President Explains_Nat’l

President McBride in her lec-;
ture, Education, A New Frontier,
discussed the program for Federal
aid to Education, and revealed
“hidden reefs” in its structure. The
tenets of the bill as printed below
in the New York Times concern a
5.6 billion dollar plan with three
principal proposals:

(1) A three-year program to provide
$2.3 billion in grants to states for public
elementary and secondary school educa-
tion, The money could be used for con-
struction or teachers’ salaries or both.

(2) A_ five-year program to provide
$2.7 billion in loans to colleges for con-
struction. About half the loans would
be for academic facilities and the rest
for housing.

(3) A five-year program to provide
$576 million in grants for college schol-
arships. The states would award the
scholarships on a basis of academic abil-
ity and financial need; the maximum
award would be $1000 a year.

President McBride discussed in

- detail the housing program, the

revision and extension of the Na-
tional Defense Act and the schol-
arship program. She found definite
advantages in these ” proposals.
‘However, President McBride also
found four difficulties which she
termed “reefs.”

The first _problem in the schol-
arship program concerned religion
and the constitutional right to
give Federal air solely to public
schools and not to parochial and
private schools, The second prob-
lem is the problem of race, Should
segregated schools be given Fed-
eral aid in spite of the Hannah
Committee’s statement that segre-
gated schools could not. receive
aid?

The two problems of race and
religion ‘were “‘reefs” in that they
were evident difficulties. The two
other problems seen by President
‘McBride in the National Defense
Education Act are, she feels, less
noted at present. The third “reef”

Public Responds
With Great Vigor
To Youth Abroad

' Tmmediately on the heels of the
News’s March 1 editorial entitled
Proposal”
came an Executive Order from
President Kennedy formally estab-
lishing the agency with R, Sargent
Shriver as director. The Presi-
dent’s description of the Peace
Corps answered many of the ques-
tions posed ‘by the News, and
agreed with us that selection must
be painstaking, that training must
be thorough and include study of
language and customs, and that
non-college graduates have a place
in the program,

On March 6 The New York Times



mF reported in an article on youth re-

action to the program that six
Bryn Mawrters had already offer-
ed to volunteer for the program.
The Times included a quotation of
cautious enthusiasm from the
News’s editorial.

Reaction at colleges and univer-
sities throughout the United States
has been enthusiastic, and has led
the National Student Association
to plan a National Conference on
Youth Service Abroad, to be held
March 28 through 31 in Washing-

“ton, D. C., with the American” Uni-

versity as host’ Says James C.
Scott, International Affairs Vice

- Education Aid Proposals

is the possible inadequacy of the
program itself. Even if the prob-
lems of race and religion are re-
solved, the ultimate adequacy of
the program still remains to be
tested. With certain adjustments,
the program may work success-

fully. It has been termed “not a
erash program, but a cautious
start.”

The fourth difficulty seen by
President McBride is the question
of freedom from federal control.
In former years many colleges and
schools were wary of federal grants
for improving teachers’ salaries;
they have always looked to the
government for research and build-
ing grants because these are rel-
atively ffee of any danger of con-
trol. With the grants. for research
and building, the government could
posibly gain a certain degree of
control over education. Is this
legitimate? Would the government
instead understand what the needs
of the colleges are wtih regard to
the nation? ‘Will the government
ever truly understand the fears of
the educaional community ?

[President McBride ended by say-
ing that the mounting needs for
higher education financing can not
‘be met without some sort of fed-
eral aid, Perhaps with a close
understanding between educator
and (Congress, these needs could be
met with benefits for all concerned.

The Woodrow Wilson National
Fellowship Foundation named Mon-
day 1,383 students from 381 col-
leges and universities in the Unit-
ed States and Canada as Woodrow
Wilson Fellows for 1961-62, the
largest number ever elected by the
Foundation in its 15-year search
for prospective college teachers.
Eleven Bryn Mawr seniors were
named; Elizabeth Anagnostakis
(Classics); Robin Berman (Slavic
Languages); Nancy Beyer (His-
tory); Karen Black (Linguistics) ;
Grace Booth (History); Melinda
Flory (Physics); Jean Hebb (Phys-
ics); Elizabeth Levering (Political
Science); Jane Parry (English);
Lois Potter (English); and Kath-
erine Tiernan (Russian Studies).

The fellowships cover the first
year of graduate study and are
meant to encourage newly-elected
fellows to consider college teach-
ing as a possible career. Nomina-
tions for these highly-competitive
awards are made by the students’
professors. Screening of the can-
didates is done by fifteen regional
committees drawn from the aca-
demic profession.

Winners were chosen from 10,453
nominees, representing a twenty-
one per cent increase over last
year and a five-fold increase since
the program was expanded in 1957
by a $24,500,000 grant from the
Ford Foundation. More than twen-
ty-three fields of study, nearly all
in the humanities and social sci-
ences, are represented by this
year’s winners. Those in mathe-
matics and natural sciences repre-
sent 15.9 per cent of the total, The
winners, of whom 28.2 per cent are
women, will be enrolled in ninety
different graduate schools in this
country and Canada. ?

we were ‘digged.” On March 14,
1661, the last of four Quakers was
killed in Boston,” Mr. Cadbury
commented. “That, however,” he
said,. “didn’t scare me off.”

iMr, Cadbury stated that Quaker-
ism was born in a period of relig-
ious ferment, caused by a new
translation of the Bible. The found-
ers of Quakerism deploring theo-
logical hair-splitting, and feeling
that religion should “be a first
hand -experience,” at this time
broke off from the Church of Eng-
land, “God for them was in direct
contact with man,” Mr, Cadbury
said. -In order to come into closer
contact with. God,- Quakers aban-
doned all creeds, clergy, liturgy,
and ecclesiastical trappings. This
unorthodoxy soon spread to social
customs. The Quakers, whose “ra-
tivity was in negativity” opposed
all bowing, scraping, oath-taking,,
war-making, slavery, cruel treat-
ment of criminals and the’ insane,
use of the state to enforce’ relig-
jous practice, and the inferior po-
sition of women.

Quakers were unique in that
their negativity was: “the by-pro-
duct” of a positive commitment.

Israeli Policy in
Nazi Case ‘Bad’,
Lecturer Declares

“The Rule of Law and Adolph

ture given by Miss Gertrude C. K.

Department, on March 18 in the
Common Room, In her talk, spon-
sored by Current Events, Miss

Eichmann who was kidnapped last
May in Argentina by volunteer
Israelis to stand trial this April
for Nazi war crimes in which he
was involved during the Second
World War. Concerned with the
legal aspect of his case, Miss
Leighton spoke on the idea of the
rule of law, both domestic and
continental, as well as internation-
al, and the relation of that rule to
the action which Israe] has under-
taken in her attempt to prosecute
the former exterminator of Ger-
man nationals, . ,

crimes and crimes against human-
ity. Although he was not among
the twenty-two major defendants
prosecuted at Nuremberg, he was
tried later during the period of

way of Egypt, Eichmann was still
presumably high on the list of
those sought by the Central Office

Congratulations and Thanks

The volngeafedliningne <>< —--oarineard and Sue Johnson
and Barbara Paul have been summoned to lead Self-Gov and
Undergrad respectively for the coming year. Our congrat-
ulations and best wi
wi e old, on with the new’, we pause to consider the fine,
competent work done in the past year by these organizations
and commend Carolyn Goldmark and Betsy Frantz for jobs
well done. | ncn aus ss |

Casting a slight shadow over these pleasant feelings of
satisfaction is the unalterable fact that in an election only
one person can win, and three, in each case here, must lose.
They deserve commendation for their courage and qualifica-
tions: Faith Halfter, Ruta Krastina, and Abby Wootton for

. Self-Gov and Ellen Corcoran, Judy Samuelson, and Virginia

Sitz for Undergrad. We hope that both the winners and the
campus will remember that these people are notably qualified
to aid in the work that will be done in the new year. Our
horoscope predicts that ipso-facto-wise it should be a good
one.

Round One: Freshman Comp-Ageinst

Freshman Comp is a much talked-about, little written-
about subject. It is one of those horrifying experiences in
life that defy the art of the denfiitive-statement maker. It
is an experience that more than ninety-nine percent of the
students survive. ‘lhe problem of the course is that of its
value. Students survive the course, but do they profit from
it? If English 15 were to make each student as verbally
proficient as it intended, its value ond piace in the curriculum
could not be disputed, but it is widely teit among the students
that the course does not. acomplish this aim. Many reasons
for this dissatistaction have been put forth in varying de-
grees of blind fury, righteous indignation and conscientious
consideration. :

Every freshman class is comprised of students of. vary-
ing backgrounds, capabilities and experiences, due to the in-
creasing distinction in the curricula of secondary schools.
As products of “specialized” or progressive schools, fresh-
men may offer a primarily scientific background, a literary
one or a traditional liberal one. Bryn Mawr recognizes ad-
vanced placement in languages, history and more recently,
science and math, but only in extra-exceptional cases does
it acknowledge achivement in English. Hence an appreci-
able number of competent students feel that the current
Freshman Comp course is conducted on a level below theirs
and is “a pure waste of time;” they desire a second semester
exemption or an intensification of the program.

Second, there is a difference in those faculty members
who teach Freshman Comp; this difference is based on their
approach to the subject matter and their students. Some of
the instructors follow a conventional pattern in exposing the
young minds in their command to the subtleties of litera-
ture and composition; others try a more imaginative and in-
dividual approach, often with results even more doubtful
than usual. In the two class hours a week some emphasize
the current reading fare by lecturing, discussing or grilling;
others repeat once again the principles of. composition while
a third group holds forth on amorphous sociologica.

Lastly there is the attitude of the student as expressed
in the procedure of writing. One quick glance around any
dorm on the eve of a deadline is worth six tomes of inflamed
debate on the Freshman Comp situation. . Have class, con-
ference and past greetings of dawn only led once again to
another midnight hair-pulling, Kent-incensed search for the
topic sentence whom which all will flow swiftly and superbly
to a conclusive conclusion? Under such pain and pressure
how will anyone ever learn to write?

The disparities in the incoming students’ abilities and
in the instructors’ approaches to their course, the problem
of what exactly English 15 is and the almost overwhelming
dissatisfaction on the part of students with the course in its
present form seem to necessitate a serious consideration of
the course by the Curriculum Committee or a more effective

“demonstration by the sufferers.

Letter to the Editor
ete, yee ann adler
Dear Editor,
May some students write .con-
cerning Mrs. Carie Kirwan War-

Franzblau’s lecture as reported in
the College News? It is unfortun-
ate that Mrs. Warfield, an author
and pareht, was not present at
the lecture ‘given by Dr. Franz-
blau, M.D., psychiatrist, PhdD.,
Doctor of Divinity, author, and
parent, For had she been in at-
tendance she might have realized
that Dr. Franzblau was not con-
demning religion’s place in society.
Rather he was attempting to show
the different roles that psychiatry
and religion assume; but, that de-
spite the differences, they should
supplement each other in guidiig
the individual and helping him to
attain an enriched, well adjusted,
and adaptable life, i.e., a state of
emotional maturity.

It is also disconcerting to read
such unfounded generalities as:
“Psychiatry is a knife; religion is
a torch,” “The great fact is that
religion works and psychiatry does
not”.—On what grounds do you
base these statements?—on the
Crusades, the Thirty Years’ War,
the Nazi régime?—or on the ex-
periences of the thousands of peo-
ple who have had_ gratifying
psycho-therapy ?

Religion can help to open the
“Divine Door’(?), But psychia-
try can help us to understand what
is behind that door and why we
wanted to open it in the first place.

Sincerely,

Juliet Goodfriend 68

Ed. notes

The NEWS welcomes the
idea of controversial topics for
lectures and is glad to print
varying opinions on them. It
is especially important to ex-
pose ourselves to viewpoints
which seem strange and unten-
able to us: because we don’t
agree with them. The discus-
sion aroused by the Franzblau
lecture and Mrs. Warfield’s re-
ply is good in that it is discus-
sion—an exchange of opinion
on a subject of intellectual
merit.

Summer School,

Finds Job Evils -

The News has unearthed the
cause for recent surges in summer
school attendance. It has to do,
our report contends, with summer
employment, procedure for secur-
ing such and tthe such that is pro-
cured through procedure. Late last
spring we observed many eager

of college learning to practical
test. A.” biology student applied
for a job in a fishery (fish hatch-
ery). She received an application
for federal employment and dili-
gently answered their queries:
height without shoes, feet and
inches? one’s availability informa-
tion;. one’s «veteran preference;
“Are you a citizen of the United
Sittates of America or as a native
of American Samoa do you owe al-
legiance to the USA?”

“Are you now or have’ you ever
been a member of any foreign
or domestic organization, group,
movement, or combination of per-
sons which is totalitarian, Fascist,
Communist, or subversive, or which
has adopted, or shows, a policy
of advocating or approving the
commission of acts of force vor vi-
olence to deny any other persons
their rights under the Constitution
of the United States, or which
seeks to alter the form of gov-
ernment of the US by unconstitu-
tional means?” (Self-Gov, ipso
facto organizations, sounds pretty
sneaky.) Eligibility for fishery em-
ployment is decided on tthe basis
of facts. “Admitted unfavorable
information about such matters as
arrests or discharges will be con-
sidered together with the favor-
able information in your record in
determining your present fitness

structions for signing application:

Juniors Evaluate
College Education

‘Participating in the first annual
scholarship day. of the Bethel Afri-
can Mesthodist Episcopal Church
in Ardmore, juniors Marion Coen
and Pixie Schieffelin addressed the
congregation March 12 on “The
Values of Higher Education.”

Speaking extemporaneously, the
students discussed practical points
on college entrance and opportun-
ities for jobs after college, as well
as the general merits of a college
education. They emphasized the
values of meeting people from all
over the world and developing pre-
viously unsuspected talents and
interests. :

The scholarship day, sponsored
by a group of young people who
have raised funds to send members
of the congregation to college, fea-
tured a number of speakers, read-
ings. and musical renditions. The
Bryn Mawr students enjoyed the
social hour after the program-when
they were able to talk with the
other speakers, many of whom
were from Africa. :

‘Commenting on the program,
(Marion and Pixie said, “It was ex-
citing to be able to share our views

ance with many of the artists
whose works he will discuss, and
his own ‘art collection at his home
in the south of France is extensive.

Among his published works are
books on Juan Gris, Toulouse-Lau-
trec, Picasso, Van Gogh, Degas,
Fernand Leger, and, most recent-
ly, Graham Sutherland. Last spring
he gave an informal lecture here
on Picasso.

Essence of Cubism

In describing cubism, Mr. Coo-
per has said: “The essence of cub-
ist painting was distrust of ap-
- pearance and a renewed assertion
that the mind of.the artist was as
important as his eye. More sig-
nificant, however, was the rejec-
tion ‘of the notion that a picture
should be a mirror held up to Na-
ture and the putting into practise
of the new idea that a picture has
a reality of its own and exists
independently of but on equal
terms with the reality ‘which our
eye perceives. Such at any rate
is the basis of true cubism.”

Mr. Fowle related that Mr, Coo-
per is particularly important as a
scholar of cubism becaues of his
friendship with the artists them-
selves; others study cubism, but
not from the viewopint of one
who knows the artist as a person.

Mr. Cooper’s “focus” will be “on
the beginnings, and speedy growth
of cubism to its fulfillment, passing
on from there to consider many as-
pects of its influence outside of
France and up to 1

The topics for Mr. Cooper’s lec-
tures are: 1). Early ‘Cubism:
Whence? Whither? Why? Braque
and Picasso; 2) High Cubism:
Braque and Picasso; 3) The Paris
School; 4) Intellect versus Intui-

by shrieking Rosemont spectators.

years was connected with such
projects as the Henry Street Set-

In her later years, she was a
close companion for her brother
Bernard who lived in New York.
Impressed by the education that
his sister had received at Bryn
Mawr, Bernard Flixener establish-
ed in 1928 in honor of his sister
the now famous Mary Flexner
Lectures on the Humanities. The
two specifications which he made
concerning the lectures were that
they exclude pure science, mathe-

matics, and the social sciences, |

and that the lecturer “be in resi-

with the faculty and students.”

“The History of Ideas,” which was
incorporated into his book Adven-

Movement Ideas
For First Program

(Dance Club’s first concert in sev-

eral years will be given Monday,

March 20, at. 8:30. p.m. in Roberts
Hall, Haverford. The danger of
splinters on Goodhart’s stage in-
fluenced the dancers’ choice of
Roberts Hall. Twenty-six Bryn
Mawr girls and one Haverford stu-
dent will take part in the concert.
Mrs, Anne Carter Mason is the
director; the stage manager is Les-
lie Hartley.

The dancers themselves wrote all
the choreography for the first. half
of the program. Nicole Schupf
has choreographed a piece by Bar-
tok; Mina Jahan and Barbara Hein
have choreographed one of Stra-
vinsky’s works. The Double Octet
will provide the accompaniment for
both dances.

Several studies based on differ-
ent relations in form and dynam-
ics have grown out of work in
“movement conversation.” These
spontaneous dances, originally im-
provisations, were “captured” one
night for the concert.

Other numbers, ranging in va-
riety from modern ballet to panto-
mime, include a lyric couplet bas-
ed on Thornton Wilder’s play, Our
Town; a satiric dance pantomime,
“The Builder,” written by Mary
Johnson; and a jazz suite consist-
ing of three sharply contrasting
types of jazz. The last dance,
“Evolution of the Soul,” is an ex-
perimental rendition of symbolic
ideas.

Laura Neilson, president of
Dance Club, arranged an exchange
workshop demonstration with
Swarthmoré last fall. Dance Club
plans to invite dancers from sever-
al nearby colleges to another ex-
change workshop later in the
spring.

Speaker, Cadbury,
Maintains Custom
Of Tie with BMC

Henry Joel Cadbury who spoke
last night on “Quakerism” has long
been associated with Bryn Mawr
College. From 1926-1984 he was
Professor of Biblical Literature
here. In 1948, he succeeded his
brother-in-law, Rufus M. Jones, to
a seat on the Board of Directors
and since 1956 he has been chair-
man of the Board.

Became Professor

The Cadbury family, established
in Philadelphia since early in the
19th century, has developed a tra-
dition of sending their girls to
Bryn Mawr and their boys to Hav-
erford.

After receiving a Doctorate in
Philology from Harvard in 1014,
Mr .Cadbury taught at the West-
town School. He married Lydia
Caroline Brown, one of his for-
mer pupils and the daughter of the
principal of Westtown, (Mr, ‘Cad-
bury has taught Greek and Biblical
Literature at Haverford and Har-
vard (Andover) Divinity School.
He is at present Lecturer in Quak-
erism at Haverford. Mr. Cadbury
is considered one of the foremost
Biblical scholars in the country.

Among his many books are: The
Style and Literary Method of Luke
(1919), The Making of Luke— (1927), The Peril of Modernizing
Jesus (1987), Jesus: What Manner
of Man (1947), and The Book of
He also
collaborated in the translation of
the New Revised Standard Version
of the Bible.

AFSC. Work

A birthright Friend, Mr. Cad-
bury has worked on many projects
for the American Friends’ Service
Committee. During both World
Wars, he made trips abroad to help
alleviate the needs of civilians in
occupied areas. He served as
Chairman of the AFSC for a few
years in the twenties, and held
that post from 1944 until January
of this year when he was made
honorary chairman, In 1947 he ac-
cepted the Nobel Peace Prize on
behalf of the AFSC.

Then and. Now

The above data is gathered from
an interesting and warm biograph-
ieal sketch by Mary Hoxie Jones
which serves as dedication to the
book Then and Now, a series of
Quaker essays edited by Anna H.

casion of Henry Joel Cadbury’s
retirement from active chairman-
ship of the ASC. The name of

rainy season (from November to

| April) and which reduced all trans-

portation to shallow canoes until
the United States completed the
elevated Friendship Highway last
year. Chiengmai, on the other
hand, is Surrounded by low moun-
tains and hills covered by teak for-
ests and tea and opium plantations.
The people in central Thailand are
mainly farmers growing rice, sug-
ar cane and tapioca. Chiengmai
has many small industries which
are gradually being mechanized
and improved, The average cler-
ical-working woman in Bangkok
has her hair done every week in
the latest French style and has her

dressmaker copy patterns in Vogue
and Mademoiselle, while the aver- ”
age Chiengmai farm-woman has a
chopped, manish haircut, chews
beetlenut, wears a sarong and
dirty white blouse and goes bare-
foot.

I travelled to Chiengmai with an
American secretary from the Em-
bassy and a Thai secretary who
spoke excellent English, since he
had attended high school in the
United States -on a _ scholarship.
We went.by a Thai commercial
plane which was rather uncomfort-
able since the seats were built for
Thai twenty-seven inch hips, the
ceiling was only five feet high and
it was not air conditioned although
the temperature stays between 80°
and 110°F all year. It was quite
a change to go from Bangkok’s
fairly modern, partly air-condi-
tioned airport, whose runways reg-
ularly accommodate jets, to come
bumping down over the heads of
water buffalo onto a pasture with
only a radio tower at the side.
Sinee, a friend of Chris’s (short
for Chalounkwan) drove up to the
plane and took us to our new and
“modern” motel, that is to say, it
had cold running water for the
toilet which only worked half of
the time and for the shower but
not for drinking; three beds, a
table and one chair; two hooks for
hanging clothes; and screens and
shutters but no glass in the win-
dows.

The first three days: we spent
touring “factories” of six to twelve
people weaving the brilliantly-col-
ored Thai silk into dress or stole
lengths; pounding silver into bowls
and embossing them with scenes
from ancient Buddist tales; past-
ing and hand decorating paper um-
brellas at the rate of 120 per day
for a profit of 2%¢ each of $8 per
day; coating and decorating teak
bowls with lacquer, each dish tak-
ing 2% months for completion af-
ter the wood has cured from 15
days to 2 months.

The culmination of our trip was
the Chiengmai water festival which
celebrates the new year according
to the Thai religious calendar. For
several days the local farm dis-
tricts have parades, fireworks and
ceremonies at the temples. The
young girls enter a beauty contest,
and the winner and runners-up then

‘serve as salesgirls in the town’s

shops, so that everyone can enjoy
their beauty. But the real fun is
on the last two days when you say
“Happy New Year” by throwing
water on each other! What started
out as a genteel custom of pouring
perfumed water from a silver bowl
over a friend’s hands has developed
into a rip-roaring” free-for-all.
Tanks of water stand on the.

Seek Solution For Run-away

by Louise Weingarten, 62

On March 9 Mr. Paul Gesregan,
Supervisor of the Probation Dept.,
Juvenile Court, Delaware County,
Miss Elizabeth Robinson, District
Secretary of the Family Service of
Delaware County, and Miss Claire
Wompierski, Chief Psychiatric So-
-=tial,Worker, Child (Guidance Clinic |
of Delaware County, met in the
Common Room for a simulated
court session to discuss the case of
Mary Garden, a 14-year-old on
probation from Juvenile Court. .

In January, Mary and a friend
had been picked up for running
away from home, entering an aban-
doned house and setting up house-
keeping. They had been discover-
ed because of a fire of newspapers
which they started presumably to
keep warm, Once in the detention
home, Mary refused to return to
her family: This unique behavior

The decision of the panel was to
start with the parents on a case
work level to tny to bring them
about to the point where they
might ibe able to solve their own
problems and thus build a better
home, or to pinpoint the problem
so that a paechintriet would be of
tae-most-use. - . ;

Free Therapy

The financing for such aid runs
on a case work level: from $1 to
$10 per week for as many confer-
ences as are needed, those on the
therapy. level are free for . those
who cannot afford to pay but run
on a scaled income level up to $45
per week, The court can order
Mr. and Mrs. Garden ‘to accept
help, but if the parents refuse,
there is no actual legal means of
coercion.

The panel ,aided by two Bryn



led to interviews by a member of
the Juvenile Court with her, her
parents, and her school. These dis-
cussions revealed signs of bizarre
behavior on Mary’s part as well as
her parents who had many marital
problems. Mary has three broth-
ers and sisters with whom she does
not get along. The problem the
panelists discussed is what is to
be done for Mary.

Difficult Home Life

In the course of the conversa-
tion it became evident that the
cause of Mary’s problems stemmed
from her parents and the disquiet-
ing home life. Several. alterna-
tives for help were available
through the three represented or-
ganizations. The Court could work
with Mary and her parents on a
fairly superficial level; the case
worker could work mainly with
Mr. and Mrs. Garden but could

also maintain contact with Mary |}

as well as her sisters and brothers.
The therapist could give psychia-
tric aid to Mary or either of the

parents and at the same time con- |,

tact with the rest of the family.
The issues raised in searching for
the most effective method of aid
for the girl were: how to approach
this in order to get the parents to
_accept aid; where to start, with
Mary or the parents; on a case
work level? building from what is
healthy or on a therapeutic level

Learned Excavator Finds
Post-Pre-Humanoids’ Art
Alters Historistical Ideas

“Evidences of Pre- Human
Art” was the topic of a lecture
presented by Mr. Oswald Murphy
.of Kings College, March 13. Mr.
Murphy expressed the theory that
primates of a lower. order than
homo sapiens had developed 4
flourishing artistic culture well be-
fore the beginnings of human art
in the Paleolithic Period. ~

The professor documented his
statements by presenting slides of
colored drawings done on rock in
recently excavated caves. The
caves, buried for centuries, were
found in a stratum of rock which,
antedates the appearance of human
life as we know it by nearly one
hundred thousand years.

Sensitivity to Color

The paintings, explained Mr.
Murphy, show unusual understand-
ing of the principles of anatomy
and a great sensitivity to color:
They. .consisted..chiefly of small
groups of animals such as must
have dwelt in the region jof the
caves (the lower valley of the
Suez Canal). Occasionally the
scenes contained one or two man-
like ape forms, which Mr. Murphy
believes to be “portraits” of the
artists. ;

“The discovery of these paint-
ings,” declared Mr. Murphy, “may

historistieal eoncept of the devel-

the sositive desire to “live a life
that would take away the occasion
for war,”

After stating the basic contro-
versy over whether the essence of
Quakerism is that which it shares
with or that which distinguishes it
from other Christian religions, Mr.
Cadbury cited “rugged individual-
ism” and social consciousness as
features of contemporary Quaker-
ism. - Quakers ‘have always been a
“peculiar” people, in their sense
Tf Quaker-
ism has lost: its uniqueness it is
not because Quakerism itself is
changing, but because others ate
adopting Quaker attitudes.

fm considering Harry Emerson
Fosdick’s question about the rela-
tion between religious service and
social consciousness Mr. Cadbury
suggested that meeting could be a
“collective third degree.” He cit-
ed cases in which, as a result of
experience in meeting, groups have
been led to new social awareness.
Although Mr. Fosdick empha-
sized the distirictive characteristics
of historic and contemporary Qua-
kerism, he also stated that Qua-
kerism or any other religion can
not fit everybody’s need. A reli-
gion is something to “feel, to know,
to belong to” and not everyone

Gansser Analyzes Structures:

oS al

Ranges, Rocks, Alps Accident.

Professor Augusto Gansser, a
noted geologist from the Univer-
sity of Zurich, lectured in Park
Hall on March 9 and 10 on two as-
pects of tectonics—the study of
mountain chains and of orogenic
belts.

(Mr. Gansser, sponsored by the
Geologic Society of Philadelphia,
spoke on March 9 on “The Tecton-
ics of Mountain Ranges.” Concern-
ed with a comparative analysis of
the formation of mountain chains,
he discussed four ranges of young,
high mountains which offer well-
exposed sections: the Andes, the
Alps, the Himalayas, and the Iran-
ian Range. These mountain chains,
it can be seen, were formed in a
similar way, each illustrating at
present comparable structures.
Each chain, especially that of the
Andes, which exposes a complete
mountain range, shows indication
of a land barrier between the euge-
osynclinal trough and the miogeo-
synclina] trough on either side.

In the Andes the central cordil-
lera, part of the Sierra Nevada
range, distinctly divides the , two
troughs. The eugeosyncline, the
original volcanic area of unstable,
rapid metamorphism which led to
sudden uplifting and folding, is in
the west. The miogeosyncline, the
more stable, gradually forming or-
ogenic area, is in the east.

referred to as a “regrettable Acci-



Lecture Explains
Zen Discipline’s
Flesh and Bones

On Thursday, March 9, Interfaith
presented a talk by Miss Beatrice
“Yamasaki of the Philohophy De-
partment on the nature of Zen Bud-
dhism. The afiternoon program
took place in the Interfaith read-
ing room in Cartref, the building
which also houses the Comptrol-
ler’s Office.

After briefly tracing the history
of Buddhism and of the sect call-
ed Zen, Miss Yamasaki explained
that Zen Buddhists feel the human
intellect to be inadequate for see-
ing the essence of reality, There-
fore they try to attain satori, non-
rational, incommunicable enlighten-
menit, by means of. a-~strict disci-
pline which uses such techniques
as the koan and mondo to arouse
and maintain Zen consciousness in
the mind of the student. Medita-
tion on. these enigmatic statements
and questions and answers may re-
sult in a state of mind very recep-
tive to the attainment of satori;
after this final step the techniques
may be cast aside.

Affirmation of Life

Miss Yamasaki emphasized the
fact that satori does not imply a
morbid outlook. It is a naturalis-
tic affirmation of life, an author-
itative experience which produces
an entirely new point of view.
She spoke of meeting the well-
known Zen Buddhist Dr. Suzuki,
whose combination of serenity and
vitality struck her as expressive
of the spirit of Zen. But she warn-
ed that only the flesh and bones ef
Zen, and never the marrow, can be
communicated.

Discussion after the talk brought
out some details of the Zen disci-
«-pline, raised the debatable question
of whether Zen is a religion or a
philosophy, and touched on the dif-
ference between satori and the
Buddhist nirvana, which is concern-
ed with the life beyond rather than
with this life.’ Miss Yamasaki
spoke of the important influence
of Zen on Japanese culture, and
quoted some Zen stories, which she
described as having “humor, gen-
tleness, and human qualities.” She
considered today’s beatniks, and
expressed the view that they do

dent in geology,” because of their
complex nature, a similar division
between the two areas also exists.
There the eugeosyncline is found
in the southeast, bordered by the
central massif, on top of which are

found miogeosynclinal sediments, }

In the Himalayas, where Mr.

Gansser had to disguise himself as

a sheep-driving lama in order to
collect rocks which are there con-
sidered sacred, and in the Iranian
Range as well, comparable divi-
sions can be seen.

On March 10 Mr, Gansser dis-
cussed “Orogenic Belts and Ophio-
lites.” Ophiolites, the first lavas

and serpentines which appear at

the base of a geosyncline, are bas-
ic or ultra-basic rocks. Pre-oro-
genic material, they are either ex-
crusive or intrusive, being found in
eugeosynclines or on marginal
sides. Although comparatively lit-
tle is known about them, as they
have only recently been recogniz-
ed, they are, Professor Gansser as-
serted, distinguishable from other
voleanic rocks, Ophiolites are re-
lated. to deep-sea marine sedi-
ments, whereas other igneous
rocks, such as trap formations, con-
tain plant fossils indicating their
lack of similiarity with ophiolites.

Exam Board Accelerates

College-Choice Deadline;
Affects Bryn Mawr Date

Students applying for admission
to any of twenty-four women’s
colleges, including Bryn Mawr, in
1962 will follow a revised admis-
sions procedure set out in a joint
memorandum published last week.
The change of the College Entrance
Examination Board “reply date”
(when the student. must inform the
college of her decision on the ac-
ceptance formerly sent out by the
colleges by May 15) to May 1 ne-
cessitates the shift in schedule.

‘Bryn Mawr will notify students
of their acceptance or rejection by
April 24.. This means that the
achievement tests can no longer
be taken in March of the senior
year. Under the new plan the ap-
titudé tests will be taken in De-
cember and the achievement tests
in January. The colleges will ac-
cept some tests taken in May of
the junior year, This system will
leave more time for placing suc-
cessfully all seniors who want to
enter college.

Kline Talk Sees
“Marxists “Feuring
Current Revisions

“All philosophers with the ex-
ception of Plato and Hegel’ have
been revisionists,” explained Pro-
fessor George Kline of the Bryn

Mawr _ Philosophy Department, |

Tuesday afternoon, in a lecture en-
titled, “Current Revisions of Marx-
ism.” Mr. Kline defined a revision-
ist as one who, although not in
political power, makes changes. Ac-

~tording to this definition, he feels

it is possible to label many people
revisionists who do not consider
themselves as. such.

“Revisionism is a specter haunt-
ing the Communist world today.”
fhe present Soviet leaders are
irightened of it and, therefore, al-
though not without some justifica-
tion, they lump revisionism with
“reactionary bourgeois philosophy.”

Mr. Kline divided tthe revisionists
into those who wish a _ political
change and those who disagree
with the philosophy. The political
revisionists deny the orthodox ver-
sion of the facts about capitalism
and socialism. They want more
economic, political and cultural
cooperation with capitalist coun-
tries and the peaceful develop-
ment of capitalist into socialist
systems. (Some even deny the alleg-
ed monopoly of political skill and
wisdom of the Communist Party
and want a loyal opposition to “be
iormed. This type of revisionism is
found most frequently in Poland
and Yugoslavia.

Although not all political revi-
sionists are interested in philoso-
phy, by the nature of Marxism, all
philosophic revisionists are inter-
ested in politics. Marxism—is—es-
pecially open to revision because
it lacks an ethical system. At the
turn of the century there was a
first wave of revisionism that at-
tempted to put the Kantian sys-
tem of individual responsibility
into the collective system. This
was answered by a Nietzchean-
Marxist revisionist mjiovement
which denied individual obligation.

The modern revisionists can be
divided into three groups: . the
Kantian -\Marxists who struggle
with the real philosophic question
and emphasize the individual; the
Positivist-Marxists who are miost-
ly Poles, and who try to retreat
from speculative philosophy; and
the Hegelian-Marxists who are
the most orthodox, and who stress
the historical view.

ish people .were: made punishable |
by death.
Transfer of Criminals

As Miss Leighton explained, leg-
ally one nation can transfer a
criminal to another only when an
extradition treaty exists between
these nations. Even if such a treaty
does stand the criminal’s particu-
lar offense must be considered a
crime in both countries, and that
crime must be specifically men-
tioned in the treaty. If an extra-
diton treaty does exist between
Argentina and Israel, the crime for
which Bichmann was seized would
not be included. Because, there-
fore, Argentina could not legally
hand over Eichmann to Israel,
Israel delegated: volunteers to kid-
nap him. In regard to Argentina’s
indignity resulting from the in-
fringement of her sovereignty, the
U.N. settled that apology by Israel
would be sufficient recompense.
Israel, as a result, retained Bich-
mann, who is now to stand trial
on April 11 in Israel, under the
direction of a court of three judg-
es. One of these judges, Miss
‘Leighton: noted, has already been
involved in a controversial trial of
a German doctor who was a for-
mer collaborator of Eichmann’s.

Function of Law

Miss Leighton discussed the rule
of law as well as the character of
law. She noted the function of
law—to establish order, allocate
authority, dispose of cases, and to
preserve itself. Emphasizing legal
procedure in both domestic and
continental systems, Miss Leighton
“then treated international law.
She explained that although it is
of limited scope it performs the
same action as does domestic law
—particularly that of the alloca-
tion of authority, The law of jur-
isdiction, she states, is the most
clearly stated facet of internation-
al law. She pointed out the im-
portance of this fact in relation to
the Eichmann case.

Israel, the speaker noted, pro-
poses to try Eichmann under an
Israeli law that came into being:
after the crime in question was
committed, It is, further, apply-
ing this law to someone who was
never under Israeli jurisdiction.
Israel, in fact, did not even exist
as a state at the time of the war
crimes for which Eichmann is now
held.

As a result, Miss Leighton feels
that Israel is without jurisdiction.
She knows no way, she stated, in
which a country can make laws
which stretch back to a time before

diction. She asserted that it is
“bad policy for Israel to violate in-
ternational law in this way,” feel-
ing that it “destroys more than
builds international law as it now
stands.” She feels that such ac-
tion is particularly bad in that the
specific area of law concerned—
that of jurisdiction—is very well
developed and ¢learly stated”
Alternatives

In discussing alternative action,
Miss Leighton mentioned the im-
probability of Eichmann’s acquit-
tal and that of treatment of his
case by the International Court of
Justice. She stated that she felt
the best solution would be that of-
fered recently by General Taylor
in the New York Times: that Israel
should act as prosecutor in a
Grand Jury inquiry which would
then transfer its information in
the case of West Germany which
would then hold the Wichmann
trial.

opment of forms of life with human
intelligence. Assumed. .that’ human
life did not exist at the time these
paintings were done, it must then
be postulated that the drawings
were the work of some mbre primi-
tive forms of life about which we
know very little.”

‘Mr. Murphy remarked that the
presence of ape figures in some
of the pictures suggests that these
“post-pre-humanoids” as he terms
them were aware of their identi-
ties as “individuated individuates.”

“Such .awareness,” he “added,
“does not exist in early human ar-
tistic efforts and indicates that the
post-pre-humanoids were more psy-



chologically conscious than the

rar

early high saci ses

The professor also noted that
much of this early art bears a
striking resemblance to today’s
surrealistic art.. He pointed out
the great emphasis on lines and
abstract patches of color in both
kinds of art. The “abstract period”
of post-pre-humanoid art, accord-
ing to Mr. Murphy, ended abruptly
with the apparent ‘extinction of
the species. .

The lecture, originally eduled.
for the Common Room, Was moved
to Goodhart Auditorium because of
the unusually large attendance.
During the question and answer
period, many students urged Mr.
Murphy to return sqaon in order
more fully to describe his actual
excavations of the caves.
