The Science Lecture series was established six years ago to provide up-to-date in- formation on science and science-related topics of current interest. This year there will be talks on the issues of nuclear radiation, AIDS, computer security and factors affecting our long-term weather conditions. The first talk will be held January 17 at 8:00 p.m. in the Durham Col- lege Lecture Theatre. Professor Kenneth G. McNeill will speak on "The Human Body and Nuclear Radiation." It is known that high doses of radiation will cause biological damage. At lower levels delayed biological effects can oc- cur, and these effects will be discussed largely in the context of nuclear explosions. The talk is most topical inasmuch as it will address many of the questions raised by the recent television ir< editorial comments (continued) But one thing for sure, they are here to stay, and the governments are chuckling all the way to the bank. The Ontario Lottery Corporation grossed more than half a billion dollars in 1983, a sum larger than the GNP of more than one impoverish- ed nation on this planet. It looks like the figure will climb higher in 1984. Lotteries are clearly a growth industry these days, but when the prize tops the $10 million mark (like this week's Lotto 649) the whole thing seems to lose perspective. And so do the odds on winning which are better than 15 million to one against you. By all means, buy a ticket, but don't mortgage the fami- ly farm.
