MARGARET MEAD SPEAKS
AT UNC-6
—Jeffrey D. Martin
—September 19. "Twen
tieth Century Faith: Hope and
Survival" was the topic of Dr.
Margaret Mead's lecture
given Thursday night. Her
lecture opened the 1974-75
UNC-G Concert/Lecture Se
ries. Dr. Mead, world-renown
anthropologist and author/co
author/editor of over thirty
books, pointed out that the
atom bomb is now twenty-nine
years old. Man has had the
ability to destroy himself and
the earth but has not yet done
so. Dr. Mead expressed
concern that most people still
thinkin pre-bomb terms.
"Most people don't know
enough not to have a nuclear
war," she said.
The hope of the future, Dr.
Mead sees, is in the young
people who have been born
since the bomb was invented.
These young people under
stand better than their
parent's generation the threat
that nuclear war poses to
mankind. She had reserva
tions, though, about the
extent of student political
activism.
"American and English
students have never been
political except in emergen
cies," Dr. Mead said,
probably also referring to the
student unrest over the draft
and the war during the sixties.
Acceptance into medical
The Guilfordian
schools and law schools is now
the pressing issue for most
students.
After World War II we
believed we could have
anything that we desired. We
produced enormous amounts
of plastics and other things not
biodegradable.
"The world is at present
filled with thing we don't
know how to get rid of,"
observed Margaret Mead. We
built everything we had the
knowledge to make, up until
the SST project was turned
down.
Mead also made references
to the recent UN Conference
in Bucharest. She said that
even the developing nations
were beginning to admit that
population and pollution are
real problems. In the next
twenty-five years, she thinks,
nations will have to work
interdependently to solve the
population, pollution, fuel,
and food crises. The hope for
the future of the world lies in
how well the nations of the
world can cooperate during
these next twenty-five years.
"For the first time your
neighbor's welfare is your
own," she stated.
Margaret Mead ended the
lecture and picked up her
fork-stick cane and turned to
walk off-stage. The audience
rose applauding. Dr. Mead
turned and smiled, then left.
