Livingstone Discusses Role Of Science in Modern Day Living and dealing with atoms find cells Is no preparation for liv ing and dealing with men," said Sir Kichard Livingstone in the first of liia two lectures on "Science" Thursday night In the Student Un ion Ballroom. True scientists, he continued, are aware of his difficulty and are working toward an education that may produce balanced human be I logs. The chief limit of natural HHienre, raid tin' noted British edusator, is ttmt it is not human, and we are, A purely scientific education, he con tinued, hns a narrowing effect, and tends to make us ignore or under estimate yreat literature or great I art. Livingstone then swung into a subject with which he intends to deal more thoroughly in his lecture tonight, the anallUcal spirit of sci ence or the scientific spirit. In analyzing the whole, and breaking it tip into Its parts, he n;iiffe we are likely to lose sense of the^whole and reality. Livingstone went on to say that still these tech , mque* may be used as a means to a growing knowledge and under standing. The opening statements of Liv ingstone’s lecture dealt with some of the problems that natural sci ence has set up for us. "Science," he suid, "has upset in ternational relations by annihilat ing space.” It has made the five continents adjacent countries, while eurh of them has still kept its provincial, Isolationist ideas. As the second problem created by science, Livingstone listed the abolishment of poverty or the powers which science has given us to abolish It. People, he said, are like a child who cannot make up its mind They do not know what to do Opportunities For Jobs Listed More interviews by various firm representatives have been sched uled by the graduate placement ifffee for graduating seniors and ithers. The Weyerhauser Timber Com [iany will interview men for ac ounting jobs today.

The Pacific Tele ihone and Telegraph Company will jo interviewing students Wedncs lay at the employment service for tummer employment. The jobs pay tor expenses in addition to the salary, according to advance infor mation. with the advantages they have gained through the adfancement of science. Man Versus Machine The gravest problem of civiliza tion, he continued, is that of man versus machine. These protests against the machine age, he admit ted, are sometimes extravagant, but still he recognized the need for some form of opposition to the de cline of the skilled worker. Science has upset our traditional outlook on lift*, stated Livingstone. By pursuing science too far, we are likely to reach that stage he said where science may actually pre vent us from seeing the world clearly. This point is reached. I-ivingstorfe said, when we puisue truth beyond its certain premises. “A seitnetlst is an explorer of an unknown world,” he said, "and he also seeks to transfer that world to make life more interesting and alive." People who blarne science for the evils of the world, he declared, have no basis for such an idea. "It is our hands that are on the wheel," he said. "If we misuse sci ence the'blame is ours." There is little need, he continued, to employ atomic energy to destry life rather than to enrich it.

It's the sensible test . . . the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as a steady smoke on a pack-after-pack, day-after-day basis. No snap judgments needed! After you've enjoyed Camels—and only Camels—for 30 days in your “T-Zone” (T for Throat, T for Taste), we believe you'll know why . More People Smoke Camels than any other cigarette! C'AO'VC'E.
