XLIV-NO. 18 - ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1959 © Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1959 18 “PRICE 20 CENTS Alliance Decides Conference Topic; Purposes Of Labor To Be Defended _ “Labor Unions and bemberacy is to be the topic of this year’s all-college conference, sponsored by Alliance on Saturday, April 11. Representatives from both labor .and management will speak, and studénts from other colleges in the area have been invited to attend. Morning speakers, Louis Waldman, Labor Attorney in New York City, and Herbert Northrop, Employee Relations Counselor for General Electric, will give the labor and management sides of the question, “Are the goals of organized labor compatible with economic stability?” The first of the two panel discussions to be held in the afternoon will take place in Rhoads smoker. Moderating the discussion of the ‘right-to-work laws will be Mr. Howard Teaf of Haverford’s Economics Department. Mr. Arthur McDowell Union and Mr. Jerry: Smith of General Electric will represent Phiiladelphia labor and manage- ment. The second panel, on Organiza- tional picketing, will be held in the Common Room. Mr. W. Perry Hollocker of the University of Pennsylvania will moderate: Earl McDavid and Randy Driver, of Atlantic Refining, Philadelphia, will represent labor and —— respectively. “Alliance picked this topic,” says Judy Minkin, president, “because we wanted to get away from the strictly academic, and many people have. strong ‘views on this subject but don’t know much about it. There’s going to be a lot of stress on audience participation in the panel discussions—we want to get people to express their opinions, whether they’re pro-union, anti- union, or don’t know. We hope they will come versed on the subject and able to talk about it.” oe Post Vacation Calendar Tuesday, April 7 — Bosch’s Ped- dler: a study in Detection,” the Class of 1901 Art Lecture by Miss Lotte Brand Philip, Lec- turer in History of Art here.

According - derived from the study of blood || Glass Discusses Genes And Man The changes effected by inter- marriage in the hereditary compo- sition of various racial and ethnic groups, the development of bio- chemical genetics, and the relation- ship of genetics to radiation were the three aspects of “genes and the man” discussed by Dr. H. Bentley Glass in the fifth 1902 lecture on Monday night in the Biology Lec- ture room. ; 4. . In illustrating the first aspect of hig talk, the effect of intermarriage upon the composition of popula- tions, Dr. Glass cited studies of the American Indian which indicate a complete absence of the B and AB blood types in this race. This ab- sence is particularly noteworthy because it is among the Asiatic groups, from whom it is assumed that the Indian has descended, that the B type is most prevalent, This paradoxica] situation can be explained only by assuming that the Indians emigrated from their Mongol ancestors before the B blood type became common, or that, by mere chance, the type was not present in any of the particular tribesmen who became progenitors of the race. At any rate, following from blood samplings made in the area extending West from Mon- golia to the Atlantic Ocean, it is almost certain that the B type was introduced into Europe. by. these same Mongol groups during the Asiatic Invasions circum 1000 B.C., and that anyone with a B blood type is, in all probability, carrying Asiatic genes. Dr. Glass’s present work is a study of the assimilation of the American Negro into the white by Mr. George Kennedy, Assistant Professor of Greek in Haverford College The production last Friday and Saturday of Aeschylus’ three plays known collectively as the Oresteia by The Bryn Mawr Col- lege Theatre and The Haverford College Drama Club was an engag- ing experiment which demonstrat- ed a good deal about Greek drama. The production ran very smoothly under the devoted direction of Pro- fessor Robert Butman, assisted by Nina Broekhuysen. Spectacle, for which there is a greater need in Greek than in modern drama be- cause of the ancient avoidance of action on stage, was strikingly supplied in the arrival of the char- iot, the exhibition of the entangled corpses, the initial appearance of the Furies—they became a little tiresome later—and the trial scene. Agamemnon, in the first play An ancient audience would have been outraged at the presentation of women voting, but one must, I suppose, grant some_ indulgence to the sentiments of a women’s college. The smoothness resulted in part from the judicious cutting of the original to fit into a little less than three hours, the verbal and choreographic co-ordination of the chorus, and the music, which successfully suggested the religi- ous implications of the Greek the- atre, Technical Success As technique, then, the play was a decided success. Aesthetically it was less satisfying. The great- est weakness was a tendency to lose the dignity whichis a nec- essary quality of Greek tragedy and particularly of Aeschylus, who conceived his characters as greater than life-size. This means Jinty Myles as Clytaemestra receives Charles Knight, of the Trilogy. “Mass resistance to integration is dying”, stated Mr. Maurice Fag- Man, ‘Ex-Director of the Fellowship Foundation of Philadelphia, in his lecture on Integration in the Com- mon Room Tuesday night. First, the term integration is wrong and is never used in any law, constitution or court decision. (Mr. Fagan and his colleagues are working for, at most, a “non-dis- crimination”, They are “not try- ing to manipulate but prevent manipulation”. Equality must be asured in the six key fields to bet- ter racial, religious, and _ ethic group relations; security, rights, liberties, and opportunities, re- sulting in better understanding and acceptance of responsibilities. The main obstacles whites place in the way of integration today are fears of race characteristics and crime rates, the lowering of schoo] standards, and the drop of ‘property values and social status. In the north the key to the prob- lem of segregation is. housing. No Negro can buy a new house in ‘Philadelphia for any amount of money. Mr. Fagan is at present trying to help pass a fair housing NOTICE The News is pleased to an- nounce the election of: Chief Integration Obstacles Covered By Alliance Speaker Maurice Fagan bill in the state legislature. Mr. Fagan concluded by giving the statistics of the school condi- tions im Washington, D.C., where, wtih a 74% Negro enrollment, there have been no major difficul- ties and the standards have risen considerably in the 5 years that integration has been in progress. Friends Of Music To Arrange Operas The After Dinner Opera Com- pany will give the second event in the series of concerts and work- shops being presented by the Friends of Music on April 8. Often referred to as “Opera in a Suit- case” (their ingenious stage set- tings fit into two steamer trunks), this novel company of seven young Americans will present three com- plete operas: Offenbach’s “66”, “Sweet Betsy from Pike” by Mark Bueci and “Apollo and Persephone” by Gerald Cockshott. At noon, Richard Flusser, the Company’s director and producer, will give a workshop on contemporary Amer- ican opera which will be _ illus- trated by members of the com- pany.

Tickets are not necéssary for the workshop, Critic Praises Smoothness, Technique \In-Oresteia.but Finds-Lack of Dignity for one thing that character must not be eclipsed by personality, eith- er that of the actor or that assum- ed for the character, a feat easier of accomplishment if masks are employed, and that the expression of violent emotion called for in many of the parts must not be al-. lowed to deteriorate into romantic excess. Thus it seemed to me that those actors who exercised the greatest control, even to the point of underplaying their roles, were by far the most successful. This Paul Hodge did as Orestes, delivering his lines in a cadence which perhaps reproduced some- thing of that of the Greek Theatre. His unfortunate “You next” to Clytaemestra in The Libation Bearers must be blamed on Pro- fessor Lattimore’s translation, which is otherwise most sensitive. Aeschylus’ line se kai mateuo— “you too I seek”’— would «never raise a laugh, Further Evaluation Sue Gold as Electra and David Morgan as Apollo belong to the same acting tradition as Hodge, and Ned Wolf, playing Aegisthus, -|showed that it is possible to be statuesque and vigorous and at the same time to attain full ex- pression of character. Less can be said for the other actors: Janet Myles had the look but only occa- sionally the strength of Clytae- mestra, Agamemnon in the person of Charles Knight all but domin- ated her. In her case and in that of Cassandra, played by Rob Colby, a lower pitched voice would have achieved a great deal by substi- tuting bloodcurdling whispers for shrill cries. Jane Parry as Ores- tes’ old nurse was excellent, but Lee Yearly as the Watchman and the Herald tried much too hard. (Most astonishing of all was Harriet Higgins as a charming, fin de siecle Athene, who seemed to have wamdered in from tea at the Dean- ery to dispose by an inexorable femininity rather than a militant divinity. of the affairs of gods and men. Lack of dignity and victory. of personality over character was most disturbing in the chorus which was better, because more controlled, ‘when singing and chanting, worse when speaking. Identical costumes might have helped some; a Gothic hall hinder- ed quite a bit, In discussing Greek drama in the classroom it is tempting to de- scribe certain incidents as good or bad theatre and it is good for the soul to have a chance to see in an actual production whether one is right or wrong. The critics, and especially _a__nineteenth century Englishman by the name of Ver- rall,, have sometimes fretted over the lack of unity of time in the Agamemnon, where the Herald and subsequently Agamemnon ar- rive within a few minutes of the fall of Troy. The academic answer to this has been that while there_ Continued on Page 4, Col. 2 7 Notice The Libation Bearers, second play of the _ recently-produced Oresteia trilogy, will be per- formed at the Yale Drama Festival onthe evening of Wednesday the empca 24th.

Entered as second class ma/ter at tne Ardmore, Pa., Post Office, under the Act Wanderlust Lost Spring arrives at Bryn Mawr with all the subtlety of 70° weather after a night of frost and brings with it all its proverbial signs of change. That the college is not unaffected by this is shown by the migration of classes from stuffy Taylor-rooms to muddy spots near Senior Row, and by frequent excursions into native trees ... and even the menu is blessedly subject to change without notice. But contrary to this surge, one element that is not subject to change without notice is the residence hall of each student; full notice of planned room assignments is duly rendered by the usual ample amount of red tape, the first hint of which is an innocent dittoed sheet left in each mailbox about this time of year. But the results are simple: people either keep their rooms or they don’t, but no one remotely. considers moving to ANOTHER hall—horrors, foreign ter- ritory? If one wonders where the old American wanderlust has gone when one finds Bryn Mawrters thinking of the distance from Denbigh to Goodhart or Radnor to Taylor as “a long way,” anyone with a touch » of said wanderlust would be horrified to see the overwhelming percent- age of people who settle down to four comfortably assuming years in the same hall. Most Bryn Mawrters drop into what a geology-type might call an “incised meander”—they just meander down the corridor to anew room and sink further into the easy familiarity of their own dorm. Why are we so unadventurous? It’s not as though BMC were a gigantic, sprawl- ing university whose masses make friendly penetration to any degree utterly hopeless. oe The fact is that despite the cherished picture of the “Bryn Mawr Type” as a steel-trap mind housed in a bespectacled exterior of feverish academic pursuit, when it comes to establishing our main stomping grounds for the year we are mentally and physically lazy. Physically, throwing a few things in a carton is evidently too high a sacrifice, and mentally, we just can’t be bothered to buck the apparent (and apparent only) “tradition” of remaining sealed in one hall—simply for the sake of meeting new people and forming more accurate opinions of those who are now just fellow-gladiators in the Reserve Room or fellow- knitters at lectures. To those who say they stay in one dorm because “I’d rather make a few good friends than a ‘lot of superficial ones,” the most honest and direct reply is ... “Hogwash!’”? The: people who will “stick with” one, if already found, will do so despite another 800’ between them, and there is no better way of meeting the ones as yet unmet than hunt- ing them up. This is a place where the most drab-looking wallflower turns | out to have collected Syrian manuscripts since she was four and becomes suddenly animated at the mention of a new find; and the quietest’ of souls turns out to be writing’ a series of controversial! | articles for a magazine, etc. ad infinitum. In short, there are too many well-disguised fascinating people here and too little time to meet them. Merely a more liberal attitude toward those who do decide to explore a bit would relieve these from feeling that they had virtually announced to their dorm, “I hate you all and I’m moving where the good people are—so there!” Without adopting required dorm-changes which are the case in | some schools, and which would undoubtedly be received here. in a mood vaguely equivalent to that of about the fifth day of. finals, it. does | seem we could encourage rather than discourage-any exploring tenden- | cies one may have toward those exotic foreign domains—OTHER halls. | Spring, never half so sweet as now nor ever half so sweet’ again, now if never after, come spring. come aa with tree trunks in pools of water, green rain and yellow willows, daisy wheels and buttercups, meadow larks aoe song sparrows, come spring come with milkmaids and shepherdesses, colin clouts and marris dancers, may rings and tennis balls, white’ shirts and boys running, — come spring come _ with : broken hearts mended, wars hates.and. cares and fears forgotten, _, green strength and. careless love, lazy» wits and shallow fancies, » _spring, never half so sweet as now nor ever half so sweet again, now if never after, come springcome.

She deseribed her study: of that poet as a “transforming experi- ence,” and one which illuminated not only Blake’s poetry, but also that of the other English symbolist poets: Shelley, Spenser, Yeats, and others. ‘They speak a common lan+ guage, in which fairy tales express things which can’t be expressed reflection of the eternal, and its images represent spiritual, mental nature. Such a language of symbol- ism remains strangely invariable in its terms. It is always fresh and relevant, and only the style ofthe | ; poet changes, according to hig per- iod “in history. Miss Raine stressed that a com- prehension of this language of symbolism is very relevant for materialism in thought, and in their writings express only the in- dividual. human personality. ~This she described as a “terible im- passe,” which would eventually ne- cessitate a return to symbolism, “the highest form of poetry.” Miss Raine then read and inter- preted two “enchanting fairytale poems ” by Blake: “The Little Girl Lost and Found.” They have their roots in the period of the classical revival in. England, around 1790, and refer directly to the famous On the first level of interpreta- tion, the story that emerges from the poems is that of Persephone, carried off by Pluto into Hades. Below this most apparent mean- ing lies a more universal one—the| theme of the immortality of the soul, Leyca’s death is merely sleep, and her parents weep because they don’t understand this.

She deplored the general opinion. that we would win because ‘we’ al- ways have, and went on to say, “I would use the term decadence to describe the condition manifest in such an attitude.” (Explaining what prompted her to write the letter (she has never done this sort of thing’ before), Ann said, “I just agreed with what he had to say, and I had a couple of comments to add. I get really disturbed by everyone’s attitude of just sitting back and watching and saying, ‘My, my, isn’t that ttoo bad.’ “I know Mr. Stevenson’s article didn’t mention any specific sugges- tions for action, but I-think that his main purpose was to arouse in- Herest—=in a democracy the mass of people have to want change be- fore they will accept specific sug- gestions for it. , “T mentioned in my letter that we could face the situation best ‘not through a mad -pursuit of Russian goals but through a level- headed re-evaluation of what we as the American nation stands for.’ Stevenson urged improvement of our economic competition, which is the Russian strong point right now, and this would mear .pursu- ing Russian goals.’ But a cold war—well, it has to be fight fire with fire sometimes, and econom- ically and diplomatically we would have to work this way pretty much.

Ars Apoetica by Jessen Ketchup ’58 (with thanks to Archibald MacLeish) A Definitive Study, Of Occasional Rhyme And/Or Reason Study is not meant to end Nor mend (The traditional tea is. such: At which the few agreeably eat much). The trump card, Custom, says: Never a midnight vig- Il keep, but for Bridge. In class x seolaek, should be palpitant and mute As an unstrung lute A question is not not That to which the answer’s “what?” (The sole saw to this season’s well bard scene may be: ‘Faint heart never - - - ‘One to Fair Lady’!’”’) Wise ivied walls are those That the good student from the bad sun’s rays foreclose (A weekend’s that in which Even a pressagent Nike might forsake her niche) So that she may create from great book-strewn quarries The ten page answer to her querries Though a nice library ’*s gnomic tome does oft less bear, than bury (No, there’s no excuse, save unwithheld truth, for these Select parentheses) Now, see the open mind will, Formed to its pellucid best, equal but ‘vacancy’ For sure, a college should not mean But be. To Arms The time is come. The time, in fact is past. But let us not despair.. All may yet be saved, if we shoulder the axle, put our ear to the ground, our probosis to the grindstone and our heart in the right place. Now is neither the moment nor here the place for indifference; events are stirring, and all men’s souls are or should be aquiver. The issue before us is immediate, crucial, life-or-death, and consequently demanding. Our very way. of life is at stake; our liberty, our ideals, yea, even our sense of the right hangs in the balance. Everything which we daily press to our bosoms may be snatched therefrom. Shall we now be craven, shall we cringe and crumble before more necessity ? No. Nyet. Non. Nein. Ie. But rhetoric solely will not suffice. Alctions alone will rise to this unprecedented chal- lenge; bold, sober, daring, considered, imaginative action. New dreams, new vistas, new visions. What matters one in such extremity? One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so? Nonsense. One letter, one telegram, one loud voice crying in the wilderness can turn the tide, crest the wave, tip the scale. To be uppermost demands our utmost, each of our utmosts, a crowd, a conflu- ence, a grand alliance of utmosts. Let us set forth abreast upon the highroad, marshalling our courage and battering the heavens. with that immortal hymn which has so long inspired and informed our gracious land: Columbia, the gem of the ocean of grain, It’s a grand old flag, oh say can you see? Mine eyes have seen the glory. Hail Columbia! God bless America, my country ’tis of thee.
