VOL. XLIV—NO. 24 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1959 © Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1959 PRICE 20 CENTS Seventy-fifth Approaches, Brings Fetes, Big College Procession in Full Regalia Bryn Mawr’s 75th academic year will be inaugurated formally at a special public convocation to be held in Goodhart Hall from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m., September 28: The asembly will be attended by all undergradugtes, graduate students, fellows, scholars, faculty members, alumnae representatives, and the Board of ‘Trustees. Mr. John R. Pruett, chairman of the 75th Anniversary Committee, explained that, since this convoca- tion. is to be the one public event of the ‘year, an effort has been made to plan the cellebration in ac- cordance with the desires of the student body. Thus, the commit- tee has met with student represen- tatives, and the present program is the result of agreement between them and the faculty. Music Added The convocation itself will be accompanied with music—a _ pro- cessional and recessional march. It will open with an invocation by Mr. Henry J. Cadbury and a short address by President Katherine McBride, returned from her sab- batical. The opening address will ibe delivered by Mr. John Gardner, head of the Carnegie Corporation and chairman of the Committee on Education under the Rockefel- - Jer Brothers Grant, Following the Convocation, Miss McBride will give a reception on Merion Green, to which all participants are invit- ed. Procession Highlight Probably the most striking fea- ture of the Convocation will be the procession to and from Goodhart, in which the entire campus will participate—this, Mr. Pruett add- ed, at the request of the students themselves . Marching in the pro- cessional is mandatory for stu- dents as well as faculty. Over the summer, each student will be sent a card and asked to indicate wheth- er she intends to take part. Per- mission to be absent must ‘be-ob- tained in advance from the Pres- ident or from Miss Biba. Rule ‘Necessary’ Such a rule is necessary, says ‘Mr, Pruett, who has had experi- ence with graduation processions, because of the limited seating ca- pacity of: Goodhart. The seats allotted to each class must be fill- ed, so as to avoid either an awk- ‘ward gap in the audience or, after the music has stopped, the last- minute interspersal of non-gowned visitors among capped and gowned students, which would detract from the formality of the occa- sion. Moreover, since the upper- classmen do not return to the col- lege until the day before the con- vocation, and the seating plan will e Seniors Compete | ee. e For Writing Prize (Manuscripts to be considered for the M.

In case of rain, the freshman, sophomoré, and junior classes will be excused from marching, but che procession itself will take place regardless of weather, It will probably extend as far as Senior Row, since the number of persons marching will be much larger than at Commencement time. The stu- dents will be the first to enter and the last to leave Goodhart, and this arrangement, as Mr. Pru- ett pointed out, means that they will have a ringside seat for the rest .of the procession which— since the professors will be in full academic regalia—should be a very colorful one.

Commencement address and the Gaylord Harnwell Will Be Speaker For Class of ‘59 Dr. Gaylord Harnwell, Com- mencement speaker for the class of ’59, is a Haverford graduate and the first physicist to head the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Harnwell, who, after gradu- ation from Haverford, worked in Cambridge University’s Cavendish Laboratory, Princeton, and Califor- nia Institute of Technology, was responsible for research leading to discoveries in the fields of mass spectroscopy, underwater sound, nuclear physics, and molecular -col- lisions im rare gases. During World War II he worked as Director of the University of California’s U. S. Navy Radio and Sound Laboratory, and in that ca- pacity made discoveries of prin- ciples-of undenwater sound which led to the development of sonar and earned for him the Medal of Merit, Background Traced Before his election to the presi- dency of the University of Penn- sylvania, Dr. Harnwell served as Chairman of its department of physics and professor of —radio- logical physics. He is presently a member of the National Research Council, the U. S. Navy Ordnance Laboratory, ‘Managers of the Franklin Insti- tute, as well as chairman of the Ordnance Committee of Research and Development Board of the De- partment of Defense and editor of the Review of Scientific Instru- ments. He is the author of Exper- imental Atomic Physics, Electricity and Magnetism, and Atomic Phys- ics. The Baccalaureate speaker, Mr. Krister .

Anne Eberle Much to the chagrin of upper- classmen who survived their geo- logy experience with cold, soggy, rainy field trips, ours was blessed with good weather. Since every al- lusion to “field trip” this year was ‘accompanied by some snort or wail about last year’s three days of rain, this was no mean accomplishment. We assembled in the seeming pre-dawn (8:15) Friday morning and boarded some rickety buses which took us all the way to Over- brook to fake out some transporta- tion legality. There we boarded two luxurious buses, which looked far less luxurious when we got off them Sunday. Northward Trek We started northward from Philadelphia and had just settled down to naps and other foolish bustime amusements when we sud- denly became aware (subtly, of larly efficient sound system in- stalled in each bus; there ended amusements and commenced things geological. For the first few stops, every-. a petition by several tons of mach- one eagerly grabbed sacks, picks, maps, cameras, notebooks and as- sorted other paraphernalia; we soon discovered that one either had hands for the equipment or for the functions they were supposed to perform, so more and more things were left behind until at the end of the trip the geologists themselves (basic equipment to say the least) barely dragged hemselves from tht bus. Friday’s Attractions Two main attractions on Friday were a slate quarry and lunch (stated in dutiful if not preferen- tial order.) Lunch was an invasion of a perfectly innocent unsuspect- ing motel-lunch-stand-type of place, which found its food fairly un- requested, as we had brought our own delicious, tasty, wholesome, tempting, and by now sat-on lunch, but soft drinks were most popular. The slate quarry had dirt; im- many other attractive features, such as workmen. Drs. Watson and Dryden soon gave up the lec- ture technique in the face of com- Sunny Days, Fossil Picking, Trilobites: Ach! The Joys of Geology Field Trips inery, and the curious young stu- dents were allowed to wander in their search for knowledge; they wandered to a mammoth pile of factory rejects and played tic-tac- toe on the slate slabs; they wan- dered into the cutting shed and did their best to say uncut; they wandered up to a man punching holes in the slate for roofing, and one asked the operator, “Do you do this all day? Just this?”; they wandered over to where the slabs were being loaded on trucks and asked, “What’re they for?” - “Oh, patios—that kind of thing.” “Gosh, just think of all the pat- ios in the world.” : < Karly Arising About 5:30 we raised a few eye- brows in the sleepy Penn-Stroud Hotel as we arrived in Stroudsburg in all our geologie glory, i. e. dun- gareed, uncombed and bearing half the remnants of Upper Pennsyl- | vania-embedded ‘in us... _- _~ Show Is ‘Brought to Life’, ‘Lack of Action’ Overcome “‘Heartbreak House,”’ Social Dirge by Shaw Wins Plaudits for Acting, Atmosphere very much needs to realize in what _ context Shaw was writing, to un- derstand what the play is talking about, though not to enjoy it. He took his example from Checkov, whose gentle social satire applied not only to his own country. As Shaw says in his preface, “Heart- break House is not merely the name of this play... it is cultur- ed and leisured Europe before the war.” W WI Jolt The “tremendous jolt” of the First World War was necessary to shake these leftovers from the nineteenth century out of. their complacence. The play was begun before the war, but even then he could see that the responsibility for the country lay with the more educated people, who were wast- ing their education for selfish ends, and with the more intelligent peo- ple who preferred not to work and in particular not to assume any practical interest in politics. They preferred to pay men equipped neither by profession, nor morally, to do the job for them. When one realizes the connota- tion that “practical businessmen” had for England at’this time, when several had been tried out in pub- lie office and had only succeeded in doing harm, one understands the diatribe aside, as it were, on Man- gan the politician, and why he and the burglar are the men. who must be destroyed at the end even though with Hesione we have be- come almost fond of Alfred. . Shaw’s Characters Meanwhile Shaw has been creat- ing the people he is criticizing, and it is interesting to see how they almost ran away from him. He seems.to—let-each—character have his opportunity—the women in Act I, the Captain, Randall, and Hector in Act II; and it is certain that we are more fascinated by Hesione and her father than by anything Shaw makes them say. In his other plays Shaw combines his message with his characters; Andfew Undershaft in Major Barbara takes part in the action, whereas Mangan is a subject of discussion more than anything. By making Hesione bewitching and :the Captain very old, Shaw is able to put straight philosophising and moralizing into their mouths im a way unlike his early plays where he usually has an example of what he is attacking far more involved. There is a great deal of statement rather than demon- stration of character, in contrast, for instance, to Man and Super- man. This is partly facilitated by “ the atmosphere he takes such pleasure in creating, of a house where nothing is what you expect it to be; and where therefore it is the most natural thing in the world for everyone to enter into a discussion of Mangan’s money and Ellie’s marriage.

This Debate began fortui- tously, for a casual and private remark was overheard by the Town Crier, and it was not long before everyone who Lis- tened knew of it. Quite a harmless remark, when you thought about it, but a few people got excited, and a few more were Annoyed; and yet.a few, who rather disapproved of Sleepi- ness, saw their Chance. The Debate was born. The trouble with this remark, which was really a Ques- tion, was that it implied a number of other Questions, all of which, of course, were necessary to place it in Context. So, much to the surprise of most, except those who rather dis- approved of Sleepiness, the Debate took on Considerable Pro- portions, or at least, encompassed a Considerable Scope. Quite naturally, Opinion was Sounded. The results were Inconclu- sive; but by now, the Questions were directed at the going Way of Life, and it was quite evident that there were a lot of people who were Not Happy. A lot were, but they didn’t say much. Then a Meeting was called, and the General Problem was to be discussed by Interested and even Qualified people, Now the Town was not an Ordinary Town at all, but a settlement of Alchemists, prospective Alchemists ,and people who Wanted to Find Out a Little About Alchemy, because they thought it might be useful Later On. Practically every-. one in the Town was engaged in finding out what was Al- ready Known about the Making of Gold, and how to use this Information. Even those least advanced in the pursuit en- gaged in Experiments, using, as best they knew how, what they already knew. All went well, until. someone chanced to say that the “people who Really Knew about Alchemy, were long gone and much too Remote from the people who knew Little; if only, it was said, some one among those who knew Much would take each of those who knew Little under his wing, as it were. Then people began to say that something was wrong with the way the Information and Techniques were being spread, and besides they didn’t seem to Relate. We are not Stimulated to make Gold, they said; we are even afraid. Besides, we’re not even sure what good the Gold would do us once we made it. No: a correction: no-one really asked this last Question. But the Malaise was there. Came the day of the Meeting, and quite a Crowd assem- bled. The Qualified lined up, and the Interested disposed themselves about. A Battery of loosely connected Subjects for Discussion had been prepared, and the Discussion began. For a time it seemed as if the Debate might proceed in an orderly fashion, but, before long the people who were chosen to Discuss were more or less forgotten, and everyone got in on the Act. In the melee the evidence of the Sounding was corroborated ; that there were people who were Not Happy on every subject that came up, and not a few were raised. These were opposed by the Happy. Toward the end, the Lofty De- bate came down to this: “I am Happy,” said one; “I am Not Happy,” said another. Confessions of Citizens. i The strange thing was that nob | tration , Or, Me ok i es ee see a = by Sue Harris and Marcy Tench This year’s 7-College Conference was held at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, the weekend of April 25. We spent ex- actly ten hours getting there, fighting the subways in New York among other things, and arrived dirty and exhausted only to start off on the first of the discussion sessions. We stayed in Cutter House, the new and extremely modern dorm (Brave New World Revisited), and were entertained royally by: our very hospitable Smith hostesses, Apathy Keynote The keynote of the Conference the first night was the problem of “apathy”, introduced both by a member of the Smith Adminis- who made an _ opening speech as well as by every other college represented. “Apathy” was redefined as a student reaction to the current plethora of pressures, both extra-curricular and academic. Dean Russell of Smith suggest- ed two possible reasons for this reaction” on the part of students: 1. that the tenets of progressive education had taken root, encour- aging a selfish unconcern for re- sponsibility and 2, that many stu- dents were using the increased em- phasis on the academic as an ex- cuse to avoid accepting responsi- bility for or participating in extra- curricular activities. Every col- lege at the Conference is facing this problem. Vassar attempted to solve it by wiping out all stu- dent activities, and by re-organiz- nig: their student government structure. They cancelled the bi- monthly, 60-member Legislative body, replacing it with two Boards of five members each. Vassar: “Close Relations” Regarding faculty-student rela- tions, we discovered that such re- lations at Vassar had heretofore been extremely close. Faculty members sat. on student activity boards, participated in dramatic productions, and generally helped the students in making decisions in their personal and academic life. During this past year, the Vassar reps said, students have protested against the stultifying atmosphere of such relations. Not only do they want to make their own decisions, but they Want their faculty to de- vote more free time toward schol- arly pursuits! Difficulties Discussed The discussions included the dif- ficulties that student governments encounter in representing their student bodies. This topic includes of course the necessity for having effective lines of communication between the students and the gov- ernment. Mt. Holyoke brought up their unique problem of represent- ing a student body which is unan- imously against the required week- ly chapel set by the administra- tion, Mt. Holyoke reps explained that they had worked to change by Cisca Duran-Renals Since the (proportion of over- populated Porsches and male knees exposed for tennis seems to have increased at this time, it seems fitting to recount the efforts sim- ilar in spirit if not in detail which took place-in Spain. Again, spring is discovered. But the mode of in- troduction was a bit more rococo than a request for a cigarette. The young man will have seen her, with luck even glimpsed her profile minus mantilla.. Surround- ed by serried ranks of relatives all communication between the two must be via fan, At the bullfight and the dance, where the gallants circulate on the floor or around the ring, in varying tones of des- peration, she may wield this in- strument to tell him that she re= members, knows or misses him, that -she folly realizes the first of May. Letter Follows His next move will be to pre- sume to address to her a letter. This, taken by his man and receiv- ed by her maid, is returned unop- ened.

The way is clear, the barriers are down, the prospect gladsome.

Holyoke resolved to try again. Every college at the Conference has had “library problems”, and each has attempted to cut down on missing books by incorporat- ing a checking system in the lib- rary. The question of missing books is being looked into here at Bryn Mawr, and certain practical considerations are being worked out. ; B.M.C. Gov. “Most Autonomous” We discovered that no other col- lege possessed a more autonomous student government than __ ours. Self-Gov.’s rules are the most lib- eral, yet our honor system is as strong as any represented at the Conference. In the area of stu- dent activities, Bryn Mawr stu- dents are asked collectively as well as personally to shoulder more re- sponsibility than are students at many other colleges. This necessi- tates a certain amount of partici- pation by each individual. Need for Reorganization But we recognize that there are two sides to the question of seem- ingly. compulsory participation in student activities, We personally feel that there is a need for re- organization of the structure of student activities on campus and we would like to see this accom- plished before our term of office finishes. The Re-Evaluating Com- mittee (including the heads of the Big Six) are examining the stu- dent activity situation and will present a plan for re-organization as soon as possible. No decision will be reached until it has been well thought out from both points of view. Therefore, so that plans for re- organization will correctly fit the situation, we suggest that you use Campus Mail and send us your opinions, Letters to the Editor Miss Robbins Defines Role of Faculty To the Editor: I’m much interested in the cur- rent News discussion and sorry that a long-standing engagement at the University Museum pre- vents my coming to the “panel. Here are a few ideas: Advice—I think plenty of it swills round but it’s not always followed without tergiversations involving a lot of wasted breath. A longer pause with calendar and conscience not to mention common sense before seeking advice might help. Personal and intellectual devel- opment—jWhy should the faculty discuss your personal develop- ment? this seems to me egotism rum mad. You are here at some cost to parents and scholarship funds to get basic college educa- tion. iif you want mental, person- al advice there are faretts, priests and doctors to give or sell it. Classroom—the classroom could reveal a great deal more if all persons in it assumed responsibil- ity. Faculty may be driven to lec- ture the anxious for discussion because students sit back and don’t open their mouths even when ask- ed to. This is a two-way busi- mess. Some faculty are better than others at extracting comments ‘but even the best can do little with gals who refuse to make any effort at. all to be articulate, Tm glad education here is a surprise even if not always pleas- ant. Koad Faculty research com- n which their liveli- student body. Intellectual devel- opment should come partially from classroom and lab, partially from library, partially from each other in dorm and common room. This depends on the student fash- ion. At the moment this is I think more concerned to Bludgeon the nearest male into matrimony than in discussing integration, the UN or new directions in scholarship. It might change. Certainly the News and other organizations are doing a grand job of rousing the rabble. But the faculty is pretty much powerless here outside of a willingness to see any student that asks to see and talk and out- side of an interest (which this let- ter should show) in everything going on. But this interest is a part only of my life—I’ve a hus- band, a township, parents,.a gar- den, a book and some learned soci- eties as well as amateur theatri- cals and student debating socie- ties on campus. These have been part of my life ever since I’ve been here. I like students and enjoy meeting them but I don’t believe I can do anything whatever to stimulate the independent intellec- tual interest of the student out- side the class. College is most valuable often because of the friends you make and the ideas you exchange. But if these ideas | and friendships could include the intellectual—the college would be much more of an educational ex- @erience to the students and the faculty than it apparently now is. % Wednesday, May’ 20, 1959 THE COLLEGE NEW s Page Three Panel of Pundits Indorse Modern Place of Women . Those Bryn Mawrters now in the: throes of horrendous reading as- 'signments or panicked by the pros- pect of impending exams may be ‘somewhat comforted to know the general conclusions of Edward R. Murrow’s CBS symposium on the possibilities and purposes of “The Educated Woman”, Though of various backgrounds (i.e., Indiana University and Sarah Lawrence) and various points of view, the panelists were pretty well agreed on the basic isues; e.g., the Amer- ican woman is not intellectually deficient, she is capable and wor- thy. of higher education, her edu- cation will exert considerable in- fluence upon the success of her family, community, nation, etc. Examination .of Her Role The scope of the discussion as outlined by Murrow was an exam- ination of the woman’s role in} modern society, the impact of this role upon her education, and the effect of her education upon her life. The questions comprise, said Murrow, “one of the most contro- versial topics of our day”, and to discuss it he had gathered an im- pressive array of rather important and representative personages. ‘Present and prepared to defend the female intellect were Archi- bald MacLeish, poet and Harvard- Radcliffe professor; Harry Gide- onese, president of Brooklyn Col- lege; Diana Trilling, writer and Radcliffe graduate; psychoanalyst Dr. Sarah Shreiner; Dr, Lynn White, former president of Mills College; Presidents McIntosh of Barnard, Gettle of Holyoke, and Taylor of Sarah Lawrence; Admir- al Rickover; and, last but not least, writer E. B. White, hus- band of a Bryw Mawr graduate and the school’s most ardent and articulate enthusiast. Most Views “Flattering” Few of the views were radical, some were surprising, most were highly flattering. Said.MacLeish, “The sensibility of women makes them more susceptible-to the kind of education which our time most deeply needs”. He was referring to that sensibility © ‘which distin- guished Sappho, Entily Dickenson, “Marianne Moore, and went om to explain that it is “the education of the emotions, of the power to feel” which is the most vital need of the time, The question of working, or even intellectual, wives was de- Continued on Page 5, Col. 1 Chorus Previews ‘1959-60 Program by Marian Willner President of Chorus Here is a preview of the coming attractions in choir next year.

There will be ancient works which trace the development of art from early Egyptian through Ro- man times, as well as examples of primitive art. In addition to early Chinese bronzes and a small Wei Dynasty stone figure, which are the most Italo-Corinthian Plate ancient pieces on exhibit, there will ibe stone sculptures,'some aprticu- larly fine small Greek bronzes, and primitive works from the is- lands of the Pacific and from Af- rica, including some charming masks from the Ivory Coast. Bryn Mawr--is—sending fifteen pieces. to this exhibition from the Ella Riegel Museum of ‘Clasical Archaeology and sixteen: from the Herben and Robbins Collection. Among those works selected for showing by the museum upon the advice of Miss Mellink are a fourth- century B.C. Etruscan mirror with four mythological figures engraved in the back; a third century B.C. Etruscan terra cotta head; from the Deanery, a marble head which be- longed to Miss Thomas; and two pairs of gold Hellenistic earrings from the third or fourth century B.C. On the pair are pendent doves and on the other, rings end- ing in bulls’ heads, a motif com- mon at that time. Aegean Sea and a terra cotta horseman, both gifts of Miss Swin- dler, are also included as well as the two pieces illustrated here; a painted Italo-Corinthian plate, and the handle of a bronze water jar from Greece, probably from Attica. Outstanding among Bryn Mawr’s from Sparta, and two of the best pieces of Athenian pottery on ex- hibit—a drinking cup and a water jar. Dr. Herben and Miss Robbins, are sixteen African wood carvings. Among these pieces, now on dis- play, are seven figurines, three masks, a wooden cup ,a box, a bench and an “ibegi”. The most valuable carving is an Yoruba female figure holding a bowl. This figure is distinguished by eyes looking in different direc- Hford Brun Mawr Students See Civic Spots in Sociology Course by Joan Bernstein I sat, with a group from Hav- erford and Bryn Mawr, in the dep- uty warden’s office in Eastern State Penitentiary. We were talk- ing to a group of prisoners, among them two murderers. One old man was serving a life sentence; he spoke bitterly of the probability that he will be paroled someday. From reading criminology texts, I knew that no employer is likely to hire him, an ex-convict in his six- ties. Where is this old man, fam- ilyless, going to get money for food and shelter?

Penitentiary Visited We were visiting the penitentiary: as part of a course, Haverford’s Sociology 38b, “Urban Problems”, given in cooperation with the Friends Order Committee, and run by Haverford’s Dr. Ira Reid and work camp leader David Ritchie. On six weekends this semester, we lived at South Philadelphia’s Western Community House, cook- ing, eating, and discussing as a group. “Phillie” Classroom — Our classroom was Philadelphia, our subject its problems and how authorities, groups, and individuals are attenmpting to deal with them. The course is based on the idea that, after doing background read- ing, students can perhaps best un- derstand the subject by actually seeing and participating in the varied activities of a large com- munity. Each weekend was devoted to a different area: painting rooms in the slums, labor-management relations and unemployment, hou- sing;~-mental..health, crime and punishment, and politics. We took an active part in a union meeting, asking questions of rank and file ‘members who ordinarily let the of- ficials do the talking. One morn- ing, we went to the Sunday Break- phia’s unemployed can get a free breakfast after sitting through a religious service. We attended the service; we ate breakfast with the men and talked with them.

She will in- terview a celebrity im her chosen field and will take field trips to fashion, radio and photographic studios, to newspaper offices, de- partment stores and manufactur- ing and design houses, and will take part in many parties that Mademoiselle has planned for them. . The twenty Guest Editors won their appointments on the basis of three assignments they com- pleted for Mademoiselle during the school year. These included re- ports on campus fashions, the arts, classroom studies and extracurric- ular activities, Campus Activities Rita has had experience on the staff and editorial board of the News (she was managing editor last year). Among her other on- campus .activities, she has served as second junior to Undergrad and is. now secretary of the Senior Class. After getting her masters’ de- gree from Columbia, Rita, who is a history major, plans.- to. teach. This year she has done some prac- tice teaching in Lower Merion ele- mentary school. Miss McBride addressed a Sen- ate Education Committee, April 28, 1959, on the subject of the Nation- al Defense Education Act. Her dis- cussion was devoted to an explana- tion of Bryn Mawr’s stand as re- gards the Mundt Loyalty Oath. This oath is required of any col- lege applying for Federal funds. “The oath required in this sec- tion is not a test of loyalty, for the disloyal would not hesitate to take it; but it does present a dan- ger to the freedom of thought and inquiry essential in a democratic society.” . First Reason Cited | As the first of her two reasons for eliminating the oath, Miss McBride gave the opinion that “With the oath the Act is less likely to achieve its important ob- jective of extending educational opportunity. We know that some of the most intelligent, perceptive and conscientious students and professors will not participate in programs the Act is designed to provide. They make this decision not—as I am sure the Committee knows—from. any. lack.of loyalty.” “The principle that thought and inquiry must be free .. . hag suf- fered both direct attack and more subtle erosion. I believe, as do many others, that to leave the foath-in-the-Act-would be to create) this bulwark of frée mnonent and inquiry.” Distrust Implied “The second reason for elimin- ating the requirement of the oath which I should like to present also has implications far beyond the particular programs the Act is designed to aid. The Act implies that Congress distrusts this par- ticular group (students), and a special test of loyalty must be re- quired of its members.” Turning to Bryn Mawr’s specific position as illustrative of the dif- faculties faced by institutions in re- lation to the Act, Miss McBride emphasized that “Our relationship with our students is one of trust. The relationship is basic to the quality of education at the col- lege. Oath: Lack of Trust “To establish a loan program, with an oath and affidavit required of each applicant, would in our opinion indicate a lack of trust of students. The loan fund is a fund within the institution, operated by the institution, established nine- tenths by federal funds and one- tenth by institutional funds. The responsibility for it cannot be turned back to the federal govern- ment. The institution itself is res- Miss McBride Talks To Senate Committee; ; Discusses B.M.C. Opinion’of Loyalty Oath for aid to graduate study under the Act, limited by the same loyal- ty oath requirements. This Miss McBride explained as follows: “Our basis for these two applications was that the programs involved could be more restricted, affecting certain departments only, and of course within those departments only those individuals willing to take the oath. We may have been wrong of course, but in these two applications we put the possible benefits of the program above the handicap of the oath.” Miss McBride concluded her statement with “the strong con- viction that an oath required for ‘any part of the program is a hand- icap to the objectives the Act is designed to accomplish and that it ig a serious new danger to the freedom of thought and inquiry that we are as a nation commit- ted to support.” Notice The special Graduation Issue of the News, which will appear on Tuesday, June 2, will be free to regular subscribers and available ne a new and dangerous erosion of .

Michels of the Physics Dept. On April 27, 1959, Dr. Lise Meit- ner spoke in the biology building on “The Story. of the Gamma Rays.” She began with the discov- ery of the gamma ray in 1900 by Villard. She then went into the con- troversy that lasted for twelve years as to the nature of these rays. The question was whether gamma rays are electro-magnetic waves like light or particles like electrons. There was also an opinion that the rays could switch back and forth between electro-magnetic waves and particles. In 1912 Von Laue, Friedrich, and Knipping showed that they are waves of very short wave length or high frequency. Early in the century it was recog- nized that they are emitted from the nuclei of the atoms. Gamma Rays Absorbed Experiments showed that gamma rays are absorbed and scattered as they pass through matter which they do easily as do x-rays. These experiments were difficult to inter- pret until it was recognized that some of the electrons that come off with essentially the same energy as the gamma rays have been pushed out by the gamma rays that have been emitted. Another discovery which clarified these experiments is that of A. H. Compton, called the Compton Effect. This discovery shows that -when an x-ray or a gamma. ray strikes an electron the electron is bounced away as a ball. This is important because it indi- cates that, although a gamma ray is a wave, it acts, in many ways, as a particle. Basis for. Study The realization that electrons are emitted became the basis for the study of gamma rays. The way in which «it was discovered tHat the | beta rays emitted’ by the gamma rays. are electrons rather than par- ticles from the nucleus of the atom is as follows: if the particles had come from the nucleus, a new ele- ment would have been formed. But, new elements are not formed when the beta rays are emitted. There- fore the rays have to come from outside the nucleus and—are~elec- trons. Dr. Meitner pointed out that this must be a process in which the elec- trons are emitted from the same atom whose nucleus emitted the gamma ray. This is true because a gamma ray from one atom would probably not hit an électron of an- other atom. Order of Rays She brought up the question of which ray is emitted first, an alpha or beta ray or the gamma ray. This was settled by the fact that scien- tists know how much eneregy it takes to knock an electron out of various atoms. By observing how much charge the electron is emitted with, it can be seen that an alpha or a beta ray is emitted first be- cause these rays carry out charge and mass and gamma rays do not. Another question was how many ‘gamma rays are absorbed in pass- ing through a given amount of mat- ter. It was not until 1929, when Klein and Nishina developed the quantum mechanic theory of the absorption and scattering of gam- ma rays as they pass through mat- ter, that this could be answered. This theory was first tested by Sko- ‘beltzym in experiments which were not very precise, but which seemed to agree with the Klein-Nishina formula. In 1930 Dr. Hopfeld and Dr. Meitner made very precise measurements that supported this theory. But, it was found that, while the Klein-Nishina formula worked well for the lighter elements, the. “observed scattering of the gamma more than the theory predicted. This, at the time, was not explic- able. But, with the discovery of pair production, it could be under- stood. This theory shows that, as the.gamma ray goes into the nu- cleus and disappears, a positron and an electron are emitted. Pair production explains the extra scat- tering that Klein and Nishina had not accounted for. 1934 Discovery Important In 1934 the discovery of artificial radiation by F. Joliot and Irene- Curie Joliot showed that by bom- barding atoms with high-speed par- ticles, it is possible to create new types of atoms, Dr. Meitner concluded by saying that, as a result of these studies, it is now becoming possible to cor- relate a number of facts involved in the structure of the nucleus. However, one fundamental problem of nuclear physics is still unsolved: scientists still do not really have a satisfactory theory about the laws of force that act within the Field Trip Continued from Page 1, Col. 4 girl: the buses pull to a stop along the road, the doors open and 47 little monsters fly out and fling themselves at a sheer cliff and being pitifully knocking away at it with their harmless little ham- mers; the instructors and grad stu- dents cluster at the bottom and smugly sare back at the people gawking out of passing cars. When Dr. Watson thinks that enough of the hill has disappeared he shouts “Can we gather together” and knows full well we can. Anyone who is anyone has col- lected a trilobite; those in the next-lower social orbit have found a piece of one: (“Well, I’ve found the tail of a trilobite. If anyone finds a head maybe I can make a deal-with them.”) Those who have found trilobites and assorted other specimens, which will look dandy on the mantel-piece and will drive the cleaning-maid mad, slump at the bottom of the cliff and wait for the slower ones. One such slumped person was heard to threat- en: “The next person who steps on my face gets it.” Entertainment Provided During the afternoon, the local residents were thoughtful enough to provide a very entertaining for- est fire, which was most effective as a distraction. That night we ar- rived in Hazelton and probably doubled the population. Sunday we explored the coal fields, which was fitting since most of us are minors anyway. There was something earthy about crawling around in the bowels of the earth, to coin a phrase, which we reaffirmed when we tried to wash it out that night. Lunch on Sunday was—get this —provided by the Mahoning Val- ley ‘Volunteer Fire Company’s Ladies’ Auxiliary, which was giving vity. Every mother in Mahoning Valley for three generations each way must have turned out, be- cause the place was more than full when we got there and for a little more than an hour afterwards. Meanwhile, we played baseball in the field with a beer bottle (FOPND) and a toy basketball: American Game plus Bryn Mawr ingenuity—ugh. Lunch, when it finally came, was sumptuous to say the least.

Some anonymous young men expressed their doubts in the relevancy of Addison and Steele to folding dia- pers, while some equally nameless ‘faculty members’ deliberated on the advantages of having a peas- ant woman or a Ph.D. for a wife, eventually (and fortunately for Bryn Mawr, Smith, Vassar, etc.), cluding that since “education takes place at the dinner table,” for the benefit of one’s scions the latter is more desirable. Masculine “Resentment” The root of the female’s difficul- ties in a man’s world lies, says Radcliffe’s Diana Trilling, in mas- euline resentment against femin- ine progress, There is, she assert- ed, “an enormous amount of sul- lenness between the sexes”. If not completely supported by her male colleagues on the panel she was certainly not refuted and ap- parently none could think of a bet- ter reason for the existence of the problem. Women, they agreed, are characterized iby the same needs as men, the same intellec- tual potential, and the same ca- pacity to fill the nation’s need for scientific and political brainpower. In addition, they were equipped with some rather startling figures ‘872 Lancaster Ave. — Phone: LAwrence 5-9488 SHEAR ARTISTRY AT MARGO NICHOLSON BEAUTY SALON Bryn Mawr, Penna. concerning women’s employment. Nine out of ten, they prophesied, will work for at least twenty-five years! Their current failure to fill the gaps in the ranks of scientists and engineers was attributed by Ad- miral Rickover to fear of the dual stigma of “unfemininity” and “braininess.” The view seemed to be discredited, however, by com- mentaries on the value of their education by notable sister-school graduates. ‘“‘School taught me to think” was the general con- census, and none seemed the least contrite about her intellectual prowess. Last word in the discussion was given to Bryn Mawr-husband E. B. White who drew an ecstatically glowing picture of the joys of marriage to the “educated woman”. His views, written originally for a Bryn Mawr alumnae publication, should, if widely enough dissemin- ated, insure connubial bliss to all Bryn Mawrters, “T once held a live humming bird in my_ hand”, he said._‘I-onee married a Bryn Mawr girl.
