Federal Gov't Tops All
In Science Policy Push
The federal government
has become the most influen
tial and financially powerful
agency in tha establishment
of policies in support of sci
ence, said Dr, Dael Wolfle
Wednesday.
In the second of three
Montgomery Lectures the
executive officer of the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science
spoke on "Science in the Fed
eral Government." j
Guidance
The question of over-all top
level guidance for the govern
ment's scientific activities is
the most important and con
fusing problem of federal re
sponsibility for science, Dr.
Wolfle said.
A new Federal Council for
Science and Technology,
which has not yet met has
been established to provide
tliis guidance. The Council
will consist of representatives
of departments and agencies
with major scientific interest,
he explained.
Dr. Wolfle suggested estab
lishing an organization simi
lar to the wartime Office of
Scientific Research and De
velopment in order to resolve
the conflict in the military
services between their pri
mary task of being ready to
defend the nation on one hand
and the responsibility of con
ducting weapon development

A Student Council member's
job is never lacking in excite
ment or novelty.
When a report reached the
Council Library Committee
Wednesday that card playing
had become prominent in the
Love Library study room,
Council members took action.
Council inembers Bob Blair
and Chuck Wilson were desig
nated special investigators by
the council.
Accuracy
The accuracy of the report
was born out Thursday as
they found five groups of male
students indulging in the for
bidden practice.
Casual explanations of the
Library's policy of wanting
to retain the room for study
as it was originally planned,
were sufficient to obtain as
surances by the offenders
that they would curtail their
activities.
One culprit exclaimed when
confronted with the problem,
"Why don't they put up a
sign? I didn't know we
couldn't play cards".
Bridge Major
Another member across the
way said "It'll hurt my bridge
major but I guess we'll have
to quit."

offense," an engineer c o m -mented.

Dr. Wolfle also explained
the operations of a proposed
new Department of Science
and Technology pointing out
that it would provide cabinet
level support for "currently
undernourished agencies and
would enhance the status of
science.
He will present his final
lecture, "Education in a

members came to the Ubaray
Thursday, and made their re

The library directors re

"This was a long-ran go
