XLII, NO. 2 ARDMORE AND BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1957 © Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1957 PRICE 20 CENTS Rhys Carpenter Will Speak On Ancient Greeks Dr. Rhys Carpenter, Professor Emeritus of Classical Archaeology, will give the Horace White Memor- ial Lectures for 1957-1958 on “My- cenaean Greek: A New Glimpse into the Past.” The first of three lectures is to be presented on Monday, October 21 at 8:30 p.m. and will be on “Decip- herment.” The second will cover “Content” and the last “Signifi- cance.” Dr. Carpenter joined the Bryn Mawr faculty in 1918, after he had been called to the College by Miss Thomas to lay the foundations of a department which has become the stronghold of Classical Arch- aeology in this country. A Rhodes Scholar, Dr. Carpenter obtained his B.A.-from. Balliol College in 1911, and returned to the U. S. to take his Ph. D. at Columbia in 1916. He served as Director of the| Amerisan School of Classical Stud- ies jn Athens from 1927-1932—an assignment which jhe resumed in 1946, : An eminent and well-known arch- aeologist in the U, S,, Dr. Car- penter has brought great distinc- tion to the College through his many books and lectureg given at universities and institutes through- out the ¢ountry. In 1954, after serving-Bryn Mawr for forty-two years, Dr. Carpenter retired from the faculty. He has joined the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, always as Professor Carpenter himself says, “quite a Bryn Mawr outpost.” 2 Alumnae Serve As New Wardens by Miriam Beames Among the hordes of people swelling Bryn Mawr’s enrollment are five new wardens, two of whom graduated from this college, Miss Patricia Onderdonk, in Den- bigh, graduated from Bryn Mawr in 1962. Although she majored in French, her main interest was the theatre—she directed her class’ freshman and junior shows, and was president of College Theatre. Since graduation, she has held var- ious jobs in New York, among them one with the Institute of International Education, where she helped with the preliminary screen- ing for Fulbright scholarships. Mrs. Margaret Smith, taking over for Miss Nancy Tatum in Rhoads, has made a double addition to the hall: with her is Miss Marcia Smith, aged eight. After gradu- ating from Barnard, where she ma- jored in (Political Science, Mrs. Smith received a degree in social work from Bryn Mawr, and is a professional social worker. At present she is taking courses in education and is interested in guidance, counseling, and adminis- college level. Marcia (who seems to have formed a strong friendship with the hall) and her duties as a warden keep Mrs. Smith busy; she reports an interest in’ music, but no time for any hobbies. oo Miss Naney Blackwood, Bryn Mawr ’51, is Pembroke East’s new warden, succeeding Miss Pilar Gon- zalez.

The Juniors have chosen to take advantage of female curiosity by refusing to divulge anything but a few cold facts about their forth- coming production, “Speak Easily,” on October 18 and 19, in the hpoes that they wil attract ticket-buyers more numerous and inquisitive than ever before, Or, is their lack of verbosity merely an adamant asser- tion on their part that they cannot be made to “speak easily” about matters confidential ? In order to get their audience in the proper temperament for the show, i.e, not highly temperate, the Juniors have publicized the fact that the action takes place during prohibition in the 1920's on board a British ocean liner, on route to the United States. Fur- thermore, to conserve-our deductive and imaginary powers, they “were kind enough to add that the cast includes Russian aristocrats, American society couple, bootleg- gers and just “plain br ical Cast BRE: ssstdigvesnveadsivenssi Blair Dissette BS i srscsescscastssn tne sss0saea Susan Gold ‘Tony Fitzgerald ..........

Bess in--disguise sails after her , lover to Morocco Wwhere,.. after ke~- ~ lis thought dead, they are happily reunited and thus constancy is re- warded, The’ play’s’ moral Sentiment is of the conventional kind.” It, is “broadly humorous and contains simple, homely path- os.” Usually such a play is pop- ° ular in any age, but seldom out- lives the age.” Comedy and Customs Ben Jonson followed Sidney’s dictum for comedy as a “moral agent for the correction of man- ners (in which) pleasure is mixed with instruction,” Unlike Heywood, Jonson’s sets are strictly in Eng- land, usually London, and the char- acters are always of the middle class contemporary England. “To insist that comedy must always imitate the customs and character of contemporary Society is to con- fuse realism with reality,” Mr, Wil- son said. Jonson generally adhered to the ancient rules of unity in time and place. In the Alchemist these ex- ternally imposed unities work to- gether easily. Mr. Wilson pointed out that Jonson followed rules only “if they agreed with him,” Unity of Winter’s Tale “Shakespeare never aimed at a pre-conceived idea of structure. He knew comedy and broke every rule known to Renaissance theatre. In Winter's Tale he broke both the unities of time and Place, “Order” in Shakespearean comedy is self- imposed. The unity of The Winter’s * Tale is “more sensitive and compli- cated” than any external restric- tion could make it.

Entered as second class matter at the Ardmore, Pa., Post Office, under the Act of March 3, 1879: if Finally Defined Last Thirsday Undergrad Council defined its position viz. attendance of Lantern Night rehearsals and -meetings. Ais now. established, these meetings are to be required and fined... One-free eut-will be allowed during’ the first week, but” none during the second week of rehearsals. However, a stu- dent not planning to participate in the tradition may be ex- empt from all preparatory sessions as long as she informs her class president, songmistress or hall rep. We applaud ~~ this articulation of policy on a matter heretofore vague and \misunderstood. ee In an editorial.last May we asked for “clarification of the system of ‘required and fined’ song meetings.” We not- ed that the policy now formally esablished was temporally tried last year. Namely, it involves excusing those definitely against participation, while maintaining a strict fines system We also noted that this instituced the paradox of fining those whose spirit may flag once or twice, while leaving those completely indifferent students alone. Po Now, as before, we believe that no student is required to take part in a tradition if she has no desire todo so. We’ are pleased that the Undergraduate Council has now come out with a clear statement of the student’s obligaiton towards college traditions. As we see it, the Council’s statement permits those who sincerely and actively oppose the idea of all-college tra- ditions to be excused. It means that students who might be working toward their college support need not be burdened- with fines because working hours conflict or because they connot fit rehearsing time into their full-time schedules. But this statement is not a go-ahead for mass abstention. In-it the Council has defined its general policy regarding tradi- tions, as well as given the particulars on Lantern Night. In the future the underlying principle will remain the same, but as each tradition date draws near specifics will be announced. . Again, it does not legalize absences due to lethargy and in- eytia. Unquesionably, it is easier to remain behind while the others tramp out to song meetings during those lazy hours after lunch and before dinner. Much energy and both- er can be conserved by simply not participating. We hope, ‘of course, that the true intent of the decision will not be ignored by using it to excuse personal laziness. or.conformity to laziness. ~ Unfortunately, a fines system is necessary. Without this measure of “persuasion” sufficient numbers of those not | seeongly- opposed to. traditions would net-turn ont; , more effective functioning of meetings and rf ~ "hm What Am by Debby Ham ‘Education is dear, alas. Next time you trot across campus to Taylor, Park or Dalton, you might figure out just how precious the next 60 minutes were going to be, and if your computations were.ac- curate enough, you might break into a gallop so as not to miss one of them, Roughly speaking there are 380 active weeks of college. That means each week’s instruction is about $28 per capita ($850 divid- ed by 30); Supposing you have 12 hours of classes; each hour is worth $2.50 (four times as much as two hours of movies). Of course the more hours of classes you have the cheaper each hour is. Considering this factor think of the bargain rates you get for en- rolling in History of Art 101 or Geology, both of which offer six full hours. a. week instead of the usual three. And by the same token consider the extraordinary value of a lecture that comes but once a week, If you should be late to class or worse still if your professor should be late, you lose a nickel a minute. As for a free cut—well just think what an unrefundable expense that is! Thus the ‘professorial word is the most valuable asset to campus, But wait till next year. It will be worth its—ah—weight in gold. The classes of.’58 and ’59 will remember the centennial confer- ence on Woodrow Wilson, held at the college on January 5 and 6, 1956, at which Arthur S. Link, William L, Langer and Eric F. Goldman delivered a series of lec- tures entitled “Freedom for Man— A World Safe for. Mankind.”..Now. these four lectures are available in book form, edited and with a fore- ward by Arthur P. Dudden, Asso- ciate Professor of History, and entitled Woodrow Wilson and The World of Today. Viewpoint on Wilson Each essay deals with different aspects of Wilson’s personality in relation to events—his philosophy of leadership and its impact, his ideals and beliefs undergoing the test of war, his shift from a policy of isolation to one of meditation,| and his hopes and plans for peace and a new world order, Although each essay is valuable and complete in itgelf, the collection forms a uni- fied whole which provides excellent Wilsonian material for the histor- ian. An informal and extremely readable style characterizes all the essays, resulting in a volume which should be of interest to all. Wilson and Presidency Arthur §S. Link in his essay on “Woodrow Wilson: The Philosophy, Methods and Impact of Leadership” claims that Wilson’s expansion and perfection of the powers of the presidency was one of his most lasting contributions. He felt that the ideal leader was a man of strong moral character, decisive and able to lead people, and that the president must be the spokes- man of the nation in every way. Through the virtuosity of his ora- the people and made public opin- ion a spur to Congress. By taking la strong lead and accomplishing many domestic reforms under the slogan of the New Freedom, he was able to answer the question of how to bring a growing economy under effective social control. In his first essay gn Wilson and foreign policy, entitled “From Iso- lation to Mediation,” William L. Langer stresses Wilson’s abhor- neutrality. He felt that the United States was the ideal mediator, that this country should arrange a just pean powers and form an organ- ization to prevent war in the future, These aims were not wel- ELECTIONS Wyndham: } Hall President: - , » - Mary Louise Cohen ’59 tory he appealed to the ideals of}: |rence of war and_his_efforts_to} maintain a strict and impartial peace between the warring.

F..Goldman.presents: the problems faced by Wilson in organizing public opinion to sup- port the war. effort. After rousing opinion against German militarism and in support of the Allied cause “to make the world safe for democ- racy“ Wilson was unable to realize his most cherished ideas of a “Peace without victory” and the League of Nations. His faith that the common man would make the right decision was betrayed and the American democracy had seemingly won the war but lost its soul. - Wilson As Peace Leader Langer’s second essay on “Peace and the New World Order” deals with the conflict between Allied and U. S. war aims as formulated by Wilsow in his 14 Points. In going to the peace conference Wilson felt that he represented the will of the American people in spite of the fact that his plea for a Demo- cratic Congress had returned a | Republican majority. In Europe he was hailed by the people as the man who had brought about victory and at the conference he was un- able to prevent a dictated peace, much to his dismay. The acceptance of the League by the European countries was the only ray of hope, but it failed to pass Congress and he was left a broken man. Wilson set his sights too high and his convictions and faith blinded him to the meanness of people and reality. Arthur P. Dudden’s foreward serves as a general background and introduction to the essays. Puzzled Who It Is Who Asks Those Intellectual Questions in Class? : Pa Can’t connect the name with the Face?

Coane {Elucidates Policy on Tradition The Undergrad Council has es- tablished the following policy in reference to Lantern Night Re- hearsals and meetings. 1. The meetings are to be re- quired and fined. A fine of fifty cents will be charged foreach un- excused absence: If, however, a student is not planning to partici- pate in the Lantern Night rites, she will be exempted froni the song meetings and practices after tell- ing her class president, song mis- tress, or class hall rep. 2. There will be one free cut dur- ing the first week of rehearsals. Because of the nature of the re- hearsals during the second week, however, no free cuts can be given. then. : NOTE: The Council made this decision last Thursday.

Wednesday, October 16, 1957 THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Three -Pem West Places First In Drama Competition; With “Odyssey Of Runyon Jones” Second Place Goes To Pem East Denbigh’s Satire On Russia Stars: Parry and Baker \ by Anna Kisselgoff Denbigh’s play, Free Speech, pre- sented its actresses with the difficult task of sustaining interest in a performance with much talk, little action, A satire on Soviet Russia’s use of free speech or lack thereof, the play concerned itself with the deli- berations of seven Russian guards as to the fate of their prisoner. Jane Parry was very effective as the commanding corporal, not strong enough to resist the compli- cations produced by free speech but sensible enough to save his. skin when the tide turns against him. -B. J. Baker was dexterous in her ‘ougue-twisting speeches as_ the parlimentarian ‘presiding over the voting by all concerned, and Sue Goldsmith was light hearted enough as the happy bomb-setting prisoner. Well-Dreseed Comrades The costumes of the guards were extremely simple but eye-catching precisely because ‘of the jngenuity used in the color combinations of the outfits. One problem the players were faced with was the necessity of imitating a Russian accent. Al- though it is true some of the in- tonations ranged from near-Mus- covite- to accents more Germanic than Slavic, Ann Hoffman, Gail Lasdon, Isabella Sommerhoff, Cary Webb Hank, and Lois Fleischer as the other guards and those pre- viously mentioned did a creditable job, Again, the play’s lack of action prevented it from moving quickly but Denbigh did the best that could be done with a piece of passive writing. Rhoads’ Production Is Brisk, Amusing by Sue Schapiro For their hall play, the freshmen of Rhoads chose The Rehearsal. As its name suggests, the theme is a rehearsal, specifically of Shakes- peare’s Macbeth by the Globe Thea- tre Company. The play was directed by Susan Kenny. Sarah Bosworth was stage manager, and Lucy Wales served as upper-class advisor. In the cast were Anita Dopico as the producer, Meredith Presbrey as the stage manager, Alice Brown as author Shakespeare, Diana Burgess as a doctor, and en players of the role-with-in-a-rote,.of Globe Thea- tre Company me rs appearing in Macbeth: Arleen Beberman (whose cackled comments won her more than one laugh from the audi- enge), Hannah Woods, and Linda Wheat as the three witches;-Poly Merrill as Banquo, Adrian Shore as Macbeth, Gretchen Mack as Mac- beth, and Becky Bromley as Mac- Duff. Excellent costuming made The Rehearsal colorful to watch. The actors had their parts well in hand, especially with respect to lines, and the presentation was on the whole ‘smooth and the pace brisk and confident, despite the consider- able size of the cast. The play it- self offers a clever idea and num- erous amusing lines as it spoofs artistic temperament and contrasts meek, docile, retiring, black-suited Mr. Shakespeare with the pompous, self-centered and self-satisfied play- ers who introduced his now immort- al lines. However, a better-than- nodding acquaintance with Macbeth is necessary for a real appreciation of the humor of the twisted lines, transposed speeches, and inappro- priate gestures. “Thirteen Clocks” In Pantomime Wins Honors For Pembroke East by Debby Ham Pembroke East’s adaptation of James Thurber’s The Thirteen Clocks, directed by Jan Douglass, was well deserving of the honor- able mention it received in the hall competition. In total effect the play was . delightful; the action was swift, the character delinea- tions clears Perhaps, however, a play in pan- tomime with a narrator could often take second place, but never first as it generally demands less of the actors, ‘None the less, from audience viewpoint, the play was ' a complete success. The Thirteen Clocks is a fantasy about a duke, “even colder than he thought he-was,” who tries to de- molish all the princess’ suitors so. he can marry her himself. when she becomes of age. The duke, Natalia Gortchacow, looked, appropriately evil, not to say lecherous, and even though on stage almost. the whole time, his gestures and limp never ceased to fascinate. The princess Saralinda, played by Charlotte Pretty, was Ipvely in more than the conventsénal way. With sparkling toreador pants, a cigarette holder, a rose between -the teeth, and a very persuasive walk, her charms were enough to attract any suitor. Prince Zorn, -Alice Powley, the most determined of suitors (indi- cated by Haverford beanie?) strut- ted about in disguise with a guitar. If Prince Zorn was not a true-to- form melancholy minstrel, he was a ‘wonderful ‘burlesque of same. And here credit should also go to the innovator who managed the El- vis Presley accompaniment. ‘The Golux, played by Merle Balsley, who knows the duke’s mind, but is sympathetic, with Prince Zorn, did a good job as med- iator between the two. Hagga, the old woman, played by Megs Williams, important to the plot, though she only appeared briefly, looked and symbolized her part excellently, “eyes dry as des- erts and mouth made of stone.” The narrator, Grace Stevens, had -a—pleasant—voice,; and her reading and the stage action were well co- ordinated. The fantastic Todal played by Bonny Bonnett and Lois Potter deserves ,special mention for its facsimile of “rabbits screaming” and its ability to gleep. Mr. Thur- ber would doubtless be pleased. The supporting characters ade- quately completed the play. Roo Stainton and Penny Morgan were the luckless suitors. The guard was played by Pat Holland. The townspeople were Kathy Hubbard, Betty Myer, Lois Potter and Janet Campbell. Gay Booth doubled for Smell and Whisper. Bonny Bonnett and Audrey Wallenburg were stage managers. In this year’s Freshman Hall Play competition, Pembroke West won first prize while Pem- broke East received Honorable mention. The judges were Mrs. Btoughton,*Miss Howe, and Ad- rian Tinsley, College Theatre president. The plays were pre- sentd_in.Skinner Workshop, Fri- day and Saturday nights. Stagecraft, Mime In East House’s “Dick Whittington’ by Gretchen Jessup The East House mime, The Story of Dick Whittington, showed a com- mendable taste for experimentation, in its treatment of a favorite standard of folk lore, one which has offered a giddy number of children, not to mention adults, # glimpse of that solacé of good be- -havior, virtue rewarded, Obviously the freshmen had enjoyed whipping up their pleasant interlude by means which can indeed make a very interesting combination of stage techniques—off stage music, mime, narration, little stage set- ting and much suggestion: These lead to a sort of creation by re- flection, by indirection.“It is really a method suitable to something not real or everyday, such as folk lore or a fairy tale, and the fresh- men did well to try it, given the subject they chose, However, the performance was not equal to their intentions, which were apparently rather too am- bitious for the short rehearsal time freshmen plays allow. Of course, time is always the secret director of every freshman play, as much the prick to inspiration, as it is the frequent perplexer of purpose. One can’t help feeling that one great difficulty of Dick W. was an indecisiveness of mood—it might have been amusing, a sprightly spoof, or it might have striven for the credibility of the incredible that true. fairly tales have.

The responsiveness of the audience may be partially at- tributed to its ability to project themselves to’some extent into the play because of their intimate ac- quaintance with its setting. How- ever, most credit fér the play’s success belongs to the actors for | their_obviously_well-rehearsed—ren- dition of the dialogue, and to the Director: Jane Franzblau, the Upper Class Adviser: Sue Safier and the Stage Manager: Justine Petersen. The lead was Jane Loveless who portrayed Hyman Kaplan. Her suc- cess was due to her ability to lose herself in the character, which en- abled her to retain a pronounced German accent throughout and to convey the serious purpose of Mr. Kaplan in spite of the emphasis on his humorous. word concoctions. Barbara Gambrill, who repre- sented the teacher’s mind, also played an important role.

Phe fortunate choice of script, The Odyssey of Runyon Jones, eoupled with the appealing inter- pretation of the leading character by Cisca Duran-Reynals made the judges’ choice little less than in- evitable. : The story of Runyon’s search for his dog in Curgatory is not only a gentle dig at the ins and outs, red tape, and hierarchy of “organized law and order,” but a delightful comedy in itself. The part of Runyon was convincingly portrayed by Cisca, who aptly could be a mis- chieveous sprite one moment and a hot-tempered ruffian the next, but who never allowed the audience to forget that Runyon was just a lonely boy who loved his dog: fier- cely. Runyon, victim of the “pass-the- buck” routine, was relayed from department to department, accom- panied along his celestial course by strains of “harp” music (via the guitar of Dee Wheelwright). He passed through the hands of num- erous receptionists and officious clerks, among them Bea Kipp and Melissa Lordan, only to be referred to Father Time. Dee Rosenberg characterized him well as the de- partment head overduly impressed with his own capabilities. Others along Runyon’s circuitous route to Curgatory were Evie Card- well as Mother Nature—vitamin D in a Greek toga; Dee Crispin as the Harpie—actions speak‘louder than words; and Gene Hubb as the giant-pleasure before business. Directed by Kate Evans, advised by Ronnie Wolffe and Sue Jones, the play seldom lagged and main- tained consistency of interpretation throughout. Under the direction of stage manager Cornelia Wadsworth the stage crew handled thé fre- quent transitions and changes of scenery smoothly and rapidly. Radnorites Uphold Spoofing Tradition Introduced as a production “in the style of the commedia dell- arte” with “strolling players,” Radnor’s Mind Over Matter on Fri- day, promised to carry out that Hall’s theatre-spoof tradition of last year. Janet Lamborghini, ably doubling as announcer and on-stage makeup “crew,” introduced the protagon- ists of the “drama” while bedeck- ing them with representative marks of their calling (these ranged from jewels to dark rings under the eyes). First came Pierrot, poet but poor. Then Pierrette, actress, beloved of Pierrot of course. Pantaloon, glove manufacturer but unsuccessflil poet, was followed by Madam Buc- royan, fortune teller. A chorus clad in the ubiquitous academic gowns, singing the show’s only musical number. (admittedly stolen from The Boy Friend) rounded out the cast. As the fortune teller, Jane Bull- ard underplayed her part in a high- ly amusing manner. Continuing in the same satirical vein, Genevieve Vaughan as Pierrot, Marian Will- ner as Pierrette, and Gloria Cum- mings as Pantaloon started out quite well in the dealings with Pierrot’s and Pantaloon’s rivalry for Pierrette’s. love and the men’s subsequent exchange of positions in life. Marian Willner’s singing with the chorus was very good; Freshmen show in February would do well to make use of her lovely ‘voice. Unfortunately, the acting in the last few moments ofthe play broke down. and one wondered if the prompter were not playing too great a part. However, even at this point, Radnor’s players were still in-the spirit of their spoof and good humoredly proved that the ad lib is not so bad an institution after all. The Junior Class is pleased to announce the election of Angie Wishnack as its Secretary. Merion Displays Talent In “Tenor” by Barbara Broome Merion Hall’s production of The Tenor, which opened the series of ning, showed evidence of good direction (thanks to Liz Lynes). Technically the play was well done with most of the characters exhib- iting good stage presence. The choice of this particular play, however, left much to be desired as it unfortunately did not allow the players to fully display their abilities. The plot, centered about Gerardo, a hand- some opera singer who becomes in-: volved in numerous conflicts be- tween his ART and designing wom- en, was rather limited in its sim ‘plicity. Betty Ferber as Gerardo handled the leading role well in spite of the many difficulties such a character presents. She displayed good facial expression and her movements on the stage were convincing, twa for her rather feminine voice. Character Performance Helen and the young girl, two of ‘the many women in Gerardo’s life, (portrayed by Nahma Sandrow and Harriet Wasserman, respect- ively) also were well presented. Each, a definite character type, al- lowed the player more freedom than a less colorful role might have. “Another portrayal which deserves special mention was that given by Toni Killip. as an old man trying to sell his opera to Gerardo. This role, the pitiful old man, lacked the vividness and humor of the three previously mentioned charac- ters and for this reason was in many way, one of the most difficult to play. Toni, however, did a most adequate job and presented an in- teresting contrast to her fellow players. The three lesser characters in the production,-the two servants and the second girl found hiding in Gerardo’s room, although certainly not prominent figures, were also adequately portrayed by Judy Lef- kowitz, Marti Resnikov and Bar- bara Reid respectively. freshmen hall plays on Friday eve- - which © factors which greatly compensated .

It is “The purpose of this book to clarify man’s situation in this cri- tical period of human history, in- terpreting the present in the light of the whole of western history. This book belongs in the same trad- ition as Spengler’s The Decline of the West, To¥nbee’s A Study of History, and Ortega y Gasset’s The Revolt of the Masses.” Robert A. Wallace, newly-ap- pointed instructor in English, is one of three poets whose works com- prise Poets of Today IV. His section of the book is entitled This Vari- ous World and Other Poems. Scrib- ner and Company, the publishers, describe this series as one in which “An annual volume presents within two covers the complete books of several contemporary poets.” The only conditions set are that the poems be previously unpublished in book form, by a United States citizen, and of superior quality. Two more books will come out in October, Geddes MacGregor’s The Thundering Scot, a Portrait of John Knox, was due’ October 14. It is described as “ . . . the only recent- ly available biography of John Knox in the United States,” by the publisher’s catalogue. Eugene V.

The quantity’ is astounding, as is any publisher’s catalogue. But for Bryn Mawr there is, as well, plenty of moment amidst the seasonal amplitude: various members of the faculty have, or soon will have pub- blished no fewer than seven books this year, books representing a wide range of interest and sub- ject—philosophy, sociology, poetry, history, biography, gullibility.

Concrete Thoughts From West Indies For those who admire the the Charlie Chaplin school of humor, involving a persistent integrity in an irrespectful world, we reprint the following offering \from the Manchester Guardian Weekly: “A striking lesson in keeping the upper lip stiff is given in a recent number of the weekly bulletin of the Federation of Civil Engineer- ing Contractors, which prints the following letter from a bricklayer in Barbados to the firm for whom he worked: Respected Sir: When. I got to the building, I found that the hurricane had knocked some bricks off the top. So I rigged up a beam with a pulley at the top of the building and hoisted up a couple of barrels full of bricks. When I had fixed the building, there was a lot of bricks left over, I hoisted the barrel back the bottom, and then went up and filled the barrel with extra bricks. Then I went to the bottom and cast off the line, Unfortunately, the barrel of bricks was heavier than I was, and before I knew what was happening the barrel started down, jerking me off the ground. I decided to hang on and halfway up I met the barrel coming down. and re- ceived a severe blow the shoulder. |T then continued to the top, bang- ing my head against the beam and getting my fingers jammed in the pulley. When the barrel hit the ground it bursted its bottom, allow- ing all the bricks to spill out. I was now heavier than the barrel and so started down’ again at high speed, Halfway down, I met the barrel coming up and _ received severe injuries to my shins. When I hit the ground I landed on the bricks, getting several painful cuts from the sharp edges. At this point I mast have lost my presence of mind, because I let go the line. The barrel then came down giving me another heavy blow on the head and putting me in hos- pital. I respectfully request sick leave.” Collegiate! Casual! Comfortable!

Freshman: Continued from Page 3 found the play much easier to do, and much livelier; without needing to resort to slapstick, On the other hand, to be successful at using mime for straight narrative pur- poses demands a degree of con- centration and consistancy well beyond the occasional gesture and the noticeable expression alone. ™ Of the cast, Dick Whittington was good, and the Cat, very good, while the rest of the girls, in les roles all exhibited a worthy self possession on stage. Of the scenes that of the banquet on the island seemed particularly appealing. . it conclusion, it might. be added that certainly the interests of the freshmen plays idea are very well served if a large number of fresh- men participate, as East House’s did, in the hall play, and if the actresses seem, as again East House’s did, to behaving a good- humored fling with Theatre a la Skinner and Ingenuity Sauce.

Russians’ Satellite Sputnik Provokes Speculation, Statistics and Insomnia Sputnik, the recently ‘launched Russian space satellite, was the topic of a discussion led by Professor Walter Michels of the Physics De- partment Monday evening in the Common Room, During the course of the evening, a great variety of questions pertaining to the satellite were raised. Although the major portion of these were scientific ones, several questions entered both the social and political realm. In opening the discussion, Pro- fessor Michels gave a few statistics about the satellite, illustrating his remarks with a scale model, This model showed the satellite revolv- ing about the earth once every min- ute (the satellite actually revolves about the earth once every ninety- six minutes). Professor Michels further commented that the satel- lite is approximately 140 miles from the earth at its lowest point and approximately 540 at its high- est. . ‘ Two of the first questions raised in the discussion, pertained to a comparison of Russian and Amri- can technology in this field. In response to the query about what United States scientists have been doing in this area, Professor Michels said that, to the best of |his knowledge, America: has de- signed and built six such satellites leach... weighin.g.appreximately twenty pounds (Sputnik weighs approximately .184 pounds). The difficulty here, Professor Michels further commented, have been with rocket design. There is every in- dication here, he added, that the Russians adapted a military rocket and from this one may concludé that their progress is equal to or above ours, In response to another technical question about how long the satel- lite will stay up, Professor Michels commented briefly upon two factors which may influence the lifetime of the satellite: (1) the possibility of a meteor striking it and (2) the density of the air. Because infor- mation about these two factors is very limited, however, a prediction of this kind is extremely difficult. ] Dr. Michels did mention, however, that if he were asked to estimate the lifetime of the rocket, he would say somewhere between two months and one year. In response to further questions, Dr. Michels commented that there is little chance of the satellite’s be- ing able to map the United States at the present time. This, he added, would involve a much more detailed coding system and a langer lens. At the present time without a larger satellite any mapping either visual or by sound would not be precise enough to be of any prac- tical use. Russia reports, however, that Sputnik is measuring the tem- perature of the air, though as yet we have not been able to fathom its signals. International Science The exchange of scientific infor- mation between the United States and Russia was another question this Professor Michels replied that within the last three years there has been a good exchange of non- military scientific information. He gave as an‘example conferences held both here and in East and West Germany. Ariother question later in the dis- cussion pertained to the possibility of our seeing the satellite. Here Professor Michels said that the time at which the satellite may be ‘visible is about 6:30 a.m. There is a slight possibility that it may be visible to the naked eye. (Ideally one would see a mpderately bright point of light resembling a star, the rocket, and a few minutes later a weaker point of light following it (the satellite itself), but that binoculars or a telescope are ad- visable, stone cee ENP RR ORIEN RSH Do you look like the Beast instead of like Beauty?
