Undergrad Sets Up New System For Social Committee Activities A decision to revise its Con- stitution with regard to the Social Committee was voted at Monday night’s Undergrad meeting.

Officer .Leslie Charles Tihany, a Pub- lic Affairs Officer for the Depart- ment of State, Bureau of Far East- ern Affairs, will be an Alliance speaker Monday,. February 28, debating the affirmative position of the U.S, policy in Vietnam. Mr. ' Richard DuBoff, economics prof- essor at Bryn Mawr, will debate the negative. Then on Tuesday Mr. Tihany will repeat his arguments at Haverford against Mr. Josiah Leslie Tihany College Theatre Begins Work On Thomas Play UNDER MILKWOOD by Dylan Thomas has been chosen as Col- lege Theatre’s next production. Tryouts were held over the last two. weeks and a cast of about 22 was chosen. Rehearsals are con- tinuing every night, Monday through Friday until the weekend of the performance, March 18-19, UNDER MILKWOOD is a play about people in a small Welsh town. In Sonfe ways it is very dif- ferent from anything College Thea- tre has worked on before. The play deals with the lives and feel- ings of ‘‘little people.’’ There are no major parts; in- stead there is 4 series of charac- ters, who appear briefly on stage, interact, and go on their separate ways. As a result of the constantly shifting and open nature of the play in whith characters wander in and out related only by their reactions to each other, and the roles of First and Second Voice, specific parts are not being as- signed until a week or two before the performance. Roles will be rotated among the cast. Each member will thus gain an insight into the thoughts and desires of all the characters and see .how together they make up one play, one town, and one _ of life. . duction of UNDER MI At the first rehearsal, last Sun- day night, February 20,*Bob But- man, the director, in an introduc- tory talk, tried to give the cast some feeling for Thomas, After- wards, the cast sat in a circle on stools and read the play, taking parts as they came, over a back- ground of Thomas reading his poetry on record and Fern Hunt playing the piano. Each member of the cast will eventually take on several roles, since there are 68 characters altogether. Accord- ing to Lance Jackson, working on sets, there are many new partici- pants in this production who will add fresh outlooks to the play. He hopes all the members will come to express their own interpreta- tions of their parts. Lance says that he wants to make the sets a support for the play, yet very simple: like a skeleton to which the characters will bring life. It may even consist of a pile of lumber and a few braces, Finally, Lance hopes. the pro- WOOD will be a learning experience for the cast, not just a performance for an audience, He hdpe's each actor * —-will-react to the others in a‘spon= ~~ taneous and open way, as do the | people in the glimpse of life. Thomas has created, “ee Thompson, philosophy “professor at Haverford, Both Mr. DuBoff and Mr. Thomp- son are known in the Main Line- Philadelphia area for their views questioning U.S, policy. Both have spoken on the issue before and have participated in discussions and marches protesting the policy. Mr. Tihany was born inHungary and became anaturalized U.S, citi- zen in 1940. He has degrees from Franklin and Marshall and North- western University..He received his Ph. D. from the University of Chicago in 1943, He has worked for the foreign-service in Beirut, Bombay, Salzburg and Saigon. He was also aF rederick Sheldon prize fellow at Harvard 1938 -39, 1939- 40. He Has taught at the University of Chicago, Harvard, University of Denver, Northwestern Univer- sity and American University. The debate will begin at 7:30 in the Common Room, Alliance president Edna Perkins has announced that Mr. Tihany will be having dinner before the debate in Denbigh. Recently Elecied WWC Secretary To Speak Here Eugene Carson Blake, elected two weeks ago as general secre- tary of the World Council of Churches, and a leading figure in the Council’s deliberation of the question of church unity, will speak on ‘*Why Church Union is Important’? at a lecture sponsored by Interfaith Wednesday, March 16, at 7:30 p.m, in Goodhart. Mr. Blake has been stated clerk of the General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church of the U.S, sirice 1958, and was presi- dent of the National Council of Churches during 1954-7, He has led a group of American church- men visiting Russian Orthodox leaders in 1965, and is sponsoring the ‘*Confession of 1967,’”? a re- statement of faith now before the World Council, demonstrating his interest in increased communica- tions among churches, As an American representative sto the council and member of its general and executive committees, he initiated much discussion last year by submitting, with Bishop James Pike, a proposal for merg- ing of the Presbyterian, Episcopal- ian, Methodist, and several smaller denominations to form a united world Protestant church, Interfaith will also present, on “Wednésday, March 2, visiting lec- turer Stella Kramrisch in a dis- cussion of ‘‘Hindu Aspects of \An- cient Indian Art,’’ at 7:30 in the Common Room, nated group from the Social Chair- man elected by Undergrad and the dorm-elected Social Chairmen, henceforth the two will be S€parate, The campus Social Chairman will be elected as usual from the sophomore class, and she will handle the finances and policy. Her committee will then be chosen by Undergrad from a list of volun- teers, who will be responsible for specific aspects of the social committee: e.g. publicity, music, and entertainment; — invitations, correspondence ~and telephoning~ (Secretary); transportation and food; decoration and clean-up. Final vote on the wording will take place next week. Also at the meeting, the chair- men of next year’s Freshman Week committee weré=chosen.

This year Haverford sent eight students every other week to the Met, with the school providing transportation, Their suggestion was that Bryn Mawr join with Haverford in pro- viding a total of 16 places.

When asked about her par- ticular view, Kay responded, ** Actually, I don’t have one.

At least in terms of its dramatic efforts. The class of 1967 has broken the sex barrier and is casting girls in its class night play for March 4, Director Bob Sinclair has parts for 162 Bryn Mawr girls: 82 go-go dancers and 80 chorus members. Theywill be costumed by the Houses of Swarthmore and Penn in Mondrian dresses and white Courrege boots. This gala production is ‘‘ex- tremely professional and polish- ed’’ according to an involved jun- ior, Chuck Hardy. In fact, he has revealed. that. if they were not all - entrapped ®y academic responsi- bilities, the show could go on the road and be a smash almost any- where. As it is, the play will still leave lasting memories i} the minds and hearts of all ju iors, and will bind the two. clas together for the rest of their c: lege years. Although the plot is secret, th writers have consented to relea a statement concerning the gener: . tone of the production, It will be ‘witty, high camp, pop, socko, clever and clean (as of now).’? In addition it is a collage of college expressionism. The lighting is all new and weird, The music is an original art form: rock-and-roll- and-baroque. The backdrop is in- describable.

And we complain about apathy to the world OUTSIDE Bryn Mawr! We’re wondering why so many Bryn Mawrters are sitting off-in their corners ‘unwilling to stick their fingers in the pie. As a matter of unfortunate fact, five times as many people ran for the GLAMOUR contest than for most of the campus offices. Is it that people come to Bryn Mawr already apathetic, or does Bryn Mawr breed apathy’? The former can’t be true: most freshmen come here having been . officers of their student bodies or editors of their high school papers or some such, Bryn Mawr girls are admitted t6r their leadership as well as for their grades. If Bryn Mawr breeds apathy, the only excuse is that students become’ so involved in their academic work that they have no time or interest in “extracurriculars,” or that they would rather direct their extra time into the macrocosm rather than the microcosm, as the saying gues, We hesitate to accept the academic excuse because we don’t like the idea of learning to live and to lead solely out of books, And we don’t agree with the macrocosm excuse because the fundamental purpose of most of the Big Six is to relate the Bryn Mawr girl to the outside world via political affairs, the arts, religion or social work, as the case may. be, Editorials like this one tend to appear nearly every year at election time. It’s not that there aren’t any qualified people to run -- we know they’re around Bbecuuse they’re the only ones who have a right to beef when the campus organizations don’t seem active enough, But we’d rather see the names of the qualified on the ballots. and better choice‘ means. a more beneficial Bryn Mawr. Wee Hours Last weekend, Bryn Mawr was supposed to have an all-campus 3:30 for both Friday and Saturday nights in rec ognition of Haverford’s Freshman Weekend and to trv out the idea of getting the 3:30 tor both nights instead of just) on Saturday. However, Merion Hall did not participate in this experiment. Merion girls were not informed of the extended sign-out time and so assumed they had a 2:00, It was a matter of lack of communication between Self-Gov and the Merion Hall president. Self-Gov is the protector ofthe Bryn Mawr honor system and therefore has jurisdiction over matters of sign-outs, Once a week the Executive Bourd meets with the hall presidents in Advisory Council to discuss matters of interest and importance, The system is also meant to disseminate information to students through their hall officers, But last week it didn’t work. The Merion president got to the meeting late and missed the news of the double 3:30, So Merion girls had a hour and a half less of Friday night entertainment than did the rest of the campus. This is more than a complaint for the loss of an hour and a half, There is a tailing somewhere in the organization or in the personnel, Since it has happened before th: ut communications from Executive Board to students have’ broken down, the problem must be in the procedure rather than in the individuals involved, Therefore the importance of the matter is not in terms of a failure in the com- munication of a 3:30 but rather of a failure in the mechanics of how these kinds of communications are handled. The only solution is that each student pay attention to the procedure of communication or the substance of it becomes pointless, Post Haste The COLLEGE NEWS does not by policy use editorial space to air its internal trials and tribulations, In this instance, however. the problem of the newspaper is a reflectionof a discouraging and dangerous campus « attitude. The eternal dormitory lament has spread to the NEWS -- we don’t receive any letters. A college newspaper carries a.double purpose, It serves as an ob- jective reporter of campus news and as an organ of expression for campus sentiment. Opinions are launched through two channels, the editorial column and the space reserved for letters to the editor. Each week the editorial board blends its views, reaching a composite statement on current issues. There is no guarantee that this opinion matches the majority or minority consensus of students, If no direct response comes from the readers of the paper, the NEWS is prevented from fulfilling its proper function. 0 As part of the coverage of the fast, the NEWS announced its eagerness to print letters of reaction. Only two missives reached the editor -- one personally solicited from Marian Brown and the other a correction of a picture caption. The problem has all the features of the proverbial vicious circle, If Mawrters do not look to their newspaper as a mirror of college opinion, ersonal commentaries. A bigger views on a wider basis than smoker discussions, Such a forum can exist _only if students both read AND write our columns. 2 what is so common as a cold. in feb’? sneezing people weave a web of infectious dimensions -- no escape closer, closer comes your what is-so public as public health? people bemoan what fate has dealt, symptomizing, categorizing ails and ills. infirm line up for pills. fate. now see the round and red and black -- rest assured -- havertord colors are ‘‘sure to cure”? so she says and you’re on your way ~ and back again anothef day, see the infirm line up for pills. my sympathy to vou unwells. barefoot bold ones: all presump- tion, beware tomorrow brings consump= tion, tote your kleenex, snitfle, : snutffle, being ill is lots of trouble, feeling bad’? .oh my poor you. aaahhhhhhhhhhhhchoooo00000 poor me, applebee - quitum Religious Group Editor: jould like to bring to the attention of Bryn Mawr College a problenwwhich concerns me per-’ sonally and. which may have rele- vance for a number of students. I am acutely aware that there is no group. of Jewish ‘students on campus comparable tothe Catholic “DiSéission group or the Student Christian Movement. At the present time. there is no organi- zation which answers to the needs of the Jewish student: not only is there no outlet for discussion of Jewish topics, but there is no cen- tral body through which arrange- ments-can be made for the observ- ance of the Sabbath and holidays. As a result. there is little or no feeling of fellowship among Jewish students. I teel that this is lamentable, especially in light of the exper- ience which several Bryn Mawr students had this past weekend at the Twentieth Annual Hillel Collo- held at Princeton Univer- sity. Two. hundred students from the, Ivy. League and_Seven Sister schoals met at Princeton to com- bine observance. discussion, and social activity.

The administration has been forced to assert repeatedly that the hotel is NOT the Bryn Mawr Club of New York. Purchased in 1964 by Remedco. the real estate agency of religious, medical, and educational institu- tions of Morningside Heights. the hotel roused,a neighborhood battle, and ambiguous headlines. According to certain civic groups, Remedco purchased build-. ings surrounding Columbia Uni- versity to drive Negroes and Puer- to Ricans from the area, Other groups had attempted tor years to encourage city action against the hotel, which had become a nest of illegal activities, A court order granted the lease of the Bryn Mawr to Remedco in February 1965, Remedco sup- ported a program for rehabilita= tion of ‘the tenants and their re- Aocation, When the building became vacant in November, it was closed. The Bryn Mawr Hotel willeither be converted to a girls’ dormitory or torn down for construction of a new building, An architect will decide the best use of the property. Barnard is planning to incréase its present enrollment of 1,650 to 2,000 by. the aeademic year ~1971 to 1972. Additional dormitory space is neéded, and the college is anticipating its long range needs, TheBryn Mawr-Barnard fusion is au part of this expansion program, Miss Rosemary Park, President of Barnard. revealed that the col= lege expects to acquire another neighborhood apartment building this spring. New academic build- ings will also be added to the campus, Of the present student popula- tion, 730 occupy four dormitories and an apartment-like residence located nearby. About half of the remaining girls live in University- owned buildings or apartments near the campus, andhalf commute to college from home. | “clearly a man.to wat LETTERS TO THE EDITORI|. in’ Jewish Life.’’ included Mr. Arthur Cohen, editor-in-chief of Holt, Rinehart, and Winston; Dr. Marvin Bressler. Professor of Sociology at Princeton, and Dr. Ben Halpern, Associate Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Bran- deis and Harvard. Discussion cen- tered around the dilemmas of Jew- ish intellectual and the non-relig- ious Jew. For the most part, the weekend was stimulating spirituad- ly and. inteHeetualy. -as well-as-—— socially. It is my firm conviction that similar activity would be reward- ing for interested students at Bryn Mawr. A Jewish group. working as an integral part of the Interfaith Association. could serve in the following ways: 1. Make arrangements for stu- dents wishing to observe the Sab- bath and holidays, 2. Hold discussions among stu- dents, invite speakers, and co- ordinate activities with groups on other campuses, 3. Act. together with other. re- ligious groups on campus to pro- mote amore stimulating discus- sion of religious topics. I hope that the candidates run- ning for President of the Inter- faith Association will attempt to deal with this problem, and that other interested students will also express their opinions. Before In- terfaith can truly live up to its name, it must be responsive to the needs of all religious groups on campus.

B. DuBoft Economics Department Interfaith To the Editor: Fr. James Jones, originator and former head of St. Leonard’s House in Chicago and worker in that city’s. slums, was an Interfaith speaker in the Commen Room on February 14, » St. Leonard’s is a half-way house for ex-convicts, who enter it vol- untarily after they leave prison. Its major purpose is to efface the effects ofthe prison’s manipulative conditioning. The nationwide per- centage of one-timers who return to prison within three years is 75%, as compared to 25% in Eng- land, 13% in Sweden, and 7% in the Soviet Union. Among those passing through St. Leonard’s the percentage of returnees is 25%, © which seems sufficient indication of its effectiveness. Fr. Jones now feels that prison reform is hopeless in the face of‘ the fear and cruelty tending to perpetuate present conditions. He has turned his attention to combatting the political, religious, and economic factors conducive to criminality. The enlightened FE. Jonas. AS.

The paper that Mrs, Leach edited did not, as a general rule, attempt to re- port or comment on the political events agitating and animating the larger world.

Mrs. Leach herself, for example, wrote a serious review of a Fresh- man Show (as a dramatic produc- tion and asa traditional piece) even more lengthy than Mr. Schmidt’s review of this year’s Show. There was, it seems, a continuous battle being waged with College Theatre; there was certainly a vital inter- relationship between the Theatre and the NEWS. Mrs. Leach also mentioned a rivalry between the NEWS and _ the. ‘*Revue,’’ the former .attacking the latter as humorless. ‘“‘OurF generation was known as the apathetic generation,’”? said Mrs. Leach, and went on to dis- tinguish between its apathy and that which we today are continually deploring in ourselves and each other. What she described was a time when it was difficult to get a president for Alliance, when one of the more effective of those final- ly gotten could be a- philosophy major planning to go to medical school but evincing a ‘scholarly interest’’. in politics. Mrs. Leach and her classmates and we today have both had to cope with the paradox of being virtually compelled to become fairly famil- iar with people, concepts, and deal- ings that must nevertheless remain implacably strange. We are con- tinually bombarded, through a var - ious assortment of media, with ‘‘news’’ that must ultimately fail to convey to us the essence of that which it would report.

Adebo Talks on Nigeria, Asks Audience To Write DC by Dora Chizea Don’t blame me, Yes, it’s not my fault, Blame the COLLEGE NEWS, which asked me to cover the talk of Chief Adebo. Chief Adebo is thé Ambassador of Nigeria to the United Nations, He came Friday, February 18, at the invitation of the Economics Department of Bryn Mawr to give a talk on “Planning in a Changing African Economy,”’ > Let me tell you what his first main sentence was, ‘I have not come to talk diplomacy, so feel free to ask me any question,”’ Well, on my part, I retort, “I am not writing Freshman-Comp. So don’t worry about my approach!’’ When I first got intothe Common Room, and saw the number of people waiting for him, I got slight- ly confused. Yes I thought I was in a subway! However, the audience was well rewarded for its presence by the informative, candid, hu- morous talk of Chief Adebo. Chief Adebo spoke mainly about Nigeria, He said that the main problems are that the people do not really know how much material resources they have, and do not have a good soil survey so cannot tell what plants they can grow, and where they can grow them.
