Lecture Series
Opens Wednesday
John James, assistant professor
of sociology, will lecture on "The
Social Theory of Thorstein Veb
len,” at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the
Student Union Browsing Boom.
Everyone is invited to attend, Ber
nice Kise, Browsing Boom librar
ian, said.
This is the first program of the
Browsing Boom Wednesday eve
ning lectures sponsored by the Uni
versity Library, the Browsing
Room student committee, and the
house librarians. This book review
ing series was started in 1946 and
has proved to be popular with stu
dents. town patrons, alumni, and
faculty.
James came to the University in
1949. He has taught at the Univer
sity of Washington and UCLA and
was an assistant economist for
the National War I^abor Board in
Washington. D.C. He is a member
of the Pacific Sociological society
and the American Sociological so
ciety.
Thorstein Veblem was a liberal
American sociologist and author
who died in 1929. His influence as
a scholar and teacher is essential
ly based on his gift for combining
in his work the historical, econ
omic, and socio-psychological ap- j
proaches. He concluded his long ca
reer as a teacher at the New York
School for Social Research in New
York.
His chief works, which include
many acute criticisms of establish
ed social and economic institu-1
tions, include “The Theory of the j
Leisure Class,” ‘‘The Theory of
Business Enterprise,” and “The j
Vested Interests and the State of
the Industrial Arts”.
Desserts For YW
Sophomores Set
A series of desserts for sopho-1
more YWCA members was decided j
upon for the social aspect of the
year’s program at a meeting of
the sophomore Y cabinet Monday
in Gerlinger Hall.
“Because most sophomore girls
are living in their sorority houses
this year, and have lost much con
tact with friends they made in the
dormitories as freshman, this idea
was suggested to bring the girls
together," Ancy Vincent, president
of the cabinet,' said.
The desserts will include refresh
ments, card playing, speakers and
sewing dolls for hospitalized chil
dren.
Oct. 23 is the date for the first
dessert this term, and will be fol
lowed by two more, the dates of
which will be announced later.
