The discussion was "Should the U.S. Continue Atomic Bomb Tests?" Peter Caws, visiting assistant professor of philosophy was moderator. Prof. Hoocker said one reason everyone is concerned with atomic fall out is that people do not know much about it. Edward Shaw, assistant professor of radiation biophysics, said atomic testing should go on but at a lower rate. Testing is important for the advance of pure and applied science and for national defense, he said. Philip Newmark, assistant professor of biochemistry, said "We must ask ourselves whether the testing of weapons which are not designed for peace can bring about peace. We can not always detect how much radiation has been received by a person from fall out. The effects may be recognized later in a form which we can or cannot help." Roy Laird, assistant professor of political science, said we must be realistic from a western interest. We must improve and expand our stockpile of bombs and must not get behind Russia in our testing and knowledge. John Weir, associate professor of zoology, said, "It has been proven that mutations are harmful. If some one has leukemia as a direct result of radiation, that is bad, but if something happens in the blood plasma it is a problem for the future. There is no point where harmful effects from radioactive fall out become negligible."
