HERB BODMAN Night Editor ....Assistant Editor We happen to know that scien tists the world over are involved in a gigantic conspiracy to con trol all phases of human activity. The movement has gained such momentum during the last few years that science will soon as sume complete dominance, we predict. -Right now one can scarcely breathe without scientists say ing just how it should be done. No longer can. a person just sit down and eat. There have to be calories and vitamins lurking around the place. No longer can one simply inhabit a home. Proper ventilating, proper heat ing, and proper lighting all come Nlht sEorts Edltor into play. People don't have per sonalities any more. They have complexes and frustrations and adjustments. The advent of the atomic bomb put scientists in politics, where by they intend to gain control of the various governments. Up to recently, a scientist did not dare open his mouth about po litical matters. Now, one can scarcely pick up a paper seeing where some scientist ominously Professor Craig touched off a lot of discussion Wednesday, ' predicts this or that unless such He raised many momentous questions, though we feel he an- and such is done with the atomic 1 m swprpd none.

They are never content to let Nature alone, but must "im prove" it.

What's happened to the Red THE ANSWER TO LIBERALISM continually re-discovers, that there are permanent and transient values. It is the re-emphasis of these permanent values that would characterize the resurgence of culture or civilization or whatever we call it. If these values are permanent, then per haps if we try to find out in what medium they are presently transmitted, no matter how small the bearer, we can get a clue to the WHY. ... . . If you want to, find conscientious, idealist, hard-working people, look to tnV progressive movements today. If you are looking for people who seek truth, who try to propagate it, who apply ideals to life, look to the progressive movements. If you want to know why there is a dirth of these virtues, note with what obstacles these organizations are hampered. And you can not isolate the problems of the campus from the general situa tion in the country. , Professor Craig says society is at a 'low ebb. Let us grant that. A characteristic of such a society is laxity. ' Therefore, he says, WORK I Get everybody working! Prime the pump with encouraging words ! Professor Craig's speech studiously avoided all reference to politics, economics, or sociology. Stripped of all concrete refer enes, the words sound empty, meaningless. Work hard and be come a politician! What kind of politician? Like the North Carolina Senators and Congressmen? Then what becomes of these permanent values? , There remains but one ac tivity which has not been taken oyer by the scientists sex. They have already made several attempts to control it (artificial insemination, birth control, psychoanalysis, etc), but these have been unsuc cessful. By and large, sex is still sex, plain and ordinary, the same as it has been for a few thousand years. We sup pose that people are still just ignorant enough to get a huge bang out of it even though science and technology are not involved. This continued enjoyment of sex, m its original lorm, is ex- Army? What of the Iranian For eign Minister's pledge to fight to the last Persian soldier? What of the Russian "withdrawal" from the UNO?

A western bloc consisting of England, France, and the Low Countries seems highly improbable. Soviet eco nomic and military vulnerability lies principally in the south, where a hostile Turkey and a highly-combustible Iran are sit uated. Russia's own large oil deposits in the Caucasus Moun tains, particularly in Baku, are just a stone's throw from Teh ran. It therefore became the pri mary consideration of the Soviet Union to create a buffer-state between itself and Iran, and the province of Azerbaijan was given that dubious privilege. Azerbaijan now exisits as a semi-independent state in the northernmost portion of Iran. . .

Merrymaking at Smith's party for veterans in Blackie's Bar is still resounding in words of praise. Bl'ackie, as master of ceremonies, bartender, and elec trician for the floor show props, gave a certain thump to the evening which was echoed in Teenie Thomas's "Indian Love Call" and the , chorus line tap ping of Joan Miller, Page Hogg, and Marie Holman. All women's organizations on campus are clamoring to be next on the "to- be-entertained" list being check ed off by veterans. The weekend party roster: DKE's, Phi Delt's, Beta's, ATO's, from Sparrow's Meadow to Shorty's Cabin, all have parties a-brewing. While Ghi Omega is celebrating its fifty-first found er's day with a glorified Sunday night coffee on Friday, Pi Phi's are having an at-home luncheon in honor of their four new ini tiates (initiated as of tomor row) : Liz Nash, Helen Morrison, Fran Welch, and Caroline Long. (Parenthetically speaking, Chi Omega has added five new mem bers to its active roll: Liz Petesch, Jane Curtis, B. Bell Jeffers, Sarah Wood, and Mary Harris.)
