F-M FindsChinese Language
Makes Philosophy Difficult.

Mr. Jose Ferrater-Mora investi-
gated the question, ‘Is Chinese Phi-
losophy possible?” on April 17 in
the first of a series of lectures
treating. Chinese Civilization to
be delivered by participants in
Swarthmore’s faculty seminar on
China.

Concerned with discovering
whether or not there is an intrin-
sic difficulty in the Chinese lan-
guage which hinders philosophic
expression, Mr, Ferrater-Mora de-
scribed various impediments. Many
of the formidable problems of the
language are not, he stated, those
which impede philosophic termin-
ology. That there are over forty-
thousand symbols in the language
and that there is multiplicity of
meanings for these symbols are
pseudo-difficulties, he said. Because,
the lecturer felt, the English lan-
guage has an extension of mean-
ing as well, the problem is not sin-
gularly Chinese,- The absence of
the verb “to be” in the Chinese
language is no more of a problem,
he maintained, than the presence
of the verb “to be” in the English
language, as the Western verb is
used equivocally.

Some of the fundamental puz-
zling difficulties of the language,
Mr. Ferrater-Mora claimed, are
the absence of declensions and the
lack of distinction between parts
of speech and between singular and
plural. The lack of distinction be-
tween subject and predicate is an-



Eastern Pleiades
Convene, Confer

The Annual Seven College Oon-
ference held at Bryn Mawr last
weekend debated several general
problems and their variationg in
each of the “sister colleges.” In
the Deanery on Saturday after-
‘moon the representatives discussed
freshman orientation. Although
Bryn Mawr manages to keep new
students on the run for four days,
other colleges felt their freshman
weeks tended to drag.

Saturday evening’s discussion
began with a complicated topic:
student response to contemporary
political and social problems, with
specific reference to the Peace
Corps, and its relation to student
government associations, Questions
were broached concerning NSA
representatives. Barnard faces a
controversy over whether ‘or not
her representative Should be elect-
ed on a political platform.

Driving Rule Again

Next, the group discussed social
activities on the campus. Descrip-
tions of. various student unions
were of special interest to Bryn
Mawr, frequently faced with. the
problem. of where to go with a
non-Haverford date. Driving rule
discussion produced interesting
’ pros and cons.

The high point of the conference
was Sunday morning’s discussion

relationships. ‘The representatives
talked over various aspects of stu-
dent government: honor systems,
representation, and control over
rules. All seven colleges have hon-
or systems; some, however, tend
‘to stress the academic rules more
heavily than the social regulations.
Comparisons revealed that stud-
ents are allowed more self-govern-
ment at Bryn Mawr than at any
of the other “sister colleges.”





other major impediment. Because
there are no discernments between
nouns and verbs, almost any word
can be used as any part of speech.
Since there is no temporal sequence
or system of tenses, there is no
time relationship. As there is
no active or passive, it is difficult
to ascertain the meaning of a verb.
Although there are few general,
abstract words such as “death,”
there are various words represent-
ing different aspects of dying.

Because there is a lack of logic-
al connection in structure and
statement in the Chinese language,
there is, Mr. Ferrater4Mora illus-
trated, a difficulty in translating.
Since most Chinese statements can
ibe interpreted in several ways, the
meaning of a given sentence is an
arbitrary matter,

Co-College Group
Forms New SPU;.
Will Frame Policy

A new organization, the Bryn
Mawr-HaverfordPeace Union,
formed under the auspices of the
National Student Peace Union,
held its. first meeting at Haverford
last Wednesday. ‘The new peace
group, free to engage in any type
of action or study which it feels
would best fit its particular need,
does not commit its members to
precise policy statements, United
by a common conviction that “‘war
can no longer be successfully used
to settle international disputes and
that neither human freedom nor
the human race can endure in a
world committed to militarism,”
the members from one hundred
and twenty campuses across the
nation pursue diverse courses of
study and action: peace walks and
vigils, or r participation in the larg-
est Peace Umion project to date—
the collecting of ten thousand sig-
natures on a petition which was
taken by two delegates to the ‘Big
Four’ at the 1960 Summit confer-
ence.



What To Do?

The Bryn Mawr-Haverford group
has not yet decided its course of
action (this is to be considered in
a policy planning session tonight)
but various projects have been sug-
gested. Some students feel the
‘negative approach with its focus
on non-violent action and civil “dis-
obedience,” should be stressed, and
others feel that ‘ ‘positive” methods
should be chosen, i.e. the compila-
tion of data for magazine articles,

writing letters to public officials, or |

interpersonal relationships,

SPU will strive to implement
in as many individuals as possible
a positive sense of purpose, and
to supply a creative outlet. for this
sense.

Although the Bryn Mawr-Haver-
ford group has not yet issued a
policy statement, various projects
have been considered. Some. stu-
dents’-favor.---the..‘negative” _ap- |
proach with its emphasis on civil
disobedience and non-violent ac-
tion, while others feel that SPU
should employ strictly “positive”
methods. ‘All agree, however, that
the Student Peace Union should
supply a creative outlet for people
with a concern about world peace.
» Although some-pacifists are in
the group, GPU is not a strictly
pacifist organization.



Editor Cites Two.
Periods of Revolt
In Poetry, Plays

“Roots and Rebels of the 1930’s
and 1950’s” was the subject of a
lecture given by Miss Janet Adam
‘Smith, Literary Editor of The New
Statesman, on April 17. Concerned
with the literary movements in
England during two decades, she
discussed those writers identified
with the 1980’s and 1950’s.

The movement of the ’30’s, ex-
pressed by authors such as 'W. H.
Auden, Stephen Spender, and C.
Day Lewis, was not a formal pro-
gram, but a response to world con-
ditions, As (Miss ‘Smith explained,
this response can be understood
only with knowledge of the polit-
ical-economic background of the
period. At that time, she com-
mented, one-tenth of the English
working population was unemploy-
ed; dictators were rising, and the
Spanish Civil War was in process.

Because of such tensions, Miss
Smith stated, the authors of this
period expressed a concern in vi-
tal questions. ‘With a renewed in-
terest in the hero of the common
man, hey wrote of solidarity and
comradeship. With imagery of war,
not violence, they fought for at-
tention in an unsympathetic age.

The movement of the 1950’s, also
not formal, did more than rebel
against an established order; it
investigated social problems, but
with more optimism than the move-
ment- of the 1980’s. With realiza-

Cooper’s Second Flexner Talk

Treats Period

of High Cubism

“High Cubism: Braque and Picasso” was the subject of Mr. Doug-
las Cooper’s second lecture in the 1961 Flexner Lecture Series on The
Epoque of Cubism, Thursday, April 18.

(Mr. Cooper dealt with the development of cubism during the years

1907-1912 and demonstrated how

through experimentation and co-

operation Braque and Picasso worked toward the realization of a con-
ceptual rather than an optic truth in their painting. This representa-
tion of the “absolue reality” of an object as opposed to reality as seen

iby the human eye is, according to

Mr. Cooper, the essence of cubism.

Famous Papyrologist Aaron Turner
Discusses Fragments of Euripides

Professor Aaron G. Turner, a
noted papyrologist from the Uni-
versity of London, now in the
United States under the auspices
of ‘the Institute of Advanced Study
at Princeton, gave the Horace
White Lecture April 10 on “Buri-
pides: New (Papyri and Old Prob-
lems.”

“The trouble with the papyrolo-
gist,” Mr, Turner began, “is that
he is always making a ‘lucky dip’
and. then is expected to know all
about it and how to read it!” Mr.
Turner spoke of the contents of
some new fragments of plays by
Euripides, who won Athenian dra-
matic contests four times. From
the little bits of plays that survive
the ages, the papyrologist tries to
construct the plot and characteri-
zation of the play. However, he
said that the fragments are small
and that it is often dangerous to
infer the line of a play and the
reaction of an audience, but they
serve as illumination on the per-
verseness and skill of Euripides as
a dramatist.

Mr, Turner spoke about a two-
person dialogue from “Cresphon-
tes” which contains the language
and style of Euripides and a sjtu-
ation similar to the narrative of
the ancients,
the sons of the royal house of Cres-
phontes (founder of Messene) ex-
cept for one son who is smuggled
‘away. From character letters in
the margin, the papyrologist~as-

‘sumes that it is an extract for act-

ing purposes.
In regard to the comedies of

Euripides: one fragment confirms

the early date in Euripides’ scheme
for the play Orestes. Here he pa-
rodies Herodotus and creates a
magnificent recognition scene be-
tween a mother and son.

The “paragon of Greek tragedy,”

according to Mr. Turner, the Oedi-

pus story, also appears in frag-|

ments of ‘Euripides. There are
five fragments from the 4th cen-
tury B.C., two of which have been
clearly identified as a part of Oedi-
pus. This. presents a. new. theory
of Oedipus’ blinding, The accept-
ed view had been Sophocles’ treat-
ment.

On Saturday, April 22, at 8:30
in Goodhart Auditorium, the Bryn
Mawr ‘College Chorus will give a
joint concert with the Colgate
University ‘Chapel Choir. The Col-
gate (Choir, under the direction of
William Skelton, will open the pro-
gram by singing works of William
Byrd, Tomas Luis de Victoria, Da-
rius Milhaud, Vincent Persichetti,
and Ross Lee Finney.

Robert Suderburg, Bryn Mawr’s
director, will next conduct the com-
bined chorus in the second full per-
formance of his own composition,
“Concert Mass.” The first per-
formance was given at Colgate last
weekend. nae

Following an intermission, Mar-
ian Willner (’61), contralto, will

“sing” “In Te; “Domine; Speravi”

from volume 1 of Heinrich Schuetz’s
““SSymponiae Sacrae.”

To close the program, the two
groups will join again, under the
direction of Mr. Skelton, to sing
“A Parable of Death,” by Lukas
Foss. (Donald Maxwell (Colgate,
62) will sing the tenor solo, and
the narrator will be Mr. Bruce
Berlind of the Colgate faculty. |

The lecturer explained how, as
early as 1907, Picasso had begun
to employ faceting and a sculptur-
al idiom in his painting. The art-
ist once observed that one had only
to cut up one of his paintings and
reassemble the pieces for it to be-
come a sculptural work. Picasso
employed the techniques of the
sculptor because in sculpture light
is external to the creation and
does -not distort the image as it
does in a painting. For this same
reason, Picasso limited his use of
color to a few dull shades which
would have the least effect upon
the forms he was working with.

Mr, Cooper touched on Cezanne’s
influence on Picasso. He showed
two of Picasso’s still life paintings;
one was done in a primitive style
while another showed subtler ton-
ality and greater refinements of
drawing and modelling. These re-
finements were the result of Pi-
casso’s exposure to ~ Cezanne’s
techniques.

‘The summer of 1909, which he
spent in Catalonia, proved to be
the time when Picasso’s cubist
style crystallized. The speaker
showed slides of the artist’s “Head
of Fernande” and “Bridge at San
Juan” as examples of that style.
Immediately after the summer Pi-
casso and Braque realized that
they were working along similar
lines and-agreed to pool their ideas
and techniques. Although they nev-
er painted on the same canvas,
there was for a time a clear paral-
Jel in their work.

The two artists met the prob-

lems of light and eolor:-by--impos--—--—------- |

ing their wills as painters upon
the two elements, They both em-
ployed faceting and fragmentation
of objects in order to express the
reality of their forms. Mr, Cooper
stated that the techniques employed
by by Picasso and Braque and lat-
er by Juan Gris differed widely
from those employed by their so-_

Left Fe oot Forward a a" --. Letters: to the Editor
wrt? 3 We ~-yeerns as leaders of.,, Lp = gl NG, P P .

Mawr News is warning our fellow students’ about org.
tions which, while appearing in the guise of winnie or
even of conservatism, are actually rallying points for radical
opinion. One such organization has recently come to our at-
tention. Its obvious leftist tendencies make it dangerous for
any American citizen. This organization, as no doubt many
of our readers will already have guessed, is the John Birch
Society.

Although pretending to aid in the never-ending scala
for Communists in American government and public affairs,
the Society is actually aiding the leftist cause by accusing
only unimportant figures while it shelters the real brains in

the American Communist Party. When the Society denounc- '

ed former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, former Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles and Chief J ustice Earl War-.
ren of the Supreme Court as Communists, it was only trying
to distract attention from the real subversives, the real dan-
gers to American democracy.

Moreover, we of the News have deduced which thaster

Communist agents the John Birch Society is trying to pro-
tect. Both are well-known public figures. One, by her every
action, is plainly trying to create an image of female equality
and robustness similar to the image projected by the Russian
woman. Her heroism, physical strength, intelligence and
competency are all calculated to direct American society to-
ward accepting the working mother and the resultant break-
down in family life as seen in the Soviet Union. The other
agent directs his every public appearance toward arousing
the worker, the underdog, the malcontent. By exaggerating
his own weak and trampled-on condition and then repeatedly
showing that he can still triumph over those stronger than
he, he tries to incite rebellion. The Communists we refer to
are, of course, Lassie and Mickey Mouse.

Where then are the John Birch Society’s denunciations
of these subversive characters? Why does the Society refuse
to expose these conspirators to the American public? Plain-
ly, it is protecting them.

We do not propose to sit and do nothing while Lassie
and Mickey Mouse endanger our American way of life. We
propose to form a society of our own, the Jane Maple Society,

whose humble aim shall be the conviction of the John Birch
group’s leftist masterminds.

Warning To All Progeny

Like every great institution Bryn Mawr is blessed with
its own periodic skeleton in the closet, its own special head-
less horseman myth. The legendary spirits which have in
the past infested the campus at two-year intervals are due
to return this spring, and so we feel it pertinent to dissemin-
ate clues to aid in their identification and suggestions for
their subsequent treatment.

After the first signs—dust-free lanterns, furniture trans-
ported across the room, snore-like groans from matressed
sancta sanctora, and odd-shaped parcels collected in the man-
ner of pack rats—of | poltergeists at work, the alien breed will
appear singly or in pairs. The newcomers, accompanied by
cacaphonic sounds in the roadway, will display a strong ten-
dency toward mutual examination.

Once the aliens have been properly categorized, system-
atized, identified and registered, the problem begins. They
. react splendidly to bureaucracy, behave admirably in the pro-

cess of being processed, but otherwise ferocious. Hence, be
alert, progeny. Humor is needed; if this frame of spirit
‘never was effected before, please for the rest of us—give
daddy a kleenex (un-revloned and unmascaraed) when the
blossoms annoy his tear ducts, tell mother you too have trou-
ble on the Deanery parking lot. steps, and please tell them
both that all the professors are very happily married. (Bonne
chance! Smile! Wash your face!)

'Columnist’s Viewpoint

Dear Editor:

At the ‘end of the official “vaca-
tion” recently allowed. us, I an-
nounced to my parents that I did
not intend: to take the plane on
which I had a reservation to come
back to these hallowed grounds.
They, knowing the administration
rule, (we had encountered it be--
fore), were.momentarily appalled
by my defiance; I, knowing from
experience that~what_would hap-
pen to me when I did return was
completely arbitrary, decided that

my reasons ‘were sufficient to com-
pensate for the consequences no
matter what they were. Now I
am on six weeks’ cut-pro for hav-
ing cut two days of classes.

Since the rulie does exist, I can-
not and do not say that I did not
deserve punishment for breaking
it. However, I would echo Miss
Robards’ criticisms of it and its
administration in her recent “Ques-
tion:” Is such a rule necessary, and
if so are we not at least entitled
to a consistent, fair, public policy
regarding what constitute infringe-
ments and penalties? Where are
all of the people who forgot to sign
the list, who left 5 minutes early
to make a difficult travel. connec-
tion, who overslept for the first
time in their life—who can and do
feel justified im criticising the ruie
as it now stands? And even those
who never have had an occasion to
be really inconvenienced (and
thereby see its inadequacies mag-
nified many-fold) but may some-
time soon if it is not changed? As
long as you restrict your murmurs
to smokers, little will come of
them, but since the administration
says it is open to suggestions,
let’s get some concerted action un-
derway! If Radcliffe doesn’t have

T.B.C. Exhorts Plodding
Conservative Action

To the Editor:

Concerning ‘the letter of Miss E.
Ann Eberle in your issue of April
12, I feel it my duty to deprecate
strongly her line of approach to
the problem. She seems to me,- like
too many of this campus’s adher-
ents of what I can orily call a cer-
‘tain (to put it kindly) student
group, to plunge rashly into mat-
ters without giving them due con-
sideration. She is only too ready
to commit herself without knowing
to what she is committing herself.
Such directness of approach pre-
cludes all the side issues which
make a problem interesting, not
to say significant. How. can one
be fair-minded about a problem
if it does not offer at least two
clear-cut and mutually-opposed as-
pects for one to consider at once?

Furthermore, I question whether
her grasp’ of facts in the case is
adequate. She speaks of the rele-
vant facts in the case, but she has
not considered even one irrelevant
fact. On the other hand (to be
fair-minded about it), as one of
our more liberal conservatives
once aptly put it, “There is no such
thing as an irrelevant fact. All
faets function as equally good sub-
stitutes for thinking.” (Dr. Welles-
ley Radcliffe; quoted in Ponderous
Tomes, 15th edition, pp 1197-1198).

It is the datiger of thinking which
disturbs me in Miss Eberle’s ap-

proach, \She-geuld not be more)

hastily radical if she had.deliber-
ately set out to offend the John
Birch Society. And as for taking.
a stand, she should certainly not
venture to take a strong stand at
this stage of the game; she should
not even know which leg to stand
on. She should still be considering
the endless wheels within wheels
of the matter at hand, which she
has obviously not done properly,

Writer Potters Peculasty
About Circumference

Dear Editor,

I should like to add my pittance
to the problem of elucidation of a
problem one facet of which was
laid bare, indeed almost indecently
so, in your last week’s issue. Far
from arguing. with your correspon-
dent, I should like to say that he
or she seems to me to have gross-
ly underestimated the danger of
the situation, whose frame of ref-
erence is not merely now, but al-
ways, and whose importance cen-
ters around a fact the circumfer-
ence of which gains an added di-
mension from the presence therein
of innumerable factors not per-
haps discerned by the otherwise
astute writer.

In the first place, there is a gen-
uine dichotomy between the obvious
need fof instant, vital, uncompro-
mising action, and the equally ob-
vious need for moderation at all
costs. ‘Without casting scurrilous
aspersions on my _ predecessor’s
character,‘much as I should like to
do. so, I merely state that the sug-
gestions made by him or her reveal

Utopia, Where Thy Fun,

Dear Editor:

Here we are in the vacuuous

Bryn Mawr and only Flora, (and

of humor? In view of the coming

Judicious Ol’ Con Thuds
- In Flooded Dilemma

Dear Editor:
‘I noted with interest the letter
in your April 12 issue calling our
attention to the “current crisis”
and wish to add some additional in-
formation to the seemingly suffi-
cient amount already at hand, in
the hopes that it will contribute
to a general, but by no means or
desires, particular solution.
First, it should be noted that
the campus here appears fully
aware of the situation. Indeed,
one might even say that the mat-
ter had caused a furor of indigna-
tion which can presently-be seen
welling up out of the halls and
rolling furiously along the path to
the News offices. It should be
further recognized that. this is not
merely righteous, but logical and
well-planned indignation, calculat-
ed to bring the greatest influence
to bear upon those people respon-
sible for the incipient beginnings
of this terrible dilemma.
Secondly, the campus should be
happy to learn that an organiza-
tion (the superstructure of. which

ment and which will, after judic-
iously considering its relationship
to Undergrad, begin to take effect-
ive action) was formed yesterday
to study the prolem and place it
in its proper context within and

pus as a whole. The widespread

cates the degree of interest in an
eventual solution, but we must re-

Recently there has been much

misleading. Much of it has led the
confused reader to wonder at the
exact nature and objective of the

abled him to become one with the
Soul of Mexico. A_ clairvoyant
possessing a sixth sense — the
knowledge of Truth—the versatile
Dr. Franz has described those pre-
ternatural powers which helped
him to carry out the ‘Word of the
Lord in the region south of the bor-
der,

Oriental Magic

At the outset of his adventur-
ous narrative, Dr. Franz explains
why he first went to Mexico; his
parishioners in New York bought
him a ticket. When he arrived, he
planned to stay only six weeks, but
he soon became involved with. var-
ious desperate cases needing his
attenton. Thus the time stretch-
ed on, and Dr. Franz still remain-,
ed in Mexico, fascinated by the
Oriental magic of its atmsophere.

Believing Mexico to be the ans-
wer to all personal, as ‘well as all



universal problems, for some un-
explained reason, the faith healer
settled down to enact his Christian
duty. Severing himself from other
Americans, who come to Mexico,
as corpses, not willing to sur-
render themselves to the Unity
of Mankind, he began 4 series
of cures. Dr. Franz, who statas:
“I have always maintained that dy-
ing is sheer laziness or stupidity,”
revitalized, rejuvenated, and/or
resurrected one human wreck after
another. Whether the case were
arthritis, atrophied muscles, gan-
grene, or old age, if the Spirit so
willed, he restored the victim to
life and health,. In one particular-
ly interesting instance, the Rever-
end Franz readjusted certain cere-
bral nerves in-the brain of an art-
ist in order to provide him with
superhuman creative powers. /
Peace Corps

The main concern of Mexican

Odyssey is, however, the idea of

‘the Peace Corps, which is, to the

author, a singular force of “iLov-
ing and Disinterested Service” ac-
cording to the needs of the vari-
uos nations. This service is, he
maintains, the “only Remedy that
the ‘United Nations’ will ever find
effective to heal the mutual wounds
caused by all the Brothers in this
large family of mutually suffering
nations.” it is this—personal, un-
selfish —_ based on respect
for those Being helped—that is
necessary.

As Dr, Franz comments, Presi-
dent Kennedy is in “entire accord”
with his plan. The world, for the
most part, seems in agreement.
We might ask the far-sighted min-
ister, who. is advised constantly by
deceased friends, if he is willing
to further aid the cause he advo-
cates. It would seem, from the
pages of Mexican Odyssey, that
mysticism-is to be a ‘vital tool.





Self-Gov

Gurgles



Dear Undergraduates:

The unfamiliar faces you may
have noticed around the campus
this weekend belonged. to the. 17
delegates to the Seven College Con-
ference to which Bryn Mawr play-
ed hostess this year. This get-
together of student body presidents
from the Seven \Sister Colleges:
Bamard, Bryn Mawr,.Mount Hoi-
yoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, and
Wellesley, meets annually to dis-
cuss all manner of common prob-
lems, from, social activities and
the need for\a Student Union to
the philosophy of the honor sys-
tem and its interpretation.

It was in this latter realm that a
number of problems were discuss-
‘ed which are of interest to any
member of a Self-Government sys-
tem such as ours.

In the course of Sunday morn-
ing’s discussion of academic and
social honor systems and the rela-
tionship between students, faculty,
and Administration in this\ area, it
soon became apparent that the
various delegates had quite differ-
ent conceptions of just what it
means to belong to and live under
a Self-Government or Student Gov-
ernment system. In fact, it be-
came apparent that the two terms
“self-government” and “student
government” can mean two quite
different. things.

_ Role of Student

The Self4Government system to
which we are accustomed here at
(Mawr means that above and
beyond any other considerations,
the Bryn Mawr student is expect-
ed to, and accordingly, is given
the opportunity to govern herself.
' The rules which are printed in the
‘Constitution, the rules which de-
termine how you and I shall live,
have been formulated and are en-
forced -by every student, formu-
lated through referendums submit-
ted to the entire Association and
passed by Legislature, and enforc-
ed by the elected officers of Self-





Gov. No rule appears in the Con-
stitution which is not “Self-Gov’s
property,” i.e. your property as an
ipso facto member of Self-Gov.
No rule has the support, either mo-
ral or practical, of the honor sys-
tem unless the students who live
under this system have the power
both to enforce it and to change it.
This is the essence of self-govern-
ment, This is the system by which
we live at Bryn Mawr.

Differences

But the (Conference this weekend
pointed up very clearly the fact
that this is not the situation at
many other colleges, even colleges
seemingly so similar in values and
“ways of life” as the Seven Sisters.
The Student Government systems
in existence at the six other col-

leges range from student govern-|

ments valiantly fighting for rec-
ognition as legitimate self-govern-
ing bodies to “student govern-
ments” which are in essence little
more than rubber stamps for Ad-
ministration policies. Such stud-
ent government officers find them-
selves in the position of either
crawling on their knees to the -Ad-
ministration, begging that certain
rules be changed, or conscientious-
ly punishing students for breaking
rules which neither they nor the
students feel to be fair. The for-
mer is degrading. The latter is
hyprocritical. Both are demoral-
izing to officers and members of
the systems alike.

Why is Bryn Mawr so lucky?

| Why is our system a truly self

government system? There are
many reasons, historical, practical,
ideological, But the main reason
concerns the very nature of the
two groups which deal mostly with
college government, the Bryn
Mawr Administration and the
Bryn Mawr student body itself.
We are infinitely fortunate in. that
our Administration recognizes,
indeed expects us to be capable of

Bryn Mawr Votes
As Rep. of Sudan
For Student U.N.

by Helen Levering

Sponsored by Alliance, nine Bryn
Mawr students from the freshman,
sophomore, and senior classes at-
tended a Collegiate Committee for
the United Nations Model General
Assembly in New York during the
first three days of spring vacation.

After reading material from a
bibliography. sent them by the
CCUN and briefings by two Sudan-
ese students from the University
of Pennsylvania, the Bryn Mawr
students attended the General As-
sembly as the Sudanese delegation.
Fifty-four other United Nations
countries were. presented by sim-
ilar delegaions of college students
predominately from the New York-
Pennsylvania~New Jersey area.

Mrs. Roosevelt

After briefings on Friday after-
noon by their actual United Nation
delegations, student delegates
took their seats in the United Na-
tions General Assembly for their
first plenary session. After dis-
cussion of the agenda, the room
grew spirited as individual dele-
gates tested their knowledge of
the rules of procedure. (Cries, such

as “out of er, sit,” “I challenge
the’ door" (da “the agenda has
long been drawn up sir; no other
topics will be entertained” filled
the room as the delgates awaited

tions delegation, Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt. iMrs. Roosevelt briefly

gates returned to the Hotel Com-

showed various old editions of Fu-
ripides’ plays and then some old
papyri, complete with holes. Some
of the fragments came from cen-
tral Egypt and represent a salvage
operation “par excellence.” They
built trenches through the tombs
on the Nile, in order not to disturb
the tombs, The people of this pro-
vincial Egyptian town had honored
Euripides as a dramatist, but the
“term papers” of the students con-
tained sentences against Euripides

The English papyrologist con-
cluded by explaining how various
fragments can be said to come
from the same sheet of papyrus.
Each sheet, he said, has its own
particular pattern of grains, and.
the papyrologist can thus construct:
a full fragment of a play.
