African objections to the Peace
Corps—as eloquently expressed by
Wamere Mwangi, Bryn Mawr ’63,

and Victor Kinsera, Haverford ’65—--

highlighted the panel discussion on
the Peace Corps held last Wednesday
evening. Other panel members were
Miss Cynthia Cortney, representing
the Peace Corps, and Pixie Schiefflin,
who represented a potential Corps
member’s view.

Both Wamere and Kinsera concur-
red that national pride prevents many
Africans from graciously accepting
aid from without. “We want to do
it ourselves . . . We want to be on
our own...” were recurring phras-
es during the discussion, They re-
sent the underlying attitude of con-
descension—which stems from a ba-
sic belief that Africans are worthless
and unable to develop anything on
“We don’t like the idea
of someone sacrificing himself to
save us.” *

Kinsera particularly objected to
being tied to another’s culture. Just

Forum Airs Threat

To Free Discourse

by Judith Frankle

The Civil Liberties Conference held
on Saturday, December 9 at Houston
Hall, University of Pennsylvania,
was designed to raise the important
questions concerning the relation of
civil liberties to the individual and
today’s American society. Represen-
tatives from all colleges and univer-
sities in the Philadelphia area and
from other universties.on the eastern
seaboard attended.

The conference was conducted in
seminar form. Each seminar was
headed by an adult who is an author-
ity on the particular subject under
discussion; however, seminars were
designed to focus attention on the in-
dividual student’s own philosophy of
the role of civil liberties in a modern
democratic society.

Seminars

The three seminars were entitled
“Civil Liberties and the Courts,” “So-
cial Restrictions on Civil Liberties,”
and “Civil Liberties in Social Ac-
tion.” The seminar entitled “Civil
Liberties and the Courts” also at-
tempted to question various problems
concerning executive and legislative
restrictions on civil liberties. ~The
chief questions raised and. discussed
under this topic were “Should un-
popular political groups be protected
from government restrictions through
the courts or through the executive
branch of government?” “How can
the Federal government balance its
role of protector of our security in a
cold war with that of protector of
the rights of all political groups to
speak, assemble ahd voice disappro-
val of the status quo?”

The group considered the central
problem to be the conflict between
the necessity for communists to be
allowed to speak if we are to main-
tain a truly open, free domocratic
society, and the necessity of protect-
ing the freedoms that we have at
present from an “international con-
spiracy to overthrow our govern-
ment.” The participants in the sem-
inar felt that it was necessary to up-

hold freedom of for all politi-
cal groups in o that/ a democra-
tic society be Yet they

realized the government’s position in
the cold war and the consequent need



‘for security. The question seemed to

be, “Are. we destroying the true val-
ues for which we stand as a nation

~ “africans Exchaiize scuuertts;
Disapprove Of Peace Corps

as the British in Tanganyika today
“brainwash” the native inhabitants
through the educational system, he
said, so would the Peace Corps at-
tempt to instill American ideas. Yet,
in order that Africans develop their
own culture, teaching must be
through African, not British or Am-
erican perception.

Another objection is that the Peace
Corps may be a step on the road to-
ward Africa’s becoming an ideological!
battleground. The Africans suggest-
ed that the program may be just an-
other weapon in the Cold War; it»
essential aim, they said, seems to
be the preventing of the spread of
Russian influence in Africa. “Why
don’t you fight in your own home?
Don’t fight in ours.”

Furthermore, Africans are skep-
tical of this “latest in a series of
missionary -efforts.” It seems to be
another attempt to give “religion”: to
a “religionless people,” they com-
mented. Kinsera pointed out that he,
for one, is not at all convinced of the
superior values of this religion (i. e.
American culture and ethic). In fact,
he wonders whether we might well
envy them their state of “primitive,
blissful ignorance.”

Timing

Another criticism of the Peace
Corps was of the element of bad tim-
ing in it. Most African nations—
having just shed one colonial power,
are not ready for another group to
start working its way in, they de-
clared.” Furthermore, Africa is not
pressed for time. ‘We would rather
do it ourselves—even if it takes 10
to 20 years—thin have the Peace
Corps do it in two years.”

Miss Cortney agreed to the valid-
ity of many of the objections raised.
She emphasized, however, the volun-
tary nature of the program. Of the
56 African states 40 have already re-
quested Peace Corps aid.

In addition, she stressed the mu-
tual benefits to be gained from the
program. One of its main aims, she
said, is to create a core of people in
the U. S. who are aware of the “wind
of change sweeping the world.” Miss
Cortney said it is essentially an at-
tempt to reacquaint the American
people with the revolutionary expec-
tations of the peoples of the rest of
the world.

Muy ‘s@iscussion
Treats Anglophiles
Of 1700 in France

Mr. George May, Professor of
French literature at Yale, addressed
French students, December 12, on the
subject of the knowledge of English
by French Anglophiles of the eigh-
teenth century. Speaking in French,
Mr. May discussed tht effect of Eng-
lish literature on French writers of
that century and the way in which
they learned the language.

Mr. May began by contrasting the
eighteenth century interest in Eng-
lish culture with the total indiffer-
ence to it during the seventeenth
century.

difference by saying that France had
not been at war with England until
the eighteenth century. He also re-
minded his audience of the distaste
of a Catholic France for a Protestant
England and of, a monarchist France
for an England which had deposed
and decapitated a ‘king. With the
turn of the century,'he said, the emi-
gration of French Protestants tu
England and a general awareness of
foreign culture in France caused an
increase in French concern with Eng-
land.

The speaker described the most
prominent Anglophiles among the
French men of letters of the period.
He spoke of Voltaire and Prevost as
refugees—one political, the other ec-
clesiastical—to England. Both trans-
lated many English works into
French. Both learned English through
his own efforts.

He cited Diderot and Rousseau as
two exceptions to the general pattern
of traveling in England and learning
the language there—Diderot because
he never went to England and Rous-
seau because he was there as a refu-
gee, he was never able to learn to
speak the language, Diderot, how-
ever, acquired enough English to be-
gin his literary career as a translator.

Montesquieu, said Mr. May, was
more representative of the eighteenth
century intellectual in that he travel-
ed in Great Britain. He learned Eng-
lish there through his acquaintance
with Lord Chestérfield, Pope and

methods employed for learning

The Bryn Mawr Chorus and the
Haverford College Glee Club pre-
sented the traditional Christmas Ca-
rol Service at Goodhart, Sunday eve-
ning.

The main feature of the program
was the combined choruses’ presen-
tati f the cantata, “The Infant
Jesus,” by Dietrich Buxtehude. Mr.
Goodale, director of the Bryn Mawr
Chorus, conducted the work and a
string ensemble accompanied it.

The Bryn Mawr group performed
a collection of Spanish Christmas
canciones which Mr. Goodale collect-
ed during his sabbatical last year in
Spain; he also arranged and edited
them. The five songs presented
were “Valame Dios” (My Good-
ness!), “Llorando esta un portal” (In
a Manger), “Angeles del cielo” (An-
gels of Heaven), “Los Reyes siguen
la estrella” (The Kings Follow The
Star), and “Para Regalo” (As a
Present). The first three are anon-|
ymous seventeenth century works;

a refreshing addition to the usual
holiday repertoire.

The Haverford Glee Club, under
the direction of William Reese, pre-
sented three numbers: “Song of
Praise in the Dorian Mode” by Franz
Philipp, “O Magnum Mysterium” by
Jacobus Handl and a carol, “While
Shepherds Watched Their Sheep” by
Hugo Jungst.

The Haverford Brass Ensemble
aided the Glee Club‘ in these works
and also presented a series of -Cho-
rales for the Christmas season. Hav-
erford’s program also provided a
pleasing variety from the Christmas
music familiar to the Anglo-Saxon
ear.
The Reverend Andrew Mutch,
Minister Emeritus of the Bryn Mawr
Presbyterian Church, led the service
with an invocation, prayer, benedic-
tion and his traditional redding of
the Christmas story according to
'Saint Luke. It isa pleasure to ob-
serve that the Reverend Mutch ap-

was the topic of Mr. James Michen-
er’s lecture which was presented un-
der the auspices of the Current
Events Club on Monday evening, De-
cember 12.

For the purposes of his discussion,
Mr. Michener divided all art into two
categories: the primary, or creative,
arts, and the secondary, or presented,
arts. The first category includes
painting, or writing; the second, the
presentation of a play or.concert. Mr.
Michener said he was not qualified to
speak on the second category, but
had very strong opinions as to the
position of the first in American life.

“No government on earth, at any | :

level, of any kind should have any
part at all in what I want to do as
an artist,” Mr. Michener stated. He
added that this statement could ap-
ply to any artist throughout history.

To illustrate his point, Mr. Michen-
er gave the example of a one-act
play he had contemplated writing.
The play, called “The Supplicants”
would deal with a fictional govern-
mental board whose purpose would
be to inquire into the lack of good
American novels. The first.. suppli-

Quaker Committee
Reviews Proposed

Friends’ Institution|

The Committee on a Friends Col-
lege, consisting of members of the
Religious Society of Friends (Qua-
kers), recently held a discussion of
plans for a new college—the Friends
World College. Miss McBride at-
tended this meeting, which was held
at Pendle Hill in October, in the ca-
pacity of consultant,

The two qualities towards which
a Friends World College would aim
are to have a Quaker-affiliated insti-

tution, with Quaker meetings as,,the |

religious service, and an internation-
al institution with students and fac-
ulty from all over the world and a
curriculum which would have an in-
ternational outlook.

The emphasis for studies would be
on social science, humanities, lan-
guages and, in particular, a peace
study program. The purpose of a
peace study plan would be to look at
social processes involved in relations
among peoples and nations, and to
discover peaceful methods of settling
differences.

Quakerism

Quaker concepts would be brought
into the college life through the ef-
fort to incorporate the Quaker prac-
tises of seeking to live simply and
to build a sense of community through
the sharing of domestic chores. There
would be opportunities to attend work
camps and to work on social service
projects. ._Programs. of .independent
study would be enacted) when fea-
sible.

relationship to countries all over the
world, the proposed college would
cooperate with the United Nations
and other New York City resources.
Although plans for a Friends World
College still in in the theoretical
stage, an estate at Glen Head, Long
Island, 25 miles outside of New. York
City, has been given to the Commit-
tee and is a possible site for the col-
lege.

Miss McBride, in discussing the
plans for a Friends World College,
said that one of the biggest problems
of a plan calling for a Friends World
College was the acquisition of funds.
Not until a considerable amount of
money has been received can the
Friends World College become more
than an idea. Furthermore, it would

be difficult to find a faculty both pre- |

dominantly Quaker and well qualified
as the Committee for a Friends Col-
lege plans.
At present, the Committee is try-
ing to raise funds for the college and
for the hiring of a professional Di-
rector to develop the details of the



plan.



Author James Michener

syould be a New Englander who had
left college and run away to the
South Sea Islands, before becoming

an author, He would state to the
board that he had an idea for a
great American novel which involved
a “white whale, a one-legged man, a
character from a flophouse in Boston,
and a South Sea Islander who doesn’t
believe in God.” “Obviously, Melville
would haye no chance at all,” Mr.
Michener concluded. “The artistic
creation of a nation is not achieved
in this way,” he added.

Mr. Michener conceded that he, as"
a novelist, spoke at a certain advan-
tage, because there are now workable
methods for members of ‘his profes-
sion to-make a living. The same is
not true for poets, composers, or
sculptors. Nevertheless, he feels the
solution to their problems is not gov-
ernment subsidy. Their art “must be ~
hacked~-out~of--society~ as” it~ exists:”””

Mr. Michener then showed slides
of various contemporary American -

To make possible a close cultural |paintipgs which he felt an elected

'board would not purchase, and ap-
pointed officials could not justify as
purchases to the public. The slides
included work by Pollack, De Koo-
ning, Park; as well as younger art-
ists.
During the question period which
followed, Mr. Michener expressed his
view that tax rebates to private in-
dividuals who buy art and, later, do-
nate it to museums, is at present the
best method of subsidy to the arts,

Letters to the Editor







apathy or lack of musical acumen—the editors would like to
state that they, too, often find fault with what they see
. about them. They would like, further, to assert that they
' are not responsible for campus failings—no more so than
any individual at Bryn Mawr. The editors, indeed, would like
to see many innovations and renovations; but the editors
‘and their staff are few. They have little enough time to pré-'
duce the News, let alone produce “material”; yet the News
is held responsible for a deficit many students have failed
to analyze. .. ose oe eo al

When a reader states that the News is “Exhibit A” for
Bryn Mawr apathy, commenting on ,‘unsatisfactory’’ editor-
ials and lack of significance and interest to the student body,
(see Letters column) we must ask the student body to de-
termine, in all honesty, from where that significance must
arise. Do readers sincerely feel that the News is responsible
for campus apathy? We should hope not, for if they do, the
situation is far worse than we have estimated. Up to this
point we have printed derogatory letters without comment.
We recognize the need for criticism; but when criticism is
replaced by superficial censure, we feel that comment is
necessary, not just for our defense, but for the benefit of
the college. |

We ask again—is the role of the News to report or to
produce news? We feel that aur duty is to reflect, as ade-
quately and accurately as possible, what is happening around
us. If nothing is happening, we can reflect nothing but. va-
cuity. We don’t enjoy lethargic emptiness any more than our
readers do. We would be delighted to fill that void with ex-
citement, significance, and interest—but what are we meant
to do—smoke opium? If we had more time, perhaps we could
create fictitious occurrences that would be interesting, if
not significant.

Where are the students who are the News? Where are
their dynamic interests and conflicts? Where are music cri-
tics that we are accused of not producing— the critics three
editors tried to locate for a recent review? Where are the
drama critics? Where are the well-informed, thoughtfu peo-
ple we are blamed for not projecting? We, regardless of the
rest of the college, would like to know. :

The editors value letters of criticism, but they want
suggestive, meaningful criticism, not thoughtless reproach.
They want readers to analyze, not deprecate to no specific
purpose. Perhaps some day a reader will tell us where we
can find dynamic news on the BMC campus. We hope so.

Re: Vittles

We were pleased to have heard of a recent and welcome
addition to the College. N.S.A. has arrived! It will be pre-
pared to offer its full services after the vacation, though by
~~ the campus populace should have substantially recov-
ered. py

N.S.A., or to be more explicit, the National Satiation
Agency, comes in where a need is felt or better still where
belts are being tightened. Monday afternoon, as the cold

and_ string beans rattled around in empty stomachs,
»S.A., whose national and executive offices are located at the
far end of the Paoli local, i.e. in the City of Brotherly Love,
was called in to report on what’s happening on other cam-
puses in regard to this problem. There are no comparable
situations it was revealed! (N.S.A. was momentarily stumped
py this fact but soon recovered.)

Anyway, in the spaces cleared on Senior Row, Bread
Lines (with butter) and Soup Kitchens (with saltines) will
be instituted in College Gothic Tents to be installed over the
vacation. Hours for this salvation agency will be thirteen
_ minutes after the start of each meal and all day Saturday.

In addition a more far-reaching solution has been pro-
posed by an astute student. At present, as the “System”
apparently works, the-hall manager who spends the least per
student throughout the college year receives a bonus.’ The
new plan, whose success depends on the support of the stu-
dent body, would require each student to contribute.a dollar
to a pool which at the close of the year would be awarded
_ (along with a_ticker-tape and-confetti parade in the Clois-
. ters) to the hall manager who has spent the most all year.
Things are looking up! 2

The seminar entitled “Social Re-
strictions on Civil Liberties” asked
whether TV, radio and ~newspapers
protect or violate civil liberties, and
whether or not the mass media have
a legal and ethical obligation to pre-
serve an open society by presenting
all pertinent facts, Further ques-
tions posed in this seminar were:
Do the mass media present all the
points of view or do they reflect the
financial control of upper or upper
middle class groups? Is trial by pub-
licity in-the mass media a restriction
on civil liberties (sic)? Does the pub-
lic itself desire to silence unpopular
opinions simply because they are un-
popular or because it fears the effects
of those ideas on job security? The
basic ‘question seems to have been
whether the social stigma attached
to unpopular opinions prevents the
public from being informed and com-

The discussion raised the ques-
‘tions: How effective were the free-

Should civil disobedience be the first
step or the last resort of groups de-
siring social and political changes?

obedience in one area alone?

thought I’d hear myself saying what
might be construed as a defense of
Bryn Mawr, but: (a) it seems to me
that the number of Bryn Mawr grad-

cation geared to their needs. There
must be a few colleges capable of
providing for such women as there

ically beyond the A.B. level “dwin-

the sociologists, many of whose sur-
veys indicate that a mother’s educa-
tional attainments and interests are
among the most important factors in
the educational achievements of her
children. A woman whose education
has been sufficiently intensive in one
field to assure her retention of some
knowledge in that field is able to

I’m sorry for science majors, but
I’m also sorry for the rest of us
peasants, The growing gap between
the scientists and the humanists of
this world has already been the basis
for unfortunate misunderstandings
between the two. In our. age, science
and the liberal arts (especially eth-
ics, or lack of them) exert a pro-
found hold on our daily lives which
they occasionally threaten to tear
apart as they move uncomprehending
and uncoordinated in opposite direc-
tions. Possibly Bryn Mawr is trying
to give its scientists a grounding in
the liberal arts before they move out

of leisure, he said, took six month
courses in grammar, composition and
conversation. Others developed sys-
tems of their own. Prevost, for. ex-
ample, expounded a method by means
of which, he said, he learned English
completely in six weeks. He spent
two days on grammar, fifteen in
memorizing all the words in the lan-
guage and the rest of the time read-
ing.

Mr. May passed from this acceler-
ated method to manuals of instruc-
tion, the earlist of which was. the
work of George Mason in 1722. This
manual conversational expressions
such as: “I pray you, call me the
maid, ‘for I fain would rise” and “Is
it not time to go to school?” “I fear
we shall be beaten, for the hour is
past.” Other manuals followed more
traditional systems of presenting the
language, stressing grammar rather
than conversation,

ture requirements seems fairly in-
elusive. I would only like to add
that the purpose of the literature
policy seems to be a review of Eng-
lish literature and its origins since
French, German, etc. literature cours-
es don’t fill the requirem ent), and
that Latin 101 and Greek 1 are ap-
parently included as acknowledge-
ment of the influence of the Graeco-
Roman classics on our literature.

Discussion apathy is quite a prob-
lem, especially in classes in which the
professor does not encourage (or ap-"
parently desire) discussion, I must
say that most student complaints
aeard are about individual professors.
Many girls are quite shy, and find it
rather difficult to tell a professor they
think he is uninteresting or uninfor-
mative. Especially if he is one of
their professors.

I deplore the general campus
apathy as much as anyone but feel
there is one stronghold of strong
feeling that the editors of Akoue
have overlooked. I realize that
Akoue is an article covering only
certain given problems on the Bryn
Mawr campus, setting forth one par-
ticular set of views in hopes of
arousing interest. I only hope that
enough apathy prevails in the smok-
ers to prevent a reactionn of “Acuc-
koo” or “NO, NO, NO” screamed
with enough force and hysteria: to
dispel weeks of accumulated smoke
and reasonable discussion alike.

Yours (a)pathetically,
T. Barrett Caples
To the Editor:

Until the publications of Akoue,
those people concerned with apathy
at Bryn Mawr could have used: the
College News as Exhibit A for their
case. Until the publication of Akoue,
the News, especially in its weak, un-
satisfactory editorials, did not offer
much of significance or even of in-
terest to the reader. Akoue presents
a refreshing change in its construc-
tive, well-informed, thoughtful ap-
proach. We would like to see it ap-
pear more often than every six weeks
—in fact every week. For we hope
it will soon become an integral part
of the -News,;-raising the standard
not only of the editorials, but also
eventually of the drama and music
reviews. We like to think that the
publication of Akoue will be an im-
portant step toward a review and
subsequent overhaul of the News.

Debaters Compete

Win Ten Contests

The varsity debate team began
this year’s season with an outstand-

won three of its five debates. The
Yale team to which the affirmative
lost won second place in the tourna-
ment. The negative, however, did
defeat Dartmouth, the defending
champions.

Last Saturday was also the date
of the major novice debate of the

|| season. Six Bryn Mawr girls com-

peted, winning a total of seven de-
bates (including one tie) out of

Life in Kassel— :

Senior Describes “Experiment”
Summer with German Families

by Alison Baker

‘Last summer I led a group to Ger-

many for the Experiment in Inter-

national Living, an organization with

headquarters in the hills of Vermont

and national offices spread far over
"the world.

My group consisted of ten college-
age girls. When they first eyed each
other and me they thought how hope-
lessly different we all were; in a day
they had decided we had everything
in common; at the end of a few more
days they noted again, but with plea-
sure, the differences, and at the end
of the summer the separation was
strange and painful.

The trip to Germany was on a stu-
dent ship, sailing through the Medi-
terranean to Genoa. The summer
took us over great ranges of emotion-
al experience. We had the excite-
ment of waking on a train at dawn
in the midst.of the Swiss Alps and
on a rainy night, the terror of ap-
proaching Kassel, the town of our
homestay, where ‘eleven unknown
families’ were waiting on the plat-
form.

At Home

In the first few days of our stay
in Kassel I went with my German
co-leader to visit each of the families.
The American girls, who had been
so very much of a group before sud-
denly looked equally at home sur-
rounded by their German families.
One was showing her little German
“brother” how to throw an American
football that she’d brought him as''a
present, another was sitting having
coffee with her German “mother”, a
dictionary between them, as_ the
mother spoke. no English and the
American spoke only the German I’d
beén able to teach her on the boat.

Later there were other things: slid-
ing down chutes in the’ salt mines
near Salzburg, finding out that all
the German songs that I had care-
fully taught the group on the boat
were exactly those that no German
young people had _ sung since their
childhood, learning new songs and
singing, interminably, You Are My
Sunshine, birthday parties which in-
volved enormous: quantities of food,
a bicycle trip through the rolling
fields and oak woods of the country-
side around Kassel and seeing the
remnants of feudalism in a farm es-
tate surrounded by its town. Most
difficult were the giving of speeches,
which I tried hard to make elegant
expressions of goodwill, the sudden
vulnerability of being dropped into
an unknown family at the beginning
of the summer and then the strange
and ‘perhaps permanent separation.

Next came a stay in Berlin, with
just the group.of Americans. We set
oft on a bus across the East Zone to
the sadness of Germans and the
alarm of American parents. Berlin,
the focus of ‘the world, became a
very exciting focus for our summer,
a way of relating the understanding
acquired in a Kassel family to. the
situation of Germany ‘in the world.
We were in Berlin at a time when
the West Berliners were eager to
talk, to explain their situation and
their hopes, particularly to Ameri-
cans. The German we had learned
or.improved during the summer be-
came essential in Berlin.

Berlin

Objectively you might learn most
about Berlin by reading The New
York Times, but’ the atmosphere of
Berlin at that time (Aug. 21-25) was
something that no one could help
feeling the moment he set foot in the
city. In Kassel the German families
were almost ‘unconcerned about the
Berlin crisis. They did not see it as
much else but an intensification of
the sixteen-year crisis of a divided
Germany. Letters from America
were much more alarmistic. The
concern in Berlin itself was far dif-
ferent from either. It was the con-
cern of people who cared for Berlin
as their city and as the symbol of
the free West. Coming to Berlin, no

—And in Berlin

one, I think,’can help but be affected
by the spirit of the West Berlin peo-
ple.

We also went into East Berlin,
through Stalinallee where the plaster
is flaking on post-war splendor, to
the Soviet war memorial park. Walk-
ing through the streets, my impres-
sion was one of desolation.

During the summer my group were
often frustrated by the apparent lack
of political interest in Germany, or
by the feeling that they were expect-
ed only to make a few remarks rep-
resenting the American point of view,
not to enter into any real discussion.
In Berlin, however, this was no long-
er true. Every streetcar conductor
was eager to say what he thought of
the closing of the border.

The summer ended with an all-
night sitting up train trip from Ber-
lin to Paris and then a day and night
in Paris walking and looking. That
was the most exhausting part of the
whole summer.

Beware! You arq about to read a
biased article. Watch out for “col-
ored” adjectives (some might even
be a bit pink). Nevertheless, in spite
of (or perhaps because of) my innate
prejudice, I feel the time has come
for someone to take a cold, hard look
(instead of an amused glance) at
that strange anomaly that seems to
be perpetrating itself on campus: the
ultra-conservative group.

Let. me begin by criticizing basic
assumptions. Theoretically the aim
of this movement is to reinstate the
economic rights of the individual
(which have, as we all know, so bad-
ly deteriorated during these past
thirty years of liberalism). They
propose a return to good old-fash-
ioned laissez-faire capitalism with no
governmental regulation. In such a
system every individual will be free



to do as he pleases and to rise to
whatever position he so desires. They
profess a faith in the innate ability of
the individual, but all do not share
the same ability. The unequal distri-
bution of “innate abilities” results in
a harmonious” pattern where each
somehow achieves his just due.

Darwinism

The most obvious objection to this
theory ‘is that no “natural” sqcial
harmony does evolve, that in fact a
Darwinistic struggle is the refiult.
One has only to glance at the age of
laissez-faire capitalism in the U. S.
to realize that the only harmony ar-
rived at was the domination over the
many by the few (Harriman, Rocke-
feller, Carnegie, James J. Hill, etc.).
It was only the exertion of govern-
mental control which finally limited
the growth of monopolies.

It would seem that if pushed to its









logical conclusion the conservative
system would be pure and simple an-
archy—with nothing to restrain the
greedy (biased adjective), ambitious
few from imposing their will upon
the less ambitious in their struggle
for power. To be sure, those at the
top—the survivors of the cut-throat
(biased adjective) competition could
wallow luxuriously in their economic
rights. But what about those who
fail to make the grade? How do they
secure their rights?

A Conservative would answer, I
think, that those not at the top would
content themselves with having ar-
rived at their natural spot in the
world. I object to this assumption
of an almost mathematical correla-
tion between ambition, ability and
satisfaction. It is not only revolting-
ly deterministic, but it is blissfully
oblivious to the irrational, unpredict-
able side of man.

The Conservatives often movingly

Christmas

To send our friends our Christmas wishes,
Like lots of presents under the tree: :
A bomb shelter for you and one for me,

And under the mistletoe lots of kisses.
We wish you a Christmas dinner good,
And also a three weeks supply of food.
Goodwill we wish, and on earth peace.
And in the radiation level no increase.
And to you gathered in festive scenes,
We wish you no more mutant genes.

- According to the catalogue of the
Graduate School, “the purpose of
graduate work at Bryn Mawr is to
prepare students for professional ca-
reers in which scholarship and re-
search are ‘fundamental require-
ments.” -In_-providing. the advanced
training which the attainment of this
goal necessitates, the college has tak-
en on some of the qualities of a uni-
versity and has thus emerged with a
unique super-imposition of university
advantage on a small liberal arts col-
lege structure.

Typical of this: dual nature are the
double-purpose libraries, designed for

laboratory facilitiés, planned for both
course-work and advanced research.
The faculty members, too, must
fulfill the requirements of both the
undergraduate and graduate schools,
especially since the general policy is
for each teacher to instruct classes
ranging in level from the elementary
to the most advanced. Because we
must be capable of directing advanc-
ed research;’a faculty member is or-
dinarily deeply involved in his own
field and doing original research of

such extraordinary individuals is
made easier by the fact that many
of them are seeking the very advan-
tages wihch Bryn Mawr’s dual na-
ture offers.

The normal course-load for a fac-
ulty. member. is three units—one in
the Graduate School and two on the
undergraduate level. But this visible
portion of his responsibilities con-
ceals in iceberg fashion a great many

honors papers, M.A. theses and Ph.D.

The division of studies in the Gra-

ing the fact that the individual is sub-

conditions from birth, the Conserva-
tive fails to realize that, in fact, the
individual cannot cope with these fac-
tors by himself. By advocating a

Conservative is forced into the ab-
surd position of expecting,say, an un-

with Ford Motors Co., and even in
the-end to come out on top (if he has
enough ambition).

Government

Furthermore, how can any ‘im-
provement in social conditions be ef-
fected if things are just allowed to
“run their course?” These inequali-
ties will not just vanish of their own
accord (and I have in mind school
segregation), They must be acted
upon—and the only way the individ-
ual has the power to act: effectively
upon them is in conjunction with oth-
ers through representative govern-
ment (contrary to conservative opin-
ion). The government represents the
interests of all its citizens, is respon-
sible for the betterment of the con-
ditions (i. e., the welfare, to use an
explosive term) of each of them,
and must act accordingly.

Superpatriotism

On the international scene the
Conservatives see as the greatest
menace to individual rights not creep-
ing socialism but galloping commu-
nism, They are probably justified in
this attitude; yet I find their ten-
dency to exult in a sort of ecstatic
superpatriotism nauseating. They see
nothing but good in things American
and nothing but evil in things Rus-
sian. Any attempts at compromise,
negotiation, or understanding are
branded as appeasement. They ar-
rive at the incredible position of pre-
ferring nuclear holocaust to negotia-
tion. Instead they would “roll back
the Iron Curtain’—even blockade
Russian ports in an ultimatum over
Berlin.. All this because of an as-
sumption that is not necessarily true:
namely, that the Soviet Union is a
power bent on world revolution and
domination. Erich Fromm in May
Man Prevail points out the fallacies
of this assumption. I am not trying
to deny the possibility that this as-
sumption may be valid; yet I fail to
see how one can risk the future of
mankind. over anything less than an
absolute certainty.

Absolutes

My final and most essential criti-
cism is of he Conservatives’ tendency
to see things in terms of absolutes—
FAmerica is Holy, Rusia is Diabolic;
the absolute freedom of the individ-
ual; “I’d rather be dead than Red,”
ete, It is this type of reckless, un-
controlled (admittedly intoxicating)
thinking—that will not accept qualifi-
cations or limits, that scorn compro-
mise, that sees the world as a Ma-
nichean struggle of good and évil—
that leads to an almost religious ra-
dicalism not unlike that characteristic
of Nazi Germany.

Furthermore, because of this ten-
dency to see things in terms of black
and white—or should I say red and
true blue—they see pink in nearly
anything that doesn’t agree with
them. Thus has developed a sort of
warped terminology where the term
liberal” is nearly synonymous with
“communist.” At the same time—
and this is perhaps the most tragical-
ly ironic twist — a’word such as
“Americanism” now connotes such a
hypernationalistic attitude as to be

“American” ideals. most dearly.

Gay Nick Clause
Recalls Childhood,
Cites Pet Peeves

by Ellen Rothenberg

“Ho, ho, ho,” expounded the genial
and ruddy Nick Clause, noted philan-
thropist and reindeer rancher, as he
received us into his well-insulated
den. “And what would you like for
Christmas?”

We explained that we had come
not to ask favors but to try to dis-
cover the real Nick Clause. At‘this
Mr. Clause beamed effusively, laid a
finger aside of his nose and said,
“Actually you might say, I’m just a
simple, small-town boy. at heart.”

He described his childhood, spent,
he said, in the swamplands of Louisi-
ana, where he learne mos-
quitoes, hot weather and Spanish
moss,

“At the age of sixteen,” he said,
“{ hitchhiked my way to Detroit,
where I got a job at an auto factory.
By the time I had spent a year there
I had begun to hate cars almost as
much as mosquitoes, hot weather and
Spanish moss. I devoted my spare
time to inventing a mode of individ-
ual transportation which would super-
cede the automobile. After years of
heart-breaking labor, I found it: the
flying reindeer and sleigh.”

We wondered that Mr. Clause had
not marketed his new discovery. At
this, he shook his head sadly. “Ho,
ho, ho,” he said. “The American

public: was not ready for my inven- |,

tion. They disregarded it in favor
of the Edsel. Disillusioned, I decid-
ed to keep my discovery for my ,own
use.”

To Arctic

Determined to keep out of the
reach of mosquitoes, hot weather,
Spanish moss and Edsels, Mr. Clause
took off on his elevated sleigh line

and headed for the Arctic Circle. |

There, he told us cheerfully, he set
to work increasing his herd of rein«
deer, and would have been very hap-
py had he not developed an allergy
to penguins.

_ “Ho, ho, ho,” he said. ‘Ordinarily
I don’t mind the little critturs. But
along about the middle of December
they begin to get me down. After a
few years, I decided that the only
way out was to take a trip each De-
cember until the new year rolled
‘ around.”

We commended these precautions
and asked him where he went on
his travels. “Oh all over the world,”
he said happily. “Wherever I go
there are bound to be either mos-
quitoes, hot weather, Spanish moss,
or automobiles, so I don’t stay in one
place very long. What I have found,”
he added, “is, that almost all those
things can be avoided by sticking
close to chimneys. I don’t know if
*you’ve ever noticed, but one rarely
finds mosquitoes or Spanish moss in
chimneys. Hot weather, yes, but dry
heat which isn’t nearly so bad. As
to autombiles, there has never to my
knowledge been an Edsel discovered
in a flue.”

“Mr. Clause,” we asked, “is there
any truth to the rumor that you
leave gifts wherever you and your
reindeer land?”

Sublimating Santa

“Ho, ho, ho,” said the ruddy-cheek-
ed gentleman. “Yes, and it’s an idio-
syncracy that my psychoanalyst and
I have never been able to figure out.
We've made a good deal of progress
on my phobias about mosquitoes, hot
weather, so I don’t stay in one place
__ very long, but this compulsion to dis-
tribute gifts is a real puzzler. The
nearest we can come to it is to call

it a sublimation of overly developed |

Two of the most lovely and unps-

The Peasant Shop has a number

with which to spear baby frankfur-

In the field of Christmas cards,
the Peasant Shop has a good selec-

simple pictures on them. The only
disadvantage to Page and Biddle’s is
that it is located pretty far down the
