TSV Cellular
Research
Recognized
A new research method to
stimulate the lung structure,
developed under Dr. Donald
Pace, director of the Univer
sity of Nebraska's Institute
for Cellular Research, has at
tracted great interest from
the International Congress for
Cell Biology, held last month
in Paris.
Dr. Pace reports that re
searchers have written for
additional information on the
stimulant following his ex
planation of it in Paris.
The method used at Ne
braska to do research on the
effect of tobacco smoke con
stituents and air pollution on
human tissue cells, cultivates
lung cells in the bottom of
special flasks, permitting the
withdrawal of all but a thin
medium of fluid which re
mains on the cells.
While abroad, Dr. Pace
visited cell biology labora
tories at the University of
Edinburgh, University of
Glasgow, the University of
Mdnich, and the Chester Beat
ty Institute for Cancer Re
search in London to explain
this method developed at the
University.
ACE Holds First
Meeting Today
The first organizational
meeting of the Association

purpose of the meeting will
be to develop educational ma
terials for students who are
working at the orphanage.
There will also be informa
tion concerning membership.

Tribunal
Amends
Regulations
New Evidence Can
Reopen Hearings
Students who have ap
peared before the Student
Tribunal may now have
their hearings reopened if
they can present new and
material evidence.
The Student Tribunal made
such actions possible Thurs
day in the form of an amend
ment to its rules of proced
ure.
The amendment reads:
"The hearing may be re
opened after the decision is
rendered upon the presenta
tion of new and material ev
idence to the Dean of the Di
vision of Student Affairs by
the defending student."
Previously a hearing could
only be reopened before the
decision was rendered for
good cause shown.
"The change came about
when a student who is now
serving a probation sentence
informed the Tribunal that
he had a revised police re
port," said Rod Ellerbusch,
T r i b u p a I chairman. "He
asked that his case be re
opened so that he could pre
sent this new evidence."
"Although it is a relative
ly simple idea, it evidently
never occurred to anyone in
the past that a student would
produce new evidence after
the decision had been ren
dered," Ellerbush continued.
In other proceedings Thurs
day the Student Tribunal rrc
ommended conduct probation
for two students who ad
mitted having stolen text
books on campus. Each was
apprehended when he at
tempted to sell the books at
a bookstore.

Food Handlers To Attend Institute
A Food Handlers Institute
will be held Wednesday and
Thursday for all persons
handling or preparing food
for officially recognized Uni
versity groups, according to
Edward W. Simpson, Univer
sity public health engineer.
"This includes all cooks,
second cooks, bus-boys, wait
ers, waitresses, dishwashers
and housemothers, whether
employed by the University,
a fraternity, sorority or co
operative and who did not
attend the institute in 1958
or 1959," said Simpson.
Two Sessions
There are two sessions on
each day. One at 2:15 p.m.
in the Student Union Audi
torium for the convenience of
cooks, full time employees,
and housemothers; and one
at 7:15 p.m. in the Social
Science Auditorium for the
convenience of part time em
ployed students.
Simpson, who is also known
as the University's chief of
environmental health and
safety division, said that the
food handlers need only at
tend one of the four sessions.
The institute includes a
lecture given by Simpson on
the three main types of food
poisoning, chemical, animal
and plant and basterial,
which is followed by a con
centrated discussion of bac
teria in general.
The public health engineer
said, "We will give a com
parison of how bacteria are
like people and how they are
different from people."
Group of Slides
The lecture will be followed
by the showing of a group of
slides illustrating bacteria
cultures and how a food
handler can pick up bacteria
from one person, communi
cate it to another and how
this, is prevented.
Simpson pointed out that

educational program," said
engineer Simpson. "If we
didn't enforce attendence,
fewer and fewer persons
would attend. Since the insti

ago, there has not been a
single incident of food poison
ing," he said.
All food handlers except
University students must get
a chest x-ray at the Student
Health Center or at the city
health department.
"At the completion of the
institute and chest x-rays the
