed from cramped, dark quarters on the third floor of Foster and been given light and air on the Ridge Lea Camp us. The Music Department is wonderfully exciting and free,. with the presence of Allen Sapp, fine resident musicians, private financial support and t he model Center of the Creative and Performing Arts all but overshadowing its major ~acilities problem. Classics has always been strong in the best traditional sense. Comparative literature, a new program with bright young advocates in classics, modern languages and English, holds an unplayed trump in a recently funded journal which will be devoted entirely to literature in translation. Modern languages, long competent in the familiar Romance and Germanic tongues, a lso boasts a widely imitated program of electronically-aided instruction in neglected languages - this year, spoken Hungarian was added to a roster that includes Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Swahili, Hindi, Vietnamese, and Tagalog. Hopefully, drama will have a converted warehouse t heatre in the near future. And architecture is all possibilities with an intangible plus in the form of the provost's wife E leanor Doermann Larrabee, a distinguished architect and an associate in the New York firm of Warner , Burns, Toan, and Lunde. The provost assesses this tally sheet with a trained and critical eye. "The major effort fo r the next few years must be . rather conventional. All departments and programs should be allowed to catch up to the highest standard without lessening the momentum of the best of t he existing programs." Translated into policy terms that means upgrading faculty t hrough vigorous recruiting, bolstering weaker programs with financial support, and attending to hundreds of numbing administrative details. If the overall thrust is of necessity "conventional" (something of a tribal obscenity), possible fut ure progrl\ms for the Faculty have the character istic vankuard touch. Farthest out among Mr. Larrabee's own hopes is an interdisciplinary program expioring the multiple relations of art and technology. As a student of the American experience since college days, Lar-rabee is fascinated by the rift between technology and art that runs like a .Great Fault through contemporary life. From Thoreau's denunciation of what hurtyburly poor little Concord could muster to the Goat. Boy's subv.e rting of WESCAC with a Luddite's glee, modern men of letters seem preoccupied with driving the machine from the garden. , . Great stuff as literary convention, Mr. Larrabee thinks many intellectuals have internalized the stereotype of a hostile technology. As he re-· centiy told a radio interviewer: Traditionally, 1 �2 the artist-intellectual was a functionary in society, acting as priest or seer or bard. When the world began to be industrial, by lack of any alternative, he had to become a gadfly to th t chnological ~;~ociety. H became detach d, a bit . seif-consciously bohemian. A fashionabl ob cu~antigm develop d in the art , and this process of more than a hundred years ha had its ·cumulative effect. To reverse the trend, he would like to e a gritty, intelligent study of the real world shared by men and machine . Any such program would require the input of several Faculties with Engineering and Appli d ci nces a a must. As a small-scale working model for such a project, he cites the University's Syrnpo ium on Literature and Society, h ld on campus this Summer. I When Larrabee talks arts and letters, the vibrations say anything but textbook. Urbane and unstuffy, he has an easy familiarity, br d in New York City, with the living arts. (He h,as, for example, a great Marshall McLuhan ·story, and Norman Mailer, whom he has described as "as alienated a writer as you could want," was a Harvard friend and cla mate.) The non-cathedral tone can be attributed, perhaps, to the fact that his relationship with the arts has been largely a working one. With mu ic, for example. For more than a decade now, he has regularly contributed jazz criti· cism to Harper's. As he recall , a chain reaction sparked the a signment. A now classic jazz story was submitted to the magazine, "Sparrow's La t Jump," based on an incident in the life of Charlie Parker. Larrabee, who was then an associate editor, and his colleague were frankly confused. "I had discovered jazz in prep school - Beiderbecke, who was then already dead, was my idol. When we read that story, I had the strange experience of looking at something I thought was familiar and finding it completely changed." His re-education in jazz was provided by Nat Hentoff, who spent one long evening in changing recQrqs and capsulizing jacket blurbs. Larrabee's interest burgeoned and to help finance an expensive record habit, he suggested that the magazine initiate a monthly music feature with his by-line. That was the beginning of "Jazz Notes." "I wanted to write non-professional jazz criticism," h ays, " aus that w • 11 I could do. nd, at first, w k pt th columns , hort so what 1 couldn't do wouldn't show b dly."

For th re ons, free society cannot do without privacy, and an authoritarian regime cannot tolerate it. · The above discussion touches only some of the interests protected by the rlPt of privacy. Equally important to the quality of human life are the intimaeiea wbJch are too predoue to di.eeloee to a prurieut, _,. or ~ public. In the receDt Orit- wold v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court stressed the importance of privacy to marital life. There are many other personal intimacies essential to living as a man. As Edmond Cahn has written, a man needs a place where he: can resume his native stature ... away from the haughty state, the frown, the putting forth of the finger, and the oppressive policings of social order. He can open his collar there and can give vent to his own particular daydreams, his mutterings and snatches of crazy song, his bursts of obscenity and afflatus of glory.J JJ.(A) Today's Threats to Privacy Privacy does not, however, mean solitude. Each man must communicate and exchange thoughts and ideas with others - his wife, his children, his doctor, his lawyer, his religious adviser, his business acquaintances and associates, his friends, hi constituents - and often these exchanges must be confidential. To permit law enforcement authorities to wiretap and eavesdrop, even under limited circumstances, would eriously impair this privacy so necessary to a free society. Awareness of the existence of such powers is alone enough to reduce drastically the sense of security and privacy so vital to a democratic society. The mere thought that someone may be eavesdropping on a conversation with one's wife or lawyen or business associate will discourage full and open discourAe. Two recent reports dramatize this : The New York Times of July 24, 1966 reported that the "Capital is Wary of Eavesdropping, Concerned It is Here to Stay." The story noted that "many people here still speak guardedly on their tele_phones, and some avoid sensitive conversations in their offices." And this January 26, the Wall Stree~ Journal. reported that the president of DuPdnt warned his employees against eavesdropping "at social gatherings, hi bowling alleys, in elevators, in trains and airplanes." These are truly saddening reporta. Apparently one must always be on guard - at a friend's house, even in one's own home or office or while trying to relax at a party or bowlina'. 4 Moreover, government oftlciala who are in office for a period of time caD baUd ap a aubpabUc atantial body of lnformatioll em oftk:iaJI and repre.eu Iy impair t.he w·ontu nq.

To take the latter point fir. t, wir t pping and electronic eavesdropping are inh r ntly uncontrollable becau e there is no way to limit the tap to the persons or conver ations in which the police officer may have a 1 gitimat interest. Thus, a tap on a phone c tch s th call$ of ( 1) everyone who call th phone tapped; (2) everyone who uses th phon to make a call; and (3) all the calls of the p r on whos~ phone is tapped and und r su picion. And it makes no difference how irrel v nt, intimate and innocent the cails and peopl may be.'Thus, it has been reported that In the course of tapping a singl telephone a police a~nt record d conversations involving at th.e other end, th Juilliard School of Music, Brooklyn Law School, Consolidated Radio Artists, Western Union, Mercantil N tionaJ Bank, several restaurants, a drug store, a garage, the Pruden ial Insur1l.nce ompany, a h alth club, the Medical Bureau to Aid Spanish D rnocracy, dentists, brokers, engin ers, and a New York Police Station. Such invasions cannot possibly be avoided, once a ,.tap is put in. · · This invasion is compounded many tim when the tap is put on a pay phone - a it often is - or on a switchbo rd in a company, profe sional firm, or hotel. According to th New York Police, of 3,588 tel phon s t pped in 1953-54 by New York Police, 1,617 w re public telephones, almost half. And it was recently reported that orne time go the Detroit police had tapped every public phone in th Detroit Police Dep rtment building. Thu , people with no connection of ny kind with th person or events under suspicion may have their most private and intimate conversations overheard by a policeman. Incidentally, such public and hotel room phone tapping can be especially troublesome to public officials who do a lot of traveling and use public phones good deal. Eavesdropping is even more pernicious, for that can reach not only phone con ersationa, but all the conversations and utterances in the most intimate parts of the home. Recent COngressional hearings and court deciaions show that FBI agents, police offteen, Internal Revenue Service officers, and other la enforeement agencies hav'e DOt hesitated to try to OTerbear conversations in every part of the home, in- eluding �The cloted eye and clutched bodice indicate that the pretty avetdropper it diltraught but tke it al1o clearly unda.un.ted - ker ear 1tay1 riveted to the wall beyond wkich her unfaith/ttl lover dallie1.

Moreover, our tanding r quirements prevent an attack on a warrant issued on the phone or home of someon I , even though the evidence will be us d again t the defendant. It is· also extremely difficult for a defendant to learn whether wiretapping or bugging has been used in his case. According to a Yall> Law Jotwna.l study some year ago, Fed raJ judg have been very reluctant to p rmit such an inquiry, and the rule excluding wiretap evid nee from the Federal courts has proven an illusory safeguard. There is no r ason to think de.. fendants have been more succe sful in tracing wiretap evidence in state courts. Ind d, conver ations with defense attorn ys in N w York indicate that except where the police or pros cutor voluntarily discloses the existence of a wiretap, it is almost impo sible to learn whether a wiretap has been u ed and to chall nge its issuance. Nor can we ignor'e the high probability of abuse, of which there have been many reported instances. While any device or weapon can be abused, the secrecy and scope of the tap makes it especially prone to misapplication, for the ~apper who is at all un crupulous or weak is severely tempted. The problem is aggravated by the absence of any effective check on how the tapper obtains and uses his information. Thus if he does pick up blackmail material, he ca~ ys~ it wit~out even reve~ling how he obtained th1s matenal, and there 1s no way of checking. The person blackmailed will generally want to avoid the publicity attending a private suit or a complaint to the authorities. Another of the unhappy aspects of this whol sad story is the continuing revelation of flagrant lawlessness by such heretofore sacro anct agencies as the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In one recent incident, reported in th March 6, 1967 Wall Street Journal, F.B.I . agents broke into a lawyer's office to install bugging equipment. When this was brought to light, an F.B.I. agent invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid testifying. Regardless of the subtleties involved in non-trespa sory eave dropping, such a break-in is clearly and flagrantly illegal. So far, we know of at le.a st 15 such cases involving Federal agencies and there may be many, many more of which we will never know. Yet, during all this time, we hav been told that the F.B.I. and the Federal government use wiretapping and bugging only in national security cases. It may well be that the claims of widespread illegal F.B.I. eaves- �It's ironic. All this bugging flap and most of th time we get nothing. And in a letter to m dated March 24, 1967, Detroit Police Commissioner Ray Girardin comm nted : from th evidence at hand as to wiret pping, I f 1 that it is an outrageous tactic and th t it js not necessary and has no place in law nforcement. I said the only xception to this that I would ntertain at this time would be in a situation wh r the security of the nation has to be protected against an outside power. Ho ever, th definition of any such except onal rule to wir tapping as this would hav to be very car fully worded. Nor are the Attorney G n r 1 and Commi ion r Girardin a one in their views. Back in th 20's, SO's and 40's, when· we al o had a serious crim problem, uch Attorneys General a11 H rlan F. Ston nd Robert H. Jackson cond mned wir pping a in fficlent and unnece ary. Even Mr. J. Edgar Hoover declared in 1939: While I conced that the telephone tap is from tim to tim of limited value in the criminal inv tigation, I frankly beli v th t if a statute of this kind arising therew r enac d, the ab from would far outweigh the value which tnight accru to law enforcement s a whole. ' And Attorney General Robert H. Jackson said before tb War: the di redit and suspicion of the lawfrom the nforcing branch which ari occ ional u of wiretapping more th n olf ts th good which is likely to come of it. In view of th negative view of wiretapping, why then do ·orne prO&ecutors continue to preea for this authority? Perhap one answer was given by Prof sor Loui B. Schwartz of tbe Pennsylvania Law School, himaelf a former Chief of th Justice D partment's Criminal Division: Th cor of the argument of neceuity is no mor than thi : in some cue& wiretapping may be the euiest way to ure evidence. Or, j)uttiq ft another way, alternative methods of lnftltiption would be more expensive. For ex~ple, if wiretappinJ' be forbidden. an extra agent nfay have to be allia'Mcl to ahadow the suapeet o:r a Uttle time or care taken to Uaure arnlt wiD be made aft. .... to -IJI== ~· . I 18 efficient than wiretapping, which makes protracted demands on skilled men and equipment, and must in many cases be completely unrewarding. It is conceivable that enforcement people are fascinated by wiretapping somewhat in disregard of rational considerations of cost. There is a certain satisfaction in being the unseen viewer, the unknown ove:rhearer of the private exchanges of others. Besides, the police of .all ages have known that damaging evidence obtained from the lips or precincts of the accused himself commands an almost overwhelming credit. The temptation to seek this kind of evidence has therefore been well nigh irresistible. And perhaps also, there is a certain streak of the voyeur and snooper in all of us. Policemen are, I am sure, no more immune to these impulses than anyone else . . . . FOOTNOTES 1.

But, whatever the possible difficulty, it had been averted. A resonant, sure voice that could be overheard in the outer office of the assistants to the president wa saying into the telephone: "To bring off something like that without an incident is a .real triumph .... " The speaker was 82-year old Robert M. O'Neil, magna C1Lm laude- Harvard Law, Phi Beta Kappa, civil liberties champion, full professor, veteran of Berkeley - "Bob O'Neil," as he prefers to put it. Being an assistant to the president ha many behind-the-seimes, "internal" moments like that overheard conversation - time spent being S career. A highly-reeomm nd d addition to th M Yrson team, O'Neil ha n c 11 d "on of th mo t ou tanding of th many ou tanding young men who hav work d for m " by Mr. Justic William J . Brennan of the U.

One uspects-and O'N il quickly confir~ that the opportunity for wide-ranging dministr tive s asoning is not th sol r on for his having made the journey from Berkeley to Buffalo. President M yerson pl ys n important role in the venture. There w a rumor around campue last pring that O'Neil had been clo advi to Clark Kerr report which, though totally unfound d, had then f th red orne b d littl lunch-table jok and now erv s to elicit both mile nd thi ober ob rvation from O'Neil: Anyone who attempts to a ribe a in l , impl cau to Kerr's untimely di mi 1 - bad advice or r pri 1 for wh had gon before at Berkeley - is on d ngerou ground.

This wa during the litigation chall nging th constitutionality of th Feinber Certificate. As subcommittee chairm n of the Am ric n A sociation of University Prof ora' Committee on Sta Legi lation Affecting Academic Freedom, O'Neil ntered th ease by tiling an amieu& cu · brief on behalf of th five plaintiffs. Although State Univ r ity at Butralo was, in n , the adver ry in the proeeedinp, O'Neil f ls that the institution' peculiar history w probably the moat important factor in m king po ibl the final, telling blow against the Feinberg Law, thu ending "a disagreeable 20-y r ep · ode" in an otherwise rather good hi tory of academic freedom in New York State.

Thia, he feela, is what mat:! it lble to briq uDder clii'eet attack the statute which had eeemed lep1b' una sailable for more than a decade.

Speech and the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California. His publications - three books and seven special analyses for the American Enterprise Institute - include the titles, Free Speech: Respomible Communicatum Under Law, 1966, and Civil Liberties: Case Studies and the Law, 1965. · Acknowledged as a scholar of distinction in the fields of con titutional law; administrative law; legislative and administrative processes; torts; legal history; copyright and unfair competition, O'Neil hopes to be able to accommodate a teaching assignment here in the Spring. For some time one of his pet educational projects ha been the teaching of law in the undergraduate curriculum. He was co-chairman of a conference on that· subject held at the University of olorado in the Summer of 1966, and is a member and former chairman of the Association of American Law Schools' Committee on Teaching Law Outside the Law School. With the University's Faculty of Law and Jurisprudence undertaking just such a project, he undoubtedly will have much to contribute. Still close enough to 30 to be trusted by even t he wariest of activists, O'Neil at Berkeley had reaponsibility for working with the student government on setting up their regulations concerning the time, place and manner of speech activities on the campus. The task was the seemingly impossible one of maintaining a balance among all kinds of "stra ge and baffling" views while adhering to the faculty deire• that there be no regulation of content. Here, O'Neil will be involved with students at the points at which student organizations or individuals have occasion to come into contact with the President's Office. One of these points may be the Academic Charter proposal of the Tuk Foree on Unitrersity Policy - a document which would give the Faculty Senate and a Student Council . t~e authority to develop by concurrent action policy which "shall take precedence over and supersede eoritrary administrative policy." In O'Neil's view, the all-too-apparent "paper anawer'' to the proposition II that the chief admlniltrative oftleer of a campua ia leplJy fnveated with ftnal autborit:Y for poHey deeiafona and caDDot delepte that aathorlt;y. In praet1ee, however, then are equally obYloat qaaUicatiaDI: A Pllllldlat callllllt Pll.all. 11 �/ 12 , Thus, . a properly functioning university is one in which there exists a delicate, tripartite arrangement of balances among faculty, administration and students. In such cas , th r is no need for any one or combination of two of the components to seek absolute control. If a shift in the balance is mandated, O'Neil f ls, then maybe something is wrong with th administration. At the· same time that he speaks of dministration ,and in the mood of his vital b lane theory, O'Neil scores the tendency toward mutually-drawn, sharp distinctions betw n "we" and '" they" in student-faculty-administrativ of relationships. There seems to him to be I that--at Buffalo than in most plac , pos ibly because, as he views it, this administration i unique in its numbers of top executives who ar academically qualified ·professional scholars. As an example of how this can aff t the workings of the University, he cite the comprehensive view of student activities held by Vice President of Student Affairs Rich rd A. .S\ggelkow. A dean of students wh only credentials are prior service as a football coach might not be able to keep student flare-up in proper per pective as "momentary, exciting sidelights." "Most university administrators are not trained to think in terms of crisis," O*Neil says, "And when things do go wrong, they are likely to feel, and to give to such events, an exaggerated notion of their importance." Administrative bungling, perh ps, li but one step beyond. Although obviously at home and in his shirtsleeves as far as the affairs of the University are concerned, O'Neil, as he talked, was v ry much still the Buffalo newcomer. A dr gnet was out for his pay check (it turned up at the Law School) ; the handsome display of Fall flowers with which his associates h d greeted his arrival was still fresh ; most of the book were still in their shipping crates. As recent arrivals to the community, be and his wife of four months were finding that neither the City nor its climate are the horror that the outlander expects them to be. In the process of getting established in one of those roomy, older houses on Potomac Avenue, they were discovering that, unlike California, where there are simply not enough peopl to do such things, Buffalo still has butcher shops where someone will spend ten or 15 minutes fussing over your cut of meat. They are tlnding, too, that not everything in Buffalo is old, quaint. or dilapidated. Sounding very much a convert, O'Neil was saying that "we are going to have to find ways to comb t mor tf tively th mlstak n id as peopl hav about Buffalo."

Oxf ord Univerllity Pre111, N•w \ York Cit11, 196'!. 100 pa.ge1. The fi rst of these h).lge books is a new beginning text in social psychology, designed for use by either sociology or psychology students. Dr. Hollander has organized his book around the concept of social inftuence as a pervasive social process an.d, working from this center, attempts an integrated study of human social relationships. lnftuence is viewed in transactional terms with contemporary emphasis on cognition, the perceptual features of social interaction, and social exchange. In development, the work proceeds a,.tematically from the general and hiltorieal through to the special plac:e of attituda and of social lnteraetion, and then on to the nature of partieular social, cultural, and croup lnlluenees and phenomena. 13 �14 The work is wholly contemporary in ita citation of examples from newspapers and other mass publications and in its lavish use of graphs and figures printed in color - the latter, a first in aocial psych text publishing. The development, major trends and basic tenets of the field are documented in more than 700 ref renCJ!S, and chapter summari a and name . and su bject indexes are included. 1 Also fresh from the presses is the second edition of Curre1tt Perlpectivu ·in· Social Psl/clt.olo(ll/, an expanded, updated version of the Hollander-Hunt collection of readings first ))ublished in 1963. Like ita predecessor, this work is aimed at providing students of aocial psychology with an awarene a of the scope of the field . Sixty-five studies have been selected (and, in most cues, edited ). each chosen to repre nt some productive insight with broad research implications. Thirty-two of the selections were retained from ·ti¥ earlier book; 33 are new to this edition. In all, more than half the material included was written since 1960. Two new section headings have been added to the eight original ones - "Organizational PrQCeases" and " J.ntergroup Relations." Now claiiSic viewpoint. from Gordon Allport, Charles Osgood, B. F . Skinner, and S. I. Hayakawa are included as well as essays by such newer figures as Oscar Lewis. Over 900 reference worka are listed in a master bibliography. Dr. Hollander received his B.S. from Western Reserve University and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Columbia University. He has held poata in aocial psychology at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Washington University, and American University, and was a Fulbright professor at the University of Istanbul in 1957-58. During the past academic year, he was a viaiting I ntlat at the Tavlatock Institute of Human Relations, London. A noted acholar of lea'd nhip and group proc a, he Ia th author of an earlier book, Lf'od r1, Group1, and ln!fwmet ( 1964). Dr. Hunt obtained hia bach lor's and doctorate d gr a at State University at Buft'alo, wh r he now also teaches In the graduate program in aocial psycholo .

Colleague LIB-UA044 Description An account of the resource By the early 1950s, the University of Buffalo had expanded from a small group of autonomous schools into a modern university with 14 divisions and a central campus. No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

As a re ult, the chemist who thi year reads twic a much as last year teadily loses ground. In many ways, the information explosion (whose mot~t visible r suit is this proliferation of printed materials) is comparable to the population one. In some ways, it is more difficult to deal with. A univer ity can hardly adapt India' plan and offer a transistor radio to v ryone who volunt er not to write a book this year. Fostering the di semination of knowl dge mu t remain one of the most fundamental commitments of the academic community. o what i the an wer? What does a univerity do in the fa~ of a tidal wave of paper ? Fortuno\ltely, thi campus has its Noahs, a group of men committed to keeping the Univer ity afloat in spite of the ' information deluge. They are already hammering away at a solution - the University Information System (UTS) . The UIS, which will someday girdle the entire University, is presently of interest to men attached to everal campus unit , particularly the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Ultimately, it will fully integrate three ODD DO DID major components - library activities, computer service , and an audio-visual configuration including closed-circuit TV and film-making. Still fragmented, it now consists of several rather isolated man-machine information subsy terns, everal using computers in different way . The vanguard Technical Information Dissemination Bureau (TIDB) in Williamsville is a fu nctional example. But for the future, the Faculty envisions an interlocking network of information sub-systems with greatly expanded capabilities. One major application of the System will be the library aspect. The UIS will eventually have the capacity to centralize and store in minispace the entire holdings of the Law. Library as well as the collections needed by all the other Faculties. At the same time, it Ylill help alleviate the shortage of information-handling personnel by delivering data requested from this storehouse directly to the user at the terminal mo t convenient for him. It can make life even easier for the user by helping him select and sub equently delivering only the information de ired, saving him time which would otherwise be spent probing a card catalog, roving through the stacks, and even travelling to and from the library. In addition to technical and scholarly information, the UIS will store University vital statist1cs, student records, budget figures, and the like. As machine-graphics and holographic techniques become more sophisticated, two and even three dimensional materials will be added to the store. • Supplementing its own data base, the System will link with compatible systems at other institutions, including the high-speed micro-wave hookup among the SUNY University Centers, forrrling a kind of instant InterLibrary loan on a giant scale. Most important, such a system will have numerous academic applications, interacting with users to spark the creation of new information which can, in turn, be processed instantaneously. The UIS is a high priority item for Engineering and Applied Sciences Provost F. Karl Willenbrock.

T h lp hap the ~ystem itself, the Univer ity can turn to r. Vince·n t E.

He is totally committ d to proclueing the badly needed p rsonnel to taff conventional community and school librarie . But as an expert in computer technology, operations research, systems analy. i , mathematical linguistics, and d cument and information storage and retrieval, he is also planning for the time when a full-scale information syst m will be as central to university life as the tradi tional library is now. · I ' "After all," he says, "the library as we now know it developed during the 18th century a a result of the economic scarcity of books. Today, we are inundated with books. There' even a , rack of paperbacks in the supermarket. The paperback revolution has mad books virtually disposable. "Becau e of the n w technology, the di tinction between computer- tored information and printed material is vanishing. We are entering a new generation of research and development on machine-aided documentation and language utilization." Of course, the words "machine" and "computer" till strike terror in the hearts of orne, but the way Dr. Giuliano tells it, automated information management is acquiring a new humanism. "Right after World War II, when thi field was just opening up, information proc ing consisted of a few i olated experiment , clever technological tricks using notched card , for example. These were not hugely succes ful. "In the late '50's, computerized information handling wa attempted on a large cale. For the most part, two kinds of operations were undertaken. Fir t, attempt were made to imuJate human processes with machines - the largely failed experiments in computer translation of language fall into this first category. Second, computers were used to automate tedious! routine ?rocedure - compiling and updatmg flat hsts are a familiar example on campus. tu.

I arly, the Dewey Decimal Sy tern i going have a changed relevance in the managem nt of much of the information proce s d in this way. In light of thi , Dr. Giuliano has air ady reque t d a new nam for his embryonic libr ry chool - th School of Graduate Information and Library Studie . (In a related development, the School r cently appended the University's T chnical Information Dis emination Bureau.) ) Little more than a dean, a few dedicated facui y member , a Hay Hall phone number, nd a budget thi Summer, the School will soon / be nrollin students in two programs. A more traditional cour in library tudies will prepare individuals for po itions as community and school librarians. In this equence, applied ocial science will be administered in large do es along with the familiar coursework in cataloguing, etc. The School will also initiate a unique sequence in information science. Two objectives have ~n d termined for the information sc~ence area. First, it will prepare studen for careers in research in and development of information y terns per se. Second, it will offer graduate work in the technology of information handling to per ons with specialized undergraduate training in other fields, chemi try majors, for example. The resultant chemical information specialists will be prepared to serve as the ab tracters, editors, and related personnel so sorely needed in the in- DDDDI dividual disciplines affected by the information boom. Still free form, the School is sure to feel the shaping pressures of Dr. Giuliano's own enthusiasms. This Summer, he participated in an intensive management training program concerned largely with interpersonal communication and organizational patterns, held at B the!, Maine. Since then, he has been synthesizing a theory which integrates personal, computer, media and printed communication that already looms large in talk about the School. In McLuhan fashion, he also hopes to exploit the potential of the two-dimensional media, particularly television. "I am concerned about the middle grounds b tween purely interpersonal communication and communication incorporating the printed and electronic media. That interface is where dialogue and real action is taking place." How does the Library School relate to the University Libraries? Eventually, the Libraries will be fully integrated into the UIS. Already, Libraries officials are in the process of compiling a machine-readable shelf list, a longterm project entailing a computer hookup with Cleveland. When this is completed and programmed on the campus computer, a faculty member will be able, from his terll}inal, to prepare bibliographie without ever opening a card-file drawer. In this climate, a State University-wide information system might thrive. Eight State University units will hook into the campus's new $2 million computing system this Fall. Expansion of this regional center to incorporate all SUNY library holdings would provide this campus with an i,nvaluable training and reearch re ource .and, at the same time, give back to the centralized system .a continuing source of idea men and trained personnel. Whatever shape the UIS ultimately takes, it will meet with some resistance. To cite the media man once again, "The new electric galaxy of events has already moved deeply into the Gutenberg Galaxy. Even without collision, such co-existence of technologies and awareness brings trauma and tension to every living person." Musty stacks and silence and leather bindings will not easily give way to the plastic and polish of an automated information system. But, ultimately, it is programs such as UIS that will keep the University steppi.ng in time with the music of new spheres. 3 �' �H HOW SICK .WERE OUR PRESIDENTS? by Milton PI ur istory has shown that Washington was great, but in light of the sicknesses which plagued him - disease resulting from ill-fitting dentures, rickets (which gave his chest a flat and hollow appearanc'e ), measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, diphtheria, malaria (or ague), smallpox, and pleurisy he gains almost superhuman stature. To his credit, George did not smoke (he frowned even when he smoked an Indian peace pipe), but, unfortunately, he did place great faith in the curative values of bloodletting. His last illness (he died December 14, 1799) saw "such treatments afforded as bloodletting; drinking a mixture of molasses, vinegar, and butter; and applying a blister of Spanish flies to the throat, a sage tea and vinegar gargle, and blisters and cataplasms of wheat bran to the legs. All his life, John Adams had a chip on his should r. "His Rotundity," a vain, extremely nsitive chip off the old Plymouth Rock, was a probable neurotic. He was deluded that events of general impact and having no relation to him were directed against him personally. His diary speaks of feeble health and, yet, he Jived on to 90 . Jefferson's many ills (chronic intestinal infection , amoebic dysentery, arteriosclerosis, cystitis, and hypertrophy of the prostate gland among them) helped make him a brilliant clinical observer. He was always fascinated by medical research. This l' homme universel was opposed to bloodletting, the use of cathartics ("It is not to physics that I object so much as to physicians"), established a medical chair at EDITOR'S NOTE: Johnson bares a surgical sear for the press, and the late President Kenpedy's adrenals are the subject of published medical speculation. Jnereatingly, the health of the President of the United States ia a matter of public record as well as personal concern. In the catalog of medical horrors excerpted here, Dr. Milton Plesur suggests that, in matters of Pr sldential health, the American people have had little to be anguine about. Our 36 chiet executives have been subject to coronaries, cancer, even cirrhosis, the aame unhappy specters haunting citizens in far less responsible positions. These thumb-nail ease histories of 17 American Presipenta were delivered at the Fifth Annual Meeting of.tb\e New York State College Health Association, held May 4-6, 1967, in Sackett Lake, New York. Dr. Plesur, an associate professor of history and former acting dean of University College, received his bachelor'• degree at State University College at Buffalo, hia muter's at the University at Butr.alo, and his Ph.D. at the University of Rochester. Author of more than a dozen articles on American hiatory, he currently teaches couraea in recent United Statea hiatory, foreign relationa, and American intellectual history. 5 �6 his prized University of Virginia, and propagated the need for a mallpox vaccination.

Violent purging and vomiting debilitated th Pr sident. Also administ red were antidote uch as opium, camphor, and brandy, together with primitive remedies used by the Seneca , including a mixture of crude petrol urn and Virginia smokewe d, toxic cures which even the sturdiest could hardly withstand.

The Lincoln family was alway ill, and no wonder, since a ho pita! with oldier dying of dysentery and typhoid was no farther away than a fly could travel. Humid nights, avariciou Potomac River mo quitoe , out-hou es, open garbage dump , and a menagerie of pets wreaked havoc at 1600 Penn ylvania Avenu . Ulysses S. Grant, an ignorant, confused, and naive primitive in blunderland, wa a heavy drinker. His alcoholism may have been rooted in a hereditary tendency aggravated by personal maladjustment. Rejected by his family (his father dubbed him "Usele s"), he transferred his love to horses which afforded him not only companionship but a ense of power. Grant, before the beard, had rather feminine features. He had the physical mode ty of an old maid, took no morning ablutions in the nude, and confided at the age of 60 that no one h!ld seen him naked ince childhood. A heavy ctgar smoker, Grant developed cancer in later life and ro e to hi greatest heights in battling the di _ease_. In orde~ to provide for his family, the d1ctat10n of ht memoir , which Mark Twain published, wa a race with death. �In an age of innocence, when th pleas ures of th ta le w r not sour d by calorie counting and chol sterol, Chester A. Arthur was not d for rving opulent dinners featuring heavy food and fine wines and liqueur . The Presid ntial girth expanded and he uffered from in ig tlon. Death was probably due to a chronic gallbladder condition.

Cleveland was fitted with an artificial jaw of vulcanized rubber and then a permanent, hard rubber jaw fu d with an upp r dental plate. He died 15 years fter th oper tion t th age of 71 from pulmonary thrombo is, edema, and heart failure. The tory of this pion r cancer-treating techniqu is ill !itt! realized and i one of the mor dramatic incidents in the history of Presidential h lth. As an infant Teddy Roosevelt suffered from bronchial a thma and a quack recommended smoking cigars! off somehow proved more ffective in controlling the di . Respiratory and dig stive all rgi s r tard d his physical d velopm nt, and h was pale, thin, and small. Th probl ms were solved by a strenuous, outdoor , W tern-r ncb regimen and even as Pr ident, h ex rei d for two hours daily. During a wr tling workout in the White House gym, he suffered a detached retina which left him practically blinded in one eye. The President !ways had protruding teeth and in that pre-orthodontic era, the only remedy came with age: they were fiidden under that famous walrus mu che! Teddy, de pite a whole lifetime of dash and energetic motion embracing such activities wrestling, boxing, playing tennis, big-game hunting, horsemanship, and rifle shooting, did not Jive long into his 60's. Taft, the largest of all chief executives (330plu pounds), was always a heavy eater--even while serving in the Tropics. His only exercise was a short walk before dinner, and when he occasion Uy took to horseback, the horse received the exercise. At one time, he reduced to 250 but when he still got stuck in the White House bathtub, a special one was installed the ize of a mall pool. . ' Wilson, as we have seen, suffered from nervous indigestion - in fact, so much so that he was a college drop-out for a year and, as President, used his own stomach pump daily. The stroke he suffered as a result of an arduous cross-country "swing-around-the-circle" defending his beloved League of Nations rendered him disabled for six weeks and no cabinet meeting was called for eight months. Twenty-eight bills become law without his signature. The ecrecy surrounding the illness gave rise to all sort of rumors - venereal disease, insanity, deformity of the left knee due to Charcot's disea e, and many more. Keeping the public uninformed as Mrs. Wilson and Dr. Grayson did is certainly no longer the policy - today the public is informed of every Presidential wheeze and sneeze. Warren G. Harding was an interesting man and a compelling medical case. H. L. Mencken once stated that "no other such complete and dreadful nitwit is to be found on the pages of American history" and, together with Grant, Harding was rated twice by historians as a failure president. In January, 1922, Harding supposedly contracted influenza· but there is reason to suspect that he sustained a coronary thrombo11is. A "rest" trip to Alaska was prescribed and during it he suffered a seizure wbich had at first been diagnosed as cardiac involvement. But, "Doc" Sawyer, the President's personal physician and "Ohio Gang" crony, who, to put it mildly and charitably, was not a genius of medical elevation, described the ailment as an acute gastro-intestinal attack induced by crabmeat (copper ptomaine poisoning). Of course, it was later discovered that the President haP had no crabmeat. To compound the sittla!ion, no strict bed rest was enforced. Three days later, in San Francisco, there was a new seizure diagnosed as bronchopneumonia and circulatory failure. While Mrs. Harding, "The Duche s," wa reading to him from an article entitled "A Calm Review of a Calm Man," Warren died. The official bulletin read apoplexy or rupture of a blood vessel in the axis of the brain. Other sources feel that death was more probably due to a coronary thrombosis. Before hi death, Harding had suffered from hypertension, angina pectoris, an enlarged heart, acute ga tro-inte tina! attacks, etc. His weight had climbed to 240 pounds. That there wa no autopsy allowed gave ri e to preposterous rumors that he took poison or died of a venereal infection. However, the uncomfortable medical fact is that five phylticians were unable to coordinate ,the clinical siry of 7 �. l· 8 hi fatal uin s and that, despite th fact that the electrocardiagram was fir t d mon trat d in America in 1918, none wa taken f Harding in 1923. FDR presents an arre ting m dical tory . At deliverv his mother rec i d an overdo of chlorof~~m and he wa almo t a phy iated.

But during th Roos v It year few American ever really knew that their President could not walk a tep unaided or without heavy brae . ecr t ervic men holding him under the shoulder and hidden by that famou cloak kept thi fact a r t for year . A ide from the aftermath of that di ease, ever-pres nt bronchitis, inus attacks, and the like, FDR's m dical condition wa not critical until 1944. Rumors of ill ne , pecially a a fourth term loomed, were a commonplace that year. Indeed, some "exp rt " cont nd d that a 1 cerebral hemorrhage occurred as early a 1938, the first of four uch st roke . Vice Pre ident Truman, after the Yalta Conf renee arly in 1945, wa di turbed by the "bo 's" appearanc , and correspondent .Merriman Smith ha stated ' that he saw the President die over a p riod of a year. ertainly, there were inc rea ed head colds, the brace were abandoned, cigarette were cut from two to one pack a day, his fac was haggard, he was nervous and jumpy, there was little taste for food, the voice was weaker, words were lurred, and the old Roo eveltian resonance was gone. He e en addres ed ongress seated and referred to his leg and th heavy bra<;es publicly for the fir t time. Then, too, he suppo edly uffered a stroke at Hyd Park in late March, 1945, and after an apparent recovery, rode by train to Warm Spring , where he died on April 12. It is inconceivable that his physician would not have accompanied FDR if he had, in fact, suffered a stroke and the situation were precarious. Those who hold to dramatic interpretations of history, believe that the Pr ident's supposed ell-out to the Ru ians at Yalta wa due to his failing health, probably due to a series of strokes. FDR was p sibly sick and tired at Yalta but he wa neither incapacitated nor senile. In the ab ence of better evidence, it must be assumed that there was no troke until the final one.

T h sungla tilt at the pre cribed 60 degr angle, and the desert boots and Ad1 r could belong to any better-kempt graduate tudent. H does ·not speak th language of hi tudent - what good teacher does - but he p ak th currently admired patois, "groovy," "W ltanshauung," "gras ," "busted," a vocabulary melding the languag of the ghetto, th competitive graduate chool , and the N w York Review of Books. Bruce Jackson, an a i tant profe sor of Engli h, turned down a po ition dealing with the control of drug abu in New York State to ign her . "It wa an 11-month job," he explain . If his job options em untraditional, consid r that he does mo t of his scholarly rearch in prisons. Whenever the weather was right this Summer, h took hi Faulkner clas (right after S495, American Folklore) out on the lawn by Annex A and taught on hi, stomach. Chainsmoking, chewing th gra s, enjoying the sun and the sound of his voice, he titillated hi bett r tuden with open-ended questions - "If this theologic 1 Thing in Faulkner doesn't ever goof, then why did the Civil War happen?" "Is thi a po boiler?," he a ked of "A Rose for Emily,'' and whey one traditionalist suggested that Faul~ner didn't write potboilers, Bruce countered by citing Faulkne.r's scenario for Tlw Egypti4n, "not one of t he film classics of aU time." With beer, the circle on the grass could have been a party dominated by its compeJJing, iconoclastic host, a .party with potential beyond words about books. Somedays, Bruce (calling him Mr. Jackson doesn't eem quite tenable) thinks of himself as a criminologist rather than an English professor. Five years ago, he probably thought of himself as a social activist, but today the switched-on people are not taking freedom rides, they're listening to the Jefferson Airplane. And Jiving in their minds. He displays his prejudices on his office door. This is an English Department schtick, 'an antidote against the awful boxy sameness of its quarters. From the hallway, you can't see through the windows, but you get some clue to who's beyond the door. On thl'! window of his borrowed office, stuck on a poster of tumbling, liquid forms, is a stamp, cancell d, depicting Marine Corps Reservists doing something vagl.Jely si nister. Next to it is a long, badly written Jetter which begins, "Dear Mr. Jackson, I read your article in the Atlantic on the subject of police and addicts. I was greatly disappointed that you saw fit to put obscene words in the article supposedly from the mouth of a 5-year-old and a policeman .. .. " Across the top - in red Ma~c Marker - he introduces his correspondeRt,l "Here's the enemy." (Perhaps in a coordinated maneuver, the Enemy within has ripped the offending article from Lockwood's newly bound '66 Atlantics.) A trained sociologist as well as a scholar of penal lore, Bruce is very much aware of the enemy. The American prison system scores as an institution peculiarly adapted tO perpetuating -and intensifying the deviant behavior it punishes. Reform, he says, over an ale, in the course of a conversation studded with prison jargon that would blow the mind of his Atlantic fan, must begin in the juvenile prisons and county jails ("Everybody makes money on county jails"). "Prison's a school just like any meet your campus colleague 9 �/ 10 other. By t he time an offender reaches a maximum . security prison hi b havior is pretty well structured. Of course, the real problem occurs even earlier - on the streets, in the awful schools, the wrecked homes. W '11 be amortizing the money wa ted in Viet Nam for a long, long time." To psych himself for sociological res arch, he occasionally overnights in the heat of a cluster of Texas prisons. "Pri ons depress me," he admits after one of these forays into th forcibly closep society. But he comes out with what h went in for - right now, he has a garagefull of IBM cards punched with the career hi tot ies of 1200 Southwestern convicts and a collection of over 200 tape recordings of prison n1{tteri al. Research into the parameters of prison life - its codes, nicknames, language, music, lit rature - has taken him into six of the 13 institutions run by the Texas Department of orrection and into prisons in Missouri, Ma sachusetts and Indiana as well. Most of his findings are recorded in a stack of scholarly articles, but he find s that the texture of prison life I snows through more vividly in other media. Last year, with Peter, Toshi, and Dan Seeger, he completed a 30-minute documentary film entitled "Afro-American Worksongs in a Texa Prison." Stars of the flick were inmates of 1 •• the Ellis Unit, Texas Department of Correction, in Huntsville, a unit for multiple recidivists, inmates who pose major ecurity and disciplinary risks. On the Board of Directors of the Newport Folk Foundation (which produces the annual Newport folk festivals and sponsors folkloristic activities and research), he has to his credit five LP's drawn from his field recordings. Issued on the Electra, Takoma, and Folk Legacy labels, they include Neg1·o Folklo1·e from Texas Prisons, Fout· High Walls, Talking A bout My Time and Ever Since I B een a Man Full Grown. A disk called Wake Up, Dead Man is forthcoming from Topic (England), and the Library of Congress plans to include a recording of the Texas worksongs in the series releas~d by its Archive of Folk Song. Perfectly capable of turning out the arcane stuff spewed off university presses (the University of Texas Press is publishing hi The Negro and His Folklore in 19th Century Periodicals), he takes a novelist's pleasure in ordering the material he gathers in his prison and police work. Currently, he is cleaning up a manuscript called The Thiefs Primer, to be published by Atlantic-Little, Brown sometime after Bruce's manuscript readers - working prof ssionals in th field of inquiry - h ve okay d it. Th bulk of the book is a long monologu by an extr m ly articulat ch ckwrit rturn d- af cracker, Bruc encounter d in the field. He recently dited a collection of new ays, Folklor and ocicty, and is preparing for publication two folklore collections, on of worksongs, th other of N gro traditional v rs narrative . Still to be published are findings based on fi ldwork in th Ozarks, Appalachia, and Indiana. Unburdened by any sir to g t a Ph.D., h has a patch-work chool r cord: P.S. 67, Brooklyn, the in vitable four y ar in high school where he hung tenaciou ly in the fifth quintil of his graduating class, 60 hour!! at Ne)Vark College of Engin ering, English and physi s at Rutgers, th n a master' in literary criticism (on a Woodrow Wilson) at Indiana, and four years at Harvard as a junior fellow in the Soci ty of Fellow . While in mbridg , h studied, taught a coupl of course at Harvard in folklore and drug abuse, and, last Summer, served a senior con ultant for th Cambridge research group studying drug abus and law enforcement for the President's rime ommission. He lists several reason for coming to Buffalo. "This is the mo t exciting English D partment in the country," h says. "Harv rd was depressing som time becaus ther wer so many middl -aged men who had just turned 30; here, no on ha dried out. "Second, the area i great for the kind of resea~ch I do in folklore and oc.ioloffY. have m Buffalo a numbe,r of ethmc mmontt that have maintain d both cultural integrity and mutual ho tiUty. Here, you can 8tudy group dynamics and collect folklore in a vital context. You know, we've all done our tint collecting in the South rn Appalachians and the Ozark , but that's finish d. It's in the urban areas where the interesting material is now." With the help of hi students, he hopes to establish a folklore archive of local tales, proverb , cures, mu.sie, and superstitions. "At Wayne State, the folklore archive turned out to be useful for more than folklo.ristic studies. Social scientists working in Detroit wer able to derive ethnic profiles from the archive which were helpful in field investigations and community action projects. I'd like to see the same thing happen here." This is English? Not the way that. te.rribJy angry letterwriter !.earned it.

Stat e Univer11ity of ew Yo1·k Preu , 1967. 3 :J pagetJ. 011 Dr. Anto n's book is essentially a /el flch'l'ift presented to American POLITICAL MODERNIZATION t philosoph r and teacher of philosophy J ohn Herman Randall, Jr., on t he occaaion of his 65th birthday (retirement age at Columbia) in 1964. ( Accidentally, it is one o! the ha ndful ot volumn - almost all of simila rly pecialiUd interest -to hea r t he impri nt of the nascent State University of Ne York pr .) As a major contributor to the f ormula tion ot a naturalistic metaphysics, John Randall trace~ his philosophicAl lineage all the way back to Aristotle. He is also, ae Dr. Anton pointe out, a reepected historian of philosophy, author of a monumental study of TILe Career of P hiW•ophJI, still In progress. However far-rang;in_g his intellectual intereste, Randall ie also very much a man of a plaee - Columbia Univel'llity. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Columbia Collep In 1918, he studied there under John Dewey and Frederick J. E. Woodbridge. He was awarded a Columbia doctorate in 1922 and named in 1151 to the University's ftrst Frederiek J . E. Woodbridge ProfeuonhJp of the H iatory of PhiJ010pb:r. 1n retirement, RaD4al1 maiatailll the echool tie u a echolar a& 1M Columbia-Paclua Inatttate, a J*t project with tlie Un iversity of Padua, Italy, devoted to the study of the Aristotelian tradition. Dr. Anton, Jacques Barzun, and Joseph Blau are among the philosopher's former students and colleagues to contribute essays and reminiscences to the volume. To Dr. Anton's credit as editor of this kind of work, he avoids manyof the pitfalls seemingly built into the genre. He labels clearly the memoirs and tributes, separating the purely laudatory fram the more solidly critical papers which make up the bulk of the collection. He also includes, In addition to a biographical sketch, a comprehensive bibliography of Randall's works from " Instrumentalism an·d Mythology," published in 1919 in the J ou1"t!.al of Philosophy, to an article on Josiah Royce and AmeriCAn idealism published in the same journal last year. Dr. Anton took degrees at Columbia in 1949, 1950, and 1954. He also holds a certificate from the University of Athens. A member of the University at Buffalo faculty since 1962, he formerly taught at Ohio Wesleyan, the University oJ Nebraska, and the University of New · Mexico. A member of numeroua professional organizations including the American PhilosOphical, ClaB!ical and Humanist Associations, the AmeriCAn Society for Aesthetics, and the Society for ,.Ancient Greek Philosophy, Dr. Anton is the author of three earlier books: Meaning in Religiou. Poet"' (1954), Arilltotle's Theo"l of Contrariettl (1957), and Sciettce, Philotlophfl and Our Educt~­ tional Ta~kll (1966) .

Primaril~. it is a study of technique, pl ae1ng in context Fielding's u ~ lhe ironic conv ntions of the Age of Rea so n by numerous citations from his first works. A detailed analysis of the author's manipulation of the ironic mask and chief form s of verbal irony culminates in an in-depth survey of ironic devices at work in J ost'ph A 11d1·tws - the . major accom plishm ent of Fieldin g's early period. On the basis of textual comparison, Levine concludes in the course of the study that Jonathan Wild was writteh, for the most part, considerably earlier than Josl'ph nd1·ew11, before Fielding was able to achieve the mastery of the ironic mode evidenced in the latter nov I. Dr. Levine holds a bachelor's d · gree from Tufts ollege and advanced degrees from Columbia. Before joining the University at Buffalo in 1963, he se rved on the English faculties at Columbia and Northwestern Universities. \sLITHERY SNAKES AND OTHER AIDS TO CHILDREN 'S WRITING - by Dr. Walt er T . Petty, professor, language arts and eleml.'nlary education, and Mary Bowl'n. AppletonCentury-Crofts, 1967. 99 pages. 1 " This book," begin the authors of Slithery Snakes, "is based upon a very simple concept, the conviction that children can and should be taught many of the aspects of cr ative writing heretofore largely reserved for those adults preparing to become professional writer ." Don't believe them.' Ther is very little that is simple about this unusual teaching guid . It is a complex, unconventional book whose real basic premiae is that children have a capacity to learn and to create without reference to any elaborately formulated timetables. What the authors propos to do is to show teachers how to order the wildlife preserve of a child's imagination. Their tools? The same ones which have proved effectiv for adults who make a living ordering their own wild places. Writing must be catalyzed, and Petty and Bowen begin their " How to" by suggesting some stimulants. Discouraging the shopworn device of assigning specific topics (not a mention of "What I Did on My Summer Vac:ati?n"), they propoee a number of mor original prods. For amp I , they sugg , t t lling the child, "You are manufactur r of toys fot· children nd ju t invented a n w toy. Nam it. D sign the packaging. Writ the adv rtising." This exampl , whi h could be an assignment given coli g - a~ee Btudents in one of th 'niversity'!l adv rtising art cia es, typiti the maturity of th author ' appro ch . The child whose teach r or par nt I arn from this book will, in turn, learn adult I sons. As a writer, he will be encouraged to proofread, to rewrite, to accept th d isappointment of a I ss-than-p rf t finish d product, and, most important, to di scover that the input from all five sens s (Including that derived from television and th adv rtising media so familiar to children) can be transformed and communicat d through writing. Be id s all the other thing!! recommending it, Dr. Petty's book has wonderful, slithery snak on the cov r.

Colleague LIB-UA044 Description An account of the resource By the early 1950s, the University of Buffalo had expanded from a small group of autonomous schools into a modern university with 14 divisions and a central campus. No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

To the inhabitants of Buffalo's N gro ghetto, the University ha traditionally be n "a Whit man's institution." Except for the lucky few, the hall of ivy at the City's edge hav appeared unapproachable. T But now the -IJniversity has reached out, and uddenly lt i8 on Jeffer on Avenue and at two other locations characterized formerly by extreme educational deprivation. There, in storefront extension centers, the University is translating into action the statement made during Senator Jacob Javits' Febru- ary tour of the East Side that "the University ought to be a living influence in the community, not just an ivory1tower." The Woodlawn Education Information Center, the fir t of the storefronts, was established in January by the Cooperative Urban Extension Center, a joint undertaking of State University at Buffalo, Canisius, Rosary Hill, and D'Youville Colleges, and the Erie County Technical Institute, supported by an initial grant and subsequent financing from Federal funds under Title I of the Higher Education Act. Since Woodlawn opened in January, two more storefronts have gone into the continuing education business. In lat~ March, a second opened on Ridge Road in Lackawanna and this month �2 a third is scheduled to open in Buffalo's Fruit Belt. "The basic concept of the tor front ducation centers is that the Univer ity and the colleges in the area have, at their di po al, knowledge and talents in the form of stud nts, faculty and administration which remain larg ly un tapped by_ the community," explain Project Director Dr. Frank Besag, an a sistant professor in the University's School of Education. From that premise to the conclusion that extension centers should go to tho e parts of th community which have so far had I ast acce . to that talent and knowledge was just a short step. The Woodlawn Center on JetTer on i th project's oldest. It is a rented storefront in th Jefferson-Utica business district, flanked on the one side by a record shop, the outdoor sp akers of which blare out pop song and jazz until latf'! into the night, and on the other ide by a 1 "discount" store. Open the door, and you find yourself in a large, old building bright ned with freshly painted walls covered by childr n' art work. On the floor are a couple of folding chairs, a few tables, one with a typewriter, ·t and somewhere not far from the door, Mr. Lawrence Peter on, the director of the enter and a part-time barber at the House of Player, across the street. Through the information centers, the participating chools are providing an immediate input in+-o the innt!r city. But the community, too, gives of its time and talents. For example, local residents act as center directors. Not only doe this simplify any initial contact problems, but it also, perhaps more importantly, provide the University with an individual who can interpret the needs of th community back to the campus. This close contact with the ghetto subcultur involves the University in a two-way learning process. Members of the community who become involved, either as volunteer or a tutee , play an important role in educating th University in the ways and needs of the City. The novelty of the experiment in storefront extension centers lies not merely in their location and staffing but also with the new view of community action upon which their operation is based : the belief that the people in the c()mmunity know .best what they need. Therefore, the center open with no preconceived program other than to provide whatever educational assistance is requested. "Most of the people who come by," says Mr. Peterson, "are young adult who feel frustrated by the inflexibility of an educational system that does not serve the needs of the dropout, th poor, or th und r kilJ d." To which Dr. B g add , "Th r would c rtainly no poi nt in our off ring any program, no matter how w 11 cone iv d, if no on i int r st d in taki ng it." To ensure that th c nt r' progr m r main clo to th "f It n ds of the community," ch center ha its own policy-making body, a ing commit of local r sid nt which act a Jiai on betw n th chools and th community. At Woodlawn, th st ering committ con, ists of a te lwork r, a busin m n, two hers, a barber and a butch r, an of whom ar longtim r idents of the neighborhood . rved by th nter. In th words of on of th t r· ing committ m mber , "Frank (B g) I us run it, and so th p pi who u. th plac rea1ly feel it's theirs." Thi strongly community-ori nted, let-th • p opl -decide-what-they-want approach i emplitied in the person of th Woodlawn C nter director, Mr. P terson.

Although the storefronts are not ocial a ncies, they ar conceiv d of as inform I cl arin1 hou s for information on the vailabl ociaJ r ourc of the ity and County. About half of th qu lion. brough in d al with a probl m within th compet nee of orne soci 1 a ncy, and the e are referred directly to that agen y. A Mr. Peter on explain , "Many of th ~ pie aren't aware of the City' social ag nci don't know how to reach them or don' kn w which one to apply to." When welfar , le I aid, job or job training problem ari e, a knowledgeable per on and a direct phone call e.an ometime ave agonizing hours of unc rtain , r d tape and bewilderment. The center director may not have th answen to all question . Many of the question rai can and should be an wer d only by expert · But he does have a list of such people, u ually students and f culty, 11 volunteers, on call It is, thus, through the center dir tor th.at the resources of the participating schools ar made available to the community: · It was originally expected that the primary function of the centers would be the di mina- �lion of inform tion relating to college entrance, high school diploma equivalence, and night school. But a the n ds of the people in th community becam apparent this concept was gr atly broaden d. "From the perspective of th campu , it is very difficult to tell what the peopl in the ghetto will n d or want," Dr. Be ag points out. "Wh n . om on walks in with an ducational probl m or a d sir to I arn som thing, we cr te a program to fit his need ," says Mr. P t r on. If th r que t is 'routine, th p rson is a igr} d a tutor or joins an already establi h d cia . If not, a r ource man in the field of inter t is Joe ted from th Center' Jist of volunt s, and he, often a professor at the Univ r ity or on of the coli g , comes in and ts up a program. The specific requ sts of a young cl rical worker and a girl who works in a n ighborhood bar got the enter tarted on a computer programming cour in ju t that way. "How could you predict that kind of a need in advanc ?," Dr. B ag a k , noting that there ar now 20 peopl nroll d in th course. Nin un kill d workers from a local factory ree ntly cam in to inquire about job training; coli g tud nts have ked for remedial help and coun ling; nd almost continuously, grade chool nd junior high school kids enter, a king for classes in art and math. Mike Nevins, Dr. Be g' as istant, r members a warm Friday night a coup! of w s ago wh n ten kids came to the enter and k d to tudy arithmetic. "Arithm tic on the fir t warm night of the year! Th kid really want to learn." Th number of programs expand with each n wly determin d ne d. At Woodlawn, for example, in addition to computer programming, th r ar curr ntly cours in consumer education, art, busin administration, and eeretarial and office practice. The other centers are just getting their feet on the ground and have mor mod st programs. The Woodlawn Center also maintains a colI ge advi ment lnd encouragement program, which serve two purpose . Fir t, it is de igned to make applying to college easier by making avail ble the ervices of a counselor, Mr. Elmer Birtsch of the University's Dean of Students Office. At Woodlawn, ten people have applied to go to school under the Upward Bound program and thr more have tentatively been accepted for the Fall seme ter at local colleges. It al o encourages students in the lower grades to think in terms of college through activities such as trips to area college campu These trips add a whole new dimen ion to the concept of higher educatio" for you ngsters to whom the idea has not alway been very real. I Recently, the entire eighth grade of a community school made s uch a trip to the UB campus. One enthusiastic visitor found the University "ab olutely perfect for medicine or cience." Another came away with "no doubt what oever about going to college," and even indicated that her major interest was psychology. The tutorial program - both remedial and honors- which began with individual requests, has become t he centers' largest single activity. Almo t every academic subject is taught on a one-to-one basis to tutees of elementary school, high school, and college age as well as mature adult. The tutors and volunteer staff initially came mostly from the campuses, but increasingly local people volunteer. Mark Pitts came in one day to ask about job training and stayed on to work as a volu nteer. "I have always wanted to be a part of something worthwhile," he says. Negro professionals who stop by to talk shop and give the place a onceover also have a way of ending up in back as tutors. Enthusiasm for the storefront extensions is growing at the University. Faculty, students, and administrators increasingly make themselves available for work at the centers. Recently, the tudent government voted $2,350 in support of the program. And, through the project,, student activists have discovered a way to share in the resolution of community problems and do so. Students and faculty alike, the volunteers agree that working in the community is at least as educational for them as for the tutees. Textbook material assumes that new dimension which personal experience brings. Learning, too, that there ar~ other life styles can be rewarding. As one, obviously well-acculturated tutor put it, "Until I worked here I didn't know where it was at. I didn't know how other people lived. Now t hat I am in the picture I am beginning to know what I have to do." In his statement on the relocation of the University in Amherst, President Meyerson took time out to stress the University's continujng commitment to the Buffalo urban community and cited the storefront extension centers as the latest example of that commitment. The University and the community have found that, in the centers, they are working together for the mutual benefit of both. The feeling of those committed to the project was perhaps be t summarized recently by a VISTA training director. When asked why the storefront were chosen as training centers for new VISTA volunteers, he answered, "You're where the action is, Man I" 3 �( Are your co-workers always just "hanging around"?

The little brown bat, much to the relief of bathomeowners, enjoys flies and mosquitoes, while the Vampire bat can eat little but fresh blood, and the "Flying Fox" bat limits himself to fruit.

H grew up in Moose ·J w, Sa katchewan, I ter atten'ded secondary schools and th Univer8ity there. In 1942, he was awarded hi M.A. at Harvard Univer ity and the following year won hi doctorate in physical ch mi try at Harvard. He joined the faculty · of the Univer ity at Buffalo in 1958 after teaching and research stints at his Canadian alma mater, the University of Melbourne, Australia, and the University of Wisconsin. Since then, personal achievements have included appointment as an honorary research associate, University College, London, during 1960-61; appointment to the University's first Larkin profes orship of chemistry in 1961, and assumption of the chairmanship of the local s ction of ACS during 1964-65. Author or co-author of some 50 scholarly articles, the majority dealing with the applications of i otopes to the study of the kinetics of inorganic chemical reactions, he recently published his first book, Chemical Kinetics, isued by D. C. Heath and Company. He has al o been active as a supervisor of projects parallel to his own research sponsored by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission and the National Science Foundation. While these accomplishments unquestionably influenced the award committee, the medal struck for Dr. Harris cites as his special contribution, "outstanding leadership in the development of the Department of Chemistry of the State University of New York-at Buffalo to its present level of excellence." Quantitative analysis bears out the laudatory prose. In 1956, the year Dr. Harris assumed the chairmanship, a chemistry faculty of 15 members taught and otherwise labored in cramped compartments in Foster Hall, partitioned to accommodate th School of Pharmacy as well. Graduate students that same year numbered only 25. Approximately the same number of juniors and seniors pursued an undergraduate chemistry major. The Department was academically sound, limited perhaps in it research facilities because of lack of space, but a going concern under the leadership of chairmar Henry M. Woodburn. Eleven years later, much of the potential implicit in that picture has become actuality. Although the Department now awards annually enough bachelor's degrees in chemistry to place it among the top ten in the nation, the undergraduate program has been sufficiently selective to allow graduate studies to blossom - 130 students are currently eeking advanced degrees, more than five times the figure of a decade ago. Almost all of these receive some kind of financial support - one good measure of their academic caliber. The faculty picture has also changed. Just 7 �8 over a dozen acadenaic staff m mbers carri d the teaching-res arch load of the mid-' Fifti . Today, ther are 29 faculty memb rs, 21 ngaged primarily in research ·and, thus, some - graduate-level teaching.

Matt rn . The research activity generated by thi expanded faculty has measurable eff t . During the last academic y ar, 167 publications emanated from the D partm nt, th bulk chronicling original re earch in on of its several areas of special strength: coordination chemistry (the theme of thi ar'. endowed Foster lecture eries), kinetics, ynthetic organic and organometallic chemistry, the chemistry of polyelectrolyte , lectrochemistry and thermodynamics of aqu ou solutions, fundamental theorie of cataly i , organic photochemistry, and structur and properties of organic and inorganic compounds. Since upgrading eems always to filter down, the big push in graduate studies and faculty recruiting has had its impact on the undergraduate program as well. Sophi ticated equipment, fabricated in the D partment' own hop or purcha ed through grant monies, is often us d in lower level cour. Clo e-range exposure to post-baccalaur at programs may also account - at lea t in part - for the predilection for advanc d study among the University's chemistry majors. Each year, three quarter of the graduating seniors enroll in either a professional or graduate school. The thrust behind the Department' current momentum comes from two principal ources, says Dr. Harri . One of the few successful competitors in the campus space race, the Department vacated eight years ago its small portion of Foster for new quarters. Lab , cia room , and offices relocated in brand new Acheson Hall, which provided the Department with an initial 83,356 gross �J ' ' ''I used to think that philosophy was something that old men talked about around the courthouse steps." Lynd Forguson is a young man, and he sits not on the courthouse steps but in an assistant dean's office in the College of Arts and Sciences. Nevertheless, he is a philosopher. On the other hand, he's also an administrator, teacher, artist, music lover and staunch opponent of the hasty general~zation - such as relegating philosophy to a musty corner peopled only by septuagenarians. But then he made that generalization himself before he took every philosophy course that Baldwin-Wallace College had to offer, lured from a future in business by his first philosophy professor. " I only went to college because one do es that," he recalls, · but his avid interest in philosophy soon dispelled that attitude and took him to Northwestern University where he received his master's and doctoral degrees. Now, philosophic thought pervades almo t every aspect of his life. "You can't help using philosophical methods no matter what you do," he insists. "'Phe critical point of view is very useful in slicing through the morass of details which you find in administrative work." Although teaching is his first love, Dr. Forguson attributes his willingness to accept administrative responsibility to the fact that •··somebody has to do it, and if we don't the job gets taken over by somebody who can't do anything else." He especially admires the Oxford University system by which faculty committees administer the University, but admits that "on the other hand, this method can slow down the whole operation." The phrase "on the other hand" pops up . frequently in Dr. Forguson's conversation because "philosoph~r~ don't like to say what they think until they've seen all the sides of the question." His deanship has put a strain on his adherence to that particular philosopher's trait. "In this job," he says, "I've found that I have to move quickly - I have a time limit and there just isn't time to sift all the sides to every qqestion." One of the questions which has faced him as an administrator has been the coordination and evaluation of the honors program for the College of Arts and Sciences. 9 �10 "Bright studentR become bored in regular clas es," he says, "but, on the oth r hand, if these tudents ar skimm doff the top and put in honors sections, r gular clas. be, come dull for the rest of the . tud nt minu the stimu lation of the bright r ones.'' Despite the growing emphasi upon graduate tudies, Dr. Forgu. on maintains a strong affinity for the und rgraduat . "If you don't care about undergraduat s, wher are you going to get well-pr pared graduate student ?" he asks. "Th undergraduat ar ofte n more exciting anyway - grad students sometime b come too cautiou ." Although, in some ca s, he tands b hind liberalizing undergraduate tudy and res rving sp·e cialized tudy for graduate . chool, h is opposed to making such generaliz d • tudy a requir ment. "Fin~t. we work d along the lin • of making specific cour e r quired, but th n you find some students taking cour • which th y think have no relevance to th ir • tudi . ," h exp lains. "Our present Rystem isn't working out, but let'R not make Romething 1 a r quirement in its place. I di. tru t g n raJ , olutions to problems - forcing p opl down Rome path they don't want to follow ." " om attempt hould be made to di cover ' what'R b Rt for each individual tudent," h concludeR, "and even with hug number. we've got to make this possible." Chronological proximity betwe n th 29year-old as11istant dean and hi student mu t account for some of his concern for th m. "Temperamentally and motionally I'm clo. er to my students than to , orne of my colleagu s," he ay . "Some of my graduate st udents are older than I am . A you g t older the memory of what it is to be a stud nt with all the red tape g t foggier ." Dr. Forguson keeps that m mory fr h by continuing to teach in the Philosophy D partment. He plan to again become a full-tim faculty memb r when he return to th campus, after spending next y ar at xford Univer ity. "You have to get out and recharge your batterie a a profe or and a cholar very once in a while and this makes it po. sibl for the whole operation to go on," he says. His philo ophical batteries, however, ar ever ready - he i a full -time philosopher, although he admit it has its drawbacks. "Sometime it gets in your way," he lam nts. "Take the Vietnam i ue. You ee the e people marching and you think, 'Maybe they have a point there and I should get out and march too, but then, on the other hand ... ' So what you wind up doing i itting hom and swe ring a lot!" Although Dr. Forgu on may be c utious , h j, no r nc -!'!itt r, and is w r of becoming simply a critic.

The major themes and statements of this great living force in American letter are r pre. en ted, including excerpts from the still evolving cycle of Maximus poems. In an introductory e ay, r ley summarizes the relevant biographical matter, notably Olson's youth in Gloucest~r, and then goes on to the focal point of his career, his years as a member of the faculty and later rector of Black Mountain College. During his sojourn in North Carolina, Olson published perhaps his most important critical statem nt, "Projective Verse" (1950), which Creeley interprets as a timely and effective challenge to the then still prevalent New Critical stance.

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

Nowhere, but nowhere else, is there an English Department quite as hip as this. Betw n classes, listen to the students' palaver. Unfamiliar name punctuate their conversation, Kesey. Leary, Borges, Olson, with nary a Shakespeare or Dryden. The students themselve are not the usual campus vari ty. That bearded, booted young man next to you ha a better than average chance of being a published poet. (In fact, o many people in this Department, students and teacher alike, write ver e that a box for the deposit of "Free Poems" has been installed above the faculty mailboxes.) Glance at the bulletin board . 1 The standard array of faculty positions wanted and available are there, along with the expected slingers for Summer writing workshops and internal memoranda. But beside them hang notices of psychedelic seminars, an invitation to join in the Rite of Spring complete with "oak trees, etc.," a call to support India' Hungry Generation poets. Ten years ago, there wa no Hungry Generation of Bengali poets. And that hints at what particularizes this Department. While other English departments continue to promulgate the words and ideas of the Lost Generation and its predec . sors, this one take the Beat Generation a its point of departure. Flexible, innovative, switched on, it is teaching English in the present tense. The man who made "Now" the Department' byword i Albert S. Cook, who served as chairman from 1963 until step. ping down last June. An alumnus of Harvard's prestigious Society of Fellows, Cook i a classical scholar, a poet, dramatist, and a bit of a wild man. A blunt-spoken New England- n sour m nt." r I y xempliti ~--------------~ th prof or peculiarly adapted to thi cad mic seen . He i , fir t of 11, front-rank er tive writer, best known for hi poems (coli t d for Scribn r's under th tit! , For Lov : Poem& 1950-1960 and Wor~) but also a novelist and tor • writ r . Moreover, a gradu and on -tim f culty member of Black Mountain Coli h exud th ur of a time and plac whose in.flu nee i still vital h r today. Until di band· ed in 1957, Black Mountain �on of Am rica's f w real communiti s of scholars. As its critics h ve be n quick to point out (Mary Me arthy takes a wip at it in The Groves of A eadem ) , almost anything w nt a t ach rs and students did th whole communal, pastoral bit in th hills of North arolina. As a totality, the Black Mountain experim nt failed afr 1 s than two d cades, but much of what was first tested ther has thriv d. Th lai zfair ducational philosophy of P ul Goodm n, so popular tod y that it is ndicated in student n wsp pers, wa partly form d t Black Mountain. Also shap d th r w s the style of th too ly-knit group of "Black Mountain P t ," notbly lson, Robert Duncan and r I y him If. "One corn r of this plac i Bl ck Mountain," y the D partment'a · current chief administra r, at the me tim pointing happily to at lea t five oth r corners. Finding a chairman to follow the example t by Cook, curr ntly on sabbatical at the nt r for Advanced Studi s in th B h vioral cienc California' "Think Tank," wa no e y matt r. olid academic ntials wer a must. But cr ning committe was al o king omething of an int rdisciplinary figur who could uit both the department's academician and some of it more flamboyant member . Their earch end d with the appointm n I t September 1 of Dr. Norman N. Holland, form rly head of the Literature ection at M.I.T. Holding a trio of advanced degrees· L.L.B., M.A., and Ph.D. from Harvard, as we!l p._s a bachelor of science from ~I.T., Holland carried with him from Cambridg n extremely catholi~ literary taste. To illustrate, he h taught, at various times and places, course in Shakespeare, Kafka, Eudot:a Welty, p ychology and literature, Baroque dram , the theory of com dy. Like the Department he now h ads, the young administrator is thoroughly unorthodox in his approach to literature. In the pages of professional activities and bibli raphy affixed to his resume e dozens of item likely ppall English professor of the Old School. He has not strayed quite so far from the Establishment as to quit the MLA. But he combines a love of the traditional genres and periods with a lively interest in Twentieth-Century fields too often considered outside the scope of literary scholarship - psychoanalysis, for example, and cinema. Thus, when enum rating his professional affiliations, he admits to membership in the Society of Cinematologists, the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (he completed their special cour e of training for nonmedical scholars), and the Group for Applied Psychoanalysis. The Department is made up of many men like Holland for whom literature transcends litrary history. Disciplinary boundaries are elastic to his mind. Psychoanalysis heightens hi under tanding of Shakepeare. inema emerge as an art form appropriate for "literary" investigation. Side b;v side in his bibliography are cholarly studie , including the recent Psychoanalysis and Shakesp are; a seriea of programmed instruction texts ; paperback editions of Shakespearean plays, and a raft of articles, reviews, and notes with titles ranging all the way from "Recent Drama Criticism: Bathtub in the No e" to " 'Do' or 'Die' in 'Mea ure for Mea ure,' I. iii. 43." Aware of the media message, he even owns up to television appearances. For two years, he had a weekly spot on WGBH, Bo ton, as "The Film Critic." And his series of half-hour programs on "The Shakespearean Imagination," offered by Harvard for credit, was picked up by NET for national distribution, a project halted only when a station fire destroyed the tapes. Structurally, the Department breaks down into an elaborate sociogram of students and faculty interacting with little regard for the time-honored hierarchy of rank and tenure. The professorial strata traditionally filled by older conservatives is studded with avant-garde writers, "the old 'rebels" Holland calls them. At the junior ranks of lecturer and assistant professor are the bulk of the Department's lite:t:ary historians, the conservative backbone of any English departme;,; While contemporary hterature is the faculty's special strength, other areas are well represented. In the rows of concrete cubicles lining Annex A sit, among others, Henry Popkin, sometimes drama critic for both the London and New York Times; blonde Patricia Thomson, visiting professor from Sussex; poets Irving Feldman, Mac Hammond, Hal Boner, John Logan, Jerome Maziaro; newcomer Burton Raffel, trained in· Jaw but more at home · as a translator of Anglo-Saxon and Indonesian poetry; long-time staffer Willard Bonner who during the Thirties discovered a cache of DeQuincey letters in the archives of the Buffalo Public Library; Joseph Riddel, winner of this year's coveted Explicator prize ; George Hochtield who heads the campus chapter of AA UP; visiting critic Lionel Abel; George Levine, author of Fielding and the Dry Mock; seventeenth century man Frederick Plotkin; Irving Massey, in1comparative literature; Elizablethan scholar Laurence Michel, and J. Benjamin Townsend, who· offers a course in which Pollock does more than Milton can to impress the principles of critical thinking on students of the '60's. Teaching fellows people the middle ground between fullfledged faculty and students. The fellow, a rarefied version of the teaching assistant, exchanges three class hours a week for a stipend recently upped to $3,000 a year (a sub- Holland 1 �( 2 j j .i .J I ...c ~ "l • J: :J 2 1 ~- IDI l l! ,.,. ,; .. 0 >. 1~ -·.. k.: J : \!)~ ~· ~i l' sidy which may be the highe t in the country). Dr. Holland isn't really s ure how many teaching fellows are presently squeezed into ooke basement. He estimates about 115, a<lmitting "w don't ke p records very well." What v r their exact numbers, their influence is tremendous. Perhaps even more than the star faculty, the teaching fellow is giving this Department its peculiar style and direction. Traditionally, theTA i overseer of one of the dreariest of obstacles laid in the path of undergraduates Fre hm:m English. To a survivor of the course as it is taught at mo t universities, Buffalo's newly restructured English 101-2 i almost unrecognizable. Beginning this Fall, fr shm n will meet in "cells" (for PR reasons, these are de cribed to the uninitiated - moth rs · and the press, one u p cts, as "groups" or "teams") . Under , the beneficent eye of Dr. Taylor Stoehr, an associate professor with special responsibility for the freshman program, these meetings · promise to range all the way from the familiar reading-writing experience to something suspiciously like happenings. When called upon earlier this year to revitalize the beginning English program, Dr. Stoehr invited prospective teachers to write their own course proposals. Remarkably free of cant about "principles of correct writing," a number of the responses speak of compo ition in the contemporary terms of "love" and "self-expre sion." Not a word, for example, about punctuation, grammar or usage in the following propo al r • cently posted on the Fre hman English bulletin board : "Basically, there is nothing and everything to be learned. We do not know much about teaching, but the emphasis seems to us to lie on learning. If the 'basic aims' can be stated at all, they are: that the tudents should enjoy the course and that English should be ~ class where, as one freshman puts it, 'you can be a human b ing,' wh r stud nts ~n asimilat all their xper1 nc s as one i suppos d to sort out th day's exp ri nc in dr ams; that th stud nts should f I fr to say what th y like, whatev r com s first to mind; that th y should ~ arn to li ten to th ir own mner voice watching th m lv in action' and p rc ption; that th y s hould com to a con cious und r tanding of th activity of making marks on pap r; that th loquacious should come to list n and th shy to sp ak." Other proposals ar fresh and human. On f llow would lik to off r a cour in "Words and Things;" anoth r outlin a program dir t d toward tyro cr ativ wri re taking a its t xt poetry wri ten since 1950. A woman f llow and her fiance prop " ourse in the Funny" in th hope that "a cour devot d to th funny might just mak them [fr hmen) loosen up nough to f 1." In the D partment's permi iv atmo phere, fr hm n do loo n up, at I t enough t.o write. Th ir most inter ting efforts are g th red tog ther periodically and di tribut d via the Freshman EngliAh R vi FER is gutsy littl journal.

Law School Dean William Hawkland said, "N rcotic is mor a m die I problem than a I g I probl m, and th law is pr ty far behind. I'd I s ag r to turn a narcotics-u r over to h polic than somebody involv d in a diff r nt kind of felony, such uto theft." H warn d, how ver, that to withhold information cone rning the commission of a crime might po ibly make the couM lor an accesory although no N w York S te cases exist to d monstr te this. On the other hand, some courts would recognize th coun lor-student r lationship as a privil g d on , akin to the psychi tri t.-patient and prles~onfessor relationship. On court, in fact, he recalled, in a C88e in which th n glig nc of a coun elor had been in trum ntal in the suicide of one of hi stud nt , exon rated the coun lor from liability u to take harsher action would have h rmed the effectiveness of the coun eling prof ion, and perhaps have discouraged much n d d personn l from entering the field. "Univ rsity counseling personnel apparently ar not held to t\ very high standard of conduct," ld Dean Hawkland. "A psychiatrist at a univ rsicy who gave bad counsel would probably get off easier than a ·p racticing psychiatrist." He noted, however, that there is nothing about the status of a university employee which could prevent him from being sued. "But if in the line of your job you are being sued, the university would probably reimburse you for your losses," he stated. " It would be very rare for a university person to be left holding the bag." The University at Buffalo, like its employees, does not po88e8s legal immunity, even though it i affiliated with the State of New York. Although sometimes states claim "sovereign immunity," New York State has given its permission to be sued via the Court of Claims. If the University and its personnel are liable for their actions, what of its students, who as minors might seem to be in a rather rosy position legally? "A student who ~ommits a crime is criminally liable," said Dean Hawkland, "but a person under the age of 21 cannot make a binding contract, with ev·e ral exceptions." One of the e exceptions is, in legai jargon, "nece sarles." Thus, a student may be liable for payment of tuition or books if these are considered necessities of the student "calling." As for loans, Dean Hawkland said, a student is liable for payment only if it can be proved that he u ed the Joan for "necessaries." · Can a student be forced to pay a fine? Yes, said the Dean. "A student can be held for ·this regardle of his age. Universities have the power to fine people if this is congenial to the aims of the university." In situations where the student cannot be held responsible, his parents may be liable in certain situations, particularly if their foreknowledge or approval of his actions can be demonstrated. In addition to liability and knowledge of crimes committed, numerous other legal questions confront university personnel. "Who has a right to look at what university records?" was onf suc}l query posed to Law Professor Wade Newhouse. He suggested, "there is a definite need for carefully drafted university guidelines as to what information should be released and to whom." The "Who," according to Mr. Newhouse, could be officers of the law and other investigative officials, parents, wives and husbands, among others. In the ease of those who may be paying the bills for the student, records may be shown with the consent of the student in question. If an investigative official should seek information without the student's consent, distinguishing between what information can be shared and that which should not be divulged is a must. . AdviBed Mr. Newhouse, "You could give the student's name and address, but if a disciplin- 5 �. 6 ary record is wanted, get a court order. If th officer really needs to see thi information h can get the order easily, and that will prot ct you. "If you do receive a court :mbp na to produce records," he continu d, "by all m an do it, as a general principle. Leave the res to legal counsel." · Freedom of a ociation and expre ion ar the constitutional concepts which could provid the exception to this "g neral principle," according to Mr. Newhouse. He cited as an example a request by inv stigative officials for name of offic r and membership li ts of campu groups which oppo e the war in Vietnam. "This is a controversial subject and th re is at least some question that the fir t amendment may be violated by handing out such information," he said, concluding that "the University should have specific policies to guide officer who deal in this most en itive area of human relations." . . . . 1 · Another sens1ttve area ha been the sh1ft m the responsibility of the univer ity away from its position in loco parentis to the theory that students are independent bodies except where " their behavior impairs the functioning of the university. "The courts in different areas may uphold either one of these theories," remarked Mr. George P. Smith, assistant dean and a sistant professor of law. Dean Smith surmised that New York State Courts would sub cribe to the "modern," permissive theory. Displaying a copy of the Sp ctrum, he noted that the masthead reads "the official publication of the State University of New York at Buffalo," but as the newspaper is written and edited by students, Dean Smith suggested that legally the statement would be better worded "the official student publication of the State University at Buffalo." Stating that "there should be limited control of student publications," Dean Smith said that these publications, as with the general pr , can be liable for obscenity, slander and libel. A recent ob cenity case, in fact, involved the University of Buffalo intimately, when the student editor of a campus fraternity m gazine was arrested on the basis of-a cover design. "Ob cenity is legally defined as hard core pornography," Dean Smith explained. "It may, according to . the New York statute, include material which is lewd, lascivious, filthy, indecent, sadistic, masochistic and/ or disgusting; and because of its very nature is not within the area of constitutionally protected speech or press." If th 1 gal definition m ambival nt as th word lt.8elf, th k y xplan tion m th t th final d i ion to wh th r th to magazin cov r is actually ob n would r t upon a d t rmin tion of Buff Jo's "dominant community stand rd." Thu , th di trict att.orn y would attempt to proV! th t th magazin cover tak n as a whol would, in fact, be offen" iv to th "aver ge" Buffalo citlz n, said ean Smith. On way of proving this point might for th pros cution to r ly upon pr viou ly d id d of obcas which would support the char cenity and by, perhaps, v n o ining th testimony of "r pr entativ " of the Buffalo community stand rds, uch s clergymen. It would r main for the stud nt by way of hi defen to dernonstr te that th rna rial i not obscen according to cont mpor ry tand~ ards of the community.

The evidence against him hould be made available to him. He hould h ve th opportunity to rebu and hould be protected from elf-incrimination.

Is he liable for punishment by the university as well? Said Dean Hawkland, "the university might want to adopt a policy not to punish a student who does something wrong if it isn't relevant to the university, as in the case of a speeding ticket." He noted, however, that a student who steals exam papers from a professor's office could be punished by the university, and, in addition, could be subject to civil punishment for breaking and entering. "We need a University Counsel- a full time staff member who could answer these legal questions for all of us," Dean Hawkland added.

DYNAMIC RESPONSE TO A CHANGING SOCIETY " It is in vit bl that a school who beginnings w r timulat d by a period of social chaos . hould r pond to current revolutionary social d v lopm nt in our society." This statement by Dr. B nj min H. Lyndon, d n of the School of Social W )far , is at one a cap ule history of th School, a d scription of its educational philo ophy and a prediction of its future course. Th chaos D an Lyndon refers to was that of th Gr t D pr ssion of the Thirties, which spawn d many a pragmatic revolution in American oci ty. n of the mo t noteworthy of th change was the xpand d role of the ocial work r as n instrum nt for coping with th mu hrooming probl m of a critically ailing soci' 1 and onomic system. B for th cat trophic year of the Depression, th prim concern of th prof ional soci I work r had be n with th ocial and emotion I problems of th individu I client, or group, whom h u ually erv d and counseled through priv te agency. Suddenly, however, th profe sion was confronted with what Fr nklin D. Rooeevelt d ribed "one-third of a nation il1-hous d, ill-clad, ill-nourished" - ma of peopl who probl ms were of an economic nature, rooted In the national cri is. And a th Fed raJ governm nt entered th fi ld of ocial welfar on a large scale, public genci proliferated aero s the nation and cr ated an in atiable demand for the prof ion lly tr in d ocial worker. It w sin direct respon to this exponentially incr ing n d that the University of Buffalo tablished a curriculum in social work, in 193 which becam in 1936 the School of Social Work. It fir t d an w Dr. Nil Carpenter, an Epi opal minister nd ociologi t; its first bull tin no d th t cl were "d igned prim rily for tho per on engaged in social work," which in tho days largely numbered per on providing public assistance and ocial rvic through public welfare agencies, a fact which h ha(i a marked influence on the de- . v lopm nt of the School. Rather than stressing cour in th traditional are of social and psychological cou'nseling, the School in its first years emph iz program which prepared th ud nt to cope with the problems of providing economic istance to .the victims of the Dep ion. The title of the School' first master's the is, publi bed in 1987 by Donald Adams Clarke, typifies .this educational approach: " Men on Relief in Lackawanna, New York, 1934-35, Social Pathology in a Satellite City." Even while t he School was in its fledgling years some of the most distinguished social workers, sociologists and psychologists in Buffalo came every day to old Townsend Hall to teach the new courses offered there. The excellence of the curriculum and the faculty were recognized immediately upon the inception of the program by the American A&sociation of Schools of Social Work, wbich granted accreditation to the school as an approved certificategranting institution for one year, post-baccalaureate education, and later as an approved school for the granting of the master of social ervice degree. The burgeoning rolls of the School continued to grow through World War II with the result that a survey taken in the middle Fifties bowed two-thirds of the social work executives and professionals of the social agencies in Western New York to be alumni of the School an extraordinarily high percentage. Other graduates joined the faculties of social welfare schools to pass on the professional training ob-tained at UB; and still others rose to h-igh positions in various public services - including William Walsh, who went on to become . the mayor of Syracuse. However, the emergency of the Depression had ended with the War, and when the War itself was over, the remaining core of social ills became temporarily invisible to A nation that had turned its attention to an overwhelming technological boom and a corresponding unprecedented affluence. These factors, plus the rampant hysteria of McCarthyism during the early Fifties, were reflected in a decrease in enrollments, but this was by no means accompanied by a decline in the quality of education offered by the School. Once again, emphasis reverted to those a•eas traditional in the training of social wor1cers - counseling of individuals and groups - which .had been overshadowed, but never replaced, by the courses designed to meet the exigencies of the Depression. The ensuing ten-year period, from 1956 to 1966, saw a great resurgence of interest in social problems in the nation at large, and consequently, a reinvigoration of the School. Enrollment of full-time students increased annually, and by the end of these ten years had 9 �10 multiplied nearly seven times. Dr. arp nl r, who had preside'd over the Sch ol from its infancy and who had implement d, through th eurriculum, a concept of ervice to th community that transc nded self-int r st, r tir d in 1956, and the current d an was appoint d.

In th rmtion, new definitions and radical per pectiv s of very old and horny social probl ms w r emerging and demanded wholly new and dra tically changed approache to their solution . Society wa not standing still, and so th ch I could not. While empha is was retain d on what has always con tituted the core of social work ducation, i.e., clinical training, much att ntion w s also focused upon solving th n wly d fin d and pl'essing proble'm : the social pathology of contemi>orary urban life and the critical Jack of trained per onnel in all ar as of ocial rvic . Once again, the faculty responded with creativ concepts which could be translated into programs to meet the newly recogniz d n d . 'Fo remedy the seriou problem of staffing th ever-pressed social services, the School has un dertaken a two-pronged attack on th manpower shortage. Its first" approach w s to d ign programs for the large army of non-profe iona! personnel now manning many public ocial services, most of whom are college educated in fields other than social work. By m ans of spefific,courses, institutes and eminars offer d unaer the diredion of Profes or Dorothy L. Lynn, the e non-professional practitioners have an opportunity to upgrade their skills in d ling with the social problem with which they a~ constantly confronted. . Recognizing, too, that the ten positions r putedly available for every profe ional graduate in social work would virtually a sure continuation of the practice of hiring non-professionals, the dean and the faculty we~ convinced that the School should consider a role in the education of this large segment of social service workers. After careful study and analy is by a committee under Associate Professor Frank J. Hodges, and a ix-month sabbatical study by the dean in 1965, an undergraduate liberal artssocial science program was establishe in Sep. tember, 1966. The program, which leads to a bachelor of science degree with a major in social welfare, is a bold experiment, the first program of its type to be spon or d under th auspices of a professional school of social welfare. Initial student response was therefor ex- �11 8hips will increase as the University's own expansion plans are implemented. In cooperation with other faculties, the School has devised programs and courses for other professionals who meet social problems in the course of their daily practice. Besides programs in nursing and rehabilitation, the School is even now planning for the social service departments in the projected medical complex, including the anticipated University Hospital, the new Meyer Memorial Hospital and the Community Mental Health Center. · Thus, the leitmotif for the School for over 30 year has been dynamic response to a changing society, and this wiJI continue to be the dominant theme. As the school. prepares to initiate the fir8t doctoral program in social work in the State University system, Dean Lyndon notes, "The future of the School of Social Welfare is obviously tied to two kinds of change : that which is being made in our rapidly shifting society, and the change which must occur in the future of the University." What lies ahead for the School may be even more dramatic and exciting than what has gone before. A receptive faculty firmly grounded in the traditions of professional education, yet always open to experiment and innovation, and a constantly evolving curriculum to meet constantly evolving social needs virtually ass e a successful encounter with the Twenty-Fi t Century. �~ . meet your campus �r tnistrator.

Even now, despite the crush pf other responsibilities, he spends every Thursday morning combining all three of those favorite activities as director of a special teaching Well Baby Clinic run under the joint auspices of the Universit;·s· School of Medicine and the Erie County Department of Health. In the Clinic, which he conducts in his capacity as pediatric consultant to the County Health Department, medical stude'n ts, residents and public health nurses are exposed to the complexities of even a normal pediatric experience. Through a one-way vision screen, the medical personnel observe a mother and the examination of her small, healthy child. Following the observation .period, Dr. Rubin leads a group discussion of health and· environmental factors revealed in the session and in the histories of the mother and child. This total patient approach is typical of Dr. Rubin, who is just old-fashioned enough to beLieve that a doctor should be an humanitarian as well as a scientist. The human factor must be accounted for in dealing with young doctors too, notes the administrator, who is a veteran of innumerable sessions with troubled .med students. "Each man brings his own personality to medicine, his sensibilities or lack of them. You don't squeeze doctors out of a tube like toothpaste." OUTSIDE the hospital, the pediatrician's Jove of medicine is pleasantly unobtrusive. An intrepid golfer, he tries to manage a weekly round with friends, most frequently with University ophthalmologist Meyer Riwchun. In the evenings, Dr. Rubin and his wife Maizie-Louise, who directs the University's Speakers' Bureau w\len not administering the Rubin household on \ West Ferry Street, frequently entertain. Beneath etchings of the cities they have known, chamber music (which Dr. Rubin adores) plays, and talk of art, books, and music is stimulated by a good wine. Among close friends, conversation turns ·often to their children, Eve, a philosophy major at Chatham, and· Henry, who followed in the footsteps his father might have taken to become an accomplished violinist and will soon receive his master's degree from Juilliard. Alone, the Rubins may share a book - his favorites are biography and studies on art - by reading aloud.

The collaboration of doctoral candidates Leon Lewis and Bill Sherman, the book surveys the cinematic landscape in a series of 32 brief essays grouped under three major headinga, "Directors," "Holly"wood in the Sixties," and " Films . Around the World." Between the initial chapter on "Antonioni in the Psychedelic Sixties" and the flnal essay on " The Proprioceptive Critic," the co-authors proffer their random assessments of the directors, stars and themes which contribute to the . contemporary movie scene. ~~ "The Cincinnati Kid," they wrtte, for example, "So what if it's corny. The New Orleana funeral. The songs by Ray Charlea. The shoeshine boy. McQueen's patented smile, like Bogart's lisp. Come on, Barbara Long [Village . Voice tum reviewer], you can't convince us that you didn't want to play cards after seeing the film. It may not be The Cinema, but it sure as hell is The Movies." When called upon to define this c~itical stance, they explain that they vtew films as "a total physiological experience" with "a sensual surface that one must try to capture in a discussion of the fllm."

Colleague LIB-UA044 Description An account of the resource By the early 1950s, the University of Buffalo had expanded from a small group of autonomous schools into a modern university with 14 divisions and a central campus. No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

Still nurtured in a few European universities, this view of the law as one of the liberal artsrather than merely a corpu of facts and professional kills to be master d by the aspiring attorney- has been all but lo t in American higher education. Today, it is being reviv d at the University through the recently tabli h d Faculty of Law and Juri prudence. One of even disciplinary Facultie propo ed by President Meyer on in his "Academic Organization of the Univer ity," the Faculty of Law and Jurisprudence will initiate it first programs this Fall, incorporating the pre nt staff and course offerings of the School of Law. For the Law School, the establishment of a Jurisprudence Faculty means far more than a name change. For the first time since its founding in 1887, the School will be mandated to transcend the limited professional function of training legal practitioners in favor of providing both specialized and general education in the law. Law Dean William D. Hawkland articulates the spirit animating this new approach to legal 0 it S ua AJ o projected for the n r futur ar a ri · of interdisciplin ry seminars, dr wing upon th re ourc of sever 1 of th Faculti .

Even more critical than crowded rooms i the barrier created by the geographical separation of the Law School from the main campus. At pr nt, major Jogi tic problem impede the full implementati of the jurisprud nee program. From hi~ de k on the eleventh floor, overlooking the Buffalo Waterfront, bean Hawkland discus orne of the physical implications of the reorganization. Mo t important, for the first time since the indei>endently e tablished School wa incorporated into the Univer ity in 1892, it will join with the other academic units on a main campu. Downtown or Amherst, the School wa determjned to end its traditional i olation a the only major educational unit hou ed fully off- campus. " We had already expres11ed our determination to go with the University before the Amherst site decision was announced," he ays, suggesting that only on an integrated campus can the Faculty fully participate in the mainstream of University life. P hysical barriers gone, the Faculty of Law and Jurisprudence should enjoy a new freedom to in~eract with the University's other academic units. Hopeful t hat rigid departmental boundaries will disappear in Am~ herst, Dean Hawkland envisions the day when the pre ent Schools of Medicine, Social Welfare, and Education will call upon the Law Faculty to provide them with course offerings dealing with legal implications of issues raised in their respective specialties. "These offerings will not be mere surveys of applicable legal rules,'' he states, "but courses de igned to meet the broader needs of the speciali ts in these other areas. We will avoid dogmatic courses on legal organization and concentrate upon the effort to communicate some understanding of exactly how the Jaw works in dealing with one aspect of the relationship between law and the other discipline involved." No longer within easy walking distance of �( 1 I . 1 ' .j 2 most oi the ily's courtrooms, it is plann d that law students and other on the Amherst campus will have access to their own campus court, an actual court authorized by the tate of N w York and staffed with duly appoint d or lect d government officials and judges and empowered to hear both trial and appellat ca es. SJ>e:Ctators· attending court s ssions will be prov1ded with copies of briefs, information on th legal principles involved and other background _materials so that the court will function effecttv ly as a laboratory in which to r ive clinical xperience in the law. If the plan is approved, De.an Ha.wkla~d points out, it will give the nt1r Umver 1ty community a unique opportunity to ob ~v th · )~gal process fir thand without ever leavmg th campus . . Relocation d not mean abandoning Downtown, assures the dean. The School, along with other departments and divisions of the Univ rsity will probably utilize a number of m trot>olitan "outposts," hopefully including . the Eagle Street building which may be r tam d as a center for continuing legal education, r search and other community-directed projects. New to general education, the Law chool has long been training attorneys and will continue to do o, promises D an Hawkland. Profe sional programs have been continuously expanding since the School became th only law school in the State University system as a result of the 1962 merger. Only a few years ago, for example, th chool enrolled a student body drawn almost exclusively from the Buffalo and Rochester areas. A evidenced by the Western New York bench and the ro ters of Buffalo law firm , most of its graduates went on to practice law in the area. Today, the School shows a chang d profil . Forty-five per cent of the student body come from anywhere i.n the State beyond Syracu New York City now provides more enroll than the City of Buffalo. Now New York's only State-supported law chool, Buffalo feels this distinction i es ential to achieving profe sional excellence. The establishment of another State-financed school, apparently under some consideration in State University circles, could dilute financial support, warns the administrator, who also fears that the current balance of local and nonlocal students might be upset. The founding of a rival law school in or near the State capital might also sty1}lie Bqffalo's efforts to provide certain specialized service to the State, including expert help in drafting and studying bills destined for the Legislature. In the few years since the Law School went wo kinds of students will find their way into thi law library of the n r future. As always, the carf'i 1 will be filled by tuden engaged in pursuing law ~rof~ sion. And, oon, for perhaps the first hm lD thi country, they will be joined by o h r amining "the remoter and mon pneral A!lt\f!CIIa of the l w," hoping in Oliver Wendell H _1 phrase, to ' catch an echo of idn~ • glimp of ita unfathomable • h1 the univenaJ Ia ."

For thos in th latter instance, h 11aid, attention to preventive measur s is probably not n d d, but thos with poor g n tic background could nefit from utilizing v ry precaution that is known. Coronary heart di eas is by far the greatest threat to lif of American adults according to Dr. Ancel Keys, director of the University of Minne ot.a's Laboratory of Phy iological Hygien , and chol st rol in the blood plays a major part. Dr. Keys expl in d that in almo t all cases coron ry h art ~~ i a complication of ath r . ) ro is, di characteriz d by depo it of fatty material , mostly cholesterol, in th coronary rt ries. Th cholesterol 1 vel is r i d by consumption of atur ted fats, and polyun turated fats hav a w aker, oppo ite tfect. " utop i s on Am rican kill d in accid nt how tha~ 70 per cent of men aged 50 or more hav Vi r coron ry atherosclerosis," he said. Thi thr t, however, is not n arly so marked in oth r ocieti 1 Dr. Keys pointed out. In vera) long-term studi begun ten years ago, Dr. K ys found that middle-aged male natives nd Dalm tia, wh diet is high in in Gr total f ts contain d in oliv oil but low in saturated fats, hav les than ten per cent the frequency of h rt attacks a comparable group of U. S. mal . A similar ituation exists mong Japane farmers and fi hermen who eat foods low in both total and saturated fats. Dr. Keys noted, how v r, that Jap n Americans have acquir d th American susceptibility to coronary heart dise He reported that two studies of mal in Finland how that a large con umption of butterfat has boo t d the Finnish coronary attack rate high r than our own. "Every population known to have high susceptibility to coronary heart di ease prove to be char cterized by high blood cholesterol and a di t high in turated fats,'' Dr. Keys concluded. " And no one h yet found a population living on a die~ low in turated fats that has a high i11cidenc of this disease." Non of this evidence, however, be said, guarntees that a suitable diet 'adopted in middle ge will preclude th p088ibility of coronary heart disea , because th presence of a high I vel of chol terol . in the blood i not always sufficient in itself to produce the dise88&-high blood pr ure, cigarette smoking, diabete ,lack of thyroid function and lack of exercise may also be factors. Dr. Helen B. Brown, director of dietary research at the Cleveland Clinic Hospital, exhibited several charts specifying the ways to best modify one's diet so as to protect against the development of atherosclerosis. Dr. Brown conducted a "food clinic" at her hospital with young interns and ·their wives, allotting them a full menu of tasty looking foodS low in saturated fats. The subjects' cholesterol levels dropped 14 per cent and this was maintained for the duration of the ten-month project. When the families went off their special diets, however, cholesterol levels returned to the 200 plus vicinity. Although this level is considered "normal" for Americans, research has shown that in the societies where heart disease is a comparative rarity, the level of cholesterol is much lower. Concluded Dr. Brown wistfully, "if only we could have good unsaturated margarines, our patients would have it licked." The papers delivered by the four dieticians, and other viewpoints as well, will be incorpo-rated into the book Calories, Cholesterol and Coronaries. Drs. Fand and Saltarelli launched their literary project because, accordtng to Dr. Fand, there is a lack of understandable material available on this most important subject.. "We want to set down the facts so an intelligent public can make their own decisions about what they should do about their diets,'' said Dr. Fand. "We want to describe the medical tests now available which will help provide the information necessary to make these decisions on an individual basis." And that decision does not necessarily have to be in favor of · a regimented diet of either starvation, or celery stalks and weight reduction pills. As one of the speakers put it, "I, for one, sincerely hope we do not lose the 'joy of eating' and substitute for mealtime the taking of a prescribed. ~se of pills and potions." Among those who helped to make the AAUW program possible were: Dr. M. Herbert Fineberg, director of the Buffalo Veterans Administration Hospital; Dr. Joseph T. Aquilina, chief of the Hospital's Medical Service; Mrs. Walter Alt, president of the Buffalo Chapter of the American Association of University Women; Dr. Cora G. Saltarelli, program chairman; Mrs. Harold Gebike, arrangements, and Mrs. Bernard Sicherman, publicity. 5 �THE RETUR OF THE VANI HING AMERI ' 6 Critic and novelist Leslie Fi dl r di cerns a r vival f interest in the American Indian in this interview with graduate student Richard Maul by, air d rec ntly in the campus-produced radios ries, ''Th State of th University." ince 1960, that the vanishing nd for m Intervi wer: Doctor, as an Engli h profe or, how people pr urn bly al dy "Vani h d Amerl· did you become intere ted in the "Vani hing can," the Indian, h been r turnin in litera1 American"? ture, beginning with K n K y's marveloU8 Dr. Fiedler: Well, I have lived for a number of novel One Flew Over the u.ckoo'a N at.

And I became much interested m ns to Am riean . in Indian affairs in a purely practical and political way at first, participating in v rious lntervi wer: This phras th ''Vani hing Americonferences on the present plight and future can" h been with u for 80me time.

So I've had a long and continuand Indian culture, from our ociety 7 ing interest in the life of Indians as it's actually lived. Since moving away from the West, I've Dr. Fi dl r: Well, phy ically, I expect the Indian will survive though th y h ve a falling birthbeen full of no talgia for that part of the world rate in the United Sta . lnt tingly enough, and my mind has been returning in various it's quite differ nt in Canad where the Indjan ways to things intimately concerned with the population i increa ing faster th n the White West, and to the Indian in particular, who population. But on this ide of the border th defines the very nature of the West. I've been Indians tend, statistically, in term of the hole pursuing the Indian who has di ppeared from population to shrink. Nonetheles , on way or my life, in literature, and I found myself going another, the Indian will survive. Som of the back beyond the novels and poems which make leader of Indian movements are given to mak· up the classic body of American literature, to the accounts of travelers and of Indian captiving the boast, "We were here 20,000 years ities, and so forth, which lie behind them. And before the White man, and w '11 be here 20,000 just at the .moment when my own mind was year after." There is omething in that, but most deeply concerned with the historical record the real problem is whether the Indian will urof Indian-White 'relations in the United States, vive with anything that's orthwhile preserv I noticed, looking around at contemporary literout of his old culture. or will he imply di pature, particularly at novels that have appeared pear into White culture? And, a a matter of ��fact there's a second question. Th problem is: If the Indian is going to be a imilat d into White cultur , is he going to b as imilated via the school room, which may hav a good as ct to it even though I myself have orne no. talgia for what the Indian will lo e, or will th Indian be assimilated into Whit culture via the saloon, which seems to be the typical way in which he does it? If the worst of all po ibilities occurs, what will happen i th Indian will hav lost his traditional culture and will have acqui.red' nothing of ours, except what com s to him on the lowest fring of it, in which cas , he'll really be the tragic in tance in our cultur.e. At the present mom nt, you know, in term· of annual income, rate of ducation. and so forth, the plight of the Indian i far wor than any other group. Negroe look like a favored egment of the population n xt to them. lnte1·viewer : From you·r association with Indians, do you find a great deal of de p r ntm nt? D1·. Fiedler: Yes- the basic emotion of Indians, 8 the communal emotion of Indian , and Indian are ba ically a communal people, I mean they'll \always say "we," where White people will say "I," the basic feeling that the Indian community share is .a deep feeling of baffled res ntment against the surrounding White commu1nity. They may not know the details of the injustices that have been done them; I mean not every Indian know it, but every Indian has a sense of it. And, they are full of frustrated resentment. Interviewer: Why don't they demonstrate? Dr. Fiedler: Indians in a funny way have a strong image of themselve as being a stoical peopl and a dignified people. And I have attended meetings, actually, where this question w s raised by young Indian leaders who h ve learned their lessons from the Negroes' Civil Rights Movement, and the answer is: "W Indians are not like Negroes. We are the stern, reserved, redman." It's funny how important that image is. The Indians have begun to demonstrate in one way or another in some groups, though. There have been the "fish-ins", in the State of Washington, for instance, in which the I~dians were joined by various public figures, hke Marlon Brando, and so forth. And there is a strong movement, a kind of, what you might almost call, a red-muslim movement, a separatist movement on the part of the Indians, demanding that their original culture be preserved, and preaching against inter-marriage with Whites, and so forth, which is led by a v ry int r ting girl, n Jroquoi girl, II d K nn t Horn, a v ry uiiful irl who i an actl' s and a mod 1 and who h d vot h rself to going up and d wn th country tump. ing in favor of Indian rlght.8. And h r policy is "k p youn If parat nd you'll surviv . Whit civilization is foolish nough o that it will d troy its If." lnt r11i w r: Was n't on of th r ons for h ving r rv tion. so that th Indi n ould not v nish, and could maintain th ir own culture? Dr . Fiedler : Y s, th r ason for re rv tion w r a little quivocal. I would y th t on of th xcus s or r tionalizations of th r rvation y t m w o that Indians could pre rv lh ir own culture. Bu h t h ppened i tha res rvalions, in f ct, turned out to be, w n. th land which h Indian w re giv n on th reservation often w s th worst I nd. Som tim s people mad mi ak nd gav them pi wh r it turn d out th y h d v ry rieh oil rights, but that was only by rr r. But, in g n ral, r servatiom1 w re mi rabl pia to live. Th condition of living that re enforced th re . . . m d th r rvatioM more or le of a gh tto, and what em rged on the res rvations was wh t you might can an emerg nee of a gh tto civilization, which a n ith r th old Indian culture, which could only be prerv d in total l dom and mobility (th ' the essential in Indian culture), nor th White culture (though ther w re White schools on the rvation , of cours , and m · ionari at work on th r rv tion from the very beginning). but this strang kind of m r, mean, in-bet n, excluded cultur produ d by a gh tto and breeding a gh tto men lity. On th oth r h nd, I my If favor th notion which was advanced for a whil nd th n abandoned. I think it w at it8 peak during th Ei nhow r Administr tion, th ao-caUed policy of termin tion, which ould have elimina d th r rvation system compl tely, becau there are, in fact, old people, "longhair ," as th Indians call th m, who don't want to live anyplace xc pt on th r rvation, bo couldn't ervation. The liv anyplace xcept on the young on are caught in betWi n, and I'm not sur what can happen. Ther s a strong move now, venin the Tribal Councils of t.h e Indians, to find nough money to send their bright kids to chool, all the wa.y through the Univenity, though t first there wu tance to this. But then they are plaped bJ problem that if a bright young Indiu educat.d. he never comes bKk to bla appears into the IWMI'&l ....-t �app ars, violence goes down. It's too bacf, perhaps, that the only thing that the Indian has is communal dreaming, but it's better than nothing. Interviewer: It's an escape, in other words? Dr. F'iedle?·: Well, yes, from a hostile or unfriendly point of view, it's an escape. From a religious point of view, of course, it's getting to a place where you have a vision and an understanding which enables you to come to terms with a problem which in practical and social terms you can't solve. You know, if you want to call the Native American Church an e cape, you're bound to call the great religions of the world, Buddhism, Christianity, and so forth an escape, too. r: Is there any solution? Dr. F'i dl r : Like most d p problems, the•solutions r in d qu te, and you know, there are 1 ays mor qu stion than an wers. I don't know what the solution is for the Indians th m elv . Th only thing that I suspect is it h to be olution that comes up from the Indi n and i not impo d on them. I can telJ you . . . the on thing which h moved the Indian community itself in recent years, more than anything el , mor than anything since th Gh t Dance of the end of the '90's, and tb t's the emergence of a new religion which is call d th Native American Church, which is an odd combination of evang tical Christianity and the ritual consumption of peyote. It's a kind of a drug cult in which the Indian sits around a campfire, and i> the beating of the drum, has vi ion hich m to be very satisfactory. And th r Ugion itself, I think, gives the Indians a kind of satisfaction because it seems to them it's their own invention; it has connections with their own put, and in some way it's antiWhiteman. They boast that on the reservations where the Native American Church is common (It bu spread from the Southwest everywhere amon~ Indiana), drunkenneu, for instance, dis- Interviewer: Why do you think the American people are not aroused about this problem as they have been about the problem of the Negroes? Dr. Fiedler: I think the problem of the Indian is deeply buried in the American mind. I am sure that somewhere in the minds of everybody, because this has been fed by pulp literature and movies, and so forth, in the mind of White Americans everywhere, there is a dim sense of the injustice done to the Indians, there is some vague notion of guilt. But precisely becau e the Indians have been put on reservations, they have been made invisible. Most people who move about our world don't see them, and the Indians anyhbw are only one in a thousand Americans as compared with the Negroes who are, say one in ten. So, their visibility is low. On the other hand, the place where the Indian does register his presence and his plight, the place where the situation of the In-· dian is felt and where those old guilts come to expression, is in the minds of particularly sensitive people, that is to say, writers. This brings me back to somtthing I started to say before, that more and·more the Indian appears as kind of a protest character in the flction,.of young White men, who identify themselves in a way with Indians. The rebel thinks, I, too, am a wild redman who is penned off here on my reservation, and one of these days I am going to break out. In an interesting book by a man named Donleavy caJled The Ginger Man, one of the most interesting books of the last decade or so, the character at one point suddenly boasts that he ha.e partly Indian blood in him, and obviously identifies himself with the Indian pa.et, you know, when he goes on the warpath against what seems to him the dull gray culture in which he lives. 9 �~eet your campus colleague 10 When Dr. Herbert Reismann packs his bags for a trip to attend a scientific meeting ( ornethin~ he does regularly), he almost invariably must leave room for two important items: a scientific paper, to be delivered at the meeting, artd at least one of his extensive collection of cameras. The reason for th paper is obvious: Dr. Rei~mann is a distinguished space and a ro... nautical engineer. But the reason for the camera is not quite so well-known: he is also a talented amateur photographer. The two interests-vocation and avocationdate back to his boyhood in pre-war Vienna, where he was born in 1927. As far back as his memory reache , science and technology have always interested him, and he opted for an engineering career early in life by choosing to attend the Schubert Realchule, a preparatory chool for scientists, engineers and architects. (At that time in Austria and most of Europe, the educa. tional system forced career decisions at an early age and they were·therefore usually a reflection of strong parental influence. But Dr. Refsmann's predilection for science and his interest in "how things work" made hi own decision easy.) At about the same time, he was presented with a camera by his father, who had himself become interested in photography during his travels as a mounted artillery officer in World War I. The smooth pattern of gracious middle-class European life so weU laid out before him was abruptly shattered one night in 1940, when the Reismann family barely escaped the descending boot-heel of Hitler by sneaking out of Austria through Switzerland. They settled in Chicago, where Dr. Reismann entered high school and after two years was accepted at Illinois Institute of Technology. There his general interest in applied science became more sharply defined toward aeronautical engineering because it was at the time more basic and scientific in its ap. proach than other fields of ngin ering. At the s m time, he had a job assisting th professional photograph r at liT, from whom h I arn d the many laboratory techniqu s and skilla indi p nsabl to good pho ography. Later, a a gradu te tud n t th Institut.e, he taught a cour in structural analysis given under the a gis of Mies van der Robe, who had also fled Germany and brought his famou Bauhaus architectur t-o liT. It w s te ching thi course which arotU\ed in Dr. Reismann a great affection for teaching entiment which has remain d with him throughout his car r . Although it is a general (if not n s rily valid) supposition th e d ys that men who r very prominent in academic fi.elds di dain teaching, s·pecially und rgraduates, and r rd it as nothing mor than a neces ary t 8k to be avoided as much as possibl , Dr. Reismann feels very inten ly that und rgr duates hould hav as much expo ure as possible to th best faculty that a university has to offer. He fe 1 that during the early college years, the mo t critical ones in the student's intell ctual develppment, great teacher can be an inspiring and stimulating influence; and tuden , by gen rating enthusiasm and fr sh ideas can k p even the most accomplish d mind ·from settling into Ifsatisfied lethargy. Besides all that, he just plain enjoys teaching! After receiving an M.S. in mathematiC~' and mechanics, Dr. Reismann began to do re. arch at The Armour Institute in Chicago on atomic weapons testing. This work led him I ter, as an officer in the Air Force, to Oper tion Gr enhouse, a project for testing detonation devices for nuclear weapons, whiCh took plac t the Pacific proving grounds t Eniwetok. R turning to civilian life, he began what was to be fruitful a sociation with the aircraft and aero-nautical industry. His peripatetic career has taken him from Fort Worth, Texas, where he w a project engineer for the Convair Divi~ion o-f the General Dynamics Corporation working on \Ta.rious problems in the structural de ilfll of aircraft. ���to R public Aviation on Long Island as a principal , ystems ngin er working on guidance and control syst ms for missil s, and from there to the Martin ompany in D nver , Colorado. At Martin. consider d the larg st integrat d missi le factory in th world, h was a research 11ci nli t, chi f ngin r of ystems analysis and lat r chief of solid mechanics research. Ev ry phas of mis ile production- from de. . ign through construction and te ting - was c rri d out in a v ritabl "Buck Rogers complex," wh r there wa an aura of what used to be scienc fiction and is now inde d science fact. Dr. Reismann contribu d to th design nd d v lopment of the Titan rocket, one which had p ceful application in our space program as w II a gr at trategic importance as a weapon. For his w rk on th Titan, he waa ree ntly nam d to Who's Who in Space, a compendium of th architect of th Unit d State pa program. He al o co-authored a priz r on th rl ign of a re-entry m for th Gemini spac flights, rv d as a b ck-up system in the ri of p v ntures just completed. All his sci ntific ccomplishments and activity did not k p him aw y from the classroom, eith r tudent or teacher. While in Tex he ught at South rn M thodist University; in N w York, h took extemiv graduate work t Brooklyn Polytechnic In titute in electrical ngin ring (nee s ry for his work in guidanc and control syst ms) ; and in Denver. whil tudying for his Ph.D. in mechaniea and math matics at th University of Colorado, he 1. visiting prof oriaJ lectur r. w Nor, during tho nomadic years did his avid int r t in photo raphy lag or languish. On the contr ry, while he was in New York, he frequ n d the Mu urn of Modem Art, which had n a pion r in tablishing photography aa a recognized arl As h grew familiar with the work of th contempor ry master of photography, uch a St ich n, Cartier-Bre son and tieglitz, his awaren ss of the u of the camera n in trument for creativity and his perception of hi own work with the camera took on great r dimension . More and more he saw photography a a 11nique contemporary art, mor effective than p inting could ever be in d picting" slice of life" (although his picture tak n befor that time show that he had a great n tur I in tinct fo[ artistic pictorial Imagery). he moved ~eral times across the country, nd · , be travelled for pleasure in the ni d Sta , Can da and Mexico, his camera alw y with him. He turned a sensitive eye to subjects that most of us would dismiss as insignificant or inappropriate for photographs - and snapped the shutter at the right place and at the right instant. With his e~ual skill in the darkroom, he produced many pictures, triking in design and forceful in subject. Many of his best works are abstracts, outstanding in their depiction of the basic beauty of form; and others are forceful renderings of that "slice of · life." He began exhibiting his photography while living in New York, with entries in a show sponsored by the Urban League of that city . . The Art League of Great Neck also chose some of his works for exhibition, and in 1954 he won the "Slide of the Year" award from the Metropolitan amera Council of New York. In addition, he has had works shown at the Fort Worth Mu eum of Art and the Dallas Museum. Since he came to Buffalo in 1964, his photography has been hampered by the fact that, in temporary living quarters, he had no space available in which to set up a darkroom. He has however continued taking pictures (it would be impossible for him to stop, since the camera has become an extension of his own senses) , and having recently moved to a larger home, will soon have his darkroom facilities in operation again. It has been said that "There is a sense in which a photographer's apotheosis is to become aa anonymous as his camera." Dr. Reismann is reluctant to elaborate on his photography in general and any picture in particular, since· be feels, as do most artists, that the work of art hould speak for itself-aa his do, most eloquently. Pictured here are three samples of his work, from sources widely senarated geographically but very close in feeling and mood. At UB, he continues active and productive in scientific research, currently investigating problems in the elastokinetics of shellR (thinwalled structures common in space vehicles) under grants from the Office of Aerospace Reearch and the Army Research Office: His enthusiasm for teaching has not abated; and he erves on several aqademic committees. In addition he has created a series of seminars iT\ the e~glneering sciences, which has brought prominent scientists to campus to ~peak ~d which baa attracted national attention for 1ts ucce . He i frequently on the move, not only to attend various scientific meetings, but as a consultant to the aerospace industry· and to NASA. And wherever he goes, his camera goes with him. 13 �books by the faculty lET I TI'TUTIO, Til I DIVID t. _______ D OCLeTY .--------- ., Hulickll ...PATTERNS OF ANARCHY : A Collection Of Writings On Th Anarchist Tradition- Edited b11 Leon.a!·d I.

York, 1966. 570 pagell. 14 ew , The editors warn the reader at the outset : "We are d termined to take anarchism seriously ... to restore it to its rightful place as more than a rejection of politics, indeed a a rewarding full-scale theory of human conduct." Any position as fruitful a anarchism, they rea110n, merits the respect of an effort to arrange its principles in a way that facilitates appraisal. In fact, durable insights can follow only from an understanding of why men of vasUy different temperaments have committed themaelv s to this position. Included ar ven parate approaches to facilitate appraisal of the anarchist position : clarification of its defining featurea; observance of its performance in conftict with a set of adversaries; disclosure of its bedrock standards; attention to its rigor in indictment; elaboration of its constructive proposals; reflection on its fecundity in dealing at length with a singl subject; and teating ita ability to withstand a range of criticism. In an afterword, the editors sketch their own understanding of the position, seen as a compreh~naive al~mative on social, economic and philo110phical problems. Noting that the peace movementa, the civil rights struggles and the agitation of students for un hackled education have evinced vague feelings· of a.ftinity to anarchism, the editors obaerv that a sluggish bureaucracy baa cast sua- ptcton on t.h state itself. Th y quote th warnin of Franklin to a stalled and wranglin Pennaylvania constitutional convention : " Gentl men, you that in th anarchy in which we liV1 aoci ty mana s much as befor Tak. care, If our dl pu 1 la t too long, that th people do not come to think that they can v ry eaaily do without us."

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

Karl Willenbrock, associate dean of Engin ering and Applied Phy ics at Harvard University, will become dean and professor of Engineering and Am>lied Sci nee at State University at Buffalo. Thi new nomenclature implies a broadening of interest for the School of Engineering to include "other appropriate scientific fields as they develop," as the official tory on Dean Willenbrock's appointment termed it. To offer some inight into what thiR broadening might suggest, the Colleague is pleased to print here a statement on "The Goals of Engineering Education," prepared by Dr. Will nbrock in a sociation with Harvey Brooks and F. H. Abernathy of th Divi. ion of Engin ering and Applied PhyRics, Harvard.) I lnh·oductum. To defin th goals of engineering education, it is firs nece sary to r cognize the great div r. i y of activities which pre~ ently carry the label of -engin ering. While it may well be mi leading to u e a ingle term to describe activitie which rang from r earch using the mo. t sophi ticated analytical and experimental techniqu to rather routine application of wellunder. tood t chnology, thi is, in fact, the case. M n capable of carrying on activltie over this entir range are n eded by ociety and the educational institution of thi country bear in varying degr the re. ponsibility for providing appropriate educational programs. Since th activiti are so diver , the related educational programs must also b diverse in duration, content, and approach. In defining the goal of engineering education, it i desirabl to divide engineering activity into everal major categorie and to charact rize each eparat ly. Since the spectrum of engineering activities is actually continuous, any categorization is bound to be ornewhat arbitrary. However, we believe the following three categori s will be useful, provided it is recognized they actually merge into each other in practice: a) Engine ring technology b) Engineeriflg practice c) Engineering science. In the following ections ,of this statement, the characteristics of these three types of engin ering activity will be defined more closely and appropriate educational programs will be suggested for each. Since educational programs beyond the formal programs of study on a fulltime ba i in academic institutions will be in- crea ingly important in the future, some statements will also be made concerning aspects of continuing and on-the-job education for each category. II Engin e1·ing T echnology. Engineering technology refers· primarily to the application of well-established technology in production and service as well as in some of the upporting aspects of research and development. At present, engineering technology is taught pri marily in two-year technical institutes, but there i an increasing trend towards the development of four-year programs with a terminal bachelor's degree, usually including the term "technology," Such programs produce highly useful graduates, and their contribution to engineering activity is very extensive. To be effective in this area, an individual should be: 1) Well-versed in the current state-of-theart of a partic_!Jlfr technology, 2) capable of utilizing handbooks and other forms of codified information with skill and discrimination, 3) s ufficiently versed in mathematics and the sciences related to the particular technology to distinguish sound .procedures from unsound ones, and to keep up with current innovations in his special field as they occur. An engineering technologist increases in ef. fectiveness as he gains practical experience in his special field. Such experience can be gained through cooperative educational - industrial programs, through apprentice-like training, or by a heavy emphasis on laboratory skills and 1 �.• operational type training in educational institutions. Frequently, men in thi!o! area develop great manual skill and ingenuity. Educational programs in this area should continue for two or more yea rs b yond condary school and should extend far b yond vocalio~al training. General physics and chemistry plus math matics through calculus should se rve as the und rpinning for technological knowledge. The faculty involved in instruction shou ld have, close contact with current engin ring practice. Continuing ducation programs in thi s ar a can take the form of short refreRher programR as long as the original t chnology remains actixe. However, in cases wh re quite new technologies are developed, it i · probable that programs of formal training of one or mor y ars' duration will be nee ssary. III .' 2 Eny ineel'ing Practice. Engineering practice refers to the ct·eative application of existing know ledge to I th solution of specific engineering problems. It is not concerned primarily with the dev lopment of new kn owledge or of g n ri c solution. extending beyond the particula r problem attacked. . ' In truction for engineering practice was th primary aim of the four-year undergraduat programs in colleges and universities befor World War II. Th incr Ring complexity of engin ring practic of today has put th pro. grams under con. id r bl strain . Th r 11r incr aRing d m. nd for m n with (1) mor g n ralizabl sci ntific l nd math m tic I kill (2) mor manag ri I and admini trative abil~ ity, and (3) mor cone rn about ocial, p litical, and e onomic a p cts of ngin ring. Such d . mandR can be and ar bei ng m t in a v ri ty of ways. orne of th charact ri. tics of ngin ring practition r ar : I) an ability to hand! math matic. and science r !at d t a g n raJ ar a nd to handl probl m. not in handb kR, 2) a gr at r cone rn with finding a n d d olution to a p cifi d probl m than with n under. tanding of a ll a. p ts of the sci nc or math matic involv d, 3) an ability to Rynthesiz practical d sigM which atisfy a numb r of r quir m nt , v r 1 of which may b in conflict, 4) a sen. itivity to con mic factor and an ability to tf ct trad otfs b tw n partiall conflicting objectiv s, 5) an ability to utiliz formal technical backperi nee to olv probground and practical lem which ar new in detail, but not n w in cone pt, 6) an ability to dir ct larg scale technical operations by coordinating and up rvising th effort, of appropriate . p cia list•. Th r are s vera ) po, ibl ducational patt rns for ngin ring practition r . In fi ld wh r practical experience i. of gr at r vatu than acad mic work, a fou r -year ac d mic program plu. a plann d program of practical xperienc might be th mo t tisfactory. In field. wh re a higher d gr of math matic I and scie ntific background i n d d, a five or ix year program leading to a Ma ter's d gr plus indu trial experience could be the be t pr paration. In field, charnct rized by highly intri t economic and political consideration , a fouryea r ngin ring program which i then coup) d with graduate work in bu in s admini. tration or Jaw could be mo t d irable. An important consideration in training for modern practic is that the ience and m thematic taught hould not be confined to what i thought imm diat ly relevant to current t chnology. Rath r, it should provide a b is for future learning, and hence aim at compreh nsive understanding rather than the mere acqui. ition of u eful technique . on iderable care must be given to developing appropriate program of continuing educa· tion for uch engineering practitioner . Plans should take advantage of tne activitie of th profe ional ocietie , but mu t al o be supple· mented by comp ny programs, and an occa ion- �al r turn to an acad mic institution to develop th n w frameworks of knowledge needed to cope with new d velopments in their fields. IV Engineering Sci nee. By ngin ring science is m ant those fi Ids of scienc which ar of inter st primarily from th standpoint of applications. The aim of engin ring ci nee includ comprehensive under tanding and explanation of phenomena as a basis for the analysis and prediction of the ngineering p rformanc of systems. It also include the scien s which deal primarily with the performance of man-made systems as contras d with natural ph nomena. Example in th first category include fluid and olid mechanics, th rmodynamic , and olid state device physics. Examples in the second category include communication theory, control th ry, and th computer science . The engineering cientist is inter ~ in d veloping generic solutions to whole cla of engine ring problem and in laying the foundations of de ign theory and engin ring analysis. He is not primarily interested in finding particular solutions in pecified time-limited engineering situation . Sine World War II, it has been evident that th r is a n d for men who have an educational b ckground ess ntially imilar in content to that of a . ci nti t interested in ba ic re earch, but who have, in addition, a strong interest in th utilizations of scientific understanding and rna h matical techniqu for the olution of problem which are important from an applications standpoint. Engineering scientists are usually educated through to the Ph.D. and frequently have undergone additional post--doctoral education. They are rarely involved in de ign, except as an incident to the development of experimental equipment, and they seldom work under tight economic constraints or too rigid time schedules. In mo t cases, th y are highly skilled in mathematics or one of the physical or life science . Th desired ed1fC8.tional pattern is similar to that of a physicis~. chemi t, or applied mathematician. Continuing edu~tion needs can be met by a sabbatical leave sysiem as presently practiced by most academic institutions, which is being practiced increasingly by industrial and government research laboratories. Engineering scientists will usually be located in academic institutions, in industrial corporate labor tories, or in government or national laboratories which cover a very broad spectrum of technology. They will often be found serving as consultants or engineering specialists in de· velopment projects, but not as member of design or production team . V Future Patterns. Some generalizations can be made about the desirable educational programs for the categories described. The increased tempo of technological and scientific advance requires that the intellectual ~reparation of the practicing engineers, in particular, be such that they can adapt readily to major new developments, even when they involve the introduction of new contemporary science into technology. Thus, a strong emphasis on how to learn and an ability to study independently of formal courses and to effectively utilize the cientific and engineering literature should be fostered. An ability to asimilate information from a variety of sources such as profe&sional society meetings, journal articles, textbooks, and short courses or lecture series is essential. The trend towards engineering science will continue. Each category of engineering will require more emphasis on mathematics and science as more segments of contemporary technology become grounded in theoretical understanding rather than traditional experience, and are thus understandable primarily to those who have had more formal education. For the engineering scientist, post--doctoral training in a university or research center will become more and more customary. • A desirable characteristic will be to avoid too 'sharp formalization of these categories. A large number of individuals should be capable of moving across the boundaries between the nominal categories we have described. Technologists can develop into practicing engineers and engineering scientists may sometimes develop· in' the direction of practicing engineers, or vice versa. Versatility and adaptability should be encouraked if the engineering profession is to grow and be responsive to the changing demands of society. Nevertheless, there should be a variety of educational patterns adapted to different motivations, backgrounds, and interests. These differing patterns should be thought of as different doorways to the continuous spectrum of activities known as engineering. It would not be a healthy development if all schools should adopt the pattern of engineering science, irrespective of the background and interest of their students, in the belief that this represents the only type of talent and educational experience relevant to contemporary engineering. It would also be undesirable if present educational patterns should become so formalized that institutions feel their offerings cannot be shifted to be responsive to changes in the professional environment. 3 �4 I asked the traveler which way The sign pointed.

Perhap no one under tands this better than the geologist. For it is the ntire planet Earth, including its innermo t depths-all of which we u ually take for granted-that falls within the bailiwick of the geologi t. As if that weren't nough to keep him bu y, he i now b ing summoned to tudy the moon's urface, which make. all the sen e in the solar system. But the earth i hi first love, and that which he finds more challenging. "It's harder to get to the center of the earth than to the moon," ays Dr. R ginald H. Pegrum, professor of geological ciences at the Univer ity. In either pursuit man ha ju t cratched the surface, say Dr. Pegrum, who H cr at for the earthling an awar n of hi wn backyard. " ology i not, a. p pular cone ption would have it, just th study of fo il or oth r dead matter," ay Dr. Pegrum of this prim val y t ver-budding fi ld. For him the focu of geology i at once infinit and finite, but always fix d on th phy ical a pects of the wh I all of Earth and it parts-right down to the molecular tructur of minerals and cry tats.

According to Dr. harles V. I mency, an a sociat professor. of g ological ciences who t ach . crystallography as well as geoch mistry, the . ent r has be n engaged ince 1959 on a project involving th atomic tructure of ribonuclea , a protein of the human body comparable in compl xity to the hemoglobin in hum n bl d. La t month, its structure was olved at the enter. A the g och mist explain , ribonuclea e is a n nzym that plays a k y role in the growth of all living cells. Know! dge of its structure may h lp explain why the growth of certain cell g awry. Th tructural pattern of ribonuclea e is de. crib d by Dr. Jemency a a highly complex n twork r mbling a rolled rop made up primarily of carbon atom with numerou side chain. of atoms. "D t rmining such atomic pattern is the job of cry tallograph rs," says Dr. lemency. And th y do it through the u e of th X-ray, which Dr. I m ncy call "the univer al tool." By X-raying crystal of hemoglobin, ribonuclea e, or any oth r ubstance, the atomic patterns can be captur d on a tran parency. Like fingerprint or nowtlakes, each typ of crystal has a unique and uniform pattern. hile cane r is comparatively remote from the work of mo t geologi t , cry tal are an immediate part of their Jive., in rocks a w ll a ice. The latter is an int re t of Dr. Parker E. Calkin, an assi. tant profe or of geological sciences who e pecialti are geomorphology (the study of land form characteri tic , origins and development ) and _glacial geology. Dr. Calkin ha be n working on a two-year ·NSF grant to tudy glacial ero ion and depo its in Erie and Niagara Countie . As a footnote to his work, Dr. Calkin reports that the Buffalo area nowfall i twice that of Antarctica but that Ni- W agara Frontier Winter temperatures are mild in compar ison. · Dr. alkin has made several fi eld trips to Antarctica, where he found that some areas had been uncovered, or ice-free, for over 50,000 years. "This isn't too significant unless you realize that Buffalo has been ice-free for onlv 12,000 years." · Since it is believed t hat the climate of the world is probably controlled by Antarctica, Dr. alkin' studies there were concerned with determining t he past climate of Antarctica, which is reflected in the movements of glaciers. There is no doubt t hat it was once very different as evidenced by Dr. Calkin's findings of coal beds revealing fossilized ferns, and large sand dunes. The coal beds are over 250 million years old, approximately the same age a those found in Pennsylvania, he says. He also di covered that. the water temperature of some ice-topped lakes reached as high as 70°F . and that large and dunes occur in Antarctica's Victoria Land. Dr. Calkin is currently writing paper on one of the Jakes in the Victoria Valley System a nd on the movement of sand in the area. Despite his research and first-hand su rvey of glacier movement, Dr. Calkin does not know if t he Antarctic glacier is enlarging or hrinking. But he does know that there is very little melting in the huge continent which has for the most part been covered with ice for three or four million years. Antarctica for Dr. Calkin is th~ researcher's Utopia. He gleams when he remembers the free exchange of ideas with researchers from all over the world, including Russia. Though land claims are made by various countries, no orie pays too much attention to boundaries, he explains. Field experience such as this is invaluable to Dr. Calkin in teaching geomorphology, glacial geology and photo in terpretation of ice land , a well as stratigraphy - the study of the earth's strata in which most oil company geologists are well rained. he history of the University's Department of Geological Seiences cannot be read from rocks or from any other source, but no one tells it better than Dr. Pegrum, who began the "Department of Geology" in 1927 and was its only member for 21 years. Combined with geography in 1948, the Department regained its independent status and changed its name in 1963. Geology at the University was born in one room of the Foster Hall basement.

An exploration of th subj cts with mpha. is on cru. tal structur mak s up the applied g ophy. ics cour e. The coursework, says Dr. Hodg , will not mak the student a geophyAicist, but will acquaint him with the fi ld ~o that as a geologi. t he can evaluate the re. ult. of geophy ics - the study of inacceRfli!Jle portions of th arth by instrum nts. Prof .• or Hodg hopes to expand the curriculum n xt year to incluqe mor d tail d studie in the ft ld. · Dr. Reitan has organized a g och mi try laboratory this mester. Lack of , pace and equi pm nt, however, ha, temporarily limited th p r pective of th lab, k ping it a simpl one carrying out a. y-to-handl chemical inv tigation of g ological inter t. Dr. Reitan, who t ach g och mi try, lem ntary mineralogy, and petrology - th study of rock , their origin, tructur , and change , xplain that the g h mi t's job is to und r tand the cycling of 1 m nts in rocks of the earth' cru t. This Spring or Summ r, Dr. R itan will b gin field work in N w England - probably Maine or N w Hamp hir - wh re metamorphic rocks hav "r ntly" b n un arthed. Recent, in this ca , m ns 10,000 y ar - just a tick of the clock for th g ologist. Time, for the g ologi t, ha never topp d, particularly not for Dr. Buehler, who is teaching one of th newe t fi ld in g ology-geobiology. If g ology i r ady for another new field, Dr. Buehler can probably upply it-poetic g ology. D eply intere ted in the hi tory of life, he look at fo ils and shells and ay , "th y'r living to me." Geology per e, "i too dead for m ." Whirring in hi mind are all · ort of idea to fu e geology with literature and art. He trie for a liberal art approach in his cia in paleontology. "Paleontology is an intellectual adventure.'' he tell hi student , adding that, "there's Jtor room for artistry in geology." Geobiology, ·or. Buehler continues, stresses that many geological phenomena - such as rocks and crusts-are also biological matters. Biogenic rocks originated from life, he says. And there's coal, made up of plant material; limestone, from plants and animals, and phosphate rocks, from coral and algae. "Probably oil too," adds Dr. Buehler. "But the complete !'!tory is not known about the origin of oil." Dr. Buehler also teaches biolithology, which !'!i mply means life rocks. This University is one of the first to offer such a course, he says, noting that very few other universities use the term geobiology. Currently, he is doing research on fossils and shells that have smaller fossils attached to them, a study involving the relationships between ancient parasites and their hosts. hile he may not write poetry, Dr. Buehler is the co-author (with Dr. Irving H. Tesmer, profe sor and chairman of geology at State University College) of "The Geology of Erie ounty," published by the Buffalo Society of Natural Science Bulletin, in which Dr. Buehler reports that the Niagara Frontier is rich in invertebrate fossils of animals from the mid-paleozoic era-eorals, shells, and trilobites dating back 350,000 years. The University campus, he notes, is built over a bed of limestone that stretches far up into the Northwest. Dr. Buehler, who likes to do his field work in Autumn, often takes his classes to the Niagara gorge to gather specimens. He highly recommends a visit to the Power Vista in the Niagara Falls area. Mo t of the branches of geology overlap one another and therefore the faculty of the Department, because they are few, must teach outside their specialties. Dr. Pegrull'\ feels that they are " preading themselves too thin," though he is confident that "it will all work out" when new specialists are appointed. Some of the area he hopes to see added are marine geology, an important part of oceanography; hydrology; engineering geology, and economic geology. "It's so atisfying to see it all coming," he ays. In the near future, Dr. Pegrum will make a three-month study pf parts of the East and Gulf coasts, working mland through Texas and · olorado, and ending up at Moon Crater Monument, Idaho. Owing to recent photographs of the moon, this area in Idaho is more than ever suspected of being similar to the moon's surface. Nevertheless, it would take years of undoing to convince Dr. Pegrum or any other geologist.that he doesn't have his feet firmly on the earth. W 11 �where the action is meet your campus colleague college campus is "where the action is" as far as Dr. J . Warren P rry, d an of the School of Health Relat d Prof ssions, is cone rn d. And that's why he's her and not still in the nation's capital wh re he served with the Vocational Rehabilitation Administration . Onl)\ on a campus can you f I really a part of the "mainstream" of th health program, he says. That Dr. Perry i now exactly at dead c nter of his field may be surmised from the fact that he' the first chief administrativ offic r for a University division so new that it won't ev n be dedicated until April. The bright and bustling future of Health Related Prof s ions i, in his hands and this 45-year-old ducator, administrator, music lover and "id a man" is enjoying every minute of it. Although both he and the chool ar newcomers to the H alth Cent r t am, Dr. P rry · i~ qt1ick to let it be known that education in the health professions didn't spring up overnight. Since 1954, its Departments of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and M dical Technology had b en affiliated with the School of Medicine. They were simply brought together into a ingle, fully recognized unit Ia. t year. "We already have plans for gradual program in occupational and phy ical therapy and blueprints for at least four other d partmenta--X-ray technology, ho pital-health administration, community colleg health car rs training, and medical r cord librarian. ontinuing education program for practitioner and re earch activities are also on Dr. P rry' "future" agenda. Expanding programs reft ct a growing n d for health-related profe ionals, Dr. Perry explains. "The explo ion of medical and cientific knowledge has been so intense that it ha precipitated a high degree of pecialization. Thi ha been true in medicine, the health professions, the science , a well a the health related A prof ssion . ocial chang and th of th h alth t am concept hav thi s tr nd .

"Th n w t h alth • i nc school tands as dramatic proof of the Univ rsity's willingn ss and det rmination to recognize th changing patt rn of ducation in th h alth prof 88ions," D an P rry say . "Th futur of th chool," add D n P rry, "d p nds on th stimulation of an ali-Univ r• ity approach to h alth training.

Born in Richm ond, Indiana, Dean Perry receiv d his bach lor's d gr e from DePauw Univ r. ity, hi. mast r' s and doctorate in psychology and p rsonn I work from Northwestern Univ rsity in Evanston, Illinois. He also took nne y ar of graduate w rk at Harvard. B fore joi ning the faculty of th Northwestern Unive rsity Medical Sch I, h was a spe ch and Engli h in tructor at St. John' Military Acadmy at Delafi ld, V{isconsin. Indicative of his tal nt for organizing n w enterpri s, h was th fir11t director of pro thetic and orthotic education in th D partment of Orthop die Surgery at Northwe t rn wher h develop d shorttPrm cour. es in thi sp ialty for urgeons, therapists, pro. thetis , orthotists and counlor . During thi time, h held joi n academic rank in the D partmen of Orthop die Surgery • nd P ychiatry. "During my tint at Northw stern, I had my first tast of rehabilitation philo ophy and aw a total health team working together," h r calls. Whil in hicago he was also a psychology I ctur r at th University of Chicago; a coun. lor and a i tant profe or in the Department of Psychology at th uidance center, Univerity of Illinois, Navy Pier; an ducational conultant at the hicago Reading and Spe ch linic, nd coun ling psychologist at the Veteran Administration Guidance Center. Th Dean's po ition at the Northwestern Univer ity Medical School and hi work at the Vocational Rehabilitation Administration in the D p rtment of H alth, Education and Welfar in W hington, as assistant chief and, later, a deputy a istant commissioner of re·e rch and training, have afforded him close t ontact with ducational philosophy and intructional and clinical program in the health related profes ions. Participation on departmental committ of HEW as well as on ad' i ory panels for thfse fields, has given him the opportunity to work with many of the outstandIng univer ity leaders in the _e field and with ' Pac h with professional representatives of the major national- health associations. The Dean still keeps tab on the national scene through his participation as a member of the ommittee on Prosthetic-Orthotic Education, National Academy of Sciences, a nd the National Research Council. He has just been selected to serve on a new committee of the Public Health Service in Washington to review guidelines and regulations for the grant programs being implemented under the new Allied Health Professions Personnel Training Act of 1966, just signed by President Johnson. This Act authorizes the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service to make basic improvement grants to junior colleges, colleges, and universities to increase and improve the quality of educational programs for allied health personnel at the Associate of Arts, Baccalaureate or Master Degree levels. After office hours, Dean Perry is an avid opera-buff, who collects letters of famous compo ers and concert artists, and enjoys taperecording actual performances of rarely-heard opera . Hi letter collection includes missives from Verdi, Wagner, Puccini, Toscanini, Caru o and alias--to name a few . He has attended opera in Italy, Austria, and Germany. And he hasn't missed the Shakespearean Festival plays at Stratford, Ontario, for eight years. Although not a musician himself, he was director, in Chicago, of the committee on -opera education (1957-1961), which was created to promote opera among students and teacher.'! in that metropolitan area. At one time, he had 14 different committees working on this special project, still an active element of the Chicago Lyric Opera's educational program. . A veteran author and lecturer, Dr. Perry 1s the w~nner of numerous professional awards, including the American Orthotics-Prosthetics Association's First Distinguished Service Award, 1966, and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Vocational Rehabilitation Administration's Sustained Superior Service Award, December, 1965. Dean Perry's as ociation with education is no accident. His fllt~er taught in a red brick school house in Ohio, and his brother, Dr. · Charles D. Perry, is professor and chairman of the Department of Classical Languages and Literature at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. "I just can't remember ever considering any other profession," he says. . 13 �f 14 DENDRO HHONOLOGY IN MEX1 0 : Papers in the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Rea arch, No. 2- by Dt·.

For th~ unitiat.ed , Web ter defines dendrochronology as "th cience of dating events, intervals of time and variations in environment in form er periods by study of the seq uence of differences between rings of growth in tre s and aged wood." In the 40 years following its inception as a science, Dr. Scott says, dendrochronoloj!'ists have expanded the use fulne ss of the tr e-ring dating' meth·od to archaeology in the South'w t where roughly 10,000 tree-ring datf.>s extending as far back as the fi rst century B. . have now bee.n produced . Similar dev lopments have taken place in othf.>r parts of the world, suc h as Ala ka, the Missouri River Basin, the Scandinavian countries, several additional countries of Europ including Russia, and, most recently, the Near East. · Mexico has, for the most part, been excluded from suc h studies. Recent excavations at the site of asas Grandes in orthwestern h ihuahua , however, have led to a combined . lqboratory and field study of more tllan 400 wood and charcoal specimen s from that site and to a study of the entire body of archaeological wood in the Mexi can collections of the Laboratory of Tree-Rinl!' Research at the University of ri zona. This volume is the result of that study : its major achievem nt is the dating of asas Grandes and attention is given to the techniqu of statistical correlation by which the dates were established.

An interpr tallve atyli&tic analyi. of the d velopment of Gotthold Ephraim Leasing's u of language 1n comedy tween 1747 and 1767 ~~ Or. Metzg r' a purpose in this ~ tudy. ince character d piction waa comedy' primary task for Leasing, the mann r in whicl\ his u of ~ tyli s ti c m ana supported h i char· arteriution is emphasized, aa are tht' m ana !)y which the playwright fulfilled th contemporary criteria for I nguage in com dy. This atudy is or~ranized to follow the chronological aucc aion of the comedies diMU . The Introduction eatabliahes Leasi ng's broad agr ment with Gott· h d on the _purpo of com dy and it languag : th characten and languag of comedy must reflect the world of the audienc ; th language mu t be colloquial and expre aiv in i naturalness, the various charadera speaking as th ir lempera m nta and eatatea require. From this ba , a aeries of Lesing'a plays ar studied, from " Oer JUnge Gel hrte" (in which th author linda a betrayal of Leasing's inex perience) through '" Die Matron von Eph sus" (written after 1763 and ind icative of certain n w directions in comedy which Leasing might eventually have folio d ). Finally, Le sing's last and greatt comedy, " 1inna von Barnhelm," is analyzed with empha is on Leasing's u of variations of standard d vic s to create the dialogues betw n lnna and Tellh im, to adapt the tone of each to the requirements of every turn of action of the play. This stellar aceompliahm nt, Or. Metzg r says, accounts in great measure for the esteem in which thia last comedy baa always been held in relation to earlier works. A native of Frankfurt, Dr. Metzg r joined the Moderl1 Languages D partment in' ptember, 1963. He had previously served aa inatructo'r of G rman at both th Univeraity of llllnoia ( 1961-63) and Cornell University (1957-61) .

Wha exactly i an Omb d•man? Th School of Law proffer the following definition to stu· d nts enroll d in i sp ial minar on tb l'lubject: "H i an individual who, on r eiving a complaint from a citizen all ging go rnment abuse, inv tig: te nd interven on half of the citiz n with the governmental authority concern d I �1 "If h find that the complaint i well foundd but th branch of government concerned refu to rem dy th situation, the Ombudsma11 I authoriz d to report the abuse dir ctly and publicly to the I gi lativ body which created hi ffic . With th gl r of publicity upon them, the I gislators may then force a just and fair ttl m nt of the complaint." An official cutter of bur aucratic red tape in weden inc 1713, the Ombudsman has only r cently appear d in Denmark, Norway, and N w Zeal nd. Great Britain, in recent months, · nam d her first, and the Canadjan province of Alberta will soon ' be interviewing applicants, on of whom may be the first North American to hold the office on a large cale. Th United State already boasts one local Ombudsman, a tetired judge who claim to h ve pr~eased over one hundred complaints in Nas au ounty, New York. New York City is toying with th concept as' an alternative to it defunct police r view board - and Senator Long of Mi souri introduc d legislation last August which would give the disenfranchised citizens of the District of Columbia a reptent tive to h ar their complaints against the ever-pr nt Washington bureaucracy. Locally, the Ombudsman concept is being tested with the fuJI cooperation of the munic- ipal administration. (In fact, Mayor Sedita recommended the e tablishment of a State-wide office of this kind as part of his• recent unsucce. sful campaign for New York's attorney generalship.) Before undertaking even the preliminary pha e of the Buffalo project, the School of Law approached the City's Corporation ounsel Anthony Manguso, who offered "to clear the way" for the first step - a test run by Professor Angus. As a kind of prototype Ombudsman for Buffalo, Profe sor Attgus looked into several complaints referred" tb him by selected area groups and individuals. Typical of the kinds of problems with which the Ombudsman can deal (and illustrative of his method or, perhaps, more accurately, his lack of it) is the case of a playground referred to Professor Angus. Residents served by a small, neighborhood playground made several unsucce sful requests to the Parks Department for "detachable equipment" - sand and basketball nets, for example, usually delivered to the play area each Spring. When the Law School representative became aware of the problem, he visited the Parks Commi ioner who explained that lack of perso11nel made it impossible for the Qity to provide supervision for all municipal recreation areas - a neces ary pret·equisite for fullr �/' ·.

To do ju t thnt, th Law chool will Aoon put into op ration th s ond pha of it. mbud man projectminar , to off r d for th first tim thi. sem . ter. Enrolling om dot n . turl nt., th cour. will combin discus ion of lh Ombud11man principl and it application to local gov rnm nt with actual xp ri nc in th fi ld.

The Commissioner ::~ugg ted, howe er, that the City would be glad to fill the sandboxes and in tall swings if a church group or , imilar organization would assume re. ponsibility for supervising the area . In his role as go-betw n, Profe.. or Angu . infmmed the complainantR of this alternative. They quickly volunt ered the name of a neighborhood civic group willing to oversee the playground. This was forwarded to th City with a further request for action, and, within a few days, th wing. and and were in place-and in use. Another case happily resolved centered around the u e of a vacant lot, neighboring a railroad track, as a dump for rubbL h, can , bottles, and even abandoned cars. When tel . phone calls to the Sanitation Department failed to bring in the street-c) aners, re idents turnl:'d to their unofficial Ombudsman who prompted remedial action through two hort trip to ity Hall. Summing up the Summer' experience, Profe sor Angus says, "even the few complaints handled give some indication of the many and varied probl!'!mS affecting citizens on the municipal government level. That the e problems do exi t, but rarely see the light of day, is clear. �student will u handerl H complaint r·ec iv d from fl citiz n of iluffalo against a local govPrnm nt agency .

With th a pproval of the, City, the Law School has proposed to a major funding agency the establishment of an institution which would serve as such an apolitical mediator. Tentatively given the description title, "Citizens Admini trative Service," the proposed Ombudsman agency would utilize law student assi tants guided by a full-time director. This expanded, institut*'nalized phase of the School's project would b~ 6pen to the public - branch office might even be estab)jshed throughout the ity to facilitate regi tration of complaint . The School's proposal describes an agency which would embody many of the functions of the "Ombudsman for the Poor" specified in the Office of Economic Opportunity's Legal Services Program. It may also point to the day when ·all structured social institutions provide orne mechani m for effective communication between the official and the unofficial member. For the pre ent, at .least, the Law School's project is of a purely experimental nature. But it may al o be showing some irate citizens that, thanks to their Ombudsman, they don't have to tight ''City Hall." · • �those machin es! ( ' o far, no one has built a comput r than can cook .

The Educational Activities Department has already de igned a full roster of activities geared to the new facility. Seminar in the command language in which us•er will type their questions and the computer will answer are, of course, on the . chedule. Other workshops in concept of time-sharing, the fundamental of the highly technical assembly language, and tandard tatistical procedures are also planned. The big IBM facility will! provide the Center with about six times it present computing power and will be available 24 holll·s a day soon after installation.\ The system is expandable, and eventually may include a number of smaller atellite computer such as IBM models 1130 and 1800.

The I ng p riod of time that VISTA worker spend in the Iurn allow!\ them to experience almost very a pect of ghetto life, right down to the unattended, pi!~ ling drain pipes. The argument that I TA · members are too young and inexperienc d i countered by Mr. Edwards, who believe that institutionalized methods and p ople hav had a que tionable impact on the cont mporary urban cene.

"I only wi h p rent felt equally concerned for the p opl their children were living with," he say . But he feel that VISTA i a worthwhile concept, one which he fear will wane in light of the 1966 elections. he VISTA program is a challenge to our educational in titution , he believes.

And Uni v rsity . th a n wer is d p ndent upon the Univer ity's inte rnal f lings. Jn this cont xt, he says, if the niv r ity is to become a 20th century higher due tiohal in titution, it ough to be located in proximity to th hub of city life-that is, th Buffalo wa rfront. "To say he lea t, thi University is xciting," h ay . He beli ves it h a chance of coming truly gr at institution. And he , almo every discipline r lat d to social w !fare. " Wha Fiedler and Barth are writing i. r lat d," he ay . The am can be id for biological tudi , anthropology, political seine , economics, and a host of others. " I'm th nkful for the div r ity of students w now have at the Univ rsity," he continues. " l wouldn't lik to e them all dre sed with . uit. and ti . B coming part of the State Univ r ity gav us an influx of students from Down tate. This is good. We need students who. thinking ranges from SDS to YAF." Whil he doesn't oppo the bearded stud nt and the r t of the demon trators, he d n't think their actions change one iota the liv of m n without bread on their tables or in their pock . "Th y Jack a program for ocial chang but they may make a psychic contribution," he ay of the demonstrators. H ay th arne of Saul Alinsky's Industrial Foundation. The economic fate of the re ts in economic cent~rs like Pittsburgh, I veland, New York, as well as with th government, not j u t in a ingle city organized by Alinsky, says Mr. Edwards. B u e of thf central importance of the i y to co~tempor ry American life, Dean Edward would like to see the. University develop urban workers." The assi&nment of these \'Orker would be primarily strategy-analyz'l g and programming American institutions or ial invention ·in . terms of "social costs," '1. t, pr ent, and future. The students would • drawn from a multitude of disciplines, each ' ng a number of frames of reference, in- eluding his own, to determine the effectiveness of the institution under study. As the dean envisions it, the students in the program would have to be able to really think. They must be critical, have analytical and creative minds, be unique, mature and responsible. The experimental program would be interdepartmental and under the .supervision of one of the existing schools, perhaps Social Welfare or Education, at the master's degree level. e is emphatic in his belief in the importance of such a worker. "No real progH ress can be made in the United States until the slum are wiped out," he says. "We have to a k our elves what the social costs are of the chool dropout rate which runs rampant in our country' slum areas. We must Jearn more about these areas, a foreign world to most people, where Negroes, Puerto Ricans, .Spanish Americans, and Southern Europeans use the streets as an extension of the living room." One thing is certain, however, says Mr. Edwards. The more people we pack into these areas, the greater the chance of their "blowing up," as biological studies with animals have already indicated and, indeed, as some turmoil has already proven. What he would lik~ to e stopped in these areas in the dilettantism which he feels is practiced by most of our in· stitutions - churches, schools, local governments, to name a few. This doesn't mean, however, that Mr. Edwards favors change for the sake of change. He 'does think we should try to determine in some systematic way the impact and the social co t of our institutions. We may be paying too much in social costs, says Dean Edwards, who talks of the good and evil of industrial smoke tacks ; the money spent for defense ; the money needed to clear out slums and ghettos; the money spent on hitrhways and parking ramps overlooking the sh.lms. Are we willing to pay the social consequences, death from air pollution as an extreme example; for progress 1 How much defense protection are we willing to sacrifice to allow money to be channeled in the direction of slum clearance and equal opportunities? Is the present system of taxation fair? Should individuals enjoy some of the tax exemptions allowed to corporations 1 While Dean Edwards is loaded with questions, he doesn't pretend to have the answers to these social ills. He offers no panacea. But he undoubtedly will continue to ask questions until he gets the answers that offer a realistic approach to social change. • 13 �( 14 GROWTH WITHOUT DEVELOPMENT : An Economic · urvey of Liberia- by Dr. Mitchell Ha1·u•it z, associate pt·ofess01·, economics , a.nd R obert 1-11.

The only scholarly survey of the economics of Liberia ever undertaken, G1·owth Without Devrlopment was researched in the field at the behest of the Liberian government and the U. S. Agency for International Development over a 14 month period in 1961-62. Dr.· Harwitz and his colleagues di scovered that despite its rich resource base and its long association with the technologically advanced United States, Liberia remains one of Africa's least developed nations. As the authors explain in their preface, "We began our work in Liberia by gathering statistical and descriptive materials to prepare Liberia's first set of national income accounts. These soon gave us an idea of the unusual features of the economy ... " The economists suggest that tra- books ditional ocial and political institution have imped d the nation's developm nt and make policy r commendations for improving the Liberian economy based upon their finding . "Our survey is necessarily critical," the authors e plain, " because our aim is to suggest policy improvements, and to do this ffec tively we must focus attention on existing shortcomings." This Spring, the State D partment requested that Northwestern Uni· versity Press delay publication of the study while Liberian official!! determined if it violated a 1960 agreement between the United States and Liberia under which the authors were given access to all but classified government materi Is. Dr. Harwitz is a graduate of Brandeis University and MIT, wher he earned his doctorate in 1959. He was an assistant profe sor of economic at Northwestern from 1958 UJ 1964.

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

What's so strong. ly attracting th attention of national funding ag ncies is th work of scienti ts in the Univer. ity's D partment of Biology, the Arts and Sciences unit whose r cord for supported research L matched only by c rtain clinical departments in the School of Medicin . J u. t two years ago, the department was a much I s favored contender in the cramble for national upport funds. Understaffed, pinched by lack of laboratory space, it managed to provide only limited graduate re earch programs. While undergradtlat instr.uction met high . tandards, ov rail programs and facilities were not yet, in the word of the current chair man, ''tho appropriate to a major state university." Today, that rather grim picture is changing fast. Faculty ha · doubled. The number of tud ntl pursuing graduate tudies has grown to a h althy 74. Still hampered by space limitation , programs have expanded and mu ltiplied into th newest areas of biological investigation. R earch upport ha reached uch proportions that the dep rtment rec ntly obtained the services of a p cial a si tant trained in fina ncial administration. A full-time biological illustrator ha al o been added to the staff to provide faculty with photographic and related services. ertainly a major source of thi thriving department's atrength is its head-Dr. Harold L. Segal, a native New Yorker who erved as an as ociate professor of pharmacology at St. Loui Univer ity before as uming the biology chairman hip here in September, 1964. By his own de cription the "Peck' bad boy of the ColI ge of Art and Sciences," Dr. Segal enjoys shattering mo t of the tereoty~ which cling to cience and scientists. The antithesis of t he narrow sp cialist, the 42-year-old administrator pepper his talk of science with bits of Shakepear , post favorite line from Thoreau and Donne above th rows of beakers in his lab. "The creative spark is just as rare in science a in art," he claim , pointh1g to t he br ightlycolored canvas-the work of California artist Sister Mary CoritJ,-hung above his de k. "Particularly among our graduate and postdoctoral students, we try to foster that spark in preparation for careers of or lginal research." Dr. Segal attributes much of the phenomenal recent growth of campus biology programs t o the "talented, aggressive, and creative" scientists, new and old, on the faculty roster. (He also admits t hat "the State has been good to us," contributing a lmost a half million dollars for equipment and laboratory renovation, the latter resu lti ng in the creation of about 15,000 square feet of useable lab space. ) It is t heir "very high competence," in Dr. Segal's phrase, that ac- · counts fo r t he current quality and diversity of departmental pr ograms. Research interests among the 27 full-time facu lty range wide and free--from aquatic biology to biochemistry, molecular and microbiology, and developmental biology. New appointments continue to extend course offerings. This year, for example, Dr. Walter G. Rosen, a plant physiologist skilled jn the techniques of electron microscopy, left Marquette to accept a University professorship. Other recent appointees include: Dr. La urence Berlowitz, whose principal research interest is the control of genetic readout in cell different iation ; Dr. Todd M. Schuster, engaged in studies of protein physical chemistry and very rapid biochemical reactions; Dr. Roy A. J ensen, currently studying genetic exchange systems; Dr. Kenton Stewart, a Wisconsin-trained physical limnologist whose specialty is eut rophication or t he process of enrichment in regard to nut rients of lakes and streams ; and Dr. Rober t J . Harvey, who is engaged in a study of t he growth physiology of bacteria. Most of what's happening in the Biology Department is happening in the labs. Even Dr. Segal's office is t ucked away in the corner of a large second fl oor lab as if his administrative responsibilities, considerable as they are, are an appendage of his more central research ones. Research should not be relegated to second place even in a Uni versity situation, in Dr. Segal's belief. "Acquisition of knowledge cannot be sacrificed for transmission of it," he says. Nor for the admiJliStration of it, one would t hink, si nce the chairman devotes a considerable port ion of his time to a project exploring the biochemical basis of hormone reactions under a five-year $400,000 U. S. Public Health Service award. In other labs, other research problems are being tackled. Dr. John F. Storr, who has received an $18,765 grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the ecology of polluted and non-polluted lake communities, commutes between Health Sciences and Lake Erie, 1 �! 2 where h will Roon take a nine-mile walk und rwater to examin a critical layer of dust-like material on the Lake bottom . On campu. , Dr. Storr maintaim~ a spec ial "clam room," wh re lake environments are . imulated for less cumbersome examination. A lesR epic but no lest~ important study is being und rtaken u~· Dr. Rosen . In a third tloor lab quipped with a $30,000 el ctron microscope and a refrig rator fill d with lilies, Dr . Rosen is examining the fine struc ture and ch motropiRm of pollen tub s und r a 3 ,500 National cienc Foundation grant. While Dr. R<>R n iR primarily concern d with ba. ic researc!'), his diRcov ' ries about the ch mica! afflnili s of male and female plant c lis may omeday have wide. pread application in the d velopment of new hybrids, for example. Alllo engaged in fundam ntal r search is Dr. No.rman trauss, whose work i. in th area of the exchange of genetic information in bact ria. Pr se ntly involved in a sponsored. tudy of "The Regu lation of Enzyme ... ynthesis in Bal'f erium sn/Jfili.~." Dr. StrausR haR already publi h d many of his findingR about DNA tranAforma tion or, more simply, the biochemical mechanisms of g netic exchange. Working with a more complex organi m i!'l IDr.'C. A.

Diet , low temperature, and ag are also b ing considered in his attempt to understa nd this ph nomen on. To provide live tock for project!\ like Dr. P r ivitera's, the unit maintains its own animal quarters. Here, un.der the careful upervision of Mr. E dgar T .

Between May and September, faculty addre sed international cientific confer nc s in Italy, Brazil, The Netherlands, Hung ry , the Soviet Union, and Japan. Public ervice i al o fo tered. Locally, for example, Dr. Gan ha e tablished a pol on control center, which make anti- ra avail ble to victim of nake bite. Dr. Wilbert H . Spencer �contribut s a monthly pollen and mold count to the All rgy Society of Buffalo. Nor do res arch activities hinder faculty. student contact. In fact, for the graduate stud nl, working alongside the faculty researcher a h untangl s a lab problem is an essential pat·t of th learning experience. Dr. Segal thinks that this tutorial method of instruction i sup rior to bri f, classroom or office encou nt rs. "For two y ars or mor , a thesis adviser p nds up to 60 hours a week with the students working under him ." Even at his chairman's de k, Dr. gal remains within arshot of the graduat and post-doctoral students whom he curr ntly guide . The p rsonal topch is a valuable drawing card in the d padment's ongoing earch for high-quality graduate students. "In the health sciences, th good stud nt is being sought out and upported," says Dr. S gal Biology graduat a istants receive an unu ual $3400 a year, allowing them to live in better than the Appalachia tyl dictated by many student stipends. Also helping the biology unit compete for the most promisi ng young scienti ts i the flexibility of its programs. No rigid compartmentalization hamp r s a m mber of the department wi hing to pursue an interdisciplinary study. Thi year, th d partment joined with biochemical pharmacology in sponsoring a number of eminars of mutual interest. For the future, Dr. S gal, who holds degr es in chemistry and biochemistry, fore the institution here of joi nt ci nee majors which would allow undergraduate tudents to combine a concentration in biology with extensive coursework in chemistry, g ology, phy ics, or statistics. Both formal and informal exchanges with oth r departments will probably proliferate in the year ahead becaus of what Dr. Segal calls "the revolution in the life of sciences." " In the Ia t couple of decades," he explains, " we have witnessed a number of scientific breakthroughs-particularly in applications of chemistry and physic - which permit longought explanations of certain biological phenomena, the mechanisms o{ heredity, for example." As traditional ~stinctions among the sciences crumble, creative people like Dr. Segal and his colleagues search for. new fields to explor . Nodding again toward ihe painting on his wall, Dr. Segal suggests the spirit of their inquiry. "Ultimately,'' he says, "scientific inve tigation enlarges·ma.n's humanity-just as a work of art enlarges it." s~att>d ct the comwl~ of tlt.e department'll huge, 1~0,000 electron microllcopc ill Dr. Walt~tt · Ro•en, a lltudent and teachet· of plant phyllio/ogy.

Made possible by the availability of Slavic language courses on campus, such a program would be able to draw upon the solid research resources of the Russian music collection. And the enthusiasm generated by the November 15 appearance of Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko points to a widespread interest in Slavic culture among faculty and stu• dents upon which to build. Augmenting the purely musical offerings of the Weekend will be several seminars and, on Sunday morning, attendance at a Russian Orthodox Mass at Buffalo's Church of Saints Peter and Paul. Scholarly activities will include a discussion of the historical Tsar Boris and a symposium on the "Soviet Composer: Past, Pre ent and Future" led by Stanley Krebs of the University of .clufomia, Santa Barbara, both on Saturday, January 28.

Copyright~~! by Robert Cree/611, 196~. �meet your campus colleague 11 mid t th current public furor and alarm A ov r rising pric and inflation, a more con, oling point of vi w of the state of the American onomy come from a UB economist. Dr. David I. Fand, prof sor of economics, y, . " Many p ople think we have inflation and th y attribut it to d ncit pending. Th y say the economy i in bad hape and people are wor off now than in the pa t . Thi i as far from the truth a anything can be." H not that until now, the government has en op rating at a urplu . Whit Dr. Fand doe not deny that there has be n a ri in the cost of living, h doe dispute it magnitud , and th cau and effects which h cit for th trend paint a far brighter pict ur than th more common, and according to Dr. F nd, in ccurate, xplanation that this pric ri e is due to inflation. ''The fact that orne of the price that enter into the co t of living ind x have ri en is almost a ribute to our ucc ," he in ist , and has the 11tati tics to prov it. "Unemployment il down below four per c nt, figure· previou )y thought too low to be po ibl , and the gap between potential and actu l output, which six year ago was estimated at 50 billion dollar , is now closed." Ironically, it wa . this general prosperity vhich helped contribute to the price rise now being described as inflation. Prosperity created higher paying jobs in industry, Dr. Fand explains, and those engaged in less remunerative professions such as farming and services migrated to these new openings. Because of the general prosperity, buying power is up, but supply down due to a dearth of workers in not so well paid jobs. For this reason, the cost of food and services, .especially those produced with low wages, rose. But increased prices in such specialized areas, says Dr. Fand, do not constitute inflation, which is defined as a rise in the general price level. "For example, if there were a frost in Florida leading to a shortage of oranges, at which time the price of orange juice rose, you wouldn't say it was inftation," he explains, "or if water for orne reason became scarce and had to be priced at, say, a dollar a galjpn, that wouldn't be inftation either, even though these price rises would constitute a rise in your ·cost of living." States Dr. Fand, "If we had inftation now we would expect the cost of manufactured and finished goods to rise and we would be especially concerned if those commodities where prices are relatively inftexible had risen." Even the three to four per. cent increase in the cost ~f living as stated in the consumer price index is not a completely accurate measure of the cost of living because it tends to overstate it, Dr. Fand argues. �f Improvement of quality which may I ad to a pric rise is not taken account of from year to year, and the index is computed on the a su mption that there is no quality improvement. The economist illustrates a further hortcoming in the consumer pric index with the following example: If tea is cheap during the bas year, lhei·e is a large demand for tea. But if in a subsequent y ar lea is expen ive, p ople buy c,offee and the demand for tea g s down . Th consumer price index, Dr. Fand point out, computes the income the consumer would n d to buy the base year's commodities, and the tated co t of living for the consum r goes up ven though he is no longer buying tea . "food and ervices weigh heavily on the price index,. accounting for 58 per cent, and this can be mi le'ading," he tates. "But these are very flexible prices. Th y can come down just as easi ly -as they hav gone up. For example, when food price go up, farm incom a! o g s up, and there is Jess inc ntive for these workers to leave their job ." 12 n addition, he note that the consum r price I index mea. ures the cost of living for an average worker' family, rather than for any specific groups in the economy, and points out, "if you'r not . pending your money according to1what the index states, you can't draw any conclu ions about individual ca e from it.'' "If there was any mi take in policy," Dr. Fand say , "it happened between July, 1965, and March, 1966, ·when things began building up t0o quickly." ·He attributes thi to e ·ce sive spending and stock-piling by corporation becau e of the war in Vietnam, but points out that "the damage wa not in the level of pending but in the rate of acceleration." " Knowing what we know now, it wa at thi time, if any, that the administration or the Federal Re erve hould have tightened policy," he ays, "but it would have been exc dingly difficult to foresee the con quence ." He call the reluctance of the Federal Re erve and the admini tration to act then "a very minor blemi h on an otherwise pectacular performance." Dr. Fand add quickly, however, that "to take further re tricti\'e action to roll back a price ri e a sociated with event Ia. t year would add additional problems to tho e we now have," and he i sue a grave warning to tho e who are demanding the government to pur ue additional anti-inflationary mea ures. "There are certain obviou facts which every- one can s ," h says, "and p opl ar n't analyzing them corr ctly. You hav to distinguish betw n an inflationary ph nomenon and a r lativ pric ris du to pr ssur s and l'l tr ins In particular s ctors of th economy." "I am not arguing that th co t of living has not gon up, but I am aying that th r a on for this is th ri e in cost of food and rvicet'l. Th pric chang s, which re prim rily reponsible for th ria in th con urn r pric ind x, are du to a r di tribution of r ourc s and do not r fl ct an inflationary spiral." Th conomi t fores s the po ibility of disastrous r s uits if th kind of vigorous antiinflationary m asur that many peopl are r comm nding are tak n. "If furth r r trictiv ctlon by th F d raJ Re rv and the Administration is d mand d, th re could be a rec ion and who knows what I ," h warns. " Furth r r strictiv action now could a. ily generate un mployment." "If enough people think we'r oing to hav inflation and m k wag d mands in ccordance with th ir xpectations," Dr. Fand y , "thi v ry type of behavior could g n rate inflation. Thi ubj ctive fear, if ufficiently wid pread, could g n rat an inflation that oth rwi would not have taken place." A light tightening of monetary policy to curtail d mand has be n warranted, Dr. Fand not , but this has already taken pl c nd hould go no further, unle s additional evid nee is forthcoming. Other rem dial m a ur , he says, are built into the conomy. "The p cia! factor of th departur of p ople from low paying job to higher paying job will ventually correct I If." He add , however, that " orne of thil'l is not corr ctable and people have to realize thil'l." " When there i a large volume of un ml)loyment, ther i a larg body of people to work at low wage and to perform many servic at a fairly low price," the economist explain . "In a more pro. p rous p riod peopl can get better job . Why should I think that th re hould be a corp of able bodied men to rve me for next to nothing?" " We have gone through 70 months of expanion during which income ha gone up 50 per cent," t te Dr. Fand, noting that n averag period of xpan ion i 36 month . "All of this i spectacular, but the one blemish of the ria in the co t of two compon nts in th consumer price index is all peopl talk bout." He conclude that with upply and demand in balance at the pre ent tim , "w can maintain stability.'' �THE STRUCTURE OF PHILOSOPHY T il E ST RUCTURE OF PH ILOSOPII Y-bll Dr. Jack Pu11 tiln.ik, Old {)omJntnn Co lli'QP, and Dr. Dale NH'P''· pro/PtiiOr, philo11ophv.

PS Y C HOANALY S IS AND S HAKE S PEARE - b ~ Dr. Norman N . Holland, chairman, Department .of Engli•h. McGraw-Hill, 1966. 4U page•. Th jacket blurb startle• the brow er: "Shakespeare the man a, h might im pren someone meeting him at a cocktail party." It seems to tease and titilate : " What Ia th e na ture of inspiration 1 T he creative procesa? How do we respond to literature! What kind of ma n was Shakespeare! Did Hamlet auf!'er from an Oedipus complex, or Lad y Macbeth from an obseaalonal neurosia? These are only a few of the questions answered . .. " But, ind ed, this is what t he work is all about. In a tar-reaching survey, Dr. Holland approachea his su bject with the idea that Freud's discovery of the unconscious mind bids fa ir to be the defi ning event in the intellectual life of our t1me : "It has become possible in this century to answer with some certainty the trad itional puzzles about literature." His approach is directed toward th ree different groups of readers : thos interested in psychoanalysis ; those interested in Shakespeare; and those interested in 'humanistic thought in general. In his own words " Roughly one-half of the book con~ sistently develops a consistent argu. ment that you can - and should read from begi nning to end. Chapters 1-5 state what the psychoanalyti c th eory of literature presently is, putting tog ther in one place scatter ed remarks of Freud, Kris and others." Then, the summaries at the ends of Chapters 6-9 state briefly how this theory bas worked out with Shakespeare. (The main parts of these four chapters, by the way, are ef1cyclopedic compilations of everyth ing psychoanalysis has said about Shakespeare.) Finally, Chapters 10 and 11 draw general conclusions, some about Shakespeare, "but others about the way psychoanalysis adds to modern humanistic thought esentlal information without which we cannot understand our relation to Shakespeare or any other writer." With refreshing candor, Dr. Holland adm its that "I originally finished the book in the Spring of 1960," basi ng it upon a kind of " read ing knowledge of psychoanalysis.'' At that time, however, he became a nonmed ical student at the Boston P sychoanalytic I ~stitute and embarked upon their training program. The result : "I totally rewrote the book.'' Dr. Holland joined the University th is year a s Chairman of the De partment of Engli sh.

' . �They ar of n mimeographed or photocopied (rarely tin type) and bound in what's availb) . ircul tion is limited, and none is a money-making proposition. The sporadicals or "The Littles" as the New York T 'm B recently called them, have been defined magazines "designed to print artistic work which for reasons of commercial expedincy is not ace ptable to the money-minded periodicals or pre s." Small in terms of subeription and budget, they are the traditional champion of the literary greats of the next generation - literary historian Frederick J. Hoffman calculates that 80 per cent of the major American writers to emerge since 1912 first achieved recognition in the pages of little magazines. While Buffalo has not yet produced a little magazine of the caliber of the first of them Harriet Monroe's Poetry: A Magazine of Verse, the City currently supports several noteworthy sporadicals. Mo t ar magazines of poetry, stiffened with excerpted fiction, reviews, sketches, an oceaional short tory. At least three local miscellanies of this type appea·r with some regularity on the crowded little magazine shelf in the Student Book Shop. Here, the initiated go to discover the late6t number of Fubbalo (published by , Student Book Shop owner Edward Budowski) ,· the Niaga-ra F-rontier Review, or Audit. Last year, these were sometimes joined by a nameless publieat~on, described by one reader as the "most exciting magazine in Buffalo." Untitled, or the Journal of Fu-rther Studies as it w sometimes called, has since gone the way of most sporadieals. Lately, its place on the shelf is being filled by a local magazine with the hopeful title Intrepid. Sandwiched between their cousins from other cities and campuses, the Buffalo magazines come in all shapes, colors, and sizes. But under their paper skins, most are remarkably alike. Key names recur on the title pages. Allen Ginsberg, Charles Olson, Denise Levertov, Robert Duncan, Le Roi Jones, all poets of national prominence, frequently contribute original work for local publication. However, talented campus-affiliated poets such as Saul Touster, John Wieners, Mae Hammond, Stephen Rodefer, Charles Doria, Fred Wah, Albert Glover and others are the mainstays of these regional poetry magazines, producing a seemingly endless number of verses. What appears in print is not always even in quality but it is very rarely dull. Socially and politically aware, the sporadicals sometimes become shrill in espousing particular · causesin these lines by Diane de Prima in Intrepid (1, 1), for example: a few of ua tried it, we tried to stop with printing/we tried to protect you with mimeograph machines .. ./well, the best thing to do with a mimeograph is to drop it/from ·a five story window, on the head of a cop (from "Goodbye to Nkrumah"·) But providing a forum for these new voices, whatever their tone, is the avowed purpose of most of ·the magazines. As Fubbalo told its readers, they supply "A/ Longed for/ Opening." The Buffalo Iittles currently seem to operate under two major and dissimilar poetic influences- Charles Olson and Allen Ginsberg. Formerly a member of the University English faculty, Mr. Olson was instrumental in attracting to Buffalo much of the talent which now fills its sporadieals. Described by a fellow poet as "a Zen priest/ You could put in your pocket," he continues to e~ert a strong, "spiritual" influence on Buffalo verse as evidenced by the frequent dedication of poems and even entire issues of the local magazines to him. ins berg, too, is regarded locally as someguru. -Perhaps the best known beat generation, the greatmaned poet has lately included the City in his round· of campus visitations. This April, he played a central role in the student Spring Arts Festival here and since then has contributed a portion of his Calcutta Journals to the maiden issue of Intrepid. Through contacts like these, the sporadicals reflect what's happening in the larger world of the arts. But they are also intensely local. Many of their titles are as home-grown as Buf- G thing of a survivor of the �' If,.,.. 'ht• pot! A /1111 (;,.,,.b, ry.

That mix of education and I ctronic. which is now being champion d as the univ rsal antidote has b en tri d b fore and found lacking. For tho e who can't r call, more than 202 ducational broadcasting stations were auth oriz d by the Federal Communications omm1 . 1on between 1921 and 1936. Yet, only a handful remained on the air as long as tran, atlantic Zeppelin were in it. When the Hindenburg crashed, there were only 38 educatiomll outle s left to report it. One who remember th se stati tic and d rive a pointed meaning i William H. Si mering, a ociate coordinator of tudent activiti s and faculty manager for campus radio tation WBFO-FM. . According to Siemering, the demi e of th se blimp.age educational stations wa dir ctly attributable to their failure to becom int gral parts of the educational institutions which held the licenses. Today, he warn. , as educationally-licen ed broadcasting enjoys a revival along with FM radio and in television, that arne mortal plague still lurk . In fact, it almo t felled WBFO as recently as the ~arly 1960' . In November of that year, the Rtabon-which had debuted on the FM airways tation' cr w. he real purpose of a univ r ity tation, Siemering f el, , ar : oppor unity it T afford. th institution to xt nd its r tWurc and knowled~ into the community; to t Man important ducational and ocial force; and provide program not comm rcially f ibL , but educati nally ignificant.

Si mering himself is host and interviewer and has set out to captur som of the folklore of the Indian which can only be pres~nted via the spok n word. Siemerii1g is convinced that it is in this typ of broadcasting that creative ducational radio can make truly unique contribution.. While subj cts requiring oral concentration --=> uch as language instruction-ar natural for radio, areas requiring full u~e of the imagination are equally appropriate, he f Is. In Wi consin, he recalls, radio art classes prov d superior to tel vi ed instruction b cau television stifled the imagination of the tudents; they drew what they were shown on TV. When radio was used, the results were more fr '· wheeling. WBFO experimented in art last Spring by means of a technique which it called, "radiovisi n." The radio audience sat at home viewing prints of student painting which were inserted in the tati on's monthly program guide while niversit.y art profes ors John Mcivor and Willard_ HarrL discu d the works with the student in the art studio. lt wa rather a wild innovation, but a • ucce sful on~.> . The station last year al. o broadcast the "listening" portion of. a campus music appr ciation course. Thi wa not only a conveni nc for student·, but also eas d the strain on th already over-taxed mu ic listening facilities of Baird Hall. iemering i convinced that. with gt·eater cooperation from the academic community, WBFO could provid more uch ervices. In term of it new coverage, WBFO attempts to present information and interpr t.ation-in-depth, to be "New York Time -i h" if you will. Lacking sufficient taff to cover local and campu events, it concentration is on national and int~.>rnational new .

One a few year ago, he made a porchto-porch s urv y in one of the ity's lowest socio-economic arra . To his s urpri e, he found that 32 per cent bf the people whom h interview d were able at least to identify the tation : " Your newscasts are longer ; you play more cl ical music." WBFO curr ntly broadcasts on 88.7 megaeye! with a power . of 770 watts. Recently, T th F deral ommunications ommission haR authori zed an increase to 6.3 kilowatts ERP (n arly a ten-fold jump) and an accompanying capabi lity for stereo broadcasting. New st udio facilities are planned for Norton Union provi ding two control rooms, three studio~ and other work areas not presently available. When thi s expansion is accomplished-and Siemering now believes it will be early next yea r - the station can enter still another new era. At least, it will have the physical facilities to move outside the incubator of student activitie and become an educational broadcasting ervice in the fullest sense. Whether or not it actually will do this depends upon whether or not WBFO can rout the bogeyman of lack of close institutional identification. As a tudent-run station, WBFO has done a very creditable job- perhap an outstanding one- but, Siemering feels, it has just about reached the limit of its potential. A ugge ted alternative is to have the University both fund and run the station as an important and integral part of its education program by hiring a nucleus of a professional staff. (It is currently funded by the Faculty-StudentA sociation with one full-time employee, a chief engineer.) With a profe. ional staff, hours of operation could be expanded and program serviCes could be extended to include: (1) the broadcasting of cour es, both credit and non-credit; (2) ·continuing education programs; (3.) in- choollocal broadcast for elementary and high schools; and ( 4) ·dramatic productions using the local WorkRhop Theatre and the Stupent Theatre uild . A profes iona l staff, Siemering maintains, would not exclude student participation. There would, in fact, be greater opportunity for student training in continuity writing, control operation, announcing, new editing, mu ic programming, under the upervision of a profesional per on. Moreover, students might also wi h to operate a s parate closed circuit system to the dormitorie~ where they could program along commercial Jines and be a self-su pporting group. Meanwhile-and whether or not it ever become that integral part of the University which Siemering feels will assure its futurethe station for the time being will probably continue to improve. As Henry Tenenbaum points out, "the station believe in overextending its capabilities and then trying to catch up." "Otherwise," he says, "we would never get around to doing anything new and different." 7 �meet your campus colleague ( on't call Dr. Jimmie Holland "sir."

J arne · Holland, who can saf ly be' ca lled s ir. Although the feminin Dr. Holland ays, "I'm sure we're sc rambled," she note, that herR was not an uncommon name in the tiny Te. as tow1i. where s he was born . It wa. in that town of F orney, a community who e industrial undertak in g. include cotton gins and toy ball on .. that she nurtured h r ambition to becom a doctor. Th a t a mbition was fulfilled in 1952 when s he received the M.D. degree from Baylor Univer. ity' School of Medicine in Hou ton, Texa . But it was not until she served her internship at St. Loui s City H o pita! that she d cid d to specjali ze in psychiatry, a field which until then ~ad occupi ed one of the lowest place on h r preference li st. She completed her residency in St. Louis, and remained there for a time a a Unit d tat s Public Health Service research fellow in p. ychi~try at the Washington University School of Medicine. In 1954, she joined the staff of Ma sachu etts General Ho pita! as a clinical and re earch fellow, and erved the ho pital as chief resident in p ychiatry for a pe riod of six month s. After 18 months of residency at Ma achuetts General, she married th original Dr. H olland, who was then as ociate chief of medicine at the Ro well Park Memorial In titute, and became a permanent re ident of Buffalo. Now, a chief of the P ychiatric Liai on Service at Meyer Memorial, the econd Dr. Holland supervi es the care of patient referred to her for psychiatric evaluation. En conced in a small office in the basement of the ho pita!, he talks of her trade enthu iastically. "I never really wanted to teach," he ay , "but since I have been teaching medical students and residents, I have found it to be one of my greatest joys."

Taking th hou ehold (or res idential group) a th basic unit of analysis, the study concentrates on four aspects of family organization: economic and demographic conditions, th courtship and mating system, hou hold romposition, and interpersonal relationships.

Dream of Unity is an examination of the success of Pan-Africanism in West Africa through a study of four attempts to unite French and English speaking slates. The exa mples include the Cameroon Federal Republic-a successful instance of political unification- a'hd three cases in which Pan-Africanism failed to bring about political unity: Ghana-Togo, Senegambia, and the Union of Africa n States formed by Ghana, Guinea and Mali. Exploring the reasons for the success or failure of these efforts at unification, Professor Welch concludes that as time passes and the individual governments and economies become more distinctly deVf)oped, pressures toward Pan-Afri. canism and the political unification of Africa will grow more remote.

R ending NewFlannery York : ' on nor (Et• l'lflhillg That Rises Muat 14 o•11 • ~rge, Noonday Press, 1!l6H), one is tempted to compare her with contemporary writers. For example, he was born and raised ·in Georgia and wrote as knowledgeably about her own back country as Faulkner did about his Jefferson ounty. flut in t~rms of charact r development, Flannery lacks Faulkner's literary finesse . Through his psychological soliloquies, Faulkner provides a convincing reality for his Compsons, Sutpens, 1c a~lins; his Dilsey, Lucas. and Sam Fathers. In Flannery's short stories, the interior monologue of her churactl'rs are never quite rid df their author. Partly this is pure technique. Absent in I i~s 0' nnor's stories are the long italiciz d passages so characteristic of Faulkner and later, of Styron. (Joyce, who perfected the technique of interior monologue, helped his readers very little. Frequ ntly, his charnel rs lapse into long, disjoint d, tal'it conversations, all of which ar . t in Roman type. But he also wt·ote for the sophisticated and pre urn d upon his t·eaders to r ogniz the some· time abrupt shifts mad by his characters. ) Both the style and the technique mployed by Flannery 0' onnor - would you believe se m clos r to that of Katherine Mansfield or Katherine nne Porter. But let's consider Flannery for Flannery' sake. Her short stories are good reading. Even though her characters are somewhat one-dimensional, they are convincing because most of them are identifiable types. They have their epiphanies, but too often these sudden insights come too late to alter the inevitable. These rude awakenings (when they do occur) mak her characters both responsible and, therefore, tragic. Her themes are absorbing because they are both unlv r11al and contt•mJX>· rary. Worn n, intt'gratlon, mod rn religion, and naturt', again and again, provid th r w mat rial for h r examination of contempor ry I!OCial and moral vatu a. h c ta women in very po ible role, but th y always emerge a inept, stupid, or de tructive. In her fir t two atori , "Ev rything That Rise. Must onv rg " anrl "Gr t'nleaf," ov rb aring, proud moth rs have educated on who are failur largely becau the sons, in both case , are imbued with their mothrs' vatu s-mora!, . ocial, conomic, and intellectual attitud 11 - which bre d their own malignancies. In other ca es, ostensibly kind moth rs, in "Th omfort of Home" and "The Enduring .hill," crific th lr ~on to maternal lf-fulfillm nt. Through a twi t of ir urn tances, Thoma is surely cond mned to di for the accidental s hooting of his moth r who unwittingly b fri nds a nymphomaniac. And bury Fo , beli ving he ha com hom to die triumphantly, fin lly comes to r al iz that he will live out his life with an overly solicitous mother and a cynical ister in th int II ctuallydead Georgia hint rlands. Over and over, Flann ry 0' onnor's characters ar If-propelled tow rd hideou endings. In "The Lam Shall Enter First," Norton is victimized for respecting his mother' memory which Rufus Johnson vindictively des rates. But by the time Norton's fath r, h ppard, r alize hi own failure at integration, young Norton ha already hanged hims lf and Rufus Johnson has destroyed heppard, hi would-be sav- university reader Flann ry's mor elu iv to ard religion also nin short tori a. htor principal charac ra ar (a) elf. righteoua, r ligioua p pi ; or ( b ~ agnostics.

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

The maps were covered with a matrix of squares or other equilateral polygons. Placed on the maps were pieces representing the various field units: cavalry, infantry and artillery, in their designated field strengths. Two such paper armies were JTayed one against the oth r, and top echelon officers pitted their military skills in moving th "troops." Po ntialiti for the game-annies were created from historical situations as modified by contemporary developments in military science. Often the exercises reached such a level of complexity that he only way to make them more real would have been to .actuaUy fight the battle. Today the me imulation technique is being applied to business situations with computation being carried out on a computer. Such computer-oriented games are taught now in one course each in industrial engineering and business administration at the University. Two m mbe of the faculty of the School of Business Administration are inventors of such gam . Dr. John C. G. Boot, professor of management science, has a game to his credit in th coll tion held by IBM. Dr. Donald E. Calvert, assistant dean and assistant professor in the School, formulated a game which has been used by the Buffalo Area Chamber of ommerce and i heduled for nationwide distribution by the Cnamber. Dr. Boot is also the creator of a non-computer game used for the first time in a conference of economics prof n held at Stanford last Summer to investigate the latest teehniqu for bing economics. "Management imulations," as they are called, are relativ~y easy to describe. Dr. Calvert' MAP (Management Action Policy Simulation) follows the general pattern: tud nts are divided up into teams of three, each team being a "company" competing with five or ix other teams in a single product industry. The game is divided up into ten periods of play, each pe ·od representing three months in the life of the c~mpany. During each period, the team make financial decisions which affect, in order, the selling price of the product, promotion expenditures, plant expansion, an<! production. The corporate decisions of all three team are then fed into the computer (an IBM 1400 series model). The computer \ , �Until its ef!rctive1! 1'88 a s a teachin g dl't•~c.l' can be d termined, br1sineu gaming occupies a twrltgh t '?ne b~­ tween traditional clauroo m mt thoda and e:rpl'rll'nc m the " real world" of buaint ll. 2 program i et up in uch a way a to analyze the effect of the decisions, to compute th al of each company and it hare of the market. The companies then evaluate the r ult of their policies before making a new et of decision . The teams comp te in thi manner for the ten period of the game. Such a game take about ten to 12 hour to play, although twice to three times that amount of time can easily be pent in di cu ion and evaluation. The "learning experience" occur not only during play, but during evaluation a well. The advantag of the simulation method are obvious. Since the games approximate real lif . students have the opportunity to gain urrogate experience with little expenditure of time. Th y have to both make decisions, and live with the consequences. The model of the game is ufficiently accurate to the "real world" of bu ine to make the experience valid. They can learn by doing, and theory i understood from practice instead of in a vacuum. And, pre umably, it i more interesting to learn by playing a game than by studying a book. Under ideal circumstances, the conditions of competition pur the students to give their be t efforts. This is the crux of the arguments put forth �th most ophisticated of the games - CIT's MATE (Manag m nt Analysis Training Exercis ) - has found that the complexity of the gam is r warding, especially when it is coupled with a "dir ctiv " teaching approach that saves tud nts from having to discover the real questions of the mod 1 by empirical means. He att mpts to sub titu "trial and error" with "1 ading questions." MATE, now being used for the third year running in he upper-level marketing course, constituteS' a major part of the syllabus. Much of what is learn d in the course is learned from th gam , although more emphasis is now put on integrating th g m with the rest of the cour . Dr. Andr n f els that the game is at least a effectiv as conventional teaching methods, and that the advantag s of simulation make it mor d sirabl than conventional teaching alon. Th gam play d in the Department of Indu trial Engin ring under the general supervision of Dt. Wayland P . Smith, professor and ch irman of the D partment, is simpler than MATE. H r the game constitutes only 15 per cent of the cour e coot nt. Th general reaction to thi game i also enthusiastic. Students from oth r fi ld h ve mad inquiries into being allowed to tak th course on the basis of their friend ' reactions. The Department even held a ''con st" betw n niors, juniors and faculty mem rs. The faculty lo t by default, incidentally. Th re does not em to be any serious question from any quarter about the usefulne of "learning while playing." But most teachers who have had exp rience with the games are willing to dmit that there is no proof that the gam ar "better" teachers of the principles of d ci ion making, or that the games reach more tudent than conventional methods do. Ther does, in fact, seem to be strong evi· denc that not all students get a kick out of playing the games. Why this is so is still unknown. A the romance and glamor of games start to wear off, it beco~s clear that they are not a "wonder drug" for education. If anyone thought that games would make it possible for every tud nt to enjoy learning, that thought is no longer held. Dr. Andreasen has not found the game to change significantly what the students learn from what they learned under the conventional teachlng methods. Whether games are. destined ever to play a supplemental or an essential and central role in teaching at the University is also impossible to say. It does seem likely that they will play a greater and greater role in teaching. It even seems likely that research into the value of the games will reveal things that cannot be revealed about the standard teaching methods. Dr. Calvert is working with a researcher from Cornell who feels that you can tell who will and who will not find the game interesting. If this is really possible, and the idea that interest aids learning is valid, a whole new area of educational research may open up, and, for instance, games could be used with tudents who should be predisposed to learn from them, while others not so predisposed could be directed into other courses where other criteria are used and other methods employed. There is something still of an element of science fiction, or at least alchemy, in such an idea. And there is also in the minds of many a certain suspicio.us quality in playing games in college. Neither suspicion is justified, however. These games are invented by men, not by computers, and their ultimate worth is dependent on the wisdom of the inventor and user. The subject of what makes a good game is under endless debate, and ·Unpredicted values crop up in playing games that are not directly related to the game, but instead derive from the conditions under which the game is played. By the report of all involved in the games at the University, "environment" is a factor of central importance in the success or failure of the game. Dr. Boot maintains that being able to play the game in ideal conditions can make a great deal of difference. Competing teams ought to have adequate private space in which to work, blackboards and other learning aids, and enough time so that the best efforts of the team can emerge. Dr. Andreasen's colleague, Philip R. McDonald, lecturer in business administration and marketing, is convinced that measurable improvement might come if the right environment can be ~btained. But, as he points out, students have I different schedules, which makes meetings sometimes difficult, and the necessary space is not available at this time. In pite of these difficulties, those using games at the University feel that the simulation method is a successful teaching device whose potential as a learning mechanism has yet to be fully exploited. Chester Meek, of the University Computing Center, for instance, suggests that the use of simulations is limited only by the ability to create workable models. It is conceivable, in other words, that games could be created in almost any field of scholarship, from poetry to political science, from aerospace engineering to anatomy. 3 �( .t ' �v nd community Th international Associ tion of Univer ity Ev ning oil g swill hold its 28th Annual onv ntion in Buffalo October 30. November 3 with Millard Fillmore oil g - the UB adult ducation. division - s rving as host. Th occasion is fraught with honors for MF : Its d an, Dr. Robert F. Berner, has been pr sid nt of the a sociation for the pa t year; h will d liv r th pr idential address at the m ting. MF is al o providing the keynoter in th per on of President Martin Meyerson, who will consider "Exc 11 nc in the Pursuit of Living," on Monday, October 31. As th y conv rge on Buff Jo, delegates from th United ta es and anada will find in MFC n urban v ning colleg , not unlike most of the Institution th y r pre nt- a robust, vigorous force th t h had a profound influence on both Univ r ity; and community, an innovative leadr with its nger squar ly on the beat of today's urban pul . MF i 43-years-old this Fall, but it has nevr n young r. d, u if to prove its vitality, it has recently divided i lf'into two administrativ d · p rtments - (1) an Office of Continuing Educ tion for non-credit programs g r d to urb n life and special profe ional n ds nd (2) the mor tr ditional Evening oil ge. A mo t of its sister institutions, MFC was formally establi h d "to xtend the Univ rsiy' ph re of usefuln by offering instruction in th v ning to youth and adult who occup tiona] n iti s pr v nt their attendance upon th day ion of the Univ rsity." D pite th som what stuffy wording of it manda , MF quickly gav notice that its performanc to be neither rigid nor standardized. A n perimenter in new cour es and n w pro ram , it became both the community's rv nt nd the prog nitor of ver I departm nts nd chool , now stablish d respected m mber of th Univer ity's day division. For thos eking degre , desiring to Jearn vocation I kills or op-d te prof ional knowld , or wi bing simply to incre their knowldge and und rstanding of cultural matters and public ff ir , MF through th years has off red a variety of both credit and non-credit cour . M ny of th latter have been co-sponsored by nd tailored to the precise needs of I 1 organization such as th American Institut of B nking, th Greater Buffalo Board of R altor and th Insur rice Club of Buffalo. Enrollment has grown steadily. In the Fall of 1965, 5,500 students were registered. in degree-credit courses. Another 4,000 were enrolled in non-credit offerings throughout 1965-66. Today's Evening College primarily serves those pursuing degrees. Although MFC confers no degree of its own, its students may earn - entirely through evening study - one or more of the following: associate in arts, the associate in applied science (in business methods, real estate and insurance, traffic and transportation, and technology), the bachelor of arts in several areas, the bachelor of science in business administration and the bachelor of science in engineering. Students in these. programs comply with day school regulations regarding . admission procedures, credentials and satisfactory academic progress. The Evening College also serves two groups of non-matriculated students : those with bachelor' degrees who wish to take regular courses for enlightenment or enjoyment and those who desire specific vocational skills in such areas as insurance and real estate to qualify for New York licensing exams. To provide opportunities for developing and exercising leadership and to give students a voice in the affairs of both their Division and the University, the Evening College sponsors a Student Association which awards scholarships, organizes social and educational events, supports special interest groups and publishes a newspaper, the Midnight Oil. Five elected officers and several appointed officials administer the affairs of the Association which also has a representative legislative branch, the Student ongress, which meets monthly during the academic year. Even the busiest st1,1dents sense a need for this supplementary "college life." Having recently separated continuing education from the Evening College, MFC defines this function as those non-degree-oriented service .which enlarge the background of the postcollege community through the presentation of unique information and knowledge unavailable elsewhere.

It intends to give them equal mpha is in the future. This past Summer, the ontinuing Education Offic .sponsored residential conf renee in at least five scientific-technological areas for pr cticing engineers. This Fall, attention will be focussed on programs in h alth aspect of industrial and municipal water treatm nt, a survey of business administration, cr ative value engineering, and advertising fundam ntals and operations. A second important respon ibility of the Continuing Education Office is th drafting of proposals for federal or other fund with which to initi~te programs, projects and in titut of benefit to the community, g nerally.

This year, the Office of Continuing Education is prime contractor for a 30,000 federal grant to establish in Buffalo a o-operativ Urban \ Extension Center which will promote University-community dialogue on such local problem as poverty, integration, transportation, government and planning.

Operating und r an executive board of representatives from th involved college . and from government and community agencies, the Center will spon or two conferences and initiate a leader hip training program this year. The fir t conference, "The Impact of Social Factors on the Expanding Niagara Frontier," will deal with the lack of coordination between ocial and physical planning in urban renewal; the second, will combine the idea of community and University leaders in a blueprint for "The Niagara Frontier in 2000 - A Utopian View."

(From "The Making of Salo," from Still Lives and Other Lives , by Saul Touster.) alo, the character who has "injected him. elf" into the works of poet Saul Touster, is a rather lowly creature, subject to a mild p rversit~ who inhabits t he streets of The City, for all th world a vagrant in a normal society. He i touched by t he le ser things of life coat buttons, tailor shops, sports pages, eateri s, the insides ol jails - and yet, somehow, as in the lines quoted, he has an imaginative power of perception which is matched only by th perception of his creator. Saul Touster, professor of law, is a member of a frat rnity elf lawyer-poets which includes Goethe, Wallace Stevens, Ar'Chibald MacLeish and the prominent contemporary English poet, Roy Fuller. H haa bad many of his poems published i'n recent years, and this paat Summ r, he w pre nted the 1966 Devins Memorial Award for a volume of poetry, to be published in December by the University of Missouri Press. Called Still Lives and Other Lives, the volume containa many fine poems, the best of which are included in the ction calJed "The Lives of S lo." Whenever a character like Salo appears in th work of a poet, there is a tendency to try to claim that the character and the poet are one and the sam man. The same facile rea oning would sugge t that a lawyer-poet is a sort of JekyU-Hyde. But Tous:ter is no Salo, and it is much more likely that the positions and dispoitions that led ToUHter, Stevens, Goethe, MacLeiah and Fuller to law and W. C. Williams to rn dieine I d them to poetry well. Thi• is at least true of Toust.er. His life and work m to be governed by an expansive humantam. a p rt of which is a strong respect for the soclat nd cultural wisdom that can be unlocked from T))e Law as well as Art. It's no ~. then, t'at Saul Touster haa a deep S though critical admiration for the great jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes. ' Just as in the case of Salo, for whom distinctions of time were not necessarily confined to hours and days, but could be measured by the several "dawns" in a row of street-lights, Touster ill subject to a different set of distinctions than the conventional ones. In "The Muse's Widower," the poet conceives of himself in a moment of boredom as subject to a very personal measure of time : Our holtesB commands the 1alad and laughs at one of my jokes. Here! am- between jokes. . The intervals "between jokes" are hardly inactive for Touster, although to see him walking around campus, it's hard to believe. His manner is easy-going, much as though·he were following a motto that Salo would appreciate. On the window of a downtown bar - a natural haven for Salo, if he lived in Buffalo - is inscribed "Good Fellows Walk Slow." Touster's slow walk and casual movements are deceiving, though, for he consumes quantities of energy in writing and teaching. In writing, if poetry comes first (.and this is not necesarily clear) then law articles are a close second. Interestingly, he does not write literary criticism. "l ha:ve tried to avoid it," he says, · "which might explain why I chose law instead of literature aa a profession. There is a certain danger, I think, in having a career in literature become too careerist if you are a writer. My greatest literary interest is in a sense of the life from which my work comes." But literature and law come close together, and..the boundary between writing and teaching starts to blur when he is at work on his "long essay or short biography - I don't know which yet" on Oliver Wendell Holmes. By Touster's description, the work is written with a combination of the tools of psychology and New Criticism. His own specialty in law also reflects how difficult it is to pqt him into neat categories. Two of the courses he teaches, and some of the articles he writes, are interdisciplinary in nature. Law and medicine and law and psychology are the subjects of two of the courses he is currently teaching. It was in . large part due II �( 12. to his efforts that Jerome Hall, distinguished service professor of law at Indiana University, was invited here last April to I ad a number of seminars in psychiatry, philosophy and ducation as well a the law. "I try to deal with law as a humanist discipline, as I think Holmes r alized it is," Touster says. "My approach is that of modern American legal realism, sometimes called 'sociological jurisprudence.' Probably a new nam for it will have to be invented soon." In this approach, the att mpt i mad to articulate the values at stake in making choice in society: "On the highest level, these choices are being made in constitutional law, but th y ar made in the smallest ca es - wills, for exampl as well." In a study he was commis ioned to do for the State of New York, Mr. Tou ter examined ·the legal implications arising from th birth of children after the making of a will and the death of the parent. "The study can hardly b called philosophy or literature, certainly, but I found myself confronting some very large que tion in this admittedly minute area of the law : they too concerned society's value - what are the choic s to be made?" In Octob r of 1944, history, and its ist r, occ}lsion, conspired to hand 19-year-old Saul 1 Touster three documents that were to "drv him off behind the ears." All at once, as he t;ll it, he had in his hands a commission in the Navy, his bachelor's degree from Harvard and his orders to join the crew of a high octane gasoline tanker set for duty in the South Pacific. "It turned out to be as good a way to pend the war as any," he now says. "I found my elf in the world of Jo eph Conrad. Th re I wa on a tanker moving from port to port - Born o, New Guinea, the Philippin s. We had a few incidents, but mostly, life wa dull. It wa mor like a boy going to sea than going to war." After the war, he returned to Harvard, where he earned his law degree in 1948. H began writing poetry in earnest after his r • lease from the service. Graduating from Law School, he went to New York ity, where he practiced law until he came to teach at the University in 1955. His associations with the University go beyond those of poet, lawyer and teacher. The intimate connection in his life between his writing, his teaching and his service to the University is remini cent of an earlier age. One of his fellow poets on campu ironically called him "an acknowledged as well as unacknowledged legislator of the World," picking up on Shelley's famous dictum on poets. The World may be too larg a provinc in thi literal way for on man, but Tou ter has found both th tim and d sir to s rv th University in a "1 gislativ " f shion.

The Berkeley events signiti d to many th end of the "silent gener tion," the years since World War II during which college and university students pr sumably view d the American scene with little, if any, critical judgment. The students of that period were thought to be silent because of the timidity created in the time of the late Senator McCarthy or because of placid acceptance of college life as a set of rites preparatory to becoming junior organization men or suburban parents. Others attributed the silence of students to their coddled and passive existence in miniature collegiate welfare states under th umbrella of the larger welfare state. The news m dia, particularly sensitive to student "insurrection" becaW!e of their extended coverage of the Berkeley experience, found examples, during the following months, of student unrest at Yale, Maryland, Ohio State, Colorado, Columbia and elsewhere. In addition, there were the campus wrangles over United States policy in Viet-Nam. Many observers linked student protests to student participation in the civil rights movement, although they split on their appraisal of the linkage : some hailed the new student militant morality, implying a modem children's crusade was underway; others deplored the lack of respect for law and order, implying a dangerous political revolution was festering . I doubt that we can appropriately label this decade's student as vocal, and last's as silent. Instead, I prefer to try to understand today's college student as a member of an egalitarian near-majority rather than of an elite minority. The major change in American higher education in the la4t; half century is that college has shifted from being the prerogative of a few (only one in seven youn~ people of college age went on to college as late as 1939) to being the life pattern of almost half of the young people and, in some urban areas, more than half. With five and a half million students, a third of whom are women, American colleges and universities have a larger population than Denmark, Ireland, or any one of a majority of the independent nations in the United Nations. At such a scale, higher education increasingly contai ns the divergences and convergences of the larger American culture. With these vast numbers, paradoxically, even a small minority may be large. If 98 per cent of the students are "silent," and the other 2 per cent dissenting, the latter category would have over 100,000 students, a large figure for any kind of protest. (No single national group devoted to student protest is that large; for example, the Students for a Democratic Society claimed a national membership of over 3,000 in 1965.) However, even a relatively small number can, if concentrated at a few influential institutions, have a potent national impact. The Berkeley protests started over political activity and speech, but then stimulated cornplaints about education. It is surprising to me that there is not more student debate about education; the strains within the present educational situation suggest many sources for student dissatisfaction. I do not endorse flamboyant acts like campus sit-ins any more than I endorse the Watts solution to racial tension. But I do welcome student concern about their education and hope for continu~d questioning and even some answers to problems of developing further the intellectual community, the preparation for work, and the other functions which the American campus serves. In the shift of higher learning to a mass base of students, many strains are put on students since they are all expected to go to college if they are to share the rewards of the middle class. I shall comment on some specific complaints which, students make about their life at colleges . ~d universities. 'These complaints followed the free speech protests in Berkeley. They are not all new, but they have quickly become part of the current rhetoric of students seeking university reform in several parts of the country. The issue of free speech itself and the latitude for it at Berkeley have been widely discussed elsewhere, and my comments will largely be on other matters. Neither the issue nor the discussion has ended. The questions surrounding student speech and pol- �education of the maiority ... itical activity must be examined in term of lhe purposes of higher education for the American studerit and the redefinitions of these purpos s which ~re and should be taking place. CENTURY AGO there were about 50,000 students enrolied for degrees in Am rican institutions of higher education. The Morrill Act, supporting land-gra~t ~ollege~. ~ad been passed in 1862; the egahtanan prmetple of th~ fronti r ~nd its emphasis. on advanced practical education as the opemng to opportunity had begun to be felt. As the Amencan dream was sketched in, the number of students enrolled for degrees rose five times to almost a quarter of a million by the turn of the century. By the end of World War I that figur had more than doubled; it doubled again by 1929 and more than doubled once more by the end of World War II and again since then. Never in the history of the world have so many young people continued their education beyond the secondary school as in Am rica today. Indeed, there are as many Negro students in colleges and universities in the United States 1 as , there are students in higher education in England. However, the very poor do not share America's college bounty any more than they partake of affluence in other areas. America's colleges and universities are not limited to a social, an economic, or intellectual . elite; they are educating nearly everyone. So'ori most American families will have one or more members who have had some college or university education. Today, the upermarket manager finds a job more easily if he has had some college education; at an earlier time, even doctors and lawyers could be legitimized through apprenticeship. This transformation of the college man and woman from the rarity to the commonplace is having and will have extraordinary effects upon the society-its cul. tural character, its labor supply and use of resources, its living and recreational preferences, its political opinions, and its levels of aspirations. College students attend about 2100 institutions, about a third of which are under the control of state or local government (about a dozen are controlled by the federal government) and which have two-thirds of the students. There are over 100 institutions attended primatily by Negroes. In 1963, there were 57 technological schools with 133,000 students about as many collegiate schools of art ove; 200 theological schools, and 79 other sepa~at:ely organized professional schools. There are al 0 about 600 junior colleges, mostly publicly controlled. (In 1917-18 there were only 46 junior colleges with ·an enrollment of 4,500 of which 3,600 were in privately controlled ;chools.) A 2 . R. Pace of the University of Californ ia at Los Ang les estimates that about 5 p r c nt of students are in pr stig liberal-arts coli g s uch ~ts Swarthmor , Smith, and R d, 10 per cent in oth r liberal-arts coli g , 5 per c nt in Roman Catholic and other strongly d nomina. tiona! schools, 45 to 50 per cent in univ r . ities and state colleges, 20 p r cent in junior coli g , and 10 to 16 p r cent in other kinds of schools, such a technological institutes. Ther is no formal syst m of Am rican high r education u there is no national system for our el mentary. and secondary-school education. With such an apparently wid rang of provisions, th re should be something for veryon ; each Rtudent should be able to find the educational environment most suitable for developing his capabiJ. ities. To some extent, stud nts do sort lh mlre.lvea according to their images of them lves and of the colleges to which they apply; to orne extent, particularly at the prestigeful private school , the institutions match student characteristics to institutional ones. But, to la.rg extent, selections are mad by aeciden~ of propinquity, pocketbook, and propaganda. Stu· d nts rarely have clear notions about their alternatives. One reason that students do not b ve a. clear ense of alternatives is that our coil g and universiti s, although diverse, tend to round the edges of differ nee and become mote like each other, as David Ri man has astut~y pointed out. Student populations are beeonling more heterogeneous, especially at campu u which are growing, and at the same tim , wheb campuses are compared, the mix at eaefl campu. increasingly re embles that at many other campuses. Ther is a greater range of ineotne and ethnic or religious background on many campuses than ever before. Also, there is a great range of student subcultur s, as Burton Clark and Martin Trow point out. They dil'tingui h among the collegiate tudent:s (who eek fun and games, are loyal to the symbol! of the chool but not its intellectual pur ), the academic (who seek traditional inteJieetu 1 or scholastic goals at the school and rever the school for those quaUties), the consumer-yocational (who ek a degree and thu a JOb opening through higher education), and the nonconformist (who k a variety ot ideaa, stimulation, and creativity at school and who chafe at institutional authority). Memben oJ each of these subculture may be found on almo.t all campuses. although combina ion vary. Distinctions between private and public institutions are being blurred. Public institution~ charge high fees to out..of.state students to satisfy their locally oriented JegislatorE~ and citizen , and then go out of their way to at �neither the elect nor the electorate out-of-stat stud nt8 to ati. fy their more cosmopolitan faculti s. Private institutions may give such xtensive scholarship aid that an able but poor stud nt, particularly from a distant 8ta , can bett r afford to attend an Ivy League school wh re his living exp ns 8 as well as tuition are underwritten than to attend a public univ rsity which is "fre " but wher h would hav to pay various f 8 and living expens s. Private in_stitutions g t a gr at deal of their upport from public money, mainly from the f d raJ gov rnment, whi1 many public instiutions r c iv considerable sums from outside gifts or foundatioJ?s. oil ge and univ r iti 8 t nd to stretch th m lv s out of their arly character: the Joe I campu k students and teach r from I wh r e in the nation and the world; Catholic school hir mor I y teach rs; and all compete for distingui hed profes ors and try to m ke th campu attractiv to the e stars. Like oth r Am ric n nterpri s, many smaller chools re trying to row larger. The small r schools add gradu t programs if they do not already hav them, claiming th t they mu t do so to hold their faculti . To maintain a graduate program, und rgr duate program often must be expand d o that graduate tud nts can be su pport d through teaching undergraduates. To k pup with the acad mic Joneses, colleges and univ r iti dd more and more subdivisions to old r fields and encourag gr ater and greater specializa ion. It is rare college or university which, lthou h it may disclaim vocationalism, d not provide vocational programs. A vo-cationally oriented in titution may k a patina of int 11 ctualism in th arts; one that attracts rious low r-middle-elass students may want to 1 ven the student body with frivolous m mber ; n institution historically loof from local affair may try to be of community service. Even the mo t sober of colleges and univ r ities try to suggest a collegiate im ge (generally compounded with other images, too) in which student life is portrayed as glamorous, relaxed, and frolicsome. Boards of trustees, administrators, and faculti at many institutions note and often emulate the developments at the pace- etting coli ges and universities. Although there may be no formal ystfm to American higher education, th e is a tendency toward the mean and for extreme characteristics to atrophy, resulting in more institutional similarities. Neverthele s, a crude pattern of differentiation persists. For exampl , twelve universities, or about one-twentieth of the number granting at least one doctorate in the ten-year period of 1953-1963, awarded 40 per cent of the total earned doctorates. About half of the remaining universities with doctorate programs graduated an average of fewer than ten per year. The same twelve universities (half of them public, half private) which award the main share of doctorates receive more than a quarter of federal monies going to colleges and universities. Another 5 per cent--about one hundred schools - get almost all the rest of federal research· monies. Endowments are also distributed unevenly. In 1960, all institutions had an endowment fund of $1,645 per student, $517 per student in publicly controlled institutions and an average of only $3,145 in privately controlled ones. This average endowment for private schools would yield a return of about $150 per student per year, suggesting that it is only in a handful of private schools with huge endowments (and annual gifts, too) that students are heavily subsidized through private funds. Four-fifths of the institutions of higher education have under 2,500 students. These schools have only a minority of students, however. Thus, in the seeming diversity of America's colleges and universities, perhaps a tenth of them--some very large and some very smalldominate higher education quantitatively and qualitatively. A much smaller number· set the main tone for the changes which take place. HE STATUS which .came from college attendance has been diluted. The college student is no longer one of the happy few-he is one of the frustrated many. As higher education has become more diffused in the population, it has become, paradoxically, both more and less important to the general public and to the specific people experiencing it. The disillusionment which comes from dilution is not the simple disaffection with the familiar. It is the more complex dissatisfaction which arises out of dependence upon a relationship with little or no control over that relationship. Today's student is neither one of the elect nor part of the electorate. He no longer automatically belongs to a high-status group. by going to college ; too many people are going to college. Today's student cannot afford not to go to college if he has middle-class career aspirations ; college is as nece sary to him as secondary schooling and has not much more standing than secondary schooling had a generation ago. Today's student is not given the privileges attached to the elect, the small group anticipated as leaders, nor have new privileges befitting membership in an electorate evolved. Most colleges are as authoritarian as high schools, and the college student is far less able to influence his relationships with teachers and administrators than he is able to retort and otherwise respond to his parents. Once the youth has made a choice of an institution of higher learn- T 3 �( 4 ing and of a fi ld within it, he ha f w m aningful ~ducational choic s I ft. Students ar on th fringe of the adult world, but not in it. They are in limbo. Many are grateful forth d ferral becau e they can test themselves in diff r nt way and so find their identity. Oth rs ar re entful of the deferral; they ense mor k nly than they did in high chool that tud n d not have inalienable rights or, inde d, many rights at all. There i little in the formal life of the institution that the student can control, qu tion publicly, or about which he can k r dres . Whether the teacher hocks him, or ignores him, or bor s him, or awakens him to new vistas, or patronizes him, or argue with him, or is friendly to him, the student i dep ndent on the teacher's mood and intere t. He is al o bound by the actions of the administrator . Much of the student's extracurricular life--for example, the conduct of tudent re idenc or student activities-is controlled by the in titutional admini tration. If many share the station of having been to college, then mere attendance becomes le significant than marginal di tinction in the college experience. Thus, parents, the general public, and tudents make di tinctions betwe n private institutions and public ones, between liberal arts and profes ional or vocational one , between smaller and larger one , betw en those with pre umed high admission tandard and unselective ones, and among tho with a profes ed character-for example, between the church-dominated school and the metropolitan school, the "grind" college or the "surfer" college, the traditional or the experimental program. Students perceive a pecking order although they may not know it subtleties. They send half of all applications to fewer than 10 per cent of the colleges and univer ities. I assume that the marginal di tinctions made both by the public and by entering college tu- �vants cho en on their knowledge of Hom r. As V bl n lik d to point out, no one could accus sue knowl dge of having direct utility or of being wid ly held. Today, if th r is kudos for the accident of birth, it i mor for tal nt in the gene than for th ilver poon. Also, even the rich tend to go on to graduate school and cannot afford a poor gr de in a difficult s ubject or a record that giv th impr sion of acad mic flightiness. Thus, there is much more purpo efulne than befor in .both the job-oriented undergraduate programs and the liberal-arts programs. The job focus in college, necessary as it may be, dims th ligh of intellectual pleasure which trial. nd-error exploration can provide. When colleg s and universitie were training an elite, it wa easi r in many way for faculty nd admini trator to share their world with stud nts. At Oxford nd Cambridge, Harvard, Yal , and Prine ton, th rewards of teaching includ d th faculty' ense-even if not articulat d- that th ir students were the sons of the famous or were them lve apt to be famous in th future. It is more attractive for teachers to p nd tim with the well-pr pared and potenti Jly powerful than with the mediocre tud nt of humble origins. The professor' frequent pr fer nc is to devote intellectual and leisure en rgi s to colleagues or in orne ca es to men of affair ; he can be motivated to attention toward hi students by a nse of duty, but thi n functions best when duty is reinforced by pleasure. And the pleasure the teacher gets seem to incr ase with the social as w 11 the intellectual standing of his pupils. Thus, it may be expect.ed that, unless compens tory step are taken, the increased democratization of the student body will elicit id olo icaJ enthdsiasm from the faculty but not clo er facuJ y- todent ties. The paradoxes, then, ar.e JT18DY in the shift of higher education from a minority to a majority phenomenon. At the same time that college is more important to youth in the sense of being required as an opening to a career, it is less important in the sense that going to college by itself does not automatically convey high status. At the same time that knowledge about the world is vastly increasing, many students continue to view college as a purposeful path to a vocation rather than as an intellectually enrichening experience. At the same time that students need greater intellectual guidance, and perhaps moral guidance as well, from their teachers because the students are poorly prepared by previous family and school background, teachers are less attracted to spend time with the students beyond the classroom and the office hour. At the same time that there eemingly are many diverse kinds of institutions among which the applicant may choose the one that fits him best, he is constrained from a rich choice by individual circumstances (previous school record, cost, and imperfect knowledge of possible options) and by the tendency of colleges and universities to grow more like one another. These paradoxes are strains superimposed upon the ordinary strains of being young, being away from home for perhaps the first prolonged time, and being from lower- or middle.class origins. (Upper-class youth often has faced some of the unsettling effects of being away from home earlier.) While the student is interacting with adults who \ are less accountable to him than his parents are, his parents, seeing the college experience as pivotal to later success or failure for their child, are often trying their hardest to influence his life. The student may share the parents' view of the college as a ladder to social and economic success, but he also . senses that the college years are his chance to be nonconfo.rmist. The student is peripheral to adult society, confused about sex and his identity, and also bewildered �( 6 in loco parentis . . . by the many course and activity and fri ndship offerings which are available. At a tim when other tudent are jostling him in behavior, intellect, daring, and value , and are competing with him for prominence on campus and distinction in grades, some profes ors regard it as a duty to shock students into qu stioning their beliefs and prejudices. Even tho. who dO not aim to rev al adult hypocri ie shak the ·st,udents' accepted way of looking at th world. In all this turmoil, th tud n finds no unifying institutional symbolic rallying points, no clear adult models; and yet he is njoined to have the b st time of hi life. The student activi m which rupted in 196465 at Berkeley and other chools mu t partially be attributed to the accumulation of tudent strains, particularly those of being part n ither of the elect nor of the electorate, a w II as to specific issues such as those of fr e sp ech. I do not wish to guess whether students will resort again to this kind of activism. I a urn that only a small proportion of tudents on any campus are both seriou ly enough concern d \about the conduct of educational practices, or the content of their course , or the restrictions or requirements placed on student activitie , and casual enough about their care r line to tussle with authority. But the fact remains that whether or not students actively prote t the kipds of patterns they are supposed to fit into on a campus, many of them are di satisfied with these patterns. And they oft n hav rea on to be. What then are the voiced di sati factions of students? Following the prote ts at Berkeley in 1964, some of the mo t articulate tuden focused on problems which merit fre h attention by educators, whether or not student p rsist in pressing for recognition of a tudent interest, rather than an institutional interest. The several problem which follow were prominent among student dis atisfactions at Berkeley; though not central to the main intellectual and political di ati factions of the students, they were clo ely linked with them. NDERGRADUATES MAY JEST about the college and university stance of in loco par ntis as meaning "crazy like parents," but many of them are offended by what they see as a facade of domestic sentimentality hiding bureaucratic regulations. Residential quarters are called "houses," and some have "house mothers" · deans of men and women try to act like olde; brothers and si ter . But the e device do not alter the fact that administrative per onnel enforce a ~ea~ _many rules and regulations in a manner fatmhes do not.

David Boroff point d out th t a 1 t in the 1920's at Am ric n colleg s ther wa not uch a prof sional fostering of the in loco par nti8 role. He id that th tuden ' "infantili m w n't ponsor d by the administration, which th day lays down th ground rule and acts a umpir for the nur ry gam s." Not all students object to the re traint . Some tudents, particularly girl , may be grat ful, for example, for parietal limits et by an outside authority on dormitory hours and vi itors which relieve them from the burden of ying no. Many parents, of cour , requ t intitutional surveillance. They may demand that college regulate student life, especially for girls. Colleges and universities would do well to offer a variety of choices to students. For minors, it might ask the par nts to decide wheth r the school should play th in loco parentu r le or not. Students over twenty-one might m e the choice themselv . But if such a policy were followed, the institution would be well a vised to c ution parents that it cannot hh•ld �down with administration a young person from knowing that some stud nt will flaunt prerogativ s he does not enioy. The univer!\ity can assume r sponsibility for nforcing a curf w for tho e whos parents want them to be in their quarters at a certain tim ; it cannot guarantee that the other stud nts will not carouse all night, setting a "bad example." s than 12 per cent of the niors of eith r sex live in residence halls, although a rq_ajority of th fr shmen live th re. Of all students, graduates and undergraduates, und r 15 per cent live in university resid nee hall (including International Hous ) and about 15 p r c nt liv in fraternities, sororiti s, approved and cooperativ housing. nly p r cent liv at horne with paren (a deer a from almo t 20 per cent ten years arli r) and 5 p r c n live in unjversity apartrn nts for rnarri d tudents. Th remaining 60 p r c nt liv. in private apartments and hou es, or in rooming hou s. Most tud nts choose not to live in universityrun faciliti , and th university choo e not to , upply housing for most students. The goal ha been to hou one-quarter of the single stud nts. The studen complained that the university wa interest d in equalization and standardization of living quarters, and not in m eting their diver e n eds. R idenc halls, they said, are built primarily for ease of maintenance and administration. If they are designed at all for th tudent, they are de igned for one kind of student - the collegiate student who likes to ocialize, who does not want to be bothered bout food ven to the extent of choosing a re taurant to go to, who is willing to share a room, and who is not individualistic in study h bi , creative abilities, or anything else. What they would like is differentiated housing, om very minimal, for those who just want shelter and want a "home" el ewhere in the univer ity at the library, the coffee hop, the laboratory. Other want single rooms, where they can study quietly, and intellectual and cultural facilities uch as a good library and a mu ic room on t}je premi es, and a chance to meet with facultt members. Others seek lowco t hou ing for married tudents, claiming that the e are the students · most at the mercy of a harsh private-housing market, and that the university has a duty to protect its most vulnerable member . Other want faciHties in which they can express themselves, by such means as painting the walls or cooking. The students had complaints about food, lack of a quiet setting for study, curfew regulations, and o on. Many were upset about the lack of ftexjbility on the part of a university which has A T BERKELEY, I 27,000 students but offers a standardized room, a standardized price, a standardized tie-in of room with food, a standardized set of ancillary lounges and facilities. A student who is ready to sacrifice other space in order to maximize private study space does not have the choice available to him; nor does he have other options except those incidental to the fact that some buildings are newer than others. Administrators and some faculty point out that the housing accommodations were provided in the traditional manner under the strain of rapid growth, that students are not compelled to live in university-run facilities (and Berkeley has a great diversity of other clo e-by living arrangements), and that some students are being satisfactorily housed. However, both faculty and administrators are becoming more sensitive to the diverse · housing requirements of students. one of the student dramatizations of complaints was the IBM card on which was printed, "Do not fold, spindle or mutilate," and which was worn as a badge. Students, resenting lines and forms, resenting impersonality and the frictions of a large student body, resenting rules and restrictions, resented the feeling that they were as manipulated and undistinguishable as an IBM card. Objecting to what they regarded as the machine character of universities, the students, like the Luddites in England in ttfe early nineteeqth century, wished to smash the machine. Their message, like the message of the Luddites, had an easy contagion. Also, as in the case of the Luddites, it readily resulted in countermeasures by the larger society which wished to protect its institutions. Part of smashing the machine, to the students, meant casting out those in authority. (Another favorite badge was the button, "Abolish the Regents.':) \ Anti-administration feeling by students is no doubt widespread at many universities and is not confined to those who vocally protest; this feeling is reinforced by faculty criticism which regards administration at best as a necessary evil, at worst as an unnecessary evil. Among epithets I have heard about academic administrators are that they are inept, inefficient paper-pushers or in other words, weak and ineffectual; they are also accused of being autocratic, compromising hypocrites. For some, it may be the very nature of an administr~tor, acting as a distant but substitute parent, that has become unacceptable. To those who feel the generational conflict most ("you can't trust anyone over thirty") the words of Bob Dylan, the folk-singer, have become a theme : "Come mothers and fathers throughout the land, And don't criticize what A T BERKELEY, �attention from teachers . . . 8 ,·ou don't understand.

The civil right movem nt had had the problem of drawing attention to its principles and proposals, and it had learned that ideas are not so much kept from public expre sion as they are drowned by competing ideas in television program , news tories, books, and magazine . Increasingly each Claimant on the public ear seeks to amplify his message. The young p ople who lead the civil rights movement discovered that actions - particularly disobedient ones-are an excellent means to capture the interest of their elders, although not always a sympathetic interest. The protesting students are more sophisticated in their condemnation than in their proposals. For example, orne of them discount the notion that what is public is bureaucratic and what is private is enterprising (the prevalent anti-administration attitude in America) ; they perceive the pernicious effects of bureaucracy even in cultural activities and in activities such as the poverty program, which, to them, conceals its failings behind a cant of welfare slogans. Devoid of a coherent interpretation of the world, protesting students at Berkeley often form a loos~ ~oalition on specific is ues. They say they reject hierarchy within their own organization and they scorn the hierarchy of other organizations. They like to think that each member is totally committed to the cau e. Inside some student groups the democratic ideal of the town ~eeting is revered, although the be- ENT ha n V r amounted to very much in mo t merican coil g and universiti . American high r education in th last c ntury gr w out of gr ft of th Germanic autocratic chol rly tr dition (in which littl provision w made for th nonacademic life of students) and th Engli h r idential pattern (in which' th rul of a comfortabl monastery wer approximat d). N ither pattern was conducive to providing stud n with more than a feeble voic in th atfairs of th university. N verth 1 , mo t Am rican college and univer itie do hav om kind of tudent government, nd, wh r they do not. the student gov rnment may have been voted out of xi tenc by the studen , a h n happening at some Eastern private institution . But it is al o a rare college or univ rsity where tudents do more than hold discu ion forums and publi h a student new paper or magazine. They may m to run economic enterpri uch s book store , but t he , if they are large, are in the hands of a paid staff and are subject to intervention by the admini tration. By and large students h ve little invol ement in student recruitment, curriculum, grading, policies for student-te cher relation including student evaluations of teacher , and campus rules and r gulations. A few coli ge with clearly defined aims of tudent particip tion- Antioch is prime example- have tudents take part in lmost all decisions. At Berkeley the sophi ticated have reg rded tudent government as playful pretenee-their term is "sandbox government"-for they argu TUDENT GOVERN S �sandbox that even though th student government is nominally in charge of as ts worth millions of dollars and its officers have the p rquisites of junior xecutives, including private office university cars, and ecretaries, tudent gov~ rnm nt i for clos d from any actions in area that matt r . It can only rubberstamp admini. tration wish . Other stud nts, particularly pr profes lonal on s, ar not scornful ; they 'limply ar not inter st d in anything outsid th ir own fi ld. The academic students working for high grades begrudge time to student activities. At B rkeley and at m ny other large universitie , it is a rare election in which more than one-quarter of th students vote. It is ev n tr m ndously difficult to find candidates to fill po on tim -eon uming but inter sting a signments such as the judicial committee or th n wspaper, let alone to be poll-watcher . Thos who have n attracted to student governm nt at Berkeley are mainly a mall group of conventional students who are motivat d by personal advancement and a small group of radical stud nts who seek ideological advanc ment. The latter group is not necesarily devoid of ov rton s of personal advancement, but they do stand on a platform. Two major areas that this group at Berkeley wants removed from admlni trative control are the budget (for example, they wish to switch funds from support of the band to the student booktore) and the right of a compulsory student government to take, and make known, stands on off-campus issues such as the war in VietNam. The most extreme proposal for self-government advocated by students at Berkeley was th establishment of the principle of cogobierno. This principle was first exercised at the University of Cordoba in the Argentine, and literally means co-government, wherein stud nts and faculties jointly run the university. The cogobi mo principle dominates Latin American universities where professors are generally p rt-time, the administration is weak, and students are almo t the only fulltime, strongly mclivated group within the university. T.here was almo t no faculty support at Berkeley for this approach, to governing the campus except in the area of student conduct. In the pa t, there was less friction over the role of student government. Those students who were attracted to the essentially innocent ch racter of sandbox government voted and held office; those who found it inconsequential, ignored it. However, becau e of the open dissatisfaction of orne students at Berkeley with the role of student gove~ment, even the more u u l participant in the student government has been prodded to seek a new definition and meaning in student government. At other cam- ' I. government puses, too, various student groups are asking for a greater voice in educational affairs. Though faculty and students may find common cause on other issues, they are likely to be divided on this one. THE wAKE of the Berkeley protest, horror stories were reported about education amid 27,000 fellow students. A senior student for example, claimed he could not get into graduate chool because he could not get letters of recommendation from professors. He had attended only !arge le~ture classes and sections led by teachmg ass1stants. No professor knew him well enough to write a letter of recommendation about him: Some of the more articulate students complained about teaching-assistant education and pressed for small classes, with the Oxfordambridge tutorial system as a goal. They did so in ignorance of the fact that some Oxbridge students are weary of tutors who they claim invade the privacy of their lives under the guise of intellectual intimacy. Many Oxbridge tudents and teachers are dissatisfied with the educational impact of the tutorial also wherein hard-pressed tutors are bored and ~xasper­ ated with individual sessions, and wherein individual tutorials are giving way to group ones anyway. There is no simple answer to class size. Some teachers are at their best when they are lecturing to a large audience. Other teachers do not lecture, they discourse, and need the intimate response of a small group of students. Some students respond best to the stimulus of the large class and the almost anonymous, delayed response in the written examination and paper; others are stimulated by the seminar discussion. There is no sim~le answer, either, to the use and abuse of teaching assistants. The teaching assistant, closest in experience and age to the students, can be more responsive to their needs than the older professor ; under ideal circumstances, the teaching assistant should himself be so recently exposed to the newest findings and undertakings in his field that he would reveal the drama of the frontiers of knowledge, rather t han the dreary wastes of the backwaters. Many of the new discoveries and techniques are not in the older professor's storehouse of knowledge-they are being newly and rapidly created. The young, alert teaching assistant, under ideal circumstances, may be at least as well equipped to convey new ideas and information laterally as the established professor is able to do hierarchially. · In actual situations, teaching assistants are often given more responsibility than they ar~ capable of handling - that is, they are regard- I N �( 10 student grades and the grading of teach rs ... ed as inexpensive and lowly teach rs but suitable enough to make up exams, grad th m, direct student work on research paper , as w II a to hold discu sion me tings. Thus, th y ar overworked and undersup rvis d a. well as underpaid; to top this, they are frequently inexperienced teachers, unmotivat d to do bett r because they are pressed to follow their own stfidies .. Tile ,more I met with discontented students, the more I realized that they were not so much objecting to instruction by teaching a i tants, or to the large size of clas es. They w r objecting to being neglected. This was true for graduates as well as undergraduates. Some f It that the teachers were devoting their main energies to research, to outside commitm nts, to committee work, to their familia , rather than to the classroom. Others felt neglected intellectually out of class; they did not have an opportunity to discuss the new ideas that were troubling them (which might, incidentally, be old ideas to their professor ) . Other felt neglected socially - they felt that they never got to know tileit teachers as persons and were not known as person to their teacher . Intere tingly enough, many of the e students object to intercollegiate athletics and yet they were seeking the kinds of ties coaches and athletes so often have with each other. · lt became fashionable at Berkeley for students to blame teacher neglect on the pressur on· faculty to publish. They urged that "good" teachers be given tenure despite lack of publications, forgetting that a teacher who did not contribute to the development of his field would often have little to say in five or ten year , l t alone twenty. They also blurred the designation "good"; for example, students who get high grades frequently choose different "good" teachers than students who get low grade . And the students failed to recognize that the imp ct a teacher makes may not be directly related to how well and widely liked he may be. There have been great physics profes rs, for example, who have been ignored by all but a handful of students, but those few students went on to become the great physicists of the next generation. Many of the proposals to get teacher closer to students on American campuses have a somewhat defensive tone, as though faculty had to be led to do their duty. We might as well recognize that faculty have many pulls way from their students, but that they also have many pulls toward them or they would not h ve become teachers. The problem is how to appeal to t hese latter kinds of pulls in strengthening faculty-student ties. For example, professors often do not enjoy going to student living quarters for purely recr ational purpo ; th y may f 1 ill-at as , ju. t as a tud nt f Is ill-at s going to th offic hour of a prof s r without a s ific qu stion. ombining social nd int llectu I activities c n be v ry fruitful.

HE STUDENTS at Berkel y who complain d T the loud t about the indignities of studen~ being grad d w r th strong t advocate of sch m s in which teach rs would be graded by stud nts. Studen objected to such bu of grading as th inequ litie which spring from th different attitudes of various te ch rs tow rd grading ( orne sy, some hard; som with an absolute tandard, others marking on curVi ; orne capricious, others too rigid). Studen are irked by a sy tern which uate an A in quantum phy ics with an A in a J complex subject. They resent knowing that t in titutions with lower academic standards, tuden can get high grades with leu effort than at an institution with more exalted academic atandards.

However, the faculty mor often grading as a neces ary evil and some compensatory advantages, which th tuden do not acknow] dge. Profesor say that tud nta are highly competitive nd de pite th ir complaints wish to be gauged. D fend r of grades point out that no matter how th y may vary from cours to course or intructor to instructor they do have a logic. Moreov r, grades and the examinations, labor tory work, and papers on. which the grades are ba d are teaching instruments which help tud nts organize material, grasp the central character of a couts , and otherwise prod stun to do what ttiey might put off doing, even though their intentions are good. Grades serve both a carrot and a stick in 'the educational proc , and many professors feel both are Oece88ary. The student clamor for the gradirag of teachis a bid for better teaching - the students I that no one knows better than they who a good teacher and who is not, and that noelae much cares. They point to the failof faeulti to weed out poor teachers, to ~·-llll!a good teaching, and even to check on teaching abilities. The students resent the fact that publication is the prime guide to hiring and retention practices. The faculty's usual retort to this student complaint is that students are incapable of making competent judgments of teachers. They are deemed incapable because they are immature and laymen in contrast to the teacher's expertise. They are also deemed incapable becau e of their own highly involved relationship to teachers--students are biased in diverse ways, orne wanting to be intellectually spoon-fed, some-wanting to be entertained, some wanting political daring, some wanting an easy course. Teachers do not want to cater to student whims or pressures any more than they wish to cater to the whims or pressures of alumni or other groups who feel they have a claim to judge the content of courses or the quality of teaching. Unfortunately, teachers, like many other profe sionals, have acqtJired a number of protective devices which jshield thent from direct evaluation of part of their professional per-· formance. Judgment of publications and departmental, institutional, or community service is done by a faculty member's peers and by the academic hierarchy, but no one inspects classroom activities. This circumstance is exacerbated by the lack of clear definitions of the values and goals of higher education; without such clarity it is extremely difficult for anyone, including fellow members of the teaching guild, to fashion standards of judgment on teaching quality. in the wake of the protesta at Berkeley are part of the rhetoric of university reform. Most of these issues were already part of the rhetoric of reform on HE ISSUES CHURNED T II �( the years ahead ,r 12 l various campuses around the country and were used afterwards at Berkeley to justify, and , even more, to supplement the free-sp ech protest. I have not focused on the protest th mselves, and I hall not try to forecast wh th r or not there will be further dramatic confrontation of authority at Berkeley or at other universities or colleges. I do caution again t any glib labeling of thi generation of students as vocal, committed, moral, or rebellious. I agree with Professor Joseph Katz, who commented, after concluding a five-year study of students at the University of alifornia and Stanford University, that "in spite of rec nt student activism, the primary need is still to wake up students, not to constrain them. Th y rank highest their own individual careers and future family life. Involvement in international, nat\onal or civic affairs and helping other people are ranked a tonishingly low." But the issues I have raised - and others as well ~ merit scrutiny and action by univer ity facultie and administrators. The rights and responsibilities of students must be work d out afresh in light of the new mas base of students. Among the specific question to be reviewed are the nature of due proce s in di ciplinary action against students, what types of off-campus behavior might result in academic penalties, the kinds of contractual relations students have with an institution . Ther is a growing set of legal cases helping to define student rights on campus. Colleges and universiUes ought not, however, to wait for the courts. The great questions are not so much legal ones as intellectual and moral ones which students, faculty, and administrators should not evade. There are many ways of coping with the particular issues rai ed in this paper. Not all student complaints are justified; even justifi d complaints cannot always be rectified. But the students ought to be essential and welcome partners of a joint endeavor and not a passive and silent part of an educational equation. In government, in industry, and in universities. we have an importapt tendency to believe that a change in policy require an aU-or-none approach rather than a trial or partial approach. For example, on grading, students might be permitted to take a few courses outside their major field, without grades, a at Princeton, or new approaches to grading might be tried out with small groups of tudents. After some experience the new procedure should be kept, discar ded, or extended. Why should the grading pattern not be evaluated, if only for the faculty's and admini tration's enlightenment? (When we made an audit of grades over several years at Berkeley, we were surprised to learn, for example, that one department gave 48 per cent "A's" to freshmen and sophomores while anoth r gav only 8 per c nt.) I hav ugg st d that tud nt-faculty ties might be furth r d through various m ans. tud ntt~ and teach rs could m t informally and a a ca ual xt nsion of th ir shared int II ctual lif at workpla e lounges rath r than mor awkw rdly at an arrang d t a or oth r ocial v nt. Also, faculty and tud nts could jointly particip t in n w and relatively small ducational v ntur , ach imbu d with th nthusiasm of sharing fr sh ducatfonal paths. But th r ar oth r ways, including tasks for th community, in which th id alism of both th young and th old may be join d o practical advanta~ . Stud nts cannot be r gard d as identical and b fitt d into iden ic 1 living accommodations any more than th y can be fitt d into id ntical intell tu l exp ri nces. Diff r nt 11tud nt subcultur hav diff r nt v lu s th y wish to achiev in housing, and, as far a po ibl , th univ rsity ought to accommodat th ir d sir s. om stud nts may tol r te or ven appreciatP the traditional univ rsity rol of in loco par ntitf ; some parents may insist upon it. Oth r parn may not demand it, and s m studen may r ject it. I think the time has come for om coll ges and universiti s to r linquish much of their i n loco parentitf rol . On of the most remarkabl characteristics of Americ is its open-end dn ss and its willingn ss to adapt to changing circumstanc s. W have don this in education, particularly in expanding educational opportunities to vast number , in a way not even hoped for in oth r countries in the world. Ther is, however, a po ibility that, mor and more p ople go on to education beyond high school, th offerings provid d 11tud nts will not reflec the different inter sts among them. We cater to majority taste and choic in mo t fi Ids, only reluctantly recognizing that minority tastes in films, in cars, in mu ic, in food may repr sent very large groups. (An Am .rican minority may be larger than th population of France.) It is not urprising that we ea er largely to m jority tastes in high r education as welL Y t, if th number of stud nts in higher ducation increas as rapidly as w expect, in about fifte n years the pre nt number of students may be only half the total. With such va t numbers of college nd university students, minority interes of student subcultur could flU many campuse . One of the prerequi8ites for high quality will be the provision of more educational diver ity for th minority inter ts. No doubt many colleges and unive iti will grow larger and many new in titutiotut will be founded. As the number of college students ri , we muat expect tremendoua &Towth pains. �a new academic ethos. We shall al~o have an extraordinary opportunit v to cons rve the most valuable aspects of pres- e.nt American education and to change, renew. nnd improv the rest. AR new schools are founded, we shall, if we ex rt our options, be able to develop them with new educational philosophies, or with known ones, newly clarified. We have shown relatively little innovation in recent years either in the encfR or in the means of higher education. A few small liberal-arts coiJeges, such as St. .Joh n'11 or Antioch, continue to be our sports. N w schooiR such as Hampshire College, which prefaced its founding by asserting that it was concerned primarily with new means rather than endR in education, may help revitalize the thinking about how new schools can create a 11p cia] character. I do not deplore the r ca ting which i taking place within each campus : the r ligious school which is growing fllOre secular, the liberal-arts . chool which is ailding graduate and profesAional programs, the technological institute which is ·setting up humanities and social science wings. However, there is a danger that the student will find a sameness about educational institutions, that hey may become as bland and uninspired a turnpike re~taurant11, cl an and whoJegome though the food may be. Instead, internal diversification, particularly at larg in titutions, can provide the · tudent with clear s ts of educational choices so that he multiplies rather than reduces his possibilities for self-reaUzation. Not only could the atuden1 choo e among institutions with different educational patterns and, for that matter, different mixes of student subcultures, but he could have the opportunity for important choices within the institution a well. Thus, at a large university such as Berkeley, an undergraduate should be able to choose, as I have urged, among a St. John's at B~rkeley, an Antioch at Berkeley, nnd many other options. I pr diet that many if not most of the new colleges and universities will be in or near big urban centers. The rural bias of Ameri.ean culture during the periods in which the early ehools and later the land-grant institution.q were founded is gone. America is now largely urban in population and focus, and it is the country ide that has become a nice place to visit but not to live in. Urban areas provide the t, the music, the. theater, the cultural and recreational excitement which more and more Americ ns seek and which f\tudents and faculty wish to be near. Urban areas are also the locus, the laboratory, !or many o~ the problems people at ?niversitie want to study. I recall the facebo~s omrnent Of, a Yale president that Harvard IS o outatanding because it · is• in a miserable metropolitan area and thus has more delinquency for its sociologists to study, more crime for its lawyers, more disease for its medical Rtudents. If new institutions locate in urban areas, they will not be required to install a full set of residential, eating, and social facilities and services. These can be obtained, at least in part, from the existing provisions in cities and suburbs. I make this point less because of the financial savings that may be involved and more because I believe a larger proportion of students will not want colleges and universities to interfere with their personal lives. Residence halls will not atrophy. They will be attractive to some students, especiaJly if the halls are subsidized. And some schools wUI probably make new attempts to integrate teaching facilities into residence arrangements. (Extensive programs of this kind are expensive, however. For example, Harvard's undergraduate houses probably have a current replacement value of $35,000 per student.) But if urban universities do not have to depend upon building residential quarters for all their students, then some students will be freed from the restrictions that go along with university-run quarters and many urban students will be able to . attend these schools who could not afford the expense of living away from home in supervised or unsupervised quarters. If colleges and universities seek the cosmopolitan attributes of a metropolitan location, they will also contribute to the cosmopolitan character of the community in which they locate. The life of the city and of.the university will be reciprocally enriched. Some tension .between the community and the unjversity is, of course, also inevitable, and this ·tension is not confined to ideas. Most of all, as the college population grows, the schools get larger, and many of them, as I suggest, start in or near metropolitan areas, the problem will be to remember that faculty and administrators should be there more for the benefit of the stuc,!ents rather than the other way around. A new partnership hopefully will emerge in which students and teachers will pursue broad intellectual questions as well as specialized academic and professional ones. This new kind of academic community can best be achieved in an atmosphere where diverse opportunities for t~dents flourish. A new academic ethos of diversity and yet community will require far more spontaneity in organization than educational institutions commonly have exhibited. This article is reprinted from Robert A.

IKE THE MAN who came to dinner and stay d for br akfast, noted author-eritic Leslie Fiedler becam a visiting professor of English at the University for a Summ r ssion in 1964 and has been here ever inee. He thinks the " wid -open" English Department is "one of the three or four best in the country." His words, quoted in Tltt Ntw York Tin1ts on Jun& 6 of this year, ring truer today if only becaus he and fellow d partment 'member John Barth have produced two major works of contemporary literature. Both. efforts have received attention from all corners of the literary scene. Fi dler's publisher, unlike Saturilay Review'& Samuel I. Bellman (July 30). believes that the author has probably written his best fictional work to date. Bellman, on the other hand, sugg sts that twothirds of the book is "possibly the worst fiction he has ever made up" and that Fiedler's approach should receive a "No! in thunder" treatment-a word-play on the title of Fi4'dler's di tinguished 1960 es ay collection. Local reviewer Charles A. Brady, though, said " . . . Yes! in thunder" (Buffalo Evt11ing ewa, August 6). Barth received his accolades in Thl' .,... ew York Timu Book Revuw ,..._..,. r L lb ._.....

They usually write in En llah or French, not their native tongue•; although t hey poignantly evoke the •imple villare lit of a byron era, they ar men of co mopolitan background and inter ata, writing larrely for Weatern audienc s. Th authon fulfill many rolea, aa analyata of the put, propheta of the future, and critic• of the preaent. Chinua Acbebe1a ftr1t novel Uluatrate• a theme common In writIng• of tropical Afriea: the repercuaaion• of W tern conquest upon long..•tanding belJefa and pattema S OCIAL UPHEAVAL of life. In Thing• Fall Apart (London : Heinemann, 1958), Achebe recreate• village life of Eaatern NiR"eria nearly a century ago, when "pacification" by British troops and proaelytization by Chriatian missionariel! were juat beginning. The main figure of the novel ia puraued by an ominous daemon to hia tragic llelfdutruction. Proud, hardworking, concerned with his rank in traditional society, Okonkwo faila to comprebend the sweeping changes occurring within his village. He returns there after aeven years exile to find that Christianity has subverted the society be loved-eliminating old statua ranks, destroying religious practicea, making auperftuou• what Okonkwo knew and cherished. He decidea to resiat the Inevitable, but hia futile geature11 lead only to dia. lt'race and auicide. Traditional village life also figures prominently in Camara Laye's TA~ Dark Chfld (London : Collins, 1965, a translation of L'enfant noir). The Da.rk Cltild is probably the ftneat major work written by an African. It Ia autobiography of the molt aensltive sort. It i• emotion reeollected and recreated with artlatic aimplleity, written while Laye worked in a French automobile factory far from hia native Guinea. The Dark Chilli ia nostalgic (though not aentimental) evocation of the ceremoniea and simple j oys of traditional life. But tradition Ia rapidly disappearing. Aa Laye noted, "Yes, the world rolla on and changea. I, too, had my totem, but I no longer remembeY what it waa." Hia roota in Malinki aoeiety were broken-to his pertonal lou, but to the gain of literature. Laye'a aeeond book, The Radiancll of tM King (London : Collina, 1966, originally Le rllga.rd du roi), iJ (like hi11 autobiog-raphy ) aet largely in upper Guinea. The atyle o! writing dllfera dramatically, however. Inatead of noatalgla, there la symbolism; instead at aimplicity, there i11 complexity and allegory. Laye ret'ounta the odyuey of Clarence (an impecunious white man atranded in Africa) to flnd the " King." The pilgrimage haa bizarre epillodea-Clarence'a "trial" and eacape, In a faahion reminiJCen't of Kalk.a ; hia wandering through the tropical foreat, whoae odors make him droway and unaware of the role of cuckold into whieh ·be ia thrust ; hi.a encounter university r~ader • a with a grizzled African ,beggar who becomes hi s guide. Wbo is the " King," by whom the naked Clarence ia finally welcomed 1 The allegory admits of many interpretations ; the " King" may be redemption, merit, self-understanding, .the equality of humanity, or perhapa the ultimate mystery of life (aa one of the major cbaractera aays, "there are no wo rds to expresa what the king ia"). Whatever interpretation one may olfer, T hll Ra.diil1Ulll of the King is one of the 1\nest modern examples of symbolic fiction, given unique depth by the .author's background. For both ironic amuaement and tren.e hant commentary, I recommend Mongo Beti, Le pa.u11r11 Chmt de Bomba. (Paris: La.lfont, 1968). The " poor Chri'st" Ia a French miaalonary, whose 20 yean in Africa aeem only to have blinded him to an awarenesl of what happened around him. Hla minion auistanta do not educate young girls preparing for marriage, but aeduce them; his cate· cblsta give little heed to Christian precepts, but quickly become corrupt. The story ia told through the diary of an innocent young convert, wboae guileleuneaa contrast. with both the blind uivllU of Pere Drumont and the open exploitation of Drumont by more worldly-wiae Afrlcana. The final author, Leopold Sedar Sengbor, is an outatanding example of cultural symbiosis. An ogr~ge de grammaire, fo-rmer member of the French National Asaembly, gram. marian of the 1946 cons~itution, exprofessor of French literature, a humaniatic philo.Opher, and President of Senegal, Senghor ia also ·one of the finest poetic . craftamen in the French language.

Proof of their ef. forts is a continuing exhibit of student graphics, displayed on the studio walls. Guiding them in their work arc designer-instructors Sheldon Berlyo, Donald Nichols, and Joseph Reardon , who teach the illustration, editorial and advertising design-procedure, and techniques for reproduction cour~s which form the core of the graphics program. Art faculty Donald 1\lum· berg, Charles Gill, and John w.\ McIvor offer related cour~s in photography, painting, and prim-making. Performance is judged according to professional standards. Mr. Nichols, for example, regularly assigns speed exerc~. requiring his students tO submit completed designs - for a letterhead or trademark or direct mailing - within as little as ten or 15 minutes. Not particularly popular with the stu· dents, the exercises "are good for them," says Mr. Nichols, whose experience as a free-lance designer and graphics consultant has caught him the necessity of speed in this jet-age field. 1 I Eventually, the long hours in the studio pay off. For three consecutive years, University at Buffalo entries have won honors in the Sr. Regis Paper Company's annual three-dimensional package design contest, a national competition among more than 1,000 art students from 200 instirurions. Many graduates of the program have made successful careers of communication - in television, magazine and newspaper graphics, movie and television animation, priming and packaging design, architectural graphics, technical and book illustration. Currently, 14 young alumni are working in the field in New York City alone. The students who~ work is reproduced here have already learned the ~et of the successful communication designer - in Mr. Reardon's words, "to convey to others through images, type, color and symbols, a message PWM a visual statement." �AJvenmn,l! layout by Jo~ph iackenna _ ---- ___ - _,.____ . ... ................. ..,...._................ _.,_ ............... .............. --.,-.-.................... , .............,..,.._ _..__ .___ -...- .......... _........................ _..,.,.._,.._.,......._. -~ T rav~l ~· poster design by Steven Carver Point-of -purchase dest,l(n by Nancy L.

BASP.MI!NT of Hayes Hall , th~ Univ~rsiry is taking a long, hard look at itself. Recording and analyz10g what it sc:es is th~ Offie~ of lrurirurional Research, t~ administrative division charg~ with the difficult task of srudying the UniverSity-as-a-whole. The University's need for systematiC self-srudy was recognized in 1962 by Qisringuish~ Servic~ Profmor of Higher Education G. Lester .Anderson, who formulae~ t~ Office of lnstiruuonal Research while serving as vice president for ~ucarionaJ a1Jairs. When Dr. Anderson retir~ from the pc»t in 196 ~, his brain-child became autonomous and he was nam~ its acting director. Because institutional research is a fairly recent and "tentative" field, the Office pursues a largely self-determi~ program of intra-University studies. As Assistant Director Walter C. Hobbs explains it, "lnsrirutional researchers haven't yet determined whether they should be innovators or planners or policy-implementors or evaluators or simply collectors of data." In the absence of a consensus, the Office is willing to explore any University at Buffalo phenomenon from "cannibe.lism ro facuJty loads." Mr. Hobbs specifies the function of his department less colorfully in a memo reccntfy sent to all University administrators and facuJty senators. In it, ~ list~ as the bW'Cllu·~ primary ROM goal: "ro conduct such srudies at the University-wide level, not presently falling wirhi n the manifest purview of other University offices, as are requi r~ by administrative and faculty bodies for purposes of making inform~ judgments and rational decisions concerning daily and longrange operations of the University." 'We are primarily concern~ with the social and organ izational dimensions of higher ~ucation at Buffalo," he adds. At other universities, similar bureaus deal with the physical and financial aspecu of the institution space utilization and cost analysis, for example - areas explor~ here by departments other than Institutional Research. "Our bailiwick is in the area of the social rather than engineering sciences." In an institution as complex as an expanding university, however, these areas often overlap. Currently, the Office bas comm irr~ itself to tackling a problem puzzling the University's engineers as well as irs social scientistS - the problem of information Bow. 3 Again in the words of Mr. Hobbs' memorandum, an important secondary goal of Institutional Research is "to seek ways and means, and co implement same, of establishing proc~ures for the collection of uniformly phr~ instirurional dara, consistent with the oe~s of all University data-users." Toward this end, Mr. Hobbs is serving on an interdepartmental committee exploring the uses of the elaborate, compurer~ University information system propo~ in the academic master plan. When necessary, IR sta1f members go off-campus to place University affairs in perspective. Research .Associate Dr. Pauline F. Hunter, for example, has prepar~ a monograph on policymaking processes within the University of Galifornia which has obvious implications for any major unit in a state university system. Similarly, when new campus buildings first enter~ the planning phase, our instirutional researchers quickly survey~ the utilization of semi-high rise buildings on ot~r American campuses. In addition to its continuing involvement in the future of the University, the department ,keeps a dose watch on the University of today. In selecting current research problems, IR staH members are often able to indulge their special interestS. Mr. Hobbs, for example, a lecturer in soc.ioJosy, is try· ing to determine bow graduate stu· dents at Buffalo 6naoce their research, �a study which might eventually be uu lized in the formulation of finanCial aid pol~~Occasionally. the Othce 1s called upon ro conducr research ro meet a specific administrative need or is asked ro support research of an 1nsrirutional nature being carried on by a fa culty member.

Currently, it is advising a resear h effort of rhe Un1versir Food ervice, undertaken by sraff d1e · ri cian Kathenne Taylor. Utilization of irs findings about rhe Univer iry is the rauonale of lnsmu rional Research. "Es enually. we deal 1n 'appl1ed' rather rhan 'basic' 10vest1 · gation," Hobbs readily admns .

This hool is a manifestation of the concept of rora.l health care, of team action, of hea.lth professionals ( coJ. leagues ) representing many dtsci· plines, focusing their coiJective slcills and knowledge on a ingle patient. The School of Health Related Professions joins rhe Schools of Ikruisay, Medicine, Nursing and Pharnu.cy as the newest unit of the Univenity's Health Sciences Center. The uoderly· ing philosophy in the establishment of the Cenrer is the same as that of the School - a "colleague" appr ch to toea! health care. Formally est•blished in October. 1965, the School of Health Related Professions has u its three "charter" departments, Medial Technology, Oc· cupational Therapy and Physicsl Tber· apy. Each of the three departments HE TITLE lragt~t, �Health Care.· A had previously been a program adminJSCered 1n the School o f Medicine . A look 1nro rhe future indicates thar rhe rhree presenr departmenrs will be JOined by a number of ochers in the commg years. A realistic appraisal o f the current t rtSIS m this nation's health manpower ta nnor overlook rhe Importance of rhe health rdared professions. In 1965, physiCians, denrisrs and nur~s com pnsed only one-third of the 2,500,000 people employed in the healrh fields . Srudies of parienr care indicate that more than 60 differenr skills, representing many different levels of education , are broughr into play in rhe care o f a single hospitalized patient . Many of rho~ skills must be taught ar the university lev el, while others are more suitable ro - junior college or rcammg" programs. The School of Health Related Professions will be inBuential on all of the~ levels by offer- ~Colleague' Approach ing the universiry experience which will prepare both pracririoners and reachers of th~ essential skills . In rhe School of Health Related Professions we look forward to the furure developmenr of the Health Sciences Center, with its Universiry Hospiral , for rhe realization of our full potential. Our funcrion in rhe Universiry H ospiral and our relationships wirh other segments of the Universiry ar Buifalo, and SUNY srarewide, were recognized when spelling out our four major funcrions in the proposal for establishing rhe School : • I. The School will provide academIC integrity, as well as administrative and fiscal security, ro chose health related educarional programs for which rhe University Health Sciences Center already has primary responsibility. It will also provide the avenue whereby rhe faculry member _in charge of any specific program will, by virtue of his position, also be in charge of the corresponding ~rvice function in the University Hospital. 2. With respect to professional programs related to health which are 5 conducted in other secrors of the University, rhe School will provide a means for the clinical arms of such programs tO obrain maximal utilization of rhe clinical facilities available at rhe University Hospital. 3. With respecr tO professional programs relared to health which are conducted in orher units of Stare University of New York, the School will provide a clinical complement to rhe academic operations conducted in such unirs, rhereby allowing for a rounded roral educational program. 4. The School will provide a suirable locus for the iniriarion of such other health related programs as may be found desirable and necessary, in the fucure. In addition to the three types of personnel being educated in rhe School of Health Related Professions, the University ar Buffalo now grants degrees to persons destined to become part of the total health care team. Speech and hearing therapy, dinkal psychology, rehabilitation counseling, and medical social work are excellent examples.

The future will see new programs develop on borh the undergraduate and graduate levels. Some of these will represent special· ties yet ro be aiscovered . Programs in health technology now developing in the community colleges are creating needs for reaching personnel and arc pointing out the need for new levels of clinical experiences. Our School and the University Hospital will play an important statewide role in these areas. Community agencies and affiliated hospitals will continue to play an important role in the education and clinical experience of our students, as they do now in our present programs of medical technology, occupational therapy and physical therapy.

At chis point of our development, it is difficult to predicr the numbers of students or faculty who will be a part of this School in fururc years. At the time of the establishment of the Schoo~ a total of 305 students were registered; and 44 professors and instrucrors, located both on campus and in affiliated institutions, comprised the faculty. The T 611 Ye• Ac:lllihmie Pkm calls for a 50 per cent increue in the enrollments of the three present programs. The possibilities for new programs arc almost overwhelming. Medical records librarians, hospital and health care administn.ton, x-ray teChnologists, dental assistants, dispensins opticians and public health specialists in a number of areas are just a few of the health personnel in short supply. In addition ro new programs to be offered on the baccalaureate level, the 6 Th• p.llf>l#gic /_,., to w.llt ...J tlitd • .,;, Wfth th• h•IP of IH..c11.

All of chis is certain ro swell the tu· dent body and will call for a large and diversified faculty group. The expected influx of lower dinsian students into these programs will have its influence in other Schools, both in and outside the Health Sciences Center . The major ponioo of d~ first rwo yean in any of the health ~laced programs will be talren in Jeoetal course worlc. We will be iocreasinsfy dependent upon rhc buic Jcience departments for the important cou.rscs forming the foundation upon bkh later slcills are caught. We tee no need for cooam about attractiJl8 students to the health rdated prof ioos.

The ttming of the establishment of rhe School of Health Related Professtons during a crucial period in the planning of both the Health Sciences Center and the North Campus places u in an enviable position locally and nationally . We will be able to rake advantage of sound planning methods; plan along with other schools and departments with which we must have a cooperative, and often interdependent, relationship; and add our voice and ideas to the planning of the hospital facilities which will be our teaching laboratory.

By State standards, Umversiry facilities are currently being urilized at a facror of II 0 per cenr. In Mr. Doemland 's words, the only remaming direct~n for the University ro go is off-cam~s. At present, the University leases about 50,000 square feet of office space m nine locations near the campus and m downtown Buffalo. Bur a glance at projected growth reveals the inadequacy of current off-campus leasing. By the Fall of this year, fuU-rime enrollment will pass the 11 ,888 mark, an increase of more than six per cent over 1965-66 figures . This expanding srudent body will require 228 addi tional faculty with a projected increase of 4 70 staff personnel. In light of these statistics and others, Planning and Development estimates char the UniverSity will require about 100,000 square feet of off-campus space each year until occupation of the Amherst campus . As formulated by Mr. Doemland and his staff, the interim campus plan ts an arrracrive alternative to increased scattering of University facilities ; 1 throughout the City . It would, the University planner emphasized, conSISt of relAted fa cilities concemrared on a single site near the new campus. And it would serve a dual purpose relieving pressure on the near-bursting Main Srreer cam pus and allowing expansion of several departments particularly in need of room to grow. four criteria have guided the Planning and I:Xvelopment Office in choosing an appropriate sire. They are : 9 proximity to the new campus; ultimate area potential at least 300,000 square feet are desired ; acceptable rental, and ultimate utilization of the sire. h is this final requirement that rouches upon the unique dimension of the University's interim campus idea : irs commitment ro the public interest. Since the University will be a five-year tenant and nor a permanent one, the 17 interim campus buildings will be constructed with re-use factors in mind . "We don't want any buildings standing empty," Mr. Doemland assured the Amherst Town Board on April 9. To avoid this, only the interior partitioning of structures raised on the interim campus will be tailormade to University specifications when vacated, they will be convened easily into commercial offices or fac ilities for light industry. The University planners have stressed the conversion factor in negotiating with potential developers. '" We have been insistent,'" Mr. Doemland reponed , '" that developers have some realistic plan for the ultimate use of the buildings. We don 't wam them tO degenerate into an unrentable slum bordering the University campus." ( Far-sightedness like this has characterized the Office's transitional buildmg program at all stages - even the Main Street temporary strucrures to be occupied this Summer will be 60 per cent reusable as contract research faciii ties for the Amherst campus.) At Colleague deadline the Planning and Development office had not yet announced a location for the University's transitional facil ity. Bur with the squeeze on the Main Street campus growing ever more critical and the Office announcing its intention to complete the first phase of rhe move by January 1, 1967, ther: see~ little doubt that rhe proposed mrenm campus will soon be an accomplished face.

In add 11 10n ~o hts dur1es ar rhe Cen ter . Dr Barnette reaches and coordin ates rhe mrroducrory psychology course •n rhc day division . H e explairu rhat a lor of effort goes inro planning the tOu rsework st mply because it inrroduces srudenrs ro rhe field . Some of rhc nudents arc surpr ised to find thar psychology IS scientifically and technically . orienred , he says. "They sign up rhtnking that rhey will be able to solve emmional pro blems or to psychoa nal yze rhe people rhey meet." Dcsp ~te rhe iniri allerdown , however, many srudenrs choose psychology as their maJor srudy each year - probably because of Dr . Barnette 's "tailoring. " Ll!ROY, N . Y ., Dr. Barnerrc received his bachelor's and master's degrees from the Un ivers ity ar Buffalo . From rhen on , he became a "u av' lin"' man, rcruming to rhe Univcrstty 14 years later ( 1950 ) as an ass istanr professor . This, he says, was h1s personal "homecoming... During rhe Interim , he taught at Pace College, served four years with rhe U .S. Army during World WRI II , and earned his doctorate ar N .Y.U . where he was a1so an msrrucror. lr was dur ing his service wi1h the armed forces rhat he traversed rhc globe from San Antonio ro Ceylon ro Singapore. "'ibile in T ex.as, he did research for rhe Army Air Force on pilor, bombardier and navi~aror aprirudes. Later, he was pan of a project involved in counseling early returnees ( psychoneuroric dischargees) at bases in Virginia and Maryland. Next arne the preliminary step ro what was to B ORN IN become a s1gntficanr parr of his life he became a member of the Far Easr Plannmg Sraff of Washingron, D.C. 's Office of Srraregrc Services ( OSS ), rhe precu rsor of rhe CIA . Afrcr s1x months, he was assigned ro Kand y, eylon, as an assistant operatiOnal plannmg offi cer . During this ume , Dr . Carleron Scofield, former head of the UB Psychology Depart ment , was h1s boss. Based in Ceylon and Singapore during his final year of serv1 ce ( 194 5-461, Dr. Barnerre was promored to chief of the Research and Analysis Branch of OSS for rhe India Burma Theatre. This was a "cloak and dagger" type operation concerned with the trainmg of agems to infiltrate behind enemy lines to sabotage, spread rumors and relay intelligence reporrs via clandestine radio. Dr. Barnette was in charge of some of this intelligence reporting and of the research operatioru involved in the maintenance of these agents. His travels through India, Burma, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaya provided the beginning of his interest in the Far East and irupired him ro apply for and accept a Fulbright Award in 1952 as visiting professor at the Cen tral lrutiture of Education in Delhi, India . He was awarded anorher in 1964 ro assist the U .S. Educational Foundation, India, in establishing an advisement, testing and evaluation cen ter for srudents planning ro come to America for graduate work under the Foundation's sponsorship . It isn'r jusr the easrerly part of the Old World that interests Dr. Barnette, but Europe as well . He has promised himself that he will travel to Europe at least every two years and so far has been successful ar it. Through ir all, he has remained a bachelor. Being single entitles hill'\ ro have the run of the kirchen all to himself, although he often dines in restaurants offering exquisite cuisine. His penchant for fine food and drink is also satisfied through membership in Buffalo's Food and Wine Society plus many sma1l, private dinner parties. The gourmet-professor stocks a respectable wine celbr almost entirely containing French vintages and lists veal as one of his favorite meats. Another of Dr. Barnette's "tastes" is dassica1 music. "I can't conceive of 11 a whole man who doesn 't enjoy music," says rhe one -time piano student. "It's one of the most sign ificant pans of the whole culr\Jre and education of man ," he adds . A strong supporrer of music in the Buffalo area, he is a mem ber of the Board of Directors of three musical organizations: the Buffalo Chamber Music Society, rhe Community Music School, and Young Audi ences, Inc. The latter is designed ro introduce grammar school children to classical music by bringing chamber music groups into the schools to perform. The project has been most successful, according ro Dr. Barnette. The cosmopolitan professor also has deep interests in abstract art and the theatre. He is a member of six professional organizatioru and is on the Board of Direcrors of the area's Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. A of many arricles in professional journals, Dr. Barnette will stay pur this Summer ro revise his book, READINGS IN PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS, a notice of which appeared in rhe October issue of the Colleague . He will also begin ro complete a longitudinal study of occupational choices of vocational high school boys which began in 1961 under a grant from the U.S. Office of Education . He received a supplemental gram to complete the srudy from the Uni versiry's Graduate School and will be assisted by lnsrruaor Harvey Silver. Very enthusiastic about the projecr, Dr. Barnette notes that it is rare, indeed, ro srudy a group of students from their freshman to senior years. Further noting that vocational high schools are no longer considered "dumping grounds," he foresees his srudy ro be of significant use to high school counselors. When the "whole ball of wax " on Dr. Barnette's life is rolled up and studied, there emerges an underlying hint as to why he doesn't take a more positive approach toward exrra-sensory perception. With his feet on the ground, and his eyes, ears, nose and taste buds inextricably wrapped in culrura1, professional, and culinary pursuitS, there doesn't seem to be any room in his life for a sixth sense.

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

Although several other County building.~ were in existence at the time of purchase, the property was widely thought of as a "cabbage patch." THB BUPPALO HISTORICAL SOCII!TY When UB acquired the Counry property, a provision of the acquisition agreement made it mandatory that the land be put to educational use within 10 yean. By 1919, when nodting lw:l yet been done, a one-year extension was granted. With time running out again , and still no funds available for construction, Chancellor Norton in 1920 (at table, right) presided over a mock ground breaking which satisfied the letter o( the usage provision. (This is thought to be a photograph of that occasion.) Wmrutirt4 Auuiurrsarn of advancing age, birthdays and anniversaries are anathema. But when the dowager at 120 curs the most imposing figure of her lifetime and shows every sign of increasing her vitality with the passing years, celebra£ion is in order. So it is for the University as it approaches irs I 20th anniversary on May 11. The occasion is righr both for bringing our the looking glass ro survey the record and for emirring a measure bf awe and pardonable pride rhar it all ever even came to be. That Buffalo in 1846 was an unlikely spot for bringing fonh a University was vividly attested ro by the late Buffalo physician Dr. Herbert Upham Williams when he addressed a public meeting of the Saturn Club in the year 1932. Dr. W illiams had ofren talked with Dr. George Abbott, who graduated in the first class in 1847, and with Dr. Cornelius Wyckoif, class of 1848. On chat nighr some 35 years ago, he recalled 1846: F OR MOST LADIES "Our litrle ciry lay mostly below Chippewa Streec with a few houses straggling our Main, Delawa re and Niagara Streers . . . \X(irh houses heared by wood fires, thick frost on rhe winoo\v panes all winter, lighted by candles, using water from wells or brought from a tank -can, where taking a bath by the kitchen stove was a solemn rite nor performed unnecessarily, where a feather bed was a comfort and not an abomi nation, rooms filled with flies in summer, where cockroaches and the hateful bedbug were, alas, sometimes found, with outdoor privies, heroic in winter, odoriferous at all times - so lived most of the 30,000. Typhoid was common, malaria still <Kcu rred , there were several cholera epidemics, some very bad .... "Buffalo was then considered ro be in the West.

TllLAAX �ciarion ( Iacer the Public Library), a Historical Society, a Society of Natural Science, and a Fine Arcs Academy in their litrle raw town." And, oh yes, a University. The firsr movement toward such an institurion came during rhe mid-1830's when the settlement was completing its rise from the ashes of the War of 1812. Prominent men of the area, U. S. Congressman M1llard Fillmore among rhem, procured from the State a charter incorporating the "Western University." But, without warning, the national financial crisis of 1836-37 rook a heavy roll among the would-be public benefactors of the area. Visions of a great civic educational enterprise faded - temporarily. Then in 1842, an influential group of professional men - the Young Men's .Association - renewed the Univer· siry idea under a revived economy. A local newspaper of rhe times, rising above the frosty hardships of Dr. Williams' account, said, "The position of Buffalo is eminenrly favorable to such an Institution; and it eminently needs one. Our common schools are excellent, but they are comparatively hidden; their presence adds but little to our reputation. They are a noble pedestal ..:_ a University is the statue that should grace it and be our monument." Many days in the Winter months of 1846 were spent in discussing the charter for the institution and on May 11, 1846, by act of the legislature of New York State, The Uni· versity of Buffalo was incorporated. Millard Fillmore, thirteenth President of the United States, first Chancellor of the University, and one of its founding forces, had a maxim which he and others since have applied to the University : "Industry, integrity and perseverance will accomplish everything. Never doubt of success, and you are almost certain to accomplish all you desire." Thus, even though its days have not always been easy and its development not always swift (it was 67 years, for example, before the liberal arts college called for in the origin.U charter was to be established), the University has never doubted its ultimate destiny. It has never hesitated to innovare or to blaze new paths of service to an expand· ing community. It was one of the first American univer· sities founded on the precept of providing for public needs. It was unique in its primary emphasis on education for the professions. It was an early and rare example of a privately· controlled and privately-supported university affiliated with no religious Igroup. It has moved through uncertainties; through the perils of scattered and decentralized operations; through changes of location; '.lnd, finally, through a complete change from independent status to membership in rhe State University of New York. Now, at 120, long since the monument to its community that the journalists of 1840 envisaged, it looks forward to becoming one (possibly, the best) of the four major gradu· ate centers which most educators privately admit will de· termine the ultimate status and accomplishments of State University of New York: Happy anniversary, old girl, may you be another Berke· ley before you're 150! RTM This ainal view t&Rn in 1950 emphasizes the dimension of recent growth. In 1954, Dr. Clifford C. Pumas became the ninth chancellor of the University. He was to lead the institution rhrough the period of irs greatest development and a.cademic achievement. (That, however, is a srory being reserved for the special Summer Issue of rhe B118•lo lfl••muu which will commemorate the " Furnas Years" in honor of the rffiring President. ) Here, Dr. Furnas presides at one of the many cornerstone layini!J and dedications of his adminisuarion, rhe ceremony at Michul Hall, last of rhe four small dorms that were the Univeniry"s lint residence halls.

THB BUPPALO COUIIIHR· XPII.BSS Coming full circle since 1909." the Un.iveniry today looks forward ro another development in the midst of weed patches and barns. Within a few short yean, this sire in Amherst will be the scene of a new S 130 million campus complex, parr of the overall $200 million dual campus and academic expansion projt:eted by rhc State.

Because I come from a relatively poor family and even in my family when there's a matter of finance or something for this business of college education, I'm constantly told to "Go on. Try harder. You can do it." And even recently, my grandmother . . . brought out the fact that even our President Lyndon Johnson, he worked hard. He didn't have it. I said, "Well, there's a difference." She said, "Sure there's a difference, that's why you should try harder." ... MOD ERA TOR: ... But what about the child that doesn't have this kind of support? JONES: I can say a great deal of it is given to him now by social organizations such as the League, CORE, NAACP, CCHR, campus organizations that are participating in understanding this program and, at last, at long last, the schools. Teach.ers now are becoming more socially aware and are beginning to reach some of the things that they ought ro . . . that there is something that the Negro can do to show himself ro be the kind of person he wants to be, to get that freedom . . . . CUFTON: The question generally is how on earth is America going to become a Democracy? That's the question . . . .We can inventory . . . those things that very de6.nitely indtate that it isn't. The position of the Negro is one. There are lots of other things. This one is parcicuJarly timely because a lor of pje<>ple are interested in it. It's reasonably clear that if prejudice is the source, then there has to be some sort of psychological revolution. How do you induce that kind of thing? JONES : Let's bring it down to some specifics and work from there. I've gone into plants recently and it's been an enjoyable si tuation, watching personnel directors who at one time would say, "''m going to dot in the '0 ' at the top of this application form and that wi!J be an indication to me when I go through the · blanks again that this person is a Negro." ... Those of us who were challenged with the responsibility by the State to go and investigate these things got a feeling of sickness ... when we saw this kind of a demonstration. But, nowadays, there is the attempt to go a little bit the ocher way ro help play carch up for some of rhe errors thar have been going on .... MOD ERATOR: This is almosr a kind of reverse discrimination . . . to make up for lost rime. CUFTON: \Very often, rhough, it's like any other son of disease .. ·.. Some of them are reversible and what you do is ro exaggerare the ocher tendency to correct it. I've heard thar complainr ofren. As a matrer of fact, there are organizarions who are complaining on jusr that basis: "This is a reverse form of discrimination and as bad as the other." Well, I chink that's rather senseless .... The thing is that America is in uouble and rhe Negro is a symptom. The whole Western world is in this same kind of uoubJe.

Times change and the man changes w1rh the rimes and even the Negro - even though we haven 't expected him co change as a man - he has also. CLIITON: Let me cell you about a very famous line from the autobiography of an "ex-Negro" . : . Johnson 's work. Johnson was very fair; he was born somewhere in the South . His father was white, his mother was Negro and she was also very fair . Johnson "became" a white man. . . .

Now , are you really going to rake char reply seriously? B«ausc he says, "I don 't wane anything.'' do you rhink the man 1s claiming char he has no desire ar all ? JENKINS : He wanes to live, I would say, and l1ve very happily. I chink we all wane char. CLIITON: I don 't chink char's what, especially the Negro male, wants ar all. .. . He wanes it ro be beyond ques tion that he is, indeed, a man. . . . JENKINS : Well, rhc problem in any communiry, pal ricularly a Negro communiry, is a measuring of the inrensiry of wanes. It's hard ro gee ar. How do you define rhe inrensiry of wane? This is a problem char I ask myself. How do you do chis? How do you make arrangemenes to employ rhese wanes into some productive chanocl? It bothers me. CLIFfON: The.r e's always rhe question of how one translares some desire of a person inro something concrete and ret.l. The point is that certain arrangcmenrs of material goods allow you ro have cenain real options for life styles. 6 �R..r!man 'Dentistry ... 1\Qman ~entistry they didn't brush after every meal, but the anCient Romans of 200 B.C. made every attempt to be in the group with 26 per cent fnrer cavities. A white substance called "nitrium," rubbed oa the teeth by the Romans, halted any wondering about "where the yellow went" - it was hidden by a white coating of the substance, which was probably common "washing soda." In an article published in the }oNNIIIi of the New York State Dental Society, Dr. Malvin E. Ring, assistant clinical professor of clinical dentistry at the University, cites several discoveries about the practice of dentistry among the ancient Romans. While rubes and aerosol cans of toothpaste were still a couple of thou.unds of years away, the Romans' use of tooth-cleaning powders was apparently widespread, according to Dr. Ring. .. . . . The more involved their preparation and more numerous their ingredients, the more highly were they regarded ." A variety of sub ranees were used for "dentifricium," such as bones, egg shells and shells of the oyster and murex. Having been previously burnt and sometimes mixed with hooey, they were reduced co a fine powder. ln addition, dinner guests were provided not only with spoons and knives, but also with elaborately decorated metal tOOthpicJcs. It was considered quite proper to pick the teeth benleen each course of the meal, according to Dr. Ring. Dentistry was praeticed by physicians as a regular parr of their medical practice, and nor by barbers as has been theorized in the past. According to Dr. Ring, we have extensive knowledge of the services performed by Roman barbers, but there is no mention of them extraCting teeth. M AYBE Restorative dentistry was also one of the skills of the early Roman physician. Decayed teeth were restored through the use of gold crowns and missing teeth were replaced by means of fixed bridgework. The earliest reference concerning restOrative dentistry dates back co approximately 450 B.C. and is attributed co Cicero, who quored from the "Law of the Twelve Tables" : "Because of the desire of the state to maintain its supply of gold, it was forbidden to place gold in the tomb with the corpse." However, the law specifically exempted anyone "whose teeth shall have been fastened together with gold!" According to Dr. Ring, it is likely that the prosthetic appliances (bridgework and gold crowns) were fashioned by goldsmiths or ocher artisans. "It is also reasonable to assume that they were placed in the mouth . b* the physician, a relationship not unlike that of the dentist and laboratory technician of today." Despite the efforrs of the physicians of the day to put the treatment of disease on a rational (if incorrect) basis, it was difficult to rooc out the superstitions connected with dental problems. A great naturalist of the day, "Pliny the Elder," advocated the following for relieving a toothache : Find a frog in the light of a full moon, prying open irs mouth and spitting into it, and upon releasing the frog upon the ground, utter "Frog, go, and take my toothache with thee." Pliny also felt that one could prevent a tOOthache by biting off the head of a live mouse twice a month. RJMcV 7 �N_EW ~EMANDS N_EW IN THE SCHOOL OF NURSING EDITOR'S NOTE. This article by ,\ln .

In nursing practice, wide differen tiation in role and level of responsibility mandates diversity in educational prepararion and urilizarion of the resources of a number of instirutions including the hospital, community college, senior college and university. Each of rhese agencies has well defined objectives and provides specific contribmions ro the rotal complex of nursing services. In New York Srare, a recent release of rhe Stare Education ~parrment indicated rhar 141 ,820 professional nurses were registered in 1965, an increase of over 20,000 in a five-year i>eriod; foundation preparation for nursing was offered by 127 institutions in the Stare in 1965 - 89 hospitalschools, 18 associate and 19 bacca- T HE l ' RGENT NEED laureare degree programs and one InSti tUtiOn prov1dmg basiC educarion at a graduate level.

Th1s effort led ro a conjoining of unique University -hospital resources 10 the educauon of nurses - rhe purpose a foundation program relaring preparation more closely ro responsibi!Jty in practice. Influenced by rhe nature of its on g1n, rhe School. under rhe merger With Srare University, has sharpened and enhanced rhe commitment ro coordi nated planning and educauonal programmmg in accord With the predictable needs of a shlfring partern in health services.

The furure availability of hosp1tal facilities within the Univermy's Health Center, m addition to those available 10 community a,geocies, will assure the degree of flexibility and diversity required for development and further trengthenmg of laboratory iosrructlon. The Un1vers1ry has also contributed to nurs10g programs of the hospitalschools, making iu resources available through a pre-clinical program cover- \ �OPPORTUNITIES mg a year of study tn academic and sc tence courses on thts campus. Sarisfacrory completion of the campus program is a requirement for students en rertng the Deaconess, General, Meyer and Millard Fillmore H ospital -Schools. The School of Nursing has a current enrollment of 714 students - 490 of whom are in full -rime and 224 in panttme srudy . A total of 430 students are enrolled tn baccalaureate programs, 33 tn graduate study and 2~0 in the preclinical year for hospital-school stu- \ denrs. In I%~. 76 baccalaureate degrees and four master's degrees were conferred . The undergraduate curriculum, covering I 38 semester hours, combines academic and professional study through the four academic years. The major in nursing is developed from a theoretical base in the biological and behavioral sciences. Designed ro prepare for beginning and non-q>ecialized pracrice, the program provides a base for graduate study in a selected clinical specialty area. Requirements in science and in the liberal arts ( 80 semester hours) include specified courses and electives ( I ~ semester hours ) tO be developed as upper division concentrations in a liberal aru area selected by the student. The nursing major, a clinical concentration of 58 semester hours, is developed as an inter-departmental offering of the several clinical departments. A nursing course (theoretical base and laboratory) is required in each of the four years. Semester hours in nursing increase at the upper division level. The clinical program is introduced in the freshman and sophomore years through study of fundamental concepts common to ai clinical areas - medi- cal -surgical, maternal and child health publi.c. h~th, and psychiatric nursing: Prov1s10n IS made for advancing depth in each area in the junior and senior years. Laboratory courses taught by University faculty in community health agencies provide diversity of experience in a variety of settings. The clinical laboratories provide opportunity for study of selected patients under the direct guidance of a faculty member who ~ricipates in planning and administering the nursing care. One faculty member and six students constitute a laboratory section. A clinically oriented program, which utilizes on-going health services of the community, places heavy demands on the faculty for types of planning and coordinating nor usually associated with teaching responsibility. Bur it also provides an unusual opportunity to maintain the active practitioner role vital co clinical instruction. Admissions to the generic program show a steady growth pattern and numbers of qualiJied applicants far exceed admission levels. New York State residents have averaged 80 to 90 per cenr of each freshman class. Typical of the potential in the student group, a recent study of an entering class showed rhar 41 per cenr of the 82 students presented secondary school credentials with averages of 90 or above. AJJ students were in the upper rwo-6frhs of their graduating classes while 80 per cenr of them were in the rop 6frh. Graduates of hospital-schools or associate degree prog.raros seeking further preparation at a baccalaureate level have been admitted, by most colleges and universities in the country, ro a separate curriculum approximating requirements of the generic program. This practice is now being discontinued and the 1965--66 academic year has been designated in this Sdiool as the terminal year for admissions of such new students. Beginning in 1%667, all students will be accepted in one undergraduate program with advanced standing for previous study in nursing 9 determined by validation examinations. The graduate program requires a minimum of three semesters in full r~me study and has as a primary objective, the preparation of practitioners qualified in one of the specialty areas. The clinical concenrrarion includes foundation courses required of all srudenrs, a major in a selected clinical interest-area and· inrroducrory courses in reaching or administration in nursing. All students are required co present a study, developed under rhe guidance of major faculty advisors, through which an orientation co research methodology may be secured. The University Health Cenrer, wirh the opportunities ir provides for further understanding of goals of the several health professions; for interdisciplinary planning and developmenr; and, where appropriate, for interrelating rhe educational effort, holds promise of a future with educational innovation as the keynote. Of particular significance, the availability of a University Hospital, as the center of education and practice,· will make possible an essential facility in which the acquisition of knowledge, irs application and assessment, raises expectations of a new dimension m future planning and programming.

The reaction was ryp1cal of the soft -spoken assistant ro the dean of women' who has been associated with the Uni · versity off and on smce her graduatiOn 1n 1931. She's hesitant t9 talk about the reasons wh)' she was selected for the honor , more reticent mil to talk about herself ; and almost mute when it comes to drscussing the wide field of community ervl r and humanirarran rffons which make up such a large parr of her ltfe. She'd much rather talk about the "wonderful young people - men and women" w1th whom she comes in contact on the campus and teres to be at least moderately objective when her hobb1es - her four grandchildren come up.

These are things that affect people deeply. that could turn a lesser person more than a little "sour " on life. But Dororhy Simon keeps going, retains an abundant enthusiasm and zest - a desire ro give eagerly of herself ro help ochers, to "get ro know my girls." She says quire readily : "My life has bern a series of high· lights and lowlights - with nothing in between ... Some· how, though, with each trial, she seems to grow, to gain a greater capaciry to go on to the highlights. Right now, she feels, the sources of her srrrngrh ro continue are her family, first, and also her work herr at what she fondly refers to as her "second home ...

The primary veh1clr for her work in rh1s area is the annual Freshman Forum for women whrch she drrects. InItiated almost a decade ago by Dean of Women Jeannerre udder, the forum rs a senes of lecrurrs and di5CUJsions designed to help freshman women define their purposes in college and co encourage them ro use all of the Universiry's resour es in maktng rhe most of their inir1al year . As Mrs. Srmon describes the program , "It aims to give fre hmen an opponuniry ro rake a deeper look ar themselves; ro think through why they are here, and what they hope to gain from college. It hopes to provide a means for young women to ger ro kno members of their own class, and co discu s expenences that are common to all .. :· Arresting ro the success of the series is the faa that, by popular demand, so to speak , freshmen men will be joining the Forum next Fall for th~ first time. Mrs. Simon is delighted at the prospect. "There will be changes, of course. Perhaps we'll put more bounce inro the program," she says. "And we will definitely ret2in the rallcs on marure sexual relationships which have bern an important part of earlier for -women-only sessions." Discussions concerning vital issues of the day will also be added. Mrs. Simon finds that roday's freshmen women are more emhusiastic about education and also of a higher intellectual caliber than their counterpartS of a few years ago. They are more serious about social c.auses, more oriented toward learning and toward cultural pursuitS. 1bey feel free ro ask about things-tnd their questions at the Freshman Forum 10 .. �Dorothy K. Simon ar~ becommg more and more mrelligem . Perhaps, she offers, IS because these women realize just how luclcy they arc ro get Into a univemty in these days of admissions pressures and enrollment limits. The assistant ro the dean herself has always manag~ ro sray dose lO education and to the University as a quick survey of her record will bear our. The former Dororhy Kavinoky, she received her bachelor's degree cum 14ude from UB in 1928 and went on ro earn a ma3rcr's in psychology two years later. While still 10 graduate school, she was married ro D. Bernard Simon, then a freshman in Law. She recalls that marriage for students was " no~ the thing" in those days. As a matter of fact, It was practically unheard · of; bur they made it work. She even had rime ro spare for an in-depth study of rhc effects of movtcs on children for her graduate thesis. After receiving her muter's she was first an adviser to women students and, then, an insrruaor in general psychol ogy from 1932-34. Her elder daughter Robin Simon Magavern was born in 193~ and Jill Simon, in 1937. Very soon after, however, Mrs. Simon was baclc at work, serving from 1939-41 as a part-time lecturer at the YWCA on rhe topic of adjusting to everyday problems. She returned ro the University in 1943 and was again a member of the faculty until 1946. In 1947, she became chief counselor for srudenrs enrolled in the Division of General and Technical Studies. From there, she serv~ as a general counselor in rhe Office of the Dean of Students from 19~2~7, and as psychological counselor in the Student Counseling Cemer before assuming her present duties in 1961. Always one ro keep ~tbreasr of her profession, she also did graduate work at Teachers College, Columbia University, in 19~~ . Like her brother, Edward Kavinoky, a local attorney who has received almost every honor the City ha$ ro offer, Mrs. Simon is active in the realm of community service. She is a past president and current member of the Sisterhood of Temple Beth Zion and a member of the American Association of University Women, serving on that group's Chamberlin Loan Committee which provides educational funds for needy students from Western New York. She is a member of the Isaac Hoenig Scholarship Committee of the Jewish Federation and has been active with rhc Psychiatric Oinic of Buffalo and with the Vocational Welfare Committee of Jewish Family Service. Her professiona.l and scholastic affiliations include Pi Lambda lberl, the women's honorary education association; honorary membership in Alpha lambda Delta, the national freshmen women's honor group of which she is faculty adviser; the American Personnel and Guidance Association; rhe Western New York Guidance Association; and the National Association of Deans at~d Couruclors. She was among those who received a citation for 2~ years or more of service ro UB ar a dinner given by Dr. and Mrs. Furnas lase year. And, just recently, she was selected for listing in the DICTIONARY OF INTERNATIONAL BIOGRAPHY, a record of contemporary achieve{llent, edited by Geoffrey Handley-Taylor, London. Ranking as her keenest personal interest is music or, perhaps more properly, rhe encouragement of young people who _love music. Mrs. Simon takes particular pride in the D. Bernard and Jill L. Simon Music Scholarship established in memory of her late husband and recently extended as a memorial to her daughter as well. The scholarship was created after Mr. Simon's death in 1953, when their dose friend Victor Borge came to Kleinhans Music Hall to present as a memorial concert the premiere of his one-man show which subsequently ran three years in New York. Over the years, approximately 100 students have received monies from the fund which is now administered by the University of Buffalo Foundation, Inc. In recent weeks, many additional gifts have been made in memory of Jill. Also as a rribute ro Miss Simon, rhe Music Department has designar~ its record collection, "The Jill Simon Memorial Collection." A commemorative plaque wiH soon be put in place. For Mrs. Simon, the surprise announcement of this by Music Department Head Allen Sapp came as a most wonderful and consoling gesture. Aside from music, Mrs. Simon enjoys reading novels and poetry - particularly Keats, Shelley and Robert Frost . Three comemporary novels are also very dear ro her. They are the works of her late sister, Bernice Kavinoky, All THE YOUNG SUMMER DAYS, HONEY FROM A DARK HIVE, and THE MOTHER, published by BobbsMcrrill and Rinehart in the mid-1950's. Bernice, who won two major Hopwood awards while earning her master's at Michigan, once rook first prize in a drama competition in which Anhur Miller came in second. Carrying on this family interest, Mrs. Simon is an avid theatre buif. And, at the orher range of the spectrum, she is quite often seen at UB football games in the company of her young grandsons. A staunch friend of "young people," she delights in keeping up with young ideas and derives a great deal of sarisfaction fro~ helping college youth. Perhaps, she says, this is why she !\as made her career at UB. If she had it to do all over again, Mrs. Simon feels that her choice of a career and of a location for that work would be the same. She remembers that her father, the late Dr. Samuel Kavinoky, a beloved physician on Buffalo's East Side, once rold her that because she loved school so well, she would probably end up being a student all her life. Well, he was almost right - she has remained young in spirit and has become an extremely effective cou~or because of her ability ro identify with the students with whom she comes in contact. As a dose friend of hers has said, most students feel completely at ease in discussing the most intimate problems with her. For a grandmother, that's quite a compliment.

We foll ow the ebb and flow of this bi11ersweer romance u the gloomy tide of Fascism mercileuly sweeps over lraly en!(ulling rhe Pi" and other Jews of Farrara. Given the circumstances, the end is quire predictable. NeverthelHs, this is a somewhat different and subd ued genre of hurban literature by a sure and deft craftsman in the sty!.,. of Proust. By Jeremy Larner. Dell, /966 . This memoir of one of our leading critics during his formative years as a writer desnibes the imell«rual ferment among the literary and political rebels of the 30's. Kazin also provides us with capsule por· traits of acquaintances, some of whom are contemporary luminariH such as philosopher Sidney Hook and writer Mary Me· Carrhy. The forme r is revealed as a humorless, obscinate, commitcC'd believer out to torally change society, who does not persuade bur shames, while rhe latter, devoid of any idealism, is just a nasty intellectual, who is always primed to spring for the 1ugular. The 30's were followed by war, r«overy and rhe conformist posture of the phlegmauc ~O ' s, abened by the pervasiveness of automation . A differen t brand of rt"bellion, negative and alienatC'd, arose in •he 60's wuh a policy of rejection, quite conrr~ry to the revolutionary proJ:ram of onvolvement in the 30's.

P. Dt~llor~ . /965 . The woods abour our former houJ(' in Maryland were inhabited by raccoons, masked bandits who would come by night and upset our 111rbage cans until we learned to bribe them by placing leftovers on the patio. If we were forgetful, we would be rudely reminded by the claner of cippC'dover cans--payment for our negligence. It was either keep the garba/o.'C' in the house or move. Accordi ng to the author, our choice was appropriate because the raccoon is more clever than any mere man . Aside from rhe author's imerests, the only connection betwC'C'n the rwo sp«il-s is that they occasiona.lly feed on one another's young.

Colleague LIB-UA044 Description An account of the resource By the early 1950s, the University of Buffalo had expanded from a small group of autonomous schools into a modern university with 14 divisions and a central campus. No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

N OMPO E.R Aaron Copland was named the University's first lee professor of composition in 1957, he explained that he was happy to accept music's "other chair,'' comparable to the prestigious Charles Eliot Nonon professorship at Harvard University. Since then, the "other chair" has been occupied by a string of composers wh se stature attests to the validity of that seemingly presumptuous, or at least premature, comparison. Among them: Carlo Chavez; Leon Kirchner; Ned Rorem; Allen D. Sapp, now chairman of the Department of Music; Alexei Haieff; Leo Smit, professor of music at the University; David Diamond, like Haieff, twice named Slee profe r; Virgil Thomson; George Rochberg; and Mauricio Kagel. Th se men have won national, often international, recog· niti n. In JanUlU'f, for example, David Diamond was dect· ed to the National Institute of Arts and Lcrters, the na· cion's hon r society of the arts, wh se membership is limited to just 250 creative Americans. While lee professor here, Mr. Diamond upe.rvised preparations for rhe world premiere of his 'This Sacred Ground," a setting for orchestra and chorus of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, w . EN NOTED AMERI 2 �which was first performed by the Buffalo Philharmonic on November 17, 196~. It was the late Cameron Baird, first chairman of the Musi Department, who conceived of an endowed professorship which would present each semester to the Unive.rsity and community "a distinguished musician who could bring through both words and music the very best in musical composition and interpretation." The Slee professor fulfills this function by giving a series of lectures or lecrure-demonsu.ations open to the public without cbarg . Often, he allows additional performances of his work in the area. For exampLe, Buffalo was the site last ytar of rhe Amel'ican premiere of Slee Professor Mauricio Kagel"s avam.garde mu.~ical satir , "Sur Scene." Funding of the Slee ptofesrorship is made possible by the t:lequest of Buffalo music-lovers Fredericlc: al)Q Alice ·lee. Their gift to the Department of Music provides an in orne of abour $40,.000 a year which is ,used to support a master-teacher pf composition each semester as well as an .annual cyde df the com~lete Beethoven tring quarters a:tld . five orl\er sp~ia1 music programs. The young composer currently filling the "other chair" is M. Henri Pousseur. Born in Malmedy, Belgium, M. Pousseur reaches a course in new mpsic in Cologne, the German elecrr nk music capital which ga e Buffalo Mauricio Kag I. When not tea hing or commuting between Cologne and his hotne in Malmedy, he devores himself to composition and music criticism. A distinguished rheorisr of wntemporary music, he has published widely in American well as European journals. Soon to appear is a study of CHANCE AND NEW MUSIC, based on six te<tures which he pre~ ar rhe Univeuity of Brussels. As a ~o~~r; M. · Pousseur is a man of m~ldple ralents, wnuog msrrumental and vocal, convenuonal and etectronic music. WHile thoroughly familiar with the prioeiples of traditional music - he attended the Royal Conc;rvatories of Liege and Brussels - he prefers the "young music f my gen~rarioo." "After all,'' he says, "1 am living now.·• His special although not exclusive interest i.s electronic .., music,?The methods of elecrronic music,'' he explains, "are pepl!ically contemporary." Sinc.e World W-ar II, composers have become incr:eas.jngly aware of the muskal potential of electronic equipment and elecnified insrrumems. M. Pou seu.r foresees rhe time when the ~rchestta as we know it, witb its time-honored hierarchy of traditional insttu· mems, will be replax:ed by a new kind of orchestra made up of rtadidooal and e:lectri6ed instruments and even electronic devices. The raH, blond composer looks forward to this: general triumph of what rn1ght be called the mixed mode, already very much- in .evidence in hi" own work." Since 1960, he has been at "f)rk on an opera entitled ''Vorre Faust,'' a major work l>hich incorporates vocal, instrumental an~ tlecrronic music. As conc:;eived by M. Pous~ur and his librertist, French novelist Michel Butor, "Votre Faust" is a "Variable Fantasy~ Operatic Genre." A vast and complicared work, still uo1inished, it a·Jrea4y fills a score of more than 600 pages. As the title makes dear, ''Votre Faust" is "your," char is rhe audience's, version of the archetypal legend. In the first of irs two partS, the Faustian dilemma is presented in contemporary terms. . .A young compQser, named HenCi, of course, is commissioned by a fiendish rheatte manager to wrire a "Fausr." He must choose between selling our to the manager (and, thus, losing his anistk integrity and his lover, Maggie) or refusing the attractive offer. The authors of "Vorre Fa'ust" place Henri's fate squarely in the hands of the audience. During the entr'acte, members of the case will wander rhrough the lobby asking viewers ro vore for or againsr Henri's damnation. The consensus of the audience will determine the direction of rhe sec90d ace for which Pousseur and Bu.ror have composed 31 brief, alternative scenes. Right up ro the final moment of the opera, th.e audience may revoke irs original decision through a mioo~iry spokesman or simply by applauding and ca11ing our. The opera is a skillful blend of chance and calculatjon . While the audience response is unpredictable, ir is governed by certain rules of play. For example, interventions are limited in number -only four are allowed in the enrire second ;~ct. Moreover, while the action of the opera ma.y seem sponran~ous, it is nor improvised. Players · must choose among several clearly outli~ed versions of each scene. The climacric final scene, for example, must be played in one of five ways, ranging from triumphant salvation to utter damnation for Henri. Butor is probably largely responsible for the lirerary quality of the opera wl)ich contains lengthy musical quotations from earlier operatic variations on the Faust theme. .As M. Pousseur explains, "In 'Votre' Faust,' spoken words become music, and music becomes as .literary as possible." He says further of the multi-leveled work, "It's a little in · the tradition of Joyce - but· Joyce adapted to a large audience, and a little more comprehensible, I think." Miche1 Buror, visiting professor of French on rhe Mrs. Joseph T. Jones Foundation dwiog 1962-63, easily makes rhe cran.sirion from the literary to the operatic mode. He recently published a "srereophonic novel" set in Niagara Falls, entitled 6,810,000 LITERS OF WATER PER SECOND, in which he makes literary capital of his knowledge of elecrronic music. Described as one of the ''high pdesrs of the French New Novel," he will rerurn tO Buffalo on March 28 to deliver a public lecture in the Conference Theater, Norton Union, ar 8:30p.m. Whi1e the Pousseur-Bucor opera has yet to be performed, a shon wotk\inspired by ir was presented during M. Pousseur's March 14 Slee lecture-recital, "Harmony, A Renewed Question:· Aoother of his teeent works, entitled "Repons,'' wift be featured during Lukas Foss's "Evening for New Music" on April 24. In concert, M. Pousseur explains, the development of "Repons," performed without a conductor, is controlled by the musicians themselves; who form a kind of "musical brain rrusr." During the remainder of M. Pousseur's visit to the University, Buffalo will, no doubt, see more, exciting, experimental performances like this one. While it does, .the most contemporary of new music will remain the speCial excellence of the "other chair." PWM �(~ "A PICTURE OF ACAT IN ABOOK IN THE UNIVERS YLIBRARY."

There is no app rent an wer forthcoming as ro wh form of therapy is better. ln fact, each may be ai.ming a.t differenc .goals. While the two schools of thought continue the conttover i I deb te, the Psy hological Clinic continues to provide a full c::linical pro ram for it graduate studentS. The prim ry goal of the Clinic is training gr.duate rudenr to be p ychologisrs. In ddition, the Oinic offers services to both the ac demic community and area residentS who are in need of a isran e. Dr. Marcia n es, h wever, ch3t th Univer ity's Coun ling Center is the primary gency on campus for h ndling individuals with psych logical problems: "'lr i a necessary duplication f ervi es ince we could not pos ibly handle all of the problem f und on a Jar e campu uch as thls. Yet, in order ro properly prepare our graduates for their work, we offer clinical help to a porri n of the campus and community." The Clinic serves as a major urce of field experien e for graduate students working in the clinical ycbology program. In the four year gr duate program, the first two year are spent learning interviewing techniques and di g· nosric re ring and taking tr dirional, ientilically oriented p ych J gy courses. In rhe third year, the srude.nt rves his imern hip under the direct supervision of a Clinic raff member. Intern hip have been 'served as far away as Hawaii and Californi , with pproximately oe-haJf of the r~duate student interning at the Clinic. The final year -of the gradua(e program includes writing the dis ration and carrying a caseload in the Oioic. A person seeking help io the Oinic at Townsend Hall is interviewed by either upervi.sed student or staff mem· ber. AU pertinent informati n regarding the person' ba k· ground, present pr blem, etc., is gathered. Then the client is asked to rerurn for diagnostic resting. Following the STRANGE DIALOG E i ficticious, but actual con· versarion very similar to the above are frequently tak· ing place in the University Psychological Clinic. The . process is called "behavior therapy'' and is one pare of a broad program q.urendy underway within the Clinic. Founded at tpe University in 1947, the Clinic has en · ouraged the exploration of promising new methods of rrearmenr or techniques of evaluati n. Graduate srudencs, .who are preparing for their docrorates, re using "behavior rherapy" in treatment of specific disorders. Behavior therapy, as opposed to traditional insight therapy, theoriz s that certain phobias, unconrrollable fears, etc., are not necessarily symbolic manifestations of deeper inner. conflicts usually related ro .childhood. The beh vioc · the(apist believes that rhe problem is nor a symbolic fear, bur a conscious, real fear which can be eliminated via a two-seep therapeu{ic process. The "ca( conversation above concerns rhe "hieratchy construction" aspect of the ther py. Prior to this step, however~ the client is taught to relax, "completely relax," according to Dr. James E. Marcia, acting directOr of the Clinic. Dr. Egan A. Ringwall, direcror of the Oink, i currently on sabbatical leave. "Once we have taught the client to relax his wh le body, we confront him wirh the lean uncomfortable sitUation that he can think of concerning hi fear ," Dr. Marci s ys. Thus, in the ase of the individual who is fearful of cats, the opening dialogue would apply. The client is rold to raise a finger if rhe statement of "a picture of a cat in a b?<>k in the library" rouses fear within him. Working on the theory thar an individual cannot be both relaxed and afraid at the same rime, the behavior therapist begins ro conscruct in the client's mind a hierarchy of confidence. If the individual can remain relaxed with the first mention of a car, anmher situation is discussed : "A pkrure o1 a car in a book in this room ." Using this method, the client slowly gains confidence and is able to associate himself with thoughts and ideas of cats without fear. The therapy continues until the patient is capable of couching and holding cacs and is thus cured. 4 �Dialogue? tnCIIIVJOu:al returns and discusses the results of his If therapy is the prognosis, dates are upon and, soon afterwards, the therapeutic sessions The staff of the Clinic currently includes one social worker, six fuJI-time and 11 pare-rime clinical psychology interns, two consulting psychiatrists, ten clinical psychology faculty members and two secretaries.

"There is nor much differen e between the problems of srudems at this Univer icy than chose of a srudent at a small, private college."

Thus, loneliness, abandonment and alienation are nor necessarily caused by a large school, although there is probably a greater tendency for already alienated students co gravitare tow rd the ':'lultiversiry. 5 �Lectures and demonstrallons t•ta clostd circMil TV intrellslf le•"""R ahili;) a11d tet~rbinx .,ff ctir II/6JS .

Accordingly, the basic course con sid~rs dentistry a branch of medicine. Therefore, instruction in the fundamental basic sciences is given jointly to medical and dental students: Future relatiooships among medical and dental practitioners are aided through chis common basic trai ning. It is imperative in the conserva tion of human life that these two great professions of health service should have a common ground for the interchange of ideas. A new fi rst-year curriculum was introduced in September, 1962, wirh the aim of correlating all studies around the cent-ral theme of human biology. The sequence of smdies is aligned to provide coordination and integration of subject matter in all practical ways, regardless of t.raditional deparrmeoral boundaries.

Ma.jor research p.rojecn h•ve been developed in ot"3.l biology, oral hi~rology, nd dentl!i m .terials while scudie are now staning in radiatioo biology, behavioral science, nd growth and development.

The School of Dentistry today looks back with pride on its hetirage and forwa.cd with tbe hope of an even greater future. New facilities are even now being planned which will permit the developmetu of teaching and r~ch programs of excellence. Additions are being made co our faculty co improve ooc pr~nr competence and to p epare us for cbe many changes and innovations whiCh musr come in the profession and in the educational process. • dental training is to r~ch rhe srudent ro become a creative, independent practitio~er.

Srudeor fellowship awards are made by an ofl:idaJ com· mittee of the School on che basis of incentive, apdrude and scholarship. · The School -of Dentistry is developing a fairly extensive prog~am. of educational r~l~vision.

In addition, television can give the magnification necessary for the proper perception of the use of the small items involved. A video tape recorder permirs the recording and srorage of views of dental procedures s char they may be used at a more opportune \ime for both the srudenrs and faculty. Several of our reaching laboratories and lecture rooms are now equipped with television screens, and we are compiling a respectable library of television rapes of many clinical proced~res. With the rapid population increase our countty is experiencing, a manpower shorrase is developing in denci tty. A partial answer to this problem is to increase the productivity of each dentist by ha ing bim utilize auxiliary personnel. For this reason the School of Dentisrry now has a program co tea.ch the dental srudenrs the effective use of such personnel. The studenrs are taught how to wotk with dental assistanrs, dental hygienists, nd demal technicians. Although this educational program is quite new, it has quickly become an imegrared part of the total educational experience and is being expanded as rapidly as possible. The Graduate School of the State University of New York ar Buffalo offers programs of interest ro dentists in the Departments o.f OraJ Biology ;rod Onhodomics.

One of the handful of people he had prganized invited him to attend a public meeting she had called on middle-income housing. When he arri11ed at the meeting place, he was astounded to find over 1,500 people filling the room and overflowing imo the haJJways. A pang of envy shot through bim. How had this woman done in a few days the job he had worked months on with lirde success? He decided to ask her. She gave a simple reply : "Did you see the posters?" What he found on the posters was another simple statemenr : "If you don't want your house rorn down. come to this meeting." However, it was only a matter of weeks, the organizer report, before almost every one of the 1,500 who had attended .the meeting had ceased co participate in the project. Called by a crisis, they found that the crisis was months, or even years, away. The poster was just a trick. The organizer was Mr. Marvjn Bloom, now assistant professor of social welfare. He came tO the University in 1963 to sec up courses in community organization. The courses he teaches in this area break the ptereotype of what social work is all about: 'W ,e work on block organizacioo, learning how to involve people in cbe proc~ of solving the problems that affect them in community tfviog. We give training in urban planning, dealing with the problems of housing, educadon, integration, even co the point of asking if cities are viable insti"ruriQns any more. We also study the new problems of unions: the problems of leisure rime and jobreuaining in the face of automation and other technological developments. We work, in · ocher words, on the broad base of the urban complex, or, tlSing the words quite lirerally, social welfare problems." This often means that social workers will be directly involved in social action, and, indeed, students in this program work with such organizations as the Urban League, Friendship House in Lackawanna and 'the Community Welfare Council. · · As a teacher and a community organizer, Marvin Bloom seeks imaginative ways to approach new social problems. But beyond that, he is impatient with what srrikes him as limited and conventionalized thinking- wherever he finds it. Such impatience was expre.\5ed this January at a discussion on slums sponsored by Housing Opportunities Made Equal (HOME). It was on chat occasion that Mr. Bloom suggested that the University ·shouJd have chosen the heart of the Ellicott district - one of the poorest sections of downrown Buffalo · - as the site of its new campus. _ "In planning for the location of the new campus, the University had the opportunity to make a meaningful coorribution to the welfare of the City. A University in that part of ~uffalo's gheno can give a tremendous boost ro public education there. The neighborhood's · income level would rise signjjicantly. Problems of housing could be faced more directly. The kind of shopping center that is now being planned opposite the Amherst site would, in- · ~tead, be located in an area where much of the population is now forced to pay higher prices for its necessities than other people with much higher incomes. There would be advantages for the University, too. A closer relationship could exist between the University and Roswell Park Memorial Institute. Life would be easier for the commuting students. J 9 �( Here, again, it make more sen f r rhe h pital tO be I aced downrown." Mr. Bloom al thinks bout rhe hou ing project planned by another inscirucion in ch ity, whlch is designed to hether provide housing f r its employees. H que don the present plan , which will di ommode 00 f mHies in th r the Ellicott disrriet, h ve ino rporated qualiti alt benefi ial tO the pie who will live there. He uggest , for in t n e, that th n cure of the a commodations co be built for the empl yees be th sam r ardle s of the income of the people living io them . Thus, a "skewed rental" plan could be foil wed, acing che rent to the in omc of the policy were followed particul r inhabitant. If uch for this e mially pri at hou ing, it ould serve as a model for future publi housing facilitie in rhe ity, h uggesc. "Thar brings to mind another matter in rhe area of publi hou JOg. lost d of the iry devoring i If exclusively to high-ri e apartment blocks wirh big sjgos io front proclaimin due they are publi hou ing, we ought co try 'scale housing' in Buffalo. This ould mean building h u on vacant lots in le wirh the dwelling around th m. For some rea n, and probably no ood r n, we have c me co assume that public housing ha co be t lea t teo rories high ." " · le housing," Mr. Bl m feel , ould provide Buffalo with a continuing supply of living s ce in a City char at pr nt is terribly rowded in many area . Mr. Bloom doesn't pretend that hi idea carry ith them the germ of u e . Io faa, he's willmg t su esc th t he makes no claim for ho they might rum our. Th reults might be entirely unpredict ble, he say , and things might happen to bring about unanrkipated ch nges. "Many urban problems are n w, arising ur of populari n rowth, th change in the shape of dries and tremendou changes in tcchn logy. To fail w uld be n thing new. We really ought to be willing to take chan es, co gamble, co try ne solutions to these problems." One of hi main con ern in conducting cour s in community organization is the scudy of how decision are made in rhe metropolitan community. He mentions rwo area ro how that our traditional view of "power stru · tures" in government nd community life docs n r uiccly obtain. "What ffecr d s the private sector have on decision making? Are we ro suppose that Bethlehem Steel has n effect on the life of Lackawanna? The very idea - supposedly at the b of such hemes as the War on Poverty seems co be me kind of ssumpcion that fourtOry buildings are better for education than skys rapers. I can't see why rh! is so. How are the purpose of scholar· ship beqer served 'by a coumry retreat which is f r from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Kleinhans Music Hall and rhe very fine Erie , oumy Public Library? "Mostly, what I am saying is chat I believe in holarship, bur I think we have ro ger our hands dirty in tbe icy we live in. We have the knowledge t work on the probl ms of, the c;ity, but we make no concerted effort to use it." I Animate, relaxed, M~rvin Bloom works at a hopeles ly cluttered desk in an office in Foster Hall char in an earlier age muse have seemed elegant. The clutter is reminiscent of both f his profession . Like rhe community worker's desk, imper ooal note from congressmen are mingled there with pamphlers, pal;'ers and studies about Buffalo, and fed.eral reports on technology. The professor is e ident in currtculum sheets, bibliographies, · ungraded paper , class lists and a variety of books. Mixed in with the materials relevanr ro hi work are the stranger : the German poet Rllke's covert and e eerie DUINO ELEGIES, Edith Hamilton's handbook, THE GREEK ~AY, and others. The man who works at that desk spends a good deal of rime in the community. Besides bein in frequent contact with organizations like Urban League and HOME, he is always in search of projects which can use the help of his students who musr, as parr of rhe program in rhe School o( Social Welfare, ger experience in field work. Mr. Bloom himself is fren called ro speak on a ariety of subjeers before City group whose work is related co ocial welfare. He rakes rime ro make public hi feelings, as a professional in the field of community organization, about many acriviries that have an effect on Buff lo's urban complex. · Aaions that spring from too-quick answers and wbar he calls "roo much conventional wisdom" are likely to draw a prompt response from him. "The plan co build a Counry hospital on the present campus concerns me. I have no doubt that it will be very convenient for rhe students and faculty of the Medical School, bur will it be convenient for rbe people who gee sick? lr seems more appropriate that doctors and research· ers drive co the hospital rather chan force patients, many of whom don't have transporrarioo, co make a long trip. 10 �and au! Alinsky's plan for Buffalo - of attempting tO give the p r the power of determining 'policy' that affects them, pale next to su h onsideration. The same thing is true when you chinle of the many people who work for variou communiry groups while paying their domestic help minimum, or le s than minimum, wages. "Who determines welfare policy for Buffalo? If we prer nd that the influen e exerted by federal financing does nor exist, we are making a bad mistake. Bur we should lso be aware of the effect that poverty's cliches have on welfare programs : 'Most people on welfare are cheating nd t king money they don't need.' 'People who go on welfare are p r bec.ause they are lazy: "I would gues char most welfare agencies spend more mon y che king up, spying and investigating to prevent 'cheacing' than the 'cheating' ir elf would cost. Bur these agen ie re so burden d with stereotyped thinking that th y don't dare try new alternatives.'' An open and direct person, Marvin Bloom is at rbe same tim a rr ngely private person. Somewhere, someone knows n of a Mr. and Mrs. Bloom, of New York that he is th icy, , nd that h wenr co P.S. 159, Roo evelr High and N .Y.U. Bur if he is asked these things, he is likely ro reply in , way th r seems completely arisfacrory, "''m free and over 21, what else could you possibly wane to know ?" A rna ter of ience in social work (he earned rhe degree ar now the olumbia School of Social Work), profc sor, a c mmuniry organizer, Marvin Bloom teaches a program in the School of Social Welfare that has a cenrral purpose : "The point i char n w problem cannOt be helped by mor of rhe same old solutions. We are trying ro avoid what I thmk are the extremes in the way others treat these probler(lS. Too often, o erwhelmed by the complexity of urban li ing, elfare organizations imply piddle around ith rhe i sues, purring a shoe on here, purring up slides and wings there. "At the other extreme, you have group , like Saul Alinky's lAP, hi h oversimplify the problems. His is basically rrade-uni ni r's posinon, based on a slogan, 'poor people unite, fi ht iry Hall .' This is what I call false organizari n, like that hou ing meeting in Harlem. What happens i , he leaves behind an organization based on a struggle with rhe power strucrure. I'm not sure that the power trucrure really exi t in the way he thinks it does. On this m extreme, I have a feeling thar SDS (Students for a Demoaari Society) suffers from a similar weakness. "In order to be effective, an organization that rakes the weJfare of the community as it cask must have a thorough knowledge of uch things as fiscal srrucrures, educational planning, traffic decision-making, transit srrucrure, plaza planning and forth. These matters vitally affecr wh ther or nor a city will continue to exisr. "The community worker, as we rry to prepare him, has to be able to look at the urban ituation he is in and decide what needs first arteorio9. This quesrion of prroriry is extremely complex, and perhaps one of our purposes is to create in the social worker an awareness of that complexicy. If he lear1 rhar, then be can cake rhe risk involved io brealcjng away from conventional solutions." TPH books .by the faculty DECISION and the aJIOITION of MAN CAPITAL EXPORTS AND GROWTH AMONG U. S. REGIONS By Dr. }. Thomas Romans, IIJSisr~tnt · pro/#ssor of 'COnomics. P11b· /ish,J by Wes/ey11n University Press, Jlfiddlerown, Connecticut, 1965 . N11mber of p11ges, 2 o. In this work, Dr. Romans has furnished measurements of in· terstate Rows of capital in the United Stares and related th m to state growth rates and income levels. The book not only contains estimates of State net capital exports, but it also provides heretofore unavailable data on state gross product, consumption, saving, taxes, investment and govern· ment spending incidence which are ali relevant to a wide rang~ of both regional and macroeconomic problems. Considerable attention is devoted to the meaning, sources and reliability of the newly generated data. Utilizing the state data, the book tests two major hypotheses : ( 1) that stJte and regional growth rates are to a large degree a func· tion of the net importation of capital from slower grow· ing states and regions; and ( 2) that high per capita income regions generate a sur· plus of saving which is exported to finance faster growth rates in lower per capita in· come regions. Based on Dr. Romans' doetoral dissertation, th volume is part of the New England Research Series which is sponsored by the New ngland Council. The Series is devoted to outstanding works of research on problems of economic development. Dr. Romans, -.lho is currently on leave in· Washington, D. C., joined the faculty in 1960. He received his bachelor's · degree from Cornell University and his masrer's from the University of Tennessee where he was an assistant in agricultural economics. H e 11 took his doctorate from Brown University under a Ford Foundation research fellowship and was also an instructor there. Dr. Romans is a member of the American Economics As· soc.iation and has been a mem· b:er of the American Civil Liberties Union. · He received the New England Council Dis· sertation Ptize Award in 1963 for his doetoral work.

Based almost entirely on pri· mary sources, this study of the inland Reet describes several neglected aspects of the 0 vi I War. It is the story of the Federal fresh-water navy which enga~:ed in the actions on the Western rivers and contributed to the opening of the Mississippi River for the Union. This ph~e of t~e Civil War, told here ~e first time in its •entire , is an account that supports the belief of some historians that Vicks· burg, not Gettysburg, was the crisis of the Confederacy. The book details the desis:n and • construction of a new type of the shallow· war vessel draft gunboat - which reprc· sented significant progress in naval architecrure.

They can have the full answer by trying their own hands at "art-craft." At the show, onlooker will view the staff's ceramics, metal work, drawings and paintings . and, hopefully, will be! inspired to satisfy their own creative ·drives and pursue th ir latent talents through paniciparion in the Center's programs. The exhibition will include works by Joe M. Fischer, director of · the Center; Harold B. (Bill) Helwig, assistant director; Syl· via Rosen and Ulli Chambc!r· lin, ceramic specialists; John Dunham, jewelry and metal special.ist; and Judy Chiswell, an occupational therapy stu· dent who "watches the store" each evening and Saturday. Begun as the Craft Shop in 1962 at the time of the opening of the new Norron Union, the Ccnte.r provides • free fa iliti to all rudents and is available for a nominal fee to all faculty and taff. The Center's ummer ion is open to spouse . Th I 62· 6 approximate total of 50 participants in the Ceo~ r' programs bas increased to over 400 this year. " We should al · most double last year's numbc!r of r ginrants," say Mr. Fischer. Enrollment in th Center's offering require no prior training or experience. Beginners may receive basic in· struetions for jewt'lry and ceramics at regularly scheduled evening hours throughout the week. ther craft area include enameling, leather, hand woodworking, printing, lapidary and pkture framing. Earlier this month, stud nts exhibited their work in Norron along with paintings and sculpture by An Department students. The exhibit, no doubt, held a special meaning for Mr. Fischer who cannot overemphasize that art •nd crafts at the Center are closely interwoven. In an effott to remove the " hobby ist" image from his field, he inau urared the ne title for th craft facilities at the bc!ginning of this semester. His conviCtion is shared by Mr. Helwig who holds a bachelor's in art and a master's in art education from Fon Hays Kansas State College. Mr. Fischer, who joined the University last july, received his bachelor's and master's {fine ans) from the University of Oregon. He abo directed the craft shops at Beale and Nellis Air Force Bases in California and Nevada.

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

The University is really the spawner of night living. Student and scholar are used to working long after 6ve o'clock. But for orher workers, the day begins after even the student hu left his books. Lunch for many night people comes at 9 p.m. For others (the telephone opera· tor in front of her modern switchboard, che nurses in the Infirmary, the "graveyard shift" beker who startS his work at midnight) the "mid-day" meal is at 3 a.m .• or later. For these workers, the nigbt hour is almost routine. There is the matter of cleaning and heating; of watching over the sick; of patrolling tO keep sale the leeper, the late-night researcher, and the great mass of inanimate property clustered around the institution. There is the business of preparing trucldoads of food that will find irs way to the stomachs of the 15,000 f.f.ple who spend such a large part of their lives in the campus buildings'. And all night long, there is cooking and baking, stoking and ·scfubbing. Life at night is the same as life during the day, except perhaps for the solitude that is built into a world where most people are sleeping.

T HB EMPIRE STAT has six Schools of Pharmacy, of which four are located in the roetropoliran New York area, one in Albany, and one in Buffalo. Of these, our own at Buff-alo is the only State University School of Pharmacy. The fact that a State Uni versity has responsibilities which are State-wide has implication for .the Buffalo School of Pharmacy and we ate fortunate to find ourselves wellplaced, indeed possibly uniquely so, to make a substantial contribution to the Th• o/J Utfinrsity B*iltli"l .t th1 conur of M.i" llflll V1rti""' Str~m """" 1.61 of dH fo•lfimt of 1b1 School of P~y ;,. 1886. nu 6 need for pharma ists and pharmaceutical science personnel throughout the State. A look at the past may be instructive. The School of Pharmacy at Buffalo was the: second hool esrabH bed (1886) in the young University of Buffalo, begun in 1846 with the boot of Medicine as the first division. In 1886, Buffalo was a city of 300,000, and the University Building, housing the two bealth schools, was at the cornet of Main and Virginia Strms. A major point of convenience wu stressed in the University Bulletin of 1886: "Eight lines of street cars pus the University Building and it is, the.te· fore, easy of acces,s from any pan of the dry." We oote also that "in the laboracories, orking space is provided with Niaga(a water.» Pew each . Th1 tl~HH~ifll,_, of Dr. AJim P.

The early years of the School of Pharmacy were times of slow but sig· nificant devclopmem. In 1904, we find the name of Dr. Albert P. Sy listed in the University Bulletin as professor of organic chemistry and German. In this tide was a hint of things ro come. This appointment, and Iacer Others in physics, botany and geology, formed rhe seedbed from which the College of Arrs and Sciences came inro being, thus establishing the core from which a true University could grow. Space for such a growth became available at che end of World War I on the present campus, originally the Erie County Poor Farm. ~ 40 years since have been periods of growth for all divisions. F«,JI-7 ..J stun~ ~.sureb .U1 to '"' rli•~l of th• u,.;.,frsilys ,.011.,.,. Sebool of nmosph~• pJur,.,,,, Two very significant dates in University hcaJrh affairs were 1953 when the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry moved to the campus ro occupy Capen Hall and 1960 when the Health Sciences Building was opened tO house the Schools of Pharmacy and Nursing. These steps provided the physical eo· vironment for the creation of the pres· ent Health Sciences Center. Recendy, a fifth school of Health Related Professions was added ro the Center. Within this complex, the School of Pharmacy has several responsibilities. First, we have a major responsibility to train studenrs for entry into the professional practice of pharmacy in the community and in hospitals. The needs for such personnel conrinue to be substantial in the area we serve (mainly Western New York west of Swu U.W~n11 of N~t~~ Yori's BoMtl of Tras· 1 1111 tlisil 1h1 Um~rni'J 1 Sd1ool of P--1 - th• OJJ1 CHU withifl 1h1 Suu's IJSI,.. 7 Syracuse) and will expand further i~ the years ahead. In community phar· macy, we project an increase of about 50 per cent, in srudenc enrollment. In hospital pharmacy there exists a major need in Wescero New York. On na· tional norms, there is a shortage of over 200 hospital pharmacists in the area we serve. Hence, we project the desirability of graduating about 25 hospital pharmacists a year by 1970-72 when the University Hospital is scheduled co be completed. In addition, rhere is an increasing requirement that some of these have a post-baccalaureate professional ql1Jllification. Hence, we are projecting also programs leading to rhe professional Master of Pharmacy and Doctor of Pharmacy degrees. · The second major responsibility of the School is in the training of pharmaceutical science personnel for careers in pharmaceutical industry and health-related research. Ac present, che faculty of the School of Pharmacy operates programs of the Graduate School leading to the Master's or Ph.D. degree in pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, or biochemicl!l pharmacology. · Finally, the School of Pharmacy par· ticipates in cbe ongoing ioreUecrual life of the Health Sciences Center. Representing a profession whose primary concern is the provision of medicinals for use in medical and demaJ practice, the pharmaceutical sciences departm nrs have a narural focus of arcencion which is physical and chemi· cal. This is not to suggest that these departments do nor have a significant interest (in some cases, a5 in biopharmaceutics and biochemical pharmacology, a substantial interest) in ap· plicacions of biological concepts. Nevertheless, in collaboration and co· ordination with other colleague departments (particularly those of biochemistry and biophysics) these departments contribute to the establish· ment of a chemically and physically oriented "segment" of t.he basic science component of a Health Sciences Center which can be uniquely broadly based in comparison with other health science and medical centers. It is in this area of development of the composite Health Center that the School of Pharmacy foresees its major contrib~tion tO the intellectual life of the University. • • �Mast.ering Oriental Languages f"' '"J"'I HE SIMPLEST Pl-JRASES in a nOD· J. estern language are Greek to most people. Bur thanks ro Dr. Peter M . Boyd -Bowman; t>roft:ssor of modern languages, UB students are ma.s·· cering J~panese and Mandarin Chine~, long considered two of rhe most difticulr of the criti · ·c al non-Western languages_. ' Dr. Boyd-Bowmao emphasizes rhat he is not teaching these languages to this pilot group Of graduate and undergraduate StU· d~nts. A.~mitted to the program because of high . achievement on the Modern Language Aptitude Test, the students are learning through independent study of raped and pti~ted materials 'lind frequent drill with native speakers known as "informant " or "pronunciation drill masters." Listening tomprehension and proficiency . ic,~ the spoken language are the pr\mary goals of the course, Dr. Boyd-Bowman explains. Reading and writing proficiency are secondary goals and will be introduced Iacer. When the program was launched here in September, each srudem was issued a tape-recorder for his own use in achieving these goals. While the six srudying Chinese were making prog· ress with conventional machines, three forrunate students of Japanese were issued .EFI "audio notebooks"-· transistorized "ponable language labs'' which weigh only eight pounds and can store an entire semester's lessons on a single wide-crack rape. In addition to lisrening and {esponding ro ta}'(:s correlated wirh his texr, each student meets for up ro five hours a week with the native-speaking informant who drills him in the basic construccions of the langua,se and encourages him ro use his growing language skills in conversatiOn. To en· courage conversation, informams may ask students to descri~ pictures, ro tell simple stories and even tO raJce part in classroom dramas. 1r is the nud nt who rakes the Initiative at these ioformru essions. Dr. Boyd-Bowman points our. The informant, he continues, Is a wearc_h sour e and nor, in any seQSe, an in crucror. In fac , inf rmaot are expressly forbidden ro answer cechniaal que riorrs abour their native languages. ho eo from amon the University' foreign students, infonnanrs are paid for their assist nee at regular srudenr rates. On e a week, iof nnaDt meer with Dr. Boyd-Bowman co discuss the prog· ress of rhe students and to rape a tenminute ora.l rest for each of them. Dr . Boyd-Bowman administers these tailormade te ts ar a weekly gatherina of all srudenrs in a makeshift language lab ho~ed in the b semem of tosby Hall . Neither Dr. Boyd-Bowman not the informant grades the test . Tb y are dated and scored away uoril the end of the semester when a visrdng speciaJisc is invited tO the tJniversity to evaluate the work of the tudents, according ro the standards of the p«ial· ist's own institution.

Jorden i rhe author of the text BE INNING JAPANES used here and praised by Dr. BoydBowman as the best in the field. Dr. Boyd-Bowman's interest in !an· gu ges and particularly in neglected langu es has a long and interesting history. Born in Japan of British parents, h majored in German and Spanish ar the University of Toronto. After receiving his doctorate in Roman e lingui tics from Harvard Uoiver ity, he spent two years in Spain as a uggenheim fellow, undertaking a massive geobiographical study ( srill in progress) of the Spanish settlers of America from the time of Columbus ro e end of the ixreenrh century. The rudy, he explains, is very rele- T HB MODERN UNlVl!ttSITY, former Modern Languages Association President Marjorie Nicholson once said, often resembles the assembly· line nightmare of Charlie Chaplin's classic, "Modern Times." Like rhe film's harried factory worker, more and 1 more studenb find themselves com· pdled. ro "work faster" in order to keep pace with a steadily a'ccclerating Bow of f cts. To this education of birs vane ro the understanding of SpanishAmerican dialectS. Shortly after returning from Spain in 1957, Dr. Boyd-Bowman became a Fulbright professor of Spanish lin· guistics in Colombia. While teaching a seminar there in field methods in linguistic analysis, he directed his smdenrs in a grammatical description of one of the hemisphere's mosr neglected languages, Tukano. Tukano, an Indian language spoken in areas bordering the Amazon and irs tributaries in Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru, bad previously been studied only by amateur linguists, mo dy missionaries. After interrogating three native Tukano speakers in the classroom, rhe seminar participants flew into the rain forest in and pieces, Miss Nicholson offered an alternarjve - a liberal or, as .~Iron called it, a "generous" education. Notable among programs which make a generous educarion possible ar rhe University is rhar of the Philosophy Department. In an age of increasing specialization, it refuses ro · produce narrow specialists. As Chairmao RoJlo Handy ~lains: "As a matter of JXllicy we have developed a de- 9 order ro tesc .,their classroom analysis in rhe field. · Although Dr. Boyd-Bowman has · never attempted ro introduce Tukano in this country, he has successfully inrroduced courses in Hindi-Urdu, Persian, Swahili, and Brazilian Portuguese, as well as Japanese and Mandarin Chinese, ar Kalamazoo College, Michigan, where he began developing rhe neg· leered languages program under con· traer with the U.S. Office of Education in 1963. Next year, he hopes ro introduce a course in Vietnamese at UB. . Encouraged by the progress of his students, Dr. Boyd-Bowinan is confident that "directed self-instrucrion may soon add a fruitful dimension ro the study of neglected languages in this country." PWM parrmenr characterized by considerable diversity in philosophic pointS of view." Sheer· numbers, as well as JXllicy, account for the program's variety. Over 3,000 of rbe University's 20,000 students enroll in philosophy courses each semester - and they require a large and diversified faculty. This year, the department boasts a full-time teaching staff of 28 members whose multiple �(~ inrerescs range from Greek and medieval philosophy to mathematical logic and value theory. All 28 reach at borti the graduate and undergraduate levels. In addition, almost all find time co continue their own research - departmental publications for 1964-65 filled a'six-page bibliography. Many also have consider ble editorial responsibilities. For example, Distinguished Profemr Marvin Farber is editOr of Philo1ophy and Phenomenological Rew~rch, published here, ahd ediror of the American Lectures in Philosophy Series. Dr. Edward H . Madien serves as general editor of the fHarvard University Press Serie in rhe History of ch'e Scier;tces. Dr. Paul Kurtz dlrecrs the U. S. Editorial enter of the Bibliog'raphy of Philoiophy (UNESCO) which m ved here in 1965. Dr. Handy .serves as its associate director. But reaching is the department's pr.imary concern. Course offerings are ··as numerous as faculty interests. Even incoming f~e hme'n, so fre<}uenrly lim· ited co fundam~nral cou.r es in other programs, may choose from an ample list of electives,_induding an lntroduc. rion to social and political phil ophy. Advanced courses also reflect a wide range of tasr'~s. :rhis year, for example, the four most popular upper-level titles are philosophy of. religion, syml?<>lic logic, · philosophies of the recent past, and aesthetics and the philosophy of art. The curriculum continually expands. Recent additions include a course in the philqsophies of Africa and Asia, induding the Bantu philosophy of cen· rral Africa, taught by pr. Dale M. Riepe. Bantu thought, first systema· tized by a Belgian missionary priest, is a field of growing interest, Dr. Riepe says. He also directs a recently approved seminar in comparative philosophy in which s udenrs examine Wesrern and I !ami ideas along ide those of the Far East. Dr. Riepe has had rh opporruniry ro compare these non -Western philo · ophies first h nd . He s a visiting lecturer at Tokyo University on a Fulbright grant in 1957 nd 1958. On a~ earlier Fulbright, h attended the Unt· versicy of Madras, India. Thi umme.r he will travel ro Calcutta and Delht , India, tO begin a smdy of "Conrempo· rary Jndian Philosophy in irs Transacrions with the Wesc," under the auspices of the Amerl n Jnsriruce ol In· dian Studies. He recently finished a book entitled INDIA AND AMERIAN PHIL PHY, made pos ible by grants from the rate Univer i~y Research Foundation and the Amen c-an Philosophic I Society in Phil d J. phia. Dr. Riepe fore ees rime when the Univer icy may emerge as a major center for Asian studies, comparable ro the Univer ity of Hawaii which be t-Wesc visited during the Founh Philosophers Conference in 1964. In order to furrher multiply ir point of view, the depactmenr has undertaken a vi iting professors program. Next year, Mr. Shinjo N . Kaw-asaki, who worked wlrh Dr. R iepe at Tokyo University, will travel from Japan to join the staff. In addition, a di tinguished visiting professorship in philosophy has been established. It is hoped, says Dr. Handy, that the distinguished visiriog professors will be able ro communicate uncommon skills and interests. While in residen e, che vi icors will reach courses already in rhe curriculum to borh graduates and undergn.duates. They will also be invited to create new courses which reflect their own t res and strengths. The fir t of these vi iring hoJars, an expert in Orienral philosophy, will probably arrive in the Fall. While the compar rive philosophy prog(llm received special menti n in the 10-year academic plan, Dr. Handy emphasizes that it will not be de· veloped at the expense of ocher depanment21 projects. As he explained earlier, "We are crying to avoid spe· cialization" - a philosophy that at· tracts several thousand students each year.

Bur ouJd still wield for Miss Ruth Murphy, who is now Mrs. Ruth M. Walsh, a i ram ro che de of the hoot of Bu ines Admini rracion , there wa a h it ncy ro become an assistant of Mr. Will H . H y , who was Hollywood's czar fr m 1922 to 1945. Ic all began in 1946 when Ruth was a junior majoring in government t Columbia Univer ity' Barnard College. Mr. Hays, h was also once the Republican Party' national chairman, nd several other political figures, such Jim Farley and Ed Flynn, were in· vited tO lecture tO a CaS in the history of American polici al thought. The cou.rse was bein taught by Mr. Ray mond Moley, now the author of Neu,sfl'ltk's "Perspecti e," who was • U. S. assistant secretary of state under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Ruth, who was enrofied in the coursc, chose Mr. Hays as the subject for her rescatth paper and was encouraged by Mr. Moley to nd it to rhe former movie chief who was chen preparing his aurobiopphy . "I was ure that a m n of Mr. Hays' stature had better tbi.o to do with his time than read research papers," ys Ruth of her rhinkin.g in t~ days. Her th ughts were tr nsformd imo accion, r more rightly, into inaction, hen she o glected to send the type· ipc ro Mr. Hays. She doesn't know hy, but sh had a change of heart and fin lly nt lt out after several weeks' delay, still doubting there would be any response. To her surprise, Mr. H ys called her for a personal interview and on the recommendation ol Mr. Moley he was hired after gradua· cion as Hays' research assistant for the next 27 months. Ruth's associa.tion with Mr. Hays was strietly bu iness or, in t. manner of speaking, "policical." Her primary M 0 T J �colleague Searching .and Researching . responsibility was co canvass rhe 19001922 political career of Mr. Hay for his memoir . It was "a most rewarding experience," says Ruth, ro review the original file material on Mr. Hays' po· litical life; to corroborate with published accounrs the incidents which he diCtated tO her on thi period; to examine die "seem ingly inexhaustible" new paper files on Mr. Hays in the Los Angeles Public library; to talk informally to his friends and associates; and, finally, to prepare the first draft of the chapters covering his political era for the book entitled THE MEMOIRS OF WILL H. HAYS. The work was published in September, 1954, by Doubleday, following Hays' death in March of that year. Ruth also carne away from the Hoi· lywood scene with a knowledge of movie censorship. She hllS made the subject of ce0$0l'Ship a personal con· cern and is very much aware of irs ramiJicarions. At home she encourages her four school-age children to discuss whatever is on their minds without any worry of being censored. Herein lies the major reason she feels so strongly about a college education for women. Education was no stranger in the Murphy household in Utica, New York, and later in Kenmore, New York. Her £ather, a former engineer, and brother, a pathologist, were gr.tduared from the University of Michigan whHe her mother, who still lives in Kenmore, and her sister were, like her, graduated from Barnard. & her mother, Ruth will continue to stress the importance of higher education [0 her son and three daughters. Since she joined the University at BuffaJo in Septernhe!, 1960, Ruth's ac· tivities have been divided among teaching, graduate work, family respoosibplities and, starting in September, 1'964, the added responsibJlity of assisting 11 f Dean James S. 'Schindler of rhe School of Business Adminisuarion. In 1964, she also received her master's degree in English from the University. She joined the faculty with the rank of in· structor and h'as caught freshman and business English during the day and evening sessions. Her experience for several years in the .fields of manufacturing, advertising and public rela· rions, recailing, and commerce, and her marriage of a dozen years to Mr. John K. Walsh, an industrial representative, . have given· her keen insight into rhe problerp of communications in the business world. For Ruth, there is no conflict in reaching the rwo disciplines of business and English. "They rather complement each other," she says, adding, "You can be .just as creative with either form of writing." Creativity in Ruth's life encompasses culinary pursuits and woodcraft as well as writing. Her daily jaunts through the lunch line in the Faculty Club have earned her rhe reputation of "salad experr'' and "daily eggeater and eggtaster." Putting aside as "nonsense" the habit of some people to place a gender on certain avocations, Ruth pitches in when any remodeling is tO be done in her Snyder, N. Y., home. With her new job as the Dean's assistant, Ruth's teac.bing is now solely in Milla.rd Fillmore College. Her primary responsibility for the School of Business Administration is public relations and edicorial work. Each month she prepares a "book-size'' version of faculty activities ·within the School which serves as a reservoir for news releases and Colleag11e notes, as well as a monthly report. If ar times it seems as though the School of Business AdminiStration dominates the 'News of your Colleagues" section of the faculty monthly, it is probably because Mts. Ruth M.

Incorporating recent electron microscopic and chemical findings, this work is a compreh~nsive evaluation of ede· rna formation of the . brain. It contains cwrent knowledge .on the hemeostatls of the 'central nervous system with spe· cial regard ro the fluid and solute ex· change between blood and brai n and berween cerebral exrraceUular and in· tracellular compartments. The book also indufles a discussion of the types of experimental edemas emphasizing modern investigations on ulcrascruc· rural morphology and: chemical changes. Theories concerning the path· ogenesis of human brain edema as well as dle gross and microscopic anatomy of the swollen brain, clinical symproms of cerebr;ll edema and increased intracranial pressure in man, medical and surgical treatment of brain edema, and a bibliography of over 500 references round our the book·. The authors nore that the reiteration of some of the hypotheses concerning brain edema illustrates the profound gap that exiscs between the basic experimental findings and the clinical as· peers of the condition. Unci! the gap is dosed, in their opinion, cerebral edema in man will remain very much of an enigma. Much of the research incorporated into the rext was carried out in the Neur urgical Research Laboratory of the Buffalo General H S· pita! here Dr. Bakay is head of the Department of Neuro urgery and Or. tee is an assistant resea.c h neur urgeon.

Or. Riddel's book examines Steven ' poetry with regard ro his poetic theory. One umption of the auth r i that tevens' changes io ryle and id were progres ive and cumulative, that his poetic development was synony· mous with a growth in $elf-awareness. Thi growing, changing world (and self ) of Wallace cevell$ is ntdied here in five phases : poetic se.Jf-di overy; concern for the role of the poet ( or individual self) in the anti-poeti oUecrivistic, and dehumanized society of the 1930's; the transitional work which seek to define the nece icy for poetry and to record itS centrality in the indivjdual's struggle co retain se.Jf. identity in a continuously sterile mass society; the intellectual poetry of the 1940's; and the tneditative poetry of Stevens' last years. �Each chapter in chis work begins with a commentary on the hiscory, the informing choughc and characteristic mode of the poems to be examined. tevens' five periods are each introduced by the minor poems and synthesized in a long poem- the analysis of which provide both a climax to the chapter and a transition berween chapter . Dr. Riddel argues that Stev· ens "pur ued the human with an ener· gy and intrepidity unequaled in our rime" and that teven ' poetry i "the m t passionate humanist poetry of rhi century . . . ." Dr. Riddel joined th University in September, 1965, as an associate professor foUowing five year of service as an instructor and assi rant professor of English at Duke University.

Play reading sins the reader's imaginarion an opportunitY to create people and experiences our of a fabric of words. • \ The three plays reviewed here are ex· periences in " horror." The horror of Jove turned ro hatred, the horror of fratricide, and the horror of perversion. Most of the characters are aware of the horror in their lives and their inability 10 extricate rhem· t 13 selves. Only in ROSES are the main char· acrers unaware of rhe horror wruch is of their own malcing and which has already desrroyed rheir Jives. THE SUBJECT WAS ROSES has a simple plor and only three characters; a hus· band, a wife, and their only cruld, a son, whom they both adore. Arone time, a great Jove and anracrion bound rhis married couple bur rhe bond was destroyed a long time ago and only their son holds rhem rogerher now. The couple express their hatred of each orher through th'e ir son who is torn between them . The author also includes a daily journal of his innumerable failures to get ROSES produced u a play. This part would be in· teresring to ~young playwriters who would like to see their work produced on Broad· way . TINY ALICE is a unique and most unusual play. lr contains five characters who are commined ro a program of worship. A new dimension of faith and worship is developed as the main characters pursue their own personal interpretation of an idea. an unerly infantile idea, bur one ro which rhey are dedicated. A lay-brother, dedicated ro his idea of God >Lnd d~'Sirous of martyrdom, is secured as a bridegroom for Alice, a resident in a miniature house. He succeeds in martyring himself bur ro an idea that is abhorrent ro him. The play is brutal and blasphemous l!'d ir rook several readings for me to pertt•ve �and grasp iu magnirude. The .'action Is dtamaric and intriguing and' the beautiful balance of ·words intensifies the horror and brutality of the play. It should develop many discussions regarding interpretauoru and meanings of the sylfibols. In INCIDENT. AT VICHY, Arthur Miller explores man's responsibility to man and the evil that man allows to develop in his culrure. All of the action takes place in an official,.:detention room · in , Vichy, France. The ,dlatactt!rS have been p1cked up seeming!~ at random and are suspected of being Jews. The characters; as well as the reader, are aware of the horror and eventual liquidation that will overcome those wh have inadequa e identiftcation. The finaJ responsibility in this desperate siruation is acknowledged by the one person who is innocent through his own actions but guilty through lack of kn~wledge of the action of hh fellow citizens.

Since then, the situation. has chan8e<J in tlte narural sciences and has led to the general acceptance that the origin of life on Earth was not due to a " lucky chance" as previously believed. Life on Earth is a process governed by the laws of physics and chemistry. The action of 59me .form of energy and the accumulation of inorganic atoms led to the formation of a variety of organic compounds. After billions of years and many failures, the right molecules ·combined to form an organized system which led to the emergence of a primitive cell capable of reproduction.

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

J,., of 1h1 Sehool of ltf•Jiein•, -111 1h1 lim ;,. • STATB OF NEW Y01lK is the major source of future phy icians in the United States, bur only about two-thirds of them attend medical schools within the State. Last Septcm· ber, 134~ young men and women, rcsi· dents of the tate, entered United States medical schools. This group comprised 6fteen per cent of aJI enter· i g medical students; it was over twice t size of the ond largest cntcrin8 group which came from Pennsylvania. The ten medical schools in New York - three State University of New York and seven private - admitt~ 1100 students, of whom 791 were New York residents and the balaoee from other states. The Medical School at Bufftlo admitted 100 studentS, of whom 89 were residents and 11 were from our of state. Since the mcrJCr into the State University of New York, the School of Medicine has accepted wide new responaibili· tics which have broosht it more than ever into the national marker place of men and ideas. At the same time, the horizons of the School have been extended 8feitly. Simultaneously with the new look at BuffaJo and the reduced tuition rates in S.U.N.Y. ( $800 for New York residents and $1000 for non residents), there hu been a sharp upswin8 in the number of applications for admission to the School. This year, for example, over 1400 applications have alr~y been received for admission to the clua of 100 which will enter in September, 1966. Mosr of thete applications come from New York State residents who are now in their founh year of prcmedica1 education at diHercnr colleBeJ and univer· sitics all over the United Stares. Like most U.S. medical schools, Buffalo does not require the bachelor's dcBCCC, and approximately rcn per cent of each recent dus has ~d only three years of underpduate preparation. The increued competition for admissioo has Jed ro ICV· cral dcvelopmmrs. As mipt be expected, there has been a concomitant increase in the quality of rhe incomiDB dules u evidenced by objective criteria of ability and aptitude. The classes now in medical Khool arc the finest in many years. The:rc has also been a ge<>8f1phic shift in the ori3ins of our students. Before the merger, about two-thirds of our entering duses of 80 students came from Western New York. Now about two-thirds of our cntcrin8 daues of 100 students come from the eurcrn part of the Stare, primarily the metropolitan area. Since the Medical School has, for over a centulf, educated most of the physicians who have practiced in &e Western New York area, and has further. mort furnished a steady •flow of cootinuin" education for • 0 T H all area physicians, this shift in the pattern of origin of our students has led to some apprehension. Specifically, fears , have been expressed for the maintenance of an adequate future supply of physicians to the Western N.w York area. In an effort to be responsive to these needs, a Commission on Medical Manpower in Western New York has been appointed, consisting of distinguished physicians, educators, and laymen of the region. This Commission has embarked upon a study of the various factors that contribute to the ultimate decision by young physicians to practice in Western New York. This is only partly a matter of encouraging young Western New York high school students and premedical students to study medicine at Buffalo; it is also a problem of complex proportions involving the opportunities for postgraduate education in the University· affiliated hospitals, social, cultural, and economic affiliations, and local factors within communities and professional citdes. It is hoped that the efforts of this Commission will illuminate and identify ways by which the School of Medicine can act to help meet the future needs of the region. Admission applications begin to pour in after the beginning of the academic year in September, and the arduous task of the ten-man Admissions Committee begins. This year a preliminary "short form" application is being used for the first time. Following initial screening, serious contenders arc invited to file a complete application and submit supporting documents such as official transcripts and letters of recommendation. Candidares whose "short form" applications suggest they would not be serious contenders arc so advised, but arc allowed to submit complete applica· tions if they still desire to. In selecting medical studcms, the Admissions Committee looks for men and women who possess combinations of qualities which in the opinion of the Committee members augur well for academic success in medical school and for professional success in the ptacticc of medicine. Since there is no sure way of measuring either, the Committee assesses the combination of such diverse factors as aptitude, ability, character, motivation, maturity, stability, and fitness as de· vcloped from information in the completed application folder and the interview. With rare exceptions, aU students who arc admitted arc interviewed in Buffalo by the Com· minee. The intensive screening of candidates at the time of admission is the more important because it is the cxpecta· tion of rht faculty that aU 100 students who are admitted each ycir become physicians. Last year's September dass came frOm 47 different col· le3es. The lar3est delcption of students was the group of 11 who rook their premedical studies at the University at Buffalo. (One of the most disturbing trends in recent years has been a steady decline in the number of applicantS and in the number of acceptances from students in our own University.) There arc ten women in the present freshman "-'ill �( medical hiss. These students have embarked upon a. formal medi I school curriculum of four years, which for almost all will be followed by a yeu of internship and three to five years of specialty training. Foe most, the developing careers will be interrupted by two ye rs of miHtary service. Thi means that the present fl:eshman medical class wiU not assume fully responsible roles io m~icine until 1975 or so. Therein lies the great chollerig~ in medical education: at rhe present ratt of discovery and application of knowledge in medicine, the curriculum must provide the foundation and the framework for th'e body of knowledge which the student must himself build . Further, in keeping with this, rhe whole academic climate of medical school must be such as co fosrer in the student the development of personal qualities d habits that will make him a scholar-phy ician for the relt of his life. Medicihe is both a science and an art, and the curriculum reflects sharp contrasts 'In its presentations of these two aspects of the profession.. Science comes first, and in concentrated form. for the .first two years, there is a tight, concentrated sequence of basic m~kal sciences. Elective opportunities are signally absent. While each freshman student is assigned In groups of four ~ ·clinician-preceptors for weekly sessions, contacts with clinical medicine are few and far between. At the same time, the future importance the scientific Jraroey;ork being built is not always apparem. This is a real, rest of the patience and maturity of the highly motivated studeiu who can't wait to get the f~ling of clinical medicine. After the scientific base, the art of medicine is int.roduced and thereafter art and science run side by s_ide. This uansi1 ion begins in th middle of the sophomore year, and is \most welcome to the students who, almost without exception, take to it as duclcs take to water. The t.rl!nsition to clinical medicine is accelerated at the beginning of the third year of medical school when the student leaves the campus and takes up full-time activities under the aegis of the clinical departments of the Medical School which are almost entirely situated within the aJiiliated Univers~tY. hospitals. These include, in addition to the Veterans Adm}nisrrarion Hospital, the Buffalo Children's of I h, .Jmiuioru fHot•ll b"o"'" till ifuliflilltlill ,..,,, /M fHospwctiv• m•tliul school ~itltll•. tiJf Ho pltal, the Buffalo eneral Hospital, rhe E . J. Meyer Memorial Hospital and the MiJJard Fillmore Hospital. The University has an affiliation agreement with each of rhese ho pitals. By this device the complex relationships between Medical School and h pitals are de6ned, and the objectives of tea hins, r reb, and servi e lite maintained in mutually agree ble balance by ea h partner. The medical student entefing an affiliated teaching hospital encoumers a new environment in which one important element 1$ the hierarchy of re ponsibility for the care of the patient. At the apex of rhis is a physician-teacher, with responsibility fanning out through residents and interns to the student. Bur the new dimension here is the controllin responsibiliry of the physician f r the care of bis patient - a dimension .that wilJ mold the eth of the scud nt's professiona.l career. The third year curriculum i intended to provide ch student with opportunities to apply hirruell to individual clinical problems under careful guidan e. An important elem nt is the study of tbe original literature and the application of su h knowledge ro the indi idual case. The year is split up into four parts and the tudenrs rotat in gtoups of 16 through 12 weeks of medicine, 12 weeh of surgery, and six weeks of pediatrics and psyc;hiarry. In the fourth year, the gtot~ps arc reduced in size to ten tudenrs each, and the rotations onsist of eight weeks of medicine, SUt8f:ry, pediatrics, and obstecria and gynecology. A .fifth rotation is an eight-wedc electi e during which the srudent may elect intensive work from a lar81! number of offeri.fl8$, usually on an individual basis. The fourth year instruction consists of a series of clinical clerkshi.ps, a kind of junior internship, in which responsibility inc.teJ.ses further still, and more independent work is required of the student. The educationa.l stress is oo the continuity of experience within the preceptorial relationship. Consistent with thi,, formal didactic instruction is reduced ro only one and onehalf hours per ~k for tbe whole seolor class. A typical medical srudent at the Meyer Memorial Hospital oo his eisht-week medicine rotation is assigned to work with a medical resident, who in turn is respon iblc to a Jenjor physician. On the wards, the rudent takes medical histor· ies, does physical examinations, and usumes be&inning R•t..-11 te.,_.tll.J lfltU.Hfll .,.,. ,._ o- INip /WOfiiOI' " ._,, ;,, of liM.., u.JJ. ,.Jrr,,_. • �rcsporujJ)ility, under dose supervision, for designing and supervising the management of a f"" patients. When the resident is called to the emergency room, the srudent goes alOf\8 and can thus begin to participate in a continuity of care for patients on the service he is usigned to. During this time the student works every rwo or three nights on rotation and attends daily specialty conferences, centering on individual patient problems in areu such u endocrinology, cardiology, pulmooaty disease, renal disease, rehabilitation medicine and so forth . He also bt~ hia principal instruction in neurology while on this medical rotation, by attending neurology rounds and neurology conferences with the pro- · fessor of neurology. At the beginning of the fourth year the medial student faces the critical decision concerning plans for his internship year. Although there are many more openings than there are gradu.tes, tome internships are more popular than ochen. Accordingly, each student makes application to tev· eral internship pro~ foUowing consultation with the istant dean and members of the faculty. For the .6nal decision the srudent depends upon the National Incemship Match · Plan which matches stUdent's desires against in· ternship program choices. There are many considerations that go into the choice of an internship. There is the question of the type of hospital, be it a university-affiliated reaching holpital, a community hospiral, or a government hospiral. There is also the maner of location. Most students consider the internship in relation to their plans for specialization in the residency yean. This in rum leads to decisions u to type of internship, such u medical, pediatric, surJia.l, rocatin&, and 10 forth. Lut June 69 srudeots rc· ceived their M.D. dqrea from Buffalo. They took their internships ar 42 di!erent hospitals in 16 states. The litt of hospitals included lOme of the finest teiChins bolpitals in the United StateS. Each year, many students elect to mice their internship in Buffalo holpitals; last year this decision wu made by 29 memben of the clau. The internship matchin& results are announced in the spring of the ICilior year in Medical School and the occasion is one of great excitement for the student. This iJ followed shortly thereafter by the c:ornmcocement exercises, after MJiul n.Mrw, ;,_, .U ~ ,._. W1iU U.W.1 ~ ;, ,.. u.._,;,, .,_,. ~. which most srudents depart' for the last long vacation they will have for many years. The internships begin on the first of July. Since a decision must be reached regarding the residency training program very soon after emb.rking on the internship, many students, while still on vacation, .t.it hospitals which provide residency prognms of interest to them. The education of undergraduate medical students is but a part of the educational program of the Medical School faculty. The School also has the responsibility, through its faculty members and the affiliated hospitals, for the pduate education programs of over 500 interns and residents. In addition, more than 120 pre- and post-doetoral students (Ph.D. and M.D.) are engaged each year in the research programs of the Medical and Dental 'School basic science departments. 1be new University Health Center and University hospiral now belng planned have far reaching implications for improving undergraduate medical education at Buffalo. At the present time the Medical School is handicapped by the lack of clinia.l facilities under the University's direct control and also by the physical separation of the exceUent basic science facilities in Sherman and Capen Halls on the campus and rhe clinical departments in the affiJiated hospi· rals. As already noted, this leads to difficult uanshions in the curriculum and deprives the School of many important advantages which would accrue from intimate usociations between faculty members of diJferent disciplines. When completed, the clinical facilities in the University hospital will supplement rather than replace the superb clinical teaching facilities in the present afliliated hospitals. In addition, however, the University hospital will serve as the locus for important new curriculum developments designed to provide a smoother transition between the basic science yean and the clinical derkships in the affiliated hospitals. Even more than this, however, the University hospital, by providing similar educational funaions for the sister schools in the Health Center, wilJ give to tomorrow's physicians intimate usociations, based upon working and studying together, with the ocher prdfessions which comprise the health team. • Tw elM• ,._..,_,._, ,..,~ ;, uniM ;,,.

SMrgMor, all area physicians, this shift in tlfe pattern of origin of our students has led to some apprehension. Specifically, fear~ have been expressed for the maintenance of an adequate future supply of physicians to the Western New York area. In an effort to be responsive to these needs, a Commission on Medical Manpower in W~stern New York has been appointed, consisting of distinguished physicians, educators, and laymen of the region. This Commission has embarked upon a study of the various factors that contribute to the ultimate decision by young physicians to practice in .Western New York. This is only partly a matter of en~ouraging young Western New York high school students and premedical students to study medicine at Buffalo; it is also a problem of complex proportions involving the opportunities for postgraduate education in the University· affiliated hospitals, social, cultural, and economic affiliations, and local factors within communities and professional circles. It is hoped that the effQrts of this Commission will illuminate and identify ways by which the School of Medicine can act to help meet the future needs of the region. Admission applications begin to pour in after the beginning of the academic year in September, and the arduous task of the ten·man Admissions Commirree begi~. This year a preliminary "short form" application is being used for the first time. Following initial screening, serious con· tenders are invited to file a complete application and submit supporting documents such as official tranSCripts and letters of recommendation. Candidates whose "short form" applications suggest they would not be serious contenders are so advised, but are allowed to submit complete applications if they still desire to. In selecting medical students, the Admissions Committee looks for men and women who possess combinations of qualities which in the ~ion of the Committee members augur well for academic success in medical school and for professional success in the practice of medicine. Since there is no sure way of measuring either, the Commirtee ~ the combination of such diverse factors as aptitude, ability, character, motivation, maturity, stability, and fitness as developed from information ip the completed application folder and the interview. With rare exceptions, all students who are admitted are interviewed in Buffalo by the Commirree. The intensive screening of candidates at the time of admission is •the more important because it is the expectation of the faculty that aU 100 students who are admitted each year will become physicians. Last year's September class came frOm 47 different colleges. The largest delegation of studentS was the group of 11 who topk their premedical studies at the University at Buffalo. \(One of the most disturbing trends in recent years has been a steady decline in the numl:ier of applicantS and in the number of acceptances from srudents in our own University.) There are ten women in the present freshman J,,., of 1h1 Sthool of M1ditin1, m~~rlu th1 fir~t in 11 """ on the fivl Schoo/J which compri11 1h1 Univ.,sily's H111l1h C1nter.) T H B STATE OF NEW YORK is the major source of future physicians in the United States, but only about two-thirds of them attend medical schools within the State. Last Septem· ber, 1345 young men and women, resi· dents of the State, entered Unjred States medical schools. This group comprised fifteen per cent of all enter· ing medical students; it was over rwice the size of the second largest entering group which came from Pennsylvania . The ten medical schools in New York - three State University of New York and seven private - admitted 1100 students, of whom 791 were New York resJ<lents and the balance from other states. The Medical School at Buffalo •dmitted 100 students, of whom 89 were residents •nd 11 were from out of state. Since the Jt!erger into the State University of New York, the School o( Medicine has llCCepted wide new responsibilities which have brought it more than ever into the national market place of men and ideas. At the same time, the horizons of the School have been extended greatly. Simultaneously with the new look at Buffalo and the reduced tuition rates in S.U .N .Y. ($800 for New York residents and $1000 for non residents), there has been a sharp upswing in the number of applications for admission to the School. This year, ·for example, over 1400 applications hne already been received for admission to the class of 100 which will enter in September, 1966. Most of these applications come from New York State residents who are now in their founh year of premedical education at different colleges and universities all over the United States. Like most U .S. medial schools, Buffalo does 0()( require the bachelor's degree, and approximately ten per cent of each recent class has had only three years of undergraduate prep1tration. The increased competition for admission has led to leV· eral developments. As might be expected, there has been a concomitant incrttse in the quality of the incoming classes as evidenced by objective criteria of ability and aptitude. The cluses now in medical Khool ue the finest in many years. There has also been a geographic shift in the origins of our students. Before the merger, about two-thirds of our entering classes of 80 students came from Western New York. Now about rwo-thirds of our entering classes of 100 students come from the eastern part of t.he Srate, primarily the metropolitan area. Since the Medical School hu, for over a century, educated most of the physicians who have practiced in the Western New York area, and has furthermore furnished a steady ·flow of continuing education for 1 �( medical class. These students have embarked upon a formal medical school curri ulum of four years, which for almost all will be followed by a year of internship and three ro five years of specialty training. Fpr most, the developing careers will be interrupted by rwo · years of military service. This means rhar rhe present he hman medical class will not assume fully responsible roles in medicine until 1975 or so. Therein lies rhe great challenge in medical education : at the present rare of discovery and application of knowledge in medicine, the curriculum must provide the foundation and the framework for the body of knowledge which the student must himself build. Further, in keeping with this, the hole academic climate of medical school mu t be such as fo foster in the student the development of personal · qu~lities and ha~its char will make him a scholar-physician for the rest of his life . . Medicine is borh a science and an art, and the curriculum reflects sharp contrasts in its presentations of these rwo as· peers of the profession . Science comes first, and in concentrated form . For the first two years, there is a tight, concen· traced sequence of basic medical sciences. Elective oppor· runities are signally absent. While each freshman student is a'Ssigned in groups of four tO clinician-preceptors for weekly sessions; .contacts . with clinical medicine are few and far between .' At the same time, the future importance of rhe scientifi~ framework being built is nor always ap· parent. This is a real test of the patience and maturity of . the highly mOtivated student who can't wait co get the feeling of clinical medicine. After rhe.__scientific base, the arc of medicine is inuoduced and thereafter art and science run side by side. This rransi· rion begins in the middle of the sophomore year, and is rriosr.welcome co the students who, almost wirhout exception, take to it as ducks take co water. The transition to clinical medicine is accelerated at the beginning of the . third year of medical school when the student leaves the campus and ta.kes up full-time activities under the aegis of the clinical depactmenrs of the Medical Sc;hool ~hid\ are almost entirely situated within the affiliated University hospitals. These include, in addition co the Veterans Adminisuarion . Hospital, the Buffalo Children's The lllimiuions proC'u becomu 11n indit-id1141 m•IIH for the prosprctille medic•/ uhool ct~ndidtlfe. Hospital, the Buffalo eneral Hospital, the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital and the Millard Fillmore Hospital. The University has an affiliation agreement with each of these hospitals. By this device the complex relationships between Medical School and hospitals arc defined, and the objectives of teaching, research, and service are maintained in mutually agreeable balance by each partner. The medical srudent entering an ffiliated teaching hospital encounters a new environment in which one important element is the hierarchy of responsibility for the care of the patient. At rhe apex of this is a physician-reacher, with responsibility fanning out thr ugh resident and Interns to rhe student. But the new dimension here is the controlling responsibility of the phy ician for the care of his patient - a dimension that will mold the ethos of the student's professional career. The third year curriculum is intended to provide each student with opportunitie to apply himself co individual clinical problems under c reful guid nee. An important ele· menr i the study of the original literature and the application of such knowledge co the individual case. The year is split up inco four parrs, and the students rotate in groups of 16 through 12 weeks of medicine, 12 weeks of surgery, and six weeks of pediatrics and psychiatry. ln the fourth year, the groups are reduced in size to ten rudents each, and the rotations ·consist of eight weeks of medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and ob retries and gynecology. A fifth rotation is an eight-week elective during which rhe srudent may elect intensive work from a large number of offerings, usually on an individual basis. The fourth year instruction consists of a series of clinical derkships, a kind of junior internship, in which responsibility increases funher still, and more independent work is required of the srudenc. The educational tre s is on the continuity of experience within rhe preceptorial relationship. Consistent with this, formal did ctic insuuction is reduced ro only one and onehalf hours per week for the whole senior class. A typical medical student at the Meyer Memorial Hospital on his eight-week medicine rotation is assigned to work with a medical resident, who in turn is responsible co a senior physician. On che wards, the student takes medical hisror· ies, does physical examinations, and assumes beginning R•gt~lllrly ubed.J,d lt~ncheons u.-itb th• D'""' b1lp fHOmou ing of stt~dent needs. 11 b'JIH ,.,Jnstllflli· ' �responsibility, under dose supervlSion, for designing and supervising the management of a few patients. When the resident is called to the emergency room, the student goes along and can thus begin to participate in a continuity of care for patients on the service he is assigned to. During this time the student works every rwo or three nights on rotation and attends daily specialty conferences, centering on individual patient problems in areas such as endocrinology, cardiology, pulmonary disease, renal disease, rehabilitation medicine and so forth. He also has his principal instruction in neurology while on this medical rOtation, by attending neurology rounds and neurology conferences with the professor of neurology. At the beginning of the fourth year the medical student faces the critical decision concerning plans for his internship year. Although there are many more openings than there are graduates, some internships are more popular than others. Accordingly, each student makes application to several internship programs following consultation with the assistant dean and members of the faculty. For the final decision the student depends upon the National Internship Matching Plan which matches student's desires against in· ternship program choices. There are many considerations that~o into the choice of an internship. There is the question of the type of hospital, be it a university-affiliated teaching hospital, a community hospital, or a government hospital. Theel is also the matter of location. Most students consider the internship in, relation to their plans for spe· cialization in the residency years. This in turn leads to decisions as to type of internship, such as medical, pediatric, surgical, rotating, and so forth. Last June 69 students received their M.D. degrees from Buffalo. They took their internships at 42 different hospitals in 16 states. The list of hospitals included some of the finest teaching hospitals in the United Stares. Each year, many students elect to take their internship in Buffalo hospitals; last year this decision was made by 29 members of the class. The internship matching results are announced in the spring of the senior year in Medical School and the occasion is one of great excitement for the student. This is followed shortly thereafter by the commencement exercises, after M,Jictll st.Jffis, irttms tmtl r,siJnm shn' b,JsiJ, opport•flilitJ ;, th, urv,rsily·•ffiJUittl hospiltllJ. ,,_;,g which most students depart for the last long vacation they will have for many years. The internships begin on the first of July. Since a decision muse be reached regarding the residency training program very soon after embarking on the internship, many students, while still on vacation, visit hospitals which provide residency .programs of interest to them. · The education of undergraduate medical students is bur a parr of rhe educational program of the Medical School faculty. The School also has the responsibility, through irs faculty members and the affiliated hospitals, for the graduate education programs of over 500 interns and residents. In addition, more than· 120 pre- and post-doctoral students (Ph.D. and M.D. ) are engaged each year in the research programs of rhe Medical and Dental School basic science departments. The new University Health Center and University hospital now being planned have far reaching implications for improving undergraduate medical education at Buffalo. At · the present time the Medical Scbool is handic!lpped by the Jack of clinical facilities under the University's direct con· trol and also by the physical separation of the excellent basic science facilities in Sherman and Capen Halls on the campus and rhe clinical departments in the affiliated hospitals. As already noted, this leads to difficult transitions in the curriculum and deprives the School of many important advantages which would accrue from intimate associations between faculty members of different disciplines. When completed, the clinical facilities in the University hospital will supplement rather than replace the superb clinical reaching facilities in the present affiliated hospitals. In addition, however, the University hospital will serve as the locus for important new curriculum developments designed to provide a smoother transition between the basic science years and the clinical derkships in the affiliated hospitals. Even more than this, however, the University hospital, by providing similar educational functions for the sister schools in the Health Center, ·will give to tomorrow's physicians intimate associations, based upon wotking and studying tO· gether, with the other professions which comprise the health ream. 8 · Th' clost u~~&h"·st.uln~t rwl.timubip ,, cMriu irtlo th' clirtictll '''"s.

ONE •••• EHERCISES EL EVEN TEN Exercise is vital! Basically for a muscle to survive, to maintain its capacity to perform - it musr experience work (activity) . Through vigorous physical activity rhe muscle will maintain a state of ronus, will increase in strength, and will improve in endurance and efficiency. With· out activity the muscle will lose tonus, will atrophy and eventually lose its capacity to perform. I. How to determine yo11r f"esent stale of fitneu. To assist in determining your present state of fitness, answer the following questions objectively. 1. If you are confronted with an unusual situation which calls £or the immediate output of physical energy, what is your capacity to recuperate from the experience? Fitness implies not only the acquisition of certain physical skills but also the ability to withstand the emergency ·demands of every day living, · 2. Can you meer your daily responsibilities and still have energy in reserve to enjoy the pleasures of your family, evening entertainment, hobbies or emergencies that may arise? 3. The final question is a touchy one. Not only do fit people have fun and gain satisfaction in their skiiJs - they look good. How do you regard your overaJJ physical appearance and bearing? Narcissism can be overdone and often is, but honest pride in one's appearance is socially acceptable. People spend time and money on their appearance and yet pretend they do nor care. Nonsense! This is not an admission of a crime. Why nor look better? The only practical, and probably the most economical way is through a fitness program. II. BaJic Auumptions. I operate under rhe following basic assumptions: 1. Regardless of present physical condition we can all profit from a properly prescribed NINE FOR THE program of exercise. I can guarantee that each person can show improvement within the scope of his own limitations. 2. Exercise can and should be fun! There is but one sound reason for exercise - fun! There are many dividends from fitness to be sure. But these benefits are "extras" - they are bonuses for people who derive pleasure from participating in an exercise program. 3. Not aJJ of us have the time, the inclination, or the ability to participate daily in a sport activity. As a substitute for those who do not rake parr in sportS and also to enhance the program of those who do, may I offer "Serf's Daily Dozen". May this be your first step towards an improvement in all-around body conditioning and improved flexibility. III. Suggestions on How to Approach the "Daily Dozen." 1. If you have any doubt as to your capability ro undertake an exercise program, see your medical adviser. 2. Don't overdo your workout in the beginning. You might find yourself waking up stiff and sore (this is your body's way of letting you know how relatively inactive your muscles have been). Build up gradually and you will find yourself able to tolerate more and mor• exercise. 3. You should not perform in fast, vigorous or highly competitive physical activity without gradually developing, and continuously maioraining, an adequate level of physical fimess. The keynote of an exercise program is ro build up your tolerance through a progressively more demanding program. Starr slow and build up momentum through the weeks. 4. When the following exercises have been learned, to derive greater pleasure and to improve the rhythm of the exercise, try adapting them ro music. Let your taste in music be your guide (from Bach to rod: 'n' rolJ) but be sure ro select a tempo that will march your capabilities. �TWO DESH -BOUND PROFESSOR 1 "ARM.

' Most of these remarks by Dr. Fiedler were made over a recent national television broadcast. Intrigued by his icono. clastic views, the edimr of PAGEANT MAGAZINE sent writers ro interview him and recently published the results of their inquiries. In the special 14-page section of PAGEANT, Dr. Fiedler says that universities are not preparing their srudents to cope with ". . . the problem of what co do with long, arid deserr stretches of rime .. :· which are and will continue ro be brought about by the machine age. The real problem of the univer iry, he says, is not to prepare people for job , but to prepare them to live in a world where boredom is going ro have to be something they face both in and out of school : "I think this ·s one of the rhings kids are trying to learn ro do .. . deal ith the problell) of more time than human beings ever pad.'' He feels there hould be mass educari n for leisure instead of mass education for work. The boredom, according to Dr. Fiedler, is attributable to the survival of an old school system : "What the school reaches when ir's mosr successful seems ro students less and less relevant ro the kinds of lives they live - and, especially, would like ro live. And l suppose boredom comes when whar you're doing seems irrelevant to you and to your longterm purposes." It comes too wirh uninteresting and disinterested college and university teachers who, according ro Dr. Fiedler, make up an estimated 97 to 98 per cent of a faculty . He does nor, however, excuse the student from being dull. Most teachers and srudents are dull, he feels, because it is a necessary statistical consequence of their higher numbers : "You're going to have to begin with this as a fact of life." That f ct would nor be altered by a smaller faculty-student ratio because he thinks that what's involved is that the Congress last March, President Johnson said that, "... Education is the prime developer of ... ability to use leisure time more enjoyably and to attain a higher level of life generally ..." Per~a~s th~ President was a bit roo po itive about education's role. While no one v.:ould~ disiigree rhar this should be an objective of education, Dr. Leslie Fiedler argues that ir is nor, ar least not in a university. "The university has become more and more like television: an institution that pretends that irs function is ro overcome boredom, bur it really institutionalizes boredom," says the ..., famous social and literary critic· author who is currently a professor of English ar the Univer iry. A reacher who has spent a quarter of a century on the faculties of Princeton, Columbia, Indiana, Monrana State and rhe Univer ities of Wisconsin , Vermont, Rome, Bologna, and Athens, Dr. l'ietller Fiedler wonders whether or om he may be working in a now obsolete institution. "What the elders in society are always saying ro the srudeor when he asks questions about staying in school is, 'Yeah, bur what are you going to do?' The real problem is what is the human being going ro be, not what he's going to do," he says. Because the university brainwashes srudents into believing that the purpose of life is to .have a vocation, and because it has failed to do what it boasts it will do, srudenrs begin to protest and demonstrate, says the professor. I N HIS MANPOWER REPORT to 6 �ideal classroom for one professor is not the ideal for another : "I think it (the university) should provide the widest variety possible. Bur they're (universities) always imposing a certain idea on people by force. There are some people to whom it would be cruel to demand rhat they reach small groups.'' Uninterested in being approved by students or in pretending co be on their side in any question, Dr. Fiedler believes that a professor should present to students a point of view that belongs to his own generation in general and co himself specifically. Furthermore, the students should come to terms with this one way or another and rhe professor in turn must come ro terms with the new ideas of rhe srudenr : "Certainly rhe beuer reachers go inro a classroom nor jlist to pur a certain amount of information into the minds of their students bur to rest themselves, to see if they are capable of stirring interest in things they themselves feel interesting r to see if what they have to say is still relevant to the eople out in front." . One can hardly take issue with the PAGEANT editors who wrore that Dr. Fiedler, as a father of six children, has an understanding of youth that extends beyond aca- deme. The young people, according to Dr. Fiedler, are raking on an attitude which demands a fundamental revision of the whole history of the West from the rime of Renaissance on. Comparing the attitude wirh rhe rational approach of rebellious ·students of ocher generations, he said that "... what you get now is a revolt against humanism itself, a revolt against reason itself, and an attempt ro really break through to a new type of human being." This latter remark points up the observations of last month's psy. chiarric guest lecturer who noted char some of the criteria of sexual identification are becoming blurred, indicating. a search for a new identity rtlar is different from society's elders. This breakdown was described by rhe lecturer as "partly an expression of protest and rebellion and partly a display of independence on the part of the adolescents of borh sexes against the adult world." The slogans of rhe new proresr are of particular interest ro Dr. Fiedler. The first slogans of the Berkeley demonstrations were the traditional ones, he points our. Bur in the second stage of the revoir the banners had a single obscene word on them, "as if this were rhe only proper response ro the world that those students saw in front of them." The absolutely pure ultimate rebellion or proresr, he thinks, was �l ( system above and beyond present college and graduate school where real higher education will take place: "... the graduate schools try to do it, but do it quite inefficiendy I What Dr. Fiedler has in mind is "some place at the end of the line for very few people, a place where a few students can work with professors who are in areas that they're particularly interested in, with a kind of masterdisciple relationship-doing real problems of research or scholar hip or creative work or critical activity or whatever." The student, in his opinion, is uuly educated in the deepest sense of the word only when his life is transformed. And chis only happens when the student sees the teacher as the example of a human being to whom learning or information or knowledge is really importanr~humanly important. The student is then ready to make literature or physics or history or whatever the center of his life. "And what the teacher exists for in the university is to provide such a model of the committed man." f course, Dr. Fiedler readily admits that a loving, motherly attitude can be just as harmful to the student as the punishing f ther attitude. "There are as many kinds of situations in the clas room as there are psychological types. Some teacher like to be Uncle, and some Like to be Mother, and some like to be Papa, and some are sibling rivals fighting it out with the kids. Maybe the kind of people that end up in grade school is changing a little now. But you know, it used to be possible to make an analysis in the most simple-minded Freudian way: They were just people who wanted to take sexual revenge on children." Sometimes referred to as the "Freud of literary criticism," Dr. Fiedler obviously uses his psychological and sociologiQ.I insight on the concept of schools. The schools, he says, are one of the traditional ways in which our society prolongs adolescence more and more. As humanity has developed, people have been allowed to stay adolescent-nor quite mature--for a longer and longer time. "As a matter of fact, there are many students now who want ro withdraw from the university because they don't need the excuse of the university to prolong that adolescence. They're willing to do it outside of it." Asked by the PAGEANT interviewer if European univer· sities serve any more useful functions than ours do, Dr. Fiedler answered : "American universities are without doubt the best in the world now. But they're ~pretty poor best. European universities are, generally speaking, anywhere from two to three to 15 or 20 generarlons behind us. They are now just beginning to face up to the problem of mass education, and if they don't learn by our mistakes, they're going to have to make them all before they get there." If a small facuJty-srudent ratio won't cure the major ills of burgeoning enrollments and the impersonal nature of the vast American university, what then? 'What may be true, in faa, is that the entire system of the university is an obsolete notion. Maybe we ought to scrap the whole deal and begin to rethink it in a completdy . the placards raised with nothing on them : "I've run into a lot of kids who have a feeling that when you talk, words betray you, becau5e the words were all invented by people who had a different system of values and a different way of looking at me world." For a long time, Dr. Fiedler felt dismayed when one of his !?righter students - one not vocationally committed or career:-arienred - one, perhaps, that was protest-prone dropped out of school. Now, instead of feeling that a dropout is symbolic of a condemnation of himself and the system to which he has committed his life, he tells the students to "go away and. go away fast. Better ... to get out and try to do .i\ano er way." For those who need reminding that "college is certainly not a necessity" and "not the sole means of education," Dr. Fiedler notes that very iinelligenc and sensitive people are coming to realize more and more - and should realize -that not every one should go to college: "There are many alternative methods of educating yourself. And the kids are learning now to find those methods." But the university should be willing to take in anybody who wants to go for as lopg a time as he wants to stay, he believes. ''What we should encourage is a dawning awareness on the part of people." Dr. F~edler doesn't believe that aearing college standards to a mass average, thereby admitting an ineligible student, is a problem of higher education. "We're the first country in the world to try this on a large scale. All of Western and Eastern Europe, I think, will follow in our footsteps. · More and more people are going to be educated for more and more yean. It's an economic necessity now, as well as everything else. You have to keep students off the labor market to the time they're 17, 21, 25." This, to him, however, is not higher education but longer education. He recommends establishmenr of some kind of ~w~ 8 • �... meet your campus colleagues -- Dr. ToulfJJ!fUI (wilh rlliwl /i.st) eorul11&1J " dns ;, '"' "W.., there • lml t~grentNfllllftWfll the •rhilers of fl~bli& jamin Town1end, writing on Clyiford Still.) ) t~e an~ o~ to resist sli?gs arrows outfonune w1th.

"Was there a tacit agreement among the arbiters of good taste?" Dr. Townsend should know bener than most. 'The apocalyptic fervor and dogmatism of his few published manifestoes." Things like that Dr. Townsend also wrote about Oyfford Still, the great American painter. "Intimidated no doubt by his reputation as a formidable, inaccessible person .. ," . "A militant humanist and a new kind of uiumphant romantic .. ," It is possible that when Dr. Townsend talks this way he is really talking about som~ projection of himself. It is a point he would deny, no doubt vehemently. He is almost shy about himself, an unpretentious person, unself-laudaco.ry, given to an exalted view of things around him: not that he has no uuck with criticism, be does; just that things look a litde enlarged when seen through his eyes: "It is a time for a synthesis of knowledge and intellec-rual exploration . . . the breaking down of barriers: that goes for the artS and sciences. Relativism is an idea with wide applica~ions. Einstein, Whitehead, Cubism, all are expressions of relativistic docuine. We are now in the process of re-shuftling concepts of reality once more. This change will bring a change in human activity. That's a definition of revolution. You know revolutions are sometimes painful, awkward, maybe even mistaken. But they are healthy aren't they." ~us ,..,,•.•. ?" (J. Ben· Or. J. Benjamin Townsend became very interested in art. He calls an his avocation, his middle-age love affair, his second wife. Dr. Townsend is a professor of English. At first, his avocation looks like an escape hatch on the submarine of Academe : "Maybe I fell in love with art because I was afraid of becoming a stodgy old professor, drying up and withering away in the comfort of my own tenure. That does happen in the university, doesn't it." But this second love turns out to be a rather coherent journey in the mind; Dot a hallucinogen to resparlc the bUJ'ned out fuse of university liviDg, but a continuing indication of a man alive, of activity saved from the limits of its own boundaries.

Dr. Townsend, ·director of the master of arts in the humanities program, on the m~mber's advisory council of Albright-Knox Art Gallery, a member of the conducror's committee of the Buffalo Philharmonic, vice-president of the Srate University of New York at Buffalo chapter of the American Association of University Professors, says : "One thing is certain. The university cannot be the elephant burial ground of knowledge." That sort of statement is conditional. One might reply "yes it can." But Dr. Townsend means it can't if it is to fulfill t e role already assigned to it. (assumed by it? forced on It is an arena. now. Maybe that isn't the right image." (Dr. Townsend spe,aks •in images, perhaps lives in im ges. He marks Clylfor.d Still by saying "in his work, from beginning tO end, he the 3ftist is the image and the sole source of imagery.") "T~e university is where knowledge happens, and only peripherally where it is scored." He calked abour .:'Hubbqb/' the recent electronic artisric event that rook place in the student union. He said thar it had the nice quality of being an intentional assault on the ·· audience. Dr. Toymsend felt finally that it was amateur and inconclusive, ·bu t a good thing ro have happen here : 1 "Why does somethihg ·like this take plac-e ar the university? The university is rea.lly a kind of Brave ew orld. .It is isolated from the pressures of the conventional and the commercial society. A university is a proco-utopia. lr is a limited socic:_ty, and therefore, it is possible to orgaoae and syntht:si:re and incorporate all human a.cri icy. "The configuration and srrucrure of sociery will rake on co'm mon goals - goals in a real sense - goals oucside of what we have coti-te to define as rhe national and political structure.' The universiry is fertile for tbe artist. h gi es him freedo~ of opportunity, stimulus, unlimited performance, alert young audiences, and doesn't ask him ro answer to rhe orthodoxy or ro commerce for what he does." rhe . uhiversity oncerns Or. Townsend. It is, afrer all , at least the metaphorical boundary he has set for himself, the "field" he has chosen -ro cultivate : "In the past we trained people in one area of the humanities. More and more this seems like an arbitrary and unprofiral>le arrangement - and one that few people are yet willing ro reject on the institutional level. We are only now beginning ro emerge from the era of specialaation that was the rule of the Ger~an university. We may be emering a period of reacrion . Human history seems ro be a process of hitting the golden mean while commuting between the extremes. "We can't exclude specialization. Bur the rime of the dilettante is gone. We no longer admire the woman who c n play the piano badly, knit fairly well, write silly poetry, paint srill-lifes. The same is rrue of the universiry person . He can't dabble in anything. "Bur how does he avoid srricr specialization? What makes it possible for him to diversify his interests are the reams, the field worker , and as Marshall McLuhan calls them, 'the e.l(tensions of the limb and faculties:' the typewriters, computers and ocher instruments of technology. There is no need to honor the old boundaries of knowledge." Dr. Town end eems to have formulated these thoughts through his "second wife." The Creative Associates and the kinetic artists are ex· amples of what he calls, admiringly, "this primitive ten · dency ro avoid barriers." "These artistS realign with other spheres : business, science, even the universlry. They answer the needs of people who in wealthy countries can alford the satisfaction art gives. "Art has become communal, public, ritualistic, cere· monial, religious in the true sense of the word . Put an· other way, art has become primitive. We even have ban· oer painting. This is surprising because of the loss of what we called an ordered univer e. "We are on the black side of the moon now, in the rea_lm of ideas : nihilism, existenrialism. In the arts we have the theater of the ab urd, rhe theater of cruelty, alienation, rhe anti -novel, defian e of normality, of convention, even of good taste, as in rhe "Camp" am. Some people call this the nadir. Bur that may be the last gasp of the private conscience - "how am I with my Lord" - rhar old Puritan hangover. ''A .p ublic conscience be8ins ro emerge. In all this actis· ric activity, I find a sense of joy, celebration, gaiery, buoyancy. We are actually coming out of the dark night of the soul. I know that sounds sentimental. "Here's the important point. The more the arts move cowards scientific knowledge, the more they also move towards the primitive." The journey was nearing an end. "lr occurs ro me char this breaking of barriers, made pos· sible by technology, wiU lead to some startling changes in the way we lead our lives. People won't live in houses, bur in sculptures. Going to the supermarket will be much like going to a concert, or an arc gallery. You go shopping and rake in, a lecture at the same rime. You rake your fruit from a piece of art. Look at the Guggenheim. That isn't really an act gallery. In fact, the paintings distract you from rhe true object of attention . That building is a sculpture. That's been said before, hasn't it." Or. Townsend said : "Man musr be more prorean and timely. He must preserve in himself the vitality that he finds so attractive in the young. He must, like them, be able ro penetrate to the center of the issue with the same wit .and candor.

In an elegant and humane presentation of the development of Greek rhetorical theory and practice, Professor Kennedy stresses a pattern of importance to our times. His rumple is confined ro the teaching of public peaking, but ir is easily transferred ro the whole educational enterprise. It is simply this : that as the rules which students were asked to learn became more and more neatly organ!~ the society Itself lost force .

Her analysis of motives is necessarily speculative but would he more convincing were it not for her trick of bullying the reader by implying that disagreement with her view Is a si30 of moral or political perversion. But at least there is no support for Lawrence's hysteria. Instead, there is a cobcrenr viewpoint on the vulnerability of modern societies to disloyalty. GeorJe Orwell. NINETEEN EIGHTYFOUR.

T his book is Faulk's account of his subsequent libel sui t against AWARE.

I have hcen readi ng this book ever si nce my college days when, one Christmas, my sister and I coincidentally presented each other with copies of it. frost can he stern, fljncy, severe - but he is not shrill or martial ; he can he clear and warm without bei ng merely '"inspiring;'" he can offer technical brilliance without flashiness and ambiguity without obscurity. For me there is an added personal reward in these poems with their reminders of the best qualities of the natives of my New England boyhood-humor, reserve, and sensitivity never Raunred but nonetheless acute. Leonard W. Levy. FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND PRESS IN EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY: LEGACY OF SUPPRESSION. H~~r/1" Torchbooks. 196J. James Alexander. A BRIEF NARRATIVE .OF THE CASE AND TRIAL OF JOHN PETER ZE~GER. Edited by Stanly Nider Kau. The Be/k,..p Press o/ H~~rJIIIf"d u,.;vttf'sily Press. 1963. These two books provide a startling reassessmt'nt of the origins of American liberties. This new ed ition of the Zenger trial • m•kes it clear that the case of the printer of The Neu• York Wt~dly }o*"'"' did not, as the conventional histories tell us, establish an important precedent or represent the triumph of any popular desire for civil liberty. Professor Levy's book goes further. In a brilliantly comprehensive argument, he shows that the chief oppont'nts of liberty in colonial times were nnt royal judges but popular assemblies and that the First Amendment was not intended by the Founders as a repeal of the common law of seditious libel. l..ny, himself a civil libertarian, argues that libertarians will have to argue for expandt'd liberties on the grou~ds that they are desirable rather than by Invoking a non-existent '"absolute freedom'" of expression established by the fint Amendment. �b~oks l?y the faculty -Th Unee~tn Giant ·~ THE POETIC ifHEMES OF ROB· ERT LOWELL- By Dr. Jerome L. Mazzaro, assistant professo' of Eng- l-ish. Publishea 'by The Univmity of Michigan Preu, Ann Arbor, 1965. Number · of ,ages, 145. The first exhauStive srudy of Lowell's rh~mes and techniques, this work provides a new key ro his poetry. The· author traces the development of Lowell's sryle from the formally complex religious poems and war poems of his early books to the freer, more personal voice of his recent works. The literary and philo'sophical influences underly· ing the poems are_also explored by Dr. Mazzaro showing how Lo~ell adapted them to his poetry. A line-for-line ex· amination of each of the major poems to illuminate Lowell's complex view of the writer and of man's narure is also included. Lowell's Catholicism, his personal experiences, hi family and New England heritage - the forces that shaped his writings - are all re· lated to the whole of his work. Setting the poet's work in its proper historical, cultural, and religious conrexts, Dt. Mauaro provides a basis for under· standing Lowell's unique approach ro modern an. The book is not only a guide to understanding one of America's foremost living poets, it is a book about how modern poetry is created. Dr. Mazzaro joined the University faculty in September, 1964. In that year, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship to translate Virg il's "Ecologues," a project which is not yet completed. A poet and critic, Dr. Maz. zaro is the author of "The Achievement of Roberr Lowell : 1939-1959," and the translator of Juvenafs " a· tires." His own poems have appeared in lfcunJ, Epoch, The Litn'III''J R•· vU!w, Poelr'J Broad.side, Tri«J, and numerous other periodicals. He re· ceived his bachelor's and doctorate degrees from Wayne State University and his master's degree from the State University of Iowa. CHEMICAL ASPECTS OF THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYS· TEM - By Dr. David J. Triggle, associate proj1.1sor of hiochnniclfi pharnucology. Published b'] th• lfcadnnic p,u, Inc., (London) Ltd., 1965 . Number of p11g1s, 329. Essentially a discussion of peripheral cholinergic and adrenergic transmission processes, the material presented in this book will hopefully serve to inform the biologist and rhe chemist of each others' problems and to lead ro a more profitable collaboration with an ultimately successful arrack on the problem of receptor structure and function. The work represents an at· tempt to indicate some of the more important problems that have tO be solved in the applic~tion of physico-chemical techniques and theories in this field . Noting that chemists interested in these problems probably lade the necessary badcground to interpret the biologist's data, Dr. Triggle has attempted to include sufficient information concerning the physiology and pharmacology of neural transmission processes. And recognizing that biologists may disagree with the over-simplifications and omissions made in the book's 22 chapters, the author notes that he 12 was gujded by his own experiences and that the gap can be remedied by further readings cited in the references. The book is the fourth volume of "Theoretical and Experimental Biolo· gy" - an international series of monographs with Dr. James F. Danielli, director and head of the University's Center and Unit of Theoretical Biology, serving as consulting ediror. Dr. Triggle joined the University in 1962 as an assistant professor of medicinal chemistry after erving one year as a research fellow at the Univer ity of London (England ) , and two years in the same capacity for the National Research Council of Canada ( Onawa ) . Born in Stratford, England, Dr. Triggle received his bachelor's degree in 1956 from the University of South· h!'mpton and his doctorate degree in 1959 from the University of Hull. An author of several articles and numerous papers, Dr. Triggle is a member of the American and London Chemical Societies. A FIRST COURSE IN NUMERICAL ANALYSIS - By Dr . .-\n· thony Ralston, prof•uor of trUIIh•· trUIIicr and J;,eclor of the Com{JNiing Cent.,. Published b'J McGriiW-Hill Book Com{lan'J, 196.5. N11mber of p11ges, 578. Unlike some numerical analysis texts, this one gives the reader some guidance on what methods are best in a variety of situations. It never loses sight of the fact that almost all applications of numerical analysis today rake place on digital computers. Based on a course that Or. Ralston gave in the Graduate School of the Stevens Institute of Technology, the book assumes a level of mathematical sophisrication appropriate to a student who has had advanced calculus. Two of the teo chapters of the book presume a knowledge of matrix algebra while orher parts assume some acquaintance �with ropics such as Fourier series, orthogonal polynomials and complex variables. No mention is made of the numerical solution of pattial differential equations, integral equations or boundary value problems or of linear programming since these topics properly faJJ into the domain of advanced numerical analysis. .Approximately eighty worked examples are included between the covers, often times with the same problem being worked a number of times by different methods, t illustrate the comparisons between various methods. There are about 500 problems, many are quite difficult, and most h ve {WO, three, or more parts. The book's urpose is to.provide an introductory text in numerical analysis ·for a full-year course ar the seniorgradu te level. Dr. Ralston joined the University this semester after serving as a prolessor of mathematicSand director of the Computer Center at Stevens Institute of Technology for fou.r years. He also served as a lecturer for one year at the University of Leeds, England, and as a supervisor for Bell Telephone Laboratories. Dr. Ralston received his bachelor's and doctorate degrees &om the MassachusettS Institute of Technology. .An author and editor of numerous publications, he is a member of several professional organizations including the .Association for Computing Machinery and the Mathematical .Association of .America. THE UNCERTAIN GIANT: 19211941 - American Foreign Policy Between the Wars - · By Dr. Selig Adler, S~~mueJ P. CllfJm fH'ofessO' of A.meric~~n h;siO''J. Publ;shed b1 The Mact1fUI4" fcomp~~n'J, New Y01'k, 1966. Number of P•ges, 340. This volume focuses on the critical years in .Amerian diplomatic hiStory - probably the last rime a majority of .Americans. could believe that ir was possible ro outline the future without regard for overseas conftict and confusion. Dr . .AdJer 'presents the various attitudes and involvements of the United States during this stimulating period: the isolationism; the conferences for disarmament; reparations and tariff; the KeUogg-Briand Pact; the ordeal of Herbert Hoover; the fresh interest in international comity triggered by Lindbergh's .Atlantic crossing; an evaluation of the diplomacy of Franklin D. Roosevelt; the rise of Fascism a.nd Nazism; the Good Neighbor Policy; and our gradual entanglement in World War II. Rich in striking contrasts and marked by constant changes of public opinion coward foreign policy, these history-packed years emerge as the last period when international incidents could be viewed without the threat of nuclear breakthrough. The second volume to be published in the MacmiUan .American Diplomatic Series, this book is intended primarily for general readers and consistently provides interesting and rewarding reading. There is also a rich bibliography designed for readers who wish to examine more specific writings of .American diplomatic history dur- ing the years between the Wars. The Macmillan Series has .Armin Rappaport of the University of California as its general editor. Dr. .Adler began his professional association with the University in 1938 when he was appointed a lecturer in history in Mit--, lard FiUmore College. He received his bachelor's degree summa cum laude in three years from University at Buffalo and his master's and dOctorate degrees from the University of Illinois. Dr: .Adler also served as visiting professor of hiswry at the University of Rochester and Cornell University. He is also the author of THE ISOLATIONIST IMPULSE, and co-author with Dr. Thomas E.

The latter covrse concerns the assault upon established assumptions of theatre and soci cy as r!!Aected in British theatre sin e 1956. FIRST SIG N S OF ONSTR UCTION MAY BE VI IBLE ON N W CAM P THIS SUMM ER The first signs of con tru tion for th Uni· versity's Amherst campus will becQCDe vi i· ble in the Summer of th.il year a cording to State Universicy President muel B. Gould. Dr. Gould ha also predkred that rhe master plan for both campuses will be completed by late pring. Initial construction will consist of basic grading, including installation of torm t.nd sanitary sewers, electrical and heatin dum. Land acquisition, Dr. Gould id, ill be completed by next ummcr with • Fall groundbreaking t nratively set for dormitories to house 2, 00 srudnlts. Also in the Fall, Dr. Gould said, conncuction is ex· peered to begin on facilities for the general athleti and recreational program , to in· elude a stadium of 20,000· 2~.000 capacicy -"if thi seems to be necessary." Academic construction is expected to be· gin by the Fall of 1967, but final ord on this phttse is being reserved pending completion of the detailed master plan. The plan will relate acaderni , dormitory and site development requirements, such as roads and utilities, to acrual construction programming and t.tchitecrurt.l concepts. Constru tion of the new Univenity Hospital on the ~hin treet campus is tenta· tively projected for the ummer of 1969. UNIVER l TY R ECEIVES 6 G RADUATE FELLOW HIPS The U. .

And if you need assistance in determining their worth, call acting archivist Mrs. Ruth tmmons. Her Archives office, con· taining departmental material$ in private file , is locate,i in Harri · man Library. A little more than a year old, the Archives has not yet estab· lished with the University a formal procedure to acquire retired records' from the Univer1iry units . Until it does, it must rtly on the l:J 'versity community to htlp build a collection of official personal papers of ind ividuals comparable to other records a major universities. Despite its youth, the Archive already has a sizable accumula· · tion . Included in the holdings, which dare back to the IR)O's, are records of Millard Fillmore's activities as first chancellor of the Univer1ity and the beginning of a collection from the Samutl P. Capen era. There is also the first minute book of the Medical School and all of the minute books of the UB Council except the · first one. The latter are actually located in the treasurer's office bur arc considered archival material aJ are the Prcsidenr's papers. The longest continuous record is that of the Office of Admissions and Records dating h.ck to the beginning of the University in 11146. A recent acqui1irioo w~ rhe University's History Oeparrmenr's minutes for the departmental meetings held throu11hour the 1950's. " It would be quite significant if we received the m inutes from all of the departments throughout the years," says Mrs. immons. A good example of peraonal material that she would like the Archives to inherit is the collection of Dr. Marvin K. Opler, professor of social PfYChiatry, socioloi!Y and anthropology.

Already, Lafayette Street's amateur Studio Theatre has become Main Street's professional Studio Arena . And where once rhe hardy local actors struggled to keep the theatre alive with "Auntie Marne," Jose Quintero has mounted a major production of "A Moon For the Misbegotten" with Colleen Dewhurst and James Daly . Adding ro the gathering momentum , the University Theatre on the eve of its new season has given notice of a change in direCtion which promises to be equally as significant as the Studio's transformation. From now on , Direc tor Thomas S. Watson reports, one of the primary objectives of the Theatre will be to train performing artists and playwrights . According to Dr. Watson, this represents a new philosophy both for the University and for the American educational theatre. The revised direction was enunciated for the first time at a preliminary meeting of theatre and drama educators from around the State in Albany this summer attended by Professor Stanley Travis, chairman of the Department of Drama and Speech. �ne"' direction A glimpse of what lies in store may be found in the activities surrounding playwright Conrad Bromberg's rwo periods of residence on campus last year. During his visits, Bromberg worked wirh srudenrs on the production of two of his works, one of which was written especially for chose who performed in it. Foreshadowed in this development is the evenrual bringing together on campus of a residenr ensemble of both authors and professional performers who will work wirh srudenrs, rest rhe works of unseasoned playwrights arld, at rhe same rime, enrich the cultural life of both University and community. Bur before rhe Theatre arrives at that poinr in irs future, a full -fledged curriculum in theatre arts must be developed, first for undergraduates and evenrually ar the graduate level. Currently, the University offers only rhe deparrmenral major in drama and speech with an emphasis in theatre, if desired. THE FIRST STEP in building rhe program obviously is the recruirmenr of an expanded faculty. This is already underway. This year rwo additional full -rime faculty members joined the staff - Dr. William S. E. Coleman and Dr. Ward Williamson. Dr. Coleman is a direcror and playwright who received his Ph.D. from the University of Pirrsburgh where he did his disser tation on the London stage history of the "Merchant of Venice." He will inaugurate a course in playwriting . Dr. Williamson holds a Ph .D . from State University of Iowa and will direct and teach acting. Both newcomers will direct a major produc tion later rhis season ; Dr . Coleman , in early March and Dr. Williamson in late April. Other members of rhe Theatre sraff, in addition ro Dr. Warson, are Mrs. Julia Pardee who reaches rhe hisrory of rhe theatre and acring and Miss Escher Kling who serves as costumer. Mrs. Pardee is directing the Theatre's first major production of the 1965-66 season, Chrisropher Fry's poetic comedy, "The Lady's Nor For Burning," scheduled for Baird Hall, November 3-6 ar 8 : 30 p .m. The new curriculum in theatre will be directed roward training rhe complete performer - the educated arrisr inreresred not only in his craft bur also in the hum~niries and social sciences. "Too many people who wanr ro be in rhe rhearre," Dr. Warson says, "know very lirrle about the world, abour man and his condition ." Hopefully, the first rwo years of the projected new 1 program will provide chis background . Eventually, rhe fledgling actor would also be required to complete an audition before being admitted ro rhe lase two years of rhe major . He would be judged on his academic record, on his ralenr, on his willingness co work hard and on ~s ability ro impose the selfdiscipline' so essential co rhe artisr. In connection with rhis concept of educating rhe well-rounded performer, Dr. Warson is concerned somewhat by the artificial lines which currently divide traditional drama and rhe musical theatre on the campus. This leads ro rhe development of singers whose acting ability and potencial are nor fully nurtured and of actors who are nor at home with demands of the musical stage. Because rhe differences in rhe rwo forms of theatre are primarily a marrer of degree, he anticipates char rhe present dichocomy will be resolved under rhe leadership of Mr. Allen Sapp --Chairman of the Department of Music who now is also head of rhe Division of Language, Literature and rhe Arcs of rhe College of Arcs and Sciences. While future emphasis will be on developing the new program, Dr. Warson dbes nor intend to over-look or to de; emphasize the traditional roles of rhe University's Theatre. �Plans for the sets are checked out by Dr. Watson who d oubles as tech ,ical director . On stage in the HarrimatJ Ballroom, sets are mo•mted. Er•entualll· the maintenance department u.j/f gel itJto the '"act " as the sets are moved to Baird. /, the costume sh op. studen/J gain ~xperi ­ eTICe in another aspect of ""beh ind the scenes" aclit,;ly. An indica/ion of widespread student ;,terest in the theasre is this Jammed hall of hopefuls waiting to read for 'The LAdy 's Not For Burning ." " BackJ111ge" as the Theatre, Jludents build the sc11n"y /or the forthcoming production of "The LAdy's Not For Burning ." The first of these he defines as the encouragement of an interest in thea tre among the entire srudent body and the resulting creation of an audience for theatre everywhere . The primary vehicle for this work is rhe Student Theatre Guild which makes provision for all those who want ro gain theatri cal experience. Some are theatre stude nrs, bur many are not. The second continuing function of rhe Theatre is ro provide for rhe Uni ve rsity and for rhe community "'the best plays produced under rhe best conditions."' \X/har are the best plays ) Dr . War son is realistic enough ro acknowledge that a number of people on the cam pus "'don"t like what we do ."" However, he feels his is a happy middle ground between those who demand more experimentation and those who insist they cannot understand anything that the Theatre does. He describes as ""challenging"' the program of last year which consisted of three contemporary plays by Bromberg , Schisgal and Swasey ; Bromberg's "Defense of Taipei ;"" Jean Genet"s 'The Balcony" and Peter Shaffer's 'The Private Ear and The Public Eye." The best conditions , however, are another matter. The most imposing current problem for Dr. Watson is that general University headache space. The Theatre works where and when it can - building sets here, rehearsing there and performing in still 2 another location . He feels a particular debt of gratitude ro rhe rhearre's silent partner-the maintenance department, which makes his operations possible by moving sees and technical equipment around and about the campus. On the new campus, space for the Theatre's academic and performing programs will be much more ~ppro­ priare . The tentative program submitred ro planning and development authorities this summer calls for: I. A 480-sear proscenium forestage theatre. 2. An experimental multiform space searing 180 people-a room in which performance shape and audience space can be changed by moving around sears and the stage floor. There is a possibility of still an ocher theatre similar in shape to the open stage rheaues in Minneapolis and Stratford, One . This would be a performance space suited to both concerts and dramatic performances. With the realization of these academic objectives and physical plans, Dr. Watson feels, the University Theaere will grow in reputation and quality to become a major center for the education of the performing anist. Few would deny that this is an altogether appropriate objective for a University which serves a State with the world's largest single concentration of the I • legitimate theatre. �Books by the Faculty YOUTH AND COMMUNISM - An Historical Analy sis of International Communist Youth Movements By DR . RICHARD CoRNELL, aJJistant profeJJor of political science. Published by Walker and Company , New York, 196.5 . Number of pages, 239 . In this book , Dr. Cornell traces the development of Communism's vast campaign to enlist the youth of the world from its small revolutionary origins, through irs protean national and international manifestations, to its present world status. The campaign is treated as a whole, encompassing both the international organizations, such as the Communist Youth International, and the multifarious front groups which have sought to capture rhe allegiance of young people in the West, Latin America and Asia. Dr. Cornell describes the triumphs and defeats of organized Communist youch in meeting the crises which have arisen from ideological shifts, intra-parry power struggles, the persistent challenge of nationalism and, most recently, the Sino-Soviet split. DR . CORNELL joined the University faculty as a lecturer in political science in 1964 . He received his bachelor's degree from The Ohio State University and his master's and doctorate degrees from Columbia University. Before accepting his appointment at the University, he served as a foreign affairs officer with the Office of the Secretary of Defense and as a lecturer in government at Barnard College.

Cornell is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies and holds a cerrificare from the Russian Institute of Columbia University. BIOPHYSICAL PRINCIPLES OF STRUCI1JRE AND FUNCTION- By DR. FRED M. SNELL,profeJJorandchairman of the Department of Biophysics, DR. SIDNEY SHUL MAN, aJJociate p,-ofeJJor of immunochemistry and biophysics, DR. CARL Moos, aJJiJtant profeuor of biophysics and DR. RICHARD P. SPENCER, a.rsociate p,-ofeuo,- of nu- clear medicine at Yale University and fo,-me,- p,-ofeiio,. of biophysics at the Unive,-sity at Buffalo . Published by the Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc ., 196.5 . Number of pages, 390. Designed for use at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, this text presents an introduction to the principles of structure and function in biological systems - with attention focused on the cellular, subcellular, and molecular levels. Its primary purpose is to assist the student of biologi- cal and medical sciences in improving his knowledge and appreciation of physical and chemical principles ·necessary for a better understanding of living things . In essence, the book is divided into two major parrs. The first half is devored to a treatment of the principles of biological structure , building from the atomic and molecular level up to the living cell. The text then proceeds to consideration of the fundamental principles of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics which underlie the funcrion of living cells and organisms . SNELL SHULMAN MOOS DR. SNELL received his medical degree from Harvard University in 194 5 and spent two years in clinical work at the Children's Medical Center in Boston. He spent another rwo years with an assignment ro the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission in Hiroshima, Japan . Under an American Cancer Society fellowship, he received a doctorate degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1952. Immediately prior to accepting his present position at the University in 1959, Dr. Snell was an assistant professor of biological chemistry at the Harvard Medical School: His special interests include membrane and transport pbe- �nomena, thermodynamics of biologi cal systems , kineti c and mad1ematical models. Faculty Forum DR. SH ULMAN received his doctorate degree from the Uni versity of Wisconsin. He has taught med ical , dental, and graduate students in the Departments o f Biophysics and Bacteriology and Imm unology . His research inrerests are in the genera l area of macro molecular srud ies . In connection wirh his research, he has wrinen arti cles on rhe physical chemistry o f proteins , blood clorring . protein purificatio n and immunochemical reactions . In your opinion, what type of campus is most conducive to the attainment ofacademic objectives? DR . CARL Moos, who received his doctorate degree from Columbia University, was a resea rch associate in chemistry ar Northwestern Unive rsity and ar the Unive rsity of Illinois Medical School wh ere he also served as an instructor in physiology before accepting his present appointmenr . Pri mary among his specia l interests are fundamental studies of rhe process o f contraCtion and rel axation in muscle. MISS MARY CAMIOLO Anisian/ Profeswr of Clinical NurJing ""W:AT A BROAD and complex question' One might well ask ""what type of wor ld wo uld you like ro deve lopr There is cenainly a corollary in our "' Uropia"s"" - where rhe rype of campus we plan roday will help achieve our dreams for rhe fut ure. The goals somehow seem equally clear , but trying ro identify all rhe componenrs rhar would help us to achieve these makes one humbly aware of the innumerable variables th at are beyond our present knowledg e and comprehension. Yet what zesr and enrhusiasm can and should permeate a campus rhar is aware of these vasr frontiers char lie ahead to penerrare! The question posed does seem to be a responsibiliry for each one o f us ro analyze and seek out essential elements. To me , a campus should reAecr "" lors of heart"' and feeling for rhe student and prov ide him not only wirh an im mediarc: sense of belonging bur also with rhe awareness rhar he is the core of rhe university and irs primary purpose fo r existence . This is best rransmirred through a faculty and staff environment rad ia ting throughout a feeling of warmth , understanding, and sincere individual inreresr along with challe11f!, i11f!, , dJ' namh on -going inre llecrual pursuits. While the faculty is the essenr ial catalyst, the physical make -up o f a campus can certainly do much ro enhance or defeat academic objecrives . For rhe sake of brevity I can o nly rou ch on a few things rhar ro me would be most im po rr anr char a campus include (bur certainly nor exclusively so). There is a special need for areas for close conracr and inrellecr ual interchange with swdenrs so rhar rhe furure electronic reaching aids can be used ro free the faculty for closer (nor more remore) conran with them . There is also a particular need for areas for informal gatherings for students and faculty , and for eac h of these groups among themselves for the common shari ng and exchange of knowl edge , ideas, and ideals. Equally important are areas where each can work and dream alone. The campus needs co reAecr rhe awareness rhar academic objectives can best be achieved where opportuniry for physical, emotional and spi r itual growth are equally provided and encouraged and where individuality and creariviry are especially co be fostered .

Based on th e ediwr"s experie nce of teaching undergraduate classes , rhe foc us in this vo lume is on the undergraduate psycho logy major who has a modest knowledge of starisrics . While most of the readings hav e been co ndensed or abbreviated, a few of rhem appear in their origi nal form .

He received his bachelor's and master 's degrees from University ar Buffalo and his docrorare from New York University . During sabbatical leave in 1961-62, he traveled to Egypt and Lebanon, where his acriviries included lectur ing ro the Psychology Club ar rhe American Unive rsity in Beirut. He traveled throughout India dur ing I 964 -65 on a Fulbright g rant as a consultant to rhe United Stared Educational Founda tion in New Delhi. Dr. Barnette is an author of nume ro us articles appea ring in psychological jou rn als and is presently a member of six professional organizations . 4 �CAMIOLO insrirutions have the same academic objectives; chis we know is nor so. Some are places to which commuter students come solely for classes and library facilities wirh housing, recreation and social activities found elsewhere. Ochers are communiries within themselves , home away from home in places where people go co learn through class participation and informal living beyond rhe classroom . Some are places where insrruaion is important bur rhe search for new knowledge i.s of greater concern. Some are reaching the masses while others exist only for an elite few. The larger institution muse serve the engineer, rhe business major, the medical student, rhe music and arc majors, and many ocher deparrmentalized areas of srudy. Each requires irs special facilities. Providing rhe proper housing for these varied inreresrs is the focus of concern for the campus planners. The student, the faculty reacher, rhe researcher, rhe adminisrracor and the supporring personnel deliberately seek our chose places which provide the type of facilities which fulfill their personal needs . Alrhough the large massive buildings may be the most economical ro construct , they lack individua~, have low ceilings, compact arrangemenrs, and large parKing areas surrounding them. They may even be dysfunctional and less satisfying co many who use them . Libraries, which are considered rhe nucleus of many campuses, may be of the cemral facility ty.pe on some campuses. On ochers, one may find as mimy as rwenty-five or more small areas each supplying books and materials in a discrete discipline or even subdivisions within a discipline. I contend that the ideal campus should be near, bur nor in, a large city. There should be grass and trees, and an environment conducive 10 learning. Adequate parking space should be located within a reasonable distance of the main campus wirh access 10 buildings when one wishes ro transport materials from his home 10 his place on campus . The professor's office and stOrehouse of marerials should be in close pwximity 10 his classrooms. Adequate space muse be available nearby for chose graduate studems pursuing work in his area. The physical science majors usually have the latter bur other disciplines are nor so forrunare and designers often are not aware of rhe necessity for allocation of similar arrangements. I believe char rhe working areas should be in small buildings, at lease in a parr of rhe larger mass. Ir is interesting to note char in 1816 Thomas Jefferson proposed " . . . instead of one immense building co have a small one for every professor arranged at proper disrances around a square, co admit of extensions connected by a piazza, so char they might go dry from one school to another." I would propose a major library bur I would also like smaller libraries provided for and administered by persons who are familiar wirh the discipline served by the library. These items appear ro constitute the basic necessities. A theatre, space for the performing arts, housing for students, undergraduate and graduate, and recreational facilities are also necessary. Most of all, I believe chat the campus should provide for the encouragemeor of interested and capable srudents, congenia.l colleagues, and an administrative staff committed to serve the institution. • HOLLOWAY Another specifically important need that concerns me is for expanded facilities and means for all types of intradivisional approaches for what a few shorr years ago seemed ro be the separate fields of humanities, sciences and the ans . These boundaries need a new bridging physically and structurally as well as inrellecrually. I would like to see a campus whose serring , landscaping, buildings and climate inside and out can capture and enhance and surround the students with rhe wonders of the joys of thinking, the love of beauty and the arcs, rhe enkindling of inrelleccual curiosity, the pursuit of self understanding and expression, rhe pleasure of contemplating the inrellecrual and cultural riches of the past, and rhe sarisfacrions of developing independent chinking so chat the rigors of self discipline and srudy will help co sec rhem free and not enslave rhem . I would add rhe solid hope char especially rhe libraries should transmit these into a coral unity . I leave ir 10 rhe architects and planners co transform vision inro reality (just so they don't by-pass some of our individual planning requesrs 1 ) With rhese, I would hope char rhe desire 10 create, 10 share and co improve society can best flourish among students and our morro "Ler Each Become All That He Is Capable of Being" can best be nurrured . • DR . GEORGE E. HOLLOWAY ProfeJior apd Director of Educational AdminiJtration THE LOCATIONS, architectural styles, and objecrives of university campuses are characterized by great diversity. Campuses can be found in rhe cenrer of large cities, in rhe suburbs, and even in small isolated communities. Some are on hills while ochers are on large, flat areas of land. For some, the buildings may be of one architectural style wirh furnishings of Gothic Sauce , False Georgian Drapings, Colonial Slipcovers, or austere modern designs. Ochers may conrain buildings, no rwo alike, wirh Gothic, Colonial, and Contemporary interspersed. While rhe suburban and village sires may provide large grassed areas wirh delightful trees and shrubs, rhe city uni versity frequently has none of any of these facilities unless rhey are in some nearby public park.

The report stated that fac ulty involvement in issues such as rhe Feinberg Ce rtificate , the sire o f th e new camp us and the reo rga ni za tion o f the Col lege o f Arts and Sciences, occu rred pr imarily outside o f the Senate. After a year-long exp lorati on o f areas in wh ic h there seemed to be serious im ped iments to the partici pation by the faculty in the formulation of ed uca ti onal policy, the Commiuee ag reed u nani mously on the need to strengthen the Senate ro the maximum exte nt as the instrument o f the faculty. The Comm ittee proposed a reorganization o f the Senate whi ch the Senate approved in princi p le at its an nua l meeting las t yea r. lr further reco mmended that "some group be appointed tO pre pare a new co nstitutio n and se t of by-laws.

Present · ly, there are th ree Senators fr om eac h of the Universiry's fourteen divisions in addi ti on ro fifteen Senators-at -large . Ex -officio members under the proposed plan would include th e University president- also recommended to remain as chai rman o f the Senate- the vi ce presidents, the academic deans, the dean o f students, the dean of women , the direc tor of Libraries, and the direcror of Admissions. Also und er study will be an expansion of the twelvemember Executive Committee ro include one representative from eac h School or College who would be elecred by rhe Senato rs from the respective School or College. In addition , one or two members would be appointed by the Universiry Presidenr . Anorher suggestion o f rhe Comminee on Educational Planning and Policy was thar rhe Senate meet more frequ ently - once a month during rhe academic year ar regu larly scheduled times . Also in rhe proposal is rhe possibility of fewer standing comminees wirh a provision in the ByLaws for rhe formation of necessary ad hoc comminees . In the interest of a strong Senate , and perhaps rhe one item that should generate rhe most concern among rhe fa culty , the Educational Policy Comminee has recommended that rhe Senate's decisions, within irs jurisdiction, be binding on the constituent Schools and Colleges of the University. This means that no School or College would have vero power over Senate decisions affecting a particular unir.

The University 's Faculry Senate , likewise, has seen the need to reorganize itself in irs sea rch for wider facu lty par tic ipation . Viewing rhe faculty as cit izens of an "educa tion al ciry," the Senate is hopeful that the proposed revision will afford faculry members the opportuni ty ro ca rry out their respons ibiliry to acr upon vital issues through an appropriate body .

In essence, for these types of matters, the Senare would serve as a "court of lasr resorr" before forwarding a case to Albany. The Senate would also be emided to iniriare investigations of any question which in the judgment of irs members affects the educational efficiency of rhe University and rhe welfare of rhe faculty and srudem body. Orher recommendations of rhe Educationa l Policy Committee included the election of the Senate vice president from and by rhe Senators and rhar he be the chai rman of the Executive Commitree ; election of the secretary of the Senate by the Executive Committee; and the selection of an official parliamentarian by the Executive Commitree.

Presently, a student is assigned ro rest I 0 o r I 5 subjec ts of his ow n choice . The subjects reseed are generally campus friends and o nly rarely does rhe student encounter an actual hearing deficiency. Thus rhe undergraduate student is necessarily limited in h is range o f ex perience. The DSA , however, will correct chis hie or miss sampling technique and also remove the need for using hearing-im paired human subjects d uring t he first phases of undergraduate study . The machine will be fed specially punched and coded cards which react like a human being wirh a hear ing loss. Each ca rd, coded so that the type o f hearing loss ca nn ot be identified through visual inspecrion by the student, will re present va rious hearing deficiencies. Because the indecisiveness of che human responses makes rhe resting of live subjecrs diffi cult, rhe cards will be similarly coded so char they also possess this area of uncertainty as to whether or nor they "hear" che rone reproduced by rhe DSA . Thus, in simulating a live subject, rhe cards will nor "respond" ar a compl ecely pred ictable level. The area of uncerrai nty is *:ailed the response threshold . The job of rhe student, after feedi ng a card into rhe interrogatio n unir of rhe DSA , is ro determine rhe response threshold for each o f seven tones reproduced by che machine. When rhe respo nse threshold has been reached a response indicator will light. For all intensity le vels above chis poi nt che indica ror will g low - rhe card defi nitel y "hears" rhe rone ; for th ose below, ir will be extinguished, indicating char rhe ca rd has ceased ro "hear·· che ro ne . The student muse use his knowledge of aud iometry to deter min e whar che rhreshold will be . The coded nat ure of the punch cards wi ll allow rhe DSA w be used as a student's resting dev ice as well as a reach ing aid . This will facilitate rhe evaluation o f begi nning students without absorbing val uable ri me of faculty me m bers who mus r ass ist more advanced stu dents wo rking wirh live subjecrs . According ro Dr . Sanders, che DSA is scheduled for use chis semester.

CAZEAU Assistant Professor of Geology SAMl 'EL TAYLOR COLERIDGE 'S mythica l ancie nt mariner who medi tated un the abu nda nce of undrinkable water has turned out to be a ve ry real person in th e form of Dr . Cha rles J. Cazeau, assistant professor of geology . Dr . Cazea u, however . is nm expe riencing the mar iner's g uil t for the paradoxical situation. In fa cr, he is continua ll y srrivi ng to create publi c and government aware n ess towa rd the ra mifica tions of polluted water supplies . In a lc11e r to (;overno r Rock efeller last summer. wa rn ing th at sub-su rface w;Hcrs are bei ng poll uted 10 a critical le\'el and that N ew Yo rk State is already in the incipie nt stage, the geologist ill ustrated hi s conce rn for "warer, ware r everyw here .. ... The letter resu lred in an invitatio n to Dr. Cazeau to attend a Gover nnr 's Con fere nce on Pollur ion held in Buffalo and in a guest appea rance on Elliot Field 's p ro gram, " Focus ," broadcast over station WJR, Detro it, whe re he discussed water pollution. Dr . Cazeau reveals tha t g ro und water pollution was nor ment ioned at the Gove rnor's conference and rh ar allowances were made for indusrries o n rhe theory rha r mosr of rhe cont ami nation of water is caused by rhe ge nera l public. While this may be true , says Dr. Cazea u, our public officials fail ro u n derstand that water pollutio n by indusrri al wastes will nor respo nd to the norm al three -step pu rification process of sed imentat ion, chlorination and aeri fication. Neither do they realize that more of the expenditures ea rm arked for pure water programs should be used w combat the source o f contamination, he says . "The scientist has been silent roo long in this matter ," says Dr. Cazeau. Without blaming public servants, he says it is rhey who do mosr of the talking on a subject diffi cult for them 10 understand . Dr. Cneau relrier·eJ a Jample n f po/lured u·aler ( rom Ellico ll Creek /o r laboratory analy1iJ . " It 's nor their faulr . We can 't all be sc ientist s," he says adj usting his darkrimmed glasses. "But, we ca n't all be p ublic ser va nts e ither," he adds wi th a wide gri n tha t sym bolizes his easygoing nature . A youthf ul .~4-yea r s o f age, Dr . Cazea u ho lds a mode rn viewpoint and is full of enthusiasm for the many sub jeCts whic h interest hi m . At once, he may be keeping tabs o n warer and air pollu tio n and staying arru ned tO a host of ocher geologica l interests . Air pollu ti on is another special con ce rn of Dr . Cazea u. H e describes an overabundance of ca rbon diox ide in rhe earth's atmosp here as a "greenhouse effect " whi ch could contain the earth's hea r and eventually melt the north land 's icebergs and glaciers . 'This would fl ood all of the coas tal states. Florida and m her areas nor more r han ren or fifteen feet above sea level would be completely submerged," says Dr . Cazeau . It is in rhe area of glaciers that Dr . Cazeau and grad uate students are now resea rching . They will study the deposits left on the earth 's surface by histOry's melt ing glaciers . The researc h should take at least three years . Dr. Cazea u's penchant tO preserve t he wilds o f nature dares back 10 his boyhood in Roc hes ter , N. Y . Today he looks wi th a nostalgic eye at a mod e rni zed and leveled landsca pe where he once explored caves. His love for the ou tdoors extends 10 all o pe n air sports and pleasu res. He is also an oil painter, an ardent photographer, an accomplished fencer who has given instructi ons, and a die -hard chess player. He is presently carry ing on a chess game through th e mail wirh an official of the Columbia, South Carolina, State Development Board's Division of Ge ology , where he was employed dur ing the summers of 1960-63. During those years, Dr . Cazeau served as an assistant professor o f geo logy at Clemson University. Before joining Clemson, Dr. Cazeau was employed as a geologist and parry chief by the Humble Oil & Refining Co., HoustOn , Texas. He received his bachelor's degree from the Universiry of Nmre Dame, his master's degree from Florida Stare Universiry and his doctOrate from the Universiry of North Carolina where he specialized in sedi mentology . He also anended the Vir 1 12 �ginia Polytechnic Inst itute in the fall of l 'J5H . An author of numerous geological repo rts and journal publications, Dr. Cazeau currently has in press three articles dealing with the geology of South Carolina . His specialties and interests include heavy minerals, primary structures in sediments, steam rransportario n and deposirion, geologic mapping. recent sedimenrs and Pleistocene geology, marine geology and grou nd water movement and contam ination. Since joining rhe Universiry in 1963, Dr. Cazeau has spent summers in a variery of ways . These acrivities included supervising the gold explora tion program in Canadian Shield for Mogul Mines, Lrd ., directing rhe Summer School program at Park School of Buffalo, advising the Farmer's Gas and Oil Co., writing for McGraw -Hill's Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, and advising private clients in sand and gravel evaluation, ground warer supplies and contamination. Dr . Cazeau predicrs that it is this generation's children who will feel the impact of water shortages if the presem rate of water pollution conrinues. Being a father of rhree children serves ro make him more concerned . Ir is only recently that corrective measures have been taken against pollution bur the problem is an old one, according to Dr. Cazeau . "As long as forry and fifty years ago, black deposits jwere taken from Lake Erie," he says. Lake Erie, he explains, is plagued by monstrous algae planes because of the phosphate dumped inro it by industry. The phosphate acrs as a fertilizer, he furrher explains. Water pollution is also a problem rhar has co be combaned with laws rhat have more "reeth," and nor merely with r.ecommendations and suggestions, says Dr. Cazeau. "There should be the same kind of laws that govern any other types of poisoning," he adds. With a strong desire that the facts about pollution be promulgated, it is unlikely that Dr. Cazeau will be mute in furure years . Perhaps his warning will serve ro spark enough inrerest so that there will be fewer worries about "drops to drink" in the future. • News of Your Colleagues of the Co/league , five new administrative appointments were announced bringinl! the grand total to six· reen for the 1965-66 academic year.

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

W , T H THf NEW CAMPUS srill four years away and the pressures for continuing growth showing no signs of abating during rhe waiting period, the University this fall is raking on rhe appearance of a "boom rown" in order to meet irs commitments. In addition, ir is bringing to rhe fore again its cenruryold habit of making do in various corners away from the main campus while awaiting new developments . T o rhe duster of temporary buildings and rrailer class rooms already in evidence along Bailey Avenue, nine addi tional prefabricated temporary structures will be added before the end of the year, providing a total additional floor space of l 00 ,000 square feet. In all, there will be three classroom and faculty-office buildings, three administrative strucrures, an annex for the main library, one for the science library, and on,e small building for housing medical school 1 animals . According ro Mr. William F. Doemland, the director of rhc Office of Planning and Development , the structures will be located behind Hayes Hall , to the front of rhe nearly -completed chemical engineering addition, to the sou th of Lockwood Library , norrh of Foster Hall, in the loop between Diefendorf and Harriman and elsewhere. In one of rhe biggest switches to be occasioned by the new facilities, most of the administrative offices in Hayes Hall (except the president, his assistants, the vice presi dents for research and business affairs and a few others ) will mov~: into three temporaries ro be positioned behind the administration building. Included in the move will be Admissions and Records , Payroll, Personnel, units of the Controller's Office and Planning and Development which itself is responsible for all campus space assignments . The vacated Hayes space will be converted ro academic use. Additional signs for such departments as anthropology and linguistics are beginning to appear in store fronts in the .3 200 block of Main Street. Other offices have been, and arc continuing, in houses along Winspear Avenue . Downtown, a plan for rhe Law School to lease additional classroom space in the Buffalo Athletic Club advanced earlier this year did nor materialize, bur in August the School was said ro be still looking for additional space in urher locations . Meanwhile, the Office of Planning and Development has provided rhe following information on the present stare of new campus plans: I . Within weeks, a comprehensive master plan is ex pected , derailing the buildings and rheir relationships on the new campus. 2. Present plans call for groundbreaking in the summer of 1967 with the first phase w be completed by 1969. Uncerraimies as ro who shall move first have been virtually eliminated . Approximately I ,500,000 square feet have been programmed for the first of three construction phases more spa<.:e than is now occupied by the entire University , excluding health sciences which will remain on the present campus . Thus, ir should be possible for all divisions which arc movi ng ro make the switch within weeks of each other. Consrrucrion on the new campus will continue for five years after the first move , with completion scheduled for 1974 . .3. By way of clarification, academic units presently designated for rhe Amherst sire are : University College, College of Am and Sciences, Sch~ of Education, Engineering and Business Administration,' lhe Graduate School , the School of Social Welfare, the School of Law, Millard Fillmore College and the Summer Session. The main library, central :tdministration · and general University facilities (auditoriums, an athletic complex, etc.) also will be located on the new site together with the necessary supporting facilities for what will be the major segment of the University community . The inter-related health science divisions will be the only academic units headquartered on the Main Street campus. Al~o remaining on the present campus will be the Western New York Nuclear Research Center, Inc., and its related research activities. • · �Order amid change . • • Change E T HRE E division heads and Acting D ean Slatin form a Core Committee for Arts and Sciences.

Specific assignments which President Furnas has dele· gated ro the Arts and Sciences Core Committee are : the consolidation of budget requests; budget adjusrments; recruitment; consideration of the 10-year academic plan ; major equipment requests; consolidation of new campus building plans; and major appointments of over $15,000 per year. The Arts and Sciences Committee of the Whole will meet to consider curricula, new programs and upper division entrance qualifications. While the Arcs and Sciences Committee will be responsible for all operational matters within that School, routine operational matters which clearly involve only a single school in the non-health science professional area will be processed directly through the Office of the Special Assist· ant to the President. The Core Committee for the Professional Schools will : consolidate budget requests; coordinate building plans; CO· FOGEL ordinate the 10-year academic program; make major budget adjusrmencs and staff appoinrmencs above $15,000. Curricula involving more alan one school, new programs, and upper division entrance requirements for the professional schools will be handled by the Committee of the Whole. Listed as duties for the Service Area Committee are budget requests consolidation, budget adjustments and major staff appointments. Comparing the new arrangement to the base of a "honeycomb," Dr. Furnas said "ideally the new structure will pro· vide wholesome interrelationships within a framework of functional independence and · will provide the background from which still further organizational changes may evolve, as needed." In the sense that further changes may evolve, Dr. Furnas regards the new alignment to some extent as an interim measure for the academic year 1965-66. However, he has indicated that some form of realignment has to be an integral part of the over-all University growth. • �Edward A.

Th e box is lined with exrra so fr sawdust which insures a co mfortable sleep . A professionally prepared food in biscuit form is sprinkled into the COJ.ge of a white mouse by Mr. Langford . The mice, who outnumber the orher creatures, and the white rats are util ized in labs con. ducting bacteriological and anatomical research . Each cage is tagged designating their destination . 4 II �These rwo rhesus monkeys exemplify Dr. Graves' concern for the psychological well-being of rhe animals. Because small monkeys may nor survive without love and companionship. explains Dr . Graves, they are purchased in pa irs . This hardshell pre-hisroric creature, like his fellow-amphib ian -the-fr og, will no doubt reveal more of life's secrecs to researchers in physiology and bio-chemistry laboratories. L lYING a "dog 's life" may no longer be rhe wo rst fate ro befall anyone - not if it 's lived according to the increas· ing high standards of the University 's Animal Care Unit in Capen Hall. Under the direction of Dr. Rodney S. Graves, the Unit has become the home of more than 1,000 laboratory animals receiving the latest techniques in modern care. In addition to the canine family, the four-legged creatures include rab . bits, rats , swine, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, ground squirrels , cats, turtles, frogs and mongolian gerbils. Work with various monkey species has become more popular rhus in · creasing the "near -human" population . On occasion , the Unit houses poultry and other avian species and has recently expanded its mammalian category to include a bar colony . With the current and improving faci·liries, the Care Unit residents are enjoying a life th~ might be considered en viable to humans . The menagerie's welfare is looked after by Dr . Graves and a 22-member staff ~ho are always on the alert for signs of illness and discomfort . Each creature is given a complete physical examination upon entering the Unit and subse· quently receives periodic check-ups. Housed in sterilized cages and compartments in air-conditioned rooms, their well being is the primary concern of rhe Unit's staff. At one rime, the air conditioners in the Unit's office spaces were sacrificed w provide more comfortable living quarters for the animals. Away from his animal friends for rhe moment, Dr. Graves receives a call from a doctor requesting the use of an animal in research. Dr. Graves will ready the "patient" and have ir routed co the requesting office or laboratory in the medical center . 5 �Business and office manager of the Care Unit, Alexander G . Moussalli , displays the bull frog that kept him "hopping" when retrieving the reptile from rhe rank on the top floor of the Unit. The living quarters of the frog have ample room and water for him to live like the "king" that he is. While this bull frog's long srrerch may not indicate his willingness ro leap into the physiology and bio-chemist~ laboratories, he will none-the-less find himself under observation 10 the labs to aid in a better undemanding of life. Dr . Graves, a youthful veterinarian, holds the highest respect for the animals and their role in medical and dental research . He oversees the full operation of the Care Unit which ranges from rhe ordering and supply ing of the laboratory animals to physicians, dentists and Universiry-affiJj . aced hospitals to the feeding, exercise, treatment and gen · era! care of the "patients." Every member of his animal kingdom receives a regular generous diet of the most healthful foods and a constant water supply. While the present facilities of the Unit provide the best possible care for irs inhabitants, there is always room for improvement. And more room would be "just what the docror ordered." Although the Care Unit is slated to occupy one of the temporary structures to be built on campus during the fall, Dr. Graves says rhat there is an "urgent need " to expand facilities for germ-free studies, research animal breeding, collecting and holding dogs and cats, and housing goats and larger species. A $750,000 proposal for such a "research farm" area with a field station has been submitted by Dr. Graves and the Animal Facilities Planning Committee with hopes that it will be realized near the new campus site in Amherst. Dr. Graves and the Committee are also negotiating ro acquire a tract of public land in Hamburg, N. Y. - rhe former sire of the Nike missile base - which will serve as a field station until the research farm project is completed. "The Hamburg sire should help tide us over unril then ," says Dr. Graves. While the "dog's life" in the Animal Care Unit is a good life ar the present rime, Dr. Graves is striving ro make it an even better one. • Assistant Frank Driscoll gently holds and strokes one of the 255 playful rabbits while Dr. Graves inspects its tagged ears . The hares are "earmarked" for departments conducting bacteriological studies . Frank Driscoll inser.rs a rabbit cage into the giant-size steam sterilizer to insure sanitation in the animal section of the Care Unit . A similar sterilizing unit is used for the animal's eating and drinking utensils. 6 �Books by the Faculty FOUNDATIONS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL RESEARCH- Srarisrics, Methodology , and Measurement By DR .

FIJRNAS TO RETIRE AUGUST 31, 1966 UNIVERSITY President Clifford C. Furnas, now beginning his 12th year at the University , announced las t April his intent ion to retire "because of age" on August 3 1 o f next year . Dr. Furnas, appointed to the Un iversity in 1954 , announced hi s inten tion in a le tter presented to the Uni versiry Cou ncil. U nder the policy of the State University Board of Trustees, reti rement is mandat ory for administrative and executive officers of the U niversiry on the thirty-first day of August foll owi ng their 65th birthday. Dr. Furnas will be 65 on October 24 o f this year. 8 In a letrer to Mr. Seymour H . Knox . cha irman of rhe University Council , Dr. Furnas explained rhar he was giv ing sevent een months notice in o rder 10 affo rd th e loca l governing body "ample rim e to explore the field thor ough ly and recommend an o utsta nd ing successor ... Mr. Knox expressed deep regret over the necessity for this act io n on th e parr of "o ne o f the nation 's mos t dy nami c ed ucat ional administratOrs ." "H e led rhe University t hro ugh an unpr ecede nted program of expans ion and enrichment as a private institution in the late 1950's ; he was rhe guiding force in the eve nts leading toward the merger with t he State U ni versiry o f New York ; and he has brought the inst itution to the threshold of a mon umental g row th and readjustment . " In doing so," Mr. Knox co ntinued , " Dr. Furnas has always kept in mind the role which a m a jor univers ity must play in foster ing the cultural and econom ic g rowth o f a modern urban complex." While t he fi nal respons ibili ty for naming a successor will be that o f the State University Board of Trustees , M r. Knox said that the local Cou ncil has the ro le of screening and interv iewi ng possi ble ca ndid a tes and of maki ng recommendations to the trustees and the President o f Stare Universiry of New York . The Counci l named three of its members to se rve as a Committee for Selection of a New President for the Sta te University o f New York at Buffalo. They are Mr. Knox , William C. Bai rd, vi ce chairman of the Council , and Dr. Edwa rd F . Mimmack . Dr. A. Westley Rowland , Ass is tant to the President, Sta te Universiry at Buffalo, will serve as executive secretary of the Commi ttee . Mr. Knox said that the Faculty Senate of State Universiry at Buffalo and represenratives of the Gen eral Alumni Board also will be con sulted and asked to submit names of candidates to rhe Council Committee . Dr . Furnas became Chancellor of the then privately. supported Universi ty of Buffalo in 1954. He assumed the title of Presidenr of the State Uni versity of New York at Buffalo on September 1, 1962 - the date of the merger between the Universiry and the State system . • �The French visitors head coward Goodyear and Clement Halls ro begin their three-ho ur roue after lunching in Norron Union. They wdl be tmpressed with the view from the nimh -fl oor of Clemenr overlooking the golf course. THE OPEN DOOR POLICY In the Computing Center, located in the basement of Goodyear, they show deep interest and ask many questions. Like many peoples of rhe world, they are awed by rhe significance of the machine-age . 9 A SHORT TIM E after French Presi dent Charles DeGaulle ordered his jet lighters to force American picture-rak ing airplanes from the French sky chis summer, 150 of his coumrymen, armed with photographic paraphernalia, visired the Universiry's Western . New York N~lear Research Center. While there is no real comparison between these two evems, a few of the French visitors found the irony rather amusing. The diverse group composed of teachers, professors, physicians, sciemisrs and laymen, were interested only in the culcural aspects of American life. And the Universiry opened wide irs doors to them just as ir has been doing ro an increasing number of visitors, faculty and sr~,~denrs from around rhe world . �But rhe computer in rhe background is no march for the hu man expression on this Frenchman's face. The group's un · inhibited mannerisms are a refresh ing experience for ca mpus personnel who meet them. Moving ro the orher side o f the campus, these French women remove their shoes to cool their hee ls as the g roup heads rowa rd the Nuclear Resea rch Cenrer. This old man is rhe senior membe r of the group bur his stamina throughout the afternoon hike belies hi s 80 years and shames some of his younger coun· trymen . Though his 35mm came ra is inactive at the momenr, he made good use of it during rhe tour while som e of hi s colleagues found a resti ng pla ce. As members uf the Assmi at ion Bourguignonne C ult u relle , D ijo n, the Frenchmen were touring Amer ica and Canada and stopped at the Unive rsit)' enroute to Niagara Falls, T oro nro a nd Quebec. After a luncheon in the Mil lard Fillmore Room of Norton U ni on they were divided into three groups tou r ing Norron U ni on, the Computing Cenre r.

There were 26 srudems from China, 18 from the United Kingdom, 8 from Germany, 7 Cubans, 6 each from Korea and Pakistan and 4 each from France, Hungary, Israel and South Africa . Eight other nations had two students enrolled while twelve foreign lands were represented by a single srudent. On the undergraduate level a total of 72 foreign students were involved. In addition to these permanent and transient visirors to the campus, many members of the University faculty have been , and are now, pursuing advanced studies an~ serving as consultants in Taiwan, Belgium, France and India, jusr ro mention a few places. Finally , the University, now eight years along in a cooperative medical and nursing education program with rhe National University of Asuncion in Paraguay, is considering extending rhis program into the field of general education .ac the same university . This program will probably be effective sometime early next year as the University continues to assume a melting por character. • She is getting nor a shoeshine but a radioactivity check upon leaving the Nuclear Center.

Capen was inaugurated as the first full -time Chancellor in 1922 . He inunediately made two proclamations which predicted the modernization of the University - and the delicate balance which had to be maintained. Chancellor Capen called for both the integration of the various schools and for a dynamic recommitn}ient to the principles of academic freedom . He knew fhat the former need not endanger the latter if proper vigilance were maintained . He championed these principles with great distinction for 1 twenty-eight years. The last major period of progress as a private Uni· versity was launched with the construction of the first campus dormitory in 1953. In the post World War II era of international scholarship coupled with the demand for a breadth of understanding of the civilized world never before required, it became impossible for a University with visions of major stature to remain a "streetcar college." As a private university, it was found that the resources available simply did not match our vision of the role we could fulfill in meeting the future . Studies in the late " 50's" revealed that our needs meshed with the long-range goals of the State University of New York . The merger with State University in September 1962 brings us to our present phase of development. Although adjustments had to be made and complex relationships worked out, the announcement of a new $130-million campus in Amherst is emblematic of State University's commitment to the development of a superior institutions of national stature in Buffalo. We stand, then, on the threshold of still another historic era - an era in which there is a greater recognition of the potentials of the educated and enlightened mind than ever before in history. With the assurance from State University that the physical plant and the basic financial resources will be available, our present, clear mission is to apply to these material components the intellectual ingredients of dedicated scholarship, imaginative research and unselfish public service. In this Founder's Day issue of the Colleague, I feel that it is appropriate to assure you that the result will be a major university center of national eminence. .._ By C. C. Furnas Prnidenl JT WAS 11 9 YEARS ago this month- on May 11, 1846 - that a bill passed the New York State Legislature authorizing the est~lishment of the Un1 · versity of Buffalo. A fund ra1smg dn~e spear~eaded by Millard Fillmore ra1sed the authonzed cap1tal of $100,000 and in August the stockholders met to elect the Council of the University . Fillmore was elected Chancellor, a position he retained until his death in 1874 . On Wednesday, June 16 of the following year, the first commencement was held and medical degrees were conferred on seventeen "young gentlemen." This year some 2,000 "young ladies and gentlemen" will be awarded undergraduate degrees in more than eighty fields, as well as twenty-three different certificates and degrees in graduate and professional education. The educational progress which has ensued durin~ the 119 years between these two commencements IS representative, in many ways, of the evolution of American higher education. TypiCal of the break w1th traditions experienced by frontier settlements, the Uni· versity of Buffalo did not begin in the heritage of a theological and classics curriculum which was the bedrock of its East Coast sisters. Rather, it reflected a grass-roots impetus which led to a great urban univercity whose curriculum was designed to meet the selfevident needs of an emerging community. In Buffalo's case, that inunediate need was for med ical practitioners. With the establishment of the School of Medicine, the first historical phase of the University's development began. Between 1846 and 1922 the Un iversity was comprised of a loosely-knit and widely-scattered group of professional schools, each autonomous. World War I highlighted the sweeping changes from an agrarian to an industrial society. Recognizing the changing needs of the area it served, the University made plans to centralize its resowces. 2 �SANFORD SYNO.PSJ:S Dr. NeviH Sanford Stanford University "What we offer the undergraduates is a dosage of unintelligible and essentially meaningless concepts an enormous diet of concepts which they can't connect with any experience they have had . The system is not governed by any educational theory - but merely reflects the interests of the departments. "Although bigness in and of itself is not an· evil, concomitent with fast growth it seems to bring the loss of a sense of purpose and the lack of ability to detennine the course of a university from within. "We allow ourselves to be directed here and there by outside forces and we lack the instrumentality to control ourselves. "With the growth of American universities has come an ever greater participation in our technologies -consequently, the university and the people in it tend to identify themselves with the technologies which are rewarding them. However, the fact that society demands specialization does not mean that society is best served by it. " Each department and each school is pushing to advance itself through specialized research which is best rewarded. Because o1 this focus on specialization and research, the university has tended to emulate other mass production enterprises. It sets up agencies to handle different funct10os - and they are essentially arbitrary divisions with fixed principles for their management. For example, we have the academic dean and the dean of students ; the academic function is on one side and the recreational on the other. There is a vast arrangement to perfonn functions, but no · agency for dealing with iQdividual people. "'WE ARE TODAY at the threshold of a social revolution- a revolution reflected by today's undergraduate who is demanding an examination of the human and social problems created by technology and specialization." With this forecast, Dr. Nevitt Sanford, director of the Institute for the Study of Human Problems at Stanford University brought to the surface an undercurrent of concern hovering beneath the surface of American acad~ic life. An April 10 Faculty Conference, which explored "The Size of the University and Its Implications," heard Dr. Sanford in the morning plenary session. Dr. Sanford 's theme is finding an increasing audience among thoughtful academicians throughout the country. He traced the movement to the interrelated forces of technology and specialization, coupled with constant growth. The essence of his remarks follow : "The Universities which are going to become great, anticipate this social change and make their plans accordingly. "The period of specialization may be coming to an end in the sense that students will automatically find their niche without questioning the system. The problems of life with which they want to be involveCl are not in the mantle of existing specializations. "In order to improve undergraduate education, we must recognize that the learning of content is not the essential thing . . . a range of concepts and/rinciples do not automatically make a student educate . f) 3 �of the students. We haven't been really interested in education in the Jast twenty years. We have been primarily intereste in training, which has, of course, made undergraduate training more like the: traditional high school sequence, and the: graduate training more like the undergraduate training used to be. The net result has been the birth of the multiversity- diversity of organisms not in rational interaction with each other. Any one part could and would be supported somewhere else. "If we arc to have wholeness we must have integration -each part contributing something to the whole. And if there: is to be integration, it must be in accordance: with a purpose all can share. This purpose: can only be the education of students. The only rational reason for having all the university facilities in one J'Iace is because the students are there. Unless we fin ways to share with students the ideals of university life, and unless the idols of the educated man genuinely exist within our faculties and are communicated, then everything we stand for disappears and I can only ask, ·research and training for what r "There is a student idiom at Berkely, 'You can't trust anybody over thirty'. Probably the undergraduates feel that way because there is no way for them to get to know anybody over thirty. "As size and super-specialization increase, both faculty and administration behave more and more as performers of particular functions . Any one official's integrity as an individual may be intact, but his hands are tied because of the requirements of his office. He must tell the student 'I'm here to do what has been pre-determined that I should do by my role in the structure.' "Perhaps the deepest tragedy is that all of this goes on without any particular plan . We are caught up in a technical process which nobody controls. "All I have been saying then is a prelude to the introduction of the heart of the problem - the neglect 4 "Whenever we lost professors over the years, I had a feeling that they were not being replaced. They stood for certain values over and above their prc>fession . We don't find this type of man very often anymore. Today, every member of a department is a star. This puts tremendous pressure on everyone, and yet the: level of truly creative work is not as great as in the days when some people were entitled not to be stars. In my book it is better to have disciples than publications. We have lost sight of the fact that the learning of content is not the essential thing. A range of concepts and principles do not make a studcut educated. If we could recognize that education is a matter of certain kinds of experience, we would all be free to experiment. "Then there would be an opportunity to work a rational sub-division of the: whole enterprise - and this will not be accomplished by departments. I think the study of Greek civilization to devc:lop iorellect can be: used as well as a four or five course range. ~oward "How, then, are we going to get undergradualr �teaching done~ It won't ~ done by love alone, and it can't ~ done by money either. "We need to introduce into the university a dif· ferent kind of institutionalized agency, devoted to different kinds of research as well as teaching . This Jgency would illUstrate that specialization is not the only kind of inquiry there is. !here are certain kinds <)f problems that have to ~ attacked by generalists. I would like to see at every university this type of 1nstitute which would ~ charged with attacking prob· lems in a multi-disciplinary way, and these people would ~ asked to take part in undergraduate teaching. "This brings us to the graduate student - and we must do something about graduate students. We have alienated the graduate student from the intellectual community. Instead of identif,ing with the academic community, they now think o themselves as a large Jnonymous group. Department heads take advantage of the situation by changing to the high school format. More tests prevent the graduate student from feeling that he is one of us. Instead of identifying with the fJculty. they identify with undergraduates and become leaders of undergraduate movements. If there is no chance of moving into the dominant heirachy, the tendency is to identify very strongly with the underdog. "Graduate education, then, has become the process of pumping technical subjects into the graduate stu· dent for longer and longer periods, in an effort to try to turn out good Ph.D.'s. We would do better, it seems to me, to produce Ph.D.'s in three years by communicating the essential spirit and getting rid of the specialized subjects. "Graduate students should be brought back into the educational enterprise and they should receive rewards for their part in undergraduate teaching. There should be seminars ta'\Bht by graduate students to smaJI groups of undergraduates so that such people as freshmen would be allowed to attach themselves to graduate students. "This would lead to the graduate student again feeling needed at the university- and the university could again assume that they are members of the community rather than forever testing them with a view toward throwing them out. "To accomplish all this we must think in terms of communities of 300 to 400 people - that is assuming that you need this type of community to put across the values of intellectual life. The main point to remember, however, is that it is not just how often a student sees a faculty member, but the quality of the contact made. To deal with a student as an individual, a faculty member must become an individual to .that student And anybody I've ever known who has taken the time and trouble to get to know students well, has become a university man. "The student is out to nourish his humanity. We cannot dismiss this as an adolescent rebel who wants to go against society. The university which is going to become great will anticipate this change and will make its plan accordingly." • 5 �DINING Con/erence Commenf., FACULTY AND STAFF members who attended the Faculty Conference, Saturday, April 10, came as individuals ; name tags further identified them by depa rtments ; but many left feeling they had identified themselves as members of a uni versity faculty. It 's an unusual gathering on campus that fosters thi s oneness - - but it was so well-received that one of the first reactions was summed up by a faculty mem· ber, who said : " Let's have more and next time include students ." The seventeen group d iscussions held after the pre· sentation by Dr. Nevitt Sanford, Director of the Institute for Study of Human Problems at Stanford University, each consisted of eleven to .fifteen persons from eight to ten different departments of the Uni· 1·ersity. This diversity of special interests and backgrounds was no hindrance to discussion of, "The Size of the University and Its Implications." As they aired aspects of the conference theme, despite varying attitudes, a common denominator of interest was apparent. Profeuor Soul Touster of the School of law, (foreground) chairman of the Faculty Con · ference committee, participates in a group discussion . I 6 �The .. ventHn group dlocv .. olono each conllioted of from eleven to fiftHn portidponh from varlouo deportrnenh of the Uni¥enlty. To find one's previously unknown colleagues ex · pressing concern with the same problems that one had privately considered, or discussed with co-workers, of defining the roles of universities, administrations, fa culties, and student bodies, resulted in individual ideas snowballing into a united faculty concern. An intense interest was shown in organization of the new University so that it may serve the goals of higher education. This spurred general group discussions attempting to define what a university owes to society. Further breakdown brought comments on obligatio ns of inter-relationships of faculty, administration and students. One professor asked, "How do we identify students to approach for valid studtnt opinion)" Another suggested furthering inter-faculty communication by weekly lunch-hour meetings of faculty from different departments to hear of activities, within various departments. Dean John Saywell of York University in his noontime discourse brought out some groups' approach to university organization based on the college plan as opposed to departmental structure. A suggestion by foreign faculty in one discussion group, that the European university organization by colleges was the answer, was not accepted by an American professor who felt, "We are stuck with a bureaucratic framework and must operate within it." Future direction of University emphasis was approached from opposing avenues. One group thought that the University should be established as a "highquality graduate institution."

WITH THE TRANSITION of the University of Buffal o from a small . private institution to a State University having multiple responsibilities, con· ce rn has ari sen about the quality of undergraduate teachi ng itself. Such questioning is not un ique to Buffalo; it is heard from Berkeley to New Haven . Many universit ies all O\ er the country are undergoing the same sort of growth. It is therefore appropriate fo r a Un iversity faculty to rev iew its primary objecti,·es in order that they not be forgotten or diluted in the exuberance of expansion. service of the University to the community must re- • main teaching and research. The deplorable tendency to separate this combined function in terms of salary, space, or sources of financial support dulls the Uni,·ersity 's purpose. We cannot progress with a single mind if the State supports only teaching and the federal Government only research, or if faculty is remunerated for teaching, but promoted for research. Such an arrangement eventually will lead to academic schizophrenia with the neglect of one or the other aspect of our total mission. T raditionally, the function of the University has been simu ltaneous acquisitio n and dissemi natio n of knowledge . hen application of Californian jargon ca nnot alter this basic responsibility. Many academ ic .1d ministrators would add publ ic service as a primary Uni versity fun ction, but I feel that the most important Investigation and education on the University level are inseparably united, unlike the high schools or smaller colleges where teaching itself is the principle aim, or the institutes of purse research. Let the University take care that it attract those faculty who are dedicated to this combined responsibility. Let others seek the sequestered solitude of the small college or the sterility of the research institute. We want those uncommon, talented scholars who can both augment and instill knowledge. We want faculty with sufficient dedication to their discipline that they devote them · selves toward channeling younger people into its study. We want professors w1th enough confidence in their own comprehension that they are willing to subject it to the give-and-take questioning of the classroom. And, most of all, we want intellects with humility to deal respectfully with younger minds at earlier stages of development. If our fundamental pwposes are kept clearly in our m ind, I have little worry about the quality of undergraduate teaching in the expanding University. At the heart of a University education remains the conjoint pursuit of learning by the teacher and the taught. The University undergraduate seeks and must receive direct stimulation from the enthusiastic scholar who is devoting his life to research. A University education is ever changing as newer knowledge and insight arise. This dynamic process of sifting and re-evaluating occurs best in an atmosphere of active inquiry such as prevails in a research setting. It requires only that the faculty regard the undergraduate student, no less than the graduate student or post-doctorial fellow, · as a colleague seeking knowledse. A Dr. Noel Rose Auociate ProfnJor of Bacteriology a11d Immu11oiogy 8 �Concomitant with the new identity of universttles, although not necessarily directly or exclusively related to tt, there extsts strong evidence that students dislike a~d disfavor what they feel is a progressively growing altenattOn from thetr professors. Some students view themselves, as a result of this alienation, as intellectually amorphous or as anonymous university-community citizens who participate only through sheer physical presence. This feeling seems to be intensified to those academic communities wherein spontaneous tntellectual contact among students and faculty is for some reason minimized or deleted altogether. The extent of the feeling of student alienation is functionally related to the degree of intent for involvement by students who attempt to control certain aspects of operation in their respective college or university . The vast increases in academic-student populations does not justify indifferent advising, large lecture courses, or examinations which are not intellectually challenging for long periods of time. As a result of the population increases in academic communities by individuals who seek a formal education, the universities admit to a major inheritance for emphasizing and sustaining certain basic and dear human values. It is not by quantitative bureaucratic routines that universities will help undergraduates to determine what their respective potentials are - personally as well as professionally - and hopefully to move toward the fulfillment of such potentials. What is involved here is an intellectual taslc that is wanting of constant intellectual priming by professors who respect their students' integrity enough to help these students to · see the ways for themselves. Stuaents with this additional preparation will ordinarily develop a point of view (after an intelligent, personal evaluation of available relevant information) as a matter of course - a risking that is peculiarly conducive to the integrity for sustaining a democratic society. A. versity to a multiversity, r1duate education, ' graduate education? J WISH TO CLAIM that what occurs to each student during his undergraduate collegiate career is most likely to be dependent on the direct, rrsonal intellectual interaction between himself an his professors rather than upon the cumulative course content of his classes. Individual professors represent to each stu dent either adequate or inadequate models for the enthusiastic support of the learning and creative processes; adequate models, in this respect, are represented by professors who do not resent fostering and developing an intellectual association with a student, if the latter requests it. On occa5ion, such an approach is indeed necessary in order that particular students be guided to learn for rhemselves how to seek out and to search for relevant material that is related to their respective topics of interest in conjunction with specific courses. Unless a college (or a college within a university) , maller how large is able to function in a manner such that it can firmly insure for the opportunity for thorough student-faculty intellectual associations even at the undergraduate level, then such an institution ought to become prepared to be satisfied with having graduates of a relatively mediocre vintage - a vintage that would be comprised mainly by those ci!.izens who most likely could not and would not attempt to entwine imagination with experience and experience with imagination in various aspects of their lives. Akin to this aspect of education, the physical or spiritual, the esthetic, as well as the social consciousness, is obviously at stake. Thus a university ought to optimize its existence toward abe development of a propensity and disposition, on the students' part, to wish to relate the structure of ideas to their own lives. 110 Universities also exist, however, primarily as well for the creation, re-evaluation and dissemination of all humanly conceivable knowledge. At the same time, most academic faculties have become progressively sensitive to the immediate needs of contemporary society ; this is evidenced and exhibited by the increased degree of energy on the part of faculties for additional research with emphasis on more immediate utility to society. In this respect, universities are in the process of re-defining their function and meaning for education . Dr. Aristotle Scoleda Associalt Proftssor of Philosophy 9 �( on/ere71 Ct' (ruJJnlt.•ntJ - CfJ IIftnued contact with student problems and providing for more student contact with faculty as persons. And as always when university professors meet to talk of their work, " Publish or Perish" arose. Criticism of choosing a professor "by measuring his bibliography " brought the always enigmatic, "But how can good teaching be evaluated ?" A questionnaire to students seemed a partial answer, and "Colleagues entert ing their fellows ' classrooms," received supporting comment. When a member of the University administration presented the view that the pressure for publishing comes from the faculty themselves, some agreed . No group found a solution - none had expected to but one observed, " airing such problems, recognizing and identifying them in this sort of framework (conference), serves as a beginning." Whatever else the groups discussed, nearly every group devoted some time- and many, most of the time- to the need of a means for expressing a faculty voice; to translate free faculty discussion into effective action. One professor suggested this need of a mechanism for presenting a corporate faculty opinion as a suitable theme for a future faculty conference, unless "reorganization of the Faculty Senate makes it unnecessary." Criticism by colleagues in a different group was directed to the organization of the Faculty Senate which "renders the Senate powerless to reflect a faculty opinion because it is heavily weighted with administrative personnel." Nearly all of the seventeen groups said, "There is now no means for effective faculty participation in University matters of decision and policy making." Some tempered this to: "If such mechanisms exist they are not now being used." In presenting this attitude before the afternoon panel, the 263 registered participants of the conference heard an administration view expressed by Dr. Lester Anderson, vice president of University Affairs. He stated that the necessary mechanisms for faculty participation are present through the departmental organization, through the Faculty Senate, and through various committees formed for specific problems. The overwhelming observation of the total conference shown in group discussions and the afternoon panel discussion was : This University has a university faculty with a great concern for the future of the institution- how will they, or can they voice this concern effectively? & concern w.ls thJt unde rgraduate teaching and sen·icc cuurses might be slighted as the Unil'ersity grows. One Rr oup member felt the figure projections of the ratio of future graduate students to undergraduates presented a cons iderable decrease in percentage of graduate students from what had pre1·iously been pre dicted, dnd 9ucstioned "What of the graduate student s who ha 1·e come here expecting greater emphasis on graduate schooling ,.. Another professor stated his 1 rew that graduate students are now alienated from the Uni1·ersrty community, and that there is need for J way to m.1ke this sc,gment a sig n ificant part of University affairs. A Jrofessor of dentistry found the group he conlerse with 9uite interested to hear of that School's system of student advisers .IS one means of developing 10 �" I believe we can make the trans1t10n all at once and very smoothly, " says Mr. Doemland . He points out that dormitories housing !!,620 single and married undergraduate students will be the first buildings to go up in the first of three phases of construction which will be underway sometime this year and completed by 1967. Completion of the second and third phases and the health science complex on the present campus he predicts for 1972. " We will try to avoid high-rise dormitories and keep them between three to five stories, " says Mr. Doemland. " One possibil ity might be six to eightroom apartments with study areas shared by a group of students." Travel from one campus to the other is now being studied by Cornell Aeronautics Laboratories, he says . " They may have in mind a monorail system or an underg round capsule system." If the latter system is used, it could be boarded at either campus location and at one other strategic location " probably Delaware Park, " he says. What will become of the vacated buildings that will exist on the present campus when the transition is made? "There may not be much use for them and renovation might not be feasible," says Mr. Doemland. Does this mean demolition? "That's a possibility although it is conceivable that they may be converted to the specific needs of the health schools," he says. Mr. Doemland says that Rotary Field would be the most likely location for the proposed county hospital and a teaching hospital which he estimated would be completed in 1968. Construction of other new build ings, including a medical school, will also give the present campus a new face. When Mr. Doemland's planning and development program is transformed into a new University campus and comes to life with students, faculty and staff, the architect's dream will be real ized . H is satisfaction will be shared by nearly every administrator and many of the faculty at the University who will contribute to specific plans and overall planning. A Perhaps the big dream of an architect is to plan and de velop a complex of bu ild ings in harmon ious relatio nships where once lay acres of empty land . The University's new campu s site in Amherst , while not entirely a virgin tract of land , will afford Mr. W illiam F. Doemland the chance to direct the plan ning and development of a highl y compl ex structure which will even,tually come to li fe as a uni versity . The youthful Mr. Doemland , who assumed the di rectorship of planning and development last semester, finds the new campus a " challenging" task. Wh ile his responsibilities may not have been of such vas t proportions in the past, the tall, slender architect brings confidence and experience to the job. A soft-spoken individual, the arch itect is no newcomer to university planning and design ing. A former senior associate with the national architectural firm of Perkins and Will, he has served as a consultant for architectural development to this University and State University College. His planning skills have been employed at numerous other campuses across the country including the University of Denve r, Duke University, Lake Forest College, New York University, Virgini a Wesleyan College, Wagner College, and his alma mater, the University of Illinois. In Illinois he designed the International Minerals and Chemical Corporation Building at Skokie, which has won several national architectural awards for outstanding design. He is also the designer of various elementary, junior high, and senior high schools throughout the United States and several commercial, industrial, housing, and urban development projects. On the present University campus, he served as a consultant for the general campus plan, Goodyear Residence Hall, and other buildings. In his present position, Mr. Doemland is responsi ble for coordinating the University's development in the areas of land acquisition and architectural development and for co-ordinating equipment requests and utilization a{, present and projected campus space. Mr. DoemlanH says that " work can begin immediately" on the four hundred acres already acq~ired by the University for its l ,000-acre new campus s1te. He says that utilities will start going in this summer. He points out, however, that the master plan for the new campus will suffer a two-week delay but w11l be ready in mid-May. How will the University continue to funct ion during the transition from the present campus to the new site? 11 �BOOKS BY JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE B)' DR . PETF.R Bo ERN ER. A isociate Profe JJor of Modem LA11guage. Pub liJhed by Rowohlt-V erlag, Hamburg, 1964. N umber of pageJ, 187 . A biography with seventy illustrations, this monograph was published as volume 100 of the Rowohlt monographs. It draws mainly from autobiographical material, attempting to give a description of the life and thoughts of Goethe, viewing him not only as a poet, but also as a scientist and humanist who look opposition to the social and political developments of his age. OR. BoERNBR came to the University faculty in 1964 as associate professor from the University of Wisconsin. He received his doctorate in 1954 from the University of Frankfurt am Main.

THE RED KINGDOM OF SAXONY Lobbying Grounds for Gustav Stresemann By DR . DONALD wARREN JR ., AJJociate ProfeJJOI' of HiJtory . Published by Nijhoff, The Hague, 1964 . Number of pageJ, 108. Saxony acquired the sobriquet of the "Red Kingdom" after the federal elections of 1903. Young Stresemann, by exploiting the latent economic particularism, rapidly built the association of Saxon industrialists into a regional lobby strong enough to take a moderate reformist position. Describing the complex events of Saxon particularist politics in the first ten years of the twentieth century, the author makes a contribution to knowledge of the internal history of the Kaiser-reich during the tragic decade before the First World War. 12 DR.

He Srudied at Stanford University, University of Arizona, and Mexico City College where he obrained his bachelor of arts degree in 1947. He received his docrorare from Columbia University in 1959. He previously tauBht at Columbia and Long Island Universities and is a member of several professional associations. �SW,NIURNE'S THEORY OF POETRY Bl DR. THOMAS E. CONNOLLY, ProfeJJor of Eng/i;h. Pub/i;hed by The State UniverJity of New York, Albany, New York, 1964. (Distribution by Antioch PreJJ, Yeilow Springs, Ohio.) Number of pages, 144. This atudy is based upon the assumption that behind every piece of Swinburne's criticism and behind every effusion of appreciation lies a solid core of poetic theory that can be recovered by a careful analysis. The author has gathered Swinburne's various principles of poetic theory into topical grouping&, from the most general to a consideration of specific details applicable only to individual types of poetry. Swinburne's attribution of questionable ports of Elizabethan and Jacobean plays has been deliberately excluded from this 'Nark. OIL CONNOLLY joined the Univeniry faculry in 19H. He obwned Ills bachelor of science degree from Fordham in 1939 and his doctOrate from the University of Chicago' in 19H. He hu coou ibuted numerous articles to professional journals and has published boob both io the United Swa and EnJ)and. He was area critic for the National Council of Teachers of English, 1961-62.

This semester they have visited Nepal, India, Korea and are currently in Malaysia. The expense of their travels has been no more than enrollment in a special course taught by foreign scholars brought to the United States by the University's Visiting Asian Professors Project. To date, enrollees have been exposed to the cultures of ten nations through the lectures of twenty-four professors from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Burma, Malaysia, Nepal, India, Ceylon, Pakistan and the Philippines. The Project originated when Dr. Burvil H. Glenn, professor of educftion and director of the Project, met with Dr. Francis Young, head of the Fulbright program . Dr. Glenn asked Dr. Young why Asian scholars were not invited to the United States to lecture on a wide scale and explained his idea of the Visiting Asian Professors Project. ''In the past," says Dr. Glenn, "Asians have been invited to visit and study in our country, but seldom to lecture." What was lacking, of course, was someone with enough interest and enthusiasm to undertake the task of planning and directing such a project. When Dr. Glenn undertook the task, he received a grant from the Department of State to visit Asia and acquaint American officials, university administrators and prominent candidates with the Project. After visit· ing fourteen countries, Dr. Glenn selected the visiting professors for the 1962-63 academic year. With the support of the Asian Foundation, the Department of State, the Conference Board of Associated Research Councils (The Fulbright Program) and the University, Dr. Glenn was ready to launch his brainchild. Dr. Syed Hussein Alatas, the current Visiting Asian Professor, from Malaysia. !) 3 ,;,,.,..,._ .. ~ �An honor guard ceremony performed by school boys in Chittagong, a sea-port city of East Pakistan, greets Dr. Haddon James, retired educator from New Mexico, and Dr. Glenn. The University, however, is not the only entity reaping the benefits of receiving first hand knowledge from the Asian scholars. As anticipated, the professors have been constantly utilized by numerous civic organizations and secondary schools. Nor is the University the only participant in the Project. The professors, on a rotating basis, have been telling their story to students at several other participating universities. The rotating aspect of the Project was envisioned by Dr. Glenn as the key to maximum exposure to Asian culture. He estimated that 80,000 .American students would be exposed to a broad cultural picture of Asia. Some of the other universities participating in the Project include Fairleigh Dickenson, Bradley, Rhode Island, Missouri, Eastern Illinois, Central Michigan, and Western Michigan. At most of the universities, the professors, who are specialists in the humanities and social sciences, te~ch undergraduate courses and a graduate seminar for teachers of history and literature. The professors use their special disciplines as the focal point for their lectures and are placed with faculty members '>f like interests while on campus. "Because the subject matter of the professors i~ interd isciplinary, it's hard to fit the Project into any one discipline," says Dr. Glenn. " But· it seems to fit well in the School of Education," he adds. Dr. Burvil H. Glenn ProfeJJ or of Education 4 .....! �Despite the technological advances in the field of Dr. Gle.nn feels that. per~onal co~tact is more effective and qu•te necessary 1f m1sconcept10ns are to be dispelled. "It's amazmg how few people know about or understand the cultures of our Asian neighbors," says Dr. Glenn. More amazing to Dr. Glenn is finding how few people know the geographical location of some countries. "Nepal is often thought to be a part of India. People are surprised to hear that it is a separate country with its own unique culture," he says. The Project has captured the interest of several other universities which have requested an opportunity to participate in it. The Great Lakes Colleges Association offered further evidence of interest when it asked to be kept informed of the development of the Project so that it might use its format in the future. Dr. Glenn believes the Project has had a tremendous 1rnpact on faculty, students and the uiliVttsity community. This is evidenced by the increasing enrollment in the course, favorable comment by faculty and students, and calls for the Visiting Professors to lecture off campus and to make radio and television appearances. Enrollment has increased to over eighty students and will probably continue to increase, according to Dr. communicatio~s, Glenn. His enthusiasm for the Project receives an extra spark whenever someone tells him that the Project is a "good thing" and should be continued . "It will continue as long as the interest remains, " he says. De. Glenn also believes that the impact is felt by the visiting professors, broadening their knowledge of university education in America. Calling the Project a "double-edged" program, Dr. Glenn relates that there are literally thousands of Asians who know about the Un ited States, Buffalo and the Project. Although the Project has only four participating universities this semester, Dr. Glenn is optimistic that it will return to its original eight-member basis during the 1965-66 academic year. The summer program of the Project, which rotates the Asian scholars on a weekly basis, will also continue. During the summer months, the Project is restricted to the State University at Buffalo, Brockport, Oswego, Potsdam and Courtland. Dr. Glenn, who spent the 1956-57 academic year at the University of Karachi, Pakistan, under the Ful· bright program has a personal affinity with Asian culture. His great gratitude in being a part of the unique Project and his enthusiasm for carrying out the duties of its directors are obviously the reasons for its favorable reception. .& Dr. Glenn's tour of Asian countries included this river taxi station on the Brama Putra R;ver in East Pakistan.

The lean-faced man quietly work ing at the desk is perhaps the only person on campus who understands all the involvements remodeling an office brings. Director of the Maintenance Department, Mr. Gerald F. MacKay, says, "Although repair and cleaning in volves the largest staff, it is by far the most easily controlled area of work under our jurisdiction. These things we can plan for . The real headaches are traffic and parking control, and emergencies." The continuing battle of parking control can never be won while space is inadequate. But Mr. MacKay believes this campus rated a first in establish ing complete control of parking areas . Eighteen gates were installed on parking lots in 1957 to initiate this prog ram. Currently, twenty-six gates stand at the entraikes and exits of the campus lots. Besides the police who work on parking and traffic, Mr. MacKay has a regular crew assigned to just this problem. coll-eAGues Mr. Gerald F. MacKay, di rector of maintenance, is in constant contact with his office and security and fire safety forces through the use of two-way radio. Another first for MacKay's Department was the establishment of a complete K-9 Corps as a part of a campus security force. Six trained German Shepherd dogs, as used by various police forces, are used here mainly for night inspection of buildings. Each of the animals responds to only one officer ; all are leashed when patrolling and released only at the discretion of the officer. The emergencies Mr. MacKay refers to do not usually involve security or safety, as one might expect, but come with the snowstorms. A program for bandling this situation, as he describes tt, goes into effect at midnight with an alert from the polke. Five key 6 �An on the spot check of work lor Mr. MacKay may be any spot on campll-', anytime of day. It is this policy of service that MacKay stresses to his staff ... We exist to serve the education program," he says. The Maintenance Department makes a special effort to do their work with the least possible interference to the education program. Mr. MacKay adds, " No matter how small a job seems, we realize the individual handling a department or teaching program believes in the real need of his request. To this person and his program it is serious and we regard all requests for service with this in mind." In rendering these services, Mr. MacKay has the help of his two immediate assistants; Mr. Jim Sarra, in charge of utilities and construction and Mr. Alex Welk, in charge of buildings and grounds. The De· partment operates complete shops for painting, car· pentering, keys and locks, electrical work, refrigeration and plumbing, plus maintaining and servicing seventy licensed cars and trucks and about twenty other vehicles. Mr. MacKay considered the nearby golf course a fringe feature of University employment when he began his work here. The first year he managed one afternoon on the course and has added a total of three more during the years. What might be time away from the job is often given to professional organizations. He is a member and past president of the local chapter of the .American Institute of Plant Engineers ' (which is associated with the Technical Societies of Erie County), a member of the National Fire Protection .Association and last fall served as a panelist for a program in New York City of the New York State Institutional Power Plant Engineers, to which he also belongs. In January he was elected president of the Eastern Region National .Association of Physical Plant .Administrators of Universities and Colleges. He served four years on the executive board of this group as director, secretary and vice-president. .As vice-president last year he was responsible for its January program. He also served on the program planning committee for the Building Research Institute as a representative of the University Division. men are called, they notify others so that thirty-five to fifty people are informed that the operation is underway. ~ Performance on the job and through organizations does not eclipse planning and projecting for the future. Mr. MacKay is currently developing a proposal for the operation of his Department on the new campus. One advantage to Maintenance he foresees is the placing of staffs in accommodations designed for their needs. The situation may compound itself at this point by the inability of some workers to get to the campus. But enough are always able to respond so that eighteen pieces of equipment are put into immediate use. The Canadian-educated Mr. MacKay came to his position at the University in 1947 after twenty years as power plant engineer with the J. H . WiJiiams Company. "The basic plant operation is the same for a school as for an industry," he says. "The difference in a University setting is in dealing more with service and comfort than production. .Although we operate a production plant, we do not have the same economic pressure as industry but are responsible for serving many more people as individuals." .Although a University power plant is not directly responsible for product production, Mr. MacKay views the graduating student as the final indirect product of his endeavours. "Many students leaving this campus will, in time, be of tremendous importance to our nation and the world", he says, "it is gratifying to know I have played a part in this sort of production." A 1 �the student. Added to the concept of cheating as a manifestation of unusual behavior are the concepts of cheating as a manifestation of immaturity, attempts to test limits, symftoms of psychopathology, incomplete incorporation o positive social values (or, worse, complete incorporation of negative social values) . The faculty has taken the position that punishment as retribution should give way to relearning through rehabilitation. As Farnsworth points out, the faculty now seems to be "chieAy interested in seeing that the student who is guilty of wrong doing learns something from the subsequent corrective experience." Punishment is administered not so much as a deterrent to the population at large but in terms of the personal significance to the transgressor. Indeeg, the judicial procedures are frequently kept confi~ential and the entire proceeding is blanketed by a "cloak of low visibility" to insure the maximum protection of the rights of the individual student. We seem to have arrived at the point in the administration of student justice where we have accepted Sheviakov and Redl's "law of marginal antisepsis," namely, to help an individual without doing undue harm to the group. The dilemma inherent in the application of this " law" is quite clear when one observes the agony suffered by typical groups on this campus as they attempt to maintain the delicate balance implicit in protecting the integrity of the individual and safeguarding the integrity of the group. In effect there has been a shift in the conception and administration of justice dealing with student dishonesty. Has this shift been a meaningful one? Is it wholly consistent with the basic aims of a university? How has this shift been engineered? Certainly the faculty has a stake io the resolution of this dilemma and a responsibility to participate in the continuing dialogues dealing with these issues . They warrant the serious attention of everyone involved . A presented for discussion of topics of interest lo the Un iLeHen of comment or further di1cus· sion will be published os space permits.

JF YOU ASK most facul ty members about cheating Jmong stud ents you will probably lind them con · ' 1nced that the moral fibre of our student population 1s deplorable an d deteri ora ting, if not already decayed . Exa mples such as the recent test stealing incident at the Air Force Academy are available by the score. Surveys of Dean s and others who "really know" tend 10 ind icate that cheating is widespread among our undergraduate populat ions. .. Alas, " laments Professor X. " Students aren ' t what they used to be. " The fact of the matter is that students are very much as they " used to be" with respect to cheating. Studies publ ished over thirty years ago report that the incidence of cheating among high school and college students ranged from 2 5 percent to l 00 percent depending upon the definition of dishonesty . The only conclusion to be drawn from this survey of the literature is that we can probably conclude that we are dealing with a continuing problem rather than one of rather recent vintage and that our efforts to cope with it have not been terribly success£ ul. .Up until fairly recently , cheaters were dealt with w1thm the fr amework of " righteous indignation." Manifestations of dishonesty were regarded as unilateral phenomena reAecting the aforementioned "moral decay" of the student population . In recent years, there has been a tendency, for better or for worse, to regard cheating as a symptom emanatmg from complex motivational factors within Dr. Robert H. Roaberg Prof,uor of 8 Edt~calion �"1 l ''WHAT IS THE faculty responsibility in student cheating?" The _sl_il'pery .. term in this question is, obviously, rnp?nHbtlity. . Responsibility to whom?" I fondly ask tn the first mstance, and "Responsibility for what~ .. I murmur in the second. An Eng_lish teacher is likely to muse, "This above all-to thme own self be true."' I suppose that a man's first responsibili_ty, wh~ther he be a faculty member or a student, ts to htmself. He must main· tain his own integrity, otherwiS>e bits and pieces of him begm to fall by the wayside. Furthermore as a cer· tain ~i~d of man, a ':"embe_r of the facul~ has a responsJbtltty toward hts callmg. A teacher's sole (or soul) concern is with the pursuit, preservation and dispensation of tr:uth. Now he may bungle the 'truth, and . he does ~ JUSt often enough that it would be unwtse .for htm not to preserve a certain modesty about htmself whe~ he speaks of such high goals. But that very professiOn that he has chosen makes it necessary for him to have no truck with intellectual dishonesty of any sort, wherever it is found . A teacher has also a responsibility to his institution. If, as some have declared, a university or a college is no more than the sum of its faculty, each member of that faculty is responsible for preserving the peculiar exce~lence of that institution, and the peculiar or identifymg excellence of any institution of learning is its scholarly refutation. According to an old song, " Heaven wil protect the working girl," but I know of no such arrangement for the protection of universities. It is up to the individual members of the faculty to protect the old girl, alma mater. The faculty also has a responsibility to the public. When we turn out graduates that have been duly labelled B. A., M. A., or Ph. 0., we are implicitly sayin_g to the world , "Not only have these people acqutred x fackages of knowledge and y quantities and types o skills, but they have also acquired a respect for truth and a desire to pursue truth. You can expect this much of them at the very least." The responsibility of an institution to the public is negatively demonstrated by the fact that, when its graduates act in a ~isappointing or a heinous ~ashion, the institution sometimes revokes a degree, s01ps off the graduate's buttons, as it were, and drums him out of the corps of scholars of thad institution. Finally, the faculty has a responsibility to the student himself. The teacher has the responsibility to move among students like a Typhoid Mary infecting them with the love of truth; or, to shift and mix the metaphor in the middle of a sentence, he should so fill these vessels with a thirst for truth that there will be no room left in them-assuming that they have a decent pride in their own intellectual powers-for any shoddy dishonesty. So much for the first part of . my original question, "Responsibility to whon;a ?" Now, for what should the faculty be responsible? First, the faculty is responsible for maintaining standards of excellence. But the teacher must set realistic levels of what he expects from his students. I once knew a younger colleague who was very _depressed over the discovery of a case of _pla$1ansm m hts freshman English course. When I mqutred further, I discovered that he had set that poor class to writing sonnets, and then he was distressed that one student had solved his embarrassment by reaching for Untermeyer. I should have been content m_ any freshman English class that I taught if I could JUSt have got the students consistently, throughout the term, ~o recognize sonnets written by others, let alone to ~nte sonnets of_their own. I am not opposed to havmg students wnte sonnets or even triolets (I wrote one of the latter myself as a sophomore and I o_nce thought that it was very good), but to make thetr grades depend _on . the exhibition of such skill seems to blur the objectives of a course in freshman English. I have known others (and have sometimes been guilty in this fashion myself) who have set graduate-level standards of performance in undergraduate co~rses. Some students may be driven by sheer desperatiOn to cheat. I must be dear: I do not advocate gut courses; I merely suggest that realistic levels be set while we try to maintain that hard-todefine high level of excellence. Finally, I feel it is the responsibility of the teacher to remove excessive _temptation to cheat. Reason argues the folly of allowmg students to enter examination rooms weighted down with textbooks notebooks valise-like handbags and other accoute~ents. Som~ entrench themselves behind a redoubt of such material and then settle down to the examination. Of such a student, one might slightly alter Falstaff and say, "Temptation lay in his way, and he found it." If a notebook is not at hand, there is very little temptation to look into it. I have devoted so much space to the word responsibility that I have none left to devote to the more vexatious question, "What should the faculty do about student cheating?" Besides, the question was never directly asked. & Dr. Thomas E. Connolly Professor of English 9 I l �The Quiet Revolution Afte r the pressure of four yea rs of hi,llh school, today's college un de r~ ra d ua te stude nt may choose to proceed at his uwn pace. HAVING SQUEEZED themselves into everything from telephone booths to Volkswagens, today's uni,·crsity students are rebell ing against the latest squeeze -a four year underg raduate education into three and one-half years or less. The concept of acceleration is not being accepted by many college students at Buffa lo and other multi-universities and public institutions, acco rding to Dr . .Arthur L. Kaiser, director of admissions and records. Today's students have endured four long years of tensi on and anxiety in high school caused by the pressure from parents and teachers concerning the importance of being accepted into an institution of higher learning, according to Dr. Kaiser. The constant pressure, which reaches a crescendo during the senior year, has served as a mold for the new college student who is qu ietly revolting against the new type of pressureacceleration- at collese. According to Dr. Kaiser, one out of every four members of the entering freshmen class in 19150 are still pursuing an undergraduate degree in Buffalo or another Dr. Arthur L. Kaiser Director of Admissio11J and RecordJ 10 �mstitution . Approximately one out of three students completed his degree requirements by June of last year. Of this group, as many as fifty percent enrolled in at least one six-week summer session, thus taking more than the traditional eight semesters to complete course studies. Taking nine, ten or more semesters to finish their Jegree re9uirements is becoming the rule rather than the exception, according to Dr. Kaiser. "The students are resisting the concept of the fouryea r pattern," he said. " I feel it is the normal reaction to the high build-up of pressure du.ring high school regarding the importance of getting into college. Since the emphasis of being accepted is so great, the student, after being accepted, compensates by taking a lighter academic load ... At Buffalo, the entering students have strong academic records and are more highly qualified than stuJents accepted in the past. But despite the decrease m attrition rates, there will be no great increase in the number of graduates, according to Dr. Kaiser. Acceleration, despite its unpopularity, has in some cases become an ally of the students. At Penn State, the semester was shortened to ten weeks and the number of hours carried per student was also reduced to three or four courses. An unexpected dividend from this program was an improvement in the marks of the students and a reduction in the number of students going on probation. But calendar reform, according to Dr. Kaiser, is not the answer. Schools using . the quarter system have found that the majority of the students use part of the academic year to work. A Midwestern university using the tri-semester system had less attendance during its third (swnmer) semester than Buffalo did during its summer session. The new approach to undergraduate education has its pitfalls, however. Students without parents pushing them and a teacher hovering over them may tend to take it too easy and develop critical first-year difficulties. If there will be no significant increase in the number of graduates, will there be a decrease? "We won't know until we examine the statistics but the figures may show a decrease despite the fact that summer session enrollment has increased," Dr. Kaiser says. Thus the usually outspoken college student appears to be winning a very quiet revolution- one that uproots the traditional four-year concept of education. ~ Family scenes, such as the Dick Deichmans, appear more often on campus as the undergraduate student pursues a work-study schedule to meet family responsibilities while obtaining his bachelor's degree. 11 �SOME BOOKS FROM THE FACULTY MARKETING AND THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES Selected Readings Edited b;· DR. PERRY Buss, Prof euor and Chairman of Marketing . Published by Allyn and Bacon, Inc .. 1963 . N11mber of pages, 560. This book is o collection of readings from the fields of economics, psychology and sociology, with a few from marketing. The purpose of the book is to bring together a group of studies from these diverse areas in the belief that they can contribute to o better understanding of the field of inq~iry which marketing people consider their own . The readings are non-quantitative in noture and are but a first step in understanding the concepts of the disciplines involved . DR. BLISS has been wirh rhe Universicy since 1948. He obtained borh his bachelors degree and doctorare here, afrer attending Illinois Wesleyan Universicy and Harvard. Prior to joining the faculcy he was associated with national business concerns. He has conrribured numerous articles to markering and business journals and a chapter to a recent book on markering. In addition to his duties as Aeting Associate Dean of the School of Business, he is aaive in professional organizations and bas held official posts in several of them. He was a Ford Foundation Fellow at Harvard for the academic year 1960-61 , was a member of the Board of Editors of rhe journal of Marketing, and of rhe Narional Board of Directors of the American Marketing Associarion.

Amste1·dam , and Rand McNall y & Company, Chicago. 1964 . Number of pages, 2 13. Volume two in a series of books concerned with the quantitative approach to problems in the behavioral science field. Quadratic progromming is concerned with the problem of maximizing o quadratic function subject to linear inequality constraints. This book discusses a number of algorithms. The Theii -Van de Ponne combinatorical method and the Houthakker capacity procedure are discussed at great length . The methodological aspects of capacity procedures in general are exposed . A number of algorithms which mold a quadratic programming problem into the framework of a Simplex tableau are also explained . The exposition of these methods relies heavily on the work of Dantzig, Wolfe and Van de Po nne. 12 DR. Bocn came ro rhe Universiry from Holland in December, 1964.

This volume provides a collection of fifty significant papers contributing to theory in social psychology. Contributions from both psychologists and sociologists, are grouped into eight fundamental topic areas: Basic Issues and Processes; Culture, Learning and Group Identification; Society and Personality; Language and Communication; Person Perception, Interaction, and Role; Attitudes ond Cognition; Normative Behavior, Conformity and Intra-Group Processes; and Leadership, Power and Innovation. Editorial comment prefaces each section. The bibliography contains over 700 references. ARGENTINA AND THE UNITED STATES, 1810-1960 By DR. HAROLD F. PETERSON , Visiting Profefsor of History. Published by the State UniverJity of New York , 1964. Number of pages, 627 . This book is the first, in English or Spanish, to encompass the entire sweep of Argentine-American relations from the time of Argentina's revolt against Spain in 1810 to the close of its 150th year of independence. Through comprehensive analysis and narrative, this study illuminates one of the most enigmatic areas of Western Hemisphere relationships. The book helps to explain why in the twentieth .century the United States frequently faces an "Argentine problem". DR. HOLLANDER joined the faculty in 1962. He received his bachelor of science degree from Western Reserve University, and his doctorate from Columbia. He served as a research P'Ychologist with the Navy, and subsequendy held posu in social psychology at Carnegie Institute of Technology, Washingron University and. American University. During the' 19571958 school year he was a Fulbright Professor at the Uni\'ersity of Istanbul. He holds memberships in several professional organizations, and has published numerous research papers and articles in journals of psychology. DR. HUNT joined the faculty in 1961.

March 1965 Volume 1, Number 7 At some undetermined point, however, this innate ability to unhesitatingly prophesy one's future becomes choked with procrastination and uncertainty. Approaching adulthood, particularly in the case of today's collegians, the answer becomes one of ambi guity and bewilderment. The future, which during the undergraduate years appeared to be a millenium away, suddenly and swiftly confronts many unprepared college seniors soon to depart the comfort and insulation of the academic womb. COVER: Part of a picture of o refinery currently on d isplay in the University Placement Office . Story, poge 3 . The State Un ivers ity of New York at 8uAolo COLLEAGUE , mailed to faculty and stoA mem bers nine times o year on o month I y basis, S e pIe m b e r through May. is issued by the Division of University Affairs. EDITOR : Elizabeth Brooks DESIGN : Theodore Palermo PHOTOGRAPHY : Donald Glena ARTICLES : Robert McVe igh John Conte Daniel Rose EDITORIAL ADVISERS : Dr. A. Westley Row land Donald R. Riua As a major program in its services to students at the University, the University Placement Services is presently making a determined effort to · assist undergraduates in planning their careers. Under the direction of Or. James C. Lafkiotes, University Placement Services offers assistance and counsel in four major areas: Educational Placement, General Placement, Student Employment and Alumni Placement, the laHer under the supervision of the Educational Placement office. 2 �R EVERYONE Dr. James C. Lafkiotes Director of Uni versiiJ Placement Services By improving communication with the freshmen and sophomore stude,nts, the Placement Services hopes to create a better-p~epared senior who has a more realistic view of his post-graduate career. By working closely with University personnel who are in immediate contact with these students--dormitory advisors, University College counselors and other.,_the Placement Services is broadening the scope of its career planning program. "We prefer to talk to people long before they are ready to receive their degree," says Dr. Lafkiotes. "Since many of them have no knowledge of what employment in their chosen field is really like, it is much better for them to come to us early in their academic career." Increasing numbers of students using the services are also causing problems which hopefully will be solved by data processing. Both the increase in students and the increase in the number of companies and organizations using the services of the Office have initiated thoughts of using data processing to eliminate tedious bookwark. "We pride ourselves in our personal service," soys Dr. Carroll V. Mjelde, assistant director in charge of Education Placement Division. "By the use of data processing, we would be able to continue to deal with each student as an individual and retain the personal element in our operation." The data processing would be of invaluable assistance in recording openings, and in matching candidates with openings throughout the country. "As members of ASCUS (Association for School, College and University Staffing), we have reciprocal agreements with all members and fill requests for personnel from all over the country," Dr. Lafkiotes says. Last year, in educational placement, more than 8,000 requests were received concerning positions open from coast-to-coast. At the request of a student in education, a pocket of credentials is prepared with faculty recommendo,tions, courses completed at the University, list of extracurricular activities, and other pertinent information. Educational institutions may request the credentials when interviewing an applicant for a teaching position. With more and more credentials being kept on file, data processing again would solve a laborious bookwork problem. !) 3 �Students and industries in greater numbers are making use of the Un iversity Placement Services. Despite the fact tnat there is no mandatory regis tration with the University Placement Services, all stu dents are contacted and informed of services offered . In the General Placement Division, headed by M iss Mildred H. Blake, assistant director, career planning for students in fields other than education is available . There is a steady increase in the number of industries using the Placement Services in obtaining personnel. " With the expansion of the Un iversity, and the accreditation and recognition of many of our undergraduate and graduate programs, industries are in creasingly interested in coming to our campus in search of candidates," according to Dr. Lafkiotes. The University Placement Services also serves as an arena for an exchange of ideas between faculty members and industry representatives. Faculty members from the various disciplines meet regularly with i ndustria l officials to discuss new and changing cur ricu la-thus apprising industry of the changes taking p lace in higher education at Buffalo. " Also, " according to Dr. Lafkiotes, "the faculty members learn what industry feels is needed in improving higher education ." The Student Placement Division, headed by Mr. Carlton Lipsius, in addition to findi ng part-time employment for the financially-struggling student, also strives to place him in a position which is related to his field of study. The University Placement Services prides itself on personal service despite rapid increases in numbers of students seen . Mr. Lipsius is currently working with the University of Buffalo Foundation through the Alumni Office in a program to improve the number and quality of sum mer jobs, and heads a program serving low-income students under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. The University Placement Services is broadening its service to the alumni. Headed by George M . Binner, Alumni Placement assists graduates who are interested in moving to positions of greater responsib ility. The problem of maintaining complete records of all students placed is both a time-consuming and chronic problem. Data processing would eliminate much of the labor involved. Keeping precise records, however, is more dependent upon the graduate than the Office . Many students fail to notify the Office that they have accepted a position and an exact figure is not available concerning the number of persons placed. Each year a follow-up questionnaire is mailed to students to check on change of positions, marital status and various other aspects. Dr. Lafkiates feels that a research project should be initiated in this area of service . "Such a program of research would yield invaluable data relative to our contribution to the increased needs for college educated and professional personnel in New York state and the nation.'' .& �Imagination: Developed and Disciplined A MINIATURE "square globe" of the world on the desk of the director of Creative Education, Dr. Sidney Parnesl exemplifies the kind of thinking de· veloped in creative problem-solving classes when the inscription on the base--"And Then Came Columbus," -is added . In defining the word create, the first and often only definition considered is, "to bring into existence." More applicable to the creative problem-solving method is the further definition, "to produce a new construction out of existing materials." This is the purpose of the Creative Problem-Solving course. Creative problem -solving methods enable the student to produce a solution to a problem (a new construction) from a combination of his training, knowledge and experience (existing materials). The results a student can obtain by combining these materials Dr. Sidney J. Par~es Director of Creative Education depend as much on the various ways he combines them as on the amount of these factors themselves. The procedure compares to producing patterns with a kaleidoscope. The number of patterns formed depends on the number and kinds of crystals (amount of training, knowledge and experience) in the instrument (mind) and the number of times they ore regrouped by turning . The more ideas or pouible solutions produced, the greater the possibility of a good solution. Creative problem-solving seeks "quantity for the sake of quality." The course, offered during the school year and as a summer institute, has no pre-requisite courses or specialized areas. Two part-time instructors for the Millard Fillmore College offerings of the course are Mr. William Stockfield, associate director of the Institute, and Mr. Allan M. Darroch, supervisor of training, with Loblaw, Inc. 5 �The methodology of the course, as described by Alex Osborn, founder of the Creative Education Foundation, includes: Fact-finding; problem definition and problem preparation . Idea -finding; idea production and idea development . Solution-finding; evaluation and adoption . Students come from all fields . A predominance of students were from businesses when the first course was offered in 1949. Many fields have since respond ed and a list of eighty -six areas incorporating the creative problem-solving processes was prepared at the time of the tenth annual institute in 1963. In recent groups over one -third have been educators. Instructors arrive two days early each year to re fresh themselves by working with in-coming freshmen who toke the course as a non-credit interest. Firsttime enrollees can proceed, after the first three days of instruction, to coaching new in-coming freshmen , thereby beginning their preparation as future lead ers. These new instructors often further the spread of creative education when they return to their schools or places of business and implement creative methods in their work or establish new creative education courses. Courses pioneered at the University have served as models for over 1,000 similar courses in education , industry, government and the armed forces . One ~ of the most interesting transplants has been the new Creative Education Project at Macalester College, a Liberal Arts College in St. Paul, Minnesota . For two years Dr. Parnes has helped in establishing this program which is under the direction of an alumnus of the University Institute. The Macalester Project includes a course for undergraduates, a summer Institute modeled after that of Buffalo, research activities, and assistance to academic departments in encouraging creative learning . In January a one-day workshop was held at Macalester for 100 faculty of the college and of other educational institutions in the St. Paul -Minneapolis vicinity. A special feature of the Institute this year will be a series of symposiums on each of the four evenings of the program . The symposiums will concern the crea tive process in the visual arts, music, science and education . The art and music departments will cooperate in showing the relationship between the crea tive process in the arts and creative problem-solving in the sciences. Symposium participants will be Mr. Allen Sapp, chairman of music; Mr. leo Smit, professor of music; Mr. Robert S. Beckwith, assistant professor of music; Mr. Philip Elliott, chairman of art; Mr . Seymour H. Knox, chairman of the University Board of Trustees; and Mr . Joseph Mench, superintendent of Schools in Buffalo. The education symposium wi II include discussions of newly inaugurated orientation programs on creati vity for freshmen of Cornell University and Ma ca lester College, and programs for the gifted at Sands Point Academy and Country Day School. To facilitate the growth of creative education, Dr. Fornes has prepared a 152-page manual for instructors, a 100-poge workbook for students; and, with Dr. Harold F. Harding of Ohio State University, has edited, A Source Book for Creative Thinking. Current ly Dr. Taher Razik, assistant professor of education and research associate in Creative Education, assisted by several graduate students, is preparing a comprehensive bibliography on creativity and related topics. The search has uncovered approximately 5,000 references, which will be published by the time of the eleventh Annual Institute this June. Each June since 1954 the Creative Problem -Solving Institute has opened to enrollees from every slate, several countries and many fields . The program of the Institute has developed progressively to accommodate first -l ime enrollees and returnees. The Institute develops new instructors and leaders while it initiates the beginner in creative thinking. There's more than one way to fit a round peg into a round hole. Such practical, physi cal demonstrations attune the thinking of students to creative problem-solving approaches . 6 �A series of research studies regarding the development of creative behavior has been underway at the University since 1958. The Creative Education Foundation has provided suppont for this research, aided in 1963 by a two-year $46,000 grant from the United States Office of Education . Besides Dr. Razik, three half-time researchers are involved with the current project: Dr. Ruth Noller, lecturer of mathematics; Mrs. Toni Paterson, teaching assistant of philosophy; and Mrs. Dorothy Erismann, a retired English teacher. Further interdisciplinary emphasis is being provided to the study through continuous consulting by specialists from psychology, engineering, law and speech. Dr. Parnes has presented research results evaluating the Creative Problem-Solution course and evaluation of two of its underlying principles. Testing the specific principle of extended eflort in idea production showed this principle, followed in the creative problem-solving method, leads to on increasing proportion of good ideas with increased production. Complete summary information of this research was published by Dr. Parnes in o chapter of, Widening Horizons in Creativity, published by John Wiley and Sons, Inc ., 1964. Specific reprints from the psychological journals may be obtained from the Creative Education Foundation, 1614 Rand Building. Present research involves experiments testing the development of self-instructional devices. The first phase of programming of the course for self-instruction is completed. Dr. Parnes expects to finish the experiments next fall to determine the imp.act of the self-instruction compared to teacher-instruction and combinations of the methods. At the end of this project he sees the beginning of a major overhaul in restructuring the whole program! During his teaching, experimenting, directing and writing, Dr. Parnes has gathered quotes pertinent to creative education, including one favorite from Dr. Joe McPherson of Dow Chemical Company, "Conformity in behavior is a human necessity, but conformity in patterns of thinking is a human danger." A Extended effort in idea production leads to an increasing proportion of good ideas with increased production. ·' �presented for discussion of topics of interest to the Uni Letters of comment or further discus- venity community. sion will be published as space permits.

Ketter Chairman of Civil Engineering ARE PRESSURES FROM OUTSIDE the University caus ing faculties to lose traditional control of currsculum contents ' Are curricula being changed without faculty study ' Does "no action" mean no consideration ) Does increased outside activity necessarily mean less control of curricular matters) In elementary physics it is " taught" that whereas .1 body may move from location " A" to location "B". it is impossible to deduce from this mere statement of fact that motion took place due to an attraction for the body at " B" or a repulsion from "A" . It is cyu.1l ly impossible to infer from the statement how recept i,·e the body at " B" will be to further motion . So, too, with regard to the basic question at issue' When you get down to fundamentals, it is not really significant what particular curriculum is followed. That this year 's curriculum is different from rhat published in last year's catalogue is also not really smportant. The family, not the curriculum, has been md will continue to remain the focal point of the entire educational process. It is with regard to the lJUality and dedication of these individuals that con· cern should be directed . A responsive faculty and student body will succeed in spite of either conservative or radical " far-out " curricular pronouncements. Within limits, a meaningful experience will be provided to the students. However, should these limits be exceeded. I have no doubt that a dedicated faculty will "rise" .1nd bring about the necessary changes. In considering the relative importance of matters of this type, I often find my mind wandering back to .1 song I heard several years ago. It went somethinJ; like this: "Little boxes .. . , Lit.tle boxes ... , There's a green one, and a pink one, and a blue one, and a yellow one, .. . and they all look just the ~-" No 1 I do not feel that pressures from outside the Uniw:rsity are causing faculties to lose traditional con· trnl of curriculum contents! A Are Pressures from Outside the University Causing Faculties to Lose Traditional Control of Curriculum Contents? 8 \ �a producer of knowled,ge and repository of the cumu lati,·e experiences of mankind , sedulously avoid the fate of Prometheus. As of the moment, the tasks before the academic community are the construction of an over-a rching educational philosophy capable of preservi ng autonomous and unfettered inquiry into ulti· mate questions of nature and social reality ; and of creating sensitive responses to the pragmatic demands of men in their everyday affairs. What is at stake in this period of rapid university expansion is the integrity of the academic man. To meet the challenge of external pressures, we could compartmentalize the functions of the academic man i.e., specic~lists responsive to pragmatic demands and generalists responsive to ultimate questions. Although such a solution may act as a stop-gap for current ex ternal pressures, its long-run disadvantages outweigh its advantages. Elliott H. Grosof Auociale Professor of Sociology WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS the liberal arts have been less influenced by external pressures on curncu lum content than professional schools. In spite of th 1s relative immunity, external influences on universi ty organization have charged the academic community with new responsibilities for educational affairs. There has been a growing self-awareness within the .tcademic community that the university is the social mstitution most capable of creating and executing edul Jt ional pol icy for the local, national and international wm munities. The " ivy curtain" between the academic community and, broadly speaking, humanity has withered away together with other traditional values and perspectives. Granting the educational obligations of a univer: sity, the negative consequences of a bureaucratic partition of the academic man will nowhere be felt more strongly than in the classroom. Were the university to adopt a policy of specialists training other special ists, would not the academic community be neglecting the student in its obligation to educate the whole man, particularly if the student's speciality were made obsolete shortly after graduation? Would not the creation of a specialist faculty restrict academic flexibility and thereby contribute to the weakness and not the strength of a great university? Even in this hypothetical in · stance it is clear that the academic community must maintain a continual vigilance over the paradoxical quality of the academic man. That is, to bring knowl edge to the student body and the community in a manner which articulates what is universal in the particular and what is particular in the universal. The academic man cannot, if he is to operate on a theory of rising stature, for example, explore the cell structure of plants without asking, "what is life"? The academic community will, of necessity, have to .1Jupt a new posture toward the community and develop new modes of expression . External pressures on the substance of education will have to be recast in a juridi ca l language. The academic community must ask which competin~ claims for curriculum reorganization should have pridrity over others; which claims should be assessed as le.g itimate or illegitimate. In the lan,~:uage of policy formation, the academic community must determine how to translate its efforts on behalf of the interests of a narrowly circumscribed sub-group mto a contribution to the more inclusive community . In short, the academic community cannot avoid comint: to grips with long-standing issues of national rom munities which describe the reconciliation of distr ibutive interests and collective welfare. To be. sure, there are no pre-established formulas for optimum solutions to the dilemmas inherent in educational policy. Were the academic community to assume a passive posture, it would be responsive solely to policy of ''first come, first served" or a calculus of supply and demand . However, passivity would bind curriculum content ~o partisan preferences and tastes. 1he academic community must, if it is to survive as Consonant with expressions of the academic posture -policy-maker, producer of knowledge, and educatorand beyond the partisan claims for specialization, is the broader objective of university policy-to place as much knowledge as possible in the public domain. To accomplish this task the academic community must strive to perfect a language and vehicles appropriate to an audience drawn frem all walks of life and all regions of the world. In this light, external pressures on curriculum merit careful scrutiny as an additional responsibility of the modern university and the new academic posture. & 9 �MeeT YouR CaMPUS . it (poetry) comes immense with gasol ined rags who , in my seventeenth year, handed me from a ll the ce ll s surrounding me, books o f illuminati on ."

In California, he was greeted by the social upheaval commonly known as the "beat generation." Mr. Corso, along with Mr. Ginsberg, Mr. Jack Kerouac and Mr. William Burroughs, was labeled one of the leading exponents of the "beat" era.

In 1962, Eyre & Spottiswode of London published a book of selected poems by Mr. Corso which included selecti ons from several of his published works, plus a group of twenty-nine poems . On the book's cover, the publisher states that it is the first representative body of work from "one of the most interesting of this extraordinary group of American poets." Mr. Corso' s teaching duties at the University will keep him in Buffalo until the end of the Spring semester. He has a particular admiration for Buffalo and for the University. "What makes this University so great is the number of poets that are on campus," he says. Mr. Corso is currently writing a libretto for an opera with music by Lucas Foss, conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. Last month he participated in a symposium entitled, "Tomorrow?" at the " Buffalo Festival of The Arts Today," held in the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. Despite his hectic early life of orphanages, foster homes, rooftops and prison, Mr. Corso has not emerged a bitter man. "Life is good," he says smilingly. And then, as if reflecting on his past, he adds, " It's people who mess it up."

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

Just the opposi.te can be said about the mail service on campus. While everyone is talking, a handful of people - the campus mail staff - are working to improve both the future and present mail service. Over 10,000 pieces ~f mail per day from the Unrted States Post Office, wtth the addition of the campus mail, makes the University's mail service equivalent to that of a city the size of Batavia, New York. However, a delayed delivery will still evoke a negative comment. Now everyone in the University can help increase the efficiency and speed of delivery by lending a helping hand . . . 1. inform your correspondents to include the name of building in your address. 2. sort campus mail from out-going United States mail. 3. deliver your own mail if it is for an adjacent office. 4. don't ask the campus mailmen to break rules by requesting special favors such as mailing personal packages.

Warren Button Arsociale Profeu or of Teacher Education produce positive attitudes on the part of airport manage rs. I think they are not. As a matter of fact, they are not to preserve anything. They are to change something. The demonstrations at the Un iversity of California at Berkeley were intended to change something, and apparently they did . (But the demonstrations at Berkeley were not wholly virtuous, either) . The anti-HUAC demonstrations here last year presumably had the intent, if not the effect, of producing change. It was a matter of national policy that the anti -HUAC student demonstrators wanted to change, and some of their elders seemed to feel that such momentous matters were not the affair of the students. I happen to think that they are : They're everybody's business, as a matter of fact. Finally, I am not sure what "university community " means. But whatever it is, the students are a part of it. Even if it is conceded that there is nothing to be gained - and that I do not concede - by any student demonstration , there is a real and important issue that takes precedence over preserving the quiet, etc. There is, after all, a line in the Bill of Rights about the " right of the people to peacefully assemble." It should be peaceful, but it is a right. This, I think, is more important than minor inconveniences and side effects. Let's not, in the interests of decorum, curtail civil liberties. I don 't believe in decorum and gentility at all costs . They' re not worth it. A LET ME STA RT, as any good professor should, by admitt m_g the ob,·ious. There are drawbacks to st ud ent demonstrations. There is d isruption of the guiet . and snme administra tors tend to become perturbed : somebody w.llks on the grass, perhaps, or ash tr.tp .tre ··m·erturncd ." Student demonst rati ons seem local ly to prod uce many comments by ai rport managers, .tnd not all these comments are posi tive in tone. It 1s to be admi tted also that some demonstrations. or facsim ilies thereof. are unfortunate occurrences. The one by Uni"ersity at Buffalo students before Christmas was, and it also spoiled a hoax which mig ht have been magni fi cent. Other demonstrations have struck me as being shrill and point less. The first example of the unfortunate ersatz demonstrat ion that comes to mind was the one for now-Senator Kennedy last electioneering time. (I couldn't ge t excited, but most of the people who were there don't share my zest for some frequency distr ibutions, when you come right down to it.) Some student demonstrations are almost literally senseless . They are for blowing off steam, for relief of student repression, somewhat akin in function to panty raids. That facet of the matter I will leave to others, while I str i\'e to repress my memories of certa in of my own undergraduate activities. But afte r these ad missions, let us consider whether the purpose of a demonstration is to preserve the quiet , to soothe ad ministrators, to protect the sod, or even to 6 �mmunity in student demonstrations?'' Dr. Irwin Silverman AJJistanl ProfeJJor of Psychology TO MY MIND, there is no general answer to the question of the value of student demonstrations, wh ich have ranged in their goals from the overthrow of governments through the restoration of Latin on diplomas to pure catharsis. Students have the same privilege to demonstrate as any other group, and each event must be evaluated in itself, in terms of the means employed, the end which is sought, and whether the means justify the end. I must condemn the means tbat they chose to take.' In a society which strives to maintain a rightful balance between liberty and order, mass civil disobedience is justified only under conditions of extreme deprivation of civil rights and human dignities and when available legal forms of protest have been exhausted. On both counts, this was most certainly not the case in the Berkeley situation. The sit-in has become a great and glorious word in the civil-rights movement because it did so dramatically highlight the extent and futility of the plight of the American Negro. It is paradox ical that the Berkeley students may have undermined their most fundamental aims -the defense of civil liberties - by using the sit-in where it was clearly not warranted and thereby cheapening the concept. It has become evident through experience that the threshold for mass activities of all sorts of the collegiate popu· lation is rather low, and one must wonder seriously and sadly whether, somewhere along the way, the means did not become the end at Berkeley. From a strictly 'pragmatic point of view, I feel that the demonstrations represented a loss to the students. The readiness with which the faculty supported their goals indicates to me that less drastic measures would have been equally as effective, and the students have shown a propensity for rash action which will cost them a great amount of good will and respect, both on the part of the University and the public- at large. & To take the Berkeley incident as a case in point, I fi nd myself in sympathy with the goals of the demonstrators, not on the basis of Constitutional rights or academic freedom, which I do not consider relevant issues here, but simply in recognition of the fact that the campus is home for the students. True they are tenants on this property, and the rules regarding its use are the sole domain of the University ; nevertheless, an individual needs a certain degree of freedom within the bounds of his home, and I feel that withdrawal of the privilege to engage in political activi ties, including civil rights recruitment, was an undue constraint. I can find no defensible reason for compelling these people to go away from home for these activities as long as they are not violating the law, or the privileges of other students, or the purposes of the University. It should be emphasized, however, that it was a privilege of tenancy and not a basic hwnan right that was contested by the Berkeley students. On this basis, 7 �WHETHER traveling and teaching in a foreign . country or experimenting in the University's Carbon Research Laboratory, Dr. Stanislaw W. Mrozowski is always on the move. The tall, widely -traveled, Polish -born physicist, whose patient and persistent experiments with carbon have made the Unaversity one of the world 's leading centers in carbon research, recently returned from Japan where he had spent ten months as a Fulbright professor at Keio University, Tokyo and Nagoya Uni"ersity in Nagoya. More recently, Dr. Mrozowski returned from the University of Bordeaux, France where he received the revered Docteur Honoris Causa degree and a medal a long overdue honor for a physicist whose forty years of research (the last twenty with carbon) have made him one of the world's leading authorities on the properties of carbon. Enroute to Japan, Dr. Mrozowski stopped in Hawaii and visited physicist friends and Dr. Thomas Hale Hamilton, former President of the State University of New York, now President of the University of Ha"!;aii . Teaching advanced physics courses to graduate ~ tu ­ dents and lecturing at various universitit>s and research institutes in Japan proved to be a gratifying experience for Dr. Mrozowski . But there were other enviable experiences such as a test run trip on Japan's newest train which travels at speeds exceeding 120 miles per hour. " At 80 miles per hour," Dr. Mrozowski relates, ") could .~ead a book as though I were sitting in my livin,g room. He was also given a preview of an electric power dam being built on one of Japan's mountainsides which required a thirty-mile trip by train, automobile and railcar through mountains containing sulphur springs. Protection from the hot springs, located in an eightmile tunnel, was supplied by a heat resistant railcar. "By the time the car would begin to heat up, we had already passed through the springs," he says. While in Japan, Dr. Mrozowski resided in Tokyo and attended the first Japanese international carbon conference - a meeting which may well be attributed to his presence in that country. He made a lecture tour in Taiwan and also visited Hong Kong before returning home. Four weeks after his return to the States, Dr. Mrozowski was off to France to receive his honorary degree and to visit live French universities as well as Oxford University and the University of London in England . In France, as in Japan, there was a meeting of the minds of top echelon physicists. Resuming his research as airector of the University's $1 50,000 Carbon Research Laboratory and in the physics laboratory in Hochstetler Hall, Dr. Mrozowski explains that while he is not looking for any particular practical application for his research, it has resulted in carbon bemg used in rocket nozzles, furnace linings, electrodes and brushes, and for nuclear reactors . Essentially, the laboratory concentrates on finding out just what carbon will do, what it won't do and why, says Dr. Mrozowski. Activities in the laboratories ha ve been supported by the Air Force, the Office of Naval Research and the Atomic Energy Commission. MeeTYouR CaMPUS Col!-eAGUt:S 8 �Carbon Research Center Dr. Mrozowski is now awa1tmg the arrival of new equipment from Varian Associates which will give him " a wider range of research opportunities." The precision equipment, unavailable a few years ago, will be of the latest model. In 1963, Dr. Mrozowski was named editor-in-chief of a new international journal, Carbon, which has leading scientists from Japan, Germany, R.ussia, England and France as associate editors. The new journal is the special international vehicle for the sharing of original research results among carbon experts. A Japanese scientist, Dr. Michio Inagaki of Nagoya University is expected to arrive here this month to work with Dr. Mrozowski in the carbon research fa cilities. In January, Dr. Mrozowski served as discussion leader at the International Symposium on Atomic and Molecular Quantum Theory at Sanibel Island, Florida and presented a paper at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society in New York City. While in New York, he also delivered a public lecture at the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences in America of wijch he is vice-president of the board . Born and educated in Warsaw, Poland, Dr. Mrozowski has published about 100 research papers since finishing his doctoral dissertation at the University of Warsaw in 1929. He came to America on sabbatical leave from the University of Warsaw in 1939 when he was awarded a research fellowship in the Radiation Laboratory of thf' University o£ California. He moved to the University of Chicago in 1940 and entered private industry in 1945 when .he was named head of the physics department in the Research and De>~elop­ ment Division of the Great Lakes Carbon Corporation. Dr. Mrozowski, former chairman of the Physics department, joined the University faculty in 1949. He was already an established authority in atomic and molecular physics and author of more than seventy papers in English, Polish, French and German . For his accomplishments, Dr. Mrozowski was recently given a . "Citizen of the Year"' award by the Am-Poi Eagle, a Polish newspaper published in Buffalo. Dr. Mrozowski is a sports enthusiast who enjoys skating, skiing, mountain climbing and tennis. While in Chicago, he won a University tennis tournament in doubles and in mixes. Experimenting in the nation's only university carbon research laboratory dealing with the physics and engineering aspects of carbon, six_ty_-three-year-old Dr. Mrozowski, whose chances for liVIng at the age of twelve years were dim, continues to move forward in the world of science. A 9 �SOME BOOKS FROM THE FACULTY THE LIFE OF THOMAS HOWARD Earl of Surrey and Second Duke of Norfolk , 1443-1 524 . By DR . M ELVIN J. TUCKER, AJJiJtant Profe JJor of Hi1tory. Pub lished by M outon and Company, The Hague , Netherlands, 1964. Number of pages, 170. This political biography of Thomas Howard is based largely on printed primary sources, particularly the LeHers and Papers of Henry VIII , and on a li mited number of manuscripts found in the Bodleian , the British Museum, and the Public Record Office. By focusing on Howard's relationship with his king, the nature of Yorkist and Tudor kingsh ip is revealed as highly personal and the characters of the individual kings ore illumined . This work includes a fresh assessment of the Earl 's strategy for the bottle with James IV at Flodden and a re-evaluation of his port in the murder of the little princes in the Tower . DR.

This month the originJ of the Poetry and Rare Books collections are presented. TO CHOOSE SHAKESPEARE from the Rare Books collection and Ogden Nash from the Poetry collection would present a contrast as vivid as the origins of the two collections. Because the realizations of one man's dream planted the seed for growth of a second man's dream, Lockwood Memorial Library was a waiting "home" in 193 5 for the papers yet to be gathered into the poetry collection. Mr. Thomas B. Lockwood, Buffalonian and civic leader, presented the Library to the University in that year, in honor of his father and as a "home" for his admirable collection of rare and beautiful books. The means to pursue his enthusiasm for gathering line printing and great literature, resulted in Mr. Lockwood 's presentation of 2,500 volumes plus letters, coins and medals with a total value of $200,000 at the time the library was dedicated . This collection contained forty-five of "The Grolier Club List of One Hundred Books Famous in English Literature. " A book-length catalogue of the Lockwood collection, was published at the time of the dedication of the Library. Impressive volumes from the Lock· wood donation and further gifts and purchases include the first four folios of Shakespeare, the first six editions of Burton 's, The Anatomy of Melancholy, John Dryden's excessively rare Mac Ffecknoe and a first edition of Milton's Paradise Lost with the drst of the title pages. The Friends of the Library funds made it possible to add to generous contributions of volumes from Charles Goodyear, Katharine Cornell and George Nathan Newman. A ''HOME'' FOR THE OLD AND NEW 12 �Such auspicious beginnings were not repeated in the migi nation of the Library's poetry collection, but few .-ollecto rs in any field can match the vision of the first librarian of Lockwood, the late Mr. Charles D . Abbott . In the establishing of the University's Poetry Collec· tnm he undertook his subject in what was then a un ique approach. Mr. Abbott foresaw the need , first to devote his energy not to just a personal interest, but to a personal de votion that he could support with "a con stJncy that no failure could embitter, no opposition disrupt . . ." and so chose poetry, as related in his 1ntruduction of PoeiJ at Work. His inspiration in conceiving the uniqueness of what is now one of the finest collections of twentieth century poetry by English -speaking poets in existence w:ts born partly of "desperation ." Library funds were no t sufficient to divert any portion to the " poetry project." Works of modern poets, more easily purchased, were his logical choice for which a small initial fund was raised by the Friends of the Library. After a year of working to gather "the whole seque nt ia l body of a poet's printed work, " Mr. Abbott no ted the process of critics and scholars who in " seeking to explain the basic origins . . . and the ultimate aims of poetic endeavor (and all the processes of thought which lie between the beginning and the end) . . . started from the finished poem and unwound the ribbon of conjecture, backwards." Mr. Abbott's unique answer to this "backward" process was worksheets. Previously considered by publishers, collectors and poets themselves as a wasteproduct of the creative process, the various booklets, pages and scraps of actual early drafts were available for the asking in nearly every instance! The "taking" of these sheets without payment was a source of both pleasure and embarrassment for Mr. Abbott, and the asking for them, was a monumental task of commum cation. Assuming a moral guilt for our society, which rewards most poets so parsimoniously, Mr. Abbott de~­ cribed his reaction to struggling poets who asked 1f the library wo~d pay for their worksheets: "I have felt guilty- not because we cannot pay, but becau~ the world denies him a satisfactory return for h1s work. When I say no to such a poet, shame wells inside me . . . and I am sick with guilt." To request worksheets, as differentiat~d from "fair copies" (final versions) and to descnbe the total scope of the "poetry project" by mail, proved u?satisfactory. Th1s work could better be performed m person, and Mr. Abbott met with dozens . of British and American poets in England . and Amen~a through the generosity of the Ca.rneg•e Foundat.wn. T~o Carnegie grants made poss1ble these meetmgs wh1ch resulted in an immediate and continual flow of worksheets notes letters and notebooks for the Collection. In the intervening years the basic aim and purpose for existence of the Poetry Collection have not changed . The books include first editions of every English-writing poet whose work was produced, wholly or partly, in the twentieth century. Subsequent editions (if revised), anthologies, biographies and CCII! cal stud 1es are also included . . Magazines i~ the collection are the "little" magazmes, wh1ch g•ve modern poetry its first, and often only, publication. Letters included come from poets explaining compositional methods or are correspondence between poets and friends. A special feature of poetry on campus is the series of poetry readmgs each schoof year by six or more poets. ~hese readings are sponsored by the Friends of the Library, the University, and the Charles Abbott Reading fu~d . S~ill growi~g from the impetus of Mr. . Abbott s gemus, today s collection contains ap· prox tmately 27,500 volumes (including periodicals) . .A. Mr. Edwin A.

'· Colleague �F"ROM THE DESK OF" To the Faculty and Staff: "The old shibboleths of education, sanctified by time and inertia, have hung around our necks like on albatross long enough. If this University is to fulfill its purposes, it will do so only as it is bold and daring and eager to rise to the challenge of its previously uncharted opportunities. I pledge t you that when my counsel is sought and my help is needed, I shall do all in my power to encourage such boldness and daring and eagerness. The major responsibility rests with you, however • As focu Ity members, you hove the awesome power and unquestioned prerogative to plummet the University toward academic extinction or to lift it to academic prominence." So said Dr. Samuel 8. Gould, president of the State University of New York at the Annual Fall Conference of the State University at Buffalo in Glenwood, in September . I cannot think of C' more appropriate reflection upon the New Year than Dr. Gould •s challenge • This portends to be an historic year indeed. New leadership is at the helm, and his hand will begin to be felt giving new inspiration and direction to our course. Our ultimate destination is the completion of our new campus and the mandate to use it as the foundation for a dynamic and nationally-significant university center. But, there will be many ports of call along the way. The first will be reached this year as we make final acquisition of the land we need. It will be a number of years before our final goal is in sight. As we soil through the inevitable storms and delays, I hope you will join me in keeping in focus the vision of our goal. For as the New Year is launched, the realization becomes more firm that the results will indeed be worth the journey. Sincerely, C.C. J-~ C. C. Fumas President �PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST'S WORK fHE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT continue to fas- If the published works of a man leave to us a part of the message he had to convey - and this man was an artist such as Joyce - then we are fortunate to have such works. If, however, we wish to know a greater part of the thoughts he wished to leave or the pattern he tried to build in his work, how much more fortunate we are to have a blueprint to study. The University's Joyce Collection is this sort of blueprint cinate man while the precise method of their construction remains a mystery. If blueprints and notes of their construction were available, rather than the pyramids themselves, the papers would still be considered a treasure of civilization. The total of the James Joyce collections is of such scope and quality that their contribution to literature ranks close in value to that of his finished worb. (Colllinued) 3 �The notebooks Joyce used for various drafts of his writings, the manuscripts, galley proofs and corrected typescript can convey to even a casual observer some of the effort made and the methods used by the artist in producing his final works of literature. No monetary value can be established for a collecti on of irreplaceable material. Any one of the 20,000 pages of the collection could be priced to sell in a bookstore for a few hundred dollars. The 450 items which include family portraits and personal effects are equally as valuable. A first draft of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man , is suggested by Dr. Oscar A. Silverman, director of Lockwood Library , as "the one single item, perhaps most important." The part of the collection known as Jo yce's "Paris Library'' was acquired by the University in 1950 through the generosity of Mrs. Philip J. Wickser, in memory of her husband and through the efforts of the late Mr. Charles Abbott, past librarian of Lockwood; Mr. Ansley Sawyer, a Buffalo Iawver and Dr. Silverman. The '' Paris Library" contains the books from J oyce's personal library, many of them presented with personal notes by literary friends such as Ernest Hemingway. It also includes dictionaries, school books and vocabulary aids, manuscripts, notebooks, typescripts and translations, oil paintings of Joyce and his family, photographs of the author and his circle uf friends and personal effects - passports, ration cards, eye glasses, walking sticks and pens. In 1959 an anonymous benefactor presented J oyce material referred to as the "Sylvia Beach" collecti on. Miss Beach, publisher of Joyce's masterwork, "Ulysses," was the American proprietor of a Paris Left Bank bookstore, the social center for most of the writers who made the twenties famous. This part of the collection includes manu~ c ript s, letters and rare editions. Miss Beach was presented the degree of Doctor of Letters by the University in 1959 in recognition of her contribution to the international community of letters. After her death in 1962, more items of this portion of the collection were purchased by the same anonymous benefactor; together with a financial gift from Buffalonian Mrs. Spencer Kittinger, in memory of Miss Irma Schoepflin, and an allocation from the Friends of the Lockwood Library . A further addition was made to the total collection by B. W. Huebsch, Joyce's first publisher in the United States. An unending column of Joyce scholars comes to the University and leaves the collection enriched by their contributions of published information , comments and cataloguing. Professors Harry Levin of Harvard, Richard EHmann of Northwestern and Joseph Prescott of Wayne are among the many who have come to the University to make such use of the materials. A first edition of a Joyce essay in Italian on Daniel Defoe, trans- lated and edited by Professor Prescott is now heing published by Buffalo Studies. On campus, the Joyce papers are well used in study, research and teaching. Dr. Thomas E. Connolly, associate professor of English, has produced two works dealing with the collection; The Personal Library of ]ames Joyce: A Descriptive Bibliography and I ames ] oyce' s Scribbledehobble: The Ur-Workbook for Finnegans Wake. Dr. Silverman is author of an article in Grosvemor Society Occasional Papers, February 1964, dealing with the obtaining of the Joyce collection and of James Ioyce Epiphanies, introduction and notes. Mr. Jack P. Dalton, a Guggenheim Fellow of New York City, is currently doing a research project with the notebooks of "Finnegans Wake." Mr. Dalton describes the complete collection of notebooks on this work as a "unique record of a unique book." According to Mr. Dalton, "Finnegans Wake" has the most elaborate draft history of any book written and all the material is preserved so that a complete record is available. The notebooks of 13,500 pages are in the University co llection; the manuscripts and proofs, about 8,000 pages, are in the British Museum.

Zingronie, instructor in English, and Miss Kitayun Deboo, graduate assistant in English, are presently working with the collection for their dissertations. A seminar on Joyce is offered in tbe English department, dealing first with his published works and then with materials in the collection. During the summer session, a Joyce scholar is invited by the department to use the collection and conduct a Joyce seminar. Last summer, Professor Maurice Beebe of Purdue, editor of Modem Fiction Studiel, presented the course. British scholar, James S. Atherton, will fake part in this year's program. Although Jofce is sometimes referred to as tbe most controversial author of the twentieth cen· ur y, there is no argument concerning his status as an artist. The richness of the collection can pre· sent much of Joyce as an artist and also something of Joyce as a human being. Photos of him, apparently in pain, sometimes with an eye-patch; his thick-lensed eye glasses; a shelf of notes from friends written in large red letters to accomodate his failing sight; passages· of letters from fond friends 'and family members expressing concern for his welfare ; all present the artist as a fellow human.& 5 The picture of Ioyce (6) il of a 1erie1 of three phota studies of Joyce in the collection.

Pantera, head of clo1ed circuit broculcastin1. 6 tion, has effected a major change in the tools and techniques of presenting laboratory demon· strations in the University's School of Dentistry. A year ago, a new method of showing labora· tory demonstrations to dozens of dental students while working with only one patient was needed. The effectiveness of patient demonstrations was badly handicapped by the fact that only a very limited number of students could look into the mouth of the patient at one time. For the students to see each and every step of the demonstration was extremely difficult. . By coupling ingenuity with a touch of electronic wizardry, one of the School's faculty members de· vised a system of closed circuit television broad· casts of the live demonstrations. . Dr. Robert E. Panter a, an assistant professor of fixed prosthodontics, initiated the program and �~t:rves as director and cameraman of the broad casts, in addition to being a member of the ~ chool's faculty . Today, hundreds of students can watch the demonstrations via fourteen monitors lucat!'d throughout the School. Seated nearly forty feet away from the 'cameras, which are set up on a tri -pod directly in front of the patient, Dr. Pantera operates the two portable cameras b) remote control. One camera is located above the head of the patient while the second is situated directly in front of the patient. In this manner . different angles including shots at the upper and lower teeth are obtained. The faculty member performing the demonstration is fitted with a microphone and gives a running commentary with the demonstration. Close hy. a miniature monitor is provided in order that the dentist can watch what the cameras are pho lographing. Started last year, the program has facilities for making video-tapes and has recorded eighteen onehour reels to be used in future classes. The cameras, which can be moved anywhere in the School, magnify details approximately ten times. According to Dr. Pantera, the use of the television broadcasts helps lessen the time the studen~s must spend i!1 .class before beginning to work m the dental cl1mcs. He said that because the cameras are able to close in and record fine details, students are better informed, ask more rtuestions and are more · attentive. Following the video-taping of a demonstration, ~ arious repetitive steps are chopped from the tape 1n order to condense lengthy demonstrations. The electronic lectures are invaluable, according to Dr. Pantera, when a dentist hits a snag in a supposedly-routine demonstration and the students are able to watch him work it out. & Dr. Pantera operates the camertu by remote control. FAile picture is transmitted onto the monitor which students watch, Dr. Pantera adjU4ts the second camera for next shot.

Dr. McGrath describes the School as a human rela· lions laboratory in. which the students are pre· sented concepts baste to all further education. In selecting its nearly one hundred students, the S~hool attempts to maintain cosmopolitan classes wtt_h_ a b~lance of boys and girls grouped by age. Tu1t10n ts based on a one-half day school day . The school determines the number of days the children attend during the week. The two teachers, Mrs. Freda Carnes and Mrs. Do!is Janis are .certified in the field of Early Chtldhood Educallon. On our campus this area of study. is li_mited to. ~fty ~reshmen students yearly, resultmg m a wa1tmg hst and firm competition among those wishing to enter . . The first re~ponsibility of _the School is to pro· vtde observation and practical teaching in the Early Childhood Education field. Students from many diciplines- nursing, medicine, psychology, speech and others- go to observe, study and test the young pupils for many purposes. The School also serves as a demonstration model of equip· ment and procedures for people of the area in. terested in developing other schools for youngsters. Parents participate in the program through meetings and the practice of one parent per day "helping" in class. This "parent's day" provides the parents the opportunity to compare their child with others of his own age and to become aware of the techniques used in the school. Dr. McGrath objects to the early pressure cur· rently put on children to learn. She says, "Too many parents and teachers prepare the young child for the next step." Children are sent to ·nursery · school to prepare them for kindergarten, to kindergarten to prepare them for grade school, and so on. "I believe," she adds, "we should stop and let them enjoy today's life." During the years she has devoted to teaching and related work in the field of Early Childhood Education, Dr. McGrath feels the most significant breakthrough for the field has been the inclusion in 1961 of an article on this area for the first time in the Lincoln Library of Essential Information encyclopedia. She recently published two articles in national journals and is chapter editor of The New York Nurser{ Education News. She is cur· rently president o the Early Childhood Education Council of Western New York, a member of the state board of the New York Council for Children, and has served as vice-president of the New York State Association of Nursery Educatio.n. Dr. McGrath is a BuHalonian and received her bachelor of science degree from the State Uni· versity College and both her advanced degrees from the University. Her husband, John, also in the education field, is guidance counselor at Gas· kill Junior High School in Niagara Falls. .& wHEN BLONDE, three-year-old Debra McGrath, a tyke in the University Nursery School calls clirector DR. RUTH E. McGRATH, "Grandma," she IJOSes a clear picture of what Dr. McGrath believes is a major problem of colleagues- education of women for their ~dual role in our society. Whatrver response the colleges make to this challenge, Dr. McGrath has in her own work and life managed the dual commitments successfully. Debra is the second, foUowing her brother Garry, of the second generation of the family to attend the Children's Cooperative Group (usually referred to as the Nursery School). Their father, Dr. Garry McGrath, a graduate of the University's Dental School and their uncle, Mr. Fred J. McGrath , now a senior dental . student on campus, were former nursery school members. The chil· dren's grandmother, Dr. McGrath, began her association with the University when she became head teacher of the School in 1938. 9 �SOME BOOKS FROM THE FACULTY • ANTIBIOTICA ET CHEMOTHERAPIA volume 12 By collaboration of DR .

Number of pages 455. SON, This volume contains the papers presented at a colloquim held in 1962 at the Borstel Research Institute in West Germany, which conducts colloquia about acute, particular scientific questions concerning drugs . The colloquia are intended to outline scientific front lines of certain, specific areas- partly for mutual information, and partly in order to indicate possible further directions of scientific work. Dr. Nelson came to the University faculty in 1962 from the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco, where he was an associate professor of pharmacy and pharmaceutical chemistry. He received his bachelor of science degree from the University of Washington and his doctorate in 1954 from the University of Wisconsin. He is chairman of the scientific section of the American Pharmaceutical Association and holds membership in numerous professional organizations. He is author of many scientific and professional articles and is currently writing a book. A CURRENT APPRAISAL OF THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES By DR . RoLLo L. HANDY, Associate Professor and Chairman of the Department of Philosoph y, and Paul Kurtz, professor, Union CoUege. Schenectady, New York. Published by the Behavioral Research Council, Great Barrington, Massachusetts, 1964. Number of page.s: 154. Each of the sixteen fields surveyed is discussed uniformly, using nine principal topics to provide a basis for the analysis and comparison of each field . An attempt has been made to give an accurate though concise specification of the field and other investigators are quoted to represent different points of view. This study is intended to represent actual work being done in the behavioral sciences. 10 Dr. Handy joined the University faculty in 1961 after teaching at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York ; Union College, Schenectady and the University of South Dakota at Vermillion. He received his bachelor's degree from Carleton College, Northfield, Minne· sota; his master's from Sarah Lawr ence College, Bronksville, New York; did graduate study at the Un iversity of Minnesota and received his doctorate in 1954 from the State University at Buffalo. He is associate director of the United States Editorial Center for- the Bibliography of Philosophy, a member of several profession_al groups, has written extensively for philosoph y journals and is author of another book published this year. �ANTITRUST DEVELOPMENTS IN THE EUROPEAN COMMON MARKET Report of the Suboommittee 011 Antitrust and Monopoly of the Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate. Prepared by MR. HERMAN ScHWARTZ, Associate Professor of Law. Published by the United States Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1964. Number of page!, 511. Mr. Schwartz joined the Universit ~ facult y in 1963 after serving as assistant counsel for the Senate Antitrusts and Monopoly Subcommittee in Washington, D.C., practicing law in New York City for four years and serving as law clerk to Federal Judge 1. Edward Lumbard. He attended Harvard University, from which he received his bachelor of arts degree in 1953 and his law degree in 1956. The report reflects observations during the period that Mr. Schwartz worked as assistant counsel to the sub-commiHee. During a study trip in the Common Market countries he conducted interviews on which much of the report is based. The report is not intended as a definitive work of Common Market antitrust regulations. Rather, it represents the impressions of one trained observer which should be valuable to those seeking an understanding of the impact of the Common Market on antitrust concepts. By DR. JosEPH G. HoFFMAN, Profeuor of Physics. Published by Hanover House Books, Garden City, New York, 1957, and various translatio·n publications through 1963. Number of pages: 301. The purpose of this book is to describe the living process as it is seen in the microscopic realm of tissue cells. The author's point of view in examining the properties of living maHer is that of a physicist, and his question is, what are the salient features of life stated in mechanistic terms? Much of this book is devoted to presenting the biological facts which lead to the molecular questions. The presentation is of broadest outline and not intended to be considered comprehensive. 11 Dr. Hoffman joined the University staff in 1957 after various professional positions including service with the Carnegie Institution and the National Bureau of Standards in Washington , D.C. , and the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, New Mexico. He has served as director of Cancer Research at Roswell Park Memorial Institute and research pro· fessor of biophysics at both the University's School of Medicine and Roswell Park. He has been con sultant to the Toxicology Laboratory at the University of Chicago and serves as consultant to the Division of Biology and Medicine for the United States Atomic Energy Commission. He received his bachelor of arts degree in 1935 from Cornell University and his doctorate in 1939. He is a member of several professional societies, has published an extensive list of works, received various service and research awards and has been listed in "American Men of Science," "Who's Who in America," and "International Who'll Who." �BRIDGING THE GAP administrative sc hedules ? '· You can always find time to take on a new project," says Dr. Rrutvan , coordinator of tho! \l ob i! pr og ram . He recog nizes, however, that one .,f the inevi table consequences of a new proj ect is time ta ke n away fr o m other endeavors . "Time is a luxur y; especiall y time for self development and expe rim ental work ," he says. At the same t inll' hr feels that teachin g a continuin g educ ation co urse is ver y fulfillin g and self-satisfying. Or. Rrutvan is teaching the first co urse in the pro· g ram whi ch began in September at the Mobil Re· fi ncry where the primary function is the economi· eal separation and conversion o f c rude oil into various fini shed products. With today's super highwa ys, he finds no trouble in getting to the Refin er y at 8 a.m. " A class held at that hour in the morning is much more effective ," he says. One of the highest contributi ons a program of this nature can make, according to Dr. Brutvan. is to further the communications process which creates the " atmosphere of devrloping a common background beween the University and practicing engineers." Or. Brutvan feels that the results of the pro· gram , while not immediately measurable, will be of great value not only in terms of economic gains for the company, but also in increasing the pat · tern of self·education for engineers and their value to the company. A man of unharnessed enthusiasm, Or. Brutvarr states that the thirt y week program can be con· sidered "Part One of a relatively long range pro· gram which may be carried out on a yearly basis." The remaining two courses in the program will be taught by Dr. Thomas W. Weber, assistant professor of chemical engineering and Dr. · Way· land P. Smith, professor and head of the industrial engineering department. The Corning program, coordinated by Dr. Shames, is being taught in Corning by Mr. John Medige, assistant professor, and Mr. Jeffrey A.

An enrollment of nearl y 200 sc ienti sts and en· gineers in the program has f(iven Dean Trahan!, one of the program 's founders, an optimistic view of its future. "This enrollment is more than was anticipated and surely reAects the high morale and fine leader· ship of the School of Enginee ring's facult y," he said . The reference "·as to Or. Donald R.

How do the y manage to work such an ambitious project into tht>ir regular teaching, research and A 12 �pla ying an important role in the struggle of We~tern New York to generate activity toward des•_red goals. Professors Mohn and Strauss, co· ordmators of the ASME program, view their roles ~s "normal. funct_io~s" of university professors. Mor~ ~~fimtely , ll 1s an obligation; a faculty re· sponslb1hty shared by the University itself," says M~. Mohn whose leadership was cited by President Chfford C. Furnas in the recent accreditation of the _mech~nical e~gineering department from the ~ngweers Counc1l for Professional Development. ~-nfortunately, _one can carry out this responsi bility to a hm1ted degree because of the time element," he says. The program consists of twenty-eight lectures presented at the University by twenty faculty mem· hers of the School of Engineering. The fifty-five ASME me~bers participating in the course represent a w1de spectrum of Buffalo area industries. Some of the topics of the lectures include nuclear and .atomic physics, computers, and polymer · chemistry. The purpose of program, says Mr. Moqn , is · not to make engineers more proficient in any subject matter discussed, but rather to "update the talents" of engineers ten years or more removed from the receipt of their bachelor of science degrees. Moore, instructor of interdisciplinary studies and research. The transportation problem faced at the outset of the program has been eliminated with the use of an airplane. The half-hour plane ride saves hours of travel time and, according to Dr. Shames, allows the professors to review their course work more comfortably. Dr. Shames says he is very pleased to be associated with the unique and integrated program which teaches the fundamentals of many scientific and engineering fields to a heterogeneous group uf engineers, mathematicians, physicists and scien tists who hold degrees ranging from bachelor of sc ience to doctorate. "What we are trying to do here," says Dr. Shames, "is to give these men the key to open the door of their choice." Dr. Shames explains that there are too many doors leading to specific fields in engineering and in the sciences and that a continuing education course provides a closer look at the ke~. "This will definitely elevate the staffs of industrt," he says. One of Dr. Shames' hopes is that the Corning program will serve as a model for other industries in Upstate New York. Announcing that the program will expand to three sections next year. Dr. Shames forsees no difficulty in the future !!rowth of the program. This year's two-section program formally began in October with courses in applied analysis and engineering sciences. Dr. Shames believes, as does Dr. Brutvan, that a professor can and should "make the time" to carry out worthwhile projects. "Professors, as a group, should give a certain output of their time to helping industry," he says. Certain that both parties will benefit from the exchange of ideas, Dr. Shames believes that there must be established, ''a pipeline for consultation." Certain too that the University's graduates will continue to be employed by the Corning Glass Works, Dr. Shames notes that the University is Mr. Strauss, like all of the coordinators, views the program as a "team effort." "We are part of the professional community and we have a contribution to make," he says. A vice·chairman of the ASME, Mr. Strauss is also active as a Commander in the United States Naval Reserve. He is currently teaching a course at the Naval Reserve Office in Buffalo on nuclear power. Future ex pansion of the continuing education program, sponsored by ASME, is envisioned by Mr . Strauss, who sees the University and its fac· ulty as a "vital force in the Niagara Frontier." The Corning and Mobil programs are also com · pan y sponsored. The coordinators have praised the sponsors for being aware that engineers and scientists in industry have a strong desire to con tinue their education without working towards a degree. Noting that educational institutions have always confined their thinking to terminal programs lead· ing to academic degrees, Dean Trabant remarks : " We now recognize the need- especially in technical fields - for continuing education in a cur· riculum which differs Jllarkedly from the conven tional on-campus course." Looking ahead, Dean Trabant cites the goal of the continuing education program. "The goal is to introduce engineers and scientists, working at the frontier of their professions, to subject matter that will bring forth desired new technolo· gies which were essentially unknown during the period of their formal education."

And like other immigrants, she found some of her cultural characteristics unacceptable in a situation where survival depended on practical needs being supplied first. Despite efforts by opera lovers, even the compromise of productions in English, there was no real Americanization of grand opera, and the Grand Dame was forced to make room for newer. more witty and charming arriv¥s to stand beside her. She herself can surv1ve and 1perhaps one day be truly appreciated by the public she needs after this public finds her approachable through her less awesome, more friendly sisters. In Buffalo, as throughout the country, opera is not the first love of the public. Lack of exposure and lack of knowledge, plus the language barrier, has resulted in a resistance by the general population to opera as an art form. However, opera has been a manifestation of the University music department since its beginning. The late Mr. Cameron Baird held an intense interest in opera. Through his efforts the University and the community cooperated to produce an operatic program of many years standing. �Productions of the Opero Workshop ore as varied as these expreuiona and charact.rs taken from the firat program. Presently, Mr. Allen Sapp, chairman of the music department, and music faculty members are responding to the problems of opera presentation with vigor, enthusiasm and imagination through the Opera Workshop p rogram . Mr. Sapp expresses the attitude of those involved as one of experimentation and adventurousness . Both qualities are strongly necessary :n dealing with present physical limitations. It is difficult to imagine any sort of staged production being presented on a stage that was intended only as a riser-platform for chorus rehearsal. But full-scale opera of three and one-half hours duration have been presented from this Baird Music Hall stage which has no wings, no back-stage area, no machinery for movement or moving of sets or scenery. The auditorium, which is also used~ by the drama department, does provide seating for an audience of two hundred twenty-fi ve, overhead lighting, a phone on each stage side and one in the control booth above the audience near the back. Staging of grand opera is not impossible in this situation as evidenced by the productions of, "Tosca" and "The Barber of Seville, " in the past. Although there were " cameo" performances, three full sets were used and the "Barber" opera was with orchestra. Because the orchestra for the opera performances on campus is often placed in the balcony to the rear of the aud itorium, two telev ision sets have been placed on the walls at the sides of the room to provide those onstage with a view of the director! Similar ingenuity is reflected in the use of stage sets of an expressionistic nature and experimental scenery. Parallel to this inventiveness, is the view of the music department as described by Mr. Sapp, who expresses it as one of striking out on a path of daring, taking chances, being controversial, without being shocking, and through these means providing operatic productions of freshness, wit and charm, which will be of greater interest to a student audience. He bel ieves th is approach can lead to better training, a newer and fresher repertory and be a workable solution to the double problem of producing more enjoyable works while affording suitable training opportunities for students. Chamber opera with its smaller orchestra and cast seems to provide a part of the necessary means of following this approach and provides better training for young voices. The intentional choice of productions small in number of characters and scope can immediately dispel certain physical problems of staging, such as crowding. Mr. Sapp's attitude toward the movement away from the production of traditional music and staging and toward the emphasis on eighteenth and twentieth century 4 �worb he expresses succinct ly, "You can do with an imag inat i\'e set and two people what you ca nn ot do with twel\'e people and full staging." J-Wwever, teaching of and training in ninetee nth century grand opera in the original language, is included in cou rse work o f the Opera W o rkshop and traditional performances are presented by the music de pa rtment in other areas. The faculty of the mus ic department anticipates the future campus with an eagerness to work with adequ ate physical equipment, but they intend to use the interim to develop a department and curriculum to correspond with the new accomodations. The current education program represents an increasingly close tie-in among singing, instrumental music and opera . Three courses directly related to opera prod ucti on are to be added to the Workshop curricu lum next year ; Diction, Musical Acting and the rev ival of a previously discontinued course, Operatic Decor. The first opera program presented this season on campus was a program of three operas staged November 21 -23 entitled, "A Lyrical Triptych : Mozart's "Bastien and Love-Jealousy-Egotism ." Bastienne," was done in modern dress and English libretto as a representation of classical opera; "There and Bacrk (Hin und Zuruck)," an opera of the twenties by' Paul Hindemith, was presented as experimental opera. This unusual work reaches its climax in the middle, then reverses the plot to return to the beginning at its conclusion. The contemporary production on the !'rogram was, "The Stronger," by Hugo Weisgall, based on a play by Strindberg, is an operatic work of thirty minutes for two characters; a soprano and a mute actress. Harlequins were used as a part of the design and for the practical purpose of changing sets for the works. In the remaining portion of this season's opera program the emphasis will continue to be on fresh- n~ss and originality. In January, one original opera wrll be produced . "The K itchen Sink," is the tentative title of a work now be ing completed with lrbretto by David Posner, instructor of Eng lish and cu~ator of the poetry collection. with music by Mrss Susan LaMothe, senior student maj oring in both music and art. In March, a new work, "Sur Scene," by the second semester Slee Composer, Mr. Mauricio Kagel , w!ll be a part of music week , a co-operative citywrde venture of the Buffal o Philharmonic the University, University College and the Alb,rightKnox Gallery. During the spring vacat ion, three short avant-j;arde operas will be presented . One will be written by Mr. John Berga no, creati ve associate. The other will be by Mr. Paul Zukofsky, creative associate, and Mr. Henry A. Wicke Jr., director of opera production. The third, "The Emperor of Ice Cream, " is by Roger Reynolds . The annual musical comedy, althouj;h not operatic, falls into the field of concern of the opera workshop faculty and is considered to be especially for the pleasure of the student audience . In musical comedy, the American student-body recognizes a "home-grown" product and responds enthusiastically. The show is done by students as much as possible. The musical conductor, orchestra members, and the cast are all students. An original musical interlude will be composed by Mr. Herbert Kellman, lecturer of music, and is scheduled for May production. The interludes are for a production of Thornton Wilder's play, "A Long Christmas Dinner." It is Mr. Kellman's intent to write incidental music which will have equal importance with the speaking parts. . The workshop's esteem of creative ability fits with the attitude of Mr. Boris I. Baranovic, lecturer in music theatre, who is responsible for the stage sets and costuming of the Opera Workshop. Of European background, Mr. Baranovic is against traditional decor, preferring the freedom of a more experimental approach. He says, "Time, historically speaking, does not affect artistic values so decor and design presentation cannot touch them." Mr. Baranovic finds his stimulus for creating costumes and sets for a work first, in listening to the music, then studying the libretto and discussing the work with the director, composer and others involved . He is then ready to begin experimenting on paper to choose colors and decor atmosphere. The stage sets are built in a shop in Baird Hall by students under his direction. The coaching and training of soloists in the Opera Workshop and for campus opera performances is the work of Dr. Vittorio Giarratana, assistant professor of music, and director of opera . The full Havoc of Italian opera is known to the multi( COfJtifu.eJ) �linguistic maestro, as it is his native language . In his work with American students he considers his chief problem, not the absence of a command of spoken English , but a lack of serious, dedicated students of opera . He says, "The number (of students) does not matter, I can teach five hundred, or one ; the quality is the important thing ." With music as a common lan~uage and musical termino lojiy understood in various languages, Dr. Giarra tana feels there is no lack of communication between those who have a desire to express themselves to one another. He says, "The desire is stronger than the p roblem ." A II Workshop performances are done in En,~;li s h to stimulate interest of the campus audience. Operat ic scenes are studied and perfo rmed in thei r origi nal language and in English for course work. In the concern of the Opera W o rkshop to p roduce stimulat ing work s within the bounds o f present facilities, while also pro\·id ing adequate training for the students, future aims are also set. One desired goal is the establ is hment of close working relationships w ith a repertory opera company ava ilable for professional perfo rm ances on and off campus . This would be in addition to the present Workshop p rogram so that the entire prowam would include students in all phases of performing ability. While working in the present and planning for the future, the Work shop faculty , Mr. Baranovic, Dr. Giarratana and Mr . Wicke, feels the estab lishment of the Creative Associates on campus through a cultural grant has had an exhilarating effect on the entire music department. The Grand Dame survives on our campus. and as the Opera W o rkshop f!. rows in its ability to perform and the audience in its ability to appreciate, we may yet know the Lady in all her g lory.A Aptheker Aftermath The storm which violently erupted in the fall o f 1962, and for two years threatened to destroy the sanctity of academic freed om , died a quiet deat h Friday, November 13. For the storm , in the form o f court batt les . political pressure, and numerous vitriol ic attacks upon the intewity of the administrat ion . was dealt a devastating bl ow in June, this year. The State's hiJ:;hest court. the Court of Appeals . upheld a lower court's decision , rul in,g that Dr. Herbert Aptheker, a member of the American Communist Party, cou ld use State·owned faci lities for speaking. The Court upheld the decision , "in the interest of academic freedom." By the time of Dr. Aptheker's arriva l, with the exception o f a few perfuncto ry complaints, the stormy controversy was approaching a very quiet finale . Dr. Aptheker took the podium before an audience of nearly six hundred students and spoke quietly. without emotion . Pickets and catcal ls were notable by their abse nce. When he stepped from the podium, after nearly two hours of discussion and question answer ing, Dr. Aptheker unceremoniously closed the 1962 lecture series, ' The Po litical Spec· trum of a Contemporary World." He discussed his subject articulately , admittin.c a margin for error existed in h is beliefs . "It is possible that I am wrong, but those who 6 �Th~ the Pre•ident Student of Senate introduces Or . Apthe ker to a faculty-student pane l ond au dience for the lost in a series of political dialogues. have this point of view are not to be jailed for it. Thty are to be listened to in a dialogue with other people for the benefit of our country," Dr. Aptheker said . He said that problems present in the American society today may be answered through Marxism. He cited such problems as war, monopoly capitalism, impoverishment, illiteracy and racism. "Marxism is no panacea to these problems, he said, but it belongs in the equipment in our heads that is useful in dealing with the problems of today." He denied the description of communism as violent and anti-democratic. The violence that appears in revolutions, he said, was due to the counter-revolution. Revolutions lead to violence, he said, only when the counter-revolutionary force has the means and the will to exert ~ violence. He also contended that a minority can no longer lead the ignorant masses and take control of a country. Thus, according to Dr. Aptheker, communism is not anti-democratic. Reaction to Dr. Aptheker's speech varied among different quarters of the University community. Remarks of panel members included: Mr. Robert M . Feldman, vice-president of the Student Senate : "I felt most of the students didn't really understand what he said . The basic problem is that they didn't know anything about communism and were being exposed for the first time . I learned that a communist does not have to be a member of the lunatic fringe such as those present at the HUAC (House On-American Activities Committee) picketing last year. He was extremely clever, although I don't feel he made a case for communism." Mr. Robert Fleming, professor and associate dean of the School of Law: "My overall view is that it was highly desirable to hold this program. I think the format precluded close questioning, necessarily, and therefore was unsatisfactory. Aptheker is obviously a very capable person in presenting his opm10n. I am glad the. students had a chance to hear him." Dr. John P_ Halstead, assistant professor of his: tory : "Dr. Aptheker's repudiation of violence in revolution would appear to place him among the revisionists rather than the orthodox MarxistLeninists; whether or not this is true is a moot question, of course, given the communist practice of purposeful misrepresentation. Dr. Aptheker made a better impression than Sir Oswald Mosley (who spoke on facism in the series) and was far more informative, because he had something of substance to say and because he demonstrated a willingness to criticize Soviet mistakes. But it ought to be recognized that he is a canny spokesman for his cause and that in all instances he dealt selectively with the question~ directed at him." Mr. Leslie Foschio, former Student Senate president, member of the Student Judiciary: "Despite his being a little too vague, I found it a valuable experience since one could see that a communist is human and is just as vulnerable as anyone else to mature questioning. He seemed intellectually very capable and had a great depth of knowled,ge. Many of the questions asked by students revealed a lack of knowledge in this area." Dr. Marvin Zimmerman, assistant professor of philosophy: "I believe even amon,g those who heard Dr. Aptheker's talk who were fearful of having our students exposed to a lecture by a spokesman for communism must realize their fears were groundless. The panel and the audience, though not unfriendly, subjected the speaker to a critical and probing examination, unfortunately limited by time. An exposure "to" communism, I think, turned out to be an exposure "of' communism, even in the hands of such an artirulate and learned exponent as Dr. Aptheker, and even with the limited time available for questioning. I believe that liberty in the investigation of extremism is no vice, and moderation in our feelings toward unpopular ideas is a virtue." A 7 �SOME BOOKS FROM THE FACULTY CHANGES IN THE SIZE STRUCTURE OF BUSINESS FIRMS Small Business Management Research Reports By DR. MICHAEL GoRT, Profeuor of Economics. Prepared under a grant from the Small BusineJS Administration, Washington 25, D.C. Number of pages: 51 . This study sought to present information on the role of small businesses; their proportion of the assets in an industry, whether they are growing, shrinking or remaining constant and their use of mergers. The study focused on manufacturing and mining industries from 1948 to 1956. The basic sources of dolo for this study were the Source Book for Statistics of Income of the United States Internal Revenue Service and unpublished records of the United States Federal Trade Commission. The report presents much of the information in the form of detailed tables. Dr .

Published by: D . Van N ostrand Company, Inc ., Princeton, New Jerser Number of pages : 705 . This book is intended for the overage first year college mathematics student who has completed most high school courses; but is sufficiently sophisticated to challenge the best. The use of analogies make what is ordinarily considered abstract material appear to be tangible . This technique. with excellent illustrations, precise exposition, and numerous illustrative examples, facilitates the transition from elementary to advanced mathematics. The material has been class tested for nearly five years. It has been taught to prospective mathematic, science and engineering majors as well as liberal arts, pre-medical and education students and has been used for several sections of honors students. Student response to the approach of this book has been a guide to its success as on introductory college text. 8 Dr. Albert G. Fadell, associate professor of mathematics, joined the University faculty in 1954. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees here and his Ph .D. from Ohio State. �DEUTSCHE STUNDEN Edited by N MAY ER, ASJociate Professor of M odern Languages and Wrillen by DR . EDGAR MR . ALL EN I.

Published by : Charles Scribner's So11s, New Y ork, New York, Number of pages : 402. This book, a basal text designed for the elementary level, is the result of a joint eflort to create a new basic method for teaching German . It combines an intensive aural-oral approach with a new departure in the use of visual aids, the association of cartoons with individual basic sentences to be memorized. An approach which compels the student to think in German from the first. The text was used in two experimental editions at the University. The graphic method of illustrating basic sentences and vocabulary was originated by Mrs. Yvonne Mayer. . Dr. Mayer joined the University faculty 1n 1959 after teaching at Williams College, Princeton and Wli.Shingron Universities, Wayette and Hunter Colleges and Wayne State University at Detroit. He has published articles in several profess!onal journals and authored four published books and three to be published. He received his B.A. from Cornell and his advanced degrees from Harvard, followed by a year of study at the University ol Paris. Mr. Weinstein joined the University faculty in 1959.

This book of supplementary readings aims to show the processes of rea~oning and research upon which social psychology is founded. For the junior or senior student with some background in social sciences, a panorama of materials was chosen to give an appreciation of the development and onward course of the science, and to show how social psychologists formulate problems of social interaction and how they try to salve them. The selections were chosen to provide same historical perspective of the field and a view of current theory and research. All \elections are from original sources. 9 Dr. Vinacke was a research assistant at the New Y ark State Psychiatric Institute and Hospital in New York City from 1939-41, assistant research analyst with the Civil Aeronautics Adminisuarion from 1941-44 and taught at the University of Hawaii from 1946-63 after which be joined the University faculty. . .

' ' '· If you are wonder ing how long it takes to borrow $56,1 52 and how to spend it, the State University at Buffalo federal Credit Un ion has supplied the answer. This was the amount that the Credit Un ion lent to one hundred fifty -three faculty and staff members during the first ten months this year for used car purchases, payment of old bills , medical expenses , taxes , vacat ions. hobbies home improve · rnents, funerals, education , wedd ings and family emergencies. When compared to last year' s te~ loan s totalin,g $1500 , the new figures serve to indicate a grow ing awareness by the University's personnel of the feasibility of the credit union concept. The cred it union idea be,gan over one hundred years ago when the mayor of a small German com munity devised a credit society to help hi s townspeople combat poverty and usury . He reasoned that the members could save money together and make loans to each other at a low interest rate. H is idea was a success and before he died he started more than four hundred twenty-five credit unions. Many universities. in recent years . have orean ized credit unions in order to provide their faculties and staffs with a convenient savings and loan vehicle on the campus. The State University at Buffalo Federal Credit Union began in 1963 with a handful of members prodded by a small group of professors. Dr. Arthur L. Kaiser, president of the non profit organization , is pleased with the growth of the two hundred ninety-two member Credit Union, but feels that the membership "falls short of its potential because of the University's size." Dr. Kaiser said , " Our Union has the potential of becorning one of the most highly successful campus credit unions in the country." The "successful" credit union , of course, is contingent upon the amount of money it can loan, and it can loan only what goes into it. For this reason a membership campaign is being waged this month. Dr. Burvil H . Glenn, secretary of the cred it organization, notes that the membership has increased more than five-fold since the Credit Un ion started. "It's mov ing forward rapidly." he sa id. "but an organization of any kind is only as strong as its membersh ip and there is certainly room for new members in the Credit Union." One of the biggest features of the Credit Un ion is that the law gives it license to pay up to six percent interest on savings accounts. The rate of interest is, of course, dependent upon the income received from loans which in turn is dependent upon the total membership of the credit union. Compared to commercial sources, a member who borrows from the credit union pays a much lower interest rate. It is common knowledge that a bank receives six percent interest a year on the borrowed amount plus life insurance and other hidden costs. Members of the faculty and staff who have borrowed money from the credit union, however, 10 �~eaded . by Mrs . Ethel E. Schmidt. If the applicant IS considered to have too many debts outstanding, the loan would have to be refused in order to protect the interests of the other members of the Credit Union . It is true, however, that money is available at almost anytime to any member who would like to make a loan . _Members are further protected by the credit committee _paying strict attention to delinquent accounts even 1f 1t means hiring a lawyer. But there has been !Jttle trouble of that nature with the University's Credit Un ion because of today's operating methods for credit unions. !he methods and benefits of today's credit un10ns are far superior to those of the European predecessor m 1849. For instance, Credit Union members ca~ make d~posits through automatic payroll deductiOn . Wh1le it would take legislative act10n _for State employees to enjoy th is convenience, there IS always the possibility of it . Four groups of employees on campus, however, do make deposits through the payroll method . They include the employees of the Faculty-Student Assoc iation, the University of Buffalo Foundation, the Western New York Nuclear Research Center, and the Food Service Personnel. Another big advantage of being a member of a credit union is the life savings insu1ance which is an added inducement for thrift. Besides the life insurance provided on loans, the credit union also provides an insurance for savers. Under the plan, each eligible dollar a member saves before age fifty-five is matched with a dollar of life insurance up to an agreed limit. A decreasing scale applies to money saved after age fifty-five . This insurance is also supplied to savers without extra charge. pay only one percent interest on the unpaid balance each month. In effect, each monthly payment becomes smaller than the prior month's and also includes free life insurance protection. In other words, if a member borrowed three hundred dollars from the Credit Union, payable over a twelve month period, he would be paying from fifteen to forty dollars less in interest than if he borrowed the same amount from commercial sources. For the most part, credit union loans ace personal loans made for provident or productive purposes. In some places, credit unions are permitted to make mortgage loans when surplus funds are available. Again, a surplus of funds can best be accumulated by a large membership. But the main function of credit unions i\ to meet their members' needs for conswner credit. The University 's Credit Union has been extremely helpful to new faculty and staff members who find themselves waiting from four to six weeks for their first salary check. One member relates that he would have had to wait that long a period before he could bring his wife and children to Buffalo if there had been no Credit Union. He added that a bank loan would have taken too long to acquire because of the "red tape." This incident does not imply, of course, that a credit union makes haphazard loans. Contrarily, ~ loan applicant must go through a thorough screenmg process by the Credit Union's credit committee The Credit Union on campus , like all other credit unions, operates under a charter by the federal government . Government examiners inspect its records regularly and the supervisory committee of members makes a constant check on the Credit Union's operations. The law reguires surety bond ing and substantial reserves to protect the money against operational hazards . Throughout their history, credit unions have had an outstanding safety record . While the history of the State University at Buffalo Federal Credit Union has been a short one, Dr. Kaiser feels it has made strides and will continue to grow. Although none of the Credit Union's officers receive payment of any kind, they are always willing to assist University personnel in solving their financial problems. The Credit Union is an enterprise from · which members can borrow what they need without loss of dignity or self- respect.£ II �Meet Your Campus Colleagues Mr. Harvey Breverman, assistant professor of art, discusses work with a student in the itaglio workshop in Foster Hall where he is in charge of printmaking His teaching procedure here is to take the empirical approach combined with developing in the student a reasonably clear understanding of the technical possibilit ies of production in printmaking . In his cour~e in Foundation Drawing, he strives to teach basic skills, historical concepts in picture making and the ability to handle materials. He says it then becomes the student's task to reso lve a problem by putting together, technically and conceptually, what he has learned . Mr. Breverman bel ieves, "If self-expression is to have any substance it must come out of knowledge and experience Intentionally directed ." Mr. Breverman stud ied painting with Samuel Rosenberg and Salcomb Greene at Carnegie Institute of Technology . He received his B.F .A. from Carnegie, his M .F.A . at Ohio University and served as an instructor at both institutions .

J-~ c. c. Furnas P,_ident �MAN· MACHINE .SYSTEMS Self-adaption to changes iQ one's environment had for thousands of years been an intrinsic ability of man. Such changes as the discovery of fire or the invention of the wheel affected man's entire mode of living. Throughout history, man had !lSSimilated changes in his environment caused by science, politics or war. The mushrooming of scientific progress in the twentieth century, however, caused man to stretch his "adaptation ability" to the breaking point. No longer could man be expected to fit himself into a complex man-machine system and have bo.th the man and the system function normally. Science was producing intricate, complicated ·man-machine systems but not giving su1Jicient attention to i s most vital component-man. Illustrative of this blind progress were the improved airplanes being produced during World War II. As the war progressed, the planes, designed by the: engineers and scientists became: more: versatile:, more powerful and extremely complex. With each increment in complexity, more and more: responsibility was placed upon the pilot's shoulders. Man's "adaptation ability" passed the breaking point when it became: impossible for the pilot to perform all the necessary tasks during landing of the: crafts without taking his eyes off the: runway. The: problem was complicated further by th~ fact that the: levers for the landing ~ and the: . ~aps we:~ right next to one: another. Several unfortunate acodc:nts made: it dear that science must meet man somewhere near the: halfway point in produCing any type of a man-machine system. Dr. Kenneth R. laUKhery, director of the University's Human .Factors Laboratory, makes notes durtns a visual perception perfonnance for the gathertns of data for Possible application to man-machines ~~ . 3 �The pilot's problem was solved by submitting the necessary information, that is, which lever controlled the landing gear and which the flaps through a third sensory medium- tactility. Each handle was cod~d by construction in different shapes and through his sense of touch the pilot was able to land the plane much more easily. The forties widened the vision of the scientist and the engin~er, and an acute awareness began to grow toward including the human element in the construction and design of man-machine systems. Similarly, the traditional concept of the sciences and the humanities living secluded existences began to shatter. The scientist began to realize that they· must grasp. a deeper understan.ding of man as a social animal if they were to design systems which ultimately were directly dependent upon man to operate them with ~ptimum success. Thus, the study of man and his involvement in technological progress began. At the University, the liuman factor is undergoing intensive study. "We can not ask what man is capable of doing, without simultaneously considering what man can be trained to do," says Dr. Kenneth R. Laughery, assistant professor in the departments of industrial engineering and psychology. Dr. Laughery, also a research associate at Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, is directing the University's Human Factors Laboratory. "Human Factors is interdisciplinary. The types of people who are involved include psychologists, engineers, physiologists and others," he explains. Today we are facing more and more problems that require the skills and knowledge of many areas, according to Dr. Laughery. "While it may not be possible within the traditional framework of college training to teach an .individual enough to make him competent in several areas, it . is certainly possible to provide him with a feeling for kinds of information, knowledge and skills the related disciplines have to offer." Dr. Laughery describes the Human Factors Laboratory as concerned with man, or the human element, involved in the man-machine system. "In general, the purpose of the human factors · laboratory is to give the student a first hand opportunity to evaluate and measure human performance," he said. "Several kinds of data are collected and examined and are viewed toward their applications to man-machine systems," Dr. Laughery said. In other words, in order to assess what man is capable of doing in a given man-machine system, the factors involved in crea~g this capability must be understood. Five data., or performance categories, for discovering these factors include: anthropometric, sensory, perceptual, learning and cognitive and social. A joint research project with Cornell Aeronautical Laboratories currently underway is the study of related problems of an air traffic controller. A' controller must keep track of a varying number of planes, their altitudes, their speeds and other pieces of information, which are constantly changing. Experimentation in the laboratory is aimed at determining how much information a human being is capable of "taking in" either simultaneously or sequentially. If he has ten planes to keep track of which ate constantly changing altitudes and speeds, . it is impossible for him to retain all the data without help. Visual aids, such as placing miniature planes on a board, are essential to the air controller. In the laboratory resear~, Dr. Laughery and his associates are attempting . to determine w:hich are the best ways to code information given ·to the air controller in order to increase his ·capabilities. Simultaneously, they are attempting to determine what factors limit his retention ability to keep track of "X" number of planes instead of "X plus one." In this particular project, subjects (students are used in all of the research and experiments) are seated in front of a screen on which letters of the alphabet are Bashed and the subject is asked to remember how many times certain letters are flashed. Similarly, various geometric'form.s are (lashed on the screen and r~rds are kept indicating which are most easily remembered. Dr. Laughery's program is an attempt to discover through experimentation the easiest and best methods of expanding the human capabilities of assimilating and retaining information. 4 �Presented by Dr. laugh· ery with what appears to be _the simple task of · keeping the stylus on the dot as the disk ro· tates, a student subject (lnds It's not as easy as It looks In this perform· ance for gathering learn· lng and cognltl~e data. The anthropometric data collected includes body dimensions. After the measurements are taken, the next task is to compute the correlations . _between the measures and note those that are highly related and those that are independent. While the correlations, in most instances, are just what one would expect, their availability serves · as a convenient introduction to the question of which measures must be collected, and which can be predicted from others in designing a particular: system. Such information might be used in the design of an automobile driver's . compartment. Her~, the application of correlation information may be applied in reducing the number of dimensions that it is necessary' to measure. If two dimensions are known to be highly correlated, we can predict one from the value of the other, according to Dr. Laughery. Beside sensory data collected as mentioned above, perceptual data is also collected. Other factors besides the sensory capabilities affect what information the human takes in from his environment. "Several of the perceptual aspects of human performances are investigated: In one study, form recognition is investigated. The purpose is to show that the human has a higher recognition threshold for forms that are familiar to him .than for unfamiliar forms. "A slide projector with a high-speed shutter flashes a variety of forms .on a screen for varying lengths of time. It is then possi~le to determine the length of time that a particular fq_rm must be in the visual field in order to be recognized," &!=cording to Dr. Laughery. • In gathering learning and cognitive data, subjects ace asked to keep a stylus on a inetal spot located on a rotating-disK. Several of the subjects ace given feedback, or, ace told how long they were able to keep the stylus on the metal spot during a certain time period. Another group of subjects performing the same ~k ace given no feed-back; they were not told the length of time they successfully kept the stylus in place. The former group showed the greater improvement in tests that followed, revealing that, in a training program, the trainees should be informed o~ their _progress to increase ach!evement, Dr. Laughery stated. In the last area of data collection, social data, the interaction of individuals in a man-machine sys· terns has an important role in determining system performance. One experiment seeks to discover how far an individual will go in violating his own· sensory experiences in order to · conform to group opiniQ.ns or norms. Such experiments, according to Dr. Laughery, do point out-in rather startling fashion-how much people are influenced by opinions. The Human Factors Laboratory,' in its second year of existence, is one of the most unique in any engineering school in the country. The experiments, with their cross-fertilization of disciplines in seeking solutions to man-machine problems, may have far-reaching effects upon the future. Since the pilot in World War II bad ·his landing probl~ms solved by ·human factors experimentation, the space pilot of the sixties and seventies may have more complicated problems removed by h~ factors research.~ �KNOW THE S~OBE Dr. Allen H . Kuntz, director of the Center of Instructional Services, would like for people to "stop believing in machines." Of computers, scpring machines, readers and the rest, he says, "They can' t read, they can't think-they do exactly what they are told to do." . And the IBM 1230 Optional Mark Scoring Reader, recently acquired by the Center, is-like the other machines-"no better than the personnel that run it," according to Dr. Kuntz. He does, however~ take pride in describing the new service of the Center which the machine makes possible. "Within a day," he says, "we can provide processed tests checked for rights, wrongs and omits." For a faculiT member this means all the scoring and evaluation of an objective examination, either multiple-choice or true-false, can be done "automatically." Efficient and effortless as this scoring process may appear, specific preparations are necessary to m'ake it possible. The most important preliminary proced4-fe is the assignment of a number for identification to each student taking a particular examination. This number muJt be marked on the answer sheets provided by the C.enter. It i.r the key to the U!hole record.r .ry.rtem. A permanent record card is punched by the 1230 for each answer sheet as it is scored. This card is just the beginning of preparation of the more complicated information about an examination the Center can provide. There is no such thing as a lost paper after it has been processed by the Center. In the event an answer sheet is misplaced after it has been processed, the permanent record card is available containing the identification of the student, his total score and up to three-part scores (number right, wrong and omitted) on the examination. A teacher without an iodination for statistical manipulations can find .many hours of detaileq c;lfort nee~ to furnish information beyond the first Leed of an examination-an evaluation of the student. Score distributions, calculation of averilges, class lists, tally of raw scores, statistital calculations andjor item analyses are valuable information for a teacher. But even for teachers well-versed in s~tistics, hours of detailed, complicated calculations would be necessary to produce this data. Producing this data by computer is not the entirely effortless process people are sometimes led to believe it is, and here, Dr. Kuntz stresses, is where competent machine operators and systems ~gineers make the machine look good. Mrs. Tess Reitmeier, machine operator in the Instructional Research Center, handles the IBM 1230 scoring machine which can process as many as twelve hundred ·answer sheets per hour. The permanent record card, produced in this operation, which contains the student identification number and all the scoring·· information of the examination, is the point of departure for Mr. Howard English, systems engineer. Mr. English writes programs for the 1401, 1620 and 7044 computers. His is the job of instructing the machines exactly in what they are to do so that the �desired results can be obtained. The program, a series of statements or directions which can be punched on cards and fed into a compiler, must be grammatically and logically correct in terms of the computer "language." The programming language generally used is FORTRAN, a for~a translation system of coding which the machine translates into its own "language," a binary system composed entirely of zeros and ones. As many as ei_ghteen hours of effort may go into preparing a program for which the machine can spit out the resultant data in twelve seconds. A givep program, however, may be used indefinitely so that, ultimately, a substantial savings of time is realize . Because machine-time is a valuable commodity, the 1401, a relatively small computer, is used as a feeder for the 7044. The smaller computer 'organizes the material to be presented to the large computer, acting as an intermediary between man and the electronic "brain." Other basic preparations for machine scoring of examinations are simply the use of a regular number two pencil for marking the sheets (rather than either a pen or the formerly used electrographic pencil) and reasonable. care to prevent folding, wrinkling or mutilation of answer sheets so that they can be fed into the machine. For classes of more than one thousand students, special arrangements must be made so that sufficient machine-time may be reserved. · With item analysis of examinations readily available, Dr. Kuntz points out that for the first time University faculty members can have an immediate total test reliability at their command. Since the discrimination of the item, or question, is determined by the number of high-scoring students who get a specific item right, compared to the number of lowscoring students that get the. same item right, the importance of each item in the test is apparent. . Construction o£ discriminating items may be called an ~ ~r a skill-but it is no accident.. In a multiplechoice Jtem, not only must the question or statement be precisely stated, but also each answer choice must be presented in an exact manner. These requirements are necessary to produce questions or statements with only one possible interpretation, and plausible answer choices with only one choice ehtirely correct or distinctly better than the others. True-false items must also be stated dearly md without ambiguity so that any student would at least know what is being asked whether or not he has the kiiowledge or skill necessary to make a correct answer. All this construction of test items is carried out with due regard to subjec;t matter. Thus, the teacher. may have as much time invested in ·the preparation of an examination as was previously necessary for "hand" scoring and analysis after presentation. Here, too, the Center for In~tructional Services is prepared to offer assistance _to the faculty. Mr. Thurlo Rt.Ssell, graduate assistant in the Center, functions as a consultant in test construction. Currently, Mr. Russell is working with the staffs of three departments in this capacity. · The· title of a booklet printed for the center, "An Instructor's Guide for Constructing, Administering, Scoring and Analyzing Oas5room Exams," indicates , the areas of effort necessary for the adequate eXamination of a class. And examination is only a part of teaching. Dr. Kuntz states that the Center for Instructional Services offers a competent, professional service to the faculty in examinations corrections, construction and analysis. It is his hope that those f~ty mem: bers conducting classes might be freed from a portion of the ever-mounting paperwork and so be ~re able to d~ote more of their working hours to .crea· tive teaching.~ · With the recent addition of the !BM 1230 scorIng machine, 't he Center for Instructional Set-vIces, uncle~ the direction of Dr. Allen H.

CARL GANS AJJociale ProfeJJor of Biology, and DR. THOMAS s. PARSONS Associate ProfeJJor of Zoology, University of Toronto Published by : The Academic PreJJ, New York, New York, Number qf pages: 106. Dissection of anatomical structures is a necessity for true comprehension of regional topography. Since the student ordinarily has only one specimen and even careful dissection implies displac:ement and destruction, this atlas was planned to facilitate visual recall of the· original condition. The basic i!ltent was to furnish a rapid guide to the location and general appearance of some 500 structures. It therefore demonstr.ates anatomical detail by labeled photographs and, where necessary, additional explanatory drawings. The atlas is not intended as a substitute for a dissection guide, but as a supplement : to a course of dissection. Its purpose is to call attention to points which, though illustrated, are often missed by students. 9 �Meet Yotlr Camp Mr. Leroy 0. Mayle, supervisor of technicians . in the School of Engineering, and his wife, Esther, ch1ef file clerk in the .Admissions and Records Office, have been UB staff members for four and five years respectively. Their son, Robert, now working toward a Ph.D. degree in engineering at Harvard, received his B.S. in 1960 and his M.A. in 1963, both from U B. Carole Lee, their daughter, assistant to the head nurse at Deaconess Hospital in Buffalo, attended UB in 1960 for her beginning studies ·in nursing. In his work, Mr. Mayle keeps in dose touch with the engineering faculty regarding projects in the fluids laboratory in the Parker Engineering building. He and seven technicians handle the equipment, including a sub-sonic wind tunnel and a two-foot open channel flhme, used to study, research and demonstrate the characteristics and flow patterns ,of air, gases and water. In her work, in Hayes Hall, Mrs. Mayle is in charge of correspondence and files. The office handles admission applications and records which go back to the beginning of the University. ·Mrs. Mayle finds knitting for her family and friends a relaxing pastime and sews some of her own clothing. Mr. Mayle's leisure is divided between playing classical music and hymns on his electronic organ and building furniture in his woodworking shop. He has constructed various items for their home in maple, walnut and mahogany. 'His electronic organ has been a major factor in Mr. Mayle's current interest in electronics. He has built some 'small amplifiers and enjoys reading in the areas of electronics, astonomy and science-fiction. The couple shares the do-it-yourself activity of home remodeling and since 1956 have completely re-done the ihterior of their home. During the years the Mayle's have held a special interest in the University, they have seen many changes. Mr. Mayle says they think each of them has lead toward the betterment of 'the University. The recent accreditation of the mechanical engineering department by the Engineers' Council for Professional Development is an example, he believes, of the forward movenient of the whole University. He says, "We both lind our jobs here very interesting, and as the University continues to grow we hope to grow with it."~ MR. LEIOY 0.

Dr. Storr lived in the Bahamas three yeais and taught in Queen's <;:allege, Nassau. "Survival in the Sea," a series of twelve, color marine films he took in the Bahamas, has been used for educational television. Dr. Storr says he "finds no fun in :fishing," but it was an almost daily activity in the Bahamas and a necessary means of supplying food. Those who live on or near the ocean, he live frpm it. He has cooked and eaten many types of·. sea and considers snails, crabs, scallops and various fish a fine working day breakfast when on the water. Octopus he laughingly rejects as "too .tough" after having · tried it once. L;ve animals in Dr. Storr's ·office must be pointed ?ut t«f other than biologists. Among the sponge specIDleDP- and coral collection, he has a tank of · live corals obtained from a biological supply house in ~assachusetts five months ago. Corals usually do !lot hve long out <;>f their· native .environment and Dr. Storr is pleased to have l::ieen able to maintain these. for such a period. The living corals are used -in the search for an answer as to why corals thtive best in areas of greatest wave action. It is not necessary for Dr. Storr and his students to go to the ocean for marine biology studies. They recently finished a one and one-half year study of currents in Lake Ontario and Dr. Storr states that the. pollution problem and other "forseeable" research coUld ~ily provide material for; study for fifty years. · Mater!al gathered during summers for the past several years has provided content for a monograph of eighty to ninety pages on coral reef zonation now in preparation for publication by the Geographical Society of America. .

Storr, "Ecology. of the Gulf of Mexico Commercial Sponges and its Relation to the Fishery," was pr~ted by the United States Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Servic!! as ·a special scienti1ic in March 1964. For relaxation, Dr. Storr designs and b~ds furniture. He works with walnut and has. made chairs, a coffee table, a high-fidelity set and other items. His present woodworking project is a table and chair set in Danish Modem style. .

UNIVERS-ITY ~~~cri~:J! HEALTH CENTER FO! . . ��BLUEPRINT FOR A UNJVERSITY HEALTH CENTER ~ L 1 His master blueprint drawn, a tall, soft-spoken administrator has begun to engineer a dynamic program toward an awesome des~y : ·reaching the zenith of quality health care for . the maximum_number_of people in the Niagara Frontier and the nation. Dr. Peter F. Regan, Ill, the Un-iversity's new VicePresident for Health Affairs, foresees time and co.ordination as the only roadblocks which may de_lay th~ realization of such a goal which will also propel the University's health science complex into national prominence. Within the framework of his bl~eprint · for health education-with one exception-the University and the Niagara Frontier contains all the necessary criteria. The blueprint, which will ultimately realize "better health care for everyone," is composed of five major parts : A University with its rich resources; a Center for health education within the University; a University Hospital within the.Center; affiliation of the Cen. ter with community hospitals; and woven throughout the program, the activities and perspective of the practicing health professional. With the -exception of the University Hospital (which is being planned) the b!ueprint fits the University and the Frontier hand in glove. Dr. Regan, the former Chairman of the.Department of Psychiatry at the College of Medicine _at the University of Florida, is a slender, beSpectacled man who encompasses many definitions. He is a man of unbridled optimism : "Our blueprint at the University can become a reality in five years." . ( co,;,;,,mJ) 3 �The center of attention in the Regan home is baby Jack, seated on his father's lap and encircled (from back left) by Steve, Pete IV, Mrs. Regan, Bill and Suzy. each new discovery or his education soon becomes nearly obsolete. Similarly, according to Dr. Regan, a new hospital is obsolescent the day it opens. The last major problem, according to Dr. Regan, is that the present level of improved health care is not enough. "While one life is saved, another is lost . . . to leukemia, to heart disease, to mental illness . . . we are a long distance from satisfying the human needs and desires we all share." The solution of these problems is education, according to Dr. Regan . "We can achieve the answers to these questions. only by acquiring more knowledge, by developing new techniques for using this knowledge, and by helping more people to acquire and use it. This means education. "It means education in a larger dimension than we are accustomed to thinking of it, however. It means education geared to both discovery and widespread application of discovery simultaneously." Thus enters the blueprint for health education, Dr Regan said. Are time and coordination the only problems facing the health complex's two-pronged march toward improved health care and national prominence? "I would think so," Dr. Regan said, "we have the essentials neeessary assuming the State University of New York continues its support and our expansion plans go according to schedule: "In many ways we have alr~dy attained national prominence particularly in some of our research work," he added. He is a man whose vision has penetrated the blindfold of tradjtion : "No longer can academic disciplines live in isolation from one another. A university is no longer a haven for a number of disciplines working in separate areas; instead it is a network of intercommunication among specialized areas, working together to advance the borders of science." He is a man of determination: "Producing more physicians, more dentists, and more of the other health professionals is doing no more than walking on a treadmill. It is true that increasing the number of health professions will prevent our present shortage from becoming worse. Our aim, however, is to improve the situation." Thus the man faced with the responsibility of improving the health care of thousands of people meets the challenge well armored with foresight, optimism, and a determination knowing no bounds. Three major problems confronting the Niagara Frontier, according to Dr. Regan are : "First, there is a need for more health professionals to meet the demands of the exploding population." In pointing out that the country's health centers must produce 25 per cent more graduates per year by 1975 to meet the population problem, Dr. Regan emphasized that this increase will only prevent the shortages from becoming any worse. "It will do nothing toward relieving the desperate shortages in the deprived areas of the world." Second, staggering new burdens rest on the shoulders of the health professionals and on health facilities. The great advances made by science and technology force the professional to keep abreast of 4 �"But today we still do not have everything completely developed in a way that will effectively meet and combat our health care _..problems," he said. "For example, we do not have ~ ,complete a research program as Harvard University's. What we do have are the essential tools to maka a complete educational development possible," Dr. Regan said. Following thorough examination by Dr. Regan, the tools have received a stamp of excellence : 1. The University: "The University as a basic resource for hea~ education has over the last 60 years emerged into academic maturity. "With increasing financial support from the State University, joined with a tradition of inter-disciplinary work, and with extraordinarily dose relationships with the community, this University is destined to become one of the greatest in the nation." 2. The Center for health education (Health Sciences Complex) : "We have a true Health Center here at the Universi-ty. Fundamental discoveries coming from one laboratory quickly 'can be brought to bear on every one of the health fields, and then carried rapidly into application in practice of health care. The thrust of collaborative work is already advanced, moreover, not only within the Center itself, but within its parent University." . 3. The University Hospital: "In 1962, planning began for the construction of the University Hospital as part of the Health Center. This Hospital, 'destined to be 300-400 beds in size, will provide clinical services for only a limited number of patients. Its contri- . bution to the network of affiliated teaching hospitals, and to the whole Niagara Frontier will be enormous." Dr. Regan anticipates that the University Hospital will serve as the hub for the region's health problems. "Here there will be the opportunity for interac- · tion among the resources of the University, the basic science departments, and the health practitioners of the community . .. the University Hospital will serve as the "testing zone" for new developments that emerge from tJt laboratories, in addition to being the common learning laboratory for all of the health professions." · . 4. The University affiliated hospitals: "To an almost unbelievable extent, the University-affiliated hospitals of the community have carried the standard of health education for more than a century. The hospitals provide a broad base for community-oriented health education as might be found ." After ·the health students have served a "basic clerkship" in the University Hospital, Dr. Regan said, the affiliated hospitals will accept them in orderly rotation and concentrate in giving them the final polish that will prepare them for an effective life in the health community. 5. The practicing health professionals: "Through the affiliated hospitals, through their professional organizations, and through their own efforts, the practi~ing physicians and dentists of the Niagara Frontier have long been the solid foundation of the professional schools' programs." Dr. Regan anticipates the continuance of this relation_ship .. and with the advent of the University Hospttal, the theatre .o f operation for the volunteer ~d part-time faculty member will be increased many ttme~. "He will benefit himself . ~ . as part and parcel of his participation in the program . . . from the opportunity to refurbish his skills, to keep abreast with rapidly-changing developments, to explore new areas in depth." The 40 year-old health educator is "astonished" by the assets which are available on the Niagara Frontier. "In other parts of the Unjte~ States, one or another of the basic elements of the blueprint for health are invariably missing. On the Niagara Frontier, however, all of the potential is present. The blueprint can become a reality, within five years." The fruits to be borne by the remarkable situation on the Frontier are three-fold, atcording to Dr. Regan. "With support from the State and with the. increase in our educational capacity through the construction of the University Hospital, we may expect a doubling of our productivity of professional personnel within 10 years." By 1974, Dr. Regan said, the health sciences will be graduating the following number of students : Medicine, 200 M.D.'s; Dentistry, 125 D.D.S.'s; Nurs-· ing, ·150 baccalaureate degrees ; Pharmacy, 80 pharmacists. In addition, according to Dr. Regan, there will be more than 50 Ph.D.'s in basic research graduated each year. Finally, he added, the total number of interns and residents taught in the University Hospital and affiliated hospitals will more than double. Secondly, the blueprint will produce graduates who are prepared to meet the challenge of the future . .. trained to bring the latest of scientific developments to the practice of the health professions within a living community, Dr. Regan said. "In short, the collaborative training within the University, the Health Center, and the community, by a unified full-time and volunteer faculty, will have prepared them to meet their responsibilities in the years that lie ahead.'' Tangible rewards for the efforts made through the blueprint will be seen according to Dr. Regan. "All of us will measure the rewards in terms of our gradually increasing longevity, and of the fulfillment of our health needs as we go on in our lives. "In the final analysis, it is this which we have a right to expect, and we can expect it in the light of our potential." A �Pulstar, the heart of the Nuclear Research Center, is easily visible through its pro· tective shield of pure water (note horizontal lines in cen· ter of photo caused by reflection of the water). This reactor core was converted from a steady state to a pul· sing state in June. ATOMS References to the atom keep recurring in the conversations ()f visionaries who are concerned with the future problems which will plague man, as well as in the laboratories of the practical, who are concerned with the problems which plague man today. It is a much more vigorous intellectual exercise to diagnose the possible changes in our fundamental picture of ourselves and the Universe than it is to prognosticate on the physical changes which applied nuclear science will engender. Yet it is already obvious that Einstein will take his place beside Copernicus and Newton as the architect of a new reality. Observers in the proximity of State University at Buffalo art in a unique position to keep one eye on atomic developments, both basic and practical. For they have as an integral part of their environment a nuclear reactor capable of shedding new light on the fundamental structure of matter. In this realm, Dr. Lyle Borst, professor of physics and astronomy, last year proved that the ceaseless, infinitesmal vibrations in matter have the power, under certain conditions, to bounce away powerful streams of neutrons. Previously it was thought that the reflection of neutrons off a surface was caused by actual collision with the nuclei. Dr. BOrst pro ed that this collision is not necessary; it is some property of You may fail to see an immediate connection between a sterilized house By and a new conception of reality. As a matter of fact, the unfortunate By and the neurotic philosopher are both victims of a bit of whirling energy several trillion times smaller than either of them-the atom. For just as man's knowledge of the atom is enabling him to change some of the fundamental aspects of his environment, it is al59 forcing him to consider himself differently in relation to the Universe because of the new facts he knows about it. For this reason, those who are concerned with the ultimate nature of reality must be concerned with the atom-in so far as an artist or · humanist isl concerned with man's conception of the fundamental nature of reality and its effect upon him, he must be concerned with the atom. The theoretical scientist may or may not feel comfortable in the presence of the nuclear reaction, but he too must cross any vacuum which exists between himself and atomic science, for he inevitably will find it radiating into his own discipline. 6 �/ (_ built with compressed pellets of uranium dioxide a cer~ic material. The reactor is now capable of 'releasmg surges of neutrons in excess of four billion wa~uivalent to about. 5,360,000 horsepower. It IS capable of producing irradiation with neutrons, g~a-rays, protrons, electrons and x-rays. . Th1s pulse capability is expected to give increased 1mpetus to the nucleus of projects which have been attracted to the reactor since it was· opened in 1961. Over the past several years, a multiplicity of activities have been developed which cut across numerous disciplines. Medical studies have been conducted to ascertain the effects of irradiation on biological systems. These studies tie in with the concerns of space scientists who want to know what happens to tissue when it is exposed to space radiation. The new pulse mode will open new frontiers of study on the effects of nuclear blasts. These studies might ' well provide statistical ammunition for the hurnan~st or diplomat who is ' struggling to insure that mankind will not destroy itself with its own amoral ingenuity. Radioactive isotopes-elements which have had their nuclei altered by radiation-have been manufactured for both therapy and tracing. For therapy, the isotopes can be used to destroy undesirable tissue, both by injecting it directly into the affected org~ or · introducing it 'into the blood stream in a form which will cause it to collect in a certain part of the body. An example of the latter is radioactive -iodine which will collect in the thyroid. This property has rendered it useful in fighting cancer in that gland. Used as tracers, radioactive isotopes tend to collect in certain organs, revealing abnormal functions through radiation counts. Recently, a study was launched using radiation to measure the tiny amounts of various metals in the blood such as copper or iron. The absence or presence of certain metals, or variations in amounts, doctors feel may be clues to the early stages of certain diseases. Dr. Raymond H. Ewell, vice-president for research, recently predicted the possibility of wid~pread famine in Asia in the late 1970's and early '80's. Food sterilization and pasteurization through bombardment with gamma radiation may be one dramatic step toward solving this problem. Irradiated bacon has been aP-proved for human consumption by the Food and Drug Administration and sev~ral other f~s have been okayed or are waiting approval. Reactor operations manage.r, William Hall, has begun work on the problem. . . A public education job would be necessary 10 the late stages of development to, convince· people ~at there is no danger from the process.

'T hus another penetration has been made into the nature of reality. In isolation, this type of discovery may not seetn relevant to the man who prides himself on th~ broadest possible view of life-but the broad view is, after all, only reached when a multiplicity of isolated impressions are synthesized and distilled in the mind. This research, and most of the other basic theoretical work at the reactor, was accomplished through the use of seven beam tubes. These tubes are actually ports which penetrate the reactor's six-foot concrete shield and allow radiation to emerge. On June 22, 1964, a new reactor core called "pulstar" went critical. "Pulstar" was a $500,000, ($110,000 Atomic Energy Commission, $200,000 American Machine and Foundry, $120,000 State University of New York, $70,000 Western New York Nuclear Research Center) mnversion of the reactor core from steady state to a pulsing mode. The original fuel core was replaced with new fuel elements (Co,tilllln) 7 �credit card billing system was superior to all others and wrote one $3-million order as a direct result of this proof. Bell Aerosystems Company and Lockheed Missiles have used the reactor for studies of radiation effects on components of space vehicle systems. A control console was tested for Curtiss-Wright which was ultimately installed in the first reactor ever built in Thailand. A continuing project involves the uses of radiation to control bird population which may ultimately reduce the danger of airplane acciderfs caused by birds. Ultimately, this type of research might be used to control animal . populations to insure a balance between the size of the pOpulation and the environment's ability to support it. Conservationists and nature lovers feel this problem will become increasingly critical as masses of undeveloped land are gobbled up by the population explosion. Why the imbalance between University and industrial activity at the Center? Officials feel it is a problem of circularity. Top-level nuclear scientists cannot be attracted unless superior nuclear equipment is available. Yet it is difficult to justify the construction of expensive nuclear equipment unless the personnel are bombarded. Rather it effects only the growth of bacteria and the functioning of certain enzymes which speed decay. If this technique is successfully developed, it would make available huge masses of food preserved on a semi-permanent basis and easily shipped and stored without knotty preservation problems of refrigeration, canning or other protection. Today, mass distribution programs are possible only with such staples as wheat, but eventually, it is conceivable that milk could be shipped overseas in huge tankers, or meat and vegetables, fruit and other perishables on ordinary freighters . This then, is another poignant example of nuclear technology changing the fundamental nature of man's problems. However, the relatively recent emergence of nu- · clear science. on the national scene, has made it difficult to find the people with appropriate training and interest. Center officials indicated that the use of reactor facilities by . campus researchers has been slowly growing since 1961. However, during the first two years of its existence, the bulk of its activity was centered on industrial research. Moore Busiqess Forms was able to prove that its Covered by protective suiting, a physics assistant prepares to enter the "hot cell" area, a room off the ~ore center used for radiation of materials.

Under the leadership of President Clifford C. Furnas and Mr. James C. Evans, now general manager of the Center, it was decided that the University would take the plunge and develop the equipment first. But other universities have not been standing still and the competition for the best men is still fierce. The new pulsing mode, as well as the planned over-all campus expansion, will improve ·!the bargaining power. Some progress has already been made. In addition to Dr. Borst's interest in the reactor, the first faculty member in nuclear engineering this fall will join the Division of Interdisciplinary Studies and Research in the School of Enginering. Presently, with all Divisions except the health sciences scheduled to move to the new campus, the Center is carefully weighing the future. It is trying to coordinate its plans to provide for the anticipated growth df faculty and graduate research, including necessary office and laboratory space to house activities of those Schools and Departments moving to the new campus. Because of the reactor, the University shares in the quest of knowledge which has staggering import for the future of the world-and we are still in the dark ages of peaceful nuclear development-so dark th~t it is hard to even imagine some of the potential uses. In the not-too-distant future, land will become increasingly precious iLs the world .fills with peopl~ but the atom will open up vast tracts of desert and tundra which are now useless. .Already, a type of reactor called a "breeder" is in operation which produces more atomic fuel than it consumes. Thus, we have a virtually unlimited ·source of inexpensive power, not dependent on either water, which is not handy on a desert, or fossil fuels ~hich are expensive to ship and ultimately limited in quantity. .Atomic desalination plants will supply water, pumped overland from the sea. The Atomic Energy Commission predicts that by the year 2,ooo·more than half of the nation's electric power will be produced by splitting the atom . .After power and water development, radioisotopes will be used to .fight plant disease and insects, to develop new types of plants-all of which would make vast new regions productive. Predictions are made that the atom will be· warming the polar regions , and air-conditioning the tropics. · · .Another virtua11y untapped source of sustenance is the sea. Nuclear energy, al1owing men to stay beneath the sea for nearly unlimited _periods, will allow undersea mining, food cultivation and even living space. It is estimated that the sea possesses enough of many natural resources to last projected world populations fo~ a million years. Leaving the probable for the proven, we cari find the atom appearing in such unlikely places as. ·police stations. .A new method of crime detection based upon atomic radioactivity has been developed to a point where the process is now accepted as evidence in United States courts, according to a report submitted to the United Nations .Atoms for Peace <;:onference.

It will interest a diversified audience including professionals and students in the behavioral sciences and industrial administrators and educators. SWIMMING AND DIVING OFFICIATING BY CARL TON R. MEYERS Auistant Professor of Education, and WILLIAM H. SANFORD, III Instructor in Men's Physical Education and Varsity Swimming and Tennis Coach Published by: The National Preu, Palo Alto, California. Number of Pages: 88. Organized competitive swimming and diving involves participation of both sexes from childhood to adulthood. Few other sports offer such a wide range of competition involving so many contestants. Since this creates a tremendous need for officials to insure ·that competition is conducted in a desirable manner, many persons with little, if any, prior experience are pressed into service. This results in a large number of poorly qualified officials to administer competitive swimming and diving meets. This book is w~itten to assist in the understanding of desirable characteristics of the competent official, his function and responsibility, the development and appraisal of competency, and the importance of professional organization' for officials. 10 FROM THE FACULTY �THE SOCIOLOGY OF CITIES BY JoHN SIRJAMAKI ProfeJJor of Sociology P11blished by: ~ndom HoiiSe, N ew York, New Y ork. N11mber of PageJ: 328. In this new basic textbook for urban sociology, Dr. John Sirjamaki writes about cities not merely as separate units but as integral components of the national communities in which they exist and about the social and cultural changes they undergo within these larger entities. Applying a broad historical and cultural approach to the subject., the author develops a consistent sociological theory of cities based upon a comparative analysis of the social order. The use of .an institutional approach will bring to mind the conception of the city developed in the work of Max Weber. This book advances earlier theories, however, by offering a more extensive treatment of cities and by examining topics of sociological import such as large scale organizations, bureaucracy, stratification, power structure, and social order. Building upon the materials and methods of previous surveys, it presents a lucid, comprehensive, and balanced approach to the study of urban sociology. SUPPLEMENT TO THE DE GAULLE REPUBUC BY RoY C. MAcRIDIS ProfeJJor and Chairman of Political Science, and BERNARD E. BROWN . AJJociate ProfeJJor of Political Science Pr1blished by: The Dorsey Press, Inc., Homewood, lllinois. Numbe~ of Pages: 141. In July of 19~, TIIE DE GAULLE REPUBLIC, QUEST FOR UNITY, initi~y appeared in print. In the time since, the Fifth Republic has faced many challenges and in the process, has undergone noteworthy changes. The authors, therefore, have added four new chapters on the settlement of the Algerian War, the continuing political influence of the Army, the evolution of political institutions, and the elections of November, 1962. There is also an appraisal of the social trends which, according to some observers, are leading to a refashioning of the French political culture. The supplement is not simply an updating; it is a fresh look at the Gaullist regime in the fifth year of its existence. At some future time, when the Fifth Republic can be definitively situated in the political history of France, the authors hope to present a more thorough and far-reaching revision of this text. 11 �Meet Your ~ampus he attended the University of Illinois to obtain both his Masters and Doctorate degrees and in th~ 1953 and '59 school years when he was Visiting Professor· of History at Rochester and Cornell Universities, respectively. In 1940, he was appointed Lecturer in History in the College of Arts and Sciences. He advanced to full professor in 1952. His present appointment as Samuel Paul Capen Professor of History was made in July, 1959. The purpose of the Capen Professorship is "to perpetuate the services of former Chancellor Capen to the cause of American democracy and to promote the teaching and interpretation of American History." In recommending Dr. Adler, his colleagues noted · "his inspiration of our students with ideals of democracy and with a sense of dedication to research. His own studies . . . represent a constant re-interpret;ttion of American History which reflects the trde spirit of democracy . . . for these studies he has gained a national reputation." These studies include a number of major articles which have appeared in historical journals, his fulllength study, The !Jolationist Impuls,e, Its 20th Century Reaction, published in 1957 and sketch of the background of American-Israel diplomatic and cultural relations published in 1956, as a part of a volume entitled, Israel, Its Role in Civilization. Dr. Adler is now working on a third book which is to be one of a series of eight volumes on history of American foreign policy covering the period from 1921-41. He hopes for a 1965 publication date for this work. After more than a quarter century of teaching of history, Dr. Adler still views his job as training teachers in history. "I try to pass on whatever skills I may have to my students to help them to become useful and creative teachers of history." He takes pride in' noting the greatest number of majors in the College of Arts and Sciences are history majors and believes this justifies the policy in the History Department of having veteran professors teach introductory and survey courses. His own beginning class of United States History at noon on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, a standby of the years, is an example. Dr. Adler sees the introduction of students to college history as an important step in their study because "it can show them that history study is necessary to understand our present cultures and to understand civilizations of the past." Dr. Adler describes teaching as "one of the most important factors of my · life, In which I have a profound interest." He agrees with . the axiom "those who do not know history are destined to repeat it" and sees the greatest use of history as "a means of understanding our social, economic, and cultural heritage--how we came to be what we are today." A ~olleagues his To' ~ Dr. Selig Adler, Samuel Paul Ct~pen Professor of History, say ,;There is little you can do with history but teach it", comes as a surprise when one begins to know how much he has done as a teacher of history. The fact that Dr. Adler can go almost anywhere in the Buffalo area and encounter former students attests to the .number of years he has devoted to teaching. The fact that a committee of his colleagues recommended him for the professorship he now holds, and that his articles and lectures on both American and American -Jewish history are too numerous to Jist, attests to professional regard for his work. His own comments on his work show his personal devotion to his field. Dr. Adle; began his career as a teacher in Buffalo. The depression years took much from many, but surely gave a lot to the high school students in 1934 who were taught history by a man with his Ph.D. degree. In 1938, Dr. Adler was appointed Lecturer in History at Millard Fillmore College to begin his professional association with UB. He was not a stranger on campus, however. In 1928 he had come to UB as a 17 year-old freshman and finished his B.A. degree in three years, graduating summa cum laude. .The only break in the time Dr. Adler spent on this campus since then ~ during 1931-34 when 12 �RAYMOND EWELL, VicePresident for Research, has maintained a busy summer schedule of speakiflg and conference engagements dealing with food and population problems.

Eckis, Jr. , President of Payment Plans, Inc., and friend of the University, ·established the ROBERT MARK GIETZEN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP honoring the seven -year-old son of business associate Joseph Gietzen. Mr. Eckis said, "Bob Gietzen never really had a crack at life and through this scholarship we will remember this young boy who died at much too early an age. " It is my fondest hope that others in Buffalo con cerned with the progress of education will similarly establish scholarships through the UB Foundation. "The State provides the essential funds necessary for operating t!te University but other funds for re· search, scholarships and innovation projects must be raised by the Foundation." · DR. HEYD ESTABLISHES THE FIRST LIFE iNCOME CONTRACT AT UB. Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, graduate of the School of Medicine Class of 1909, has challenged his fellow alumni to accept "The Challenge of Adaptatiun." Speaking before the New York City alumni, Dr. Heyd stated emphatically, "It is a recognized concept of biology that no living organism has succeeded in living unless it made an accommodation to its environment . . . on reflection it soon becomes apparent that a faculty in the University system must have access to funds beyond the State budget, and that this should offer no conflict in the minds of people who can grasp the changes occurring in our society. The cqpcept of a state endowed university did not mean t!Tat private donations were to ~e abolished. On the contrary, it meant that private gifts must be continued and increased." Dr. Heyd established the first life income contract in the UB Foundation and has since made provision for endowment and medical education in his will. A copy of Dr. Heyd 's talk is available free of charge in the UB Foundation Office, Old Faculty Club, Campus.

We are pleased that payroll deductions, starting with the Jan· uary 1965 pay period, will be available for those who prefer this easy payment method. " Although the Unive~sity family has supported the United Fund annually without thought of personal benefits, the new members of the faculty may be interested to know that nearly 1,000 of us have used some of the 63 United Fund Services in 1963-64. "I am especially pleased with the spirit of our students this year in spearheading our appeal with the pledge of $3,000 from the Campus Barrel. "To coordinate the University United Fund Appeal this fall I am calling on our successful team of last year: Dr. William J. O'Connor, Chairman;· Mrs. Norma 1-taas, Associate Chairman; Mrs. Emily Ewald, Executive Secretary; and 150 members of the faculty, staff and student body." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

J.~ c.c.~;,tnos "-ldent �to heep pace mith the future • •• Historians may peg the final half of the 20th Century as ·"the brutalizer of traditions." Certainly· tJ:te . blinding flash on August 6, 194' over Hiroshima blasted irreparable .fissures in the ivory ~er• .advancing with terrifying force the novel idea. that eggh~s could do something practial if the military could only keep them organized. Th~ final collapse of ~e toy.rer came about ten years later when Sputnik persistently ~cled... the earth. Its beeping signal rang the death-knell fot the. old American mythology that simplicity, "old fashioned" hard work and judicious investments "will keep us ~ead." Suddenly, · the "egghead" found himself being dragged into public service by that very same hair which previously had been purported not to exist. Almost miraculously, the scientist took his place beside the football player and the q>wboy as an American folk hero. All this vulgar attention served only to · make him not a little bit uncoinfortable-a discomfort quickly assuaged by millions of dollm in public funds for the .6rst time placed in reach of a reasonable research proposal. Since 1940, there has been a twenty-fold increase in the research e1fort in · the country. The public, then, has becOme interested in education l~gely for the pradioi.l benefits which can be accrued. But, regardless of motivations, interesting as it is, the result has been. a flood of col· lege applicants and a. new scrutiny of education by the public and its governmental represehfatives. , 3 �Some benefits--as well as frustrations--of becoming a member of State University of New York were · immediate. Salaries tended to move upward-but rising enrollments drove the availability of space :md equipment downward. More faculty a~d. staff lt_nes were available--but there were only lam1ted off1ces to house them, and often inadequate labs and libraries in which they could work. As time went by, it became obvious that these were not the calculated problems caused by a distrustful bureaucracy. Rather, they were the labor pains of unprecedented change which were only too natural in the birth of a new institution . Perhaps the ideological pains have been more seve e than the practical. Certainly they are much farther from solution . . But, necessarily, the campus planners must pierce through the cress currents of opinion surrounding the thousand -plus acres of undeveloped land north _ of the city. Theirs is the very practical business of analyzing the myriad of details and m*ing the necessary decisions on the location of buildings, the amount of space required for each division, and the relationship between campus areas. If we can judge by the pattern set at both the Albany and the Stony Brook campuses, the first building likely to rise on the new site will reflect the practical temperament needed to build a physi,cal plant,. for it will undoubtedly be a service building and boiler house. This will serve as the hub of the physical services and maintenance necessary to the operation of any group of buildings, although it will be tucked into a corner of the campus . However, before ground is broken for any building, many variables must be dealt with . Planning will be based not only upon hard facts and historical precedent, but also upon hopefully intelligent predictions of what individual needs are likely to be within the structure of a vastly expanded university. Planners must work with what up to this point has been largely a vision- a university with a total enrollment of 27,000; with nine-million square feet of building space compared with today's 2,300,000; with resident faci lities for 10,500 students versus the present 2,450; with a research program expected to more than double today's seven million dollars; and with a total income estimated at SO-million dollars- two and one-half ,times the present level. \ As a base point, the planners break down the development of the new campus Into two very broad phases--site acquisition and site development The. acquisition includes "flying the area" or aerially photographing it, development of an acquisition map and taking title to the property. The magnittlde of the problem of site development can be compared to planning a city for 25000 people right from scratch. For example, the University is already the largest . single telephone customer in Western New York. ••• new university campus Couple all this with the sheer bulk of a world population predicted to double by the year 2000, the new needs and . demands of backward countries, as well as the cybernetic revolution, and it becomes pain fully obvious that many academic traditions are in the process of evaporation. · The State University of Buffalo is in the front ranks of the institution; which have shed tradition in order to keep pace with the .future. Wistfully signing away more than 100 years of privacy in 1962, it chose to plunge into the raging and sometimes icy currents of New York State public higher education. At the time the merger was controversial, and for some, too painful to live with. Today it is simply history. 4 �John A. lleane, Director, and John I . Warren, Coordinator O"ice of Planning and Development, looking over space alia: calion prajecflons the new ca111pua. Many knotty problems emerge not immediately apparent to those of us who are ·not in the business of building physical plants. Consider, for example, such matters as the need for fire protection. Suburban volunteer companies can hardly be expected to assume the responsibility for what amounts to a whole new community which will suddenly appear in their back yard. The most likely solution will be to employ a full-time fire department on the campus. Will the sewage, highway, .Power and water systems of the area meet the needs of the University? If not, cooperative steps must be taken with the community to develop these utilities. These matters are evaluated simultaneously with a study of the b~adest possible segments which oomprise ~e campus. Major planning divisions such as academic, service, residential and reqeational, are made in order to establish a specific frame of reference from which to work. Their intetrelatiooships are considered from as many angles as possible for the decisions are fundamental to the Uni~ity's future. Such questions as the relationship between various disciplines, the role of athletia and the aesthetic potential of the natural surroundings are now being studied. · At the next .planning level, each broad area, sudt as academic, is broken down further, and the intet- �experience, lessons learned from the expansion and development of other universities and the considera• tion of such hard facts as budgetary limitations. Net and gross square foqtage requirements must be computed for every department. "Net" square footage is defined as the area needed for instruction, laboratories, faculty offices and classrooms, while gross square footage refers to a building area from outside wall to outside wall including stairways, corridors, lavatories, and other service areas. The buildings will go up in three phases, still to be decided upon. The first phase · will be underway in 1965, but it is still too early ·to predict the n.te at which construction will proceed. The other two phases will follow at regular intervals until stiuction of the new campus is complete sometime in the 1970's. To add what comes close to being the proverbial straw to the planners load, all this must be accomplished in a manner that allows the University to continue all its functions while the transition from the old campus to the new takes place. Who are the people responsible for the task? Nearly every administrator and many of the faculty at the University will be working at the specific plans for the new campus, some in their own 'specialty, others on the over-all planning. The coordinating office at State University at Buffalo is the Office of Planning and Development directed by Professor John A. Beane. His office will work closely with the Office of Facilities of the State University of New York and with the State University Construction Fund. Mr. Gordon Bunshaft, partner in the firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, and designer of the Air Force Academy and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery wing, will be the chief architect. Buildings alone can not make a university, but they can provide the proper environment. They can insure freedom from irritating, cramped classrooms and offices. They can eliminate the frustrations which occur when a man with an idea cannot find the proper stage, the appropriate laboratory, or the adequate library to mold thought into reality. The University community is eager to see the new construction get underway, not necessarily to work in spanking new buildings, although this is ari 11dded benefit since it is impossible to divorce oneself completely from one's surroundings-but fundamentally, the new campus will serve as a vehicle to assist in reaching the goals expressed in 11 telegram from this institution to State University officials at the time of the merger: " . . . We know that State University of NeVI York and the University at Buffalo will rise to ever greater heights of service to tlie people of Western New York, of the State of New York, of the Nation, and of the world . . ." cfm· ••• to • rue to greater . heights of ' serv1~e relationships within it are worked out. For purposes of illustration, the major academic area of the campus might be divided into humanities, fine arts, social sciences, physical sciences, natural sciences and the library. Each of these subdivisions is studied thoroughly in consultation with deans and department heads to determine the need for such special considerations as ·laboratories, theaters, or auditoriums. The residential area might be subdivided into men's and women's dormitories, married student housing and the student union. A fundamental planning problem is establishing the physical relationship between the academic and residential areas. For example, cases are known to exist in which poor planning of a campus. resulted in students living in dormitories located two miles from eight o'clock classes. ConC'urrently with this study, the estimates of square footage needed are being developed ·and evaluated. This is done by consulting with departments and major divisions, and by a technique which planners call "gut analysis."

THE "OUTPOST" CONCEPT STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT BUFFALO COMPUTING CENTER The first link in an electronic chain which may serve as a tnodel in a plan to electronically interconnect many of the State University's · ~8 units, has been established at a local hospital by the State University at BuHalo's Computing Center. A SmalJ computing facility has been installed at the Edward J. Meyer Memorial Hospital for use by medial personnel in need of in~ormation which may take hours of research and calculation. ' 7 �"Many of the smaller units of the State _Dnive~ity could install facilities which would feed duectly mto our Center," he said. If this was done, thousands of dollars would be saved through installation of the small "in-put-output" facilities at each unit instead of a large and more costly computer. "It must be kept in mind, however," Mr. Meyer said, "that as the use of our present facilities inc>Ceases the Center must prepare to meet the dem ds through installation of larger, more sophisticated machines." · The burgeoning use of computers presents a critical education problem currently being considered by the University. . "There is a tremendous need for fully educated, welf trained computer operators, progr~ers, analysts and designers, and the supply is constantly far below the demand," Mr. Meyer said. He and Iris associates feel strongly that it is the responsibility of the University to establish a firm educational program in the area of computers. " It is a complex problem and there are various ways of approaching the establishment of curricula," Mr. Meyer said. He pointed out it could be instituted on a graduate level, offering advanced d~grees in computer operation .to graduate engineers, mathematic majors, and others. Or; on a broader scale, he said, an educational program beginning on the undergraduate level through the doctorate degree could also be established. "The University is concerned about this problem and a great deal of study and analysis will be done before a·decision is reached ." Mr. Meyer said. The basic concepts of computer operation are already being taught to high school teachers, Mr. Meyer said. "We hope to broaden the teaching of computer operation in high schools in order that college freshmen interested in the areas .of learning which require computer assistance will not feel completely lost and will be prepared for more advanced study in college. "It will also assist those high school graduates not going on to college since they will have some knowledge in a field where employment should be easy to obtain." Forming the foundation for the broad expansion is the Center's multi-faceted computer, the "7044." Sherman Hall and the School of Engineering howe the "7044's" comparatively dwarf-like colleagues, the two "1620's." The dwarfism of the "7044's" companions is reflected in capability' more - than in physical size. It is calculated that the "7044" is ·~p­ proximately ~00 times faster than its two associates. Each day the larger computer, after digesting ~ healthy portion of "FORTRAN," performs such tasks as solving one-half million additions in one MAN AND MACHINE • .. Senior electronic computer operator Dennis A. Henneman checks output listings from the 7044. By feeding data about the problem into the ''input" facility at the hospital, one of the University's two "1620" computers instantly receives it and in a · matter of minutes the answer is returned to the hospital. This n~ concept greatly reduces tedious hours of computation by hospital personnel with an attendant increase in time available for exploring new research possibilities. The manager of the University's Center, Mr. Rudolf Meyer, envisions other major projects for the computing facility. Mr. Meyer, manager of the Center ·since 196.1, said many of the University's various ~epartments will soon have computing facilities similar to those at Meyer Memorial. "Many of the depa.rtments in the School of Medicine anq the School of Engineering will soon have similar facilities in order that they may reduce time and cost in research," Mr. Meyer said. Expecting more hospitals in the area to follow the lead of Meyer Memorial, Mr. Meyer also feels that the establishment of this "outpost" concept can be spread throughout the entire State University system. 8 ) �second and decimating ~ man-years of equation solving into three or four ho'urs of electronic compu· tation. Today, because of the more powerful "7044," the "1620s" are used primarily for training and education. FORTRAN (short for formula translation) is the language used in all three computers. All data in· structions are written in FORTRAN by a programmer as the first of two step process in using the computer. Then the information is fed into the machine and the results are computed through an amazing, intricate combination of spinning t!ipes, flickering lights and maze of odd-shaped dials-all nearly instantaneously. "Setting up the project by· the programmers takes much more time than the solution by the computer," according to Mr. Meyer. "The computers are invaluable particularly when a problem must be worked and reworked thousands and thousands of times." Used by personnel from nearly every department in the University, the Center's largest user is the School of Medicine with its multitude of research projects. The main criticism of .computers and automation in general-the elipllnation of jobs-was met with a strong argument by Mr. Meyer. "The further we advance in improving the computers the more employment we are creating," he ·said. "There are hundreds of thousands of people employed in the development, .the building, the installing apd the operating of computers in addition to the many places of employment using computers. "We are not eliminating as many jobs as one may think." Mr. Meyer pOinted out that instead of a bank teller balancing the books ~ch day it can now be accomplished by a computer operator. "Instead of eliminating jobs, the age of computer is calling for a different type of education," he said.

BRADLEY CHAPIN Dean of University Coilege. Published by the University of Washington Press, Seallle, Washington . Number of pages: 172. "The American Law of Treason" is an extensively documented survey of the beginning, development, and implementa.tion of an ancient English statute first transplanted to a new jurisdiction and then adapted to a new form of government. Dean Chapin reviews the history of the treason laws of England, their earliest applications, and the development of new definitions of the treason laws . constructed to protect the monarchy. He traces American legislative and judicial treatment of the high crime, first in the seventeenth century and then in pre-Revolutionary America of the eighteenth century. Since little has been written about the early history of the American .substantive and procedural law of treason, this work is a unique contribution and will be of value to historians, political scientists, and lawyers. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LEARNING APPLIED TO TEACHING BY DR. RICHARD B . BUGELSKI Professor of Psychology. Published by The BobbsMtrriil Company, Inc., Indianapolis; New York . Number of Pages: 278. Despite almost a century of studying the process of learning, psychologists have as yet applied little of their findin.!JS to educational problems. In this book, Dr. Bugelski makes one of the initial contributions w):lich may be directly applicable to teaching and learning. In seeking to derive principles of .psychology that have meaning for teachers, Dr. Bugeiski cuts across various theoretical systems and schools noting the strengths and weaknesses of each. The book also provides a rejoinder to recent attacks on education. The author holds that teachers are frequently criticized for alleged ineffectiveness, wJien, in fact, " their work situation is made impossible, by a public that insists Of! transforming places of instruction into commtinity social institutions." The critics, Pr. Bugelski says, have beeri attacking education, not teachers. In providing an understanding of . the differences involved, he has provided a fresh approach to a complex problem. 10 THE FACULTY �MECHANICS OF DEFO- SOUDS BY OR.. IRVING H.

A feeling widely held by participating researchers and supportin~ university administrators is that mean- · ingful inquines into metropolitan phenomena are dependent on two premises. The first is that identification of worthwhile topics for research in metropolitan areas had to be preceded by an inventory of an area's more re~ily discernable characteristics. The second premise co{\cerns the formulation of a research agenda showing the more salient and pregnant subjects culled from the inventory. During 1962, thirteen faculty metnbers representing the disciplines of economics, law, public health, sociology, political science, education, social work, geology, and geography labored, with the assistance of graduate students and a grant, to construct such an inventoey and to ascertain the significance of its components. The authors' results comprise ·an inventory of what is known · about the Buffalo metropolitan area, and suggestions for further research into its implications and its voids. . 11 �Meet Your had exhibits at the Hotel Statler, the Albright Art Gallery and the Buffalo Society of Artists. A member of the Fine Arts League, she continues to pursue her artistic bent, choosing as subjects her family of four children and six grandchi ldren. (Her son, W . Mark Palmer, Jr. of Clarence is a UB Pharmacy alumnus.) It may be the age of the abstract in art, but Mrs. Palmer still "prefers traditionalists." The direction of her attentions has not always been exclusively aesthetic. She has been an active participant in tennis, canoeing, skating, hockey and snowshoeing, and in swimming she achieved some distinction. At the Buffalo Athletic Club, where she used to swim a mile four tiines a week, she received a gold medal for speed and a bronze medal for distance. , Although the criteria for being a receptionist doesn't necessarily include proficiency in the arts or athletics, to be a good receptionist requires a multitude of .talents. Probably the most important is getting along well with people. More than 600 members of the Faculty Club can testify to Mrs. Palmer's success in this subtle human art. The first and only Faculty Club receptionist (she came to the University in 19'4 when . the Faculty Club membership was just 300) is a combination bookkeeper, secretary, traffic manager and house mother. She discharges her- duties with the care and courtesy that help make a stop at the Faculty Club a warm and restful respite for University faculty and staff. ~ampus ~olleagues MRS. IRENE T.

During her studies at Harding Hall College and Western University in her native London, Ontario, she and her parents took a six-month tour of Canada, the British Isles (becoming acquainted with her an cestral Scottish home) and Europe. The arts have always headed her list of prominent interests. She studied piano and voice at the London Conservatory of Music, singing extensively in church, concert and recital performances in the London area.

Dr. Bradley Chapin, Dean of University College,has been named Director of the Institute. Dean Chapin expressed the hope that the Institute will de v e 1 o p into a research base for American graduate students and professors, and perhaps even become a nucleus for undergraduate work abroad in the future. Dr. Chopin Dr. Raymond H. Ewell, Vice-Pre s ide n t for Research, working at the present time with Dean Chapin on the a d m i n i s t r a t i v e and financial arrangements, was in Paris this month making the appropriate arrangements for future operations of the Institute. · Operated by the U. s. Information Agency since 1960, the Institute was originally conceived to meet French education needs in the realm of American social sciences. Since the be ginning of the · Institute, American professors have beenllecturlng in English to advanced French students. Mr. Llncfem., ) 2 �Dr. Roy C. Macridis, Chairman of the Political Science Department, is credited with originating the idea for such an institute. "Under the sponsorship of the University~ it is hoped that the Institute will develop into an advanced_..academic center for the study of American socia~ ., economic, and political problems," commented Dr. Macridis. Slated for publication next year is a book of Mr Posner's most recent poems. Based around a hugh ~.oem, a p p e a r,in g in Poetry Chicago, entitled Algerian Summer," the book will · include works which have appeared in The New Yorket, ~ Nation, Saturday Review, Kenyon Review, and Encounter. · Dr. Macridis feels with adequate financial support from · various sources, the Institute can develop into a major graduate research center for American and European students. It can also serve to cultivate contacts and con versa t ion between American and European s tude n t s and scholars, expose Frencbj students to American topics and courses, and provide an opportunity for Americans to spend time in E u rope studying French and European political, economic , and social issues. .;--Kesearclt :DirectPrs -r(J Address ereative PrP61em-SPiviHg !Hstifllfe The directors of four major centers of research in creativity will present special seminars at the Tenth Annual Creative Problem-Solving Insti~te at the University, June 22-26.

Dober (Reinhold Publishing Corp_o ration, New York, $25), covers the hottest s u b j e c t in the development circles of higher education today. It contains a wealth of excellent photographs, sketches, and blueprints, with long and carefully prepared captions, and can easily serve as a good text for architects. If the layman has the courage to tackle the work he will find the going tough but rewarding, particularly in the early historical chapters of the book. Even the administratOr with only a passing interest in actual building design will be fascinated by the illustrations even if he skips the text completely. Bticks and Mortarboards, available without cost from Educational Facilities Laboratories, Inc., New York, is a good companion text to Campus Planning. The text is good, readable and well organiz~d, but, the illustrations are useless and the chapters on classrooms .and total campus planning do not study the problem with any depth. However, both books are needed and tog e the r they fill a gap in the educator's shelf.'

The Western New York Nuclear Research Center, Inc. will begin construction on its new $300,000 pulse-type reactor, Aprill7, The reactor is a joint undQrtaking of the Center and AMF Atomics, a d i·Jv i s ion of American Machine and Foundry Company. The contract for fabrication has been awarded to AMF, Port Hope, Canada, while the design and building of other me c h ani c a l and electronic equipment will be provided by AMF Atomics, Greenwich, Connecticut. vrant ro 8sta/Jiislt Universitv Art eenter I The Rockefeller Foundation has gran t"e d the University of Buffalo Foundation, Inc. $200,000 to establish a Center of the performing and creative · arts at the· University. . The announcement was made joint 1y by Lukas Foss, Director of the... Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and Allen Sapp, Chairman of the Music Department. The new Center, which will feature 20 yearly grants to "creative associates," will be directed· by Mr. Foss and Mr. Sapp, in close cooperation with the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. It is expected \hat the Center will begin operation In the iall under the two-year grant. The following statement .was made by Mr. ·Sapp in accepting the grant: "This generous grant will strengthen immeasurably a strong regional musical scene in Buffalo. It will demonstrate that Gallery, Philharmonic Society, and University can and do . work toward common objectives. Young musicians whom we shall assemble within the Center will have an opportunity to explore f r e ·e 1y the new musical resources of our time and retain an active contact with the best music of the past.. Stimulated by the total ·range of the University scene, the twenty Creative Associates will be a community of artists working in series and in parallel -unique in American university and . metropolitan life. Western New York Nuclear Reaeorch Center The new core is expected to operate at double the present powr r level. · "Despite the Reactor's greater increase in power, it will ·be just as safe as the present ins t a 11 at ion," says James C. Evans, General Manager of the Center, "One of the most significant aspects of the Center will be its bringing _together performers, scholars, and composers. Released from dally pressures and encouraged to de v e 1o p their own strengths, the Creative Associates will be a concrete expression of a new order of University support for the arts." Mr. Evans added that the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission has been running tests on uranium dioxide fuel within its SPERT (Special Power Excursion Reactor Test) pro j e c t to varify the safeness .of the "new core. "The project was born out of a conviction that the young professional musician in general, and the performer in particular, needs musical guidance arid financial help at the critical moment when he is just out of ·school, lest he lose himself in a commercia), situation," Mr. Foss said. All engineering will be intern a 1 so that no changes will be visible in the Center's whitewalled exterior, Completion of the project is expected to take about two months. In addition to its usefulness to industry, the pulsed reactor will be of value in producing shortlived isotopes. for medic a 1, and basic physics research, in s t u d y i n g the transient effects of radiation on electronic and similar equipment as well as biological specimens, and in evaluating damage caused by nuclear weapons. It also will be useful in developing components and materials for the nation's nuclear rocket program. A keen apprentice conductor who is anxious to study new music will be s o u g h t to act as a "catalytic agent" in the Center's activities. He will be given ·an opportunity to conduct the Buffalo Philharmonic as well as various chamber groups. The Center Will operate along lines similar to those of the Society of Fellows, or of the Niemann Foundation, both of Harvard. As creative a88ooiates of the state University at Buffalo, they would be essentially unrestricted in pursuing educational and artistic objectives. . The major costs of the conversion will be shared by the American Machine and Foundry Company and the Atomic Energy Commission. 3 �f J ~ ·.·. ,) 0 F • 0 U i\ ~ exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum, Smithsonian Institute, "Drawin~s US A," St. Paul Biennia 1 (Minnesota).

The author contends that the so-called non-working time has been so filled with super market shopping, commuting, do-it-yourself home repair, etc., that there is, in reality, almost no free time at all.

Colleague LIB-UA044 Description An account of the resource By the early 1950s, the University of Buffalo had expanded from a small group of autonomous schools into a modern university with 14 divisions and a central campus. No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

University Researcher to Test Do Vine i '·s Theory - A theory of heart d velopm nt, first •uggested by leonardo Do Vinci nearly five centuries ago, will be tested by a Univ nity of Buffalo scientist, working under a new grant from The National Foundaion-Moreh of Dim s. The one-year oward of $1 0, 113 was jointly announced by Or. Raymond Ewell, Vice-chancellor for Research, and 8osil O'Connor, president of The Notional Foundation. The study, to be conducted by Or. Oscar C. Jaffee, Assistant Professor of Biology, wi II evaluate th ext t o which the presence or abs nee of a normal bloodstream influences proper development of the heart in a young mbryo. The Notional Foundation-March of Dimes is supporting this study as port of its notion-wide campaign against birth d fee s. "leonardo Do Vinci was the Fint to ascribe importance to the blood stream as o foetor in thedevelopm of the heart," Or. Jaffee explained. "However, since hi5 time there has been much disagreement on this point, and until now there ho:s not b en sufficient evidence to fully bock up his theory. " At the some time, Or. Jaffee pions to begin pi lot studies to leom if experiments of this sort con also be carried out on the chick embryo heort which, like the human heart, has o more complex structure with four chambers. 3 �Program S ek s to lmprov Teacher Oual ity A coop rotiv r , arch pr rom aimed a t improvin th qvolity of r och~r and administrator educati on in the Unit Sto tt'1 was lounchcod this foil by th Schools of Educa t ion ot he Univ rtity o f Bu ffalo, Cornf'll Univ nity, Th Univenity of Roch st rand Syroc Univeni y .

Colleague LIB-UA044 Description An account of the resource By the early 1950s, the University of Buffalo had expanded from a small group of autonomous schools into a modern university with 14 divisions and a central campus. No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

In 191 the program s broadened by the establuhment of Tl (Teacher Insurance and Annuaty Anociation} so that teachers and their employer both could con ibute to a pen ion annui plan. The money was conservatively inted in bond and mortgagn, and the program wor ed out well. It wa espeaally tisfactory during the depres ion of the 30's when prices ere down and a retired teacher's fixed monthly pen jon went a long way. But after World War II hen prices began to r, the retired teachers saw the purchasing power of their retirement pay going steadily • dO'Vn. So the ofticen of TIAA cast about for a upplement1ry plan that would counteract the for of inflation. By 1951 they had worked up a companion program known as CREF (College Retirement Equities Fund). It orks this Up to 50% of the annual contribution toward a pension may be m ed in CREF, which re· in ts the money 10 common stocks. For each pa ment into CR F, the teacher i credited with o many unatJ, each unit being a tiny crosssection 'lice of all the common toe m CREFs portfolio. Then, upon the teacher's retirement. the accumulated uni ( mn lated currently into dolbt:s) are paid back on a monthly basis for life. The result so far have been exctllent. Managers of CREF have invested consistently in tos> quality tocb, and CREF's annuity unib, which started out with a value of $10 each, now have a value of over $22. Look at the chart on the next page to see how this increase in valuation has affected the income of those who have divided their money eqoa.Dy between TIM and CREF. The teacher who bought an annuity of .$100 a month in TIM and $100 a month in CREF, retiring in 1952, would now be setting a monthly income �r pr1n Tb A• I I ip ln • f Vol d l.th p l • 7-9. �ttt.EPHORE IilRECl'ORY CHAl«JES Following ie list of telephone director, changes which have occurred a result of recent moves.
