Carter To Speak
On Segregation

Editor of Delta Paper
To Give Liberal
Viewpoint
A noted writer and journalist
will appear in Goodhart, Monday,
Feb. 25, at 12:30 when Hodding
Carter speaks on “The South—
Yesterday and Tomorrow” under

the auspices of the Alliance.

Mr. Carter, editor of the Delta
Democrat-Times in Greenville,
Mississippi, has been asked to talk
on the specific problems and social
implications of desegregation, a
subject upon which he lectured at
Columbia last year. According to
Charlotte Graves, Alliance presi-
dent, Mr. Carter represents a
liberal element in the South and
his speech will set forth a South-
ern view on desegregation which is
not often heard in the North.

Editor of the Democrat-Times
since 1939, Mr. Carter entered
journalism in 1929. He was born
in Louisana and studied at Bow-
doin, from which he later received
a honorary degree, Harvard,
Columbia School of Journalism and
Tulane. Awarded a Nieman Fellow-
ship and a Guggenheim grant, he
won the 1946 Pulitzer prize for
editorial writing. As well as con-
tributing to various magazines, Mr.
Carter is publishing a .book on
Reconstruction this year.

Mr. Carter will be in Rhoads at
2:15 after his speech for a discus-
sion group, to which, Charlotte
emphasized, all students are wel-
come.

Hell Week Sports
Variety of Themes
by Debby Ham

Hell Week brought forth various
strange manifestations. The cam-
pus abounded in Vestal Virgins,
Babbling Blasphemers, ordinary
spies and other run-of-the-mill sin-
ners.

The spies skulked from tree to
tree (except for one who insisted
she was a tree), the Babbling Blas-
phemers walked mutely in the
presence of their superiors and fur-
ously built the tower of Babel on
command. The Denbigh pack of

Wayland to Speak
On Polarized Light

On Thursday at 8:30 in the
physics lecture room in Dalton, Dr.
J. Harold Wayland, Professor of
engineering mathematics at the
California Institute of Technology,
will deliver the Science Club
lecture. Dr. Wayland will speak on
streaming birefringence. He is do-
ing..research in this field under
che National Science Foundation.
Dr. Wayland will give a popu-
lar exposition of what polarized
light is, how one measures its
‘yroperties and the the way it inter-
acts with various media. He will
show some of the ways in which
.t is used’ to study various proper-
ies of matter—optical rotation for
studying certain molecular prop-
erties, strain birefringence for
mechanical studies, “induced” bire-
_ringence by electrostatic fields
(Kerr effect) and its use both in
aigh speed photography and in
the study of the properties of mac-
romolecules, and streaming bire-
fringence and its use for studying
both fluid flow and molecular
properties. Dr. Wayland hopes to
9e able to bring demonstrations for
che Kerr cell and for streaming
birefringence. :

Drive To Be Held
In March For Camp

A campus-wide drive to raise
funds for the operation of the
Bryn Mawr Summer Camp will be
held. in the early part of March.
A special, drive is being held this
year because the League Activities
drive which has supplied the funds
for. the camp in the past has been
discontinued, since the basic funds
of the League are now supplied by
Common ‘Treasury.

The camp, located at Stone Har-
sor, New Jersey, is operated by
Bryn Mawr students every summer
tor six weeks. The campers, who
attend the camp free of charge,
are children from underprivileged
areas in Philadelphia. Thus, chil-
dren who probably would not have
che opportunity to have such an
experience otherwise are, enabled
20 enjoy two weeks of camping ac-
sivities--such as crafts, nature
studies, swimming and other
sports,-and: benefit from the health-

‘ul atmosphere. The camp also
gives the children the valuable ex-
verience of living with children
of other ages and races,

Both the Bryn Mawr students
who have worked with the camp
in the past and the directors of the
agencies which select ‘the children
consider the camp an extremely

“| worthwhile ‘project. ~~

‘lhas questions about the camp
should see one of the former coun-
sélors such as Joan Parker, Sandy
Grant or Gracie van Hulsteyn. .

Freshman Display Fine Choreography, Scenery
In “Amorphia”; Play Is Novel And Well Acted

by Debby Ham and Eleanor Winsor

Half a year, it seems, has initi-
ated the freshmen into the so-call-
ed classical tradition of Bryn
Mawr. Amorphia boasted a novel
theme as its greatest attraction,
but in actual performance fell
short of its possibilities. The
adaptation of ‘a theatrical form
as definite as that of Greek drama
to musical comedy production de-
mands both clear interpretation
and consistent viewpoint. The
freshmen seemed ~foath to re-
linquish the artistic effects
Greek form in favor of the lighter
spirit that should’ characterize a
class show.

Whereas a Greek plot is simple

and dramatic, involving few char-
acters; musical show picts’ derive™

eheir interest from complex ma-
cninations, substituting suspense
tor dramatic impact. In an etfort
to avoid overemphasizing the ob-
vious, the freshmen failed to state
clearly the implications of the plot
and as a result many scenes and
characters seemed either irrelevant
or unnecessarily subtle. Then, too,
tae Greek limitation of the number
of characters speaking on stage
placed too heavy a burden on plot
and dramatic intensity on too few
persons.

Directing Fails to Integrate

The purpose of a Freshman Show
48 not to display individual talents,
and its greatest problem, perhaps,
both jin writing and in direction,
is integration and the creation of
roles which offer a dramatic chal-
lenge to the actors while maintain-
ing a sense of the whole. A balance
of minor characters can effectively
support the balance among the
major characters while offering
opportunity for widespread class
participation. Otherwise there is
a danger of strong uncoordinated
individual performances, a danger
which Amorphia was unable to
avoid. The five major characters,
although engaging in themselves,
for purposes of plot seemed in-
complete as they wandered through
situations which were obviously
too contrived and too weak to
demand a dramatic interplay.

Sets Provide Unity

The sets, however, did convey the
atmosphere for which the fresh-
men were striving—pastoral sim-
plicity. The main backdrop was
imaginative; with the addition of a
few columns it was not only trans-
formed, but also given an unusual
chird dimensional — perspective.
Skillful balance of color between
the sets and the costumes and a
masterly touch in costuming were
the strongest factors of artistic

ing and blocking could have been
improved, the show was a » pleasant
feast for the eye. —

Although the script did not in
itself offer vast possibilities for
acting, each actress seemed to find
her own way of creating an inter-
esting role. Sue Harris lent a glee-
ful enthusiasm to the confusing
part of Corydon. The difficulty of
playing a romantic male hero in
a class show is pre-established, but
Sue escaped most of the pitfalls
of her position as she generally
left the audience free to laugh at
her own impassioned rendering of
marvelously exaggerated lines.

‘One evidence of the weakness.
and oversubtlety of the plot was.

transformed itself into the League
of Women Voters. Having won
their long battle for the franchise,
suffragette leaders turned their at-
tention to educating the large
group of new voters and, later,
to crystallizing into potential ac-
tion the informed opinions of its
members. \
This double emphasis upon Know-
ing the facts and acting on that
knowledge is the outstanding
characteristic of the League. Per-
haps because women came to get
a voice in politics through inde-
pendent pressure on government,
they can appreciate active citizen
participation in democracy.
Perhaps because women are rel-
atively new to politics, they are
usually more keenly aware of the
ideals behind issues than are the
more seasoned male voters. At
any rate, there is some reason to

Plans To Excavate

by Miriam Beames

The excavation of her own mound
at Gordion is the ultimate objective
of Miss Mellink’s trip to Greece
and the Near East on her sabbati-
cal leave this semester.

Departing in about three weeks,
Miss Mellink will make Greece her
first stop, where she will visit with
Dr. Rhys Carpenter, now Visiting
Professor at the American School
for Classical Studies in Athens.

After a week in Athens, Miss
Mellirfk will move on to spend a
few days in Istanbul and Ankara,
and then will journey through Iran
and Iraq, touring excavations and

| Because of its colossal size, it is
impossible to dig this mound in
the conventional way. Instead, the |
University Museum has used light
oil drills to locate the tomb, and
plans to tunnel in from the side

Excavators believe that they
have found Midas’ palace in the
main City Mound and should have
it well uncovered by the middle of
May, in hopes of discovering his
records and correspondence.

The Lessor Mound poses an in-

Activity In Women Voters League
Promotes Responsibility In Politics

an approach to politics which the
League of Women Voters ably rep- .
resents.

In what issues does the League
interest itself? Although non-par-
tisan, the organization has always
investigated and published the
qualifications of candidates. It
searches tirelessly into the inner
workings of government on every
level in the more than 1000 towns
and cities in the United States in
which the League operates. And its
abiding’ general pre-occupations ;
have always been child welfare and
world peace, two issues which, al-
though certainly important to
everyone, are particularly appeal-
ing to women.

Mrs. Joan Welsh, the energetic
and charming Public Relations
director of the Philadelphia Lea-
gue, explained to this writer that
the League is organized on every
political level. There are _ local
units (e.g., in each township on
‘in Lin units, state
units, and finally a national deie=~
gation. Each unit adopts its own
agenda; a typical local list would
in@lude the problem of recruiting
and retaining teachers, the problem
of county health and recreation
facilities, and the efficiency of the .
municipal government.

Reform on State Level

On the state level, the League
may be concerned with “who’s do-
ing a good job and why” in the
legislature. Or, as the Pennsyl-
vania League is now doing, it may.
push for amendments in the state
constitution. Whatever its stand,
the League has arrived at its con-
clusions from the report of a study
commission assigned to the issue.

Mrs. Welsh pointed out that the
League is a lobbying group—and
a very vocal one, as in its shout of
protest against the late Bricker
Amendment. But always its faith
is in the facts, as it sponsors such
projects as “Focus on the Future,”
a widespread campaign to bring
understanding of the world crisis
and sympathy with the United
Nations to traditionally isolation-
ist regions of the U. S.

Aspiring politicians should take
note of the fact that most women
who have held political office or
influence since 1920 have gotten
their start with the League—Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt is an outstand-
ing example. The League welcomes —
as associate members those who
are under legal voting age—all
Bryn Mawr students take note!—
and offers an unusual opportunity
to become an informed citizen and
to revive the sometimes-forgotten
idea that everyone can “do some-
thing” about government.

which gives you an opportunity to
meet people of the country which
you visit, an opportunity to see
the customs and every day life is
obviously an advantage over fleet-
ing glimpses of sightseeing special-
ties in busloads of Americans.
This principle, seeing a country
“from the inside,” is the basis of
organizatioris such as the Experi-
ment in International Living, under
whose auspices I spent two months
in Yugoslavia. Like thousands of
other Experimenters, I can say

without qualification that it- was |:

the most stimulating and-remark-
able summer of my life. I came
away with a feeling of real close-
ness to the country, as_well as
many_personal contacts. Again, the
Junior Year Abroad programs can,
and indeed, should be turned into
the opportunity to get to know the
life of a country, through one of
the most natural and interesting
channels—that of students and a
university. In exchange, both these
programs provide an opportunity
for Europeans to see how everyday
Americans act and think in the
routine of regilar life.

At’ the six-month mark of my
year abroad, then, this is a sin-
cere and vital cry to all you who
care about what the U. S. stands

for_and_ its position in the world.

Find a way to travéiD Gow Su

ope, to Mexico, take a vacation in
the South Sea Islands! It doesn’t’
matter where you go, but go—
taking what you consider the best
we have to offer. Explain it as best
you can. Exchange it and inter-
change it with what you find at
the other end. If you can’t find a
way ito go, look again, and if
you still have nothing, then work
at home. Do all you can to help
foreign students in the U. S. find
out how.they do things (they’ll be
dying to tell you), invité them ’to

your house, and show them how
you live.
All this is sometimes terribly

difficult. People perhaps don’t seem
to want to talk to you, or are
brusque in ‘explaining what seems
elemental to them. Sometimes too,
the effect that one person can have
in the world seems no bigger than
a grain of sand on the shore of
the Atlantic.

Yet, in spite of the discourage-
ment and the seeming hopelessness
of it all, sometimes living
amongst and making friends
with other people is an enormously
stimulating, varied and satisfying
experience. All the more so, as I
am convinced that such inter-

changes between countries, par-
ticularly between young people, are
the only hope in a rather sad
world. .

Thus, I urge you once again, to
do everything you can, each in
your own way, to extend a possible
understanding and to start by pre-
senting a truer and more favorable
picture of the U. S. to the rest of
the world.

In Record Library

The Record Library to date has
82 members, 166 L.P. records, 500
78’s, two co-chairmen, and Mrs.
van Hulsteyn. Much activity has
taken place in the Record Library’s
corner of the West Wing lately,
mostly in the form of an apprais-
al of the long-playing records with
an. eye towards the purchase of
new ones. Between semesters all
the 33’s were listened to on a hi-fi
Victrola and rated on the basis of
surface conditions, The rating
standards were:

Excellent: Perfect condition.

Very good: Slight surface static.

Good: Some surface maahio and
minor scratches.

Fair: Considerable static, occa-
sional bad scratches, and/or some
warpage.

Poor: (Completely worn out, bad
warpage.

The results of this rating show
that 66% of the Record Library’s
33’s are in good to excellent con-
dition. Cards with the date and
the condition have been made out

and will soon be attached to each] ‘

record for the borrower’s conven-
ience.

Last spring Martha Bridge, the
chairman at that time, bought a
number of new records. These fill-
ed in some obyious gaps in the Li-
brary’s collection and also added
same_int ng and rather unus-
ual pieces. Following the same
policy in our choice, we are about
to order approximately 30 more
records. ‘Suggestions for this list
are welcome.

one game. There were some-lively

took ‘a good while. ‘Encouraged by
their victorious opening sweep, the .,
members of the badminton team
are still competing for the differ-

{Sally Davis Wins Over Intercollegiate

Champ in Swimming Meet With Penn

With splashes and gun shots,
Bryn. Mawr’s: swimming teams
took to:the water once more for
the second official meet of the sea-
son on. Monday against Temple.
The Bryn Mawr varsity won 35 to
22, while the JV lost to Temple
30 to 26,

Both Varsity and JV scores were
close throughout the meet. The
JV forged ahead with the help of
Lynn McDonald and Pat Black-
more, who won the freestyle and
backstroke races. The score was
matched by Temple victories in
the butterfly race and medley relay.
In spite of the three point lead
gained by winning the freestyle
relay and excellent diving, the JV
was unable to win the meet.

The varsity events followed a
similar pattern, with Bryn Mawr
coming out on top. Temple plung-
ed in for a close victory in the
freestyle event which was matched
by Betsy Johnson’s fast win in
the backstroke race. Bryn Mawr

‘59's Friday Mixer
Is First Instance

by Liz Rennolds

In the spring a young man’s
fancy turns to thoughts of ...
whatever a young girl put there
in late winter. At least this is the
strategy of the Class of 1959, for
they are.deep.in.preparations fora
“mixer to end all mixers” (that is
to say, “end the necessity of all
mixers”) Friday night.

Most of the class is still recup-
erating from the after effects of
Freshman Weekend, but by Friday
there should be a sufficient number
of sophomores to take care of “all
those Princeton, Penn, Lehigh,
Villanova, and Rutgers men that
are going to come.rushing into the
gym at 8:30 ready to meet these
charming young ladies” says an
optimistic Mixer Committee mem-
ber.

Continued from Page 1

the necessity for including a de-
tached character such as Adonis to
link the audience and the action.
Pamela Wylie, nevertheless, turned
to advantage her situation and she
wandered from heaven to earth
with an intriguing sophistication.

Despite the charm of Sue Harris’
and Pamela Wylie’s performances
their roles did not allow them to
maintain the same consistency as
rudy. Hoffman’s Chloe. Although
her repeated gestures and intona-
tion verged on monotony, her in-
tentions and actions were clear;
her performance was amusing and
direct.

Pam Stafford, as Phyllis, was
afforded the least opportunity for
character interpretation since. her
part was essentially passive, de-
manding little more than an ability
to look charming, an ability which
Pam possesses in no small degree.
She provided a suitable central
motive for the action and punc-
tuated her passivity with her in-
credible giggle.

Recently a Bryn Mawr professor
of Greek remarked that in Greek
drama Zeus never appeared on
stage. The question of Nina Broek-
huysen’s portrayal was the validity
of her Zeus. The role, as written
and acted, was nearer a stock figure
of senility than a mythological
Zeus and lacked a certain gusto
which...might. have..enlivened..the
whole performance. Still there is
little a freshman actress can do
with such a part, and Nina’s play-
ful interpretation was a commend-
able effort.

The best musical feature of the
show, by its originality and pre-
cision, was the Greek chorus. Here
the lyrics and performance were
on a high level which was not
again attained by any of the music.
For the most part the songs were
pleasant, though somewhat mono-
tonous, partly because they were
all sung with the droning manner
. suited only to the chorus. Several

rapid changes of pace might have
improved them.

The Greek theme afforded the

Scott Discusses Hi istory
Of The Movement For

Common Room, Feb. 18: The
movement for European Integra-
tion is one of the most significant
political movements of our time,
asserted Andrew Scott, Professor
of political science at Haverford
in the Current Events discussion.
“We are in a world where the dom-
inant political pattern is the nation-
state, but there are constant
changes towards practical mutual
inter - dependence. Progress can
be made with the realization that
supra-national organizations must
not ~have~ only -adverse~-effects on

kick chorus a wonderful opportun-
ity to exploit Pallas Athena. Again
a good idea was stifled by poor éx-
ecution. In spite of the familiar
connotations. of Pallas, the routine
was ordinary and not especially
interesting.

The modern dancing on the other
hand was always interesting. Janet
Rodman and Lolin Casanelles were
particularly good and their per-
formance saved the orgy scene
from definite apathy.

Less timely was the insertion of
a dance in the finale where it de-
tracted from the actual. theme.
Both dances, it may be noted, were
introduced as excuses ‘for the con-
tinuation of a plot which had al-
ready reached an abrupt conclu-
sion. .

The performance of Amorphia
was jagged, although most of the
actresses did an admirable job
within the limits of the play. They
had a difficult script; their roles-
were over-burdened with connota-
tion inappropriate in a light and
farcical production. Still, the show
displayed originality and imagina-
tion which augur well for future
efforts.

national interests.” —

There have been plans for an in-
tegrated Europe for several gener-
ations, but the European Coal and
Steel Community devised by
France’s Robert Schuman was the
first to be ratified by the respective
governments: The member nations
are the- Benelux Countries, France,
West Germany and Italy. This first
supra-national sovereign organiza-
tién represents a tremendous stride
forward in economic and political
international affairs. Affecting six
countries. and.. 160,000,000. consum-
ers, the authority has taken and
merged the countries’ two principal
{ndustries; in its four. years of

operation steel production has in-

ereased by one-third and trade in
coal and steel has increased 250%.
_ The entire movement suffered a
setback in 1954 with the rejection
of the European Defense Commun-
ity by the French National Assem-
bly. (Originally devised by the
French, mindful of three German

invasions since 1870, it was to pro-.

vide a workable method for rearm-
ing West Germany. EDC would
have allowed for a common mili-
tary staff and joint intelligence
and procurement services. It was
designed to make France and
Germany cooperate so closely that
chances for the latter’s accession
of power would be lessened. The
French could. not.reconcile-them-
selves to military inter-dependence
with Germany, and, since the re-
jection of ‘EDC, emphasis on Eur-
opean integration has been solely
economic and political. ~

The advantages of European in-
tegration are great; a common pool-
ing of assets, concerted action as
a block of nations and an opening-
up of the now restricted Western
European market.

Revelers Drift From ‘MacDougal Alley’

“MacDougal Alley,” better
known as Radnor Hall, was the
scene of festivities on Friday even-
ing, Feb. 15, where over 300 danced
to the music of Charlie Everle and
his Infirmary. Five.

The guests, Bryn Mawrters and
dates and visitors from Haverford
and the University of Pennsyl-
vania, found themselves among
various Greenwich Village scenes.

Calypso music and dance re-
placed the traditional kick chorus,
line. Whitney Drury, Mary Lou
Cohen, Carolyn Morant, Madeline
Adler and Loretta Stern were the
members of this colorfully dressed
group. Additional entertainment
took the form of progressive jazz
played by Frank Conroy and his
band.

Last Saturday night, Bryn
Mawrters and their dates ascended
from the heights of Mt. Olympus
to “Seventh Heaven,” the Under-
grad dance held after the Fresh-
man show, Amorphia.

Eddie Clauson’s band provided
the music for the 250 or so couples
and dancing lasted from 10:00 till
2:00. Bryn Mawr talent provided
the entertainment during inter

were “Evils of Life on Mount
