It should be the task of government and of all men to prOVlde conditions most favorable for Creative In» terchange. “It we cannot solve the problem oi enabling men to live together with the power oi modern technology in a world oi diverse cultures, we shall an- Iiihilatethehuman race." Does Mr, Wieman see any signs that Creative interchange is developing? “There are several hopetul signs, but we can have no assurance that these will lead to more Creative Interchange.” Wieman cited increased concern- for the poor, the growing ten» dency of nations to refrain from war (largely because of the big nations' recognition of each other": power), increasing recognition of the need {or economic, political, and other interchange with the Communist world, growing discussion be tween blacks and whites over recognition of the status of Negro Americans, and the recognition that students should participate more in the process of their education. These signs indicate to Wieman that “either we are doomed or headed for something better than the past." They are neither all bad nor all good, “but they hold the potentiality for both good and bad results.” The mere recognition of such problems and diiicrcnces is a step in the right direction, according to Wieman. What can the United States do now to help create a good at» mosphere for Creative In- terchange’! “First, we Should get out of Vietnam. All we are gaining by our involvement there is a talse notion of prestige; we could Withdraw much more quickly than we are." Another step would be to open com- munication with Communist Cuba. Wieman believes that the present policy is only driving Cuba closer to the Communist black. “There is an insane hate and [ear or Communism. Surely it is a bad system, but the only way to correct it is to open Communication." Internally the United States has done a fairly good job in Wieman‘s opinion. “For one thing we are recognizing the need to educate all men, I don’t think integration is going to solve the problem oi educating Negro Americans. Blacks would like to join the society as equals, not as his feriors, so the first task should be to improve their school systems.” “The United States needs to recognize that its problem is not to produce wealth, but to develop the mentality, the sociality, and You CAN NEVER LusE vnun coat Not this summerl Not With out great collection at Garland Caxton knit: to mix, to match, to switch around a: you please.

Mr. Wieman believes they can be taught, but just what and how he is not sure. “Education should quicken a student‘s mind so that he can think [or himself and develop as an individual." What is Wieman‘s opinion of the current student power movement? “Students should he encouraged to express their views to the faculty, but I think they should not dictate the course of their education.” Mr, Wieman believes that the reason for all the turmoil on collcge campuses today is that the old traditions and habits necessary tor governance of a college have been to some extent left behind, but that new traditions and habits necessary lor governance of a college with more student par- tlcipation have not yet developed. When such traditions develop Wieman expects more tranquility, wiemaii reierred ti-eouently to a transitional state, which he believes American Society is experiencing, This is generally characterized by a decrease in respect for a man‘s status, In his opinion this could lead to a better situation it, in place of such re- spect, more respect for per- sonality were developd. “Of course in order for a society to continue there will always need to be some recognition and respectioraman’sstatus.“ “Many in our time turn from God to the universe as the major concern of religion. There is a tragic error. The universe as known to the human mind is a transitory vision. A thousand years ago it was very different trom what it is today. A thousand years irom now it still be very different from what it is today The universe ls known to the human mind as being con- tinuously created by expanding the range of data and creating morc comprehensive theories. Thus a knowable universe emerges from out of the fullness of being. This iniinite fullness of being is an unfathomable mystery forever beyond our understanding. To call it God is to claim to know something about what is unknowahle, But religious commitment to Creative Interchange will expand to the utmost what we can know, can value, can control and will resolve the conflicts that threaten our existence." ML Wieman has not written any books for two or three years although he has often been asked, He cites time as the culprit and leels he no longer has the necessary energy. In the future he intends to relax, think, and migrate to a warmer climate each year when the snow begins to [all in Grinnell. } Union Continued irom page 1 11.43-28-70—Employee l a b 0 r meeting at Legion Hall with students attending 12.—4-l-70»Union C on t ra ct Draft (amended), dated 4—140 (with supplement) 13.441-70—Revised union de- mands (re - seniority) Attempting to deal with the problem of parity of wages and job opportunities for women, the Union proposed that job categories be established along with the qualification and the pay tor that job.
