Dr. Lapp has written nine
books, the latest being “Kill
and Overkill; Tlhe Strategy of
Annihilation.” Published in
1962, a December selection of
the Library of Science, it is a
study of “peace through mutual
terror.” Called a “blockbuster”
by the noted political columnist.
Marquis Childs, it is a chilling
analysis of our national security
in an age of megaton-ICBM
weapons. Included in the dis
cussion is a look at our atomic
stockpile, a forecast of nuclear
war and a study of war by ai-
cident or miscalculation. It con
cludes that disarmament is still
a distant goal but that the pres
ent rate of armament cannot be
continued into the future. The
degree of overkill inherent in our
present weapons system is a rev-

The author calls lor new ap
proaches to national security
based upon the control of arms.
Dr. Lapp’s previous book,
“Man and Space: The Next Dec
ade,” published in 1961, was a
critical view of the U. S. Space
program set in terms that the
layman can understand. While
his book focused upon the next
ten years, it also looked forward
to space travel and to communi
cation with other societies be
yond our newest frontier. He
believes that the space program,
unlike the U. S. atomic pro-
gx-am, will demand widespread
understanding and “grass roots
support.”
Dr. Lapp is also author of
“Atoms and People,” “Must We
Hide?”, “The New Force,” “Ra
diological Safety,” “Halation”
and “Nuclear Radiation Phys
ics,” which went into three edi
tions.
Altliough he has devoted a
full two decades to atomic and
defense matters, the outspoken
scientist regards space science
as his original field of speciali
zation. Working onder the fam
ed Professor Arthur H. Comp
ton, Dr. Lapp did his doctorate
research on cosmic rays at the
University of Chicago. There he
earned his PhD. in physics as
well as Phi Beta Kappa and
Sigma Xi honors. He began post
graduate research vwth the late
Dr. Arthur J. Dempster, dis
coverer of uranium-235. Since
then he has been associated with
such scientists as Enrico Fermi,
Vannevar Bush, Robert Oppen-
heimer and James Conant.
A member of the American
Institute of Physics, Dr. Lapp
belongs to such scientific socie
ties as the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Sci
ence, the Federation of Ameri
can Scientists, the Washington
Philosophical Society and the
American Geophysical Union.
He travels widely and attends
many national 'and international
meetings of scientific societies.
He attended the historic interna
tional conferences on the Peace
ful Uses of Atomic Energy held
at Geneva.
His hobbies include hiking,
swimming, chess, reading and
seashell collecting. He also col

New Sunday Library
Hours To Be Tried
The Student Life Committee
sub-committee on Academic Re
lations has received approval by
Mr. Forbis, Head Librarian, for
the College Library to be open
on Sundays from 7:30-10:00 p.
m. This additional period, set at
an hour which should not in
terfere with Church activities,
will be on a trial basis pending
determination of whether its
use will serve what appears to
be a widespread need among
students and faculty.
Recent checks of the use of
classrooms in the Liberal Arts
building, particularly on Sunday
afternoon, indicate at this time
that few students are using
such facilities for study with
much consistency. Members of
the Student Life Committee and
the Student Cabinet, each of
which are assisted in aiTanging
these additional study sites, are
asked to help with assessment
of the value anticipated.
Favorable Comments
Affect Fund-Raising
At the recent faculty meet
ing I announced that we had
received $58,000 trom the Z.
Smith Reynolds Foundation for
our building program. This has
now been released to the pub
lic press by the Foundation and
I wish to be sure that aU fac
ulty, staff, and students are
aware of the gift. I also wish
to thank you for your help in
securing this and other gifts we
have received lately. What you
say out in the state and how
you perform here has a pro
found effect on our fund rais
ing program. Just as one exam
ple, I quote the following;
“. . . I have heard favorable
comments from several friends
on the efforts being made by
your institution and I am pleas
ed to send a personal donation
in the approximate amount of
S5,000.”
What you do here is reflected
in what people say about us.
You have, therefore, a definite
part in the development pro
gram of St. Andrews.

The Common Market Could Serve!
To Unify The Atlantic Communit]
From The
Greensboro College Collegian
By SCOTT SCHAEFER
The big issue in the future
of the Atlantic Community
right now is the common mar
ket; where it is going and how
it will affect (1) Europe; (2)
the free world, and (3) the com
munist countries. This evolves
around 3 facets: the entry of
Britain into the Common Mar
ket the possibility of the Com
mon Market evolving into a po
litical entity and whether or not
the Common Market will align
with NATO or become a third
force. In his lectures at WC on
the 30tJi and 31st of October
and 1st of November, Christian
Herter, contrary to the belief
that the Common Market will
develop into a third force, stated
that in his opinion, it was mov
ing in the direction of an in
ternational govermnent and that
the momentum must not be
allowed to die.
In understanding the future of
the Atlantic Community and
the Common Mai'ket, it is neces
sary to make an assessment of
where the individual countries
of the Atlantic Community are
going. The entry of Britain in
to the Common Market is such
an important question that it
will remain the only matter un
der consideration untU it is set
tled. The English government is
growing more and more liberal;
however, MacMillan and his
conservative party won’t be put
out of power until the next
elections which must be held by
September of 1964. Although
both parties are split over the
issue of the Common Market, as
a whole, the Toi-ies are for it.
and the Uberals are against it.
If England is included it would
form a bridge between the Com
mon Market and the United
States. The main issue holding
up the proceedings is Britain’s
insistence that the Common
wealth be included or at least
have special considerations. Her
ter, however, feels that England
will definitely enter soon.
In France, DeGaulle’s posi
tion is none too secure and the
Parliament has been dissolved.
In the next elections, parties
other than DeGaulle’s will gain
power and DeGaulle will be
forced to retire or to make con
cessions, which is very unlikely.
This situation will influence
England’s chances of entering
the Common Market and the
political unity of the Atlantic
Community.
Adenauer is one ol the great
est leaders in Europe but is get
ting old and Christian Herter
feels that he wiU retire to the
honorary iposition of President
of the German Republic within
18 months. His party in the Ger

man government feels that hi
has aligned himself too clasell
with DeGaulle and the outloo|
is that when Adenauer retir
Germany will become more oul
going.
The low countries favor thi
entry of England into the Con
mon Market and the politic
extension of the unit in the
rection of the United States fol
now, and the Atlantic Commun
ity as a whole later. Italy alsJ
shares these feelings but hasn’I
been very vocal on the mattej
because of domestic problems.]
Many i>eople are worriei
aiK>ut communism in Europ
and the effect it will have ia
the Common Market and thJ
political union of the Atlantic
Community. According to HeH
ter, the danger of a communisi
take-over in Europe is decrea
ing and that even in Italy an(]
France the communist partie:
are in the minority with
twen 22 and 25 per cent.
In the United States gover
ment there is developing
theme of interdependence witl
the other countries of the Atl
lantic Community which waf
helped along by the Presidenl
in his July 4th speech. TherJ
has been a new office in thJ
State Department created foa
dealing with affairs of the At|
lantic Community.
There are three things bednd
worked upon which may help t^
unite the political and economil
cal aspects of the countries ol
the Atlantic Community. Tha
United States is leading the waji
toward establishing a high coml
mand in NATO to make dedsl
ions for the group (Herter conl
sidered this essential). This
could eventually develop intq
the executive branch of an inJ
ternational government. Second
is the establishment of a courtj
along European lines to settle]
disputes over treaties, and coa
and steel or trade agreementj
of the Atlantic Community!
Third is a legislative body fron
all the countries of the Atlantid
Community of NATO to meet!
in Paris to discuss the probJ
lems confronting the NATO orl
ganization. This might conceivJ
ably develop into an internal
tional body for the free world|
Of the three, the third pla
holds the most chcince of suc-|
cess in the near future.
If any, or all, of these, oij
other plans along these samel
lines do develop it will be on^T
more step of a determined pco-j
pie towards an Internationa
community in which national|
interests are somewhat aside in
the hopes of benefiting the]
whole organization.
We may well go to the xnoonJ
but that’s not very far. The!
greatest distance we have to|
cover still lies within us.
