VOL. XLIX, NO. 8 ‘ ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1952 Copyright, Trustees of Bryn Men College, 1952 PRICE 20 CENTS Dr. Ehiot Sees Universal Need | For Child Help Dr. Martha M. Eliot reviewed the needs of the “Children in the Community”, and the Bryn Mawr Child Development Conference reached its climax in Goodhart on Friday evening. Miss McBride presided and told of the present state of the Col- lege’s thirty-year policy of coop- erating with the community for the benefit of the children. With the aid of Mr. Philip Koopman, Superintendent of the Lower Mer- ion Township Public Schools, who has guided the Child Study Insti- tute in its relations with the com- munity, the program has come te include school board, college, com- munity agencies, and educators all working together. After telling briefly the history of West House, the new center for child study on campus, and of the Phebe Anna Thorne School, Miss McBride introduced Dr. Eliot as a person who could carry through an ambitious program such as that now facing those interested in child welfare. The task of the country is, said Dr. Eliot, the raising of good citi- zens who will have a worldwide outlook and will make possible peace in the future. Children must learn, and it is not_only the par- _.ents who can teach them. Every . phase of life affects the child, and itis the responsibility of the vot- ing public to make the environ- ment impinging upon the youth the best possible in terms of ex- perience. Parents must have some place _ to turn for advice in the long task of developing individual worth by providing the necessary advantag- es. The child should be free to Jgrow, Dr. Eliot stated, for arrest- ing maturation at any stage can result in a block and, even if over- come, may weaken the foundation for future stages. The growth Continued on Page 5, Col. 3 Child Development Group Emphasizes Guidance Problems The members of the Child De- velopment Conference met on the evening of Friday, November 14, in the Deanery, to summarize the findings of the workshop sessions. Mrs. Cox, director of the Child Study Institute at Bryn Mawr, conducted the meeting. Mrs. Ruth Bacon spoke about the early childhood years, in which the foundation for creative citizen- ship should be laid. She said that it is during the early years that the child’s personality develops, and he will not become a mature citizen unless his early needs of love and discipline are satisfied. The child cannot be expected to learn cooperation or friendliness if Continued on Page 2, Col. 4 Renowned Scientist G.Gaylord Simpson To Lecture on Man “Man, alone among all organ- isms, knows that he evolves and he alone is capable of directing his own evolution.” So wrote Mr, George Gaylord Simpson in The Meaning of Evolution, in a chap- ter entitled “Man’s Place in Na- ture”. On Monday evening, No- vember 24, Mr. Simpson will speak in Goodhart Hall under the spon- sorship of Bryn Maw rCollege and the Committee on the Coordination of the Sciences, on this same sub- ject, “Man’s Place in Nature.” .Mr. Simpson is Curator of Fossil Mammals and Birls at the Amer- ican Museum of Natural History Dean of the Science Staff and pro- fessor of vertebrate paleontology at Columbia University. He is one of the foremost scientists in the country in his field, and has re- cently been highly honored for his work. On November 15, 1952 the Geological Society of America awarded him the Penrose Medal for “eminent research in pure ge-: ology”.

For the last five years Arts “Night has offered the hidden tal- ent on campus a chance to become discovered. Musically overcoming the ab- “gence of three members, the Bryn ' Mawr Octangle opened the pro- gram with the songs so familiar ‘to undergraduates but probably “new to alumnae. Despite the per- ’ formers’ at times apparent uncer- tainty without the missing sing- ers, the songs—including “Who”, “Stairway to Paradise,” the Ger- - man oral version of “I never See Maggie Alone,” and the popular “Lets Do It”—were thoroughly en- * joyable because of the spirit in which they were sung. ; Mary Vorys_ performed her own choreography for the sequence “Ase’s Death” from the Pere Gynt Suite. Dressed in black, she repre- sented Peer mourning at his mother’s grave. Although toward the middle of the sequence the choreography became more stereo- typed. and uncertain, especially poignant was her interpretation of the mourner reaching out toward his mother but pulling back from the grave, from the fact of her death. Not even prayer could re- solve the conflict in his mind; the dancer’s final attitude is one of deep and eloquent despair. A speakeasy in the ’40’s was the scene in Laura Lee Stearns’ read- ing of Dorothy Parker’s monologue Just One More. The actress did amazing work with her props—a table, chair, and empty glass.

Besides Miss McBride, students Emma Cadwalader, Mari- lyn Muir, Marilyn Reigle, and Louise Kimball spoke. Miss. McBride stated that in mountain climbing “as soon as you get to the top of one peak you see another,” and compared this phen- omenon with the problems with which the faculty has been pre- sented in the past ten years es- pecially. “It is unsatisfactory work because’ you can see how much ‘}more there is to do.” In this work the students and faculty have shown much integrity. The faculty has been given many awards out- side the college, and since there are practically no research funds in the College, research done by the faculty is on their own time and is highly competitive. The curriculum has been great- ly expanded during the last ten years, especially in the fields of Russian, religion, medieval studies, anthropology, and the nursery ‘School. The next project will be expansion of studies on the Far East, an important aspect of con- temporary thought which has been greatly neglected by the College until now. Concerning expansion in building, Miss McBride said that such buildings as Park-and- Grad- uate Center were very fortunately built in the ’30s at a “time of bedrock prices.” Recently, since prices have gone up, most of the money has gone into renovation rather than building, for example the Applebee barn which the Col- lege “hopes to have done by Continued on Page 6, Col. 1 OFFICERS The Freshman class is happy to announce the following elec- tions: Vice Smith.

The method of teaching chemis- try at Bryn Mawr was the subject of Mr. Berliner’s speech.

They were in- troduced by Eleanor Marquand De- lanoy, 19, first Vice-president of the Alumnae Association, Mrs. Cox told the group of the purpose and objectives of the Child Study Institute. The service of the Community is the immedi- ate aim. The Institute provides a psychological and guidance clinic for children. in cooperation with the Lower Merion Township Schools, and is partly subsidized by them. Last year, the instituie served 426 children, offering nv. only psychological testing ani guidance, but counselling and so- cial case workers. Second, the Institute is directed towards preparing better teachers for children. Through the college Education and Psychology Depart- ments, it attempts to give Bryn Mawr students valuable training in educational methods. In addi- tion, it seeks to train students in counselling methods for aiding confused children. The third objective is directed towards training students for com- munity citizenship. The student can learn to cope with the prob- lems she might face as a board member of clinics and other civic organizations, thus enabling her to take an active and intelligent part in community life. In addition, the knowledge of family manage- ment and child care offered to the student through the Child Study Institute will prepare her for her own family life. It is directed to- wards bridging the gap between college life and family experience.

Somer- set Maugham’s comedy of manners, The Circle, which the College The- atre has chosen as its next presen- tation. Best known as a novelist, Maugham has written many fine plays. The most famous of these are The Circle and The Constant Wife, a later success. The Circle ‘made its debut in New York at the Selwyn Theatre on September 12, 1921. Its first run was its greatest, and the suc- cess was due in part to the stars, Mrs. Leslie Carter and Mr. John Drew. After playing in New York for six months the company went on a tour which continued until spring. The most recent Broad- Drama Clubs Select ‘The Circle’ on Upper Cass Laura Lee Stearns, °56 way production was in May, 1938, at_The Playhouse. Tallulah Bank- head and Grace George claimed the stellar roles. There has been no revival of The Circle with a tremendous run, al- though the play is extremely pop- ular in London repertoires and American summer theatres. The satire of upper class life has made it a modern classic, and its popu- larity can be attributed to the sure technique of Maugham’s charac- terizations. The play does not hinge upon clever situations, but rather upon clever characteriza- tion, and therein lies its lasting merit. The Bryn Mawr College Theatre and the Haverford College Drama Club are presenting The Circle as their second play of the year. Per- formances will be Friday and Sat- urday nights, December 5 and 6.

Activities In the past, there have been many references made to the “turning wheels” behind the scenes at Bryn Mawr. It is within this complicated system of institutional operation that the Alumnae work. Because what is done is for the benefit of every student, each of us should be objectively aware of. what on our campus we owe to Alumnae interest in Bryn Mawr and in us. , At present, there are fifty-four girls who, because of Alumnae regional scholarships, are enabled to study here. Thirty years ago these scholarships were begun. Through local benefits, sales, and a generous giving of time, the re- gions have maintained their interest in each class entering the school. In addition to this personal interest in each new class, the alumnae send gifts to the college for use in such projects as the Rare Book Room, the gift of the Class of 1912, The Friends of the Library is one of the latest Alumnae interests; by means of membership they obtain donations which not only provide new books but also are utilized with- in the Library itself, an opportunity by which every member of the student-faculty community benefits. Here, an avenue is open to all Alumnae and friends of Bryn Mawr, for there are annual memberships ranging from $5 to $250 as well as $1000 life memberships. As individual units, the graduated classes, the national - regions, the 208 project funds, and the specifically interested groups work separately and yet for a common cause, Bryn Mawr. The College Endowment is the whole of which they make up such a vital part.

Upheavals Miss Robbins, the speaker on Current Events for November 17, revealed many dramatic incidents which have occurred in the Us N. in the past week. The resignation of Trygvie Lie, the suicide of Mr, Feller, the stand America will take regarding foreign policy, European and foreign suspicion of the U. S., the fear and apprehension caused by the election of Eisenhower, the possibility of his reversal of deci- sions, the internal lack of co-oper- ation within the UN itself, are all questions contributing to the threatened deadloek in the U. N, Mr. Lie resigned because of ov- erwork, but also, added Miss Rob- bins, because he was not sufficient- ly supported. He said he was no longer acceptable to the Russians. Mr. Feller committed suicide be- cause of overwork and because “he was unhappy about the investiga- tions.” Yet, in a free country and in one maintaining good will, why 4| should Lie’s assistant kill himself? Russia’s Stand Unknown Miss Robbins stressed: the fact that recent happenings had been caused by American policy and not necessarily by Russia, whose stand in relation to warfare is not known. Miss Robbins pointed out out Russia’s re-armament program, but will Russia resort to the ex- ceedingly more beneficial and ec- onomic practice of allowing her en- emies to fight each other or does she not intend to fight at all? Colonial policy becomes increas- ingly more of an issue. [What is America’s stand on the revolt in Indo-China? The American bur- eauracy established in France is very unpopular, and Mr. Schuman, in a very forceful speech on Ar- mistice Day declared France was not getting the money she had asked for. She had spent twice as much money on Indo-China as the Marshall Aid plan allowed her. she herself was once in that posi- tion? Korean Position In Korea the postion is again not understood, and England fears greatly the war’s extension into China, for, like France, she has lost many lives and large funds. The question of Tunis and Mor- occo and the policy regarding the Arab-Asiatic world is becoming vitally important. Italy greatly fears another war, and Miss Rob- bins referred to “peace” signs she had noticed while touring Europe, signs which were bordered by the hammer and sickle sign. As regards the bad feeling about American financial aid, Miss Robbins feels sure that far better feelings would ensue if America paid out less money under the Marshall Plan and removed tariff restrictions. The removal of the latter would include the removal of distrust which England and Hol- land, the East, and other European countries have for the U. S. Another form of tariff restric- tions are immigration laws which prohibit a large number of the in- telligentsia from entering the U.S. in cases where there is the slightest ‘suspicion of communism. Miss Robbins feels that England, with Can America help crush a peoples | struggling for independence when School Must Aid Family In Development of Chitd Continued from Page 1 he is thwarted in basic needs, In- svead he may tend to be irritable and tense. it is not only the family that has a direct effect on the child’s char- acter, but also the school and com- munity. Just as family life should pring out the creativeness and in- dividuality of the child, so the school should teach him how to work with a group. A child cannot be expected to fit into any set pat- tern, but neither should developed talents be exploited. Most import- ant in childhood, is the fact that the child must accept himself, and see himself as’ an individual. - Miss Marion Sack, principal of Wayne Grammar School, explain- ed how a parent may use clinical psychology to know her child bet- ter. In this field, she stated, more would be accomplished if the teach- er as well as the parent could re- ceive results of guidance counsel- ing. It would prove advantageous to the child if the teacher knew the child well and worked in co- ordination with the parents. The clinical findings should integrate home and school instead of separ- ating them as so often happens. Emotional growth of the child was discussed by Mr. Robert Taber of the Philadelphia Board of Edu- cation. Here again, stress is on the individuality of the child. The parent, teacher, school, and psy- chiatrist all affect the child emo- tionally. Dr. Dehne, Superintendent of ‘Friends Hospital, talked of the pressure put on children. Often, when a parent feels anxiety, the tenseness is too easily passed on to the child. A parent has to be careful, too, not to assume that his ambitions and wishes are his child’s. Homes would be happier, Mr. Taber further remarked, if parenthood was considered the fine career that it is, The problems of adolescence were enumerated by Dr. Jean Franics, a counselor at Lower Merion High ‘School. She illus- trated the place of teacher, par- ent and community, comparing them with a baseball team: the parent, the owner, the school, the manager, and the community, the coach. Two teenagers told their ideas of the responsibilities of parent and teacher. They asked parents to be available, to accen- -tuate early discipline, to command and offer respect, and to be quick to praise but slow to criticize. Alumnae Guests Enjoy ‘Fantastic’ Opera Parody Continued from Page 1 recreated the murky atmosphere (“It is you sitting next to me, isn’t it Fred?”) and the friendly, lone- ly, finally maudlin sentiments of a woman getting drunker, sip by sip. Anne Mazick and Liz Klupt next gave a dance suite whose original choreography was inspired by three poems by E. E. Cummings. The first was a delightful picture of Spring which Anne Mazick characterized in the children’s play and her interpretation of phrases like “mud-luscious”, Most. enjoy- able was her treatment of the “little lame balloon man” who whistles “far and wee”; the slow sadness of the lame man’s gait in her interpretation was subtly re- solved to the mischievous spirit of the “goat-footed balloon man” who whistles “far and wee.” In the second poem, Liz Klupt described the autumn—“the wind has blown the world, the sky, and the leaves away”—with grace and directness. The third was an interpretation: of love and the lover’s feelings— “forever was never till now’. Both dancers were assisted by Leslie Kaplan who read this selection. ‘The dancers themselves read the other two selections which gave the dances an elusive, personal quality. She Who Gets Squeezed, inspir- ed by the opera The Love for Three Oranges, is practically im- possible to describe. Presented in a fantastical setting, the basic story seemed to be of two oranges who were squeezed while duelling over the third orange who gets stabbed by the prop man. The performance was_ highly original (including sound effects put together by the author-actors on a tape recorder) and a com- pletely enjoyable end to the eve- ning’s entertainment. The per- formers were Candy Bolster, Char- lotte Busse, Doris Kaizer, and So- fia Liljencrants. Informality was the keynote of the whole evening. The size of the Workshop contributed some to the friendly feeling between audi- ence and entertainers; on the whole, Arts Night gave the im- pression of an evening when ac- tors and spectators both got to- gether to relax and simply enjoy themselves. Continued from Page 1 Chair of Philosophy and Religion was Mr. MacGregor’s topic. Fol- lowing a summary of the mate- rial covered and the objectives of each of the four courses in the department, he noted that discus- sions in the beginning Philosophy course evince a strong religious interest in the average student. It is this interest which the Religion courses attempt to develop and en- courage. The aim of the depart- ment is to engender in the student intellectual honesty, a love of truth, and a deepened religious conviction. It attempts to teach the student to interpret and compare ideas, seeking an objective charac- ter of thought. Pointing out the problems faced in attempting to remain objective in any liberal investigation, Mr. MacGregor stated that we must Le ane, wah FE Cox Shows Practical Aspects of Child Studies; MacGregor Outlines Religion Department’s Goals interests.” Therefore, absolute ob- jectivity is beyond our powers in science and art, no less than in re- ligion. We must accept the best views we can form, recognizing that relative knowledge is the only right form of knowledge. The objectivity towards which the secular college, as compared with the denominational college rightly strives should .not be re- garded as an attitude of arrogance in knowledge, a refusal to admit wrong. A Bryn Mawr that was secular in this sense would be as dogmatic and obscurantist in its scientism or its humanism (for these are religions too) as a col- lege that was “religious” in the worst possible sense. Christianity stressed the relativity of knowl- edge long before scientism or hu- manism were there at all. If all faith perished, stated Dr. MacGregor, so would all intellec- tual activity, for there is no desire for knowledge without some kind of faith. The value of all knowl- edge lies in its being able to pro- vide a criticism of itself, and all that Christians can hope to do is _to criticize their own thinking they may “Think God’s after Him.” . Wednesday, November 19, 1952 THE COLLEGE NEW Page Three ‘Don Juan Shows Actors’ Importance Due to Fine Performing, No Scenery by Kay Sherman, 754 The dominant characteristic of Paul Gregory’s production of Don Juan in Hell is the amazing flex- ibility of its staging. It is pro- duced as a reading, with the four, characters, Charles Boyer as Don Juan, Vincent Price as the Devil, | Cedric Hardwicke as The Statue, ' and Agnes Moorehead as Donna’ Anna, in dinner dress, seated on high stools, with their scripts be- fore them. It would seem difficult for the actors to call forth the nec- | assary mental power from the au-. dience to provide an imaginary setting. But clever utilization of the very apparel of the characters, of the simple props, and of subtle | pantomime, make the use of any other mediums unnecessary. But the staging would be of no’ value had not the actors made un- usual and clever use of the facili- ties at hand. Agnes Moorehead’s indignant flip of the page of her script as her father reminds her that now he is her junior in age, and Hardwicke’s pinch-nosed per- usal of his eyeglasses as he in- tones that heaven is full of posi- tion-minded Englishmen, are only two examples. The pantomime and expressions of all four of the actors were su- perb, although Boyer tended in the beginning of the piece to appear blank and expressionless rather than weary and bored. Agnes Moorehead’s portrayal of the trans- formation of Donna Anna from a 77-year-old to a beauty of 27 was excellent, and her conceited primp- ing before an imaginary mirror caused one to look twice before re- alizing that a mirror was lacking. , Hardwicke’s statuesque bearing never quite unbent, even when he was most bewildered by the long philosophical arguments. (Perhaps one of the most delight- ful surprises about the production was Vincent Price’s portrayal of the Devil. It is a great task to fill: Charles Laughton’s shoes, but Vincent Price’s suave, smooth voice, in addition to his Satanic appearance, filled the bill.

Do you have defin- ite ideas on a BP soul you would like to defend against recog- nized leaders in that field? The new TV program, Junior Press Conference, has found a way for college students to fulfill these aims with a half hour show pre- senting a panel of four students to ask questions of a recognized lead- er in one field. The subjects dis- cussed are controversial, such as politics or whether college foot- ball is a sport or a business and ones that would interest college students, while the experts that will appear include Justice Doug- las, Senator McCarthy and General Omar Bradley. In order for this type of pro- gram to succeed it must be plan- ned and run by the students them- selves, for only then will it honest- ly have appeal for the students. There have been meetings of mem- bers of colleges in this ‘area to talk to Mrs. Hagy, organizer and mod- erator of the show, and to offer their criticism and advice. The idea is a good one, but it needs student help and participa- tion to be a success. Listen to and see the program at 11:30 Sunday morning on [WFIL-TV and see what you think of it.

Charles Boyer’s performance, if judged by his long speeches, par- ticularly the denunciation of Sat- an’s friends, was laudable. Never- theless, in the beginning of the piece and in his shorter speeches, one was acutely aware that he had been playing the part for months on end. His interpretation of the longer passages, however, more ' than justified his performance. Cedric Hardwicke’s part as the Commander is a difficult one to play. He is obviously in the part mainly to afford comic relief. But to accomplish this purpose, to Cantinued on Page 4, Col. 3 Yugoslav Student To Audit Classes Mr. Kazimir Vidas, student of economics at the Zagreb Univer- sity in Yugoslavia, is visiting Bryn Mawr today and tomorrow. Invited to visit the United States by the N.S.A. and W.S.S.F. to study American colleges and their student governments for six months, Mr. Vidas is spending this month in the Philadelphia region. During his stay at Bryn Mawr he will speak to the League board- and the Alliance Association as well as attend classes. At 7:15 Thursday night he will speak in- formally in the Common Room un- der the auspices of the I.R.C. in conjunction with the Alliance. Mr. Vidas’ visit is part of the at- tempt of the Alliance to bring to the campus people with many dif- ferent viewpoints on world prob- lems. He is a communist, and, therefore, represents an approach to world issues which we too often dismiss ‘but should try to under- stand, He has taken part in the activ- ities of student onganizations at Zagreb University since 1949 when he was elected secretary of the student union there. In 1950, he was one of the organizers and ad- ministrators of the working camp for foreign and Yugoslav students in the Student City near Zagreb, Dubrava. In 1951, he was elected president of the student union of Zagreb and a member of the cen- tral committee of the Student Union of Yugoslavia. During the summer of 1952, he was administrator of the working camp for foreign students near Rijeka. He has been in England, Sweden, Norway and Denmark as a representative of the Student Union of Jugoslavia. Student Teachers Offer Instruction The annual classes which the League provides for the Maids and Porters are in session again. These classes, given in fields re- quested by the maids and porters, are taught by students. Meetings are held weekly at 8:30 p.m. At present the courses being given are as follows: Spanish: instructor, Joyce Greer English: instructor, Lynne Du- chauney Knitting: instructor, Mary Kay Cooper Current Events: instructor, Bar- bara Goldman The Current Events classes be- gan the year with several lectures by Mr. Peter Bachrach. There is now a need for a quali- fied First Aid instructor. If you are interested, contact Nancy Tep- per, Rhoads South. Individual Meetings ‘two teams of Rosemont College, ‘lack of rushing in the striking .was excellent. Bryan Green Plans Canon Bryan Green was at Bryn Mawr last December, and since that time he has been travelling not only in the United States, but | also to the Gold Coast of Africa,’ pack to his home in Birmingham, | Kngland, and now he is coming back to Bryn Mawr to renew old triendships and to make new ones. The date of his arrival will be Tuesday, December 2, and he will be on campus two days for an in- formal visit with the students and faculty. Bryan Green is an -evangelist for the Church of England. He is known as one of the greatest, if not the greatest speaker of his kind. He is Canon of the Cathe- dral of Birmingham, England. Small Gatherings Bryan Green’s previous visit consisted mainly of large meet- ings held late at night but the em- phasis this year is on smaller, more informal gatherings and dis- cussions. During his visit, Canon Green would like very much to get acquainted with the students ot Bryn Mawr on an individual basis. From 9:30 a. m. to 1:00 p. m. on Tuesday there will be oppor- tunities for small groups to talk informally with Bryan Green. If anyone would like to speak to him personally, she is asked to make arrangements with Bryan Green either at this time or after one of the discussions. Meals in Halls The Chapel Committee has plan- ned that Canon Green will eat lunch and dinner on Tuesday and Wednesday in the residence halls. He will eat in a different hall for each meal in order to allow more students to meet him. On Tuesday afternoon at 4:30, there will be tea and discussion in the Common Room. All students are invited. There will be meetings both Tuesday and Wednesday evenings in the Music Room. The meeting on Tuesday will begin at 8:30 p. m. and the Wednesday meeting will be at 7:30 p. m. Following these talks there will be discus- sion in the Common Room. Sports by Mary Jane Chubbuck, 55 Happy days are here again! Both Bryn Mawr teams came off the fields victorious last Tuesday afternoon. They played against one of which played well and put up a fight, one of which had spirit but lacked teamwork. The varsity game was a swift and low-scoring one. The score, 2-0, indicates the circle. However, the teamwork and stickwork of the Bryn Mawr team The first half of the junior var- sity game was very sloppy, with much wild driving and careless passing on the part of both teams, In the second half the Bryn Mawr forward line started sparking and rolled up a score of 12 goals to Rosemont’s none. There was real teamwork on the field and it is a pleasure to write about it. The line-up was: Leon H.

Ruth Geri Hagy was moderator. Sir Percy C. Spender, Austra- lian ambassador to the United States and chief delegate to the General Assembly of the United Nations, acted in the capacity of authority on Southeast Asia, the main topic of discusion. The four- member panel, manned by Elmer Brock of LaSalle, Peter Kenan of Columbia, Helen Rogers of Cath- olic University, and Tod Mikuriya of Haverford, assailed Sir Percy with a steady barrage of questions. Lie Resignation The discussion opened with a question concerning the resigna- tion of Trygve Lie. Sir Percy de- clared that he knows nothing more than the public concerning this is- sue, but feels certain that a new Secretary General, once agreed upon by the Big Five, could do lit- tle more than his predecessor in settling the Korean situation, for “the issue is the fundamental dif- ferences between East and West.” Concerning anti-United States sentiments in Europe and Asia due to aid from NATO and the Point Four Program, he stated that little exists. Communist agents play up the actually small amount for purposes of propaganda. “There is not such a fundamental cleavage between Asia and the United States.” However, “no na- tion will ever have any other na- tion telling it what to do.” Columbo Plan In 1950 Sir Percy acted as lead- ing agent in drawing up the Co- lumbo Plan of alliances in South- east Asia, similar to the North At- lantic Treaty. This was extended to all Asiatic nations, but few ex- pressed any real interest. As a result, Australia made pacts with only three nations—New Zealand, Japan, and the Philippines. The original intent of the Columbo Plan has Been lost due to the feel- ing that military alliances will solve the world situation. Suc- cess can come only through the efforts of world organizations with military, economic, and all other types of aid. Tod MiKuriya,.a Japanese-Amer- ican, questioned Sir Percy concern- ing the Australian appeal for farmers to Japanese-Americans settled along the West Coast. ‘Why not appeal directly to over- populated Japan for migration?” Australians are faced with the problem of cheap labor, and a pos- sible upsetting of the nation’s economy and standard of living. Does Australia agree to the re- armament of Japan as a protec- tion against Red China? Austra- lia has already signed a treaty in agreement to Japanese rearma- ment, but once that rearmament becomes so great as to threaten Varsity Jr. Varsity Piedad G. Borneman Fosnacht R.B.

Keyserling’s answer tO wasn’t one after World War II when the defense outlay was cut much more.” Questioned about future employ: ment, in connection with depres- sion, Mr. Keyserling said that he could be quoted as saying: “There will be very high levels of employ- ment in the next calendar year— not recession.” He said that we should see within a year if his pre- ‘diction was right. Several reasons which he gave to back up his state- ‘ment were that we have @# lot of |stabilizers which we didn’t have before; that we have an extensive tax system; that we have a large budget; and very important—that politically, no administration in 'power would allow unemployment to go on without taking steps. When Leon Keyserling was ask- ed about the possibility of lower- ing taxes, he quoted Holmes: “*Taxes are the price we pay for 'civilization’.” He added that they ‘gan and should be reduced when possible, but that they cannot and should not when there gs a deficit. Parity Prices Do parity prices in agriculture benefit our economy? to which query Mr. Keyserling answered that they naturally interfere with the free-play of our economy, but that they are an improvement over no protection for farmers. In answer to the question about the relationship of the Council of Economic Advisors with the pres- ident and the cabinet, Mr. Keyser- ling replied that it is a close rela- tionship and that they work quite closely, “as it should be in any true administration.” Away from economic affairs and on the personal side—Mr. Keyser- ling likes Bryn Mawr very much even after so short a visit. “I think Bryn Mawr is terrific!” he added. When asked how he liked speaking ‘to a ‘Bryn Mawr audience, he re- plied that it was a very enjoyable ,experience. “I only wish it could have been longer.” Education Students Face E.T.S.

Measures Like BMC’s Berliner Justifies Science Course Requirement; Dudden Emphasizes History Research Expansion Continued from Page 1 disciplined in the use of scientific method. x The science departments have the double problem of teaching the beginning course, which fulfills the science requirement, and the prep- aration of majors in the subject. Mr. Berliner emphasized his belief that the best beginning course for the major is also the best begin- ning course for the non-major. While general science courses can be very worthwhile if they are well-taught, they often fall into just a history of scientific advance- ment which leaves the student with no true understanding of scientific method. Beginning Chemistry In the beginning chemistry course, the students are introduced to the “real stuff”, not just broad generalizations. Although the course may be difficult for some students, Mr. Berliner feels that there ought to be some challenge in education, and that the student who cannot meet this challenge is not of college caliber. Preparing a student majoring in chemistry presents a different type of problem: that of how much concentration in a subject should be allowed within the framework of a liberal arts education. A strong major, not complete spec- ialization, is not opposed to the idea of liberal arts. It guarantees that the student does not go from course to course without really understanding anything thorough- ly; but it gives the student a good foundation upon which she can continue in graduate work, medical schools, or in a job. Cultural Heritage Mr. Berliner also emphasized that the study of science does cre- ate an awareness of our cultural heritage. It can play as much a part in creating this awareness as the study of the humanities. He concluded by saying that the stu- dent well-prepared in science can- not help but apply some of the sci- entific method and expansion of her intellectual capacities to her life after college. Mr. Dudden chose as his empha- sis the expansion in research in American history. Additional ma- terial and events of the present day and publication and_ re- search on newly discovered mater- ial of the past have added greatly to the understanding and enlarge- ment of scope of American his- tory. The idea of what constitutes history has changed too. Former- ly it was considered a study of past politics, with undue emphasis placed on chronology. The new conception stresses economic, s0- cial, scientific, and cultural affairs. The past must be understood, not memorized. Plea for Research In accordance with this new con- cept, Mr. Dudden made a plea for emphasis and research on special sections of history, ‘First, he ask- ed for better business history. The United States has been primarily a middle-class, business society since before the Civil ‘War. Yet, we know little about business; and what we do know is based on bi- ased material, where as it should be based on the correspondence, speeches, and business letters of employers and employees. Local history should also be stressed. By local history, Mr. Dudden means not antiquarian trivialities such as where George Washington slept, but the local patterns of justice, education, in- dustrial activitiy and urban life. He would like a study on the level seikiiceieai Nek eg A Sdanb ae i aes of education and the people in our government, of the political behav- ior of different people, of the mass of common law accumulated on the local level, and of the develop- ment of urban communities. Additional study of the problem of Negro slavery and the causes of the Civil War is likewise need- ed. The Civil War tore the nation in a way in which it probably could never be torn again and still sur- vive. For that reason, it is nec- essary to examine and understand its causes so that we can avoid another. Ethics of History Mr. Dudden ended with an em- phasis on the ethics of history. The historian should not present the facts in such a way as to twist them in order to suit his purposes. This is being done by many today, such as Senator McCarthy; but the. true historian must be truthful and present the facts correctly. Continued from Page 1 | process, however, allows flexibil- ity, and damage can be repaired by trained personnel. There are more children in the United States than ever before, and fortunately most have a se- cure family life and can attend school. There are many _ excep- tions, though, and it is here that the child welfare services can help most. There are always children with and those who know no real home. Schools are crowded, and 33,000 new classrooms will be needed to accommodate the increased popu- lation. Health and medical serv- ices are still inadequate, and the youth are not able to get the best known treatments. There is in- equality in the services offered by different states, and to remedy this the local, state and federal governments must cooperate. broken or insecure homes, Medical progress has reduced the death rate among mothers and children, and the handicapped are finding a place in the welfare pro- grams, but there is also the tre- mendous problem of psychiatric care. Juvenile delinquency is ris- ing again, and these children must be helped in the early stages of a..ti-social behavior. ‘Courts and law enforcers should have the ad- vice of trained psychiatrists. The best approach, however, is one which enables the child to grow up feeling secure and with- our aggression or drives. The basis of this is the firm mother-child relationship, es- pecially in the first few years of life. Parents, said Dr. Eliot, want to do the best for their children and at times need help. The Children’s Bureau has pub- lished a booklet containing the main points gathered from the iMid-century (White House Confer- | anti-social | ence on Children, and from this parents can learn the needs of children at various ages. By sup- plying these needs, the parents can help the child to develop into a trusting individual. There should be more programs like Bryn Mawr’s, Dr. Eliot added, for this type of college-community coop- eration can be most beneficial. On a broader plane, certain steps must be taken if the child - welfare plans are to succeed. More trained workers are needed, and economic barriers must be broken down so that all areas may gain from increased research. The program, if it is to be suc- cessful, must have the backing of the public. Many people realize the child’s need for the proper con- tacts, for limitations that will en- able him to develop gradually, ses- curely, loved by parents who feel satisfied wth their role of parent- hood.

A group of people from various walks of life was organized to smoke only Chesterfields. For six months this group of men and women smoked their normal amount of Chesterfields— 10 to 40 a day. 45% of the group have smoked Chesterfields con- tinually from one to thirty years for an average of 10 years each.

Miss McBride concluded that ex- pansion can only be accomplished by the persistence, daring, and de- votion of the students and faculty as well as the confidence which the faculty, board, and students have in each other. Mrs. Scattergood then introduc- ed the student speakers who ex- plained how extracurricular activ- ities enter into the topic of Widen- ing Horizons. Emma Cadwalader spoke on The College News and the Athletic Association. She ex- plained the part of the News in presenting and coordinating col- ‘lege activities and also informing readers of the opinions of students and faculty on national topics such as the pros and cons of the recent presidential candidates. The Ath- letic Association has a wide variety of activities. Emma mentioned that “Perhaps all you (alumnae) remember our calisthenics and Miss Applebee’s favorite, water polo.” But athletics now is not “just building muscles.” The stu- dents now schedule events with the help of the coaches, are revising the constitution, are interested in the Applebee Barn as a much need- ed recreation center, and are con- cerned with the clubs such as the Outing Club of which “Princeton seems to be the main objective.” Emma concluded that knowledge on the hockey field is equally im- portant to that in the major field in widening the student’s horizons. - Marilyn Muir spoke about the Alliance, the League and_ the World Students Service Fund. Such activities as the recent Pak- istan weekend, sponsored by the Alliance, show its import in mak- ing students and faculty acquaint- ed with national and international affairs. The League also offers opportunities for students to know conditions in the world, with such which incorporates the six lange organizations as the Haverford Work Camp, where Marilyn tried her hand at plastering ceilings, and at the same time became ac- quainted with different social stan- dards and received practical exper- ience, — Marilyn Reigle spoke on Self-| Government and said that in her perusal of old rule books she had found most of the. changes super- ficial; for example the changes in attitudes towards men, and wine in the rooms. The real expansion was done when Self-Gov was first cre- ated. She said that it is hard to produce material evidence for the accomplishments of Self-Gov that they are mostly sporadic and that “Self-Gov has been incorporated in the traditions of Bryn Mawr.” Its strength comes from the adminis- tration which guides but does not dictate, and from the students who are made to feel the responsibility of keeping the rules. The Execu- tive board copes with infringe- ments of the rules. Students brought before the Board are usu- ally filled with fear and shame and rarely does the same student ap- pear before the Board more than once. The President of Self-Gov sits on the (Undergrad Council campus organizations but has no leader of its own, having found that the groups are able to handle their work more successfully alone. Marilyn concluded that Self-Gov helps one in “defining one’s place in the community” and shows the reaction of students in emergen- cies and when they are reasoning under pressure, Louise Kimball summarized oth- er organizations on campus, par- ticularly those concerning academ- ic work, because “we do attend classes and study.” She emphasiz- ed the importance of the connec- tions between academic work and extra-curricular activities. “It is up to the students to extend the Economist Cautions Against American Aloofness; Global Betterment Demands Voluntary Interest Continued from Page 1 sion. In the post-war period, em- ployment was maintained and prosperity continued. Aware of this background, Mr. Keyserling emphasized that the “United States cannot withdraw and be aloof on its island of lux- ury and prosperity.” We must find a way for helping others to raise their standard of living, to at- tempt an equalization throughout the world, so that the organism may function as a whole. The success of such a policy is essen- tial to this country; “although averting a war is possible, as is ‘winning’ a (World War III, interna- tional problems extend beyond physical security.” Mr. Keyserling asserted that we will never fail by being strong and denounced the talk of “dangerous internal weaknesses” in economic policy as Communist propaganda. This is not a political matter, nor an issue between administrations: the changes to be made with a new party will not be noticeably sharp. With every administration, there will be the problem of preserving international unity. The United States is completely capable of either increasing or de- creasing its international respon- sibility, if foreign policy calls for it.

War II, or will be successful in combatting a sharp increase, such as that in the period preceding the Korean outbreak. Fortunately, there is equal resilience each way, the relative capacity to national production being about six per- cent per year without strain. “There can be no partisan credit given for this ability,’”’ continued the economist. Both public and private policies have been contrib- uting factors: large federal bud- gets have automatically contracted and expanded with private enter- prise—as an example, when pri- vate assets fell in 1949, taxes also fell. In addition, labor and man- agement are constantly learning more about economics in regard to markets, prices, and wages. Mr. Keyserling noted that the slight depression of 1949 had definite po- tential of being greater if indus- try had not had this awareness. This ability is responsible for the fact that the United States has fifty per cent production capacity of the free world, while having only six percent of the population, Our job now is to realize that other countries must be helped to rise on the economic scale; Mr. Keyserling feels it is the most practical policy we can follow. “The people of the United States must be generous and must learn that civilization did not start here, nor end elsewhere,” he con- cluded. Our aid, not in the sense of being Santa Claus or merely presenting gifts, will help to aid other free countries to increase their own material to bring up their production level. This type of economic policy will not only readjust world trade by making it more extensive and equalized, but will also reduce the cost of arma- ments in a world already troubled by international economic and po- litical problems. Gaylord Simpson States Concept of Man’s Place Continued from Page 1 numerous honors that he has re- ceived for this contributions to science. Included in the material which Mr. Simpson has published are not only technical scientific treatises but. also studies of the significance to man of the knowledge he has gained through science. The Mean- ing of Evolution, which might be classed in both of the above cate- gories, is a widely read study by Mr. Simpson of the hitsory of life and its significance for man. The few words that follow from his writings on man’s place in nature serve to stimulate interest in the lecture to come, and perhaps also indicate the importance and com- prehensibility of the subject mat- ter and of Mr. Simpson’s treat- ment of it. “Tt is important to realize that man is an animal, but it is even more important to realize that the essence of his unique nature lies precisely in those characteristics that are not shaded with any oth- er animal .. . The infantile fan- iasy of becoming whatever we wish as fast as we please is sim- ply unrealistic in a material cos- mos, but this is obviously no argu- ment against the fact that we do have a measure of conscious con- trol over what becomes of us.” Children’s Aid Provides Preparation for Future Continued from Page 5 If more people can have an op- portunity to minister to the needs of children there will be a new generation with a healthy outlook upon life and the resources neces- sary to make the world a better place for all because of under- standing and a desire for peace. ssi LLL a7 Z AND LOOK AT THAT O FOOTWORK!
