Klempay To Enter GLAMOUR Contest

Suzanne ‘Klempay,..a diminutive
psychology major * from

“Youngstown, Ohio, has been’ se- -

lected as Bryn. Mawr’s entry in
Glamour’s “Ten Best Dressed Col-
lege Girls in’ America” contest.
She was chosen from among five

fashionable Bryn Mawrters com-

peting for the distinction.
If she is chosen one of the Ten

Best Dressed, she. will.be featured

in the August 1963 issue of
Glamour. The‘ magazine will make

.a decision on the strength of the
three photographs

which each
contestant must submit (one in a
campus outfit, one “in an off-cam-
pus outfit, and one in a_ party
dress). Frances. Hargraves; grad-
uate student at Bryn Mawr and
professional photographer, will
photograph Suzanne.

If she is a winner she will also
receive an all-expense-paid visit to
New: York in June, where she will
stay at the Biltmore, take part in
a fashion show, visit theaters,
cultural centers, luncheons, and
receptions as the guest of

“Glamour’s editors.’ Ls

Suzanne is as slim as a fashidh
model, and though her. type is
tailored it is not always conserva-

one day will see her in a simple
straight-line suit with her versa-.
tile hair done up in a- French
twist. The next she will appear in
a burlap dress or exotic print
blouse with her sail to her shoul-
ders.

Among others ae have been
captivated by Suzanne’s charms
are the pigeons on the third floor
of Dalton, her constant companions
(through necessity, .not.choice)...It.

chemistry professor, Mrs. Arthur
P. Dudden, wife of Bryn Mawr
history professor, and Mrs: B.

Ashmole Disputes —

kack of Inner Life
In Art of Greeks

Bernard. Ashmole, Professor Eme-
ritus of Classical Archeology..at Ox-
ford University, gave last night an
emphatically -negative answer to
the question, “Is classical. Greek

- sculpture empty of feeling?”

Admitting at the outset that

classical scaipture- was “toa “certain® ~
* degree

“obsessed ~ with numerical
analysis,” Professor Ashmole went
on,to demonstrate that the point of

view which treats the art of the,”
‘tlassical. period. as devoid of “inner ~

life” ignores not only the concern
with emotional content evident at

the.beginning of the period, but no-_

ticeable features of the Parthenon
itself: on

Other details of the Olympia
sculptures show the Greeks’ “dawn-
ing awareness of what canbe ex-
pressed in sculpture’—the slim and
unmuscled arms of an adolescent
Lapith girl, the impending tragedy
of Pelops’ chariot race conveyed
through the anguish on the face of
the onlooking seer.

In the netopes from the temple,

portraying the Labors of. Hercules,
‘can be seen not only carefully drawn

character studies of the hero and
his’ protecting deity, Athena, but

explicit indications of his’ mood in

each scene.
The emotional ‘content of the Par-

thenon sculpture is a complex ques-,

tion. The similarity and generaliza-
—tion~-of-the—faces- or the Athenian
and foreign youths; on the frieze
wuold.seem to argue for the domi-

nance ofthe classical calm, but on:
the same frieze two old men show :

clearly differentiated and waspish
characters.

Although noting a trace. of “af-
fectionate irony” in the treatment
of the gods on the Parthenon, Pro-
fessor Ashmole admitted that. they
displayed aspects of. a “pageant”—
that Aphrodite and Eros could’al-

_most_be.posing for an “official por-

trait.” He contrasted this scene
with one from a cast of a contem-

porary helmet cheekpiece’ showing
the: same scene in highly emotional ©

terms, observing that even if it was
not always to be found on the Par-
thenon, the Pheidian school was

~ certainly capable of expressing meo-

tion:

Two Bryn Mawr students and
the sister of a third were involved

New Erdman Hall
Excavation Begins

In April Hopefully.

At last the time has come. East
House has been evacuated, and in
early April, excavation will begin
for Bryn \Mawr’s new dormitory.

Miss McBrj said on Monday
that’ “the al’ specifications for
the dormitory are out for bids.” If
everything follows ‘the present
schedule, the Eleanor Donnelly
as a »Hall. will be completed
in of 1964, :

This will allow time in the late
‘summer to furnish the hall ahd
have it’ completely ready when. the
College~-reopens

Erdman Hall will have many
innovations. Part of its’ roof has

~~been=planned~as~ a~sunrotf “Witin- 2
‘surrounding -parapet. A suite in-

cluding a tea pantry and a sitting
room has been planned for non-
resident students. °
The bathrooms will each have a
drip*dry area with a floor drain.
President McBride raised-an in-
teresting question in discussion of
the. hall. She wonders whether

the students. will tend. to.group.ac-

cording to square or. to floor (the
building is conceived in the form

of -three connecting squares~and-* ,

will have three floors). The squares
are of course connected by corri-
dors, but the student rooms of
one square will be separated from
those of the nékt by a tea pantry
and a sitting room.

In The Midst Of Newspaper Crisis, Three Top Editors _

tive iconoclasm.

through with
sparks of optimism.

The most obvious responsibility
of the press, Mr. Oakes pointed
out first, is to get itself published.
There is a reciprocal responsibil-

inexpected

ity between the newspaper and
the public. Regarding freedom ‘of

the press, he pointed out; a gov-
ernment cannot be free unless the
people. are intelligibly informed.
Therefore, the ‘press’ must
‘takes its responsibility seriously.

Mr. Dakes tried to analyze the’

greatest threats .to today’s press.
He felt that the worst enemy of

the press is its own indifference,
‘its smugness. The tendency .of the

press’ is “‘towards- conformity—“an

institutionalization of the Good,
- the ‘True and. the Beautiful.”
“Why is this: situation so?* Be- ~
_eausey he thinks,.theintreasing +
costs of~:newspaper publication,

competition from other sources,
and the public’s demand for “en-
tertainment” rather than- enlight-

enment, are all factors which lead '

to the dissemination. of progress-

ively less provocative news.

<1 on.

‘Mr. Oakes feels: that
that a néwspaper can best exer-

“really ‘nothing more:

Because of the industrialisation
of newspapers, there is a concen-
tration of press power in a few
hands. However, in, spite of the
“fantastic negotiations” that often

_take place, some newspapers are-

still able to present and interpret
news thoughtfully and cogently.

Therefore, the news must. not be
a superficial recounting of facts;
rather, there’ must be a broader
scope and greater understanding,
especially on the editorial page.
it is here

cise its responsibility-—to force its

readers to think and to question.
If the editérial writers are re-"

sponsive to new currents of thought,
“even unfashionable and unpopu-

lar ones—they can avoid the “en-_
crustation and rigidity”’ of such’ —

assumptions as: there can be no
such | thing as a “labor reaction-.

which has become the “in ‘in’ ac-

students, were thrown through the
windows and onto the street, des-

Police repérted that the driver
of the bus apparently stepped out

accident and then collapsed and
died of a heart attack; the one

There were no witnesses to the
accident, but the police indicate

the driver of the Buick may have

In Charities. Drive
To the Editor: *

Last year the procedure for run-
ning the Campus Fund Drive was
completely revised. Maximum. stu-
dent. participation

in selecting

charities which would receive do-
penne - “ - Reet 1 oo vy oon ~
“nations” was~stressed. In response
“to @omplaints about former cam-

paigns, no specific contribution
was suggested or demanded. We

firmly believe in the value of this

type of campaign and—are-con-
tinuing the policy this year.

It is unfortunate, however, that
the revised procedure cut total
contriputions.-in half. Last. year
less:than a quarter of the student
body made any contributions at

all. :
It .is-almost-unnecessary..to state...

“Last Friday night’s automobile accident has been deeply.” the woithiness- of ~these-organiza~

upsetting to everyone on campus.
any one of us, and we are torcunate at least that tnis js the
first time in bryn Mawr’s history that such ‘an accident has
_happened..Almost.as-upsetting as the accident. is the diStor-
tion of tacts that has taken piace. Kumor has already distort-
ed those tacts which were known as early »as Saturday, and
an is even more incredible 1s that new, ones seem to-pop up
daily ;

~ Who was responsible for the accident, whether the driv-"
ers had been drinking’or speeding—tnese are things wnich we
cannot be certain ot tor some time to come, it 18 tempting to

pens ‘to be floating around the college, but there 1s no excuse
tor embroidering on what may alreaay be spurious, Much less -
tor passing on rumors.“ oe

I'he aistortion of fact which rumors bring about serves
only to add to the tragedy of an accident such as Barbara
Loeb:and Susannah Sara were in; 1t can conceivably do a great
deal of harm to tne people involved.

We can’t heip but be concerned about the-accident which
happened on kriday, we can’t help talking about 1t, but we

can keep the facts straight.

As the New York newspaper strike enters its twelfth
week with little hope tor a-settiement, we teel 1t-appropriate

Haverford College
Plans to Expand
Within A Decade.

The Haverford College Board of
Managers has approved a. plan to*

_ «:---Satustactory-end. However, we-cahnot agree. with Mr. Philip , expand. the. student body of 415. to

‘Wagner, editor of the Baltimore Sun, that iabor unions consti-
tute an evil that must be squashed.

lt is true that many unions have grown powerful beyond
reasonable limits, and that some of these are corrupt. it is
also true that, in some sense, the current New York situation
is a curtailment of the freedom of the press. But. the question
we must ask is, can-we afford to restore this freedom at. the
expense of the equally basic freedoms that labor unions pro-'
tect ? inc *
~~" Whatever the faults of some unions may be, a country
without them is unthinkable. And whatever the complex is-
sues involved in the New York and Cleveland. newspaper

_ strikes are, it is no answer to suggest that the unions’ demands

be ignored entirely and the unions themselves put ‘down. As
precious aS the freedom of the press is, we cannot gain one
freedom. and lose another, which is what would occur if the
unions were deprived of ‘their power. A labor-management
dispute is always a two-way street. = .

‘Winter. provides a variety of sports in which Bryn Mawr.
studerits-may take part. Sledding behind Rhoads is. popular.
Some of us took advantage of the Intercession holiday to make
a quick trip to Vermont for skiing. At least one of us is. an
active ice skater. : =

One winter sport with which. we are all familiar and in
which we all have an opportunity to participate is stiding.
This activity is best defined as. motion which makes an exhil-_
arating (?) transition from the voluntary to the involuntary |
realm. Sg Pes

Sliding - not. only provides exercise, but adventure and
peril as well. Can we make it to Park across the snow slopes:
in time for a nine o’clock class? Or, how many three-point
landings can we have on the way back from Taylor? Or, can
we get through a two-foot snow drift in stockings and high
heels? ae : .

“Two assets to sliding are that. it can be spontaneous .and
_that it: doesn’t require.any special equipment. Any time of
night or day is suitable; you. can do it in slacks, gym tunic,
or cocktail dress. The only-necessary ingredients are a little
snow and a little ice EIS ame

There do seem to be certain areas on campus where the
sliding is best: thé road which runs past Taylor, ‘the path-to-
Park, and the steps on“the path to Radnor, to name a few.
‘While: sliding- seems -to be individual like golf,’ rather than

competitive like tennis, it is a spectator sport, and it seems

‘to us that the areas on campus at whicli sliding is now con-*”
_eentrated do not provide optimal conditions for spectating.
We would like to recommend therefore that sliding activi-

at a place such as Senior row, and
iding be sanded so that sliders will

iod. President Hugh Borton an-
nounced this decision. to the college
February 5. a

Haverford will ‘realize the first

“step in its ten-year plan with thé

completion’ of a two. and a half. mil-
lion dollar math, chemistry, and
physics building next September.
A second, projected, building is a
128-man dorm to the south of Leeds.
President Borton plans to have two
undergraduate -living areas of. 350
students each, one around.the Foun-
ders-Barclay-Lloyd area, which al-
ready houses nearly 350 boys, and

one around the Leeds area, which ,
_.now-houses’. seventy-two..students.

' The faculty will not increase at
the same’fifty per cent rate. Ac-
cording to President Borton, many
of the advanced classes now have too
few etudents,-)* en
‘. Haverford ‘will finance its expan-
sion with a long-range drive for
thirteen million dollars. It hopes
to get this money from corporations
and foundations as well as from
alumni.

~ Although the Board of Managefs ~~

approved expansion almost unani-
mously, there are many students
afid somé faculty who do not favor..
the plan. These feel that. Haverford
will sacrifice its ideals and individ-
uality. by.increasing its size. Pror
fessor Theodore Hetzel of Engineer-
ing, for example, “Moving forward’
has nothing to do with the number
of. ‘students’ here.”

Fund Reisers Urge. -Library-Werker Considers:
_ Maximum Support

Proposal For Later ‘Hours

To the Editor:

_, A librarian should, I believe, speak
in answer to the recent student re-
quest. for expanded library hours.

I think this is a matter of self

discipline, of firm realization that
one has chosen four years of college
“and in-go-domg- has-committed-ex.2
self to: a nattern of life for those
years. If a student is unwilling to
give up a .iew personal preferences
in recognition of the need to -work
under the facilities. and rulings—of
this institution, she had better choose
another college than Bryn Mawr.

Although the requested service is
often available elsewhere, at Bryn
Mawr many problems peculiar to
this library seem to work toward a
denial of such- service~here. Points

Which have “been tentioned, “light”

“and heat, as unimportant, stafting

which is, are all to me less valid °

than. one.very.-major~consideration:
the vulnerability of the building and

. its handful of occupantg to problems

of extremely’ unpleasant nature
-when news becomes general that the
building is open late at night. The
two reading rooms have no telephone
available, they aré widely separated
by long open corridors with many

seize upon any scrap of mtormation, vermed or not, that nap-. dents will. do what they can to [yjess a watchman or watchmen

make this year’s campaign sugcess- *

clear. the building when it partially
closes and then stand guard on. what-
ever door or doors are ‘to be_open, IT
think it would be the height of folly

~ to leave the. building in charge of

two undergraduates. As a member
of the library staff,-I go on record
that I would be most unwilling to
assume the responsibility for a par-
tially-open Bryn Mawr library build-
ing unless backed by a constantly
operating watchman.

So my. advise to you-is-to give up
a few outside activities, send your
‘gentlemen friends away ‘for: the
afternoon (they. might better. study
during the day. also) and invite them
back in the evening when you have
- finished: -your- work, and use- the-li-

brary on a well-planned schedule. -

At any time the seating space gives
out completely and the book stock
is so inadequate that long lines are
necessary, you may rest. assured

that the library staff will do every-~

thing in its power to create better

facilities. But empty ‘seats, desk re-~

serves sitting waiting. to be read,
patronage by only a few relative to
the college population have yet. to

speak foy need of increased open .

hours. A minority of students, in
my opinion, has not the right to de-
mand special consideration from an
institution for its own’ particular
preferences.

Editor of MONITOR”

~-Surveys-Problems —

Of News Industry
: by Pauline Dubkin ,

The Christian Science Monitor is
one of the finest newspapers in the
country: responsible, thorough, un-
sensational, slantéd towards giving
intelligent analyses and background
material of the news it publishes.
Mr. Saville Davis, the Monitor’s
chief editorial writer, isa quietly:
dynamic ~man-- who- reflects these
qualities of his paper.

He impresses one as being vitally
concerned with the press in Amer-
ica.. When questioned about the -

‘problem that is uppermost in every-

one’s mind, the New York «newspa-
per strike, he answered carefully and, -
thotightfully. ; -

PUBLIC INTEREST, INVOLVED |

“This is a_ strike involving the
public interest,” he said, “and we.
must take a somewhat different at-
titude towards’ it than we take to-
wards other strikes. The situation
compels you to take’a position that
goes against your grain. In this
matter of strikes, one must decide
when they are generally against the
public interest, and take a stand ac-
cordingly.”

One. ofthe most serious problems
confronting the newspaper industry
is the growing number of newspaper ~
monopolies. Mr. Davis sees one pos-
itive factor in this situaition: in

cities waere a monopoly | exists,

newspapers are -no longer in - cut-
throat competition with each other,

and can afford to.be more respon-"..~_.

sible, less sensational.
LOSS HIGHER woes

But the loss is higher than the
gain in situations where monopolies
exist. According to Mr. Davis, un-
der these circumstances newspapers
lose much of their individuality, and

the quality of their reporting ‘is

weakened, ot :
It is strong, investigative report-

_ing that is needed most at this time,
“he, feels.—

“The- chief--oecupational _
disease of reporters. is to become.
cynical.” They must retain a basic
sense. of. thé constructive, must
ceaselessly dig for facts without. be-
coming disillusioned when they are

’ not*forthcoming.

Mr. Davis himself is this kind of
reporter. He cited a case that oc-
curred during the McCarthy era, —
when an unsubstantiated accusation. ,
was made for which -no facts were
immediately available. Before he
let the Monitor publish the accusa-
tion, he teft his desk and went to
work on the case.

_..For virtually_thnee days.and three

nights he dug exhaustively for’ the
facts, and finally got them. Although
reporting this thorough cannot often
be indulged in:in today’s newspaper,

‘where the emphasis is on.speed and

the “scoop,” it is the spirit of such
constant digging - and questioning
that is sorely needed, Mr.. Davis
contends, .

It_is, however; a hopeful sign that
a man with these high standards
feels that the sensé of professional-
ism and responsibility among jour-
nalists is growing, which- Mr. Davis‘

Reviwer Criticizes L

by Paulitie Dubkin

My review of last ‘year’s issue of
the Bryn Mawr-Haverford Review
was dominated by the adjective “me-,
diocre.” I am happy to say that, in
my opinion at least, the latest issue.
of the Review has pulled itself “out

of the morass of mediocrity and con- .

tains many pieces of writing that
are, if not momentous, at least spon-
taneous, un-selfconscious, and_skill-

_ fully executed.

 

 

“ideas

I do not at all care for the format
of the magazifie, however. The type
is small, light and excrutiating to
read, and the idea of having the
Bryn Mawr and Haverford sections
upside down from each other strikes
me as far too gimieky. .

They pieces -in.the- Review. are so

~divergent-imsiyle-ané-content%nat-it-;-

is hard to make general comments.

I'am glad that some critical egsays.

were included, and found both Jo
Rosenthal’s article on Cocteau and

Putnam Barber’s on Kant unusually |

fine. ‘Susan’ Deupree’s double-cfostic
is particularly. weleome in. these

_ Times-less days.

PASTERNAK’S POETRY

What I found to be far and away
the best works in the. Review were
the four poems by Boris’ Pasternak,
translated by Dr. George Kline.
There is much I could say about
them, but I would rather repeat an
observation that Northrop Frye
made in his lecture here last -week:
that the best: poet is one who~can
express old and even commonplace
in fresh and beautiful lan-
guage. Many times, the language
of Pasternak’s’ poetry. made me
catch my breath because of its sheer
beauty...

- “Moon Memory,” by Jane S. Rose;

“is a poem that’ starts out with the
same intention, to impress through .

its language and imagery. I do not

think it succeeds-very well (although |

T- admit it is not easy to follow
Boris. Pasternak, even in a review)

~hetalise it becomes too* abstract in”

its last verses. The imagery and
the emotions are, I feel, ton distinct
from each other: the poem might
have been better, though nearly de-
void of “‘ideas,” had the author end-
ed. with the third verse.

On the other hand Sheila Bunker’s
two poems, “Do Crocodiles Dream”
and “With Jason Through the . Sym-
plegades,” stick to the case at hand:
they do not go off into unnecessary
abstractiéns and their. imagery is
pleasantly concrete and central to
their. meaning, for both of which
reasons I admire them.

I cannot discuss all the pieces in
the Review in detail here, but-I will
mention that I enjoyed Jane Gold-
stone’s slight but evocative poem,
‘Nun in a Flutter,” that I think
Sara Ann Beekey’s “An Era Gone”
technically adept. but
hackneyed. in treatment, and that I
see no reason at all for Harriet
Adams’ “Dirge for a Fairy.” Sallee
Horhovitz’s “The Bath” I found very
appealing in its use of the unexpect-

ed and happily surprising word or
__image.. I fel_unqualified to comment
on Patutine Dubkin’s “August Eve- :

ning.”
The two longer works_in the Bryn
Mawr section, Sheila Bunker’s story

‘Behind the Wind” and Jane Gold-_

stone’s play “A Différent Question, is
could hardly be more different: “Be-

hind the Wind” is not complex ‘in

‘able polish: and good writing. The

‘acters, though somewhat. stéreotyp-
The end is mov-
ing, and 1 could ask for little more
in a story of this type.

“A Difficult Question,” on the oth-
er -hand, “has potential as .either.an
“absurd” or a didactic play, I am
not sure which. I found the dialogue

stilted .without seeing any reason

for it to be so. and the whole. thing
rather empty and flat. Perhaps if

acters and’ situation developed rfiore ©

is neither quite “absurd” nor quite .
intelligible enough. |

I hope’ not to sound -chauvinistic,
but I thought Bryn Mawvr’s pieces in
the Review generally better than

apparent in the latter. ‘

I consider pretentigus poems like
Paul Mattick’s first ‘““Poem,” because
of its sound-and-fury oratory ist
really comes down to very little i
the way of meaning or emotion, |
William Shafer’s “We Honor No
Boxtops,” with its high-flown ab-
stractions that yield essentially the
same result, - Alan Williamson’s
“Memory and. Belief”. I would put
in..the same.category--for- oe same

reasons; —

B. Doy Lederberg’s. two poems,
“Screen” and “Poem” also give. the
impression of having nothing under-.
neath the precarious (precarious be-
cause not outstandingly good) top
layer of language.” Returning to
Mr. Frye’s statement for a moment,
it is one thing to expyess' a coOmmon-
place idea in’ fresh: and unexpected

‘language, but quite another to do so

in a style that is itself/commonplace
and unappealing. In “Poem” the
images are confused and the meta-
phors hopelessly mixed as well.

Paul Hopper’s “Una Stagione Del

Maestro” and “Rhodes Scholia” shine~

like the sun through gre¥ clouds in
this setting. They are not. great
poems but they do not pretend to be;
as I feel many of the poems I have
just criticized do. They do not rant,
plead or whine: you can read them,

wit: and ‘ali, and not feel slightly —

embarrassed or_ slightly’ nauseous.

I found this to be true of all of -
‘Paul Hopper’s work in the Review.

A good vart of the Haverford-sec~—

tion is’ taken. up by three short
stories. The first and longest, D.
Doy ~Lederberg’s: “Land- and_ Sea;”
which we are told is a chapter from”
a novel in progress, is not really bad
but is the kind of short story one
might read and not stop to. reread.
in-any college publication. ‘The hero
is every unhappy, neurotic, sensitive
youth, and while he is certainly un-
derstandable there is nothing partic-
ularly compelling about the way he.
is portrayed: The same can be said
for the girl, the setting, the dia-
logue:

more of the subject-matter than. of

is skillful.

News Fronts Here And Abroad
UWF Members Actively Urge
A. World Federation For Peace

by Pauline Dubkin
The goal of the: United | World

Federalists, ‘an-aetive—and- growing -

organization with members through-
_ out the United States, is “to achieve
world peace through enforceable
world law.”

It is the Jatter part of this state-

ment that sets UWF apart from oth-,

er well-known peace groups. Unit-
.ed World Federalists consider-peace
demonstrations and urging of unilat-
eral disarmament unrealistic. They
advocate instead a world federation,
~<"for establishment of law and~order .
on the world level.
ee Several members of this group,
including Mrs. Janice Gordon, Bryn

Mawr alumna, visited the college on -

February 17 to stimulate student in-

terest. in the UWF and to explain
its principles.

The federal principle has worked
well in the United States, and UWF
members :believe it could be: equally
successful on a world-wide basis,
(They do not, however, advocate a
complete world government..
federation they hope to see estab-
lished would be concerned only with
the problem. of world peace). ,

In large measure, the Federalist’
position is the same as the official
U. S. position in foreign policy. Both
hope for the establishment of per-
manent peace. Both want plans
that can be trusted by the United
States and the U.S\S.R, The Fed-
eralists feel that these hopes can
become realities through a world
federation.

UNITED NATIONS

Although the UWF believes that
the United Nations is the best in-
strument through which world law
can be maintained, they. favor re-
_ vision in the structure of that or-

ganization. For it to have the

power of keeping world peace, they
would, for’ example, revise-the-one-
voté-per-country system (whereby
the great world powers have no more
voice than. smaller, less important
. countries), take away the veto, and
establish a U..N. army and a world

court with compulsory - jurisdiction. -

The United World Federalists
adhere to the doctrines expouhded in
a book by Grenville Clark and Lewis
Sohn, World Peace Through World
Law, published in 1957, The book,
which the #ederalists consider to be

one of the most important contribu-
tions to the problem of peace, dis-
cusses in detail the revisions.that are
necessary to make the U.N. the pro-
tector and maintainer of world peace
through law. It is required reading
for anyone interested in the UWF
and what. it stands for. |

President Kennedy Hopes To Cure Youth. Problems
With A Multi-Phase Program Now Before Congress

by Diane Schuller :
Sandwiched between President
Kennedy’s' major proposals before
Congress this year (such as the tax
program, medical care and aid to

education) is a seemingly obscure:

bill which will probably be one of
the first ones to be considered. _
This bill concerns. the chief prob-
lems affecting the nation’s youth
and the President’s proposed solu-
tion. It is a multi-phase program
designed to deal with the unemploy-

ment, health and delinquency _prob-

lems of American youth.

It- has: been reported that today’s
youth, once 38 percent of the United
States -population, now comprise 39
percent. .This'means added pres-
sures on schools and on, the labor
market. In the.1960’s, it is estim-
ated that -over-26 million young. peo-
ple’ will be seeking’ employment.

Today, youths~just out of school,
auen ih to 21, comprise only 7 per-

cent of the labor force, but 18 per- ..

cent of the unemployed. -Idleness -
among young‘ workers is two and
one-half times the national average.
For minority groups and high school
drop-outs, the figure is even higher.
In the 1960’s, about 7.5 million: stu-
dents will quit school befowe obtain-
ifig’ a high school diploma, and ‘will

75 percent failed a more comprehen-
sive physical-performance test.

President Kennedy’s - proposed so-
lution t8 these problems is seen in
four new corps: a Youth Conserva-
tion Corps, a “Hometown” Corps,
aNational Service Corps and an
increase in the Peace Corps.

The Youth Conservation Corps is

designed to help the- “unemployed,
unskilled and unwanted,’sIt would
‘enroll about 15,000 youths at the
start. They would be put to work
Improving our forests and recrea-
tion areas.’
_ In. addition, 40, 000 of the young
ei e who"need help would benefit
the “Hometown” Corps. Here,:
the. Federal Government would pay
half; the costs .of employing youths
on local, non-profit projects such. as
hospitals, schools -and. -parks.

 

"The National Service Corps, often

called the- “domestic Peace Corps,” —
would recruit young people who wish
to help others. However, it would
not be confined, to youth. People of.
all age groups would work under lo-
cal direction in mental-health cen-
ters,~ hospitals,.. Indian reservations
and slums. The number to be re-
described as “small.” . Some. of. us -
may . recall fillling ‘out recently a
“questionnatze, ént by the National
Peace Corpsy to discover what kinds

to éxpand thiS to 13, 000. :

To combat delinquéncy, the Presi-
dent would continue for three more
years federal grants to finance more
than. fifty demonstration projects in
communities around -the - country.
To combat poverty, he asks for
“substantial increases” in public as-
sistance. funds to ‘promote -health.
He, wants greatly increased grants
for maternal: and child-health pro-
grams. Finally, to combat ignor~
ance, ‘he again.suggests a “compre-
hensive” aprogram of federal. aid to
education.

Most of the cnsoittion to the Pres-
ident’s * program comes from. two
“Conservative and rural
Republicans, . along with Southern
Democrats, have felt that too much
money would4be spent for’ a result
too uncertain.

Some. Republicans have argued
that Mr. Kennedy’s approach is too

said.

There are those on both sides of
the political fence who agree on one
criticism of the President’s program
for action,, Some of its opponents —
complain; and'some of its supporters
fear, that t will be ‘overrated -a$ a
panacea for all ills of thenation’s

Venezuela is

extremely important.
the ‘most vital source of iron ore for
the United States and is also one of
the great oil reserves of the world.
If Castro and his cohorts could obtain,
these vast resources, they-could-deal—
the United States a mortal blow.
It is apparent that Castro’s Cuba

~is Khrushchev’s' number one train---~ .
ing school for guerrilla warfare in °

the Western Hemsphere. This may
be why President Kennedy said:, “I
regard Latin America as the most
critical area in the world today.”
The President must realize how a
Russian’ pase. in Cuba downgrades
the United States’ image through-
out Latin America. To these coun-
tries Russia seems strong and en-
trenched, while the United States
appears weak. Perhaps this will ex-
plain all of the White House efforts
to show how few the Russians really’
are. and how relatively weak their
weapons.

The‘ problem which remains : to be
solved is how to force or entice the
Russians out of Cuba. Premier
Khrushchev has. promised to. with-
draw. “several thousand” of his
troops from Cuba by March 15. The
true significance of this move de-
pends on “how many and what. kind.”

While Khrushchev has been making—

promises to ‘us, he has apparently
been making them also to Castro.
Cuba has announced that Soviet Rus-

sia has agreed to build’ a “fishing.

port” near Havana. Informed sources
“believe this “fishing port” may~ be
‘the start of a Communist naval and
submarine-base which could possibly
be built up to counter the United
States Navy Base at Guantanamo. ©

So far as could be learned through

®the screen of secrecy thrown about

‘the -well-known sea and air observa-
tions of Commuist shipping in and
out of Cuba, there is no evidence
that Soviet Premier Khrushchev, has

relented on ‘his promiseto remove
~Jong-range nuclear: warhead ‘missiles,

from the island. However, it is
known that shorter range atomic
weapons can easily be ‘stored in
Cuba, possibly in the caves , where
refugees have repeatedly reported
them to be located.

POSITIVE. ACTION

In considering all of the facts, I
feel that Senator Stennis has very
adequately summed up the- feelings:

of many Americans regarding the ©

‘Cuban crisis. “What concerns me
is Whether .we. intend to permit a
Communist government, to exist in
Cuba or other Latin-American coun-
tries. If we do, then we should

~ Reviewer Finds Brecht Play
Lacks Clear Characterization

by Brooks Robards

The Philadelphia Drama Guild’s
production of Bertold -Brecht’s- A
Man’s A Man, instead of being excit-
ing or sect ans was vague and dis-

“cursive.
The play was supposed, toshave a

detached. air about it, but .this .de- .

tachment should have had a~razor-
sharp edge to it rather than the un-

certainty evident in this priduc-

‘tion.

Brecht provides’ challenging ma-:

terial. He is a proponent of what
has become known as “Aanti-theater”
theater, because he tries to prevent
any identification between audience
and actor which: would make the

play- -goer forget that he is the § spec- ;

~tator of a-play.~
ANTI-THEATER. DEVICES ;

A Man’s A Man jis full of anti-
“theater devices. “The: actors” war
bizarre, mask-like make-up; the cho-
rus, equipped with piano, . guitar,

sails and bongos, sits to the side, ‘half on

the stage and half in the audience; ~
each scene ‘is prefaced with a cap-
tion projected by a camera onto the
backdrop. The attors did not try to
heighten the effects of these devices,
but accepted them or ignored them
until the audience. was forced to. do
so also.

The plot.of A Man’ sA Man is sim-
ple. A naive. Indian porter, Gayly
Gay, leaves his hut in Kilkoa to go
and buy a fish ; he encounters a squad
of soldiers who have stolen money
from “The Pagoda of the Yellow
Monks” and lost one of their men
. in doing it. The soldiers, played by
Joseph Earley, Al Gold and Jack
Schnepp, persuade Gayly - Gay, play-
ed- by John--Carpenter, to imperso-
nate their missing comrade. As the
play goes on, Gayly Gay loses his -
own identity and assumes that of
Jeraiah Jip, the missing soldier. In
the process, he changes from a “man
who can’t say no” into a brutal kill-
er.

In spite of its simplicity of plot,

the play makes heavy demands on
the actors.. They~must—be able to -
move in and out of their parts with
ease * and assurance, sometimes
laughing at themselves, sometimes
talking directly to the audience. No

To Higher Records

February 13 and Fobriary20
marked the dates of -the swim

The first ‘was an° exciting home

The final score-was. 41-37 in favor
of the visitors.

The first event, the. 100 yard
freestyle was won by Penn by one

was being pushed around by his
Soldier friends. Mr. Carpenter’s
portrayal of Galy Gay transformed
into a brute soldier proved more
convincing.

The demands made on Widow:

times the femme fatale. _ Because

Dean (and later President)’ of Bryn
Mawr College, M. Carey Thomas.

It was made the headquarters of

“the Alumnae Association in 1933 ih
accordance with the wishes of Miss
Thomas, who strongly felt the need
of an Alumnae Center. Before Miss
Thomas had occupied the building,
it had been used for housing male
professors ‘and, along with the two
other houses which stood next to it
—Yarrow and Kelserhof—made up
the original “faculty row.”

‘After Miss Thomas took up resi-
dence there, the house was nicknam-
ed the “Deanery,” whence Kelserhof

-- was called the “Greenery,” and Yar-
row, which stood in the middle of
the two, was quickly dubbed the
“Betweenery.”

‘more to the Deanery than its
name. It was she who was respon-
sible for the strange, striking and
elegant furniture which now deco-
rates the Deanery. She collected
the furniture on her many trips both
to Eugope and to the Orient, and, as

one mby easily tell, it represents a _
“wide rangé of tastes and nationali-

ties:

The most interesting part. of Miss
Thomas’ artistic | . inclinations was
the» once famous Deanery garden,
which occupied the land where

Rhoads South now stands. Complete *
_with fountain pool,

figurines, and
an assqrtment of trees, flowers, and
shrybbery, it was a decorative asset
to campus. The garden, like the
Deanery, was. the object of Miss
Thomas’ artistic embellishments,
from statuary to furniture, and at
one time was dimly lit at night with

‘exotic lanterns she had brought

from China.,

ly widened, the Deanery still fulfills
the intentions of Miss’ Thomas; as

The ‘period of Interim at Smith

‘College—a three-week break — be-
.tween semesters when students are

given “an opportunity for indepen-
dent study, discussion, and investi+
gation of topics of: their choice”—
-has recently been the subject of
much: < debate -~and-~ -considération:
among Smith students.

On the one hand, there are cer-

tain disadvantages, Is Interim worth |

the pressures of'a shortened and
cramped first. semester? Is it. nec-
essary to. lay. aside three weeks to:
develop an independence which
might be learned. during the..rest
of the year? Is learning how to ice
skate, to drive a car, or knit faster
(some of the activities students. pur-
sue during Interim) Smith’s dis-
tinctive contribution to a woman’s
education? *

An editorial in a recent issue of

' the Smith Sophian stated that ‘In-
. terim is a Waste of time for ‘too

many people. By providing the op-.
portunity for more independence in
the regular semester, Smith can pro-
duce well-educated graduates, com-
petent to develop and pursue their
interests.throughout. their lives.” _.
On the other hand, a number of
individual students have . expressed
great enthusiasm for the. Interim
period. In one girl’s words:
“Interim is the most essential
‘part of our education here—even ©

» when -we use it. unwisely—and_in-
-dispensable if. Smith hopes to de-

velop thoughtful, sensitive ... and:
creative women. It. is -a .horrible
realization [to, find] that you don’t

 

 

really haye interests that could oc-
cupy you for three whole weeks. It
is frightening to realize that you

‘are bored with yourself.

“The person who has been told all
her ‘life that she has a good mind

and is destined. to be a member of.

the ‘intellectual elite’ -has never

_ been made to discover that. within _

her own being ‘she has not ever
awakened her native curiosity. _
“We liked Initerim because, for
once, we had the time to wander
through the whole wide spectrum of
fields for analysis ..
and consideration, without be-
ing bludgeoned by a syllabus...
When all roads were open for dis-

‘covery, it gave us a chance to learn

what pleases us...and at what
bridge hand our laziness: begins to
shade off into boredom.

“We are not too strictly scholarly,
and we resent the: administration

‘premise that we should devote our
‘time-to losing ourselves in dispas-

sionate intellectual ingestion. Though

- ‘self-expression’ has strange conno-

tations ; both “presumptuous and

_somehow culturally amoral, ‘self-dis-

covery’ is a goal clouded only by the
fear . . . that whatever’ we discover
may disrupt: the ordé¥: of our own.
little universe . .. We may not learn
to live with books, but since our lives
will not be built: wholly of books, we
profit just as much if we can learn
even to live with boredom.”
