Havelock Poses
Theory of Art,
Ideals of Plato

Horace White Lecturer
Shows Ambiguity
In ‘Republic’

“How could such a supreme art-
ist of the written word as Plato
turn against poetry?” asked Mr.
Eric A. Havelock, Horace White
Memorial Lecturer, Monday eve-
ning at 8:15 in Goodhart.

Mr. Havelock, Professor of Greek
and Latin at Harvard University,
analyzed Plato’s apparent ambigu-
ity concerning poetry in The Re-
public. A confusion in Plato’s
ideas actually existed, Mr. Have-
lock asserted, but it existed rather
in historical fact than in Plato’s
mind, as a crisis in the develop-
ment of Greek culture brought
about by the transition from the
oral to the written word.

The ambiguity of Plato hinges
on his use of two definitions of the
word “mimetic” without separating
them in his own mind. The first
definition regards “mimetic” as
assimilating oneself to character-
ization—in modern language, emo-

tional identification—which he sus-|

pects because he believes it has
pathelogical effects.

However, in the tenth book,
Plato describes “mimetic” as some-
thing different from emotional
identification.. He regards it rather
as liberal representations of ap-
pearances, whether or not emotion-
al identification occurs. All poetry
is regarded as a vehicle for report-
ing the world of opinion. It is an un-
acceptable vehicle because it is not
scientific, abstract, and objective.
Plato finds a scientific, acceptable
vehicle in analytic description and
classification of phenomena.

Joined Orchestras
Perform ‘Don Juan’
Directed hy Reese

by Maryellen Fullam, ’56

The combined orchestras of Bryn
Mawr, Haverford, and Drexel In-
stitute of Technology presented an
especially good festival concert
Friday evening under the direction
of William Reese.

In comparison to the other ap-
pearances which the orchestra has
made this year (accompanying the
Chorus concerts), Friday evening’s
program was far superior, The
great difference was due in part to
the hard work of both musicians
and director; however, the success
must be attributed mainly to the
added instruments of the Drexel
group which swelled the size of
orchestra, lending the volume and
tone quality which the Bryn Mawr-

Haverford contingent lacked by”

itself.

The program opened with the
overture to the ballet Don Juan by
Gluck, one of the better numbers
done by the orchestra. A group
of gay Rumanian folk songs by
Bela Bartok followed the overture.
The third dance contained a flute
solo performed with a good deal
of sensitivity by David Hogenauer
of Haverford.

An interesting note was added

to the concert-by-a trio for flute,
clarinet, and horn from William
Blake, composed by Harrison
Draper (Haverford, ’55). The
musicians were David Hogenauer,
flute; Louis Thomas, clarinet;
Harrison Draper, horn.
_The featured work, Handel’s
Music for the Royal Fireworks, was
somewhat of a disappointment. Al-
though the piece was well executed
on the whole, the brass section was
weak, despite the able support of
the principal trumpeter, Samuel
Krauss, of the Philadelphia Or-
chestra.

By far the outstanding selection

LC.G. Conference Discusses Politics,
Practices Planning And Voting Bills

A study in parliamentary pro-
cedure and the various stages of
politics was provided for all mem-
bers of the Intercollegiate Confer-
ence on Goverment on Saturday at
West Chester State Teachers Col-
lege. The event was the regional

a “twin” of the state government.

Early in the morning, after the
representatives of nine schools
had registered, Dr. Charles Swope,
president of State Teachers (Col-

mally, with a speech about the
purposes of ICG and some back-
ground information about the set-
ting.

Next on the agenda was the
meeting of various committees,

among them Education, Civil
Rights, Health and Welfare,
Transportation and Commerce,

Agriculture, etc. At these meet-
ings, which lasted about two and
a half hours, the committee mem-
bers brought up any bills they had
planned. After proper amending
the bill was either passed by the
committee or killed. Each com-
mittee was allowed to present

three bills. Once the committees



were gathered again in the Me-
morial Library (where the gen-
eral session was held), officers for
this year’s conference were elect-
ed. Mike Shaw of Haverford was
chosen chairman, and his slate con-
sisted of Ed Becker of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, Parliamen-
tarian; Joe Willard of Drexel and
Bob Porter of State Teachers Col-
lege, Sergeants-at-Arms; Natalie
Fasick of Bryn Mawr, Timer, and
Claire Weigand of Bryn Mawr,
Clerk.

The most important business of
the meeting was transacted when
the committees presented their
bills to the legislature for voting.
Two’ committees — State Govern-
ment and National Resources —
were headed by Bryn Mawr girls,
Dorothy Newbegin and Liz War-
ren. The voting tended to be in
blocks, so that nearly all the
“ayes” came from one side of the
room, all the “nays” from the



year-olds and enforcing a Fair
Employment Practices Commission
in Pennsylvania.

Historian Relates
Mediaeval Athens
With Archaeology

“T want to deal with the subject
of mediaeval Athens and modern
archaeology ... a debased sub-
ject,” began Kenneth M. Setton of
the University of Pennsylvania,
giving the Classics Club lecture in
the Common Room Thursday eve-
ning.

Quoting the humorist Osbert
Lancaster, who described the
archaeologist’s job in Athens as
tearing down the Turkish quarter
to get at the older ruins, Mr. Set-
ton declared that most of today’s
rubble dates from the Greek revo-
lution. The destroyed buildings
remain in photographs; “little has
been lost and a great deal found.”

Ancient and mediaeval history has
been rewritten from the work still
being so carefully and meticulously
done in Athens. It is modern
archaeology which points out the
connection between Athens and
Christianity.

Pottery, coins, and successive
road levels all help supply part
of the story leading up to the
Turkish period. Coins, stamped
with emperor’ images, serve to
date walls or buildings in which
they are found. Gold and silver
coins are not discovered so often—
perhaps because when a man loses
a valuable coin he doesn’t stop
searching until it is found.

Miss Sarton, Poet
Accepts Fellowship
For Creative Work

May Sarton, American novelist
and poet, has been awarded wie
Lucy Martin Donnelly leliowsaip
for 1953-1954. It is a tellowsiip
of $3000 given to further creative
writing or research in the human-
ities.

Lucy Martin Donnelly was a
member of the Bryn Mawr faculty
for many years. From 1911 to
1936 she was head of the English
department and encouraged crea-
tive writing and research among
her students. An inspiring and
delightful person, she was well
known in literary circles and be-
loved by all those with whom she
came in contact—both her students
and her colleagues.

The fellowship was awarded to
Miss Sarton on the basis of her
distinction in creative writing. She
has written several books of poetry
which include Encounter in April,
Inner Landscape, and The Lion
and the Rose. Some of her best-
known novels are The Single
Hound, Bridge of Years, and
Shadow of a Man. Miss Sarton
was born in Belgium, the daughter
of the eminent scientific historian,
George Sarton. Educated in Cam-
bridge, Massachusetts, she came to
know Boston well—a fact which is

refiected in much of her work.

After a few years as an apprentice
at Eva LeGalliene’s Civic Reper-
tory Theatre, she began to write
and made creative work her career.

The holder of the fellowship is
expected to reside at Bryn Mawr
for some portion of the academic
year, but will have no academic
duties and may fill no requirements
toward any academic degree. The
award was open to citizens of the

United States and the British
Commonwealth. Established in
1949, it was first awarded to Eliza-
beth Bishop in 1951,



Mr. Saltonstall

Talks on Peace
And World War

Massachusetts Senator
Cites Expense

Of Arms

The problems faced by the new
Administration and the steps it is
taking to overcome the state of
tension in the world today formed
the emphasis of Senator Leverett
Saltonstall’s speech at the Third
Alliance Assembly for 1952-1953,
on Friday, March 18, at 12:30 in
Goodhart.

Senator Saltonstall, Senior
United States Senator from Mass-
achusetts, listed two main causes
for tension in the world today. The
first is men’s inability to get along
with one another, and the second,
the spirit of nationalism which has
arisen in countries such as Africa.

Analyzing the sources of ten-
sion for the American people, the
Senator pointed out that the Ko-
rean War, with its great monetary
and human cost, has contributed
greatly to our anxiety. The war
has increased the feeling of in-
security among young people, for
their future plans must remain un-
certain. Further sources of in-
ternal tension in the United States
have been discrimination and intol-
erance.

To relieve tension, we must take
certain steps. First, we must
realize that the United Nations
was set up to maintain, and not
to obtain_peace..__The_administra-
tion, through Henry Cabot Lodge,
the new representative to the U.N.,
is trying to make the U.N. success-
ful until it is apparent that other
nations are not willing to help

themselves. The United States has

Senator Saltonstall Answers Query

On Several Current Politics Issues

Senator Leverett Saltonstall an-
swered questions on political issues
in a discussion group held in
Rhoads on Friday. He also ex-

plained some of the committees in|

which he is taking part, their
functions and their goals.

The senator from Massachusetts
gave his opinions on many poli-
tical problems from Communist
China to the St. Lawrence Water-
way. He answered questions con-
cerning the TVA, which he thinks
was very helpful in solving the de-
pression, and the Selective Serv-

‘| ice, which he thinks has a good and

very essential system. In reply to
another question, he remarked that
President Eisenhower’s relations
with his Congress are excellent,
and will probably continue to be
80.
When asked about the long fili-
buster against which he has been
working, he told a story about a
debate on Chapmans Prayer. The
debate had been going on for three
weeks, when finally the senator
who had made the motion stood
up, dressed in a white tie and tails,
and said, “I believe . . . (the mo-
tion) is now understood by every-
body and I withdraw it.”



Senator Saltonstall was then

-asked to explain the function and

problems of some of the commit-
tees to which he belongs. He ex-
plained that the Armed Service
Committee, of which he is the
head, is mainly investigatory; as
he had mentioned in his speech,
the total cost of munitions was
unbelievable. He is on the Ap-
propriations Committee which en-
tails his being a member of five
sub-committees and the head of
one. In this connection, his com-
mittee covers the Atomic Bomb,
the Veterans Administration, the
ICC, and the FCC.

When asked about the chances
of there being a third world war,
Senator Saltonstall said, “That de-
pends on your generation.” He
added that there is little danger
if we “build up our military
strength, build up our industrial
strength, and keep up our moral
courage.”

Senator Saltonstall remarked
that Bryn Mawr’s campus was one
of the nicest he had ever seen in
a college. He also said that some
of the questions asked were among
the most perceptive and intelligent
he had heard!

BMC Elects: Price
Leader Of Alliance

Pembroke? Not in. Library?
Nowhere to be seen. Class? Too
late for classes. Hiding? Perhaps!
To the utter despair of journalists
on campus, Patsy Price, the new
President of the Alliance simply
was in the realm of the unfindable.

We therefore, in the absence of
the real live subject, print all
available information, gathered
from various and sundry sources
(unrevealed).

She is majoring in English, was
recently named first Bryn Mawr
student to receive the newly-
established fund in Katharine Hep-
burn’s name, and has a quiet but
avid interest in the situation po-
litical. Current Events, of which
she has been in charge this year,
has moved from the realm of the
purely political—speakers have in-
cluded scholars of Greek, philoso-
phy, and psychology.

Her future plans for the Alli-
ance are unrevealed, but it is safe
to predict that they will be both
interesting and stimulating. But
she is very hard to find—there she
goes now, from Current Events
probably to a rehearsal of “The
Trojan Horse.” After that — the
Alliance will occupy her time and
ker thoughts to an even greater
degree than it has this year, thus
far. And that is saying something!

Bryn Mawr Elects
Common Treasurer

Jessica Dragonette is a math
major—a singularly appropriate
interest for the newly-chosen Com-
mon Treasurer of Bryn Mawr Col-
lege. It is also notable that Jess
belongs to the realm of the now-

Lily Ross Taylor

_In recognition of her outstanding work in classical stud-
ies, Lily Ross Taylor has been appointed a member of the Ro-
man Pontifical Academy of Archaeology—the fourth woman
Up to the

sor of Latin at Bryn Mawr since 1927 and Dean of the Gradu-
ate School of the College since 1942.

A distinguished scholar and an authority on Roman civi-
lization and literature, Miss Taylor is well-known both
through her work in this country and abroad and through
her publications. She received her A. B. from the Univer-

sity of Wisconsin in 1906 and after further work—including

some study abroad at the American. Academy in Rome—

received her Ph. D. from Bryn Mawr in 1912.

Since then her work in Classical Studies has brought
honors and many new opportunities for service. During
World War II Miss Taylor held the position of principal so-
cial science analyst for the Office of Strategic Services. She
accepted the post of Sather Professor of Classical Literature
at the University of California for one semester in 1947, and
two years ago received the honorary degree of Doctor of Lit-

erature from the University of Wisconsin. Last year she re-

ceived a Guggenheim Fellowship and is now acting as Profes-
sor in charge of Classical Studies at the American Academy
in Rome.

Largely—but not exclusively—devoted to Christian ar-
chaeology, the Academy is a papal archaeological society at-
tached to the Vatican. It consists of forty distinguished
Italian archaeologists and seventy-eight foreign correspond-

Ing members—among them Dr. Rhys Carpenter of Bryn
Mawr.

Now at home and abroad Miss Taylor is ranked with the
deans of historians. Retirement has not ceased her activi-

_ fies but rather increased her interests. Today she is contin-

to learn and to teach—now at the American Academy

Non Reses, who c inly have
made their mark on the campus.
Jess succeeds Cynthia Wyeth who
is also Non Res, and is president
of that group for the next term of
office.

But that is another story -—
Jessica learned of the election be-
fore her Verse Composition class,
and is to be excused if not too at-
tentive during same. After all,
monetary affairs are not entirely
compatible with verse, and Jess
theoretically will be one of the
wealthiest women on campus.

What is it like to Non-Res?
“Well, not as remote as you might
think — after all, we are here a
good bit of the time!” She retains
discreet silence in the face of the
inevitable razzing about All That
Money—perhaps this is the place
for the poet rather than the math
major. But if a happy face and
pink camelias are her signs of of-
fice, the college has little to worry
about.

Book Room Shows
Auden Manuscripts

Original manuscripts and first
editions of W. H. Auden’s works
are on display in the Rare Book
Room of the Library. This exhibit
includes manuscript notes for The
Double Man, the poet’s notebooks,
and Thornton Wilder’s commentar-
ies on Auden.

Mr. Auden, born in England in
1907, was educated at Oxford and
is now a citizen of the United
States. His works include The
Double Man and The Age of Anx-
iety, which won a Pulitzer Prize.

Among the first editions exhib-
ited are autographed copies, Eng-
lish editions, and one of a limited
edition privately owned by Miss
Caroline Newton, Class of 1914.
Miss Newton, a friend of W. H.
Auden’s and a member of the Rare
Book Committee, has lent the Li-





Molly A. Plunkett
Heads the League

“I know - - - the first thing that
you'll want to know is what my
first reaction was!” cried Molly
Plunkett, newly-elected President
of the Bryn Mawr League. “What
would you say if I told you that I
screamed?” She did not, of course,
but the reply-before-the-question
was a most effective squelch.

“I hope that this will be a good
year for the League, and that we’ll
be able to put several projects into
operation—that will sound vague
on paper, but we’ll just work away,
and let the college see the results!”

The Bryn Mawr Summer Camp
has been one of Molly’s chief inter-
ests, as has ‘Weekend Work Camp.
She recently has begun to work at
the Child Study Institute—‘I don’t
know who learns more”—and may
ibe found almost any day of the
week engrossed in the life and
work of the three-year-old.

Molly is a member of Chorus,
and is co-chairman of that grow-

ing Bryn Mawr institution, the Li-}

brary Council. League activities
are somehow a part of her daily
living, however—they fall almost
out of the range of* extra-curricu-
lar. A most appropriate scheme
of things for this new president.

Bobbie Olsen Wins
As A.A. President

“Tt must have been the sweetest-
smelling laboratory period ever
spent at Park,” stated Bobbie Ol-
sen, recalling the setting of her
discovery that. she had become the
new Athletic Association Presi-
dent. “I was so nervous when I
saw the flowers that I hardly knew
what I was experimenting with.
All Emmy and I could say to each
other was “Congratulations ...
thank you... ” etc. “All the
chemical reactions came _ out
wrong.” So to lessen the danger
of an explosion because of her ex-
citement, Bobbie treated her lab-
mates to tea.

Park, and an organic chemistry
class, was the appropriate place
for her to learn of her election, for
her great interest in the Athletic
Association is surpassed only by
her enthusiasm about her goal: to
become a doctor. To attain this
ambition she is majoring in bi-
ology.

Most of Bobbie’s summers have
been spent at summer school or
traveling. Her traveling has been
extensive; actually she is away
from home a good part of the time
because she lives at quite a dis-
tance from Bryn Mawr — the
Philippines.

“Dra Mu” Presents

Opera and Dances

“A Musical Melange” is the pre-
sentation of the Dra Mu Opera
Company on Wednesday, March 25,
at 8:30 in Goodhart Hall. The
production will feature the Dra
Mu Chorus with its operatic prin-
cipals and the John Hines Com-
‘pany in ethnic and modern dances.

Prayer from “Cavalleria Rusti-
cana,” three selections by Verdi
(as sung by Eloise Owens) and
Rossini”’s Largo (sung by George
Dorsey) will be the featured selec-
tions.

The Opera Company is ‘com-
posed of a group of Negro non-
professional working people and a
few professional singers. During
the year they devote one night a
week to rehearsal, presenting an
opera in the fall at the Academy
of Music. This year their produc-
tion was an English translation of
Samson and Delilah, strikingly
performed and costumed.

Tickets are $1.20 each and may
be obtained on campus from Eliza-
beth Jones, Mrs. Louise Jones and
Mrs. James Ashe.



Current Events
Mr. J. Adams Reveals

Authoritarianism,
Democracy

AUTHORITARIANISM AND
DEMOCRACY, or “the concept of
the authoritarian personality in re-
lation to those aspects of a society
which make possible the develop-
ment of the productive self-realiz-
ing potentialities of the individual
as long as that expression does not
fairly directly interfere with the

rexpression of others”—this was

the topic of the Current Events
lecture on Monday evening, March
18. Dr. Joe Kennedy Adams, As-
sistant Professor of Bryn Mawr’s
Psychology Department, gave the
address.

“The concept of the authoritar-
ian personality is not an isolated
concept but an integral part of
much of psychoanalytic theory.” It
is rarely a set of concepts and hy-
potheses which grew out of this
theory.

Historical Development

Dr. Adams traced the historical
development of this authoritarian
theory from its origin in the de-
velopment of Fascism in Germany
and Italy and the failure of Com-
munism in Soviet Russia to fulfill
its promises such as “the withering
away of the state and a develop-
ment of individual freedom.”

The principal exponents of the
theory were Erich Fromm who
stressed as the underlying causes
an “unbearable aloneness” and an
escape from insecurity, and Wil-
helm Reich who emphasized the ir-
fluence of a child’s interpretation
of his parents’ discipline as that
of “arbitrary giants”.

Too Much Pressure

‘When too much pressure from
repressions is exerted, various er-
uptions of the stratified personal.
ity occur. The personality struc-
ture, instead of being “similar to
a regular onion, becomes more like
that of a freak artichoke”. Nine
characteristic eruptions occur al-
most simultaneously:

1) Authoritarian Submission —
the uncritical submission towards
idealized mora] authorities;

2) Rigid Conventionality—‘rigid
adherence to conventionalized val-
ues”;

4) Authoritarian Projectivity—
the perception of “wild and danger-
ous events” in the world corres-
ponding to inexplicable thoughts
in the individual’s mind;

5) Exaggerated Sexual Con-
cern—Aggression and Projectivity
are especially evidenced in anxiety
over sexual misbehaviors;

6) Anti-Intraception—the rejec-
tion of anything subjective, imag-
inative, and psychological;

7) Supernaturalism—the belief
in “mystical determinants of the
individual’s fate’ due to lack of
connection with the dominating
factors in hig own life;

8) Power Complex—the super
concern with stable relations and
the categorizing of relations in
terms of “dominant-recessive” etc.;

9) General iAggression — the
agreement with cliches degrading
humanity.

In conclusion Dr. Adams said:
“There is no economic selution
alone. The real solution is in the
rearing of children not by repres-
sion of impulses but by assuring
their understanding of principles.”

Frank Wendell Rounds Proposes
Theory of New Weakened Russia

Russia will be weaker now that
Malenkov has taken over,

sta a
former United States attache n!
' pression, he continued, there can-

Moscow, Frank Wendell Rounds,

Jr, as the third session of the|

Philadelphia Bulletin Forum con-
tinued at the Academy of Music
on Wednesday evening, March 11.
Because Malenkov is unsteady, Rus-
sia will have fewer ties with her
satellites, he explained. However,
the total defensqa strength of the

United States must be kept at a

maximum. Equally important, the
government must not submit to
war fright, but must at all times
allow citizens to remain “their
" true selves.”

“Trade not Aid?” was the ques-
tion asked of panel members J.
William Fulbright, Arkansas Sen-
ator, Lord Rochdale, _ Britain’s
Vice-President of the National
Union of Manufacturers, and H.
Christian Sonne, President of the
National Planning Association, by
Moderator Lewis Galantiere, Pol-
icy Adviser of Radio Free Europe.
Sonne advocated a combination of
liberal trade regulations and aid,
for investments abroad are help-
ful both to the investor and to the
country invested in. If there is
enough trade, he agreed, there is
more chance that the government
will be repaid.

Britain wants to pay her way,
put in Lord Rochdale. Free com-
petition should not only mean free
competition within the United
States, but with England too, he
added. Liberalizéd trade regula-
tions would help Britain to in-
crease production and selling of
raw materials.

Senator Fulbright did not ap-
prove of aid. “There is no way
to- keep up a balance of trade -f
you do not first achieve the bal-
ance to keep up,” he - asserted.
Only trade (not too liberalized)
will do this, and cértainly not aid.

All three men agreed that the
perfect set-up would be achieved
when and if all countries of the
world had free and lateral trade,
which would balance itself.
| We are all inter-dependent, for
poverty anywhere endangers pros-
perity everywhere, began H. E.

by the gym and earlier sunrises
there’s a new spirit in the air. The
atmosphere itself is tinged with
the essence (soon to be the exist-
ence) of Spring. Mid-semesters
are as hard as ever, but less to be
fearfully anticipated, and Satur-
day afternoons are more pleasant-
ly awaited.

This is the time when to all in-
tents and purposes the academic
year begins anew. Organizations
all over campus have new heads
and new committees. Throughout
college society the impetus of
fresh beginnings are being felt and
taken advantage of.

The student is lucky to have so
many chances of beginning again.
Especially in September, January,
and the Spring these opportunities
are recognized. Perhaps there are
also possibilities—too seldom ap-
preciated—of starting with a clean
slate from week to week and from
day to day.

Spring” should surely be the best
time for daily beginnings when
each morning. does usher in what
seams, to be a.new adventure, when
getting out of bed early is, if still
as difficult, at least more pleasant
once one’s eyes are wide enough to
see the world outside. .

Because this spring is present—
last year’s is beyond recall and
next year’s unpredictable—it is vi-

tally important.

The United States representa-

and industry with their own tools.

In one area of Greece, for ex-

was rotting because the people had
no way to transport the produce

LAS! NIGHTERS'

Newest Williams Play,
‘Camino Real,”
Has Value
especially contributed by
Gwen Davis, 54

The lights go out suddenly; the
audience emits a startled murmur,
tor they are accustomed to having
une lights dim. And so the play
goes. With a series of surprising
ettects, brilliant characters, and
vivid words, Tennessee Williams
in “Camino Real” has created a
unique and challenging play.

“What is this place; where are
we?” the characters ask, and no-

body knows. The Camino Real is
a road that used to be royal. But
the name of this Camino, says the
Baron, is not unreal.

Characters

The characters range from Casa-
nova, Mile. Gautier, and Byron, to
a gypsy, her daughter Esmerelda,
and Kilroy, the American boxer,
who used to be welter-weight
champion of the West Coast, fallen
out of favor and luck, doomed be-
cause he has a heart as big as the
head of a baby. No one knows
how or why he is there: the only
thing all have in common is des-
peration, with cash at the expen-
sive hotel on one side of the plaza,
without it on the other. All are
afraid: some are conscious of their
fear; some want to escape; some
are afraid of losing even the se-
curity of their desperation. Death,
in the guise of the street-cleaners,
is always waiting for them.- The
only apparent means of escape is
the terrifying terra incognita be-
yond the arch.

There are familiar elements of
many poetic philosophies in this
play: the seeming futility of ro-
manticism in a realistic world; the
need for sensual satisfaction and
the shame that follows it; and the
hope that is offered for escape by
those who: are quixotic and cour-
ageous beneath their cloak of
romantic folly.

Theatrical Effects

What could easily appear as a
melange of confused vignettes has
been tautly and brilliantly staged
by Elia Kazan, who has utilized
a great many theatrical effects
without sacrificing the poetry. The
set, complicated and imposing, has
been admirably designed by Lem-
uel Ayers. Not the least of the
so-called incidental touches of the
production is the music by Ber-
nardo Segall; it is indispensable to
the mood-setting, subtly but in-
geniously attuned to its charac-
ters, and alternately eerie and
fiery in the subsequent scenes of
the play. Outstanding in a cast
of almost impeccable excellence is
Eli Wallach in the role of Kilroy.

There will be a great deal of
controversy over the meaning of
Tennessee Williams’ new play. It
is a search for value, a masque, a
procession of symbolic and legen-
dary characters; it is whatever the
individual wants or néeds it to be.
There can be no disputing that it
is a powerful, exciting, and worth-
while experience in the theatre.





The Sophomore Carnival, the
Junior Prom, and of course, The
Maids’ and Porters’ production
of “A Connecticut Yankee” will
highlight one gala weekend of
April 17 and 18. .Ellie Fry, the
chairman of the Prom, has her
committee busily working, even
at this early date, and hints of
a mediaeval theme for the dance
—most unusual, but quite ap-
propriate in view of the above
mentioned production. Watch

Varsity and inter-class games
highlighted this week’s sports
events as the winter season draws
to a conclusion. The varsity and
junior games were in swimming,
badminton, and basketball. The
inter-class meets were in swim-
ming and badminton.

On March 11, Chestnut Hill de-
feated Bryn Mawr’s first and sec-
ond teams by 37-20 and 33-20, Ann
Lebo and Glenna Vare came in
first and second for the back
crawl, however, and Peggy King
placed second in the breast-stroke.
In diving Glenna Vare placed third
for the varsity. For the junior
varsity, Polly Oatfield placed sec-
ond in the free-style and Nancy
Tepper second in the back crawl;
the free-style relay team won. Also
for the junior varsity Pat McEl-
roy placed third in diving. ;

Badminton

The winning streak of the bad-
minton varsity ended in a heart-
breaking set of matches held at
Swarthmore on March 10th. The
final score was 3-2, with Judy Mc-
Culloch scoring the only singles
win and the doubles team of Mari-
lyn Muir-Beth Davis, the doubles
victory. The junior varsity won
their match 3-2. Phil Tilson won
a very close contest in the singles
matches and Charlotte Smith was
another singles winner. Candy
Bolster and Barbara Bornemann
combined to make a_ winning
doubles team.

Swarthmore was victorious over
Bryn Mawr’s basketball varsity in
a game on Wednesday. At the
end of the first half the score was
fairly close, 20-18, but then the
Swarthmore team began pulling
away and the final score was AT-
31. Bea Merrick skilfully scored
18 points in spite of the excellent
Swarthmore guards. Bryn Mawr’s
junior varsity won their game 56-
30, as again the main scoring was
done in the second half., Both
Sally Kennedy and Pauline Smith
deserve special note as they scor-
ed 26 and 22 points respectively.

of Representative Velae concern-
ing the possibility of investigating
clergymen. Baldwin was opposed
by Stephen A. Mitchell, Chairman
of the Democratic National Com-
mittee, who proposed that a home-
town board of judges be organized
to examine the fitness of congres-
sional investigators. Congressman
Hugh D. Scott, Jr., and Senator
Homer Ferguson also took part in
the discussion.

Participants in a second panel,
HOW MUCH FREEDOM FOR
FREE ENTERPRISE, were Homer
E. Capehart, James B. Carey, and
Edward R. Dunning. Carey con-
tended: “Twenty years ago Private
Enterprise was dead. Now, after
twenty years of the government
building dams, Private Enterprise
takes over again’. Private Enter-
prise is the usurper of the govern-
ment, of the unions, of the people.
Senator Capehart responded that
Private Enterprise is the back-
bone of the American system of
government. “In the last hundred
years leaders have been killing the
goose that lays the golden egg—
not by legislation, but by attitude.”

Pennsylvania Senator James H.
Duff spoke on A STRONG ECON-
OMY AND A STRONG DE-
FENSE. “The death of Stalin is
no help to peace.’”’. The American
people are so well disposed towards
other people that “it is difficult to
imagine that we could be attacked
without warning”. However, “Our
cities are in range of bombers”.
As a result of last fall’s investiga-
tions in the South Pacific, scien-
tists found it possible to make one
bomb that would destroy by per-
cussion 300 square miles and by
fire 1200 square miles. We must
accelerate our national defense.
“"“ he time is short and the danger
is ever present.”

Joseph S. Clark, Jr., ‘in THE
URBAN CHALLENGE TO DE-
MOCRACY, _ presented problems
facing city government. We must
find some way to get honest lead-
ers in office, and still have them
be able to pay their grocery bills.
“Our democracy can succeed only
if its leaders accept the practical
truth that the end NEVER justi-
fies the means.”

energetically, the roads were built,
and so Greece was aided at almost
no cost to the United States.
Some people say that the Unitea
Nations should only concentrate
on the political problem or the
social problem, added Mrs. Lord,
but one cannot be approached
without the other: social and eco-

nomic misfortune are factors in
political indifference or discon-
tent.

Reason is the basis of law, 1-
sisted Missouri Senator Stuart
Symington. It is only truth that
will keep us free. When people
are told facts so that they under-
stand all sides of an issue, they
will respond agreeably. As far as
war spending is concerned, Senator
Symington feels that if the people
are told frankly how much is need-
ed and for what, they will not pro-
test the added burden so vigor-

ously. Ps

Spirited Panel

A spirited panel on the alterna-
tives in Asia was led by news com-
mentator kiverett R. Holles. For-
eign correspondent Marguerite
Higgins vehemently advocated all-
out war in Korea, asserting that
the present set-up was weakening
us and not gaining anything. it
the United States used all its wea-
pons (including tne atom bomb)
we could win tne batte within a
tairly short amount of time, she
reasoned.

William Dickenson, Jr., Chief of
the Bulletin’s Washington Bureau,
argued that such action in Korea
would not win the cold war. For,
he said, who can say that Korea
is the place that the war will be
won?

Discussions Concluded

Washington columnist Stewart
Alsop concluded the discussion
with the comment that the policy
in Asia had already been decided—
at least for the present. The
United States troops in Korea
have begun to be diminished in
favor of Korean troops, he ex-
plained. The idea of atomic war-
fare has been ruled out.

The final speaker, General Lord
Ismay, is Secretary General of
NATO. He spoke about the grow-
ing strength of the North Atlantic
community and talked with pride
of the accomplishments of NATO.
He pointed out that the North At-
lantic Treaty had not broken the
United Nations charter since it is
simply a pact to increase the se-
curity of nations.



Kenneth M. Setton Tells of Mediaeval Athens:

‘Debased Subject’ Includes Coins and a Donkey |

ological finds in determining
Athenian history, Mr. Setton re-
lated the following and many
other events. What the historian
called “a donkey in distress” was
discovered by one archaeologist.
On the foundation of what had
been the kitchen of an old and
elegant house were a donkey’s
bones. Knowing that the home
was destroyed at the time of the
Herulean attack on Athens, the
archaeologists reconstructed the
scene,

Apparently the animal had just
arrived bringing vegetables from
the country place when the alarm
sounded. Concealed at first in the
kitchen from plundering soldiers,
the animal was forgotten as the
inhabitants realized the deadly
seriousness of the attack and fled
to the supposedly safer shelter of
the Acropolis.

But a very subtle thing is happen-

Radnor Elects McElroy

Radnor”’s Pat McElroy was sit-
ting in the smoker Tuesday after-
noon, sure that she was not the
Hall President-elect, when Jane
Martin appeared with the corsage.

“IT was so surprised,” beamed
Pat. “Everyone was sitting in the
smoker with such straight faces,
feeling sorry for me, when in
walked Janie with the corsage
box.”

Jane Martin, this year’s presi-
dent, gleefully described Pat’s first
reaction. “I had told everyone in
the smoker beforehand,” said Jane.
“Then I walked in with the cor
sage behind my back and said,
‘Congratulations, Patsy McElroy!’
producing the corsage. Pat, a bit
dazed, murmured a thank youn,
then incredulously exclaimed, ‘For
me? Thank you! I must call my
parents.’ ”

Pat is a history major ,and man-
ager of the swimming team, in
addition to being one of its stars.

Muir Heads Rhoads

“As a matter of fact I’m in such
a twit that I don’t exactly know
what I did say,” exclaimed Mari-
lyn Muir, the newly elected Presi-

dent of Rhoads Hall. “I do re-
dealt a beautiful twenty-two point
bridge hand when Penny handed
me a perfectly lovely corsage and
told me that I was president. I
got so flustered that I-made a slam
when I had only bid three no-
trump.” Marilyn declared. “This
year’s platform is good enough for
me—and I intend to stick with it!”

Pettis For Rock

“Oh, no! What am I supposed
to do?” was Ann Pettis’ alarmed
exclamation when she learned that
she was to be interviewed for the
College News. She was so sur-
prised and happy that. she: didn’t
quite know what to say. Being
elected president of Rock and be-
ing interviewed, in addition to all
the excitement of “congratula-
tions” and “thank you,” were a
little too much for Petti.

Asked about her first reaction to
the good news, she emphasized not
only her delight, but also the real-
ization of the gigantic responsi-

Plato’s Confusion Stems
From Cultural Sources

Continued from Page 1

But later in the tenth book,
Plato stops treating “mimetic” in
the epistemological sense and re-
verts to its psychological defini-
tion. He gives a sermon against
what he regards as the excesses
of poetry, stating that it is incom-
patible with education, instruction,
and morality of men.

That Plato does not see the
psychological and epistemological
aspects of the word “‘mimetic” as
separate, is the result of the
stresses of cultural change. The
shift from oral to written com-
munication was at its height in
Plato’s day; widespread literacy
was just being reached as Plato
was growing up, and the acoustic
technology was still being exploit-
ed. Plato, therefore, was attack-
ing the acoustic state of mind,
seeking to supplant it by the new
visual state. The acoustic poet had
to worry about attracting and
holding an audience to make his
works live; his fundamental-sefv-
ice to society was often neglected.
The Republic was designed as an
epic after the new fashion, to re-
place all poetry in so far as: it
had built up a body of moralizing

Senator Saltonstall Outlines Problems Facing the New Administration,
Analyzes Sources of Tension Existing for America and for the World

Continued from Page 5

Eisenhower, were Korea, Commun-
ism, corruption, and change, the
Senator outlined the steps the ad-
ministration is taking to accom-
plish its program on these points.
It has recognized that the United
States must build up its own se-
curity adequately and efficiently.
This need is vitally connected with
efficiency and economy within the
government, for armament costs
are unbelievably high compared
with World War II costs, and the
tax rate is already the highest in
U.S. history. Defense Secretary

ilson and his department are
able and efficient, well-qualified to

effect economies,

The second step pertains to our
responsibility for leadership in
foreign relations, for every nation
outside the Communist sphere
looks to the United States for
guidance. Secretary of State
Dulles’ more aggressive policy to-
wards Russia is a step towards
taking over leadership in psycho-
logical advancement, and Lodge is
providing positive leadership in the
U.N.

The first step towards the solu-
tion of our internal problems has
been taken in the change of lead-
ership, and, given cohdence, the

e

Senator stated, the Y Admin-





istration can use its leader-
ship to bring new efficiency and
elimination of corruption and
Communism.

The Administration’s eval is
peace and security, but it must not
try to go forward too rapidly.
Once the goal is obtained, each of
us will have the right to go ahead
and live our lives in the way .we
think best. With this thought,
said Senator Saltonstall, the ma-
jority of the people in Congress
and President Eisenhower are
working. With the backing of the
people of the United States, and
the young people in particular, the
goal can be reached.
