Scientist-

That fury has continued unabated for 17 years and has shown "an intensity and hostility . . . unequalled in twentieth century scientific history."
"IN WORLDS in Collision" and later books, Velikovsky cut across disciplinary lines to synthesize his theory of the formation of our solar system. He utilized myth, religion, ancient history, psychology, geology, physics, paleontology, archaeology, and astronomy to postulate a cataclysmic, explosively unpredictable universe.
His theory flies in the face of the calm, mechanical heavens of Copernicus, Newton and today's cosmologists.
Velikovsky's ideas were rejected by the "scientific reception system" for challenging beliefs not recognized to be in need of repair, says Alfred de Grazia, editor of "The Velikovsky Affair."
That system refused to contest Velikovsky in open debate, said Albert Burgstahler, professor of chemistry. Instead, it attempted to surprise his ideas by economic boycott of his publisher's textbooks and by misquoting him in critical articles.
"If he's right—and the Mariner II probe to Venus in 1962 affirmed many of the predictions he made in 1950," Burgstahler said, "then history will rank him with Galileo, Da Vinci, and Newton as an original thinker in science."
Aid-

HEINZ AND OTHER Phi Gams called a number of teachers yesterday to explain their situation and request lenency.
With finals approaching and academic pressures increasing, many of the brothers were worried about their courses.
"There was a lot of disinterested reaction from the faculty." Heinz remarked, "but I think we expected too much of them.
"There's a lot of extra work, responsibility and re-orientation that the guys have to go through in the week before finals.
"But some of the faculty didn't understand our situation, and I'm
ROOMS FOR THE Phi Gams were never a problem. Templin Hall immediately opened its doors to the men, and yesterday, Inter Fraternity Council President Denny Taylor, Rancho Cordova, Calif., junior, told Heinz the other fraternities were willing to provide free room and board for the fire victims.
sure they will be as fair as they can."
The KU administration has also joined in aiding Heinz and his men by notifying faculty members and getting parking permits for the Templin Hall lot.
WITH ALL THIS HELP, Heinz said, his major problem is coordinating the KU Samaritans.
But, as he quickly admits, without all this help, "I don't know where we'd be."
Right now, however, Curt Heinz is in his new bed at Templin Hall. "He said that would be all right with him."
Wescoe-
Continued from page 1 "and many universities now are building the chancellor's house far from campus to eliminate the closed-in feeling."
WESCOE BELIEVES humor is needed for his job. "It may be that my sense of humor is too well-developed but I think you get further in this world with a light touch than with a heavy one," he commented.
"If you don't have fun at what you're doing you shouldn't be doing it," Wescoe says.
This is often evident in his public speeches and administrative meetings. He seldom neglects the opportunity to insert a light touch to otherwise dull proceedings.
"You must also realize that you're not indispensable." Wescoe said. "Once you're willing to live with that, things go smoothly.
"IF I DIDN'T RETURN tomorrow, this University would go right along as if I'd never been here," he added.
Wescoe thinks a Chancellor should avoid becoming personally identified with a university, that the institution should not be overshadowed by the man. For this reason, and others, Wescoe believes he must someday leave KU.
"I'm a sentimental fellow by nature anyway, but leaving would be very difficult for me," he said. "I just hope I'll know when it's time to go."
