fullbrook Resignation
The Board of Regents accepted
the disability retirement of Dr
Earl Fullbrook, dean of the Col

their meeting Saturday.
The retirement is only tempor
ary, according to Chancellor Clif

tirement because of ill health, he
said.
Fullbrook will assume the duties
of his position on his recovery,
Chancellor Hardin said.
"We are optimistic that Dr. Full
brook will return to his duties in
the near future," A. C. Brecken
ridge, Dean of Faculties, said.
There will be no acting dean ap
pointed to serve in Fullbrook's
absence, he said.
Fullbrook has served in the ca

hypertension, pain, and the nose
and its functions.
Dr. Wolff will hold two informal
seminars at the Student Union on
Tuesday. He will discuss "Cerebral
Mechanisms" at 10 a.m. and

Two University scientists have
established the presence and iden
tity of tiny particles within the
structure of bacterial cells by
breaking down the cells into com
ponent parts.
The results of this work, accord
ing to Dr. Walter Militzer, bio
chemist, and Dr. Carl Georgi, bac
teriologist, prove that the one-celled
micro-organisms have a defi
nite internal structural pattern and
are not merely random pieces of
matter.
Dr. Militzer is dean of the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences and Dr.
Georgi is chairman of the bacteri
ology department.

During his Montgomery Lec
tures, Shapiro characterized him
self as a "best-selling poet," mean
ing that his poetry is not as difficult
and obscure as many modern
poets, Miller said.
Shapiro's poems use simpler
forms and indicate a movement
away from free verse. "His qual
ities of simplicity and lucidity do
not mean that he is any less pro
found than more obtruse poets
such as T. S. Elliot and E. E. Cum
mings," Miller said.
Shapiro was recommended by
noted poets Allen Tate and Robert
Perm Warren, also a Pulitzer Prize
winner for the novel "All The
King's Men."
In addition to the Pulitzer Prize,
Shapiro has received numer
ous other awards for his poetry.
His work has appeared in maga
zines such as "Poetry," "Harp

Faculty Units:
Regents Approve
Housing Purch
The University Board of Regents
Saturday authorized the purchase
of 11 two-story, brkk buildings to
be used for faculty housing.
The buildings, known as Colonial
Terrace, are located between 34th
and 35th streets on Starr Avenue,
one block south of the College of
Agriculture.
The University will pay the own
er, Selmer Solheim, Lincoln arch
itect, $105,000 cash and assume a
mortgage of $252,951, John Selleck,
University Comptroller said.
With 90 per cent occupancy the
University will make $6,000 profit
annually which will be used to pay
off the mortgage, he said.
The University is expected to
move in sometime in March. How
ever, for the present, the houses
will be used to house women stu
dents until the completion of the
new women's dormitories on Ag
ricultural College campus, Selleck
said.

that bacterial cells contain gran
ules or particles within them. These
have been reported in the scientific
literature over a period of 50 to 60
years but it has been only recently
that interest has been received in
elucidating the function of these
units within the. cell.
The concept of bacterial cells,
subscribed to by many scientists,
is that the cell is a bunch of en
zymes wrapped up in a skin some
thing like a sausage casing.
The university scientists have
shown that the enzyma.tic activi
ty is confined, at least with the
bacterial cell they have' studied,
to specific structural units inside
the bacterial cell.
Such units in higher plants and
animals a.-e called "mitochron
dia." What Militzer and Georgi
have dose is to establish the pres
ence and identity of similar units
in a certain species of bacteria.
The scientists also have obtained
electromicrographs of the pa r
ticles, magnified 22,000 times,
which they believe to be the smal
lest pieces of life substance ever
photographed.
Georgi said that the type of bac
terium and methods used allowed
them to obtain results which have
escaped scientists in the past.

Rocks and eggs were hurled by an anrgy, cursing mob on the crt
which took Negro coed Autherine Lucy to her classes at the previously
all-white University of Alabama. The car was hit by several missiles
and one window was broken.
The demonstration was the third since the Negro coed began at
tending classes Friday. A usually reliable source, who would not
permit use of his name, said the Alabama National Guard would b

Shapiro's acceptance of Nebras

The new women's dormitories
will occupy about 49,000 square feet
and will house 160-170 women stu
dents. The project is scheduled to
be completed in September, 1957.
The buying of the apartment un

encourage faculty members to

bid on a biochemistry building on
Ag campus which will be used pri
marily for research. Bids were 32
per cent higher than the estimate
bringing the total to $252,951, ac
cording to Selleck.
In addition to these new projects,
the Board passed a resolution to
make way for a $4 million bond is

Union, the women's dormitory, a
new student health center, and a

Militzer and Georgi were the
first to discover the "red fraction"
