Adaptation, S. Burgess.

An attempt at whimsy can be
the making or breaking of a group
of players and Winnie The Pooh
is sheer whimsy. Rockefeller’s
adaptation of part of the A. A.
Milne book for its freshman hall
play on Friday night, however,
was successful and is always de-
serving of the plaque which the
judges awarded it.

The acting was excellent and if
there was an occasional flicker of
a smile it was overcome by the
predominate seriousness with
which the actresses took their
roles. Rabbit was.in dead earnest
with his superior reasoning and
Pooh plodded after him with good-
natured bewilderment, singing
Penny Derr’s music.

Piglet was superb as a fellow
conspirator and Kanga did a gooa
job of looking after her delight-
fally loose-jointed Baby Roo.

‘Christopher Robin, Eeyore, Owl,
and Rabbit’s Friend shared in this

fulness which made every-

y seem unimportant by com-

parison with the expedition to thie

North Pole. Every line could be

heard and each one carried: the

audience further into a emaaint
lieve world.

Other halls adapted their pro-
ductions from longer plays, but
Winnie was taken directly from
the book by Sallyann Burgess.
Nonnie Powers (with upperclass

help from Sally Shoemaker) di-
rected the play, and there was a
refreshing simplicity in most of
the stage business.

There were no startling lighting

effects and the only props were the

barést essentials: a rock, a tuft

of grass’ and a tree to show a}

forest, and a bench, table, and tub
for Kanga’s house.

“The costuming, too, deserves
commendation, for ingenuity was
essential in transforming articles
of everyday clothing into suits for
stuffed animals by the addition of

Science Lecturer
Expounds Aspect
Of Brain Activity

Psychiatry will be the subject of
this year’s first Science Club lec-
ture, Tuesday evening, November
11, when Dr. Joseph Hughes will
speak on “Relationships between
Consciousness and Electrical Ac-
tivity of the Brain”.

Dr. Hughes is a professor of
psychiatry at Women’s Medical
College and a consultant in psy-
chiatry to the Institute of the
Pennsylvania Hospital and ito the
United States Naval Hospital. His
most important work, and that for
which he is most famous, is his
research on electroshock therapy
and_ electroencephalography; he
was one of the first scientists to
do work in those fields.

In cooperation with some of his
colleagues, Dr. Hughes has also
published reports of his work in
the use of blood plasma, and of
study of the response of the spinal



cord to two afferent volleys.



Contrasting Worlds Co-Exist in Cairo;
Many Intriguing Sights Entice Visitor

by Sue Habashy, °54

- Cairo, though for centuries fam-
ed for its ancient Pyramids and its

Sphinx, is today far more worthy

of this old fame. For it is in Cairo
that the crossroads of the Middle
East meet, and it is there that the
West first meets the Middle East.
Of vital importance politically, and

of crucial importance geograph-|

ically because of its commercial
highway—the Suez Canal—Cairo
retains in many ways the old, and
the new,

Along its main streets, glide the
newest of Cadillacs, while not far
away on an unpaved road, a pen-
sive donkey driven by a farmer re-
turning from the field plods his
way, meeting. perhaps a milkman
on a bicycle.

Ladies in Parisienne clothes and
Fifth Avenue fashions hurrying to
cocktail parties walk side by side
with peasant women in their con-
servative picturesque native dress.

’ Men in Eastern ‘Galabiyas’ and

men in suits sit together in street-
cars. Streamlined trucks and horse
drawn carts travel together in





some streets, while in others, the
‘NO PARKING’ signs and police-
men are the source of worry to
drivers hurrying to business or to
school.

On the same street can be seen
department stores full of Egyptian
and imported goods and nearby a
small shop where native ivory
work and brocade-weaving draws
many a foreign visitor.

Tourists not only flock to the
Bazaars and the Pyramids, but
many enjoy the Italian Opera sea-
son and the Vienna Philharmonic
orchestra, while the Egyptian
theatre and a trip to Cairo’s Hol-
lywood—‘Studio Misr’ is well
worth the time.

Many a tourist is familiar with/
the Guezira club, where much of

Cairo’s cosmopolitan population
witnesses the world championships
once a year. :

from ‘all over the. Islamic world
gather—and the ‘new’: Fouad Uni-

At Election Conclave

Greek cheers for Eisenhower and
Stevenson initiated the Alliance
rally in the Gym on Monday night.
After preliminary announcements
by Ronnie Gottlieb, President of

the Alliance, Patsy Price introduc- |

ed the first speaker, “Mr. Taft’s
sister, Mrs. Manning.”

“I am voting tomorrow for Eis-
enhower and the Republican party
because I believe in the two-party
system,” began Mrs. Manning.



Self-Gov Puts On

Mock Trial Case

For Consideration

The Self-Government Associa-
tion is associated . with—what?
Precisely not the fear of hanging
by your thumbs, or anything else
to equal the torments of a chosen
few. To prove the point, Self-Gov.
will present a mock trial on Mon-
day, November 10, in the Common
Room at 8:30.

Carol Sonne and Sue Halperin
will be those under scrutiny, in
two cases which even the execu-
tive board will not know of until
they are présented. Marilyn Rei-
gle explains these cases as “typi-
cal but entertaining,” and hopes
that ‘the presentation will show
to the-college the board in its ac-
tual functioning capacity. Because
no one will know of the situations,
those on the board will act as if
it were a regular case.

The mock trial is being held a
week before the annual Self-Gov.
exam, and hopes to correlate the
rules with the actuality of Self-
Gov. For freshmen as well as up-
perclassmen, it will certainly serve
to better acquaint you with the
operation of the association.



The record of the last eight years
and today’s stalemate have proved
that both parties must contribute
to national life. Only a party com-
ing freshly to -the*issues can help
change the record. Walter Lipp-
mann has said that no other coun-
try so vast has “maintained a gov-
ernment based on a free society
and one which respects the rights
of man.”

Although the two-party system
is not logical when worked out on
paper, it is all we have—it has kept
unity in this country bétween dif-
fering factions. If the Republican
party is defeated this time, it will
be difficult to keep the two-party
system open.

“The greatest indictment made
by my teacher friends,” said Mrs.
Manning, “is that. Eisenhower has
compromised.” Surely without
compromise there can be no way
to bring the different parts of the
country together. An_ historical
example was the rebirth of the
Democratic party after 'Wilson’s
compromise with Bryan.

Mrs. Manning — expressed. her
great faith in Eisenhower and the
men he is likely to appoint. If we
consider their record in the last
four years, she concluded, we will
realize that the Republicans under
a splendid leader have a much bet-
ter opportunity « for: -accomplish-
ment, than. the Democrats. .

Mr. Donald Brown spoke next,
as he said, perhaps more from a
psychological than an_ historical
point of view. He said that fac-
ulty supporters, or “eggheads,”
for Stevenson were fortunately
“scrambled” with many groups
outside the teaching profession.

Eisenhower’s compromises with
opposing sections of the Republi-
can party have left both feeling

Haverford-Bryn Mawr Dramatic Clubs
Join To Prethice “Philadelphia Story”

Because of its setting on the

‘Main Line, The Philadelphia Story,

to be presented by the Haverford
and Bryn.Mawr Drama Clubs at
Roberts Hall on Friday and Sat-
urday, November 7 and 8, holds
special interest for Bryn Mawr
and Haverford students. Also of
interest is the fact that the play
was written originally for Kath-

-erine Hepburn.

The story concerns Tracy Lord
(Sue Halperin), the daughter of
a Main Line family, who has been
married to and divorced from a

[man in her own .social stratum.

Tracy’s father, Seth, played by
Bill Watson, is carrying on an o
‘fair with a dancer.

As the play opens, it is the ‘i

a politically promising young man,
portrayed by
Dick Lingeman. Tracy’s younger
‘sister, Dinah, enacted by Debbie
‘Jordan, finds an article about her
‘father’s affair which is about to
be published in a prominent mag-
‘azine. The brother, Sandy (J$hn
-Folks), however, makes a bargain



with the publisher to exchange that
article for one on Tracy’s wed-
ing.

Before the wedding, the pho-
tographer, Liz Imbrie, played by
Gretchen VanMeter, and the re-
porter, Mike Conner, portrayed by
Robin Nevitt, arrive to cover the ©
wedding. They try to hide the
fact that they are reporting on
the wedding; and the Lords, who
know that they are, try to hide
the fact that they know.

Mike and C..K. Dexter Haven
(Bill Packard), Tracy’s former
husband, who is still obviously in
love with her, complicate matters,
but help Tracy realize that she has
been a prig and too intolerant of
the shortcomings of others. The
plot revolves around this awaken-
ing and Tracy’s realization of frail
—but human—values.

Other important characters who
add to the general confusion and
comedy are the mother, Margaret
Lord, enacted by Kathy Lurker,
and Uncle Willie, played by John
Kittredge. The directors are Maggie
Glenn of Bryn Mawr and: Brooks
Cooper of Haverford.

Decision

One of the primary functions of education is to teach
students how to think, how to make a decision after consid-
ering all the factors that are involved in a given situation. It
is this type of objective judgment upon which our structure
of government relies to select the men who are to govern the
nation.

In order to believe that the election system which oper-
ates in the United States is the best possible one, it is first
necessary to assume that men are capable of reason. After
we agree upon the assumption, the problem of presenting the
pertinent facts to the people arises, for only if the voting
population can have access to all sides of an issue can its
judgment be valid.

College should prepare students for life in our demo-
cratic society. Voting in an intelligent way 'is the means by
which we as citizens can select the men who we feel will
make the best legislators and administrators, and by which
we can approve or condemn the present government.

The students at Bryn Mawr should be proud of those or-

ganizations which have taken the initiative to interest the
campus in the presidential election and to set forth the is-
sues.

The Youth for Eisenhower and Students for Stevenson
groups have done a splendid job of arousing interest and pre-
senting information to the students through the planned
Monday night discussions, through the supplement in last
week’s News, and through the frequent unplanned informa-
tive conversations which have gone on late at wight in the
smokers and almost anywhere dyring the day.

The Alliance for Political Affairs and the groups affiliat-
ed with it too are to be commended for their educational pro-
gram: the timely current events lectures, and the very suc-
cessful Election Eve rally, as well as the vote held on Monday.

The newly acquired television set in the Rumpus Room
has been another means open to students for obtaining infor-
mation upon which to base their final opinion of the candi-
dates and their respective parties.

The students did their best to make information avail-
able to the campus at this very important time in our nation-
al lives. It was up to you to weigh the facts and make a ra-
tional decision as to whom you would support. If you did
this, you performed the duty of every college student: you
took advantage of the material available and made a decision.



Fellowship Guides

|Literary Efforts

Applications will now be accept-
ed for the Lucy Martin Donnelly
Fellowship of Bryn Mawr College,
a fellowship in creative writing or
research in the humanities, of the
value of $3000 for the year 1953-

54.
The fellowship is given in mem-
ory of Lucy Martin Donnelly, 1870-
1948. A member of the faculty for
many years, Miss Donnelly was
Professor of English and head of
the department from 1911 until
her retirement in 1936. The friends
and students of Miss Donnelly who
value the distinction in letters and
scholarship that she revealed in
her personality and her teaching
have founded this fellowship to
provide for talented women oppor-
tunities to develop their creative
powers or to pursue constructive
research in the humanities.

It is open to women who are
citizens of the United States or the
British Commonwealth. Awarded
on the basis of distinction in writ-
ing, it may be used either for cre-
ative writing or for research in
the humanities. Candidates ‘who
wish to use the fellowship for re-
search should already have made
progress that is equivalent to the
usual requirements for the Ph.D.
degree. :

The holder of the fellowship will
be expected to reside at Bryn
Mawr for some portion of the
academic year (October to June)
unless in the opinion of the Com-
mittee of Award special permis-
ison should be granted for resi-
dence elsewhere or for travel. The
fellowship is not to be used to ful-
fill the requirements for any aca-
demic degree,

The holder will have no academ-
ic duties, for the purpose of the
award is to enable her to devote
her entire working time to creative
writing or research. Established in
1949, the initial award of the fel-
lowship was made last year to
Miss Elizabeth Bishop.

Applications must be submitted
before January 15, 1953. Appli-
cation blanks and further informa-
tion can be obtained from the of-
fice of the President, Taylor Hall.

Interested Guests

Visit B.M. Campus

Merion Hall buzzed with conver-
sation on Monday, October 27. It
was the scene of after dinner cof-
fee for thirty-four girls from
neighboring high schools. Two
students and one faculty member
from seventeen different schools
had attended a buffet dinner at the
Deanery sponsored by the college.
Invited to hear Professor Perry
Miller’s lecture, the students heard
a preliminary introduction to the
lecture by Mr. Berthoff at the
Deanery.

Interest in Bryn Mawr and in
college life in general was high,
although, according to Mrs. Paul,
the girls were invited primarily to
stimulate closer relations between
the college and _ neighboring
schools. The administration seeks
to make local students feel at
home at Bryn Mawr, hoping that
they will feel. free to attend such
lectures, and will get a taste of
college life. In accordance with
the program, another group has
been invited to hear a lecture on
November, 24.

Letter

Miss McBride Urges
Students Report
All Earnings

To the Editor of the College News:

Information on all the jobs held
by students and on their total earn-
ings has seemed impossible to se-
cure. How many people would
make a record of each baby-sit,
each assignment of typing, etc?
The obvious guess is that very few
people would be bothered.

But this information has become
more important than ever before.

(1) Entering students trying to
plan for college and the higher
fees want to know how much they
can expect to make.

(2) Corporations considering gifts
for scholarships want to know how
much students earn.

iWe can’t answer unless we have
a complete and accurate survey.

Can we attempt the impossible
and find all the jobs students take
and all their earnings?

Mrs. Sullivan and the Vocational
Committee are preparing conven-
ient forms for the reporting of
this inconvenient information.

Please accept the inconvenience
of reporting all your jobs and
earnings! One year’s accurate sur-
vey will give us the basis for help-
ing both present and incoming stu-
dents.

Sincerely,
Katharine McBride

T.V. Set Attracts
Relaxation Seekers

by Joan Havens, ’56

The box-like monstrosity which
has of late been seen decorating a
table in the rumpus room in Good-
hart Hall is not a missile from
Mars or a new-style bomb detec-
tor. It is Bryn Mawr’s new tele-
vision set. Since its installation
last week it has become a much-
used and enjoyable feature of the
room.

At almost any hour, students
who have prudently finished their
work, or otherwise, can be seen
sprawled in front of the set, or
frantically twisting those four
treacherous little knobs, attempt-
ing to get a program instead of a
bunch of wave lengths.

Actually it is a fairly simple
process for an _ intelligent Bryn
Mawr student to procure a good
program; the RCA Victor set is a
good one, with a large screen. The
exploits of Hopalong Cassidy and
college football teams show up
equally well.

Half of the cost. of the set, on
which we were given a discount,
was defrayed by the college. The
remainder was paid for by funds
of the Undergraduate Association.
To clear up wide-spread confusion
on this subject, it should be stated
that this money is not from the
Common Treasury. Dues will not
be increased due to the purchase of
the set.

tails, ears, hoods, or stripes.
Spirit also helps make a hall
play successful ‘and Rock’s fresh-
men had the inécessary enthusiasm.
Every member of the class had
some part in the production and

there were no outstanding ac-

tresses. There: was, instead, the
feeling that everyone was working
together to produce a wonderful



play.



Such decisions are a necessary part of education, and an es-
santial part of the preparation. necessary for us to assume



our place among the voters in the United States.



Van Doren Views
Value of Student

especially contributed by
A. Blaisdell, 53 & L. Lawrence, ’53

Three essential qualities for a
teacher are: a desire to talk, a
need to explain, and a readiness to
listen. With these must be coupled
a mastery of subject, says Mark
Van Doren. Although the teacher
can gain this mastery from re-

search, he must also be willing to
learn from his students.

The most valuable student is the
one who says he does nét under-
stand; from him the teacher learns
where he has failed. For, the
teacher who thoroughly under-
stands his subject can explain it.
But, Van Doren adds, any amount
of knowledge is lost to the student
if the teacher underestimates his
students’ maturity and knowledge,
if he is condescending to “ignor-
ant” students, or if he considers
himself more important than his
subject matter. The teacher must
not stand between subject and
student lest the teacher’s person-
ality is remembered rather than
the material he teaches.

Mark Van Doren’s talk was one
of the highlights of the confer-
ence on college teaching held at
Haverford last week in which sen-
iors and teachers from fifteen col-
leges and universities participated.
Other problems discussed included
the place of research in the teach-
ing profession. As Louis Green of
Haverford asserted, research is
necessary but not sufficient. Teach-
ing and research should be mutual-
ly sustaining efforts. In addition,
Dean Harry Carman of Columbia
emphasized that tteaching should
never be considered a means of
financing research.

Pay Days Provoke
Expensive Delusion

by Joan Havens, ’56

That noble Bryn Mawr institu-
tion, Pay Day, is fast approaching.
What is Pay Day? It occurs six
times during the college year; one
can charge just about anything—
ranging from a toothbrush in the
hall bookshop to a tome on “The
Why and Wherefore of Organic
Chemistry” —to Pay Day. Pay
Day operates on the theory that
signing one’s life away, momen-
tarily speaking, for a date a month
or so in the future is superior to
dying in the meantime in slow in-
stallments.

Pay Day is ideal for three types
of students: procrastinators, those
who are lazy, and those who just
hate to pay for things. At Bryn

| Mawr dwell many belonging to a

distinct species—Pay Day Procras-
tinators. These deluded souls
would never think of paying cash
for so much as a book of matches;
they put off paying much as they
probably put off reading their
course assignments ’til tthe last
week of\the semester. Unfortun-
ately for them, it is impossible to
put off Pay Day itself.

Those students who employ Pay
Day due to laziness may be quickly
disposed of here. They charge to
Pay Day either because it is too
much trouble to carry a wallet, or
because it is easier to sign on a
Pay Day list than to count out all
that money or make out a check.

As for those who merely object
to paying for all things, Pay Day
for them is a sort of rationaliza-
tion. Théy' imagine that since
they’re not paying cash, they’re
not paying, period. But like both
the aforementioned groups, ’though
they manage to stave off the
guillotine, so to speak, for a time
— it does eventually fall, and fall
swiftly and painfully, in the form
of Pay Day.

Denbigh Transmits
Quality of Fantasy

by Barbara Drysdale, ’55

“Was she young or was she mid-
dle-aged?” asked a member of the
audience after seeing Rosalind,
Denbigh’s production for the
Freshman Hall Plays This cer-
tainly was, the question raised by
James M. Barrie’s delightful play.

Awarded honorable mention by
the judges, the production brought
out very well its fantasy-like qual-
ity despite the difficulties of stag-
ing and the absence of a male lead.
Perhaps these superficial techni-
calities but forced the audience to
use their imaginations more fully
as they were meant to do.

Mrs. Page, an actress famous
for her portrayal of Rosalind, was
excellently characterized by Doris
Kaiser, whose delivery and man-
nerisms were almost on a profes-
sional level. The change from Mrs.

Norristown Sees
Juniors Perform

by Margaret McCabe, °54

When the curtain closes, the
show is over. This is a statement
that is usually true of Class shows.
But on Thursday evening, October
30, the Juniors pulled the curtain
once more on Opening Soon. At
Norristown Hospital, sans costume,
setting, and make-up, as many ex-
cerpts as could be assembled were
given for the hundreds of patients
who were able to come to the au-
ditorium,

All the songs were sung by cho-
rus and solos; the Desert Dune
was given with Director Bobby
Floyd playing the part of the
beauty, ‘Bathsalome; the Extrava-
ganza was reproduced in toto; and
Ann Shocket gave all that very
necessary backbone at the piano.
Out of this melange, each patient
could find something that was
pleasant whether it lay in the lyrics
or the music alone.

A general feeling of ease per-
vaded the group that took part, for
Ann Shocket and Gloria von He-
bel had worked with these people
during the past summer and
through them there was a definite
link of acquaintance. Gloria, by
retelling the skeleton of the plot,
clarified the meaning of the songs
in their relationship with the
story.

There are a host of varied feel-
ings that go along with giving a
show after the set has been struck.
This time we were presenting the
show to an audience unbiased to-
ward Bryn Mawr, and in that

freshmen staged a Command Per-
formance Saturday night. Amy
Heinel directed the’ performance,
and Cynthia Dunbar managed it,
with Jane Miller acting as upper-
class adviser. The Maharajah him-
self, convincingly played by ,Vir-
ginia Hunt, demanded the partici-
pation of his guests, mostly Brit-
ish tourists, in a game of chance.

John Kirby, played by Cynthia
Sutherland, was the cold-hearted
scientist selected by the group to
judge which one of them should die
in the sypposed game. Dr. Henry
Collins, portrayed by Ann Ipsen,
begged excuse from dying because

of his service to humanity. Laura- |.

lee Stearns, as the second-rate,
novelist Claudia Winters, excused
herself for her potentialities as a
writer. Albert Rossetti, an Ital-
jan painter who demanded excuse
on the grounds of his services in
art, was played by Marcia Gold-
stone.

The most noticeable failing of the

Radnor Generates
Eerie Atmosphere

by Janet Warren, °55

A Ghost in the House, William
S, McKinley’s adaptation of the
Thurber story, “The Night the
Ghost Got In”, ‘was the play pre-
sented by the Radnor freshmen on
Friday night. ‘This performance,
which was truly in accordance
with the Hallowe’en spirit, was di-
rected by Connie Alderson. Joan
McElroy as the fluttery mother
who had ghosts in to tea, and
Mary Ellen Fullam as the grand-
father who thought he was Gen-
eral Mead gave very convincing
performances. All the actors suc-
cessfully conveyed impressions of
general eeriness—particularly Pat-
ty Gilmartin, who played the
ghost.

The fact that there were a great
deal too many male parts in the
play was the main reason that the
performance was not as good as it
could have been. But Leah Shanks

overcame this difficulty well. The
policemen were also good, although
one or two less of them would
have made the scene in which they
appeared more orderly. This scene
was the only weak spot in the di-
rection of the play—the remainder
was very competently managed.
On the whole, A Ghost in the

| House was a good performance,
| overcoming the quantity of men’s

parts with some ease.

Perry Miller Gives

Immediate Interest

As Defining American Romantic Ideas
by Margaret McCabe, ’54

In the midst of his very busy
day here at Bryn Mawr, Mr. Perry
Miller, Professor of American Lit-
erature at Harvard, sat down to
answer some questions pertaining
to his past academic affiliations
and his present research in con-
nection with his topic for the eve-
ning, “Transcendental Genius and
American Democracy.”

Mr. Miller’s immediate interest
lies in the task of searching for
and defining the Romantic con-
cepts in America; not just Amer-
ica but the America of today. He
questions that the European con-
cept of romance as seen in Car-
lyle and Byron with its aristocratic
connotations, can exist in America,
and itis in his forthcoming book on
the ‘early 19th century, Romantic
America, that he plans to assem-
ble his views on the question. Al-
though the Romantic era, by
name, is past us by a century, Mr.



Miller wants to study the results|:

of an attempted application of
romantic concepts in America to:
the situations of today. ;

Because of academic positions’
held in the East and West of the
world, Mr. Miller referred to him-,
self as a type of “ambassador”. As
Professor of American Literature
at the University of Leyden in
Holland in 1949-50 and again this
summer at the University of
Tokyo, Mr. Miller was given the
opportunity to teach Anjierican
Literature to people who were in-
terested in it for literature’s sake.
Japan tends to be more eager;
probably because tradition has not
culturally, kept her looking down

her nose at us. Through our
literature, Mr. Miller believes we
are reaching a great many people
who are interested in knowing us
as Americans.

and particularly for a time to
those in the Philadelphia area, to
introduce themselves to the public
and to ask the questions that seem
most pertinent or disturbing to
them of today’s leaders in all fields.
The Junior Press Conference is a
half-hour TV show every Sunday
morning that presents four college
students as a panel to interview
important men in fields of ‘politics,
the United Nations, education,
sports, and many others.

The idea of Junior Press ‘Con-'

|ference originated with Mrs. Rut

Hagy who was impressed by the

action to The Bulletin Forum and
to Youth Asks ‘Twenty Questions.
Here, she felt, was an opportunity
for college students to show their
intelligence and air their views,
but for :this to be effective the
shows must be student staged—
not student stooged. The students
of Beaver, Penn, Temple, Rose-
mont, St. Joseph’s, Villanova, Hav-,
erford, and Bryn Mawr could form
a revolving nucleus of material to,
draw on which would be supple-
mented by out of state collegés
whenever possible.

Repartee Enriches
Non-Res Portrayal

by Ellen Bell, 53

“T can’t argue about any argu-
ment until I know what argument
you are arguing about”, shouted a
very un-Juliet-like Juliet (Ros
Simon) to a pompous Romeo (Sara
Stiffler), in the animated non-res
play, Juliet and Romeo, given in
the Skinner Workshop on October
5 ig

Kit Masella successfully direct-
ed the play, for it was lively as
well as easy to follow and enjoy-
able to watch. Ros Simon and
Sara Stiffler energetically charac-
‘terized temperamental actors. They
were adequately supported by
Juliet’s maid (Mayo Swan), an old
soul who is greatly distressed by
Juliet’s hardheartedness, and a
sentimental admirer, a onetime
Romeo (Ellen Spector) whose mel-
lowness contrasted sharply to the
biting sarcasm of the younger
generation.

Sara Stiffler, as Romeo, took
more opportunity to ham her part
than the others. If the maid and
the old man could have more ob-
viously “acted” their parts, the

Correct Old Maids

Inhabit Pem West

by Mary Alice Drinkle, ’53

Pembroke West’s freshmen pre-
sented an adaptation of Katherine
Mansfield’s The Daughters of the
Late Colonel for their hall play on
Saturday, November 1.

The play was enjoyable primar-
ily because of the convincing por-
trayal of all of the characters,
especially of the two maiden
daughters and Kate, the maid.

Since there were so many sim-
ilarities between Josephine and
Sophia it would have been very
easy for,them to be just “type”
characters and not individuals.
However, Louise Todd and Char-
lotte Smith did successfully dis-
tinguish between Josephine, the

| more conservative and sober sister,
1} and Constantia, who was more ro-

mantic and flighty. This differ-
ehce was shown distinctly at the
beginning of the play and was
carried through to the end. When
Conestantia suggested, “Oh, let's
have a love affair!’ and Josephine
answered, “Constantia, how inap-
propriate!” the audience immedi-
ately understood the difference.
The similarities of the sisters
was brought out whenever a third
character such as Kate, the maid,
came on the stage. Their common
characteristics of dependence and

Carefully organized confusion
characterized Pembroke FEast’s
production of Starstruck present-

by Edie Kaden, and his secretary,
Judianne Densen-Gerber, try to
deal with a teenager, Lucia Boy-

Merion Evidences
Convincing Acting
by Lynn Badler, °56

The freshmen of Merion Hail
displayed fine cooperative talent
as they presented their contribu-
tion to the dramatic world of Bryn
Mawr. On Saturday night at
Skinner Workshop they produced
The Long Christmas Dinner, a one-
act play by Thornton [Wilder. |

The play was set in the dining
room of a family at Christmas
time. Evolution of the family, of
the inhabitants’ opinions, even of
the changing world outside, was
viewed through the family’s dia-
logue. It spanned about ninety
years, from the Civil War times to
the modern age.

In the family itself, the change
of outlook in relation to their house
and town was symbolic of the di-
vergence of the family from their
ancestors’ customs. At the _ first
dinner the house was a cherished
one; it slowly lost its value until
one by one the inhabitants left it
for far places. e

The acting was very convincing.
Lee Berlin as Charles—the third
generation of the family—and Jo
Ann Elegant as his wife, were es-
pecially notable. H, L. Simpson
as Genevieve also had a difficult
job which she performed well. The
job of these actors was to show
the difference in voice, feeling, and
outlook of their characters through
the years, and they did well for the
small amount of practise they had.

The choice of the play was poor,
for it contained a drama too force-
ful for non-professionals to do
with finesse. Director Jane Kea-
tor and Stage Manager Helen Ha-
gopian are to be congratulated,

Von Laue Finds Mauwrters Attentive,

Scholarly, Neither Bored Nor Boring

by Barbara

“Bryn Mawr girls are the most
scholarly of the students I’ve
taught,” declared Mr. Theodore
von Laue, whose history teaching
at Princeton, Swarthmore, and now
Bryn Mawr gives him an unques-
tionably excellent background for
comparison. Bryn Mawrtyrs are
more attentive, more satisfactory
students, and do _ exceptionally
thorough and independent work.

Mr. von Laue tags himself “a
Princeton man, at least by label,”
having completed his education
there, if not his football schedule.
After his B.A. and Ph.D. were
tucked away, he taught at Prince-
ton, and later attended the Rus-
sian Institute at Columbia. Rus-
sian politics and culture are his
pet projects; these were chosen
from his selected field of history,
which Mr. von Laue terms as an



“analysis of where society goes.”



Fischer, ’55

His presence in the department
of history this year is preceded by
a varied training in both the
United States and Europe. Brought
up in Germany until 19387, he at-
tended Nazi schools and received
a “good German _ education.”
Nazism, however, was faced with
the force of old ideas known and
kept by parents, friends, and
churches; thus, initially, the impact
of the new dogma was not com-
pletely extensive.

Away from school, Mr. von Laue
admits his weakness to be cham-
ber music, and in the intentional
absence of radio and television,
takes advantage of records. Less
classically, he plays the guitar and
sings for relaxation. He is only
moderately interested in the the-
atre, but discusses movies at
length. Recently, the most ap-

Students Meet Experts
On TV Press Conference

must be enough of a success to in-
sure money donations for a fund
for students’ traveling expenses
and to infuse colleges all over the
country with this idea so that they
will ask for a program in their
city or state. But this is only the
first step, for Mrs. Hagy has a
plan that could possibly material-
ize within the next three years:
an international youth conference
or festival that would discuss all
phases of cultural development.
The general plan would be the
same as with the Junior Press
Conference: a panel to irterview
experts on movie, radio, TV, jazz,
sports, etc,

The program on Nov. 2, “Why
My Party (Will (Win” featured
Pennsylvania’s Republican Con-
gressman Hugh Scott and Phila-
delphia’s District Attorney, Dem-
oerat Richardson Dilworth. This
time the panel was entirely out of
state with the two college chair-
men of the national campaign,
Roger Moore of Harvard, Repub-
lican, and Allard Lowenstein from
Yale, Democrat, supported by two
boys from the Universities of
Michigan and North Carolina. The
going proved hot and heavy as
Scott and Dilworth battled out
their opposing views and Moore
and Lowenstein drew vehement
and sometimes acid comments
from the two men.

Some of the questions were:
How can Eisenhower justify his
agreement with Taft? How can
Stevenson draw the line between
“good” and. “very good” in his
portrayal of Hiss’ character? At
the end of the program Mrs. Hagy
tried to induce a semblance of or-
der to what had sometimes border-
ed on confusion, as questioners
and questioned very often spoke at
the same time and interrupted
each other, by asking Dilworth
and Scott to predict the outcome
of Tuesday’s Voting.

The next program on Sunday,
Noy. 9 at 11:30 will be “College
Football, Sport or Business?” and
will bring to a panel Robert Hall
and Francis Harvey, Directors of
Athletics at Yale and Pennsyl-
vania respectively. The idea of
Junior Press Conference is a good
one, but if it is going to succeed it
must. have student interest, en-
thusiasm, and participation.

man of the world). supplying the
humor, sarcasm, and Americanism
to the group, was well done by
Lynn Duchovnay. He was excused
for being too cowardly to die.
Mabel Morrison, Carline Chitten-
den, a doting mother, demanded to
be excused on account of her child-
ren, but: was refused because she
left them. Wendy Hoar, as the
singer Jeannette Lawrence, gave
an excellent portrayal of a wom-
an suffering from rejected love,
love of Kirby in her case. She de-
manded that she die, and Kirby
finally chose her instead of Mabel.
When the Maharajah informed
the group that the game was not
in jest but was for the revenge of
his son’s death, the debonair Van
Loon broke the suspense by gaily
walking to the death. The palace
scenery was enhanced by Ayah,
played by Margaret Schwab and
Rahjput, by Ann Harris. A fine
combination of suspense, love, hu-
mor, fine acting, and beautiful
scenery made the show a memor-
able Command Performance.

Important To Constantly
Grow, Says Von Laue

pealing was “Rash-o-mon,” which
followed his disappointment in
“Miracle in Milan”, promptly dis-
missed as “too, too miraculous and
pure escapism,” even though the
idea has possibilities. He feels
that there is a certain lack of
human refinement and sympathy
in films; the average person main-
tains an aloofness parallel to his
own social status, and rarely
knows a contrasting situation, as
for example, the tragedy of “Death
of a Salesman.”

In this trend, Mr. von Laue
stressed the importance of sincere-
ly transcending one’s own limits,
of bridging class gaps, of the im-
portance of growing as a person
all the time. He praised the
Friends’ Work Camp highly for
having been able to have different
groups work together on a com-
mon goal, providing a superb dis-
traction from individual differ-
ences,

He both likes and admires Bryn
Mawr and its students (who
neither bore nor are boring), but
warns the college woman: “your
trouble begins after college!” An
intellectually adept girl is happy
and proud in college; unfortun-
ately, too many of them marry
into situations where they lose the
intellectual activity and mental
stimulation which they demand,
need, and enjoy.

The von Laues seemed to have
solved the problem neatly. (Inci-
dentally, Mrs. von Laue is a Bryn
Mawr graduate). They have two

was the whole play, with insight
and sensitivity.

Portraying a young man (whose
father considers him merely “an
expense”) is a thankless chore for
any actress, especially when the
young man is so matter-of-factly
in love. Mary Cahn as Charles
gave him quite credibly the ex-
treme youth which made him so
lovable; furthermore the audience
did not often have to think “it is
a girl playing a boy who’s saying
this.”

Gail Ames played the truly mid-

warmth and sincerity. Her char-
acterization contrasted well with
the elusively middle-aged ‘Rosa-

indecision were then obvious.

Kate, played ‘by Bobby Gold-
stein, was also well portrayed. The
rendition of her first line “Fried

and domineering and she continued
to be snippy and domineering in
every line of her part.

Ann Hobson, as Cyril, the im-
patient English businessman, and
Beth Scherer, the soft-voiced Mr.
Forral of St. John’s, although not
so successfully in character as was
the rest of the cast, certainly did
their part to point up the char-
acte1: of the two sisters.

The production and staging of
The Daughters of the Late Colonel
added greatly to the coherence of
the play, The setting was appro-
priaté and natural, with its focus
on the portrait of the late colonel.
The play did not drag and it was
not too long. Lynn Dallett, the
freshman director and Minnie Cas-
satt, the upper class advisor, as
well as the actors, should be con-
gratulated for a well-acted, well-
integrated production.

announces that “actors thrive on

He replies, “All right, from now on
I will give you a great big smack,”
and adds “When you die so dra-

across my chest instead of across
the pit of’ my stomach?”

The old, man later compliments
this casual fall, saying, “I’ve seen
some who seem ito select the anato-
my on which to fall,” and adds
that she had formed “a perfect

other hand, has not compromised

with any Democratic candidate.
Concerning Korean policy, Eis-

enhower’s position has changed
drastically since his speech in‘ Abil-
lene, Kansas. A magazine editor
suggested he go to Korea, so Ike
said yes; a poll has proved that
soldiers now on the Korean battle-
front are against his visit by the
vote of two to one. There are three
ways we can handle the situation
in Korea, concluded Mr. Brown.
First, we can hold and fight it out
in the mature way. Secondly, we
can make a drive and possibly get
lost in China the way the Germans
got lost in Russia. Thirdly, we can
surrender and give up. There is
obviously only one answer.

His broad experience, both as a

led someone to consider him as
“world-size” in comparison to the
“Tllinois-size” Stevenson. More-
over, Moscow has a healthy re-

spect fur Ike as is proved by the
time spent by Pravda in discredit-
ing him.

This college and many other in-
stitutions are endowed by private
enterprise; as the government
gains more and more control. they
will cease to exist. General Eis-
enhower has spoken strongly for
individual freedom.

General Eisenhower, she con-
cluded, is running for the presi-
dency as his own man, uncommit-
ted and unobligated—‘a no-deal
man.” :

“It is my contention that a vote
for Adlai Stevenson is a vote for
the two-party system,” began Mr.
Bachrach. In terms of power



publicans and Democrats are lined
up against the Liberal Republicans
and Democrats. It is an interest-
ing paradox that although in the
last three presidential elections
forward-looking liberal new-deal-
ists have been elected, the conserv-
atives have managed to control the
government.

Freedom cannot survive if this
continues; a strong liberal force
must be maintained to withstand
the reactionary movement sweep-
ing America today. What will hap-
pen to freedom if we elect a pres-
ident goaded by reactionaries?
Liberals must be on the positive
side as well as on the defensive.
Under a liberal congress and pres-

finely-wrought timepiece, given to
the college by Dr. Florence C.
Child of the class of 1905, in mem-
ory of her sister Dorothy, Bryn
Mawr ’09.

The clock has an interesting his-
tory of its own, for it was made
in 1810 in Philadelphia, by Dr.
Child’s great-grandfather. To
those who despair of finding the
accurate time in the reading room,
as well as to those who enjoy an
heirloom that is lovely to look at,
this new gift will remain as a dec-
orative as well as useful memorial.

leather strap, three intwined
initials on the back. Contact

Affected by Smoking Chesterfields

FIRST SUCH REPORT EVER PUBLISHED

ABOUT ANY CIGARETTE



Aresponsible consulting organization has
reported the results of a continuing study by a
competent medical specialist and his staff on the
effects of smoking Chesterfield cigarettes.

A group of people from various walks of life
was organized to smoke only Chesterfields. For six
months this group of men and women smoked their
normal amount of Chesterfields— 10 to 40 a day.
45% of the group have smoked Chesterfields con-

tinually from one to thirty years for an average of

10 years each.

The medical specialist, after a thorough exam-

“It is my opinion that the ears, nose, throat and

accessory organs of all participating subjects ex-

six-months period by smoking the cigarettes
provided.”

Calm Rebuttals Clarify
Problems of Corruption

the old guard and gain the liber-
als.

The Republicans claim that to-
day’s economy.is based on war.
They are not facing the problem
of economy realistically and carry-
ing this argument to its logical
conclusion. This is the problem of
peace economy and Stevenson is
the man for peace.

Mr. Brown began the rebuttals
with a series of points. Stevenson,
he said, has had considerable ex-

perience on a world-wide scale, in-}
eluding work with the.United Na-

tions and the Department of State.
Stevenson has taken an active
stand on communism—let it be
handled by professionals, meet
spies with counter-spies. He ex-

pressed his concern over the Re-|. Bae
‘ice Commission announces exam-

publican attitude of not if but
when war comes. In a big gov-
ernment with big business there
has always been corruption. Stev-
enson has a good record in IIli-
nois, with only a few Chicago scan-
dals, and even Dewey cannot con-
trol corruption in New York City.

Mrs. Manning replied that the
question of corruption is not how
it started’ but what can be done
about it. If it were not for con-
gressional committees we would
not even know about corruption,
crime, and communism.

“It is my contention,” said Mr.
Bachrach, “that corruption always
exists when we have this static
condition within our society.” To
remove corruption, we have not
“the symptoms but the causes to
get rid of ... hence, Stevenson.” It
is imperative to have a_ liberal
president to fight against thought
control.

The definition of compromise
should be clarified, demanded Miss
Yeager, and differentiated from
the policy of using good men in
the best places.

Liberalism was defined as a tol-
erance for the other fellow’s belief
by Mr. Bachrach in answer to a
question from the floor. Miss Rob-

bins added that the liberal had not
only tolerance, but also a sense of
responsibility even if only slightly
better off than the other fellow—
a sense which she thinks the Re-
publican party does not have.

Give the Republicans the oppor-
tunity to govern before judging
them, asserted Mrs. Manning. If the
party is not in power, she conclud-
ed, McCarthy will remain a great
force whereas in a powerful party
he is likely to count for very little.

Election results, 467 for Steven-
son to 389 for Eisenhower, were
announced right after refresh-
ments had been served. The Gym
was decorated for the occasion
with streamers, balloons, and



countless campaign posters.
