They will be having a good time. The Special Olympics Fun Day, now in its third year, will take place tommorow on the UM campus The event, sponsored in conjunction with the Association for Retarded Citizens, will begin at 9 a m. and end at 3 p.m. Approximately 379 kids from Dade and Broward counties will be brought in to participate, according to Duncan Davis, publicity chairman Volunteers and kids will spend the day together on a one-to- Exclusive interview with Teller/Page 4 By YVETTE OSTOLAZA Hurricane Staff Writer Defense is becoming exceedingly difficult, but it is worth the effort, said Edward Teller, a creator of the hydrogen bomb, in a lecture in the Learning Center Tuesday. The outstanding Hungarian theoretical physicist and member of the Center of Scientific Council delievered a lecture titled “Is Real Defense Possible?" to the Nuclear War-Nuclear Peace class. Teller also delivered a lecture to the public Wednesday night. Both lectures were sponsored by the Center for Theoretical Studies Teller has always placed a great emphasis on defense — weapons that have the purpose of defeating offensive weapons without damaging anything else. He argued, "Through better defense we can achieve peace. If you defend yourself well enough and the opposite side believes they won’t win, they won’t attack "My hope is that by the year 2000, we will be spending 95 percent of strategic planning on defense and only 5 percent on retaliation. I’d rather have people equipped with shields than swords." With regard to the belief that nuclear weapons are so strong that no feasible defense is possible, Teller said, “Today the situation is different from years ago. A number of young people in my laboratory at Los Alamos have come up with some great ideas on how to make defense inexpensive." Teller could not discuss defensive systems as detailed as he wanted to because many ideas are classified as "secret information." He claimed that in the United States this secrecy is a serious dilemma because people in a democratic society should be involved in making decisions about defense. "We should stop secrecy altogether," Teller said. He compared the defense industry, in which there is secrecy, to the computer industry, in which, he said, there is none. “We are far ahead of the Russians in computers," he said, “but in defense we are not. Anyway, the only secrets we can keep are the ones which are hard to explain." Teller then briefly discussed active, terminal and civil defense. Teller concluded the lecture by saying that scientists should talk with the Soviets about constructive projects before discussing disarmament. "We must have negotiations of peace before we can have negotiations of war," he said. "Real defense is possible and proper. To attack is wrong, but to defend is right." The lecture was followed by a brief question-and-answer session.

"I am happy to be here," he added. Returning to Miami after having grown up here, Pusak explains, "Is like coming home." "I want to continue the work of Father |Frank| Lechiara and the impact he had on the students," he said. Pusak will succeed Lechiara as pastor of St. Augustine's. Lechiara was transferred last week to teach at the seminary in Boynton Beach. Florida. His new parish will be St. Thomas More, where he will be pastor.
