A famous American philoso-
■ and 300 adults are proving

an be lively and exciting in a
ries of seven evening sessions
St. Andrews Presbyterian
oUege.
The "teacher” is Elton True-
lood and the “students” come
om Laurinburg and nearby
They earn no credits lor
le course, but there are no ex-
inations, either.
Titled “Beginner’s Philosophy
w Adults,” the course will
ange over the peaks of man’s
ttempts to find meaning and
rder in the universe. Dr. True-
lood has written 20 books,
‘any of them emphasizing a
hristian approach to life.
Expecting some interest, col
officials issued reserved
eats for this public service pro

In the first meeting Jan
tudents were introduced to

attention to Socrates. The
econd class session begins at
■ ® P-ni. Monday, January
^ others are scheduled for
snuary lo, 15, 17^ 22 and 24.
The author of the currently
much-discussed Kill and Over
kill, a chilling forecast of nu
clear war, Ralph E. Lapp, will
speak at the Laurinburg Na
tional Guard Armory Tuesday,
January 8.
Dr. Lapp’s lecture at 8 p.m.
will be the third proigram in
this season’s concert-lecture se
ries at St. Andrews Presbyteri
an College. His topic: “The New
Age of Science.” Seats are
available to the public.
After Dr. Lapp arrives on
campus the Sdence-Math Club
will sponsor a forum for stu
dents and faculty. Leaton Wil
liams, III, club president, an
nounced the forum for 4 p.m.
in the small lounge of the stu
dent center.
A reception for Dr. Lapp will
be given in the armory lounge
following the lecture. Janet
Wooten, chairman of the stu
dent committee, said it would
be open to the public as well as
students and faculty.
In 1961 Dr. Lapp became
Secretary-treasurer of a new
venture called Quadri-Science
Inc., headed by Dr. Harold C.
Urey, the Nobel Prize-winning
chemist and pioneer nuclear sci
entist. The firm, headquartered
in Washington, D. C., is bent on
developing and fostering sci
entific inventions and research
projects, and then encouraging
and supervising their practical
RALPH LAPP
application.
It is probably the only busi
ness ever created and fully con
trolled by top-echelon scientists.
Among other things, it aims to
show that scientists can greatly
advance free enterprise and
amass earnings by participating
all the way from idea to pro
duction. The corporation also
contracts with industry and gov
ernment in high level policy
studies.
Dr. Lapp began his profes
sional career during World War
II as a nuclear physicist work
ing on the A-bomb. He was ap
pointed Assistant Director of
the metallurgical laboratory,
later the Argonne National Lab
oratory, at Chicago, Illinois. Aft
er the war, Dr. Lapp served in a
variety of capacities as a scien
tific advisor to the War Depart
ment and to the Research and
Development Board of the De
fense Department. He is regard
ed as an expert on nuclear wea
pons and radioactive fall-out.
His colleagues regard Dr.
Lapp as a pioneer in exposing
complex technical problems to
public discussion. For example,’
he is credited with playing a key
role in public enUghtenment of
the fall-out issue and nuclear
bomb tests. In addition to au
thoring tedhndcal articles on the
subject, he journeyed to Japan
to write the story of the Jap
anese fishermen exposed to fall
out in the Pacific. Has book,
“The voyage of the Lucky Drag
on,” written in 1957 was pub
lished in eight foreign editions.
Dr. Lapp is deeply conscious
of the impact of science upon
society. From his base in Wash
ington, D. C., he keeps a critical
eye upon Congressional action,
especially where science and
technology impact upon nation
al policy. He is a frequent ex
pert witness before Congres
sional committees.
As an author of magazine ar
ticles, Dr. Lapp has contributed
to such national publications as
The Saturday Evening Post,

to be some general tendencies
in the overall survey of the
feelings of the St. Andrews’
geniuses,” though exceptions
are allowed.
There seems to be a very defi
nite amount of awe in the fresh
man ranks, accompanied by
questions galore, for there is
much to be learned and organ
ized about the schedule for ex
ams with such matters as —
Can I go home and come back
for my last exam?”; “Do you
mean Phys. Ed. isn’t a schedul
ed exam?”: or, “I wonder if
my math professor would
change my exam?”. It is note
worthy to recognize that there
is definitely an overall tendency
to be done with exams and be
headed for home for the be
loved semester break of recup
eration.
The range of feeling about
the exams themselves is quite
wide. Tliere are some who ^y
they haven’t had time to think
about them. One freeman re
lated that she felt rather numb
about the whole idea, but she
added that she probably should
say she felt rather dumb in
stead. A very typical upper
classman’s thougfht is that for
one brief moment all of the
term papers, analyses, and cm
mentaries will be done ®y
hope!
Yet, compared with the awe
of most of the freshmen, there
seems to be a knowing look
