Biochemist Tells
iVeed of 'Tracers'
Chemical tracers obtained
from atomic energy radiation, re
veal information on the cells
when injected into the body Dr.
Wu'.-f.r E. Militzcr, U. N. bio
chfr ist. said Tuesday before the
Lincoln Junior Chamber of Com
merce. Such questions as how cancer
develops, how blood forms and
what happens to red corpuscles
when diseases such as lukemia
attack them, how viruses att'iek
t the body, and what happens to
man in his old age may be
answered by the tracer injection.
Militzer also said that another
past-war development, the elec

tron microscope costs about $17,
000, he stated.

"If there is no enthusiasm for
the Prom, the council's future is
doubtful," commented Reese.
"But, on the other hand, if stu

function, then we'll know we
have -campus support to go on
with our plans.
"We're sincerely enthusiastic
about our plans," said Reese,
"and we hope we get the go

of the junior and other clases.
We think class organization is
highly desirable on a large, some

Exam Week
Discussed
By Senate
Hear Proposals
Of Elimination
The Faculty Senate Tuesday
afternoon spent the major por
tion of their meeting time on dis
cussion of examination problems.
After lengthy discussion on a
proposal to do away with the
present two-week exam period,
the recommendation was tabled.
Senate members will receive
copies of the proposal, in addition
to the Student Council's recom
mendations orf the problem, prior
to the next meeting.
It was suggested that all fac
ulty members study both propo
sals and then meet in departmen
tal meetings to evaluate them in
licllt of each department's set
up. The motion presented to Sen
ate members called for freedom
of action by each instructor in
holding final or third six-weeks
exams. In the two-week period
now set aside for campus-wide
examinations, each instructor
could hold as many examinations
as he wished in the regular class
periods.
Hand finals Back
It was suggested, along with
the motion, that graded finals be
handed back before the final
class period, and some time be
allowed for discussion of each
student's semester and final
exam work.
Presented by Ag campus in
structors, the proposal called for
large unit exams to be held on
Saturdays in the two-week peri
od. All other examinations would
be held in class periods in addi
tion to the usual class assign
ments .
Some faculty members objected
to the proposal because it might
place too heavy a study load on
the student body. They pointed
out that a student might have
three or four final exams on the
same day under a system of
complete "freedom" .for instruc
tors in all classes.
Council Recommendations
The Student Council's recom
mendations were not discussed
but were added to the agenda for
the next Senate meeting. Copies
of both plans will go to each
faculty member lor his consider
ation before the next meeting to
be held next month .
The Senate also heard at its
meeting a discussion of the back
ground and work of the present
examination scheduling commit
tee. The present system went into
effect years ago after an investi
gation of exam procedures on
other campuses. It was designed
to do away with an overload of
exams for students.
In other business, the Senate
approved the establishment of a
Committee on Student Conduct
to review appeals of students on
conduct charges. It was created
on the recommendation of the
Dean of Student Affairs, Dr. T. J.
Thompson. The Senate members
also voted on membership of the
committee on University Librar
ies, and approved three recom
mendations of the Committee on
Committees in regard to nomi
nating faculty members to com
mittee posts.
