Joseph S, Clark (D.-Pa.) will’ speak at 4 p.m. Monday in the Erdman living room under the auspices of Alliance. Clark, who is running for re- election this November, was re- cently endorsed by Sen, Eugene McCarthy, Clark opposes the war in Vietnam. In a speech made in January, 1966, Clark said, ‘‘I am unal- terably opposed to trading Am- erican coffins for Vietnamese real estate,’’ Clark first called for negoti- ations to end the war in Viet- nam in 1965, He has since met with members of the Senate For- eign Relations Committee, mem- bers of the Administration and UN leaders, and has made trips to Geneva and, Vietnam in an effort to bring the. war to-a halt, Clark’s appearance on the Bryn Mawr campus confirms rumors circulating this week that either he and/or Sen, Edmund Muskie would speak here, Barbara Elk, president of Al- liance, said that Muskie would def- initely not be speaking here in the immediate future. She said thatan advance man from Philadelphia had « called Melville Kennedy, associate professor of pdlitical science, and said that Muskie might speak at Bryn Mawr last Wednesday after speaking at Villanova, Barbara said that Muskie had apparently decided to cancel any - visits to colleges in the area on his trip this week to Pennsyl- : vania, Kennedy was primarily respon- sible for getting Clark to come to the campus, said Barbara, When Kennedy was working in Clark’s office this summer, the Senator asked if he-could come to Bryn Mawr to talk. Kennedy asked Alliance this fall if it would spon- sor the Senator’s visit, , Clark has also worked for the nuclear test ban treaty and the -huclear non-proliferation treaty. He founded and heads the Mem- bers of Congress for Peace Through Law, “Workcamp Tackles Slum Problem: Finds: Communication Breakdown The Social Order Committee of the American Friends Service Committee held its first ‘‘week- end workcamp”’ last weekend, This particular camp, placing special emphasis on the problems of youth gangs in the ghettos, is located at 39th and Fairmount streets in Mantua, West Philadelphia, in an area having certain unique prob- lems, Funds and creativity are being channeled into Mantua on both sides of 39th Street towards such groups as the much publicized ‘*Young Great Society,’ while this area remains a stagnant and neg- lected vacuum of hopelessness, Friday and Saturday night dis- cussions centered about this prob- lem, what was being done and the enormous amount of.problems that still need to be solved. Friday, James Beechem, a dynamic and charming ex ‘boxer who is now working for MCP, Mantua Com- munity Planning, led the discus- sion on the effects Black Power was having on youth and the com- munity as a whole, replacing the ‘everybody for himself?’ attitude of the past with one of black co- operation, Saturday was spent on specific work, projects, the object of which was to work with, not for, com- munity members and in the pro- cess establish a certain amount of white-black communication. In ‘none of the cases, however, was the idea] reached as discussions . with two ex-gang members em- phasized that evening, A bitter, and frustrated young father pointed out that painting over crumbling walls and wall- paper doesn’t help anyone. Ac- cording to him it just makes slum dwellers lazier while fostering a phony sense of self-righteous- ness amongst the people whocame in, that through their small con- tribution they have opened the '. way to understanding and com- munication, The two young Blacks gradually meipped the work campers of all ® naive illusions about how simply =the problems could be solved, They countered the campers at every attempt made todefend their position and the sincerity of their liberalism, . All efforts at com - munication seemed impossible, the Blacks were too bitter, the work campers too naive or unable to get across their real desire to understand and learn.

Visitors are welcome; although they may not vote, they may ad- dress the meeting after the voting representatives have finished speaking on a givenpoint, Visitors should notify the chairman of Legislature (Judy Liskin, Pem East) of their intentions to attend before Wednesday, The issues to be discussed are the drinking and dress rules ofthe Self-Gov constitution, Bothissues were brought up last spring by student petitions.® The dress petition asks students to consider eliminating the rule that requires the wearing of skirts to classes, The change in the drinking rule as originally proposed asks the student body to consider twoalter- native ways to allow drinking on campus by those of legal age; in the halls, or in a designated room, probably in the College Inn. The exact agenda for Legislature will be posted sometime this week- end, The representatives willalso receive copies of the proposed amendments -and_ excerpts of Robert’s ‘‘Rules of Order.’’ phete courtesy Public Information At Bryn Mawr, ‘icin is for buses, not for students. On the first day of the new bus service between BMC and Haverford, a christening ceremony, highlighted by Undergrad’s presentation of a bus-driver's hat and an air horn to Harry, was held in front of Pem Arch for the 48-passenger, bitve-and-white vehicle.

Students to Tutor Main Line Kids In Arts Project Eighty neighborhood children will be tutored by 30 Bryn Mawr and Haverford students in SAC’s Creative Arts Project this year. The project, which is scheduled to begin on Oct. 19, was begun last year as a private project. Due to its success it has been expanded this year. Classes will meet Sat- urday mornings at Haverford. “The project will attempt to free their creativity and in-: crease their ability to express themselves,”” SAC chairman Mindy - Thompson stated. There are four parts.to the pro- gram: art, dance, drama and music. In addition to these classes, SAC hopes to- be able to teach the children to-make a film. The four committee chairmen at Bryn Mawr are: art, Robin Brandin; dance, Patche Poindex-- ter; drama, Mindy Thompson; music, Eve Brunswick, Anyone interested in working on the pro- ject should contact one of the four chairmen. ° r yy nae ‘ ‘ 4 a THE COLLEGE NEWS Friday, October 11, 1968 Bryn Mawr, Haverford Students Page Two : THE COLLEGE NEWS Editor-in-Chief Nancy Mir 6 _ Discuss Campus Apathy Causes Managing Editor Robin Brantley ‘69 ‘The existence of Bryn Mawr stu- ‘depression, the student stated, and dot a stud orebiens; “thus Associate Editors dent apathy was considered depression inducesgirlstobecome leaving apathy unaffected.

This Viewpoint Perhaps you have seen the posters on campus the last few days. Or maybe you’ve been struck by ‘the bright orange “Boycott Grapes’’ buttons that have been cropping up everywhere. Maybe you’ve even attended a lecture on grapes at Hav-- erford. What’s all the fuss? The fervor is ‘‘La Causa’’ of the 5,000,000 Mexican-Americans living in the southwestern area of these United States. What is ‘‘La Catisa’’? Most immediately ‘‘La Causa’”’ is the grape strike being waged in California and throughout the nation by Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers of America. Their action is being: .- taken against the California Grape Growers. The thrust of their activity is centered in Delano, Calif. , the heart of the grape country. The strike is based .on the economic needs of the farm workers to organize their labor to avoid exploitation by growers.’ The majority of workers are not schooled in the ways of labor, and if they are forced to remain unorganized, they face the natural abuse of grower-labor needs. do not want the paternalism of the rancher; we do not want the contractor; we do not want charity at the price of our dignity. We want to be equal with all the working men in the nation; we want a just wage, better working conditions, a decent future for our children. To those who _ oppose us, be they ranchers, police, politicians, ~ or speculators, we say that we are going to con- tinue fighting until we die, or we win.”? ‘‘La Causa” is very real to the workers of Delano. For more than three years now they have waged their campaign. They have marched; they have been hungry; they have been attacked by the police; they have been subjected toviolence. Their opponents have even crossed them up legally with staff upon staff of full-time lawyers. Grape production is a multi-million dollar industry. The ‘workers are poor. They must rely upon the sup- port of their amigos. They relied upon Robert Kennedy. They rely upon the personal courage * Bryn Mawr. ‘Acme and A&P and Penn Fruit. and students about these ques- tions; it is essentially unquestion- this. ing. Discussion Not Enough? As a perception which brought the discussion of apathy down to earth, one student insisted that discussion was not enough to dis- pel apathy or to divert old ways of thinking. She illustrated with the example of Columbia, where, in confronting concrete issues, and with their own experience, students became sharply aware of the nature of their university, of their con- nection with the people of Harlem, and of ‘their ‘‘commonness’”’ with other students.

Mrs. Marcella Congdon, for- mer head of the placement bureau at Connecticut College for Women, has replaced Mrs, Louise Cren- shaw as director of the Bureau, Miss Lila Gault,-a °68 graduate of Connecticut College, is the new assistant director. "Mrs, Congdon left Connecticut College because her husband works in the Philadelphia area. Through a friend at Smith, she learned of the Bryn Mawr position which she now occupies, Most of her time, Mrs, Congdon has discovered, is used in place- -ment of seniors and graduate stu- dents, and in employnient-of non- ‘academic college personnel, She also counsels and encourages BMC alumnae who, after several years of marriage, wish to return to the working world.

McCarthy Sweeps Choice ’68 Survey Although little more than cur- iosities now, the following are the results of Choice ‘68, Time maga- zine’s collegiate referendtim on presidential’ preference and vital issues, administered last April 24, Unfortunately, Alliance received these results too late to be publish- ed in the final issue of last se- mester’s COLLEGE NEWS. On a national basis, Eugene Mc- Carthy won Choice ‘68 with 285,988 (28.07%) first-place votes. The late ‘Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was second with 213,832 (20.99%) and Richard M. ‘Nixon third with 197,167 (19.35%) first-place tallies. There- were 31,775 write-ins, of which Vice President Hubert Humphrey .Teceived 18,535, or about 2% ofthe total vote. The high scorers nation- ally for second and third places were McCarthy, Robert Kennedy, Nelson Rockefeller; and Rocke- feller, McCarthy and Kennedy, re- spectively. Here at Bryn Mawr, McCarthy won Choice ‘68 with 296 votes (66.22%). Rockefeller, with 66 votes (14.77%), and Robert Kennedy. with 40 votes (8.95%), scored closest ‘in the first-place tallies. Second-place went to Ken- nedy, Rockefeller. and McCarthy, respectively, while Lindsay, Rockefeller and Kennedy ranked highest for third-place. On the referenda questions, 18% of the national sample voted for immediate withdrawal and 45% for phased reduction of military effort in Vietnam; hence, roughly 62% favored some sort of reduction. About 7% favored. the current policy, 9% chose ‘to, increase it, and 21% wanted on ‘‘all out’ mili- tary effort.. — Bryn Mawr’s responses to the referenda questions followed simi- lar general patterns. Regarding military action in Vietnam, 52.11% (235 students) favored a reduction in effort and 42.13% (190 students) advocated complete withdrawal, meaning that 94.24% of Bryn Mawr students who voted sought a de- escalation ‘of the war effort. The remaining votes were distributed as follows: ‘‘all out’? effort -- 11 votes (2.44%), maintain current levels -- 9 votes (2%), and increase present levels -- 6 votes (1.33%), Anyone wishing to examine the complete national and Bryn Mawr tallies for Choice ‘68, as well as the regional, age, and party af- filliation analyses, will find them “posted in the Alliance Room (se- cond floor, College Inn, opposite the Undergrad Room), project.

She then calls the parent to confirm the baby-sit and make transportation arrangements,: There is no longer a required sign-up list of sitters, The only current restriction is a limitation of weeknight jobs, Miss Gault plans to spend her newly-created free time contacting employers about part-time and summer jobs. Several weeks ago, she descended on the Ville, asking ‘businessmen if they would like to ‘hire Bryn Mawr students, discovered few had realized that the students were interested, and she returned with many new part- time opportunities, Standardization of the wage scale for campus jobs and up-dating the ‘Bureau’s library are Miss Gault’s other projects, Lining one wall of her office are clipboards con- taining information on careers, In addition to the up-dated li- brary of the Bureau, the weekly newsletter also makes jobinform- ation available to students, The newsletter has been expanded, and Mrs. Congdon is considering send- ing it to all students if there is a demand for this service, To aid placement counseling, the Bureau of- Recommendations wants to sponsor. talks by alumane on their careers, Mrs, Congdon also hopes to increase the number of employer representatives visit- ing the campus and talking to un- dergraduates,' This projéct also depends upon student response, Speaking enthusiastically “of to». day’s students, Mrs, Congdon feels that they are much more intensely involved in the world than were students of her generation, and finds ‘them expressing their con- cern to her in the frequent query, ‘What can I do to help?’’ Although Mrs. Congdon speaks of Bryn Mawr students as ‘lovely, capable, interested i young women, " she adds that they*just don’t know anything about jobs.” Therefore, she believes’ that the fundamental responsibility of the Bureau is in counseling the student to know what career would be most satisfying to her, and min- imizing the identity crises caused by the shift from the academic community to business, Being in contact with and serving as a liaison between these two worlds is what Mrs, Congdon finds most exciting about her own career, Grapes...

Human- ists and social scientists, as well as natural scientists, will use the ‘new facility. When the new center is in full operation and. the computing de- mands of the three. colleges are determined, officials will invite other local schools -- colleges and secondary schools -- to share the computing facilities, » This will mark the first time in the United States that a group of small. colleges has joined to form a computing center which will then be shared with secondary and’ other schools. The project is supported by-the Federal government with grants totaling $499, 800 made through the Natiowal Science Foundation. Some of these federal funds “ will help cover operating costs over the first three years. Computer Pioneer Creation of the center also was supported by a gift from the late T. Kite Sharpless, a Haverford alumnus who was a pioneer in computer technology, and by other funds from all three colleges. The main, jointly owned com- puting equipment is located at Haverford, and the center’s full- time director is headquartered there. Smaller computers at Haverford, Bryn Mawr and Swarth- more handle simple local tasks, while referring more ambitious computing projects to the main equipment. Initially, the colleges will staff the center with up to 10 persons, The director of the new computer facility is George A, Michael, formeriy associated with the Law- five million chicanos are, ‘‘Viva rence Radiation Laboratory Hl the la Causa!?’ , University of California at Liver- Gwen Field more.

Stu- dents will use the new computing center to speed and broaden this work, In addition, many faculty members on the three campuses will be aided by the new center. Use of the facility will not be limited to the natural sciences such as astronomy, biology, chem- istry, engineering and physics. Social scientists, such as sociolo- gists, psychologists, economists and political scientists, are already major users of the exist- ing smaller and slower facilities at the three colleges. They are expected to use the new center heavily. Bryn Mawr and Haverford have operated a joint computing facility for seven years, “and Swarthmore has had its own for four years, - although neither unit was nearly as large or as fast as equipment in the new joint center.

In Revealing Drug Drama Sometime between now and Oct. 20, you owe it to yourself to go see ‘‘The Concept’’ at the Theater of the Living Arts in Philadelphia, This sounds like an advertisement but it is a sincere statement be- cause the play provides a unique and fascinating experience for its audience, The very structure of the play is unique. Its cast consists of amateur actors, all former drug Its script is their tes- timonial to Daytop, the community in which they made the transition to ex-addict. Instead of giving individual profiles, the program. tells that: ‘Together the three casts (they. rotate. weekly) have experienced 176 years of heroin addiction. They have spent a total of 41 years in jails and similar institutions. -As a group, they _have completed 32 drug-free years “at Daytop: ‘The average age Of our cast is 25.” This is all you really need to know of them from “the first, “since in the course of. the evening you get to know the people behind the characters better than any playbill could des- cribe them. There is ‘a written script, but it is drawn directly from impro- visations and retains an informal, spontaneous air. The bare plot follows a young addict from his downfall in society through his rehabilitation at Daytop. But the cast isn’t on the stage to enter- tain you. The performers are there ‘ to relate to-you their experience. ‘It is one from which not only a drug addict can profit. The emphasis is not on drugs. In fact, some, who have become biasé abollfAll of the recent por= Brass Quintet Opens BMC Music Series The New York Brass Quintet will open the 1968-69 series spon- ' sored by the Friends of Music of Bryn Mawr College on Wednesday, ' Oct. 30, at 8:30 p.m. in Goodhart Hall. The group, which combines two trumpets, a trombone, French horn and tuba, will feature brass music \ from the Renaissance through Con - mporary. periods. Since it was ormed 10 years ago, the quintet has taken its unique sound around the world, In a 1967 spring tour arranged by the State Department, the quintet performed in 20 cities and at four music festivals in Europe. The members of the group are Robert Nagel and Allen Dean, trum- pets, Thompson Hanks, tuba, Paul Ingraham, French horn, and John Swallow, trombone. This year, in addition to the regular Friends of Music programs there will be two small concerts at the college on Sunday after- noons. The first, on November 24, -will feature Medieval Renaissance and Baroque music for voices,, recorders, viols and harpsichord;' presented by the Collegium Musicum of Brooklyn College, under the direction of Jean Hakes, formerly a soloist with the New York Pro Musica. The second concert on February 2 will be a program of contempor- ary French sonatas for violin and piano to be given by the French trayals of drug addicts, might criticize the pantomimed reactions of the drug user in the beginning of ‘‘The Concept.’’ . But the real message of the play lies in ac- tions after drug use has been forsaken. The goal at Daytop seems to be a group effort (of only former addicts) toward a personal recon- ciliation of each individual with his society. This is achieved through constant interaction ‘be- tween members of the community (in this case the actors in ‘The Concept’’) and also a type of emo- tional bull session called an ‘‘Encounter.’? which would benefit anyone who is feeling hung up with the world around him, The title “The Concept’’ is an amazingly apt one. What. is presented at the Theater of the Living Arts is a new concept in. living “by m¥ans ° 6f ‘a ‘new concept in theater. The theater is being used by these people to plead their cause, to break down the communi- cation barriers, which initially drove them to drug use. But the cause isn’t pleaded in an.elabor ate allegory aS many “angry young playwrights’? have done; it is straight-forward, unpretentious in its lack .of professionalism and very moving. The experience of ‘‘The Con- cept?’ won’t appeal to your intel- lect; in places-it may insult it; but at the end of two hours, cli- maxed by what amounts to an actual test of your attitudes, your inhibitions and prejudices, you will come out a little more enlightened about yourself and a little more hopeful about the mixed-up world we live in.

Cet ieegapesa* Quaker City Rock F estival 1968 Calls All With-It Teeny Boppers There I was, all excited about meeting. the Moby Grape at the press conference for the Quaker City Rock Festival. {I never had the opportunity to be a teeny- bopper when I was in high school, but last December, after seeing the MG perform in Philadelphia, teeny bopperism hit me full force. Any mention’ of the group, or anything pertaining to it, would trigger ecstatic sighs, if you were fortunate. If youwere unfortunate, it would trigger a dissertation on the various aspects of Bob Mosley, the gyoup’s extremely attractive bass/fplayer. , Looking Cool When I arose Saturday morning, I considered carefully what I should wear. Since this was a press conference, [decided that pants were too informal, but I wanted to make a good impression. I wanted to look cool; but not aggres- sively so.- What Iended up wearing was just what happened to be both respectable and clean simul- taneously. Having passed « the stages ‘of preparation and transportation, I was surprised and dismayed to discover that most of the people at the conference were repre- senting high school publications. They were either pitifully awkward or obnoxiously hip, and both sorts frightened me, particularly the latter. The first order of business was the distribution of ‘‘press kits,’’ which included photos of the per- formers, some xeroxed notes on the festival and a- lengthy biography of one of the groups, Each -kit was different, so that the time spent waiting for the speakers was used in the trading of photos. I traded Ramsey Lewis for the Moby Grape, and Dionne Warwick for Buddy Guy. Finally, one of the proprietors . of the Electric Factory appeared to give us the details of the Rock. Festival. The concert is to be held at the Spectrum on: Oct... 19. It will begin at-7 p.m. and con- ~ tinue for approximately five hours, because each one of the five groups playing will have a * complete 40- 45 minute set. There will be two intermissions in which your ears may relax. The stars are the Vanilla Fudge, a ‘‘dramatic acid-rock’’ sound; Big Brother ‘and the Holding .Company with representing the - Janis « Joplin, ‘chard rock’? sound; the Chambers Brothers, representing the mix- ture of rock, soul and blues; Buddy Guy, a really fine traditional blues guitarist; and the Moby Grape, whose “sound is a fusion of: all the above. It looks to be the best rock concert ever held in- doors and certainly the best rock concert ever held in Philadelphia. Tickets are $4, $5, and $6 and are available by mail order from the Electric Factory, located at 22nd and ArchSt. (They are also available at various other spots which I shall not list here, but call me or the Factory if you think you’ll be in Philly and will have a chance to pick them up personally.) ‘DJ Endorsement After we were given the details, the disc jockey Herman wasintro- duced. I had never heard of him, but then I am not at all familiar with Philadelphia “radio, besides which, he works for an FM Station, and my cheap radio only gets AM when it works at all. . He told us how =GROOOOVY the concert is going to be. Only Jerry Miller, the. lead guitar of the Grape, showed up to answer questions. Most of the questions asked were assinine, ‘e.g, What inspired you to become a.rock and roll musician? Every once and a while, I asked a ques- tion about the Grape or about some other groups, but while I couldn’t, I spent my time drawing a very. intricate dragon, which I chris- tened Aloysius after asking the guy in “welt of me how to spell it. I had never drawn adragon before, but Iam tremendously fond of them, and was quite pleased with my results. I also drew a huge paisle, (which is the singular of paisly in my. mind). and lots of ** flowers. Sporadically, when some- thing of actual interest was said, I wrote it in the margin, Doors-Stop - All that might be of general -interest was the fact that Jerry Miller thought that the Doors were a giant hype--in other words--a put-on. This made mevery happy, since I do not particularly. like the Doors. the Grape had moved up into the mountains, and later explained that one is more rélaxed there, and thus.can make better music, Back to nature and all that. Most of the rest of what he saig was in answer to inane questions, and therefore had little chance of being’ of any. interest. These answers simply gave me time to improve on Aloysius. He’s quite fine now. And then it was all over. Jerry Miller smiled and said good bye, and I sighed sadly as I left, for I hadn’t met Bob Mosley. Some- how, however, it didn’t matter so much anymere, because I found out .that almost every girl, has a crush on him. That decreased his charm a. bit. But I still like him, and I am still an enthu- siastic Grape fan, and I definitely. am going to the Quaker City Rock Festival, if I have to crawl.
