League Presents

Raymond Pace Alexander, Phil-
adelphia councilman and leading
fighter for civil rights, will be
the League speaker Thursday,
March 20, at 8:30 in the Common
Room, on the topic “Is Integra-
tion the Answer?” Mr. Alexander
will discuss not merely the cur-
rent situation in the South but
also the problems still faced by
northern Negroes,

Civil Rights have occupied Mr.
Alexander’s attention ever since
he graduated from Harvard Law
School in 1923. In his native city
of Philadelphia he served as coun-
‘sel in test cases involving racial
discrimination in schools, theatres,
restaurants, and public institu-
tions. Through this work, for
which he refused to accept pay-
ment, Mr. Alexander was instru-
mental in the city’s gradual de-
segregration to the point where,
as he said in 1951, “Philadelphia
has a new and clearer conscience,
and a more humanistic philosophy
in the field of race relations than
any other city in America.”

Besides his work as City Coun-
cilman representing North-central
Philadelphia (where half the city’s
Negro population lives) Mr. Alex-
ander serves as legal representa-
tive to the American Civil Libert-
ies Union and as Associate Coun-
sel to the Philadelphia Fellowship
Commission on Civil Rights, In
1951, he was chief counsel for the
NAACP in the “Trenton Six” case.
(Six Negroes who had -been con-
demned to death for a murder of
a Trenton storekeeper in 1949
were retried in 1951, through the
efforts of organizations like the
NAACP, which maintained ‘that
their confessions had been forced
out of them. Four were freed, two
sentenced to life imprisonment.)
He has travelled extensively, writ-
ten several pamphlets on. racial
relations, and received honorary
degrees from four universities and
colleges.

League invites everyone inter-
ested to come to hear Mr. Alex-
ander.

On Wednesday, February 26,
the Curriculum Committee gave a
freshman ‘tea, to give the fresh-

majors and their requirements,
courses for next year, orals, and
other such questions.

In connection with the effort of
the Curriculum Committee to in-

which offer major sequences, in
order to assist them in choosing

Howe. Critic Is

Alliance Speaker

On March 24, the Alliance will
present its third major lecturer of
the year. Mr. Irving Howe will
speak on “The Left Wing Intel-
lectuals of America: a_ Retro-
spect.” This topic was chosen be-
cause Mr, Howe believes students
of this generation are not fully
aware of the implications of the
depression era, during which the
American Communist Party and
other left wing parties developed.
Mr. Howe has done concentrated
work in this area of study; his
book on The American Communist

—Common—Room—and—vicinity—in|Party, A Critical History will be

Goodhart for the next two weeks.
The collection was previously
shown at Arts Night.

Painting in oils, watercolor, and
other media; and sculpture in
plaster, metal, and paper are rep-
resented in the exhibition.

4 omg Arts Night Gives Scope to Diversity of Talents
vst ne ameaoe nl Exciting Amalgam of Music, Drama, Dance

Owing to the complex struc-
ture of the arts night program
the arts night review has been
written in three parts, by
three reviewers.

i by Debby Ham

A pleasant medley of art, music,
drama and dance comprised Arts
Night. Each of the nine perform-
ances merits individual attention,
‘out as a whole it was especially
anteresting for the culling of total-
ay original work. At least half of
vhe performances were made up
of Bryn Mawr talent in both
authorship and production, al-
though T. S. Eliot and Mozart
were also capably produced. The
Cathy Lucas provided a

of entertainment, and her antics
were not only amusing, but had
the relevance of an Elizabethan
Look to the on-stage action.

The dramatic treatment of Beth
Carr’s Portrait of a Witch on
Her Last Day, confirmed Beth’s
talent as well as displaying Kathy
Kohhas’, Presumably it was not
written for the express purpose of
dramatization, but the © skillful
rhythm of the prose was shown to
advantage in the oral repetition.

Kathy skillfully modulated her
voice from hysteria (but not unin-
telligible), to the calm resignation
of the words, “then I am a witch,”
and her gestures and movement
were gracefully in keeping with
the sense of the lines.

The —— of Giles (Char-
les Knight) was, perhaps, unneces-
sary, although his colorless tone
and lack of communication with
the witch kept the point of view

from shifting and avoided the

complication of another dimension
probably not intended, by the
author. Tituba (Sue Fox) gave an
impressive, if not needed, drama-
tic finish to the performance.

Arts Council could not have
done better in determining to give
Eliot’s Sweeney Agonistes. The
lines themselves are sufficient to
evoke applause without action, and
as a result the actors probably
could not have done less well, nor
better.

All worked harmoniously to-
gether; for the most part the
lines were swift and clear, al-
though the repartee was sometimes
spoiled by a break in rhythm.

Julliard Quartet
Plays In Series

Harpist Edna Phillips
Also In Program
by Marjolyn deBeus

The
Music presented the third of their
series this year, on Tuesday even-
ing, March 4th. The concert given
by the Julliard String Quartet and
Eéma Phillips, hanpist, included
‘Haydn’s Quartet in B flat major,
Op. 76, No. 4, Peggy Glanville
Hicks’ Concertino Antico for harp
and strings, Debussy’s Danses for
harp and string quartet, and
Beethoven’s Quartet No. 7'in F
major. The programming was
marked by a choice of works, each
of which is representative of a
high-point in its respective style;
the performing, by the artistry of
New /York’s leading resident
quartet and of the former harp-
ist of the Philadelphia Orchestra.

The Haydn Quartet is among
the best-loved of the composer’s
late works, and the Julliard Quart-
et captured its spirit in a beguil-
ing interpretation. Alternating
transparency with drive, they
achieved a wide variety of color
and dynamics. Composer and in-
terpreters were at their most ani-
mated in the boisterous third
movement.

Then followed Peggy Glanville-
Hicks’ Concertino Antico, a work
which thad been commissioned
from the composer by Miss - Phil-
lips. By 20th century standards,
this unpretentious piece is, as its
title would indicate, in a conser-
vative idiom—that is, tonal, mel-
odic and readily accessible to the
listener, It illustrates the “orient-
al” coloring of which Miss Hicks
is a champion. This, and — the
“antico” effect, emanate from the
harp part particularly. The harp
functions alternately as_ soloist
and as integral member of the
concertino group, blending as an
equal with its fellow strings. In
the “Ritual,” the various poten-
tials of the instruments were ex-

“Progress is coming on well,
although we were held up by the
weather,” remarked Miss Mary E.
Gardiner recently concerning the
new Biology and Physics Building.
“Miss~-Gardiner..said that it was
unfortunate that the bad weather
came when it did because it is
impossible to lay bricks when the
temperature is near zero, She also
called attention to the fact that
the Gulph Road wall is up and it
is now possible to see two floors
taking shape. The Biology and
Physics departments expect to
hold classes in the building by
next October, and Miss Gardiner

Miss Gardiner revealed that when
it was very cold the bricklayers
and masons were unable to work;
however the plumbers braved the
cold and continued their labors.
At present the building is sur-
rrounded-by-a-large red scaffolding
from which bricks are lain on the
Gulph Road side. On the oppo-
site side, it is mysteriously cover-
ed by a large green tarpaulin and ¢
the few windows which do exist
are covered by large translucent
sheets of a plastic material.
Most interesting of all, perhaps,

about the skeleton building, is its
elevator. This elevator is an out-
side one and consists of. an open
platform which shakes every time

A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

On a bleak March evening when the blustering winds
bluster, and chill the very marrow of your bones, have you
never sought the friendly warmth, the mellow glow of the
great wurm library, and passed an idle hour watching the
eager multitudes pursue learning in and out of the Reserve
Room? Back and forth they scuttle, enraptured faces, eager
feet, bright red eyes bent on their task,and before them
ranged on the shelves lies all the wisdom of the ages with
class assignments carefully noted. But look not too closely
or among these honest faces and tripping feet you may see
one whose shifty eyes range furtively over her unsuspecting
fellows, whose soft feline tread deceives even the ever-wake-
ful echoes. Like all the rest, she carries a pile of books, and
yet you never truly know, you can only suspect, that pressed
close to her black, beating criminal heart is a stolen reserve
book. Unseen she glides away in the dim light, melting into
the shadows, leaving behind a gaping wound in the order of
the shelves, and an unsigned reserve card.

Suddenly confusion arises. Cries of “It’s gone Y? “T had
it signed out.” “I'll flunk my quiz; I haven’t done the read-
ing,” mingle with indignant protests of “What do you think I
can do about it, I only work here.” The innocent are undone;
slowly, slowly they make their way into the bitter night,
dragging behind the poor torn fragments of their shattered
faith. They are doomed to ignorance. While the sinner too
arises and glides through the black night. Gloating in her
sinful heart, this wolf in sheep’s clothing goes away to feast
alone on stolen wisdom. The perfect crime again has suc-
ceeded. ne

If you confront her all-unsuspecting in broad daylight
and ask her what should be done about the problem of the
reserve room, you will notice her deep concern when, tongue
in cheek she suggests, “Put it on the hpnor system” or “Try
closed shelves.” “The honor system indeed,” you mutter sil-
ently, “Is there then no honor even among thieves T
honor a formal sentiment, only to be called forth according
to rule under the name of a “sense of responsibility”, or ma-
turity, and other formulae.

If we are driven to closed shelves, then we will eliminate
crime in our midst, by removing both the temptation and op-
portunity, but what then of the poor innocents. How their
happy faces will fall, when they must stand in line to have
their books checked out one by one. And yet already they
have been heard t- say they would rather wait in line for
their books than never have them at all. Wretches, their.
sorrow is on your heads; look deep into your evil hearts,’
count the crimes recorded there . . . and repent.

Root and Branch

Of recent months a new activity has gripped the cam-
pus with the recurrent and unfriendly strength associated
with a twinge twang tweak type of chronic malaise: the
activity is tree watching. The successful but unhappy prac-
titioner periodically sees another maple tree bite the grass
between Taylor and Radnor. The occupation’s only pre-
requisite seems to be a fondness for senior row; its onset
usually comes with a roar of buzz-saws at 7:30 a.m: Symp-
toms are diverse and may include fatigue,:- headache, wounded

sensibility, and rheumatic sentiments, separately or all at
eonce. A severe melancholy is not uncommon as a condition
of practise, and souvenir scroungingly has been observed
(maple chips are now at a premium(, while nearly every
tree watcher suffers Acute Curiosity, or Horror Morbidus.
Not unaffected ourselves (“a paper’s gotta have heart,” we
heard Steve somebody, swell City Editor, say in a movie
once), we decided

dalism, counter-Row, or anti-tree, but of sheer bleak neces-
sity. The sad and official word is that death disease and
Maple Blight (perhaps it was a similar ailment, long Luther
Burbank’s bafflement, that carried off the American edible
chestnut in its pioneer prime of production) is sweeping the
country, and with it, the local hoop rolling course and favor-

lite arboreal attraction. But measures have been taken; tree-

lovers take cheer! Professional advice has been sought,
Bartlet and Co., tree surgeons, called in; and appropriate

-|treatment preescribed. This includes removal of dead trees,

and building up the resistance of the living by fertilization.
There is, it seems ,nothing that a samaritan student could
now do such as picking predatory caterpillars off the hapless
deicuoids, or setting smudge-pots under their leafless limbs) ;
even a local arbor day is not presently suitable, as what is
the hardiest variety of tree for the area hasn’t been deter-
mined yet. Bartlett and Co., however, is currently working
on this problem.

In the meantime, we feel able only to fix our eyes with set-
tled gloom upon the ever-opening gap in the Row, and think
bitter thoughts upon sturdier alternatives to the maple tree.
Will we one May day be forced to carom madly down through

-|Senior Hedge? Or, as has been suggested, should seniors be

ericouraged to weave paterns in the hoop rolling? as a kind
of spring slalom, one supposes. Again, perhaps two stone
walls, painted green... or (from still another source) per-
haps an electric fence, metal hoops, and a super magnet at

the other day to do a bit of gum shoe and ||

the finish line.

More in keeping with college atmosphere

might be a nice 17th century box maze, wtih an appropriate
prize such‘as the complete works of Kafka or a one-way tic-

ket to Dartmouth, at the center of it...

Suddenly, what we really want to say is, good luck to
Bartlett and Co.; and down with Maple Blight.

Lehigh Sings With
BMC Sunday Eve

The chapel service Sunday eve-
ning was a concert of sacred mu-
sic by the Bryn Mawr Chorus and
the Lehigh University Glee Club.

Also appearing on the program
was the Lehigh Brass Ensemble,
a group of eight who played sev-
eral selections alone, and also ac-
companied the combined choruses
in the number In Excelsis.

The Bryn Mawr chorus | sang
Hans Leo Hassler’s Cantate Dom-
ino, and Kodaly’s Ave Maria. The
double octet gave from Bach’s
Jesu. Meine Freude Denn Das
Gesetz.

Among the numbers sung by the
Lehigh group were Bach’s Now
Let Every Tongue Adore Thee,
Handel’s O Magnum Mysterium
and Gerald Finzi’s Let Us Now
Praise Famous Men.

Mr. Hugh K. Wright, Jr,, the
director of the Main Line area
Student Christian Association gave
the invocation, the -benediction and
read several scripture passages.

A social hour for the two groups
followed in the Common Room.

“The Bryn ‘Mawr Chorus and
the Lehigh Glee Club get together
for ‘a concert every year,” said
Ellie Clymer, Chorus president.
“We always enjoy singing under
‘Mr. Cutler and Mr. Elkus, not to
mention seeing again the congenial
Lehigh boys.” :

National Advertisers Win Sales

By Using ‘That Collece Appeal

by Betsy Levering

On the thesis that advertising
is an: increasing influence, or
modus operendi of “other-direct-
ion,”+ in modern life, perhaps it
would not be amiss to note a few
of these influences permeating
(or, better, supporting’) various
college newspapers.

Ads fall into two main categor-
ies—local and national. The dis-
tinction is clear: the Hamburg
Hearth is likely to run an ad in
our News but not in the Weslyan
Argus, while Swift’s, Processors
of the World’s Finest Ground
Beef, aims at hamburger - lovers
everywhere.

The local ads in a college news-
paper are usually quite unprepos-
sessing, endowed with an .inno-
cence that departs with a Madison
Avenue polish. The local estab-
lishment simply announces itself,
its product and service, and leaves
it at that. For instance, from the
Union College’s The Neuw Yawker
comes this ad, quoted in its en-
tirety: “THE END PAN — We
Serve Chocolate Covered Ants.”
It must be admitted that this sort
of ad has a simple charm. ,

Classified ads also fall into the
local category.
newspapers carry them, but in
those that do they are usually
worded thus: “Car For Sale—2-
tone, blue and orange, 1901 Cad-
illac. Call GR 9-7190.” An excep+
tion comes from The Daily Penn-
sylvanian: “Arthur, why is drink-
ing tea at the Little Greenwich
‘Coffee House like a tete-a-tete
in a canoe? Henrietta.”

The extreme in local advertis-
ing is the newspaper that adver-
tises itself (how much more local
can you get?) The Radcliffe News
bills itself as “Radcliffe’s Only
Newspaper.”

Everyone is sufficiently well ac-
quainted with the ways and means
of mational advertising, so that
the only national ads worth dis-
cussing here are those specifically
aimed at the college student (in-
cidentally, most national ads in
college newspapers are).

In. the University of Toledo’s
Campus Collegian. Arrow Shirts
announces “Exclusive Mitoga tail-
oring is made to order for a young
man’s ‘build’.” The quotes are
theirs. Along the same line is
Van Heusen Vantage Shirts’ ad
in the Temple University News.
The technique is somewhat more

between promoter and adventurer:
“Carr: Well, Sport, this is it.
Sport: Real gas, Cap, I’m almost
flying already. How do I look?”
The answer, of course, is obvious.
A big block of national ads deals
with employment opportunities
(these ‘are notable by their ab-
sence in women’s college papers).
Allied Chemical, Philco, Bell, IBM,:
and others, all list unlimited open-
ings and speak glowingly of a
bright future. Often these ads are
accompanied by a box giving place
and time of the company inter-
viewer’s visit to the campus.
- Perhaps the biggest and most
important ads run n college news-
papers are cigarette ads, and their
techniques are much the most in-
teresting of all. Lucky Strike
sponsors a series of “Sticklers,”
questions with rhymed answers
submitted by college students.
(“Make $25.”) An example’ from

Not all college}.

the Lehigh Brown and White:
“What is a box for storing five-
dollar bills? Fin Tin.” Viceroy
appeals to the students’ more ser-

ious side in a recent ad run in a}:

number of college papers, includ-
ing the News. It was: entitled
“We've Put a Speedometer on. the
Stars!” In a comic strip dialogue
taking place “inside an observa-
tory attached to a leading univer-
sity,” a professor first explains
to a student the filtering effect
of a@ spectroscope in separating
light waves, then the importance
of Viceroy’s filter in getting “more
of what you change to a filter for.”

Other brands are even more en-
terprising: Marlboro sponsors a
column by Max Shulman, author
of Rally Round the Flag, Boys and
Barefoot Boy with Cheek, dealing
directly and cleverly with major

college problems such as how to;with the J. Walter Thompson Ad-

get along in a _ sorority house.
Camel runs psychological quizzes,
and Winston, movie _ scenarios.
Most college newspapers carry one
or more of these ads.

By the by, our ads .are well
worth the reading.

News to the dawn of civilization—

One amusing item. comes from
the June 6 issue, The headline
reads “Aggressive Students Want-
ed.” Wonder if any applied. The
article continues:

“Any student ‘industrious, ag-
gressive, and capable, who actual-
ly wants employment during the
summer months is invited through
a letter just received by the Ap-
pointment Bureau to write to the
Thomas Manufacturing Company,
Inc., makers of phonograph parts,
Dayton, Ohio. For a quiet, studi-
ous, serious-minded. girl, on the
other hand, there is an opening

vertising Co., to do stenographic
work in their branch office in Cin-
cinnati.”

If either of those jobs is still
open .

It seems the girls were not en-
tirely interested in work. In the
November 14 issue there was the
announcement of a new club.

“A new athletic asociation has
been formed, which is called the
Greasy Grinds’ Athletic Associa-
tion. Membership is limited to
those who will promise to take an
hour of exercise a day not for
pleasure but for the sake of their
work. ‘More may be taken if their
studies seem to demand it.”

Gads, how soft we’ve grown!

Another interesting organization
was established again in the No-
vember 14 issue.

“The Second-floor Tub Commit-
tee of Merion has resumed activi-
ties. Besides cleaning tubs, it of-
fers to exchange for meals or to
send-news to patients in the infir-
mary. For its services it charges
four cents a week.”

A competition is taking place
under its auspices.

“Prizes are offered for the most
subtle poem of not more than
three lines, and the best recipe for
making eyelashes grow.”

Who says you can’t get service
for a dime?

The final bit of history is taken
from the December 19 issue.

“Student sells her hair for Red
Cross.”

“To earn money for the benefit
of the Red Cross, D. Rogers cut
off her hair last Monday after-
noon. Miss Rogers expects to sell
her hair to a hair dresser over
vacation for fifteen or twenty
dollars.. Miss Rogers’ hair former-
ly hung below her waist; it now
extends just to her shoulders, but
it is still long enough to do up.”

And thereby hangs a tale. .

Swimming Meets Close and Exciting;
BMC Six Drop Basketball To Beaver

The past two weeks have ‘been

busy ones for the swimming team,,.

three meets, Penn, Cornell, Drexel
and Swarthmore. The Penn. meet
was much closer than the final
score indicated, Penn,. 42, Bryn
Mawr, 29. The most exciting parts
of this meet were the medley relay
which Bryn Mawr won by a whisk-
er, Pat Blackmore, Edie Murphy
and Edie McKeon, swimming, and
the diving, an extremely close
competition between Penn’s star
diver, a Florida State Champion,
and our Eastern Intercollegiate
winner, Sally Davis,

Bryn Mawr arrived at the
YWCA for the Drexel meet much
depleted: four stalwarts were un-
able to swim or dive. A close meet
ensued, however, in which Bryn
Mawr triumphed 37-29. Much
credit goes to Evie Cardwell, a
new, diver this year, who pulled
the diving to a win without the
usual Davis support; also to
Jackie Mars whose speed in the
free style relay certainly outshone
that of her competitior. High
praise goes also to the inspired
spirit of the whole team which
burst forth even more profusively
in the Swarthmore meet, Febru-
ary 28th. Each year this is the
meet the team looks forward to
and dreads most at the same time,
for the Swarthmore team has been
undefeated for a long while: There
was not the hoped-for upset, but
Bryn Mawr gave them a _ tough
run for their money ,and it proved
to be the most fun and exciting
meet of the season.

Basketball

On Tuesday evening, March 4th,
Bryn Mawr played their last home
game of the season. It was against
Beaver College’ which has the
fastest and most skilled team of
all the colleges Bryn Mawr ‘plays.
The varsity game was very close
for the first half with good team-
work being displayed by Bryn
Mawr, but after that the Beaver

team picked up steadily to win}

51-30.
The junior varsity game also





ended with Beaver on top 33-380. It
was a close, hard-fought game all
the way with Bryn Mawr weaken-
ing in the last quarter. Nancy
Hoffman was the high-scorer with
a total of eleven points and Debbie
Smith was a close second with
ten points to her’ credit, The
Beaver coach said that, this year
Bryn Mawr was their toughest
competition so far and that until
our guards tired their defense was
very strong and a real head-ache
for her forwards.

More Summer Jobs! — Students Figure

On Madison Avenu

Ed. Note—This is the third
and last article in the NEWS
survey of summer jobs.

by Miriam Beames

‘At the close of the summer,
Anna Kisselgoff ’58 spent three
and a half weeks as a volunteer
worker with the Committee ‘of
Friendly Relations Among For-
eign. Students, an organization
which offers its services through-
out the year. One of its main
concerns, however, is meeting: in-
coming students as they get off
the boats in New York, and Anna’s
job took her to the docks early
every morning.

There she met boats and took
charge of their foreign students,
some of whom were on a list pro-
vided by the Committee (the in-
coming Fulbright scholars, among
others), but many of whom were
simply found bewildered. After
making sure that none of them
were swindled. (Anna says it’s
possible for the students to-lose
a-lange amount of their money
before they get off the dock), her
task was to find them transporta-
tion and places to stay, help them
get tickets and dispense informa-
tion. In the course of her work,
which was usually over by 1:00
p-m., Anna had a good chance to
try her knowledge of foreign
languages; she also got to know
all the longshoremen (and their
grievances), guards, stewards, and
immigration officials on the French
Line Pier. __ |

Anna considers this job extreme-
ly rewarding—not only did she
get a chance to find out about
other countries first-hand, but she
also received invitations to coun-
tries ranging from Norway to
Ecuador to Thailand.

Job opportunities with the Com-
mittee (located at 291 Broadway,
-New York) include meeting boats
and interviewing (that is, answer-
ing questions, giving messages,
telling the students how to find
their way around); they are eager
for workers either on a weekly or
Saturday-only basis.

Sue Gold ’59 got a summer job
with Doubleday & Co. by visiting
--and applying at all the New York
publishing companies during spring
vacation. Doing mostly typing
and clerical work (she found that
the majority of the jobs are sec-
retarial—executive training - pro-
grams are limited in publishing),
she earned $55 a week for the two
months she spent on Madison Ave-
nue. After two weeks in the Sales
Promotion Department, she moved



to Trade Sales, where she wrote

e and Along Piers

letters and prepared two-para-
graph descriptions of books from
the six-page dummy descriptions.
Among her other tasks were typ-
ing from a dictaphone, learning to
use paper plates in a typewriter and
running for coffee. Since shé had
contact with all the other depart-
ments, Sue felt that she gained a
fairly accurate idea of how a pub-
lishing company works, and found
her job a great deal of fun.
Breadloaf Conference

For two weeks of the summer,
Betsy Nelson ’58 attended the
Breadloaf Writers’ Conference at
Middlebury College, As a contrib-
utor, she paid a $50 fee to have
her manuscripts read in addition
to the room and board cost of
from $145 up (this charge can be
avoided by waiting tables). The
catalogue is posted on the Arts
Council Bulletin Board in Taylor.

Lectures on topics such as writ-
ing, publication and __ business,
children’s books, -short~ stories,
novels .were given by the guest
writers daily from 9:00 am to
3:00 pm, but it was’ impossible
to attend all of them, and Betsy
felt it more valuable to spend her
time talking with both the young
and established writers at thé con-
ference. After dinner, more gen-
eral lectures were given by dis-
tinguished authors, among them
Robert Frost. The manuscripts
Betsy submitted were read by
Kate Boyle and Leone Adams,
whose comments in their confer-
ences she considers extremely
helpful.

Soviet Techniques
Shown By Exhibit

Mr. Robert Rupen of the de-

partment of Political Science an-'

nounces that a set of 25 propa-
ganda pictures devoted to the
celebration of the 30th anniver-
sary of the Communist Accession
to power in Russia in November
1917, is being exhibited in the
Library, 8rd floor, west wing.
Identical sets of pictures have re-
cently been put up~in Soviet
schools, Komsomol meeting-halls,
Party offices, public auditoriums
and clubs. Official descriptions of
the pictures which have been
translated into English appear as
captions.

The exhibit, intended primarily
for internal Soviet consumption,
illustrates Communist propaganda
technique, the quality of Soviet
art, and the party line about the
1917 Revolution: stressing Lenin
and hardly showing Stalin at all.

Justice Advocates
Penal Re-education
Instead of Revenge

The thesis that our present legal
punitive system will eventually be
replaced by one of social re-evalu-
ation fitted to each individual was
presented in two lectures given
at the Deanery, on February 24
and March 3, by the Honorable

Curtis Bok, President Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas of Phila-
delphia. The lectures were entitled
“Criminal Law and Humanity”

and stressed the need for greater:

rapprochement between psychiatry
and the treatment of criminals.

Judge Bok advocated the grad-
ual abolition of the attitude of
revenge implicit in the present
system. Under the McNaughton
rule now in effect, a person may
be acquitted by pleading as a de-
fense, temporary insanity. This is
defined to mean that the accused
did not at the time of the crime,
know what he was doing or that
he did not know that it was wrong.
This rule, according to Judge Bok,
stands between law and psychiatry
in that if the criminal committed
wrong knowingly, then punish-
ment is, according to public opin-
ion today, only right. If we hos-
pitalize a broken mind, he said,
then why not a broken conscience?

But he cautioned against any
hasty changes of the present court
and trial system, which, he said,
is not yet outdated, although he|
believes that it will be replaced
in the future by an _ objective
examination, At present the court-
room is very useful for finding
facts and should still be allowed
to establish the legal guilt or in-
nocence of the accused. After the
verdict is given, it is the respon-
sibility of psychiatry to find the
best way for the re-education of
the individual into a social useful
person. The treatment should al-
ways be designed to fit the crim-
inal and not the crime.

Our prison system at present is
only 40% effective, Judge Bok
stated, and in the 20% of the
crimes that are solved by arrests,
we usually catch only the relative-
ly less intelligent criminals. He
suggested that the best deterrent
to crime is the certainly of cap-
ture, and that the duplication by
the state of a crime to check that

‘crime (i. the capital sentence

for murder) cannot be other than
“the vindictive strength of the
state.” Our penology must be sim-
plified, Judge Bok stated, to aim
at the reconstruction of the whole
individual as an_ individual by
psychiatric re-education, without
the punitive nature of the present



prison system.



Dudden Gives Lecture at Connecticut Prep School
On American West -and Character; Finds Audience Alert

On February 26 and 27, Dr. Ar-
thur P. Dudden, of the History De-
partment, was invited to the West-

over School in Middlebury, Con-|”

necticut by the Headmistress and
Bryn Mawr alumna, Miss Louise
Bolkley Dittingham, to give two
lectures under the general heading
of “The American West: its Sig-
nificance and Development.” Dr.
Dudden limited both lectures to
trends west of the Mississippi.

_ The first lecture dealt mainly
with the lures of the West, and the
reasons for which so many people

went ‘West. Dr. Dudden felt that,

the opening of the West had two
main. significances: first of all, it
precipitated the Civil War; fur-
thermore, the acquisition and the
exploitation of western territory
contributed -greatly to the contin-
ental and powerful state which is
the present America.

Dr. Dudden’s' second lecture con-
_ gerned mainly the development of

- California, Colorado, and Nevada,
bas the —e: on fwd } Seine

ploitation, Dr. Dudden concluded
with the discovery of the Come-
stock lode (of minerals) in Nevada.
What this all adds up to is that
the mining frontier was an ephem-
eral one, since people were always
in a state of transit. However, the
knowledge of the West led to the
discovery of travel routes, which
in turn made things very much
easier for farmers. Furthermore;
these movements stimulated the
growth of railroads—which were
begun primarily to link California
to the rest of the country to such

resulted, with all its ramifications.
The discovery of gold had an add-
ed importance in that it brought
up the money issue, which then in-
truded into politics.

As an évaluation of the charac-
ter of these pioneers, Dr. Dudden
stated that they were an optimis-
tic and aggressive crowd, but soc-
ially, economically and emotionally
restless. In their travels to the



¢

West, Dr. Dudden s saw a desire to

| find in the East, i.e. better living
x-! conditions, more possibilities for



improvement.

Dr. Dudden found the experience
of lecturing to high school girls
an interesting and rewarding one.
In addition to the lectures, he met
with several sections of American
history cl@Sses to discuss the Pop-
ulist movement, and answered
countless questions, ranging from
what kind of textbooks on USS.
history the library ought to have
to which summer school in the
West he would suggest for training
a young’ instructor specializing in
this field. Dr. Dudden’s only qualm
“that they might, think I was
an expert on the subject!”

Asked how the girls at Westover
compared with college students,
Dr .Dudden felt that they compar-
ed very favorably. He was espec-
ially impressed with the flawless
discipline—which involved rising
en masse each time he walked by!
—which was a sunprising change
from the more casual college atti-
tude. Indeed, he thought they
were “an prtwnctive and interest-

Sophomores Gain Both Awards
At Haverford Class Night Show

by Barbara Broome

“Writing is the answer—where
else can one spread confusion so
libérally throughout humanity?”
It was humor, however, not con-
fusion which was “spread so liber-
ally” throughout Roberts Hall at
Haverford last Thursday and Fri-
day evenings, as the opening show,
the class of 1961’s “Search for the
Haverford Man” set the mood for
a thoroughly enjoyable Class
Night. Parody a la Haverford was
the order of th evening and this
was most excellently dofie in the
class of 1960’s winning presenta-
tion of Peter Rabbit in Western
Civilization. The third play of
the evening, The Marque of the
Fop with the Airs is Knight
Enough, or Robin Should, pre-
sented by the junior class, proved
to be the most original show, while
1958’s Deus Amor Est had the
sophistication which seems to be
typical of that “superior stage”.
In the final show ve the evening,
the faculty show—“man bit ‘dog”
so to speak—as the members of the
faculty parodied the Haverford
scene with Haverford’s president,
Dr. Hugh Borton, starring as
“Christopher Cat.”

Although the other shows were
for the most part well done, 1960’s
winning Peter Rabbit in Western
Civilization was clearly the high-
light of the evening. A parody
on the college, the administration
and faculty and collection speak-
ers and speeches, it provided a
genuinely humorous, if rather
lengthy, part of the evening.

The emphasis was on individual
characters with Greg Alexander’s
portrayal of Dr. Borton outstand-
ing. Winner of the best actor
award, Greg, with the aid of the
make-up and costuming crew,
presented a most convincing Dr.
Borton. Truman Bullard as Dean
of men, ‘William Cadbury, also gave
an excellent performance as did
Dudley Summers (Harvey S. Fire-
brand, the collection speaker).
Supporting characters in the show
were exceptionally good. Werner
Muller, Jim Howard, Keith Brad-
ley and Gary Olson as the show
stealing cleaning women “Gina,
Lola, Lisa and Soph” were the
most uproarious examples of this.
Less colorful, perhaps, but very.
clever nevertheless, was the music-
al presentation of suggestions for
collection speakers by Jay Ramey
and Gerry Levin.

As a whole Peter Rabbit was
well done and well received. It
showed a good job of casting by

.|Truman Bullard, the director. An-

other ifmportant: feature here was
that, instead of simply being a
series of ‘caricatures, the play had
continuity. The authors, Brownie
Speer and Dudley Summers, should
be commended here for their care-
ful attention to detail (e.g. in the
announcements, in the directors’
thoughts, and especially in Fire-
ibrand’s speech on the psychological
implications of Peter Rabbit)
which added subtly to the humor.

The one great weakness of the
show was at the same time its
strong point, the use of the Haver-
ford situation and the jokes about
it. It was unfortunate that some-
one. not very familiar with life
on the Haverford campus might
miss a great deal of humor, This,
however, was a weakness in all of
the shows, to a greater or lesser
extent, and ‘was. compensated for
somewhat in the sophomores’ case
by the fact that the characters
were humorous in themselves and
background information was ‘not
necessary in order for one to enjoy
them. Yes, we are most glad that
the class of 1960 brought “Peter

‘Rabbit ” into “Western Civiliza-
ton?
1061's Search for the Haverford

number of people effectively. The
blocking was excellent and the
play showed fairly professional di-
rection. -

The individual acting was not
outstanding nor was the plot. The
dialogue, however, was one of the
strong points of the show. The
most clever scene was the parody
on the “intellectuals” of the college
campus. One will not soon forget
the stringy-haired individual who
couldn’t “seem to find any. depth
in reality” nor the artist explain-
ing his modern painting: “That is
a real hand—not something you
see every day!” The “Elvis Presley
and friends” scene was good also
and it is noteworthy that it was
not drawn out. The ending of the
play, however, was disappointing
and anti-climactic after the clever
dialogue which had come before it.

The class of 1959’s Robin
Should was of all the shows the
most original and difficult to do.
The weak character of Robin Hood
who was unable to make decisions
was well played by Michael Ka-
back. The aggressive Maid- Mar-
jan (Larry Maud) and King John
who acted like a spoiled child
(Joe Mamana) were excellent
character parts.

‘Music, here, was a highlight of
the show. Alan-a-Dale’s song and
the finale were among several good
ones, all of which were sung with
gusto(—and with Katowitz).

Deus Amor Est, 1958’s pres-
entation, was characteristic of that
“superior stage”—subtle and _ so-
phisticated. Unfortunately, the
subtlety and sophistication were
sometimes a bit too much and the
play was difficult for the “common
man” to appreciate. Waiting for
Godot was in itself difficult, if
not downright impossible, to inter-
pret as a parody of Godot,
Deus Amor Est was also. The
show started out well but with the
entrance of Ed Bradley as an al-
legiorical figure representing Christ,
Dr. Borton, and Quakers in gener-
al, acute confusion set in.

The acting and direction of the
show, however, were good and
another interesting feature was
the somewhat dubious interpreta-
tion by each character of the |
hymn tune which recurred through-
out the show. By the way, poor
taste and obscenity merit no com-
ments,

The faculty is to be commend-
ed for sportsmanship not only an
enjoyable take-off -on themselves,
but also for giving their show
both nights. I loved it!

Undergrad Supports
Future ‘Face-Lifts’

by Aiex Van Wessem

It seems that before long, Bryn
Mawr students and their guests
will be eating their ice cream cones
in esthetic splendor, thanks to
Undergrad. With its usual energy,
the Association has undertaken to
have the soda fountain, the Rump-
us Room, and—justly—the Under-
grad Room completely redecorat-
ed.

After the work is completed,
which should be sometime after
Spring Vacation, the three rooms
will be considered more or less as
an_ entity. The work will begin
soen, so that amazed students re-
turning from their vacation will
be confronted with this radical im-
provement. in Goodhart. Exam
blues and paper pallors will dis-
sipate like air upon the sight of
the glorious redecoration.

The very modern designing will
be supervised by a New York

Arleen Beberman, as a _ sophisti-
cated, but willing Englishwoman
was most convincing, Mina Ham:
ilton (wearing, incidentally, a
dress of Arts Night fame) and
Roger Hardy made an excellent
duet in the second “fragment” of
the poem, each contrasting the
other’s type of boredom. All the
characters seemed to enjoy con-
tributing to the total effect of
humorous inscrutability. The set,
though simple, provided an ade-
quate background in the mood of
the poem.



Dance
by Anna Kisselgoff

The illness and withdrawal of cer-

tain of Dance Club’s members and
the consequent but necessary re-
adjustment of plans prior to Arts
Night was somewhat felt on Satur-
day. Although fitting in with oth-
er portions of the program and
certainly more than good in rela-
tion to the preparation that im-
provisation of the days before had
forced upon the performers, the
first two numbers did not seem to
utilize the potentialities of the
choreographers.

The fault, if any, lay in what
seemed to be a gap between good
ideas and good execution of what
there was left to execute.

In “Tobacco’s but an Indian
Weed”, choreographed and danced
by Millicent Dudden, Marisa Gori,
Cynthia Lovelace, Leora Luders,
and accompanied by Leslie Kandell
singing with the guitar, the hum-
orous lyrics and sometimes exag-
gerated poses of the dancers
promised an effective satire upon
the modern dance, Yet perhaps the
performers were too good for their
own parody. They danced too well.
The intentioned caricature of basic
dance movements was not sharply
enough defined; the ridiculed look-
ed more like itself than the ridic-
ulous at..times. On the other
hand, the “finale” vindicated the



tion and their sense of humor.

“Spring Awakening” choreo-
graphed and danced by Leora Lu-
ders showed in spots a certain lack
of complexity necessary to repre-
sent the theme. Thus, Leora at
times had to rely upon her face in
order to express what her move-
ments should have. Yet the con-
trast between the sharp leaps and
graceful softness of, for instance,
her exit, showed Leora’s funda-
mental understanding of the two
elements present in Spring Awak-
ening. As usual, Leora’s execution
was flawless. Jennifer McShane
played —_Prokofieff’s Flute sonata
as accompaniment.

Ghida Shabandar’s performance
of two traditional dances from In-
dia was appropriate in mood and
rhythm. ‘Curiously enough, the
second number was more interest-
ing than her first, in spite of the
fact that it was danced almost in
one place. The variety of arm
movements and hand gestures, so
essential to Indian dance, present
in this number, but subordinate to
the repetition of foot rhythms in
Ghida’s first dance might account
for the seemingly greater invent-
iveness of the second number. Both
were well performed.



Music
by Sue Harris

A noticeable characteristic of the
music presented at Arts Night on
Saturday evening was the unusual
diversity of talent which, as far
as many of us were concerned, had

previously lain hidden among the
academic pressures of Bryn Mawr
and Haverford.

The well-balanced program in-
cluded a Recitative and Aria from
the Marriage of. Figaro by Mozart,
sung by Margaret Goodman and
accompanied by Anne ‘Sprague;
two movements of a Quartet for
Flute and Strings, also by Mozart
(Flute: Ann Lacritz, First Violin:
Marcia Leigh, Second Violin; Rob-
ert Benjamin, ’Cello; Robert Mar-

SIGN OF GOOD TASTE

Batted andar authority of The Coca-Ceta Camnany by

- Arts Night Review = —

Piano, composed and played by
Anne Sprague, Leslie Kandell, and
Angelyn Wishnack; and a conclud-
ing selection of Ballads, Blues and
Folksongs, sung with guitar ac-
companiment by Beth Alexander,
Dee Wheelwright and Richard Kel-
ly.

Although Mozart figured largely
in the evening’s music, still the
choice of compositions and the
manner in which they were pre-
sented were, on the whole, entirely
satisfying. The Recitative and
Aria came across clearly and de-
lightfully. The Quartet for Flute
and Strings was remarkable in
that a high quality of perform-
ance was maintained throughout.
Notably, Ann Lackritz, Flute, and
Robert Martin, ’Cello, are to be
commended for their professional
mastery of technique and _ tone.
(Overheard during the intermis-
sion: “I thought the Quartet was
terrific! The music seemed to be
heralding spring.”)

Despite the short period of time
in which they composed and prac-
ticed their Themes and Variations
for piano, Yee three members of
Mr. Goodale’s Advanced Harmony
Class produced impressive results.
Employing several variations based
on original themes, the students
demonstrated individual command
of the techniques of advanced har-
mony. Combined with the tech-
niques of composition was an ex-
citing display of thematic versa-
tility.

The spirit and informality of the
Ballads, Blues and Folksongs pro-
vided a finishing touch to Arts
Night. Ranging from a narrative
in Hungarian to Leadbelly’s im-
mortal blues, the singerspresented
a fine cross-section of guitar-and-
voice styles, ,

Arts Night provided, in many
ways, a valuable atmosphere for
the presentation of various music-
al mediums, none of which failed
to interest or satisfy this reviewer.
It is hoped that recognition of such
musical talent will continue, with
equally enjoyable results.

ploited—for example, the combin-
ation of ethereal violin harmonics
with the stark plucking of the

harp.

The Debussy quintet made the
most of the sheen of impression-
ism usually associated with the
piano or orchestra. In the climax
of the Danse Profane, it was al-
most as though an orchestra had
taken over. But if Debussy had
an orchestra in his mind’s ear, the
five instruments on stage fully
succeeded in reflecting the appro-
priate subtleties of shading as
well as in producing the sheer
volume of sound.

After the Intermission, Beethov-
en’s first of the three so-called
“Rasoumovsky” quartets . closed
the program. This was probably
technically the most difficult of
the pieces on the program. But it
seemed to offer few obstacles for
the gentlemen from Julliard. The
performance was virtually flaw-
less, so that the players were free
to contribute themselves wholly
to the spirit of what they were
playing. In fact, throughout the
evening, it was as though some
centrifigual force bound them in
their approach to and interpreta-
tion of each mood. The result was
an evening of the purest standards
of chamber music.
