Speaking on "Wisdom versus
Know-How," Joseph .Krutch la

been so tremendously successful
that many people refuse to recog

scientific answer."
"But the unfortunate facts are,"
he said, "that there are Ao scien

He cited the classic example of
the Atom Bomb.
"Science can tell us how to
make, but science can not an

circumstances the A-bomb should
be used and what people should
be destroyed. There is no scientific
answer possible. What we have to
do is put more stress on the man
and less on the atom."

over-emphasis on science lays in

Sets Up
Program
The University Red Cross Col
lege Unit is setting up an Emer
gency Blocd Fund Program to be
used by University students.
This program, which is being
undertaken to help any student
who needs blood for an emergency
accident or illness, is designed to
maintain a reserve list of donors
who would be willing to give
blood if the need should arise.
At the present time, a student
n.-o'Dig blood must replace any
bluoo. he uses or pay $25 a pint
icr it. Under the proposed Red
Cross plan any University student
requiring blood would receive it
without cast or obligation.
As an example, a student, Nick

this blood could nave been sup
plied to him immediately by
means of the reserve list.
The list of prospective donors
will be made up of all University
students who are willing and able
to give.
Students between the ages of 18
and 21 must have their parents'
or legal guardian's permission in
order to contribute. Female don
ors should weigh at least 120
pounds, and males msut weigh a
minimum oi 14(1 pounds. Donors
must also be free of any blood
diseases.
"The list will act as a reserve
supply of names which may simply
be contacted in case of an
emergency," announced Red Cross
President Larry Epstein. "Stu
dents need not feel that they
would be called upon constantly
to contribute blood, for donors will
be required only in emergencies."
Students who wish to contribute
should contact Ray Krueger at
2-1B67 as soon as possible. The list
is to be drawn up immediately.

Arab Status
In Middle East
Discussed
Bernadine Orloff, free lance re
porter and writer who has just re
turned from the Middle East, dis
cussed the condition of the Arab
rations in the Middle East today.
Miss Orioff. speaking on the
topic "Can Peace Be Maintained
Between the Arabs and Israel",
said. "I had the feeling that some
thing fine could be made of Egyp
tian children and Egypt if the
standard of living could be raised."
She told of a visit to an Egyptian
home in which the cattle and hu
mans were housed under one roof.
"You can't fight who is respon
sible for those conditions. Whoever
is responsible for that has been
dead a long time," Miss Orloff
said.
"Nasser is faced with four dread
ful enemies in Egypt today, fear,
poverty, disease and mistrust,"
Miss Orloff said. "You can't tell
the Egyptian farmer you must do
this. Yoj have to ask him come
watch me do this. The next year he
wjll take your better method and
Jo it himself the next year. It is
slow process," ilie concluded.
