DON'T WORRY, WE'LL THINK OF A HEADING
A
bloodshot eye framed in tousled hair peered around the window frame. Has he forgotten? After these years of faithfulness has he, too, decided to sit by and be
satisfied with being on the receiving end only? The postman walked up the driveway
shuffling out a sheaf of letters which were dumped into the mailbox with a familiar
clank. There was a fat one! Maybe? Oh! God, please! The eye hurriedly swept the
pile of junk mail with a sanguine stare. There it is! Good old ISU stationery.
Good old Walt. Another issue of ASA NEWS is out of a sparsely settled skull and
into the third-class mailbag!
CONVENTION
WHERE: The King's College - Briarcliff Manor, New York
WHEN: 23-27 August
Excerpts from advance literature:
Board ... and lots of room (65 acres)
Children
k
price; no charge for babies. (Good deal-if you want children')
Smorgasbord Saturday evening
(Should improve popularity of Friday afternoon sessions)
Royal Rock Day Camp program for children has more downright appeal than
the ASA program! (For children, that is.)
Olympic pool for Olympic swimmers
Harry Leith has assembled an excellent program based on worthy papers presented by
authors worth listening to. The presence of the Inter-Varsity Christian Faculty
Fellowship men will insure that the discussions will have some bearing on Christian
witnessing on the university campus. Wayne Frair has done another excellent job in
providing proper arrangements at The King's College. He writes, "..interest is
running high at this end, for I have a host of letters asking all sorts of questions.." The advance registration is the highest of any ASA convention. INSIDE
TIP: the reports on the Oxford International Conference of Science and Faith alone
will be worth the trip (see NEWS, Vol. 6, No. 4, 23 Sept. 64, p. 5 et seq). Ten of
the thirty-six attending the conference are ASA members.
We'll see you at Briarcliff Manor. If you can't find it, just remember it's near
Sing Sing.
SERMONS FROM SCIENCE
While visiting the New York World's Fair be sure to go to the Sermons From Science
Pavilion. George E. Speake and Jim Moon report that while the attendance at the
fair is down some 30% from last year, the SFS Pavilion crowd is higher than last
year. Also, more people into the counseling room and more decisions for Christ.
Instead of the 12 shows a day there are 19 per day this year. Bring your foreign
friends; films shown in English and five other languages. These boys are ploughing
a furrow in untouched soil.
BOUTWELL HONORED
Dr. Joseph H. Boutwell, Associate Professor of Chemistry at Temple University School
of Medicine, has been awarded the John Gunther Reinhold Award of the Philadelphia
Section of the American Association of Clinical Chemists. The award was made on
25 May 1965 at the Barclay Hotel in Philadelphia. The citation states:
"To recognize and honor the accomplishments of Joseph H. Boutwell, Jr.,
in the field of clinical chemistry, his friendly aid to professional
associates, his outstanding efforts on behalf of professional associates, his outstanding efforts on behalf of professional societies,
his contribution to the improvement of standards of performance, his
encouragement of continued education of clinical chemists and the development of better understanding of clinical chemistry among associated professional and lay groups."
Dr. Boutwell directs the Clinical Chemistry Laboratories for Temple University Hospital and has pioneered courses for persons already in
the field. He has been asssociated with Temple University since 1949. He is a graduate of Wheaton College, 1939,
Northwestern University, M. S. in Biochemistry, 1941, PhD., Biochemistry, 1947;
Bachelor in Medicine, 1949, and M, D., after internship, 1951. ASA salutes you,
Dr. Boutwell!
METROPOLITAN NEW YORK
On Saturday afternoon, 8 May 1965, the Metropolitan New York section of the ASA met
at Northeastern Collegiate Bible Institute, Essex Falls, New Jersey. A panel on the
implications of birth control techniques was moderated by Howard W. Mattson. Harry
Lubansky of the Ortho Pharmaceutical Company spoke on "Oral Anti-Fertility Drugs:
Past, Present and Future." Dr. Peter G. Berkout and Dr. Chris Reilly spoke on
"Ethical, Social Implications and Medical Comments." A lively discussion ensued between the panelists and those attending the meeting.
After a roast beef dinner, Rev. William F. Schafer, Jr., Minister of the Lutheran
Church of the Good Shepherd, Lindenwald, New Jersey, spoke on the topic, "Psychotherapy and Christianity: Allies and Rivals." As both psychotherapy and the
Christianity deal with the quandries and potential of human beings, they must encounter and hopefully share a dialogue with each other. The approach of psychotherapy was shown to be in substantial agreement with the Biblical view of man. Yet
there are areas of disagreement, for both are based on different philosophical suppositions or world views.
The New York group seems to be able to get away with a business meeting as the opening event of the afternoon. They are laying plans for a joint fall meeting with the
Christian Medical Society, Dr. Chris Reilly stating that CMS has some 70 local members with about 5,000 nationwide. The visiting lecturer committee under Max R.
Ste Harry Lubansky were elected to the executive council. John
D. Haynes, chairman of
the program committee, was responsible for the program of the day and Walter Jim
Neidhardt, Secretary, is to be credited with challenging the rest of the world by
communicating information on this meeting.
HELP WANTED
Gordon College is seeking a person to teach mathematics beginning in the fall of
1966. They want a person with a Ph.D. degree, but will consider one actively pursuing the doctorate. Anyone interested should communicate with the Dean of the College or with Wendell
J.
Caley,
Jr.,
Chairman, Math-Physics Department, Gordon College, 255 Grapevine Road, Wenham, Massachusetts.
Geneva College is continuing in need of personnel in nearly all the areas of interest to the ASA. A particular need of the moment involves someone in the area of
counseling. Contact Dr. Roy M. Adams, Chairman, Chemistry Department, Geneva College, Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.
There is an immediate opening for a Food Technologist or Bacteriologist with the
National Canners Association. This is Peter L. Tan's department who hopes that an
ASA member might become interested. Please write to: Mr. C. B. Denny, Head, Bacteriology Department, National Canners Association, 1133 20th St. N. W., Washington
D. C. 20036.
SIEMENS LEAVES MOODY INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE
But for a good reason - the pursuit of a Ph.D. degree. He will be Assistant Professor in Humanities and Director of the Humanities General Education Program at
Upland College while completing work on his Ph.D., in philosophy, at nearby Claremont College. Upland College is sponsored by the Brethren in Christ. David F.
Siemens is chairman of the Executive Committee of the Southern California section
of the ASA.
The April 1965 issue of The Mathematics Teacher carried an article, "The Mathematics
of the Honeycomb" written by Dave as an outgrowth of the work associated with filming "City of the Bees." He also broke into print by entering into the discussion
on Galileo in a letter to the editor appearing in SCIENCE, VOL. 147, 1 January 1965,
pp. 8-9. He took exception to considering White's, "A History of the Warfare of
Science with Theology in Christendom" an accurate source book.
FEDERATION FILL-IN
In the 10 April 1965 ASA NEWS an announcement was made of the Federation Christian
Fellowship get-together at the Atlantic City meeting of the Federation of American
Societies for Experimental Biology. Well, they really got together. This was the
second year their meeting was listed on the official program. Perhaps it was because the meetings continued through a weekend and the FCF met on a Sunday night,
but about 40 people showed up, only 10 of them being ASA members. These included:
Herman DeHaas James Franzen
Walter Hearn J. C. Kennedy
Gordon Mills Merton A. Pubols
William F. Seip F. A. Sreter
Gilmour L. Wagle A. Kurt Weiss
The FCF now has 174 on their mailing list and this would seem to be an excellent
source of new ASA members. In fact Walt Hearn sent the list of those attending in
to the headquarters office for appropriate follow-up. Kurt Weiss presided at the
meeting and Bob Herrmann spoke briefly on what being a Christian means to him as a
biochemist. Walt would remind all who will be attending the Federation meetings in
Atlantic City next April to remember to consult their programs for time and place of
the next FCF meeting.
OLSON USES FILMS FOR CAMPUS OUTREACH
Dr. Kenneth V. Olson, Associate Professor of Science Education, Colorado State College, and a group of faculty associates are working with Campus Crusade for Christ
in sponsoring a series of Moody science films on nine consecutive Thursday evenings
in the new science building on the campus. A different faculty member will lead a
discussion each evening on the relation of science to Christianity. Film booklets
will be distributed at each showing for added reinforcement and the order of the
films has been carefully arranged for natural development of the various facets of
the gospel message. Dr. Olson has also sent in a list of nine prospective ASA members who will be supplied with information on the ASA, sample copies of the Journal,
etc.
ADAMS EDITS BOOK
Dr. Roy M. Adams, Chairman of the Chemistry Department, Geneva College, is the editor
of the book, Boron, Metallo-Boron Compounds and Boranes, published by John Wiley and
Sons. It is the first of two volumes intended to cover fairly completely the current status of boron chemistry. Dr, Adams, or more properly, Geneva College, has received a three-year grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research for study
of boron hydride chemistry. Breaking away from boron briefly, he also has expressed
gratitude for ASA material as he prepared for speaking to the Beaver Valley Evangelical Fellowship, an area group of evangelical laymen and ministers, on "A Scientist's
View of Creation."
IN QUEST OF EXCELLENCE
Dr. Wallace A. Erickson is an organic chemist and President of Wallace A. Erickson
& Co. operating in that field. He also heads The Erickson Foundation which is currently sponsoring a very interesting program for the development of Christian leadership. The objective of this program is to encourage the pursuit of excellence in
Christian leadership by encouraging young Christians to aspire to excellence, to
assist them in the development of a Christian view of the contemporary world, to
enable them more effectively to articulate their faith and its contemporary relevance and to aid them in reaching positions of leadership in the fields for which
their talents best equip them. The immediate program calls for the recruitment of
10 outstanding young Christians during this summer, from senior year of high school
to the final year of graduate school. Those selected will register for a five-week
summer leadership seminar program sponsored by the foundation. The first four weeks
will be geared to a study of theology at the Institute of Christian Studies in
Colorado Springs under such leading Christian thinkers as Dr. Emile Cailliet, Dr.
Paul K. Jewett and Dr. Bernard L. Ramm. Guidance will be offered trainees on a continuing basis through the years. Those interested in participating in this program
should write to Mr. Alec Mackenzie, Vice President, The Erickson Foundation, 842
North Wells Street, Chicago, Illinois 60610.
ARCHES OF SCIENCE
The Pacific Science Center Foundation of Seattle has created The Arches of Science
Award to recognize outstanding contributions by individuals to understanding in
America of the meaning of science by contemporary man. The Jury may select individuals from any profession or walk of life and will look to sustained accomplishment and not alone to a single work or achievement. It will consider contributions
that embrace the ends and values as well as the substance of scientific work. It
will give weight to contributions by action as well as by word, by example as well
as by precept, The individual to be honored may have promoted invention in the
formal modes of teaching or innovated new channels of communication between the community of science and the community-at-large.
A cash sum of $25,000 and a gold medal go to the one selected. It is possible that
ASA members might want to consider the nomination of someone for this honor. To do
so, the name, address and affiliation of the person to be nominated should be sent
to the Arches of Science Award, Pacific Science Center Foundation, 200 2nd Avenue
North, Seattle, Washington 98109, with a 2 or 3 page statement summarizing the accomplishments of the nominee and the reasons he is being nominated. Nominations
close 15 June. The 1965 presentation will be made in Seattle on 21 October 1965.
PSYCHOLOGY
AT WESTMONT
The Psychology Department of Westmont College, Santa Barbara, California, has received a grant of $3,100 from the National Science Foundation under the Undergraduate
Instructional Scientific Equipment Program. This has been augmented by a Senior
Class gift of $2,000 which will further help in the purchase of equipment for introductory courses in psychology and statistics. The work in this department is carried on by
Dr. C. Eug ne Walker and Michael Mecherikoff.
HOW MUCH DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE ASA?
Does your interest in the ASA stop with scanning the Journal or NEWS? Or attending an occasional sectional meeting or convention? Do you like the Christian fellowship of fellow scientists only, or is there a deeper appreciation
of the big job that is being done in developing a Christian philosophy of
science and of purifying the views of the Christian community in regard to
science and of influencing young Christians entering fields of science? Are
these things worth while? It would seem that the significant growth and
maturing that has taken place over the past 24 years and the present membership of more than 1400 would indicate favorable answers to the above questions. But if 1400 dedicated members cannot easily sustain an annual budget
of $15,000, something is really wrong.
The Executive Council has been forced to resort to a bank loan of $1500 (of
which $1300 still remains) in order to carry on the bare minimum level of
program. Numerous appeals have been made for contributions over and above
dues, but only about $2100 was received during the past year and this from
a tiny handful.
If the average annual income of our 1400 members were only $7000 this would
mean that the tithe would amount to $1 million. A portion of this tithe should
go to the ASA as a worthy missionary effort in an age saturated by science.
Let's send our contributions in to ' Harold Hartzler right now so that this part
,of the Lord's vineyard might flourish and bear much spiritual fruit. Address:
325 Brett Building, Mankato, Minnesota.
YAMOUCHI AWARDED GRANT
Dr. Edwin Yamouchi, Assistant Professor of History at Rutgers, New Brunswick, N. J.,
has been awarded a $1000 summer fellowship for research in magical texts of the
ancient Near East. He has been very busy in his chosen field. An article, "Tammuz
and the Bible", will appear in a forthcoming issue of The Journal of Biblical Literature. He and his wife have enjoyed their first year at Rutgers and have organized
a graduate Christian Fellowship with other interested persons. They meet once per
month and average about 24 in attendance. In addition to association with IVCF, he
has tried, with Dr. Earl Ellis to reactivate a faculty fellowship. What was lacking
in attendance was made up for in fruitfulness of the discussions. Lectures on the
Dead Sea Scrolls have opened many opportunities for speaking to Jewish organizations
and topics such as "Origins of Gnosticism" and "Greco-Semitic Contacts Before Alexander the Great" have been presented to New Brunswick Theological Seminary, Evangelical Theological Society, etc.
VAN DER ZIEL SPECIAL
A Fellow of the ASA, Dr. Aldert van der Ziel, has written two books of interest to
ASA members and friends. "The Natural Sciences and the Christian Message" shows
that the natural sciences and the Christian message are neither in harmony nor in
conflict but are radically different. "Genesis and Scientific Inquiry" compares the
Biblical statements in Genesis 1-12 about creation with what is held to be true in
science. The author shows how a fresh approach to Old Testament exegesis has tended
to overcome some earlier theological ideas connected with obsolete scientific ideas.
There has been a considerable amount of discussion of and some disagreement with Dr.
van der Ziel's books within the ASA. This is a good healthy condition which helps
in formulating one's own views. The publisher is making a special offer to ASA
members: each of the above titles, normally selling for $4.50 may be obtained for
$3.50 each by specifying that you belong to the ASA. (Then send the $1.00 you save
to Headquarters!). T. S. Denison and Co. Inc., 321 Fifth Avenue South, Minneapolis,
Minnesota 55415.

Ronald M. Enroth is writing his dissertation and hopes to have all his requirements
for the Ph.D. completed by this fall but admits that Ph.D. committees are notorious
at prolonging this last painful phase of the "graduate grind." The dissertation
research, in the field of sociology, has been aided by a grant from the Health Information Foundation of Chicago. Topic: "Patterns of Response to Rural Medical
Practice and Rural Life in Kentucky: Implications for the Distribution of Physicians." He will be going West to accept a teaching position in the Sociology Department at Westmont College, Santa Barbara, California.
Robert B. Fischer draws upon his considerable experience in the organization of a
school of science (California State College at Palos Verdes) to comment upon the
writings of others on the subject in a letter to the editor of SCIENCE; I January
1965, page 9 (Vol. 147).
Virgil H. Freed, Professor of Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, Oregon State
University, was a co-author on three papers read before the Northwest Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society held in Corvallis, Oregon, 14-15 June 1965.
Wayne Frair, Associate Professor of Biology, The King's College, states, "I like
that letter written by S. Hugh Paine and felt very much in agreement with it. I
thought a lot about the situation of Jerry Albert and was intending to write, but
never did. Recently I saw a dissertation of a doctoral candidate at MIT who had a
testimony in his acknowledgements. I had wanted to do something of the sort in my
Masters thesis, but my advisor was opposed to it on what I felt were very reasonable
grounds." Now all we have to do is to find out what these "very reasonable grounds"
are!
Lars I. Granberg of Hope College is an associate editor of a "Dictionary of Practical Theology" to be published by Baker Book House in 1966. Dr. Granberg is
now
Acting Vice-President of Hope College, having been director of the Counseling Center
at that school.
Stuart Harverson, a missionary to Viet Nam, was riding in a plane which was hit by
Communist fire but landed safely. In March he baptized 120 believers, all of more
than two years' standing, in the stream near Ha-Bec. It was rather shallow - the
Communists hold the deeper water further downstream!
Russell H. Heddendorf, now in the Sociology Department of Geneva College, is making
a great contribution to campus intellectual and Spiritual life, according to colleague
E2LIdams.
Robert H. Johnson) Engineer with Boeing Aircraft in New Orleans, was in Los Angeles
recently in the capacity of contract supervisor. He is working on a special camera
that operates inside the liquid oxygen tanks of rockets to study the functioning of
critical devices, looking around corners by the assistance of bundles of quartz
fibers.
Willis M. Kaufman appreciated the squib in ASA NEWS about his looking for a job on
his return to the states, but now he will not be returning until July-August, 1966.
There's just no one to replace him in teaching science at Qua Iboe Secondary School,
Etinan via Uyo, Eastern Nigeria. He is the "Senior Science Master" with oversight
of the whole science department in a school of 310 boys and 60 girls, all boarding
students.
David C. Lindberg has been awarded the Ph.D. from the Department of History and
Philosophy of,Science, Indiana University. His dissertation was an edition and
translation of a 13th-century optical work. Dr. Lindberg has accepted an appointment as Assistant Professor of History at the University of Michigan.
Dr. Melvin J. Loewen, an ASA member, recently visited the national office. Dr.
Loewen has recently been elected President of the Universite Libre du Congo. He
and his family are in the States awaiting the time when they will be able to return
to the Congo. They were among those who were taken captive by the rebels last fall
but whose lives were spared.
Dr. Loewen stated that the Congo now has three universities. One is a Catholic university, the second a state university and the third a Protestant university, of
which he is President. All three of these universities are on the national budget
and are members of what is called the Inter-University Commission. The university
of which Dr. Loewen is President, is looking for staff members in all areas for
September 1966. Any ASA member interested, or if you know someone else who would
be interested, should contact Dr. Loewen, Box 123, Leopoldville, Congo. At present
the staff comes from the following countries: Congolese, Germany, Belgium, United
States, Canada, Great Britain, Scandanavia, and France. This year they have only a
Freshman and Sophomore class but are looking to a four year college is two more
years.
Dr. Loewen stated that the political situation is very encouraging. The economic
situation is better and missionaries are now most welcome to the Congo. In order to
teach at the university one must be able to speak the French language so this is an
invitation for ASA members to start brushing up on their French.
Edmund W. Lowe, President, Edwal Scientific Products Corp. of Chicago, has compiled
his many experiences in business to show how the Lord has had a very definite hand
in his business affairs through the years. "I believe that to any Christian who
obeys the Lord's commands, the Lord gives guidance and help in every detail, be it
in the spiritual or material realm", says Dr. Lowe. Those wanting copies should
write to him, 11042 South Emerald Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.

was one of three panelists on "Psychotherapy and Spiritual Values" published in
Christianity Today, July 2, 1965.
Bernard Ramm, Honorary Fellow of ASA, sends a postcard from Oxford, England, depicting the beautiful old coach Inn in which they are staying. Their neighbors are the
Richard Bube's of Stanford University and the Zandrino's of Argentina. These and
others are attending the International Conference on Science and Christianity sponsored by the Research Scientists' Christian Fellowship. Alta Ramm writes that she
"is not sure whether they are taking the world apart or putting it together" but it
is a very enjoyable experience.
Robert L. Rasera received the Ph.D. Degree in nuclear structure physics at Purdue
