XLIX, NO. 18 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1953 Copyright, Trustees of » Bryn Mawr College, 1953 PRICE 20 CENTS Havelock Poses Theory of Art, Ideals of Plato Horace White Lecturer Shows Ambiguity In ‘Republic’ “How could such a supreme art- ist of the written word as Plato turn against poetry?” asked Mr. Eric A. Havelock, Horace White Memorial Lecturer, Monday eve- ning at 8:15 in Goodhart. Mr. Havelock, Professor of Greek and Latin at Harvard University, analyzed Plato’s apparent ambigu- ity concerning poetry in The Re- public. A confusion in Plato’s ideas actually existed, Mr. Have- lock asserted, but it existed rather in historical fact than in Plato’s mind, as a crisis in the develop- ment of Greek culture brought about by the transition from the oral to the written word. The ambiguity of Plato hinges on his use of two definitions of the word “mimetic” without separating them in his own mind. The first definition regards “mimetic” as assimilating oneself to character- ization—in modern language, emo- tional identification—which he sus-| pects because he believes it has pathelogical effects. However, in the tenth book, Plato describes “mimetic” as some- thing different from emotional identification.. He regards it rather as liberal representations of ap- pearances, whether or not emotion- al identification occurs. All poetry is regarded as a vehicle for report- ing the world of opinion. It is an un- acceptable vehicle because it is not scientific, abstract, and objective. Plato finds a scientific, acceptable vehicle in analytic description and classification of phenomena.

In comparison to the other ap- pearances which the orchestra has made this year (accompanying the Chorus concerts), Friday evening’s program was far superior, The great difference was due in part to the hard work of both musicians and director; however, the success must be attributed mainly to the added instruments of the Drexel group which swelled the size of orchestra, lending the volume and tone quality which the Bryn Mawr- Haverford contingent lacked by” itself. The program opened with the overture to the ballet Don Juan by Gluck, one of the better numbers done by the orchestra. A group of gay Rumanian folk songs by Bela Bartok followed the overture. The third dance contained a flute solo performed with a good deal of sensitivity by David Hogenauer of Haverford. An interesting note was added to the concert-by-a trio for flute, clarinet, and horn from William Blake, composed by Harrison Draper (Haverford, ’55). The musicians were David Hogenauer, flute; Louis Thomas, clarinet; Harrison Draper, horn. _The featured work, Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks, was somewhat of a disappointment. Al- though the piece was well executed on the whole, the brass section was weak, despite the able support of the principal trumpeter, Samuel Krauss, of the Philadelphia Or- chestra. By far the outstanding selection Continued on Page 4, Col. 5 LC.G. Conference Discusses Politics, Practices Planning And Voting Bills A study in parliamentary pro- cedure and the various stages of politics was provided for all mem- bers of the Intercollegiate Confer- ence on Goverment on Saturday at West Chester State Teachers Col- lege. The event was the regional a “twin” of the state government. Early in the morning, after the representatives of nine schools had registered, Dr. Charles Swope, president of State Teachers (Col- mally, with a speech about the purposes of ICG and some back- ground information about the set- ting. Next on the agenda was the meeting of various committees, among them Education, Civil Rights, Health and Welfare, Transportation and Commerce, Agriculture, etc. At these meet- ings, which lasted about two and a half hours, the committee mem- bers brought up any bills they had planned. After proper amending the bill was either passed by the committee or killed. Each com- mittee was allowed to present SP” oe: | three bills. Once the committees were gathered again in the Me- morial Library (where the gen- eral session was held), officers for this year’s conference were elect- ed. Mike Shaw of Haverford was chosen chairman, and his slate con- sisted of Ed Becker of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, Parliamen- tarian; Joe Willard of Drexel and Bob Porter of State Teachers Col- lege, Sergeants-at-Arms; Natalie Fasick of Bryn Mawr, Timer, and Claire Weigand of Bryn Mawr, Clerk. The most important business of the meeting was transacted when the committees presented their bills to the legislature for voting. Two’ committees — State Govern- ment and National Resources — were headed by Bryn Mawr girls, Dorothy Newbegin and Liz War- ren. The voting tended to be in blocks, so that nearly all the “ayes” came from one side of the room, all the “nays” from the year-olds and enforcing a Fair Employment Practices Commission in Pennsylvania. id Historian Relates Mediaeval Athens With Archaeology “T want to deal with the subject of mediaeval Athens and modern archaeology ... a debased sub- ject,” began Kenneth M. Setton of the University of Pennsylvania, giving the Classics Club lecture in the Common Room Thursday eve- ning. Quoting the humorist Osbert Lancaster, who described the archaeologist’s job in Athens as tearing down the Turkish quarter to get at the older ruins, Mr. Set- ton declared that most of today’s rubble dates from the Greek revo- lution. The destroyed buildings remain in photographs; “little has been lost and a great deal found.” Ancient and mediaeval history has been rewritten from the work still being so carefully and meticulously done in Athens. It is modern archaeology which points out the connection between Athens and Christianity. Pottery, coins, and successive road levels all help supply part of the story leading up to the Turkish period. Coins, stamped with emperor’ images, serve to date walls or buildings in which they are found. Gold and silver coins are not discovered so often— perhaps because when a man loses a valuable coin he doesn’t stop searching until it is found.

Mrs. Vining has asked that the lecture be open only to members of the College so we are indeed privi- leged.

Col. 2 Miss Sarton, Poet Accepts Fellowship For Creative Work May Sarton, American novelist and poet, has been awarded wie Lucy Martin Donnelly leliowsaip for 1953-1954. It is a tellowsiip of $3000 given to further creative writing or research in the human- ities. Lucy Martin Donnelly was a member of the Bryn Mawr faculty for many years. From 1911 to 1936 she was head of the English department and encouraged crea- tive writing and research among her students. An inspiring and delightful person, she was well known in literary circles and be- loved by all those with whom she came in contact—both her students and her colleagues. The fellowship was awarded to Miss Sarton on the basis of her distinction in creative writing. She has written several books of poetry which include Encounter in April, Inner Landscape, and The Lion and the Rose. Some of her best- known novels are The Single Hound, Bridge of Years, and Shadow of a Man. Miss Sarton was born in Belgium, the daughter of the eminent scientific historian, George Sarton. Educated in Cam- bridge, Massachusetts, she came to know Boston well—a fact which is refiected in much of her work. After a few years as an apprentice at Eva LeGalliene’s Civic Reper- tory Theatre, she began to write and made creative work her career. The holder of the fellowship is expected to reside at Bryn Mawr for some portion of the academic year, but will have no academic duties and may fill no requirements toward any academic degree. The award was open to citizens of the United States and the British Commonwealth. Established in 1949, it was first awarded to Eliza- beth Bishop in 1951, Mr. Saltonstall Talks on Peace And World War Massachusetts Senator Cites Expense Of Arms The problems faced by the new Administration and the steps it is taking to overcome the state of tension in the world today formed the emphasis of Senator Leverett Saltonstall’s speech at the Third Alliance Assembly for 1952-1953, on Friday, March 18, at 12:30 in Goodhart. Senator Saltonstall, Senior United States Senator from Mass- achusetts, listed two main causes for tension in the world today. The first is men’s inability to get along with one another, and the second, the spirit of nationalism which has arisen in countries such as Africa. Analyzing the sources of ten- sion for the American people, the Senator pointed out that the Ko- rean War, with its great monetary and human cost, has contributed greatly to our anxiety. The war has increased the feeling of in- security among young people, for their future plans must remain un- certain. Further sources of in- ternal tension in the United States have been discrimination and intol- erance. To relieve tension, we must take certain steps. First, we must realize that the United Nations was set up to maintain, and not to obtain_peace..__The_administra- tion, through Henry Cabot Lodge, the new representative to the U.N., is trying to make the U.N. success- ful until it is apparent that other nations are not willing to help themselves. The United States has Continued on Page 5, Col. 1 Senator Saltonstall Answers Query On Several Current Politics Issues Senator Leverett Saltonstall an- swered questions on political issues in a discussion group held in Rhoads on Friday. He also ex- plained some of the committees in| which he is taking part, their functions and their goals. The senator from Massachusetts gave his opinions on many poli- tical problems from Communist China to the St. Lawrence Water- way. He answered questions con- cerning the TVA, which he thinks was very helpful in solving the de- pression, and the Selective Serv- ‘| ice, which he thinks has a good and very essential system. In reply to another question, he remarked that President Eisenhower’s relations with his Congress are excellent, and will probably continue to be 80. When asked about the long fili- buster against which he has been working, he told a story about a debate on Chapmans Prayer. The debate had been going on for three weeks, when finally the senator who had made the motion stood up, dressed in a white tie and tails, and said, “I believe . . . (the mo- tion) is now understood by every- body and I withdraw it.” Senator Saltonstall was then -asked to explain the function and problems of some of the commit- tees to which he belongs. He ex- plained that the Armed Service Committee, of which he is the head, is mainly investigatory; as he had mentioned in his speech, the total cost of munitions was unbelievable. He is on the Ap- propriations Committee which en- tails his being a member of five sub-committees and the head of one. In this connection, his com- mittee covers the Atomic Bomb, the Veterans Administration, the ICC, and the FCC. When asked about the chances of there being a third world war, Senator Saltonstall said, “That de- pends on your generation.” He added that there is little danger if we “build up our military strength, build up our industrial strength, and keep up our moral courage.” Senator Saltonstall remarked that Bryn Mawr’s campus was one of the nicest he had ever seen in a college. He also said that some of the questions asked were among the most perceptive and intelligent he had heard!

Not in. Library? Nowhere to be seen. Class? Too late for classes. Hiding? Perhaps! To the utter despair of journalists on campus, Patsy Price, the new President of the Alliance simply was in the realm of the unfindable. We therefore, in the absence of the real live subject, print all available information, gathered from various and sundry sources (unrevealed). She is majoring in English, was recently named first Bryn Mawr student to receive the newly- established fund in Katharine Hep- burn’s name, and has a quiet but avid interest in the situation po- litical. Current Events, of which she has been in charge this year, has moved from the realm of the purely political—speakers have in- cluded scholars of Greek, philoso- phy, and psychology. Her future plans for the Alli- ance are unrevealed, but it is safe to predict that they will be both interesting and stimulating. But she is very hard to find—there she goes now, from Current Events probably to a rehearsal of “The Trojan Horse.” After that — the Alliance will occupy her time and ker thoughts to an even greater degree than it has this year, thus far. And that is saying something! Bryn Mawr Elects Common Treasurer Jessica Dragonette is a math major—a singularly appropriate interest for the newly-chosen Com- mon Treasurer of Bryn Mawr Col- lege. It is also notable that Jess belongs to the realm of the now- Under the Act of March 3, 1879 and American scholar to be awarded this honor. time of her retirement in 1952, Miss Taylor had been profes- Lily Ross Taylor _In recognition of her outstanding work in classical stud- ies, Lily Ross Taylor has been appointed a member of the Ro- man Pontifical Academy of Archaeology—the fourth woman Up to the sor of Latin at Bryn Mawr since 1927 and Dean of the Gradu- ate School of the College since 1942. A distinguished scholar and an authority on Roman civi- lization and literature, Miss Taylor is well-known both through her work in this country and abroad and through her publications. She received her A. B. from the Univer- sity of Wisconsin in 1906 and after further work—including some study abroad at the American. Academy in Rome— received her Ph. D. from Bryn Mawr in 1912. Since then her work in Classical Studies has brought honors and many new opportunities for service. During World War II Miss Taylor held the position of principal so- cial science analyst for the Office of Strategic Services. She accepted the post of Sather Professor of Classical Literature at the University of California for one semester in 1947, and two years ago received the honorary degree of Doctor of Lit- erature from the University of Wisconsin. Last year she re- ceived a Guggenheim Fellowship and is now acting as Profes- sor in charge of Classical Studies at the American Academy in Rome. Largely—but not exclusively—devoted to Christian ar- chaeology, the Academy is a papal archaeological society at- tached to the Vatican. It consists of forty distinguished Italian archaeologists and seventy-eight foreign correspond- Ing members—among them Dr. Rhys Carpenter of Bryn Mawr. Now at home and abroad Miss Taylor is ranked with the deans of historians. Retirement has not ceased her activi- _ fies but rather increased her interests. Today she is contin- to learn and to teach—now at the American Academy you-see-’em-now-you-don’t — the Non Reses, who c inly have made their mark on the campus. Jess succeeds Cynthia Wyeth who is also Non Res, and is president of that group for the next term of office. But that is another story -— Jessica learned of the election be- fore her Verse Composition class, and is to be excused if not too at- tentive during same. After all, monetary affairs are not entirely compatible with verse, and Jess theoretically will be one of the wealthiest women on campus. What is it like to Non-Res? “Well, not as remote as you might think — after all, we are here a good bit of the time!” She retains discreet silence in the face of the inevitable razzing about All That Money—perhaps this is the place for the poet rather than the math major. But if a happy face and pink camelias are her signs of of- fice, the college has little to worry about. Book Room Shows Auden Manuscripts Original manuscripts and first editions of W. H. Auden’s works are on display in the Rare Book Room of the Library. This exhibit includes manuscript notes for The Double Man, the poet’s notebooks, and Thornton Wilder’s commentar- ies on Auden. Mr. Auden, born in England in 1907, was educated at Oxford and is now a citizen of the United States. His works include The Double Man and The Age of Anx- iety, which won a Pulitzer Prize. Among the first editions exhib- ited are autographed copies, Eng- lish editions, and one of a limited edition privately owned by Miss Caroline Newton, Class of 1914. Miss Newton, a friend of W. H. Auden’s and a member of the Rare Book Committee, has lent the Li- Molly A. Plunkett Heads the League “I know - - - the first thing that you'll want to know is what my first reaction was!” cried Molly Plunkett, newly-elected President of the Bryn Mawr League. “What would you say if I told you that I screamed?” She did not, of course, but the reply-before-the-question was a most effective squelch. “I hope that this will be a good year for the League, and that we’ll be able to put several projects into operation—that will sound vague on paper, but we’ll just work away, and let the college see the results!” The Bryn Mawr Summer Camp has been one of Molly’s chief inter- ests, as has ‘Weekend Work Camp. She recently has begun to work at the Child Study Institute—‘I don’t know who learns more”—and may ibe found almost any day of the week engrossed in the life and work of the three-year-old. Molly is a member of Chorus, and is co-chairman of that grow- ing Bryn Mawr institution, the Li-} brary Council. League activities are somehow a part of her daily living, however—they fall almost out of the range of* extra-curricu- lar. A most appropriate scheme of things for this new president. Bobbie Olsen Wins As A.A. President “Tt must have been the sweetest- smelling laboratory period ever spent at Park,” stated Bobbie Ol- sen, recalling the setting of her discovery that. she had become the new Athletic Association Presi- dent. “I was so nervous when I saw the flowers that I hardly knew what I was experimenting with. All Emmy and I could say to each other was “Congratulations ... thank you... ” etc. “All the chemical reactions came _ out wrong.” So to lessen the danger of an explosion because of her ex- citement, Bobbie treated her lab- mates to tea. Park, and an organic chemistry class, was the appropriate place for her to learn of her election, for her great interest in the Athletic Association is surpassed only by her enthusiasm about her goal: to become a doctor. To attain this ambition she is majoring in bi- ology. Most of Bobbie’s summers have been spent at summer school or traveling. Her traveling has been extensive; actually she is away from home a good part of the time because she lives at quite a dis- tance from Bryn Mawr — the Philippines. “Dra Mu” Presents Opera and Dances “A Musical Melange” is the pre- sentation of the Dra Mu Opera Company on Wednesday, March 25, at 8:30 in Goodhart Hall. The production will feature the Dra Mu Chorus with its operatic prin- cipals and the John Hines Com- ‘pany in ethnic and modern dances. Prayer from “Cavalleria Rusti- cana,” three selections by Verdi (as sung by Eloise Owens) and Rossini”’s Largo (sung by George Dorsey) will be the featured selec- tions. The Opera Company is ‘com- posed of a group of Negro non- professional working people and a few professional singers. During the year they devote one night a week to rehearsal, presenting an opera in the fall at the Academy of Music. This year their produc- tion was an English translation of Samson and Delilah, strikingly performed and costumed. Tickets are $1.20 each and may be obtained on campus from Eliza- beth Jones, Mrs. Louise Jones and Mrs. James Ashe. Current Events Mr. J. Adams Reveals Authoritarianism, Democracy AUTHORITARIANISM AND DEMOCRACY, or “the concept of the authoritarian personality in re- lation to those aspects of a society which make possible the develop- ment of the productive self-realiz- ing potentialities of the individual as long as that expression does not fairly directly interfere with the rexpression of others”—this was the topic of the Current Events lecture on Monday evening, March 18. Dr. Joe Kennedy Adams, As- sistant Professor of Bryn Mawr’s Psychology Department, gave the address. “The concept of the authoritar- ian personality is not an isolated concept but an integral part of much of psychoanalytic theory.” It is rarely a set of concepts and hy- potheses which grew out of this theory. Historical Development Dr. Adams traced the historical development of this authoritarian theory from its origin in the de- velopment of Fascism in Germany and Italy and the failure of Com- munism in Soviet Russia to fulfill its promises such as “the withering away of the state and a develop- ment of individual freedom.” The principal exponents of the theory were Erich Fromm who stressed as the underlying causes an “unbearable aloneness” and an escape from insecurity, and Wil- helm Reich who emphasized the ir- fluence of a child’s interpretation of his parents’ discipline as that of “arbitrary giants”. Too Much Pressure ‘When too much pressure from repressions is exerted, various er- uptions of the stratified personal. ity occur. The personality struc- ture, instead of being “similar to a regular onion, becomes more like that of a freak artichoke”. Nine characteristic eruptions occur al- most simultaneously: 1) Authoritarian Submission — the uncritical submission towards idealized mora] authorities; 2) Rigid Conventionality—‘rigid adherence to conventionalized val- ues”; 4) Authoritarian Projectivity— the perception of “wild and danger- ous events” in the world corres- ponding to inexplicable thoughts in the individual’s mind; 5) Exaggerated Sexual Con- cern—Aggression and Projectivity are especially evidenced in anxiety over sexual misbehaviors; 6) Anti-Intraception—the rejec- tion of anything subjective, imag- inative, and psychological; 7) Supernaturalism—the belief in “mystical determinants of the individual’s fate’ due to lack of connection with the dominating factors in hig own life; 8) Power Complex—the super concern with stable relations and the categorizing of relations in terms of “dominant-recessive” etc.; 9) General iAggression — the agreement with cliches degrading humanity. In conclusion Dr. Adams said: “There is no economic selution alone. The real solution is in the rearing of children not by repres- sion of impulses but by assuring their understanding of principles.” The first Varsity Tennis Prac- tice will be on Saturday, March 21, from 10:00 until 12:00.

Because Malenkov is unsteady, Rus- sia will have fewer ties with her satellites, he explained. However, the total defensqa strength of the United States must be kept at a maximum. Equally important, the government must not submit to war fright, but must at all times allow citizens to remain “their " true selves.” “Trade not Aid?” was the ques- tion asked of panel members J. William Fulbright, Arkansas Sen- ator, Lord Rochdale, _ Britain’s Vice-President of the National Union of Manufacturers, and H. Christian Sonne, President of the National Planning Association, by Moderator Lewis Galantiere, Pol- icy Adviser of Radio Free Europe. Sonne advocated a combination of liberal trade regulations and aid, for investments abroad are help- ful both to the investor and to the country invested in. If there is enough trade, he agreed, there is more chance that the government will be repaid. Britain wants to pay her way, put in Lord Rochdale. Free com- petition should not only mean free competition within the United States, but with England too, he added. Liberalizéd trade regula- tions would help Britain to in- crease production and selling of raw materials. Senator Fulbright did not ap- prove of aid. “There is no way to- keep up a balance of trade -f you do not first achieve the bal- ance to keep up,” he - asserted. Only trade (not too liberalized) will do this, and cértainly not aid. All three men agreed that the perfect set-up would be achieved when and if all countries of the world had free and lateral trade, which would balance itself. | We are all inter-dependent, for poverty anywhere endangers pros- perity everywhere, began H. E. Observer With the approach of new grass and crocus (or is it croci?) down by the gym and earlier sunrises there’s a new spirit in the air. The atmosphere itself is tinged with the essence (soon to be the exist- ence) of Spring. Mid-semesters are as hard as ever, but less to be fearfully anticipated, and Satur- day afternoons are more pleasant- ly awaited. This is the time when to all in- tents and purposes the academic year begins anew. Organizations all over campus have new heads and new committees. Throughout college society the impetus of fresh beginnings are being felt and taken advantage of. The student is lucky to have so many chances of beginning again. Especially in September, January, and the Spring these opportunities are recognized. Perhaps there are also possibilities—too seldom ap- preciated—of starting with a clean slate from week to week and from day to day.

While there is poverty and op- nut be political freedom, and ex- pression of thought is at a mini- mum.

The United States representa- tive to the United Nations Com- mission on Human Rights, Mrs. Oswald B.

In many coun- tries the people have been train- ed to aid themselves in farming and industry with their own tools. In one area of Greece, for ex- ample, an abundant potato crop was rotting because the people had no way to transport the produce over poor roads.

Rally to Recreation The Department of Physical Ed- ucation is again offering a short course in Recreational Activities. The course is designed primarily to give students who plan to work with children in camps or day nurseries some practiéal experi- ence and reference materials in elementary games, children’s folk and singing games, handcraft, and group singing. There are also plans for a group “cook out” to provide experience in practical problems of outdoor cooking. The dates for the course are Monday through Thursday, April 13-16. Interested students have a choice of two times: in the after- noon from 4:15 to 6:15 or in the evening from 7:30 to 9:30 (except on Thursday). If you are inter- ested, register in the gym before March 285. Mrs. Edith Quimby To Deliver Lecture Mrs. Edith Quimby, associate professor at Columbia University Colleges of Physicians and Sur- geons, will address the Science Club on Wednesday evening at 8:30 in Dalton Hall on the sub- ject of “Medical Uses of Radio- isotopes.” Mrs. Quimby received her Bach- elor of Science degree from Whit- man College, where she also holds an honorary degree of Doctor of Science. She was an assistant phy- sicist at Memorial Hospital in New York and an assistant professor cf Radiological Physics at Cornell Medical College before becoming attached to Columbia. Among the many distinctions she has received for her work, Mrs. Quimby holds tthe Janeway Medal from the American Radium Society, the Medal for Achievement and the Radium Society North America Gold Medal. A list of her most valuable con- tributions to the scientific world includes work with standardization of X-ray and radium dosages and study of the biological effects of radiation and the application of X-rays, radium and radioactive isotopes to medicine. LAS! NIGHTERS' Newest Williams Play, ‘Camino Real,” Has Value especially contributed by Gwen Davis, 54 The lights go out suddenly; the audience emits a startled murmur, tor they are accustomed to having une lights dim. And so the play goes. With a series of surprising ettects, brilliant characters, and vivid words, Tennessee Williams in “Camino Real” has created a unique and challenging play. “What is this place; where are we?” the characters ask, and no- body knows. The Camino Real is a road that used to be royal. But the name of this Camino, says the Baron, is not unreal. Characters The characters range from Casa- nova, Mile. Gautier, and Byron, to a gypsy, her daughter Esmerelda, and Kilroy, the American boxer, who used to be welter-weight champion of the West Coast, fallen out of favor and luck, doomed be- cause he has a heart as big as the head of a baby. No one knows how or why he is there: the only thing all have in common is des- peration, with cash at the expen- sive hotel on one side of the plaza, without it on the other. All are afraid: some are conscious of their fear; some want to escape; some are afraid of losing even the se- curity of their desperation. Death, in the guise of the street-cleaners, is always waiting for them.- The only apparent means of escape is the terrifying terra incognita be- yond the arch. There are familiar elements of many poetic philosophies in this play: the seeming futility of ro- manticism in a realistic world; the need for sensual satisfaction and the shame that follows it; and the hope that is offered for escape by those who: are quixotic and cour- ageous beneath their cloak of romantic folly. Theatrical Effects What could easily appear as a melange of confused vignettes has been tautly and brilliantly staged by Elia Kazan, who has utilized a great many theatrical effects without sacrificing the poetry. The set, complicated and imposing, has been admirably designed by Lem- uel Ayers. Not the least of the so-called incidental touches of the production is the music by Ber- nardo Segall; it is indispensable to the mood-setting, subtly but in- geniously attuned to its charac- ters, and alternately eerie and fiery in the subsequent scenes of the play. Outstanding in a cast of almost impeccable excellence is Eli Wallach in the role of Kilroy. There will be a great deal of controversy over the meaning of Tennessee Williams’ new play. It is a search for value, a masque, a procession of symbolic and legen- dary characters; it is whatever the individual wants or néeds it to be. There can be no disputing that it is a powerful, exciting, and worth- while experience in the theatre. The Sophomore Carnival, the Junior Prom, and of course, The Maids’ and Porters’ production of “A Connecticut Yankee” will highlight one gala weekend of April 17 and 18. .Ellie Fry, the chairman of the Prom, has her committee busily working, even at this early date, and hints of a mediaeval theme for the dance —most unusual, but quite ap- propriate in view of the above mentioned production.

Walter L. Cronkite, Jr., acted as moderator for a panel discussion on CONGRESSLONAL INVESTI- GATIONS: SAFEGUARD OR ‘THREAT ‘}O0 FREEDOM. Through- out the discussion Roger N. Bald- win insisted that the Investiga- tions Committee has “gone far aneld” in its work. He cited as an example the recent statement Sports by Lynn Badler, ’56 Varsity and inter-class games highlighted this week’s sports events as the winter season draws to a conclusion. The varsity and junior games were in swimming, badminton, and basketball. The inter-class meets were in swim- ming and badminton. On March 11, Chestnut Hill de- feated Bryn Mawr’s first and sec- ond teams by 37-20 and 33-20, Ann Lebo and Glenna Vare came in first and second for the back crawl, however, and Peggy King placed second in the breast-stroke. In diving Glenna Vare placed third for the varsity. For the junior varsity, Polly Oatfield placed sec- ond in the free-style and Nancy Tepper second in the back crawl; the free-style relay team won. Also for the junior varsity Pat McEl- roy placed third in diving. ; Badminton The winning streak of the bad- minton varsity ended in a heart- breaking set of matches held at Swarthmore on March 10th. The final score was 3-2, with Judy Mc- Culloch scoring the only singles win and the doubles team of Mari- lyn Muir-Beth Davis, the doubles victory. The junior varsity won their match 3-2. Phil Tilson won a very close contest in the singles matches and Charlotte Smith was another singles winner. Candy Bolster and Barbara Bornemann combined to make a_ winning doubles team. Swarthmore was victorious over Bryn Mawr’s basketball varsity in a game on Wednesday. At the end of the first half the score was fairly close, 20-18, but then the Swarthmore team began pulling away and the final score was AT- 31. Bea Merrick skilfully scored 18 points in spite of the excellent Swarthmore guards. Bryn Mawr’s junior varsity won their game 56- 30, as again the main scoring was done in the second half., Both Sally Kennedy and Pauline Smith deserve special note as they scor- ed 26 and 22 points respectively. The swimming inter-class meets were held last week, and in a very exciting finish the Freshmen near- ly, but not quite, overtook the Seniors. The winners, contest by Continued on Page 4.

Mitchell, Chairman of the Democratic National Com- mittee, who proposed that a home- town board of judges be organized to examine the fitness of congres- sional investigators. Congressman Hugh D. Scott, Jr., and Senator Homer Ferguson also took part in the discussion. Participants in a second panel, HOW MUCH FREEDOM FOR FREE ENTERPRISE, were Homer E. Capehart, James B. Carey, and Edward R. Dunning. Carey con- tended: “Twenty years ago Private Enterprise was dead. Now, after twenty years of the government building dams, Private Enterprise takes over again’. Private Enter- prise is the usurper of the govern- ment, of the unions, of the people. Senator Capehart responded that Private Enterprise is the back- bone of the American system of government. “In the last hundred years leaders have been killing the goose that lays the golden egg— not by legislation, but by attitude.” Pennsylvania Senator James H. Duff spoke on A STRONG ECON- OMY AND A STRONG DE- FENSE. “The death of Stalin is no help to peace.’”’. The American people are so well disposed towards other people that “it is difficult to imagine that we could be attacked without warning”. However, “Our cities are in range of bombers”. As a result of last fall’s investiga- tions in the South Pacific, scien- tists found it possible to make one bomb that would destroy by per- cussion 300 square miles and by fire 1200 square miles. We must accelerate our national defense. “"“ he time is short and the danger is ever present.” Joseph S. Clark, Jr., ‘in THE URBAN CHALLENGE TO DE- MOCRACY, _ presented problems facing city government. We must find some way to get honest lead- ers in office, and still have them be able to pay their grocery bills. “Our democracy can succeed only if its leaders accept the practical truth that the end NEVER justi- fies the means.” “The romance of empty acres turned into living homes of fam- ilies is like magic” — William J.

The people took to the idea energetically, the roads were built, and so Greece was aided at almost no cost to the United States. Some people say that the Unitea Nations should only concentrate on the political problem or the social problem, added Mrs. Lord, but one cannot be approached without the other: social and eco- nomic misfortune are factors in political indifference or discon- tent. Reason is the basis of law, 1- sisted Missouri Senator Stuart Symington. It is only truth that will keep us free. When people are told facts so that they under- stand all sides of an issue, they will respond agreeably. As far as war spending is concerned, Senator Symington feels that if the people are told frankly how much is need- ed and for what, they will not pro- test the added burden so vigor- ously. Ps Spirited Panel A spirited panel on the alterna- tives in Asia was led by news com- mentator kiverett R. Holles. For- eign correspondent Marguerite Higgins vehemently advocated all- out war in Korea, asserting that the present set-up was weakening us and not gaining anything. it the United States used all its wea- pons (including tne atom bomb) we could win tne batte within a tairly short amount of time, she reasoned. William Dickenson, Jr., Chief of the Bulletin’s Washington Bureau, argued that such action in Korea would not win the cold war. For, he said, who can say that Korea is the place that the war will be won? Discussions Concluded Washington columnist Stewart Alsop concluded the discussion with the comment that the policy in Asia had already been decided— at least for the present. The United States troops in Korea have begun to be diminished in favor of Korean troops, he ex- plained. The idea of atomic war- fare has been ruled out. The final speaker, General Lord Ismay, is Secretary General of NATO. He spoke about the grow- ing strength of the North Atlantic community and talked with pride of the accomplishments of NATO. He pointed out that the North At- lantic Treaty had not broken the United Nations charter since it is simply a pact to increase the se- curity of nations. Kenneth M. Setton Tells of Mediaeval Athens: ‘Debased Subject’ Includes Coins and a Donkey | Continued from Page 1 ological finds in determining Athenian history, Mr. Setton re- lated the following and many other events. What the historian called “a donkey in distress” was discovered by one archaeologist. On the foundation of what had been the kitchen of an old and elegant house were a donkey’s bones. Knowing that the home was destroyed at the time of the Herulean attack on Athens, the archaeologists reconstructed the scene, Apparently the animal had just arrived bringing vegetables from the country place when the alarm sounded. Concealed at first in the kitchen from plundering soldiers, the animal was forgotten as the inhabitants realized the deadly seriousness of the attack and fled to the supposedly safer shelter of the Acropolis. There are interesting limits to Commission Issues Deadline for Jobs March 13 will be the final day to submit State Civil Service Com- mission applications for a series of jobs in the State Welfare Depart- ment. This reminder was issued at Har- risburg recently by Howell M. Becht, SCSC Executive Director. He explained that oral interviews for the jobs would be conducted at five cities on April 11. Jobs are: physical restoration and case work supervisor, $5136 to $5718 a year; district supervisor (senior rehabilitation counselor), $4596 to $5136; business enterprises counselor and rehabilitation coun- selor, both $3870 to $4596. Becht said interviews will be conducted at Altoona, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Wilkes-Barre and Pittsburgh. In addition to. inter- views, education and experience of applicants will be rated by the Commission. No written test will be held in connection with this program. Applications may be obtained from the State Civil Service Com- mission in Harrisburg, state and county offices of the Department of Public Assistance, Pennsylvania State Employment Service local of- fices, the state. office and state stores of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, and offices of the Rehabilitation Section of the Pennsylvania Council for the Blind.

The great problem facing big cities is the mi- gration of inhabitants from the cen- tral city to suburbs. “If we don’t do something about this flight to the suburbs there will be no way to run utilities”, said Mayor Clark. But a very subtle thing is happen- ing—the suburbs cannot support their high expenses. “The future of the city depends upon people taking the right attitude towards the removal of our problem”, said Paul Wiener, City Planner of the Town Planning Associates.

He gives a sermon against what he regards as the excesses of poetry, stating that it is incom- patible with education, instruction, and morality of men. That Plato does not see the psychological and epistemological aspects of the word “‘mimetic” as separate, is the result of the stresses of cultural change. The shift from oral to written com- munication was at its height in Plato’s day; widespread literacy was just being reached as Plato was growing up, and the acoustic technology was still being exploit- ed. Plato, therefore, was attack- ing the acoustic state of mind, seeking to supplant it by the new visual state. The acoustic poet had to worry about attracting and holding an audience to make his works live; his fundamental-sefv- ice to society was often neglected.

It has recognized that the United States must build up its own se- curity adequately and efficiently. This need is vitally connected with efficiency and economy within the government, for armament costs are unbelievably high compared with World War II costs, and the tax rate is already the highest in U.S. history. Defense Secretary ilson and his department are able and efficient, well-qualified to effect economies, The second step pertains to our responsibility for leadership in foreign relations, for every nation outside the Communist sphere looks to the United States for guidance. Secretary of State Dulles’ more aggressive policy to- wards Russia is a step towards taking over leadership in psycho- logical advancement, and Lodge is providing positive leadership in the U.N. The first step towards the solu- tion of our internal problems has been taken in the change of lead- ership, and, given cohdence, the e Senator stated, the Y Admin- istration can use its leader- ship to bring new efficiency and elimination of corruption and Communism. The Administration’s eval is peace and security, but it must not try to go forward too rapidly. Once the goal is obtained, each of us will have the right to go ahead and live our lives in the way .we think best. With this thought, said Senator Saltonstall, the ma- jority of the people in Congress and President Eisenhower are working. With the backing of the people of the United States, and the young people in particular, the goal can be reached.
