Being a professor, par- ticularly head of a department, is more than a full-time job. Yet, in spite of existing pressures, Mr. Horace Alwyne has successfully combined the two. His brilliance as a pianist was shown when he gave his annual recital on March 38rd, in Goodhart. : The recital began with.a per- formance of the “Chromatic Fan- tasia and Fugue” by Bach. This is the kind of piece which demands a clarity of style and technique in order to present it successfully. Mr. Alwyne was able to do just that. Mr. Alwyne then added a pleas- antly intimate tone to his program when he stopped to. explain ‘the different tableaux shown in.

Denys Page Talks on Homeric Odyssey And Inconsistencies in Ending Sections The fifth lecture in a series on the Odyssey .was given by Denys Page in Goodhart Auditorium at 8:30, Monday, March 8. He dealt: mainly with the return of Odys- seus, the slaying of the suitors, and the general technique the poet or so that it could eventually be in- 'sulated for use all year. Displaying her usual sense of humor, Barbie claimed that she was in organic lab trying to figure out an unknown (“unsuccessfully, of course”)* when Bobbie Olsen ar- rived to tell her the news. She said, “TJ was in such a twit after that, that I still didn’t figure out the un- known until some time later. I looked just.like some mad scientist with a yellow corsage on a dirty white lab coat.” Barbie is a biology major and plans to enter medical school after graduation — possibly Penn, Yale or Cornell. When asked what she was interested in, besides sports and. science, Barbie answered that she likes music and occasionally terrorizes Denbigh with her trom- bone playing. Her passion is sail- ing. _ At present she is quite excited about her agenda for this summer, which includes a trip to Germany “lt visit her mother’s relatives. CALENDAR Thursday, March 11 5:00 Poetry Reading by Mr. poets used, In the last third of the Odyssey there is a. sudden change for the worse in technique, style and qual- ity. All evidence points to the fact that this was the work of an in- ferior poet. This theory was also held by the great Homeric scholars of the third century B.C. Four scenes constitute the last of the. Odyssey as. we now know it. An objective study of the Greek language in the third scene would indicate that it was written by an author familiar with fifth and sixth century Athenian speech, with an imperfect knowledge of the ancient epic style. Similar indications throughout these episodes lead scholars to believe that the entirety of this third scene was.added later -to the then completed Odyssey. In general the scenes fall below the narrative power associated with the Odyssey. The poet breaks ele- ‘DENYS PAGE book onward, the poet disregards about the nature of the homeric dead and the geography of Hades.

To the Editor, In .consideration of the mock case held by Self-Gov. a few weeks ago, we felt that we would like to discuss several of’ the questions which arose concerning the ideals as opposed to the practices of Self- Gov. The mock case revealed a question which involves the entire student body—that is: to what ‘ex- tent must the Board be influenced by campus opinion in regard to its decisions. Everyone agreed without exception “that ‘the strength of Self-Gov. lies in its consideration of the individual. It was most defi- than the letter of the law should be emphasized, and the circum- stances surrounding each case must taken into consideration before a fair judgment can be reached. Since the members of the Self-Gov. board are-elected with regard to their ability to balahce he written law with an individual’s action we feel the entire campus must allow them to do so. The Self-Gov. Board’s decisions should not, be limited in any way through fear of udent reaction to vary: na In addition we felt that the stu- dent’s word shouldbe taken as fi- nal at all timd@s. Those who criti- cize this believe ‘that the witnesses to the offense will/be upset by the fact that this offense must go un- punished. On the contrary, we feel that the respect which Self-Gov. receives from the student body lies in the fact that each student is morally responsible for her ‘own actions. Self-Gov. should seek to bring the offender to a realization of this responsibility and this can- not be done by doubting her word. It is here that social pressure en- ters the picture. By the influence of opinion, rather than by legisla- tion, the girl will be made aware of her moral responsibility. We feel that social pressure should and will be applied. The student cannot be compelled to use social pressure for it is again a question of indi- vidual responsibility. We of Rhoads Hall feel very strongly that the Self-Gov. Board should have complete freedom: to follow the principles which are the basis of Self Government.

A review of depressions and slumps seems to tell a tale of blun- ders on the part of the economist. In 1925, after World War I, Brit- ain felt that if she did not deyalue the world on the gold standard, a depression was bound to occur. Today,..off the gold standard, ‘our economy seems remarkably healthy. . In 1927 economists predicted the fall of the Russian economy and complete failure in all endeavors when the U.S.S.R. adopted her first .|five year plan.

They felt he was sure: to collapse because of the inflation in Germany and the persistence of his government in spending money. After the war, few felt that the United States could weather the crisis of reconversion to peace-time economy. Unemployment figures were predicted-at as much as 12 million. Actually no more than 8 million were unemployed during this period of adjustment following the sécond world war. Plight of Forecaster “Forecasting,” therefore, accord- ing to Mrs. Woolston, “is a thing we may be able to do some day with the help of the psychologist, the political scientist, and the soci- ologists as well as the economists.” Of .course the forecaster is al- ways in a funny position. If his ad- vice ig heeded then the things he forecasts never occur ‘and he: is viewed with skepticism. If he is not heeded, then, when the disas- ters occur, he is eyed with the dis- like that the ancients gave to Cas- sandra, Due to all these failures the economists have adopted ‘a method which they. call projection. It is not a forecast, but an assumption. Mrs. Woolston then discussed the relations of what she had discussed to the economic situation directly ahead of us.

Scientists Consider Variations In Experimental An Dalton, Mar. 2—The theme of definition and example ran through the lectures. of four of Bryn Mawr’s scientists as they attempt- ed to clarify their positions on “Models in the Sciences: Their Use and Misuse”. Prof. J. C. Oxtoby was the mn merator. of the sym- ‘posium. Mr. Berry, speaking on models in biology, elaborated on one of Webster’s definitions of the world: a model is “that which exactly re- sembles something; a copy’. The chief distinction he drew was be- tween anatomical models, (such as plaster or plastic replicas of the ear ‘or kidney), which have an ob- ' vious value as teaching aids and the obvious disadvantage that they cannot be substituted for living things; and functional models, which aim to simulate the func- tion rather than the form of an organ, tissue or cell. Functional. models, said Mr. Berry, have some similarities ‘to, but in general,. great differences from, the physiological phenomena which they are supposed to repre- sent, but as long as you keep in mind these differences, they can be very useful. However, functional Plunkett Speaks On Honors Work Common Room, March 4 — A joint meeting of the, League and Alliance boards presented Molly Plunkett, who spoke on the work she is doing for her honors paper. Her’ subject was “Bryn Mawr’s Responsibility to Race Relations”. She chose this topic because be presented a great deal of field work. Her area was West Phila- delphia which five years ago was totally segregated for Negroes. She found that Negro and white real estate agents would form partner- ships to buy a house in an all-white} neighborhood. Then they would tell everyone in the block that a Negro family was moving in, and would ask for the option on the family’s house, inferring that the white family would naturally wish to move, ‘under the circumstances. This practice while allowing Negroes to move into a previously segregated area, gave the agents illegal profits because the Negro families would pay more for the ' house, and created a great deal of alogies and Models models used in biology, in ‘general, cannot be used as a basis for pre- diction,.as models in other sciences often can be used. Miss Hoyt’s “nerve analogue” said Mr. Berry, is an attempt to duplicate physical processes which occur in the nerve. If she is suc- cessful, she will have accomplished something which he feels is unique in biology: a model which permits predictions,as to the: behavior of the nerve under various conditions. Psychological Models | Miss Hoyt used illustrations from the field of physics in her dis- cussi0n of scientific models. She differentiated, primarily, a concep- tual model from an analogy. Lab observations, word images, dia- | grams, demonstrations, etc., may result in a “theory” ‘which she would prefer to call a, “conceptual model”, In translating theoretical prob- lems into mathematical terms, it may~ be discovered that different problems obey similar mathema- tical laws. Then, ‘although two systems physical laws, we may have a per- | fect analogy, and by solving one problem solve the other. analogy is not always an easy one. Miss Hoyt feels that some of Dr. Berry’s examples, specifically the nerve, are analogies rather than models. A model is either correct or incorrect; but an analogy~ is either useful or useless. Mr. Adams feels that there are at least three different kinds of models in psychology; which may be the most useful is largely a matter of debate. A “hypothetical construct” is an entity which has never been observed directly but whose existence is inferred from behavior patterns. Intervening variables are psychological “unob- servables’” which serve as links in a mathematical chain leading from one series of “observables” to another.

It is Molly’s belief that Bryn Mawr, as a young, energetic, col- lege practicing inter-racial living is capable of making headway in the problem of racial segregation.

The poet seems to be concerned with, what might have been, not what is, in the terms of what has already been Written | in the preceding books. The verdict, of the Alexandrian critics is that line 296 of the XXVI book is the end of the true Odys- sey, and all that follows is the loosely attached work of.an inferior poet of a later date. However, the Odyssey is a complex poem, an epic that cannot be unraveled in the present; we have gone as far as we can on solid ground in decipherihg it. i 1 Haywood States League Serves Double Purpose Continued from Page 1 | not on the executive board this year, she feels she will be able to offer plans .for the League only when she.becomes better acquaint- ed’ with the .problems presently facing ‘the organization.
