Ag Union Panel Reviews War
Effect on Genetical Mutations
War is the major problem of
our generation as it has been
'down through the ages. Only
when we have war now, there
may be much more serious con
sequences in the form of geneti
cal mutations.
This was the proposition pre
sent and explained at the infor
mal panel discussion held in the
Ag Union Wednesday afternoon.
Members of the panel were: Rich
ard Sill, instructor; Arthur Rob
ertson, instructor; Herbert Jehle,
ass't professor; and Willard Joed
dert, graduate student and former
instructor, all members of the
University Physics department. .
Over 50 students joined the dis
cussion on the topic, "Genetics,
and Atomic Energy." The final
discussion is scheduled for Mon
day, May 7, at 4:30 p.m., and will
look toward "Alternatives to
Present Policies.
As introductory material the
men explained that the heredi
tary process is carried out through
the operation of genes and chrom
osomes. Damage or alteration to
the genes or chormosomes can
result in changed heredity.
In some instances, Sill said, the
heredity is changed to such an
extent that the individual is un
recognizable or even may die be
fore birth.
Changes in the genes or chom
osomes are known as mutations.
Some changes have major effects
while others only have minor ef
fects on the individual, he said.
Major effects are dominant and
minor effects recessive in the
genetical make-up, Sill said.
Alternating the genes through
atomic radiation whether deliber
atly or accidentally is a criminal
thing to do to the following gen-
eration, Jehle said. Present ef-,
fects of an atomic bomb attack
.could be hidden, ne said, out
still passed on to the next gen-
, eration through the recessive mu-J
tations.

shima Atomic bomb explosion,
Fraternities Aid
"Who's got one more car," and
"we need a couple more guys,"
was the cry through numerous
fraternity houses Wednesday eve

books to assist the American
Cancer society in their Lincoln
house to house canvass ior dona
tions. In addition to the efforts of
the fellows the Pi Phis stuffed
over 30,000 envelope? with ad
vertising sent to boxholdcrs in
the Lincoln post office.
The students received no pay
for their efforts. All work was

another 100,000 persons are esti
mated to carry dangerous genet
ical mutations, according to an
article by J. B. S. Haldane, Brit
ish biologist.
Passed On Indefinitely
These mutations can be passed
on indefinitely, he stressed. And
the closer a person be to the ex
plosion, the more genes will be
damaged. Thus, the greater
chance for deformity.
It has been shown that if both
parents carry damaged genes, 25
per cent of the individuals of the
following generations will have
something wrong with them, ei
ther physically or mentally.
Many problems now stand in
the way of sound handling of
such dangerous material as
Uranium 235, Atomic Energy.
First, Russia lacks genetical
studies. They believe that everv

They do not stress inheritance as
a factor nearly as important as
environment.
Second, part of the problem is
moral, according to Dick Sill. If
we should augment an atomic
war, we would be completely
ignoring the future generations.
If we are to continue work in
radiation, Sill 3aid, we must know
something more of it.
Good Thlnrs
Good things can be accomo
lished in the laboratory, he said.
It may be possible to eliminate
disease with radioactive material

other possibility is the use of
such material In testing the
