Panel To Discuss Responsibility
The scientist's responsibility to society will be discussed in 233 Malott at 8 p.m. today.
On the panel will be Dr. Robert E. Schofield, assistant professor of history, Dr. Calvin VenderWerf, professor of chemistry, Dr. Max Dresden, professor of physics, Mr. William E. Harnett, assistant instructor of mathematics, and Mr. Fred Lowez, chemist, Dow Chemical Co., Midland, Mich.
"This discussion is not important just to science majors but also to those who are interested in the humanities," said James H. McMechan, Independence, Mo., junior, who arranged the meeting.
The moderator will be Dr. Schofield. He believes that science teachers are not allowing students to use their imagination and curiosity enough in the classroom.
Speech Tryouts To Be Monday
Tryouts for the Delta Sigma Rho annual KU Oratorical Contest will be held at 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Monday in Green Hall.
Any KU student, except one participating in debate, is eligible to enter with a 10-minute oration on any topic. To enter, students must register with the secretary of the speech department. Six finalists will be chosen to compete in the Oratorical Contest at 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 26, in Strong Auditorium.
Debaters To Attend Tourney At K-State
KU was one of 10 schools from the region selected to compete in the tournament on the basis of the year's debate record. The top five teams from this contest will enter the national finals in April at West Point.
A set of the Encyclopedia Americana will be awarded to the first place winner. Second and third place winners will receive $15 and $10.
Mr. Harnett studies mathematics for the enjoyment of it. In a recent meeting of Alpha Chi Sigma, professional chemistry fraternity, he said students should study mathematics in order to sharpen their reasoning ability.
KU will send one team to the West Point regional debate tournament Tuesday at Kansas State. As the top team on the debate squad and winners of the Heart of America Debate Conference, Kenneth Irby, Ft. Scott, and Ralph Seger, Topeka, both intioms, will represent KU.
Total investment of Americans in property and endowment of privately supported institutions of education, religion, health and welfare increased by an estimated 1.4 billion dollars in 1956.
Dr. VanderWerf is on the board of directors of the Journal of Chemical Education. Recently he has visited several universities for the Visiting Scientists' Program. As a part of this program, he has spoken to students on the responsibility of scientists to society.

"The importance of a sizable nucleus of permanent members is being recognized in alumni assn's, all over the country," said Fred Elsworth, secretary of the association.
A 63 per cent increase in life memberships in the last three years has boosted the total to more than one-third of the Alumni Assn.'s entire membership, the February issue of the Alumni Magazine reports.
"Our efforts will continue to be value of the life membership to the value of the life membership to the individual and the University."
