" The middle of the Odyssey, which’

deals with the overthrow of Pene-
lope’s suitors, falls below the qual-
ity of the rest of the poem, said
Mr. Denys Page in Monday night’s

_ lecture. Unusually careful prepa-
»Yation was made bythe poet for
this_part_of the_story..He arouses

many expectations, which, however,
are not fulfilled.

Certain problems and contradic-
tions in the context of the poem
lead one to believe that the Odys-
sey is the work of several differ-

—»-.ent men and was composed at dif-

ferent time. The first problem is
the introduction of the totally new
character Theoclemenus, who is
given a 32 line introduction, indi-
cating that he is to play an import-
ant part in the remainder of the
poem, This expectation is not ful-
filled, however, &s he plays.a minor
role and soon disappears complete-

Selections Of Novel And Traditional
Spirituals Highlight Recent Concert

especially contributed
by Lois E. Glantz, ’56

Goodhart, Feb. 26—One of the
most enjoyable events of the~year
was the Concert of American
Negro Spirituals, presented by the
maids and porters. It is hard to
decide who deserves the greatest
praise; the always inspired_and
rich-sounding chorus, the lovely
solo. voices, or the hard-working
and constantly alert directors. The
program was one of really good
folk music and wonderful fun.

Among the most successful num-
bers-of_the-evening were the _spir-
ituals sung by the whole chorus
with incidental solos, such as “In
That Great Getting-Up Morning”
with Dorothy Backus as soloist,
“Get On Board Little « Children”
with Mary Parsons, soloist, “Joshua

Fit the Battle, of Jericho”, Louis’
White, soloist,, and an extremely |/

spirited rendition of “Let Us Cheer

the Weary Traveller”, with Dor-/

othy Backus and Evalin Johnson;
soloists.

Soloists Excel

The haunting quality of the
Negro. spirituals was heard in “I
Couldn’t’ Hear Nobody Pray”;
Esther Lesley was the very effec-
tive soloist. ‘Were You There
When They Crucified My Lord”, as
sung by Dorothy Backus and
Louise Lones, was in the same,
mere serious mood.
sur solo songs gave the
audience a nce to hear some
amazingly full “and big voices.

In: interviewing Ann Fosnocht,

dent, we discovered that she came

to Bryn Mawr as a Sophomore |

Rochester. Ann lived in Denbigh

semester of this, her junior year.

Between semesters she became a
non-res, commuting from her home
in Malvern, 15 miles-from here.
When asked if she would return to
residence next year, Ann said, “I’m
tempted and I’m considering it, but
I’m not sure yet.”

Ann has never served on the
Self-Gov Board but has hada good
deal of experience in allied fields.
She said, “I am very eager to learn
more about- the workings of the
Board in the next few weeks.” She
will take office after spring va-
. cation. Regarding future plans she
* told us, “I’m getting married when
I graduate, ” and we noticed the
didamond she was, wearing.

 

An English major, Ann had been
reading Gertrude Stein in the
Reading Room Monday afternoon
when Anne Eristoff, -this year’s
Self-Gov president, told her the re-
sults of the election and presented
her with a corsage of yellow. roses.

English Schism
With Catholics

Separation From Rome
Political and Not
Theological
There are few subjects on which
itis harder to make difinitive
judgment than the Reformation,
for the problems which perplexed
men then are live issues. today.
Some people still think that the
separation from Rome condemned
England to the eternal bonfire,
said Dr. Conyers Read, Professor
Emeritus of History at the Uni- ©
versity of Pennsylvania. Dr. Read
discussed the Break from Rome
during the Mallory Whiting Web-
ster Memorial Lecture in History
on Tuesday. 3
The Reformation of the 16th
century was political rather than _
theological and. was concerned
with government of the church and
not with its dogma. It was a pro-
test against the old church and
the Pope rather than against a
creed. Anti-Roman and not anti-
Catholic, Henry VIII, the man.who
was most responsible for the break,
had been the “Defender of the
Faith” and protector of the church

against Luther.

In the 16th century the members
of the clergy were omnipresent in
secular as well as religious life.
They advised the King, were im-
portant in Parliament and on low-
er levels the parish, the lowest unit
of church jurisdiction, with its
church officials, became the work-

The Paternalists®

We want to go on record about not/liking paternalism.
We don’t think it belongs here at Bryn Mawr, or any place
else. It is a product of consideration, kindness, ignorance
and insensitivity. It is insulting, hard on human dignity and
enervating; for, if accepted, it saps the initiative and self-
respect of the person whom it intends to benefit. But it
sometimes exists here, in our relationship with the maids
and porters.

It’s supposed to be unnecessary to say that they are
adult human beings, worthy of praise or censure on their
individual nierits, capable of wisdom or folly, entitled to the
same treatment as our acquaintances receive. The differ-
ence in their status is a difference of occupation and a vary-
Individually, we probably all
believe that every man has these rights, yet, with every
good intention, we have often denied them. :

gestures, unpremediated, exact. It is the tolerant smile, the
hidden grimace; the engagement in conversation for the sake
of the social gesture. It is the difference between “Mary’s
nice,” and “Mary’s such a dear!” ; between “Mary is incom-
petent,” and “Oh well! Mary!” the inference being that we
musn’t expect too much of her. When we judge-a maid by
a lower standard than we would any other acquaintance: we

Systems

dates, we feel this is the time to
examine the nominating~ system.
The nominating system’s function
is hot. only to acquaint the voters
with the candidates, but also to do
justice to the candidate.

The first point is: There are not
enough people interviewed. Thus
the opinions set down in the report

field of the candidates’ activities.
This could be remedied by inter-
viewing more people of the candi-
date’s choice who -have worked
with her.

Point number two is that there
are not enough girls on the Nomi-
nating Committee to do a really
comprehensive and efficient job, of
interviewing girls and writing up
reports: This situation could be alle-
viated by having more representa-
tives from each class in each hall..

Another thing which could amel-
iorate the job of the girls on the
Nominating Committee is to have
a list submitted by each organiza-
tion. The organization, in toto, not
merely its presidtion. might indi-
cate its preference among the can-
didates. This would not only help
the girls on the Nominating Com-
mittee, it would help the voters
as well.

The write-up avant is also in
line for re-organization. Great
stress and care should be exercised
in writing up a candidate, There is
a definite tendency to vote nega-
tively; that is, to vote for your
first choice according to preference
and vote for the others according
to the adverse criticisms set down
in the report. Glossing over and
toning down any bad points will

| not do away with this practice.

Certain girls have to be inter-
viewed. Is this wise? If a member
of the Nominating Committee feels
that a girl interviewed did not
know the candidate well, and con-
sequently presented a view dia-
metrically opposite to the: views
expressed by the others inter-
viewed, there should be some
arrangement made for clarifying
the question before the final report
is made out. It is not fair to damn
a candidate by the inclusion of a
questionable statement based on
the views of someone who may not

oneself a man is more fundamental
than to think”, said Unamuno. Mr.
Alcala, in his Current Events Lee-
ture, stressed this aspect of the
Spaniard’s character in dealing
with the/political, economic and
cultural patterns of “Spain in the
World Today”.

Although Spain is a dlatatocéhte,
it is unique. The Spanish. people
have'a feeling for democracy since
they have such. great regard for
the dignity of man. Yet they are
not ready for a democratic regime
‘because “each Spaniard considers
himself a king” and it is difficult
to arouse a feeling of responsibil-
ity for the community.’

Censorship is somewhat. peculiar.

'It governs books, films, and news-

papers, but does so neither logical-

Franco’s position is strength-

and the pact. between the two na-
tions, since he assumes that the
United: States backs his domestic
and international policies. This
same pact is a source of disap-
pointment to Spanish Republicans
who are surprised at the “land of
liberty”. Falangists, the party
which put Franco into power, feel
that America has at last seen that
their way is “the right one’’.

 

Economically Poor

Economically, Spain is a very
poor country. Wages are low, but
somehow, almost everyone is cheer-
ful and makes ends meet. People
go to bullfights and the movies,
and seem to dress rather well.

There is a shortage of electric
power resultant from the poor
rainfall of the past years. \ Often,
during the summer, there ay be
as many as five days per week in
which there is no electric current.

Library Council —
~ Fetes Assistants

A meeting of the Library Coun-
cil and. student librarians was held
in the west wing on Wednesday,
February 24. The purpose of the

ee meeting was. to try to establish a

better relationship between stu-
dents: and the Library.

Phyllis Tilson, chairman of the
Library Council, pointed out that
the: questionnaires distributed to
the students about a month ago
concerning library rules and re-
_sponsibilities revealed that the stu-
dents are not familiar with the li-

brary rules, especially those of the;

Reserve Room. Students are en-

‘couraged to ask questions of the’

assistants when they are unsure
about anything, no matter how
minor it may seem.

Two changes of policy have been
established in the Reserve Room
recently. The first regards taking
books out overnight for someone
else; the rule now states that the
student should sign her own name
and the name of the girl for whom
she is taking the book.

The second change has been
made within the past week. There
will be limited reserve room fines
against non-resident students since
they are unable to go home for a
late book.. The Council hopes this
rule will not be abused. -

These two changes were made
as a result of student and librarian
suggestions. Another suggestion
is being considered which would
involve ‘sending over-due notices
for regular books once a month.
Students are encouraged to make

participant tip-toed because, “you
have to hold it careful so it doesn’t

Do Impersonations

The older group spent more time
on technique, doing many stretches,
contractions and extensions. ‘The
exercises were accompanied by

groans and grunts, and the instruc- |

tor’s diligence in making sure that
backs and ‘knees were straight
caused a few tongues to hang out.

After some running and leaping]

each child walked across the floor
in the manner of a special char-
acter. The impersonations included
Sad Sack, Cinderella, a gorilla and
Little Miss “Muffin”.

To-end-the morning a stgry from
the “Jungle Book” was told and
the children danced it out. There
was much snarling and growling
as the fierce beasts ‘stalked
through the jungle.

Members Participating

The dance classes were organized
by Mrs;“Dudden. Members of the
Dance Club who are teaching are
Dina Bikerman, Evelyn Boverman,

Collecting money, writing checks

see Jess scurrying up Morris Ave-

Regardless of her last... minute
deposits, Jess’s warm nature seems
to have conquered the bank dig-

nice about straightening out all my
stupid mistakes that every ‘time I
come out I feel strictly pro-capital-

Jess emphatically stated that the

She added that .a sincere interest] .

| Opposing Factions

Divide the College

: by Donnie Brown, "67

The college campus, particularly
the Eastern one, is divided into
two factions: Those that are col-
legiate and those that are? not.
This involves a difference in
clothes, attitude and expression.
Standard expressions that have a
tendency to be run into the ground
are sure indications of the col-
legiate character.

They run the gamut from “shoe”
and “hairy” to “crumped” and
“flick out” and generally can be
and are applied to all situations.
If one is really “shoe”, one culti-
vates an expression. But if some-
one has the temerity to suggest
that “collegiate” expressions might
be classed with the slang used by
the high school teen age crowd, he
is regarded with distaste.

The collegiate era, in a way a
revival of the: twenties, has-infect-
ed the campuses of the country.
Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Smith,

a

4 Vassar and Bryn Mawr, all have

people who wince when they hear
“collegiate” or. grin beatifically.
Those who cultivate the Joe Col-
lege attitude, consciously or un-
consciously,’ feel that this is the
only way to live for four years.
Khaki bermuda shorts, regimen-
talism, grey flannels and the other

giate guy. Khaki bermuda shorts,
Capezios, madras belts and Anne
Fogarty dresses are the passwords
of the female faction.

Wearing any or all of these does
not necessarily attach the stigma,
so to speak, of being collegiate to
anyone. It’s just that people who
fancy themselves collegiate are
rarely seen in anything else.

Part of going to college is being

collegiate and acting like a regi-
mental guided Joe College when
the occasion demands. The prob-
lem is deciding when driving an
MG-with no top in mid-winter is
collegiate and when it is conducive
to frost bite and ridicule.Col-
legiateness is a disease beneficial
in small doses—it .vaccinates you
against the Fitzgerald frenzy.

We like being collegiate. That’s
what we’re going to go on being,
taking ourselves with a grain of
salt, as it were, and hoping our
audience will too.

clothes cliches identify the colle- |;

In his preface to Problems in,
Freedom, Mr. Peter Bachrach men-
tions the “prevalent anxiety over
civil- liberties in America”, That
there is such an anxiety is evi-
denced in our daily newspapers,
radio, and télevision, as well as in
our own private discussions. Sen-

McCarthy are praised and con-

Likewise, the Federal Loyalty Pro-
gram is subjected to vehement ap-
probation and disapprobation. “The

“The FBI and . Wiretapping”,
“Race Discrimination and the Con-
stitution”—these are only a few of
the problems which are the spe-
cific causes for anxiety over civil
liberties in America today, and as
such, are topics of discussion in
Mr. Bachrach’s book.

Such discussions, moreover, con-
sider the philosophy of law. In-
deed they maybring to the fore
the question of why there is, a
State at all. In subsequent articles
we shall see more of these prob-
lems and the concepts involved.
But as for the present, in treating
“The Problem of Reconciling Au-
thority and Freedom”, let us keep
ind Mr. Bachrach’s purpose in
writing Problems in Freedom. He
states in the preface that “this
volume is designed to lead the stu-
dent to a meaningful grasp of each
issue involved, and to train_his
powers of identification and an-
alysis with reference to the prem-
ises underlying the major conflicts
in the field of civil rights”

First Problem
Freedom of speech is the core of

discusses in the first chapter. He
cites the “clear and present
danger” doctrine. as the. term of
approach, or at least as the point
of departure, in “an attempt’ to
reconcile authority and freedom”
in America today. This doctrine,
applied to the First Amendment
and set forth by the late Justice
Oliver Holmes in the Schenck vs
United States decision (249 U.S.
47; 1919) states that “the question

 

in every case is whether the words.

are used in such circumstances, and
are, of such a nature as to create. a
clear and present danger that they
will bring about the substantive
evils that Congress has a. right, to
prevent”.

We see, then, that this ‘Holmes-
ian interpretation holds that free-
dom of speech is not an absolute.
Accepted by the Supreme ‘Court in
1937 as “a standard to deter:
the validity of ‘the application,
a statute to a given situation”,
clear and present danger | Woetdine
has since been written into acts ‘of
Congress, e. g. the Smith Act, and
the Internal Security Act, of 1950.

If we inquire into the provisions.

of the law regarding freedom ..of
speech we find that Article I of, the
Bill of Rights, states that, .‘{Con-
gress shall make no law, respect-.
ing an establishment of, neligion,
or prohibiting the free exercise

thereof; or abridging the freedom —

of speech, or of the press; or the
right of. the people peaceably. a
assemble and to petition :the- gov-
ernment for a redone of pa
ances”, "

Thus we wind assume that pay
act which, for example, makeg)it
unlawful for a person “to, knaw-
ingly or willfully abet, advise ior
teach the duty, necessity, :desir-
ability or propriety of overthrow-
ing or destroying any government
in the United States. by force or
violence, or by the assassination of
any officer of such government”, is
unconstitutional on the grounds
that it abridges the freedoms’ of
speech.

_ And yet, the preceding saovilion
is taken from the Smith Act; -of-

ficially known as the Alien Regis-

tration Act, passed by the Con-
gress in 1940. Assuming further
that Congress would not pass an
act which is unconstitutional we
shall have to search for a possible
justification of this act. 65

Professor Meiklejohn (Free

Speech and its Relation to Self- |

Government) points out that there
are two different references -to lib-
erty in the First and Fifth Amend-
ments and that the clause of the
latter stating that no person may
be “deprived of. life, liberty, or
property, without due process of
law” has been construed to mean
“liberty of speech” as well: ag. any

other liberty. Thus we see that

there is a “freedom of speech’’'pro-

vided for in the First. Amendment,
| which is non-abridgeable.. On the
other hand, there is a “liberty of
speech” provided-for:in the Fifth
Amendment, which is abridgeable
by due process of law. -Clearly in
passing the Smith Act Congress
looked to the latter interpretation,

‘A Guide To Philadelphia Entertainment
includes Academies, Museums & Alley

by Mimi Collins, ’57

“The following: guide will be use-
ful to an out-of-towner, for it pre-
sents, Philadelphia in a nutshell.
“Ben Franklin Parkway, 15th to
‘26th, parallel to Market, lends
‘grace and beauty to an otherwise
overcrowded city. Its fountains
and statues are breathtaking. The
drive is broken by the following
points of interest.

Philadelphia Museum of Art,

Parkway and 26th Street. An im-
mense building of Greek design,
the museum houses exhibits of
European and Asian works of art.
Featured in the collection are Ren-
aissance objects from Italy. and

’ ‘Prance, a series, of French rooms

of Louis XIV-XVI periods, oriental
art. and a collection illustrating
the evolution of painting, which
includes such masters as Van
Eyck, Masolino, and Botticelli.
Benjamin Franklin Institute,
Parkway and 20th Streets. «The
Institute is one of the nation’s
foremost institutions for the study
‘of mechanical arts and applied sci-
ence. - Its displays include self-
operative exhibits illustrating the

“pasie principles of science.

The most exceptional part of the
Institute is the Fels Planetarium
which is currently featuring a trip
tothe moon. The. Planetarium,
@onated in 1933 by Samuel Fels,
depicts the universe with the sun,
moon, planets, and stars in their
relative position at specific periods.

Academy ‘of Natural Sciences,
Parkway at 19th and Race Streets.
The Academy possesses a famous
collection of natural specimens,
and carries out extensive research

among the displays are animal-
life groups, notable exhibits of
minerals, a fascinating fluorescent

exhibit which reveals glowing col-| ;

ors hidden in certain minerals, and
a:hall of birds.
_ Before leaving the Parkway to
hit uather high spots about town,
tourists can fortify themselves
with food at The Parkway House,
located at 22nd and Parkway. It’s
expensive; its modern, luxurious
atmosphere may make it worth the
price.

ists. The Annual Exhibition of

to hold first place in importance in
national art life.

Elfreth’s Alley, between Arch
and Race, Front and 2nd Streets.
For colonial atmosphere at its best,
Elfreth’s Alley captures all prizes.
As soon as a visitor turns off Arch
into the quaint, dingy. cobblestone
street he finds himself transported
to the past.

Women lean out of narrow shut-
tered windows, and the _stores,!
whose signs’ are in old English’
script, provide a real life reproduc-
tion of Philadelphia in the late
1600's,

Regarded.as.the oldest.street_in
United States, Elfreth’s Alley still
has its original residences. The
brick buildings, all of which are
occupied, are over 225 years old.

Last Thursday Bryn Mawr’s
basketball team was defeated in a
very fast game with Immaculata
by the score of 61 to 31. The play-
ing in the game was outstanding
for its speed and this was the ad-
vantage which gave the victory to
the visitors. -

This unaccustomed speed caused
an exceptionally high number cf
fouls on the Bryn Mawr side but
no member of the team was fouled
out. Despite the difference in the
score it was generally agreed that
the Bryn Mawr team played ex-
ceptionally well. The performance
of the guards, M. G. Warren, Bob-
bie Olséy, and Marina: Rubezanin
was outstanding.

Good team work was another
quality of the Immaculata girls
which helped bring victory to their

them is the fact that the Supreme

belief that men can, by processes

Bryn Mawr Swim Team
Achieves Single Victory

° by Ruth Rash, 57

Bryn Mawr Gymnasium, Feb. 25
—Though swimming hard and well,
Bryn Mawr was defeated by
Swarthmore at their swimming
meet. Swarthmore, undefeated for
the last sevep-years, took the meet
with a total point score of 24 to
our 18.

The visitors’ edge in the junior
varsity events was much greater:
there the point total read 41 to 16.

Bryn Mawr’s most exciting and.

important single victory was. the
triumph in the free: style relay. In
individual events no Bryn Mawrter
took a. first but Ann Lebo and
Marjory Fair. had seconds, in the
back and front crawl respectively.
Peggy King and Dina Bickerman
took a seeend and .third in the
breast stroke event.

The outstanding competitor in
the diving competition was.G: Vate
who came in second, after Porter
of Swarthmore. Her front dive
brought her a loud round of ap-
plause from the spectators. Jan
Hetzel, also, dived extremely well
for Bryn Mawr.

says nothing important, he once
must have been indispensable at
the telling of Telemachus’ story.
If he were, for example, Odysseus
disguised ,there would be a just
reason to attach so much import-
ance to his presence.

This’ ‘brings us to the second
problem, which is the fact that
sometimes Odysseus is transformed
by Athene so as to be unrecogniz-
able, and sometimes is merely al-
tered by time and suffering. In
Book 13 he is transformed ‘into an
emaciated old man and. remains
that way until ‘Book 16. Then it is
necessary for Athene to restore his

Using the school doctor’s X-ray
machine she radiated the flies and
found that the incidence of tumors
increased from 3% to 32%. En-
couraged by these results she gave
colchicine to the flies and subjected
them to 2,000 Roentgen Units,
studying the mitotic rates in the
ventral ganglia of the brain. This
project was interrupted when she
went to Maine,

Joan is planning to work this
summer at the Institute of .Can-
cer- Research in: Philadelphia, do-
ing experiments in chemistry and

 

ered books elaborating on modern,

cyto-chemistry.

From here on the Odyssey as-
sumes no transformation of Odys-
seus, merely alteration by time and
circumstances. This is strange,
since the poet originally states
that he is using the transformation
idea. This idea is unwieldy, how-
ever, since it necessitates the ap-
pearance of Athene at every trans-
formation. This would tend to ruin

 

the story,. giving Odysseus too
muc ntage over his oppon-
ents and destroying the suspense.

| Apparently later authors realized
this and switched methods.

The third problem is that there
are two different plans for the re-
moval of the armor from the ban-
quet hall by Odysseus and Tele-

 

machus. In Book 16 Odysseus +telld
Telemachus to go to the dining hall
and remove the weapons except
some for themselves. He even gives
Telemachus an explanation to pre+
sent to the suitors if they noticé
the digappearance of the weaponsi

ook 18, however, the poet is
apparently unaware of this plan,
for Odysseus and Telemachus re}
move the weapons at night and
none are left for themselves; th¢
suitors never notice the disappear+
ance of the weapons. From this we
ean infer that there was some
other poem ‘in- which the action
proceeded according to the original
plan and that the two stories were
mixed at some point.

From a study of the middle por-
tion of the Odyssey,it-4s logical to
conclude that the poem in its pres-
ent form represents the work of
more than one author and is a
compilation -of . several poems,
Those responsible for this are prob-
ably either the professional recit-

‘ers or the person or persons who

originally put the text into writing,
or a combination of the two.

The poem could have been chang-
ed during the many times it was

recited, ore two poems could have]

unwittinglp been: mixed together.
The original text was, undoubtedly
compiled from the versions of con-
temporary reciters. There were no
written copies of the Odyssey be-
fore the 6th century .B. C. and
these differed from place to place.
We may therefore assume, accord-
ing to Mr. Page, that this section

of the Odyssey is the work of no}

single poet of high quality.

“Ecclesiastical courts had jurisdic-

tion over inheritances, wills and
all cases concerning men connected
with the clergy. The Church con-
~ stituted a state within a state and
was not ruled by common law but
by .its own canon law. Ultimate
appeal was not found in England,
and the struggles between King
and Church, were over control of

ecclesiastics, and imposition of
Papal revenues.

The relation between Church and
State was made significant during
the Babylonian captivity of the
Church when the Papacy passed un-

fighting France for empire in the
Hundred Years War and several
statutes were passed in -England
