Interfaith Association Is Established;
Fosters Religious Interest On Campus

At the -Legislature meeting of

Wednesday, December 5, a great
majorit vote established the
Chapel Committee as an autono-
mous organization on campus as
of February 3, 1957. It will be
called the Bryn Mawr College In-
terfaith Association and will be a
full voting member of the college
council ,equal in status to the pres-
ent Big Five.
‘-The Association shall be, as its
constitution declares, “interfaith
and non-denominational in purpose
and membership.” Its purpose is
to foster interest in religion; to
offer opportunities for the individ-
ual student to broaden and deepen
her own religious thinking; to pro-
vide an opportunity for all students
to worship together; to function as
a‘ liaison between the students and
the churches of the community.

The membership of this associ-.
vation will not be ipso facto but

‘shall be open to all ufaergrauuatey
members of the college;” a stu-
dent’s personal decision of mem-
bership or non-membership shall
be expressed by whether or not
she chooses to vote in the annual

The last class is over and vaca-

election of the Interfaith Associ-
ation president.

Sandy Grant, president of Chapel’
Committee, gtseunted to the legis-
lature the reasons for the establish-
ment of the independent Inter-
faith Association, and its proposed
constitution. After discussion of
the idea, the motion was made by
Joan Shigekawa that “Upon rati-
fication of its constitution the or-
ganization known: as the Bryn
Mawr College Interfaith Associa-
tion will be established on campus.”
The motion was seconded and car-
ried. The constitution was then
discussed and ratified.

Sandy asked for independence

for the Chapel Committee in order |

to both “clarify our present posi-
tion by admitting what we already
are—an independent organization”
and to enable the Chapel Commit-
tee to “become more outward look-
ing and to reach more people.” The
-structure._of_the..present_ Chapel |
Committee confirms the first rea-
son; the degree of interest shown
in the ‘Committee justifies the sec-
ond.

The Chapel Committee has been
a committee of Undergrad with a
status not much different from
that of the clubs. It has been a
non-voting member of the Under-
grad council. However, Chapel
has also had a college-elected pres-
ident, something no other non-au-
tonomous organization has, and it
has an independent financial sys-
tem. (It does not share the Com-
mon Treasury, but is supported by
a fund from the Religious Life
Committee of the college trustees.

The Guild Grant
Benefits Faculty

The establishment of the Eugenia
Chase Guild Memorial Faculty Fel-
lowship was announced by Presi-
dent McBride at the faculty meet-
ing this evening. This award will
be given on application to mem-
pers of the faculty going on sab-
batical.

This fellowship will enable young
people on the faculty to continue
their research by supplementing
the half salary they receive while
on sabbatical with an additional
grant. The donors of the grant
want the award to be isued with as
few restrictions as possible. How-
ever, preference will be given to
people in the humanities and to the
younger person.

The fund will be given by Mr.
and Mrs. G. Howard Chase and
Mr. Samuel Guild. Eugenia Guild
was a member of the Class of
1952.

A Scene from “Measure for Measure”



Sir Geoffrey Keynes, bibliogra-
pher, editor and surgeon, delivered
the Class of 1902 lecture last night
in Goodhart Hall. His subject was
the illuminated manuscripts of
William Blake.

Sir Geoffrey devoted the first
part of his discussion to a general
description of Blake as a man an
as an artist. He stressed the “in-
tuitive,” “visionary” and “original”
quality of Blake’s mind which
makes his work difficult to compre-
hend perfectly. Imitation of nature
was not his concern, his manu-
scripts revealing this in their lack
of chiaroscura and representation-
al emphasis. His great ability as
a craftsman provides a firm foun-
dation for the intuitive aura of his
art. It is generally accepted that
Blake derived his_ illuminating
technique in a dream through the
spirit of his dead brother, Robert.
Mr. Keynes went on ‘to describe his
etching. method, his manner of
transferring writing from paper to
the copper plate, and his color
printing whereby text appears in
one color and design in others.

-Sir Geoffrey showed many slides
illustrating various aspects of
Blake’s work and its development
in its many colors. “The marriage
of heaven and Hell” shows the in-
duence of medieval manuscripts.
The title page of the book. of Uriz-
en, finished in 1796, serves as an
example of his color printing.
Here, also are Urizen, the God of

from “Songs. of- experience.” He
brought out the reconciliation of

forgiveness. The tiger, created in
a.material world of reason, prey to
mechanical laws, is eventually tam-
ed and brought to terms with the
lamb.

The remainder of the lecture’ was
given over to a survey of manu-
scripts from the Book of Europe

“Life” Will Feature
Bryn Mawr Story

Bryn Mawr’s forthcoming ap-
pearance in Life is now an estab-
lished fact. The special issue on
“The American Woman,” on sale
on the newsstands on December
20th, will feature an article on the
college. As the editors of the
magazine put it: Bryn Mawr has
been chosen to “exemplify the lib-
eral arts tradition in education for
women. Photographs of students
and faculty illustrate Bryn Mawr’s
emphasis on scholarship and intél-
lectual life.”

The rest of the issue will contain
articles on “the one subject” (how
would Life like it if an issue de-
voted to men was advertised as on
“one subject’) of. the. traditional
role of the American. woman and
her place in a changing world.

Vital Action, Comedy Under Moral Darkness
Well Integrated In “Measure For Measure”

by Seshie Pritzen
(Instructor in English)

The dramatic effectiveness of
Measure for Measure depends in
large part upon the lively presen-
tation of conflicting values in a
dark moral setting. The play
thrives on the vitality of “thirsty
evil” and the intensity of human
encounter with inflexible moral
law. The chill impersonality of
abstract law, together with the un-
healthy forces of moral disintegra-
tion dominate the atmosphere
through most of the play; no real
light can enter until it is ‘almost
clear dawn’ towards the end of

‘Act IV.

The dramatic aii for nat-
ural vitality which preparés ,the
way for the play’s resolution pro-
vides the basic challenge to the
play’s actors. The Bryn Mawr-
Haverford production, under the
direction of Mr. Butman, met this
challenge’ ‘Yast Weekend --with—an.
animated interpretation of the dra-
matic forces at work in the play.

At the head of the list of inter-
pretations~ responsible for. this im-
pression one must cite Patricia
Moran’s sensitive and sustained
creation of Isabella, admirably set
off and supported by Kenneth
Geist’s command of the character
of Angelo.. Impressively flexibel
in the emotional range of her role,
Miss Moran conveyed a unifying .
warmth which softerfed the harsh
edges of militant purity expressed
in Isabella. In contrast, Mr.
Geist’sexpression _ of _ emotional
intensity, both in the rigorous re-
straint of passion ‘and in the dom-
ination of will by passion, was out-
standingly effective.

Excellent support in contrasting
feminine roles was given by Elea-
nor Childs, who eaptured the path-
os and power in Marian’s passion-
ate loyalty to Angelo, and Nina
Hoeffel, whose Juliet created a
lasting impression of emotional in-
tegrity and gentle beauty in her
brief appearances.

Eric Kosgoff-managed well the
sympathetic appeal ‘of Claudio’s
predicament and the dazed horror
of his state. The interpretation
lacked, however, the variety needed
in the role, of strength in his nob-
ler moments and the suggestion of
light'- hearted worldliness which
evokes Lucio’s jaded appreciation.

ank Conroy (Escalus) ° and
Charles Knight (Provost) provided
adequate contrast in honest and
sympathetic enforcement of the
law, managing efficiently the fre
quent demand for unobtrusive pres-
ence on the stage. Mr. Knight’s
interpretation coped effectively, if
unevenly, with the hampering awk-
wardness and incongruity of his
costume.

The dramatic balance of law en-
forcement on the low comedy level
was ably and delightfully handled
through the energetic antics of
Pompey, Elbow, Frost, Mistress
Overdone, and the prison popula-
tion in general. In two brief but
appropriately stylized appearances,
Patricia Ferguson’s Mistress Ov-
erdone stretched the dramatic di-

{mensions of feminine vitality ef-

fectively and permanently.

Roger Hardy (Pompey) carried
much of the comic load on this
level, and if his uncomplicated
commitntent to bawdry (as “a poor
fellow who would live”) seemed a

Interdepartmental Majors

Early in the development of Bryn Mawr there existed a
program called the double major which allowed students to
divide their major ¢oncentration between two fields. When
this plan was abolished, 6n grounds that it did not bring the
student far enough ‘in any one subject, it was replaced by a
major-minor policy which often allows seniors to substitute
one‘comprehensive in an allied subject for one comprehen-
sive inthe major. In the departments of the humanities and

J. Harris Is ‘A Stubborn, Faithful Joan,’

In Anouilh’s Historical Play, ‘The Lafk’

By Catharine Stimpson
Y

The Lark, the Lillian Hellman
adaptation of Jean Anouilh’s play
about Joan of Are which recently
appeared at the Forrest Theater,
was a play both of time and of
humanity. It dealt with history
and a historical figure, but it was
yet the portrayal of a human being



the major subject. :
-. In departments of the sciences and social sciences, how-
ever, rigid lists of requirements and allied requirements hin
_der..any-student-who-hopes.to_relate_particular. aspects of a
problem which cuts across departmental lines. Modern trends
in business and education focus on the integration of related
fields such as psychology - sociology, economics - political
science, bio-chemistry and bio-physics; yet our curriculum
does not admit the union of any two of these studies to be of
sufficient importance for major concentration. 2
-.. For example a student interested in the sociological as-
pects of sociology must choose between a major in psychol-
ogy. or sociology both of which include requirements which
do not necessarily contribute to her particular interest. The
experimental psychology course and the ethnology course in
sociology are important branches for a major limited to the
department, but a major-minor is too occupied’ with filling
such requirements in one field to take all the courses she
might need in any other field.
A survey of the catalogues of other women’s colleges
reveals that Barnard, Mt. Holyoke, Smith and Radcliffe offer
workable interdepartmental majors in addition to the type
of interdepartmental courses which are offered at Bryn
Mawr. Smith, Barnard and Pembroke have programs in
American Civilization based on American history courses
but including art, literature, economics, religion and political
science for an integral picture of the development of Amer-
- dean thought. .
: \ (Barnard also lists three interdepartmental combinations
(with political science: economics, history or sociology. All
of these require certain basic courses in each field but remove
from the compulsory list courses which are only ramifica-
tions of the strict major. ”
he policy of Mt. Holyoke is stated thus in the college
catalogue:
- . “The interdepartmental major allows a properly quali-
fied student whose major area of interest crosses department-
al lines to plan a closely integrated major program incorpor-
ating work done in two or more departments . . . There must
be a definite plan and reason for the combination made.”
The adaptation of a liberal interdepartmental program
to the system of comprehensive enks involved would be a




matter of least concern to the students inyolved; either four
examinations divided between the two-fields or three with
the third to be an integrating study would surely be well re-
ceived in view of the greater opportunities thus opened. But
in a college whose policy calls for concentrated specialization,
where “both breadth and depth of knowledge and under-



imacine ions arid in the reali-
ties of men.

A fragment of the Middle Ages,
Joan cannot be visualized apart

from her time, but unlike Shaw

in his St. Joan, Missy Hellman seem-|"

ingly chose to slight the historical
and intellectual forces which surg-
ed about Joan. She instead concen-
trated upon Joan’s humanity, upon
the creation of “a simple girl in-
spiring simple people to die for
simple ideals.” Instead‘‘of human-
ity being seen in relationship to
time, it almost became the time,
and thus the play perhaps lost sub-
stance and universality. °

The Lark became a play of emo-
tion —both acts were carved or
moving emotion — but it was not
tragic. Lacking the dimensions of
tragedy, its central figure herself
was not tragic. For Joan soared
with one’s imagination in her
transcendent intensity; a lark
whose martyrdom turned her into
a “giant bird,” she sang “a wild
and crazy song of joy” as she rode
into battle. She personified what
man could be, not the tragic flaw
which prevents man from being
what he might. If there was‘trag-
edy, it existed in that Joan and her
opponents, later including the Dau-
phin, could all be right within their
own terms, and yet Joan could be
destroyed.

Sometimes poetic, the work of a
master craftsman, I thought that
The Lark unfortunately contained
too much of the theatrical to be
great. Deprived of the devices of
the theater and of its star, it would
undergo an almost irreparable loss.

The minor characters in the
Philadelphia production were nev-
er memorable, although James
O’Rear created a humorous, some-
times Shavian, Dauphin. The play

ful performances of Joan’s family

Two elements gave The Lark its
stature and excitement—the crea-
tion of Joan by Julie Harris- and
the staging, which was an unusual

‘example of the molding of the

physical contours of a stage to the
emotional contours of a play.
Although her performance was
rather shrill at the beginning, Miss
Harris burned with all of Joan’s
stubbornness, independence, good

|sense, and faith. She was peasant,

exalted warrior, and unspeakably
weary girl. “In her portrayal was

achievement of value.

Students Ponder .
Security Problem -

by Barbara Coleman
(Barnard College)

Students from 64 colleges and
universities (with Jane White and
Charlotte Graves representing Bryn
Mawr) worked out foreign policy
formulation for this country dur-
ing the recent Student Conference
on United States Affairs, sponsor-
ed by West Point.

The participants at the Military
Academy’s eighth conference of

this nature studied the national se-
curity policy of the U.S. through
twenty-member panels, each re-
sponsible for examining specific
areas of the world and the United
States’ relationship towards them.

The idea which might be said to
have dominated the conference and
which was suggested by such
speakers as Mr. Henry A. Kissin-
ger, Rockefeller Brothers Fund,
and Dr. John C. Campbell, Council
on Foreign~ Relations, was that
there was no simple, quick and
easy solutions to the problems the
United Statse faces in foreign pol-
icy.

The student reports reflected this
idea through their practical rath-
er than utopian approach to world
situations. They recommended
working throug organizations
such as the United Nations and
the North Atlantic Treaty Organ-
ization rather than looking to the
development of more controversial
systems such‘as a European Union.

The role of the U. S. as the lead-
er of the free world was particu-
larly stressed by the panels. The
consensus of the final réports was
that there was a definite need for

nited States in world
affairs. One of the two Atlantic
Community panels particularly
took a side swing at the lack of
coordination they believed to exist
in the State Department with its
resultant lack of “consistency and
continuity in American expression
of foreign policy.” =~ ae
While the conference delegates
agreed that the U. S. must exert
its power as the directing force of
the free world, they also stressed
the right of each nation to unilater-
al action if necessary “to defend
her own national interests and the
Cwase gf international peace.” In

Letter To The Editor

Athenian College
Asks For Our Aid

To the President’ of the Student
Council:

We request your courtesy in
publishing this letter in, your Stu-
denl Council ee because
we think that our _fellow-students
in America ‘should be acquainted
with the facts in an international
problem which we consider of vital
importance not only to Greece but
to” every freedom-loving” people—
the Cyprus question.

The fact that Cyprus was, has
been, and still is a purely Greek

island, with a population that, de-
spite subjugation to other states,
is still four-fifths Greek, is an un-
deniable historical fact. We believe
that it is equally evident that the

human rights of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness are pre-
rogatives- of all peoples, and that
America, a country that herself
has bitterly fought for her liberty
and independence, will regard every
rightful struggle of a people for
freedom and for the right to de-
cide about its future as natural
and noble.

The people of Cyprus, who. for
years have been vainly trying. by
peaceful means to make their voice
heard, are now engaged in a strug-
gle for their inalienable right to
determine their own future. Their
foreign rulers are trying to sup-
press their voice by cruel force and
ruthless violence. .We understand,
while strongly disapproving, their
concern to keep under their control
a people whom they “acquired” in
1878, in a bargain with another
country. But what we,cannot un-
derstand is why the American peo-
ple are turning a deaf ear to the
desperate pleas of this tormented
island, and how your democratic
country can view in apathy such
flagrant violations of the human
rights as the abduction and exile,
without. charge or trial, of Arch-
bishop Makarios, the religious and
national head of the people of the
island; the infliction of wholesale
punishment on the _ population,
without discrimination between the
guilty and the innocent; the medie-
val punishments, such as the flog-
ging of young children; the execu-
tion of young men whose only
crime has been their love for lib-
erty and independence.

We Appeal...

We appeal to you because we
believe firmly that your own val-
liant fight for independence has
not been in vain; that the princi-
ples established by the French Rev-
olution, and those promulgated by
the Charter of Human Rights, and
ideals of enlightened people should
not and cannot be overruled by
political intrigue and material in-
terests.

“ We ask for your support in this
matter as the Cyprus question
comes up for discussion before the
General Assembly of the United
Nations. If you believe that all
men are born equal and free to
choose thier own way of life, if
you value liberty and the enjoy-
ment of human rights on the part
of individuals and nations, we ask

your own circle to make the facts
of the case known and to impress _
your friends with the responsibil-
ity resting upon all democratic
nations to seek to restore justiee.
We ‘ask you to remember that your
own country has had to go through
a similar period of struggle for its
independence, and that ‘we, the
young people of Greece, like those
of every country, are ardently de-
voted to the high ideals of justice
and liberty.

as perhaps representing Miss
Moore in her most condensed and

more successful of the offerings,
and succeeds in communicating a
powerful, restrained urgency which
several of the others fail to do. It

Leningrad

The next city I visited was Len-
ingrad —via aeroplane. The Rus-
sian passenger aeroplanes are
much smaller and not quite as mod-
ern as our American aeroplanes.
There were also no safety belts for
the passengers. Due to stormy
weather our plane was forced to
land at an airfield somewhere be-
tween Kiev and Leningrad. While
the passengers left the plane and
waited in the large building near-
by, a young fellow-passenger ap-
proached me and told me that we
would have to wait for several
hours before the plane would fly
again. I accepted his invitation for
tea and we conversed with each
other rather haltingly as every oth-
er word needed to be looked up in
the dictionary I had with me. The
young man is a Russian movie ac-
tor. (I found out later that he is
one of the most popular young film
stars in Russia.) His monthly sal-
ary was 1000 rubles (about the
average salary for workers in Rus-
‘ sia). He was very interested in
knowing the relationship between
the average salary of workers in
America and the price of their
clothing. In Russia, he must pay
250 R for a pair of shoes and over
500 R for a suit of clothing. Thus
his wardrobe was rather limited—

shirts-and one pair of shoes—quite
different from the wardrobe of
American movie actors. He then
proceeded to talk about the second
- World War, describing to me the
great destruction of cities and how
much the Russian people had suf-
fered. Because of this he said, we
(the Russian people) must use all
our energy to build up our country
again before we can enjoy luxuries.
However, he did not know when
this job of reconstruction would be
over. He then wrote me a short
_ note which I later had translated,
telling me how deeply sorry he was

Stones From A Glass House

By Eleanor Winsor

The era of Leonardo da Vinci,
the Renaissance universal man who
knew all, did all, is past and yet
the ghost of the legend of versatil-
ity crops up persistently in our
own age. We see its equal on col-
lege application blanks, in “the girl
down the hall who is frightfully
efficient,” and in the “well-round-
ed” people for whom we vote in
campus elections.

This recognition of the impor-
tance of versatility is one argu-
ment in favor of our perspective;
still, for most of us this is a col-
legiate ideal and not a_ personal
goal. Or if we have practical and
social perspective, can we match
it with academic breadth? Indica-
tions of an educational trend which
may well be a forecast for our-
selves are apparent in a recent ar-
ticle by Benjamin Fine in the Edu-
cation section of the New York
Times (Dec. 2) coneerning a sur-
vey of 13,586 college graduates em-
ployed by General Electric.

The group divided between engi-
neers and non-engineers was
accordingly split in the evalua-
tion of the relative worth of
college courses. First place in each

group went to practical means of’

expression, the scientists favoring
math, the non-engineers English
composition.

Of least professional value were
the “breadth and depth” courses—
history and foreign language. Phi-
losophy was-not-mentioned, but the
most useful of the social studies
was economics. Most helpful in
the development of leisure time
and non-business thinking was, in
all cases, English literature. An
ideal education would include arts,
technical studies and _ business
training, with additional partici-
pation in extra-curricular activi-
ties.

‘Here is a cry for an extreme
well roundedness accompanied by
an overtone of educational smug-
ness. The graduates felt they had
chosen their courses well and tak-
en the subjects which were to be
of greatest profit in their after-
college life. Surely this is a healthy
attitude, but on the basis of a cer-
tain smugness also found among
the inhabitants of these Neo-Gothic
towers one might debate, not the
practical value of certain basic
courses but the value of exclusive
educational practicality.

After the hurdle of philosophy
101 is passed there is perhaps a

tendency to classify mental proc-
esses according to major subjects,
but is there not here also an over-
lapping of respect, a recognition
that Darwin affected both biology
and literature? Is there not a
wistfulness among some English
majors who wish they could be as
definite as mathematicians, chem-
istry majors who would like to
“sling bull”? Do we not realize

that all knowledge is inter-rétated-}

Are there not. amid the complain-
ers about the orals some people
who read French and German lit-
erature as well as English? Still
no one will quite admit that she
reads five languages, writes epic
poetry and symphonies and does
equations to rest her mind.

Our own answers and assessment
of. education must wait twenty
years or so until we can fairly say
that. our best course was the eco-
nomics that made our first million,
the psych. that helped bring up
our children. Whether the major

Two Saudi Arabian

The Arab point of view on the
recent crisis in the Middle East
was presented at Current Events
on December 10, by Mr. Issam Ka-
bani and Mr. Hassan Schawaf, two
Saudi Arabian students at Swarth-
more.

Mr. Kabani first gave the back-




of 1917 Arabs that their
land would be free and united af-
ter the defeat of the Turks. The
British promise to the Jews of a.
homeland in Palestine, which was
then populated almost entirely by
Arabs, caused them to break their
promise to the Arabs after the Ot-
toman defeat, when Palestine came
under British mandate in 1917. For
the next 30 years Palestine became
a “guest house” for over 600,000
Jews, without the consent of the
Arabs in Palestine.

In 1947 Great Britain was in a
dilemma; both Arabs and Zionists
wanted to “free” their land. The
problem was turned over to the
U.N., which partitioned Palestine,
giving 60 per cent.of it to the Jew-
ish, state. ;

Arab Point Of View On Middle East



The Arab sees the present crisis

Students Present

as the result of an unsuccessful
effort on the part of the British
to revive declining imperialism.
Although Great Britain and France
give as reasons for their attack,
the policing of Arab and Israeli
armies, the internationalization of
the Suez Canal, and protection of
Egypt from Soviet domination,
there is evidence of a preestablish-
ed plan for the attack. Mr. Ka-
bani places all hope for future
peace and security in the U.N., 65
nations of which have opposed the
act of aggression.

Mr. Schawaf spoke of the issue
of dictatorship and democracy in
Egypt. He opposed the references
to Nasser as a “little Hitler.” Al-
though Nasser is technically a dic-
tator, he has, according to Mr.
Schawaf, complete power in Egypt
by the consent of the large major-
ity of the Egyptian population.
Democracy in Egypt now would be
meaningless, as over 75 per cent
of the population is illiterate and
the Egyptian “soil” is not ready
for the “tree of democracy.” Mr.
Schawaf believes, however, that
Western-type democracy will come
to Egypt when she is ready for it,
and that even Nasser considers his:
position as only temporary.

Confusion Reigns
At B. M. C. Meeting

By Debby Ham

Twenty-five people dribbled into
the uncommon quadrilateral cham-
ber and dispersed themselves all
over the floor. A twenty-sixth
peered hesitantly in at the door,
and was nabbed by the chairman

who ejaculated in triumph, “aha,.

our quorum!”

“To get on with the business,”
said the representative from the
inter-spatial - non - partial commit-
tee, “I will first explain what our
proposition is. You see for years
we have been autonomously func-
tioning in practice, and now we
want to function autonomously in
theory.”

“None of the committees from
the subtrophesphere function at
all,” mumbled a dissenter into the
complexities of her argyle ‘socks.

“T move that upon consideration
of the preamble we unconditionally
accept the proposition.”

“T move we refer the issue to
the entire troposoraphic union.”

“Point of order, point of order,
only one motion on the floor at a
time,” says a stickler for propriety.

“Maybe we could table it,” says
the chair. ‘ ‘

“IT was only making ‘a sugges-
tion,” said the second motion mak-
er heatedly. She is pacified and
the .rumpus-subsides into a lengthy
discussion. of the pros and cons.
Everyone is being very prolix in-
deed, until a bright young delegate
moves the previous question and
disconcerts everyone so that they
are startled into a, vote. Everyone
says “aye” and the motley band
returns to their respective homes.

Thus we see the orderly process-
es of Parliamentary Procedure
working again for the good of the
State.

,of jaded sophistication (otherwise
amply provided for by Jim Moody
and Jamie Johnston as Two Like
Gentlemen), but the pace of his
acting had a fortunate effect on
the movement of the action as a
whole.

Of the many thankless parts in
the play, the most taxing and un-
satisfactory is that of the Duke. ,

Although he is present on the stag¢
most. of the play, the lack-lustre
machinery of plot contrivance that
is neither downright villainous nor
lightly. mischievous allows him
limited participation in .the inter-
play of dramatic forces. Shakes-
peare’s use of the Duke’s role ne-
cessitates obscurity in presenta-
tion of character. William Tyson
had understandable difficulty in
keeping consistent his two inter-
dependent roles, and in bringing
life. to <‘Shakespeare’s language.
But he managed to distinguish ef-
fectively between the dramatic
qualities of power appropriate to
cowl and coronet.

The achievement of personal em-
phasis in individual roles, and of
lively contrast in the ‘production
as,a whole was laudable. , The de-
gree of success with which Shakes-
peare’s characters came to life de-
serves enthusiastic praise, One
missed, however, the effect of a
central life in the total perform-
ance. It was seldom, possible to
see beyond thé limited-scope--of
single roles or single conflicts, or
to perceive a unified effect of the
whole through single scenes or
characters, Part of this difficulty
is inherent in the play itself, but
Srakespeare provides for integra-
tion and balance of dramatic cli-
max and comic release in -the ac-
tion, which was only partially re-‘
vealed in performance.

Stage sets were excellent both in
creation of atmosphere and in un-_
They provided
sufficient color without suggesting
warmth and lightness where the
tone of the play does. not allow
for it.

Costumes were generally well-
chosen and dramatically function-
al, although the gear of: Lucio-and
the Provost were notable excep-
tions. One must commend espec-
ially the,-excellent adaptation of
the feminjne’ costumes to actress
and role. .

Security Search
Is Liberty Peril

Goodhart Dec. 5: Walter Gell-
horn, Professor of Law at Columbia
University, contended in the Al-
liance lecture, “The Hazardous
Quest for Public Security,” that the
greatest peril is the‘ gradual de-
struction of liberty. It is the ag-
gregate of the isolated government-
al actions that is imposing and dan-
gerous and marks the “loosening
of the fiber of our society.”

According to Mr. Gellhorn, “this
creeping absurdity or insanity”:
against subversion is reflected on
both the local and national levels,
Ihe five Federal Security Programs
now operating affect between sev-
en and eight million’ Americans,
while the local progams affect one
out of five. The New York Bar
Association, after an exhaustive
study of the question of national
security, suggested that there be a

"reduction in scope of the progams.
It remarked on the inutility of
some of the measures applied to
persons who are in insensitive po-
sitions.

Among the federal measures is
the stringently regulated with-
holding of government information
without due regard to the nature
of the data, i.e., whether it be top
secret military intelligence, or sim-
ply general information that should
be available to the public. Also
cited were the restraints on travel
which stifle international inter-
change. It is too difficult to enter
this country, as the shunnirig of
the-U.S. by International Scientific
Congress has shown, and similarly
difficult to leave. According to
Mr, Gellhorn, prohibition of pass-
port issuance is not rare. Another
governmental measure is the loy-
alty clearance for those who seek
positions with international organ-
izations that have no national af-
filiations. The process is a lengthy
one and often results in quicker
job appointments for non-Ameri-
cans.

Mr. Gellhorn asserted that we
do have cause for hope and encour-
agement. Improvements have been
effected through the efforts of act-
ive thinking people.
