Some say it’s a dash of Dudden.
Others a sprinkle of Sprague. But
whatever the ingredients, Profs in
the Pudding, according to the com-
mittee “falls together like pearls
on a string. The end comes back
to the beginning in the best lit-
erary style forming a_ perfect
spiral.”

A’ commentary on life, the pro-
gram includes sixteen acts with
149 roles. A cast of 109 charac-
ters features old and~-new -stars
who otherwise are professors, lab-
oratory demonstrators, professors’
wives and husbands, wardens, col-
lege administrators, librarians and
infirmary personnel.

As an added attraction, members
of the physics department are pro-
viding a photographic service with
instantaneous development. Phe:

BMC Calendar Theme
Of °51 Anties

If the old adage “‘You can’t teach},

an old dog “new. tricks” has any
truth to it whatsoever, then there
is good reason to believe that this
year’s Faculty Show will be rea-
sonably similar in form and effect
to the 1951 Show.

The 1951 Faculty Show was en-
titled Kind Hearts and Martinets,
and had as its well-hidden, under-
lying theme, “the college. calendar:

The program was divided into
three semesters with a ten minute
intermission for Christmas vaca-
tion and an eight minute intermis-
sion for spring vacation.

The Curriculum Committee: or
Cafe Society written by Miss Sta-
pleton, Mr. Dryden, and Miss Kil-
by opened the show. The scene
was a faculty table at the Deanery,
attended by a chorus line of wait-
ressess: The “Faculty Table Song,”

Greater Publicity For Alliance, League
Desired By Newly-Elected Presidents

By Joan Havens, °56

Sheppie Glass, elected last Wed-
nesday as Alliance president, is ex-
cited and enthusiastic about. her
new responsibility, and hopes. she
“can live up to” what she terms
this “very big job.” A Rock sopho-
more, Sheppie calls Baltimore
home. There she attended, and
eventually became Student Council
president of; the progressive Park
School. She has two younger
brothers, one of whom is now at-
tending the University of Chicago.

Although she explained that she
hadn’t had time to sit down for
several days, Sheppie already has
some quite. definite and varied
plans for the Alliance. These. in-
clude a revamping of the club sys-
tem, and a speaker program which
would allow for a more thorough
handling of the subjects dealt with,
rather than greater variety of sub-
jects.

Sheppie would particularly like
to see more participation in Alli-
ance activities by the many on
campus ‘whom she feels are. inter-
ested but do not participate, often
because of lack of knowledge fon-
cerning what can be done. e
stressed the fact that everyond is
welcome at Board meetings, and
felt more publicity to this effect
would be a good idea. These meet-
ings could perhaps be improved

_and made of more value if one sub-

ject were to be gore into deeply
during a period of several weeks.
Through the N.S.A., in which
she has been especially active
while at college, Sheppie has be-
conte interested in the Russian stu-
dents who will be, in the United

' States in the near future. She very

much hopes that their itinerary,
still in the planning stage, will be
able to include Bryn Mawr.



Queried in Pem , West, Nancy
Potts. appeared equally excited
about her election as League pres-
dent and her forthcoming summer
job. Both her new jobs reflect her
primary interests, since she looks
forward to three months as a ward
secretary at the Chestnut Hill Hos-
pital, which she feels will be re-
warding and an excellent experi-
ence. It will also leave time for
visits to the League-sponsored
summer camp, a pet project of
Nancy’s, in Stone Harbor, New
Jersey. :

Nancy, a junior from Ambler,
Pennsylvania, attended Chestnut
Hill’s Springside- School and Miss
Porter’s in Connecticut. “Over
awed” over the election, she thinks
Judy Haywood’s example will be
“hard to live up to,” but has no
lack of ideas herself. Tentative
plans include innovations. in the
system of meetings, with weekly
meetings of the top officers, and
comprehensive meetings of all rep-
resentatives monthly. These latter
would feature a speaker and re-
ports from each committee, which
Nancy feels would result in in-
creased unity and interest.

She would like ‘to see a greater
effort to publicize League activi-
ties in general, largely through
synopses given by the reps at hall
meetings. Questionnaires as a de-
vice to sound out campus opinion
should be sent out early in the fall,

‘and followed up immediately.

Nancy is particularly pleased
with the summer camp, and hopes
League can achieve greater stabil-

ity in its operation. For Haver-

ford Community Center work, she}:

-would like to see closer co-opera-
tion with Haverford, and more
publicity,

On March 15, Miss Marianne |
Moore gave the annual Theodore
Spencer Lecture at the Deanery.
After a brief introduction by Miss
McBride, Miss Moore read and dis-
cussed her recent translation of the
fables of La Fontaine.

Aftef a brief review of La Fon-
taine’s background, and-discussion
of some of the sources for his fa-
bles, Miss Moore’ discussed “the
qualities which have made his
work so-lasting; she also explain-
ed some of her aims in translating
the fables.

LaFontaine took most of his
stories, .of course, from Aesop
(whose identity is not certain); he
also was well acquainted with the
work of Ovid and Vergil, but his
chief source, apparently, was a
compendium of story outlines com-
piled by Nevelet.

LaFontaine wrote forty of the
fables himself, and invented the
dialogue for all of them, adapting
only the subject matter. The main
point. of the fables, the morals
LaFontains himself built in and

Miss Moore pointed out that al-
though the fables always had an
unmistakable moral, LaFontaine’s
touch was always light, simple and
elegant, that,he ‘“‘knew so well how
not to be a pest”. Paul Valery
said of his work, “Ici la nonchal-
ancé est nonsavante”,

It is LaFontaine’s self-subordin-
ation, his perfect craftsmanship
and especially his verbal harmon-
ies, rather than the actual contents
of the fables, which Miss Moore
tried to reproduce, oftén, as she
modestly remarked, at the expense
of" rhyme.

In her translation Miss Moore
was concerned with consonants
and the counterpoint of vowels;
she tried, for example, to put the

Cast and Audience Enjoy ‘Arms and the Man’
College Theater Production Is General Success

By Marcia Case, ’57

After a rather slow start, Arms
and the Man turned out te be the

pest. production this year by the

sryn Mawr College Theatre and
che Haverford College Drama Club.
By the second act the cast had set-
cled down to enjoy itself, and the
audience likewise greeted with en-
thusiasm Shaw’s story of the Choc-
olate Soldier, which was directed
oy Lois Clair Goutman.

Arms and the Man should be
played.at. top speed, inorder for
the amusing situation and chara
ters to be fully appreciated. This
production, it is true, dragged at
times, but at others it moved at a
merry clip, which resulted in some
very standout single scenes.

Charlotte Busse can take a.good

deal of credit for speeding up the

performance. She made the most
of her many funny lines, and spoke
them so quickly that she gave a
lift.to all the scenes in which she
appeared. Charlotte was particu-
larly good in the second act scene
in which she welcomes the return
and tries to hasten the departure
of Bluntschli.

But there were other moments
in which the group excelled, nota-
bly Raina’s “How did you find me
out?” remark to her Chocolate Sol-
dier, and the episode in which the
servant Nicola brings Bluntschli’s
bag, to the disconcertion of all
present. The last act also provid-
ed some very comic moments.

The acting was generally quite
good. Rabbit MacVeagh made a
lovely and ladylike Raina. ‘She
managed to be properly idealistic
and romantic, while at the same
time retaining a charm that made

Virginian, Canadian Formulate Plans;
Elected Heads Of Chapel And A.A.

Phyllis. Hall;. who traveled. all
the way from India to attend col-
lege, is proof that Bryn Mawr at-
tracts students from far and wide.
The new Chapel *Committée presi-
dent, a native Canadian, has spent
many years in India, and attended
the Woodstock School there. Phyl-
lis is a philosophy major and chap-
el and League activities have
claimed much of her free time at
Bryn Mawr.

Chapel Committee, according to
Phyllis, should not only co-ordinate
religious interests on campus, but
“be further concerned in providing
opportunity to come in contact
with religious and even non-relig-
ious points of view,” thus increas-
ing “religious awareness as anoth-
er dimension to academic life.” Es-
pecially, the Committee should aim
at encouraging religious question-
ing while affording students an op-
portunity to formulate their own
ideas.

Important in the task of finding
out what people think about and
want in their Chapel Committee
should be the hall reps, who must
feel that they are an integral and
active part of the Committee. She

with specific questions for hall
members. Thus opinion on types

The A.A. is going to accomplish
great things next year; is not ex-
isting for itself alone; its purpose
is to enable students who enjoy
athletics to have fun. This is the
attitude with which Betsy Dugdale
is approaching her new job’as A.A.
president. She feels the. A.A., to
be successful, must represent the
students themselves, and what
they want to do.

The possessor of a delightful
Virginia drawl, Betsy is a junior
English major, and lives in a Con-
federate flag-draped room in Den-
bigh. She was secretary of her
class while attending St. Cather-
ine’s School in Richmond, but

since as a day student, she com-

Education for Citizenship?

At the-recent conference of the Association for Higher
Education, held in Chicago and attended by college and uni-

versity officials, Senator Fulbright of Arkansas spoke on af:

topic that, while certainly not infrequently heard these days,
raised again several points that seem of interest to students
in a small liberal arts college.

Senator Fulbright called for a replacement-of specializa-
tion with humanities in the college curriculum. He told the
educators that the humanities have been dangerously ne-
glected, and that. democracy is being weakened in the pro-
cess. Granting .that the country needs scientists and tech-
nicians, he nevertheless held that it also needs well-educated
men and women who can intelligently consider the problems
confronting the country.

We feel, as no doubt Senator Fulbright does, that spec-
ialization is just as possible in the humanities as it is in the
sciences. The psychological point of view, the sociological
point of view, the political point of view can be just as nar-
rowing as the scientific outlook. And these humanistic nar-
rowings certainly do take place at a liberal arts school such
as Bryn Mawr.

After two years of “broadening” courses, which may or
may not affect the individual too deeply, the student, in most
instances of her own choice, narrows her educational outlook
to concentrate on that in which she is most interested and
in which she feels she shows the most ability. An education
in the humanities does not insure an absence of specializa-
tion.

_ Even if it did, however, we feel that the question of edu-
cation should not be approached in the light of what the
country needs, The country may need intelligent yoters—
but are we against getting them at the expense of educating
specifically to be well-rounded and versed in a general arts
background. Quite deeply, we feel that the democratic process
should be for the people, not the people for the democratic
process. If the country becomes concerned chiefly with edu-
cating its citizens to be good voters, it will defeat the very
faith on which it is founded: that of the freedom of the in-
dividual to develop as he pleases, to become as “specialized”
as he pleases.

But what of the problem of insuring an “intelligent” vot-
er? Is it reasonable to expect the person who has concen-
trated on the atom, or Anglo-Saxon poetry, to step out with
no training and be as well qualified as possible to pick the
leaders and vote on the issues of the day? We feel that to a
great extent it is. To be an intelligent voter takes no sharp-
ly defined “background” material, but rather the experience
of looking at a problem and solving it to the best of the vot-
er’s ability.

Obviously different voters will have different abilities,
different ways of looking at the problems. They can each
make a large contribution to the public welfare by contribut-
_ ing their own outlook, their own peculiar knowledge, in help-
ing the country shape its policies and select its leaders.

_ We in no way intend this to be a plea for specialization.
~ Just as we feel that.specialization per se is not an evil. to.be
avoided, neither do we think it is a good thing to be sought.
In a free society, specialization should come out of_the indi-
vidual’s own desire to concentrate on that which he feels will
give him the best chance to develop to his fullest.

While determining his private life, the individual should
definitely feel an obligation as a citizen. “But he should groom
himself to be a person first and a voter second. Ultimately,
we feel, this is best for both the individual and his country.

Was @ Lake-olf on giveaway snows,
mulch Sitwell, Emily Wimorouga,
ume cowboy tad, anu various sub-
jecuS OL modern sauire. According
vO the iNews review, Miss Gardiner
emerged as Lady Savgood. “Clad
in an exotic turban and snawl, Miss
uwardiner delivered a moving reaa-
img Oi ‘Bryn Mawr Hacade’ which
captured many of tne cnaracteris-
tics of tne Bryn Mawr campus and
undergraduate.” Mr. Berry was de-
scriped as “a handsome Hopaiong,”
while Mr. Sloane was an “equaily
attractive announcel.” Miss Leigh-
con, who appeared. as kmily
W ench, “personified ail the endear-
ing “traits of the female author-
ijecturer.”

Following these two scenes, the
wardens enacted a skit, Economics
30la: or Full Employment. Be-
decked in pajamas, nightgowns and
bathrobes, they sang and danced to
“The Warden’s Lament.”

Reported as highly individual-
istic was a skit called Anthropol-
‘ogy 101: or Tribal Rites. Mr.
Adams and Miss Kilby, who ap-
peared as Shamans, danced and
beat time. Among the brutal
braves were Mr. Parker and Mr.
Soper. Miss deLaguna, Miss Howe
and Mrs. Lattimore “scurried
around submissively as squaws un-
til the ultimate feminine triumph.”

Closing semester I was Theory
and Practice of Art: or These
Methods Will Paint the Slums
Medium Well. The scene was “a
Tragedy in Five Continuous Acts,
with an Epilogue in Heroic Meas-
ure by Long John Root.” Featur-
ing Miss Lograsso, “who appeared
with an enormous paintbrush, Mr.
Morris as Mr. Janschka, and Mr.
Janschka as Mr. Morris, this scene
told the sad story of two young
men who perished in Higgin’s Ink
and of Miss Lograsso, who lament-
ed, but went on painting.”

Semester II opened with a course
in Sociology 201: or Home Life of
the Normal American Family by
Mrs. Dryden. This typical family
came to life from a collection of
Charles Addams cartoons. Mr. Le-
blanc and Mrs. Berliner were the
husband and wife, while Miss
Northrop portrayed the granny
“borrowing a cup of cyanide.”

A high point of the show was

reported to have occurred in this
scene when Miss Fales and Mr.
Nahm appeared hand-in-hand as
the ghoulish girl and boy singing
a song which ended:

“Teacher’s gone and we are glad.
We have drove her simply mad...
Teacher’sin the loony bin.

Now our holidays begin.”

Mrs. Marshall also added to the
scene by depicting the “typical

+Bryn Mawr student doomed for the

deep freeze.”

As the dea ex machina, a Bryn
Mawr owl, Mrs. Manning recited
“To-wit,” a satire on the Shakes-
pearean lyric. She dlso revealed
some of the undergraduates’ “more
embarrassing” characteristics in
referring to “the greasy grinds
who con their books,” the dance
addicts who “jitter cheek to jowl”
and the unhappy extremes, “no
wit, all woo” and “all wit, no woo.”
Featured as spirits were Miss de-
Laguna in a mummy case and Mr.
Adams in a birdcage.

Comparative Literature: Prairie
Division consisted of the transla-
tion of “Home on the. Range” into
various languages and accompany-
ing dances by the appropriate pro-
fessors. Singing the original ver-
sion of the song, Mr. Watson por-
trayed a cowboy. Miss deGraaff as
a Cossack sang “Kolkhoz, kolkhoz
na stepiakh”; and Mr. MacGregor
in kilts executed a Highland Fling
after expressing a wish to be
“Hame, hame on the brae.” Miss
Bree sang “Chez moi, chez moi
dans la prairie.” All united under
the direction of Miss Lang, a Bryn
Mawr lantern girl.

Letters to the Editor



To the Editor:

May I bring to your attention a
speaker whose life -has been of
great importance in several of the
crucial issues of today? Outside
of religious circles, he is probably
best known for his courageous
stand against the tactics and im-
plications of McCarthyism when
he was called before the Un-Amer-
ican Affairs Committee in the sum-
mer of 1953, and defended himself
with a logic and vigor which won
applause from many quarters. |

He is Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam,
bishop of the Washington area,
and he is known for his work in
many fields, including labor rela-
tions, the problems of the immi-
grant generally, as well as a full
service with the Methodist Church.
He has been professor in several
universities and lecturer in many,
including Bangor University! He
has received more than fifteen de-
grees.

Bishop Oxnam served on the Na-
tional War Labor Board as a spe-
cial mediator in labor disputes dur-

ing the war; in 1948 he was elected

one of the Presidents of the World
Council of Churches, a position
which he held until the conference
this past summer at Evanston. On



numerous missions to Europe he



Chapel Committee Presents Bishop.G. B. Oxnam,
Noted Author, Professor And Labor Mediator

has represented“ the
churches.

He is the author of ‘numerous
books, covering everything from
politics and social reform to Crea-
tive Preaching. “Town Meeting of
the Air” and “Invitation to Learn-
ing” are only two of the radio pro-
grams and forums in which he has
participated.

We are therefore especially

pleased to have Bishop Oxnam
speak this Sunday evening at 7:45
in chapel on a topic which takes
on special meaning in the light of
his own life: “Are the Ethical
Ideals of Jesus Valid?”
. The Chapel Committee and all
those who have worked with us
this year join me, I think,.in ap-
preciation of your editorial
“praise” last week!

Music Appreciation 301: or the

Mr. Morris‘and Mr. Leblanc. “Long
to be remembered is Mr. Leblanc
pouncing -on the cymbals with
clenched fists, jumping up and

down beside the big bass viol and.

Mr. Soper’s lovely tenor voice.”

Latin 101: or Spring in a Roman
Garden was a repeat from the
1947 Faculty Show. Miss Clayton,
Mrs. Lattimore, Mrs. Leblanc and
Mrs. Nahm were ballerinas pirouet-
ting with Mr. Alwyne, Mr. Berlin-
er, Mr. Berry and Mr. Lattimore
who depicted stately Roman stat-
ues. Mrs. Marshall, the “non-
chalant” prima ballerina, danced
with a bust of Aeschylus.

Appearing between acts was Mr.
Dudden. “As the epitome of aca-
demic fashion and with a complete
deadpan and doleful gaze, he por-
trayed the mournful professor who
never could do anything right.”

The show ended with the Inter-
departmental Final: or Vestigial
Remains of the Early English
Rhythm. At this point, eight pro-
fessors clad in white pranced down
the aisle and danced around the
Maypole.

Throughout all this, Mr. Gilbert,
dressed in a big red tie, straw hat
and tremendous laundry bag, sold
balloons.

THE COLLEGE ,NEWS

Brun Mawr Graduates Evaluate
lob Opportunities in Publishing

“The Beginner
and her editorial opportunities
were discussed by Sheila Atkinson
and Anne Denny, two Bryn Mawr
graduates, at a Vocational Com-
mittee tea on March 9.

Miss Atkinson, a 1953 graduate
who is the secretary to the editor
of the New Yorker’s “Talk of the
Town” department, discussed’ edi-
torial jobs on magazines, while
Miss Denny, a former manager of
a small newspaper and now a re-
porter for Life, spoke on the news-
paper _field..

“Anti-Woman Business”

According to Miss Denny, ‘the
overcrowded newspaper field is
both harder to get into and harder
. to stay in than the magazine field.
“The roughest thing is this anti-
woman business,” she said. “But,”
she went on, “the newspaper busi-
ness is like a disease. Once -you’re
in it, you can’t get out.”

Because of the very nature of
newspaper journalism, jobs for
women are restricted, and if a
woman wishes to do straight re-
porting, she often has to face hard
editors, who remember the worst
actions of female reporters. Wom-
en’s pay is also only about two-
thirds of that of men, and if they
want to change jobs, they find it
very difficult to receive salaries
equal to their experience.

Keep Away From N.Y.C.

If a woman wants to do city re-
porting, any practical political
work will be respeeted, commented
Miss Denny. She added that the
women’s page is offering more op-
portunities for writing, and the
traditional food editorship is open
to“anyone “who can boil water.”

Miss Denny was emphatic in
warning beginners to stay away
from large cities and especially
from New York, where there are
already experienced journalists
from disbanded publications out of
work. She advised beginners to
look up small town papers.and edi-
tors in some handbook such as The
Editors and Publishers Yearbook
and then to work for about three
years on a good, small newspaper.

In working toward the larger
publications, Miss Denny said the
beginner would need a willingness
to do hard and varied work, per-
haps her own financial resources to



in Publishing’ tide her over and “lots of inner re-

sources.”
Miss Atkinson’s first job was on

the New Yorker as a member of

the central office staff; there, like
all beginners, she mailed rejection
slips and did other errands until
she was ready to leave. Then she
was promoted to her present posi-
tion which cowibines editorial and
secretarial duties and. which could
lead to an editorship.

To obtain her job, Miss Atkin-
son, a former editor of thre College
News, wrote to five different pub-
lications that she)liked during her
senior year and found that a Bryn
Mawr record giaranteed an inter-
view. After a satisfactory inter-
view at the New Yorker, she went
to Europe for a year, and on her
return, found that the New York-
er had an opening “for her.

Interview. Deciding. -

Although she ‘had _ registered
with an agency, by starting early
she..was able to find a job on her
own, and she recommended” an
agency only if a job is needed im-
mediately. ‘ «

From her experience, Miss At-
kinsoh concluded that the inter-
view was the most important and
deciding factor in publishing. She
stressed that one should know the
magazine and its field, even if “you
have to stay up two nights before
the interview reading the maga-
zine.” She also advised that the
initial letter be “short, nice and
casual,” containing a resume of
summer jobs and college activities.
She emphasized, too, that the job-
seeker should not imply that she
can improve the magazine.

Miss Denny nated that Time
and Life have training programs,
but competition is very keen. How-
ever, she thought that “the jobs
to get” on these publications are
those of researcher or reporter.
She also noted that beginners
should contact Content Peckham, a
Bryn Mawr graduate, for informa-
tion, on openings on Life and Mar-
ion McFale on Time.

Both speakers made several
points in common, which included:
1) Wanting very much to have an
editorial position is essential; 2)
a knowledge of shorthand is use-
ful, but not. necessary, while a
knowledge of typing is necessary;

Bryn Mawr Invites Russian Student
_ Editors To Visit Campus During Tour

The Bryn Mawr 5h and
Undergraduate Association ha
extended an invitation to the el
en Russian editors to visit
Bryn Mawr campus during th
thirty day tour ofthe Unite
States. In a letter to the Institute
of International Education in New
York, the College expressed a de-
* sire to entertain the editors of the
Soviet student and youth publica-
tions who are expected to stay in
this country from April 15 to May
15.
_ As reported in an article in the
New York Times of March 11, the
~ government, after months of delay,
did not decide until March 10 to
admit the Russians. Attorney Gen-
eral Brownell, at the request of the
State Department, waived provi-
sions of the McCarran-Walter Im-
migration Act in order to permit
the thirty day visit.
Commenting editorially, the
Times remarked: t
-“The Government has decided
that the Republic will not collapse
if eleven Russian students spend
thirty days visiting American col-
leges and universities. ..-. It has
been one of the tragedies of the
past few years that it was less
_and less possible for persons in
Communist countries to visit the








Western democracies and likewise

1 for citizens of the Western democ-

racies to visit the Communist

estates: . If the Russian Govern-

ent is willing to expose eleven
dent editors, aged 24 to 39, to
a close-up view of higher educa-
tion in this country, it is wise of
us to accept the challenge. ee
Wendy Ewer, in writing to the
Institute to invite the editors,
stressed Bryn Mawr’s early par-
ticipation in the plan to organize
the visit. In December, under the
leadership of Swarthmore, Bryn
Mawr joined with Haverford, Lin-
coln, Oberlin and the University
of Chicago in sending a joint letter
to the Department of State and
the Justice Department, notifying

them. of. the~ifvitations to. their |~

colleges, and urging the depart-
ments to grant visas to the Rus-
sian editors when they reapplied.



The deadline for contributions
for the Spring issue of Counter-
point will be Friday, April 7. f
Short stories and poems are
considered especially desirable.
Put your typewritten contribu-
tions in the Counterpoint box in
the main hall of Taylor or give

2 P. A. Revisions
Debut With ‘Profs’

Everyone at faculty show will
“hear reasonably well, at least,”
if two new devices planned for
Goodhart by Mr. Pruett and Mr.
Zimmerman perform at their best.
The additions will make their de-
but at the show and become a per-
manent part of the public address
system.

One difficulty in hearing in Good-
hart stems from the fact that the
P.A. system’is controlled from the
choir loft. From this spot, the op-
erator can neither see nor hear
what is going on in the auditorium.

This will be remedied by a meter
to measure volume level at a spot
under the balcony. The operator
will now be able to adjust the. vol-
ume level on the basis of the meter
reading.

Voices sound fuzzy in some spots
because the microphones were not
sensitive enough to high frequen-
cies. The new crystal microphones
are expected to make voices sound
more natural.

Mr. Pruett started thinking
about improvements in acoustics
when, as'a member of the com-
mencement committee, he heard
“traditional” comments from par-
ents who were unable to hear what
was going on at graduation.

‘Greenery’ Hi-lites
Kicks, Pie Throw

“In a Mountain Greenery” was
the title of the revel staged by
Denbigh Hall last Friday night.
Flower-decked hallways, genuine
foliage. and the trees borrowed
from the Maids’ and Porters’ Spir-
itual Concert, helped to carry out
the theme. ;

Starting at 9:00 P.M. and ending
at 1:00, the dance was the scene of
an overflow crowd, with the men
outnumbering the girls by a large
margin.

Drexel and Dragonaires -

es :

Excellent dance music was pro-
vided by the seven-piece band from
Drexel, the Dragonaires. Leslie
Kaplan and Mary Jane Chubbuck
acted as M.C.’s, mainly to “give
this Mountain Greenery thing some
continuity,” and proved to be seri-
ous contenders for any pie-throw-
ing contest. Toothpaste and vaude-
villian jokes completed their rep-
ertoire.

Found between the antics of
Chubbuck and Kaplan were the
following acts: Martha Bridge,
with Leslie Kandell at the piano,
told all about college week-ends
when she sang “The Boston Be-
guine”’; Charlotte Busse gave a
monologue as an elementary school
teacher; Wendy Kaplan sang “Blue
Moon”; and a pajama-clad kick
chorus performed to the music of
the Rodgers and Hart tune “In a
Mountain Greenery.” The Octan-
gle was present, and performed
immediately after a second kick
chorus, or kick trio, which was
composed of Anne Mazick, Ellen
Segal, and Freddie Glassberg from
Wesleyan, all wearing those ever-
useful gym tunics.

Mimi Bayer was chairman of the
entire event, and Debbie Herbert
and Ginny Thomas were ih charge
of the food and decorations, re-
ayectiver ’

Following the Saturday night

WBMC gave its annual dance. The
theme, “Through the Looking
Glass,” was carried out with post-
ers of scenes from Alice in Won-

A three-piece band from Haver-
ford provided dance music, and re-
freshments were served in the

College Theater Poll Shows Two ’



Main Grd

Editor’s Note: This the first

of a series of articles.on the

_role of College Theatre on the
Bryn Mawr campus.

especially contributed
by Linda Levitt, ’57

What is the role of the Bryn
Mawr College Theatre? What type
of play would you like to see pre-
sented more often? What are your
opinions of past performances, and
your suggestions for future activi-
ties?

These are only a few of the
queries found on the questionnaire
which was distributed to the under-
graduates last month. Although
only 157 out of 628 answered, those
who did so seemed genuinely in-
terested in this aspect of our extra-
curricular life, and their replies re-
vealed some striking differences of
opinion as tothe purposes of a col-
lege dramatic society.

Workable Solution

The aim of this series of articles
is merely to set down the most
worthwhile of the views expressed
(with much omission and generali-
zation, it is feared), and to try to
arrive at a workable solution based
on suggestions that have been of-
fered.

The results of the poll showed
that, by and large, those concerned
with College Theatre have man-
aged to divide themselves into,
roughly, two opposing camps, each
heavily armed with valuable ideas
and criticisms.

The first group stressed College
Theatre as a “drama workshop,”
existing primarily for the pleasure
and edification of its own members.
These were the students who advo-
cated more classical and experi-
mental plays (and even current
American and foreign dramas) as
vehicles in which to acquire great-
er knowledge of acting, directing
and staging. They wanted dramat-
ic readings and attention given to
works written by the students
themselves, emphasizing “new ef-
fects” and shunning Broadway pol-
ish. Praise was. given here for
Oedipus at Colonus and The Trojan
Horse, and many contended that a
college theatre group has a duty

Refer Food Gripes
To Mary Neely, ’38

By Marcia Goldstone, ’56

Is your toast cold? Not enough
silver to go around? Go see Mary
Neely. The current rotating fresh-
man member to Undergrad is serv-
ing as a liaison between Miss
Howe and the students to see what
can be done about soothing the
perennial savage cries concerning
the food.

This softspoken Texan explains
that though few people realize it,
Undergrad is supposed to and
wants to take care of gripes and
complaints. Furthermore, although
nothing can change the quality of
the food, since it is dictated by the
amount which can be spent, Miss
Howe is anxious to clear up griev-
ances about the way it’s prepared
and served.

Therefore, don’t sit around and



idly ‘complain about the food. Turn’

your grievances into constructive

mercy on the audience. They as-
serted that works out of the dis-
tant past were too difficult to per-
form and stage, considering our
limited. reserves of talent and the-
atrical experience. These people
wanted to see more comedies and
Broadway-type productions — and,
perhaps, even an occasional musi¢-
al! Such things are diverting and
relaxing, they said, since grim
tragedies. never seemed to fit the
mood of the weekend on which
they were présented, and plays
with hard-to-grasp themes could
not successfully hold an audience.
What we had to have were not
necessarily insipid drawing-room
pieces, but fast-moving, well-con-
structed plays, amusing or exciting
enough to capture the imagination
of a group of people who paid
money to be entertained. The fa-
miliar plays, accompanied by fair-
ly elaborate settings, in which per-
formers could communicate their
enjoyment to onlookers, would be,
in the opinion of these students,
what a drama club should work
with, and the type that would
bring tangible rewards at the box
office. This group preferred Ar-
senic and Old Lace and The Phila-
delphia Story.
Variety of Plays

There were a good many, of
course, whose ideas could not be
relegated to either of these two
categories. A great number favor-
ed variation in the choice of plays,
planning of the year’s schedule in
advance, sOme even expressing a
preference for an evening of one-
act plays each season.
maintained that any work could
hold an audience provided it was
staged imaginatively and acted
well, and moved ‘along at a decent
pace; conversely, others stated
that modern, somewhat conven-
tional] theatre need not necessarily
be devoid of all artistic merit. Peo-
ple in both “armed camps” liked
Shakespeare and Shaw, Fry and
Moliere, and a huge majority of
those who replied remembered last
year’s Madwoman of Chaillot with
fondness and pleasure. Out of the
‘157 returned questionnaires, 103
playwrights and 134 different plays
were suggested for future refer-
ence, for which, we might add, Col-
lege Theatre is sincerely grateful.

Nonetheless, there remain vocif-
erous factions who still feel vio-
lently one way or the ot » Pre-
senting four plays a year, eachef
a different type, might be one way
of mollifying these irreconcilables,
and yet there have been other,
equally interesting plans brought
forward which will hold up for in-
spection next week.

fects, she felt, were more import-
ant than the length of the lines

or exactness of rhyme.

Above all, however, Miss Moore
attempted to reproduce the “spirit
and flavor” of LaFontaine’s verses.
Her success in this was especially
evident on hearing her read her
own translations. And the fact
that her versions are unmistakably
her own, while also unmistakably
LaFontaine’s, makes them doubly
memorable.

1925: No Smoking
A “Liberal” B.M.C.

The College News, Jan. 21, 1925:
Cigarette smoking at Bryn Mawr
is a question which must be,solved
by time, is the report from Self-
Government headquarters,

Time has done something al-
ready, in permitting graduate stu-
dents to smoke away from college
except in public places,and in
making exceptions for students
when in private homes. ...

For the rest, there can be no de-
cisive action until all the colleges
act together. A college, as an in-
stitution, must follow, not keep
pace with the liberal family. ...
At present Bryn Mawr was ¢on-
sidered the “happy” medium, not
as rigid as Smith, nor as free as
Barnard, where there are no re-
strictions.

But for the present nicotine is
generally prohibited on campus,
and within the twenty-five-mile
limit and must continue to be so
until a change is wrought by arbi-

Audience Enjoys ‘Arms And The Man’;
Reviewer Calls Production A Success

Continued from Page 1
it easy to understand her appeal
to Sergius. ‘

She was not quite so effective,
however, in showing her change of
character from the idealistic girl
to the humorous fake who finally
wins her man, Although she was
very funny in delivering her “How
did you find me out?” line, after-
wards it was sometimes a little
difficult believing that we had
found her out, that she ‘was not
perhaps the Raina of old.

C. Busse Exceilent

Charlotte Busse was a very fun-
ny Catherine. She exhibited so
much energy and good will that
she was a delight to behold. It
might be said that she. was per-
haps guilty of over-acting—if so,
it-did not detract from the produc-
tion.

Harvey Phillips did an excellent
job as the hero-villain Bluntschli.
He looked disheveled and casual,
creating a good contrast to the
gentlemanly Sergius. And he main-
tained a humorously critical de-
tachment from the affairs and per-
sonalities of the others. He deliv-
ered his lines with a relish—and
as some of them were quite amus-
ing indeed, Mr. Phillips came out
of the play not only with Rabbit,
but also with his comic reputation
established in Arsenic and Old
Lace still untarnished.

Fred Burelbach ‘was less success-
ful as Sergius. Although he was
a very handsome figure, he failed
to capture the strong, and admit-



tedly obnoxious, personality of the
heroic “Don Quixote.” Although
Sergius had no*sense of humor,
he did have a way with women,
and Mr. Burelbach was rathe
wooden in flirting with even_as
pretty a girl as Louka.

Nan¢y Moore was. quite an at-
tractive and sprightly Louka, a
nice offset to the lady-like Raina.

John Pfaltz was a very convinc-
ing Petkoff. He stood out as the
only stolid character in a confus-
ing and distracted sityation. He
and: Charlotte made a charming
couple; the scene in the garden
after he returned from the war
was. both warm and funny.

The actors also fit into a con-
vincing whole. There were not
single standout stars, but rather
some good actors, who seemed to
enjoy and understand each other,
as well as themselves.

The three sets for Arms and the
Man, particularly the garden scene,
were quite good. The costumes
were simple but effective. Raina’s
clothes especially were very be-
coming to her and looked. good on
stage. The soldiers, however, look-
ed a little uncomfortable in their
uniforms, and they seemed to have
difficulties with their swords.

Technically, Arms and the Man
was a smooth production. But it
was “a success because its actors
managed to come up with some
characters whom the audience
could laugh at and with, and who
were not above laughing at them-
selves at times,

Spring is the season for confer-
ences and complaints at colleges
throughout the country.

Vassar recently held a Sympos-
ium on Love, conducted by religi-
ous experts, marriage counselors,
and “just housewivés.” From this
Symposium arose a number of
facts and opinions on marriage,
including the following:

“Never marry a person to re-
form him, Reform him first!”

“A background such as a broth-
er-sister relationship is advantage-
ous and even living harmoniously
with roommates is good prepara-
tion.”

“Young people have forgotten
how to feel; talking is often a sub-
stitute for the communication of
feeling, rather than communicat-
ing feeling. The true test ofa re-
lationship is that silence is not a

threat to it.”

For the woman who is contem-
plating marriage and/or a ca-
‘reer, students were advised:

“Educated women will always
find tensions between conflicting
loyalties . .. Such tensions can be,
if properly treated, healthy.”

Commenting editorially on the
Symposium, the Vassar Chronicle
called it a “well-thought-out pro-
gram” which brought “stimulation
to the college community.”

A Vassar student felt the con-
ference was a success because it
introduced a new concept—that of
“psychological-theology.” This idea
“suggested a means of achieving
an understanding of people, and
an ability to meet difficult personal
decisions which neither psychology
nor theology could offer alone.”

In a lighter vein, the Swarth-
more Phoenix advocated “abolish-
ing the entire month of March.”
Said the editors:

“By March, the semester has lost
its pristine glow, and has not yet
reached the exhilaration of the
last spring. Hour exams and pa-
pers abound, and even the honors
students lose the enthusiasm for
the weekly epic. Either you take
some time off, informally advanc-
ing the date of spring vacation
and thereby invoking the wrath of
the professors, or you bravely
carry on, thereby invoking the
wrath of your roommate who must
bear up with your ill temper...

“The solution, however, is sim-
ple. Strike March from the cal-
endar and generations yet unborn
will’ thank us. But lest we be ac-
cused of disrupting the system
completely, we will relent and re-
tain one week as a remembrance.
This year’s remnant will be March
26 to the end of the month.”

B. M. C. Wins Last Basketball Tilt;
Other Teams Are Less Successful

By Joan Parker, ’57

The last game of the basketball
season was played at Chestnut Hill
on March 15. The varsity game
was won by Bryn Mawr with a
score of 39-30, and the J.V. game

was a 13-13 tie. In the varsity
game Sally Kennedy was
scorer with 24 points. According
to all who participated, the game
was not played in the best of

lege, as a member of the chorus
and Octangle, her interests have
been largely musical. Her A.A. ac-
tivities have included two years ag
‘a hall rep and two years on the
hockey. squad.

Most important, Betsy, who mod-
estly describes herself as the type
who adores athletics but isn’t very
good at any of them, would like to
make everyone aware of what A.A.
actually is. Work and genuine in-
terest on the part of many are
needed if A.A. is to be an active
organization. Toward this end
Betsy hopes to consider the good
suggestions made by all the ‘candi-
dates for president.

School spirit toward athletic
events, sadly lacking, must be re-
awakened. Betsy sees as necessi-
ties greater publicity, of games,

and the rousing of more enthusi-|'
asm for the varsities themselves. |!

She emphasized that anything un-
dertaken must be done with the co-

operation of all the Board and|'
the members of which|!

must each take an individual part

if A.A. is to achieve anything dur-|'

ing the coming year.

Gilmartin Writes On “Big

Wheels”;

Karns $10: In Mlle. Board Contest

by Harriette Solow, °56

“It’s the weirdest feeling being
paid for writing,” said Patty Gil-
martin after earning ten dollars
as second prize for the second as-
signment in Mademoiselle’s guest
editorship contest. é

The assignment consisted of a
series of profiles of big wheels on
campus.. Patty wrote it straight
the first time but “was so bored
with it I couldn’t proofread it.”
Instead, she tossed. off profiles of
Ann Fosnocht, Wendy Ewer, and
Claire ‘Harwood as seen by a
mythical Bryn Mawrter.

Agatha Wynnewood, the “auth-

or,” is “very bluestocking” and
she makes it very clear “how aw-
ful big 4wheels are.” According to
Patty, her article was “a-little dif-
ferent.” ‘

The last two assignments have
already been turned in. Patty wrote
an article on health—“‘me of all
people”—and worked out the copy
for a fashion issue on the theme,
“What’s in the cards.”

As her suggestions for future
non-fiction features, she recom-
mended a profile on-young marrieds
in college; do they continue or is
the choice marriage or college? An
article on mononucleosis could be‘



substituted for the usual beauty
feature, Patty aded, “and nobody
seems to know anything about it.”

In addition to the tryouts, Patty

has been answering questionnaires
on everything from “what kind of
clothes are worn on your campus”
to “what do you think of Red
China?”

Now it’s just a question of hop-
ing for a telegram carrying Mad-
emoiselle’s verdict—expected about
May 1. “I’d love to have the job”
says Patty.
