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

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. Hurok, will present one of the leading Lyceum Concerts of the year at Taylor University on March 8, Thursday.

He holds the A.B. degree from Bethel College, the S.T.B. degree from Biblical Seminary in New York, and the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from New York Uni versity.
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.

Odlemen Take Tourneys; Win Ten Straight Games
The Taylor basketball team, taking up where the championship football team left off, fashioned ten straight wins without defeat, through December 12. This skein included two tournament championships — both the Earlham and Taylor Tourneys, and a 79-73 conquest of powerful Calvin.
Trailing 38-31 at half-time, the Odle men pulled away from the Calvin Knights with a devastating long-shot bar rage by Ray Durham and some close-up fireworks by Billy Hwang, Don Schwarz kopf, Moose Paul and company. Paul was named "most valuable player" in the Richmond Tourney, while senior Tim Diller took individual honors in the Taylor meet.
The Trojans will have their hands full the rest of the season facing un usually strong Hoosier Conference com petition, plus several well-respected out side challengers.
