‘Mr. - Alexander C. Soper; Professor of History of Art was named Sun-
day as one of ten American university professors who have been awarded
prizes of $10,000 each by the American Council of Learned Societies,

istic scholarship, were announced Sunday by Dr.

These awards entail no restric-
tions or obligations and are tax-
exempt. Each year since 1958 the
ACLS has chosen to honor ten
humanistic scholars who have made
significant contributions to knowl-
edge and the pursuit of knowledge;} 4
since awards cannot be applied for,
the Council works with a list of
candidates suggested by ‘members
of the scholarly community ‘in the
humanities and social sciences. In
the long process of reducing the
list from, hundreds of names to
_just ten, more than sixty consult-
ants'in all fields of humanistic
learning were called upon. The cur-
rent awards, like those in earlier
years, were made possible by a
grant to the Council from the Ford
Foundation. The fifty scholars who
have been honored during the past
five years are associated with
twenty colleges, and: universities.
Skill Teaching
Compared with earlier recipients
of ACLS prizes, this years group
is remarkable for its youth: the
average age is-just under 68,
whereas the average last year had
been 66. All of the ten are-still
actively teaching, at seven colleges
and universities in the United
States. Three of this year’s ‘reci-
pients teach at Yale University,| .
two at Harvard and two at Colum-
bia.
Bryn- Mawr has had two nome
winners of this award since 1958:

College Plans
A Bryn Mawr sponsored institute
for summer study in France will
hold its first session this year. The
intensive program, designed for un-
dergraduates who plan to enter
careers requiring a knowledge of
French language and culture, will
be under the direction of Mr. Michel
Guggenheim, Associate Professor of
+French-at the College:
The program will take place’ in:

Fluency Required
The Institute, known as the Insti-
tute d’Etudes Francaises d’Avignon,
consists of an intensive six week
program for students already
fluent in French, built around cour-
ses in the language, literature, his-
tory, government and art of the
country. The classes will be con-

United States and France and will
Panelists Discuss
Questionable Goal
Of Defense Plans
by Helen Levering and
Jody Greene
Friday night, January 12, the
American Friends Service Commit-
tee sponsored a panel discussion _on
security through civil defense. The
question was considered from four
different viewpoints. Arthur Was-
kow, author, of Civil Defense —
Both Red and Dead, feels that fall-
out shelters make thermonuclear
‘war more~imminent-as they are a
Jart of a program the Pentagon ad-
in writing, speaking and reading
the language, as’ well as more ad-
vanced studies centering on speci-
fic areas in literature. The pro-
gram will also feature excursions
_|to sites of historical and cultural
interest in the vicinity of Avignon.
A ‘grant of $20,000 from- the
Carnegie Corporation of New York
the Institute. The cost of tuition,
room and board foreach student
will be $615.
The program’s Advisory Cominit-
cludes Stephen Freeman of Mid-
dlebury College, Georges May of
Yale—University, Dorothy” Nepper
Marshall of Bryn Mawr College,
vocates on the counter-force theory
vf deterrence. Counter-force theor-
ists hypothesize a nuclear war
which could be fought and won -by
the bombing of military establish-
ments alone. Waskow, feeling that
nuclear war will necessarily be to-
tal, condemns this theory and
program.
The next speaker, Teroine Frank,
leading psychiatrist from Johns
Hopkins University, opposed civil
defense on psychological grounds.
By accepting civil defense, Ameri-
cans are accustoming themselves
\to the possibility of nuclear war.
And because they thus become less
anxious to work for ' preventive
measures, the possibility. of -war is
increaseff. If the United States
builds a massive civil defense sys-

Brooks Robards, a Sophomore, and.
Susan Weisberg, a Freshman.
Brooks will be in charge of ex-
changes, a way of keeping in touch
with other schools.
Idea Men
Following the Madison Avenue
tradition of having idea men
around the Board, The News has
elected four contributing— editors.
This was an innovation of the last
administration; The four upper-
classmen are Pixie Schieffelin, ’62,
Pauline Dubkin, Juli Kasius, and
Miranda Marvin, ’63.
When asked about future plans,
Ginny stated, “We hope to main-
tain the humorous touch that has
characterized The News of the past
year. Our major aim in the next
few months will be to broaden the
‘|ted to civil defense programs on
tem, the Russians could easily mis-
int t this as preparation for
an aggresive action and consequen-
tly feel it necessary (for their de-
fense) to take offensive action.
Wilmer Young, of the Peace Ac-
tion Center in Washington, objec-
moral grounds. By participating in
civil defense, citizens give the mili-
tary their tacit consent to go ahead
and kill the enemy while they save
themselves. Building fall-out. shel-
ters is a cowardly evasion of the
citizen’s responsibility to create the
kind of world in which fall-out
shelters would not be necessary.
Actions should” be taken because
they are right, not because they
are expedient.

A common ‘sight in loci where
post-adolescent females gather is
the. so-called “game”. of bridge,
clearly a unconscious reinactment,
as ave most“games”, of archetypal
childhood experiences, long repress-
ed; here, the reinactment is of the
universal family situation, the two
partners representing the mother

the favored sibling, and the dum-
my, the child who thinks himself
lacking in favor with the parents
and inferior to the other sibling.

Instead of contemplating the metamorphosis of dormi-
tory basements, instead of patronizmg Hammacher Schiem-
mer and purchasing survival kits at the local Acme, instead
ot debating the intricacies of megatons and an 8x8x8 cinder
block universe, the News feels that the students who with
us disapprove of shelters should attempt to make known
jointly, publigly: ang forcefully their sentiments.
Fallen ‘Flora
Wandering the campus in the disguise of anonymous
grass roots tne otner day, we noted a great deat of uprooting
—not of fellow students, fortunately, but of local trees. Asiae
from numerous branches, the wooasmen seemed to.have cen-
tered their attack on aging landmarks, which they had been
unable to save.
We want to make it clear that we approve of this prun-
ing of our skyline. The elimination of excess branches wiu'
no doubt prove a boon to bird-watchers by day, astrologists
by night and anti-aircraft gunners at any time. We also
observe the beneticial effects of the log-roiling contests which
are a bi-product of the axe’s work, not to mention the possi-
bility of College Theatre’s. using the amputated branches. a»
antlers in some future production of ’T'was the Night Before
Christmas.
We do, however, suspect ulterior motives to this whole-
sale removal of woodland. scenery. The administration, al-
though it has tried not to show it, has been secretly troubled
by the high incidence of tree-swinging in recent weeks.
With the approach of Exam Week the percentage of tree-
swingers among the student body is bound to. increase. We
have also noted the administration’s growing hostility to
chipmunks. The chipmunk menace has been much discussed
of late, we feel certain, behind closed doors. We believe that
the tree cutting program is a master stroke aimed at both
tree-swingers and chipmunks in the college’s all-out effort.to
obviate the dangers they represent.
We have never taken a stand on either tree-swingers or
chipmunks. We shall not do so now.

hood she had -had strong libidinal
urges against her sibling, and was
projecting these
‘the declarer while she herself was
enacting the role of parent as the
“leader”, and in this context had
a particularly strong compulsion
always to lead“to the first trick.
Another interesting feature of
this “game” is that it provides full
expression.for one of the most pre-
valent neuroses of our time, the
“going to game” neurosis. “Going
to game” is, clearly, an expression
is’ significant that the required
number of points is 36, breaking
down into 13 per hand, that is, the
mystic number of the Trinity, with.
10, the sacred number of the an-
cient Mgruztu myths, added.
Anna Z., which first came to my
attention at the International-Con-
gress for the Study of Myth and
Dream in the Going-to-Game Neu-
rosis, at Vienna in 1956. Anna Z.
had been playing bridge for years
playing opposite her fiancé and
‘went. from. his one-club bid to five
clubs, with no clubs at all in her
hand. This dream is clearly an
expression of, her anxietous feel-
ings toward her impending mar-
riage and
to%ards compulsive over-compensa-
tion. - So
In summation, then, we can con-
clude that the “game” of bridge is,
for the post-adolescent female, as
are-many so-called “games”, a de-
vice for the projection of repressed
childhood hostility feelings. My
colleague, Dr. C..Sigmund-Goren,
has remarked! that it is,often pro-
fitable during analysis. for. the
“analysand” to re-enact particu-
larly striking hands with the ana-
lyst. This has produced an inter-
esting syndrome of its own, on
which I hope to soon publish ‘an

analytical Journal entitled “Honey-

Senior Questions. Policy,
Two-Ticket Graduation —
To the Editor:
Most students at BMC look for-
ward to the day when they will
graduate. But how many (even
seniors) know that at their gradua=
tion, they ‘will be allowed to have,
at most, only two guests? It is
a plausible argument_that Good-
hart is small that it won’t even
really hold two--guests— for--each
member of this year’s graduation
class. But it seems to me that this
more concern, and moré~investiga-
tions into other possibilities for
a place to hold commencement.
What about students who are mar-
ried and who also happen to have
two. parents? What about -those
who have brothers and sisters to
whom they are close, or who want
to share ‘graduation with someone
special? What about future clas-
allowed only one guest per grad-
uate? I think that. students who
‘have worked hard for this moment
should be able to share it with
more than two people, most prob-
ably parénts, and that they should
be quite\ upset’ about this matter
of concern to almost all. a

we question the author’s mention

A further contradiction lies in her
implicit condemnaton iof such men
as Carnegie and Ford: men whose
contributions are ungratefully and
unquestioningly used by men who
lack the talent to do the same. She
finds it easy to apologize for
America’s advances; after all, they
were the products of our intelli-

‘Wednesday; January: 17, 1962
~ The’ following letter appeared as an advertisement in the
PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, December 15; 1961.
It also carried signatures of faculty members at other colleges and
universities in the. Greater Philadelphia area.
An Open
President
We are deeply disturbed by current developments in the
field of civil defense. It appears
of our peopie is being channeied
reasons; and that continuation of this trend may be extremely dan-
gerous to the nation and to civilization itself.
The Effect of Large Nuclear
; Weapons
WE are now in tne era of 50 to 100
megaton. bomps. Accoraing to tne AcC
estimate ot Uctober 1, a IUU megaton
bomp, expioded in-tne air, would nave
an \to-miie raqgius of total destruction: ot
ordinary structures, and woud ignite
most wooaen bundings in a radius ot
6U miles. _Wwitnin tnat area,.aarge pro-
portion of tne popuiation would be sut-
tocated by jack of oxygen or poisoned
by carbon monoxide. basement. sneiters
under burning buudings would be use-
less, as. wouvid biast sneiters. witnout a°
reserve air supply. :
Admittediy, it may be, possible to de-
sign and construct a civil Getense capa-
biuty to permit national survival atter a
massive attack with such Weapons, = It:
wouid entail, at tne very least, perma-
nent, deep underground. _piacement — of
enougn of our economy and conmunica-
tion, anda sutticient decentraization. of
pubic activities, to enabie operation of
vital services immediately atter ' attack.
It also wouid require.enough public biast
everyone on a tew minutes notice, even
in. tne cities. The cost of such a pro-
gram wou.d be comparabie to tne: entire
capital investment ot tne country—severai
tnousand doulars, per person—and wouid
consume a substantial fraction . of our
gross national product for numbers of
years. There is a serious question as to
whetner tne Soviet Union wouid stand
idiy’ by while we try to make ourseives
really bomb-proof. In _ addition, we be-
lieve tnat tne prospect of living indetins
itey in an underground fortress woud
not appeal to tne nation.
The nation has not yet faced’ up to the.
real dangers of tnermonuciear war. We
believe tnat- most of our peopie do not
understand what the. worid -wovid. look
+ike--tne day- after -an--attack--or—what
problems would be involved in recover-
ing from a war which. killed, injured,
poisoned; and destroyed on such a large
scaie. Many of those who do understand
have. found: the prospect too awful and
have therefore, put tne idea from their
minds.
-Program
We are aware that our government: is
to deal realistically with the
probiem of war or peace. Unfortunate-
ly, however, government encouragement
of shelter construction, as interpreted by
the popular press, some local CD officials,
and wouid-be shelter manufacturers, has
led to a cruel deception of the people
with respect to the protection which
would be afforded, especially by indi-
vidual fallout shelters. These shelters
might be adequate in a ‘‘minor’’ atomic
war, ascould have started in-1950, Such
a conservative program has little rele-
vance to the type of large scale attack
which might be anticipated in 1962.
It is undoubtedly true that such shel-
ters in areas remote from blast centers
might temporarily keep alive a certain
number of people. However, the con-
tinued survival of those, and of civiliza-
tion as we know it, also requires the pro-
tection of the physical basis of society—
the means-of-production and of distribu-
tion, government and communication, etc.
A program for doing that is very differ-
Pspace is too short to discuss tnese at
‘ess of the cause of the war, limitation
Letter To
Kennedy
to us that the prodigious energy
into wrong directions for wrong
ent from anything now being considered.
The principal danger of the present
program is tne false sense of security en-
genaered. It is much like a quack cure
tor cancer. If we are,lucky, tne “‘treat-
ment’ may not kill us, but in the mean-
time, while the cancer is growing and
becoming incurable, we fail to go to a
feputabie pnysician for sensibie treat-
ment. By buying a shelter program*
wnich does not sheiter, and thereby be-.
lieving tnat‘ we can survive a tnermonu-
clear war, we are increasing tne proba-
bility of war. This probability increases
potn. because we. may be more willing to
“go-to the brink“ if -we think -survviat
is possibie and because we are less like-.
ly to devise and take any. of the con-
structive steps which may. ease tension
and secure the peace. ~
Arguments in Favor of
Civit Detense
We recognize that many sincere people
support tne present civil detense program
tor what they believe are’ good reasons.
.engtn, but we have examined-them: at
length and believe they are wrong.
ror example, it is said that civil de-
fense is a deterrent. If it really protected
us to the extent necessary for surviva:
it might be; but at present its ony deter-
rent vaive lies in the.demonstration to
tne Soviet Union that we expect to- have
a war. Even on tnis point,: it mignt in
tact be argued that tnis is more likely
to precipitate a pre-emptive attack. than
to deter one.
It is sometimes said that we should
protect ourselves against a limited nu-
cear war, in which, perhaps, only a few
cities on each side wouid be destroyed.
Such a war is highly Unlikely. Regard-
wouid call for a degree of restraint_.and
mutual agreement between the -parties
which, if obtainabie
There is also the “anything is better
than nothing” argument. Of course, every
government has responsibilities of trying
to protect its citizens, even if. only a
relatively few of them -are likely to. sur-
vive. a disaster. The danger is that the
individualman_for whom a_ shelter is
made. at his home or place of work is
being made to feel significantly safer.
For any given person this is almost cer-
tain to prove false.
The Moral Issues
We have not touched on the moral
issues of the shelter..program—the ques-
tion of whether it is right to plan on
“losing” our cities and the ‘people in
them when decisions of war: and peace
are made, the question of defending pri-
vate shelters against intruders, the ques-
tion of abandoning millions of injured
-outside while the-rest.of us hide Under-
‘ground, the question of shelters for the
wealthy vs. shelters ‘for the poor or the
apartment dweller, the question of the
long-term effect of a shelter psychology
on the values of a democratic society—
these are important issues as well. We
have dealt here primarily with the more
pressing questions of the adequacy of
civil defense and its effect on war and
peace. A moral code does not exist in
a vacuum. If we lose this structure of
society we cannot hope to keep our
moral values.
) Investigates Spirit
_ program for peace with freedom. . This is bound to be at least as
To sum up, we believe that although the present civil defense pro-
gram, and in particular the construction of fallout shelters, might
save a small fraction of the population in a nuclear war, this poten-
tial gain is more than offset by the fact that such activity prepares
the people for the acceptance of thermonuclear war as an instru-
ment of ‘national policy. We believe that this acceptance would
substantially increase the likelihood of war—a war which would
be permanently fatal to our democratic society, even if not to all
of us. The American people are capable of great effort and sacri-
fice, We believe this effort should be directed toward a positive
difficult and time consuming as any preparation for war, and will
require the highest type of leadership for success. At the present
time the nation is not ready to\consider such a program, largely
because of widespread lack of understanding.of.justhow catas-
“trophic war today would be. We call upon.you, Mr. President,
to make this plain and then lead the nation forward on a race

Basketball Scorer
Of Doom-Doomers
When the impoverished Bryn
Mawr student. wends her way to
the Bureau of Recommendations
in Taylor basement, hoping to find
a ‘high-paying baby-sit for that
same old Saturday night, she prob-
ably-—little realizes the wealth and
variety~-of other jobs the Bureau
has to offer. I w&s such a student
this fall until ‘my horizons were
suddenly broadened when, on my
third unsuccessful trip into the of-
fice, Mis: Blake asked if I knew
anything about basketball. I learn-
ed a long time ago not to be sur-
prised whe asked this question by
basketball coaches aspiring to lure
all 5° feet 10" inches “of me onto
their team, but I was admittedly a
iittie curious .about Mrs. Blakes’
interest in my prowess. I confessed
to a knowledge of the rudiments.
and was then informed of an open-
ing for a scorer of games in the
Philadelphia Nurses Basketball
League. I don’t know whether I
was more’ intrigued by the sound
of the job or the $3.50 a game
salary, but, in any case, I affixed
my name to the job card and in
the early weeks of November be-
came an official scorer for the first
time in my life. :
The job bears no resemblance to
babysitting unless’ it’s in the rac-
ket which emanates from every
corner of the gym. From time to
time these yells become orderly
under the competent direction of
cheer leaders. It, is at such times
that one team declares its inten-
tions towards the other, for in-
stance, “Doom doom doom doom
Semester Courses —
Offer Opportunities
by Sue Weisberg
Do you: have that midyear slump?
Are you tired, unstimulated, or do
you need mental exertion?” Why not
forego your bridge game and try
taking a “b” course? Even if you
don’t get to the point of signing up
for the course, the activity of trying
to find your way through the maze
of 804a’s, 201c*, and interdepart-
mnetal (307 b) may increase your
mental stimulation. -.
Although you may want to cau-
tiously skirt the edge of such courses
as “Quantum Mechanics: of Atoms
and Molecules” and “Anatolian and
Syrian Archaelogy,” you can still
venture into a new course. “Problems
in the History of the Modern Near
East” is being given for the first
time by Mr. Silvera. “Miss Robbins’s
course on “Great Historians,” 306b,
is not new, but may also be of. in-
terest.
The English department _ offers
opportunities -for- “b” courses, as:
well. Miss Woodworth’s course on
Blake, Mr. Butman’s course on “Ad-
vanced Playwriting and Production”
and Mr. Herben’s course on “History
of the English Language,” which is
re-appearing after a year’s absence,
are all given the second semester.
If you want to try something novel
in the way of interdepartmental
courses, you might take “The Prob-
lem of Power in Contemporary So-
ciety” wth Mr. Bachrach and Mr.
Baratz.
This is but a small sampling of
what is available. For complete de-
tails see your local dean.

to meet Fritz Janschka, who has
been the Artist in Residence since

My job as such is not difficult. I
am aided in the task of spotting
each team whose job it is to pro-
nounce loudly and clearly the name

tion. The talents of these spotters
vary.-The-majority—are fairly-good-
but need to be reminded from time
to time that it is last, not first
names of girls which are listed in
the. score. book and that one num-
ber sounds like every ‘other num-
ber when it is muttered sotto voce
in a direction other than my ear.
Once these points are understood
there remains the problem of -ex-
tracting the precious information
from them, since they tend. to get
as enthused as the on-lookers and
are usually urging a team member
to “take it down the other way”
while the score becomes hopelessly
confused. - a
Unfortunately, the enviable qual-
ity of sportsmanship does not al-
ways pervade the atmosphere of
the game. I suppose every umpire
has had his murder orally willed
by a frenzied spectator, but I didn’t
realize that inimical feelings can
be exercised upon the score-keeper
as well. I suppose I should be
thankful that it was not by death
but only my replacement which
was advocated in aloud voice
across the strangely silent gym by
the father of .the girl whose bas-
ket had escaped ‘the notice of
everyone in my area-of the gym.
