Harrisburg addresses is part of an
effort to get a full appropriation
from the state for the University
so that student tuition will not be
raised next fall. It will appear in
The Daily Collegian when com
pleted.
Sheets said a 'bad of letters
from students could not be ig
v nosed by representatives.
"The boys down there would
know something is up," he said.
Sheetz, who also wrote a "Let
ter to the Editor" which appeared
in Friday's Collegian, is scheduled
to appear before the SGA Assem

outline of his campaign.
If the Assembly supports the
plan, Sheetz said he will start the
campaign next Monday and con
tinue it for one week.
Sheets said he hopes to 'il
able to have banners placed on
the mall and posters on campus
bulletin boards, and to have an
nouncements in political sci
ence classes urging students to
write letters.
Interested students may be vis,.
iting residence halls to acquaint
students with the campaign and
copies of the list will be distrib
uted to residence halls and fra

Sheetz said he talked to Sen. Jo
Hays (D.-Centre) about the plan
and to Dr. Robert G. Bernreuter,
vice president for academic af

"They (the representatives) will
see that the student body is not
sitting back and saying 'we'll get
what you give us'," Sheetz said.

Lattman Discusses
Scientific Progress
By SUE TAYLOR
Geniuses are the men who
are remembered throughout
time, Dr. Lawrence Lattman,
associate professor of geomor
phology, said at the liberal arts
lecture last night.
"As we look back in history,
we see that the contributions
that have meant something were
made by geniuses," Lattman said
in the third of the lecture series.
"An excellent way to study sci
ence is to attach it to human
beings," he said.
"The start of science was in
Greece:where there was &great
variety of men,", he said.
Such men as Euclid, Pytha
goreas and Aristotle gave their
contributions to the world.
"Science vanished during the
Dark Ages," Lattman said, "but
during the Renaissance it came
alive , again."
It was at this time that Fran•
cis Bacon, one of our greatest
scientists, appeared, Lattman
said.
"Bacon formalized the scientific
method—the keystone upon which
science is built," he continued.
"This method entails first gath-
The two new telephones in the bassinet are the
result of a perfect marriage of research and design.
They illustrate the way Gen Tel constantly strives
to make the telephone an ever more convenient and
helpful service of modern life.
The Starlite* phone in the foreground is a new
"compact" only half the size of a standard desk
phone. Its PANELESCENTe (electroluminescent)
dial glows in the dark for easy dialing, and can be
turned up to serve as a night light.
The Space-Maker• phone can be hung anywhere—•
on posts and in tight corners. Both dial and handset
can be adjusted to fit the space and the conven•
ience of the user.
These new and modern phones for the home were
developed by our subsidiary, Automatic Electric,
largest supplier of telephone equipment to Ameri•
ca's Independent telephone industry.
They are but two examples of how General Tele
phone & Electronics works to improve equipment
and advance communications for the home, for
industry and national .defense— both here and
abroad. •Trade Mart
ering infoi'mation, then forming
the hypothesis, deducing several
conclusions, and then testing these
predicted conclusions," Latttnan
said.
"In England, Isaac Newton, in
a period called "the 18 golden
months of science, laid the
foundation for the classical con
cept of mechanics," he said.
When Newton's theories had
been proved, correct, men began
applying his fundamental laws to
everything, according to Leaman;
"Today, however, most people
accept the probabilistic concept
that laws work most of the time,
but we can't expect them to work
all of the time," he said.
"Albert Einstein disagreed
with this concept, saying, 'I
can't believe that God plays
dice with the universe'." "There
is'a strong possibility that Ein
stein is right," Lattman said,
"since repeatedly throughout
science the minority has been
right.
"But today we are In a state
of flux. The only thing we really
know is that we've got a lot to
learn," he concluded.
Cincinnati originally was called
Losantville or "the town opposite
the mouth of the Licking River."
