"Man ,----- always the same: What is man what is his destiny?" Prof. id C.

'An Age of Revolution' "We are in an age of revolution and insecurity," the young Luth- eran minister warned. "When we have so much material plenty, the problem of finding ultimate secur- ity becomes more acute, especially when we base our whole security on material plenty." The problem of the future is that man is tempted to locate his se- curity in the wrong places, he added. Some people denounce materialism and call for a return to spiritual values, but we can't really do that unless we learn to live with material advances. It is not easy to live in the con- dition of modern America and re- sist the temptation to place God on our side, right or wrong, he admitted. Another temptation is our tendency to base our accepti- bility to God on our material suc- cess. We think we can "lay down the rules of the game," Prof. Brauer said. Man Must Understand Himself The major sin of' man, he as- sinner, and then he must accept himself as he is. This is not to overlook the joy and goodness of life," he explained, "but to put it in its proper place." Religion must be convincing to people, the professor warned, and whatever religion the person grasps must be relevant to the time and society of the individual. Whatever answer to the prob- lem of finding security in life is proposed, Prof. Brauer said, must come to the people where they are giving them a "vision of life that takes into account both the joy and the suffering." Can't Find Security in Intellect In none of these places-mor- ality, intellect, materialism - can one find security, he warned. "The By MARILYN WOOD Interest in human learning stim- ulated an experiment which used specific behaviors of rats to formu- late theories about human beings. This experiment, conducted by Prof. E. Rae Harcum of the Engin- eering College, is featured in the Dec. 5 issue of Life Magazine. He was concerned with how ani- mals learn and what principles may apply to both animals and hu- mans. "If-we find out something about how rats learn- then we can gen= eralize to some extent about how humans learn," Dr. Harcum said. Both Animals and Mammals "Rats and humans both are ani- mals and mammals. Much of what applies to rats will apply to humans," he generalized. "The human mind is much more Intel- ligant, however," he continued. Three groups of rats were used in the experiment. Two of the groups were raised in special re- stricted cages for tone year, which is one-third of the life span of a rat. One cage allowed the rats to move only horizontally and the other allowed only vertical move- ment. A third group of rats was used as a control group. They had been raised under normal labora- tory conditions. These rats, which were bred and raised especially for this experi- ment, were placed in a maze for observation by Prof. Harcum. Elaborate Maze The maze was an elaborate com- bination of wire mesh alleys masked with white cheesecloth and hung by wires from the ceiling of a white room void of features and shadows. Prof.Harcum dressed in white robes to blend with the back- ground when in the experiment room. He wanted to see if original hab- its of the rats would persist when they were turned loose in the maze. The psychologist put food at a certain place in the maze and then recorded the number of errors made by the rats each time they tried to get to it. Original Habits He found that the rats which were raised in special cages tended to move according to their ori- ginal habits even when they were allowed freedom of movement. For instance, the rats trained to move horizontally had difficulty, even after 40 days of testing, in finding food when they had to go up and down to get it, Prof. Har- cum discovered. He interprets that "animals, when put in an unfamiliar environ- ment, tend to explore." Experimentation showed that the restricted rats did less ex- ploring and seemed to be more stereotyped in behavior. Prof. Harcum inferred that they had a greater fear because in restriction they had been unable to become familiar with similar elements. More Emotional "They were more emotional in new situations," Dr. Harcum hypo- thesized. His general conclusion is "when an animal faces an unfamiliar situation evidence seems to indi- cate that there is an emotional disturbance involved or else it shows a lack of intellectual de- velopment." Either or both of these conclu- sions might be true, Prof. Harcum says. Applies to Humans "This same conclusion can be applied to human beings, but only to the same degree that a rat is similar to a human," he remarked. Prof. Harcum began this re- search in 1953 as his doctoral thesis. The exeperimental appar- atus, which was located in Mason Hall, is now dismantled. Ads don't prove how good our food is!

THE GIFT HORSE Today's column is about Christmas gift suggestions, and I suppose you think I'll begin by suggesting Philip Morris. Well, the joke's on you. I'll do no such thing. Why should I? Anyone with two brains to knock together knows that Philip Morris makes an absolutely smashing Christmas gift. Only a poor afflicted soul with atrophied taste buds needs to be told about the new Philip Morris; its bracing flavor; its freshness, lightness, pleasantness, gentleness; its truth, its beauty, its brotherliness in this discordant world of ours.

Read and Use Daily Classifieds I !1 IF A. DEPARTMENT OF SPEECH Presents 1955 HOPWOOD DRAMA-AWARD Of the English Department El L""- Let us, instead, turn to less obvious gift suggestions. Here's one I bet you never thought of: Christmas is the best time of year, but it is also the beginning of winter. How about a gift that reminds one that though winter has come, spring is not far behind? I refer, of course, to Easter chicks. (Similarly, on Easter one can give Christmas chicks.) Next, we take up the problem, common to all undergraduates, of trying to buy gifts when you have no money. To this dilemma I say-Faugh! It is not the price of the gift that counts; it is the sentiment behind it. Take, for example, the case of Outerbridge Sigafoos. Outer- bridge, a sophomore, finding himself without funds last Christ- mas, gave his girl a bottle of good clear water and a nice smooth rock, attaching this touching message to the gift: Here's some water And here's a rock, I love you, daughter, Around the'clock. And the whole delightful gift cost Outerbridge less than a penny! I am compelled to report, however, that Outerbridge's girl did not receive these offerings in the spirit in which they were tendered. In fact, she flew into a fit of pique, smashed the bottle on the rock and stabbed Outerbridge with the jagged edge. But the experience was not without value for Outerbridge. First, he discovered that the girl was not his type at all. Second, he learned how to make a tourniquet. But I digress. Let's examine now a common complaint of Christmas shoppers: "What do you get for someone who has everything?" To this I reply, "Does he?" Does he, for instance, have a unicycle? A sled dog? A serf ? A burnoose? A hairball? A bung starter? (The bung starter, incidentally, was invented by two enormously talented men, Fred Bung and Otho Starter. Their partnership thrived from the very start, and there is no telling to what heights they might have risen had they not split up over a silly argument. It seems that Bung was a firm believer in renernton Sater wV Xa tas fim nAicqhcli~voi. Runes in- f ' ) By Russell A.
