ARCHAEOLOGY:
Clark Discusses Africa
Joint Judic Tells Decision on Disciplinary Action
By GILBERT WINER
o
"Africa has yielded us the most
knowledge of paleolithic man and
his culture, and the purpose of Af-
rican prehistory is to interpret the
evidence we find in terms of social
and economic life." Prof. J. Des-
mond Clark said yesterday.
Speaking on "Environment and
Early Man in Trans-Saharan Af-
rica," Prof. Clark, curator of the
Rhodes Livingston? Museum, first
outlined an approach to archaeo-
logical investigation.
"Cooperative effort is required
from all natural scientists to vali-
date our inquiries," Prof. Clark

extra-curricular activities and
varsity and intramural ath-
letics and the holding of a po-
sition of leadership in any ofI
these.
II Comment
When a student assumes a po-
sition of leadership within the'
University o m m u n i t he
thereby has an additional re-
sponsibility to the student
body. It follows that when a
violation of University regula-
tions occurs the student lead-
er's actions are viewed in a
more serious manner, especial-
ly to the degree that his of-
fense reflects upon the Univer-
sity. The impact of probation
on an individual is directly
proportionate to the value he
places upon the things which
probation, as defined, prohib-
its, and to the degree which he
is currently enjoying them.

Discussion - Lewis instigated, or-
ganized and encouraged football
parlay card gambling on this
campus last year and continued it
this year, ignoring his responsi-
bilities as a University student
varsity athlete and captain of the
basketball team. By his illegal op-
erations, Lewis further violated

Anthony Rio
Violation - Conduct unbecoming
a student in that during the 1957
football season and, to a much
lesser degree, during the 1958
football season he organized, op-
erated and encouraged gambling
within the student body for fi-
nancial gain, by means of football
parlay cards.
Disposition - Probation for the
remainder of the 1958-59 academ-
ic year, commencing with official
notification.
Discussion - Rio was less serious-
ly involved in football parlay card'
gambling this year because he did
not actively participate in the or-
ganization and p r o m ot i o n of
gambling as he did last year. His
lesser involvement this year ap-
peared to be motivated by a re-
alization that his position on the
varsity football team would be
jeopardized if he were apprehend-
ed for gambling. However, Rio, by
aiding distribution of parlay cards
at no time fully realized his re-
sponsibility as a student leader
and a member of the University,
community.

a student in that he participated

Classed as Hunters
The sites of the first stone age
peoples were found near water
and stone recourses. Population
was sparse and mobility was
rapid. These simple bands were
,lassified as unspecialized hunt-
ers and gatherers. The bands oc-
cupied temporary camps during
the seasonal hunts but had no
permanent settlements, nor was
the size of the band considerable.
The only tools used, discarded aft-
er a single use, were hand axes
and cleavers, he said.
growth in dry and in wet climates,
Prof. Clark added.
Larger Groups
Later stone age cultures occa-
sioned still larger social groupings
and more specialized food gather-
ing pursuits. Division of labor by
sex became complete and elabor-
ate rituals began.
"We are still a long way from
being able to reconstruct the cul-
tural levels accurately. Morej
spade work must be undertaken
and the aid of other specialists
enlisted," Prof. Clark concluded.
"We couldn't live without
germs," Prof. Marston Bates of1
the zoology department empha-
sized in a television lecture Sun-'
day
One of the inain services that
germs, or microbes, perform for
mankind, he pointed out, is to
decompose matter. Without the,
decomposition of dead plants and
animals, he said, "we'd be living
in a world of garbage."
Prof. Bates examined the con-
tributions of Louis Pasteur to
knowledge about microbe action."
Pasteur, he emphasized, did many
experiments to find how germs
contribute to disease, but he also
. discovered that germs were the
prime cause for the important pro-
cess of fermentation.
Produce Yeast
Without the product of fermen-
tation, yeast, it would be im-
possible to make beer, wine and
bread, Prof. Bates pointed out,
adding, "you see, germs are im-
portant to man."
Contrary to the general concept
that germs are isolated in a pri-
vate, one - celled world, he ex-
plained, germs are found every-'
where, filling the soil, air, water
and even the human body.
To illustrate his idea, he citedj

relationship Present
The prevalence of microbes
makes it obvious that there must
be some relationship, he said, be-
tween the world of germs and the
human world.
The "symbiotic" relationship ap-
pears when one studies digestive
processes, Prof. Bates explained.
"Bacteria break down our food for
us and help in digestion; they
manufacture vitamins for us, and
help us get rid of wastes. We, in
turn, give them shelter and lodg-
ing."
Prof. Bates used the example of
the cow as typical of the germ-
animal relationship, saying "the
cow literally couldn't eat unless
the germs were in her to ferment
the grass and help her digest It."
Vital to Marine Life
Plant and marine life, too, rely
on microbe action for their exist-
ence, as Prof. George Lauff of the
zoology department said.
"The seas are made up of water,
plants and fish but the most popu-
lar and populous thing in the sea
without which fish couldn'tlive,"
Prof. Lauff, said, "are tiny little
germs which scientists call plank-
ton, the pasture of the sea."
Prof. Lauff, who, as a limnol-
ogist, studies plankton, explained
that they produce as much pro-
tein per half acre as "a good acre
of land, but the only way we get
pla nkto now is through the fish
we eat."
U' Receives
Carnegie Gift
For Research
A Carnegie grant of $67,000 has
been given to the University for
study of scientific performance.
Donald C. Pelz, assistant pro-
gram director of Survey Research
Center will direct the study.
The grant will be used to con-
tinue work Pelz has been doing
studying the creative process in
engineerg and scientists and ex-
amining factors affecting crea-
tivity.
Special attention is being paid
to the differences in motivations
and values which exist between
scientists and engineers who are
highly creative and those who ar
not.
Pelz is also studying the kinds
of work environments in which
high creativity occurs.
