Sheppie Glass Advocates Dictatorship
Advises “Anarchy Without Autonomy!”
Sheppie Glass, Senior Class Pres-
ident and May Queen, came to the
Bryn Mawr student body today,
“as a spokesman of a new, revolu-
tionary movement.” She proposed
that “this program and its philo-
sophy be adopted immediately at
Bryn Mawr College as the first
step in the Dictatorship of the
Anarchists, Non Conformists and
Rabble Rousers on College Camp-
-uses.” Continued Sheppie, “We feel
that Bryn Mawr is the appropriate
place for the beginning of such a
movement since. it has been re-
cently revealed to the public that
we are standing on ‘the tough
training grounds for women’s
minds’. . . in what better place
could revolutionary ideas take root!
Our battle cry and motto for this
movement will be, Anarchy with-
out Autonomy and Save The Olym-
pia.”
Asa prelude to the dictatorship,
Sheppie proposed the following
rules of behavior to be adopted
immediately “to help set the revo-
lutionary attitude on. campus”:
1. Never talk at breakfast.
2. Dono reading for midsemes-
ters more than a week in advance
(this does not apply to seniors who
need not do the reading at all).
' 8. Never attend Friday after-
noon Classes (this will be strictly
enforced during the spring).
4. Never be in the library (ex-
cept on Sunday afternoons).
5. . Never™ invite married profs
to tea (it’s not worth the effort).
In order to insure non-conformity
Sheppie’s plan proposes that “all
Peck and Peck labels must be cut
out of rain coats, bermuda shorts
and tweed skirts.” She also en-
couraged the “uninhibited and nat-
ural manner in ways of talk, dress
and thought.” She urged the strik-
ing out from our vocabularies of
the “following words and phrases:

$1,500,000.00 were awarded to 844

‘don’t clutch’ ... ‘these were to be
replaced by such well known col-
loquialisms as ‘flick out’, ‘sack out’,
and ‘hang by your thumbs’... ”
The new regime would make the
following changes immediately:
“In the area of extra curricular
activities . . . anarchy will reign
supreme ... we will eliminate the
heavy super structure.of the state
by reducing the Big Six to the
Little 600; making every student

ferences In Behavior between a
Harvard Man and a Haverford

The first project of the new
Undergrad board must be its
vigorous campaign to Save the

Sheppie stated that the policy
of self gov needs “agonizing re-
appraisal . . . we demand the in-
doctrination of a new group of
lantern men who will have their
Ph.D. in psychology and endowed
with the sensitivity to distinguish
that hundred yard dash from car
to arch from mere enthusiasm and
girlish games ... this is essential!”
In the academic area, many
changes would become automatic.

A $100,000 Estate
The trustees of Bryn Mawr have
been given an estate of approxim-
atley $100,000 by an alumna on
the condition that they keep her
150-year-old grandfather’s clock.
This unusual bequest comes from
the will of Dr. Florence Chapman
Child, an alumna of Bryn Mawr
and the medical. schoo] of Johns
Hopkins. Dr. Child was a Philadel-
phia physician and one-time super-
visor of the Philadelphia public
school medical inspectors. During
World War II she went abroad for
the Red Cross to teach hygiene to
French mothers and was presented
with two ‘medals by the French
government.
Dr. Child had recently been liv-
ing in Florida. She. died in St.
Lauderdale on March 30 at the age
of 74. *
The will stipulated that the clock,
which was designed and made
in 1810 by her great-grandfather,
was to be accepted, installed in an
appropriate place, and kept in good
repair. No changes may be made
in the fundamental appearance of
the clock, and it gan not be electri-
fied. If the Col does not ac-
cept the cloek, the ey will be
given to two nephews. Actually
the clock has been in the library
since 1949. : i
The $100,000 is to establish a
scholarship fund for payment of
dormitory costs for students who
would otherwise have to attend as
day students. Preference will be) !#nd
given to graduates of the Agnes
Irwin School, Wynnewood, but if
none is eligible, students will be

May Day
With regret some may note the disappearance from Bryn
Mawr’s May Day festivities of one joyous element, an ele-
ment so joyous that it threatened to annex itself to tradition.
Was it our “rowdy” Elizabéthan tendency or our “vestal” in-
stinct that responded to the carefree pleasure of dancing-in a
white petticoat? Surely not. What was the spirit of 1900
that shocked the good farmer’s.oxen?... The-cultural-roots’of
May Day may antedate our scruples, but it is cumulative tra-
dition, the modern slant on ancient ceremony, that consti-
tutes the real delight of our celebration. Bryn Mawr has
accepted May Day; May Day has yielded to Bryn Mawr. May-
pole and Morris Dance are supplemented by the Latin hymn,
the Shakespeare play, the hoop rolling, the strawberry break-
fast and the scholarship list. For us there is a significance
in both sides of any controversy - - - we salute both!
Nuclear Testing
On April 12 Great Britain announced to the world that
she was preparing to cut down on old fashioned weapons in
order to concentrate on atomiz defense. The following day
Konrad Adenauer, Chancellor of West Germany, urged an
increase of nuclear weapons in his country, and was met by
the refusal of 18 of West German’s leading nuclear physicists
to cooperate in “the production, testing and use of atomic
weapons.” They declared “that world peace lies in the volun-
tary foregoing of possession of atomic weapons in any form.”
On April 16 Russia set off “one of her largest” (according to
AEC) nuclear explosions yet. On April 18 the Japanese gov-
ernment, fearing the atmosphere to be contaminated, warned
che populace to boil all drinking’ water and cover open wells.
The same day NATO reasserted its decision to use nuclear
weapons against aggression if necessary, and to establish
missile bases in Britain and North America. The next day,
the United Nations Scientific Committee announced some of
their discoveries on the genetic hazards of radiation. On
April 20 Russia, after having alarmed Japan by a series of
five nuclear explosions in two weeks, invited Japan to join
the Soviet Union in protest against the West’s plan to con-
tinue and expand nuclear tests. She promised to stop tests
if Britain and the United States would do likewise.
On April 21 Professor Matsushita conferred with Secre-
wary of State Dulles to protest British plans to test hydrogen
bombs at Christmas Island next fall. On April 23 Dr. Albert
Schweitzer made a universal appeal that was broadcast in
about 50 countries (excluding the United States) to halt un-
conditionally all nuclear testing, emphasizing the “greatest
and most terrible danger” radioactive elements could have
on future generations. Dulles, the same day declared that
the “United States would continue the testing of nuclear
weapons unless there was new scientific information that
such tests were perilous to world health.” All this while the
United States Disarmament Subcommittee has been confer-
ring in London in an attempt to make some beginning solu-
tion to the whole problem of world defenses. 7
_ This calendar of events spotted around the world in the
last three weeks indicates more clearly than ever the unprece-
dented dilemma of the “Atomic Age.” Not only does the
mounting atomic competition forbode catastrophe for the
race of mankind should these weapons ever come to the test,
but the defensive, experimental measures in the meanwhile
may be harmful to ourselves and our descendants. It is time
that the Great Powers considered more seriously the pleas
of the people directly affected by atomic testing as well as
the statements of scientists and humanitarians. = = = ~_

“As I .was drinking gin and
water”, hums one of the charac-
ters in T. S. Eliot’s The Cocktail
Party, “Gin and water”, thinks
some bright and enterprising stu-
dent. ‘What a wonderful idea!
Perhaps that is the certain ‘Je ne
sais quoi’ which the water in the
cooler in Taylor lacks. Must keep
that in mind.”

friend.. “Of course! What a won-
derful idea! We must get people to

(or.more) of gin in the water cool-
er on Friday morning will soften
people’s hearts (and brains) enough
to make them loosen their purse
strings. A victrola playing mood
music and the ticket table nearby
—that ought to do the trick!”

tory major. “What a wonderful

up between classes and Friday is
such a long day, too. How thought-

“Gin and water in the water
cooler?” naire a student dis-
believingly. “I thought the water
tasted a little funny but I was
smoking a cigarette at the time
and thought it might be that. No
wonder I feel a little queer. How
do you suppose it got there?”
“Gin and water in the Taylor
water cooler”, comments a. senior.
‘I-never would have guessed it the
way my roommate was drinking
it down. ‘Come to think of it,
though, she never drinks water.
Guess I’ll head over there to see
for myself.”
“Gin and water in the water
cooler, everybody!” announces a
new arrival to the smoker. ‘“Bet-
ter go over and get a sample be-
for they run out. Wonder what
proportion they use? Tasted a bit
on the weak side to me. Let’s ap-
point a committee to choose'a

have this made an annual, or, bet-
‘ter yet, a weekly tradition!” |
by. Rita Rubinstein.
The original May Day celebra-
tion began with the Northern Teu-
tonic peoples to whom the first of
the month symbolized the passing
of the intensely cold weather and
the coming of the short spring and
summer of the North. But the
Bryn Mawr fete has a significance
and history all its own.
The idea was conceived by Evan-
geline Walker Andrews, who was
looking for a way to raise funds
for a new students’ building (to-
day’s Goodhart Hall).
The inspiration-came one March
afternoon in 1900 when she was
struck by the beauty of the campus.
“The Bryn Mawr English setting,
the rolling hills and well-tilled
fields; grey stone, ivy-covered
buildings of Elizabethan architec-
ture with spring and May coming
over the hills and youth, almost
500 strong—waiting merely for the
word — why not an Elizabethan
May Day?”
’ Six weeks later the first such
fete took place. And, to be sure,
the costumed Bryn Mawrters’ pri-
vacy was carefully guarded; pho-
tography and publicity were
restricted. A 1929 issue of the
College News commented:
“Today when we are accustomed
to see the women of all ages wear-
ing street gowns 14 inches or more
from the ground or dancing in the
scantiest of clothing—it is difficult
to realize that as late as 1900
such things were not only not done,
but storms of criticism were
aroused because college girls even
ventured to wear their sports skirts
an inch above their shoetops .*. .”
In a later part of the article
“ |. . it was posssible for a Phila-
delphia critic to say that the
Elizabethan crowd at Bryn Mawr
‘was. as leggy as young colts and
for the delightful old farmer who
came all the way from Lancaster
to drive his handsome belted oxen
in the pageant to exclaim as the
procession started that he never
again would allow his oxen to see
such a sight’.”
“Since then, the May Day cele-
‘bration has been held . annually
according to tradition; all revered
and time-honored ceremonies have
been. observed. Seniors have been
awakened at dawn by sophomores,
have given May baskets to the
College Presidents and Deans, have
sung the Latin hymn from Rock
Tower. The senior class presidents
have been crowned Queens of the
May to enthusiastic cheers from
the college below, and the college
has been fortified with breakfast
before Maypolling on the green.
Teutons, “Young Colts,” Bashful Oxen
Figure In May Days Of Bygone Past
announced annually.
Occasionally there were slight
modifications. In 1918, “The omis-
sion of senior breakfast in Rocke-
feller marked a departure from
tradition.” Generally, little devi-
ation from the general activity and
spirit has occurred.
A News observation in 1925:
“Though perhaps the most Eliza-
bethan tendency of the undergradu-
ates today today is a certain frank-
ness and vividness of speech, May
Day celebrations were in good Eng-
lish tradition. Vigorous dancing
about May Poles, rolling of hoops
and a great many songs about the
spring, the “Ihude cukoo” and rising
early in the morning changed the
modern efficiency of the working
day campus to a delightful Anglo-
Saxon rowdiness. Too often is this
missing from our blighted intel-
lectual youth.”

Gin Has Usual Effects
On Pupils and Faculty
A group of professors and stu-
dents, reeling and dancing, filled
the corridors with raucous noise
Friday morning, April 26. The
cause, of course, was the gin in
the water cooler. Last year it was
gold fish. The water cooler is get-
ting to be as sacred as a grand- —
father clock.
Letter To The Editor
Clock-o-phile Gives
nies adie Message
Dear Bditor;
It recently came to my attention
that your school has been asked
to install and maintain a 150-year-
old grandfather’s clock in return
for a $100,000 bequest.
We had a grandfather’s clock
once. It was a lovely old piece,
a gift of the class of 1903. For
years the clock stood with quiet
dignity in the University library,
tolling away the hours with its
melodic chimes. Then, early this
year, the University opened a new
library. Books, shelves, students,
librarians, everything was moved
to the new building. Everything
except the clock.»
The main ‘room of the old library
was converted into a lecture hall-
auditorium. Maps, platforms, desks,
movie projectors, students, profs, _
and all gorts of assorted junk were
moved in. And in its corner, unno-
ticed, undusted, and forgotten,
stood the clock. No one even both-
ered to wind it.
Then I saw the Clock.
It looked so sad standing all
alone, stooped and humbled, listen-
ing to Geography 101 lectures, My
blood boiled; I was outraged. Im-
mediately, I wrote to Targum, our
school paper, and protested the
slighting of the Clock. I got no
results. I wrote again. This time
my letter was heeded. The follow-
ing day the Clock disappeared.
The next week was a hectic one.
Students all over the campus took
the cause of the Clock to heart.
Indignation reached fever pitch.
What had happened to our Clock?
The administration was troubled;
so they appealed to the Targum.
H. J. “Doc” Volz, the editor, tried
to quiet the mobs with an editor-
ial in which he stated the leader
of the Clock movement, me, did
not exist, ‘But this weak attempt
failed. My friends vehemently
confirmed my existence and the
students’ fever spread even faster.
Finally, the Clock was found.
The alumni house had taken the
Clock in, and had promised that
t would be properly wound, dust-
ed, and cared for. But the under-
graduates. had lost their Clock.
Accept your Clock, but treat it
well. Do not let our example go
for naught, (Grandfather’s Clocks
are sensitive. They have feelings
and they can be hurt.. Care for it.

Miss Robbins To
Lecture At Mich.
Miss Caroline Robbins, professor
of history of Bryn Mawr, has re-
ceived an honorary professorship at
the University of Michigan for the
second semester of the 1957-58
year.
Miss Robbins was
Alice Freeman Palmer Visiting
Professor of History at Michigan.
The professorship she will hold was
established in 1924 by Professor
George H. Palmer of Michigan in
memory of his wife, Alice Freeman
Palmer. :
Miss Robbins was born in Eng-
land, and received: both her B.A,
degree and her Ph.D. degree from
the University of London. She
joined the Bryn Mawr faculty in
1929 and became a full professor in
1948.
Alliance Begins
New Book Drive
The Alliance is sponsoring a
“Books Abroad Campaign” from
now through exams. Both the facul-
_ty and stud re expected to
put “books they would like to keep”
in cartons distributed around Tay-
lor, the library and dormitories.
The worthiness of the purpose
transcends what might seem to
be-a bold request, The primary aim
of ‘the Campaign is to make good
friends all,-over..the_world by ap-
pealing to men’s intellects. Since
the scope of the program is so
all-inclusive many books’ will
doubtless be sent as symbols of
American friendship to schools,
libraries and individuals in areas
now : heavily littered with Soviet
propaganda.
Furthermore, fulfilling the need
for books abroad in this personal
way is one of the important pro-
posals of Eisenhower’s People-to-
People Program.
The only specifications are that
be in good condition,
the books
and that they fall into one of the
following categories: (1) High
School and college texts, including
general and reference works, not
more than ten years old, (2) mod-
ern fiction and non-fiction, especial-
ly those which give a good picture
of present-day American life, (3)
classics, (4) all types of children’s
books.

Sophomores Direct Maids and Porters
In Production of ‘Paint Your Wagon’
Maids and Porters Star in “Paint Your Wagon”
by Gretchen Jessup
“Paint Your Wagon” was defin-
itely another success in the un-
failingly enjoyable tradition of
Maids’ and Porters’ shows, One
may immediately congratulate both
talented groups, Maids and ‘Porters,
and Sophomores, on their fine pro-
duction.
What makes this year’s show, in

particular,..memorable?
deal, in my opinion. The music,
first and foremost; the excellent
casting; the sets arid the women’s
costumes, which were beautifully
done. “Paint Your Wagon” itself,
a tale of a gold rush boom town—
population nothing, to 900, to 6, as
the story progresses—has_ the
boisterous life, flavor, and, humor
of the early west (one supposes),
as well as a certain poignant
strain suitable to the uncertain
life of the miners, and to the love
story every good musical plot in-
eludes. It is an amusing" and live-
ly musical, and proved a happy
choice for this year’s production.
Of course, the show had some
creaks and: squeaks. They were
mainly connected with pace and the
mechanics of production. Some of
these flaws are mentioned below at
greater length, but no one need
pay excessive attention to them,
since the total effect was one’ of
gay and melodious entertainment
gladly given, and happily received.
The cast as a whole showed it-
self to advantage. For the most
part everyone worked well togeth-
er, and there were some outstand-
ing sugfaining lead and character
performances, ;

believable and engaging. His large
part gave him an opportunity to
display a considerable range of
mood (typified by his two best
songs—“Wandering Star” and the
buoyant “In Between”), to show
a real feeling for his part, and a
notable stage .presence as well
(which incidentally helped him out
of a sticky place or two in his
many lines). Particularly fine was
his timing of his comic lines, which
he got off most successfully.
Patsy Edison (a welcome new-
comer to the stage here), as Jen-
nifer, sang and acted with much
vivacity and freshness, proving
herself a suitable heroine for-the
romantic lead, Julio, Edward Dud-
ley portrayed Julio, and did so with

some ‘stirring songs as well, most
notably the splendid “They Call

Louis White and Evalin John-
son (Jacob and Elizabeth Wood-
ling), also contributed vitally to
the humor of the show, by their
very funny character portraits of
an overly. married and harried
Mormon and his ready-for-auction
wife. Mabel Stinson as the con-

And of course the fabulous
French Fandangos must be men-
tioned. Delightfully costumed and
sprightly on stage, they added some
very cheerful moments to the show
with their popular dancing.
To return to the whole show
again, and a few criticisms of it: |
despite many well paced scenes,
for several reasons. On occasion,
the production as a whole moved
too slowly, and did so apparently
the actors themselves, mainly in
the group scenes, seemed rather
stiff and static (and there was a
pit of hearty-chorus difficulty—
paradoxically, 10 _ individually
strong voices. do not always seem
to add up to one rousing chorus).
Again, the great number of
scenes in the show lost it some
necessary continuity, and was the
cause of another, greater grief,
much set changing... And-the fine
sets were, alas, rather too com-
plex to be moved with the proper
stealthy rapidity, as doubtless
everyone, particularly those back-
stage, realized. Still, the ensuing
delays were bad for the production
at some important points, and must
be mentioned later.
Nonetheless, these hitches did not
greatly nor lastingly damage the
evening. ‘What one remembers are
the good moments, and there were
so many of them, that they more
than total the warmly favorable
verdict given the show.
To consider fairly and fully all
the- merits ofthe sophomores, for
their direction and management of
“Paint Your Wagon,” would be to
write another review. But it must
be telescoped into general praise
for everybody, and with particular
words for as many as possible.
Blair Dissette in directing the
show did excellent work indeed.
Her clear and lively concept of
Chardcter, and close attention to
delivery of lines, may be confident-
ly supposed and heartily approved,
on the basis of the many good in-
dividual performances given. And
altogether, a good show does not
just happen, conjured up by spon-
taneous spirits alone—it depends
at last on the director’s skill, capa-
city for hard work, and imagina-
tion. All of these, Blair obviously
has, and used without stint.
One has the most enthusiastic
of praise? for the music of the
show; as has been said, it was
truly outstanding, and that it was

Mrs. Helen Taft Manning, a
former acting president of Bryn
Mawr and at present professor
of history here, will retire in June
of this year. >
Mrs. Manning, daughter of the

in the life of the college. After
graduating from Bryn Mawr, she
attended Yale University where
she received her Doctorate in

Psychology from, Berlin University.
In’ 1941 he was a Fellow inthe
Office of Radio Research at Colum-
bia University, and a Guggenheim

Legislature Selects
A Permanent Head
Legislature met on Wednesday,
April 24 at 7:15 in the Com-
mon Room and added two new by-
laws to their constitution. Dodie
Stimpson, Undergrad president,
acted as chairman.
The two policies decided upor
And Professor
Dean for two years after World
War I and again from 1925 until
1941 when she became professor of
history. She was acting president
for a year in 1919 and again in
1929.
When asked to name some of her
fondest memories of Bryn. Mawr,
Mrs. Manning mentioned first her
association with M. Carey Thomas.
According to Mrs. Manning, Miss
Thomas had “the kind of energy
which wears others out.” Another
fond ‘memory is her association
with Miss Thomas’ successor,
Marion Edwards Park, who, in ad-
dition to being distinguished for
her scholarship in the classics and
her ability in the administrative
field, will be remembered for her
sense of humor.
She also mentioned the timely
subject of May Day in the inter-
view. Mrs. Manning, who has parti-
cipated in three “Big” May Days,
commented that in those days the
students’ lives were more campus-
centered and they did not spend
as much time in outside activities.
May Day in the past was more of
a student-faculty project, a college
community effort. Mrs. Manning
noted with regret that there is no
‘longer such college community
effort in the present May Days.
yee, eae
Pataure Plans
Plans for the future, according
to Mrs. Manning, include finishing
the book she is working on at pre-
sent, travel, and more writing. She
will remain in her present home
until she has finished her book
which is on British imperial history
of the early nineteenth century.
Then she would like to travel—
possibly to Mexico, the West Indies
and Jamaica, during the winter,
and later Europe, especially Eng-
land which she has visited fre-
quently in the past. Her writing,
too, will occupy more of her time
in the future. Instead of history
books, however, Mrs. Manning con-
siders concentrating on another
were: (1) that the president of)field in which she is especially in-
the senior class will be the perm-
anent president of the legislature,
and (2) that the Advisory Board
of Undergrad shall have a vote
in Legislature whenever business
pertaining to Undergrad comes
before the Legislature.
This by-law will give members
of the Undergrad Advisory Board
the same status as members of
the other BIG SIX boards in the
Legislature.

Movie on Gorky
Shown April 25

“The Childhood of Maxim Gorky”
was the well attended movie shown
by the Russian Club, Thursday
evening in the Common Room,
Joyce Cushmore ’57, a Russian
major, gave a brief talk on Gorky’s
life and his eareer as a writer.
She reminded the audience that
“The Childhood of Maxim Gorky”
was only one part of the trilogy
written on the writer’s life which
was all autobiographical. The film
pictured the young Gorky’s life
with his tyrannical grandfather, his
quarreling uncles, and his kind and
wise grandmother whose folk tales
furnished much of the writer’s
later material.

The Intercollegiate Conference
on Government held its twenty-
first annual ‘meeting at Harrisburg,
April 11-13. Over 600 college stu-
dents from the state of Pennsyl-
vania were present. Attending from
4! Bryn Mawr were Donna Cochrane,
Barbara Pinney, Lucia Sowers and
Sandra Scott, accompanied by Dr.
Wells.
The conference was set up‘ in the
form of a model state’ gislature
with the purpose of giving students
an opportunity to find out how a
state legislative body works and
a chance to try their own hands
in politicking, parliamentary pro-
cedure, and committee and plenary
debates. The Inter-collegiate Con-
ference on Government opened offi-
cially Thursday evening with a
welcoming address by Governor
Leader. At that meeting nomina-
tions were made for state speaker
and clerk who were elected on
Friday. After much politicking and
considerable tension, Jim Dunworth
from Drexel was elected speaker
by a majority of a mere seven
votes on the 3rd ballot. Bryn Mawr
and Haverford, instigating a coali-
tion, managed to find . themselves
in the middle of much of the poli-
ticking and excitement.
All day Friday committee meet-
ings were held to discuss and to
pass on bills to be presented to all
delegates at the general sessions.

It was an enthusiastic foursome

problems of a state legislatiire and
acquired a greater knowledge of
parliamentary procedure and the
methods of discussion in legislative
groups. Besides this, they made
lots of new friends and managed
to see some of the sights around

Will S. Lawrence
Go Co-ed? Egad!
by Rita Rubinstein
In the recent past the rumor
from the New Haven was that
women might be joining the Yale
ranks; very disappointing was
President Griswold’s quick denial
of any such rumor. Now Sarah
Lawrence reports that “a coordin-
ate institution for men is being
considered for the expansion of the
college ... (having) its own cam-
pus and its own name; however,
the academic and extra-curricular
activities . .. would be shared ,. .”
The Campus editorialized “in favor
of a-co-ordinate college as opposed
to an expanded women’s college.”
We, from a similar institution ap-
plaud this preference.
“Academic: Undoubtedly, the
academic atmosphere of the campus
‘would undergo various changes,
but, it is our opinion that these
changes would be to the good.
“Som& faculty members seem to
be very conscious of the fact that
they are teaching women and this
determines their method of instruc-
tion.... . Men would tend: to en-
courage a higher level of study.
“Social: ‘Men are distracting and
take up a girl’s time’. . , Once the
shock of having men on campus
is overcome, the atmosphere will
become freer and girls will not be
overly conscious of their presence.
“Negative commerits about hav-
ing men around have their roots
in distrust of self, of one’s capacity
for self-discipline. By being with
men constantly one gets to know
society as it really is.”

Sophomore Weekend got off to a

the theme of a very successful
open house. The crowd was good
and the music was reportedly ex-

Beginning the next day’s festi-

tries from all of the large halls
and a good deal of work was no-
ticeable on the part of the class
of.’60. There was a real-live dragon
(with bermuda-shorted legs, two
excellent impersonations of one E.

Du Bose), and a car full of old
seniors trying to get into the act
of impersonating various campus
figures, etc., (Mr. Taylor, Mrs.

to name a few).

House, Also Circus
Sophomores, with the help of a
few may poles, signs, etc., unfolded
their contribution to the weekend—
Sophomore Circus (or is it Sir-
cus?) As usual, the most popular
event of the afternoon was the
opening of the refreshment stand.
Up went the pay day bills and in
came the profits for the class (we
hope). The special mystery event
turned out to be a treasure hunt
(undaunted) by the shower that
punctuated the afternoon). The
class of ’59 endeared itself to the
Circus. All co-ordinated and
up by the tireless efforts of Janine
Gilbert.
Weeks of rehearsals and a great
deal of talent were obvious when
the curtain rose on Paint Your
Wagon, the twenty-fourth produc-
tion of the Maids and Porters. Hats
off to Blair, Penny, Angie, Whitney,
and the energetic cast!
After the show, the crowd moved
to the gym where ’58 showed its
masterpiece. The Junior Prom un-
der the direction of Anne Chalfant,
was an achievement. The theme
“Garden af Eden’ lent itself to a
blue and green decor spotted with
multi-colored flowers, trees, and
even a real waterfall. (That really
was a serpent in that tree, right
next to the apple.) Lester Lanin,
hats, and the Octangle (in its last
appearance for ’57) added the per- -
fect finishing touch..

Harold 7 Jerome Robbins,
Budd Schulberg Discuss “Art And the Mass Media”
According to the Swarthmore
Phoenix, Harold Clurman of the
New York theater was the first
speaker in their Cooper Founda-
tion series, “Art and the Mass
Media”, to indicate that a problem
does exist and to offer positive con-
structive ideas. “Mr. Clurman
favors genuine innovation, rather
than the mild change in formula
advocated by Mr. Hammerstein;
and unlike Mr. Hammerstein, he
demands that an.artist’s faith in
an unpopular creation persist, even
after a financial failure.
“Mr. Clurman approached his
topic by cataloguing several in-
fluences which have been detri-
mental to the health of the Ameri-
can theatre. He deplores the ‘hit
psychology’ that is so prevalent
today, and its corollary, the strict
financial criterion of success. These
two factors lead to the atttitude
on the part of the reviewer that
he must conform to the tastes of
his readers and attempt to predict
acurately the ‘success’ or ‘failure’
of the play, rather than register
an idiosyncratic, possibly unpopular
opinion. And this, in its turn, pro-
duces a passively regimented audi-
ence, unwilling to improve its God-
given poor taste.”
Jerome Robbins’ address ‘was
closely concerned with the problem
of dance andthe mass media. “He
places them (the mass media) in
this hierarchy — ballet, theater
(Broadway musical), television, and
movies—showing his judgment of
the size of the audience they reach
(ballet reaching the smallest), and
the freedom they give the creative
artist (ballet giving the most).
“He discussed the advantages of
ballet theater to Broadway for a
choreographer... and the advant-
ages of Broadway to ballet...
The live theater was shown to be
superior to movies and television

for a dancer, The theater has depth
a dancer can leave his track on
instead of only an illusion of depth.
The elements of hard work and
danger present in a theatrical per-
formance are lost in the perfect,
cut and spliced product of the
movies. What is left is a technic-
ally beautiful, but nearly emotion-
less product. However, his conclu-
sion was that despite all draw-
backs, the dance in all the media,
mass-mass or little-mass has some-
thing of value to offer.”
Composer Paul Creston, focusing
on music, pointed out the effective-
ness of using it, “the language of
the emotions”, in conjunction with
other arts to strengthen feelings
aroused. “He mentioned the tre-
mendous variety of kinds of music
(background, ballet, symphonic,
chamber, dinner, military, etc.) and
stated that. since each of these
different kinds has a different pur-
pose, there must be a particular
time, place and audience for each
kind. And although these different
catagories may overlap, that is,
good film music may turn out to
be -good concert music also, we
must apply a sliding scale to music
of various types.
“Thus the following statement is
arrived at: good music is that
music which does what it is sup-
posedtodo...In.the. field of what
Mr. Creston calls mass media
music, i.e., music to accompany
radio, TV, or films, this includes
the quality of instantaneous effect,
with a minimal amount: of attent-
ion on the part of the audience.
Yet in spite of this lack of critical
listening, Mr. Creston’s experience
has showed him that good back-
ground music is appreciated by the
public and professionals alike.”.

dom House editor, Saxe Cummins,
to the lecture. “Mr. Cummins pro-
vided a clear frame for his author’s
remarks, bolstering the conclusion
that artistic integrity was possible
in a mass-communication society by
a statement of an editor’s creed.
He felt that the editor must hope
for the widest circulation of his
books possible, since access to ideas
and information is the core of the
democratic process. But this is the
social function of the editor, Mr.
Cummins pointed out.
“In the beginning the writer
is a lonely man,’ and must write
from~an- inner necessity to create
meaningful art. He cannot aim for
mass acceptance since the achieve-
ment of a conformist is the artistic
nadir,
“There is no real conflict bet-
ween serious art and popularity,’
said Mr. Schulberg, citing the nine-
teenth century serialized novels of
Dickens and Trollope. Of course,
attention to the pressures of the
mass media may warp the movel
in one of two directions: the
meretricious (and he gestured apoi-
ogetically toward half the audi-
ence) or the esoteric. .
“The esoteric novel may be a
healthy reaction to conventional
style and subject but may also end
up “taking in itself.’ The best solu-
tion is a painful search for the hid-
den channel between the extremes,
hoping that ‘if he (the author)
tries to say something about his
society, and if he touches a nerve
and entertains’ he will fulfill the
inner consistency of his form and
reach a mass audience at the same
time.”
“The Problem of the Personality
of God in Plotinus” was the topic
of Father Paul Henry’s address,
presented under the pices of the
Philosophy and Classics Clubs
Monday evening in the Common
Room, Goodhart.
Father Henry’s thesis was that,
although most people consider
Plotinus a mystic, in certain pass-
ages (on the basis of grammatical,
philosophical, and other proofs)
Plotinus shows his belief that God
has consciousness and self. This
belief results in the conclusion that
God has personality, and there-
fore, Plotinus must. be classified as
a rational philosopher, at least on
the subject of God.
The problem of proving. that
Plotinus’ God has personality is
greatly. complicated by the fact
that there is no word or even idea
in Greek equivalent to the West-
rn conecption of person or person-
ality, which has grown with the
Christian belief in a personal God
and word God ‘as we use it, today.
Plotinus considered God as the first
principle, the cause of everything,
but that he attached little import-
ance to the word is. shown in his
use of it: only four times does he
refer to one God.
The problem is even further com-
plicated by Plotinus’ insistence
that. consciousness... and ‘will. can-

|The Problem of the Personality of God
{In Plotinus’’ Spoken on by Paul Henry
not exist in God.
But, undaunted by these diffi-
culties, Father Henry proceeded to
give three proofs for the person-
ality of God, based for the most
part on grammatical structures in
the original Greek text (such as
Plotinus’ use of a masculine pro-
noun to refer to neuter attributes
of God—first, one, good, cause)
which would indicate that Plot-
inus) could not help thinking of
God as a personality and uninten-
tionally referred to him as such.
From this and other arguments,
Father Henry concluded that one
cannot approach Plotinus along the
idea of negative theology; his God
is not abstract, but a concrete real-
ity, and it is most probably that if
Plotinus has used modern terms,
he would have referred to God as
a person.
