The plan recently approved by the Board of Directors is being designed by O’Connor and Kilham of New York City. Architects for many college and _ university libraries, they are responsible for the Firestone Library at Prince- ton and the Robert Frost Library at Amherst, Mr. Philip M. Chu is the architect in charge of the Bryn Mawr plan, Miss McBride describes the prospective five-floor library both as ‘the new library’’ and ‘*4 major extension of the pre- sent library,’’ since the two will be used in close conjunction. It will provide 100,000 square feet overall and be placed next to the M. Carey Thomas Library, which will continue to be the center for faculty offices and some seminar rooms, and have a considerably ~ enlarged space for art and arch- aeology. The concept of a ‘*modern li- brary”’ is that it brings books and readers together instead of having books one place and readers another. Thus the new library will facilitate 699 readers in study space close to books and journals- that is, directly in the stacks. This library will also contain typing and smoking rooms. Shelf space for books in the collection. will be, doubled, and at last the librarians will be given adequate work space, The Deanery site appears to be the only space large enough for the new library building, and there- fore the Deanery will have to be relocated, Mr. Erling Pedersen, architectural consultant to the His- ’ toric Houses Committee of the Old Philadelphia Development Corpor- ‘ation, is currently making.studies as to the possibility of extending Wyndham to serve the purposes of the present Deanery. There is as yet no estimate of the cost of relocating the Deanery. The cost of the new library is tentatively estimated at $4,000,000; there is . already $1,500,000 set aside for it from funds raised during the three years of the matching grant from the Ford Foundation. Construction of the new library will not begin until the additional funds are raised, and until the ne- cessary study of the relocation of the Deanery is made. It is agreed May Day Festivities Promise Traditions Plus Social Events Bryn Mawr’s annual May Day rites are scheduled for Friday, April 29, this year. The agenda of events stretches from 5:45a.m. Friday into the equally small hours of Saturday and Sunday mornings. At the unlikely hour of 5:45 a.m. of May Day, sophomores wake the seniors in each hall. After a coffee and doughnuts wake-up at- tempt, the senior class pres- ident, Caroline Willis, leads her class to Miss McBride’s house carrying Miss McBride’s May bas- ket and her own. At 7:00 Miss McBride and Caro- line lead the seniors to Rocke- feller Tower where the traditional hymn to the sun is sung, The seniors go down the stairs of Rock four by four led by Miss McBride and song mistress, while all sing ‘*The Hunt is Up.”’ plone Prosidiel Drowdle .» » -viadpin willerown Caroline May Day.

After the May Pole dancing by all classes, Pem East offers its dragon play at 8:30. The pro- cession next returns to Goodhart,. The grand entrance by seniors, bearing interlocking hoops and singing ‘‘To The Maypole,’’ will be led by the Queen and song mistress. Next on the schedule is the May Day award assembly. Upon its conclusion, all proceed to * Senior Row to watch the Class of ’65 roll hoops. May Day afternoon will feature a stylized rendition of a typical ballad with background music. The "presentation is tentatively located in the Cloisters, ,the present that there will be no general appeal to alumnae for funds; rathér, the college hopes to erect the library with the help of foundation grants and special gifts. During the past eight years, various studies of ways to expand library have been made, including putting floors underneath the Cloister or filling up the Cloister or adding another building behind the Thomas Library, but none of these pro- posals was adequate for future expansion.

Teas every afternoon will be given by hall presidents for freshmen with no appointments at the time. Undergrad. then discussed the proposed budget increase, and the advisability of raising dues one or two dollars or of establishing a $20.00 ‘‘activities fee.’’ This fee, it was suggested, could be billed to parents during the summer or fall paralleling Haverford’s fee. Undergrad decided to submit the proposals to the students through its **Committee of 39°’ (actually a committee of ten in each dorm led by the Undergrad rep, but with the same opinion - tabulating function as last year’s Committee), which will record every student’s reaction to the alternative plans. Margaret listed advantages of the $20 fee as “fan increase in the caliber of speakers, and in the (overall) quality of the arts program’’ here, She also suggested that increased responsibilities and prestige would come to the Big Six presidents with the increased power they would have to plan better and more extensive pro- grams -- and that therefore ‘‘campus politics would pick » 20%."

The Merion petition continues, ‘It is appalling that only one policeman should be available at a large open house, that no one could stop the extensive drinking on the lawn, the climbing out of bedroom windows, and the expensive loss of property, including typewriters.’’ It goes on to protest that Burns Guards raid kitchens, use vulgar language and are directly rude to the girls or their guests. We would like to supplement these complaints by mentioning that the two incidents cited in our reporter’s article on page four -- break- ing into the Quita Woodward Room and swimming in Batten House pool after hours -- haveactually happened recently, and not in the same spirit as our reporter’s imaginary quest. Where were the Burns Guards then? ‘In short,’? says the Merion petition, ‘‘these men make us feel so far from being secure as to sometimes feel threatened. ‘swe have no way of distinguishing those who have tried to do their job tactfully, politely, and thoroughly. There may be such men; we wish them not to take offense. Our anger is directed at the whole system: something must be done about it!’’ Steps for improvement are up to the administration, First, the Burns Guards might be impressed with the importance of etiquette; their position is meant to be respected -- let them command respect, not’ defiance. It has also been suggested that student doorkeepers be hired from 12:30-2:00 as well as the present 10:30-12:30. If problems should arise at these hours within the dorm, the doorkeepers could alert their wardens as easily as could lantern men or Burns Guards. The finances used for lantern men could be put to use in better protection outside the dorms; i.e. more Burns Guards, who have been alerted to the need for greater vigilance and swifter action. . It is unfortunate that these incidents shouldbe brought to the attention of the college just before May Day; the anticipated Haverford attack may be met with a severity that the attitude of Bryn Mawr students would hardly appreciate. But in the light of these recent problems, ‘«something must be done about it!’ — Curtain Call . There has been considerable discussion on campus of late about what constitutes an ideal educational experience and about how closely the Bryn Mawr education approaches this abstraction. Certainly the ideal experience is more than a passive imbibing of, facts. Surely it must entail the student’s enlarging the scope and raising the level of his thinking by the addition of new images, concepts, and principles to his thought’s vocabulary. Further, it should involve his developing the courage, conviction, and initiative to work upon this new material him- self, to analyze it, and to arrange its parts in a synthesis, the peculiar quality of which derives from that of the unique in his personal vision. And finally, as well as a vital personal relationship with one’s subject, it should include the attaining of equally vital interpersonal relationships with the college and the larger communities through the interchange and application of ideas. Certain institutional features over which the students have no ultimate control (although they may exercise considerable influence) can enable or prevent, facilitate or hinder the achievement of such an educational experience, Factors of organization, personnel, policy, philosophy, or tradition cannot, however achieve it alone or guarantee its achievement. For this is not the ‘‘education’’ that we speak of as being ‘‘provided;’’ it is a reciprocal process and requires as much of the students as of the educational institution. Complaints about the Bryn Mawr education have been darected both against the attitudes and practices of the college, which allegedly fail to generate the interest and enthusiasm requisite for active student participation in the educational process, and against the apathy of a student body that allegedly fails to respond tothe opportunities afforded for contributing to campus life and classroom discussion, It thus seems fitting to give particular attention to.a recent display of student initiative that has worked through the existing organizational framework and yet transcended it, We are referring to the organization of Little Theatre, a student-run, student-directed enterprise that (it is hoped) will come eventually to be a valuable supplement to College Theatre. With the emphasis on serious drama that generally characterizes the latter, Little Theatre \ could utilize the talents of those whose particular bent is for comedies or musicals. And it could enable the production of plays with small casts without the accompanying disadvantage of leaving large numbers of | ___ | people unable to use thelr talents, We hope that many students will have, - the initiative to respond.to. the opportunities afforded by this product ee aaeanne, of a eiialtes perkape abt He OER Prien et erin te Se aA PaaS, Be he Pees PANE TBA THHE Fn wpnanvadevrnanumny wOrt atten Ls ReRErsonT ve eer tet: ebrtinntt shat iphidas diese sneer ntenicinnscit ~ LETTERS ‘TO THE EDITOR! Challenge To the editor: . This morning after breakfast I picked up a COLLEGE NEWS and “read Margaret Levi’s article (an excerpt from the speech she is to deliver in San Francisco), I let out a yell of protest that col- lected a sizeable group, and we loudly debated her points for some time. I have to admit that every- one except me generally agreed with her, However, I think she should be aware that there are some students . (one, at least!) for whom this par- ticular college experience ‘tworks.”” I like it here, and I thoroughly approve of _ the intellectual traditions of this com- munity: yet I don’t feel any deficit in ‘‘democratization and intellectualization,’’ nor do I feel above responsibility for my ine fluence on other students in the community, This legend that the “‘level ‘of participation in student affairs is very low’’ is very prevalent, but I don’t understand the basis for it. Many students put on fine plays, get together film series, work in Self-Gov for continual rule changes and innovations that are quan- titatively and qualitatively more impressive than changes made in other schools, and there is a lot of effective political activity, as Margaret herself knows. I hope that Margaret will take these views into account if she is going to the conference as a repre- Clarification To the Editor: Although I am not representing Bryn Mawy College per se at this convocation in San Francisco, I all comments and chal- lenges in regards to my remarks, To clarify a. bit: I do feel that Bryn Mawr offers the possibility for obtaining what I conceive of as being an education, and I think that its failures can be explained by the attitudes of the students more than by any other factor. _ However, just because Bryn Mawr is more intellectual and more democratic than most. other schools does not mean that it is beyond analysis and improvement. My speech continues: ‘¢Furthermore, a system which makes grades the criteria for the evaluation of a student’s per- formance creates pressures and goals which are. irrelevant to the educational process, The pass-fail method would, on the other hand, insure that the emphasis be on the student’s own desire to do well, and most students, I believe, would respond with their best if such a system were in effect. **Education must become a posi- tive, meaningful, and flexible pro- cess, not limited to the halls of a university but extended into every aspect of society. There isa world beyond the college, and it is the student’s responsibility to himself for his education to participate in its cultural, intellectual and political activity, and it is the administration’s responsibility to Students have a unique position in society, for they live in a com- ’ munity whose principle dedication is the development of thought and ideas, yet they are free from the social restraints which might incur in earning a living or being the head of a family. It is, there- fore, incumbent upon the student to ‘analyze radically and idealisti- cally, the structure of both the campus and the society beyond and to make demands for their im- provement. ‘(Democratization and intel- lectualization of the campus will not come about suddenly and will require hard work at the grass- roots level, The present university has the potential to realize these goals but first students must be made aware that the myths of non- participation, non- involvement, privatism, the passive education, and liberalism for liberalism’s sake are, after all, only myths, fallible and challengeable ... An education, which is to be both meaningful and positive, can only be brought about through outspoken and continuous. ques- tioning, discussion, controversy, and the presentation of alternatives by faculty, administration, and es- pecially students until the demand for change is a general one, and the analysis begins again. The development of new theories of education then becomes part of the educative process, and the whole college community would be involved in realizing their respon- sibilities to each other, to society, sentative of Bryn Mawr.

Raphael Discusses Vietnam War, Analyzes American Involvement by Alan Raphael Haverford, °66 The extensive American involvement in South Viet Nam dates from the years 1954-56, when the U.S. gave strong support to the maintenance of the Diem regime. The crucial event in this period was the refusal of Diem to agree to the nationwide elections called for by the Geneva agreements, The provision for elections was the chief political element of the accords which resulted in the cessation of hostilities in Indochina. The extent to which the U.S, was responsible for the decision not to holdelections, or acquiesced in it, is important in determining the extent of U.S, responsibility for the recent history of Viet Nam. The forces opposed to the U.S, in Viet Nain may judge the sincerity of U.S, advocacy of negotiations leading ‘to free elections by its actions in regard to the elections called for as a result of the negotiations at Geneva in 1954. To understand Diem’s refusal to hold the elec- tions, it is necessary to understand several factors: the: military and political position in Viet Nam in 1954; the responsibilities of the major powers under the Geneva agreements; and the effect of internal conditions within the two zones of Viet Nam on the national political situation. When the Geneva Conference met in mid-1954, the military situation in Indochina was most un- favorable to the French. The Viet Minh controlled most of Viet Nam and parts of Laos and Camb@dia; the French had far too few troope and had lost a great number of officers. The conferees issued two statements. One was a cessation of hostilities agreement between the French Union forces and the Viet Minh. The other, the Final Declaration of the Geneva Conference, was affirmed by all the conferees except the U.S., which issued a separate declaration. The co- chairmen of the conference were the foreign miniS- ° ters of Great Britain and the U.S.S.R., Eden and Molotov, respectively. The Delegation of the State of Viet Nam protested - that the French High Command controlled the Viet- namese troops only through the power of Chief of State Bao Dai and that the French had no right to negotiate. The Bao Dai government had no real power, having been created as an attempt by the French to divide the Vietnamese nationalist move- ment. The Geneva agreements provided for a cease- fire, a regrouping of the opposing military forces — _in separate zones, and the temporary partition of © the country until elections for a national govern- ment took place, The SmI PTE ot He Avision is made clear in both of the documents issued. The final declaration of the conference states this most clearly: ‘‘... the military demarcation line is provisional and should not in any way be inter- preted as constituting a political or territorial boundary.’’ In regard to elections, the cease-fire agreement provides that, pending elections, the Viet Minh in the north and the French in the south shall be in charge of civil administration. The final declaration indicates the timetable for elections: *‘... general elections shall be heldin July 1956 under the super - ‘vision of an international commission composed of representatives of the Member States of the Inter- national Supervisory Commission (Canada, India and Poland were the members; Indiawas the chair- man), referred to in the agreement on the cessation of hostilities. Consultations will be held on this subject between the competent representative authorities of the two zones from 20 July 1955 onwards.’? The decision to hold the elections two years after the agreements were signedwas caused by French and British insistence on a delay; the Viet Minh had wanted elections in six months. The accords were enthusiastically praised by the Viet Minh, China, and the U.S.S.R. The U.S, refused to associate itself with the final declara- tion on the grounds that it had not been a bel- ligerent in the war, but pledged not to violate the agreements nor to approve of any violation. Eden praised the agreements as ‘‘about the best bargain France and the Associated States could have made.’ Eden also criticized the U.S, opposi- tion to the final declaration, claiming that ‘‘since Dulles had been at least as responsible as our- selves for calling-the Geneva Conference, this did not seem to me reasonable.’’ The State of Viet Nam objected to the division of the country and criticized the French for fixing the date of the nation-wide elections. The latter part of this criticism indicates that the State of Viet Nam made no distinction between the two agreements, since only the final declaration fixed the date of elections. The significant developments in the political situation of Viet Nam in the two years following the Geneva agreements concern the consolidation of power by Ho Chi Minh and the Viet: Minh in the north, and Ngo Dinh Diem in the south. Since the Viet Minh already controlled most of the north and were aided by the prestige of their leader Ho Chi Minh; the transition to their total control was_ relatively easy. _- = In the south, the political situation was unclear. Bao Dai was not popular but neither were most of fcontinued on page 5) April 22, 1966 - COLLEGE NEWS. Page 3 Curriculum Committee Suggests Questionnaire On Freshman Comp Comparative Literature Course Shows Decided Vote for C hange Joan Cavallaro opened the meet- ing of the Curriculum Committee Tuesday night with a proposal to alter the membership of the com- mittee. In addition to the dorm reps, she would like to have a representative elected by the majors in each department. She suggested that the curriculum committee then divide up into sub- committees with executives who would meet as a sort of executive hoard. A subcommittee was chosen to study in more detail the com- plaints received about Freshman Comp and if possible formulate specific proposals for improve- ment. Anumber of committee members also volunteered to look into the possibility of comparative liter- aturg courses, one which would involyé reading in several lan- guagés and one which would deal with. foreign literature in trans- lation. There is some hope: that such a course (or courses) could be conducted by means of a seminar-lecture or plain seminar ° arrangement; the big problem seems to be finding people capable and willing to teach it. Joan also asked that the com- mittee look into the problem of official recognition for work done with the creative arts -- in dance, in the College Theatre, in musical groups. She noted that Bryn Mawr graduates who wish to do graduate work in these areas often have dif- ficulty getting into grad schools Vietnam Read - In To Include Poetry Of Mr. Lattimore A group of American writers, described as ‘*‘some of the best creative minds and spirits of our time,” will be reading from their own works Sunday, May. 8, at the University of Pennsylvania, Sto -bear witness to the viability of the American conscience,’”’ The affair is titled ‘‘Read-In for Peace in Vietnam,”’ Among the writers to be present will be Bryn Mawr professor Rich- “ mond Lattimore. Others will be Mitchell Goodman, Lenore Mar- shall, Alan Dusan, Susan Sontag, Walter Lowenfels, Peter Orlovsky, and Robert Mezey. Also, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Bly, Galway Kinnell, Daniel G. Hoffman, and George Deaux, The program will take place at . 8:00 p.m. in the Irvine Auditorium, Spruce and 34th sts., Philadelphia. Tickets for students are $2.00. Interested students should contact Mr. DuBoff of the Economics Department. Haverford Alumnus Killed In Chicago Paul Moses, a Haverford alum- nus who graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1951, was shot and killed in Chicago last month, He was 36 years old. Mr. Moses, who did graduate work at Harvard, was Assistant Professor of Art and Humanities at. the University of Chicago and a well-known art critic in the Chicago area. - Earlier, hehad lived in Bryn Mawr and Ardmore, Haverford, Harvard, and the University of Chicago are all taking up collections for funds for the education of Mr. Moses’s son Michael, presently three years old. _At Bryn Mawr, League is consid-_ ering the possibility of making a similar contribution from the re- ceipts of this year’s Campus Fund Drive. because the work they have done carries no official credit, Related to this problem is the problem of lack of opportunity for training in the fine arts, an issue which the Committee intends to examine in greater detail at subsequent meetings. A subcommittee was formed to consider the possibility of some sort of ‘course evaluation, and another group volunteered to or- ganize a seminar to be held at the beginning of next. year on “‘The Meaning of a Bryn Mawr Educa- tion.’? From this seminar it-is hoped that general goals will emerge which both the curriculum committee and the faculty com- mittee can use as a guide for ac- tion. Several hundred of the question- naires concerning Freshman Comp, which were sent out by the COLLEGE NEWS this week, were returned in full with comments running sometimes two pages. The questionnaire sought to glean stu- dent opinion on such things as whether Freshman Comp shouldbe limited to one semester, possibly - with a choice of literature and creative writing courses for the second semester, whether the freshman required course should be: an introduction to literature (like the present 101), and whether compositions with reading lists could replace classes, An apparent majority of all clas- ses (but especially the freshmen) favored limiting the course to one Smith, Holyoke Produce ‘Where The.Boys Are’ ACTUALLY THEY PRINTED SuCH A DismAak PICTURE OF PRINCETON, AMHERST, HARVARD AvD CoLvmBIA, THAT IT BECAME ACHDICE OF A SUBURBAN FXISTEMCE WITH AYALIE 3h A 6-H ITATION WITH Some >FORD. | HATE STATIONWAGONS ,5>--- _.have chosen photographs, _rough-hewn young _ by Anne Lovgren The temptation was just too strong for the college female to ‘leave unparodied Princeton’s no- torious directory of women’s col- leges *‘Where the Girls Are.’’ So Smith and Holyoke did it -- published, that is, the eastern college girl’s guide to the happy hunting grounds of the Ivy League. Their offering, appropriately dubbed ‘‘Where the Boys Are,’’ provides a one-page, general blurb on each of the men’s colleges treated. These are generally fun- ny, caustically so, in fact, con- taining counterparts to the ‘texistentialism and Romantic Poetry’? crack which immortalized Bryn Mawr. About Yale -- ‘‘A Yalie be- lieves he’s riding on top of the Ivy League: if he doesn’t really look like John Lindsay, he at least thinks he does.’? About Williams -- ‘‘,.. the not entirely abandoned Williams man manages to remain a gentleman. A Southern Gentleman, A Southern gentleman who didn’t get into Princeton.’’ About Columbia -- ‘‘... if you want your Columbia man, you can get him, And whatever his personal shortcomings, he does have some- thing to offer you: NEW YORK.’’ About Dartmouth -- ‘‘The Dart- mouth man is a masochist: he will regularly drive for three hours just for a chance to be shot down by a Smithie.’’ (REALLY, girls. Ed.) Along with the predictably amus- ing general write-ups, the girls ap- parently meant to depict the typical you with the typical him at his school’s typical ‘‘do.’’ Ex- amples, from the numerous, in- clude: Williams -- A sweet, but out- doorsey young thing, a meticulously man and two dogs.

Sponsoring the talk is Alliance. ’ Mr. Holt is also author of the column ‘*Tomorrow’s World,’’ syndicated in 60 papers throughout the country.

A strong minority of students, however, seemed to feel that two semesters were necessary. Some felt that they needed two semesters of writing practice, Others feared the loss of a. six-week paper, too much reading, less time for class discussions, and not getting to know as well one professor. But most favored a liberalization of the ex- emption policy. Background often played an im- portant role in the decision. Stu- dents ranged FreshmanCompfrom a boring repeat of what they had done for four years in high school (and surprisingly often said that, Freshman Comp was not as good .as their high school courses), to an exciting. and new experience in writing and in reading literature. Whichever the case, however, a large majority of students favored a wider range of course choices for. the second semester, with usually more widespread ex- emption for bored students to go on to higher level courses. Others saw in second semester a chance for creative writing coursés, style and method courses, or advanced literature courses which -would have more ‘‘cohesion’’ than the Freshman Comp program. Others felt that the second semester with’ six-week papers was unnecessary because they had already ‘‘learned’’ to write long papers for other courses the first semester. Students were almost evenly Crew Of * Long divided on. the question of turning Freshman Comp into an Intro- duction to Literature. Those against it liked the variety of- fered, wanted to study one per- iod in slightly more detail, or had already had such a course in high 4 school. Dissenters 'S pointed outthat~ a if Freshman(Comp and English 101 were combined, English majors would not have to wait through ‘two full year English courses be- fore taking an advanced course. As to the suggestion of replacing classes with conferences, students were on the whole against it. Most girls felt that the opportunity to share ideas and meet other fresh- men was valuable; this view was evenyupheld often in cases where the student did not feel her class discussion-or lack thereof -had been worthwhile. In general, those who felt that Freshman Comp had been a-:re- warding or anecessary experience were unfortunately outweighed by those who felt that Freshman Comp had been rote, repeat, or unhelp- ful. Some felt that the time ex- pended for Freshman Comp was not commensurate with the bene- fits they gained from it. Many listed the benefits they gained as, **J learned to write a 500 word comp in 20 minutes and raised my typing speed’’ -- a technique which, neverthless, is not .alto- gether unuseful. A _ surprising number also felt that their ability to write had actually worsened during the course. Several felt - they were made to conform to the teacher’s particular desired style of writing. As another recurring. theme pleaded, ‘‘Let us stop pretending that the course is necessary be- cause students entering Bryn Mawr do not know how to write a paper.’’ Day's Journey ’ Makes Use of Two- - Story Sets Work is | going forward on Col- lege Theatre’s production of ‘*Long Day’s Journey Into Night’’ sched- uled for May 6 and 7, This--week -particular-effort-is- being devoted to the construction of sets. The stage crew, according to stage manager Janet Ohle, will attempt a two-story arrangement (with the upper story, however, not one to’ be walked on), While the technical difficulties of such an undertaking are evidently great, the’ decision to have the second story was, says Janet, virtually compelled by the need for a lamp hanging from the ceiling of the first floor room: one simply can’t have a lamp hanging from a 14-foot height! As for the’ general nature of the set, O’Neill’s elaborate spe- cifications will not be followed exactly. This would be neither necessary nor practicable, for his detailed directives represent his memories of his home, and their value is principally for one reading the play rather than for those view- ing a production. Besides, the size of the Roberts stage (as well as the financial aspect) is a limiting factor. Only on a huge stage could O’Neill’s directions be strictly followed without a sense of clut- tering. Thus there will be a combination of realistic detail and impression- istic cut-aways. The first floor room will be “low, solid, realis- tic,’ with a doorway and stairs to the second floor on stage right as O'Neill specifies. Stage left, how- ever, is to be more reese ' “istic, While O’Neill’s exhaustive and explicit directions for the set will not be followed in their entirety, the lengthy play is to be presented complete and uncut, It is, however, aS Lance Jackson suggests, so in- “ tense that there will not be time to look at the wall, It is an im- portant, an intense play; Lance anticipates that it will be one of College Theatre’s better produc- tions, Hoffman To Read From His Verses Poet Daniel Hoffman will read from his works at the Deanery Tuesday, May 3, at 4:30 p.m. under the auspices of the English De- partment.

Thus, although each individual segment seemed complete in itself, I did not feel that the dance in its entirety was an integrated, unified whole. But such criticism is of small sign- ificance in view of the total im- pact of the piece. The quality of the dancing was on the whole ex- cellent, but the performance of Brad Bowers deserves special praise.

The French quickly in- dicated a desire to rid itself of the responsibility for governing the south. Therefore, the native gov- ernments assumed the role of successor government to the French, who had signed the Geneva accords, The United States opposed the political ambitions of the guer- rilla fighters who had quit the Viet Minh in opposition to the Communism of its leaders and sup- ported persons who ‘‘had no ex- perience of mass movements and whose sole contribution to the Na- tionalist cause was their insist- ence, especially among foreigners, that they were anti-French,’’ Bao Dai picked as his chief minister Ngo Dinh Diem, head of a family of Catholic emigrés from the north. Diem had always been outspokenly anti-French, although he had taken no part in the Viet Minh revolution, He had spent the last few years of the war studying in the United States. Upon assum- ing office he announced anelection between himself and Bao Dai. Al- though Bao Dai opposed this vote and dismissed Diem, the latter re- mained in office and carried out plans for the election. According to a British diplomat, Donald Lan- caster, the referendum ‘‘was con- ducted with such a cynical disre- gard for decency that even the Viet Minh professed to be shocked,’? The Viet Minh attacked this election as a ‘farce and swindle’? designed to ‘‘sabotage the Geneva agreements.’”’ As a result of this favorable vote, Diem set up the Republic of Viet Nam with himself as preSident, The fol- lowing year, Diem held elections for a National Assembly. Both the Viet and all opposition parties in the south urged a boycott of the elections, claiming there had not existed freedom of speech and press during the campaign. There was limited resistance in the north to the Viet Minh, chiefly consisting of peasants who ob- jected to the agrarian policies of the new regime. Although the com- position of the Communist Party of North Viet Nam was greatly unrepresentative of the general population, there apparently was little opposition to this circum- stance, On the other hand, there was great popular opposition to Diem in the south. The government did not exercise its authority in large areas, probably constituting a majority of the country’s are® Internal political opposition to the Diem government came from var- ious sources; his government would probably not have fallen had it not been for the support Diem received from the American government. Starting in mid-1955, Diem re- fused to agree to nation-wide elec- tions in Viet Nam. He gave three reasons. First, his government was not bound by the Geneva agree- ments since it had not signed them, Second, the necessary con- ditions for free elections did not exist in the north. Third, he de- manded that the north abandon Communism before elections could be held, The authorities of the north made numerous requests for elections to be held, They asked Diem to re- consider; they asked the co-chair- men’of the Geneva Conference to guarantee that the elections be held and later asked them to reconvene the conference to discuss the ques- tion of elections; they asked the French as a signatory to the agree- ments to persuade Diem to hold the elections. No diplomatic effort was neglected by the north in their -desire fo have" wattennise aleo- tions, Tic’ ices: aateind 0 te were answered, First, the Viet Minh claimed that Diem’s gov- ernment was bound by the agree- ments insofar as it was a suc- cessor regime to the French; the treaty was formally binding on “*the signatories of the present agreement and their successors.’’ Second, the north invited the In- ternational Supervisory Commis- sion to impose any conditions and supervision to assure that the elec- tions would be fair. Third, the Viet Minh enuciated a broad pro- gram to be implemented if they won the election; this program included a coalition government even if the Viet Minh won an absolute majority, and local auton- omy to.each zone and to the ethnic minorities which comprised 10% of the total population, The United States, in several’ statements, supported Diem’s stand on elections. According to Assistant Secretary of State Walter S. Robertson, ‘‘we believe in free elections and we support President Diem fully in his position that, if elections are to be held, there must first be conditions which preclude intimidation’ of coercion of the electorate. Unless such con- ditions exist, there can be no free choice.’’ Indian Prime Minister Nehru sharply attacked Diem’s stand: . **The South Viet Nam Govern- ment has not accepted the obliga- tions arising from that Agreement because it says it never signed it. It is perfectly: true it did not sign it. It was not an independent Gov- ernment then. The French Gov- ernment signed it and subsequently the South Viet Nam Government became the successor State to the French Government. The South Viet Nam Government gladly ac- cepted all the advantages accruing from the Geneva Agreement. It only objects to the obligations.”’ ole The favorable military position at the time of the Geneva Con- ference which was abandoned upon agreement for a temporary par- tition leading to national elections, and the satisfaction with which the accords were received by the Viet Minh imply that the Viet Minh expected to win the nation-wide elections, The political confusion in the south and the great opposition to Diem prevented Diem from estab- lishing a strong and efficient gov- ernment with control over the entire southern zone. Under such circumstances, no popular al- ternative to the nationalist guer- rilla forces of Ho Chi Minh arose in the years following the Geneva accords. The major cause of Diem’s opposition to the elections was that he thought he would lose. In short, the Geneva agreements were fundamentally violated by the south, The compromises on de- laying the elections and partition- ing the country, which were made by the Viet Minh in the expecta- tion of elections to unite the coun- try, actually led to the permanent partition of the country. The north made every attempt to bring about the holding of elections, while the south advanced several specious arguments, against the elections. The people the U.S, are fighting in Viet Nam today will not nego- tiate because they feel that the Geneva agreements would have settled the questions involved had the American-supported Diem regime not violated those accords, There are other reasons, maybe more important ones, why there will not be negotiations in the near future, but this article has in- dicated one of the historical bars to a settlement.

For distinguished re- search, he was made a Guggen- heim Memorial Fellow in 1961, A year later he received nation- al recognition for his abilities as a teacher in the form ofthe College Chemistry Teacher Award. This award involves nomination by the college president and support by testimonials from students and colleagues, His current research is sup- ported by both National Science Foundation and college grants, SUMMER SUBLET ¥*¥* CAM— BRIDGE For 2 or 3——Full Furnished, inc. piano and TV 3 bdrm, large kit, defe, lete, porch——7 mine Hervard Sq—— one block to stores, lsundromat ——$58/per person/per monthe Je Copen, 17 Chilton St. Slit Bo ee - a ~” MADS DISCQUNT RECORDS 9 W.

How does Mr. Berliner feel about Bryn Mawr? The answer, it seems, is just as favorable as ever, for Mrs. Berliner was a graduate student when they met, and was his first Ph.D. student. Mr.° Berliner: feels that chemistry or other science requirements are completely justified not only be- cause they are ‘‘useful,’’ but also as part of our “cultural” and ‘thumanist” heritage of intellec- tual achievement, ~placing the minds of the great scientists with the minds of men like Bach and Shakespeare. Mr. Berliner be- lieves there is ‘‘one culture,’’ not two cultires, one of science and one of liberal arts. “He also believes that there is . ‘tno difference in a feminine (vs. masculine) approach to science because there is no difference intellectually.’’ for the nearness of you Gate You’re sure of yourself when you have Bidette.
