Mrs. Oswald B. Lord,

Delegate To UN,

Discusses Far And Near East Problem

Mrs. Oswald B. Lord, member of
the United States Mission to the
United Nations, spoke in the Dean-
ery on Wednesday, November 30.
Her speech, “They know what free-
dom means,” was based on an ex-
tensive trip she and her husband
made through the Far and Near
East, on the behalf of the UN.

Mrs. Lord was chiefly con-
cerned with the progress of the
UN in “Fields that never get the
headlines.” The UN is divided into
various committees which study
such particular problems as edu-
cation, child welfare, health, and)
women’s rights in countries that
can benefit from the moral and:
technical assistance the UN can
give.

Mrs. Lord’s tour started in
Jerusalem and Egypt where there
is great emphasis on a welfare and
education program, particularly
for the younger generation, which
must carry the responsibility for
modernizing their country. The
UN has given as much technical
aid as possible to Jerusalem in the
way of supplies, books, etc.

Afghanistan was the next place
visited. Due partly to the ignor-
ance of the native Afghans who
refuse to give up their antiquated
farming methods, there are great
problems of farming and health.
The ignorance is being partly con-





quered by teaching the children
who in turn bring their knowledge

back to their parents.
Mrs. Lord also visited India, the

Philippines, Burma, and Formosa.
The problems everywhere are sim-
ilar; medical and industrial aid are

needed to combat ignorance preva- |

lent in every under-developed com-

; munity.

The progress the UN has made
in regard to these countries is only
a start, but it is a good one and

significant in that it has “con-
vinced: the world that the UN has
ino ulterior motives” in helping
these countries that can use as-

sistance.

Recently Organized Caucus Club
Listens To Longstreth On Election

By Charlotte Graves

The newly organized Caucus
Club of Haverford held its first
meeting on Sunday evening, De-
cember 4. Pursuing a practical in-
terest_in politics, the club invited
Mr. Thatcher Longstreth, the de-
feated Republican candidate for
Mayor of Philadelphia, to speak in-
formally on the campaign in gen-
eral.

I found Mr. Longstreth to be a
man whose charm would.very read-
ily appeal to the voter. He held
the group’s attention the whole
time he discussed his views and his
analysis of the period from Febru-
ary, when he was asked by the
now defunct Republican Assembly
to run for Mayor, to his present
search for a new job. He quite
candidly told the group much
about the “inside” of a campaign

cities.
“Ins” Ahead

The “ins” have a decided advan-
tage in waging an election cam-
paign, unless they have made many
mistakes and are so flagrantly cor-
rupt that the public is incensed
enough to vote them out of office.
Whether Republicans or Demo-
crats, they can easily utilize their
already existing contacts within
the governmental structure to
strengthen the organization and to
gain a stronger hold on the voting
public.

In setting up his organization,
Mr. Longstreth found that more
than just volunteer work is needed
to run a campaign effectively. Em-
phasizing the time needed to put
an organization into effective ac-
tion, Mr. Longstreth pointed out
the disadvantages he had to fight
in every move of the campaign.
He warned the group about de-



pending on people who are “behind
you 1000%”; it’s impossible to get
work out of them. However, those
in back of a candidate 100% are
more likely to offer assistance.

I know many of the group won-
dered why a man with no political
experience would venture into poli-
tics. In answering this question,
Mr. Longstreth explained that he
hopes to see the day when no par-
ty will need to pay its workers on
election day; rather, people will
participate in political campaigns
and will take an interest in politics
generally as a civic duty for the
good of the community. Mr. Long-
streth noted that in many of the
low-income areas, patronage is an
important part of the campaign;
until a man has enough for himself
and his family, he will have to be
approached on economic reasons.
Nevertheless, it is necessary that
every citizen be concerned enough
for good government that flagrant
political patronage and the buying
and selling of votes will not be
permitted.

After speaking to the group for
about forty-five minutes, Mr. Long-
-streth was asked a number of
questions, in fact so many that the
group moved to a Haverford stu-
dent’s. rooms, where we all sat

around even more informally dis-/:

cussing the campaign.
Dilworth Next

The Caucus Club hopes to con-
tinue on an. informa] basis, wel-
coming any student who is inter-
ested in politics and its practical
applications. No regular meetings
are scheduled, however Mr. Rich-
ardson Dilworth, will be with the
group on Wednesday, December 14,
to talk about the election in which
he was elected Mayor of —
phia.,

“Much Ado’’ ee
Congratulated
On Tone

by Isabel Gamble

Assistant Professor of English

Audiences in Goodhart last week-
end saw a Much Ado About Noth-
ing that came closer to profession-
al competence than any other re-
cent student production. It de-
serves praise especially as a satis-

{fying solution to the peculiar dif-

ficulties of the play. Shakespeare’s
habit, even in his comedies, was to
leave no initial statement unques-
tioned. The massively brilliant,
single - minded inventiveness of
Jonson throws into relief the dar-
ine contrasted movements of
Shakespearean comedy. The tone
of the first act is crossed, shadow-
ed, or contradicted as the play pro-
ceeds; some hairy-eared Bottom al-
ways inhabits the midsummer
night and the dream treads on the
edge of nightmare. In Much Ado
the famous crux of Act IV, “Kill
Claudio,” climaxes a shift of mood
as drastic as any in Shakespeare,
and in that shift lies the play’s
challenge to the actors.

Under Mr. Butman’s’ direction
the challenge was met, the alter-
ations from bright to dark and
back again accurately traced in the
rhythm of the production. Most of
the important parts were not only
created ,but sustained and varied.
At the head must be placed the
brilliant Benedick of Kenneth .
Geist, a witty and graceful per-
formance that lingers in the mem-
ory. Its strength lay in the delib-
eratte artificiality which by creat-
ing a surface, implied a depth—an
effect essential to the character. Mr.
Geist’s precise sense of timing sea-
soned his solo appearances and
combined neatly with his compan-
ions to make the ‘deception’ of
Benedick a stylish sequence, full of
gusto. The three plotters worked
well together and showed individual
merit. Harvey Phillips’ Don Ped-
ro, after an _ uncertain start,

Dilemna

At-the-recent discussion on “What’s Wrong with the
Chapel Committee?”, reported elsewhere in the News, one
complaint which arose was that chapel services are too sec-
tarian. Students felt that the use of a sectarian hymnal,
the benediction, and other details of the service alienated
those who could not agree with them, and that in order to
appeal to more of the campus the Committee ought to hold
chapel services that are truly non-sectarian. .
On the other hand, a number of students feel that the
Chapel Committee would be more effective if it held “more
sectarian” rather than “less sectarian” services. In other
words, if the nature of the service depended upon the Chapel
speaker for that week: a Methodist minister conducting a
basically Methodist service, a Rabbi holding a Jewish service,
and so on.

When questioned on this second suggestion, the Head of
Chapel Committee replied that it would at the present be
very difficult to accomplish such a program. The first prob-
lem is the eternal one of a lack of money to buy the required
hymnals, prayer books, and so forth. A second problem is
that many ministers themselvs have expressed the belief
that due to lack of facilities it is impossible to duplicate very
closely their actual religious services.

The Chapel Committee obviously faces a problem in try-°
ing to meet, through one organization, the religious needs of
students who represent many religious faiths and hold many
differing convictions. The Committee has said that it is will-

ing to consider all suggestions for solving any conflicts.
We feel that one point to keep in mind is that students
generally attend Chapel not for the religious service itself,
but rather to hear the speaker of the week. Perhaps the
_ success of the Chapel Committee should not be considered
primarily from the standpoint of the form of the service.
We also feel that despite the problems existing in one
central religious organization on campus, it is greatly prefer-
able to the alternative of dividing the campus into a number
of sectarian groups. ;







The College wishes to extend its sympathy to Miss
McBride on the death of her father on November 23.

Chekov’s “Cherry Orchard,” pro-
duced by the Hedgerow Theatre, is
one of the most elaborate produc-
tions ever staged by the group.
There is very little else to recom-
mend it.

The author meant the play,
which tells the story of the decay
of an aristocratic family, to be-a
comedy. Yet it could just as well
be done in a completely tragic
vein. It is not quite certain just
what Rose Schulman had in mind
when. she directed Hedgerow’s ver-
sion. The characters are too stuffy
to be truly tragic, too conscientious
to be comical.

It is obvious that a lot of pains-
taking effort went into producing
“The Cherry Orchard.” There are
four acts with three different sets,
the nursery, the lawn of the estate,
and a sitting room. All were ele-
gantly done by Michael de Beauus-
set, a man with an amazing eye
for color. The authentic period
costumes, too, were lavish, yet
charming and quite natural.

Thus, it is not to the discredit
of the background that the actors
as a whole did not act like profes-
sionals. Miriam Phillips plays
Lyubov Andreyevna Ranevskaya,
owner of the cherry orchard and
matriarch of the household. One
cannot help but wonder that, given |
support, she could‘have been quite,

effective in her role. As it was,
although she carried herself well,
her personality was not forceful
enough to give her the central po-
sition she deserved.

One of the persons who failed to
support her adequately was her
brother Leonid played by Ronald
Bishop who acted his comical part
with only inappropriate embar-
rassment. The other was the stu-
dent Petya Trophimof, Morgan
Smedley. He failed to define his
character at all and changed his
temperament from act to act.

By any standard, the most out-
standing actor in the‘ play was
Firs, the old valet, done by. Sher-
man Lloyd. Deaf, blind, and half-
mad, Mr. Lloyd acted every mo-
ment that he was on the stage,
even while sitting in a corner. He
talked of the “good old days when
the old master was alive” with a
voice literally trembling with emo-|
tion. He was both captivating and
heartbreaking.

Other characters were Bernice
Izes and Audrey Ward, the daugh-
ter and adopted daughter respec-
tively of Lyubov; a merchant and
house, Ralph
Roseman; a governess, Helen
Alexander; a maid, Kathryn Mid-
dleton; and a young servant, Rich-

ard Brewer.

The purpose of The Moral Deci-
sion is to examine ideas of right
and wrong, i.e., moral ideas, in the
light of American ideas of justice
and injustice, i.e., legal ideas.. Mr.
Cahn believes that notions of what
is good tend to become abstract or
vague, irresolute or utopian. He
feels that these defects may be at,
least partially corrected by exam-

ling concrete legal situations and

drawing moral implications from
them.

His belief that it is possible to
draw parallels between ethics and
law presupposes the view that the
materials of the two disciplines are
similar and that it is only their re-
spective methods which are diver-
gent. And the ability to treat mor-
als as a legal order leads to an
ethical theofy in which ethics, like
law, is focused more upon man and
his specific acts than upon concepts
and formal ‘processes.

While it is essential to consider
ethics and law in their manifesta-
tions in particular situations,
neither is subjective although, it
may-be argued, neither is universal-
ly valid either. But there is a
standard, the “moral constitution,”
which persists despite changing
conditions, and to which it is our
duty to make ethical and legal pre-
cepts conform.

The “moral constitution” is uni-
versal in that it is a psychological
condition imputed to all men. We
all. tend to dramatize. ourselves to
ourselves; we all tend to identify
ourselves with other human be-
ings; and we all possess a semi-
rational, semi-emotional, semi-bio-
logical sense of what is wrong.

Mr. Cahn’s focus on the notion

The Moral Decision By Edmund Cahn

though in all probability we will
be unable to choose what is right
in many particular situations. How
do we know this?

However obscure our sense of
right may be, we are reminded
that it is, by our reaction to per-
ceiving it violated. We may not
know what is right or just, but we
do know what is wrong or unjust:
“Our reaction to an act of moral
wrong is a blend of reason that
recognizes, of emotion that evalu-
ates, and of glands that pump
physical preparations for action.”

The “sense of wrong” in the
moral sphere is the “sense of in-
justice” of the legal situation. And
in The Moral Decision :the latter is
called upon to clarify the former.

The possibility of morality pre-
supposes society but individual mo-
rality is not simply derived from
group mores. Morality presup-
poses not merely society but an in-
teraction between the society and
each of its members. The process
by which morals evolve is three-
fold: the group command is im-
pressed-upon the individual; he_re-
works it in terms of his character
and intellect so that it will have
meaning for, him; and in using it,
‘he communicates it back to the so-
ciety from which he took it, in a
modified form. Hence, we are all
moral legislators and all moral
subjects.

Mr. Cahn’s method of drawing
moral implications from particular
legal cases makes fascinating read-
ing and avoids the accusation of
presumptuousness because it lays
no claim to being all-inclusive. It
is in a sense haphazard as all em-
pirical “derivations” of principles



of wrong is probably his most in-

Possibility Of Outer
Space Satellite
Discussed

To many Bryn Mawrters the
term “satellite” may suggest the .
Iron Curtain and_ international
problems, but the satellite discuss-
ed by Dr. Walter C. Michels, chair-
man of the Department of Phys-
ics at,the Monday Current Events
lecture was instead related to sci-
ence and outer space. :

For many years scientists have
wished to shoot a rocket beyond
the limits of the earth’s atmos-
phere. From this would be launth-
ed a satellite body which would
circle the earth in the same man-
ner as does the moon, which is the
vrototype for any projected satel-
lite.

-— Pull of Gravity

The problems involved in this
plan are numerous, and chief
among them is the atmosphere it-
self. In order to overcome the pull
of the earth’s gravity the satellite
must reach a height of three hun-
dred miles, almost seven times the
distance that has:been already at-
tained, and to do this it must be
shot forth from the ground at the
speed of 2 miles per second. No
rocket yet made, among our rock-
ets. which are copied from thos

used by the Nazis in World Wér

II, can travel at this rate. Fu
the force of gravity will drastically
reduce the speed of arly ’ object
seeeking to escape the atmosphere.
To overcome this problem the first
rocket will be equipped with a
smaller rocket, which will be shot
out from the_main rocket as its
speed begins to slacken. This will
continue to the desired height —
about 300 miles. There it will
launch a satellite which will begin
to revolve about the earth in a
time of about 90 minutes. i

The satellite will be a small ball
about the size of a_ basketball
which will contain instruments for
measuring such conditions as tem-
perature and cosmic rays. Since it
will never return to earth, but spi-
raling slowly downward as it loses
the speed necessary to resist grav-
ity, will be consumed by the fric-
tional heat of the atmosphere, all
this data will be transmitted to
stations on earth by short wave.

The information will be avail-
able to scientists of all nations, for
the project is not to be limited to
one country but will be part of a
co-operative effort on the part of
all nations to study our planet, the
National Geo-Physical Year. Not —
only the west but also Russia and
her satellite nations are.to partici-
pate in this and therefore all over
the globe radar stations will be
tracing the course of the satellite.

But the vast cost of this project
is too much for a mere observa-
tional experiment. It is hoped that
ultimately a satellite capable of
sustaining a group of men in space
will be realized. From this men
will be able to observe with the
aid of telescopes the actions of
men on the earth’s surface. Which-
ever nation first achieves this will.
have not only a tremendous mili-
tary advantage but also a great
propaganda advantage in the pres-
tige of their strategic position.
They will pass within 750 miles of
every point on earth once a day
offering a controlling prospect of
both earth, space and all the ac-
tions of men that now are the se-
crets of the nations.

Chapel Committee held an open
meeting on Tuesday, November 29
to discuss “What’s Wrong with
Chapel Committee?”

The main objection brought out
was that’ the chapel service is not
completely non-sectarian, which
may perhaps alienate some stu-
dents from attending. . One source
of sectarianism is the Episcopal
hymnal which is in use. However,
it was pointed out that if the

hymns were to be changed, it
would be necessary to purchase
new hymnals, which would be an
expensive project.

One student thought that the
benediction (which is personal to
each speaker) was another part of

the service which detracted from!

the atmosphere of an_ interfaith
gathering. This objection was
overruled, since it is felf that each
clergyman presents in his bene-
diction the best that he has to of-
fer in keeping with his feelings.

There were complaints about the
College Prayer for various rea-
sons, including its length. The
Committee hopes to revise the
Prayer during the year.

In order to inject more variety
into “the service and to satisfy
more groups on campus, it was
planned to institute a three-cycle
service. At one chapel there would
be a silent prayer and_ selected
passage presented by the Reader.
At another the responsive reading
would be included. A prayer com-
posed by or selected by the Reader
would be given at the third meet-
ing.

Chapel .Committee also would
like to revise the service book dur-
ing the year, if possible.

A new varsity sport, Bad-pud-
dle-ball, may be introduced at
Bryn Mawr. Bad-puddle-ball, a
combination of badminton, swim-
ming, and basketball, would be
played under the showers in the
gym.

Athletic Association President
Betsy Dugdale may have her
tongue in cheek when discussing
the adoption of such a sport, but
she is not kidding when she says
that there is a shortage of people
trying out for the three winter
varsities. The people out for bas-
ketball, badminton and swimming
are “wonderfully faithful,” says
Betsy, but there are just not
enough of them.

All students interested in any of
the three sports and dreaming of
athletic glory,» should make their
interest known by contacting their
A.A. hall representatives, or by at-
tending the practices as an-
nounced.

The Varsity practices are as
follows:

Basketball — Wed.
Tues., Thurs, 5:15 P.M.

Badminton—Tues., Thurs., 8:00

Swimming—Mon., Tues., Thurs.

“Bourbon Street”, “Pink Elephants”
Make A Gay Undergrad Weekend

For the opening event of Under-
grad weekend, Rhoads Hall was
decorated in the theme of the
Bourbon Street Bounce, with a
Sub-Bourbon Room, Cafe Corner,
and Bayou Bar.

Taking part in the contest for
“Belle of Bourbon Street” were
Lynne Sherrerd, Denbigh; Mimi
Machado and Tam Birchfield, Mer-
ion; Dot Roscoe, Non-Res; Lucy
Lindner, Penibroke West; Pat: Fer-
guson, Pembroke East; Donna
Cochrane, Radnor, and Micky Nus-
baum, Rock.

Each contestant presented a
stunt, not necessarily original. Pat
Ferguson, who won first prize,
combined a song and monologue,
and Donna Cochrane, second place
winner, combined poetry and an in-
terpretive modern dance.

The Boomerangs from Princeton
also entertained the crowds in
Rhoads’ front hall and smokers.
Music was provided by Jon Whit-
aker’s Band.

Besides “imported” entertain-
ment, several acts were put on by
students from Rhoads, who did not
enter a contestant for the Belle of
Bourbon Street. The “What-Fours”
—Mitzi Wiseman, Joyce Cushmore,
Barbara Mitnick, and Ellie Clymer
—did a few songs, and Leota Lu-
ders and Ellie pie san
danced to “Frankie and Johnny.”
Angie Wishnack, who was the ac-
companist for this year’s Junior
Show, played the piano and sang.

Marshait and Sarah Stifler, intro-|

duced the entertainment. “Bryn
Mawr’s own Octangle” sang sev-
eral numbers, including old favor-
ites and “When Day Is Done,” a
new addition to ‘its repertoire.

The Kingsmen from Columbia
College entertained with every-
thing from spirituals and a tricky
“Balinese” number, to “When
We’re Marching for Columbia.”

one at Columbia is from New

as being from eight different

Octangle Renders
Various Favorites

If you were one of the many who
danced at the Pink Elephant Pa-
rade last Saturday night, you were
also one of those fortunate enough
to hear Bryn Mawr’s nine women
of song. Headed by Sarah Stifler
66 and Clare Harwood ’56, Octan-
gle is always willing to burst into
one of its fine renditions of close
harmony fat informal ‘meetings,
step singings and dances.

The campus’ favorites, “Any-
thing Goes” (lyrics—a—la~-Bryn
Mawr) and “Let’s Fall in Love”
always draw requests, while the
girls worked on “Small Hotel,”
“When Day is Done” and “I Let a
Song Go Out of my Heart,” ex-
pressly for Undergrad Weekend.
Mike Dunn, Haverford ’54, is re-
sponsible for several arrangements
in Octangle’s repertoire, notably
“London on a Foggy Day” and a
parody to “Pennies From Heaven.”
Mr. Dunn, a paratrooper at Fort
Dix and jazz pianist, is still an ex-
cellent source of arrangements, al-
though the group is most anxious
for all contributions.

Octangle has been at Bryn Mawr
nine years and in this span has in-
creased its number from eight to
nine. Important alumnae are Miss
Jane Martin ’53, Warden of Den-
bigh, and Miss Muggy McCabe ’54,
Warden of Rock. The latter is
known especially for her rendition



of “Mood Indigo.”

Currently Sarah Stifler, ’56 (alto),
Clare Harwood ’56 (alto), Ann Coe
’b6 (second soprano), Nina Thom-
as ’58 (second soprano), Janet
Thompson ’57 (first soprano), Roz
Harrison ’56 (first soprano), Diana
Russell ’57 (first soprano), Betsy
Dugdale ’56 (second soprano), and

‘Dorothy Innes ’57 (alto), are the

Octangle voices.

students that try-out time is after
Spring Vacation and that there
will be five places to fill this year.

Friends Of Music Give Concert
Workshop On Wind Instruments

By Suzanne. Jones

‘The first concert-workshop pro-
gram of the Friends of Musi¢ got
otf..to..an. auspicious start Wednes-
day afternoon, November 16, as
students, faculty, and members of
this new organization filled up all

available seats in Goodhart Music
oom to hear John Barrows of the
wwew York Woodwind Quintet, with
vera Brodsky, pianist, present a
workshop ’on the French horn.

On the.following day the entire
quintet held a similar discussion
and demonstration of the other
woodwind instruments and of the
literature for woodwind ensemble.
in Goodhart auditorium that eve-
ning, the Quintet and Miss Brod-
sky were heard’ in a program of
woodwind chamber music.

Horn Workshop

ln his workshop Mr. Barrows
traced horn literature from the
time of Mozart and Haydn to the
present, illustrating trends by
piaying parts of several composi-
tions. He created a sensation by
performing a modern excerpt writ-
cen in a “blues” idiom which met
with much approbation and then
announcing that he had “just hap-
pened” to bring the’ composer
aiong with him. Alec Wilder, the
composer, stood to receive enthusi-
aSulc applause.

‘thursday atfternoon’s workshop,
which also included a demonstra-
tion rehearsal, afforded an oppor-
tunity for some discussions of the
works which were to be performed
in the evening, with “preview” ex-
cerpts.

‘rhe concert in Goodhatt featur-
ed an interesting and enjoyable
program outstandingly performed.
Although each work presented
threw new light on the possibilities
of composition for woodwind en-
semble, the Vivaldi Concerto in G
Minor for flute, oboe, and bassoon
peinaps best showed the amazing
diversity of which such a group is
capable. It progressed from the
humorous to the lyrical to the sin-

ister and back again with a vital:

forward impulsion that made it
very exciting to hear.

The Friends of Music felt that
the program had been a great suc-
cess with regard both to the qual-
ity of the workshops and concert
and to the amount of interest
shown in them.

Monday’‘s Blues,
Or Dread ‘Mono’?

by Debby Ham

About this time of year the mys-
terious disease commonly known
as “mono” appears to replace all
the other collegiate ailments that
send students scurrying to the in-
firmary on Monday morning. “I
feel terrible,” thinks the student,
hand clutching stomach and terror
clutching heart. at the thought. of
the dreaded “mono.” Her suspi-
cions become insurmountable. fears
when a white blood count is sug-
gested.

Well, relax, Bryn Mawrters; the
infirmary is not automatically try-
ing to find-mononucleosis in every
ailing girl. Just because you feel
Monday blueness, and just because
the whiteness of your blood count
is not quite normal does not mean
you will spend the semester re-
clining in an infirmary bed.

A white blood count is taken for
a variety of reasons, according to
Dr. Humeston. Many _ illnesses
change the white blood count one
way or another. It may even be af-
fected by the intake of food. The
blood test is merely a. convenience
to help the infirmary know if a girl
is really sick, and if so, what are
some of the possible causes.

A generally tired feeling does
not mean that mononucleosis is
stealthily creeping up on you. A
sore throat does not mean you are
infected with millions of “mono”
parasites. In other words the
mononucleosis virus is not waiting
to pounce on every Bryn Mawrter
who does not feel 100 per cent per-

On November 17 the Bryn Mawr

these games perhaps the best were

Vi ca: Siva



Mr. de Geer Talks
On: Swedish Laws

“Co-operation, not Federation”
is the slogan of the three Scandi-
navian countries, a BMC audience
was told last Monday by Louis de
Geer. Mr. de Geer, from the Swe-
dish Consulate in N. Y., had come
to talk on “The Development: of
Social Legislation in Sweden.”

When thinking of Sweden, one
inevitably also thinks of her two
neighbor nations and of how all
three go under the name of Scan-
dinavia. In mentioning “Co-opera-
tion, not Federation”, Mr. de Geer
observed. that the three countries
prefer reciprocal agreements and
a closely knit co-operation rather
than a Federal Union. Examples
of this reciprocal co-operation is
the permission for Scandinavians
to travel throughout all three
countries without a passport, and
the right of a Swede to enjoy in
Norway the same social benefits
he would have at home.

Mr. de Geer noted that he has
met Americans who _ consider
Sweden a paradise or social utopia.
This notion is far from correct, as
“working for a living is still hard”.
There is a certin business element
in Sweden that maintains the coiun-
try is heading for economic disas-
ter, due to “creeping socialism”.

However, “socialist” measures
have been practiced in Sweden
since the 16th century. Mr. de

Geer prefers to call the Swedish
economic and social system a sort
of “Modified Capitalism”, rather
than the doctrinaire or Soviet So-
cialism.

Free enterprise is still maintain-
ed in Sweden to a great degree.
Sweden has chosen the “middle
way”. Mr. de Geer said his coun-
try was not a “Socialist state”,
but does give greater emphasis
than most countries to the follow-
ing elements of its social structure:
equal opportunity for. all, better
social security, an emphasis on co-
operation between government,
private, and municipal interests.

a taxing part managed to make
Claudio always believable and -nev-
er dull; the directness and simplic-
ity of his performance created a
true, appealing personality beneath
the changes of couré and church.
John Hawkins (Leonato) moved
impressively from delighted fool-
ery and fussiness to outrage, grief,
and the dignified challenge to Clau- |
dio. Mr. Hawkins was able to get |
variety into voice as well as action;
the very accent of sorrow came al-
most shockingly into such lines as
“Being that I flow in grief. . .”.

Jean Young’s Beatrice was best
in the “tragic” central scene, and
therefore contributed essentially
to the play. Elsewhere, however,
she matched Benedick in spirit but
not in subtlety. Too often she
seemed angry and shrewish, miss-

light; one could not quite believe
