Barsky, °57
Being. a concert artist is a full
time job. Being a professor, par-
ticularly head of a department, is
more than a full-time job. Yet, in
spite of existing pressures, Mr.
Horace Alwyne has successfully
combined the two. His brilliance as
a pianist was shown when he gave
his annual recital on March 38rd,
in Goodhart. :
The recital began with.a per-
formance of the “Chromatic Fan-
tasia and Fugue” by Bach. This is
the kind of piece which demands a
clarity of style and technique in
order to present it successfully.
Mr. Alwyne was able to do just
that.
Mr. Alwyne then added a pleas-
antly intimate tone to his program
when he stopped to. explain ‘the
different tableaux shown in. Mus-
sorgsky’s. “Pictures at an Exhibi-
tion.” This work is better known
by the Ravel orchestration, which
this reviewer prefers to the orig-
inal piano score. Perhaps that is
why a few of the pieces seemed a
little lacking in spirit.
Of course the piano cannot be
of an orchestra. The changes of
dynamics were particularly note-
worthy and added much to the
color of the work. The most effec-
tive scenes were “The Old Castle,”

Denys Page Talks on Homeric Odyssey
And Inconsistencies in Ending Sections
The fifth lecture in a series on
the Odyssey .was given by Denys
Page in Goodhart Auditorium at
8:30, Monday, March 8. He dealt:
mainly with the return of Odys-
seus, the slaying of the suitors, and
the general technique the poet or
so that it could eventually be in-
'sulated for use all year.
Displaying her usual sense of
humor, Barbie claimed that she
was in organic lab trying to figure
out an unknown (“unsuccessfully,
of course”)* when Bobbie Olsen ar-
rived to tell her the news. She said,
“TJ was in such a twit after that,
that I still didn’t figure out the un-
known until some time later. I
looked just.like some mad scientist
with a yellow corsage on a dirty
white lab coat.”
Barbie is a biology major and
plans to enter medical school after
graduation — possibly Penn, Yale
or Cornell. When asked what she
was interested in, besides sports
and. science, Barbie answered that
she likes music and occasionally
terrorizes Denbigh with her trom-
bone playing. Her passion is sail-
ing.
_ At present she is quite excited
about her agenda for this summer,
which includes a trip to Germany
“lt visit her mother’s relatives.

5:00 Poetry Reading by Mr.
poets used,
In the last third of the Odyssey
there is a. sudden change for the
worse in technique, style and qual-
ity. All evidence points to the fact
that this was the work of an in-
ferior poet. This theory was also
held by the great Homeric scholars
of the third century B.C.
Four scenes constitute the last
of the. Odyssey as. we now know it.
An objective study of the Greek
language in the third scene would
indicate that it was written by an
author familiar with fifth and sixth
century Athenian speech, with an
imperfect knowledge of the ancient
epic style. Similar indications
throughout these episodes lead
scholars to believe that the entirety
of this third scene was.added later
-to the then completed Odyssey.
In general the scenes fall below
the narrative power associated with
the Odyssey. The poet breaks ele-

Conyers Read, in a lecture on

Puritanism in the early part of
its history was not a creative way
of religion. Instead it was critical
and reforming, maintaining as its
role unified opposition to the at-

Major Strength
Of Self-Goy.
To the Editor,
In .consideration of the mock
case held by Self-Gov. a few weeks
ago, we felt that we would like to
discuss several of’ the questions
which arose concerning the ideals
as opposed to the practices of Self-
Gov. The mock case revealed a
question which involves the entire
student body—that is: to what ‘ex-
tent must the Board be influenced
by campus opinion in regard to its
decisions. Everyone agreed without
exception “that ‘the strength of
Self-Gov. lies in its consideration
of the individual. It was most defi-
than the letter of the law should
be emphasized, and the circum-
stances surrounding each case must
taken into consideration before
a fair judgment can be reached.
Since the members of the Self-Gov.
board are-elected with regard to
their ability to balahce he written
law with an individual’s action we
feel the entire campus must allow
them to do so. The Self-Gov.
Board’s decisions should not, be
limited in any way through fear of
udent reaction to vary:
na
In addition we felt that the stu-
dent’s word shouldbe taken as fi-
nal at all timd@s. Those who criti-
cize this believe ‘that the witnesses
to the offense will/be upset by the
fact that this offense must go un-
punished. On the contrary, we feel
that the respect which Self-Gov.
receives from the student body lies
in the fact that each student is
morally responsible for her ‘own
actions. Self-Gov. should seek to
bring the offender to a realization
of this responsibility and this can-
not be done by doubting her word.
It is here that social pressure en-
ters the picture. By the influence
of opinion, rather than by legisla-
tion, the girl will be made aware
of her moral responsibility. We
feel that social pressure should and
will be applied. The student cannot
be compelled to use social pressure
for it is again a question of indi-
vidual responsibility.
We of Rhoads Hall feel very
strongly that the Self-Gov. Board
should have complete freedom: to
follow the principles which are the
basis of Self Government.

Knitting At Lectures"
Very Impolite —
To Guests ©
Letter to the Editor,
This concerns a touchy subject— |:
one very close to the daily life of
most Bryn Mawrters — knitting.
Some professors do object to knit-
ting in their classes and they have
the opportunity to object. But lec-
turers are rarely asked their opin-
ions on knitting and therefore at
every lecture, out comes the ar-
gyle patterns, sweaters, scarves
I have talked to a few of the lec-
turers who have been invited to
the college and they have said that
the stimulated look upon our faces’
during their lectures is usually not
due to the content of the talk, but
due to the fact that you found that
stitch you dropped.
You-want to knit ?—Fine—do it
elsewhere, but please don’t clack
your knitting needles in a lectur-
er’s face. The Common Room at
Goodhart may stress an atmos-
phere of informality, but that is
no reason for rudeness. Try con-
centrating on the lecturer and not
-on whether you'll have Tom’s socks
Current Events
' IndividualConsideration | Ms: Woolston Explains
Depressions And
Forecasts -
An economist advertising the
mistakes of her profession was the
unusual phenomenon whic
place in current events’ last Mon-
day evening. The economist, Mrs.
Woolston, did not @o°this just *to
“wash dirty linens in public.” We
can--profit, and she hoped that we
all would profit, from these mis-
takes in the past by attempting to
avoid them in the future, and, by
avoiding the omewhat lessen
the effects of depressions.
A review of depressions and
slumps seems to tell a tale of blun-
ders on the part of the economist.
In 1925, after World War I, Brit-
ain felt that if she did not deyalue
the world on the gold standard, a
depression was bound to occur.
Today,..off the gold standard,
‘our economy seems remarkably
healthy.
. In 1927 economists predicted the
fall of the Russian economy and
complete failure in all endeavors
when the U.S.S.R. adopted her first

seamed to.strike, In 1928 and 1929,
however, all changes on the stock
market were thought to be slight

economy.
mists were in the camp. of those
who belittled the future of Adolph
Hitler. They felt he was sure: to
collapse because of the inflation in
Germany and the persistence of his
government in spending money.
After the war, few felt that the
United States could weather the
crisis of reconversion to peace-time
economy. Unemployment figures
were predicted-at as much as 12
million. Actually no more than 8
million were unemployed during
this period of adjustment following
the sécond world war.
Plight of Forecaster
“Forecasting,” therefore, accord-
ing to Mrs. Woolston, “is a thing
we may be able to do some day
with the help of the psychologist,
the political scientist, and the soci-
ologists as well as the economists.”
Of .course the forecaster is al-
ways in a funny position. If his ad-
vice ig heeded then the things he
forecasts never occur ‘and he: is
viewed with skepticism. If he is
not heeded, then, when the disas-
ters occur, he is eyed with the dis-
like that the ancients gave to Cas-
sandra,
Due to all these failures the
economists have adopted ‘a method
which they. call projection. It is not
a forecast, but an assumption.
Mrs. Woolston then discussed the
relations of what she had discussed
to the economic situation directly
ahead of us. Lately, there has been
a rise in unemployment and.. low-
ering of the. amounts of retail
sales, —

B. M. C. Scientists Consider Variations
In Experimental An
Dalton, Mar. 2—The theme of
definition and example ran through
the lectures. of four of Bryn
Mawr’s scientists as they attempt-
ed to clarify their positions on
“Models in the Sciences: Their Use
and Misuse”. Prof. J. C. Oxtoby
was the mn merator. of the sym-
‘posium.
Mr. Berry, speaking on models
in biology, elaborated on one of
Webster’s definitions of the world:
a model is “that which exactly re-
sembles something; a copy’. The
chief distinction he drew was be-
tween anatomical models, (such as
plaster or plastic replicas of the
ear ‘or kidney), which have an ob-

Plunkett Speaks
On Honors Work
Common Room, March 4 — A
joint meeting of the, League and
Alliance boards presented Molly
Plunkett, who spoke on the work
she is doing for her honors paper.
Her’ subject was “Bryn Mawr’s
Responsibility to Race Relations”.
She chose this topic because be
presented a great deal of field
work. Her area was West Phila-
delphia which five years ago was
totally segregated for Negroes. She
found that Negro and white real
estate agents would form partner-
ships to buy a house in an all-white}
neighborhood. Then they would tell
everyone in the block that a Negro
family was moving in, and would
ask for the option on the family’s
house, inferring that the white
family would naturally wish to
move, ‘under the circumstances.
This practice while allowing
Negroes to move into a previously
segregated area, gave the agents
illegal profits because the Negro
families would pay more for the
' house, and created a great deal of
alogies and Models
models used in biology, in ‘general,
cannot be used as a basis for pre-
diction,.as models in other sciences
often can be used.
Miss Hoyt’s “nerve analogue”
said Mr. Berry, is an attempt to
duplicate physical processes which
occur in the nerve. If she is suc-
cessful, she will have accomplished
something which he feels is unique
in biology: a model which permits
predictions,as to the: behavior of
the nerve under various conditions.
Psychological Models |
Miss Hoyt used illustrations
from the field of physics in her dis-
cussi0n of scientific models. She
differentiated, primarily, a concep-
tual model from an analogy. Lab
observations, word images, dia-
| grams, demonstrations, etc., may
result in a “theory” ‘which she
would prefer to call a, “conceptual
model”,
In translating theoretical prob-
lems into mathematical terms, it
may~ be discovered that different
problems obey similar mathema-
tical laws. Then, ‘although two
systems
physical laws, we may have a per- |
fect analogy, and by solving one
problem solve the other.
analogy is not always an easy one.
Miss Hoyt feels that some of Dr.
Berry’s examples, specifically the
nerve, are analogies rather than
models. A model is either correct
or incorrect; but an analogy~ is
either useful or useless.
Mr. Adams feels that there are
at least three different kinds of
models in psychology; which may
be the most useful is largely a
matter of debate. A “hypothetical
construct” is an entity which has
never been observed directly but
whose existence is inferred from
behavior patterns. Intervening
variables are psychological “unob-
servables’” which serve as links in
a mathematical chain leading from
one series of “observables” to
another.

Haverford’s annual Class Night
was presented last Friday after
the usual battle.with the board of
censors. Original shows were pre-

take-off on Jim Bradbeer. <«
Haverford vs. Swarthmore
The Junior skit, “Inner Lit,” -was
written and directed by Berkeley
Harris. The traditional Haverford-
Swarthmore rivalry was shown as
Haverford men and gangsters hired
by Swarthmore searched in Persia
for George Fox’s inner light.
Berkeley Harris as the Palm Beach
Baron and Teddy Bledsoe as a
Haverford man did excellent jobs.
Clever lines and effective scenery
helped to make the show a big suc-
cess,
The. Freshman show, “We’re
Walking Behind You,” was directed
by Lauro Holstead and John Knott.
In it, Mike Mallet, a Brooklyn de-
tective, played by Charles Adams,
wanted’ to change the course of
history by saving Caesar’s life, Un- |
fortunately, Mike was diverted
from his purpose by Brutus’ wife,
Portia, who had other ideas.
Caesar, who was played by Bill
Newmeyer, died, and history stay-

The inflow of precious metals
from the new world had meant an
inflation in England. Landowners,
who were-among’ the hardest. hit,
were forced to raise their rents,
and also in some cases to replace
a great number of peasants with
one shepherd, in order to increase
their profits. However, as the gen-
try and the Crown were united,
there was little the reformers could’
do. They became branded as “Bap-
tists,” or people against the gov-
ernment or established’ ways. The
term “Baptist” was used in those
days in much the same way that
“Communist” is used today, ex-

Masella, New Treasurer
Third Non-Res Elected
“I was very confused about it
all,”-Kit Masella. remarked about
her election: as‘Common Treasurer.
Armed with five little packages of |
‘erackers she had retired to the
Non-res room to await the news
which eventually came “by way of
the grapevine.”
This is to say- that Kit learned
of her election through the incum-
bent Common Treasurer, Jessica |
Dragonette, rather than from the
President -of Undergrad, Wendy
Ewer, who had been delayed in
reaching...her.
“TI created a problem for the Ex-
ecutive Council,” Kit went on
explain, “They couldn’t decide who
should tell me.” But, protocol, or
no protocol ‘,luckily, the nervous
tension was dispelled before the
crackers gave ‘ut.
Kit professes to-have no plans
about reverting to the' silver. stand-

sible, and I’ll be learning the ropes
from them.” “I should like to ex-
press my appreciation for the hon-

Bryn Mawr’s scene was the ‘only
one in which scripts were not, used;
this allowed for greater freedom of
presentation. The cast, composed
of Catherine Rogers, Danielle Luz-
zatto, Charlotte Busse, Liz War-
ren, John Kittredge, and Wyllis
mn
Bibbins, was, on the whole, quite
good, if somewhat handicapped by
the smallness of the stage.
Danielle Luzzatto, as the daugh-
ter, was for the most part ex-
tremely able, but occasionally was
too dramatic—a very easy thing. to
do since the character that she .was
portraying. was a _.melodramatic
one, Catherine Rodgers was excel-
lent as the domineering, arty. di-
rector who tries to give body. to
the dramatic situation of the scene,
Charlotte Busse, too, although
her part was extremely small, was
exceptional in her. portrayal. of the
mother who witnesses the degrada-
tion of her daughter by the father
(John Kittredge). The part of the
father, a calm, polished gentleman,
was handled very ably by John
Kittredge, as was the part of the
actor, played by Wyllis Bibbins,
The comedy of the play was well
received, but the real drama of the
incident was not fully appreciated
by the audience, perhaps due to the
technical difficulties which arise in
presenting a reading at a strange
place. The climax of the play, for
example, fell somewhat flat due to
_| the fact that it demanded a com-
plete blackout, which, due to the
lack of stage lighting facilities,
was impossible,

team triumphed over Ursinus last
Friday, March 5, in the Bryn Mawr

12 for the Varsity and J.V., respec-
tively.
In the Varsity events, Ruth
Youngdahl captured first place ‘in
the 2-length freestyle event with
the time of 29.2. Peggy King took
the breaststroke race in 37.7, while
Dina Bikerman was third in the
same event. Ann Lebo and Janet
Hetzel placed first and third re-
spectively in the backstroke; win-
ning time, 34.1.
Both: the medley relay ‘dian
(Lebo, King, Fisher) and the free-
style-relay team (Youngdahl, King,
Lebo; and Fisher) were winners
for Bryn Mawr, while Janet Het-
zel’s superb diving added another
first place to the Bryn Mawr rec-
ord. Glenna Vare took third mace
in the diving.

J.V., Ibby Waud_ stroked to first
place in the freestyle race with the
time of 31.2, as teammate. Mo

Both BME J:V. relay teams—the
medley squad:composed of Sands,
S. Hetzel, and Bobbie Zwart, and
the freestyle relay team of J. Me-
Elroy, Knowlton, Gibbs and Waud
—were victorious.
This double victory over Ursinus
brought the Bryn Mawr. team’s

On Epic's Additions
Continued‘from Page 1
The poet likes to include-snatches
of, or allude’ to, stories not told in
the Odyssey itself. Other versions
of the epic are found throughout
this section, intermingled ‘with the
version found in the body of the
Odyssey. The poet seems to be
concerned with, what might have
been, not what is, in the terms of
what has already been Written | in
the preceding books.
The verdict, of the Alexandrian
critics is that line 296 of the XXVI
book is the end of the true Odys-
sey, and all that follows is the
loosely attached work of.an inferior
poet of a later date. However, the
Odyssey is a complex poem, an
epic that cannot be unraveled in the
present; we have gone as far as we
can on solid ground in decipherihg
it.
