THE COLLEGE NEWS Pal Page Three ‘Vocational Lectures. Qn Magazines, WAVES Planned for Seniors The Vocational Committee has, carranged two lectures next week in the Deanery. Mary Moon Hem- ingway, Bryn Mawr ’40, will speak to seniors on Monday, November 3 at 7.30 P.M. Ensign Miriam E. Waltmeyer, Navy Women’s Reser- vist of the Office of Naval Pro- curement, Philadelphia, will talk at 7.30 P.M. on November 10. Mrs. Hemingway, representative for Vogue’s Prix de Paris Contest, won first prize in that contest in 1940. Her talk will be of interest to seniors considering the publi- cations field as well as to those wishing to learn about the contest. All members of the class of 1944 are invited to attend. Ensign Waltmeyer willlead a discussion for Bryn Mawr ‘seniors, on. the Navy’s new policy of of- fering college seniors a chance to qualify for the WAVES’ officer’s traini under the V-9 program. Under this program, students may start their officer’s training before graduation. The Navy quota has been raised to 91,000 so more offi- cers are urgently needed. Ensign Waltmeyer attended Gettysburg College and the University of Vir- ginia, She trained under the Navy programs at Mt. Holyoke and Smith Colleges, Events in India ’ To Be Examined Continued from Page 1 In dispelling some of our illu- sions about India, she points out that, actually, language difficulties are not overwhelming as many claim; the truth is that Indo-Ary- an languages based on Sanskrit are understood by three-fourths of the _ people. Hindo-Moslem friction is exaggerated; there has really been much cooperation be- tween the two groups in spite of foreign interference. It must be remembered, she says, that “the great majority of the Indian Mos- lems are descendants of converts from Hinduism.” Poll Shows B. M.

In discussing induction, which hinges on the definition of proba- bility, Mr. Russell asked, “What does a probable judgment assert?” ‘Probable’ may either refer to doubtfulness or uncertaintly, or to mathematical probability. In re- gard to the latter, the rational man should estimate each set. of discreet probabilities—and consider them as equally probable if ex- perience shows that they are al- most so. This is a mixture of the frequency theory and the _theory of equiprobability. Thus, if throw- ing each face of a di is an equal- ly probable event, but experience from 600 throws has made one side come up only 99 times, one may still rationally infer that the probability of its turning up is 1-6. Raw Materials Induction, analogy, and causal continuity are the “raw material of physics”, asserted Mr. Russell. One must accept induction un- proved, The question of the prob- ability inferable from data is not a valid- argument for induction, sine ‘the observations which the inductionist makes are not at ran- dom but derived from the past and present only. Future events may not be inferred definitely but only probably, depending on the factors involved. Analogy goes beyond observation and draws inferences in the present or future. The ar- gument ‘that the sun exists, said Mr. Russell, comes from the prin- ciple of causal continuity, which depends on others’ testimony, ac- cepted because of the analogical argument that others think as one thinks. Although this argument is weak to physicists who hold that the sun exists only as long as they see it, Mr. Russell affirmed that the as- sumption of induction was neces- sary for man’s “future happi- ness.” One does not have to main- tain that induction is certainly val- id, but only probably valid; and not in all cases but in each case, Thus the probability in the induc- tive postulate is not in'terms of chance, but of doubtfulness, ~ and can give a man rational grounds for choosing one action rather than another.

What about Penn and Swarthmore?” indicate an ancient antagonism still direct- ing the opinions of many. On the whole, there was much criticism of the News’ editorial on the subject, which was variously called “indiscreet”, “petty” and “in bad taste,” and tending to cre- ate ill-will. Much fuss about little was the verdict of a few. Few statements were made by students believing that the Read- ers’ Digest presents a prejudiced that it is unbiased usually quali- fied their answer: “A completely unbiased magazine cannot be found, but*the Digest is one of the least prejudiced.” Concerning the pros and cons of “roving editors”, students expressed the desirabil- ity of added interest and individ- uality contributed by special re- porters. “Roving reporters are doing an adequate job and their articles do not overshadow the re- print material.” One student feels that “its editorial policy which can be definitely stated is capital- ism.” Several state that the Di- gest should indicate clearly the personal‘ opinions expressed. “As long as it is interesting and fair,” says one student, “I don’t care where it gets its articles.” Famous Family to Give Concert Tuesday tion brings propagation” and “It’s, point of view, but those stating, Radio Club Sponsors Two Training Groups and Bill Wil- lar, ’44 of Haverford, in coopera- tion with the Radio Club, have of- fered to teach two training cours- es beginning next week.

The family, consisting of three sons and seven daughters, is under the musical direction of the Rev- erend Doctor Franz Wasner. The two eldest sons will not be present at the concert as they are serving their adopted country in the In- fantry Ski Troops. On their program, old church music of Mozart, songs of Schu- bert and Brahms, and madrigals are combined with folk songs of many countries. Many of the earl- ier selections are accompanied by recorders, violas de gamba and spinets. The price of admission is $1.10 and $1.65. Tickets may be obtained at the Publicity Office. All seats are reserved. terviews, monologues and gag pro- grams. Improvement of Voices A former president of the Rad- io Club, Bill Willar has had coach- ing and experience’ in public speaking, as well as in the por- trayal of character roles. His : course aims particularly towards the improvement of radio voices. The classes are open to all those interested, and the Radio Club urges its members to attend since the courses will be vital for radio production. Miss Henderson’s class will meet on Tuesdays from nine to ten®P.M. and Mr. Willar will teach on Wednesdays from nine to ten P.M. The classrooms will be announced later.
