Bertolt Brecht’s THE C AUCASIANCHALK , CIRCLE March 10 and 11 inGood- hart Hall. Faith Greenfield, Chris Kopff and James Emmons have leading roles. Brecht wrote the 48-character play in 1944. ‘‘It’s a quite extra- ordinary accomplishment —by Brecht in making statements about sentimental love which usually come out Lux Liquid,’? summar- ized Director Robert Butman. The play itself takes place ‘‘in olden times, in a bloody time” in a Caucasian city. Brecht opposes ‘justice and goodness -- as exem- plified by two of the principal characters in the play, Grusha and Simon -- to the evil and injustice in the world. Brecht professed communism, but the themes in CHALK CIRCLE are meaningful to all men. The title comes from the story in ‘‘Solomon’’ of the two mothers pleading for one baby. Justice prevails when the real mother reveals herself by refus- ing to allow the King to cut the baby in half. In Brecht’s play the Judge draws a chalk circle and tells the two women each to take an end of the child and _ pull. Butman explained the philoso- phy behind the set for the play. One of the biggest problems in producing a play at Bryn Mawr, “he said, is fighting the nionstros- « ity of Goodhart Hall. No set can be monolithic enough to live up to the Hall itself ‘‘unless they’re crucifying Joan of Arc in the mid- dle of the arch.’”’ Therefore, the production staff is combining lights with the set to help alleviate the distance between the play and the audience. The set includes six platforms and a 10-foot tower at one edge of the stage on which the Narrator will sit. Music will also be used to bring all the elements of the play together at“the last moment. John Davison, of the Haverford College Music Department, wrote music for a previous production of CHALK CIRCLE in Roberts Hall. He will play piano and drums. photo by Grethe Holby cergunt Edwards, David Whiting and Chris Kopff in “*Chalk Circle,*’ No Undergrad Speaker This Year, Exec Board Buys Mimeo Instead There will be no Undergrad speaker this year, that organiza- tion announced after its Monday night meeting. Margaret Edwards, dieieiien President of Undergrad, gave as reasons the following: (1) they were unable, to get any of the people suggested by the Commit- tee for ‘the Undergrad Speaker (2) members were generally un- enthusiastic about other sugges- tions made. She said that with the money usually alloted for the speaker Undergrad will purchase a new mimeograph machine, and whatever is left will go into the kitty for next year’s speaker. Questioned about the opinion of some students that the Undergrad speaker ought to be done away with entirely, Margaret said that noth- ing about it had been discussed at all in Undergrad meetings. Incoming “President Lola At- «J se See SH eins “Pe for the Undergrad speaker, for these reasons: I think there are three kinds of speakers -- those who’ll come for $25, those who come for $200, and the ones who cost about $1000. We can usually only have thé last kind for occa- sions like Baccalaureate and grad- uation, and organizations such as Alliance and Interfaith provide a lot of speakers who come for from $25 to $100. But the Undergrad ‘speaker? is about the only chance the college has to hear a $200 speaker, and I think it needs the chance. Now in years like this when we can’t find a speaker for $200 of the caliber we want, then I think we should not have one -- ‘which is what was done this time. But in the past we have had speak- ers such as Peter Verrick --.and he was really good -- and I think to do away with them would be absurd.’’ Lola said she would like to discuss this in future Under- grad meetings. : Gerace? ox. The. first round of campus elections is over and seven new presidents are preparing to take over their offices after spring vacation.

Drewdie now has the opportunity to make Self- Gov ‘‘provide catalysts for the creative use of freedom by individuals in their growth.”’ Lola, who understandably enough bs opposed "tothe *abélition of Undergrad, promises to keep future Undergrad meetings from being ‘“‘hateful.?? She plans to stress, ‘‘interesting, im- portant problems,’”? with an emphasis on the crucial role of the dorm reps as communications links, She trusts that with an updated calendar and ‘‘a list of everyone who is in charge of any- thing” she will be a mine of exact and necessary information Her statement: o by Kit Bakke New leaders are (left to right) Susan Nosco (Curriculum), Donna Cross (A.A.), Lola Atwood (Undergrad), Cheri Morin (League), Judy Masur (Arts Council), Doris Dewton (Alliance) and Drewdie Gilpin (Self-Gov), about campus activities, both at Bryn Mawr and neighboring ‘schools. From Donna Cross, we can look for enthusiastic sponsoring of a variety of new ‘‘fun’’ activi- ties--maybe even softball with the faculty children, or discovering an esteemed professor more fre- quently onthe other side of a volleyball net. Bryn Mawr may. be getting its own Thomas Hoving with Judy Masur running events at Arts Council. ‘‘Why not Happenings,?’’ ‘Faculty Show’ Is Coming! Proceeds To Help Library The fireworks of faculty show will be set off Thursday, March 16, at 8:30 in Goodhart, as the fa- culty celebrate their talents with singing, dancing, talking, andplain old joie de vivre, This year’s show, according to Miss Mabel Lang, consists of a variety of skits tied together very *‘loosely’’, Since there is no one theme, to label this original con- stellation of faculty stars, it was decided to assign the non-commital title of ‘‘Faculty Show”’ to the pro- duction, Although Miss Lang feels the show is too amorphous for di- recting, she is doing her best to hold it together and call rehear- sals every now and then, About half of the faculty, their wives, and any other non-student they could persuade to be dragged in are involved in the show, Stu- dents have been allowed to help with the technical aspects, how- ever, And Miss McBride will be there in spirit. A “terrifically hot combo’ of Bryn Mawr and Haverford faculty, a porter, and ‘‘God knows what else’ will keep the beat going through the evening, - “Sinceit is hard enough to band the faculty together for one _rehearsal, there will be only one performance, says Miss Lang. The money the show raises will eae ann go towards the new library. Tickets for students may be purchased from Betsy Gemmill in Taylor on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 10 and 11 a.m. They are $1,50, and can be charged to Payday. Faculty must see Miss Biba, Police Apprehend Villanova Boys Last Saturday night three Villa- nova freshmen were caught out- side Rhoads by the Lower Merion Township police, after having broken into several campus buildings. It began in Pembroke, when the lantern man was letting in some girls just after 12:30, The three boys, drunk, ran out of the build- ing. The lantern man called the police. Later, a watchman saw them passing things out of one of the science building windows. Then a faculty wife saw them lurking around the Low Buildings, and someone else reports seeing them on the Merion fire-escape. The police apprehended them outside, Rhoads, Mrs. Whelihan commented that the campus should know that this sort of thing does happen, and that door-watchers should be alert. she asks. ‘*Why not a Finger- painting Festival?’? Judy pleads __ for the Outward manifestation of all innér artistic urges. Both Doris Déwton and“ Cheri Morin would like to see increased cooperation between their organi-' zations. As Cheri said, ‘In this day when economic, political, and social welfare concerns are intricately bound together, I think that there are many areas of mutual interest to which League and Alliance could direct their combined resources.”’ Sue Nosco, who hopes to see a major expansion of Cur- riculum Committee activities under her presidency, made an apt statement which might apply to all the winners. ‘‘I guess since I have been elected I’ll have to figure out how to do all the — I said I’d do.’? Legislature Legislature will meet Tuesday, March 14 at 7:30 P.M. in the Common Room. It will deal with revisions | of the Constitution of the | Undergraduate Association. Discussion will center around the two major changes, Article IV, Section Vi, the Social Committee and Section Il F of the By Laws, the Required Vote; but the Constitution as a whole will be submitted to ' the Legislature for a vote.

It is a policy non-statement, because it explicitly calls itself a “request ... instead ... of a policy statement,” and was characterized by a member of Executive Board as being simply a ‘‘stop-gap measure’? until the new board takes over. However, we see it as very clearly a@ policy statement. It seems quite evident by the wording that any girl who signs out overnight to Haverford will be tried for violating the Honor Sys- tem, exactly as it was before the Haverford changes -- and this seems very much like a policy to us. This Self-Gov statement affirming the past in spite of present changes is justified by members of Exec Board in two ways. One, because they didn’t want to force an already formulated policy onto the new Board as a fait accompli; and two, because they see things at Haverford as being so chaotic and uncertain with respect to the interpretations of thé changes that they don’t want to interject anything which might ‘wreck it for them,’? In other words, they acted as they did out of consideration for the new Board and for Haverford College. We would like to put in a few words for the group apparently ignored (which is also the group most af- fected by the statement): Bryn Mawr students. We find neither of the two justifications in the above /paragraph strong enough to rationalize the creation of the statement without the student body’s knowledge or help, It seems that it was done in a manner just about as far from the idea of self-government as it is possible to get. We are not here suggesting what Bryn Mawr’s reply to the Haverford changes should be. We are merely suggesting that although Haverford Students’ ,, Council should certainly be told of Self-Gov activities (Council President Gene Ludwig has even proposed that a member of Haverford Council sit in on Self- Gov meetings and vice versa to improve communica- _ tions) ‘there was no need to tell them prior to telling . Bryn Mawr students (also according to Ludwig, the _ Situation over there is not so confused as Self-Gov - seems to think). And even more importantly, the - whole idea of Bryn Mawr students simply being - TOLD something by Self-Gov is contrary to its pur- - 908es as an organization. _ : There doesn’t seem to be any reason why a sys- em similar to the Haverford Plenary Sessions could 10t be set up here, Hopefully, this is what will be _Jone by the new Board when it is ready to make its 2 to the Haverford . Only in this Bi Peer a _ Letters to the Editor were flagrantly defying the govern- ment; rather they were making ‘personal decisions about the kind of people they ‘wanted to be and the amount of protection they felt they wanted from the government. We felt a government imposing more rules would be defeating its own purpose. Therefore, while trying to keep the constitution simple, we attempted to give the individual more personal respon- sibility to make her own decisions, yet retain a respect for the mem- bers of the college and commun- ity. The system does ask for trust in our fellow students, but that is asked in any working honor sys- tem, and certainly in any work- ing community. / The Constitutional Revision Committee has already served one of its purposes. Our “‘apathetic’’ campus is awakening and speaking out. It was forced to reevaluate the principles and philosophy of Faculty Support To the Editor: The Bryn Mawr Chapter of the Association of American Univer- sity Professors wishes to express its support for student activities, such as those undertaken by the -Educational Goals Committee last fall. Although there is a difference of opinion among chapter members about the individual proposals made at that time, we endorse the stu- dents’. concern with matters of cur- riculum and other educational goals. We feel that such openly ex- pressed concern reflects a sense of responsibility among the stu- dents, and affords an example of democratic procedure in education. The Executive Committee J.

If we have made some error in our judgment of student readiness for changes, I still do not think we should be condemned for pro- posing -them. Only in consider- ing change do some realize the validity of the status quo, and only in considering change do we give that change the possibility of becoming the new status quo. - As chairman of the Constitu- tional Revision Committee, I feel compelled to answer some of the letters in the NEWS and some comments heard around campus to the effect that the work of our committee was irresponsible and not representative of the student body. The committee was elected this fall by the dormitories, which should and did lead to a diverse ‘ere towne ot group. We have been meeting for 8 a few hours on a weekly basis for Dinner system a semester, during which time our constitution has been dissected and. put back together. Before we even considered changes, we examined the role of Self-Gov as our governing body, and the kind of constitution it should have. to make it most efficient and . powerful. Looking at the constitu- tion, we discovered that most of its rules required acts of common sense, not honor, nor responsibil- ity, (e.g. the after dark rules), As we. consider our community to be under a social honor system, we felt the basis of it must lie in personal responsibility of the in- dividual to the community. It is essential to the success of any government that the rules express the will of its members. Looking at our student body we could only see a trend of apathy towards the government and an unopposed disregard for many of its rules. However the students did not feel particularly that they To the Editor: With several commendable ex- ceptions, attendance at the Dinner System meetings during the recent elections was uncomfortably. low. This system which puts the can- touch. with each other and the is- sues at hand is one of the pri- vileges of a small college com- munity. It should be recognized as such - and furthermore, treated as such, Or, at the very least, it deserves a careful evaluation before it is modified or abolished. There has been no formal pro- posal concerning the Dinner Sys- tem, no inquiry into its usefulness nor. suggestion that it should be changed. But a time for such questioning is definitely at hand. As one who is about to leave the office of President of Under- grad, I would like to subniit an idea to be considered by the new ‘tregime”.

The conference began with a morning session on the issue of how the university reflects the problems, needs, and prejudices of society. A panel moderated ~ by Miss McPherson and consisting of Miss McBride, Mr. Phillip Lich- tenberg of the School of Social Work, Father McAnalty, President of Duquesne University, and Martin Kenner, a student at the New School of Social Research, ' Opened the discussion. 2 ‘The panel agreed that society has come to exert more and more influence on the university. Miss. McBride pointed out that colleges may have taken up programs such as training mentally retarded children. However, service de- mands. may divert the university from its real purpose, which is the education of its students, Mr. Lich- tenberg also emphasized the danger of overplaying the service role of the university to society. Diversity in a liberal arts college is necessary, and it must beware .of too much concentration on vo- cational training, or on polit- ical involvement. Martin Kenner stated that students are beginning to object to the pressure of a politically biased society. which does not con- sider Marxism an academic sub- ject. At the same time, students are seeking in their subjects’ a relevance to the political problems confronting them in society. They would like an economics course, for example, to probe the reasons why two-thirds of the world is _ impoverished when we live in such a technically able society. The afternoon panel, moderated by Mr. Wallace MacCaffrey, pro- essor of History at Haver- ford, and membered by Mrs. Marshall, Miss Rosemary Lauer, a former graduate student at St. John’s University and now at Bryn Mawr, Marvin Wachman, President of Lincoln University, and Kathy Murphey, a Bryn Mawr sophomore, picked up the morning’s discussion on the point of student pressure on the uni- versity. It was thought among the au- dience - as well as ‘among those on the. panel, that communication should be opened up between student, faculty, and administration. Channels for stu- dent influence on the decisions of the university should be widened. However, once a concern with student opinion is demonstrated, student initiative must be expressed, As Miss McPherson pointed out from the audience, Adlai Stevenson said once, ‘‘It’s much easier to fight for ideals than ‘to live by them.’? When Mrs. Michels suggested monthly meet- ings of the entire student body where all could give con- structive | criticism and ideas about the curriculum and other college issues, the audience broke into applause.

Freshman Weekend dates en- sconced last Friday evening in Roberts Hall were treated to such a display of audience energy as is rare at even a spectator- sport college like Haverford. Im- passioned Fords threw kisses, hisses, and a myriad of paper _airplanes_at. the several casts; whose job was to render scripts of varying value, the least valuable being the sophomores’ un- imaginative ‘‘Intermissions,’”’ an adaptation from Lewis Carroll with an unimpressive Alice. Sadly, no one was. quite mad enough-- not even quite so mad as most of the characters in the other three plays.
