ee pe ” “Youth Peace Corps ¢ VOL. XLIV—NO. 16 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1961 4) Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1961 PRICE 20 CENTS President Explains_Nat’l President McBride in her lec-; ture, Education, A New Frontier, discussed the program for Federal aid to Education, and revealed “hidden reefs” in its structure. The tenets of the bill as printed below in the New York Times concern a 5.6 billion dollar plan with three principal proposals: (1) A three-year program to provide $2.3 billion in grants to states for public elementary and secondary school educa- tion, The money could be used for con- struction or teachers’ salaries or both. (2) A_ five-year program to provide $2.7 billion in loans to colleges for con- struction. About half the loans would be for academic facilities and the rest for housing. (3) A five-year program to provide $576 million in grants for college schol- arships. The states would award the scholarships on a basis of academic abil- ity and financial need; the maximum award would be $1000 a year. President McBride discussed in - detail the housing program, the revision and extension of the Na- tional Defense Act and the schol- arship program. She found definite advantages in these ” proposals. ‘However, President McBride also found four difficulties which she termed “reefs.” The first _problem in the schol- arship program concerned religion and the constitutional right to give Federal air solely to public schools and not to parochial and private schools, The second prob- lem is the problem of race, Should segregated schools be given Fed- eral aid in spite of the Hannah Committee’s statement that segre- gated schools could not. receive aid? The two problems of race and religion ‘were “‘reefs” in that they were evident difficulties. The two other problems seen by President ‘McBride in the National Defense Education Act are, she feels, less noted at present. The third “reef” Public Responds With Great Vigor To Youth Abroad ' Tmmediately on the heels of the News’s March 1 editorial entitled Proposal” came an Executive Order from President Kennedy formally estab- lishing the agency with R, Sargent Shriver as director. The Presi- dent’s description of the Peace Corps answered many of the ques- tions posed ‘by the News, and agreed with us that selection must be painstaking, that training must be thorough and include study of language and customs, and that non-college graduates have a place in the program, On March 6 The New York Times mF reported in an article on youth re- action to the program that six Bryn Mawrters had already offer- ed to volunteer for the program. The Times included a quotation of cautious enthusiasm from the News’s editorial. Reaction at colleges and univer- sities throughout the United States has been enthusiastic, and has led the National Student Association to plan a National Conference on Youth Service Abroad, to be held March 28 through 31 in Washing- “ton, D. C., with the American” Uni- versity as host’ Says James C. Scott, International Affairs Vice - Education Aid Proposals is the possible inadequacy of the program itself. Even if the prob- lems of race and religion are re- solved, the ultimate adequacy of the program still remains to be tested. With certain adjustments, the program may work success- fully. It has been termed “not a erash program, but a cautious start.” The fourth difficulty seen by President McBride is the question of freedom from federal control. In former years many colleges and schools were wary of federal grants for improving teachers’ salaries; they have always looked to the government for research and build- ing grants because these are rel- atively ffee of any danger of con- trol. With the grants. for research and building, the government could posibly gain a certain degree of control over education. Is this legitimate? Would the government instead understand what the needs of the colleges are wtih regard to the nation? ‘Will the government ever truly understand the fears of the educaional community ? [President McBride ended by say- ing that the mounting needs for higher education financing can not ‘be met without some sort of fed- eral aid, Perhaps with a close understanding between educator and (Congress, these needs could be met with benefits for all concerned.

Eleven Bryn Mawr seniors were named; Elizabeth Anagnostakis (Classics); Robin Berman (Slavic Languages); Nancy Beyer (His- tory); Karen Black (Linguistics) ; Grace Booth (History); Melinda Flory (Physics); Jean Hebb (Phys- ics); Elizabeth Levering (Political Science); Jane Parry (English); Lois Potter (English); and Kath- erine Tiernan (Russian Studies). The fellowships cover the first year of graduate study and are meant to encourage newly-elected fellows to consider college teach- ing as a possible career. Nomina- tions for these highly-competitive awards are made by the students’ professors. Screening of the can- didates is done by fifteen regional committees drawn from the aca- demic profession. Winners were chosen from 10,453 nominees, representing a twenty- one per cent increase over last year and a five-fold increase since the program was expanded in 1957 by a $24,500,000 grant from the Ford Foundation. More than twen- ty-three fields of study, nearly all in the humanities and social sci- ences, are represented by this year’s winners. Those in mathe- matics and natural sciences repre- sent 15.9 per cent of the total, The winners, of whom 28.2 per cent are women, will be enrolled in ninety different graduate schools in this country and Canada. ? ! ~The Foundation accorded Honor-| able Mention to 1614 others.

They deserve commendation for their courage and qualifica- tions: Faith Halfter, Ruta Krastina, and Abby Wootton for . Self-Gov and Ellen Corcoran, Judy Samuelson, and Virginia Sitz for Undergrad. We hope that both the winners and the campus will remember that these people are notably qualified to aid in the work that will be done in the new year. Our horoscope predicts that ipso-facto-wise it should be a good one. Round One: Freshman Comp-Ageinst Freshman Comp is a much talked-about, little written- about subject. It is one of those horrifying experiences in life that defy the art of the denfiitive-statement maker. It is an experience that more than ninety-nine percent of the students survive. ‘lhe problem of the course is that of its value. Students survive the course, but do they profit from it? If English 15 were to make each student as verbally proficient as it intended, its value ond piace in the curriculum could not be disputed, but it is widely teit among the students that the course does not. acomplish this aim. Many reasons for this dissatistaction have been put forth in varying de- grees of blind fury, righteous indignation and conscientious consideration. : Every freshman class is comprised of students of. vary- ing backgrounds, capabilities and experiences, due to the in- creasing distinction in the curricula of secondary schools. As products of “specialized” or progressive schools, fresh- men may offer a primarily scientific background, a literary one or a traditional liberal one. Bryn Mawr recognizes ad- vanced placement in languages, history and more recently, science and math, but only in extra-exceptional cases does it acknowledge achivement in English. Hence an appreci- able number of competent students feel that the current Freshman Comp course is conducted on a level below theirs and is “a pure waste of time;” they desire a second semester exemption or an intensification of the program. Second, there is a difference in those faculty members who teach Freshman Comp; this difference is based on their approach to the subject matter and their students. Some of the instructors follow a conventional pattern in exposing the young minds in their command to the subtleties of litera- ture and composition; others try a more imaginative and in- dividual approach, often with results even more doubtful than usual. In the two class hours a week some emphasize the current reading fare by lecturing, discussing or grilling; others repeat once again the principles of. composition while a third group holds forth on amorphous sociologica. Lastly there is the attitude of the student as expressed in the procedure of writing. One quick glance around any dorm on the eve of a deadline is worth six tomes of inflamed debate on the Freshman Comp situation. . Have class, con- ference and past greetings of dawn only led once again to another midnight hair-pulling, Kent-incensed search for the topic sentence whom which all will flow swiftly and superbly to a conclusive conclusion? Under such pain and pressure how will anyone ever learn to write? The disparities in the incoming students’ abilities and in the instructors’ approaches to their course, the problem of what exactly English 15 is and the almost overwhelming dissatisfaction on the part of students with the course in its present form seem to necessitate a serious consideration of the course by the Curriculum Committee or a more effective “demonstration by the sufferers.

It is unfortun- ate that Mrs. Warfield, an author and pareht, was not present at the lecture ‘given by Dr. Franz- blau, M.D., psychiatrist, PhdD., Doctor of Divinity, author, and parent, For had she been in at- tendance she might have realized that Dr. Franzblau was not con- demning religion’s place in society. Rather he was attempting to show the different roles that psychiatry and religion assume; but, that de- spite the differences, they should supplement each other in guidiig the individual and helping him to attain an enriched, well adjusted, and adaptable life, i.e., a state of emotional maturity. It is also disconcerting to read such unfounded generalities as: “Psychiatry is a knife; religion is a torch,” “The great fact is that religion works and psychiatry does not”.—On what grounds do you base these statements?—on the Crusades, the Thirty Years’ War, the Nazi régime?—or on the ex- periences of the thousands of peo- ple who have had_ gratifying psycho-therapy ? Religion can help to open the “Divine Door’(?), But psychia- try can help us to understand what is behind that door and why we wanted to open it in the first place. Sincerely, Juliet Goodfriend 68 ‘Alice Longobardi ’68 Janice Richman ’62 Ed. notes The NEWS welcomes the idea of controversial topics for lectures and is glad to print varying opinions on them. It is especially important to ex- pose ourselves to viewpoints which seem strange and unten- able to us: because we don’t agree with them.

Juniors Evaluate College Education ‘Participating in the first annual scholarship day. of the Bethel Afri- can Mesthodist Episcopal Church in Ardmore, juniors Marion Coen and Pixie Schieffelin addressed the congregation March 12 on “The Values of Higher Education.” Speaking extemporaneously, the students discussed practical points on college entrance and opportun- ities for jobs after college, as well as the general merits of a college education. They emphasized the values of meeting people from all over the world and developing pre- viously unsuspected talents and interests. : The scholarship day, sponsored by a group of young people who have raised funds to send members of the congregation to college, fea- tured a number of speakers, read- ings. and musical renditions. The Bryn Mawr students enjoyed the social hour after the program-when they were able to talk with the other speakers, many of whom were from Africa. : ‘Commenting on the program, (Marion and Pixie said, “It was ex- citing to be able to share our views on education with others..who feel the way we do about it.

Mr. Cooper, a lecturer for the Courtauld Insti- tute for History of Art, will pre- sent in his talks at the college an historical analysis of cubism, Mr. Cooper has a personal acquaint- ance with many of the artists whose works he will discuss, and his own ‘art collection at his home in the south of France is extensive. Among his published works are books on Juan Gris, Toulouse-Lau- trec, Picasso, Van Gogh, Degas, Fernand Leger, and, most recent- ly, Graham Sutherland. Last spring he gave an informal lecture here on Picasso. Essence of Cubism In describing cubism, Mr. Coo- per has said: “The essence of cub- ist painting was distrust of ap- - pearance and a renewed assertion that the mind of.the artist was as important as his eye. More sig- nificant, however, was the rejec- tion ‘of the notion that a picture should be a mirror held up to Na- ture and the putting into practise of the new idea that a picture has a reality of its own and exists independently of but on equal terms with the reality ‘which our eye perceives. Such at any rate is the basis of true cubism.” Mr. Fowle related that Mr, Coo- per is particularly important as a scholar of cubism becaues of his friendship with the artists them- selves; others study cubism, but not from the viewopint of one who knows the artist as a person. Mr. Cooper’s “focus” will be “on the beginnings, and speedy growth of cubism to its fulfillment, passing on from there to consider many as- pects of its influence outside of France and up to 1 The topics for Mr. Cooper’s lec- tures are: 1).

No one really understands why Bryn Mawr bow- ed so readily to Rosemont (varsity 37-62; jv 26-48); it was just one of those proverbial “off-nights.” In addition, players’ nerves, unsteady at best, were effectively shattered by shrieking Rosemont spectators. The varsity’s loss to Swarthmore came as no sunprise—in fact, in view of the giant-size forwards confronting varsity guards, it was _ a minor success to lose by only 12 points (82-44)! The jv, meanwhile, beat the Garnet by a respectable 32-17. The swim team, in a tie with Swarthmore, captured 8rd place at the Intercollegiate meet held at Penn on Saturday, March 11.

Mary Flexner of Louisville, Ky. was a history and political science major in the years when every stu- dent had her own suite of rooms and was required to have a double major. After she graduated in 1895, Mary Flexner took her Mas- ter of Ants degree at Columbia University, and for twenty-five years was connected with such projects as the Henry Street Set- tlement and the Ethical Culture School. Mary Flexner In her later years, she was a close companion for her brother Bernard who lived in New York. Impressed by the education that his sister had received at Bryn Mawr, Bernard Flixener establish- ed in 1928 in honor of his sister the now famous Mary Flexner Lectures on the Humanities. The two specifications which he made concerning the lectures were that they exclude pure science, mathe- matics, and the social sciences, | and that the lecturer “be in resi- dence for the punpose of contact with the faculty and students.” J. H, Breasted was the first lec- turer in 1928-1929, and spoke on “The New €rusade.” ‘Whitehead, the philosopher, followed him with “The History of Ideas,” which was incorporated into his book Adven- tures of Ideas, In 1982-1983, Ralph Vaughan Williams came to speak on “Nationalism in Music.” Toynbee the historian spoke on “Encounters between Civilizations;” Erich Frank on “Philosophy and Relig- ion;” Henri Peyre on “The Con- temporary Novel in France;” and in 1960 Paul ‘Henry Lang gave a series of lectures under the title “Music and Christian Worship.” Movement Ideas For First Program (Dance Club’s first concert in sev- eral years will be given Monday, March 20, at. 8:30. p.m. in Roberts Hall, Haverford. The danger of splinters on Goodhart’s stage in- fluenced the dancers’ choice of Roberts Hall. Twenty-six Bryn Mawr girls and one Haverford stu- dent will take part in the concert. Mrs, Anne Carter Mason is the director; the stage manager is Les- lie Hartley. The dancers themselves wrote all the choreography for the first. half of the program. Nicole Schupf has choreographed a piece by Bar- tok; Mina Jahan and Barbara Hein have choreographed one of Stra- vinsky’s works. The Double Octet will provide the accompaniment for both dances. Several studies based on differ- ent relations in form and dynam- ics have grown out of work in “movement conversation.” These spontaneous dances, originally im- provisations, were “captured” one night for the concert. Other numbers, ranging in va- riety from modern ballet to panto- mime, include a lyric couplet bas- ed on Thornton Wilder’s play, Our Town; a satiric dance pantomime, “The Builder,” written by Mary Johnson; and a jazz suite consist- ing of three sharply contrasting types of jazz. The last dance, “Evolution of the Soul,” is an ex- perimental rendition of symbolic ideas. Laura Neilson, president of Dance Club, arranged an exchange workshop demonstration with Swarthmoré last fall. Dance Club plans to invite dancers from sever- al nearby colleges to another ex- change workshop later in the spring.

Professor Augusto Gansser, a noted geologist from the Univer- sity of Zurich, lectured in Park Hall on March 9 and 10 on two as- pects of tectonics—the study of mountain chains and of orogenic belts. (Mr. Gansser, sponsored by the Geologic Society of Philadelphia, spoke on March 9 on “The Tecton- ics of Mountain Ranges.” Concern- ed with a comparative analysis of the formation of mountain chains, he discussed four ranges of young, high mountains which offer well- exposed sections: the Andes, the Alps, the Himalayas, and the Iran- ian Range. These mountain chains, it can be seen, were formed in a similar way, each illustrating at present comparable structures. Each chain, especially that of the Andes, which exposes a complete mountain range, shows indication of a land barrier between the euge- osynclinal trough and the miogeo- synclina] trough on either side. In the Andes the central cordil- lera, part of the Sierra Nevada range, distinctly divides the , two troughs. The eugeosyncline, the original volcanic area of unstable, rapid metamorphism which led to sudden uplifting and folding, is in the west. The miogeosyncline, the more stable, gradually forming or- ogenic area, is in the east. In the Alps, which Mr, Gansser referred to as a “regrettable Acci- Lecture Explains Zen Discipline’s Flesh and Bones On Thursday, March 9, Interfaith presented a talk by Miss Beatrice “Yamasaki of the Philohophy De- partment on the nature of Zen Bud- dhism. The afiternoon program took place in the Interfaith read- ing room in Cartref, the building which also houses the Comptrol- ler’s Office. After briefly tracing the history of Buddhism and of the sect call- ed Zen, Miss Yamasaki explained that Zen Buddhists feel the human intellect to be inadequate for see- ing the essence of reality, There- fore they try to attain satori, non- rational, incommunicable enlighten- menit, by means of. a-~strict disci- pline which uses such techniques as the koan and mondo to arouse and maintain Zen consciousness in the mind of the student. Medita- tion on. these enigmatic statements and questions and answers may re- sult in a state of mind very recep- tive to the attainment of satori; after this final step the techniques may be cast aside. Affirmation of Life Miss Yamasaki emphasized the fact that satori does not imply a morbid outlook. It is a naturalis- tic affirmation of life, an author- itative experience which produces an entirely new point of view. She spoke of meeting the well- known Zen Buddhist Dr. Suzuki, whose combination of serenity and vitality struck her as expressive of the spirit of Zen. But she warn- ed that only the flesh and bones ef Zen, and never the marrow, can be communicated. Discussion after the talk brought out some details of the Zen disci- «-pline, raised the debatable question of whether Zen is a religion or a philosophy, and touched on the dif- ference between satori and the Buddhist nirvana, which is concern- ed with the life beyond rather than with this life.’ Miss Yamasaki spoke of the important influence of Zen on Japanese culture, and quoted some Zen stories, which she described as having “humor, gen- tleness, and human qualities.” She considered today’s beatniks, and expressed the view that they do ae seem disciplined _enough to en.: ADLUTeCO ic spi Ol.» dent in geology,” because of their complex nature, a similar division between the two areas also exists. There the eugeosyncline is found in the southeast, bordered by the central massif, on top of which are found miogeosynclinal sediments, } In the Himalayas, where Mr. Gansser had to disguise himself as a sheep-driving lama in order to collect rocks which are there con- sidered sacred, and in the Iranian Range as well, comparable divi- sions can be seen. On March 10 Mr, Gansser dis- cussed “Orogenic Belts and Ophio- lites.” Ophiolites, the first lavas and serpentines which appear at the base of a geosyncline, are bas- ic or ultra-basic rocks. Pre-oro- genic material, they are either ex- crusive or intrusive, being found in eugeosynclines or on marginal sides. Although comparatively lit- tle is known about them, as they have only recently been recogniz- ed, they are, Professor Gansser as- serted, distinguishable from other voleanic rocks, Ophiolites are re- lated. to deep-sea marine sedi- ments, whereas other igneous rocks, such as trap formations, con- tain plant fossils indicating their lack of similiarity with ophiolites. Exam Board Accelerates College-Choice Deadline; Affects Bryn Mawr Date Students applying for admission to any of twenty-four women’s colleges, including Bryn Mawr, in 1962 will follow a revised admis- sions procedure set out in a joint memorandum published last week. The change of the College Entrance Examination Board “reply date” (when the student. must inform the college of her decision on the ac- ceptance formerly sent out by the colleges by May 15) to May 1 ne- cessitates the shift in schedule. ‘Bryn Mawr will notify students of their acceptance or rejection by April 24.. This means that the achievement tests can no longer be taken in March of the senior year. Under the new plan the ap- titudé tests will be taken in De- cember and the achievement tests in January. The colleges will ac- cept some tests taken in May of the junior year, This system will leave more time for placing suc- cessfully all seniors who want to enter college. Students Debate On WIBG Radio Bannon Marbut and Carol Watts Parsons have been chosen to par- ticipate in WIBG’s program, Great Decisions: 1961. The topic to be discussed is “Blueprints for the World Economy.” Mr. Holland Hun- ter, Professor (Economics at Hav- erford, will be the guest speaker. The program, planned by Mr. Jerry Grove, will be broadcast on Sun- day, March 26, from 1:30 to 1:55 p.m. In preparation, Bannon and Ca- rol have been asked to read Rich Lands, Poor Lands. dnd Rostow’s Five Stages of Economic Growth. They and Mr. Hunter will discuss questions presented by the moder- ator, Mr. Harry Schaub. The ‘World Affairs Council has been Tring a series of pro- grams concerning various world problems. “‘Blueprints~ for the World Economy” is the eighth pro- gram in the series, and the first in which Bryn Mawr students have taken part.

RELIGIOUS ITEMS, TOO Kline Talk Sees “Marxists “Feuring Current Revisions “All philosophers with the ex- ception of Plato and Hegel’ have been revisionists,” explained Pro- fessor George Kline of the Bryn Mawr _ Philosophy Department, | Tuesday afternoon, in a lecture en- titled, “Current Revisions of Marx- ism.” Mr. Kline defined a revision- ist as one who, although not in political power, makes changes. Ac- ~tording to this definition, he feels it is possible to label many people revisionists who do not consider themselves as. such. “Revisionism is a specter haunt- ing the Communist world today.” fhe present Soviet leaders are irightened of it and, therefore, al- though not without some justifica- tion, they lump revisionism with “reactionary bourgeois philosophy.” Mr. Kline divided tthe revisionists into those who wish a _ political change and those who disagree with the philosophy. The political revisionists deny the orthodox ver- sion of the facts about capitalism and socialism. They want more economic, political and cultural cooperation with capitalist coun- tries and the peaceful develop- ment of capitalist into socialist systems. (Some even deny the alleg- ed monopoly of political skill and wisdom of the Communist Party and want a loyal opposition to “be iormed. This type of revisionism is found most frequently in Poland and Yugoslavia. Although not all political revi- sionists are interested in philoso- phy, by the nature of Marxism, all philosophic revisionists are inter- ested in politics. Marxism—is—es- pecially open to revision because it lacks an ethical system. At the turn of the century there was a first wave of revisionism that at- tempted to put the Kantian sys- tem of individual responsibility into the collective system. This was answered by a Nietzchean- Marxist revisionist mjiovement which denied individual obligation. The modern revisionists can be divided into three groups: . the Kantian -\Marxists who struggle with the real philosophic question and emphasize the individual; the Positivist-Marxists who are miost- ly Poles, and who try to retreat from speculative philosophy; and the Hegelian-Marxists who are the most orthodox, and who stress the historical view.
