Honors Invitations
To Have Deadline
Wednesday evening, April 30, in
the Faculty meeting, the Student
Curriculum Committee’s sugges-
tion concerning a definite deadline
for inviting juniors to do Honors

discussion as to the exact date
(whether May 1 or May 15) of
such a deadline, and it was finally
decided to try the plan on an. in-
formal basis this year with May
15 as the final date. By this time,|
all eligible juniors should either
be invited by their departments to
do Honors or be told that their
second semester grades need to be
taken into consideration and that
they will be notified in June. _

‘Comedy of Errors’ Final Theatre Production of Year,
Accorded Wholehearted Praise in Reviewer’s Opinion
by Frances Shirley
Perhaps the hardest task for 4a
reviewer is writing about some-
ching that seemed very right. Ad-
jectives of praise are limited and
overworked, and a short review
can only hint at the qualities that
combine to make one feel instinct-
ively that a play is just what it
should have been:
Bryn Mawr College Theatre and
Haverford Drama Club could not
have chosen a more delightful way
of ending the current season than
_| their_production..of..Shakespeare’s
Comedy of Errors. Roberts Hall’s
intimacy, a simple and _ striking
| |set, brilliant costumes,-and~above
all, fine acting under the direction
of Mr. Butman made the evening
memorable.
Brightly painted screens and a
few signs and green step-ladders,
all against a black backdrop, gave
the audience its first taste of the
freshness and _ uncluttered | ap-
proach to this early comedy. Ka
Eudora Welty, Recipient of L. Donnelly Award,
Will Fill Position of Resident Writer During 58
Announcement was made yester-
day by Miss Katharine E. Mc-
Bride, President of Bryn Mawr
College, of the appointment of the
Mississippi author, Eudora Welty,
as the Lucy Martin Donnelly Fel-
low for 1958-59. The award, made
for distinction in writing, carries
with it a stipend of $3000.
Miss Welty was born in Jack-
son, Mississippi, and has _ lived
there most of her life. She at-
tended the Mississippi State Col-
lege for Women and took her B.A.
from the University of Wisconsin.
She is the author of several novels
and many short stories which have
appeared in magazines, such as
The Atlantic Monthly, The New
Yorker, and Harper’s. Her most
recent publication was The Bride
of the Innisfallen (1955), a col-
lection of short stories.
The O. Henry Memorial prize
for the short story has twice been
awarded to Miss - Welty. In May
1955, she received the Howells
Medal of The American Academy
of Arts and Letters, given every
five years for the most disting-
uished work of American fiction
published during that period, for
her novel The Ponder Heart. This
snovel was later’ dramatized on
Broadway.
The holder of the Donnelly Fel-
lowship is expected to reside at
Bryn Mawr for some part of the
college year, Miss McBride said
in announcing the award, but has
no_academie duties, making it pos-
sible to devote the entire working
time to creative writing or re-
search. Candidates must be citi-
zens of the United States or the
British Commonwealth.

Onward!
In previous times of crisis the News has declared its
firm belief, founded on the sound opinion of Aristotle, that
all things have a beginning, a middle and an end; and yet, in
the interests of liberal scholarship, and with a aversion to
dogmatic repetition, we wish to qualify this statement and
to suggest that if the beginning and end be united, only the
middle remains. For proof of the importantce of this axiom,
we need only cite that unfortunate moment of literary criti-
cism when Dr. Johnson noted that Samson Agonistes had no
middle.
If we accomplish nothing else we shall endeavor to
escape so tragical and so embarrassing a stigma, and to com-
bat it we propose a universal theory of middles.
The beneficial effects of the application of this theory
to the problem of the academic schedule are instantly appar-
ent; we might exist in a continuum, we might wallow in the
boggy center of life, secure from the pain of starting or con-
cluding, and it is debatable which is the more difficult. We
suggest the reexamination of the report of the reevalu-
ation committee in this light, although we are not cer-
tain whether this report doés labor under the difficulty of an
end. Possibly a complete, unified and eternally existing head
of the Big Seven, Eight and Nine might be chosen and like
the Year Spirit or the corn maiden might be eternally and
effortlessly renewed each spring. The possibilities are un-
ending, unfinished, limitless, and although we realize the im-
possibility of transcending the laws of physical science we
cannot ignore the advantages of overcoming that long
established literary convention ‘“‘we must endure our going
hence, even as our coming hither.” Onward!
Roost Houses Exhibition of Student Art;
Eight Sculptures by Janschka Featured
The Roost acquired a new air
on Monday afternoon, when Mr.
Janschka carried there eight of
his recent sculptures, and when
these and examples of the art dorie
for him in the Art 101 Lab were
placed about on the tables and
walls.
The exhibits were selected and
arranged under the sponsorship of
the Arts Council. The lab work
consists mostly of collages, pen
ink drawings, sketches for
murals, and small oils.
There are of course disadvant-
ages in coinciding the two ex-
hibits, one of unfinished student
lab work. and the other of pro-
fessional, previously exhibited
sculpture, as Cathya Wing, chair-
man of Arts Council, recognized.
But “each exhibit called for the
Roost, and time required their
simultaneity.” The exhibits are to
last two weeks. The student art
will be taken down on Friday the
23rd, and ‘Mr. Janschka’s on Mon-
day the 26th, so that his work may
be viewed alone for a short time.
Fritz Janschka’s eight sculp-
tures, though all of wire or sheet
metal, his favorite mediums, show
his recent development from two-
dimensional to three-dimensional
work, and a variety of subject.
Wire can be used in a transparent
way, so that the space counts as
much as the wire form. Several
of the pieces are unusually creat-
ed to fit a particular stone base.
Mr. Janschka starts with a. braced
bronze welding wire design, in-
tended to fit a particular stone as
its base. As the stone cannot stand
the heat necessary for the welding,
he- casts the shape of the stone
out of fireproof clay. He later
transfers the wire onto the stone.
He created “City,” “San Miguel
Allende” and “Church” in this
manner. Each was inspired by 2
trip to Mexico. “City,” he sug-
gests, could be a stage set for a
production of Faust.
From these, Mr. Janschka went
on to his “Angel” and “Kneeling
Woman” (both loaned by Mr. and
Mrs. Richard Kaplan), and to his
three-dimensional “Bird,” “Dutch
Woman” and “Bullfighter Enter-
ing,” a larger work, finished in
1957, and loaned by Mr. and Mrs.
Peter Florey. “Bullfighting Enter-
ing” is made out of sheet metal.
Th pieces were cut out with an
acetylene torch, and wrought over
an anvil. Once assembled, brass
and nickel silver were added for
texture and color.

There’s a Dinosaur Too Many In
Pembroke’s Upmost Storey
After the flood -receded, there
were four months of war and
drought, in which time Tyran-
nasaura Regina ascended to an
antediluvian attic. Her cranial
brain reminded her that water was
up coz that’s where Ararat was,
‘and her spinal brain, being down
to earth, and rather more scientif-
ic, instructed her that water’s
more down than up. The brain of
the aether won, so up she went
where her unwitting footsteps
carried her, only too soon, poor
innocent. On the 18th. step she
ducked, beneath a zooming schist;
on the 19th she flattened herself
under three more. On the 20th she
stumbled—enough stones for two
mountains hove into sight. Regina
collapsed and the storm passed.
When she looked up curiously
enough, there, were Pyrrha and
Deucalion, who quoth:
“What dost thou little croco-
"hn Dortlock
the poised quadruped retorted; “I
seek, for instance, the great grey
green greasy Limpopo River all
set about with fever trees.”
“So indeed, so indeed,” said
Deucalion, hurling more bones of
his mother at the hapless beast.
“Avaunt, I am the precursor of
Christian civilization. And you?”
“Ah, we are but the sad shades
of a sinful age.” :
“Humm,” uttered Regina, “you
from one flood, I, another. Avaunt
and let the future past.”. .
“Overweening wench, that,” said
Deucalion, picking up a fistful of
symbolic fibulas to lrurl at Regina.
“Sticks and-8tones may break
my bones, but words will never
hurt me. Begone dull relics of a
foreign age,” said Regina, wallop-
ing Pyrrha and Deucalion with her
spiney tail, thus ending them.
Regina dragged her bulk up the
darkened stairwell, till she reach-
ed her thirst best hope at last,
and stayed. (It was ‘Pem East
attic though she wotted it not.)
It was.about time too, because
even as a May Day gift she had
dile?” Nothing discountenanced,
become Regina non Grata.
To the students of Bryn Mawr
College:
I have certain feelings which I
wish to try to tell you about, be-
cause they concern my presence
here on the Bryn Mawr campus.
They are feelings of happiness,
feelings of thankfulness of com-
panionship and love for you and
this college.
From last fall when I was just
becoming acquainted with many of
you and autumn was spread out
over the hills as a golden blanket
of beauty and fullness of life,
through the winter while the snow
brought out the fairytale beauty
of the campus and I learned the
fun of tray sliding behind Rhoads
Hall, to the spring, even prettier
to me than the rest, with its blos-
soms and freshness and promise
of growth, there has developed in
me a love for these things, and
for you whom I have known this
year that will remain strong with-
in me for longer than I can know.
Letters to the Editor
I appreciate your acceptance of
me, your friendliness toward me
and your patience when I blunder
or make apparent my lack of
ability to always hold to the prin-
ciples that I feel to be right. If
I have played too much and work-
ed too little it was because of
desire to know you better, col-
lectively and as individuals. These? —
times were spent well, I am con-
tinually repaid for each minute,
in memories, in cheerfulness, and
in friendship which I hope will
continue to grow.
The longer I have stayed here,
the more often I have felt well-
ing up inside me feelings of pure
love and joy, mingled into a song
of thanks for the beauty which I
have been given and which I am
still learning to appreciate. Take
these, my thanks; I offer them
sincerely as the most I can give
in return for the joy and beauty
which you have given me, .and
which I will carry as part of me.

“Ambiguous Immortality” was
the title of the lecture given under
the auspices of the Philosophy
Club by Dr. Geddes MacGregor
last. Wednesday evening, May 7,
in the common room. In introduc-
ing his subject, Dr. MacGregor
said that there is ambiguity in the
term immortality and that there
are really three different theories
of immortality: the personal sur-
vival theory, the soul-substance
theory, and the eternal life theory.
The first of these theories carries
with it the idea of the survival of
the person or a pale resemblance
of the person such as a ghost or
shade. Many times this comes
from dreams in which a member
of a person’s family has appeared
to him. As an example of the per-
sonal survival theory, Dr. Mac-
Gregor cited the land of shades in,
Homer’s Odyssey.
The second of these theories, the
soul-substance theory, has as _ its
basis the soul as an eternal sub-
stance. In contrast to this, phys-
ical substances are “transitory in
character”, The body serves as’
environment for the soul. Accord-
ing to Dr. MacGregor, “this tre-
mendously influential theory pro-
vides for immortality as a pseudo-
scientific fact.” Because the soul
is an eternal substance, immortal-
ity is a part of the nature of man,
a “part of the very essence” of
man. Immortality, here, there-
fore, is something which need
not
Three Theories of Immortality Presented
By Dr. MacGregor At Philosophy Club
The third theory, the eternal ;
life theory, is that found in the
New Testament. Here, eternal life
is regarded as “a new state of be-
ing”. An essential point behind
this theory of immortality is that
“life varies in quality”. What is
being offered in the New Testa-
ment is “superior quality of life”.
Here, “death becomes the portal
of eternal life”,
There is an important point of
difference between the eternal life
theory and the soul substance
theory. In the case of the former,
the story of the Garden of Eden
tells us that man has been deprived
of eternal life. In the soul-sub-
stance theory, such a thing would
be impossible because immortality
is a part of the nature of man and
he could not be deprived of it, In
the eternal life theory, however,
immortality is somewhat of a prize
and “not something which is inev-
itably inherited.”

Dottie Reichenberger Visited and Played
In Puerto Rico’s Pablo Casals Festival
by Lois Potter
At this time of year especially,
a two weeks’ vacation in sunny
Puerto Rico sounds most inviting.
But. Dorothy Reichenberger ’60
had a special reason for being
there. She was one of 10 students
(five from North Ameriea and five
from South America) given schol-
arships to attend the Pablo Casals
festival in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Out of the 250 American students
applying for these scholarships,
Dottie, who plays the ’cello,-was
chosen on the basis of musical ex-
perience and talent by a committee
consisting of the president of the
Pan-American Union, a _ United
Press music critic, and the direct-
or of the fesitvai,
In San Juan the students found
themselves part of the festival. “It
was stimulating,” Dottie found,
“to be in the presence of great
artistic personalities.” She attend-

swimming. The New York Times,
which ran a feature on the student
guests, quotes Dottie as saying, “I
have a hectic schedule. It doesn’t
give me time enough for anything
but my own lessons. There is too
little time for chamber music, too
little time for listening. Here I
am brought back to the atmosphere
of being in music.”
The ten students met Senor Cas-

cellist, who talked, Dottie says,
“about music, musicians, life...”

Anna Kisselaoff Selected To Participate In US-
USSR Student Exchange Program
by Alex van Wessem
“We're sailing from Quebec on
June 30,” said Anna Kisselgoff
’58, referring to her trip to Russia
this summer, under the auspices
of the Council on Student Travel.
Anna has been chosen to be one
of the forty Americans who will
represent the United States in the
Soviet Union for a period of
thirty-nine days.
This is the first official student
exchange between the two nations;
the N.S.A. did send six American
students to Russia, but Russia has
not yet reciprocated. The students
will be in groups of nine, each of
which will have a leader; the en-
tire project will be headed by
festival and hopes to have another,
one next year. Dottie for her part,
found it both instructive and en-
joyable. “It was an assemblage of
the highest caliber musicians on
the highest artistic level; I learned
a lot from being-able to. witness
the inner workings of the festival.”

Each group is sponsored by a dif-
ferent organization, and all four
are co-ordinated by the Council.
The four sponsors are the Experi-
ment in International Living, the
Lisle Fellowship, the YM-YWCA
group, and a youth group of the
World Council of Churches. Anna’s
particular group will be under the
Experiment in International Liv-
ing. :
“This is not a typical ‘experi-
ment’,” Anna went on to explain.
Usually, students live with fam-
ilies of the countries they are vis-
iting. In this case, however, it
did not work out, and the students
are housed in student homes and
youth centers. However, Anna did
add that simultaneous groups are
going to Poland and Czechoslova-
kia, who will be living with fam-
ilies.
Anna did not as of now know
all the details of her trip. How-
ever, she did indicate what- the
general plan of it would entail.
After a period of orientation on
the boat, they will go to Paris
and from there fly directly to Mos-
cow. A period of time in the cap-

ed by a splitting up of the groups
into four areas: Leningrad and
Kiev, Moscow and Stalingrad, Uz-
bek, and Georgia. Anna stressed
that “this is not a sight-seeing
trip!” but rather one involving a
cultural exchange, There will be
meetings and discussion groups
with Russian students and offic-
ials, and seminars will be held.
Anna then went on to tell about
the background of the groups in
general. The organizations pre-
ferred to have at-least-two in each
group who. speak Russian; in
Anna’s section, 75 percent know
the language, which is in itself
remarkable. The members of the
experiment come from a variety
of backgrounds; included are un-
dergraduates, graduate students,
and even some newspaper report-
ers. (Here Anna is in good com-
pany, since she is a former
Editor of the News).
Although the Church group does
have a few divinity students, the
others do not show preference to
any one field; history and govern-
ment majors participate, but it is
not a prerequisite by any means.
(Anna herself is an English ma-
jor). As for the financial aspect
of such a trip, Anna explained that
the fees are partly subsidized by
foundation grants, so that the stu-
dents pay a minimum amount.
Anna took two years of the Rus-
sian language here, and spent a
summer in the Russian Language
School at Middlebury. She added
that three of her classmates in
Middlebury are also participating
in the experiment. But the main
qualification, according to the
agencies sponsoring the trip, which
Anna and the others must possess,
is a genuine interest in the history
and political activities of the two
nations, and a sincere desire to
ameliorate relations.

Comedy of Errors Continued
Continued from Page 1, Col. 4
Jordan designed a set that served
admirably, allowed a swift pace
for the play, and could, incident-
ally, be transported to iincoln
University for Sunday’s /perform-
ance with a minimum of effort.
In this setting the actors moved
quickly and surely, speaking their
lines with a clarity that is so
often lacking in Shakespearian
performances and almost always
handling the stage business deftly.
The problem of the two sets of
twins was solved, in one instance,
by casting Charles and Donald
Knight, who are both excellent
actors, as the brothers Antipholus;
in the other, by formalized clown
make-up for the Dromios. The out-
standing performance at least on
Friday evening, was by Donald
Knight, Antipholus of Syracuse.
Without any trace of exaggera-
tion, his voice and gestures por-
trayed his shifts from joy to con-
fusion to indignation. When he
was on the stage he dominated it.
Keith Bradley handled the long,
slow moving exposition speech of
Aegeon very well, addressing the
audience as if telling his story to
the Ephesian citizenry. Hfs move-
| ments about the stage were ac-
companied by the sad music of
recorders that added more variety
to the static scene.
The Luciana of Nina Broekhuy-
sen was another highly commend-
able performance, and seemed
more pleasing than the Adriana.
There was restraint and what
seemed to be a thorough under-
standing of the lines, coupled with
grace of movement. Katherine
Kohlhas’ Adriana, on the other
hand, seemed to be a more studied,
formalized performances; the lines
were conceived almost a# musical
phrases, and one was much more
aware of changes in pitch and
volume than of the actual poetry.
At opposite poles were Amelia
(Jane Parry) and Luce (Alice
Casciato). The abbess’ speeches
were characterized by a complete
and easy dignity and_ excellent
delivery. In fact, all facets of the

role were very well handled. Luce
on the other hand was treated with
ribald gusto, and her costume was
a tribute to the use of -padding.
There were bits of stage busi-
ness, always in perfect keeping
with the spirit of the play, that
this reviewer will miss in future
productions. The deaf merchant.
striving to catch words in his ear
trumpet, and then swearing by: his
ears, gave proper emphasis to his
lines. The attendants carefully
divided their rope and _ planned
their strategy on stage rear, and
one looked forward to the binding
of Antipholus of Ephesus, just as
one happily anticipated the
beatings of the Dromios with a
split bamboo stave. And the two
Dromios can only be praised for
their graceful clowning and the
enthusiasm with which they per-

At times the music was a bit
distracting, and there were a very
few: instances of confused block-
ing, when parts of the action
seemed to lack smoothness. But
these are minor faults and scarce-
ly detracted from a play that was
almost all it should have been.
There was no weakness in the
minor roles; and all the actors had
that assurance that made them
seem at home with rather than
awed by Shakespeafe’s lines. There
was never a feeling that business
had been desperately contrived to
add to the humor, but rather a nat
uralness that was quite appropri-
ate to the suitably quick playing
of the uncut text.
