A rainbow always forecasts

Jane Miller Heads
Curric. Committee

Have you often wished that you
had some way of doing more than
merely complaining about the cur-!
riculum in the various departments
of work there at Bryn Mawr? You
can—the Curriculum Committee is
an organization which meets for

 

er problems of changing exam
rules,. alterations in major work
programs, etc,

Composed of a _ student from
each department, elected by those
majoring in that particular sub-
ject, the Curriculum Committee
meets regularly with the faculty
and administration to act as liai-
son. between the students and the
members of the Faculty Curricu-
lum Committee.

The elections for the new mem-

Chester Bowles Urges ‘Unconditional’ Aid For Asia
Final Lecture- Advocates Faith and More U. $. Unity

To build a policy “Not. out of
fear but out-of-faith, not by cynics
ibut by idealists”, to capture the
glory of the past of our country
and to aim for the rebirth of sim-
ple moral principles, that is our
job in Asia,

In the last lecture of six in the
Anna Howard Shaw series Chester
Bowles discussed the hows and
wherefores of a correct United
States: Asian policy, one that would
fulfill these aims. This talk,
“American policy in Asia” took
place Tuesday, April 26 in Good-
hart and the discussion was con-
tinued with a question period in
the Common Room.

To fulfill these aims in the com-
plex world of today is not a sim-
ple thing. We wish “while look-
ing at all the tanks and guns that
they could be built into hospitals
instead, but that is not possible”.
Therefore we must do our best to
make specific, and often stop-gap,
policies to do the correct thing.

In dealing with Russia herself
there are three fronts on which
we must be cautious. (We must

Few Blood Donors
Go To Bloodmobile

On Monday, April 26, the Red
Cross Bloodmobile visited the Bryn
Mawr Gymnasium, to collect blood
donations from the college and_vi-
cinity.

Of the nearly eight hundred stu-
dents at Bryn Mawr, approximate-
ly six percent signed up for dona-
tions, and the total number of
blood donors reached about sev-
enty, some quarter of which were
from the town of Bryn Mawr rath-
er than campus.

Information concerning the poor
showing of students was gathered

 

from the Bloodmobile station and|-

various people around campus,
who informed us that many poten-
tial donors were denied the oppor-
tunity to give blood because, being
minors, they needed. parental per-
mission which, in most cases, was
refused.

On the whole, however, despite
the small:percentage of student
donors, the showing at the Blood-

{+ mobile this. year exceeded that of

last Spring.

keep up with the development of
new weapons, no matter how odi-
ous that may be so that she will
not get too far ahead of us. We
must be careful not to push her
into invasion by our unintentional
actions and our great balance of
power, And, thirdly, we must not
appear so weak and divided among
ourselves that the temptation of
sure success will lead Russia to
invade.

In the very touchy area of Asia
Mr. Bowles, the former Ambassa-
dor to India, suggested his own
“Five point program” for United
ptates policy.

The purpose of all these points,
whether they are in the field of
economics, political, or internation-
al relations is to build up the in-
digenous strength of the people.
We must stop associating their op-
position to communism and. their

willingness. to fight it with their.

agreement with the United States
on all issues,

We must try to build up within
the country, a pride in their na-
tional identity and accomplishment
and a desire to protect this new
won freedom from outside attack.
Therefore, though at the beginning
they may not seem to agree with
us “These nations, as they devél-
op, will begin (naturally) to see
eye to eye with us”, that is with-
out being coerced into it.

Naturally we need to adopt some
sort of temporary program to deal
with the emergency in some parts
of Asia today. In countries such
as Indo-China we are in immediate
danger.

tition. But even in this situation

We therefore must think

we must remember the third and
fourth points in Bowles’ program
for policy.

The third point is for the United
States to adopt the correct policy

is alive in the minds of Asians
and alive even more on the contin-
ent of “Africa. We are inviting
trouble if we do not take action in

as the situation stands now.
Therefore the thing we must do

is to adopt a policy critical of col-

Bowles Underlines
Situations In Asia

“The explociveness of Southeast-
ern Asia stems from the fact that
our diplomacy is out of touch with
what the people are working for.
Instead of understanding their
feelings we have forced them to
identify themselves with America
or pay the consequences of losing
our aid.” es

Chester Bowles emphasized this
point in his address on “American
Efforts in Asia” before a captiva-
ted audience in Goodhart Hall Mon-
day night at 8:30 p. m.

In examining American interven-
tion in Southeast Asia, Mr. Bowles
went on to point out. that we. have
cofitinually forced the Asians to
commit themselves as pro or con
America. Diplomatically they have
had no choice but to answer “nei-

Skinner, April 23, 8:00 p. m.
About the only things missing
from Arts Night were an exhibit
of soap carvings and a perform-
ance on ham-bones. A well pro-
portioned program of drama, dance
and music combined with' an art
exhibit provided a-delightfully im-
teresting and enjoyable evening.

The best was saved for last, on
the program, with the presentation
of “Ajax (alias Aias—after Soph-
ocles)”, a semi-modern, wholly
farcical rendition of the - Greek
tragedy. .The dialogue had been
previously recorded and the actors
did their parts in pantomime.

Cast of “Ajax”

Charlotte , Busse was a slinky,
black-gloved Athena to Liz Gor-
don’s voice and Dave -Harper was
Odysseus, a la Foreign Intrigue,
with the voice of Robert Glatzer.
The hero, Ajax, wild and power-
ful, was played by Fritz Janschka,
who spoke with the sonorous voice
of Warner Berthoff. Anne Wyc-
koff, with the voice of Jo Case,
was an intense and tormented Tec-
messa. .

‘The cast also included a suit-
ably serious Greek chorus compos-
ed of Tam Birchfield, Connie Hicks
and a slightly delinquent, very
funny Ilse Shapiro. Robert Glatzer
played the Messenger.

 

Arts Night Features Grecian Farce!

Dancers, Autoharpist Also Highlighted

‘and, to say the least, exotic. It was
‘done by Fritz Janschka, who also
directed the play.

| There were three dance solos
and one dance-play ‘‘Love Perhaps,
or a Baby Bird” written and chore-
ographed by Anne Mazick. The
dancers, Evelyn Boverman, Eliza-
beth Klupt and Anne Mazick, also
spoke the lines.

Dance Solos
There were some quite lovely

but the lines tended to sound too
self-consciously beautiful. The
dancing was competent although
the variety of its content was ham-
pered by the fact that the perform-
ers had to make themselves heard.
Mary Vorys danced to “Ode. on
a Grecian Urn”, by. John Keats. It
was spoken by Patricia Moran.
This solo was graceful and well-
spaced. Much “of the movement
seemed to be based on the poses of
the figures seen in Grecian art and
proved to be highly successful. °

Sitwell Fantasy

In contrast to the more serious
tone of Keats was the dance solo
by Evelyn Boverman, inspired by
Edith Sitwell’s fanciful and fan-
tastic poem, “Lily O’Grady”. This
composition was relaxed and in-
ventive, complimented by a bright
and startling costume. The ac-
