André Philip, a professor at the University of Paris, and for- mer French government official. . M. Philip spoke on “France and Africa,” considering the eighteen newly-independent African nations, linked, with one exception (that of Russian-oriented Guinea) to the former mother country by ties of friendship and of economic neces- sity, replacing the former French Union: M. Philip mentioned four ~ Williams Deplores - Plt Of Migrant, - Legislative Apathy] With candor, humor, and earnest- ness, Senator Harrison A. Williams, Jr. of New Jersey spoke Monday to the students of Bryn Mawr on “At- titudes Toward Social Legislation in “the U.S. Today.” Senator Williams, in-the~ 12:30: Goodhart lecture spon- sored by Alliance, considered some of the problems our affluent society has not yet solved, Among ‘these problems are aid ‘to education; ~ old-age“ care, “urban -de- velopment,.-and assistance’ to those people caught in the dynamics of a —changing economy. _Senator-Williams, Chairman of the Senate’ Subcommit- tee on. Migratory Labor, spoke par- ticularly of the problems of the two -million migrant farm workers who follow: the ‘crops across. the country each yedr. : Migrant :workers,, who earn less than one thousand dollars a year, suffer from ignorance, poverty, and disease. The Williams Subcommit- tee on Migratory Labor passed five bills through the Senate last sum- mer to provide funds for health, and ' education measures, to require regis- __tration -of migrant labor. contractors,. to restrict agricultural child labor, and to establish .a national advisory committee on migratory labor. ~~ Senator Wifliams stressed the need for’ our society to~-place emphasis on what is important, such as educa- tion, rather than on frivolous niat- ters. Our attention must directed toward what America is becoming,’ Senator Williams declared. In answering questions from the students, Senator Williams _provid- — on_Page 6, Col. 1 ‘educated principally should come frem countries. which’ ‘prerequisites’ for ‘economic devel- opment and stablity..The first of these prerequisites, political .inde- pendence, has already been achieved. The second, agrarian. reform, would. involve reorganization .of the “inner market” for agricultur- al products, while the third,. sta- bilization of prices of African ex- ported raw. materials, would re- quire the creation of an “organized European market,’ giving prefer- ential ‘treatment to these pro- ducts. The fourth prerequisite, the presence of men capable of carry- jing out the program of economic achieved by the training of pro- universities. A, “middle class” in these countries will be composed of graduates of secondary and _tech- nical schools, in both in and Africa. ' “ After the fulfillment of these four prerequisites, the question of the typeof economic reorganiza- tion. which will best suit the needs of the African nations remains to be considered. Industrialization will be accomplished with difficulty. “A new social order has seldom been created through an uncontrolled profit motive alone, asserted M. Philip.

The Libertarian realizes ‘that man is imperfect, that he would, if permitted, put his own interests first to the detrime others. How then can ‘the greatest amount of freedom be preserved? As the great- est danger to freedom is concentrat- ed power, its dispersion is of para- mount importance.

Tonight Louis Henkin Keynotes : Series on “Can Man Survive?” ~~ the University of "Posnayivarila and currently visiting Lecturer in Politi- cal Science at Bryn Mawr will open a series of programs on “Can Man Survive ?”—a study of war and peace in the nuclear age. | His keynote address will, discuss the°role of the individual and the academic community in our present dilemma and raise some of the ques- tions to be explored in the ‘panels of the following weeks. These panels, consisting of ‘both faculty and students, will attempt te analyze and define some of the ying paints of view. Scientists, his- entists, will cover a wide range of approach- es in the hopes of stimulating en- lightened and informed thought. An open discussion will follow each ses- sion. On April 19 “The Consequences of Nuclear Weapons” will be consider- ed, including such questions as ‘the effects of living with a demoraliz- ‘ing fear; ~~changed™ conceptions of “War” and “Peace,” the contention that. these are matters only for “ex perts” and other ramifications of the topic. ‘The secorfd panel, April 23, on “The Logie of the Deterrent,” aM | will’ define and examine such phras- esas “deterrent” itself, coufiter- force, ‘arms control and the First nel on “Alternatives to the Arms Race” will consider which must come mament; the role of the U.N., our | presuppositions about ’ Russian aims and the nature of: trust.

To “articulate” is not just “to say” but means to see and analyze relationships. ‘l'hat is, we can define the field of in@uiry; we can formulate the questions; we can learn how to think by testing-our statements and re-defining our questions; and as’we do so, the audience is doing the same. At the first stage, it is not a question of deciding whether we need ‘‘facts” or “opinions” but of. putting the questions—ot trying to find what the first questions are. As those ques- tions are framed by the press, they are pre-judged; as they nity of intellectuals, we have a duty to put the questions straight, to define them rigorously, to to ask questions which every citizen, every human being whe is awakened to the problem must ask. We have to get beyond “Red or.Dead,” “Peace or Freedom,” etc. We have to see what it is we are asking when we ask, “Can Man Survive?” _°Thus, Mrs. Werner Berthoff, member of. the English Department, explains the aims ot the joint faculty-student steering committee which — s set up the series: of programs outlined on page one. The ews heartily supports both the idea and the goals of this series and: hopes that every mem- ber of the college wei sed will participate actively in the discussions. Changes i in Hall Deine Included among the often more -aesthetically pleasing ~signs that spring is approaching is the planning-of-who- wilt live where next year. The procedure for reaching this deci- sion will be somewhat different this year. The quota system _—the number of students from each class who may reside in a hall—will be retained, but upperclassmen who wish to move will now draw early to determine the hall they will be in next year, and then will draw for rooms. after the mem- bers of their respective ‘classes within the hall have drawn. In the past, students wishing to move-into a different hall have been required to wait to draw for a room until all the students already living in that hall had completed their draw- ing. Now, the opportunity of obtaining a good room is given on a basis of class seniority rather than length of residence within a hall, As already pointed out, however, those with- in a class already residing in a hall wilt have preference over members of their class entering the hall. An exception to this system. is*made in the case of freshmen entering a hall from Batten House, East House, the College Inn, the Gradu- ate Center, and the Deanery. These girls draw for rooms. along with the members of their class already residing in the hall which they are entering. ‘While this procedural change is hardly a major one, it , does improve an upperclassman’s chances of obtaining a good room if she is considering moving from her hall. The News welcomes any thange such as this which contributes to the campus becoming less dorm-oriented. The Edge 8, The News, which, in its past issues has been grimly cri- tical of various aspects. of the college, has now—like the rest of Bryn Mawr—found a new. place to relax and cast a sunnier eye on the world. - coffee-at reasonable prices,-singing, guitar playing, student art work, a place to go to talk and/ smoke when we become jaded of dorm smokers—all these things have endeared the new Edge to us. The Edge was recently founded for Bryn Mawr and Hav- ---yerford-students-by-#he-Main.“uine Ecumenical Council... It is located in the Villevand open from:9 to‘1 Tuesday through Members of local churches serve as wait- resses. Students: froni the two colleges provide the enter- tainment and thé art which decorates the walls. ‘This new opportunity for students to display their creativity is, we feel, the primary value of the Edge. We are, however, more than ready to admit the secondary‘values. Since the closing of the Beau and Belle, we have been in great need of a place to take a date in the Ville. With the opening of the Edge we have found a haven for food and talk after 10:30. There is, however, one criticism which various people have voiced. Since the Edge is often overflowing and over- crowded and since one of its purposes is to provide a place - for discussion on fhe college level, the presence of many high school students every night is somewhat resented. We have no place to entertain after 10:30 at night; these students, at least, have their own homes in which to talk and have guests. Of course, the News is not fully acquainted with the financial considerations of the Edge which may make-the admittance of high school students ncessary, but-we feel the management might, at least, think .about the possibility of restricting admission to only collegiates, Compared to the value of the new-coffee-house, however, we feel the criticism is minor.

Theater of Absurd: lonesco Presents — -Rampaging Rhinos by Brooks Robards ’64 “Absurd is that which is devoid of purpose .. . cut off from his re- ligious; metaphysical, and transcen- dental roots, man is lost; all his ¢gg- tions become senseless, absurd, use- less.” Playwright Eugene. Ionesco is speaking here about the Theater of the Absurd. Because his play Rhinoceros ran on. Broadway, Ionesco is probably. the most well-known: (in the U: “$7 dramatist of the Theater of the Ab- surd. The Theater of the Absurd began in France, and has_ since spread to the United States; where it is firmly entrenched in New York’s off-Broadway. It grew out of the existentialism of ‘such writers as Albert Camus, and claims among its ranks Jean Genét( The Balcony, The : Blacks), Samuel. Beckett (Krapp’s Last Tape), and Edward Albee (The Zoo Story), as well as Tonesco é ‘The members of ‘the Theatre of the Absurd endeavor to create a non-rational world, as Ionesco indeed seems to have accomplished in his plays. In The Lesson, ‘a profés- sor tries in vain to teach his.young student who adds and multiplies with ease, how. to divide. Finally, in his frustration, he kills her. In Rhinocerds, a young man, Berenger, tries to cope with a world in which everyone begins to turn into rhinoceroses.. He ‘becomes’ involved in an argument /over whether the rhinoceroses:have one or two horns and are therefore African or Asian. When the girl he loves joins the ranks of the~ rhinoceroses, Beringer himself begins to want to transform. But. in the end he decides “I’m the last man left, and I’m staying that way until the end. I’m not capitu-{ Ionesco mixes-the--ecomic withthe pathetic, the. ridiculous with the meaningful._Although he-saysthat he is dealing with the absurd, that is only half the story. For in por- traying the irrational and the silly, Tonesco does not’ detach himself en- tirely from reality; his. ambivalence is confusing at times. He, along with the other members of the The- atre of the Absurd, and the “College of Pataphysics” believe. that man’s traditional beliefs are an attempt to evade reality, and that. these beliefs are no longer useful.

The present system ‘consists of a completely open’ method of nomi- nation: -anyone -can nominate a girl for office;. once nominated, eyen if only by. one person, a girl may run for office. The theory be-[ hind the adoption of this particu- lar system of nominations was to allow for as broad a base for par- ticipation as possible, by both nominators and nominees. Although the general response to this pro- cedure has been good on the part of the nominators, the response on the part of the nominees has been very poor. (Only 15% of those nominated for Self-Gov President aceepted, only 18% of those nom- inated for Undergrad President accepted. In fact, the only percen- tage of acceptances over 50 was for First Sophomore to Self-Gov.) This_lack of interest on the part|€ of the potential candidates ‘could indicate-a variety. of things: it could indicate that- a eandidate wants. to have some idea of how ‘much support she has; it could in- dicate that the candidate feels ei- ther unqualified or unsure of her qualifications; it could indicate that’ she does not feel able to spare the time; or it could indicate that she does not consider running for .and/or winning an _ office a worthwhile enterprise. Whatever the reason, it is abit unsettling ‘to realize that 85% “of the: nominees for Self-Gov President declined (etc.). What is wrong, and can it be remedied ? Following the nomination proce- dure is'a long and complicated ser- Lies of primaries, dinners, final votes, and occasional re-votes. These machinations take almost. a month to resolve, and as time passes, participation in them de- ereases. sharply. As it is now, the schedule is overcrowded. It is a little unfair to ask students to vote intelligently in“ four or five elec- tions a day, yet on the other hand, it is inordinate to extend «the al- loted time to include more than % of the school year. How can the procedure be made any more lei- surely and thoughtful without its being elongated? What could be omitted ? Still another problem is one of mechanics. The committee in charge of elections ( a six mem- ber committee) has an almost} super-human task in contacting nominees, counting votes, announ- cing results, informing candidates. It is impossible for’ such a small group to achieve anywhere near a maximum of efficiency when its tasks are so varied and time-con- suming. How can the membership of the committee be. most efficient- ly changed? : Although there are many other facets to consider © concerning our election system, this should be enough to give an indication that it leaves plenty of room for im- provement.

Inadequacies Of College Election System _ To the Editor: Bewildered freshmen are plung- ed into a barrage of elections at the beginning of the semester, and throughout the year have an in- terminable number of meetings to elect temporary “reps” to various organizations. It’s bad enough electing the first round of tempor- ary reps, chairmen, and songmis- tresses, but by the time the second and third. rounds roll by, it’s small Fwonder that the attendance at — meetings has dwindled well below quorum. level. » Rationalizations I have been givén only three rationalizations for the infinite number of both meetings and tem- porary officers: 1) it gives us a chance to get. acquainted with each. other and achieve “class, unity”; 2) it gives more freshmen a chance to participate in Bryn Mawr organ- izations; 3) it gives members of the class better knowledge of the capabilities of the candidates run- ning for the permanent offices. In my opinion, freshmen meet each other in the halls, at. Lan- tern “Night rehearsals, and work: ~ ing—on- the. Freshman._Show.. At- tending tedious meetings, in ‘which the only unifying element is a uni- ‘versal béhd of boredom, is: not the most effective way of providing “class. unity.” Secondly, it doesn’t take a vote in a meeting to make anyone member of the class interested in the inner workings of Self-Gov., A. A., Undergrad, and so .on. Electing six members of the class to an organization during- a -year is not a” guarantee that any more than six people are going to be- come involved with that organiza- tion. Also, . the.. freshmen have shown a great deal of enthusiasm in becoming involved in campus activity without: the incentive of a majority vote—witness the per- centage of freshmen in the mem- bership of the S.P.U..— or. the freshman interest taken: in mate ters like the self-gov. exam. Lastly, electing several tem- porary chairmen and songmistres- sesso that class members may get an idea of the capabilities of can- didates is futile in that these tem- porary officers hold only one class meeting during their term—a meet- ing to elect their successor. One election meeting is_not_sufficient-to show the inherent qualities of leadership, etc. It also automatic- . ally implies that the’-permanent officers must be girls’ who’ were temporary” officers—not ‘necessarily ~ true or desirable. I would like to make the follow’ ingx suggestions for improvement. I certainly don’t claim that these, are the only -possible: basis for correction i.e, anything would be better than the way it’s being done now): A. Do away with the temporary chairmen and ‘songniistresses én- ‘| tirely. Have two big meetings’ (run by the junior class president) in which freshmen who had expressed an interest in running for office (perhaps by: signing -up in the halls) would speak briefly to the class, giving past- experience, and their reasons for running, Elec- tions could then be held for per- thereby saving: a lot of time, plus insuring that. the class knows the. “who and why” of the candidates. - B. Only four reps from the ¢lass should be elected to an organization during the year, two at, the egin-. ning, and sophomore reps in the spring. They should only “be elected ° to the ipso facto organizations, “Other- wise, freshmen should run as reps from; their halls stone: with the upperelag®men. “ Perhaps a totaley diftonentt solu- tion would be preferable—but I submit.a. plea for badly needed.

In this desire, however, cer- tain of these groups have’ been more successful than others. Through a critical evaluation of fudent established: ‘conclusions. Indeed, many students do agree with the SPU policies, however, members who might not concur are till faced with the responsibility’ of ‘sup- porting national SPU: policies through action and publicity. Why should students belong to an or- ganization obligating them to sup- port policies which they do not understand or platforms with which they disagree? A great many stu- dents join because they are vital- ly concerned with the issues in- volved, and, as on the Bryn Mawr campus, no other opportunity is offered for organized study of the problems of war_ and peace. and such movements ‘as. the Swarthmore Disarmament confer- ence, this article shall attempt to partially assess the development. of | m the student peace movement and to evaluate Bryn Mawr. participa- tion in it. on Student Poare . mae 5: nion Thus far, The Student — Union isthe only student organi- zation active on the Bryn Mawr campus which has devoted its pri- mary attention to a study of the} problems of war and peace. There are, however, a considerable num- ber of students on this campus who are vitally concerned with these problems, and yet ‘who do not belong to: SPU. In fact, of. the Bryn Mawr students who. partici- pated in the Washington Peace March of February 16 and 17, students obviously. and actively concerned with the issues of war and peace, more than % were not members of the Student ‘ Peace ~ Union. : As stated in its constitution, “The Student Peace Union is an organization of young people who}. believe that war can no longer be. successfully used to settle interna- ; tional disputes and. that neither human” freedom: nor. the human race itself can endure in a world committeed td militarism. Without committing any member to a pre- cise statement of policy, the SPU draws together young people for / a study of alternatives. to war and engages in education and action. to end the present arms race.” Theo- _retically,. then, the— individual stu- dent is- urged to weigh for him- self the issues involved, without being limited to a -fixed national SPU policy to which he ‘must ad- here. In reality, however, the Stu- dent Peaée: Union does take stands - on specific issues, and a fixed na- tional policy does evolve. It thus ' becomes, the* responsibility of the local__ chapters .. to . support’ this policy with appropriate “action. Too. often a local chapter merely. adopts the national policy without an adequate and critical study of the issues involved. Thus the SPU policies often become fixed and pre- ‘|primarily on east coast campuses, : Student SAN Ss Another student group which has been active in the peace move- ent is the student branch of the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Pol- icy, whose - basic aims~ are to achieve both cessation of testing and complete arms control, with each stage monitored and conclud- ed before the méxt begins. Active Student-Sane’s* major funetion~has been to publicize the problems of war and peace by letter-writing campaigns, lectures, and protest’ demonstrations. —This- group has~ been™ at lesat temporarily disbanded because of serious disagyeements with its par- ent group, the Adult Committee for- a Sane Nuclear Policy. These dis- agreements were caused by a lack of adequate representation in the local groups of the national policy, and an assertion of alleged “Com- munist infiltration” into, Student Sane. Here, as in SPU, the exist- ence of a national policy made it impossible for the group to con- duct-an open-minded study of the problems-of-war-and-peace. ‘Tocsin The -Tocsin. group. at: Harvard has. thus: far avoided some of the problems which have plagued both Sane and-SPU. A year and a half ‘ago; fifteen Harvard and Radcliffe students, dissatisfied with existing: peace organizations, joined toge- ther .for the purpose of studying the. problems of war and peace. For about one year, the group lim- ited itself strictly to study—invi- ted speakers, formed a library, con- ducted research projects, and_par- ticipated in discussion groups. Any results or temporary conclusions at which “they. had arrived were sub- sequently published. In the year and a half since it began, Tocsin has expanded. The members Have ‘divided: into seminar groups, each of which engaged in‘ the study. of the problems of war and peace in relation to a- particular; segment of society.

Washington . Peace March The Washington Peace March of February 16-17 was_ initiated by Toesin-and-represented a coali- tion of: Tocsin, Student Sane, the ~}Student--Peace--Union,-and.. other. Se | peace organizations throughout. the nation, into a united Turn Towards Peace. The platform on which the Peace March was based demonstra- ted the remarkable ability of these various groups to weld their diver- gent views into a compromise statement of policy. On Friday, February 16, a re- ported: 1400- students: appeared ‘in Washington, D. C. from points as far distant ‘as’ Seattle, Washing- ton. Friday's -activities:-consisted primarily of -interviews that had been prearranged wth individual Congressmen. Despite the comment of Rep» Chet Holafield’ that -the students were-“filled with baloney”, the interviews were conducted with enthusiastic competence if not re- sounding. success. The students, however, seemed disappointed in the Congressmen’s- general lack. of interest and familiarity with the basic problems of disarmament. Saturday morning marked a tre- mendous influx of enthusiastic stu- dent demonstrators, bringing the total number f participants up to a‘reported eight thousand students. The group staged a long and sym- bolically silent: march (in itself a feat in group..discipline) to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and culminated with an impressive ral- ly at’the foot. of the Washington Monument. © Official reaction to the weekend’s activities was respectful, if not sympathetic. President. Kennedy sent:a ‘pot of coffee out to the stu- dents picketing - in front of - the White House as,a symbol of his recognition of the Turn Toward Peace crusade. The New York Times editorial of Sunday, Febru- ary 18 was typical of the general press reaction. Although unable to advocate the specific student re- commendations condemning — both civil defense and the resumption of nuclear testing, it voiced its admiration«for the ardent concern, and orderliness of the demonstra- tors. Thdedashington Turn Towards | Peace_offers several important and relevant conclusions. Although un- successful in achieving active gov- ernment response. to its sugges- tions, the students demonstrated to the nation their profound and urgent concern with the problems of peace and disarmament. The Washington Peace March, more- Jover, exhibited. the -possibility of co-ordinating varied bases of stu-| dent support into a viable and or- derly demonstration’ of student in- awareness, responsibility, and even strength. . The Bryn Mawr campus“ pro- duéed a measure of enthusiasm for the~ project. Despite competi- tion from Freshman Show on this campus, about thirty Bryn Mawr \ wrens e j students appeared in Washington oe ne east mae ae AR at prmerenlcd eee SPO Rt ERE / disarmament needs oy +t ake part in “the ioe nk ac- iit Due to an unfortunate schedulin slip-up, the Swarthmore Conference on Disarmament was planned for the same weekend. However, the students who as- sembled at Swarthmore felt strong- ly that the Disarmament Confer- énée and the Peace March were not rival. movements, but rather were complementary and mutually sym- pathetic statements of a vital and growing student concern with the crucial issues of peace and disarm- ament. FICDAC collegiate Conference on-Disarma- ment.and Arms Control (FICDAC) attracted approximately 350 stu- dents from 150° colleges to~ the Swarthmore College campus. Also assembled to give lectures and lead seminars were 25 experts in the “field” of The ‘Problems of War and Peace. The purpose of FICDAC was neither to convert those present toa particular view, nor to supply them ‘with @ grab-| bag of shallow’ ‘analyses designed to solve the intricate problems in- volved; but rather to increase stu- dent interest and awareness of some of the military, economic, legal, historic, and® psychological considerations which the problem of disarmament presents. No stu- dent went to the conference expect- ing to discover the panacea of the disarmament problem; instead they’ went hoping to gain both breadth and depth in their conceptualiza- tion of ‘tthe problem. Since it would be ‘both ridiculous and impossible to try to cover. the whole conference in a single ar- ticle of this length, it would seem rmore sensible to mention just a’ few of the major themes that re- curred throughout the conference, themes important for any. poten- tial student of the problem to bear in mind, One point that seems to have been. lost in the excitement of the| recent crises is that disarmament is.not an end in itself. Oftentimes sincere agitators for peace base their conduct and demands on the premise that once we disarm (ei- ther unilaterally or bilaterally), every problem will. have been solved.. Disarmament is. not, nor should it ever be, an end. It is a means. to-the end of international peace. If one overemphasizes the importance of disarmament, one is, ‘quite likely. to finish by devoting all time and effort to perfecting the mechanics of disarmament. But 3 more. than. mechanical perfection, it needs a solid basis so that itcah act asa valid means for keeping the peace. What is that solid basis? The general consensus at the confer- ence .was that the mechanics of disarmament cetld never be viable until the nineteenth century con- cept of national sovereignty had vanished. Earlier in history~ the nation was able to serve as, the. largest possible unit of collective protection. _Now, however, with the} advent ‘of modern transportation, communication, and technology, in general, it is no longer. realistic to see the nation as the largest’ viable community,.. ie fact, the nation in itself has} nig, impotent in its most vital, ay. “that of” self- protection. yo that a nation can- not single-handedly protect its people, now that a nation cannot! ~Phe- -weekend-bong” -First~-Inter=| ovements _ a, Sean remain aloat -_ dated ian A stop pretending that the nation is the ultimate community.

There is also a thread of nostalgia for the “old Village” | « running through the book. Articles about the Village in the 20’s and 30’s,-are among the most fascinat- ing. More important, though, than the individual articles is ‘the image of “{the’ Village in the last -few years that emerges.

There is the sub-culture of the jazz world, and in. one -of the most thoughtful articles in the book Sey- mour Krim debates the white man’s fight to appropriate something that, like jazz, belongs basically to the Negro. Several provocative articles deal with the homosexual sub-cul- ture, and with the sad and sordid society “of the drug addict. There are also the -Pacifists, who seem to be constantly getting arrested for their failure to comply with’ the Civil Defense drills in New York, and, of course, the serious writers, artists, and= musicians, ~ without~ whom the Village, for all its color, would be little more than ‘an :East-coast Dis- neyland..

After all, what’s rational about nu- clear~war, anyway.? Who says it requires a completely “rational” solution? And I haven’t noticed any: great answers to. the Cold War problems coming out of Gene- va, recently.

Berle,.professor of cor- poration law at Columbia University and one of the initiators of the Alli- ance for Progress, opened. the con- ference with a‘ discussion of Latin America. in the’ Cold War. * Mr. Berle urged that the coming years will prove crucial in determining the economic and ‘political status of the Latin American nations. He stress- ed. the United States’ responsibility to aid them in programs of sanita- ion, education, in particular the need to make more books expressing the western point of view available to the public, Mr. Berle explained that”book stores in Latin~America/sell Soviet-printed books almost exclusively, -because American books are expensive and difficult to obtain in translation. On a more general level, Mr: Berle urged that the United States must articulate its position with regard to Latin-America’in terms of its own political values. He asked that the country. take an ideological stand and make it clear to its neighbors it will defend this stand against all threats. Robert F.-Wooddward, former Un- der-Secretary of State for Latin American Affairs, gave ‘remarks: of a general and informational ndture on the economic needs of Latin Amer- ica and the current development in its “revolution.” He also ‘stressed the need for close economic coopera- tion between the United States. and its neighbors. sight into the mind of an author creating a book. Mr. Golding’s lec- ture, under the auspices of the Eng- lish Department’s Ann Elizabeth Sheble Memorial Fund, was entitled ‘Fable and Prospect.” The most interesting part of the evening was when Mr. Golding described the de- ‘|velopment in his own mind of the ideas for: his best known-work, Lord of the Flies. Mr. Golding began with a purpose. He had been an idealist between the World Wars but after World War II he felt that this idealism’ was_ in- commensurable with the human con-. dition and believed that the lessons of Nazism ought to be put into a book. The result was. Lord of the Flies. Mr. Golding also thrilled his audi- ence by discussing and reading «the first few pages of the book he is, now writing. .

A freely fluctuating rate would be a realistic method of resolving this ait: ficulty. Numerous other proposals such as the abolition of the Interstate Com- merce Commission-.and the Federal Communications Commission and the adoption of proportional income tax were discussed.
