By JOHN M AUSTIN (The guest editorial for this issue of the Carboniclo was written by John M Austin science instructor at Carbon College) to Many people today ask if it is necessary for the government denational than other for research basic scientific purposes support fense For example Former Secretary of Defense Charles E Wilson resupposedly to justify the inadequacy of financial support for basic search sarcastically defined it as “what you do when you don’t know what you’re doing" Generally people think of basic research as the opposite of practical research But is this so? Some of us probably remember studying such things as methods for determining the inner temperature of distant stars we probably thought such things were cunning but couldn’t understand why anyone would want to know such information When Louis Pasteur reported that germs might transmit diseases he was ridiculed Fancynoa grown man worrying about being attacked by bugs so small that one could sec them! When the Austrian Monk Gregor Johann Mendel red with amused himself by observing the results of most his even Garden farsightin the white flowering peas Monastery momentous the failed to implications ed contemporaries imagine Yet without basic knowledge of the behavior of distant stars we would not be placing satellites in orbit today without knowledge about bacteria there would be no vacancies and antibiotics and without those observations on inheritance of color in peas modem genetics with its importance to agriculture and medicine could never have developed Such considerations are bound to make people realize that the more manifestly sensible and practical a research project the closer it is to the commonplace we already know Thus paradoxically knowledge about the seemingly most farfetched impractical phenomena may prove the likeliest to yield novel basic information and lead us to new heights of discovery Man has gained unprecedented power through investigating natural laws This power can lead us to the brightest chapter in human history — or the final chapter We must ask ourselves one supreme question and act according to our answer Shull we fight each other or shall wc fight nature? Men attack in bitter competition for profit Nations attempt to exterminate other nations in the struggle for dominance The real enemy is nature Yet we can make nature our servant Let man measure his strength against an adversary worthy of the strongest contender an adversary at once powerful enough to challenge us all and rich enough to provide us all with priceless treasure as long as the universe endures Young people must be educated to understand that from now on man's great wars will not be fought with muscle Ilis battles will not be won by tiic glorious intoxicating momentary courage to face danger and die for a cause They must learn that the great victories in peace and war will be won by intellectual vigor and by the sober persistent dedication of their entire lives They will have to learn that it Is far more difficult to live than to die for a cause cross-breedi- ng The dramatic production of “All My Sons” is soon to be shown to the public The play is noted for vivid

school year the Carbonicle lacked one essential member of the staff a photographer The staff had suffered a great loss when the faithful photographer of last year was graduated But their worries are now over James is back on the job The Carbonicle is now replete with exciting pictures of activities at Carbon James makes and develops his own prints this enables the Carlxiniclc staff to have more pictures in the paper at a much lower cost It is not often that a person is so gifted and at the same time so dciendublc The Faculty Women’s Club met in the band room of the Music Building Monday

wonderful to sit in the darkness of a large gymnasium durfilthe late hours of evening to see the fading rays of light comedust-ladeing n of shafts tering through the tall majestic windows to watch the floor criss-croon the hard make weird already designs light covered with painted lines Then one can look up at the roof which is usually 30 to 40 feet above the floor It is challenging to visualize how many square feet of area there are in such a building It is wonderful to do this especially if you're a dance committee chairman This is probably the “most fun” job of any school year It usually starts when the class or club president starts to talk to you again It’s the first time he or she has talked to you directly other than an occasional "shut-up- " during meetings since heshe was elected Not that offices let people go to their heads mind you but here the president has looked down his nose at you since the first of the year (and you were the one that nominated him and told everybody what a good Joe he was and to put him in) and suddenly in the middle of the hall he spots you spreads his arms as if he were going to fly screams your name at the top of his lungs (he had to look your name up in the directory and had it written on his cuff so he wouldn’t forget) Screaming the last first and middle name in a sickening way he runs madly up to you wraps both arms around you and kisses your checks This display of affection over he drags you to one of the comers and asks "Why have you been avoiding me?” You start to mumble something about his saying for you to get lost a couple of days ago when he cuts you off with “You're just the man I want to see” At this time a small number of club or class officers have casually gathered around and are casually waving Carbon banners while they casually hum a version of the school song and the French national anthem combined Then the president starts to tell you how great you are and that you’re the only man for the job and how the group needs your work (by this time a violin player has casually appeared playing soft music) and the president starts to cry and through tears says “Will you do it?” Through all the performance you've been a little shaky because have they caught you right after a test for which you had to stay up all night to study and all the time the president has been coyly twisting your arm higher and higher up your back so faintly you say yes At this the club or class secretary rushes up with a form pricks your finger drips a little blood into a pen and has you sign your name to the paper which reads something like this: “I the undersigned pledge all my time effort and if necessary my life to making a dance a success by being the chairman” So there you are sitting in the gymnasium in the middle of the night quietly whimpering to yourself wondering what you're going ‘to do You are now a dance chairman You can pick a committee and start the week's work to prepare for the dance This is what you could do but as you reach in your pocket you know you're not going to This time you’ll get out of it for sure You raise the gun to your temple and shoot (Let's make Greece
