‘Ballads, Dancing Part Of Arts Night;

‘No Exit’ Noted As

._» Ae :

by Lois Glantz, ’56

Brya Mawr’s. answer to _ off-
Broadway was faithful to the cur-
rently successful trend with a re-
warding production of Arts Night.

A. reading of Sartre’s No Exit
was the most impressive part of
the evening, both in undertaking
and outcome. The play deals with
three people caught in the inescap-
able confines of-Hell, and their final
realization that it is not physical
torture which makes Hell, but
man’s own “inhumanity to man.

Helene Rosenbaum gave. a com-
manding, well-thought-out per-
formance of Inez, the lesbian. Bit-
ter and corrupt, frantic yet calcu-
lating, she played her role with
consistent intensity.

(Estelle, the prostitute, read by
Elizabeth de Sabato, emerged de-
ceivingly sweet, pleading and ul-
timately ineffectual due to her own
insensitivity. It was a convincing,
though perhaps a bit self-con-
scious, performance.

The difficult role of Garcin, the
half-heroic coward, was played by
Charles Adams. Although he could
not quite match the strength of
the part, he did a competent job of
portraying the pivotal character.

The characters read from high
stools on a bare stage, bathed in
red light. The enforced immobil-
ity of their positions added to the
frustrated, futile message of the
play. The entire performance was
well-paced, coherent and compell-
ing. Mary Darling is to be com-
mended for her direction.

‘Chris Flint sang a nicely varied |
group of folk songs, accompanying
herself on the autoharp. Among
the songs were “Black is the Color





Outstanding Event

of My True Love’s Hair”, “Shen-
andoah” and a sad poignant West-
ern ballad, “Old Blue”, the -saga of
a dog who “died so hard he shook
my back yard”. Chris had an easy,
informal manner and gave amus-
ing prefaces to her songs.

Two ‘dance numbers were re-
peated from last week’s Dance
Club concert with considerable
success. Leora. Luders’ “Indeti-.
sion” was a vivacious character
study in movement.

character with the original mood
and that evoked by the well-order-
ed, delicate spirit of the music,
Erik Satie’s “Deuxieme Gymno-
pedi”, accompanied by Gail Ames.

The program opened with two
flute duets played by Eleanor Dic-
kerman and Nancy Wells.

The art exhibit, hung on Skin-
ner’s artistically flaking walls, was
pleasing, if somewhat sparse. Out-
standing among the contributions
were Leigh Scott’s block prints
and some water color figure
sketches by Alice Lattimore.

Paintings and sculpture by
Fritz Janschka were shown in the
foyer. Particularly appealing were
two soldered bronze pieces; a land-
scape, “Harbor”, and “Indian
Girl’; also notable was a beauti-
fully textured wooden head.

Lights were done by Jean Mac-
Intyre and Tawn Stokes, Elizabeth
Thomas was business manager and
Tam Birchfield and Ann Morris
were the Arts Night chairmen.



C. Fenwick Discusses Importance
Of Inter-America Security System

Goodhart, April 20—Mr. Charles
G. Fenwick, Professor Emeritus of
Political Science, discussed “The
Inter-American Regional Security
System”, in which he emphasized
our present good relations with
Latin America and the success of
the LARSS. .

He pointed out the long way that
we have come since World War I,
when all states were sovereign, |
and war was used indiscriminately
as a solution to all problems.

Wilson was one of the first to
see that the 4 responsibility or
avoiding war was a common oe,
and he strongly advocated collect-

ive security. The IARSS is based)

on the same idea, and is proof of
its validity. Mr. Fenwick summed
up its success by saying that we
are “no longer the colossus of the
North, but the defenders of a sys-
tem.”

Changes over Years

* Pracing our varying policies to-
wards the idea of collective se-
curity, including Chief Justice
Hughes’ stand against the League
of Nations thirty years ago and
Roosevelt’s antagonizing re-state-
ment of the Monroe Doctrine, Mr.
Fenwick pointed out how our for-
eign relations changed accordingly.

Specifically, after numerous in-
ter-American conferences operat-




“cepted.



_ing on a ‘policy of consultation’, a
principle of regional collective se-,

curity was adopted, in which “an
attack on. one meant an attack on
all”. After this, all the Latin-



American nations stood behind us, !

and proved the system in World
War II, when Brazil opened-up.to
us completely. The success of the

system, said Mr. Fenwick, was the |.

return for our policy of consulta-
tion.

Act of Chapultepec

Latin American nations were not
invited to the Dumbarton Oaks
conference, and as a result they
met in Mexico, adopting the Act
f Chapultepec, to prevent the ab-
on of the IARSS by the UN.
y demanded of the UIN._the
right. of individual or collective
self-defense in the event that the
Council refused or failed to keep
peace. Their demands were ac-

The success of the IARSS has
not only had an effect on other
nations who~may-have wished to
attack the Americas, but also has
been applied in such cases as the
recent Costa Rica-Nicaragua inci-
dent.

How is ‘collective’ security poss-
ible, where one nation is as power-
ful (or more so) than all the rest?
It is possible, said Mr. Fenwick,

because the Latin American states
have come to trust our word that
we will only use our power after



mutual consultation.

literary field.

Boswell, it seems, wanted these
papers to be published. His sons,
however, were not very enthusias-
tic over their father’s admiration
-of Johnson. When Boswell died,
his eldest son took the papers, and
the story circulated that the pap-
Pers were burned. After the eldest
son died, the papers were handed
on to the latter’s two granddaugh-
ters, one of whom was married to
the Lord Talbot de Malahide.

The papers, still unknown to the
outside world, passed through the
succeeding generations of the Mal-
ahide family. Finally, one of the
Malahide descendants took the
papers to Ireland and buried them
in his castle.

As a result of the scholarship of
Prof. Chauncery Tinker, the pa-
pers were finally discovered in
Malahide castle in 1920. In that
year Colonel R. H. Isham was able
to buy the papers from the Mala-
hide family and submitted them to
Geoffrey Scott and Prof. Pottle for
editorship.



Professor Pottle recently edited
the best-selling Boswell’s London
Journals, Boswell on the Grand
Téur and Boswell’s Journal of the
Tour to the Hebrides.

In addition to other books and
articles, he is also author of Idiom
of Poetry. At present, Professor
Pottle is engaged in writing a de-
finitive biography of Boswell.

Professor Linus Pauling, Nobel
Laureate in Chemistry, 1954, will
speak in Park Hall at 8:30 P.M.,

best known to Bryn Mawr students
as author of their ‘first-year —lab-
oratory manual and chemistry text
book. °

The 58-year-old professor of
chemistry at the California Insti-
tute of Technology is a world-re-
nowned expert in his field. His
most outstanding book is The Na-
ture of the Chemical Bond, but
with Wilson he has writter: anoth-
er important work, Introduction
to Quanto-Mechanics. Pauling’s

plication of the methods of quanto-
mechanics to the investigation of
protein structure.

Al Mackay, outst@ding) as Billy
Bigelow, showed .unusual stage
presence and great understanding
of Billy’s character. His lines were
convincingly spoken, and all of his
songs..were delivered with assur-
ance. His Act I “Soliloquy” will
long be rémembered. S

Excellent also was Pear! Bailey’s
portrayal of Julie. Her love for
and faith in Billy stirred the audi-
ence deeply. The duet, “If I Loved
You,” which she and Billy sang, is
notable for the feeling and expres-
sion with which it was rendered.

Carrie (Mabel Stinson) and her
Mr. Snow (Louis White) helped
immensely to brighten a plot which
could become quite heavy and op-
pressive. Mr. Snow’s bashfulness
over his engagement and his many
funny lines (especially “Boston

for comic acting.

Louise Jones, who is always
good, made an excellent Nettie
Fowler. She and the chorus gave
a cheerful and spirited rendition
of “June Is Busting Out All Over.”

“You'll Never Walk Alone,” as
sung by Edward Dudley, was one
of the best pieces in the show. The
acting done by Julie and Nettie in
this portion of the scene was like-
wise very moving.

Fred (Orrin Peasely) Gayman
gave a rendition of “What’s the
Use of Wondrin’” which brought
a storm of applause.

Also contributing to the success
of Carousel were: Pearl Edmunds
as Mrs. Mullin; Mabel Chapman as

Labeled Ideas

A label on a bottle of poisgn keeps us from suffering its
harmful. effects by warning. us to keep away. The current
practice of labeling ideas keeps us away from them, too, but
here there are no benefits to isolation. Any proposal which
suggests.an increase in government ownership or regulation,
no matter how well considered, is promptly labeled “creeping
socialism” and eliminated from theoretical or practical gov-
ernment consideration.

Any suggestions which resemble communist party de-
mands for civil rights or will give these communists and
everyone else further guarantees of liberties are labeled
“pink” or “red” (“Liberal” in some circles has become almost
synonymous with these terms.)

If this labelling were merely for classification, little
harm would be done as these classifications can be changed;
after they have been considered, ideas can be shifted out of
groupings with derogatory connotations if either the classi-
fication or implication is unjust. However, these labels have
become boundaries beyond which many of us, and not only
the McCarthys and Jenners, refuse to let our minds tread.
We have curtained off our nation from incorporating ad-
vances in social, economic and political ideas into our govern-
mental structure>”

Much has been said about the government policies which
are causing the United States to be intellectually isolated
from the rest of the world. We have built tall fences, keep-
ing out foreign intellectual leaders and newly developed ideas
in all fields while keeping our ideas and savants here. This
intellectual isolation is increased by our intra-national preju-
dice against certain labeled ideas, and our refusal to consider
them, thus dwarfing our own development.

“Alliance Role

The embarrassingly poor attendance at recent Alliance
college assemblies poses the question as to the role of Alli-
ance on campus. The Alliance in the past year has taken to
heart criticisms that the “big name” speakers were indeed
only names, that they could not or would not speak freely: be-
fore college groups. Recently the Alliance has made a policy
of inviting lesser known but well-qualified speakers. The re-
sulting drop in attendance at the 12:30 lectures makes one
wonder if we ought not to resort to inviting the celebrities
in order, to expose to the political scene the numerous ipso
factos who reluctantly parens political information and un-
derstanding. ”

It seems to us that the Alliance owes its first duty to
those students who are already interested in politics. This
is certainly not to say that Alliance should hold a disdainful
air towards all who have as of yet no particular political
awareness. «It is to say that we feel Alliance should present

ee ee Y



.. a well-rounded and constantly functioning program for those

who are willing to put a little time and thought into political

affairs, perhaps necessarily at the expense of trying to give
~~ smattering of political thought to the college-as-a whole.

The conference idea adopted last year and planned for
next fall seems to be an excellent step along this line. If the
Alliance might concentrate on small and frequent discussion
groups,-and more chance for personal contact with a speaker,
perhaps eventually trying to achieve a program such as Hav-
erford now has in its Phillips visitors, those who are most in-

terested in ‘Alliance activities would find a really challenging

_ At the same time, those who are less interested

? ‘might be drawn into Alliance by the ‘interest and enthusiasm

of those already taking part.

Tt seems to us that perhaps Alliance should not have to
put so much effort into getting a satisfactory crowd for one
outside speaker, but could aim rather for an interesting pro-
gran around him. After all, the success of Alliance shouldn’t
in terms of the number of listeners, but in

Information Meaningless Without eo
And Something To Be Forgotten After Exams

Dear Editor,

Out of the panel seems to have
emerged a fallacious, notion that
there is a dichotomy between facts
and discussion in Bryn Mawr class-
es, that either one learns facts or
has irrelevant bull sessions, that
facts and the discussion method
cannot be combined.

It seems to us that the purpose
of discussion has been misunder-
stood, for we feel that while facts
are the necessary basis for learn-
ing, they can often be made more

lation, but something to be forgot-
ten the day after the exam.

We feel that even in the survey
courses, in which one does definite
reading on a definite subject, that
a college student is capable of ex-
pressing an intelligent opinion on
what she has just read. If she is
wrong, then: she can be corrected
either by the professor or by an-
other student. And the studet will
learn more through correction.

Robbins Foresees Tory
Win Without
Churchill

Sir Winston Churchill is prob-
ably the greatest living man in the
English-speaking world today.
However, his absence on thé Con-
servative bench is liable to have
little effect upon the outcome of
the general elections to be held in
Britain on May 27.. This was the
opinion of Miss Robbins, who spoke
on the English political situation
at Current Events on April 25.

Election results will depend
largely on whether the people feel
prosperity will continue under the
present. Conservative administra-
tion. This prosperity has been con-
siderable; the Tories have improv-
ed the staridard of living while
abolishing many wartime restric-
tions. They retained such popular

Minnovations as the public health ,
service, and they increased indus-

trial productivity, which the pre-
ceding Labor regime was unable to
do.

Unlike their rival Labor party,
the Conservatives and their three
important leaders present a united
front. Anthony Eden, though not
the major figure that Churchill
was, is courageous, an excellent
party man, and apparently more
democratic than Churchill. For-
eign Minister Howard McMillan
exhibits an extremely powerful
personality, and is apt to be tough-
er in his foreign policy dealings
than was his predecessor Eden.
Rab Butler, a first-rate administra-
tor, did an impressive job as Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer in the re-
cent Tory ministry. An effective
speaker, he is perhaps the most
brilliant man in the group.

Younger Men

If the Conservatives win the
elections, these three will probably
continue to hold office, and take
into the.+more important Tory
ranks a younger group of men
than Churchill would be liable to
do. It is more‘difficult to foresee
who would assume the important
positions were the Laborites to
come into power, however. The
picture is unclear due to the split
in the Labor party, between the
Attlee and Bevan factions. Attlee, —
who served as Prime Minister for
five years after the war, now ap-
pears to have lost his battle with
Bevan. If the Labor party loses

| the elections, Bevan will very like-
make sure that in their first week ], become the real leader of the

here, the freshmen will already be- party, and be elected Prime Min-

ister in the elections following the
coming ones.

With Bevan assuming power,
there is a swing to the left in the
party. Though definitely not Com-
munist, it is more pacifist and
much more socialistic than the La-
bor party of Attlee and Morrisson.
If the Labor party wins in May, it
will mean @ considerable economic
difference to England, since the
party appeals mainly to the small-
er-income group. The strong suit
of the Laborites now is their dis-
trust of German rearmament,
which has not been popular in
England.

Foreign Effect
Churchill’s resignation will prob-

ably-have-more_effect_on the fu-

ture foreign policy of England
than on the current political scene.
The Conservatives are at least as
and possibly even more, likely to
win without him, since the present
Conservative ministry is more pre-
dictable than was Churchill, who
tended to act on his own initiative,
without. consulting anyone. ©
fact that he lost a postwar election
at the height of his own fame
would indicate that he is not in-
dispensable to a Tory victory.
Miss Robbins hopes Churchill
will soon reappear on the back
benches from which he rose to be-
come Prime Minister. He has carv-

ed a place in history as a writer

American. Hollywood has present-
ed such a different picture that the
American traveller is only struck
with disappointment when he dis-
covers that wild animals are found
only in. government reservations.

Many Americans would be sur-
prised to know that there are sky-
scrapers in the Belgian Congo,
double-deck busses roaming the
_ streets of my home town, galleries,

movie-theatres all over West Af-
rica and national athletic associa-
tions everywhere.

The Africa Dr. Livingston or
Henry Stanley saw has been great-
ly transfigured, and the term
“Dark Continent” is no longer ap-
plicable to this vast continent, for
there is no place in Africa that is
‘ not within the reach of civilization
—which was the reason why the
mame was given,

“Jig-Saw” Puzzle

The map of Africa is a political
jig-saw puzzle, Up to the last four
years only Liberia, Ethiopia, Egypt
and Lybia could boast of no Europ-
ean affiliation; the rest of the con-
tinent is torn apart by Britain,
France, Portugal, Belgium and
Spain. The status of the African
in these Europe-owned colonies is
really complex. In British colon-
ies they are either “British sub-
jects” or “British protected peo-
ples”; in the French, Portuguese
and Spanish colonies they are “cit-
izens” of these European countries.
This political nomenclature has a
great influence on the people, for
those who are “subjects” or “pro-
tected peoples’ have decided that
it is about time they became citi-
zens of their own country.

Cultural Divisions

Many Americans refer to Africa
as they would speak of the state





of Pennsylvania or New York,
hardly realizing that the continent
is almost three times as large as
the United States. Because of this
vastness, it is impossible to find

the kind of homogeneity all over’
the continent that one would find

here; but there are in reality about
five areas of cultural affinity,
which are North Africa,

and Central Africa.

The possibility. of having politi-
cal divisionsfis quite likely, for al-
ready people in these areas are be-
ginning to think of themselves as
members of the areas as well as of
their respective countries. Some-
body from Sierra Leone does not
only claim to be a Sierra Leonean,
but also a West African.

Cultural Similarities

There are certain aspects of cul-
ture, however, that are found all
over Africa. For one thing, the

average African has a profound re-

spect for age; then, he almost wor-
ships his mother, An African, in
taking an oath would feel himself

‘ more committed if he said, “I swear

‘on my mother’” instead of “I
swear ‘on my honor’”’, Again, ev-
ery African, educated or illiterate,
considers the husband as “boss” of
the home (“boss” without any tyr-
annical implications). There is
nothing that pleases an African
wife better than her husband’s
“keeping off” her house chores.
Even among Africans who have
been abroad, the wife considers
him only the bread-winner .and
herself the home-maker; he is
therefore not expected to do
housework. :

The average African is very mu-
sical and he sings on all occasions.
He even sings when he is sad, and
chants when he cries. It is not un-

common to have your girl-friends Be
come to your house late at night

when you are asleep and stand in
your piazza and serenade you for
hours because of some good you did
to one of them. In the absence of
a written language for centuries,
these ballads handed the traditions
down from generation to generation
until people were able to record
them in the written languages that
were later evolved.

Neither Africasnor the African is
difficult to understand, as many

5 Social Workers In Discussion

Say Jobs Require

Social work can be defined as
“flexible skill,’? decided five Phila-
delphia social workers, who spoke
at a League sponsored panel on
Thursday. The five, who repre-
sented various phases of social
work, were sponsored by the Phil-
adelphia Area Committee on Re-
cruitment for Social Work.

Miss Joan Bonner, a medical
worker, spoke of a need for re-
cruits in the profession. She also
noted that in her field it is neces-
sary to work on the sick as “a
team,” and to study the environ-

+. ment of the patient.

Adoption and Foster Homes

Miss Ruth Krauss spoke on fam-
ily and child welfare problems,
particularly on the question of
adoption and foster homes. One
of the chief problems she mention-
ed is that a great number of peo-
ple, particularly in the lower in-

come groups, distrust the foster |

homes.
Mrs: Marian Morris, a psychi-
atric worker, discussed child guid-

ance clinics. Mrs. Morris noted

of the people in this branch of
work that “while everybody knows
about people, these people know
what they know about people.”



“Flexible Skill”

She spoke of a need for “empathy,
not sympathy,” and said that the
clinic should act as a “steam valve”
in family relations. The problem
is not one of “good” and “bad?
parents, but a lack of such steam
valves.
Classroom Problems
Miss Lilian Homelsky, a school
social worker, explained that she
works at problems achild may
have in relation to school. How-
ever, classroom problems are often
a reflection of something much
deeper in the personality of the

1 child. ~

Mr. Morris Seidler, a. group
worker, said that while most peo-

ple think of a community center

as a place for fun, the social work-
er must consider it as a place for
a “working out of problems.” He
discussed the fact that in modern
times people have much more lei-
sure, and the way in which they
spend it has a great deal of effect
on their attitudes and beliefs. The
focus in group work is not the
“dramatic making of a man,” but
dealing with the average problems
of average people. The group
worker uses the group relationship
in working out the ee of the

individual.



‘Make New Plans

For Soda Fountain

New plans for the soda fountain
have been made by Mary Jo Grif-
fith, the new chairman, and her
managers, Angie LaVigne, Anne
Wake, Nancy Dyer and Betsey
Nelson.

A different method of signing
for food has been put into effect.

' Instead of giving the order direct-

West
Africa, East Africa;“South Africa!

ly to the crew, a customer now
makes out a slip stating her name,

hall and the order. She gives this
to the manager, who puts it in the
box-and-relays the order to one of
the crew.

This scheme is intended to re-
duce the number of mistakes in the
order slips, and to make sure no
one forgets to sign.

The schedule for soda fountain
is as follows: Monday through Fri-
day, 1:00 to 2:00; Sunday through
Thursday, 4:15 to 5:15; and Mon-
day through Thursday, 9:15 to
11:00 p.m. If there are enough re-
quests- for--it, the managers will
open for Friday dinners also. All
suggestions are welcome!

Orchestra To Play
J. S. Bach, Elgar

The Bryn Mawr-Haverford Com-
munity Orchestra will present its
second concert of the year on
Thursday, May 5, at 8:30 in Good-
hart Hall. The admission price
will be 35¢ for students and 50¢ for
the general public.

The featured work of the eve-
ning will be the performance of
Elgar’s “Concerto in E Minor” for
cello and orchestra, with cello solo-
ist Jerome Goodman. Jerry is a

senior pre-med student at Swarth-|

more, and has had a great deal of
solo experience.

Another highlight of the pro-
gram will be J. S. Bach’s “Bran-
denburg Concerto No. 1,” with
Harry Raper and William Carra-
gan as French horn soloists.

President Of University Of Gold

Coast Visits BMC

By Harriette Solow, 56

The audiénce, robed in academic
gowns, is 96% boys. President
Katharine McBride steps to the
platform. She mentions that all!
students who applied and were of
sufficiently high caliber were ac-
cepted by the college, increasing
the student body to 400,

“The,plant of the college can ac-
commodate 1,000,” says Miss Mc-
Bride. “We hope that next year
more students who meet our stand-
ards will be-available for accept-

Jance and that within the next five

years the student body will catch
up with the facilities.”

Gold Coast University

Substitute Principal David
Balme for President McBride and
the situation is real — though not
the event. Mr. Balme visited Bryn
Mawr on Thursday, April 21, as
part of a tour sponsored by the
Carnegie Institute to observe ad-
ministrative methods in the U.S.,
Canada and the West Indies.

The school,-the University of the
Gold Coast,:is supported by annual
grants from the Gold Coast gov-
ernment and the Cocoa Marketing
Board. It is affiliated with the Uni-
versity of London which sets the
standards, including those for ad-
mission. This means “quite a bot-
tleneck” because of a lack of
enough high quality primary and
secondary schools.

Government Changing

The government, which will be
changed from a crown colony to an
independent state next year, plans
to provide for the extra two years
necessary for college admission in
more secondary schools. It has es-
tablished universal free primary
education: as a principle and in-
tends to have enough teachers and
facilities to make it enforceable
within the next ten years.

“People think of the Gold Coast
as a bit more primitive than it is,”
said Mr. Balme. It’s “way ahead],
of Burma.” The. population is
about five million Negroes to a few
thousand whites. There is no white
settlement — the latter come only
on business purposes.

Although the university has no
race restrictions of any kind at
present there are no white stu-

' students



dents, This, said Mr. Balme, “is

On U.S. Tour

rather a pity.” In general, white
are sent overseas for
their education. Most of the uni-
versity’s staff is white.

The university offers undergrad-
uate and graduate work in science,
arts, economics, and agriculture.
Pre-medica] training is most pop-
ular (the government offers schol-
arships to medical schools over-
seas), followed by history and eco-
nomics. Most graduates work in
civil‘ service.

Teaching is not well paid and
has no prestige, though it is ex-
tremely necessary. “Bonding” is a
form of scholarship offered by the
government to students who agree
to teach afver they have completed
their education.

“Nearly all students have schol-
arships of one sort or “another,”
said Mr, Balme. In addition, tui-
tion and board cost the college
more than the 100 L ($280) paid
by each student.

Large Halls

All students are required to live
on campus. Each hall will even-
tually have 200-300 students: and
30-40 fellows (faculty members).
Students don’t switch from one
hall to another but develop a loy-
alty to the place of residence. In-
terhall competition stimulates ac-
tivities.

Football is the most popular
sport, followed by cricket and hoc-
key. There are also at least 30-40
clubs and societies directed toward
such fields as philosophy and mu-
sic, depending on student interest.
These are organized under Junior
Common Room, which seems to
parallel Undergrad except that fac- °
ulty members are invited to help.

The university “tries to develop
the students as individuals”, Each
has a separate room so he “lock
the door and live his own life”. In-
ter-student discipline is discour-
aged for the same reason. Instead,
each student has a tutor, a faculty

{member responsible for bringing

student views to the faculty and
vice versa, advising the student,
and imposing any penalty. Per-
manent halls of residence “make
it easier for the faculty to. pene-
trate among the students” so that
they can “live a scholarly life to-
gether.”
Mr. Balme was “astonished to

As a postlude to “Picnic” Pem-

brokes East and West held an open
house. Entertainment was’ provid-
ed by Betsy Baker and Dana Gib-
son at the piano, and Julie Wilkin,
Fran Neidle and Dana Gibson gave
a rousing Charleston.

Cake and punch were served in
Pem East, while sandwiches and
coffee were provided by Pem West.

‘THE COLLEGE NEWS “,

Wednesday, April 27, 1955



On April 14 at 8:30, Mr. Clar-
ence Mendell,
Professor of Latin Language and
Literature at Yale, spoke to the
Classics Club on “The New Roman
Poets” in the Common Room,

The ‘new’ poets consisted chief-
ly of Catullus and his followers,
although Mr. Mendell also includ-
ed Virgil in the category. He drew
a comparison between the ‘new’
poets of today, such as Cummings
and Joyce, and those of ancient
Rome, saying that the latter were
newer, in their time, than those of
our generation.

The talk approached the Roman |

poets from the point of view that

the younger poets of every genera-

tion have contributed to the poetic
tradition, their discoveries being
assimilated into this tradition, and
their vagarivs gradually being for-
gotten,

Assimilation Into Tradition

This was as true of Catullus and
his group as of any poets of today.
We also think of a ‘new’ voice
as a revolutionary one, protesting
against a current exaggerated or
over-stabilized trend, said Mr.
Mendell. This, too, was true of
‘new’ Roman poets.

What these poets revolted
against was the established tradi-

tion of poetry as consisting only |

of heroic epics or of comedies to
amuse the people at public func-
tions.
Little Time for Poetry
These limitations were due

‘chiefly to the fact that Rome, as a

new and still-struggling republic,
was too busy establishing herself,
fighting her wars, farming her
lands, and raising her families to
devote much time to luxuries such
as poetry.

With the rise of the ‘social revo-
lution’, the accumulation of power
and wealth, and the gradual for-
mation of an aristocracy, intellec-
tual pursuits became.more possible.

With the leisure which wealth
brought came a new interest in
the individual and a desire for self-
expression. Catullus and his group
were part of this movement, but
they were radicals in the fact that
they rebelled against the old tradi-

tions of epic; they were bored with

formerly Sterling; them, and sought variety, novelty

and self-expression, above all.

As examples, Mr. Mendell read
Catullus’ love poems to Lesbia,
explaining briefly their construc-
tion and use of language, both of
which were amazingly different
from the previous traditional poet-
ry.

Mr. Mendell also read, in Eng-
lish, some of Virgil’s poetry,
pointing out that although Catul-
lus’ name was never mentioned, his
influence was strong.

The lecture was particularly in-
teresting in that Mr. Mendell ap-
proached these poets as ‘moderns,’
discussing them much as we dis-
cuss our contemporary modern
poets, in terms of their innovations
and reactions to the movements
which have preceded theirs.

Wonder of wonders, the sun
- shone bright on the day of ’57’s
carnival, County Fair. |

. At two o'clock) the event got un-
pts way with the procession of
freshman floats, The entries were
varied, depicting everything from
James Thurber’s Unicorn in the
Garden to the Funeral of Humpty |
Dumpty. The faculty judges
awarded laurels to Radnor for,
their entry, Corpus Dilexi, the’
bier of one dead, papier-mache owl.

en (driven by Dr. Soper), the Bat-
tle of the Corpuscles starring Miss
Mononucleosis of 1955, On the
Waterfront, and the Wizard of Oz

the faculty brought in over$100,

booths on Denbigh Green included

a prize), turtle races, a fortune

purpose is not “to arouse interest
‘ in the present student body” as to
what occurs during Freshman
Week.

the past and has provided the col-
lege with some very. successful
heads of Freshman Week.

and a prophet, as well as a man
of action. His diagnoses and pre-
dictions concerning world affairs
and foreign policy have been amaz-
ingly accurate. He is famed as a
historian, enjoys writing books,
and is actually a much better writ-
‘er than an orator, although his
' speeches have generally been mag-

nificently prepared and spoken.
Churchill is perhaps most admir-



' able as a person because of his real

zest for life. He rarely bears
grudges, and detests cruelty .or
anything which will prevent people
from acting as they want to.
