Berlioz, Liszt, and Wagner. “Church music and art music had definitely parted company.” The oratorios no long- er had anything in common with the church, They were performed in concert halls. “The Protestants and Catholics vied with each other in purifying church music until it became lily-white and unpalat- able.” The only decent music was written by a converted Jew, Felix Challenge Excites Prompt Responses The Challenge meeting on Southern integration covered in last ;week’s issue of the News has resulted in “a wave of concern... finding immediate, active expres- sion... on campus after campus in the North,” according to a front page report in Sunday’s New York Times. “Informal organizations have sprung up in the last ten days at a score of colleges and universities .. Many of these have gone into action within forty-eight hours.” This action, to demonstrate sup- port and sympathy for Negroes protesting segregation by means of sit-ins at chain-store lunch counters in the South, has taken, the form of rallies, fund-raising campaigns, and picket-lines. Student. movements at Vassar, Smith, and Bennington have sprung up as a direct result of the Yale meeting. Girls from all three schools, each unaware of the oth- er institutions’ plans, marched with signs of protest in the area of their local Woolworth stores on Thursday afternoon and evening. At the Challenge Paul DuBrul of the N.S.A. and Allard Lowenstein, a New York lawyer: just back from Alabama, explained the issues and urged ac- tion. Immediately after, the 15 Vassar girls who had attended arranged a civil rights rally at which Herbert Hill, labor secre- tary of the N.A.A.C.P. and Mr. DuBrul spoke. Of the 150 girls present at the rally “practically the entire audience” agreed to picket. Signs of protest read “Don’t Buy from Woolworth—it discrim- imates in the South.” The girls also passed out. 1200 leaflets in a period of about four hours on Continued on Page 5, Col. 1 i NOTICE The News would like to note its appreciation and thanks to.

The organ music composed for the church was mis- erable, With the notable exception of Brahms. The Sicilian movement toward archaic, remote, international church music was taken up by Catholics and Protestants all over the world. Its devotees, however, failed to. realize that all past church music had been in the fore- front of musical development, and that national characteristics had not been excluded. Today’s divine service is based on a respect for tradition, rather than a respect for God. The church music has become “music at a divine service rather than music of a divine service.’ We cannot go back to the Gregorian chant. “We have lost all sense and feeling for pure melody unaccompanied by harmony.” ‘Contemporary church music should have a self-evident attitude which is -only possible when the composer. is of his time and of his environment. An Amer- ican composer should put his own personality, belief, and honesty in his compositions, and keep a re- gard for liturgical requirements in order to produce good church mu- sic, Objectivity in church music is, then, a contradiction in terms.

In the course of his lecture, Mr. Trypanis read several selections from the work itself, Oedipus at Colonus, written in Sophocles’ eightieth year, provides a personal and intimate look at the relationship between Oedipus and his sons, The plot itself, which had always interested Soph- ocles as evidenced by the earlier Oedipus Rex, was taken from a local myth. In the hands of this great tragedian, it ‘became a “drama of emotions through which the central hero must pass, through which he fulfills his-destiny, and fulfills himself.” Sophocles has rejected the tra- ditional theme of Greek drama, the ideals of justifying the gods, and has shifted the emphasis of the play from the universal to the individual, in particular to the in- of Oedipus. The agony of a Soph- oclean character is essential, and Oedipus is the greatest of Soph- ocles’ heroes. It was a traditional belief in Greek religion and Greek tragedy that the evil powers can lead a man unwittingly to violate the world order and punish him for that violation.

But/I don’t really have to attentive, everybody in and around Bryn Mawr College was there tonight. Anyway, these are the facts: Goodhart was full, and everybody seemed really pleased. Why? Oh, well . .., we saw a poet in flesh and blood, and a real poet, by general agreement. But, besides that, I think we liked the performance of a witty man, who was willing to make us enjoy his wittiness. It may be something we miss in this overmechanized and oversophisticated world: the straight, simple exhibit of a hu- man mind. His _ talking is-so--casual—did you notice his introducing any an- ecdote with “Someone said to me . and I said... .”, or “I happen- ed to think recently .. .” and yet so extremely thought over. He repeated some of his points, and some’ of them several times, evi- dently because he thought they were crucial, and so it happened that they really stuck in our minds, Everyone of us will prob- ably keep for himself the ones which impressed him most: we practically will keep them among the “senten- tiae”’ which accompany our lives; discussion | go through their paces. by Kristine Gilmartin - There certainly is no business like show business, and the Maids and Porters with the aid of the sophomores magnificently proved this in Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun, presented March 19 in Goodhart, The tremendous han- dicaps inherent in an ambitious show given after only a week of rehearsals onstage were quite successfully overcome by a “Let’s go on with the show” feeling.

Hoenigswald im the Class of 1902 Lecture “Speakers, Analysts, and Antiquarians,” given on Thursday evening in the Ely Room. (Mr. Hoenigswald is Profes- sor of Linguistics. at the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania and author of the recent Change and Linguistic Reconstruc- tion, Comparative linguistics is only a little more than 150 years old. It was begun in the Germanic countries and is even younger in The term itself was coined by Schlegel but does not have the same connota- tion that the “comparative” in '“comparative anatomy” does. The early philologists did not work with the desire to find out more about languages. They rather wanted. to delve more deeeply into a language with a view to tracing its past history. The discovery of Sanskrit in the last decades of the 18th cen- tury led to the use of. languages as a key to ancient civilizations. 4 This was the field of study of the 19th century philologists. Their field was, in fact, limited to Indq- European languages, to the discov- ery of the true relationships of languages. such as Latin and Greek and to the reconstruction of languages from which present day tongues are descended. In America today, the linguists have formed a fortunate bond with the anthropologists. The philologists try to base their conclusions wherever poss- ible on speech because as the great Indian scholars believed, “writing is an abuse of language.” Even more preferable is an idiolect, the Continued on Page 5, Col. 5 NOTICE Meeting to discuss the cur- were very fine, and “Miss (Randall | in her duets with James Short dis- play a lovely voice and good ued on Page 5, Col. 2 tegration -and-possibly to organ-_ ize action, tonight, Wednesday, March 28, Pem East Showcase. book, Language.

In fact, a glance at a newspaper is need- ed for word of the uprising which suddenly, quietly, irrevo- sably has swept the nation. Spearheaded by nine Negro students sitting-in at “an Alabama lunch counter, the revolution for integration and equal rights has been vement ‘is* to have students write to their congressman (on “oldwater’s. advice not. to.

Mr. Thompsop began by saying that the series of events between the two world wars called for a re-evaluation of our international goals. Action was realized in two respects, namely the world organ- ization of. the UN and a world court of law. But he went on to say that “we are now facing a new aspect of American respon- sibility.’ (We must form a clear, effective image of our role and what our: aims must be;.we must not only understand our national values and goals but find our po- sition in a world where there is no set of values, The United States has been less successful in realiz- ing particular punposes than in setting large goals; as a result we are criticized for the large gap between what we say and what we do. “We must now mark our eth- ical guidelines and moral purposes that we actively attempt to real- ize in our foreign policy,” Mr. Thompson said. America is superficially sensi- tive to ethical purposes, but its ethical doctrines are premature and insufficient. There are no means to ends, or else the means are misplaced. Thisis—the—heart of the question of whether our means further or corrupt our in- tended ends. Another aspect of ethical poli- cies is that the taint of. self-inter- est is always present. A nation is a collective interest, a great aggregate, with big business, la- bor, etc., and in such a society. the individual channels his frustrated ambitions into a collectivism to secure his identity with the nation- al group. So-he accepts the prop- osition that his community is morally autonomous, and _ that whatever is good for his state is morally right. Objectively the formers of for- eign policy must face certain real- ities.. Moral judgments here are Frost Reading Continued from Page 1, Col. 5 it is a really valuable approach to life, it is a magnanimity as dis- tinguished from tolerance, and we feel his personality even beyond his ambiguity. “It is from hav- ing stood contrasted / That good and bad so long have lasted.” Now that I have heard him say- ing that poetry for him is based on feats of association, I go back to his poems and find confirmed that impression of dynamics that I got at first readimg it. The conception of the ~Poet whose poems I had read and that of the (Man I heard talking fit very well into each other, and the same integrity“ and —sincerity- which I think a basic quality in his poetry struck me tonight as a human quality of the person Frost. “There’s more poetry outside of the institution of verse, than there is inside.” He repeated this sen- tence several times. A doubt comes to my mind: Did I like him because he gave me an opportun- ity to be something of a poet, al- though definitely “outside of the institution?” . . swell, it may even be so,.I don’t know, but certainly complicated by three aspects that Mr. Thompson called process, problem, and dimensions. First is the inevitable complexity of the machinery of democracy. There is the massive diffusion of policy and action, influenced by the tides of. public opinion, personalities in the government and the legisla- ture. These complications »make a firm judgment almost imposs- ible. Then there are the problems, the issues themselves. Decisions must be made quickly and the is- sues are often specific practical ones far removed from moral ques- tions. At this time it is vital to make a rediscovery of our moral pur- pose. Mr. Thompson defined four spheres im which ethics have a role to play. First is the domain of the individual. More and more we are victims of national confor- mity. Human qualities: such as courage, leadership, professional- ism, and resourcefulness must be revitalized, Secondly, ethics must be more fully enforced in the do- main of national life, in our com- bined society of liberal democratic traditions and Judeo-Christian principles. A third area where ethics must be rediscovered is in our national attitude, and our sense of reality concerning international politics. There must be a point of congru- ence betwen political realism and a sense of moral commitment. Finally, there must be a respon- sible evaluation of our destiny in world politics. The ‘burden of moral judgment must be felt by individuals, who must act more strongly wpon the state,._For—in reality the state can act only as individuals influence it and prompt 2 Continued from Page 2, Col. 5 you see wonderful things that don’t exist on earth—double berries, triple berries.

Maybe an average of lies will give you the truth. “In my poem, ‘The mountain,’ there’s not a word re-written. And then there is such a thing as pull- ing, hauling, and fussing around. What a wonderful thing it is to see a complicated stanza struck out. You’d think it would. scare the poet from anything further. You need inspiration; I call it ‘animus.’ “Writing a poem is an adven- ture, I deny that I know the end.

In the recent outbreak “for the first time the past stood up of its own accord in the light of: Neo- Nazism and anti-Semitic incidents and the German people, confronted with the past, recognized the dis- play of the Swastika as a punish- able offense. “Things have gotten better than we could have expected in 1945.” The German people have accepted democracy “as a fine confirmation of the new state and political feel- ing.” From the beginning the Weimar Republic was under siege from the right and the left, the Nazis and the Communists. There was competition for dictatorial power of Germany that spelled the ruin of the first German republic. After the war the threat of Communist dictatorship. eclipsed the memory of Hitler. Some peo- ple said “Hitler saw the Commun- ist dangers before the others” and they blamed the Allies for not} stopping the Communists’ expan- sion. In a condemnation of Com- munist totalitarianism, they for- got Hitler’s variation of it. Today there is a totally differ- ent situation. “Defeat in the war was total and apparent. Absolute- ly no one dreams of a second re-| a a democracy, “it is pretty confus-| turn match., The Germans have had enough of totalitarianism. Democracy has been accepted by the German people, perhaps not with complete understanding, but without controversy. The new eleven-year-old republic has prof- ited from the lessons of Weimar.” Election participation shows the interest of the German in his gov- ernment: in 1949, 60% voted for the two big parties (the govern- ment and the opposition); in 1958, more than 70%; and in 1957, 82%. I was happy for a very special reason; for am intellectual emo- tion which I felt and believe I was‘ not the only one to feel... Almost 88% of the people vote. | ~The democratic ~ consolidation was helped by the economic pros- " Attitudes the materialistic attitude of the new generation has driven Mrs. ‘Leber to despair, she realized that economic success had: some educa- tional values; it killed the idea that “only the strong arm of a strong man could rid the people of economic bondage.” There is an approach to sober political wisdom. The people must arm themselves against the threat of Communism, against the Com- munists of East Germany who at one point “masquerade as anti- Nazis and call for reunification” and at another point for the op- posite. “The people have developed an instinctive solidarity for the Western world which contributes to the soundness of our own dem- ocracy.” The development of. po- litical consciousness is in recog- nition of the resistance movement which offers a —, basis for a new start.” . The major problem. in ‘Gevnany today is that of the “new genera- tion.” The youth looks at poli- tics with skepticism and indiffer- ence; their elders neglected their -in the recent past. Because in the past half century Germany had lived under a mon- archy, a republic, a dictatorship, provisional occupation, and now ing. Many seek a firm hold in life in technical knowledge and technical careers rather than in politics. The youths have a mis- trust of their elders who made an unholy mess of things. But politica] abstinence does mot pre- clude political judgment. “Even the skepticism of our allied friends will prove a useful spurt to us in dealing with our Problems.” Expressing her grati- “tude as a citizen of Berlin, Mrs. Coffee with Frost . back, What do you go into a poem for? To see if you can get out. “Yeats always said that writing was a terrible torture for him, cost him sweat and blood. I don’t believe that. He just liked the agony pose. Some of my Freudian friends won’t believe that any- thing is written except in misery. That’s not true. It’s not facility, but felicity. You’re a thinking man, with many thoughts scatter- ed around. They. come together like a kaleidescope.” Asked which of his poems were his favorites, Mr. Frost said, “I don’t have favorites. All that are in the anthology have my approv- al, The one I like best is the one that has been excessively praised most recently. I hear about it, and think, well, that must be a pretty good poem, * “Other criticism that tears my poetry apart, may cost the critic about five minutes to write, but it costs me a lifetime of agony. No criticism has ever changed my writing or done me any good. “Someone once asked me if I was interested in language. Yes, in a queer, distant way. I never knew any word out of the diction- any; I’ve always learned it in con- text.” In the next question, Mr. Frost was asked if he thought the sum- mit conferences would get anyone anywhere. “All that talk. The one thing it might do is shake *¥down all the spirit until everyone is so tired they don’t want to scratch each other any mure. Bombs will go on the shelf the way germ warfare has, They are too dangerous; we'll go back to punching each other on the jaw.” Asked whether the poet should be a social critic; whether he had any responsibility to his own age, Mr. Frost said it was a hard ques- tion, “They pick you out for cer- tain things you’ve said. One an- thologist does it, and all the oth- ers follow after. “I wasn’t going to be one of those poets who make a virtue of political and historical education: having no one read them. I’ve never written or read any blurbs or reviews. I evaluate, but not on the platform. If you’re around me you'll know what poets I value. I was almost forty before I knew a single writer. Now I’ve gotten so I’m relieved when I get mad with someone so I don’t have to like his poetny any more. “You want songs like the ones they had in the Spartan army to chop people with. You want the poor babied until they’re no good. A thread of sentiment is about as near as you get. The poet is a master of sentiment. The post of poetry is on the brink of spiritual disaster.

One might query on what basis a man’s communist sidings disqualify him from holding a politica] point of view. Is Mr. Pauling advocating the violent overthrow of the gov- ernment of the United States to fulfill his initiation rites to the Communist party? Would the writer label Gandhi, Schweitzer, Russell, the Quakers, Amish and other religious sects and people Communists merely because they advocate disarmament, passive resistance and so forth? One might also query why, even if Mr. Pauling’s stand calling for disarmament on. a recognition of the immorality of war were at all Communistic, the Bulletin or any other publication of an institution which openly does not represent in theory or fact any specific political loyalties, should not print any article it chooses, and especially one~calling forthe preservation of human life and civilization. not political but spiritual.” In closing, Mr, Frost remarked that a lot had been left unsaid. “There are lots of loose ends. It’s like in the newspapers, where there are always loose ends. You try the weeklies to see if they finish things up, but they’re not any better.” NOTICE Student tickets for the Phoe- nix production fo Henry IV are available for performances from now through April 3.

Poll Taken on New Dorm Do you want a sink in your room, or a public room where non- smokers may study? Many people do, according to the poll recently taken by undergrad. It is difficult to measure in terms of exact numbers just what the campus feeling is on controversial sub- jects such as. quantity of singles as opposed to doubles, due to the fact that some dorms handed the individual baHots in while others tallied their own. It is also hard to ascertain the opinion about details, as people might have remarked on particulars such as window seats had they thought of them. Some definite student feeling was manifested, however. People are in favor of retaining Gothic architecture. (Many want some degree of built-in furniture, at least bookcases. Almost every- one remarked on the maid service, and many were in favor of de- creasing it, though few wanted meals served cafeteria style. An-' room on the first floor so that it can be used for dances, but most favor the second floor. High ceil- ings are still desired. People also want smokers on the second floor and more smoker space in general. Some favor convertible smokers, while others want livable show- cases, There were many _ miscellane- ous suggestions which were not general considerations. One per- son suggested vacuum cleaners for student tse, another suggest- ed more rugs om which to use them. Somene else suggested that basins have one faucet for mixed | hot and cold water. One person wants a freight elevator for lug- gage, while another suggests omitting fluorescent lighting. Many people are in favor of hav- ing five or six singles opening onto a large living room, and many want more low-priced suites and more triples.

It consisted of a Prelude and Fugue for String Orchestra, by Roy Harris, in its first performance of the revised version in Philadelphia (anything for a first), Rachmaninoff’s Sym- Phonic Dances, which provided a welcome showground for the Phil- adelphia winds, and Dukas’ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, an audierjce favorite which probably needs no comment, SUBURBAN HARDWARE Waste Baskets Clothes Racks ALL GADGETS 836 LANCASTER AVENUE BRYN MAWR, PA.

This can, of course, only be detect- ed by the analyst in speech, Mr. Hoenigswald attributes the present day decline in the field of linguistics to “the imability to preach effectively what, on the whole, was being practiced well.” People still know little about lan- guage in the abstract sense, but think that because they speak its words, they are experts on the subject. It is, however, “behind words that we seek and find what is truly important.” Oedipus Lecture Continued from Page 1, Col. 3 of sin, Sophocles doesn’t question the workings of the dark powers. He accepts them and presents his hero reacting to them. Oedipus maintains that he is not guilty according to the post-Sophist, sub- jective conception of guilt. He as- serts his own moral innocence. Sophocles has no religious message like that of Aeschylus. He rather offers a balanced pas- ’ sionate intensity and a warmth of personal experience which have contributed to his success in re- taining a place in modern theatre where both Aeschylus and Eurip- ides have failed.

The mediocrity in mass media is self-perpetuating, in that the public gets Westerns and by that very fact is.conditioned to want more of them, Education was ad- vanced as the panacea to break this vicious circle. Whether this education itself could be at. least partially effected through ‘mass media was discussed, but on the whole rather dubiously. Of course the question came up of value judgment in aesthetics. Who am I, or more commonly who are you to say that your taste is any more valid than another per- son’s?
