Miss’ McBride Wins Award
At Alumnae Dinner Tonight

Alumnae Enjoy Chorus
At City Gathering

Miss McBride received the M.
Carey Thomas Award at a dinner
celebrating the seventy-fifth anni-
versary of Bryn Mawr College to-
night at the Philadelphia Museum
of Art. (Sir Leslie Munro, repre-
sentative to the United Nations
from New Zealand, was the guest
speaker at this function.

Awarding Miss McBride this
prize, Dr. Henry Joel (Cadbury,
Chairman of the Board of Direct-
ors of Bryn Mawr, stated, “In
thus honoring President McBride

. the committee touches a re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of
those who know her best. We hon-
or her not because others have
honored her outside the Bryn
Mawr family, but because we our-
selves recognize the combination
of her ‘passiom for excellence,’ her
balanced understanding of compli-
cated questions, her capacity for
executive mastery of multiple
tasks, and her fresh and friendly
approach to the widest variety of
people.”

Miss (McBride requested that
the check be made payable to the
Directors of Bryn Mawr College

so that it may be used for the

school.

Sir Leslie Munro, speaker of the
evening, discussed “As We Ap-
proach the Summit”, reviewing
political events since the last sum-
mit conference in Geneva in 19565.
He is particularly concerned with
the Hungarian situation and told
of his own efforts to visit this
country and to improve the lot of

- its peoples,

He closed his talk with a quote
from Lord Palmerston first spoken
in the House of Commonh in 1848
following the intervention of
troops by the Czar Nicholas I in
Hungary: “I say then that it is
our duty not to remain passive
spectators of events that in their
immediate consequences affect oth-
er countries but which in their re-
mote and certain consequences are
sure to come back upon us.”

Hunt Examines Hugo Novel

As Vehicle of:

Explaining that his interest lies
in the connection between literary
and social thought rathér than in
pure literary thought Mr. Herbert
J. Hunt, professor of French lan-

lecture, “Victor Hugo and the So-

rising. Stimulated by socialist urg-
ings, Victor Hugo came to see him-

The dominant note in | his works
is pity—pity for the racial out-
cast, dimwitted, deformed, and
condemned, and even pity for the
wicked ‘who, according to Hugo,
are the really miserable members
of society. Mr. Hunt concentrat-
ed on Hugo’s main work, Les Mis-
erables, for, he observed, if Hugo
had written only this “mammoth”
novel there would be nothing miss-

Bachrach Praises
Student Picketers

The students who picketed Wool-
worth’s last Saturday “did a wor-
thy deed” according to Mr. Bach-
rach, Professor of Political Science
at Bryn Mawr. Mr. Bachrach
spoke on “Political Action, Re:
Picketing,”’ Monday evening.

There are four major objections
to picketing. ‘To those who feel
that it is not an effective means
of ameliorating the present inte-
gration problem, and who have left
it to the picketers to prove its ef-
fectiveness, Mr. Bachrach answer-
ed that negative action is also
action. The burden of proof, there-
fore, doesn’t any more rest on the
initiator of action than on those
who feel that picketing is not ef-
fective.

The same logic applies to the
objection that one must be com-
pletely educated on the problem
before he takes action. If this is
true it follows that one can’t de-
cide not to act unless he is com-
pletely educated on the issue. The
point that must be stressed is tthe
problem of urgency. Of course one
must be informed if he is to act
intelligently—posiltively or nega-
tively—but the problem of politi-
cal action must be put in the time
context.

The third objection, that those
who acted were neurotic or had
spring fever, can easily be elimin-
ated. (Mr. (Bachrach underlined
the ironic reaction of those who
used to complain that students
were apolitical and apathetic and
now complain that they are being
too active.

Although the students who pic-
keted do not represent the majority
of the students at Bryn Mawr,
they are exercising their freedom
of speech. Bryn Mawr must cer-
tainly stand for freedom of indi-
vidual action. Furthermore, the
action of picketing should, in it-

Training of P

_ Mr. ‘William,/ Meredith, now at
Connecticut College, gave the sec-
ond 6f the seventy-fifth. anniver-
sary lectures sponsored by the
English department on the subject
of literature and knowledge. The
title of his talk was “What the
Poet Needs To Know”.

The poet, Mr. Meredith asserted,
is interesting to us because of the
intensity of his verbal experience,
his use of language. To describe
the education of a poet is some-
what like the translation of a
poem into prose, a rational de-
scription of a mystical experience.

Mr. Meredith went to to use
Taine’s concepts of race, milieu,
and moment, distorting them
somewhat to fit the various parts
of the poet’s education.

Race, or the origins of language,
has always been an interest of
poets. Their most obvious concern

that is largely a matter of origins.
The poet is interested in the in-
tegrity of language. He is usu-



ally conservative.





oet Includes

Mastering Race, Moment

Milieu, or how a language. re-
sponds to its surroundings, relates
to~the fact that a word depends
for its meaning on its context.
One of the chief devices of poetry
is to create a controlled milieu for
language. Rhyme, for instance,
strengthens individual words, as
do changes in word order.

Moment refers to the extent
to which the poet knows the lan-
guage of his time. We don’t have
the option of writing in any other
language than our own. Any
poem written today in Tennyson’s
language is nothing more than
an archeological construction, A
poet will suffer if he’s deficient
in sensibility, if he hasn’t a sense
of the responses of the people of
his time. This does not mean
that the poet’s language should go
along with the ignorance and apa-

fis in accuracy of” ‘meaning, -and|thy-of-his-time, but-rather-that he}

meets them head on.

Mr. Meredith ended the talk by
reading a poem of his own, entitled

Civil Rights Issue
Evokes Resolution

At an open meeting to discuss
whether or not the college, as a
whole, wants to take a stand on
Civil Rights, a committee of five
was formed to draw up a resolu-
tion to be presented to the stu-
dent body for a vote. The meet-
ing, run by Undergrad, was held
in Goodhart on Tuesday afternoon.

Anna Kimbrough, Elle Zetzel,

| Sue Lazar, Perry Cottler and Mar-

ion: Coen, with Liz Lynes (a lead-
er of last Saturday’s picketing)
and Melinda Aikens (NSA rep)
in advisory positions, are to for-
mulate the resolution for the vote
on the stand of the Bryn Mawr
student body of the academic year
1959-60.

One of the major points of dis-
cussion was whether or not the
resolution should be definite and
factual in content or on an ab-
stract-principle basis. It was felt
by some that a definite statement”
of Bryn Mawr’s being in favor of
anything more than an opposition
to the violation of civil rights
would alienate those who are op-
posed to the present methods of
demonstration (picketing, sit-ins,
economic boycott, etc.)| It was
however, the ibelief of Liz Lynes
and others who have been active
in their opposition, that a definite
statement would mear much more
than a general.

And Now — A. Resolution

Yesterday afternoon an open meeting of the student
body was held to discuss the formulation of a resolution indi-
cating a college stand on Southern violations of civil rights.
The purpose of such a resolution would be primarily to en-
courage those engaged in the passive -resistance-movement-
against these violations. A résolution of this sort, considered
by many to be a highly effective means of communicating
the sympathy vital to the success of the movement, would
seem to be simply a formal articulation of an attitude con-
cordant with and necessarily following from the alleged
‘spirit’ of Bryn Mawr. :

Nonetheless, though yesterday’s open meeting was at-
tended primarily by the core of students actively interested
in resolving integration problems, it was evident that diffi-
culty in passing a resolution must expected. Indubitably
this already-recognized resistance indicates a commendable
hesitancy to jump on a band wagon without consideration of
principles; unfortunately it seems at the same-time a curious
and regrettable indifference to the principle most: funda-
mental to our national tradition and ethic.

- The resistance is based on a variety of defensible atti-
tudes—an unwillingness to endorse the tactics of the sit-in
demonstrators, hesitancy to contribute to so-called “Yankee
interference”, or simply disapproval on principle of the at-
tempt to formulate a college stand on a controversial issue.
Though this resistance may be too firmly ingrained in expon-
ents to be subject to editorializing, its existence has several
practical implications which should be considered. |

A “weak” resolution, that is one expressing sympathy
with the principle of equal rights but voicing no particular
support of current action to attain them, would be agreeble
to a larger portion of the student body than one which ex-
pressed direct sympathy with the sit-in movement. Both

would, however, be used for the same end—the encourage-
ment of southern Negro demonstrators. Obviously this is
an end not sanctioned by the opponents of the strong resolu-
tion who, though they may favor eventual integration, dis-
approve of current action to achieve it.

It will be fine indeed if a sufficient proportion of the
student body to make a resolution representative can find it
in themselves to take a strong stand in support of integra-
tion action. If, however, a “weak” resolution is all that is
acceptable, those feeling that even vague support is better
than none should consider carefully the implications of wat-
ering down a resolution simply to ‘get it through’. A weak
stand may be more encouraging than none, but it will be
counterfeit coinage. It will be used to encourage continuation
of a means of action not endorsed by a sufficient majority to
pass a resolution directly supporting that action.

It may be well argued that any advance toward achieve-
ment of equal rights fully justifies the use of doubtful coin-
age to attain it, that the possibility of hastening of integra-
_ tion is a more important consideration than the accuracy
of the formulation and articulation of the Bryn Mawr. atti-
tude. Nonetheless ,if it appears through the student refer-
endum which will consider the resolution that “weak”: sup-
port is the strongest commitment that the student body as
a whole can make, then the implications of sacrificing the
means to the end should be carefully considered.

Where Are You, Opposition?

— Opposition to the action that’s being taken on cam-
pus over the Civil Rights issue, that is. We know you’re
there; you’re why it took so long to get the picketing launch-
ed when Vassar picketed within a week of Yale’s inspiring
Challenge colloquium in February; you’re why the collection
of funds was so unevenly distributed; you’re why Executive
Board balanced 7-7 hours over whether or not to call an open
meeting to decide if a resolution should be drawn up for
presentation to the student body; mainly, you’re why a great
many important considerations—moral, legal, and philosoph-
ic questions—have claimed attention when. they might have
been buried in the dust of a perhaps impetuous and over-
eager rush to action.

We know you’re there, and we’re glad you’re there. The
pause you put between the impulse and the action was room
for a lot of ideas to develop and understanding to change
and grow, for more thinking and learning than can easily
be summed up. There is no question that your points are
strong. But what, pregisely, are they?

Perhaps-if you whosobject to the action being taken on
Civil Rights would make your positions, your views and
reasons, clear, the curiosity and concern that has been arous-
ed would escape miring down in inertia. The only opinions
that have been publicly voiced are those of approval, and it
will be impossible to come to grips with the situation when
only one side states its case. Where, for instance, are letters
__ to the editor taking the News to task for its stand on the

_ issue? Where, when the open meeting was being held on
Tuesday, were those who will vote against the resolution

Discrimination in
ro

, As a result of the new and dra-
matic concern over the problems
of southern Negroes rebelling
against the deprivation of their
rights, a whole new scope of in-
terest has been opened at Bryn
Mawr. But more and more the
comment is heard that the North
has no right to talk, that discfim>
ination is not restricted fo the
South, but is a disease that is in-
sidious in the North“ also.

Two questions natudally arise in
considering discrimination in the
North:~what form does it take?
and, what constructive action can
be taken about these problems
that are closer to us? ‘With re-
gard to these questions I have
been investigating the situation of
the Negro minority group here on
the Main Line.

Here there is not as open a Vio-
lation of rights as in the South.
Negroes can use public transpor-
tation, eat in public places and

by Suzy Spain

In an effort to shake college
students out of “the grossest apa-
thy on vital domestic, world and
human issues” a new, different
and compelling - in - its-uniqueness
publication has appeared. Point
Sixty, published under the aus-
pices ‘of The Daily Pennsylvanian
for the undergraduates and facul-
ties of the eleven colleges of the
Philadelphia area (Penn, Temple,
Drexel, Beaver, Harcum, Bryn
Mawr, Haverford, La Salle, Villa-
nova, Swarthmore and St. Jos-
eph’s), has been distributed (free!)
to “refute the charges” levelled
against “The Silent Generation”
or “The Neutralist Generation.”

A pile of these papers lay on
the doughnut chair in Taylor for
a week. Perhaps the head “Point
Sixty, A New Medium of College
Opinion” attracted attention, but
the four armed ROTC men pictur-
ed below immediately caused re-
consideration.

The ROTC, however, was not
all, for Point Sixty offered a wide
range of reading matter. Arthur
Knight, movie critic of the Satur-
day Review wrote “Movies for the
Cognosventi”—an article on, more
or less, what the public wants to
see, what it does see and how it
is acting to get what it wants, as
well as a discussion of “the fate
of art films.” Ingmar Bergman
and JB, two subjects that cannot
be neglected by anything, human
or othenwise, that aspires for ap-
‘proval, were treated from the fol-
lowing aspects: “Bergman: The

vs, Soapflakes,” reviewed the prob-
lem of two serious young TV writ-
ers who are lost in an era; of half-
hour, western and sleuth series
with ideas for good hour-long
problems, and Gerald Weales, lit-
erary critic for The Reporter had
a chance to be righteously indig-
nant, conscending and critical in
a review of a new art form, the
Piccolo Ticatro.

In an effort to create contro-
versy, or perhaps rivalry, Point
Sixty has lined up articles by the
Democratic leader of Upper Dar-
by and Penn political scientist, G.
Edward Janosik (“Classless Po-
litical Parties, Key to Creative
Government”), Peter Bachrach,
whom they call Bryn Mawr’s
“practicing politician” (“Class
Politics nevitable as Urban
Growth (Mushrooms’’), Holland
Hunter, Haverford economist
(“American Response to . Afro-
Asian Uproar”), and Swarthmore’s
political scientist Roland Pennock,
treating apathy itself (“From Ap-
athy to Involvement”).

Point Sixty is an admirable
attempt, but Volume One appears
“too-too.” Big names have been
attracted, but their contributions
are not unique; the same subjects
are being treated all over. But
again, the editors of Point Sixty
(Warren Link and Melvin Gold-
stein) have enlisted well-known
people to help them in their ef-;
fotrs, and they have produced a
straight-forward and significant
paper that may indeed, after at-
tracting readers with JB, Berg-
man, Saturday Review and Report-
er—awaken and enlighten the col-,
lege student.

Jobs and Housing

havea decent home and equal job
opportunities.

In (Bryn (Mawr Negroes may ob-
tain housing ion a few. streets only,
all with houses old and in poor °
condition. In Ardmore Negroes
are restricted to a limited number
of streets in an area of old, poor
houses built very close together.
‘The community, protected by the
careful real estate agents, will not
let a ‘Negro buy a _ house any-
where else in the area, no matter.
who he is or how..much he is pre-'
pared to pay. Several ministers
now attempting to find houses are
willing to pay up to $30,000, but
either they find no seller or the
seller is forced to conform to the
desires of the neighborhood. few years ago an apartment house
was operitd on Ardmore Avenue
and the proprietor put out a sign
stating that it was open to colored;
a white committee was formed and
bought the building, and no Neg-
roes could rent apartments.

The Negroes first moved into
this area about 75 years ago to
serve as domestics for the large
estates. The women are still pri-
marily domestics and are in de-
mand. Frequently their employers
fail to take out their social secur-
ity, which should be done for a
salaried employee if he earns over
$50.00 in a three-month period
As a result of this, when these
people become 65, they are com-
pletely dependent.

Much progress has been made
by the continued effort of local
organizations such as the NAACP
to obtain employment opoprtuni-
ties in sales positions in stores in
the vicinity but the men are still
restricted to jobs as laborers—
in the capacity of porters, sanita-
tion workers, road workers, etc.
They are not hired by the local
industries or banks, or public util-
ities, specifically gas, water, and
public transportation.

The biggest problem of the
Negro population here is that it
has_no chance to progress or de-
velop. Outstanding students, fin-
anced bby the churches and local
organizations, go to school and
come back wtih skills and profes-
sions that are vital to the liveli-
hood of a community. But they
do not stay here because, again,
tey have no decent place to live.
Moreover, when a family becomes

moves out of the poor area and
into Philadelphia or other places
where it can live respectably and
comfortably.. So the community
loses its better educated and more
financially secure segment and
again is open to a fresh group.
Another influence which will
have the effect of depleting the
community rather than developing
it is the Urban Renewal Plan for
clearing the blight from the sec-
tion east from Haverford College
to West [Wynnewood Road and
south to County Line Avenue. The

Brogan Lectures on Problems

Of Gaullist Republic in Future!

Professor D. W. Brogan of Ox-
ford University discussed, in ‘the
Common Room of Goodhart on
April 11, two often-neglected fac-
tors important to the future of
the Fifth Republic of France. The
first of these was the develop-
ment in France of a highly in-
dustrialized economy which is rap-
idly modernizing and Americaniz-
ing the French nation. ‘Whereas
after World [War I France wanted

had existed im 1914, the total de-
struction accompanying World
War IT left the French eager to
build on a new foundation,, to con-
struct a more modern way of life.

The second factor concerns the
rejuvenating nature of the French
population, In 1820, the birth rate
began to fall. In 1914, the popu-
lation was smaller than it was in
1870, (From: 1946-on, however, the

birth rate began to rise to its pres- |:

In 1962, the population will begin
to get younger, that is, the aver-
age age will be a younger one.

could not have his father’s job,
where there were more young peo-
ple than positions for them to fill.

Youth Active

- The young people in France are
already having a decided effect
upon the country. The Gaullist
revolution was immediately caus-
ed by the Algerian crisis, but an-
other wery important reason ‘was
youth’s reaction of frustration and
irritation to the political stagna-
tion. Mendes-France is, at pres-
ent, the only nian who has tapped
the discontent of the young people.

If you enjoy watching Tony
Perkins being endearingly awk-
ward, do go to see Tall Story
now playing at the Stanley Thea-
tre in Philadelphia. If you want
to see a clever, amusing comedy
with a point to make, give this a
miss. I saw it for free which should
make any normal person give a
good word to the picture, but with
the exception of Mr. Perkins, there
is nothing in this picture worth
plunking down seventy-five cents
at a ticket window.

The scene of Tall Story is a
small co-ed college where basket-
ball is king and, logically enough,
Our Hero is the star player. He

“Ig Nationalization Really Out
of Date?” This was the title and
topic of the lecture given on April
13 at 8:30 in the Common Room
by Mr. Peter J. D. [Wiles of the
Russian Research Center and New
College, Oxford. Speaking from
a western, democratic, socialist
country’s point of view, Mr. Wiles
asserted that nationalization is
not really out of date.

In Britain, he said, natijonaliza-
tion has improved transportation
service and the efficiency of coal
mining. Under public ownership,
British railways are not much
worse than ours, or the rest of
the economy, whereas in America,
private railways are “strikingly

omy.” The coal mines,’ he admit-
ted, are “unsatisfactorily publicly
owned, but the reasons why they

connected with public ownership.”
With regard to the frequent
strikes, he said: “True, there are
more strikes in British mines than
anywhere else in the world—but
less than there were before (na-
tionalization).” Thus, for Britain
nationalization is not out of date.
Nationalization is considered
out of date by most people be-
cause they associate it with com-
munism or socialism. In discuss-
ing nationalized industry under
communism, Mr. Wiles pointed
out the weak position occupied by
trade unions, “which are a hind-
rance to economic growth but not
necessarily to nationalization.”
Communism is not, he asserted,

‘the -most ~ effective — nationalized |

system. A misunderstanding of

cialism has also led many to crit-

its near-farcica] quality. I kept
expecting someone, especially Mr.
Perkins, to reveal that everyone
realized what an ass he was, and
that they were all just having a
good time. Unfortunately scene
after straightforward scene flash-
ed on, each one filled with lines
of fracturing cuteness.

In brief, Tall Story is just too
tall for its own good—and it’s not
even amusingly fantastic. ‘Tony
Perkins does his best, which is
sometimes quite funny, and Jane
Fonda is a lovely-looking girl, but

Charles Mitchell;—visiting—pro-
fessor of the history of art, spoke
about three artists, Direr, Cran-
ach, and Griinewald, in his lecture
“German Renaissance Art and the
Reformation,” on Tuesday evening,
April 12. Each artist represented
a German cultungl center of the
Reformation period.

Albrecht Direr, of Nuremberg,
‘was involved in both the Humanist
and Reformation movements of
his time. “In him the anxieties of
the period were concentrated as in
an extraordinarily sensitive; intro-
spective portrait, ” said Mr. Mit-
chell. He saw im the Reformation
a hope for salvation from “disor-
der in the state and wickedness in
the church,

“Howeyer,” Mr. Mitchell contin-
ued, “Diirer was also greatly con-
cerned with discovering the prin-
ciples of harmony in art. Thus,
Diirer’s work reflects both move-
ments of his time; he was torn
between the _ trouble - tormented
world of the (North from whence he
came and the classic harmonies of
the South. ;

Euler concluded that such an ar-
rangement with. six units was ab-
solutely impossible. He also stat-
ed that, by all indications, all ar-
rangements of other numbers
which divided: once by two have an
odd quotient, are also impossible.’
He reported that he could not,
however, prove this statement.

“Question forte cuneuse”’

No more progress was made on
this problem until 1900, when M.
G. Tarry presented it.in a paper
to the Congress of Mathematic-

ians in Paris. Tarry quoted Eiiler
as saying that this “question forte
curieuse” was impossible, and pro-
ceeded to prove this impossibility.
In 1903 and 1905 the same prob-
lem was presented in issues of the
Mathematical Monthly by mathe-
maticians who evidently had not
come in comtact with Tarry’s pa-
per.

Once again the problem came
up in 1949. The first part of H. B.
-Mann’s paper “Analysis of Design
bof Experiments” was strictly tech-
nical, but the second part dealt
with_.a-problem encountered in
India. This problem concerned the
planting of wheat, which in India
is corn [Miss Lehr checked off a
second requirement]. He wanted
to plant the wheat in a similar
magic square to test and compare
by the mean yield suitability of
different soils, effectiveness of
various types of fertilizers, and
qualities of a number of varieties
of wheat, Mann could not solve
this problem, but Fisher, an Eng-
lish mathematician, considering
Mann’s problem, developed the

to be impossible, but could not
prove it.

Miss Lehr’s research on Eiiler’s
problem led her to am issue of the
Mathematical Monthly, published
in 1905. Here Oscar Veblen, then
a young professor at Princeton,
had submitted three problems, the
most important of which, entitled
“Miscellaneous”, asked if the read-
ers could arrange forty-three ob-
jects in sets of seven each so that
every: pair of objects would lie in
one and only one set of seven, and
so that any two sets of seven
would have one and only one set of
objects in common. Veblen’s_ in-
terest in this problem stemmed
from the book which he and Young
were writing. The object of this
book ‘was projective spaces in
geometry [Miss Lehr checked off

ithe last of her requirements]. He

and Young had’ succeeded--in.solv-_
ing the problem for units up to
six, but they, as all others, could
not prove it for six itself. In an-
swer to this article, Mr. Savath
from the ‘University of Pennsyl-
vania presented still another proof
that such a magic square of six

Mr. Poeschl Savors Epicure

Developing the thought that
Horace’s early despair stemmed
from his witnessing a great catas-

of the University of Heidelberg

‘land of blessing’ was a world safe
from the contamination of politics.
Dr. Poeschl, who is serving as
Visiting Professor of Latin at the
University of Washington for this
year, gave the Lily Ross Taylor

(Moreover, he preferred sim-

ostentatious mannerisms of wealth
and the simplicity of poverty is
shown not only in the content of
his poetry, but also in its form and

man ode, Horace declares “noth-

Horace himself was not of noble

Kids Hunt And Roll Eggs;

Amazing Child Take

After winning the egg hunt and
the egg rolling contest on Merion
Green Saturday, a young linguist
said, “I didn’t mean to win both;
I just couldn’t help it.” ‘

Under the direction of co-chair-
men Sandi Goldberg and Joan
Simpson Merionites reverted to
nursery school days and spent this
past weekend dyeing and painting
Easter eggs and making and fill-
ing Easter baskets. Not without
reason, however: they had invited
the faculty and their: children to
participate in the egg roll and
hunt—the latter participating, the
former cheering their offspring to
victory.



Horace
Continued from Page 3, Col. 5

Im keeping with his Epicurean
beliefs, Horace, admonishes “drive
away the sorrows with wine/to-
morrow we will cross the immense

sea.” In ode 8:29 “An Invitation
to Maecenus,” his theme is the
necessity of living in the present.
“We must give to the moment
what is of the moment.” The mo-
ment. in which we live is opposed

to everything that is not of itself,
including the political sphere and
time, over which we have no in-
fluence. “Even God cannot de-
stroy what has been” and “for-
tune today favors others, tomor-
row she shall favor me.”

Horace’s works are personal and
addressed to the individual. He
is, on the whole, optimistic because
of his Epicurean desire not to look
into the future. He does not find
the political world as rosy as his
private life, however, because of
the great disappointments he ex-
perienced,

The day was not without its ex-
citements. In the middle of a
nose-to-nose egg rolling contest
for the 2, 3, and 4-year-olds,
one, apparently a scientific type
bringing up the rear -suddenly
jumped up, grabbed her egg, ran,
placed it ahead of all the others,
and calmly wénht ahead: with the
race. She then™-had little trouble
going on to victory.

representing “the culmination of
the popular, mystical cult of the
Passion.”

Mr. Mitchell thus illustrated
the. different attitudes. of three

German artists during the time of
the Reformation. Diirer was sym-
pathetic to the movement, but
valued the humanistic traditions in
his art as well. Cranach prepared
propaganda for Luther but reserv-
ed a humanistic style in his work
for his patrons. Grunewald -was
completely involved in the spirit
of the movement.



Nationalization
Continued from Page 3, Col. 2

icize nationalization.

Explaining the notion of social-;
ism of a‘ group of “intellectuals
who believe in the proletariat and
that the proletariat suffers,” Mr.
Wiles insigted that this is untrue;
the sesldeass has rejected this
class-conscious image of itself.
“The image of socialism mixed
with nationalization, the image of
entire mass misunderstanding of
the way British economy works”

has convinced many that there is
a crisis. around the corner for
Britain. “But, said Mr. Wiles, we
have completed 15 consecutive
post-war years without a crisis.”

Mr, Wiles concluded by saying
that nationalization has been reject-
ed because it-is associated with so-
cialism and communism; it has
been rejected_for all the wrong
reasons. (Nationalization is, he in-
sisted, not really out of date, as is
evident in Britain’s case. .“Na-
tionalization,” he said, “is the most
efficient way, but public ownership
should not present a dogmatic ap-
pearance to the people.” If run
properly, such a system can satis-
fy the demand for “distinterested
management without the profit
motive” and still admit fierce
competition, Such is the case in
Britain, and it could be extended
to other countries, Mr. Wiles’ im-
plied, if people would stop reject-
ing nationalization “for all the
wrong reasons.”

Philosophers And Physicists Debate Indeterminacy

Mr. ‘Michels introduced the facts
at the core of the question of de-
terminacy as it stands today in the
Science Club panel on “Determin-

acy in (Physics and Philosophy”

last Thursday.

"We can find the position and
velocity of a bullet and predict
that at a certin time it will hit a
target. dn the classical picture
the bullet is in a. definite space
at any instant with a definite vel-
ocity, But the light that gives the
information can reveal an elec-
tron’s position only within an un-
certainty of the order of its wave
length. Since waves are our means
of measurement there will always
be some uncertainty in determin-
ing the position. :

Yet, that it could be determined
to any degree of accuracy short of
perfection implies a definite real-
ity to which the measurements
approximate. But light. can be
described as a stream of particles
as_ well as a owave,and—when~a
beam strikes an electron, the elec-
tron’s velocity is changed. Conse-
quently, by the Heisenbery uncer-
tainty ‘principle exact prediction is
impossible. If the position of the
electron is accurately known at
one moment, nothing at all can be
known about where it mwill be lat-
er. ;
(Miss Hoyt explicated the evi-
dence that physical reality itself
is uncertain. A stream of elec-
trons exhibits a wave nature just
as light does, by (behaving like
water waves. In the description
of an electron that takes account
of both its particle and wave prop-
erties the uncertainty principle



and -probability are “intimately
involved.” Coulda superior ob-
server unhampered by the uncer-
tainty principle tell the electron’s
future in terms other than proba-
bility One school of physicists,
led by Born, says we “have no
right to ask detailed questions that
can never be answered.” Another
school, which counted Einstein in
its ranks, has expressed reluc-
tance to accept that. nature itself
is indeterminaté. This school has
revived ‘with the approach that
there may be hidden or unknown
forces that actually guide a par-
ticle while if appears to be just
randomly careening. While the
controversy continues the probab-
listic interpretation works.

Mr. Ferrater-Mora, after re-
naming the wave-particle a “wav-
icle,” gave a four-point definition
of a determinate system, which in-
cluded the characteristic of “close-
ness” as an essential element, but
excluded as a necessity its grasp-
ability by our cognizance in an
effort to render determinacy the
basis for complete . predictabliity.
The problem seems to be, not
whether the uncertainty principle
describes the nature of reality or
simply inescapable limitations of
physica] measurement, but that if
there is such a limit of measure-
ment then there is an impossibility
of our knowing the nature of real-
ity as anything other than uncer-
tain.

Mrs, de Lagua emphasized
that neither determinacy nor in-
determinacy ‘have been ruled out
iby the uncertainty principle, as
general ontological doctrines, and

And Its Relevance For Modern Scientific Studies

‘physics can never be wholly ade-
quate to reality. The scientist
works as if with a closed system
im order to reduce nature to simple
mathematical abstractions, though
he knows in fact that there is no
such perfectly closed system.
This point became an issue in the
discussion. Mr. Michels answered
that the physicist knows the influ-
ences from elements external to
the system and tries to correct ad-
equately for them. Mrs, de La-
guna was asked what her interpre-
tation of a closed system would be,
but the relation of the question of
the closed system to that of inde-
terminacy was not resolved. As for
whether philosophy found in biol-
ogy exception to the Second Law
of Thermodynamics, the physicists
had not heard of such, and Mrs.
de Laguna commented: “What a
philosopher has to say about biol-
ogy ought to be disregarded—a
philosopher told- me that”). With
like attitude, the philosophers ex-
pressed uncertainty as to their
command of physics, and the
physicists a fear of the terms of
philosophy. As yet, neither phys-
ics nor philosophy has given a final
answer to this question which
seems to touch upon the nerve
center of both.

self, be an answer to those who
call the picketers hypocritical on
the grounds that the picketers
themselves consent to live in a
relatively segregated area.

Suggestions for other forms of
action were made by the audience.
The Negroes in this area should
be informed of the value of an
economic boycott of chain stores.
It should be noted that the NAAICP
Legal Defense and Education Fund
is not a part of the NAACP.
Money to be used for immediate
defense of southern Negro students
in jail should be so marked.
Haverford and Bryn Mawr stu-
dents hope next year to extend
their activities to the segregation



problems in this area. The situa-
tion in Main Line towns is getting
worse, not better. However, as

| Mr. Bachrach pointed out, other

considerations and different forms
of action do not preclude pickets.

liant variety ,of scenes and charac-
ters—sordid and splendid scenes,
and sordid and splendid charac-
ters,” containing certain “marvel-
ous elements of psychological an-
alysis. ;

Les Miserables is one of the most
digressive novels ever written—

only about one-fourth of the total.

text is directly concerned with
Jean Valjean’s redemption. This
much would have been enough in
itself but Hugo felt a need to char-
acterize the times and. to give
his personal opinions of the trends
of these times. The work was thas
an historical novel and an exposi-
tion of Hugo’s ideology.

These expositony chapters should
not be considered superficial, how-
ever; they pre the means by which
the final conflict between Jean Val-
jean and Javert acquire a general
and social significance. Hugo traces
the ebb and flow of the revolution-
ary principle “Liberty, Equality,
Fraternity” from the fall of Na-
poleon to the street-fighting imci-
dents in 1832; both Jean Valjean
and Javert were involved in this
street-fighting, forming a major
climactic point in the story.

Hugo’s ideology is built around
love as the law of the universe and
the belief that without thought
life is meaningless and suffering
intolerable. He thus based every-
thing on (God’s divine pattern for
the social progress of man.

Hugo was fighting human mis-
ery, both physical and moral. The
three (principal aspects of this mis-
ery with which he was most con-
cerned were the suppression of
the working classes, which forced
them to live on the brink or beyond
the brink of starvation; the ruin
of women; and as ~ hamachi of
children,

Hugo didmot propose many con-
crete economic reforms, although
he did believe “benign capitaliza-
tion of industry” to be necessary
for the prosperity and happiness
of a country. His main purpose
was to arouse pity and horror, to
excite the well-disposed to reform.
‘He held that “ideas can no more
recede than_rivers can flow back-
wards,” and, Mr. Hunt stated, “the
falsity of that idea, if it is indeed
a false one, has yet to be proved.”

to be picketed, these students felt
they should be the ones who them-

cordingly chose a busy intersec-
tion, the corner of the Bryn Mawr
Trust Company in Bryn Mawr, for
their demonstration.

In meetings during the week the
picketers had been given instruc-
tions on how to act. .They were
cautioned against being provoked
to retaliate if cursed or struck at



‘by passers-by, not to interfere with

traffic, or “in any way attract_un-
favorable attention.”

The demonstraters walked in a
circle holding the pickets while
one of them passed out leaflets
explaining “why iwe are here.” The
papers stated the students’ convic-
tion that “ ... discrimination is
wrong .. . we hope to focus public
opinion on the problem.”

The picketers in front of Wool-
worth’s bore signs saying Support

were similar incidents, and quite
a few people refused the leaflets.

Some people stopped to talk with
the demonstraters about the issue.
Some felt it was unnecessary;
“This is the North.” But many
voiced the opinion that the picket-
ing was a good idea and might
bring the problem closer to home.
