"Oliver Cromwell: A Revolutionary Paradox," a book by Dr. Richard E. Boyer, professor of history at The University of Toledo,has been published by Forum Press,
St. Louis, Mo.
Published in both pamphlet and booklet form and written for the college freshman or sophomore, the book deals with the paradoxes of Cromwell, Dr. Boyer said.
According to Dr. Boyer, the paradox of Cromwell was that the revolutionary of the 1640's became the conservative dictator of the 1650's after he came into power.
The paradoxes can be explained by the contradiction between ethics and politics with which he had to deal and by the old puritan adage "trust in God but keep your powder dry," Dr. Boyer said.
According to Dr. Boyer, Cromwell's problem was one of trying to transform a military state into a civil one. However, he was unable to evolve a political system better than the one he had destroyed. When it came to making a decision,
Cromwell always relied on the military, Dr. Boyer said.
Other books published by Dr. Boyer include "Oliver Cromwell and the Puritan
Revolt" in 1966, "Problems in European Civilization" in 1966 and "English Declaration of Indulgences, 1687 and 1688" in 1968.
Dr. Boyer received the bachelor of science degree in education and the master of arts degree in history from Northeast Missouri State University, and the doctor of philosophy degree in history from The University of Missouri. He joined the
UT faculty in 1964. ### 15 lines

The University of Toledo's College of Law has received a grant of $8,000 from the Cleveland-based Reinberger Foundation to finance operation of the Mental Health
Law Clinic during the 1977-78 academic year, according to Francis X. Beytagh, dean of the college.
The Reinberger Foundation's grant will permit the clinic to continue to provide legal assistance to Toledo Mental Health Center patients who request such assistance, he explained.
Rules of the Ohio Supreme Court permit law students who have completed two-thirds of the hourly credit requirement for a law degree and who have met prescribed academic and ethical standards to represent patients who request legal assistance, under the class supervision of the Mental Health Law Clinic's director, Robin M. Kennedy, associate professor of law at The University of Toledo.
Founded in 1973, the clinic is co-sponsored by the UT College of Law and the Toledo
Mental Health Center. It is housed in a three-room office on the grounds of the Mental
Health Center, facilities which assure access by the largely low-income patients to the legal services available to meet their needs.
During its four years of operation, the clinic has assisted more than 800 clients with a variety of legal problems. About 20 percent of the caseload has involved civil commitment actions, Mr. Kennedy explained. Recently, students have worked on an action seeking to reform Ohio's civil commitment statute and an action challenging the obligation of involuntary patients to pay the costs of hospitalization.
(over) Using law students for these services serves the dual function of increasing the number of patients who can be provided with legal assistance and augments the student's legal education by allowing him to experience the demands of professional responsibility to actual clients, Mr. Kennedy said.
The grant will allow the clinic to continue to function during the current year as it has in the past, Dean Beytagh said.

Straub, vice chairman of the Board, moved a resolution that the Boazd urge Saga of Ohio, Inc. and Local 12 of the United Auto Workers, currently on strike against Saga, "to meet and discuss their differences as frequently and as long as necessary to bring matters to closure." The resolution also states that the
Board's interest in this matter "is solely that students be well served with quality food in a timely, efficient way." The resolution was passed unanimously.
The Board adopted a policy on land acquisition which states the University shall retain ownership of any land in the area bounded by Bancroft St., Westwood Ave.,
Dorr St. and Secor Rd., which it may receive through purchase, gift or otherwise, and that as a long term intent the University will keep such land available for such use as it may develop.

A grant of $22,500 has been awarded by the National Science Foundation to
Dr. Jerry L. Underfer, professor of elementary education at The University of Toledo,
for a project titled "Environmental Education Information Colloquium."
The main objective of the grant will be to review and critique free or ÿnex-
pensive publications for school usage, Dr. Underfer said. He explained that 40 edu-
cators from the Toledo area will screen the materials dealing with air pollution,
water pollution, solid waste, ecological dynamics noise, energy and chemical pollution.
Dr. Underfer said that the College of Education has been collecting publica-
tions since 1971. The educators will give their opinion of the potential uses and the
grade level of the material.
"This program provides interested teachers with a functional reference for
either their own backgrounds or for their classroom. It should help teachers who have
neither the time nor the budget to write for and review the dozens of publications
which are available," Dr. Underfer said.
Those participating in the project will be educators who are considered envi-
ronmental coordinators or resource experts for their school districts. The educators will attend monthly sessions, lasting from two to four days, beginning in December
and ending in April. After the information is compiled a complete bibliography of
the publications selected will be published.
The NSF grant was one of 17 grants totaling $353,100 (nationally) for informing
school decision makers on a variety of science instructional materials and practices
for use in elementary and secondary schools.
Dr. Underfer came to UT in 1968 after receiving bachelor's and master's degrees
from Drake University (Des Moines, Iowa) and a doctoral degree from the University of
Iowa,

A grant of $17,445 has been awarded to Dr. Thomas A. Stuart, University of
Toledo assistant professor of electrical engineering, by the U.S. Air Force Office
of Scientific Research.
The grant will fund a project titled "Laboratory Investigation of Rectified
Alternator Model Used in Weight Minimization Study." This project is a laboratory
investigation of an earlier study that was performed to develop a mathematical model.
A mathematical model was developed to lower the weight of equipment used to
convert alternating current to direct current in mobile applications, Dr. Stuart said.
The weight of the conversion equipment is proportional to the amount of power developed and can become a problem at high power levels. This research was done during the
1976-77 academic year.
In the current project, an aircraft generator, loaned to UT by the Westing- house Corporation, is being used to test the model developed in the earlier study.
A graduate student will be working with Dr. Stuart.
Dr. Stuart formerly taught at Clarkson College of Technology (Potsdam, N.Y.) before coming to UT in 1975. He received his bachelor of science degree from the
University of Illinois and his master's and doctoral degrees from Iowa State University.

Four "natural remedies" for the treatment of arthritis have been proven
ineffective in a series of experiments directed by Dr. Kenneth Bachmann, associate
professor of pharmacology in The University of Toledo's College of Pharmacy.
Yucca, pokeweed, bloodroot and kelp were tested in rats to compare their me-
dicinal effectiveness with a drug that has been proven effective in treating arthritis,
phenylbutazone. Six groups of rats were used--one treated with each of the four
"natural remedies, one with phenylbutazone and the last receiving no drugs at ail,
Dr. Bachmann said.
Weight loss is a symptom of adjuvant-induced arthritis so the lack of weight
loss suggests that a drug has a beneficial effect. Dr. Bachmann said that the only
significant improvement in weight loss, relative to the untreated group of rats, appeared in the group treated with phenylbutazone.
As arthritis advances in rats the size of their hind paw increases. Dr. Bach- mann, Dr. Joseph Schradie, associate professor of pharmacognosy, and a group of four pharmacy students working on the research project developed a new technique for mea- suring the size of the rat's hind paw. Dr. Bachmann said that the students are pri- marily responsible for the innovation.
Yucca, pokeweed and bloodroot plants used in the experiment were found in
Northwestern Ohio. They were powdered and administered orally as teas or suspensions to the rats, Dr. Bachmann explained.
Dr. Schradie compiled the background information for the experiment and developed the abstract from his collection of folklore studies regarding drugs and their natural sources. The four plants are mentioned in Indian folklore as being useful in the treatment of rheumatism.

The study is part of a faculty research award funded by The University of
Toledo. Research projects are Judged by departmental advisory committees for their feasibility.
Dr. Bachmann Joined the UT faculty in 1973, after serving as a teaching assis- tant at The Ohio State University's College of Pharmacy and as a hospital pharmacist in Columbus. He received his bachelor of science degree in pharmacy and his doctorate in pharmacology from Ohio State
Dr. Schradie received doctor of pharmacy (Pharm. D.), master of science and doctor of philosophy in pharmacognosy degrees from the University of Southern Calif- ornia (Los Angeles). Before coming to UT in 1966, Dr. Schradie was an instructor at
USC and worked as a pharmacist in southern California.

Daniel Hinchliffe, internal auditor for the Marathon Oil Co., Findlay,
Ohio, will speak on "Operational Auditing" at a seminar sponsored jointly by
The University of Toledo department of accounting and Beta Alpha Psi accounting society Wednesday, Nov. 30, at 7:30 p.m. in the T-section of the Student Union on the main campus.
The meeting also is sponsored by the Ohio Society of Certified Public
Accountants which has awarded a grant of $1,400 to the UT accounting department to conduct seminars and workshops, purchase library materials and make student loans, Dr. Charles H. Gibson, chairman and professor of accounting, said.
"Operational auditing today is one of the major growth areas for the employment of accountants," Dr. Gibson said. "This growth is attributed to increasing governmental regulation and cost consciousness by companies generally.
As a result, operational auditing is concerned increasingly with such areas as the effectiveness of employee and management performance and the degree of adher- ance to company policy, in addition to the more traditional role of financial auditing," he said.

The University of Toledo's Ritter Planetarium will offer its annual holiday showÿ
"The Star of Bethlehem," beginning at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 27, according to Dr. Willÿam
Rush, associate director of the planetarium and assistant professor of physics and astronomy.
"The Star of Bethlehem" will be presented at public performances during the following four weeks, each Friday at 7:30 p.m. and each Sunday at 2 p.m. through Friday,
Dec. 23.
It also will be presented on Tuesday and Thursday mornings during that period for classes of schoolchildren, by advance reservation and at times chosen by teachers, between
Nov. 29 and Dec. 22, Dr. Rush said.
The Ritter Planetarium's holiday show reviews the traditions and legends concerning the "Christmas Star" reported over Bethlehem almost 2,000 years ago.
Matthew the Evangelist reports in his gospel that the three Magi "saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him," posing modern astronomers a fascinating puzzle, Dr. Rush explained. This fragmentary evidence from the New Testament, that the
Magi were guided to Judea by an unusual astronomical event at the time of the birth of Christ about 4 B.C., can be related to Roman and Chinese astronomical records for that period, Dr. Rush said, and to the findings of modern astronomy. The result is a number of scientific interpretations which may explain the bright star's appearance.
As part of the program, the Ritter Planetarium's star projector turns back the heavenly calendar to display the night sky as it probably appeared over Israel at about the time of the first Christmas.
(over) Admission to the planetarium's holiday show is 25 cents for children, 50 cents for high school and college students and faculty, and $i for adults. Reservations for the Sunday afternoon and Friday evening performances are suggested and may be obtained by calling 537-2650.
The Ritter Observatory and Planetarium will continue its free, public viewing night programs during which the public may view the night sky through the Observatory's one-meter reflecting telescope. An upcoming program will be offered on Friday, Dec.
16, with Jupiter and the Earth's moon as the primary objects of viewing. Programs are scheduled that evening, clear skies permitting, at 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.mo Space in the Observatory tower is limited so reservations for public viewing nights are required and cannot be extended to groups. Individual reservations are available, beginning one week in advance of the program date, by calling 537-2650. No charge is made for the public viewing night program.

The University of Toledo's Regional Ohio Historic Preservation Office, headed
by G. Michael Pratt, regional preservation officer, will conduct a study of the
archaeological potential of the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge areas along the
southern shore of Lake Erie to obtain data to be used in planning for the construction
of future facilities at the refuge.
In addition to field surveys, the research will involve acquiring information
from local residents who have artifact collections or are aware of archaeological
sites, particularly in the areas of Little Cedar Point, West Sister Island, and the
Darby and Navarre Marsh wildlife refuges, he said.
Mr. Pratt urges persons with such information to contact him at the regional preservation office at the University, phone (419) 537-2364.
A UT adjunct instructor in anthropology, Mr. Pratt said that studies of this kind provide an opportunity for professional and non-professional archaeologists, as well as the general public, to work together for the common goal of =onserving the area's limited and non-renewable archaeological sites.
Without conservation planning most of these sites will be destroyed, leaving little or no record of about 97 percent of the prehistoric and early historic occu- pation of the area, he said.
