EVENTS The 1976-77 speaker series offered a much more diverse group of speakers than those of recent years. Lehigh wel- comed consumer advocate Ralph Nader and radical Timothy Leary, as well as noted political figures Moshe Dayan, Victor Reisel and Dr. Lawrence Klein. J. A. Lukacs, one of eight Mellon Lecturers, spoke about a link between history and physics. To add a lighter touch to the series, Mel Blanc and his friends delighted the standing-room- only Grace Hall audience. Although the speakers offered a greater variety of topics, the series unfortunately was not up to par. For the first time in a decade, the Blaustein Lectures were not held due to a seeming oversight by those involved, who delayed to the point that speakers were no longer available. A larger number of speakers would make the lecture series more rewarding in future years. RALPH NADER The American people have to undergo a kind of procedural reorientation if they are going to be able to participate and to shape the so- ciety and to preserve their own rights. :r AM - ' - HBjf LEH- ' GH 11 111 TIMOTHY LEARY There was probably never a decade in human his- tory where so many new ideas exploded on the scene with so much energy and intelligence. No as- pect of American culture hasn ' t been somewhat changed, revised, or improved as a result of what happened in the ' 60 ' s. 198

MOSHE DAYAN We are still a long way away from peace. VICTOR REISEL The leadership of the labor unions is the single most pow- erful force in this country. The sheer power of the labor unit is so influential in our every- day life, and we can ' t even name many of the leaders of the Teamster ' s. If the under- world infiltrates the Teamsters they could decide on what day the U.S. will stand still. I have fought for the decency of American society, but to do it where it counts, fellows like me need your help. 199
