OCTOBER 24, 1956 © Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1956 PRICE 20 CENTS U.S. Campuses Divided On Politics; Students Wage Campaigns Actively by Rita Rubinstein By way of report on the elec- tion writing on college campuses, it was noticed that few of those papers which are received in the News office editorialized about the candidates or the issues. Numbering among the non-ob- jective publications was the Har- vard Crimson that came out for Stevenson. This ‘undergraduate daily which backed the same man in 1952 said, “we believe that Adlai Stevenson will provide “the leader- ship demanded by the ‘next four years—to move forward out of the current disease-like complacency toward a new America and a new world.” The editorial went on to say, that the Président, “has failed to utilize his great prestige and his commanding respect to grapple with tHe urgent problems of the day.” The Vassar Misceliany News ‘ob- served voter apathy in its canvas- sing of the Poughkeepsie area. “Most of the voters are strongly partisan and apparently have had their minds made. up for a long time. Very few watched the con- ventions this summer and even fewer listen to campaign speeches now. Evidently the GOP argu- ments have made a profound im- pression on these people for the "majority. opinion was that Pough- keepsie would vote Republican along with the rest of Dutchess County. While some concede that the questions of Hisenhower’s health and Nixon’s personality have switched some Republican votes, most feel that these factors are far outweighed by the prosper- ity they are enjoying.” In The Mount Holyoke News, the printed results of a campus straw vote: indicated a sweeping GOP victory. This year, however, only 15% of the student body supported Eisenhower and Nixon as compar- ed to 79% in 1952. “The opposite situation. is reflected in faculty and administration. votes. In ’52 Ike and Dick won by only 58%, in ’56 their share rose to nearly 61%.” And The Swarthmore Phoenix reports the existence of three par- tisan political organizations on their campus, at least for the dura- The Students Republicans Associa- tion, The Students for Democratic Action, and The Students for Stev- enson, Kefauver and Clark. The Barnard Bulletin which sup- ported Stevenson and the Demo- cratic Party had the following to say about the general subject of campus politicking. “Barnard stu- dents have welcomed controversy to the campus. In an unofficial survey whose purpose was to sound out student reaction to our recent editoria] the Bulletin discovered that most students believed ‘it is important to take a stand on the coming, election.” Also ‘on that campus as regards electioneering: “From a table in front.of Low Li- spread the gospel via free litera- ture and campaign buttons.

Further, we felt a “Coordination of the Sciences” was necessary be- cause the problem of the H-bomb is complex and has- many ramifi- cations. In arriving at an answer which satisfies one’s conscience as to whether the hydrogen bomb tests should be pressed or whether they should be discontinued without full scale disarmament or bilateral ac- tion a number of factors may be Individuals will differ concerning the relative emphasis placed on the moral implications, military security, preservation of idealogy, contribution to funda- mental knowledge, and the possi- bility of serious damage or extinc- tion of the human race. _ In this article we wish to confine our at- tention to the last two points. A physicist considering only the possible contributions to fundamen- tal knowledge and ignoring the last point would like a continuation of the tests. However, if the last two points are considered together, ev- eryone must give careful consid- eration .to the following evidence. When a H-bomb is exploded a variety of radioactive debris is thrown into the upper atmosphere and distributed over the entire earth. Of the several long-lived radioactive materials in this debris the one which must receive the se- rious consideration is Strontium 90. Strontium enters the body via the food which we eat and is re- tained in the bones. It has been ‘reported by Dr. Libby that the re- sults of recent measurement of]; Strontium 90 concentrations in hu- man bone show that the eventual accumulation of this substance re- sulting from H-bombs exploded to date will be 1%% of the maximum rmissible concentration (MPC) which is presently accepted. This figure is forty. times larger than that given by the, Atomic Energy |Commission. This discrepancy has been shown..by Dr..R.E. Lapp as *4t Schapiro 760; music reporter. | an error in calculation in the paper H-Bomb Radiation on which the. AEC still bases its optimistic reports. ' While considering thé implica- tion of the above fact, it should be noted that the MPC of any ra- dioactivé material is still doubtful and is constantly being revised downward. The medical profession has lowered the maximal permis- sive dosage of X-rays three times in the last 25 years. It is known that medical X-ray men who gov- ern their radiation exposure by this standard suffer an incidence of leu- kemia which is 10 times greater than the rest of the medical pro- fession, suggesting that the level needs further downward ‘revision. The British medical council has re- cently set the maximum permissive dosage at a level one-tenth that designated by the AEC. The Eng- lish figure takes into consideration a whole population including chil- dren, a factor neglected by our own commission. Using this figure we find that every man, woman, and child in the world has been sen- tenced already to an ultimate con- centration of strontium 90 which is” 15% the maximal — permissible dosage. In other words, explosion of 7 times the fissionable material used to date would place the world population over the ‘safety limit and endanger the survival of the human race. There is still another factor to be considered from the biological point-of view. The discussion thus far has been concerned only with the possible radiation effects of the individual or what might be re- ferred to as the immediate health hazard. This does not include any of the possible genetic effects of the irradiation. Dr. H. J. Muller, Nobel prize recipient for his work in radiation genetics, _demonstrated_.that.-.the mutation rate or amount of change Lin the hereditary material increas- es.as radiation increases. Further, he has demonstrated that a very large proportion of. these effects are deleterious resulting in a weak- ened progeny and often death. These effects are cumulative and often times require several genera- tions before the effect becomes ap- parent. Certainly, these results are based on information gained using Continued on Page 5, Col. 5 Hugh Borton Is H’ford President Hugh Borton, a leading scholar in Japanese history and Director of the East Asian Institute of Colum- bia University, has been appointed president of Haverford College. When Professor Borton takes of- fice in June he will be Haverford’s fifteenth president. He will suc- ceed Gilbert F. White who termi- nated nine and a half years as president last January to return to the University of Chicago. Mr. Borton, who received his early education at Moorestown Friends School and at Westtown School, was graduated from Hav- erford in the Class of 1926. Dur- ing three years with the American Friends Service Committee in Ja- pan, teaching English and study- ing the language, Mr. Borton was inspired by the leading occidental authority on Japanese language and culture, Sir George Sansom, Counsellor for the British Embas- sy. Mr. Borton took a Master’s degree in history at Columbia Uni- versity in. 1932, then went to Ley- den, Holland, and to the Imperial University in Tokyo to get further work in his field of Japanese lan- guage and history. He received his Ph.D. from Leyden in 1987. That Fall Professor Borton started teaching at Columbia, where he has since been except for a six- year period (1942-48) with the United States Department of State. While with the State Depart- ment, first as a*specialist in East Asia, then as Chief of the Division of Northeast Asian Affairs and later as a member of the State- War-Navy Coordinating Committee. on Legal and Constitutional re- forms, Professor Borton was called on to help draft official policy to govern postwar Japan and Korea and to work on problems connect- ed with the peace treaty. In addition to being a contribu- tor of numerous articles in his field, Dr. Borton is the author of the following books: “Peasant Up- risings in Japan,” 1938; “Japan Since 1931, Its Social and Political Development,” 1940; “Japan’s Modern Century,” 1955, an inter-| pretive history of the past hundred years. By Marcia Case The excitement generated by the opening -of Prisina Perplexed or The Lady’s Not for Learning in Goodhart Hall was comparable to that created by the opening of My Fair Lady at the Mark Hellinger. No class show in'recent years has been so heralded, and few have been so enthusiastically. received. The feeling here is that in its con- ‘ception, script, acting, costuming, and in its professionalism through- out, Pristina was an excellent show, And yet... The juniors restored the script to its rightful position as the most important ingredient of any class show. The terse verse was often clever and always intelligent. After the -most recent class productions, it» was refreshing to find a show whose humor was derived for the most part from its own plot and characters, rather than from al- fusions to standard or current Col- lege jokes. It was good to see a show whose musical numbers were the highlights of, rather than the excuse for, the scenes, and where the personalities were subordinated to those of and characaters. The acting was of an haath high quality throughout. Again, it is to the lasting credit of the juniors that they were content to create a few major, clealy-defined characters. There were no “one- song” characters, no excess per- sonalities on stage bearing little relation to thé plot or to each oth- er, The two leads, Princess Pristing and the Duke of Bombast-Savant, were superbly played by Linda Hampton and Dodie Stimpson, re- spectviely, Linda possessed the looks, voice, self-assurance and the air to make her a completely be- lievable princess.

P. “Prospirty” Last week, the News concerned itself in this space with the first half of the’Republican war cry of “Peace and Pros- rity.” Today, the second aspect, an economic one, comes into consideration. The Eisenhower Administration lists a high level of busi- ness activity as one of its prominent: achievements. Yet the financial nrognerity taken. credit for, does not take into ac- count the large segment of the American population still in poverty nor the increasing amount of small business failures. At the same time, the means to,and underlying principles of this economic “prosperity” are obscured, as is the contrast between Republican economic thinking and that of the Dem- ocrats. The traditional Republican concept of economic devel-. opment is formal, impersonal and governed by the assump- _ tion that unrestrained, rather than regulated, freedom of action accorded to economic enterprises will bring results beneficial to all society. These ideas, close to nineteenth cen- tury conceptions of capitalism, are rather unsuitable (espec- _ ially when seen in the light of the ’30’s) to a complex econ- omy characterized by a high concentration of wealth. The Democratic tradition, on the other hand, calls for government intervention in economic processes and attempts to correct them, when the situation necessitates such aid. During the Depression years, the Democratic Party mobil- ized the material and spiritual resources of the country, in- F cluding the authority of the government. Today, the Eisenhower Administration has displayed little departure from basic traditional Republican economics. This fact is not apparent because the GOP has preserved many of the economic checks and balances developed under the Roosevelt and Truman Administrations. To destroy them would be a political impossibility. Yet, by reducing the role played by the government in economic affairs, the Adminis- 4 tration has created conditions favoring large.corporations, which have. benefited from the increased neutrality of the state. Since 1952, big business profits have increased by 61% and small’ business profits declined by 52%. The rate of small business failures rose by 46%. On the other side of the counter, the consumer will not benefit from conditions eB favorable to monopoly and higher profits. F The fiscal policy of the Eisenhower Administration has 4 been in line with its attitude towards big business. Taxes were reduced by the Republicans. Yet approximately 90% of every dollar in the tax cut went to the upper income brac- xets and corporations. This is not only unjust but bad econ- ; omics. Under expanding production, the long-run interest z of the country calls for an increase in purchasing power in 4 the hands of those who spend the greatest part of their in- come as well as of those who save the most. Another aspect of the government fiscal policy working for the large corporations and against the small businessman as well as the taxpayer, is the Administration’s policy of : “tight” or “hard money”. The results of this policy are the - difficulties of small firms in obtaining loans and the high in- terest rates paid for them. Als. pointed out by Walter C. Louchheim, Jr., a former S.E.C. official, in a letter to the New York Times, October 19, the Republican claim that the high- interest policy as a “restraint on inflationary measures by reducing borrowings from banks and financial institutions” has not proved true by the fact that bank loans to business ave increased, and “consumers have continued their heavy the public or Federal debt which has increased by $1.2 billion since 1952... The government’s continued borrowing at the present high interest rates will cost the taxpayer more.

(There is even a small faction for Peanuts!) We should like to state that we are disassociating ourselves from the editorial policy of the News and supporting the last-named can- didate. As for the state of the Pogo Dearls Before - - - By Patty Page Campaign on campus—it has had a surprising degree of success. Somewhat optimistically we order- ed 600 buttons from national head- quarters which miraculously disap- peared in a matter of days and at present 50 lafge-size buttons are putting in an appearance on more enthusiastic supporters! We are not too sure how this compares with campaign results at Haverford whose manager reports (and we quote) “The campaign is pushing along with the enthusiasm of a roused billiard ball.” Not be- ing an authority on that most in- teresting game, we have no way of evaluating the statement but we would hazard a guess that a “rous- ed billiard ball” is the “sine qua non” of enthusiasm! From The Balcony By Ruth Rasch The Sleeping Prince—By Terence Rattigan “What possesses distinguished actors to work with enthusiasm on} plays that could never have distinc- tion, even if they were well done?” puzzled Brooks Atkinson in his theatre column in the New York Times on October 14. I’m afraid that Mr. Atkinson will repeat that question to himself, in disgust and boredom, when he sees Terence Rattigan’s “occasional Fairy Tale” The Sleeping Prince. Michael Redgrave, star of one of last year’s finest plays, Tiger at the Gate (a play in which he gave a magnificent performance) and Barbara Bel Geddes, well remem- bered as a star in Tennessee Wil- liam’s great play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (her performance as thé un- happy wife, especially in the first scene of that play, will long be re- membered) combine their talents with those of one of the great la- dies of .the stage, Cathleen Nes- bitt—and perform in one of the most mediocre “comedies” to re- ceive full scale Broadway produc- tion in a long time. This play whose “scene through- out is a’ room in the Carpathian Legation in London” takes place in June, 1911. Michael Redgrave plays the role of the regent of Carpathia and Barbara Bél Geddes is the beautiful show girl Mary Morgan, known on the stage as Elaine Dag- enham; whom he invites to late supper at the Legation. The re- gent, whom Michael Redgrave plays with monocle, a swagger, and over- exaggerated, even repulsive ges- tures, does not believe in love. The American show girl, played by Miss Bel Geddes with good taste, does. She wins. . ‘At the end of ‘the play he is converted to her way of thinking. The final scene in which this mag- nificent conversion occurs seems to have almost the opposite effect on the members of the audience. Cathleen Nesbitt. fits into this fiasco as the Grand Duchess, wife of the regent, who married her to further the alliance between Car- pathia and Austria. Maybe it is because she is in no way committed to believing that love will win out, ” = and is thus slightly disassociated from the play, that Cathleen Nes- bitt is one of few members of the cast who acts without embarrass- ment and without embarrassing the audience. She is humorous, spirit- ed, and funny. She does not re- main on the stage long enough to save the play. - The major-domo and the first and second footman are the other members of the cast who act with- Their accom- plishment does not match Miss Nesbitt’s, for they do not have to out embarrassment. say a word. The play is set against the back- ground of foreign intrigue in Eu- rope and trouble in the Balkans. The actions. of the King of Car- pathia, played competently by Ron- ald Welsh, also absorb the audi- ence’s attention when love is not forestage. Letter to the Editor To the Editor: In the last issue of the News, I was quoted, in the election poll, as saying: “The distinction between the Democratic and Republican parties is becoming more tenuous every day.” Since last Thursday, I have had a decided feeling of re- jection — at home, by my _ col- leagues, and even by our dog, which died several years ago. The reporter, I admit, quoted me exactly, but what she wrote was, of course, the unofficial version. I reserve the tight to amend, repair, reverse, or completely to deny any- thing, or nothing. Really, if the reporter had been more astute, she would not. have written what I said, but something I didn’t say, and in that way she might have come closer perhaps to what I meant to say. I shall consider send- ing in the official version later. L. Dryden.

I would certainly vote for .Eisen- hower. The reasons for my choice, and the choice of many others, are set forth below, First, one must consider the hon- esty and integrity that President Kisenhower has displayed through- out his term in office. There is no doubt that he is not a man to ex- cuse dishonesty or disloyalty. I find no reason to doubt his intellectual abilities: We have seen what sort of a president Eisenhower ‘makes, and it is. more than satisfactory, —‘- One cannot ignore the fact that the President’s health is not per- fect: It is, however, the opinion of some of the finest specialists of the United States that Eisenhower has more than a “good” chance to finish out a second term in office. Eisenhower, moreover; would ‘not have accepted renomination’ if he did not fervently believe that ‘he was able to dispatch all the duties at Nixon Has Record Of Work, Success by Miriam Beames As a former ‘Congressman-Senat- or, and as the present Vice-Presi- | dent: of. the.

In a swiftly played game here last Thursday, the wind-: ed Bryn Mawr team fought hard to keep the Penn team from scor- ing. Center Forward Joan Park- er’s first half goal put Bryn Mawr ahead until the middle of the sec- ond half when the Penn forward line finally succeeded in breaking through the excellent defensive work of the Bryn Mawr backfield. The second team game against Penn was as much a battle of the elements as between the two teams. Wednesday’s rain left one Ralf of the field in the state of a swamp, through which the invading team had to wade before any goals could be scored. Fortunately, the first half of the game was played in greater part on the dry end of the field, which Penn was defending. Occasional ‘cries of “to the swamp” gave way in this period to the of- fensive. cry.of-“let’s not get our feet. wet for a while,” In this spirit and after several minutes of passing up and down the field, the Penn team scored the first goal. Retaliation came with only a few minutes to.spare in the first half of the game, when Lucy Wales, after missing previous attempts at the‘ goal, finally managed to tie the score, The second half of the game took on much the samé appearance. Both teams carried the ball to and from the “swamp,” and once again Bryn Mawr teamwork resulted in a score. But later, with only a few minutes to spare in the game, Penn retaliated to tie the score.

Dudden’s talk Monday evening, in the Common Room. The parties are not as different as the stereotyped opinion of the “anachronistic, ponderous G,O.P.” and the “reckless, spendthrift, dreamy-eyed .... donkey” would make them appear. Nor are they as different as they seem accord- ing to the two platforms: the Dem- ocrats’, which “points with pride” to-20 years of achievement under past Democratic administrations, and the Republicans’, which praises Eisenhower for saving the coun- try from “further disaster” at the hands of the Democrats. There are, however, some points of disagreement between the two parties, which are brought out in this year’s platforms. The* Demo- crats promise to repeal the Taft- Hartley Act; the Republicans, to improve it. The Democrats offer the farmer 90% of parity; the Re- publicans, flexible price supports. (Mr. Dudden pointed out that this “difference” was hardly valid, how- ever, as the administration is free to set the flexible supports at as high as 87% of parity.) Both parties, Mr. Dudden said, offer weak civil rights planks, The Democrats’ statement that they won’t use force to carry out the Supreme Court’s desegregation, ruling is slightly more ambigu- ous than the Republicans’ promise to support the ruling. In general, the “prevailing tem- per” in the Democratic party is more willing than are the Repub- licans to turn to the federal gov- ernment for aid of all sorts. There is also a difference of opinion as to the position of the chief execu- tive: Eisenhower views the job as a personal, not a party, matter. Mr. Dudden gave his own opinion éf political parties as different coalitions of groups within the country. Although the fact that the two parties are so inclusive often makes “many strange bed- fellows,” this is a ‘sign of the healthy political life of the coun- try.

It is this reviewer’s. belief. that with a few notable exceptions, the music and dancing were not par- ticularly outstanding. A few of the songs, however, were excel- lent: \the duet, “He Is not the Man for Me—You Are Decidedly in Love,” “The Perfect Gentlewom- an,” “What Scholar Can Explain,” and “The Drinking Song.” . The lyrics of all the songs were much above average, and “Pristina” was a hit largely because of the ingra- tiating delivery by a noble barber- shop quartet composed of Ellie Clymer, Maggie Gordon, Sue Op- stad and Gracie Van Hulsteyn. The three dance sequences were earefiilly integrated into, the action of the show. The routine of the kick-chorus was original and well- executed, and the dance of. the con- vent girls was effective and amus- ing. Unfortunately, the dance in the first scene was not as good as it might have been, and as a result the show got off to a- somewhat slow start.

Par- ticularly good were the convent, tavern and banquet scenes. Pris- tina was truly a beautiful show to watch; its color and richness com- pletely covered the vast gray reaches of Goodhart Stage. Perhaps the real star of Pris- tina was its director, Martha Bridge. Pristina was in every way a professional show. It relied first on an excellent script; this script was enlivened, but never overpow- ered, by song and dance. The act- ing was first-rate. The costumes and‘ sets combined to further the illusion of the play, without. dis- tracting from -the main action. Pristina clearly showed that it had been viewed as a whole, not as the accidental result of the work of a music director, a dance’ director, the stage crew and several person- able actresses. Pristina was bal- anced, -well-paced, beautiful and extremely well-polished, and the credit must surely go in . large part to Martha Bridge. ; (What this reviewer felt was missing .in Pristina, and what in her opinion kept it from being a superb show was its ability to es- show built up to a climax in which Pristina discovers the answer to the Duke’s riddle, and yet there was no growing excitement; the climactic scehe with the Princess and the Duke was not the high- light of the show; and the show came to an abrupt halt immediate- ly thereafter. No individual scene by itself, with the possible excep- tion of the Prioress’ song, was a “show-stopper,” and the main characters’ had deliberately been created as. rather un-appealing. One was very impressed with Pris- tina and yet hardly affected by it.
