students. His speech, a sketch of the de
velopment of man, came from his forth
coming book The Unexpected Universe.
Thursday night Dr. Eiseley entertained
a group of faculty members and students
with a lecture entitled "Darwin, Melville,
and the Enchanted Islands." It was an in
teresting resume' of the history of the
Galapagos Islands from the time of the
early Spanish explorations, through the
time of Melville. He included Darwin's
visit there and his resulting discoveries on
the evolution of man.
Friday morning Dr. Eiseley addressed
Dr. Harvey and a group of his students on
geological time.
Recipient of the first University Pro
fessorship of anthropology and the his
tory of science at the University of Penn

honorary degrees from various colleges
and universities.

Dr. Eiseley holds the distinction of host
ing the program "Animal Secrets", re
cognized in 1966 as the "best science
television for youth." Among his editorial
activities, he served as editorial consultant
to several publishing companies, including
Time, Inc. and Scribner's.
Darwin's Century, one of Eiseley's six
published books, received the Phi Beta

" Small -- but mighty" Crowd
Hears 'Jay and the Techniques'
"Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie; you
were young and so was 1..." The words
were there, but where was the crowd?
The Student Union presented Jay and the
Techniques last Friday night in Dana
Auditorium to an estimated audience of
four hundred, a small turnout for such a
highly publicized group.
Jay and the Techniques possess'sthe
most desired characteristic of all combos
—the ability to sound good as well as pre
sent a sharp appearance. Their dress was
neat and uniform; their sound strong and
harmonized. Jay Proctor, lead singer, de
finitely stole the show with his precision
routines and jokes about his fellow band
members.
Vocally, the Techniques are certainly
categorized as a "soul" group, although
even Art Washburn, one of our biggest
British—sound enthusiasts, professed, to
have enjoyed the show. Selections ranged
from the rock beat "Get Ready" to the
straight soul sound of "When Something
Is Wrong With My Baby". There had to
be something for everybody, whatever his
mode of music.
Comments heard after the show were
all favorable, except for the main and
valid gripe that "we just couldn't sit still
hearing that beat!" The music lifted quite
a few students out of their seats, and
understandably so. All conditions con
sidered, however, we all had a great time,
and were as Jay said, "small--but mighty!"

CAME TO AMERICA
Bossert Discusses "Soul of America"
A chat with Miss Nette Bossert, Guil
ford's newest Religion Department mem
ber, is a lesson in observation and in
citizenship itself. The attractive blonde
Dutch lady has only been in our country
since June, and is trying to answer mean
ingful questions about the "soul of Amer
ica." She possesses the remarkable insight
of an outsider looking upon us objectively.
In talking with her one begins asking
oneself the same deep questions.
The first to admit that hers are merely
observations and not analyses, Miss Bossert
suggests that our nation, though it be
young, energetic, vigorous, is "innocently
arrogant "Innocent," she says, "be
cause Americans in general, I think, are
MISS NETTE BOSSERT
JAMES JOYCE'S "ULYSSES"
TO BE SHOWN NOV. 3-10
James Joyce's monumental novel, Ul
ysses , the first copies of which had to be
typed underground in Paris where they
didn't understand the language, has been
tried in court for obscenity, persistently
banned and burned, spat upon and mis
understood.
Even now, forty-five hectic years after
its hectic publication and thirty-four years
after its exoneration by the Hon. John M.
Woolsey who lifted the American ban in
1933, James Joyce's masterpiece is still
sold under the counter in many countries.
It has emerged, however, all over the
world as a motion picture...perhaps the
most candid and adult ever to be filmed.
The screenplay, prepared by director
Joseph Strick and. his associate, Fred
Haines, is literal, unbleached Joyce from
beginning to end, from the trials and trib
ulations of Stephen Dedalus, and the mis
adventures and triumphs of the masoch
istic hero Leopold Bloom, to the torrenti
ally earthy monologue of Molly.
The candor and vision of Joyce's ver
bal and visual language has no precedent
either in literature or in motion pictures.
The film will not have a calm passage.
Strick is convinced that Joyce—who open
ed Dublin's first movie theatre but lacked
the money to keep it going—had a deep
awareness of cinematography Says Strick,
"Joyce's literary style of flashbacks, dream
episodes, sound and visual montages is a
form of cinematic shorthand.
"Our chief aim has been to make sure
that the images we present are fit to share
the same room as the words. We would
have no business doing anything else, and
I have no intention of whitewashing any
of the important dialogues of the mono
logues.
"That'sscandalisraWe owed it to Joyce
to do our best."
"Ulysses" will run for seven days at the
Cinema Theatre with two shows daily, a
matinee and evening performance.

C. W. Post,
Quakers!
THIS PAST JUNE
so little acquainted with the rest of the
world to make just comparisions with
others. But I am waiting for more im
pressions before I draw any conclusions'.'
"What is the identity of America? I
am not able yet to recognize it. Yes, there
is warmth, friendliness, but what is your
goal in life? What is the core of the
American character? I am trying to find
their aims, their motivations.Jf I could
understand the American family pattern
and basic way of life, maybe an analysis
would be possible. I was brought up in a
warm, close- knit family environment.
But here, it seems, these roots--a sense of
belonging-are missing. Perhaps it is be
cause of the hectic schedule of both par
ents working...! am terribly old-fashioned,
but is not something lacking in homes
here, if they can be called homes?"
Miss Bossert makes her observations
with gentleness and no hint of criticism.
She is definitely broad—minded and in
a friendly, tactful way. The charming
Dutch—born Quaker seems eager to share
and to learn more about "what makes
America tick."
"I have not been long to this country..
But I am very fond of it, of individuals
whom I have met. I wish to learn more
about the United States before I return in
December to India, where I have spent the
past twelve years. I am interested in why
there is all this mobility here: people on
the move all the time, hungering for some
thing more. Why is there all this search
ing? It seems so far to me that you do not
possess a deeper security...Not of personal
goods--l am not interested in material
things, that which hinders a man's inner
self from giving to others."
Another area in her quest for America's
soul is the nation's art. "It has been said
that the art of a people reflects their true
character. If this is so, what is American
art? If it is here, then I have not yet found
the distinguishing element. What does
this mean, that America has no real
artistic expression? Is it true that all an
American wants to do is surround himself
with as many material goods as possible?
Does he not seek to express his very soul?
If he simply aims to gain for self and not
to direct himself to more creative, deeper
channels, what does this imply?"

EVERY NOW
He's BLACK !
AND THEN
In the belief that with all progressive
good also comes some form of tragedy,
we are about to look at a conversation be
tween a boy and his father who have just
realized racial equality is here to stay.
The boy is certainly willing to accept the
change with open arms, but the father has
been conditioned to mistrust any radical
changes, especially those that pertain to
race. The boy speaks first:
Hey dad, I met this neat kid today.
He's a real C9OI head and he makes
straight A's. He s black.
Good grief. You aren't really planning
on associating with him are you? I mean
really.
Sure. Why not? The world is changing,
Pop. You must change with it or be left'
behind. Besides, he dates this white girl I
use to date.
Aaauurggh. Black and white striped
babies! Son, whatever happened to your
chivalry? Aren't you going to protect the
sanctity of white womanhood? Don't you
realize that they aren't our kind?
No.
Then think about your parents, boy,
what will people say about the way we
brought you up?
I don t care what people say. That's
what's wrong with you; You have gone on
caring too long for the wrong ideals. All
men are brothers.
I was an only child.
Thatfe not what I meant, stupid father
of mine.
I'm not your father anymore, and
from now on you call me Mr. Shelton.
From now on, I just won't call you.
That's war.
