Dedication features talk by Straley A serious communications gap exists between scientists and non-scientists, Dr. Joseph W. Straley declared Saturday at the dedication of the new Science and Mathematics build ing at Newberry College. Dr. Straley, a professor of physics at the University of North Carolina and a member of the faculty there since 1944, talked on “Science and the Art iculation of Science” at the ceremony which was part of the College’s Parents Day pro gram. Scientists are losing their abi lity to talk to anyone except other scientists, he said. Even though we live in the midst of an industrial-technological-scien tific revolution, a large percent age of our population is not concerned with the technologi cal details of science. He pointed out that a recent survey showed that nearly 40 percent of students who now attend college in the United States graduate without taking a single course in either physi cal or biological science. The science educator contin ued, “Our news media cele brate the arrival of man on the moon, yet in their day-to-day attention to the news our news papers devote less than five per cent of their non-advertising space to factual presentation of science, technology and medi cine while television stations grant only 0.3 percent of their time, to science coverage. “In short,” Dr. Straley said, “although we are enormous con sumers of the output of a tech nological society the pursuit of scientific knowledge has not be come a strong part of our gen eral value system. There is even confusion about'the mean ing of science. He told his listeners that the new building is not science, nor is the building with instruments and books science, nor is the building with instruments, books and men using the instruments science. “Science is a far more subtle thing,” he stated, “it could even be said to be a way of life marked by free inquiry, by free dissent, by originality and by tolerance. 'While the value of this free inquiry and of dissent marked by tolerance is very familiar to those of us involved in science, the value of this style of inquiry is not so fam iliar to those who are outside science.” To help combat this commun ications gap between the scien tist and the non-scientist, Dr. Straley emphasized that the science teacher must regard the impact of science on society as a legitimate part of the subject matter of science. His class room must become a laboratory for the articulation of the cul tural values of science as well as an instrument for the dis covery and transmission of scientific information. The dedication of the $1,245,- 000 three-story building was the highlight of the Parents Day activities at Newberry College. Over 700 parents attended the annual event sponsored by the College’s Alumni Association. Church office be dedicated On Sunday, October 19, Dr. Karl Kinard, President of the South Carolina Synod, will be at Bachman Chapel Lutheran Church for the morning wor ship service and the dedication of the new office building. The Dedication Service will take place immediately following the morning worship. Dr. Kinard will bring the message of the day and will officiate at the dedication. The office building, recently completed, is a manifestation of many gifts and much work giv en by members and friends of the congregation, as is true of the church building and the par sonage. Academy Notes Last Friday morning the 3rd grade in the Newberry Acad emy observed Columbus Day under the direction of their teacher, Mrs. Sue L. Daven port, assisted by Mrs. May T. Epting, their music instructor. The children gave in song and story the adventures of Colum bus in discovering America. On the first Friday of each month a minister is invited to conduct the chapel exercises. The school’s first guest for this service was the Rev. Don ald F. West, pastor of Glenn Street Baptist Church. He gave an unusually interesting story by using a shoe to illustrate the elements of a good life. He pointed out the eyelets which guide the strings as a reminder that our eyes should be trained to see the right things in the world about us. He said that the tongue suggested that' we use our tongues to say kind and nice things to and about people. The body of the shoe illus trated the fact that the human body must be kept strong and the sole of the shoe was a re minder of the solid foundation that a life must have.
