An organic chemist will handle this part of the work. Previous work initiated in 1935 and carried out by Professor G. W. Beadle, now chairman of the de partment of biology at California Institute of Technology, and Pro fessor Boris Ephrussi, now at the Sorbonne, had shown that one of the pigment components of the fly’s eye was directly dependent upon the presence of a hormone (kynurenine) which can be easily recovered from the body fluids and certain tissues of the fly. The pres ent work is an integral part of this earlier work, according to Dr. Clan cy. Forming a background for much of the practical applications of H netics are the studies in the fiK of developmental genetics, Clancy states that this is of pjH ticular importance to the agric^J ture of the country since, as It* puts it, “the geneticists are i9 boys who teach the farmers hfl to raise better cows.” Laboratory in Deady As the project progresses, ifl Clancy will be aided by research afl sistants and graduate assistant To allow for the expansion neceB sary to carry on the research, K new laboratory is presently und® construction on the top floor ■ Deady hall. A series of special “stocks” tiny vinegar flies, which have be J synthesized and propagated Clancy in his seven years on til Oregon campus, will constitute tlfl nucleus of the research. 3 Night Staff: I Dean Blankenburg, Night Editol Virginia Fletcher i Evelyn Nill Don Smith Marty Bramlett Roger Moore Robert Smallen Eugenia Billeter Carol Rohlffs PHILIP MORRIS is so much better to smoke!
