(Continued from paeje 1) tarit book in 19.r>8 was "No More War." The lecture will be based on this book. Booklist Magazine says this of the book: "A power ful plea that international agree ments be made to stop the test ing of nuclear weapons and that the world work toward peace, rather than nuclear warfare." Booklist continues, "The au thor, a Nobel Prize winning scien tist addresses himself to the lay man and leaves no doubt about the terrible power of nuclear weapons; the effects of fallout; the correlation between radia tion, disease, and heredity; and the nature of a nuclear war.” The mention of appeals for peace made by leading world scientists, reveals that the auth or's convictions arc shared by many who, like him, kflow where of they speak. Appeals by Ein stein and Schweitzer appear among the appended material," Booklist states. At 3 p.m. in the SU, a wor ship workshop will be held. The Rev. Maurice McMahon, Rabbi Edgar F.

(Continued from page 1) door of society. I don't feel that scientists should make decisions for the people of the world. 1 do not believe in an obiigarey of scientists.” Pauling went on to say that the problems of nuclear power were the responsibility of everybody. It is the politicians, he explained, and not the scientists who tend to \ exploit nuclear power. Scientists i are told to "stay in the lab and i keep their mouths shut,” he com mented. Pauling also added some thoughts in this same vein by saying that scientists are merely trying to find out knowledge and facts about the world. ‘Formulated definition’ “Knowledge itself is not evil, it is the mis-application that is evil” Pauling said. Here again, Pauling emphasized the need for indi vidual concern among the people of the world for the moral use of nuclear power. ,! Tiling scheduled for Men's pool I. I. Wright, Director of the Physical Plant said Monday the tank in the new Mens Pool has been filled and the concrete walls are now being checked for pos 1 sible leaks.

PICTURE ALSO CESAR ROMERO "VILLA" On the question of a definition of morality, Pauling declined to make a 'formulated definition” of it. "It in more immoral for 10 mil lion persons to be killed as com pared with the killing of a few people or a few hundred. For morality in general, it is quibbling to give a definition. A definition doesn't cover border-line cases. It is up to the people of the world to work on these border line cases.” Pauling had some provacativc remarks about Red China. "The people of China are better off now than before the Communist Revolution. I don't know if it will continue to be a better place. As far as I’m concerned Free China can go down the drain. The U.S. made a mistake with Chang and the Nationalist gov ernment. Pauling felt that Red China should be admitted to the U.N. in return for being turned in a de militarized zone. Weaponless Red China would be reassured that if attacked by the U.S., the U.S.S.R. would come to stop the aggres sion of the U.S., and if Russia were to attack Red China, the U.S. would come to her aid. Pauling also marl? pertinent re marks about the rormrmne sys tem. "I have not seen the com munes in Red China, however I have seen them in Israel and they are wonderful organization. The people farms are generally happier than the independent Is raeli farmer. For many people is the world communes could be thoroughly satisfactory.” "I have often wondered what medical men have thought of my projects in medicine, however that doesn’t stop me from doing them,” Pauling said. When accused of meddling in people’s affairs because he had discouraged persons off bad bio logical stock not to marry, Paul ing said that he was not inter fering in their lives, merely advis ing them in the light of his knowledge. "As a scholar, if I may use the term, I have spent a great part of my life studying. Many people have spent a small part of their lives in study, and I am just giving my advice. It is every per son's duty to decide whether or not the world is to be destroyed in the next few years. I am only doing my duty as a man ... my duty as a person.” & Fast Order Service The recordings YOU want are in stock — come in and look around!
