“The College VOL. XLII, NO. 18 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1957 © Trustees of Bryn Mawr Géllege, 1957 PRICE 20 CENTS Cookies, Biscuits of the World, Unite! The Brothers” Kapitalists Have Struck by Tulsa Kaiser ’58 and Anne Keller *58 Having recently been made cog- nizant of our position in society as members of that stolid, stable and suburban middle class, and thus feeling impelled to adapt our- selves or at least accustom our- selves, once again to life in the world of gross-materialism, capital- ism and FR ENTERPRISE, we planned and participated in an ex- cursion and escaped from these womb-like ivory walls. That is to say that we answered the feeble knock of opportunity. Opportunity came in the form of a form letter, an invitation from the Chairman of the Board of that helper of housewives — Pillsbury Mills Incorporated—an invitation to visit any one of “the many Pillsbury plants and offices throughout the nation.” A~ quick giance’at the map was enough to assure us that the Pillsbury Re- frigerated Foods plant in Downing- town—past Paoli — was in public transportation distance of Bryn Mawr and the voyage was planned. The date of our tour of inspection was tentatively set for Saturday, March 16. First, however, one of the Brothers K checked with the powers that be in the Public Rela- tions Office of Pillsbury in Phila- delphia. Everything was OK and Public Relations lined up Mr. Sweigart to conduct a guided tour. “. The Brothers Advance Thus Saturday morning break- fast found the Brothers K not only present, but dressed in people-type clothes—Kapitalistic Attire, chic, elegant, but business-like. Carrying small notebooks, the Brothers K| set forth briskly to catch the 9:09 Paoli Local—to Paoli! Making good use of their Bryn Mawr training, they took advantage of the time on the train to study the list of questions which they had culled from various of their friends who had vast and theoretical knowledge concerning businesses and corpora- tions, in order that they could ask intelligent informed Kapitalistic questions of Mr. Sweigart, that young, gray flannel-suited Madison Avenue executive who was at that moment cursing our pending tour of inspection as having ruined his chance for taking the day off and playing golf—and it was beautiful golf weather. We were met in Downingtown by the President of the Chamber of Commerce—just then driving the local taxi.- He gave us a rundown . on the economic stability and growth of the community and de- Theatre Presents Lattimore’s Work Currently New York audiences are witnessing a production of Richmond Lattimore’s (Paul Shorey | ‘Professor of Greek) translation? of Euripedes’ The Trojan Women at the off-Broadway theatre, the Mar- quee. Beginning March 26 and continuing for a week, the same theatre will present Mr. more’s translation of Aeschylus’ Agamemnon, According to Walter Kerr in his March 10 New York Herald Trib- une review of The Trojan Women: “Richmond Lattimore’s translation seems entirely workable: it is clear, direct and uncluttered with verbal Latti-. posited us at the Pillsbury Plant. We entered and asked for Mr. Sweigart. He appeared, attired in a white baker’s suit and a small white hat which said Green Cross for Safety. The Brothers K,. being} adaptable, forgot about golf and profit centers and motivation re- search, and thought about ques- tions concerning flour, eggs and milk. Mr. Sweigart—his uniform said Bill—enthusiastically showed the brothers around the plant. This particular plant had only been in existence for three years and our host had been there all that time. Biscuit production was in full swing, and the Brothers K were al- lowed to see the only automatic biscuit packihg machine in the na- tion — other less fortunate cor- porations like General Mills, have to package their refrigerated bis- cuits’ by hand—thus, this machine was carefully guarded; and men were never taken through the plant for fear that they would attempt to copy this valuable machine. Mr. Sweigart was most distress- ed that the Brothers K had chosen a Saturday to come, for the most interesting production was Caramel Nut Rolls, and they were not run- ning that section on Saturday. Bis- cuits and cookies managed, how- ever, to give Mr. Sweigart sufficient material about which to exude en- thuasiasm and information for one and one-half hours. Mr. Sweigart exuded no free samples, however, and the Brothers K—Kapitalistic- ally attired as they were—could not ask, though komment was made that the cookies certainly smelled good ,and that this must be due to the fine ingredients, particularly Pillsbury’s Best Enriched Flour which was being used. Finally, Mr. Sweigart found that biscuits and cookies supplied no further ma- terial and information, so he sadly called the tour to an end, bemoan- ing once again the fact there was no roll production on Saturdays. Then he had a thought, perhaps his guests would like to take some of Pillsbury’s Products home so that their friends and neighbors Continued on Page 2, Column 1 Chamber Orchestra Plans Performance) The Bryn Mawr - Haverford Chamber Orchestra, William Reese, conductor, will give a chamber music concert on April 14 at 4:00 p.m. in the Goodhart Music Room.

Trask delivered the Class of 1902 Lecture last Wednes- day night in the Common Room using “The Problems of Transla- tion” as his topic. “I hesitate to use the word ‘problem’ as oppos- ed to ‘problems’,” he began, “for that implies a solution.” After briefly sketching the his- tory of translation, Mr. Trask talk- ed/of the opposition that the trans- lator comes up against as mani- fested in two remarks: Samuel is frequently in translation,” and an Italian’s “The translator is a traitor.” These he referred to as “right and left jabs to the jaw.” The chief problems of a translat- or are three-fold: sounds, words and syntax. As an example of the problem of sound, Mr. Trask used-a-possible translation of Poe’s poem “The Bells.” The “bells, bells” refrain in French becomes a ‘cloches, cloches” refrain which loses the sound of the liquid ‘con- sonants and takes on a “wooden leg sound.” Also, the sounds that Poe used so successfully to show dif- ferent tones of different bells are lost in translation. -To show the problem of words, Mr. Trask suggested the different meaning that a word such as for- est may have in different lan- man would suggest a thick growth Sounds, Words and Syntax Are Chief Problems of Translator, Says W. Trask of tall pines, whereas the same word to a Frenchman might sug- gest oaks growing in a sandy soil. As an example of the problem of syntax, Mr. Trask used Ortega’s El Hombre y La Gente. Both words may be used singularly and collect- ively, and la gente is a play on words to mean pressure of society. It is as difficult to convey this word-play into English as it is to find “an imp person, a per- son who is not a person” to be able to. translate the Spanish se dice correctly, As a “consumer” of translation, Mr. Trask described himself as a ‘searcher for. minute truths.” Translation often implies a change in meaning or-tone, a loss of some- thing original.

To those who would eattlihes translation, Mr. Trask replies that — it has been of great ‘service, in the translation of the Bible for in- stance, and that he is “a “betta man for translation.” — - If translation is to be improved, we must rid ourselves of the idea that change is insolence and decad- . ence and also the idea of the “gac- ro-sanctity” of the English lan- guage.

Second, it is requested that cigarette stubs be thrown in the containers provided for their dis- posal. These trash cans are located in the main halls of Taylor and outside the Library, and soon will be placed in the areas of Dalton and Park as-well: There should be no excuse for carelessly tossing a cigarette away. Filter tips in par- ticular blot the landscape, since their composition will not readily deteriorate. | Third, students are _ reminded that posters should not be placed on the outer doors of campus buildings, where they: harm the woodwork as well as detract from the charm of the college. Nationalism Cited As Peril To Reds “The (Future of Communism” was the topic for discussion Mon- day night at Current Events. Mr. Robert A. Rupen, Assistant Pro- fessor of Political Science was the speaker. The recent revolts in the Russian satellites have led to much specula- tion as to what the future of Com- munism might be. Mr. Rupen tried to point out not only the problems faced by Russia in this matter, but also other threats to the suc- cess of the Communist regime. In his opinion, Nationalism to- day represents the basic threat to Communism. Nationalism not only is causing unrest in the satellite countries, but also in Russia itself. “One of Russia’s basic problems is the fact that there is far more feel- ing for the land, the country ... than for the doctrine itself.” Other Possibilities Mr, Rupen brought in the rela- tionships of other countries that have been important in recent de- velopments; he discussed their possibilities for the future. The main point, he said, was the econ- omic importance of the various states, and whether it contributed to or detracted from Russia’s fu- ture hopes. ; He brought out a few points. on the revolts themselves. It is inter- esting to note that the students one hears~so much about today were not primarily opposed to the Communist regime; they only won- dered about other forms of govern- ment. They were curious to find out about things denied them in their Communist education. In summary, Mr. Rupen gave what he thought to be the factors favorable to the United States, those that are definitely unfavor- able, and things about which there is question.

SPRING, Undergrad is sponsoring a campaign to make the campus appéar clean and beautiful. Stu- | dents are-urged to assist this drive by. complying with three admoni- tions, First, in deference to the tender, green shoots which have just made their appearance, it is hoped that students will refrain from trampl- ing on the grass and otherwise harming their growth. Second, it is requested that cigarette stubs be thrown in the containers provided for their dis- posal. These trash cans are located in the main halls of Taylor and outside the Library, and soon will be placed in the areas of Dalton and Park as-well: There should be no excuse for carelessly tossing a cigarette away.

Nationalism Cited As Peril To Reds “The (Future of Communism” was the topic for discussion Mon- day night at Current Events. Mr. Robert A. Rupen, Assistant Pro- fessor of Political Science was the speaker. The recent revolts in the Russian satellites have led to much specula- tion as to what the future of Com- munism might be. Mr. Rupen tried to point out not only the problems faced by Russia in this matter, but also other threats to the suc- cess of the Communist regime. In his opinion, Nationalism to- day represents the basic threat to Communism. Nationalism not only is causing unrest in the satellite countries, but also in Russia itself. “One of Russia’s basic problems is the fact that there is far more feel- ing for the land, the country ... than for the doctrine itself.” Other Possibilities Mr, Rupen brought in the rela- tionships of other countries that have been important in recent de- velopments; he discussed their possibilities for the future. The main point, he said, was the econ- omic importance of the various states, and whether it contributed to or detracted from Russia’s fu- ture hopes. ; He brought out a few points. on the revolts themselves. It is inter- esting to note that the students one hears~so much about today were not primarily opposed to the Communist regime; they only won- dered about other forms of govern- ment. They were curious to find out about things denied them in their Communist education. In summary, Mr. Rupen gave what he thought to be the factors favorable to the United States, those that are definitely unfavor- able, and things about which there is question.

BE! _ ANTERNATIONAL ' BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION Soviets’ Subways Shown By Slides Thursday afternoon in the Com- mon Room, Captain W. D. A. Bag- nell showed slides with a commen- tary on his trip to Russia. The slides, black-and-white and color, were mostly of Leningrad and Mos- cow. pais Interesting features of Russian life were brought out by the slides. Russian clothing on the whole is very poor, and very expensive, There are very few cars (and few people as well) in the streets. Hotel accommodations are _ practically non-existent, The railway system is good and comfortable, but Cap- tain Bagnell was disturbed by the public-announcing system, which continually blares- music whether the travellers want it or not. The subway in Moscow is magnificent, with glass chandeliers and marble floors, but is so expensive that few people use it, Pictures of a collective farm showed well-cared-for animals, but antiquated and poor equipment. There is no mechanization on these farms; consequently it takes 1,000 people to run a 5,000 acre-farm: The farm is run like a European feudal manor, the workers paid in produce rather than cash. Because of vast areas involved it is difficult to get the people to adopt modern methods and progress is slow. Captain. Bagnell showed many interesting slides of city buildings, among them the Kremlin, St. Basil’s Cathedral anu tne Bsishei ‘heater, which shows, like many Russian buildings, the influence of Greek architecture. Many other slides, including some of Leningrad’s. slum quarter, and of the lavish annual May Day parade, gave a varied and highly interesting picture of modern Rus- sia.

Who Knows Who Wrote Sarcophagi?) “No, no, no, no no,” remarked Dr. Andronicoom in contradiction of the president of the Relics Club at 8:32 in the Common Room, Wed- nesday, March 27. The Sarcophagi did not inhabit the Sarcophagus. The race in question was a bull- headed people dwelling in Asia Minor and the tragedy recently dis- covered does not concern and should not be confused with 20,000 Years in the Tomb. Euripides did not write this; Homer did not write it, but there are three theories as to the authorship. Was it written by Sophocles’ daughter? Was it in- spired by Zeus and set down by means of automatic writing? Dr. . Andronicoom rejects both propo- sitions in favor of the belief that The Sarcophagi was not written at all, The effects of this, theory are disastrous both to the history of the people concerned and to the history of ancient marble mauso- jeums, but it does in part fill the great round hole in the Greek drama.

The Young Man and The Millpond, specially commission- ed by the Cues, was written for us by “Papa? Darningpath between plane crashes and banana peels at 2,000 pesos a word. Common Treasury dues will go up next year. Our luck she is running good—The Young Man and the Millpond. by “Papa” Darningpath He was a young man who splash- ‘ed alone in a wash tub in the mill- pond and he had gone 84 days now without taking a cigarette, In the first 40 days an old boy had been with him. But after 40 days with- out a drag, the old boy’s aunt and uncle had told him that the young man was now absolutely and final- ly curieux which is one of the worst forms of unlucky and the old boy had gone at their orders into an- other tub which caught three good ganders the first week. It made * the old boy sad to see the young man come in-each day with his tub empty and he always went down to help him carry either his knit- ting needles or his racing form and pick-ax and the sail that was furl- ’ ed around the mast. The sail was —-patched-with- college“banners~-and comma furled comma it looked like ~ the flag of impermanent retreat. The young man was skinny and a mess with deep wrinkles in the back of his tweeds. The blue blots of the benevolent ink spots thé ink-bottle brings from its reversal on the heliotropic windowseat were on his cheeks. The blots ran well down the sides of his face and his _“hands had the accordian-pleated sears from handling heavy @eese on the boards. But none of these scars was old. They were as young “ Everything about him was young! except his purple eyes and they were the same color as the mill- pond and they were cheerful and glazed, “John Henry Wellington Carr III”, the old boy said to him as they climbed the shore from where the tub was hauled up. “I could go with you. again. We’ve made some dough.” The young man had taught the old boy to catch geese and the old boy loved him, “No”, the young man said, “you’re with a lucky tub. Stay with them. I can bet you did not leave me because you doubted.” “It was Aunt Jody made me leave. I am an old boy and must obey her.” “I know,” the young man said, “that is the way the circular ball bounces and rebounds at an equal speed.” “Yes”, the old boy said. of the geese-catchers made fun of the young man and he was not angry. “John Henry Wellington Carr Ill”, the old boy said. “Yes”, the young man said.

His hope and confidence had never gone. But now they were fresh- ening as when the grade rises. ““T am a strange’ young man”, he said, “Yes”, the old bay said. .

Rather, Esperanto merited overwhelming preference by dint of an unexpected write-in decision. 504 (81% of the student ‘body) answering the questionnaire indi- cated an extreme enthusiasm, in- terest and affection for the. inter- national language; however, since only 2% reported that they are now acquainted with the synthetic tongue, developed by the Russian Zamenhof in 1887, details for ma- jor and language requirements have been left to the Committee. Most observers believe this spon- taneous turning to Esperanto is just another manifestation of a chaotic troubled world’s desperate reliance on internationalism as its onlf salvation. Many members of the history, psychology and sociol- ogy departments have concurred. Because of the peculiar nature of the language, several -rather in- teresting curriculum changes are feasible; Junior Years Abroad coul while any foreign lit course could be recognized, since Esperanto has not yet developed a literature of its own.

After much thought and mental wrestling, the administration de- cided that the students’ request for abolition of the hygiene exams was a legitimate one. They agreed that there’s no time like the pre- sent for getting things done, and, the hygiene exam scheduled for this spring has been canceled. Because it is necessary to have some sort of ‘test to establish whether juniors should be eligible to register for their senior year, the administration has drawn up a new “general knowledge” examina- tion. ‘his is modeled on one given by King William’s College, Isle of man, Great Britain, and is conduct- ed in the following manner: stu- dents will be given the exam Thurs- uay evening before spring vacation and will try to answer as many questions as possible.

Elsewhere in this issue we have printed.a sample of the “general knowledge” exam which is at long last. replacing the unpopular hygiene exam. We feel that this new examin- tion is a big improvement, since the knowledge one gajns from doing research on these questions is much more useful than facts about the different vitamin groups and how many glasses of water one should drink a day to keep healthy. We are also pleased to see that the editorial opinion of the Cues bears some weight with the faculty and administration. Our faith in the power of the press has been renewed. The advantages of this type of “general knowledge” exam are many and beneficial. is initiated into the joys of doing research on many ob- scure and interesting topics. this type of work is invaluable since, in looking for the ans- wers in a number of obscure sources, one is introduced to the student gains a ] sity of knowledge ex!
