SPU to Discuss Nuclear Testing
The political effects of resumption of nuclear testing by the U.S. will be discussed tomorrow night at 7:30 in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union by members of the recently-organized local chapter of the Student Peace Union.
Arnold A. Strassenburg, associate professor of physics, will lead the discussion. A proposed plan to send surplus food to Red China will also be discussed.
SPU members have been circulating petitions to gain supporters for the food plan that is actively backed by John Ise, professor emeritus of economics, and Mrs. Karl Meningger, wife of the prominent Topeka psychiatrist. A meeting of Kansas civic leaders interested in the food plan was held recently in Topeka.
The University of Kansas chapter of SPU, the first in Kansas, was organized two weeks ago. The organization hopes to bring attention to issues which it feels are a threat to the existence of the human race. One of the principal areas of concern is the consequences of the international arms race.
THE SPU ENCOURAGES its members to study books and periodicals on subjects revelant to disarmament, civil defense, nuclear war, conscientious objection to military service and other issues. The SPU has established a small collection of books and periodicals which may be borrowed by any SPU member from the KU-Y office in the Kansas Union basement.
The KU chapter is planning to send delegates to the national SPU convention April 28 and 29 at Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio. More than 500 delegates from most of the major universities are expected to attend the convention where SPU plans will be outlined for the next 12 months.
Larry Laudan, Lawrence graduate student and local SPU chairman, said that the total cost of attending the convention, including registration, transportation, food, and lodging for the four-day trip, should not exceed $30 per person.
Anyone interested in making the trip should contact Laudan at VI 2-2327 no later than Saturday. All persons interested in the SPU program are invited to attend tomorrow night's meeting.

CASE HISTORIES FROM A MENTAL HOSPITAL
Fifteen years ago, Topeka State Hospital was a snake pit. Today, it's one of the world's finest hospitals. In this week's Post, you'll read case histories from their files. You'll meet a football star who wouldn't speak for twenty years. A "model" child who shouted obscenities. And an old man whose family insisted he was dead.

Professor Studies Cancer
Mathias P. Mertes, assistant professor of pharmacy, will continue research for a second year on possible anti-cancer agents under a renewal grant of $8,107 from the United States Public Health Service.
The grant supports Prof. Mertes' efforts to synthesize medicinal agents for use in the treatment of cancer. He is working with a series of flourine compounds.
The study is part of an over-all program in which Prof. Mertz is synthesizing several agents which might be used in cancer treatment. He is conducting another study financed by the American Cancer Society, as well as unsupported projects.
His assistant is Souheil Saabeb, graduate student from Cairo, Egvpt.
The agents he is investigating are certain antagonists of basic building blocks of the cell. "It is difficult to
synthsize agents that are selective for cancer cells," Prof. Mertes said, explaining these agents are poisonous both to cancerous and to healthy cells.
