_ Welch Cites

Picketers Atteni

by Arlene Belkin and Ellen Gorman

In the course of a routine evening
picketing in. Philadelphia, two Bryn
Mawr liberals decided to discover if
they were justifiably urging people to
stay away from a meeting of the
John Birch Society. After specially
invited guests were seated, admit-
tance to the! “secret” meeting was
granted to interested students with
the admission fee of $1.00. The
speaker of the evening was none oth-
er than Robert Welch, founder and
prime mover of the Society—“one of
the most effective weapons of the
Americanist arsenal.”

Com-Symps

Welch proceeded to describe the
“flight to amorality” in the U. S.,
where the federal and some state gov-
ernments are already controlled by
communists or communist sympa-
thizers (com-symps). Communist
forces of evil, he said, are destroying
the spiritual values of our civiliza-
tion. Minimizing the possibility of
nuclear war, Welch spoke at length
on the psychological warfare skill-
fully used by the communists, and
the cause of their overwhelming suc-
cess, He reasoned that military war
between the two powers would inspire
simultaneous uprisings among all the
subjected peoples, whereas internal
subversion ih the controlling positions
in the American government would
accomplish communist objectives very
effectively.

The communists utilize the prin-
ciple of “reversal” to enlist the sup-
port of the unknowing American pub-
lic, Mr. Welch explained. One such
tactic is the spreading of catch-
phrases, illustrated by reference to
the ’52 Republican national conven-
tion: in spite of the recognized vote-
getting power of Taft, he did not
receive his party’s nomination. Welch
expostulated that the communists
were determined to stop Taft before

he -yéached -a~ more-powerful political.

position. They perpetrated the slo-
gan “I like Taft, but he can’t pos-

oe ~~ sibly win,”-designed,-on-one-hand-to-

concede to popular opinion, but, on
the other, to create a negative atti-
tude regarding the possibility of his
election. Final action was to be in
accord with communist aims, Mr.
Welch. cited the McCarthy hearings
of ’54 as a second example of the
principle of reversal. McCarthy was
effectively exposing communists in
key positions when they began the
slogan “I like what McCarthy is do-
ing, but I can’t stand his methods.”
Again they expressed a feeling of
the public, but caused it to act .ac-
cording to communist ends.

More Reversals

According to Welch, the American
people continually play into commun-
ist hands under the guise of fighting
communism. Foreign aid to Presi-
dent Sukarno was used, he said, to
suppress anti-communism in Indo-
nesia; the American public is con-
vinced that the U.N. is acting against
the wishes of the Soviet, while, in
reality, Dag Hammerskjold pronioted
war in peaceful Katanga, a province
led by a strong anti-communist. And
President Betancourt of Venezuela, a
life-long communist, is presented as
a Democrat to the American people.

Welch expostulated on the “lie of
human history,” the presentation of
communism as a movement of the
downtrodden proletariat, while, actu-
ally, the totalitarian system is im-
posed by the top of society onto the
“suffering. masses whose conditions

Infiltration;
Doubt

are always made worse.” It is a
system for the. benefit of the rich,
the well-educated and the political-
ly powerful. Stalin was a rare excep-
tion. Welch described Czechoslovakia,
a. well-educated and _ industrialized
country, as the easiest one for. the
communists to take over. And it is
those people in the high social, eco-
nomic and political circles in the
USA, he added, who are the commu-
nists here, the largest single body be-
ing in the Protestant ministry. Prac-
tically all the key positions in the
US government are occupied by com-
symps. This government is the most
powerful force supporting the com-
munist advance, while it pretends to
hinder this advance. Welch said that
Marx and ‘Lenin’s god of hatred is
becoming the universal ideal in the
affairs of men, as communist ‘subver-
sion continues to spread.

The American people. must no
longer avoid their responsibility, he
went on. They must make amends
“for their sins of omission and decide
whether their children should wor-
ship the god of love instead of the
god of hatred.”—So sayeth Robert
Welch.

The soft-spoken and dignified Welch
presented the image of a well-to-do,
conservative businessman, an image

Between Extreme

Murray Kempton, New York
Post’ columnist, spoke under the
auspices of the Current Events
Club, on Monday evening, October
16.

Mr. Kempton devoved a large
portion of his talk to the reading
of an article which he had writ-
ten for Playboy magazine. The ar-

ticle dealt with the “possessed” of
American political life, the “pos-

much of their energies to ‘fanati-|
cal political causes, either of the
Left or of the Right.

Claiming that there had been a
recent resurgence of such groups
after the calm of the Eisenhower
era, Mr. Kempton characterized
the “possessed” mainly as “little
people,” who allow a “cause” to
permeate their lives. He feels that
such people are more representa-
tive of the “possessed” than, for
instance, Senator Joseph McCar-
thy, who had--less belief in a
“cause” than in his own political
future.

Mr. Kempton dwelt on the affi-
nity of the “possessed” of the Left-
ist and Rightist extremes. Both
factions believe in the presence of
a conspiratorial enemy; both fac-
tions vastly overestimate the pow-
ers of the opposition; both are at-
tracted by violence, even if they]:
seldom experience it; finally, both
are really quite conservative. Mr.
Kempton described the “pos-
sessed” as “dreary, anxious con-
formists.” After vivid descriptions
of several such people, Mr. Kemp-
ton concluded the article by ex-
pressing his gratitude that most
Americans dismiss the fanatical
“possessed” with the comfortable
assertion that “there are two
sides to every question.”

—Bryn Mawr

The architect who has been com-
missioned to build the new dor-
mitory for this campus is sche-
duled to speak at Bryn Mawr in
the near future. On October 28
Mr. Louis Kahn will address the
student body.

Mr. Kahn is considered one of
the most important successors of
Le Corbusier, Mies van der Roe,
and Frank Lloyd Wright, and one
of the few who have made impor-

tant inovations in the field of ar-
chitecture during the postwar
years.

Adhering to the philosophy that
“A good question is always better
than the most brilliant answer,”
and “The right thing badly done
is always greater than the wrong
thing well done,” Mr. Kahn has
evolved Kis work slowly, taking
time to question purposes. and
techniques. Although his progress
was initially somewhat unsteady,
he has now developed a sure mas-
tery of his work.

Medieval architecture appeals to
Mr. Kahn by its directness in at-
tacking a given need. On this ba-
sis, he can be called a functional-
ist, but a functionalist who always
has the aesthetic value of his work
in mind.

Committee Meets

jmonitoring system has been echo-

ing and rebounding from all cor-
ners of the campus during these
past few weeks. In order to chan-

nel these many and diverse opi-
nions into an effective framework
for action,.a committee has been
formed, composed of 2 to 3 mem-
‘bers electedfrom each hall. Last
Thursday this committee held an or-
ganizational meeting with Self-Gov.

~ |Our -purpose-is- bo present an ob- |

jective report to the administration
of arguments concerning the monitor-
ing system as a basis on which pos-
sible changes and modifications might
be considered and effected. The
means we have decided to employ are
student questionnaires, faculty inter-
views and a comparative study of the
monitoring systems of the other big
seven women’s colleges. The last
will be achieved through information

dents’ reactions to its effectiveness;, ©
As we see it now there are two
major problems, which, although
not unconnected, present. different
aspects to study. The first concerns
the present monitoring system; what
its purpose is and whether it is
effective to this end; if it is not
effective, why ‘not, and-how itcan
be made so. The second is more
general and may be far harder to
resolve. It is the question of whe-
ther it is necessary for the admin-
istration to keep a record of cuts,
send it to the faculty and restrict
a girl’s cuts if her marks fall. At
present it is not known if there is
even a correlation between cuts
and grades. Also the matter of cut-
pro will come under consideration.
The committee will have its sec-
ond meeting on October 16th to
begin its study. We hope by this
rational calm method perhaps to

however, one somehow felt reassured
that everything would end happily.

Welcome, Conservatives

The appearance of a new political group on campus will,
we feel, add considerable dimension to-our interest in and
view of world events. The Young Conservatives represent a

political philosophy to which

students here give too little

attention. By sponsoring speakers who favor conservatism
and contradict the theories of our many liberal organiza-
tions, the club can create controversy and stimulate many
to appraise what they consider to be indisputable points of

view.

Each of us is entitled to an individual opinion on politics
and current affairs; irfdeed it would be difficult to avoid form-
ing some sort of political opinion, however general, in this
era of mass communications. The fact of our accepting a be-

lief, however, does not give us the right to shut our eyes to
other points of view; rather it creates a duty for us to con-
trast our own theories with others in order to clarify and

‘ perhaps even change them.

The Young Conservatives, in maintaining and explain-
ing their feelings, will provide expression for those whose
sympathies lie with conservatism but who have previously
had no corporate voice, and will provide new contrast with
the viewpoints of other groups and individuals.

Farewell, Critters

As winter approaches and the predicted one hundred
inches of snow, the News salutes a doomed, but valiant cam-
pus group which has provided an inspiring challenge to all

residents of Bryn Mawr. This

group, renowned for.persever-

ance, provocation, and prolificness, has, in the last four weeks,
made remarkable inroads into every phase of college life—

and with human patience and

especially drawers and cupboards. It has vied with science

has found both deficient. _ It

has created better-housekeeping campaigns and has provided
aesthetic pleaure for those students who enjoy living pat-

terns on their walls. It has

furnished entertainment and

exercise for those who usually have nothing to do but to study
quietly. It has enabled release for the sadists, and, in some
cases, for the masochists among us.

We think you are supposed to migrate now.

|Gumpert Explains

N.S. A.’s Function;

Urges Cooperation

by Susan Gumpert

With scattered criticism and
some scepticism about Bryn Mawr’s
projected active participation in
the National Students ‘Association
it behooves me as NSA represen-
tative on this campus to present
the purpose and aims and to clar-
ify the function of. this organization
at Bryn Mawr as I see it.

There is no other student agen-
cy or organization on campus (be-
lieve it or not) which even pur-
ports to act as either clearing
house or liaison between Bryn Mawr
and the outside world. And the time
of ivory towers and ivy incarcer-
ration — if we are to be part of
our world today—is long gone.

Issues which concern students
through NSA are of the international,
national and campus-centered spe-
cies. Civil Rights is a big area
these days; I ‘receive mailings
weekly informing me of events in
this field and in particular of stu-
dent action and discussion.

Suppose, however, that an issue
came to my attention for which
there is no organ on campus, but
which might be of particular in-
terest to: students of Bryn Mawr.
Then it~ becomes the function of
NSA to inform, to gather campus
reaction and, if there is interest,
to set up an effective way of tack-
ling said issue. Or, it could work
the other way around: if one or
more students becomes interested
in some Cause, they can come to NSA.
Not only can NSA without compunc-
tion offer to start them out, but it
can furnish them with information
on what other students across the
country have been doing about the
Cause.

There is at present negotiation
among colleges in the area. for
an “area council” — to act as a
clearing house and as a means of
consolidation of action programs
in Philadelphia. This council, if it
is formed, would provide definite
lines of communication between
schools and_ students.

Finally, NSA sponsors the an-
nual Congress mentioned above.
This is the only national forum of
student opinion in the United
States, and it provides an oppor-
tunity for both the NSA represen-
tative and the Student Government

issues important to us as students,
to put on record the stancé of his
own college or university on each
issue, and to carry back to the
campus a report of what is hap-
pening in this world.

Kennedy Reissue
Studies Soporific

Pre-War England

by Sheila Bunker

Why England Slept by John Fitz- |

gerald Kennedy (Wilfred Funk,
$3.50) merits attention for sever-
al reasons. Originally published in
1940, it is, first of all, the work of
a Harvard senior who was to be-
come President of the United
States. It offers, moreover, by vir-
tue of its nearness in time, a lu-
cid view of a position now often
misunderstood because of interve-
ning sentiments: that of England
before World War II. Perhaps of
greatest importance is the fact
that it is an historical analysis of
present relevence—in reference to
the position of democracy today.
Why England.-Slept,as-the-title
implies, is a study of England’s
unpreparedness for war which,
when illustrated at Munich, caused
bitterness and censure in the Free
World. This bitterness, Kennedy
asserted in 1940, causes critics to
lose sight of the reasons.
Foremost of the causes of un-
preparedness, he states, was that
of England’s psychological atti-
tude toward armaments in the
1920’s and ’30’s. Because of the
recent Treaty of Versailles, the
Fourteen Points, and the Coven-
ant of the League of - Nations, the
British, during this period, sincere-
ly believed in the efficacy of paci-
fism.. Later, when’ aggression
threatened in the ’80’s, they still
hoped for the maintenance of
peace. When the need. for defense
became apparent, Britain delayed.
When the English public elected
the pacifist Labour Party in’1935,

they further hindered the process

of rearmament. Because prepara-
tions did not begin until 1936,
“Chamberlain could not have
fought,” Kennedy claims, “even if
he had wanted to.”

~ Kennedy asserts that the blame
for blind pacifism cannot be at-
tached solely to the leaders.

the desire of politically Conserva-
tive students to express their views
in what they believe to be an es-
sentially Liberal community. It
originated in order to ‘represent,
advocate and strengthen on the
campus certain political beliefs
which, its members feel, have not
heretofore been projected because
of a lack of organized effort. They
believe that all political camps wi 1
benefit from a clarification of Con-
servative views.

Foremost of conservative beliefs
is that of the importance of intel-
lectual freedom, i.e., the freedom
to pursue knowledge — from the
right political wing as well as
from the left.

Members of the new group ex-

pressed concern at the fact that
the Bryn Mawr Library does not
subscribe to either the National
Review or the Wall Street Jour-
nal and determined, as their first
order of business, to obtain sub-
scriptions of one or both for the
use in the Periodical Room. Be-
cause they feel the conservative
view is not adequately represent-
ed in the Library, they are now
collecting, in Room 220 Rhoads
South, literature of a conservative
tenor which vill be available to
all students,

Another basic belief of the
Young Conservatives is that of the
absolute necessity of unbiased pre-
sentation of facts often distorted,
they feel, by liberal “civil liber-
ties unions.” The Young Conserv-
atives, alarmed by what. they feel
to be a constant misrepresentation
of political issues through uncon-
tested liberal attack, have deter-
mined to provide what they believe
will be a more accurate analysis
of political actions.

The new group had its first op-
portunity to do so on October 10,
when Robert Welch spoke in Phil-
adelphia. Previous to the John
Birch Society meeting at the Sher-
aton Hotel, civil liberties groups

had circulated posters and pam= >

phlets, many of which were to be
found at Bryn Mawr.

One such notice printed by the ©

Committee of Twenty stated what
was, the Young Conservatives felt,
both biased and erroneous. Among
what the group thought to be ir-
responsible assertions, was the
Committee of Twenty’s declara-
tion:

“Robert Welch, head of the John
Birch Society, is addressing a se-

lected group of his followers in the —

Penn Center Room of the Shera-
ton Hotel. If you doubt that this



—It-is true that United States stu-

peers in any other country. Never-
theless we are gaining steadily—
particularly since the sit-ins be-
gan. And if we at Bryn Mawr wish
to be a part of this student activ-
ity, NSA is the answer.

But that is only if. NSA cannot
“help” this college by giving it
aid—as it is not a philanthropic
organization. The interest must be
there or there must be potential in-
terest. If we are willing to learn,
to act as responsible members of
a student community and to help
ourselves, NSA can be of service

\by providing information, by aid-

ing communication and by stimulat-
ing interest.

But if we aren’t interested (and
this is certainly possible on our
somewhat ingrown campus), and

Though Baldwin and Chamberlain,
he feels, were’ short-sighted, he
claims that “the English public
cannot be exonerated of their
share of the responsibility.” “Lack
of young progressive and able
leaders,” the failings of the Parlia-
mentary system, and the inability
of the British industries to adapt
to-mass production are also listed
by the author as reasons for Eng-
land’s unpreparedness for war.
Kennedy’s thesis, though con-
taining helpful charts, appears, es-
pecially to the student, strangely
undocumented and unfootnoted.
Though detailed, his text seems to
lapse into areas of unspecific gen-
eralizations. When he resorts to
vague psychological interpreta-
tions, the reader wonders if he is
attempting, too conscientiously, to
‘excuse the failings of Britain.
What would seem the most sig-
nificant statement in Why England
Slept in relation to the author’s

{present position as President of
jthe United States, is Kennedy’s

declaration: ;

“I say, therefore, that many of
the very factors intrinsic in de-
mocracy resulted in England’s fall-
ing further and further behind.
For democracy and capitalism are
institutions which are geared for
a world at peace, It is our prob-| Cuba
lem ‘to find a method of platen



them in a worla at war.”

is a secret meeting, walk in and
try to attend.”

Several members of the Young
Conservatives, along with other
Bryn Mawr students of opposing
political views, did walk in to the
meeting. They reported later that
it was open to them, as well as to
anyone else who wanted to at-
tend. -

The Young Conservatives, yet in
the process of formation, have-not
announced a collective stand on
all issues. They do not necessarily
espouse the “views of the John
Birch Society. They merely want,
according to members, .to present
an unbiased account of Conserva-
tive theory, policy and g@tion.

Officially meeting for the first
time on October 11, the Young
Conservatives have announced their
first speaker who will talk here
on November 6: Edward L. Nash,
who. defeated Stanley Isaacs, of
Manhattan’s 20th Senatorial Dis-
trict, for the position of ‘City Coun-
cilman in the Republican Primary
of September 7.

Liz Reed has also announced the
Young Conservatives’ planned at-
tendance at a lecture to be en
by. Father Galloway at-7:30 Tues-

day, October 17, at Villgnovi . Fa- .

ther Galloway, who was present in
uring the recent invasion,
will speak on “Cuba and the State



Department.”

guage? That is, when you say ‘it’s
raining,’ doesn’t that statement
set up a certain reaction in- my
mind connected a priori with the
concept—as Plato would say—the
idea, of rain?”

Meanwhile, in another class-
room across the hall (that is, if
we accept the fact that the word
“across” expresses a valid spa-
tial relationship qua relationship)
a senior shifts her chewing gum to
the side of her mouth, finishes
peeling off the last of her nail
polish, raises her hand and says,
“You know, after four years of
thinking about it, I simply don’t
understand what Plato means by
‘virtue.’ Could you explain it a
little?”

The professor gets up from his
desk (which is, after all, nothing
but an imitation of the idea of a
desk), and after walking to and
fro for several minutes (of clock
time, not flowing, continuous time)
finally sees the raised hand of the
only freshman in the class, and in
desperation calls on her. This
freshman, as it turns out, has just
come (back from an English class,
and says, “Well, I don’t think it’s
necessarily (using ‘necessary’ in
‘ its common, _ non-philosophical
sense) a question of understand-
ing. It’s all a question of feeling,
subjective feeling; that is, Eliot

jectivity problem in poetry by the
use of the objective correlative

ence. He completely avoided _rabble-
rousing harangues, but spoke direct-
ly and authoritatively, drawing upon
a seemingly vast fund of “factual”
knowledge. Who would dare to

doubt his word! But, there was one
presumptuous Haverfordian who did
dare. Barely had he started to doubt,
when cries of “Don’t be so gullible”
and “Ah, (understandably) he’s from
Haverford” filtered through the audi-
ence. This fit right in with Welch’s
earlier accusation that America’s col-
leges and universities were a hot-bed
of communism. He had explained
that naive youth’ first learned the
ways of evil in these academic cen-
ters. Once so indoctrinated, they
often proceeded to study in a theo-
logical seminary and use the dress
of the clergyman as a guise to spread
their word.

At first it seemed strange to us
that he could say this to an audience
that appeared Protestant and rela-
tively well-educated; but, on second
inquiry, we realized that he was sim-
ply implementing the principle of re-
versal. Not all Protestants or col-
lege graduates were communists—
just those in positions of leadership
throughout the country (i.e. Haver-
ford or Harvard graduates).

The Birchians who came expecting
to find reinforcement for their own
sentiments left feeling satisfied. They
had. fully expended their patriotic
enrgy. And as we Bryn Mawr lib-

Senior To Publish
Early Lone Island
Archaeology Finds

A forthcoming issue of the
journal “American Antiquities”
will include an article by a Bryn
Mawr senior, Glenda Boyd, an
anthropology major, who wrote the
piece as a term paper in American’
archaeology, is at work now com-
dleting illustrations suitable for
publication, including a map of
the area with which the paper
deals. The magazine, which is edi-
ted by Raymond Thompson of The
University of Arizona in Tucson
heard of Glenda’s work through
Miss Frederica de Laguna, head
of Bryn Mawr’s Anthropology De-
partment.

The subject of the paper is the
Long Island Sound area after the
Archaic Period and before the intro-
juction of pottery in the Early Wood-
land © Period, or approximately
1000-900 B. C. Glenda developed
an interest in the topic at about
the age of ten, when she helped
some excavators “sift some glop”

from an Archaic site in her home

town, ‘Glen Cove. Last year, in
studying reports of the shell heaps
left along the coast and river
banks by the semi-nomadic ina
itants, she noted the presence of
soapstone vessels and characteris-
tic projectile points which could be
placed in neither the Archaic nor the
Early Woodland Period. A Transi-
tional Period, between these two

and characterized by influences
from the Delaware Bay area, had
previously been analyzed in Penn-
sylvania; Glenda’s paper proposes
the extension of this analysis to
Long Island and hence provides a
theory to explain the. otherwise
puzzling presence of certain arti-
facts.

Africans Hear Dudden At Sea
For Foreign Student Orientation

Arthur Dudden, Associate Pro-
fessor of History, unexpectedly ex-
tended his teaching duties across
the Atlantic this summer. He was
engaged to lecture at Penn in
August on an orientation program
for African students coming to
study there and at the Lincoln
School. The African students des-
tined for the U.S, on the student
ships, the Irpinia, were travelling
under the auspices of the Council
on Student Travel for whom Mr.
Dudden was Discussion Program
Director. When it became evident
that the Irpinia would not reach
the U.S. in time for the orientation
program, Mr. Dudden was flown
to France to accompany the boat
on the last leg of its journey and
to give his lectures on board to
the 200 African students of the
300 students.

He spoke on American poi-
tics, ang government, race rela-
tions, “economics

architecture involves much more
than simple technique. As he ex-
presses it: “You must follow the
laws, but, in the end, when the
building becomes part of living, it
invokes immeasurable qualities.”
Recently, Mr, Kahn has comple-
ted the Richard’s Memorial Re-
search Building at the University
of Pennsylvania. In a pamphlet
published by the Museum of Mo-
dern Art, this building is called
“', .. the single most consequen-
tial building constructed in the
United States since the -war.”

underdeveloped,

policy and religion. He also held
talks on “hot” topics such as Ber-
lin, Cuba, and Algeria, in which all
of the students could participate.
Further topics’ covered were his-
tory and geography of the USA,
the ideals of America, the role of
the arts in America and Thomas
Jefferson.

Mr. Dudden found his African
students to be more self-assertive
than the American Negro and
more class conscious. He said the
cause of this lay in the tribalistic
society which is so much a part
of African life and in the fact that
as university students these Afri-
cans were the elite of their nation.

As a result of emigration from
India, Mr. Dudden saw many East
Africans in Indian dress. Mr. Dud-
den also found on board a Tan-
ganykian who was a white Ger-
man prince.

Mr. Dudden feels that it would

be of great benefit for colleges to,

give generous aid in bringing Afri-
can students to America, not only
for the Africans’ benefit, but as
well for the purpose of letting
American students see a realistic
representation of the modern Afri-
ca which has such an important
role in international politics. He
pointed out that while Africa is
sparsely popula-
ted and troubled by many internal
divisions it is particularly power-
ful because of the many seats its
nations hold in the United Nations.

Furthermore, Mr. Dudden thinks
that it might be a good idea for
Bryn Mawr to offer fellowships to
Africans in order to enable them
to come to this campus. As it is,
he says, “colleges do not take ad-
vantage of their foreign students.
Foreign students should be. en-
couraged to express their views
more vehemently.” Mr. Dudden
“quite a
shock to hear speaker after speak-
er spouting out black nationalism”
and that he felt that foreign stu-
dents tend to supress any strong
opinions in order to be polite, as a
result of which they often do not

contribute to the general college .

marred only by the fact that he
seemed to consider ‘his whole sub-

much importance or significance
