It is the belief of the Under- graduate Council (the presidents of Self-Gov, Undergrad, League, Al- liance, .and. A.A.) that. because there are so, many: hall reps to be chosen early in the fall, these elec- tions are usually rushed, and little thought is given them. In the spring, however, the _ students would be more aware of those who had been particularly interested in the organization during the year and those who would be especially qualified for the position of hall rep. The Council hopes that next year the representatives will take over - Bridge Tournament Winner Two Juniors Given White Blazers At Awards Night Program, April 11 On Wednesday, April 11, the Athletic Association held its an- nual Awards Night. Dessert, awards and the reports of each team were the features which at- tracted a good number of students, The outstanding event of the evening was the presentation of the white B Mawr athletic blaz- ers, given for a total of 4000 points in varsity competition in three dif- ferent sports. Recipients of the blazers were Joan Parker, with 5300 points, and Elizabeth Thomas, with 4350. * Aside from this triumph by members of the junior class, and the sophomores’ victory in win- ning the All Round Athletic Cham- pionship Cup, the freshman class was outstanding. In addition to the five freshmen who won owls—the largest number in a long while— two 59ers, Betsy Johnson and Lucy and J.V. Swimming Cups. These awards are given for winning the most points in this season’s swim- ming meets. For the second time in two years, Janet Hetzel’ won the Varsity Diving Cup. Awards were also given to the winners of the bridge. tournament, Anne Wake, Katie Westervelt,| ‘Louise Breuer'and Avis Fleming. Betsy Dugdale received a special award _; for her invention of the game” of. Bad-Puddle-Ball, to be played under the showers when the shortage of varsity players became too acute. In addition to the hu- -morous intent, the pin was the con- with the new officers after spring vacation. As in Self-Gov and Un- dergrad, the newly elected _presi- ‘dent would be able to plan projects and could look forward to a year unbroken by. the interruption of new representatives. The same board could make and carry out its own plans for such fall activi- ties as Freshman Week and the combined League-Alliance tea. Al- though it was impossible this year for the new upperclass reps to take over with the new officers after spring vacation, the Undergraduate Council would like these reps to be elected in a couple of weeks, to at- tend the last meetings of. the or- ganizations this spring, and to as- sume their responsibilities upon re- turning in the fall. The Council also believes that these upperclass representatives ‘could be heipful in’ making” the” freshman rep elections more’ mean- ingful, They could explain the or- ganization and duties of the hall rep to the freshmen. Upperclass- men actively participating in League, Alliance, or A.A. could certainly give a better account of the organization to the freshmen, than someone who may no longer crete expression of the admiration, respect and gratitude which the A.A. board felt for Betsy and the outstanding job she has done this year? Winners of Owls for 1000 oeints were, in thé senior class: Ann Coe, Mary Darling, Liz Hall, Joan Havens, Peggy King, Ann Pe- terkin and Ann Teitler. Class of ’67: Romia Bull, Ginger Carroll, Alison Cragin, Gwen Gar- land, Sheppie Glass, Lois LaBelle, Mimi Machado, Kate Todd and Sally ‘Wise. Class of ’58: Estill Barksdale, Carol Cannon, Deb Flint, Marty Fuller, Marisa Gori, Sheila Janney, Ann Keller, Grace LaBouchere, Caroline Leslie, Adelaide / Miller, Ottilie Pattison, Judy. Robertson, Jane Rouillion, Anne Schaefer, Mary Skinner, Kitty Stoddert and Sally Twiggar. Class of 59; Ann Farlow, . Moira a" , Lucey Sherman and Lucy Wales. Winners of pins for 2500 points were: Diana Scott Op er and Miggy Schwab, ’56; Ginger Carroll, Gail Disney, Diana Russell, Eliza- beth Thomas and Jane White, ’57; and Judy. Robertson, ’58. Other cups and plaques present- ed were: Champion Hall Award, to Pem West; hall basketball, to the Grad Center; interclass hockey, which was a. tie n the jun- iors and freshmen; interclass bad- minton, to the freshmen; interclass swimming, to the omores, and be as familiar with these activities. gators argue that this system of elections would give next ‘year’ ’s freshmen no part in choos- ing their upperclass reps. The heads of these organizations feel that with elections in the fall, how- ever, the freshmen cannot help but vote blindly. Having only been in the hall for a couple of weeks, they have no idea of who would be qual- ified for these positions. Even if the upperclassmen are elected in the spring, the new freshmen will be directly represented by their own Freshman Rep. This proposal will be voted on in an open Legislature meeting on Wednesday, April 25.

They are always shown riding the coach- es, sitting in the family circle or the orchestra pit, eating in diners, drinking beer. This picture is not without foundation in fact for we as students are living on charity, the charity of our parents and the college endowment. Most of us can- not spend as much as we would like and must, of-necessty, make choices. ) stioh) This year Bryn Mawrtyrs as a whole did not choose to’ support wholeheartedly the League Activities Drive. Only two thousand of the goal of thirty-six hundred dollars was realized. This may be due to the fact that the chances for suecess of the second drive of the year, USF being the first, are slight. Or the policy of “less pressure to give” at the level of the hall. representative may have had its effect. Even if ths latter is true, a return to the old blackjack and hand- cuff methods is not justified. _ The money from the activities drive pays for two things: approximately five hundred dollars goes for the running of the League organizations on campus and the remainder goes to the Bryn Mawr summer camp for underprivileged children. It is likely that the half-hearted support of the League drive represents a lack of interest in one of these beneficiaries, and it seems wise at this point to separate them distinctly. The League groups ‘on campus are on-a par with those of Undergrad, Alliance, and the AA. We favor a proposal which has been presented at College Council and suggests that the bill for the campus League activities be attached to Common Treasury dues along with those of the other three organizations. This would represent a maximum increase of one dollar per person, not an unreasonable amount. This leaves the summer camp unaccounted for. The drive this year did not raise enough money to support the camp and it will be able to function this summer only because of some money saved from last year and, possibly, a loan or donation from USF. This is obviously only a temporary solution; the mortgage will have run out by next fall and the problem will have to be faced directly. But before financial plans are dis- cussed a complete re-evaluation of the place of a camp, in- cluding a careful survey of campus opinion towards it, should be made. Does the college, as a whole, wish to support this organization ? It has been suggested that either the summer camp be — in USF or that there be a separate drive for its ben- efit. Undergrad Advisory Board The News would like to lend its approval to the propos- ey establish an Advisory Board to Undergrad, composed of tact ee: At present Undergrad has direct con- th only three halls, as all the class representatives are from Rock, Pem East and Rhoads. It seems obvious that the organization cannot adequately discuss and solve campus problems when so great a proportion of campus opinion is not heard. The recent hall discussions have revealed a lack of understanding and sympathy with Undergrad that would be to some extent alleviated if each hall had at least one rep- resentative to the o tion. Undergrad favors the establishment of a separate, non- voting board to discuss campus problems, report the findings o Undergrad executive rd, and carry Undergrad decisions and opinions to the halls. Stch-a-proposal is undoubtedly worth a try, although we feel some reservations about-th eA eOOCULI Ve AA advisability of such a plan. A board which has no adminis-| trative duties, nor voting power, may have difficulty remain- ing a vital and r nsible body. : «, There is also problem of full and fair communication between the two boards—how much would the executive obligated to consider the suggestions and discus- y board?

From The Balcony By Joan Brandwein and Ruth Rasch A new musical. show. of operatic scope has just opened at the Shu- bert Theater. Fella, following so closely on the heels of another musical hit, My Fair Lady, cannot avoid being com- pared to it. It is not the same— its excellence is in an extravagance pf music rather than an extrava- gance of scenery; the new play lacks humor, but it abounds in rhythm and melody.. However, one similarity does exist—both can be classed as exceptional musical shows. ’ The Most- Happy Fella is the story of a bald, fat, middle-aged farmer from the Napa Valley in California who falls in love with a young waitress in San Francisco and succeeds in marrying her. The troubles which result from this match—troubles sudden, as well as constant—make up the plot of the show. The central situation has been featured in several shows of recent origin, and the plot is not outstanding. The lack of suspense, however, is almost the only flaw in the show. ae The dramatic intensity of The Most Happy Fella comes from the music—both its quality and the ex- cellence of its performance. In ad- dition,.all the singers (because of the scarcity of uninterrupted spok- en dialogue one must refer to the performers as such) were excellent actors. What was impressive about the music was its variety; the beauti ful lyric choral numbers were fol- lowed immediately by popular type songs. ‘Rosabella,” and the title song, sung with entire chorus and orchestra, were highlights of the show. The orchestra overflowed the pit and was stationed in the two boxes on either side. The songs conveyed the emotion of a farmer in love. The opening number, “Oh my Feet,” as well as “Standing on the Corner,” were songs in a humorous vein; they broke the dramatic and tonal con- The Most Happy | cit centration which sometimes seem- ‘ed to overwhelm the audience. Robert Weede as Tony, the ‘‘Most Happy Farmer,” dominated the show physically and musically. A large man with a commanding voice, he played a difficult part well. As a quick-tempered Italian farmer, he was always appfopri- ately easy to anger and quick to forgive—a good man, if not always a happy one. Musically, too, this alumnus of the Metropolitan Opera Company was commanding, and his voice ringing up through the Shu- bert Theater made even the tradi- tional balcony seat of The News As the attractive blond waitress whom Tony loves, Jo Sullivan, was competent. Her acting, appropri- ately enough to her part, lacked the scale of Mr Weede’s perform- ance, just as her voice lacked the volume~of--his. _ But her. singing and her portrayal of beautiful Rosabella, a gentle, lost person looking for security and love, was excellent. ¥ As Joey, the handsome foreman Art Lund (a popular crooner) did very well. The second couple, Su- san Johnson, who played Rosabel- la’s loyal, “soft inside, tough out- side” friend, and Shorty Long as the exceptionally” good-hearted Herman, were also excellent. They both played their parts with the vigor and vim the roles required, never losing sight of the tender- ness of feeling which ran through every part of this show. Though the music of the show was elaborate, the scenery was not. However, it was appropriate and attractive. One set was particular- ly effective: the one at Tony’s barn, with the “sun” shining through the “trees” was beautiful and well suited to the dramatic events which occurred before it. The lighter and livelier sets were effective back- grounds for the dancing, which added yet another touch of excel- lence to the unusual and success- ful show. fe] Dearls By Patty Page Although intending to ignore the historical significance of today’s events in dignified silence, we have been constrained to take notice of them.

At the present time, the chairman ot Chapel Committee, the first sophomore to Self-Gov., and the first sophomore to .Undergrad are elected by the college as a whole, If these officers are to func- tion adequately as representatives of their groups, it seems only log- ical that they snould be elected by their groups. _ In regard to the sophomore rep- resentatives; a large portion of the upperclassmen are: not sufficiently acquainted with these candidates and therefore, are not competent to judge whether or not they rep- resent the majority opinion of the class. lt would seem, therefore, that the only students competent to judge are the freshmen. The election of the chairman ol Chapel Committee by the college as a whole presents a similar mis- representation, In view of the small percentage of active partici- pants in Chapel Committee, the chairman may not be known to the student in her role on the commit- ‘tee, although a great proportion of the student body may be acquaint-” ed with her. Therefore, we feel that the Chapel.Committee should elect its own chairman. At the present time, emphasis is placed upon all-college elections of officers, about whom the student body is not adequately informed and more important, in whom the students are not interested. We therefore feel that the election of these officers should. be by the group directly involved, or that it should be the individual student’s responsibility to vote only when informed and interested.

Wednesday, April 18, 1956 THE COLLEGE NEWS ie Page Three ~ Students Express Partisan Views On Campaign Issues. Democrats Criticize Administration’s Handling Of Farm, Foreign Problems Lack Of Strong Leadership On President’s Part And IIl-Defined Gov’t Policies Are Seen By Anna Kisselgoff and Marcia Case eae Although the Republican. Party will campaign under the slogan of “peace and prosperity,” a close look at the facts will reveal that “neace and prosperity” cannot cov- er up broken campaign promises, lack of strong leadership, and the inadequacies of the Republican pro- gram. At home, the Republicans have let down the group to which they promised the most: the farmers. The farm issue will be the most important domestic issue in the coming—campaign—and. with good reason! Under the Republicans, the farm situation has deteriorated substantially. Farm income and prices have declined while. prices paid by the farmer have increased. At the same time, surplus stocks have- increased tremendously. Once having promised 90 per cent parity, - the Eisenhower administration has let this scale slip down to 75 per. cent through its flexible price sup- port program. Secretary Benson al the Ad- ministration viewed their flexible price plan as a means of reducing production and surpluses. Unfor- tunately, the program produced the opposite effect. Governmental] in- vestment in agricultural surplus had increased to $8.9 billion by the beginning of 1956. Farm income has declined from over $17 billion under the Democrats to $10.6 bil- lion in 1955. The farmer has been caught in the middle between the increase in prices paid and the de- cline in prices received. The re- cent passage (with Republican farm votes!) of the new farm bill, embodying rigid price support, con- firms the failure of the Administra- tion’s farm program. The Admin- istration’s last-minute advocation of the “soil bank” plan is actually an adoption of a Democratic pro- posal made last year. There is nothing strange about the sudden “soil bank” switch: The Republican Party has not forgotten that this is an election year. In the field of foreign affairs, the Administration has pursued a policy of slogans and blunders. We were go:ng to “Unleash Chiang”; there was talk of liberation of the satellite peoples; we were brought “Three times to the brink of war”; our Secretary of State makes good- will missions to India and yet calls Goa a “Portuguese province.” The present Secretary of State seems to have a knack for antagonizing our allies and confusing the issues at home (e.g.—his interpretation of the Russian change in policy as a sign of Soviet weakness and Western triumph). The U.S. has lost prestige in all parts of the world. Even one of our allies, the French government, has decided it is time-to start talk- ing back to the’ U.S. There has been no consistent overall foreign policy on the part of the United States.. All decisions have been made from the viewpoint of imme- diate expediency—from problem to “problem. We have the current Middle East crisis before us as an example. There is no firm leader- The State Department reversed its pol- icy twice in two days with regard ‘ce tank shipment to the Middle East. Instead of putting forth concrete measures to combat the new Soviet line, the Administration has attrib- uted the change to a failure of Soviet policy, although Russia ty V As Issues : seems to be winning new friends every day. While the Administra- tion has continued with NATO and other policies formulated under the Democrats, its own few concrete measures, such as the U.S.-spon- sored Baghdad Pact, seem to have a divisive rather than unifying in- tluence upon our allies and friends (e.g.—the tension between India ahd Pakistan over the Pact). Al- though we realize that no one po- litical party can be blamed for the international problems of the world, we feel that during the past three and a half years, the U.S. has displayed little skilled leader- ship;—presénted «no~-wellthought out or well-defined policy in for- eign affairs, but has rather resort- ed to improvisation when an emer- gency has risen. In the disposition of natural re- sources and public power, the gov- ernment has treated the situation with a bias favoring private inter- ests ‘rather than the national inter- est.

These topics will be dis- cussed by the college in hall meet- ings. Jane White, president of Under- grad, opened the meeting by ex- plaining the various functions of Undergrad and the significance and power of Legislature. Arguments for making the Cur- riculum Committee- chairman a member of the Undergrad board were presented along with three possible methods of election. Since Undergrad deals with all material affecting undergraduate life, the chairman’ would have access to channels.not otherwise open to her. It was stressed that the Curric- ulum Committee is not autonomous but is already a sisi of Under- grad. The method of election first pro- posed was a retention of the status quo, whereby the chairman is elect- ed by the members of the commit- tee. The second suggestion was to change the system by having a college-elected chairman. The com- mittee would submit a slate of eight nominees to the junior class, who would narrow it down to four; these candidates ,would write state- ments. A compromise between the two would be to have the commit- tee nominate eight candidates, who would then be voted for by the sophomore and. junior classes. © The proposed Undergrad advis- ory board was next discussed. This board, as was explained in last week’s News, would consist of hall- ‘elected representatives.

Carpenter Lectures On Art And Vision “Artistic Form and the Physiol- ogy of Vision” was the topic which Dr. Rhys Carpenter considered when he spoke Thursday evening under the sponsorship of the -Phi- losophy Club. Dr. Carpenter was a member of the Bryn Mawr faculty for 43 years until his retirement a year ago. He termed his lecture an ele- mentary one which should ideally precede two lectures devoted to the study of painting and sculpture. Illustrating his talk with slides, he discussed the idea that the way we see crucially determines what we see. The structure of the eye, and the..unknown...things that happen “between the eye and the brain,” he explained, enable us to “see a world in space.” The ways in which we view painting and sculp- ture demand different physiological and psychological processes, both of which give a “flat world” spa- cial dimension. Minor changes in the election}. Alumnae Council Begins Meetings The Bryn Mawr Alumnae Coun- cil meeting is being held on the Bryn Mawr campus from April 18- 20. The session opened this after- noon with welcoming addresses and a report of the councillors from each alumnae district. : Thursday morning, a panel will be held. on ‘“‘Resources—Past, Pres- ent, and Future.” In the afternoon a panel presided over by Dean Marshall, and consisting of Mf. Berliner, professor of chemistry, Jane Cauvel, representing the Graduate School, and Jane Keator, representing the undergraduates, will discuss the current study of the size of the college. Thursday evening, a dinner will be held in honor of President Mc- Bride. Alumnae are invited to at- tend all meetings. informal Dance Held By Rhoads Friday the thirteenth brought no bad luck to.inhabitants of Rhoads Hall, who were entertained at an informal dance in the hall, from 9 to 1. Their guests included members of several graduate and undergraduate fraternities from Penn, one from Lehigh, and one club from Princeton. The couples danced to the music of John Whitaker’s band. Punch and doughnuts were served in one of the showcases. The Rhoads Quartet — Mitzi Wiseman, Ellie HClymer, Joyéé Cushmore, and Bar- bara Mitnick—sang. The party was arranged by Jane Rouillion and Betsy Miller, Rhoads’ “social chairmen.” Directions for reaching the Rhoads farm—drive (or walk). up Roberts Road to Ithan Ave- nue and then turn right to Clyde Road. The farm is at the corner of Ithan and Clyde. a Financial Boom and Adelaide M. Miller Adlai Stevenson remarked that it was fitting that Eisenhower should run for a second term as he was the best equipped to represent and defend the policies of the last three years. This, in a sense, is true, for a Party in power most reasonably attempts to stay that way by pointing out and standing upon the achievements of its ad- ministration. One would not ex- pect any new and radical changes in ‘Republican policy at this junc- ture for one does not sensibly change idéas in the middle of a sentence, and sa the Republican Platform for the coming election can be accurately predicted by look- ing at the record books. The old slogan “Peace and Pros- perity” is a magnetic drawing card, and the. Eisenhower Admin- istration can and will use it. The Korean War ended in the summer of ’53, less than a year after Eis- enhower’s election, and American soldiers~have-not--been..engaged in any large scale fighting since then. These efforts in Korea and Eisen- hower’s trip to Geneva have won him a reputation in Asia as a man who works for world peace. Gen- erally, officials of Allied govern- ments welcomed the Eisenhower decision as removing uncertainty about the immediate future in America. The rest of the world is so intimately tied to the U. S. that the slightest disturbance in Amer- 11957, with Eisenhower ica has an impact on nearly every nation. Economically, the country is booming. The stock market is at an all time high, and the govern- ment in order to guard this level of prosperity has instigated a ser- ies of monetary checks and balanc- es, for example raising the interest rates on government loans. “In in office there again will be the prospect of an even higher level of business because an Eisenhower Adminis- tretion is regarded by businessmen as a friendly administration. Ex- perience suggests that business- men, when freed from worry about Government attitudes that are un- friendly, are more ready to push ahead with large-scale investment It is business investment jin new facilities that sets the tone for business generally. The Democrats will, of course, bring up the “farm problem”, and point to the fact that the farmer’s income is shaking as a result of the administration’s stand on farr supports. The Republicans believe, however, that the intelligent ob- server cannot help but see that no country in the world is rich enough to encourage overproduction, pay for it and store it. They realize the truth in the age-old argument that individual initiative is not helped when one section of the population is supported by the rest. The most important problem of the Administration is to work off ow surpluses so that the basic progran of 1954 can.succeed_.in—gearing- production to prospective market; at fair prices. The Republican: have the’ sound and essential prin- ciple of using price flexibility tc help keep commodity supplies ir | balance with markets. The recent case of Miss Lucy at the University of . Alabama has brought the question of segrega- tion to the fore, and, perhaps,: the much publicized Supreme Court ruling has overshadowed the poli-|- | cies of the Administration. By Ginger Carroll, Alison Cragin | Republicans Praise Administration; | Eisenhower Favored As Candidate Practical Farm And Anti-Segregation Policies, And Prosperity | Cited As Praiseworthy have been both middle-of-the-road and positive, attempting to work through the Southerners’ them- selves, so that, with their coopera- tion the solution may come peace- ably and without bitterness} a course of action markedly different from the super-idealistic stand one of the wings of the Democra The success of the Administration’s tactics can be seen both at Colburn and the University of Texas, where Negro students have been admitted peaceably. It is interesting for students to note here that the Democrats have supported. Eisenhower—only—when expedient. For example, besides killing the program for highway expansion and improvements, they also voted against aid to education ‘through school construction and grants to needy districts, this last an interesting point especially if one has heard statements made by professors on this campus in regard to the serious state of the present, country-wide educational facilities. Both Kefauver and Stevenson have made-it-clear that. Eisenhow- er’s health will be a campaign is- sue. It is, of course, impossible to say definitely that the President would be physically able to com- plete another four years in office, but it has been obvious that Eisen- hower is deeply imbued with a sense of duty and’ responsibility, something which would prevent him from any undertaking when he had the least doubt as to his capac- ity for fulfilling it properly. De- spite this, the question of Nixon’s position has naturally assumed a new importance. Whether or not he will receive the vice-presiden- tial nomination must be decided by public opinion and the convention. It should be noted, though, that Nixon has done more in this capac- ity than any vice-president before him and that he has the uWfailing support, respect and trust of Eis- enhower. ‘ - That the world has confidence in Eisenhower has been eloquently shown both through the Gallup Polls and, more important, at the Continyed on Page 6, Col. 3 Amram And Hewitt Win WUS Awards The World University Service, an international organization, has offered to two Bryn Mawr students, Ellie Amram and Sylvia, Hewitt, the opportunity to go to Europe to study university ,conditions in Communist and Fas¢ist countries. Ellie, a Russian major, applied in hopes of going to Russia, but was accepted instead for Yugo- slavia, no American students being accepted for Russia. She has de- cided not to accept. Sylvia will go’ to Germany to study university conditions, i.e., methods of teaching, subjects. taught, physical layout and equip- ment. After she has studied Ger- man universities for a certain num- Pher“of weeks, she will confer with other students who have been dele- gated to other countries, to com- pare their observations. When Sylvia returns to America she is under obligation to give re- ports, and to speak to community groups. “This will. be a rare and exciting opportunity to meet with students. of countries under Fascist domina- tion,” said Sylvia. . In all, there are only four Amer- These icans chosen for the expedition. ’ Ne Self-Gov gave reports THE COLLEGE NEWS Wednesday, April 18, 1956 All-College Assembly Features Reports By Leaders Of Self-Gov And Undergrad An all-college assembly was held April 11 in Goodhart, at which rep- resentatives of Undergrad and on this ‘year’s progress and next year’s plans. Sarah Stifler opened the meeting by defending the need for such all-college assemblies: Under- grad is responsible to the whole student body, and only when each student is well-informed will she be able to express her views intel- ligently and effectively. Undergraa is anxious to guide its-activities by the temper of campus opinion.

Self~Gov has dealt with a small number of cases this year, and feels that there is a strong sense of _ responsibility among Bryn Mawr students. Sarah Stifler briefly outlined the work of college clubs and commit- tees this year, mentioning the im- portant but often overlooked ac- tivities of the Foreign Students’, Vocational, and Curriculum Com- mittees. The board’s duties have ranged recently from dealing with the problem of new announcers’ tags in the halls to the building of a Coffee-House on campus.

Of Alexander Frye Civil Rights Topic | Alexander Frye, head of the Philadelphia Branch of the Amer- ican Civil Liberties Union, discuss- ed “Civil Liberties if a Free En- terprise Democracy” at an Alliance Board meeting Thursday, April T2. Mr. Frye discussed the aims of democracy and the application of the Bill of Rights to their achieve- ment, These aims were maximum freedom. for-the individual, consist- ent with. like freedom for every other member of the gtoup, and a decent level of subsistence for all, through free enterprise, with each individual making his own econom- ic decisions. The Bill of Rights provides citi- zens with three classes of free- doms: protection of government of and by the people, protection of . government for all the people, and protection of the personal position of each individual, giving him a right-to-be-treated according to the dignity with which he was born. In concluding, Mr. Frye spoke in defense of fanaticism, which, in! holding up the extremes, leads to! the establishment of a moderate agreement. Mr. Frye classified himself ag a Abbey Players The Abbey Players’ next produc- tion, The Rainmaker, will be given on April 19, 20, 21, 27, and 28.

The world was be- coming modern. For exampie, drama.. The &ol- lege News of March 23, 1916, re- ports: “*The drama,’ ‘said Mr. Law- rence Housman Saturday evening in his lecture on ‘The Moral and Immoral Influence of the Drama,” ‘has shifted from the plastic to the pictorial ... The fault of the modern drama,’ he said, ‘is that it over-visualizes in the direction of illusion,-andl under-mentalizes.._ It is mere pictorial chatter; we think too little and. see too much. Dra- matic reality creates its own illu- sion; modern scenery chucks it at your head at so much per yard’.” What would the distinguished Mr. Housman think of “Cinema- scope ’65?” Another example, art: “In the south corridor of the Library there are some photographs of work of the new movement called Futur- ism. The purpose of the new art is..t6_getaway.from.the past—ef- forts at exact representation to something more abstract. The art- ist attempts to give his emotion in looking at a certain object and un- less you experience the same emo- tion you do not get out of the pic- ture all that the artist intended you. to,” (That’s a sentence?) “These artists attempt to give you the most striking thing, the most important place, without regard for the logical order,” says The College News. of. April,13,.1916; Sounds like the —- of so- called “modern art.” Revolutionary, no? Reed Discusses Causes And Factors Involved In The ‘Southern Revolution” Dr. Ira Reed, Professor of Soci- ology at Haverford College and editor of “The Annals of Ameri- gan Political and Social Thought,” delivered the Current Events lec- ture Monday night in the Common Room. His subject ‘was the Social Revolution in the South. The lec- ture was followed by a period of discussion. Everyone, according to Dr. Reed, tends to live in a real, “lived-in” world and at the same time in an ideal, “thought-of” world. Even- tually, these two worlds come to- gether and a decision must be made between them. The South has liv- ed in a real world of segregation and in an ideal world of democ- racy. Forced now to choose be- tween two opposing concepts, a crisis and a type of trauma has resulted. There are three ways of dealing withthe problem between white and colored people. One is migra- tion. -In the late 19th century, Ne- groes moved to. the west of the U.S., and between 1913 and 191 to the north. Physical violence in the form of lynchings and barbar- ous riots is recorded also. The third and most desirable type of action is a conciliatory one of at- tempting to solve the problem with mutual understanding and common motives and aims. This attempt is ‘peiny made now.

The lib- eral views of the urban counties are often overridden by the “less sophisticated and __ traditionally more hostile attitudes of rural counties (often exceeding urban ones in number). In addition, the segregation problem is a political issue. No one likes to take a stand on it be- cause of the strong reaction in- volved in “sideing.” ‘Vested inter- est is also a problem. The issue has social and economic implica- tions. People hate to see a deci- sion made which will involve a re- ordering’ of their lives. Dr. Reed‘ referred to the present situation in the south as a “quiet revolution.” People are being forc- ed to modify their old ways. It is inevitable that a crisis should arise in the face of such. demands for change—for adjustment and read- justment. Heritage and tradition are being fought as well as the factor of race per se. Every crisis has confusion, and penalties are paid. This is happening in the south now. The crisis is in the hands of indiivduals, not of the government. Those who want to educate peo- ole to the idea of integration can appeal best to their sense of right or of God, and to their fear of the esteem of other nations which would be lost through the contin- ued practice of segregation. Panelists Discuss Science Education Continued from Page 1 cate these youth. Mr. Smith told the audience the lesson he learned in his years of teaching. A consuming interest in the subject does not qualify one to be a teacher of high school science, for in this situation one is dealing with personalties rather than sub- ject matter. The challenge is to communicate with the students as individuals—“to put the gleam in their eyes”. Miss Lehr cited the teaching di- lemma: how to get students to dis- cover what their contemporaries. know already and then to move ahead. They must stand firmly on the “giant’s shoulders” without falling into the pitfalls of their forefathers, There are always job opportuni- ties for a good, qualified teacher of science in the secondary schools, said Dr. Michels. He also wished to dispel three misunderstandings of science aplpicable not only in secondary education. First, science is not theology. The laws of na- ture are not sitting around wait- ing to be discovered, but are the works of mankind. Second, not every scientist need be a genius, for great steps were made possible only because of a great deal of | solid work. And third, the “great American idea” that the only way to learn about something is to take a course in it is a fallacy.

The segregation issue is one that transcends party lines. Al- though there is obvious Southern Democratic opposition to desegre- gration, we feel sure that the Dem- ocratic Presidential candidate, whoever he, may be, will support the Supreme Court decision. The Democratic Party’s recent record in the field of civil rights has been good. Mr. Truman, in his fight for FEPC, certainly showed more lead- ership than Mr. Eisenhower. We come finally to the issue of the President’s health. That it is an issue’ cannot be disputed, for Mr. Eisenhower has made it so himself in his explanation of what functions he intends to assume and refrain from, if. re-elected. Forced to observe certain limitations im- posed by his health, the President will have to delegate many of his powers and duties. Under such conditions, we cannot conceivably have a full-time president, which is what the American people have been electing up till now. We see tion here. There has been little enough firm leadership during the past three and a half years. Ac- cording to James Reston of the N.Y. Times, the President has spent one third of his presidential term.away.from-Washington. That" is a lot of time for any man to spend away from his job (college professors excluded, of course).

Lawrence’s sub- ject was the state of the democratic party in Pennsylvania and in the country. The Mayor informed his listen- ers that the party had -made'tre- mendous gains in the past few years, beginning after the Eisen- hower landslide of 1952. The Dem- ocrats, besides winning both hous- es of Congress, had captured many governorships and. mayoralties. After taking a strong stand in favor of Stevenson, Lawrence pointed out that “peace and pros- perity” is not universal throughout the country. Besides the well known problems of the farmers, small businesses have suffered, while large corporations have realized immense profits. There was a 27 per cent increase in corporation profits during the last year (part- ly the result of the decrease in cor- poration taxes), whilé wages rose In addition, the number of small businesses which have been declaxed bankrupt during the past year is larger than usual. ‘Lawrence spoke of the personal popularity of Eisenhower, which, he, felt.,.cauld -he overcome .hby..Ste- venson’s political ability, tact, and integrity.
