DON'T WORRY, WE'LL THINK OF A HEADING

A bloodshot eye framed in tousled hair peered around the window frame. Has he forgotten? After these years of faithfulness has he, too, decided to sit by and be satisfied with being on the receiving end only? The postman walked up the driveway shuffling out a sheaf of letters which were dumped into the mailbox with a familiar clank. There was a fat one! Maybe? Oh! God, please! The eye hurriedly swept the pile of junk mail with a sanguine stare. There it is! Good old ISU stationery. Good old Walt. Another issue of ASA NEWS is out of a sparsely settled skull and into the third-class mailbag!


CONVENTION


Excerpts from advance literature:



Royal Rock Day Camp program for children has more downright appeal than the ASA program! (For children, that is.)


Olympic pool for Olympic swimmers

Harry Leith has assembled an excellent program based on worthy papers presented by authors worth listening to. The presence of the Inter-Varsity Christian Faculty Fellowship men will insure that the discussions will have some bearing on Christian witnessing on the university campus. Wayne Frair has done another excellent job in providing proper arrangements at The King's College. He writes, "..interest is running high at this end, for I have a host of letters asking all sorts of questions.." The advance registration is the highest of any ASA convention. INSIDE TIP: the reports on the Oxford International Conference of Science and Faith alone will be worth the trip (see NEWS, Vol. 6, No. 4, 23 Sept. 64, p. 5 et seq). Ten of the thirty-six attending the conference are ASA members.


We'll see you at Briarcliff Manor. If you can't find it, just remember it's near Sing Sing.
SERMONS FROM SCIENCE

While visiting the New York World's Fair be sure to go to the Sermons From Science Pavilion. George E. Speake and Jim Moon report that while the attendance at the fair is down some 30% from last year, the SFS Pavilion crowd is higher than last year. Also, more people into the counseling room and more decisions for Christ. Instead of the 12 shows a day there are 19 per day this year. Bring your foreign friends; films shown in English and five other languages. These boys are ploughing a furrow in untouched soil.

BOUTWELL HONORED

Dr. Joseph H. Boutwell, Associate Professor of Chemistry at Temple University School of Medicine, has been awarded the John Gunther Reinhold Award of the Philadelphia Section of the American Association of Clinical Chemists. The award was made on 25 May 1965 at the Barclay Hotel in Philadelphia. The citation states: "To recognize and honor the accomplishments of Joseph H. Boutwell, Jr., in the field of clinical chemistry, his friendly aid to professional associates, his outstanding efforts on behalf of professional associates, his outstanding efforts on behalf of professional societies, his contribution to the improvement of standards of performance, his encouragement of continued education of clinical chemists and the development of better understanding of clinical chemistry among associated professional and lay groups."

Dr. Boutwell directs the Clinical Chemistry Laboratories for Temple University Hospital and has pioneered courses for persons already in the field. He has been asssociated with Temple University since 1949. He is a graduate of Wheaton College, 1939, Northwestern University, M. S. in Biochemistry, 1941, PhD., Biochemistry, 1947; Bachelor in Medicine, 1949, and M, D., after internship, 1951. ASA salutes you, Dr. Boutwell!



METROPOLITAN NEW YORK

On Saturday afternoon, 8 May 1965, the Metropolitan New York section of the ASA met at Northeastern Collegiate Bible Institute, Essex Falls, New Jersey. A panel on the implications of birth control techniques was moderated by Howard W. Mattson. Harry Lubansky of the Ortho Pharmaceutical Company spoke on "Oral Anti-Fertility Drugs: Past, Present and Future." Dr. Peter G. Berkout and Dr. Chris Reilly spoke on "Ethical, Social Implications and Medical Comments." A lively discussion ensued between the panelists and those attending the meeting.

After a roast beef dinner, Rev. William F. Schafer, Jr., Minister of the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, Lindenwald, New Jersey, spoke on the topic, "Psychotherapy and Christianity: Allies and Rivals." As both psychotherapy and the Christianity deal with the quandries and potential of human beings, they must encounter and hopefully share a dialogue with each other. The approach of psychotherapy was shown to be in substantial agreement with the Biblical view of man. Yet there are areas of disagreement, for both are based on different philosophical suppositions or world views.

The New York group seems to be able to get away with a business meeting as the opening event of the afternoon. They are laying plans for a joint fall meeting with the Christian Medical Society, Dr. Chris Reilly stating that CMS has some 70 local members with about 5,000 nationwide. The visiting lecturer committee under Max R. Ste Harry Lubansky were elected to the executive council. John D. Haynes, chairman of the program committee, was responsible for the program of the day and Walter Jim Neidhardt, Secretary, is to be credited with challenging the rest of the world by communicating information on this meeting.

HELP WANTED

Gordon College is seeking a person to teach mathematics beginning in the fall of 1966. They want a person with a Ph.D. degree, but will consider one actively pursuing the doctorate. Anyone interested should communicate with the Dean of the College or with Wendell J. Caley, Jr., Chairman, Math-Physics Department, Gordon College, 255 Grapevine Road, Wenham, Massachusetts.

Geneva College is continuing in need of personnel in nearly all the areas of interest to the ASA. A particular need of the moment involves someone in the area of counseling. Contact Dr. Roy M. Adams, Chairman, Chemistry Department, Geneva College, Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.

There is an immediate opening for a Food Technologist or Bacteriologist with the National Canners Association. This is Peter L. Tan's department who hopes that an ASA member might become interested. Please write to: Mr. C. B. Denny, Head, Bacteriology Department, National Canners Association, 1133 20th St. N. W., Washington D. C. 20036.

SIEMENS LEAVES MOODY INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE

But for a good reason - the pursuit of a Ph.D. degree. He will be Assistant Professor in Humanities and Director of the Humanities General Education Program at Upland College while completing work on his Ph.D., in philosophy, at nearby Claremont College. Upland College is sponsored by the Brethren in Christ. David F. Siemens is chairman of the Executive Committee of the Southern California section of the ASA.

The April 1965 issue of The Mathematics Teacher carried an article, "The Mathematics of the Honeycomb" written by Dave as an outgrowth of the work associated with filming "City of the Bees." He also broke into print by entering into the discussion on Galileo in a letter to the editor appearing in SCIENCE, VOL. 147, 1 January 1965, pp. 8-9. He took exception to considering White's, "A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom" an accurate source book.

FEDERATION FILL-IN

In the 10 April 1965 ASA NEWS an announcement was made of the Federation Christian Fellowship get-together at the Atlantic City meeting of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. Well, they really got together. This was the second year their meeting was listed on the official program. Perhaps it was because the meetings continued through a weekend and the FCF met on a Sunday night, but about 40 people showed up, only 10 of them being ASA members. These included:





The FCF now has 174 on their mailing list and this would seem to be an excellent source of new ASA members. In fact Walt Hearn sent the list of those attending in to the headquarters office for appropriate follow-up. Kurt Weiss presided at the meeting and Bob Herrmann spoke briefly on what being a Christian means to him as a biochemist. Walt would remind all who will be attending the Federation meetings in Atlantic City next April to remember to consult their programs for time and place of the next FCF meeting.

OLSON USES FILMS FOR CAMPUS OUTREACH

Dr. Kenneth V. Olson, Associate Professor of Science Education, Colorado State College, and a group of faculty associates are working with Campus Crusade for Christ in sponsoring a series of Moody science films on nine consecutive Thursday evenings in the new science building on the campus. A different faculty member will lead a discussion each evening on the relation of science to Christianity. Film booklets will be distributed at each showing for added reinforcement and the order of the films has been carefully arranged for natural development of the various facets of the gospel message. Dr. Olson has also sent in a list of nine prospective ASA members who will be supplied with information on the ASA, sample copies of the Journal, etc.

ADAMS EDITS BOOK

Dr. Roy M. Adams, Chairman of the Chemistry Department, Geneva College, is the editor of the book, Boron, Metallo-Boron Compounds and Boranes, published by John Wiley and Sons. It is the first of two volumes intended to cover fairly completely the current status of boron chemistry. Dr, Adams, or more properly, Geneva College, has received a three-year grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research for study of boron hydride chemistry. Breaking away from boron briefly, he also has expressed gratitude for ASA material as he prepared for speaking to the Beaver Valley Evangelical Fellowship, an area group of evangelical laymen and ministers, on "A Scientist's View of Creation."

IN QUEST OF EXCELLENCE

Dr. Wallace A. Erickson is an organic chemist and President of Wallace A. Erickson & Co. operating in that field. He also heads The Erickson Foundation which is currently sponsoring a very interesting program for the development of Christian leadership. The objective of this program is to encourage the pursuit of excellence in Christian leadership by encouraging young Christians to aspire to excellence, to assist them in the development of a Christian view of the contemporary world, to enable them more effectively to articulate their faith and its contemporary relevance and to aid them in reaching positions of leadership in the fields for which their talents best equip them. The immediate program calls for the recruitment of 10 outstanding young Christians during this summer, from senior year of high school to the final year of graduate school. Those selected will register for a five-week summer leadership seminar program sponsored by the foundation. The first four weeks will be geared to a study of theology at the Institute of Christian Studies in Colorado Springs under such leading Christian thinkers as Dr. Emile Cailliet, Dr. Paul K. Jewett and Dr. Bernard L. Ramm. Guidance will be offered trainees on a continuing basis through the years. Those interested in participating in this program should write to Mr. Alec Mackenzie, Vice President, The Erickson Foundation, 842 North Wells Street, Chicago, Illinois 60610.

ARCHES OF SCIENCE

The Pacific Science Center Foundation of Seattle has created The Arches of Science Award to recognize outstanding contributions by individuals to understanding in America of the meaning of science by contemporary man. The Jury may select individuals from any profession or walk of life and will look to sustained accomplishment and not alone to a single work or achievement. It will consider contributions that embrace the ends and values as well as the substance of scientific work. It will give weight to contributions by action as well as by word, by example as well as by precept, The individual to be honored may have promoted invention in the formal modes of teaching or innovated new channels of communication between the community of science and the community-at-large.

A cash sum of $25,000 and a gold medal go to the one selected. It is possible that ASA members might want to consider the nomination of someone for this honor. To do so, the name, address and affiliation of the person to be nominated should be sent to the Arches of Science Award, Pacific Science Center Foundation, 200 2nd Avenue North, Seattle, Washington 98109, with a 2 or 3 page statement summarizing the accomplishments of the nominee and the reasons he is being nominated. Nominations close 15 June. The 1965 presentation will be made in Seattle on 21 October 1965.

 PSYCHOLOGY AT WESTMONT

The Psychology Department of Westmont College, Santa Barbara, California, has received a grant of $3,100 from the National Science Foundation under the Undergraduate Instructional Scientific Equipment Program. This has been augmented by a Senior Class gift of $2,000 which will further help in the purchase of equipment for introductory courses in psychology and statistics. The work in this department is carried on by Dr. C. Eug ne Walker and Michael Mecherikoff.

HOW MUCH DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE ASA?

Does your interest in the ASA stop with scanning the Journal or NEWS? Or attending an occasional sectional meeting or convention? Do you like the Christian fellowship of fellow scientists only, or is there a deeper appreciation of the big job that is being done in developing a Christian philosophy of science and of purifying the views of the Christian community in regard to science and of influencing young Christians entering fields of science? Are these things worth while? It would seem that the significant growth and maturing that has taken place over the past 24 years and the present membership of more than 1400 would indicate favorable answers to the above questions. But if 1400 dedicated members cannot easily sustain an annual budget of $15,000, something is really wrong.

The Executive Council has been forced to resort to a bank loan of $1500 (of which $1300 still remains) in order to carry on the bare minimum level of program. Numerous appeals have been made for contributions over and above dues, but only about $2100 was received during the past year and this from a tiny handful.

If the average annual income of our 1400 members were only $7000 this would mean that the tithe would amount to $1 million. A portion of this tithe should go to the ASA as a worthy missionary effort in an age saturated by science. Let's send our contributions in to ' Harold Hartzler right now so that this part ,of the Lord's vineyard might flourish and bear much spiritual fruit. Address: 325 Brett Building, Mankato, Minnesota.

YAMOUCHI AWARDED GRANT

Dr. Edwin Yamouchi, Assistant Professor of History at Rutgers, New Brunswick, N. J., has been awarded a $1000 summer fellowship for research in magical texts of the ancient Near East. He has been very busy in his chosen field. An article, "Tammuz and the Bible", will appear in a forthcoming issue of The Journal of Biblical Literature. He and his wife have enjoyed their first year at Rutgers and have organized a graduate Christian Fellowship with other interested persons. They meet once per month and average about 24 in attendance. In addition to association with IVCF, he has tried, with Dr. Earl Ellis to reactivate a faculty fellowship. What was lacking in attendance was made up for in fruitfulness of the discussions. Lectures on the Dead Sea Scrolls have opened many opportunities for speaking to Jewish organizations and topics such as "Origins of Gnosticism" and "Greco-Semitic Contacts Before Alexander the Great" have been presented to New Brunswick Theological Seminary, Evangelical Theological Society, etc.

VAN DER ZIEL SPECIAL

A Fellow of the ASA, Dr. Aldert van der Ziel, has written two books of interest to ASA members and friends. "The Natural Sciences and the Christian Message" shows that the natural sciences and the Christian message are neither in harmony nor in conflict but are radically different. "Genesis and Scientific Inquiry" compares the Biblical statements in Genesis 1-12 about creation with what is held to be true in science. The author shows how a fresh approach to Old Testament exegesis has tended to overcome some earlier theological ideas connected with obsolete scientific ideas.

There has been a considerable amount of discussion of and some disagreement with Dr. van der Ziel's books within the ASA. This is a good healthy condition which helps in formulating one's own views. The publisher is making a special offer to ASA members: each of the above titles, normally selling for $4.50 may be obtained for $3.50 each by specifying that you belong to the ASA. (Then send the $1.00 you save to Headquarters!). T. S. Denison and Co. Inc., 321 Fifth Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55415.

John E. Bennett, medical missionary, and family have flown back to their field in South Africa. Right at the moment they are involved in intensive study of the Zulu language near Johannesburg prior to their return to Mosvold Mission Hospital, Ingwavuma, Natal, Republic of South Africa.

David F. Busby, psychiatrist, is involved in the planning of the Fall Retreat of the Christian Association for Psychological Studies to be held in Wisconsin. The dates: 10-11 September 1965.

Robert F. DeHaan is the new chairman of the Department of Education at Hope College, Holland, Michigan. He was previously chairman of the Psychology Department.

Delbert N. Eggenberger has an excellent article on "Lasers" in the Argonne National Laboratory ReviewE, Vol. 2, No. 2 (April 1965). Delbert is in the Electronics Division of ANL and the article is based on a seminar talk he gave reviewing the field.

Ronald M. Enroth is writing his dissertation and hopes to have all his requirements for the Ph.D. completed by this fall but admits that Ph.D. committees are notorious at prolonging this last painful phase of the "graduate grind." The dissertation research, in the field of sociology, has been aided by a grant from the Health Information Foundation of Chicago. Topic: "Patterns of Response to Rural Medical Practice and Rural Life in Kentucky: Implications for the Distribution of Physicians." He will be going West to accept a teaching position in the Sociology Department at Westmont College, Santa Barbara, California.

Robert B. Fischer draws upon his considerable experience in the organization of a school of science (California State College at Palos Verdes) to comment upon the writings of others on the subject in a letter to the editor of SCIENCE; I January 1965, page 9 (Vol. 147).

Virgil H. Freed, Professor of Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, Oregon State University, was a co-author on three papers read before the Northwest Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society held in Corvallis, Oregon, 14-15 June 1965.

Wayne Frair, Associate Professor of Biology, The King's College, states, "I like that letter written by S. Hugh Paine and felt very much in agreement with it. I thought a lot about the situation of Jerry Albert and was intending to write, but never did. Recently I saw a dissertation of a doctoral candidate at MIT who had a testimony in his acknowledgements. I had wanted to do something of the sort in my Masters thesis, but my advisor was opposed to it on what I felt were very reasonable grounds." Now all we have to do is to find out what these "very reasonable grounds" are!

Lars I. Granberg of Hope College is an associate editor of a "Dictionary of Practical Theology" to be published by Baker Book House in 1966. Dr. Granberg is now Acting Vice-President of Hope College, having been director of the Counseling Center at that school.

Stuart Harverson, a missionary to Viet Nam, was riding in a plane which was hit by Communist fire but landed safely. In March he baptized 120 believers, all of more than two years' standing, in the stream near Ha-Bec. It was rather shallow - the Communists hold the deeper water further downstream!

Russell H. Heddendorf, now in the Sociology Department of Geneva College, is making a great contribution to campus intellectual and Spiritual life, according to colleague E2LIdams.

Robert H. Johnson) Engineer with Boeing Aircraft in New Orleans, was in Los Angeles recently in the capacity of contract supervisor. He is working on a special camera that operates inside the liquid oxygen tanks of rockets to study the functioning of critical devices, looking around corners by the assistance of bundles of quartz fibers.

Willis M. Kaufman appreciated the squib in ASA NEWS about his looking for a job on his return to the states, but now he will not be returning until July-August, 1966. There's just no one to replace him in teaching science at Qua Iboe Secondary School, Etinan via Uyo, Eastern Nigeria. He is the "Senior Science Master" with oversight of the whole science department in a school of 310 boys and 60 girls, all boarding students.

David C. Lindberg has been awarded the Ph.D. from the Department of History and Philosophy of,Science, Indiana University. His dissertation was an edition and translation of a 13th-century optical work. Dr. Lindberg has accepted an appointment as Assistant Professor of History at the University of Michigan.

Dr. Melvin J. Loewen, an ASA member, recently visited the national office. Dr. Loewen has recently been elected President of the Universite Libre du Congo. He and his family are in the States awaiting the time when they will be able to return to the Congo. They were among those who were taken captive by the rebels last fall but whose lives were spared.

Dr. Loewen stated that the Congo now has three universities. One is a Catholic university, the second a state university and the third a Protestant university, of which he is President. All three of these universities are on the national budget and are members of what is called the Inter-University Commission. The university of which Dr. Loewen is President, is looking for staff members in all areas for September 1966. Any ASA member interested, or if you know someone else who would be interested, should contact Dr. Loewen, Box 123, Leopoldville, Congo. At present the staff comes from the following countries: Congolese, Germany, Belgium, United States, Canada, Great Britain, Scandanavia, and France. This year they have only a Freshman and Sophomore class but are looking to a four year college is two more years.

Dr. Loewen stated that the political situation is very encouraging. The economic situation is better and missionaries are now most welcome to the Congo. In order to teach at the university one must be able to speak the French language so this is an invitation for ASA members to start brushing up on their French.

Edmund W. Lowe, President, Edwal Scientific Products Corp. of Chicago, has compiled his many experiences in business to show how the Lord has had a very definite hand in his business affairs through the years. "I believe that to any Christian who obeys the Lord's commands, the Lord gives guidance and help in every detail, be it in the spiritual or material realm", says Dr. Lowe. Those wanting copies should write to him, 11042 South Emerald Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.

E. Mansell Pattison, formerly Research Psychologist at the National Institute of Health, now serves as Instructor in Psychiatry at the University of Washington Medical School in Seattle. He rates as the most prolific author among CAPS members. "On The Failure to Forgive or Be Forgiven" appeared in the American Journal of Psychotherapy, Volume XIX, No. I (Jan. 1965); "Functions of the Clergy in Community Mental Health Centers" appeared in Pastoral Psychology, May, 1965. Dr. Pattison was one of three panelists on "Psychotherapy and Spiritual Values" published in Christianity Today, July 2, 1965.

Bernard Ramm, Honorary Fellow of ASA, sends a postcard from Oxford, England, depicting the beautiful old coach Inn in which they are staying. Their neighbors are the Richard Bube's of Stanford University and the Zandrino's of Argentina. These and others are attending the International Conference on Science and Christianity sponsored by the Research Scientists' Christian Fellowship. Alta Ramm writes that she "is not sure whether they are taking the world apart or putting it together" but it is a very enjoyable experience.

Robert L. Rasera received the Ph.D. Degree in nuclear structure physics at Purdue University in January, 1965. His dissertation was on "Transverse Polarization of K-Conversion Electrons Following Beta Decay of Au198." Dr. Rasera is now doing postdoctoral work in the Department of Physics at Purdue.

Jack S. Swenson, of the Chemistry Department of Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa, has received a $13,740 research grant for Fundamental Research in the Petroleum field at the undergraduate level. The grant was made by the Petroleum Research Fund.

Douglas H. Taylor, also a medical missionary at Mosvold Hospital in Natal, Republic of South Africa, presents some remarkable statistics for the hospital. It is a 120bed hospital, yet they have had average of 140 beds continuously occupied for the past year!

Ian J. Tinsley, of Oregon State University, was also involved in the program of the ACS Northwest Regional Meeting held on the campus. His paper was entitled, "Chromatographic Separation of the Aldehydes Formed By Reductive Ozonolysis of Unsaturated Fatty Acid Methyl Esters."
