"The world population Is
now increasing so rapidly that
approximately 40 per cent of
all the people who have ever
lived are alive today," an em

said Monday.
Dr. Dael Wolfle, executive
officer of the American Asso
ciation for the Advancement
of Science presented the first
of three Montgomery Lec
tures on "Science and Public
Policy" at the University.
See 'Hope'
The world is at a point now,
Dr. Wolfle pointed out, where
it can see the hope of reach

living for everyone.
Whether m a n k i n d w 1 1 1

how soon, are "questions that

search is adequately support
ed, even though it does n'ot
conduct much itself, Dr. Wol
fle, maintained.
Money Justified
In reference to government
support of basic research,
Dr. Wolfle observed that
spending tax money in support
of basic research "can be
justified on the grounds that
the result will benefit society
generally."
The scientist urged modifi
cation of income tax law to
encourage voluntary gifts to
universities and laboratorie
and the undertaking by indus
try of increased basic re
search. Looking at the future, Dr.
Wolfle said that as raw ma
terials are used up and as
the world faces important
changes in the primary
sources of power, "we can an
ticipate some serious interna
tional problems."
Who Gets Oil?
"Who gets to use the dwind
ling supplies of petroleum will
be an important issue," he
added.
The peak in United States'
petroleum production will be
reached within five to ten
years, according to Dr. Wol
fle. Rnth fnnA cmniw Qrf ih
supply of foods and essential
minerals will depend on the
increased use of energy
Sea A Source
The sea is a possible source
for both the food and the min
erals. Desalting water could
make better use of the world's
arid regions.
"Such desalting is feasible,"
' ne explained, "and while the
price will undoubtedly go
down as technological im
provement occur, there will
still be a very substantial en-
ersy requirement w remove
tne sa,t and then to transport
tne sweetened water uphill
frri tne oceans to the a r i d
lands."
ine sea win also be a
source for minerals, but get
ting them on land where they
can be processed and used in
an engineering job of huge
dimensions, as is the problem
of extracting the elements
Depends On Mind
Our success will depend on
the human mind, Dr. Wolfle
maintained, with the fertile
imagination of the trained sci
entist, the imaginative devel
opment of the engineer and
the skillfull management of
increasingly complex organi
zations. Aloofness or antagonism to
science, however, he empha
sized, "may be suicidal."
Each person must and can
have "a general understand
ing of science without know
ing all the details, just as he
can have a general under
standing of differing cultures
without knowing all of their
details.
Dr. Wolfle will present the
second and third lectures

Tribunal Hears
Trespassing Case
Fourteen of the individuals
whose cases were heard by
the Student Tribunal March
19 were issued conduct warn
ings, J. Philip Colbert, dean
of the division of student af
fairs, said.
All 14 cases dealt with a
compalint of trespassing. No
trespassing charge had been
pressed in county court, the
dean said.
Letter
The warning consisted of a
letter to the students and to
their parents, calling the
matter to their attention and
admonishing careful action
in the future.
An additional case on the
same charge was dismissed.
"As it turned out, the in
dividual was not involved,"
Dean Colbert explained.
Five other cases heard by
the Tribunal in their lengthy
! pre-uasier session resuuea in
' Pion for the students in
voivea. f our of the cases
dealt with alcoholic bever
ages and their illegal posses
sion or consumption.
Pilfering Case
One case concerned the
"appropriation of property
not belonging to the individu
al" or pilfering, the dean
said. . -
No action was taken on
two of the cases heard. The
Tribunal decided to continue
the hearings of these cases
until their next session.
In all the March 19 cases,
the action taken by the dean
of student affairs coincided
with the action recommend
ed by the Tribunal, Dean Col
bert said.

New College
Program
A new NROTC Advanced
Science and Engineering Pro
gram has been inaugurated
by the U.S. Navy. The pro
gram applies to the univer
sity's class of '59 and subse
quent NROTC graduates.
This program is designed to
assist the U.S. Navy in the
education and training of sci
entists and engineers for
f ,u r t h e r developments in
"space technology "
Final selection of participat
ing individuals will be based
primarily upon their academ
ic record, the "recommenda
tions of the Commanding Offi
cers of the NROTC units and
their demontrasted perform
ance as officers during their
first five to six months of
active duty.
This program is available
to eligible midshipmen of the
regular and Contract NROTC
students who are completing
their college work leading to
degree in engineering or al
lied field and who, will re
ceive commissions as En
signs USN, or Ensigns USNR

Why go out for the c h e e r
squad?
One reason is you get ex

ChaiWiers said the squad
would probably go ta Kansas
State, Iowa State. Missouri
and possibly one other school
next season.
"The trips are fun," Miss
Zikmund pointed out, "Out

Chambers' advice to the

and pleasing with an average
amount of co-ordination.

girls should wear clothes that

Wet Panels,
Cafe Line
Are Causes
Complications arising from
flooded kitchen ceilings and
incomplete cafeteria linei
have delayed opening the new
Union cafeteria until "at
least April 13."
"The ribbing for the ceil- .
ing is all in," Duane Lake,
Union managing director, .
said, "but the panels were
caught in a flood in Ohio.
They'll have to be re-manufactured."
He added that the new
panels should be in some
time this week, "at least as
far as we know. I'm not so
optimistic about promises!"
He explained that the kitch
ens had been moved and
were now being operated, al
though "ceilingless."
Cafeteria operation is being
held up because the cafeteria
line has not come from the
manufacturer.
"They say it will be here
April 3," Lake commented.
The delay will set the open
ing dates of all facilities
back "a couple weeks "
Novicki Is
New Chief
Of Rifles
Nebraska junior Larry No

commander of Pershing Ri
fles at their annual conven
tion last week here at the uni
versity. Former national comman
der Pat Kuncl also of Nebras
ka made the announcement.
Novicki tentatively named
Fred Howlett deputy com
mander and Stan F o n k i n
chief of staff of the national
fraternity.
Pershing Rifles is a nation
al honorary military society
for ROTC basic cadets. It
was founded in 1894 by the
late General John Pershing,
a former. Lincolnite.
National headquaiters for
the organization are located
here at the university.
Envoys representing units
in 156 colleges in the United
States and Puerto Rico at
tended the convention. There
are about 7,500 members in
Pershing Rifles.
During the course of busi
ness the delegates raised the
initiation fee to $10. This will
bring in around $4,500 per
year in additional revenu
according to Novicki.
