Prof panel to discuss Herrnstein
Several University of Iowa faculty members and a professor from Malcom X College in Chicago will meet this week to discuss Richard Herrnstein's controversial article in inherited mental ability and what it means to the academic community.
The discussion, schedule for Friday, in Physics Lecture Room One at 7:30 p.m.. will feature experts in genetics, psychology, social policy and testing.
Roger A. Milkman, professor of zoology, Lowell A. Schoer, professor of education and David C. Ranney, associate professor in urban and regional planning, will present their ideas on Herrnstein's article and how it affects the fields of genetics, testing and social policy.
The discussion will then be open to responses by Karlene Kerfoot, instructor in nursing; Kristin Arnold, instructor in psychology; Jacob O. Sines, professor of psychology, and John W. Bowers, professor of speech and panel moderator. 
Emmett Inwang, professor of genetics and biochemistry at Malcom X College will be a special member of the panel.
Since the magazine Atlantic Monthly published Herrnstein's article last year, controversy has raged over his thesis that social standing in United States' society is a measure of inherited social abilities. 
The discussion is sponsored by the Student Development Center (SDC), the Iowa City Peace Office, Campus Ministers, the Community of St. Matthew, and the department of urban and reginonal planning.
