Oswald Killed • • • (LonttmuH ft„tn pai/r 1) statement by an Fit.I. spokes man He said in Washington its in vestigation will continue and we will not consider the case closed until we have obtained all the evi dence we can."

Raymond Crant, Metho dist bishop for the Portland dis trict: “1 shuddered when I learned that crowds cheered when Lee Oswald had been killed . Cod have mercy upon us, that human life has become so cheap and that tragedy has been heaped upon tragedy.” The Rt. Rev. James W. F. Car man, Bishop of the Episcopal Dio cese of Oregon: if a person is a true patriot, and not the kind of crackpot that killed the Presi- i dent, as an American he will not ti tolerate any individual taking the law into his own hands . . . ”1 Rabbi Emanuel Rose of Temple j Beth Israel in Portland: “It is a disgraceful infringement on the! legal processes of democratic gov ernment . . .

Julian Huxley, noted biologist and writer, and the grandnephew of j poet-essayist Matthew Arnold. When Huxley visited the cam pus early last spring term he in- j dicated in a press interview that! he no longer held all the views ! expressed in his best known1 books, “Brave New World,” In1 this work Huxley previewed the 25th century, drawing a chill pic-! ture of a godless, mechanized so ciety where even babies arrive on the production line. New Book Written He said last spring he had writ ten another book, not yet publish ed, which views the future of so cieties in a different light. Huxley also gave his thoughts on the social changes that will come about in the world as a result of scientific and technical advances. Good of Mankind Important “Every few years there should i be a getting together of people from many fields to examine the movement of technology and sci ence and the corresponding socie tal organization,” he said. In this way he believed the power of sci ence could be channeled to work for the good of mankind, not its destruction. In his evening speech, which was heard throughout the entire Student Union after the crowds overflowing the SU ballroom virtually filled the remainder of the building, Huxley discussed the value of what he called “vis ionary experience” in the life of the individual. Visions Have Values He said visions have both an absolute, intrinsic value and val ues in terms of ethics and spirit uality. “Visionary experiences do not have to be justified in terms of anything else,” he said. “Just as beauty, for instance, does not have to be justified in terms of morality.” “Man,” Huxley said, ’’should try to preserve the childish capac ity to see the word as incredib ly beautiful, and still be able to re-enter the utilitarian sphere.” Although visions are often in fernal as well as beatific, he said, religion, folk lore, and art have proved the value of the vision.
