VOL XLV—NO. 14. ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1960 "© ‘Trustees of Bryn Mawr i eeieda 1960 Princeton “Joins BNC “BMC Chorus — To Produce Dynamic Concert by Kristine Gilmartin The grand climax of Haydn’s Te Deum Laudamus with chorus and orchestra praising triumphant- ly together concluded, a most sat- isfactory and pleasurable concert by the Bryn Mawr College Chorus and the Princeton University Glee Club. The Princeton University Orchestra, with additions from Bryn Mawr and Haverford, was an excellent complement. The concert was given Saturday evening, February 20, in Goodhart Auditorium. Robert L. Goodale, Bryn Mawr’s familiar giant, and Walter Nollner and Nicholas Har- sanyi, both of Princeton, conducted. Bach’s Cantata No. 182 for Palm Sunday was performed by a selected group of Princeton and Bryn Mawr singers. The chorus selections were generally well done, but the group only seemed to warm up to its potential in the conclusion. The fugue-like nature of the work was not always as clear at it might have been,: but the. diction was remarkably fine. The bass recitative - and aria, sung by Thomas R. Donnelly, were pleasant if somewhat weak. Mar- ian Willner, Chorus president, sang the contralto aria, with fine sup- port from Katherine Hoover on the flute..Miss Willner showed the beauty of her voice in quality and expression and phrasing especially when she relaxed for the repeat of the aria. Hers was certainly the outstanding performance of the evening. Howell S. Zulick sang the tenor aria with strong spirit and fervor. The entire orchestra gave a very expressive performance of Nanie by Johannes Brahms. In the ro- mantic vein, this selection ranged from the tender to the triumphant, and Mr. Nollner succeeded, by particular attention to dynamics, in evoking from his singers a beautifully varied and moving performance. As for the Haydn Te Deum Laudamus, it was glorious. The musicians were such in every sense of the word and revealed their true quality in this dramatic and ex- citing work. The choruses left the audience feeling as exalted as their. praising had been. Students Consider Sorbonne Studies, Seniors Detail Pleasures And Profits -|Foith and State Probed by Panel How can religion, organized re- ligion, have an effect ona free so- ciety such as that in the United States? Or, conversely, what chal- lenge does a free society present to religion? These questions will form the foci of a series of Tuesday eve- ning programs sponsored by the Interfaith Association during the month of March. After much think- ing and research, the planning group decided on the particular speakers and types of programs that would best present the issues and conflicts involved in the. topic “Religion—A Challenge -to~ the Free Society.” The first of. the 8:30 Common Room programs, “The Tension Be- tween Religion and a Free Society,” will be a lecture by William Clan- zy, the Editor of World View and the Educational. Director of the World Peace Union. He will speak on the evolution of the major problems arising from the several religious groups, convictions, and interests within the U. S. politi- cal community. Following the ed- dress there will be three discussien groups led by Mr. Brown and Mr. Bachrach of Bryn Mawr and Mr. MacCaffrey of Haverford. Religion and Society ‘The topic “Is Religion Opposed to a Free Society?” will be. dis- cussed by a panel. Mr, Paul Henry Lang, in the sec- ond of his Flexner lecture series on music, spoke on “The Concept of Religious Music in the Middle Ages.” He plunged into the topic without any preliminaries, relying on the background supplied by his first talk of the series. Mr. Lang pointed out that whereas the people of Western Europe were able to accept and assimilate Christianity, they found its asceticism hard to take. The conflict materialized in the strug- gle of papacy against empire with the Carolingians, leading to social and political upheaval. Out of this tremendous moral and intellectual tension sprang Western music. Western music is compounded from widely divergent cultures, In it are mixed Graeco-Roman mem- ories, national] leanings, and Christ- ian asceticism. The asceticism supplies the symbolism, and the Graeco-Roman tradition the sure- ness of formal conception. (Music had been the most active accompaniment to the debaucher- ies of the declining Roman world. To the first leaders of the Christ- ian church, the moral degeneration which they were trying to combat became synonymous with this mu- sic, They showed great sagacity in soon realizing the innate need Three Bryn Mawr seniors ont parlé about the Sweet Briar program for Junior Year in France in the Ely Room at Wynd- ham on Wednesday, February 17 at 8:45 p.m. Punctuating their talks with comments on the minor problems that they faced—the Metro sys- tem, making new friends, adopt- ing a taste for wine and strange French delicacies—Sue Lasersohn, Loline Casanelles and Eva Martin outlined their year.

At the Sorbonne courses were offered in the sciences and in both French and American literature. In addition to these weekly classes he Americans had another one. im which they were given preparation for their courses. This system of “repetitions” (re- hearsals) seemed to be some- what a spoon-feeding to the Bryn Mawr representatives. This year in France provided an excellent opportunity for com- paring the attitudes of the Amer- icans and the French. The panel- ists attempted to summarize the distinctions they found. The French tend to admire the intellect greatly; they are critical in their own country, but adapt easily to new customs when visit- ving other countries, They live in the past and glorify tradition. The a.» girls_noted_..théir individualism, Highly erudite conversation heging. their idealism, and their’ perfec- tionism. The Brym Mawrters thought that Americans differ from this in that they are afraid of nothing, and nothing is sacred to them. | They are generally naive and tend to see all things subjectively. They are a strange mixture of credu- lence and mistrust. One of the pleasures of study- ing in France is the high regard in which students are held there. A student card permits entry in- to theatres, purchase of ‘books and even meals, all at half price.

Thus it is totally removed from the West- ern mind, and immediately on its introduction to the West was sub- jected to corrosive forces. From the shapeless and rhythm- ported from the East, the Western people attempted to move towards more articulation to suit their taste. Just as the Church and na- tional state merged in the feudal empire of the Carolingians, so there was a similar merge in mu- sic.

Back in the studio we rehearse Elements Of Mediaeval Music |; Elucidated, Analyzed By oy ern music are Gregorian chant and folk song. Gregorian chant is in fact a particular variety of folk song adjusted for use in the church, Mr. Lang went on to describe the origins and characteristics of true folksong. When this music was transformed into church mel- ody, it became articulated, acquir- ing a beginning, a middle and an end. In pinning down the differences between secular and religious mu- sic, Mr. Lang again stressed that although the European people submitted to Christianity, they clung to their naturalism. The popular, naturalistic elements of folk music intruded on church mu- sic and finally, in amalgamation, conquered it. Church music is collective and universal, whereas folk music is very subjective, an expression of the. individual. ‘Although church music has always’ had secular ele- ments in it, its general orientation is against nature. Patterned on Christian theology, with its time- less, shapeless God, church music similarly rejects time, seeking to deemphasize it. Vocal music in the church is» closely determined by its text, which is usually in is conveyed by the sense of the words, and the relation between . sections of the melody is textual, logical. Religious music, then, in its origin at least, is denatural, spiritual, and, strictly speaking, amusical. Folk and religious ex- pression occasionally meet, as in the best Gregorian chant, where musical articulation coincides with rhetorical articulation. ““Big’’ Production Promised By C. T. Bryn Mawr College Theatre and Haverford Drama Club have be- gun work on The Merchant of Ven- ice to be given in Goodhart on March 11 and 12. Costumes and set are to be in the Italian Renaissance style, as indicated by the setting in Venice. Merchant will use Goodhart to its best advantage, with a set differ- ent from any that College Theatre has used in the past, composed of arches, columns, and richly draped curtains hanging from the battens. The tones of the set will be gold, silver, and lead, echoing the theme of the three caskets, Especially because this is a “big” and well-known Shakespear- ean play it’s felt that a great many people could learn much and enjoy themselves by working on produc- tion.

Entered as second class matter at the Ardmore, Pa., Post Office, under the Act of March 3, 1879, A Matter Of Time A few months ago—Those quiz shows are ridiculous; certainly hope Bryn Mawr doesn’t get mixed up in anything like that. Everyone (but the speaker and a few other super- ior souls) thinks that just because you’ve memorized a few facts your college is better than another. A few weeks ago—All I can say (and it turns out to be a substantial amount) is that we’d better make a good show- ing, if we’re going in for this foolishness in the first place. Just how is it going to lok if Bryn Mawr gets beaten by some cheesey university that no-one’s ever heard of? A few days ago—(Sunday, to be exact)—Wouldn’t it be funny if we won? Ever since—I’m glad to know we have some bright peo- ple her (looking at the non-bright people around her), we certinly had it all over Cornell. —I knew the heads of those committees. At least Fulbright; at a guess, that is. In, Experimental Writing we find something like this (from a young realist): “So he reached out with a lefter! Pow! Straight to the sziglomatic arch!” Now—tThe tide is turning again; to a forward look. —Dartmouth has a lot to choose from, but I think we have a good chance.

We won, you see! Provisions For Privacy Delightful it is in this era of cold and formidable effic- iency to note that, even with regard to so pragmatic a con- sideration as the construction of a dormitory, judgments can still be based on other than purely pragmatic values. In planning a dormitory with a preponderance of single rooms Bryn Mawr is adhering to an old tradition but veering sharp- double; it is at the same time demonstrating its scarcely- questioned, but by no means universally accepted, assumption that there are things more important than pure economy, and that one of these things is the right to privacy. Thoreau was not the first poet or philosopher to sigh over civilization’s preclusion of solitude, and McCall’s Maga- zine has not yet managed to placate sociologists about its replacement with often unavoidable togetherness. Nonethe- less, despite recurrent voices of protest, society seems to be conspiring to eliminate privacy simply by making it more and more inexpedient. The consequences of this tendency we shall not touch on, for it is not our purpose here to com- ment on the relative merits of aloneness; we'd like simply to note how nice it is that, despite the apparent incompatibility of dollars and square inches, Bryn Mawr girls who want them will be able to have rooms of their own.

It is almost impossible to comment on any series so various, In general, all that can be said is a word of appreciation of its existence, a boon to readers and writers alike. The quality of the poems published under Penny -;Poems seems to me to vary greatly, as does their style and interest. As might be expected, the least ambitious, and usually the least pretentious, are certainly the most polished, and often the most effective, it is partly this variety, even when in quality, which makes‘ the series interesting. Particularly .|for a reader who is himself involved in writing poetry, failure may be as useful and interesting to recognize as is success, The poets are identified only as to name and place of origin. They range from New Haven’s “The Boy Poet” to Mr. Wallace of the Bryn Mawr English Department, whose poem, “Bleck Head, Ireland,” appeared earlier this year. Altogether, this last refuge of the left-over pen- ny seems to me well worth taking note of, whether * as a contributor, a subscriber, or an occasional buyer. Mr. Green Challenges Professor’s Dichotomy The researcher “clad in the robes of financial er- mine... is the Prince Charming of the faculty, the darling (and at times the spoiled brat) of the ad- ministration, and the pride of his department.” This situation must inevitably have a negative effect on the caliber of courses offered at our - universities. This comment expresses the position adopted by “a college professor of many years’ standing” in an. article entitled “Too Many College Teachers Don’t Teach” appearing in the New York Times Magazine Section, February 21, 1960. The basic premise of this professor; pen-named John Q. Academis,that “the men in the lab is overshadowing the man in the classroom” and that niiseasiinaicttaiuial ‘Ode to a Lively Art by Elizabeth Wayland (‘Betchen’ Wayland is known to neophyte folk dancers at Bryn Mawr as the originator of last © year’s Folk Dance Club and an assistant instructor in the gym department class.) “Folk dancing is such a sweaty sport!” a friend used to declare, as she hurled herself exhausted into | a chair at the endof-g—strenuous evening. “Polk dancing can also, in its present form, be a highly intellectual recreation, for to remember the intricate footwork and floor-patterns (not to mention proper movement of hands, arms, head, and even eyes) for dozens of dances requires a fair amount of mental training. And precisely because I enjoy. the chal- lenge of a great variety of dances, I use the term “folk dancing” to include square dancing on a par with any and every other type of folk dance. — The field is big enough to provide interestingly new material for many years of work (I started eleven years ago); however, a few hours of intel- ligent instruction can provide a newcomer with the basis for almost every dance of Western tradition. I say “Western” because I am unqualified to speak of any areas farther south than Palestine or farther east than Armenia and the Ukraine, Many Arts Allied Beyond the scope of mere dancing lie many allied arts. For example, I spend much of my free time in the summer embroidering folk costumes,-in order to provide'a more authentic air to our parties and exhibitions. My Yugoslavian (Dalmatian) costume took two months to make, yet next to the pictures it looks positively plain!-An even larger headache than embroidery is the problem of shoes; just ‘try to buy or manufacture tall red boots that fit like gloves, or “Opanki”—soft Yugoslavian slippers with turned-up toes! Lyrics, Chants, Footwork ‘Collecting words to sword songs, learning calls and chants in Hebrew or Serbo-Croatian, discovering - variants. in music or dance-steps—all these are a part of folk-dancing. (Some of the stories behind the dances are fascinating too. One popular Greek dance is reputed to be that which women used to dance” off the edge of a cliff, preferring destruction to capture, when their men had been killed in war. Peculiar Instruments Startlingly peculiar instruments with equally un- usual sounds also appear: bagpipes from Scotland “only those interested in research can hope for a future in the university of today” was, however challenged by Mr. David Green, English Professor at Bryn Mawr, commenting on the article and the problems it raises, Mn the Humanities at Bryn (Mawr, he noted, such a problem does not exist. “Teaching is considered more important than re- search and in selecting future faculty members of Bryn Mawr their teaching ability is of primary importance.” “Research implies a knowledge of the alive part of the field of study,” continued Mr, Green. “It cannot truly be divorced from knowledge in a spec- ific field ... A professor interested in research in his field will diffuse this interest among his students, taking them up in the research too.” In. this sense students resemble “apprentices” working under their professors, y Research, he said, enables a professor to keep constantly aware of developments in his field and prevents the onset of mental stagnation. This, ‘rather than lowering the quality of a course, lends vitality to the professor’s lectures. Though agreeing with the author of the article that the word “research” has become drained of its real content, and that much of what is called re- search is merely a “fad and a pose,” Mr, Green noted that at Bryn Mawr there is no dichotomy between research and teaching in the (Humanities. horns, Austrian hackbretts (something like the zither, with a hundred: strings). The modern re- cording industy has done much to spread the avail- ability of authentic reproductions of the music of these instruments thereby obviating the necessity of a live band or orchestra for dancing. Clues to Temperament One can even learn a great deal about the temper of a people from its folk-art. ‘Hungarians, for in- stance, love bright costume and fast music, as do many Poles. The French are much more sombre in their taste. Uikrainian dances are noted for the physical prowess which they require. I remember watching one group of Yugoslavians perform a slow | acrobatic dance (from a mountain district where sure-footedness was a “must”), in which they mov- ed to the various thumping of an enormous drum. After the man had balanced for several minutes on one leg (while twisting the free foot all about) and then on the other, the drummer set his instrument down—still beating it on either end—and allowed the head dancer to climb up onto it. The leader then proceeded to repeat the entire sequence on top of the reverberating drum, Finally, crooking his free foot behind his knee, he very slowly sat down onto his foot, arose again, and with an extra twirl of his handkerchief leapt to the floor! and Brittany, double flutes from Yugoslavia, Alpine ~~~ Potter Reaches Denouement of Drama Continued from Page 1, Col, 4 not to fiddle with our microphones during the commercials it produc- es static), and not to’ keep watch- ing ourselves in the little tele- vision set onstage, because if we do the screen shows our profile gaping at something on the far right which is, of course, the little - television set onstage. : Questions are fired.

It is a story of the simple people who live in Green. willow and of the reasons for their heartaches. Greenwillow is a small American town around the turn of the century. This makes the play sound similar, at least in setting, to Take Me Along or The Music Man, but here the similarity ends. Although the settings of these two musicals are old, the plots have a modern touch. The former is con- cerned with an alcoholic and a young man struggling to grow u The conflicts in it are very sim- ple, and can be said to be repre- sented by the two preachers: Rev- erend Lapp speaks of hell-fire and damnation, while Reverend Bird- song (preaches happiness on earth. One of the highlights of the show is the song between these two, as they are planning sermons on the coming of winter. In the refrain, the fonmer sings “repent” and the latter “rejoice.” The conflict is further brought out by Gideon Briggs (Anthony Perkins) who is afraid to woo the girl he loves because of the curse among the confusions of. h-|of the wanderlust which the devil ical ideas, and the latter concerns|has placed on the eldest sons of @ con-man who, has invaded a small | the family, and in Thomas Clegg, town.

Some people: would say they were corny, but to anyone caught up im the spirit of Green- willow, nothing cleverer would have been fitting.

Our Self-Gov. Assoc. is only as strong as the responsibility taken by every single individual com- prising it, both for her own ac- tions and for the community.

Intelligent assent im- plies as well, intelligent dissent, through the democratic process, which is essertial for change. For both intelligent assent and change, therefore, it is imperative that there be swift and facile com- munication between the members erning bodies. The recent expan- sion of the college into small and scattered living areas and the ten- dency on the campus toward being “dorm centered” tends to break down this communication.

It is similarly no revelation that this very interest in self government is lacking at Bryn Mawr. It is a paramount weakness in our sys- tem. I believe that the problem this presents can be alleviated by increasing active participation in the assocation. I propose that the Self Government Assocation be composed, not only of the execu- tive and advisory board members, but of new Representative mem- bers as well.

It is only by being a link between these dif- ferent groups that the organiza- tion can effectively coordinate the traditions, clubs, job appointments and other extracurricular interests of the student body. Without a certain amount of stu- dent interest and responsibility, Undergrad cannot usefully carry out its varied duties which effect almost all phases of campus life. The decisions of Undergrad need to be responsible to and represen- tative of student opinion. Unfortu- nately this is often difficult to as- certain and then to define. To remedy this situation, there should be more communication on campus among students and be- tween the student body and Under- grad.

One of the main jobs of the board is organization and coordination of these activi- ties, The center of the organization is the board, which in my opinion should act as a cohesive and in- formed receptor and disseminator of ideas and activities.

I believe that Alliance is not mere- ly an organization; it is potential- ly a dynamic force to inform the student body and to generate its interest. In the presentation of current issues to the college, Alli- ance is in effect directing the at- tention of the student. It is my contention that through the years Alliance has failed to exercise its full potential. If elected President, I would ini- tiate more regular and better pro- gramming, in particular, frequent Current Events and more timely speakers. While our topics in the past have been “good,” they have often not interested a substantial part of the student body.

It.is my belief that Alliance was established to maintain an aware- ness on campus of current politica} events and their implications. To a limited degree this aim has been fulfilled, but I think that there should be greater concentration on bringing before the student body the important happenings in the world of politics today. More emph- asis should be on the informative aspect of Alliance than is now man- ifest: This is not an impracticable aim for Alliance and I believe it to be a pertinent and necessary one. There are many areas within the scope of Alliance where it could be achieved. There are two main areas where careful planning could remedy the failure of Alliance in recent years to provide a sound awarerfess and comprehensive knowledge of cur- rent affairs. The first area where this could be remedied is the inter- nal improvement of the clubs un- der Alliance. One of the chief or- gans Alliance has for disseminating information, precisely in this field, are the Current Events lectures. If issues were explained briefly and clearly before an interpretative dis- cussion ofa situation was begun, students““would be able to know causal-factors as well as an evalu- ation of the problem and examina- tion of its possible effects.

What ought it to do? Is there a gap between the two and if there is how may we fill it? Alliance is supposed to be the focus and locus of political thought and action.

The Alliance board could be a great source of politi- cal discussion, but now acts in an uncreative capacity merely as an administrator. Why does this situation exist? In the first place, nobody thinks she can contribute to political dis- cussion but comes to meetings be- cause she feels that it is her duty to do so. She is wrong in her first assumption; she can at least voice an opinion which is based purely on a bias. From this she may be- come aware of this bias and ques- tion its validity. At the same time nobody thinks anything will result from discyssion. However, some- thing would result if conditions were conducive to it, for example, if meetings were held at earlier tims in more pleasant and less businesslike surroundings.

Each organizaion should re- examine its philosophy and under the newly adoped plan should at- tempt to fulfill its purpose of ex- istence to the extent most- bene- ficial to the college community. The aims of Alliance have been to stimulate political thought and controversy on campus and to provide active outlets for related activiy through relatively autono- mous clubs.

Melinda Aikens, of those whom we serve? How may we be more effective in fu- ture?» The choice to modify, the chance to progress are inherent in Alliance, however the first full year under reonganizaion will be an unusual and exciting challenge to both the membership and its leaders. There is a distinct opportunity for integration within the social sciences as discussed by Messrs. Bachrach, Brown and Schneider in the News. Alliance can rise to this need by providing speakers and activities which cut across disciplinary lines; such flexibility of. program should appeal to a wider group of interests on cam- pus, One means would be greater coordination with League and In- tenfaith. In addition, cooperation would conserve limited funds and diminish undue inter-organization competition. This attempt at broader range of topics is not new to Alliance, nor—is-the concept of joint action, but there is room for development in both areas.

We have taken as indices of its failure such things as the poor attendance at chapel. Much of the first part of this year was spent in reorganizing, in the hope that by a new plan of action we might be ‘better able to put ourselves across. I think perhaps the reason that Inter-Faith has failed to arouse the interest of a larger segment of the campus, not only in the speak- ers but in the organization itself, is because the organization sees it- self in a role it can never play: that is, a spiritual one.

As a representative or- ganization, it should be able to gather student opinion and to pro- vide for everyone who wishes it, an opportunity to express her re- ligious views. Perhaps one of the most impor- tant and least recognized functions of Interfaith is to introduce stud- ents to churches and synagogues in the area, To effect such a pro- gram, Interfaith must work close- ly with local clergymen. For this purpose we might consider a new system of representation on cam- pus wherein a girl of each denom- ination would represent the church or synagogue which she consistent- ly attends: For the campus direct- ed activities of Sunday night Chapel and mid-week lectures, there would be one representative in each hall to contact students for opinions and announcements.

Should the driving rule and library regulations be clearly ad- opted under the honor system? Are we as a student body willing and/or able to accept full respon- sibility for their application and enforcement? Arleen Beberman Continued from Page 4, Col. 5 Exactly what is a “worthy pres- entation” will be difficult to define since many members will disagree whether a folk-singer or dancer has more artistic merit or wheth- er the college prefers the former to the latter. Nevertheless, it is performer or. theatrical presenta- tion for the sake of giving the masses something to see regard- less of expected enjoyment For example, many .people have been disappointed with certain events to which the ticket agency offered tickets and transportation Arts Council is thus indirectly blamed for sponsoring inferior presenta- tions. Yet it does not have to ac- cept blame or criticism since its intention ‘was merely to sponsor and not to appraise the events. But the ticket agency does appear sensitive to events. which prove to be unsatisfying and wasteful of their precious time and more prec- ious money. ‘Certainly Arts Council is not responsible for the artistic merit of outside professional perform- ances but it is responsible for events on campus such as concerts, poetry readings and Arts Night. The musicians from Curtis Insti- tute have been very successful here and deserve great praise. For- tunately, these people were rec- ommended by students of Bryn Mawr and Haverford who judged them to be intelligent, creative art- ists worthy of our sponsorship. In this way Arts’ Council has been conscientious in its choice of con- cert performers. The choice how- ever involved a few members who were themselves musicians and more competent. to judge.

Certainly it is something worth looking into.

In addition, I hope to see added to the board a representative from every denomination represented at Bryn Mawr, to form a committee headed by the church co-ordinator, with a hope of seeing more fruit- ful relations between individual students and the churches or syn- agogues which should be serving them.

Beatrix Preyer Continued from Page 4, Col, 1 at least one common area of inter- est. The main causes of apathy toward or playful ridicule of A. A. seem to lie in the compulsory aspect of sports that meets all freshman and in common feeling in regard to var- sities that “I’m not. good enough.” For the first problem there is per- haps no remedy but to accept one’s lot and take the attitude that gym classes aren’t work but relaxation. The second obstacle is also difficult to combat, for the girl in ques- tion is usually one who hasn’t quite enough interest to make herself good enough. There are still inter- class and intermural games, which, I think, turn out almost invariably to be more fun than expected by anyone who participates. It might also be a nice idea to have in the spring a tennis tournamet open to anyone except members of the ten- nis team. A’ third very common deterrent to potential sports enthusiasts is the feeling that these activities re- quire too much time—an attitude which I can’t help but condemn and lament. The facts are that anyone who ventures to find out for her- self ceases to wonder if she can afford the three or four hours a week that varsities, for instance, involve. A.

I fee] these objectives can be real- ized by a) definite responsibilities for hall as well as class reps, b) a sign-up system for the various committees, rather than appoint- ments based on hearsay of who might be interested, c) monthly reports of the committees and clubs, to be included in posted minutes, and d) having copies of the recently revised Undergrad Constitution and a chart of the structure of campus organizations available for general information. Everyone realizes that the scope of the many campus organizations is.very wide. As Common Treasur- er I have-gained insight into these varied activites through discussing the finances necessary, and thus have been provided with a broad! background for constructive lead- ership of the Undergraduate As- sociation and for representing its many aspects to the interrelated administration-faculty-student or- ganizations.

The problem concerning commu- nications throughout the college community has been raised many times. My own feeling is that the fault lies more with lack of in- terest than with the physical ina- bility to communicate through ex- isting channels. I do, however, think it would be feasible for Un- dergrad to have copies of minutes printed and distributed to the halls. In this way each sudent would have easy access to current news of the activities of the As- sociation, in addition to that which is reported through the College News. I am looking forward to the dis- cussions in the halls, through which I hope we can exchange opinions on these and any other problems which may arise. a Kathleen Livezey Continued from Page 5, Col. 5 emotional depth of this religious dimension of life. In addition to allowing time for open student discussion in the IF board meetings, IF serves as a channel] for various religious activ- ities on campus, including mid- week lectures and: discussion (the two fall panels and the coming March series on “Religion in a Free Society”) and the opportun- ity to invite leading religious thinkers in the U.S. to speak in the Sunday evening chapel.

The new situation will plainly call for not only more active leadership on the part of members of Under- grad, but also a sharper sense of responsibility toward the support of the non-ipso facto organiza- tions by focusing interest on what- ever is important and firing cam- ppus~wide enthusiasm in those en- terprises and activities that must The amount of energy we direct toward our “reorganized” Under- grad will determine its effective- ness.

In this manner, the infor- mation would be easily available to interested students. Their opinions on all topics concerning the campus would reach the board. One of the main issues of next year’s president will be to interpret and execute the new constitution. I think the new president should use this constitution to continue the process of simplifyig’and mak- ing more efficient the workings of the various groups over which she presides. A good start has been made towards an efficient, less bu- reaucratic organization, and it should be continued. I believe the new president, then, should prim- . arily devote her year to establish- ing effective communication and to making Undergrad run efficiently under the new constitution. ® @ @ Melinda Aikins Continued from Page 5, Col. 1 good speakers. Our speakers’ fees obviously must be increased. I feel that this could be done without in- creasing the present budget. The funds appropriated for the clubs under Alliance are often not fully utilized by the clubs and could be directed toward the speakers’ fund. The Alliance needs a weekly col- umn in the College News to inform the student body of the happenings of the past week from a student’s point of view with special emphasis on ‘the effects on students and their role in current national and international] affairs.

I am convinced that it is only after we experience more “com- munication” on those levels that we can possibly hope to join in meaningful community worship in the chapel service. We are reach- ing the point where imagination and understanding are needed to proceed in plans either for a stan- dard chapel service form or for more use (monthly?) of drama, choral readings, dialogue sermons, etc. Perhaps in the last analysis “successful worship” is not some- thing which we “achieve” but something which is granted to us. Thus Interfaith needs to be an open group, constantly awake to the ultimate questions confronting us today. It can then be a vital center of religious thought on campus, in which the meeting with one another can stimulate and provide a means of expression for the individual experience which underlies all talk about “religion” —that confrontation with the Source of our Being, God.

But a religious service-which tries to of- : ‘fend no one—because the people who might attend it are of so many and divergent faiths, or have no belief at all—can serve the spiri- tual needs of no one. The most that Inter-Faith can expect to do in the way of satisfying anyone’s spiritual needs is to bring them in e oe Linda Davis Continued from Page 5, Col. 2 penings in bi-weekly open discus- sions of recent news.

The second area in which Al- liance could be strengthened toward fulfilling its goal is in the inter- relation of the clubs. I propose per- iodical meetings between the chairmen of the clubs and the Pre- sident of Alliance, cooperating to- wards a practicable and variegated policy of keeping the student body informed.

These people, nevertheless, may be—and probably are—con- cerned with social problems. To cultivate a deeper under- standing of the world in which we live I suggest that better use can be made of the experiences of those students who have worked in the various fields. I believe that there shouldbe an active plan whereby after working on some of these problems, students hold a panel dis- cussion in which the pros and cons of their experience be re- viewed. This should accomplish two things.

It would be better if elec- tions were postponed until fresh- men had the opportunity to attend three or four meetings. Alliance is dull. It has no crea- tive projects. One that might be enjoyable this coming fall would be the division of the members into Democratic and Republican Parties, which would then study their respective platforms. Each member would cover a_ specific policy such as foreign, farm, etc. We could begin by discussing points of divergence and converg- ence and their significance. It has been suggested that there is bet-: ter participation in activities at co-ed schools. Informal discussions. with groups from neighboring schools might be enjoyable as well. as informative.

As we grow older we will most like- ly be approached by many. of these and similar organizations for con- tributions of time and money. We would be able to approach these appeals with a greater sense of what each group does and why and thus direct our efforts with more wisdom. We have heard reiterated dozens of times the truism, “The world is getting smaller every day.” We, however, remain a part of it. There is an obvious necessity to appre- ciate the gamut of social varian- ces within it. This I feel could be accomplished through films, lec- tures, and studies on both the na- tional and internationa{ levels. I would like to see League meetings spiced by learning regional cus- toms, songs, and dances of this and other countries. An understanding of ‘the social world should include more than working to improve the conditions of less fortunates. This is’ important and cannot be neglected. But, on the other hand, with growing contact between all parts of the country and world, as well informed citizens we must have a deeper understanding both of those whom we are trying to help and those whom we are just trying to get along with.

What Inter-Faith can do depends very much on the attraction of a different kind of active member- ship: one with more varied points of view. By this I don’t mean rep- resentatives from more religious faiths but rather people who repre- sent different views on the ques- tion of religion itself. This includ- es the doubters, the liberals, and the undecided. I don’t mean to exclude those whose faith is certain but rather to bring them into discus- sion with these other people, that they may undergo a constant re- evaluation of their own ideas and attempt an understanding of oth- ers. You may emerge from such a discussion with your own faith stronger or weaker, or even more important you may receive new ideas on which to ponder. I feel that Inter-Faith meetings can provide something for a larger group if conducted differently. I also feel that we can get more and better speakers.
