Faculty Fry Exercise Imagination

And Muscles In

Especially Contributed by
Lois E. Glantz, °56

A group of small ducks, some
flying, some waddling, some even
four-legged, quacked noisily. A few
minutes later rubber balls and pup-
pets took turns jumping up and
down. There was another quick
transformation , and the _ scene
changed into a circus, complete
with clowns, seals and a tightrope
walker,

These varied happenings: occured
in the Grad Gym~where, for the
' past Saturday mornings, members
of the Dance Club have been teach-
ing faculty children. Two classes
are being given, one for three to
six year olds and another for seven
to ten year olds.

The younger group started their.

lessons with simple exercises in
technique. At some points the danc-
“ers seemed more interested in
counting out beats with the teach-
er. But they bounced away bravely
over their outstretched legs, and
reached ’way up to the ceiling.

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

suggéstions to the Library. Council |

and assistants or to put their sug-
gestions. in the Suggestion Box in

cussion of the methods of handling

Pace crept across thei
“looking for gold”. They leapt for
joy on its discovery, although one
participant tip-toed because, “you
have to hold it careful so it doesn’t
bounce out’,
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,
Liz Klupt, Anne Mazick and

‘icer Exp Explains
Treasurer's Job

by Mimi Collins, ’57

Collecting money, writing checks
and making deposits fit naturally
into a day’s agenda for Jessica| °
Dragonette, our Common Treas-
urer. Students are most likely to
see Jess scurrying up Morris Ave-
nue at a fewr” minutes before 8
o’clack, in.a frantic attempt to slip
into the bank before'closing time.;

Regardless of her last... minute
deposits, Jess’s warm nature seems
to have conquered the bank dig-
nitaries. -She says “they, are so
nice about straightening out all my
stupid mistakes that every ‘time I
come out I feel strictly pro-capital-
ism!”

When asked. by a reporter whatrB
she felt were the, requisites bo ful-

Jess emphatically stated that the
treasurer must know how to add!

She added that .a sincere interest] .

in the activities of campus organi-| -
zations is also important. (Anxi-
ous that this statement should not

be misconstrued, Jess immediately | :

said that her statement was based
on hindsight, which benefits from
bitter experience,)

Math Major:* _

a math major for the sheer love of
mathematics. However, writing

| 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.

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,
