... Quaker Spring Sports...
The varsity sports program this
spring as yet has not lived up to
its pre-season expectations, but
heavy schedules in the next two
weeks are likely to alter their
slow starts. Unforeseen injuries and
the usual weatherman have already
postponed one track meet and one
tennis match, and the baseballers
have had to just play through the
obstacles. By tournament time,
quite a change will have occurred
in all the sports.
Tennis
Coach John Lambeth's tennis
team has run into some tough com
petition with the likes of David
son and £ast Carolina this year
and everyone has tasted the feel
of defeat. In the sole conference
match against Atlantic Christian,
the Quakes lost a disappointing
match 3-4 after many poor show
ings. The only standout over the
first three matches has been Jim
Otwell. Jim. the number one-man
on the team, is presently unbeaten
in conference play after coming
from behind to win at ACC i-f>,

FANNY HILL
We went to see the movie "Fan
ny Hill" some nights ago. Like
many others, we had piddled with
the book. I say piddled because I
would think that it is the excep
tionally rare individual who reads
something like that from cover to
cover. That would include critics,
particularly if they were critics of
literature. Well anyway, we went.
Basically we had three reasons
for going; we were in the mood
to see a movie, we were in the
mood to see that kind of a mo\ie,
and thirdly we were curious to
see how the Hollywood 'Miracle
Workers' had gotten around it
this time. Far be it from them to
let things like books stand in their
way.
Well they dodged this one all
right. Fanny was "Fanny" in name
only. Storyline, dialogue, and aims
had all been changed to protect
the innocent. In the version spoon
fed and tailormade for what the
Hays Office thinks is the young
American mind of all ages, "Fan
ny" is a young and innocent
country girl who through a set
of unfortunate circmustances linds
herself in the rowdy London of
the time. She is taken into the
"Flouse" of a kindly "Trades
woman" and through a tiring and
only mildly amusing sequence of
slapstick events, manages to pre
serve her alluring innocence for
her true lover.
The clever producers provided
just enough provocativeness so
that audiences would not demand
their money back. But "Fanny"
was so badly cut that all that re
mained was a paper doll. As to
spirit and conveance "Fanny" was
a Plain Jane next to "Tom Jones"
with which the picture has been
compared. Jn brief then "Fanny"
was just not what she was cracked
up to be.
6-4, 6-0. The team is going to de
pend a great deal upon Jim and
the: number two-man, John Ward,
to bring in the honors this season.
They are expected to represent
the team in the NAIA Tourna
ment at St. Andrews College and
also at the Conference Tourna
ment at Appalachian State College
fater in May. Rounding out the
next three positions are Jim Hunt,
Walt Gromada, and Rudy Gordh.
Much of the success of the team
will be riding upon their shoul
ders, for most ol the teams in the
Carolinaas Conference lack well
balanced teams, and it is here that
the Quakes have a definite ad
vantage. However, just the op
posite occurred at ACC, when
the team lost four singles matches
after all blowing leads (think
'choke' is the word). Next week
should really tell the tale as the
Quakes meet the two conference
leaders, Appalachian and Pfeiffer.
Spectators are welcome to come
out; you can be assured of seeing
quite a match. Aside from the
competition, you can see how a
team is expected to play well and
at the same lime run an obstacle
GALBRAITH SPEAKS
AT UNC-G
On April 6, Professor John Ken
neth Galbraith opened the 18th
innua! Harriet Elliot Lecluie
Series in Aycock Auditorium at
UNC-G.
Harriet Elliot served the Uni
ersity at Greensboro lor 34 years,
during the Second World War, she
erved on the advisory commiti.ee
.'or the Council of Defense and
>ai on th {committee for the Na
tional Sale of War Bonds. The
lectures presented yearly at UNC-G
are given as a memorial to her.
joun K. Galbraith was born in
Canada and came to the United
c(.. in 1931. He is a formei
editor of Fortune nipgizine. Pro
'essor Galbraith is a holder of the
Medal of Freedom Award, a form
er ambassador to India, and is
presently a professor of economics
at Harvard University.
D.\ Galbraith called his lectures,
"The Politics of Poverty and Pro
gress". The first night's lecture was
.übtitied, ' The Contrast Between
the Rich Nations and Poor".
The speaker was trying to show
the great contrast between the
rich and poor nations, as well as
the homogenizing effect of pov
erty.
Professor Galbraith divided the
world into two catagories: the
peaceful settled countues and die
unsettled, poor and discontented
countries.
In the wealthy countries change
is nothing new. There is much in
novation going on daily and the
wealth increases constantly. The
people are fairly healthy and there
are few persons living near the
level of subsistance.
The poor countries, on the other
hand, show a different picture.
These nations, in contrast, are
very conservative and resist change.

n patched tar strips, and looking

tions go, we have got to be first.
Baseball
The baseball team, under the
direction of Coach Stuart May
nard, under went a rebuilding job
this year, and with a 5-5 record
up-to-date, the team has a good
hance of making the conference
playoffs for the first time since its
ormation, three years ago. At
times with six Freshmen in the
ine-up and with only Kendall
Buckner a Senior, big things will
•e happening at the Quaker flats.
The team worked hard all winter
long in preparing the field for
the season. There are new dugouts,
fence and much improved infield,
giving the players a completely
iresh start on what could be the
beginning of a baseball power in
the Carolinas Conference. Coach
Maynard has commented that he
is very pleased with his team's
showing this year and with some
more timely hitting the playoffs
might be reached.
The leading pitchers so far this
season have been Bill Burchette
with three victories, Kendall
Buckner, and Mike Cole. This de
partment is probably the strong
est on the team. The hitting has
been the answer to the Guiifotd
losses. Onlv three men are batting
over .300 and two of them just
make it. Kendall Buckner, who
plays first base when he is not
pitching, is paving the way at an
even .400, followed by Sandy Gann
base) at .308 and Dan
Surface (third base) at .306. The
hitting disappointment has come
mostly from the outfield where
uiost teams field their hitters. Dan
loutherland and Warren Stewart
There are many reasons for this.
a. is an economic fact that wealth
.ncreases with wealth. It is also
true that poverty is self-perpetuat
ing. Any increase in production
must come by saving some of that
produce. In the poor countries,
. .ving takes away from necessary
sustanance to living and causes
exposure, and illness, iliere
hunger, exposure, and illness.
There is 110 margin in the econom
ic system to allow saving. There is
always a risk in innovation and
these countries cannot afford that
risk. These poor nations feel it is
etter to stick to the old proven
\ays. This is why change is re
isted and technical innovation is
tnknown. 111 the past, when change
iccured due to new political tor
nations, one man or group of men
las enriched itself at the public's
xpense. The image of change is
•go-focused. Poor countries must
ise their lesources for the right
aings. If they don't, cries of out
age come from the general popu
us. This is not true in the rich
lations which can experiment un
il they have hit the right formula.
. final problam is one of resource
banning. Planning is difficult and
eeds a g ;od administration which
many of the deprived nations do
iot have.

INTERACTIONS
A few years ago, profiteers in
die field of fallout shelters were
profiting. As a regular public ser

..o the scieniist.
All matter is assumed to be com

With the season half over and
our games coming up in each of
the next two weeks, the Quakes
ire going to meet their test. It
appears to me that they will make
the playoffs and after that we
might just have a good send off
ior next season.
T rack
Coach Wilbur Johnson's thin
clads have already finished two
meets, had one rained out and are
now preparing for the Davidson
i Relays. Although not having won
| .1 meet as yet, the taste of victory
has been ever present for several
of the Quakes' standouts. The
earn has to rely heavily upon its
field events, with Tim Ray, Bud
Hall and I'Ved Gray leading the
way, for there is a great lack of
depth in the running events, and
this deficiency has taken its toll.
field Events. Tim Ray, the team
captain, has been bettering the
conference record in the shotput
at every chance, with his best toss
I oeing 46*3". Also good in the dis-
I cus, Tim has taken three firsts and
i >nu second in the 4 events he has
types of combinations of mole
cules. Although atoms do combine
Liitmically to form molecules they
never lose their identity.
I Then in connection with the
atoms we have three basic ques-
I UOliS.
Which combinations are stable?
1 Which circumstances dictate
| stability?
Which circumstances make chem
ical combination possible?
VVc arc concerned with the idenity,
stability, and reactionity of the
atoms and molecules.
The structure of the atom is
based on experimentation and de
duction making it wholy theoreti
-1 cai. It was discovered that if an
electric current were passed through
, water the water disassociated into
|ii)drogen and oxygen.
Furthermore, tire ratios hycho
gen to oxygen by volumne was
always one of small whole num
bers, 2:1. It was decided, water
not being the only matter cabable
ot this electrolysis, that matter is
electrical in nature; that there was
a definite ratio for combination
of atoms to molecules and that
I the electricity was passed in small
discrete packages.
' The distribution of mass in an
atom was the next necessary step.
Bombardment of metal sheets with
radioactive particles led to many
conclusions. If we were to shoot
bullets at a metal sheet whose tex
ture we cotdd not ascertain, they
Aoulcl bounce straight back if the
sheet were solid, but it the sh et
\ were in fact composed of mass
enters, small bars, some bullets
would pass, some would glance at
oblique angles and some again
would bounce straight back. Such
! a chaotic scatter pattern was ob
Lamed using alpha particles and
gold foil sheets.
The mass concentrated center
r>f the atom is the nucleus where
n, amazingly enough, lie the nu
cleons. These protons and neutrons
■ tie the smallest component of the
j atom and the heaviest. I liese nu
clei i are located in the center of
I the atom and are surrounded by
entered. Fred Gray, another stand
out, has been pushing at the con
ference record in the pole vault
which is about 12*9". Fred's best
clear has been at i2'6" but he
has knocked the bar off three
times after apparently clearing 13'.
The conference record will surely
be his before the season is over.
Other strong field performers have
been Bud Hall and Cris Correy
in the javelin, Gary Thompson in
the broad jump, and Reed Wood
in the high jump.
Running Events. The harriers
are the sore spot on the team. The
only bright spot is in Dave Long
in the 440. Dave has a strong
finish and at the St. Andrews meet
he came from 15 yards off the pace
to win in 55 seconds flat. Other
harriers are Gary Richardson, who
shows considerable improvement,
in the mile and two-mile, Tom
Martin in the low hurdles, Tim
Snyder in the high hurdles, and
Joe Jenkins and Gary Thompson
in the sprints.
Up and coming events for Coach
Johnson's thinclads are the NAIA
District 26 Meet at Laurinburg
on May 10 and the Carolinas Con
ference Meet at High Point on
May 15.
the electron processes. These elec
tron processes are the same as those
associated with the flow of elec
tricity and are defined as nega
tive, attracted to the positive pro
ions of the nucleus by electrostatic
iorces.
When stopped, the electron has
a mass of approximately 1/2000
that of the pioton and is thuslv de
fined as an exceedingly small par
ticle. However, to be stopped and
measured implies interaction be
tween the electron and the measur
ing device subsequently leading to
a non real state. Heisenberg stated
that the velocity and mass of a
particle can not be simultaneous
ly measured as the measurement
of one necessarily involves the
wraping of the other quality to be
measured.
Our electrons move in orbitals
about the nucleus. These orbitals
are relatively difficult mathemat
ical expressions describing where
an electron might be found, or
the probability of finding an elec
tron in a specific area during an
experiment. The probility is high
in some areas and low in others
giving rise to 'electron density".
High density meaning high prob
ability of existance at a point. Ihe
election truly acts as if it were
-.meared over a region like a cloud.
This cloud becomes thinner as the
distance from the nucleus in
creases. This electric cloud in the
entitity which dictates chemical
combination clouds are of different
extension in space and shapes.
The atom at rest is a nonstatic
system. It ossicilates inside its en
ergy capabalities held together by
'he paradoxically all heating and
all destroying atomic energy.
