Northrop, professor and chairman of the Department of Economics, died Tuesday in the Bryn. Mawr Hospital. She had been hospitalized as a result of injuries ‘sustained in a fire at her home on November 12. She joined the Bryn Mawr faculty as a lecturer in economics and became a professor in 1949. Before coming to Bryn Mawr, she had been head of the Department of Economics and Sociology at Hood College, . taught Economics at Hunter College and wasaFellowof the Brooklings Institute in Washington. During the Second World: War, she was a financial advisor to several government agencies, in- “cluding the U, -S;~ Delegation to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Employment in Havana in 1947-48, She also acted as head of both the Economics and Social Economy.

In front of them, picketers, un- fortunately without many signs, circled slowly.

Every time the police pulled someone from the . lines at the school doors someone else would* move in to close the line. The demonstrators kept their arms linked together, making it difficult to separate them. Many ~were dragged away forcibly and a“ few had to be carried, but there was ‘nothing that-could-be-called violence on the part of either police or demonstrators. The police were arresting the picketers as well as the stand-ins. They later tried to justify this ac- tion by saying the picketers were in their way, which was no doubt true. At the’ police station we were sent into a cell block with the cell doors open, Each cell hada sink, a toilet, and a metal shelf for a bed, The whole place smelled of stale air and disinfectant. At One end of the corridor hung 4 picket sign that read ‘‘Now is the hour.’? Whenever a new group of prisoners arrived, everyone cheered, shook hands, and slapped each other on the back.

Civil Disobedience ra *. The arrest of four Bryn Mawr students in the -Chester school demonstration raises questions ‘regarding not only the relationship of the stu- dents’ action to the college’s ‘‘discredit clause,’’ but also the inherent legality of their behavior, The discredit clause states: The Executive Board reserves the right to act at any time it. feels thata student’s conduct is contrary to the spirit of the rules or brings discredit to the College, even though such conduct may not be specifically dealt with by the ... rules. Any action which brings unfavorable no- tice to a student and thus lowers the prestige of the College, which damages its reputation in the public’s eye, or which results in the demoralization of the Self-Government system, is consid- ered as discreditable to the College. It is: inconceivable that a student’s effort to alleviate the deplorable conditions at the Ches- ter—school, or to contribute to the nationwide struggle for civil rights would lower the prestige. of Bryn Mawr. A student might personally ob- ject to having a police record, which could follow her the rest of her life, But this must be an in- dividual decision. The arrest itself is not in- herently discreditable. Bryn Mawr’s association with the civil rights movement does.in no way ‘‘lower the prestige’’. of the college. Any of Bryn Mawr’s attempts to _instill_in students a-regard.and respect. for the. worth of man by its liberal educationis consist- ent with the aims-of the civil rights movement, It is because of the aims of this movement that the inherent conflict of legal issues can be resolved, It was, of course, illegal for. the students to block the door of the school, because of the public nature of the place and the result- ant fray. Nevertheless, all previous non-violent efforts to alleviate the school situation. had been ignored, The School Board chairman had denied receiving a letter from theprotestors regarding the condition of the school, When every peaceful ‘attempt: fails, the mildest, least objectionable display of force is ‘not unreasonable or un- warranted, None of the Chester residents were harmed in. the demonstration, nor were there any undue ‘disturbances of the peace, The conditions of the school were cextalaly sufficient grounds for. _ protest. i When the issues have been weighed; ‘the hae mand for human liberty assumes the greatest im gpg and civil disobedience is a reason- ab even necessary, action. - A Note to our Subscribers Because of the Thanksgiving holiday and a lack of funds, THE COLLEGE NEWS. will not publish again until December. 13, We regret the inconvenience, but because the examination weeks) - fully protected by copyright.

I shall attempt in the following letter to give a brief background to the Chester -Situation and to.answer these ques- tions.

At present all charges have been dismissed, the school board has agreed to the eventual _demoli- tion of the school, an immediate transfer of 168 students to other schools; abandonment of a boiler room as a classroom, and trans- formation _ of the coal-bin into. a shelter, It is alleged that being arrested is a violation of the self-gov.: rules, that it brings dis credit upon the college. ‘This implies that being arrested is in itself discreditable and is based on the assumption that law is an end in itself, I believe that law is a means to an end as are methods of nego- tiation such as meetings and let- ters, If desired ends -cannot be achieved within the law or by normally accepted methods of negotiation, then new methods must be adopted, — This is exactly what. was done in ‘Chester. ‘Rather than _bringing discredit upon the college I: sug- gest that the participation | was highly creditable, It is also felt that the students who. participated in the demonstra- tions did not fully understand the Situation and were not prepared for the events. In certain cases this is definitely true as the stu- dents themselves have indicated, _ It is hoped that the Civil Rights Club, having had this first exper- ience, will be prepared in the future to give proper preparation to stu-~ dents who. wish to participate, Miss McBride opened the 1963- 64 school year voicing thevhope that students would be direct par- tigipants in the struggle of the Negro to achieve full equality or, more generally, to achieve ‘‘free- . dom.’’ Chester, -Pa., marked the BE- GINNING of the fulfillment of this... hope. : Kathy “Boudin, ’65 More Pro To the Editor: In answer to complaints that the four Bryn Mawr students who were arrested in Chester last Thursday have brought discredit on the college, I think that these stu- dents have possibly brought great credit to the college. The col- leges of Swarthmore, Bryn Mawr . and Haverford are often regarded as highly intellectualized centers of learning, with very little con- nection to the real world outside the college community. The stu- dents arrested in Chester have Shown that they have an aware- ness of the outside world and of politics, a very necessary aware- ness,~ : : We must also draw the distinc- tion between being arrested for disturbances: having no long-range cohstructive purposes, such as . drunken driving, and being arrested for disturbances having long-range. constructive purposes,” Arrest for. the former. shows. an irresponsibility which could rea- “‘sonably be criticized by students -at Bryn Mawr, but arrest for the “latter shows that the arrested students are willing to uphold their beliefs in spite of opposition, which is in no way irresponsible, These students have also been accused of not considering the con- » sequences of their actions. I think that, on the contrary, they consid-. ered these and decided that what they were doing would help the that month. “in the planning stage, ‘it is hoped © Chester. obtain better conditions. can be co- oidinated with the’ In view of the.school board's deci- _ Alliance conference to facilitate sion to meet their demands, y thay coverage of the last few weeks (i,e, four page_ transportation andto broaden dis~- were right, instead of cet page isangs)s : : cussion resources. | eee Nora Chaemea 67 ars Pa rie SSS Con To the Editor: I-wonder if those girls who went to Chester last week to picket and unlawfully block the entrance to the elem _ sidered the consequences of their action. The Self-Gov constitution states that “any action which— j brings dent and thus~lowers the prestige ~- vorable notice to astu- of the college, which damages its reputation in the public’s eye... is considered as discreditable to the College,’” and the Exec Board reserves the right to act in these cases, There is no doubt in my mind that intentionally breaking the law and consequently being arrested and put in jail (hardly a “respec- table public accommodation’’) is a discreditable action. There are arguments on both sides of this . _mMatter - especially since it is con- cerned with the current civil rights . movement, The girls may. argue that this was an entirely individual action and does: not concern Bryn Mawr College as such, but they — cannot deny that it was announced as-an Alliance activity and that a , college station wagon was usedfor . transportation to Chester. In. my opinion any action taken by a Bryn Mawr student, especially when she is in residence at the College, must ‘be. considered a reflection on the entire College community, that some persons. feel that thene . was justification ‘for , What these girls did, I cannot personally feel’ proud of them nor feel that they have ‘favorably affected the pres- tige. or reputation of Bryn Mawr College. : Lois Mangusson Chamber Music To The Editor: 6 On Sunday, November 10, the Although I realize ‘.

There was debate on several items, resulting in a re- duction of budgets for NSA, and: College Inn improvement. Students first objected to the proposed budget of $921 for NSA on the grounds that the amount was disproportionate to other or- ganization budgets and to NSA’s role on campus. The ensuing item-by-item de- bate on the budget, however, re- vealed only five places where it was felt the budget could be cut, and a total reduction of $180 was finally voted. The cuts were ntade in the fol- lowing items: (1) -The’ conference allotment, which could enable NSA to send students (at half fare) to the Re- gional, East Coast, and ‘‘Unan- nounced’?

There was also debate on the increase of $360 for the Social Committee, but +a majority felt strongly that impetus for more and better social fdfictions is needed on campus, and the budget was sustained, In summary, Undergrad has, during the last three weeks, voted approval ‘on $7070 of the proposed $8,895 Common Treasury budget, with $725 for food for AA teams, Hockey Workshop, and for Maids and Porters Committed sepeceoe remaining in ict siahioieid ae FIESTA glassware 101] LANCASTER AVE.

The questioner sug- Bryn Mawr students questions gested°that such censorship shows _ ranging from dancing the twist to _Stalinism and press censorship. - Gennadiy Eliseyev, president of _the“Volgagrad branch of the Com=~ somol (the major Soviet youth or- ganization), began the discussion by emphasizing the need for under- standing and friendship between young people of different countries, Alexander Krivolapov, a mem- _ber ‘of the editorial board of the --Comsomol newspaper, spoke of “the role of the Comsomol in in- structing youth on moral or ethi- cal problems. When asked why. such instruction is necessary, he replied that community action makes problems easier to solve and that an individual should adjust his thoughts and values to the © majority. Russian newspapers, they stated, are as honest as those of any other country. — 5 It was asked why books by Trot- ony and others judged harmful to a lack.of faith in the Soviet people’s convictions about” tiie~communist~ system. The Russians replied that _they—saw no value in publishing ~ lies and wrong. ideas, Anyway, . they added, a shortage of paper makes it possible to publish ety what is most valuable. In answer to other questions they said that there is no “offi- cial’? barrier to emigration from the Soviet Union; that the ‘‘mis- takes”? of the Stalinist era were caused by Stalin himself, not by the social system; and that leaders of, modern movements in art and literature, such as Yevteshenko, have never been repressed, The two Comsomol representa- tives then asked a few questions, revealing an interest in and know- _ledge of the Negro movement and unemployment .problems in this country.
