XLVII—NO. 15 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1962 © Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1962 PRICE 20 CENTS Lawyer Treats Civil Liberties With Regard To Supreme-Court ‘ Leonard Boudin, a New York lawyer specializing in constitution- al law, discussed “The Supreme ’ Court and Civil Liberties” on Mon- day evening. He punctuated his lecture with references to several “eases he argued before the Su- _Maids and Porters - preme Court. Mr. Boudin prefaced his remarks with an historical enumeration of the political events which have led to the present status of civil liberties. Beginning with the fall Plan Gala Review For -those~-who enjoy~- animated entertainment, April 28 is the date to remember. The Maids and Por- ters’ Show has been renewed in a slightly different form this year, and the Maids and Porters as well as the sophomores are. already working on what promises to be one of the most gay and spirited performances ever to rock Good- hart Hall. The show entitled The Follies Bizarres, will consist of a narrator, chorus, soloists, and} kick chorus with appropriate cos- tumes, lights, and sets. This type of show, because it offers more diversity than the concerts of the past and at the same time,escapes many of the problems invelved ‘in attempting to produce the tradi- -tional three-act musical play, has met with an enthusiastic response from the Maids and Porters. ~ Sylvia Barrus and Nina Dubler are Co-Directors of the show. El- len Rothenberg is ‘writing the script. Music in the show will con- sist of favorite songs from. shows which have been given in the past by the Maids and Porters. These shows include: “Oklahoma,” “Any- thing Goes,” “Annie Get Your Gun,” “Paint--Your Wagon,” “Ro- berta,”’“H. M. S, Pinafore,” “Por- _gy and Bess,” and “Carousel.” The success of this show may determine the future role of such shows on the campus.’ The . Maids and Porters and the sophomores hope that the quality of the per- formance and the. support given by the student body will help perpe- tuate the tradition of Maids and Porters’ . Show. of France in 1940 we have been in a period of so-called “national peril”. This has necessarily color- ed the ‘political. temper of the country. Mr. Boudin next mentioned the key legislative acts which resulted from this situation. The Smith Act was the first of these. It made it a federal crime to conspire to overthrow the Government by force and violence. In 1947 the House Committee on Un-American Activities was reinstated. In addi- tion, the McCarthy Committee and “tthe Internal _Security_Committee were formed. In-1950 (during the Korean War) the Internal Sec- urity Act’ ‘was _ passed, | This provi- ded for the “registration of com- munist~ action organizations,” as well as enabling the President’ to declare a national emergency and, thus activate a concentration camp- type of institution. In 1954 the Immunity Act stipulated that. in cases where national security was involved a witness. could be com- pelled to testify so long as “immu- nity” from further prosecution was provided. Furthermore, various executive actions expressed a deep concern for internal security. Mr. Boudin cited the Attorney General’s list of subversive organizations as an example. It is mainly on the judicial level, however, that individual civil lib- erties receive: due ‘consideration. Here an attempt is made at bal- ancing the individual rights against considerations of national secur- ity. One of the cases used by Mr. Boudin was the Barenblatt case. The decision in this case was based on the theory of “a balance of in- terests.” This means that Baren- blatt’s “right to silence” was bai? anced against the. court decided “that the: Govern- ment’s interests were overriding. Mr. Boudin considers this a falla- cious balance, since individuals’ rights. should be balanced not against the Government but against the people and their right to association. It all boils down to determining “who is master - of this house that is called -democ- Continued on Page 6, Col. 2 Re CANDIDATES FOR OTHER eAMPUS ELECTED OFFICES First: Sophomore Vice-President” - Secretary, , to ‘Self-Gov. of Undergrad of Undergrad. . “Abbott; P. *Cassebaum, F.

Unfortunately the exigencies of time and work prevented the Akoue staff from complet-' “ing. their report.

The next day: the Daily Penn-. sylvanian came out with an. edi- torial which branded the Student Government as totally “irresponsi- ble.” It advocated the abolishment of SG.

This incident (as described above) cannot but evoke’serious reflection on the status of a college newspaper. It would seem that two key problems need tobe considered. The first of these is the relation of a college newspaper to the student government and the second is its relation to the administration. : : A free press can only preserve its freedom of thought when it is independent of any ‘éxternal control. Up to now, . the Daily Pennsylvanian has depended upon Student Govern- » ment funds and upon ads for financial support. This means ‘ that, necessarily, the Student Government could exert influ- ence on the editorial opinion of the paper, in so far as it could effect the discontinuation of the paper. ~ As to the action taken by the administration, we con- demn it in no uncertain terms. There can be no justification |. for flagrant violation of what is in fact the core of-free_soci-. . ety: freedom of the press. Censorship is the tool of a, dicta- _ torial power. It is used to silence opposition. Where no opposition exists, where the opposition has no voice, there can be no democracy. Any censorship” must be effected by the editorial board itself—not by any external authority. The relative questions of what is obscene, what constitutes dis- respect. for the administration and what is a too violent con- demnation of the student government must be determined by the editorial board. This means that the board has an undeniable responsibility : it must exercise self-restraint; it must exercise discretion; it must recognize and. strive to “maintain standards of integrity and dignity. A college newspaper by its very nature is subject to administrative scrutiny. While we realize that the admin- istration ‘is necessarily concerned with the reputation of the college, and we concede that in the case.of outright libel the administration has the privilege of taking action, we cannot \eondone such an extreme measure as suspension. For the administration, too, has an undeniable responsibilty—that of “ maintaining the principle of freedom of the press on the col- lege campus. Only in so far as the administration realizes this responsibility and acts accordingly can a free, indepen- dent college press retain its right to protest.

I gan not understand : how any- one can say that the recommend- ed‘changes in the driving rule were not sufficiently explained to the student body previous to the meet- ing of legislature. In my hall the meeting to discuss these recom- mendations was -announced - for days in advance; the suggested changes were posted and their |whereabouts were made known. At the hall meeting it was emphasiz- ed that additions and amendments to the proposed rule were wel- come. And the suggestions which |? were made were peougnt up at legislature. I am fairly sure that the proce- dure in other halls was similar. The problem, then, is not one of poor circulation of news. It is the same old one of lack of interest. Although the legislature agenda was posted,.very few read it. At the hall meeting only about 50% of the students were present. The general attitude, although there| were some exceptions, was, “Let’s get this thing “over with quickly!”| No one. is obligated to be inter- ested in campus affairs or to, at- tend hall meetings. But those who do not. take advantage of the op- portunities to hear what is going on and to voice their opinions should stop fooling themselves by blaming their ignorance on poor communications. Communication is a two-way process; a receiver as well as a sender is required. Sandra C. Goldberg, 62 Campaign System Flaws Give Rise to: ‘Barbarism’ Dear Editor: I have a few comments to make about the dinner system, which is surely ‘the most uncivilized elec- tion process imaginable. These are expressed out of exasperation and despair rather than bitterness’ or rancor. ° Why is Bryn Mawr the only col- lege which employs this method of campaigning? Instead of using the «open, “barbaric” system of all other colleges, we use a method which encourages undercover cam- paigning and vicious gritlings. The dinners make an absurd attempt._to preserve meaningless impartiality. There is no reason why we should be impartial. In an election one should be encouraged to have biases. This system is a farce because it presupposes that |we have no biases. The candidates are theoretically presented to a completely open-minded .undecided campus. In reality, however, the majority of the “spectators” have already made up their minds. '|Their questions are therefore large- ly. designed to put their candidate in. a favorable light and to discre- dit the others. We should be able to support our candidate openly or to discover the stands of the other candidates, if we so desire, in a more realistic and a more humane way. Furthermore, many of mm most capable potential candidates” are deterred from running -because4 they refuse to subject themselves to such a humiliating experience. Putting the elections into a more realistic: framework would pre- serve the dignity of the candidates.

PresidentTalks To the members of the Self-Gov- ernment Association: The three: weeks of elections which are-now upon us are among the most ‘important and exciting - of the College year. During the rest of the year many of us are busy primarily with\personal con- cerns, but for this short time early in thé second semester it is the duty of each of us to concern our- selves seriously. with Bryn Mawr . as, the student community of which we are a part. : Bryn Mawr is a unique college in that students handle so many of the responsibilities which are often given over to adult advisors or Deans: This is an especially im- portant consideration for Self-Gov. The Self-Government Association \ has been given great amounts of autonomy and freedom because it has demonstrated corresponding amounts of yesponsibility and ma- turity in handling its affairs: The officers of Self-Gov. bear a large share of the responsibility — indicate. The officers_of each suc- cessive administration are guided: by several considerations. Self-Gov. has a long -tradition,. a. “spirit,” which - is pervasive and changes slowly. It also has a Constitution full of- specific rules which clearly prescribe conduct and from which each administration can work. But within this spirit and grow- ing beyond the rules, each Self- Gov. and each officer individually, | has a great deal of leeway in determining what Self-Gov. will mean to them, to other students, to the College Adminis- tration, arid to the Faculty. It is because this range of freedom a so broad and so important, phat. these coming elections become of great significance. May I urge each one of you ‘to make an effort to get to know your Self-Gov. candidates and their idéas both through the dinner sys- tem and through private conversa- tions. They are looking forward to expressing themselves to you and to. hearing your criticisms and comments on Self-Gov. And may I urge you to vote as if the next Self-Gov. officers could determine the very nature of the community within which you will live for the next year. In part, they can.

Page Three - German Visitors Offer Opinions «On Berlin, American Students ' By Valerie Schoenfeldt and Chris Whitehead On Sunday, March 4, Bryn]. _ Mawr campus played host to three visitors from one of the hot spots oe the Cold War — West Berlin. Dr. Otto Wenzel, President of the Young. Berlin Socialists, Herr. Udo Loewke, Representative ‘of the So- cial Democratic Students, and Herr Peter Mudra, President of the Student Parliament of West Ber- lin, arrived here at noon for a stay which included dinner in Rhoads, a tour of the campus, and an infor- mal, tea with their hostesses and Mr. Kline of the Russian and Philosophy Departments. Dr. Wells of the Political Science Department contributed to arrangements’ for the visit. Thesthree gentlemen are mem- bers of a group of ten, all leaders of various German student organ- izations, visiting the United States | -. for two- weeks to explain conditions, “in the divided city, present the Ger- man view of its problems,—and-to become better acquainted with the «country and people “in whose thands we are.” Dr. Wenzel, Pro- fessor of History at the Free Uni- versity of Berlin, is a dry-humored scholar whose contributions to the conversation lent .a note of preci- sion and expertise. Herr Mudra, genial and self-assured, combined perceptive insights with ironic wit. Herr Loewke was characterized by _.@ relaxed charm and impressive political acumen. One purpose of the gentlemen’s visit was to clear up the many misconceptions of America held by Germans. Their stay in this coun- “try is ‘brief, but they “have learned-|~ much and have been favorably im- pressed by the American people and institutions with which they have come in contact. “On their part, the visitors were also very informative about-the German poli- tical scene. Herr Loewke is confi- dent that Berlin Mayor Brandt "(Socialist Party) will play an in- creasingly decisive role in German politics. \ Herr Mudra explaiiiad the ‘aferta of West Berlin students to help East.

According to _ Herr Loewke, more than half of the two thousand West Berliners caught on the wrong. side of the wall on August 13th have been re- _. turned to their families with. the ' aid of students. .In. answer to many questions about the morale of the West Ber- lin population, Herr Loewke ex- : plained that the flight of residents into West Germany has created no great problem because the West German government offers advan- tageous conditions (subsidies, low- er rénts, job opportunities, etc.) ‘which are designed to attract vig- orous young: people to the city. This program has been so success- ful that there is not only an influx of “new” people from West Ger- many, but also people who had al- ready left the city are — in large. numbers.

Meg. Porter and Paula Pace, who spent a week at Sarah Lawrence, traded impress- ions with Vivian Brodkin and. Lin- da Newman, the Swarthmore ex+ change visitors, before an inter- ested and articulate audience which seemed to realize the value of this type of exchange program to the Bryn Mawr student body. Individualism, observed Meg and Paula, sets the keynote for life at Sarah Lawrence, both at the aca- demic._and_.social__levels.

Faculty ad- visors act almost in. loco parentis to their advisees: - — The only required course is the freshman “exploratory” course, which may be in any discipline, not necessarily in one in which the student is especially interested. % “By Ann’ Witman Each member of the Tri-College Chorus is fully aware that the be-. hind-the-scene activities of an Or- mandy concert often eclipse the actual performance.

Radcliffe ate Sponsors Proposal For UN University| Students and professors at the University’ of Michigan have re- cently proposed a new idea in world affairs — the establishment of a United Nations University. Under the name of the ‘Association. for Committment to World Responsi- bility, the students have set forth the objectives and general plans for such an institution in a recently published paper. These plans are based on the contention that-only with an inter- national center for research and learning can the many problems which countries share in common be ‘solved. A United Nations Uni- versity would deal with scientific and developmental problems which plague most countries - especial- ly, the underdeveloped nations. It would allow scholars and scientists, to pool knowledge more. freely, would train workers in interna- tional organizations and ‘ultimate- ly, try to create an “international culture.” The university would emphasize service work and would require. that all students devote some time to the United Service Corps —=~a technical service or- ganization much like our Peace. Corps. The. pamphlet also deals with some of the more practical prob- lems which a U. N. university im- plies. It suggests a neutral coun- try for the location of the uni- versity to. avoid having an~institu- tion like the Patrice Lumumba University in the Soviet Union which is “‘international” ,only in name. National - universities, pri- vate.groups, and UNESCO are all put forth as possibilities for spon- soring the university. Financial support can be obtained from pri- Si a aaa _ Enid--Greenberg ’63 The “Solid South” is undergoing a revolution, Those who deplore the one-party system: of the South as undemocratic may be rejoicing in the evidence of Republican ac- tivity there.

The pamankn let also suggests that all students know at least two languages. Stu- dents would be admitted on a fbasis of ability and quotas, by geographical areas so as to have a truly international representa- tion. Professors would also come from all countries and would be both permanent and visiting.

In their concern for acquiring education in depth, Bryn Mawr stu- dents often lose track of what is going on in the outside academic world.

Lubell considers the fail- ure of labor to organize in the South, the rise of a new middle class in the Southern cities, and the vast extension of Negro rights accompanied by political intensifi- cation of the race issue’ as the three significant factors contri- buting to this conservative revolu- tion. The South has been undergoing .a period of rapid industrialization. This has resulted in the growth of a new middle class centered around ” the cities. It is this group, rather than Southern “liberals” which has been fostering two-party politics by voting Republican. The interests. of—this—urban middle class are clearly what would be termed “con- servative” ‘by Northern standards. A second party for the South based on: the industrial interests of these people thus might leave America even more conservative than at present. The laboring class gained .by this industrial middle- class. The urban wiidicdan has not supported the Negroes in the ques- tion ‘of: civil rights. Lubell writes;° “no longer will it suffice to attri- bute racial prejudice in the South merely to poverty and inadequate education.” Lubel] drew this con- clusion from his study of the 1950 |defeat of Frank P..Graham in a Senatorial contest. Graham repre- sented the “enlighterod” South. As president of the University of University of North Carolina, he had fought for free speech and for labor’s right.to organize and had served on President Truman’s | Civil Rights Commission.’ His de- feat was unquestionably the re- sult of vicious segregationist at- tacks in the last few days of his campaign. What disturbs. Lubell is the education of those who des- troyed Graham’s. career. “Frank Graham was defeated not by a foul-mouthed Theodore: Bilo but by - a nationally honored lawyer, who was chairman of the Board of. Trustees of Duke University. It was not only the bigots who turned against ‘Doctor Frank’ but many ‘progressive’ North Carolinians.” If. Southern--labor remains-wnor-—- ganized and unable to exert its influence, and if the new midlle- class continues to ignore or oppose the question of civil rights, the rise of a second party in the South may provide no improve- ment over the present “undemo- cratic” one-party system. And_ for those who hope for a more politi- cally liberal America in the ,fu- ture, a two-party South is cause for concern, = The future of the South is cer- tainly a question to. be pondered. The above. considerations only touch upon some of the aspects of this involved problem. What the South would be like under two par- ties, and whether a two-party ‘South would be in the interest of the- country, is perhaps too early to decide. But is’ it not too early lie opinion in determining peer: |to..consider. the problem.

She added that it be- ‘came almost-a point of honor for each freedom rider to complete the’ full term of his sentence instead of posting bond. In evaluating the freedom. rides, Miriam commented, “The changes we effected were negligible when seen in the light of the whole prob- lem of segregation in the South.. We did not convince the southern whites ‘that integration is_a worth- while goal, and we did not achieve the collapse of segregation. I think the value of the freedom rides lay in their articulation of the need for an outside stimulus to inte- gration. and in their giving impe=- tus to, concerted... action .on the part of southern Negroes.” A os German Visitors Continued from Page 3, Col, 2 Columbia and Princeton.
