Page Eight SCARLET AND BLACK Friday. September in, ms No Grinnell Summer Classes Didn't Mean Intellectual Still The absence of summer classes at Griiinell might lead one to think that intellectual activity wns iii a siandstill. But his is far from true. par- ticularly in the science building, where nine college protessors and' 17 student assistants were engaged in summer research projects— tliis year to the accompaniment oi pounding hammers and buzzing saws. While carpenters and laborers worked toward the completion (ii a $1 million addition to the college's science building, the nine prUles» surs continued their research in the (mast “show must go on" tra~ dition despite the inconvenience or dust, noise, and electrical and wa- ter interruptions. The research was carried on in the fields of biology. chemistry, and physics under more than $160,000 in grants. Most ot the grants were for two or three years and involved work during the reg- ular school year in addition to summer laborr While National Science Founda- tion grants financed a majority or the research projects, money troni the US. Public Health Service and the Petrnleum Research Fund also aided the work. Four chemists were involved in three ot the projects. Luther Erickson and William Nevill studied “Nuclear Magnetic Resonance ot Metnl Complexes oi Possible Anti~Cancer Compounds" under 2| $60,000 U.S. Public Health Servxce stipend, A $13,740 Petroleum Research Fund grant financed a study or dicyanocarbelie and nitrogen ylide chemistry by Jack swenson, while Joseph Danmrth sought a ”Soluble SilicaeAlumina Catalyst” under a $10,000 National Science Foundation allocation. Also aiding the work conducted by the chemists was a $9,500 NSF undergraduate research participa- tion allowance in the biology department, Guil- lermo Mendoza, Kenneth Chris- tiansen, Benjamin Graham, Jr., and LaVerne Durkee all worked unv der NSF sponsorship. Mendoza explored problems in reproduction and embryology of viviparous lish from Mexico under a $12,000 allocation, while a $23,000 award financed Christiansen’s in< vestigalion 0f the evolution Di Col- lembola. a cave insect. Graham had a $17,000 grant to study the influence of natural root grafting on forest trees. Durkee conducted a iossil pollen analySis of lake bottom sediments in northern Minnesota in late July and early August. He later worked on a similar project in Iowa un- der 3 NSF stipend to low State University. Beryl Clottelter of the physics department researched the con- ductivity or walls of glass dis. charge tubes under a $14,400 NSF allowance. A tenth Grinnellian, physicist Roger Hanson, took part in n tac- ility participation program at the Ames laboratory or the Atomic Energy Commission this summer, He was involved in a Search for new isotopes. The 17 student assistants—15 from Grinnell and two who are attending other colleges, were: James Albrecht, Richard Ander— son, Roger Clow, Davrd Culver, Glenn Elliott, John Howie, Stephen Kari), Dale Levine, Memo Mendo- 23. David Nehrkorn, William Ram» seyer, Stephen Rockwood, Richard Seifert. Dennis Spencer, John Wat. kins, Ruth Ann Ryan, and Mary Lewis. Kiddies' Open House Uncle Sam's Club, a Grlnilell Col- lege service organization, will hold an open house this Monday at 4:00 pm. Representatives at the organi- zation say that those interested in attending should meet in trcnt ot Buriing Library and then the whole group will walk to the club house. Refreshments will be served.
