Sociologist Tells
Of Glueck Work

In Youth Crimes

“Juvenile delinquency is here: to
stay,” began Dr. Marvin E. Wolf-
gang, speaking at the League-
sponsored lecture on March 10 at
8:30 in the Common Room; Dr.
Wolfgang, visiting Lecturer in
Sociology, reported on the latest
research work of Mr. and Mrs.
Sheldon Glueck of Harvard Uni-
versity.

The Gluecks, after many years

sof studying family relationships

and their link with juvenile crime,
have compiled a table which they
hope will serve as a predictive de-
vice for the likelihood of delin-
quency in “clean” youths.
Gluecks claim that their social
prediction scale, with its five sig-
nificant factors, is “all one needs

about the potential delinquency |:

of a child.” The five factors are:

(1) kind of discipline used over|_
child by father, (2) supervision by |
the mother, (3) affection of the].
mother, (4) affection of the fath-|
er, and. (5) cohesiveness of the) 4

family.

In 1952, the State of New York
agreed to finance this “attempt
to predict a social phenomenon.”
From a “slum” area in Brooklyn,
220 six-year-old boys were select-
ed, and their homes investigated
and scored, on a point-basis, on
the five Glueck factors. The
Gluecks were to wait 11 years,
until the boys were about 17, the
average “delinquent age,” before
announcing the predictions they
had made and stored away, and
before determining how many of
the boys at whom they had “point-

ed the finger of inference” had |

actually become delinquent.

Now the survey is’ 7 years. old,
still too early for conclusive re-
sults to be, given. Recent’y, “cer-
‘ain New York papers” have joy-
ous'y, but prematurely, insisted
Dr. Wolfgang, annoounced that
‘he results are “85% effective.”

The boys have not even reached

the average “delinquent age” yet.

Leighton’s discussion on

the Gommon Room of Goodhart,
March 14, was that a serious prob-

lem of communication exists be-
tween lawyers and psychiatrists
resulting in the inefficient hand-
ling of psychiatric cases by our
legal system. Traditional legal
training in this country produces
a man able to reduce relations to
| Mostract principles and to apply
‘>gal pres-riptions for his client’s

yer and the psychiatrist meet and
disagree. Legally, one can’t com-
mit a crime without consciously in-
tending todo so. The psychiatrist
says that a man can have an un-
conscious intent.

An example in criminal law is
the case of a devoted mother who
goes to her neighbor’s house and
says that she has done something
to her-daughter Patty. Returning
to her home, the daughter is found
to h been killed by an axe.
Under'psychiatric examination, the
mother recalls three dreams which
she had previously forgotten.
These show the unstable state of
the woman’s mind.

The woman, tried in Australia,
was acquitted only because the
crime had been committed while
she was asleep. If she had been

Reviewer Praises Performance,

ted the moment the huysen made her Portia a true

and dignity, together with a sure
control of every word allowed the
audience to relax and enjoy her

performance, confident in her abil-
ity to handle her part adroitly. It
was a thoughtful performance,
which harmonized with the whole
—even the “quality of mercy”
speech grew naturally from the
surrounding dialogue. Perhaps she
was a little too careful in the first
half—her mockery of the suitors
lacked the spontaneous gaiety we
had looked forward to; but in the
second act it was obvious that she
had been conserving energy for
better things, and her new-found
verve remained with her through-
out the trial and Belmont scenes.

To play Prince Charming is not
an easy task, and Raymond deRis
had a youthful quality which elic-
ited our sympathy. He warmed
to his part towards the end of the
casket scene, and the conventional
love speeches were winningly sin-
cere.

Trudy Hoffmann’s “Nerissa was
full of high spirits. If her ges-
tures were a little reminiscent of
the twentieth century college girl,
their naturalness was a welcome
contrast to the subdued dignity
of Portia, and a perfect foil for
Don Knight’s Gratiano. She was
one of the few members of the
cast who consistently responded
to the action and dialogue on
stage (although even she failed to
show any emotion when Morocco
ferociously brandished his scim-
itar).

Don Knight’s Gratiano was a
healthy combination of manly self-
confidence and earthy humour. The
part is a rewarding one: it gave
Mr. Knight the opportunity to dis-
play his evident sense of seeurity
on the stage, a security which
showed itself in his ability to speak
and act at the same time, without
losing the effect of either lines or
movement:

Five Juniors Get
Grants from Ford |
\For This Summer

The Committee on the Public
Affairs grant from the Ford Foun-
dation consisting of President Mc-
Bride and representatives from the
Department of Economics, His-
tory, Political Science, Social
Psychology and Sociology award-
ed grants of $600 to Nancy Beyer,
Betsy Frantz, Elizabeth Levering,
Elizabeth Lynes and Katherine
Tiernan. The grants are awarded
to finance these students for the
summer of 1960 while they work
on their honors projects.

The grant is for an eight week
period and the students are in no
way obligated to the Ford Foun-
dation.

Naney Beyer will do her paper
on “Isolationism in the Senate
from 1935-1989.” Betsy Frantz’s
paper, which involves field work,
will be on the “Political Impact
of Negro Migration into Phila-
delphia.” Betsy Levering will do
her paper on “The Crisis in So-
cialist Theory in England.” Eliza-
beth Lynes, whose paper is a study
of the Bryn Mawr Presby.terian
Church and its relation to other
churches in the city will also do
field work. Katherine Tiernan’s
paper will involve background
work in the Soviet theories on the
inevitability of the fall of capital-
ism and the United States’ theories
on the fall of Socialism. She will
then try to define peaceful coex-
istence in terms of this background
material.

A Talk With Yourself

Open-mindedness—this is perhaps the basis of all intel-
lectual striving that has any strength and validity. The
opinion deaf to argument and the supposedly “final” judg-
ment are fetters of reason more binding than ignorance and
more. difficult to strike off. Yet open-mindedness is more
than the preservation of a mental vacuum, for we are never

without feelings and attitudes concerning even those issues
_which we consciously consider undetermined and open to
argument. Open-mindedness is a state of evolution in ideas ;
it is a process, not a pause.

Anyone present at Yale’s Challenge colloquium last
weekend became intensely aware of the numberless aspects
of the problem of racial discrimination in the United States.
These often shade almost imperceptibly into one another,
often are directly contradictory while being at the same time
apparently valid. No one trying to suspend judgment and
maintain an open mind could discover a position he could
firmly feel was wholly satisfactory. He might find himself
in accord with two mutually exclusive standpoints or in deep
sympathy with a person whose views he himself rejected.
He might hear himself arguing against a position he had
defended two minute’ earlier.



the Yale publication Criterion quoted from Whitman, “Do I
contradict myself? © Very well then I contradict myself, (I
am large, I contain multitudes.)”

This mingling of views by Southerner and Northerner,
‘Negro and White, conservative and liberal, talker and doer,
in lectures and discussions and private converations, calmly
and hostilely and in between, did more than cause an extra-
ordinary broadening of perspectives. Perhaps equally as
important, it made those present at the colloquium look deep-
ly into their own feelings. All too often open-mindedness
disintegrated into a state of intellectual unselfconsciousness
as a result of the idea that the mind must at all times
be undetermined. The mind, in fact, is at no time entirely
without a stand, even if that stand is no more than an emo-
tional reaction wholly independent of rational direction.
With regard to these feelings little can be said about “right”
and “wrong”; a human emotion simply is, and cannot be
» eriticized in these terms. What is necessary is that a person
be aware of his own attitude even at that moment that he
consciously holds it. but tentatively.

Perhaps what made the Challengers seek into the nature
(or natures) of their attitudes toward discrimination was
the fact that the question was treated throughout from the
“what can be done?” angle. The integrationist can do any
‘number of things; he can picket stores, refuse to patronize
restricted establishments, join in sit-ins, contribute funds,
or voice support. At the colloquium one could not help but
doubt the sincerity and depth of feelings that balked at
action. We asked ourselves what we were prepared to do;
often we disappointed ourselves. After all, a couple of stu-
dents picketing Woolworth’s because the lunch counters in
its southern branches are segregated look pretty foolish,
and it is frightening to be exposed to the invective and abuse
of segregationalists by participating in sit-in strikes. But
the news that picketing of a Philadelphia Woolworth’s on
March 12 virtually emptied the store of customers makes the
sincere integrationist feel he can do much more than pro-
claim his viewpoint verbally. ©= = ~ 2 ne

Just what an integrationalist feels prepared to do in
support of his cause should not be a subject of praise or
blame; some would sit in who refuse to picket, others would
picket who would not date a person of another race. Many
are prepared to actively support integration who do_not
realize they are, because they have not examined their feel-
ings, because their open-mindedness has made them lax
through too much waiting. It is only fair to the cause of
abolishing racial discrimination, if it has any importance to
us, to look into our feelings and attitudes and get to know
them, whatever they are; to see where they contradict them-

selves, where they are strong, where limited; for if integra-

neory- COUN Er’

who are ready must join in the fight. By itself, integration
is no more than a word. Se ge

1To the Editor: ~~



Reason formed a double reaction
which stifled Northern Protestant
Baroque music, said (Mr. Lang in
his fifth lecture in the Plexner
series. He said that heroism of
the mind was a major character-
istic of the Enlightenment.

This trait was” epitomized in
England by the work of Handel.
As a result of trends in the period,

in which Satan is the main figure,
music had to become more drama-
tic and intense. Handel’s orator-
ios are independent of the church.
“They contain no Christian mes-
sage of any sort.” They are pa-
triotic works. Majesty was not
a religious trait in the Lutheran
period, but it became so in- Eng
land. (Handel’s music was drama.

This drama in music points out
the fact that religious music is
not always church music, The mu-
sic of this period did not serve the
community spirit as did the music
of Bach. But Bach was consider-
ed antiquated now. Spiritual
power resided outside the church.
The music of the church changed
proportionately. In the South
was found a pervasive, gentle,
sensuous melancholy. Everything
had to be beautiful, but dramatic.

Mr. Lang played a_ selection
from Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater
as an example. This music, as
well as that of Mozart, is honestly
religious ‘when one understands
the intent of the composer. Scar-
latti did his best in church music,
as did the others. Their best was
given to their religion. And now
there is no place for these works
in our churches, and there are no
conductors or musicians to per-
form them elsewhere. ‘Composers
gave their best to God during the
pre-Romantic period. —

The change to the Romantic
came from two causes: a biography
of Palestrina and a book -called
On the Purity of Music, which put
forth the criterion for the whole
Romantic period. The rule was
that church music must be devoid
of all human frailty, frailty shown
in the time of the Enlightenment.

Letters to the Editor

Interview Errata

To the Editor:

In my interview on the subject
of Mr. Shapiro’s recent essays I
must have expressed myself badly
at one point. In the list of dis-
tinguished poets whom Mr. Sha-
piro appreciates — let us say —
more than J do, the name of Rob-
ert Frost should not have been in-
cluded. Actually, Shapiro’s pass-
age in praise of Frost seemed to
me to be a sort of parenthesis,
having little to do with his main
argument, and I quite agreed with
him. It does not. necessarily fol-
low. that, if Mr. Shapiro admires
a poet. I do not, although I might
have made it sound like that.

Please let me say quite clearly |
that I know very well that Robert
‘Frost is one of the grand masters |
of our time. .
Sincerely yours,

eventually become identical with
communism.
‘Co-exist’ Mr, Meyer defined as
meaning simply to inhabit the
same planet.

The central aim of communism
is to bring the entire world under
its control, as soon as is practical
and by any means that will work.
(Never, even in internal doc-
trines, prepared for communist
consumption, has this centra] aim
been modified. It demands nothing
less than the conquest of the en-
tire world.

If the United States is geared
to the situation, a final nuclear
war isn’t necessary. We may be
able to restrict the communist
world. If we continue with our
present. policy, however, ‘we will
reach the point where either we
will have to surrender, or fight
under the worst possible terms,

The assumption that we can co-
exist has led to a steady retreat
of American democracy. Had we
realized that this was a desperate
fight, we would have come to the
aid of Hungary, and used every-
thing necessary to defeat Russia.

the podium, and began by explain-
ing that he had driven up with
some Harvard men and left his
suitcase, containing clothes and
notes for the debate, in their car.
He rambled on in a conversation-
al key, saying that one of the
Harvard men had warned him that
if Kennedy is elected not only the
Pope but also Khrushchev will
move into the White House. Be-
fore countering Meyer’s angument
Mr. Lowenstein acknowledged his
opponent’s rare. candor.

“What do you do when you are
confronted with tensions which
seem insoluble? Suicide?” It
is_a—solution,_..but doesn’t leave
much. No one wants war, there-
fore we must co-exist.

Coexistence doesn’t need to
mean constant retreat. We should
be militant exponents of democ-
racy, but within the framework of
coexistence. An aggressive war
isn’t the only alternative to So-
viet domination. In fact, in an
aggressive ‘war we ‘would be the
ones destroyed, and there would
be left not one Rome, but two
Carthages,

The easy solution of seeking an
out instantly is not available. We
need patience to improve our-
selves, to eventually evolve to
a democracy based on mass rule,
modified by justice and the inter-
ests of the minority. This may
have some elements of socialism
in it, but it also has those of free-
dom. ‘We can be tough and re-
fuse to retreat, by trying to-be

it means mutual destruction. The
real debate is to find a way within
coexistence to stand on our own
and not to worry about being de-
feet in regard to communism,
feated. [We can’t immediately
liberate people in chains in other
countries, but we can in our own,
and thereby show our sincerity.

Asked to define their concepts
of freedom, Mr. Lowenstein said it
was not the world remade in the
American image, but rather the
right of each people to choose
their own form of government
and life. Freedom means the op-
portunity for equality of rights
of all human beings, with protec-
tion from others who try to tram-
ple those rights.

(Mr. Meyer defined freedom in
a political sense, as the presence
of a society in which human beings
have at their disposal a course
against the government in power,
and in which certain principles of
natural law, natural right, are
guaranteed.

He stressed that the freedom
for which we should fight was no
“abstract ideal of equalitarianism,
humanitarianism, but rather free-
dom defined in terms of our own
tradition, the tradition of Amer-
ican and Western civilization.”

(Mr. Lowenstein then turned to
ask »Mr. Meyer a question direct-
ly. “According to what you main-
tain, we should wipe out the Rus-
sians if they’re weaker. How,
then, are we any better than
they ?”.

Mr. Meyer, as far as I could see,

did-not- really answer. the question.
Instead, he enumerated the immed-
iate policies which the United
States should pursue, He coun-
seled not withdrawal, but involve-
ment, pushing Russia back to her
previous boundaries. “Not only
should we not recognize Commun-
ist China, but I think. we should
withdraw recognition from com-
munist Russia.” ‘

At this last statement there
were cheers from tht. floor—the
climax of a continually vocal con-
servative reaction. ‘Generally, at
the colloquium, I was surprised
at the strength of the conservative
element, but at this point it be-
came absolutely frightening.

‘Harold Taylor, President ‘emeri-
tus’ “of “Sarah Lawrence College;
opened the colloquium with a talk
on “The Crisis in Liberal Democ-
racy.”

Just returned from a five-month
trip to Asia he was struck by
the aimlessness and confusion
which “characterize the ‘present
American scene. Our generals say
that we’re not capable of wiping
out the Russians,’ civilians say we
are, arid°the President stands un-
comfortably in between. There is
no bold talk on disarmament, and
we are unable to discuss the rights
of Negroes in our own Congress.

The President is now setting up
a committee on goals and object-
ives. “It’s about time,” ‘Mr. Tay-
lor’ quipped, “after’ seven years
without any. Seeing all this is
enough to make you turn around
and-go straight’ back to Paris,
where everything is so organized.”

Mr. Taylor went on to further
illustrations of a confusion close
to anarchy in the United States.
Van Doren :demonstrated that pub-
lic immorality was rewarded ‘by
the* system ‘as it was then: work-
ing.” “What can Van Doren do
now? Buy himself a dog and

Sometime last April: a: group of
Yale students sitting over cups of
coffee. in a restaurant&called “The
Original. George and Harry’s”: got
to. talking : about the-..gulf. that
seemed to separate their academic
life from that of the world: com-
munity; this weekend that group,
now the nucleus of a mammoth
campus movement called Challenge,
played host fo some 1600 students
at a colloquium geared to bridge
that gap. ‘Called the Challenge of
American Democracy the program,
the second of its type held by the
Yale group, .combined top-notch
speakers and student-seminars and
drew participants from points as
remote as Ann Arbor, Michigan
and Bryn Mawr, Pa.

In the months. between that
first over-coffee concern “to relate
what we were doing as students
to the world problems that press
down on us” and the final Chal-
lenge weekend, a loosely organiz-
ed, rapidly-changing group of
about 200 met informally almost
every night to discuss issues and
plan the colloquium; officers were
not elected, responsibility was as-
sumed but not delegated, and
membership was open to anybody
who happened to stumble into
George and Harry’s any night
around 11:45.

dations, and local businesses) and

organization were accomplished by
what seemed to one Challenge
member a process of “spontane-
ous generation.” Rejecting any
partisan’ approach, the group
sought to effect “concern rather
than committment” and‘to this end
chose speakers representing near-
ly polar political views.

A sprinkling of interest groups
(Humphrey-for-President, We are
for Chester Bowles, and The Non-
Subversive Affidavit Must Stay)
took advantage of the gathering
to attempt to proselytize, but the
colloquium was concerned éssen-
tially with basic values and ideals
rather than specific political is-
sues. In the seminars and key-
note addresses two main problems
stood out as fundamental chal-
lenges of \American democracy:
the need to recognize national
goals based on principles other
than the profit motive and the
need to achieve full integration
and equal rights for the Negro.

In the opening address of the
conference Dr, Harold Taylor,
President-emeritus of Sarah Law-
rence, condemned America today
as “weak and floundering” and
blamed its condition on the ascen-
dence of the “‘profit-motive” as a
value in: the formulation of goals;
on the following morning Senator
Barry Goldwater, a leading Re-
publican conservative, identified
“a strong, healthy, growing econ-
omic system” as the essential
American need and, to the delight



of a few rabid conservatives in the
audience, attributed contemporary
national “flabbiness” to the less-
ening of the profit-motive rather
than its ascendency.

On the question of integration
the only difference of opinion was
on means. A. Philip Randolph,
Vice-president of the AFL-CIO,
spoke on the need to eliminate
racial discrimination in union lo-
eals while om Sunday, Dr. Thur-
good Marshall, President of the
NAACP, urged individual action
on the part of Whites to pressure
and boycott groups practicing dis-
crimination.

The speakers were all very much
in evidence during the entire
weekend and available for ques-
tion or discussion on both group
and personal basis; their theses
were co-ordinated at appropriate
intervals «throughout the three
days by Edward P. Morgan, news
commentator for A.B.C., who con-
trasted and commented on their
views, punctuating his analyses
with quiet rhapsodies on the
Challenge program as “a real
demonstration of Democracy in
its better real form.” Morgan’s
sypmpathies are decidedly with
Taylor and he seconds his con-
demnation of the “profit-motive”
when taken as value rather than
an impetus.

‘Certainly one of the most suc-
cessful aspects of the Challenge
program was an NISA-sponsored

“We must have not a lowering
of the profit motive in our econ-

“We must maintain a growing
healthy economy to have peace,

together but not as one because
competition must be present in

BuBrul and Lowenstein Assault Segregation:

Fiery Discussion Deals with Alabama Sit-ins

by Susan Nelson

In an extremely provocative
discussion on Friday night Mr.
Paul BuBrul, Editorial Affairs Co-

ordinator of the National Students’ |

Association, considered the, segre-
gation issue with regard to the
situation in Montgomery, Alabama
with a varied and actively partici-
pating group. (Mr. Allard Lowen-
stein, lawyer and free lance social
thinker who has recently returned
from a trip to Africa collecting in-
formation to testify before the
U.N. also spoke.

In brief, the situation in Ala-
bama is this: Negro students
there, as all over the South, have
been staging sit-in strikes in
which they enter segregated res-
taurants and sit down, remaining
at all times quiet and orderly, and
stay there for long periods of
time in protest of the discrimina-
tion. A large group of students
participated im a sit-in in Mont-
gomery, and nine of them ‘were
expelled from the Alabama State
Teachers’ College (an all-Negro
school) by order of the Governor.
The president of the collegeen-
tered a plea that the students be
suspended but not expelled; this
was refused. :

In protest.of this, there was a
large student demonstration on
the college campus. City and state
police, armed with tear-gas and
sub-machine guns, surrounded the
campus and arrested thirty-seven
demonstrators. Nine of these
have been convicted for disorder-
ly conduct so far; supposedly the
rest will be so. changed and con-
victed also. es

In general, BuBrul said, white
college students have been in sym-
pathy with the sit-ins. White
high school students, on the other
hand, have been making things
very bitter for the sitters-in. They
stand behind their chairs, cursing
them and spitting on them, even
dropping lighted cigarettes down
their backs. The. sitters-in have

BuBrul drove home the point
that we in the North have not
been giving these students the
vital support they need. In Ala-
bama there is a state of siege.

tion.” People are sick and tired

Marshall Enters
Plea To Combat
Segregation Here

by Susan Nelson

In his address to the Challeng-
ers on Sunday afternoon Thurgood
Marshall, NAACP lawyer, combin-
ed a keen analysis of discrimina-
tion in the North with a powerful
suggestion for bettering it.

The predominant problem in the
North is that of discrimination in
housing. Segregation in private
housing is on the increase. “In
some northern places residential
segregation is worse than in any
city in the South.” But what
makes the situation in the North
really shocking is not this quan- ©
titative analysis. It is rather the ~-
fact that, while in the South inte-
grated housing is prohibited by
law, in the North segregated hous-
ing is prohibited by law. “We
don’t have laws in the North that
require you to bbe prejudiced.”
Segregation in schools is also a
grave difficulty.

Discrimination in employment
remains a problem. In the South,
certain ‘jobs are set aside for Neg-
roes. In the North, because of
laws prohibiting this kind of dis-
crimination, the difficulty is rath-
er one of advancement. The Negro
can rarely hope to be promoted to
the higher echelons in his field,
whatever his ability... Employers’
practices differ notably from their
stated policies regarding the equal
opportunity of their workers.

Discrimination im places of pub-
lic accommodation is a real prob-
lem in the North, primarily in
New England. Again, this is all
the more shocking because we're
theoretically integrated. But, Mar-
shall pointed out, the proprietors
of these segregated establishments
are less to blame than ther clien-
tele. This brought him to his ba-







Sic point,
These proprietors in the North
maintain segrégation chiefly
through fear of losing business.

Seeger Meets

Challenge; 4

Audience Hums and Taps

by Alison .Baker

It was a different form of
commentary which drew the big-
gest public — Pete Seeger and
Odetta, in a concert of. folksing-
ing. They sang together at the
beginning and end of the program
(unrehearsed, I believe) and di-
vided the remainder into quarters
of separate performances.

Seeger related his singing more
directly than might be expected
to the issues of the colloquium.
Ranging intrepidly from labor

‘unions to armament to quiz show

scandals to the integration strug-
gle, his own simple confidence and
easy-going humor in running com-
mentary succeeded in complement-
ing the pungent expression of the
songs themselves, which are often,
as Pete put it, “not polite enough
for the Hit Parade.”

He believes that his songs are
worth singing, and that they are
worth it im their original form,
not smoothed out for public con-
sumption. The same unpreten-
tious confidence has other facets.
He comments on the ills of the
world in the light of simple, liberal
and humanitarian ideals, and ap-
parently without qualms takes up
a recorder or recites a poem. This
simplicity and versatility is the
natural extension of folksinging.

Seeger retains the essence of
this music, which is that it is to

to convey not only the impression
that, he is enjoying himself, but
also.” the: enjoyment ‘itself. He
draws in the audience, teaches
them’ the chorus. of the songs,
compliments them on their ‘sing-
ing.

Odetta has a much more pro-
nounced style than does Seeger,
and as a result somewhat less va-
riety. Her singing voice is power-
ful, her speaking voice sunprising-
ly soft. Both are exceedingly
commanding. She hasn’t' the poise
and easy-going commentary of
Seeger, but communicates to the
audience most intensely in the
songs themselves.

The audience at the concert,
even when not officially partici-
pating, remained alert and hum-
ming through the whole evening.
A girl back of me, when Odetta
sang a song about three little pigs
that wanted to grunt instead of
going wee, wee, wee, joined in
most vociferously on the grunts.
Others snuffled a little on the side.
In other songs the audience sang
along, or, in more primitive partic-
ipation, thumped out. the beat
with their feet. If the imitative
is on the verge of the creative,
then perhaps mass media has not
entirely dulled the productive im-
agination of its public.

discussion of the ‘Southern situa-
tion regarding integration. (Stu-
dents from both the North and
South discussed practical steps
which can be taken by individuals
and .groups. to hasten .integration.
A plea by the NSA student chair-
man for Northern support of the

- Southern sit-ins, his exhortation

that “there should be a picket
around the Woolworth’s in every
college town” was received with
far more active interest, construc-
tive suggestions, and excitement
than any previous or subsequent
oratory by older and more polish-
ed speakers,

Student seminars, led by pro-
fessionals in the fields discussed,
examined further the issues rais-
ed. Labor, Mass Media, Social-
ism, Discrimination in the North,

’ and the Bill of Rights were prob-

ed in relation to challenges sug-
gested by the speakers. Set up
with the hope of “creating opin-
ions by talking rather than ab-
sorbing,” the seminars were some-
what too brief to accomplish this
end but did serve as an interest-
ing forum for exchange of opin-
ions.

Sunday afternoon a meeting of
representatives of schools wishing
to organize Challenge programs
revealed its wide appeal. Yale
representatives emphasized that
the weekend colloquium, though
the most expensive part of the
program, is its least essential as-
pect. More important is the tak-
ing advantage of faculty members

grams paralleling that of Bryn
Mawr’s Alliance were described
as ideal if the essential ingredi-
ent—individual interest—is pres-
ent. Nine colleges already have
programs they call Challenge,
others are taking them up. These
groups will not be as elaborate
as their Yale prototype but, said
one of the Challenge founders,
they can be equally effective. The
essential thing to remember is
that the problems must be kept in
student hands and that the ob-
jective must be to reach the in-
dividual. ‘The success of Chal-
lenge,” he noted, “is that it gives
an outlet for people to articulate
their anxieties—it’s an intermedi-
ate step between passive aware-
ness and demonstration , . . a col-
loquium of expensive speakers is.
not very essential—we are the ma-
jor resource of Challenge.”

lege’. ’

In the discussion that followed
a variety of views were aired and
‘a number: of -crucial questions
raised. One student: wondered if
sit-ins were ‘becoming a fad that
will die out when ‘things get too
rough. BuBrul considered this “a
superficial judgment.” There were
sit-ins as long ago as 1942. They
have given people a great deal of
encouragement,’ and if they don’t
continue in the form .of sit-ins
themselves they are at any rate
a part of a general movement of
protests. The specific ways in
which feeling against racial dis-
crimination is expressed are not
what is of importance.

The question was raised of
whether or not boycotts in the
North, staged in sympathy with
the crisis im the South, are of any
use. In BuBrul’s opinion picket
strikes in the North must be very
large if they are to make any real
impression. Still, if you picket a
chain store whose _ southern
branches are segregated and hit
it in the pocketbook where it’s
bound ‘to feel it, the management
may be impelled to take action
and establish a non-discriminatory
policy. (Moreover, northern boy-
cotts are good insofar as they are
something to do.

Another student charged that
BuBrul was ignoring the value of
“gradualism”, the movement of
many liberal Southern whites who
favor a program of slow, step-by-
step integration to take place
over a period of years. BuBrul
acknowledged that the gradual-
ists should indeed be given credit.
But we see so little real support-
ing action from them that gradu-
alism must fall under some degree
of censure too.

A student who described him-
self as a “liberal Southerner”
voiced his opinion that the prob-
lem is in many ways related to a
lack of education. Southerners
are prejudiced, but they are “sin-
cerely prejudiced” — they deeply
believe that the races are ranged
according to cultural and moral
superiority from black to yellow
to white.

There is, however, some basis
for this generalization. Because
of his backward past (again a
problem of lack of education), the
southern Negro is not yet ready
for integration, Of course this
presents, the Southerner conceded,
a vicious circle; the Negro is not
ready for integration so he must
be kept in a segregated environ-
ment in which there is no oppor-
tunity for emancipation from his
“backward past”. Where do you
break into \integration, then? He
felt that the churches could be of
help. But the cultural level of
the Negro in \the South must be
raised, for as of present there is
“some (practical, cultural distinc-
tion.”

Al Lowenstein (as the Challeng-
ers, because of his gentleness and
informal manner, came to think
of him) then gave a brief compar-
ison of the segregation situation
in Montgomery and in Nashville,
Tennessee, Things are far worse
in Montgomery. The atmosphere
there is one of terror. The phones
of all (Negro leaders are tapped.
Not. only do the police offer the
Negroes no protection—they are
actively hostile. :

In Nashville, although the po-
lice don’t do their part, at least
they don’t participate in the per-
secution. The community is more
enlightened and is integrated to
the fourth grade by now on a
gradual integration plan. The sit-
uation here is one of tension, but
not of terror.

Several times during the Chal-
lenge weekend I heard BuBrul

question in an emotional, sensa-
tional, overdramatic way. In this/
he was contrasted to Al Lowen-

{addition a clear-headed rational-

ity. This accusation is not with-
-out. validity- and when, after Fri-
day’s. discussion had broken up,
‘BuBrul was pressed to talk about
the broad philosophical bases
underlying his standpoint, I am
told. (I_wasn’t there). he was. some-
what at a loss.to amawer questions
‘such as: Do men have a right to
hate?

These issues were not neces-
sarily urged by segregationists,
but rather by students who were
suspicious of BuBrul’s emotion-
al involvement in the problem and
wanted to see if he understood the
full implications of his own state-
ments. The acuteness and curios-
ity of these Challengers: was re-
markable and they made their
point clearly.

Nonetheless: this writer, while
objectively more or less in agree-
ment with these critics of the
speaker, cannot help but be in
sympathy with the strength of
his feelings. He was indeed high-
ly impatient with the existing sit-
uation; but the situation more
than warrants it. He perhaps had
not fully examined the general
principles and theories involved;
but the impulse to action in this
very young ‘man and his relative
disregard for generalities seem in
many ways justified by the im-
mediacy of the situation. He spoke
of the problem in a dramatic man-
ner; but the problem, after all, is
a dramatic one.

ences. As a result, there arose a

and audience.

(Much has been said about pub-
lic apathy, and even more about
college students’ apathy in regard
to social and political problems.
Mr. Taylor proceeded to examine
the causes and cure for such an
apathy. This positive side of his
talk seemed’ to me rather under-
weighted in relation to the very
provocative and well put destruc-
tive analysis and dissection of the
evils of contemporary America.
The concept of opinion-making,
Mr. Taylor complained, has satur-
ated our culture. Actually no such
thing exists, and the public is
not as incapable as it is generally
thought.

The weakness in capitalist dem-
ocracy arises when greed for profit
overcomes concern for the social
good, when tthe material gain of
the individual is considered more
important than the good of the
human race.

The Asian intellectual sees in
the United States a money econ-
omy dominated by the profit mo-
tive, where production is for sale
rather than for use. He has an
honest fear of the corrupting in-
fluence of capitalist democracy,
since the doctrine of every man
for himself is liable to undermine
the sense of social purpose which
is so essential to. a new country.
Communists, on the other hand,
are dedicated to a social~ cause.
No other political party exercises
the same social energy in Asia.
Liberal democracy as it’s known
in the Western world has failed in
the East.

The problem of American dem-
ocracy is one of aims and values.
There is a desperate need for a
sense of purpose. What are our
aims? They are not world dom-
ination or power for our own ag-
grandizement, but rather to give
to every American citizen an
equal opportunity, to give to every
American child an education suit-
ed to his abilities, and to share
our wealth, knowledge and friend-
ship with other nations.

We have the means to achieve
this, Mr. Taylor insisted, but only
these means were, or how they
might achieve the ends in ques-
tion. Mr. Taylor's talk was cer-



tainly a very exciting introduc-

very lively interplay of speaker}:

inconvenience this presents cann
be urged as an objeotion® if victiOn about the injustice of seg-
regation has any depth and. sin-
cerity at all,

The South has gambled i.
the North would either join them
in segregation or oppose them but
lack the stick-to-it-iveness to see
the battle through. It is winning
on this chance.

“In the North (segregation) is
by custom; in the South it’s by
law.” (Since it is a question of
custom here, it rests in our power
to show our dissatisfaction with
the custom; we can change it.

(Marshall’s speech leaves little
to be said.. It drew a standing
ovation from a huge crowd such
as no other speaker at the col-
loquium received, and the sight
of him almost irritatedly waving
the crowd to sit down only brought
more to their feet. But the reac-

a sign of sympathy with the equse

it was a gesture of thanks that it

ment shares its profits with. the
employees rather than the public.
But it is the American people who
have the most important stake in
the outcome of these conflicts.
“More legislation is not the
answer, It would lead to a feder-
ally-controlled free enterprise sys-
tem, namely socialism which none

of us wants. I think two things
are necessary to make union and
management more responsible to
the country. First, unions must
be local, including only a single
plant or geographic unit. A na-
tional union gives one man too
much power, for instance Hoffa.”
In answer to the question “Should
General Motors be made local,”
Goldwater said that a large cor-
poration like G.M. had limited
power because it is vulnerable to
competition from other business-
es. Secondly, the Senator empha-
sized, there must be prohibition
on all activities of unions except
collective bargaining. Political
activities specifically should be
outlawed to both organized labor
and business. it is the right and
duty of both to lobby for legisla-
tion but neither has the right to
turn itself into a political fund.
Politics must never become pol-
arized between labor and manage-
ment, when it is possible to buy
senators and representatives. It
is destructive to the democratic:
process for a man to belong to a
union, be forced to pay his dues
and then have them spent on a
political candidate he is not nec-



it is wrong for business to spend
the shareholders’ money for a par-“
ticular party or candidate. In
answer to the question “Who then
shall pay for political campaigns?”
Senator Goldwater said that peo-
ple must contribute individually
for the poitical party they favor.
This leaves the politician inde-
pendent of the control of any one
powerful group.

Blessed with a deep res-
onant voice (a wonderful contrast
to Shylock’s shrill whine) and a
natural grace, Mr. Lehner could

The parts of Lorenzo and Jess-
ica present, in some ways, the
most difficult acting problems.
‘They are easily overshadow-
ed by the more sensational drama
surrounding them, and the ro-
mance of their situation has to be
communicated in a very few lines.

Unfortunately this pair had other
difficulties to contend with. The
“popping in” effect of Jessica’s
(Mickie Webb) first three stair-
way entrances was the only in-
stance of the set’s hindering in-
stead of helping the action, and
her first lines were marred by
Launcelot’s pitiful but too audible
sniffing. Jessica's subdued quiet-

lost part of its beauty by the un-
fortumate blocking which forced
him to deliver his lines out of al-
most complete darkness.

Mr, Butman’s decision to pre-
sent Shylock as the villain was a
wise choice for an ensemble pro-
duction, There were moments
when Peter Garrett achieved a real
power, and the hysterical exulta-
tion over the news of Antonio’s
ill luck was just right. We wish-
ed that Shylock could have been,
occasionally, a quiet and sinister
villain, and we missed any sense
of the variety which would have
enabled him to make the most of
his climactic moments.

The tendency to act on a single
level, without fluctuation of tone
or pace was a fault which. seemed
to afflict almost all the actors in
the first section, and which pre-
vented the early formation of any
flowing dramatic line. But flex-



ibility is something which comes

and the other participants. I would
like especially to thank the four
freshmen who so honorably repre-
‘sented Bryn Mawr. These fresh-
men had warying debate experi-
ence, some never debating at all
before and others with only’ high
school experience. They are to be
commended for both their spunk



and performance—Ginny Copen, |}

Susan Gumpert, Mary Lou Lea-
vitt, and Miranda Marvin are their
names. |

At this time I have not yet heard
the results of the tourmament, but
regardless of our standing I feel
the girls have gained knowledge
and taken part with good spirit
and great friendliness toward ev-
eryone. It is my hope that in this
analytical age we would all be able
to ferret out fallacies, present
clear and defensible positions for
an issue and enjoy doing it through
the challenge of debate.

(My thanks again for a group at

can sponsor such undertakings
