Rhys Carpenter
Will Speak On
Ancient Greeks
Dr. Rhys Carpenter, Professor
Emeritus of Classical Archaeology,
will give the Horace White Memor-
ial Lectures for 1957-1958 on “My-
cenaean Greek: A New Glimpse
into the Past.”
The first of three lectures is to be
presented on Monday, October 21
at 8:30 p.m. and will be on “Decip-
herment.” The second will cover
“Content” and the last “Signifi-
cance.”
Dr. Carpenter joined the Bryn
Mawr faculty in 1918, after he had
been called to the College by Miss
Thomas to lay the foundations of
a department which has become
the stronghold of Classical Arch-
aeology in this country. A Rhodes
Scholar, Dr. Carpenter obtained his
B.A.-from. Balliol College in 1911,
and returned to the U. S. to take
his Ph. D. at Columbia in 1916.
He served as Director of the|
Amerisan School of Classical Stud-
ies jn Athens from 1927-1932—an
assignment which jhe resumed in
1946, :
An eminent and well-known arch-
aeologist in the U, S,, Dr. Car-
penter has brought great distinc-
tion to the College through his
many books and lectureg given at
universities and institutes through-
out the ¢ountry.
In 1954, after serving-Bryn Mawr
for forty-two years, Dr. Carpenter
retired from the faculty. He has
joined the American School of
Classical Studies in Athens, always
as Professor Carpenter himself
says, “quite a Bryn Mawr outpost.”
2 Alumnae Serve
As New Wardens
by Miriam Beames
Among the hordes of people
swelling Bryn Mawr’s enrollment
are five new wardens, two of
whom graduated from this college,
Miss Patricia Onderdonk, in Den-
bigh, graduated from Bryn Mawr
in 1962. Although she majored in
French, her main interest was
the theatre—she directed her class’
freshman and junior shows, and
was president of College Theatre.
Since graduation, she has held var-
ious jobs in New York, among
them one with the Institute of
International Education, where she
helped with the preliminary screen-
ing for Fulbright scholarships.
Mrs. Margaret Smith, taking
over for Miss Nancy Tatum in
Rhoads, has made a double addition
to the hall: with her is Miss Marcia
Smith, aged eight. After gradu-
ating from Barnard, where she ma-
jored in (Political Science, Mrs.
Smith received a degree in social
work from Bryn Mawr, and is a
professional social worker. At
present she is taking courses in
education and is interested in
guidance, counseling, and adminis-
college level. Marcia (who seems
to have formed a strong friendship
with the hall) and her duties as a
warden keep Mrs. Smith busy; she
reports an interest in’ music, but
no time for any hobbies. oo
Miss Naney Blackwood, Bryn
Mawr ’51, is Pembroke East’s new
warden, succeeding Miss Pilar Gon-
zalez. (While in college, she was
ident of League. She also held
places on the hockey, badminton,

Heads Events Of.
Big Jr. Weekend
~\by Liz Rennolds
Preparations aré well under way
for what may go down in history
as Bryn Mawr’s “Lost Weekend.”
For the records, however, it’s actu-
ally the new, improved Junior

that Junior Prom now follows Jun-
ior Show . .. makes this one of the
big weekends of the year.)
To get you “In The Mood” Friday
night following the dress rehearsal
of Junior Show, East House will
hold an Open Mixer (that’s a cross
between an Open House and a Mix-
er, girls). Just tell ’em Joe sent
you!
Saturday afternoon at 2:30 in
Skinner, the Dance Club will per-
‘| form and there will be a jazz con-
cert immediately afterwards (tick-
ets are free with show tickets),
Playing for the jazz concert and
the dance later Saturday night is
“The Purple Knights Quintet” from
Williams College.
Speak Easily opens at 8:30 in
Goodhart, and all seats to this per-
formance are reserved. Following
this musical by the class of ‘69,
the formal Undergrad Dance yin
honor of the Juniors wil eld

tion Prom,” naturally. Everyone’s
welcome and expected,
Rock will (ahem) rock after-

Wilson Assesses The Extent
Of Bard’s Comic Achievement
Mr. F. P. Wilson, Professor of
English Literature,.Oxford Univer-
sity, gave the Ann _ Elizabeth
Sheble lecture in Goodhart Mon-
day evening.
His topic, “Shakespeare and the
Comedy of His Time” was concern-
ed primarily with showing Shakes-
peare’s accomplishment and break
with the dramatic tradition of the
early seventeenth century.
During Shakespeare’s life there
was no one simple mode of comedy.

Secrecy Enshrouds
'59’s ‘Speak Easily’
by Sue Goodman .
The Juniors have chosen to take
advantage of female curiosity by
refusing to divulge anything but a
few cold facts about their forth-
coming production, “Speak Easily,”
on October 18 and 19, in the hpoes
that they wil attract ticket-buyers
more numerous and inquisitive than
ever before, Or, is their lack of
verbosity merely an adamant asser-
tion on their part that they cannot
be made to “speak easily” about
matters confidential ?
In order to get their audience
in the proper temperament for the
show, i.e, not highly temperate,
the Juniors have publicized the
fact that the action takes place
during prohibition in the 1920's
on board a British ocean liner, on
route to the United States. Fur-
thermore, to conserve-our deductive
and imaginary powers, they “were
kind enough to add that the cast
includes Russian aristocrats,
American society couple, bootleg-
gers and just “plain br ical

“Comedies were varied in form,
tone and achievement, They were
romantic, domestic, sophisticated,
naive, etc.” .. . “Out of chaos
Shakespeare made order and ex-
celled among his contemporaries,”
Mr. Wilson gave two examples
of Elizabethan comedy: Thomas
Heywood’s Fair Maid of the West
and Ben Jonson’s Alchemist.
‘Heywood Play
The former introduced ‘romance,
excitement ‘and spectacle.” at. is ..
the story of a young virtuous
maiden, Bess. whose lover must
leave her for Spain, and leave her
to the mercy of all .and sundry.
Bess in--disguise sails after her ,
lover to Morocco Wwhere,.. after ke~-
~ lis thought dead, they are happily
reunited and thus constancy is re-
warded, The’ play’s’ moral
Sentiment is of the conventional
kind.” It, is “broadly humorous
and contains simple, homely path-
os.” Usually such a play is pop- °
ular in any age, but seldom out-
lives the age.”
Comedy and Customs
Ben Jonson followed Sidney’s
dictum for comedy as a “moral
agent for the correction of man-
ners (in which) pleasure is mixed
with instruction,” Unlike Heywood,
Jonson’s sets are strictly in Eng-
land, usually London, and the char-
acters are always of the middle
class contemporary England. “To
insist that comedy must always
imitate the customs and character
of contemporary Society is to con-
fuse realism with reality,” Mr, Wil-
son said.
Jonson generally adhered to the
ancient rules of unity in time and
place. In the Alchemist these ex-
ternally imposed unities work to-
gether easily. Mr. Wilson pointed
out that Jonson followed rules only
“if they agreed with him,”
Unity of Winter’s Tale
“Shakespeare never aimed at a
pre-conceived idea of structure.
He knew comedy and broke every
rule known to Renaissance theatre.
In Winter's Tale he broke both the
unities of time and Place, “Order”
in Shakespearean comedy is self-
imposed. The unity of The Winter’s *
Tale is “more sensitive and compli-
cated” than any external restric-
tion could make it. Through the
play run Opposite themes of art’
and nature, guilt and innocence
and most of all, youth and art.
The play is retroactive in that
every scene in the early part af
the play proves Significant as the
play. develops: ~

Finally Defined
Last Thirsday Undergrad Council defined its position
viz. attendance of Lantern Night rehearsals and -meetings.
Ais now. established, these meetings are to be required and
fined... One-free eut-will be allowed during’ the first week, but”
none during the second week of rehearsals. However, a stu-
dent not planning to participate in the tradition may be ex-
empt from all preparatory sessions as long as she informs
her class president, songmistress or hall rep. We applaud
~~ this articulation of policy on a matter heretofore vague and
\misunderstood. ee
In an editorial.last May we asked for “clarification of
the system of ‘required and fined’ song meetings.” We not-
ed that the policy now formally esablished was temporally
tried last year. Namely, it involves excusing those definitely
against participation, while maintaining a strict fines system
We also noted that this instituced
the paradox of fining those whose spirit may flag once or
twice, while leaving those completely indifferent students
alone. Po
Now, as before, we believe that no student is required
to take part in a tradition if she has no desire todo so. We’
are pleased that the Undergraduate Council has now come
out with a clear statement of the student’s obligaiton towards
college traditions.
As we see it, the Council’s statement permits those who
sincerely and actively oppose the idea of all-college tra-
ditions to be excused. It means that students who might be
working toward their college support need not be burdened-
with fines because working hours conflict or because they
connot fit rehearsing time into their full-time schedules. But
this statement is not a go-ahead for mass abstention. In-it
the Council has defined its general policy regarding tradi-
tions, as well as given the particulars on Lantern Night. In
the future the underlying principle will remain the same, but
as each tradition date draws near specifics will be announced.
. Again, it does not legalize absences due to lethargy and in-
eytia. Unquesionably, it is easier to remain behind while
the others tramp out to song meetings during those lazy
hours after lunch and before dinner. Much energy and both-
er can be conserved by simply not participating. We hope,
‘of course, that the true intent of the decision will not be
ignored by using it to excuse personal laziness. or.conformity
to laziness.
~ Unfortunately, a fines system is necessary. Without
this measure of “persuasion” sufficient numbers of those not |

‘Education is dear, alas. Next
time you trot across campus to
Taylor, Park or Dalton, you might
figure out just how precious the
next 60 minutes were going to be,
and if your computations were.ac-
curate enough, you might break
into a gallop so as not to miss one
of them, Roughly speaking there
are 380 active weeks of college.
That means each week’s instruction
is about $28 per capita ($850 divid-
ed by 30);
Supposing you have 12 hours of
classes; each hour is worth $2.50
(four times as much as two hours
of movies). Of course the more
hours of classes you have the
cheaper each hour is.
Considering this factor think of
the bargain rates you get for en-
rolling in History of Art 101 or
Geology, both of which offer six
full hours. a. week instead of the
usual three. And by the same token
consider the extraordinary value
of a lecture that comes but once
a week,
If you should be late to class or
worse still if your professor should
be late, you lose a nickel a minute.
As for a free cut—well just think

remember the centennial confer-
ence on Woodrow Wilson, held at
the college on January 5 and 6,
1956, at which Arthur S. Link,
William L, Langer and Eric F.
Goldman delivered a series of lec-
tures entitled “Freedom for Man—
A World Safe for. Mankind.”..Now.
these four lectures are available in
book form, edited and with a fore-
ward by Arthur P. Dudden, Asso-
ciate Professor of History, and
entitled Woodrow Wilson and The
World of Today.
Viewpoint on Wilson
Each essay deals with different
aspects of Wilson’s personality in
relation to events—his philosophy
of leadership and its impact, his
ideals and beliefs undergoing the
test of war, his shift from a policy
of isolation to one of meditation,|
and his hopes and plans for peace
and a new world order, Although
each essay is valuable and complete
in itgelf, the collection forms a uni-
fied whole which provides excellent
Wilsonian material for the histor-
ian. An informal and extremely
readable style characterizes all the
essays, resulting in a volume
which should be of interest to all.
Wilson and Presidency
Arthur §S. Link in his essay on
“Woodrow Wilson: The Philosophy,
Methods and Impact of Leadership”
claims that Wilson’s expansion and
perfection of the powers of the
presidency was one of his most
lasting contributions. He felt that
the ideal leader was a man of
strong moral character, decisive
and able to lead people, and that
the president must be the spokes-
man of the nation in every way.
Through the virtuosity of his ora-
the people and made public opin-
ion a spur to Congress. By taking
la strong lead and accomplishing
many domestic reforms under the
slogan of the New Freedom, he
was able to answer the question of
how to bring a growing economy
under effective social control.
In his first essay gn Wilson and
foreign policy, entitled “From Iso-
lation to Mediation,” William L.
Langer stresses Wilson’s abhor-
neutrality. He felt that the United
States was the ideal mediator, that
this country should arrange a just
pean powers and form an organ-
ization to prevent war in the
future, These aims were not wel-

comed by the European countries,
and the German government, by
violating the moral code with its
submarine warfare, forced Wilson
to declare war which necessitated a
change of policy. —
Wilson In War
In “Woodrow Wilson: The Test
of War,” Eric. F..Goldman.presents:
the problems faced by Wilson in
organizing public opinion to sup-
port the war. effort. After rousing
opinion against German militarism
and in support of the Allied cause
“to make the world safe for democ-
racy“ Wilson was unable to realize
his most cherished ideas of a
“Peace without victory” and the
League of Nations. His faith that
the common man would make the
right decision was betrayed and the
American democracy had seemingly
won the war but lost its soul.
- Wilson As Peace Leader
Langer’s second essay on “Peace
and the New World Order” deals
with the conflict between Allied
and U. S. war aims as formulated
by Wilsow in his 14 Points. In going
to the peace conference Wilson
felt that he represented the will
of the American people in spite of
the fact that his plea for a Demo-
cratic Congress had returned a
| Republican majority. In Europe he
was hailed by the people as the
man who had brought about victory
and at the conference he was un-
able to prevent a dictated peace,
much to his dismay. The acceptance
of the League by the European
countries was the only ray of hope,
but it failed to pass Congress and
he was left a broken man. Wilson
set his sights too high and his
convictions and faith blinded him
to the meanness of people and
reality.
Arthur P. Dudden’s foreward
serves as a general background and
introduction to the essays.

Royal ‘We’, Finds
Some New Blood
by Theo Stillwell (coerced)
No typewriter sacred to the
News did Michael tilt at this week.
Instead he came to Us (the plural
is Royal, not Editorial) under com-
pulsion, and used Our pencil., He
did not have much to say about the
literati; he rather chose to take a
new field.
“T felt the need of fresh blood,”
he wrote.
He mentioned the new arrivals
on campus: the Weimaraner puppy,
the large houndish dog, the Irish
setter, the Pembroke pigeon, and
the young black snake in the
Cloister. He regretted the demise
of the Kelpie. Then he seemed to
lose all inspiration and dropped the
pencil. He looked at Us angrily and
waved his cane at Our face.
“How can I think with people
breathing on me? Let me alone
and I will write a bitter critical
column with personal comment,”
“Well,” We said timidly, for We
are terrified of Editors, “That
is not a Good: Thing, but per-
haps you could write how much
the new arrivals have added to the
campus, and how glad we are to
have them, and—well—how glad
they are to be here (but make it
seem spontaneous).” bea
tie shrugged “and tiirned away,
obviously not stimulated by Us.
Then he grinned.
“Next week,” he said, “I will
get ideas from Them.” (That is,
the other Us—the Editorial one.)
He left quickly, taking Our pen-
cil with him (so We have had to
write this one in typewriter). He
had better find Them because Some
of Us (Editorial and Other) are
going to have to stop hedging >
around one of these weeks, and it
had better be Them, not Us.
Coane {Elucidates
Policy on Tradition
The Undergrad Council has es-
tablished the following policy in
reference to Lantern Night Re-
hearsals and meetings.
1. The meetings are to be re-
quired and fined. A fine of fifty
cents will be charged foreach un-
excused absence: If, however, a
student is not planning to partici-
pate in the Lantern Night rites,
she will be exempted froni the song
meetings and practices after tell-
ing her class president, song mis-
tress, or class hall rep.
2. There will be one free cut dur-
ing the first week of rehearsals.
Because of the nature of the re-
hearsals during the second week,
however, no free cuts can be given.

Denbigh’s Satire
On Russia Stars:
Parry and Baker
\ by Anna Kisselgoff
Denbigh’s play, Free Speech, pre-
sented its actresses with the difficult
task of sustaining interest in a
performance with much talk, little
action,
A satire on Soviet Russia’s use
of free speech or lack thereof, the
play concerned itself with the deli-
berations of seven Russian guards
as to the fate of their prisoner.
Jane Parry was very effective as
the commanding corporal, not
strong enough to resist the compli-
cations produced by free speech but
sensible enough to save his. skin
when the tide turns against him.
-B. J. Baker was dexterous in her
‘ougue-twisting speeches as_ the
parlimentarian ‘presiding over the
voting by all concerned, and Sue
Goldsmith was light hearted
enough as the happy bomb-setting
prisoner.
Well-Dreseed Comrades
The costumes of the guards were
extremely simple but eye-catching
precisely because ‘of the jngenuity
used in the color combinations of
the outfits.
One problem the players were
faced with was the necessity of
imitating a Russian accent. Al-
though it is true some of the in-
tonations ranged from near-Mus-
covite- to accents more Germanic
than Slavic, Ann Hoffman, Gail
Lasdon, Isabella Sommerhoff, Cary
Webb Hank, and Lois Fleischer
as the other guards and those pre-
viously mentioned did a creditable
job, Again, the play’s lack of action
prevented it from moving quickly
but Denbigh did the best that could
be done with a piece of passive
writing.
Rhoads’ Production
Is Brisk, Amusing
by Sue Schapiro
For their hall play, the freshmen
of Rhoads chose The Rehearsal.
As its name suggests, the theme is
a rehearsal, specifically of Shakes-
peare’s Macbeth by the Globe Thea-
tre Company.
The play was directed by Susan
Kenny. Sarah Bosworth was stage
manager, and Lucy Wales served
as upper-class advisor. In the cast
were Anita Dopico as the producer,
Meredith Presbrey as the stage
manager, Alice Brown as author
Shakespeare, Diana Burgess as a
doctor, and en players of the
role-with-in-a-rote,.of Globe Thea-
tre Company me rs appearing
in Macbeth: Arleen Beberman
(whose cackled comments won her
more than one laugh from the audi-
enge), Hannah Woods, and Linda
Wheat as the three witches;-Poly
Merrill as Banquo, Adrian Shore
as Macbeth, Gretchen Mack as Mac-
beth, and Becky Bromley as Mac-
Duff.
Excellent costuming made The
Rehearsal colorful to watch. The
actors had their parts well in hand,
especially with respect to lines,
and the presentation was on the
whole ‘smooth and the pace brisk
and confident, despite the consider-
able size of the cast. The play it-
self offers a clever idea and num-
erous amusing lines as it spoofs
artistic temperament and contrasts
meek, docile, retiring, black-suited
Mr. Shakespeare with the pompous,
self-centered and self-satisfied play-
ers who introduced his now immort-
al lines. However, a better-than-
nodding acquaintance with Macbeth
is necessary for a real appreciation
of the humor of the twisted lines,
transposed speeches, and inappro-
priate gestures.
“Thirteen Clocks” In Pantomime
Wins Honors For Pembroke East
by Debby Ham
Pembroke East’s adaptation of
James Thurber’s The Thirteen
Clocks, directed by Jan Douglass,
was well deserving of the honor-
able mention it received in the hall
competition. In total effect the
play was . delightful; the action
was swift, the character delinea-
tions clears
Perhaps, however, a play in pan-
tomime with a narrator could often
take second place, but never first
as it generally demands less of
the actors, ‘None the less, from
audience viewpoint, the play was
' a complete success.
The Thirteen Clocks is a fantasy
about a duke, “even colder than he
thought he-was,” who tries to de-
molish all the princess’ suitors so.
he can marry her himself. when
she becomes of age.
The duke, Natalia Gortchacow,
looked, appropriately evil, not to
say lecherous, and even though
on stage almost. the whole time,
his gestures and limp never ceased
to fascinate.
The princess Saralinda, played by
Charlotte Pretty, was Ipvely in
more than the conventsénal way.
With sparkling toreador pants, a
cigarette holder, a rose between
-the teeth, and a very persuasive
walk, her charms were enough to
attract any suitor.
Prince Zorn, -Alice Powley, the
most determined of suitors (indi-
cated by Haverford beanie?) strut-
ted about in disguise with a guitar.
If Prince Zorn was not a true-to-
form melancholy minstrel, he was
a ‘wonderful ‘burlesque of same.
And here credit should also go to
the innovator who managed the El-
vis Presley accompaniment.
‘The Golux, played by Merle
Balsley, who knows the duke’s
mind, but is sympathetic, with
Prince Zorn, did a good job as med-
iator between the two.
Hagga, the old woman, played by
Megs Williams, important to the
plot, though she only appeared
briefly, looked and symbolized her
part excellently, “eyes dry as des-
erts and mouth made of stone.”
The narrator, Grace Stevens, had
-a—pleasant—voice,; and her reading
and the stage action were well co-
ordinated.
The fantastic Todal played by
Bonny Bonnett and Lois Potter
deserves ,special mention for its
facsimile of “rabbits screaming”
and its ability to gleep. Mr. Thur-
ber would doubtless be pleased.
The supporting characters ade-
quately completed the play. Roo
Stainton and Penny Morgan were
the luckless suitors. The guard
was played by Pat Holland. The
townspeople were Kathy Hubbard,
Betty Myer, Lois Potter and Janet
Campbell. Gay Booth doubled for
Smell and Whisper. Bonny Bonnett
and Audrey Wallenburg were stage
managers.
In this year’s Freshman Hall
Play competition, Pembroke
West won first prize while Pem-
broke East received Honorable
mention. The judges were Mrs.
Btoughton,*Miss Howe, and Ad-
rian Tinsley, College Theatre
president. The plays were pre-
sentd_in.Skinner Workshop, Fri-
day and Saturday nights.
Stagecraft, Mime
In East House’s
“Dick Whittington’
by Gretchen Jessup
The East House mime, The Story
of Dick Whittington, showed a com-
mendable taste for experimentation,
in its treatment of a favorite
standard of folk lore, one which
has offered a giddy number of
children, not to mention adults, #
glimpse of that solacé of good be-
-havior, virtue rewarded, Obviously
the freshmen had enjoyed whipping
up their pleasant interlude by
means which can indeed make a
very interesting combination of
stage techniques—off stage music,
mime, narration, little stage set-
ting and much suggestion: These
lead to a sort of creation by re-
flection, by indirection.“It is really
a method suitable to something not
real or everyday, such as folk
lore or a fairy tale, and the fresh-
men did well to try it, given the
subject they chose,
However, the performance was
not equal to their intentions, which
were apparently rather too am-
bitious for the short rehearsal time
freshmen plays allow. Of course,
time is always the secret director
of every freshman play, as much
the prick to inspiration, as it is
the frequent perplexer of purpose.
One can’t help feeling that one
great difficulty of Dick W. was an
indecisiveness of mood—it might
have been amusing, a sprightly
spoof, or it might have striven for
the credibility of the incredible that
true. fairly tales have. Had the
freshmen permitted ‘themselves a
greater degree of wit in the details
of the production, they would have

Rock’s Adaptation
Is Well-Rehearsed
by Sue Goodman
On Friday night Rockefeller un-
veiled The Education of Hyman
Kaplan as its bid for the coveted
“Critics Award.” The action took
place in an English class for adult
immigrants. The responsiveness of
the audience may be partially at-
tributed to its ability to project
themselves to’some extent into the
play because of their intimate ac-
quaintance with its setting. How-
ever, most credit fér the play’s
success belongs to the actors for
| their_obviously_well-rehearsed—ren-
dition of the dialogue, and to the
Director: Jane Franzblau, the
Upper Class Adviser: Sue Safier
and the Stage Manager: Justine
Petersen.
The lead was Jane Loveless who
portrayed Hyman Kaplan. Her suc-
cess was due to her ability to lose
herself in the character, which en-
abled her to retain a pronounced
German accent throughout and to
convey the serious purpose of Mr.
Kaplan in spite of the emphasis
on his humorous. word concoctions.
Barbara Gambrill, who repre-
sented the teacher’s mind, also
played an important role. She com-
mented on what Miss Parkhill (the
teacher), Baxie Bender, told the

Pembroke West Captures Critics’
Award Second Consecutive Year
by Jana Varlejs
Pem West seems to be well on
the way toward establishing a
tradition, having captured the
plaque for the second consecutive
year. Phe fortunate choice of script,
The Odyssey of Runyon Jones,
eoupled with the appealing inter-
pretation of the leading character
by Cisca Duran-Reynals made the
judges’ choice little less than in-
evitable. :
The story of Runyon’s search for
his dog in Curgatory is not only a
gentle dig at the ins and outs, red
tape, and hierarchy of “organized
law and order,” but a delightful
comedy in itself. The part of
Runyon was convincingly portrayed
by Cisca, who aptly could be a mis-
chieveous sprite one moment and
a hot-tempered ruffian the next,
but who never allowed the audience
to forget that Runyon was just a
lonely boy who loved his dog: fier-
cely.
Runyon, victim of the “pass-the-
buck” routine, was relayed from
department to department, accom-
panied along his celestial course by
strains of “harp” music (via the
guitar of Dee Wheelwright). He
passed through the hands of num-
erous receptionists and officious
clerks, among them Bea Kipp and
Melissa Lordan, only to be referred
to Father Time. Dee Rosenberg
characterized him well as the de-
partment head overduly impressed
with his own capabilities.
Others along Runyon’s circuitous
route to Curgatory were Evie Card-
well as Mother Nature—vitamin D
in a Greek toga; Dee Crispin as the
Harpie—actions speak‘louder than
words; and Gene Hubb as the
giant-pleasure before business.
Directed by Kate Evans, advised
by Ronnie Wolffe and Sue Jones,
the play seldom lagged and main-
tained consistency of interpretation
throughout. Under the direction of
stage manager Cornelia Wadsworth
the stage crew handled thé fre-
quent transitions and changes of
scenery smoothly and rapidly.
Radnorites Uphold
Spoofing Tradition
Introduced as a production “in
the style of the commedia dell-
arte” with “strolling players,”
Radnor’s Mind Over Matter on Fri-
day, promised to carry out that
Hall’s theatre-spoof tradition of
last year.
Janet Lamborghini, ably doubling
as announcer and on-stage makeup
“crew,” introduced the protagon-
ists of the “drama” while bedeck-
ing them with representative marks
of their calling (these ranged from
jewels to dark rings under the
eyes).
First came Pierrot, poet but poor.
Then Pierrette, actress, beloved of
Pierrot of course. Pantaloon, glove
manufacturer but unsuccessflil
poet, was followed by Madam Buc-
royan, fortune teller. A chorus
clad in the ubiquitous academic
gowns, singing the show’s only
musical number. (admittedly stolen
from The Boy Friend) rounded out
the cast.
As the fortune teller, Jane Bull-
ard underplayed her part in a high-
ly amusing manner. Continuing in
the same satirical vein, Genevieve
Vaughan as Pierrot, Marian Will-
ner as Pierrette, and Gloria Cum-
mings as Pantaloon started out
quite well in the dealings with
Pierrot’s and Pantaloon’s rivalry
for Pierrette’s. love and the men’s
subsequent exchange of positions
in life. Marian Willner’s singing
with the chorus was very good;
Freshmen show in February would
do well to make use of her lovely
‘voice.
Unfortunately, the acting in the
last few moments ofthe play broke
down. and one wondered if the
prompter were not playing too
great a part. However, even at this
point, Radnor’s players were still
in-the spirit of their spoof and good
humoredly proved that the ad lib
is not so bad an institution after
all.
The Junior Class is pleased
to announce the election of
Angie Wishnack as its Secretary.
Merion Displays
Talent In “Tenor”
by Barbara Broome
Merion Hall’s production of The
Tenor, which opened the series of
ning, showed evidence of good
direction (thanks to Liz Lynes).
Technically the play was well done
with most of the characters exhib-
iting good stage presence.
The choice of this particular
play, however, left much to be
desired as it unfortunately did not
allow the players to fully display
their abilities. The plot,
centered about Gerardo, a hand-
some opera singer who becomes in-:
volved in numerous conflicts be-
tween his ART and designing wom-
en, was rather limited in its sim
‘plicity.
Betty Ferber as Gerardo handled
the leading role well in spite of the
many difficulties such a character
presents. She displayed good facial
expression and her movements on
the stage were convincing, twa
for her rather feminine voice.
Character Performance
Helen and the young girl, two
of ‘the many women in Gerardo’s
life, (portrayed by Nahma Sandrow
and Harriet Wasserman, respect-
ively) also were well presented.
Each, a definite character type, al-
lowed the player more freedom
than a less colorful role might
have.
“Another portrayal which deserves
special mention was that given by
Toni Killip. as an old man trying
to sell his opera to Gerardo. This
role, the pitiful old man, lacked
the vividness and humor of the
three previously mentioned charac-
ters and for this reason was in
many way, one of the most difficult
to play. Toni, however, did a most
adequate job and presented an in-
teresting contrast to her fellow
players.
The three lesser characters in the
production,-the two servants and
the second girl found hiding in
Gerardo’s room, although certainly
not prominent figures, were also
adequately portrayed by Judy Lef-
kowitz, Marti Resnikov and Bar-
bara Reid respectively.

Concrete Thoughts
From West Indies
For those who admire the the
Charlie Chaplin school of humor,
involving a persistent integrity in
an irrespectful world, we reprint
the following offering \from the
Manchester Guardian Weekly:
“A striking lesson in keeping the
upper lip stiff is given in a recent
number of the weekly bulletin of
the Federation of Civil Engineer-
ing Contractors, which prints the
following letter from a bricklayer
in Barbados to the firm for whom
he worked:
Respected Sir:
When. I got to the building, I
found that the hurricane had
knocked some bricks off the top.
So I rigged up a beam with a
pulley at the top of the building
and hoisted up a couple of barrels
full of bricks. When I had fixed the
building, there was a lot of bricks
left over, I hoisted the barrel back
the bottom, and then went up and
filled the barrel with extra bricks.
Then I went to the bottom and cast
off the line, Unfortunately, the
barrel of bricks was heavier than
I was, and before I knew what was
happening the barrel started down,
jerking me off the ground. I decided
to hang on and halfway up I met
the barrel coming down. and re-
ceived a severe blow the shoulder.
|T then continued to the top, bang-
ing my head against the beam and
getting my fingers jammed in the
pulley. When the barrel hit the
ground it bursted its bottom, allow-
ing all the bricks to spill out. I
was now heavier than the barrel
and so started down’ again at high
speed, Halfway down, I met the
barrel coming up and _ received
severe injuries to my shins. When
I hit the ground I landed on the
bricks, getting several painful cuts
from the sharp edges.
At this point I mast have lost my
presence of mind, because I let go
the line. The barrel then came
down giving me another heavy blow
on the head and putting me in hos-
pital. I respectfully request sick
leave.”

found the play much easier to do,
and much livelier; without needing

humorous touch in itself, All the

jects with which they were well-
acquainted, such as cooking or
home-making. With little excep-
tion they avoided the natural tend-
ency to overplay humorous distor-

the result that these did not dom-
inate the essentially serious under-
lying theme.

from learned members of the phy-
sics department to roof-climbing
freshmen,
A telescope of 1899 vintage, long
remnant in Dalton’s basement, has
been mounted and set up on that
building’s roof by Lawrence Hol-
land, Millard Mier, and Joe Brown
all graduate students in the phy-
sics department. According to Sue
Myers ’58, an undergraduate par-
ticipating in the “project,” efforts
have been made to spot Sputnik
but so far it has not been sighted.
In addition, the telescope’s eye-
piece has been replaced by a cam-
era in order to photograph Sputnik
when it does appear.
nik-spotters (all unsuccessful) were
the early risers on Pem West’s
roof, Denbigh green and Radnor
roof at 6:00 a.m., Tuesday. Accord-
ing to a’ Pem West resident, her
group not only failed to see Sput-
nik but had difficulty in finding the
sun. .-

Russians’ Satellite
Sputnik Provokes
Speculation, Statistics and Insomnia
Sputnik, the recently ‘launched
Russian space satellite, was the
topic of a discussion led by Professor
Walter Michels of the Physics De-
partment Monday evening in the
Common Room, During the course
of the evening, a great variety of
questions pertaining to the satellite
were raised. Although the major
portion of these were scientific
ones, several questions entered both
the social and political realm.
In opening the discussion, Pro-
fessor Michels gave a few statistics
about the satellite, illustrating his
remarks with a scale model, This
model showed the satellite revolv-
ing about the earth once every min-
ute (the satellite actually revolves
about the earth once every ninety-
six minutes). Professor Michels
further commented that the satel-
lite is approximately 140 miles
from the earth at its lowest point
and approximately 540 at its high-
est. .
‘ Two of the first questions raised
in the discussion, pertained to a
comparison of Russian and Amri-
can technology in this field. In
response to the query about what
United States scientists have been
doing in this area, Professor
Michels said that, to the best of
|his knowledge, America: has de-
signed and built six such satellites
leach... weighin.g.appreximately
twenty pounds (Sputnik weighs
approximately .184 pounds). The
difficulty here, Professor Michels
further commented, have been with
rocket design. There is every in-
dication here, he added, that the
Russians adapted a military rocket
and from this one may concludé
that their progress is equal to or
above ours,
In response to another technical
question about how long the satel-
lite will stay up, Professor Michels
commented briefly upon two factors
which may influence the lifetime
of the satellite: (1) the possibility
of a meteor striking it and (2) the
density of the air. Because infor-
mation about these two factors is
very limited, however, a prediction
of this kind is extremely difficult.
]
Dr. Michels did mention, however,
that if he were asked to estimate
the lifetime of the rocket, he would
say somewhere between two months
and one year.
In response to further questions,
Dr. Michels commented that there
is little chance of the satellite’s be-
ing able to map the United States
at the present time. This, he added,
would involve a much more detailed
coding system and a langer lens.
At the present time without a
larger satellite any mapping either
visual or by sound would not be
precise enough to be of any prac-
tical use. Russia reports, however,
that Sputnik is measuring the tem-
perature of the air, though as yet
we have not been able to fathom
its signals.
International Science
The exchange of scientific infor-
mation between the United States
and Russia was another question
this Professor Michels replied that
within the last three years there
has been a good exchange of non-
military scientific information. He
gave as an‘example conferences
held both here and in East and
West Germany.
Ariother question later in the dis-
cussion pertained to the possibility
of our seeing the satellite. Here
Professor Michels said that the
time at which the satellite may be
‘visible is about 6:30 a.m. There is
a slight possibility that it may be
visible to the naked eye. (Ideally
one would see a mpderately bright
point of light resembling a star,
the rocket, and a few minutes later
a weaker point of light following
it (the satellite itself), but that
binoculars or a telescope are ad-
visable,

Alliance Begins
‘2 . ° e.e
Year’s Activities
The Alliance activities for 1957
began with an enthusiasm that
spoke well for the coming ‘year.
On Thursday, Oct, 10, a joint meet-
ing for the Bryn Mawr and Haver-
ford Young Democrats was held at
Haverford, Although it is not an
election year and the Bryn Mawr
Young Democrats do not yet have
a ‘president, many good opportunit-
ies exist for interested students.
One such opportunity is attending
a regional democratic dinner to
plan coming activities.
Current Events began its year
Monday evening. Dr. Michels of the
Physics Department spoke on the
Soviet space satellite. Further plans
for Current Events will be announ-
ced later,
A Sophomore in Japan, Hiroko
Yamaguchi, has written the Alli-
ance, She would like to correspond
with a student at Bryn Mawr, pre-
ferably an English major. Anyone
interested in corresponding with
her should consult Martha Bridge.
NSA Chairman, Pattie Pelton,
anounced that the Alliance would
hold a tea on UN Day (Oct. 24).
Some of the foreign students in the
graduate center will be invited to
come to meet the undergraduates
and to speak on the role of women
in politics in their own countries.
