Money sources to date include donated faculty honoraria and student pay checks, in addition to $10 patrons contributions, The Festival which wili cost at least $3,300, will draw leaders in the field of contempor- ary black arts, Emphasizing the importance of art in the current black revolu- ‘tion in America, the Festival will feature playwright Le Roi Jones and his Harlem drama group, Participating poets will include Larry Neal, writer for the ‘Liberator Magazine,’’ who has . recently filmed a movie of the ghettos using black producers, _ ‘black directors, black actors and black funds, Gaston Neal, a black militant poet from Washington, D, C., will also present some _ of his poems. Neal works. with the New School of Afro-American Thought in the nation’s capital which instructs ghetto children in Negro history and basic ed- ucation courses, In conjunction with Howard University, the New School provides seminars and classes for college-age students, Two additional poets will soon be chosen from the Phila- delphia area to participate in the weekend, In the field of music, the Festival will offer two jazz groups, The Kuntu Jazz Quintet from Philadelphia will provide ac- companiment for the poetry readings, : The Sun Ra Arkestra, an avantgarde group, will feature ‘*Astro-Infinity Music,’’ Extreme- ly interested in creating pro- found audience involvement, this group includes 15 musicians who each play ‘‘angry black music’?

Poet Larry Neal was par- ticularly impressed by © this enormous undertaking -when he spoke to Bryn Mawr senior: Jackie Williams, chief co-ordinator of the program, Neal indicated that when he was a student at Lincoln Uni- versity there was no Negro interest in their cultural heritage, Trying to locate accommo- dations for the guest artists, ‘the committee working on the Festival hopes that the participants will stay at Bryn Mawr all week- end and. give the _ students a chance to meet them personally, The idea for the Festival came out of the political science ‘comp conference, and the under- taking now lies largely in the hands of Bryn Mawr students, Jackie Williams, Wonza William- son, Lois Portnoy, Liz Sch- neider and Margaret Levi, At least one of the scheduled events will be presented on the Haverford campus, and both stu- dent bodies are urged to become involved in the Festival. “Right now we are trying very hard to gettheliterary groups on both campuses interested inthe project,’”?

BMC Will Not Join H’ford In Purchase Haverford College is going tobuy a new bus. The bus, which is being bought for. social-and athletic events, will also run between Haverford and Bryn Mawr to supplement runs of the old bus at hours when the bus is overcrowded. An article in last week’s Haver- ford News said that Haverford’s comptroller, Mr. Smith, hoped that Bryn Mawr would be willing to share the cost of the new bus, but that the bus would be purchased by Haverford in any case. Mrs. Whelihan, Assistant to the President, had neither read the article in the newspaper nor knew anything about any negotiations for the purchase of a new bus. Nor was Bryn Mawr’s comp- troller, Mr, Klug, aware that any negotiations were going on when he was interviewed. He stated that he was ‘‘really surprised’’ to read such statements in the Haverford ‘‘News,’”? because although he speaks with Mr. Smith quite often, of New Bus and the subject of the bus has.come up several times, he does not con- sider these talks negotiations. Mr. Klug feels that if Mr. Smith wants to-supplement the bus with a vehicle which Haverford plans to buy anyway, this is fine. He added that Bryn Mawr, however, should not be expected to share the costs of running the new bus, just as Haverford is not expected to share the cost of the Bryn Mawr station wagon just because it is occasion- ally used for transportation be- tween the two schools. Mr. Klug said in reference to his and Mr. Smith’s interests, ‘‘I stick to my business and he sticks to his busi- ness.’? He stated, ‘‘I don’t think Bryn Mawr has been less than co- operative with Haverford: up to this point.’’ Mr. Klug concluded that it is apparent from the article in the Haverford ‘‘News” that there is a great deal of misunderstanding be- tween the two schools. Nancy Miller photo by Mary Yee Hoverford’s new bus will be used to prevent crowded situations like these from continuing during peak academic hours between the two schools. : A Eugene Schneider Signs Open Letter To U.S. President Thirteen hundred Fellows and Active Members of the American Sociological Association, in- cluding Eugene Schneider, Pro- fessor of Sociology at Bryn Mawr, signed and published an open letter to President Johnson, protesting against the war in Viet- nam, The - letter, also sent to members of Congress, condemned “the conduct of the Vietnam war and its effects on our own society,”? The statement points out that the war is destroying the so- ciety which it purports’ to aid, killing civilians, and ruining crops and entire communities, The signers feel that the problems of Vietnam are social and political in character and cannot be settled by use of military force, The petition protests ‘‘the continued bombing of North Viet- nam and the killing of in- nocent---civilians in the face of evidence and testimony from many knowledgeable. individuals including our own Secretary of Defense that such bombing cannot succeed in forcing peace ne- gotiations.’”’ The letter concludes’ with an appeal to stop the bombing of North Vietnam, to attempt to negotiate for peace with all parties concerned, and _ to withdraw American forces from Vietnam in an orderly and phased manner, ‘ Approximately thirty per cent of the Association signed this let- ter, It seems that the letter was sent only to senior members of the Association, This would perhaps explain the small per- centage of participation and the lack of certain names among the signers, The NEWS. contacted Mrs, Porter, lecturer in sociology at Bryn Mawr, who, since she is a graduate student member, did not receive the letter, Be- cause most of the members of the sociology departments of Bryn Mawr and Haverford are also student members, she as- sumed that the absence of their names was a_ result of their standing in the Associa- tion, She felt that this had perhaps been done in order to include only those who are actual- ly registered as college pro- fessors, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the petition, The creation of the letter originated at a conference of the American Sociology Association in San Francisco early in the fall, A suggestion was made for a formal statement by the Asso- ciation but was ruled’ out by the chair, This was followed by a motion for an informal expres- sion of opinion which was passed, Because of this, the let- ter stresses that it comes from INDIVIDUAL members of the Association, When asked about the role of the intellectual and the uni- versity in protest against the war, Mr, Schneider, stated: ~““*It is" incumbent'’on the -aca- demic. world to raise itséli- up on its hind legs against this wretched adventure of ours,.”’ Nancy Miller > * t Page Two ne THE COLLEGE NEWS Friday, November 17, 1967 C7 Shrewd Reply To the Editor; I am writing in reference to some well deserved criticism I have heard of my review of ‘The Taming of the Shrew.’’ . Perhaps fittingly for the pro- duction, there was not quite enough of anything in my review. Or rather, what there was enough of, - there was too much of, I question whether anyone wants to or should read more than 11 inches or so of someone else’s opinion of a dramatic production. At the same time, I feel there should be a sort of hierarchic distribution of space in a col- lege newspaper. The length of my review was in no way a sugges- tion as to the importance of the play. There is no doubt that it was of greater moment to the college community than, for example, a movie version of “Hamlet.’”? The --“pelative brevity of my comments was rather a journalistic concern over the length of some of my other pieces. This was an econ- omy I should not have practiced* at the expense of the College. Theatre. ‘ Similarly, sincere if not terri- bly contrite apologies are prob- ably due the costume committee, at whose expense | indulged in some sarcastic rhetoric.

Mary Laura Gibbs '70 Critical Holocausts To the Editor: On behalf of the Bryn Mawr College Theatre and the Haver- Letters to the Editor ford College Drama Club, I would like to extend my apologies to the reviewer of ‘‘The Taming of the Shrew’? for subjecting her to such an unpleasant and fruitless eve- ning. F I would also like to point out, however, that despite the often: caustic tenor of his verbal holo-— causts, Alexander Woolcott was able to metamorphize a fiasco into a moderately meaningful ex- perience for both himself and the theatre companies. A thought- ful critical attitude is usually more rewarding to everyone involved than a devastatingly negative one. . Betsy Kreeger '68 Vice President, College Theatre Distorted View To the Editor: Miss Mary -Laura Gibbs, the most recent drama critic of Bryn Mawr and Haverford productions, — has revedled in her review-a condescending, if not distorted view of ‘‘The Taming of the Shrew.’’ All too eager’ to condemn the production for not having ‘‘quite. enough of anything’? she failed to note an admirable and polished balance which characterized the pace and tenor of the play. Her textual understanding seems ‘‘un- easily fuzzy’’ as she is surprised that Petruchio is allowed to over- come Kate. I may be mistaken, but . T assumed that this was the gen- eral idea ... Insofar as interpre- tation of the material, a realm in which Miss Gibbs feels there is an ‘‘apparent lack,’? our critic may have been too busy thinking about Mr. Swann’s ‘‘cloying habit of tossing his hair back’’ to ob- serve the interpretation presented in the first mieeting of Kate and Petruchio; an idea of:.‘‘love at first sight,’’ obviously not the only possible interpretation of the drama, but certainly a plausible and effective one as it is car- ried throughout the play. What she calls ‘‘generally good timing’? is to me a huge under- statement. The actors move onand off stage with a professional ease, as do they pick up their lines in a manner that can only be called extremely well-timed. Thus what Miss Gibbs calls a half- hearted performance seems to me to be a vibrant production. The purpose of a review, even on a college campus, is not to give . unending and inordinate praise to one’s peers; but at the same time it should not be used as a means to discuss frayed costumes, unless one considers this to be an essential flaw in the art form (‘‘Fie, Fie unknit thy threatening, unkind brow’’), Instead this review might have mentioned just once the name of Mr. Paul Hofstetler, under whose direction ‘‘The Taming of the Shrew’? became a well-balanced, well-paced, dynamic production in which a number of actors dis- played an uncontestable talent. In short, Mr. Kopff and Miss Ford -interacted with a vibrant cast to present, in my opinion, one of the finest shows seen on the Haverford and Bryn Mawr campuses in the past four years. Lynne Meadow °68 Reviewer's Notes To “Critical Holocausts”: I never felt under sub- jection, nor did I feel the evening unpleasant or fruitless! I am more flattered than you know, and undoubtedly more than you intended, by your reference to Alexander Woolcott in relation to my review, I wish I were of his calibre, in the business of writing caustic, verbal holocausts or of metamorphizing, but I am not, In order to metamorphoze at all however, one must first see a definite form in one’s raw material, This is easy with a diamond, or with a porcupine, but more difficult with sludge, Mary Laura Gibbs To “Distorted View”: Mire Glad you thought so! I did not say that Petruchio was allowed to overcome Kate. I said that Chris Kopff was al- lowed to overpower Kay Ford. The idea of love at first sight is a very common and comple- tely believable interpretation of the meeting of Kate and Petruchio; I regretted that this interpreta- tion was betrayed in our product- ion only for a matter of seconds, in their glance before either spoke, and subsequently shelved. Mary Laura Gibbs Pass/Fail | To the Editor: Yale University has just insti- tuted a new method of grading, ‘the pass/fail system, thus setting a precedent for overdue revisions within a system immutable for so many years, Shouldn’t Bryn Mawr take this opportunity to reconsider the value of its present grading methods? After devoting an entire year to the infinite problems pre- sented by the school’s calendar, shouldn’t we now turn to the equally compelling question: have we not -gutgrown our grading system? Our present grading system is based on a scale from 0 to 100, its purpose is to give a just and meaningful evaluation of a. stu- dent’s work, But what are its results? It provides a reward or stimulus for achievement, Un- fortunately, the grade often be- comes the only stimulus, thus defeating the attempt to instill in the student a desire for learn- ing. meaningful evaluation of the stu- dent’s work--is such an evaluation at all feasible under this system? What is the standard used in de- ciding whether a paper is to receive an 82 or 83? Often a professor is forced to spend time devising a system by means of which he can make such an unnecessary distinction, time that he might rather spend criticizing the papers in greater detail, Not only is it impossible to distinguish between an 82 and an 83, but it is also impossible for a professor to es- tablish the absolute value of a grade, How canthere bea common. standard? (As weall know, a paper which gets an 81 in one English Comp, course may well reap a paltry 69.7 in another, Where is the basis fora just evaluation?) If our present system encourages’ competition, by setting up symbols of accomplishment, it should at least provide an objective basis for these symbols, There are many alternatives within the basic framework of a pass/fail system, for example, the honor-satisfactory-unsatis- factory system, In any pass/fail system the emphasis shifts from grades which assume inherent but misleading values, to comments -which not only evaluate the spe- cific papers, but which also lead to brief but comprehensive analy- sis of student’s progress and de- velopment, Too often we are left to infer comments from numbers, A pass/fail system enables stu- dents to work for knowledge and not for rank in class. Private standards replace group stand- ards, (A new system might even prevent a few neurotic traumas!) We realize that we have treated this problem only superficially, omitting some issues. while only touching others, Nevertheless we (Continued on page 9) And as for the just and thanksgiving: that used to be over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house we go now it’s into the train and down the tracks to new york city we go many years ago when i was a quite tiny baby owl thanksgiving mainly meant roast turkey (yes, sauce and stuffing, mashed po- tatoes, olives, and juicy orange pumpkin pie, also ten people around the table and glasses of home-made blackberry wine for each of the grownups, now that i have joined the not- to-be-trusted group over twenty and homemade blackberry wine has long since seceded its re- vered place to gin and tonic, thanksgiving means this; thanksgiving is cutting wednes- day classes thanksgiving is cutting monday and tuesday classes thanksgiving is a heaven-sent breathing space - between two 10- page papers ee thanksgiving is new york and mame thanksgiving is shopping for christmas. THANKSGIVING IS THURSDAY ‘ love applebee ee mM ajo , oi nt What issues can be sorted out of the tangle of petitions and minor changes and disappointments involved in the question of majoring at Haverford while attending Bryn Mawr? ; One issue that becomes clear is a certain narrow- mindedness. Bryn Mawr has a special experience to offer to its students, and they come to this college to take advantage of it. But it can’t give every kind of a course from every kind of an approach. Where it is lacking, it is lucky to have Haverford so nearby to complement its curriculum and faculty. Haverford students major in Italian, Archeology, History of Art, Geology, and Anthropology at Bryn Mawr because they can find nothing comparable at their own school. The merging of the history. and economic depart- ments of Haverford and Bryn Mawr indicates a recogni- tion of the courses of both schools as valuable for a major. Why is there no recognition of the difference between some Bryn Mawr and Haverford departments, each of which might be valuable to different kinds of students? Another thing Bryn Mawr cannot do is determine in what way a student will become excited about learning. It can’t guarantee that the source of a student’s excitement will be found within the Bryn Mawr curriculum. This brings up the issue of how students choose a major, and why they find Bryn Mawr’snarrowmindedness about majoring restricting. One girl interviewed by the NEWS described her-courses in the religion departmentat ~~Haverford as opening her mind to new ways of thinking “© and as teaching her to discuss and deal with problems _- dn the next few weeks. oe that she feels persona ‘involved in, Being exposed to these new ideas and encountering these problems has made her aware of questions and themes inher Bryn Mawr courses. Isn’t involvement in one area which gives rise to be considering it for the particular individuals whoapply questions. about other fields and affects our whole way ot ; Fiditorials looking at things what we mean by centering interest, or ‘¢majoring?’? Or does majoring mean that, for example, a girl who wants to study religion struggles over a course in logic just to fulfill a requirement for a philosophy major, which is acceptable at Bryn Mawr? We think that students should be encouraged, not dis- couraged, from majoring at Haverford if they are sincere- ly interested in.a particular Haverford department. The intellectual spirit that is nourished when a student works in a major thatis meaningful to her will often make her other classes exciting. And it can make her whole exper- ience at Bryn Mawr a more learning anda less eeu’ cal one. M, Marvelous Opportunity Possibilities for working in the Independent Urban Education Program in northeast Philadelphia should be fully explored by all students who are interested in education, community organizing or civil rights. The pilot phase of the program will beginin February, with six students living in Philadelphia and opportunities for students to work there on a once- or twice-a-week basis. Originally we had heard that only Haverford students could live there and receive full semester credit. ‘They’ will be paying tuition to Haverford (to keep their 2-S status), but living in the neighborhood, taking one or two seminars and writing a paper. Working this way from February to July or August will equal a full semester’s credit. Haverford’s Academic bamasinaed ‘The NEWS has since learned that Bryn Mawr students might be able to work out a similar program. That is, they might be able to get partial credit or even complete _ credit for the semester, while living and working in the f project area, by having their plan accepted by the Curriculum Committee and their major department. Obviously, this will be easier in the social science departments than others, because they can more easily adapt their credit requirements to the kind of work and research the student might be doing. 2 This is a marvelous opportunity for students to offer their skills, talents, energies and enthusiasm to a project which is attempting to get at the roots of several of America’s most difficult problems.» The college should do everything it can do to encourage students to take this opportunity and to be as flexible as possible in allowing credit. K.B, Cooperation, Bryn Mawr Style, Il The roadblocks to joint effort between Haverford and Bryn Mawr can be seen in the bus situation. Mr. Klug’s surprise at the statement made by Haverford ‘‘News” that negotiations for a joint purchase of anew bus are continu- ing between the two comptrollers shows‘a certain lack of communication between the schools. According to Mr. Klug, Haverford‘is buying the bus by. * themselves, since Bryn Mawr feels that this bus would be- too small to solve the bus problem. Judging from the statement ‘‘I stick to by business and he sticks to his business’’ (another version-of ‘‘I wear a certain hat and you wear a certain hat’’) it would seem that ‘onty a minimal amount of munication is desired and _ that coordination of ideas is discouraged. ~~~ His conclusion that there has been a greatdeal of mis- understanding is sad, but true. Perhaps with closer com- munication, situations like these can be avoided. _ “ N.M. a Friday, November 17, 1967 THE COLLEGE NEWS Majoring at Haverford: Difficulties Snag Interest Development The following article is a sequel to an article by Sally Dimschulz which appeared in the NEWS two weeks ago, éx- plaining the difficulties she has discovered in trying to major in biology at Haverford. The purpose of this article is to interview other girls who have tried to major in a Haver- ford department. The NEWS has gathered from talking to ad- ministration officials and students that misunderstanding and confusion cloud the whole issue of majoring at Haverford, and that the deans have not done much ‘to clear it up. There seems to be a general lack of communication among stu- dents, departments, and adminis- _ tration about Bryn Mawr girls ‘who want to major at Haverford, Despite this lack, there-have been several cases of interaction be- tween the administrat'on, the Cur- riculum Committee, and girls who are interested in a particular de- partment at Haverford, Religion -- a major department at Haverford, but not at Bryn’ Mawr -- has drawn several Bryn Mawr girls into study of some depth, Cheri Ritter ’69 was the first student to petition for a major in religion at Haverford, . In an in- terview with the NEWS, she ex- plained that when she had her rou- tine sophomore dean’s appointment last year, she talked about her in- terest in religion, and said she wished there were more religion courses at Bryn Mawr. Mrs, Pruett suggested to her the possi- bility of majoring at Haverford, At the time, there were other students ‘trying to take Haverford religion courses, but no majors, Mrs. Pru- ett said, She thought that Cheri might act as a test case for the Curriculum Committee, The request went in, and after two meetings, the Committee re- sponded by stating that it would be impossible for Cheri to major in religion at Haverford, Mrs, Pruett gave.two reasons for the Committee’s decision, Cheri said. One is that Bryn Mawr doesn’t feel that majoring in religion is a good preparation for the graduate study in religion a student might do, A strong lib- eral arts background is necessary Writing Fellowships Available to Seniors In U.S. and Canad Fourteen fellowships’ of $3,000 each will be awarded to seniors in American and Canadian colleges and universities through a writing contest administered by the Col- lege English Association and spon- sored by the Book-of- apbtbsrcaiar Club. According to the Chairman of the Board of the Book-of-the- Month Club, there are many fel- lowships available for those who wish to pursue _ scientific and scholarly investigations but rel- atively few are available to the young creative writer. ‘‘We hope this program will help rectify this situation. We have designed it to give the gifted college senior “an opportunity to develop his cre- ative talents in the year follow- © ing his graduation.” Closing date for entries is Dec-” j ember 1.

The Admissions Committees of various theological seminaries support this view, Secondly, Mrs, Pruett pointed out that Bryn Mawr graduates re- ceive their degrees only from de- partments offering graduate level instruction, The religion depart- ment at Bryn Mawr is not part of the graduate school, Cheri is now majoring in philo- sophy, and thinking about going into religious education when she grad- uates, What is needed at Bryn Mawr is not necessarily a major depart- ment of religion, Cheri concluded, But since many people want to study religion, more courses should be set up. After a recent talk. with Mrs, Marshall, Cheri believes that the administration is actively seeking professors for the depart- ment, now that they are aware of the student interest init... How- ever, Cheri is convinced that any . Bryn Mawr girl attracted by re- ligion should look into the kinds of ‘‘fantastic courses’? and the different approaches Haverford offers, Bonnie Cunningham ’68 has also tried..to explore her interest in religion while at Bryn Mawr, She wanted to declare a double major in French and religion, and to major in religion at Haverford because she believes the depart- ment thére differs widely from Bryn Mawr’s, As a freshman, Bonnie said she tried to take the introductory reli- gion course at Bryn Mawr, then taught by Miss Corbet, She was forced to drop because of the irreg- ularity of class meetings. The ‘next year she was able “Mr. Enslin’s b lical history ¢ in the bible as literature. She registered for History of the Bible, but also listened to Mr, Spiegler’s beginning religion course at Hav- erford. §piegler’s course dis- cused the history and the liter- ature of the bible together, In addition it considered the views of modern philosophers on the bible, and the purpose of the bible today. Although she personally preferred “Spiegler’s approach, Bonnie was told by the adminis- tration that she couldn’t. take his class because it was the same as the introductory course En- slin offered. Three weeks into the semester, she petitioned Miss writing a letter which listed all her reasons for choosing Spieg- ler’s course, She explained the differences between Spiegler’s and Enslin’s classes some of which were made obvious in the Bryn Mawr and Haverford catalogues, Bonnie claimed, Miss McBride _a school with amore suitable major McBride, permitted her. to go over to Hav- erford, but the reason she gave for granting permission was that Bonnie had been dropped from Miss Corbet’s course as a fresh- man, In trying to declare her double major she was advised by the deans to write a letter to the Curriculum Committee, When Cheri was turned down, by the Committee Bonnie realized that she wouldn’t be allowed to major at Haverford, either, She never filed a for- mal petition. This year (after writing a letter to Mrs, Marshall over the summer) Bonnie has been able to take an allied comp in religion at Haver- ford, Mr. Spiegler is drawing up a special comp for her, This is a new pattern in Haverford- Bryn Mawr cooperation, Bonnie concluded that the pre- cedent of taking Haverford courses has awakened interest among Bryn Mawr girls in departments which have emphases and courses to offer distinct from Bryn Mawr’s, For example, the religion de- partment at Bryn Mawr, said Bonnie quoting the deans, is con- cerned mostly with ‘‘the history of religions.”” The courses she has had at Haverford deal more with the relation of ‘religious’ ideas tocontemporary questions -- be they theological, literary, or properly philosophic. The use of ideas rather than restriction to facts interests her most, although she acknowledges that the Bryn Mawr department is certainly res- pected in its field. She described one Haverford course, Religious Ideas in Modern Culture, that incorporates novel- ists such as Kafka, Camus, and Greene, and philosopers Bult- “mann, Tiilich, and Buber in look- ” ing at how contemporary man ap- proaches. the modern world, The Haverford department reaches out | into different fields, including French, her major, in opening her mind to different themes and approaches, and new ways of think- ing about traditional problems. Involvement in a Haverford de- partment which has no counter- part at Bryn Mawr doesn’t mean that you don’t ‘‘come here for the whole Bryn Mawr education,’’ said Bonnie, It doesn’t mean necessar- ily that you should transfer to department, Engineering is another major not offered by Bryn Mawr, Grethe Holby °70 is considering majoring in engineering at Haverford. Grethe recently talked with Mrs, Pruett, who said that the deans have expected such a request for a long time, She suggested that Grethe petition the Curriculum Committee, Kathy Murphey photo by Kit Ba ‘Nancy Miller and Lucy Jennings illustrate their feelings toward “the Bryn Mawr Trust Company with a form of protest made well- - known in another context.

The Nobel Peace Prize was given to her in 1946, partly for her work in founding, with Jane Addams, the Womens’ Internation- al League for Peace and Freedom in 1915. John Dewey wrote of her after she-received the prize: ‘‘In honoring Emily Greene Balch, the Nobel Committee of Oslo has not only honored itself, it has given deserved and needed recognition to all those patient, hard-working pioneers of the peoples of the earth whose intelligent faith, courage and persistence is the sure guarantee as well as inspiration of the establishment of enduring peace among nations. What I should like to emphasize chiefly is her constructive statesmanship--her intellectual leadership in the under- standing and solution of the complicated concrete problems of organizing ‘the affairs of a dynamically peaceful. world.” .

A life-long worker for peace and social justice, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1946, one of two American women ever thus to be honored. =~ We, the undersigned alumnae of Bryn Mawr College, can think of no more fitting memorial to Emily Balch than to jgin the rising thousands throughout the country who protest, on grounds of morality, and in the interests of world peace and security, our government’s presence and policies in Vietnam. This is a war we cannot win, politically or militarily. We can only ‘‘make a desert and call it peace.’’ We call upon the Administration to halt the bombing of North Vietnam forthwith, without demand for the promise of reciprocal action by the Hanoi government, initiating at the same time a cease-fire to be followed by offers of negotiation with all parties concerned, including the National Liberation Front as party in its own right. Only thus can peace be brought to a ravaged land and South Vietnam be. permitted to work out its own political destiny.

Mawr students are eagerly seeking the thin line in the middle Viewpoint: News Media Distorts Facts Many of us are aware of inci- dents in which the American news media has deliberately mistated or misrepresented the facts to the public. These fabrications seem the exception rather than the rule, however; most of us still rely on the newspaper, radioand television for an account of current events. Unfortunately, the bias of news media is far more pervasive than we realize. For more -com- mon than outright lies is the quiet emphasis or suppression of ele- ments in..a story. And these slants can distort the’ American scene more subtly and therefore more completely than great lies. An example of this distortion is the reporting of the Nevember 7 referendum on Vietnam in San Francisco. I listened to the broad- cast (which invariably announced that result last) and got the im- pression that the voters over- whelmingly refused to endorse a policy for peace in Vietnam. Only later did I find out specific facts that clarify -- and brighten -- the situation. The voters had re- jected the question, but by a margin of 63.34% to 36.66%. Anextremely heavy turnout of 85% of registered citizens voted 132,406 against to 76,632 for the proposal. This margin was very encourag-= ing, however, when we hear the wording itself, ‘Shall it be the policy of the city and county of San Francisco that there be im- mediate ceasefire and withdrawal of United States troops from Viet- nam so that the Vietnamese people can settle their own problems,” As the London ‘‘Times”’ said, ‘‘In view of its extreme terms, the proposition may be said to have done rather well.”’ “ALL WEEKEND” events are on page seven. - FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17 Philadelphia Orchestra Istvan Kertesz Conducting Academy of Music 2:00 p.m. Haverford Art Series “Paris Rive Gauche ’?

He stated that he had voted against the referendum because it ‘‘called for the unconditional surrender of the United States.”? Alioto favors an immediate negotiated peace fol- lowed by a massive foreign aid program, That the majority of San Fran- ciscans do oppose the war in some terms was indicated by a pre- election poll, On Nov. 7, Re- publicans and Democrats from all districts voted for the proposal, although stronger support was, of course, registered among ethnic groups and in the Haight-Ashbury district than in middle-class and exclusive residential areas. It must be remembered, however, that most of the strongly pro- peace hippies are either too young to vote or not registered. Thus with both San Francisco newspapers (the ‘‘Chronicle’”’ and the ‘‘Examiner’’) and with two out of three mayorality candidates (Dobbs and Alioto versus Morri- son) opposing the issue, over one- third of San Franciscan: voters supported a radical, unconditional peace policy, These facts were given to us in varying degree by the Washington .‘‘Post,’’ the New York ‘‘Times,” the Philadelphia ‘‘Inquirer’’; but the stories were so de-emphasized that few of us realized the. import of the re- ferendum result. Barbara Sindel of Music, 8:30 p.m. University of Pennsylvania ‘ ‘THe COLLEGE NEWS | Of The Press Issue Explodes tery t eo : oF Page Six 6% oy Friday, November 17, 1967 Freedom The author and Diane Jor- dan were visiting McGill Uni-. versity. in Montreal last week, ostensibly to attend a World Affairs conference. They found themselves in the middle of a free speech-student power con- troversy, which proved more: interesting and educational than the conference. All photos were obtained from the McGill ‘“*Daily”’ photogra- phy staff. The individual photographer does not wish to be named because he is a U. 4 draft evader. ‘Welcome to Montreal, our vibrant city”’ were the last words we heard as we stepped _ off the jet Wednesday, headed for the Mc- Gill Conference on World Affairs. We knew that this was.a big year for Canada, and especially for Quebec, but we hardly expected to land in the middle of a cam- pus crisis. We did, McGill had exploded; Canada was hit by student power and the reaction was violent. _ ; Students sat and slept-in at the administration building November 7-8, fortified by food, drink and films. It all started on Friday, November 3, | when the McGill ‘‘Daily” ran a reprint from ‘The Realist,’? Paul Krassner’s satirical magazine. The article was pre- sented as deleted passages from William Manchester’s THE DEATH OF A PRESI- DENT. Sparing no four-letter words, it accused Kennedy of being a woman- chaser and Johnson of practicing necro- phelia, It was totally false; the story was not really a collection of blue-pencilled portions from Manchester’s book but sim- ply a product of Krassner’s fertile im- agination. John Fekete, in whose column the article was reprinted, neglected to tell his readers ‘ this. He set forth the material as straight fact and many students believed it. All Copies Disappeared Reaction on campus was. swift. By 10 a.m. Friday all copies of the ‘*Daily’’ had disappeared, and it was estimated that more than half the total distribution had been siezed by unknown parties. Rumors flared: some said that police had raided the campus; others maintained that the ad- ministration was protecting student morals. Both stories were proved-un- true, but the disappearance remains a mystery. Sign hung on administration building by SDU agitators. The McGill Student Society met on Fri- day to consider a motion condemning the ‘«Daily” managing board and Fekete for the column. The motion was defeated by 112- 59 on the grounds that (a) the material had already been distributed publicly; (b) freedom of the press should not be tampered with; (c) passing the motion would be an insult to the intelligence of the students since it would be admitting jentire ‘‘Daily’’ staff had resigned though there were no indications that staff mem- bers had even considered it. Editor-in-chief of the ‘‘Daily’’, Peter Allnutt, released a statement on Friday afternoon apologizing for the column. He described the article as ‘‘political, social, and literary satire’ which was at ‘‘no time intended to be credible’? but went on to say that it should never have appeared in the ‘“‘Daily.” ‘An error in judgment was made,’”? he explained, ‘‘The article was considered in the context of ‘The Realist? and when it came out in our newspaper we frealized that it had no place therein,’’ Charged With Obscene Libel In spite of Allnutt’s retraction, the McGill administration was dissatisfied with the Student Society’s lack’of action. McGill Principal and Vice-Chancellor H, Rocke Robertson summoned the three boys involved in the affair--Editor Allnutt, columnist Fekete, and Supplement Editor Pierre Fournier--and charged them with | obscene libel. The boys were to appear before an Administration Disciplinary Committee to answer the charge. Speaking to a packed house, Dr. Robert- son explained his position. ‘‘There is.. an intimate association between the McGill “Daily” and the University. The Uni- versity cannot stand aside when its stand- ing may be harmed by student behavior.”’ Dr. Robertson went on to say, however, that the paper must retain its independent character. As a concession to students, he invited two Students’ Council members to..sit in on the Committee meeting in a non-yoting capacity. ‘ Students’? Council convened on Monday to consider Dr. Robertson’s invitation. The motion was defeated by a 13-6 vote, on the grounds that the administration had overstepped its authority and that to accept Dr. Robertson’s proposal was to accept this usurpation of power. Student Council also voted to table a motion which had been pending, calling for campus-wide election of the ‘‘Daily’’ man- aging board. Under the present system, the current board chooses its successors. Since the paper is highly political, it is felt that a self-perpetuating ruling clique. has been established. .The Council decided, however,- not to rule on-the matter in the heat of the current issue. More Radical Than SDS And the issue was still hot, dents for A Democratic University (SDU)' - similar to America’s SDS but somewhat more radical - was ripe for a cause and lost no time exploiting this one. Stanley Grey, a political science lecturer and head of the McGill chapter of SDU, immed- iately issued.a statement deploring the administration involvement and calling for student retaliation. Moreover, SDU reprinted the column ; for distribution throughout the 11,000- The Stu- | in trouble on his campus.) Stanley Grey presented the administra- tion on Tuesday with five demands; that the charges against the three -students be dropped; that a new disciplinary code be prepared; that University disciplinary action be used only for scholastic im- proprieties; that the McGill ‘tDaily’’ be given complete freedom fr administra- tive control; and that University gov- ernment situation be revised. Grey then led a sit-in of 750 students outside the Administration building. Dr. Robertson appeared before the dem- onstrating students on Tuesday to re- explain his position. He was greeted with. polite. applause but left amid general hissing. The sit-in became a. sleep-in as some 200 students camped out in the Admin- istration building. A hundred counter- demonstrators appeared and burned copies of the ‘Daily’?; however, no violence occurred between the rival demonstra- tions. The administration treated the situation with a deliberate lack of concern, Dr. Michael Oliver, Vice-Principal for Aca- demic Affairs, wished the demonstrators a pleasant stay, bid them good night, and offered them full use of the washroom facilities. By Wednesday morning the demonstra- tion had become rather stale. trickled home wearily amid cries of «Keep the cause alive!”’ from SDU leaders. Students’ Council stepped in on Wednes- day night and passed a resolution calling for action from the Students’ Judicial Committee. The motion instructed the Committee to decide on sanctions if it found the article ‘‘in bad faith’. On Thursday, faculty members were attempting to fan the cause by holding seminars on the role of students in a community. Concessions Meanwhile, Students’ Council met with ' the administration. Concessions were made on both sides: SDU withdrew its official support from the sit-in and the administration postponed hearing on the three students invo}ved. It looked, alarmingly to some factions, that the matter might end peaceably. Then where would Student Power be? Vio- | lence had to erupt. And it did. On Thursday night fifty students forced their way into Dr. Robertson’s private office. They refused to leave when asked nicely by the principal. They refused to leave when asked not so nicely. And they refused to leave when the administration finally called ' in the Montreal police. This was what the radical leaders had wanted. Finally the drama was complete. Cries of “Police Brutality!’ sprang ‘up outside the administration building. A crowd of about 150demonstratorsand - curiosity seekers gathered to witness the spectacle.

To pass the time while waiting for the Police Brutality they had been promised, they started to chant ‘sJump! Jump! Jump!’’. Minimum of Violence The curiosity seekers were dis- appointed: the police managed to drag the students out of the building with a © minimum: of violence. The trespassers, were simply dumped on the grass and left there. By now, newspapers throughout Can- ada were avidly reporting on the sit- uation. We -realized that we were in the midst of an important breakthrough for the Canadian University and decided to investigate the matter further. We first of all wished to interview the three students on trial. John Fekete was unavailable for comment (or any- - thing else: he disappeared early in the affair) but we did get to talk to the other implicated boys. Peter Allnutt was reluctant to give us much information while he was still uncertain of his status as Editor and as a McGill student. He repeated his apol- ogy and said that he had never realized the impact the article would have. He was satisfied with the outcome of the Students’? Council meeting and felt that the Judicial Committee had a right to unseat him as Editor if it found that he had acted irresponsibly. Supplement Editor Pierre Fournier, on the other hand, was not so gracious, He. was amazed at the credibility of the cam- pus and outraged at the charge of ob- scenity. He explained that as a French Canadian, he had a different code of mor- ality from that of the average McGill student. He was also annoyed at the demon- strators, because he felt that they cared little for his personal cause. He went on to say, however, that the administra- _tion had no. right to intervene in the issue. Fournier seemed therefore to be for the students in the abstract, but against organized student groups, such as SDU, which he considers heartless and Students’ Council, whith he considered powerless. Our view of the Students’ Council was hazy, so we probed this situation too. The council consists of twenty members. Each faculty is allowed one delgate, ex- cept Arts and Sciences (3), Engineering (2), and Post-graduates (2). We dis- covered that the body is torn apart by incredible political factionism. We there- fore decided to interview representatives of all political persuasions on the Council. Our self-acclaimed leftist was a post- graduate named William Lenihan. He was an extremely angry young man and oddly outdated (He kept referring to the ‘bourgeoisie’, the ‘‘class struggle” and other catchwords from the thirties.) Bourgeois Penn sylvania “He said that the article was in bad — faith only if one viewed the McGill‘‘Daily”’ as an organ of the status quo, If the paper was truly representative of the people, i 2 | oy et ail catheter 's Ah-4 “ Page Seven Friday, November 17, 19672 then the column was necessary social criticism. We pointed out printing un- true facts displaying President Johnson as a sexual pervert couldhardly be termed in the public interest. He replied that we, and our newspaper, and our school, and probably all of Pennsylvania were bourgeois and could therefore have no conception of the public interest. Our moderate was external vice-presi- dent of the Council, Richard Burkhardt. He saw the affair as two separate issues. Whether the article was in bad faith he saw as a judicial decision. He felt that it was definitely irresponsible journal- ism to run the article with no editorial note, and felt on those grounds that Editor Allnutt should lose his position, On the second and larger issue of stu- dent power, Burkhardt felt that SDU had a weak case. The article is indefensible;. even SDU later admitted it. Therefore he felt that student power is getting off to a bad start by starting on false premises. Our rightist was the Council’s Law rep- resentative, Michael Vineberg, head of the McGill Conservative League...He is an articulate and thoughtful boy; it was his resolution that passed in Council referring the matter to the Judicial Committee. He felt that all three boys could be convicted for criminal libel, Since Pres- ident Johnson was not likely to take the | matter to court, it was the administration’s duty to step in. The Button Mentality ‘¢ «Student Power’ is a limited label,’’ he said. ‘It appeals to the button men- tality so prevalent on this campus. What does it really mean? Students can and should never really be autonomous. A university is part of a larger community and must abide by the community rules.” He felt, that more serious action should be taken against the students who broke into Dr. Robertson’s office, than against the boys responsible for the column, ‘One can simply be termed a mistake; the other is simply sickening disregard for the law.’’ We agreed with Vineberg ‘that the dem- onstration leaders were as tangled up in the affair as the students on trial. We therefore decided to interview two stu- dent power agitators. One was a refugee from Berkeley-- his name cannot be revealed as he is in Canada illegally, escaping the draft-- who was helping with protest organi- zation, A real pro, he expressed dis- gust at the Canadian lack of experience, «One phone call and I could have 2,000 people mobilized at home, Here it’s impossible,”’ The other agitator, Robert Dondas, was a McGill law student, He is passionately interested in educational reform and_ is an odd mixure of idealism and cold practicality. He believes in a somewhat romantic notion of imaginative learning which can transcend the bounds of lec- tures and classrooms; on the other hand, he was completely uninterested in the issue at hand or the boys involved, He speaks dispassionately about the demon- stration: ‘‘As long as their bodies cover the grass, I don’t care what’s in their heads,’ Finally, to get an objective overall view, we sought out a student who was a campus leader totally uninvolyed in the affair but knowledgable about campus inner workings, After some asking about, we discovered David Chenoweth, known as ‘‘the campus scab,”’ Chenoweth is managing ‘editor of the McGill ‘‘Free Press’ (a paper founded a year ago to print straight news as ‘ @ protest against the highly political nature of the ‘Daily’; a switch on the usual underground-established paper re- lationship), He is also a professional reporter for the Montreal ‘‘Gazette,”’ He sees the issue as a purely emotional one and sympathizes with the administra- tion, As a private university, McGill is supported primarily by the business ~ community; ‘Chenoweth ~ stated the busi- ness leaders were withdrawing funds from the school because of the column, though the administration-had denied this. (The THE COLLEGE NEWS SDU chairman, Stanley Grey, addresses demonstrators outside the administration building November 8. fact that his father owned one of the largest companies in Montreal gave credence to his argument.) He furthermore revealed that Fekete had retained legal council a few weeks before printing the article, Fekete appar- ently knew that he was sending up a trial balloon for Student Power. It is too early to see precisely how successful Fekete’s trial balloon is. How- ever, some preliminary outcomes are evident, John Fekete himself-will probably be expelled. It is not the first time that he has harassed the administration, Peter Allnutt and Pierre Fournier will probably be allowed to stay on at McGill, but not as Editors of the ‘'Daily’’. Paper Will Benefit The paper itself will benefit from the affair, A commission has been set up by Students’ Council to investigate the procedure for selecting the managing board, The students will almost cer- tainly gain tighter control of the paper from the committee’s findings, The SDU has chosen a poor cause to champion; their position will hurt the boys involved by forcing the administration to take a more rigid position, calling for martyrs, Students will gain, if not greater free- dom, at least an awareness of their power to antagonize the administration, But the largest consequence of the affair relates not solely to McGill but to all of Canada, The country has suddenly discovered its greatest unfinished busi- ‘ness: the search for a personality, This great Canadian awakening was bound to hit the student community, And it did, But why McGill first? It is nota logical leader of the student power fight; it is an extremely traditional school supported by a firmly entrenched establishment, The answer has its. roots. in Quebec politics, The province is struggling des- perately to maintain its French-Canadian heritage against the English-Canadian pressure, ‘‘Free Quebec” is little more than a slogan, because the province could not be economically independent, Its alternative is to join the United States; Into Canadian Student Power Struggle this would certainly destroy the Quebec cultural identity, \_So the struggle is be- coming desperate and militant, Ready for a Cause McGill is the leading university in Quebec, Though primarily English-Cana- dian, it cannot be oblivous to what is happening around it, It too has gained a new militancy. It was readyfora cause, It got one; it responded with force, And what is most far-reaching of all the con- sequences of the McGill ‘‘Daily’’ affair is that it will be the fuse for-a whole series. of student power demonstrations ‘throughout Canada, Students are dis- covering themselves in a country which is discovering itself; the result will be explosive, Maggie Crosby Guide (Continued from page 4) ALL WEEKEND.

The 8 a.m. process carries this lack of privacy to a degrading ex- treme.

One plan to start the further- ‘ing of relations would be to pre- sent a jointly sponsored mixer for the Undergraduates of Villanova and Bryn Mawr.

A pleasing design seems to be what small children are groping for in their early works, If the design means that Daddy has to have his arms growing out of his head, then that is the wayhe will be drawn, Often an adult will title a child’s design a ‘‘house”” or a ‘boat’? when all the child was doing was drawing pleasant designs of squares, rectangles and triangles. ~ Up to age five, all childrens’ drawings are very much alike, At age three, they have reached a confident age with their designs. One girl when asked to explain her drawing answered, ‘‘this is not a story ..- it’s 2 picture to look at,’’ It didn’t need any ex- planations, All children begin with scrib- bles, when they are about two. Even if a child could imagine a circle or. a straight line, his muscular coordination is not de- veloped enough for him _ to be able to draw it, A scribble, however, contains implied shapes; the authors have identified 20 basic scribbles and 17’basic placement patterns on a page, ‘‘Scribbling is spontaneous, but the very young child has a_ feeling for the pattern his markings make against a background,”? It is the act of scribbling that creates the meaning of the finished version, There is no plan in the beginning. The authors- recount the story of a foolish nursery-school teacher who ask a scribbler what she was drawing, Reasonably, she answered, ‘‘How do I know until I have finished?’ The authors ask that the adult not regard childish self- taught art as ‘‘cute,’’ but as tthe groundwork of all art.’’ Then, they hope, ‘‘adults will not make stencils for children to fill in, nor will they laugh at what they do not understand,”’ It is not the authors’ words that make the book so remarkable, It is the page after page of color reproductions of finger- paintings, drawings, and scrib- bles... It is easy to get lost inthe bright colors and bold de- signs, and it is very tempting to mix up a batch of fingerpaint and try some for yourself, For those so inclined, here isa recipe for fingerpaint: take two cups of flour and five cups of cold water and cook until smooth, Add some salt and let it cool, Add baker’s food coloring, Subtract inhibitions, It?s a beginning, anyway.

The site at Paggio Civi- tate, which is located near Murlo and Siena, was chosen because of previous finds in the area and its centralized position in Etruria. The first problem which con-. fronted the archaeologists was the task of finding a suitable spot for the trench. The trench was finally located on a-plateau on one of the best preserved Tuscan mounds, which concealed the foundations of ’ an unusually large building. Al- though it was first assumed to bea temple, Dr. Phillips is now almost certain that because of its size it could not have been a temple. Frag- . ments of Greek pottery have been dated at the. middle of the sixth century B.C, by the Carbon-14 method. The massive walls of mud brick now cover the tiles‘from the roof in the agger laid down when the building was destroyed around 515 B.C, Many fine terrecottas and other decorations were found in what appears to be a dump from the large building.

All the friezes are character- ized by a circular design along the bottom and a series of alternating ‘rectangles at the top which has not appeared in any other Etruscan finds. Instead of being mechanical representations, the friezes are ‘realistic and partially three dimensional. Although the friezes are definite- ly Etruscan, the horse race and banquet scenes bear a striking similarity to an early Corinthian krater vase also found in Etruria. However, it is not certain whether the friezes were influenced by a certain tradition or are actually copies of the vases, The friezes were probably made from moulds because of their repetitio d the contrast between the high quality of the art and the poor quality of the clay used indicates that the moulds came from a large city such as Chiusi, whereas. the clay was made in the small town. Also of architectural interest are the decorations on the lateral sima (a panel along the side ofa building under the roof where the raindrains off). These consist of a series in- cluding a spout in the shape of an animal’s head surrounded on each side by a rosette and ahumanhead, _ These were probably made from moulds. -There is also a series of seated figures which were on top of the roof. The large eyes, flatnose, full lips and squared off béards of these figures show a Near Eastern influence, but it is not known how this influence came to Etruria. Several gorgon heads which served as antefixes and smaller fragments from other terracottas were also found. Of particular interest to all | Bryn Mawrters would be the buc- cheros (a type of Etruscan pottery) decorated with owls. Phillips hopes to answer many questions in the next few years by finishing his study of the remains of this building and then clearing ‘the rest of the area in his search for similar buildings. One such question is what was the building used for and why was it destroyed on purpose. Whatever future work reveals, it is fairly certain that these excavations will have a pro- found influence on the theories of the history of the Etruscans.

Dora Chizea, a junior from Nigeria, has been se- lected as one of about 30 foreign students to attend the Fifth Con- sultation with International Stu- dents which will be held at Lake Mohonk Mountain House in New Jersey during the holiday week- end. . The objectives of the. confer- ence are to provide a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere in which in- ternational students can share ex- periences and enjoy each others company, to encourage discus- sion on a free, non-structured basis, and to identify informa- tion which will be of value to students participating in future programs. Focusing on the theme of the international student’s lead- ership role in his own country and the world, participants will consult with resource’ persons about problems under consider- ation by the various committees. Mr. Noel J. Brown, Political Af- fairs Officer, Department of Po- litical and Security Council Af- fairs, United Nations Secretariat, will chair the discussions.

This seems to defeat the educa- tional purpose of the series. Not only was the exam unfair to the student (and there may have been just one such student) who attend- ed all the lectures and studied her notes¥for the test; but it also made it quite obvious that attendance at the lectures is in no way related to passing the exam. The vast majority of the stu- dents who took the exam had gone to two, one or none of the talks. That same vast majority will pass the test with flying colors.

Here is the College Bowl team -at play. Many a theater usher in New York is shaking her head in bewilder- ment, and a few more may do so yet. When the General Electric Corporation blithely passes out blocks of show tickets to its C ollege Bowl contestants, it little dreams the havoc such a group can wreck on a theater. Groups of more than three people ina theater are chron- ically unable to find their seats, and groups of eight or more, no matter how rich in factual material, can disrupt whole sections of seating. Our group is especially critical, to begin with, tending to glance at proffered tickets and sneer. If we deign to go to the show, we seldom know the consecutive num-_ bers of our seats, or who exactly is in our party. This necessitates a piston-like bobbing around, or a much more © graceful en masse shifting which also blocks entire sections of the stage for. people unlucky enough to be seated behind us. At “After The Rain,” vagueness as to the nature of our party led some of us to get as far as, ‘‘Excuse me, Ma’am, but I think we have all these...’’ before "someone recognized Diane Os- *theim’s mother, who ofcourse hada legitimate seat.
