Discusses
Universe
A world-renowned astron-
iomer iota a university audi
ence Monday night that there
are more than 100 thousand
billion stars in the universe,
each of which radiates enough
energy to maintain life on a
suitably placed planet.
Dr. Harlow Shapley, lectur
er on cosmography at Har
vard University said this was
one of the three factors which
now show the need of a fourth
adjustment in man's relation
to the universe.
Dr. Shapley spoke to a joint j
dinner meeting of Phi Beta
J Kappa and Sigma Xi on "Gal
jaxies and What' The v do to
Is". He will give a public
; lecture Tuesday at 11 p.i-i. in
Love Library auditorium on
"Religion in aa Age of Sci

i The former director of theiZech.
Harvard College Observatory)
'listed the second factor fori
adjustment as the results of;
biochemical and microbiolog-'
ical experiments in recent;
years.
Experiments
"These experiments show'
that the beginning 0f iife cn
la suitably placed planet sur-
face is a natural evolution of
the living from the non-liv-ine."
The third factor he listed
was the observation of the ex-
panding universe. In the days

Poets Three Are They
English Profs Strive For Contagion In Verse
"Entertainment with mean

three University of Nebraska

past three years.
Through radio, television
and live poetry recitals, Dr.
James E. Miller Jr., chair
man of the department, and
Bernicc Slote and Dr. Robert
E. Knoll, associate profes
sors of English, have shared
their love of poetry with the
public.
In doing so, the poetry trio
as the three professors
have become known at-
tempt to keep their recitals
as non-technical as possible
with the aim of interesting
a maximum number of peo
ple. Response to the programs

that poetry outlives physical
monuments, so we chose the
phrase for the title of the se
ries," she explained.
Poetry that can be under
stood at first reading is one
of the major problems in pre
paring the program, Miss
Slote said. Because of this,
selection of poets is made
beforehand. However, an dis
cussion on the programs is
spontaneous.
Technique
A technique used by the
group is to take lines from
a writer and discuss their
meaning. For instance, the
group may take Ben John
son's lines". ..in short
measures life may perfect
be," and interpret it for lis
tener i as: ,"one should
perfection in quality and sot
an size.
j The trio feels this method
ol contacting the public n
( one of the ways the humatii
; ties field can "shew the life
! and meaning" in arts and tbt
j imagination.
