Mme. Jambor And String Quartet Join
In Memorial Concert for President Park

by Kristine Gilmartin
Marion Edwards Park, President
of Bryn Mawr from 1922-1942,

could have had no lovelier tribute |:

than the concert in her memory
given by the Curtis String Quar-
tet ‘with pianist Agi Jambor, yes-
terday evening in Goodhart, The
program and performances were
outstanding.

The audience rose as Mme. Jam-
bor began the concert with a Bach
Chorale. Her absolute clarity and
delicacy of expression made this
the epitome of serene simplicity.

Beethoven’s Quartet in B flat
Major, one of the later ones writ-
ten after the Ninth Symphony,
was a tremendously moving ex-
perience which left the audience
limp after its exhausting intensity.
rlOando Cole, the cellist, explain-
ed that the quartet would play
the work not as Beethoven wrote
it, but as he had ‘first intended to
write it, with the magnificent
“Grosse Fugue” as the conclusion.

The first movement was one of
contrast and conflict, now tender,
now agitated. Questions were rais-
ed here that were not solved until
the concluding fugue: ‘The second,
which has been described as “open
war”, brought swift responses in
anger from the several instru-
ments.

The third was quieter ,with a
melody led by the first violin (so
excellently done throughout by
Jasha Brodsky) and some deep
and harmonious pizzacato sections.

movement agaim but much tem-
pered. . The “‘Cavatine”, called the
most/compassionate music Beeth-
ever wrote, was tenderly and
werfully played by the entire
roup: Mr. Brodsky, Mehli Mehta,
Max Aronoff, ad Mr. (Cole.

The came the “Grosse Fugue”’—
a shock at first, always powerful,
and almost frighteningly. intense.
“Beethoven snapped his fingers at
the world,” ‘Mr. (Cole quoted Chopin
about this truly modern piece of
music with a message to convey
beyond mere beauty.

The power and perfection of the
Beethoven could” not~be_equalled,
but the Shubert Quintetin A. Op.
114, “‘Forellen” was wholly de-







lightful and restored the listeners’
equilibrium after the overwhelm-
ing experience of the Quartet’s
“Grosse Fugue”. The flowing mel-
odies enhanced by the superb
blending of instruments (bass,
Stuart Sankey, and piano, Mme.
Jambor, now added) created the

pastoral, stream-like atmosphere
at once.
The “Theme and Variations”

section ‘is well known and had
every bit of its proper vivacity and
love of life. The Quintet sent the
delighted audience smiling home.
This concert, Bryn Mawr’s trib-
ute to Marion ‘Edwards Park, was
truly impressive and shofld be
long remembered.



Bachrach Analyzes

Coming Election;

Discusses Issues Sunday For SCM

(Mr. Peter Bachrach spoke to the
Student Christian Movement last
Sunday at-the.Lower Merion Bap-
tist Church on “The Meaning of
the Coming Election.” “Actually,”
Mr. Bachrach explained, “we pick-
ed that title so I could talk about
anything I want, and that’s what
I’m going to do!”

“What is a rational approach to
selection?” he asked. In consider-
ing the peace issue, shall we ask
ourselves, “which candidate and
party will keep us out of war?”
or “which will contribute most to

world peace?”



Tillich Probes Religious Ideas

Present In East

Mr. Paul Tillich, one of the
world’s most distinguished theo-
logians, delineated and evaluated
“The Religious Encounter of Hast
and West” for the first of Inter-
faith’s once-a-month lecture ser-
ies, Friday evening, October 21,
in Goodhart Hall.

The technical unity of our world
has made permanent what were
previously only brief encounters
through trade or conquest. They
are already a little more than mere
meetings; we are in an interest-
ing intermediate stage. As an ex-
ample, Mr; Tillich mentioned the
popularity of American jazz rec-
ords in the African desert. But
all the technical, political, and cul-
tural encounters spring from an
ultimate spiritual source.

Indirect Encounters

Of course. there were always mis-
sionary activities by Christianity,
Islam, and Buddhism, but there
were other indirect encounters
which were more significant, To
define East and West more clearly,
Mr. Tillich differentiated between
“Israel+born religions”: Christian-
ity, Judaism, and Islam; and “India-
born religions”: Buddhism, Hindu-
ism, and Taoism. The groups have
conflicts within themselves, but
were put together to show more

And West

Africans and Asians-whose religion
is “sacramental”, or primitive.

The most important religious en-
counter today between East and
West is that of Buddhism ‘and
Christianity. (When Mr. Tillich
talked with Buddhist scholars,
priests, and monks on his recent
trip to Japan, there was no hostil-
ity; both groups tried to be hon-
est. The two religions can agree
on the idea of an ultimate reality,
something that transcends time
and space and is infinite.

Ideals Differ

However, the symbol of crea-
tion, (not the myth taken literal-
ly), the basis of all Western cul-
ture, the idea that goodness "is in
the essential nature of everything
created, Buddhism would not un-
derstand. The goal of the individ-
ual in the two religions is also very
different. The Christian ideal is
the fulfillment of personal poten-
tialities, but Buddhism is concern-
ed with the “formless self’, where
there is no subjective or objective
consciousness. Here there is no ul-
timate affirmation of the person.
This difference in the basic valua-
tion of the person is most impor-
tant.

The ethical values in the two
cultures are also contrasting. In
Christianity a decision’ has “ultim-

ate seriousness” for. the present ||

Neither party, he contended, will
contribute to peace. Both parties
favor great military strength, sim-
ply because preparation for war
is so ingrained-in-our_way of life.
Pressure groups put us in an arms
race which we can never win—and
even if we could the results would
probably fbe disastrous. “Assum-
ing success in the arms race,”
said Mr. Bachrach, “it may dawn
on the i\American people that war
is not obsolete, that we could build
enough underground shelters to
sustain us—in short, Might might
start its own war.”

Issue of Faces

“By this argument, we would
vote Republican,” he said. The
“tax boys” would constitute the
“pressure group.” But we must
also consider the Democratic point
of view: increasing war expendi-
tures but at the same time at-
tempting to solve domestic prob-
lems. “As for myself,” he con-
tinued, “there is no choice—one of
the candidates’ faces I can’t stand
looking at, and the other I can
tolerate!”
Policy Conflict

“The main problem,” he said,
“ig that. neither candidate ques-
tions, or even seéms to realize,
that there is am all too great con-
flict between their policies of arm-
ed strength on fhe one hand, and

disarmament on the other. The
forces of peace,” he concluded,
‘ie not in America, but in the
uncommitted nations, such as In-
dia. I do not agree, however, |

feel that we are no better off than
Russia, for we can change; they
cannot.” a

Mixed Humor

Delights Critic;

Holds Audience Alert, Happy

by E. Anne Eberle ’61

Vanity and Virtue was a success.

The atmosphere from the ami-

ably smiling lion on the program-cover to the amiably chuckling audi-
ence which finally left Goodhart was one of good-humored nonsense

and even occasional good-humored sense.

What probably saved this

junior show where others have gone under was the fact that it made
almost no pretetises: to plot (there was a sudden storm of it in the

vicinity of the second act, but the show remained undamaged); to char-

acter development (there was room in all the parts for the actresses
to play a bit, but no one was center-stage long enough to be called the

Central Character); to all the little Bryn Mawr-type witticisms which

are generally scattered through script and lyrics to ensure at least a

laugh or two at intervals.

Diversity

of Humor

A laugh or two at intervals of thirty seconds was more the case

with puns (“You simply can’t put
Descartes before the horse”) with
satire (“That’s what’s wrong with
English teddy -boys — we need

prise-ending lines (“I’ve worked
very hard-to_raise my daughters
and I don’t intend to see their-im-
aginations restricted by the facts,”
or “eat, drink, and be wary”) with
plain old slapstick (the vacuum-
bomb that milked every cow with-
in five miles.)

Variety was the word of the
hour. Not only did the show con-
tain the most delightful, unlikely
set of characters which has grac-
ed Goodhart stage in some years
(exclusive perhaps of the evidently
moribund faculty shows?), but it

also managed to squeeze In a love-
scene, usually~the fidgety-blushy
portion of class shows, which
would have warmed the heart of
the American Tobacco Company;
a death scene with more false fin-
ishes than the Olympics had false
starts; a marriage proposal graced
at one time with Christopher Mar-
lowe and Sandwich #9; a rock ’n
roll session which may revolution-
ize stepsings; and two non-essen-
tial, but enjoyable, grim detectives
mostly given to autobiography.
The audience laughed gleefully
when it was suddenly reminded,, at
the opening of the last scene, as
the entire cast minced about in

ludicrous combination, of the fan-

tastic array of characters which
had trotted on and off.

Casting was certainly one of the
glories of the show. All the char-
acters stayed within their parts,
though perhaps the epitome of this
was Lady Trilby, who turns out
to be ‘Abby Wootton, but who cer-
tainly never suggested it during
the show. With monocle and hand-
kerchief and twisting hands she

ple were “on camera” and another
half-dozen or so forced to do social-
looking exercises in the back-
ground. Lady Trilby and several

; Writer-director Cottler produced that rarity, a consistently
funny show, and-she did it by mixing different kinds of humor, so the
audience was constantly alert—the larger Saturday night crowd was

Angela, played by Katherine Yab-

possible to overdo, and Katy oozed
with every bit of charm and tacky

ette-waving entrance to her death-
by-poison collapse. Good judgment
was exercised in inserting Angela

grinding tendency which arose
whenever she was on stage. .

If Martha Webb, as Lucinda, had
been put on stage merely to render
the song “You Simply Can’t Trust
a Man” she would have been valu-
able to the show without further
ado. Her performance as the sweet
young heroine, who seems destined
to slip daintily through each show
with hands clasped behind back,
was certainly adequate and at
times very strong (her handling of
the whole filter routine was a su-

-perb dose of farce, which has a

tendency to slip either into eorn
or complete ineffectiveness). But
she sent her one song sizzling out
into the audience with such verve
that one regrets that she had only
the one occasion, and the effect
of the many group songs was per-
haps diminished by the sharpness
of her solo performance.

Louise Weingarten, as Geoffrey,
did very well as a character who
seemed always to be playing to
someone else when he was on stage.

On Letters Received

-.Most people like getting letters, and so do most news-
papers. Letters mean interest, and interest is what news-
papers are around to create; letters also mean information,
and information is what newspapers hope to convey. The
News, then, is pleased on two counts with what has come in
in this week’s mail—the letters from students registering
approval of our last week’s challenge and those from the

faculty protesting one of the methods proposed for meeting

it. (See Letters to Editor).

On the basis of the interest indicated in the first men-
tioned missives (re: foster child) and the information offer-
ed in the second (on Moral Re-armament) we can only con-
clude that problems are (alack) a lot easier to spot than so-
lutions. We, therefore, restate the predicament—that is,
the desperate need for communication of world-awareness—
and add our hope that if a more satisfactory nostrum is not
forthcoming, perhaps recognition of the problem will be a
solution in itself.

A Pileable Panacea

With the constant cropping up of issues on campus the
News has grown weary trying to treat each one individu-
ally. We have, therefore, found it necessary to formulate
a composite solution to all conceivable issues which might
arise within the next decade. Leaves, we believe, properly
employed can solve anything. One great pile of them in
front of the library, set up sun-dial-like, might make it poss-
ible for one to tell time by the shadow of a strategically-
- placed black elm leaf, because (Issue 1) hour-glasses and
clocks located in the library or Taylor do always offer some
_ time, but not always The time. é :

Then, too, as one hobbles out of Taylor, enraged by in-
humanities of professors or contorted beyond repair through
having had to temporarily sacrifice the customary position
of one’s spine or right arm to an ill-placed desk-leg, or (this
is Issue 2) a writing surface which is aimed at an angle per-
pendicular to the: floor, one may pounce fiercely on the pile
to rid one’s self of hostilities or return one’s bones to their
proper ent. —

Considering, moreover, ‘our forced isolation (Issue 3)
which is caused by a two-month busy-signal delay of phone

calls, it would appear valuable to establish the area of leaves
~ as @ place for meeting people, installing phone booths; or-at
t, holding seances.

Just before the commonly accepted time for snow, the
pile could be burned. The light resulting from this blaze
could be bottled, bottles placed strategically in the library to
provide proper lighting (Issue 4). The money saved from
not having to purchase lighting facilities could be appropri-
ated for. pianos (Issue 5), the present. popularity of. such
miniscule picayune things as ocarinas and harmonicas among
the musically inclined being directly attributed to the present
paucity of pianos for practice. |

Issues then being issues and abounding in number, it
seems upon due consideration that we certainly do need a
pile of leaves. |

To the Editor:

I have just seen your editorial on.

and hasten to add my reaction to
the considerable response that it
will no doubt be eliciting.

I am astonished, net to say
shocked, to encounter this senti-
ment in the Bryn Mawr student
paper, of. all places. Let me com-
mend most. earnestly to the staff
—in its own words— a “thorough
examination on all levels of its
(Moral Re-armament) precepts
and purposes,” an examination
to include, I would suggest, its
leadership, its prevailing con-
cepts of man and society, the na-
ture of its support, and its record
of past performance. This investi-
gation, needless to say, will carry
you well beyond the movement’s
own handbook.

Sincerely yours,

and it is to them that this commun-
ication is addressed.

I should think “Moral Re-arma-
|ment” might best de described as a
kind of white-collar, or: gutless,
fascism. In the thirty years since
it was launched as the “First-Cen-
tury Christian Fellowship” it has
been one of the more remarkable
pheonomena in the intellectual un-
derworld of our times. Its powers
of endurance are probably rooted
in its exceptional powers of self-
publicity, which are only a little
less sophisticated than its powers
of self-congratulation. (It is mas-
terful in eliciting testimonials from
non-English-speaking foreign
statesmen.) As the News editorial-
ist observed, it has not lacked sup-
porters—who, like the supporters
of the 27% “per cent tax exemption
granted the oil industry—are of

‘|theygort that has little difficulty

in paying for full-page ads in The
New York Times and for the dis-
tribution of 177. million booklets
across the world.
Originally a harmless evangelical

movement which was once labeled,
rather flatteringly, ‘a Salvation
Army for the middle classes”, it
turned sometime in the late 1930's
into the more profitable pastures
of Anti-communism. One can say
of it that it has shown a peculiar
tolerance in choosing allies. Thus
in 1936 its leader, Dr. Buchman,
wrote: “I thank heaven for a man
like Adolf Hitler, who built a front
line_of.defence-against~ the anti-
Christ of Communism.” “Think,”
he went on, “what it would mean
to the world if Hitler surrendered
to the control of God. Through
such a man God could control a

|nation overnight and solve every

last bewildering problem.” (Two
years later, in 1938, according to
the newest version of Dr. Buch-
man’s periodically reconstructed
contribution to Who’s Who, he was
sponsoring the self-styled “Nordic
Assembly for MRA”.)

If this inconvenient historical
data seems to impute a degree of
guilt-by-association, it will have
served its purpose.

Those interested in the public
history and present reputation of
“Moral . Re-armament” are refer-
red to two articles in the British
press earier this year. One is in the
New Statesman for June 4, 1960,
and I have put it on reserve at
the main circulation desk in the
library. The other is in The Econ-
omist for May, 1960, but unfortun-.
ately is just now at the bindery.
It should be back in the library
shortly.

In Africa, Student Meets
‘Adventure Every Second’

by Alison Baker

“I’m not sure whether I left part
of me in Africa or part of Africa
in-me,” said Jan Douglass, speak-
ing of her summer as a participant
in a program called “Crossroads
Africa.”

The group first spent one month
in the jungle on a work project,
and then about a month and a half
traveling in Africa. + The site of
the work project was in the Cam-,
eroons, 200. miles into the bush.
The group lived with the Kaka peo-
ple and built them a church. “We
were supposed to build”a church
for 1000 people, with nothing to
go by exeept some vague plans
drawn up by an MIT student.”
This required much _ ingenuity:
breaking rocks into pebbles, and

using beer bottles in cement col-
umns for stained glass windows.

In general, Jan was not favor-
ably impressed with the mission-
aries, most of whom were Ameri-
‘can Presbyterians. “They were
not good Christians or good repre-
sentatives of America.” She quot-
ed one as saying, “I didn’t come
out-here-to-lovethese people. I
came out to preach the gospel.”
However, she did meet a couple of
missionary families who were do-
ing a fine job.

The missionaries treated Jan’s
group just as workers, but the
Africans did everything possible
to be ‘friendly: “We got to know
the Africans, and to understand
the--village.After-a dinner of
‘Fufu’ and monkey meat, we talk-
ed with African students - (in
French). The king would send
his drummers and dancers, and
soon we were doing the drumming
and dancing ourselves.”

Gorilla Reincarnation

“In the bush,” Jan remarked,
“you get used to bugs. One day a
gorilla came into the village. The
Africans have a superstition that
the dead come back as gorillas.
You just have to talk to them and
tell them to go ‘back to the dead.”

The fact that they were working
together made it easy for the mem-
bers of the group and the Africans

who helped, to get to know and|/

trust one another. A few Amer-
icans suffered from cultural shock,
but only ome was sent home—be-
cause of sickness. On weekends
they were free to go off to other
small villages. Jan started fre-
quenting the local night club, which
had ‘good cross-section of people.

In that particular county of the
Cameroons, there is a big division
betweeen civil and tribal law, which
causes great confusion. The king
still has the real avenue to the
people, but he co-operates with
the Prefect. Once, when the Cross-
roads Africa group discovered
some clothes missing, they had to
resort to the king’s bodyguard, as

the gendarmerie was no use in
finding -them,.__

“When we left (the village) I’ve
never been so sad in my life. We
had a dedication of the church,
and it seemed to be a lasting mon-
ument.in friendship as well as a
building.”

Luxurious Brice

In her travels after leaving the
Cameroons, Jan was impressed
with the luxury and beauty of the
big cities. “None of these coun-
tries is as poor as the Cameroons.
In Ghana we saw what is known
as the most beautiful college in
the world.” All over Africa they
met with tremendous warmth,
hospitality and kindness, The Af-

“American.group had invited some |’

Africans to dinner, and mistaken-
ly put all the food out on the table,
which meant that they had to go
hungry while their guests took
away what they hadn’t finished.

Ugly Americans

“There is an adventure every
single second. Every time’ you
turn around you meet someone
interesting.” The Africans are
very proud of their cultural. heri-
tage. They are also very anxious
to come to the United States to
study, and education of any sort
is highly prized. Technicians and
teachers from other countries are
in great demand, and are given
every possible advantage in the
way of help and housing.

In speaking of Afro-American
relations, Jan remarked that “some
of the American embassy officials
are real ‘ugly Americans’.” Also,
articles of racial discrimination in
the States appear in African news-
papers. “I was asked many em-
barrassing questions. They’re very
|concerned with the color question.”
Schweitzer is by no means univer-
sally popular. Many smashed him
saying he has no feeling for the
African people; and-plays the-role
of a great white father.

“IT have nothing but thanks and
admiration for the African peo-
ple,” Jan said; “and so many of
them sent their heartfelt hellos
and greetings to America and the
American people.” However, she '
also mentioned the intense threat
of Communism. “All of Africa

from anyone.” |So far, Russia has
been much more forward than the
United (States in offering that
much-needed aid.

Record Club Buys

Tebaldi And Frost,

Other New Works

by Isa Brannon

It is true that the News editorial

board is occasionally prone to dis-
agreement, especially during’’ na-
tional elections. However, there is
one thing to which we give .our
unanimous approval,
the record library.

and that is

Some of the new records the

library has purchased this year
include: Tosca, the complete Ren-
ata Tebaldi recording; Robert Frost
Reads. His Poetry;
Night’s Dream; and Falla’s Nights
in the Gardens of Spain. It can be
seen from this sample list that
the library includes selections for
all tastes. There are several Arch-
ive albums, which even the con-
noiseurs can rarely find or afford.
One of these is a Pergolesi album.

Midsummer

One reason that the library~is

a must for even those with an am-
ple record collection is that it_off-
ers recordings of little-known can-
tatas and operas. which either are
no longer Made or which one
might not care to own, but want
to hear. For the people who are
just starting collections, the library
offers the opportunity for listening
before deciding to buy. And too,
for the old-fashioned types whose

‘victrolas” play only 78s, there is

a large selection at the record

Faculty Poll Favors Kennedy Ticket

whereas it would be a ‘much health-
ier attitude to face the facts.

eign and domestic affairs are, it
seems. to me, fundamentally the
same behind a smoke screenof
political jangon. Given the sim-
ilarities of premises the choice of
candidates reduces itself largely
to a question of personality. In
this respect, I find Nixon’s efforts
to present himself in a dignified
image rather cloying. Further-
more, I don’t see how the kitchen
debate prepares him- better for
the presidency. On the other hand,
Kennedy seems at least to show a
more dynamic and frank approach
in the campaign, I admit that my
reasons for preferring Kennedy
are not the most forceful but they
represent the only positive basis
for judgment in the campaign for
me.”

Mr. Schneider: Favors Kennedy,
“reluctantly.” He feels that. Nixon
is a “radical of the right and Ken-
nedy is the true conservative of
our times.” °



Miss Lehr: “I really don’t know.
I have never known less.” This
indecision has” persuaded her to
purchase a _ television set in order
to follow the campaign.as closely
as possible. She vividly remembers
highlights of previous elections
and recalls the time she changed
her mind because of a last minute
foreign policy speech. However,
in the forthcoming election, she
fears that her vote will be cast
not so much in favor of one can-
didate as against his opponent.
a ,
Mrs.\Livingston: “Well, I’m un-
decided. I’m a Republican who
hasn’t made up her mind.”





Miss Stearns: “My opinions are
not completely formulated yet. .
On the whole I’m probably leaning
towards Kennedy, but I’m still
reading on it. I’m still reading
books about the different views of
the candidates, and I haven’t even
read Kennedy’s speeches yet which
is the next thing I intend to do.

“I think that Lodge has done
very well, but unfortunately he’s
not running for president. I like
many of Kennedy’s stands, but, as
I say, I have to study it more.”



Miss Hoyte: “As the election
grew nearer I grew more and more
unhappy on the basis of the Demo-
cratic platform. Mr. Kennedy was
leaving me more and more unhap-
py, but Mr. Nixon was leaving me
still more unhappy, and so a few
days ago I came to the conclusion
that, although not completely sold
on Mr. Kennedy, that Mr. Kennedy
will be my choice.



Mr. Michels: “I can’t: vote for
either candidate with a clear con-
science.”



Mr. Mallory: “There are two rea-
sons why I am voting for Kennedy.
One is objective and the other
subjective. (Subjectively I trust
Mr. Kennedy and I don’t trust Mr.
Nixon.” This impression of the
two candidates was gained from
their debates and from their cam-
paign gpeeches. “Objectively, I
was in.California at the time when-
Nixon conducted his campaigns
for a seat in the House and later
on for a seat im the Senate. The
dirty political campaign he waged
there made me wonder about his
qualifications for the Presidency.”

and eleven other faculty members
last May. Professor Nelson gave}
the history and decisive character-

—{stics of non-violent action as out-|

lined by the Rev. Martin Luther
King in his book Strides Toward
Freedom.

The conference re-convened Sat-
urday at 10:00 A. M. with a panel
discussion on community problems.
The chairman was Mr. Larry
of the Commission on

Mr. Judge Allen, of the Urban

‘League on Employment, Mr. James

Baker, of the N. A. A. C. P. on
Open Market Housing, Mr. Irving
Pankin, of the Jewish Labor Com-
mittee on Labor and Integration
in the North, and Mr. Anthony
Vega, of the Puerto Rican Migra-
tion Division. The panelists spoke
on their particular fields, and an-
swered questions relating to pos-
sibilities for solution of the prob-
lems they had presented.

At 11:30 A. M., the conference
split up into small ‘discussion
groups. Each group discussed one
aspect of campus problems, such
as fraternities and sororities, cam-
pus housing, and college employ-
ment and placement services.

After lunch, there was another
panel discussion of the Southern
portents of Civil Right. The Rev.
Gilbert Doan, ofthe Lutheran stu-
dents’ Association, cited examples

from the Old and New Testaments
applicable to Civil Rights action.
Mr, Edward Hollander explained
the differences in the Southern and
‘Northern students’ use of non-vio-
lent action. He said that the South-
ern students tend to view non-vio-
lence as more than a technique for
achieving freedom, but that this
ideological difference does in no
way divide the groups. Both Mr.
Oppenheimer and Mr. Walters,
(who had just returned from an
N.S. A. discussion with chain-store
executives), stated and document-
ed the belief that integration of
Southern. schools and chain-store
lunch counters has just begun, and
that continued efforts are needed
to achieve a-full integration.
After the panel discussion, a
plenary session of the conference
voted to accept a pledge dedicating
it to non-violence as a means of
affecting Civil Rights.

The conference adjourned, after
which a meeting of the Philadel-
phia Coordinating Committee for

Civil Rights, sponsor of the con-

ference, elected its new chairman,
Mr. Edward Hollander. The group
also discussed plans for an elec-
tion day demonstration, involving
stuents from. local colleges.

Mr. Kline And Film Form

Engaging ‘Double Feature

by Berna Landsman

The Soviet Union Today was
the title of the excellent Julian
Bryan documentary film shown in
the Biology Lecture Room last Wed-
nesday afternoon, but Mr. Kline’s
comments after the film were, for
many, the most interesting part
of this unusual “double-feature.”
Mr, George Kline, a new Associate

‘Professor in Philosophy and Rus-
sian this year, has traveled exten-
-Sively~ in the UiS:S.R., once very
recently, and thetetore had many
first-hand experiences with which
to illustrate his points.

Living Conditions

Although the Russians have a
“functioning system,” there are,
Mr. Kiine contended, many incon-
sistencies within it. First, there
is a great contrast between high-
ly-developedscience ~and~ technol=
ogy and the primitive way of life
of the people. Although housing
conditions are very poor, with few
people having running water and
not even the wealthiest having hot
water, the Russians spend tremen-
dous sums of money on rockets

‘and missiles. “But since Sputnik,”
added Mr. Kiine, “many more peo-
ple have become aware of this
sharp contrast.”

Russian Women

The Soviet attitude toward wom-
en, he pointed out, is also quite
inconsistent. Women do manual
and many other types of labor
right along with men, In the field
of medicine, women have distin-
guished themselves. ‘“Albout two-
thirds of the doctors are women,”
he said. “Yet there are few women
professors, writers, or orchestra
members. And of course it is un-
feminine for women to smoke in
public, or drink.”

There is also an ambivalence in.
cultural matters. One finds_a rev-
erence for older Russian art, but.
not for such moderns as Kandin-
sky or. Chagall, who are rarely, if
ever, shown. Yet the works of the
French Impressionists, and some
16th and 17th century art is shown

-—but not reproduced and hung in
students’ rooms, for instance, as
here. [The government’s attitude
toward Pasternak ‘was typical;
Doctor Zhivago was denounced as
“depressing,” yet new editions of
Pasternak’s translations (of “ap-
proved” writings) have recently
appeared. (No mention was made
of Pasternak’s death in the Soviet
papers. “Despite continuous at-
tempts,” added Mr. Kline, “I was
unable to wisit Pasternak’s grave.
Apparently it is feared that its
opening to the public might result
in its becoming a sort of shrine,
which would be ‘most undesirable’
‘from the government’s point of
view.” ’

Mr, Kline also spoke of the “cul-
tural underground” which “came
close to the surface until after
Hungary in 1956. In such regions
as Georgia, outside Russia itself,
it is still quite close. Lyric poetry,
painting, and, to some extent,

__seulpture,are—circulated broadly.’
He told the story of a young, and
of course unpublished, new poet,
who, in giving a poetry reading
before a large audience, fongot the
next line, and hesitated a moment
to look down at his notebook. Tears

aulience in unison recited the
next line.

‘Public signs giving social advice
are prevalent. Typical ones say:
“Shine your shoes. It will length-
en their wear and improve your
political appearance”; “Don’t drink
while boating.” And in the Lenin
library. there-is- a~ sign, “intended
for staff members to read, “Clean-
liness and order will help you to
live longer and serve your country
better.” —

Mr. Kline reported an “increas-
ing vitriolic campaign against
Americans. It seems that the So-
viets,” he said, “want to have their
tourists and eat them too.”

After the Powers’ trial, Mr.
Kline did not notice much change
in the attitude of the Russian peo-
ple themselves. In conclusion, he
cited as an example the humble
and unreported act of a typical
Russian peasant, who, on seeing
the grief-stricken mother of Lt.
Powers after the trial, hastily
thrust a small flower into her cab
and said, “We can appreciate how
much you must be suffering,” and
then disappeared in the. crowd.

fairs. Ballots will be distribut-

Friends Of Music

»Sponsor Concerts,

Provide Workshops

_by Alison Baker

The “Friends of Music” was
started six years ago, by a group
of people who thought that there
was too little stress on music at
Bryn Mawr. They wanted to have
concerts and also workshops in
which the artist would give an in-
formal talk followed by discussion.
This would provide a more intim-
ate.view of the artist, his instru-
ment’and music. -

Mrs. Lewis, chairman of the
Friends of: Music, who explained
all about the group and its pur-
pose, stressed that these workshops

are for anyone, including those].

who_know_very-—little-about~music:
They are not serious seminars, as
the title might imply.

The members of the Friends of
Music fall into two categories.
There are about fifty alumnae, in-
terested in furthering the cause of
music’ at Bryn Mawr, and about
two hundred members who live in
the area and like to go to the con-
certs, It is through this member-
ship that the concerts are financed,
and as a result there is no charge
to students for either the concerts
or the workshops.

The program, which is chosen
by a planning committee, depends
partly on finances, but it is also
designed to try to give as varied a
program as possible in a four-
year period, or a student’s term
at college.

The first of the two Friends’ of
Music concerts this year will take
place on November. 2. The program
is not yet definite, but the artists
are Mr. Kincaid (flute), Mr. Bru-
silow (violin) and (Mr. Sokoloff
(piano).
bers of the faculty are encouraged
to come to the concert and to a
workshop given by Mr. Kincaid
on November 3.

All students and mem-

by Ellen Rothenberg

“The role of the philosopher of
science,” explained Mrs, Marjorie
Grene, Lucy Martin Dornelly Fel-
low for this year, who will be
working at Queens College in Bel-
fast, “is to examine the thinking
of scientists and to try to. deter-
mine the influences: which direct
their work.”

Mrs, Grene believes that a sci-
entist begins his work with certain
pre-established conceptions of what
he will find. These pre-supposi-
tions are what determine his ini-
tial hypotheses and lines of inves-
tigation. |
_ Year’s Events

Mrs. eons s particular field of
inquiry is evolution. She hopefully
confided her intention of complet-
ing a book on this subject during
the coming year. Her presence at
Bryn Mawr is only temporary. It
is customary for each year’s Lucy
Martin Donnelly Fellow to visit
the college briefly and deliver a
lecture or two.

“TI particularly enjoyed the tea
with the Philosophy Club,” she said
in typically exuberant fashion.

Personal History

(Mrs. Grene’s paper was on “Cause
es” and dealt with the importance
—or unimportanice — assigned to
“cause” by philosophers and sci-
entists. The night before (October
19), she lectured on “Kant and His
Contemporaries.”

Turning for a moment from phi-
losophy, Mrs. Grene sketched some
of her history.

present might come to be as im-
portant as it is to Christians, but
the majority of Buddhists still be-

existences they will eventually get

Buddhism has not the goal of so-

> Zen and the Ultimate

The East has not yet affected
the West very much except per-
haps in the case of the liberal
Protestants who now look to Zen
Buddhism to exchange the object-
ive Christian symbols for the non-
objective, non-concrete symbols of
the East. Zen dhism can also
give an ultimate dimension to daily
life, and for many people it is also
a release from moralistic Protes-
tanism. However, Mr. Tillich point-

Today the most important en-

Nationalism is the first of the
quasi-religions of the West whose
great impact is being felt in Africa
and Asia. Attacking other re-
ligions as colonialist, it has replac-
ed religion since it has what con-
cerns the people ultimately. This
is already the case in Europe.
Nazism and Fascism show the ul-
timate expression of the doctrine.

Survival of Religion

Religion is on the defensive to-

there is no ideology that does not
have ultimate concern for some-
thing. The question is ; will re-

ognizes the importance of the hu-

enough, so I went to Wellesley in-
stead.”

She affectionately described her
studies abroad after college and
added that she had returned -to
the United States in 1985 to work
for and receive her Ph.D. degree
at Radcliffe.

“Since then,” she remembered,
“I have been at the University of
‘Chicago, at Queens College in
Belfast and, last year, at Leeds in
England.”

On the subject of education, the
-scholar-“was vehémeéent in her dis-
approval of science-conscious
schools,

“We must acquire knowledge of
the world and its people, by study-
ing the humanities, to balance our
abstract knowledge,” she declared.
“It is wonderful to have an atom
bomb, produced by scientific gen-
ius, but we must also have the un-
derstanding to use it well.”

Regarding public feeling towards
American politics in Great Brit-
ain, Mrs. Grene-said-that most peo-
ple are anxious to seea Demo-
cratic victory in the coming elec-
tion.

“Naturally their interest is in
foreign policy,” she said, “They
eel that the Republicans are not
ina position to improve interma-
tional relations. Most of them are
really Stevenson supporters,” she
added. “They can’t see how we
can choose anyone but the best
man.”

the missILE has faded. The whole
“string quartet”, complete with
leather jackets and frighteningly
authentic expressions, sent not only
their plants in the audience but
some of the paying public as well
into the aisles. In an institution
professing dedication to the high-
est quality in all things, the audi-
ence was not slow to sense the
quality of the “art form.”

In fact, Marita Viglione’s music
(if we may heartlessly cram the
rest of the show’s songs into the
same B-R-O-A4D category with
“Teenage Chicken”) in general was
of a quality mot always seen in class
shows. ‘Only here and there a se-
quence slipped in which any Bryn
Mawrter in the wilds of Australia
or Lapland would recognize as
coming from a class show. And
for the most part the words and

-musi¢ were delightfully coordinat-

ed and did not give the impression
that the music had been forcibly
applied to words which did not
quite fit, or vice-versa. The pos-
sible exception to this was the first
song, “C’est la Vie”, but the poli-
tical lyries .were so acute and

that it scarcely mattered. Starting |].

the show with a song, in fact, was
an extremely effective maneuver.
Because the songs in general were
so good, “Unity” seemed noticeably
stiff and out of place, just as the
few weak lines of dialogue were
revealed only by the over-all
strength, Ironically enough, what
saved “Unity” was the fact that
each of the singers stayed in char-
acter throughout it, and one could
concentrate on them as individuals.

intentionally) was a_ series of

The can-can kick-chorus had no
less and no more to do with any
of the other elements than these
elements had to do with each other,
but by the time the dancers ar-

enjoyed the dancing, which seemed
to have more precision this year;
and perhaps because it made so
little attempt to “be different”, it
was different.

the enormous range of — ah —

full enough to be eredible, but not
cluttered. By using an innovation
on the first setting to procure an
ostensibly different one for the
final scene, set designer Yablonsky
eliminated the Crash-Bang Element
