Durham Nays
Atom Confab
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (!'
Rep. Durham (D-NC), vice chair
man of the Senate-House Atomic
Energy Committee, said tonight
that the pressure for an atomic
conference with Russia is "dan
gerous."
Endorsing President Truman's
decision to match power with
power and build up atomic de
fenses while trying to bring the
Soviet Union into an agreement
for effective atomic controls;
Durham declared:
"It disturbs me to read news
paper statements some of them
issued by scientists suggesting
that we retreat rrom realism and
pin our hopes to some schems
or other that could succeed onry
if all men, and particularly the
Communists, were completely en
lightened and unselfish.'
"Keeping our atomic defenses
in order can only buy us time,"
he said.
Star Rainbows
Will Replace
Winter Show
New Performance
To Begin Mondqy
At Planetarium
The last presentation of "The
Winter Stars" , in the Morehcad
Planetarium will be given on
Monday, at 8:30.
On the following evening "Star
Rainbows" will take over, and
will continue for the two weeks
before the Easter show begins.
"There is a classic story," Dr.
Marshall relates, "about the sweet
old lady who came up to speak
to an astronomer" after he had
given a public lecture about the
universe."
"You know," she said, "I can
understand how you astronomers
find out what's in the stars, how
far they are, how much they
weigh and how fast they travel.
But for the life of me," she com
plained, "I don't know how you
learn their names!"
The names of the stars are
about the only item of informa
tion that one does not determine
from the rainbows of 'the stars,
according to the director of the
Morehead Planetarium.
"By passing the light of a star
through- a-prism, to produce a
colored band of light we call
the spectrum, we have something
that can be analyzed to tell us
the chemical composition, the
temperature, the distance, the
mass, the motion of the star," Dr.
Marshall explained.
"So much of our information
about the universe is today de
termined by the instrument we
call the spectroscope that it is
a pity that the well-nigh magical
workings of this field of science
are not better known.". ;
In the demonstration "Star
Rainbows," this technique wil?
be demonstrated ' and explained.
A giant spectrum will be spread
across the projection dome of
the Planetarium, to illustrate the
points under discussion.
"As an exposition of how wc
learn what we know about these
distant points of light, the new
show in the Morehead Planetar
ium is one of the' most spectacular
and at the same time informa
tive," he said.
From Feb. 28 through March
13, performances will be given at
8:30 every evening, and at 2
o'clock matinees on Saturdays
and Sundays.

For Two Students
Recent action oi tne Men's

instatcment, Council Clerk Pete J
Gems saia yesterday.
Two students haa been report
ed to the Council because tneir
papers snowed similarities in the
true-ialse section oi their exami
nations, Gerns said. During the
nearing, one of the two admitted
having received iniormation' from
the other's paper without his
neighbor's knowledge.
'lfte other student testified to
having given no -help whatever,
and to having had no knowledge
of the accused's transposition of
quiz material.
The guilty student was sus
pended for a minimum of one
quarter with the , recommenda
tion that he be shown leniency
upon application for reinstate
ment. In sentencing him, the
council recommended that he keep
up with his studies as much as
possible under the circumstances.
The other student was exonerated
of all charges. w - :
In another Honor Code casethe
student in question admitted, hav
ing copied test material from his
notebook. He said he realized
that he had done wrong and that
he regretted having used outside
information on the examination,
being fully aware of his obliga
tions under the honor system.
The council suspended this stu
dent with a recommendation ior
leniency because of hivhonest at
titude during the hearing.
Two students who had been
suspended last year applied for
reinstatement in the spring quar
ter, Gerns reported. Both stu
dents records were caretuny re
viewed by the council.
Both of them had worked while
under suspension and had at
tempted to review some of their
previous school work in order to
facilitate the continuation or stuu
ics after reinstatement.
The Council acted favorably on
both applications.

Public Kiss
Stirs Town;
Cops Prowl
Bethany, Oklahoma
Students Walk Out
Regarding Action
BETHANY, Okla., Feb. 22 P)
Police cruisers guarded the
Bethany High School grounds to
day. But there wasn't any trouble
among students over yesterday's
expulsion of five teen-age leaders
in a student walkout.
About 30 students walked out
Friday following a kissing inci
dent when the basketball queen
was crowned. The "strike" was
against strict school rule in this
strait-laced town of 2,500 a half
a dozen miles west of Oklahoma
City.
Police Chief O. F. McLain
sent two officers to the school "to
protect school officials," Super
intendent Harry Edwards and
Principal Mrs. Alonzo Norwood.
The officers remained all day
and when school was dismissed
they were jointed by four others
in cruisers.
The climax of the 5-day affair
may come torfight. The School
Board meets then to review the
matter. Parents of the students
are expected to attend and pro
test too harsh discipline and. se
vere control , over .student ac
tivities. A committee of parents met
last night. They voted to retain
an attorney and carry their fight
to District Court if necessary.
The rhubard started last Thurs
day when Riddell Riggs, 16,
crowned Charlotte McLain, 16, as
basketball queen then kissed
her.
Public kissing is frowned on in
Bethany, where parishioners of
the Nazarene Church dominate
affairs. Beer, cigarettes and wom
en in shorts also are taboo.
The students walked out Fri
day but wcrc back in school
Monday. Five of them, though,
were suspended for their role in
the protest. They were Jay
Stradcr, 18, Paul Withcrspoon, 16,
Robert Hale, 16, Charles Wiman,
Jr., 16, and Jcncll Ellard, 16, all
were still out of school today.
One parent spoke out today for
calmness. He was Charles Wi
man, registrar at Bcthany-Penicl
College, a Nazarene school. His
son was among those expelled.
"There's been too much hy
steria about the" whole thing,"
Wiman said. "I believe the kiss
ing incident had nothing to do
with the walkout."
Kc attributed student dissatis
faction to "outside influences,"
which hn identified as parents
and others who "tell their chil
dren what t do and seem to
encourage acts of rebellion."
Colleges Are
U.S.lifeblood
DURHAM, Feb. 22 (!') Col
leges and universities today"are
fighting on the front line for civi
lization," Dr. Elton Trueblood,
professor of philosophy of Earl
ton College, said at Duke Uni
versity this afternoon.
In this fight, the problem, the
distinguished educator said, is to
determine how moral influence
can be brought to bear. "We can
not make people good by telling
them to be good," he stated.
Educators face a challenge to
day to make their institutions
"pumping stations of civilization,"
Dr. Trueblood said. "Unfortu
nately, not all education is good;
not all colleges arc equally con
cerned with their tasks."
Too many colleges graduate, he
said, can't read and don't under
stand what they read after leav
ing the campus.
