XLII, NO. 14 4 Bernheimer Returns To Art Faculty; Leave Spent in European Research By Helene Valabregue Dr. Richard Bernheimer, of the History of Art Department, is back at Bryn Mawr, after a year and a half on sabbatical leave in Europe. For the first year he hada Gug- genheim fellowship to do research on “The Italian Origins of Archi- tectural Romanticism”. He travelled a great deal through- out Europe in search of theatrical drawings from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. There has been very little work done in this field, although there is a great deal of important material lying around unnoticed in places like the Acad- emy of Fine Arts in Vienna and the Besancon Library in France. Most of Dr. Bernheimer’s time, however, was spent in Italy and in London where he used other librar- ies as indices to that of the Brit- ish Museum, which has an untold wealth of material, but which has its books catalogued by alithors only and not by subjects. This makes it impossible to find books unless one knows just what one wants. The “Italian Origins of Archi- tectural Romanticism” led Dr. . Bernheimer to a study of operatic libretti and their origins, for which he found much material in the fic- titious histories of chivalric tour- haments. These, it appears, were Wolfson of Harvard To Speak on Plato Harry Austryn Wolfson, Nath- an Littauer Professor of Hebrew Literature and Philosophy at Har- vard, will deliver the Theodore and Grace de Laguna Lecture in Philosophy on March 4 at 8:30 in the Common Room. Dr. Wolfson will speak on “Descendents of Pla- tonic Ideas.” ach year a distin- guished scholar is selected to de- liver the de Laguna Lecture. Dr. Wolfson, an eminent histor- ian of philosophy, has written Crescas’ Critique of Aristotle, The Philosophy of Spinoza, two volumes entitled Philo and has completed one volume of Philosophy of the often “staged”, it being predeter- mined who was going to win. He also did a study of the peculiar relationship between “devils and drawings” which begins in fifteenth century Florence, is prominent-in seventeenth century theatrical dec- orations in Italy and culminates in the romantic notions of eighteenth ventury “architectures of hell”. Dr. Bernheimer is writing a book on his research, the first chapter of which will probably be an article already published in the Art Bulle- tin in November. Entitled “The- atrum Mundi”, it is an attempt at defining the concept of theater. After the expiration of the Gug- genheim fellowship, he devoted his time to work on a book on his own theory of representation asa philosophic field independent both of aesthetics and semantics. Rep- resentation is of major significance in art, but is present in many other fields, such as language, law, and science. Dr. Bernheimér hopes to publish next summer his book on which he has been working since 1941. Although the past.year and a half have been exciting and very fruitful for him, Dr. Bernheimer, glad to be teaching again, at times felt that working with books and ideas was not “quite enough” Committee Begins Parents’ Day Work Parents’ Day this year will be held on Saturday, May 11 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The fol- lowing people have been elected or appointed to serve on the Par- ents’ Day Committee: Chairman: Martha Fuller ’58.

Bryn Mawr Sings In Choral Concert Organized lung power nudged the rafters of Haverford’s Roberts Hall Saturday afternoon and even- ing, February 23. The occasion was the presentation of a festival choral concert. Participants included the choral groups of six colleges: Bryn Mawr, Cedar Crest, Franklin and Mar- shail, Goucher, Haverford, and Muhlenberg; the brass choir of Lehigh University and instrument- jalists from the orchestras of Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore Colleges. The program was composed ‘of. a number of little known choral compositions. First came “Let Us Now Praise Famous Men,” by Ralph Vaughan Williams, sung by the combined choruses with organ accompaniment by Claribel Thom- son. Other works included “Four Mad- rigals” by Claudio Monteverdi, sung by Goucher; “Gesang der Geister uber den Wassern (Song of_ the Spirits over the Waters)” by Franz Schubert, which the choruses of Franklin and Marshall and Haver- Continued on Page 7, Column 5 “The South—Yesterday’and To- day” was discussed by Hodding Carter, Pulitzer’ Prize award-win- ning Southern writer and editor, last Monday noon in Goodhart under the sponsorship of the Alli- ance, Celebrating the twenty-fifth an- niversary of his editorship of the Delta, Mississippi Democrat-Times, Mr. Carter noted that he sas less proud of and hopeful for the South, “that cursed, blessed, and ‘wonder- ful part of our country,” and its progress in human relationships than he was three years ago.

Because ‘of this “folk,” the South suspects intruders, condones vio- lence, and insists upon group con- formity as a means of maintaining white dominance and its political and economic strength. “Mr. Carter listed three reasons for the existence of this “folk: 1) the fact that immigration, which parts of the United States, did not affect the South; 2) the fact that the South is the only section of the country which has known mili- tary defeat and occupation; and 3) the three century-long presence of the Negro, brought there un- willingly and used. _ Integration in Colleges Mr. Carter then referred directly leges were not ségrégated at” the graduate level at the time of the Supreme Court decision, and only at the University of Alabama had there been violence. However, he observed, an entirely different atti- tude exists at the “mass” or ele- mentary and secondary school level of education; there the culture lag between races is more obvious and resistance to integration is greater. Resistarce varies in three differ- ent areas of the South. It is least in the border states, divided in states like Texas, and strongest in “defiant South,” or states like Mississippi and Louisiana. In gen- eral, it takes the form of quasi- legal suppression, threats of force or violence itself. No defeitse, Mr. Carter said, can be made for the use of violence or for the Ku Klux Klan, wihch has been rising again in terroristic movements against integration. The leaders, however, of southern communities are often found in the White Citizens’ Councils, which at- tempt to use the law. The legal minds of the South are now poised against the Supreme Court, and as an ultimate legal weapon, the abandonment of public schools has been considered. The White Citi- zens’ Councils also seek to insure group conformity as a means of preservation of the older structure, but these attempts, Mr. Carter re- flected, hdve ill results. They both need too much energy and tend to destroy. southern values them- selves. Where To? What direction, Mr. Carter then asker, is the South facing as it confronts the changing social sit- question, he discussed the primary factors of unhappy race relations as being the “numerical pressure” dominant whites and the cultural _|lag. - However, let. pressure is decreasing significantly with changes in the southern economic structure. As the South becomes industrialized the Negro, for the first time no longer needed in an agricultural economy, ,is free to migrate, With the reduction in the number of Negroes, there. is a re- duction of tension. Although this is a negative way of solving race problems, it has been effective. Moreover, Mr. Carter went ‘on, industrialization has revised ‘the population. No longer an “agricul- a brought wider cultures to other * to integration. Most southern col- | uation? In order to answer his’ character of the general Southern 3 ‘ .

Vote It is generally hoped that the ablest and most creative people will lead the campus associations for the forthcoming year. At election time, then, it is our duty to take an active interest in the candidates, to read their. statements on plans and objectives, to participate in the informal after-dinner discussions with them, and to consider issues and nominees’ qualifications. : In its second year, the new election system has again been proving effective. Straw balloting has replaced the cumbersome nominating committee, the prohibitive number of class meetings formerly required has been reduced to a minimum, and the informal questioning in the halls can es- tablish the desired contact with candidates. It is hard to justify apathy at a small college where can- didates are known personally and where organization policies |- so directly affect all of us. We hope election results will re- flect a thinking, informed electorate. Men At 10:30 A petition has been submitted to the Self-Gov executive and advisory boards this past week for “modification of the rules that men are not to be allowed in dormitory rooms un- til 11:30 a. m. to ‘men will be permitted in girls’ rooms after 10:00 a.m.’ This change is requested for the convenience of students with out-of-town dates in particular.” After presentation of the petition, it was decided that the request would be taken up in the various halls. If gen- eral opinion is felt to be favorable towards the change, the matter will be voted upon in Legislature. If passed there, the final ruling wili rest with the administration. : The question of entertaining men at 10:00 in the morn- mg or one and a half hours later is hardly a burning issue. Yet it is not an insignificant one and is well worth the con- sideration of students who are being asked to voice their ypinions on it. Because of the present rule, girls with out-of-town dates on weekends are unable to entertain them in their rooms until 11:30 a.m. Under these conditions, those not athletically inclined to take walks on campus to use up the time between 9:00 and 11:30, are virtually “imprisoned” in the hall smok- ers. With all due respect to the congeniality of Bryn Mawr- vers, it must be admitted that a smoker-full of noisy bridge zames and multitudes of girls is often embarrassing and in- timidating to the college’s male visitors. The real root of this problem actually lies in the well-recognized fact that, in Bryn Mawr, there is no “place to go”. The college possesses no “student union building’, no “hangout” ; not even a “soda joint” it can call its own. Therefore, entertaining on the in- formal level must he done in the halls. oes We feel the petition to change the 11:30 rule to an earli- ertime is of value and would not be an inconvenience. On, the contrary, it would be a social advantage. As usual, there are two sides to the story. The present ‘Jate” rule exists for the benefit of late-risers and late-dress- ers. Those girls who would feel inconvenienced by the pres- ence of males “early” in the morning would have a valid ob- jection. Yet, let it be noted that the p resent-situation-oby —ously-does hot deter bathrobes and curlers from being dis- played in the smokers on late Saturday and Sunday mornings and at 10:00 p.m. milk-breaks. - Indeed, the spiriting away of-dates to girls’ rooms at an early hour might prevent their witnessing this more spectacular variety of Bryn Mawr sights. a ; _ | However, a non-beneficial result.of the change is only too possible, as far as noise is concerned. . If girls are to be per- mitted to entertain dates at an earlier morning hour, they should be especially considerate of their more soporifically mcelined neighbors. For this reason, we recommend that the petition be approved as a whole, but that the new time sug- gested be 10:30 a.m., not 10:00 a.m. | -. Of course, opinion on the subject will vary from hall to hall. Differences in smoker arrangement between halls—will some to consi e change should be adopted. a. * P feleome it. We feel 9 In general, we would like to congratulate the originat- _.-ors of the petition, not so much for its substance, but for be- _ ing concerned about it! Ea Baa: n-Obvi=4 the change unnecessary, others to / > o> nen —— By - Dearls Before - - - Patty Page Last Friday evening’s dinner in Pembroke started out true to form. The dining room was only. about half-full as a result of 1) the menu, which had sent a large segment to the inn, and 2) the fact that it was the end of the week, which was the signal for-a mass migration AWAY. The atmospheré was one of general boredom — noisy, but bored- nonetheless. Suddenly, all this changed. A momentary hush fell over the dining room, everyone snapped to attention and an intense but lower- pitched sound filled the air. The cause of it all? Fourteen (14) personable young men accompan- ied by only two girls had entered the dining room and taken over a whole table. The fact that the two girls were from another hall added mystery to an already inexplicable occurrence. * Rumors flew thick and fast— “They must have come down from Lehigh for the sophomore mixer ... Maybe they have something to do with the Chorus concert.’”’ One group guessed, correctly, that they were members of the Harvard swimming team who had just beat- en Penn that afternoon, but they couldn’t figure out why they were honoring Pembroke with their presence. After a few minutes, a couple of the boys rose from their table, plates in hand, and approached an- other where the ratio of girls was more favorable to them. They sat down and continued to eat, without making any comment as far as we could see. This was very disap- pointing. Since they had gone to all the trouble of joining us, the least they could do was be aimus- ing. One girl, whose motives were dubious, kindly decided -to help them out. “Aren’t you going to ask me a question?” she inquired. “Where are you girls from, Bryn Mawr?” one of them obligingly asked. After obtaining the desired reaction there was a_ painful silence. This was an inauspicious begin- ning but, nothing daunted, she tried again. “Well, aren’t you going to ask me what I’m studying?” The young man to whom the ques- tion was addressed ‘hesitated a moment, but not being able to think of a sufficiently witty reply he warily inquired, “What are you studying?” “I’m not studying any- thing, they’re: studying me,” was the disconcerting come-back. Silence reigned. The three girls dcross the table who had remained quiet throughout this friendly ex- change rose to leave. The boys, relievedly taking this as their cue, beat a strategic retreat, gathering courage enough as they got far- ther away from the table to make a few remarks about our hospital- ity. They were visibly shaken by their encounter. = Lots of interesting articles can be found in the depths. of old College News editions. But then there are always those that don’t seem too... well... they don’t have the same meaning today... perhaps. For example, in a-College News from February, 1917, we see under the ambiguous heading “Sporting News” (for it could mean “News for those who are absolutely Good Sports” or “News that we just had to print, so we’re being Sporting about it” or “this stuff isn’t really News, we’re just Sporting around”’) the following: “Water-polo fans who watched the hard-fought match between 1917 and 1918 at last Thursday’s practice, predict a struggle bet- ween them for the championship. “Joe Wright signed a three year contract last week as crew coach for the University of Pennsylvania. Wright, who coached Penn last year without compensation, has thus given up his standing as an, amateur oarsman and become a professional. (Isn’t this fascination itself? Well, to continue—) “The gymnasium contest will differ from last year’s contest in the introduction of a track exer- cise to complete the free movement drill. The free movement drill will be learned this year like the In- dian club drill, instead of last not learned but done to commands given by an outside instructor. The drill will come first on the pro- gram, followed by Indian clubs, apparatus work, and stunts on the parallel bars.” . And so forth... sigh...

Current Events Monday evening in the Common Room, as a complement to Mr. Carter’s speech on the South, four Bryn Mawr students spoke about chahges which have been taking place in the southern way of life. The purpose of the talks was to shed light on issues other than that of desegregation, which was en- tirely avoided except in the dis- cussion following the talks. All four girls live in the South but in different types of commun- ities and were therefore able to present quite varied viewpoints. Epsey Cooke, who is from Her- mando, Miss., a town of about 1200 inhabitants, spoke about the small town and how it is affected by the changes going on. Although the small town retains many provinciaf traditions, such as the “Big Day” on Saturday afternoon, when every- one comes to town, there is a real effort for growth and improvement taking place. The influx of industry from the North is helping the in- come of farm families, and north- ern industries like to move south because of the lower taxes. They are, however, hindered by the problem of whites and Negroes working side by side. Planning ex- perts are being called in to im- prove roads and general living conditions. The progress and im- provement in small towns is a good proof that the South is. not “de- cadent.” Elizabeth Ewing spoke of the striking contrasts provided by~her | Hhomeé, Nashville, Tennessee.

As a past direcor who has directly wit- nessed the genuine worth of a few weeks of sun and sea, instruction and creative group-living to an in- verracial group of country-and- attention-starved children, I- should like to express my belief in the very real value of -this college ac- tivity both as a charitable institu- tion and as a basic part of Bryn Mawr College. Although the actual location fo the camp has been changed many times, Bryn Mawr girls have con- tinued to provide valuable camp- ing experiences for Philadelphia’s underprivileged children for more than half a century. In What Makes a College (p. 245) Miss Meigs describes the formation of the Christian Union in 1891 and speaks of the summer camp’s be- ginnings as a part of the college’s charitable activities. Furthermore, I am sure that Miss McBride will not mind my mentioning her coun- selorship at the camp during her undergraduate days. ~~ Although we fondly joke about the Bryn Mawr tradition of tra- ditions, this is perhaps one of the few which continues to have a practical significance for persons outside the college community. It is one of the few opportunities that Bryn Mawr students have, while still undergraduates, to go beyond the college boundaries in a repre- sentative group and to put into practice some of their cherished idealistic views about democracy and education.

Dear Editor: In an age possessing the power of tnthinkable destruction, it must be the primary concern of every citizen of this country to establish international understanding, and to abolish the ever-present possi- bility of war. The United States today is in a position to lead the way towards peace, and it must meet this grave responsibility. We feel that our present foreign pol- icy, founded as it is on the strug- gle to maintain military suprem- acy, is leading us towards, rather than away from, war.” The outcome of every arms race in history has been war, and this same direction. The accumulation of military strength implies the threat of using that strength as a means for protecting our interests. It is unthinkable that we fully in- tend to unleash the destructive powers of our atomic weapons on even our most bitter enemies. Yet even if we do not intend this, and our threat is a bluff, it is naive to suppose that this bluff will eventually be called. When it is called, we will be compelled to car- ry out our threats, and the use of arms will cease to be a bluff. It will be a necessity. Our race for military supremacy draws us in- evitably to the use of military pow- er. Our military policy has repeated- ly failed to achieve its objectives. spel i — : “ ee - fone is Carrying-us-headlong-in-the not ob —— Continued on Page 8, Col. 5 - * < 2 for keeping students more aware Wednesday, February al 1957 - THE COLLEGE NEWS_ page Three Special College Election Supplement Candidates for Undergrad Lee Ellis Catherine Stimpson, The following question was ask- ed the candidates for the presi- dency of Undergrad: * What do you consider to be the function of the Undergraduate Association on the campus and how would you suggest that this func- tion be fulfilled? The following is a list of candi- dates for the presidency of the Undergraduate Association, listed in alphabetical order: ELINOR AMRAM LES BLUIS PATTY PAGE CATHARINE STIMPSON S ELINOR AMRAM Freshman: Freshman Hall Plays Freshman Show Permission giver (3 years) Campus guide (3 years) Sophomore: Sophomore Rep to Curriculum Committee Spanish Club Secretary Bryn Mawr Hospital Volunteer Freshman Week Committee Junior: 1st Junior Member to Undergrad Russian Department Rep to Cur- riculum Committee Freshman Week Committee The Undergraduate Association’s main function is to act as a chan- nel for “information between the students, which it represents, the faculty, and the administration. To act most efficiently it must be in a position to know and appreci- ate the views of these three groups on campus, and to transmit fac- ulty-administration opinions to the campus at lange. Undergrad comes into contact with the stu- dent body through the members of its board who should be generally well informed about student opin- ion and specifically well informed about their individual positions. Much’ depends on the efforts of each individual on the board to keep abreast of combined faculty- administration-student opinion and to carry information between the faculty and administration and ~the-students. Here Undergrad has excellent. opportunities, which should be tak- en full advantage of, in the new Advisory Board of hall reps, the Curriculum Committee head, the vice president as director of clubs, and the head of Arts Council, also new this year. These offer chances for contact with the faculty and the student body; perhaps the channel of communications which most needs to be widened is that between students and administra- tion. I would suggest that Under- grad concentrate on ” opportunitief| of pertinent changes and develop- ments in the policy of the admin- istration. Elinor Amram, Patty Page.

Handbook Payday Mistress (2 years) Election Committee Junior Class President Sec’y of College. Council Freshman Week Committee Hall Rep to Undergrad Advisory Board Junior Show The key function of the Under- graduate Association is co-ordina- tion. This is felt on many levels, from the mechanical scheduling of social events and student activities to the fina] handling of opinions and ideas—both from the students and the faculty-administration. Be- cause of the many. different areas of campus activity it is concerned with, through. the clubs and com- mittees, the Executive Board, and the Advisory Board,. Undergrad becomes a natural ground for dis- cussion and organization of college problems. Under the mechanical scheduling of activities falls the important duty of seeing that the connection is made smoothly from one year to the next. I feel that much im- provement could be made along this line, to save committee heads from being able to get information only from their predecessors; and thus from wasting a great deal of time and energy. Through the Ad- visory Board perhaps, a more rigid system of recording the organiza- tion and execution of all of the campus functions could be achiev- ed. Next year I feel will be an im- portant one to Undergrad. An ex- cellent channel has been found in the newly formed Advisory Board. This year its possibilities were investigated and tested; next year it should be operating with great efficiency. It has proved ex- tremely valuable in assuring |Undergrad a direct and responsible contact with each hall (and there-|—~— fore the entire student body)— valuable enough to merit voting power in Legislature, and greater importance in the hall elections.

As the one organiza- tion on campus in touch with o student associations, the fatulty and the administration, Undergrad has a unique opportunity to serve as a sounding board for student opinion. Its purpose, as the word “Undergraduate” suggests, is to give students, both as representa- tives of organized groups and as individual members of the college, being of the college community. Besides this most function of coordinating and acting necessary one of organizing stu- be a minimum of friction and confusion. relation to the individual is needed before it can best fulfill its func- tion as the voice of campus opin- ion. Since the concept of “ipso facto” implies*passivity on the part of the students, there is a danger that Undergrad may lose contact with them. The initiation of a board of Hall reps, providing for a closer exchange of ideas, was a big step forward; but it should be supplemented by occasional open meetings where interested students may discuss their views. More publicity in the News in the way of feature articles about Undergrad’s activities, a greater effort to explain faculty and ad- ministration stands to the students and more student participation would help to fulfill Undengrad’s role as the coordinator of student opinion.

Perhaps the most essential fea- ture of Undergrad is its duality of ‘purpose, which causes it to be an administrative organization whose usefulness depends upon the depth of its contact with the student body. Undergrad’s first purpose should be to receive, express, and un- derstand opinion ‘and new ideas. Secondly, although all students are members of Undergrad, not all can be expected to be interested in it; consequently, Undergrad must administer effectively, but unob- trusively. However, I believe that certain actions are needed before Under- grad* ean fulfill its purposes. The present Big Six structure has been called unwieldy and unrealistic, Mind I feel that Undergrad, as a member of the Big Six, should ad- vocate a study of those criticisms, and if they are valid, offer plans, for the reorganization of campus activities. Moreover, the Undergrad. Asso- ciation itself, whose constitution is subject to revision this year, should undergo self-examination to determine the meaning of its co- ordination and principles, to remove obsolete measures, and to insure that it has neither defunct nor un- recognized purposes. Because of its obligations to the individual and to the the entire campus, I further feel that Under- grad should undertake the follow- ing actions: 1) resolution of the position of Arts Council; 2) consideration of financial problems, including Undergrad’s unused sur- plus and the possibility of creating a committee to deal with financial problems common to Bix Six mem- bers; 3) examination of the pro- posal that Legislature elect its own permanent chairman, to replace the present plan where one presi- dent of a major organization acts as chairman, whereby Legislature might gain greater unity and val- ue; and 4) expansion of the fresh- man handbook to include activities in. the Philadelphia area.

The administrative body of Self-Gov must have the insight and ‘sensi- tivity to be aware of this growing ideal and realistically to interpret in relation to it. It must also have imagination and a sense of — perspective in’ making the spirit of this larger idea evident behind the framework of mechanical and seemingly petty rules.

The | Alliance is responsible not only to those who have special political interests, but to the entire student body; it is up to the Alliance to bring the campus into contact with politics~as part of its way of life. Of course, I realize that not everyone can be expected to res- pond to political affairs with the same enthusiasm; but Alliance should, at the very least, bring information and awareness of poli- tics to all students, by sponsoring speakers, conferences, and clubs. I believe that informed awareness is potential activity in politics, so that the goals of the Alliance should be 1) at least, to inform, and 2) at best, to inspire and channel enthusiasm for activity. _ The goal of general information is furthered by a balanced program of “personality” speakers, people “town meeting” to campus politic- al projects. Above all, I believe that the Alliance should be dedi- cated to bringing the challenge and excitement of political affairs with- in the range of every Bryn Mawr- ter’s experience. INA FLEEGLER | Freshman: Delegate to United Nations Princeton | Permission Giver (2 years) Freshman Show attributes of the Alliance is the flexibility of its* organizational structure. First of all, interest in current and political affairs is stim- ulated by the educational aspect of the clubs. Current Events, Debate Team, and the International Rela- groups whose programs are, in part, oriented to the informative nature of the Alliance’s activities. As new issues arise in domestic or national politics, the clubs can pre- sent, an authoritative background for or opposing viewpoints regard- ing such issues, in the form of lectures, discussions or debates. The Alliance gives students the opportunity to voice their opinions and encourages them to carry their ideas into the sphere of action. Every student is, in a sense, a member of the Alliance at the level of the Alliance Board, where she is represented by persons elected by her hall. Board meetings are open so that any individual may meeting-and may present opinions regarding the business at hand or suggestions for additional items to be considered. Should a student feel the need for an additional outlet for active participation, and the Board recognize such a need, she may form a new club to provide the opportunities desired. The Alliance also brings together related spheres of interest in pro- grams such as the coming confer- ence on the Middle East. I should like to see more programs of this type in the future. I believe that the major factors ‘which aid in Gaecomplishing the two-fold purpose of stimulation of erning~ force, This —is—important in considering the operation of the rules as they stand today, which are essentially a- formalization of: the opinions held by the Associa- tion’s members. ~ The actual interpretation of the rules comes from ourselves, with the Executive and Advisory Boards serving as a focusing point.

This is a problem that almost every organization faces, but with work for which there is no reward and perhaps not all the prestige you would find in other organiza- tions, the job of recruiting active members and stimulating inter- est is apt to be difficult. The Lea- gue can, however, offer a certain personal reward, a feeling of «elf- satisfaction that not-all organiza- tions can offer. In working with the League I would first concentrate on publi- cizing its activities in such a way that there might ensue an active interest among the students. Then I would start with the class of ’61 and try to instill an interest in League as soon as they arrive on campus.

By its very existence, it also encourages and urges stu- dents to engage in this kind of ac- tivity.

To function adequately as a member of any community an un- derstanding of the problems faced by other members of the immedi- ate or broader community is, if not essential, desirable and ex- tremely . valuable. Although the League is basically an organization of “doing”, I think it should spon- sor a social theorist as a speaker next year to investigate the more theoretical side of social action.

I have found all that I sought along these lines in the team sports of A.A. Partic- ipation in games of any kind offers beneficial demonstration of the value of fair play and cooperation as well as a change of pace from the tense mental concentration of study. For such reasons as these, every- one should be kept aware of the holds for. her and, correspondingly, that potential must be maintained and extended in all its many facets. Square dances and bridge are as varsity sports, each appealing to its own following. A.A. should provide more recréation opportuni- ties for those upperclassmen who enjoy athletics but may feel that they lack either time or ability for varsity sports. There can be little doubt that the presidency of A.A. offers a challenge. In a school such as Bryn Mawr with its indisputable academic emphasis, it is naturally difficult to determine the role of the athletic organization—At-Bryn Mawr there will always be many persons who have little or no con- cern for the A.A. Of course, since all here are ipso facto members, the organization should be directed in such a way as to provide inter- est for and increase the existing interest of as many persons as possible. -However, I feel that the most important obligation of A.A. is to those who are sincerely inter- ested in athletic activities and that A.A.’s function is to provide the facilities with which to meet the needs of these persons. up in connection with square danc-|" session and also enlarge the foot~|\ GRACE LABOUCHERE Freshman: Hockey Team Basketball Team Softball Team e || Sophomore: Hockey Team Basketball Manager Maids’ and Porters’ Show Junior: Director of Summer Camp A.A.

There are many ways in which a person can have fun by participating in A.A. activities: she can attend the Fri- day evening movies, she can take part in the “‘non-athletic” tourna- {ments such as bridge and possibly chess in the future or she can in- vite a group of her friends up to Applebee Barn to roast marsh- mallows on weekend afternoons. Another important aspect of A.A. is the coordination of inter- hall and inter-class games. I think that the inter-hall games are much more fun than the inter-class ones. There seems to be more enthusias- tic spirit involved; there is almost enough class competition as it is. More: people can. participate in inter-hall games and so more peo- ple-are directly involved. But the varsity games must not be forgotten either. There is not nearly enough all-college interest in these games; the only people on the benches are those on the team who haven’t had a chance to play yet. Perhaps if these games were better publicized beforehand, more people might attend. Varsity games also. provide the opportunity of meeting girls from other colleges.

An agnosticism, moreover, that stems from laziness, unquestioning naivete and that complacent insularity which char- acterize the- person of “immature faith” (and much agnosticism, though not all, is of this nature) is in no stronger position. 2) It is essential that to be responsible citizens today we overcome pro- vinciality in religious belief as well as in political and other cultural matters, that we understand even if we do not accept others’ views. The Chapel Speakers are among the foremost religious leaders in the country. We are given a unique opportunity to learn from these men of their much wider knowledge and :experience and, in discussion, to challenge them, find out why they believe as they do and then to adjust our beliefs accordingly. I will discuss my recommenda- - tions in the halls: 1) More mid- week programs of an informative nature (tours, speakers, etc.), 2) better publicity about the back- grounds of the speakers, 3) a questionnaire to assess student needs, 4) study-groups, should student interest warrant them.

But the students have a new responsibility to express their interest by their suggestions and by attendance at the Sunday evening Chapel services; the ongan- ization has an added responsibility to register campus opinion and act on suggestions offered. Judging from conversations in the halls, students have definite ideas as to the people they would like to hear at the chapel services. Lists posted in the different halls this year got an enthusiastic re- sponse and many of the speakers who came for the services were those suggested on these sheets. Once the campus has made work- able suggestions, the organization goes on to put these suggestions into effect. The responsibility does not stop there, however; it is re- turned to the interested students to be fulfilled by their attendance at the services. . The first few Chapel services of cial.

However, they too have a great deal to offer, particularly in discussions. The main fault is |that so few girls take advantage of all these opportunities. Publi- city, particularly the word-of- mouth variety, would be quite help- ful. Most of all, the Inter-Faith Association should continue to grow and improve as it has this year, so that everyone will know why it is now one of the Big Six organizations on campus.

Donna a junior at Bryn Mawr, spoke on “Religion in West Africa.” There are two main religions there, she said, the Moslem reli* gion, which is the greater, and the Christian. She spoke briefly of the histories of the-two-and-the effects that this has on their position in the country today. For example, the Moslems have been in British West Africa since the very begin- nings of its spread over the world. The Christian religion is compar- atively new in that it came much later by means of missionaries and suffered set-backs such as opposi- tion from the Moslems, disease and other troubles in coming from the coastal regions. An interesting fact was s brought out by Donna who said that Chris- ittle-cpp from the womén. of her country be- cause they welcomed a religion that does not condone plurality of wives as does the Moslem. This has been a major factor in the growth of the Christian faith in West Africa. EVES Benefits of Christianity Christianity has brought with it education, hospitals, scientific knowledge and many ,other things fact has hindered the Christians somewhat because the people na- turally associate the religion with British imperialism since it came along with it. The Christian miss- ionaries of today are fighting this idea. and trying to impress upon the people the importance and'sin- cerity of their beliefs. There is now in West Africa, somewhat because of this, a move- ment toward independence, Donna said. Steps are being taken in that direction in the government this year. After the talk, Donna answered questions from the audience on other aspects of life in her coun- orought out here was the fact that uhere is now absolutely no friction petween the two religions at all. ‘As a matter of fact,” .she said, we celebrate each other’s holidays and everyone enjoys them both.” According to Donna, things are amproving in British West Africa and people are very interested in education, medicine, science and progress in this forward-looking country. ae Madonna Faulkner “Talks on African sition | West Africa did not have under the Moslem regime.

Perhaps you are wondering who Iam...” These phrases are typical of most of the letters whether they be postmarked Princeton, West Point or Alton, Illinois.

Carol Porter’s studiously bent head and bare knees caught the eye of a young male,Gold Coaster, whose ideas were no less “bold” than those of our West Point man. Fan mail, it seems, is an inter- national institution: witness the ‘words of Hassan Sanni, Accra, Gold Coast: “It is quite a long time I have been searching for Ameri- can pen pal all over USA because I_likeAmerican—attitudes— more than all nations.” (Hassan proves his knowledge of “American atti- tudes” by his opening phrase of “how you do-baby?”) Among his reasons for writing, Hassan gives his desire to “work out method of becoming friends with them (Americans), for life is to be fortified by many friendships; to love, and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.” Hassan is 23 years old and em- ployed as a . delivery clerk in Accra’s harbor.

February 27, 1957 : ee Reports Work Voters’ League Common Room, Feb. 21 — The League of Women Voters is dedicated to educating responsible citizens who, by participating in government, gain a satisfying and rewarding experience, stated Mrs. John G. Lee, national president of the organization, It often it- self rather nebulous, long-range plans; it is difficult when working with the public to estimate a shift- ing climate of public opinion. Mrs. Lee emphasized-younger cit- izens’ ignorance of their political heritage and apathy about the val- ue of the vote. After the Seneca Falls Convention of Women’s Rights’ in 1848 and reformers like Lucretia Mott and Lucy Stone started the suffragette movement, it took 70 years of consistent ef- fort to win the franchise. The suf- fragettes encountered vicious op- position; in Congress itself the amendment was voted down at least five times. Forceful resistance to women in politics continued after its passing in 1920. Today League women involved in pushing a Bill of Rights Reappraisal Campaign are labeled “subversives” just as predecessors engaged in advancing , welfare legislation in the ’20’s were disparaged. ~~ Non-Partisan, Instrumental The League, organized on local, state, county and national levels, has been instrumental -in effecting many city manager systems, in improving election laws and in re- vising state constitutions. Non- partisan, it refrains from backing political candidates but does for- mulate policy at national conven- tions. It is often difficult for it to take stands on national issues, as. indicated by its present. silence|} on segregation. A similar situa- tion arose last fall during the Suez Crisis when there was the grave threat of a Third World War. The League, always staunchly behind the U.N., channeled its efforts to educating communities across the United States about the causes for the crisis, rather than risk inter- Carter Continued from Page 1 tural folk,” the South is living less in the past, although old patterns have not died, and is entering the national main stream. Always a source of cultural strength, the South can contribute still more.as it becomes more close- ly allied to the nation. Mr, Carter noted particularly the “tremend- ous spiritual reservoir of the South.” If, he said, the southern states can learn to apply their morality to all races, they can arouse in the nation the greatest spiritual revival of the twentieth century. In conclusion, Mr. Carter re- marked that at least two genera- tions will be needed before integra- tion can become stable, but it will despite the interim of “terrible ordeal.” Seen first on a college plane, intergration will be com- pleted last on the level of mass education, but it will quicken with Negro migration. “I have enough faith in my people . ... as Ameri- cans,” Mr. Carter said to be sure ‘that they will accept the.
