OUR EDITORIAL POLICY: ESCHEW OBFUSCATION
We know certain editors who confuse their readers by using big words -- like "inelectable", for instance. Not us. We think ASA News should be understood by, say,
your typical undereducated man-in-the-lab who just happens to have a Ph.D. in
microbiogeochemical astrophysics.
However, since the Journal of the American Scientific Affiliation is the outstanding
evangelical publication we know of, we intend to remain in syzygy with its elongated editor,.Dick Bube. Of course, syzygy still allows us the option of conjunction or opposition. The new feature in the June issue of the
Journal, "Periodicals
on Parade", for example, tempted us to start a rival series in ASA News called
Graffiti in Regression" with a couple of gems picked up at a Christian coffee
house:
JUDAS ISCARIOT WORE A CREW CUT.
HOW TO START A SERIES ON
HOW TO
START SOMETHING
ASA News was somewhat underwhelmed by response to the "How to Start Something"
series we really did initiate in the last issue. Consequently, we hope to buttonhole everybody at the ASA Annual Convention at Bethel College, August 17-20, to
find some contributors. What we want are some accounts of your experiences in
11social innovation"--experiments in working with people to bring out the best from
everybody concerned, ASA members, with the motivation that Jesus Christ provides
and with critical acumen sharpened in scientific work, have what it takes to do the
job--and a lot of people-jobs need doing right now.
Since we may miss some of you in St. Paul, ineluctably, we have another gimmick to
offer, indefatigably. To each of you who shares with us by mail an experience we
can use in "How to Start Something", we will send free a dozen copies of the attractive contemporary greeting card bearing
Walt Hearn's "Scientist's Psalm" (with
matching envelopes), published by Inter-Varsity Press. (We acquired the remaining
stock when IVP decided to let them go out of print.)
So, what have you been up to "with heart and mind?" We expect to hear how you have
helped organize all kinds of groups from Bible studies within your academic department to anti-pollution campaigns within your church; how you've helped to reconcile
differences on your campus or bridged the generation gap within your own family; in
short, how being God's man or woman in your particular environment has enabled you
to use God's gifts to do something creative for someone. If you share your experience you may inspire somebody else--and you'll have a dozen groovy contemporary
cards besides.
REPRINTS OF SKINNER ARTICLE AVAILABLE
The powerful article "What's the Next Move?" by black evangelist Tom Skinner, reprinted in the September 1969 issue of the
Journal
ASA, first appeared in
Collegiate Challenge, the magazine of Campus Crusade for Christ. To accommodate one
order for a thousand copies of the article for distribution, ASA Executive Secretary,
Harold Hartzler, has placed an order with our printer for a large number of offprints.
He will take some with him when he represents us at the International Congress of
Evangelism in Ottawa this month, but he expects that some extra copies will be available. There will be a small charge to recover some of the cost of printing and
mailing. The charge is: 100 each, or 20 for $1. Request "Skinner reprints" from
ASA Headquarters in Mankato--or pick up some at the Annual Convention in St. Paul.
SCUBA DEATH CLAIMS LYLE WELDON, AQUATIC WEED SCIENTIST
Lyle W. Weldon of the USDA Agricultural Research Service, Fort Lauderdale, Florida,
drowned on February 1, 1970 while performing routine underwater experiments at the
Naval Training Base at Orlando, Florida. Although Lyle may have been known personally by only a few of his fellow ASA members, he was recognized as one of the world's
outstanding aquatic weed scientists. Evidence of this recognition is the two-page
memorial to him in the June issue of the journal Weeds, Trees and Turf, with tributes
from colleagues, authorities in aquatic biology, water use, and flood control, the
president of the Hyacinth Control Society, and even Governor Claude R. Kirk of the
State of Florida. Lyle had been a member of ASA since 1963.
Lyle was born April 22, 1934 in Oregon and received his B.S. from Oregon State in
1955. He chose the University of Wyoming for graduate work, and after obtaining his
M.S. in 1956 went to work for the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Laramie
while completing doctoral studies in weed science. In 1959 he received the Ph.D.
and transferred to the Crops Research Division of ARS in Fort Lauderdale, where he
gained a reputation as a vigorous and enthusiastic investigator with "a zest for
life." He is survived by two daughters, 12 and 10, a son (Lyle W., Jr.), and his
wife, Shirley. ASA News is indebted to Mrs. Weldon for information about her husband,
and extends to her our sympathies.
CHRISTIAN SCIENTIFIC SYMPOSIUM SET FOR DORDT COLLEGE
On October 22-23, Dordt College in Iowa will host the second Christian Scientific
Symposium of a series that began in April 1968 at Calvin College in Michigan. Topics
to be discussed are:
1. Relation Between the Bible and Science (Thursday p.m.)
2. The Christian's Role in Problems of Contemporary Human Ecology (Friday a.m.)
3. A Christian View of the Origin of Life (Friday p.m.)
4. The Development of Galactic Astronomy (Friday evening)
Speakers lined up for the symposium include several ASA members:
Frank Cassel (Zoology), North Dakota State University
Kingsley Elder (Physics), Rochester Institute of Technology
Duane Gish (Biochemistry), Upjohn Company
Walter Hearn (Biochemistry), Iowa State University
Richard Hodgson (Astronomy), Dordt College
John Hulst (Bible), Dordt College
James Olthuis (Philosophy), Institute for Christian Studies
Gordon Spykman (Bible), Calvin College
Robert Vander Vennen (Chemistry), Trinity College
Delmar Westra (Biology), Dordt College
Russell Maatman of the Department of Chemistry at Dordt is chairman of the committee
organizing the symposium. Russ says you can get to Sioux Center via either Sioux
City or Sioux Falls, and that for information about lodging or other matters you
should write to either Willis Alberds or Edwin Geels, Dordt College, Sioux Center,
Iowa 51250.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
The annual September Conference of the Research Scientists' Christian Fellowship of
Great Britain will be held at Bedford College, University of London, on September
26. As usual, papers on the Conference theme will be prepared and circulated in advance so almost the whole time at the Conference can be devoted to discussion. The
theme this year is "What Difference Does it Make to a Scientist if he is a Christian?"
The following papers are being prepared by various RSCF groups:
Paper 2: What is the effect of Christian faith on our motives and ambitions,
and on our choice of research topics?
Paper 3: What is the effect on life in the lab (honesty, integrity, attitude
toward other people's work, scientific and other authorities, the
use of time)? What are the special temptations of the Christian?
Paper 4: Is God fundamental to scientific thinking? In what sense is science
autonomous? How do we regard scientific knowledge?
Members of RSCF unable to attend the meeting may subscribe for the papers (cost
5/-d), but are asked to write in early (by September 1) so that the number of copies
needed can be estimated correctly. If you write to Dr. Oliver R. Barclay, RSCF
Annual Conference, 39 Bedford Square, London WCIB 5EY, England, enclosing a dollar
bill or a "cheque" (for a buque?), he will be glad to send you copies of these interesting papers. Tell Oliver the Artful Dodger sent you.
HE TRANSMOGRIFIES BIOGRAPHIES INTO BOOKS
James C. Hefley seems to turn out books like some mama cats turn out kittens. His
latest litter of biographies, published a few months ago by Zondervan Publishing
House, Grand Rapids, Michigan, is entitled Lift-off! The life and Christian witness
of 21 astronauts, scientists, and engineers working in aerospace technology and
space exploration are presented in essentially the same format as Jim's earlier Adventurers With God: Scientists Who Are Christians.
This one has more illustrations, mostly provided by NASA. Along with famous spaceniks like Wernher von Braun
and John Glenn, four ASA members tell about their technical work and express their
Christian convictions: Vernon Grose. Rodney Johnson, Lambert Dolphin, and Peter
Stoner.
We had hoped to sign up Jim and bis prolific typewriter to report on the Annual Convention at Bethel College this month for the next issue of
ASA News. Too late.
He's out in California researching the "definitive biography" of Cameron Townsend,
founder and general director of the Wycliffe Bible Translators. Jim has learned
enough about the 73-year-old Townsend already to have great admiration for him, and
learned quite a bit about Wycliffe in the process. The whole Hefley family spent
the summer of 1969 in Peru's Amazon jungle to see Wycliffe people in action. "Did
you know", he writes, "that boa constrictors make good pets? Up to about six feet,
that is."
Jim gets more "spin-off" from ASA Conventions than anybody we know. He says the
paper Elving Anderson read at the North Park College meeting on the control of life
got him interested in the moral/religious/legal/medical aspects of human artificial
insemination. A Hefley article growing out of this interest is scheduled to appear
in the American Medical Association's popular magazine, Today's Health. The title,
"The Clouded Future of Triangle Babies", does not refer to infants with pointed
heads!
REPORT FROM THE SPACE BEAT
Rodney W. Johnson of Seabrook, Maryland, one of the nation's space scientists
featured in Jim Hefley's Lift-off! above, hasn't been to the moon himself yet, but
he's covered a lot of terrestrial territory. In December 1969 he spent three weeks
in Antarctica (ever hear of a "cold Rod"?) to research the relationship between
science and habitability there and in space at the request of the National Science
Foundation. The resulting chapter co-authored with Philip M. Smith on "Antarctic
Research and Lunar Exploration" has appeared in Advances in Space Science and Technology.
Rodney also participated in a symposium in Paris, France, as an invited
member of a NASA team to present U. S. Space Station plans to the European Space
Research Organization.
In January 1970, after seven years in the lunar program area of NASA in various
capacities, he was appointed manager of experimental payloads. His new position
covers 11responsibility for management of planning and development of experimental
modules in all areas of science, applications, and technology for the mid-1970's
earth orbital space station." Rodney was a charter member of the ASTM Committee
E-21 on Space Environment Simulation in 1963, and has just completed his second twoyear term of office as chairman. He says he's glad to be out from under the ASTM
assignment, since getting that space station in orbit--plus church, PTA, and civic
activities--keeps him pretty busy.
A BIBLIOGRAPHY ON SCIENCE FOR SOCIETY
The National Science Foundation and Battelle Memorial Institute, Columbus, Ohio,
have jointly sponsored preparation of.Science for Society: A Bibliography for the
Commission on Science Education of AAAS, which is distributing 35,000 copies to secondary school principals throughout the U. S. The 42-page bibliography, compiled
by John A. Moore of the Department of Life Sciences, University of California at
Riverside, covers these topics: 1. General references; 2. Population problems
(cities; crowding & aggression); 3. Agriculture, food, nutrition; 4. Pollution of
air, water, & food; pesticides; 5. Medicine, health, drugs; 6. Natural resources &
conservation; 7. Race; 8. Biological engineering; eugenics; 9. The nature of science
& scientists; 10. Science, technology, & society; 11. War & peace. Books and articles
(Science, Bioscience, Scientific American, etc.) are listed separately under
each topic.
Write to the Commission on Science Education, American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1515 Massachusetts Avenue, N. W., Washington D. C. 20005, for a
complimentary copy. A bibliography like this is a great idea. Wish the ASA had
thought of it before AAAS beat us to the draw. Wonder if we could do something
similar, but with a slightly different slant, and distribute it through denominational channels.
Meanwhile, you can keep the AAAS version on your desk. Next time a student comes
in and says, "I'm dropping out of science because I'm searching for relevance",
don't shout, "ELEPHANTS7 In this climate?" Just lend him Science for Society. Maybe he can find what he's looking for wihin science.
MAN EXSANGUINATES BAT
A couple of issues back, having raised the question of whether one of our geologists has gone "loony", we now take up the case of David S. Bruce of the Department
of Biology, Seattle Pacific College. A few years ago he and his research collaborator at Purdue, Dr. J. E. Wiebers, were up to some mysterious business, crawling
around in southern Indiana caves in the wintertime and prowling dusty attics in the
summer. Gone batty, you might say. Yep, that's what they were collecting, all
right, and what they were doing with all those bats is just beginning to come out
in a string of scientific papers. Ordinarily we wouldn't try to make a news story
of that, but we thought the headline would rival MAN BITES DOG in the reverse twist
department. Anyway, if you thirst for more on bat blood, take a look at these
papers by D. S. Bruce and J. E. Wiebers:
"Influence of season and activity on sodium content of bones and plasma
of the bat, Myotis lucifugus," Experientia 25, 29-39 (1969).
'Nineral dynamics during hibernation and chronic immobility: a review," Aerospace Medicine 40,
855-861 (1969).
"Calcium a phosphate levels in bats (Myotis lucifugus) as function of
season and activity," Experientifi, in press (1970).
"Body weight of Iyotis lucifuSus under natural and laboratory conditions," Journal of
Man-nsology, in press (1970).
CANADA SWINGS
We don't know if it's the influence of their swinging Prime Minister or just longstanding tradition, but the Canadians always seem to do things up in style. When
Ross Donovan set up an ASA get-together during the joint meeting of the American
Chemical Society and the Chemical Institute of Canada in Toronto last May, he did
it right. On the first page of the official program was a large boxed announcement
under the heading "SPECIAL ADDPISS." Full details were given, including the topic
"Christian Influence in a Non-Christian Society" chosen by speaker Bob Jervis of
the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Toronto. Between 35 and
40 people attended, from Fredericton, New Brunswick to Madison, Wisconsin and as
far south as Louisville, Kentucky. Ross felt he should cut off the discussion
after about an hour, "whereupon the group broke up into 7 or 8 smaller groups continuing the discussion over coffee and doughnuts until about 10:30 p.m." Even
after that, Ross says, he found one group still at it on the front steps of Hart
House, the U. of T. building in which the meeting was held.
Invitations (the formal engraved kind!) were sent to all ASA members on the Ontario
list received from Mankato. But alas, even those highly organized Canadians sometimes hit a snag: the ASA membership application forms arrived from Mankato about
a week too late for the meeting. No matter. Ross says he will mail them out individually with ASA brochures to each non-member participant who left his name for
further information.
GOOD POSITION LOOKS FOR RIGHT PERSON
David Schuur, a former pupil of Russ Mixter at Wheaton, called all over the country
before finally locating the ASA National Office in Mankato to report an immediate
opening at Elgin Academy, a private boarding school. The Academy needs a secondary
school teacher for a combination of earth science and physics. A BS is required
but a teaching certificate is not. The teacher they employ should be working toward an advanced degree but would have plenty of time to get it. The salary is the
equivalent of a public school salary, and includes an apartment, meals, etc. Contact Donald McLeod, Headmaster, Elgin Academy, 350 Park St., Elgin, Illinois 60120.
INDIANA
We finally have enough details for a full story on the record-breaking meeting on
"Population and Environmental Problems" held by the Indiana Section on April 10.
The meeting was held in Marion as part of the Golden Anniversary Year celebration
of Marion College. Featured speaker was Dr. Abraham David, an alumnus of Marion
College and adjunct associate professor of health administration, University of
North Carolina. Dr. David is also visiting associate professor of population economics at the Carolina Population Center and director of the Research Triangle Institute's South Asia Population Program, He was in Nepal as an advisor to the
government, 1963-67, and spoke from firsthand experience on the urgency of population control.
Dr. David's 10 a.m. lecture on "The Waiting Room" ("many nations of the world have
waited too long") drew an attendance of 400. Is that the largest for any ASA Local
Section meeting? Or even for a National meeting? Admittedly only about 20 ASA
members were in that 400, but that's the way to spread the word and get new members.
Attendance at previous meetings of the Indiana Section has been mostly local.
Other speakers on that Friday were John Klotz, professor of Biology at Concordia
Senior College in Fort Wayne, and Mrs. Ethyle R. Bloch, leader in conservation in
the Fort Wayne area. Their talks on conservation problems and their comments in
an afternoon symposium with Dr. David were also challenging. Most of the extended
meeting was held in the Porter Lecture Hall of the new science building, dedicated
last November. The hall was named for ' Donald H. Porter, professor of math and
physics at Marion, where he first began teaching in 1930. Don was chairman of
local arrangements for the meeting. Warren E. Hoffman, professor of chemistry at
Indiana Institute of Technology, is president of the Section, and Fred D. Morgan,
professor of biology at Huntington College, is chairman of the program committee.
At the business meeting the Section decided to continue holding two meetings a
year--but they may have a hard time topping this one.
NOTES FROM THE NATIONAL OFFICE
Executive Secretary Harold Hartzler and secretary Hazel Fetherhuff have been busy
this summer with the June issue of the ' Journal, the membership directory, and the
final program of the Annual Convention. But they've also had time to compile the
list of 1970 National ASA Personnel (appended to this issue). This is what Alton
Everest used to call "The list of chiefs for the benefit of the rest of the Indiana."
--- SEE YOU AT THE ASA ANNUAL CONVENTION IN ST. PAUL, AUGUST 17-20 ---
Jack Abernethy is back to teaching chemistry and doing research at California State
Polytechnic College in Pomona. His bio-organic investigations of catalysis by the
enzymes papain and ficin have a bearing on ideas about the origin of life on earth,
since the almost total asymmetry of today's biological molecules must have come
either from asymmetric synthesis or from exclusion of the 'mirror molecules." The
possibility of a whole "mirror world" of living things makes his work both fun and
games, Jack says--fantastic as it sounds.
Richard Bube, professor of materials science at Stanford University, will be a
featured speaker at the Great Lakes Regional Conference of the National Science
Teachers Association. The conference for elementary and secondary teachers, to be
held October 8-10 at the Pantlind Hotel, Grand Rapids, Michigan, will focus on
"Science, Technology, and Human Values." (If you'd like to attend, write the conference chairman: Henry J. Triezenberg, National Union of Christian Schools, 865
28th St. S. E., Grand Rapids, Michigan 49508.)
Darrell Clardy has completed his M. S. degree in biophysics at Iowa State University
in Ames, having unscrewed the inscrutable problem of the sense of helicity in polyL-tyrosine and its copolymers. He is now unwinding in a position at ISU's Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, doing analytical toxicology and developing an interest
in environmental problems.
Lois Dunkerton, chemistry undergrad at Iowa State University, has been spending most
of the summer in an NSF-sponsored Undergraduate Research Participation program in
chemistry at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York.
F. Alton Everest, after 25 years at Moody Institute of Science, is "retiring"--if
you can use that term to include teaching at Hong Kong Baptist College and serving
as Far East correspondent for ASA News, Alton will teach communications, hoping to
establish a film production sequence, and wife Elva will teach English. Their address at the College, after August 1, will be 224 Waterloo Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
Ray Hefferlin, chairman of the Physics Department of Southern Missionary College,
Collegedale, Tennessee 37313, reports that his department is moving to larger quarters in the former library of the college. He has been on a "Summer service leave"
and hoping to visit ASAers on the West Coast. Ray has put together "A Compilation
of Current Christian Illustrations and Evidences from Physics." He would be glad to
share his compilation with others at cost, which he estimates at $1.50 for tke 2nd
edition he's been working on. Order from him at the address above.
Carl Jarboe has completed his postdoctoral work in the Department of Bio. logical
Chemistry at the M. S. Hershey Medical Center of the Pennsylvania Stai7University
in Hershey. He begins teaching organic chemistry this fall at Messiah College in
Grantham, Pennsylvania.
Charles R. Sather is now on the faculty of DeVry Institute of Technology in Phoenix,
Arizona, teaching psychology, technical writing, and world literature. Charles has
a Th.D. degree and does some preaching and leading of Bible conferences in addition
to part-time family counseling. He says he has contact with a number of Christian
M. D.'s interested in ASA--and he wishes the ASA Journal were a monthly because of
its significant witness to the scientific mind and world.
Jack S. Swenson is leaving Grinnell College in Iowa this fall to become chairman of
the 12-man Department of Chemistry at Northern Arizona University at Flagstaff. Jack
has been a great help over the years to the Grinnell College Christian Fellowship,
whose members are now praying for a new faculty sponsor. Are we too late to locate
an ASA organic chemist ready to step into this dual role?
Ed Yamauchi of Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, took his family to Europe in June and
July, with an American Philosophical Society grant to do research on Mandaic texts
at Oxford. Ed also gave a Tyndale Lecture on "Pre-Christian Gnosticism" at Cambridge,
and some lectures for the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students in
Austria.
I would like to call to your attention a significant parable for our time,
"The Comedy of the Stew-Pot." A community of people each with only the barest necessities for a meal, come together and each contributes his morsel to the common
stew-pot. The result is a marvelous stew that satisfied all the people of the community far more than would their own contribution if kept to themselves.
The parable of "The Comedy of the Stew-Pot" has a direct application for the
members of ASA and the readers of the Journal ASA. If each member were to give just
one Gift Subscription, at a cost of Three Dollars ($3.00) Three Little Ones
he would be making only a tiny contribution to the whole work of the ASA. But if
each member were indeed to give a Gift Subscription, we would suddenly have almost
2000 new readers, who would have for the first time an opportunity to find out directly what the ASA is all about. Can you imagine the revolutionary effect on the
life and impact of the ASA if we suddenly had 2000 new readers?! It is truly
mindboggling.
I'm asking you therefore to make out that Gift Subscription right now for that
man or woman you know, who will really profit from it - and may be swung over to
joining the ASA and contributing to its work themselves.
And after you've sent off that Subscription to Harold Hartzler at the National
Office address, if you want to do a little something extra to brighten an Editor's
day send me a postcard telling me, "I've put my piece in the pot. Now you stir
it!
