Events Causing
Moroccan Crisis
Difficult Problem Stems
From History Of
Domination
The crisis in North Africa, es-
pecially Morocco, is of special in-
terest to the United States, ac-
cording to Mr. Edward: Latham.
Mr. Latham, who spoke at the
LR.C. meeting on Tuesday after-
noon in the Common Room, has
traveled a great deal in North
Africa and is the author of a book
entitled Crisis in the Middle East.
The present bloodshed and boy-
cott of French goods in Morocco
are merely the culmination of a
long chain of events. Last August’s
bloody riot and the organized ter-
rorism by which some French or
Moroccan government official is
murdered every day are causing:
great concern to the French gov-
ernment and the French inhabi-
tants of Morocco.
France established a protector-
ate im Morocco in 1912. The coun-
try actually was not subdued until
the 1930’s, at which time the
French began economic and mili-
tary improvements which contin-
ued until World War II.
The war gave great impetus to
emigration. to Morocco, as many
‘people were anxious to escape
from direct German domination in
France. The Moroccan natives
stood by France during the war
and supplied excellent fighting
forces for the invasion of Italy.
Reaction against French domin-
ation began after World War II
due to ideas put forth in the At-
lantic Charter. In Algeria a riot
took place which lasted three days
and in which 45,000 natives were
killed, In Tunisia and Morocco
there were no such bloody upris-
ings, but much agitation.

‘Sara Sue Lewis States Requisites
For Acceptance By Seven Colleges
Interest in education, ability,
and a certain “well roundedness”
are the primariy requisites for en-
trance into any member school of
the Seven College Conference. So
stated Miss Sara Sue Lewis, newly
appointed field director of the con-
ference, during her recent visit to
Bryn Mawr.
Although Miss Lewis was talk-
ing about any prospective student,
her attention is being focused on
the potential students in the mid-
dle and far West.
The Seven College Conference
Program offers twenty-one region-
al scholarships for attendance at
any of the participating—schools,
Their aim is to bring together on
‘eastern campuses a greater repre-
sentation of students from the en-
tire United States making educa-
tional opportunity available to
- women of exceptional ability. -
Miss Lewis does little actual in-
terviewing but visits the various
secondary schools talking to deans
and; counselors about the advan-
_ tages of an eastern education and
the high school programs which
make it possible. A sewing or cook-
ing course is of little use at Bryn
Mawr.
The girl from more distant sec-
tions’ of the country .brings as
much to the eastern school as the]:
college itself has to offer her, Miss
Lewis stated. Whether she chooses
Vassar or Bryn Mawr is of little
importance, for these seven schools,
Miss Lewis believes, are “more
alike than unalike.”
Contrary. to popular belief, the
seven member schools have no set
geographical ratios which they
must fill above all else. None
would turn down a well-qualified
girl from New York City. If, how-
ever, there were two students of
nearly equal ability—one from Ne-
braska and the other from New
Jersey—the former would prob-
ably be admitted. This, said the
conference’s field director, is be-
cause there is a much. greater
chance that the eastern girl will be
able -to receive an excelleat eduea-
tion elsewheee. ioe

since neither she nor the president,
Gail Gilbert, was here for all of
last year. Jan spent her Junior
year abroad at the University of
Florence and various ski resorts in
Austria.
Two of her interests, skiing and
Princeton, also her home town, are
in evidence the moment you look
at her walls. Her sports likes cen-
ter mostly around non-school
sports, like skiing and riding. Last
year while’ on a vacation in St.
Antone, Austria, Jan entered her
first skiing race and won. She
took first-place in the women’s di-
vision and second place overall, in
a race of about three miles and
under vile skiing conditions. Jan
got leave from the University for
this meet when she réally just was
interested in fetting away for
some skiing, and then decided that
perhaps it would be a good idea
to enter after all.
While in Italy she also played
some tennis. Although the Italians
are not overly sports minded, she

suits and thought Jan’s Bermuda
shorts were carrying things too
far. This emphasizes the differ-
ence between a collegiate cam-

Appealing Personalities,
Excellent Music
Make Hit
By Marcia
The . Juniors’ “Odd- ’N Eden”
turned out to be not really odd at
all, but a very appealing and de-
ligntful show. It was certainly a
very compact little show. The plot
was simple, and the action moved
at a fast pace. The dialogue, which
although amusing was not partic-
ularly brilliant or clever, was kept
to a minimum.’ And the songs and
dances were extremely well inte-
grated with the plot. It was these
songs and dances, coupled with as
charming personalities as have
probably ever appeared in a class
show, that made the Juniors’ pro-
duction such a fine show and such
a popular one with the audience.
All of the characters in “Odd 'N
Eden” were adequate—and most of
them were excellent. ‘Probably the
outstanding personality in the
show was Violet Shaw as the na-
tive girl. Tiny and graceful, she
exuded an innocence and joyful-
ness that brightened every scene in
which she appeared.
Clare Harwood created a lum-
bering, tough, but good-natured
Hector Malone. Clare wasn’t a
frightening convict; she was only
a casual, practical one with an eye
(and what tremendous eyes!) for
unexploited resources.
Delightful characters in their
own rights, Clare and Violet to-
gether were a show-stopper. In an
all-girl production it takes courage
to attempt an on-stage romance,
and it takes little short of genius
to put it over. But, ‘probably due
in part to the great differences be-
tween them in size and personal-
ity, these two made their love af-
fair both humorous and touching.

Lithi ddd dissttoil By Donnie
One of the more unusual of the
hall announcements that were bel-
lowed out Monday at lunch was a
request that students who weren’t
snowed by Richard III, Heraclit-
us or Portrait of the Artist, would
do well to head for the yard out-
side their halls and pick up branch-
es and other debris left by Hurri-
cane Hazel.
As a result of this the campus is
no longer in a complete state of
havoe as it was starting at about
eight the evening of the 15th. Hur-
ricane Hazel, romping up from the
Caribbean, hit Bryn Mawr, throw-
ing the campus into darkness. It
was far from being a truly trop-
ical type hurricane and not at all
as spectacular as the New England
or Florida storms, but Hazel did
manage to pull down an amazing
number of trees.
Until Monday evening Pembroke
West, the only hall still on DC cur-
rent, was distinguished by having
all her lights while the rest of the
halls had lights in more or less
crucial spots. However, it did seem
that some rooms were unduly dis-
criminated against in regard to
croscopy. :

that they had bought flashlights
after thé last fire drill.
For most of the halls dinner had
to be moved up to 5:30 so that
people could take advantage of the
little light left to find their food.
Even so a great deal of soup was
found on the table cloth and the
bread fights under cover of dark-
ness, dispersed by pseudo-romantic
candles, were fair to rival Haver-
ford’s dining room fights.
Electricity Returns
With the induction of some Hav-
erford men who braved the terrors
of Hazel, several rowdy parties
were held, lasting until 10:30.
Since the electricity was in even
‘more. dire straits at Haverford,
several young .men braved the
stares and giggles of young Bryn
Mawrters in the showéases, and
dragging. out their electric razors,
casually shaved.
‘ Then Monday evening came and
after a period of great tenseness
when all the existing lights flick-
ered out, they came on indiscrimi-
nately for a time at least, ending
the need to put on lipstick by flash-
light and also a rather jazzy —
end.

Washing Up
Hey! We’re dirty! And we feel that we’re not entirely
to blame for this unfortunate state of affairs.
Every time we collect a week’s laundry and trudge to
Rhoads, we find the one laundromat flooded, and people wad-
ing around in the excess water on the floor. And when we
go to Pem East, we find a pool of soapy water in one machine,
and ten bags of dirty laundry lined ‘ up in front of the other.
We can go back to our hall, dump all of our belongings
in a tub, and spend our few free hours scrubbing and hang-
ing up so many clothes that our room smells like a steam
laundry. But it’s much easier to take the-other course—
wait ’til next week ...
Surely it’s not too much to hope that the college could
buy some more machines, and keep them in running condi-
tion. They are not too expensive in the first place, and they
would soon pay for themselves.
Perhaps the college could arrange to have several mach-
ines in each hall. Or perhaps a room in the basement of one
hall could be set aside expressly for the purpose of harboring
ten or twelve machines in working condition.
We're all for tradition. But keeping up the tradition of
the pioneer women’s method of washing clothes is ‘not so- ap-
pealing as it might be.
Our Own _ Tune
+ We were in the mood to haat Tom Lehrer the other
night—or maybe it was Patrice Munsel. It doesn’t really
matter which. The important thing is that we tried every
station on the radio including WBMC and couldn’t find what
we wanted. This made us jealous of the girl on the third
floor who has a victrola but whose taste is very different
from ours. On second thought we extended our jealousy to
everyone who can take advantage of the Record Library.
It would be great, we mused, if students could rent vic-
trolas for the year the way we now rent reproductions. This
pleasant. dream, we realized, would be-hard to organize and
would be a long time materializing. We'll settle for a simpler
_ arrangement in the near future. We picture several ‘vic-
_ trolas with earphones on the tables behind the desk in the
West Wing or, really luxurious, alongside the comfortable
chairs in the Quita Woodward Room. A quick walk from the

Crowded Schools
Conference Topic
The rising tide of students now
flooding primary and secondary
schools is expected to reach the
college level in 1960. How this tide
can be channeled best. was the
theme of a three day meeting of
the American Council on Education
which was held in Chigago last
Miss Katharine McBride,
president of Bryn Mawr College,
dealt with opportunities for the ex-
tremely able student.
The expected increase in college-
age students is a result of the
higher birthrate during World War
IT. If the proportion of those who
~|go to college remains the same as
the present rate, the increase in
the college population will be ap-
proximately 50%. If the trend to-
ward a higher proportion of high.
school graduates attending college
continues, the increase would be
closer to 80%.
Since very few voices at the con-
ference suggested that the problem
could be avoided by admitting few-
er students to college, the main
theme was how the increase could
best be accommodated.
Universities, “according to most
opinion, may, feel the responsibility
for the increase somewhat more
than the small college,” said Miss
McBride afterwards. A large, and
perhaps even larger share will be
absorbed by the development of
municipal and two year colleges.

ulty might ease the shortage ex-
pected in 1960.

A sign bearing the tidings, ““Wel-

you at the door of 310 Rhoads

present residence of a fascinating
newcomer to Bryn Mawr, Angie
LaVigne.
International by heritage and ex-
perience, Angie is the English born
daughter of a Canadian father and

majority of her time has. been
spent in North America, where she
was educated, she has already
traveled extensively in Europe and}.

“Problems Of E.D.C.
_ Discussed By
Gilbert
Common Room, Monday, Octo-
ber 18.—Dr. Felix Gilbert, of the —
clarified the puzzling diplomatic
situations concerning EDC and The
London Conference in his speech of
Monday night. \
American newspapers, he noted,
have caused some of the confusion
surrounding EDC, by reporting: the
various happenings as if they were
battles, or by not reporting them ~*
at all.
~ The main problem is the rearma-
ment of Germany, and giving Ger-’
‘many full suffrage. The EDC plan
would rearm. Germany without a
national army. There was some
resistance to this’ idea, which
would bring about, a European
army with no national units over
battalion or brigade level. The
problem was finally solved at the
London Conference when the arm-
ies were placed under NATO.
Order of Events
Dr. Gilbert gave a review of the ©
chronological events of the sum-
mer, leading up to the London
Conference, remarking that they
sounded rather like a play in five
acts,
In the beginning Mendes-France
had sent a member of the ministry
to Germany to discuss EDC, and
Adanaeur said that EDC would
have to be accepted by Franke as
a whole. Then a German Minister
was sent to Paris, who negotiated
with the MRP, the party responsi-
ble for the EDC.
Final Agreement
The Brussels Conference’ took
place, where the supranational
idea was watered down. The
French Parliament rejected the
treaty. Edén then took trips to the
countries: who had taken part in
-the conferences, followed by Dulles,
who did not'go to France, Finally
the London Conference took place,
-in-which Germany and the U.S. A.
were playing for the overthrow of
Mendes-France. Finally the agree-
ment was made,
Dr. Gilbert went on to explain -
why this development took so long.
When the plan was first brought =
forward, the pressure of Russia
was concentrated on Europe, the
European powers :were dependent
economically on the U: S. A. and
the power of England was very
low. At present. these three situa-_
tions have changed considerably,
and because of this increased
strength an agreement came
through.
Two Elements
. Every. diplomatic document, ac-
cording to Dr. Gilbert, should con-
tain two elements, termination and
freedom for development in treat-
ies. “The London Conference con-
tains these two elements to a re-
markable degree,” according to Dr.
Gilbert. .
E. D. C., the speaker continued;~
‘was too regulated, and followed
an assumption of a small closed
unit of Europe, which would not
work, as,Europe is not a closed
unit, but always has been based on
the overseas, too.
As for the role of the U. §. A. ‘\ oa
in the whole agreement, two atti-
tudes can be taken, that we let
everything £0, or that we put pres-
sure on EDC and France in order
to come to any solution possible.

Particularly interesting was the
fact that so much of the research
depended on the,individual and his
wilingness to cooperate. Many of
the people helped by recording
many of their songs and by rem-
iniscing about their earlier lives.
One man in particular added to
the success of the trip by becom-
ing very interested in his own lan-
guage and culture and devoting a
great deal of time to its interpre-
tation. Being of a philosophical
turn of mind, he was: able to tell
Miss deLaguna a great deal about
the cosmology of ‘his tribe.
Later in the year, Miss deLa-
guna proceeded to the Copper. Riv-
er region to study some of the
lesser known Athabascan people,
who were rumored to be ancestors
of the Tlingit. Conclusive evidence
of this has not been found, she
noted, although there are similari-
ties between the two cultures.
Culture Threatened
The people in this latter region
are currently facing a great crisis,
since a proposed dam threatens to
cut off the salmon supply, which
is the mainstay of their lives. Miss
deLaguna believes that should this
project go through, the culture of
this group will be destroyed.
Also with Miss deLaguna on this
expedition were her mother, Mrs.
Grace Mead Andrus deLaguna, ‘Pro-
fessor Emeritus of Philosophy; and
on the Copper River expeditions,
Miss Catherine McClellan, who
taught the second semester of An-
thropology 101 here last year.

Enthusiasm, Plus Unconcerned Attitude,
Characterize Freshman from E. Prussia
By Mimi Collins
Enthusiasm and a love of fun,
“plus an unconcerned attitude of
“let tomorrow take care of it-
self”, are the attributes of Sybille
von Bulow, a freshman non-resi-
dent who is a native of East Prus-
sia.
Anyone who knows Sybille is
immediately astounded and im-
pressed by her easy adaptability
to anyone and any place. With a
shake of her head that sets her
short bob askew and a twinkle of
her warm brown eyes, Sybille em-
phatically makes her likes and dis-
likes known.
When asked about her major
reaction to America Sybille first
offered that “everyone is friendly”
and then, im a half apologetic ‘tone
added that the girls are all boy
crazy at such an early age.
Born on a farm in East Prus-
sia, Sybille’s life has been neither
stable nor easy. In 1944 her en-
tire family was forced to flee from
the Russians to Thuringen prov-
ince in middle Germany and again
in 1948 fled to a castle in Wurtem-
berg, West Germany.’
Although her high school educa-
tion was provided by the town,
tuition had to be paid by the indi-
vidual students. Thus Sybille
found it necessary to leave high
school and enter business school in
~ yan attempt to seek a a for
‘which she could prepare in a short
time. hs
After she had finished school an
was working as a secretary, Sy-
that promised to provide one of
the most exciting and perhaps
most fortunate experiences of her
life. As Sybille would laughingly
say, “since I didn’t especially care
to work, I was encouraged to ap-
ply to Bryn Mawr—by no other
than the mother of Miss Holborn,
who taught at Bryn Mawr last
year.”
Sybille, who was by this time an
old hand at interviews, plowed
through a couple of them with
Mrs. Broughton, then took the
Sollege Boards in December 1953.
As a result Sybille was off om an-
other track—this ‘time her goal
being four years of college.
Go-Getter
The most amazing part is to
think what a surprising chain of
events have followed from her or-
iginal job here as a full time baby-
sitter. This is sort of typical of
Sybille’s outlook—when she wants
something she is a go-getter, but
she still accepts the results, for
better or worse, with a calm atti-
tude.
Right now her plans for the fu-
ture are uncertain, her immediate
goal. being to finish her freshman
yéar at Bryn Mawr. |

New Blue Lanterns
Mean Many Things
By Ruth Rasch, ’57
Freshmen rooms are always
pare, and a lantern, especially a
peautiiul dark blue one with a sort
ot purpie shine when the sun
streams through it adds something
to the decor. Or at least that’s
wnat some people think about
when they consider Lantern Night.
When the night comes, starry,
and the Greek hymns echo across
the cloisters it means more than
that. The lantern that night really
assumes the identity of the lamp
of learning, the shape of the lamp
of comradeship, the sign of belong-
ing.
Academic robes worn for the
tirst time, white dresses, the dark,
and the lanterns marching in and
aispersing around the corners of
the cloisters, all that means that
now the class of ’58 is really a part
of the college.
Originally Lantern Night was
preceded by a quiz in which the
entering class had to earn the
right to belong to the college com-
munity. Only after they had suc-
cessfully passed this was the lamp
passed to them by the sophomores.
Woodrow Wilson, formerly an
instructor at the college, partici-
pated in the lantern custom. Given
a luncheon in Denver by a former
Bryn Mawr student he was asked,
“Will you faithfully promise to
stay in the White House if we put
you there and do no gallivanting?”
His “I will” won him a lantern.
The Greek hymns are now an in-
tegral part of the ceremony of
‘Lantern Night, but they were not
added until late in the history of
the ceremony. “Pallas Athena”
was adopted in 1897; “Sophias”
was sung for the first time by the
class of 1924.
Cooke Tite
Campers Conquer
By Epsey Cooke, ’57
Anyone who has been to. camp
as ‘a counselor knows that although
it_is-a-very rewarding experience
it also has its amusing and exas-
perating moments.
Did you ever have a very cute
and innocent-looking little girl in
your cabin come up and tell you
that you are old-fashioned and
didn’t grow up with modern girls?
That one really shook me up. All
I needed was a walking cane and
some gray hair to complete the
picture. Actually, by the end of
the summer some of the latter was
in evidence.
‘Warlike Tendencies
Then there is the type of day
on which your cabin holds a coun-
cil of war and decides to hide both
your tennis rackets just when you
are in a hurry to get to class on
time. Of course, we all did every-
thing but jump up and down and
scream to get-the kids to their
elasses on time, so an instructor
who came ten minutes late lost
face completely. For a few days
there I was the lowest of the low.
In the classes most kids try very
hard to please. There was one lit-
tle girl (make your own more un-
complimentary .substitution), how-
ever, who delighted in doing the
opposite. After a month and a half
I got carried away and told her
that she eould drop dead for all I
cared. She promptly lay down in
the middle of the tennis court and
wouldn’t get up for five minutes.
That really was a show stopper.
The crowning blow came at the
end of camp the night of our big
banquet. This year there was a
circus theme and I played the part
of a monkey. After the show the
little girl sitting next to me at the
table said that she thought I play-
ed my part better than anyone else.
Now I ask you, can anyone scri-
ously take that as a compliment?

Counterpoint, Bryn Mawr’s lit-

announced at the first meeting of
the Counterpoint board Thursday
afternoon in the Common Room.
The editors hope to receive ex-
perimental writing of all kinds for
the fall issue, This includes criti-
cal writing, philosophical essays,
“slice of life” contributions, humor,
all types of prose fiction, and all
types of poetry.
The deadline for contributions to
the fall issue of Counterpoint is
October 31.
Boxes will be placed in each hall
and in Taylor to receive contribu-
tions.
Anyone interested in trying out.
for the Counterpoint editorial
board should submit two original
pieces of writing and, if she wishes,
a criticism of an issue of Counter-
point. (Copies are available at the
bookstore.) These try-outs should
be placed in the same- boxes as
contributions.

directed their production of Matth

rently with Arsenic and Old Lace,
he is doing The Man Who Corrupt-

ers of Philadelphia.
At the first rehearsal, Mr. Hau-
ser’s method seemed relaxed and
calm with stress on gradual build-
ing of character and communica-
tion between the actors. He stagts
with a fairly loose idea of the
play with large between-the-lines
spaces for the actors’ own inven-
tions.
Of his actors he said, “You know,
it was pretty easy to cast the men
in Arsenic, but the old maids were
a different matter. All the Bryn
Mawr girls were perfect in the
parts.”
“This is really: not a slam,” he
added just in time. Rather, Cathy

Dr.Leblanc Tours on FulbrightFellowship
One of the difficulties of the ideal
Bryn Mawr student is keeping up
with the professors’ adventures,
In the fifteen. months that Dr.
Hugues Leblanc (philosophy and
logician) was conducting research
in Brussels, Belgium, on a Ful-
bright Fellowship, he visited Eng-
land, Germany, Italy, France,
Spain, Austria, Holland, and Scot-
land—nine countries. Perhaps he
had trouble keeping up with him-
self!
According to Dr.
wife, a Bryn Mawr graduate, was
a trusty guide in Europe. Not only
was she replete with courses in the
History of ‘Art Department, but
she also had visited the continent
in 1948. With her knowledge of
French and Italian, language was
no problem. (Dr. Leblanc main-
tains that his sole linguistic con-
tribution consisted in reading the
Latin on monuments.)
While Dr. Leblanc was carrying
out his research for his book, An
Introduction to Deductive Logic,
which will be published in Janu-
ary, he nevertheless found time
not only to travel but also to give|
several lectures at the University
of Louvain, and to conduct for one
semester a class’ in English for
“middle-aged women who had noth-
ing else todo”. —
He supplemented this dubious
contribution to the language skills
‘Leblanc, his ?

especially contributed By Ann Harris, ’56
showing two films on Bryn Mawr
and Princeton. Academic adven-
tures took him to two internation-
al congresses, ‘or conventions, one
on philosophy, the other regarding
mathematics.
Dr. Leblanc especially mention-
ed that he met many American
tourists, including several Bryn
Mawr students, but that it was
rather difficult to get to know the
Europeans themselves.
The highlights of his travels (he
could not pinpoint any single at-
traction) imteluded the Vienna Op-
era in Salsburg, the Wagner Fes-
tival in Bayrauth, “any trip to
Paris or Florence”, driving from
Rome to Assisi, and seeing both
Queen. Elizabeth and the Pope. He.
conceded that on the whole, Italy
was his. favorite spot.
Summing up his zrst trip to
Europe with, “Oh, I had a terrific
time”, Dr. Leblanc added that. he
was glad to be- back teaching at
Bryn Mawr after fifteen months
abroad.

‘Football Adds Spice To College Life’
Among Bits Gleaned From Foreigners}
: By Carol Hansen, ’57
After reading through a group
of exchange papers I have come
to the conclusion that Bryn Mawr
needs a football team—for the ben-
efit of the News. As a news-wor-
thy subject football has every-
thing. It is of interest to the ma-
jority of the student body. It is
exciting. There is plenty of oppor
tunity for pictures and an air of
suspense surrounds the subject
Football is nothing if not contro-
versial.
But most important of all it is
a space filler. Calculations prove
that at least four stories an issue
can be built around it—an article
on last week’s game, an article on
the coming game, a feature on the
“star halfback, and an' editorial on
overemphasis of collegiate — ath-
letics.
However, scattered through the
group of papers were worthy
pieces of news and information of
a non-athletic nature (mostly from
women’s colleges) whith I should
like to pass on to the Bryn Mawr
audience. . ae
I think teacher John Cummins
of the Pennsylvania College for
Here
is how he began his first lecture.
“Perhaps a teacher should begin
by telling his students those sec-
ret opinions, those things he never
mentions because they will be
quick to find them out anyway. I
am, thirty-four, married, an Epis-
copalian, and a Democrat”!
Quoted from a headline in The
Duke Chronicle. “Administration
Relaxes; Upper Classmen Allowed
to Date”.
From The Mills College Weekly.
“No time! No time! .No_ time!
Reason? Excuse? Attitude? Time
is the basis: of all. And the word
of all is no time. With fall activ-
ities starting, everybody is in fa-
vor of everything but must decline
because of lack of time”.
A reflection from Hollins Col-
“Ogden Nash—his verse for the

Which is really great in every way.
‘Sure deck your lower limbs in

Yours are the limbs, my sweeting,
You look divine as you advance

ing’?”
And to these words of wisdom in
The Barnard Bulletin we nod in
emphatic agreement. They may
apply even more to Bryn Mawr.
“An important thing to remember
. .. and one which may not appear
on the surface is that Barnard has
no one type. An average student
can be described by compiling sta-| -
tistics, but the final description
will fit no one person. Our abili-

Phyllis Sonnenber g, 58, Loves America,
Ice Cream, But Not America’s Males
By Marcia Case, °57
Sometimes Americans probably
feel that they must have more to
offer the foreigner than friendli-
ness and ice cream. And yet, these
must be convincing arguments, for
they have won over such a world
traveler as Phyllis Sonnenberg, ’58.
Phyllis-was born in Germany, but
in 1939, because of the war and
her father’s hide business in Ar-
gentina, her family moved to Bue-
nos Aires. Since then she has trav-
eled numerous times in Europe,
and visited the United States
twice before coming this fall to
Bryn Mawr.
When she was asked the. inevit-
able question, “What do you think
of America?” Phyllis replied ‘sim-
ply and enthusiastically, “I love it.
There is no snobbishness and ev-
eryone is so friendly.”
Forthright
Phyllis is-a-very attractive per-
son, but she is also quite frank
about others and about herself.
“Before I came here I thought the
girls would be a stuffy bunch of
intellectuals,” she said, “but they
are so friendly. At schools in oth-
er countries if anyone ever says
just “Hello” to you, you feel very
grateful.”
If Phyllis likes American girls,
she is not so certain about the
‘men. “They are so childish,” she
complained. “In South America at
nineteen, they’re men. Here they’re
still boys.”
Of herself, Phyllis says, “I’m
very lazy. My motto is: do every-
thing with a minimum of effort.”
But she wants it understood that
this characteristic is not the result
of coming from a “tropical cli-
mate.” She even dragged out a
map of South America to show
that Argentina is not on the Equa-|
tor, as some Americans seem to
think. :
Phyllis speaks i he went
to an English school in Axgen-
tina), French, German, Spanish,
and is learning Italian this year.
She lists reading, music, and draw-
ing as her favorite pastimes—and
she is quite impressed, or maybe
startled, by the American jitterbug
and Charleston. Another one of
her favorites is ice cream — “I
could live on it.” She is amazed at
the frequency with which Ameri-
cans consume such large quanti-
ties of it, for in Europe it is con-
sidered’ a luxury.
‘Phyllis plans to major in psy-
chology, although she has no defi-
nite plans for the future. But she
is.thinking of living here perma-
nently. In Argentina, she explains,
there are no opportunities for
women. to work. She-considers the
emphasis of .women on social life
to mean an “empty” existence.—_-——
At present, however, Phyllis is
living in Room 47, Rockefeller,
which incidentally, belonged to an-
‘other Argentine, Margot Zimmel-
man, last year.

Jim Kietzman, manager of one
of the American Friends Service

belief that weekend work camp
can act in this way. Jim spoke to
a group in the Common Room on
Tuesday, October 19, at 8:30 p.m.
One of the major functions of
the work camp is to introduce to
the student social problems with

viously acquainted. In this way,
young people may learn to under-
stand were of “life’s crippling ex-
periences” without having to go

Since most of the work.done is
in the Negro section of the city,
problems of racial intolerance as
well as of economics are faced, An
interchange of ideas both with the
other work campers and the people
with whom the work is done is the
primary functiom of the program.
The theory behind the actual
work done is “‘you can help people
to help themselves”. This is not
a paternalistic enterprise; the peo-| jin

‘been granted with the understand-
ing that they are to work with the

because society has failed him in
some way.

To: Meet Miss Ely
By Leah Shanks, ’56
Although I had been at Bryan
Mawr for over three years, the
only thing I knew of Miss Ely was
that a room im French house was
named in her honor, she was .a
great friend of the college, and
she often sent circulars lauding the
name of any Democratic candidate.
My recent acquaintance with her
was purely pot-luck. The phone
rang, no: bell maid was in sight,
and I answered the call without
bothering to pester an underclass-

end’ moaned, “perhaps you know
some Democrats in the hall? This
is Miss Ely speaking”. I’m not
affiliated with any political party
but I devided I could help Demo-
crats address ‘envelopes for one
evening.
Fifteen minutes later three iden-
tical pedigreed dogs welcomed me
at Miss Ely’s doorstep.
Miss Ely greeted me by my last
name and introduced me to two
nurses who were also helping her.
We soon ran out of envelopes and
Miss Ely eradicated wrong ad-
dresses on “sabotaged” envelopes
(one nurse was a Republican) by
applying clorox with tissue paper.
I noticed several personal photo-
graphs above Mis Ely’s desk and
asked her about them, One was of
Woodrow Wilson, the other, George
Bernard Shaw. “Yes,” she remark-
ed, “I traveled in Russia with G. B.
Shaw, I must telk-you about that
trip.”
“And that,” she said, pointing to
a man I did not recognize, “is the
architect who remodeled my house
from an old barn.

Bryn Mawrters Lose Varsity
Games With Beaver; S. Hetzel Hurt
especially contributed’ by
Joan Parker, ’57
On a very rainy and cold. Tues-
day, October 19, Beaver -College’s
two hockey teams: met Bryn
Mawr’s first and second varsities
here. W eaver returned home
a few hours later it was with two
victories under their belts. The
score ot the J.C. game was 6-2 im
tavor of Beaver, while the varsity]!
came closer with a score of 2-1, but
was still unable to beat the skillful
visitors, "
‘lhe varsity game, though close-
ly fought, was not a fair indication
of either team’s ability, as it lasted
only an interrupted half time. The
first tegm had been playing a mere
titteen minutes and Beaver was
ieading, 1-0, when Steffie Hetzel,
our excellent center half who had
been giving Beaver’s All-American
center forward quite a fight, was
struck in thé~head by a hard hit
ball. It was not until forty min-
utes later that the game could be
(The reports that eve-
ning on Steffie’s condition were
that she had had eight to ten
stitches in her forehead, but no
complications were expected.)
Although both teams were badly
shaken by the unfortunate incident,

laughter from the audience.

The choreography was _ note-

which in so many Bryn Mawr class
shows is literally dragged in by
the heels, associated itself with
the rest of the story by using sug-

a few mistakes by the dancers, the
dance itself was good and pleas-

son to Paris to present his petition.
The Sultan was now considered
dangerous by the: French govern-
ment as he had become the rally-
ing point for the Moroccan nation-
al movement.
Though the Saltan had few pow-
ers left, all laws had to be signed
by him. \He refused to sign some
French reform measures after his
own reform bill had been refused.
France proposed equal voting
rights, which would give the French
as much power as the Moroccans,
although the French are outnum-
bered by a ratio of 32 to 1. This
was a Subtle attempt to undermine
all Moroccan authority.
The Sultan also refused to sign
a’ Penal Law bill becasue it was
not accompanied by a Law of Pro-
cedure requiring warrants’ for ar-
rest and indictments. Since then
the present Sultan has signed the
bill; giving local magistrates a
great deal.of power.
Mohammed V was. exiled in 1953
after many political shenanigans
on the part of the French Govern-
or-General. Hill. tribes were told
that the Sultan was going West-
ern, and armed horsemen rode
dow: from the hills. The Sultan’s
life was saved only by a conveni-
ent intervention of French forces.
The present Sultan, a cousin. of
Mohammed V, is old and “not
known for his intellectual wit”: He
has signed all French bills and
tried to win over his people, but
has met only hostility.
At present the Moroccans say
that the first step toward solving
their problem is to bring back their
old Sultan. If the French do this
they will be admitting that they
made a great error in exiling him.
The French government is consid-
ering trying to pacify the Moroc-
cans by ‘making the eldest son of
Mohammed V, who is also very
popular, the sultan.
At any rate, concluded Mr. La-

Required and Fined
“Class meeting today, required and fined,” shouts the
hall announcer. Knitting is gathered and the class troups
to Room F Taylor. How many students would go if the an-
nouncement did not contain the words “required and fined” ?
If it were only the interested few, so what? :
A “captive audience” will not efficiently or even capably
carry out class business. This business consists mainly of
electing officers and preparing songs for college traditions.
Voting to électa class officer requires knowledge of the
qualifications for the office and a desire to see a competent
person elected. Only if we are prepared to think about the
outcome can we do that well. If people do not care, why |«
should they come? Their votes are meaningless.
_ Traditions at school are regarded by the student body as
enjoyable. Why should fining be necessary to force them to
come if that is the case? No one has ever found it necessary
to fine absence from class show fehearsals. Why should they
do so for Lantern Night and May Day?
If not enough people show up when these meetings are
not fined, either the traditions or our attitudes need to be
re-evaluated.
Some say fines give that extra little prod to interested
prod be necessary? Why should gees meetings be a painful
baat ,
- A change in scheduling might make them less others
some. With meetings held from 1:30 to 2:00 half the time
is spent waiting for late comers to arrive, and the other half
letting people leave early. A meeting at 5:00 would get the
business finished more efficiently. This would allow time for
the nomination and election of several officers in one session.
Basically, how we allocate our time in college is up to us.

Community Church
‘What is the Community Church
of New York?/ It does not consid-
ar itself within either the Christ-
an or Jewish faiths, as such:
In its own words, it is, rather
than a church dedicated to any
creed or dogma, or ruled by any
hierarchy, a ‘church composed of
“a group°of people”... united in
a democratic fellowship, and dedi-
cated to the belief. that “veligion
is not primarily a matter of pro-
fessing belief in theological . . .
dogmas, but a matter of under.
standing the great relationships |
of life, and learning¥how to live
happily within them.”
“It strives to be a voluntary
democratic group, on the highest
level of spiritual sharing and
achievement.”
Donald Harrington, B.D., the
speaker this coming Sunday in
Chapel, is the minister of this
church, and will speak from this
view-point. Rev. Harrington ‘has
| been active in the World Federal-
ists and in many civic and welfare
groups, both in Chicago and New
York. He attended Antioch Col-
lege, and graduated from the Uni-
verstiy of Chicago.
He was elected minister of the
Community Church of New York
in 1949, after serving as Junior
Colleague there for several years.

the nature of the ‘Community

Could Students Buy
WashingMachines?
A washing machine in every hall
would be the result of a plan sug-
gested by Miss Compton, of the
Bureau of Recommendations.
At Smith, her alma mater, each
hall bought a machine and.divided
the cost evenly. It came to $10.00
per person. Since the machines
had no coin slots, the girls signed
up for washes and one girl was
elected to collect the money.
The venture worked so well that
graduating seniors received their
$10.00 plus 1% interest. If we
liked, we could get machines with
coin slots or put the cost on pay
day.
Does anybody know where we
can get some washing machines
wholesale ?

Last Saturday morning in Good-
hart auditorium, the first of a se-
ries of stagecraft classes sponsored
by College Theatre was held. Thir-
teen eager, expectant faces, be-
longing to thirteen aspiring stage-
craft specialists, and two blasé
faces belonging to two College
Theatre members, were turned
alertly toward Liz Gordon; produc-
tion manager of College Theatre.
Liz started by telling a little
about the various jobs involved in
backstage work, such as lights, cos-
tumes and make-up, which are not
directly involved with the making
of the set. She then conducted. the
class on a tour of the stage itself,
together. with the backstage facili-
ties, .i.e., the. light eage, the flat
loft, the prop room, the light board,
and the Green Room, of iat |

Current Italian
Situation
Caenon Room, Monday, October
125 ... Miss Lily Ross. Taylor, pro-
React. of Latin at Bryn Mawr and
for the past two years head of the
classical school at the American
Academy in Rome, discussed the
‘current political and economic sit-
uation in Italy, Miss Taylor has
had ample. opportunity to see and
mingle with Italians in her work
fat the Academy.
She found that when she travel-
|-ed through the country by bus, she
‘had far greater and more intimate
contacts with the people than she
does now since she has a car. Miss
Taylor considers the newspapers,
although partly controlled, and the
radio, other very helpful sources of
information about Italy. Also, she
finds that excavating ruins with
native labor is one of the best
ways of getting into a sieheintes di
% Wages Rises
Although she can see no partic-
ular reason for it, Miss Taylor
finds the general conditions in
Italy improving. However; the
standard of living is still poor and
will continue to be considerably
lower than that to which we are
accustomed.
Unemployment has sail but
there is much part time employ-
ment. Wages have gone up in pro-
portion to living standards, but
this holds true only for the labor-
ing classes. The’ white-collar
workers are on starvation wages.
Sfill there are from 5,000. to
10,000 more cars registered in
Rome every year. The average
workman, however, contents him-
self with a motorcycle. While tel-
evision has been in Italy only a
year, the one set Miss Taylor look-
ed at was in her cook’s home.
Though general conditions in
Italy has improved, the political
situation has not. The government
is a shell, rife with bribery and
the scandal of the Montesi case.
Yugoslavian Trade
The Trieste settlement with
Yugoslavia took the spotlight
away from corruption in govern-
ment and seems to have saved _ it
for a little while lomger. The main
topic of discussion in the treaty
was not the division of territory,
but the probability of a great deal
of future trade with Yugoslavia.
The huge Communist opposition
party in Italy suffered a setback
over the Trieste treaty. They an-
nounced that Italy had been sold
out on Zone B of the Trieste terri-
tory, expecting Russia’s sanction
of this policy; Russia claimed she
thought the settlement an excel-
Aent. thing.
The taxes are exorbitant, with
a great many indirect ones. They
‘|definitely discriminate against the ©
lower classes. Though bribery and
corruption are everyday occur-
rences, Miss Taylor says that she
was never cheated in any of her
business transactions.
Miss Taylor found the Italians
well-informed generally - but not
mainly interested in politics. Their
newspapers, however, carry an
amazing amount of American news
and observations on American life.
Although their knowledge of us
is highly distorted, occasionally
there are some very a ute obser-
vations on Americanism.

We Apologize For
Mistake In Copy
The News offers its. apologies to
Sybille von Bulow, freshman non-
resident who was interviewed in
last. week’s issue. Due to a mis-
‘take with the copy, the middle
‘page of the story’ was deleted,
thus giving a false impression in
the last half of the article.
We especially want to clarify
that sentence, “since I didn’t es-
-pecially care to work, I was en-|
couraged to apply to Bryn Mawr.”
What Sybille did Say was that
was that since she did not care
for secretarial work, she decided
to take a position offered her in
America. .
_ For those who tried to make
some headway in the last three
paragraphs of.the article, here are
the facts.
Sybille originally came to Amer-
ica in March, 1952, to take care of
some children in Kensington, Mary-
land. After a year of this work,
Sybille was anxious to do some-
thing, different, so she visited a
friend in Hartford, Connecticut.
After a series of interviews, she
received a job as a secretary at
Yale and lived in the New Haven
Y.W.C.A. It was while working
here that she met Miss Holborn’s
mother, who -encouraged her ‘to
apply to Bryn Mawr.

Strauss said that the atom is the

Orals Brought Woe
To the Editors:
Do you realize the results of the
first orals? In French only four
people passed who have not had
preparations beyond entrance re-
quirements. Of the 37 who passed,
21 had had a major language, six
had studied abroad~and the other
six had had as much as minor
French. That makes 54 per cent
failures, or 10 per cent more than
have ever occurred’ since records
have been kept, i.e., since 1904. In
German we came through a ‘little
better, though 49 per cent failed
and only 40 per cent had not -had
some preparation beyond entrance.
The same number, 40 per cent, had
had a major language and the oth-
er 20 per cent had studied abroad.
