Ralph Bunche Discusses U.N. and The Citizen,
Cynicism, Hysteria, Expediency

UN Couneil’s Director
Tells of Colonial

Problems |



Goodhart, April 14—“What -are}..

we to do if we don’t bring nations
together to bridge the world. with

understanding and good . will?”}-
asked Ralph Bunche, who felt that }--:

in this atomic age understanding
‘and good will,
the United Nations, is. vital for
survival.

Mr. Bunche, Director of the Trus:

teeship Council of the United Na-
tions and winner of the Nobel
Peace Prize spoke before the first
Alliance-sponsored college assem-
bly of the second ‘semester on
“Colonial problems and the United
Nations.”

As individuals, our role.is “Eter-
nal dedication to right against ex+
pediency and an imperative neces+
sity for avoiding hysteria.” It ig
up to man to realize the import+
ance of his obligations.and to sum-
mon up all the moral and physical
strength that he can.

Most important, man must re-| di

sist cynicism, which is leading ‘to
lower .moral values, the break-
down of law and authority, and a
distrust of ourselves. The many
‘professional cynics among us havd
few constructive ideas to offer. /{

Must Search for Truth

The role of the citizen, Mr,
Bunche warned, is made more diffi-

~eult in our time because of thd

amount of idle talk. This ‘makes
it imperative that we “sort/out the
truth from the half truth, for therd
is too much narrowly partisan talk
for the good of our national wel
being.”

Inthe college community there
are still scholars at work, but else}

Ireland’s O’Faolain Visits Bryn Mawr;

Gives Talk on Hero i

On Tuesddy,April’, Mr. Sean

O’Faolain, noted Irish author and
lecturer, delivered a speech in
Wyndham on “The Hero in Modern
Fiction”. In his opening statement,
Mr. O’Faolain made it clear that
the major problem of the modern
novelist is to analyze ‘and clarify
his characters and situations in
view of the complexities of the so-
ciety of today.

Modern fiction is no longer clear-
cut, with the struggle between
hero and villain well-defined, It is

ideas put forth by the author un-

acters suffer as a result. They be-.
come unsure and fail to live in the
reader’s imagination.

Mr. O’Faolain, who has suggest-
ed that the title of his lecture
would better be “Six Novelists in

light of the work of six major
contemporary writers. Those



whose ‘work he chose to examine}

e

in Modern Fiction

were, Grahame Greene, Heming-
way, Faulkner, Elizabeth Bowen,
Evelyn Waugh, and Joyce.

~Of Green, Mr. O’Faolain said
that the contemporary lack of
faith in man is reflected in his
work. He employs a mystical es-
cape from human nature, using
miracles to help his characters get
out of bad situations. Greene’s ob-
sessive theme is one of betrayal;
man by man, woman by man, and
God by man. He believes that man
has wo free will of his own, but
must depend on a higher power to
save him from situations of his
own making.

Hemingway, said Mr. O’Faolain,
is similar to Greene in his mystic-
al escape of human nature. Hem-
ingway’s fetish is a mystical con-
cept of heroism, almost always fo-
cussed in a pointless death of the
hero which somehow lifts the char-
acter out of the ordinary. Im the
hero’s moment of crisis, the es-
sence of his character is made

iC. Bigkett Speaks

On World Ins ssues

“The Heart of America is a good
heart for whenever a nation works
for a cause’ and is motivated main-
ly by sincere interest, it is accom-

‘| plishing something,’

Mr. Clarence Pickett, hone
secretary of the Friends’ Service
Committee gmphasized this point
in his talk on “World Problems As
Seen Through the Eyes of Local

Social Responsibility” in the Com-|.

mon Room, Monday at 8:30 p. m.

He stressed the fact that social
service has been passed from the
realm of the family first ‘to the
church, then to the state and final-
ly to the federal government; Thus
the cause of social service has as-
sumed an international «character
involving people of every economic
and social status throughout the
world.

The importance of private insti-
tutions is rapidly declining in view
of increased government appro-
priations in this field. Mr. Pickett
pointed out that unfortunately the
government tends to renounce the
aid of .private workers who work
on the basis of conviction not in
view of personal remuneration.
However, he went on to say that
he feels this time is now past and

Athletic Association Gives Awards And
Delivers Club Reports At Awards Night

On Wednesday night, April 15, in
Applebee Barn, the Athletic Asso-
ciation gave its annual awards and
presented the reports of the A. A.
clubs at Awards Night.

Barbara Bornemann, the Presi-
dent of A. A. for this past year,
began Awards Night by welcoming
everyone to Applebee Barn, and
introducing the chairmen of the
various clubs sponsored by A. A.,
who presented their reports:

The Hockey, Basketball, Badmin-
ton, Tennis, Baseball, and Lacrosse
teams were somewhat unsuccessful
in intercollegiate sports, but felt
that their lack of success was. in
some measure due to the lack of
campus interest and participation
in these clubs.

Outing Club Reports
The Outing Club reported a very

successful year, during which
three trips were taken, with an

average number of 25 participants

on them. The Swimming team and
the Fencing team both reviewed a
winning year. The latter team was
undefeated all year,and-two of its
members took part in the National
Fencing Meet .

The Dance Club, too, under its
new policy of having instruction
by Mrs. ‘Brutten, who teaches mod-
ern dance in the gym department,
has had a very interesting and full





year.

After the reports of the various
organizations, of the A. A. had
been given, Barbara Bornemann
began the presentation of awards.
They were as follows:

Blazer (earned by 4000 points)
to Lois Bodnsal ’54; special pins
(also earned by 4000 points) bo
Phyllis Tilson ’54 and Marilyn
Muir ’54; pins (2500 points) to
Alicia Gardiner ’54; Deirdre Han-
na 755; Sally Kennedy’ ’55; Caro-
line Morgan ’54; and Glenna Vare
"BB.

Owl emblems ( 1000 points) were
awarded to Alice Baer 55; Betsy

College life is just a subject

Sophomores, in the depths of their “proverbial slump,”
long for the happy hunting ground where papers and exams

Bryn Mawr’s population will consist largely of Freshmen:

Fortunately. .(or..unfortunately), approximately 86% of
the Freshmén, Sophomores, and Juniors who were here in

Taxi Prices Vary,
NEWS Tells Why

Because of reports of unreliabil-
ity of both the Bryn Mawr Taxi
company at the Pennsylvania Sta-
tion, and at the Philadelphia and
Western, Station, investigation has
been made of the policiés of both
companies. :

Reports of variance in price
from the college was explained by
the Bryn Mawr company (BR 5-
0513) by the fact that the charge
is made both for distance and time,
arid the time spent in traffic lights
may alter the charge.

In general, this company charges
thirty-five cents from Pembroke or
Rhodes to the Bryn Mawr Station,
and twenty-five cents from Rocke-
feller, From the College to Thirti-
eth Street Station is $4.55, and to
the Airport is $6.00,

Thé taxi company at the Phila-
delphia and Western Station (BR
5-0f18) charges thirty-five cents
from the College to the Bryn Mawr
Station if there is. one person; if
more than one, they charge twen-
ty-five per person.

This company charges $3.50 to
Thirtieth Street Station, and. $4.00

Gym’s Sun Lamps

by Elizabeth Warren, ’56
Been down to the gym lately?

| If so, you’ve probably noticed a

continuous. trickle of somewhat
pink non-athletes coming from the
direction of the A. A. room, say-
ings like “and you get a
whole 35 minutes worth for only
a quarter!”, and “yes, it only takes
tive. minutes, and you look. like
florida came to you!”

‘bu une.uninitiavée (that is, the non-
user o£ tue A.A. room these peo-
pie una their conversation -may
seem a little odd. Not to mention
their coloring—red faces on a
rainy day—this can’t be sunburn!
But it is—it must’ be—it looks so
much like it,

it is. ‘tnere are two new sun-
lamps down at the gym, in the
mysterious A. A. room. By drop-
ping a quarter ‘nto the slot on
each lamp, five minutes (equival-
ent to 35 minutes. of midsummer
sun outdoors) of the sun-lamp’s
tan-giving powers are obtained.
The sun worshippers in
front of the lamp for five minutes,
with eyes protected with sun-
glasses, and mumble incantations
which, I was told, aid in the-get-
ung of a beautiful and even tan.

Perhaps the best thing about
these sun-lamps is that they allow
everyone to get a tan—without
overdoing it. Few people will
spend two quarters in a row—even
for a tan, so few people get really
bad burns—the danger of “real”
sun. Waiting a day in between,
everyone gets more adjusted to
both the idea of spending another
quarter, and to the rays of the sun-
lamp. Then too, one has time to
go to the Bookshop for some more
quarters!

Bard’s Eye View
Spring is here, Oh Spring is here,
The birds are heading north;
Spring fever comes along with

birds,
And sunburn issues forth.

And blisters bloom today;

So we flunk;



So who cares?



Bryn Mawrters Supervise Activities

Of Some Philadelphia Y-Teen Groups

Several afternoons a week, girls
from Bryn Mawr take the P. & W.
to Philadelphia to spend a few
hours with Y-Teen groups there.
There are several groups of girls,
and the prospective leader chooses
from among these which she shall
guide.

For example, among activities
carried on are those of 6th graders
who meet after school for an hour.
The meeting starts off, im the best
democratic tradition, with a busi-
ness meeting, at which the busi-
ness of the day is disposed of, and
the all-important dues collected.

‘Then the group proceeds to do
what was planned at the last meet-
ing. This may be anything from
making scrapbooks for hospitals
to planning parties. - This year,
there was a highly successful Hal-
lowe’en party, to which each guest
brought a contribution.

To learn more about industry,
the group took a trip. to an ice-
cream factory, where the manufac-
tiring process vied for their atten-
tion with the free samples thought-
fully provided. The girls, who
are of high school age, decided that
they wanted to get to know Phil-
adelphia, and spent some time vis-
itimg museums and other points of

_linteresf in the city.

* The Y-teens do not consist of
underprivileged children, .although
the girls are of all racial back-
‘grounds. They merely run on the
theory that the more people do a
thing, the more fun it is. Since
this is the purpose of the Y-Teen
groups, the leader néeds only ‘help
the girls carry out the plans which
they themselves decide on.

Working with the Y-Teens means
helping young girls to express
themselves socially and creatively
by making possible projects which
require guidance. Besides, it is a
good opportunity to share in a lot

Current Events_.

McCarthyism Is Rooted
In U. S., Says
Schneider

Dr. Eugene Schneider, Assistant
Peofessor of Sociology, spoke on

ism” in Current Events last Mon-
day night. Said Dr. Schneider,
“McCarthyism has deep social and
psychologieal roots in the United

States.”
Why does McCarthy have such a
mass following and mass appeal?

of his ideology, which is composed
of one word, communism. He’ never
defines communism, but. builds on
our -rational fear of that force.
McCarthy uses the word itself to
denote something horrible, and
anyone who has not sufficiently
combatted. communism is contam-
inated. ~

Aims at Exposure

McCarthy feels that some. loyal,
patriotic, courageous man like him-
self must lead the fight against
communism because ‘the govern-
ment, schools, newspapers,
radio--cannot be trusted to do so.

Yet McCarthyism has no eco-
nomic program, no plans for social
reform, and no foreign policy. It
merely aims at exposure.

Dr. Schneider said that he was
amazed at- McGarthy’s appeal as
shown by recent Gallup polls. In
January 1954, 48% of the people
questioned were definitely. in favor
of McCarthy. After his encount-
ers with the army and radio com-
mentators, 38% of those ques-
tioned were still in favor of Mc-
Carthy.

This appeal cannot be localized
or confined to certain classes or
religions. Of the white ‘collar
workers questioned 49% favored
McCarthy and 50% were opposed
to. his activities. 50% .of the
laborers favored McCarthyism,
while 23% were opposed to it.

On an educational basis 47% of
the college graduates questioned

opposed to him. 54% of the high
school graduates questioned fav-
ored his policies, and this figure
decreased as the amount of educa-
tion decreased,

Reason for Appeal

According to Dr. Schneider, this
wide appeal is dug, to some national
malaise. People who have been de-
prived of success, security, and a
simple solution to their problems
by modern society seek an outlet
through McCarthyism.

Since the Civil War we have
been living in a dynamic society
due. to urbanization, industrializa-
tion, scientific advances, and
changing social relations. People
have been uprooted both socially

McCarthy attacks those -respon-
sible for this change—the intelli-
gentsia, scientists, and the forces
of urbanization. He provides ‘a
scapegoat for those who have been
hurt and seeks to recreate a Utop-
ian image of a calm, tranquil
America which has vanished.

McCarthy’s backing, as distin-
guished from his following, in-
cludes those who give him financial
and ideological support. In one
sense he is the spokesman of the
losers at the last national conven-
tion. He is backed by a right wing
element which is opposed to social
improvements and increased inter-
nationalism. a

These elements are deeply rooted
in our social structure and are
‘powerful and determined. ‘They
will support McCarthy as long as
he is useful to them.

- McCarthy. as a man is not so im-
portant. If he were carried away
tomorrow McCarthyism, and all its



implications would still be here.

Barbudo Address BMC Spanish Club
On“The Thought Of Antonio Machado”

Thursday, 8:30 in the Common
Room — “E] pensaminete de An-
tonio Machado,” was the subect of
Sr. Antonio Sanchez Barbudos’s lec-
ture at the Spanish club meeting.
Machado, one of the greater poets
of modern Spanish literature, writes
poetry concerning his philosophical
beliefs. To him,
poetry is a mystery of emotion,
not a game of words, as it was to
Gongora.

Machado’s most. important poet-
ry includes Soledades, Campos de
Castilla, and Canciones. In Sole-
daddes, the poet asks himself what
is the nature of a solitary soul.
Tis next work, Campos de Castilla.
shows a’ transition from solitude
and the individual to the country
and poetry of nature.

Realistic Philosophy

Machado is not preoccupied with
himself, but’ with the exterior
world; through a love of the soli-
tude of the world, he hopes to en-
However, in his
Poesia del. egoista,, he transmits
his emotions and experiences to
the reader. a

Holden’s Monster



In Machado’s epoch of-rationalism,
portrayed in Campos de Castilla,
we find an objective world. But
the subjectiveness of thé poet also
appears in this poetry. Many con-
sider the play- between the two to
be the theme of all Machado’s
poetry.

One of the outstanding features
of Machado’s poetry is his realistic
philosophy. This is a direct influ-
ence from Bergson whom he studied
ba ed in Paris. All that is im-
portant to the poet is what he him-
self perceives is a view reflecting
this philosophy.

Machado knows sorrow and an-
guish in his poetry and is con-
stantly seeking an outlet from
them. He is a man who has felt
“la Nada”, or the’ nothingness of
death and believes that the solu-
tion for tribulations or man’s
great questions does not exist. Yet
there is a note of hope in his be-
liefs, for he has not ceased: to seek
the solution, although he believes
it is impossible to find one.

Divides Residents ~

by Rosemary. Rudstrom, ’55

Merion Hall has gained a new
resident. She may be hard to find,
for she .changes*from bright green
with a white stripe down the back
to a dullish brown. Her name,
totally unfeminine, seems to be
“Doc” Jones. This arises from
some confusion about her sex.

Living in an airy room filled
with tropical plants to remind her
of her native homeland, she has
provided Merion Hall residents
with a new hobby which does away
with the trouble of disposing of
cellophane wrappers from old cig-
arette packs. .

As she had found. that some of
her windows were inadequate for

vised of breaking holes in the wall,
and covering the spaces with cello-
phane. . It is ‘hoped’ that the rest

Public opinion about her is di-
vided, with some bélieving that she
is a great addition to the happi-
ness of the hall, while others feel
that she is rather a slimy little
mess. She has no statement to
make about college, although she
is currently working out on a term

The News extends a hearty wel-

and believes that the industrious

an excellent representative of the

Barn’s ‘Supporters’
See ‘Lost Horizons’

Goodhart, April 17, 7:30 p. m.

A novel money-raising scheme
was tried out by A. A. this past
weekend, The Academy Award-
winning film Lost Horizons, with
Ronald Colman, was. shown to
raise funds for Applebee Barn.

A. A, President Barbie Borne-
mann announced that the evening
was a huge success, .despite the
holiday weekend and the event's
short notice. The money will be
used-_to- pay-off the debt-on the
Applebee Barn’s new fiteplace.
The next. goal is to insulate the
Barn, so that its excellent facilities
will be available during the winter
months.

In view of the good. response to
this venture A. A. is looking for-
ward to sponsoring other similar
evenings. The organization feels
that they can make good movies
available at low rates, add to a
weekend’s activities, and increase
their own resources at the same
time. :

Refreshments were sold along
with the showing of Lost Horiz-
ons. es

Ralph Bunche Discusses
International Situation
Continued from Page 1

It'is through the U.N. that in-
dividuals hope to achieve their
aims for peace._.We in the United
States have become more than a
little disillusioned about the U.N.
“In part our disillusionment has
certainly been justified as it has
notable failures; it has also notable
successes, and great strength,
things which its critics,jgnore.”

Many of the critics fear that the
United Nations will encroach on
national sovereignty. They mis-

ye

tions as a possible world govern-

ter and its bodies of. representa-
tives which méet in the form of
legislative assemblies.

The charter, however, is not a
constitution but merely a state-
ment of aims and a guide; The Se-

biy can only recommend, not legis-
late, or,as bodies, compel. The only
action in Which the United Nations
imposed sanction, Koréa,.was done

the member nations. '
No international problem. is in-

faith. It is these essentials that are
often lacking and the U.N. seeks,|
basically, to try to improve the in-
ternational political climate before
it attempts to solve problems.
Without a healthy atmosphere
there is no possibility of any even-
tual solution.
Mr. Bunche briefly discussed the
problem in Palestine. He said:
“Progress depends on the willing-
ness of*states including” our own
to exert concerted effort for peace.”

As head of the Trusteeship Coun-
cil, Mr. Bunche plays an important
part in the solution of colonial
problems. Taking over the powers
of the old League of Nations, the
United Nations supervises the con-
trol or partial control of these
backwards areas. It is in these

areas; especially Africa, where na- | -

tionalism presents tremendous
problems for the world today.

Warren Chairs Education Committee |

Five Bryn Mawr girls attended
the annual convention of the Inter-|
collegiate Conference on Govern-
ment which met in Harrisburg!
April 8-10. . This meeting marked

voted upon to be presented to the
general session of Congress.. The

| committes heads for’ these were

elected by the region from which
the School comes, Elizabeth War-

the twentieth birthday of ICG, | yen ’56 chaired: the committee on

statewide collegiate organization
which gives practical experience in|
government politics. This year the,
theme was that of a Model Nation-)
al Congress, with the election of a’
speaker of the house from among
the delegates.

The business of the Conference
officially began at 6:30 on Thurs-'
day evening, when a dinner was
held at the Penn-Harris Hotel in
Harrisburg. The speakers at the,

gene McCarthy, Democrat from
Minnesota, and a Harrisburg_at-
torney who represented the Re-
publican Party, both of whom
spoke on the position of their par-
ties in the National Government.
After the dinner, a dance was held
for all the delagates.

On Friday morning, committee
meetings began. The Congress. was
made up of twelve~ committees,
which were: Agriculture, Business

tion, Foreign Affairs, Government
Organization, Health and Welfare,
Judiciary, Labor, Military Affairs,
Natural Resources, and Taxation
and Finance. Within these com-
mittees, bills were presented, and



Education for the Southeast Re-
gion.

Friday night, after the election
of the Speaker of the. House, all
the committees met together in
the Educational Forum of the
State Capitol, for a general ses-
sion. Bills were presented and
voted upon; -those passed were sent
to the State Senators and Repre-
sentatives as suggested legislation.
‘The general session of the ICG
“Congress” continued until 5:00
on Saturday. Perhaps the most
heated. debate during the session
arose. concerning a bill to expel
Senator ‘Joseph McCarthy from
the Senate. The opposition to this
bill accused the proposal of being

“Communist inspired ... a delib-
erate move to undermine the
American way of life’. In spite

of the great opposition to this
bill, it. was passed by a--small
majority, and was sent to the
United States Senator from Penn-
sylvania as a suggestion.

At the end of the convention,
there was an executive meeting at
which it was decided that next
year’s assembly will be’ a Model
State Legislature.

Joyce, stated Mr. O’Faolain, re-
jects. religion and country (place
and tradition). Joyce created in
himself a vacuum which he was
unable to replace-with anything,
and was in intellectual revolt
against emotional connections. Ac-
cording to Mr. O’Faolain, Joyce ac-
tually staged a revolt against re-
ality, and he warred against the
authors negatively.

Most artists recreate something
that is there already. Joyce s
himself up as a creator, and was
one of the few authors who got
away with his rebellion. Before he
got bogged down in total unreality,
Joyce produced two marvelous
books, “Portraits of the Artist as

‘a Young Man,” and “Ulysses.” .His

lapse into complete unreality came
with “Finnegan’s Wake,” ‘but he
had already become one of the
great authors.
