be allocated to a group function or project that is of perma nent or beneficial nature to the organization and lehigh university this will be sub ject to the approval of ar cadia the cannon frequently used in the past two football games get tough with soviets says dunlap to i r group bigger predators such as otter eagles ospreys bear and loons because to some degree man took their place recently how ever fishermen have waged war on the small-fish predators in cluding herons kingfishers and water-snakes now the shores of many of our fishing spots are clear of predators humans c 7 oud the picture still more by the practice of fishing only for pickerel and bass two species that act to control the rapid reproduction of other fish unfortunately the species which can reproduce the most rapidly has the advantage in the inter-species battle for sur vival killing off their competi tors they increase out of all continud on page 4 col 2 killing of snakes and hawks causes death of game fish warns lehigh biologist misconceptions of fishermen as shown by dr f j trem bley's summer survey of lakes in the poconos may result in a state of unbalance detrimental to the future of pennsylvania i mm fishing the reason for all the ex citement about fish-predators is this according to the biology professor released from limits imposed by depredations fish do not proportionately reduce their reproductive rates a sur plus in the fish population re mains — a surplus that greatly reduces the amount of food available for any one fish un like the higher vertebrates how ever the hungry fish are not readily starved from the pic ture instead they become stunted these stunted fish in crease rapidly in number due to the absence of predators three species which show this stunting to a marked degree are the common sunfish the yellow perch and the catfish all three are common in most pocono lakes and ponds where many anglers go for their game fishing no noticeable decrease in the fish population accompanied the passing of large numbers of the report of the associate professor of biology indicates that the popular practice of killing fish predators hawks herons snakes snapping - tur tles and so forth may lead to nothing but harm of the sever est sort to state fishing during recent years according to trem bley the fisherman has con sidered any fish-predator his personal enemy to be given no quarter the number of fish predators accordingly has shrunk to a surprising and alarming degree . lehigh awarded research aid a two thousand dollar grad uate research fellowship has been awarded to lehigh univer sity by the socony - vacuum company dr harvey a neville director of the lehigh institute of research announced today the lehigh fellowship one of thirteen sponsored by this com pany is the only fellowship given for the support of re search in analytical chemistry the fellowship is assigned to the department of chemistry and chemical engineering the recipient for this award has not yet been selected constant appeasement of the soviet union can only result in war said professor auric n dunlap as he spoke on the berlin crisis at the first meet ing of the international rela tions club wednesday evening oct 20 in room 466 packard lab professor dunlap pointed out that berlin today is only a small symbol of the broad struggle between russia and the western cowers for world domination for he remarked if russia is forced to withdraw from ber lin she will try again at some other point where these two great powers clash russian imperialism has always operated under a policy of expansion by probing for weaknesses in its enemy's defenses this method was not conceived by stalin or by the communist party it has been the underlying character istic of all russian imperialism since the time of the czars when russia was defeated in her war with japan in 1905 she transferred her expansion to the balkans and her pressure there was greatly responsible for world war i perhaps even today russia is planning to withdraw from berlin for she is making great advances in the far east compromise is the graceful acceptance of the russian point of view a strong five-point program is professor dunlap's answer to the russian threat first aban don future negotiations with russia any further attempt at compromise only destroys our prestige second continue to press charges against russia in the security council of the united nations if russia walks out of the un to save face all the world will recognize her imper ialistic views the constant threat of veto will be removed and the avowed enemy of world federation will be separated from access to that federation to those who say that russia's withdrawal from the un will irrevocably divide the world in two professor dunlap's reply is that that division has already been made third in professor dunlap's program is full rearmament of the united states and its allies with a guarantee of protection for western europe fourth continue the airlift to berlin with fighter escort if none of these measures suc ceeds in discouraging the soviet union professor dunlap advo continued on page 3 col 3 professor dunlap explained some of the strategy behind the berlin blockade postponement of a final treaty made neces sary by the blockade enables russia to strip eastern germany under the right of the con queror and to consolidate its foothold in the german and polish governments when the time comes to make a final treaty russia will point out the foolishness of changing what she has already accomplished and all eastern europe will be under her control although russia terms the blockade a retaliation for west ern violations groundwork for the blockade was laid long be fore any agreement concerning berlin was reached russia got to berlin first destroying rail roads and highways as war booty to make it virtually im possible for the west to bring in supplies professor dunlap cited re marks by stalin molotov and vishinsky to support his claim that there can be no world peace as long as the soviet union exists for example the aims of the soviet union justify treachery deceit and utter ruthlessness we shall honor a treaty only so long as it serves our purposes the lehigh university brown and white friday october 22 1948 bethlehem pa vol xviii r — no 7 concert to feature opera
