Mr. Schneider Discusses
American Urban Situation

Of the major social challenges to twentieth-century’ America, the
situation of our cities elicits the least concern, according to Mr, Schnei-
der, of Bryn-Mawr’s Sociology Department, at a League lecture Thurs-
day night. He attributed this lack of concern to various public super-

stitions and rationalizations.

The most common error of the first cat-

egory is the idea that private enterprise can solve the problem, since

government intervention and planning are an unqualified evil.

Aims At Revision Of Present System

second category, the “things-are-
much-worse-other-places” theory is
the most prevalent, and can lead
to complete apathy about city
problems.

Illustrative of these problems is
the state of city traffic. A decline
in urban transport systems has
created the need for cars. An ab-
undance of cars necessitates big-
ger and better highways which
tear up the downtown areas, and
and so
more suburbs open up. The sub-
unbs, in turn, perpetuate the need
for cars,

Detroit Culpable

The source of the traffic prob-
lems, according to Mr. Schneider,
is the automobile industry, one of
the mainstays of the American
economy. Appealing to the status-
seeking element in the consumer,
and reinforced by advertising, the
automobile companies manage to
produce and sell great numbers
of cars to a society unable to cope
with those it already has.

Perhaps the most serious city
problem is housing. It has been
estimated that 150 million Ameri-
cans live in rat-infested slums.
“The cost of bringing these slums
up to a decent standard is figured
at around two trillion dollars,”
said Mr. Schneider.

At the source of the trouble is
the lack of planning and education
for the cities’ new inhabitants.
Aside from the racial and national
differences, what distinguishes an
immigrant from a native is a dif-
ferent rural-urban orientation. Be-
cause of these differences, our so-
ciety has deemed it fitting and
proper to confine the strangers in
ghettos, rather than attempting
to educate them.

No Escape

A charge commonly » leveled
against immigrants and ‘Negroes
is that they lack initiative, that
they could better their condition
if they tried. “While it is true
that the inhabitants create the
slums, we must realize that there
is no real escape while our social
structure places them where it
does,” said Mr. Schneider.

There is an understandable re-
luctance on the part of private

enterprise to move into a slum

area. The large corporation, fair-
ly secure in its position, does this
more frequently than small busi-
nesses, which can’t take the risk.

“Also, the amount of money requir-

ed to rehabilitate a slum can only
come from a prosperous corpora-
tion.

Entrepreneur Breeding

Slum areas have bred not only
crime and disease, but also partic-
ularly low breeds of entrepreneurs.
The small scale slum speculator
has become a fixture in our cities.
He buys old houses on the peri-
phery of slums, bribes the inspect-

-ors, and -rents-the houses for prices.

which will return his investment
im about two years. This kind of

_business is hard to combat, because

the speculator is- within the law,
and because our society sanctions

Dissatisfaction

Chairman Mag Parlin- explained
the reasons for the committee’s
establishment by saying: “Many
students in the past have been dis-
satisfied with the processes invol-
ved in elections, that is, the straw
ballot and preferential voting. We
have also found that there is no
provision for write-in candidates

ance is time-consuming and dis-
couraging because of all the po-

stressed the fact that the commit-
tee serves in a purely advisory
capacity, and that any recommen-
dations it may make will have to
receive the approval of the Legis-
lature. The deadline for a new

Election Day Rally

» . On election day we are being called upon to join a rally
for the support of Negro voting rights. We should all give
our attention to this effort.. We are accustomed to thinking

_ of the right to vote as limited only by disinterest on the
part of the voters themselves, or by transgressions on the
part of crooked political organizations. But in the South the
problem goes deeper than this; it is an obstruction of a basic
political freedom.

There are three major factors which discourage South-
ern Negro voters. The first of these is the literacy test re-
quired for registration. Many are illiterate, and many are
classed as such by bigoted election officials. Another problem
is the force applied to keep Negroes out of the polls on elec-
tion day: some are easily discouraged, others. are driven
away by violence. The third problem is that many Negroes
are influenced in their political feelings by their employers.
This is especially true in the case of domestic servants. Some-
times this is unintentional; other times it is accompanied by
threats of job loss...

The reason that Negroes are prevented from voting is
not sheer bigotry. It is not that white people object to let-
ting Negroes take part in our democracy; it is that they fear
that other Negroes will be voted into office, not in recognition
of their ability, but on account of their color. -This is espec-
ially true in districts where Negroes hold large majorities.

This is a complex problem; not one to be dismissed in a
few words. If we are willing to poll-watch to see that people
vote legitimately, we ought to do our part in contributing
toward the more basic right of voting at all. The demonstra-
tion in question can do two things: it can give Negroes the
needed encouragement to vote, to stand up for their rights



and not be turned away easily; and it can prevent Federal
intervention in the stronghold of States’ Rights. Southern-
ers must realize that it is better for them to cease voluntarily

The Democratic party as a whole is often charg-
ed with responsibility for the Southern attitude on
civil rights. I intend to show this is a poorly in-
formed view at best. or
First, let’s look at the past record, Under Tru-
man’s last administration, the armed forces were

print on which subsequent civil rights advances
have rested. In 1957, the Democratic 85th Congress,
ander the leadership of Lyndon Johnson, enacted
the first major civil rights law in 82 years. This
bill provided: 1) a Federal Civil Rights Commission,
with subpoena powers, to investigate violations of
voting rights; 2) a new Civil Rights Division of the
Justice Department, headed by a new Assistant
Attorney-General; 3) affirmation of the right of a
citizen to go to court for injunctions to protect his
voting right, with the Attorney-General empowered
to seek Federal Court injunctions to protect these

Student Leaders Examine Civil-Right Stands

by Nan Jamieson
Chairman of Bryn Mawr Youth for Nixon-Lodge

Richard M. Nixon is the candidate of a party
which was founded over 100 years ago for the pur-
pose of securing equal rights for all men in the
United States, The Republican party today has
shown that it remains true to the ideals which in-
spired its founders. During the present adminis-
tration the first civil rights legislation in 80 years
was passed by Congress. This legislation included
the establishment of a bipartisan Commission of
Civil Rights with power to investigate abuses of vot-
ing rights. The Republican party realizes that the
question of civil rights is broader than just voting
rights and school integration, although these are
areas of prime importance at present.

Mr. Nixon strongly supports these Republican
goals and has outlined a positive program for reach-
ing them. Nixon feels that the government should:
1. Take effective action to deal with persons who
use force or threats to obstruct the integration of
schools. 2. Make full use of its investigative pow-
ers in cases of crime involving the destruction or
damage of schools or places of worship. 3. Require
fair and equitable job treatment for all citizens on

Committee on Government Contracts should be giv-
en added stature through legislation which would
give it Congressional recognition. 4. Establish ef-
fective, equal oppo: ity in all Government, subsi-
dized or supported housing. 6. Enforce non-dis-
crimination rulings in all government departments
and branches. This program would do much to
improve the position of minority groups.

Mr, Nixon, in a speech given at New York Uni-
versity, emphasized the importance to the nation
of giving equal opportunities to all our citizens.
He said: “To mobilize all our human resources, we
must make equality of opportunity a living reality

Represents Period

The current exhibit in the Rare
Book Rooms, “The Restoration,”
celebrates the three-hundredth an-
niversary of the rule of Charles
the Second. On display are assort-
ed literary works of that period.

In the first room are various
books, documents,
dealing with the period’s political
conditions and controversies.
Among them are The World’s
Mistake in Oliver Cromwell; The
Historian’s Guide to London, 1676;
A Panegyric to Charles the Sec-
ond; and excerpts from the un-

published parliamentary diary of|ed the universality of the race

Sir Edward Dering of the House
of. Commons... This last exhibit, as
well as a number of others, was
loaned to the library by Miss Rob-
bins of the History Department
from her private collection.

The library has placed all exhi-
bits of literary and scientific in-
terést in the second room. There
are editions of plays of Dryden

Waller, Milton’s Paradise Lost, and
many others.
Also on display are a number

_of scientific works of the period,| The various .nationalities fear’

Dudden Enjoys Scandinavian Tour
Notes Character Traits In Peoples

by Helen Levering

Professor Arthur Dudden of
Bryn Mawr’s History Department
spent his last year’s sabbatical
leave in Copenhagen on a Fulbright
grant doing research on the trans-
fer of American business and in-
dustrial techniques to Scandinavia.
Since the Fulbright group organ-
izes inter-country travel, Mr, Dud-
den was able to spend time lectur-
ing to educational and business
groups in Finland, Norway, Swe-
den, Denmark, Holland, and Ger-
many. Some of these were single
lectures; others were series in

cise but complete sketches of Unit-
ed States history.

the race question to be the one in
which the audiences were most in-

discrimination ‘practiced against

Though Mr. Dudden found cer-

prising, skillful, provincial, and
fond of the pleasures of the’ table.

All this time the biography

letters from her asking me to type

would be sent to her, for she was
afraid that the original would be

country. Then she would return

Concept Of America

The Scandinavian’s concept of
America has changed greatly in
the last century. America was
once more real than his neighbor-
ing country in Europe. It was the
golden ideal, vividly described by
Scandinavian emigrants. Now the
image is one gleaned from Amer-
ican movies, tourists, and sensa-
tional newspapers.

The American’s concept of the
Scandinavian is equally distorted.

she was at home, she could sit
up and write, but typing tired her,
and so I helped by typing out
about the last half of the manu-
script. This job was nearly com-
pletedwhen Miss Nowell died, in
August of 1958, just after she
had finished the writing and all
of the important revisions.

Book Club Selection

Within a few weeks, the entire
manuscript was sent to Ed Aswell,
editor of Doubleday. He had known
Wolfe and Miss Nowell and had
kept in touch with us throughout
the entire writing and illness. For-
tunately, he cleared the final per-
missions for use of the letters,
material or’ names, and he kept
a paternal eye on the book’s
gress. But within some months he
too died. By then, though, every-
thing was smoothing out, and there
was little left. to do but just wait.

Finally, in 1960, the biography
was chosen as a Book of the Month
Club Selection, and so its actual
release was delayed until July. By
the end of that month or the start
of the next, it had reached the

for several weeks. In the meantime,
all of Miss Nowell’s material was
sold to Harvard University and is
now, I believe, in their Wolfe col-
lection.

As many critics have noted, the

vignettes, and these must arise at
least in part from Miss Nowell’s
devotion to and first hand know-
ledge of Wolfe. After she gradua-
ted from Bryn Mawr in the class
of ’26, she took an intensive writing
course at Columbia. She then got a
job in the Seribner book shop.
From here, she moved into the art
department and finally to the ed-
itorial department, where she ser-
ved also as proofreader and secre-
tary to the editor.

It was here that she met Wolfe
when he came in to see the cover
for Look Homeward, Angel. Dur-
ing her five years at Scribner’s,
Miss Nowell became good friends
with the author, and, when she left
to work at Maxim Lieber’s agency,
this friendship continued, for Lie-
ber was at this time Wolfe’s agent.
But when Miss Nowell started her
own agency, Wolfe followed her
and became “number one” at the
agency although it also handled
such authors as Nancy Hale and
Vardis Fisher. Though Wolfe al-
ways addressed her formally as
“Miss Nowell,” she soon became
not only an agent but sort of nurse
for him.

Once Wolfe hhad contracted to do
a story, but asithe deadline ap-
proached he continued to procrat-
inate. Finally Miss Nowell could
wait no longer and searched all his
favorite haunts until she found

where she made him sit down and
write that story.

No Insipidity

Always believing in Wolfe’s
greatness, Miss Nowell remained
his friend and his agent from 1933
until his death in 1938. Of course
it was Maxwell Perkins of Scrib-
ner’s who worked with Wolfe on
his massive novels, but Miss Nowell
took care of his shorter things,
cutting and shaping them until
they were in a readable form.

_ Miss Nowell also wrote an ar-
ticle on Wolfe for a national mag-
azine. When the magazine, sug-
gested that parts of this be cut,

In U.S. Prestige At Democratic Rally

THE COLLEGE NEWS

Wednesday, November 2,.1960



Senator John F. Kennedy, Dem-
ocratic presidential candidate, ad-
dressed a group of his supporters
at a rally October 30, sponsored by
the Marple Township Democratic
Association at Lawrence Park
Shopping Center.

The candidate spoke first of the
diverse roles played by the Presi-
dent of the United States which
range. from (Commander-in-Chief
of the Armed Forces to the person-
ification of the ideals of the Amer-
ican people to the world,

That Word: Prestige

spoke of the decline in pres-
tige that this country has suffered,
and ‘defined prestige not as popu-
larity but as the degree of confi-
dence inspired by the United States
in other countries. ‘Referring to
the loss of prestige, he stressed the
importance of informing the pub-
lic of existing conditions and de-
plored the campaign techniques of
Mr. Richard Nixon in which h
presents a “rosy picture.”
In conclusion, Mr. Kennedy call-
ed the election not a battle between
individuel candidates ‘but between
“the comfortable and the concern-
ed,” : ‘

Steve Miller, chairman of Demo-

Stage Premier of Dock Brief Highlights



For its fall production, Bryn
'Mawr’s College Theater with the
Haverford Drama Club will pre-
sent three student-directed one-

|act plays: Bachner’s Woyzeck, John

Mortimer’s The Dock Brief and
‘Moliere’!s Le Mariage Forcé, This
varied program will be given in
Goodhart on the evenings of Nov-
ember 18 and. 19.
Amateur Premier

Ginny O’Roak is- directing The
Dock Brief, which she describes
as a “comedy about comedy.” This
production is especially exciting
for it will be the amateur premier
of Mr. Mortimer’s play in America.
The Dock Brief, the young Eng-
lish playwright’s first play, was
originally written for radio, then
ewritten for television and finally
for the stage. It has never been
produced as a stage play in the
United States before. Jasper Dee-
ter, Hedgerow Theater’s director of
dramatic classes, will advise Miss
O’Roak.

A “First”,
Andy Lehner is directing Marcel

iere’s Le Mariage Force-~so this
production is also a ‘first’. This
drama of an old man’s attempts
to get justification from his friends
for his marriage to a very young
girl, Mr. Lehner says is “in the
commedia del arte tradition.” The

son, will be non-representational
and suggestive, but the costumes
will be as authentic as possible.
Buchner’s Woyzeck is being. dir-
ected by Peter Garett. This play,
he feels, has more significance
than a typical one-act drama. Cer-
tainly, it is larger in content, since
it was formerly an incomplete 26-
scene work. Mr. Garett considers
Woyzeck a great play, and also
“a three-act tragedy in shorthand.”

To the Editor:

I was very glad that Professors
Kennedy and Berthoff wrote letters
to the editor about your editorial
on MRA. I had intended to do so,
myself, but had not gotten around
to it,

One reference I might add to
what they suggested: Hadley Can-

Social Movements published in
1941. You will find it in the lib-
rary, and it has a very enlighten-
ing section om MRA.

Milnor Alexander



To the Editor:

We think, at this time, that a
reexamination of the problem dis-
cussed in the October 12th editor-
ial of\ the News, that of a “new
kind of rearmament”,-is urgently:
needed. \'The importance of a dem-
ocratic ideology for each Ameri-
can, with which he can answer the
Communist’s ideology, was em-
phasized in this editorial, and a
possible solution, that of Moral
Rearmament, was suggested, But
because of the questionable nature
of the original leaders and punpos-
es of the Movement for Moral Re-
armament, the News has been at-
tacked ~as the perpetrator of a
“college hoax”. We recognize that
a thorough study of the historical

und of such an organiza-
tion is necessary, before embracing
it for ourselves. We think it is
unfortunate, however, that as a
result of the ‘above attacks, the
real issue has been overshadowed.
The problem of finding a personal
democratic faith is being ignored;
the suggested solutions of “hon-
esty, purity, umselfishness, and

shears to the accompaniment of a
sort of rhythmic chant, In the
streets drive Seoul’s gaily-colored
buses, streetcars and the jeeps
which are its police, government,
press cars and taxis. There are
almost no privately-owned Korean
cars in Seoul.

But above the dirt and noise and | |

heat and crowd that is Seoul in
summer its mountains rise, tall
and strong and starkly beautiful.
And in the north, at Pan Mun Jon,
where the Military Armistice Com-
mission meets, and where there
has been no gunfire since the treaty
was signed seven years ago, the
land is young-rice green, and aibun-
dant with wild-life, and the air
smells of flowers and the sea.

Taught English

Because its people are the es-
sence of any country, last summer
evolved, for me, into a kind of “in-
stant Korea.” When I arrived in
Seoul to visit my parents, I de-
cided to begin teaching English,
both as a source of occupation and
as a source of information. The
demand for private tutors in Eng-
lish conversation was so great that
I soon found myself teaching Eng-
lish to five groups of Koreans al-
most eight hours a day. My stu-
dents included all sorts and sizes
of Koreans, from the small chil-
dren of a wealthy Korean business-
man to housewives with children,
from businessmen on lunch” hours
to university students on vacation.

Unwilling Pied Piper

The Koreans are quite different
from any other Eastern peoples I
have ever known. Physically, they
are taller and stronger-boned than
either the Japanese or the Chin-
ese. Their eyes are large and
dark; the women have thick black
hair which they wear wound exot-
ically around their heads,

wake almost total destruction of
the cities and villages, in spite of
years of slow, painful economic
and social reconstruction, of
thwarted attempts for unification
and admission to the United Na-
tions—and;—finally, inspite of a
Revolution which last April caus-
ed the fall of the First Rhee-dom-
inated Republic, the Korean people
have managed to retain,.as a peo-
ple, a charmingly spontaneous
sense of humor, and an almost
child-like (not “childish”) delight
in living.

Fair Lady

I remember once, while teaching
a group of assorted students of
poorer backgrounds at the Inter-
national Language Institute in
Seoul, tryifig, like a poor man’s
Henry~ Higgins, to get a housewife
called Mrs. Suh to pronounce ‘if’
as ‘ihf’, rather than. ‘eef’ I said,
clearly, distinctly and earnestly
‘if’, and she said ‘eef’; I said pa-
tiently ‘if’, and she said patiently
‘eef’; I repeated ‘if? and she repeat-
ed ‘eef’. In a swift and detached
moment I realized the comedy of
the situation, and burst out laugh-
ing, only to be joined by Mrs. Suh.
and the whole class. We had a
good laugh together, and barely
had I recovered my teacher’s dig-
nity, when the unlucky Mrs. Suh
pronounced ‘child’ ‘chilled’; and off
we went again,

‘Education Serious Business

' As students of English, I found
the Koreans earnest, eager and
hard-working. There are several
universities in Seoul; the largest
women’s university in the world
‘stands on some hills outside the
city, —

For. the alanis the difficulty
lies not in acceptance to the uni-
versities, but rather in procuring
good work—both financially and
intellectually — after graduation
Getting an education is therefore
a serious business for the Korean
student. Many, perhaps even most,
regard studying in the United

'States_as_.a—kind .of-miraculous.._--

door-opener to a ‘better life’; un-
fortunately, this becomes a reality
for only a few. However, a pro-
ficiency in English is a pre-requi-
site to studying in the United
States, and so they often spend
their free time_ stabring:: and
speaking Smet. bae-

Beatnik, Clowns
Delight at Rhoads
On Halloween Day

Last Monday afternoon Rhoads
Hall was invaded by a variety of

ghosts, witches and assorted liter-.

“ary characters accompanied by
their familiar—and uncostumed—
parents. The occasion was the ah-
nual Rhoads Hall Hallowe’en Par-
ty for faculty children,

The professori al offspring show-
ed great ingenuity in disguising
themselves, Although everyone
thought that Joan Bitterman’s long
blonde hair, glasses, guitar, and
crew neck sweaters symoblized
the typical Bryn Mawrter, she
firmly insisted she was only a
beatnik. The political atmosphere
that has dominated the campus
for the last few weeks was mirror-
ed in the Kennedy for President
stickers attached to the bottoms
of two young Mallory clowns.

Mr. Koch’s two tiny orange
clowns were identically charming,
while Mr. Le Bilanc’s academic
gown made a perfect pinned-up
small witch. The Pierce ‘Double
Devils’ twisted their tails around
everyone and the progression of
five costumed little Herlihys seem-
ed everywhere.

for slum clearance, and federal ac-
ceptance of responsibility for the
program will guarantee solution.
‘One candidate keeps talking about
slum clearance, while the other one
just keeps talking,” said Mr.
Schneider. To believe that the so-

“lution of our cities’ problems is
feasible without federal interven-
tion is unrealistic. As for the
capital required for the extensive
program needed, Mr. Schmeider
feels it has to come from “the sec-
tions of the population that can af-
ford to pay. I’m afraid that means
v8".



Challenge Reveals
Discussion Topics
On Colleges’ Role

This year Challenge—will explore
the topic “America’s Role in a
Revolutionary World.” Through de-
bates, speeches and informal dis-
cussions ‘the organization, founded
last year by a group of Yale un-
dergraduates, hopes to define the
role of the University, the Nation
and the Revolutionary World.

The culmination of several smal]
meetirigs, both formal and infor-
mal, will be an intercollege collo-
quium on April 21-28, The major
questions involved will be: does
the traditional concept of the uni-
versity as an intellectual training
ground justify its comparative iso-
lation; does the enjoyment of ma-
terial success necessarily imply a
betrayal of our ideals; and what

tions with developing countries.
Last year, Challenge was able
to get many prominent people and
1400 students from over fifty col-
leges to discuss and debate the
broad topics of Nuclear Age and
‘American Democracy.

Faculty Gridiron Stars Tackle Students
Haverford beats B.M.C. Hockey Varsity

by Edythe Murphey ee
‘This Sunday, one faculty child made the following observation

while contemplating events on the

“Those boys play a rough game, don’t they ?

two Bryn Mawr hockey fields .. .
I wouldn’t play with

them.” The “boys” referred to were none other than the Bryn Mawr
faculty, playing touch football on one field, and the Haverford soccer

team challenging the BMIC varsity hockey team on the other. The fol- |.
lowing distinction must, however, ibe made,

The faculty were fairly

gentle in their treatment of the eleven courageous girls who made up
the Bryn Mawr team; the Haverford soccer team was rough—though
no rougher, than their Bryn Mawr opponents!

Several weeks ago an attempt
was made to have a student-fac-
ulty volleyball game. The turn-
out was poor, but this did not stifle
the spirit of the Athletic Associa-
tion, which turned then to the idea
of a. touch football game.. It was
learned Sunday that several mem-
bers of our faculty are aces on the
football field. Commendations must
be made to Mr. Berthoff for his
spectacular interceptions, Mr. Gon-
zales for his speed, Mr. Wallace
for his diverse strategy, and Mr.
Avery for his unfailing sense of
humor.

Like the faculty, Haverford will
again be challenged by the Bryn
Mawr stalwarts, In previous. years
Haverford has defeated the BMC
team ~unmefcifully. The victory
score, 241, this year, was slight.
Perhaps this is due im large part
to the fact that Bryn Mawr decid-‘

ed ‘to join its opponent in neglect-
ing all rules. This narrow margin
of defeat can also be attributed to
the outstanding defense work of
Mrs. Sprague, who was recruited
for a goalie. Our tactics included
striking below the shins, tripping
whenever possible in a polite man-
ner, and parking ourselves in the
opponents’ goal cage. Given time,
these tactics will be perfected.
Given another chance, that unend-
ing desire of the Bryn Mawr hoc-
key team shall also be fulfilletl
. . » Haverford will be defeated!
