PLANET LIFE
 EXISTS SAYS
 DR. CAMPBELL.
Affirmative Side of Argu- ment Taken by Uni
 versity President

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12.--The affirmative side of the ever-recur- ring argument of whether life exists on planets other than the earth received impetus here from Dr. w. w. Campbell, President of the University of California and noted astronomer.
 Addressing an assembly of stu dents and faculty of the Uni versity of California at Los An geles, Dr. Campbell declared that life in all probability exists on other planets.
 Tt is presumptuous for us to think that we, occupying this all most infinitesmal dot we call the earth, are the only living things in the universe" Dr. Campbell said. "We once thought that our stellar system was the only one occupying these endless reaches of space but this narrow view also is being modified. Today, there is good reason to believe that our stellar system probably is but one of innumerable spiral nebulae and that it may be only as a drop in the ocean when
