Crews Have Stage Fright, Too---
Visions of Doom Bring Insomnia

by Elisabeth Nelidow, ’51

There is something about a
stage that completely. transforms
everyone as soon as they step up

on it, whether as actor or as stage-
hand. The actor is inclined to think
“f am the artist ... and as such
the’ most vital part of the show,”
while the grimy stagehand looks
on from the wings and thinks “Of
«course the actors are necessary,
but where would they be without
me?” This is not to imply that the
stage immediately gives all those}
connected with it ‘a superiority

faces the whole college. “The
‘Weekend is- King and the week-
‘middle is a very sick man. Not in
my time perhaps, but all too soon
the week-middle will be only a
shadow of its former self—namely
‘Wednesday.” The solution she sug-
gested was an exploitation of the
‘week middle’s commercial value—
a sort of advertising campaign
promising “slashed prices on
courses for next year” and wheeled
self-service in the stacks.
Agpdemic courses need publicity,

dhe fomnstitive spirit, and appeal

Assemblies Give

College ‘NewVoice’

At the first two morning assem-
blies, held in Goodhart on April
20 and 27, at 8:45 A. M., Miss
McBride and Mrs. Marshall spoke
respectively on “Liberal Education
Under Repeated Attacks,” and
“The New Curriculum.”

Miss McBride, speaking on the
topic whith was also discussed re-
cently: at :the Alumnae Council in
Chicago, éxplained that modern
liberal’ education, ideally, gives the

'student a practical means “to equip

himself to understand and eope
with changes; it is education for

Hliving, not for leisure, and there-

ry | fore the claims that it is non-func-
AY, | tional, wasteful, ‘or non-essential
are not justified. This type of edu-
Gation devéldps‘a ‘student's powers
and extends his experience so that
fie can act in relation to all ex-

perience and not just his own, pro-|_

viding in this way a source for
decisions. It is broad enough to
‘seem to lose a specific function
only because the human mind is
also that broad.

Miss McBride commented on the
new Assemblies Series. which..will
“give the college community a new
voice” and proposed the establish-
ment of a press committee to sug-
gest topics for the Assembly
speakers.

At the second Assembly, Mrs.
Marshall pointed out the great
changes which have taken place
in the academic life of Bryn Mawr,
changes which pass almost un-
noticed because they have come

‘|about gradually, through evolution

rather than revolution. New stud-
ies like the Harvard. Report have
been influential ‘in bringing about
changes in the curricula of many
colleges and: universities, and en-
trance ‘examinations - have . also.

Common Room, “April 28.—In his

lecture to the Bryn Mawr Spanish
Club, Senor Carlos Claveria, Pro-

fessor_of Spanish literature at the|.

University of Pennsylvania, read
a chapter of his book on Miguel de
Unamuno, called “Don Miguel y la
Luna.” (“Don Miguel and the
Moon.’’)

Senor Claveria pointed out spe-
cifically, quoting from different
works both in prose and poetry,
the haunting effect of the moon on
the philosophical thought and emo-
tions of the author. Some are:
“luz sin tiempo” (light without

eedo de Dio Perla” (from the ring
in God’s finger pearl), and an
“espejo de eternidad” (mirror of
eternity).

For Unamuno, the moon is a
symbol of hope, a source of con-
solation. It is a sign of eternity





as a reflection of God.

Middle May Day

’ The 1949 Yearbook declared: “We have wrangled in a
mass meeting over Big May Day and voted to discard it as an
outdated Elizabethan festival.” That Big May Day is gone
forever is a fact scarcely open to doubt. Undergraduates and
faculty, both strongly opposed to its revival: when the issue
was raised last year, feel the absurdity of spending a third of
the academic year and several thousand dollars on a spectacle
which no longer has any significance for us beyond the mere-
ly quaint.

That Big May Day has a special prestige ‘in our minds
is, however, undeniable. The united effort; once in every col-
lege generation for almost half a century, to produce a cele-
bration associated with Bryn ‘Mawr since its earliest years









cannot help impressing all of us deeply. Furthermore, a co-'

herent master-pattern for every form of expressive activity
on campus is something which will probaply: never happen to
. us again.

Little May Day and Arts Night have divided up and tak-
en over the functions of the Big Tradition. Unfortunately,
we feel a little ‘silly about the one; and are rather uninterested
. in the other. . It should be possible to combine in some form
the special emotion attached to the May Day festival, and the
opportunity for forward-looking creativity offered .by Arts
Night, avoiding ‘both eplendid: sterility and erates self.
- expression.

We gponsor ‘again the iiiieatiien: so often made. last |

year: Middle May Day. A whole day set aside for plays; mu-|

sic, dancing, games, along with the usual May Day Assembly,
May Queen speech, and class singing, might very - possibly
take less effort and produce more satisfaction in the end. The
emphasis should be taken off the Elizabethan and put on the
progressive, taken off the scattered attempts and put on the
common effort. We ask you, at least, to consider Middle May
Day for next year.

Scholarships »- 1

A look at the opposite page’ is both illuminating and re-
assuring. It is common knowledge that 30% of Bryn Mawr
students are on scholarship, but the figure means little until
one sees the tremendous lists published on May Day and in

the Finding Lists.

Two things particularly come into focuS—first, that a
scholarship here is held an honor, rather than something
which sets its recipient apart from the rest of the student
body. At Bryn Mawr there is never the attitude, current at

Rall y Brings Out
NSA’ Objectives

Taylor Step Singing preceded
the NSiA rally on Wednesday after
dinner, and its show songs and
class songs produced an_ at-
mosphere suitable for a “tradi-
tion-breaking rally.”

Speaking from a real soap box
in front of Taylor Steps, Marion
Edwards, ’48-’49 Chairman of NSA
on campus, listed the qualifica-
tions for the office of chairman,
and then introduced the three can-
didates for the office next year.

Bertie Dawes, starting with a
jolly “Ladies—,” discussed the role
of NSA on the college campus, and
on Bryn Mawr’s campus specif-
ically. Although, because of Bryn
Mawr’s excellent self-government
organization, this college has léss
need for NSA’s “student voice”
than many schools, “we must nev-
ertheless go for it and work for
the things that it can do for us.”

The national plane of NSA’s ac-
tion was the subject of Joan Pi-
wosky’s discussion, and she-empha-
sized the fact that because of
Bryn Mawr’s Self Government Or-
ganization, ‘we have a lot to offer
other colleges through NSA. Cit-
ing the National Students’ Associ-
ation as a link between us and
other colleges, Joan called it “a
mouthpiece of American students;
through it the country can really
get to know what the students
think.”

Frieda Wagoner talked about
NSA’s activities on an internation-
al scale. Through NISA, she said,
American students not only gain
information about countries and
activities abroad, but are given an
opportunity to see these countries
and witness these. activities
through such features as NSA’s
student tours and information serv-
ice about foreign schools. Ameri-
can students learn about Europe
through NSA, and “NSA. repre-
sents mouse Spiga youth to the rest
of the world.

In answer to the question of
what NSA has done on campus
this year, Marion Edwards men-
tioned the Culturale held at Penn
last week,. t Student . Govern-
ment Clinic. conducted here - this
winter, and tle fact that a DP
Scholarship has been established at
Bryn Mawr.

Maids, Porters Decide
To Repeat Show
i Thursday

To The Editor:

As a result of the wonderful re-
ception given to the Maids and
Porters’ production of The Mikado
on Saturday, April 28rd, we have
decided to give a repeat perform-
ance on Thursday, May 5th, in
Goodhart. Our reasons for this act-
ion are twofold. First of all, it
has been requested by friends in
Philadelphia and by the faculty
and students at Bryn Mawr Col-
lege who missed it on April 23rd.
But more important, we are re-
peating The Mikado because of the
overwhelming enthusiasm of the
entire cast and of all those who
are connected with the show.

Nature Lover Insists:
Radios Ruin
Campus -
To the Editor:

Until recently Bryn — Mawr
campus remained’ shrouded ‘in a
sort of pseudo-gothic dignity that.
had its charm, and now that spring
has made oddities disappear, the
campus is a joy to behold.

However, a malignant desire to
ruin it seems to lurk among Bryn-
Mawrtyrs. Not content to disfigure
trees with posteristic art, the
blatancy of which was happily soon
removed, and to tramp on newly
seeded places, they carry portables.
with them on the Greens and con-
taminate the air around them until}

one cannot hear oneself—not think,
since we do not know of that ob-
solete activity—but dreani. Port-
ables are loud, They are heard
from classes, from halls, from the
Library. -The wind through Senior
Row trees does not always agree
with their rhythm and they lead
with the. professor a duet of un-
pleasing: quality.

- I prefer-the campus nature-col-
ored .and.- the: air straight. Are
tadios allowed outside?

Gymnasium, April 27—Between
“Blood on the Saddle” and Englisi
Morris - dancing, between “All

‘swing hands and promenade the

hall,” and “Whew! This is ex-
hausting,” the Folk and Square
dance chairmanned by Molly Froth-
ingham, and called by Rick Conant,
was a memorable experience.

Hair flying, ties loose, faces
flushed, feet stomping, at least
nine dancing sets were visible dur-
ing the evening.

The dance featured a demonstra-
tion, coached by Eric Loeb of Hav-
erford, of folk dances from other



countries. Along with eight men



live alike and have the same opportunities.
The other point, even more essential, is the fact that the

College takes so great an interest in seeing that everything
possible is done to enable students in need who want to go to
Bryn Mawr and who can benefit from it to do so. Alumnae
and administration alike should get the credit for this. They
award scholarships often at cost to themselves or to the ex-
clusion of students who might be able to pay their full ex-
penses. The maintenance of high standards they hold su-

-perior to financial interests. Certainly no college could have

B.M. Will Dance
At Phila. Recital

The principal aim of the Phila-
delphia College Dance Council is
to increase interest in the Modern
Dance. For the second successive
year, the Dance Clubs of the col-
leges belonging to this organiza-
tion are joining their talents in a
Dance Concert. It will be held in
Goodhart on Wednesday, May 4,
at 8:30, and on May 10 in Philadel-
phia. This last performance will
also attempt’ to bring Modern
Dance into the field of interest of
local high schools.

This Dance Concert promises a
program varied in moods and tem-

pos. Penn U. will present a num-
ber on the theme of “Joshua
Fought the Battle of Jericho;”

the Swarthmore group has a series
of dances entitled “Cutting,” in-
spired by musical fragments of the
Cutting Record Collection in
Swarthmore; Penn’s Dance Club
has set dances to traditional religi-
ous music of the Protestant, Jew-
ish, and Catholic faiths. In the
lighter vein, Harcum College is of-
fering two numbers called “Tropi-
cale” and “Everything’s Up To
Date in Kansas City.” The Tyler
School of Fine Arts is dancing
“Country Gardens,” to a Mozart
theme. Other colleges represented
in this concert are Cheyney Col-
lege and,.of course, Bryn Mawr,
whose program consists of
“Touche,” “Fallen Angels,” and
“Dance for Three Colors.”

Admission to the Dance Concert
is free. This performance should be
most interesting, both to those
who want to learn about Modern |
Dancing and to aspiring dancers
seeking for new ideas.



Packers! Don’t send home
that heavy, unwanted winter
clothing. Don’t give away your
too short skirts and too tight
suits. Save those not too styl-
ish shoes. Hang on to your
baggy old raincoat.

The biggest clothing drive of
the year is coming in the second
week of May, and Alliance so-
licitors will collect everything—
summer and winter clothing.
All clothes will be sent immedi-
ately to Europe by the United
States Friends Service Commit-
tee.

{Between the Leaves

Dr. Taylor’s New Book
Found Scholarly,
Well-written
by Hanna Holborn, ’50

Party Politics in the Age of
Caesar, a new ‘book by Dr. Lily
Ross, Taylor of Bryn Mawr, is a
work of the most careful analysis
which~ is at the same time dra-

matic; a work otf immense schol-
arship, which is at the same time
not self-consciously so. The style

[is clear, easy, and.subtle; Miss

Taylor has done full justice to
the topic which she has selected.

In tracing the bitter party strug-
gles of the late days of the :‘Roman
Republic, Miss Taylor has present-
ed a new. point of view in her
demonstration of how the impor-
tance of votes on laws was su-
perior to that of elections in build-
ing up the political parties of the
age. The difference between the
concept and fact of “parties” and
“programs” in our day and the
Roman is given a fine exposition.
Miss Taylor describes the methods
by which the Roman system oper-
ated and their significance in the
transition from the “free” tradi-
tion of the Roman Republic to the
imperial tradition as put into ef-
fect by Augustus. The issues and
personalities involved are beauti-
fully depicted.

Perhaps the most exciting part
of Miss Taylor’s book is the very
last chapter entitled
“Caesarism and Catonism,” which
integrates the subject as a whole
and which at the same time gives
to the book a meaning which goes
far beyond its immediate subject.
The idea stated in the first chap-
ter;

“The period has r kable par-
allels with the prot s and ex-
periences of our own time. One
world had in a sense been realized.
- But there was no effective
world government, for in the cen-
ter of that state there was revolu-

tion and anarchy. Rival parties
were striving by the use of arms
for domination, and victory in the
strife was to lead to the suprem-
acy of a single. party and the iden-
tification of that party under a
totalitarian system with the whole
state.”

is carried out with quiet realism
and penetration in the last para-
graph:

“(The people) were as happy as
they had been in the time of Cato;
if they were provincials, they were
happier, . .. They were little con-
cerned when the new parties, the
armies, substituted a new Caesar.
For, unlike the nobles, they had
not exchanged liberty for slavery.
They had passed from the dom-
ination of an oligarchy to the dom-
ination of a monarch.”

In Party Politics in the Age of
Caesar, Miss Taylor has brought
the time of which she writes, its
people and its thought, alive in an
original and constructive fashion.
Her book, at once learned and well-
written, is certainly one of the
most valuable ones in its field that
has appeared for a long time.

The Observer

Tonight the young blood is run-
ning younger and we predict brok-
en bones, broken pencils and even
trampled grass. The silhouette of
trees and towers has turned fuzzy
and likewise our plans for work.
The little piles of filing cards re-
main little, the books stay in the
same neat order along the backs
of our library desks. The sweet
turmoil of mussy head, scattered
cards, books propped open, is, for
these few days, missing.

There is always a certain amount
of turmoil. It, like energy or equal-
ing energy, cannot be destroyed.
These days the mental turmoil of
the Reading Room has gone to the

lower parts of the library where
it takes a form which is not so
mental. Around the water cooler
the people gather. The water cool-
er offers the best water in the col-
lege but you must wring it from
the cooler. If the water were made
even more difficult to obtain, eith-
er the water cooler congregations
would be non-existent or some of
the noise-making energy would be
expended in a silent fashion.

Those who wish to use the Ref-
erence Room must be prepared to
use all tact to enter for who knows
but some (and they are not inter-
ested in references) may have
locked themselves in. A knock in-
duces only silence, attempts to
force the door—a deadly silence, a
pause for thought will bring forth
one bloody scream from behind the
door.

The Reserve Room, for one hour,
probably the quietest .in its life,
by virtue of a forbidding sign on
its door, became a private study.

The reserve books piled up across
the hall and many students, given
pause by an aberration in the usu-
al scheme, left the library, more
ready to meet the world and its
little quirks.

The Reading Room. atmosphere
is, of course, untenable. The
breezes drift in and out and we,
like so many little warm air cur-
rents, drift in and out too. This
accounts for the people lurking in
the corridors. Once they get down
there, they wait for something to
happen, for someone to go by. If
they wait they will be satisfied,
for a congenial drifter will be sure
to appear. Together they, will
make the corridor echo for a mo-
ment and then they will off on
some sly business.

All this, you understand, is not

the absolute norm. It is because |

May Day is coming. With that
paramount in our minds, we have
not yet visualized the final, irre-
mediable deadline of May four-
teenth. But after May Day we pre-
dict that the file cards will grow
messy and in place of the corri-
dor drifters will be only those in
earnest pursuit of one quick cigar-
ette.



The program for the May
10th record concert will include
Haydn’s Symphony No. 101 in D
Major (“The Clock Sym-
phony”), Concerto No. 1 in G
Minor, Op. 25 by Mendelssohn,
Ravel’s “Bolero,” and Chopin
Waltzes. This program is, how-
ever, subject to change,

fround to suit. There is always the
Gne who wants to engage you in a
conference over lighting just as
you are trying to move a fourteen-
foot flat through a twelve-foot door,
or; in trying to clean up the stage
4 little and thus be helpful, takes
away the piece of wood that is
meant to hold up the brick that
supports the brace that props up
the flat that is the only dependable
piece-of scenery.

And finally, there is always the
audience to worry about. Will they
realize that the doorway is faked
and liable to fall down at any
minute and extinguish the actors?
And will they recognize the props
as their own belongings revamp-
ed? Of such things one can never
be sure ... the only thing to ido
is to cross one’s fingers and pray
that none of them has ever done

any stage work and that thus their
state of ignorance will be bliss.
Peace of mind does not descend on
the stagecrew until the final cur-
tain, and even thén they are not
happy... there is now a new com-
plaint: “Why can’t we do it all
over again?”

Art Films Exhibit Techniques
Of Modeling, Chinese Painting

Common Room, April 19.— At
5:00 P. M. the first two of a ser-
ies of four films to supplement the
work of the art department were
presented. The first, entitled ““Mod-
eling a Portrait,” was demonstra-
ted by Simon Moselsio, the art di-
rector at Bennington College in
Vermont, and concerned the tech-
nique of sculpture in clay. It pre-
sented the entire process of mod-
eling, from the arrival of the sub-
ject and the preliminary prepara-
tions to the final touches and the
finished product.

What was perhaps most amaz-
ing about the demonstration was
the speed at which the artist fa-
shioned the portrait. After seem-
ingly hurling the clay at the wire
foundation to form a suitable base,
he swiftly shaped it into an almost
exact replica of the features of
the old man who served as the
model. Each stroke of the tool was
applied quickly, and the completed
head captured the character and
expression of the subject.

The second film, produced by



the Harmon Foundation and the
China Institute in America, was
in color and was entitled “Out of
a Chinese Painting Brush.” In it
the mysterious technique that goes
into producing an exquisite Chinese
exhibited. Though
the process may appear compli-
cated from viewing the finished
work, in reality it is not. A Chinese
artist also works rapidly,. applying
the paint in short, sketch-like
strokes, letting his arm rather
than his fingers do the work. Once
a color is laid, he never paints
over it, but applies. more overlap-
ping colors. A few: strokes of the
brush, and a bird is formed; sev-
eral more, and a flower appears.
Most impressive is the accuracy of
the artist and the beautiful, jewel-
like colors he employs. Though the
color range is limited, every shade
is unexcelled for clarity and beauty
of tone. In this film, it was shown
that the essence of Chinese art is
simplicity and precision.
