VOL. XLIV—NO. 4 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1958 © Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1958 PRICE 20 CENTS Convocation Celebrates Opening Of Biology Building; Dr.’s W. Fenn, J. E. Smadel Main Speakers At Ceremony Sriiadel- Bees Inspiration Of Youth Vital Task “The most important contribu- tion to the advancement of sciences is the inspiration and development of young people toward careers in science,” declared Dr. Joseph E. Smadel in his address, “Medical Research—1958”, at the Convoca- tion opening the new Biology Building last Saturday afternoon. Dr. Smadel is an Associate Direct- or of the National Institutes of Health, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Dr. Smadel said that it was nec- essary to consider the motivations of the contributors to such a new building. The motive of the Quak- er founders of Bryn Mawr was to give an equal] opportunity to wom- en to gain knowledge and to add to the world store of knowledge, Dr. Smadel noted. ‘The new type of contributor, on the other hand, is, according to Dr. Smadel, mo- tivated by a desire for good health. A well educated person today needs a “familiarity with the sci- ences,” Dr. Smadel stressed, so that he can “understand daily de- velopments.” While a new building makes the job of the teacher somewhat easier, it is not, according to Dr, Smadel, a guarantee that more young peo- ple will become interested in the subject. It is his belief that, in the final analysis, the burden rests upon the teacher to, influence the student to follow in his footsteps. ‘Dr. Smadel said that this process is somewhat haphazard since all teachers are not necessarily dy- namic, Since in the past Bryn Mawr College has contributed many biol- ogists to the world, Dr. Smadel concluded, in the future, “we look confidently to Bryn Mawr.” Colonial Historian Talks On Franklin, Political Journals Under the auspices of the De- partment of History, Dr. Verner W. Crane will speak on Benjamin Franklin and the Political Journal- ism of the Eighteenth Century, on ‘Monday, October 27. Dr. Crane, presently Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Michigan, will be speaking on the Mallory Whiting Webster Lecture Fund, the history department’: endowed lectureship. The foremost scholar on Frank- lin today, Dr. Crane, who took his Ph.D. at the University: of Penn- sylvania, has written three books on American Colonial History: The Southern Frontier 1670-1732, Benjamin Franklin — Englishman and American, and Benjamin Franklin and a Rising People. He has also edited Benjamin Frank- lin’s Letters to the Press, 1758-75. From 1916 until 1958 he has béen a professor of history at Michi- gan, and is well known by Bryn Mawr faculty members as he once “worked with Mr. Dudden who now teaches American history here, and was a colleague of Miss Rob- bins when. she was at Michigan| last term.

Alumnae, Friends Give Laboratories,Classrooms In New Biology Building| The total amount of $1,029,763.00 which has gone into the Biology Building to date represents con- tributions from a number of sources. These include alumnae and friends of the college ($525,-. 656.00), the National Institutes of Health ($314,157.00), business and industry ($5,850.00), and. founda- tions, including corporate foun- dations ($184,100.00). Still to be raised is $163,740.00. Many friends and _ supporters are commemorated with tablets and named laboratories and class- tc rrooms in the Biology Building. Among them are a tablet in the entrance hall “In apprecation of the generous contributions made by Charles J. Rhoads, Mr. and Mrs. John D.

Rupen Puzzled “Former Soviet Prime Miinister- Vyacheslav Molotov, banished to Outer Mongolia over a year ago, has vanished from sight and is ap- parently no longer in Mongolia. “That was the news brought back to the United States by a political science faculty member, Dr. Robert A. Rupen, who just returned from a six-week visit to Russia and Mon- golia.” This report of the recent activi- ties and discoveries of Dr¢ Rupen, Assistant Professor of Political Séience at Bryn Mawr until this year, is from the Greensboro, North Carolina Daily News. “Mongolian newsreels of five months ago show Molotov attending to his duties as ambassador to Ulan Bator, the capital city of Mongolia. He attended Mongolian national. holiday ceremonies July 11, but he has not been seen since that time.” The Daily News quoted Dr. Rupen as saying, “It is quite clear he is not in Mongolia now, and the people don’t seem to know Continued on Page 6, Col. 1 ‘today, Dr. Biology’s Future Hopes Stressed by Dr. W. Fenn “The future was never so bright for biology .*. in the past it has lagged behind, but biology will not be content with a back seat.” This pronouncement was made by Dr. Wallace O. Fenn in his speech at the Biology Convocation last Saturday afternoon; his topic was “Prospectives in the Biological Sciences.” Dr. Fenn is a Profes- sor at the School of Medicine and Dentistry of the University of Rochester and also president of the American Institute of Biolog- ical Sciences. Biology’s Future Bright Dr. Fenn stressed the fact that the AIBS has done much to bright- en the prospects for the future of biology. This organization, accord- ing to Dr. Fenn, is publicizing bi- ology for what it really is—he pointed out that some people still see a biologist as a “butterfly chaser”. One of the major problems of the modern biologist is to discover facts about man; as Dr. Fenn maintained, ““the real secret of the universe is man himself.” He continued, ‘Man must know about man in particular and matter in general.” Salaries Are Problem A. major problem of the biologist Fenn revealed, is the salarjes which the experienced biologist with even a Ph.D., can earn. As a result of this situation, Dr. Fenn said, many students are attracted to more lucrative fields such as medicine. Dr. Fenn pointed out that in Russia being a student is a well paid profession and, that while we are probably ahead of the Russians in biology, “we cannot maintain our supremacy” unless we re-eval- uate our system. He added, “I doubt that education is better in Russia “than in the United States,” but, “in Russia there is more de- mand.” . Dr, Fenn concluded that modern biology offers many challenges and the new Biology Building is “Bryn Mawr’s answer to the spirited challenge.” Beatniks, 1960, Have Word Swing Beyond Limited Plot by Miriam Beames and Debby Ham 59 Jeopardizing the lives of peripa- tetic observers, a roaring motor cycle jarred the Goodhart audi- ence into recognition of Beatnik land. And Beatnik land of ’60, fortunately, proved to. be a. far. cry from North Beach, where the.Beat ARE Beat, where they have given upon life, and life, we gather, has given up on them. Inside Out was alive. The Juniors dared to do what no previous class has done; they adopted’ two entirely divergent themes (those of the Nirvana Laundry and the Lower Depths Cafe) and took full advantage of each one’s peculiar possibilities.

Students Show New Preferences For Language Study; Bryn Mawr, Big Seven Note Increase In Enrollment Last fall two occurrences focused attention on foreign lan- guages°and language education in American schools. The first of these was Sputnik I; thé second was the incident of the unfortunate newly appointed ambassador to Burma, who, far from knowing the native tongue of that country, could not. even remember the name of the Prime Minister. Effects of Furor Noted Now, a year later, the effects of this furor on the study of foreign languages~at--various. colleges, and particularly at Bryn Mawr, may be seen. Perhaps the most spectacular development in this field is the imcreased enrollment. in Russian i Alison Baker ’62 year than last. The saenatioal in- crease is from 9 to 41. Big Seven’s ‘Enrollment Up Among other Big Seven Col- leges, Smith’s Russian courses are attended by 488% more ‘students than. last ‘year ~ (from 17-100); Wellesley’s by 475% (8-46); Vas- sar’s by '275% (16-60); Barnard’s by 200% (9-29); and Mt: Hol- ~* . “NOTICE The News is happy to an- nounce the election of its new Editorial Staff members: Yvonne Chan ’62 Marion Coen ’62 Linda Davis ’62 E.

' The Juniors put themselves in the anomalous.-position -of plant- ing an. essentially non-musical theme into a class show that is bound by taste as well as tradi- tion to be sprightly, with the con- sequence that “Let’s Get Organ- ized” and the “Wig Song’ seem- ed superfluous, It is interesting that the lead was a non-singing part. Having chosen to present the Beat Generation with its unique dialogue potential, they were left with the problem of avoiding Beat- nik monotony. This they did by the startling and delightful intro- duction of a Mikadoesque laundry, and with it, the justification for a chorus song—incidentally, the best song in the show. But though we hesitate to be stodgy about what we freely enjoyed, we must say that the diverting Chinese motif set up a competition with the Beat theme; from Act II on, the show lacked the original verve of either mood. Furthermore, the gomplica- tion of both plots forced the latter part of the play into abundant ex- planation. But we say the above in retrospect; there were many, many splendid scenes in the sec- ond half of the play, and we gladly relegate unity back to Aristotle. The characters outdid the show. There were no dull, insipid, or in- definite personalities among the lot. The singularity of each role gave “Inside Out” some of the attributes of a better variety show. Six nations (if Texas be one) and seven accents were boldly presented; a rasping rock ’n’ roll singer, a lyric tenor (from Yale), a guitarist, a lumbagitic drunk, and a would-be ballerina displayed their several talents. At every turn a new and deverting element amused the audience. After Act I, the Beat Generation atmosphere, which had united the various characters, dissolved; each one. pursued-his-unyielding course oblivious to the others or what might have been the show’s direc- tion. Although there was a pleth- ora of characters, and excellent ones, the plot of the show could not quite sustain them; on the other hand, the characters sus- tained the show. And, among a cast of many out- standing characters, there is no doubt that John Eustace Kallikak, Daddy-O, the Beautiful Beatnik, carried the show. If Euny had been alone on the stage for the en- tire time, we would have been de- lighted with a three-hour solilo- ‘quy. As it was, we came away muttering, “With you I could sub- limate,” and “Man, you’ve got the beat”. Her characterization, while perhaps no stronger than many others in the cast, had complete ease—she was spontaneous, not stereotyped. Maisie Smithers, the little girl from Midland, Texas, who came to the big city and wandered down the primrosé path to Beatnik land, was lived down to every “Raw, quivering nerve-ending” by Lou McCrea. “Maisie’s (strenuous) Rock and Roll”, midway through the show, proved that she had the talent the “group” had been dis- paraging; the show would have benefited from another of Maisie’s songs, especially when she could have had the ) opportunity. in Act I Continued on Pigs 5, Col. 4 T HE COLLEGE NEWS Wednesday, October 22, 1958 THE COLLEGE NEWS. , FOUNDED IN 1914 Published weekly during the College Year (except during Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter holidays, and during examina- tion weeks) in the interest of Bryn Mawr College at the Ardmore Printing Company, Ardmore, Pa., and Bryn Mawr College.

On Disdain and A Demonstration This Saturday, if present plans are successful, a “Youth March for Integrated Schools” will proceed down Pennsyl- vania Avenue to the White House. Such ah occurrence deserves our attention not only be- cause it involves our contemporaries, not merely because it touches on one of the two or three epoch-making issues of our time; but because the method which these students will employ has been a primary one in democratic procedure, and is, we believe, repugnant to nine out of ten students here on campus, and perhaps proportionately elsewhere. Let us assume that boredom with the segregation-inte- gration issue is: widespread, that we the majority would be ‘delighted never to see-another Southern governor on another magazine cover. We also suggest that the word “youth” is largely without meaning for us, and the term “college-age” is abhorrent. These hypotheses, if true, are interesting, but beside the present point. | It is essentially not the issue, nor association with an age-group that would stop us from participating in a demon- stration like this one. We are mentally, and would be phys- ically, stopped by the fact that it is a demonstration, a pur- poseful creation of a disturbance. Here is an institution sac- - yosanct in every country where mobs have triumphantly carried scrolls of signatures blocks long to the doorstep: of authority. Here is an instituiton utilized by our sex, whose members at one time smudged the sidewalks around 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with their kerosene lamps and not in- frequently spent a night or a week in jail. Amd here is an in- stitution from which we shrink instinctively. We are unable to explain easily the fetish for decorum, the unwillingness to become actively involved in such mat- ters that we think prevalent in our generation (if we may be pardoned the use of this term) and to which members of the News Board implicitly signing this editorial themselves ad- mit. If sophistication has replaced zealousness, we are not sure that this is bad, but we mistrust it. op It might be argued that in this case resorting to march- es is to emulate and thus condone the mass protests, both orderly and disorderly, in the South. Incensed southerners, it may be said, have found these demonstrations necessary because reasonable and dignified methods are closed to them or will not. suit their unreasonable and undignified purposes. May not the “Forces of Integration” (including collegiate theorists) sponsor proceedings through the proper channels —i.e. the Courts, as both the Executive an Legislature have declined to aid or interfere except in extremity? Here a most important point must be raised—the very proceedings ‘in the “proper channels” may constitute a cold and mechanical tyranny of the majority. Our disdain or reticence must not fool us: demonstrations may be the only way a minority can ee protect itself, and similarly, the majority must use methods other than those by which it can control. To date the case for integration has only been stated legalistically, by random individuals and by organizations in policy statements. For the reasons above, we think the legal mechanisms are dangerous; the smattering of opinion we think is inadequate. If a demonstration achieves a strong and non-enforcable statement of a position we hope is right, it deserves at very — a non-participant support. A SELECTION FROM by A. A.

Athens, before proceed- ing to the human sacrifices. Other commentators assign, a date some- where in the 18th century, and trace it to Wales, where. young maidens used to.race after the Will o’ the Wisp singing words which, translated into Greek, mean “Elpis megale, nai megale.” Now, however, the mystery seems to be solved. Profesor Edgerton B. Farthingale of Oxford has just published volume one of a three- volume History of Lantern Night, with an Analysis of Lanterns, Their Colors, and How to Swing Them. According to him, the date of the primitive celebration is more re- cent than was previously believed; in fact, it did not precede the founding of Bryn Mawr College. We now quote Professor Farthin- gale: “In the years before the col- lege’s electrical system had reach- ed its present exalted state, noc- turnal conditions, especially in the vicinity of the library, were very nocturnal indeed, that is to say, black, or, in other words, dark. For freshmen as yet unfamiliar with the campus, the situation was dan- gerous, Almost every morning, the body of a-freshman had to be removed from the pool in the Cloi- “ters, and not infrequéntly a young lady would be ‘found wandering “Tale Told By...” through the basement stacks~ in a dazed condition, looking for the exit. “At last, the sophomore class, im memory of those students who had already perished, gathered the freshmen together in the Cloisters and presented them with lanterns by which they might find their way out again. The freshmen, to thank them, burst into song, and, since in those days everyone majored in Greek, the first words which came into their heads were “Sophias, philai, paromen.” “The presentation of these lan- terng soon became an annual affair, and was further enlivened when a student, after a vision, composed ‘Pallas Athena Thea’. It happen- ed that a few years after the be- ginning of the tradition a number of juniors and seniors who had been watching the proceedings with unbecoming hilarity were eaught by the indignant underclass- men and, for punishment, made to perform calisthenics while holding lanterns. As a result of this en- forced exercise, they developed un- usually powerful arm muscles, and it is from them that the present- day breed of Lantern-Swingers is descended. Now, it is true, the species is more highly developed, possessing not merely strength, but a precision enabling each one to keep exactly two beats behind the next.” Professor Farthingale is to be congratulated for his brilliant so- lution of a hitherto baffling prob- lem. To: his words, we can only add that, considering the fame of this tradition and the symbolic value which lanterns have come to have in Bryn Mawr life, it is fortunate that those sophomores ‘back in the Dark Ages had never heard of flashlights. Play, Art, Photos, Star In Arts Night by Betsy Levering Arts Night is early this year, Saturday the eighth of November; and though, says Anne Farlow, its director, “people haven’t had the whole year to ferment artistically, otherwise it is a good time to have it.” cil, Arts Night is, in fact, a lively, wide open and somewhat organized unveiling of those activities which the Council fosters: music, the dance, dramatics, the plastic arts, this year photography, and occa- sionally rhetoric. A prominent place in the coming program goes to a compacted three-act (now one-act) play, “The Uninvited,” whose author is Tim Sheldon, a Haverford senior. It was written last year for Mr. Butman’s playwriting class; Sue Gold wil! direct the production. The numerous other attractions of the evening are still in the try- out stage; specifically, there will -be further tryouts on Thursday night from 8:30-10:00 for those who couldn’t come last Friday af- ternoon, Certain it is; however, that there will be an art exhibit; certain, that is, should Gabrielle: Yablonsky in Pem East receive drawings, paint- ings, and sculpture. “Art” is this year liberally defined to include photographs. These, if of a. size suitable for exhibition, should go to Holly Miller in Pem West; for those who have only snapshots and small negatives Holly will make enlargements, for a nominal price. As Haverford has recently form- ed its own Arts Council, and as it has in the past made valuable con- tributions to the musical and dra- | matic aspects of Arts ‘Night, it is as much in evidence as' evér. Under the aegis of Arts Coun-. Sloane Discusses Visualized Deities Divinity in art is “a critical problem for the human race” said Dr. Joseph Sloane in his lecture Tuesday evening. And by visually representing divinity man is essen- tially’ trying to answer the ques- tion, ‘“‘What does God look like,” is he visible at all. Dr. Sloane pointed out that ques- tion occurs in the sermon on the mount, “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.”, but one may question the meaning of the word see. Thomas Aquinas in reducing all knowledge to a syllo- gistic system which purported to contain all possible questions, asked whether any created intelli- gence could see God and answered that the intellect can see the es- sence of God. St. Thomas was sur- rounded with the physical evidence in the paintings of his time of visions of God, and apparently supposed that from the likeness in an image one could form a likeness Continued on Page 5, Col. 1 } Letter to the Editor To the Editor: twas very interested in your presentation of the integration is- sue in the South, as discussed by five students in the issue of two weeks ago.

There were other college students also working there, one of whom had come up from Pennsylvania to spend the entire summer, living and working with the patients. I had always been a bit appre- hensive about working in a mental hospital. Would there be violent patients who, if-you won in a game of tennis with them, would hit you over the head with the racquet? Would there be a feel- ing of embarrassment between the patients and me because they - were different, and would they feel ashamed for a normal person to see them in their condition and might they thus withdraw even more? Would I be able to make Sany contact with them, to make real friends among them? I want- ed to find out, and so I became a volunteer. No Fear or Embarrassment In the month during which I was at Butler nearly every day from nine to four, my questions were answered, The patients who play- ed tennis usually won all the time and were quite pleasant about it. I encountered no fear or embar- rassment because I learned :that a volunteer must not act afraid or constrained; she must be as friend- ly and outgoing as. possible in or- der that the patients will accept and like her, Thus she can accom- plish her work—t6 make the men- tally ill feel at ease in the presence of normal people. My duties were most enjoyable. I went on picnics with the patients, swam with them, played tennis, badminton, ping-pong, and double solitaire. In the Occupational Therapy departmént I helped them with their work, knitting, sewing, weaving, and cooking. I also took inventories of supplies and straight- ened out drawers full of crochet hooks. We sang, played the piano and drew pictures together. In fact, _ I did just about everything from typing in the office to decorating a patient’s birthday cake, and every moment was fun, To ob- ,, Serve ill people in the process of ” getting well is far from aapeu ing.. - A patient whe is able to sal about and do things is benefited, I think, merely by the sight of a new face and by a new enthusiasm. Hither calls his attention to some- thing besides himself and the sur- roundings he has become used to and perhaps tired of. His after- noon is brightened considerably if he can play tennis with a young volunteer. An old lady appreciates a sym- pathetic listener; the nurses are often too busy. Above all, your work makes the patients feel that someone cares about them enough .-- to come and help them without thanks or pay. The volunteer him- self is richer and wiser for the ex- perience. The Bryn Mawr League is in contact with two nearby mental hospitals, Embreeville and Coates- ville. These institutions would be glad for students to come over for a week end or for an evening to get .up games of chess and various other amusements. Patients about to be dismissed need contact with people outside in order to feel that they can get along with others when they leave. Other patients need actual care, such as being fed and helped with things a they cannot do for themselvés: Whatever needs you can fill will help these people a great deal and leave you with the knowledge that you have done something truly wo and effort. Brun Mawr Students of "20's Considered Themselves “Apart from... Spectacular Features of... ‘Balluhoo It is my hypothesis that throughout the period that fol- lowed the First World War, Bryn Mawr preserved its central ideal intact and therefore. maintained a eulture often in opposition to the rest of society. This does not mean that the Bryn Mawr student was an atypical member of hér gener- ation, but only that there was an almost’ complete dichotomy be- tween her college life and her private social life, and that when she was immersed in her college activities, she was under the influ- ence of an all-important and im- mutable ideal: the primary value of “things of the mind.” While the Bryn Mawr girl took an active part in the intellectual revolt of the time, she never questioned the value of her education, and as a part of a community of dedicated scholars she found a secure cen- tral touchstone that enabled her to keep her perspective and avoid the confusion and uncertainty so prevalent in society at large. Culture Within a Culture When I say that Bryn Mawr maintained a “culture within a culture,” I do not mean that the college remained static, while the world changed dround it. I mean, first of all, that during any period the members of a small and in- tensely dedicated community are apt to be insulated from the “out- side world,” and their particular set of values is often in opposi- tion to those subscribed to by the “man in the street.” I can only show the. effect of the 1920’s upon a college community; the people I will talk about are intellectuals and only representative of what was happening to people of a simi- lar nature under similar environ- mental conditions. They were not immune to the spirit of the times, but they stood apart from, and often criticized, those Americans who fostered and enjoyed the more spectacular features of thé “Bally- hoo Years.” That the girls considered them- selves to be set apart from the outside world ‘is indicated by the several editorials concerned with the danger of almost completay withdrawing behind the “gray walls of Academia and the female- crowded cloister.” (College News, 1925.) On the other hand, the 1924 Class Book rejoiced in the follow- ing manner: Oh, what joy To see a sanctuary For our country’s youth, A habitation sober and demure For ruminating creatures. Chateau Universitaire et Romantique That people outside the college thought of Bryn Mawr as some- thing “different” is illustrated by M. Chevrillon’s remark that, “A Bryn Mawr nous pouviens nous croire dans le chateau universi- taire et romantique de la Princesse de Tennyson (College News, 1923); or by the numerous charges that the college represented a “hotbed of radicalism.” One of Mrs. Nahm’s classmates recently declared that she would never send her daughter to Bryn Mawr for the simple rea- son that she now realized that her years there were spent in a “closed universe.” Idealism Counters Disillusionment But in speaking of a Bryn Mawr culture I mean more than the inevitable and natural isolation of an intellectual community; for although the Bryn Mawr girl fur- nishes a good example of the criti- eal and “debunking” attitude of those engaged in the current “Re- volt of the Highbrows,” I found one very. important _ difference which distinguished her’ from other intellectuals of the time. Ac- cording to Frederick Lewis Allen, (Only Yesterday, 1931) the keynote of the intellectual re- and Gertrude ghee ge to be “fix. all-the wires. | continued gaily, “we are heard all As everyone knows “there is nothing new under the sun.” We of the fifties, a decade yet lack- ing an epithet are often reminded of this,especially when we are. the subject. of unfavorable compari- son with our predecessors in the earlier part of the century, both on and away from this campus. We are vaguely shadowed by the past, vaguely reminded that our spirit is-not what it might be— and we seldom seem to have much to answer save that nothing ever | happens to stir us up. For purposes of comparison (as there are alwas those who will compare) or mere piqued curi- osity as to the nature of our predecessors, or better still, for a sense of the past as a source of our particular development, and the character of the atmosphere we inhabit, THE News publishes this article as the first in a series. This is the introduction to a study, made by Carolyn kern ’59 (history department) for a socio- logical research project. Miss Kern studied at Bryn Mawr in the 1920’s, the mores and ideas of the student here in that lively age, and the place held by the college in relation to a constantly changing social atmosphere. Much of her material is derived from interviews with students who were here in the: period, or from college publications. found in the word “disillusion- ment” and in the phrase “the bilge of idealism.” These people were concerned with tearing down the old order, with little thought and less optimism as to how it could be rebuilt. The Bryn Mawr girl, however, never ceased to evince a seemingly dauntless idealism, an idealism which bordered on smug- ness. Three of the people I talked to remarked that the thing they most remember is “How incredi- bly self-confident we were! We thought we could and would make the world over.” Lippmann noted that “What most distinguishes the generation who have ap- proached maturity since the de- bacle of idealism at the end of the War is not their rebellion against the religion and moral code of their parents, but their disillusion- ment with their own rebellion.” (In A Preface to Morals, 1929). I found no evidence that the Bryn Mawr girl did not have boundless faith in the efficacy of her rebel- lion, perhaps because, as mentioned earliér, her central tenet was based on something universally recognized as solid: the possibility of progress through enlightened education. — In attempting to resojve the question of what enabled the Bryn Mawrter to preserve her idealism intact throughout the post-war dis- illusionment, I believe that I found the answer in the person of M. Carey Thomas, president during the immediate post-war years. She was a splendid idealist and a magnetic personality, fully capable of shaping the young minds at her disposal. The sheer force of her own personal idealism provided a balancing factor to the “debacle of idealism” experienced by the “Lost Generation.” Every morning at chapel she talked to the girls about the possibility of remaking the world through social reform and the new opportunity and obligation for women to take part in.this. “Train yourselves for the highest possible service. Be- come scholars, teachers ... re- search “workers, physicians, law- yers . . stateswomen, wise re- formers. We need leaders desper- ately.” (President Thomas, ‘ quoted in The College News, 1920:) She liked to quote Anna Howard Shaw as saying, “Men know best about some things, but men and women together know all there is to know about everything in the world.” Miss Woodwofth remembers, “You could always tell a Bryn Mawrter from an. _outsider—we were so much more jaunty. and’ self-confi- dent. Miss Thomas taught us that we could get anything that we wanted.” THe Sun Also Rises did not fall on ready and fertile ground within M. Carey Thomas’s domain. Her work at the begin- ning of the decade gave a peculiar flavor to the: Bryn - Mawr: of the 1920’s, an idealistic flavor which distinguished her revolutionary intellectuals from __ intellectuals elsewhere. To Be Continued. WBMC Presents “Mostly Music,’’ Can Now Be Heard Campus-Wide by E. Anne Eberle “Just tell everyone that we’re certainly back in business and to LISTEN!” exclaimed Dee Wheel- wright, Publicity Chairman of WBMC, the college radio station. “Reception? Yes, we even have that this year. You see, the sta- tion hasn’t made a go of it in the last few years, well, mostly because the wires were all corroded out— rotten,” she continued, “but this year Undergrad gave us $75 and Haverford gave us some money— they have fellows working on the shows as technicians, too, you know—so we had enough money to And now,” she over the campus, not just in three rooms of Pem East and Denbigh, or whatever it was last year.” The idea of such mass commun- ication inspired Dee to more com- ments on. the program, “Yes, we’re on from 7:00-10:00, Monday through Thursday evenings. In the morning? No, no ‘misery shows’ at the crack of dawn this year. But we have everything else. Mostly music programs right now—in fact, all music—but we're going to expand our broadcasting time as we go on, so we'll have other “kinds. For instance, we with other things if it works out. “But all kinds of music—jazz, mood music, folk songs, show tunes to study by if they can stand it, but don’t put that in. And class- ical—Nahma Sandrow—do you know her?—she has a fabulous classical program on Monday nights, 7:00-8:00; it’s her com- mentary that really makes it—she tells about the music in plain, human language. “And on Tuesdays from. 8:30- 9:00 Roo Stainton and Alice Tur- ner have a show called ‘The Rock and: Roll Queens of Bryn Mawr.’ Oh—and the most wonderful thing —for the people with pop music shows, the record shop here in Bryn Mawr will loan us records and exchange them all the time for current ones. Isn’t that great?” Dee’s enthusiasm was too strong to. pause for.concurrence, so she flew on with her gush of informa- tion. ..“Let’s. see, mostly music, Oh —and Sue Freiman does the news —really good—she gets the stuff out of the New York Times and writes up her own reports. Actu- ally, we have about 35 announcers and as many technicians; most of them do one show a week.” | “And don’t forget Dee’s wonder- ful folk music shows,” “said Roo Stainton, who had dropped in out now “A, live one _called| Exotic Morocco Locus Of Travels Of BMC Junior by R. Rubinstein It is indeed difficult to organize kaleidoscopic impressions of a three-day visit in Morocco—one conjures up memories of a dizzy- ing succession of sights, smells, feelings—impressions that seem to defy rational, systematic treat- ment. What comes to mind are the haunch-squatters, the ‘fati- mas” (women) in their “djella- bahs” (veiled garb) the camels, the straw-mud huts. Or one may recall one bewildering) moment in the “medina” (marketplace) when and haggling shoppers seemed to suddenly close in on the unsuspect- ing visitor.

Nouasseur is one of the five American Air and Naval Bases built in Morocco during the past six years. My brother-in-law is one of the 7000 men stationed at Nou- asseur, 20 miles out of Casablanca. Thus, our excuse for a summer of travel—a family reunion in Mo- rocco after he had completed half of his tour of duty. From Madrid to Casablanca None of us in our intimate and quite forget that drive from Madrid to Casablanca. Finally, after a series of delays—some caused by Franco’s “unfinished’’ highway system, and another, by a Fiesta, and a session with “los toros” in Algeciras — we were crossing the Strait of Gibraltar on a midnight ferry. The palm-lined waterfront in Ceuta, Spain’s only remaining protectorate in Morocco, was already darkened as we found our way to the nearest hotel. The choice was limited in that deserted city during those early morning hours; whether all Ceutan plumb- ing was out of commission or whether that was a permanent feature of the Hotel Terminus, we shall never know. Six a.m. and we were on the road again—the donkeys jogging along to market, , saddled down with produce, the squatting. and wizened “Mohammeds” (any adult male) along the side, the rickety buses of laborers all contributed to the panorama. The morning mist was rising over the brown- toned countryside as we passed through -the last Spanish Duana and entered the independent state of Morocco. Tetuan, Larache, Al- cazarquivir—everywhere were the same fields, farmhands and yes, camels. In the villages one could see the omnipresent khaki of the new Moroccan bureaucracy against the backdrop of the old—the stalls of the local barbers, blood-letters and craftsmen. Then on to Port Lyautey. The name, in honor of that famous French Governor General, has now reverted to the original, Kenitra, signifying the thorough-going attempt to remove all vestiges of imperialism. Modernity With 12th Century Rabat, the capital, was next. Ignoring its majestic, modern white facade, one realized that its Kasbah Oudaya and Hassan Tower dates back to the XII century when it was’founded by the Almo- had Caliphs. Our destination, the great port of Casablanca, is equally a European, as it is a Moroccan city. Similarly, one is struck by the modernity of its architecture, the skyscrapers, the deluxe hotels, the “El Mansour” and the “Marhaba.” There are the elegantly dressed Europeans, the white stucco villas, the broad ave- nues so lushly lined with flowers and palms.

Students Invited To Folk Dancing by Yvonne Chan All those who have a sincere in- terest in folk-dancing are welcome to join Betchen Wayland’s group of folk-dancers every Thursday at 8:30 p.m. in the gym. Betchen, a Pembroke West freshman from Pasadena, California, has always been very active in the folk-danc- ing group in her home town. Betchen stresses that this is not: a square-dance group; _ instead, round dances, circle dances, couple dances, and line dances will be practiced. Her collection of rec- ords, plus the gym’s, will provide’ interesting folk tunes from many of the European countries—Ger- and the Balkan States, whose varied dances inter- est a large number of people. ‘Pros and Beginners Welcome Last Thursday Betchen taught some of the girls the steps to many of the folk-dances. The girls learned enough, she says, to help teach the novices next week. Be- ginners as well as “old pros” are welcome, as the mixture of both will prove interesting. Haverford to Join Group One of the girls has found out that a number of the Haverford boys’ are interested in the folk- dance group, Permission has been obtained for them to join the group next week. _« Betchén hopes this group will create an increased interest in the field of folk-dancing.

Breakfast ~ Lunch Dinner Mawr by Pembroke East’s Carol Waller, The explosive snapping of the whip, explained Carol, who learn- ed the art of flinging it from an enthusiast in Illionis, is caused by its being drawn out of a loop form- ed in the air faster than the speed of sound. It is, thus, the cracking of the air, and not actually the whip, that produces the noise. For this reason, Carol maintains, sling- ing the bullwhip is not.so much a question of strength as of tech- nique. Handmade In West The whip itself, hand-made somewhere in the West, is a raw- hide braid with tapering lash mounted on a cylindrical swivel hondle, The 12-foot plait narrows down to a single leather strip, a piece of rope, and, finally, a nylon “cracker”’—the last employed to protect. the leather and amplify the sound. The art of the bullwhip, origin- ated and still used by Mexican cowboys to control herds, has reached a high point of develop- ment, and many a Hollywood hero has employed it to flick a cigarette from the lips of a desperado. Even Mexican cowboys, gauche by com- parison with their cinema counter- parts, have used it to knock a fly off the ear of a sleeping bull. Goal Is Target-Whipping Carol, whose goal is this type of target-whipping, is fascinated by the potentials of the instru- ment but regards it strictly as a hobby. She is completely willing to teach the necessary techniques to anynoe interested, and, already, has ‘acquired a number of enthus- iastic disciples, .Each time she practices on Pembroke green the circle of interested spectators grows larger. Who knows?—one day bullwhips may rival even hula- hoops on the Bryn Mawr campus. Morocco Report Continued from-Page 3, Col. 5 or work basket. But just cross one of the city’s central thoroughfares, leave the French speaking popu- lace and enter the tortuous me- dina. One is transported back through the centuries; knowing the Arabs’ dread fear of the “evil eye” one leaves the camera behind. In this narrow and confined area, hundreds continue to exist and mul- tiply. Disease, filth, and poverty rear their frightful heads ‘in all directions; fly-covered slabs. of. meat dangle from the stalls, while the omnipresent blind beggar ag- gressively’ thrusts forward his hand, and the laden donkey tram- ples the open wares, Yet in the midst of this remarkable street scene something pleasant assail§ the nose; it is no doubt the mint tea that is being brewed in some corner alleyway. Eleanor Roosevelt Initiates Reforms The initiative taken by Eleanor Roosevelt, after a tour of Morocco, resulted in action—‘La Nouvelle Medina” a “housing project” of sorts was recently completed. And there are other such evidences of progress. Basically Morocco must bolster her economic position by increasing exports of her main “resource,” her marvelous rugs and copper and brass wares. Po- litically, there are indications of the paths she will follow. For one thing, it is questionable how much longer any American military will be on Moroccan soil, for the origi- nal agreement was made with the French prior to the Moroccan in- dependence in 1954. Now in 1958 the government of Mohammed V is telling the Americans, “go home.” Only last month our am- bassador, in Rabat, agreed in principle to a withdrawal, while just two weeks ago, Morocco, with Tunis, her sister state, joined ‘the Arab League. From Suez to Gib- raltar the world of Islam is stir- ring—just how much of a “Suez Line” Morocco will follows is still unknown, /MGGKG" 10 A RtorsTERED TRADE-maRK.

Dr. Sloane illustrated the at- tempt to visualize God with ref- erence to several cultures: the quasi-human Egyptian hippotomus goddess with her animal snout jux- taposed with the coiffure charac- teristic of divinity is opposed to the anthromorphic representation of Ammon the Sun God. The Indi- and god Shiva, with four arms in a ring of fire is a physical manifes- tation’*of a god who is all power- ful. Nirvana the Japanese god has an infinity of hands symbolic of infinite mercy, and his fat asexual /tace with an air of deep meditation contrasts _ with the Greek Zeus, ~ represented as a physically magni- ficent man. All these are efforts to objectify the power beyond man, but the Christian God presents the most difficult problem of all. The God of Genesis and the prophets is all powerful and vindictive; the God of Michelangelo, as the cre- ator of Eve is less a being of wrath, and more of an omnipotent patriarch. . Another problem is the Christian God is essentially three, father, son and holy ghost. The artist has recourse to the scriptures for the appearance of the first two mem- bers of the trinity, as in Genesis, “God made nian in his own image.” Jesus is the word made flesh in human form. The holy. ghost is another problem; John refers to the holy spirit as “like a dove,” it is also represented as a dozen tongues of fire, or a blaze of light. If God is in human form, how- ever, how is he to be distinguished from other men? In early Chris- tian art the mysteries of divinity were so sacrosanct as to be repre- sented only symbolically.
