Middlebury Prexy C qmpus Petitions Parry

To Give Address
At Graduation

James Isbell Armstrong, father
of Carrie Armstrong, °65, and
President of Middlebury College,
will speak at the commencement
exercises of the..senior class,

Now in his second year at Mid-
delbury, Mr. Armstrong was a
classics professor at Princeton,
with Homer as his specialty. He
later served. as associate dean of
Princeton,

The switch to Middlebury stands
out against a long-term Prince-
ton background. Mr. Armstrong’s
father and brothers attended; he
himself received his undergradu-
ate and doctoral degrees from
Princeton,

According to Carrie, he is now
a transplanted tiger among the
Middlebury« panthers (the school’s
mascot).

As President, Mr. Armstrong
has many new plans and projects
for Middlebury, including a new
center for language etudy.

Abrupt Undergrad Act

Undergrad set off a sharp stu-
dent reaction when it voted Mon-
day night to make the head of
Curriculum Committee an all-
campus elected office - without
consulting Curriculum Committee
Chairman Margery Aronson,
President of Undergrad Betsy
Pinckney, or the rest of the stu-
dent body, ;

Several students have circulated
a petition which now has the re-
quired number of signatures, for
a referendum to put Undergrad’s
motion under the consideration
of the whole college. They stress
that they are not necessarily. op-
posed to the proposal itself, but
strongly disapprove of the way it
was discussed and passed at a
meeting where the people most
concerned were not present.

The proposal itself would mean
that candidates for Chairman of
Curriculum Committee would join
in next week’s series of dinners
at which candidates for major
campus. offices will outline their
platforms, or special elections
would be held to put the com-

mittee’s new status - as equal in.

rank to the ‘‘big five’’ (Alliance,
Arts Council, Athletic Association,
Interfaith and League) into
effect this year.

. The actual discussion of the

~ proposal at the meeting centered

around the relative importance
and purposes of the committee.
Those in. favor of the proposal
pointed out that the present un-
certain status of the committee
could be greatly improved by en-
couraging discussion of the cur-
riculum all over campus through
the direct election of its chair-

Missing F ruits, Muses in Boots
Form Core ot F reshman Show

by Marian Pariseau
Lecturer in Chemistry

Ian Fleming’s creation, James
Bond, was given a delightful new
interpretation Saturday night in
the Freshman Show ‘Rotten to
the Core -- Another Prometheus
Bond Thriller.’’ In place of James
Bond, impeccably tailored and in-
vincible, there appeared Pro-
metheus Bond, in boyish attire
which included shorts and knee

“socks adorned with daisies, but

still invincible. The adventures
of Prometheus Bond.provided an
evening of wonderful entertain-
ment, :

For those who insist on a plot
in their adventure stories, one
was provided. Prometheus faces
his final task -- to rid the world
of the last bit of evil, in the form
of the apple from the Garden of
Eden. As he pursues the apple,
he passes through a fantasy world
which includes the Garden of Eden,
an ‘*farth’s Fair,’’ and the studio
of Vincent van Gogh. The plot is

just enough in evidence to pro-

vide continuity to a well balanced
mixture of songs, dances, and
sketches, and it seldom becomes
cumbersome.

A combination of a well written
script and Sue Rotroff’s fine per-
formance as the valiant, 48-pound
Prometheus ‘kept the caricature
going for the entire show without
becoming monotonous or heavy-
handed. The .script was always

 

 

The ‘ania’ ee romp through the garden of Eden.

funny, occasionally wise, and in
very good taste. In addition, it
was an evening filled with out-
standing individual performances,
The high point came with a ballet
performed by the Three Muses,
played by Mary Ann Beverly, Mary
Farrell, and Myra Skluth, who act
as Prometheus’ guides through
the past. It was an unforgettable
experience to watch the three
ballerinas beaming at the audience
while doing a slapstick burlesque
of ballet clad in combat boots
instead of ballet slippers.

The Garden of Eden scene was
‘an anticlimax after the Muses’
ballet.:The material did not come
up to the standard of the rest of
“the show. A soft shoe routine
‘done by Joyce = Lincoln as Eve

and Beth Chadwick as Adam was
well conceived, but its potential
was not fully developed. However,
the fantasy of the plot (which is
true in this. respect to the spirit
of Ian Fteming) gave an oppor-
tunity for one of the best scenes
of the show. After encounters with
various creatures at the ‘‘Earth’s
Fair,” such as a dinosaur, an
ancient Phoenician, and prehis-
toric bathing beauties, Prometheus
meets Frieda, who is pure Brook-
lyn. The success of the dialogue
between Frieda and Prometheus
is completely dependent on the
timing and on the authenticity of
Frieda’saccent. Lois Portnoy was
remarkably good on both counts,

man, The head of Cutriculum Com-
mittee would then be in a better
pcsition to receive suggestions and
complaints from more students,
and might more effectively rep-
resent student opinion on*such .
issues as reorganization of the
curriculum and self-scheduling of
exams. ‘

Objectors tothe proposal thought
that the present Curriculum Com-
mittee was too. ‘‘nebulous” an
organization to warrant such an
important status, but those who
were present at the meeting de-
cided that the ‘definition contained
in the Freshman Handbook of the
committee’s purposes as ‘a li-
aison between students, faculty
and college officers on all
academic matters’? is enough to
qualify it as an important organi-
zation - while leaving room for
future chairmen to define specific
goals and responsibilities.

Undergrad also discussed the
possibility of increasing the com-
mittee’s effectiveness by changing
its system of representation, The
committee now has a member from
each major department and two
from each class; hall reps, how-
ever, were suggested, following
the pattern of the ‘‘big five.’’
The entire issue now will be sub-
mitted to the whole college for a
full discussion and formal de-
cision,

Confused

The crisis in Vietnam has revealed, as crises will, the number and
variety of human responses -- organized and unorganized. Chief'among
the feelings now prevalent, however, is a feeling of confusion. The
government has stated that our new policy of extended war in Vietnam

 

is an answer to North Vietnamese aggression. Yet. this defines the .

limits. of U.S,. obligation only in a negative sense. If the govern-

ment is to expect. the support of its people for its present actions, it .

must offer a positive statement of U.S. objectives in Vietnam and
indeed, all of Asia,

On the basis of such a statement, the individual citizen could then
formulate an opinion which would incorporate reason as well as emotion.
Most important inany such formulationis a synthesis of the two primary
aspects of the question--the situation as it is, and the situation as it
“ought”? to be, seen according to the dictates of individual reason. The
responses which have been expressed most often and in the highest
key on this campus are those of the extremes--the opinions of those who
say, in defense of the ‘‘ought’’, pull out, and the opinions of those who
emphasize the ‘fis’? and say, ‘‘push the present policy to its limits, with
‘little regard for consequences.’”

It seems that those who consider only the ‘‘ought’’ of the situation have
made the crisis an academic question which comes of studying the
problem in vitro -- since in vivo investigation is impossible. Those
who design opinion based on the opposite extreme have perhaps not
considered the ultimate effect of such a policy.

Needed now, before the country limits its maneuverability any
farther, is a clear statement of policy by the government. Needed now

‘ 4s informed response from the people based on a consideration of both
the theory of policy and the empirical Situation as it is given. Such a
statement and such a response can lead to profitable negotiation before

danger becomes actuality.
Kudos

The Class of 1968 presented Bryn Mawr with an unexpected treat
Saturday night -- Rotten to the Core emerged as one of the cleverest,
most amusing, and most professional freshman shows inrecent history.

Freshman Show is another of our numerous traditions, and Bryn
Mawrters are accustomed to receive the production in a kindly spirit.
Everyone appreciates the concentrated effort and affection that finally
sends forth, from seeming chaos, an organized presentation.

This show, however, requires no such apologies. Without resorting
to off-color innuendos or trying in-humor, the freshmen assembled a
production that even the most priggish stranger could not resist.

We need not repeat in detail the praise that has circulated across

_ campus and hopefully has reached deserving freshmen ears. We would,
however, like to thank Lynne Meadow, Laurie Deutsch, Marcia Ringel,
Wendy Fein, Janet Kole, Jessica Norris, Ruth Gais, Liz Schneider, the
cast, and all the other girls involved in creating and presenting the
show. There’s no doubt in anybody’s mind that it came out all right.

~ How Much Hell?

Hell Week, the closest Bryn Mawr comes tosorority-type hazing and,
‘ as a result, inevitably a point of contention, has sparked an unusually
.hot controversy this year.

Dissenters from the sophomore class have been voluble enough that
Mary Delaney, class president, has called for a special meeting next
Monday evening todiscuss the issue. The opinions to be aired range from
strong support of the present tradition to curtailing or total abolishment
of it. A number of people feel that the days of “‘hell’? are immature and
destructive. &

Ironically enough, the dissension appears to stem chiefly from the
“‘persecutors,’’ although individual freshmen have expressed disapproval
of the custom.At least one group of freshmen ‘‘victims’’ -- those from
Pembroke West -- are actively. opposing the dissenting sophomores,
however, and will attend the meeting to voice their opposition.

As the Pembroke West freshmen point out, a Hell Week run wisely
and in the spirit of friendly competition is not only enjoyable but con-

structive. It can also be a field day for petty cruelty and dangerous’

pranks, a fact proved by the many ugly hazing incidents on other college
campuses, Nevertheless, the blame for this rests not on the framework
’ of the tradition but on the people acting within it.

It would be sad to abolish an efijoyable Bryn Mawr custom, when all
that appears to be needed is aclearer definition and more conscientious
support of its spirit and aims. Also, it will hardly be a compliment to

Bryn Mawr if we are unable to realize ae gos eee of the.

tradition without also giving reign to the bad.

Curriculum

To the Editor:

At the February 15th meeting of
the Undergraduate Association, a
motion concerning a major change
in the stature and purpose of the
Student Curriculum Committee
was proposed, voted upon and
passed, The question was raised
spontaneously and had not been
included on the agenda. Since the
timing of this discussion coincided
with a television program “about
Haverford’s self-scheduled ex-

amination system and because this -

matter is currently the central
business before the Curriculum
Committee, I was not present at the
Undergrad meeting, nor was’ an-

‘other ‘‘qualified’? member of the

committee. All students on cam-
pus interested in the possibility
of self-scheduled exams at BMC
had been urged to watch the tele-
vision presentation,

It would seem that Undergrad’s
sense of proportion has been some-
what distorted. They are, ineffect,
elevating the Curriculum Com-
mittee toa position equal to that
of one of the “Big Five,’’ giving
its chairman a- seat on College
Yet, they effected this
measure in the space of fifteen
minutes with discussion, infor-
mation and consideration which
seems inadequate in light of the
magnitude of this change. More-
over, the selection of the chair-
man of this organization has been
delegated to the student body and
Undergrad, the representative or-
ganization, has not yet determinéd
the function, the purpose or the

relationship of this committee to
other college organizations, Thus,
I consider that this question has
been insufficiently discussed, both
by. Undergrad and by the Bryn
Mawr students at large, since
such a.major policy change will
ultimately affect each member of

‘the college community,

I therefore submit that the
motion passed by Undergrad last
week be reconsidered and that the
issue be presented to allow time
for careful thought. If the campus
should fervently desire to elect
the chairman of the Student Cur-
riculum Committee, there seems
no necessity for hasty action
merely to accommodate the pres-
sent impending dinner system. The
nature and scope of this decision
merit more’ than a single day’s
thought and certainly more than
a single night’s action.

Margery Aronson, ’65

Referendum

To the Editor: e
Alot of sound and fury has
been generated among a few groups
by Undergrad’s vote in last
Monday’s meeting to elevate the
Curriculum Committee chairman
to the status of the ‘Big Five’’
and make her office anall-campus
elected one. In view of the fact
that the action was rather hastily
taken without substantial dis-
cussion, and that this is a major
change in the Undergrad structure,

at City Hall by Paul Potter,

tained by the government of South

Representative?

To the Editor:

The recent furor about Under-
grad’s changing the status of Cur-
riculum Committee has one ex-
important implication
which I. would like to point out.
I realize there are many other
issues involved, but I will con-
centrate on this one.

By common assent, the student
government at Bryn Mawr is based
on a democratic, representative
system. Everyone is an ipso facto
member of the Undergraduate As-
sociation, Everyone elects the
members of the Undergrad Exe-
cutive Board. Everyone is rep-
resented at least two times (and
often more) on the Executive
Board. She is represented through
her dormitory, through her class
president, and if she belongs to
an ‘‘interest’? group (Alliance,
A,A., etc.), through the president
of that organization.

The representatives are em-
powered by the Undergrad con-
stitution (and by the assent of
the student body) to initiate and
pass legislation.

By questioning the right of the
Executive Board to change the
status of Curriculum Committee,
the petitioners are questioning the
right of Executive Board to per-
form its functions, They are negat-
ing their trust in their choice
of representatives to act within
the constitutional system.

If we are to abide by this system
we must believe .in it. We must
show our belief by electing respon-
sible representatives. The rep-
resentative must regard her of-
fice as not only a privilege but
also a responsibility.

and sexually aroused freshman
men, although she denies all such
statements.

Anyway, if Stanford does have
problems along the lines of sex,
we'd like to offer Bryn Mawr’s
successful solution.

In order not to necessitate dis-
cussion of sex in our freshman
comp courses, we offer those all-
embracing hygiene lectures. to
naive newcomers,. :

Television News Show Honors
H’ford College Honor System

by Kit Bakke

WCAU-TV presented a half hour
program entitled ‘‘A Question of
Honor’? that was primarily con-
cerned with Haverford’s honor
system Monday, February 15. The
program owas’ apparently an
assurance that all colleges are not
as populated with cheaters as was
the Air Force Academy.

The show opened with the shock-
ing facts of Columbia University’s
study on academic dishonesty reel-
ed off in front of the camera; 50%
of 5400 students interviewed at 99
colleges admit to cheating; 61%
of fraternity and sorority affiliated
students cheat; 57% of the students
with a “C’” average or below
cheat; 51% of the non-scholarship
students cheat; and 61% of the
students in co-ed schools ‘cheat.
Perhaps most interesting was, the
statistic that only 19% of the stu-
dents in all womens colleges cheat.

. After brief shots of college
campuses in the Philadelphia area
(including one of Goodhart) the
focus was placed on Haverford.
This it said, has a unique honor
system highlighted by the schedul-
ing of exams by students. This
kind of scheduling was initiated
three years ago by senior Kent
Smith, and has, as Dr. Cadbury,
dean of Haverford,stated,
reduced tension at exam time and

’ thus actually provided a better

education for the students.

Since the student can schedule
his exams himself he has only him-
self to blame for doing poorly. This
way, he is able to do justice to
each course in terms of studying
time. In addition there is the
knowledge that the exams are not
locked up. After all, said one inter-
viewee, ‘‘either you have an honor
system or you don’t.’’

Haverford, then, does have an
honor system. It is based on the

principles of personal honesty and“

integrity and is facilitated by a
formal reporting system. That is,
each student is obligated to report,
not only himself in case of
infraction, but also the infractions
of others if they do not report
themselves.

There. was some disagreement
as to whether living under a system
such as this for four years will
carry over into post-college life.
The general trend, however, wasin
the affirmative. Boys who live in an
atmosphere of mutual respon- |
sibility, respect and trust are apt to
carry this on into the social and

political life of their community “

after they graduate, They then
become citizens who are well ac-
quanted with the idea of honor.

Dr. Cadbury point A out that the
honor of a studént depends a great
deal on what is expected of him.
Students generally act as people
expect them to. If honesty in
academic work is _ sincerely
expected, then it usually is forth-
coming. It depends ‘on how much
each student is impressed withthe
importance of the honor system.
An honor system that is accepted
contributes to the betterment of
the academic, moral and ethical
climate of a college. And the pro-
gram was happy to be able to con-
clude that according to written
pledges from each student, Haver-
ford College does accept its honor
system.

In loving tones, Lola will tell

goats eat spinach, carrots, lettuce,
straw suitcases and books. Lola’s

How to enjoy

two Londons

 

on one visit

Lively London offers you new sounds,

_ new sights and new ideas. Traditional

London still abounds with treasures. .

I LIvELY London, bright new things are happening.
Writers and painters are turning out important new
work (you can mix with them in their favorite haunts
for the price of a coffee or a beer). Sounds of a kind
you've never heard come beating out of jazz clubs.

(Membership starts as low

as 70¢.) The theatre and

ballet are full of vitality (theatre seats start at 70¢ ). Two
‘weeks’ membership in a nightclub with a famous satiri-
cal floor show will cost you only $1.50.

The other London is still there, taking no notice. West-
minster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of
London, Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace.
The splendid museums, the great art galleries. You can
enjoy most of this London absolutely free.

Last Place Team

Enjoys Wilson Playday

by Anne Godfrey
A.A, President

In. the midst of Hell Week, Bryn

Mawr sent bowlers, swimmers,

fencers and basketballers to Wil-
son to participate in a playday
with Goucher, Penn State and Wil-
son, After little sleep and a long

- ride the teams put up a valiant,

though not too successful effort
in the day’s events,

The bowlers, some of whom had
only seen the large balls on tele-
vision, had an average of 93 - which
for those of you who have not
bowled with big balls is far from
outstanding. However, they were
at Wilson to swim and not to
bowl. In the proper sport, they
fared much better, They won the
medley relay and Sue Orbeton
came in second in the butterfly.
The Wilson pool is only 15 yards
long and this necessitated three
laps rather than the usual two,
costing Bryn Mawr many valuable
seconds,

The basketball team was
amazingly consistent:
_ Penn State 29 BMC 8
Goucher 34 BMC 7
Wilson 33 BMC 8

The Bryn Mawr team had only
six players while the other teams
had many substitutes. Though very
weary, our team struggled to the
end. ;

The fencing was not. much
brighter. It was anindividualelim-
ination rather than team compe-
tition. Three of the fencers won
their first bout only to lose their

Freshman Show...

(Continued from page 1)

In the opening and closing
scenes, Janet Kole was convinc-
ingly coy as the hero’s secretary,
Icebox. In the first scene, she
gave a sparkling performance of
the song ‘Think Evil,’’? which pro-
vides a witty answer to Prome-
theus’ worries about his future
once he has removed all evil
from the world. The spies neces-
sary to every spy story lurked
in a properly sinister way through-
out, and their individual accounts
of how they fell into a life of
crime were very entertaining.

One scene takes place in the
studio of Vincent van Gogh as the
search for the apple nears the

_end, This scene is somewhat handi-

capped by a.tendency of the script
to sacrifice comedy to further
the plot, but Cindy Ayers as the
artist and Margie Westerman as
the model with purple kneecaps
made the most of the material.
Among the other noteworthy per-
formances were.a fine caricature
of a beauty contest M.C. by Robin
Johnson; .a seductive solo during
a dance sequence by Amy Dickin-
son; and a beauty contest sketch
with Pat Winter as Miss Neander-
thal and Susie Teeter as Miss
Paleolithic, helped by a chorus
of contestants, displaying vocal
talent as well as —beauty—in—a
lively song ‘*Play It Cool.’?
Mention should also be made of
the costumes which were well
thought out and which included a
particularly handsome dinosaur.
The class of ’68 seems to have

‘an abundance of talent. The songs

were fresh and entertaining, the
dancing was -polished and well
choreographed, and the orchestra
was excellent.

At the curtain call, the entire
cast sang one of Prometheus’ lines,
“7711 come out all right.’? Their
show certainly did.

Will Pool Talents
For Joint Concert

The MIT Symphony will. col-
laborate with the Bryn Mawr-
Haverford Orchestra February 28
for a program of classics and
a 20th-century Russian work,

Returning a visit made by Bryn
Mawr and. Haverford a year ago,
the MIT group of 49 boys and
nine girls will arrive Saturday,
conduct three rehearsals, and per-
form Sunday at 3 p.m. in Good-
hart.

With John Corley of MIT and
Dr. Reese of Haverford alternately
conducting, the combined groups
will perform The Leonore Over-
ture #2 of Beethoven, Brahms’
First Symphony, and the Lieu-
tenant Kije Suite by Prokofiev.
Harriet Swern, co-president of
the Bryn Mawr Orchestra, is es-
pecially excited about the last
selection, since they were suc-
cessful with another modern Rus-
sian composition, the 5th Sym-
phony of Shostakovich, last year.

The advantage of this combined
concert is the greater versatility
of these two small groups with a
larger range of instruments.

Saturday night after the réhear- ©

sal, the MITers will have achance
to relax. .The girls are planning
to spend the night at BMC, but
first they hope to meet some
of the students here at aninformal

‘Reform or Revolution’ Topic
Of Amherst Rights Conference

The necessities for organizing
the poor and for developing through
them .a new sphere of power in
order to gain civil rights were
emphasized last weekend at acon-
ference ‘*The Civil Rights Move-
ment - Reform or Revolution?’’
held at Amherst College, The im-
pressive array of speakers ranged
from actor Ossie Davis through
S. Aronwitz, of the Committee
for Full Employment, Jesse Gray
and B, Strickland of GORE, and
Tom Hayden of the Students for
a Democratic Society (SDS),
through Noel Day and professors
from Haverford and Boston U,
The absence of Malcolm X, and
Michael Harrington made the con-
ference less spectacular than
hoped for, but gave more opportu-
nity for close discussion with lec-
turers and studénts,

Views on the question **Reform
or Revolution?’? ranged widely.
Several speakers supported plans
such as Urban Renewal in the
fight for civil rights.

Student speaker Tom Hayden
saw the conflict as an economic
problem. Negro blue-collar work-
ers, said Hayden, are laid off
not because they are Negro but
because automation replaces their
jobs. Thus: they have no economic
bargaining power.

new sphere of power.

The SDS goes into poverty
stricken areas. and tries to or-
ganize the people to work through
existing channels in city govern-
ments which should be available
for redress of grievances. Rent
strikes and sit-ins are also used.
Eventually, if. these people create
a powerful force they may run
candidates in local elections, thus

‘Obtaining local power, to effect

the necessary changes.

Ideological alienation from the
dominating - convictions of our
present society is necessary for
leaders working for any basic
change in the Negro’s situation,
said more radical speakers Arono-
witz and Strickland. These leaders
could not work within an existing
local power structure, as the US
government does when it gives
War on Poverty money to an al-
ready established, successful or-
ganization, They must start from
the grass roots and work up. They
must also guard against usurpation
of organizations they have built
up by those seeking to graft these
onto the present unsatisfactory
society, _

The question ‘*Reform. or Rev-
olution?’’ was not answered, but
clearly many want radical reforms
involving creation of an entirely
