Greece is subject of lecture tonight
Bv ROSE MARIE LEE
A classical archaeologist who recently returned from a summer of field work and excavating in Keos, Greece, will deliver the fourth Humanities lecture at 8 p.m. tonight in the Lawrence High School Auditorium.
John L. Caskey, professor of archaeology and head of the classies department at the University of Cincinnati, will speak on "Keos and the Cylades in the Bronze Age." The lecture will be illustrated with slides showing stages of excavation and a number of the remains.
Caskey arrived at KU Sunday and delivered two public lectures yesterday.
HE DISCUSSED the relation of archaeology to the understanding of classical antiquity yesterday at the SUA Humanities coffee-forum.
KU men to get view of Greek life
Caskey said a thorough knowledge of ancient Greek and Latin may "neither help nor hinder" archaeological study in North America but "a knowledge of ancient language is necessary for archaeological study of early Greek civilizations."
The dinners, which are not part of formal rushing, are designed to introduce interested men to the general aspects of the fraternity system. Any undergraduate man is eligible to participate.
MOST OF KU'S fraternities will host guests at dinner and afterward will attempt to explain fraternity life to them.
Undergraduate men interested in KU's Greek System will be given a preview of fraternity life at dinners to be held at most of the fraternity houses December 7.
THE APPROACHES TAKEN by archaeologists differ, he said. The culture studied in North America is considered "non-literate," because there are no written records. But the culture represented in Greece is considered "literate" because of the written history of Greek classics.
of the Interfraternity Council (IFC), said the dinner program "does not have anything to do with individual fraternity rush; it is just a means of letting men see the working fraternity system."
"This is a good opportunity for men not familiar with the fraternity system at KU to see just how it operates." Woodsmall said.

"Archaeologists without background in the study of the classics are limited not only in their ability to interpret Greek inscriptions but also in their ability to interpret a scene on a finding such as a Greek vase or other Greek art. They are at the mercy of the translator," Caskey said.

"Conclusions from the study of non-literate cultures are reached on the basis of physical or material findings in the ground, but the classicist has the added information received from written history and literature preserved by Greek literature." Caskey said.
