Gustavson Reveals Plans For Cell Growth Institute Chancellor R. G. Gustavson has announced the organization of an Institute of Cell Growth at the University. The Institute will study growth ef normal jind cancer cells under the direction of Dr. Donald M. Pace, chairman of the University's department of physiology and pharmacology. A gift of $20,000 was received this week by the University Foundation from the Cooper Foundation of Lincoln. The sum will finance the remodeling of part of the basement of the Plant Industry building at the College of Agriculture, the only space available, into temporary quarters for the Institute. The remodeled quarters will i provide for three offices; a stor age room; a photo dark room; a sterile room; an ante-chamber to prepare material for the sterile room; and two laboratories one for chemicals and the other for equipment. The Institute is the only one of its kind in the nation. Chan cellor Gustavson said. Other re search centers, such as Johns Hop kins university and Bethesda, Md., are studying normal and cancer ous tissues. "We hope to build at Nebraska an Institute which will not only investigate normal and cancer cells, but train young men to carry on this work," Dr. Gustav son said.

After the war, Hildebrand worked for an eastern chemical firm but decided to follow in the footsteps of his father, who has been a Nebraska druggist for 40 years. In 1949 he entered the College of Pharmacy. Now, at graduation, Hildebrand has 230 college credit hours compared to the 125 re quired for most college degrees. Swanson was graduated from high school in 1935. He left the farm long enough to take a short college course and a business course but returned to farming. He spent two years in the ser vice overseas. "After two years," he said. "I decided I wanted to know a lot more about farming and I used my GI right to go to the College of Agriculture." During his school career, Swan son spent most of his weekends working on the 240-acre Swanson farm near Schickley. "It didn't give me much time for student activities," Swanson admits, "but I sure got in a lot of field work." Seventeen seniors were graduated "with distinction." The students and their majors are: Adolph J. Dlouhy, Jr., general 'agriculture, College of Agricul- Darrell W. Heiss, vocational education, College of Agriculture. Myron J.

(The complete list of graduates appears on page 4.) growth behavior of normal and cancer cells, and the Institute will simply amplify the work he has already started. "Cells are the units of life. All living things are either single cells, like the bacteria which cause disease, or else groups of cells linked together into complex patterns such as are human be ings. "By studying" single cells, we will greatly simplify the problem of trying to understand why some cells grow normally and others grow abnormally, as in the case of cancer. The Institute's work will be of a fundamental nature." The University hopes eventually to provide the Institute with its own building and with consider able equipment which it needs. These needs, which will cost be tween a quarter and a half mil lion dollars, will be met by .gifts to the University Foundation, Dr. Gustavson said. Dr. Pace said Friday that the Institute will immediately attack two broad basie prob lems: (1) the study of the possibility of production of cell hormones by both normal and cancer cells; and (2) the ef fects of inhibitors (such as cyanide) on the respiration, or living process, of normal and cancer cells. Dr. Pace came to the Univer sity in 1942 from Johns Hopkins university. He is the author of laooui su researcn siucues on ceu growth.
