SNe et ee

Wednesda February 28, 1962.



Last weék the News, published an editorial concerned

with theory and opposing, on principle, the new driving rule
recommended by Self-Gov. and passed by Legislature. The
broad and radical opinion “expressed’'in that editorial needs

some clarification, and an analysis of the timing of the opin-
ion is needed. ee

The most disturbing issue which the passage of the driv-

ing rule has raised is the problem of communication. _This
was the sequence of events: extensive discussion on the part
of Self-Gov. resulted in the new driving rule which was post-
ed in each hall a week before Legislature. Then, the passage

events several questions arise. Why didn’t those students

of the rule by, a majority vote in Legislature, and finally, a

opposed to the rule make known their views when Self-Gov.

asked for suggestions? --'Why ~didn’t- the- News~edmc -out-
against the proposal*before Legislature met?
to these questions lies in a failure of communicatio

The} answer
Self-

Gov. failed to communicate with the students; the students
failed to communicate with Self-Gov.; and the News, unaware
‘of the discrepancy in opinion, was unable to fulfill its role as
an organ of communication.

The opposition to the driving rule became. vocal only

when the students were confronted with it as.a fact. Many
students feel that the driving rule was sprung on them. We
realize that this was not the intention of Self-Gov., but this
is what, in effect, really happened. There was little give and
take between the revision committee and the students wish-
ing certain changes in the rule. The students were not aware
_of the various proposals considered by the committee, nor
had they any idea of the discussion that went into the for-
mulation of the new rule. Thus, when this rule was present-
ed, the students thought it was the only possible alternative
—un fait accompli. A-random sampling of the-halls-has_led

sented with a set of proposals instead of an intricately word-
ed rule, ¢hey would have approved a more liberal change.

What can be done to alleviate this lack of communica-

tion? The Hall‘meéeting is undoubtedly the best connecting
link between the students and the Self-Government Associa-
tion, but somehow the hall meeting has been a.weak nexus.
Because. the Hall Presidents attend weekly meetings of ‘the
Advisory Board of Self-Gov., they should carry ‘student
opinion to this board. Brief informative hall meetings could

be held solely for the purpose-of communication. The ‘hall |
reps. to the various organizations: could

report briefly on

their board meetings. This would stimulate discussion after
the hall meeting and make the reps. available to anyone with
an idea for her organization. As it is now, the rep. has only
two means of communication: dining room announcements
and posters. She, finally, is not able to bring opinions to her
meeting or toinform the students of the results.

uA

“A second remedy to this real illness of communication

was raised by the Editorial Board of the News. .The board
suggests that each campus organization (including the small
clubs)—appoint a representative who is responsible for. re-
porting activities and opinions of her organization to Ellen

More

“important, every student who has a particular opinion or
complaint should go directly to Self-Gov..or the Administra-
tion or write a letter to the News, rather than letting her
view smoulder. with the cigarettes in the smoker.

It is imperative that comniunication occur before the

event, but in this case it did not . Recognizing that the con-
troversy arose from a lack of communication, but that the
driving rule has been passed and that there exists consider-
able opposition to it, is there anything specific, realistic and
practical that can be done? There are two practical sugges-
tions which in our view would neither increase the parking
problem nor deviate greatly from the philosophy of the driv-
ing rule: 1) that students may drive when accompanied by
friends of the family of parents’ generation or older, which
would enable students to guide their guests who may be un-
familiar with the area; and 2) that students be permitted
to drive when at the home of adults of parents’ generation
or older, which would be particularly helpful to those: stu-
dents who live quite far away but whose “family” is a rela-
tive in the vicinity. The suggested clause does not allow
for driving cars when~at the “home” of people younger than
our parents’ generation, which, understandably, would in-

crease the accident potential:

The question of driving col-

legs cars to functions connected with campus organizations,
which was inadequately handled at the Legislature meeting,
is being considered by the Administration because it raises
problems of insurance and scheduling.

In order to effect changes the students may either peti-

tion for a reconvening of Legislature. or for a referendum,
or they can‘ask for an open meeting. If there is a desire for
further action in this field, the News suggests that the latter
approach is more practical as it would permit a give and take
discussion of the issue. The News can only suggest changes
and means of implementing them; it is the students who
must-act. °

Barnes Foundation
Provides Surprise,
Delights Art Lover

by Pauline Dubkin

«Past the iron gates, the Pinker-
ton men, the coat-check men, the
purse-check men—if you can get
past them all — lies one of the
most interesting, most unusual,
and most inaccessible of private art
collections. It is the Barnes. Foun-
dation in Merion, which is now _ad-
mitting the public at the rate of
200 a day each Friday and Satur-
day, and if you come through the
sereening unscathed a sometimes
perplexing but almost always
pleasant experiérice awaits you.

Immediately on entering, the
visitor’s eye is amazed by walls
slathered with paintings, in what
seem to be entirely arbitrary ar-
rangements. On a wall full of Ren-
oirs and Cézannes suddenly ap-
pears. “Ecole. Francaise, XV. Cen-
tury”; in a room lined with cases
of ancient Greek artifacts three
Marsdon. Hartleys hang as confi-
dently as if they grew there; right:
above. the African sculptures: on
the second floor are the Matisse mu-
rals, Above an antique desk sprawls
a Modigliani nude; the haunted eyes
of an El Greco figure gaze past 4
pre-Columbian Mexican artifact next
to it on the wall.

No Titles

Another surprise is that none of
the ‘paintings has titles on them.
A few of the craftier masters, per-
haps knowing that they, were one
day to hang in such a gallery,
wrote the titles along with their
signatures, but for the most part
we are confronted with nameless
Renoir ladies, anonymous Utrillo
streets—but what a wealth of
them all!

The first visit to Barnes, espec-
ially for the layman, is apt to be
staggering. There are over 1000
paintings ’as well as antifacts,
sculpture, and antique furniture.
The bulk of ‘the art is modern:
Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse — these
three are the most amply repre-
sented — as well as Rousseau, Seu-
rat, Picasso, Soutine, Modigliani,
Prendergast, Braque, Klée. There
are also Titians, Tintorettos, El
Grecos, some 14th and 15th cen-
tury French, Spanish, Italian, Ger-
man, and Flemish works, a few
Chinese, Greek, and Egyptian ar-
tifacts, and sculpture by African
Negroes..and by Libchitz.

Delighted as we are with such
plenty, we are told that there’s
method in this madness; the
Barnes Foundation is not only a
collection but an educational in-
stitution: with strong beliefs about
art and art education. Its theory
of education is heavily pragmatic:
art is not something to be turned
to in_leisure moments, but a vital
part of daily life, and art. appre-

life. It requires organized and sys.

courses directed to these ends, and
for those who. merely: want to go
and look, the arrangement of the
collection is designed to’ facilitate
such study. We can think of few

Professor Questions Use
Of Word ‘War’ in Article
To the Editor:

Politics and the English language
can, as we know, exert a corrupting
influence on one another. I wonder-|

current College News if the writer
is aware to what extent her thinking
is hampered by her language. She
states that we are “at war with Com-
munism—or should be.” This we can
‘recognize as a shorthand version of
the commonplace term “cold war.”
Later, in defense of military men
publicly stating their personal views,
she cites MacArthur’s ‘famous _dic-
tum, “In war there is no substitute
for victory.” But MacArthur was
not speaking of-the-cold-war and-he
was not speaking of thermo-nuclear

war. :

“Every action of every Amefican
should be directed towards the de-
struction of Communism.” In the
context she has provided, this sounds
to me liké a battle cry. And in our
time, a battle--cry to nuclear arms
foregoes the possibility of a victory.
More than one. military man_ has
warned us that this is so, including,
if I am not mistaken, General Mac-
Arthur on theo¢casion of his eighti-
eth birthday.

“War” means either the gestures
and threats and postures and sym-
bolic acts of the cold war which may
break out into local hot wars. Or
it means thermo-nuclear war, Since
neither politics nor -language car
possibly »fully represent the mean-
ing of that “war,” we give up and
imprudently use the. same old word.
Woe betide us if we confuse the two
concepts!

Student Rebukes Faculty
For Its Political Inaction

To the Faculty:

“An Appeal to the Hote of Rep-
resentatives (to) Abolish’ HUAC”
appeared. on page 17 of The New
York Times of February 22, 1962.

Why did no Bryn Mawr faculty
member sign this. list?

Was it because you were not ap-
proached? “This is hard to believe,
since the home base of the sponsor-
ing group is Philadelphia.

Was it because you support
HUAC? This is equally hard to be-
lieve, since, the Bryn Mawr Adminis-
tration is one of the few administra:
tions that is actively trying to dis-
pose of the Loyalty Oath Clause in
the NDEA. : —

Was it because there is no politi-
eal interest among the faculty ?.

Whatever the reason, I think this
example serves~as-an illustration of
the general tone of this campus: in
relatigh' to other campuses it is po-
litically dull.

Letters to the Editor —

To the Editor:
My congratulations to the New
on its Driving Rule editorial! It is

ions that I and many others have
held so strongly. The Driving Rule
as it now. stands is impractical, un-
reasonable and useless. I find it dif-
wihch is as liberal as its sign out
rules indicate it is, can at the same
time give its support to .our—incon-.
gruously conservative Driving Rule.

Self-Goy. Chief Defends
Driving Rule As Revised

To the Editor:

Your editorial of last week cri-
ticizing the Self-Government Exe-
cutive Board for its handling of
the Driving Rule and implying. a
criticism of the Legislature. for
passing such a rule demands a re-
ply. I apologize to the members
of Legislature for repeating sev-
eral of the points made there, but
I think they will be of interest,
both to the rest of the campus and
to the writer of the editorial.

the personal danger involved in
driving and the lack of facilities

in reviewing the old rule and-for-

campus feeling and recognized the

principal concern was to see that

Visitors Note No ass Discussion,
Lack of Creative Use of Knowledge

Interviews with the four visitors
from Swarthmore and Sarah Law-

rence who sampled life here last.

week provided many thought-pro-
voking, even disquieting observa-
tions on Bryn Mawr. All of them
seemed to enjoy their stay. They

in representing the interests of
their dorms. They found our man-

datory revision of the rules every |.

four years an excellent idea.
Polly -Glennan admitted she
found the multiplicity of student

or:



found many things to admire, but
whilé their impressions differed in
many respects, their criticisms
were unanimous: college: ciassés “at
Bryn Mawr lack“excitement, alert-
ness and give-and-take.” At Bryn
Mawr, said Polly Glennan of
Swarthmore, “the emphasis is on
absorbing.” One does not attempt
to make creative use of knowledge
until a thorough background has
been acquired. This judgment was
upheld ‘by all the girls. Lois Shank-
man from Sarah Lawrence ascribed
it to the intellectual humility of
Bryn Mawr students, who, | she

feels, have great respect for their}

work and are humbled by it. While
they felt this. is admirable, they
felt. that it tends to discourage
class participation and a critical
approach to learning.

_The two girls. from Swarthmore

__ Said the absence of class partici-|

pation might be due to our being
an. all-girls’ school. Boys, they
said, being less sensitive and
more argumentative, provoked
more -discussion in class.

All four noticed that discussion
here is confined to exchanges be-
tween student and teacher, rather
than between student and student.
In their ‘own institutions there is
more readiness to “cut into” their
classmates.

This attitude they ascribed to
“intellectual humility” and “respect
for the individual” rather than
apathy, as is so often the cry here
on campus, and none were. will-
ing to condemn.us on the strength
of their brief acquaintances with
thé college.

During their stay the visitors |‘

attended meetings. of . Self-Gov,

Undergrad, Legislature, and Col-'

lege Council, so they had pertinent
remarks to make about our extra-

curricular activities as well as

“academic life.

The Sarah Lawrence students
found’ .themselyes “extremely im-
pressed” with how well the stu-
dents both knew and respected the

Student. Presidents
Discuss Changing
Tri College Dance

The fate of Tri-College Dance, giv-
en annually in the Spring by Bryn
Mawr, Haverford and Swarthmore,
has been under much discussion late-
ly. ‘Last .semester the Swarthmore
Student Council decided to withdraw
Swarthmore’s’ participation in « the
“dance. As the result of a petition,
however, the question wes referred

to the student body. The. vote on

the referendum was 392 to 70 in fa-
vor of continued participation. |

The difficulties in the project —
transportation, financing and sched-
uling—are great. One of the major
problems is location. Because Bryn
Mawr has no adequate facilities for
~a dance of this sort, Haverford’s field

house has been used in those years}

when Bryn Mawr ‘was the host
school: At the récent meeting of the

‘found-us-to~be-morejike-their-own+
institutions than any. of the “Big

fusing” and both the Swarthmore
students noted a great difference

between our system of student gov-|

ernment, where decision making
is in student hands, and theirs —
where there is no self-government,
decisions being made by the ad-
ministration. :
All four found Bryn Mawr. far
more “dorm-oriented” than their
own colleges, which they found to
be both good and bad,’ giving on
the one hand a “sehse of commun-
ity” but on the other hand fit
ing campus-wide friendships.
Bryn Mawr girls on. the whole
were found to be very mtch like
those at Sarah Lawrence, but less
interested in. the arts, perhaps,
and more neatly dressed. Compared
to Swarthmore we are: more homo-
geneous and heavier eaters. All

Weber Discusses . |
‘Theme Of Absurb
In Modern Novel

M. Jean-Paul Weber, visiting: lec-
turer in French; discussed, on ,Tues-
day evening, the. successive steps in
the development of the theme of
“Vabsurd” in modern French litera-
ture. .

He prefaced his remarks by not-
ing that only an idea or judgment
absurd. Trapiict in the concept of
“Yabsurd”’ is “une impermeabilité
a la certitude.” In other words, an

— absurd.idea is .a belief. =

In tracing the treatment of this
idea in novelists from Kafke» to Io-
nesco, M. Weber noted that each
novelist considered an absurd a dif-
ferent aspect of life. Kafka, for ex-
ample, attacks the absurd in modern
institutions, Gireaudoux emphasized
“Yabsurd personnel”, while Sartre
realized “l’absurdité de existence”.
Camus, on the other hand, realized
the absurdity of “1’existence entre-
personnelle.” Ionesco’is particularly
concerned with “l’absurde du- lan-
gage”,

Each had in common the desire to
strip the aura of absolute truth from
those concepts which in reality can
be upheld by faith alone.
