For several years The News statf has found that by the end of March the paper is seriously in debt. ‘As-a- result of this lack of funds, News staffs have had to cutout some issues:and to limit the number of pictures in the ‘paper. :- _.At present we find our- selves unable to print a last issue the week before exams. The News depends entirely ‘on its advertising and sub- scriptions for funds. As printing costs have risen, while sub- subseription- rates remain= static, The News will certainly incur an even heavier debt next year if some SORNES does not take place. Cynthia Brown and J udy Zinsser, business managers for the past year, have done an impressive job of improving our advertising, working personally with the National Advertis- ing Service. They have also arranged our China Exhibition, -—-which will be held in the Common Koom Wednesday, May 16 from 11:00 to 4:00. (Please come for ten minutes and. help us out.) The effects of their efforts will certainly help. to alleviate the situation for next year. Subscription manager Alice Longobardi has also helped The News tremendously with her excellent work in increasing our off-campus circula- tion. We are also looking for someone to follow Alice as subscription: manager. This is a very rewarding job which takes’ one major etfort early in September and then a little work each week. If interested, please see her in Rhoads. Despite these advances, our problem cannot be completely ‘solved without the support of the campus. It has been suggested that we automatically include the cost of The News in.the dues which every undergraduate - pays, charging about $3.00 per student. Newspapers: at.a majority.ot, colleges are compulsory, or, as their staffs like to put it, “free.” Students at Swarthmore, Penn, Douglas, Mount Holyoke, and Columbia all pay for their newspapers _-when-they pay.student.dues.:.The Alumni: Coancil.supports Yhe Haverford News. At Sarah Lawrence undergraduates ‘pay $6.00 4 year for a four-page paper- which appears: every two weeks.. one We would rather not “make. a subseription to_The News ‘automatic, however, as we believe each student should have the right to decide if she wants it and the right to withdraw her subscription if she wishes to protest the paper’s policies. Instead we are sending out an 8.0.8. for more subscrip- tions. Many people on campus read The News regularly. “Most read it often enough not to want it abolished. If 500 undergraduates buy e News for next year, we can take the paper off the critital list, emit a collective sigh of relief and put aside our account books in favor of textbooks on journalism and concentrate on more photographs and car- toons. |. We believe this vote of confidence is not an unreason- -able’think to ask. We hope you’ll think of it that way when our new subscription drive starts next September and at our China Exhibit‘on the 16th. The'College News needs you. Exam Changes The plan for allowing individual scheduling of exams “which will-be-in effect on a trial basis at Haverford this spring is a constructive solution to a long-standing problem. This plan, which. will eliminate the dilemma of poor schedul- ing, was propesed by Haverford’s Student Council. Students recently submitted to the Registrar’s office the dates on which they wish to take each of theif exams. There will be exam hours each day of exam week but the ‘student must - follow the schedule which he has planned for himself: At the end of every semester there are those who find that they have three-finals on the first two or three days of exam week and one on the last.day. The mental pressure on students is great enough without the physical. strain of an inconvenient schedule, and having voluntary schedules will » make exam week a more relaxed time for everyone. Students will be able to allot the amount. of time they need for each exam, but since they will have to submit their schedules in “advance, the impetus for studying which many of us ‘need will still be present. Besides benefiting students, the new--plan will- spread out the work of grading exams instead of subjecting the professors to a sudden deluge of tests to grade. The Haver- ford scheme has anticipated the difficulty which this might present in large-classes by requiring that exams for all class- es of over twenty people be taken before the middle of the exam week. There are, of course, loopholes. ‘There-will be a great temptation to tell .a friend what was on an exam or ,what - study when you have taken it before him, but-what g an honor system if it doesn’t prevent this kind of de oe: Some teachers may object to having their exams trickle in, _. although they could certainly wait until.all the exams were in to. begin grading. In.spite ‘of its drawbacks, Haverford’s voluntary scheduling plan may be an answer to the_contor- tions which so many of us experience when finals come.

The. objection is that they have not provided “in- formation” nor. furnished “the answers proposed by various schools of thought” to “the speci- fic questions involved in the topic.” This view mistakes the purpose of the panels. It expresses, more- over, an attitude that in a ‘matter of such gravity is distressing, if not positively dangerous, and ‘that may be ‘all too typical of opinion on campus and in the country at large, The editorialists seem unaware that with great issues of. public policy ithe job of defining these is- sues, and distinguishing the .sig- nificant questions from those that are misdirected or trividl, is never finished. They seem not to under- stand that in the very nature of this unprecedented era of nuclear ‘diplomacy and nuclear technology the basic_issues-— at—best-clouded in . uncertainties, and. systematic- ally” misrepresented by a great number of committed ‘persons on all sides, including officers of gov- ernment — are changing almost month by month and need constant- ly to be re-examined and redefined. Their assurance “that the general problems-have-already—been-suffi- ciently discussed and that specula- tion’ and“‘debate on broad principles are not needed at present; is an as- surance peculiar to the College} News.’ No other journal in the-world shares it, we think, except possibly the Taipei Herald. We grant that in the nuclear and missile age, and under - further .|stress of the so-called “cold war,’ this craving for. “the facts,” this demand. - solely -for—“specifie—an- swers” to “specific questions,” is natural... So is. the fear of uncer- tainty it results from — the fear of having to think without guar- anteéd. data, the fear of making a wrong choice or inadequate res- ponse. But if such “facts” and “specific answers” did actually exist. and could be verified, there would be no problem to decide; and no néed for discussion. . The trouble is that they don’t exist. The President doesn’t have them, Dr. Teller doesn’t have them, Ber- trand_ Russell doesn’t have them, SANE doesn’t have’ them; the F.B.I. doesn’t have them, nobody has them. Lacking ‘them, we are required to think. We must find out what it is possible to know; that. goes without saying. But we cannot de- termine what knowledge it is that we are in search of if we donot constantly -raise first questions; if we are not willing to plunge -with always - insufficient assurances into g | and reasoned hypothesis; if we cannot learn to be at once imag- inative and critical even - where there is no proof.

Proof of. the elusiveness of this eSsence is that by the time that.

In “A Sentimental | Tribute,” Elizabeth Bowen, former Lucy Martin Donnelly Fellow at Bryn Mawr and author-of The Death of the Heart, reviews the new Viking Portable Marianne Moore Reader, and gives her approach to reading the book. In a rather discursive discussion, Miss Bishop suggests that the foreword should be. read first, then the interview with the Paris Re- view (at the, end. of, the Reader)+ the earlier poems, the prose pieces (chronologically), and by. then one} should be advanced enough to study the La Fontaine translations, or to take a holiday with the Carnegie Hall and Yul Brynner poems.” Richmond Lattimore’s Paul Sho- rey Professor ‘of Greek “Letter from Athens,” gives the reader a taste of spring fever which, for those of us plunged into semester papers, can only be alleviated by a whiff of the cherry blossoms from the Deanery—unfortunately not by an immediate trip to Athens. Dr. Lattimore finds ’Greece a country. which: ‘is changing © rapid+ ly, but is “finding its: own Greek way in life and art which ig con- stantly overgrown but never ‘over- whelmed ‘in. the lendings from other %ivilizations.” Also in the spring. issue is an article-on the plans for the. first |six week summer program of in- tensive work in French culture, the.

Tower (R-Tex.) in a speech given last Thursday defined a conservative as one who welcomes change and, seeks pro-| gress through existing institutions and who desires that such progress be made in a climate of maximum individual liberty and free thought. The conservative believes further- more, that preservation of exist- ing political and economic institu- _tions— i.e. the. capitalist system— is vital to preserving America’s strong moral: fiber and superior productivity. On more specific is- sues, Sen. Towers favors relatively low -but progressive taxation, low government spending (because’ de- pendance upon the government breeds weakness in the individual), - equality before the law. and of the ballot box. All these views are con- ’ junctive with Sen. Tower’s belief that, “The function of the govern- -ment is to: preserve erder in so- ciety, ‘but not to order society.” Henkin Analyzes - Logic In Numbers Jennifer Ashworth, -Graduate Student : Otuaaor Leon ‘A. Henkin began ‘his lecture on “Mathematical Log- ic: a Survey,” by sketching the his- tory of mathematical logie;-which has only developed —as—a specifies, discipline within the last hundred years. He said that .although*® ma- - thematicians’ had always uncon- sciously uséd logical rules of in- ference in. their theorems, they did not explicitly examine these rules until the latter half of the nine- teenth century, when an English- ~“man, Boole; noticed that rules of logic could be expressed by alge- braic symbols. A’ real investiga- tion. of. what we. mean.by..a valid proof was inspired by the paradox arising from ‘C€antor’s seemingly ‘watertight proof that.there is a largest infinite number, and Burali- Forti’s~ equally —convincing ~ proof that there is no largest infinite number. Boolian symbolization proved to be a useful tool. in | this examination. By the end of the nineteenth century. there were two possible lines of development for mathema- tical logic, in Zermelo’s attempt to provide an axiomatic basis for Cantor’s theory of sets, and in Frege’s system of formal deduc- tive logic. The letter proved to be the most sicKanetul, for it. was taken .up by Russell and White- head, and popularized in their Principia Mathematica. After giving a description of the nature of-formal logic, which draws up idealized models of language, consisting of a list of symbols, for- mation rules, a list of. axioms, ‘and formal rules of inference by which theorems can be derived from the axioms, Professor Henkin went’on to discuss two of the questions which have bothered logicians in the last forty years, The first problem he examined a given system includes every true “-gentence as a formal: theorem or not. He referred especially to the work of Gédel who, in 1931, shat- tered the illusions of those who had hoped to show every deductive system to be complete, by proving that there was a sentence true of all integers which -could not be proved by the Russell and White- head axioms. Moreover, even if one added this. sentence as an extra “axiom, theré Would be a second un- provable true-sentence, and soon ad infinitum. Godel also proved that if a system is really consist- ent, one cannot hope to prove that fact. Mr. Henkin ths. viveae to the decision probleni—whether ‘we can find.an automatic method to _ tell whether a sentence is a or ‘ital. As an example of this he asserted that anti-trust laws should extend to all segments of society, not onfy industrial entities —* with specific reference to the recent steel situ- ation. In response to oitinnss inquiries, ‘Sen. Tower expressed the follow- ing views: skh “1. The U.N.. is ineffective “and “exercises a double standard of morality” meeting only rightist | threats. As a collapse is not far off, the UN should be replaced by an alliance of free nations. 2. Mr. Welsh of the John Birch Society is an unwise man of poor judgement who has mislead many well-meaning patriots. The Birch- ers, said Sen. Tower,“ subscribe’ to his own ideology but differ”: in “em- phasis. 3. U.S. actions in Cuba and Viet Nam are defensivé, In the Hungarian crisis, the U.S. did. as much_as.it.could with. the..resour- ces at hand. 4. Free trade is desirable. “Wwil- ly-nilly” “tariff < reduction “would destroy some. industries or even worse, make them dependent on government subsidies. 4.5. Foreign aid should be ac-} companied by political guidance, Under-developed countries: must develop - proper. political climates for the investment of private he a 6. The ultimate U.S. cold war aim is to reduce the Soviet Union ito a state of impotence. America must maintain strategic superior- ity to prevent the possibility of be- ing attacked. 7. Literacy tests are of value except when_used._fordiscrimina- tory purposes. ‘8. Passivist groups have little influence on “the group of evil men, who plot- -our destruction.” The Peace Corps is innocuous but the money could be better spent in sending abroad trained technicians. 9. Regarding President Ken-. nedy, there is a public tendency to confuse personal popularity with political conviction... The President has a majority in the House and in the Seyate, yet only’ a small proportion of his measures get through. —_- 10.

Tower’s address gave the student. body an excellent opportunity to hear the Conserva- tive viewpoint explained and justi- fied. The content of his.speech, however, raised several questions on the merits of that viewpoint. Senator Tower began by stating that he believes that “a climate of maximum individual liberty: and free choice will aid progress.” He [failed to say, however, what kind of. individual liberty he had in mind. If he is concerned with’ pro- tectimg the rights of free thought arid speech, he cannot object to the advocating~ of --political- systems which differ from the one he pro- pounds. Yet his proposals for the opposition of ‘‘leftist” groups within the United, States and for the attachment of political} . “strings” to foreign aid would suggest that he does not believe in. “individual . freedom of choice” in that sense. It is chiefly economic freedom which the Con- servatives_support — the freedom of private enterprise from. govern- ment restriction. To. promote this freedom, Sen- ator Tower advocates: the devolu- by Connie Rosenblum ’65 “Good morning.

If e former *society seems unrealizable, the latter sim- ply seems selfish. The Senator’s discussion of ‘the consistencies. He began by saying Boorman Sees Red China Change; ¢ Foreign Policy Shifts Cites Pek Communist China has ‘entered a new phase .in foreign relations—in her position in .regard to the Sov- iet Union, in her relations with the Middle East, Africa; and Latin America. This was. the thesis. of' Mr.. Howard Boorman from Colum- bia University who spoke on. “Pe- king’s New Profile in. World: Poli- tics,” oii Monday evening, -under the auspices of the Bryn’ Mawr-Hav-| erford-Swarthmore Special sieges on Asian Studies. Experts disagree on the import- ance of the | Sino-Soviet conflict, but Mr. Boorman feels that the conflict is largely concerned with the different ways in which the two countries try. to- influence’ emerg- ing nations. China, although still primitive technologically, and sci- entifically’ in. relation to Russia, ‘vievertheless; ~ finds ~~political--power in--this -very.fact of her primitive economy, The Chinese claim that their. rise from an underdeveloped state has a “unique relevance” to the now emerging new nations in Africa and Asia.

Another source is the ideological differen- Continued on i= 4, Col. ‘orthodox theory of revolution in ees between Mao Tse Tung et ee eee z- Khrushchev. -Mao believes in the the-tradition of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin. Finally, there is the. inevi-|; table struggle between the two countries for the supremacy of the whole Communist movement. All these situations -have become..in- tensified in the last few years. Peking is- @lso involved elsewhere in foreign relations.. There has been ‘a . “drastic emergence” “of Chinese influence in the new na- tions. In the Middle East, China has emphasized the existence of 10,000 Moslems, within her bor- ders. She has recognized all .the new Muslim nations and has es- tablished diplomatic relations with the FLN revolutionary government in Algeria since 1958. ° on Latin—America,...Ching... has, found- peasant- societies,.—in- many ways similar to her own. In 1960, China gave diplomatic recognition to Cuba. The expansion of Chinese Com- munist influence ‘is now apparent, Mr. Boorman feels. The question is now to what extenit-and how far she will decide to ‘expend, her that although the UN has proven ineffective as an instrument for the preservation of world peace, he admitted the need for an or- ganization in which we can argue our differences. Later, when asked what he would substitute for the UN, the Senator suggested “an alliance of free nations to prose- cute the cold war.” This would hardly be a substitute for the UN, which was founded to maintain world peace, not to prevent it. A world organization must involve nations of ‘all political persuasions if it is to earn its title and do the work of settling disputes. He then declared that “the ‘Soviet’ Union ‘and not the United States is the aggressor.” Evidently the Senator was not satisfied with the peace- ful role he aseribed to the United States, for the “alliance of free nations” he had just suggested seemed designed to make the free nations into aggressors. The Senator’s final comment on the-UN was: “Without the Sov- iet Union we could havea success-| ful UN:” Without the Soviet Union, however, we would hardly need a UN. The -opposition between the communist and the western. blocs is what makes. a world organiza- tion necessary in the first place. . One of Senator .-Tower’s last ptatements — to the effect that we “cannot have peace when... a jerrent. arganization.of..evil men is. contemplating: our. destruction” provided his. hearers with ‘the op- portunity. of feeling like’ ‘students at a football rally, where they are told that the “other team” is a.per- petrator of ‘injustice — an expon- really pé8sible that a man’s goodness or-évil may be letermined | according strength. on Rasterntil relations. a ae —n wee a > — Oe Deo to where he seca to. bé born?
