Our reactions to the controversial senator Wayne
Morse? We had heard about him many times back in
the middlewest, and there, of course he is equally con
troversial. He is a national figure in the truest sense of
the word.
Morse is a fine politician, and as such will be diffi
cult to unseat this coming election year. Nobody has
ever claimed, in all their anti Morse remarks, that the
man is not intelligent. I le knows the issues, and knows
how to explain them easily and clearly to an audience.
He is a fine politician because he is smooth as
silk, lie can remember names, and is easy to talk to.
He is a fine politician because he can talk on lx»th sides
of a question and be equally convincing.
Wc don’t agree with Morse very often on his
policies or 1ns methods And frankly, we think changing
his political affiliations in mid term was unfair to the
voters who elected him. However, he does have plenty
of support, anil it will take a good man, a lot of work,
and a lot of money to unseat him.

th e im age is upside down and re
versed.
Light p articles which en ter the
eye, have enough ‘energy to ig
nite chemical deposits, which are
attach ed to th # light cells of the
retina. The burning of the. chem
icals, gen erates an electric cu r
rent. This cu rren t passes through
th e optic nerve to the brain.
In th© visual lobe of the brain,
w hich is located at th e back of the
skull, th e eLectrical im pulses cre
a te a pattern . This p attern estab
lishes the image, but it has- no
m eaning, until the impulses have
also filtered through the cortical
I cortex l processes, which are re
lated to the various sense rcans.
W hen the im age has been in te
g rate d w ith all of the senses, and
m em ory processes, one experience
conscious perception. This of
course, all hap[>ens in a fraction
of a second.
As stated earlier, we can never
h ' sure as to just how close our
perception corresponds to reality.
The brain which cre ate s the con
scious | erception, is en tirely closed
off from any direct contact w ith
the m aterial world. It is com par
able to a person being born and
spending his en tire life in a mine
and whose only know ledge of th e
world, depended on w hat he was
able to g ath er by w atching te le
vision. He could never be sure,
th a t th e image represented rea l
ity, and w as not an optical illusion.
As man uncovers illusions which
conceal reality, he is faced w ith
a new and stran g e world. He soon
discovers, however, th a t th is new
Due to th e atom ic and molec
u lar s tru c tu re of th e surface, of
objects, p a rt of the light which
strik es an object, is absorbed,
w hile th ? rem ainder is reflected
in all directions.
If red is absorbed from th e
light, we p rceive the object as
being green, as green is the comp-,
lim ent of red, etc. If all of the
light is reflected, the o b jic t looks
white, as th e tru e color of un
filtered light is w hite. On the
other hand, if the surface trap s
all of the light, nor?? is reflected
to the eye. and we n atu ra lly per
ceive the object as being black.
Objects have no color of th eir
own. The color which w© assign
to an object, is light which has
been re fe c te d .
The "light p article th eo ry ” has
I een used, in these articles, as it
is the m ost u s f u l one. for ex
plaining visual perception. How
ever it should be realic d, th a t
the "wave th eo ry ” is equaly valid.
From aii p arts, of the visib’i?
surfaces of an object, a few scat
tered light particles are reflected
into the pupil of th e eye. Since
these light p articles a re coming
from m any directions, and con
verge at th e pupil, th eir paths n a t
urally cross, as they en ter the
interior of th e eye ball. This ac
counts for th e image being re
versed, on th e posterior surface of
the eye. T he process is sim ilar to
the image, which is formed on the
ground glass of a studio cam era.
In a cam era, the paths of light
cross, as they pass through the
small opening of the lens, so th at
world is evasive and m ore con
fusing th an th e last. I t is as
though reality is all an illusion.
To p en etrate this illusion, is like?
a child breaking a soap bubble to
find out w hat it concealed.
Though the probing hands of
science m ay never uncover u lt
im ate reality, they have uncovered
relative tru th s, w hich the world
of today would be lost w ithout.
Because of m an’s n a tu re to defy
th e validity of accepted tenants,
in search of tru th , a new age of
"ca.'.cer cure" m ay not be too far
away.
The g reatest achievm ent of all
will be .when m an finds a w ay for
the people of the ea rth , to
together in peace and harm ony, ’
where the world will be perm eated
w ith love instead ol w a r W hen alj
men will learn to accept tru th
as ho sees it, instead of blind
acceptance of prejudices the world
will have a b e tte r chance of e st
ablishing perm anent peace.
