BO FISH ALSO SUFFER?
Marine Fishes Specialist
Aids Arthritis Research
An Aggie researcher whose spe-
tiality is large marine fishes has
teamed up in a basic research
project with medical researchers
studying rhematoid arthritis, a
painful and incurable disease.
Learning everything possible
ibout the biochemistry complex in
the vertebra or joints of the fishes
found in the Gulf of Mexico is
the goal, Norman Vick explains.
He is a member of the Department
of Oceanography and Meteorology
research staff.
The medical researchers are
members of the University of Ala
bama Medical Center’s Division of
Rheumatology, a national center
for the study of rheumatism and
arthritis. Dr. Howard L. Holley
directs the division, which has
financial support from the National
Institute of Health.
THE BASIC research may lead
to clues of benefit to human beings,
Vick learned during recent con
ferences with the Alabama scient
ists.
“We can contribute to the medi
cal field, as well as learn some
thing about the migratory species
through this new cooperative stu
dy,” Vick said.
The researcher has devoted more
than five years to studies of the
large fishes found in the Gulf of
Mexico and North Atlantic. His
interest centers upon two major
factors: the biochemical relation
ships to environment and the mi
gratory habits of these big “ani
mals,” as Vick calls them.
PRELIMINARY conslusions from
the cooperative study should be
available late next spring, Vick
believes.
Attention is centered upon the,
small amount of fluid, especially
hydraluronic acid, found in the
spinal joints of the large speci
mens of marlin, sailfish and com
parable fishes.
This fluid is the same as that
found in the synovial cavities of
a human, Vick explained.
PERSONS SUFFERING from
rheumatoid arthritis lack this
fluid, or it may be present in a
degenerate state.
Do large marine fishes ever suf
fer from arthritis ?
“We can’t tell positively, but if
they do they probably die quickly
due to the rugged competition for
life in the sea,” Vick said.
There is “some possibility” that
the fishes regenerate the fluid,
something the human body cannot
do.

Business Is Good
At Business School
Business is business and for the
School of Business Administration,
business is good. Modernization
currently underway in the school
of business will affect a great
many students.
“One out of every seven students
is a business mapor,” said Dr. John
E. Pearson, head of the school.
Besides increased enrollment and
major curriculum changes in the
school, its campus organizations
are also displaying the new look.
Two new organizations have been
formed, along with a committee
headed by R. L. Elkins, associate
professor of business administra
tion, to promote better co-ordi
nation among the five existing
societies.
The Management Society and
Finance Society are the newcomers
to campus life. Both are still in
the organizational stage, having
presently drawn up by-laws for
approval by their memberships.
THE PURPOSE of the five busi
ness clubs is to bring their student
members closer to their particular
chosen fields. Elkins said that
each club will try to arrange to
have a top level executive speak at
the campus each semester.
Elkins and W. C. House, assist
ant professor of business adminis
tration, co-sponsor the Manage
ment Society and R. T. Cherry,
assistant professor of business ad
ministration, are sponsors the Fi
nance Society. Allen Lawrence,
Jr. and George Nelson, respectively,
were elected student presidents of
the two new societies.
The Management Society, Fi
nance Society, Accounting Society,
Marketing Society, and Insurance
Society are the existing student
business organizations. Several of
the societies hope to join national
organizations, and Elkins, with the
Management Society having the
most definite plans towards this
end at present.
