	Howard Odum, DAB, Sup. V
		Although Odum insisted that the black was "neither an aberrant form of other races nor a hopelessly arrested type of any race," thus challenging fashionable racist assumptions, critics found this work marred by Odum's apparent acceptance of disfranchisement and segregation, and by his failure to make clear distinctions between cultural and racial traits.
		Odum later worked for the Commission on Interracial Cooperation (1919-1944), at first sharing its approach of seeking gains for southern blacks within the framework of segregation.
		Odum's own work in the 1920's joined faith in "objective measurement" with the belief that sociology must provide social guidance.

	History of IRSS
		In its early years, that history was inseparable from the interests of its visionary founder and first director, Howard W. Odum, a Georgian who had come to Chapel Hill in 1920 as Kenan Professor of sociology to head UNC's new Department of Sociology and School of Public Welfare (later the School of Social Work).
		Social Forces and the News Letter survive (although in forms that Howard Odum would not recognize), and there has even been a modest return to the study of the American South.
		Odum's interest in the social and economic problems of the South was shared by many of his colleagues at the university (notably Eugene C. Branson, head of the Department of Rural Social Economics), but Odum's achievement was to institutionalize that emphasis and move it to a higher level.

		Odum observed that all wealth stems from the environment and its myriad systems and processes and that the value of services and commodities should be based on the energy and resources required to produce them, rather than on what someone is willing to pay for them.
		Odum continued from that first publication to suggest that the �Maximum Power Principle� should be the fourth law of thermodynamics (as did Lotka�see Lotka, 1922a, 1922b, and 1925).

		This week's guest speaker makes a wonderful example: Howard T. Odum has maverick status in several fields (that is, he's admired by some and vilified by others) for his activities as a generalist, presuming to address BIG questions and to cross disciplinary boundaries.
		Odum offers the vision and the means to consider ecology at any scale --to look at the grand ('systems ecology') as well as the minuscule, and to appreciate the essentially dynamic nature (his current term is 'pulsing') of ecological systems.
		Odum is an example of someone who can make us see things differently and even question assumptions.
