_ fundamental differences. VOL. XLVI—NO. 4 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1960 © Trustees of Bryn Muwr College, 1960 PRICE 20 CENTS Mme. Jambor And String Quartet Join In Memorial Concert for President Park by Kristine Gilmartin Marion Edwards Park, President of Bryn Mawr from 1922-1942, could have had no lovelier tribute |: than the concert in her memory given by the Curtis String Quar- tet ‘with pianist Agi Jambor, yes- terday evening in Goodhart, The program and performances were outstanding. The audience rose as Mme. Jam- bor began the concert with a Bach Chorale. Her absolute clarity and delicacy of expression made this the epitome of serene simplicity. Beethoven’s Quartet in B flat Major, one of the later ones writ- ten after the Ninth Symphony, was a tremendously moving ex- perience which left the audience limp after its exhausting intensity. rlOando Cole, the cellist, explain- ed that the quartet would play the work not as Beethoven wrote it, but as he had ‘first intended to write it, with the magnificent “Grosse Fugue” as the conclusion. The first movement was one of contrast and conflict, now tender, now agitated. Questions were rais- ed here that were not solved until the concluding fugue: ‘The second, which has been described as “open war”, brought swift responses in anger from the several instru- ments. The third was quieter ,with a melody led by the first violin (so excellently done throughout by Jasha Brodsky) and some deep and harmonious pizzacato sections. movement agaim but much tem- pered. . The “‘Cavatine”, called the most/compassionate music Beeth- ever wrote, was tenderly and werfully played by the entire roup: Mr. Brodsky, Mehli Mehta, Max Aronoff, ad Mr. (Cole. The came the “Grosse Fugue”’— a shock at first, always powerful, and almost frighteningly. intense. “Beethoven snapped his fingers at the world,” ‘Mr. (Cole quoted Chopin about this truly modern piece of music with a message to convey beyond mere beauty. The power and perfection of the Beethoven could” not~be_equalled, but the Shubert Quintetin A. Op. 114, “‘Forellen” was wholly de- lightful and restored the listeners’ equilibrium after the overwhelm- ing experience of the Quartet’s “Grosse Fugue”. The flowing mel- odies enhanced by the superb blending of instruments (bass, Stuart Sankey, and piano, Mme. Jambor, now added) created the pastoral, stream-like atmosphere at once. The “Theme and Variations” section ‘is well known and had every bit of its proper vivacity and love of life. The Quintet sent the delighted audience smiling home. This concert, Bryn Mawr’s trib- ute to Marion ‘Edwards Park, was truly impressive and shofld be long remembered. Bachrach Analyzes Coming Election; Discusses Issues Sunday For SCM (Mr. Peter Bachrach spoke to the Student Christian Movement last Sunday at-the.Lower Merion Bap- tist Church on “The Meaning of the Coming Election.” “Actually,” Mr. Bachrach explained, “we pick- ed that title so I could talk about anything I want, and that’s what I’m going to do!” “What is a rational approach to selection?” he asked. In consider- ing the peace issue, shall we ask ourselves, “which candidate and party will keep us out of war?” or “which will contribute most to The war appeared in the fourth world peace?” Tillich Probes Religious Ideas Present In East Mr. Paul Tillich, one of the world’s most distinguished theo- logians, delineated and evaluated “The Religious Encounter of Hast and West” for the first of Inter- faith’s once-a-month lecture ser- ies, Friday evening, October 21, in Goodhart Hall. The technical unity of our world has made permanent what were previously only brief encounters through trade or conquest. They are already a little more than mere meetings; we are in an interest- ing intermediate stage. As an ex- ample, Mr; Tillich mentioned the popularity of American jazz rec- ords in the African desert. But all the technical, political, and cul- tural encounters spring from an ultimate spiritual source. Indirect Encounters Of course. there were always mis- sionary activities by Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, but there were other indirect encounters which were more significant, To define East and West more clearly, Mr. Tillich differentiated between “Israel+born religions”: Christian- ity, Judaism, and Islam; and “India- born religions”: Buddhism, Hindu- ism, and Taoism. The groups have conflicts within themselves, but were put together to show more And West Africans and Asians-whose religion is “sacramental”, or primitive. The most important religious en- counter today between East and West is that of Buddhism ‘and Christianity. (When Mr. Tillich talked with Buddhist scholars, priests, and monks on his recent trip to Japan, there was no hostil- ity; both groups tried to be hon- est. The two religions can agree on the idea of an ultimate reality, something that transcends time and space and is infinite. Ideals Differ However, the symbol of crea- tion, (not the myth taken literal- ly), the basis of all Western cul- ture, the idea that goodness "is in the essential nature of everything created, Buddhism would not un- derstand. The goal of the individ- ual in the two religions is also very different. The Christian ideal is the fulfillment of personal poten- tialities, but Buddhism is concern- ed with the “formless self’, where there is no subjective or objective consciousness. Here there is no ul- timate affirmation of the person. This difference in the basic valua- tion of the person is most impor- tant. The ethical values in the two cultures are also contrasting. In Christianity a decision’ has “ultim- ate seriousness” for. the present || Neither party, he contended, will contribute to peace. Both parties favor great military strength, sim- ply because preparation for war is so ingrained-in-our_way of life. Pressure groups put us in an arms race which we can never win—and even if we could the results would probably fbe disastrous. “Assum- ing success in the arms race,” said Mr. Bachrach, “it may dawn on the i\American people that war is not obsolete, that we could build enough underground shelters to sustain us—in short, Might might start its own war.” Issue of Faces “By this argument, we would vote Republican,” he said. The “tax boys” would constitute the “pressure group.” But we must also consider the Democratic point of view: increasing war expendi- tures but at the same time at- tempting to solve domestic prob- lems. “As for myself,” he con- tinued, “there is no choice—one of the candidates’ faces I can’t stand looking at, and the other I can tolerate!” Policy Conflict “The main problem,” he said, “ig that. neither candidate ques- tions, or even seéms to realize, that there is am all too great con- flict between their policies of arm- ed strength on fhe one hand, and disarmament on the other. The forces of peace,” he concluded, ‘ie not in America, but in the uncommitted nations, such as In- dia.

Professors and such ac- costed at random spew Mixed Humor Delights Critic; Holds Audience Alert, Happy by E. Anne Eberle ’61 Vanity and Virtue was a success. The atmosphere from the ami- ably smiling lion on the program-cover to the amiably chuckling audi- ence which finally left Goodhart was one of good-humored nonsense and even occasional good-humored sense. What probably saved this junior show where others have gone under was the fact that it made almost no pretetises: to plot (there was a sudden storm of it in the vicinity of the second act, but the show remained undamaged); to char- acter development (there was room in all the parts for the actresses to play a bit, but no one was center-stage long enough to be called the Central Character); to all the little Bryn Mawr-type witticisms which are generally scattered through script and lyrics to ensure at least a laugh or two at intervals. Diversity of Humor A laugh or two at intervals of thirty seconds was more the case here, here, I think I’ll take off my ring’) with puns (“You simply can’t put Descartes before the horse”) with satire (“That’s what’s wrong with English teddy -boys — we need a Leonard Bernstein’) with sur- prise-ending lines (“I’ve worked very hard-to_raise my daughters and I don’t intend to see their-im- aginations restricted by the facts,” or “eat, drink, and be wary”) with plain old slapstick (the vacuum- bomb that milked every cow with- in five miles.) Variety was the word of the hour. Not only did the show con- tain the most delightful, unlikely set of characters which has grac- ed Goodhart stage in some years (exclusive perhaps of the evidently moribund faculty shows?), but it also managed to squeeze In a love- scene, usually~the fidgety-blushy portion of class shows, which would have warmed the heart of the American Tobacco Company; a death scene with more false fin- ishes than the Olympics had false starts; a marriage proposal graced at one time with Christopher Mar- lowe and Sandwich #9; a rock ’n roll session which may revolution- ize stepsings; and two non-essen- tial, but enjoyable, grim detectives mostly given to autobiography. The audience laughed gleefully when it was suddenly reminded,, at the opening of the last scene, as the entire cast minced about in ludicrous combination, of the fan- tastic array of characters which had trotted on and off. Casting was certainly one of the glories of the show. All the char- acters stayed within their parts, though perhaps the epitome of this was Lady Trilby, who turns out to be ‘Abby Wootton, but who cer- tainly never suggested it during the show. With monocle and hand- kerchief and twisting hands she with some (political Scientists who};, ged the concerns’ of her moth- er’s heart, whether as the center of attention or merely “blending with the decor” as the aristocrats were designed to do.

Good judgment was exercised in inserting Angela only now and then, so one was not exhausted with a certain. teeth- grinding tendency which arose whenever she was on stage. . If Martha Webb, as Lucinda, had been put on stage merely to render the song “You Simply Can’t Trust a Man” she would have been valu- able to the show without further ado. Her performance as the sweet young heroine, who seems destined to slip daintily through each show with hands clasped behind back, was certainly adequate and at times very strong (her handling of the whole filter routine was a su- -perb dose of farce, which has a tendency to slip either into eorn or complete ineffectiveness). But she sent her one song sizzling out into the audience with such verve that one regrets that she had only the one occasion, and the effect of the many group songs was per- haps diminished by the sharpness of her solo performance. Louise Weingarten, as Geoffrey, did very well as a character who seemed always to be playing to someone else when he was on stage.

On Letters Received -.Most people like getting letters, and so do most news- papers. Letters mean interest, and interest is what news- papers are around to create; letters also mean information, and information is what newspapers hope to convey. The News, then, is pleased on two counts with what has come in in this week’s mail—the letters from students registering approval of our last week’s challenge and those from the faculty protesting one of the methods proposed for meeting it. (See Letters to Editor). On the basis of the interest indicated in the first men- tioned missives (re: foster child) and the information offer- ed in the second (on Moral Re-armament) we can only con- clude that problems are (alack) a lot easier to spot than so- lutions. We, therefore, restate the predicament—that is, the desperate need for communication of world-awareness— and add our hope that if a more satisfactory nostrum is not forthcoming, perhaps recognition of the problem will be a solution in itself. A Pileable Panacea With the constant cropping up of issues on campus the News has grown weary trying to treat each one individu- ally. We have, therefore, found it necessary to formulate a composite solution to all conceivable issues which might arise within the next decade. Leaves, we believe, properly employed can solve anything. One great pile of them in front of the library, set up sun-dial-like, might make it poss- ible for one to tell time by the shadow of a strategically- - placed black elm leaf, because (Issue 1) hour-glasses and clocks located in the library or Taylor do always offer some _ time, but not always The time. é : Then, too, as one hobbles out of Taylor, enraged by in- humanities of professors or contorted beyond repair through having had to temporarily sacrifice the customary position of one’s spine or right arm to an ill-placed desk-leg, or (this is Issue 2) a writing surface which is aimed at an angle per- pendicular to the: floor, one may pounce fiercely on the pile to rid one’s self of hostilities or return one’s bones to their proper ent. — Considering, moreover, ‘our forced isolation (Issue 3) which is caused by a two-month busy-signal delay of phone calls, it would appear valuable to establish the area of leaves ~ as @ place for meeting people, installing phone booths; or-at t, holding seances. Just before the commonly accepted time for snow, the pile could be burned. The light resulting from this blaze could be bottled, bottles placed strategically in the library to provide proper lighting (Issue 4).

Professor O’Toole outlined the legal ramifi- cation of Civil Rights, and suggest- ed that further efforts be concen- trated on the cultivation of com- munity conscience and fair poli- tical processes. He challenged the ‘|group by saying that the applica- tion of pressure upon the legal in- _|stitutions may undermine justice by forcing law and the courts to render moral, rather than legal judgments.

I am astonished, net to say shocked, to encounter this senti- ment in the Bryn Mawr student paper, of. all places. Let me com- mend most. earnestly to the staff —in its own words— a “thorough examination on all levels of its (Moral Re-armament) precepts and purposes,” an examination to include, I would suggest, its leadership, its prevailing con- cepts of man and society, the na- ture of its support, and its record of past performance. This investi- gation, needless to say, will carry you well beyond the movement’s own handbook. Sincerely yours, M. T. Kennedy, Jr. To the Editor: It is difficult to believe that the free. advertising for the “Moral Re-armament” movement in recent issues of the News is not part of some new undergraduate hoax. One may hope so. On the other hand there may be those at Bryn Mawr who are not acquainted with this curious movement and its history, by Suzy Spain Since class colors are decided on by the predominance of a partic- ular color showing up in the sub- freshman interviews, there must needs bbe a certain way in which this majority preference of an as- sembled group of people may be expressed, jand the group itself identified from other groups, pre- viously admitted BMC ones, Hav- erford, Villanova or from the spreading ivies and chestnuts, and lastly, the next sub-freshman group arriving in mother-of-pearl-orange.

I should think “Moral Re-arma- |ment” might best de described as a kind of white-collar, or: gutless, fascism. In the thirty years since it was launched as the “First-Cen- tury Christian Fellowship” it has been one of the more remarkable pheonomena in the intellectual un- derworld of our times. Its powers of endurance are probably rooted in its exceptional powers of self- publicity, which are only a little less sophisticated than its powers of self-congratulation. (It is mas- terful in eliciting testimonials from non-English-speaking foreign statesmen.) As the News editorial- ist observed, it has not lacked sup- porters—who, like the supporters of the 27% “per cent tax exemption granted the oil industry—are of ‘|theygort that has little difficulty in paying for full-page ads in The New York Times and for the dis- tribution of 177. million booklets across the world. Originally a harmless evangelical movement which was once labeled, rather flatteringly, ‘a Salvation Army for the middle classes”, it turned sometime in the late 1930's into the more profitable pastures of Anti-communism. One can say of it that it has shown a peculiar tolerance in choosing allies. Thus in 1936 its leader, Dr. Buchman, wrote: “I thank heaven for a man like Adolf Hitler, who built a front line_of.defence-against~ the anti- Christ of Communism.” “Think,” he went on, “what it would mean to the world if Hitler surrendered to the control of God. Through such a man God could control a |nation overnight and solve every last bewildering problem.” (Two years later, in 1938, according to the newest version of Dr. Buch- man’s periodically reconstructed contribution to Who’s Who, he was sponsoring the self-styled “Nordic Assembly for MRA”.) If this inconvenient historical data seems to impute a degree of guilt-by-association, it will have served its purpose. Those interested in the public history and present reputation of “Moral . Re-armament” are refer- red to two articles in the British press earier this year. One is in the New Statesman for June 4, 1960, and I have put it on reserve at the main circulation desk in the library. The other is in The Econ- omist for May, 1960, but unfortun-. ately is just now at the bindery. It should be back in the library shortly. Sincerely yours, W. B.

The group lived with the Kaka peo- ple and built them a church. “We were supposed to build”a church for 1000 people, with nothing to go by exeept some vague plans drawn up by an MIT student.” This required much _ ingenuity: breaking rocks into pebbles, and using beer bottles in cement col- umns for stained glass windows. In general, Jan was not favor- ably impressed with the mission- aries, most of whom were Ameri- ‘can Presbyterians. “They were not good Christians or good repre- sentatives of America.” She quot- ed one as saying, “I didn’t come out-here-to-lovethese people. I came out to preach the gospel.” However, she did meet a couple of missionary families who were do- ing a fine job. The missionaries treated Jan’s group just as workers, but the Africans did everything possible to be ‘friendly: “We got to know the Africans, and to understand the--village.After-a dinner of ‘Fufu’ and monkey meat, we talk- ed with African students - (in French). The king would send his drummers and dancers, and soon we were doing the drumming and dancing ourselves.” Gorilla Reincarnation “In the bush,” Jan remarked, “you get used to bugs. One day a gorilla came into the village. The Africans have a superstition that the dead come back as gorillas. You just have to talk to them and tell them to go ‘back to the dead.” The fact that they were working together made it easy for the mem- bers of the group and the Africans who helped, to get to know and|/ trust one another. A few Amer- icans suffered from cultural shock, but only ome was sent home—be- cause of sickness. On weekends they were free to go off to other small villages. Jan started fre- quenting the local night club, which had ‘good cross-section of people. In that particular county of the Cameroons, there is a big division betweeen civil and tribal law, which causes great confusion. The king still has the real avenue to the people, but he co-operates with the Prefect. Once, when the Cross- roads Africa group discovered some clothes missing, they had to resort to the king’s bodyguard, as the gendarmerie was no use in finding -them,.__ “When we left (the village) I’ve never been so sad in my life. We had a dedication of the church, and it seemed to be a lasting mon- ument.in friendship as well as a building.” Luxurious Brice In her travels after leaving the Cameroons, Jan was impressed with the luxury and beauty of the big cities. “None of these coun- tries is as poor as the Cameroons. In Ghana we saw what is known as the most beautiful college in the world.” All over Africa they met with tremendous warmth, hospitality and kindness, The Af- “American.group had invited some |’ Africans to dinner, and mistaken- ly put all the food out on the table, which meant that they had to go hungry while their guests took away what they hadn’t finished. Ugly Americans “There is an adventure every single second. Every time’ you turn around you meet someone interesting.” The Africans are very proud of their cultural. heri- tage. They are also very anxious to come to the United States to study, and education of any sort is highly prized. Technicians and teachers from other countries are in great demand, and are given every possible advantage in the way of help and housing. In speaking of Afro-American relations, Jan remarked that “some of the American embassy officials are real ‘ugly Americans’.” Also, articles of racial discrimination in the States appear in African news- papers. “I was asked many em- barrassing questions. They’re very |concerned with the color question.” Schweitzer is by no means univer- sally popular. Many smashed him saying he has no feeling for the African people; and-plays the-role of a great white father. “IT have nothing but thanks and admiration for the African peo- ple,” Jan said; “and so many of them sent their heartfelt hellos and greetings to America and the American people.” However, she ' also mentioned the intense threat of Communism. “All of Africa from anyone.” |So far, Russia has been much more forward than the United (States in offering that much-needed aid.

Miss Mellink:of the Bryn Ma w.r Archaeology «Department talked on “Archaeological Evidence for Akkadian Contacts with Asia |Minor.” Mr. Soper of History of Art discussed: “The Buddhist Cave- Shrines at Youkang and the Rulers of the Northern Wei Dynasty.” Topics were so varied and narrow ranging from some aspect of an- cient history to modern philologi- cal problems that Mr. Soper and Miss Mellink found their interest limited to only a few.

Delegations came from many eastern as well as western countries, ~ from India and _ the United States as well as North Korea and Paris. Unfortunately the conference was held directly after the Russian-Communist China ideological] rift, so a planned delegation of about 100 Chinese scholars never arrived. Another limitation the Russians imposed was im=the choice of languages. The Western European languages and Russian were the official lang- uages of the conference, while most of the delegates undérstood “no Russian and Oriental tongues were not used. Mr. Soper felt that the confer- ence was clumsily. organized, and resulted in little fraternization be- tween scholars from different countries.

Record Club Buys Tebaldi And Frost, Other New Works by Isa Brannon It is true that the News editorial board is occasionally prone to dis- agreement, especially during’’ na- tional elections. However, there is one thing to which we give .our unanimous approval, the record library. and that is Some of the new records the library has purchased this year include: Tosca, the complete Ren- ata Tebaldi recording; Robert Frost Reads. His Poetry; Night’s Dream; and Falla’s Nights in the Gardens of Spain. It can be seen from this sample list that the library includes selections for all tastes. There are several Arch- ive albums, which even the con- noiseurs can rarely find or afford. One of these is a Pergolesi album. Midsummer One reason that the library~is a must for even those with an am- ple record collection is that it_off- ers recordings of little-known can- tatas and operas. which either are no longer Made or which one might not care to own, but want to hear. For the people who are just starting collections, the library offers the opportunity for listening before deciding to buy. And too, for the old-fashioned types whose ‘victrolas” play only 78s, there is a large selection at the record library.

Given the sim- ilarities of premises the choice of candidates reduces itself largely to a question of personality. In this respect, I find Nixon’s efforts to present himself in a dignified image rather cloying. Further- more, I don’t see how the kitchen debate prepares him- better for the presidency. On the other hand, Kennedy seems at least to show a more dynamic and frank approach in the campaign, I admit that my reasons for preferring Kennedy are not the most forceful but they represent the only positive basis for judgment in the campaign for me.” Mr. Schneider: Favors Kennedy, “reluctantly.” He feels that.

I have never known less.” This indecision has” persuaded her to purchase a _ television set in order to follow the campaign.as closely as possible. She vividly remembers highlights of previous elections and recalls the time she changed her mind because of a last minute foreign policy speech. However, in the forthcoming election, she fears that her vote will be cast not so much in favor of one can- didate as against his opponent. a , Mrs.\Livingston: “Well, I’m un- decided. I’m a Republican who hasn’t made up her mind.” Miss Stearns: “My opinions are not completely formulated yet. . On the whole I’m probably leaning towards Kennedy, but I’m still reading on it. I’m still reading books about the different views of the candidates, and I haven’t even read Kennedy’s speeches yet which is the next thing I intend to do. “I think that Lodge has done very well, but unfortunately he’s not running for president. I like many of Kennedy’s stands, but, as I say, I have to study it more.” Miss Hoyte: “As the election grew nearer I grew more and more unhappy on the basis of the Demo- cratic platform. Mr. Kennedy was leaving me more and more unhap- py, but Mr. Nixon was leaving me still more unhappy, and so a few days ago I came to the conclusion that, although not completely sold on Mr. Kennedy, that Mr. Kennedy will be my choice. Mr. Michels: “I can’t: vote for either candidate with a clear con- science.” Mr. Mallory: “There are two rea- sons why I am voting for Kennedy. One is objective and the other subjective.

Professor Nelson gave} the history and decisive character- —{stics of non-violent action as out-| lined by the Rev. Martin Luther King in his book Strides Toward Freedom. The conference re-convened Sat- urday at 10:00 A. M. with a panel discussion on community problems. The chairman was Mr. Larry of the Commission on Mr. Judge Allen, of the Urban ‘League on Employment, Mr. James Baker, of the N. A. A. C. P. on Open Market Housing, Mr. Irving Pankin, of the Jewish Labor Com- mittee on Labor and Integration in the North, and Mr. Anthony Vega, of the Puerto Rican Migra- tion Division. The panelists spoke on their particular fields, and an- swered questions relating to pos- sibilities for solution of the prob- lems they had presented. At 11:30 A. M., the conference split up into small ‘discussion groups. Each group discussed one aspect of campus problems, such as fraternities and sororities, cam- pus housing, and college employ- ment and placement services. After lunch, there was another panel discussion of the Southern portents of Civil Right. The Rev. Gilbert Doan, ofthe Lutheran stu- dents’ Association, cited examples from the Old and New Testaments applicable to Civil Rights action. Mr, Edward Hollander explained the differences in the Southern and ‘Northern students’ use of non-vio- lent action. He said that the South- ern students tend to view non-vio- lence as more than a technique for achieving freedom, but that this ideological difference does in no way divide the groups. Both Mr. Oppenheimer and Mr. Walters, (who had just returned from an N.S. A. discussion with chain-store executives), stated and document- ed the belief that integration of Southern. schools and chain-store lunch counters has just begun, and that continued efforts are needed to achieve a-full integration. After the panel discussion, a plenary session of the conference voted to accept a pledge dedicating it to non-violence as a means of affecting Civil Rights. The conference adjourned, after which a meeting of the Philadel- phia Coordinating Committee for Civil Rights, sponsor of the con- ference, elected its new chairman, Mr. Edward Hollander. The group also discussed plans for an elec- tion day demonstration, involving stuents from. local colleges.

Mr. Kline And Film Form Engaging ‘Double Feature by Berna Landsman The Soviet Union Today was the title of the excellent Julian Bryan documentary film shown in the Biology Lecture Room last Wed- nesday afternoon, but Mr. Kline’s comments after the film were, for many, the most interesting part of this unusual “double-feature.” Mr, George Kline, a new Associate ‘Professor in Philosophy and Rus- sian this year, has traveled exten- -Sively~ in the UiS:S.R., once very recently, and thetetore had many first-hand experiences with which to illustrate his points. Living Conditions Although the Russians have a “functioning system,” there are, Mr. Kiine contended, many incon- sistencies within it. First, there is a great contrast between high- ly-developedscience ~and~ technol= ogy and the primitive way of life of the people. Although housing conditions are very poor, with few people having running water and not even the wealthiest having hot water, the Russians spend tremen- dous sums of money on rockets ‘and missiles. “But since Sputnik,” added Mr. Kiine, “many more peo- ple have become aware of this sharp contrast.” Russian Women The Soviet attitude toward wom- en, he pointed out, is also quite inconsistent. Women do manual and many other types of labor right along with men, In the field of medicine, women have distin- guished themselves. ‘“Albout two- thirds of the doctors are women,” he said. “Yet there are few women professors, writers, or orchestra members. And of course it is un- feminine for women to smoke in public, or drink.” There is also an ambivalence in. cultural matters. One finds_a rev- erence for older Russian art, but. not for such moderns as Kandin- sky or. Chagall, who are rarely, if ever, shown. Yet the works of the French Impressionists, and some 16th and 17th century art is shown -—but not reproduced and hung in students’ rooms, for instance, as here. [The government’s attitude toward Pasternak ‘was typical; Doctor Zhivago was denounced as “depressing,” yet new editions of Pasternak’s translations (of “ap- proved” writings) have recently appeared. (No mention was made of Pasternak’s death in the Soviet papers. “Despite continuous at- tempts,” added Mr. Kline, “I was unable to wisit Pasternak’s grave. Apparently it is feared that its opening to the public might result in its becoming a sort of shrine, which would be ‘most undesirable’ ‘from the government’s point of view.” ’ Mr, Kline also spoke of the “cul- tural underground” which “came close to the surface until after Hungary in 1956. In such regions as Georgia, outside Russia itself, it is still quite close. Lyric poetry, painting, and, to some extent, __seulpture,are—circulated broadly.’ He told the story of a young, and of course unpublished, new poet, who, in giving a poetry reading before a large audience, fongot the next line, and hesitated a moment to look down at his notebook. Tears aulience in unison recited the next line. ‘Public signs giving social advice are prevalent. Typical ones say: “Shine your shoes. It will length- en their wear and improve your political appearance”; “Don’t drink while boating.” And in the Lenin library. there-is- a~ sign, “intended for staff members to read, “Clean- liness and order will help you to live longer and serve your country better.” — Mr. Kline reported an “increas- ing vitriolic campaign against Americans. It seems that the So- viets,” he said, “want to have their tourists and eat them too.” After the Powers’ trial, Mr. Kline did not notice much change in the attitude of the Russian peo- ple themselves. In conclusion, he cited as an example the humble and unreported act of a typical Russian peasant, who, on seeing the grief-stricken mother of Lt. Powers after the trial, hastily thrust a small flower into her cab and said, “We can appreciate how much you must be suffering,” and then disappeared in the. crowd. Campus Poll will be conducted this week by the Alliance for Political At- fairs. Ballots will be distribut- ed to all students, faculty and campus staff and will include questions on party preference and favored candidates. The Alliance urges everyone to express his political choice and cast his ballot by Friday night, October 28. Ballot boxes will be located in each hall, in Tay- lor and near the Faculty mail table in the Library. will be announced in the College News next week.) A campus ‘presidential poll f (Results } Friends Of Music »Sponsor Concerts, Provide Workshops _by Alison Baker The “Friends of Music” was started six years ago, by a group of people who thought that there was too little stress on music at Bryn Mawr. They wanted to have concerts and also workshops in which the artist would give an in- formal talk followed by discussion. This would provide a more intim- ate.view of the artist, his instru- ment’and music. - Mrs. Lewis, chairman of the Friends of: Music, who explained all about the group and its pur- pose, stressed that these workshops are for anyone, including those]. who_know_very-—little-about~music: They are not serious seminars, as the title might imply. The members of the Friends of Music fall into two categories. There are about fifty alumnae, in- terested in furthering the cause of music’ at Bryn Mawr, and about two hundred members who live in the area and like to go to the con- certs, It is through this member- ship that the concerts are financed, and as a result there is no charge to students for either the concerts or the workshops. The program, which is chosen by a planning committee, depends partly on finances, but it is also designed to try to give as varied a program as possible in a four- year period, or a student’s term at college. The first of the two Friends’ of Music concerts this year will take place on November. 2. The program is not yet definite, but the artists are Mr. Kincaid (flute), Mr. Bru- silow (violin) and (Mr. Sokoloff (piano). bers of the faculty are encouraged to come to the concert and to a workshop given by Mr. Kincaid on November 3. All students and mem- by Ellen Rothenberg “The role of the philosopher of science,” explained Mrs, Marjorie Grene, Lucy Martin Dornelly Fel- low for this year, who will be working at Queens College in Bel- fast, “is to examine the thinking of scientists and to try to. deter- mine the influences: which direct their work.” Mrs, Grene believes that a sci- entist begins his work with certain pre-established conceptions of what he will find. These pre-supposi- tions are what determine his ini- tial hypotheses and lines of inves- tigation. | _ Year’s Events Mrs. eons s particular field of inquiry is evolution. She hopefully confided her intention of complet- ing a book on this subject during the coming year. Her presence at Bryn Mawr is only temporary. It is customary for each year’s Lucy Martin Donnelly Fellow to visit the college briefly and deliver a lecture or two. “TI particularly enjoyed the tea with the Philosophy Club,” she said in typically exuberant fashion. “After I had read my paper we had a wonderfully stimulating dis- cussion, I am very much im- pressed with the students here.” Personal History (Mrs. Grene’s paper was on “Cause es” and dealt with the importance —or unimportanice — assigned to “cause” by philosophers and sci- entists. The night before (October 19), she lectured on “Kant and His Contemporaries.” Turning for a moment from phi- losophy, Mrs. Grene sketched some of her history. ‘I am a Wellesley graduate, if you want to go back that far,” she began. “Actually my mother Continued from Page 1, Col. 2 carnation doctrine symbolic, the decision of the individual in the present might come to be as im- portant as it is to Christians, but the majority of Buddhists still be- lieve that through a succession of existences they will eventually get out of this life into Nirvana.

The whole “string quartet”, complete with leather jackets and frighteningly authentic expressions, sent not only their plants in the audience but some of the paying public as well into the aisles. In an institution professing dedication to the high- est quality in all things, the audi- ence was not slow to sense the quality of the “art form.” In fact, Marita Viglione’s music (if we may heartlessly cram the rest of the show’s songs into the same B-R-O-A4D category with “Teenage Chicken”) in general was of a quality mot always seen in class shows. ‘Only here and there a se- quence slipped in which any Bryn Mawrter in the wilds of Australia or Lapland would recognize as coming from a class show. And for the most part the words and -musi¢ were delightfully coordinat- ed and did not give the impression that the music had been forcibly applied to words which did not quite fit, or vice-versa. The pos- sible exception to this was the first song, “C’est la Vie”, but the poli- tical lyries .were so acute and Lady Trilby’s rendition so clear that it scarcely mattered. Starting |]. the show with a song, in fact, was an extremely effective maneuver. Because the songs in general were so good, “Unity” seemed noticeably stiff and out of place, just as the few weak lines of dialogue were revealed only by the over-all strength, Ironically enough, what saved “Unity” was the fact that each of the singers stayed in char- acter throughout it, and one could concentrate on them as individuals.
