McBride Announces Increase Of Ten Percent In College Enrollment . At the opening assembly of Bryn Mawr’s 72nd academic year Presi- dent Katharine McBridé announced that the undergraduate school will increase by approximately ten per cent of its present enrollment, which is 631 undergraduates and over 167 graduate students. After welcoming the returning faculty members and announcing new appointments and courses, Miss McBride explained that the increase in enrollment will require additions to the present faculty, the completion of the Science Cen- ter, and a new residence hall for students. It is believed that a moderate increase can be made without los- ing the values of a small college where members of the college com- munity know each other and where the student’s individual interests can be respected. Miss McBride linked the coming changes to the serious need for additional oppor- tunity” for able students, both “in liberal and in professional educa- tion. Education will be in short supply as a result of two forces, Miss Mc- Bride said. The first is the in- crease in population and the second is the development of the profes- sions, industries and all the forces ” leading to increasing complexity in the demands of society on its mem- bers. “The special urgency of the pres- ent is that we prepare to educate greater numbers, recognizing that staff and facilities are limited and recognizing equally clearly that Juniors To Show Medieval Musical The juniors are not only present- ing the traditional musical, but also offering a panacea to all stu- dents suffering from various aca- demic ailments. The show is rec- ommended to all English majors struggling with Chaucer, to all mu- sicians fighting the elements of counterpoint, to all scholars of Me- dieval history, and to Mr. Le- Blanc’s logic students. One might think the Junior Show was an extension of Bryn Mawr’s educational program, but that. is not the case-at all. In presenting Pristina Perplexed or The Lady’s not. for Learning, the juniors, hav- ing reached their superior age and wisdom, are defining the utopia of education. The play is “a medieval immoral- ity play in terse verse.” With a production lavish, a cast of thou- sands and an unconventional kick chorus, the age of chivalry returns, with minstrels and knights, a clois- ter and a nun, romance, a hero and all but a dragon. Nothing has ri- valed the Junior Show since the middle ages. - Martha Bridge Aue ni Sede Kneen,. technical: director, Betty Vermey, music director.

The main advantage in increas- ing the sizd is that new faculty. members’ will permit the addition of-new work.. The danger lies in the threat to the respect for and interests of the individual and to the nature of the group within which the individual functions. In view of the needs and the shortages there are a multitude of jobs for the educated woman, who can fill vital positions by convert- ing what would otherwise be wast- ed time to valuable service.

By Martha Bridge Rudolf Serkin gave a piano re- cital last Friday evening as part of a program in commemoration of Thomas Mann, and the tribute paid jto the great author by Mr. Ser- kin’s performance was subtlely ap- propriate and satisfying. For, like Mann’s writing, Mr. Serkin’s play- ing is distinguished not only for its beautiful precision and thought- ful detail, but also for its illumi- nating imaginative freedom. ‘ Most immediately striking in Mr. Serkin’s performance was his tech- nical ‘sureness.. In .spite:of such handicaps as a squeaking pedal and the puzzling acoustical distortions of Goodhart Hall, his tone was clean and strong; his dynamic dis- tinctions were so varied in color that at times it was difficult for the listener to believe that only one instrument was being played. ‘ Mr. Serkin’s program began with three Impromptus by Schubert (Op. 142), compositions of decep- tive simplicity. Mr. Serkin wisely chose to play them simply and ly- rically, emphasizing the essentially vocal quality of Schubert’s melodic lines. Most’ surprising was the freshness:-which Mr. Serkin gave the familiar A flat: Impromptu through‘ his ‘intelligent use of the delicates contrasts in the Allegret- to mood. “The highlight of the concert was, however, Mr. Serkin’s performance of the Sonata in A flat, Op. 110, by Beethoven. Mr. Serkin brought to this work, one of the latest and most difficult of the piano sonatas, a thorough understanding of the rapid: dynamic transitions and the simultaneous contrasts in mood— almost'‘in ‘the nature of musical paradoxés—which are so character- istic of ‘Beethoven’s later period. In particular, the last movement of seemed to this reviewer an uncon- Continued.on Page 5, Col. 4 .. soe oe Re nsec EEL EA a ee ventional and irrational combina- Beethoven Sonata Chief Highlig In Serkin’s Piano Performance Friday this | sonata, which | had always ht tion of two. totally different move- ments, was clarified by Mr. Ser- kin’s playing. He played as though he-had a concept of the relation- ship of the Adagio, which produces the effect of a recitative and aria, to the Fuga, through the insistent chords which connect them. Under- lying the sweetly querulous line of the aria, the chords grow out of the bass and lead into the quiet theme of the fugue, which in turn builds higher and higher until it again emerges in those repeated chords. Mr. Serkin’s emphasis on the returning pattern succeeded in bringing to light the internal con- sistency of the musical idea. This reviewer was least’ impress- ed by Mr. Serkin’s furiously ro- mantic rendition of Schumann's Etudes Symphoniques, in which the performer’s deep sympathy with the composer brought out clearly the faults of the latter. Perhaps this, too,’is a tribute to Mr. Ser- kin’s honesty as a musician. At any rate, this was thorough-going Schumann, tender and sustained at times, intense and nervous almost to the point of percussiveness at others. Mr. Serkin’s stage presence was dramatic. His coat tails flying be- hind him, he not only played on the Steinway, he danced with it; he attacked the keyboard with fer- nity, of Mark Van Doren And Rudolf Serkin Appear In Commemoration Program for Thomas Mann Comedy Element In Mann’s Works Is Cited By Anna Kisselgoff and Helen Sagmaster The primarily comic quality of Thomas Mann’s “Joseph books” was the point emphasized by Mark Van Doren, Friday, in his lecture in commemoration of Mann. Mr. Van Doren suggested “A Comedy’ in Four Parts” as the subtitle for the work, Mr. Van Doren pointed out that Mann was preoccupied with the idea of time, almost to the extent of Proust. In the introduction to the work “Descent into Hell” (which Mr. Van. Doren said might be called “Descent into Time”), Mann calls forth the sense of eter- “no time at all.” This element of :timelessness is what makes possible the comic situation; time, light, and talk are the back- bone of comedy. Tragedy’ 8 essence, "lon the other hand, is the pressure of time, which causes failure of wisdom. That comedy “takes. its time” is true literally here, for Mann has extended a 20-page Bible story to eleven hundred pages, filling the interstices of the original with de- scriptive and narrative material. In doing so, Mann has brought out the complexities in Joseph’s character—the complexities which prevented him from joining the solemn group of the fathers of his race. Mann does not considér Jo- seph perfect; although endowed with charm, beauty, and wit, he commits the sin of folly, “the only sin which comedy is designed to deal with.” Joseph interests the comic spirit of Mann as an intel- ligent being, in some ways blind. He cannot see, for example, the difference in temperament between himself and his father, Jacob. He is terribly vain too, and thus cre- ates one of Mann’s main problems in a sympathetic presentation of the character. The author’s love and under- standing of Joseph render his folly harmless, and in the same breath as he mocks his character “because he is not God,” Mann adores him. Joseph is, in his father’s words, “no spiritual prince... but a worldly one.” It is Mann’s deep understanding of Joseph which al- lows him to treat his creation in the form of comedy.

Our Candidate Before reaching the decision, announced in this week’s editorial, to support a candidate for the Presidency of the United States, the News board felt that it must answer sat- isfactorily two questions. The first of these was whether or not the only newspaper on a college campus could fairly take such a partisan stand; the second, could the board, which is split on almost. all political issues, agree on a candidate? It was decided that it would be more provocative, and more fun, to frankly support a candidate than to spend a great deal of time explaining why we were not doing so. After all, students disagreeing with the stand taken by the News could easily find their own viewpoint set forth in Life or the New: York Post. To feei that by supporting: a ctandidate’ the News is giving students a “one-sided” view of the cam- paign is rather over-estimating our own influence, to say at least. As an independent campus newspaper, whose pol- icies are decided completely by the six-member board, we feel that a partisan political stand is justified. However, it is our intention to cover the campaign impartially. The ques- tion of whom to support was not so difficult as it had been first imagined; three members of the board were wholeheart- edly agreed on a candidate; the other three acquiesced with varying degrees of enthusiasm. The candidate: Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois. Our sup- port for Mr. Stevenson is based on the following beliefs: that Mr, Stevenson has proven himself an able administrat- or, a clear and profound thinker on political problems, and a man of integrity and sensitivity; that Mr. Eisenhower as President has shown disinclination to develop the bold lib- eral political programs needed in these times, and an unwill- ingness to use effectively his power, both political and-per- sonal, in his relations with his executive subordinates, Con- gress, and the people of the United States; that the Demo- cratic Party has shown a grasp of the complexity of both foreign and domestic affairs, and a willingness to create new programs and to take action to achieve them; that the Re- publican Party, in the past three and one-half years, has shown a lack of understanding of foreign affairs under the inept management of John Foster Dulles, and in domestic affairs has backtracked in some fields, notably conservation, and in general has shown little initiative in solving the great problems of education, housing and unemployment. In short, we feel that both Stevenson and the Democratic Party are better: suited for leadership today than are Mr. Eisenhower and the Republican Party. We are both “for” Stevenson and “against” Eisenhower (as President). In the weeks remaining before November 6 we will dis- cuss the election in greater detail, but it is our conviction that the most important issues of the campaign are those of foreign affairs (where the Eisenhower Administration’s positions from the Suez and the Middle East crises to the fa En of defining “neutrals,” have been uncertain and un- successful in maintaining American leadership throughout the world) ; civil bonis ti (where Eisenhower’s failure to take a strong stand in favor of the Supreme Court decision on segregation was a great waste of his tremendous personal|; popularity), and “assorted domestic issues” as the farm crisis, co servation and the problems of the small business- men.

Nevertholens, it Eannst be ignored | catct that the bo Piesideats physical limitations have caused him to turn over a great deal of his responsibilities to the men - around him, and we think that in the future he will have to continue to do so. We do not like the men around Eisen- hower: Sherman Adams, Papas Basi age or Vice-President Nixon, and since Eisenh numerous instances pro- -fesses not to know how his subordinates have exercised their duties, we think that it is quite legitimate for us to question —* and motives of the Cabinet and Presidential. advis- “eg Atte ydisouas the @ campaign, we shall feel free to criti- both Mr, op carting Mr. Stevenson; there are so far of which we dis- ent, the problem is not who]. fill the awesome burdens and which party n and the gay, + ; Drexel Biddle, is not as forcible as THE HAPPIEST Life With Father was very suc- cesSful: wher it ran on Broadway several years ago. The people in charge of The Happiest Millionaire must have had that in mind when they produced their play, for the plot of the newer comedy is also built around the«character of a rich, likeable and admirable eccen- tric. Unfortunately, the play about the eminent Philadelphian, Mr. the one which introduced Mr. Day to the theatregoer. Mr. Biddle does not have all of Clarence Day’s vig- or and independence; in addition, the play sometimes weakens the impact of.his personality still fur- ther by descending into over-senti- mentality. Fortunately for the pa a however, The Happiest Millionaire is still an enjoyable comedy. The acting in every role is excellent, the performers overcoming the dis- advantages of the play by making the awkward lines seem fairly nat- ural, at least at the moment of-be- ing’ spoken. The central plot situa- tion (the romantic tribulations of the daughter of the clan and the father’s adjustment to her ro-| mance) makes an_ interesting framework to the presentation of the Philadelphia family. Walter Pidgeon, as Mr. Anthony J... Drexel] Biddle, plays-his---vele with vigor, enthusiasm, and an in- credible amount of energy. Mar- garet Barker portrays his wife with talent; Mrs, Biddle’s ability to maintain humor and stability as well as her own personality while living with a man like Mr. Biddle shows her to be a warm and intel- ligent person. Mr. Biddle’s alliga- tors in the conservatory (real alli- gators make a brief appearance on stage) his addiction to boxing, and his prize-fighting friends at formal dinner on Walnut Street would be a trial to any wife.

Rupen, Associate Professor of Political Science, in his discus- sion of the Soviet Union. Having recently returned from a tour of that country, Mr. Rupen named the apathy toward Communist doc- trine as the major impression. of his 35 days in the U.S.S.R. The speakér went*on to talk of the ‘strong nationalistic, feelings which can perhaps be attributed to the slightly improved level of consumer production over that of the Stalin era. As regards the average Russian’s impressions of the United States; Mr. Rupen asserted that they are skeptical about current Russian propaganda and adverse comment about our standard: of living. America is the unmistakable model for the Soviet Union in material matters. It should be mentioned, however, that our own propaganda is equally unsuccessful; it is music, notably jazz, that is the popular item on the “Voice of America” programs. The actual living conditions pre- sented an even more deplorable picture than Mr. Rupen had_expect- ed. He-cited the town of Brest, on the Polish border, as an exam- ple of extreme Russian _noverty. People were shoeless, stores bleak’ and empty, streets unpaved.: Po- lice armed with sub-machine guns and bayonets were everywhere. Mr. Rupen said that he had been free to travel and talk openly to whom he pleased. However, no lasting friendships are established between the Russian and the for- eigner. In the last decade the Soviet people have been exposed to much entertainment geared only to ‘the highest cultural and intellectual planes. They do yearn for lighter MILLIONAIRE two Bryn Mawr alumnae in- the cast of The Happiest Millionaire. The other, Katharine Rah, plays Aunt Mary Drexel, the stern ma- triarch of the family. Dia n der Vlis plays Cor- delia Biddle, the only daughter of the family, possessor of a mean left hook and of two brothers who chase away her boy friends by ex- hibiting their boxing prowess—in other words by knocking her young men out. Few suitors stood for much of that. Miss van der Vlis is a petite and extremely attractive girl who plays the part of the female heir to the strong Biddle character (as well as the strong Biddle left hook) with skill and the right amount of youthful earnestness. George Grizzard plays her last suitor, Angier ‘Duke, heir to nine million dollars (which seems a for- tune to Mr. Dexter Biddle, who has only one million). Mr. Duke needs to, have more than a fortune to convince Anthony J. Drexel Biddle to let him marry Cordelia. The attempt of all concerned to see if he has those additional traits. The set of The Happiest Million- aire is ‘a simple one; the one-room setting of the Biddle parlor makes an, attractive background for the play. The costumes, dress of 1915, are also appropriact and quite ai- tractive. Mr. Biddle’s-robustness may of- ten be a little wearying, but he also seems at all times a man to be. respected. His eccentricity is never the kind that covers a super- ficial character, but rather the kind exhibited by a man with basic in- telligence and almost creative orig- inality in. thinking, and in his way of life. Though The Happiest. Million- aire is never a great play, its basis on an admirable character makes it an enjoyable one in many re- spects, joy. Fall and the natives have return- ed simultaneously to the campus this year and the latter seem to be finding these days something of a distraction from their real and earnest purpose (whatever that may be). There is still a general disagreement about the weather at Bryn Mawr: the hardy northern- ers feel they have stepped back into summer, and the southerners complain of cing thrust into rig- orous winter. During the summer there seems to have been a general effort on campus to efface all traces of the strenuous labors that ordinarily take place here; the stairs both in Taylor and in the library have been resurfaced and have lost the hol- lows worn into them by multitudes in pursuit of learning. Although no novelty as monu- mental as last year’s addition of the sarcophagus has appeared, one or two replacements, such as the |new bench under the ash-tree, may catch the eye, It wou esting to know, -also, how many upperclassmen have noticed that the roof of Taylor tower ho longer flaps:in the breeze.

First is Italy’s - geographical ‘position near the Mediterranean, and her links with Africa, which have made colonies come naturally to her, even in classical times. Second is the internal problem, that the soil cannot support all the population. The. result. is mass emigration of Italians. Mussolini was influenced by these factors in his. colonization schemes: and his attempt at: eco- nomic self-sufficiency in the over- population problem. In- 1940, Mussolini joined the Axis against the advice of other leaders who knew of: Italy’s unpre- paredness for war. This against traditional friends was never a popular one, and in 1943 came, the fall of Mussolini. The various resistance groups that came into being during the war were active opportunities for those who, had opposed Fascism all]. along, and not necessarily a “move- ment of hotheads.”’ It was because -of “the resistance movement tt Italy could be regarded as an ally. The peace treaty of 1947, and especially : the loss of colonies, seemed harsh to the Italians. The controversial-Trieste problem was also a sore spot. But once the treaty had been signed, Italy was in a position to formulate her own post-war foreign policy. With pro-West men like Sforza and” de’ Gasperi as’ her leaders, Italy welcomed U.S. plans and Marshall aid, although all the western leanings were bitterly con- tested by the Communists, who made up one-third of the country. However, by 1949, Italy had be- come a.member of the Western community. In: 1954, with the tentative set- tlement of the Trieste question, Italy emerged from the postwar period of bitterness over the peace treaty. In the last ten years, she has made a good “comeback” and is a respected member of the West. She bears. no stigma today because of her position in the war. - Ally To]: war |' + vi The , Junior Class announces the election of Lee Ellis as president and Ottilie Pattison as vice-president. : 60’s Parade Night Song Discovered; “Hail!

At its best, which is quite good, the movie presents a tempered version of the show. This “watering-down’’ is not sur- prising. The real shock is that Hollywood has produced the movie at all. Most of the incidents with- in thé movie run parallel to the Broadway original and are brought out with equal force. So much is this true that at times it seems, to those familiar with the habits lof Hollywood censors, that M-G-M “pulled a fast one” to get this pic- ture released. The flash-back technique used in the movie may have had something to. do with this. Unfortunately, it also weakened the drama consider- ably. The first scene of the movie sees John Kerr, who plays the boy Tom Lee, at a class reunion. He wanders over to his old room and begins to remember his unhappy days as. a student.’ flash-back, i. e., the beginning of the play). - From there the movie runs through a series of incidents, sim- ilar to those in the .play, which reveal Tom’s gentle, sensitive. na- ture, and lead to the boys’ :not-too- subtle accusation of him. He is tagged with the name “Sister Boy” and from there the situation: grows steadily worse.

Here is the much-publiciz- ed scene where Laura sits beside the.-boy, holding his hand to her bosom and saying, “Later on when you talk about this, and you will, be kind.” (End of play, i. e. return of movie to present time). Tom now presents himself to Laura’s former husband, who gives Tom a letter from Laura which has been there for some time. She has left her husband and is living alone far away (obviously paying for her sin). In the letter she tells Tom that although she helped him overcome a crisis that might have killed him, she. failed her husband utterly (in other words, she may not have done the right thing after all). Tom is now a_ successful author (married, of course). The three leading actors, Deb- orah Kerr, John Kerr (no relation) and the husband, Lief Erickson, were in the cast of the Broadway play, so they themselves are the only points of comparison. In both cases they gave seemingly flawless performances. Miss Kerr, especial- ly, gave to the part all the tender- ness and understanding which it deserved. Things Have Changed Considering the fact that Bryn Mawr has an abundance of tradi- tions and an over-abundance of elections, it is consoling to note that several rather “strange” tra- ditions have been dropped. For example: “Speeding through the campus in a touring car about 3:30 yesterday afternoon, Marga- ret Hutchins, of Columbus, Ohio, was elected chairman of the Fresh- man Class. “The chairman spent Monday night at the Bellevue-Stratford, taking the train yesterday after- noon to Haverford, where she was met by L.

For both parties: 1 Writing articles for The Col- lege News 2 ‘Work ona debate 3 Poster making “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.” Masterpieces Are Exhibited In City by Ann Barthelmes One of the advantages of Bryn Mawr is its proximity to Philadel- phia’s theaters and museums. The Philadelphia Art Museum, which has collections representing most of the periods of art history, is recognized as one of.the finest in this country. The museum’s exam- ples of Northern Renaissance art are particularly worth viewing. The Arnesburg collection, which includes the works of modern painters, attracts many visitors to the museum. The samplings of Braque and Gris, as well as that of Picasso, are especially fine, In the Arnesburg collection are found the famous Duchamps “Nude De- scending the Staircase” in several tonal variations, and some little- known works of Chiroco and Dali, such as Dali’s “Agnostic Symbol.” There are many fine paintings by nineteenth century _ impressionists and post-impressionists, of which those by Degas and Cezanne (par- ticularly Cezanne’s “Bathers at Avignon”) are outstanding exam- ples. There is little sculpture. within the museum walls. However, Ro- din’s “Burghers of Calais,” found at the west entrance, is a beautiful and impressive work. Something to watch for is the museum’s annual showing of im- portant exhiBitions currently tour- ing the country. Outstanding in the past months were those of Tou- louse-Lautrec and Brancusi: and exhibit. Even beyond its wealth of ob- jets d’art, the Philadelphia Museum is exciting as a center of various cultural activities. Films and lee- tures are scheduled for Sunday af- ternoons, and concerts are held tere occasionally. Next week The News will publish complete rules for the. use of Rhoads farm as well as maps showing routes. to- the farm, and the area available for student use, WUS Sponsoring Africa Conference A conference entitled The Crises in the University—Africa: A Case Study, will be held at Swarthmore College on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. It is spon- sored by the Eastern Pennsylvania- New Jersey-Delaware Fall World University.

BMC Seeks Funds For Camp Program By Betsy Nelson and Ginny Stewart The Bryn Mawr Summer Camp and the problem of funds for its continuance will be discussed at the first Legislature meeting this year. - The summer camp, about which few on campus seem to be inform- ed, is run and financed completely by the students for the benefit of children from , Philadelphia slum areas, who are sent to us by or- ganizations working in these areas.
