Vol. LI No. 4 BRYN MAWR, PA. October 22, 1965 © Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1965 25 Cents Tutorial Program Set for Year; Ardmore, Phila. Groups Included Meetings were held Tuesday and Wednesday nights this week to acquaint Bryn Mawr and Haver- ford tutors with officials of the local schools from which their tutees will be drawn, Tuesday, Leslie Hiles spoke to the group who will be tutoring junior high pupils in-Philadelphia, and Wed- nesday, Ruth Barth did the same with the Ardmore group. The point most emphasized was that it is up to the individual tutor to fulfill the expectations of her own tutee, These tutees are students who are picked by their teachers as needing help and as being the most likely to benefit. from the tutoring sessions. Very often, the parents themselves re- quest that the student receive out- side help. In fact, Mr. Frank Foti, principal. at Rhoads Junior High in Philadelphia, told the Tues- day meeting that in the past he has had to turn down some of the parents’ requests because not enough tutors were available. The tutees are usually deficient in skill areas such as reading and arithmetic, There are ninth grade students who have difficulties with third grade reading books. And yet these skills are the ones they desperately need to someday be- come employable - people so Leslie urged the tutors not to become bored if they have to do drill after drill of English gram- mar, because that is exactly what so many of them need, Leslie Hiles, °66, and Frank Foti, principal of Rhoads Junior High School, look over lists of prospective tutees as the tutoring program for 1965-66 gets under way. Those who have tutored before agree that rewards are found on both sides of the operation, How much a tutor can get out of the experience depends on how much time and effort goes into her performance each week. It is extremely important -- and this was repeated several times -- to attend each week. If there is a time when a tutor can’t make it, .She should find someone to take her place, and in any case, notify her tutee as far in advance as possible, Tutoring can involve more than remedial grammar and arithme- tic. Last year, some tutors or- ganized field trips to the zoo and the museum, Nearly all the tutees came out for a picnic on campus in the spring. For many of them, it was the first time they had ever seen a college. The program will be officially under way next Monday. Then on Nov. 9, the regular teachers of the tutees will be in the Common Room to answer questions and discuss any individual problems the tutors may have encountered in the first few weeks. South African Liberation Leader | To Deliver Address and Appeal — I B. Tabata, a leader of the South African Liberation Struggle, will speak at Bryn Mawr Tues- day, October 26, at 8:30 p.m. in the- Common Room. Mr. Tabata will discuss the present political situation in South Africa, describe the problems faced by the libera- tion movement, and appeal for support to Dr. Neville Alexander and other political prisoners in South Africa, Since the early thirties, Mr. Tabata has been active in South African freedom movements. He was a delegate to the 1935 found- ing conference of the All-African Convention, a federation of African civic, political, peasant and pro- fessional organizations. In 1943, he was one of the founders of the Unity Movement of South Africa, which extended the unity achieved by the All- African Convention with organi- zations of other oppressed non- white groups. The Unity Movement has adopted a ten point program which demands basic democratic rights for all citizens and radical - land reform. 3 In 1961, Mr. Tabata became president of the African Peoples Democratic Union of South Africa, a multi-racial political party com- _mitted tothe program of the Unity Movement, During the forties and fifties, he also led the peasant opposition in the Transkei ‘‘native reserve’? to the government’s plunder of the African’s cattle and to the government’s efforts to compel cooperation with the dubious ‘‘native representation’’ scheme, Arrested many times for his activities, Mr. Tabata was banished from 1956 to 1961. In 1963, facing certain imprisonment, he was ordered by the Unity Move- ment and the Alexander Political Defense Committee of the U.S.A, to continue his leadership from Zambia. Mr. Tabata is widely regarded as- one of the most eloquent speakers and as the leading poli- tical theorist of the South African liberation movement. In addition to numerous’ pamphlets’ and articles, he has written three books, the best known of which is, EDUCATION FOR’ BAR- BARISM, an analysis of the social, cultural, and political background of the South African regime’s at- tempt to fragment the Africancom- munity by imposing ‘‘tribal’’ ed- ucation, & Proposal Made at Undergrad For Alum-Student Committee Lantern Night, undergraduate academic gowns and alumnae-stu- dent relations were among the items discussed at the meeting of’ the Undergraduate Association Monday night, President Popie Johns com- mended: the work of the ushers and the classes who participated in Lantern Night. She mentioned that some discontent had been expressed about. the numerous flashbulbs going off, and conse-: “quently next year cameras will not .be permitted. Instead, pro- fessional pictures of Lantern Night will be on sale afterward. Anne Lovgren suggested that an Thailand Culture Comes to BMC With ‘Experiment’ Bryn Mawrters soaked in Thai culture when Sarapee Areemitr performed native folk dances and showed slides of her country inthe Pem East showcase Tuesday night. Sarapee came to Bryn Mawr last Friday as part of the Ex- periment in International Living’s Far East Student Leader Project. She is a sophomore at Chiengmai University in Thailand, The 19-year old student de- scribed her school as a four-year co-ed university with four colleges and about 1000 students. It opened last year, so her class is the first and highest. ‘*Before the girls’ dormitory was completed,’? she commented, ‘‘we lived in the same building with the boys. Sometimes there were problems, like when one boy Sleepily came up the wrong stair- way late one night.”’ Serapee claims Thai students enjoy pastimes not unlike those to which Mawrters devote their spare time. ‘‘Dates, though rather infrequent, include dinner, cinema and of course studying,’’ she ex- plained. Musical favorites are the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Andy Wil- liams and Pat Boone; Sarapee cited stamp and flower collecting and riding on motor scooters to *‘places like the Blue Comet”? as typical hobbies.

There were some objections last year when this item appeared on the last payday. In order to help stu- dent avoid end-of-the-year budget tension, the charge for the Un- dergrad scholar will be on the second payday of the second semester this year. There is. a possibility that a rental service for academic gowns will begin next year. The opinion was expressed at Undergrad that many freshmen would prefer not to be obliged to buy new gowns at full price if an alternative were: available. Since seniors must have different gowns for Com- mencement and _ post-graduate use, they would probably be happy to be relieved of their little-worn but unusable undergraduate gowns, All-Campus Mixer Following Revoltin In Goodhart Sat. ‘*Revoltin’ ” -- the word that has arrested glances everywhere this past week -- is the name of this year’s Junior Show. The dress rehearsal and the final per- formance will be at 8:30° p.m., Friday, October 22, and Saturday, October 23, respectively, in Good- hart Auditorium, Tickets can be purchased at the box. office for $1.25, After the Show onSaturday there will be an all-campus mixer inthe rooms of Goodhart -- dancing in the common room; chess, check- ers, bingo, jacks, and food in the roost.

Alienation Bryn Mawr has made the editorial columns of a neighboring univer - sity’s newspaper, and, unfortunately, not in a particularly admirable way. In the October 6 edition of the VILLANOVAN appears a lead edi- torial entitled ‘Scholarly Cooperation,’’ a quality which we apparently lack. The editorial states; *«Bryn Mawr, Haver‘ord, andthe University of Pennsylvania are sister institutions, and library cards are interchangeable, But woe to students from outside the magic circle. If a student from Villanova were to try to borrow a book from the Bryn Mawr Collection, he would find that he ~ is rebuffed. But not only that, Villanova.studentsare not permitted to do research work in their open stacks among thereferénce material. Penn allows students to do research work in its open stacks and Haverford will honor a letter of introduction from the Falvey Library. Bryn Mawr alone remains adamant in its position.”’ The editors then suggest aninter-library card system open to students on the Dean’s List. We feel that owing to recent:trouble with lost or stolen books and also to the difference in academic systems at the various schools (Bryn Mawr, for example, hasnoDean’s List), that this suggestion would not be really practicable at present. The VILLA- NOVAN makes agood point, however, and weare obviously at fault in our arbitrary discrimination, Also, the present situation solves nothing, since any student who wishes to do so mayenter and wander about the library until 10 o’clock, while those Villanovans who really wish to use it for academic reasons are prevented from doing so, While the VILLANOVAN’S suggestion is not immediately feasible, the answer lies nevertheless in their editorial. Why should we not adopt the same procedure as Haverford and give access to our stacks to those bearing a letter of introduction trom the Falvey Library? Surely our present position is one of prejudice, untenable and dishonest in an in- situation that prides itself on its liberalism. In,reply to the VILLA- NOVAN’S final query, ‘‘Are Villanovans to be treated as unwanted aliens?’’ -- No, we sincerely hope not, A Race of Thieves When Shakespeare Said ‘‘I’1l example you with thievery’’ in TIMON OF ATHENS, he could just as well have been referring to Bryn Mawr. When milk cartons are taken out of rooms or from refrigerators and when bags ,of cookies disappear from desk tops, students are apt to say indignantly, ‘‘Why, it’s just like stealing’’ and then forget about it, It’s not ‘‘just like stealing’’ though; it IS stealing. It’sa low and contemptible form of thievery and should be recognized as such, Although stamps and pens are also taken, food seems to be the primary target. Ice cream was opened and finger-picked out of a carton wrapped in newspaper in Merion, Doughnuts for the next morning’s breakfast have been taken from the kitchen in Pem. Cookies seem to vanish. Pastries for sophomore lantern girl teas, bags of apples from home, and cans of Tab are grabbed as if they were solid gold. The problem seems to be that students don’t consider such thievery to be serious. Along with the wardens, they seem reluctant to make an issue of it. After all, we are onthe honor system. And if it’s played down, we can all pretent it doesn’t really happen. Unfortunately, though, it does happen -- and far too often for a campus of this size and caliber. Bryn Mawr _Students are not so seriously deprived of sustenance or so stricken with poverty that, if they need to, they cannot afford to buy their own apples and cook- ies. As for the milk, it is free to everyone at every meal. Granted, these are petty crimes, But the point to remember is that they are still crimes ... and perhaps by treating them as such, ona campus-wide basis, their perpetrators would suddenly find it no longer worth their time or effort. ...Where Is Thy Sting? Princeton has done it again. THE DAILY PRINCETONIAN’s publica- tion of *‘Where the Girls Are’’ has brought the East’s news media out in droves to interview students at the schools catalogued. Not to be outdone, we would like to do our own evaluation of THE PRINCE- TONIAN’s findings. ‘Where the Girls Are’’ terms Bryn Mawr ‘‘perhaps the most self- consciously intellectual of all. the Seven Sisters.’’ Any sting in this statment doesn’t last long, however; later in the same book Radcliffe is dubbed ‘‘certainly the most self-consciously intellectual.’’? *Nough said. The girl-guide continues by saying it is the man prepared to dis- cuss existentialism and Romantic poetry who will get along best with the Bryn Mawr lass. Quite true. Well, perhaps not existentialism and Romantic poetry actly, but it is nice to be with a boy you can TALK _, to, once in a while. Perhaps if énough Tigers read this handy-dandy Little booklet, they’ll get. the idea, Bryn Mawr inight even reach the point at which the word “‘Ivy”’ is no longer an insult. | applebee | [LETTERS TO THE EDITOR| are they commentaries on the times these orange-pink silk- screened oblongs labelling all the local sundries’? but what is there to protest in trash cans, what more blameless than the library return book bin’? they are everywhere, the silent screaming placards ... blazing a lopsided trail up and down the corridors of every hall ... bemused, i stopped to inquire of one proud junior busily dusting off her chartreuse-vermillion ex- pression of the omnipresent word affixed upon her door ... “is there a revolution a afoot.’’ i ventured cautiously (one must always ven- ture cautiously with revolution- aries) ... a knowing look, a sinis- ter ‘‘pssst,’? a hand beckoned me into the depths of conspiracy ... i am now the proud possessor of a ticket to some sort.of revolt in goodhart ... a ringside perch... i’?1l see you there comrades : theatrically, applebee Answer To Applebee I sing a song of a horrible fray Of people in line for a year and a day. sa Books on the table, books on the floor, And nary an inch for one course more!

Except for Lois Portnoy (?68) and me, the only participants were two lads from Princeton and, of course, teams from Barnard and Columbia The Trivia Game is, in my opinion, brilliant. It is the par- ticular trivia of our generation that must be recalled, facts and names important to us at the age of nine, comic strip characters who performed just for us. I see the game as an assertion of our uniqueness and of the special qual- ity of our post-war inheritance. In this respect, the contest ful- filled all expectations. It was ex- hilarating to remember the family in **1 Remember Mama’ and all the lyrics of the Bosco jingle. A small band, a vocal group, and the audience performed many of the singable answers. Bryn Mawr and Barnard, well matched, pro- vided much of the electricity. Co- lumbia was phenomenally good, Princeton phenomenally bad. vAside from the contest itself, however, Columbia had _ nothing planned for us: no food, no es- corts, no reception in any sense of the word. Even the girls at the ‘Barnard hall where we stayed (at- Columbia’s expense) regis- FSET LETS ee OF ee ARETE MT 2 an a eat metas fae he bi Wath wie a bo Fen) aR Nida sa eaeny 1 Aaja a weeny eee ame RP a tered either amused scorn or total blankness. What was missing was simply the human element. There is a certain decorum imposed by such a contest upon the host school, a finesse of arrangement which I know would be observed at, say, Bryn Mawr. Big-city, big-school coldness froze us to the bone when it was most important to be received warmly. .The winner of last year’s intra- Columbia trivia contest was half of Columbia’s team Saturday. A hotbed of trivia, Columbia won, hands down, with a score of 41 correct answers; Barnard came in second, with 19-1/2; Bryn Mawr, third, with 18-3/4; and poor sput- tering Princeton, very last, with 11-1/2. Lois and I were given the last question of the contest: ‘‘What did the Witch Doctor say?’* After lead- ing the audience in several choruses of ‘‘Oo ee oo ah ah, ting tang walla walla bing bang,’’ we stumbled backstage to find our coats. The trombonist from the band, packing up his instru- ment, asked me, ‘‘Did you really ,come ‘all that way just to be in this contest??’ Frankly, . without competition from Lois .and me, Columbia’s: grand tourney of trivia would have been nothing but a trivial farce. é low in sentiment. They resent change. Granted! This of Grad would like to be the exception. Lantern Night was delightful. The singing was lovely -- far less lag than back in the 40’s. BUT how about that scurry into the corner by a giggling gaggle of sophomores, and the shout of **Pallas Athena’? in the manner of an athletic cheer? Must we have that? - Perhaps there isa subtlety there that I and other observers have missed, Surely change is not a necessity. I questioned a sopho- more. She didn’t like it but said it was an old custom. No one liked it, but feared it was here to stay. WHY? It is NOT anancient rite. It?s been going ‘only a few years. How about restoring that rite to an even earlier and better form? Camilla Riggs Meigs, ’40 Feedback To the Editor: -* : I was most distressed by the editorial ‘on the food in Erdman which appeared in the October 15 issue of the COLLEGE NEWS. The article spread misconceptions and did not contribute to solving the problems at hand. The truth is that there is plenty of food in Erdman. Shortages of serving dishes, glasses, and other articles do cause delays in serv- ice, Accordingly, additional table- ware has been ordered, Miscalcu- lation has occasionally resulted in an undersupply. of one dish, most commonly dessert, However, other food is in-ample supply. The meal situation in Erdman has improved _ steadily . since Freshman Week, The hall manage- ment is aware that problems exist, and has been working hard to over- come them, During the first weeks of the use of Erdman, the cheerful co- operation of the student body is not too much to ask. Any Erdman resident unwilling to bear initial inconveniences should not have asked to live in the new dorm. Superficial, petty criticism onany- one’s part is selfish and irres- ponsible, Let’s use our insight more con- © structively. é Susan Orbeton ’67 Apology To the Editor: The headline to my article in THE COLLEGE NEWS, October 15, reads: ‘fLevi Knocks Toronto Teach-In for Bias, Lack of, Dis- cussion.’’ I apologize to the Teach- In committee if.my analysis sug- gested bias on their part. The massiveness and formality of the conference’ presented, I thought, insurmountable barriers to dis- cussion, but the Committee certainly worked at attaining ob- jectivity. The only real threat to this objectivity came when Professor Robert Scallopino refused to speak if Michael Meyewson was part of the same program, In order to clarify what happened, I have in- cluded that part of my article which the editors cut from their last issue: *“‘The professor felt that he would be legitimizing the viewpoint of Meyerson, an American Com- munist, by sharing the platform with him, On the other hand, he felt that the audience would think him a racist if he opposed the position of William Worthy, an American Negro; therefore, he also refused to appear with Worthy. **In order not to lose its spokes- man ior the U.S, the Teach-In Committee was forced to drop Meyerson from the program and ‘to retain Worthy only as a reader of N.D,F, documents, Luckily, both Worthy and the Cambodian took an active part if the discussion,’ Margaret Levi °68 October 22, 1965 COLLEGE NEWS Page Three Newest Addition to Bogartiana Real Boon to Members of Cult by Mary Wolfe, '66 Addiction to H is the subject of speculation in Richard Gehman’s: BOGART, H .in this case stands not for heroin but for Humphrey Bogart. One addict claims to have seen CASABLANCA. nineteen times. The author presents many reasons for the attraction of The Cult but in the end leaves it all up in the air, BOGART is an assemblage of short anecdotes and fond personal recollections of Bogey. At times it seems that such a recital (and one that is admittedly not ojbective) is the only purpose of the book. These passages, however, serve to perpetuate his image as the ‘‘last romantic survival of male hero- ism.’’ The actual biographical material takes up little space but serves to fill the reader in on his family background, education, etc. This account, too, is filled with anec- dotes which are the result of interviews with those who knew Bogey when, The author, by now obviously pro-Bogey, takes great care in explaining young Bogart’s explusion from Trinity and An- dover - notfor mischevious pranks but for scholastic reasons, In attempting to diagnose the ee ot ~ _ Bogey’s portrayals. Bogart Cfilt the author attributes its rise and spread to the ‘‘col- legiate’’ generation, particularly to Harvard. He feels that Bogey epitomizes all that past decade of gangster and detective films and the men ‘‘who no longer trusted anybody.’? Those who participate in the cult, he speculates, are really not intellectuals (Harvard notwith- standing) andtherefore get a vicar- fous thrill of rebellion from NX Often in the course of the biog- raphy we are given Bogey’s own relation to. his image as well as to his films. Of BEAT THE DEVIL, considered to be one of his better performances,. he said, ‘‘It’s a mess.’’ Members of the Rat Pack, a Bogart creation by the way, contribute other insights into his personality. His widow, actress Lauren Bacall, also attempts to assay the Bogart revival. A real boon to members of The Cult is the listing of all 75 HB films, giving year made, co-stars, and occasionally editorial. com- ménts as to the merit of the film. This small paperback also con- tains many pictures, For those who want an intimate and chatty review of Bogartiana, BOGART is just the thing. Bogart camps up a movieland image of the great all-around sportsman.

Ipcress File Gui Buds Bond, Produces First-Rate Spy Story by Pilar Richardson Despite improbability, someone has come out with a film that out- Bonds James Bond, THE IPCRESS FILE has all the trappings of a first rate spy story that makes Bond look like a marionette. The film’s chief merit is that it is set in London, This is not the London of plush executive suites and exotic night clubs, but rather London. as it really is; gray, slight- ly old fashioned, and smacking of bureaucracy. It is in this milieu that we find Harry Palmer, played by Michael Caine, bored with the routine of his job with the government, As the story unfolds, we see that he hasa reputation for being insubordinate and overly witty; he is in Intel- ligence only because it was the alternative to being courtmartial- led in the army. As the story unfolds, we see that Harry may be stubborn, but he is also quick-witted, especially under stress, On the surface he lacks the polish of James Bond, but he has a knack for blunt witticism that defies belief, Take for in- stance the following scene. Palmer returns to his apartment one eve- ning to find Jean, a girl from the office, searching the place. He walks across the room to the kitchenette, starts to put away his groceries and asks if she has found where he keeps his whiskey. There is dead silence for a moment and the girl replies inthe affirmative. Palmer says ‘‘Good, fix us two drinks,’’ Another merit of the film is that it tdkes a stand against the red tape involved in any government organization without being heavy- handed. Palmer has two rival supervisors, each of whom de- VISA Cards Offer.

Palmer is as- signed to find out why there has been such a huge drainon scientific talent, and he proceeds to collect information in a manner more re- miniscent of Sherlock Holmes than James Bond, While his. cohorts are busy checking pubs for a_ suspected agent, Palmer goes straight to Scotland Yard and finds his man ‘with the help of the mdn’s record of parking tickets. When the miss- ing scientist is returned, Palmer does not immediately discover that he has been brainwashed, this is for the doctors to determine; Palmer is merely acting asa more dignified version of a body guard. It is Carswell not Palmer who discovers the connection. between the word ipcress and a certain type of brain washing, However, Michael Caine is at - his best when he is finally captured by the opposition and submitted to * brain washing, He does not escape the brain washing, as James Bond would have, but endures it usifig pain to counteract the affect of brain washing. The acting and staging of this particular episode is superb, ‘The ending? That is the secret of THE IPCRESS FILE and is the tqur de force of the production, It is safe’to say that it too is skill- fully handled. MADS DISCQUNT RECORDS 9 W.

Girls In 1966 a Frankish monarch will govern the world. Such is the startling prediction of one of the modern apocalyptic writers, Those who attended the first 1965- 66 Mary Flexner lecture Monday night realize there is not much to fear, however, for this same authority forewarned an atomic cataclysm for 1964, Frank Kermode, noted English literary critic, touched upon this example of ‘*Fictions of the Apo- calypse’’ in his opening lecture of six on ‘The Long Perspec- tives; The Theory of Fiction.”’ The highly enlightening lecture dealt with man’s constant attempt to discover an order in the world, to find a relationship in time with a beginning and an end, Yeats’ Golden Bird, in singing ‘tof what is past, or passing, or to come,’’ is unlike ‘man in that he has found his place in eter- nity. Yet he is apart from nature in being able to speak with such a perspective, What Mr. Kermode called ‘‘Fic- phia’s Main Line and one would expect tq find the college of Bryn Mawr filled with chic coiffures, white tennis dresses, and talk of deb parties past and future. But there is no typical Bryn Mawr girl. Indeed, there is somethin for everybody here. Contrary to the Seven Sister image, Bryn Mawr girls are more interested in concealing their in- tellects than in displaying them, in a social situation. While some, of course, favor the casual look of long hair and sandals, there are many others who are willing to spend all Friday preparing for a date -- if he’s worth it. Haverford, just down the road, doesn’t rate this kind of atten- tion. A Bryn Mawrter’s social status is determined not by ‘how many Haverford dates she has, but by how. many she turns down in favor of Princeton or Yale, Some girls like the soulful beat look, but only from Monday to Thurs- day -- just to keep in practice. ‘Haverford would like to think it’s married to Bryn Mawr, but the girls are suing for divorce, Invasion is easy. Almost every form of transportation existing can take you to Bryn Mawr. One- third of Bryn Mawr’s 750 stu- dents leave each weekend, and except for the two: big weekends, and the 750 girls, there is little on-campus entertainment. Junior and Freshman Show Weekends are worth taking in; plan on at least taking your date out to dinner. On May Day, Lantern Night, Hell Week and other traditional Bryn Mawr affairs, your date may have to spend some time away, but you ‘can be sure she’1l be pleased , to have you there. Unfortunately “in an ordered system of events with a definite end. As in Vergil or Genesis, the actual end might be lost, but the ‘‘shadow of the end”’ always remains, informing each moment of the present. The Bible is, ideally, a wholly concordant structure, tracing history from beginning to end and summing it up with a look into the future, Mr. Kermode sees man as main- taining a ‘‘middle’’ position, at- tempting to define a beginning and an end in order to give some meaning to his life. He fears but cannot see his own end, or death, and humanly controllable ends, First of Kermode’s Six Lectures Interprets Fiction of Apocalypse tions of the End’”’ have their basis: Therefore, he creates intelligible tered on concerts and movies, . much against the girls’ wishes, e It’s' good to have a car, since Halloween Cards \more .interesting entertainment and Decorations _¢éan easily be reached. ‘The rest of the time, Phila- H .delphia is 11 miles away.

Mr. Kermode pointed out that one can arrange and rearrange the given data to make it fit any prediction or ra- tionalize any failure, and yet still retain a literal view. The end can always be ‘‘now,”’ In this constantly evolving cycle apocalypses can be discomfirmed but never discredited. Thus the aforementioned ‘‘prophet’’, un- daunted by the absence of a world war in 1964, with a little manip- ulation can continue to publish new editions of his book, This shows man’s need for consonance, his desire to find a pattern, and his attempts to restore that pattern, once it is broken by fact. Mr. Kermode argued that man’s desire for -an event can actually cause it to occur and thus alter the- course of history. He gave as an example the year 1000 which sive background material, Mr. Kermode devoted the rest of his time to a discussion of its influ- ence in literature, He described a conflict inherent in all men, especially evident in fiction, be- tween the need for an image Of an end and the attempt to retain -respect for reality, A novel cannot proceed directly to a predestined end as can a myth. There is always a certain amount of ‘‘peripateia,’’ the degree of which determines the sophis- tication of the novel. The reader inevitably finds his original ex- pectation. falsified and must -then read just them in relation to anew end. Mr. Kermode pointed out a sub- jectification in the literature of today, in that we have transferred our focus from the universal eng to the individual end, This pres- sure thus influences every mo- ment, every crisis, of a person’s life. The complexities of the modern world make impossible a simple concordance of beginning, middle, and end, but the heed fora pattern remains, S. R.
