Nehru Suggests Bridging
Wisdom-TechnologyGap

Addressing an overflow audience
of American College Students this
Saturday at the Hotel Commodore,
India’s Prime: Minister Nehru called
attention to the great and potential-
ly disastrous gap between today’s
technology and its wisdom, and warn-
ed his audience that the responsibility
for bridging this gap, “for developing
an integrated view compatible with
atomic technology,” was largely in
their hands.

Nehru, guest speaker at a confer-
ence planned for his United States
visit by The Collegiate Council of
the United Nations, laid primary
stress on the immediate problem fac-
ing men today — the necessity of
avoiding nuclear war. No one wants
this war, he noted, and yet nations
seem powerless to prevent it. If we
are to do so some deep thinking is
required, we must develop a “spirit-

“uality in- approach.”

Nehru stressed the extraordinary
paradox of the twentieth century—
the appearance of a possible solution
through technology to the ‘eternal
problems of scarcity and the simul-
taneous drive toward destruction
which this same technology has made
possible. By virtue of the power of
the United States’ responsibility for
holding off this destruction and has-
tening the satisfaction of basic hu-
man needs lies largely in her hands.
Nehru here issued some veiled re-
minders about the possible pitfalls
involved in assuming this responsi-
bility.

There is an American tendency, he
said, to apply American standards
universally—this although countries
differ and “it does not necessarily
follow that they will want to be’a like.’
Americans, he noted, should learn
to appreciate the merit of unity in
plurality.

Nehru, answering questions sub-
mitted earlier by conference dele-
gates, conceded that he did not un-
derstand the concept of a neutral na-
tion in a pece-time context. India,
he said, is non-aligned. It belongs to
no military bloc, Military alliances,

Playwright Albee
To Discuss Works
After Thanksgiving

Mr, Edward Albee will speak at
Bryn Mawr, under the auspices of
the Arts Council on November 28.
Mr. Albee, considered to be one of
the leading American avant-garde
dramatists, is the author of four
plays: The Sandbox, The American
Dream, The Death of Bessie Smith,
and The Zoo Story. -~— ~» .

At the age of 32; Mr. Albee ha
experienced a swift success in the
theatrical world. Two of his plays
are now being shown in London; his
plays have also been presented in the
United States and have been premier-
ed in Berlin. The State Department
has presented The Zoo Story as part
ofa cultural exchange to South
America. Mr. Albee has been pre-
ented with many awards—including
he Vernon Rice Award and the Obie
A which is given by “The Vil-

Voice” for the best work done
off-Broadway.

Mr. Albee has recently spoken at
Harvard, and will give a poetry
reading at a YMHA series in New



York this~spring. He has~also~di-

rected his own version of The Zoo
Story in Philadelphia.

At Bryn Mawr, he will discuss his
own work and his experiences in the

he continued, have done much harm.
There can now be.no thought of a
military solution to the world’s prob-
lems, because “destruction is not a
solution which wise men should have
in mind.” :

Senator Joseph Clarke of Pennsyl-
vania delivered the concluding ad-
dress of the conference. He elaborat-
ed upon a point considered by Nehru,
the unwarranted preoccupation of the
press with the symptoms of military
crises. When the citizens of the
United States are as well-informed
about the new Disarmament Commis-
sion as they are about the Berlin
situation, then, he suggested, we
might be able to get somewhere.
Clarke was enthusiastic about the po-
tential of the Kennedy administra-
tion and spoke with optimism about
the possibilities of avoiding nuclear
testing and achieving a peaceable so-
lution through greater use of the
United Nations.

Malraux Presents

Nihilism of Today; |

Proposes Solution

“Malraux et son temps” was the
subject of a lecture given by M. Jean
Canu Monday evening, November 13.
M. Canu, formerly a professor at

Bryn Mawr, is currently teaching at
Georgetown University.

Malraux writes of a world in
which obscurity and incertitude reign
supreme. God is dead and meaning
and significance expired with him.
In this absurd world all that remains
is man. “Maintenant le _ seule
problém c’est connaitre |’homme.”
But man is a paradoxical creature:
he has been cursed with the con-
sciousness of his own mortality; yet,
at the same time, he dreams of an
Absolute. Canu termed this “une
nostalgie religieuse.”

How then is this “nostalgie” to be
satisfied? The only solution for Mal-

Blegen Elucidates Discoveries
At Nestor Palace Excavations

On Monday, November 138, the .de-
partments of Greek and Archaeology:
presented Phofessor Carl W. Blegen
in.a Class of ‘1902 lecture on “The

Excavations in the Palace of Nestor.”

Mr. Blegen, Professor Emeritus of
the University of Cininnati, and cur-
rently Professor of Archaeology at
the American School of Classical
Studies at Athens and one of this
country’s foremost archaeologists
spkoe about his “dig” at Pylos in
southwestern Greece which as un-
covered a magnificent Mycaenean
palace and its adjacent town. It is
Profesor Blegen’s thesis and one now
generally accepted that “if there ever
was a Nestor, this was his palace.”

Mr. Blegen began his lecture with
a flattering characterization of Bryn
Mawrters. He thanked, in particu-



Loerke Follows Christian
Use of Pagan Art Forms

William, Loerke, Associate Profes-
sor of the History of Art, spoke on
Tuesday evening in the Common
Room for a series of lectures, The
Sources of Art in Religion, sponsored
by Interfaith and Arts Council. The
title of his lecture was “Religious
Conquest of Secular Art Forms:
Christian Use of Pagan Motifs.”

Mr. Loerke showed the adaptation
of pagan art forms into early Christ-
ian art in the fields of painting,
sculpture, and architecture. The early
Christian, he said, had the world of
pagan forms confronting him; he



employed them in his art although it



“Real mothers are here to stay,”
was. the conclusion reached by Dr.

“The Nature of Maternal Affection
in Monkeys.” Dr. Harlow, Director

of the University of Wisconsin Pri-
mate Laboratory, gave his address
in the Biology Lecture Room Thurs-
day evening, November 10.

The lecture was illustrated by a
series of slides—of monkeys—and of
charts which registered the observa-
tions drawn from various experiments.
The first experiment described by Dr.
Harlow involved placing mother mon-
keys in a box and giving them the
option of pushing two buttons: one
would open a window to a picture of
a baby monkey and the other to an
adult. The number of mothers choos-
ing to look at babies was_ highest
among those with new-born babies
of their own.

The next experiments were design-
ed to trace the miother-infant rela-
tionship developmentally. A playpen
situation was used in which the ba-
bies may leave the mothers, but the
mothers can’t follow.. The babies
thus may meet and play with each
other in a central area. Observations
of the various responses of monkey
to monkey indicate that three stages
in maternal love exist in the develop-
ment; first, where the mother pro-
vides comfort and protection - - -
she is rarely hostile to the infant (up
until about 90 days); second, a per-
iod of ambivalence where she mani-

third, separation of the infant from
the mother (at about one year).

The play behavior patterns of baby
monkeys with each other were also



observed. The early stage is a “rough

and tumble” type of play. The sec-
ond pattern is a “you chase me, I’ll
chase you” situation and thirdly, a
“mad activity” pattern can be detect-
ed. Sometimes the youthful monkeys
indulge in co-operative play entitled
“clobber the other monkey.”
This same experimental situation
was duplicated using, this time, cloth
dummy mothers instead of real ones.
The experiment results showed that
“motherless” monkeys manifested ab-
normal play behavior and inadequate
social adjustment. The real moth-
ers encourage separation; the cloth
ones do not. The real mothers facil-
itate baby’s going out and interacting
with other monkeys. The incidence
of “mad activity” play is appreciably
lower among the surrogate monkeys.
Thus, the motional system fails to
develop normally in these monkeys.
The ultimate result of the experi-
ments is the inadequacy of these
monkeys—both male and female—in
heterosexual relationships. They have
no interest in the opposite sex and
only with difficulty can be induced to
reproduce. Furthermore, those fe-
males who do have babies are after
ten days extremely abusive to them,
previous to this they are merely in-
different. Examples were given of
one mother who ingeniously decided
to hang by her feet from the top of
the cage so as to have two hands
free with which to whop her baby.
Several almost killed their offspring.
One incidental but significant point
is that the babies kept coming back

‘for more. ~ Throughout the~-experi-

ment the love of the baby for the
mother seemed much deeper than
vice versa. :

Dr. Harlow hesitated between the

‘position. Mr. Loerke emphasized the

was an early Christian attitude that
there was no connection between the
classic art of Athens and the religi-
ous art of Jerusalem. Pagan forms
were given Christian significance in
a continuation of ancient traditions.

The early Christian artist did not
think that he was making a new con-
tribution to art, but, Mr. Loerke

pointed out, there was certainly
progress in the development of art
from Roman Imperial to early
Christian to Romanesque to Gothic
and so-on. One example of this prog-

the principles of construction of a
building were exposed and integrated
into the building. In contrast, earlier
architecture concealed the structural
workings of a building. In revealing
the engineering aspects of architec-
ture as a part of the building, the
early Christians introduced a new
aesthetic to architecture,

After his explanation of the topic,
Mr. Loerke showed slides illustrating
the Christian quotation of pagan
forms. - Noah, cast up from the deep
on sarcophagus facades, is modelled
on the pagan cult figure, Andi-
mean. In two successive rep-
resentations of cruicifixion scenes,,
he showed how. the artist overcame
the problem of whether there should
be any representation of the cruci-
fixion because until the fifth century,
crucifixion was still a legal means of
punishing criminals and the Christ-
ians did not think this the best way
of showing Christ.

The Good Shepherd motif used
throughout antique art was shown
in a mosaic over the door of the
tcmb of Galla Placida in Ravenna.
Roman imperial influences in it were
pointed out: the elongated cross sim-
ilar to an imperial] staff and the im-
perial robes of Christ, and His seated

importance that the position of a mo-
saic,work had in an architectural con-
text in establishing its precise mean-
ing. That the Good ‘Shepherd is}.
over the entrance of Galla Placidia’s
tomb is a sign towards a Biblical
parable in which the Christian com-
munity is imagined as Christ’s fold.
This parable also contains an illusion
to a door by which one can enter the
fold, =

sages and illustration was shown by
the Rossano_Gospels, in which an ef-
fort was also made to demonstrate
that the Old Testament was prophetic

bathroom was found, equipped with
a commodious tub, and running’ wa-
ter, piped from half a mile away di-
rect to the palace. Over both of the
great hearths were fragments of in-
ganious terra-cotta chimneys to car-
ry off the smoke.

lar, Miss Lang of the Greek depart-
ment who has been with him on this
particuar expedition, He then pro-

ceeded briefly to describe the site and

the history of the excavation before
taking the audience on a “tour of the
palace” via colored slides.

The establishment sits high on a
hill overlooking the sea a few miles
north of Navarino. The area was one
of the most densely populated in the
Mycenean period, and one of the
slopes of the hill beneath the royal
dwelling are spread out the houses
of the townspeople. —

The uncovering of this. complex
was begun in 1939 but interrupted
by the Second World War. Work
was resumed in 1952, and now, after
ten seasons’ digging, it should be
completed in a year or two.

The palace proper, as revealed to
date consists of five distinct units; a
central state and residence wing, a
smaller résidence wing, an armory,
and two wine cellars. The building
was an administrative center as well
as a dwelling place, and from a
room Mr. Blegen described as per- .
taining to “the Department of Inter-
nal Revenue” has enierged positive

proof that the Myceneans spoke

Greek—in the form of over one thou-
sand clay tablets inscribed in “Linear
B”, the earliest known written form
of Greek.

In the palace also were great ma-
gazines containing jars of olive oil
which ignited and helped bake the
tablets when the palace was destroy-
ed by fire at the end of the Late Hel-
ladic III b era, about 1200 B.B.

The bulk of the evidence from the
palace is in the form of pottery. Over

ress is found in architecture, where}7099-pots-were found; one room pti
yielded a three-foot layer of broken
drinking cups—2,853 of them.

The fittings of the palace also pro-
vided valuable information about
An elaborate

In its heyday the palace must

have presented a gay and colorful
appearance since the walls, floors
and woodwork were all painted. The
walls were covered with frescoes,
many of griffins which Mr. Blegen
believes were “symbols of the royal
family which inhabited the palace.”
There. were also numerous other
frescoes of life size men and women,
horses, dogs and lions. Miss Lang
did the work of piecing many of
these together.

The building was of squared por-

ous blocks and cannot be said to have
been wholly forgotten by later gen-
erations since they used it liberally
as a quarry. Professor Blegen clear-
ly delighted his large audience who
were as much cnarmed with his un-
assuming presentation and understat-
ed wit as with his obvious erudition.

A Humanitarian Impulse

Sitting in the News Room late Tuesday night, rather

tired, rather lonely, rather hungry, we began to wonder where
we might find a little sociability and food. We admire Soda

Fountain’s attempt. to satisfy

such desires, but the limited

space and the very few hours it is open cannot fulfill this
need. The Bryn Mawr campus should provide facilities for

recreation, relaxation, and refreshment.

Having the halls

open till 12:30 Friday nights and being able to use Goddhart

are only partial and temporary answers to the problem.

A

campus isolated from ordinary commercial] facilities must
provide its own solution. Bryn, Mawr needs a student union

sarily require a new building

(‘

but only .the refurbishing ‘of

some large room—basement (?). We suggest that this room
include lounging facilities; perhaps soda fountain could be
moved to this location and thereby be maintained at all hours.

We would like to see this stu
the morning ’til two at night.
We feel this need can no

Fire and Smoke

longer be ignored.

Yesterday at noon a cigarette was found smoldering. It
was probably one of an-infinity of cigarettes which have, will
and are smoldering (smoldered, smolder) throughout time
and space either in cigarette form or that of a prototype or

successor. The strange thing

about this cigarette is that it

is indicative of a rather appailing lack of memory or concern
on the part of the putter who abandoned it. For it was founda
on the second tioor of Taylor across from the Dean’s oftices.

Perhaps once again communications are at fault. It may
be possible that there are a tew people wandering around,
abandoning lit cigarettes here and there who have no idea
that Taylor went up in $150,000 worth of flames this sum-
mer, Ur perhaps they might know this little fact but assume
that all of ‘'ayior is now asbestos, simulating wood in appear-
ance but not property. Perhaps.

Then again, smoking and the carrying of smoke-able
objects is commonly limited to the Merion Green side of the

first floor of ‘liaylor.

‘hat the cigarette in question got up

the stairs, through the tire doors and halfway around the

three-quarter quadrangle-like

corridor of the second floor

is also a violation of the Seit-Government Association’s rules

on smoking.

There is one positive note to the whole flagrant, negli-

gent complex and that. is that

the cigarette was not steppéd

on. Perhaps at the last moment before her foot would have
undone any of the energy-yielding capacities of the_little
thing, the smoker realized what a lovely floor it was “Tying
on and refrained from crushing ashes into it. Or, perhaps,

she likes energy.



‘NSA On Algeria

DECLARATION:

The 14th National Student Congress re-
affirms USNSA’s position on the Algerian
question as put forth at previous National
Student Congresses. In particular, USNSA
condemns the French authorities, not only
for the continued suppression of academic
freedom within Algeria, but also for the
intensified violation of the rights of Al-
gerian: students.

also condemns terrorist groups which con-
tinue to persecute, even to the point of
murder, both in and out of France and
Algeria. in this regard it notes the case
of Alki Aissiou, a medical student in Bel-
gium assassinated on March 9, 1960. Sup-
porters of Algerian students have also
been persecuted, for example, George Le-
parches, a Belgian professor at the Uni-
versity of Leiges, who was severely in-
jured by the explosion of a bomb receiv-
ed .in the mail. USNSA strongly urges
that any nation wherein Algerian students
or their supporters are residents take the
necessary steps to protect them from
political persecution, and that the govern-
ments concerned make serious efforts to

terrorist groups perpetrating such perse-
cution.

Recognizing the deplorable conditions
imposed on Algerian students, the 14th
National Student Congress expresses its
deep solidarity. with, and pledges its mor-
al and material support for the Algerian

hostilities; condemns denial by Frénch au-
thorities of the most elementary and

torture under any circumstances; respects
the right of self-determination and terri-
torial integrity; and calls for an indepen-
dent, unified Algeria. To this end we
urge further negotiations between the
French government and the Algerian pro-
visional government. In addition USNSA
hopes that the government of the United

this conflict and takeall possible meas-
ures to end it. USNSA asks that the gov-
ernment of the United States discourage
private parties and corporations from
actions which serve to prolong the Alger-
ian War.

ACTION:

The 14th National Student ° Congress
urges that USNSA continue fulfilling its
responsibilites as a signatory of the reso-
lution of the London Special Internation-
al Conference of April 17-18, 1958, urging
national unions of students to raise funds
for Algerian students by:

1. Cooperation with the Coordinating
Secretariat of the International Student
Conference (COSEC) in the securing and
administering of scholarships and travel
grants for Algerian students.

2. Endeavoring to help Algerian stu-

continue their higher education in the
United States. |

3. Urging individual student govern-
ment to employ such means as are avail-
able to obtain scholarships for Algerian
students.

4. Urging individual student govern-
ments to continue support of the
COSEC coupon plan for aid to Algerian

A Flag at Bryn Mawr

To the Editor:

I just recently noticed that this.
college does not fly our country’s
Flag. I imagine that this omission
is merely an oversight on someone’s
part, but I think it should be correct-
ed. We ought to fly our Flag as a
mark of the pride and love we have
for our country, and as a reminder
Mto ourselves that we must be patriots
as much as were the men who wrote |
the Declaration of Independence and/
the people who established it; that
we, equally with them, owe our coun-
try “our lives, our fortunes, and our
sacred honour.”

Self-Gov Answers Letter

To the Editor:

The Executive Board of the Self-
Government Association would like
to thank Sue Weisberg of the Fresh-
man Class for taking the time to put
into constructive suggestion the dis-
satisfaction which she has felt with
the Self-Government examination
which she took recently. When dis-
satisfaction takes such a concrete
form, the Board’s job of clarifying
its position is greatly facilitated.

Sue supports the intention of the
Self-Gov. exam—to insure that the
Freshmen know the rules. It would
appear, then, that which rules are to
be considered basic is the point in
dispute, Since all the rules are ‘found-
ed to guarantee either the safety of



-|the students or the smooth function-

ing of the College, the Executive
Board feels that no rule can be sin-.
gled out as more basic to the system
than any other. Rules which are
unnecessary should be removed from
the Constitution, not from the Self-
Gov. exam. The exam is based upon
the theory that carelessness in learn-
ing the “minor” rules will eventually
be carried over into carelessness of
their observation and finally, into
carelessness of the observation of the
“major” rules, Sue’s citing of the
rule that three or more couples are
needed for a party at Applebee barn
was unfortunate since this is not a
Self-Gov. rule and appears nowhere
Hin-the-Constitution. =*=Ssé‘—S

The suggestion that the number
of essay questions be reduced is a
good one and will be brought to the
attention of the group which compos-
es next year’s examination.

We hope that al] the Freshmen do
not feel that the Self-Gov. exam was
simply an exercise in “senseless
‘cramming’” and that perhaps Sue
Weisberg no longer thinks so.

Sincerely,
Juli Kasius
Second Junior

Off-Campus Nash Reply

To the Editor:

The remarkable proposition was
set forth in Mr. Warner Berthoff’s
article last Wednesday that Mr. Ed-
ward Nash’s conservatism “has little
to do with responsible politics’—
which is to say that Mr. Berthoff not
only disagrees with such conserva-
tism, but disqualifies it from serious
consideration. Presumably, Mr. Ber-
thoff would narrow political dialectic
to include primarily (at least in rela-
tion to the national political parties)
the views of Eisenhower and Rocke-
feller Republicans and . Northern
Democrats. Herein would lie “re-
sponsible” politics. de d

Mr. Berthoff’s orthodoxy i$ ground-
ed on the belief that Mr. Nash, and
apparently conservatives in general,
oppose the art of mediating the com-
| peting interests and purposes of the
different groupings within society be-
cause of a dedication to individual
freedom. He thus confuses opposition
to the trend among modern politicians
of appealing almost exclusively to,
and indeed manipulating, minorities
and interest groups, with a rejection
of the art of mediation. The conser-
vative, of course, accepts such medi-
ation, but maintains a sense of pro-
portion by giving due consideration
to individuals first, and then to







groups, and he finds such mediation
meaningful only within the frame-
work of a Jeffersonian and in fact
Constitutional “gradation of author-
ities.”

The article concluded with a sim-
plistic consideration of economic lib-
eralism, interspersed with such
phrases as “old-fashioned, or primi-
tive,” “weird ‘economic man’,” and
‘Gdolater of individual success.” But
of greater significance is Mr. Ber-
thoff’s declaration that if Mr. Nash
“| .. goes on sticking to his princi-
ples, he stands as much chance of
election to significant public ‘office as
a Socialist.” One cannot help but re-
call the statement attributed to Nor-
man Thomas, who found it no longer
necessary to run for public office be-
cause most of his platform had al-
ready been incorporated into the ma-
jor party platforms. And to imply,
as Mr, Berthoff did, that there is no
room in the major parties for conser-
vatives,. once again betrays not only
his orthodoxy, but also his ostrich
approach to the events of the past
decade. To him, the Tafts, Byrds
and Goldwaters just don’t exist.

Where Were
Conservatives

To the Editor:

Regarding the “free exchange of
ideas and criticisms” between liberals
and conservatives which all of us who
are interested in political issues sure-
ly desire: if ever there was a time
for this exchange, it was during the
animated discussion following Ed-
ward, L. Nash’s talk to the Current
Events Club on the upsurge of con-
servatism. Two timid voices in sup-
port. of Mr. Nash’s position were
heard that evening. Other conserva-
tives were either not present or not
talking. The presence of liberals at
such a meeting indicates their readi-
ness to discuss issues. But where
were you, conservatives?

To-the Editor:

Thank you for printing three reso-
lutions passed last summer at the an-
nual Congress of the National Stu-
dent Union.

However, we should like to bring
it to your attention that the first

resolution, the one on Soviet testing,
was passed not by the Congress, it-
self, but by the National Executive
Committee (NEC), a body cpmposed
of elected officers of the onganiza-
tion only.

This means that Bryn Mawr cast
no vote regarding the Soviet testing
resolution.

City College Protest

To the Editor:

Upon reading the News’ article on
the abolishment of the Physica] Ed-
-aeation requirement at Radcliffe, we
realized with pleasure that a new
policy has been adopted: thé News
has decided to report important
events at other colleges. In accord-
nace with this new policy we would
like to bring to the attention of
the News an event which has ap-
parently been overlooked. We real-
ize that it is of minor importance
compared ‘with the abolishment of
the Physical Education requirement
at Radcliffe, but we do feel that it
is worthy of some mention.

On October 26, the Administrative
Council of the University of the City
of New York (which includes Brook-
lyn, City, Community, Hunter, and
Queens Colleges) announced that no
known member of the Communist

|Party would be allowed to speak on

any of its campuses. This was a re-
action to an invitation extended to



Benjamin Davis, Secretary of the

Letters to the Editor -

States, to speak at Queens College.

The students of the City Univer-
sity protested the ruling at a campus
meeting on November 9. When the
Council’s decision was not reversed,
the protest continued: nearly a third
of the students at Hunter College
boycotted classes on the following
day.

The Council gave the following
justification for their ruling: the ad-
ministration of a university “is charg-
ed with maintaining the proper at-
mosphere for free inquiry . . . There
can be no assumption that a commit-
ment to free examination and discus-
sion relieves the professional staff of.
its duty to discriminate and choose
among the welter of ideas, positions,
convictions, facts, and theories which
present themselves for consideration.”

This appears to be a contradictory
statement. If the administration is
truly interested in the free examin-
ation of ideas, why does it suppress
organized discussion of the most con-
troversial issues of our time? Why
did it give no reason for its refusal
to allow a representative from the
National Review and Malcolm X, a
representative of the Black Muslim
Movement to speak on campus?

A university, by its very nature,
is obligated to give the student every
opportunity to explore new ideas. As
indicated by its recent ruling, the
University of the City of New York
is not meeting its responsibility in
that respect. But there is a more
serious consequence: the University
is suppressing academic freedom.

We are in accord with the recent
New York Times’ editorial about this
isue which stated that “once freedom
begins™to be cut down, erosion be-
emoes uncontrollable.” As students
and citizens, we must actively sup-
port the students of the University
of the City of New York in their de-
fense of academic freedom,

Questions NEWS’
Policy

To the Editor:
Since when does a reporter for a





‘newspaper editorialize his reports?
Since when does a reporter empha-
size his own opinions at the distor-
tion and even omission of those of
the speaker? Isn’t objectivity in re-
porting the news one of the aims of
a newspaper? Perhaps, the News
will say that the report on Edward
Nash’s talk entitled “The Tide Has
Turned” is a review and that it has a
right to be subjective (especially
when the reporter has a by-line), but
then, why didn’t the News give sim-
ilar subjective treatment to the other
speakers on campus last week? Is
the “report” on Mr. Nash’s talk an
exception only because the reporter
obviously disagrees with him?

First, let us look at the reporter’s
choice of vocabulary. For instance,
when the reporter speaks of the prin-
ciple of “equal: educational rights”
versus Nash’s principle of “non-in-
tervention,” she terms the former a
so-called “higher principle’ and the
latter a “dogmatic principle.” Isn’t
this unwarranted subjectivity in her
choice of adjectives?

Second, let us examine the contents
of one of our reportet’s paragraphs.
I quote: “Some consider as immoral
the existence of the millions of starv-
ing human beings in the world to-
day. Isn’t ‘someone’ morally respon-
sible for their welfare ?-—Isn’t-that
‘someone’ a government—represent-
ing the people? Nash, however,
claims that government intervention
is “immoral.” Isn’t the News being
unfair to Mr. Nash just in the matter
of length; that is, three sentences are-
used to voice the views of the opposi-
tion and only one to voice those of ,
Mr. Nash? Whom is the News cov-
ering: Mr. Nash or his adversaries?
Granted that there was a discussion,
and that it is fair to present both
sides, but not to the virtual exclusion
and/or minimizing of one. As for
those two rhetorical questions, it is
unjust to ask them without also giv-
ing Mr. Na answers, especially if

AIESEC Leader
Outlines Function
Of Trade System

by Jane Tanner

President, Bryn Mawr AIESEC

The international AIESEC pro-
gram was established in Europe -in
1948 by student representatives from

twelve universities in seven countries.
There are currently AIESEC organi-
zations on 230 college campuses in
Europe, Africa, and: North and South

America. AIESEC-U, S., the

United States affiliate of the in-
ternational organization, was es-
tablished in 1956, and it is compos-
ed of the Executive Secretary, the
National Committee, Regional Direc-
torates and Full and Probationary
Member Local Committees. Each
year, all the local committees get to-
gether for a national conference, held
last year in Philadelphia, to decide
upon general policy questions ‘and to
elect the Executive Secretary, the
National Committee and the Region-
al Directors. Three weeks later, the
International Congress, composed of
delegates from all participating coun-
tries, meets, this year in Berlin, to
exchange all jobs for the following
year,

Consolidation

AIESEC-Bryn Mawr, a full mem-
ber of AIESEC-U, S. as of last
March, began operations in 1959. We
worked on our own for two years,
arranging for Bryn Mawr girls to
work in Europe during the summer
and obtaining, jobs for foreign stu-
dents to work in the Philadelphia
area. Last March, at the National
Conference, a plan for a Philadelphia
AIESEC Committee, composed of the
Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and the
Wharton School Local Committees
was adopted. Consolidation for prox-
imate AIESEC local committees has
many advantages, especially on the
very important financial side. Con-
solidation also prevents the often dis-
astrous duplication by Bryn Mawr,
Haverford, and Wharton committees
of job contracts here in the Phila-
delphia area. It eliminates senseless
inter-school competition,

Flexibility

The plan for the Philadelphia
AIESEC Committee leaves the three
member schools quite a bit of flexi-
bility in planning their own programs.
Each school has representatives on
each slediniuativa committee,
through whom the chairmen of each
committee may work. At the Na-
tional Conference, the three schools
break up again into three separate
local committees, voting individually.
Last year the Philadelphia branch
of AIESEC arranged for thirty for-
eign business students to work with
nineteen firms in Philadelphia, in re-
turn for which thirty-five students
from Bryn Mawr, Haverford and
Wharton ‘worked abroad. This year
we hope to provide fifty traineeships
in the Philadelphia area for foreign
business students.

AIESEC is a completely student-
run organization. Working for it
has been very rewarding and enjoy-
able for many of us. We can certain-
‘ly put anyone to work who may be
interested in helping us.

Pacifist Pauling, Mazey of UAW
Speak on Disarmament, Survival

by Brooks Robards

Emil Mazey, Secretary-Treasurer
of the United Automobile Workers
of America and Dr. Linus Pauling,
noted chemist and pacifist, spoke in
Philadelphia on November 8 at a
peace meeting on Disarmament and
Survival. The meeting, held in-the
auditorium of the Philadelphia
YMCA, was sponsored by the Amer-
ican Friends Seryice Committee, the
Philadelphia Council for a Sane Nu-
clear Policy, and the Women’s Inter-
national League for Peace and Free-
dom.

Mr. Mazey, who spoke first, direct-
ed his talk to the worker and union
member of America, attempting to
present a method by which the ordin-
ary citizen can work toward bringing
about a “sane nuclear” policy. He
opposed any resumption of nuclear

testing by the United States, but did.

not offer any denunciation of the
Russian resumption of testing.

He went on to advocate U. S. rec-
ognition of a divided Germany and
justified Russian behavior in Berlin
by saying that the Russians had suf-
fered considerable damage by Ger-
man attack in World War II and
therefore had an understandable fear
of a United Germany. He also held
the view that Germany should not
be rearmed. Mazey spoke in plain,
often awkward language which rath-
er than attempting to be an intellec-
tual persuasion, was directed at emo-
tional stimulation of the average in-
engy: , - eS 4

Dr..Pauling’s 5 “was not di-



rected so specifically to the worker,
but instead dwelt on the nature of an
atomic bomb and nuclear explosions.
Dr. Pauling held that the extent of
a nuclear explosion was five times
greater than estimates given to the
public. He projected this idea into
terms of- how many more people
would be killed or injured and how
many more disfigured children would
be born as a result of subsequent gene
mutations.

He told of the letter which he had
received from Premier Khrushchev
after he had sent a protest to the So-
viet government for its resumption of
nuclear testing. While holding the
view that there must be either total
disarmament or total destruction, he
pointed out that previous to Soviet
resumption of testing, the United
States had exploded a great many
more bombs than had the Russians
(with the resumption of testing, the
Russians have come ahead).

In generai, the reporter noted an
air of suspicion and uneasiness in
the audience. People were continu- |

Unable to repress naive curiosity,
we visited the comparative psychol-
ogy lab on the third floor of Dalton
last week. (This laboratory deals
with animals; other experiments are
carried on on people.) Since we are
incapable of comprehending both the
deep psychological import and the!

simple scientific procedure of the
workings|,of the laboratory, this_ re-
port “will concentrate on the sights
observed by ordinary people. Words .
such as “cynomolgus,” “frontal lobo-
tomy,” “Tilapia macrocephalus” and
“phyletic generality” will not be used.

We first visited the primate wing,
which sounded like a nursery of
whimpering children. . There were
myriads of monkeys in identical cag- -
es, swinging from side to side and
gazing out at the visitors with large
hazel eyes. In thesnursery were a
group of Rhesus monkeys who had
undergone frontal lobectomies to en-
able the psychologists to study the
effect of certain brain lesions on tac-
tile discrimination. Through the
monkey room was an antiseptic sur-
gical ward, complete with operating
table, overhead lamp, and _ instru-
ments.

Various Subjects

Then there was a room full of cock-
roaches which were undergoing maze
studies to test discrimination and re-
versals. The cockroaches are put
into black boxes and various lights
are turned on and buttons pushed
(there is an impressive instrument
panel littered with dials and levers
like the ones in New Yorker car-
toons.) The cockroaches are fed on
apples, which lends \a rather Kaf-
kaesque air.

Another room was crawling with
worms. Actually they were in jars of:
wet earth, in a refrigerator covered
with a dark cloth, to suggest a com-
fortable home away from home. In
their experiment the worms were put
into simple T mazes. A hot light dries
out their skin and forces them to
move to the “choice point”—where
they have to decide whether to turn
in the direction of home or in the di-

reetion-of-a-nasty-electric shock.

In the fish room were all sorts of
interesting species. We couldn't
quite follow the explanation of what
they were undergoing, but undoubt-
edly it had something to do with
testing their ability to learn a varied
set of simple problems. One tank
was full of fish called African mouth
breeders, Apparently the male of
this species has been known to eat
his own kind, so he was isolated from
the rest. There was another type of
fish which turned dark blue when
frightened. ;

Since rats seem to be the basis of
so much in comparative psychology,
the rats were ably represented. Red-
eyed albino rats whose cerebral cor-
texes had been removed when they
were very young, were being tested
for learning ability. There were va-
rious runways and Y mazes which
had goodies at one end and frustra-
tion at the other.

Real Life

In another room were pigeons with |
clipped wings. The pigeons are put
into large picnic coolers (with pro-
visions for easy cleaning). The pig-
ens have to discriminate between dif-
ferent colored lights by pecking vari-
ous keys.

In experiencing something like this
comparative laboratory, we had mix-
ed feelings. First, we were relieved
we were human beings and thus not
subjected to mazes and runways (at
least not in a laboratory—in the vi-
cissitides of life, yes). We were
also glad that some super-human

Although there was applause at sig-
nificant points in the two speeches
of the nature of a “spontaneous ap-
proval,” it seemed mechanical and
prompted by a few. The speakers
did not seem to make any resolute
points concerning disarmament and
survival (except to advocate disarma-
ment), but rather used the meeting

and how it was studied. We realized,

sound to work with cockroaches, at

“Humor is ae tional chaos,
remembered in tranquillity’—
James Thurber

by Pauline Dubkin

As everyone well knows, most. of
the hall switchboards in this grand
institution now stay open until 12:30,
operated by students, pressured in
one subtle way or another to work
them one or two evenings a semester.
Because of this development, the life
and limb of this writer are now en-
dangered; in fact, about eight people
are out to do her in,-and.are at this
very moment, I suspect, in their

_ rooms busily devising instruments of

torture for her.

I suppose it’s my own fault in
some measure at least. In about
fifth grade a teacher told me that
I was sub-normal in mechanical abil-
ity, and I almost didn’t get into Bryn
Mawr in the first place because of
my history-making low score on the
part of the aptitude tests dealing
with math and “spatial relations,”
and since, then I have religiously
avoided anything smacking of me-
chanics, math, or manual dexterity;
but somehow I signed up to work
the switchboard one evening. (Actu-
ally, I was overcome by guilt feel-
ings about sneaking into the Deanery
unescorted, and thought this might
be an easy way to expiate them.)
Happily, confidently, armed. with cof-
fee, cigarettes, and some light read--
ing (The Critique of Pure Reason, I
think it was) I settled down at the
switchboard, looking forward to an
evening of reading and relaxing and
occasionally flicking a switch and
thereby participating in the “miracle
of communication” the people in the
Bell Telephone ads are always talk-
ing about.

But soon enough one of them ap-
peared to me in the heretofore harm-
less; even joyously welcomed, form
of a long distance call. How blithe-
ly I made the connection, with. what
delight heard the recipient’s cheerful
“What the hell do you want, Ma?”

___But-soon, fromthe depths of the In-

ferno, rio doubt, came a severe. test:
two more phone calls. I panicked,
threw switches in every direction...
more and more calls came in... All
at once I was surrounded by. a raging
sea of people who were once my
friends . . . In one ear I heard “He
thinks. I hung up on him—you’ve
wrecked my romance—my life!”, in
the other “At least you:could have
cut me off when my mother was nag-
ging me!” How are the mighty fall-
en! : bis

And so it went all evening. No
sooner had I reunited lovers and re-
stored waywatd children to their pa-
rents than it started all over again:
buzz buzz... “Hello, Rhoads Hall”
... “May I speak to... ” “I think
I was cut off and I...” “May I
please speak to... ” Youcutmeoff

of my hysteria, thought I had per-
haps mistakenly connected Kennedy
and Khrushchev or Harvard and
Yale together.

And now, one week later, all is
far from tranquil. True, I have stop-
ped sneaking into the Deanery un-
escorted; I have bought a goodly
supply of tranquilizers to take when-
ever I am around a phone or buzzer;
I have also lost at least half of my
friends. And I am left with the firm
conviction that my own paftieular
hell will consist not in devouring
flames or in a locked hotel room, but
in an enormous switchboard, con-
stantly buzzing, with only me to
work it. I have had a vision of my
doom.

Malraux
Continued from Page 1, Col. 3

raux is to act. He was himself a man
of action, fighting successively in
Indo-China, Spain, and in the French

‘Resistance.

Malraux distinguishes three levels
of action. First, action as adventure:
as a distraction. One is distracted
from pessimistic, metaphysical ideas,
and one arrives at “un sentiment de
délivrance’— the sort of dizziness
that comes from flirting with death.

Second, there is “revolutionary”
action: action that has for goal the
improvement of the human condition
—in order that a sense of human
dignity be extended to all men. Until
all men can look each other in the
eye without cringing—without un-
easiness—until then will revolution-
ary action be warranted.

Finally, man acts because it is only
through action that man fulfills and

un etre qui doit se dépasser pour
etre.” Unlike animals, man is free.
He has the possibility of choosing.
Man can and must create his own
future, This, according to Canu, is
the credo of our times. _

Therein lies the originality of West-
ern man: he fights back. He will not
submit to his condition. He never
ceases to try to crash the barriers
... to be free. He never ceases to
reach beyond himself . . . to create.
There are two men of action that
emerge from Malraux’s novels: the
hero and the artist. It is the latter,
however, who merits the greater .es-
teem in Malraux’s eyes. He need sac-
rifice none of his freedom to a higher
cause. His work is neither limited
by time nor place.

Canu concluded his discussion by
asserting that Malraux’s answer to
the human dilemma is in line with
the-traditional Western view. Man
is only man when he is master of
himself, It is up to man to create
meaning in this meaningless world.

Freedom of the Press

he gave such. Mr. Nash did not just
say that “government intervention is
immoral.” Rather he said that he
believed that individual freedom is
more important than government re-
sponsibility to the starving masses
of the world; that this “responsibility”
entails forced charity from the citi-
zens, and that this is a destruction
of the individual’s freedom from un-
necessary. intervention.

Again, let us look at a paragraph
where the reporter has omitted an
important part of Mr. Nash’s answer
om the right of the New York City
colleges to deny William Buckley and
Benjamin Davis to speak on their
premises. Instead, the News states
Mr. Nash’s question: “Would you let
Goebbels . . . or Hitler . . . speak in
your home?” Of course, this ques-
tion gives the reporter the chance to
comment that “a chorus of ‘Yeses’
was the response,” which, by the
way, is quite a hyperbole. The News
completely omits the actual reasons
behind these decisions; that the di-
rectors of the colleges, as representa-
tives of the owners, who in turn are
the public, felt that the public did not
want these men to speak. One is not
forced to invite a Hitler into one’s
home. Has the reporter really re-
ported the most important of Mr.
Nash’s comments, or just what will
help her own point of view?

These are a few examples of dis-
torted reporting; there are others
in this aritcle. Would the News
please be more careful in the future;
then, they would not need to hide be-
hind a by-line.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Reed

but basic values require reassertion. |.

A Bryn Mawr-Haverford organiza-
tion which was founded only last
spring is fast becoming one of the
more active groups on campus. The
Student. Peace Union has staged
three separate demonstrations in con-
nection with international peace and
cessation of nuclear testing during
the past month.

On November 1, members of the
SPU picketed Snellenberg’s depart-
ment store in Philadelphia because
the store was selling orders for fall-
out shelters. They succeeded in hav-
ing-jthe store management turn
around the signs which advertised the
sale to the public. ,

The members of SPU Object to
fallout shelters for several reasons.
First, they believe that, especially in
the city, such shelters do not work
and, thus, their presence builds up a
false confidence about. our invulnera-
bility against Soviet attack. Such an
unwarranted confidence will lessen
the horror of nuclear warfare and
prevent real effort towards peace,
they: contend. Also, many of the
members feel that the fallout shelter
system is definitely immoral because
it discriminates against the poorer
people; such people often lack the
money.and room to. build and main-
tain the shelters; thus, the Civil De-
fense program says, in essence, “Let
the poor die.”

SPU is also strongly in: favor of
cessation of nuclear testing and gen-
eral disarmament. Some of the mem-

bers advocate unilateral disarmament
for the United States; perhaps. more
are in favor of. “unilateral initiative.”
Under. the system of unilateral. initia-
tive, the United States: would: begin,
disarming’ in gradual stages and -ex-
‘pect. the USSR to eventually follow
suit, This plan could ‘conceivably
lessen the shock of immediate and
complete bilateral disarmament.

In connection with these beliefs,
the SPU protested Russian nuclear
testing at the Philadelphia city hall
on November 4, At that time, they
also urged the United States not to
resume atmospheric testing and ask-
ed people to write their respective
Congressmen to protest such testing.
On November 11, they carried out a
similar demonstration—a “poster pa-
rade”’—at the Haverford shopping
center. This demonstration was or-
ganized to reach the Main Line com-
munity, which is often neglected in
favor of Philadelphia in these activi-
ties.

SPU members feel, however, that
they will soon begin to stagé fewer
demonstrations and, instead, conduct
discussions. Since the group is so
new—not only on these campuses but
also all over the country—they feel
they must have time to discuss and
consolidate their beliefs. They hope
to attract more students to these dis-
cussions, including those students who
are interested in the-peace movement,
but who are not necessarily clear on
all their beliefs.



only rarely found ‘as peers or super-
iors. A community in which level
of service can be predicted by skin
color is an anachronism—and it re-
stricts our freedom to think without
prejudice. The opportunity to develop
unbiased attitudes is small in the
present campus community.

Second, and more important, is the
moral wrong we all commit by not
striving to achieve an _ integrated
community, while we call ourselves
“modern” and “liberal” and take
eredit for our lack of prejudice. It
is. not enough merely to set no ob-
stacles in the way of qualified Ne-
gro applicants for “non-menial jobs
or admission as students. It is ‘not
enough to be only intellectually com-
mitted to the “right ideals” while
the wrong reality continues to exist.

An integrated community could be
developed if administration, faculty,
students, staff and alumnae take the
responsibility for achieving it, These
are some of our ideas about what ac-
tion might be effective in acquaint-
ing ourselves with these problems
and committing ourselves to their
solution.

1. Perhaps a first step would be
for Bryn Mawr to share its campus



in an exchange of student visits with

Negro colleges, during which the
problems: of achieving an integrated
community could be mutually explor-
ed.

2. In order to encourage qualified
Negro students to apply to Bryn
Mawr, alumnae and students could
share the responsibility of describ-
ing Bryn Mawr to girls least likely
to have alumnae mothers or receive
adequate guidance counselling in their
high schools.

8. An unintegrated and unconcern-
ed campus may not be particularly
attractive to Negro applicants on
either the faculty or student. level.
The practical and human problems of
integration are complex, as_ those
members of the administration, fac-
ulty and student body who’ concern
themselves with this problem well
know. A student-faculty-administra-
tion committee could be established
to initiate discussion of these prob-
lems arid to exchange- ideas about
new possibilities for action on. all
three levels. Once the initial step
toward integration ‘is made, it is like-
ly that additional qualified Negroes.
would apply at staff, student and

Energetic Director Butman Oversees Lckock Speaks

Student Efforts in ‘Venus Observed

by Constance Rosenblum *

On a typical weekday evening,
when less creative students are apt to
be buried in books or a bridge game,
members of BMC Theatre and Haver-
ford Drama Club, with director Rob-
ert Butman, are working frantically
to‘ready Christopher Fry’s Venus Ob-
served for presentation Friday and
Saturday nights, November 17 and

Although Roberts Hall, on a re-
hearsal nighty-usually contains vari-
ous stray actors, perhaps a lightsman
curled up center-front of the stage,
and some curious students, it is the
director who sets the whole tone of
the evening. The actor-director re-
lationship is surprisingly casual; it
simply isn’t conceivable that anyone
would dare refer to Robert Butman
as anything but Bob.

However, this familiarity in no
way detracts from the actual work
of rehearsing. Although by last week
much of the play was memorized,
time and time again the director
would interrupt a speech with his
staccato commands:

“Project! Excellent!! Now do it
again!

“Be eminently clear and powerful!
Get your consonants all clear and
separate!

“That was getting so close to good
we have to do it again!

“Let your body express your re-
laxing!

“Don’t be unhappy! You’re doing
splendidly!”

Nothing escapes him. A scene will
seem to be going along remarkably
well, when he suddenly leaps up on
the stage, to explain and correct an
almost imperceptible drop in pitch in
a scene.

There is coristant repetition; Bob
has no qualms about repeating a
scene, a line, or a word eight or ten
times, if that will enable him to
achieve the exact effect he’s striving
for.

So many fine points, which make
the difference between an average
college theater production and a more
professional one are brought out and
emphasized in the rehearsal stage.
The varied rhythms of the different
characters, pacing (hopefully brisk),

pick-ups (hopefully quick), clear en-

unciation as well as subtlety of in-
terpretation (both of which are com-
patible, Bob believes), delicate bal-
ancing of the sounds of words, sure-
ness and ¢larity of behavior (or not
wandering randomly about the stage
at inopportune moments)—all these
factors may escape the audience, but

- are essential to the quality of the

play.

* The director keeps the pace of the
rehearsal itself moving, in order not
to lose the “sense” of a scene and
keeps his actors in character when-
ever they are on stage; a long speech
by the Duke is no excuse for the oth-

ers to drop out of character “just for |-

a moment.”

by (Perpetua); Kasha Gula (Hilda);
Nina Sutherland (Jessie); and Wen-
dy Westbrook (Rosabell). Assistant

director is Alice Davison. :

Also. hectically busy during the
past’ month were the various crews
for the play. Bound together by a
mutual distrust’ of actors (who have
unavoidable tendencies to trip over
light wires, jump on fragile patforms,
rip costumes and smear skillfully ap-
plied make-up), they have been con-
centrating on every aspect of the

play except the acting. Heading the

production committees from Bryn
Mawr are: Stage, Sue Travis; Lights,
Peggy Jones; Props, Micky Reuchlin
and Silvine Marbury; Make-up, Mary
Ann Mindor; Costumes, Lanny Pep-
per; Publicity, Terri Rodgers.

The play itself, blithely referred to
as an autumnal farce, deals with the
effects of telescopes, temples of An-
cient Virtues, and mythology on a
number of unusual individuals.

Rightests of Area

Four representatives from Bryn
Mawr attended a meeting for mem-
bers ‘of collegiate conservative clubs
at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel on
November 11. The meeting, conduct-
éd by Robert Luckock, Field Direc-
tor of ISI (Intercollegiate Society of
Individualists), consisted of repre-
sentatives from Villanova, Drexel, the

University of Pennsylvania, Temple,
and Rutgers of South New Jersey as
well as from Bryn Mawr.

The meeting, designed to promote
the consolidation of various conser-
vative clubs of colleges throughout
the Philadelphia area, treated three
main topics: the formation of a city

Analysis, and the immediate plans of
the different groups in order to enable
concerted, unified effort.

The group next considered the role
of Analysis, a conservative journal
now published by the Eleutherian So-
city of the University of Pennsylva-
nia. Because it will, the group hopes,
become a leading publication#for col-
legiate conservatism throughout the
country, it needs to expand its cover-
age. The decision reached was that

two possible causes of this “strange”
maternal behavior: one, the mother-
lessness of the monkey or ‘two,-: its
inability to form normal play: rela-
tionships: Further experiments may
enable the unraveling of this problem.
At any rate these experiments do
seem to indicate that maternal affec-
tion is more related to experience



than previously thought.

Dr. Harlow reminded the audience
that human-cultural determinants are
lacking in these experiments; never-

theless, certain conclusions do seem
applicable to human beings. All this
inconstably proves Dr. Harlow’s point
that the poetic notion of motherly
love as sweet, good and endearing is
far from true; on the contrary it is
a very complex and difficult relation-
ship.

It has been argued that to seek out
an individual because of his skin col-
or is as morally. wrong as rejecting
him, and that consciously working
for an integrated community is prej-
udice in reverse. But that point is
better made, after the opportunity to
be unprejudiced is available, Such
opportunity has to be created by an
active effort on campus. It seems to
us better.for social change to be pro-
vided by the reaching out of an .in-
group rather than only by the break-
ing in of an out-group.

Concert Review
Continued from Page 1

ceste” followed by Six Dances from
“La Rosiere Republicaine” by Andre
Gretry opened the concert. The ser-
ious, somber Gluck work contrasted
interestingly with the gay, foot-tap-
vacity of the various dances.
The latter, though not Great Music,
were delightful and the kind of sel-
dom-heard work which this orchestra
can do so very well.

The highlight of the evening was
Paisiello’s Concerto for Orchestra and
Pianoforte with David Hemmingway
as soloist. The pianist’s subtle,expres-
sive power, firm touch, and flawless
technique were ideally suited to the
work. His cadenzas were executed
with rerfiarkable purity and brilliance.
The orchestra sometimes seemed to
overshadow the soloist, but Mr. Hem-
ingway’s power without overuse of
dynamics was always sufficient to
emphasize his part. _

Vivaldi’s Concerto~Grosso in D
Minor ‘featured Barbara Dancis and
Stephen Kasser, violins, and Steven
Flanders, ’cello, with John Roberts

iat the piano. ‘The three solo strings

interwove and answered each other



with clarity and power. This was a
very fine performance indeed.

Folk Song Suite by Vaughan Wil-
liamsrousingly concluded the eve-
ning’s concert. This medley of Eng-
lish airs was both lyrical and mar-
tial, always appealing. Its sprightly
strains would have been appreciated
as, an encore to an excellent concert.

refugee students.

MANDATE: ge

Believing that the arrest and imprison-
ment of Algerian~students for actions
consonant with their role as students is
a flagrant violation of the international
code of student rights, the 14th National
Student Congress mandates the Interna-
tional Affairs Vice-President to urge the
French government for the immediate re-
lease of these students and to bring this
violation to the attention of the United
States’ government with a view toward
presentation at the forthcoming United
Nations debate,

The 14th National Student Congress
strongly supports UGEMA in its efforts to
protect the academic freedoms and im-
prove the condition of the Algerian
refugee students. The Congress endorses
UGEMA’s current work in combatting
illiteracy among refugees and mandates
the IAVP to develop a program of
assistance to further this campaign.

“ea





The 14th National Student Congress
mandates the IAVP to express USNSA‘s
hope to the proper U.S., French and
Algerian authorities that France and Al-
geria’ will take all possible measures to
promote Algerian self-determination, and
that the United States will take a stronger
stand than it has in the past in support-
ing that self-determination. A letter to
this effect will be sent to the United
States Department of the State.

The 14th National Student Congress
further mandates the IAVP to send

copies of this resolution to the French
Minister of Education,.to UGEMA, and to
the Algerian provisional government. of
the. Republic of Algeria. | ;
