' Eon omy THE COLLEGE NEWS Vol. Lil, No. 8 BRYN MAWR, PA. NOVEMBER 4, 1966 © Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1966 25 Cents Barra Grant readies for a scene in ‘‘The Winter's Tale,’ set for Social Committee Faces Revisions in Structure The evident problems of the Social Committee have led to a proposed revision which was brought up but not voted on at Undergrad Monday. (There were not enough people present.) This revision would provide for two co-chairmen of the commit- tee, instead of the single chair- man working now. Both of these officers would be elected from the Freshman Class, one in No- vember and one in March. Each one would serve a year, and the two together at the beginning’ of their sophomore year would serve on the Freshman. Week Commit- Revision Meeting Treats Sign-Outs, Self-Gov Function The’ first meeting of the con- stitutional revision committee took place Wednesday night, The committee decided to con- tinue meeting on Wednesday nights, The girls present then began to throw out general questions about the Constitution, They discussed briefly the meaning of Self-Gov- ernment and asked whether safety rules and other unchangeable rules should be under its jurisdiction, The sign-out system was also brought up, It was decided to write away to various. schools such as Radcliffe, Johns Hopkins and Sarah Lawrence, for informa- tion on their constitutional and honor system, After reaching some agreement on the general function of Self- Gov, the committee will divide the Constitution into various sec- tions for close study, Most of the work should be finished by Christ- mas, and presented to Self-Gov, The revision committee oper- ates independently from Self-Gov, They will elect a chairman'‘and a secretary at the next meeting, tee. In this way there would be an overlap -- there would always be one girl in office who had had some experience. In addition, Margaret Edwards, president of Undergrad, pointed out that it is the freshmen ‘and sophomores who are primarily concerned with mixer -type activi- ties and thus they should have the major voice in the Social Com- mittee. The publicity chairman would be elected from the sopho- more class to serve when she was a junior. “ The Freshman Week Commit- tee is to remain as before, com- . posed of the social--.committee chairman and one representative from each dorm, and a non-res representative. Margaret also proposed an in- crease in meetings in the dorm: twice a year the dorm social com- mittee rép would hold a meeting to find out student opinion. The committee now feels hamstrung because it doesn’t really know what girls want. The budget of the Social Com- mittee will be considered after the constitutional revision. It is felt, however, that the committee should keep more accurate records of what was done in the past to serve as a budget control. Finally, the Social Committee needs a bigger bulletin board in Taylor and would like to use some of the space allotted to Interfaith. Educational Goals Group Favors Curriculum Committee and the ad hoc Educational Goals Com- mittee have combined for the pur- pose of writing a report on Bryn Mawr as an academic institution and as a way of life. Last Wednesday, they: heard re- ports from six subcommittees they had set up to deal with six dif- ferent areas which need improve- ment in the college. Mhey are now beginning to refine these reports and to seek student opinion on the - views presented by them. The. six areas are .com- munications, academic organi- zation,-advising and counseling, physical facilities, relations with the undergraduates and the gradu- ates of Bryn Mawr and of other institutions, and college organi- zation. These were determined on the basis of having been much dis- cussed at the Educational Goals series last month. The college organization sub- committee based its suggestions on the second section in the two- part article by D.E. Bresler in the NEWS last month, He had said that Bryn Mawr would do well to adopt a tri-partite system of government, with the faculty, ad- ministration and students having an equal say in most college de- cisions. The subcommittee went on to dis- tinguish several areas in which the students should have complete control. These included decisions on the nature-and number of meet- ings, speakers, or social events to be held in the dorms. This should be entirely a matter of majority vote within the dorm, they thought. Finally, they asked that as a general trend to simplify student organizations, Undergrad should be abolished. Their reasoning is that financial matters:could be handled by the Common Treasurer and an ad hoc budget committee which would éxist only as long as it takes to write the budget. The other activities of Under- grad could be absorbed*by College Council, informal meetings of the heads of the Big Six, if necessary, and the all-campus meeting sug- gested by the communications sub- committee. The publicity-giving Collection, Abolition of Undergrad value of Undergrad could be taken care of by the NEWS, and by better reporting to the dorms by the reps to the Big Six. The subcommittee on communi- cations suggested two major re- visions which, if instituted, would greatly increase the amount of communication among students, faculty and administration at Bryn Mawr. First they suggested that one afternoon a week be left un- scheduled. This idea of not having classes one time during the week is and has been working at other girls’ schools. During this time, they see a once-a-month all-— campus meeting, which should be required, possibly only at first. This meeting would be for re- ports from heads of faculty or (Continued on page 4) College Considers Establishing ‘Co-op’ Dormitory on Campus Possibilities for setting up a cooperative house for Bryn Mawr students -- a house whose resi- dents would share labor and ex- penses for meals but would be provided by the college with other utilities -- will be explored if interest in such a project is suf- ficient, as several Merion resi- dents found in discussing the idea with Dean Marshall last week, ‘Winter’s Tale’ Set for Weekend (‘Fishwife it, sweetie, fishwife it!’) by Marcia Ringel Halloween night, A round chalk moon is scrawled on the slate sky. A more appropriate moon, orange, sits in the pale green backdrop of ‘‘The Winter’s Tale,” to be performed here this week- end by the BMC-Haverford 8:30 P.M. in Goodhart this weekend.

The bunch, remarkably, sleeps on, de- spite that din ‘‘which presses him from sleep,?? But it is a colorful din. Someone who happened to mention Chagall to Mr, Butman inspired this pro- duction’s motif, a ‘‘feeling of earthiness and _ spirituality merged’’ that works of Shake- speare and Chagall share, Ben Jonson, Mr, Butman has pointed out, criticized Shakespeare for having set a seacoast in Bohe- mia, which has none; but the setting of ‘‘The Winter’s Tale?’ is, Mr, Butman rebutted, a land that jumps your imagination into a reality outside of geography and history, Tuesday.

Storming the Towers A month ago we wouldn’t have hesitated to predict that the Educational Goals enthusiasm would last for one brief shining moment -- that all the gripes and proposals would disappear harmoniously into the over- whelming Bryn Mawr status quo, But observe this week’s front page story, and rejoice that the Educational Goals Committee isn’t about to lose the name of action, ¥ .Granted some of the proposals sound beyond the realm of possibility, both in respect to finances and the present power structures, A new student union, abolition of Undergrad, mandatory monthly collection, student labor unions ,.,. these suggestions aren’t in the category of a student calendar committee, But the Goals Committee is perfectly aware of its idealistic tendencies; the purpose of the proposals, in fact, was to make suggestions REGARDLESS of their current practicality, And since the Educational Goals atmosphere is calling for more flexi- bility, it is safe enough to suppose that these proposals, derived from what the seminar audiences seemed to want, may soon be the serious objectives of working committees, We have heard the complaint that the Educational Goals Committee is getting out of hand, is assuming more power than a subcommittee of one of the Big Six organizations warrants, But we feel that this imaginative committee should be allowed as muchfree rein as possible, influential gadfly that it is, To curtail the activities of the committee -- which now consist mainly of offering evaluations and proposals. to fhe campus -- night be to stifle one of few springs of community creativity at Bryn Mawr, We look forward to the Educational GoalsCommittee reports as a source of genuine movement on this campus, The Wages of Saga... Saga’s attempt to use as many student waitresses as possible without jeopardizing the jobs of the maids is a worthwhile one, but to do so,- the food service will have to realize that the combination of time. and wages involved are not especially appealing to the job- seekers on campus, A Saga official notes that about 40% of the girls in Erdman waitress, but in the older dorms, where the figures are hardly that high, there is also a lesser degree of efficiency in the kitchens, so,that the job is painfully more time-consuming, For ex- ample, the waitress in Rhoads waits for her own dishes to go through the washer and then resets the tables at her station, while the Erdman waitress dumps her dirty dishes in the kitchen and resets her table immediately with a second set of dishes, Both are paid $1.50 per meal. Student waitresses received $1.50 per meal last year, too, but in its efforts to please, Saga has created more work for the same wages, Waitresses must make extra trips to the kitchen for ice cream, or put out placemats, and such details, trivial though they sound, add many extra minutes to the task, Waitressing a meal should take no longer than an hour and a quar- ter, says Saga. In Erdman, perhaps so, But elsewhere the job stretches well beyond this limit, even up to two hours, depending on how long one has to wait in line for the dishwasher or how many times one has to make an ice cream run, The girl involved rdly walk out when her hour and a quarter is up, because the kitchen systems in many cases are chaotic enough, All they need is a student waitress strike, We suggest. that Saga completely review its wage scale, Since some older dorms, which had student waitresses in past years, have lost many regulars to Erdman, it might be wise to increase the wages else- where so that the pay matches the effort demanded, Or perhaps the student should be paid overtime if she works over the hour anda “quarter, A primary reason for wanting more student waitresses is that the regular help is accustomed to a certain pattern of waitressing that they are not likely to change, It would be much faster, for example, if waitresses in the older dorms coulddeposit their dishes to be washed ‘and leave, then have the waitresses for the next meal set up the tables, " But no, it is tradition or something that everyone wait in line to use the dishwasher, . If there were all stude oes the system would be easier to change, and the wages’ would be proportionate to the time, But if the wages are not hiked in the meantime--until enough students are attracted to the job--the plans for an all-student waitressing system are hopeless, Friday, November 4, 1966 applebee « and the leaves go ... comings and goings of homecomings... thanksgivings and goings home (turkeytide) ... lookings forward to cookings ... where do the leaves go when they go? their color is splashed onto a thousand places and kept by snow ... now is the limbo time, i like it ... more squirrels than hondas these days, and that’s saying something ,.. they putt at about the same rate, too ... maybe all those leaves keep the squirrels busy, they read the leaves’ veins predicting a long siege anda cold hard winter (makes *em feel better about having stored all those hazelnuts) ,,, have done private research and _ found ‘tacorn’? to be derived from corn + alpha privative, meaning ‘‘not at all corn, it tastes perfectly horrible’? ... whoso would eat an acorn must be a nonconformist, i think abraham lincoln said that e+» i received my draft notice, it says ‘‘your home will soon be sub-zero, the winds are import- ing themselves, you’d better move” ,.. maybe one of those lovely turrets on the library roof, they’ve always appealed to me, a living room in neo-gothic ... last year i took up residence in a tree near the infirmary but they heard me sneeze, captured me, and pinioned me to a bed for six months ... even put my beak in a cast ... this year i’m no- body’s fool, i’ll go to m. carey thomas where the action is, indeed i’ll watch the leaves pass withfly- ing colors. ruddily, applebee Letters to the Editor Button, Button To the Editor: There seems to be a massive amount of confusion on campus in regards ta a mimeographed sheet selling buttons by an organization called the Subterranean Organi- zation of Buttons. based in Haver- ford’s Barclay Hall. I suppose I could be considered a kind of business partner in the organization, and for that reason my name is on the sheet. Through rather indirect means, Mrs. Mar- shall, Dean of the College, acquired a copy and found the list ‘‘obscene’? and ‘‘pornographic.’’ She called me into her office Tuesday morning. Her first reaction was that my name had been put on the sheet unbeknownst to me by some malicious Haverford boy. When it became obvious that I was involved of my own free will, the word ‘discredit’? began to hang heavy in the air. I should be more care- ful about what I allowed my name to get mixed up in. And since some copies had gotten off cam- pus, there was the question of the honor of not only myself, but of the entire college. I have two points to make clear. One, I don’t consider my honor tarnished in the slightest. Just because my name is on the sheet does NOT imply that I agree with, sanction, or even understand the Slogans on the buttons. To say that it does imply that is the same as saying that just because Mer- ion Hall subscribes to ‘‘ Playboy’? it means that all 60 girls believe in Hefner’s philosophy of life. Secondly, if there is any ques- tion at all of discredit, I don’t think it is the administration’s pre- rogative to bring it up. Bryn Mawr is run with an Honor System, in- cluding a Discredit Clause, which is supposed to be governed by the Food Service Hopes to All-Student Waitressing System ., Saga wants kids on its. side, Not only do the Saga men want to serve what girls.want to eat, but they are eager to get as many Student waitressing, according Bill Martin, head of the food ser ice, has always been favored by the college; understandably enough, the administration would like to provide jobs and financial aid for as many girls as possible, In general, Saga also prefers student waitresses: the food serv- people as possible into the 77 ice managers would like to know the girls better, from a professional point of view-.- to serve them better--and also as friends, Possibly prompted by the results of the survey last week, Mr, Martin added only half facetiously that ‘‘if the kids are involved and they know we’re trying, they’re less likely to com- Plain,*? In addition, he felt that girls who might be shy with a maid about taking advantage of Saga’s ae shal Led But — Com Hu 5 iudent seeiiemenns master Har lnadck ob rar Cowm-second- Acsseat- subsniuken 7 Te proof will Clovieusly) be im Hu lecerram.-. student’s.Self-Gov organization.

Kit Bakke, ’68 More NEWS To the Editor: One item of cooperation between Haverford and BMC is the system Ps which now exists providing for the distribution of each college’s newspapers to the other campus, Unfortunately (some would say), the ‘‘balance of papers’’ is some- what unbalanced -- the Haver- ford News provides 600 copies per issue to BMC, where BMC reciprocates with only 100, Ex- planations concerning the gener- osity of the Haverford News, the reading ability of Haverford students, or the quality of one newspaper vs, the other are in- teresting but peripheral to my point here, What I am proposing, then, is that THE COLLEGE NEWS begin to distribute a more equitable number of papers at Haverford, For one reason or another, there seems to be enough of a demand -at Haverford to justify this in- crease, Chris Jackson Haverford, ’68 The COLLEGE NEWS will withhold signatures to letters, but only if the editor knows the petusidid of the writer. Institute specials, like ice cream as an alternative or additional dessert, would have less compunction about asking another student, He noted that he buys twice as much ice cream for student-waitressed Erdman than he does _ for Pembroke, which is the same size with mixed waitresses, Saga is now actively trying to enlist student waitresses all over campus, Some dorms, like Erd¢ man, now have exclusively student waitresses (40% of the Erdman girls waitress), while others, like Pembroke, are moving in the direction, As yét there has been little change in Rhoads, Mr, Martin emphasized that a switch to students would in no way en- danger the positions of the maids, On the lighter side, he declared that student waitressing should be fun, ‘‘There should be smiling in the kitchen,” Mr. Martin said beatifically. The waitresses’ table might have a little better food, maybe something special that the other tables don’t get, also the privilege of having if they wanted some of the leftovers from the previous meal (chicken, dessert, etc,), Perhaps even more important, Mr, Martin felt that waitressing could and should be arranged so as to take a maximum of an hour and’a quarter, which is what it takes now in Erdman, Thus the wage, $1.50 a meal, which Mr, Martin freely admitted was too low for two hours of hard work, would become quite reason- able, The food service does not plan to raise the rate but if with ‘student waitresses a meal takes longer than the specified hour and a quarter, the students have every right to complain and Mr, Martin pledges to remedy the situation, omen THE CCLLEGE Page Three Sedeieidedikotid tie ten A Miavtgrr Page Four.

For instance, the calendar decision could have been announced to the students through this kind of meeting. Th was some feeling that the meeting should be handled like a press conference, where people could ask for progress reports and explanations for things that now never get publicized. Secondly, they suggested that all class business take place at class meetings held during lunch. Once a month each class would eat to- gether in one dining room and con- duct any necessary class business.

The subcommittee on academics covered a broad range of topics from. the hygiene requirement to the honors system of writing papers to. self-scheduled exams to large classes. They favored abolition of the hygiene requirement, but there was some doubt as to whether or -not there was a state law demanding its existence. They asked for an investigation of the method each department uses to select its honor students.

Forum on Montgomery Avenue near the Haverford Hotel, ea Testifies Before Pa. Legislature by Kit Bakke As a member of Pennsylvania’s State Board of Education, Miss Mc- Bride was asked to be in charge of a subcommittee which was ordered by. the 1963 Legislature to submit a Master Plan forHigher Education in Pennsylvania, After contracting with four out- side investigating groups, includ- ing the Academy for Educational Development of New York and Den- ver, the group published a pro- gress report last July. Since then, the committee and the report have been ‘‘roundly criticized by private and public colleges alike.?’ Wednesday, October 19, Miss McBride was asked to testify be- fore the House Higher Education Committee. Rep. James Gallagher;* Demo-Bucks County, is a chair- man of this committee. He first intended to subpeona Miss Mc- Bride, but then changed it to an *¢invitation to appear.’? Miss McBride said that: there port is being criticized not only for its contents, but also for the method the subcommittee used in writing it. Dr. Eric Walker, Presi- dent of Pennsylvania State Uni- versity, claims that the report was formulated too quickly, with- our proper time for full investi- gation. He also thinks itwas amis- take to turn over the investigation to outside groups. ‘‘When the job was turned over to outside experts, they immediately tried to draw parallels between Pennsylvania’s problems and the problems of Ohio, California, New York and Mis- souri.’?? He’ apparently sees none of the parallels himself. Walker has gone onto listfurther objections to the present report: it does not cover graduate ed- ucation; it does not give proper consideration to the state’s pri- vate colleges, anditassumes every student should go to college in his own geographical area, Pennsylvania newspapers have been giving excellent coverage to the Critics of the report, but ac- cording to Miss McBride, have neglected to mention not only that many people are satisfied with it, but that part of the Master Plan is already in effect. She points to the expanding com- munity college program, the commonwealth system of higher education (which includes com- munity colleges, state colleges and Mrs. Hanson’s Manet Exhibit Opens This Month at Museum The largest show of the works of Edouard Manet ever to be as- sembled in the U.S, has opened at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The opening of the exhibition marks the end of several months of in- tensive work by Assistant Pro- fessor Anne Coffin Hanson of Bryn Mawr’s History of Art Department, who wrote the catalog for the show. Only two other Manet shows have ever been larger than this one: the auction show following Manet’s death, anid a centenary exhibition in the Louvre in 1932. One hundred ninety-four works have been loaned for the show,- including paintings, watercolors, pastels, drawings and prints. Mrs. Hanson’s catalog lists 75 lenders, including private col- lectors, museums from Baltimore to Melbourne, and five colleges and universities including Bryn Mawr. Bryn Mawr has donated two etch- ings: one, ‘an early copy of a Velasquez painting, ‘‘The Little Cavaliers’? and other a portrait of Felix Braquemond from the frontispiece of a book. Carole Slatkin, Bryn Mawr ’66, has lent a pencil drawing which was a preliminary sketch for a paint- ing of a tavern. The catalog. which Mrs. Han- son has compiled includes black (Continued on page 7) the three _ state-related institu- tions), and the scholarship pro- gram (which is now $17 million a year, $20,000 of which is used by students at Bryn Mawr) as areas Where the Master Plan is already being implemented. Miss McBride explained all this to the Legislature last week. She stated that one can never ex- pect to get a Master Plan with- out a lot of controversy, because every institution has its own in- terests, and is going to want all the best for itself, Besides the criticism that the subcommittee did not work long enough on the proposal (acriticism which Miss McBride rejects as ridiculous), the other point of con- cern is the amount of aid being proposed to private colleges over public universities. The Master Plan. states, ‘‘The Commonwealth will have to in- vest a sizable portion of its wealth in higher education. It can obviously make a significant investment in only a limited number of institu- tions, and it should, therefore, in- vest its money principally in those institutions ‘which are committed to the general public interest and are subject to the controls which are necessary for astate system.’’ According to a September 18 ‘¢Bulletin” editorial, the Phila- delphia Commission on. Higher Education has condemned this policy and has called it ‘shabby, treatment?’ for the private col- leges. The ‘Bulletin’? however, agreed with the Master Plan, and pointed out that the virtue of pri- vate colleges is that they ARE private and independent, and can Administration do whatever they want with the money they can raise. The genera: assumption seems to be that state money would imply state control, and this is the way it has always» worked in the past, The Master Plan does not, how- ever, entirely ignore private institutions. It suggests one-third subsidies for doctoral candidates, state construction grants, scholar- ships and, fellowships for pros- pective college teachers, Some of the differences over the Master Plan seem to fall along, . party lines, with the Democrats being: more critical and the Re- publicans being more favorable to it, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Milton Shapp accused it of not going far enough to meet future needs, and of being adopted too hastily. Governor Scranton and the. Republican gubernatorial candidate Raymond Shafer, on the other hand, have endorsed the plan, It_is_scheduled to.come up before the 1967 Legislature for final debate and voting. , Oak. x 7 Deanery All students, _ not only seniors, are invited to dine at the Deanery any Friday evening.

Miss Vermey intends to request Curriculum Committee to submit a ‘study committee’’ to suggest and evaluate the various criteria, for readmission to the college, In a recent issue of the NEWS, Miss Vermey and Mrs, Marshall stated that the basic requirements for readmission are a high level of academic work in the indepen- dent - year of study (i.e. an A-B average) and some kind of medical assurance, if the student left Bryn Mawr for medical or -Mr. Bachrach of the Bryn Mawr Political Science De- partment will lead a discus- sion on ‘:Student Radicalism and the Movement’”’ Sunday, November 6, at 3:00 p.m. in the Rock living room.

Pueri SAC to Sponsor Vigil for Vietnam At Bank in Ville The Social Action Committees of Bryn Mawr and Haverford will sponsor a vigil for peace in Viet- nam Saturday, November 5, at 4 p.m,—in_front_of the Bryn. Mawr Trust on Lancaster Avenue. The use of the sidewalk has been ap- proved by the local police. The vigil will be part of a na- tional movement called the Pro- gram for Mobilization, This pro- gram will be carried over No- ‘vember 5-8 as a last stand for peace and peace candidates be- fore the election. Participants in the vigil are asked to bring signs which will express their own feelings about the war. The vigil will last an hour, but all are welcome to stand as long as they wish. SAC hopes the vigil will be an effective way of expressing con- cern about the war in a solemn tone which the community will respect, There will also be a demon- stration in Philadelphia on the morning of November 5, begin- ning at 11;30 at City Hall. Stu- dents and faculty from Temple, Penn, Swarthmore, and other col- leges, as well as members of various organizations, such as Women’s Strike for Peace, SNCC, and the Committee For Non-Vio- lent Action, will join this rally. The three peace candidates from this area will speak. Other activities have been planned in conjunction with the Program for Mobilization. Tem- ple will sponsor a day of films on November 7. Films will be stiown “all day and Will include documentaries on Vietnam, aSNCC production, and a film about a German concentration camp among others.

Admission to the concert is free, Colgate Operates Calendar System Under 4-1-4 Plan One of the most intriguing as- pects of calendar revision is the so-called January plan, This has been alternatively called the Col- gate or Glickman plan, the former because Colgate has adopted it, and the latter because Mr, Glickman of the Haverford Political Science Department of- fered his conception of it to Bryn Mawr and Haverford stu- dents twf years ago. The purpose of a January plan is to introduce some intellectual freedom, life and creativity into the usually dead month of Jan- dary, This..is done. by. fin- ishing first semester before - Christmas vacation, and then not starting second semester until February. Paul Weckstein, a Haverford transfer from Colgate, has pro- posed this calendar: Classes begin: Sept, 12 Thanksgiving: Nov, 23-7 Christmas: Dec, 28 - Jan, 3 Intercession: Jan, 28 - Feb, 1 Spring vacation: March 24 - April 12 Exams end: May 13 ~ This not only allows for the Jan- uary plan, but also provides for practically the same number of schooldays, The creativity and freedom comes with independent work of some kind, There are several systems that could be adopted, but basically it would entail each student working with a professor on a project or papar of his choice, Bachrach Offers Solution To Overcrowded Classes Mr, Bachrach of the Political Science Department has found one solution to the crowded classes problem that is presently .annoy- ing both students and faculty members, His Constitutional. Law Class has about 40 members, He con- siders this far too large’ for his purposes, It is a ‘‘nigh level class, but just too large,’’? ne said, Up to this point the class has been considering the recent Supreme Court decisions which have been revolutionizing the area of crim- inal justice, So now he has sent half the class out into the field in five groups of three or four students, They are doing research at -Penn’s baw. Library, and. then spending time in Philadelphia courtrooms, district attorneys’ offices, and.police stations, learn- ing the exact nature of the impact of the Supreme Court decisions, Each of the five groups is working on a specific topic- forcement _ practices, by Janet Oppenheim On Monday night, October 31, a small number of Bryn Mawr. students. and faculty members heard two alarming predictions: that within ten years members of the clergy would be abandoning their calling in droves, and that the racial inequities of our society could only be solved by machine guns and concentration camps for Negroes. The grim, realistic speaker was the Reverend Layton Zimmer, and his address, entitled ‘‘God Bless Slums and Police Brutality,’ was sponsored by the Alliance for Political Affairs and the Inter- faith Association. Behind his lengthy title of ‘‘Urban Missioner of the Protestant Episcopal Church and Special Con- sultant to the Bishop on Areas of Social Tension’’ lies the Reverend’s demanding, frustrating, im- possible job. Dealing with ‘gangs, junkies, pros- titutes,’? the poor and discriminated against of North and South Philadelphia, Mr. Zimmer must try to arouse the white community, must attempt to open communications between haves and have- nots, between whites and blacks. So far, he feels he has accumplished nothing. He describes his task as a ‘‘bridge-building job with both shores moving further apart.’’ To his despair, both shores are building obstructions agains< any means of spanning the gap. * Reverend Zimmer was a parish priest for ten years in Wilmington, Delaware, and then inSwarth- more before starting his job two years ago under the new bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Penn- sylvania. His job, which he terms ‘‘experimental,”’ brings him into the lives of have-nots as. friend and sympathizer. He participates as a protester in picket lines and serves as a minister for many who have had no contacts with the church. He must bury a child, killed by the falling ceiling of a slum tene- ment. He must perform the marriage ceremony for the unwed parents of four or five children. He can bring no promises or program money with him. Less than 50% of his expenses are paid by the diocese. His job runs on money from the bis- hop’s discretionary funds. White power is, according to the Reverend, the dominant factor in the western world, if not in the whole world, behind racial injustice. He knows it is the factor which allowed him to reach his present position. Mr. Zimmer attended the University of William and Mary when it was closed to Negroes and then entered an Episcopal Seminary which had separate and terribly unequal facilities for them. When he left his position of curate in Wilmington, a Negro was allowed to replace him only with the unequivocal stipulation that his term of office last just one year. Clearly, the Church does not offer a solution to the problems of dis- crimination and prejudice. This failure by the Church brought Mr. Zimmer to his prophecy for the fate of clergymen. Today, he finds them-a group of ‘‘defensive, demoralized, hostile, morally stricken’? men. They are com- mitted to an ideal which has not, in the words of Stokely Carmichael, ‘‘been able to deal with the blasphemy that the poor deserve what they get.’’ Yet to break from the meaningless ideals would mean to break from security, respectability. Cler- gymen hear their WASP congregations object to spending tax money on slum improvement. Opposi- tion to the community stand would mean loss of popularity for the clergyman, and loss of any com- munity influence. Many members of the clergy ,really fear that God is dead, but are compelled to use His name daily. They abhor the ambiva- lence of their position, are frightened by the col- such as the relationship between civil rights and treatment of ju- venile offenders, the way the test for insanity works out in practice, and generally the way the law enforcement business has reacted to the Court’s decisions, The first half of the class will return in three weeks to give oral and written reports of -their findings, Meanwhile the second half. of the class’will have been learning about the definitions and compliéations of free speech in American jurisprudence, After a few joint sessions, the second half will go into the field to re- search the ways in_ which Court decisions on free speech have affected Philadelphia law en- They will center on criminal libel, ob- scenity and the right of demonstration, This will solve the problem until December, said Mr, Bach- rach, ‘‘and by then the sem- ester is almost over anyway.” ‘Friday. : * For Performance in November Concentration Camps for Negroes lapse of their supports, and will, in Mr. Zim- mer’s belief, reach the breaking point within the next ten years. We cannot count on the Church, then, for re- lease from our tremendous problems. Nor does Mr. Zimmer think the answer lies in political structures. He emphasized that the bridgebuild- ing must start with us, At the same time, however, the basic problem originates in ourselves. Most of us want to keep doors shut to black people, the Reverend said. The black man knows how much the white man despises him, and the white man does not. We do not realize that we are involved in an attitude that allows us to be something which we would vehemently deny to be. Mr. Zimmer is convinced that civil rights bills are passed, projects are undertaken, not out of the whites’ fear of black riots. After all, as President Jéhnson said, whites form 90% of the population of the United States. No programs of social re- form are undertaken in order to keep the white man from coming face to face with his own atti- tude. Is there any validity, therefore, in projects and programs? Reverend Zimmer says emphati- cally no. Perhaps they bring some limited material profit, but that profit ends with the program, when the participants go back to their hell, What is worse, the participants have been allowed to see, no matter how briefly, some aspect of that life which they will never be able to attain. The result- ing bitterness and frustration has led many Negroes to accept help only from blacks. They feel cer- tain that whites give gifts only to manipulate the blacks in some way. The meaning of Black Power lies in this rejec- tion of the white man’s aid. For the average Negro, hope for life in an integrated community is dead, They don’t want to waste their time in hating and fighting the whites. They want to take what is their due and just leave. Mr. Zimmer is not afraid that the Negro will topple white society, but he is desperately afraid that the Negro will give that society the opportunity to use the evil within it, It is this evil that could lead to the construc- tion of concentration camps for Negroes.and the placement of machine guns in the streets by police forces. The Reverend believes that we are little more than one breath away from that state now. Is there any hope at all for future integration; for a harmonious, balanced black-white society? If separation of the two peoples is not only sin, but death, as Mr. Zimmer believes it to be, aren’t we faced with sin and death on both sides? Why, if he feels. that the Church is useless in the, struggle, does the Reverend continue to serve it? How can he say, ‘‘If I only hoped in man, I would » go home and kill myself,’’ and still maintain his: efforts? ‘ He answers that he enjoys the battle, that he enjoys challenging the terrifying situation with his own abilities. He must do what he can, and he did when he removed his daughter from a private school because he considered private education a separating factor in society. His daughter now at- tends a public school with 90% Negro students. Not just isolated individuals, but everyone must do what lies within his abilities. Above all, we must not sit at home and merely worry over the state of affairs. Whatever hope can be found in the Reverend’s message, and there was precious little, must be found in his refusal to accept the situation as it now stands, and in his search to open channels of contact in an almost totally. un- communicating society.

In a series of interviews, the faculty response to this proposal was varied. Mr, Dudden, a History pro- fessor, and one of the two faculty members on the Calendar Com- mittee, claimed that the issue of student. representation involves more’ than the calendar, He felt the whole question of a student share in the government of college affairs should be considered, Mr, Dudden said he would be in favor of a movement in the direction of more student partici- pation in the college community, Students. have good ideas now from which the faculty doesn’t benefit, Many of these ideas could be used in solving practical problems, Mr, Dudden hoped that graduate students as well asallfour classes of undergraduates would join stu- dent committees which would take positions “on college policy, Thus a broad and continuous base for, student interest in college affairs could be created, Mr. Berliner, a chemistry pro- fessor and a member of the Calendar: Committee, thought that the calendar is a college and a faculty affair. It involves issues like financial matters, research time, and cooperation with Haver- ford which are not student con- cerns. Mr. Berliner said he was will- ing to listen to student opinion. Yet he felt there was no coherent opinion on issues such as the ‘‘lanie duck’? period. He thought that there was no ideal calendar which would satisfy everyone. Mr. Berliner was opposed to having a voting student member on the Caiendar : Committee, He did not approve of anon-voting, listen- ing representative either. He felt the faculty committee might meet occasionally with a separate committee of students to hear their opinions. GORDON LIGHTFOOT & LENI - Comedy - Nov. 4, 5, 6 $1. HOOT Thurs.

Lancaster Ave. Ardmore MI 2-0764 Largest Selection Folk Music Pop: Classics Jazz Miss de Graaf of the Russian Department felt students should be represented on the committee, since they are as concerned with the calendar as the faculty. Stu- dents on the committee would have a chance to make their views known. However, Miss de Graaf felt that the faculty should have veto power over the decisions of the com- mittee, while the student body should not, The calendar affects the amount of time faculty can spend on research during the summer and has a direct influence on their job during the year. Miss Lang of the Greek Depart- ment thought that student repre- sentation on the Calendar Com- mittee was a good idea. She said the calendar is something with which the whole Bryn Mawr com-- munity has to live. The stu- dents and the faculty often have opposite views on the cal- endar, and each ought to know theother’s .position. The faculty wants a short year with long sum- mer vacations. The students like to spread out the year with more review periods and longer va- cations. Miss Lang did not support stu- dent help in making promotions and appointments, since students do not- have the necessary back- ground for such a responsibility. Yet she felt that student parti- cipation on the Calendar Commit- tee makes sense and provides a healthy opportunity for cooperation On Student Calendar Committee between Bryn Mawr faculty and students. Mrs, Ridgway, chairman of the Archaeology Department, pointed out that there has been much disagreement about the calendar in faculty meetings. She guessed that the same disagreement exists in the student body, and that it would be hard to find a student to represent campus opinion. However, she felt that if stu- dents were involved in decision- making on the Calendar Com- mittee, they would feel bound by the cal2ndar, If the students help- ed to set up a reading period during the month of January, they would appreciate and make use of it. Students on the faculty commit- tee might also bring up new ideas. For example, some students at one time sent around a petition pro- posing that Thanksgiving vacation begin at 12:15 p.m. on Wednesday instead of after the last afternoon “class. This point was never pick- ed up, but if students had been on the Calenda: Committee, it might have been discussed. If students were members of the committee they might realize the problems the faculty faces in plan- ning the academic year. They might see that faculty decisions are not just arbitrary. Mrs, Ridgway concluded that the more responsibility students re- ceive the. better, as long as they can handle it. PHILADELPHIA U, OF P.

For the first 30 ofr 40 years the Court was concerned with interstate commerce and de- fining federalism, Then the slavery issue was paramount, In the 1880’s there was a whole series of cases dealing with social legislation, The Court struck down hours laws, child labor laws, and minimum wage laws, all in the name of private property. Douglas said this created in the United States a real Karl Marx kind of capitalism. This was the era of the great Holmes dissents, We are now in the fourth period, This is the age of civil rights, by which he means not only racial situations, but also criminal rights, the rights of religious min- orities, and the right of each voter to have his vote equal tq everyone else’s vote, Douglas sees the Court as trying to halt the present trend of increasing governmental strength at the ex- pense of the individual citizen, He then described an issue dur- ing the Eisenhower adminis- tration when a mere charge of subversion, without substantia- tion, was grounds for dismissal from a government job. In one case, a man was fired for being caught reading the ‘*‘New Re- public,’’ Although he admits things aren’t this bad today, he does think there is a serious problem of govern- ment advisors who are afraid to speak the truth regarding ex- isting U.S. policies, because they think they. may lose their jobs, Supreme Court advocates are usually somewhat defensive about the-existence of an appointed elite wielding such ‘great power in a democratic society, True to form, Douglas kept reiterating that the people, not the Court, have the real final say. He gave the in- come tax and the enfran- chisement of women as ex- amples, Both these were issues in which Constitutional amend- ments were made, overruling Supreme Court decisions, In the discussion session, many of the questions were directed toward the legality of the Vietnam war, since it is being carried on without explicit Congressional approval in the form of a dec- laration of war, Douglas re- frained from answering these, because he said he didn’t want to have to disqualify himself when an actual case on this matter came to the Court’s- attention. ‘into the team. : as t.

It’s simply that the idea of Chagall, which came up quite by chance, gave us a clue to costume and color, which is always useful in holding a pro- duction together, The most interesting problem, intellectually and emotionally, is the excitement of discovering what is going on in late Shakespeare. This is a work of his most mature years and in talking to the students about it I liken it to the late Beethoven quartets, late Rem- brandt sketches, and the last work of El Greco, Here we have a chance to discover subtleties so subtle that even at third reading they pass unobserved, But after working with them on the stage we find suddenly that a line of utter simplicity, completely with- out poetic adornment, comes through with a power and an hon- esty beyond Shakespeare’s ear- lier, more poetic lines, ‘*] talk about many of the speeches as being ‘slabs of emo- tion’; it is not really necessary for the audience to hear the words or understand the thoughts of the particular speech--as it is in, say, ‘‘Hamlet’’ or ‘‘Othello,”’ In ‘‘The Winter’s Tale,’’ emotion is a color played off against other colors, rather than an analysis of. the characters’ feelings, This is one reason why we wanted to set the play mainly with color rather than three-dimensional forms,”’ Mr, Butman once piled together on atable all the costume materials for ‘‘The Winter’s Tale,’”’ then opened a book of Chagall prints to the middle and laid it over them, ‘‘Everything flowed to- gether,’”’ he beamed, DRESSES THAT ACCURATELY REFLECT TODAY . . .

They suggested that the big sister-little sister system could be reinstated to supplement the wardens. They also asked that the School of Social Work be look- ed into as a possible source of qualified counseling personnel. The physical facilities commit- tee recommended the building of a real student union building, a multi-level parking lotacross from Rock and Shipley, and a lounge and coffee room in the library. The fifth subcommittee pri- marily recommended that relations between the Graduate School and the undergraduate school be in- creased, and that programs at nearby colleges be taken advantage of more than they are now.
