Hindemith especially contributed by Suzanne Jones, °57 Saturday’s choral concert in Goodhart Hall, presented by the Bryn Mawr College Chorus and the Princeton University Chapel Choir, was designed to give visiting par- ents an idea of the work done by the Chorus during the year. The first .part of the program, performed by the Bryn Mawr Chorus under the directionof—Mr. Goodale, included selections famil- iar from Sunday night chapel serv- ices and the recent concert with Lehigh. Notable among these were three excerpts from Katherine D. Fisher’s cantata, “The Lamp on the Stream,” which saw its pre- miere performance here on March 5. Effectively and expressively sung, the group was both repre- sentative of the whole work and satisfying in itself. Church Music The Princeton Choir, under Dr. Carl Weinrich, presented a selec- tion of church music. The numbers were characterized by a wealth of harmonic and dynamic effect, car- ried out with sureness and control. The choruses were combined un- der Mr. Goodale’s direction to con- clude the program with three sec- tions from the requiem “For Those We Love,” Hindemith’s musical ': setting of “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d,” by Walt Whitman. The poem, written to commemo- rate the death of Abraham Lincoln, is both an elegiac representation of the country’s grief at the loss of its leader and a joyous song of praise for death, the “strong de- liveress.” Paul Hindemith, -who had taken refuge in this country from—the—-Nazi~regime; set the poem to. music in circumstances similar to those under which it was written—after the death of Frank- lin Roosevelt and the end of the Second World War—with the ob- ject of recreating in music the complex feeling of the words. Orchestra Lacking The excerpts as performed Sat- urday lacked the orchestral parts for which, along with those of chorus and soloists, the work was intended, but they were saved from any impression of incompleteness by the skill of Mr. Alwyne at the piano. The piano arrangement, far from being a simple accompani- ‘ment, demanded ‘a display of virtu- osity that would have been an achievement in itself, and Mr. Al- wyne not only overcame its diffi- ‘culties but made it an essential, expressive force in the perform- Continued on Page 6 Col. 3 Originality And Variety Are Found Present In Dance by Anna Kisselgoff, ’58 It was certainly a great pleasure to attend the:concert given by the Dance Club last Friday night. Combining freshness, enthusiasm, and originality, it served to prove that Bryn Mawr’s creative instincts are not as dormant as they seem to be. A well-chosen program was largely responsible for this. The first half consisted of folk dances. The first of these was a Hungarian dance “Verbunkos,” described in the program as a dance which was “used to recruit soldiers into the army”. Accordingly, the members of the Dance Club marched on stage in a well regimented forma- tion, clad in bright colored jackets and helmets, and black leotards} and tights. Leora Luders, costume director, is to be commended for the good use she made of the basic leotards. The “Verbunkos”, with its kicks and stamps, consisted mainly of basic character dance steps, which were performed rather well. The second dance, the Hungar- ian “Ritka Buza”, was. brief but charming. Fortunately, the daxc- ers. made good use of their facial expressions, since it wotid be auite R easy for a traditional dance of this type to become stilted.~~ | The third number, “Of Palestine,” alternated the traditional Palestin- ian dances, “Hora and Mayim,” with the Hora being danced twice, and the Mayim between the two Horas, Re _ Hank Dane, of Haverford, prov- ed an able accompanist on the ban- jo. ny The next dance, “La Jota”, Span- ish peasant dance, was not as well executed.as the previous ones, The line formations seemed to be hard] Club’s Concert to keep, and the “feeling” for the dance did not come out too well. | However, this is a defect found, even among many professional dancers, who, if they are not Span- ish, find that type of dancing ex- tremly hard to do. The last folk dance “Of the U. S.”, was a pleasure to watch. Dressed in straw hats, jeans or | bright skirts, the dancers execut- ed theatrical variations of basic square dance steps, employing reg- ular square dance formations. This was a fast moving dance where the dancers were visibly enjoying themselves. It was a number mark- ed by lively dancing and lively mu- sic, provided by Hank Dane and Bob Benjamin. With the exception of the last dance which was arranged by Dina Bikerman, all the folk dances were directed by Mrs. Yolanda Brutten. The second part of the program, which was devoted to modern dance, started off quite well with Leora Luders dancing in her own “Indecision”. By ‘synchronizing her body and facial expressions perfectly, Leora demonstrated that she was an excellent mime with a flair for the comic. The next number, “Love Per- haps, or a Baby Bird,” was an in- terpretation of an original poem. by Anne Mazick, performed by Anne, Violet Shaw, and Dina Bik- erman. This was an ambitious work, but because of the reliance upon gestures and voice, it can riot be classed in the strict dance cate- gory. ‘Mary Vorys’ dance, “Scarf,”-per- formed by herself and Wendy Kap- lan, was danced without music. It was a well-thought-out piece of choreography, centered about the Continued on Page 5, Col. 6 Of Soph’s Carnival “County Fair” will be the theme of the Sophomore Carnival, Bobbie | Burrows and Gwen Garland, car- nival co-chairmen, recently an- nounced.

Overcome by remorse and ‘afraid of Julie’s anger, Billy stabs Maids & Porters One of the most exciting of this 'weekend’s events will be the pres- entation of Carousel by the maids | and porters. The show, adapted from Ferenc Molnar’s Liliom, has been cut slightly, but all of the plot and most of the details of the ‘original remain. - The story concerns a mill girl, Julie, who falls in love with Billy Bigelow, the barker at a carousel, ‘Although he has recently lost his ‘job, they marry. When he discov- ers that she is going to have a ‘baby, he still has no job. In desperation, Billy accepts the ‘proposition of his evil friend, Jig- ger, to hold up the mill owner while he is on his way to deliver the payroll to a ship captain. The mill owner, however, protects him- self from the two with his gun; Jigger escapes and is never seen himself. Thru Backgate The next scene is in heaven: Billy has been let in, but only through the back gate. He is told by the friendly starkeeper that he has one chance to atone for his sins by doing something good for someone on earth. Billy comes to earth, where he sees his daughter, Louise, now fif- teen years old. He tries to make her a present of a star, but be- comes angry when she refuses the strange gift, and slaps her, thus ruining one chance to redeem him- self. But his time isn’t up yet; he goes to Louise’s high school grad- uation, where ‘the preacher is speaking on the cruelty ‘of hatred. Give ‘Carousel’. Adaptation of F. Molnar’s ‘Liliom’ (He is referring to Louise, who is shunned by her friends because her father was a robber.) The entrance of Billy, now in- visible, and Julie, who realizes who has offered the star to her daugh- ter, and the closing song, “You'll Never Walk Alone,” end the show on a wistfully happy note. Arts Night Offers = Sartre’s “No Exit” 8:13 p.m. on Friday, April 22, was selected as the most-propitious moment to raise the curtain on Arts Night. The program offers a sampling of Bryn Mawr talent in music, dance, painting and drama, , all for five dimes or the equivalent. It will take place in Skinner Work- shop. An assortment of ballads will be sung by Chris Flint who will ac- company herself on her autoharp. There will be two dance numbers: “Shattered Image” with choreogra- phy and dancing by Dina Bikerman and Violet Shaw and an amusing solo by Leora Luders. Art Exhibit Art in the form of drawings and paintings, can be seen during in- termission. The second half of the program will be a reading from Jean-Paul Sartre’s, No Exit. The play deals with the “hell” which faces a man, a nymphomaniac and a lesbian. Mary Darling will direct the reading. Fritz Janschka will su- pervise the decor, and Ann Brit- tain will arrange the art exhibit. Tam Birchfield and Ann Morris are chairmen of Arts Night. Revisions Of College Election System — Discussed During Legislature Session ~__ At an open college legislature meeting on Wednesday, April 13, students discussed possible altera- tions in the present college election system.

To be’ eligible for an office a_ student would have to secure twenty-five names on her petition.. Either the gir] desiring. to run for office or a friend could start the petition. Signing the petition would mean an endorsement of the candidate. A student could endorse only one candidate for each office. ~The — organization bdéard ~ for which the candidate was running would then make up a list of ques- tions to be presented to her. Her answers, petition and a list of her activities would then be publish- ed, through the hall, the College News, or class meetings. A col- lege assembly, with presidential candidates speaking in their own behalf, could also be held. Narrowing would be done through that the additional work involved in running would mean that fewer and more interested people would run, Voting would be done through’ the halls. Students would not be forced to vote, but could abstain. Potts Presents Idea Nancy Potts suggested a system would be the machine through which the college would learn about the candidates and would vote; The Newg would print a special election issue, publishing the lists of candidates which were previously submitted to the News through the organization boards or whatever method was consider- ed best. It would also print state- ments by the candidates and their pictures. The next week’s issue would in- clude ballots, through which stu- dents would vote for candidates for all offices. The News would either announce these as soon as votes were tabulated, or would print the winners in the next week’s issue. At the meeting the questions of the desirability of complete college elections and of ipso facto mem- bership were also brought up. ‘Miss Robbins will speak on Sir Winston Churchill in Cur- rent Events this Monday. 7:15 Common Room Innieoneninmrestinnemenenengite oe.’ .» Page Two THE COLLEGE NEWS — THE COLLEGE NEWS FOUNDED IN 1914 Published weekly bag be the College Year” (except during Thankegtving; Christmas and Easter holidays, and during examination weeks) in the interest of Bryn Mawr College at the Ardmore Printing Company, Ardmore, Pa.,.and B Mawr Gores.

Universal Suffrage “They aré entirely responsible for the Freshman Week program “and we think it goes very well,” said-Miss-McBride -in«substance in her speech on Parents Day. Students ‘who read each year with interest and complete surprise the “elec- tion” of the head of Freshman Week are a little confused as to how far this responsibility extends. The fact is that the student who heads this very important committee that gives incoming freshmen their first glimpse of Bryn Mawr is elect-. ed by quite devious means. Undergraduate board brings up and discusses the names of likely candidates and narrows them to four. These four, who have been evaluated by the administration, are then voted on by Undergraduate Council —that is by part of Undergraduate Council, the heads of the Big Five organizations. This means that four, or sometimes three, students can determine who is going to head the Fresh- man Week Committee. We believe this official should be a representative of the whole student body. We realize*the importance of this posi- tion, and the fact that it is necessary that the student work well with the incoming freshmen, parents, and the admin- istration. At the same time, we believe that a student body capable of electing the President of Self-Government ought to be capable of electing a person for this office. We feel that the election for the head of Freshman Week Committee ought to be included in class elections in the spring, with nominating, narrowing, and electing carried on in the same manner as for all other class officials. Not only is this the only democratic way to choose a person for a job that is held to belong primarily to the students, but it would help to arouse interest in that somewhat vague and uncertain period which covers the first few days before upperclassmen return. This is not only a problem in itself, but it raises the ques- tion as to the election of other of the lesser-publicized but vitally important jobs on campus. How many other elections, we wonder, are held by a few students in important offices, and then announced to the college as a democratic decision by the student body? Dramatic Reading s Are Well Received Judging by the size and enthusi- asm of the audiences, the three? The eleven Russian student edi- dramatic readings from Milton’s; Paradise Lost were definitely suc- cessful. The reading, taken from ‘several books of the work, is known as “The Fall of Man.” _ The part of Adam was played by Ken Geist; Eve, by Erica Lann, and Satan, by Bill Tyson. Mr. Frank Quinn, professor Sf English at Haverford, directed the group. _For_ the first performance — at ee ” ‘Haverford, on March 13, Mr. Quinn acted as narrator. At the follow- ing presentations, April 12 and 14, at Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore, the narrator was Larry Hartmann. Because of the interest shown in| Michigar this type of dramatic production, the reading will be re- ape re sien te A Oe Russians Decline Digit-Prints, Visit tors who were to have visited the United States this spring have cancelled their trip.

Al- though I apologize for any statis- tical incompetence in correlating them, I think they will be of in- terest to the campus. The total response was 49% of the campus (figured on finding list~figures), somewhat less than what we hop- ed for; particularly in the fresh- man class. The 49% breaks down per class as follows: Seniors 46.2% Juniors 55.7% Sophomores 51.9% Freshmen 40.4% Committee Formed By Helen-Louise Simpson and Kit Masella are heading a committee to correlate the suggestions given in the questionnaire.

It is here especially, because of the size of such classes, that discussion becomes undesirable, as the major- ity of students can neither partici- pate in nor profit from them. There is an unquestionable tendency for a very few individuals to dominate these discussions, often with points irrelevant to the aims of the course or pertinent only to personal in- terests. ' Consequently much time which might otherwise be devoted to valuable lecture is wasted. Although discussion may prove extremely worthwhile in stimulat- ing constructive thought, this is rarely the case except in small and advanced groups. In introductory courses, where only a few have more than superficial knowledge of the material, it should be the task of the professor exclusively to en- lighten the students (with all due ‘ | respect to our contemporaries). Students Say Discussion In Survey Courses Is Often Irrelevant, Wastes Lecture Time Relevant questions—whether posed by professors or students—are val- uable, but the professor should not be reduced to a mere arbitrator against his wishes. As the Current Events panel on The Value of Bryn Mawr’s Educa- tion revealed, there is widespread desire for increased class discus- sion. We hope that these ideas will not materialize to the extent that the purpose of the meeting of the class and the role of the professor will become meaningless.

Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary was published on April 15, 1755, not 1775 as re- ported. A panel discussion on “A Criti- cation” proved the basis for an Room. Mr. Bachrach attacked the issue from the standpoint of good and tem. Among the former he num- bered academic freedom in prac- tice as well as in thought, intellec- tual atmosphere and small classes. He saw as the principal weakness- es the passive role which the stu- dent plays, and an over-emphasis of the weight of authority which is not conducive to individual thought. He felt a number of students leave Bryn Mawr “intellectually passive and submissive.” To avoid this, he advocated emphasis on training for critical thought and a ‘willingness to experiment; even-at the expense of the quantity of knowledge absorbed. Two signal points were iacensain out by Mr. Leblanc. He first “de- plored the tragic gap between the | sciences and the humanities,” feel- -| ing that exclusive training in eith-| 0 er field cannot lead to a real edu-,, cation.

Stifler Announces Campus Answers To Election Questionnaire : se Actors Describe Work In Experimental Drama To the Editor: In last week’s College News Linda Levitt echoed the plea for “a drama workshop, a class in which techniques of acting or. di- recting could be learned as taught by people with background in the theater.” We are happy to tell Miss Levitt and her readers that such a group is now in existence on an experi- mental basis. Since last month a small group of students from both colleges have been meeting Tues- day nights in Skinner to work on technique. This year’s efforts have been of a trial nature, in prepara- tion for more extensive operations in the fall. We hope that interest- ed students will get in touch with the undersigned, so they may share in our plans for the future. Unfortunately, neither of us has a very extensive “background in the theater,” although we have both been associated with the Col- lege Theater for years. Still, there are the books by Russian authors to look to, as well as help from outsiders who are connected more intimately with the stage. In par- ticular, we would mention Miss Claudia Franck, a drama consult- ant from New York, who will b visiting this spring and whose re- marks connecting training in act- ing with undergraduate life should prove both enlightening and sur- prising. The time of her visit will ~ be published shortly with an invi- tation to the whole college com- munity to attend. i Yours truly, ~ Liz Gordon Gerald Goodman. “Menagerie” Cast Begins Rehearsals The cast for Tennessee Williams’ Glass Menagerie, to be given by the Bryn Mawr College Theatre and the Haverford College Drama Club on May 5 and 6, has been selected.

The small-scale ones should be learned before en- tering college; large-scale practi- calities should be our concern while at Bryn Mawr. Whereas Mr. Leblanc suggested a five-course plan of study after _ the freshman year as a possible so- lution to bridging the science-hu- manities gap, junior Gail Ames ad- vocated taking five courses during the first two years. She felt this would be profitable during the be- ginning survey courses. Noting that one can’t disagree with a pro- fessor if one doesn’t have a con> siderable foundation of knowledge, she suggested abolishing.some re- quirements, taking more courses allied with one’s major, and there- by preparing to reach some real |: in required courses stressing facts conclusions, especially during the last two years. | Senior Charlotte Busse noted that one is very liable at some times to, become dissatisfied with the c set-up, and overwhelm- ed Ay the amount of knowledge feels one lacks.

Sarah Stifler proceeded to “de- fend the requirements, but from a radical ‘viewpoint.” She wanted during the first two years, with in- creased experimentation.

Dean Dorothy N. Marshall open- ed the discussion with* some gen- eral information about the plan of study at Bryn Mawr. The courses, she said, include three types: those required for the A.B. degree, those taken in the major field, and a few free electives. Two main subjects of contro- versy regarding the course of. study are #he direction of study, “from the specific to the general,” and the unusually large number of courses required in most major fields. Anne Haywood, a chemistry ma- jor, discussed the controversy over the number of courses taken each year. She said, in her opinion, the specialization resulting from the heavy major led to greater co-ordi- nation among all subjects. Habits of Thinking, Professor Walter C. ichels spoke in defense of Pe gon major. The main purpose of a col- lege education, he said, must be to learn habits of thinking, and we cannot do this through superfiicial thinking. He told of one physics major who had asked him what he ex- pected of his students after four years of physics. His reply was that a great deal of detailed infor- mation was needed for the final ex- aminations, but that any course of study, primarily, should enable a} student to recognize the nature of | opments. a logical argument, and to read a book. Teaching And Research Most Valuable Combined Teaching and research have al- ways been carried on simultane- ously by the Bryn Mawr faculty. ‘A panel discussion led by Mrs. Manning and participated in by Mr. Berry, ‘Dean Bliss of the grad- uate school, and Miss Lang consid- ered the value of this two-fold ac- tivity for student and teacher. M. Carey Thomas, Mrs. Manning reported, had two aims in mind in founding the college: to make Bryn Mawr better than Harvard, and to choose the faculty on the basis of their academic calibre and not on their personal charm or wit,(To do this with no money she would stay up late reading the theses of “red-hot Ph.D.’s so that she could get them young and cheap’). The result was a combin- ation of teaching and individual scholarship from the faculty, en- couraged by the college. The contribution of this research to Bryn Mawr was discussed by Dean Bliss specifically relating to the graduate school, and by the other two professors in relation to their personal attempts to inte- grate teaching and reséarch. Dean Bliss feels that the one- fifth of the student body which makes up the graduate school has always made a valuable contriqu- tion to the education of the unde graduate at Bryn Mawr. se graduate students. have a strong influence on the calibre of teach- ing, not only because the faculty likes teaching students with a sin- gle-minded interest in their fields, but because it keeps them on their toes and abreast_of current devel- a Secondly, the extra facilities re- quired for the academic work ‘of Judith Catlin, a Russian major, the graduate students add to the brought out that some students re- equipment of the rest of the Col- gretted the lack of an “area stud- lege.

Aid For Freedom, Individualism © As part of the Parents’ Day pro- gram, Mr. Dudden spoke on “Woodrow Wilson and the Progres- sive Era.” The Progressive move- ment grew out of the feeling of the people that the “new America was somehow short-changing the old ideals of American democracy.” Farmers’ problems, monopolies and trusts, slums, wages and hours dis- putes and government corruption caused this feeling. The old idea of liberalism meant “hands off of private property,” and in the Jeffersonian sense was equated with the idea of the least possible government. Progressives felt that this was no good for the 20th century. One must make use of the democratic machinery to|. achieve freedom and individualism. The question was, how far can this go before socialism begins? ‘Writers and Movements Early Progressives were mainly writers, who investigated and de- scribed corruption in industry and government. Also important were the Granger movement, Knights of Labor, and Populist Party. The movement, which began on a local level, “percolated upward” to the national level and was bi-partisan. While Teddy Roosevelt, the pro- gressive, was engaged in trust- busting activities around 1905, Woodrow Wilson, the liberal, was still in the midst of his academic career. Of his stay at Bryn Mawr, he said that teaching women “re- laxes one’s mental muscle.” In 1910 Wilson became governor of New Jersey, the most corrupt state in the Union at that time, and cleaned up the government. This immediately made him a leading contender for the presidency. ' Moved-“The Minds of Men” In 1912 Taft was up for re-elec- tion on the Republican ticket; Roosevelt, advocating a “new na- tionalism,” was backed by a pro- gressive splinter of the Republic- ans; the Socialists nominated Eu- gene Debs; and the Democrats put up Wilson on a™‘new freedom” platform. Wilson,\who had ‘an “astonishing power tg move the minds of men,” won the\election. This first administratidn was de- voted to internal improvements. The tariff was lowered,. and the Federal Reserve system and Clay- ton Anti-Trust-Act-were instituted.) By 1916, Wilson was running on a slogan of “He kept us out of war,” and the issue was neutrality, not progressivism. The imminence of our entrance into the war ended the Progressive movement for the time being, However, the era left behind the idea of the strong ex- ecutive and the paternalistic pro- gram of a welfare state. The new freedom for the individual had be- come strangely like Roosevelt’s new nationalism. - ‘according to “Weezie” About 225 parents attended Bryn Mawr’s second Parents Day, Simpson, | chairman of the Parents Day Com-' mittee. Of these, most came from the East Coast, with about two- thirds from New York. The general feeling seems to be that Parents Day was a great suc- cess. “The high point of the day was definitely the afternoon ses- sions”, explained Weezie, and it is thought that perhaps next time there might be opportunities to go to more sessions. Weezie noted that she and Mrs. Paul were quite pleased with the number of students working on Parents Day, altogether between 100 and 150. She also wants to thank the faculty committee. mem- bers, Mr. Green, Miss Mellink and Mr. Michels, and the faculty mem- bers who were willing to give a “Saturday lecture’. The only catastrophe of the day was the serving of “salt instead of | iene in the Deanery tea.” “Turning to the student ‘as an adult person who should be learn- ing to make her own decisions,” was the theme when President Katharine McBride spoke to the parents at 12:00 p.m. in Goodhart. She explained “why we do- what we do.” Academically, perhaps the stu- dent should have all the independ- ence she can take. A professor will tell her when he thinks a project will lead to a dead end, but let her make the choice and help her with what she chooses. This may mean that..a-professor-is--working on-as many projects as he has students. “Nothing is so demanding of fac- ulty time,” said Miss McBride who considers this policy “wel worth- while.” In addition, faculty members also work on their own research. Climate Change Explains Collapse Of Some Mediterranean Civilizations The profound, but often neglect- } present excavations may show ed, influence of climate upon civi- lization was the central theme of “Climate and Civilization”, a Par- ents’ Day lecture by Dr. Rhys Car- penter in Dalton Hall. Dr. Carpenter cited three “aston- ishingly heavy effects” of climate on comparatively modern civiliza- tions: 1) The dust bowl of the Southwestern United States; 2) the glaciation of Iceland, which did not have ice when it was discover- ed; and 3) the glaciation of Green- land, which drove out a Norse col- ony, and which is now receding. However, Dr .Carpenter showed the relationship between climate and civilization most extensively in the Mediterranean region, for whith he has developed a new theory not yet accepted by his archaeological colleagues, | Today there is no rain in the Eastern Mediterranean region dur- | ing the summer, although it does rain during the winter. This con- dition results from the same cause as the lack of rain in the Sahara desert: the action of the air and winds which rise from the Equator. In effect, the Sahara desert moves up into the region of eastern Greece during the summer, and the land is terribly arid. The cause of the former lush- ness in desert regions, Dr. Carpen- ter attributes to the ice sheets during the Ice Age. As they moved south, they pushed the temperate climactic belt south until it reach- ed the present Sahara _ region. Then, as the ice retreated, the rain- | bearing climactic belt moved north, and the civilization was de- stroyed. However, “it is possible to imag- ine” that even more ice melted. This, said Dr. Carpenter, “ought to make more Sahara” over southern Europe, and this assumption seems true as evidence indicates that in 5000 B.C. southern Europe was warmer than it is now. constant? questioned Dr. Carpen- ter. Although scientists do not know“if climate is cyclic, there is further evidence of the similar in- fluence of climate on civilization in the Mediterranean. For instance, in 1200 B.C. the great civiilzation of the Greeks and the Hittites in the Eastern Mediterranean collapsed suddenly. Dr. Carpenter listed and discarded the possible reasons for this col- lapse: “Political reasons ae de Is this profound climactic change’ barbarians destroyed the Hittite empire) don’t hitch up to the facts, economic explanations don’t make sense.” Moreover, Dr. Carpenter went on, the plague doesn’t seem to be the answer, Thus he has concluded that drought brought about by climactic change, struck the region and the people-were forced to de- sert it suddenly, ruining their civi- lization. The climate’ may have led to the disintegration of the Ro- man Empire, also. For as polar ice melts, the waters of the Medi- terranean rise, and this exerts such an influence upon the climate that drought conditions result. In 600 A.D., as in 1200 B.C., these high water and drought conditions were present, and in 600 A. D., the weak- ened Roman Empire began to col- lapse. This gives. the professor a “knowl- edge of what is possible in advanc- ing fields of study not available in any other way.” Policy making and operations re- lating to social life are shared by the College staff and_ Self-Gov. Deans and wardens along with spe- cialists, including physicians, psy- chologists and vocational advisors, know the student well enough to help her when she needs it, wheth- er she is aware of the need or not. “Selected Group” Self-Gov. is successful._because the students are “a pretty highly selected group” and “enough stu- dents care” to make it work well. “We talk with them and offer suggestions,’ said Miss McBride. “Often enough I find the student proposal was the better,” she con- tinued. “Their knowledge of their own group. is closer and more ac- curate than mine.” Bryn Mawr’s students run many college activities, including some managed by staff officers in other colleges. They are entirely re- sponsible for the Freshman Week program “and we think it goes very Well.” In (addition there are activities like current events and_ sports. Some students participate in many of these. A few join none. “My own theory,” said Miss McBride, ‘fs that each student should be in- terested and active in oné” Respect Strong Bryn Mawvr’s relation to its stu- dents is one of “respect, ‘‘note- worthy here... because it is so strong.” The second aspect of the relationship is high expecta- tion. M. Carey Thomas realized that this spurs the student to high achievement before psychologists advanced the theory. Her view was that the students wanted not ° the easiest but the best. Joseph C. Sloane Discusses Manet, Pivotal Figur The sample Parents’ Day lecture in History of Art given by Dr. Sloane, concerned Manet, “one of the most pivotal figures in modern art”. Before embarking upon the theme of the lecture, “Manet and His Critics”, Dr. Sloane offered some background information. The middle part of the 19th cen- tury had seen painting dominated by the two schools of Ingres and Delacroix. Both these artists were what could be called “history paint- ers”, They took their subjects from the Bible, antiquity, mythol- ogy, employing no modern ones. However, as art came more and more into the possession of a mid- dle class not well versed in artis- tic values, these “antiquity paint- ers” were soon found to be out of touch with the times. The problem thus. created was how to adjust art to the rapidly changing demands of society. “Ina way, the first solution was provided by the reaiist, Courbet, who eventually made the gallery goers realize that what was im- portant was not what the picture was about, but how it was handled. In this realm excelled Manet, who inherited the -avant-garde leadership from Courbet. Manet favored realism, but not dramatic pictures. For him, a painting was not an interpretation of human ac- tion, but simply “art for art’s sake”, e In Modern Painting If Manet painted a dead bull fighter, he did not wish people to wonder what -had happened. For Manet there was no story. This was simplywa man in bullfighter’s clothes, lying prostrate upon the ground. The important point in Manet’s art was what it was, “in and out of itself, and not what it told about people”. An incident caused. by Manet’s “art for art’s sake” was the ban- ning of his painting of the execu- tion by Mexican troops of the French - installed puppet - emperor, Maximililan. Manet, as always, not caring for the story behind a pic- ture, had used soldiers wearing French uniforms as models, thus depicting French soldiers execut- ing Maximillian. The French gov- ernment, feeling itself largely re- sponsible for Maximillian’s death, felt that Manet deli ed a French firing squad and not a Mexican one, thus implying that the French had caused the emper- or’s death. : Manet considered a work of art as a “thing to be-vatued for what is in it and not outside of it”. He was a “modern” because he was “one of the first to throw subject matter overboard”. Like many of those who are the first to point the way in a new direction, he suffered greatly; in his case, at the hands of the critics and the public. rately show-. .

Hoyt’ s Demonstration _ Demonstrations showing that water, sound and light acted in waves were the focus of Miss Ros- alie C. Hoyt’s lecture on Ripples, Waves, and Light. Using ‘some equipment including a T.V. set borrowed for the occa- sion, she explained the general principle of interference of waves or ripples (little waves) and kept her promise “not to write any mathematical formulae on_ the blackboard.” Ripples started by a paddle in a dish of water appeared as straight lines on the TV screen. When the ripples hit a brass plate with one notch, the patterh™became a series of -arcs like the ripples after—a stone has been thrown into water. A plate with two notches gave a pattern which looked like inter- rupted length-wise halves of figure eights. Each notch was causing a series of arcs and the interruptions were flat--places -which~ resulted when a wave from one notch met a trough from another. This is call- ed interference. In other places, two waves form. ed an extra-high wave and two troughs formed a doubly deep trough. This is called reinforce- ment. Because sound and light also exhibit reinforcement and in- terference they are thought to move in waves. A high-pitched sound was beam- ed toward a plate with two rec- ESPADRILLES Criss-Cross Straw-Soled Bath Slippers $1.50 at the MEXICAN SHOP Bryn Mawr, Pa. tangular holes in it. An “applause” meter registered several changes from maximum to minimum vol- ume as the microphone was moved in an are toward one end of the plate. The minima were at places where the waves from each hole interfered with each other. When the holes were closer together or when the pitch was lower there were fewer fluctuations .

From her archaeological work and the greater knowledge it gives her of Greece two thousand years ago, Miss Lang can convey something more of Greece than is given in the textbooks. The question, “what is good teaching?” was then brought up by Mrs. Manning for general dis- cussion among the panel and the parents. The first general state- ment given is that good teaching arouses enthusiasm for the sub- ject, which must be combined with clarity of thought which is imbed- ded in intellectual discipline. In answer to Miss Lang’s question, “ Are students good judges of teachers?”, it was the consensus of the people on the panel that they are not, Mrs. Manning added that the stu- dent was distressed to get two or three points of view and have to choose himself, Part of the job of teaching is to make students real- ize, exams notwithstanding, that there is no clear cut “yes” or “no” answer to every question.

De Castro was statesman and knight of the Renaissance whose escapades not only took him through numerous wars in India, but. included a daring voyage up the Red Sea into the inner sanc- tum of Moslem territory and a trip up Mount Sinai. Mae The second Portuguese, Fernao Mendes Pinto, is known as a fa- mous adventurer and ‘an unmiti- gated prevaricator. His autobiog- raphy combined in all imaginative sincerity everything he heard, read and saw during a career which be- gan with travels in Abyssinnia, in- cluded capture, sale and several escapes from Turkish slavery, and ended with settled life in Portugal where he told his tales to a fasci- nated audience that included King Philip of Spain. In his varied career he was re- sponsible for the opening of Indo- China to European trade, was shipwrecked after looting Chinese tombs, sent to work on the China Wall after arrest on:a vagrancy charge, served for a time as a Jes- uit novice, and is even said to have introduced the musket to Japan.

Alice Lattimore’s variation was a highlight, “Shatteréd Mirror” employed the mirror theme in which two separ- ate dancers perform the same movements but with opposite arms or legs. When the “mirror” was “shattered”, the two figures turn- ed to their own independent move- ments, but still conserved a corres- ponding “oppositeness”, in that they were always directly across from each other.
