Lectures The Washington College Lecture Series, The So- phie Kerr Lectures, the William James Forum, and the Phi Sigma Fraternity Lectures provided stu- dents and faculty alike with a broad range of to- pics covering every imag- inable facet of concern. The Washington College Lecture series presented such notables as Andrew Sarris, film critic of the Vil- lage Voice, who spoke, or at least broached the sub- ject once or twice, of The Return of The Adult Cine- ma ; J. Robert Moskin spoke on the Future of Jerusalem ; and Frederic G. Cassidy entertained us with the topic of Tracking Regional Words - The Eastern Shore . The Sophie Kerr Lec- ture Series had two areas of interest this year. One was the celebration of James Joyce ' s Centennial - one year later, and the oth- er focused on Foriegn au- thors and their translators. Highlighting the James Joyce tribute was Siobhan McKenna with her evening of All Joyce in which she acted out several of Joyce ' s women in addition to a few men. Grainne Yeats, the daughter-in-law of William B. Yeats, per- formed harp and voice renderings of many of the ancient Irish poems, in ad- dition to a few of Yeats ' and Joyce ' s verses. Alain Robbe-Grillet, Manuel Puig, Joseph Brodsky, and Martin Walser were all part of the Foreign Authors series. Their translators spoke on the art of translation in lieu of their particular author. The William James Fo- rum, with President John LeScure, and faculty advi- sor, Peter Tapke, present- ed an interesting program of speakers. Highlighting Right, Mr. Kevin McDonnell, for- mer WC professor, lectured on Seriously Impaired Newborns - Should they be treated? 28
