IN T H E latest edition of their iournal, the Association of Scientific Workers take a firm stand against the suggestion of the Department of Education and Science that students grants should be replaced by loans.

Students entering universities are m a k i n g a financial sacrifice on what they c o u l d e a m i n scientific e m p l o y m e n t people on leaving school.

BATTLE—storming the pate-house on a Carnival stunt last Saturday (photo A . Gawronski).

Carnival magazine sells badly Sales of this years carnival magazine have not been going well so far—by Wednesday only! about 700 copies had been sold.

Sales manager Jane Pearson, blames lack of sales staff (some people have refused point blank to sell the magazine) on grounds' of uninteresting copy and a high price brought about by lack of advertising.

Many first-years particularly, in expectation of a joke magazine of dubious! taste, and finding this not to ba so, seem to be not buying TANGENT. Anyone w h o w o u l d be prepared t o sell t h e m a g a z i n e at t h e F . A . C u p F i n a l should contact Jane Pearson itt 1 2 5 N e w B e i t o r v i a t h e U n i o n letter rack.

" T H E R E W A S not now, as there had been in the day of Huxley himself, a direct conflict between religion and science."

So began Professor Herman Bondi of Kings C o l - ' lege, when he addressed the Huxley Society on the subject of Religion and Science. Nowdays religious fundamentalists are a minority; generally theology tends to be more interpretive than in the past.

T h e r e is s t i l l , h o w e v e r , a Conarising from the different flict to problems. methods of approach

Religion

M u c h of religion relies o n "revelati o n " w h i c h is n o t open t o speculati v e q u e s t i o n i n g , w h e r e a s d o u b t is t h e " m e a t " of science.

If experimental results conflict with the predictions of a theory, the theory can be said to b e disproved, a l though agreement of theoretical a n d e m p i r i c a l data does not necess a r i l y p r o v e t h e t h e o r y . A good e x ample is N e w t o n ' s Theory of Gravitation w h i c h was not disproved for 200 years, i n fact, until technology enabled measurements t o b e m a d e w h i c h s h o w e d u p itaj inability to account accurately for real situations.

T h u s the essence of science is acceptance of the y a r d stick of exp e r i m e n t a l d i s p r o o f . Since s u c h d i s proof must b e universaly accepted

b y definition, science is s p m e t h i n g on w h i c h people of m a n y countries a n d backgrounds c a n agree, w h e r e as r e l i g i o u s i d e a s v a r y w i d e l y f r o m one group t o another. T h i s is b e cause r e l i g i o n is o n e of these perso n a l areas o f l i f e w h e r e d e c i s i o n s , are influenced b y t h e social a n d

sexual attributes of the human being, rather than logical deduction. Obviously science does n o t pretend t o legislate here. I t is f o r this reason that there c a n b e n o certainty a n d universal agreement i n s u c h d e c i s i o n ^ as t h o s e i n v o l v i n g "taste" or personal preference.

F o r t u n a t e l y , w e a r e a l l different, and w e can a l l , intelligently a n d sincerely hold different opinions with equal validity.

A r i s i n g from this said the Profess o r , i t s e e m e d t o h i m to b e b a . ' c a l l y w r o n g that religious attitudes should b e imposed on people, for example b y teaching one particular religion i n schools. R e l i g i o n s h o u l d not b e a State responsibility, b u t a personal one. H i s t o r y shows that an adopted state r e l i g i o n u s u a l l y to conflict a n d suffering. leads Rather, one should inform children of t h e fact that there a r e m a n y d i f ferent religions, a n d that n o p a r t i c u l ar o n e holds t h e universal a n d exclusive truth b u t everyone is e n titled to h i s o w n preference.

Tangent It seems that the tradition of choosing the Notting Hill Gate Housing Trust as the l . C . Carnival Charity has started a tradition in Carnival magazines. Tangent, this year's magazine, is exactly the same as last year's Etc. in construction and layout. y t r Z/6 t t , l t T h e idea of the m a g a z i n e c o n t a i n i n g articles w r i t t e n b y p r o m i n e n t personalities is b a s i c a l l y a g o o d o n e , b u t i n T a n g e n t i t is t a k e n too f a r .

O n l y the E d i o t r i a ! a n d t h e C a r n i v a l Organiser's c o l u m n c a n be said to be original, a n d even that is d u b i o u s (compare with Etc.).

Even the q u a l i t y of t h e b o r r o w e d m a t e r i a l is n o t t o o h i g h , w i t h t h e n o t a b l e e x c e p t i o n of M i c h a e l F r a y n ' s p i e c e ( w h i c h I h a p p e n e d to h a v e a l r e a d y r e a d in the O b s e r v e r about t w o months ago).

T h e small size of T a n g e n t can easily be accounted for b y the lack of advertising contained i n i t . B u t t h e r e is n o l a c k of p e o p l e w i s h i n g t o a d v e r t i s e so t h e r e m u s t h a v e b e e n a l a c k o f p e o p l e w i s h i n g to g o o u t a n d g e t i t .

S u r e l y there m u s t be some o r i g i n a l talent in a C o l l e g e of this s i z e - — o v e n i f w e a r e a l l scientists.

T h e great trouble is w a i t i n g for volunteers.

O n e is m u c h m o r e p r e p a r e d to h e l p if asked personally.

The Carnival Organisers s h o u l d k n o w o f p e o p l e w i t h a b i l i t y a n d ask them for contributions.

T h e m a g a z i n e as i t stands, c o u l d have come from anywhere, a n d therefore needs something apart from the cover t o g i v e it a p e r s o n a l i t y of its o w n .
