KENNEDY KOAST TO KOAST

Dr. James C. Kennedy, researcher at the Salk Institute For Biological Studies, La Jolla, California, appeared on Walter Cronkite's The 21st CENTURY television program 3 March '68. Founded by the developer of a polio vaccine, the Institute personnel are trying to create a "bio-philosophy' - a combination of biology and the humanities to provide a "better life." Research leaders of various projects included Edwin Lennox (genetics), virologist Renato Dulbecco (cancer), chemist Melvin Cohn (the body's battle against disease) and mathematician Jakob Bronowski (effects of science on modern culture).

In spite of the magic of his name, Dr. Salk confessed that the $20 million institution was beset by money problems in its fifth year.

Jim's work has to do with molecular biology in the attack on cancer.

The program was sponsored by Union Carbide, the only company whose commercials are more interesting than the program itself - with the exception of Jim's sequence.

COLLINS TO TEACH IN SEMINARY

Dr. Gary R. Collins has resigned as Chairman of the Psychology Department, Bethel College, St. Paul, Minnesota, and has accepted a position on the faculty of the Conwell School of Theology. This institution is reopening in the fall with An entirely new faculty, all of evangelical persuasion. "I am not sure what this might do to me professionally", says Collins, "but it will be challenging to build a program where psychology - both in its strictly scientific and more applied forms - can be applied to the work of the local church." Since Conwell is on the campus of Temple University, Philadelphia, Gary will be in close contact with the mainstream of psychology.

President of the North Central Section of the ASA for a number of years, Gary's leaving the Twin Cities area will create, a large vacancy, but he is looking forward to participating in the ASA work around Philadelphia. You will have three choices, Gary; go in with New York Metropolitan, with Washington/Baltimore or start something right there in Phily!

HISTORY OF SCIENCE

The oldest and largest department for graduate study in the History of Science is at the University of Wisconsin. Last year ASA member Dr. David C. Lindberg joined the faculty of this institution and is deeply involved in History of Science work, specializing in the history of medieval and early modern physical science through the time of Newton and offering both lecture courses and seminars in these areas. And, of course, Dr. Lindberg is very interested in the relationship between science and Christianity during this period.

"I would be delighted to have a doctoral candidate work under me on this general problem", Dr. Lindberg writes. His colleagues at Wisconsin have such specialties as Ancient Astronomy, l8th-20th century Chemistry, 19th-20th century Physics, History of the Social Sciences, History of Pharmacy, History of Medicine and the History of the Evolutionary Theory. They are happy to admit students having background primarily in the sciences (in fact most of their students have just this preparation) or those who have concentrated in History of Philosophy. Their graduates teach in everything from history to science departments and the program is designed with the flexibility needed to allow the achievement of such diverse goals. Of very great importance to the student, they have an unusually strong program of financial aid, fellowships and teaching and research assistantships. Those interested should write to Prof. David C. Lindberg, Department of History of Science, South Hall, Uhiversity of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 53706.

CHRISTIANITY AND CULTURE

Speaking of interesting curricula, St. Andrews Presbyterian College in Laurinburg, North Carolina, has a program called "Christianity and Culture" which runs for four years. It examines the effects and interactions of the social arts and sciences on Christianity and vice versa. The intention is to integrate science into the program. They have a radically new science building, a multi-disciplined faculty and financial commitment by the school to insure the success of this program.

The ASA is well represented in this new program in the persons of Donald G. Barnes who recently obtained his Ph.D. in chemistry from Florida State University and his wife, Karen, who obtained her Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the same institution in 1966. They both say, "It really is exciting."

UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR

 A sticker on the back of an envelope from Dr. Walter R. Hearn of the Department of Biochemistry and Biophyaics, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, states



DILWORTH TO ENGLAND

 Dr. Robert P. Dilworth, Professor of Mathematics, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, will be bundling up his lovely wife, Miriam, this month and flying to London to attend a meeting of the Executive Committee of the African Steering Committee in Mathematics. This work is under the Institute of Defense Analysis with Headquarters at Princeton University. Bob, who is an officer of the Los Angeles Section of the ASA, has been engaged in this program of training African teachers of mathematics for several years. "The big problem", he states, "is changing their mode of teaching from pure rote to something related to the pupil." The introduction of "modern" math techniques encounters the same obstacles as in this country.

 During the-past few months the IDA has been the center of great controversy as the result of, the activities of Students For a Democratic Society. At The University of Chicago the SD9'protest against the IDA resulted in an investigation by the Academic Council and the withdrawal of the university from the IDA. Pressure also is upon Princeton, to withdraw. The IDA was organized in 1956 as a nonprofit corporation to advise the office of the the Department of Defense. The initial five sponsors were Caltech, Case, MIT, Stanford and Tulane. In 1959 Michigan, Columbia and
Penn State were added, Chicago in 1961, Princeton and Illinois in 1962,and UC
Berkeley in 1964. Seems like lots of fuss over helping African teachers teach math!

STIPE TO MARQUETTE
Claude E. Stipe, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Bethel College, St. Paul, Minnesota, will be moving to Marquette University next fall. He will be teaching in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology of which Dr. David 0. Moberg will be the head. With the Milwaukie Public Museum only three blocks from the campus, Claude feels that the situation for teaching anthropology is very good.

In the announcement of Dr. Moberg's move in the last issue of ASA NEWS it was stated that this was probably the first time an ASA member would be on the faculty of a Catholic institution. Claude points out that James 0. Buswell III is teaching at St. John's University, Jamaica, New York. Oh, well! A university is a university with or without the winds of ecumenicity!

WHITWORTH GOES 4-1-4

Edwin A. Olson, Associate Professor of Geology at Whitworth College, Spokane, Washington, reports that Whitworth will become the fifth school in the nation to adopt the "4-1-4" calendar, a 14-week term at both ends of the academic year with a 4-week term in the middle. The new curriculum adopted simultaneously is basically a 11core" curriculum so rare as to have no name.

The core courses are designed for progressive development from one year to the next, the student being required to take five of them in addition to electives. Each course will be inter-disciplinary, involving 5 or 6 faculty members. In their first year, students will take "The Judeo-Christian Tradition" and "Methods of Investigation and Communication." In the sophomore year they will take "The Rationalistic Tradition"; "Science and Civilization" in the Junior year; "Christ and the Basic Issues of the Contemporary World" will top off the series in the senior year. Some current majors will undoubtedly be phased out, others strengthened. Any word on geology, Ed?

NEW CHURCH FOUNDED BY ASA MEMBERS

The 1 Feb. '68 issue of the Annapolis, Maryland, EVENING CAPITAL carried a half page spread on the recent establishment of a new Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Annapolis. Glancing down the clipping which Glenn I. Kirkland sent in are a number of underlined names familiar to ASA members as compatriots. The story goes something like this:

At the meeting of the American Physical Society in New York in 1964 Dr. Samuel A, Elder, Instructor in Physics at the U. S. Naval Academy, met Dr. Graham D. Gutsche also of the Academy physics staff. Discussing the spiritual climate of their city, they decided a new church was needed. The first meeting was held in the home of Lt. Commander James R. Wilkins USN (now in The Philippines) with a dozen adults and a dozen children present. From then on there was nothing but growth. The church is now affiliated with the Reformed Presbyterian Church-Evangelical Synod and is characterized by a conservative doctrinal position.

REPRODUCTION SYMPOSIUM

ASA members interested in human reproduction (and who isn't?) should be informed concerning a symposium to be sponsored by Christianity Today and the Christian Medical Society. It will be held 28-31 August '68 at Hotel Wentworth-by-the-Sea in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. More than 25 scholars are expected to provide insights from five disciplines.
-4-

Rev. Harold J. Ockenga, Chairman of the Editorial Board for Christianity Today and Pastor of the Park Street church in Boston will chair the symposium. Other participants include The Honorable Thomas Clark, Retired Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court; our own Dr. John W. Montgomery, President of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School; Dr * Paul K. Jewett (Theology); Dr. C. Gordon Scorer (Surgeon); Dr. Eugene Linton (Gynecology); Dr. Orville S. Walters (Psychiatrist); Dr. John Scanzoni (Sociology). Topics will be grouped around contraception, sterilization and therapeutic abortion. Those desiring further information are encouraged to get in touch with the CMS at 1122 Westgate, Oak Park, Illinois 60301.

LOCAL SECTION NEWS

NORTH CENTRAL

The North Central Section is looking forward to an exciting spring meeting to be held on a Catholic Campus in conjunction with the Minnesota Academy of Science annual meetings. This pinpoints the time for local people; details are not yet available (at least to this editor).

The new Executive Committee of the North Central Section is:

Gary Collins, President
Fred Hafner, Vice President
Dean Ostlie, Secretary
Claude Stipe, Treasurer

WESTERN NEW YORK

Marilyne Backlund, Publicity Paul Christian, Nominating Ralph Kolsrud, Membership Wilmer F. Larson

On 9 March '68 the Western New York group met at Houghton College to hear Dr. V. Elvin& Anderson speak. (The transmission loss on the grapevine is getting worse and worse!)

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

On Saturday afternoon, 2 March '68, the Southern California Section met at Harbor junior College with Professor John Vosbigian, Chemistry, as host. Dr. Benjamin F. Elson, Executive Director of Wickliff Bible Translators, spoke on "Modern Linguistics and Translation." Dr. Elson pointed out that the only reason that it is possible to translate the Bible into tribal languages around the world at all is the fact that humans have similar experiences such as living, dying, eating, sleeping, etc. But there are enormous cultural barriers to hurdle. The Argentine Gaucho has over 200 words to differentiate colors of horses, but his language may be very limited in other ways. There is no correspondence between bread in the culture of the Holy Land and bread in Mexico. In some places the heart is just a "bowl of blood" while the seat of emotions is considered to be the liver. The lecture was followed by a demonstration in which Dr. Elson took the part of a translator in some remote location and Dr. Bascom the part of the linguistic informer. The search for common ground and the building up of mistaken ideas which must be corrected later were dramatically demonstrated. Dr. Robert P. Dilworth was in the chair. After the discussion, many participants met at a local restaurant for dinner.

on 4 may 168 the Southern California Section will meet at the new home of Moody Institute of Science in Whittier. The program will be presented by MIS personnel, including a pre-production viewing of a new film.

Wheaton College has need of a good teacher in physical chemistry, preferably with a Ph.D. They have six Ph.D.'s on the faculty, considerable equipment and fairly competitive salaries as well as opportunities for research at Argonne National Laboratory. They are also looking for an Inorganic Ph.D. (not too inorganic, please). Write to ' Prof. Paul M. Wright, Chairman, Department of Chemistry, Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois 60187.

Huntington College needs a teacher with emphasis on botany and supporting interest in geology, if possible, to be one of a two-man department. Master's degree required, Ph.D. preferred. Contact Dr. Gerald S. Swaim, Dean of the College, Huntington College, Huntington, Indiana.

Malone College is seeking evangelicals with Ph.D.s in chemistry, mathematics, history, English, business and economics. Write to William D. Green, Dean of the College, Malone College, Canton, Ohio 44709.

Philadelphia College of Bible has an opening for a Physical Science teacher for the fall of 1968. The position requires the minimum of a masters degree. Communicate with Dr. Clarence E. Mason, Dean, Philadelphia College of Bible, 1800 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.

THEONETICS

"Theonetics" is a term coined by Edward B. Lindaman of North American Aviation, Downey, California. The word denotes dialogue between theology and technology. In 1965 Theonetics Symposia were held under the auspices of the Presbyteries of Los Angeles, Riverside and Saata Barbara in California and on 30 March '68 one was sponsored by California Baptist Theological Seminary, Covina, with the theme, "Scientific Achievement and Man's Responsibility." Approximately 150 pastors and laymen (about half and half) attended. Featured speakers were: Dr. R. S. Paul, Deputy Director of Batelle Northwest, Richland, Washington, ("Energy and Man"); Dr. Giles T. Brown, Dean of Graduate Studies, California State College, Fullerton ("Man: Manipulated or Ministered To"); Dean John W. Reed, University of Colorado Law School ("Legal Limits to Man's New Freedom"); Dr. Evelyn Berger, Psychologist, ("Emotional Balance in an Upset World"). For each speaker there was a response by a theologian, and ASA Honorary Fellow Bernard Ramm of the Seminary responded to Dean Reed's presentation.

There are some good topics for ASA local section meetings here!

BANANA SEEDS DEPARTMENT

     ----- The 1969 convention is planned for Gordon College, Wenham, Massachusetts.
V. Elving Anderson spoke at a convocation at Houghton College on March 8, the day before he spoke to the Western Mew York Regional meeting. "I am continually pleased by the excellent faculties at our church-related colleges, even though geographically isolated", he stated.

Neal 0. Brace is again the recipient of a grant from the Petroleum Research Fund, this time $5,184. for 1968. This work will be done at Wheaton College in the "Exploratory Synthetic Free Radical Chemistry" Neal has been engaged in.

Dewey K. Carpenter has been promoted to Associate Professor of Chemistry at Georgia Tech.

Walter R. Hearn and his wife, Ginny, counted about 300 guests they have had in their home in 1967; sometimes for "clean-out-the-ice-box" soup, sometimes for apfel pfankuchen, but always with an eye to witnessing to students and others.

John A. McIntyre, Director of the Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute, has found things piling up so much that he has asked to be relieved of his duties on the Editorial Board.

Theman R. Motsinger project engineer with General Dynamics, Pomona, California, spoke on 28 March at a meeting of the Bible Science Association at Biola College. His topic: "God's Creation and Bionics."

Irving W. Knobloch, Professor of Botany at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, and Contributing Editor of the Journal of the ASA has had a great sadness fall upon his household. His son was reported missing in action in Vietnam on 11 February. A month later his body was found and they buried him in Texas on 12 March. "I feel sad but not bitter toward God.... I do feel bitter toward man and his foolish power struggles."


The following is a letter received from G. Douglas Young in regard to the ASA-ETS joint meeting in Jerusalem in June.


Dr. Harold Hartzler
Mankato State Teachers College
Mankato, Minnesota 56001

Dear Harold:

The joint program committee met the evening of the 15th. Laird Harris, Gleason Archer (for Kantzer), Ralph Lowell, Alfred Eckert, Ray Brand and I were present.

In view of the impossibility of knowing at this juncture just who will be present in Jerusalem we decided we could not ask for or assign papers. It was felt that we should take maximum advantage of the expertize in Israel instead. Brand noted that Howard Claassen is in Jerusalem on a Gugenheim and that the two of us, immediately upon my return there on April 11, should try to line up as many lectures as we can, not only for the three "Convention Sessions" but for other free time and evenings.

Ray Brand is to keep in touch with the travel agent and from that list is to pick a few key people to lead off and moderate our evaluative sessions. For one example, we know Wilber Wallis is to be present and he could adequately lead the session on Dead Sea Scrolls. Brand will take care of this after May 1.

 

 1) Development of Technology in Israel--a lecture before visiting the Technion, Weisman Institute, etc.


2) The Sociology of the Kibbutz movement, positive and negative.


3) The Sociology of the area development projects (integration of immigrants from many backgrounds as well as the farm and industry development).


4) The construction and use of the Jordan River water diversion.


5) The psychiatric treatment of the mentally disturbed immigrants and others.


6) Desert Agricultural development.


7) Soil and water conservation and tree planting.


8) Hydroponics.


9) Jewish and Christian and Arab history of Palestine since the end of the first century A. D.


10) The future of Arab-Israeli relations (lecture by an academically qualified individual).

11) Biblical fauna and flora.

12) Dating the Carmel man.



The committee suggested that it would like to suggest to those proposing to attend the convention a limited but important reading list, naturally to be read in advance of the trip (the first three are available in paper back).
