MIT prof discusses life and death issues

An interpretation of the right to life and the right to not be killed was presented by Judith Javis Thompson in a lecture last eight as part of the Lindley Lecture Series.
Thompson, professor of philosophy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, spoke to about 80 people in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
"Alfred and Bert" were the characters of her illustration.
In her lecture, Thompson used a hypothetical situation to illustrate her ideas on the right to life and the right to not be killed.
Thompson said Alfred a military tank and had told Bert that he would run over him. Both were in open country, so Bert had to move back to the tank, however, had a workmate anti-tank gun
THOMPSON'S LECTURE explained why Bert could kill Alfred in this situation.
"Most people would say that it's normally permissible to blow up the tank," Thompson
She had three arguments why she said she thought it was all right to destroy the tank behind her.
nats, she said. Alfred had forfeited his
not be killed because he had attacked
The first part of this argument, she said, is that there could hill because Alfred had no children.
The second argument she divided into two parts, under the assumption that the right to vote is one person.
The second part. Thompson said, is that Bert could kill because Bert could preserve the information.
IN THE THIRD argument why Bert could ball, Thompson said an independent
"Bert's right to preserve his life is more arrogant than Alfred's right to not be killed."
Bert had a special right to kill Alfred, Thompson said, because Alfred launched the attack. A special right is one that circumstances allow, she said, while a natural right, in contrast, is one that every human being is born with.
Thompson's solution to the problem was that Burt would kill Alfred, but she left the room alone.
"I want to be sure to give you a right to a problem, but not the right for a solution for it."
In a 35-minute question and answer session after her lecture, Thompson responded to questions concerning her ideas about human rights and between rights and duties or obligations.
Mavor to be elected
The commission will probably elect Vice Mayor Fred Pence to replace Barkley Clark as mayor, Mike Wilden, assistant city manager said yesterday.
At a special session yesterday afternoon, he proposed the first major revision clause in law since 1983.
In other business, the commission is expected to adopt a new policy on city financing of streets, sidewalks and sewers in new housing developments.
It's pretty routine," he said. "The vice mayor has always been elected as mayor. She was not."

If that revision is adopted, the city will install sidewalks and sanitary sewers. The costs for building storm drain sewers, which will then be paid by private volunteers, are
According to Clark, the revision will not inhibit small developers from building.
on construction loans, small companies can't afford to build without financial help from the city, commission members have said.
However, Clark said, most of the developer's costs are incurred on streets and sidewalks.

Bowling doesn't draw the crowds of a Saturday afternoon football game. Nor does it have the glamorous image of posh Colordao ski slopes.
Some claim bowling is the number one participation sport in the United States. And nearly 400 University of Kansas students wouldn't be without it.
The bowlers at KU compete in handicap leagues, which meet once a week. From the first week of each semester to the week before finals, teams of Greeks, faculty members and others gather at the Jay Bowl in the Kansas Union.
Some nights, when 12 teams fill all six lares of the Jay Bowl, the place is alive, roaring with laughter and the thunder of balls hitting pins.
The commission asked the city manager's staff members to write a resolution on the issue.
TEAMS BOWL three games every night except Friday and Saturday.
The Nads, as they call themselves, are in last place in the All-Campus League competition. But they really don't care and won't let a small team like that bother them.
"I have this deep下窿 craving to be a professional bowler, but at this rate I will never get it."
"I bowl simply because I enjoy it," Dave Petesch, McLouth junior, said last week. "It's relaxing and it gets me away from the grind of classes."
Petersch's teammates agree that bowling's biggest asset is that it's just plain fun, as well as a convenient break from the action marked by fierce competition, they say.
Still, he admits, he has a bit of professional aspiration.
"YOU DON'T have to 'go out' for a team to bowel," said Nadis Marner to John Coletta, Rochester, Mich., freshman. "There is plenty of space; we have intense getting in the way of our fun."
ANOTHER NADS member, David Wayne, Prairie Village freshman, said, "With some sports like gymnastics or karate, a person can't have beginner's luck. Not so with bowling. Anyone could come in here and their first time bowl five strikes."
But, any bowler will tell you that being consistent takes more than beginner's luck.
"A lot of people might ridicule bowling for being an easy sport," said the fourth member of the Nads, Geoff Friedman, Shawnee Mission graduate student, "but just let them come in here and try being consistent. They'll have a really work at it."
"You don't have to be an athlete to bowl
just practice a lot and have a bit of coor-
dination."
**AMING FOR a strike zone that is only two inches wide, a blower must have a lot of bolts.**
300, the maximum number of points a bowler can get in a game. That required 12
The scores in KU bowling leagues are usually around 150. Most bowlers don't seem to be terribly upset if their scores aren't high. Amidst mock anger and rage, most of laughter, the bowlers are consistent about one thing—they always come back.
"Bowling is a lifetime sport," said Nancy boozer, who helps us ushant Warren McNamara win the championship in coaching women's golf at KU. "In the last two semesters we've noticed there has been a lot of interest."
IT COSTS 50 cents during the day and 60 cents at night to play one game at the Jay Museum.
"It's a great way to become acquainted with people, especially if you a new student in the school."
Boozer said that one of the most popular league nights is "guys'n' dollas" night. Men and women come in any time on Thursday and register to bow that evening. Two men and two women are arbitrarily paired to make a team, she said.
There are other reasons the interest in bowling is climbing. Some bowlers said that weekly television broadcasts of olympic games, tournaments and team matches had helped spark interest.
"People see these tournaments or advertisements for bowling and say to themselves, 'Hey, I'd like to try that.' And there aren't waiting lines in bowling like there are in many other sports," said Warren Rozer, recreation manager for the University of Illinois, who always there willing to give professional assistance free of charge to bowlers who want it. This may be one reason bowlers keep coming back."
WARREN BOOZER teaches six bowling classes for the University. He said that about 100 more people than last year joined the league this year. He said that bowling was its capacity, but that he was hesitant to bowle to open nights, Friday and Saturday.
"I just couldn't believe that people didn't want bowling lanes in the new union, he said. "At least it would've been nice to move the system we how have over there. Isn't recreation one of the purposes of a union, anyway?"
HE SAID THAT he was terribly disappointed when it was decided that bowling lanes wouldn't be built in the new satellite union.
"I really don't want to have to say 'no' to the many couples who bowl on dates on open menu."
Apparently there was no demand then for more bowlin lanes. he said.
LAST YEAR a questionnaire was distributed to KU students, asking what they thought should be included in a new union.
