Dr. Sowell, professor of
religion, recounted a story
that shows t h e r i c h . f o I k-
iore in Ireland.
The driver of a bus got
out to see about a tire that
-was going flat. The driver
stooped over as he walked
away, his clasped hand a
foot off the ground. When
he got back, he asked the
tourists, "Did you see me
bending over?" The stu-
dents said yes, but asked
why. "1 was leading a
blind leprechaun across
the road,", he said.
Dr. Sowell decided.years
ago to leach two o f his
classes in Great Britain. "I
learned more by actually
being there than 1 did in
the classroom." He asked
c o'l 1 e a g u e s to participate
and says that he has never
h a d a n y t r o u b 1 e f i n d i n g
volunteers, although they
s o m e t i m e s don't make any
money from the trip.
T i in I' o w e r, h i s t o r y
major, took both the
Ireland and England trips
last summer. "We got to
see great sites, visit vari-
ous cathedrals, and meet a
lot of interesting peop'le;..
We would read .about dif-
ferent places, then see
them first-hand. It gave it
a whole new perspective,"

Ray Bradbury writes for the "love" of it
By Rhonda Ag ha ma lion
The Rambler
Last Thursday evening 1
found out that the moon was
only as far away as the Fine
Arts Auditorium.
On Nov. 17 Dr. Ray
Bradbury, author of
"Fahrenheit 451" and "The-
Martian Chronicles"
addressed an audience of
about 200 people at the audito-
rium. Dr. Miriam Espinosa,
professor of English intro-
duced Bradbury after musical
selections from the Wesleyan
Jazz Ensemble. Espinosa
briefly discussed Bradbury's
work and mentioned some
examples of young people
that she know who had devel-
oped a love of reading and of sci-
ence through Bradbury'sworks.
In all honesty I was not
certain that I would enjoy
Bradbury's lecture. Despite
the fact that I enjoyed read-
ing his short stories in high
school and reading "The
Martian Chronicles," I have
never been particularly inter-
ested in science fiction. I knew
virtually next to nothing
about Bradbury other than
his' book titles.
Although I was intrigued
by the notion of hearing a
famous author speak, I feared
sitting through a lecture
filled with words of many syl-
lables, all starting with the
I've never really been good
prefix "cyber" or "astro,
•iv
with words like that.
Instead, 1 was treated to
over an hour and a half of
sharp insight and witty anec-
dotes. I was forcefully rem inded
how a true lust for life and
enjoyment for one's personal
work can ensure a long, pro
ductive and happy life.
Throughout his presenta-
tion, Bradbury exuded enthu-
siasm and exuberance. Even
though he is in his 70 "s
Bradbury seemed more alive
and vivid than most "young"
people that I encounter
everyday, including myself.
His dedication to learning, and
to his work were self-evident i ri
his demeanor and best exem-
plified in the stories about his
younger years.
Bradbury's- first novel
sold only about 5,000 copies.
He estimates that he was paid
about 50 cents a word for The
Martian Chronicles." When
lie married, he had $ 10 to his
name. Yet something still
drove him to write science
fiction.
"No one believed in the
future in my high school,"
said Bradbury. This did not.
stop him about dreaming
about science and about the
future, even when.other kids
made fun of him.
"Why write science fic-
tion?" he asked. "Simple—it's
the only fiction worth writing
about."-
Bradbury talked about the
onset of technology and its
pervasiveness in modern life.
One of his more thoug-ht pro-
voking observations con-
cerned the fall of the Soviet
Union. Bradbury pointed out
how technology in essence
invaded the Soviet Union,
even though the state tried to
deny the people access to the
staples of modern life.
"The outer world got to
Russia," Bradbury said. "In
fact, freedom is embodied in sci-
ence fiction. You have to
dream a thing first. You have
to blueprint it and then build
it."
"I've never worked a day
in my life. Everything I've
done, I've done for love," he
said. "I never take vaca-
tions.
1 feel that I was enriched
from hearing Bradbury
speak and I would definitely
encourage anybody, science
fiction aficionado or not, to
attend one of his lectures.
I learned that a true love for
one's work can produce some
truly remarkable results.
