Foreign Newsmen Query

College Press At Panel

by Suzy Spain

The foreign press met the col-
lege press this weekend at Ham-
ilton College in Clinton, N. Y. The
conference, presented as a part of
Hamilton’s sesquicentennial pro-
ceedings, brought together thirty-
two Foreign Press Association
members representing twenty
countries and about fifty college
journalists representing thirty-two
eastern institutions for a thirty-
hour consideration of the American
student, the American and foreign
press and student participation
(viz. apathy”). The conference,
initiated by the more administra-
tive Hamilton powers, was conduc-
ted by student chairmen and mem-
bers of the college newspaper,
The Spectator.

Panel discussions and a sympo-
sium were the main events of the
conference; the Yugoslav and
Polish press delegates were the
most queried; the female Pakista-
ni press representative was the
most outspoken, and the Washing-
ton and Lee University editor
held the most conservative view of
the Student.

After a briefing session and
lunch Friday the delegates were
divided for four pane] discussions.
The one I was assigned to was
composed of five members of the
overseas press: Dr. Hans Steinitz,
Bund, Berne, Switzerland and Pre-
sident of the Foreign Press Asso-
ciation; Mr. Zivko Milic, Borbo,
Belgrade, Yugoslavia; Mr. Wlady-
slaw Pawlak, Polish State Radio;
Mr. A. Arnold Vas Dias, Nieuwe
Rotterdamse Courant, Rotterdam,
Holland; and Mr. P. G. Krishnay-
ya,. Krishnayya’s Journal, Madras,
India. Students from Hofstra, La-
fayette, Lehigh, Lincoln, Mt. Holy-
oke, Northwestern, Buffalo, Bar-
nard, Washington and Lee and
Bryn Mawr sat opposite the foreign
press at the table.

The two hour meeting was divi-
ded inte two parts, one in which

Guest Play Day;
Schools Compete

Preparations for Bryn Mawr’s com-
ing Sports Day, Saturday, October
28, prove that although physical ed-
ucation for college women may be
dying out in Massachusetts, it has
suffered no such fate in Pennsylvania.
BMC hockey, tennis and volleyball
players will compete against teams
from Barnard, Goucher and Wilson
in a schedule of round robin tourna-
ments lasting from 10 a.m to 4 p.m.

At. 12:30 the visiting participants
will pause for lunch and a brief view
of Bryn Mawr dormitory life in Den-
bigh,; Radnor, Rhoads and Pembroke.
A synchronized swimming demon-
stration conducted by Dale Benson
will highlight the afternoon. _ Sports
Day will be held in spite of gah,
sleet or snow?, but A.A. has joined
several frustrated Ivy League foot-
ball coaches in plans for an October
28 sun dance.

Anyone interested in participating
in Sports Day is urged to speak to
one of the hostesses: Penny Schwind
and: Jo Rosenthal (hockey); Kathy
Johnson (tennis); Anita Williamson
(volleyball); Karen Blu (synchro-
nized swimming) ; Roian Fleck (head
of hostesses); or Ellie Biedler (chair-
man). Spectators will be —— at
all events.

 

 

 

the foreign press quizzed us and
one in which we quizzed them. We
were asked to comment on the fi-
nancial situation of our papers
(Milic), on how a_ publication
could begin (Pawlak), if there
could be two or more papers on a
campus so that opposite opinions
could be represented (Milic), if
our newspapers could run success-
ful campaigns against administra-
tive policies and practices (Paw-
lak), on our sentiments regarding
Nehru, India and neutrality (Krish-
nayya), on our estimation .of the

‘American press (Vas Dias) and

Barry Goldwater (Steinitz). In
regard to the question on India,
Mr. Krishnayya commanded each
of us to “file” a statement of our
opinions to him for publication;
he is held somewhat in disdain by
his fellows for his purely personal
interests, i.e., Krishnayya’s Jour-
nal. And in answering Dr. Stein-
itz’s question we all made the
front page of the Utica daily.

: Milic and Pawlak

The questions we asked the
foreign press were rather heavily
direc towards Mr. Milic and
Mr. Pawlak. In defining the extent
of news coverage in their respec-
tive countries Mr. Pawlak and Mr.
Milic emphasized their freedom in re-
porting and considered this as
comparable to our “freedom of
the press.”

Mr. Milic said that during two
decades of free press, Yugoslavia
was in a “very sad” state and the
results of this were a very poor
country and people recovering
from war and internal revolutions
in_which_ 1,700,000 people died.

“Present-day Yugoslavia is the
result of certain objective histor-
ical considerations and not a
bunch of Communist conspirators.”
He believes he has a free press
because the government does not
intervene; “the paper belongs to
the people.” Mr. Milic said “We
don’t believe that there is an un-
political press. We are leftist, we
are socialist; we fight in the press

~'.| for our-soeialist_ideas, Jourhalists | ;

are politicians. We know what we
want, and we fight for it.” As a

foreign correspondent, Mr. Milic}

never receives instructions from
home. He said the United States
press “completely distorts events
in its policy of selecting news and
items.” He thinks the Yugoslav
press is more objective than the
U.S. press; “we don’t think we
have anything to hide from our
people.” He wanted to know where
the liberal] and leftist papers in
the United States were.

Mr. Pawlak expressed a similar
view of the purpose of the press.
“The Polish press stands on the
ground set by the government. We
think we are giving generally ‘a very
fair coverage of what is going on.
We do not claim to be or want to
be objective in our appraisals. We
are taking firm stands.” Mr. Paw-
lak said ‘that in his country an
extremely wide range of opinion
was permitted, but the press could
not afford to start issues. Its bas-
ic approach was that of construc-
tive argument to get things done.

Mr. Krishnayya thought there
was too much coverage of the
United States in the Indian papers,
and he blames U.S. aid to India
and the free services of the Uni-
ted States Information —
for this.

Answer Questions
On Staff System

The issue of the clarification of
student-staff relationships has died
down, yet there are still some ques-
tions about the Maids and Porters
system which remain unclear in stu-
dents’ minds.

In an*effort to. answer some of
these questions and to present the
point of view of the Administration,
Miss McBride will have an informa!
meeting with students in the near
future.

Although the financial implications
of the Maid .system were discussed
in an open meeting last year, this
subject will probably have to be re-
explained for the benefit of those stu-
dents not present at the time. Stu-
dents might also ask about the oppor-
tunity for student waitressing, and
the possibility of students cleaning
their own rooms,

Another question which concerns
students is the lack of real integra-
tion on the staff. The Administra-
tion will moreover, probably answer
questions in the merits of being on
the staff at Bryn Mawr.

This meeting with the Administra-
tion provides‘ an opportunity to ask
questions of the people who know
most about the Maid system. If there
are uncerain grumblings and com-
plaints, this meeting give the stu-
dent a chance to air them. The exact
time and location will be announced
shortly.

Architect Louis Kahn, speaking
in the first of a series of Under-

ings which he had planned, ex-

For True Self

Is Nietzsche totally negative, or
does he offer a concrete solution. to
the problems he defines? This turn-
ed out to be the core of interest among
the participants in last night’s Phi-
losophy Club symposium on aspects
of Nietzschian philosophy. Mr. Kline
moderated the panel which included
Mr. Ferrater-Mora of the Philosophy
Department, Mr. Schweitzer of the
German Department and Mr. W.
Harry Jellema, a Visiting Lecturer
in Philosophy at Haverford.

False Sops

Nietzsche’s negative approach is
shown, for example, in-his attack on
Christianity, Mr. Jellema showed
how, according to Nietzsche, the val-
ues of the Church are false sops
thrown to the weak. The true char-
acter of Christ was that of a “naive
idiot totally lacking in passions and
in the qualities of a hero.” His life
was a “thrust towards nothingness”
and his death: had no meaning.
Christianity as developed by St. Paul,
provides an outlet for the resentment
and the revenge of the weak. It is
a false facade which engenders a lack
of creativity, a submergence of the
individual. The priesthood is a

Nietzschian Concern Probes

Behind Mask

sham-encouraging hypocrisy.

Many of Nietzsche’s predecessors
agreed that “God is dead” but they
did not realize that since He was
the only justification of these false
values, they can no longer have any
significance. Nietzsche has, there-
fore, destroyed not only religion but
all our “cultural activity” as well.

Replacing Christ

‘Mr. Jellema believes that Nietz-

sche’s “will to power” is his positive.

teplacement for Christianity. It is
not.a desire for physical or political
power but rather a search for self-
mastery, without.a_reference.to God
or tradition.

Mr. Ferrater-Mora expanded
this positive note in Nietzschian phi-
losophy by attempting to sum up the
importance of Nietzsche in our time.
As the early Greeks set the tone for
the ancient world with their onfology
and Descartes did for the modern
world with his epistomology so Nietz-
sche did for the contemporary world
with what Mr. Ferrater-Mora called
“authenticity.”

Behind the mask of false values
can lie only another mask or noth-
ingness. Since one cannot escape
the mask, Nietzsche asks that it be
truly the mask of the self—that one’s
values be set by the individual.

Anti-Systematic

The anti-systematic tendencyin.
Nietzsche not only makes his phi-
lsoophy difficult but his writing beau-
tiful, Mr. Schweitzer said. His dis-

Kahn Asserts Architects’ Duty
Is To Make Institutions ‘Great’

&

near Los Angeles, he described the
planning of the monastery wall,
drawing from this example the
idea that while the law is un-
changeable, there is freedom in
its execution. The wall as an ex-
pression of a law is a solid entity
the exterior of which must fend
off wind and rain, and the inter-
ior of which must give protection
and warmth. Mr. Kahn showed
how he separated the exterior and
interior parts of the wall to cre-
ate a walk in between. This walk
had functional as well as aesthetic
value in that it cooled the interior
more effectively than _ insulation
would have done. The wall ac-
quired curves which created places
to sit in in the walk area and
helped to ward off the wind on the
outside. Thus new freedom was
brought into a law which remain-
ed essentially unchanged.

Before beginning a building for
biological research, Mr. Kahn
talked with the scientists who
would live there. In this manner
he was made aware of the archi-
tectural incompatibility of the sci-
entist’s laboratory with his study,
which, however, needed to be close to
the laboratory. He then went on to
plan the buildings, creating a compa-
tible unit in the “architecture of the
clear air, the stainless steel” (the
laboratory), and the “architecture
of the oak table and the rug” (the
study).

The duty of the architect, he
said, since he always builds for
institutions, be they the institu-
tion_of the home, the school, the
government, is that he make these
institutions great. This is accom-
plished through the use of space,
architecture itself being a
“thoughtful making of spaces.”
Through a uniting of the material
and the idea, ie., the measurable
and the immeasurable, an area be-
comes a space; the corridor be-
comes a gallery; the lobby an en-
trance place.

Mr. Kahn mentioned the im-

his_plans~for the new dormitory
which he is creating for Bryn
Mawr, and said that he had at-
tempted to distinguish each space,

just a series of partitions. He felt
that the building of a dormitory
was one of the most difficult prob-
lems that he had encountered, and
remarked that he was still look-
ing for qualities which make a
“school” great. The building as it
typifies the idea of “school” is an
important function as in rela-
tion to its lesser functions as “an
institution” and “a school.” A dis-
cussion and question period in the
Common Room followed the lec-
ture.

Bomb Shelters

The following two editorials indicate dissension among
the members of the NEWS Editorial Board on the topic.

“Thé family that hides together, dies together,” says
the sign outside a Bryn Mawr room. The radical effects of
radioactive fall-out precipitated this year’s Junior Show.
Wellesley College is building bomb shelters. Rockefeller has
proposed construction of shelters for New York City’s
schools. Obviously people are concerned.

Equally obvious this is not a baseless fear. Just Mon-
day Khrushchev detonated the 22nd and 23rd bombs in the
current terror series, which has increased by 30% the radio-
active debris in the atmosphere. The issue of fall-out shel-
ters, therefore, cannot be ignored or treated lightly.

It seems, however, that this concern is typically Ameri-
can in that it attacks the problem from a distorted perspec-
tive. The essential question is, of course, survival; but bomb
shelters are not the answer. No shelter could be large enough,
no shelter well enough equipped, no shelter could be safe
enough to protect us all. Who is to decide which of us will
survive? Will it be done by shotgun? by lot? What prospects
will greeet those who emerge—barren land, contaminated
food, empty streets.

An honest look into the future will show us the proper
approach to the question. Our concern should not be to save
ourselves after fall-out, but to prevent the bomb from being
dropped. The needless dissipation of energy, time, and money
on the shelter scramble only serves to divert attention from
the major problem.

We are creating a false confidence in our ability to sur-
vive. We are encouraging brinksmanship. Indeed we are
playing ‘Russian roulette’. Such a futile complacency as
these shelters engender can bring no real security either to
ourselves or to future generations. Freedom from fear can-
not be achieved by digging holes in the ground, but by stand-
ing up and facing the issue—we do not want survival of the
fittest and the fewest but survival of us all.

 

Why should we wait, gambling our lives and the future
of men upon idealistic hopes when we are able to take pre-
cautions? Why should we now, in an apathetic humanitarian-
ism, attribute to diplomacy an efficacy that has proved
deficient in the past? Do we really believe that the collapsing
UN, the farcical disarmament negotiations and the jungle-
se Peace Corps are able to protect mankind from him-
sek?

As Russia’s recent 50 megaton explosion vibrates through
conference tables, interpreters, cultural exchanges and brave-
ly smiling college graduates in Africa, some of us would feel
_ more secure—perhaps even more ready to be hopeful—if we
knew we had accessible bomb shelters. Some of us would
sleep more easily under radioactive clouds if we knew we
had protection—just in case those clouds became a storm.

Negotiations might, and probably will, succeed to main-
tain peace; but the risk of total unpreparedness for nuclear
war is too great a gamble to take.

Human beings could survive a nuclear explosion with lit-
tle effort before the detonation. The September 15 issue of
Life states that the chances for survival of the prepared per-
son are 97 out of 100. In the September 25 issue of U. S.
News and World Report, Dr. Edward Teller, a noted atomic
scientist, claims that in case of a hydrogen war one-third of
the population “would not be in danger,” one-third “could be
protected well enough by fallout shelters,” and one-third
- “would be in trouble, but they could have a 70 percent chance

of survival if given decent shelters.”’—

In the event of an attack, pe
main in-selters for more than two weeks. In emerging, they
would find water and food uncontaminated. Radioactive dust
can kill men hut does not destroy food, needing only to be
brushed off.
; President Kennedy stated in the September 15 issue of
Life: “The security of our country and the peace of the world

_are the objectives ©: i
when both these objectives are threatened, we must prepare
for all eventualities. The ability to survive coupled with the
will to do so therefore are essential.”

A college community, like any ot®er community, has the

ability to survive. If it has the will to survive, it has. the

need and obligation to prepare.
Where’s the Liberalism?

To the outside world, Bryn Mawr is considered a “liberal
institution.” What exactly does this phrase mean? We have
liberal social rules instituted by Self-Government in coopera-
tion with the Administration; further, there is an atmos-
phere of intellectual freedom and liberality. When we discuss
social and political issues on a high theoretical plane, we are
liberal. But the issue remains in the abstract and never is
put into practice. ,

Why is our liberality inherent only in the social rules
and abstract intellectualizing? Bryn Mawr prides itself on
being a leader in the intellectual world, which indeed it is.
But why are we so out of touch with the reality of the social
and political world? There should be no such discrepancy
between our thoughts and our actions.

’ When we have serious doubts as to why we are spending

four years at college when there is so much to be.done in the

world, the answer is that our contribution will be a thousand-
fold richer after the four years at Bryn Mawr The prob-
lem is that most of us are deluded into thinking that when
we receive a B.A., go out into the world and get a job that we
will automatically become contributing members of society.
Obviously it is a fallacy to think that one becomes an adult

FOR BRYN MAWR-
With Love and Squalor

by P. D. Salinger*

I’m sitting right now in the god-
dam smoker, with all these people
around and all, playing bridge, for
Crissake. Old Janie is dealing, and
she has these lon} fingernails on her
hands, purple, for \Crissake. Some-
times, though, I really like girls,with
long purple fingernail I mean,
when I’m in this very peculiar mood
and all. I’m crazy, I swear to God.
Now they’ve started playing; I mean,
that’s all they do around here, play
bridge and study, for Crissake—and
old Betsy is the goddam dummy and
all. She has on this very cool old
red skirt, and she’s reading is
book—this little book with a pea
green cover and all, and last night she
was telling me all about it. It’s call-
ed “The Way of a Whore” and it’s
all about this prostitute and all, and
how she reaches this kind of Nirvana
by continuous sexual activity and all.
I swear to God, old Betsy’s a mad-
man. I mean, does she really believe
in that stuff or what?

Well, I’ve got to go study pretty
soon. You know, sometimes I think
I hate this goddam place, I swear to
God. I hate all these really phony
people, trying to be so academic
and intellectual and all; and I hate
these traditions, and all these people
going around pretending that they
love lanterns and owls and all—owls,
for Crissake! It’s all so meaningless;
I mean, it’s all so meaningless. Every-
body here looks like she spent all
summer at the goddam Sorbonne, or
hitchhiking through Mozambique, for
Crissake, or working in some goddam
stock company in Akron, Ohio. It’s
all so small and sad and neurotic.
I mean, it’s all so small and sad and

Curriculum Group
Collects Opinions

The Curriculum Committee, which
met under the direction ‘of Ginny Sitz,
Thursday, October 19, discussed many

tions of general policy, related to the
Bryn Mawr course of study.

The exact nature of honors work

in the various departments was a ma-
jor topic for discussion. It was
brought out that the requirements
and conceptions of honors’ work vary
from department to department. Sev-
eral people questioned the validity
of having honors work apply only to
one’s major subject. It was decided
to devote a whole meeting of the
Committee to these questions.
A suggestion was made to have
a two-day reading period before ex-
ams, to lessen the crush of work
directly before the exam period, One
objection to this plan is that there
is no assurance that a reading period
will be used for purposes of study.
Nevertheless; the plan was taken
under consideration.

The two-language requirement at
It
was felt that many students take one
year of a language merely to “pass
the requirement” and derive little ac-
tual benefit from that one year. On the
other hand, some of those present felt
that knowledge—even a slight knowl-
edge—of two languages was invalu-
able for graduate study.

Standards & Exchange

The exchange of Bryn Mawr-Hav-
erford students came under discus-
sion. Since the two schools do have
different course loads and somewhat
different marki standards, many
felt. it would be ‘Wfficult to further
unite the courses.

opens the series with a panel dis-
cussion among representatives of

ment of his organization.

The aim of this program is to
examine the strengths and weak-
nesses of social service abroad
from both the American and the
foreign points of view; to note
the benefits and handicaps of the

Nuclear Developments Require

a cat, subjected to lysergic acid deri-
vatives, flees from a mouse. We know
that such psychochemicals could be
introduced into a nation’s water sup-
ply, retaining potency despite dilu-
tion or boiling. We wonder if such
drugs will ever be used. We doubt

it, although we hear from the Unit-
td States Army Corps that they will
be used in “war or situations involv-
ing the national security.”

“GB,” a newe gas, easily dissem-
inated and packaged for-delivery by
short-range, long-range, or medium-
range missiles, now being manufac-
tured by the U. S. Army Chemical
Corps, acts like a_super-insecticide,
against human beings. Like DDT,
its effect is instantaneous. A liquid
droplet the size of a pencil dot on
the skin will kill a man within ten
or fifteen minutes. But, of course,
such weapons will never be used.

The United States and the Soviet
Union have massive deterrent sys-
tems. France and Britain have ex-
ploded nuclear devices. Eleven oth-
er nations are technically and econ-
omically able to begin successful nu-
clear weapons programs. Within a
decade fifteen nations could readily
be producing bombs. Who will first
capitalize on the nuclear weapons ex-
port trade?

Accidental demolition is, of course,
impossible. Man is far too intelli-
gent, A radar operator will probably
never mistake a U-2 for a B-52. Me-
teriorites rarely cross through radar
fields. Satellites, soon to be used for
reconnaissance, communications and
weapons transport, probably will not
jam radio communications over an-
other country’s territory, seemingly
justifying attack. “Administrative
accidents” rarely occur. True, not
tong ago a Tunisian village was bomb-
ed by the French military without
the prior consent or knowledge of the
French government. But that was a
maverick occurrence... The French
sometimes have trouble communicat-

From Eiffel Towers - -'-

Junior Year Abroaders Find
Concern, Pessimism Strong

by Josie Donovan
To the Junior Year Abroader just

-about to embark on her year of ad-

venture the word “Europe” conjures
up a vague blur: the Eiffel tower,
medieval castles, bullfights, mustach-
ioed garcons, gemutlichkeit—all melt-
ed into one. The same girl, one year
later, realizes, if nothing else, that
this romantic, carnivalesque Europe
is but a facade: that underneath
there is a high seriousness—a certain
disquietude and uneasiness that is
difficult to put into words.

Our group, which spent the year
in Geneva, commenced with a six-
week orientation program in Paris—
“to brush up on French.”” We were
quartered with families: my hosts

‘purported to be descendants of Char-

lotte Corday, as well as Corneille. In
addition, “Monsieur” would often
reminisce about his five years in the
trenches during World War I. J
mention this as an example of how
vivid and “real” history became dur-
ing the year. Speaking with people

Panel Discussion
Handles Problems
Of City, Suburbs

Local politicians, students and
interested townspeople gathered
Monday evening, October 16, at
Goodhart Hall, for a Town Meet-
ing, sponsored by the Bryn Mawr
Civic Association. Discussion cen-
tered around the problems created
by the conflict of city and suburbs.

Panelists included Congress-
man Schweiker, a Montgomery
County Republican, Township So-
licitor Forsythe, a lawyer and
BMC treasurer, (Planner Long-

 

‘maid of Villanova, formerly of

Bryn Mawr and Philadelphia’s
Mayor Dilworth, a Democrat.

Moderator James Sutten—and
William J. Fucks, president of
the Bryn Mawr Civic Association
were also present. Radio stations
WFIL and WIBG and area news-
papers were on hand to cover the
proceedings.

The--basic question was this:

since there are around one thou-

sand different governments in the
area in addition to Philadelphia’s

gether? Each panelist spoke for

who have spent years in concentra-
tion camps or who have seen their
homes gutted leaves graphic impres-
sions and makes it difficult to remain
detached.

Often I have heard the criticism
that Americans are too indifferent—
too detached. They are concerned
too much with bigger and better cars
and more and fancier gadgets. They
are so concerned with appearances,
that they seem to lack “depth.” In-
deed, one person lamented our lack
of a sense of Greek tragedy.

I think many Europeans’ acute
consciousness of “la condition hu-
maine” stems from their having had
war on their own soil. We, who have
experienced no national humiliation
or tragedy (such as the fall of
France in 1940) have not felt the ac-
companying despair and have not had
to search the ruins for new “raisons
d’etre.” The. European attitude is
manifest in many of their current
films. Could “Hiroshima, Mon
Amour,” for example, have been con-
ceived and produced in the U.S.A.?
We look to the future with com-
parative confidence; many Europeans,
on the contrary, predict and even ac-
cept imminent Western decline and
collapse. They are more aware of
Africa’s rise and more alarmed over
Red China. Many wonder whether,
in the event of a final showdown, the
United States (given our soft, ma-
terialistic existence) would be able
to cope with Red China.

Yet many look to us for some sort
of spiritual revival: witness the pop-
ularity of the New Frontier idea in
Europe. I think they still look upon
us as a “child of the Enlightenment”
who is justified in his “outdated” op-
timism. “You are, after all,” one
person told me, with a dubious shrug,
“our only hope.”

Any contact with another set of

look, I think that therein lies the
value-of the Junior Year program.

 

COLLEGE STUDENTS’
POETRY ANTHOLOGY
The National Poetry Associ-
ation announces its Annual

Competition.

The closing date for the sub-
mission of manuscripts by Col-

Any student attending either
junior or senior college is elig-

 

of this problem.

A panel discussion followed.
Forsythe referred to the western
Ardmore fire as “one of the finest
examples of municipal co-opera-

__tion” in the country. However, af-

-ter that conciliatory introduction
the issues took on a more polti-
cal and controversial tone. In re-
ference to re-apportionment, both
city and suburbs felt they were
suffering.

‘Schweiker, expressing the opi-
nion. that there is a “difference in
philosophy” in the city and sub-
urban approach to problems, was
refuted by Mayor Dilworth, who
“didn’t see why they have to have

’ g different point of view.” He con-

sidered the problems “joint and
mutual” and thought they must be
solved “jointly and mutually.”

A wave of applause greeted

more even status, but the Mayor
insisted that there was equal sta-

tral location ,and position. He
stressed co-operation and com-
pared the present struggle to that
of the thirteen colonies when they
competed among themselves.

In the area of civil defense, the
need for co-operation was parti-
cularly urged.

At times the questioning veered
away from the problems at hand;
at others, inaction, splitting on

World Federalism
Hopes, Problems

“The United Nations: Forum or
Parliament” was the topic discuss-
ed Monday evening by George W.
Holt, a representative of the Uni-
ted- World. Federalists, and Mr.
Melville Kennedy, associate pro-
fessor of political science at Bryn
Mawr College.

Mr. Holt opened the debate by
asserting that “certain black and
white truths” exist in history:
one of these .is that there is no
peace without law. At every level
of society, there is an effective
system of law—to insure order and
security and to deter potential
lawbreakers. On a _ world-wide
scale there is no such system, The
United Nations is about as effec-
tive in dealing with crises like
Hungary as the local P.T.A. would
be in putting down a riot.

“TI don’t look forward to a mis-
ty future where the nations of the
world sit on their stockpiles glar-
ing at each other, building up
hate and fear.” Whereas this kind
of nibbling away at our civiliza-
tion may be better than blowing
it away, the World Federalists
propose an alternative: world gov-
ernment. The forging of legal ma-
chinery would enable a _ world
community to grow in an atmos-
phere that isn’t poisoned by fear
and hate.

Mr. Holt then emphasized the
urgeney of this issue. We cannot
afford to wait, he said, in this at-
mosphere of anarchy, for commu-
nity to form. We must create it—
artificial as it may seem in terms
of past éxperience.

Mr. Kennedy stipulated in his
answering remarks that, whereas

“Being” In Manning Talk

by Suzy Spain

On Tuesday, October 17, the Bryn
Mawr Club of Philadelphia met in
the Deanery for sweetbreads and a
talk by Helen Taft Manning on
“Reminiscing.” Mrs. Manning, Pro-
fessor Emeritus of History, was once
Dean of the College. Retired from
teaching, she now writes history; her
book The Revolt of French Canada
will soon be published. Last year she
represented the American Historical
Association at the International Con-
gress of Historical Science at Stock-
holm,

After hearing these credentials and
regarding the dignified assemblage,
I expected a rather academic set of
reminiscences. But Mrs, Manning,
once standing. and speaking, seemed
almost subversive to the College’s
once-apparently sacred history. Mrs.
Manning’s speech consisted primar-
ily of a series of anecdotes and de-
scriptions of M. Carey Thomas, a
few sentences on Marion Park and
finally an analysis of Bryn Mawr. Her
first comment introduced the thor-
oughly warm and human recollections
she has of the college and the figures
of her undergraduate days. In hear-
ing that Taylor had suffered a fire,
Mrs. Manning’s reaction was “Goody,
goody, now we’ll have a new build-
ing. Miss Thomas never liked Tay-
lor anyway.”

To one who never heard any more
about M. Carey Thomas than that
she was Dean and President of the
College, that the Library bears her
name and the cloisters her body,
Mrs. Manning’s introduction of her
was immediately enlightening. Miss
Thomas was presénted conducting - a.
chapel service on the third floor of
Taylor amidst a fantastically varied
decorative scheme and above the roar
of seasonal avalanches of snow.

The Taylor chapel, extant until the

Neglect of its past is scarcely the
fault one would at once impute te
Bryn Mawr College; yet how
many students trudging past the
Deanery to the Library commem-
orate inwardly (or out loud, for
that matter) Commodore Jesse D.
Elliott, US.N.? I fear. the number
is small indeed, but if his mem-
ory has lost its chlorophyll _ here,
elsewhere it flourishes “verdant.

from John B. Ward Perkins, Dir-
ector of the British School at
Rome, in an article in the Summer
1958 issue of Archaeology. He, at
least, is well aware that on our
campus, daily seen and duly ig-
nored, is a notable Roman sarco-
phagus.

Contrary to popular rumor, the
monument has no connection with
M. Carey Thomas, but was intend-
esd for the remains of Julia Mam-
mea, wife of the Emperor Alex-
ander Severus. This is clear from
an inscription on what Mr. Perk-
ins calls the front of the struc-

ture, which is now turned obstin-
ately towards the hedge around
the Deanery parking lot. A plaque
there reads:
IVLIA. C. FIL. MAMAEA. VIX.
ANN. XXX.

Which he translates, “Julia
Mam (m) ea, daughter of Caius;
she lived thirty years.”

The tomb is of marble from an-|

cient Proronnesus, “today known

‘ax the island of Marmara by the

entrance to the sea of that name.
Proconnesian marble, it seems, was
highly favored by the Romans for
their sarcophagi: These were hol-
lowed ‘out and roughly carved in
a standard design at the quarry
and then shipped to all parts of
the Empire. On arrival, local
workmen finished the fine detail
blocked in at Marmara. These fi-
nal touches were never added to
one side of ours (that side now
facing Taylor Green), and conse-
quently Mr. Perkins hypothesizes
that this side perhaps stood|*
against. the wall of the ancient
tomb chamber.

The Deanery sarcophagus has

building of Goodhart, had a “curious
scheme of decoration, lacking point,
simplicity and taste but containing
many beauties.” Behind the rostrum
was a bust of Savonarola, “scowling

‘\at us,” Mrs. Mannin remembered,

“as if we all had participated in the
evil life of Florence.” On the walls
were Blake’s illustrations of the, Book
of Job, Luca della-Robbia angels and
busts of Dr. Taylor and David Scull.
Henry James delivered a commence-
ment address there and Alfred North
Whitehead came to lecture in his
“mathematical days.”

Mrs. Mannning’s “vivid” memor-
ies of M. Carey Thomas were based
on Miss Thomas’ personality—she
had a “strong sense of the dramatic,”
unique phraseology and much senti-
ment. She believed there was a s80-
luton for every human problem and
loved Constantinople, Mrs. Manning
remembered one chapel -address in
which Miss Thomas reasoned it was
inadvisable to give Constantinople to
the United States because the United
States was too sanitary.

M. Carey Thomas, though a Qua-
ker, considered it her greatest
achievement that she had saved Bryn
Mawr from being a Quaker college.
She thought Quakers had low intel-
jectual standards. (Historians did too,
in her opinion, excepting H. G.
Wells). Miss Thomas, according to
Mrs. Manning, was an evangelist not
ateacher. She had strong prejudices.
Trustees were classed as “wicked” or
“helpful” and she often refused to
have notable speakers to the College
for personal reasons. Her doctrine
was to develop the highest degree of

tion of parenthood; the latter was “too
great a drain on women‘ and though
she admitted that children had to be
born she wanted it done with the
least effort.” This was one of the
human problems for which Miss
Thomas anicipated a solution,

~MarionPark was very diflerent
from M. Carey Thomas, Mrs. Man-
ning said. She held teaching as the
highest of pursuits and based her
prejudices (Miss Thomas didn’t
“base” hers) on moral character. Miss
Park had “wit and warmth” gs op-
posed to her precedessor’s “explos-
ive” character. Mrs. Manning said
Miss Park had a natural gift for
prose which she (Miss Park) felt
the BMC English department had al-
most taken away from her. Mrs,
Manning and Miss Park also_ had.
trouble with another - requirement;
each of them failed an oral.

Mrs. Manning spoke about the
qualities that have “kept Bryn Mawr
going.” “Perfection in its presi-
dents and an appreciation of quality”
were the main factors, In choosing
its students, there has been exercised
a “scrupulous desire to absorb into
the campus the best intellectual ma-
terial it can find.” Variety is es-
sential.

“The Bryn Mawr type,” Mrs. Man-
ning believes, “is a product of the in-
centives to action on campus and is
not due to the selection of students

. . ” What we learned at Bryn
Mawr,” Mrs. Manning said, including
her audience, “was to express our
own opinions freely and often.”

As for the faculty, Mrs. Manning
said that in its earlier days the Col-
lege and M. Carey Thomas had to
select the best “redhot” Ph.D.’s, They
read the Ph.D. theses and chose the
best of the candidates; they usually
came from Johns Hopkins and Har-
vard. She feels that “the stimulus on
campus as a whole comes from active
minds who are still seeking knowl-
edge and are not trying to make
knowledge [amusing].”

Lastly, Mrs. Manning said she
does not believe that all people should
go to college and that colleges should
expand. She would like to see a
modified apprentice system and bet-

* | ter adult education programs to of-

fer people a second chance,

Mrs. Manning’s talk was enlighi-
ening and amusing. She provides
the college with a charming history

Ford Foundation Grants Assist |
Five Bryn Mawrters in Studies

by Marion Coen

When study becomes work the
effects can be gruesome, but when
one’s rk becomes study it is
e reverse. Recipients of
F Foundation Summer Grants
who cogitated and = fact-collected
throaghout the early summer with
the. support of Foundation funds
found study as a summer job de-
lightful indeed.

The grants, of $600 each, are
awarded to five students of the
social sciences for the purpose of
beginning independent research
on their senior year honors project.
Since the research must be done in
fairly close contact with the faculty
adviser, grant recipients have set up
summer house-keeping in the vicinity
of the college, and in general have
been forced to come to grips with
the one social science since vastly ne-
glected at Bryn Mawr, namely
home economics.

Notwithstanding this common
survival course, the grantees, for
the most part, had distinctly dif-
ferent concerns. In economics, Mar-
lene Bronstein was investigating
redevelopment projects in Phila-
delphia’s Powelton Village, while
Faith Halfter studied the prob-
lems of economics of scale in re-
lation of school districting. The
sole sociology major, Sue Johnson,
examined the power structure in
Nether Providence, Pennsylvania.
Barbara Paul, in political science,
concentrated on the planning of
Penn Center in Philadelphia, and
Marion Coen, also in politica] sci-
ence, studied Sovet participation
in the Secretariat of the United
Nations.

While Sue and Faith shared Mr.
Mitchell’s house (in his absence)

shortly. Because’ of the sugges-
tions received in pre-election din-
ners and open campus meetings
held last spring, the basic philo-
sophy behind the charity drive has
been altered. The selection of the
charities is now in the hands of
the students themselves, An at-
tempt is being made to let the
students know what the charities
do.

Thursday, October 26, sheets of
paper will appear on the. bulletin
board in each hall on which stu-
dents may suggest charities which
they wish to be considered. As
soon as possible, literature on all
suggested charities will be placed
in the halls so that girls may fam-

iliarize themselves with the work]:

of these organizations. Subsequen-
tly a primary balloting will be
held in order that girls may select
those charities which they consi-
der most deserving of campus
support. The charities which re-
ceive the largest number of votes
will appear on the donation re-
quest sheets.

This year there will be no ments
gested donation. Students will be
able to apportion their donation
as they see fit. Students will not
be asked to return these sheets if
they do not wish to contribute. A
box will be placed in each hall for
of the sheets. Fol-

gularly, via bike and car, to the
M. Carey Thomas Library where
at least one heretofore unknown
social phenomenon became strik-
ingly apparent. Bryn Mawr stu-
dents may leave in (May, but the
college endures, hardly the less
lively for their departure, right
through the summer. The adminis-
tration is working, and\ the libra-
ry is buzzing with faculty and
graduate students. In fact, on the
day of the Taylor fire there seem-
ed to be more Bryn Mayr people
together on the library green than
at any other known time, convoca-
tion and commencement excluded.

Academic work during the eight
weeks of the grant period was to-
tally independent, except for a
weekly conference with one’s fac-
ulty adviser and a session with the
entire group, (student and faculty),
for exchanging views on research
problems and _ accomplishments.
The projects will continue into the
coming academic year, and the
grantees will meet again at in-
tervals to discuss their progress
and problems.

Juniors in the departments of
economics, fhistory, politica] sci-
ence and sociology are eligible for
the grants. Those interested should
speak with Dr. Wells for more
information.

IntegrationistKing
Asserts Principles,

Of Peaceful Unity

by Judith Frankle

Dr. Martin Luther King, a leader
of the non-violent - desegregation
movement in the United States, ad-
dressed a meeting of student and
adult integrationists in Philadelphia,
October 22. Dr. King described the
principles behind non-violence and
declared that he was not yet satis-
fied with the movement’s achieve-
ments.

way} Explaining his philosophy, Dr. King |]

said that a man must, start out by
recognizing what he is and accept-
ing himself. “Know your, limitations,”
he said, “and, instead i ee to be
something you can never attain to,
be the best of what you are.”

After accepting himself, said the
minister, a man must learn that he
has not become a person until he has
risen above himself and looked at
the.world_as.a-whole... He must re-
alize that all men are interdepen-
dent.

“A man,” said Dr. King, ‘must
say to himself, ‘I will subscribe to a
principle that makes non-injury a
reality in my life. I will avoid not only

‘physical violence but also internal |I

violence.”
Stating this another way, Dr. King
urged his audience to subscribe to a

good will for all men.”

“Non-violence is a powerful wea-
pon today,” he said. “It disarms the
opponent and works on his conscience.
But non-violence is not only useful; it
is necessary. In these times it is
a question of non-violence or non-
| existence.”

On integration, Dr. King declared
himself far from satisfied. He re-
minded his listeners that in the South
the schools are only about 7% inte-
grated. He went on to say that
387% of the Negro families in the
United States make less than $2,000

families that category. This,

Mrs. Collier, ‘28,
Discusses Talent
Of Indian Tagore

Mrs. Charles W. Collier (Nina Per-
era ’28) discussed the Indian poet
Tagore, whose centennial is now be-
ing observed, before a meeting of the
Friends ofthe Library in the Rare
Book Room on October 18.

A Bryn Mawr graduate and friend
of the author who is known as the
“Leonardo da Vinci of India,” Mrs.
Collier spoke of her friendship. with
Tagore, of his life and of his work,
particularly his art.

Rabindranath Tagore was born in
1861 and died in 1941. A poet, phi-
losopher, educator and sociologist, he
wrote over fifty volumes of poetry, as
well as many dramas, novels, essays
and short stories. In 1913,he gained
renown when he won the Nobel Prize
in Literature.

Although Tagore excelled in all
creative forms—weaving, pottery and
leather work, as well as musical com-
position and poetry, he did not start
to paint until he was sixty-eight.

With no preparation or technical
knowledge, Tagore began to develop
the erasures and doodling he formed
on his manuscripts into art. With
“an extraordinary sense of nature”
he began, in a surrealistic fashion, to
produce the “strange faces and strong
forms” which were to characterize
his- art.

Mrs. Collier, referring to Tagore
as a “master of line,” showed exam-
ples of his work which she has lent
to the Library for an _ exhibition.
These paintings and sketches are the
only original works of Tagore in the
United States. Although the artist-
poet produced over two hundred
paintings, only a very few others, in
England and France, exist outside of
India.

 

Hamilton Conference

Continued from Page 1, Col. 2

Other panels considered the
weakness of student opinions,
N.S.A., why the American stu-
dents have a reputation for apa-
thy, religious issues, segregation,
the most imminent issue on cam:
pus, and attitude of students to-
wards the rest of the world.

Fwiday evening five delegates
from the foreign press and five
from the college press addressed
the topic “The Student: Observer
or Participant in a Revolutionary
World.” The panel was chaired by
Mr. John B. Oakes, editorial page
editor of The New York Times.
The panel members were Mr, Vas
Dias, Mr: Easwar Sagar (India),
Miss Marcelle Hitschmann (Pakis-
tan), Mr. Pawlak, Mr. George
Fanin (Italy), Doug Wheeler
(Hamilton College), Connie
Brown (Barnard),
(Trinity), Bill Roberts (Washing-
ton and Lee), and Alan Flaherty
(Cornell).

Each member of the panel had
a few minutes to answer the ques-
tion “Does the American student
participate?” The opinions expres-
sed were varied and as Mr. Oakes
said, very articulate and hence
worth citing, in brief.

Mr. Fanin said that the student
should participate; he presented
the Italian student’s conception of
his American counterpart: he con-
siders the individual student as a
nice, affable person but as a mass,
American students are _ inane,
politically afraid and crushed by
conformism. Mr. Flaherty of Cor-
nell said the student is an analyst,
a dedicated partisan, often arti-
culate and a true force. He would

 

like to participate but has doubts

jabout his competence. Because his

forefathers have never failed he
feels safe and thinks more about
what he can change rather than
initiate. Mr. Pawlak» said that
everyone should be involved and
especially the student. One cannot
be an educated man and politically
apathetic, he stated.

Mr. Roberts (Washington and
Lee) said that a student’s first
duty is to be a student and what
detracts from his ‘studies is bad
for his education and bad for so-
ciety. The student does not have
the experience or knowledge to
act; in scholarship he answers for his
time. Miss Hitschmann said that
after thirteen years in the United
States she is still incapable of mak-
ing any generalizations. She found
the Hamilton campus a good place
to get away from everything in
this world. She said the American
student is too concerned with es-
tablishing his own security; there
is too, much of a tendency toward
settled life; marriage comes too
soon. Americans then have no time
or spirit of adventure and they
never question themselves. Amer-
ican students have different values
and too good a life to become in-
volved. “For us to go to jail is
not unique,” she concluded, “for
you it is,”

observation. She is however
against the “Big I who sees all
and does nothing and the Blind
Rioter.” A student must observe
and get a background in facts,
digest, take sides and then par-
ticipate. She cannot understand
how students can divorce them-
selves from world affairs. Mr.
Sagar (India) had the impression
‘that politics is something that
American students intended to
take up later. He found a contra-
diction in the terms of “apathy”
and “lack of security.” He felt if
one is .observing intelligently one

|is participating. Doug Wheeler

(Hamilton) said that American
students were put’ in the position
of defending themselves for not
participating or rioting enough.
He thinks students should react in-
dividually and that riots do not
allow one to think for himself.

Mr. Vas Dias analyzed the
American student’s attitude not
as conservatism, but conservation.
He thinks students are generally
well-informed and opinionated. “By
all means stick your necks out,”
he advised. Lastly, George Will of
Trinity said that in education we
must consider what our goals are;
“we will have no right to com-
plain about the world we inherit
if we do not make some attempt
to contribute to it today ... if
we divorce ourselves from society,
we will have a heavy alimony. to
pay later,” he said.

After two hours of listening
Mr. Oakes concluded that students
must come to realize that they
must participate. There is no
such thing as foreign news today
he said, quoting someone who re-
mained anonymous; all news affects
us.

Crossroads’ Report, Peace Corps’ Card

Demand Honest Appraisal, Criticisms

EMERGENT AMERICANS

“The Emergent American,” a re-
port by Harold R. Isaacs on the
Crossroads Africa program, describes
the reactions of young Americans to
ehanges in world conditions. The re-
vort, to be published in book form
this spring, calls for the American
to evolve a new sort of self-esteem
for himself.

Mr. Isaacs, studying the feeling of
Crossroaders. about their summer’s
experience in Africa, discovered that
Americans ‘are so_ burdened -with a

that they repress honest judgments
on the state of that world. He said
that the Crossroaders were afraid to
deplore poor sanitary conditions, in-
efficiency or what they did not like
in their diet in Africa for fear that
others might think them to be vaunt-
ing ethnic superiority. They are,
he said, so eager to accept the cus-
toms. and culture of other nations
that they refuse to form ‘personal
opinions on anything they encounter.

Mr.’ Isaacs imputed Americans’
guilt to reaction against former eth-
nocentrism, against colonialism and
against America’s wealth. “Emergent
Americans,” he explained, are acute-
ly self-conscious about their ‘country
and take great pains to be objective
on world affairs.”

Mr. Isaacs declared that elements
in any culture which are undesirable
and damaging to decency and pro-
gress can be recognized “without re-
gard to anyone’s race, creed, color or
national sensitivity.”

Ending with advice to the “emer-

gent American,” the author said, “He |
has to learn how to be unsparingly
critical of himself without being too
uncritical of others. He has to re-
ject those things in his own society
which need to be changed. But he
has also to be proud of those things

in his society of which he has a right |

to be proud.” He urged Americans
to reappraise their own values and
to “learn to hold them in a new
way” but not to discard them com-
pletely.

he whole-heartedly supports world
government as an ultimate goal
(in fact, he would like to see a

ed on campus), he has certain re-
“ servations as to timing and me-
thod.

First, Kennedy criticized the no-
tion of “constitution-creating” as
an extension of the social-con-
tract theory. Doesn’t this position
hold an exaggerated image of
“Man’s power to create history?”
he. asked. We are assuming that a
constitution could be created all at
once; whereas, history proves that
constitutions have resulted from,
not triggered the _ evolutionary
process.

Another problem is that of sov-
ereignty. There is no instance in
history of a state abnegating its
own power for the sake of a lar-
ger good. Neither can law be im-
posed on states to force them to
combine and adhere.

Mr. Kennedy particularly doubt-
ed the willingness of Russia “to
read the handwriting on the wall.”

THE PEACE CORPS

by Josie Donovan |

Poor Margery Michelmore. Poor
Peace Corps. Poor United States
image abroad. Once again it seems
we meant well—but . . . This time
the lyrics area little different but
the; tune is hauntingly familiar.
This time the incident involved
Margery (a member of the Peace
Corps contingent in Nigeria) and
a post card (which, as fate would
have it, fell into the hands of
several Nigerian students, who

‘were also acutely conscious of their

national imagé abroad). The mes-
sage on the card, instead of dis-
cretely sticking to the “Wish you
were here” line, registered Mar-
gery’s shock at the “squalid” liv-
ing conditions found in Nigeria.
Reaction on campus, though var-
ied, seems to agree that the _inci-
dent was “unfortunate.” Some
feel, however, that it was blown
way out of proportion. It was, as
one student put it, “a tempest in
a teapot.” That the girl should
feel compelled to resign was termed
“ridiculous’— and the Peace
Corps should not have accepted ‘the
resignation. It should be realized
that Peace Corps-ites are human
and that such incidents are bound
to happen again and again. Per-
haps by postulating the reverse
situation one attains a _ certain
perspective: “suppose a Nigerian
student in the United States sim-
ilarly described — say the slums
of Washington, D. C. - So
what? We would agree with him

. It’s an objective fact.”

One student, however, termed it
“an example of the bungling the
Peace Corps can do .. . It shows
how.a boo-boo in Nigeria can re-
flect against the whole country’—
given the ‘Peace Corps as a gov-
ernment sponsored organization.
The role of the government should
instead be to encourage private
groups in this realm: this would
prevent such incidents~from tar-
nishing official policy.

One member of the faculty
thinks that the excitement over
the post-card incident is what “old
D.A.R. ladies would like to make
of it.” She thinks that it is un-

jimportant in that. it could not en-

danger the future of the Peace
Corps. She feels that the girl in-
volved has acted “sensibly” and
has “learned from the incident.”

It must be said, nevertheless,
that Margery’s literary efforts
would never have achieved world-
wide fame had they not been dis-
covered by the African students.
Her words are not that startling
on this side of the Atlantic—
which only serves to emphasize the
differences between the two cul-
tures—and the values they hold
dear. It shows how much we have
to learn about African pride.

 

There is a “diabolical division be-
tween East and West.” Our views
of the world are so different that

even minimal common interests are |*

scarce. The communists’ “sublime
confidence that history is on their

side” makes it unlikely that they].

would be interested in world gov-
ernment.

In his “rebuttal” Mr. Holt claim-
ed that the common denominator
bridging the chasm between the
two blocks already exists: It is a uni-
versal fear and concern and
tc prevent the annihilation of the
race. “An attack from Mars should
not be necessary” to provide the
common impetus.

The highly idealistic nature of
Mr. Holt’s position was made
evident by Mr. Kennedy. In indi-
cating the many seemingly insur-
mountable obstacles, he brought
the discussion down to earth.
Nevertheless, it is refreshing and
inspiring to know that idealists
exist in this cynical world, even if
they are “100 years ahead of

 

 

their time.”

“Work Abroad’’ - -

 

by Juli Kasius

It was about this time last year
that. I decided to find out the mean-
ing behind that cryptic group of let-
ters—AIESEC—which kept cropping

up in hall announcements, I even
went so far as to fill out an appli-
cation blank, Eight months later I
was in Paris.

In the meantime I had found out
that AIESEC is an international job
exchange program for students in
economics.: It briginated in Europe
where it is required of students work-
ing for degreees in the field of eco-
nomics that they spend a certain
amount of time as a trainee in a
business organization. It is the pur-
pose of AIESEC to provide an un-
derstanding of the economic system
of a country other than your own
at the same time this traineeship is
being fulfilled. AIESEC spread to
the United States about five years
ago and is a continually growing or-
ganization both in this country and
in the more than twenty other coun-
tries which have national AIESEC
committees.

The question that comes to mind
when considering AIESEC at Bryn
Mawr is whether or not the female
undergraduate student in liberal arts
can find a place in such an organi-
zation. The answer is that she doesn’t
find a very big one. This is to say
that a student with only a one year
survey course in economics is in no
position to give anything of an eco-
nomically practical nature to a for-
eign firm or to receive anything of
an economically practical nature
from them.

My company did everything it could
for me. I was taken on many dif-
ferent tours of the laboratories and
shops where they designed and fab-
ricated the very complex radio ma-
chinery which they make for ships
and airplanes. I spent one day on a
tour of Orly airport with two of the
men from my company and two en-
gineers from Chile for whom the
tour was ‘being given, visiting the
radar stations and the various com-
munications centers of the airport.
Since much of the machinery at Orly
|is the product of the-eompany_I was
with, our tour was taken into many
places which are forbidden to the
‘public.

During the five years I was with
Ateliers de Montages Electriques
there were two letters which had to
be written in English before they
were sent out. I was able to help.
with these although many of the tech-
nical terms were outside my knowl-

ticular day We
for lunch, and the gentleman-who-ar-|#

 

edge of English, let alone French. I
spent a good deal of time reading
various economic publications which
contained information about the Com-
mon Market 4nd its effect on the
economies of the participating coun-
tries. I spent the last three weeks
of my traineeship observing in the
buying department where the very
complex methods of \rdering were
explained to me.

Fortunately, my preconceived no-

tions of the Parisians were not ful-
filled. Instead of the cold contempt
I had been told by so many to expect,
I found the people on the whole very
anxious to be helpful and extremely
tolerant of my Finch, which had lain

fallow for two years. The _peo-
ple in my company would often
take hours off to inquire about my
impressions of Paris and the French
and how their country compared with
America, They were particularly
interested in. comparing the living
and working conditions of the two
countries.

Their work day is generally about
two hours longer than ours, and,
rather than stagger their vacation
in order to keep the firm open all
year, the majority have an an-
nual closing which lasts for three or
four weeks. In Paris the “fermeture
annuelle” usually comes in August
which is when the Parisians abandon
their city to the tourists. My firm
was no exception, and I was released
for my “vacation” on July 28.

There -are certain customs among
the French which both intedosted and
amused me. Chief among these is the
custom of shaking hands. Out of
curiosity I kept count one day and
found that during a morning I shook
upwards of twenty different -hands.
It was the rule among my company
that once you-had shaken hands with
someone you did not shake hands
with that person again until you
were ready to say goodbye in the
evening. If someone tried to shake
your hand twice during the day, you
were obliged to quickly withdraw and
goodnaturedly remind them of the
circumstarices under which you had
shaken hangs earlier. On one par-
e eating artichokes

 
 

rived late was faced with two alter-
natives — to shake eight butter-cov-
ered hands or forego the custom. He
solved the problem, however, by giv-
ing us each a sincere grab of the
wrist as he bid us “bonjour.”

A custom among the group with
whom I ate lunch was to induige in a
game of dice called “4-21” every day

after lunch. The losers were obliged to.
pay a certain amount of money to the
kitty from which funds were drawn
to pay for the coffee which we drank
while we played. M. Frichet, my
employer, paid for my losses, which
embarrassed. me, but no one would
hear of having it any other way. Ii
was during these dice games that
I picked up the French slang which
they delighted in teaching me and
loved to hear thrown back at them.
“Such progress—now she is: really
French,” they would say. That, in
turn, delighted me.

The summer has left me with mix-
ed emotions about the AIESEC pro-
gram: I consider the five weeks I
spent in Paris probably the most val-
uable weeks I have ever spent any-
where because of the opportunities
it provided to improve a foreign lan-
guage and to live closely with a group
of people in a foreign country. I will
always fee] guilty, however, for get-
ting paid for doing nothing, My em-
ployed told me over and over again
that, of course, they could give me
secretarial work to do, but that was
not what I had come to them for,
and that they wanted me to get
something more than secretarial ex-
perience out of the time I spent with
them. If, perhaps, it could be em-
phasized among the employers that
students with no extensive practical
training should be given some sort
of work to do, no matter how mun-
dane, this feeling of being a charity
ease abroad would be eliminated..

I would not discourage anyone with
the required 101 course in economics
from: applying: to AIESEC, and I
would encourage those with a knowl-
edge of a foreign language to apply
to. a country in which that language
is spoken. I would be happy to talk
with anyone who has questions about
the AIESEC program or who is sim-
ply interested in knowing more about
what a summer with AIESEC entails.
Contact me in Radnor. Fair warning:
you may never shut me up.

Hungry

by Brooks Robards

The refrigerator is an essential
need of every family group, By
keeping a readily available supply
of food on hand, it has.become the
individual’s. ‘symbol of security: a
mother image. The individual who
has the privilege of raiding the
refrigerator is more stable as a
result of this privilege and the
sense of power which it brings.

Unfortunately, the family groups
in the community of Bryn Mawr,
the dormitories, are deprived of
this» essential need. Visions of
drumsticks, oranges, quarts of
milk and other goodies can never be
actualized.

The urge to horde food, which
is of course basic to the signifi-
cance of the refrigerator image,
can not be successfully suppressed,
and since this urge finds no out-
let on the Bryn Mawr campus in
the normal procedure of “raiding
the réfrigerator,” students are
forced to stash food inside bureau
~drawers, on closet shelves and on
window ledges. Although this may
be temporarily satisfying, it
proves frustrating in the long
run, for the plight of the student
who returns to her room to find
a package of cheese ravaged by
ants or her bananas and oranges
covered with heavy flies is a com-
mon one.

In several halls, students are
permitted: to use the bottoms of
coke machines, but. this too is an
unsatisfactory. solution of the
problem, since the coke machines
are kept locked except during book
store hours. Thus students relate
their use to hall meals, unsatisfac-
tory substitutes for the refrigera-
tor, since they cannot be turned
to in any hour of need.

Some of the luckier dorms have
coolers,* the equivalent of the
early refrigerator, the “ice box.”

Students Seek Refrigerators
To Satisfy Need For Mother -- Image’

Here perhaps Bryn Mawr comes
closest to re-creating the image
of the refrigerator. But somehow
the student’s joy is dampened
when, on opening the lid of the
cooler, she is overwhelmed by the
odor floating up from improperly
cooled food, On looking into the cool-
er, a student will find an unsanitary-
looking chunk of ice which melts in-
effectually into puddles of water be-
fore cooling any food.And so defeat-
ed, the student wearily returns to her
room to munch on, cookies, her
most basic needs unsatisfied.

A look at the unrest on cam-
pus shows how essential the refri-
gerator image is to the student,
and one might venture to say that
unless the situation is ~ quickly
remedied, the college will find it-
self overwhelmed not only by
emotionally unbalanced individu-
als; but by ants and fruit flies as
well. Oh, for a refrigerator!

he donated to the nation as a tomb

Jackson declined the honor, how-

his democratic principles. After a
stay at the Patent Office, the mon-
