3 Library Associates reprinting book The Marshall University Library Associates organization is publishing a limited edition of "Personal Recollections of Private John Henry Cammack: A Soldier of the Confederacy, ," which was first published in Huntington in 1920 by Paragon Printing. Dr. Kenneth T. Slack, executive secretary of the organization and Confederate bibliographer for the Marshall University libraries, said the book was written by Cammack at the urging of his family and friends. He called Free speech forum set (Continued from page 1) practices and served as senior editor of the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review and Law and Contemporary Problems. ''This forum represents a small part of the university's efforts to examine the complex issues of free speech and hate speech,'' said Dr. Cleckley. The forum will be open to the public free of charge. It is being sponsored by Marshall University's Office of Multicultural Affairs, Commission on Multiculturalism, Classified Staff Council, Faculty Senate, Student Government Association, Black United Students and Office of Student Affairs. Honors director named (Continued from page 1) maintaining the program's budget, planning and administering an academic program, maintaining a student and scholarship database, advising John Marshall scholars, participating in freshman orientation and SCORES, recruiting high school seniors, coordinating and reporting to the Honors Council, planning and coordinating the Honors Convocation and generally maintaining a high profile for the Honors Program. Dr. Mcinerney will succeed Dr. Donna J. Spindel, professor of history, who will complete a three-year tenure as Honors director in May. Degrees to be awarded (Continued from page 1) co-authored or edited 32 books and more than 80 scholarly articles. He served as editor of the National Geographic Society's "National Geographic Research: A Scientific Journal." De Blij was a central figure in the so-called ''Miami Exposure" of geographic illiteracy in America which led to U.S. Senate hearings and a joint resolution of Congress establishing /1 Geography Awareness Week. /1 Marshall expects to award more than 1,800 degrees at the May 11 Commencement. Page 2 it an exciting account of a boy soldier facing the personal and national agony of the war between the states. The original book is one of the rarest items in the confederate experience and is sought by collectors throughout the country, according to Slack. Approximately 50 copies of the book were printed in When he was 17 years old, Cammack and his 23-yearold brother joined the Confederate army. Cammack's brother was killed approximately three months later. "John Henry Cammack was very proud of his service, /1 said Slack. "It wasn't a slavery issue with him. It was about states' rights and, as he saw the situation, about the same issues fought for in the Revolutionary War. "Private Cammack understood, and articulated, tr<> southern striving for state and individual rights and freedoms and his words carry conviction even to this day." Slack said the MU Library Associates could not have found a more appropriate volume to be the organization's first keepsake edition. "In it is revealed the spirit which drove Huntington's first families to tremendous civic and professional accomplishment," Slack said. "John Henry Cammack effectively communicated his community concerns to succeeding generations of his family. "It really is a good book. He tells about one experience after another and there isn't one that doesn't just set you on the edge of your seat." Cammack was the great-great-grandfather of William C. Campbell of Huntington, a former chairman of the MU Library Associates. The Marshall University Library Associates was formed to provide support for Marshall's libraries, enhance the prestige and service of the institution and, in so doing, advance the cultural and economic status of the Tri-State region. The pre-publication cost of the book will be $16. After publication the cost will be $20. To order copies or obtain further details contact Slack at Marshall University's James E. Morrow Library, Faculty wives to meet The Marshall University Faculty Wives Club will meet for a spring luncheon on Saturday, May 4, at noon in the Shawkey Room in Memorial Student Center.

5 Cotntnittee endorses recotntnendations (The following summary of the April 11 meeting of the Marshall University Academic Standards and Curricula Review Committee was submitted by Dagmar Weill, secretary.) The Academic Standards and Curricula Review Committee met April 11. Dr. Wendell Dobbs presented the report of the Curriculum Subcommittee. Several course Library Committee meets (The following report on the April 9 meeting of the Marshall University Library Committee was submitted by Sara B. Staats, secretary.) The Library Committee met Tuesday, April 9, at 2 p.m. with James Douglass, chairman, presiding. Ten members were present and seven members were absent. The main agenda item was the library's Mission Statement which was prepared by the librarians during the year. Josephine Fidler, director of libraries, presided over the discussion of the statement and its implications. The Mission Statement is a stand-alone document to be used by the library as a foundation for its goals, objectives and programs. Several suggestions were made by committee members and noted by Ms. Fidler for further consideration. Input also will be sought from the provost and the Faculty Senate. Dr. Douglass will send a letter to department chairs requesting them to discuss with their faculties what their perception of the library is and what new directions they think the library should be taking. These will be discussed at the next meeting of the committee, which will be held Tuesday, April 30, at 2 p.m. Election of officers will be held during the meeting. Homecoming event scheduled In anticipation of the 21st anniversary of the Marshall Catholic Community and the 10th anniversary of the Marshall Newman Center, an open house and mass are being planned in conjunction with Marshall University Homecoming activities next Nov. 2. Father Bill Petro of the Newman Center is requesting that all Marshall alumni, current students and former Marshall Catholic Community members contact him at the Newman Center, 1609 Fifth Ave., or call A mailing list is being compiled so those planning to attend can be mailed up-to-date information. Dyer elected to board Shirley S. Dyer, assistant director of printing services in the Marshall University Publications Office, was the winner of the April 23 Classified Staff election to determine the Classified Staff representative to the Marshall University Institutional Board of Advisors. Her term on the board will begin May 1, Page 4 additions and deletions were recommended for approval. Dr. Edwina Pendarvis presented the report of the Standards Subcommittee. They discussed the discrepancy between the graduate and undergraduate policy on seniors' eligibility for enrollment in graduate courses. The committee recommended for approval the adoption of the graduate college policy permitting seniors with a 3.0 or better grade point average to enroll in graduate courses. The second issue was a request to consider a new policy requiring faculty members to submit their syllabi to be kept on file with the appropriate chairperson. Rationale: Such a procedure would avoid problems arising as a result if faculty members are not available when their syllabi are needed-for example during grade appeals or accreditation visits. The committee endorses the recommendation that instructors must file a copy of their syllabi with the chairperson during the first two weeks of each semester class (three days of summer term). Summer School Issue: Several faculty members had recommended to lengthen individual summer school classes by 26 minutes so as to reduce the summer school week to four days. The motion was defeated. Withdrawal Policy: The policy was vetoed by the president. The committee discussed the concerns of the president relating to this policy. Some changes were made and the Withdrawal Policy will be resubmitted to the Faculty Senate for approval.

7 Aulick research may help burn victims A Marshall University School of Medicine researcher is on the trail of a molecule in the blood that may sof''" day improve burn victims' chances of survival. Dr. Louis H. Aulick, professor of physiology, is working under a $34,000 grant from the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command to locate and analyze a molecule beneved responsible for suppressing the immune systems of burn victims. The immune systems of all burn patients fa il to go into action, according to Medical researchers honored Three research projects by medical students, residents and faculty were singled out for honors at the Marshall University School of medicine's Fourth Annual Research Dav. The program, held A pril 9 at the Holiday Inn-Gateway in Barboursville, featured 52 presentations describing the work of 111 researchers. Project categories were basic science, clinical science, and clinical case studies. Prize winners received a plaque and cash award.. 1 is P. Salazar, a Ph.D. candidate in microbiology Grafton, won the award for best basic science atio n. Her project, co-authored by Dr. Terry W. h _ ---i, associate professor of microbioloqy, was ''Characterization of Genes Determining H erpes Simplex Virus Type-1 Ocular Disease Patterns." Jaime Hernandez, M.D., a resident who holds a fellowship in infectious diseases, won the prize fo r best clinical case stud y. Hernandez' s project was "Successful Treatment of Post-Traumatic Candida Myocarditis with Surgery and Amphot ricin B followed by Long Term Su ppressi n Therapy with Fluconazole." Co-authors were Dr. Haytham Jabi, assistant professor of medicine, and Dr. Lorenzo Gonzales-Lavin, professor of surgery. Glaxo, Inc., a pharmaceu tical company, sponsored the clinical case study award. Cynthia Gonzalez, M.D., a resident with a fellowship in pulmonary medicine, won the Lester R. Bryant, M.D., Research Award for Clinical Science. Her project was titled " An Evaluation of Plmax and PEmax as Predictors f Postoperative Pulmonary Complications.'' Co-authors were Dr. Kuldeep Pandit, associate professor of medicine; Dr. Nancy Munn, associate professor of medicine; Dr. Ma11 0i Ma jmudar, formerly at Marshall under a pulmonan 1edicine fe llowship; and Henry K. Driscoll, assistan t professor of medicine. The clinical science award honors Bryant, the former medical school dean who instituted Research Day at Marshall. Newsletter deadline Items for the Marshall University Newsletter must be submitted to the University Relations Office by 10 a.m. Tuesday in order to be published the following Thursday. Lengthy items should be submitted as early as possible to ensure publication. Page 6 Aulick, and it is infection rather than burns that often leads to death. By studying the blood of burned laboratory rats Aulick has already isolated what he believes is the inhibitor to interleukin-1, a powerful substance critically important in the body's response to injury and disease. ''lnterleukin-1 serves to actuate almost the entire immune system," Aulick said. "If anything blocks interleukin-1 the immune system is depressed." The target of the pilot study is to determine what the inhibitor is and how it acts. Aulick plans to seek an additional Army grant this spring to accomplish the next step, which is to get the inhibitor in a pure enough state o that it can be synthesized in the laboratory. His findings may have research implications beyond the burn response itself. An inhibitor with char acteristics similar to the one under study in Aulick's lab is known to block interleukin-1 in AIDS patients, he said. In addition, Aulick has found some of the inhibitor in the blood of control animals. "The inhibitor may be part of the normal control process of interleukin-1, and we may be seeing a normal control mechanism much accentuated in burns," he said. "We are at the frontier of knowledge at the molecular level." Purification and synthesis of the inhibitor are crucial for th further study needed before any clinical applications of his w ork are p ssible. " lf we can produce pure inhibitor, we can then make an antibody to counte.ract it," Aulick explained. The next step would be to administer the antibody to burned rats, then watch for fever and other signs that the inhibitor was no longer suppressing the immune system. Clinical trials with humans wo ujd come later. Aulick has experience working directly with human burn patients. He came to the Marshall University School of Medicine in 1984 following nearly ten years at the Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas where burn victims from all over the country are treated. He worked as a researcher in the center's burn unit. The Army has continued to support Aulick's research at Marshall, awarding him $123,000 in 1987 to study the metabolic rates of burn victims. Aulick received a Ph.D. in physiology and biochemistry and an M. A. in ph 1siolog from Indiana University. He also has undergraduate degrees from Willjam and Mary and the Medical College of Virginia.
