Theologians
isagree On
oterAction
The role of the independent
voter is important, but the
form of his action was dis
agreed upon by Rev. Harvey
G. Cox and Rev. Robert M.
Herhold in the second discus
sion in the University Christian
Association series "Christianity
in Politics."
'Cox. visiting lecturer in Evan
gelism at Andover-Newton Theo
logical Seminary, said the inde
pendent voter should stand out
side the party to criticize it. On
the other hand, Herhold, pastor
of a Lutheran church near Min
neapolis, Minn., said the inde
pendent voter should decide on a
party and work within it to re
form the party and nominate its
candidates.
Both Cox and Herhold deplored
the vote of the pre-decided voter.
Cox said that race, religious de
nomination. economic class, fam
ily ties, geographical location,
and special interest groups pro
vide many voters with determin
ates before the campaign begins.
Dr. M. Nelson McGeary, pro
fessor of political science, em
phasized this fact, noting that
University of Michigan studies
show that from 2/3 to 3/4 of the
vote is decided before the candi
dates have expressed their
views. •
Sen. John Kennedy and Vice
President Richard Nixon came
under fire from both Cox and
Herhold. Herhold said that both
men play cards with Ihe issues
and neither man dealt precisely
with them.
The final discussion, "Does
Faith Affect the Office Holder?"
will be held at 7:30 tonight in the
Hetzel Union Assembly hall.

Void—Society Defines
Criminal Behaviors
The decision of what should be called a crime depends
not only on naming criminal behavior but also in society's
definition of this behavior, Dr. George Vold, visiting profes
sor of sociology, said yesterday.
Addressing the Faculty Luncheon Club on "National
Characteristics of Criminality,"
Vold said that nations have differ
ent opinions of what behavior is
considered crime.
. For example, when the 18th
Amendment became law, it le
gally prescribed as criminal
selling liquor. which is consid
' ered uncriminal by many, he
said. In Europe there is also a
problem of alcoholic consump
tion but it is not considered a
matter for the police but rather
as one's own responsibility.
Within the United States when
the Amendment by definition
made such behavior a crime,
three-fourths of those in prisons
were violators of this crime, he
added.
There was much finagling to
get around this definition.
He recalled an incident where
liquor was openly served at a
dinner. The host claimed he was
not violating any crime and
showed the keg which was la
beled "Do not store in warm
place or will have alcoholic fer
mentation contrary to law." By
use of such a statement, the man
was not violating the law, since
the word "warm" was not de
fined.
Gambling is another type of
behavior which is considered
criminal by some nations and
not by others, Vold said. A
great portion of 'he world con-

siders gambling a "good game,"
especially the Latin American
countries. In the United States,
however, gambling is often de
fined as a crime.
The definition of crime often
:rests on the outcome of politics,
Vold said. Certain types of be
havior in some countries are
taken out of the hands of the
lawmakers and become the con
cern of each individual, Vold
said.
In Sweden and Denmark, this
is true of sexual behavior. The
Scandinavians believe sex is a
personal matter and should not be
defined as criminal or non-crim
inal by law, as is the case in the
United States. Thus crime is not
just behavior, but behavior de
fined as crime, Vold concluded.
LeSage Reviews Novel
For National Magazine
Dr. Laurent LeSage, professor
of Romance languages, is the au
thor of a review of the book,
"Zazie," in the current issue of
the Saturday Review.
A Carpenter Without His Hammer—
or. a surgeon without his
scalpel -- is something like
a student without his book.
For books are the basic tools
of the . student's trade. Noth
ing has ever replaced the
professor in the classroom,
and nothing has ever re
placed the main tool of teach
ing and learnirig—the book.
You may forget, but your
books won't. At 4:00 a.m. be
fore your exams, your pro
fessors are getting their
much needed rest. But your
books are working with you
—that is—if you have your
own books. ,
Presumably you are in col
lege because you want to
learn. Your books are your
tools. Don't be like the car
penter with a borrowed ham
mer who must finish his
work at the convenience of

PANIC WHEN
YOU TALK?
A noted publisher in Chicago re
ports there is a simple technique
of everyday conversation which
can pay you real dividends in
both social and business advance
ment and works like magic to
give you added poise, self con
fidence and greater popularity.
According to this publisher
many people do not realize how
much they could influence others
simply by what they say and how
they say it. Whether in business,
at social functions, or even in "
casual conversations with new
acquaintances, there are ways in
which you can make a good im
pression every time you talk.
To acquaint the readers of this
paper with the
.easy-to-follow
rules for developing skill in
everyday conversation, the pub
lishers have printed full details
of their interesting self-training
method in a 24-page booklet,
"Adventures in Conversation,"
which will be mailed free to any
one who requests it. No obliga
tion. Simply send your request

Space information
Sought by Bowhill
Dr. Sidney Bowhill, associ
ate professor of electrical engin
eering,- is seeking new informa
tion about wind motions and ion
ization irregularities.
Bowhill's research, which is be
ing supported by a 3-year grant
of $64,100 from the National Sci
ence Foundation, will deal chief
ly with the E layer which is a re
gion of the lower ionosphere
about 55 miles above the earth.
Additional knowledge of tur
bulent motions in the upper at
mosphere is important because of
their effect on reception of radio
signals from space stations or
from the ground, according to
Bowhill.
