Spender, who was one of the contributing authors for the book, “The God That Failed,” will speak on “The Younger English Play wrights and Poets” and read se lections from his poetry. ANTI-FASCIST and pro communist during the 1930’5, Spender became disillusioned with the Communist party after the Second World War and voiced his disillusionment in the essay which is found in “The God That Failed” a collection of writings by former communists. Known primarily as a poet be fore the war, he has in recent years gained recognition as a critic and writer of prose. Spender, the poet, according to critic and anthologist Louis Untermcyer, is “esscnlally an interpreter of baf fled but onward struggling men” —a poet whose work is “prompted by a moral sense.” Among Spender's prose works are a number of short stories, critical analyses, and an autobi ography, “World Within World.” He has edited three anthologies of English literature and has col laborated in the translation of the Spanish poet Lorca as well as the German poets Tolle and Rilke. A FREQUENT VISITOR to the United States since the war, Spender has taught at Sarah Law rence College, the University of Cincinnati, and the University of California. He was awarded an honorary doctor of letters degree from the University of Monte pelier, Vt. In 1939, Spender co-founded the literary magazine, “Horizon,” with Cyril Connolly, but during the 1940’s he broke with Con nolly over a matter of political policy. Since 1953 he has been co-editor of the English review "Encounter.” 4th District Naval Band To Play at Military Ball The 4th District Naval Band from Philadelphia will- provide the music at the Military Ball, which will be held from'9 p.m. to 1 a.m., Feb. 22 in the Hetzel Union ballroom.

In brief, Hamilton Standard DIVISION OF UNITED AIRCRAFT CORPORATION Research Review Prof Conducts Behavior Study By BARBARA SCHEFFER Pigeons and rats are adding to man’s knowledge of behavior pat terns. Howard S. Hoffman, assistant professor of psychology, has been experimenting with these animals for four years in relation to ap proach-avoidance conflict, • emo tional reactions and fear. In one experiment Hoffman used the pigeon and was able to conclude that “time has very little effect on fear reactions and the theory .that ‘leaving a problem alone and it will heal itself’ is not true.” THE EXPERIMENT was con ducted by using food and water as rewards for certain behavior pat terns in the bird. By attaching certain undesirable devices, in this case electric shock and harsh tones, to the food and water re ward, the bird was placed into an approach-avoidance conflict and soon his behavior patterns were erased. The bird was then placed in another environment, fedj and cared for'for three years. At the end of this time he was put back into his approach-avoidance con flict and it was found that he retained his fear, of shock and to the exact degree of three years before. Hoffman has- been doing re search since his undergraduate years- and recently picked this An Xqual Opportunity Employer particular area because it seemed important to him. “It is a complicated area and I felt that I could contribute to it,” he said.
