1885 Admission Requires
Four Languages, Science

‘Considering Bryn Mawr well
launched -‘by. a semester into the
future of the first seventy-five
years concluded and celebrated last
year, Miss Mabel Lang, Acting
Dean, chose to take a look into the
College’s past in her Convocation
address, February 6. The future,
she said, is merely a thing born of
wishful thinking, the past, a thing
of fact and her own field.

In her “scholarly rather than
escapist look into ithe past”, Miss
Lang bared the “bare-bones” of
the 1885 curriculum. There were
nine entrance exams in seven poss-
ible subjects:- Math (trigonomet-
ry); Latin; Greek; German or
French (knowledge of literature,
oral ability); English (correction
of bad prose specimens, composi-
tions and essays based on prescrib-
ed reading of Chaucer, Coleridge,
Milton and Ruskin); and Science
or Greek. (It was either Greek,
or (Science, French and German).
It was thought that students should,
have had advanced mathematics
and the four languages, though it
was possible to enter with two
“conditions.” They had to be pass-
ed in the first year.

Stiff Requirements

After their strenuous entrance
qualifications were behind them,
prospective degree holders had ‘to
fulfill four sets of requirements 4nd
“double” major. The requirements
were: a) two years of English
composition, the first year treat-
ing the origins of Anglo-Saxon,
medieval German and French lit-
erature through Chaucer; : sec-
ond year covering Chaucer t frough
the then present; b) two years of
science or one each of science and
history; c) proven linguistic diver-
sity..(“No student: will be gradu-
ated without some knowledge of
French, Latin, German, and some
Greek”); d) one year, five hours
weekly of philosophy, including
half a semester of the history of
philosophy, one and a half sem-
esters of logic and psychology,
twice a week; and once a week
throughout one year, biblical
Christianity, hygiene and human
physiology. Miss Lang commented
that philosophy must then have
been viewed as the “Mother of
Learning.”

Two Majors

The fields for majors were: any
two languages; Math and Greek
or Latin; Chemistry and Biology;
Physics and Chemistry; and His-
tory and Political Science. One
quarter of the first class were
classics majors.

An early catalog stated that lec-
tures were to bé “succinct” and
“distinct,” notes taken by the stu-
dent to be of lasting value for ref-
erence. Faculty minutes of the
first year reported that students
were to prepare one and a half
“hours per lecture. But in the sec-
ond year, there were definite cases
of “overwork” noted, due to either
“student eagerness” or “faculty
pressure.” It was decided there-
fore to limit students to seven and
a half hours total per week for

was a six-hour limitation on week-
ly lab work.

Miss (Lang feels we have had the
benefits of standards to live up to
rather than foundering and exper-

imenting traditionlessly. There

imentation in the curriculum which
means that any change is evolu-
tionary rather than revolutionary.
In order that the student might
organize and unify the knowledge
she has gained in a system of “‘flex-
ibility and diversity,” the comp
conference system was formulat-
ed.

Franzblau Invokes
Freudian Insights,
Discusses Beliefs

“Psychiatry and Religion; Are
They Compatible?” was the topic
of the lecture that Dr. Abraham
Franzblau, chief of the psychiatric
division of Mt. Sinai Hospital and
professor at: the Jewish Theolog-
ical Center, gave on February 7.

Dr, Franzblau stated that the
psychoanalytic aspect of psychia-
try has contributed insight into
the validity and maturity of relig-
ious beliefs. He paraphrased Sig-
mund Freud’s hypothesis on why
religion evolves, First, nature is
cruel and capricious, and man, in
his battles for continued existence,
attributes his successes and fail-
ures to the gods. He feels that he
is controlling his destiny by flat-
tering or scorning the gods. More-
over, the existence of gods makes
the universe less lonely for man.

Second, man cannot accept his
own non-existence, death. By in-
venting a god who is “the keeper
of accounts” he invents his own
immortality.

Third, man carrot live by him-
self; he must live-in a society. In
order to maintain the stability of
the society and justify the sacrifice
it demands, he must feel that it
has divine sanction. Seeking the
sanction of the gods is related to
the child’s seeking parental ap-
proval,

Dr. ‘Franzblau believes that sex
functions in the development of all
religions, He gave three exam-
ples} primitive religion, aspects of
Christianity, and Judaism. In
primitive religions one finds cor-
roboration of Freud’s three hypo-
theses: control of the elements,
after-life, communal elements.

The basic creed of the Christian
religion's is the belief in a son who
is born, dies, and is reborn, This
is a recurrent theme in other re-
ligions as well. In the Christian
religion, however, it is the son
who is reborn and is worshipped.
This, the belief in a virgin birth,
the chastity vows, the fecundity of
the holy ghost, the hierarchy of
values which places virginiiy first
and marriage last all show a@ re-
jection of sexuality and of the
father. It is the son who becomes
dominant and who is accepted by
the virgin mother who is mater-
nal but not wifely.

To renounce six is holy, accord-
ing to Christianity, ‘But according
to Dr. Franzblau it is to isolate a
person from the rest of the world
and to arrest the development of
normal sexuality.

In speaking of Judaism, Dr.
|. Franzblau_referred. to the more

Philip J. Scharper, 4 distinguished
Roman Catholic layman, will be
presented by Interfaith Sunday,
February 19, at 8 pan. in Good-
hart. Among the prophets he will
discuss are Camus and Faulkner.

Mr. Scharper, now an editor of
Sheed and Ward, Inc., was former-
ly\an associate editor of The Com-
monweal. He has written many
articles. and reviews on -literary

other magazines,

(He was educated at Georgetown
University from which he received
his Ph.D. and at Fordham Univer-
sity where he later served as As-
sistant Professor of English, Mr.
Scharper has spoken to various
groups like Interfaith at other col-
leges in the east and has appeared
on radio and television programs
devoted to religious and cultural
subjects. He is also a member of
the Conference on Humanities and

Budget ~

There will be an open meet-
ing to discuss the budget for
the coming college year with
Miss McBride, on Monday at
5 p.m. in the Common Room.
This meeting will preface the
deliberations of the college’s
budget committee for the year
1961-62. ‘







Legislature Accepts

Following three sessions of re-
view° and revision, the platform
suggested by the Election Revision
Committee as an amendment to
the Undergrad Constitution was
passed last night by Legislature,
62-6. A two-thirds majority was
needed to pass. Lucy Beebe, sen-
ior class president, chaired the
Legislature meetings; Melinda Ai-
kins acted as parliamentarian. The
essential changes introduced by

the amendment are: opening of
suggestion for nomination of the

candidates of the all-college elect-
ed officers of the ipso facto organ-
izations (president, vice-persident,
secretary and first sophomore) to
the whole campus; avoidance of
the inconsistencies of the straw-
ballot; and elimination of ‘the du-
plication of names on the primary
slate.

(Under the leadership: of Mar-
garet Parlin, Undergrad vice-presi-
dent, the Election Revision Com-
mittee spent the first semester of
this year analyzing the present

election system of Bryn Mawr and
those of other colleges. The newly

adopted system is a modified peti-
tion (all undergraduate students
may offer suggestions for nomina-
tion, not just the junior class in
straw-balloting); the election is to

be organized and run by a_ special
committee consisting of the UG

vice president, the first senior to
SG, and the four class presidents,
as specifidd in the amendment.
Constituency of the Election Re-
vision Committee was based on
sign-up sheets and attendance of
its meetings.

According to its founders, the
new system guarantees greater

choosing of ipso facto organization
candidates and requires that a stu-
dent suggested for two offices on
the same level must indicate her
willingness to run for a specific of-
ffice before the primary balloting.
The amendment contains a man-
date prescribing the system to be
reconsidered in the fall of 1962.

The February 6, 9 and 14 meet-
ings of Legislature consisted of

Revolution and Romanticism Spark Freshman Dlay

After a trying “Hell Week,”
Freshmen, upperclasmen, and
dates will gather in Goodhart on
Saturday night, February 18, to
see A’ Rose is a Romanoff, the class
of 1964’s production, directed by
Nicole Schupéf.

The plot: centers around ‘the ef-
forts of Amelia Cordelia Clotilda,
played by Carol Schrier, to: bring
romance back to a world which she
thinks has become humdrum. and
lifeless. This Gramercy Park
grande-dame hopes to accomplish
her dream by overthrowing the
Russian government and reinstat-
ing a czar on the Russian throne.

In the first act, Amelia disclos-
es her romantic notions to her
grand niece, Barbara, played by
Wenda Wardell, but the young
sophisticate will have nothing to
do with Amelia’s plans. As the
curtain goes down, Amelia finds
an ally in her old friend, the Ba-
roness Catherine Toumanova, play-
ed by Judy Zinsser.

In the second act, Amelia and
Catherine, having formulated their
plans for a “coup d’état which will
mean a coup d’ésprit” and the res-
toration of a czar to the throne of
Russia, look for supporters of their
cause in Central Park.

A man on a soap box, Rasputin,
played by Susan Fleming, first at-
tracts their attention. When he
finishes his fiery oration on the
evils of moderation and the need
for monarchy, Amelia and Cath-

Janet Friedman; a poetic pigeon
woman, played by Gabrielle
Schupf; an overbearing salvation

her milquetoast husband, played
by Joanna Woodrow; and two
young lovers, Celia and Kenneth,

Lacking Something?

Two people, an English professor and a psychiatristiga

disturbed by what they: see in women’s colleges. One foun

student expression in the college newspaper “thoroughly
shocking and disillusioning . ..a string of gimme-gimme-
gimme letters” on themes of “Me” and my “assailed dignity.’

Practice of Logic
‘uoaus Journalists
To Urge Creativity

|. Well-meaning-





red a ; stirbed and de-
pressed college females offering a “declaration of deperidence,
of helplessness, and a muted cry for help as well.” For these
occurrences one blames the students, the other, the adminis-
trations. These antithetical views result from attempts to
define such phenomena as “college education,” goals of aca-
demtic-institutions; goals of students, the ideal college envi-
ronment and the ideal student.
Rosemund Tuve, in a. letter to the editor of the Connec-
ticut College newspaper, ConnCensus, wrote that the college
community is ‘a society which has. withdrawn itself from
ordinary society to devote itself to scholarly purposes.” But
she finds Connecticut “a community of ‘students’ whose
mental temperature rises. to boiling point,.and over, .only
when some social privilege is in question, some world-shak-
ing matter like numbers of nights, or men in their bedrooms,
or who arranges the sign-out rules.” Students are indignant
over the “conditions for learning,” subject unjustly to ob-
servances they had no part in formulating. “What is one
to think of a group of supposed adherents of the intellectual

_life to whom these concerns are the chief ones rousing pas-

sionate partisanship? . . . If these restraints. and privations
such as have always characterized lives lived for deeper
purposes are so galling, why not go away? Why suffer in an
alien environment?”

In an article in The Atlantic Monthly entitled “The Pres-
sures on College Girls Today” Dr. Carl Binger attempted to
understand the people chided by Rosemund Tuve. “Young
girls, one must remember, are vulnerable, sensitive, ideal-
istic, often inclined to think ill of themselves . . . What is
common in the college gir] is a loss of zest, a feeling of apathy
or fatigue, a very much lowered self-esteem with sensitivity
to other people’s opinions and reactions, and, above all, inabil-
ity to get work done.” “The confusion of roles in which mod-
ern society has placed women,” parental pressures, academic
and social competition, environmental] and ethical conflicts, re-
action to “the formless chaos that surrounds” her and desire
for security are pressures to which “even the most resilient
and well-balanced” student will react. As manifestations of
these pressures, Dr. Blinger cites the following “maladaptive”
defenses: “intellectual sit-down strikes,” depression, feelings
of helplessness, daydreams and inability to get work done
(“To hand in written work on time means somehow to com-
mit oneself, to expose oneself to comment and criticism before
which failing spirits falter’). Binger’s advice: “It seems to
me that educators have at laest the responsibility of looking
facts in the face... It is all very well to say that this is part
of life and they must learn to take things in their stride...
A college which disregards (its students) essential nature
is doing only part of its job. If it wants girls to get the best

out of their courses of instruction, then provision must be
made for some easement and for some time for discussion
with intelligent and reasonably mature adults who are not
quick to give advice but are willing to listen ... If not, what
passes for education may only be a kind of ‘intellectual con-
ditioning,’ without depth or meaning, or hope for the future.”

On the whole are we as piddling as Miss Tuve imagines
or as helpless and disturbed as the kindly doctor thinks?
Granted we do climb trees, have snowball fights, hurl orange

. juice at walls, complain about lighting, eat erratically and

hold sit-down strikes, both civil and intellectual. But these
activities can neither be excused on the basis of a natural,
anticipated shock encountered in every college community
nor be deplored as: the diversions of mindless sub-adults. We
do not need the academic baby-sitting, lessons-in-life, hourly
pep-talk type of campus Dr. Binger idealizes. And hardly
more desirable is Miss Tuve’s community of passive, soul-
less automatons. The majority of Bryn Mawr students are
interested and serious; if they have ‘a muted cry for help”
it is well-muted.

- People, though in college for a variety of motives (to
delay entrance into the world, for lack of anything better to
do, to learn how to live with people, or, perhaps, even to learn)
would all like to have the secret of happy, stimulating, suc-
cessful existences revealed to them. If the revelation many

t to come through external stimulus does not come,
they settle back, tug up their de-elasticized high socks, shuffle
a deck of cards, knit and talk about the “great lack at Bryn
Mawr,” certain that there is no such thing as internal inspir-
ation or initiative. |

What is the something lacking at Bryn Mawr? Is it the
often suggested seventy-five watt bulb, constant seventy-
two degree temperature, males, supplied entertainment or
petter bridge partners? Might it not just be that students
as smart as they and others think they are can not remain
stimulated, inspired and mentally balanced on the issues
(driving rules, reserve room inadequacies, etc.) they devote
their extra-curricular attention to? __ 2

If people could be assured that their intellects will not
diminish or disintegrate ynless limited to three hours a day
of careful note-taking, if they. could convince themselves as
they try to convince their mentors that they do “think” in
spite of appearances, if they would try to solve their own
neuroses instead of wallowing in them, if they found issfes
more worthy of their intelligence to be indignant about,
then, perhaps, the “lack” would disappear and the cold shoul-
ders of the world and professors thaw.

Dr. Binger and his phalanxes of emotionally disturbed
females might consider again what the goals of colleges are.
Boredom, overeating and dissatisfaction can not be solely
| responsibilities. The goals of colleges do not

Scholarly Africans
Get Learning Aids

Selection of as many as 200
Afrcian students for four-year
scholarships in American univer-
sities and colleges, beginning next
fall, is assured by the response of
American institutions and African
educators to plans of the African
Scholarship Program of American
Universities.

David D. Henry of Harvard
University, coordinator of the new
(program for the cooperating insti-
tutions, announces that already 80
colleges and universities in 28
states and the District of Colum-
bia—representing every section of
the United States—are prepared
to accept students from Africa
recommended by the college-run
program. Included in this num-
ber are Bryn Mawr, Haverford,
Swarthmore, and the University
of Pennsylvania, as well as all of
Bryn Mawr’s sister colleges.

In Africa, six selectiofii commit~
tees of educational leaders in ma-
jor countries already have been
set up to assist the American col-
leges and universities in assessing
the preparation and promise of ap-
plicants,

The new program extends to
other countries of East, West and
Central Africa a selection and
scholarship program initiated by
24 colleges and universities which
this year brought 24 Nigerian stu-
dents to American institutions.

The African-American Institute,
administering agency for the pro-
gram in Africa, has opened an of-
fice innDar-es-Salaam, Tanganyika,
for handling student applications.
Field agents in each of the coop-
erating countries in East and Cen-
tral Africa will work with this
central office. An Institute office
in Lagos will handle applications
from Nigeria.

African educational] leaders who
will serve on the boards to select
the scholarship students for study
in America have expressed enthus-
iasm for the program. A univer-
sity leader in Uganda wrote:

, Letters to

Form Regrettable Part

To the Editor of the College News:
Dear Editor,

One thing this college does not
lack is atmosphere. It is filled with
subtly _ shaded _ smokers, typing
rooms filled ‘with students in black
tights huddled with misty eyes
around an occasional lamp-studded
desk, and oh, those cozy little cor-
ner chairs in each room with a
soft hazy glow not quite covering
the page...

Atmospheric? yes, but mostly
just dark, What is this 60-watt
limit-per-bulb that a student con-
tinually hears quoted to her when
she asks, timid as Oliver Twist at
that last farewell supper at the
workhouse, for a 100-watter? Is
the wiring of our grand old halls
so poor that it cannot hold two
hundred watts and maybe a vic-
trola in each room? And if this is
the case, why does even the well-
wired Battenbuilt structure down
the hill have a two-foot stack of
40-watt bulbs. in its closet? A
foootnote should be added to our
diplomas: Bachelor of the Art of
Bulbsnatching.

And what about the main read-
ing room of the ilbrary? Am I
really the only person who has to
dig out my glasses just to find my
desk, much less read a book, if I’m
not already forced to wear them
all day? No wonder we have re-

quired eye examinations every
other year!
Miss Howe will be touring

through the halls in the next few
weeks, to check on needed repairs,
but you needn’t bother to hide
your extension cords and three-
way bulbs—if you just pull down
the shades, she couldn’t see to find
them anyway...

Squintingly ‘yours,

As Discussion Keys;

There has been considerable
complaint on the Bryn Mawr cam-
pus about the lack of discussion
among students and between stu-

dents and professors. In the past,

the answer of the Administration
to these complaints has always
been that discussion is up to the
students, and that they themselves
must generate questioning in class-
es . This approach has been entire-
ly unsuccessful, Bryn Mawr class-
es are designed as lectures, and in
spite of the peremptory ten-min-
ute question periods occasionally
appended, they have never induced
enthusiastic discussion.

Therefore, we would like to sug-
gest that the time has come for
the Administration to act affirm-
atively to improve this essential
facet of our education. Especially
now with several advanced-level
courses having more than twenty
students in them, it would seem
advisable for Bryn Mawr, reput-
edly a school featuring small class-
es, to consider initiating, in some
departments, the kind of seminar
system which exists, and has exist-
ed for over forty years, at such a
school as Princeton.

There, large lecture classes are
divided up once or twice a week
into group sof four or five students
and an instructor or professor.
These divisional groups meet for
an hour specifically to discuss the
reading material of the course, The
professor plans the seminar in an
effort to stimulate the formulation
and expression of student ideas.

We do not feel that this a form
of “babying” the students, and
certainly Princeton has not found
it to be so. (Rather, it stimulates
the student to participate more
fully and meaningfully in the sub-
ject matter of the course. Inev-
itably there are certain difficulties
involved in establishing such a
program. It requires additional
work on the part of all concerned,
and in particular on that of the
faculty. Nevertheless, the advan-
tages to be gained therefrom seem
far greater than the effort requir-

ed. It. seems regrettable that Bryn .~

Mawr has for so long neglected
this no longer new development in
college education.

Editors of ‘Berliner Illustrirte

families recently received copies
of the first post-war edition of a
once-famous German ° magazine,
Berliner Ilustrirte. The statement
by the editors explains in part.that
this “is our message of friendship,
a renewed Berlin pledge in the
cause of liberty . . . This is both
the story of Berlin, and our way
of expressing gratitude to all in
the free world who have remained
true to us.” —

Asa tribute to the conquerors
and present protectors of West
Germany, this copy of Berliner Il-
lustrirte is very impressive, As the
story of Berlin, it is unrealistic.
The cover portrait of President
Kennedy and the title of the first
article, “50 Stars Protect Berlin,”
are typical of the entire issue.
Even the layout of this picture
magazine emulates the “anything
American” form and content seen
throughout its pages. The editors
seém to ‘be offering. the photo-
graphs of American fashion as
proof of the Berliners’ desire to be
like Americans and of what they
deem consequent necessity of
American protection in Berlin. I
believe the impression is accurate,
but are the editors correct?

One Sided View

The overall theme of the issue
is that, although the,Communists
have attempted to strangle Berlin
and to steal her, West Berliners
with American help have kept the
monster away. The reference is
always to America, never to the
Allies, Britain or France.

There are no two sides to the
story according to the editors of
Berliner Illustrirte. The photos of
East Germans, shabbily dressed
and despondent looking, staring
with envy from behind the barbed
wire of the boundary or from a
lonely refugee home in West Ber-
lin present exactly the same image
that American propaganda con-
stantly offers.

Along with its deprecation of
everything communistic, the mag-
azine deplores any mention of the
Nazis unless it is to note that “the
Communist Youth have become
the spiritual heirs of the “Hitler
Youth” or that “we have had to
watch our tongues twelve long
years under: the Nazis, and we
have jbeen watching them another
15 years in the ‘Workers Para-
dise’.” There seems to be no con-
sideration of the fact that West
Berliners, too, could possibly have
been Nazis, or that, instead of a
dear friend and companion, Ger-
many, was indeed a conquered
enemy in the not too distant past.

The magazine, published inde-
pendently for 51 years before its



Proficient Student
Identifies Artifacts

Glenda Boyd, ’62, has been no-
tified that she is the winner of
Miss Frederica de Laguna’s “What
in the World?” contest. The com-
petition, open to everyone, con-
sisted of identifying such artifacts
as a feather-box carved by the
Maoris of New Zealand, a fish-
club made by the Tlingit Indian
tribe in the Northwest of the Unit-
ed States, and an arrow-shaft
straightener found in the South-
west. -

For correctly identifying more
of the six items than anyone else,
Glenda received the head of a
terra cotta figurine from the val-
ley of Mexico. Second prize was
bere by Jim Berry, a senior in

ed name, “illlustrirte”’ instead of
“illustrierte” as a result of a typ-
ographical error in the first issue.
The Nazis, in gaining control, cor-
rected the misprint, The new. ed-
itors “prefer the old tradition to
the new order of the Nazis.” This
issue has even been numbered to
follow the last issue,before Hitler’s’
coup d’etat—thus completely and
purposely refusing to admit that
the years 1933-1945 even, existed.

Reunification Wanted

The solution offered in each one
of the articles is practically the
same — reunification of Germany.
The point is made and reiterated
several times along with the ne-
cessity of maintaining American
troops in Berlin, of not yielding, of
continuing negotiations, and in
general of carrying out the present
American policy on the question.
It seems imposible that all Berlin-
ers really agree in toto with the

American stand on Berlin.

We Americans should appreci-
ate the tribute offered in this re-
cent issue of Berliner Illustrirte,
but we should also recognize it
for the propaganda ‘that it is.
Perhaps if these two hundred thou-
sand copies were distributed in
Russia, they would be more ef-
fective. Personally, I’d like to
see the other side of the story rep-’
resented also.

Citizenship Group
Holds Workshops

The 16th annual Encampment
for Citizenship, described as a pro-
gram which “adequately prepares
one “for public responsibilities,”
will be held this summer at the
Fieldston School in Riverdale, near
New York City, at the University
of California in Berkeley and in
La Mina, Puerto Rico.

The Encampment for Citizenship
is a non-profit, non-sectarian, non-
political, educational. organization
inaugurated under the auspices of
the American Ethical Union, Back-
ed by civic, social, and labor groups
the American Ethcial Union holds
six-week projects. each. year for
students between 18 and 28.

Field Trips

(Workcamp participants delve
into such fields as: the history and
meaning of democracy, natural re-
sources and the economic system,
human resources, and internation-
al affairs, Workshops, lectures and
discussion groups are supplement-
ed by field trips for research and
first hand observation. Campers
see conditions in different social
and economic areas of the com-
munity in which they are situat-
ed, visit housing developments,
talk with families and meet with
school, church and civic leaders.

Part of the success of the En-
campment’s programs: has been due
to the outstanding educators who
organize and support the pro-
grams. These include Dr. Dan W.
Dodson, Director, Center for Hu-
man Relations, N. Y. U.; Dr. Bert
Loewenberg, Sarah Lawrence Col-
lege; Dr. Arthur L. Swift, Jr.,

One young innocent

Therapeutic Dance

by Ellen Rothenberg

Nicole Schupf set aside the gui-
tar_she had _beenstrumming~and’
smiled engagingly. “You’re here
for an interview,aren’t you?” she
asked. I admitted the point and
asked her to tell me about herself.

“Freshman Show is going to-be
marvelous!” she began. “We really
have something to say in it, and I
think we're saying it right. It’s
all about the revival of romanti-
cism—in. a satirical vein, of
course!”

‘Some few minutes elapsed before
I had a chance to explain that I
was interested not only in Fresh-
man Show but in Nicole herself as
its director. Nicole took the dis-
closure ‘well but couldn’t resist re-
marking, “But Freshman Show is
so much more interesting!”

Theater as Philosophy

I soon found out that the play
is just one of Nicole’s interests.
Planning to major in philosophy,
she sees the theater as one way of
tackling the problems her subject

poses.



Freshman Show Director,

Nicole Schupf. .

“The wonderful thing about phi-
losophy,” she said, “is that all phi-
losophers are trying to answer the
same questions, yet each comes up
with a new sort of answer, I want
to compare their answers and. try.
to apply them to my own life.”

After her undergraduate work,
Nicole wants to go into psychia-
try. |

“The psychiatrist and the phi-
losopher are both trying to solve
the same problems,” she explained,
“only they use two different. ap-
proaches. I’d like to be familiar
with both.”

Loves to Dance

The director feels that her chief
talent is dancing and considers
dancing the ultimate in expression.

“Dancing presents ideas through

pure form,” she told me. “It doesn’t
have to use words, Words,” she
added, “are often the surest way
to ruin meaning.”

Writhing in essential soul,
I asked what sort of dancing she
wanted to do. Nicole spoke of
modern dance as her favorite and
then added that she was interested
in another kind which combines
dancing with psychotherapy. Cer-
tain psychiatrists have advanced
the theory that each psychosis has
its own movement and that doctors
can communicate with patients
who are too withdrawn to speak
‘by copying their particular action.
This assures the patient of the
therapist’s eagerness to help him

Feeling as Cause of Dedlgittaticoe =

AL ie

The feeling of friendship devel-
oped by one foreign student-while
at Bryn Mawr has been manifest-
ed in a letter recently received by
Mrs. Martha M. Diez, Foreign Stu-
dent—Adviser,—-The letter, dated
August 1, 1960, was from Miss
Ryoko Suetsugu of Tokyo, who re-
ceived an (M.A, from Bryn Mawr
in 1958, and discussed the Japan-
ese political scene of last summer.

“The reason why the movements
against the Japamese-U.S. Secur-
ity Treaty suddenly began to rise
toward the end of last May,” said
Miss Suetsugu, “seems to me to be
primarily the maladministration of
the Kishi- Government.” Prime

regarded ithe rules for steering the

Lizards Embellish
Traumatizing Tale
By Edward Gorey

In a philanthropical effort to
brace the failing spirits of college
students everywhere, the publish-
ing house of Ivan Obolensky Inc.
has sent out copies of its latest
book” The Hapless Child, for re-
view by college publications.

The Hapless Child is a heart-
warming tale about a little girl
Early in
her merry career, Charlotte Sophia
loses her father (to insurrection-
ists in Africa) and her mother,
(who dies of grief for the father).
The wicked family lawyer places
her in a boarding school where the





hasn’t done and the students de-
stroy her beloved rag doll. Even-
tually she flees from the hallowed

This is only the beginning of her
troubles,. Charlotte Sophia is ‘sold
to a drunken brute who puts her
to. work making artificial flowers.
As she begins to lose her eyesight,
the drunken brute begins to lose
his sanity. When things get too
bad, she staggers out into the
street only to be run over and kill-
ed by her father who did not real-
ly die at all but has returned to
search for his lost daughter.

The book, written, fittingly
enough, by Edward Gorey, is am-
ply equipped with illustrations.
Few if any are without bats, toads,
lizards and other enchantingly
aesthetic symbols of the inherent
beapties of life.

The editors highly recommend
The Hapless Child to all necro-
philes and misanthropes. They
also recommend that the next time
Ivan Obolensky Inc, decides to
favor his prospective customers
with free samples, the firm accom-
pany its gifts with a liberal sup-
ply of tranquilizers.

the ratification ‘of the treaty. The
government had been unpopular
among the intellectuals for some
time “because of its reactionary

tendeney, Their disregard of the

rules of democratic parliamentar-
ianism in addition, madé the Jap- ~
anese people of broad social strata
blame the government, and made
them strongly desire that the gov-
ernment would resign.”

Eisenhower's Visit

Proceeding to an event of. es-
ipecial interest to Americans, Miss
Suetsugu suggested that Mr. Kishi
“tried to strengthen his own gov-
ernment and his own party by
makihg use of (President Eisenhow-
er’s visit to Japan, or at least made
the Japanese people suspect that
he did so, It was for this reason
that the Socialists, who made bad
use of this situation, the commun-
istic labor unions, and the student
body called Zengakuren were guil-
ty of that extremely discourteous
behaviour toward White House
Perss Secretary Mr. James C. Ha-
gerty, and that as a result the gov-
ernment had to ask President Eis-
enhower to postpone his visit here.
This is a most humiliating, sad
event for us all. As to this mat-
ter, I, as one of the Japanese na-
tion, express my deepest regret.”

Miss Suetsugu stressed her be-
lief that “All these things hap-
pened because of the anti-Kishi
feeling among the Japanese peo-
ple, and were not basically anti-
Amercian at all. It was most un-
fortunate that these two senti-
ments, anti-Kishi and anti-Amer-
ican, appeared to be the same, and
made outsiders misunderstand the
Japanese people as anti-American.”
“As to myself,”’. she said, “I am
always grateful to all my Ameri-
ean friends for what they have
done for me out of their sheer kind-
ness, generosity, sincerity and
love, and hope that our aaa
will long be cherish

Powerful Propagands

“The vigorous propaganda by
the Communistic side who declare
that to cooperate with the United
States will draw us into another
war, will continue to have a strong
persuasive power to some extent,”
admitted Miss Suetsugu. But, in
conclusion, she expressed the hope
for the future: “I believe that the

party whose primary diplomatic
policy is to have a friendly rela-_

tionship with the United States,

will win the Majority at the next
general election, I hope that the
friendly relationship between the
people of the United States and
of Japan will not be hindered by
the recent unhappy events but will
be promoted the more by under-
standing each other with this as a
momentum.”

To Fame i I Glamour Search










‘Clothes make the woman, especially: at Bryn Mawr, and to remedy
our fashionable college’s poor showing during the last five years in
Glamour magazine’s “Ten Best Dressed College Girls in America”

contest, the”-News presents Carey Dalton Park as its candidate.

feel that Miss Park is an outstanding example of the sartorial variety

on the campus
as well as the or-
iginator of a uni-
que and daring
personal fashion
philosophy.

Carey came to
Bryn Mawr from
the exclusive Miss
Bellhop’s School
where she was
well known for
her versatile chif-
fon gym bloom-
‘ers. She is »ma-
joring in Caspian
paleontology here
and doing a spe-
cial research pa-
per on “Trilobite
kinship systems.”
Unlike most
‘best -- dressed
girls” Carey is
determined not ito
be one of Bryn
Mawr’s failures, and she seems to
have a good chance of being one
of the school‘s most notable suc-
cesses in this endeavor.

Carey firmly believes that ver-
satility should be the well-dressed
college girl’s watchword, and all
her outfits, like the one in which
she is pictured, exemplify this car-
dinal principle. For our camera to-
day she wore one of her. most
serviceable ensembles, a charming
and changeable trifle she picked
up in her favorite little boutique.
She calls it the “switcharound
swatch,” and it seems destined to

evoke lots of campus comment.
Casually draped to the latest
mid-shin length, Carey finds it
ideal for classes, meals, and rous-
ing strolls to the lab. Of course,
the swatch can be draped many

College Character

For Mademoiselle

Six Bryn Mawrters are now serv-
ing on the national College Board
of Mademoiselle magazine. Repre-
senting all classes, they include
Frances Hargrave, Gail Lasdon,
and Audrey Wollenberg, ’61; Bon-
nie Kevles, 62; Joan Chapin, ’63;
and Rosabeth Moss; ’64.

In an ‘assignment in writing,|:

editing, fashion, advertising, or
art, the girls report on life and
trends at Bryn Mawr. They are
competing with 836 other Board
Members. at 329 other schools for
twenty Guest Editorships on Ma-
demoiselle this June. Guest Editors
spend a salaried month in New
York writing, editing, and illus-
trating the annual. August college
issue. Lynn ‘Macdonald, ’60,; was

last year’s Guest College and Ca-|

reers Editor.

The girls tried out for the board
last fall and are now working on
the assignments due March 1. In
addition to the Guest Editorships,
the girls can receive prizes for
their work or publication of their
articles. They will remain Board
Members as long as they are in
college, with the opportunity to
compete for Editorships and priz-
es each year,

more ways, including formal and
tight for visits to professors or
the good old spring perennial: a

bikini cover. Carey testifies to the
efficacy of the swatch in keeping
the grounds looking “decent.”
Along with her swatch, which
she wears here in her favorite
shade of traumatic rose, Carey has
snuggled into a neat, little -kesh-
kimbel with numerous tassels. It’s
a warm addition to the swatch in
blowy weather, and also comes in
a host of fetching colors. Carey
has chosen one of a delicate dark
shade of iron oxide to harmonize
with the rose. We feel sure that
this versatile costume could easily
take her to the “gala Champagne
Cotillion” given for the contest
winners.
Although busy with classes (she
also takes baby English which she
finds “really rough”) and numer-
ous labs, ‘Carey does not neglect
the aesthetic side of life, and the
accessories she chose to accent her
basic outfit reveal her artistic tal-
ents and appreciation. In her left
hand is a ceramic portrait she did
of her great-grandfather (whom
Carey strongly resembles?) which
is also, versatilely enough, a flow-
er pot. Her glasses are a chic
pair of dark horn rims in a Cogito
Brown, and naturally the swatch
is secured with Carey’s favorite
circle pin. She feels that the de-
sign is a good symbol of the beau-
tiful logic of the academic clime,
and wouldn’t part with it for the
world.

This is only a brief sketch of
Carey Daltom Park and her fash-
ion, philosophy, but we hope it will
whet Glamour’s appetite for more
information and candid shots of
this versatile girl, and we wish

| her the best of luck in the contest.

It’s certainly not every college
that is privileged to have as its
representative such an outstand-
ing fashion pace-setter.

Harper Associates

us OF Women
e - @ : ‘ e
With Guilt Feeling
Dr. “Harper began his lecture,
“Aspects of Social Structure in
South India,” by changing its title
to “Fear and the Status of Women

and Hypothesis.” Based on a year’s
study of a particular Brahman cast

‘lin. southern India, Dr. Harper hy-

pothesizes that societies where the
status of women is low have social
systems which tend to keep them

To substantiate this hypothesis,
Dr, Harper proceeded to describe

_| the peculiarly asymmetrical balance

of power between the males and
females of thet Havit Brahman, a
relatively wealthy caste, and the
occurrence of suspected poisonings
‘by women, primarily widows. Such
poisoning does not occur in neigh-

'| boring castes where women are not
‘| placed in an entirely subordinate

position to men.

The poisoning itself is probably
more a myth than a fact. It is
said to come from a single drop
of the blood of saliva of one spe-
cies of lizard which can easily be
concealed in food. Following its
ingestion, a ball of food is said to
slowly accumulate in the digestive
system of the victim who, if un-
treated before the end of 3 months,
will die within 6 months. The poi-
son is neutralized if eaten with
salt; however, it is considered an
insult to one’s host to ask for salt,
since in doing so you are admitting
that you suspect him of being a
murderer, . Certain symbolic ob-
jects can ‘also be used to prevent
fatality if the disease is diagnosed
sufficiently early.

Although men frequently pre-
pare food, it is always women, and
generally widows, who are suspect-
ed by the community, though spe-
cific names are not usually men-
tioned. Dr. Harper hypothesizes
a link between this accepted guilt
of the widows and their. extreme-
ly low social status,

The widows represent the lowest
form of womanhood, although all
women are held in low esteem.
Since the treatment of wives is.
bad, daughters are treated with
great love by their own families to
make recompense for the treatment
which they will later receive, and
married daughters visiting their
homes are treated with paritcular
love, and affection never bestowed
on a daughter-in-law.

.Though women are held in a
submissive position, there is great
fear of them and special precau-

between them. Thus, an ambiguity
exists for, at different times, wom-
en are treated with varying de-
grees of love and hatred. This
ambiguity, Dr. Harper feels, cre-
ates a feeling of guilt and a nat-.
ural suspicion that a person so
unjustly treated will consequently
engage in covertly dangerous ac-
tivity. Whether such activity does
indeed. exist is subject to doubt;

the suspicion of criminality and
the women sink to an ever-lower
social status in a self-perpetuating



cycle.

The Internationa] Student Rela-
tions Seminar is t> be held this
summer for. an eleven-week period
from June 18 to September 1 at
the University of Pennsylvania
and the University of Wisconsin.

Students are chosen for their
leadership ability, and the pro-
gram is designed to provide these
student leaders with the necessary
background and skills to deal with

contemporary problems of interna-
tional relations as ‘they exist
among national and internation-
al student organizations in all
parts of the world.

International student affairs are
approached in a number of ways.
Politisal, sicial and economic prob-
lems or trends and psychological
orientations peculiar to particular
nations or regions are considered
as they mold and nurture student
attitudes. The postwar develop-
ment of. formal organizations of
international student cooperation
is studied as are the current prob-
lems and policies of the national
student organizations in all parts
of the world. These policies are
considered in relation to the Amer-
ican national student union,
USNSA, and other national organ-
izations,

Graduates of the Seminar have
often used their experience for as-

Returning to Freshman Show,
the dancer remarked on the won-
derful enthusiasm demonstrated by
the cast and stage crew. Their
willingness to work, she declares,
makes the director’s job a contin-
uous pleasure.

“Some of my work is just a
matter of accidental decisions,”
she remembered, “The day we had
to decide what our show color was
going to be, I was wearing a lav-
ender dress, Our show color is
lavender.” Nicole paused, then
added, “It’s going to be a terrific
show, Only I wish.I weren’t so
nervous about it,”
