sciences, including anthropology,
psychology (excluding clinical psy-
chology), and from the following
social sciences, where they con-
form to accepted standards of
scientific inquiry by fulfilling the
requirements of the basic scien-
tific method as to objectivity, ver-
ifiability and generality: geogra-
phy, mathematical economics, dem-
. ography, information and commun-
ication theory, experimental and

Students Invited
To Folk Dancing

by Yvonne Chan

All those who have a sincere in-
terest in folk-dancing are welcome
to join Betchen Wayland’s group
of folk-dancers every Thursday
at 8:30 p.m. in the gym. Betchen,
a Pembroke West freshman from
Pasadena, California, has always
been very active in the folk-danc-
ing group in her home town.

Betchen stresses that this is not:

a square-dance group; _ instead,
round dances, circle dances, couple
dances, and line dances will be
practiced. Her collection of rec-

ords, plus the gym’s, will provide’

interesting folk tunes from many
of the European countries—Ger-
and the Balkan
States, whose varied dances inter-
est a large number of people.
‘Pros and Beginners Welcome
Last Thursday Betchen taught
some of the girls the steps to
many of the folk-dances. The girls
learned enough, she says, to help
teach the novices next week. Be-
ginners as well as “old pros” are
welcome, as the mixture of both
will prove interesting.
Haverford to Join Group
One of the girls has found out
that a number of the Haverford
boys’ are interested in the folk-
dance group, Permission has been
obtained for them to join the group
next week. _«
Betchén hopes this group will
create an increased interest in the
field of folk-dancing.

Mawr by Pembroke East’s Carol
Waller,

The explosive snapping of the
whip, explained Carol, who learn-
ed the art of flinging it from an
enthusiast in Illionis, is caused by
its being drawn out of a loop form-
ed in the air faster than the speed
of sound. It is, thus, the cracking
of the air, and not actually the
whip, that produces the noise. For
this reason, Carol maintains, sling-
ing the bullwhip is not.so much a
question of strength as of tech-
nique.

Handmade In West

The whip itself, hand-made
somewhere in the West, is a raw-
hide braid with tapering lash
mounted on a cylindrical swivel
hondle, The 12-foot plait narrows
down to a single leather strip, a
piece of rope, and, finally, a nylon
“cracker”’—the last employed to
protect. the leather and amplify
the sound.

The art of the bullwhip, origin-
ated and still used by Mexican
cowboys to control herds, has
reached a high point of develop-
ment, and many a Hollywood hero
has employed it to flick a cigarette
from the lips of a desperado. Even
Mexican cowboys, gauche by com-
parison with their cinema counter-
parts, have used it to knock a fly
off the ear of a sleeping bull.

Goal Is Target-Whipping

Carol, whose goal is this type
of target-whipping, is fascinated
by the potentials of the instru-
ment but regards it strictly as a
hobby. She is completely willing
to teach the necessary techniques
to anynoe interested, and, already,
has ‘acquired a number of enthus-
iastic disciples, .Each time she
practices on Pembroke green the
circle of interested spectators
grows larger. Who knows?—one
day bullwhips may rival even hula-
hoops on the Bryn Mawr campus.

or work basket. But just cross one
of the city’s central thoroughfares,
leave the French speaking popu-
lace and enter the tortuous me-
dina. One is transported back
through the centuries; knowing
the Arabs’ dread fear of the “evil
eye” one leaves the camera behind.
In this narrow and confined area,
hundreds continue to exist and mul-

tiply. Disease, filth, and poverty
rear their frightful heads ‘in all
directions; fly-covered slabs. of.
meat dangle from the stalls, while
the omnipresent blind beggar ag-
gressively’ thrusts forward his
hand, and the laden donkey tram-
ples the open wares, Yet in the
midst of this remarkable street
scene something pleasant assail§
the nose; it is no doubt the mint
tea that is being brewed in some
corner alleyway.
Eleanor Roosevelt Initiates
Reforms

The initiative taken by Eleanor
Roosevelt, after a tour of Morocco,
resulted in action—‘La Nouvelle
Medina” a “housing project” of
sorts was recently completed. And
there are other such evidences of
progress. Basically Morocco must
bolster her economic position by
increasing exports of her main
“resource,” her marvelous rugs
and copper and brass wares. Po-
litically, there are indications of
the paths she will follow. For one
thing, it is questionable how much
longer any American military will
be on Moroccan soil, for the origi-
nal agreement was made with the
French prior to the Moroccan in-
dependence in 1954. Now in 1958
the government of Mohammed V

is telling the Americans, “go
home.” Only last month our am-
bassador, in Rabat, agreed in

principle to a withdrawal, while
just two weeks ago, Morocco, with
Tunis, her sister state, joined ‘the
Arab League. From Suez to Gib-
raltar the world of Islam is stir-
ring—just how much of a “Suez



Line” Morocco will follows is still
unknown,
