Cooper Describes Offshoots,
Individual Types of Cubism

Mr. Douglas Cooper addressed
himself to the topic “‘High Cubism:
Can It Move?” in his latest lecture
on cubism, given May 4. He fol-
lowed the development of individ-
ual artists and movements that
took their inspiration from cubism
but used the cubist idiom to fur-
ther aims different from those of
the early“tubists.

The general aim of the work
during the years 1910-1914 was
the breaking down of artistic éon-
ventions. This kinetic cubism,
as Mr. Cooper calls it, saw cubism
as a bulldozer with which to sweep
away traditions of form and beau-
ty. Much concerned with the scien-
tific advances of the era and with
speed and motion, the kinetic cub-
ists wanted to go beyond static art
which conveyed only a sense of
static motion,

Mr. Cooper talked on the cub-
ism of Marcel Duchamp as both
ironic and serious, as revolution-
ary. and intellectually clever. One
of the Paris Groupe de Puteaux, Du-
champ first worked with faceting
to show reality of form, but, as
he painted his figures as transpar-
ent, did not really follow the cub-
ist tradition. He then attempted
to represent motion in his pictures,
first by using a stroboscopic effect
and next by presenting his figures
as a series of mechanized abstrac-
tions. . :

Groupe de Puteaux

(Mr. Cooper then dealt with oth-
er members of the Groupe de Put-
eaux and stated that the group
thought cubism either too solid,
in which case they added color and
light to it, or ‘too ‘uncertain, in
which case they attempted to ap-
ply geometric calculations to it.

Next discussed was Delaunay,
who’revolted against cubism and
went on to explore color as a
means of expressing movement in
space. Delaunay employed what
he. called simultaneous contrast—
that is, the separation of different



Group To Perform
‘Dido And Aeneas’

The Bryn (Mawr College Theater
and Haverford Drama Club will
present Dido and Aeneas on May
12 and 18, at 8:30 in Roberts Hall.
This will be the first operatic per-
formance attempted since 1958.

The familiar story as presented
by. Purcell has most of the basic
features of Vergil’s version, with
a few new sprinkles put in for
operatic effectiveness, In both
cases Dido (here played by Eliza-
beth Suderberg), after long inner
struggle at last succumbs to the
charms of the lovelorn Aeneas
(Jim- Katowitz), hurried along
love’s pathway by her faithful sis-
‘ter whom Purcell names Belinda
(Ann Witman) only to lose him
by a celestial command that the
hero depart from ‘Carthage. im-
mediately.

(Delivering the divine message is
an evil spirit (Judy Schacter) mas-
querading as Mercury. This same
command is the product of the evil

ver)and her two colleagues (Wan-
da Bershen and Sylvia Barrus).
The concluding scene opens with
general merriment on the part of
the sailors who seem rather. pleas-
ed than otherwise at the idea of
the ruination of their leader’s ro-

colors—in order to convey a sense
of motion. Delaunay eventually
abstracted his “onphiec cubism,”
and his later works were chiefly
composed of stylized shapes of
varying’ colors and sizes, which
were intended to denote varying
speeds of rotation. Among those
he influenced."‘were Kandinsky,
(Marc, Klee and Chagall.

Futurists

The final group discussed of the
three off-shoots of the cubist move-
ment was the group known as the
futurists.. Mr, Cooper explained
how these iconoclastic artists
found in cubism a way of dissect-
ing form and thus representing jt
in motion. Cubism served as the
antithesis of impressionism for
them, but they found it limited,
because it had no sense of flux and
vibration. Balla’s “Dog on a Leash,”
in which the artist used cinematic
effects to show the movement of
the animal’s limbs, illustrated some
of the futurists’ aims. Their idea
was to break down an -object to
show it as its complete self and to
express the movement of that ob-
ject as a part of its reality.

(Mr. (Cooper concluded by saying
that, despite the experiments in
movments of these ‘ post-cubist
groups, he found that the paint-
ings of the cubists and of the tra-
ditional and naturalistic painters
before them expressed movement
not only as well as but better than

Review Acclaims
Maids & Porters’
Harmony, Vitality

by Sally Schapiro

On Saturday evening, May 6,
the Maids and Porters presented a
concert of solo and choral numbers.
The chorus was organized and di-
rected by Shirley Daniel, ’68; ac-
companists were Miss Daniel and
Judy Lewis, ’64; and publicity was
handled by Lynda -Gaynor, ’63, and
Carol Swift, ’63.

Remarkably full-bodied in tone,
the chorus of twenty was nearly
always excellently balanced. The
harmony was well-handled, nota-
bly in Don Large’s unnusual ar-
rangement of “When the Saints
Go /Marching In”. Dawson’s “Soon
Ah Will Be Done” was outstanding
both for its gusto and liveliness
and for the tension set up by dy-
namic variation; “King Jesus Is
a-List’ning” was particularly well-
controlled, The “My Fair Lady”
medley, although some _ sections
were taken a little slowly, made
a strong ending for the. program.

Soloists were Patsy Renwick,
Edythe Simmons, Dorothy Backus,
Doris (Gaymon, and Margaret Tro-
wer, sopranos; Betty Mills, ato;
Abdul Aleem, tenor; and Al Jack-
son, bass. The songs, ranging
from “One God” to “One Kiss,’
were as varied as the ranges and
textures of the singers’ voices; all
were performed most capably and
spiritedly. The chorus, the solo-
ists, and Director Daniel are all to
be congratulated. ;



Separate Spheres Of Development |

Mark Romantic

by Bethany Mendenhall, ’62

On Monday evening, May 8, Miss
Grazia Avitabile, chainman of Wel-
lesley’s Italian Department, lec-
tured on Italian Romanticism, The

speaker was introduced by Miss]

Lograsso of the Bryn Mawr Ital-
iah Department, who noted that
Miss Avitabile’s, training included
graduate work here.

Giacomo Leopardi

Having introduced her lecture
with some general comments on
the nature of nineteenth century
Italian Romanticism, Mis Avita-
bile went on to deal specifically
with the work of Giacomo Leo-
pardi and Alessandro Manzoni—
neither of whom, incidentally, con-
sidered himself a Romantic. Léo-
pardi’s work, though bitter and
pessimistic, manifests also a heroic
quality which stems both from the
wondrous contamplation of the in-
finite and from the nostalgic
awareness of the contrast between
mans’ aspiration to greatness and
his actual limitations. Despite the

In most scenes the principals are
assisted by a rather large and very

well-trained chorus, which is no-

between scenes, it changes from
staid courtiers to underworld, un-
desirables to carousers, and so on.

seeming magnitude of such con-
ceptions, Leopardi used the lan-
guage and rhythms of everyday
speech and dealt with ordinary oc-
currences.

Allessandro Manzoni

The description of ordinary oc-
currences in everyday language
is also the significant quality of
Manzoni’s I Promissi Sposi (The
Betrothed). Here the historical
novel becomes ‘the vehicle for Man-
zoni’s more philosophic and Christ-
ian awareness of man’s weakness-
es and cruelties and for his simul-
taneous faith in the ultimate re-
demption of those who have sought
God’s grace. Thus the historical
yet Christian approach produces a
work which is localized yet univer-
sal,

New Criticism

Miss Avitabile went on to note
that a new literary form necessi-
tated a new form of criticism (that
later developed by Francesco de
Sanctis), a form which was based
on the premise that a man must

think well—that is, possess a solid
historical and intellectual basis for
judgment—to write well. Further-
more, desire for literary reform
produced a desire for cultural and
subsequently social, economic and
political reform, so that the Ro-
mantic movement in Italy was
widely influential.

vided the Romantic movement into
four spheres of development: the
patriotic sphere,- which served to
create a national consciousness,
the pathetic sphere, the sensation-
al sphere, which later developed
into Realismo, the next significant
literary movement in Italy.

Berthoft Explores
China’s Literature

The early Chinese novel was the
subject of a lecture given May 8
iby Mr. Berthoff in the series of dis-
cussions based on a recent tri-
college faculty seminar concerned
with Chinese Civilization,

.-Mr. Berthoff first outlined the
general structure of the Chinese
novel in comparison with that of
the Western novel, which is, he
stated, the product of a modern
bourgeois society concerned with
materialism and individualism. Al-
though the oriental novel is of in-
dividual stories and characters, the
characters do not develop as they
do in Western novels. They rep-
resent, instead, various qualities
such as virtue or military ability,
which give them a static quality.

The (Chinese novel is, further-
more, of* much greater length than
the modern novel, usually contain-
ing hundreds of chapters. They
are so long that none has ever
been translated completely... .Only
segments of précis have been
brought to the West. The quan-
tity of characters is great, too.

The panelists agreed in empha-
sizing the need for an‘ idealistic
attitude and a willingness to learn

work; Mr, Cary urged a reciproc-
ity eventually to be extended to
domestic Peace Corps units. Many
of the participants spoke of the
importance of careful selection and
training; Mr. Toynbee went fur-
ther and said that, since the youth
of the Peace Corps are to be rep-
resentative of the Western way
of life, we must back them up by
learning to live hard and less friv-
olously. Mr, Dennis revealed that

Hanna stresed her conviction that,

from that of the world community,

its appeal to the most concerned
and qualified potential applicants.





Miles Theorizes Bacterial Infection
Derives from One Microbe’s Clone

by Alice Longobardi, 63

”

“Inflammation and Infection
was the subject of a lecture given
Friday by Dr, Ashley \Miles, Direct-
or of the Lister Institute of Pre-
ventive Medicine in London. A
Fellow of the Royal Society, Dr.
Miles described and _ projected
graphs illustrating the work he
and his colleagues have been doing
in relating inflammation to infec-
tion and in isolating the crucial
steps in the development of an in-
fection.

Cause of Death

“Dr. Miles explained that death
occurs when the total number of
microbes in a body reaches a cer-
tain point.. The original number
of infecting bacteria is not the
cause of death. Further, mortality
curves support Dr. Miles’ theory
that there is no synergy between
microbes. Each microbe has the
same probability of being a path-
ogen, that is, of finding a suitable
locus in the body for multiplica-
tion. Evidence indicates that acute

clone: Therefore one microbe and
an early decisive event allowing
that microbe to lodge at a given
locus are responsible for the final
infection... _ : <' ‘

Experimental Support for the
importance of this ‘initial event
was described by Dr. Miles. Cer-

tain acute infections were found
to be susceptible to modification
only in the first few hours of their
existence. Adrenaline increased
the size of a staphlococcus les-
ion only if injected before the le-
sion ‘was about two hours old.
Similarly shock had no effect upon
an infection if induced after this
critical period.

The evidence indicates the de-
cisability of an initial event in the
creation of a full-scale infection.
The inflammatory response is gen-
erally delayed. Therefore, the
body’s major defenses against in-
fection are probably not related
to the inflammatory defense phase.
The major defensés must act
against the initial lodging of the
microbe whose clone will later
cause the infection. In order to be
effective, these major defenses
which constantly protect the body
from its microbe-filled environ-
ment must act before the inflam-
matory response.

Dr. Miles concluded by warning
his audience against Candidean

that the body’s many defenses are
purposely attempting to achieve
the most effective defense against
infection in the best of all possible
worlds.

“The Two Cultures”

At the Parents’ Day panel on the experimental method,
brief attention was paid the problem of the humanities-
science barrier and the intolerance it creates. Understand-
ably enough, no general concern was evidenced, for at Bryn
Mawr, which is rather rigidly departmentalized, the problem
seems serious only to those students who are uncertain about
their majors and hear the views of friends on both sides of
the fence. It may be asked, however, whether the sympto-
matic complaints registered by these few students should not
be given. enough attention to determine their bases.

It is not helpful to answer charge with counter-charge
or even to call “equally reprehensible” the humanists who
think of science as technical, unimaginative drudgery and
the scientists who consider the tools of humanism uselessly
inexact. Neither, in fact, deserves censure as much as the
hypocrite who nurses a fundamental but self-concealed atti-
tude of contempt toward his counterparts in other fields who
“have the right sort of minds for that kind of thing.”

To divorce the issue from an ultimate basis involving a
scale of values, probably no attitude is more effective than
that championed by Marston Morse of the Princeton Insti-
tute for Advanced Study. As quoted in the New York Times
Book Review of May 7, Professor Morse discovers a basic
similarity in the creative processes of mathematics and of
literature. “Out of an infinity of designs,” he says, “a math-
ematician chooses one pattern for beauty’s sake, and pulls it
down to earth, no one knows how. Afterward the logic of
words and forms sets the pattern right.” Similarly, he points
out, Robert Frost says of poetry: “I tell how there may be a
better wildness of logic, than of inconsequence. But the logic
is backward, in retrospect after the act.”

It is difficult to alter automatic habits of judgment, and
in this case the difficulty is increased by the fact that a true
appreciation of the similarities underlying superficially dif-
ferent disciplines requires several lifetimes, a unique mind,
or perhaps both. But we can make an attempt to curb those
automatic responses which are made suspect by their easy
availability and to replace them with receptivity toward oth-
ers and with thought.

As Miss McBride pointed out in her Parents’ Day speech,
breadth can be achieved through depth, for study which
plunges deep enough comes upon the substrata common to
all human activity. Bryn Mawr, with its intensive major
program, is thus in an excellent position to further commun-
ication among the specific fields. If the tone is set by a truly
liberal attitude on the part of administration and faculty,
an attitude which would be evidenced in course planning as
well as in inter-departmental cooperation, we may hope to
see its permeation throughout the student body.

Welcome to Work

The announcement of a quiz, a paper or a fresh assign-
ment by a professor is often the cue for a rush of groans and
objections from the students in class these days. It is be-
coming a habit among students to complain about new as-
signments for no other reason than that they entail more
‘work. This reaction is too reminiscent of grammar school
days to have a place at a college.

Each of the students at Bryn Mawr is here of her own
free will for the purpose of obtaining a liberal education.
The assignments. meted out by our professors are prepared
with an eye to helping us further this aim. The automatic
outcry which a new assignment calls forth serves no. other
use than to insult both the professors and the standards of
the students.

Admittedly ther are cases where a paper or a quiz giv-
en on short notice may present problems to a particular stu-
dent or group of students. There is nothing unreasonable
about a polite objection to the date or form of an assignment
where there is real grounds for that objection. What we
deplore, however, is the feeling that any new work is an
imposition and that we are here to try to get by with as little
effort as we’can put out.

Junior Discusses
Situation in Africa

At Naval Parleys
by Pixie Schieffelin, ’62

As the lone Bryn Mawr delegate
to the Naval Academy Foreign Af-
fairs Conference (April 26-29) I
stumbled off the Baltimore and
Annapolis Railroad (which is a
bus) into the arms of a waiting
midshipman, Being late, I arrived
inopportunely when they were
relieving the watch [each deck,
(e. g. floor) changes the guard
every 24 hours]. On the way to
the dining room for “female dele-
gates” I was practically trampled
by rows of rigid, navy-clad mid-
shipmen marching to dinner.

The conference, entitled “Prob-
lems of the United States Foreign
Policy in Africa and the Near
East” was opened by G. Mennen
(“Soapy”) Williams foaming over
about his recent ‘trip to Africa.
We were assigned to round tables
to discuss specific regions and in-
corporate our conclusions into a
resolutions to send to the govern-
ment.

Our round table was concerned
with U. S. policy toward South
and East Africa.

After a theoretical discussion
of apartheid in South Africa, we
were confronted by a clever and
affable counselor from the em-
bassy of the Union, who adamant-
ly held beliefs exactly opposite to
ours, In explanation of the fact
that the racial policy was written
into the constitution in 1948, the
counselor remarked, “Our govern-
ment likes to have everything in
black and white.” Our resolution
recommended that the U. S. in-

crease its vocal opposition to
apartheid. and its contacts with
existing opposition parties. We

felt that an economic boycott
would probably be more detrimen-
tal to the blacks and would unite
the whites in opposition. Our hope
lies in the dissatisfied British
voices within the Union.

The next day we considered
East Africa (Kenya, Uganda,
Tanganyika) and the Federation
of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Tan-
ganyika, a British trusteeship ter-
ritory which becomes independent
in December, 1961 is politically the
most stable and economically the
most. backward of the’three. Julius
Nyerere, head of the Tanganyika
African National Union is the
chief exponent of a Federation of
East Africa. Kenya, slated for in-
dependence in 1962-68, has two ma-
jor political parties—one compos-

ter understanding of the kind of
life and learning—dyamic or oth-
erwise—Bryn Mawr is dedicated to.

‘No one who took part in the
proceedings on the day itself, or in
the somewhat hectic preliminaries,
can fail to be ‘impressed by the
amount of organizational skill, im-
agination and plain hard work that
went into it. For this the student
body should be congratulated. Not
only are the chairmen and mem-
bers of the various committees,
the hostesses, and ushers, deserv-
ing of high praise, but many oth-
ers who labored behind the scenes
with no visible reward for their
efforts. The Faculty ‘Committee
is particularly conscious of the fact
that the latter, if they were with-
out parents on campus, were barred
from most ofthe day’s festivities.
This unhappy discrimination, as
well as others connected with the
luncheon arrangements, was un-
avoidable in view of the wumber
of parents who,came. It ig all the
more necessary therefore to extend
a special thanks to everyone who

Self-Gov Seeks Place
For Lounge Facilities

Therevision of the’*Self-Goy°con-
stitution is presenting an oppor-
tunity to reconsider and settle
many problems on cof of, Jone
deplorable situation isthe absence
of a place near to or on campus
where we can take dates for a cup
of coffee, some more substantial
goodies, a tete-a-tete, music, and
so forth. Our concern for this
problem is clear from our, interest
in the prospect of having men in
the halls later on weekends.

Certainly, having the halls kept
open later would be a step forward.
On the other hand, will we be able
to make satisfactory arrangements
about food, music, and dancing in
the halls? With a car-less date;
there aren’t many places within
striking distance where such things
are available. If only the College
Inn stayed open longer. Unfor-
tunately, there isn’t much hope of
that, even though the Inn is. run
by» the college, because we would
disturb the people living there.
Suppose the Soda Fountain had
more serving hours, food; and at-
mosphere, It would seem, how-
ever, that life at Bryn Mawr is
too complicated to facilitate the
establishment and maintenance by
students of an ideal social and
snack joint. Anyway, music might
disturb rehearsals and other Good-
hart functions, and dancing room
is limited, to put it euphemistical-
ly. Someone brought up the pos-
sibility of using Applebee Barn,
which seems a good suggestion un-
til you realize that there is no
heat, plumbing, electricity, or ar-
rangement for preparing and. serv-
ing food. Then, besides the where
problem, there is the who prob-
lem: who would run the place and
who would cook and wait on ta-
bles?

Obviously, there are many un-
answered questions involved in the
solution of this problem. - Maybe
our only recourse is to turn to the
halls, but maybe something more
can be done. In any case, now is
the time to think over problems,
bring up solutions, and found new
institutions.

A Step Beyond Innocence is not
far enough for the heroine of Nora
Johnson’s latest novel because she
never really takes the step; instead
she stands with one foot in the air
for 274 pages. The author, a
graduate of Smith, is presumably
writing about a subject she knows
well. The meat of her article, “Sex
and the College Girl,” published in
The Atlantic Monthly over a year
ago, has been put into this novel.
Sally Fraits, the heroine, must face
“bewildering problems”: at’ ‘Smith
where she “simply has nowhere to
go to find out what is right and
what is wrong.” The word “prob-
lems” is synonymous with the word
men, and by the time -Sally has
worked her way through a neurotic
actor and a ‘Preppy’, her emotions
have the texture of old horsehide.
She is, to put it mildly, bewildered
by the decision about which one
to marry. And she spends her
time at Smith “searching through
the darkness for self-realization.”
This only means that she is dig-

to find her purple silk dress,
Ins and Outs

Sally Fraits is, however, a de-
lightful girl with the rare gift of
making and keeping friends, She
is not at all a’snob and associates



equally with the “Ins” (these are

the ‘shoes’) and with the “Outs”
(these are real Mukluks). Sally
in her gregariousness may be eom-
pared to a pointed toe sneaker, if
this classification can be stretched
so far.

Preoccupation

On the whole this book is fast
and amusing reading. However,
although the problems of the hero-
ine are very familiar to the mod-
ern college girl, the complete pre-
occupation with these problems is
quite shocking. In fact, they will
probably put any tuition-paying
fathers who read this book in a
mild’ uproar.

Point Hidden

It is a shame that Miss Johnson
has concentrated on the frivol-
ous, albeit necessary, part of a col-

Suderbera Gives Outstanding Recital

Of Impressive Contemporary Music

by John Davison
Haverford Music Department

It is gt often that one has a
chance to hear a concert of twenti-
eth-century music presented with
such skill, taste, and enthusiasm
as were outstanding characteristics
of the program given by Professor
‘Robert Suderburg on Tuesday eve-
ning, May 2, in the ‘Music Room in
(Goodhart Hall. Announced as “Con-
temporary iMusic at Bryn Mawr’,
the concert turned out to be no ex-
perimental unveiling of brand-new
materials, but, rather, an imposing
array of works by established mas-
ters of the older twentieth-century
generation: the pieces that were
presented all date, in fact, from
the first third of the century.

Tension

It is a sad fact that éven the
best works written since about 1910
still have hard going with many
audiences, and the audiences with
‘them, This seems to be due to a

whole complex of causes, perhaps
the most noteworthy being the ten-
sion between the increasingly indi-
vidual, prophetic, and disturbing
‘visions of the composers and, the
perennial desire on the part of au-
dieces to be lulled, soothed, and
charmed, If there was. tension
Tuesday night, however, it was
the creative tension of active lis-
tening and musical communication,
not the blind resistance to the un-
‘familiar so often felt when music
of recent vintage is played. The
audience was not large, but it was
appreciative; I dare say that if
more of the timid had ventured to
brave the onslaught of new sounds,
many might have been won over
and enlightened by the music play-
ed, which was, on the whole, neith-
er trivial nor, on the other hand,
dogmatically difficult.
Transformation
The Seven Early Songs of Berg
stand, in a fascinating manner, on
the itthreshold of the spirit and
techniques of more recent music,
including Berg’s own later pro-
duction. Written in that strange
first decade of our century, in
which, behind a lush facade, lurk
threats of distintegration and vio-
lence, the songs catch a musical
style midway in a process of trans-
formation, (Strong echoes of Hugo
Wolf’s sensitive late - Romantic
style are present; exquisite deli-
eacy of mood and texture alter-
nates with climactic passion; al-
ready, also, the turbulence of the
future is foreshadowed in passages
in which tonality is suspended by
such means as Tristanesque chro-
maticism or the use of the whole-
tone scale. Mr. and Mrs. Suder-
burg brought deep understanding
and consummate musicianship to
bear on their’ fine performance of
the songs. It is only a pity that
we could not have had translations
of the texts before us (for those
like myself whose German is inad-
equate), or at least the names of
the poets (who make up an inter-
esting group, which includes Ril-
ke), since their work is, after all,
being presented as well as_ the

composer’s.
Joy and’ Vigor .
The Duo Concertante of Stra-

vinsky, a suite for violin and ‘piano,
was a delight. Miss Kish and Mr.

Suderburg played it with just that |:

sense of purely physical joy and
dance-like vigor which I have al-
ways felt is appropriate to Stra-
vinsky’s music. In the so-called
“neo-classic” pieces of Stravin-
sky’s middle period, of which this
is an example, there hides under
the vaguely Baroque, highly soph-
isticated surface much more of the

Te ae seni nerve i 2a ee nes = PCW aa aed
Simple, intense forthrightness of

Russian folk music than I think is
generally realized, and this quality
was satisfyingly evident in Tues-
day’s performance. The horren-
dous technical difficulties of cer-
tain passages, especially in the
, Gigue,. were hurled with Ss

The ‘performance of the Webern
Symphony for nine instruments
represented, again, a conquering
of enormous difficulties, and Mr.
Suderburg and the group of Hav-
erford and Bryn (Mawr students
and graduates ‘who played the
piece are to be congratulated on
their notable accomplishment. In
this Symphony, as in much of Web-
ern’s music, a white-hot, almost
unbearable intensity seems to have
become condensed ‘into a set of
taut, glacial gestures. This is dif-
ficult music, and I must confess
that to me, in its unmitigated ex-
tremes of fragmentation and ten-
sion, it seems to lack some basic
sensé of ‘balance which would
make the. effort of surmounting
the difficulty rewarding; but every
now and then there is a moment
of delicate beauty perceptible to
anybody with open ears, and I must
say that the Symphony apparently
did “ succeed in communicating
something to many members of
the audience, to judge from their
response.

Precision

The last two numbers, Four
Choruses by Stravinsky and Bar-
tok’s Five Village Scenes, showed
certain traits in common: both
have texts and melodies derived
at least in part from. folklore, and
both use thé chorus in a vigorous
manner that combines a certain
detachment and humor with a
childlike strength and directness
of feeling in a manner not at all
inconsistent with the basic spirit
of folk-song, The Bryn Mawr
chorus sang with precision and
éclat, and with an obvious joy of
performance that added to the
spirit of the occasion. In the Bar-
tok pieces Mrs. Suderburg sang
the solo passages with sureness
and beauty of tone, and Mr. Suder-
burg managed somehow both to
conduct and to play the tricky pi-
ano accompaniments.

In closing, [ think.it would be in
place to say a deeply felt thank
you to Robert and Elizabeth Su-
derburg for the unique and fine
contribution they have made to
the musical life of Bryn Mawr and
Haverford colleges this year, of
which last Tuesday’s impressive
concert was a part. (May similar
success follow them wherever they

Versatile Faculty,

Music, ancient or modern, when
played by such versatile and spir-
ited performers as those who gave
an Arts Forum sponsored concert
Monday evening in the Ely Room,
is utterly delightful and shold be
heard much more often. This fac-
ulty concert is becoming an annual
tradition, but an audience would
enjoy it monthly—or even weekly.
The players included: Anne Kish;
violin; Julia. Clayton, recorder,
‘cello; Caroline Cunningham, vio-
lin; Dorothy Koenig, soprano; Ali-
son Fowle, viola de gamba; Fred-
eric Cuningham, harpsichord, viola,
recorder; and Allan Clayton, viola
da gamba and recorder.

Two versions of the Fantasia,
the string quartet of the Renais-
sance period, opened the program.
The first by Wilbye had a rich
blending of tone in the instruments
of the lower register. The second
by Purcell had, among other de-
lights, a bright melody like a
burst of cheer, A Trio Sonata by

‘Corelli followed “with” alternating |~

slow ard fast movements.

‘Mrs. Koenig next sang three
songs, One, John, Quoth Joan,
was especially humorous and gay.

Survey Indicates
Students for Hell

Week Innovation

The controversy over Hell Week
has provided Undergrad with a
great deal of work and worry. An
effort was made this year to smooth
out the undesirable personal as-
pects of the tradition, and careful
instruction were issued to all con-
cerned: hall presidents, wardens,
and sophomores. Hell week, nev-
ertheless, again aroused reaction,
a strong desire for change or even
abolition.. Undergrad held an open
meeting to discuss the issue, and
later, at separate meetings, in the
halls, every student was urged to
submit a ballot expressing her per-
sonal wiews .concerning abolish-
ment or modification. The poll in-
dicated that the majority were for
modifying, and in some way short-
ening Hell ‘Week.

Current Events’ Panelists Express

View Of Caution For Peace Corps

by Geri Orleans, 63
The Peace Corps was discussed
by a panel consisting of Dean
Mabel Lang, Mrs. Elinor Wolf,
economist and lecturer, and Wa-
mere Mwangi, student from Kenya,
in the Current Events program,

Monday evening, May 8. The mod- |

erators were H. Paul Hare, Asso-
ciate Professor of Sociology at
Haverford and Chairman of the
Haverford (Committee for the
Peace Corps.

‘Miss Lang opened the discussion,
mentioning that in her personal
experience in underdeveloped areas
of Turkey and Greece she had no-
ticed a hostile attitude to what
appeared to be the populations
and governments involved as a
kind of American invasion and as
a usurpation of their jobs.
Another criticism was that the
programs of the Peace Corps are
as yet too vague for students here
to envisage participating in them.

A suggestion developed in the
general disussion and heartily ap-
proved of by Wamere was that
the international aspect of the or-
ganization be emphasized to the
point of absorption into the Unit-
ed Nations. Miss Lang suggested
specifically that an exchange be
worked out through which foreign
students here be allowed to work
in the United States on a similar
basis during their sumer vacations.

Mrs. Wolf stated that she be-
lieved the concept on which the
Peace Conps rests to be a good one
although many problems will have
to be solved. The first time young
Americans went to help abroad was
under the Marshall Plan; ever
since iMrs. [Wolf has been able to
observe the useful work that has
been accomplished by young peo-
ple, who are able to remove barri-
ers by friendliness and adaptabil-
ity even when they are ignorant



of the native language. Necessary



BMC Peripatetic Geologists Back
To Tell All of Faults, Fossils, Fun

by Brooks Robards

Armed with blue jeans, box
lunches, collecting bags, and picks,
69 budding Bryn Mawr geologists
left in the first light of dawn for
parts unknown in northern Penn-
sylvania,

In ‘buses especially equipped
with glass tops and intercom sys-
tems (except for the one with the
spastic loudspeaker, and no sight-
seer’s vista vision windows), Drs.
Dryden and Watson began dis-
courses on the geologic wonders
which lay ahead. Unfortunately,
there was strong competition for
the gurgling and sometimes crack-
ling loud-speakers in a radio tun-
ed in on the astronaut’s flight.

Coed-ifying

. First- stop was outside Easton,
illustrious home of Lafayette Col-
lege, where the BMC geologists
looked ‘with awe at the first for-
mation: a fault. Seven boys from
the University of Delaware, at
first thought to be Geology grad
students, turned out to be fresh-
men and quite amenable to friend-
ship.

After an afternoon of inspecting
anticlines, gneiss formations and
one slate quarry, the group arriv-
ed tired and grimy, but inspired by
the breath-taking Delaware water
gap, at the Penn-Stroud, swanki-
est hotel in Stroudsburg, Pa. - Re-
freshed by hot baths and showers,
the girls set out in groups to sur-
vey the town—but while Strouds-
burg is reputed to have “every-
thing,” one can see all in ten min-

utes.

TV and Celery

As the afternoon passed, the
weather became ominous, and the
buses barely made it up the long
hill into Hazleton. There were
squeals of delight from those who
discovered TV sets in their hotel
rooms, and Mr. Dryden was chas-
ed down the hall by an over-zeal-
ous student with a celery. stalk.
The downpour outside the- hotel
whetted the urge for exploration
of some, but many found’ atmos-
phere in the little hamburger joint
beside the hotel—complete with
juke box.

The morning brought better
weather and the peripatetic group

wandered off through Broad Moun-

tain and the Nesquehoning valley.
The high points of that day were
a somewhat muddy visit to a coal
stripping mine, and the “Pennsyl-
vania Dutch” dinner of the Maho-

ning Volunteer Fire (Company’s|'

Lady’s Auxiliary (ham sandwich-
es).

Return

By five o’clock, the weary rock
hunters and three nerve-frazzled
professors pulled up to Pem Arch.

tact. An obvious application of
the latter would be to close PX
stores; to maintain them, says Mrs.
Wolf, means: “We are terribly sor-
ry, but we cannot live as’ you do.”

Another great question will be
the reaction of both the young peo-
ple and their parents to the hard
conditions the Peace Conps will
meet in certain underdeveloped
areas. The cultural and social iso-
lation will be hard to bear; the
physical suffering and bad health
conditions might even lead to the
death of some young people. The
volunteers will have to deal with
a different world, ignorant people,
other races, a different kind of
sensitivity.

‘Wamere expresed her country’s
point of view, which is utterly un-
favorable to this kind of organiza-
tion. To begin with, the people
are uninformed and suspicious;
the dreaded image of the idealis-
tic missionaries has not yet van-
ished, and Kenya is still a colony;
is it already to be subjected to
neo-colonialism? Africans do not
wish Americans to feel grand while
risking their lives to teach poor
Africans. They do not want to be
flooded with teachers, for Africans
need an African education. Prob-
ably the greatest objection of all

Harvard President
Notes Assistance
Of Junior’s Verse

by Rosabeth Moss

What's pat in the Latin

More clearly in English.

These four lines of verse have
brought Jane: Hess, ’62, national
recognition as a poet. She has
been quoted in The New York
Times, the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin, and the U. of P. Daily
Pennsylvanian, after her original
appearance in the spring issue of
the Bryn Mawr Alumnae Bulletin.
In addition, the president of Hat-
vard University, Dr, Nathan M.
Pusey, invoked the aid of this
Bryn Mawr junior’s verse to calm
a crowd of students massed in
front of his house.

According to the Times for April
29, Harvard underclassmen were
protesting the substitution of Eng-
lish for Latin on the Harvard di-
ploma when “Dr. Pusey appeared
in the doorway and good naturedly
told the crowd, ‘What’s pat in the
Latin and chic in-the Greek I al-
ways distinguished more clearly
in. the English.’” ‘

After the Times’ .report’ appear-

ed various Bryn Mawr affiliates
let Dr. Pusey know that he had
quoted one of our campus poets.
On the following Tuesday, May 2,
Jane received a note of thanks
from ‘Dr. (Pusey.
On last Thursday, Jane’s chai
adorned the front page of the
Philadelphia Bulletin, which quoted
her poem.

Jane, tongue-in-cheek, told the

Bulletin that she was quite flat-

tered Dr.. Pusey had quoted her
lines. “A lot of modern poets
have trouble: reaching their audi-
ence, I never thought the poem
would have such wide circulation,”
she said.

Pool Critic Rates
Swimming Talent
In Water Ballets

by Carol Duddy °62

On Saturday, April 29, the Bryn
Mawrines presented ‘Flashback,”
the synchronized swimming show.
Unlike many such shows which rely
on colored lights punctuated by
blackouts to sustain mood, the
theme and action in this show
were carried out solely through
costumes, music and most, impor-
tantly, the swimming itself. The
fact that the absence of dramatic
lighting seemed unimportant. is
a tribute to the talent and hard

rehearsal ‘work of the swimmers.
' The various numbers portrayed
a progression through time from
“The Turn of the Century” to
“The Future.” Although all of the
numbers were enjoyable, two of
the eight were outstanding, wtih
unusual choreography and more
experienced swimmers.

“E Pluribus Unum” was a quar-
tet of the World War II era, chore-
agraphed by Julia Lathrop. Em-
bodying rapid and seemingly ex-
hausting movement, with none of
the moments - to - reorient - our -
selves evidenced in a-.few other
numbers, the quartet kept through-
out a precision and speed worthy
of the best-trained military.

Again in the finale, “Of All the
Nations,” ‘the effectiveness of
strong, perfectly-timed movement
was demonstrated, combining a
sextet, a duet, and a solo into a
coherent routine, choreographed
by Dayle Benson. The two solo
numbers in the program, one by
Julia Lathrop and one by Dayle
Benson, succeeded quite well in a
medium best suited to group pre-
formance. Both were well design-
ed and excellently executed.

Miss Janet Yeager gave invalu-
able aid to the Bryn Mawrines
who presented in “Flashback” an
outstanding feature of Tri-College
weekend.

To Martin Buber the conflict be-
tween mistrust and trust of man
conceals the conflict between mis-
trust and trust of God. Mr. Mau-
rice Friedman, Professor of Phi-
losophy at Sarah Lawrence Col-
lege, explained in an Interfaith



istential Trust” that this not
faith, creed, or dogma. It/is the
core of Buber’s thought, the basis
of his famous I-Thou r ation.
Existential trust isto Buber the
“holy insecurity?” or uncondition-
al trust, This is manifest in three
conflicts. The first isthat between
the Cabala and Chasidism, a\Jew-

ern Europe. The former requires
that faith be based on knowledge.
The
latter, on the other hand, desires
trust first. This is the Hebrew
“emuna.”
The second conflict is between

ing man. The latter demands se-
curity, but the,former stands un-
protected in t e underived trust of
God. Nothing can lead him astray
for “God is the innermost presence
of an ever-new experience.”
_ Third of the manifestations of
the “holy insecurity” is the central
Biblical approach. Fear of God is
the essence of the “holy insecurity.”
Being with-God is a greater real-
ity than death. Buber wants to see
the ‘Biblical phrase “I am that I
am” translated more corrcetly “I
shall be there as I shall be.”

yr, Friedman almost called his
book Martin Buber, A Life of Dit-
logue, Martin Buber, the Narrow
Ridge. Buber’s whole: philosophy
can be seen as an adherence to the
difficult position between dichot-
mies. The narrow ridge is the
unity of contraries. For example,
“God is both the wholly other and
the wholly same.”

Dawn to Dark May-Day Ceremonies
Feature Dance, Prizes, Music, Plays

by Elinor Beidler

May Day dawned cloudy and
cold, but before the dawn came the
sophomores: “Vive le, vive le, vive
le. mai;” and the seniors’ presents,
such handy little things (moldy
bed beasts, mousetraps, wine bot-
tles ...). Eighteen loyal fresh-
men, gathered to prepare the May-
poles, found their pole already ar-
ranged, with its ribbons let«down
and carefully braided, and a’shal-
low hole dug at its base.

Breakfast was an hour early,
with strawberries. An enthusiastic
audience wished the Maypole danc-
ing could have lasted longer; but
one, two, three, hop can be tiring.
Speeches by Miss McBride and
Queen Lucy welcomed the holiday
officially. :

Pem East Romance

(Pembroke East’s play proved an
enjoyable mixture of garbled
Shakespeare, topped off with the
unforgettable Behan ditty. Miss
McBride announced prize winners
in Goodhart, and sure-footed Cary
Webb Hank, preceded by a hoop,
led her class down Senior Row.
On or near Taylor steps, the four
classes raised their voices with en-
thusiasm.

rary. ‘Goodhart Meadow and the
Recorders provided an effective
background for College Theater’s
excellent presentation of Old Wives
Tale. The audience alternately
laughed and shivered as medieval
romance, terror, and sorcery flit-
ted across the grassy stage.

Wires Credit

The plot seemed hard to follow,
but probably -only to those who had
never read the play, Joan Chapin,

(Cisco Duran-~Reynals, and Kate
Evans enlivened the first scene
with humorous dialogue. Garru-
lous old Madge, narrator of the
fairy tale, was played convincing-
ly by Alison Baker. The Dracula-
like conjuror, Bea Kipp, establish-
ed an atmosphere of horror. Ar-
leen Beberman’s portrayal of the
Old Man was expressive and poig-
nant.

The light, witty repartee of the
two brothers, Lois Potter and
Gretchen. /Mack, provided comic
relief. Betts Jones, as Eumenides,
exhibited excellent stage presence,
and helped coordinate the action.
Delia, played by Debby Goldberg,
was a chanming lady, except when
under the sorcorer’s power.

Probably the. liveliest and witti-
est scenes were those in which
Rob Colby, enacting Jack’s Ghost,
danced across the stage, bandying
words with Eumenides and the
Hostess, Pat Ranard. The medie-
val atmosphere was never lost;
the clever dialogues and the rapid,
almost too rapid, pace of action
held the audience’s interest all
through the play.

the initiative in disarmament and

perous economy not dependent on
armaments; and begin generous,
large-scale non-military aid pro-
grams to the underdeveloped coun-
tries.

ommunism out of Africa, Inde-
pendence is what they want, not
cold war, and they shall choose

Mrs. Wolf remarked that prob-
ably this extreme attitude toward
an American organization is due
to the ftet that it would be sup-
ported pby the British Government
which controls Kenya.

Chinese Novel |
Continued from Page 1, Col. 4

Chinese novel and Western ballads,

in Hood, the medieval chansons: of
King Arthur, crusader romances,
and Italian epics. The panoramic
action of the Oriental novel center-

ed about a simple plot, and the
use of “serial” tales remind one of
Chaucer.

Chinese novels, concerned with
the activity of all China, not. just
wtih individual lives, illustrate an
interest in heroism, cosmology,
man, society and manners. They
are, in many instances, Mr. Ber-
thoff asserted, sophisticated, comic,
and witty. . They are metaphoric
as well as magical in content, re-
lating hjstorical as well as fiction-
a] stories. : .

Mr, Berthoff discussed The Ro-
mance of Three Kingdoms, written
in the fifth century, a time of po-
litical disunity; The Dream of the
Red Chamber and Hsi Men and
His ‘Six Wives, both domestic stor-
ies concerned with the rigidity’ of
great Chinese families and houses.
He also described the Water-Lair
Bandits, a political novel which has
been translated in part by Pearl
Buck, One of the most interesting
novels discussed was Monkey, or
Pilgrimage to the West, an. ‘‘alle--
gory of the human mind,” con-
cerned with a journey from China
to India in search of Buddhist
scriptures. It illustrates the Ori-
ental interest in folklore, morality,
religion, comedy and satire.



Africa Conference
Continued from Page 2, Col. 3

autocracy, The British govern-
ment had to form the first natio-
alist: party: there. One resolution
supported regional federation and
recommended economic assistance
to Tanganyika to help it become
a strong member of the East Af-
rican community and a model for
similar developments in Kenya
and Uganda.

The final area we discussed was
the Federation of Rhodesia and
Nyasaland, In bare outline Nya-
galand provides the black labor
and Southern Rhodesia the white
technicians for the copper mines
of Northern Rhodesia.

Sir Roy Welensky, white su-
premacist, proclaims that the
blacks have benefited under, the
Federation, but African National-
ist leader, Dr. Hastings Banda, has
indicated that if he wins the June
elections, as is probable, he will
withdraw Nyasaland from the Fed-
eration. We felt that should this
happen, the U. S. should aid the
new .government.

Geology Journey

delion chains hung around necks
as mementos of the sometimes ex-
hausting, sometimes exhilarating
trip.

music. ome captivating, toe-tap-
ping edieval Dances followed,
féaturi@g fine recorder work by
Messrs. Cunningham and Clayton
and delightful. percussive effects.

Mr.*Cuningham’s solo work on
the harpsichord was excellent. He
charmed first with Couperin’s The
Eel as a tribute to the location of
the concert. His playing of the
complex and swift-moving Con-
certo in D Minor by Marcello was
one of the evening’s high points.

A second one was Miss Kish’s
Figurative Dances, variously de-
scribed by its composer as elec-
tronic music and a pudding. Mod-
ern and Webernesque, it yet had
lyric moments and was successful.
The concluding Sonata a cinque
by Albinoni brought all the mu-
sicians together with a strong op-
ening strain, and a magnificent
second movement. Miss Kish’s
strong violin tone was notable, as
was ‘Mrs. Fowle’s smooth yet spir-
ited performance.
