THE COLLEGE NEWS Vol. Li, No, 18 BRYN MAWR, PA.. April 8,:1966. Trustees of Bryn Mawr Coogs, NB 25 Cents Eudora Wel ty Visiting Writer Eudora Welty Declines Role Of ‘Advice Giver ’ Welty, writer-in-residence whose visit ends Friday, declined the role of Miss Eudora guest ‘tadvice-giver’’ to prospective writers. Interviewed Monday at the Deanery, Miss Welty maintained that ‘‘I shouldn’t be a teller.’’ She enjoys méeting students and finds in such’ encounters the ‘‘mutual stimulus’? of discussion, but insists that there her counsel- ing must end. ‘‘Nobody gave me advice,” she remarked. ‘Nobody can advise a writer.’’ Recalling that she alwayswanted to write, Miss Welty called her- self ‘‘temperamentally suited’’ to short stories rather than novels, ‘Some people,’? she explained, ‘tare suited to both, but I prefer stories.’’ When at work, the author finds that a story begins to prepare itself before she starts to write it. ‘All writing comes from inside, from a feeling,’’ she said, ‘*Then something in the outside world sets you off, and you put the two things together.’’ Asked by Mr. Leach to read one of her stories to his writing class, Miss Welty confessed that she was pleasantly surprised to learn a few years ago that her stories could be read aloud successfully. She had always considered stories written rather than oral, but the new discovery ‘‘gives me pleasure.’’ Although she enjoys reading aloud, Miss Welty feels that ‘‘ail stories belong to be read to yourself, quietly, silently.’’ As part of her trip, the author has also delivered lectures at colleges in a busy schedule that she terms ‘‘unusual’’ for her. Before coming to Bryn Mawr, she Mrs. Wheeler Dies March 26 Mrs, Arthur L. Wheeler, profes- sor emeritus of mathematics at Bryn Mawr, died Saturday, March 26, in the Bryn Mawr Hospital. There will be a memorial service April 16 at 4:00 p.m. in the Music Room in Goodhart, to which both students and faculty are welcome. Mrs. Wheeler was 83, and was the widow of a professor of Latin at Bryn Mawr who died in 1932. A faculty member herself for 30 years, she retired in 1948, She was head of the mathematics de- partment at her retirement, She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of South Dakota in 1903, her Master of Arts degree from Radcliffe Col- lege in 1905, and a doctor of phil- osophy degree from the University of Chicago.in 1910... She also had honorary degrees from the New Jersey College for Women, now Douglass College at Rutgers University, and from Mount Holyoke College. spoke at Wellesley andthe Univer- sity of North Carolina. On her . way home to Mississippi, Miss Welty will stop.at Agnes Scott College and the University of Alabama. She describes the topic of her talks as the problems in writing that she has worked out to her satisfaction. A Donnelley Fellow at the.college in 1958, Miss Welty is pleased by the chance to re-visit friends at Bryn Mawr, speakwith students, and read samples of their writing. A reluctant advice-giver but an eager and interested visitor, Miss Welty seems as happy about her stay as are her hosts. Orchestra Concert Will Featur Haydn, Hindemith, Copland Music The Bryn Mawr-Haverford Orchestra, under the direction of Robert K. Goss, will present a concert of works ranging from late Baroque to very recent music Saturday, April 9, at 8:30 p.m. in Roberts Hall at Haverford. Ad- mission is free. Leading the program is Josef Haydn’s Symphony No. 101 in D major, better known as ‘The Clock’? Symphcny, especially from the ‘‘tick-tock’’ motif developed in the second »ymevement, It is one of the cataal of Haydn’s symphon- ies, which has retained the great popularity it achieved immediately following its premiere in England in 1794, The program then moves back to the early eighteenth-century Italian composer of mainly small ensemble pieces, Benedetto Mar- cello. The Orchestra will perform his Concerto inC minor for Oboe and Strings, with Ed Hazzard, Hav- Revision Of Committees Discussed at Since .most Hall Reps had not been elected by the time of Mon- day’s Undergrad meeting the only people present were the officers, the presidents of the Big Six, the Class Presidents, and visitors, The main business of the meeting was the discussion of various com- mittees associated with Under- grad. Discussion centered around their functions, the possibilities of combined committees, and the elimination of. committees whocc purposes are no longer c'sar. The committees discussed were; Student Exchange Comuittee, Finance, Library Coursti, Record Library, Inn Committee, Travel Bureau, Furniture Sale, and Vocation Committee. The pos- sible formation of a Bi-College Committee was also considered, The new president of Undergrad, Margaret Edwards, explained the purpose of each committee, and suggestions were made for pos-. sible changes, It was deciced that the Library Council will remain separate from the Art Librarian and the Record Librarian as in the past. The Library Council (one person) is in charge of organizing library tours and the library exam, and receives no pay, It was also decided that the Travel Bureau, also one person, will remain the same, and that the holder of this paid job be a scholarship student, The Vocational Committee will be abandoned since it has not functioned in the past few years. Many of its former functions have fallen under the Curriculum Com- mittee. An appeal was made for greater status. for the Inn Com- mittee, and a suggestion was made for the revision of the Furniture Sale. In the past the organizers of the sale received a set amount of the profits, and it has been sug- gested that this change to a percentage of the. profits in the event that a great quantity is not sold. Discussion of this point was not final, The possible formation of a Bi-College Committee to work closely with Haverford was dis- Undergrad cussed, Membership could con- sist of the Big Six representatives from both campuses, those working on campus events, or simply volunteers. Someone to organize the Meal Exchange is urgently needed, Halls End Voting; Campus Finishing Class Elections The various balls, with the ex- ception of Wyndham, now finished the ciection of their new presidents. The results of these elections are: Kitty Taylor, Den- bigh; Andrea Stark, Erdman, Sue _Bishop, Merion; Peg Heston, Pem East; Bella Lisook, Pem West; Bitsy Badal, Radnor; Alice Beadle, Rhoads; Ann Platt, Rockefeller; Sandy Gilluly, Batten House; and Karen Heckman, Spanish House, Senior and Junior class officers have also been chosen, Senior class president is Bev Lange; first Senior to Self-Gov, Claudia Mangum, The new Junior class officers are: Candi Vultaggio,. president; Sue Nosco, vice-president; Bonnie Cunningham, secretary; Ruth Gais, treasurer; Mary Little, social chairman of the college; and Liz Thacher and Lynn Awesh, first and second Juniors to Self-Gov. Freshmen began voting in the primaries for Sophomore class officers .after lunch Wednesday. They will vote for Sophomore class vice-president, second Sophomore to Self-Gov, traditions chairman, publicity chairman, two repre- sentatives to Curriculum Com- mittee, and two reps to Athletic Association, The nominees for Sophomore class vice-president are Robin Baskind, Kim Blatchford, Doris Dewton, Jill Hobey, and Lisa Neufield. ‘Nominees for second Sophomore to Self-Gov are Anita Gretz, Raulee Marcus, Claire Neely, Pinky Staman, and Martha Taft.

Three modern pieces have been chosen to complete the concert, The earliest is a base ensemble by Paul Hindemith who was com- missioned in 1932 to write enough music for an all-day music festi- val in Plon, Austria. This particu- lar bass ensemble, described by. Bryn Mawr Orchestra president Barbara Hurwitz as ‘a good- morning piece’’--she calls it very suitable for May Day, instance--is taken from the very opening of the day’s music. Aaron Copland’s ‘Outdoor Overture’? was also composed under somewhat specialized cir- cumstances, as it was written just before World War II for per- formance at the High School of Music and Art in New York City. The poster now being circulated advertising the concert , lists ‘‘Works by Emerson, Copland, and Hindemith,” the first of the ‘three Practicing for for: names certainly not as familiar as the others, This Emerson is a young American composer who studied music .at.Yale under the composer Quincy Porter, and now studies ‘and teaches in New Haven.

Goheen of Princeton Robert Goheen,. President of Princeton University and father of Trudie Goheen, ’66 has been named this year’s commencement speak- er. Born in India, Mr. Goheen was the son of medical missionaries. At 15 he came to the United States for good, After attending Lawrenceville, he graduated from Princeton with a classics major. Following his army service during World War Il, Mr. Goheen was one of the first four students to receive Woodrow Wilson Fellowships. Mr. Goheen joined the Classics Department at Princeton, where he held the post of assistant pro- fessor when he was named to the : presidency, He was 37 when selected for the office, In addition - to -his Princeton duties, Mr, Goheen works for the Ford and Carnegie Foundations. on educational matters. He has traveled extensively in the Far East for these foundations. Mr. Goheen’s primary interests at Princeton include expansion of facilities, finding quality faculty members, and raising salaries while keeping classes fairly small. He was named by Time Magazine as one of the outstanding college presidents of America in a list that included Miss McBride. The administrative. and fund- raising responsibilities of the office of President have reduced Mr. Goheen’s direct contact with students, and he misses both teach- ing and closer ties with the student body. Described as a natural athlete, Mr. Goheen spends part of his free time playing such sports as soccer, tennis, squash, and golf, Commencement exercises will be held on Erdman Green for the first time this year, abandoning the traditional site on Merion Green. Joseph Varimbi, associate . professor of chemistry, is the new faculty marshall for graduation. —" 2 i} aR i Sr COLLEGE NEWS April 8, 1966 Make-Up Editor Cecvecccdcceccacavcecveccocce cs Dariene Preissaler, THE COLLEGE NEWS bscription $3.75 — Mailing price $5.00 — Subscriptions may begin at any time Entered as second class matter at the Bryn Mawr, Pa.

We gave discussed our own opinions of the campus atmosphere and educatioral philosophy of Bryn Mawr, but we cannot determine their representative nature, What follows is an exploration of a subjective matter, We invite responses from faculty and students in the hope of expanding these feelers to an evaluation reflecting the sentiments of the college community. ? A college education must come to terms with the realities as well as the abstractions of academics. The ivory tower myth, which seems to imply a hazy freedom from any external demands, is piercttf by the inevitable entrance of exams, papers and deadlines. The response of Bryn Mawr to the mechanics of education is a ‘flexible one. Take-home exams are widely used as mid-semesters; paper dates are often molded to student convenience and crisis; many professors are willing to collaborate on the selection of exam and paper due dates, The college requirement of mid-semester grades is treated by professors with varying degrees of concern; some lament the neces- sity for any arbitrary grading system. The elimination of restrictions, idyllic as it sounds, must be a gradual process, tested at every step, The paring down of the social honor system to a core of fundamental rules illustrates the success of the trial by fire. If a core of academic rules is similarly an eventual necessity, how can this core be discovered? We suggest that each apparent restraint must be carefully examined before its overthrow is advocated, Two major reforms -- self-scheduled exams and the system of pass~-fail grades in all but major courses -- have been introduced on other campuses. Do such measures touch Bryn Mawr as distant goals or near horizons? Do they clash with our basic principles of education? Atmosphere and philosophy and principle are terms only as concrete as their functioning definitions, Their definitions at Bryn Mawr must ‘be provided by all the participants in our academia, Mix Or Match At last an end to the Bryn Mawrter’s typical complaint that ‘‘Haver- ford boys just aren’t my type’’ is in sight. Whether her preference be pin-striped, madras, fatigue, or T-shirts, the particular Bryn Mawr girl will have every chance to find it at Haverford. A recently proposed computer-matching project, organized similarly to but more efficiently than the national ‘‘Operation Match,’ will pair compatible Bryn Mawr and Haverford students, With so many Bryn Mawrter’s spending dateless nights or weekends away when Haverford is so close, the worth of the long-overdue program is obvious, The solution cannot be found in either library, in classes, or, with all due respect to the meal-exchange, in dining halls. And once the initial excitement over mixers has worn off as a freshman, the tired and discouraged upperclassmen shun such ordeals. Besides, at a mixer Haverford is often out-numbered by other men’s colleges. A plan aimed directly at increasing the number of Bryn Mawr- Haverford dates is exactly what is needed. With only a 50 cent or less fee for the processing of a questionnaire, supporting the project is well worth at least one try. The Pennsylvania Railroad may be a little . less crowded on Friday afternoons, but Harry loves a full bus, Togetherness Upon paging through our copy for this week’s NEWS, we were par- ticularly struck by activities in the arts; the Bryn Mawr-Haverford Orchestra concert, the Bryn Mawr-Haverford theater operations, and the Bryn Mawr-Haverford dance group. And we were particularly happy to observe the total aspect of bi-college coordination in these creative endeavors. Such cooperation has advantages for each school in providing a co- educational sort of atmosphere even though two individual institutions exist. It is needless to point out that this bi-college coordination extends _ well beyond the range of arts activities. seid It is hoped that Haverford and Bryn Mawr will continue this trend in the best of two possible worlds.

It seems to me that when you are ill you need food that is above the caliber of the normal dining room delicacies. Even the food in Rhoads Hall is better than the ~-e6ld, measly portions-we get trom: Erdman, Denbigh, or wherever it may be. If you happen to be. suffering from an upset stomiach, you can look forward to living on soup and saltines--no other pro- vision is made for those of us on the ‘*bland’’ diet. I can’t completely condemn the Infirmary staff, because I over- heard one of the nurses complain- ing about the quantity of food received. For example it is shock- ing when you order milk with dinner to receive half a glass, It?s a sorry state of affairs when you look forward to your saltines and juice as the best form of sustenance all day. Where are the good ol’ days when you used to be able to order London broil for every meal? If you consider that most of us get sick because we are in run-down condition--due to poor diet (and I must admit lack of sleep) it is disgusting that even in the In- firmary you can’t get decent food. What is this college coming to when the only way to get a decent meal is to buy your own, go’ away for the weekend, or wait until Sunday dinner? It is said that an army moves on its stomach; well so do the students of Bryn Mawr College. Please shape up!

Denbigh Seeks More Privacy With New Sign - Out Procedure Denbigh Hall is at presenttrail- “box and are checked accordingly. blazing’ a new sign-out system designed to maximize student pri- vacy and hall efficiency. Students devised the system ‘to - remedy the unwanted dissemina- tion of sign-out information that- continually leaked from - sign- out book. The innovation arene the tra- ditional book with three boxes marked *¢in,”” *¢out,”? and “‘over- night.’’ Each student has his own folder, complete with standard sign-out sheets. When a girl leaves for the eve- ning, she signs out on her sheet and places her folder in the appro- priate box. The ‘‘out’’ box con- tains 12:30, 2:00, and 3:30 sections. The overnight box is arranged by date of expected return, ‘ To determine whether a student is in the hall, it is necessary to consult only the ‘‘in’’ box, If her folder is not present, neither is she. When she returns, the student moves her folder back to its *‘in’’ position, At 12:30, 2, or 3:30, the door- ' keeper or lantern man can check _ the®. appropriate _. section. to. -determine which girls have not — come back, The overnight folders gradually reach the front of their Guests in the hall are supplied with individual folders and follow the same procedure. After several weeks of trial, ‘retiring hall president Susan Burk- hardt reports a majority of stu- dents in favor. These girls find that the system does protect pri- vacy, since it is unnecessary to read a sign-out to discover whether the student is out. Some girls do complain of additional bother and confusion with the new discovery. From the hall president’s per- spective, the Denbigh process fa- cilitates tallying late minutes, finding a student’s frequent sign- out errors, and other administra- tive measures.

Haverford production of UNDER MILK WOOD What began as apre- view of the play, however, unfortunately turned into that cur- rent bane of Broadway, the re- hearsal review. Even with pro- : fessional theatre, this is a dubious practice, but it is especially un- fair in this case. . Anyone who has worked on school productions knows their almost unfailing tendency to remain in a state of hopeless confusion until the last minute and then suddenly cohere into a polished whole on performance nights. Because of this, it hardly. seems pertinent to criticize a rehearsal, however close to performance time, and especially in the mournful tones your reporter adopted in the final paragraphs of her article, Although UNDER MILK WOOD had a good box office both nights of performance, your *‘preview,’’ appearing as it did Thursday night, may easily have warned many people away and certainly did little for cast morale. Finally, a production can only be judged on its actual, not its potential, merits, and even the most seasoned critic cannot know in advance what these will be. A preview is a study of technique, and is therefore a straight news article. Personal evaluation be- longs with the reviewer; before that, it is merely poor journalism. Karen Durbin, ’66 Wesleyan Group Has 8-Day Fast On Orange Juice The following story reached ‘THE COLLEGE NEWS from the Collegiate Press Ser- vices iBryn Mawr and Haver- ford seem to have set a style for expressing protest over | Vietnam, although the article gives. no_ indication that someone other than Wesleyan may have done it. == Ed. : An eight-day fast protesting U.S. action in Vietnam recently ended for New England college students. At Wesleyan University in Mfddle- town, Connecticut, about 40 stu- dents drank coffee and orange juice during the fast to keep up their strength for the eight days. “This sort of protest doesn’t alienate people who would be angered by unshaven beatniks carrying signs,’’ one of the fasters told reporters. “This is a demonstration of personal commitment which is neither fun nor easy,’ said another, Bryn Hammarstrom, a freshman who helped organize the fast at Wesleyan. The fasters, meeting only at mealtime to drink orange juice and discuss the war, generally agreed the protest was a success, In a statement of purpose, the Wesleyan students opposed es- calation of the war and called for peace negotiations including the National Liberation Front. *‘‘We see a trend in our country that frightens us,’’ the statement read, ‘‘a nation that America must ‘determine the course of the world, no matter what that means, no matter what the end. At Amherst College, about 70 students abstained from meals. Many of them even refused orange juice and vitamin pills. About 10 continued for the full eight days. Several students from the Univ- ersity of Massachusetts, Trinity College, the Hartford College for Women, . the University of Hartford, and the University of Connecticut were also fasting. & April 8, 1966 COLLEGE NEWS Page 3 University of Michigan Exchange Enthuses Seven Bryn Maurters The seven girls who returned from a week-long visit to the University of Michigan felt that their trip had been worthwhile, although they noted that many of the possibilities and problems at the University were: peculiar toa large school and could not. be related ‘di ly “to Bryn Mawr. Wednesday night in the Inn they were eager to compare im- pressions, prompted by Kitty Tay-' lor, co-chairman of the Exchange Committee, Sharon. Shelton, Nancy Owens, Judy Chapman, Liz Freedman, Marynelle Hall, Renee Allard, and Kitty Taylor spent the week of Bryn Mawr’s vacation living in different sorority houses on the University campus, They attended classes, met with professors, attended meetings of various stu- dent organizations, and most im- portant, talked informally with other students, One of the firgt things the girls admired was the*wide flexibility in scheduling which is permitted by the summer term, Those students who have heavy campus respon- sibilities, for example, can tem- porarily diminish their work load; | Job Notices Another Peace Corps placement test will be given this Saturday in Philadelphia and Norristown. Further information is posted on the bulletin board and preliminary questionnaires are available at the Bureau of Recommendations, These should be filled out and taken to the test, if not sent ahead to Washington. A placement test will also be given on the Bryn Mawr campus Saturday morning, April 30, In- terested persons should register with the Bureau. Miss Morrow from the Metro- politan Museum of Art is the only recruiting representative listed for next week. She will be on campus Monday. The Department of Nursing of - the Faculty of Medicine of Columbia University invites Bryn Mawr students to a conference April 21 between 10:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. See Mrs, Lecky for de- tails. 1966 Symposium Examines Myths John Kenneth Galbraith will be giving the keynote address at the 1966 Carolina Symposium at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, April 17-21, The symposium which involves lec- tures and discussions with guests and students, will explore the prob- lem of myth in politics, history, religion, social mores, expecially in relation to American society and modern man in general. Kit Bakke will be attending from Bryn Mawr. Among the speakers she will have the opportunity to hear and hopefully talk to are Galbraith, Daniel Boorstin, Walter Kaufmann, Nelson Algren, Al Capp, Tom Wolfe, C. Vann Woodward, Ralph Ellison, Dean Alan Richard- son and Morris K. Udall. An . examination of myth and mythology in society is necessary ‘to attain any measure of intel- lectual awareness’’ about the way a particular society operates. Myth is a powerful force, because of its simplicity and the justification it lends to a society’s pattern of existence, and it is instrumental in perpetuating that pattern and also in shaping the thoughts and values of individuals in that society. These are briefly the reasons given -by William W. -Tomford, a ‘Chairman. of - the - 1966 “Inter- 53 ‘Seminar, “for conducting this year’s Symposium as an ex- amination of myth in its various ‘roles. Marynelle Hall and Liz Freedman, two student exchanges with the University of Michigan, discuss their éxperiences at Wednesday night’s meeting. those who are taking programs which ordinarily require more than four years can go faster without’ having to take on a crushing academic load at any time, At Michigan, if a student has a high enough average and is *‘cul- tured’? he is eligible for the ‘*honors’? dorm where there are ‘ more singles. The Bryn Mawr girls were particularly enthusiastic about this dorm; they found the students ‘‘easier to talk to,’ *‘more interesting,’? and not at all snobbish. Their attitude towards academic work seemed to be closer to that at Bryn Mawr. Social rules are more liberal at Michigan than at Bryn Mawr: there are no dress rules, sign outs are simpler and_ the attitude towards them is more casual, juniors and seniors have no curfews. According tothe girls, the system appears to function smoothly, Student government at Michigan seems to. run into many of the same snags as it doeshere, apathy in particular; 15% of the student body votes in elections. Never- theless, Michigan students seem to *¢talk more’’ and mingle more freely than Bryn Mawr girls, and of course there is a great deal more going on on campus. On a typical Thursday night, for example, there was a concert, a movie, and six lectures. _ As at Bryn Mawr, courses seemed to vary over a wide range. Big lecture courses are broken down into sections for discussion but these are often led by graduate students and “that makes a dif- ference,’’ On the other hand, some girls felt that it was easier to get to know the faculty and to talk to them about non-academic subjects. One girl described a class at a teacher’s house and noted that after the class, a number Speaker In Favor Of Revising Creed Of Presbyterianism Edward A. Dowey, Jr., Th. D., a visiting lecturer in history, will deliver an Interfaith lecture next Thursday on ‘‘Revising the Creed for Contemporary Man.’’ The lecture will take place at 5:00 p.m. in the Common Room. Mr. Dowey was the leader of a recent Presbyterian movement to change the basis of the West- . minster creed. His proposal is known as the ‘‘Confession of 1967’?--and has been called almost as revolutionary as some of the constitutional renewals of Vatican Il. His talk Thur will concern the necessity for such a change and its progress so far. Mre. Dowey currently teaches a ” graduate seminar on the Reforma- tion. He is regularly on the faculty of the Princeton Theological Seminary. of students remained for over an hour, had coffee and chatted with the professor. The exchange students were par- ticularly enthusiastic about the University of Michigan Daily. The first three pages contain general, news (they have an Associated Press machine) as well as im- portant campus events, so that one can easily keep up with important news on and off campus without having to wade through the less relevant local news inacity paper. In general, the girls had a chance to consider what is necessary for an optimum relationship between student and campus, student and dorm, student and professor. The trip illustrated too the values of a small school which Bryn Mawr should take advantage of and the disadvantages it can try to com- pensate for. The exchange students are looking forward eagerly to the return visit of the Michigan stu- dents the first week in'May. ‘Little Theatre ’ Is Organized, Expects To Produce Comedies The past week has been one of intense activity in the area of campus dramatics. For one thing, it has seen the formation of **Little Theatre,’’ a completely student-run, student - directed organization. : £ Little Theatre is the culmination ~ of at least t ears of dis- cussion on the’desirability of such a group. The principal argument. for its existence, according to Pam Barald and Lessie Klein (who are serving as something of production managers), is the fact of College Theatre’s producing no comedies. For a good number of actors and actresses whose chief talent lies in comedy, therefore, the only opportunity for its exercise must of necessity be in student pro- ductions. In addition, there area number of technical people who would prefer devoting their energies to comedies because of the fun of the work. Mr. Silvera Wins Fulbright Award Mr. Alan Silvera of the History Department has received a Ful- bright, or a grant under the State Department’s international educa- tional and cultural exchange pro- gram, for the year 1966-67. His grant is in the form of a lectureship, He will be teaching history in France at the University of Lille, The program permits foreign and United States citizens to study, lecture, and conduct research in different countries, Its aim is to promote mutual understanding be- tween nations and to allow a shar- ing of the educational and cultural resources of the world. Bequest Committee Cites Two Needs For Funds The Alumnae Bequest Com- mittee met in the Common Room Tuesday to resume its function after being held in abeyance tem- porarily during the Ford program in. 1962-65, when the emphasis was on cash in immediate gifts. The Bequest Committee orig- inated in 1954 and in ten years, just under six million dollars has come to the college through bequests. Since July 1, 1965 bequests in the amount of $1,380,000 have been reported. In 1955 the Bequest Committee was first organized under a class program, with the class of 1925, Miss McBride’s class, being the pioneer. After that, each class at the time of its 30th reunion sends letters asking for bequests. In 1956 Miss Marion Park, former president of Bryn Mawr, and Mrs. Talbot Aldrich, ’05, member of the Board of Directors and the Central Bequest Com- mittee, wrote letters concerning bequests to members of the first 20 graduating classes. Between 1956-1961 all the re- maining classes through 1933 set up class bequest committees. Margaret Tyler Paul, ’22, was appointed chairman of the Bequest Committee in July and presided at Tuesday’s meeting, to which all classes through 1934 were invited, with only four unrepresented. Miss McBride spoke at the meeting, and emphasized two particular financial needs of the college: in the areas of special bequests and unrestricted be- _quests, She pointed out what bene- fits. special bequests have.done for departments, citing especially the Riegel Bequest for Archaeology and the recent Ida H. Ogilvie Bequest for Geology. Included in the $1,380,000 re- ported since July 1, 1965 are three major bequests. Katrina Ely Tif- fany, °97, through her estate de- signated $100,000 for the Alumnae Association, Ruth Tuttle, °15, ina bequest of $300,000 provided a Salary and Pension Fund for the Bryn Mawr faculty. Leslie Clark, 704, left the college her house in Georgetown and a residuary gift estimated at $700,000, the major part of which will be used to establish the Leslie Clark Pro- fessorship in the Humanities, i) Kay Ford Chosen By Glamour Staff For August Issue Kay Ford, BMC’s entry in Glamour magazine’s annual con- test, has been named one of 14 honorable mention winners chosen from. among 346 entrants in the best- dressed college girl com- petition. The judging was done by a panel of Glamour editors on the basis of three full-length photos of each girl, showing her in ‘‘typical cam- pus’’ attire, a cocktail dress, and off-campus day-time wear, anda questionnaire dealing with such things as the candidate’s off- campus interests. In Kay’s case, these latter include harness horses, riding, and fox hunting. From 25 semi-finalists the top ten were selected. Each of these will receive a personal gift from the editors of Glamour and an expense-paid trip to New York. ‘All 25--the top ten and those with honorable mention will have their pictures in the August issue of Glamour and all will receive a certificate from the magazine. Pam expresses the conviction that there is a considerable amount of dramatic talent on the Bryn Mawr and Haverford campuses remaining untapped by the College Theatre productions. She hopes to see Little Theatre expand over the next year to become a true complement to College Theatre. Little Theatre has just received royalty confirmation for its first production, ‘‘The Man Who Came to Dinner,’’ to be given Thursday, May 12, in Skinner Workshop. One of the main reasons for the selection of this play was its large cast, particularly suitable in view of the fact that College Theatre’s spring production has a cast of only five persons. They are planning a simple set, but it is anticipated that, by the time of the production, Skinner will be somewhat refurbished. The work- shop is to be painted next week, and wiring is to be installed for a new circuit for lights. Try-outs for **The Man Who Came to Din- ner’’ will be held within the next— week. While it was originally announced that the Little Theatre production would be ‘‘Auntie Mame,’’ they were unable to go through with it because of a con- current Broadway musical pro- duction entitled ‘*‘Mame,”’’ Despite all this branch activity, the primary organization of Col- lege ‘Theatre has been busy too. New officers have been elected; they are: President--Nimet Ha- bachy, *67; Vice-President--Judy Chapman, ’67; Production Man- ager--Janet Ohle, ’67; Publicity Manager--Betsy Kreeger, ’68; Treasurer--Ann Stehney, ’68, In addition, the cast has been selected for the spring production of Eugene O’Neill’s **Long Day’s Journey Into Night.’’ They are: Steve Bennett, Margaret Edwards, Munson Hicks, Chuck Strang, and Jane Taylor. Mawrters Invited To Penn Program Concerning China Bryn Mawr students have been invited to attend a national con- ference on ‘*The United Nations and China’’ at the University of Pennsylvania April 15-17, Keynote speaker at the confer- ence will be Felix Greene, des- cribed by the conference sponsors as ‘fonly American-based corres- pondent to gain entry into Com- munist China more than once,’’ Mr. Greene has written several books on China, interviewed Chou En-lai and other top Communist leaders, and two years ago pro- duced the documentary film ‘¢China !?’ Among the featured speakers will be Rhoads Murphey, who is the father of Kathy Murphey, ’69. He is also a Professor of Asian Studies at the University of Michi- gan, and a former editor of the Journal of Asian Studies; he will deliver **A Critique of American Policy’ on China’’ as the closing speech of the conference, Other speakers include David Dean, Assistant Secretary of State in charge of the Office of Asian Communist Affairs; Allyn Rickett, Professor of Oriental Studies at Penn, who lived in China during the Communist Revolution and is an avowed critic of administration China policy; and (tentatively) Robert Strausz-Hupé, Professor of Political Science at Penn’s Foreign Policy Research Institute and an advisor: ‘to Goldwater in 1964." : Prospective delegates should contact Mr. Kennedy of the Politi- cal Science Department for further information Page 4 COLLEGE NEWS April 8, 1966 igh a Cameras - Projectors - Screens Strindberg’ 3 The Stronger Te Main Performance of Miss Julie by Roberta Smith, “68 August Strindberg’s ‘The Stronger,’’ presented as:a curtain opener to the Southwark Company’s presentation of his ‘‘Miss Julie’’ at the’ Theatre of the Living Arts in Philadelphia, proved to be in fact a far stronger production than the main performance. “The Stronger” is a strange power struggle between two actresses, one married and one unmarried--for while one carries on arunning attempt at conversa- tion, the other remains silent throughout the play. The decision of which is the stronger is left to the viewer, and would seem to depend largely upon the acting and characterization of the play. Arnette Jens, as. the silent actress, seems like a snake hyp- notising her prey--and succeeds Almost in hypnotising the audience as well, drawing the eye of the viewer to hef expression and movement, She betrays herself by this very activity, however, for once her prey has discovered a weak spot, her silence becomes helpless and almost pitiable. The other actress (Flora Elkins) is quick to seize her advantage, and in my opinion emerges as the stronger--but the play is well worth seeing to judge for yourself. **Miss Julie’’ is‘a difficult pro- duction, since it must be sustained through a long Single dct. The subtleties of characterization which make such sustained presen- tation possible seem to have escap- ed the Southwark company. The tension and tedium of an all-night stand should be heighten- ed by. the lack of breaks in the play, but in this performance the only quality which comes across is boredom. The acting is spotty, although often good; the fault lies rather in the characterization; Jean, play- ed by Anthony Zerbe, the valet who consorts with his mistress, In and Around eve Ins Spring is. here. Who wants to sit in a stuffy concert hall listening to Weber’s Abu Hassan Overture, or in a noisy museum hearing a lecture on Venetian Painting of the Rococo Age? With this in mind, the listings of events of interest In and Around Philadelphia will be replaced this week by a special listing of entertainment which takes place right out in the healthful fresh air, All the following begir. at 7 p.m DRIVE-IN MOVIES ‘Queen of Blood,’ ‘‘The Nakéd Prey,’’ and ‘‘Blood Bath, se gk Shock Show’? -- featuring ‘‘Cornel (sic) Wilde, Alone, Against the Wilderness’ -- in “Blood Color,’ is being presented at a number of theaters in the area, including the Ridge Pike Drive-In in Conshohocken, the Main Line Drive-In west of Wayne on Route 30, and the 202 Drive-In on Route 202, four miles south of West Chester, Most of these feature electric in-car heaters, and children are generally admitted free. The 61st Street Drive-In at Jerry’s Corner just off the Schuylkill Expressway at 61st and Passayunk Streets (SA 7-1222)charges only $1.00 a carload. ‘‘Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine,’ starring Vincent Price and Susan Hart, will be the major attraction at the Bucks County Drive-In on Route 611, five miles north of Willow Grove.

Miss Julie (Lois Smith) is vague -and rather detached, her lines are often flat and, most amazing of all, she survives a shodisch, se- duction, and goes off quietly to suicide with never a hair of her neat coiffure disturbed. All of the actors have moments which are excellent; and ‘‘Miss Julie’? remains a fascinating play. Strindberg’s characters struggle in a web from which they cannot escape, the same strange vying for power which is so evident in ‘‘The Stronger’’ emerges more subtly in **Miss Julie’’--it is un- fortunate that the excellent per- formance and presentation of the curtain raiser could not be main- tained in this play. : by Emily McDermott, ‘68 There are few plays that a re- viewer feels justified in recom- mending without reservations, Despite its title (one always feels a little silly repeating it), ‘*Wait a Minim?’ is sucha rarity. This play, which came to Broadway from South Africa via Rhodesia and Lon- don, is not really a play and not really a revue, It was dubbed a **musical entertainment” by its originator and director, Leon Gluckman, Indeed, it is an arrest- ing collection of folk music of all nationalities, strung together with first-rate comedy and satire. There is no plot.to the play: the comic scenes are almost en- tirely independent of each other, Taken together, the satires on different national characters con- vey a definitely internationalistic message. But this message is delivered so wittily and even non- chalantly that it successfully avoids the taint of. moralism. The tone of the humor is set even in the first song when, amidst the African lyrics, one singer (impersonating a native) is heard chanting: ‘*We bring greetings to Sammy Davis, A Je ed Merion To Sponsor Egg Roll For Faculty Kids On Sunday This Sunday afternoon, Merion Green will be swarming with mil- lions of little kids with sticky hands clutching Easter eggs and beady eyes searching for still hid- den ones, It’s the annual Faculty Childrens’ Easter Egg Roll given by Merion Hall every Easter, It involves ‘games and punch and cookies and eggs and kids and parents and fun and prizes, and it has been happening for years and years. Last year, Harriet Leach was the leader of the pack. This year, in addition to the children and their parents, say the Merion social chairmen, members are invited, whether or. not they have children that can.come: As last year, there will be two fields of hidden eggs, one for the bigger kids and one for the South Africa’s ‘Wait a Wins Recommendation The cast of eight (five men and three women) change nationalities ' by changing hats and/or costumes. They sing and dance with unflag- ging energy and a generally ir- reverent attitude: the Germans are caricatured as_ carefree, goose-stepping guitar-players in Lederhosen; the Frenchmanis torn by conflicting love for a beautiful girl and for his bicycle; a frustrated tuba-player thumbs his nose at the audience; and young love is foiled by the noise of the Scots guards, There are a few scenes which have no relevance whatsoever to the rest of the play. One of the best is called ‘‘Sir Oswald Sodde’’ and is set in a medieval castle. In it, horses with web feet march on and off the stage in a slapstick scene worthy ofthe Marx Brothers, and a medieval matron bemoans the’ fact that her husband has gone off to war and lost the key to her chastity belt. The satire and humor are sup- plemented by scenes which con- stitute the antithesis of comic relief. These are quiet and simple renditions of a number of folk songs, among them ‘Dirty Old SHE: Look, isn’t your mother’s peace of mind worth 45c? HE: I’m not sure. SHE: 0.K.—then call collect. r ry Some things you just can't put a price on—but do phone home often. Your cessor ae to. sigh “that all's’ well: thx: The Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania iN little ones. This is so the big kids won’t be grabbing up all the obvious eggs before the little ones can find any. There are prizes for the gold and silver egg. Because of the money involved, there may be more candy eggs than real ones, So that more can be hidden, The kids (but maybe not their | mothers) will probably like this revision. Because of kids like Harriet Leach the Merion Easter Egg Roll is undoubtedly more fun than the White House Egg Roll. So if any student is tired of studying around three o’clock Sunday afternoon and hasn’t been babysitting in a while and misses her little brother or sister, this is a wonderful opportunity to socialize with the younger set as well as try to guess whose children they may be. Minim!’ as Rarity Town,” ‘I Gave my Love a Cherry,’’ and ‘‘Johnny Soldier.’’ The cast itself is masterful. Kendrew Lascelles and Michel Martel are comic geniuses: Ken- drew is a sad sort of clown with a sneer that can be seen from the back row of the balcony. Michel is especially comical as the per- secuted South African native. April Olrich, who formerly danced with the Royal Ballet, effectively paro- dies national folk dances, Paul Tracey, who could perhaps be considered the predominant figure in the cast, is notable for both his musical and satirical skill. The music, arranged and di- rected by Andrew Tracey, is bril- liant, It is executed by nearly 30-instruments, among them many native African ones. The choreog- raphy, by Frank Staff and Ken- drew Lascelles, is equally exciting. ‘ In short, ‘‘Wait a Minim!’ is a musical as well as a comic mas- terpiece -- a rarity on Broadway, and indeed anywhere, YOU CAN EARN UP TO 14 HOURS OF COLLEGE CREDIT WHILE STUDYING “THIS SUMMER IN THE NATION’S CAPITAL AT THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY A program designed to make the unparalleled resources of Washington, D.C. available to students in other colleges and universities.

Instead they were promised that their mixer, to take place April 8, could go on until 2:00 instead of the usual 12:30, But this also ¢ WZ BRYN MAWR TRUST presented a problem because Mer- ion could not afford to have a band for five hours. Then the admin- istration informed the dorm that it could not possibly have a mixer on Good Friday. So it changed it to the following Friday, April 18. But it still didn’t have a band. Then along came Haverfordwith a survey taken before Spring Vacation. According to 250 Hav- erfordians, they would rather. have a mixer with Bryn Mawr than with any other school around. To emphasize the importance of this, the Bryn Mawr mixer rated 2.2 on a 1-7 scale and a juke box in Union was 2.02, the highest rating received. ‘Handiest Way to Bank! —— CHECKING ACCOUNT COMPANY The Main Line's Own Bank HAVERFORD - BRYN MAWR - WAYNE | The University of Pennsylvania gives you a choice of 324 courses this summer.
