Philosophers to hold
Sti
annual meeting on campus
By CAROL THOMAS
Campus Reporter
About 40 philosophers from uni
versities all over the country are
scheduled to meet at Texas A&M
University next week.
They will attend the seventh
annual meeting of The Society for
Advancement of American Philoso
phy Feb. 29-March 1 at Rudder
Tower.
Dr. Larry Hickman, assistant pro
fessor of philosophy and humanities
at Texas A&M, said philosophers
from Hunter College, the University
of Maine, Penn State and other uni
versities are scheduled as speakers
for the conference.
The speakers we have chosen
through submission of a philosophic
al essay to the executive council of
the society, Hickman said. If the ex
ecutive council decided to use the
essay the philosopher was invited to
attend the conference and discuss his
essay.
Topics of discussion scheduled for
the meeting include metaphysics,
logic, legal and social philosophy,
and others.
Hickman says students majoring
in philosophy and those who are not
are encouraged to attend any of the
sessions free of charge, excluding tha
meals and cocktail hour.
Hickman said the philosophy de
partment is looking forward to the
conference.
“We’re very fortunate to have it
here,” he said. “It’s the first time
we’ve had a philosophical conference
of this magnitude in this part of the
country.” Hickman said the organi
zation usually meets in the north
eastern part of the country.
The Society for Advancement of
American Philosophy was founded
seven years ago, Hickman said, and
Dr. John McDermott, professor and
head of philosophy and humanities at
Texas A&M, is president of the orga
nization and was instrumental in its
founding.
“The Society for Advancement of
American Philosophy is a group pri
marily interested in the classical
period of American philosophy,” he
said.
The classical period, which began
just after the Civil War and ended in
the 1950s, was one in which philo
sophers were concerned with prob
lems relating to real human experi
ences. Some philosophers of this
period were Charles Peirce, John
Royce, C.I. Lewis, Geore H. Mead,
William James and John Dewey,
Hickman said.
“These American philosophers
were interested in practicalities,”
Hickman said. This contrasted with
the European philosophy, which

the possibility of an eyeball-to-
eyeball, or puck-to-puck, face-off be
tween the American and Russian
hockey teams over the weekend.
The network estimates about 36
million Americans have been watch
ing an average Olympic minute, and
a total of 180 million have watched
some part of the Olympic coverage.
The Nielsen statistics indicate the
heaviest viewing takes place in the
earlier evening hours, with the 10-11
p.m. (Eastern time) crowd drifting
away from the games.
That’s one problem with covering
a complex series of sporting events
such as the Olympics. In trying to
present part of every event, ABC can
miss live action such as goals during a
hockey game.
Of the six nights of games: Satur
day wound up in the top 10 of the
Nielsens; Friday, Wednesday and
Sunday were in the top 20; Thurs-
