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.

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.

immediately,

Each year the Undergrad scholar
is supported by a $3 contribution
from each student, The charge is
placed on the payday bill indepen-
dent of Undergrad dues. 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,

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

porter from the Philadelphia BULLETIN about their experiences

at New York.
_ Marcia Ringel, '68
The All Ivy League-Seven Sis-
ters Intercollegiate Trivia Con-
test at Columbia College last Sat-
urday evening hardly deserved its
impressive title. 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

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?

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

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,’

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.

THE IPCRESS FILE - Michael Caine, as Harry Palmer, is the

dauntless spy who is secretly a gourmet.

mands his services, Palmer also
is forced to wade through case
reports when he would rather be
out on the job. Like any. civil
servant of the lower orders, once
his interest in a particular assign-
ment is aroused, nothing can stop
him.

Chiengmai is Thailand’s second
largest city, with more than 800,000
inhabitants, The country’s economy
is based on agriculture, and rice,
tobacco, teak wood and silk are
main products. Sarapee noted sil-
ver work, crockery and earthen-
ware as important industries.

Clad in native festival costume
with mandarin collar and silk obi,
she explained that students at the
university wear knee-length skirts
and blouses to classes. Freshmen
must wear blue and white, while
upperclassmen may. sport’ the
colors of their choice ‘‘as long as
they are not too optical.,’’

Women don the traditional long
sheath for festivals and religious
dances, Sarapee performed one
such dance wearing four-inch gold
false fingernails which carl up at

Finally, it is the ultimate plau-
sibility of the situation that gives
the film its merit. 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.

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,

such as historical epochs and cen-
tennials.

“Naive apocalyptism,” or a lit-
eral acceptance ofthe Book of Rev-
elation, gives some the satis-
faction they seek. 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.
