DR. 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.
BEVILLE, LEARY ARE ELECTED
I ^asJtetball Team
Battles Peace
As all St. Mary’s students know
the Peace and St. Mary’s basketball
Jeams have been battling against
each other for a tdctory; first on the
St. Mary’s courts, then on the Peace
-ourts. 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.

Chairman of Hall Council for the
year 1966-67 on Friday, March 11.
