B. Rustin Sees
Way To Peace
In Non-Violence}
Warns Against False
Security Bred
By Arms
Bayard Rustin, director of the
Fellowship of Reconciliation, dis-
cussed “Religious Pacificism in
Action” in the Common Room on
March first, under the sponsorship
of the Alliance.
As he spoke, Mr. Rustin continu-
ally emphasized and _ illustrated
two points: a true spiritual secur-
ity can never be obtained — but
only false security—by stockpiling
weapons to resist the threat of in-
vasion bred by fear and distrust;
real justice will never come from
the temporary justice of protect-
ing the innocent unless the op-
pressor is converted at the same
time.
To prove his points, Mr. Rustin
began by reviewing the world sit-
uation, stating that at the end of
each war there has been less
democracy, and that people who
fought, thinking they were destroy-
ing dictatorship and militarism,
later discovered that they had’
really strengthened anti-demo-
cratic forces. He cited treaties
giving Stalin more power in Asia
and then mentioned our attempt to
rebuild and re-militarize Germany
to oppose Russia. We argue for a
strong military force
Stalin, Mr. Rustin said, and end
up with the same rigidity and reg-
imentation that we fear in others.
“We argue for military power |
. it gives us security.” The
fact is “the deeper the insecurity
becomes, the higher becomes the
weapons’ pile. This does not mean
that the pacifists have all the right
answers, but to achieve security in
the end, one must voluntarily ac
cept some insecurity. Both Russia
and the United States want inter.
national control in the end, and
neither is willing to sacrifice per-
sonal security in the meantime
To gain real security in the end
however, one side must say: “Re-
gardless of what you do, I will do

When the NEWS caught up
with Alice between her 9 and 10
o'clock classes this morning, she
said, “I’ve been so busy thinking
about the rest of the elections (she
was carrying a stack of ballots for
the League presidential election),
that I haven’t really had time to
think about my own ... of course,
I was very excited when I heard
the news yesterday.” Alice was in
her room, “listening to the Franck

jawfully long time to notify the

“External influence and internal

Reveals Research
_ The everlasting problem of find-
ing the origin of life was discussed | |
at the Science Club Lecture at
.| Dalton,
Tuesday night, by Dr.
Helen MacDonald who spoke on
Dr. William Reich’s experiments
on Biogensis. His theory, based
on the idea of a unit of life, the
bion — simpler than a -cell — was}
evolved to explain the experimen- |
tally observed transition (accord-
ing to Dr. Reich) of inorganic to
organic matter. The bion, or unit
of structure, contains ongone en-
ergy or life-energy which is pres-
ent universally. Containing the.
orgone of the biological energy in
a living organism, the bion is the |
form of life precedent to the high-
er one-celled animals or protoza.
The connecting link between the
postulation and the example of
life energy, the bion was further
defined as a microscopic, visible
vesicle of functional energy; the
transitional form from non-living
to living matter is a unit of energy
consisting of a membrane, liquid
content, and a certain amount of
orgone energy. This theory holds
that the energy of living matter
comes from non-living matter, an
idea which is aes to most
scienitsts, but “ .. . philosophical-
ly and logically we know it is
true.”

College Student's
Emergency Role
Viewed By Dean
“What ie-the Contribution of the
College Girl in the Present Emerg-
ency?” was the question discussed
by Mrs. Marshall Friday evening
in the Deanery, following the din-
ner which opened the conference
of the Eastern Association for
Physical Education of College
Women, which was held at Bryn
Mawr last weekend.
Mrs. Marshall remarked that
the emergency situation is very
different for men and women, at
least on the college age level. Men
have little choice; they will be
drafted. Women, however, have
to make all their decisions them-
selves. The simplest answer for
a woman who feels heavily obli-
gated morally is to enter the
service, but the simplest answer
is not always the best. The con-
sensus of opinion, said Mrs. Mar-
shall, is that women will not
be drafted. The World War II at-
titude toward women has changed;
women are no longer in demand to

Stresses Basic
Unrest Of Asia
Horror of Imperialism
Blocks Effective
Co-operation
Mr. Amry Vandenbosch, Profes-
sor of Political Science at the Uni-
versity of Kentucky, last Monday
at 8:30 p. m. presented the fourth
in the series of Anna Howard
Shaw lectures on Conflict and
Change in Asia. He spoke on
“Southeast Asia”, stating that
there were two important factors
determining the history of the
area: 1) the region was until re-
cently nearly all colonial; 2) there
is a very low standard of living.
“The basic problem is poverty,
gnawing hunger.” The ever-rising
birth rate assures more and more
mouths to feed, and Southeast Asia
cannot feed her current population
of 170,000,000 properly. The ‘As-
ians are bitter because the United
States aids Buropean countries
which are turning communist any-
way. They feel that our money
should be used to rehabilitate their
countries, which have been upset
by western influence. They black-
mail thée~United States into help:
ing them by threatening to turn
communist unless they are helped
Asia demands “help with no
strings attached” because’ she
fears, again, imperialistic motives.
She feels that “our problems are
so complex that only a totalitarian
government can solve them.”
Before the United States can
provide Southeast ‘Asia with the
technological impovements it needs
civil wars and communist attacks
must cease, Mr. Vandenbosch con-
tinued, for now we must send arms
to fight these wars. We are aid-
ing “extremely weak and corrupt
governments”, which were damag-
ed considerably during the war,
especially in the Philippines. The
Japanese occupation forces stimu
lated crime and turned them
against the West. We cannot re-
form these governments, which we
must help combat communism, be-
cause they fear imperialism.

Breaking Down Classroom Barriers
The classroom is an important source of learning; it is
the fundamental difference between college and independent
study. It should, therefore, provide more than a student can
obtain from books alone. Lectures and class discussions
should develop the student’s method of grasping essential ma-
terial and relating to it the important details. Obscure points
must be clarified. A class period should result in inspiration
and stimulation of individual and independent thought.
Too often, however, a student fails to receive the advan-
tages of the class , in some cases because she is indiffer-
ent, has failed to pr the assigned work, or prefers a long
weekend. In other cases the sincere student finds that she
can use‘her time more profitably by studying alone, than by
attending classes. Some classes have only potential, not ac-
tual value. The general standard set for classes at Bryn
Mawr is extremely high and it seems that both students and
faculty would benefit if that standard were continually met
and the latenf excellencies realized.
The deficiencies of the sub-standard classes are few and
would take little effort to correct. A not infrequent failing
is a lack of public speaking ability. A professor may not
enunciate clearly, may not project his voice, or may not vary
the quality of his delivery. Again, he may not have fully de-
veloped the art of teaching and explaining ideas. Some lec-
tures rely on the paper-to-you presentation, repeat the text
book, or confuse the student with disorganized material.
' Breaking down these barriers would be mutually bene-
ficial to students and professors. The student would obvious-
‘dy absorb much more of the instructor’s enthusiasm and sa-
gacity. The improved ability of the professor to express his
ideas and interpretations clearly in the classroom would be
ef value to him in any writing or lectureships he might un-
dertake.
Everyone knows that the professors in this college are
among the most intelligent in the country. The students,
therefore, particularly regret that this great abundance of
knowledge is sometimes just out of reach. In order that both
the students and the faculty may be helped, the professors
should realize individually, if they have not already, more op-
portunities for over-all improvement by the classroom. The
many classes thet reach these high standards, regardless of
ps: cena are also the most popular, which indicates
general appreciation of brilliant scholarship combined

Current Events
The Current Events meeting
this week consisted of a panel
discussion on the topic “Does
Europe Welcome American Lead-
ership?” The scheduled speakers
were Miss Robbins and Miss Lo-
grasso. (Because Miss Robbins
could not attend, Miss Horrax,
supplemented by Mrs. Manning,
gave Miss Robbins’ views on the
subject.
Miss Robbins’ thesis centers
around the belief that American
propaganda antagonizes Europe,
for the United States emphasizes
materialism too much and yet is too
idealistic. The peoples of Rurope
want to learn about such new con-
struction in America as the TVA,
and life in the American small
town and the peoples’ interest in
civic affairs. The image they re-
ceive of America through films (a
form of U. S. propaganda) is es-
sentially a bad one. In conclusion,
Miss Robbins makes a strong ap-
peal for more intelligent propa-
ganda. She even feels that Con-
gress should delegate funds for
the purpose of giving Europeans
an honest picture of the U. S.
Miss Horrax supplemented this
report with a few of her own im-
pressions of (European feelings,
The most surprising factor is the
unfavorable reception Americans
receive in Europe. She commented
that Europeans resent the U. S.
as a visitor assuming a lead-
ing role in Europe. If America
wages a protective war, France is
likely to remain neutral; France
resents the rearmament of Ger-
many. For the most part, the Eur-
opean people want to be left alone.
Miss Lograsso concentrated her
discussion on Italy’s feelings to-
ward America. The Italian atti-
tude is quite contrary to that of
other Europeans. There is a strong
Communist influence in Italy, but
the Italian government seems not
to fear the threat. Italians have a
genuine love for all that is Amer-
ican; they have a desire to learn
all they can about America, and
they are anxious for raw materi-
als, so they can manufacture prod-
ucts for themselves and Europe.
The Italians have demonstrated
their appreciation for America’s
generosity by making constructive
use of Marshall Plan funds and by
adhering to ‘Atlantic Pact regula-
tions. Miss Lograsso states the
Italian attitude in these words:
“Yes, it is high time America took
the leadership she has been reluc-
tant to take.”
Mrs. Manning supplemented the
panel by saying Europe feels that
we have not experienced what real
war is; they are not sure of the
sincerity of our propesals. We must
prove our desire for peace by ac-
tual deeds, by supporting our
promises in the U. N., and not by
merely talking. She offered an
opinion somewhat opposite to Miss
Robbins’ by saying that there is no
need for propaganda in Europe.
Dean’s Vacation Theory
Approved By U.G. Pres.

Mrs. Marshall told Alice that
now she ought to take a long va-
cation in Florida, until after
spring vacation. Alice thinks the
idea is delightful “if Mrs. Mar-
shall will provide the finances,”
but says she “would prefer Ha-
waii!”
The new President of Undergrad
may not have had much time to
think about her new job, but she
talks about it with an air of seri-
ous consideration, as well as quiet
pride. Her realization of the im-
portance of the association which
co-ordinates all the organizatjons|

On College Health
\A Apanel discussion was held in
the Deanery last Saturday morn-
ing in connection with the Physi-
cal Education conference. Sabra
J. Hook, Skidmore, Janet Kelley,
C.C.N.Y., and Helen F. Stochen,
Temple, with Moderator Lucille
Verhulst, (Syracuse, enumerated
the new. opportunities ‘and methods
that college physical education de-
partments have and can use in or-
der to make adjustment to college
easier for students.
Miss Hook cited that, since ten- ]
sion is one of the major causes of
physical and nervous disorders,
physical education departments
should stress physical fitness in re-
lation to the ability to relax, and
adaptability. This last is espec.
ially important. Miss Kelley em-
phasized that both the social
standing and standards of college
entrants are brought under strain
as they find themselves among
peers with unfamiliar backgrounds
and codes. This tension can either
result in instability, or it can pro-
duce secure, mature persons.
The emotional, social, and phys.
ical developments of an individual
go hand in hand, said Miss Stro-
The college is expected to
perform four duties for students:

ents, assist them in their choice of
a vocation, encourage their proper
social development, and urge them
to accept responsibilities,

fill men’s jobs, but rather to do
things which they can do better
than men.
Of course, women uphold many
of the institutions which are in-
cluded in the term, “American way
of life.” Mrs. Marshall said that
her advice to the college student
would be: “Stick to what you’re
doing, but do it better and with a
greater sense of responsibility and
greater determination.” The im-
portance of keeping educational
systems alive during this period is
tremendous; we can’t give these
up, whether or not we go to war.
New Self-Gov President
Serious, Slightly Dazed
Continued from Page 1
Gov election hadn’t quite been ful-
ly realized. She kept saying,
“This hasn’t taken effect, you
know—in a few days I’ll be like a
shot of adrenalin turned loose.”
The slightly dazed young lady
went on to tell us that without her
battered lab coat she never could
have gained admission to this
year’s Self-Gov meetings. Her
hallmark is a burn, a stain, and a
hank of Claire.
‘{’m sorry. I feel as if I were
being hard to interview, but hon-
estly, I don’t know what to say.
I’m pre-med, and I’ve always
wanted to be a doctor. Splinters
are my specialty. Incidentally, my
digestive system’s in quite a tur-
moil right now. Outside activities
—well, gosh—who has time?”
It struck us with particular
force that Claire was not only
very happy and very thrilled about
the election. She was equally ser.
ious, quietly proud. She is com-
pletely aware of the seriousness of
her job, and earnest as she ponders
it. “You can’t say that Self-Gov
is 600 people”, she said. “You must
say that 600 people are Self-Gov-
ernment. I’m happy, and proud,
and every other adjective you can
think of. But I know that every
student on campus is one very es-
sential six-hundredth of Self-Gov.
I only hope that I can do the job
well.”

Writer Deplores Lack
Of Candidates’
Pictures
February 28, 1951
To the Editor:
The Editorial of the pre-election
week NEWS stresses the responsi-
bility of the student body in the
matter of College elections. It
seems that the NEWS is not set-
ting an example to the student
body and is shirking its responsi-
bility as a reliable source of in-
formation on campus. ‘The NEWS
has no less than six staff photog-
raphers and this year, for the first
time, there are no pictures of can-
didates for major offices, while
John K. Fairbank merits a photo-
graph. The photographs of can-
didates serve an important part in
identifying names with actual
people, which is especially helpful
to underclassmen.
Furthermore, the listing of can-.
didates for Self-Gov., Undergrad.,
and the League seems to indicate
that the NEWS does not consider
these office important enough to
have them listed in prominent
positions. One has to search for
the nominations for President of
the League, while Self-Gov. and
Undergrad. candidates are placed
underneath less important offices.
It is a pity that the NEWS has
not been able to live up to the
standards suggested by its edi-
torial.
Sincerely,
Marianne Klein, ’51
The NEWS wishes to defend it-
self on several points mentioned
in this letter. First: the slate of
four candidates for Self-Gov. Pres-
ident was not known until 8 p. m.
Monday. In order to have pictures
in the COLLEGE NEWS, cuts of
the photographs must be made.
The last possible mail by which
photos may be sent special delivery
to the engravers is the early Mon-
day morning mail. Even though
the Monday evening mail seemed
much too late to send out the Self-
Gov. nominees’ photographs, the
NEWS, on an outside chance, sent
them anyhow, having them mailed
in Philadelphia. The cuts did not
arrive at the printers as expected
on Wednesday, and room had been
left for them at tht top of page 38.
The spaces where the Self-Gov.
pictures should have been were fill-
ed with sophomore candidate infor-
mation. The only space that could
be left for the League nominations
was at the bottom of the page. To
the best of the NEWS’ knowledge,
this election reporting is the most
up-to-the-minute that has been
done in recent years.
Results of voting on Tuesday, of
course, were not revealed in time
to have cuts made. The slates of
eight were not revealed until the
class meetings. It was therefore,
impossible to send in pictures ahead
of: time of the eight, and use
whichever four won. Also, the ex-
pense of throwing away four cuts
per office is more than the NEWS
can bear.
This difficulty with photographs
is minor compared to the difficulty
of obtaining finished photographs.
If special photographs have to be
taken — as is practically always
true of the general run of NEWS
photographs—it takes at the very
least twenty-four hours to get the
film developed before mailing.
The NEWS appreciates Mari-
anne’s letter because it provides
the opportunity for an explanation
of why, sometimes, the NEWS does
not have the pictures its readers
would like to see. It also demon-

Irish Work Viewed
In Rare Book Rm.
Currently on view in the Rare
Book Room is a copy of the Book
of Kells, the gift of Miss Sarah
Gibbs, ’38. The Book of Kells, chief
treasure of Trinity College, Dub-
lin, was written about the 7th cen-
tury. It derives its name from the
Monastery of Kells, founded by
Columba, where it was preserved
until it was stolen.
The volume contains the Four
Gospels in Latin, worked out in
minute detail. It is considered one]!
of the best examples of the color
ful mediaeval Irish art. There are
profusions of monstrously elongat-
ed snakes, birds, lizards, and
hounds, with interlaced ribbon
work, and spiral forms that give
off adjacent spirals. While the pat-
terns are of disputed origin, and
the artists hesitated to depict his-
torical scenes or human figures,
the pages of the Book of Kells are
of the highest degree of regularity
of details and show some of the
most careful work in all of Irish
manuscript illustration.

Nevertheless, the ‘prospect of a

my memories.
I can remember when the quiet

the responsibility of losing face
if others are to have security. A
nation can never have ultimate se-
curity without accepting some in-
security along the way, without
taking a calculated risk.
Turning to the problem of jus-
tice, Mr. Rustin said that we are
mistaken to think we can equate
opposing sides in terms of justice.
Justice “springs only from a com-
bination of good will and mercy.
There is upon every man the re-
sponsibility for stopping injustice, |:
but he can never stop it unless he
uses a force different from eye-
for-eye and tooth-for-tooth.” The
responsibility for the religious,
man lies not only in protecting the
innocent, but, more important, in
appealing to the unjust, and re-
moving his injustice peacefully. We
must show that “it is never the
pursued, but the pursuer who is
in danger.”
Mr. Rustin felt that it was not
so much a matter of sacrificing
one’s self for a community, as it |
was a problem of determining the
boundaries of that community.
“The nature of the universe is that
the whole world is tied together,”
and that it is really one world or
none. “The sacrifice and insecur-
ity must be for the total of man-
kind, or it will never give se-
curity.”

served what is valuable by the use
of the military,” Mr. Rustin con-

Griggs with complete success.
She’s a real southern belle, who
has refused to outgrow her idiot
youth. Her husband, the General

wants a divorce; she cannot and
will not understand. Miss Eldridge
plays the role in a manner that
makes one irritated with her, and
yet now and then swayed by her
charm, and finally sympathetic
with the lonesome woman. Her
character is well worked out. Her
husband, well done by Colin Keith-
Johnston, is a very shadowy part;
apparenty undeveloped in the writ-

The scientific thing’ to do is to turn
our energies to some new method.
“It is not sensible to say that the
thing which has never saved others
wil save us... Not that every

thing more basic will happen to
us.”
He then likened Russia to a
dinosaur that could not adjust to
new situations, and said that such
a@ new approach might throw her
off balance and lead to disaffection.
By saving Europe we can’t save
ourselves, but Mr. Rustin would
rather see us use violence than
stand by idly, if we are not ready
to try non-violence. The pacifist
accepts the inevitability of conflict
and struggle, he said, but his
methods of dealing with them are.

There is, however, no precedent for

are sixty to seventy thousand
party members in our country and
for each member there are ten
sympathizers. “They are Amer-
ican problem children... Many
of the extremists are young, and
youth in itself is excusable.” But
are they all dangerous?
There are four types of com:
munists in the United States to-
day, each of which creates a prob-
lem which must be dealt with on
a separate basis. First, there are
those who present genuine imme-
diate danger, the actual emissaries
of the Soviet Union. Their fate
should be left up to the FBI and
other established channels for
dealing with spies. The second are
among the Negroes; an alleviation
and bettering of their living condi-
tions would thwart this growth of
communism. The third are the
radical teachers. And fourth, in
the spot where great danger would
emerge in the eventuality of a war,
is labor. Communist labor lead-
ers are just as much a part of the
U. S. labor problem as the recent
walking out of labor on the mobil-
ization board. These leaders are
only a recent outgrowth of radical
tendencies labor has always had.
“We will get farther by dealing
with each separately than if we
look at them as one great out-
growth of communism,” Dr. Cha
fee concluded.

Need I say there are too many

part was superbly acted and di-
rected. Harold Clurman, the direc-

,means of the Geiger-Muller count-
er. The orgone, coming from the
, word organism, is the life-giving
, Substance which makes the bion
| pulsate or gives it internal motion,
and thus distinguishes organic
from inorganic matter. Saying
that all matter will break up into
bions if put into water, Dr. Mac-
Donald described Experiment XX,
the one upon which the hypothesis
of Biogenesis was formed. One
, part earth is combined with three
parts water and KCl and boiled.
After boiling, the solution is filter-
The filtrate is then put into sterile
bottles and frozen. The orgone
energy present settles in the cen-
ter, away from the cold, and con-
denses into biological forms which
contain bions. Observed under the
‘microscope, the bions are of a
variety of shapes, but all of them
tend toward. roundness, similar to
a bean or embryo. The bions are
identified by their blue color, ex-
cept when under excitement, when
they take on the color red, or all
the colors of the rainbow. If the
dirt solution is evaporated instead
of frozen, threadlike flakes are
formed, which can be kept intact
for years.
The theory is still in its youth,
experiments still going on in the
William Reich Laboratory in
Maine. In conclusion, Dr. Mac-
Donald observed that Dr. Reich
“ ,.. has not produced life and
makes no claims of producing
life.” He has merely “produced
experimentally the conditions for
the development of life”,—Biogen-
esis being the Reich definition for
the continuous process from inor-
ganic to organic matter.
and on the McCarron bill which,
he says, “interferes with freedom
of discussion through organiza-
tions.” These investigating com-
mittees “which possess so much of
the power of the court ought to
behave as if they were a _ court.
Throw out the television cameras
and the newsreel photographers
and leave it up to established pro-
cedure to determine guilt, not
slanderous statements made by
party-prejudiced and election-con-
scious representatives.”

Of course, the Bryn Mawr stu-
dent, while actually suffering
through the agonies of term
papers, the confusion of course
conflicts, and the press of extra-
curricular activities is apt to find,
before she has lost the optimistic
anticipation of the sub-freshman
or gained the mature perspective
of the graduate, that these calm,
ordered descriptions of Bryn Mawr
life are somewhat amusing, not to
say hysterical. In fact, at times,
one feels moved, as one often does
while observing a melodr&ima, to
cry out, to warn the heroine (or
prospective student in this case)
that all is not what it seems to be.
Fortunately, of course, one does
not warn the heroine and cannot
warn the sub-freshman, for, true
to melodrama form, it will all turn
out right in the end.
Credit should also go to the
anonymous photographer or pho-
tographers for the appealing and
realistic light in which Bryn

is excellent, but also for his choice
of feminine subjects. Not one of

strengthen relations with Prince-

Frequently the captions under

Chorus Members Consider Return From Vassar
Highlighted By Goodale’s Vocal Loyalty To Yale
Vassar was enthusiastic and ex-
tremely hospitable; many of us
were startled by smoking in the
;rooms and a pub on the campus.
All too soon, however, we re-em-
barked for Bryn Mawr and the tem-.
perate zone. The high spot of the
trip came when Mr. Goodale, after
insistent clamoring from the en-
tire bus, gave a boisterous rendi-
tion of ‘Antoinette Berby, the coun-
try maid who had a cravin’ for
dear old New Haven and Yale,
Yale, Yale.
We love these excursions. They
are the best part of singing in.
Chorus. Nevertheless, we were all
a little relieved when we finally
pulled up in front of Goodhart an&
stepped out onto solid, muddy,
brown earth.
