report to the Board of Directors.

The report quotes the recent
study made:by the Fund: for the
Advancement of Education on the
collegiate origins of the younger
American scholar, in which only
one of the large universities was
in the upper half of the list of in-
stitutions from which came_ the
greatest number of fellowship win-
ners per thousand students.

Swarthmore, Haverford, . and

out, each stood at the top of the
list for the particular type of col-

Prejudice is evidenced in various forms and it is a shock

are obligated not to ignore it. In the recent controversy over

ter Bowles emphasized these
points in his speéch on the “Eco-
nomic and Social Problems of the
Uncommitted World” January 6 in
Goodhart Hall at 8:30 p.m. :
He went on to say that for any
economy to move ahead,’ the coun-
try must produce more than it con-
sumes so that it can establish sav-

‘ings. At the present time reported

figures show that Russia is sav-
ing 20%. of the gross annual in-

of 5%. In addition, India is forced

‘to import 6% of her. food, while | -

her population increases yearly by
five million. This means that In-
dian money is spent for susten-
ance,. not industrialization. These
figures of an undeveloped democ-
racy, when contrasted with those
of a totalitarian state cannot help
but sway the thinking of an am-

bitious people.

In an effort to stabilize the econ-
omy, the government has taxed the
indian people beyond their limits.

Bowles Speaks
On China Today

And Free India

He Discusses Political
~ Policy of Asia
Today

Chester Bowles delivered the
fourth in the series of Anna How-
ard Shaw Lectures on Thursday,
January 7, at 8:30 in Goodhart.
His topie ‘was “Red China and Free
India.”

In discussing the political prob-
lems and foreign policy of Asia in
general and India in particular,
Mr. Bowles extended a plea for
understanding to both Americans
and Indians. In order to bridge ‘the
gap which has developed between
the two countries, he placed great
emphasis on our history to show
the striking parallels between two °
democracies in their infancy. Yet
he warned India that the present
is never an absolute replica of the
past; although Indian isolation
may be explained by the Monroe
Doctrine, it is not necessarily just-
ified by it.

India feels that her primary
problem is to preserve her own
democracy and she believes , that
the greatest danger of Communism
comes from within. Therefore, al-
though her attitude toward Russia
has became increasingly suspicious,

Goodhart Hall on Tuesday, Jan-

Dr, Ettinghausen showed slides
which revealed that Iran is a wild

are many plains with great’ des-

is found in large salt lakes: Irri-

from permanent snow on the high

Honor In The Library? :

As most students realize, the Reserve Room in the Lib-
rary has been closed since the end of Christmas vacation.
In other words, students have had to ask a Library assistant
to find and bring them the Reserve books and cannot enter
the room themselves. The reason for this rather drastic
and perhaps arbitrary step depends first in the fact that
forty books are now missing, AWOL, from the Reserve

G Room. Secondly, statistics from past years show that - the
heaviest use of the Reserve Room is during the two weeks
just before exams. Therefore in order to make sure that
students can find the books they need when they need them,
the Closed Reserve System-has~been: instigated in spite of
a great deal of additional.trouble and expense to the Library.
Both the Library Staff and the Library Council, how-
ever, feel that a Closed ‘Reserve is degrading to the integ-
rity of Bryn Mawr students, and therefore is a matter of
) universal concern. When the carelessness and irresponsibility
of a small minority lead to the curtailment of rights for the
' whole group, it is time that the student body take a strong
stand on the issue. su

For this reason, the Library Council -will pass. out. a
questionnaire to find out exactly what student opinion is on
the subject of the Library. The recurrent problems of Open
versus Closed Reserve, and of several much-violated library

«regulations will be presented, also the possibility of some
definite type of honor system for the library will be set

~ Current Events

Republicans’ Tax Code
Favors Business,
Says Hubbard

The coming depression will be
more serious than that of 1948-’49,
said Mr. Hubbard, speaking Tues-
day, the 11th, on “Prospects For
A Balanced Budget”, but it will



not approximate that of the 1930’s.

He went on to say that this de- |
pression will be due partly to he!
Administration’s. policy-which fav-

ors a balanced budget. .A Treas-
ury committee is at present: work-

time that the tax laws of this
country have had a going over
since the 19th century. |

The committee is proposing leg-
islation which will probably result
in a greater budget deficit and at
the same time be favorable to busi-
ness. It will effect,this by two main
methods. ;

-The “first. dispensation to “busi-
ness, will allow a company to de-
duct two-thirds of the cost of cap
ital goods from its income tax, for

money for the capital goods has
been laid out. “Capital goods” in-
cludes such items as new machin-
ery, etc.

Personal income taxes may also
be lowered at the recommendation
of the committee. This reduction
would affect those personal in-
comes which are dependent com-
pany stocks) which. are, in turn,
dependent on company profits. Un-
der the present system a corpora-
tion’s profits will be taxed directly
by the government. These profits,
after taxes, are distributed to
stockholders, and are again sub-
ject to tax as personal income.

Some of Mr. Ejisenhower’s ad-
visers recommend a policy of na-
tional spending which would run
over the debt limit of 275 billion
dollars. They feel that the more
we balance the budget, the worse
the depression is-apt to be. This
is because government spending,
one of our economy’s. supports,
will be cut down.

The debt limit is not likely to
be raised, but Mr. Hubbard feels
that the debt limit should be, set
in relation to the national income.
He says the national income was
considerably lower when the limit
was set than it is at present, and
a higher national -inco
mean a higher .debt limit.

Mr. Hubbard does not believe
that this depression will be as
serious as that of the 1930’s, part-
ly because the Republicans have
learned that to. stay in office and
to avoid being blamed for the de-
pression they must take steps to
alleviate economic conditions.

Letters To

ee
Haverfordian ‘Expresses
Dissatisfaction |
Of Review

Dear: Editors,

First, let me state that I am
not, in this letter, challenging the
right of any reviewer of dramatic
entertainment in so far as the
presentation of opinions is con-
cerned, The person writing the re-
view must be left at liberty to say.
anything about the show that. she
chooses.

However, I think that the re-
viewer must realize that she has
a responsibility to her paper, her
readers;-and the people connected
with the pfoduction in question.. 1
refer, specifically, to the review
that. appeared in the December
ninth issue of the College News.

My main objection to the review
of “The Little Foxes” is that al-
most one half of it is devoted to
heaping praise on the set, the
props, and the make-up. This, in
my opinion, is sheer nonsense. A
well-written__review comments on
the technical aspects of a produc-
tion, as to their effectiveness and
excellence, but the reviewer should
not make this her major consider-
ation, in evaluating the play

It seems unnecessary for me to
attempt to untangle this review
and criticise its every phrase, A
great deal of time and effort was
put into this production by many
people, as is the case in every
College Theatre production, and it
seems a shame that a critical eval-
uation of the production should be
so lacking in depth of any sort.
When the reviewer finally puts
aside her discussion of make-up,
props, and set and gets around to
the character portrayals, she dis-'
misses two of the major characters
with but. a few words of inade-
quate praise.

This réview seems to lack any
understanding of the basic tech-
nique and purpose of theatrical re-
views and it seems to me that if
the College News is to continue
its policy of reviewing almost all
of the dramatic_productions at
Haverford and ‘Bryn Mawr, it
should think rather seriously about
the problem of getting qualified
and competent people to do that
reviewing,

Sincerely, :
Rodney H. Clurman,

To the Editors of the College News:

I should like to congratulate
John Hawkins, who produced

Benét’s A Child Is Born at Haver-;

ford December 14th, and also Elsie
Kemp, who played the part of the
Innkeeper’s wife. Right in the
midst of the cheerful caroling and
carousing of Christmas week, they
managed to create half an hour of
real joy and peace.

One-act plays ought to be given
more often around here. They are



travelers of the glory and power
of the gods and the kings. The
dead were not buried, as this would
corrupt the earth; but they were
left on the tops of high towers.
Color was used: extensively and
effectively during the third period
of Persian cultural development
i.e. from 700 A.D. on. Small bits
of vari-colored. baked brick were
used together to create intricate
patterns or mosaics. All of the
outer walls of some buildings were

made of such tiny pieces of brick. |

Places of worship and religious
universities were the most elabo-
rate. Green was the dominating
color in such buildings, for it sug-

(brown paper hangings, around a

because of its simplicity! The cos-
tumes were daubs of strong colors.
The acting was also strong-colored.

\. deLagunas Depart
¥ or Alaskan Trip

‘by Molly Epstein, ’56
Amid the bustle of last-minute



preparation for her Alaskan. ex-.
pedition, I met -with Miss. Fred |

erica deLaguna, -Associate Profes-
sor of Anthropology and Chairman
of the Bryn Mawr Sociology and
Anthropology Department, in her
Library Office.
Through grants-in-aid from the
Social Science Research Council
and. the- American Philosophical
Society in Philadelphia, Miss de-
a aan her assistant, Mary Jane
* Downs, Fellow in Sociology . and
Anthropology, and her mother,
Mrs. Grace :deLaguna, Professor
Emeritus in Philosophy, will leave

January 81 or February 1 for

Yakutat on the Gulf of Alaska.
Their purpose,..says Miss deLa-
guna, is to “continue there the pro-
gram of combining archeological,
ethnological and _ historical re-
search that I began in 1949 among
the Northern Tlingit.”

Miss deLaguna is_ especially
looking forward to this expedition
since she has never spent the win-
ter among the Tlingit. Winter
study should be rewarding because
“the economic and social life of the
Indians has seasonal rhythms,” and
although many of the old customs
have disappeared, some are still
practiced in the winter and are
observable at no. other times.

More important, in gathering in-.

formation, —Miss—-deLaguna __relies

largely on the natives’ tales about

their lives before the arrival of the

Pianist Connects

Bach And Chopin

' “The person Chopin really loved
among the composers was Bach,”
said Miss Agi Jambor in the intro-
duction to her concert composed of
work by both composers. The con-
cert was held in the Common Room
at Haverford College on Sunday,
January 10 at eight thirty.

“Before a concert he would play
Bach for hours to get in, the mood
to play,” she continued. Miss Jam-
bor added that the work of both

“needs playing with equal preci-
sion,” and hinted at the similarity
in her interpretation of both when
she said, “I don’t belong to the
historical school of playing Bach.
Modern instruments make- the
music more beautiful.’ We should
not go back.”

Her first selection, Bach’s Chiro-
matic Fantasy and Fugue was
brilliant with variation and grada-
tion in tone. The second, Varia-
tions in Italian Style was more
what: is expected of Bach. Here
careful exposition of the themes
was the center 6f interest. The
Tocatta in D Major which: followed
was like the Fugue in its similar-
ity to Chopin.

When the enthusiastic audience
continued to applaud during what
was intended for the intermission,
Miss Jambor played some unsched-
uled pieces including a Bach in-
vention,- and ‘then continued with
the program.

She pointed out. one section of

a broker, unless you can pay $8.40
or more. Brokers are in business

‘with the gallery crowd.
But inexpensive admissi@h is
Besides--balcony seats,
standing room is sold for runaway
hits. You can buy it at. the price
of the cheapest ticket for that per-
formance—or about $2. This en-
titles you to a four foot space in
the back of the main floor, and a
railing to lean on—plus a good
view, since most theatres are
small.

1. R. C., which sponsored the dis-
cussion, and Judy Haywood, travel
representative for Undergrad, in-
iroduced the speakers.

Stressing the advantages of

travelling abroad with an organized
group, Mrs. Margaret McVeagh,
representing Cooks’ Tours, talked
about the various methods through
which this may be done,
Some tourists pay for all serv-
ices ahead of time and are guided
by ‘an escort. Others may travel
independently, paying in advance
tor hotel rooms and some sight-
seeing, but not for meals and
escort,

Mrs. McVeagh noted that ship-
ping space. for this summer is at
a premium and° that the Holland-
American line: offers student rates,
which are lower than those for
vourists.

Mary Winslow spoke of the mer-
its of completely -.independent
travel. Since-her decision to) go
avioad last summer was a sudden
one, Mary secured advance reser-
vations for only the first three
days, but found little dimioulty in
getting them later.

Mary felt that an excellent
method of seeing a country at
one’s own speed is to rent a car;
this can be done at surprisingly

a short tour if one wishes, as Mary
did in London. She concluded by
observing that there is almost no
language barrier in the Scandin-
avian countries, since they © are
small and there are many English
speaking inhabitants.

A recent visitor to France and
Italy, Danny Luzzatto, advocated



“Me and Juliet,” while not up to |
the pair’s usual musical standards,
certainly provides a strong drama-
tic impact.

The show you shouldn’t miss is
“Picnic,” WaiHiam Inge’s Pulitzer
Prize comedy. -Production is ex-
cellent,

Other holdovers are listed below
in the order in which they should
give you the | most for your money:

—“Dial M for Murder”: Maurice
Evans in a slick British thriller.-

—“The Fifth Season”: Menasha
Skulnik and a bevy of half-dressed
women in a clowning comedy about
the garment industry.

—“‘Wonderful Town”: Rus-
sell, high-kicking baritone, romps
through warmed-over “My Sister |
Eileen”, with Leonard Bernstein
score.

—“‘My Three Angels”: Walter
Slezak plays convict-turned-god.
father in an off-beat comedy which
borders-on fantasy.

—“‘Can-Can”: settings and danc-
ing keep this Cole Porter extrava-
ganza going.

And a Note to Stay-At-Homes:
Watch for notices of “Porgy and

exceptionally fine production has

lem,

Danny also pointed out that if
one gets a list of suggested hotels,
reservations are not needed. She
felt that ultimately, independent
travel enables one to.see what one
wants and to really get the feel
of a country visited.

“Deeds, not words” is a slogan
of the Work Camp project, which
was represented by its director,
Mr, Edward Wright... Although
there are work camps in Mexico,
the United States and Europe, Mr,
Wright concentrated on those
abroad.

Peace Stressed

The original aim of the camps
was to help build peace through
small groups of volunteers, often
former enemies, living, working,
and learning together. Most of
those -camps”are small, of perhaps
twenty-five persons, half of which
are from the host-country.

The cost of a Work Camp sum-
mer, including transportation toa,
Europe. and back, is $460, There
are about fifty.camps for all ages
and a great variety of -work is
done at them. Success of a camp,’
said Mr. Wright, depends upon the
individual volunteers themselves.

An enthusiastic supporter of the
Experiment for International Liv-
ing was Sheppie Glass. She said
the Experiment’s purpose is to
bring international living down to
the student level.

Each Experimenter, for whom
the cost of the trip is $800, spends
one month in a private home. Fol-
lowing that, a~group of visiting
students take a trip with a group
of students native-to the country
they are in.

‘Sheppie felt the Experiment to



be a real ‘challenge. One ‘must be

| prepared to “expect the unexpect-

‘ed”, and to be flexible in the face
of changing plans; she felt that
joining the experiment is-an ex-

, cellent way to get acquainted with

a country.

Northrop Speaks At Current Events
On Growing Mexican Industrialization

An underdeveloped country is
faced with a dilemma like the

problem of “Which comes first, the}

chicken or’ the egg?” Mexico, a
country only beginning to develop
industrially, was the topic o1 a*talk
by Miss - Northrop in Current
Events on Monday, January 4.

With a lack of demand forscap-
ital goods and services, and a lack,
of capital, which helps to cause
this lack of demand, it is difficult
for her to ‘begin to grow econom-
ically.

Despite this, Mexico js in the
process of developing. How she is
trying to improve her conditions,
as-well-as the result of her~—at-
tempt, was: the problem Miss Nor-
throp discussed.

Basically, Mexico has three vital
necessities: One of these is the
development of:an educational sys-
tem. “Agricultural-education is. not
enough; more than that must. be
provided in order for the Mexicans
to be able to develop their indus-
tries and to keep them in, native
hands.

Industrialization

‘ Credit. facilities must be. creat-

ed, although, says Miss Northrop,
that is not being planned or work-.

ed on for the immediate future

To develop any country good
roads and transportation are need-
ed to make available market facil-
ities. In Mexico many communi-
ties are isolated and untouched iby
twentieth © century “givilization.
Wherever roads have been built an
immediate cKange takes place and
advancement begins. ‘

Attempts: to fulfill these needs
and improve the _situation- have
naturally been: made. Despite the
above problems, industrialization
has been improving since the ’30s.
Textiles, which was the first real
industry in Mexico, was developed
during this period along with many
other types of manufacturing.
World War II created a demand



that these industries could not ac
commodate because of their lack of
facilities and capital goods.

Since. the war new plants have|°
been built up. Much of this is due

to direct ‘investment “‘from- foreign|’

owned corporations. Such Ameri-
can companies as General Electric,
Sears-Roebuck, and, the ever pres
ent Coca-Cola are tobe seen all
over Mexico.

This country has had its agricul-
tural revolution and land reform.
The revolution, (1910 to 1920) cre-
ated an unstable government until
the mid-thirties when Cardinez
came into power and parcelled out
big land holdings to the peasants.

Aims and Effects -

The aim of all this development
is to raise the standard of living
of the people. The government is
providing-more ‘public-services —-It
is building roads, developing hydro-
électric plants, increasing telephone

connections and taking care. ‘of

water supplies and irrigation. The
last.is-of vital concern -in Mexico,
an arid country.

_ It is interesting to note that
with ‘this reform the ‘church has
lost its:political power. and much
of its land wealth, and the govern-
ment has obtained increased econ-
omic control. Labor unions also
have naturally sprung up with the
increase of manufacturing, and
have gained in political influence

extraordinary,” exclaimed Mr.
Bowles, “yet she has just begun.”

He pointed out, however, that
India must initiate a program that
will demonstrate tangible year to

year results to the “common “vil- —

lager. This is being accomplished

through malaria control, increased
education and land reforms.

. “The people must be taught to
help ‘themselves,” emphasized Mr;
Bowles. ‘“Aid-must come from the
grass roots, for only when at-
tempting a projeet in its own right
will the people accomplish some-
thing. One is excited and opti-
mistic when looking at’what Asian
people are doing; but sobered when
looking at the distance left to go.”

The economic future of India re-
mains a question mark. In six
months when Nehru will run for
re-election, the democracy-totali-
tarian paradox. may reach _ its
height. At any ‘rate, it is quite
certain that should Nehru be de-
feated, the Five Year Plan will dis-
integrate; with it will go the
forces that are at work to estab-
lish India as a well developed dem-
ocracy, -eccnumiically' stable, and
financially sound.

, Disappointment And Pride Shape Asia’s Attitude
Bowles Suggests U. S. Honesty On -Compromises

she prefers guarding against self
disintegration to protecting her
“self against Russia without regard
for her dignity as a nation.,

The link between India and Red
_ China is tenuous but based on
Asian pride and a desire to see
Asia “talk back” to :the West
‘When she learned from the invasion
of Tibet that China may be. after
all “just another Communist coun
try,” India had to fortify Nepa
against invasion, Yet she continue
to believe that China is strong
enough to be a threat to Russia
and hence maintain an indépend-
ent ‘position. She also feels that
United States’ refusal to recognize
Communist “China is a -powerful
Russian propaganda weapon which
should be eliminated.

Asian feeling toward the United

States has been recently hostile;

not because of. basic enmity, but
because of a deep disappointment
in a present policy which often
: seems a repudiation of our ideals,
Tre Asian cannot seé why. we somie-
times back colonialism in Asia and

‘often must make; if compromise‘

is necessary, we must explain this

fact, not hide it.

A great vacuum exists around
india in the Middle East and in
j3outheast Asia, We see in the
oresent situation a danger of pos-
sible’ Chinese imperialism but the
ndians view crises in the area as
a struggle between nationalism
and colonialism. It is as if “two
pairs of glasses look at the same
facts.” The only way to fill these;

to settle their differences and be-
come a bulwark of Asian demo-
cracy.

What are these India-Pakistan
differences? They> are tragic -er-
rors, says Mr. Bowles. Although
their peoples are of different re-
ligions, they were able to live in
peace until British colonization
set Hindu against Moslem, and
they can live in peace again. Mr.

Chesterfield tops ’em all.

Only Chesterfield gives you proof of highest
