Science Grants
The National Science Foun
dation has announced the
award of $95,190 to three units
of the University to help
strengthen science programs.
The awards were part of
$11.4 million given to 376 col
leges and universities.
The amount to each of the
UNC institutions is: UNC, $42,
554; UNC-G, $10,774; and N.C.
State, $41,862.
The funds can be used for
science education, research or
both, just so they are used to
meet the direct costs of sci
entific activities.

IINC Study Team To Explore
W orld Population Problems
By JULIA PARKER
Tar Heel Staff Writer
Would a lower birth rate
solve polution problems in com
plex societies? How would the
skills," education, earning pow
er and social achievement of
the nation's labor force be af
fected by smaller families?
What would be the economic
impact of a sudden decrease
in population?
UNC has set up a Univer-.
sity - wide team to dig out the
answers to these and . other
questions raised by the phe
nominal growth of the world's
population and problems of the
United States in particular.
Subsidies are now being
sought, from, the Ford Founda
tion, USAID, and National In
stitute of Health to cover a
portion of faculty salaries in
the anticipated $1 million per
year budget.
Planning for the program be
gan last year. Operations will
begin this fall on a limited
scale, and the program is ex
pected to be in full swing by
the fall of 1966.
Dr. John B. Graham, head
of the committee on popula
tion studies and professor of
pathology at the Medical
School here, points to the rap
idly declining resources and
expanding polution problems
of the U. S. as areas of urgent
interest.
"Currently the U. S. is using
50 per cent of the world's re
sources while we have only 10
per cent of the world's popu
lation. "We are now running low
on such irreplaceable materi
als as oil and contaminating
useful resources with indispos
able wastes of production. At
the same time the developing
countries are demanding more
of the world resources for their
expanding economies.
"There just isn't enough at
present to supply everybody in
definitely. "We've got to find ways of
making population control pro
grams acceptable to people in
order to combat the popula
tion explosion. This is the main
emphasis of our studies de
velopment of effective pro
grams through statistical re
search and field studies, and
training of personnel to carry
them out."
Graham also noted that the
School of Public Health has
been doing studies on polution
and on operation of public
health community programs
which will be valuable to the

populations program.
Graham said the Tar Heel
State has nearly ideal condi
tions for such studies:
(1) All county health depart
ments offer contraceptive .
methods and information on
family planning.
(2) North Carolina is the
only state which permits steril
ization to be used for other
than strictly medical grounds.
(3) The close communication
of specialists available within
UNC, at Duke and N. C. State,
and in the research Triangle .
Institute. ' -
(4) The wide variety of ge
ographical, environmental, ra
cial and ethnic factors avail
able for population samples
and model programs.. . . .
"Rural white Americans and
the urban middleclass are pri
mary centers of emphasis in
our plans," Graham said. -
"It is the rural man in our
country who" has the most dif
ficulty earning a living and
educating his children. The ur
ban middleclass is also begin
ning to feel the pressure of
city living costs coupled with
the expense of college."
Graham also pointed out that
North Carolina Negroes are
one of the biggest challenges
the program faces.
This group, he notes, is
trapped in a low income level
by the cost of raising large
families, often with only one
parent to keep the family go
ing. Children forced to drop
out of school to help support
the family haven't a chance
for any sort of well - paying
job.
"The key to all these prob
lems is getting the population
to use birth conrroi methods
and keep the family size down
to a level where the children
are well - fed and educated."
Education, says Graham, is
the solution to the nation's
present bind of unemployment
and poverty in the presence of
plenty. But education is ex
pensive, he points out, and
smaller families would result
in a higher percentage educat
ed than are now because of
that expense.
Spreading information about
birth control is therefore a top
priority project.
Pilot Programs
Pilot field programs have
been in operation for some
years under the auspices of the
school of Public Health and
Department of Sociology, and
in the individual research of
UNC faculty members. For the
past 25 years the School of
Sociology has done work xn
studies of population size, den
sity, distribution and vital sta
tistics. Dr. Bernard G. Greenberg,
head of the Biostatistics De
partment, has done research in
measuring the extent of use of
contraceptives and their im
pact on the community. In the
Medical School Dr. Charles E.
Flowers, professor of obstetrics
and gynecology, did extensive
work in the development of
oral contraceptives, Graham
said.
All are on the planning com
mittee and prospective faculty
for the program.
Others on the committee in
clude Drs. Charles E. Bower
man, Daniel O. Price, and Ru
pert B. ance, all of the Insti
tute of Research in Sociology;
and Drs. Sidney S. Chipman
and John T. Gentry of the
School of Public Health.
Dr. Moye Freymann of the
Ford Foundation's population
program in India will arrive
in July to take a professorship
in the School of Public Health.
The starting faculty for next
fall is anticipated to total more
than 30.
Foreign Students
September will see the ar
rival of the first group of for
eign students who will be
trained in short courses and
graduate degree programs to
apply contraceptive methods
and community planned-family
programs in their own coun
tries.
Graham expects knowledge
gleaned from the resulting ex-.
change of ideas from these stu
dents and from anticipated in -the-field
studies both in this
country and abroad to be a
valuable asset. India", Iran and ;
Thailand are listed as possible -locations
for field studies. ' ' -
Projected plans for model
family planning clinics are to '
promote the use of intrauterine",
devices because of their - low
cost and simple " methods r in
volved in their use. - .
i Known technically as Lippes '
loops, these devices have been
used very successfully; accord- '
ing to Graham, in Puerto Rico
community programs.
In evaluating the success of
these programs and attitudes
blocking acceptance of contra
ceptive methods, UNC will
have access to surveys con
ducted by the North Carolina
Fund (the anti - poverty pro
gram). "Virtually every school and
department of the University
will be involved in these stu
dies," says Graham.
"We expect to have the
School of Radio, TV and Mo
tion Pictures to help develop
educational films for teaching
use here and for public infor
mation. The School of Religion
and Philosophy would likely be
called upon to supplement so
ciology with comparative re
ligion studies to determine mo
tives for acceptance or rejec
tion of a technique in various
cultures. We'll find economics
a great help in statistics and
measuring the relationship of
population to business welfare.
"The list is practically limit
less." UNC will make available the
findings of its studies and the
services of its faculty to gov
ernmental and non-governmental
agencies both in the United
States and overseas.
This will be done on a con
sultation basis.
"When we look back at this
program 10 years from now,"
Graham said, "I think we will
find that our most important
contribution has been training
people and the dissimination
of knowledge. This population
study is a good illustration of
how vitally involved a univer
sity must be these days in all
! areas of national life."
Gets Fellowship
James Ray Hall of Sanford,
a rising junior in the School
of Pharmacy has been chosen
as a Mead Johnson Undergrad
uate Research Fellow for 1965
66. He is one of eight such
fellows in the nation.
He was selected from appli
cants consisting of honor roll
students and students gifted in
chemistry and mathematics.
All applicants are enrolled in
the pharmacy school's five -year
program.
The fellowship is financed by
a $1,000 grant to Dr. George
H. Cocolas of the pharmacy
faculty.
The grant was made by the
American Association of Col
leges of Pharmacy with funds
from Mead Johnson Labora
tories of Evansville, Ind.
His research work will be
done here at the pharmacy
school. .
