sc cinianen ™ ai, VOL XLIll, NO. 14 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 1958 © Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1958 PRICE 20 CENTS Three-College Orchestra Acclaimed For Competently Performed Concert by Anne Farlow An enthusiastic audience greet- ed the combined efforts of the Bryn Mawr-Haverford Orchestra, part of the Swarthmore College Orchestra, Dr. Reese, and Mme. Jambor in Friday night’s concert in Goodhart. By adding the Swarthmore members to the usual Bryn Mawr-Haverford combina- tion a full-fledged orchestra was able to present a varied and gen- erally well executed program. The first half of the concert was characterized by music which was well suited to the orchestra’s abilities and consequently played with assurance and spirit. The opening work was the Concerto Grosso Op. 6, No. 3, by Corelli. The concertino was Marcia Leigh, Thomas Souders, and Bob Martin. The piano. did not seem necessary as a support to these most competent players and served only to blur the other- wise sharply defined concertino- wipieno effects. The ballet suite “Cephale and Procris” by Grety* Mottl which followed utilized much of the variety the orchestra ‘was able to produce. Complete from piccolo to percussion, it must have been difficult for Dr. Reese to-co- ordinate this piece, but it was well done. Nathaniel. Ward from Swarth- more was the soloist in the Con- certo for Oboe and Strings by Cimarosa, The balance between strings and oboe was excellent. Although he usually anticipated the beat which Dr. Reese set, Mr. Camp Counsellors Are Badly Needed by Sandy Grant For fun with a challenge this summer, have you thought of camp counselling? Counsellors are being recruited now for Bryn Mawr’s Summer Camp, located at Stone Harbor, New Jersey. The camp is run en- tirely by Bryn Mawr students, with the professional aid of a nurse and a cook. We hope to staff the camp with a director and six counsellors from the student body this summer. Some previous camp- ing experience is preferred but not essential. The. director receives a salary of $100, The other counsellors’ re- wards, though not monetary, are abundant and have special signi- ficance for the future teacher, so- cial worker, or mother. The camp- ers are underprivileged little girls from the slums of Philadelphia. There is ample evidence from what the children say and from the grateful reports of the social work agencies that recommend the children to us that the experi- ence is genuinely fun and worth- while for the campers. The camp season this year will probably run from the fourth week |: in June until the first week in August, wit o 2% week ses- sions each with 15 to 20 campers, ages 8 to 11. League Board mem- bers in the East will welcome in their homes during the interval between the end of school and the beginning of the camp season any counsellors: who live in the Mid- west or on the West Coast. If you are interested in a posi- pidaine see your League hall rep or Sandy Grant in Rhoads as soon be e played by|- Ward (proved otherwise a most capable soloist. Following the intermission Mme. Jambor was the soloist in the Piano Concerto in D minor by Mozart. The concerto was not as finished as the rest of the pro- gram, probably because, of the lack of experience of most mem- bers of the orchestra in playing this type of concerto. Mme. Jam- bor improvised both: cadenzas, an unusual practice in the 20th cent- ury. They were non-virtuoso, and seemed more in the style of Jam- bor than of Mozart. Mme. Jambor, Dr. Reese, and the orchestra were all applauded long and loudly, ex- pressing the audience’s apprecia- tion and enjoyment of the concert. Conference Gains Speaker: Goldman by Alex Van Wessem The Bryn Mawr sponsored con- ference, to be held on April 12, promises to be well worth waiting for. Delegates from twenty dif- ferent schools in the area and faculty members will meet then to discuss the topic, ‘Can Democ- racy Survive in America?” To begin with, there will be re- gistration in the Commons Room from 10:15 to 10:45, after which Miss McBride will make opening remarks. Then Mr, Ros- siter will speak, with Mr. Com- mager concluding the morning session. The delegates will visit in vari- ous halls for lunch. In addition, a special luncheon is planned for the speakers, members of the panel, and those who helped plan the conference. From 2:15 until 3:15, the panel discussion wil be held; the major themes under discussion will be education, mass media, and the American character. The panel, since it is composed of visiting professors, Bryn Mawr professors, and several students (in different departments), should present a variety of views. Following this discussion, Mr. Eric Goldman, of Princeton University, will speak. It is very much hoped that Bryn Mawr will be well represented at the panel discussion as well as at the lectures. Such a conference takes a great deal of foresight and planning, as anyone who is working on a com- mittee “will readily tell you. But it cannot provide the necessary .udience. Although Haverford, Swarthmore, and Penn State will be well represented, it is up to Bryn Mawr to manifest an active interest in current world problems by participating in the confer- e.ice. So please circle April 12 on your calendars in red, and plan . our weekend accordingly. If you have a date, bring him along, If you wish, in addition, to help as a hostess, do contact Sue Shapiro in Radnor, or Carolyn Franco in Rock, if you have not .lready signed up. e Notice | On Sunday, March 9, there will be a program of religious music presented jointly by °-the Bryn Mawr College Chorus and the Le- high University Glee Club, with | bass _ensémble. _.

Roger: “I'll carry you off to a cannibal isle.” Voice from the back of Skinner: Be careful not to tear that thing you’re standing on. It’s a back- drop.

Another addition to the pro- gram is Ghida Shabandar, who will perform two short Manuppri dances. These are dances of reli- gious symbolism, and for them Ghida will wear the traditional sari, and bells on the ankles. On the technical side of the production, Sue Jones, stage man- ager, finds few difficulties. Because of the many different kinds of acts to be given, there will be very little scenery, and that will be mainly of the suggestive variety. Most. props, even. a vintage tele- phone for Sweeney Agonistes and a tobacco plant for the dance club, are being unearthed after only comparatively minor girl-induced earthquakes. But ... “Does any- one have a Buddha? ” In case you have forgotten, Arts Night (under the able direction of Kathy Kohlhas) will take place ‘Saturday, March 8, at 8:00 in Skinner Workshop. It’s a good way to start the evening (in case announced proudly, “There will be) on-are going” to the Haverford a piano in Skinner.” The piano will make it posisble, among other 8 p.m. things, for the Harmony Class to Prom afterwards), or. it can be‘ an equally worthwhile end in itself. Vote Definitely Favors A Longer Year In addition to the specific ans- wers the juniors were asked to list their own comments and sug- gestions. Some of the most fre- quent were: Night classes; travel time for vacations; the possibility of being dismissed at lunch time cations, and several requests that students be allowed to change the examination schedule as it would be individually convenient, or else arrange their own exam schedules. Comments also came from par- ticular areas of the poll to qualify the answers given. In response to the query on reading periods some students asking for extra time wished to employ it in special projects on an individual basis to be connected with the major sub- ject. One person even suggested a six week semi-academic, semi- employment program, with ‘ jobs also connected with the major sub- ject to be furnished by the col- lege. Other people felt that the addition of a reading period would only cater to the procrastinating side of human nature. Many thought that new work assigned would exceed the limits of the time to be allotted for it. The scheduling of papers caused some alarm among those to whom Christmas vacation is an invalu- able work period. A few who are accustomed to use the vacation in this way, are dissatisfied with the arrangement and would prefer a rest; others feel that during Christmas they can work in a more relaxed manner, and at their leisure. Generally the idea of taking exams before writing papers met with disfavor, as people for the most part feel that writing a paper is an aid to writing an quested more freedom in the scheduling of papers, in order to coordinate their own schedules, or expressed a request that the semester’s reading might be light- ened when the time comes for paper writing. The much discussed question of monitored classes found a per- haps surprising conclusion; with a majority voting that the sys- tem be retained. Answers either definite terms, Those favoring monitored classes had little faith record was a definite stimulus to regular attendance. Others thought that the monitor. system provided “valuable infor- also for the student.” The evidence that she has not cut can also getting low grades; one person suggested. At the half-way point were some who felt that monitored classes were important in the freshman and sophomore years, but unneces- sary in advanced classes or lab- oratories. Still others felt strongly that since both student and _ professor come to class, the monitor system, Was . unnecessary, and attendance | ought to be the student’s own - responsibility as much as other areas of the academic program. for Thanksgiving and spring va-. examination, But several people re-. yes or no were expressed in very. in self-discipline, and felt the cut. mation for the dean’s office and work in her favor, if she has been. really knew when a person had ™~ connect @ Page two ‘ THE COLLEGE NEWS Wednesday, March 5, 1958 THE COLLEGE NEWS FOUNDED IN 1914 + a Published weekly during the College Year (except during Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter holidays, and during examina- tion weeks) in the inierest of Bryn Mawr ‘College at the Ardmore Printing Company, Ardmore, Pa., and Bryn Mawr College.

For the second time this year the News is publishing the tabulated results and summarized comments of a student poll concerning a so-called controversial area of college life. For-the second time, the results are not radical, but signifi- cant. The ultimate defense of tradition in the undergrad questionnaire surprised some, cheered many, disappointed others. The junior class poll on the schedule can boast no such conclusive opinions, but where it it less definite than the non-academic questionnaire, it also strikes deeper. Its mass of opinion, seen at first, hand, assumes an order which can attest its general validity as a representative statement. By roposing a few answers, it indicates several trends. The emands for a longer year, more time for papers, and a read- ing period indeed show that the question of the schedule an immediate one—and not so much even in its direct effect on the present population, half of whom are automatically excluded, as in its implied issues and their associations. In this region the poll answers hint at other questions perenially | under. discussion on other contemporary campuses—those- of the student and the academic tradition. -. Although an awareness of and concern for the strain of work-under the present distribution of academic pressures was.uppermost in nearly all minds, this was not accompanied by: any. suggestion for changing the. amount of this work. Despite complaints we are basically satisfied, and in the long run willing to give whatis demanded. These comments on pressure, requests that reading assignments be lightened during the paper-writing season, or the hopes of longer vaca- tions for work or relaxation do seem to indicate, however, that many feel that they do not now have time to explore their special intellectual interests, or pursue bits of knowl- edge outside the fixed academic program. The present con- centration of work already absorbs all the interest and energy that the individual can offer. And thus people may be said to feel that the changes in the schedule should be academic changes—in the sense that they are directed toward improv- ing the efficiency of, and expanding the work program, al- lowing fresh time, rest and enthusiasm. This is after all, exactly what ought to be hoped; and yet we wonder about these unexplored interests. While their neglect: is not really a result of the work pressure, which all the time is creating valid interests of its own, it is probably with it. Special interests are never really excluded, but they are often not included, and we suspect a great many people on campus might be, or might like to be concerned with a great deal more than they presently seem. As a sub- stitute for actual ideas we are perhaps developing what may be termed an intellectual conscience about areas in which we should have ideas. Perhaps this is a key to a problem. We are, as students concerned each with changes in a small world of direct influence and concern, but the actual contin- gency of this world and its changes to other worlds and their changes must be forcbily brought home to us before we are willing to give those other worlds our concern. | On the other hand we can be deeply and intimately bound in an academic life without this special world or department's stimulating any active interest, thought or action. This is liable to be true if we cannot see the relation or relevance of outside events to our close academic studies. We may resent what is actually at this time an advantage, the fact that we are not called upon to apply thought and action to the prob- lems which concern the average person, and in this we ignore the opportunity of dedicating ourselves to a particular action, or calling upon our resources’te develop disciplines which may sométime be applied to a wider field. - Finally, however, all pressures should themselves gener- dte the spirit necessary for meeting them. They may in ad- dition formulate their own ideal circumstances, by forcing change and modification of the existing circumstance. This should be the relation between the intellectual tradition and the technical problems of the academic schedule. Existing disciples, such as the succession of papers and examinations in the semester have been acknowledged as valuable already by many juniors answering the poll. What was requested was less a general ruffling up than a smoothing of present mechanical obstructions, whcih may in the long run prove intellectual stumbling blocks both in specific and general areas. More time, the students seem to feel, wuold allow them to tie loose ends, to grasp the semester’s work a: little ‘more closely and also to relate it to other fields. ___. This relation to other fields is no doubt a hopeful begin- ~~ ning for the wider contemporary concern we have discussed. _ It is certainly an enriching, not a watering down of the aca- n; and one evidence now present of this ten- number of interdepartmental majors or eee pp a * the work: of lumns wre represented a8 p70 ds | shado dows, and eventually a vista t|style emerged, with views of dis- Off The Bookshelf “THE SILENT GENERATION” by Betsy Levering Last spring Otto Butz, a Ger- man - born, Canadian - educated young man, currently an assistant professor at Princeton University, approached twelve Princeton sen- iors with the proposal that they each write an essay, for anonymous publication, dealing generally with these questions: “What do you want out of life? What do you want to contribute to life? Has your background affected you in this? ‘What do you think of hap- piness, success, security, God, edu- cation, marriage, family, and your own generation? What, if any, moral problems have you encoun- tered or do you expect to have to face? How do you relate yourself to America’s -future and the fut- ture of mankind in general?” The eleven completed essays re- sulting are juxtaposed by editor Otto Butz in a volume entitled The Unsilent Generation (Rine- hart, $2.95). It might be wise to enter a cave- at to the effect that this collection of essays is not an essentially lit- erary effort. As is true in any col- Iction ‘or. anthology, the writing is uneven—some of the essays are over-colloquial, some, at the op- posite pole, are ponderous, Others, however, are highly literate, eru- dite, and occasionally brilliant; the general level of the writing, indeed, | is high, The purpose of the essays, and of the collection taken as a unit, is soul-searching. That this is the purpose of the individual essays is clear from the questions, Mr. Butz, in his introduction, says that he hoped that articulate intro-spec- tion and self-examination by in- dividual members of this genera- tion would to some extent serve to lay bare the thoughts and val- ues of the generation as a whole. Anonymity has led to what is at once a fault and a virtue of The Unsilent Generation—the fusion of the ideas and personalities of eleven Princetonians into an im- pressionistic picture of the rising young man, and what he thinks. The pronoun “I” has much to do with the mechanics of this fusion, since it is at once the only re- course of the individual essayist for identifying himself, and the re- course of all of them. The lines become blurred: the reader will have a hard time remembering whether it was the future Army Career Man or the boy from the exclusive suburb of a Midwestern city who vehemently attacked “loosening morality.”’ . But the positive value of the fusion is that the book speaks, nd speaks well and clearly, of, if not for, what is somehow a glum and amorphous generation. ; ; The essays themselves fortunate- ly varied in their approach. Many tackle their opinions and values autobiographically. Again, for- tunately, the essayists are not all Protestant exurbanites, so their backgrounds, religious, economic, educational and social are various and interesting. However, no one spoon-fed from Some Came Run- ning,, Battle Cry, et al, is going to find the personal details very lur- id. Others do less of this grotind- work: less preface and more phi- losophizing. .One final senior deals with his background not at all, but concentrates, with lucidity and in- telligence, on his generation. This essay, the last in the book is a poignant critiqge on the other ten. The surprise element in the pro- fessed philosophies and values of these seniors is that they are es- sentially not radical, not shocking. The essays are on the whole hon- est and mature, indicative neither of devotees to great causes, nor of harum-scarum rebels, but of indi- viduals who have faced up to the fact that 99% of the issues are grey, and not pearly grey at that. As thought-inspired as these es- says are, they can scarcely miss being thought-provoking. The Un- silent Generation is surely rec- ommended, though not required, reading. Professor Trendall Discourses On Four Syles of Wall Paintings In Pompeii “Pompeiian Painting” and the development of ancient wall paint- ing were discussed by Professor A. D. Trendall, Master of Univer- sity House, Canberra, Monday night in the Common Room. In his lecture, Professor Trend- all stressed Rome’s artistic influ- ence on Pompeii and its develop- opment of four styles: incrusta- tion, illusion, screen, and a com- bination of illusion and screen. The first style, a variant of traditional Hellenistic wall deco- ration, is not found later than 80 B.C., and is \jspread throughout the Hellenistic world. Its basic characteristic is a tripartate rep- resentation of architectural struc- ture, with a cornice, dado, and base. The cornice was often deco- rated-in stucco relief, later sup- planted by painted frieze. Large figured mosaics (such as_ the Alexander Mosaic) frequently ac- companied by . the encrustation style to create a feeling of space. The use of painted columns..to the second style. Gradually the jecting from the wall and casting give an illusion of depth heralded were applied against landscape. Flat surfaces, a reaction against the impressionism of the second style, were reintroduced in the third period, characterized by slender architectural elements, con- centration on detail, and soft coloring. A wall might well be decorated with screens, columns, and framed vistas. _ The fourth style reconciled the conflict between the complete illu- sion of the second and the partial illusion of the third; many of the best-known examples of Pompeiian painting (the House of the Vettii is representative) date from this period, redecorated after the earthquake of 62 B.C. The early Christians adapted this style for the catacombs until its resurrec- tion by Constantine. Despite some difficulty with the slide operation, the audience was able to appreciate the beauty of Professor Trendall’s brilliant slides, many of which covered un- published materia].

Remarks OnNasserPre-Conceived To the Editor of the College News: Your editorial of Feb, 12, entitl- ed “Remarks on the Near East” was one that no college such as Bryn Mawr should have in its weekly paper. It was not written by an enlightened and unbiased student, but it is an article that could have been put together by a bitter small-town editor from material gathered from a series of city editorials. It seems to me in- credible that a student living in such troubled times as ours should not make an effort to understand the conditions of other countries, by. using her own mind to_ think originally (instead of sitting back and using other people’s well-worn ideas), and: thereby ameliorating the present prevailing conditions of misunderstanding. The whole editorial was based on a pre-conceived notion:. Nasser and his followers are grasping, cunning, ferocious, and dictatorial. I personally doubt very much whether the writer of the article had thought very deeply on the validity of this concept., Besides, are not all these terms relative? What may seem cunning to one party might be thought of as shrewd to another party. No effort was made by your editorial to grasp the relativity in the problem of the Egyptian situation. You used such well-used phrases as “ |. . we have a strong suspicion that Nasser is better at surprise attack than sustained, battle’ (a suspicion I am sure you heard someone’ else exclaim) and “ ... it looks as if Nasser will be this year’s coup-of-the-year-man.” (Time Magazine?) Here lies one of the most basic problems of today’s world. Few people are willing to put aside their preconceived notions and prejudices and make an effort to understand another country’s char- acter and necessities. Nasser is often seen in the U. S. as a “sec- ond Hitler” mainly because, taken out_of context and placed into an American frame of mind, the two men seem to resemble one another. But with a little thought and effort one can find no basis of comparison when one places the two men into their respective background and countries. The his- tory and culture of Germany up to the 19380’s is so far removed and different to those of Egypt that it is nearly impossible to find a common ground on which to base this so-called similarity. To the American mind, democracy is taken for granted as an essential part of life, and anything less is abhorrent and is a dictatorship. To the Arab mind, however, democ- racy has little or no meaning and importance. It does not count at all in the Arab’s system of values. Consequently, it does not appear fair when Americans speak of Nasser’s “dictatorship” as a point against him: They think too much in their own terms, and make little effort to understand the bewild- ered Egyptians who have recently been given a freedom which they have not had for centuries, and which they are not yet sure how to use most correctly and advan- Continued on Page 4, Col. 3 Latin Student Sends Glad Thanks to News Dear Editor: I_-wish to-thank “you very much for your Latin editorial.

Cooper -Foundation, was held last Sunday night at the Friends Meeting Héuse, Swarthmore College. The speaker, Gordon Allport, Professor of Psychology at Harvard Univer- sity, chose as his topic “Unique- ness and Uniformity, The Dilemma of the Educator and the Psycholo- gist”’, Dr. Allport began his lecture by making a distinction between edu- cation and higher education. His differentiation was between prim- ary.and secondary and college ed- ucation. After stating that the goal of higher education is the transmission of culture, Dr. All- . port said that the function of high- er education is to inspect and crit- icize, to improve and increase cul- ture. When it was discovered that people who went to college had more self-assurance and prestige than those who did not do so, more people went to college. Colleges then in some instances ceased to serve their higher purpose of in- tellectual development and began to teach more subjects of a “prac- tical” nature. In that case, higher education is the. placed in jeopardy. The aim of the college today is to foster self development, Dr, All- port continued. Their emphasis is no longer on culture, but on,the individual student. The striving should not be for mass education but for that of single individuals. In discussing methods of educa- tion Dr. Allport asserted the poor results of the practice of teaching by compulsion. The main disadvan- tage is that it closes the mind to new ideas. The only possible achievement is at best inert knowl- edge. The main needs of students in higher education, according. to Dr. Allport, are precision, disci- pline and efficiency. One of the most important aims of education is nourishing the “growing edge” all along the edu- cational career of the student. In answering his own proposed question regarding the méans by which the college may lead stu- dents into the creative elite, Dr. Allport went into the means of “sorting” out students. Since child- ren differ, however, and are more complex than adults in regard to intelligence, interests and -other factors, there are many unfavor- able consequences to _ classified “sorting.” Dr. Allport believes that education stops short of doing its job if the self of the individual is not brought into view. The unmotivated, the student who is sent to college, the gifted student and the authoritarian stu- dent are four classifications of stu- dents discussed by Dr. Allport in regard to the “sorting” plan. ‘Dr. Allport concluded his lecture by stating that no college should try to be all things to all appli- cants and that the goal should. be a general education and the ap- preciation of ideas. Basketball Last Wednesday, February 26th, Bryn Mawr met Chestnut Hill for two games on our home court. The varsity got off to an early lead and stayed ahead all the way for a victory of 85-25. Barbara Reid was the high-scorer with a total of sixteen points, Her foul shot percentage was remarkable as she scored. fourteen times out of fifteen attempts. It is a real plea- sure to record such an average as Bryn Mawr has often lost as many as fifteen or twenty points on foul shots missed. The junior varsity game ended in a 24-24 tie. Bryn Mawr had led all the way with Debbie Smith the high-scorer of eleven points. In the closing sec- onds of the game a Chestnut Hill forward proved the importance of making free shots good by putting in two foul shots to tie the game. - It was wa 1088 THE COCA-COLA COmPany, sad... when that great ship went down and the last thing to leave the sinking ship was 'a bottle of Coca-Cola.

The trip was planned so that the buses spent two nights and one day in each community, with a chairman (usually a member of Rotary, or a school teacher, but at the University of Virginia the head of the Foreign Relations De- partment) to plan the day’s acti- vities and final\ accommodations wtih families at every stop. The students saw monuments’ at Gettysburg, visited the Cumber- land Caverns, toured a steel mill in Birmingham (where they had a police escort with sirens), watched a donkey baseball game, held con- ferences, including ‘a discussion on segregation, and ended up in Washington, where Marty took the French students to the French em- bassy and met the President on the White House lawn. Apart from keeping track of their students, the chaperones help introduce the “American Field Service’s exchange program to new communities with speeches by the students or exhibitions of ther native dances; they also handle the trip’s budget. Although there is no salary, the chaperones’ expenses are fully paid. A chaperon must be twenty-one, have had some experience with people, and know about the Amer- ican Field Service program in general. In Marty’s case, the trip provided an excellent follow-up to her previous summer’s experience as a worker in a boys’ club in a London slum.

The results were encouraging: her only experience had been teaching sketching in a camp, but one agency was willing to hire her. Cathy feels that many agencies will take young people if they are artistic and willing to work for several summers; the field is open, and there is demand for new talent, willing to work up from appren- ticeship. Starting at the bottom of the ladder, Cathy worked a forty-hour week at a dollar an hour, earning about $470 in almost three months. Her first work was “drawing straight lines with a ruler”, keep- ing files, and other miscellaneous office jobs, but gradually she learn- ed to use the tools of the trade (inking pens, slide rules), was al- lowed to ink in letters and then work up ad lay-outs from a rough sketch. By the end of the summer she could occasionally produce the final art and retouch photographs. Though much of the work was ted- ious, Cathy found the variety of tasks interesting, and the atmos- phere most congenial. Money Via Sweaters For the sheer excitement of earning MONEY fast, Dede Shef- field ’58 beat everybody else by making $495 plus a sweater in four days. It all started when she visited a sweater showing at Aiken, S. C., and found that the maker wanted an agent to sell them in Fisher’s Island and South- ampton during the summer. Dede wrote, landed the job, and soon received trunks containing “two hundred sweaters (cashmeres hand decorated with antique lace, Victorian piano covers, and other oddments gathered all over the world). The sweaters were to sell at $150, of which Dede retained a $45 commission; all the details of advertising, finding a room, and exhibiting the merchandise were left up to her. As a result of poor publicity, she only sold thirteen sweaters, but intends to resume her job next summer with greater suc- cess.

Both wérked for thirteen weeks and earned between $700 and $800. (Margaret, who worked in a large, un-air-conditioned lab analyzing metal samples for the percentage of one element, found her eight hour day (with only a half hour for lunch) grueling, and considers that it would be grim no matter how much the student likes chem- istry. But there were two positive results of the summer: she decided definitely to teach rather than be- come a chemist, and she earned an above-average salary. Ginger, on the other hand, en- joyed testing Fizzies for their as- corbic acid and carbon dioxide content and considered the exper- ience valuable to a chem major. The main difference between her job and Margaret’s was that she worked in a small, friendly lab with ultra-modern equipment, had time to learn about the other lab workers’ experiments, and under- stood the whole process of produc- ing a Fizzie. e Alliance. by Gail Beckman Some girls talking to the Alli- ance candidates the other night commented that they had not heard enough about the confer- ences at other colleges.

H. Lowe of the Chinese Embassy. His topic, which after a ‘brief speech took the form of a discussion, was “Should Red China Be Admitted to the U.N.” Although Mr. Lowe began with the statement that he was not go- ing to answer the question, no doubt was left in the hearer’s mind that neither Mr. Lowe nor the ‘Chinese Embassy was in favor of the admittance of Red China to the U.N. The crux of Mr. Lowe’s argu- ment was based on the following three points: 1) The nationalist Chinese government is the only legitimate government the Chinese mainland has had since 1911.. He also refuted the claim that the Red Chinese represented 500 million people; 98% are not Communists and the remaining 1214 million be- came members because of coercion. 2) Mr. Lowe stated that the basic philosophy behind the Red regime is contrary to Chinese beliefs. The third point discussed by Mr, Lowe dealt with the possible economic motives the free-world nations might have for wishing the admittance of Red (China. He stat- ‘ed that it wouldn’t be possible to do business with Red China for profit on the United States terms because all foreign trade is con- trolled by.the state.

If a democ- racy similar to that of the U. S. were set up in Egypt today there would be chaos, Few people know how hard Nasser is trying to give the Egyptians a feeling of res- ponsibility and participation. From the point of view of the average Egyptian, the so-called Fascist dictator is nothing but a strong and well-defined leader, I do not wish to make this a political letter, so I will not go into Arabs’ long-desired quest for unity as opposed to your idea of the Syria-Egyptian merger being a “coup.” What I want to say is that if we students of the liberal arts colleges in the U. S. can make an effort to see beyond ourselves and be tolerent of foreign ideals, we would be taking a positive step towards future peace. Contrary to the tone and implication of your editorial, it seems to me that noth- ing is more important at this stage of world politics than for one country to understand the character, history’ and ideals of another.
