FIRM IS GRANTED AN OPTION FOR Theologian Scheduled (or DISPOSITION
OF PRESENT CAMPUS "TJTZmZ
Two Indianapolis businessmen, Messrs. William H. Keller, Jr. and
Robert R. Goldstein, have been granted the option to purchase the
present campus of Taylor University, President B. Joseph Martin has
announced.
Keller and Goldstein, top officials of "Joint Ventures," have been
optimistic over responses to inquiries concerning the disposition
of the campus.
"As we continue to explore the poten tial uses (of the campus), we
find that the arc of possibilities is ever widening. At this time
we have at least 20 organi zations who have expressed interest,
and we haven't even scratched the surface. Some of the many
possibilities now being pursued include the following: technical
school, community junior college, theo logical seminary,
retirement facility, in dustrial research center, agricultural
col lege, specialized hospital and research center, and many
more."
These officials anticipate that plans for the conversion of the
campus facility to another use will be completed within the next
year.
Commenting on the total relocation project, President Martin
stated:
Faculty, Staff, Students Pledge Over $44,000 for Administration
Building
The Taylor faculty and staff have al ready pledged over $32,000
toward their goal of $50,000 for the construction of the new
administration-classroom build ing on the Fort Wayne campus.
Earlier, the student body, during a special convocation, "Taylor
Futurama", pledged $12,500 toward their goal of $20,000, for
Taylor's new headquarters.
The new administration - classroom building is the joint project of
the Trus tees, alumni, parents of students, fac ulty and staff,
and students.
"One does not undertake the Herculean task of moving a college
without some very persuasive motivation behind such an effort.
Taylor has sought to face squarely the problem of her expanding
responsibility to our nation and its youth in the immediate years
ahead. With the

Cannon as guest lecturer.
Dr. Cannon is professor of church history and dean of the Candler
school of Theology, At lanta, Georgia.
All ministers within driving distance are cor dially invited to
visit the campus and attend the lectures, which are scheduled for
9:30 a.m. and 1:30 and 7:00 p.m. Additional sessions for ministers
will be held at 10:45 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Dr. Cannon received the A.B. degree with highest honors from the
University of Georgia, and was graduated Summa Cum Laude with
highest honors from Yale University, where he received the B.D.
degree in 1940. He was awarded the Ph.D. degree in 1942, also from
Yale.
Fale University recognized his schol arship by awarding him the
Hooker Fel lowship, first prize in all fields of study, and first
prize for general excellence of scholarship.

Taylor Dean Moderates Middle East Seminar
Dr. Milo A. Rediger, Academic Dean, participated as panel moderator
in a Middle East Seminar held recently at Ball State Teachers
College.
Taylor co-sponsored the seminar with Ball State, Anderson and
Marion Col leges, for the purpose of furthering studies of the
non-Western world. A Ford Foundation grant assisted in spon soring
the conference, the first of three.
Comprising one of the largest delega tions, Taylor representatives
attended the four-session program dealing with the twelve states
stretching from Pakis tan to Morroco. Featured speaker was Dr.
Charles F. Gallaher, an expert in Arab affairs and a member of the
Amer ican University's field staff.

anticipated nationwide doubling of col lege enrollments Taylor
will be called upon to train as many students in the next ten years
as in all her previous 116 years combined.
"If those who guide the destiny of Taylor had chosen the 'status
quo,' the Upland campus would continue to be an ideal setting.
However, college offi cials are firmly convinced that the Tay lor
of tomorrow must be a Christian University with a greatly expanded
enrollment, several professional schools, and additional
departments as the need warrants," the President continued.
"The in-service training and laboratory possibilities in Fort Wayne
are also a decisive academic factor. There, Taylor students will be
able to receive valuable laboratory training in medical technol
ogy, psychology, sociology, nursing, Christian education, the
ministry and other fields.
"Needless to say, progress has its price. In moving from Upland,
the col lege will have to leave the community of which it has been
a part since 1893. So close have been the ties, as "town and gown
people" have worked together in c i v i c a n d c h u r c h a f f a
i r s , t h a t i t i s d i f f i c u l t t o t e l l w h e r e t
h e c o l l e g e l e a v e s o f f and the town begins.
"But, the hour is heavy with destiny. These are days of emergency
for Amer ica and our way of life as free men. We feel it is our
duty to train as many young people as possible, as thoroughly as
possible and as quickly as possible to safeguard the future of our
country and the free world," Dr. Martin concluded.
VIENNA CHOIR BOYS COMING Concert Slated March 8
The world-renowned Vienna Choir Boys, under the management of S.

songs, and secular and folk music. The concert will

Plans for Spring Revival Are Announced
SCIENTISTS REPORT FINDINGS Radiation Research Programs
Continue
Speaker for the annual Spring Revival, February 11-17 will be Dr.
Andrew F. Gallman, pastor, Poplar Springs Drive Methodist Church,
Meridian, Mississippi.
A leading evan gelistic voice in s o u t h e r n M e t h o dism,
Dr. Gallman is District Secretary of Evangelism, and previously
served as Chairman of the Mississippi Confer ence Board of Evan
gelism for four years.
He has spoken in many parts of the country at revivals, camp
meetings, youth institutes, and college campuses. Dr. Gallman is
also vice president of the Board of Trustees, Asbury Theolog ical
Seminary, his alma mater.
No stranger to the Taylor campus, Dr. Gallman was the revival
speaker four years ago. Evening services will be held at 7:00
Monday-Thursday and 7:30 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. The
public is invited.
Experiments with radioactive tracer gases are continuing for the
fourth con secutive year under sponsorship of the Atomic Energy
Commission, Dr. Elmer Nussbaum, Director of Research, has an
nounced.
Using the radioactive gases, radon and tritium, Dr. Nussbaum has
sought to determine the diffusion rates of these gases through
semi-permeable materials such as rubbers, plastics, films, and
metals.
"Results have indicated that the new silicone rubbers are much less
im pervious to gases than some of the other synthetic rubbers,"
Nussbaum stated. "Tests with platinum and aluminum re veal that
these metals are very effective barriers.
"We hope to start experimenting with tritium labeled methane in
about two months," the scientist commented. "Me thane is normally
a non-radioactive gas but the molecules can be 'tagged' with
radioactive tritium atoms. It is then pos sible to utilize methane
in much the same way as radon and tritium."
Miss Vida Wood, associate professor of biology, is also continuing
her A.E.C. sponsored research program in the longevity of fruit
flies. The project, which began in 1960, is one of eleven A. E. C.
studies currently being con ducted in Indiana.
Throughout the nation, research cen ters are testing the effects
of radiation on various kinds of animals ranging from fruit flies
to cattle and chimpan zees.
Findings by Miss Wood reveal that female fruit flies have stronger
radio activity resistance than male flies. By applying 30,000
roentgens the male flies life span is reduced by 10 days, whereas
the female span is reduced by only five.
Although 5,000 roentgens are consid ered lethal for human beings,
the fruit flies continue to survive. Strangely, un- mated flies
live longer.
Data gained from this and other re search projects will enable
scientists to gain increasing knowledge of the over all effects of
radio-activity on human life.
