Coordinating the production staff are student directors Ronald Budny Communication On Wednesday, March 2, Dr. Margaret Mead was unable to lec-ture here due to illness. In her stead, Towson heard Dr. Raymond Birdwhistle, head of Research and Anthropology at Temple University, who lectured on kinesics. Dr. Birdwhistle's topic was the I human body and how it communi-cates. He pointed out the communi-cation is composed of discreet and continuous modalities. The moda-lities being linguistic (vocal) and kinesic (body motion) as well as the five senses. Dr. Dirdwhistle's field is kinesics � the systematic study of body motion in communi-cation� and he pointed out that the function of most communication is to keep the world from changing, to let one know that others are still the same. Some interesting comments that were food for thought were: each society has its own cultural image; evolution is not just a change in bone structure, etc., but behavior changes also; America is mildly pathological; there are dialects in body motion as well as in language; a person teaches very little of what he learns; the ethnological back-ground of a couple tends to affect the amount of talk in marriage more then their educational level. The audience of several hundred eagerly responded to Dr. Bird-whistle's animated and stimulating lecture. The question-and-answer period brought forth more interes-ting information. A gratifying comment made by Dr. Birdwhistle was his statement that Towson's Art in the Culture course has the forward look. He pointed out that it is exceedingly rare to find an artist with an anthropologist's skills and an an-thropologist with an artist's skills� Towson's course is an advance in that respect as it links art and anthropology.
