'Man the Dominant Topic of Lecture •‘No organism can increase its wants ami numbers indefinitely without coming to terms with a : finite resource base,” said Paul , B. Sears at his second Condon ! Lecture. Sears spoke Thursday evening at 8 p.m. in the Student Union ballroom. Sears oriented his lecture around an ecological theme: that is, the relations between an or ganism and its environment. Sears’ topic was "Man the Domi nant." The heart of human ecology is culture, Scars said. Culture, he said, develops out of man's ability to over-ride the limitations of his environment. He said the values developed in each culture determine how it will use the re sources of tint environment. Sears cited an example of a flint ridge in Ohio used by early Indians. They prized the flint so highly that the ridge was de clared neutral by warring tribes. Nearby are rich deposits of coal and natural gas today being ex ploited by our culture. The example, he said, shows that different cultures use their resources differently. Sears told the crowd of about 175 that our culture must learn to conserve its resources in the face of expanding wants. He said there is still time to practice con servation in Oregon’s forests, and thus perpetuate them. A question and answer session followed Sears’ lecture.
