XLV—NO. 5 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1959 © Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1959 PRICE 20 CENTS Literary Magazine Divides: Publish New BMC ‘Review’ Two new publications, one based at Haverford, the other at Bryn Mawr, have superceded the Bryn Mawr-Haverford Revue. This joint literary magazine was dissolved by the Haverford editor, Jon Smith, who plans to found an entirely new sort of publication on the Hav- erford campus. Bryn Mawr will continue to have a literary magazine, the Bryn Mawr Review. Editor Joanne Field is now accepting manuscripts, arid plang to have the first issue off the press before Christmas vacation. This magazine will concern itself, as did the now-defunct publication, with creative writing in essay, poetic and fictional forms. To Be “Unliterary” ‘On the other hand, the new Hav- erford Revue “will be an almost exclusively unliterary publication,” according to a statement Jon Smith made to the Haverford News. “We will attempt to create a more gen- eral type of magazine which will appeal to a wider audience than did the self-conscious. literary pro- ductions of the past few years,” Smith said, The Haverford News article stated that “the Revue will concen- trate on soliciting student scholar- ly articles on any subject growing out of project course, Honors, or independent research.” Smith was quoted as saying, “Creativity in mathematics is just as important as creative poetry.” “The decision to sever connec- Continued on Page 6, Col. 1 Russian Surnames Discussed in Talk ByLinguist-Author Boris Umbigaum, linguist and grammarian, discussed the nature, structure and distinguishing fea- tures of Russian surnames in Wyndham’s Ely Room, Friday af- ternoon, October 28. og is a systematized lan- guage; with grammatical, morpho- logical categories for semantic groups.

Cites Infractions of Rules, Clarifies Legislation on Night Jaunts By Sue Harris and Liz Lynes, for Self-Gov. The. Advisory and Executive Boards are aware that a set of rules is being abused by a sub- stantial number of students. Con-| sidering the quantity of abuses di- rected at this set of rules, Self-Gov. feels that it is time for a re-axam- ination of them and of the campus situation which prompted their adoption. These rules have two parts: first, walking on campus after dark, and second, walking (or riding a bicycle) off campus in directions other than the ville after dark, ‘Cf. Section VII, A, 2 and B, 1, a, pages 16 and 17 of the Constitution. Two Major Points Self-Gov. would like to make it known that, in conjunction with walking on campus after dark, there are two points to bear in mind: First, that there is a Self- Gov. policy in existence which states that if a student has busi- ness after dark im one or more buildings on campus and if she ‘will be walking directly to and from these buildings along the lighted pathways, she may walk alone. This policy fits under the 12:30 “walk on campus” sign-out. Second, that there is another mean- ing of the phrase “walking om or off campus” (also included under the 12:30 sign-out). This interpre- tation is that of “taking a walk” or “wandering” on or off campus af- ter dark. SelfiGov. feels that it is this latter part of the “walking” rules which are being abused. Since college opened this fall, Advisory and Executive Boards have been discussing these rules, _.trying to resolve the principle of minimum practical protection for the campus with the physical set- up of the campus, while taking into account the wide variety of individuals and differences in judg- ment and opinion here at Bryn 'Mawr:—The-Self-Gov:- officers have’ been unable to come to unanimous agreement on the best alternative to the “walking” rules, although they realize that some positive ac- tion must be taken. Alternatives Presented Last week the Boards decided to present to the college the poss- ‘ible alternatives by means of an article in the NEWS and through discussions within the halls. At these hall meetings, mimeographed sheets listing the alternatives will be distributed and the Hall Presi- dents will ask that each student check the alternative that seems most appropriate for the entire campus. In this way, by finding out the considered opinion of the entire student body the Self-Gov. Boards will be in a better position to decide upon what recommenda- tions Self-Gov. can make to the Legislature (the representative legislative body of the college) if a change im the “walking” rules is decided ‘by the student body. There are several . important points to consider in re-evaluating the minimum practical protection afforded by “walking” rules. First, the differentiation between “walk- ing directly’ and “wandering” should be kept in mind (see above). Second, the difference from the point of view of safety, between poorly-lighted places on campus (hockey field, Applebee barn, faculty row, etc.) and dark places off campus in directions Continued on Page 3, Col. 1 As Attitude Shared by Susan Nelson Many of the important similar- ities between the organization of corporate structures and labor unions ‘were pointed out by Mr. Bernard \Nossiter, reporter for the Washington Post, in his talk, “What’s in it for Me?” or, “The Current Labor-Management Prob- lem”. Citing Mr. Pearlman, he said, “The Labor Union takes its structure. from. the industry with which it bargains.” As corpora- tion becomes increasingly bureau- cratic and prosperous, the same changes tend to appear in the labor union. Even the hierarchic arrangement of some corporatior buildings, in which there are sep- arate dining rooms for different employee income brackets, is also to be found in certain union build- ings where the officials consider it “declasse” to eat in the workers’ cafeteria. ‘A concern with igeteas up ap- pearances” characterizes both busi- ness and the labor union. When the scandal over the television quiz shows broke out, the network of- ficials’ reaction was fear of incur- ring hostile public feeling rather than concern over correcting the League Promotes. V. F. Social Work Formerly available only to Rhoads girls, the opportunity for evening work at Valley Forge Army Hospital is now being offered all interested Bryn —Mawrters — by League. Parties are held there about once a month on Tuesday evenings. The Red Cross sponsors the project and provides the trans- portation, leaving about 6:45 and returning at 9:30. Julie O'Neill, League President, and Gail Reyn- olds, who is in charge of the proj- ect, want to expand the opportun- ity and hope that many girls will ‘be interested in this important | work. Rewards Cited A new and different kind of acquaintanceship is the reward for evenings spent at the hospital. Par- ties are held for mental patients in both the open and closed wards, The atmosphere is comfortable, the orchestra is good, and refresh- ments are served. The patients, both men and women, wear fa- tigues. Since they have very lit- tle other social life, they are usu- ally eager to talk and dance. The girls try to draw out those who are hesitant or tend to brood, and find that they really appreciate it. Whether in the closed wards, in a room within the living quar- ters, or in the larger open wards, there is no need for anyone to feel apprehensive. No one who might get out of hand is allowed to’come to the parties, and in the closed wards orderlies and psychiatrists are always unobtrusively present. Work at this hospital helps both patient and.student and provides service. Announcements will be made in the halls and a list put up in Taylor so that interested stu- dents may sign up.

Does “free thinking” itself consti- tute a prejudice? These questions and numerous others relating to religious prej- udices were discussed this after- noon at the Inter-Faith-League co-sponsored discussion held in the Common Room, from five _jo’clock until dinner. Julie O’Neill, League President, explained that the purpose of this discussion was to afford the stu- dents an' opportunity to present their own opinions as well as to hear those of girls of different backgrounds, Dr. Brown, Associ- ate Professor of Psychology, serv- ed as moderator and got the pro- gram underway. The discussion was held to bring out ideas rather than to present any definite conclusions about the nature of religious prejudice. Julie O'Neill stressed that this discussion was not the result of prejudice on campus, but it repre- sented a means for intelligent stu- dents to share opinions on a sub- |ject about which there is —mueh ‘controversy and need for under- standing. The discussion covered prejudice in its blatant and covert aspects; the latter form, it was agreed, was the most common as well as the most difficult to bring to the surface and comprehend. Moonshine Topic e / / Gives ‘Fun Show In 61's ‘Still Life’ “Still Life is very different from anything that has ever been done on the campus before—it’s a fun show more than anything else.” This was director Anita Dopico’s enthusiastic comment on 61’s show, which will be presented this Fri- day and Saturday evenings at 8:30 p.m, in Goodhart Hall. Weekend Events ‘An Open House will be held in Goodhart following Friday night’s dress rehearsal of the Junior Show, After the performance Sat- urday, a formal dance, “In the Still of the Night” will feature Ed Kleban and his band. Both func- tions will last until 2 o’clock. The plot, according to Anita, in- volves a young college girl, Clau- dia McClure, who is called home to manage the family business which is, interestingly enough, moonshin- ing. A true young entrepreneur, she is tremendously successful; just as she is whipping the organi- zation into shape and reaching maximum production levels, the U. S. government begins to show an imterest in the improved moon- shine which is appearing in the hills (so good is Claudia’s product, that the distillers begin to lose customers), Somehow she manag- es to extricate herself from this situation without “bringing dis- credit upon hersefl or her college,” and the ending, Anita promises, “is very happy.” Costumes Authentic “The costumes,” Anita announc- ed, “are great—we got all of them in the rummage sale last year.” “We have,” she continued, “a very large cast (53), but everyone is so interested—we’re all so en- thusiastic, and I hope everyone will evenings—or-both.”— There have been a few cast changes which are as follows: Mrs. von Clumple will be played by Mel- inda Aikens; Mrs. Thomas, by Rob- ert Holder; Miss Fortness, by B.

But in trying to formulate a position, the editorial board has split. Two divergent stands appear below. In Good Conscience At any moment in time, the United States may have to decide between surrendering her autonomy and participating in a general thermonuclear war. Rather, the decision is made; all our policy statements, all our military preparations declare our readiness to trigger the missiles, to loose the planes, to kill or be killed. Undoubtedly, there is some no- bility in preferring annihilation to the loss of our “freedom”. But our decision is not only to be annihilated, but to annihil- ate, not only to suffer the destruction of tens of millions of our population, but to destroy tens of millions of other peo- ples; not only to bow to an almost certain maiming of the race, but to contribute to that maiming. : We cannot in good conscience give even tacit assent to this national decision. It does not matter that the United States may never be forced. to employ its horrendous arsenal. A man-who, with a gun in his hand, says “Make a false move, and I’ll shoot you”, has already killed his antagonist in his heart. We believe that the United States, as a people and as a political and social system, has important things to say about the dignity of man-and-those rights and freedoms he may lay claim to. So long as the Government of the United States acts in accordance with these principles it fulfills the func- tion for which it was created. But supose that a terroristic clique got control over the government; we would deny its legitimacy. Similarly, if the United States takes a terroris- tic stance toward any other people, we, as individuals, can, " and perhaps must, say that there are some principles that take precedence even over the continued autonomy of our country. As we recall, Jefferson’s first “inalienable right” is the right to life. If the United States denies that right to millions of persons, even to preserve herself—then, per- _haps she is not worth preserving. We are taking an extreme position, because the choice with which we are presented is one of extremes. We don’t consider that the practical alternative to the present power posture is unilateral disarmament, but the establishment of arms control attended by restricted world government. But if this proved impossible, we would choose, in the last anal-| -ysis, to-be dominated rather than to destroy. A Rejoinder The majority of the Board have expressed their view that the United States should cease its struggles in the race for arms and power. They ask for disarmament, peace, ab- stension from war and death, and agree to pay for these diadems with renunciation of Democracy and submission to a totalitarian master. Cession of Democracy to an amoral foe is justified by them as the more moral of two courses of action. Nonethe- less, no review of Communist activity is necessary to cause a shudder of revulsion at the very concept of such submis- sion. No dramatic yisions of concentration camps, literary censorship, control of discussion, or one-party elections need be pai oo to sway the reader, to move him to query if “life be so dear’, “peace so sweet”, or moral self-justification so gratifying as to warrant the horrors of Soviet domination, The majority of the Board have suggested that a Dem- otracy which will prepare to destroy in self-defense is not worth defending. They err here grievously, however, in for- getting certain intrinsic merits of Democracy which set it off from other forms of government and make its protection worthy of great, even total, sacrifice. They say that in pre- paring to destroy man Democracy will, by denying its own basis principles, be destroying itself, but here again they for- get a basic principle, that the state is not as the man is, its morality cannot be compared with that of the individual. The moral state is unable, by its very nature, to duplicate the actions of the moral man; it cannot turn the other cheek and. expect to survive the slap of its power-thirsty rivals: If Democracy is to perpetuate itself it must do so by the only means a state has of perpetuating itself: it must amass power. : It is probable that this power wil never be used for de- struction, that as soon as either Russia or the West has an ultimate and certain advantage over the other the weaker will submit without nuclear persuasion, and the vicious race will end. The game is, undoubtedly, an ugly and a costly one, but to give it up now would mean giving up Democracy. - It is the contention of this faction of the Board that no con- sideration would justify such action. by Susan Shapiro Ques.: When is silence not golden? Ans: When it is all the response a teacher gets to his ques- tions asked in class. : The actuality of that answer is too familiar to too many Bryn Mawr students. And there are also numerous campus dwellers who feel that their courses and assignments and classes are over- sufficient in the provision of fac- tual knowledge but sadly lacking in the areas of individual thought and integration. It seems not il- logical to suggest the possibility of a connection between albsence of class response and absence of thought. ; The question of original think- ing as a part of formal education is a difficult one, complicated by varying conceptions of needs and means. [On fact, almost the only aspect about which most people can fbe expected to agree is that it is, generally speaking, a Good Thing. From that point, uncer- tainty and disagreement begin to take over.” Even: those most. con- vinced of the absolute necessity of individual thought as. an integral feature of liberal (in all senses of the word) education dispute among themselves as to the role of that education itself with respect to stimulating, encouraging, and de- manding thought. There are those who maintain that education is useless and (ffalse unless it does so. On the other hand, some see education as able only to lead the horse to the water. Some would blame.class silence on the course’s content and. the man- ner im which it is conducted, oth- ers ‘would attribute it to the par- ticipants’ own inadequacies, wheth- er simple laziness or more basic failure.‘Then there are those who feel that The Facts are so essen- tial that they must be mastered first, before one can even hope to think. It seems undeniable that spon- taneous, voluntary thought is the only sort which is really ideal. But isn’t it better to be forced, or at least coaxed and encouraged, to think than not to think at all? What is the value to the student of acquiring a vast store of infor- mation, however fascinating, ex- tion may be in itself, if he never has time or inclination to make of it anything more than a discreet, encyclopedic array? Again, few would gainsay the contention that concrete back- ground is essential in order for original thought to be disciplined and valid. But surely it is neith- er right nor proper to spend the majority or entirety of one’s years in college—the end of formal edu- cation for many—in building bul- warks of as yet uncorrelated, un- reflected-upon facts and theories. Besides, there seems, to this writer at least, to be a definite possibility that such work is habit-forming— that there occurs a gradual rust- ing or stunting of an individual’s independent thought processes and an increasing reliance upon explan- ations and solutions which can be formulated from trustworthy, re- assuring black-and-white data. It is a fact recognized by psy- chology that an organism habitu- ally taught by methods more than necessarily primitive will seem less intelligent than it actually is. And there is the further and even more sobering ‘possibility that similar mental habits develop in areas other than purely academic ones.

He is, sup- posedly, threatening “to stifle cre- ativity”, to “undermine Democ- racy”, and, undoubtedly, if present he ought to be ousted.

It is he who is blamed for the observed lack of heated discussion on campus, for the struggling of the Revue to gather material, for the scantiness of attendance at last year’s Alliance Labor Sym- posium. He is continuously. accus- ed and always convicted; but it is easy to convict something non- existent. How real is Campus Apathy ?, (What is it and how is it manifested ? All will agree that it is a force tending to dull thought and stifle activity. But, how can it be dis- cerned? If there is a lack of in- terest in campus organizations and affairs, may this not méan a concentration of concern on what is beyond the campus, a prefer- ence for world problems to campus projects? or,,.may not an apparent lack of concern for all social ques- tians indicate an intensity of aca- demic excitement, intellectual ex- ploration which leaves little energy for immediate social concerns but better prepares the mind for those of Activities on Campus formal education? How accurate a gauge for the reality of Campus Apathy is the state of activity of campus organ- izations? Does their success indi- cate responsible interest and en- thusiasm which will eventually be transferred to broader activities, or does it signify a pre-occupation with the superficial, a lack of at- tention to the real function of. ed- ucation ? ‘When a project is doomed to struggle or complete failure its leaders attribute the failure to the apathy that has smothered their fellow students. This is most likely an unjust displacement of blame: Part of the student body is actively, not apathetically, un- interested; part are those, present in any community and particularly an artificially selected one, who must be led. That there are eager and enthusiastic leaders on cam- pus forming the hard core of cam- pus organizations cannot be doubt- ed. That they bemoan student apathy is virtual proof that it does not exist.

Is there a difference in practital safety terms? Are the poorly-lighted places on campus really safer than the dark places off campus in directions other than the ville ? If they are safer, it may ibe necessary to define the lim- its of the campus. The Advisory Board suggests the following alternatives: 1) Leave the rules as they stand; i.e., three or more for wandering on campus and off campus in direc- tions other than the ville after dark. This suggestion is based on the premise that three or more stu- dents is a necessary requirement in the interests of safety for walk- ing on or off campus. 2) Change three to two for on and off campus, on the basis that two persons is adequate protection anywhere in the environs of the college. Sup- porters of this view feel that it gives the student the opportunity to walk on campus without taking “the whole dorm” with her. Its practicality, it is also felt, will re- sult in fewer infringements of the rule. 8) Change three persons to two for on campus wandering, leaving the requirement of three persons for wandering off campus in directions other than the ville. This view makes a distinction be- tween the safety of the student on and .off ‘campus, which would ne- cessitate defining the limits of the campus, 4) Leave ‘walking on campus to judgment of the stud- ent, while requiring three. persons - off campus in directions other than the ville. This view assumes that a student is safe ‘wandering on campus alone, Again it makes a distinction between safety on and off campus. Whatever is decided by the stu- - dents concerning these rules, Self- Gov. feels it must take steps to warn students of the potential danger of walking im poorly-light- ed areas in the environs of the college, both on and off campus. ‘When considering these alterna- tives, remember that there have been cases in the past. in which the safety of a student has been vio- lated.

As- sociation, commonly called NSA. NSIA is an organization devoted to the concerns of students rang- ing from the aims of education and the role of student govern- ment on campus to the continua- tion of nuclear testing. As a member-college, Bryn (Mawr was allowed a voting delegate, myself, and an alternate, Betty Cassady, to the Congress. This year’s Con- gress was held at the University of Illinois and was attended by over 1000 students representing some 250 member colleges. This group of students from every part of the country formulates the pol- icy that NSA will follow during the year, that is, the policy enun- ciated by the student leaders in the United States. Workshops Featured The ten-day Congress is separ- ated into workshops, legislative sub-committees, legislative com- mittees and plenary sessions. The first workshop I attended was a discussion of the student-professor relationship. It was generally agreed that with most professors the relationship between student and professor is determined by the initiative taken by the student. ‘However, it was suggested that a summer reading program before Freshman year could be establish- ed. In the fall the freshmen would meet regularly with a rotating professor in groups of about six students to discuss their reading. Almost all schools had a place used by both faculty and students where coffee and smacks were served. 'We felt that this natural- ly improves the faculty-student relationship, The second workship was a dis- cussion of effective honor systems. Bryn Mawr was unique in that we were the only school that had a social and academic honor system that worked. I was able to give some useful suggestions, and I tried to convey the ‘spirit: of the honor’ system which is so important if it is to work. This exchange of ideas is the vital part of the Congress and of NSA. NSA is strong and effective because it is a national union of students in which there is a free flow of ideas and thoughts and a desire to help each other wtih sim- ilar problems. The legislative sub- committees initiate legislation and the committee decides which legis- lation will go on to the floor of the plenary. The plenary session con- sists of all Congress participants divided according to regions, and voting in regions, The procedure and especially the atmosphere were reminiscent of a national po- litical convention. After much dis- cussion and arguing, legislation is passed by the plenary session. It is then an official NSA. policy. We passed resolutions on: Aims of “Education, Disapproval of Loy- alty Oaths and (Disclaimer Affida- vits, Southwest Africa, Nuclear Testing, Vienna Youth Festival, and Federal Aid to Education, to mention a few. I would like to quote the resolution on Aims of Education because I think it will ibe of special interest. It was the subject of much controversy and was finally passed intact. RESOLUTION Aims of Education “Principle: The aim of education is to awak- en and develop to the highest poss- | ible degree the capacity of the in- dividual for original, creative and rational thinking, and the ability to choose intelligently between alternatives and to instill in him an appreciation of his culture, both past and present. Education is a continuing pro- cess which enables the individual to maximize his contributions to the totality of human intellectual endeavor while striving for the ul- timate fulfillment of himself as a human being, and the etenment of his civilization, Education is brought about in the individual: through: (1) the accumulation and un- derstanding of facts, concepts, and methods of intellectual inquiry. __ Continued on Page 4,-Col.-3— “Continued from Page 2, Col. 5 understanding, the purpose of which are “not to come to conclu- sions, but to provide a means for self-examination and understand- ing—the first step to social inter- est”. The first of these discus- sions, initiated on a trial basis, was held today with Interfaith on Religious Prejudice om the Bryn Mawr Campus. League is also working in conjunction with Inter- faith and Alliance on a Conference on African Nationalism to be held sometime this winter. This same sort of enthusiasm for group discussion and tossing about of ideas has been shown by Interfaith, partner in the Preju- dice Discussion and Sponsor of to- morrow night’s panel on marriage. This year’s group has initiated a series of informal conclaves on questions pertaining to Religion in a Free Society. With Mr. Ken- nedy to indicate areas of examin- ation, the group—to which all in- terested are welcome—is prepar- ing to do some keen thinking about important issues. The talks will lead up to-angd prepare for a series of four lectures in March by out- side speakers. ' Alliance, concerned with the aforementioned Conference on Af- rican Nationalism and with snar- ing a big speaker for 12:30 some- timé this semester, is waiting with its discussion group until after Junior Show. The interest in talk characterizing the other two Social organizations may bode well for ' the success of the Alliance Discus- hoped. In the meantime, its Young Republicans and Young Democrats are in touch with Philadelphia’s city hall and prepared to do cam- paign work, while its Internation- al Relations Club is sending repre- sentatives to a New York organi- zation of the COUIN. The Debate Club challenges passers-by in Tay- lor with a poster demanding, “Do you think?”, but if the club’s mem- ship were to be considered the measure of positive answers, one might very well have to re-hypoth- esize the Monster. It will be as- sumed that it isn’t. Arts Council, too, has widened its scope, and according to its lead- ers, this year’s Council is charac- terized by “more activity and more campus interest”. Arts Night and a concert by Ruth (Meckler and David Serone of Curtis Institute are major events in the offing. Re- turn trips to Hedgerow Theatre (the first provoked an almost amazing response), a series of Friday ‘night foreign films alter- nately here and at Haverford, and a resumption of the playreading group with discussion of the script and acting techniques added, are also being planned. ‘New this year will be a (Christmas play for fac- ulty children—possibly “Le Petit Prince”, translated and dramatiz- ed by Trudié-Hoffman. - Undergrad is studying the ques- tion of reorganiaztion of campus groups into a student council sys- tem with ipso facto membership for all een aeaer ~ Campus Apathy Probed by Student sion Club; this is greatly to a and Undergrad—abolished.

Self-Gov, whose power. and pres- ence are often simply assumed, must nonetheless be particularly noted. ‘The conservatism of its regulations and their administra- tion, though indicative of the con- scientious effort behind them, tend to make one take the organization and its functionings for granted.

Though smaller groups like the German and Chess clubs play im- portant roles they will not here be examined.

There is then, on the whole, a fairly high degree of campus ac- tivity. If projects are not as suc- cessful as they now promise to be, Campus Apathy cannot be blamed; no group is comprised totally of doers, and with proper leadership those not “actively uninterested” may be activated. By the same token, it must be remembered that the state of activity of campus or- ganizations is not, and cannot be considered a gauge, but simply an indication of student alertness and social creativity, Miss Ely Talks of Africa, Seeks Unprejudiced View by Lois Potter Just returned from a six weeks’ trip to Africa, Miss Gertrude Ely displayed, among her souvenirs, fertility caps of green,‘ white, black and orange beads, ornament- ed with English coins around the edges and worn on the nape of the neck. /Why the nape of the neck —was that somehow important in African tribal lore? “I don’t know, but I think somebody should cer- tainly {find out.” Places Visited On her journey, Miss Ely visited Narobi and several tribes in Ken- ya, including the Kikuyu and Suk, then Uganda, northern Tangan- yika, the Belgian (Congo, Johannes- burg in the Union of South Africa, Ghana, Salisbury im southern Rho- desia, and Sierra (Leone, once a Portuguese colony, now independ- ent, but still marked by pictures- que traces of its past. In Salis- bury, she attended a discussion be- tween author Alan Paton and some active African nationalists, on the problems of making peace between the elements living in the country and those governing it. She was also impressed by the beauty of the people, their family life and laws, their cheerfulness, innumerable babies, and the fact that travel is almost entirely by foot—bicycles are beginning to be used, but one sees no wagons or trucks, except near cities, because there is no commerce. ‘While she emphasized that her impressions of Africa were only impressions, not judgments, Miss Ely was able, in her short visit, to talk with many Europeans in Africa and learn their views about such disturbances as the Mau Mau uprisings. - The thoughts of the Mau Maus, she was told, were very hard to wpenetrate—they often ‘worked for and lived in the midst of the Europeans while the move- ment was growing, without ever hinting at their secrets, and may still be active. Animosity towards the Europeans is a tribal matter as well as a personal one; one of the oaths they take includes a pledge to exterminate all Europ- eans in Africa. A man who kills his employer out of personal spite gets no credit from them. Interestingly enough, the Mau Maus are members of a tribe, the Kikuyus, which won the respect of the British government because of its freedom from intra-tribal wars and massacres. The Kikuyus have ~ enormous tracts of land which were theirs by right of tenure, but parts of these have been taken away from them from time to time by Europeans. Despite the Mau Mau atrocities, Miss Ely said, three Englishmen told her on three separate occa- sions that “It may be that they’ve done some real good, because some of us have perhaps come to a re- alization of what we haven’t done that should have been done.” One British official, in comment- ing on the possibility of a general uprising, what the government might be doing to avoid this, and how long it would take, said, “But perhaps the time is rumning out.” (Miss Ely asked a number of people what they thought of the situa- tion, and some younger men con- fessed that it was “something so unreal one couldn’t believe human beings would be responsible for it.” Yet they found a reply when Miss Ely wondered why so few Afric- ans ‘were included in the govern- ment and society of their own country: “You in the United States,” said one Englishman, “have had the American Indians to deal with for about 300 years ,and I believe I am right in saying you haven’t yet Continued on Page 6, Col. 1 Ancient Rites of Halloween Remain Untapped by BMC by Alison Baker __Yes,—it’s—another article on Bryn Mawr traditions, or it might have been wher it first got start- ed. Not only are you exipected to submit to the time-honored rituals when they take place, but you soon discover that your own prec- iously individual time is that with which they are so freely honored. Meetings, rehearsals, and more re- hearsals. (Now the crowning blow— you are asked to read about them. But bear up, proverbial camels, your backs are stronger than you think. The point of this article—there is a point, although you may have begun to suspect the reverse—is not to mull over what is done and continues to be redone, but rather to suggest new and fertile grounds for that vigorous animal—the tra- dition-hungry Bryn Mawrter. ‘Who would ‘think that those same burrowing minds who culled the annals of Teutonic myth and followed its thread to Merry Eng- land, who dipped into the grandeur that was Rome, skimmed the top of an Oxford University Tower, plunged to preserve a bit of the glory that was Greece, and cased some of the fragments in medie- val academia; who would have thought that the survivors of such roller-coaster antics would neglect as promising a cult as that of the druids, and thus leave unexploited the fertile field of Hallowe’en? (Well, I don’t know who would have thought it, nor probably do you, but the reason why our sca- venging forebears left such a promising specimen of antique fes- tival to the world at large is ob- vious. It was that the world at large already had it. Probably on the Bryn Mawr campus because-- +it-had been brought to a rather un- pleasantly active life elsewhere. Americana, especially when active- ly modern, might have chewed the ivy off the walls, But now the Encyclopedia Brit- tanica dourly proclaims that “the tendency to manipulate rather than to celebrate folk festivals such as Hallowe’en is characteris- tic of the ‘twentieth century. It reflects the growing influence of a rational outlook on life and the loss of interest in imagination and fantasy.” (Surely this is a chal- lenge to rouse Bryn Mawr fancies or at least a preliminary flutter! This Saturday night, while the multitudes wallow in soothing draughts of vicariously relished — home-brew (or otherwise), while they press together in the close confines of “The Still of the Night”, then perhaps some soli- tary children of the world of dis- illusion wil] escape to prepare their own Druidical rites. Of course it’s fine to swim in wine, and turn upon the toe, but those with wilder things in mind will gather at the top of the Bryn Mawr hill, there to crouch round a blazing bonfire and welcome de- parted kinsmen to its warmth. An easy straddle to the Middle Ages will set them to roasting nuts and ducking for apples as they pronounce augyries of the dawn- ing year. There is no telling what the profits and delights of a witches’ Sabbath might contribute towards relieving the drumming of the humdrum. So why relax in the complacency of a Still Night? Why knuckle under to insidious learn- ing? Rise instead, and follow Hallowe’en ‘was left slumbering Faust! Maen Se Page Four THE COLLEGE. NEWS Wednesday, October 28, T959 Summer Scientists Express Views of Research Projects This is the second half of an ar- ticle started in last week’s News, concerning ten Bryn Mawr students who did scientific research this sum- mer under grants from the National Science Foundation. Jean Hebb, the only junior in the program this summer, was working in physics with a grad stu- dent under Dr. Michels, studying the behavior of ions in electrolitic interphases, in surface phenomena. Jean said she got a lot out of the summer as an experience in meth- od of research—“‘how to approach turning vague statements into quantitative measurement, getting it into exact mathematics. When you’re expressing the distance of ions below the surface you’re work- ing with 10-10 metres.” Jean found that having had only 101 physics was definitely a dis- advantage. She came a week early to do reading, which she found stimulating but hard, and contin- ued reading as she worked. She also found that her background in math, more than in physics, helped her with the basic operations and computations. Dr. Michels, the grad student and Jean would sometimes plan to- gether. “They were in the process of figuring out how to set it up,” she says. ‘‘We’d all three be there mulling it over, and my help con- sisted in asking silly basic ques- tions. There was one exciting day when he came back and used an idea I had originally had.” Advantages Although Jean is not certain which science she’ will go into as a career, she said this summer gave her more of an idea of the kind of work she will be doing. “You have to keep the whole idea of the thing high enough to go through stuff which is not inher- ently interesting, such as punching an adding machine. Sometimes when you’re just learning the clas- sic laws of motion, physics seems to be a closed system, all settled, and it’s a challenge to your mind to see whether you can feel justi- fied in having original creative ideas, or just capitulate to what ‘they’ say.” Sue C. Jones, in physics, was - working with Miss Hoyt in’a proj- ect determining the electric con- stant of an organic acid. Sue’s main job was to design the layout for the apparatus, put it together and calibrate it. “I ordered it and soldered it—that was grand fun— and spent the rest of the time try- ing to make the thing work.” (Miss Hoyt filled in on theory as to what they would do with the information when they got it, and Sue did some reading on theories for designing the equipment. She had had three physics courses al- ready, including one in electricity, which was what she needed for this work, so there was really no gap to fill between her course work and the job. Sue says that one of the things that made the summer interesting was the emphasis in the depart- ment that she make the equipment with materials that were already available. “All the way, the main purpose of what I was doing was my own education, and what hap- pened to the experiment was sec- ondary.” She feels that she enjoyed the work, and although she is not plan- ning to go into physics, “if I had been planning to go into physics it would have been a grand help.” Psychology Work Jean Hoag was working in psy- chology with Mr. Davidon, study- ing and attempting to measure body image. Her specific part of the project included running exper- iments on other people (“Some- times we tested each other too.”), and setting up the equipment. A major part of her work consisted of compiling a bibliography on the subject for Mr. Davidon’s use. “There wasn’t really a lot of read- ing involved—just collecting the material for him to read in his own time, ‘A comprehensive sur- vey of the literature,’ I think it’s called officially.” Jean said that this work did not especially relate to her specific car- eer (plans, except of course that the experience of having been a re- search assistant would always be useful. Jean liked the fact that she was pretty much on her. own, meeting with Mr. Davidon. every morning to discuss the work. Toward the end of the summer she was given a series of questions to answer, which was actual re- search for her taken from the read- ing cards she had made. Other than these, she was under no pressure of time, but she found these ques- tions more challenging than her other work. Also working psychology was Sue Schonberg, the only one in the Bryn Mawr branch of the NSF program who did not work at Bryn Mawr working in conjunction with the Mellon Foundation, so her work was done at Vassar and much of it could be taken to the nearby summer home of Dr. Brown, with whom she was working. Her summer included work on two projects. One was a portion of Dr. Brown’s own ‘work under the Mellon Foundation, dealing with prediction of faculty: nomin- ation of ideal students; for this Sue was mostly gathering and as- similating statistics on tests which had already been conducted. Her own project dealth more generally with the timing of changes in personality in wom- en during the college years: “Who will change? What hap- pens to their views on social, polit- ical, religious questions—that kind of thing. Also, to what extent these studies we had from the Vassar girls could be considered univer- sal.” Personality and social psh- chology were a new area for Sue, and she commented that it is hard Continued on Page 6, Col. 5 “On Spoon Feeding” Continued from Page 2, Col. 5 labs even more than at present, and to encourage original reflec- tion and daciseveness following (NOT substituted for) the meth- ods of research and critical analy- sis which are now so rightly and valuably inculcated?

This situation, evident on all levels of education, is especially alarm- ing in higher education which by for excellence have been lowered. | its nature ought to be dedicated to the ideals of academic excellence. Curriculum: Institutions of learning must eliminate the dichotomy between the general and vocational educa- tion through a return to a concen- tration on the basic intellectual skills. There must be a re-empha- sis of those areas of academic dis- cipline which are not confined to a single vocation, but are essential to every vocation. In pursuit of this objective we strongly believe that the basic ed- ucation of every individual must include courses both broad and deep in the natural science, the humanities, the fine arts, and. the basic areas of the social sciences. Atmosphere: Most American colleges lack devotion to the intellect, a sense of dedication and a profound re- spect for the education which the student should be pursuing. The loss of the proper intellectual clim- ate has been accompanied by a misdirection of legitimate extra- curricular..activities.through an er-emphasis ‘on social, athletic and governmental activities for their own sake rather than for the sake of the overall educational process. The Individual: USNSA has observed that in NSA Convenes; Student Outlines Proposals the ‘haste to bring more education to more people, and as a result of the change in the emphasis of edu- cation from academic achievement’ bo social adjustment, the individ- ual—the center of the educational process—has been forgotten, The aim of education is individual de- velopment—not social adjustment. The Teacher: USNSA recognizes the import- ance of -the teacher since educa- tion is passed from person to per- son. Action: USINSA further urges the en- couragement of educational pro- grams. emphasizing independent research, smaller classes with an emphasis on discussion and closer contact {between the teacher and the individual student. e Notice This week a slip will be post- ed on the League Bulletin Board in Taylor to be signed by soph- omores, juniors, and seniors who-are interested in teaching maids’ and porters’ classes.

Lack of Speed It was lack of speed that pre- vented Bryn Mawr from scoring. Although the team ran faster than it ever has before, Beaver was faster. The Beaver defense always had time to get into position to block the forward line. In the sec- ond half the varsity was too tired to keep up the pace set by Beaver. Although the players didn’t use their legs, they did use their heads. In the opinion of Miss Stevenson, the referee, this was the best game Bryn Mawr has ever played.

Nossiter Speaks On Labor Continued from Page 1, Col. 4 tion for this legal or illegal ‘“‘cheat- ing” sound very much alike. A good many union officials, more- over, live on a level quite up to the business executive’s standard. Summing this up, Mr. Nossiter said, “There is a relation, although it may be distant, between the most unsavory union leader and his corporate peer.” Perhaps the most important similarity between labor and management is the atti- tude of-iboth toward the economic state of the nation. “Businessmen like to talk about stability”, said Mr. Nossiter; “sta- bility of prices, stability of mar- ket. They really mean, I am afraid, ‘the sure thing’.” A stable econ- omic situation means a “sure thing” as far as’ profits are con- cerned. But this attitude is not peculiar to the management or ex- ecutive end of business. The work- ers share this feeling, ‘The cru- sading zeal that has characterized the unions in the past is now some- Umbigaum: On Russian Surnames Continued from Page 1, Col. 2 Before becoming a surname these adjectives were the form of the patronymic, the Russian “middle name” which changes in each gen- eration, as it is derived from the mame of one’s father. A recent development, adopted from the western world, is that of the hereditary surname. Its ad- vent created several problems. The patronymic was adopted as the surname, and a new patronymic guffix was developed. However, it was considered a privilege to be named after one’s father, and the permission of the Czar was neces- sary before one could adopt a new patronymic. Since Russia was at that time a very class-conscious nation, the distribution of patro- nymics was done according to classes, ‘The upper classes were permitted to use the new and high- ly desirable “ich”; the middle groups were given “in”; and lower classes were not allowed patrony- mics at all. In the nineteenth cen- tury, however, use of the patro- Have your hair styled at VANITY SHOPPE For The JUNIOR SHOW LA 5-1208 MARCO BIANCO JEWELERS GIFTS OF DISTINCTION 814 Lancaster Avenue Bryn Mawr, Pa.

They are not inclined to protest, and their attitude toward the high- income business executive is bas- ically, “As long as I’m getting mine, he can get his.” This stability-oriented atttude is not simply ingrained in the nature of American (Capitalism. It is a historical] factor, too. “This ero- sion of moral fabric seems to be related to post-war influences,” Mr. Nossiter said. ‘No one has really been hurt.very much by the recent labor-management difficul- ties, and much of the outcry over ‘them has been “forced” and has not been backed by real feelings of outrage. Post-war periods seem to be characterized by an “absence of the capacity for indignation.” The picture, however, is not al- together drab.

If you begin really talking about injustice, you're just bound to include many situa- tions in our own country. But of course there are several other good achievements too.” As examples of these, she men- tioned the excellent “university colleges” attached to English uni- versities which accept African stu- dents from them. They are well- run, she said, and have good fac- ulties of “people who want to be in Africa, to help the Africans de- velop themselves.” The Europeans are beginning to realize that they must help train leaders to succeed them in the time when Africans will be running their own govern- ments all over the continent, labor-management conflicts may be resolved to more or less general satisfaction.
