The Rev. Clarence Glover said most people define love, sex and in tercourse, as a physical act, but he redefined these three terms to mean more. He said the three should form a “spirituality” between a man and a woman, which will make the act spe cial. Unfortunately, Glover said. Some people never get past the point of looking at love in any other way than from a physical standpoint. “Hey momma! Don’t you look fi ne!” Glover said to the predomi nantly black audience, most of whom were members of the MSC Black Awareness Committee vyhich sponsored the lecture. Because society views love physi cally rather than mentally, Glover saici, a man and woman don’t really know each other. As a result, inter course is cheapened. “Never cheapen intercourse to satisfy a feeling,” Glover said. “Take a cola shower.” Glover asked his audience to ask themselves as they lay in bed at night how important it is to be cared for. People need to live in a touching and caring society, Glover said. “I have sex every day,” Glover said, and his admonition shocked the audience. But he meant that sex, for him, may be redefined spiritually as a friendly voice; intercourse may be the touch of someone’s hand, and love, the act of caring for the other person. By sharing tears, hugging and touching, the world will not be come void of emotions, Glover said. “So, sisters, become that piece of china on a pedestal,” Glover said, “to make those brothers reach as high as they can for you. And brothers, re spect the sisters for who they are in side, not as ‘things’ to prove your masculinity.” Glover, ending his speech, chal lenged his audience to start hugging one another and to start commu nicating. “Now you know why I chose for the title of my speech, ‘Love, Sex, In tercourse . . . Can We Talk?”’ Scientist/artist relations discussed By MARY KAY KIRK Repurter Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffmann criticized C.P. Snow’s analysis of the rift between scientists and techno logists on one hand, and humanists on the other Thursday night at Texas A&M. “I perceive no difference at all be tween the scientist and the human ist,” Hoffmann said. “The clash is shaped because of a mutual igno rance.” Snow’s essay, written 25 years ago, outlined a breach between the cul tures of the scientist and the artist. And Hoffmann, who shared the 1981 Nobel Prize in chemistry, said the essay holds little validity. “There are no walls that separate the lives of the humanist and tne sci entist,” he said. The only aspect of separation be tween the two cultures, Hoffmann said, lies in intellectual laziness, bar riers of jargon, and pressures of time. Hoffmann used slides to illustrate the underlying unity between sci ence, poetry and art. Slides of chem ical compounds, classic art and Japa nese ceramics were used to identify the unity of these products of the human mind. “Each are acts of human cre ation,” Hoffmann said. “That is the most important thing.” Hoffmann also identified the im- f iortance of beauty and the search or aesthetic pleasures, which he said are a part of both science and art. “That is the nature of achieve ment,” Hoffmann said, “we rejoice in the beauty we’ve obtained our selves. The pleasure we’ve brought into the world is something to be shared with others. ” Hoffman said that everyone is searching foi understanding. “That is what lies the scientist and humanist together the most, a search for understanding,” he said. Hoffmann earned a Ph.D. from Harvard in 1962 and joined the Cor nell staff three years later. He cur rently holds the title of Newman Professor of Physical Science. Hoffmann has won several awards, including the National Medal of Science and the American Chemical Society’s award in pure chemistry. He’s the only person to win ACS awards in both inorganic and organic chemistry. His lecture was sponsored by the College of Science. SOUNDWAVES Audio & Video I.D.
