Prompting Pressure Unity Ursula Branston Cites English View On Europe Miss Ursula Branston, a British visitor to America under the Smith- Mundt plan and a British Conser- vative Party specialist, spoke in the Gertrude Ely Room, Tuesday, October 20, on British and Amer- ican Policy in Western Europe, with special emphasis on plans for European federation. Miss Branston posed the ques- tion, what is European unity in actuality at the present? It is as limited in character as it is wide in possible scope. Six nations— Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, Luxemburg and the Netherlands— have drafted a constitution for po- litical unity which embraces other economic and defensive alliances. It also relinquishes individual sov- ereignty. This is a remarkable combination of countries: two aggressors and four. of their victims in the Second World War. Actually this is a very small fragment of Europe and could not be said to represent in any way a general federation. This proposed amalgamation is prompt- ed both by a fear of communism and.by great pressure from the United States. While this unification seems the natural solution of European and world-wide problems to the United States, Britain sees it in a totally different light. She feels that in May Sarton Talks, Holds A Discussion On Novels, Writing Every student interested in crea- tive writing is invited to confer with May Sarton next week, when she will visit the college. On Mon- day, October 26, at 8:30 she will give a lecture in the Deanery on “The Fallacy of Experience”, stat- ing what the novel should be and do. On Tuesday she will meet the members of the creative writing class. On either Tuesday or Wednes- day she will have supper in Rhoads, followed by an open dis- cussion in KRhoads_ showcase. Everyone is invited to both the lecture and discussion. The purpose of her visit is to give all students the opportunity to meet her per- sonally and to ask her pertinent questions on writing, or hear her poetry. First Volume of Poems Miss Sarton had her first vol- ume of poems published in 1936, and has been a professional poet, novelist, short-story writer, and lecturer ever since. For the last three years she has been an Eng- lish instructor at Harvard. Before the war she made an eight months’ lecture tour of the United States, covering most of the ‘country except the Northwest. During the war she wrote scripts for the Oversea Film Unit ef the OWI. She has many writing honors, among them the Golden Rose of New England Poetry Society, Rey- nolds Lyric Award for 1952, and an award from the Poetry Society of America.

Rifles Hi, Hillbilly Juniors Resist the Press, by Barbara Drysdale, ’55 There is one strict rule in re- viewing a class show at Bryn Mawr—criticize the production for what it is as the result of class efforts and teamwork, not for how it might rate compared with pro- fessional productions including brilliant stars. A second unwritten rule is that no one should review her own class show; unfortunately, due to the Herald Tribune Forum in New York, this rule has been broken. It is safe to say that the Junior Class succeeded in their “Aim to Please” the audience (and‘to enjoy producing the show themselves, This was due to the combination of good music and dance with ex- cellent taste. Among the songs, “Lilting Tunes, “] om: Yours”, “Do You Know”, Wandering Breeze”, and “Travellers Blues’ were particu- larly memorable. “Old Fashioned Courtship”, “We Dis Still It”, “Judd’s Song”, and “Rifles Hi” provided the comic elements. “Old Fashioned Courtship” should be mentioned also for the difficult and effective counterpoint as sung by Marcia Storch and Charlotte Busse. Short Length The shows short length and the absence of too many encores aided its good pace. The technical effects | provided by black lights in the dance sequence were an inspira- Photo Center, Bryn Mawr).

It was a Junior Show with a moral; beyond pointing out the moral, however, there seemed to be little else to say. Fortunately, the songs composed a much great- er portion of the show than the dialogue did, and carried the mes- sage across very melodiously. - Maddie deRopp as Debra and Judy Haywood as Julie, her back- country counterpart, complement- tion on someone’s part.

Leslie Kaplan, as the mysteri- ous Lulubelle, gave a _ pleasant rendition of “Wandering Breeze”, augmented imaginatively by Chris Flint on the autoharp. Grandpa (Marcia Storch), Grandma (Char- lotte Busse), and Judd Fudd (Liz Dr. Wagner Begins Nurses Aid Course The Nurses’ Aide training pro- gram, beginning on October 27, is being given again this year in close conjunction with the Civil Défense program. There will be a series of ten lectures, delivered by local specialists in the medical field, from 5:15 to 6:15 every Tues- day and Thursday. Dr. Wagner will deliver the In- troduction. Dr. William Parker will speak on “Shock”, Dr. Alan Parker on “Burns,” Dr. Reider on “Hemorrhage”, Dr. William Parker on “Cuts ‘and Crushing Injuries,” Dr. Palmer on “Head Injuries,” Dr: McGraw on “Intravenous Med-. ication,” and Dr. Harvey on “Rad- iation Sickness”.

Cameron Collins (C.C.), played by Jan Warren, and uproariously funny in her role of attempting to take a poll of hillbilly conditions. Claire Weigand played Maggie, the cynical woman without whom no newspaper seems to be com- plete. The Kick Chorus displayed their talents in some excellent new rou- tines. By far the most outstanding feature of the show, however, was the synchronization of dance into the plot, and Mary Vorys deserves praise along with the dancing chorus for her hard work and hours of rehearsal. Stage Set The stage set of Still Hollow woods (“there are more things in these woods than you might think”) was unconfused and at- tractive. Liz Gordon also did an excellent job on the sets for the black-lighted dream sequence. The costuming (by chairmen Dottie Fox and Emmie Rauh) was very gay and lovely; hillbilly music and lots. of folk dances made the most of the bright colors. The show boasted five accom- panists on four different instru- ments; included Marcia Storch (violin) and Edie Schwab (har- monica). Piano accompanists were Lois Beekey and Claire Weigand. It is particularly true of a class show that it is always as good as the people in it, and this cate- gory definitely includes the direc- tor, Janie Miller, and her assist- ants. It is safe to bet that this year’s Junior Show will be well- remembered for its music, as it is sung again and again at song fests and around the dining room tables. two demonstrations in the infirm- ary.

This was insti- tuted to remind citizens of the United States—who endure so many such “Weeks” for various causes that all cannot be celebrated—of the organization which constitutes the “round table’ where nations meet to formulate agreements and where they can, at least, agree to disagree. It is doubtful that the Bryn Mawr campus was aware of this Week. - United Nations Week itself is merely a reminder, and, as such, of little significance. But the purpose behind it is so important that it should be in our minds throughout the year and not just occur when some occasion or event of na- tional importance causes us to remember. A great many of our hopes for the future and fears for world peace lie in the hands of its delegates. The organization has been subjected to criticisms: that little seems ever to be accomplished at its round table, that in time of trouble nations just want to receive aid (in the form of money, or troops, or both) from the United States. These observations have elements of truth in them. But they do not show the whole picture. Beyond this is another fact too seldom realized. Behind the scenes at the United Nations a great many organizations continue in their work of aid, rehabilitation, and education. The workers train personnel from the countries aided so that when another epidemic breaks out or another flood causes havoc, native experts can handle the situation. The ultim- ate purpose of these organizations is similar to that of the medical profession—to become in the end useless beeauee of the lack of need. All the possibilities inherent in such a world organiza- tion as well as all its present programs should be taken into the balance before the United Nations is weighed and found lacking. One of the purposes of collegiate education is to become more fully aware in many ways — politically, socially, ec- onomically. Should it not be part of this purpose to become internationally aware as well? Nothing is truer than the handy platitudes about the earth’s pocket size in these mod- ern times and the fact that families half-way around the world are now practically our neighbors. -In many ways—such as reading the newspapers or the U. N. News, or visiting the United Nations in New York, or participating in the various political organizations on cam- pus—we can foster in ourselves a state of “international awareness”. oe 4 — “UNICEF” Solicits: For Rehabilitation, Children’s Welfare The United Nations Internation- al Children’s Emergency Fund is a part of the United Nations, es- tablished by the General Assembly in December 1946 for the relief and rehabilitation of children and for child health and welfare pur- poses generally. During United Nations Week, October 10 to 26, the Committee for the Fund is be- ginning its annual activities to raise the money enabling it to continue with its work. The organization is supported mainly by gifts from governments —the people from each country contribute through their govern- ments—and by voluntary contri- butions made on a_ nationwide basis through the United Nations Appeal for Children. This year the Fund will cele- brate its sixth birthday. When programs now in operation end, 60,000,000 children in 75 countries will have been aided. children. The governments of the The world-wide fight against the enemies of childhood has nu- merous battle fronts. Its workers combat malaria, tuberulosis, hunger, sickness, yaws, ignorance, epidemics, and flood, drought and earthquake emergencies. During the last few years in Brazil, the infant mortality rate dropped from fifty to thirty percent due to the help of UNICEF. The main feature of the organi- zation’s operations throughout the world is what is called “the match- ing principle.” In order for any country to receive the Fund’s aid for its children, the government of that. country, or some voluntary agency within the country, must make a contribution equal to or more in value than the aid request of UNICEF, Thus, in effect, contributions to UNICEF are doubled or more in value by the time aid reaches the assisted countries carry the main burden; UNICEF provides only those supplies and equipment that are not otherwise available. Whole populations are often reached in this way. There are two points which it is important to remember. First, the child’s need is the only criterion. Aid is distributed without regard to race, creed, nationality, or po- litical consideration. Second, in all its operations UNICEF seeks to encourage ini- tiative, whether governmental or private, and it particularly en- courages efforts leading to last- ing benefits for the children by training personnel, of the countries Your Counter point Welcomes T ryouts Attention, Writers: Counterpoint wants you!

Kay Sherman Represents The College At ‘Junior Press Conference’ Opening The Junior Press Conference, which is made possible by Ruth Geri Hagy, opened with scenes of college campuses, among them ‘Bryn Mawr. The guest Monday ‘night was Colonel] Ben C. Limb, a “valiant sol- dier, fighting by Singman Rhee as firstsan aid, then as secretary and now the representative of Korea in| the United Nations.” As a member of the panel, Kay Sherman represented Bryn Mawr. The University of Pennsylvania sent Marcianos Shestack and Mr. Leonwater, and Swarthmore was represented by Mr. Seiverts. Kay Sherman opened the discus- sion with a query as to whether the proposed Korean Peace talks would take place. Another question was raised as to the amount of success that could be hoped for. Colonel Limb hoped the Conference would take place; he felt that a prerequi- site for success was that all the topics on the agenda be brought to a successful conclusion. Asked about the merits of Unification, Colonel Limb said that without this unification, many lives would have been lost to no avail, and only with unification could peace and prosperity be achieved. There could be no peace, Mr. Limb asserted, if half the country were to be allowed to go under Communist rule. As a statement of fact Mr. Limb asserted that if the conference met with no success the allies were com- mitted to re-open the war with the South Koreans. War would re- open if the Communists appeared to be prolonging the conference merely for the sake of prolonging and delaying the procedure, hence the January 25 time limit. Mr. Limb’s central point seemed to be that come what may the Ko- reans must recognize no partition. Partition, he felt, had been the worst mistake and a “stupid” one, and the aim of the Koreans, that of unity, must be the aim of their Western allies. Current Events Mr. Bachrach Explains Bricker Proposal To Students Mr. Peter Bachrach cited “a new kind of isolationism” when he ex- plained “The Bricker Amendment: Ameriean Isolationism vs. Human Rights” at Current Events, Mon- day evening. If ratified, the pro- posed amendment will substantial- ly lessen the President’s treaty- making powers. _ Originating with the American Bar Association in 1946, the plan was introduced by Bricker in the form of an amendment in 1952. By January of 1958, it had sixty-four sponsors, but no action had been taken when Congress recessed in August. The Administration is op- posed to the Bricker amendment. Bricker’s Proposal The first section of Bricker’s proposal states that a treaty pro- vision conflicting with the U. S. Constitution shall not take effect. In the Curtis-Wright Case of 1946, ||] the court decision was that the treaty-making power is inherent in the President and that the coun- try must be lenient in judging his decisions in foreign policy. According to the sixth article, all treaties under United States authority are supreme, but there are political safeguards against presidential power. Treaties must be ratified by two-thirds of the Senate; Congress can refuse to vote funds, and can also repudiate a law. If a treaty can become effective as internal law in the United States only through the normal course of legislation which is re- quired in the absence of a treaty, the President’s power to. negotiate is greatly hindered. This second stipulation of the proposed amend- ment would mean a great delay in enacting international decisions be- cause they would not\be binding upon the VU. S. without going through all the steps of a regular national law. Precedence of Treaty Since a treaty has precedence over state laws as does a federal law, issues such as civil rights cases which cannot be regulated by federal laws could be brought be- fore an International Tribunal af- ter the ratification of the Human Rights Covenant. Bricker fears that such a treaty would make the International organization too pow- erful and questions whether the in- dividual would have the rights of “due process of law” before such a court. Of course here, too, there is a political safeguard because Congress need not ratify the cov- enant in the first place if pressure is brought to bear against it. In the third section, Bricker gives Congress the power to regu- late all executive agreements with other nations or an international organization. Since executive agree- . ments have outnumbered treaties in a ten to one proportion during the last. decade, this provision might hamper the President to a point where America’s role in in- ternational affairs would be seri- ously hindered. One effect of the proposal is that Eisenhower and Dulles have sworn they will not even suggest that the Senate ratify the Human Rights Covenant, because these rights must be felt from within, not legis- lated from without, but the char- ter might do some good in coun- tries where it is ratified. The bill is “motivated by the fear, mistrust, and hatred of new ideas.” Com servatism in the U. S. has had its stronghold in Congress, but if this amendment is passed, the presi- dency also will be dominated by Conservatism. Wednesday, October 21, 1953 THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Three Mrs. Neel Appears, Talks at SDA Tea Plan to enter politics? If so, start at an early age. This was the advice of Mrs. Percy Neel, a candi- date for the local School Board, who spoke to interested students at tea on Thursday. Sponsored by SDA, under the chairmanship of Anne Mazick, the talk was planned to present a sur- vey of the local political scene. Fol- lowing it, Mrs. Neel answered per- tinent questions, and there was op- portunity for discussion. In explaining the political set- up, Mrs. Neel said that the town of Bryn Mawr is a part of Lower Merion Township, which is the largest township in Montgomery County. The township is divided into twenty-four voting districts, each of which comprises a popula- tion of from fifteen hundred to three thousand. The township is governed by fourteen commissioners, who serve for four-year terms. Since only one of these is a Democrat, it is not difficult to see that this town- ship is a notoriously Republican stronghold. In fact, Republicans outnumber Democrats by ten to one. Mrs. Neel felt that at least a small minority of Democratic commissioners would be effective as a constructive curb. The most important office to pe voted on this year is that of Tax Collector and Treasurer. This of- fice carries with it a sizable sal- ary, including rebates garnered from back taxes.

The band was playing in Applebee Barn on Saturday, Octo- ber 17 between three and_four- thirty. Claire had just taught Penny Derr a version of the Lindy and was ready for more—a few steps of Charleston led to a kick chorus routine. Actually, dancing was a natural development since “listen- ers” tapped their feet, whistled, ‘and sang along with the music, en- couraged by members of the band who sang and nodded too. People wearing comfortable clothes sat on ehairs and tables and, most impor- tant, were completely relaxed. Casual Attitude “The casual attitude affected the music in that the “concert” was a jam session. Songs including “Isn’t It a Lovely,” “Basin Street Blues,” and “Has Anybody Seen My Gal” were played in random order with pauses for the band to decide what to play and the audience to chat. ‘As for the actual playing, “They’ve really got the rhythm and they’ve really got, the beat” was the reac- tion of Laura Lee Stearns. Particularly good was their ver- sion of “When the Saints Come Marching In.” It was very spirit- ed and also unusual because it was almost completely percussion at the end. Members of the band, except the drummer, Lee Regan, are Haver- ford students, only one of whom ig) a music major. Their names and instruments are: Wis Comfort, trombone; Jerry Albright, trum- pet; ‘Sahib Shihab’, piano; Larry Finkelstein, guitar; ‘Shoeless Joe Jackson’, -bass viol, and Ed Pine, clarinet. Half of them have been members since last year and the other half were chosen at a jam session held at the -beginning of the school year. The Haverford Jazz Band has been in existence for three years. Ministers Arrive Here Next Week “Religion and Daily Living” will be the topic at the conference on religion scheduled for October 28 and 29 when there will be min- isters of every denomination visit- ing Bryn Mawr. On Wednesday there will be one minister visiting each hall for dinner, and he will speak on religion in daily life and lead an informal discussion after dinner; .\ On Thursday, two of the min- isters will be in the Deanery all day for private discussion, and then at four, all of the ministers will return for a tea in the Com- mon Room. Here each will give a short talk on the aspect of re- ligion that has meant the most to him. It is hoped that this confer- ence will give students an oppor- tunity to have their questions on religion answered and will stimu- late religious interest. The ministers in the halls will be: Rabbi H. Hirsch Cohen in Denbigh, Reverend N. Gordon Cos- by in Merion, Reverend Edwin Kennedy in Rockefeller, Reverend E. A. deBordenave in Pembroke, Mr. Robert James in Rhoads, and a Catholic priest, as yet unnamed, in Radnor. Students are welcome to come to all of the get-togethers to ask questions about their own religion or any religion in which they are interested. Any student wishing to talk to either of the men who will be in the Deanery, Reverend N. Gordon Cosby, or Reverend Edwin Kennedy, may sign for an appoint- ment on the bulletin board in Taylor. ‘Friends Of Music’ Give First Concert by Harriette Solow, ’56 The New Art Wind Quintet per- formed at the first chamber music concert sponsored by the Haver- ford College Friends of Music this year. This took place in the Haver- ford Common Room on Sunday, October 18, at 8:30. The quintet played Mozart’s Di- vertimento No. 4 for Oboe, Bas- soon and Clarinet a little faster than it is ordinarily played, It was delightful at this pace. Their per- formance of Kleine Kammermusik proved some of the easiest Hinde- mith for listening. Serenade and Thema Mit Varia- zionen Op. 34 by Blumer, a con- temporary of Strauss, opened the second half of the program. It was followed by a very pleasing per- formance of RoSsini’s Quartet No. 1 in F Major. Trois Pieces Breves by the contemporary French com- poser Jacques Ibert concluded the program. Composer Ibert The first of these, allegro, was very amusing because after the flute played its melody the French horn broke in with a theme from ‘Wagner. Then attention flowed back and forth between flute and horn until an abrupt ending by the horn. The third section, waltz, also had an unusual and unexpect- ed ending. As an encore, the quin- tet played a German Dance by Mo- zart. The policy of the Haverford Friends of Music is “presenting in intimate and congenial surround- ings, by the finest artists we can se- cure, the best in chamber music, especially works not frequently heard. The next concert of the series, on January 10 will feature Agi Jambor, noted pianist. He will play works of Bach and Chopin. Concerts are free for students and they will be welcome.” Professor Maurin Fluent Trilinguist, Joins Department by Jacqueline Braun, ’54 ‘A sthdent who. thinks she knows most of the Bryn Mawr faculty might be rather surprised by the number of young professors inhab- iting the French, Spanish, and Phi- losophy section of the library, In an office halfway down the corri- dor, with the door usually open, may be found M. Mario Maurin, new professor of French, With just a few words M. Maurin can make a student feel at ease, and conversing with him is not only pleasant but as a rule highly amus- ing. M. Maurin has a tri-lingual back- ground. Borr in France of French and Spanish parentage, he spent his early years in Spain until his family returned to France in 1936. In 1941 he came to the United States and enrolled in the Lycee Francais in New York, from which he received his bachaut in 1945, Higher Degrees He then went on to Yale for a B. A. in 1948 as a Latin major, and then an M. S. in 1949 and a ‘PhD. in French in 1951. He re- turned to Europe for a year while writing his thesis on the subject of Andre Suares, a modern essayist and poet. The name of this writer will always call forth a smile from M. Maurin, who believes that Su- ares, though little spoken of to- day, deserves to rank with the real- ly great men of letters of twenti- eth century France. Between 1951 and 1953 M. Mau- rin spent an unusual two years in the United States Marine Corps. Because of his knowledge of Span- ish, he was given the responsibility of training Puerto Rican draftees in a camp on Parris Island off the South Carolina coast. After com- pleting his work there he was sent to the Marine Corps Institute in Washington in 1952 as a research assistant in a language training program for Puerto Ricans. At Bryn Mawr this year, M. Mau- rin is teaching elementary French, a section of the first year litera- ture course, and a class in twenti- eth century French literature. Suares will undoubtedly find his way into this latter course to glad- den the heart of his admirer. Observer A. motley crew of Freshmen scrambles into line as_ twilight dims the sky above the library. Orange and black scarves glare at the vari-colored coats and fire-en- gine red gym suits. Rehearsal be- gins and uncertain voices grope clumsily for the harmony. At the second verse a staggered line of sophomores file in on each side of the Cloisters. One line speeds along at a slow run, then waits dejectedly at the center for its more leisurely partner to catch up. Two hesitant strains of “Pal- las”, one a whole stanza ahead, mingle, or rather clash, in the en- closure. The straining voices of the Freshmen plunge into “Sophias” as each lantern swinger tries to help out by marking her individual tempo with a clanking lantern. Harrassed song-mistresses sigh and call for another run-through. Darkness has fallen on _ the cloisters.. Pale-green lights sus- pended in mid-air move in mysteri- ous unison. A line of indistinct figures glides along each side: of the enclosure. Haunting strains of the hymn to wisdom echo through the darkness. The notes are clear and crisp as they resound through the cold autumn night. Darkness has brought continuity and a magic touch of timelessness to the Cloisters. “No, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it to the Symphony to- night... Sorry, no flicks, either ... Yes, it really is a shame that I’ll have to miss that lecturer in the Music Room ... Am I doing anything tonight? .., Really, you do ask. the most absurd questions! This is a “News” night! You know ... . tonight I slave down at the “News” room... Of course it takes time, but I wouldn’t have tried out if I didn’t enjoy doing Hoa” Yes, missing those special events and getting your articles in on time are worth it, although some skeptics just won’t believe that be- ing on the “News” board or staff could be worth the trouble. Work- ing on the “News” rather resem- bles portraying the hero in “The Pit and the Pendulum”; that inev- itable deadline is constantly star- ing one in the face. Yet even beating the deadline can be a wonderful game. One feels a triumphant glow when one has just run from Rock to Radnor to put that article in the Copy Edit- or’s box on time. And when on Tuesday night the editors head for home, the satisfaction of knowing that those six pages will actually have something written on them when they “come out” on Wednes- day offsets that feeling that one would like to lie down on the steps of Goodhart and simply stay there ‘til morning. Getting Job Done There are serious aspects to get- ting your job done down in the “News” room, but it has been ru- mored that a good sense of humor is a prerequisite for acceptance on the staff, and this may well be true. When the “News” is at work in Goodhart, an even slightly dull mo- ment is.rare. Perhaps it has some- thing to do with the organized, or disorganized, state of things. The copy gets lost under the table, or the galley starts to blow out of the window, or everyone forgot to bring a pencil and we may be ‘forc- ed to correct things with lipstick. And there is almost always some poor soul sitting in a corner, hav- ing a mild case of hysteria, per- haps due to the fact that someone else has just thought up a’ sensa- tionally riotous headline, such as “Dot Marshall Gives Kids Straight Poop”. This was once. considered for use above an article on a meet- ing of the Freshmen with the Dean, but was promptly unconsidered after the Editor had been consult- ed. Adventure The “News” room is always the backdrop for the unravelling of tales more fabulous than any Na- thaniel Hawthorne could invent... in other words, what happens to various staff members when said members find themselves in start- ling situations. There is always at least one person around who is happy to tell about the time she misquoted Miss McBride three times in the same article. Or the honored member who innocently inquired of a prominent Bryn Mawr professor; “Do you live around here, too?” Incidentally, really getting to know the faculty and administra- tion constitutes one of the plus factors for Board and Staff mem- bers. They may think we're a bother, but at any rate they do know we exist. How could they help it, being constantly plagued by blazer-clad figures demanding their life histories for an inter- view, or information on what topic they’ve chosen for Current Events next week? Yes, even when it takes an entire hour to dredge up a headline that counts, or when we manage to Behind the Scenes . . . By Joan Havens, ’56 “schedule” three events at once in the Common Room on the Calendar, those untold bonuses of working on the “News” outnumber any in- conveniences we may feel we suf- fer fin the interests of journalism. Anyone can, given a month or two, pound out a headline, but it’s much more fun when you know it must be finished tonight. After all, there’s always the opening of the Soda Fountain to look forward to, and our literary inventiveness is renewed after a trip to this sooth- ing locale. In closing; you can criticize the articles, heads, and editorials in the “News” (just don’t do it too often!), but don’t criticize the spir- t behind them. If “the spirit is the thing that counts”, then work- ng on the “News” definitely counts too. Autumn Decoration Livens Rock Dance by Barbara Drysdale, 55 Bright autumn leaves and gay chrysanthemums decorated Rocke- feller Hall on Saturday night when last nighters wandered in from Junior Show to dance to the music of Jon Whittaker’s Band. Carrying out the theme of the hillbilly country portrayed in “Aim Please”, wagon wheels and little brown jugs were scattered around the room. Punch and cook- ies were served to the guests (in- cluding two busloads of Prince- ton boys attracted to the Bryn Mawr through Junior Show’s overenthusiastic publicity), who spent the evening dancing in the spacious dining room and sit- ting and talking in the smoker. With some help from Straw- bridge and Clothier decorations, chairmen Joan Polk, Marcia Lock- wood, Annabelle Williams, and Janet Mules planned well for the final event in a pleasant evening.

Despite our opposition to Communism, we have probably done a great deal to strengthen Tito’s regime lately, because he needed such an issue to unite all his unsympathetic citizens again. During a visit in Yugoslavia with the Experiment in Interna- tional Living last summer, we ob- served that people were not as happy with.the Communist regime as some of us had heard previous- ly, but regardless of what they might think of the top Commun- ists’ relatively - luxurious living standards, they still admired Tito and his regime for one important function. They have formed a unit- ed Yugoslavia from six small re- publics, and regardless of the na- tionality conflicts that are still quite strong, Yugoslavs realize that this is the only way they can hold any influence in the world community. The Trieste dispute has probably strengthened this feeling. Wheén our group visited Belgrade early in August, after spending three weeks with families in Za- greb, we met Josip Gjergja, state counselor for foreign affairs, a po- sition similar to the office of Under-Secretary of State. Trieste was the first issue Mr. Gjergja ex- plained, For many centuries the territory of Trieste was under the Austro-Hungarian empire, togeth- er with Slovenia and Croatia. After World War I, Italy bargain- ed for Trieste and President Wil- son supported Yugoslavia, but’ when America withdrew, Italy gained the upper hand. Yugoslavia had to oblige, and lost Trieste, Istria, and Dalmatia to Italy. Mussolini worked on the denationalization of Istria and Dal- matia for fifteen years, and within that time, Trieste and Istria chang- ed ethnically. During World War II, Yugoslavia liberated Trieste and Istria but did not gain a right to Trieste. At the Paris Peace Con- Professors Speak Of Life in Greece “Our Three Years in Greece” is the topic chosen by Dr. Amey E. Watson and Dr. Frank D. Watson who will speak on Sunday, Octo- ber 25, at the annual fall tea of the Alumni Association of the De- partment of Social Economy. The tea is open to members of the Alumni Association, Dr. Amey Watson, first presi- dent of the Social Economy Alum- ni Association, was Director of the School of Social Welfare at the American College for Girls near Athens, and Case Supervisor of the Family Agency in Greece. Dr. Frank Watson was Director for Greece of the Congregational Christian Service Committee. Prior to that he served for thirty- five years as Professor of Soci- ology at Haverford College. ference in 1946, Trieste was declhr- ed an international area. Yugoslavia desired a solution to the problen’ and offered three pro- posals. The first was that the area be . governed in condominium, changing every three years. There would be a mixed administration with the governor from one coun- try and the vice governor from the other, then the reverse at the end of three years. The second plan was to divide the territory accord- ing to the ethnic line, and the third according to ethnic balance. Italy refused all these proposals and suggested a “demagogical” plan, furthermore refusing to solve any other problems with Yugosla- via until the Trieste issue was set- cled. Yugoslavia does not question the fact that Trieste as a city is Italian, but she feels that the eth- nic territory is disputable. Story of Destruction Last week a letter arrived from a friend in Zagreb. On October 9, she had gone to the American lib- rary for a book she had ordered from America, and ,she described the destruction which she had seen at the French, American, English, and Italian consulates. This girl was twelve years old when World War II interrupted her youth, It is not as easy for her as it is for us to feel free from the dangers of war. After describing what hap- pened to the consulates in Zagreb, she continues: “This (demonstrations with the breaking of windows) lasted the whole day, and even now, at ten o’clock, I can hear the voices of the demonstrators. I can’t approve van- dalism, but my opinion is that this what happened to Trieste is really the most unjust thing toward Yug- oslayia since 1945. Italy fought with Germany, occupied during the war Dalmatia, Slovenia, and Istria, chased and killed partisans—and now she is getting the zone A with Trieste, where 75 per cent of the population are Slovenians! And more—Pella, the premier of Italy said: This is only the beginning of our requirements, It is well known that Pella wants our whole coast because she is, ostensibly, Italian. Always the conquerable appetites! “I don’t know what will be the end of this, but I hope the UN will do something. I hate war, and to- day, at the glance of the American library, I became at once awfully worried, because it reminded me on the last war, on demolition and damage. “T hope this will be only a little misunderstanding between us and America and England, and I hope they( will find a better solution about) Trieste...” : And her older sister commented in her note: “It is a bad situation we are in, and we don’t know how it will finish. Now you can prob- ably understand why we Europ- eans have another point of view than you—and why we are so un- trustful—with such an experience behind us.” Hot from the grill Come hamburgers fine, Or anything else you wish. So stop at The Hearth Whenever there’s time And order your favorite dish. Last Nighters Progressive Players Present Work Of Shaw by Barbara Drysdale, ’55 The Hedgerow Theatre, a small group which is known for its pro- gressive theatrical viewpoint, pre- sented what must have taken a great deal of courage even to at- tempt — the entire version of George Bernard Shaw’s Man and Superman — Friday night in the Foyer of the Academy of Music. It was an auspicious opening for the repertory theatre’s two and a half month run in Philadelphia. In the intimate atmosphere of a small theatre, the players gave the five-hour play with a great deal of polish and ease, despite the obvious torment of the poor statue in hell—the dream char. acter of Roebuck Ramsden — in clown white and mediaeval cos- tume under the spotlight’s glare. Dolores Tanner made the most of the tiny set; the size was pain- fully obvious only in the Victorian drawing room scene when the men, Jack Tanner in particular, seemed to dwarf their surroundings. The simplicity of the sets was in ex- cellent taste, and Jasper Deeter’s blocking was masterful. Without exception, the char- acterization was most enjoyable. Ronald Bishop gave a splendidly Victorian delivery as “plain Roe- buck Ramsden”, one of the heiress’ guardians. As the hero Jack Tan- ner, David Metcalf gave a per- formance almost too good to be true, overacting just a bit. Most of the time, however, his enthusi- asm for the progressive in customs and morals was quite contagious. Moral Passion His startling entrance was par- ticularly well done, and the duet with Anne (Audrey Ward) on the subject of moral passion was de- lightful. Audrey Ward as “Gran- ny’s Annie” laid her trap for Jack just like a cat contemplating a feckless mouse. Her majesty and poise as the girl who always did what everyone else wanted were very fine. Robert Chase was quite young and naive as the poetical Octavius (Riki-tiki-tavi). His misunder- standing of Anne’s tactics was complete and his subsequent heart- break pathetically funny (“Bear it like a man, Tavi, even if you feel it like an ass,” said Jack). His sister Violet, sweet and persuas- ive, proved her father-in-law’s ad- age that “domestic pressure may be slow, but it’s sure.” Mendoza of the Sierras, who found his mission in life “to hold up motorears, to secure a more equitable distribution of wealth”, was superbly played by Michael Kahn. His rendition of the Devil in hell was even finer. He inter- preted Shaw’s definition of hell beautifully—“nothing is real here, that is the horror of damnation” and “ ‘Leave all hope behind, ye who enter here’ — think what a relief that is!” Morgan Smedley as_ Henry Straker, the new man “who proves that social prejudice is not limited to the upper classes,” was quite amusing. The minor character players were excellent. Shaw illustrates his opinion of Continued on Page 5, Col. 5 Miss Lehr Gives Miss Marguerite Lehr, profess- r of Mathematics at Bryn Mawr College, gave the first in her series of talks entitled “Invitation to Mathematics” on the television University of the Air on Monday, October 15. To the people who know her, Miss Lehr’s program gave not only the pleasure that comes from hearing her talk about mathematics at any time, but also the thrill of knowing that this sub- ject was coming to life in language anyone could understand, through a highly accessible medium. Looking up invitation in Web- ster, Miss Lehr found first “to in- vite is to ask... . to engage in some (presumably attractive) proceed- ing” and commented: “That was my intention, but he a says ‘a drawing one on, a@ilure- ment, enticement’. It could have been made to order because draw you on is what I hope to do; the allurement and enticement will come from mathematics itself.” For people who cannot read mu- sic, a musical score is only a col- lection of symbols; for others it comes alive with familiar sound and rhythm. Similarly back of any mathematical formula, be it, simple addition or something drawn from Einstein, runs “the live activity, mathematics, and no definition can hope to catch the live thing”. The essence of mathematics, like that of poetry, defies definition. Miss Ballet Cast’s Skill Enthralls Audience by Maryellen Fullam, ’56 With customary perfection, the Sadler’s Wells Ballet thrilled Phil- adelphia audiences last week, dur- ing its annual appearance at the Academy of Music. From its large repertoire, the company selected for presentation “Sylvia”, “Swan Lake”, and a triple bill of “Les Pa- tineurs”, “The Shadow”, and the third act of “The Sleeping Beau- ty”, danced by the inimitable com- pany twice on Thursday. Despite the limitations imposed py the small stage at the Academy, and the minimum amount of scen- ery, the Ballet was most impress- ive. The two classics, “Sylvia” and “Swan Lake’, were superb, due largely to the incredible danc- ing of Margot Fonteyn. “Les Patineurs”’, the first num- ber on the program of three, was a light sketch depicting a skating scene. The precision with which it was executed was the main fea- ture of the dance, since it lacked interpretive significance. “The Shadow”, a ballet in one scene, was the better of the two short offerings, by dint of its plot and its effective scenery and light- ing. The story of the two young lovers and the shadow of fear was sensitively interpreted by Philip Chatfield and Svetlana Beriosova. The third act of “The Sleeping Beauty” was highlighted by the color and pageantry of the court and the delightful antics of the fairy tale characters. Lecture On I. V. Called “Invitation to Mathematics” by Jacqueline Braun, "54 Lehr let Housman speak for her in this connection, “I can no more define poetry than a terrier can de- fine a rat—show me a piece and I’ll tell you whether it’s poetry by whether the small hairs rise on the back of my neck”, Mathematics sets up good rules for getting quick answers and ac- cumulates reasons for trusting these rules. The basis of mathe- matical activity is inquiry, “so our choice of examples will be based on questions put—questions about number, space, pattern, logic. Most smallwchildren do things and ask about things which in some way touch the mathematical side of ex- perience. Miss Lehr intends to use children’s casual remarks in her talks to surprise her audience into “that attitude of observant activ- ity from which questions spring.” Disposed to Learn In Webster’s definition of math- ikos—disposed to learn” and only second “mathematika, — things learned.” Miss Lehr started rais- ing a few questions to make her audience disposed to learn. “If you: see a scallop-shaped shadow would you know that it could come from a spiral? How much can we tell about shapeS from shadows? If you see a route on a map do you know where the pilot has gone out of his way? Can a factory making flash bulbs make some control of quality when any test of bulbs de- stroys them? When the United Nations team of economic advisors started for eastern countries why did they take dice as part of their equipment?” oe Miss Lehr’s\talks will all be concerned with questions raised: How many? How high? How far away? How often? How likely? What shape, pattern, path? “Each talk was chosen because it illus- trates some _ basic~ mathematical notion which has paid off in in- creasing our understanding and enjoyment of the world we live in. Each talk will begin with some naive observation or familiar sit- uation and show the intention of some piece of mathematics which is current and powerful. Do not be misled if questions at first seem childishly naive, obvious, almost trivial. Benjamin Franklin flew a kite—a childish pursuit, but by let- ting it run free he learned some- thing far from childish .. . If in these talks kites are once air-borne, don’t pull them down too soon. There’s electric charge in those clouds! Besides, it’s fun to feel a kite pull, and if we’re lucky, that’s what you'll feel!” Her students have seen the sparks fly and felt the kite pull, and if anyone can make a television audience discover mathematics in this way, Miss Lehr is the person to do it.

For some the modern city’s skyscrap- ers, buses, movie theatres, hotels, clubs and sports, theatres. and nightclubs, afford the main attrac- tion, : Others go back a little in history and time for the things which for them make Cairo unique. The Opera house built by the Khedive to com- memorate the opening of the Suez Canal, to welcome the Empress Eugenie and the first audience ever to listen to Verdi’s “Aida”. The Palaces of a kingship now seemingly belonging to a past era, the Citadel, the «Mosques, the artists’ quarters in old Cairo, the University of Al Azhar, the seat of all Islamic culture and learn- ing, the old Coptic churches, these things fascinate them. Archeologists find amidst the ruins of Cairo, at the Pyramids, a wealth of interest, a key to a past civilization. Visitors to Cairo are struck by a new atmosphere, a strange fascination which touches all the East. The shopkeeper selling his wares, the occasional rumble of carts on their way to work, the sound of a hammer forging copper trays, the hum of the spinning wheel in the old city Bazaar, the cordial handshakes and_saluta- tions, all of this makes up my Cairo, a city that is modern, his- torical, rich in relics of the past, and full of fascination.

Nine BMC Faculty Members Return From Sabbaticals, Recount Research, Studies, Sojourns And Observations This fall the ranks of Bryn Mawr’s faculty are charged with the faces of new professors; Bryn Mawr also welcomes the return of those old friends missed during a year’s leave of absence. Sabbati- cals have carried in person the fame and prestige of this College’s faculty to various parts of the world; in return, eight professors have received invaluable experi- ence and numerous anecdotes with which to enrich life on campus. The Berliners travelled to Lon. don where they continued the same research in which they had been engaged here, namely the physical- organic aspects of aromatic chem- istry. Particularly concerned with the relation between structure and reactivity of organic compounds, they used the chemistry laborator- ies at the University College, Lon- don—headquarters of Professor In- gold, authority in the field—as point of departure for expeditions through English and Swiss labora- tories and for a series of lectures given by Mr. Berliner in Glasgow, Manchester and London. Their six months abroad—from February through August—filled them with respect for the extensive European building of laboratories to replace those bombed during the war. Travel South Mr. and Mrs. Dryden remained in the Southeastern section of this country. As the winter progress- ed, they travelled farther south “but never far enough south to get warm”, They drove over 30,000 miles from Maryland to Florida in search of Ilmenite for the United States Geological Survey. Ilmenite is a black mineral found in sands; when roasted it turns white and is useful as pigments for DuPont white paints and in the steel industry. Only small amounts of this mineral are found in dark sand layers of modern beaches; since a million tons of ilmenite are needed and since 95% of the dark sand is waste material, only exten- sive beds make a working profit- able. The Drydens sought for large amounts of Ilmenite along ancient shorelines which ‘stretch 40 to 50 miles inland from the modern coast. It was a seven-day-a-week job, including New Year’s Day. The French-fried coleslaw menu for ail meals but breakfast wag mon- otonous; the Drydens are a walk- ing catalogue on Southern motels The purpose of the Drydens’ trip was frequently misinterpreted by the natives; while running along the road-sides with soil augers they were accused of drainifg vital irrigation ditches. Once, ‘a half- blind old man asked them what they were selling and, being told ‘“We’re’ working for the govern- ment,” replied “I don’t want to buy any of that!” Unheated Archives Last winter found Mr. Gilbert wrapped in coat and gloves in un- heated rooms of the Florentine Ar- chives where he sought, amidst “overwhelming masses of docu- ments, for material on Machiavelli and Guicciardini—their relation to their contemporaries, and their or- iginality in the realm of political science and economics. After this he eagerly greeted the “lovely peo- ple and landscapes” of Spain and Greece, prior to spending three months in England. There he stay- ed at Oxford with Isaiah Berlin, who delivered the Flexner Lectures of 1952. Bryn Mawr has not truly missed Mr. Michels—mainly because he has not been far from campus. He devoted his year of peace and quiet to research in Photonoptics, the study of psycho-physics and phys ical chemistry. During the spring he spent a month in Texas where he worked with Professor Harry Helson, formerly of this faculty, ‘days after the strike began. on psychophysical research. Johns Hopkins University claim- ed Miss Oppenheimer for its de- partment of Biology from Septem- ber through November of last year before she travelled to Naples. There she was located in the Zoo- logical Station, an International Laboratory, until she returned to the Department of Zoology at Yale. Her field of specialization was ex- perimental study of the develop- ment of the brain in fish embryos. Mr. Sloan with his wife and two daughters was attached to Paris and Lyon through a Fulbright re- search appointment. After May 1 they were in Italy for a month, drove through Southern and Cen- tral France for two weeks, spent a month on the coast of Brittany, went to England for two weeks and finally returned to Paris two Not only were they somewhat trapped by the strike but on the way home they were enveloped by the hurri- cane. The object of all this travel is a book, at present in embryonic stage, on Paul Chenarard, who “has been forgotten by all but one man in Paris and me”. Chenarard, a nineteenth century artist, spent many years working on a cycle of historic scenes for the walls and floor of the Pantheon; when the Pantheon was returned to the Church in 1851, it was renamed Ste.

School Situation In the discussion following her talk, Mrs. Neel pointed out that the main issue confronting the vot- ers in this year’s elections is that of the school situation. There has been a proposal to build a junior high school in Rosemont. This has met with opposition from several quarters, since the resi- dents of Merion and Penn Valley feel that Rosemont is at too great a distance for their children to travel, and those living in Rose- mont think that the building of the new school will lower the value of property in that town. Dean of Women or the August, September, October or November issues of Mademoiselle. Township residents will be asked to vote on a “package bill”, con- cerning a four million dollar bond issue for the schools. Besides the Rosemont school, the money would be used for improvement to the junior high in Ardmore, and for a school in Gladwynn. The disad- vantage of such a bill is that one must vote for or against all three recommendations at once. Mrs. Neel said that the Demo- erats, whife approving the erection of new schools, feel that such great sums as. are spent on the building of school buildings are un- called for. We needn’t have the most expensive schools; we should expend more on such items as teachers’ salaries. In concluding, Mrs. Neel ex- plained that registering is import- ant; also, one should definitely register with one party, and not as a non-partisan. The services of those who are too young to regis- ter are needed, most especially for canvassing, which is essential to politics everywhere. ENGAGEMENTS Emma Cadwalader, ’53, to John Bunker.
