Dubos Continues Study of Science By DAVK LACKEY Emerald Staff Writer Rene Dubos, a microbiologist associated with the Rockefeller Institute, continued his analysis of science in today’s world at his second Condon Lecture Thursday night. DUBOS DISCUSSED the effect of science on social progress. With tin- achievements of science in the past century, men have agreed that there is “no limit" to what can be done through sci ence, he said. Since it is assumed that there are no limitations to what sci ence can achieve, we must deter mine what “we should do among all the thing we can do,” he said. With the elimination of ignor ance and poverty, scientists then are faced with a new problem. They must “formulate goals,” he contended. Till; COAL, as Dubos described it, would be to utilize science so that man might further his "social progress.” We can no longer ignore the problems of human complexities,” he stated. “We must relate the sciences concerning man with the other sciences.” Relating man to his environment, however, is "far more complex" than is the study of the celestiral body, or a rock, he added Du bos described the popula tion explosion and environmental pollution as two human problems lacking “precise scientific study.” Both are in need of greater an alysis,” he declared. "No where do you find a laboratory equipped for the study of these problems,” he said THKRK WILL be an “increas mg" demand for an interpretation of science as it works on these social problems, Dubos said, so that the public may .see the “rele vance" of scientific study to so ciety's goals. Dubos also said that, despite the importance of a scientist's re search on specific theoretical knowledge, a scientist “must al ways remember what matters most is the human race." Payments Due Participants In the charter flight to Europe sponsored by the International Education Center have been reminded to make their second payment of $100.

Lieu allcn in spite of opposition by Wallace J’riostly, member of the Executive Hoard of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Priestly, a Sigma Chi, called for further action against fraternities who had received waivers but whose national organization still carried a discriminatory clause. IN A STATEMENT released Wednesday, Priestly said the Hoard was "making a mockery of the truth” by reporting that such discrimination does not exist on Oregon campuses through frater nities and sororities. "They are not to be blamed for the discrimination that exists there, but they are to be blamed for not carrying out policies es tablished in lbfil . . . The Oregon State Hoard of Higher Education has returned to its ‘wait and see policy' of lfMH),” he said William Walsh, president of the board, pointed out to Priest ley during the Board meeting that the chancellor's statement concluded, "Furthermore, if we find that in fact a chapter of a national fraternity or sorority on one of our campuses is not free to pledge a person without regard to race, color, creed, or nationali ty, recognition of such a fraterni ty or sorority will be withdrawn." PRIESTLY also said “the new Board policy is on which will not encourage correction by these two organizations (ATO and Sig ma Nu>.” He concluded that "some prog ress may come, provided of course, further regression of poli cy does not take place when in fractions within these more limit ed provisions are brought to their (the Hoard’s) attention."
