Gamow Outlines
Atemic Species’
Origin Theories

Slides Assist Lecture
Of Well-Known
Physicist ~

Professor George Gamow, the
noted physicist from George Wash-

ington University, spoke to a well-|’

filled Goodhart Monday night on

‘The Origin of Atomic Species”. |:

Mr. Gamow, in discussing various
theories of this century, present-
ing slides, and calculating intricate
formulae, answered such questions
as the date of the existence of the
universe, the conditions prevailing
at that time, and the subsequent
physical conditions as noticed in
the cosmology from past to pres-
ent.

One of the theories propounded
was geological, centering in the
existence and abundance of uran-
ium. Uranium consists of two iso-
topes—heavy and light uranium.
Heavy uranium is abundant in re-
lation to the light isotope, which
is extremely rare because of its
very short “half-life”. From this
fact, with the help of mathematic
formulae, it was hypothesised that
uranium began its existence 3.35
billion years ago when the heavy
and light isotopes were equal in
abundance.

Astronomy, however, came to
the front and, theorizing on the
basis of the seeming expansion of
the galaxy, astronomers discov-
ered that the galaxy must, at one
time, have been very concentrated,
with an extremely high degree of
neat. Since density and heat is
directly involved for the formation
of atomic species, astronomers
mathematically computed 1.8 bil-
lion years ago as the beginning of
the universe. This theory stands,
of course, in opposition with the
geological findings.

An analysis of the abundance of
the earth’s elements—particularly
nydrogen and helium, which make
up 99% of the gaiaxy and inter-
stellar space—was the basis of still



“Orphee”—Mistress Death and Assistants



by Jane Augustine, ’52

The French Club production of
Cocteau’s Orphee, given last Wed-
nesday evening in Skinner, is a
fine example of what can be done
artistically on campus, if sufficient
time, effort, and thought contrib-
ute to the creativity. It was a fin-
ished artistic product; its polish
proved ultimately that the play,
while presenting certain difficulties,
was not beyond the abilities of the
actors (or lighting and _ stage
crews). The fact that careful plan
ning for Orphee moved into action
early in March has much to do
with its suecess, which is in no
way to detract from the skill and
talent involved, but to point out
the forgotten obvious: art takes
time in which toevolve to its ut-
most. Recently, it would seem,
too many dramatic children, damp
behind the ears, are brought forth
before their time; their mortality
rate is high.

Orphee, however, a compietely
and charmingly mature presenta-
tion, revealed great talent combin-
ed with directorial skill and ‘hard
work. The three chief characters
—Orphee, Eurydice, et le vitrier
—formed three faces of a dramatic
pyramid; each looking out upon
the problem of the quest and con-
quest of Death from a different
angle. Katusha Cheremeteff, pi-
quant and graceful, spoke with a

Geology Field Trip Ingrains Students
With Fatigue, Interest, Rock and Fun

by Claire Robinson, ’54

Come, children, into the bus,
junior geologists—keep your noses
to the Triassic red beds—or is it
pre-Cambrian? They keep telling
me I can take this in stride, but I
keep telling them that my strides
just ain’t big enough. Oh, goody,
Mabel — we're stopping again.
What? What? You feel sick? Well,
so do I, but—oh, you said Dr. Dry-
den said bring your pick-axe. Well
of course—the last time we got
out, and he said look out below for
flying rock, and I turned to ask
what he was saying, and—well
yes, I’m beginning to get the sight
back in my left eye now. Oh, a
fossil—look ;Miss Wallace, what I
found. Is it—oh. Discarded bottle
cap. Yeah. Into the bus again
Gee, it gives me the funniest feel-

counting heads—with the funny
gleam, like she’s sure somebody’ll
be missing. Hey—watch out, Ma-
bel—for Pete’s sake—I don’t have
your old Mauch Chunk Quadrangle
Map — anyway. Mauch Chunk
sounds like some gangster’s “old
lady.” Up early tomorrow morn-
ing, huh? Won’t it be fun to relax
in the hotel lobby, and if you get
bored, there’s always the German
oral to take. Just for relaxation.
This is the day they lower us 20,-
000 feet below the surface, and
into a coal mine—what’s all that
rubber tubing for? Oxygen, may-
be? Oh, the busses are just refuel-
ing. I wish I could. I see we're

son would bring relatives into this.

Lattimore Reads
Poems Paralleling
Past and Present

by Helen Katz, °53

“T think we are justified in of-
fering . . . Richmond Lattimore
as ... a genuinely _ sensitive
poet,” said Mr. Politzer, on Mon-
day, the 30th of April, in intro-
ducing the poetry reading of Mr.
Lattimore, in the Art Lecture
Room of the Library. Mr. Politzer
put forth the verse of his. col-
league as possessing “an inner
landscape as a realm of knowledge
and dream, as a kingdom of past
and present, traditional and full of
adventure at the same time.”

The reading was adventurous
and showed much more than an
“inner landscape” or even a driv-
ing of words to the “borderline of
the understandable”: it was the
kind of poetry that interests the
hearer, a thing poetry does not
always do—there are those who
lose a great deal by not seeing the
conglomerate of words on the

Colleges Discuss
Means to Peace

At Temple-Conf.
Specially contributed by
Chickie Glassberg, °52
President of Alliance

This must start as a confession,
for I am reviewing a conference of
which I missed the beginning and
the end. It was ” sponsored by
Swarthmore and other colleges,
and took place at Temple Univer-
sity last weekend. The theme was
“By What (Means Peace”, and with
this theme in mind we tried to
come to conclusions concerning:
our relations with the United Na-
tions, Europe, and the Far East;
underdeveloped areas; and US mo-
bilization.

The structure of the conference
was the usual one—speakers, pan-
el discussions, and a plenary ses-
sion. The speakers represented a
variety of attitudes. One was a
“ormer vice-president of NSA. He
spoke from the view of a student,
or at least of some students, for
apparently he was disturbed over
the split between East and West
on the student level, and thought it
should be remedied.

Then the renowned World Fed-
eralist, Murray Frank, related
World Government to the Point
Four Program. He advocated a
definite change in US policy, want-
ed us to take a stand against col-
onialism, to prepare for “honest
and sincere” negotiations with
Russia and China, and to stop sub-
ordinating economic and social
problems to political and military
interests.

A pacifist, A. J. Muste, recom-
mended two things: that we get
out of Asia but be willing to be
called on for friendly advice; and
that we combat Stalinism by dis-
couraging the status quo in colon-
ial areas, putting in peasant re-
forms where they are desired, etc.
Finally, Francis Russell, from
the State Department’s Office of
stated that we

Biddle Attests
Hysteria Shies
From Freedom

Fear Pawns Freedom
To Strengthen
Security

On Thursday, May 3, the Hon-
orable Francis Biddle, former At-
torney General of the United
States, and present chairman of
the’ Americans for Democratic
Action, spoke at the last Alliance
assembly of the year. Mr. Biddle
spoke on the subject, “Loyalty,
Security, and Freedom.” He
stressed the harm that the pres-
ent loyalty oaths are doing, and
the futility of their undemocratic
work. He showed that history is
repeating itself and that we “are
now in the midst of a period of
immaturity” which is evidenced by
our not realizing this fact. We
are indulging in the same hysteria
that came to the United States
one hundred and fifty years ago
when the Alien and Sedition Acta
were passed. Under these bills,
passed by the Federalists, critics
of the government “as almost
always under such bills” were
sent to jail. However, at this
time, Americans still remember
their revolution against England,
in which one of the major issues
of dispute was this unlicensed
jailing. In 1800, Jefferson was
“elected in a sweep of reaction,’

‘and the Federalists never regained

power. Jefferson immediately ex~
pressed faith in the democratic
principles of his government. He
said “If there be any among us:
who want to dissolve or change:
this government, let them remain.
...A government of free men
where there is a free flow of ideas
is the strongest government in the
world.” Agreeing with Jefferson,
Mr. Biddle pointed out that now,
although we are materially much
stronger than in Jefferson’s time,
it is certainly some question as to
whether we are as strong in our
defense of freedom.

Another situation analogous to
today’s crisis occurred in Englan?
between 1792 and 1832. At that
time, hysteria caused by the
rench Revolution blocked all
he reforms which would have
taken place normally, such as get-
ting rid of rotten boroughs. The
same types of restraints were
used in England then as are being
used in the United States today—
the insistence on loyalty oaths, the
firing of professors from univer-
sities, the branding of organiza-
tions as subversive. “It is the
same form of panic, and the same
sort of fear of revolution.” In
1919 and 1920, this same, hysteria

reappeared. Any person who
spoke against any part of the
war, or even against war in gen-
eral, was thrown into jail as being
disloyal. This panic was finally

Rig May Day

It has been fifteen years since the last Elizabethan May
Day, and‘ still seemingly forgotten symbols of Big May Day
creep into conversations and yearbooks, and even into fresh-
man handbooks. This year the college was given a small
sampling of the pageantry and color that was once a part of
every undergraduate’s experience, and the impression was
entirely favorable. The spell of the weather was broken,

May Day seemed to gain new meaning. People are even look-
ing forward to more heralds and jesters next year. In short,
the college likes the Elizabethan touches!

Elizabethan May Day was voted out on the grounds that
it is too expensive, and too much trouble. The costumes, how-
ever, exist. It would not take too much more effort on the
part of most to present a bigger May Day. Students could
work together in small groups, as minstrels or jesters. The
folk dance classes in the winter might well combine the re-
quired athletics with practice in English country dancing.
Hall songmistresses could put the after supper gatherings
around the piano to good use, and there would be need for
only a few of the dreaded mass song meetings. There is little
reason why the Bryn Mawr Theatre should not make its
spring production a Shakespearean or pre-Shakespearean
play. The short version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream,
part of Big May Day tradition, could offer smaller dramatic
groups a chance to display their talents. Arts Night might
in some way be included. In short, the need would be not so
much for new organization, but a rechannelling of present
reserves toward a single goal. Rescheduling of numerous
smaller events into one weekend would mean less intermit-

tent expenditure of energy, and probably result in an overall |

’ saving of time spent on various projects.
Elizabethan May Day is an advantage to the college as

publicity, for in the past there have been overflow audi-
ences for the plays and the campus has been crowded with

spectators. It would help unite the college, not as different
classes with different maypoles, but as a group working as a

7:15—4Mr. S. G. Antor, Secretary-
General of the Joint Togoland
Congress, spoke on “Imperialism
in a Trust Territory.” He point-
ed out that Togoland does not ac-
tually exist, for since World War
I it has been supervised as a trust
territory under British and French
administration. So far, nothing
has been done to help the people

or to improve their land, and all

vancement.

Before 1890 Togoland was part
of the Gold Coast. As early a3
1482, Western European traders
entered the territory and brought
it in contact with Western civili-
zation. In 1840 the British and
French took over the trading cen-
ters, and formed colonies, and
‘thus split Togoland in half. Dur-
ing Queen Victoria’s reign, part
was given to Germany, and in

World War I Togolanders fought
in three armies. When the League
of Nations gave Togoland to
Britain and France as a mandate,

then, it has been administered un-
der the UN as a trust and nothing
has been done about giving Togo-
land independence.

Although the administration
claims that Togoland has some
self-government, Mr. Antor ex-
plained that in the French section
even the civil servants, represent-
ed in the UN as a free political
party, are appointed by the ad-
ministration and are nothing but
“yes-men.” “The British are’ more
polite,” but there, too, the so-
called Native Authority is chosen
by the district commissioner. The
administration is trying to force
Togoland to unite with the Gold
Coast. Although Togoland pro-
duces over half of the world’s
cocoa, it is given no credit for it,
The administration has maintain-
ed no schools or hospitals, but it
claims it is doing all it can to
improve Togoland which (it says)
lacks all resources.

The people of this area know
nothing about the UN. All in-
formation is censored, and at-

I think it would be nice if you

to Jo Case, the stage manager of

who did the lights.

This is in reference to your
previous issue which corrected the
misprint on the lighting head, but
neglected to mention who was ac-

as a service for the Class of 1951
(and others) in the various
women’s colleges. This booklet is
designed as an introduction and
guide to New York, and is aimed
at those gals who are either plan-
ning to come to New York and
get a job, or those who live in
the vicinity and just come in for
dinner, shopping, etc.

This project (about 50 pages)
consists of three sections: The
first deals with apartments and
residence halls,. descriptions and
approximate rates of various parts
of the city, what to look for and
what to avoid in selecting an
apartment, and how to go about
getting one. The second section
is a large listing of restaurants
of good quality and medium and
low price ... and for convenience,
they’re arranged by location, al-
phabetically, and by nationality.
The third section is comprised of
many bits of information — the
employment agencies that do the
best job by young college grad-
uates, free concerts and lectures
and art showings, subway map |
and places for further study and

Current Events

Common Room: Monday, April
30, 7:15 p. m. Miss Robbins ex-
plained that “The Split in the Brit-
ish Labour Party” has been caused
by Socialist Aneurin Bevan. Bevan
has sat in Parliament since 1929,
except during the war coalition,
when “he attacked the government
in every conceivable way.”

Bevan is the people’s man; all
love to work for him, and he “does
not even annoy his secretaries.”
He became Minister of Health and
put through the socialization of
medicine; last January, Attlee re-
moved him from that position and
installed him as Secretary of La-
bour.

“Bevan is a ‘spell-binder’ like
Lloyd George. It is rather signifi-
cant that in the last crisis it didn’t
work. Bevan’s line is socialism.
He doesn’t believe in compromise.”
He advocates a one-party state
headed by himself, and does not
like criticism. At the present time
he carries about twenty-three
members of Parliament with him.
Bevan does not like the American

_ governmental system, and he. is

very nervous about our foreign
policy and economic system.

Social services are a large part
of his program. They are being
curtailed in Britain today because
rearmament is costly, and govern-
ment leaders feel that the money
must be spent in the military field;
Bevan is opposed to rearmament,
but “he has failed to force his
policy upon them.” Because of his
digression from the Labour Party’s
present aims, he has resigned. It
appears, however, that he does not
want to split the party, which
would entail a national election,
‘since he has now agreed not to vote
against the government.

Bevan feels that Russia wants

’ the political and ideological ad-|

advance of communism, but not a
war. Why should England’ suffer
deprivations while America is ‘in-
creasing her standards of. living?
He has a point, Miss Robbins ad-
mitted, but he probably isn’t right.
The British “are terribly anxious

that no world war be fought in

‘Asia,” because that would leave
Britain open for aerial attacks. —

“I think Bevan has intended : to
‘be Prime Minister since about 1938
or °39,” Miss Robbins concluded.
“If there were a war with Russia,
Bevan wouldn’t stand a chance,
and, of course, there would be a
coalition government.” If inflation
continues in the United States, his
power will increase.

Indian Situation

e e
Enlists IRC Aid

Wednesday night, May 3, after
listening to the facts about the fa-
‘mine situation in India and a stu-
‘dent at Haverford College, the In-
ternational Relations Club voted
‘to send a token gift of food to In-
dia from the students of Bryn
Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore.

In addition to approximately $100
obtained from the Bryn Mawr
United Service Fund, money will
be raised from the selling of lem-
onade this week between classes
in Taylor Hall. Similar schemes
‘will be put into effect at. Haverford
and Swarthmore. The food dona-
tion will be sent through the
Friends Service Committee in or-
der to assure its delivery.

This action (prompted by that
used by Bucknell University last
week) is to demonstrate to the
‘Congress of the United States
that American college students
favor the ratification of the bill to
send grain to the starvation-strick-
en Indian nation. The IRC also

urges anyone who approves pass-
ing of this legislation to write his
or her congressman without delay.

Should Pennsylvania Accept The

Pechan Bill and Loyalty Oaths?
This was the University of Penn-
sylvania’s Forum question on
Tuesday night over WCAU. Guests
for the forum were Pennsylvania
State Senators Wm. J. Lane and
Maxwell S. Rosenfeld.
Senator Lane spoke in favor of
the oath, stating that he felt it
was. simply an allegiance oath
and an effective means to ferret
out communists boring within.
Lane emphasized that although
teachers should be first to. take
such an oath, students of colleges
and universities are protesting
most violently, and he questioned
what possible hidden reason they
might have. To close his introduc-
tion, he stated that our rights need
be protected and this is the way
to do it.

Senator Rosenfeld agreed that
we need protection, but opposed
this method as repressive and un-
democratic. He pointed out some
outstanding men of today, namely
Stassen, Pepper, Eisenhower, the

President of Penn State, and
others, that are coming out
against it. Rosenfeld closed by

insisting that this will not safe-
guard the constitution. He point-

Radio Forum Discusses Loyalty Oaths,
With Rosenfeld and Lane as Speakers

Lane remarked that appeal can
be. made!

Rosenfeld clinched the argument
by citing the strong backing of the
Supreme Court, especially Douglas
and Black, who personally called
it unconstitutional.

Guests were invited to ask ques-
tions on behalf of the general pub-
lic, and Bryn Mawr’s past presi-
dent of the Alliance, Betty Gold-
blatt, was one. Betty questioned
Senator Lane’s aspersions cast on
colleges for their violent protests.
She pointed out that we are among
the most affected, and that in a
democracy of truth this demand
for an oath is hardly a fair proced-
ure. ‘Senator Lane feebly answer-
ed that he only mentioned this fact
because public school teachers had
not done the protesting.

A fellow guest of Betty’s ques-
tioned the basic purpose of the
oaths when the school code already
provides for such _ provisions.
zane’s only answer was that to
apprehend one subversive would
be a commendable result.

The program ended on the note
that we must allow academic free-
dom to be practiced uninhibited by
oaths effectual only against those
at whom it is not aimed.

Observer

The breakfast habits of Bryn
Mawr have been kept secret too
long. Some strange mob psychol-
ogy makes us ashamed of the
early-morning ritual. Prospective
students are usually allowed to
sleep past 8:20; then are taken to
the pleasant atmosphere of the
College Inn. Alumnae are admitted
occasionally, on the assumption
that they will “understand”, But
we should really be proud: appear-
ance, motion, and speech at break-
fast are all-part of a beautiful tra-
dition.

Red_silk, patterned pink wool,
luxurious green flannel! Pajama
lapels are thrust up in places,
breaking the sweep of the neckline
most effectively. The faces above
vary—thirteen unwashed to three
washed this morning (the washed
had no pillow-creases) and, in the
same representative group, two
brushed heads of hair. One of
these was a feathercut, and there-
fore doubtful. All other heads
were still in curlers, bobbypins, or
rags. Incidentally, new, brightly
colored rags, which have a cheer-
ing effect, are on the market.

Dr. Gilbraith would be delighted
to know that economy of motion
reaches the level of art every
morning at Bryn Mawr. There is
no other kind of economy possible
these days. A low, shuffle-lurch is
used to get to the table; once there,
the body, slightly curved forward,
hovers till cereal or eggs or hash
are passing through the vicinity.
One fast, purposeful grab does the
rest. (It must be very fast, for
every student knows instinctively
the ancient proverb, he who hesi-
tates is lost. There is little head-
motion at any time. Remarks, if
any, are directed straight ahead, in
a strained monotone.

Topics of interest are chiefly
two: men, and (including dreams,
disease, and destruction), immin-
ent doom. The former can be
quickly dispatched. They are fram-
ed by weekends, parties, or other
women.

The department of imminent
doom is at its strongest around
breakfast time. A few mornings
ago, a strange dream was related:

“Well I was in this perfectly
enormous greenhouse, with palm
trees and sort of rubber plants all
around, and this tiger was loose

“Thor With Angels” in Rehearsal



“Thor” Shows Effective Acting, Sets;
Play Suffers from Torpidity of Lines

by Margie Cohn, °52

Although Christopher Fry’s
Thor with Angels seemed an un-
fortunate choice for the college
theatres, still the production had
definite merits which cannot be
overlooked. This drama of the con-
troversy between the Jutes and the
Saxons, paganism versus Christi-
nity, was produced May 4 and 5 at
Roberts ‘Hall, Haverford, staged by
Lee Haring.

Garrett Roberts’ set, where the
entire action took place, was sim-
ple and effective, a two-sided view
of a peasant’s hut, with an authen-
tic straw roof. However, a lack of
action was felt in the midst of an
atmosphere of primitive ~ asceti-
cism; this lack was perhaps due
to Fry’s love of language for its
own sake.

But as another consequence of
‘Fry’s linguistic amours, many of
the lines are delightfully quotable,
for example, “Where the Valhalla
is it?” and, “I knew you'd come
today—the cows’ were all: facing
north.” Wit like this was sustain-
ed throughout the play by Colgrin
(Victor Jowers), a humorous. old
steward who never slipped out of
character. Likewise, his wife
Anna (Phoebe Albert) had a mar-
velous voice for her part, and the
action picked up whenever these
two appeared on the stage. The
most dynamic moment came about
when Anna, shrieking and wailing,
came running on to tell about the
attack of the wolves on the sheep.
Pam Field was ethereal, beauti-
ful, and sad-eyed as the daughter,
Martina . The secret she discov-
ered in a ruined tower was Merlin
(Lee Haring) who trembled con-
vincingly as the ancient sorcerer,
and in most respects attained his
high standards, both as an actor
and director.

As the Saxon, Thomas Forsythe
did justice to the frightened Chris-
tian, always thinking about the
One God. His opposition, and yet
his sympathizer representing wa-
vering paganism in this morality

BM Senior Wins
Chemistry Award

On Thursday, May 3rd, at the
Engineers Club in Philadelphia,
the Pennsylvania Chapter of The
American Institute of Chemists
awarded medals to outstanding
seniors in chemistry departments
of nine of the local colleges. These
medals are awarded in recognition

play, was Cymen (William Morri-
son) whose booming voice was us-
ually commanding, but whose ac-
tions. were gauche and unconvinc-
ing too much of the time.

The finest performance of the
evening was given by Helen Dobbs
as the wise, loving wife of Cymen.
Her tone was consistently sincere,
and her voice carried the softness
of naturalism. Her make-up (done
by Marcia Pollak) was also in
keeping with her character. Mar-
ilyn Muir’s costuming was also
consistent with the sixth century
atmosphere, and lent itself natur-
ally to the rest of the play. Note-
worthy was John Corry’s rapid-fire
delivery of venom-packed lines,
and the contrasting more leisurely
villainousness of John Kittredge—
as. Cymen’s two barbarian broth-
ers.

Thor With Angels is a poet’s
play, with beautiful lines, but too
ittle opportunity for action. It is
a play to be read, rather than act-
ed, unless a Gielgud is on hand for
the leading role. Still, fine individ-
ual touches employed are highly
commendable, although, under the
circumstances, they were swallow-
ed by the static quality of the
writing.

Rock Gives Dance:
Bouncers Present

Last Friday evening, from eight
to twelve-thirty, Rock took up the
“Open House for Haverford” fad
with gusto. Rugs were rolled back
in the hall and showcase, furniture
was two-somely arranged, and mu-
sic from a phonograph admirably
strove to make itself heard above
the gay repartee of the favorite
mixer game, “do you know... ?”

At ten o’clock everybody left the
dance floor and punch bowl, and
stopped popping the balloon decor-
ations, to watch the floor show,
Two-thirds of the show, Patsy
Bennett and Nancy Bolton, had
been circling the premises as
bouncers dressed in men’s black
suits and derby hats, and were al-
ready well known to the audience.
The other third, Betsy Henderson,
in strapless gown, was “that hor-
rible girl” whom, to the parodied
tune of “So Long,” they were forc-
ed to bounce.

This severe warning did not
dampen, but rather increased the
high spirits of the party; and, ful-
filling the purpose of the evening,
chattering couples drifted out the
door at twelve-thirty where silent
stags had entered four hours be-



fore.

broken when Charles Evans
Hughes, a New York lawyer at the
time, pleaded against the un-
American procedure used in a New
York court to disbar some socialist
members of the legislature. He
protested and won, just as Jef-
ferson had.

The. recent Bailey case shows
that we are again reverting to the
restraining actions that. are signs
of a period of unrest and insecur-
ity . Mrs. Bailey, a Labor Depart-
ment employee, was accused of
being intimate with and working
with communists. The Loyalty
Board would not tell her who had
made the charges, nor did the
judges know. She was fired under
the “highly legalistic” excuse that
the government has the right to
fire anyone it pleases. “It means
she is branded a traitor by her
government.” She was convicted
by the sparse evidence and beliefs
of unnamed persons. Mrs. Bailey’s
expressing her own ideas brought
on a far more serious penalty than
if she had committed a crime
as theft. The difficulty with loyalty
tests is that “loyalty is a personal
thing which cannot be measured
with a yardstick.” Some consider
loyalty as belief in free enterprise,
in Negro segregation, in reading
only the “right” books. “Part of
a man’s education is to read what
the other side is writing ... If
you are a non-conformist, you are
a traitor. That is what it is com-
ing to.”

affecting our universities today.
This is the attitude of teachers
(as a professor of worldly wis-
dom says): “It is not our business
to make students think for them-
selves... but to make them think
as we do, or as we think we do.”
Mr. Biddle cited only two loyalty

oaths that are valid. One is the

oath of the German universities,
that is, loyalty to the ideals of
the university. The other is the
oath of the Peers of Aragon to
their king: “We, your loyal peers,
swear loyalty and obedience, so
long as you respect our lives and
privileges. If not, not.” In an-
swer to the inevitable question,
“What can we do about this
loyalty oath situation?” Mr. Bid-
dle said that writing letters to
Congressmen, knowing the facts
about the oaths, and informing
others are the best ways to fight
these undemocratic proceedings.

Poet’s Personality Felt
In Lattimore Readings

Continued from Page 1

printed page.

Dr. Lattimore read first three
poems, which he explained were
part of “Period A”, and which he
has since come to think of as
three different ways of doing
something. Of these, “The Matrix
from Memory” was perhaps the
clearest and most memorable. As
always in a_ reading, certain
phrases, particularly meaningful
or beautifully expressed, are re-
tained by the mind. Such was the
case with these, and the other
poems, among them “The Brink,”
“Tudor Portrait’ and “The
Wounded” “About the world’s
end was our lee shore”; “the fox-
trot toils on the victrola”; or
“Myth, Love, the idiot Hope” in
the grandeur of syntax on the
continent scale/ of grammar” are
of that type of phrase so sugges-
tive, so specific, that they evoke
from the listener’s mind “This is
poetry,” or “I like it.” Put to-
gether, they convey the melody,
spiritual wisdom, and consciously
connected images of a poet, in the
finest form of paper-communica-
tion. |
4In several of the poems, recur
the images of islands and waves.
There is a sort of loneliness ex-
pressed in the poems, a loneliness,
one supposes, imposed by imper-
fect means of communication, and
offset by the fact that the waves
can come in, but go out as well.
The verse is the remainder of
mental thought, of experience, and
of concentrated emotion. There
are odd and perceptive parallels
—New York and the mythological
islands that also recur and there
are precise poetic descriptions of
wonderful clarity.

“Triads on an Equation” was
one of the most interesting poems,
possessing a certain grammatical
fascination, in addition to its
poetic qualities, but with none of

the crescendo-begetting descrip-
tino of “White Harbor” or “Ar-
rangement in Nature” or “The
Wounded.”

The images, the verb-noun in-
version, the rhythm, the specifying
vocabulary and the poet’s person-
ality are all felt, and these things
endure in the space between the
first and last lines of a poem be-
ing read, giving a strong emotiou-
al reaction to the entire poem.
There is no greater proof or
tribute.

on a pillar where a marble bust
should have been—which were clev-
erly staged, and as surprising as
the candelabra of human hands in
La Belle et La Bete. The talking
horse (Satan? Evil?) was the sig-
nificant clue, for behind him sits
black death. The second scene
brought another trio to the stage
through the magic mirror: Death,
Azael and Raphael, played by
Elaine Marks, Emma Morel and
Gray Struthers (whose French
was less perfect than the other
actresses), to perform Operation
Death. It was macabre, in the
manner of a Thurber modern, rath
er than an old-fashioned, fairy
tale, and provided a_ transition
from the somewhat more serious
first scene to the broad humor of
the comedy team, Kennedy and
Hitchcock, who set each other off
superbly and couldn’t have been
funnier as the police major and his
lieutenant. Mr. Morris, between
giving last-minute directions, slap-
ping on last-minute makeup, calm-
ing, prompting, checking and sil-
encing every thing backstage, in-
terjected the masculine voice of
the postmen, and appeared costum-
ed for the curtain-call which fol-
lowed enthusiastic applause at the
end. ‘ :
(Matching the excellent acting
was Dr. Janschka’s equally excel-
lent set which foilowed the trian-
gular undercurrent and the geo-
metric stylization characterizing
the play, and yet displayed its
modernity modestly. Orphee as a
whole was entirely modern with-
out straining to be original or
avant-garde—a commendable vir-
tue. Many people behind the scenes,
working enthusiastically, were but
another reason for the play’s suc-
cess—“outside benefactors” Mrs.
Henry Clifford, Frederick Thon,
Pearl Edmunds, Pete Parkhurst;

ham residents Pat Onderdonk, Ka-

Brown, Nancy Bolton, Sukie Ku-
ser, Sylvia Westerman, Ann Wyc-
koff, and Linda Bettman “model of
constancy”, plus the energies of

and Emma Morel.
-To say “Encore” to such pro-
ductions seems again to point out
the obvious.

should guard the world from arm-
ed Soviet aggression, and prove to
the free world that we will stand
with them.

We broke up into discussion
groups. I was in the group on Eur-
ope. After floundering a bit on
small details, we worked out some
general propositions: 1) America
having the dominant position that
it does, should not base its policies
on fighting communism, but on
supporting democracy: a switch
from the negative to the positive.
Secondly, we wanted to attack the
causes of the present tension rath-
er than the symptoms alone. How
ever, we started with one of the
symptoms and voted for complete



disarmament on a world-wide scale.
We wanted a Four Power confer.
ence which would be free from
publicity while in session. We ad-
vocated impartial economic aid to
be administered through the UN.
Finally, we expressed the hope for
free cultural and student exchange
between Eastern and ‘Western Eur-
ope, plus free trade between them.
A specific program for disarming
and unifying Germany was dis-
cussed also.

The entire student body at the
convention had to pass the resolu-
tions which each group proposed.
This involved much time and pa-
tience, not because the group as a
whole really opposed any of the
propositions, but ‘because the us-



ual arguments dealing with parlia-
mentary procedure were constant-
ly posed.

The group was adamant in its
political views as in its insistence
on parliamentary procedure. With
few exceptions, they backed reso-
lutions that would be called ‘left
of center’. They wanted Red China
to. occupy the Chinese seat in the
UN, and they backed all the pro-
posals of the group which discuss-
ed Europe. Unfortunately, I had
to leave before the resolutions for
the other areas were considered.
However, these will be published
in the final report of the confer-
ence, so just watch the Alliance
Bulletin Board for news on the fin-
al developments.

Sunrise In The Alps, Rain And Wind
Greet Students In Italy For Easter

Sent from Paris
by Patricia Murray, *52

“Italy is perfect for Easter.” A
friend of mine and I decided to es-
cape the eternally gray sky of
Paris, for freedom and sunlight in
Italy.

We left Paris at ten in the eve-
ning, well provided with sand-
wiches, cigarettes, oranges, choco-
ate, sourballs (“bonbons acidules”)
and aspirin.
with us were several French speak-
ng Italians. One was a large
motherly woman, who showed us
the enormous Italian banknotes,

Italians seem to like things big and

showy.

At dawn the train stopped at a
little station in Switzerland. We
went into the restaurant and gulp-
ed down hot coffee: we burned our
tongues in fear of being abandon-
ed. Once again in the train we
stayed by the open windows in the
corridor and watched thet sun rise

As we crossed
the border into sunny Italy it be-

good part of our stay.

We arrived in Florence later in
the afternoon. There the building
are low, and you feel near the sky,
which does not weigh you down as
it does in the North. From the
station we walked out upon the
square. Groups of people, automo-
biles, and bicycles were circulating
leisurely and without conflict in
the street; in Florence the traffic
is always slow. If a Florentine
hurried, he wouldn’t have time to
run his eye over every girl who
passes.

Florence is much liked by the
American tourists, who don’t ex-
pect to find in this city of muse-
ums and churches, a center of such
elegant shops and hotels.

‘We spent five days in Florence,
and left for Rome. -Rome is enor-
mous: and very scattered; it lacks
the unity of atmosphere of Flor-
ence; it doesn’t welcome you.

We spent one long gray windy
afternoon in the Roman Forum.
Momentarily bitten by the arch-
