SUMMER COLLEGIAN.. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA group behavior. Courses in social problems,.so cial studies, introductory sociol ogy, and related topics are offered or required in almost every phase of American education. BUT A QUESTION that has been under intense scrutiny lately is: Is Social Science a Science? According to a research profes sor of physics on campus, "experi ments involving the human being are greatly subjected to many human variables, some of these may have no bearing upon what is actually trying to be deter mined." Dr. Raymond Pepinsky ex plained that the influences of these unpredictable variables would tend to negate the experi mental results. IN PHYSICS OR CHEMISTRY, he said, we can control, to a large degree the environment in which an experiment takes place, and with the data from such an experi ment we can predict very ac curately what the results of the same experiment, run at another time, would be. "Studies in social sciences are so hampered by 'human pres sures' that much of the data Weaned could not be used with reasonable accuracy to predict future outcomes." Pepinsky said that the methods used in gathering data for soci ological studies are scientific, but for a field of study to be a true science it must he able to predict future events to such an extent that the probability of error is negligible. SOCIAL SCIENCE RAS NOT, as yet, been able to determine TWO's ENOUGH what to do in a situation such as the present one involving Cas tro, he said. Or, how should a man like Khrushchev be handled? "Cer tainly he's not predictable but if social science were a true science it would be able to determine the methods to handle 'K' and men like him." It is often dangerous to use social science data to make fu ture decisions involving such in dividuals, he said. Whereas in a physical science, "we know whether an explosion or so will occur if certain chemicals are mixed." Pepinsky said he feels that while much is being done by so cial scientists to bring their field up to the position of being a sci ence, they have not yet accom plished their goal. IT IS NOT beyond reason to think that it might some day be come a true science, he said. But, as for the present, it is probably best defined as a philosophy in volving social behavior, rather than a science. Pepinsky said that social science is a very difficult area of study, and stressed that effects of the many hard-to-control variables are the prime detriment to valid experimental data.

Jeffries, pro- lessor of soil technology in the Department of Agronomy, re tired with emeritus rank at the end of last month after completing 42 years of teach ing and research. Following his graduation from the University in 1919, Jeffries joined the faculty and served as an associate in the Institute of Animal Nutrition until 1927 when he was transferred to the Depart ment of Agronomy. IN 1945 HE WAS named pro lessor of soil technology. He re ceived his master of science de gree from the University in 1922 and his doctor of philosophy de gree from the University of Wis consin in 1936. Jeffries initiated the first re search in the United States in the field of soil mineralogy in the early 1930'5. He has been con cerned with both theoretical and applied aspects of soil mineralogy and has developed methods and procedures to identify and clas sify soil minerals. HE SERVED AS visiting soil technologist at the University of Puerto Rico in 1943 and Soil Sci entists in 1950. In 1946 he was a visiting professor of soils at the University of Wisconsin for six months and this past January was a consultant on soil problems for the Council of Scientific Research in Jamaica.
