His writings include such topics as: space science and ex ploration effects of nuclear weapons, hazards of radioactive fall-out, hazards of space travel, civil defense, nuclear test policy and secrecy in science. 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- Family PHARMACY Prescriptions Our Specialty Laurinburg, N. C.

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 lects oriental art objects in cluding scrolls and kakemonoes which decorate his home, which is only a few minutes drive from George Washington’s es tate on the Potomac.

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 next program in the St. Andrews series will be a con cert by the Alabama Quartet February 19.

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 CLARK SPORTING GOODS CO., INC. ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT — GAMES — TOYS 128 Maxwell Street Telephone 433-3151 Fayetteville, N. C. Specializing In Team & Personal Athletic Equipment Southeastern North Carolina’s Largest & Finest Athletic Store 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. —Charles de GauUej Laurinburg Bakery Dial CR 6-0686 Specialists hi Wedding & Birthday Cakes Party Cakes Pies Donuts “We Serve To Serve Again”
