Professor Nicholas Timasheff Explains

“Don Luigi Sturzo’s Theory of Society’

Don Luigi Sturzo was best
known as a politician, then as a
poet, and lastly as a sociologist.
The lecture on his theory of soci-
ety given yesterday in the Common
Room by Nicholas S. Timasheff,
Professor Emeritus of Sociology
at Fordham University was an
attempt to define Sturo’s impor-
tane in this last field. Mr, Tima-
sheff will soon publish a book on
§Sturzo’s sociological viewpoints.

The founder of the Italian Pop-

ular Party and great foe of Fas-

cism died’ in August, 1959, at the
age of 88. He had previously
spent several years in America,
but is relatively unknown and the
few translations of his works mis-
construe the basic ideas. It is, in
fact, difficult even in the original
Italian to get to the underlying
thought in Sturzo’s work because
of his poetical-tendencies:

Mr. Timasheff gave two exam-
of misunderstandings of
Sturzo defines
sociology as “the study of society
in the concrete.” Socciologists in-
terpret this to mean “concrete
society”, but Mr. Timasheff be-
lieves Sturzo meant society as a
whole. Many sociologists say
that Sturzo’s denial of abstraction
was a denial of the abstract when,
in effect, all he denied was the
results of abstractions becoming
realities.

Sturzo did not believe it is pos-
sible to formulatte a social phi-
losophy, but asserted that there
can be a science of society. Mr.
Timasheff said that he was main-
ly concerned with an analysis of
society in relation to the individ-
ual and in a definition of society.

Self-Gov Notice

On October 31 at 7:15 in
Taylor there will be a Self-Gov-
ernment exam for all freshmen,
(non-residents included) Junior
Year returnees, last year’s non-
resident students now living on
campus, and transfer students.

ples









It was not until] 1950 that Sturzo
finally enunciated his definition of
society: “Society is a plurality of
individuals, striving towards com-
mon ends, and subject to the same
temporal dimensions.”

Mr. Timasheff used the classi-
fications of his friend and fellow
sociologist, Sorokin, to place Stur-
zo’s theory in the general stream
of sociological thought. The three
1) per-
sonalism, in which the only reality
is the individual;
in which the only reality is society;
and 3) syntheism, in which the
two are aspects of the same thing.
Although Sturzo sometimes seems
to belong to one or the other ex-
treme, he is a synthesist or har-
monist. “Society does not exist
without the individual, and the
individual is unthinkable outside
of society.”

Mr. Timashefédconcluded with—a
statement of his feeling that al-
though Don Luigi Sturzo deserves
great recognition as a sociologist,
it is unlikely that a Sturzo school
of sociology will ever emerge.

Touches on Terms

As a prelude to Paul Tillich’s
lecture this Friday evening, Mr.
Robert Horn, ‘a member of the
faculty at the Union Theological
Seminary, presented a brief intro-
duction to what he termed Mr.
Tillich’s “boundary-line theology,”
Monday at 5 in the Common Room.
According to Mr. Tillich, a philo-
sopher “who seems to many for-
midable on the surface only be-
cause what he has to say is un-

familiar,” two reasons for the dif-
ficulty theologians have in com-
municating successfully are the
meahinglessness of the Christian
vocabulary (How do you define in
unambiguous terms such words
as “sin,” “salvation,” “righteous-
ness”?) and the fact that the
‘majority of ‘religious’ people to-
day have no idea what they’re talk-
ing about, despite the fact that, as
Tillich himself reports, about 90%
of the American people are mem-
bers of some house of worship.”
But the fact that there is no “ex-
istential” awareness of sin, and
other familiar religious concepts
is not conclusive. The symbols,
words, which must through reason,
“not describe, but point to the
ground of God,” are broken down,
and fail to carry any significant
meaning for us today.

This “crisis in communication,”
Mr. Horn explained, has led Til-
lich to a “boundary-line theology.”
His “method of correlation,” that
of weighing two opposing theories
on a theological issue and coming
up with a sort of middle-of-the-

“The Provincial Theatre of Eng-



Ferrater-Mora Recalls Berlin Congress
Where World Intellectuals Convened

The Congress for Cultural Free-
dom was founded in West Berlin
in 1950 for the purpose of discuss-
ing and protecting the freedom
of culture, particularly in the
Western world. Mr. Ferrater-Mora,
Professor of Philosophy at Bryn
Mawr, who attended the second
conference of the Congress last
June, discussed the organization
Thursday _— in the —
Room.

Because of the basic aim of the.
Congress, it is by nature anti-

-Communist. One of the major in-

centives to its establishment ten
years ago was the widespread to-
talitarianism mot only in the Stalin-
ruled Communist world, but in Ar-
gentina, Spain and other countries.

States supported and much of the
money originally came from Amer-
ica. =~ these reasons, it is not

upported by some pean in-
aatanie. However, at this re-
cent conference, several new Afri-
can and Asian soutien were —

resented,



This second conference was also
held in West Berlin. Mr. Ferra-
ter-Mora believes that there are
two reasons for this: first that the
‘organization was formed there,
and second that it was an answer
to the increasing threat from the
East to West Berlin.

The conference was attended by
approximately 200 people, includ-
ing Kenneth Galbraith, Robert
Oppenheimer, and Arthur Schles-
inger, Jr. from the United States.
There were four main sections dis-
cussing respectively: political free-
dom, the history of ideas, socio-
economic freedom, and freedom of
the arts,

freedom was the most interesting

Provincial theatre of that era
had two great advantages, It dis-
seminated drama more _ widely
throughout the country than ever
before, and it served to train act-
ors.

Circuit Setting

(During the Restoration, 1660-
1700, dramatic companies traveled
in the provinces. With letters
patent from the king or licenses,
they usually succeeded in obtain-
ing permission to play in the towns
through which they toured. At the
end of-the century their numbers
increased, and they settled down
to-establish circuits in a more
limited area. The companies were
usually called by the name of the
chief town in their circuit. The

next step was to build playHéuses.

Thé earliest one was in Bath, in
1705. oe
Legal Limitations

Puritan opposition to the players
was rampant, and often succeed-
ed in chasing them out. They were
accused of the “introduction of
lewdness and debauchery,” and of
encouraging immorality and lazi-
ness among the Workers in the
audience.

In 1737 a Licensing Act was
passed stating that the provincial

evening is also open to the public.

Exciting Weekend

Judy Samuelson, social chair-
man, was full of enthusiasm in de-
scribing the forthcoming Junior
Weekend.

Stage-Drag Openhouse

Festivities start with an open
house in Goodhart after Paul Til-
lich’s lecture. Judy explained that
Goodhart would be able to accom-
modate more people than a hall,
and that the Common Room and
Roost make a very good enter-
taining set-up, which it would be
a shame not to use, Anyone want-
ing to see the Nixon-Kennedy de-
bate at 10:00 can watch it on the
television set in the Roost. “We’re
inviting unattached males,” Judy
emphasized. Tickets are 75¢ per
girl, regardless of whether she is
escorted or not.

Samedi Soir

Saturday night opens with Jun-
ior Show, followed by a dance,
“Vanity Fair,” from 10:00 to 2:00.
Anyone who wants to help decor-
ate for the dance on Saturday is
welcome. One of the things which
figures in Junior Show is a mas-
querade. This motif is to be car-
ried over to the dance, but not in
costume, Dress is the usual “semi-
formal” to “formal”. —

The music will be by Marty Kra-
mer, and both the Haverford Octet
and the Bryn Mawr Octangle will
sing, probably about 11:45. Some
of the songs from the show will
be repeated at the dance. Tickets
are $3.00 per couple.

The Challenge...

Earlier this semester one of the halls on campus looked
into its budget and saw, to its collective horror, that if ends
were to be met there were two possibilities: dues could be
raised or a budget item could be eliminated. Perusal of ex-
penditures showed that the item which could be most easily
eliminated was the dorm’s foster child. Hall-meeting dis-
cussion and open ballot supported this judgment. Compli-
mentary flowers, hall teas, and a live-music mixer were con-
sidered essential; the foster child was dropped.

No conclusion about individual values or group respon-
sibility will be drawn here, no moral judgment will be made.
What will be pointed out, because it must be pointed out, is
the shocking short-sightedness that allowed that pajamed
majority to vote as it did.

The hall-meeting was a micro-cosmic America and its
values were the values of an America which is in present
danger of plummeting to its own destruction. The decision
to eliminate their small share in overseas aid in favor of a
dance-band for an evening is part of a disastrous national
pattern. It is both indicative and productive of a frighten-
ing national tendency to act according to the dictates of a
narrow and unenlightened self-intérest.

Only a kind of horrifying mass-myopia could have caus-
ed that majority. to vote as it did; only unknowingly could
it so deliberately have conformed to this pattern of destruc-
tion. The individuals who comprised that majority had,
apparently, failed to recognize the challenge of this era, to
perceive the roles which they have been called upon to play,
to observe and keep pace with reality.

They had failed to see that the much decried plunge of
American prestige abroad is a reaction to decisions such as
theirs as much as to Sputniks, and that growth in their own
values and judgment must come before the economic growth
so heatedly invoked for our strength can be meaningful.
Finally and most awful in its implications, they had failed
to.see that not even a dormitory in an ivy-walled college is
an island ‘and that the bell is even now beginning to tou,

... And How to Meet It

How to communicate the awareness .necessary to pre-
vent a repetition of this kind of error is the Major problem
of our time. It is a problem whose solution is in our hands.

Last week we talked about a movement called Moral Re-
armament, a movement whose end is to provide individuals
with a set of values whose very acceptance would preclude
decisions based on the dangerous principle of narrow self-
interest.

_ Another movement concerned more directly with college
students has also risen 6n various campuses in an attempt
to fill this theatening gap._Its-purpose is to create awareness
of America’s difficulties, trusting individuals to find their
own values to cope with them. The originators of this move-
ment at Yale dubbed it the Challenge and sponsored several

“Challenge, however, needn’t take the form of a colloquium
(it’s organizers, in fact, emphasize that the colloquium with
big-name speakers is its least desirable form), and it needn’t
be organized. Challenge is at work on a campus when small

groups who are aware talk about what they think and keep |

a constant flow of ideas in circulation.
A Challenge movement thrives on itself and grows
_ through its own momentum. It is called Challenge only so
long as it is necessary to distinguish its presence from the
_normal run of things. When it has succeeded, it is abolished.
When it has afcomplished its mission it has reached every
student on the campus and can no longer be identified. The

Economic Policies

(The following articles, written by the chairman of the Bryn Mawr chapter of Students for
Kennedy and a member of College Youth for Nixon-Lodge, are the second in a series on the is-

sues of the campaign.

by Jane Tanner
for College Youth for Nixon-Lodge

The critical years ahead will demand the imag-
ination and energy of the next administration in
proposing economic programs which will encourage
economic growth in the United States. Both candi-
dates for the presidency of the United States want
growth and have programs which they believe will
achieve growth. Both candidates urge that the
United States must move forward, not only because
an increase in output and income per capita will
mean a higher standard of living for men and wom-

‘len in the United States, but also because an increase

in the rate of economic growth will mean a strong

America to face the challenge of the Soviet Union.
‘Economic Progress

Richard M. Nixon has strong policies for in-

creased economic growth im the United States, but

they are programs which will utilize the creative ©

productivity of private rather than government
enterprise. Rather than recommending government
spending as the panacea for all economic ills in the
country, the Vice-Presiderit would rely on the priv-
ate sector ofthe economy.to—achieve his goals. Mr.
is for government spending where it is
necessary and where it will provide the best way
to progress, but he is unwilling to rely on the activ-
ity of the central government where the private
sector of the economy can do an effective job. What
are Mr. Nixon’s policies which reflect this philo-
sophy ?
Sound Frameworks

Mr. Nixon would, first of all, authorize a care-
ful study to be made of the system of taxation and
recommend reforms of the obsolete features of that
system. The tax.structure would be designed to
stimulate creative enterprise. Secondly, under the
Vice-President, the government would act against
the abuses of management and labor which could
block economic production and efficiency. Thirdly,
Mr. Nixon supports a sound fiscal policy which
would stimulate growth and yet control the danger
of inflation. In connection with this policy, Mr.
Nixon would advocate the tightening of credit dur-
ing good times and the easing of credit during slow
periods of economic activity. These policies provide
a strong framework within which the private enter-
prise system can operate at maximum levels thereby
creating job opportunities, increasing production
and income. Only within this sound framework can
confidence in the system be maintained and increased
investment stimulated.

Government Intervention

However, there are some fields in which govern-
ment activity is necessary, Mr. Nixon asserts. In
the fields of public education, public transportation,
unban development, and scientific and technological
research, local, state and federal governments may
play an important part. :

The problem of an increased rate of economic
growth in our highly developed economy is an im-
portant one, as both candidates recognize. By fully
utilizing the productivity of the free enterprise sys-
tem, an increased rate of economic growth will be
achieved.



by Susan Freiman,
Chairman Students for Kennedy

As Senator Kennedy said in his acceptance
speech, “The world is changing. The old era is end-
ing. -The old ways will not do.” America today
presents challenging new problems, chief among
which is that of economic security. We cannot have
a strong country unless each sector of our economy
is strong.

‘Where an unemployment rate reaches 6%,
that area is officially designated one of “substantial
labor surpluses.” Today, the rate for the nation
is nearly 6%..'We need immediate action to prevent
the occurrence of any serious economic dislocation.
Kennedy’s program includes: 1) special] assistance
to hard-hit areas; 2) development of our great pub-’
lic resources which make it possible for private
enterprise to grow and prosper; 3) educational as-
sistance which will produce the skill and creativity
which a growing America needs; 4) encouragement
of loan programs to business; 5) fiseal and mone-
tary policies designed to stimulate private invest-
ment and eliminate artificial restrictions on the
supply of money.

Aid to..Depressed Areas

The bill twice vetoed by the Republicans- would
start overcoming economic dislocation in depressed
areas, such as the West Virginia coal fields, It pro-
vided for low-interest loans to private enterprise to
create new industry and new jobs in depressed com-
munities, assistance to the communities to provide
public facilities necessary to encourage the new
industry, and retaining of worker for the new
jobs. It is obvious that aid to depressed areas must
come from the federal government; the states need-
ing such aid need it because they are too poor to
help themselves.._The richer states, from whom
would come the money for government~assistance,
would be benefited by the resultant stronger mar-
kets.

Minimum Wages

‘Swift economic growth is essential if we are to
absorb the growing population and the workers dis-
placed by automation. To achieve this swifter
growth, the Democratic platform pledges an end
to present high-interest, tight-money policy. The
Republican restrictive monetary and fiscal policies
actually contribute to the price increases they were
designed to stabilize( and thus also, incidentally,
contribute to inflation), because of the increased
interest paid by producers and consumers; further-
more, it has foisted added burdens on taxpayers of
state and local governments which must borrow for
schools and other public services.

The Democratic platform further pledges to
raise the minimum wage to $1.25 an hour, and to
extend the coverage to several million workers not
now protected. There are two good reasons for
this: 1)it is only fair that our high standards of
living be available to those who labor to produce
it; 2) a high rate of productivity is valueless unless
there is a healthy market for the goods produced.

There are two main charges the Republicans
level at this program, that it is inflationary and im-

East House Production Wins F reshman Hall Play Award



Radnor Demonstrates Shavian Comedy





With Passion, Poison, and Petrefaction

by Lois Potter

Passion, Poison, and Petrefac-
tion, or the Fatal Seltzer Bottle
(henceforth to be known, for obvi-
ous reasons, as “The Radnor Play”)
is an extraordinary work, and the
‘Radnor freshmen deserve especial
credit for proving, to numerous
skeptical members of the audi-
ence, that George Bernard Shaw
could write a play without a single
idea in it. Shaw always regarded
himself as a serious dramatist who
used humor only as a means to
an end; P, P, & P suggests that
perhaps he mistook his vocation.

Still, it must be confessed that
it was langely because of the de-
lightful Radnor production that the
little farce was so successful. Di-
rector Janet Friedman (with Sue
Goldenberg, the adviser) kept the
play moving briskly, even during
the comparatively dull interlude
“with the doctor, policeman, and

tha Link, and “Caren Goretsky)

Adolphus. Such vital bits of busi-
_ness as the crashing ceiling, the
attempts to move the statue-hero,
and Phyllis’s sweeping the vic-
tims offstage were most convinc-
ingly handled.

The three main characters in
the love tragedy were portrayed
with a true Byronic fire, especially
the dashing villain, Lord Fitztolle-

Magic of Hecht’s
The Wonder Hat

Beguiles Reviewer
by Nell Angelo

The Wonder Hat, a marvelously
funny didactic play by Hecht and
Goodman, was produced last Fri-
day evening by the Batten House
and Graduate Center Freshmen.
The play was very well received,
and Susan Fleming and Penelope
Schwind must be commended for





the excellent jobs which they did |

as director and stage manager.
The. senior advisor was Doris
Porro, a junior at Batten House.
The play was a difficult one to
act, requiring a great deal of good,
stylistic acting, but the five mem-
bers of the cast were all able to
carry their roles more than suc-
cessfully. Gabrielle Schupf, par-
ticularly, was excellent as Punch-
enello, an old peddler who special-
ized in magic charms, To Colom-
bine, (played by Julia Cardozo),
who was in love with Harlequin
(Libby Redfield) he sold a magic
slipper guaranteed to make all
men fall in love with her, while to
Harlequin, trying desperately to
avoid Colombine, he sells the won-
der hat which makes its wearer in-
visible.
The magic of his charms prov-
ed so potent, however, that he fell
under their spell’ himself, and was
in neither case paid for his wares.
Recovering, he tries, until] the end
of the play, to make Colombine
and Harlequin return the slipper
and the hat to him. ‘Margo, a pal-
ace maid and confidant of Colom-
bine’s, and Pierrot; a friend of
Harlequin’s (both very well-played
by Janice Wright and Linda Walsh)
further enliven the situation to a
climax reached when Colombine,and
_ Harlequin each demand that the

mache (Terry Preston), As Lady
Fitztollemache, Terri Rogers was
the essence of feminine sensibility
and refinement; and Archer St.
Clair as the “first clothes-martyr”,
Adolphus, was a very engaging
combination of insouciance and
indigestion. Phyllis the maid was
nicely: played by Mary Perl with
great feeling for the beauties of
Cockney dialect.

One must also not neglect to
mention stage manager Heather
Ide, costume manager Sue Ander-
son and Judy Schachter, whose
rendition of “Won’t you come
home, Bill Bailey” greatly enhanc-
ed the performance. All in all, a
hilarious fifteen minutes, but I
would still like to know why Shaw
wrote that play.



by .Lois Potter

Any group which attempts a
serious hall play has already a
strong claim to first place because
of its own audacity; when the at-
tempt succeeds, as in this year’s
brilliantly directed scenes from
Under Milkwood, by Dylan Thom-
as, victory is (practically certain.

Making use of an enormous cast
from East House, College Inn, and
the Infirmary, director Nicole
Schupf (whose advisers were Sue
Lazar and--Ellen Zetzel) so per-
fectly fitted each actress to her
part that it was impossible to dis-
tinguish, as one usually can, be-
tween the talented minority and
the obliging but uninspired major-



ity. Each role was small, and



Humor Into Frost's

by Marion Coen

Reason—even at its best—is
hardly the most sure-fire ingredi-
ent for success in a freshman show.
Nonetheless, Pem West’s freshmen,
undaunted by its apparent drama-
tic pitfalls, attacked with gusto
the verbal joustings of. Robert
Frost’s A Masque of Reason. The
result, though long on talk and
short on action, as in all such rea-
sonable productions, was admir-
able.

Scenery, costumes and staging
were an important factor in its
favor; special mention must be
given here to the unnamed creat-
or of the center-stage palm tree,
as well as to the director, Edith
Bush, for co-ordination of effects.

The actors, though wrestling
'with long and rather impersonal
passages, succeeded in creating



Maids of Merion
Open Hall Plays
With Shaw’ Farce

by Kristine Gilmartin

To open Friday evening’s pro-
gram of Freshman Hall Plays,
“the. maids of iMerion” presented
The Dark Lady of the Sonnets by
G. B. Shaw.

In this well-chosen play, Shakes-
peare, while waiting for a rendez-
vous with his mistress, “the dark
lady”, has some amusing and lit-
erarily profitable conversation
with the Beefeater watchman and
with his night-walking sovereign,

of his own genius and eventual
immortality (‘Dark Lady, horrified:
I have struck the queen! Shakes-
peare, from the floor: You have
struck William Shakespeare!), con-
fesses his memory is quite weak,
and so he carries pen and paper
with him to jot down the excellent
phrases he hears, (“Frailty, thy
name is woman,” says the Beef-
eater. “All the perfumes of: Ara-
bia,” murmurs Elizabeth.)

‘The satire was well bruoght out
by the actors. Shakespeare and
the dark lady (Elizabeth Gibbs
and Ellen Rothenberg) seemed to
enjoy their parts especially. The
Beefeater, played by Susan De-
Hoff, was marvelously stolid and
skeptical toward the upstart play-
wright. Elizabeth (Barbara Hur-



other give up his spell, and neith-
er wishes to be the first to do so.
Margo finally interrupts and tells
them to leave it to the audience to
decide what should happen, and
thus we are left.

The whole play was very well
_ done, and, despite a few missed
Tine, was very successful.

@



eral of her fellow actors from loss
of memory, was perfectly regal.
The director Pattie Canode’s pre-
diction that the audience would
learn the sourte of Shakespeare’s
genius was fulfilled in this amus-
ing’ and skillfully put together

witz), though suffering with sev-|



distinctly human characters. This
was; perhaps, unfortunate in the
case of God (played by Paula Pace)
whose winsomeness and decidedly
human struttings clashed furious-
ly with any preconceived notions
of the deity. Once this interpreta-
tion was accepted, however, the
performance was totally engaging.

Gail Herman as Job was excel-
lent. Her pacing and questioning
were understandably real and her
facial expressions injected a de-
lightful note of humor. His wife,
played by Lois May, though play-
ing the stock bright-but-shrewish
feminist, handled the role’s rather
hackneyed reactions well; the only
complaint might be that she ad-
dressed too many of her well-de-
livered admonishments directly up-
stage.

Satan, Wendy Westbrook, attir-
ed Somewhat like a mustached
chorus girl (if this can be con-
ceived) pranced about with aplomb
making the devil a highly likeable
sort. (How this reflects on the
quality of her characterization is,
of course, debatable.)

On the whole, then, Pem West’s
freshmen, though handling a more
readable than playable drama, suc-
ceeded in turning some theological
controversy into a colorful and
amusing performance,

each was outstanding.

On the visual side, Katy Butt
was in charge of costumes and
Zan Peschka of lighting. The
black costumes focussed attention
away from the characters to their
voices, with occasional use of
bright color, as in the Singer’s red
scarf. Vocal orchestration was
particularly effective.in the speech-
es of the Narrators (Liz Lyons,
Nan Walters, Joanne Wilson) and
the Neighbors (Diana Trent, Kim
Houston, Loraine Rehm).

Wanda Bershen’s haunting voice
made Polly Garter’s song one of
the play’s finest memories, like its
visual counterpart, the dance (per-
formed by Nicole) which symbol-
ized Mr. Pew’s suppressed desire
for romance and sin,

Excellent group ~ co-ordination
was evident in such scenes as the
one with the children (Penny
Keith, Judy Schwartzburg, Diane
Carter, Julie Dempsey, Kathy: Kirk,
Sarah Masterson, Louise Riemen-
echneider, and Libby Coil). Mir-
aculously, everyone on stage look-
ed as if she knew why she was
there, not as if she had been shov-
ed on from the wings at the last
minute. Such bit parts as that of

Thomas’ Impressive Brana for Voices, -

the Guidebook (Sushila Goshal)
were sharply individualized, yet did
not intrude on the harmony of the
ensemble.

Extensively cut though it was
(and this unavoidable fault was
the only one that could be found in
the production), Under Milk Wood
was able to retain not only the
old fashioned village atmosphere
so lovingly evoked. by Thomas, but
also something of the more univer-
sal quality which-Nicole comments
oa: “Though his characters and
ideas are completely exaggerated
—distorted—he communicates a
feeling of their common human-
ity.”

It is this tragi-comic humanity
which underlies the grotesqueries
of this “play of voices”: Mrs. Pew
(Maggie Eccles) and her would-be
-poisoner husband (Persis Charles),
the tyrannical Mrs. Ogmore- Prit-
chard (Bileen Collins) with her
two wretched husbands (Margie
Heller and Karen Ulvestad), illus-
trate the essential nature of close
relationships among human: beings,
formed of both hatred and love,
with perhaps more hatred than

the most enchanting characters on
Skinner stage Friday night. Sally
Nicholson as the young shepherd

Christopher Ery’s The Boy with

was much too long. ‘No play can re-

logue carries the play and is a
sturdy background for the inno-
cence-of-her-son andthe thought-

chorus. Betsy filled her part very
effectively but her faultiness over

Dreiser’s sympathy for the mur-
derer because his brother was
shiftless and they were Italians

Clods’

Treat Viewers

With Shakespearean Selection

by Kristine Gilmartin

Denbigh’s freshman hall play,
Pyramus and Thisbe from Shakes-
peare’s A Midsummer Night’s
Dream was a delight from begin-
ning to end. The Prologue (Ellen
Silverblatt), like the rest of the
actors, had a perfect, stylized way
of speaking that always. humor-
ously reminded the audience that
this was indeed a, play put on not
by professional actors but “by a
bunch of clods.”

Ellem Gross as Wall was cer-
tainly “fhe wittiest partition” as
well as a marvelous deadpan com-
edian.- Her expressions, ‘gestures
and recitation—gleefully pouncing
on each rhyme—were excellent,
and she well deserved the applause
she received,

Pyramus (Carolyn Dolgoff) and
Thisbe (Hilary Henneke) were an
astonishing and amusing, pair of
lovers. Pyramus’ “Out sword, out
sword, out sword!” as he drew his
extremely long weapon, brought
shouts of laughter, as did Thisbe,
who looked like a willow tree con-
tinually bending in the breeze,
--when she rhapsodized, “His eyes
were ... (pause while she tripped
back to inspect the body) green as
leeks.” Both characters died very
well; Thisbe’s last cheery “Adieu”
from the floor was especially fun-
ny.

Ellen Biedler was notable as the
weak and hesitant lion who pro-
claimed as if it were afraid of the
sound of its own voice, “I am a
lion fell.” Moonshine (Dena
Klein) was truly celestial, but the
two pages (Linda Rubin and Jody
Green) kept skillfully carping at

her.
Pyramus and Thisbe, that “pal-

pable, gross play,” was a great
credit to its director, Pat Ranard,
and to all the Denbigh freshmen.
It was also a riotously funny con-
clusion to the class of 1964’s
Freshman Hall Plays.



Rhoads’ Freshmen
Stage ‘’So British’

by Berna Landsman

Directed by Beverly Carter; five
Rhoads freshmen presented Lord
Dunsany’s The Lost Silk Hat as
their entry in the Freshman Hall
Plays of the class of 1964 at the
Cornelia Otis Skinner Workshop
last Saturday evening.

The English gentleman was
played by Judy Zinsser who not
only spoke her lines with a quite
convincing British accent but also
managed by her stage movements
to put across a certain English air
which made the play very delight-
ful.. The laborer, Karen Burstein,
exhibited good stage presence, and
spoke her lines just slowly enough
to give the desired effect. Missy
Warfield, the poet, did an excel-
lent job with a part difficult to
play. She made the most of her
important lines, and got laughs
from the audience on several of
them. “Will you sacrifice for a
hat a beautiful doom?” was quite
convincingly pathetic, The clerk,
Jeanne Pilcher, and the policeman,
Ruth Williamson, also helped to
make the play enjoyable. The di-
verse characterization of types
and the selection of players just
right for their roles all helped to
make Rhoads’ presentation “so









British, my dears” for only ten
hours of rehearsing!

An amusingly presented, but not
too skillfully cut version of Pat-
rick Dennis’ famed Auntie Mame
was the Deanery and non-resident
freshmen’s offering. The staging
was good and the costumes excel-
lent, to the credit of Amy King
the stage manager, although the
presumably necessary breaking of
the play at several points made
any impression of a unified whole
impossible.

Wenda jWardell,: who also di-
rected this bright production, play-
ed Auntie Mame with the skill of
a veteran and was successful to a
very large extent in creating and
making vivid in a short time the
flaming personality (‘Live, live,
live!”) of the heroine. Her nephew
Patrick was winningly portrayed by
Vivien Brodkin, whose mimicry of
the antics of childhood was very
fine.

Agnes ‘Gooch (Jane Fraser) was
a delight. Her after-the-party
curtain line, “I lived, but now ;what
do I do?” was a fitting climax to
a gay and humoruos: interlude.

Twelve BMC Students Tnssive Grants
For Work In Sciences During Summer

This summer eleven Bryn Mawr
students received grants from the
National Science Foundation and
one received a grant from the
United States Department of Pub-
lic Health. These grants were
awarded in frder that students
might work with the faculty on
special projects in the fields of
psychology, biology and chemistry.

In-Lab Life

The Chemistry Department ap-
plied for the grants by describing
the projects with which they
needed student help. They received
four grants. One of these was
awarded to Kathy O’Donnell, class
of ’60, who worked with Mr. Ber-
liner. Unfortunately, she is not
available to discuss her experiment.
Margaret Emery also received a
grant, doing her work with Mr.
Zimmerman. Her project was
concerned with photo-chemical re-

actions, which are made only by
light. She worked with these at
very low temperatures, such as
the temperature of liquid nitrogen,
and with a high degree of purity.
This project was not completed
this summer but Margaret felt
that a great deal of progress had
been made. Mr. Zimmerman has
already published half of his paper
on this subject. Unlike the Ford
the Science
grants. didn’t necessarily contribute
towards honors projects.
Extra-Lab Life

The chemistry students worked
a regular academic day, with some
extra-curricular activity, such as
Monday night reports with stu-
dents from Haverford and Swarth-
more. They also gave a dinner

srs, Zimmerman and Varimbi re-

This encouraged the building of
theatres, ‘The costs and capaci-
ties of these buildings varied

ally either by subscription or by

speculation.
The plays in performance were

and recitation. Authors had no

the eighteenth century provincial
theatre managers obtained copies

The acting, even in circuits, was
very imperfect, due to the large
repertoires, insufficient casts, and
unsuitable. casting, Drinking also
led to the downfall of many pro-
vincial actors.

However, there is evidence that
some performances ‘were very
good. Above all, the provincial
theatre served as a valuable train-
ing ground for actors.

The audiences took a large and
loud interest in the plays, partly
because of the Georgian Theatre
platform stage, which permitted
a very intimate relationship be-
tween the actors and audience.

The gradual collapse of provin-
cial theatre was caused by several
factors. The introduction of “star”
performers made the theatre lose
its: function as an acting” school.
Dramatic writing became poorer
as novels were more profitable.
As transportation developed with
the railroads, touring companies
began to replace stock companies,
bringing latest London successes

Foreign operas and melodramas,
. neither of which the stock com-
panies could effectively perform,
became very popular.

Today, Miss Rosenfeld conclud-
ed, we haven’t covered anywhere
near the number of towns which
the provincial circuit theatres did,
_and with the influx of radio and



television it is unlikely that we
ever will. However, with the com-
ing of the repertory theatre, the
provinces are once again serving
as a theatrical training ground,
and this in turn has developed
much interest in the history of
provincial theatres.

Hockey

e by Jo Rosenthal

“After a decisive defeat at the
hands of Beaver College last Tues-
day, a determined Bryn Mawr ‘hoc=
key team playing Swarthmore won
its Junior Varsity game and lost
its Varsity game by only one
point. Varsity Captain Edie Mur-
phy complimented the defense on
an “outstanding game” with spec-
ial laurels to left fullback Amy
Chapin. Edie attributed the 2-1
defeat to lack of co-ordination be-
tween the defense and the forward
line. The lone Varsity point was
scored on a smashing follow-up
by left inner Kit Mumford.

The JV, undeterred by a score-.
less_first half, forged ahead to a}
2-1 victory in the second half.
Left inner Liz Reed and left field-
er Anne Cross each made a goal,
capitalizing on a slow Swarthmore

defense. The improvement seen |.

in both games this week may well
lead to double victory over Penn

Brings Renown to

by Nell Angelo

Much in demand around Pem-
1 yoke East these days is a long,
thin, bright red book bearing the

title Very Important Cat. Its au-
thor, Wendy Watson, is one of
Pembroke East’s new freshmen.
Originally from Putney, Vermont,
she decided to write this delight-.
ful children’s book at the end of
her freshman year for one of her
bi-annual “academic projects” at
the Putney School. She wrote the
entire book, the tale of a Chinese
businesscat’s courtship of a re-
luctant lady cat, in ten days, She
also illustrated it herself with
“Chinese style” brush and ink
drawings.

One day “a friend of the fam-
ily’s- who has a friend im the pub;
lishing business” came to visit the
Watsons. He happened to notice
Wendy’s book .in the living room,
and, very much impressed, he ask-
ed her if he could borrow it. The
next thing she knew, the Dodd
Mead publishers of New York
were asking her for permission to
publish it. In July, 1958, it was
printed, and Wendy has since been
able to pay the traveling expenses
of a trip to Europe from the roy-
alties. -
| Wendy, the-eldest of seven chil
dren, comes from a very artistic
family. Her father is a free-lance
book illustrator and her mother has
written several children’s books.
Wendy has plans for more writ-
ing, and although she is a pros-
‘pective Greek and Latin major,

J.- Cooper, is studying Political
Theory—here—in-preparation for a
teaching career. He received his
B.A. and M.A. from Brown Uni-
versity, and his law, degree from
Harvard. He practiced law in
Philadelphia prior %0. entering
Bryn Mawr.

(Mr. Cooper now lives in Rose-

chinery by which a government
may seize great power,” remarked
Mr. Norcross, “there is nothing to
stop the government from some

day growing to totalitarian proy

portions.”

Mr. Kury countered by saying
that the Republican party is try-
ing to weaken the effectiveness of
social legislation and needed fed-
eral aid by leaving the administra-
tion of these programs entirely to
the states. He advised his audi-
ence that throughout United States
political history the Democratic
party has stood for “a great con-
glomeration of interests,” while
the Republicans have always rep-
resented big business; therefore,
he said, the Republicans are eager
to place greater power in the hands
of big business and less in the
hands of the federal government.

On the question of foreign pol-
icy, Mr. Kury supported Senator
Rennedy’s statement that Presi-
dent Eisenhower should have ex-
pressed his regrets to Premier
Khrushchev over the U-2 incident.
Mr. Norcross disagreed and also
backed Mr. Nixon on standing fast
_on Quemoy and Matsu. Mr, Kury
remarked on the development of
new problems in Africa, Asia and
Cuba during the past eight years,
and Mr. Norcross declared that
these problems were the heritage
left by the Roosevelt and Truman
administrations.

(Mr. Norcross answered that
F.D.R.’s administration had left
a great vacuum in eastern Europe
aid that Mr. Truman “doesn’t
glitter any more.”

possibly expensive. The first charge is easy to dis-
pose’ of: inflation arises when there is too much
money chasing too few goods; today we are in a
recession because there are too few dollars chasing
too many goods; the Democratic program would
ensure adequate production to forestall a dangerous
inflationary spiral. The second charge is short-
sighted and blind. Much of the money needed will
come from a swifter growth of the economy, which

|will thus yield more revenue at the present tax

rates. Each dollar of additional production puts

an additional 18¢ in tax revenue in the national
treasury. A 5% growth rate, therefore will mean
that at the end of four years the Federal Govern-
ment will have had a total of nearly $50 billion in
additional tax revenues above those presently re-
ceived,

to promote efficient government; the Hoover Com-
mission estimated his revision of budget and ac-
counting procedures would ultimately save $4 billion
annually. Nor does he desire a “Welfare State” in
which everything is to be done for the citizen.
Rather, he shows awareness that the strength of
our economy rests on the strength of individual
consumers and small businesses; witness his vote
in 1958 to reduce taxes on small corporations. As
‘Senator Johnson has.said, “There is only one force
which can put an end to our free enterprise system.
It is the concentration of economic power, the type
that eliminates competition ruthlessly.” The threat
of Big Business is much stronger today than that
of Big Goverment don’t forget that the people
have a say in ‘ government’s activities, but are
powerless before the giant conporations.

To borrow again from Senator Johnson: “We
are committed to a course of social] responsibility,
a course of compassion. We have been made a
stronger nation, and a better nation, because of
that commitment.”

road policy is both theological and

philosophical in nature.

“In the situation of man’ in so-
ciety there arise certain basic
questions, such as, What is being?
What is human existence? What
is -death? These questions Mr, Til-
lich thinks are answered by revel-
ation,” Mr. Horn explained. “But
first the. questions must be asked.
The crucial moments in time when
man asks these questions Mr. Til-
lich calls ‘kiros. The task ‘of
theology is to concentrate on the
traditional answers and to trans-
late them so that they become
relevant to the present time—to
communicate.” . In ‘this process
“revelation” is involved.

Asked about Tillich’s use of the
phrase “ultimate concern,” Mr.
Horn explained that, when “through
the driving power of reason one
becomes concerned not. only with
the purely mechanical side of life,
but with ‘meaning,’ he is a ‘hid-
den theologian’ with ‘ultimate con-
cern’,”

“Tillich,” concluded Mr. Horn,
“has something to say that is rel-
evant to everyone. If you don’t
think it’s relevant, you don’t un-
derstand yourself!”
