Dr. Tutweiler Speaks
On Science, Religion
On Wednesday, February 23, a
good mnnber of people were
present to hear Dr. F. B.
Tutweiler, professor of chemistry
at Wingate, speak on “A Conflict
—Science and Religion.” Dr.
Tutweiler examined and ex
plained both sides of the contro
versy.
According to Dr. Tutweiler,
science deals chiefly with the
material world, whereas religion
deals with non-materialistic
things such as moral values.
Both deal with man and his
environment. The conflict lies
elsewhere. The question, he said,
is “Who is to say what is more
real to people?” According to
him it is that which is more
meaningful to the individual that
determines what is more real to
him.
Dr. Tutweiler explained that
both science and religion have
their assumptions and limita
tions. The scientist’s assumptions
are based on the belief that the
universe is “orderly”. jVs an
Temple Offers
Study Grants
In Mathematics
Temple University's College of
Education is offering an opportu
nity for graduates to combine full
time teaching and graduate study
in the Junior High Mathematics
Internship Project. Required are
9 undergraduate credits in
mathematics and an interest in
teaching disadvantaged young
sters in Philadelphia.
No education courses are pre
requisites. After an intensive
summer session, interns begin
teaching in September with the
the help of a master teacher and
receive $5500 for the first year.
There is also a tuition grant of
$650. For more details, interested
seniors should contact Miss Eng
lish or Dr. Jesse Rudnick, direc
tor Junior High Mathematics
Internship Project, Temple Uni
versity, Philadelphia, Pa. 19122

Today To Open Forum
example he cited the belief in the
Virgin Birth which many scien
tists say could not have happened
because of the “orderliness of the
universe.”. The scientist believes
in observation and reason as the
method of obtaining ultimate
truths. Through reason and ob
servation, the scientist can con
struct models of the physical
world, from which he can predict
what physical behavior will be.
The limitations of science, he
said, were that it did not deal
with moral values and that it
was dependent upon a human
observer.
The assumptions of religion
were that (1) some kind of God
and some kind of moral values
did exist, and that (2) revelation
was an acceptable way to arrive
at truth. The limitations of
religion were that it cannot
provide material mechanisms
’and that it is not materially
useful in dealing with the physi
cal world.
Dr. Tutweiler then discussed
individual attitudes toward sci
ence and religion. There are
those, he said, who are interested
mainly in science and very little
in religion; there are those whose
chief interest is religion and
whose interest in science is nil;
and there are those whose inter
est in both is equal. Perhaps the
most interesting of these views
was Dr. Tutweiler’s own. He
feels that the physical world can
be viewed through two “lenses”
— the lens of science and the
lens of religion; but when the
world is viewed through these
two lenses it is comparable to
looking through binoculars — the
picture becomes focused in the
mind.
Perhaps the major flaw of Dr.
Tutweiler’s talk was his failings
as a speaker. He spoke down to
his audience, his sentences tend
ed to become vague and wander
ing, and he seemed vbry ill at
ease. His ideas were quite good,
his analogies were clear, and his
examples were well-chosen. How
ever one could hardly help
feeling that he was poorly pre
pared*
Construction
On Building
Almost Over
Construction work on the Stu
dent Union Building, as well as
the new Administration and En
gineering buildings, will soon be
completed.
The upper floor of the Stu
dent Union will be completed by
March 28. This addition will
allow the lounge to he extend
ed, a ballroom, and several
additional meeting rooms simi
lar to those now in use to be
constructed. The second floor
addition, to be completed in
April, will be an extension of
the cafeteria area. The lower
floor will house Student Gov
ernment, newspaper, annual,
and student organization offices
as well as a hobby area for
student use.
By mid March construction on
the new administration building
will be completed.
If the furnishings arrive on
time, furniture, records, equip
ment and the administrative staff
will be moved in by April.
The Engineering Building is
scheduled to be completed by
June. It will be furnished and
ready for classes by fall semes
ter of 1966.
Future plans for construction
on campus consist of a Field
House with showers and equip
ment, and playing fields to be
built behind the student Union.
This will enable physical educa
tion and intramural programs to
get under way.
Two Bands
Will Play
For Dance
Students will experience a
rather unusual blend of “smooth”
and “rock and roll” music at the
“Miss UNC-C Dance” Friday
night, March i.
The featured musical group
for the gala will be the
“Knights of Music.” This is a
group from Shelby, N.C. which
carries on the traditions of the
big bands of a by-gone era
(such as Dorsey and Miller).
The Knights of Music are not
new to our campus smce they
performed for the May Day
Dance last spring.
During the two-thirty-minute
intermissions a “rock and roll”
group known as (he Alpacas
will offer students a change of
pace. This six-piece combo
features a ventriloquist act in
addition to contemporary mu
sical arrangements.
The highlight of the evening
will come when Dr. Bonnie Cone
crowns this year’s “Miss UNC-
C.”
Governor Dan K. Moore has accepted an invitation to
present the greetings for the formal opening of the “Uni
versity Forum’' today.
The three-session symposium on “The University and

Langdale will speak on “The University in an Urban
Community”.
Session II — 11:30 a.m. to 12 P.M. — will also be held

the format.
Legislature Votes
For Atliletic Fee
During a special meeting of
the Student Legislature, a mo
tion to separate student activi
ties fees and athletic fees was
passed by a vote of 18 for and 1
against.
Under this plan the $20.00 per
year student activity fees will
be retained and an additional
$10.00 per year athletic fee will
be required of any student
registered for seven semester
hours or more. Students taking
less than seven hours will pay
fees proportionate to the num
ber of hours they are taking.
Discussion prior to passage o'
the motion revealed that the
increased revenue resulting from
this plan would allow increased
student activities as well as a
larger intercollegiate athletic
pregram.
The legislature chose the
above mentioned plan over one
which would have increased the
activity fee ten dollars per
year. It was noted (hat the plan
chosen would allow the atliletic
department a better knowledge
of exactly how much money
they would have each year than
if they were forced to petition
the activities fees committee
each year for their funds.
The plan adopted by the legis
lature, and' approved by admini
stration officials, will be submit
ted to the executive board of the
consolidated board of trustees. It
will then be reviewed by the
entire board of trustees.
