the Canadian College Athletic As-

turned after a much colder week in
Montreal and much tougher competi-
tion than can be found in B.C.
Linda MacPherson defeated Manitoba
to come 7th and Damian Chang and
Tony Kho managed a 5th. uebec

took all the badminton golds.
Douglas College will host the CCAA
Women's basketball championships in
'86 and our first goal will be to
provide athletes with the same kind
of exciting well-organized competi-
tion and cameraderie as was experi-
enced by our athletes.

ANOTHER MISSING LINK?

Last Saturday evening I had the

bee ee of hearing Professor K.
Bloch from the Department of Chem-
istry, Harvard University, givea
lecture on the chemistry of evolu-
tion. Much of what he said about
the emer ogy of evolution I could
understand and it was _no fault of
his that much of the detailed ex-
planation was like a Ponetaa langu-
aie to me. However, when Prof.
Bloch concluded his lecture with a
slide showing the following quota-
tion from Aristotle:

"Nature is the end, and what each
thing is when fully developed, we
call nature"..., I was encouraged
to ask the following question:

"When one combines biology with
pie ee eny «ban I say that events.
ike Auschwitz were peculiar chemi-
cal problems and that my own moral
reaction is nothing more than my own
peculiar chemical reaction?".

Anticipating the reaction from the
chairperson, I added the following
question:

"Or must I wait for another evening

when I can conveniently forget

about chemistry and discuss the. mor-

et issue in isolation from chemis-
Ey? .

 

MAD HATTER PAGE 6

My anticipation was correct. My
questions were ruled out of order on
the basis of being unfair and irrel-
evant. Unfair perhaps, but hardly
irrelevant. Surely if Aristotle was
correct then the one aspect that I
can demand from science is that it
peeve continuity. In this case,
he chemical evolution of man and
the moral nature of man.

Perhaps next week, when the topic
will centre on the environment and
the dangers to man's continued ex-
istence on this planet, I will be
able to ask the next question:

"Where, in the chemical evolution
of man did the premise arise that
my continued existence in this un-
iverse should matter either to my-
self or to the universe?".

Or will the ensuing week provide a

sufficient time petted to jump the

gap between the hypothesis of man's
evolution and the moral question .

of man's continued existence in his
natural environment.
