 THE AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC AFFILIATION

VOLUME 15 NUMBER 1               February 1973



OFF TO A GOOD START...

Officers of the American Scientific Affiliation for 1973 are John A. McIntyre (Texas A&14 University), president; Gary R. Collins (Trinity Evangelical Divinity School), vice-president; and Claude E. Stipe (Marquette University), secretary-treasurer. Other members of the Executive Council are David L. Willis (Oregon State University), and J. W. Haas, Jr. (Gordon College).

 We have a new executive secretary in William D. Sisterson. Editor of the Journal remains Richard H. Bube, and of ASA News, Walter R. Hearn. For the 1973 annual meeting, to be held August 20-23 at Geneva College, Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, the local arrangements chairman is George Jennings of Geneva College. Program chairman is Richard T. Wright, Department of Biology, Gordon College, Wenham, Massachusetts 01984. "Creation, Evolution, and Molecular Biology" has been proposed as a theme for the 1973 meeting. (Incidentally, John Montgomery's summary of the 1972 meeting appeared on p. 52 of Christianity Today for Sept. 29, 1972, under the title "How Scientific Is Science?")

...OR ARE WE?

With the mails all snarled up, our copy of the December ASA News didn't arrive until late in January. Some people may never have received their December Journal and some of those who did, report that their copy was incorrectly bound. Write to the national office in Elgin to request a correctly-bound copy if this happened to you, or if your copy was lost in the mails.

A BARGAIN FOR ASA MEMBERS

The quarterly Christian Scholar's Review is available to ASA members at a reduced rate of $4 per year if prepaid. The regular rate is $6. Members who wish to subscribe at the reduced rate should send their name and address with the $4 to the ASA national office,^,indicating clearly that it's for the Review.

WHERE TO FIND FELLOWSHIP AT THE FEDERATION

We announced last issue that the Federation Christian Fellowship will meet in conjunction with the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology this spring. But Kurt Weiss of the U. of Oklahoma College of Medicine, who made the arrangements, forgot to tell us where the get-together will take place. It will be in the County Cork Manor Room of the Shelburne Hotel on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, at 8 p.m., Thursday, April 19. Lewis P. Bird of the Christian Medical Society will speak and coffee will be served. No reservations or tickets are necessary.

...... AND AT THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY IN DALLAS

Chi-Hang Lee would like to get together with other ASA members at the upcoming meeting of the ACS in Dallas on April 8-13. He has no scheduled meeting place yet but if you are interested, please let him know your plans and he will set something up. His address is: Dr. Chi-Hang Lee, 65 West Burda Place, Spring Valley, New York 10927.

PHYSICIST RECEIVES GUGGENHEIM AWARD

Robert B. Griffiths, professor of physics at Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, has been awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship for 1973. He will spend the academic year as a visiting professor at Cornell University, continuing his research on statistical mechanics in the Department of Chemistry there. In the fall of 1973 he will work on similar problems at the University of Cologne and the Institute for Solid-State Research at Julich, Germany. He has a leave from Carnegie-Mellon From September.1972 through December 1973.

Bob Griffiths, born in India, received an A.B. from Princeton and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford. He joined C.M.U. as .assistant professor of physics in 1964, was promoted to associate-professor in 1967 ' and to full professor in 1969. He was -selected as an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow in 1966, receiving a two-year unrestricted grant for fundamental research.

Is Bob the first ASA member to receive a Guggenheim Fellowship? The competition is exceedingly keen. For instance, in 1971 the Foundation selected only 350 Fellows from 2,366 applicants, with a total award of $3,742,500. We congratulate Bob and rejoice with him in the new opportunities the Guggenheim will make possible.

REPORT FROM WASHINGTON

According to reports in Science the AAAS meetings in Washington, D. C. were a lot calmer,this year. According to Glenn I. Kirkland of the Applied Physics Lab at Johns Hopkins,the ASA in the Washington-Baltimore area has been becalmed too long. He and Roger Voskuyl sent invitations to more than 80 members in the area to the ASA,breakfast held in conjunction with the AAAS meetings. About 30 members and friends responded, Glenn reports. The speaker was retiring ASA president Donald Boardman of Wheaton College.

Boardman's topic, "Creation is not a Scientific Theory," was timely in view of the news story that had appeared in the November 17 issue of Science. That account of the California creationist-evolutionist confrontation was reprinted almost in its entirety in the Washington Star-News on November 26, including a brief mention of the American Scientific Affiliation (see ASA News, Dec. 1972, p. 5). A lively and enlightening discussion followed Don's presentation.

NEWS OF THE CALIFORNIA TEXTBOOK CONTROVERSY

We're not sure we'd understand what goes on in the California State Board of Education even if we were on the Board (ASA News, Dec. 1972, pp.5-6). A lot of "behind the scenes" activity hardly shows up even "between the lines" of news releases. Issues important to 11recent creationists" seem to pass or fail by one vote, depending on which members happen to be present and voting at the regular monthly meetings. At the December meeting there was some hassle over recommendations to the Board by the Curriculum Development Commission (of which Vernon Gross is a member). But the Consultant Committee to the State Board for State Adopted Science Instructional Materials was given the charge that, "on the subject of discussing origins in the science textbooks, the following editing be done prior to execution of a contract (with a publisher): (1) That dogmatism be changed to conditional statements where speculation is offered as explanation for origins. (2) That science emphasize 'how' and not .'ultimate cause' for origins."

Appointed to the Consultant Committee were two past presidents of the American Scientific Affiliation. Robert E. Fischer, dean of science at California State College at Dominguez Hills, was president of ASA in 1966 and 1967. Richard H. Bube, professor of materials science and electrical engineering at Stanford University, was ASA president in 1968 and is currently editor of the Journal of ASA. Other members of the committee include David Hubbard, president of Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena; John Ford, San Diego physician; and Clarence L. Hall, Associate Superintendent of Public Instruction. Hubbard and Ford are members of the California Board of Education.

NON-RANDOM COLLISIONS

JASA Editor Dick Bube seems to make contact with other ASA members like a molecule full of K.E. This fall he reverberated off George Blount a couple of times, his former student now on the faculty of Westmont College in Santa Barbara: in SePtember Dick Spoke to the Westmont general science class on science and Christian faith and in November spoke at chapel on "Science, Revealer of Reality." In between he -bounced out to Dordt College in Iowa at the invitation of Russell Maatman and MarvinDeYoung. He spoke at a banquet of the Society of Physics Students at Morningside
College in Sioux City on "Is Science Possible"--A Rational Faith" and the next morn
ing to the same group on "Photoconductivity in Solids."

On the rebound to the west coast in December, Dick presented the keynote address, "Future Hope: Machines or Men?" to the Western Area Convention of the National Science Teachers Association at San Diego. Jerry Albert and Craig Allen got about 15 ASA members together for lunch and discussion at Me-sa College, where Fred Jappe was host. Back at the Convention, an afternoon "Rap with Bube" session drew 50 people, of whom 33 signed up for further ASA information. Jerry and Craig are enthusiastic about what may develop from this non-random collision between "kinetically" and "Potentially" energetic ASA members. A program committee is already planning a May 19 meeting of the "Southern California Local section" on the U.C. San Diego campus. That's what a kineticist would call a favorable collision--one that produces the desired reaction.

STEWARDSHIP OF SCIENCE BOOKS, CONTINUED

In the December 1972 ASA News (p. 6), Minnesota Bible College of Rochester asked to be added to our list '~f -recipients for science books and journals recycled by ASA members. Here are two more responses:

From Alice Auerbacher, Assistant Librarian, Hong Kong Baptist College, 224, Waterloo Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong: "We would be very much interested in being on the list for your "Stewardship of Science Books" project QSA News, Oct. 1972, p. 8). We would like to receive a list for approval before shipping the books as we would be mainly interested in surplus copies of textbooks and not so much in older editions. We would be willing to pay the postage after approving the books."

From David J. Netz, Librarian, Mackinac College, Mackinac Island, Michigan 49757: "Dr. Kenneth B. Aring of our Physics Department recently sent me part of your newsletter dealing with the recycling of science books among Christian colleges. As a new Christian college, we would certainly be interested in participating in such a program as we continue building our library in basic books as well as current titles The only stipulation is that we would prefer to have a list of titles to check against our holdings. Thank you for encouraging this worthy project."

HOW TO RECYCLE SOMETHING. No. 3

Contributions for this series continue to arrive in ingeniously recycled envelopes! Rejoicing in the creativity and ecological sensitivity of ASA members, we will return to the conservation of paper materials next time. Meanwhile, Jerry Albert , San Diego biochemist, reminds us not to despise even "the least of God's creatures

Ashes. "Instead of throwing ashes in the trash, I use them for a snail barrier along the base of our backyard bank, which harbors snails in the ice plant. The ashes come from charcoal burned in barbecues in our Hibachi or from wood burned in our fireplace. As a bonus, the potash gradually leaches into the soil to provide a key plant nutrient, potassium. I realize that most ASA News readers aren't bothered by snails, as we Californians are; instead, most readers live in areas of much higher precipitation, which leaches out the alkaline minerals, leaving an acid soil. Potash returned in the form of ashes can help bring soil alkalinity back to plant thriving conditions."

Snails. "And now a use for those wretched creatures that devour garden plants during dewy nights in California: enzymes for laboratory hydrolyses. Several of our clinical lab tests for urinary constituents, such as steroids conjugated as glucuronides or sulfates, rely on a method of mild enzyme hydrolysis. The commercially available enzyme preparations are crude extracts of snails, costing $3 or more per ml, depending on the activity and source. Since 0.4 ml is used per sample, I decided to see if my garden snails could compete with the commercial variety in activity. I blended a batch of snails with a little acetate buffer, pH 5 (near the optimum pH for glucuronidase and sulfatase activity), filtered off shell fragments and other insoluble material, and tested the filtrate for activity. Although the activity of the filtrate was only about 1/6 that of the commercial preparation, it is still useful under the conditions of hydrolysis required by the tests. More assays will determine whether our San Diego snails have enough activity for all types of samples encountered in the various tests. Our extract is cruder than the commercial, but it has promise of being a use for otherwise useless snails everyone tries to kill off with poisons such as metaldebyde."

THE UNSKEPTICAL GENERATION

David Lindberg and a colleague have begun teaching a course at the U. of Wisconsin entitled "A History of Pseudo-Science and the Occult." Topics covered range from early European magic and witchcraft to modern psychic phenomena, Velikovsky, and the counter-culture. With respect to most aspects of the occult, the two professors are "hard-core skeptics"; they offer the course to raise questions of the social and psychological causes of belief, and to see the current flowering of the occult in proper historical perspective. Dave thinks that by the end of the course last spring there was a significant shift toward greater skepticism by many members of the class.

Dave sent ASA News the results of a questionnaire passed out on the first day of the course. Here are responses to a few of the questions:
                                          Uncertain or  Agree no opinion Disagree

People can communicate with each 74% 20% 5%
other by extra-sensory means
The stars and planets influence 18% 36% 46%
individual destinies
Witches are able to affect events or 23% 38% 39%
People by non-physical means
At least some UFOs have been space ships 42% 41% 17%
from other planets or solar systems

A copy of the course syllabus is available upon request from Prof. David Lindberg, Department of History of Science, South Hall, University of Wisconsin., Madison, Wis. 53706.

ANOTHRR rnvr1znvRPzy OF CONSEQUENCE TO CALIFORNIANS

Two of California's major agricultural products are artichokes and wine. Gourmet James Beard says a great controversy rages among his fellow food fanciers as to whether artichokes should ever be served at a meal accompanied by great wines. For many diners., artichokes spoil a wine's flavor, making it taste undesirably sweet. Back in 1934, geneticist Albert F. Blakeslee planned a dinner for 250 biologists at the AAAS meeting, serving globe artichokes as the salad course. In Blakeslee's account of the dinner (Science 81, 504 (1935)), 60 per cent of the diners reported that even the water tasted different after the first course--in most cases, sweet. Even B. F. Skinner mentioned this effect as an aside in Beyond Freeiom and Dignity.

Now an ASA member comes along to put the phenomenon on a scientific basis. Chi_Lee and colleague Richard Scarpellino of General Foods Corporation Technical Center in White Plains, New York, teamed up with Yale psychologist Linda M. Bartoshuk to run organoleptic tests of water and aqueous solutions, after first giving some subjects extracts of artichoke (Cynara scolymus). Sure enough, it works, for most subjects. Exposure of the tongue to the extract of one-fourth an artichoke heart can make water taste as sweet as 2 teaspoons of sucrose in 6 ounces of water. The authors think this may have implications in the search for alternatives to non-nutritive sweeteners, which are themselves the subject of great controversy.

Lee and Scarpellino fractionated their extracts and found two components that account for most of the sweetening effect, chlorogenic acid (3-caffeoylquinic acid) and cynarin (1,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid). Since 6 of 27 male subjects failed to observe any sweetening, there may be a genetic basis for sensitivity to the artichoke effect, as there is to taste reaction to PTC (phenylthiocarbamide). For details, see Science 178. 988-990 0 Dec. 1972). The story was also picked up by The New York Times for December 3 (p. 58).

CHIRALITY AND THE ORIGIN OF LIFE

John Leo Abernethy's paper, "The Concept of Dissymetric Worlds," J. Chem. Education 49 (7), 455-461 (July 1972), embodies a teaching concept he has worked out over the years. At California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, "Jack" Abernethy uses "mirror spellings" of words to drive home to organic chemistry students the significance of chirality (optical activity). Thus, a world enantiomoric to our present world is referred to as a "d1row" in which "snamuh" and other forms of "efil" are made up of "sdnuopmoc" that are mirror images of those in our own bodies.

Jack included in his paper a section on philosophical implications, stating that some scientists would include deity in their total picture of the origin of living matter. This modest assertion managed to survive the editing and refereeing process, although a referee had been critical of an earlier form of the paper. Jack says he is still getting reprint requests from all over, including one from Leningrad State University and one from the Organic Division of the Siberian Section of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R. We like a quotation Jack included from G. N. Lewis's The Anatomy of Science (New Haven: Yale Univ. Press, 1926): "The scientist does not speak of the last analysis but rather the next approximation."

In a paper on "The Natural Origin of Optically Active Compounds" on pp. 448-454 of the same issue of J. Chem. Ed., W. E. Elias of the U. of Victoria, B. C., is forced to conclude that no  explanation" of the origin of chitality in biomolecules "can be either accepted or rejected on the basis of evidence now available. It also appears unlikely that experiments can be designed to provide the desired definitive evidence, for chemical evolution cannot be duplicated." If we are restricted to natural processes, we have to be content with plausible explanations--but even this is a significant advance over the many experimental failures in the several decades following Pasteur's original observation in 1848.

THE CROSS AND THE FLAG

Wish we had time to review the paperback, The Cross and the Flag (Carol Stream, Illinois: Creation House, 1972), edited by--Rogert G. Clouse, Robert P. Linder, and Richard P. Pierard. Let's just say, "We like it." A dozen evangelical Christian scholars contributed chapters dealing with interrelationships between "evangelicalism" and "Americanism." We recognized at least two of them as ASA members. The chapter on "Christian Racism" is by Ozzie Edwards, assistant professor of sociology at the U. of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and a contributing editor of The Other Side. George Giacumakis, Jr., wrote the chapter on "Christian Attitudes Toward Israel." He is associate professor and chairman of the Department of History at California State College at Fullerton, a specialist in Mediterranean and Near Eastern studies, and active in California Republican politics.

OBITUARIES

Jerry G. Coble of Tullahoma, Tennessee, died suddenly on November 26, 1972. lie had been a member of ASA only since February 1972.

Brand, chairman, Department of Biology, Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois 60187.

LOCAL SECTION ACTIVITIES

METROPOLITAN NEW YORK

Having participated in the 1971 Northern New Jersey Christian Education Convention (ASA News, Dec. 1971, pp. 2-4), the section welcomed an opportunity for similar activity this fall. On November 9-10, at the invitation of Frank Roberts of Delaware County Christian School, they represented ASA at the Middle Atlantic Christian Schools Association Annual Convention at Buckhill Falls, Pennsylvania. Over 1,100  teachers and administrators from 80 or more elementary and high schools (mostly Christian) were registered. Each of two ASA workshop sessions drew about 70 people. Jim Neidhardt called his workshop "Faith --- the Unrecognized Partner of Science and Religion"; Roy Slingo's was "Encounter Between Christianity and Science."

Jim Neidhardt and Frank Roberts manned an ASA exhibit table, one of about 25 in the exhibit area. Significant conversations were held with at least 40 different people who stopped at the table. About 100 ASA brochures with a special insert, and some application forms and postcards for JASA subscriptions were picked up from the table. Eleven books and 30 copies of JASA were sold or ordered. Books on display (all from the ASA national office) were: Bube, Encounter Between Christianity and Science and The Human Quest; Buswell, Slavery, Segregation, and Scriptures; Collins, Our SocietY in Turmoil; Fischer, Science, Man, and Society; Tr-air, The Case for Creation; Maatman, The Bible,  Natural Science, and Evolution; Mixter, Evolution and Christian Thought Today; and Reno, Evolution on  Trial.

The section now owns a blue felt table cover with large ASA letters on the front and an attractive banner for such exhibits. Expenses were approximately $20 for display and typing. The $25 exhibit charge was paid by an anonymous donor.

Jim, president of the section, has submitted a report to the ASA Executive Council, urging that both the national office and other local sections establish contact with Christian School Associations over the country, particularly in conventions like this. Response at the workshops and the exhibit table indicated that ASA can be of great service to the Christian School community. A number of high school science teachers said that their better seniors read and make use of JASA articles. And little hostility toward ASA was shown by even those teachers committed to the recent creation position taken by the Creation Research Society.

NORTH CENTRAL

No details yet on the November Meeting. The scheduled topic was "The Decline and Fall of Materialism."

GULF SOUTHWEST

Those Texans are off to a rip-roarin' start. On November 20, at Rice University in Houston, ASA's newest local section held a public meeting that drew 60 people, many of them previously unfamiliar with the Affiliation. Jack McIntyre of Texas A&M University, president of the section, had noted that Dr. C. A. Coulson, Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University, would be an invited speaker at the 1972 Welch Foundation Conference in Houston. Coulson, well known among physicists and chemists for his work on quantum theory and wave mechanics, is also a lay preacher in the Methodist Church of England and author of several books on Christianity and science. Coulson accepted Jack's advance invitation to speak at the ASA meeting, choosing the topic, "What Is a Human Being?"

Ann Hunt of Houston's M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute, secretary of the new section, sent us a summary of Coulson's answer to that question. Noting some currently popular answers (man is a machine, a set of chemical reactions, a bundle of complexes, an animal, a computer, a segment in an evolutionary process, etc.), he pointed out that none of these lead to descriptions of men that characterize them as "human." He then suggested that two clues to the nature of "humanity" are to be found in the assertions that (1) this is God's world (the world carries some meaning; its course is not determined by the drift of chance or anarchy); and (2) man is to be a child of God (though change is occurring and man as we know him is probably a passing phenomenon on the total scene--yet the freedom and the responsibilities of membership in the family of God are always available to each man). Coulson closed with a description of several "eternal properties" of human beings not likely to be eliminated by evolution: love, joy in color or symmetry, forgiveness, hope, worship, awe, tragedy, and renewal.

A lively question-and-answer session followed the address. Coulson seemed genuinely shocked when someone in the audience asked if he thought Jesus Christ were only a man. Of the 48 who signed the register, about a third were Rice students.

Other officers of the Gulf Southwest section are Jim Burns of Texas A&M Maritime Academy (Galveston), vice-president; and Roy Corn7well, Texas A&M (College Station), treasurer. By-laws were adopted and officers elected by mail ballot to all members of ASA within these boundaries; from the Mexican border north to Bryan, Texas, and from San Antonio east to Lake Charles, Louisiana. These boundaries will allow for other sections to be centered on Dallas-Fort Worth and Baton Rouge-New Orleans in the future.

Harold Hartzler's visit to Houston last spring started things off with an informal get-together in the home of Carroll Karkalits. Further contacts were developed during a three-day visit in November by Bill Sisterson. Many contacts were provided by Jay Brenneman, IVCF staff member. A petition for recognition has been sent to the ASA Executive Council.

SAN FRANCISCO BAY

The section already has several exciting events on its calendar for 1973. On February 16 a public lecture on the U.C. Berkeley campus will feature Richard H. Bube. A March-April meeting on the California science textbook controversy is being considered, and the section is looking forward to a spring visit from the Executive Secretary.

New officers for the Bay Area section are Bob Anderson, president; Neil Elsheimer, program chairman; Roy Gritter, secretary-treasurer. other members of the board are Bob Miller, Bill Nesbitt, and Harold Winters.

OREGON

"Punishment or Rehabilitation?" was the subject of the January 31 meeting in the Memorial Union of Oregon State University in Corvallis. The two speakers were Loy Morris, associate professor of agricultural chemistry, and Hendrik Oorth . associate professor of electrical and electronics engineering, both at O.S.U. Roy grew up in England, has a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of London. He has been chairman of the Oregon section for several years and is faculty sponsor of IVCF at Oregon State. Hendrik has long been active in ASA at the national and local level. He and his wife Ruth have been working with prisoners in Salem for a number of years; he teaches a class in electrical engineering there, and is currently chairman of Master's Men, who minister at the prison.

The questions dealt with by the two speakers included: "What is the purpose of society locking men up? Is it to get them to conform to society's view Of acceptable behavior? Should the length of time depend on a prisoner's response to attempts to change his behavior? Should the focus be on helping the person or on making retribution? What is our role as Christians?" The presentations were preceded by a pot-luck dinner at Wayne Swenson's home, and followed no doubt by a vigorous discussion period.
(This section used to consist of tid-bits gleaned by the editor from Executive Council minutes. Now we think it's time to turn it aver to Executive Secretary Bill Sisterson for a bi-monthly report direct from Elgin. Roger, over, and out. ---Walt Hearn)

Thanks, Walt, for this opportunity to give a current report on activities from the Elgin office. There is a lot to report as we move into the most decisive year of the ASA since its beginning over 30 years ago. We are planning on an increase of 50% in our budget for 1973 and hope to add 500 new members and 300 new subscribers.

100 Club - The initial response to this needed source of income is excellent. As of this writing we have 35 members who have agreed to participate. The "Club" is made up of ASA members who are willing to donate $100 each year for a maximum of three years. We hope to enlist the help of 100 members in the project, with a minimum goal of 50 as necessary to meet our basic needs. If you haven't been contacted but would like to give, please write me and let me know.

There was little activity for new members and subscribers in December, and early January, but since the middle of January things have picked up. There were 15 new members in December and 23 in January. New subscribers totaled 19 in December and 28 in January. Members sent us over 800 names of potential members and we are in the midst of writing them. So far we are getting about a 10% positive response. Please send us more names whenever you think of them.

Travel - I had one major trip in the last two months. I met with Dick Wright in Boston to discuss the program for the Annual Meeting in August and lay some definite plans. In addition, I met with Jack Haas, new Executive Council member, and some members of the New England section. Then it was on to New York to meet with Jim Neidhardt and the officers of the New York City section. There was much enthusiasm in these meetings about the potential of the ASA..

I did get two basic criticisms from several people. On the one hand several felt that we should take a definite stand as an organization against evolution, while some felt we discussed the question of evolution too much and should get on to other things. In discussing the first complaint, I pointed out what I feel to be the historical position of the ASA (see the JASA, Vol. 3 #3 and Vol. 13 #4) in providing a forum for the expression of honest differences among Christians on questions related to science and Christianity. Because of this, it is not within the purpose of the ASA to take a stand officially on such a question.

As to the second complaint, it was neatly resolved by the fact that in each group that it was raised, a lengthy discussion on the problems of evolution followed. Like it or not, the question of the relationship of evolution to the Christian faith continues to be a "hot" subject and will be in the foreseeable future. Since so many Christians are interested in it, the ASA should continue to speak to the problem. It is an issue that is far from being settled among Christians.

If you have any comments or suggestions on these two questions, let me hear from you. In fact, if you have any suggestions or ideas, please write to me. You are the ASA and it is my job to carry out the wishes of the membership under the direction of the Executive Council in accord with our constitution and policies. Your input is essential.

Thank you, Bill
Phil Bays is back in the Chemistry Department at Iowa's Grinnell College, tooling up for a new biochemistry course this spring. Some $10,000 for equipment was provided by an NSF (ISEP) grant. Phil says it's good to be on campus again, "especially on those occasions when students walk into my office to ask about my philosophy of life."

Paul E. Bellino was promoted last June. He is now second most senior conciliator for settlement of charges of discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, or national origin, in the Atlanta District Office of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (established by Congress under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended in 1972). Before that, he had been awarded a full scholarship to the Psycho-Social-Religious Group Therapy Workshop on Race Relations held in Lynchburg, Virginia, by the Fellowship for Racial and Economic Equality.

E. E. Billinghurst, Jr., is now in Ithaca, New York, transferred by National Cash Register Company from materials engineering in Dayton, Ohio.

Joe Blakeslee has been in Hickory Corners, Michigan, since December, on furlough until August 1973 from agricultural work in Ecuador's Amazon jungle. Joe has been making variety and fertility trials for INIAP (National Institute of Agricultural Research) on rice, corn, and soybeans; he left in progress a variety trial on new cacao hybrids. Joe is considering further study while he's in the U.S., perhaps in a Ph.D. program.

William L. Brown has left his post at the U. of Michigan to become principal of the Midland (Michigan) Christian School, where be also teaches science and math. He recently won an Evangelical Press Association award for a news feature in the Christian Teacher magazine.

Russell De Young recently left Florida to do graduate work at the U. of Illinois in Urbana. His Ph.D. thesis work in the Nuclear Engineering Department is on direct pumping of lasers by nuclear irradiation. Speaking of radiation, Russ says he misses that Florida sunshine!

Maurice Dube, on sabbatical from Western Washington State University in Bellingham, is now doing electron microscopy of algae in the Department of Botany, U.C. Berkeley He did "field work" in the Caribbean and Panama for the first half of his leave, arriving in Berkeley lean and tan from all that scuba diving.

Stanley L. Gunderson has moved from North Park College in Chicago to Bethel College and Seminary at Arden Hills, Minnesota. He is mechanical engineer in charge of operation and training personnel for the brand new campus. Stan has plenty of engineering to take care of after a 2-year, 7-million dollar building program: four new academic buildings and dormitories house a total enrollment of 1,125 students.

Dean Hartman received his Ph.D. in science education from the U. of Wisconsin last August. He is a science consultant with the Joint County School System in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Recently Dean helped plan for high school biology teachers in his 6-county area a workshop based on the NABT meetings held in San Francisco. The session on the creation-evolution controversy was the starting point for a lively discussion.

Roger Hinrichs moved this fall from his post-doc position at Michigan State Cyclotron Lab to the Physics Department at SUNY College at Oswego, New York. After several 1972 publication on charge-exchange reactions in Phys. Rev., he is now in "Energy and the Environment" and works with IVCF. A growing faculty Bible study group occasionally discusses ASA News articles, he says. Roger wants to find a way to work in Latin America this summer, and would like to hear from other Christian faculty with interest in that area.

W. D. .Josyln is now clinical psychologist at the Veterans Hospital in Knoxville,
Iowa. He was formerly research psychologist at the Oregon Primate Research Center in Beaverton, Oregon.

Titus Lehman is employed as a psychiatric staff nurse at the church-sponsored Thilhaven Hospital in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. He writes that he and his colleagues it experience varying degrees of paradox, uneasiness, or grave inner distress from the conflict between the therapeutic principles of concern and Christian caring versus the law-of-the-jungle principle with which the U.S. military wastes the lion's share of our federal taxes. Shouldn't ASA be more concerned about this challenge?"

Johi.G. Lepp has been elected vice-president of the Ohio organization of Technical Colleges. John became the first president of the Marion Technical College in Marion, after serving three years as assistant to the president and director of campus planning at Bowling Green State University, also in Ohio. Marion Technical College, one of 17 state technical colleges, has 500 students in its second year of operation. John also published his third article (on zoology) in Encyclopedia Britannica's Yearbook of Science and the Future.

David Lindberg has been promoted to professor and appointed dean of graduate studies in the Department of History of Science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Russell W. Maatman, professor of chemistry at Dordt College in Iowa, was awarded an American Chemical Society-Petroleum Research Fund grant for research at the undergraduate level, according to Chemical & Engineering News. The research deals with site densities in heterogeneous catalytic systems.

Allen J. Moon says he "finally" received his Ph.D. in June 1972 from the University of Georgia. He is now teaching chemistry and physics at Wesleyan College, Macon, Georgia. For the January Short Term, he taught a special topics course on "Science and the Bible." Allen says he really appreciated the resource material available in JASA.

James L. Naden of Indianapolis, Indiana, has retired from active teaching, "but never from interest in things scientific and Christian." He has lectured on "Science and the Bible" and "What Does it Mean to be Human?" but has the most fun with a travelogue, "Serendipity of the Seven Seas." He has given it 20 times for church and civic organizations, 5 times on WRTV, Indianapolis. The travelogue is illustrated with slides taken a year ago on Jim's trip to Berlin, Moscow, Egypt, and the Holy Land.

James Nordstrom is now associate professor at the Institute of Human Nutrition, Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Missouri. He had been in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Daniel C. Norman has retired from two years of active duty at HQ, Army Material Command, Washington, D.C., and this fall accepted a position teaching math at Southeastern Christian College, Winchester, Kentucky.

James S. Pinneo, M.D., of Central Alaskan Missions, Inc., was honored at "Dr. Jim Day", in Glennallen, Alaska on April 16, 1972, for 18 years of service to the people of the Copper River Valley. This fall, Jim was a delegate from Alaska to the International Council meeting of the Far Eastern Gospel Crusade. The Pinneos took a 6-week trip to the Far East, visiting mission stations in Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines.

H. Wesley Roloff, after eight years in Lodi, California, is now pastor of Fair Oaks United Methodist Church, Fair Oaks, California. In September the Roloffs led a 24,000-mile tour through Europe, Israel, the Middle East, Iraq, and Russia. It was their fourth tour, but Wes's first visit to Iraq. Churches and interested groups have enjoyed their slides of modern Baghdad and Mosul, ancient Ur, Babylon, Hatra, and Nineveh.

Arthur A. Smucker envies the ASA News editor our escape from Iowa. Art is on a sabbatical from Goshen College, Indiana, but escaped only to Iowa City. At the U. of Iowa he is in the Department of Biochemistry, investigating enzymes in rat hepatomas grown in tissue culture. The weather has been for the birds this winter, Art says. For penguins, that is.

Robert Dean Troyer received an M.S. in physics from Purdue in August 1972, and is presently teaching math and physics as an instructor in engineering technologies at Owens Technical College, Perrysburg, Ohio. He is a relatively new member of ASA and would like to make contact with other members and perhaps stir up some local section activity in the Toledo area. His new home address is 619-D Roxbury Court, Oregon, Ohio 43616.

W. Pennington Vann is now associate professor of civil engineering at Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas. He says there are many ASA prospects there as well as a new campus ministry by Inter-Varsity. Penny moved from Rice University this fall, and continues his teaching and research in structures.

William W. Watts is associate professor of physics and department chairman at The King's College, Briarcliff Manor, New York. His paper, "Science Education and the Grand Fairy Tale," tied for first place at the Wheaton College Seminar on Faith and Learning last summer. In January 1973, he delivered a paper at the 6th Hawaiian International Conference on System Sciences.

Gilbert Weaver maintains a strong interest in the philosophy of science. After receiving a Th.D. from Grace Theological Seminary in 1967, he went on to obtain an M.A. in philosophy from Michigan State University in 1972. Gil is on the faculty of John Brown University, Siloam Springs, Arkansas.

Harold F. Winters, physicist at IBM's research lab in San Jose, California, had three papers in J. Appl. Phys. in 1972: "Influence of Surface Adsorption Characteristic on Reactively Sputtered Films"; "Gas Analysis in Films by Laser-Induced Flash Evaporation Followed by Mass Spectrometry"; and "Growth of Nitrided Surface Layers by Ion Bombardment." Harold presented invited papers all over the place, including the Gordon Research Conference on "Reactively Sputtered Films" in Meriden, New Hampshire, in August.

Ed Yamauchi of Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, has been elected vice-president of the Conference on Faith and History, an organization of Christian historians. He is also editor-at-large of Christianity Today. The Nov. 24 issue had an article by Ed on "How the Early Church Responded to Social Problems."
