LANCZOS TALK: Einstein's Theories Seen as Philosophy DEFENDS RESEARCH: 'U' Dean Rebuts AMA In Grant Controversy B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation at SABBATH SERVICE Tonight at 7:30 "Poetry and Prose of PASSOVER" Presentation by Marvin Diskin Director, Theatre Hillel Zwerdling-Cohn Chapel 1429 Hill t. By DONNA ROBINSON Albert Einstein was not a sci- entific specialist-he was essen- tially a philosopher, Prof. Corne- lius Lanczos said yesterday. "Other scientists looked only at parts, but Einstein, viewing the universe as an integrated whole, recognized the operation of fun- damental principles." Prof. Lanczos, of the Dublin In- stitute for Advanced Studies, con- cluded a series of six Institute of Science and. Technology lectures on Einstein's place in the history of physics with a summary of Einstein's accomplishments and their possible future impact. Newton Accepted The physical theories of Isaac Newton's universe seemed to have everything explained, and they were almost universally accepted for two hundred years. But Albert Einstein challenged them. His theories demolished the Newtonian concept of absolute time and space. Newton's gravita- tion was to Einstein a useful but1 actually unnecessary concept, Prof. Lanczos said. To replace Newton's universe, Einstein createq one of his own: one where time and space were not absolute but relative, where matter was nothing more than a curved portion of space, where the forces of gravity did not really exist as such. More Complex It was a much more complicat- ed universe than Newton's and it ended the era when scientific con- cepts could be understood in terms of little mental pictures. In return for this loss of sim- plicity, science gained through Einstein's theories a "tremendous advance in unity. Einstein mirror- ed the cosmic spirit which mani- fests itself in physical occur- rences," Prof. Lanczos said. The change from Newton's uni- verse to Einstein's brought a shift in emphasis from merely observing and describing physical phenome- na to attempts to explain the ob- served universe. Quantum Reverses The modern quantum theory has since reversed this emphasis, and also seeks to deny Einstein's unity in favor of a universe gov- erned by chance. But the theory of relativity and the universe it created are far from overthrown. And even if they ever were discarded, there are cer- tain concepts embodied in them which we can never give up, Prof. Lanczos emphasized. VERSATILITY PLUS-Folk artist Jesse Fuller will kick off the annual Folk Music Festival tonight with his renowned one-man band performance. Fuller wields six different instruments simul- taneously for a unique music style. 'FolkMusic Scheduled for Weekend By JUDITH BLEIER Charges in an editorial in the current American Medical Associa- tion Journal that the unwise al- location of grant money represents "a new blight on-medical research" brought a rebuttal yesterday from C. J. Tupper, associate dean of the Medical School. "At no time in the history of this planet has so much money been spent on medical research as in the last few years," the editorial says. "Far too few people have realiz- ed, however, that the stepped up efficiency with which these sums are raised does not necessarily mean that they are equally ef- ficiently spent. Moreover, it is probable that inadequate num- bers of research workers are bene- fiting by the grants and that huge. sums of money are spent on doubt- ful, artificially blown-up, occa- sionally ridiculous projects." Tupper objected, saying, "Here at the University I am impressed by the careful review that is made of all grant applications and by the evaluation which takes place even after the applications have been granted." The confidence of the govern- ment in the University's ability to manage grant funds is evidenc- ed by the recent awarding of general, rather than specific, grants to the medical, dental and public health schools, he said. "It is clear to medical educators that research must be kept in its proper respect in regard to teach- ing and patient care," he noted. "The Medical School recognizes its obligation to maintain an ef- fective balance between these areas." Hunt To Deliver Psychology Talk Prof. J. McV. Hunt of the Uni- versity of Illinois will speak on "Withdrawal and Approach in In- trinsic Motivation" at 4:15 p.m. today in Aud. B. A coffee hour will be held at 3:45 p.m. in Rm. 3417 Mason Hall.

Allen Arues Peace Issue By RONALD WILTON A Diag crowd that numbered up to 75 people at time yesterday argued problems of peace s with Peter Allen of Oberlin College, regional secretary of the Student Peace Union. At the Voice political party- sponsored forum, Allen character- ized the SPU program as one which "stresses American initia- tives and not junking all our armaments immediately. We can take steps which will not destroy our nuclear stockpiles but which will relieve some world tension. "We want the United States to take a different direction instead of trying to get ahead again by resuming nuclear testing. This only makes the Russians test again because they want to catch up." He said that while it was not the policy of this nation to strike first, it is our policy to."develop the ability to strike first; and we can't blame the Russians for thinking that we will." He cited the vulnerable missile bases located around the rim of the Soviet Union and said that "since these are only good for first-strike capability we could take the iniative and give them up without destroying our deter- rent." Answering a person from the crowd asking "What are you push- ing?" Allen said SPU desired "a commitment to a foreign policy that is not based on military means. We are not interested in getting into the question of 'better Red than dead.'" He noted that there were basic differences .of opinion both within this country and between us and our allies, but that "we all agree we will ignore these differences while there is the threat of the Soviet Union. However, there is a bigger threat right now: the threat of nuclear w"ar' Rockefeller To Lecture STARTS TODAY I IT'S A BLUE RIBBON BONANZA OFJOYAND TUNE-FILLED MAGIC From the men who gave you "Oklahoma,""South Pacific, "The Sound Of Music," "The King And I"I A ill 10 Itunu E¢mnil Dial NO 8-6416 STARTING TONIGHT DIAL NO 5-6290 SUNDAY JAMES STEWART JOHN WAYNE in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" MARIA SCHELL/STUART WHITMAN ri"M i Wonderfulwith TE MARK" in CinemaScopeRICHAR and ROD STEIGER 4 D1AR as Doc McNally fued hi a RAYMOND STROSS UfIIE newest SY BUCHIMAN Producto* InIi melodies n wes.dbGUY GREEN newss 0+4rtutnq~ nt, ettattP!
