Charles Bush and Kelly Jacob, first year M.B.A. students and co-chairman of the AASU, refused to comment on Fouraker's statement last night...
...which was later found to carry specific amino acids floating in the cytoplasm to the ribosomes; this substance became known as transfer RNA. Then in the early 1960s, biologists discovered a third kind of RNA?shortly after its existence had been theorized by Jacques Monod and François Jacob of France's Pasteur Institute. Called messenger RNA, it provided the missing piece in the molecular puzzle. It was formed on an uncoiled strip of DNA in the nucleus, imprinted with the particular "message" encoded in that portion?or gene?of the staircase, and then sent off with these instructions...
...body cell of an individual organism is identical; this DNA contains all the information necessary to construct the whole organism. Why then, in a human being, for example, is a liver cell so different from a hair cell, a heart cell so different from a skin cell? The answer, Jacob and Monod theorized in 1961, is that only a small percentage of the genes in any cell are giving instructions for the operation of that particular cell. The rest are "turned off" by protein repressers, which wrap themselves around long stretches of DNA and prevent them from transferring their coded...
...Kelly Jacob, co-chairman of the AASU, said Thursday, "During the McCarthy period, when academicians were under fire, President Pusey stood up and was counted. But now, when the discrimination is primarily against peaceniks, what will university administrators...
...Jacob said that "confidentiality of information" has been a major concern of the AASU and that last month's publication of the stolen FBI documents again brought forward the dangers of such surveillance on black organizations across the country...
