He cited these "delusions of sobriety" and "crusades of optim ism" as the predecessor of the "Jolt." After presenting several previous examples of these de lusions, Whyte pointed i-ut that as l!"9 drew- to a close, "there w riled up a great wave of self ndulat'on, 'We have got It made.

Wild, head of the Harvard University Philosophy Department, at Sunday night's opening session of the lfMJO Caro lina Symposium. Alter Wild's address, sponsored by the Senior Class, a panel, com posed of Irofcssor Wilfrid Desan (Georgetown University). Maurice N'atanson (UNO and William Po teat (Duke) elaborated upon and criticized the main address. Speaking on "Concepts of Man," Wild presented the story of an airplane crash in the Himalayas in order to illustrate what he considers to be five of the most "influential living ways of thought and life in the West." Wild asked his audience, which included radio listeners across the -tate. to imagine five men strand- eel in me .tumaiayas wun inmsy iquipmcnt and a two day supply of food. He then outlined the al ternatives facing the men, each. in terms of a different interpreta tion of man. Wild's "concepts of man" were as follows. 1. The Western Rationalist: This man believes in a world al ready fixed and established apart 1 from him. His mind is objective and outwardly directed, and not bothered by acute self-consciousness. Freedom is simply to act in accordance with the rational order of things which hardly ever means anything very new, since this order is already fixed and pre-established. ! 2. The Naturalist: The Natural ' ist believes man is only a natural cbject among many others in the t Quarterly Sets Meet Tonight For Prospects The Carolina Quarterly needs stu dents to serve on its fiction and poe try boards. "Anyone interested in reading quickly" is qualified. Help will also be welcomed in advertising and selling, All writing for the next issue of the Quarterly, which will appear this semester, should be submitted as soon as posiblet Editor Nancy I Combs stated. Persons Interested working on the Quarterly are requested to at tend a staff meeting tonight at 7:15 in Roland Parker I. The meeting will end "in plenty of time for the Symposium." Miss Combs said. 1 ras fend in a disappointment in expecta tions and political reaction. "This political reaction will be an ir rational type of action, tending in the direction of Fascism," he said. The solution ae proposed was a new economy, not a -ne.v view of eccnemy, in the direction of social izing the big corporations. "The United States needs to go j1 .lCi ii r- to i ne leu or we win De in lor a long period of more private mis cry," S.veezy concluded. Robert C. Wcod, final panelist an I associate professor of poli tical science at MIT, stressed that this pessimistic, bleak fu ture is not a modern plight. "The (Tlficulty is that we have no set of theories to grasp what our so ciety is all abent," he said. "I do not thn.k the Dig World slviuld be feared. "The answer is not to turn our back en science and to lapse into mys.icism. ihis is not the way out," Wood concluded. vast flux of nature. He cannot ac cept any divine end in nature. His world is based on a "natural order without order. Man is an insig nificant part of a vast, inhuman order in which he is free to at tempt to overcome it. 3. Positivistic Man: The Positiv ist believes that there are observ able facts that can be fitted into a framework of laws. On the basis of these laws, reliable predictions can be made and technical instru ments devised for control. But the positivist encounters trouble in his recognition that science pro vides only means, not ends. 4. Existential Man who is ready to Leap: This existentialist i.i much like modern man, but is filled with more cynicism. His willingness to leap, to attempt to save himself on the premise that it is his only chance. Since he must die anyway, he might as well die with a sense of sell-respect. 5. This final concept is more open and flexible This man does I not attempt to reduce mystery to the alien forces he knows, he leaves his world "open to the pos sibility of saving forces from be yond," Nevertheless he realizes that he "cannot remain inactive, "because there is no automatic rule to insure his safety." Wild summed up the so-call ed modern concept as "existen tial pattern of the living 'religi ous' thought of our time." In conclusion he stated that "there may be no saving mystery. ;n which case all is absurd. But then again there may be. So why not take the risk? The other ways lead ultimately to tragedy, and tragedy is humanly fine and great. Eut is' tragedy enough?" Dr. Wilfrid Desan, a former student' of Professor Wild's and currently assistant professor of Philosophy at Georgetown Uni versity, chose to elaborate upon ihe concept of the Western Ra tionalist, feeling that his ex-pro fessor had neglected this philo sophic viewpoint. "The Western Rationalist's con cept of man lies at the basis of Western thought and history, "Dr. Desan explained, "and S such it has prompted action and progress more thin any other form of thought on our globe." Desan pointed out that Wild's rejection of Western Rationalism because "it threatens his newly found notion of freedom," creates a dilemma for the individual. In this concept, the speaker queried, "where is the objective form ac cording to which I, as individual, have to act?"
