; A human individual is not created instantly at the
tjme of fertilization but is developed "through a
process extended over time, according to Clifford
(irobstein, professor of biological science and public
policy in the department of science, technology and
public affairs at the University of California at San
Diego.
: Grobstein spoke to an audience of about 200 people
on the topic, "Science and the Unborn," Monday at
$ p.m. in Hamilton Hall. He is the second Michael
Polanyi lecturer to speak at the University.
. i Professor Emeritus Waldo E. Haisley, of UNC's
Separtement of physics and astronomy, established
the biennial Michael Polanyi Lectures in the History
$nd Philosophy of Natural Science in 1981 as a
faemorial to his parents, Waldo Emerson Haisley and
Arietta Melissa Mendenhall Haisley. Polanyi, whose
memory is honored in the lectures, was a Polish
Scientist who was concerned with relating science to
Society.
I Grobstein, a member of the National Academy of
Sciences, American Academy of Arts and Sciences
and the Institute of Medicine, has written extensively
n the question of when life begins in the development
of the human being. He also has studied the ethical
aspects of test-tube babies and the possibility of curing
diseases such as sickle-cell anemia through gene
therapy.
J The status of the unborn for a long time has
remained a mystery, Grobstein said. But advances
in medical technology, as well as the political battle
over abortion policy, have caused scientists to
confront this mystery, he said.
"In scientific terms, at least six aspects of
individuality must be achieved through the course of
(the embryo's) development," Grobstein said.
These aspects are genetic, developmental, func
tional, behavioral, psychic and social individuality,
he said.
In reference to genetic individuality, no life begins
on earth today, but a new generation with a new
genetic make-up arises through fertilization, Grob
stein said.
"A fertilized egg given a supportive environment
has a good possibility of becoming an individual like
you and me," he said. . . . But a zygote (fertilized
egg) is no more equal to (a fully developed human
being) than an acorn is to a handsome-spreading oak
tree."
Grobstein said genetic individuality could not be
equated with the. singleness of the zygote, because
the zygote as evidenced in mouse studies and in
the case of human twins "could be expressed in
one, less than one or more than one genetic offspring."
So even in humans, what is present in the mother's
uterus after fertilization is more of a pre-embryo than
an embryo, Grobstein said. The genetic singleness of
the individual is not established until later
developmentally, not genetically, Grobstein said.
The functional individuality of the embryo depends
on the development of the neurala plate, the precurser
to the central nervous system, Grobstein said. Minimal
functional individuality can be said to be achieved
by the end of the eighth week of pregnancy, when
most people would be able to recognize the human
features of an embryo, such as the eyes, nose and
ears, he said.
Behavioral individuality, the embryo's ability to

Someday, students may sec thousands of Carolina blue
balloons released from the hands of thousands of Carolina
blue-clad fans at Kenan Stadium.
Such is the hope of the UNC Cheerleaders, Mikeman
Jeff Taylor and the Sweet Carolines, who serve as hostesses
for athletes being recruited by UNC.
"We're interested in promoting school spirit," said
Annetta Stokes, a senior and co-chairwoman of publicity
for the Sweet Carolines. "We'd like to encourage students
to wear Carolina blue. We go to other schools and they
are just maniacs about wearing school colors."
Paula Wiggins, a senior varsity cheerleader, said:
"Wearing Carolina blue is a way for everyone to show
support without saying a word. The fans don't realize
the impact they have on the game."
The Sweet Carolines sell Carolina blue balloons for
25 cents before football games. They also give tours and
answer questions for prospective athletes, their parents
and high school coaches.
Taylor also supports the idea of fans wearing Carolina
blue, especially for the games against Clemson and Duke,
whose fans dress in school colors.
"As far as I'm concerned, the crowd needs to understand
that although Carolina football has not been strong in
the past few years, crowd support means a lot to the
players," Taylor said. "It's important to make a lot of
noise. Other schools and universities are said not to have
the class that Carolina has. Carolina is a class operation
but having class doesnt mean you can't get rowdy."

respond and interact with its environment, can be
detected in the sixth week of pregnancy with an
ultrasonograph, an instrument that produces images
on a television-like monitor by emitting electrons and
high-frequency sound waves, Grobstein said.
More advanced behaviors such as hiccuping and
sucking can be seen two to six weeks later.
Although the central nervous system has developed ,
to the point where the embryo can move, Grobstein
said, it has not developed to the point where the
embryo can be consciously aware of its environment.
; Since the senses have not developed fully enough
at this stage to support inner experience, the psychic
individuality of the embryo cannot develop until later,
he said. More research is needed to determine how
much later psychic individuality begins, Grobstein
said.'-1 i.
Social individuality depends on the individual's
ability to interact and react with other individuals
in the environment, Grobstein said. He did not go
into much detail about the embryo's social individ
uality, because he said that was a social decision rather
than a biological or scientific decision.
During a question and answer period after the
lecture, a member of the audience asked Grobstein
for his opinion of the anti-abortion film The Silent
Scream. Grobstein said he thought the film was a
"gross exaggeration of the observations."
When asked where he would draw the line as to
when abortion was allowable, Grobstein said he could
only guess that in terms of the embryo's sentience
(lowest, most generalized form of conciousness),
abortion during the first three months of pregnacy
would not involve any inner experience on the part
of the embryo. .

Jigsaws to open on Wanklin St.
By ELISA TURNER
Staff Writer
There will be a new face on Franklin
Street pretty soon. Jigsaws, a full-menu
restaurant, will replace Mexican Under
ground. The new restaurant is sche
duled to open October 21.
Don McLennan, Mexican Under
ground owner and partner in Jigsaws,
said that the Mexican restaurant was
doing "marginal business" and was
"borderline financially." He needed to
find a new investor to share expenses,
he said.
"I heard Karen Thompson was
interested in investing, so we got
together and decided on a different type
of restaurant," McLennan said.
"Jigsaws will be more like Four Corners
and Spanky's."
Jigsaws will offer a luncheon menu,
including sandwiches, soup and salad,
and a dinner menu featuring marinated
steak and chicken. For late-nighters, the
restaurant will have a bar-type atmos
phere with assorted beverages and
snacks.
"Personally, I think Jigsaws will do
much better because of the type of
atmosphere we're striving for," McLen
nan said. "We're aiming for the student
market, the same as Mexican Under
ground, but it will probably appeal
more to seniors and graduate students,"
he said.
McLennan described prices as very
competitive with other full-menu res
taurants located nearby.
