Ramsey Points Out Parallels
In Christianity
“Marx states that the criticism
of religion is the beginning of all
criticism,” began Paul Ramsey of
the Princeton Department of Re-
ligion. He spoke on “Religious As-
pects of Marxist Theory” at a lec-
ture sponsored by Interfaith in
the Common Room last night.
‘Feuerbach, a 19th Century Ger-
man philosopher, proposed that
through religion man alineates his
own qualities. With a theory of
projection he postulates a God
And Marxism
In a more subtle argument Ram-
sey attempted to prove that the
Marxist labor theory is based on
Western theory of property. He
quoted Locke who states that a
man shall own that land which he
can till and use, that which he puts
his own labor into, Marx argues
that man in a capitalisite monopo-
listic society is deprived of the
fruits of his labor. So ideally he
would have each man receive what
he has put his personality into.
Playwright Discusses Self, Drama, Politics

‘Brendan Behan, playwright and personality, removed his being-
photographed expression and assumed his conversational one—the
difference between the two being only in the direction of his glance,
not in the aspect of his disordered black hair, ruddy complexion or
flashing black eyes.
“T’m glad to see that you people elected the right fellow,” he
began, settling down on his bench in the Common Room. “It just
shows you that this country doesn’t belong to any one kind of person

Gaffron Discusses
Today‘s Questions
In Photosynthesis
by Gay Mitnick °62
“What shall we believe about
photosynthesis?” was the leading
question asked by Dr. Hans Gaf-
fron of Florida State University
in a recent Sigma Xi lecture on
current problems in photosynthe-
sis,
Dr. Gaffron described photosyn-
thesis as a compact problem which
begins with water, carbon dioxide,
light and a green plant and ter-
minates in the production of
starch. He said that scientific in-
vestigations have been concerned
with the discovery of the com-
plex reactions which take place
between the original reactants to
yield the final product, and with
deteymining whether all circum-
stances originally thought impor-
tant are really necessary to the
process. An idea, popular in the
early 1900’s, which hindered prog-
ress was that cleavage of the car-
bon dioxide molecule and the later
combination of canbon with water
was tthe reaction basic to all. pho-
tosynthetic processes. Because of
the disagreement of the theoretical
equation with the laws of thermo-
dynamics and also because of the
work of Van Niel, it was found
that the breakdown of the water
molecule is the important reaction.
It was then necessary to learn
what compound picked up the car-
bon dioxide molecule, Many car-
‘|boxilization reactions were known
but only the reaction of the
CsH100s sugar with canbon diox-
ide gave an irreversible reaction
because of an enebgenized phos-
phate bond. The reaction takes

As Behan Gives Lecture and Interview
Benan Blithely Banters
In Goodhart Lecture
“Ladies of Bryn Mawr and hope-
ful escorts, I salute your youth
and innocence,” proclaimed Irish
playwright Brendan Behan, speak-
ing for Arts Council on Friday eve-
ning, November 11, in Goodhart.’
With tongue im cheek Mr. Behan
pursued the theme of youth, which
is “fine as long as you have mon-
ey,” and sympathized with the dis-
advantageous position of the girl
in the battle of the sexes, ;
Down to Business
Getting down to business, Mr.
Behan said, “I think I’m here prin-
cipally as the author of The Hos-
tage.” The ensuing discussion of
the theatre included a description
of the Abbey Theatre, a playhouse
in Dublin formerly owned by Mr.
Behan’s uncle. The playwright
exercised his striking power of
Tread” a Summary
of his character,
which called him
among other
things “a rough,
baudy, iconoclas-
tic, irreverent,
profane, immoral _ thirty-seven-
year-old,” he thought a moment,
then returned, “Anyhow, I’m thirty-
seven years old.”
Asked how he writes successful
plays, he answered, “That’s a damn
silly question. There’s nothing
special about writing plays. I had
a cousin who wrote plays, and my
father used to do a good leg show.
It’s a good racket.”
His brogue showing, he added,
“Mark you, I don’t think I’m wast-
ing paper and ink when I sit down
to write. But I can’t tell you how
I do it. You think of some ideas,
you use some gags... Well, if a
fellow asks me how I write, I just
tell him to go see my plays and
find out for himself.”
He began to talk about the “yo-
yo of success” in writing.
“Now when I was a boy in Ire-
land, theater was different,” he
said. “If you wanted to see a good
leg show, you went to the latest
music hall sketch. If you wanted
to see a deep, philosophical drama,
you went to see Waiting for Godot.
There was none of this fancy stuff
about critics and whatnot.”
* I went to see Terinessee Will-
iams’ new play the other night,”
he said suddenly. “He’s a good
man, Never make a_ bishop,
though.” He laughed and went
on, “After the show, I met one of
them critics. The fellow puts om
his play-discussing face — you
know how he does it.” Mr. Behan
wiped all expression from his nat-
urally expressive eyes and arched
his &yebrows superciliously, “and
he says to me, ‘I thought the sec-
‘ond act dragged.’ I don’t say any-
thing. Then he goes on, still with
his play-discussing face, ‘I know
who you are.’ ‘Bejesus,’ I says,
“I don’t know you.’
“Well, then I went to the auto-
mat on Broadway,” he continued,
rubbing his long, straight nose re-
flectively, “This fellow Jack Ben-
ny had-told me-that-he was giving,
a party at the automat, so I went
to the one on Broadway, not real-
izing, of course, that there’s more
than one automat in the city.. I
thought it was a special find, this
automat—like a little cafe in Paris

riotous impersonations of the ster-
eotyped characters who once ap-
peared on the Ailbbey stage.
Proceeding to the modern scene,
Mr. Behan praised Tennessee Wil-
liams’s play, Period of Adjust-
ment, as “a great family play.”
Said he: “You could even take Mr.
Nixon to it.”
Musical Renditions
Among the highlights of the
Partisan~
evening’ were Mr, Behan’s | rendi-
tions of both traditional and self-
composed songs. One. of these,
“Don’t Muck About with the
Moon,” sung with a Cockney ac-
cent, was delivered with especial
vigor and evident enjoyment.
The lecture closed with a second
song, taken from the end of The
Hostage. Behan described it as a

from two years abroad -where, -
among other things, he was a tu-
tor in Robert Graves’ household. .
A Princeton graduate, Mr. Mer-

According to one critic, Mr. Mer-
win is “one of the most eloquent
poets now writing in English.” His
poems have been published in The
New Yorker, Harper’s and The
in Mr. Merwin’s poetry are the sea,
sailors, and ships. Many of his fin-

THE COLLEGE NEWS
Last Week’s ‘Non-Comment’
Rumblings of indignation sparked by last week’s non-
comment on national elections being audible even in the News
Room, we find ourselves inclined to comment on them. As
often happens, the reaction in this-case proved far more
interesting than the action which provoked it, and the indig-
nation more revealing than the editorial.
-This is not particularly surprising, because the editorial
atteniited little. We hardly felt the need to congratulate
the campus on its interest in the election, nor an obligation
to inform them about its outcome. We considered a high
degree of both tension and awareness to be givens last Wed-
nesday. evening, and therefore, instead of following the lead
of ‘the Times, Tribune, Inquirer, et. al., we decided to indulge
ourselves in a little comic relief and refused, not only to give
banner coverage to the winner, but to deny that the election
had had an outcome. We were still chuckling over our cour-
ageous stand when we heard the first shocked reactions to
what-one correspondent called our “unfair and hasty indict-
ment of apathy on the Bryn Mawr campus”. :
Having ceased our chuckling we have begun to speculate
on why approximately half our readers found our non-com-
ment somewhat less humorous than we did. Without proper
sociological tallies as to how many were amused, how many
outraged and how many of the former wore what size cam-
paign buttons we can only draw vague conclusions. Perhaps,
we erred in our twin assumptions that the ivory tower myth
is universally considered passe and that election enthusiasm
was so apparent as to be immune from criticism and com-
ment. Perhaps it was actually considered conceivable that
Bryn Mawr could be chided for election-day indifference
(though we hardly see how) or perhaps, and quite possibly,
we'simply weren’t sufficiently facetious to penetrate the haze
of post-election fatigue.
Sunday’s Chamber Music
- In any form of music the listener necessarily enters into
an unfolding process over a period of time, and with all the
exciting unpredictability of performance. Chamber music,
especially, demands from its listeners, as from its players, a
peculiar intimacy and active involvement. Just as each play-
er is responsible for a part, and for working it in with others,
so the audience hears the whole and yet all its components.
In Mme.-Jambor’s-chamber-music-group,-therefore, and.
in the concert which they gave last Sunday, we feel that con-
gratulations are due not only to Mme. Jambor and to the
instrumentalists but to the audience. All worked together
in producing and enjoying that most magical of arts. One
listener remarked that such music might save the world if
it could reach it. As the world threatens to remain out of
reach, we rejoice that a segment of the Bryn Mawr campus
is not.
On Sunbeams in Leaf Smoke
Those with their eyes on the clouds often fall flat on
their faces. Those with their gaze riveted to the ground get.
cricks in their necks. ‘The practical majority of people looks
the world square in the face, “eyes front”. Each group—
the birds, the worms, and the soldiers—generally sticks to
its particular way of viewing the surroundings. Ideally,
however, we are neither birds nor worms nor soldiers, at
least not all the time.
A change in visual habits is refreshing. The sky-watch-
ers to'whom all things are at a hazy distance, can take a
closer look at the detail of things near at hand: the curled
shape and burnt color of a last autumn leaf, for instance.
Those who cannot tear their eyes away from their feet could
find out how nice a piece of sky, even if dull grey, can. be
when cut out by a tree’s twisted branches. The worriers
might also sometime stop, crick their necks another way,
and look at the stars.
Those individuals, looking straight ahead, who do notice
when the moon is full and when the leaves are falling, could
try looking around. We who wear glasses are not the only
ones who lack peripheral vision, and these fringe benefits
are rewarding. The sight, out of the corher of your eye,of
eunbeams in leaf smoke or of the iridescent flash of a bird’s
wing is a small, satisfying surprise. : a :

now playing at the Art Overbrook.
A Candid-camera-like technique

of a young woman, called simply

can see, one of flesh and perver-
sion, to one in which she again
finds things to love. It is an ex-

graphy and emotional tension. | _
Judith, Ex (for ex-married) ar-
rives in Los Angeles to spend the
first year after her divorce. She
runs around the airport trying to
avoid all the hugging, kissing,

ates her.
On a bus ride to her new home
she is audibly accosted by her in-
to know what she is doing and
where she is going. She tells him
she has just, been divorced, and

Judith is not engouraged by these
displays. The angel seems to be

izing that there are some good and

she recovers her will to live and
regains her ability to see beauty

This skeleton story is relayed
through the camera; it is therefore
hard to review. The extreme and
too often horrible reality of scene
after scene of the less beautiful
sides of life plays on the viewer's
sensitivities. Judith sees love as a
wrestling match; we, through her
eyes, are forced to watch a match
and note the actions of the wrest-
lers and the gesticulating, groan-
ing, frenzied vicarious participa-
tion of the fans. The camera goes
with Judith on dates, to burlesque
houses, to car wash places, to a
beauty parlor, to a revival meet-
ing, everywhere. The duration of
each scene forces the viewer to
comprehend Judith’s revulsion and
to feel similarly repelled from age,
disease, contact of bodies, belief,
companionship. People really are
awful.
Judith and the man who appears
as her date are the only actors
in the film; the rest is real, sord-
idly, vulgarly, terribly real, every
last scene. There is no beauty in
this film. The viewer “would like
a nice, pleasant, pretty sight or at
least a lapse out of this frenzied
reality. But it is all human life,
the actors are only in the fore-
ground. '

Re: Moral Re-armament and the

issue.
I’m afraid your clocks and hour-

posed as a farce when I was a
crusading student in the ’30s.
I have sold my sawed-off shot-
gun and am sending the proceeds
to you in a “Moral Disarmament’

If some of the students would
sacrifice replenishing their “battle

sure they could contribute to the

Ten Animals Join
Experimental Rats
In Psych Studies
For a long time the rat has been’
used as an experimental subject
in animal psychology. Originally
animals from all levels of the phy-
logenetic scale were studied, but
for reasons of cost, accessibility
and deportment, the rat soon be-
came the main experimental ani-
mal. Approximately ninety per
cent of all published studies in an-
imal psychology concern the rat.
(Since, however, rat behavior is
not typical of every phyla, some
Bryn Mawr psychology students,
under the guidance of Morton Bit-
terman, are participating in a
series of comparative studies in
animal intelligence and its devel-
opment through the phylogenetic
seale.
Mr. Bitterman hopes that “‘broad-
ening the phylogenetic base of our

BMC-H’ ford Music Group
Presents Sunday Program
' by Wanda Bershen
Chamber music devotees were
entertained Sunday afternoon, No-
vember 138, by the Bryn Mawr-
Haverford Chamber Music Group
headed by Agi Jambor. The pro-
gram ranged from the Baroque
period through French modernism.
The concert opened with a horn
call from Beethoven’s Sonata, Opus
17 for horm and piano, played by
‘Monica McGaffey and David Hem-
ingway, The rendition did not in-
dicate much skill on the part of
the horn-player, although the pian-
ist showed an intense absorption
and control of the music, when he
didn’t play too: loudly.
Nine-Member Ensemble
Antonio Mahaut’s Symphonie
IV was played by a nine-member
string ensemble, including Virginia
McShane, Alison Baker, Barbar. ara
Dancis, Cristine Gasparro, violin;
Ellen Magaziner, Marcia Fullard,
viola; Marion Davis, Steve Flan-
ders, ‘cello, and Judith Gordon,
pbiano. The Symphonie is a state-
ly,.fugal work and was given a
satisfactory performance although
the first violin attacked their en-
trances another viciously.
Lovely Vibrato
Following the ensemble, Steve
Flanders, ’cello, and David Hem-
ingway, piano, presented a Loeil-
let Sonata. (Steve Flanders made
the most of his instrument with
a lovely vibrato and the gratifying
habit of holding his cadences out
to their required length: :
Mystical Wail
- The highlight of the afiternoon
was Poulenc’s Sonata, Katherine
Hoover was the flutist, and Mme.
Jambor accompanied her brilliant-
ly. The theme of this work is
reminiscent of a lovely mystical
wail, taken up alternately by the
flute and piano. It develops at
times into an intense outcry and
then subsides leaving a delicate
aftermath of unresolved cadences.
Mme. Jambor obviously enjoys
herself immensely at the keyboard,
which is a clue to the vivacity of
her playing. Katherine Hoover
executed both long flowing phras-
es and musical pyrotechniques
with finesse,

finale. The four instrumentalists
had authority and one discerned a
real ebb and flow within their
ranks. Again, however, the first
violin had a raw tone and jarred
the nerves during certain pasages.
The instrumentalists were Barbara
Dancis, violin; Christine Gasparro,
violin; Marcia Fullard, viola and
Steve Flanders, ’cello.

Board Honors Marion Edwards Park;
Praises Her Integrity, Humor, Wisdom
A resolution recently passed by
the Board of Directors in honor of
Marion Edwards Park is a simply
and beautifully expressed tribute
to Bryn Mawr’s third president.
In passing this unusual resolution,
the Board had a twofold purpose:
first, to express their esteem for
Miss Park; second, for the benefit
of present students, to ‘describe
Miss Park’s background, her work
at Bryn Mawr, and, most impor-
tant, her admirable personal qual-
ities.
Board Writes Resolution
The resolution was written by
a committee of seven members of
the Board of Directors who had
been students at Bryn Mawr dur-
ing Miss Park’s presidency. Eliza-.
The resolution is divided into
three main pants. The first deals
with Miss Park’s background. The
second describes her achievements
at Bryn Mawr. The last and most
interesting part concerns her per-
sonality. * With warmth and ap-
preciation, :the--alumnae describe
the delightful qualities which en-
deared Miss Park to all who knew

Ambitious Yeats Drama

The Dreaming of the Bones, one
of Yeats’ Four Plays for Dancers,
was an ambitious undertaking, It
is remarkable that it succeeded so
‘well in achieving its optimium ef- |
fect.
The single most impressive. fea-
ture of the production was its|.
choreography, done by Mina Ja-
han. The movements, very inter-
esting in their own right, fitted
well with the music and illustrated
beautifully the sense of the spok-
en lines. It is only unfortunate
that stage space was so limited.
Lisa Moore ,dancing the young
girl and Laura Neilsen, dancing

graceful movement and worked
well together. The three cocks,

Artfully displayed on the rungs

Fritz Janschka exhibited as part

day evening. par
- Mr. Janschka, artist in residence,
conducts “art labs” in connection
with most of the History of Art
Courses, and has a wonderful
knack for bringing out what hid-
den talent his pupils have—he cer-
tainly did that this year. The only
trouble was, there just weren’t
enough of these talented and origi-
nal people submitting to the exhi-
bit to make for an interesting and
varied display. This, of course, is
not to detract from the merit of
those who did display.
A large number of the pictures ||
Mina Jahan in Persian Garb
ally had to concentrate on keeping
together with the music and
each other and therefore conveyed
a slight sense of insecurity in their
dancing. The dancing as a whole
was very effective, underlining
rather than eclipsing the actors.. |:
The actors seemed to me some-
what unfortunately ambiguous: in
their style of speaking and move-
ment. They were neither highly
formalized puppets, as Yeats may
have intended, nor expressive in a
naturalistic manner.
Singing Monotone
Joan Paddock, as the stranger,
spoke clearly without forcing her
voice, achieving a convincing sin-
cerity in her interpretation of the
part. Frank Bowles, as the young
man, tended to be slightly inflex-
ible, but rose out of it in the more
passionate later scenes. Nan Wal-
ter, as the young’ girl, moved
gracefully, and was perhaps the
most successful of the actors in
the use of a singing monotone in
speaking. In her this form of
voice proved quite effective, where-
as in others it occasionally sacri-
ficed. the meaning of the_ lines
without particularly intensifying
their poetry, Nancy Arnstein, as
the first musician, gave an_excel-
lent reading.
Music Not Obtrusive
The musicians, playing and sing-
ing music written for the play by
Walter Morse Rummel, were to
my mind completely successful in
carrying out Yeats’ intention that
the music not be obtrusive on its
own account. The singing was
particularly well done by Karen

Singers And Musicians
by Kristine Gilmartin
Arts Night began with music:
Alison Baker, the wandering min-
strel, playing haunting recorder
melodies. Certainly the music was
one of the evening’s highlights.
The Madrigal Group in both of
its groups of songs revealed its
excellent tone and blending of
voices. In “I go before my darl-
ing” this clarity of tone was es-
pecially noticeable,
me fairest flowers” was delightful,
and the final “Hallelujah” was full
of the joyous spirit that was so
pleasing in this group.
- Lana Lewenthal, accompanying
herself on the guitar, sang a
Russian song, one in English, The
Ballad of the Rising Sun, and a
Hebrew folk song and sang them
very well. Her voice is generally
low and expressive, excellent for
singing the type of music she

interesting, and her performance
was admirably free of the often
rather irritating “folk singer man-
nerisms.” I especially enjoyed the
strong and moving rythm of the

Banbara Dancis played Mala-
guena, a virtuoso piece of bravura
for violni, with (David Hemmingway

complete. Her vibrato was very
fine and accounted to a great ex-
tent for the pleasing, lack of
squeakiness, although some prob-
lems were noticeable in the har-
monics. The two played well to-

Mr. Pollak Describes Sociology Today;
Categorizes Methods, Cites Challenges
Mr. Otto Pollak, a University of
Pennsylvania sociology professor,
spoke last Thursday evening on
“Social Work Today.”
Mr. Pollak described early social
work as the “intervention of char-
ity directed at the deterioration of
the poor.” The rich, under the dir-
ection of the clergy, were: inter-
ested in helping poor people as a
group rather than as. individuals.
By the 1920’s, however, the gov-
ernment took over the function of
keeping the poor alive. Social work
was then developed as a way of
helping the individual isd ssinpanatl
ing his persanglity, Pate
Social Work Categortzed
Social work is divided into four
categories, Mr. Pollak . explained
Social casework is the process by
which help is extended to family
units and individuals within or
outside their families. The social
group worker tries to teach the
members’ of the group to help
themselves . in -overcoming their
social problems. Community organ-
izational social work specializes in
identifying the needs of certain
population groups and thén in or-
ganizing the strengths of the
community to~meet these needs.
Social welfare research makes use
of logic and mathematics in ex-
ploring questions relevant to social
service.
Emotional Involvement
“Private practice in social work
is a challenge more than a reality,”
stated Mr. Pollak. The social work-
“eT always_employed by an or-
ganization rather than “by—an_in-
dividual. “Such organizations in-
clude: Veterans’ administrations,
family welfare agencies, children’s
agencies, hospitals, and schools.
Mr. Pollak stressed the difficul-
ties faced by social workers in
treating their patients without be-
coming emotionally involved with
them. A social worker cannot react
to hostility with hostility or to love
with love. He cannot respond to
his patient other than as a disin-|
terested helper. Another problem
of the profession is that it is an
“ocean of femininity.” Also, social

workers’ must_constantly come into
contact with persons who do not
believe in their work.
Five social challenges of the fu-
ture were suggested by Mr. Pollak:
1) As technology improves and
people are granted more leisure,
more social problems will develop.
2) Exchangability of sexes will be-
come more important and will have
to be accepted in the social sphere.
8) Increased migration of popula-
tion from the city to the suburbs
will affect society. 4) There will
continue to be the problem of a
‘high proportion of. Jroductive
members of society as medical ad-
vances increasé the life span. 5)
Whereas now social workers aim
for the liberation of the patient,
in the future they will have to help
the patient acquire new limitations.

Ambiguity Clarified
Mr. Nahm began by clarifying
the ambiguous title. He discussed
the role of the philosopher as a
critic. Although the critic also
practices an art, it is a totally dif.|-
ferent art from that which the ar-
tist practices. A critic of painting
does not have to be able to paint.
Kant said that “the artist makes
something the critic doesn’t have
the ability to do.”
However, the beginning of the
critic’s art must be in art. He must
understand the questions: What is
Art? What does «Art produce?
What is a work of art? He must
know what is sublime, beautiful,
and from ~there a judgment of
value.
Evaluational Approaches
Mr. Loerke described an inter-
esting phenomenon: Egyptian art
is more widely known and appre-
ciated today than. at the time of
its creation. Eighty to ninety per
cent of all Egyptian art was fun-
ereal and therefore never seen by
the artist’s contemporaries. How-
ever, it was also not produced for
the asthetic pleasure of archeolo-
gists several millenia later.
Kahdinsky, the famous twentieth
century artist, has described the
three levels on which Egyptian art
is the historical, appealing to the
archeologist; the second the pro-
fessional, appealing to the histor-
ian; and the third the aesthetic, ap-
pealing to the lay-viewer. Mr.
Loerke believes that a study on
any of these levels would have to
center around the Egyptian crafts-
man, his life and his work.
Value Determination
Mr. Berthoff discussed the ques-
tion of how value is determined
in literature. He defined literature

Literature is different from _his-
tory in that it is not only its win-
ner who receives attention. Certain
poor writers are very useful to
a study of literary trends and in-
fluences.
The art of literature is the ar-
rangements of abstractions; the
restoring of abstractions to reality.
It differs from philosophy and his-
tory because it desires knowledge
of feeling in terms of existence not
fulness. Language is the expression
of literature but literature restores
reality to the language that has
been abstracted from the event.

Marjlyn Kilburn worked here at
Bryn Mawr with Mr. Bitterman,
and Mrs. Behrend, his research as-
sistant. She first worked with tur-
tles, doing some preliminary ex-
periments for work that is being
continued now. She then continued
with her major work on_ aspects
of’ learning in fish, conditioning
them the pairing .of light and
shock. This was all in connection
with Mr. Bitterman’s extensive ani-
States.”
His loquacity prevented any fur-
ther speculation on where the first
two were. Drifting afield, the au-
thor began to talk about Bryn
Mawr. “It’s quite a beautiful con-
vent,” he admitted,
As for Haverford, he thought
the boys were fine, “Although boy
actors always make me think of
old women. Bejesus if the Haver-
ford choir didn’t remind me of the

If boys remind him of elderly
ladies, little girls are Mr. Behan’s
chief source of disgust. He finds
them “shrewish, bossy and unman-
nerly.” —
At this point in the interview Mr.
Behan discovered that it was time

Photosynthetic Problems

and reducing substances for the
later reactions.
Dr.-Gaffron -stressed thatthe
photochemical reaction was not as
specific as had been thought. It
is now classed with respiration
and fermentation as one of the
most fundamental of all reactions
which even primitive cells, which
_are up-to-date as far as enzymes,
“eo-factors and intermediates are
concerned, are equipped to per-
form, Nor, it was found, is the
entire living cell necessary. The
lamella of the chloroplasts can be
ground down to 400-200 chloro-
phyll molecules-before photosyn-
thesis stops. The photosynthetic
apparatus, then, is remarkably
versatile, is capable of doing many
things at once, according to ar-
rangements in the cell, and in-
volves five or six semi-independ-
ent reactions all of which except
for photochemistry are known to
take place normally in other parts
of the cell.
One of the most important ‘as-
pects of the photochemical process-
es is photosynthetic phosphoryla-
tion in which oxygen, TPNH and
ATP can be produced at the same
time in light. Phosphorylation
must precede other processes to
provide both energy-rich phos-
phates and reducing agents. .
The real problem, said Dr, Gaf-
fron, is what the.chlorophyll does
with water when light hits the
chlorophyll. It was found that
manganese ion is needed for nor-
mal photosynthesis and that chlor-
ophyll fluorescence increases when
photosynthesis decreases. Chloro-
phyll, which is the same as iron
protoporhyrin 9 except for _ the
mangunese in the center, is essen-|
tial to photosynthesis because the
only other splitting of the water
molecule is accomplished by ultra-

that the plant does not grow when

portance of carrying out experi-

is’ “depressed. into expectancy”.
Christianity looks to the second
coming of the.Messiah and Marx-
ism to the accomplishment of the
communization of mankind.
Finally . Ramsey delineated the
analogy between the conceptions
of the ages by the two philosophies.
Both presuppose a_ transcendent
reality in view. The Eden of man-
kind ig analogous to primitive com-
munism. In primitive society man
is not dehumanized yet. He is
not master of nature but is mas-
ter of himself and his productive
powers. The fall of Christianity
where man becomes a slave to sin
and self ‘interest is analogous to
man’s enslavement in Marxist
theory to the.means of production.
Man is dehumanized by productive
processes. These two forms of en-
slavement both result in a distor-
tion of the human essence and al-
lienate man from his true nature,
from himself.
The ends of the two theories are
both better than Eden or primitive
communism because of what has
gone in between. The agents of the
ends of both systems must first be-
come totally dehumanized as the
working class in the Marxist plan,
or totally hated
mankind like Christ, before they
are able to effect the final good.

Kingdom of God where men are
at peace while the end of the com-
munist system ends with men at
peace in the world.
