Mayor Joseph Clark

To Speak On City’s Welfare Problem

Joseph S. Clark, mayor of the
city of Philadelphia, will address
the College Wednesday, March 2,
at 8:15 in Goodhart auditorium.

Sponsored by the League, Mayor
Clark will speak on “Welfare
Problems in the City of Philadel-
phia.” His talk is part of a series
given by the League to illustrate
various social and welfare prob-
lems.

Described by U.S. News as a
“vigorous young reformer,” Mayor
Clark, a Democrat, went into office
in 1951, breaking the 67-year-old
Republican rule of Philadelphia. In
1952, his. coalition, composed of
Democrats, liberals and independ-
ents, helped Adlai Stevenson carry
Philadelphia by more than 161,000
votes. However, the 1953 elections,
in which the Republicans were vic-
torious in Philadelphia, clearly
pointed up Clark’s lack of a polit-
ical machine. —

Business Week has called his ad-
ministration a “businessman’s ad-
ministration,” and this is true in-a
variety of ways. Scandals uncov-
ered by a commission composed
largely of businessmen in 1948 was

Of Philadelphia

which carried Clark into office.
One of the most obvious results
of Clark’s co-operation with busi-
ness is the Penn Center project,
which rebuilt city streets and
utilities.

With the exception of his clearly
liberal political affiliations (he has
supported the Americans for Dem-
ocratic Action), Clark’s back-
ground appéals to many population
groups. Born into an old Philadel-
phia family, he attended Harvard
and the University. of Pennsyl-
vania law school; during the Sec-
ond World War he served as a col-
onel. He had run for public~Office
but once, in 1936, and then unsuc-

cessfully.

Clark’s other accomplishments
as mayor have included a revamp-
ing of Philadelphia’s budget and
municipal service systems. Accord-
ing to Business Week, his political
future will not cease with the may-
oralty of Philadelphia, and it has
been said that Clark is a likely
candidate for a national office, in-



cluding a Senate seat.



especially contributed by

Nancy Houghton, Chairman,
Student Curriculum. Committee

The Faculty and Student Curric-
ulum Committees met jointly to
consider the whole question of
class discussion, its place in teach-
ing, its value to students, and its
adaptability to different kinds and
sizes of courses. The Student Com-
mittee felt that it was an impor-
tant part. of teaching, giving the
individual student a chance to for-
mulate and express her thoughts
verbally and stimulating: individual
evaluation of the material pre-
sented.

The members of the Faculty
Committee raised the following
questions around which the discus-
sion centered. In response to the
question of what was actually
meant by “class discussion,” stu-
dents defined the ideal discussion
as a spontaneous exchange of opin-
ions and ideas revolving around
specific material considered in
class which allowed for a differ-
ence of interpretation.

Is the problem of. class discus-
sion more acute in elementary
classes or in the advanced? — Stu-
dents agreed that it was, and there
was a suggestion that greater em-
phasis and encouragement of dis-
cussion could be made in the
Freshman Comp courses., . This
would perhaps offset the fact that
the first two years of lecture
courses “tend to “make “a student
reticent about sarthetbating in dis-
cussions when she reaches the ad-
vanced level, a fact which the stu-
dents confirmed.

The Faculty and Student Com-
mittees realized that a successful
discussion is both the responsibil-
ity of the professor in preparing |
stimulating and interesting ques-
tions and of the student in having

thoughtfully completed the mater-}

ial assigned. Various suggestions
were made for the improvement-of
discussions, It was mentioned that

as does a small class which this
presupposes. The system of class-
es might be changed to include two
lectures and one discussion group
a week, a system which has work-
ed effectively at Princeton. Anoth-
er possibility was that of extend-

ing ‘the list of courses which would
fill the lit. requirement, permitting
smaller sections where discussion
would be possilbe.

President McBride asked the
Student Committee to make a study
of general student opinion and in-
terest in furthering class discus-
sion to be presented through the
Faculty Committee to the faculty,
as a whole. In order for our re-
port to be accurate, we need as
many ideas and opinions as you
have, so pro and con, please men-
tion them to any member of the
Committee or send me a note, and
by all means DISCUSS them with
anyone and everyone!

Mme. Jambor Ends Lectures

About Bach at

The week of February 14 to 18
was the occasion of a Bach Sym-
posium, celebrating the “expansion
of Bryn Mawr’s music department.

The series of lectures, given by

|Mme. Agi Jambor, was open to
‘students of the music department
'and to the faculty.
Lambs”; Al Mackey, also a lead in’
last year’s maids and porters show,
will sing “He’s Got the Whole’
World in His Hands”; Louis White,’

Her opening
lecture on Monday, Feb 14,
was a general introduction to Bach.
Mme. Jambor feels that the best
way to understand the composer
is to play his music.

Although Bach did not indicate
the phrasing and tempo of his com-
‘positions, the performer can usu-
aily infer this from the words, the
title, or the instrument for which
the work was written. She has no
objection, as do many performers,
to playing transcriptions, if they
add to the beauty of the composi-
tion,

Jambor discussed phrasing, tempo,
dynamics and the different ‘edi-
tions. Bach is dreaded by young
performers because he gives no
phrasing or dynamic signs. Al-
though this creates difficulties, it
enables the performer to play a
greater part in the “creation” of
the music.

According to Mme. Jambor, the
Kalmus Edition of..Bach’s. works
is the best available. Many of the
other editions, notably the Czerny,
contain additions to the original
music, which hot only are falsifica-
tions, but usually do not increase
the beauty of the original.

In discussing the Bach Poly-
phony on Wednesday, Mme. Jam-
bor suggested several psycholog-
ical reasons for the appeal of the
fugue.

Its similarity to a conversation



In her lecture on Tuesday, Mme. |



Friday Concert

between two people, the distortion
of original happenings, as in a
dream, or the appearance and re-
appearance of something beautiful
or ‘beloved, as in the childhood
game of peek-a-boo, are possible
explanations.
sation helps most in interpreta-
tion.

‘Mme. Jambor illustrated on the
piano her ideas on interpretation
of fugues and inventions. She em-
phasized the necessity of indepen-
dence and coordination of the dif-
ferent voices in playing composi-
tions of this sort.

Keyboard music was the subject
of her final lecture, Thursday, Feb-
ruary 17, when she spoke about the
technical problems of ornamenta-
tions, trills and pedalling, She
closed by saying that the purpose
of music was to make communica-
tion between men easier and deep-
er. We must follow music with
the heart as well as with the in-
tellect.

At the concert Friday evening
in Goodhart, Mme.
sented the following program:

Italian Concerto.

The Alliance letter concern-
ing government restriction of
West Point and Annapolis de-
bate will not be sent. Although
the college favored sending the
letter by a vote of 318-194, the
majority of the Alliance board
felt that a 62% proportion of
the voters was not a great
enough number ‘to permit sign-
ing the College’s name, even if
the. vote were recorded in the
mening.













The college Legislature has vot-
ed to change seven previously col-
lege-elected offices to class-elected.
The changes. entailed amending the
constitutions “of Undergrad, Alli-
ance, and League.

The basic reason for the changes
is to make the election system less
complicated and elaborate. There
are, however, three general reasons
for the change: 1) to shorten the
election period, 2) to cut down the
work of the nominating committee
and, 3) to enable students: to be
better informed on the candidates
for the lesser offices.

The new election procedures for
the following offices, all of which
were previously elected by the en-
tire college, are as follows:
Undergrad _

Common Treasurer—Candidates
nominated and elected by the soph-
omore class. This procedure was
changed because the position of
Common Treasurer is being alter-
ed to include only Self-Gov. and
Undergrad. The treasurers of Al-
liance, League, and A.A. will han-
dle the finances for their organiza-
tions. .

Ist Junior Member—Elected by
the sophomore class from. names
submitted by the nominating com-
mittee,
from the floor. _

1st Sophomore Member—Elected

“Time For A Change”

The College legislature, in making the recent changes in
election procedure, was rightfully concerned with “cutting
down the work of the nominating committee.” We'd like to
go a step further. We'd like to cut the work of the nomin-
ating committee down to nothing. In short, we’d like to
eliminate it altogether, as the primary offender in Bryn
Mawr’s elaborately organized election system.

The nominating committee seems to us undemocratic,
inefficient, and unnecessary. It goes through a complicated
process of selecting, checking and eliminating, without any
assurance that it will come up with the best qualified candi-
dates. Because it deals with the candidates through second
and third hand sources, it must often rely on the reputation
and personality rather than the ability of those who are run-
ning. The fact that the same names appear over and over
for the different campus offices would seem to verify this—
that the committee, when confronted with the choice beween
a lesser and better known name, will play it safe and pick the
latter. The people who are interested in an office have no
way of making this known to the committees. They can only
hope that their name, when read out of the finding list, may
be selected.

Then the committee begins the job of collecting, sifting
and sorting write-ups of the opinions of the friends of the
candidates, thereby, dws say, assuring that only the finest
survive. But when eight names are finally submitted to the
class, the rule is that names can be added to the list from the
floor. How risky! These names have been approved by no
: hierarchy, and are probably only those of the few people who
are terribly interested but somehow got left out in the scram-
ble.

Why not eliminate all the amount of work and bother
connected with the nominating committee, and let those peo-
ple who are interested nominate themselves for the various
offices? If there were a limit set on the number of offices
for which a person could run, for instance two, the candidates

for each office would be the ones most interested ont most.

able in the school.

In order to make the students better acquainted with
the candidates, we advocate eliminating the tradition that
the candidates are never allowed to speak in their own behalf.
To those who maintain that this present system assures an
election that is based on thought and reason, rather than on
campaign hurly-burly, or the personal appeal of the candi-
date, we answer that no system could encourage less thought,
for the simple reason that no. system gives you less to think

about.
~""Also;candidates. now. are judged much more on person-

ality and appearance than they would be if they could also}.

be judged on their opinions and ideas. Why not let the indi-
vidual candidates for offices hold meetings in the various
halls, there discussing with reasonably small groups their
“program” for the coming year, their plans for the office they
-are seeking. Students could have a chance to question the
dates, the candidates a chance to show their ability to
2 a scuss and handle problems such as would doubtless: arise

Letters to the Editor



February 20, 1955.
‘he Editors of ‘ihe College News,
woodhart Hall,
Bryn Mawr College.
Wear Editors:

My dog Toni, who has always
shown great interest in your es-
teemed publication, was most upset
after reading your article on Bum-
ble in the last issue. He immedi-
ately sat down and wrote an open
letter which he begged me to type
and forward to you.

Please note that I don’t share
my dog’s opinions. I like Bumble
and respect him. Nevertheless,
since 1 strongly believe in the dem-
ocratic system and in freedom of"
the press, I felt I should not refuse
my dog’s request. However, should
you find his letter unfit for publi-
cation, I would only be most grate-
ful to you. My own work keeps
me busy and I am not looking for-
ward to becoming my dog’s secre-
tary, which well might be the case
if initial success should. encourage
him to become a regular contribu-
tor to this country’s publications.

Sincerely yours,
Frances de Graaff

F. de Graaff, Secretary, Approves Of Bumble;
Toni Finds All Black Dogs Can’t Be Any Good

Dear Editors: ‘

How could you write such non-
sense about Bumble! He is the
most revolting dog I have ever
met, and I’ve met many. He is a
traitor, leaving his owners and
hanging around the men I hate.
He is a coward. When we meet he
doesn’t even dare to fight, we just
walk around each other and leave.
But he curses me most ungentle-
manly when I am in a car and
can’t get at him, Dogs that gre all
black can’t be any good.

Yours truly,

Chapel’s Efforts Achieve
‘Cloakroom Conversion’
i'o the Editor:

The Chapel Committee is very
pleased to announce that its read-
ing room is now ready for use. The
room, located next to the Common
Room in Goodhart, at one time was
shared by -the Chapel Committee
and “Non-Resident. students. The
former used it for its weekly Tues-
day meetings, while it was open to

the latter as a cloak room. How-:

ever, whether or not history pro-
gresses, the Chapel Committee has
seemed to, and its expanding at-
tendance necessitated a move to
larger quarters for meetings, viz.
the Rumpus Room.

The College has since given this
ex-cloak room to the Committee to
be’ used as a place for quiet,
thought, and reading. It has been
supplied with appropriate furnish-
ings and a table upon which may
be found religious books (which
may be signed out) and other lit-
erature of interest, such as the
friends’ Intelligencer and Com-
monweal. From time to time books
are to be added, as when Rabbi
Agus gave a copy of his newest
book on Judaism this fall; and
whenever possible, books written
by those who speak in Chapel will
be placed in the room a week or

two. before the service.
The roo s thus far remained
untitled, alth Asuggestions have

ranged from “Chapel Committee
Meditation Room” to “Room for
Thought!” We hope that evéryone
will feel welcome to make use of
this room, no longer as a cloak
room, but as a place to spend some
quiet moments in a busy day.

Current Events

Hunter Reviews Russia
In Period After
Malenkov

On February 21, Mr. Hunter, of
Bryn Mawr and Haverford, gave a
Current Events talk.on “Russia
After Malenkov.”

Mr. Hunter “set the stage” for

his discussion by listing first the
men most important in the crucial
period between Stalin’s death on
March 5, 19538, and February 10,

1955.

Within this period he took up
three important questions his audi-
ence would presumably want an-
pate taking into consideration
current political speculation. Fi-
nally, Mr. Hunter came to what. he
called some “unwarranted conclu-
sions.”

The six most important men
were Molotov, important in foreign
affairs; Beria, Minister of. Interior
until his recent and controversial
death; Malenkov, recently demot-
ed; Krushchev, the party man who
is said to pull the strings; Bulgan-

in, the new premier, who«may’

prove to be merely a figurehead;
and Zhukov, popular representa-
tive of the army, whose importance
is purely military.

Beria’s Death

During the two-year “testing
process,” Mr. Hunter outlined some
important events. After Stalin’s
death, Malenkov moved into the
two top party posts, but resigned
the key post to Khrushchev after
a week. The next event was Beria’s

death on- June 26.
I 53 there were two outstand-
ing’ speeches, the first by Malen-

kov, outlining the general policy of
the U.S.S.R., the second by



office, there would follow a week of conversing and discuss-
ing in the halls. At the end of the week one whole day could
be set aside for the elections. Instead of the extremely slow
procedure of voting for one or two candidates at a time,
which dampens any enthusiasm that one might possibly have
once had, printed ballots, listing the candidates for all offices,
could be circulated. At a given period at a polling place,
students would mark their ballots. Besides shortening the
election period, it would arouse interest in the election, and
make for a more thoughtful one. oe

We realize that it is easy to offer an entire new system,

claiming that it will solve all the existing evils. This one ob-
viously has its faults. But it does solve the problem of get-
ting first-rate candidates, and of making the election period

'}at Bryn Mawr a pleasure, instead of a pain.

Khrushchev, unusual because he

admitted that the agricultural sit- .

uation was in a worse state than
it had been in 1913; this marked
the beginning of a series of reme-
dial programs.

The first of the three questions
was, “who has political power
now?”, Mr.:Hunter does not see
how we can possibly answer this
definitely, for the party members
themselves cannot.

“What does this mean for Soviet
Foreign Policy?” was the second
topic. Under the new regime, in
spite of the public emphasis on
light industry, there has been a
marked decrease in appropriations
for this, as opposed to an increase
in appropriations for heavy indus-
try. This is obviously mot a reas-
suring shift.

Two Year Test

As to the Soviet domestic policy,
this emphasis on consumer goods
has been part of a two-year exper-
iment to increase labor produc-
tion by improved morale and or-
ganization.

So far, this’has not been partic-
ularly successful, and Mr. Hunter
believes that the policy on this
subject will probably continue to
change every three years. In addi-
tion to this problem, the basic food
supply, while adequate, is not
growing as the government thinks
it should.

Mr Hunter’s main “unwarrant-
ed conclusions” are that, first, the
U.S.S.R. is concentrating on heavy
industry chiefly from fear, and

-| that we should compete with them,
not in that field, but in technolog-

ical aid to underdeveloped coun-
tries.

Mr..Hunter believes that
Khrushchev and the Soviet army
will sustain a rapid growth; this
is a real worry, and raises the se-
rious question of what our rate of
growth should be. In conclusion,
Mr. Hunter feels that we should
definitely be dissatisfied with . our
present rate, and should concen-
trate on increasing it, instead of
| “bravely going sideways,” as we



now are.

“Time For A Change”

The College legislature, in making the recent changes in
election procedure, was rightfully concerned with “cutting
down the work of the nominating committee.” We'd like to
go a step further. We'd like to cut the work of the nomin-
ating committee down to nothing. In short, we’d like to
eliminate it altogether, as the primary offender in Bryn
Mawr’s elaborately organized election system.

The nominating committee seems to us undemocratic,
inefficient, and unnecessary. It goes through a complicated
process of selecting, checking and eliminating, without any
assurance that it will come up with the best qualified candi-
dates. Because it deals with the candidates through second
and third hand sources, it must often rely on the reputation
and personality rather than the ability of those who are run-
ning. The fact that the same names appear over and over
for the different campus offices would seem to verify this—
that the committee, when confronted with the choice beween
a lesser and better known name, will play it safe and pick the
latter. The people who are interested in an office have no
way of making this known to the committees. They can only
hope that their name, when read out of the finding list, may
be selected.

Then the committee begins the job of collecting, sifting
and sorting write-ups of the opinions of the friends of the
candidates, thereby, dws say, assuring that only the finest
survive. But when eight names are finally submitted to the
class, the rule is that names can be added to the list from the
floor. How risky! These names have been approved by no
: hierarchy, and are probably only those of the few people who
are terribly interested but somehow got left out in the scram-
ble.

Why not eliminate all the amount of work and bother
connected with the nominating committee, and let those peo-
ple who are interested nominate themselves for the various
offices? If there were a limit set on the number of offices
for which a person could run, for instance two, the candidates

for each office would be the ones most interested ont most.

able in the school.

In order to make the students better acquainted with
the candidates, we advocate eliminating the tradition that
the candidates are never allowed to speak in their own behalf.
To those who maintain that this present system assures an
election that is based on thought and reason, rather than on
campaign hurly-burly, or the personal appeal of the candi-
date, we answer that no system could encourage less thought,
for the simple reason that no. system gives you less to think

about.
~""Also;candidates. now. are judged much more on person-

ality and appearance than they would be if they could also}.

be judged on their opinions and ideas. Why not let the indi-
vidual candidates for offices hold meetings in the various
halls, there discussing with reasonably small groups their
“program” for the coming year, their plans for the office they
-are seeking. Students could have a chance to question the
dates, the candidates a chance to show their ability to

Letters to the Editor



February 20, 1955.
‘he Editors of ‘ihe College News,
woodhart Hall,
Bryn Mawr College.
Wear Editors:

My dog Toni, who has always
shown great interest in your es-
teemed publication, was most upset
after reading your article on Bum-
ble in the last issue. He immedi-
ately sat down and wrote an open
letter which he begged me to type
and forward to you.

Please note that I don’t share
my dog’s opinions. I like Bumble
and respect him. Nevertheless,
since 1 strongly believe in the dem-
ocratic system and in freedom of"
the press, I felt I should not refuse
my dog’s request. However, should
you find his letter unfit for publi-
cation, I would only be most grate-
ful to you. My own work keeps
me busy and I am not looking for-
ward to becoming my dog’s secre-
tary, which well might be the case
if initial success should. encourage
him to become a regular contribu-
tor to this country’s publications.

Sincerely yours,
Frances de Graaff

F. de Graaff, Secretary, Approves Of Bumble;
Toni Finds All Black Dogs Can’t Be Any Good

Dear Editors: ‘

How could you write such non-
sense about Bumble! He is the
most revolting dog I have ever
met, and I’ve met many. He is a
traitor, leaving his owners and
hanging around the men I hate.
He is a coward. When we meet he
doesn’t even dare to fight, we just
walk around each other and leave.
But he curses me most ungentle-
manly when I am in a car and
can’t get at him, Dogs that gre all
black can’t be any good.

Yours truly,

Chapel’s Efforts Achieve
‘Cloakroom Conversion’
i'o the Editor:

The Chapel Committee is very
pleased to announce that its read-
ing room is now ready for use. The
room, located next to the Common
Room in Goodhart, at one time was
shared by -the Chapel Committee
and “Non-Resident. students. The
former used it for its weekly Tues-
day meetings, while it was open to

the latter as a cloak room. How-:

ever, whether or not history pro-
gresses, the Chapel Committee has
seemed to, and its expanding at-
tendance necessitated a move to
larger quarters for meetings, viz.
the Rumpus Room.

The College has since given this
ex-cloak room to the Committee to
be’ used as a place for quiet,
thought, and reading. It has been
supplied with appropriate furnish-
ings and a table upon which may
be found religious books (which
may be signed out) and other lit-
erature of interest, such as the
friends’ Intelligencer and Com-
monweal. From time to time books
are to be added, as when Rabbi
Agus gave a copy of his newest
book on Judaism this fall; and
whenever possible, books written
by those who speak in Chapel will
be placed in the room a week or

two. before the service.
The roo s thus far remained
untitled, alth Asuggestions have

ranged from “Chapel Committee
Meditation Room” to “Room for
Thought!” We hope that evéryone
will feel welcome to make use of
this room, no longer as a cloak
room, but as a place to spend some
quiet moments in a busy day.

Current Events

Hunter Reviews Russia
In Period After
Malenkov

On February 21, Mr. Hunter, of
Bryn Mawr and Haverford, gave a
Current Events talk.on “Russia
After Malenkov.”

Mr. Hunter “set the stage” for

his discussion by listing first the
men most important in the crucial
period between Stalin’s death on
March 5, 19538, and February 10,

1955.

Within this period he took up
three important questions his audi-
ence would presumably want an-
pate taking into consideration
current political speculation. Fi-
nally, Mr. Hunter came to what. he
called some “unwarranted conclu-
sions.”

The six most important men
were Molotov, important in foreign
affairs; Beria, Minister of. Interior
until his recent and controversial
death; Malenkov, recently demot-
ed; Krushchev, the party man who
is said to pull the strings; Bulgan-

in, the new premier, who«may’

prove to be merely a figurehead;
and Zhukov, popular representa-
tive of the army, whose importance
is purely military.

Beria’s Death

During the two-year “testing
process,” Mr. Hunter outlined some
important events. After Stalin’s
death, Malenkov moved into the
two top party posts, but resigned
the key post to Khrushchev after
a week. The next event was Beria’s

death on- June 26.
I 53 there were two outstand-
ing’ speeches, the first by Malen-

kov, outlining the general policy of
the U.S.S.R., the second by



office, there would follow a week of conversing and discuss-
ing in the halls. At the end of the week one whole day could
be set aside for the elections. Instead of the extremely slow
procedure of voting for one or two candidates at a time,
which dampens any enthusiasm that one might possibly have
once had, printed ballots, listing the candidates for all offices,
could be circulated. At a given period at a polling place,
students would mark their ballots. Besides shortening the
election period, it would arouse interest in the election, and
make for a more thoughtful one. oe

We realize that it is easy to offer an entire new system,

claiming that it will solve all the existing evils. This one ob-
viously has its faults. But it does solve the problem of get-
ting first-rate candidates, and of making the election period

'}at Bryn Mawr a pleasure, instead of a pain.

Khrushchev, unusual because he

admitted that the agricultural sit- .

uation was in a worse state than
it had been in 1913; this marked
the beginning of a series of reme-
dial programs.

The first of the three questions
was, “who has political power
now?”, Mr.:Hunter does not see
how we can possibly answer this
definitely, for the party members
themselves cannot.

“What does this mean for Soviet
Foreign Policy?” was the second
topic. Under the new regime, in
spite of the public emphasis on
light industry, there has been a
marked decrease in appropriations
for this, as opposed to an increase
in appropriations for heavy indus-
try. This is obviously mot a reas-
suring shift.

Two Year Test

As to the Soviet domestic policy,
this emphasis on consumer goods
has been part of a two-year exper-
iment to increase labor produc-
tion by improved morale and or-
ganization.

So far, this’has not been partic-
ularly successful, and Mr. Hunter
believes that the policy on this
subject will probably continue to
change every three years. In addi-
tion to this problem, the basic food
supply, while adequate, is not
growing as the government thinks
it should.

Mr Hunter’s main “unwarrant-
ed conclusions” are that, first, the
U.S.S.R. is concentrating on heavy
industry chiefly from fear, and

-| that we should compete with them,
not in that field, but in technolog-

ical aid to underdeveloped coun-
tries.

Mr..Hunter believes that
Khrushchev and the Soviet army
will sustain a rapid growth; this
is a real worry, and raises the se-
rious question of what our rate of
growth should be. In conclusion,
Mr. Hunter feels that we should
definitely be dissatisfied with . our
present rate, and should concen-
trate on increasing it, instead of
| “bravely going sideways,” as we



now are.

Stones From A Glass House

By Harriette Solow, °56

The best reason for the control
of marriage by law is to protect
future generations.

Marriage and having children
are related partly because it is
difficult to raise a child properly,
although it is easy enough to con-
ceive one. 10-15% of the popula-
tion is sterile, however.

With this in mind, the decision
by Judge Gibson Gorman that arti-
ficial insemination, in which a don-

or other than the husband is in-|

volved, is “contrary to good mor-
als” and “adultery on the part of
the wife,” conflicts with common
sense, The Chicago judge’s verdict
last December stigmatizes the le-
gitimacy of between 10,000 to 50,-
000 children conceived by this

method and possibly indirectly cur-
tailed its use.

Two Physical Factors

The advantages behind our very
practical social code answer his de-
cision, .Marriage provides for two
important physical factors, a good
hereditary background and the ab-
sence of venereal diseases. After
birth it provides for a fairly se-
cure economic environment and the
company of two adults who, in ad-
dition to affection, offer the child
a variety of experiences as only
two people can.

Artificial insemination is con-
' sistent with the first two aims. The
ddnor is checked for health and the
absence of undesirable hereditary
characteristics. This is as much as

most people investigate a prospec-
tive husband and probably more
“since it is done without emotional
involvement. In addition, donors
ate matched to husbands with sim-
- jlar characteristics so that the
child looks like its parents.

Ideal Situation

Bringing up a child conceived by
this method is identical to what it
would have been under ordinary
circumstances. If the husband
gives his consent (as suggested by
the Canadian court in 1921) and
the wife is willing to do her share,
it is obvious that the prospective
parents want the child—the ideal
situation.

Actually living with the child is
a vital part of parenthood and is
certainly the more time consuming
and difficult part of it.

By deciding that in the eyes of

society the relationship between).

vid is not the same as that for
»
other fathers, the judge was deny-

one of the basic functions of mar-
riage.

Decision Explained

The only other~possible regsons
for his decision are_1) that/there
are many orphghs born under ‘nor-
mal’ circumstances whose need for
tion should be filled before
ebple who have to make a special
leffdrt to have children of their own
‘do so; Or 2) that the present state
of world conditions is so bad that
it is unfair to bring children into
the world if a special effort is nec-
essary to do so.

Either of these arguments could
be applied to having children in
general. In addition, a judge would











jhave no grounds for using them,

as conscience,
this decision.

As a precaution against this
kind of decision (each state makes
its-own laws on the subject), par-
ents have officially adopted their
children born by artificial insem-
ination and doctors have mixed
semen from the husband and the
donor to insure the absence of
proof of fatherhood.

The only other decision on this
subject was made in 1947 when the
New York State Supreme Court
ruled that a child conceived by ar-
tificial insemination was not ille-
gitimate.
