Politzer Reads;
16 Translations
Of Eng. Poetry

Opens With Discussion
Of Translator’s
Problems

By Hanna Holborn, ’50

For anyone who attended the
German Club presentation of “The
Gentle Art of Translation,” there
can be absolutely no doubht. that
Dr. Heinz Politzer is a poet of the
first order. We hope he will pub-
lish his beautiful and_ sensitive
German translations of sixteen
English poems ranging from the
16th to the 20th centuries; most of
them are unsurpassable.

Dr. Politzer prefaced his read-
ing with a short discussion of the
nature and methods of translation.
German literature, he said, is given
in a much higher degree to trans-
lation than any other language,
and a large number of the fore-
most German writers have trans-
‘lated foreign and classical works
and used them as sources. Among
such outside influences, the great-
est has been Shakespeare (“an
essentially German poet translated
into Englissh by an unknown man
named William Shakespeare’),
strong in every generation of Ger-
man writers up to the present. This

N.S.A. Will Send
10 Tours Abroad

The (NSA has planned a summer
program for 1949, which includes
ten study-tours to Europe and
Latin-America, five work camps in
Europe and a seminar in Italy.

At ‘Sorrento, a seminar will be
conducted in Latin literature, arch-
itecture, Roman history and arch-
aeology. Trips have been planned
to Rome and Naples, and to the
dibrary of the philosopher Bene-
detto Croce.

Other tours are planned to every
country in Western Europe: the
tri-nation tour to France, Holland,
and England; a northern tour to
England, Holland and Scandinavia:
trips to France, Italy, and Swit-
zerland. Tentative plans are being
made for tours to Eastern Europe
and Mexico. Work camps in Hol-

The Ladies Home Journal, an er-
udite and stimulating magazine,
has sent us a questionnaire com-
posed by one Miss Weyl, who
writes that she is interested in
“collecting more material on the
fun side of college.” Feeling that
the time has come to face the facts,
we reproduce both questionnaire
and answers, in the hope that all
may benefit from this vital and all-
inclusive survey.

Q. Do the students at your school
have fun?

A. Well, y-e-e-e-s.

Q. How?

A. Hegel has said, and we agree

Do most students wait until

Stearns Explains
Quality of Self
In Philos. Paper

Commons Room, February 24.—-

Q.



the Philosophy Club, Miss Isabel
Stearns presented an analysis of
“The Nature of the Person.” She
postulated that the self, in this
context identical with the person,
could not be defined significantly
tmerely in terms of its being or
becoming. A third concept must
oe added to these two before the
analysis can be completed: that of
the self as “that which mediates
its own change” between its actual
nature as manifested in its past
activity, and its potential nature,
as_manifested_in the process of
actualization through the self’s be-
coming activities in the present
with direct reference to the future.

“In a sense, the self is an inten-
tional continuum ... manifested in
its. conative nature, its dynamic
thrust.” The person, Miss Stearns
went on to explain, is at the same
time being, becoming, and existent;
it carries with it always the triple
reference to past, future, and pres-
ent. The quality of the self char-
acteristic of its nature as deter-
mined by the past jis that of reten-
tiveness or conservation; of the
present, reflexiveness; of the fu-
ture, transcendence.

There is the possibility, Miss
Stearns asserted, for the self to
dissociate into several discontinu-
ous selves, analogous to the selves

Both Playwrights’

Collier, Jones Present
Original Plays
Friday
by Betty Lee, ’52

Skinner Workshop, Feb. 25. Two
original plays were produced Fri-
day evening, the first Playwright’s
Night. The plays were written in
Mr. Thon’s Playwrighting class
and directed, staged and acted by
the authors.

The first play “How Like An An-
gel” by Reg Collier, acted by Lois
Miller, Sam Henderson and the au-
thor, had a magazine-like theme
but was well developed and writ-
ten. The dialoguing was convinc-
ing, but some uncomfortably long
black-outs made the production
drag and lose contact.

The second one-act play, “The
White Witch of Rose Hall” by Ev-
an Jones, caused much suspense
because of the excellent acting of
Lola Mary Egan, Richard Johnson
and the author. The scene was
laid in the West Indies where a
white witch was thought to haunt
Rose Hall, an old mansion bought
by an estranged American couple,

Delegates Meet
In Mock Session

Of UN Council

The first session of the Model
Security Council was held on Feb-
ruary 23 at Bryn Mawr. Delegates
from seventeen schools in the Phil-
adelphia area gathered at the
Deanery to discuss the admission
of Spain into the UN. Amidst
much buzzing—(‘“but Great Brit-
ain isn’t really for it;” “Well, she’s
going to be tonight”’—‘“‘We passed
Argentina on the way up—it’ll be
here any minute.”—“But what do
you do in a Deanery?’) — the
delegates took their seats around
a placard-laden conference table.
Frances Edwards, chairman of
the meeting and head of the Bryn
Mawr-Haverford delegation, repre-
senting Egypt, announced that the
provisional agenda would be fol-
1owed. Despite the dismayed whis-

Argentina (Beaver) presented a

stating that “the Spanish people
themselves should peacefully re-
store self-government.”
Great Britain (Swarthmore) to
the surprise of everyone who had
not been caucusing beforehand,
supported the resolution, saying
that the non-political agencies of
the UN could help Spain to raise
her standard of living. In answer
to a question from the Ukraine

in policy, Britain remarked non-
chalantly, “The policies of any na-

Nights Successful;

Plays Show Contrast and Competence

Goldberg, Dyson, Lynch
Present Scripts
Saturday

~~ By Joan McBride, °52

Three original scripts were pro-
duced at the Skinner Workshop on
Saturday night, February 26, the
second Playwrights’ Night. Inherit
the Wind, by Helen Goldberg, was
a play about a girl with the wan-
derlust and her attempt to break
away from the attentions of her
family. Though the situation was
rather unconvincing, because much
of the building dialogue was with-
out significance, there were prom-
ising character developments and
quite a few amusing lines. Also
commendable was the contrast be-
tween the happiness of the family
in the beginning and the eventual
dissolution into quarrels and bit-
terness. There was good observa-
tion in the indecision of the family
as to where to hang the picture,
although the whole episode was
poorly contrived.

Kramer Animated

The cast included Margo Vorys,
Nancy Riley, David Thomas, Sue
Kramer, and Harriet Rhodes. The
best part, that of Mrs. Gorse, the
talkative visitor, was given to Sue
Kramer, and she did an expert
job with it. In her bouncing walk,
flightly gestures, and incessant
chatter, she succeeded in portray-
ing “the closest thing to an ani-
mated cartoon.” David Thomas,
as the disappointed father, was
also sympathetic and convincing,
and Harriet Rhodes, though she
started off slowly, warmed up to
her part in the end.

The second play, Intrusion in
August, was written by John Dy-
son and seemed uncomfortably
reminiscent of previous and better
dramas on the same subject. The
entire play was much too dramatic;
and the symbolism of the mother,

More Plays, More Actresses

In 1925, the college adopted a new dramatic regime:
varsity drama was substituted for the old system of class
plays. “We are used to charming settings in our class plays,”
the NEWS critic wrote, “ ... and to several good actors in
each class.” Minor roles were often badly played, however,
and the total effect was unsatisfactory. Varsity drama was
intended “to produce plays more interesting to act, direct,
and stage, and to produce them with higher standards .. .”.
After the first production, the new policy was judged im-
mensely successful, and class plays were abandoned forever.

At that time, it may have been a good thing. But now,
when, analogously, in the field of sports the trend is to devei-
op class and hall as well as varsity competition, it might also
prove worthwhile to supplement Drama Guild productions
with less “professional” plays. That there are many poten-
tially fine actresses at Bryn Mawr was made clear during the
presentation of original scripts this last weekend. With ex-
perience and some competent coaching, they should be able

to do very good work indeed. But there are never enough
women’s parts in the Drama Guild plays to give everyone
who is a potentially good actress the chance to develop her
talent. More and better plays, with less expensive productions
and more emphasis on real acting training, might very well
be the answer to the increasing complaints about Bryn Mawr
dramatics.

The NEWS feels that it is particularly important for
those classes who do nothing together to have a chance to get
loose in Goodhart and do all the amateur acting and singing
and dancing they have a mind to. Perhaps a sophomore play
might have some effect on that class’ notorious slump. We
feel that at the very least the whole purpose and function of
organized dramatics at Bryn Mawr should be re-examined,
and the desirability of extending acting opportunity to every-
one who is capable of profiting by it be kept in mind.

Current Events

Dr. Marion Levy discussed the
problem of Modernization in China
on the basis of the traditional con-
ditions that are still pervading in
that country, and which prove to
be a hindrance to a rapid modern-
ization. For the social pattern of
China is the same as that which
existed some 2000 years ago, name-
ly, that of a family-oriented so0-
ciety. There is strong solidarity
between the members of the
Chinese family, which makes for
a tie that is stronger than any
other social obligation. Chinese
families, especially the peasant and
middle class families, are highly
self- sufficient, so that they can
afford to live within themselves.

The ideal family for the Chinese,
as Dr. Levy pointed out, is then
a large family, and the Chinese
put great stress on their high birth

tive health conditions, the death
rate among children is high, rough-
ly..about four times.as high as in
the U, Bs

Family Relations

Relationships between_ the
Chinese are not specifically defined,
as they are in the Western coun-
tries, but are, as Dr. Levy termed
it, “functionally diffused.” That is
to say, they are based on the in-
dividual’s relations with his fam-
ily rather than on the individual
himself. Family relations play the
same important role in the selec-
tion of officials for the bureaucracy
and workers for the modern in-
dustries that are being installed
in China. For in those cases, too,
it is on the basis of who the peo-
ple are, rather than on their skill,
that they are hired. In the bureauc-
racy, any nepotism that might be
caused by this method of selection
is prevented, not by disturbing the
principles of family privacy, but
by keeping officials far from their
families. However, the modern in-
dustries need skilled workers, and
the Chinese method of selection is
a serious hindrance there.

Altogether, Dr. Levy was pessi-
mistic about a rapid moderniza-
tion of China.Although there is
absolute need for it, both from the
point of view of hygiene and of
China’s survival as a power in an
ultra modern world, China’s prin-
ciples are entirely different from
those that have made the present-
day industrial powers.

well as the plot and acting was
very well done ,and the play was
an interesting contrast with the

Joint Letter From ’°52
Upholds Hell Week
Tradition

To the Editor,

Many Freshmen wouid like to
express opinions on “Hell Week”
other than those stated in last
week’s NEWS. Although there are
some cases in which it may have
been carried a little too far, we
feel that as long as it doesn’t in-
terfere with work, the show, sleep,
or health we are all willing to go
along cheerfully with whatever the
Sophomores ask. Since it is all



rate. However, because of primi- !

actually done in a spirit of fun, it
is really better all around if the
|feeling is reciprocal.

| “Hell Week” and its customs are
a part of the college traditions
j whieh help to make up a great
deal of the college spirit, and to
make college more fun. It also
serves to make the Freshman Show
week much more important, and
‘to further highlight Saturday
morning’s wonderful custom.

The main thing is that if it is ta-
ken and done with a sense of humor,
in such a way that everyone has a
good time, then it certainly
achieves its purpose. Those of us
who enjoyed it'in that spirit know
what fun it can be, both at the
time and in retrospect. For these
reasons we feel that “Hell Week”
definitely should not be condemn-
ed, as its merits far outweigh its
faults.

Eliminate Hell Week
From Bryn Mawr
Say Sophs
_ We feel that although the opin-
ions recently expressed in The
News about Hell Week were per-
tinent, they did not represent the
point of view which it seems a
good many people hold. As soph-
omores, we have been through both
stages of Hell Week, and we don’t
think that we have profited from

either one,

‘We understand and appreciate
the work which the freshmen are
putting in on their show and feel.
that the additional annoyances of
Hell Week could easily become the
last straw. As for the effect which
Saturday morning has, the sur-
prise would be even more wonder-
ful if it gave the impression that
the whole college was and had al-
ways been completely behind the
freshmen. The way it stands now,
there is an undertone of “Con-
gratulations — now that you’ve
proved you can take it.” We do
not understand why this surprise
must be preceeded by a period gen-
erally annoying to all four classes,
to say nothing of the faculty dur-
ing the day, and the maids at din-
ner. The ingenuity of the fresh-
man class is apparent without
their having to prove themselves
by wearing tank suits and calling
us Miss.”

If we were mad as freshmen it
was righteous indignation, but as
sophomores, we have nothing but
shaky tradition to fall back on.
Since this tradition has been ram-
pant at Bryn Mawr for only about
ten years, why can’t we let it go?
Freshmen next year will be no less
happy and pleased on Saturday
morning if we dispense with the
artificial animosity which is now
considered a requirement.

Mock Security Council

Holds Debate on Spain
Continued from page -1

When voted upon, the resolution
was defeated.

The Ukraine then introduced a
resolution providing for the ex-
clusion of Spain from all agencies
of the UN. This, too, was defeated.

A compromise resolution was
next introduced by Canada, pro-
viding for the immediate establish-
ment of a Board of Governors,
headed by the Regent, which would
hold democratic elections when
Franco died or “retired.” If Spain
would comply with this it would
be admitted to special agencies,
and eventually to full membership.

With the technical wrangling





over the legality of the resolution
that ensued, the meeting, for the
first time} seemed like a true rep-
lica of the Security Council. The
resolution was finally declared out
of order because it would interfere
in the internal affairs of a nation.

At this point, various delegations
started sending out frantic notes—
“Would you support a resolution
to... 2?” “Will you go along with
us on... ?” but, even before all
their data was in, it was voted to
adjourn the meeting and the dele-
gates rushed off to drink punch,
catch trains, have their pictures
taken, and tell each other that
Franco should be shot.

Politzer went on, that German
poetry is less independent than
that of other European countries;
it is rather an important aspect
of the great German concept of
“welt-literatur.”

Going on to define translation
as a “major creative effort,” Mr.
Politzer said that the translator
must substitute humility for am-
bition in his task. The renuncia-
tion of knowledge and ambition
involved, he said, are compensated
for by the “new creative vistas”

the translator understand the poem
structurally, but he “has to love
his original . . . despairingly, pas-
sionately, self-forgettingly.”

As he began the reading of his
translations, Dr. Politzer declared,
far too modestly, that he hoped
his own work would live up to his
demands. He said that he thought
some of his translations did. As
he read them, it became apparent
that all of them did. He read beau-
tifully, and with great feeling. The
poems were first read aloud by Dr.
Lattimore in English, with Dr.
Politzer’s translations of them
coming right after.

flowers, and tree was rather over-
worked. Some of the speeches,
though consisting largely of fake
‘poetry, were interesting; but they
were, disconnected and lacked unity,
as did the whole production.

The only character that had in-
dividuality was Virgie, and much
of that was implied by Joan Bow-
ers’ fine performance. She played
a frightened woman on the verge
of insanity with compassion and
skill amazing for the brief rehear-
sal period.

Comedy -Melodrama

A Matter of Money, by Harold
Lynch, was the final presentation,
and was the most polished in com-
position, though not in production.
As a “comedy-melodrama,” it con-
cerned an American counterfeiter
working with foreign revolution-
aries, with an undercurrent of the
conflict between idealism and ma-
terialism. Though there were
many instances of labored at-
tempts at clarification and_several
of the conversations were too long-
winded, the play contained an
abundance of original and comic
lines. Especially amusing were the
acid comments on American civil-
ization, revolutions, and _ politics.

As the Irish “soldier of fortune,”
Jack Zerra gave the most lively
performance. His brogue did not
slip noticeably more than once or
twice, and he conveyed his con-
fused state of mind well. Bud
Walker was also good as Captain
Kovak, who might be called “the
character that never developed.”

In all three plays, the actors and
directors must be commended for

Fire Dance and ‘Limbo’ Encores
Add to Gaiety of Square Dance

By Ann Anthony, ’51

A capacity crowd, in about even
proportions of “gents” and “lad-
ies” filled the gym for the square
dance with Penn and Haverford
last Friday night. The yellow-
ribboned hosts and hostesses didn’t
have to urge much to get people
out onto the floor; every inch was
crowded with sets of four couples
skipping nimbly to the directions
of caller ~Ricky Conant. . “Swing
your partner and promenade home
. Duck for the oyster, dig for
the clam ,and shoot on through to
the promised land,” these and oth-
er maneuvers were performed with

coa with two 40-year-old bachelor
friends, one a musician, the other
a Communist. Both were very in-
terested in “the American girl”,
and kept barraging me with “what
did you think of Roosevelt?”, “Do
all Americans have two cars?”,
“How about Russia?”, and “What
do you think of the New Look?”.
A Bryn Mawr examination seem-
ed easy compared to the questions
that kept turning up last summer.

After a week of helping with the
housework, seeing art collections in
the Amsterdam Museums (includ-
ing some marvelous’ Rembrandt
and Van Gogh), learning chess in
the evening with the boy from
Dutch Guiana and discussing mu-
sic with the Knytysers’ brother,
the whole group of Dutch and
American students went on a boat
trip through the north of Holland
on a reconverted coal barge. Al-
ready I had become very attached
to Holland and particularly the
Dutch. Several of the students had
worked in the Underground dur-
ing the war, and through talking
with them, I began to understand
what years of occupation can do to
a country and a people; I began to
realize what it means to live in a
country which has passed its Gold-
en Age some 300 years ago, but
which is still immensely proud and
resourceful,

Then back to Amsterdam where
I moved in with my second family,
the Swairings. Spent most of my
month with them figuring out ra-
tion coupons, shopping with Kiki,
age 19, talking in the evening with
relations over several cups of tea,
and over the weekends Art Muse-
ums, exploring Amsterdam, trips
to the Hague and Delft.

Gave the Swairings a much-
needed rest when I was packed off
for a week to work on a Catholic
farm outside Amsterdam. Only
one of the eight members of the
family there spoke English, but



agility by the dancers. The Schot-
tish sent the couples one-two-three
hopping around the gym. To
shouts of ‘‘Fire, ‘fire, fire, fire,” the
couples advanced on to the next set
in the Fire Dance.

The square-dancers caught their
breath while some of the Freshmen
sang their show songs. Katusha
Cheremeteff, who had been pre-
vented from doing her “Russia’s
So-o-o Cold,” in the show because
of an infected foot, was on hand
with the “Tolstoy family” to sing
of the “Reds turning blue.” Bar
Townsend and Caroline ‘Price gave
a peppy rendition of ‘Good-bye
Bryn Mawr, We’ve Had Enough.’
The poker song was sung by Tuc-
ker Marks, Ellen McIlroy, and
Ginny Hollyday. Using a fencing
foil for her broom Trish Richard-
son, who played the maid in the
show, sang “The Morning After.”

During another pause in the
dancing, Dick ‘Cameron from Hav-
erford sang cowboy songs, accom-
panying himself on his guitar. His
“Blood on the Saddle” was the eli-
max of his very entertaining per-
formance.

Doris Hamburger and Janie
Stone, who were in charge of the
dance, deserve much credit for the
success of the evening. It is hoped
that there will be more square
dances in the future. A student
from Haverford announced the for-
mation of a folklore group. If in-
terested, see Janie Stone or the
gym department for further in-
formation.

somehow it didn’t seem to matter;
the only important thing was to
get the oats in before the sun went
down, and the boys could always
use sign language to teach me how
to milk a cow!

The next week a complete change
of atmosphere, when I went from
piling oats and hay on Holland’s
flat, often below sea-level, farm-
land, to hiking through the Arden-
nes in Belgium with the same
group of Dutch and American stu-
dents. Belgium indeed is the land
of plenty compared to Holland. One
Dutch girl had her first banana in
9 years! Our first stop was Bruges,
as mediaeval an atmosphere as I’d
ever felt. However, almost com-
pletely destroyed villages in the
Ardennes, reminders of the Battle
of the Bulge, soon brought us ab-
ruptly back to the 20th century.

A short visit to Paris and 4 days
with my family in Amsterdam
made the last two weeks in Europe
almost the best. I no longer felt
ill at ease with the Swairings and
could discuss everything from In-
doneia to the morals of the young-
er generation without being afraid
that the slight language difficulty
would make things sound the

The Freshman class_ benefited,
perhaps unconsciously, from Hell

together than ever before. Walk-
ing across campus, Freshmen from
different halls would pause to
laugh at each other, and to ex-
change notes on the fate of their
fellow-classmen in other halls. It
aroused a spirit of class conscious-
ness, a desire to stick together
through the “worst,” and to show
those old Sophomores that we are

Aid Needed in Sending
American Books

To England

February 24
To the Editors:

It was gratifying to note the
publication of Mrs. Desmond
Flower’s letter in the last issue of
the News. Mrs. Flowers asks for
help in distributing American pub-
lications and books among English
students. It seems to me that this
ts an exact case of working for
better understanding and good re-
lations between the United States
and Great Britain. There is need
for enlightenment rather than im-
provement. It would be nice, for
example, if most average English-
men didn’t believe that most aver-
age Americans pack revolvers a la
Hollywood.

is enjoying her stay in England
as much as ever. Denny. writes
“How is BMC? While you suf-
fer from snow, we are having glor-
ious spring weather, and all the
crocuses are out along the “Backs.”
Cambridge is such a pleasant place

developed a system for loaning
books and publications to various
groups in this country and in Eng-
land. .Since they do know what
is available-and what is needed in
both countries, it would seem wise
to consult them before making an)
moves. Mrs. Flower’s suggestior
for a subscription to be given by
us to one of the English Commo
Rooms is an excellent one. How.
ever, in addition to that, the con-
tact between countries and be-
tween peoples would be more live
dy if the exchange were constant.
Whether Bryn Mawr wants to
help and be helped should be decid
ed by the student body. Perhaps
the al:eady existing Library Com-
‘mittee could investigate, carry the
issue to the hall, and then, with
the support of the Library and
Administration, go to the E.S.U.
for their help.
It is through this kind of ex-
change that real understanding
and real friendship is built up.
