Arts Council Proposed To Join Big
Five, Organize Separate Arts Program

By Gretchen Jessup and Pat Moran

Believing strongly in the impor-
tance of the creative arts in a lib-
eral arts college and feeling that
it is the students who must provide
a creative response to academic
theory and example, Undergrad
has ‘proposed the establishment of
an Arts Council.

The Arts Council would be one
of what would then be the Big Six.
Its general purpose would be to
make possible a strong program
for the creative, or “fine,” arts.
The arts would be able to present
a pattern of events and of individ-
ual opportunity comparable in
scope to these now given for po-
litical affairs, social work, and ath-
letics. In. form, the Arts Council
would: be an’ association “for the
mutual benefit of autonomous
clubs.

The clubs proposst as members
of the council are: the College The-
atre, the Chorus, the Chamber Mu-
sic Group, the Dance Club, the Or-
chestra, and the Revue. The idea
of the Arts Council has been dis-
cussed by each of the clubs and

approved by them and the Under-
grad Advisory Board.

The rebirth of the Chamber Mu-
sic Group, the addition of profes-
sional direction to College Thea-
tre, the success of the Revue, and
the long-continued excellence of the
Chorus are favorable factors in the
Council’s organization. Each of

these’ groups” is’ fifinly enough “es=7

tablished now to wish to work with
the others, and to be able to profit
from doing so. The clubs feel that
their present dependent and scat-
tered positions in Undergrad will
not allow them to do their best
work, or to accomplish their more
ambitious ideas. This in turn de-
nies them the more interested and
appreciative audience they could
have. It has been remarked that,
while freedom to work is an essen-
tial for the artist, still he profits
by having an organization behind
him, just as the playwright profits
from having the organization,
stage, actors, and direction of a
theater. The projected Arts’ Coun-
cil is that organization.

Maids And Porters Offer Pleasant

President Eisenhower was elect-
ed to a second term in office with
a landslide vote, carrying 41 states
with a total! of 457 electoral votes.
Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic
candidate, failed in his second bid
for the Presidéney, winning only
7 states with a total of 74 elector-
al votes.

President Eisenhower’s margin
of victory was thus even greater
than it had been in his overwhelm-
ing victory in 1952. That year
Eisenhower won 39 states, with
442-electoral votes; and Stevenson
won 9 with an electoral count of
89.

The Democrats have won control
of the House of Representatives,
and are leading in the race for con-
tYol of the Senate. At the time



More Consistent And Flexible System
Of Points Decided Upon By Undergrad

By Sylvia Hewitt
Undergrad Board

The point system has been re-
vised by the Undergrad, Board with
the subsequent approval of the Un-
dergrad Council. The revision was
undertaken in an effort to make
the system more consistent, and
slightly more flexible. The basic
premises of the system remain, as
before; that points are given for
elected offices to a girl as a guide,
both for her protection, and the
protection of the community. The
number of points has been ascer-
tained, according to how much ac-
tual time is consumed by the work
of the office, and also how much
personal responsibility is incurred
by the position. Thus the points
should serve to indicate to people
how much of such extra-curricular
activity they can undertake with-
out jeopardizing either their health
or academic work. Furthermore,
by setting the limit of points to be
carried by any girl, the system pre-
vents one person from having too
many important offices which
might be administered more prof-
itably by different girls.

Individual Decision

But because this decision lies ul-
‘imately with the individual, the
noint system is now more flex‘ble.
Previcusly, the limit to be held by
any person was 40 points, which
sometimes precluded a girl from
holding two offices, whose points
when added might total 42 or 43
points. In order to give people
more leeway, the new system. pro-
vides for a sliding scale between

verses, deserves mention for the
‘success achieved on a difficult and
demanding piece. ‘Roll, Jordan,

ing soprano adding a properly ex-
uberant note, was another out-
standing chorus number. “There
Is A Balm in Gilead”- featured

kus, whose voices, although light,
blended well together. The solo

they are temporary; and such

Elizabeth Bowen
Lectured Saturday

Elizabeth Bowen, British author-
ess, addressed a large group of
alumnae in the Music Room of
Goodhart Saturday evening on the
subject of Imagination. Herz,-talk,
a part of Alumnae Weekend, was
sponsored by the Friends of the
Library.

Miss Bowen considered imagina-
tion as it pertains to the ordinary
person’s experience, not simply as
it is confined to the creative artist.
Imagination is a quality inherent
in everyone; it illuminates the as-
sociations between ideas and the re-
lations between people.

In a largely factual world imag-
ination is an important factor, not
as a way of transport from the
world but as an integral part of a
scientific society. It should color
all forms of writing. It is as vital
to intellect, to exposition, as in-
tellect must be to imagination and
fiction.

Imagination is a writer’s quality
in that it cannot be useful until one
learns to articulate. The difficulty
of expression is the crystallization
of nebulous ideas. Language, and

ture, must know how to expand
and how to limit, how to compass
in the small space of a book a great
part of the world’s heritage in ex-
periences and ideas.

The lecture was followed by a
discussion period in which Miss
Bowen answered questions chiefly

perience as. a writer.

Elizabeth Bowen has been ap-
pointed Lucy Martin Donnelly Fel-
low and will be residing at the

Deanery during the month of No-

vember both to pursue her own
work and to consult with students
‘who are interested in writing.



the News went to press (1:30 p. m.
Wednesday), the Democrats had
won 224 House seats, and were
leading in 8 undecided races. The
Republicans had won 193 seats,
and were leading in 10. This’ means
a probable line-up of- Democrats
232, an Republicans 208.

In the Senate, the Democrats
have won 17 seats, the Republicans
15, .The Democrats are leading in
two races, Sen. Clements in Ken-
tucky and Sen. Bible in Nevada.
The Republicans are leading in the
other undecided race, where Sen.
Case is ahead in South Dakota. The
probable division in the Senate is
Democrats 50, and Republicans 46.
Thus “the Democrats have picked
up one Senate seat, as the present
count in the Senate is 49 Demo-
crats and 47 Republicans. —

Joseph Clark, Jr., former Mayor
of Philadelphia, defeated Republi-
can incumbent James Duff in the
Pennsylvania Senatorial race.

In the crucial Oregon Senatorial
race, incumbent Democrat Wayne
Morse defeated former Secretary
of Interior Douglas McKay.

The ‘Republicans lost Senate
seats in New York and Kentucky,
where Republicans Javits and Coo-
per triumphed over Wagner and
Wetherby, respectively.

In other close Senatorial races,
Republican Dirksen defeated Dem-

_|ocrat Stengel in Illinois, to retain

his seat, and ‘Warren Magnuson
defeated Republican Arthur Lang-
lie in the state of Washington.

In the Presidential race, the most
recent count of the popular vote
showed Eisenhower with 31,040,423,
and Stevenson with 22,684,965. Eis-
enhower had thus polled 57.8%
of the popular vote, and Stevenson
42.2%.

Stevenson carried only seven
states, all in the ‘solid’ South. He
took the electoral votes of Ala-
bama, Arkansas,:: Louisiana, ..Mis-
sissippi, North Carolina, and South
Carolina.

In 1952 Stevenson carried those
states, Kentucky and West Vir-
ginia. His electoral vote total was
15 less this year than in 1952.

Election returns last night show-
ed Eisenhower consistently run-
ning 5 to 7% ahead of his party.
This was the first election year in
the twentieth century when the
country elected a president from
one party and a congress from the
other.

Voting was heavy throughout
the nation as the voters cast their
approval of Eisenhower’s policies
in the past four years. Stevenson

Eisenhower Wins

We view the re-election of Dwight D. Eisenhower to the
Presidential office with mingled feelings of regret and resig-
nation. We regret that Adlai E. Stevenson will not be given
the opportunilty to prove his capacity as Chief Executive of
the United States and that the Democratic Party will not be
able to give active leadership to a country which has missed

_it during the last four years. é '
We are resigned to Eisenhower’s second term in office
because, while there has been little real progress under his
leadership, there have been no disastrous relapses in the
country’s domestic welfare as a result of the Republican
policy. Although the administrative record has been disap-
pointing, the Republicans have had only four years to prove
themselves and may conceivably demonstrate more resolute
leadership than they have been able to in the past.

’ The influence of-the-crisis in the Middle East on this
year’s election cannot be ignored. The people demonstrated
a natural reluctance to establish a new government in the
face of grave danger. This is ironical, for the Republican
Administration is partly responsible for the present crisis.

Although we think Stevenson’s charge that the present

crisis is wholly the result of Eisenhower’s poor foreign pol-
icy is exaggerated, the current disaster has certainly been
aggravated by indecisive foreign policy towards the Middle
East. We agree with Stevenson’s statement of November 2
that “had it (the Eisenhower Administration) aided Israel
with arms and territorial guarantees we might .. . have been
able to prevent the present outbreak of hostilities. If this
government had not alternately appeased and provoked Egypt
-.. we would command more confidence there and in the Arab
world.”
We hope that Eisenhower and his administration will
not continue spreading platitudes and doing nothing, but will
carefully reevaluate their policies both in domestic and for-
eign affairs, especially in the latter. The United States is
now placed in the unfortunate position of having to censure
British and French action in the Middle East while it joins
with these countries in protesting against the action of the
Soviet. Union in Hungary.

Though these matters are, complex, we feel that a more
clearly defined attitude on the part of the United States to-
wards the UN, our allies and the Soviet Union would help to
restore international equanimity. We hope for a White House
conference on integration and serious consideration of Stev-
enson’s proposal to cease hydrogen bomb experimentation.

We wish the country had chosen Stevenson and the
Democrats but as it has not, we can only hope for improve-
ments in the next four yeras of the Eisenhower administra-
tion.

The Middle East

Over the past week the Middle East has reached its most
fateful points since the establishment of the State of Israel
nine years ago. Whatever else occurs, Israel’s move on Oc-
tober 29 thrust before the United Nations a_problem it had
. too long tried to evade. There cannot be an indefinite armed
truce in the Middle East; there must be true peace, based on
ition, by every member of the world organization,
of Israel’s exis independent nation.

The fact that this recognitién has-not-been forthcoming





and the fact that Nasser has been committing acts of ag-

gression (economic and propaganda aggression against Eng-
land and France as wellas repeated small scale military acts
of aggression against Israel) makes the situation more com-
plex than a simple right and wrong, and makes a complete
study and solution of the problem by the United Nations im-
verative.
On Monday,
_ atroo invaded Egypt’s Sinai peninsula and in.a success-
ful tary operation marched swiftly to cut off the penin-
-gula from the rest of Egypt. On Tuesday of that week Eng-
land and France isued an ultimatum to Israel and Egypt, de-
_ manding their withdrawal from the canal and acceptance of
rench occupation of key canal points. Wednesday,

Jing military operations against Egyptian territory; .

October 29, Israeli armored fortes and par- |.

BE
when that ultimatum was rejected, British bombers launch-
ed an offensive against Egyptian airfields in preparation for
the actual invasion of the canal area. :

On Friday morning, after a deadlock in the Security
Council on Thursday, the General Assembly passed q resolu-
tion introduced by the United States, stating: “Noting the
disregard. on many occasions by parties to the Israeli-Arab

_jarmistice agreements of 1948 of the terms of such agree-

ments, and that the armed forces of Israel have penetrated
deeply into Egyptian territory in violation of the general
armistics agreement between Egypt and Israel; noting that
armed forces of France and the United Kingdom are conduct-
.. urg-
es as a matter of priority that all parties now involved in ed
tilities in the area agree to an immediate cease-fire and as
part thereof halt the movement of military forces and arms
into the area.”

This cease-fire order was rejected by England, France
ag Israel, though all three have since conditionally accepted
it. ‘

We cannot condone the Israeli action of invasion of
Egyptian territory. Nor can we condone the British and
French attempt te—reoccupy—and/or protect the Suez Canal
by use of force. The forces of nationalism cannot be stopped
by armed force, and nothing has strengthened the position
of Nasser in the Middle-East, and weakened the position of
all the Western nations in Asia as much as the British and
French move to invade the canal area.

At the same time — and must understand the mo-
‘tives under which these nations acted. As the New York
Times said in its editorial on November 1, “It would be ridic-
ulous to permit Colonel Nasser to pose before the United
Nations of the world as the innocent victim of aggression,
or to hold a protecting hand over him. On the contrary, in
so-faras there-is any one man guilty of aggression it is the
Egyptian President, for he has waged war against Israel,
Britain and France by propaganda, by gun-running, by infil-
tration of murderous bands, by stirring up rebellion in French

ping a treaty in the same manner in which Hitler marched
into the Rhineland, by blocking the canal for Israeli shipping
in defiance of United Nations orders—finally by his whole
loudly proclaimed. program of throwing Israel into the sea
in alliance with other Arab states and creating an Arab em-
pire.”

The world at present is faced with a dynamic situation
and working through the UN we can achieve a basis for a
lasting peace in the Middle East. First, in relation to the
Suez Canal, that waterway, as well as all other world water-
ways like the Panama Canal, should be put under interna-
tional control to assure free passageway to all nations at all
times. At the same time Egypt and French troops must be
withdrawn from Egyptian soil.

Secondly, a permanent: peace must be negotiated be-
tween the Arab States and Israel and the boundaries of Israel
must be securely protected against marauders by a United
Nations force. Nasser must realize the falseness of his state-
ment, “Israel: is an artificial state which must disappear.”
Israel has stated a willingness to aid financially in the reset-.,
tlement of the Arab refugees, who left voluntarily when Is-
rael was declared a nation. This willingness to help has not
been matched by. the Arab states for whom these refugees
serve as a ready armed force, constantly serviceable to har-
rass the state of Israel. These refugees must be cared for
and the UN peace force now being formed can be used to
maintain peace in the area until peace can maintain itself.
This force is one of the great milestones in the history of
the world for it can help to prevent the aggression in self-
defense which is, like all aggression, a destroyer of world
peace. ;

Hungary

: In comparison with the complexity of the issues involved
in the Middle East crisis, the problem of Soviet repression in
Hungary seems a much more black and white case to most
Americans. This is probably true partly because Western
nations are more emotionally involved in the fight against
totalitarianism, just as Asian nations fear primarily West-
ern imperialism, and therefore are moved more by the Suez
crisis than by the Hungarian Revolution.
But today, the Hungarian Revolution which had started
out so bravely and so successfully two weeks ago, has been
almost extinguished by Soviet force, and no expressions of
sympathy or noble words are going to be of much help. The
Western nations have failed the people of Hungary, and the
problem now is to determine why this was so and how it can
be avoided in the future. Despite the United Nations inves-
tigation of Soviet repression, it may be too late to save Hun-
gary, at least for the present; it should not be too late to
protect Poland and the other satellite countries, where t
desires for freedom and for nationalism are becoming ever
stronger. +.

_ There is general agreement that had it not been for the
British-French invasion of Egypt, Russia would not have so
suddenly and violently repressed the Hungarian Revolution.
The Suez crisis meant that the Western Alliance was divided
‘as-it-had-never-been-before- (a-division. which was as much
the responsibility of the United States as of her allies) : that
the British and French military strength was occupied in the
Middle East , and that. world public opinion couldnot condemn
Russia when it was already concerned with what it consid-
ered a manifestation of English and French imperialism in
Africa and Asia.

* Harold Callendar, in an article in the Times of November
16, peEnaes sums up the challenge that the United Nations
must face: “The West should close its ranks by creating with-
: : ; oy y ng
in the North Atlantic Alliance a unity it has never had and
has not even striven very hard to get. If this unity were at-
tained, Soviet sins in Hungary and elsewhere might prove
less frequent.” | ie = ae

Of College Scientist

of the many responses received by
members of the Bryn Mawr Science
department in reaction to their let-
ter in the New York Times Octo-
ber 28.

Dr. Jane Oppenheimer
Bryn Mawr College
Bryn Mawr, Pa.
Dear Dr. Oppenheimer:

I read your letter to the editor

filled with a tremendous sense of
gratitude and respect for you and
the others at Bryn Mawr who took
it upon themselves to make this
statement. epee

‘I am in no position to judge the

scientific merits of your letter. I
must take what you say in faith
as I must take what ‘Libby says on
faith. In light of this I look to-
ward the scientist to help protect
us from our own ignorance.

I am distressed by the apparent
indifference of so many of our
scientists. I showed your letter
to a chemist friend who worked at
Oak Ridge. His reaction was, “Oh,
these people are just a bunch of
internationalists. I know a lot like
them.” And he went on, “The
trouble with all these people is
that they are a hundred years
ahead of their time.”

I’m inclined to feel that we had .
better well be a hundred years
ahead of our time or there may be
no hundred years ahead. And I’m
looking to the scientist with the
help of his knowledge and his mor-
al maturity to help bridge the gap
—at least a hundred years wide—
between our scientific understand-
ing and our social understanding.

World Looks to the United States
For International Leadership Today

By Kirsten Ohm

(Graduate Student)
Norway

Whatever will be the result of
the American election, one thing
is sure; from all over the world
people are, in these days of great
international crises, looking to the
United States for the political lead-
ership this. country. has. not. yet
been able to give. And the need
for it has never been more des-
perate than at this moment.

Let us here analyze the interna-
tiona] situation as it is today, giv-
ing particular attention to a dis-
cussion of an eventual future for-
eign policy of the United States.
And by so doing, let us leave the
moral judgment to history and con-
centrate on the hard facts and the
underlying causes that—how much
we might wish them to be differ-
ent—are our only key to any real
and just solution.

France and Israel have violated in-
ternational law; but let us not for
a moment forget that the interna-
tional law we all want to see rule,
was not capable of defending the
most vital interests of these coun-
tries. Those who: stamp these

- countries as aggressors, should do

well in remembering that there are
other means of aggression in mod-
ern warfare than direct military
attack, and that Nasser is an ex-
pert in all of them. And those who
blame these three countries alone
for what has happened, would do
more justice to the case of moral-
ity by tracing back the causes of
the explosion in the Middle East
to two of its main sources: on the
one hand, a complete failure from
the side of the United States in
leading a consistent, mature for-
eign policy which her allies could
rely upon; on the other hand, the
failure of the United Nations to
give protection to a country it it-
self had ¢reated.

The motivation for the actions
of the countries concerned were the
following: Nasser has openly de-
clared that his political aim No. 1
is the total destruction of Israel.
Israel knew, especially when Egypt
seemed to get full possession of
the Suez Canal and Nasser contin-
ued to send murderous bands into
the country, that it was only a
matter of time when they would
have to meet their final fate

against a united Arab world. There

could be no other solution because
Nasser continued to refuse to give
the country a genuine peace-solu-
tion and continued to block the ca-
nal for Israeli shipping in defiance
of a United Nations arder. Israel’s

- attack on Egypt canetherefore be

seen as a right to self-preservation,
which is also one of the principles
upon which the United Nations is
built.
Great Britain and France were
_fully aware of the threat Nasser
represents to the peace in the Mid-
dle East. The future of Israel, the
final fate of. Nasser and the solu-
tidn of the Suez Canal problem are
questions of greatest importance to
these countries. This can easily be
understood when one knows that
Great Britain gets three-quarters
of her oil through the canal, oil
without which the country cannot
economically survive. And France,
having trouble in trying to solve

her problems-in Algeria, feels.that.
_ Nasser’s, stirring up of rebellion

here makes the solution of these
problemseven more difficult.

This is the background against
which the actions of the last weeks
must be seen, when the United

——$tates now, at long last, will have

to make up its mind as to what
her
_ are. Among these, two are of pre-
dominant importance. The first is
to preserve the unity in the west-
ern world. The second one is to

international political goals

seek the friendship of the éountries
of Asia and Africa. There are two
reasons for this latter goal. The
first one is “idealistic,” represent-
ed by a growing realization that
we should stop preaching the po-
litical ideals of our civilization and
start to practice them toward the
colonial: world. The second reason
is a “realistic”? one. In a world
where the major “enemies” are
about equal in military strength,
it is these so-called “uncommitted”
countries of the world that will
constitute the decisive factor in the
balance between east and west.

The United States has hitherto
completely failed in its foreign pol-
icy in both these respects. It has
confused its allies with its policy.
They have at long last felt they
could not rely upon the United
a. And it has not accepted
the challenge °from the new Rus-
sian “conciliation” policy toward
Asia and Africa. You do not win

‘these countries “by any “prink-or-)

war” theory, by continued tests of
nuclear weapons in spite of the
demand of the whole of Asia and
Africa to end them, or by contin-
ued refusal to recognize Commu-
nistic China. You do not win them
only with military-pact policy or
with economic help, connected with
political ties.

And yet—in spite of these con-
tinued failures — the cards have
been played into the hands of the
United States. The country has

American Voting
Seen By Student

By Carmen Ravara ’58
Portugal

‘What strikes me as most praise-
worthy and wonderful about the
elections here, is that everybody
seems so personally concerned with
them, and so many people want to
work for their candidate, although
they are not old enough to vote. I
am ashamed to say that in my
country, Portugal, elections go by
almost unnoticed, owing to the po-
litical ignorance of the people.

‘Even ‘the simple fact that almost
every girl under twenty-one at
Bryn Mawr knows in her mind
whom she wants for a President,
would be enough :to astound me.

On the other hand, there is the
inevitable reverse side of the coin.
People will tell me that they want
Eisenhower or Stevenson for Pres-
ident, but few are able to explain
exactly why. They seem to choose
their candidate rather on a basis
of personal sympathy for a man
(because he is an intellectual and
makes beautiful speeches; because
he is such a sensible, practical man,



‘and Knows 80 Much wouut Durop-

ean affairs) than according to
party policies. In ‘fact, they seem
to think that Democratic and Re-
publican policies are very much the
same thing—which I doubt.

I wonder if: the President in
America has really so much pow-
er that it should be more im-
portant to people to choose the
right man than to choose the right
party? Or are they just ignorant
about the fundamental differences
between the ideals of the two
parties ?

November 6, 1956 is a part of
history. Now sites of active cam-
paign headquarters will revert to
vacant stores, extravagant propa-
ganda material will be considered
30 much useless rubbish, and dis-
appointed overwrought supporters
can sit back, and prepare to wait
patiently féf that reversal in 60.
College campuses which have been
deeply immersed in politicking, ed-
itorializing and the like can extri-
cate themselves from the muddle
of national controversy and con-
centrate on more localized crises.
It is in an effort to recapture
something of that pure academic
spirit that we have culled ‘data
from the various exchange publi-
cations.

In the Haverford News the ed-
itorial, “Thoughts on Admission”,
was topical and controversial. The

ing future students; the present
student body was selected ‘“accord-
ing to the following criteria: geo-
graphical distribution; academic
preparation; balance between stu-
dents from public and independent

probable future vocation; economic
cross-section; diversification of re-
ligious background and belief; va-
riety in extra-curricular interests
including athletics ...

“The present admission policy
seems to be one of choosing stu-
dents whose composite results in
a 120 member “Whole Man’ class.’
“But the question remains—

an excellent student and a good
student — ‘Whole Man’, * which
should she admit? :

“We submit that if Haverford
is going to earn the right to keep
‘an outstanding student body, if she
is going to merit the approval of
leaders in the academic world,
shouldn’t she adopt future admi
sion standards which are sere

‘The Composite Whole Man’ in se-

them expand to meet the needs of
a rising crop of ‘whole men’. If
Haverford is to remain small, she
must use other methods of selec-
tion which do not necessarily pro-
duce a ‘balanced class’—but those
which produce a true community
of scholars. If these scholars have
had excellent extra-curricular rec-
ords, as most will have, so much
the better. But shouldn’t we leave
to other schools the selection of a
boy because he is president of his
senior class, yearbook editor, or
National Honor Society member?
Shouldn’t our criteria be one of
genuine scholarship?”

The paper recognized the com-
plexity of the subject. and urged

ni, Faculty, Administration and

Judging from an item in the
Barnard Bulletin problems are not
a phenemena confined to sub-fresh-
men and admission boards; life is
complicated even at an exalted
upperclass stage. “Life is a Jun-

Shabandar Finds
In Mid-East Confused, Paradoxical

by Chida Shabandar, ’5
Iraq

If we cast a look at the world
arena today we see that very few
sections indeed are not brewing
with troubles and not involved in
crisis. To solve the acute problems
a new policy is needed, a policy
which is as firm as it is fair, as
effective as it is peaceful.

Today the Middle East presents
a grave and dangerous problem
and those statesmen and politicians
who are viewing the developments
there retlizethat-the-situation is
too complicated to be solved by any
of the policies followed today The
policies of the United Nations,
United States, Great Britain,
France and even Russia have prov-
ed ineffective and have aggravated
the complications occurring there.

The decision taken in the United
Nations in 1947 to partition Pales-
tine’ into a Jewish section and an
Arab section has» spark-cf this _hnge fire. Ineffective
Western policy has fed this fire
throughout the years until it
reached the explosive condition it
is in today. The great human injus-
tice done in Palestine will never be
forgotten and the cries of suffering
and misery arising from the Arab
refugees will always be heard and
will leave a permanent: blood stain
on the pages of history. Israel was
not, is not and will never be a part
of the Middle East. Ever since its
birth it has proved itself to be an
aggressive and offensive country.

The creation of Israel was an
outright violation of the princi-
ples of international and human
laws. Its history has been stained
by all kinds of criminal, bloody
and aggressive acts against its
Arab neighbors. Its claim to de-
mocracy is shattered by the Zion-
ists’ declaration of their racial and
religious superiority and by the
two-class system they maintain in
Israel in which the Arabs, being
the second class, have to live un-
der military rule.

Yet despite all that, Western and
especially American aid has flowed
continuously into Israel. The Unit-
ed States, the great champion of
democracy and justice, alienated
the Arab nations by sending eco-
nomic and military help to Israel,
continuously coming to its aid in
all kinds of matters and situations.
It. defended Israel in the United
Nations, and always supported the
claims of the Zionists publicly or
privately. America declares that it
is helping to build a new demo-
cratic state, yet America pushes to
the background and tends to forget

‘the grave problem of the Arab ref-

ugees and their miserable condi-
tion. The West and the United
States are shocked by the Egyptian
attacks made on marauding Israeli
forces but they are not concerned
with hundreds of harmless and un-

American Policy

armed farmers and villagers who
are the victims of Israeli assaults.

American foreign policy in the
Middle East: has been one of con-
tradiction. America champions lib-
erty and sovereignty yet it aids
the -enemies_of those principles,
namely England and France, who
have done everything except apply
those ideals in the Middle East and
other sections of the world. The
United States preaches political
freedom on the Voice of America
yet it sends helicopters and arms
to.France-to-suppress-the-Algerian:
Nationals who are fighting for
their freedom and_ sovereignty. .
Thus, by all those actions the Unit-
ed States has lost the trust, respect
and friendship of the Arab nations.

Today, regarding the grave sit-
uation of the world, the United
States, being a leader, should at-
tempt to base its policies on the
principles which it has adopted in
the Declaration of Independence
and which’it advocates at the pres-

high ideals which it values and try
again to gain the respect and affec-
tion, of those who once admired
her so much.

New Books To Go
To Libraries In Halls

Long-neglected hall libraries will
ibe revised and supplemented by the
Library Council in the near future.
An attempt will be made to pro-
vide each hall with the most wide-
ly-used books, thus relieving the
pressure on the Reserve Room.

‘Acting on the suggestion of the
Undergrad Association, the Coun-
cil is compiling a list of the books
most in demand in cooperation with
the Ourriculum Committee and
Miss Agnew, librarian. Reference
books and Freshman English liter-
ature will be included. The exam
files will also be brought up to
date.

Hall librarians will be elected
to supervise the use of books and
to work with the Library Council.
They will also be responsible to
Undergrad, and will-be paid by the
Library for their services.

A system of cataloguing and
distributing of books has as yet to
be devised. Dorothy Innes, chair-
man of the Council, would welcome
any suggestions and ideas for the
plan in general and the books you
would like to have. .

perhaps it is just another manifes-
tation of the desire to conform?

From The Trinity Tripod comes
news of a non-credit, free-of-charge

reading course to improve speed.
From The Bowdoin Orient a pessi-

mistic note: “It is too hard to get
an education ... What does it’ all
mean? ... It would ‘appear that

there is welling up a wave of anti-
intellectifilism in the heart of in-

jstitutions which are supposed to

be supplying the intellectual stim-
ulus” to our country.” This is~a
dreadful commentary .on a society
already too much concerned with
the cheap and tawdry, with getting
rich quick and staying that way

“We have seen the intellectual
free thinker not only attacked but
literally ostracized by his compan-
ions. (We suppose they seem
strange because they enjoy par-
taking of an education which is ‘too
hard’ for others. Maybe they are
strange because they actually go
to classes instead of spending their

ttime fignring out. excuses to avoid

them.”

‘Finally, an item in The Daily
Pennsylvanian reminded us of our
recent acquisition of one sarcopha-
gus. “In a dark closet on the top
floor of Houston Hall ,a tombstone
bearing the information, ‘Esther A.
Warner; Died January 29, 1863;
Age 56 years’, was unearthed from
its rather musty surroundings.”
The incident was interpreted as a

Movies: .
War and Peace

by Eleanor Winsor

War and Peace has come to the
screen as-one of the best advertis-
ed, most discussed films of the past
few years. Perhaps its publicity,
even more than the familiarity of

_its subject, is responsible for the

fact t most eyes now upon it
are. critivtal. Yet\the care taken
in the-film of the movie and the

selection of the cast seemed to
promise something quite above the
level of a marathon spectacle.

Also it is disappointing that,
since one cannot praise the picture
as an ifiterpretation of Tolsoy,
one-cannot,on_the.other hand, find
heinous faults to criticize. War and
Peace boasts chiefly an all-around
mediocrity.

Tolstoy’s novel is a book cram-
med with characters pursuing in-
tensely complicated lives. The
movie version is too concerned with

- building from these complications
a skeletal plot to consider padding
the framework for the sake of in-
terest in itself. The scope of the
novel has not been ignored; the pic-
ture rushes from battlefield to ball-
room with an incredible speed and
lack of transition. There is a
“classic comic-book” succession of
seenes..cut..and.spliced which con-
trive to put across the narrative,
but which follow each other too
closely and quickly for any one
alone to have much significance.



As a non-talking movie, ‘this
would have been a superb series
of illustrations. For physical ap-
pearance at least, most of, the
characters were well chosen. The
loss of personal depth came with

their heroic efforts to paraphrase |

their fictional prototypes. Audrey
Hepburn was an attractive and well
costumed Natasha, but her concep-
tion of the role seemed to involve
little but an ability to flit about
and perch gracefully on fences,
horseback and baleonies, None of
her three love affairs was motivat-
ed by anything more than charm-
ing flirtation.

Despite his efforts..to_.convince
an audience of his unattractiveness,
Henry Fonda was not an incompe-
tent Pierre. His character does
seem to expand and realize itself
in the course of the picture. In
his“duel scene, in his confused wan-
dérings over the battlefield, and in
his captivity he is almost as cred-
ible and moving as the Pierre of
the novel, achieving even some
sense of spiritual growth.

Prince Andrey is cadaverously
and impersonally romantic, but not
even the -cross-blending of solilo-
quy and sub-conscious narrative
used to convey his inner medita-
tions can make him fascinating;
the scene of his death which is for
a moment skillfully handled soon
degenerates.

War and Peace cannot easily be
dismissed as a failure; somehow it
has managed to create a world of
its own that preserves a haunting
refusal to fit into that category.

Harvard Behavior
Expert to Lecture

On Friday, November 9, the
Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore Chap-
ters of the Society of Sigma Xi
will present Dr. B. F. Skinner
(Harvard University), in a lecture
on the “Experimental Analysis of
Behavior.”

Dr. Skinner, a Guggenheim Fel-
low and William James lecturer at
Harvard, is the inventor of the con-
troversial: “mechanical baby tend-
er, crib in
which he raised one of his own chil-
dren, and author of several dis-
tinguished books—in—the—field..of
psychology, among them the “Be-
havior of Organisms” (1938), and
Behavior”

”

an air-conditioned

“Science and Human
(1953).
Dr. Skinner’s principal field of

interest is the “verbal behavior”
of humans, in which he conducted
an advanced course at Columbia
during the summer of 1947. Fri-
day’s lecture will be somewhat re
lated to this field, with an examin-
ation of the verbally “emitted”
(rather than “elicited’”) responses
to stimuli, the role of learning in
operant behavior, and the effect of

|variables upon the rate of such

behavior,



The lecture will be held at 8:30
p.m. in Goodhart Hall.



Middle East Conflict Now Challenges _

today its chance to remove itself
from the burden of European co-
lonialism and to follow its own
way, taking into consideration the
two goals mentioned. Now it has
a somewhat better position than
before to start from. In the eyes
of the world the United States has
clearly shown that theirs is a way
of peace, not of war. This gives
the U.S. a bridge of understand-
ing with Asia and Africa. The
country has also the economic
strength, which Great Britain and
France no longer have, to lead a
more positive policy toward the co-
tonial—world.——From..the_point_ of
view of unity in the western world,
it was also wise of the United
States, in its attitude toward the
so-called “aggressors,” to use the
General Assembly, not as a tri-
bunal to judge, but as an organ
for mediation.

But this 1s not enough. The time
has come for constructive thinking,
and for going to the root of the
problems. They can no longer re-
main unsolved. And the solution
must do justice to all parties in-
volved.

The Middle East conflict will be
a test of the United States’ capa-
bility to’ find a solution that ‘will
serve its two,.apparently contra-
dictory, goals; in other words, to

demands of the parties involved.
The main problem here is the ques-
tion of the internationalization of
the Suez Canal. It is being felt
more and more that in our world
of growing interdependence, of
greater common problems and of a
more or less common fate, the wa-
terways should—like the ocean—be-
long to the world at large, because
of their importance to all nations.
The “older” countries are starting
to realize that the concept of “sov-
ereignty” should’ be silentlydrop-
ped or redefined so as to give a
more correct picture of the real
international situation. But how
can you tell a country like Egypt,
havingjust., started to learn the
old meaning of the world “sover-
eignty,” that to give away the con-
trol of the Suez-Canal—for them
the symbol of colonialism and deg-
redation—does not imply a humil-
iation of themselves as a nation?

It seems to me that only by the
internationalization of all water-
ways, including the Panama Canal,
can any demand against Egypt be
justified. This would be the only
way of making the country under-
stand that the creation of a real
international control over the canal
would not imply a new form for
colonialism. If Nasser then: still
would be unwilling to~uv~ sv; ws
world would at least have a strong-
er reason for believing that his
motivations in this case are not so
much pure national aspirations as
power politics, with the canal as
an important tool.

Along with internationglization
of the waterways must come the
creation of United Nations troops
to be stationed in the canal zones,
Such troops in the Suez area would
also be able to guarantee the bor-
ders of Israel, and the United’ Na-~
tions could then more effectively
deal with the many underlying
causes for the conflict between Is-
rae] and Egypt.

In deciding upon' such a foreign
policy, the United States should re-
member that as one cannot use one
international law against friends
and another against the rest of
the world—as President Eisenhow-
er put it— so one cannot either
have one standard of international
demands against oneself, and an-
other against the rest of the world.

Spiritual Concert.

Continued from Page 1

Backus, respectively.

“Ride the Chariot” showed good
balance between the chorus and
soloist Doris Richardson, whose
clear soprano was heard again in a
solo arrangement of “Oh, What A
Beautiful City”. “Joshua Fit the
Battle of Jericho” was well syn-
chronized, and Louis White gave
character and vitality to the solo
part.

The four Arcadia Jubilee Jun-
iors sang with a feeling for the
rhythmical nature of their gospel
songs and functioned well asa unit,
although the melodic line was oc-
casionally’ obscured. They were
called back for an encore, as was
Aloysius Mackey, whose powerful
renditions of “Deep River” and
“Water Boy” made up in richness
what they lacked in phrasing.

Alberta Williams was a win-
ning figure with her pink dress
and shy curtsey, and her gentle
“Sweet Little Jesus Boy” met with
tremendous applause. Doris Gay-
mon’s interpretation of “Were
You There?” was sensitive and
moving, and her voice was rich and
pure. “Poor Me”, sung by Fred
Gaymon, and “Nobody Knows the
Trouble I’ve Seen”, by Irvin Lew-
is, were well-timed and touchingly
simple. An unfortunate, rather

detached acompaniment tiviractod y-.

from Margaret’-Greer’s soprand in
“Sometimes I Fee] Like A Mother-
less Child”.

Louis White’s humorous presen-
tation of “How Lucy Backslid,”
written by Paul Lawrence Dunbar,
added variety to the evening.

Dearls Before - - -

Election Day has come and gone
— not without the assistance of
politically-minded Bryn Mawrters
whose last pictorial contribution to
the election scene on campus was
the result of what we assune to
be a bi-partisan effort. Over the
main entrance to the Library, in
niches ordinarily reserved for dead
leaves and, other natural phenom-
ena,. the two candidates for Presi-
dent put in a personal appearance
(in effigy).

From a distance it was difficult
to tell who was who, or rather

which was which, since both wore|]-

identical navy blue suits (courtesy
of the class of ’58 or ’60, no doubt).
Upon closer inspection, however,
the identity of each candidate was
established. (We wonder how much
of the similarity between the two
effigies was a result of symbolism
and how much was due to the pres-
sure of circumstances!)



Both candidates beamed benign-
fy on all who came and went, and
if their respective smiles seemed
forced at times we must remember
the discomfort of their position—
suspended by a rope in a cramped
niche.

Beneath them was a banner upon
which the words. “Optimum Dili-
gite” were inscribed in large red
and blue letters. This must have
