FLETCHER TO LECTURE IN APRIL Dr. Joseph Fletcher of the Episco pal School of Theology at Cambridge will bring to a climax the project of the St. Mary’s Social Sciences De partment on cybernetics. As a part of a stimulating two day period of lectures and assemblies be ginning April 3, Dr. Fletcher, who was once a chaplain of St. Mary’s, will hold a special discussion period Sunday night for the benefit of stu dents and faculty here. The Department of Social Sci ences, headed by Dr. Mabel Mor rison, has developed this project to introduce to the school the import ance of cybernetics in tbe present and future. History, sociology, an- tbrojx)logy and psychology teachers and students will take the biggest part in this project which has already given to the school three assembly programs. Speaking first, Dr. Morrison out lined several weeks ago the purposes of the upcoming programs and e.x- plained exactly what cybernetics is. To orient St. Mary’s to the project, the high sch(»l history students pre sented the history of automation. They stressed definitions and mean ings related to automation, and also emphasized the influence of the atti tudes of society on the v.'ork of scholars. Last week Miss Marguerite Kiely made an address about the influence which cybernetics will have on so ciety and jxrinted out the uniqueness of the human intuition, imagination, and creativity in sustaining man’s happiness in the coming electronic- era. The influence of cybernetics on arcbitecture will be discussed by Mr. James Fitzgibbon next in as sembly. In church Sunday, April 3, Dr. Fletcher will give the sermon, and in assembly April 4th he will speak from 10:15-11:15. Following these appearances will be a public lecture by him Monday night with a dis cussion period afterward. Dr. Flet cher intends to show the need for standards in the changing society, in cluding the position of God in a so ciety overtaken by science. Joseph Fletcher was born in 1905 and ordained into the ministry of the Episcopal Church in 1929. Before becoming professor of pastoral the ology and Christian ethics at the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Dr. Flet cher held positions in several Epis copal churches, including St. Mary’s. Besides being a minister, he is also greatly interested in social welfare and held a curacy in a London slum parish.

Each team has played hard and furiously in order to win. The autcome has been a Peace victory all the way. Flowever, a Peace vic tory could not be called a St. Mary’s failure. The Sigma-Mu players wag- “tl a strong defense and offense. The Earst game ended in a close score which indicated how well matched ■he two teams were. The score of •he second game was 22-19. There will be and Old girl-New girl game Monday. Also during this semester the Sig ma-Mu teams are having intramural games. The tennis matches constitute the next big et-ent. Each girl who has signed up has been placed on the tennis "ladder.” As a girl defeats the girl on the rung ahead of her, she mo\'es up the ladder. Any one may challenge either of the top three play ers. The baseball games will also be played during this coming quarter.
