Teachers’ Loyalty Oath Presented to State Senate
Bachrach Talks
On Limitations
Of Loyalty Bill
Freedoms Of Thought
And Speech
Affected
Common Room: Monday, March
19, 7:15 P.M. A mass meeting
was held in the Common Room,
where Mr. Bachrach discussed the
general effects of the Loyalty Bill
presented to the Pennsylvania Sen-
ate.
Mr. Bachrach first outlined the
effect such a bill has on “courage-
ous persons” who refuse to sign
it. Arguments against the bill
are extremely logical. If it goes
through, freedom of thought and
speech are defeated. People may
have free thought and speech only
if “they come out with the right
answers”, if they think with the
government. Secondly, what pre-
cise test can be presented which
will trap Communists and not in-
nocents with them?,
“The loyalty bill is very ambigu-
ous,” pointed out Mr. Bachrach.
What does the committee mean by
force, in stating that persons are
liable who advocate the overthrow
of the government by force? Just
what is the meaning of subver-
sive? Words do not speak for
themselves; they must be clearly
interpreted. The bill, finally, de-
feats the assumption that people
have any sense of judgment. Are
we not to be allowed to decide for
ourselves what is dangerous? The
passing of such a bill would put
courageous people out of their jobs
for demanding freedom.
The general effect of the bill
would be to divide those effected
by it. Some would sign, for rea-
sons of personal security; these
would unwittingly lose their moral
integrity. But those who did sign,
and keep their jobs would not be
the best people. This means an
atmosphere of fear in which stim-
ulation from new ideas would be
thwarted.
The Loyalty Bill affects the en-
tire community, by blocking
“dangerous” ideas. It would be

“The Tragedy

‘Henry Fielding’s The Tragedy
of Tragedies, or, The Life and
Death of Tom Thumb the Great
proved an excellent choice of play
for the Bryn Mawr and Haverford
drama clubs to undertake. It was
within the range of their abilities,
yet it was not a mediocre play of
the usual sort put on by college
groups. As Lee Haring, the di-
rector, explained to the audience
before the curtains parted, Tom
Thumb satirizes the heroic trag-

aided colleges and universities.”

Nason States Good Will and Common
Sense Necessary at ICG Conference
The Southeastern Regional Con-
ference of the Intercollegiate Con-
ference on Government was held
March 17 at Swarthmore College.
The delegates to the mock Con-
gressional session were instructed
by Mr. John Nason, President of
Swarthmore College, in an address
entitled “What are the Important
{Tssues Facing Congress Today?”
Mr. Nason stated clearly, be-
fore going into specific issues, his
feelings on rearming, “We have
reached the point where we cannot
solve our problems by good will
and common sense. ... We have
no other way except by military
means.” Should the President
then have the power to send
troops to Europe or commit them
in the so-called danger point areas.
If so, would this power be consti-
tutional? The Hoover position,
declared Mr. Nason, is “national
suicide.” He believes we should
oppose the Soviet Union on the
lines that are now drawn.
Two resolutions recently intro-
duced into Congress would have

self. Satire, to be successful, does
not always need to be subtle. It
does not always call for the human
understanding and _ experience
which the good tragic actor must
have. It would seem, however,
that the best interpretations of
satire very nearly convince the
audience that) the intent is serious
—nearly, but not quite. This qual-
ity in Tom Thumb is perhaps less
striking to a modern audience be-
cause we are less familiar with the
popular drama of Fielding’s time.

Continent; French drama_influ-

V. Dean Says India
Needs Food, Unity
&Industrialization
“India as Seen by a Layman”
was discussed Tuesday night,
March 20, in Goodhart Auditorium
by Mrs. Vera Micheles Dean, in the
fifth of a series of Shaw lectures
given this year. Not attempting to
speak as an expert, Mrs. Dean
gave her impressions of the prob-
lems India has to face in her sta-
tus as a young independent nation.
In the political field, India, now
free of British rule “must reorient
herself away from a_ struggle
against something, to a struggle
to formulate a program to do
something.” Included in this pro-
gram must be an attempt to alle-
viate the food crises, sharpened by
the breaking away of Pakistan
With Pakistan, went the great ag-
ricultural resources, food, cotton,
and jute, making India resort to
uneconomical practises of trying
to buy food outside of the country.
Contributions of food by the Unit-
ed States helped, but a more per-
manent solution must be found to
face the fundamental problem of
providing a “minimum standard of
living for the masses of population
ever increasing’. The political and
economic difficulties of India great-
ly influence her foreign policy. Im-
portant. elements. of this are a re-
fusal to accept war, and an at-
tempt, through the United Nations,

Notes Effects
In Shakespeare
Various Units Convey
Living Poetry
To Us
Introducing E. M. W. Tillyard,
Monday evening’s lecturer, Mr.
Sprague commented that he was
marked by “a combination of two
rare qualities: a fine sensitiveness
to poetry, and a profound knowl-
edge of thought in Shakespeare’s
time.” “Mr. Tillyard, Master of
Jesus College, Cambridge, spoke on
What We Get out of Shakespeare.
To begin, Mr. Tillyard proposed
four hypotheses: a poem in the
brain; an undiscovered poem; the
discovery of the lost lyrics of
Sappho; and the discovery of
Greek poetry after civilization lost
the language; and he applied the
question Are they considered po-
etry to all? In spite of those who
say a poem is an experience, he
thought it would be rash to answer
“ves”; today’s critics. have a “too
apt tendency”to judge a work only
on its merits as a work, without
considering the mental state of the
writer, but only what the critic
thinks the poem should say.
Mr. Tillyard said he would stick
to his subject, and would not tell
us how to read Shakespeare. It
should not be taken for granted
that everyone understands every-
thing about Shakespeare’a plays.
Mr. Tillyard cited a bet he made
that someone would retain, years
after reading the plays, only “tag”
phrases.
Breaking the writings into six
“units”, he suggested, was a good
way to see how the end effect was
accomplished. The word itself is
the first unit. The second unit is
the phrase. These phrases, which
we convert into our own idioms,
often do not mean the same things

Helen Hill Miller Addresses Grads,
Considers Important U.S. Problems
Mrs. Helen Hill Miller, Washing-
ton correspondent for Newsweek,
spoke to a group of graduate stu-
dents in the Deanery Wednesday.
Miss McBride, in an informal in-
troduction, said that when Mrs.
Miller came on her quarter-yearly
visits as Alumnae Director of the
College, everyone wanted to know
what was happening in Washing-
ton.
Mrs. Miller answered that she
was sure there were questions, but
first, as a background, she would
describe briefly the most import-
ant problems in the capital today.
The fact that the country is, so to
speak, in “World War Two and a
Half” means that decisions must
be made which are different from
those for war or peace.
The main factor—the relation of
the United States and the free
world to Russia—influences mili-
tary, economic, and diplomatic pol-
icy. The war in Korea, technically
a police action, may prove to be a
fairly inexpensive Pearl Harbor.”

ance that may have kept things
from being worse than they are,

Of Washington Troubles}

but as Vannever Bush says, it is a
wasting. advantage.. (We: will have
to assume a new posture and
make further Soviet expansion a
rick to the Kremlin. Military and
economic attention is centered on
implementing the North Atlantic
Pact to utilize European skills and
produce for defense without lower-
ing civilian living standards,
Russia must be contained and
kept out of vital areas such as
Iran, whose oil would be essential
if Russia were to keep Europe roll-
ing.. However, containment means
controversial policies. The nation’s
seventy-one billion dollar budget
must be met, and it may even
prove inadequate in the face of ris-
ing costs of war goods. The draft is
almost settled for the present.
However, inflation is an increas-
ingly pressing issue. The solu-
tions all reflect the problems of
the “half war’. Controls would be
possible in a definite war, but “one
of the greatest virtues of our
productive system is its flexibil-
ity”, upon which U. S. capacity to
be an effective arsenal depends.
Too strict controls at present
would freeze production into rigid-
ity. The structure of the defense
effort has still to be worked on; it
must be a balance between differ-
ent segments of the economy.
Rare Resources
In this half-war there is a pinch
on.raw materials rather than pro-
duction capacity, which had led to
price rises and a search for re-
sources in under-developed areas.
Then too, if the supply of consum-
ers’ good decreases, the affected
civilian will complain as he would
not in time of total war.
Nor must America’s two-party
system and politics to be overlook-
ed. At present there is the im-
,,, .portant foreign policy split in the
Republican party, and the Demo-
crats have a less noticeable dis-
agreement on domestic issues.
There seems to be unanimity on
the 1952 election question, though,
Mrs. Miller said, emphasizing the
yearning of both parties for Bisen-
hower as a candidate.
In answer to the first question
from the audience, she said Mr.
Paul Douglas’ candidacy would be
affected by the likelihood of sup-
port from Truman, who is not ex-
pected to seek re-nomination. But
both parties, if they think it is the
price of success, may choose a
popular person.
‘Concerning the possibility of rid-
ding Russia of its present power,
Mrs. Miller said, “Mortality sta-
tistics will one day catch up with
Stalin”, but Lenin’s death was
weathered by the Soviet system.
There is, however, a possibiilty of
a break with other countries, or
even of a change wrought if the
West ceases to be on the defens-
ive and expresses its policy
through ideas as well as through
weapons.
The discussion turned again to
raw material shortages and upon
their effect on the trade and export
of Europe. The absence of war
makes a supra-government author-
ity. impossible, but the United
States, France, and the United
Kingdom have a group to discuss
commodity shortages.
A question was raised about
preparation for war without devel-
oping a “war mentality.” The dan-
ger, Mrs. Miller felt, was in impa-
tience among the American people
with an effort of undetermined
length, in which they will get tired
of crushing aggressive satellites
and leaving Russia alone, especial-
ly when the pinch of civilian short-
ages is felt. ‘An economic prob-
lem of price stability arises when

that they mean in context. Here
again, Mr. Tillyard cited several
examples where “the richness of
implication is astonishing” and
“the unique collocation defies an-
alysis’.
Going on to the next unit, sev-
eral lines, he showed how the words
as they were put together, supply
the reader with a “whole class of
feelings”, whether read in context
or applied to isolated instances.
Shakespeare used the drama as his
commentary, but “it turns out that
what he has to say withdraws
some attention from the vehicle.”
Problems arise from applying sev-
eral lines to a situation other than
the one for which Shakespeare uses
them, since some of “the most
thrilling speeches are quite unde-
tachable from their context.”
Moving to the next classification,
Mr. Tillyard thought that the
scene should be the most important
unit. ‘(Shakespeare’s _inconsisten-
cies are explained by the fact that
he wrote in scenes, and sometimes
never bothered to relate them. Mr,
Tillyard recounted being impressed
by isolated scenes instead of the
whole play, and traced this ten-
dency to the Victorians, since they
cut up scenes so that “they stood
out preposterously”. Hamlet, for
example, as “a sheer succession of
scenes, is supreme”,
The play itself is the fifth unit
—one intensely complicated by dif-
fering critical views of the end ef-
fect. The non-academic reader
risks a fundamentally wrong deci-
sion. or “giving his heart to a chim-
era” in choosing a stand on the
basis of someone’s views. . All he
can do is agree with critics, on the
points of poetic appreciation. Mr.
Tillyard believes that “Shakes-
peare’s architectonic power was at
one time better than his execu-
tion”, but that the plays “were
planned as a whole.”
‘Comparatively new is the last
unit—that of regarding a series of
Plays as a planned sequence. This,
too, is complicated by critics’ ad-
vice. If T. S. Eliot “bids us com-
pare a whole sequence with whole
sequences of Dante’s Inferno, he
doesn’t go into detail!” However,
Mr.’ Tillyard agrees that the se-
quence should count for much
more than it does. “Total grasp
must remain something of an
ideal.” What is and what should be
must remain distinguished in our
minds, and “the wise reader will
hold fast to the importance of the
enjoyment that he understands”,
not be dazzled by what critics feel
is ‘up-to-date’.
Merion Entertains
During Open House
by Chris Schavier, ’54°
Last Friday night, Merion Hall
had ‘another Open House. Invita-
tions had. been extended to various
Haverford entries: fifth, sixth,
Merion Annex, and Scull House,
but guests arrived from all over
the campus. The evening started
about nine, and was given a new
burst at ten-thirty, when a great
portion of the audience of ‘the Fri-
day performance of Tom Thumb
dropped in.
Music was provided by both the
record player in the show-case and
the piano in the frent hall, and re-
freshments of ginger ale and pret-
zels were served. The main decor-
ation was the huge cardboard fig-
ure of Dr. Sloane, painted by
Mr. Janschka and Mr. Morris,
which had been. auctioned off at
Faculty Show and which had been
bought by Merion.
Towards the end of the eve-
ning, the scene shifted from the
show-case to the front hall, where
Larry Autenreith of sixth entry
accompanied the variety of voices.
They rendered such old favorite
songs as “There’ll Always Be An
England,” and “Abba Dabba Hon-
eymoon.” Shortly afterward, the
hall closed and the last stragglers
went out into the cold night feel-
ing that it had been an evening
well spent.

A theatre-in-the-room group is
being organized at Haverford Col-
lege; its name is the College Circle
Theatre. On Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday—April 26, 27, and
28—their first production of three
one-act plays is being given. The
plays are Odett’s Waiting for Lefty,

Feathers, and Coward’s Hands
Across the Sea.
Tryouts will be held tomorrow
evening, Thursday, March 22, at
7:00 -p. m. in the Commons of
Haverford College, where the
plays will ultimately be presented.
The seating capacity is 120.
Mr. Richard (Warren, professor
of contemporary drama, will direct
these dramas; he has had experi-
ence with this type of theatre in
Texas, The parts which must be
filled by women are as follows:
in Waiting for Lefty: 1) Edna, the
wife of a guy hit by bad times; 2)
Florrie, a hack’s girl; and 8) the
Secretary, who knows all about
it. In Hands Across the Sea: three
Coward-ish characters, one of them

In 1925 Mr. Read completed his

He is better known to Bryn Mawr
students for his brief work The

for the first year history course.
He is at present writing a book on
Lord Burleigh and the policy of
Queen Elizabeth, and in Decem-
ber of 1949 he finished his term of
office as president of the Amer-

Superb Choreography
Cast, Arranging
Mark “‘Bat’”’
by Helen Katz, 53
—>
For the first time in many years,
fewer men in the audience slept
through a performance on the
stage of the Metropolitan Opera
House. Most of them sat up eag-
erly to catch the English words
while watching Johann Strauss’
Die Fledermaus.
In almost every way the per-
formance of The Bat was delight-
ful, An opera new in the season’s
repertoire, it has been put into
English text by Garson Kanin, of
Broadway fame, and it has English
lyrics arranged by Howard Dietz.
The costumes and the lavish sets
‘by Rolf Gerard are striking and
lovely. To say nothing yet of a
first-rate cast—the finest voices in
the country—there was also a long
ballet number, interestingly chore-
ographed by Antony Tudor, and
the beautiful, light Strauss music
The tale of the plotted revenge
of the Bat, for a trick played on

The badminton varsity and
junior varsity played one of their
strongest rivals, Swarthmore, on
Tuesday, March 18 at Swarthmore.
The varsity won 8-2, while JV
emerged’ completely undefeated,
5-0. The three first singles were
Didi McCormick, Bar Townsend,
and Anne Iglehart. Didi and Anne
played excellent matches, Anne
showing steadiness and Didi clev-
erness against strong opponents.
Bertie Dawes and Janet Leeds won
their match, an extremely fast one.
The marathon of the day belonged
to Mousie Wallace and Nancy
Blackwood who played for over an
hour. Every point was fought for,
every shot counted, every new
angle called on in this battle of
wits. The closeness of the two
teams is obvious from the score,
18-16, 18-14 in favor of Swarth-
more.
The junior varsity as a whole
played very smooth, steady games,
as is shown by the score of 5-0.
Their only mishap occurred when
the volleyball teams in the bus
waved gaily to them, cheered them,
and left them stranded at the
men’s field house. They learned
a great deal about the Swarthmore
campus as they trudged over what
must have been a mile of road to
the right gym. The team included
Marilyn Muir, Pauline Austin, and
Sue Savage, the three first sin-
gles and Beth Davis and Jo Bog-
ley and Harriet Cooper and Suki
Kuser, the doubles.
Room Blanks Due
By Vacation End
Students will receive room ap-
plication blanks from their’ war-
dens before spring vacation. These
blanks should be returned with a
$10.00 deposit check (made out to
Bryn Mawr College) by the end of
spring vacation.
Students who wish to keep their
present rooms should state this on
the room application form.
Students who wish to change
rooms in their own halls should
enter Hall Draw (as opposed to
General Draw).
Each residence hall has_ three
draws in the following order—
present juniors, sophomores, fresh-
men.
Students who wish to change
halls should enter General Draw
which is held after all Hall Draws
are complete.
Draws will be held shortly after
vacation and will be announced.
Students should indicate that
they wish to enter a draw on the
room application form. When a
student enters Hall Draw she
gives up her rights to her own
room. She cannot both enter the
draw and keep her own room.
Wardens will be glad to answer
questions students may have about
changing rooms.

Legislature Lacks
Necessary Quorum
A meeting of the Legislature
was called last Thursday evening,
March 15, at 8:30 in the Common
Room. The Legislature consists of
all college officers, class presidents,
class representatives from the
halls, and the boards of college
organizations. There are sixty-six
members of the Legislature; a
four-fifths quorum is necessary to
vote.
The question which had arisen
and had occasioned this meeting
was submitted by petition of sixty-
five students to the Self-Govern-
ment Board. That petition was/4
quoted in full in last week’s
NEWS. It requested that some
change be made in the rule con-
cerning 3:30 signouts for formal
datices on campus. The petition
states that many students drop in
at the dance for five minutes in
order to obtain legally a 3:30 per-
mission which actually enables
them to go elsewhere. The peti-
tion also suggested that perhaps
the Self-Gov rule was imposed in
order to insure revenue from-dance
tickets. It asked for 3:30 permis-
sion for everyone on the few spe-
cial weekends, or some other more
satisfactory arrangement.
A quorum for voting was not
obtained; \forty-one of the neces-
sary fifty-three people appeared.
Only seven Legislature members
had informed the secretary of Self-
Gov that they would not be able
to attend. Eighteen people were
inexplicably missing, each of whom
had received a personal note from
the secretary. The meeting de-
cided not to hold a discussion un-
til the time when the question
could be voted upon, and ad-
journed.

“Our Ties with Other Cultures,”
according to the three-college com-
mittee, “is designed to show how
closely our life in this country is
connected with that of many other
nations all over the earth.
“It would seem to us that our
best hope for the future lies in
strengthening these international
bonds and, at home, in educating
the majority of the American peo-
ple in the direction of a clearer un-
derstanding of them.
“The basis for intelligent action
lies in an understanding of our
ties with other nations and cul-
tures.”

Drama Reviews
In connection with the first review of the semester, ap-
pearing in this issue, this is a summary of the NEWS policy
concerning reviews of campus productions. To begin with,
all productions reviewed are judged on the major bases of
the directing, technical skills, time limit, and the interpreta-
tions of the actors—a pattern from which the individual re-
viewer works.
Productions such as the Hall plays, put on by students,
and rehearsed during a limited period of time, are also judg-
ed on the choice of the play, with emphasis on the spirit and
enthusiasm of the cast.
sol Language plays are likewise considered on the enthusi-
asm level, with particular regard for the actors’ skill in
handling the language, as well as the application of the chos-
en play to the scope of tthe cast.
Shows such as Maids’ and Porters’ are judged on the ba-
sis of the co-operation of the director with the cast included
into the reviewer’s critical standards. Class shows have the
originality of writing and etaging added to the technical con-
siderations, and again, the spirit with which the production
is given.
The College Theatre, Actresses Anonymous, and the
Arts Night plays are different from the other types of cam-
pus productions in that they. are given by groups continually
interested in artistic achievement, rather than being given
out of college tradition. They are criticized, in the correct
sense of the word, as tthe artistic endeavors of amateurs. Be-
sides conveying the general atmosphere of the production,
the criticisms are intended not only as appraisals, but as
pointers to the cast from the audience point of view, just as
the director gives them pointers from the technical view be-
hind the footlights. |
The above points, concerning the variations in reviewing
policy and the different aspects stressed in considering each
campus production, are the standards for the judgments
which appear under by-lines. These standards have been
erent MOU cinkat with the tnembets’ of the audience
Beckett Outlines
London Activities
Marjorie Beckett, a graduate
fellow of the English-Speaking
Union at Bryn Mawr, outlined
“Student Activities at the Univer-
sity of London” at this morning’s
assembly. She emphasized the
number of activities, other than
course work, available at the Uni-
versity; these include many clubs
and societies, organized by stu-
dents, and sports.
There are two groups of soci-
eties: the academic, literary, and
‘philosophical societies, and those
concerned with politics and re-
ligion, dramatic, photographic,
rifle and chess clubs supplement
the extracurricular activities. The
University emphasizes the athletic
side of the student’s life, and the
faculty encourages participation,
although no student is compelled
to do so. The wide range of ath-
letic activities includes table ten-
nis, fencing, squash, badminton,
physical training and country and
ballroom dancing indoors; outdoor
sports are: hockey, tennis, swim-
ming, cricket, rugger, soccer, row-
ing, sailing, and flying with the
University air squadron.
Sports teams challenge teams
from other colleges in the Uni-
versity. These matches provide an
opportunity to meet students from
other colleges, as well as to know
those in your own college. Stu-
dent activities at the University
are varied; the choice of what ac-
tivities to join and a correct bal-
ance between study and pleasure
are left to the student.

India Wants Recognition as Independent Nation,
Fears War And Domination By Western Powers

to “make her voice heard in the
council of great powers”. India’s
desire to be considered as an equal
by the 'Western powers serves as
an impetus to the solution of her
domestic problems, which Mrs.
Dean presented to the audience
from her observations of the coun-
try.
- In speaking of India the ques-
tion, “Will Russia influence India
in domestic and foreign affairs’?
is foremost in many people’s
minds. Mrs. Dean was struck by
the similarity of India now, to the
Russia of 1918. Both countries
were plagued by immense poverty.
very little industrial power, while
the leaders of India today are
‘dedicated people” like the young
er leaders of Russia. However, In-
dia’s interest in Russia is not po-
litical but economic—Indian Com-
munists being a discredited group,
having opposed the fight for inde-
pendence. Indians have a. func-
tional, practical approach and want
to know how Russia developed an
industrial society in thirty years,
so that they can accomplish the
same feat in their own country.

Politically, India was disillusion-
ed by the partition of Pakistan on
religious grounds. Nehru refused
to accept the partition of Pakistan
along religious grounds, and “will
never acept it for Kashmir”, which
presented difficulty last autumn
The death of the conservative lead-
er of the Congress Party left no
balance of power in the Indian gov-
ernment, since Nehru is left of
center. Other factions in the gov-
ernment are not strong enough to
play a decisive part in Politics;
the socialists being too small a
group; and the Hindus, although
more extreme and more dangerous
than the Communists, are religious
fanatics and do not appeal to a
wide enough section of the people.
Indian experience with Great Brit-
ain will be influential in the future,
Mrs. Dean said, since the Indians
have a great respect for the Brit-
ish now that they are no longer
ruled by them. They admire Brit-
ish socialism, and desire to learn
from British experience in this
field. Nehru’s problem is to hold
together the disparate elements of
a country full of unrest and fo-
ment, and oppressed by poverty.
To the question of whether Nehru
is strong enough to lead India,
Mrs. Dean offered a comparison of
him to Kerensky in the Russia of
1918. Nehru is sincere and well-
liked, but may prove impotent in

Baxter Discusses
Education Issues
On March 18, James Phinney
Baxter, President of Williams
College, delivered the sixth and
final lecture of the Swarthmore
series on National Security and
Civil Liberties, speaking on “Free-
dom in Education.”
Mr. Baxter prefaced his remarks
by saying that freedom of educa-
tion underlies all other freedoms.
It affects not only teachers and
students, ‘but all who have a stake
in the dissemination of knowledge.
He called it “the central liberty
in civilization, without which no
other freedom could survive.” It
is for this reason that in recent
years totalitarian states have
moved rapidly to control universi-
ties, the dynamos of power.
(Mr. Baxter said that as an am-
bassador must be safe from vio-
lence, to represent his country, so
a scholar must be free to speak
his mind, to safeguard the pursuit
of truth. This freedom has been
built up over many years; but be-
ginning with the hysteria after
World War I, the American peo-
ple have been in danger of being
fearful and intolerant. As a Brit-
ish correspondent said in 1919,
“America is hag-ridden by the
spectre of Bolshevism.”
Drawing upon his own experi-
ence, Mr. Baxter spoke of condi-
tions he has known in the Uni-
versity of Colorado, Harvard Uni-
versity, and Williams College.
Shortly after World War I, teach-
ers of the University of Colorado
were dismissed for their political
views. Resignations followed, with
a subsequent decline in the morale
of the remaining teachers as well
as in the quality of the faculty.
As professor of history at Har-
vard from 1925 to 1937, Mr. Bax-
ter found there complete academic
freedom. He quoted President
Lowell’s statement that “If light
enough is let in, the truth of re-
lations will be seen.” The best test
of truth is its power to be accept-
ed_ in the open market of ideas.
Mr. Baxter went on to say, how-
ever, that there is no place for
Communists in a college faculty
because membership in the Party
shackles the pursuit of truth. If
at Williams College a professor
were an avowed Communist, his
dismissal would be recommended.
The principal danger in America
today, said Mr. Baxter, is “a lack
of confidence in our own intellectu-
al armor.” We have some basis
for our fears: “the advances in the
art of lying are as dangerous as
the advances in nuclear physics.”
Thanks to new psychological and
technical knowledge, rumors and
lies can be spread today as never
before. But we underestimate
our means to combat Communism
‘The best revenge against an ene-
my is not to be like him,” and we
should show greater confidence in
our own ideas. The controversy
over loyalty oaths in the Universi-
ty of California has pointed out
that we tend to judge guilt on the
basis of association. 'Wholesale
accusations have imperiled the
capacity to teach freely and hon-
estly. Furthermore, a true Com-
munist would not hesitate to swear
falsely in order to retain a key
position.
In Russia, academic freedom is
non-existent. All branches of
learning must submit to the pre-
cepts of dialectical materialism.
Consequently, Russia’s destruction
of freedom in education holds a
two-fold lesson for us. First, we
cannot permit the state to dictate
what is truth; and second, we can-
not permit America to take on the
very traits of her protagonist, de-
stroying freedom in -our effort to
preserve it.

Glumdalca parallels the “captive
queen” of Dryden’s The Indian
Queen and Aureng-Zebe; and the
Two Gentlemen were a standard
way for dramatists observing the
Three Unities to explain what hap-
pened elsewhere at other times.
Fortunately Tom Thumb was
great fun even if one didn’t catch
every. literary allusion. It might
possibly have been a caricature
on the ways of royal life, rather
than on dramas portraying that
life. It is a shorter play than
most, and for that reason some-
what easier on the actors. The
members of this cast successfully
avoided imitating one another’s
mannerisms. As Queen Dollalolla,
Trish Richardson, with her tant-
rums, her glassy-eyed imperious-
ness, her relatively reluctant yield-
ing to passion, brought a contrast
to her daughter Huncamunca (K.
Torrence) whose simpering help-
lessness interfered with her at-
temps at regal hauteur, and whose
succumbing to passion was scarce-
ly reluctant. Dollalolla’s scene of
rage with Lord Grizzle was par-
ticularly subtle, reminiscent of
Constance in King John. Dolla-
lolla’s soliloquy in which her, vir-
tue and Tom Thumb are put Sn the
balance-scale, Trish did superbly.
Cleora and Mustacha (Mary Lee
Culver and Elsie Kemp) were two
distinctly different Maids of Hon-
our—Cleora flighty and susceptible
to flattery, Mustacha cynical and
unimpressed. Mary Lee sang sad
music for Huncamunca very beau-
tifully indeed. The fifth lady in
the cast, Glumdalca the giantess,
(John Kittredge), provoked near-
convulsions in the audience. The
scene in which Glumdalca and
Huncamunca confront each other
is a close parallel to the scene in
Act III of All For Love where Oc-
tavia and Cleopatra meet.
Suzie Kramer was made for the
part of Tom Thumb, and was per-
fect in it. She delivered as high-
ing’s bitter pseudo-footnote) such
lines as “Whisper, ye Winds, that
Huncamunca’s mine.” She made
Tom Thumb a stout heroic lad
throughout, and has added another
to her long list of acting triumphs.
Jack Piotrow, who played the
villainous Lord Grizzle, gets bet-
ter with every play he’s in. It is
possible that the intense coaching
quickly devoured tea for all round-
ed out an afternoon well spent.

oration of “Oh! Huncamunca, Hun-
camunca, oh!” brought forth both
his tenderer nature and howls of
laughter from the audience.
Bob Chase’s use of his hands
contributed much to his interpre-
tation of King Arthur, and par-
ticularly to the charming conceit
about Jove’s descending from
heaven, taking a bit, and re-
ascending. Chuck Griffiths and
Jiggs Kunkel, as the Ghost and
Merlin respectively, had well-de-
fined roles which were interpreted
very much as they had to be. The

Ranck, in nebulous parts, managed | ©

to make human beings out of

loved all the bloodshed in the last
furious skirmish, where the super-
numeraries ran across the stage,
brandishing and breaking weap-
ons, and falling on one another.
The audience was especially con-
vulsed by Glumdalca’s dying line.
Lee Haring is to be credited with
doing a fine job of directing, and
Arthur Colby Sprague, who gave
technical advice ,deserves congrat-
ulations for his assistance. Credits
are due also to Ann Blaisdell and
the stage crew for the set, Peasy
Laidlaw for lights, Janet Leeds
for sound effects (nice harp music
to accompany Mary Lee), Anne
tAlbersheim for properties, Sally
/Brown for costumes, Linda Bett-
man for wigs, and Genie Chase and
Jill McAnney for make-up. Danny
Luzzatto and Gwen Davis worked
as assistants to the director. Con-
gratulations also go to the Dance
Club for their minuet.
Tom Thumb is not a deep play,
not a difficult play. Whether ama-
teur actors should overreach them-
selves and fail in a noble endeavor,
question. In the former case, they
further their deep artistic knowl-
edge; in the latter case, they learn
little but are more successful on
the surface because there are no
depths to plumb. In Tom Thumb,
amateur actors tried to go only a
little beyond their abilities, and
they succeeded with it. They are
now readier to attempt a more dif-
ficult play with the next produc-
tion. Thus, little by little, a very
high level of dramatic artistry can
be attained.

Labor, too, is a major considera-

are: 1) The United ‘World Fed-

expansion of the UN into a world

ed “impractical but a good theory,”
and 2) The Atlantic Committee’s
Resolution which would call a
meeting of the Atlantic Pact na-
tions to attempt the cementing of
a firmer unit.
The realm of foreign policy: has
also been the scene of a vast num-
ber of miscellaneous, but neverthe-
less important questions for this
Congress to decide. Mr. Nason
regarded the principal problems

2) Whether or not trade agree-

the general style of the old ora-
torio as developed by Carissimi,
and the marvelous beauty of the
English choral style. The oratorios
are really operas without staging
or acting, with the main difference
that the chorus in the oratorio has
more dramatic significance than in
the opera form. The two choruses
to be sung from Handel’s “Sol-
omon” are typical. “Draw the tear
from hopeless love” shows. the
composer at his choral best, which
is incomparable, and is a fine ex- | a
ample of Baroque nobility and
pathos. The other chorus, “Music,
spread thy voice around,” is a
sharp contrast. Instead of dramatic
intensity it speaks with a feeling
of pastoral loveliness.
Bach, according to his second
son, Carl Phillip Emanuel, wrote
nearly three hundred cantatas.
Most of these were written for. use
in churches where Bach was in
charge of music, and each cantata
was intended to be sung at a cer-
tain service of the church year.
The brilliant chorus, “Lasst uns

tata number 16 for New Year’s

Pem West was buzzing with an-

figures emerged from the end of
the corridor. “Heem” called “This

“This is the first time I haven't

Sunprisingly, most of the cast,
including the non-European sing-
ers, have trouble pronouncing their
English vowels. It is a harder lan-
guage to sing than one suspects.
To close the act in a flurry of ex-
citement, Adele, the maid (Patrice
Munsel), has received an invitation
to the Ball as part of Dr. Falke’s
plot, and she “borrows” one of her
mistress’ dresses.
The second act takes place at
Prince Orlofsky’s, amid the splen.

the bored Prince. Unfortunately,
Jarmila Novotna, who portrayed
the Prince—complete wtih cigar-

along with a fiery blush whenever
congratulated, was the only sign
of recognition Bess gave to her
new office. She found Rock in need
of no startling reforms. The one
institution around college which
she would like altered is the dog-
fish, over which, unfortunately she.

of the guests on velvet floor pil-
lows, as the Prince sings “Chaqu’un

The last act is set in the jail
where Eisenstein goes early in the
morning, only to find another Eis-
enstein already behind bars, and
indignant. Jack Guilford as the
drunken jailer has a fifteen-minute'
scene, on the cell stairway—haif
stairs, and half a straight board
that he continually slides down.
He is wonderfully funny, but his an-
tics border on slapstick. The plot
is resolved here, to the accompan-
iment of ten tipsy characters’
voices, as they sound the “morning

The opera is remarkable in its
production, and quite daring: there

The crux of the measure reads
as follows: “Every person who...
shall be in the employ of the Com-
monwealth of Pennsylvania or any
of its political subdivisions, other
than those holding elective offices
of any kind, shall be required...
to make a written statement under
oath or affirmation which state
ment shall contain notice that it is
subject to the penalties of perjury,
and shall state that he or she is
not a subversive person, that is,
any person who commits, attempts
to commit, or aids in the commis-
sion, or advocates, abets, advises,
or teaches by any means any per-
son to commit, attempt to commit,
or aid in the commission of any act
intended to overthrow, destroy, al-
ter, or to assist in the overthrow,
destruction, or alteration of the
constitutional form of government
of the United States or of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or
any political subdivision of either
of them by force or violence, or
who is a member of a subversive
organization of a foreign subvers-
ive organization... ”.
The use of words which are open
to various interpretations, such as
“advise”, “alter”, “force”, “sub-
versive”’, is more than apparent.
Moreover, the actual oath to be
taken is left to be formulated by
the various county commissioners
for all employes other than the
teachers, for whom the State Sup- |
erintendent of Public Instruction,
will prepare the statement.

India Wants Recognition

the face of almost insurmountable
difficulties,
Economically, India is badly off.
She has almost no industries, and
is in a “great hurry to. become
modernized”. Indian. economists
offer only one procedure to solve
the problem of raising India to a
1evel above starvation. They want
strict control of all food resources, |
birth control which is not popular, |
and a long term plan to industrial-
ize the illiterate, unskilled, and
unemployed populace. Industry,
until now, has been in terms of a
quick turnover, and_ speculation.
Hence, the Indians are interested in
a socialistic method of controlling
industry, since it will be difficult
to pass from a primitive state to a
modern one without government
control to direct progress. India
welcomes technical assistance from
the United (States but does not
want to be told how to run her
economy.
The desire to be independent
from foreign intervention governs
all Indian thought on foreign: pol-
icy. The Indians need aid from
the Western Powers, but would
rather accept it through the Unit-
ed Nations, than be dominated
by one strong nation. India
has experienced imperialism, hav-
ing only recently emerged from
colonial rule, and therefore looks
distrustingly at any attempts of
the United States or Great Britain
to invade Asia. This uneasiness
influenced them to be wary on the
matter of Korea. Although they
supported the United Nations’
movements, they have a fear of
war, instilled in them by Ghandi,
and look with fear on the, use of
the atomic bomb in Asia. The cry
“Asia for the Asians” is also pop-
ular in India. Japan, in the last
war, had been a great champion of
this policy, and had she not been
so ruthless, she would have been
accepted as a leader. “The white
man must leave Asia as a ruler”,
although India is ready to deal with
the ‘Western Powers on equal
terms. “India must be encouraged
to be independent within her own
frame of reference in terms of her
own historical background.” Fin-
ally, Mrs. Dean concluded, Indians
resent being referred to as
“hordes”, an epithet which is an-
athema to all Asians—the term
implying masses of people with-
out any human delineation is par-
ticularly obnoxious to the Indians
who are “human beings first of
all’.

go financing program, the budget
exceeds the income by ten billion
dollars. Mr. (Nason wondered where
this money would come from
Already the uppér income brackets
have been milked dry; corporation
taxes, too, are just about as high
as is healthily possible; excise
taxes have been attached to nearly
every luxury and many non-luxury
sources. ‘The money, says Mr.
Nason, can come from only two
places — the lower income bracket
or from a federal sales tax.

tremendous help for a good cause..
You can come down for any two
week period between June 12th
and July 20th, the longer the
better.
The camp is advantageous for
both campers and counselors. For
the children, anywhere from 5 to
12 years old, the healthy vacation
away from the city is a real treat.
Their enthusiasm for the camp is
good evidence of this. From the
point of view of the counselors, the
experience is invaluable. It will
always help for future counselor
work, and provides a chance to
learn to understand children better
in general. What is more, the
counselors have always enjoyed
being at the shore and having a
chance to see more of their Byn
Mawr friends.
