Treat for ‘Star Trek’ fans

The University of Arizona assembled a top-notch lineup of speakers for its two-week-long “Colloquy on Technology and the Quality of Life.” Included in the group were Buckminster Fuller, Arthur C. Clarke, Ralph Nader and Bill Lear. Oh, and much to the delight of local “Star Trek” fans, Gene Roddenberry. The man behind that creative science-fiction series addressed the attendees on April 2, 1973. When asked why fan response to his show had been so strong, Roddenberry said it was the philosophy of the show. “It emphasizes that no one has the right to interfere in the evolution of other people.”
