Dr. Michels Receives Editorship,
To Head Nationwide Publication

Professor Walter C. Michels of Bryn Mawr College has been ap-
pointed editor of the American Journal of Physics, the official pub-
lication of the American Association of Physics Teachers.

Announcement was made Saturday, March 29, by Dr. Clarence J.

Overbeck of the Department. of
Physics of Northwestern Univer-
sity, President of the Association,

who said that Dr. Michels would |,

assume the editorship starting

Winner of Nobel Award for Physics
Lectures on Properties of Tansistors

Armed with a supply of rather
intriguing demonstration appara-
tus, Dr. Walter H. Brittain, 1946

winner of the Nobel Prize in
physics, illustrated last night for
the Science Club some of the es-
sential properties of both semi-
conducting materials and transis-
tors.

All solids, he explained, are
classified on the basis of their
ability to conduct electricity.
Those which are neither very good
conductors mor insulators are
termed semi-conductors and ex-
hibit peculiar’ characteristics—
some of which were noted by
Faraday before the beginning of
the twentieth century. ”

The most striking of these early
known properties is the sensitiv-
ity of the semi-conductor to light
and heat while the good conductor

is completely unaffected by the

former and somewhat devitalized
by the latter, the semi-conductor
is revivified by both. |

The early part of the twentieth
century brought the discovery of,

the subsequent conclusion that the
carriers of the electric current are
negative electrons, Physicists were

somewhat disconcerted to find a
short time later that the sign of
the current carriers in the semi-
conductor might also be positive!
An explanation for this strange
behavior on the part of the semi-
conductor eluded physicists until
several years later when progress
was made in Quantum mechanics.

“As a-result of much pre-war
work on the understanding of
these semi-conductors”; comment-
ed Dr. Brittain, “understanding of
them approached a point where it
was almost impossible for physi-
cists not to wake up, I happened
to be with the group that did.” It
was the work done on this “awak-
ening” that eared Dr. Brittain
the Nobel Prize.

Using a minature amplifier and
barely-audible-ring-causing - oscil-
lator, an FM radior and transmit-
ter plus microphone, a small radio
powered by sunlight, and a rigged-
up_honograph with an Octangle

this year there is a promise that
they will be judged on Taylor
steps. From there everyone should
proceed to Merion Green for the
Sophomore Carnival, where—hbe-
sides the customary fire engine
rides—such money-making enter-
prizes as polaroid picture-taking,
miniature golf, sponge throwing, re-
freshments, and an auction of pro-
fessors’ clothing will be featured.

Connected with the Carnival is a
water-ballet, “La Swim Fantas-
tique,” to be given by the syn-
chronized class in the gym at 3:30.
Numbers will range from the “Red
Shoes Ballet” to “Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs” and “The Three
Little Kittens.” All routines aré
aquagraphed by the students, under
the direction of Miss Janet Yeager,
physical education instructor. If
enough interest is shown a base-
ball game will be played at 4:00.

Saturday night at 9:00 the big
dance will be held at Swarthmore.
Plans have been made to have Les

Lesson in Unified Effort

If success or failure is measured by attendance, the
Alliance. conference last weekend was a disappointment.
Scarcely eighty people, including two faculty members, at-
attended the morning session, and the afternoon panels had
a much sparser audience. This turnout followed a year of
work by the Alliance board and the expenditure of something
like eight hundred dollars.

Excuses can, of course, be made: bad weekend, bad
weather and so forth. But the experience is an object lesson
of the first order. It is no longer sane to assume that specifi-
cally Alliance projects—or those of A.A., Interfaith, what-
have-you—appeal to anything like the whole campus. These
groups, although ipso facto membership belies it, are special-
ized interest groups; accordingly, they will have to gauge
their activities to the interest they command.

This does not mean that large-scale projects such as
conferences have to be abandoned. It does mean that proj-
ects that hope to have an all-college appeal will of necessity
have to be be planned around a topic of general interest and
sponsored by not one but a number of organizations working
The machinery for this co-ordination of ef-
fort does not now exist, and here’s where re-evaluation comes
in. It seems that what is needed is a central governing body,
composed of the heads of important organizations—the Big
Six, Arts Council and perhaps College Theatre and Chorus.
Such a group already exists aseCo-ordinating Council, but it
is without power; it makes no significant decisions, engages
in no joint activities, is, in fact, a discussion group. A central
council must be empowered to make decisions for the college.
if activities that are all-college in a real sense are to be plan-
ned.

One further point: instead of involving academicians in
cloudy theory, the Alliance conference utilized men who were
practically involved in a vital and immediate problem. The
result was an important difference of opinion, flavored by



the involvement of the participants.

We hope 1) that the

practical nature of the topic kept no students away. and 2)
that future conferences will keep this precedent in mind.



Mrs. Marshall:

“Our counseling’ system is an
inseparable part of our whole edu-
cational philosophy,” said Acting
President Dorothy N. Marshall in
an interview with the News. Bryn

Mawr’s academic system, she ex-
plained, requires not only an avid
interest in learning, but a tremen-
dous indpendence and intellectual
initiative. “There are no people
hovering around to help you get
started.”

College policy takes the | same
position toward the non-academic
side, Mrs. Marshall indicated. Bryn
Mawr has complete student govern-
ment and a residential system as
free from regulation as possible.
The Admissions committee tries to.
select the kind of student who has
the maturity to profit by these
arrangements. “If we’re doing a
good job in selecting, students and
students are wise in their choice of
colleges, the system should work.
Most people get along well on an
independent basis and that’s what
they want.” |

Mrs. Marshall inhaled that,
of possible counseling systems, the
one now in operation at Bryn

On Counseling

wardens are close to the students
in age, and they are themselves
sharing in the academic life.

The counseling system starts
with the wardens, the most-of-the-

time Dean said, and the adminis-
tration “shoots for the competent
people.” This college officer should
be one in whom the students have
confidence as a person of good
judgment, integrity and approach-
ability. The administration keeps
in touch with the graduate school
here and with those of other col-
leges, and, rather than advertising,
likes to be able to invite particular
graduate students to be wardens.

Mrs. Marshall suggested that col-
lege policy was opposed to having
“trained” guidance counsellers in
the dorms, but some wardens have
had guidance training. In the same
vein, Mrs. Marshall remarked that
she felt a “personal counsellor” in
conjunction with the Dean’s office
would have a function very little
different from those of the Dean’s

themselves and of the wardens.
The college attempts to provide
the services of skilled persons to
deal with situations in which more
special help is needed: psychia-
trists, the vocational office, doctors,
and the specialists in testing, study





On The Theory and Practice of Teaching

Interview With Mr. Peter Bachrach

Question: I’m interested in asking
you how you want to affect students
and then, how you go about doing
it—that is, your object in teaching
political science, or even teaching
at all, and what method you use
to implement this object.

Mr. Bachrach: I think what we
are trying to do, or at least my.
chief object in teaching, is to train
or inculcate in the student a sense
of committment and scepticism:
committment to the réalization that,
there are problems in social science
that are of.utmost importance to
him and to the community, and
committment to solutions to these
problems, Yet he must have a deep
sense of scepticism as to the truth
of his answers.

Question How, do you inclucate
committment in the students?

Mr. Bachrach: Primarily by chal-
lenging beliefs that they have al-
ways assumed to be true; by ex-
ploring the political and social im-
plication of the ideas, their con-
sistency or lack of consistency with
other values strongly held. Once
the challenge is accepted it is not
difficult to involve the student in
the subject matter and to prod him
further in investigation. Of course,
the trouble is that certitude is so
tempting that the sudent often ex-
changes his old ideas for the new
ones of the teacher or writer that
he has recently been exposed to. So
the process must go on. The stu-
dent is not really committed until
he sees the difficulty, intricacy, and
subtlety of the problem. Then we
can get to work.

Question: What does getting to
work entail?

Mr. Bachrach: All I mean is that,
once the student is involved in the
problem, an investigation, analysis
and evaluation of conflicting in-
formation and ideas within a the-
oretical framework becomes mean-
ingful to the student. In social sci-
ence, however, we are not only
interested in finding out what exists
in society, but also what values,
ideals and institutions ought to
exist. But I don’t want to get into
this. What I want to emphasize
here is the importance of intellec-



tual involvment. If the student is

Professor of Political Science.

not involved all else is lost. This
perhaps is a truism; but I’m con-
vinced that it is too readily over-
looked. We spend too much time
worrying about what subjects ought
to be required, about “exposing stu-
dents to important areas of knowl-
edge” with too little concern as to
whether the exposure is taking.
And by “taking” I don’t mean the
ability to repeat on paper what
has been said, but rather the inte-
gration of the material in the
thought process.

Question: Does this mean that you
are against all requirements?

Dr. Bachrach: I suppose this fol-
lows from what I have said, but
what I have tried to emphasize is
what I consider to be the fallacious
assumption that if students are
exposed to certain bodies of in-
formation they will actually absorb
and digest this information or ap-
proach to a subject. I have the
feeling that many students not only
don’t absorb material offered but
on the contrary become more and
more uninterested in the intellec-
tual process. To me it matters little
whether the person studies chemis-
try, archaeology, history or even
political science..The crucial point
is whether or not the subject be-
comes intellectually © significant.
Does he attempt to grasp the em-
pirical world with some depth of



Student Criticizes Faculty-Student Link

To the Editor:

The teacher and the student at
Bryn Mawr should be ashamed of
their relationship. It is wanting.
A freshman entering this college
is usmally overwhelmed by the im-
personality and laissez-faire atti-
tude which the faculty seems to
have for the student, She seldom
sees the professor outside the
classroom, other than in a “paper”
conference, or the traditional cof-
fee hours, which few professors
attend. And, it is generally the
recently-arrived professors who
make it a point of suggesting,
“(Come to my office if you have a
problem.” When the student does
meet a professor in his office, she
usually returns to her friends smil-
ing and exclaims, “Why, he’s a real
person—I never would ‘have be-
lieved it.”

Although a popular national
magazine has accredited Bryn
Mawr with being the ~ ” wom-
en’s college in the country, this is
no. reason that we who attend it
should consider ourselves better
than our friends who attend Smith
or Goucher. Our minds need just
as much guidance as theirs, I am
increasingly surprised at the num-
ber of students on this campus
who do not really know why or
what they are doing here—or even
how to go about finding out. One
ean hardly find the answer from





life in general. At such meetings,
small problems are discussed and
often solved before they grow and
the student may seem so disturbed
that someone in authority suggests
the psychiatrist. Isn’t the use of
the psychiatrist an escape of the
issue? Isn’t he taking the place
of someone more important and
more necessary to modern youth?

At Brym Mawr most of the so-
cial life is in the hands of the stu-
dents—Self-Gov., Undergrad, etc.
—and the majority enter these
activities with willingmess and
ability. There are many traditions
that we must uphold—Lantern
Night, May Day, Freshman Week-
end which bring the whole col-
lege together—to name a few, and
we do not dislike carrying on these
traditions, but some of us are sur-
prised at the resentment of some
and the indifference of others of
the faculty concerning these ac-
tivities. I am not speaking of all
the faculty but I am speaking of
the general lack of alliance be-
tween the student body and the
faculty.

It is hardly selfishness which
causes us to seek advice from pro-
fessors, but we are in college for
four years, and these four years
are perhaps the most important
years we will know. We are going
from young people to young adults
and we are attempting to train
our minds so that we will be assets

to society, to our country, and to

analysis within a meaningful frame-
work? And is he attempting to re-
late his specialized study with re-
lated fields of knowledge?

Question: How does this principle
which you are talking about apply

|to your field of political science?

Mr. Bachrach: In political science
we can take one of two approaches.
The first is to attempt to cover the

that the student is not well trained
unless he has been exposed to all
major aspects of the subject. I
reject this approach because it is
not our business on the under-
graduate level “to cover the
ground.” If the student becomes
properly motivated and analytically
trained he can cover the ground
himself and during his own time.
The second approach—and this is
our job as I see it—is to grapple
with problems which we consider to
be significant in hopes that the
student will see the relationship of
the problem in a vital way to him-
self and the world in which he
lives, that he will therefore be
eager to undergo the difficult task
of analyzing conflicting factual in-
terpretations, values and philoso-
phies in search of an answer.
Question: Do you succeed in ac-
complishing your objective?

Mr. Bachrach: With the exception
of the honors’ work—which, by the
may, is the most satisfying under-
graduate teaching—no, At the risk
of inconsistency, I would be in
favor of a compulsory requirement
that all seniors must do a unit of
senior research, But honors aside, I
would say the most of the time I
don’t accomplish what I’m after.
Of course the teacher can ration-
alize by saying that he is doing
a good job since some of the stu-
dents catch fire. But what about
the great number who don’t? This
bothers me. The frustrating thing
about teaching is that one can’t
see his own golf stroke nor can his
partner give him tips as to what
he is doing wrong. Consequently,
he keeps on making the same mis-
takes year after year. I suppose
that the best he can hope for is that
some of the enthusiasm that he has
for his subject will rub off on some
of the students.

Question: What general changes

nd-in-the field-on the theory~

do you think ought to be made to °

accomplish what you have in mind?
Mr. Bachrach: I, like anyone else,
could name many, but I would say
that our worst fault in higher edu-

eation—and this certanily applies ©

to Bryn Mawr—is our unwilling-
ness to experiment, to change. Like

other institutions, whther it be the .

church, the trade union, or the
governmental bureaucracy, there
are vested interests that are wed-
ded to the status quo. It is not sur-
prising that educational institutions
are not an exception to the rule.
Question: How does institutional
change come about?
Mr. Bachrach: Usually institution-
al change is the product of pres-
sures from so-called impersonal
forces. But this does not mean that
man is impotent to-influence either
the direction or rate of change.
Question: More specifically, what
ought to be done here and how at
Bryn Mawr?
Mr. Bachrach: Generally I would
suggest two things: First, recognize
—or I should say question the pos-
sibility—that we are tradition-
bound, I confess that a tradition
per se is not necessarily bad, but
it also follows that it is not neces-
sarily good. I would like to see us
experimental-prone. Second, there
should be more discussion among
all groups within the college com-
munity as to what we are trying
to do and how we can best do it.
I think that the College News could
make a valuable contribution to-
ward Bac me by continuing

Conference Stimulates Interest in Labor-Management Strife

Waldman, Alliance Conference Speaker, Maintains
The Goals of Government and Unions Run Parallel

: “Goals of organized labor and
American policy run parallel and
side by side.” This statement was
made by Mr. Louis Waldman,
speaking at the Alliance confer-

_ ence _last_ Saturday -morning-on-the|

‘topic, “Are the Goals of Organized
Labor Compatible with Economic
Stability?” Mr. Waldman is a labor
attorney in New York City,

Mr. Waldman stressed the need
for a strong rather than a stable
economy; he argued that “economic
stability can only be achieved where
a power directs and controls all
economic activities of a nation,’
and only in Nazi Germany, Fascist
Italy, and Communist Russia was
and is such control possible. In
contrast, a strong economy, he
argued, is a growing, dynamic econ-
omy concerned with the economic
well-being of society in which it
functions; it must also be a “hu-
mane, just economy.” Reasonable
stability, according to Mr. Wald-
man, should be the last factor to
be considered.

Labor Goals

The goals of organized labor
were placed_under two main head-
ings—present and future—by Mr.
Waldman. The immediate goals
which he enumerated were (1) in-
creasing wages, (2) decreasing
hours of employment, and (8)

tions of employment. He _ stressed
that the leaders are “working for
eternity” when they get an im-
provement in a contract since, once
in contract, it will never be re-
moved,

The long-term goal of the unions,
according to Mr. Waldman is to
“build and maintain a good society”
with everyone getting “a greater
share of the fruits of*our civiliza-
tion.” He said that “labor has its
goals and goats,” but “its goals
are inspiring.”

Legislation Discussed

The National Labor Relations
Act of 1947 and the Employment
_ Act of 1946 are evidence, he main-

tained, that the goals of the gov-
ernment and unions “run parallel,”
containing, as they do, certain prin-
ciples, e.g., that the depression of
wages acts against prosperity, that
the right of collective bargaining
must be upheld by courts, that the
raising of the purchasing power of
the people of the United States is
an important goal and that full em-

portant objective of the govern-
ment, That these laws were made
‘not by union, but by nation” was
stressed by Mr. Waldman.

The means the unions use to
gain their goals are strike, boycott,

of the last—promotion of the

Mr. Waldman concluded that
while the “labor goals mean some-

economy but with a strong econ-

The Alliance Conference Evaluated

The Alliance for Political Affairs on Saturday, April 11, presented

the annual spring conference. The

the problems presented to our economy, The two morning speakers,
Herbert Northrup, employee relations consultant for General Electric,

and Louis Waldman, a New York

“Are the Goals of Organized Labor Compatible with Econ-
omic Stability?” leaving the discussion of specific aspects—Right-to-
Work Laws and Organizational Picketing—to the panels of the after-

question :

‘What was the value of the conference?
In spite of its several disappoint-
ments, the answer in regard to the worth of the conference is yes.

In a conference with a topic of this sort, it is probably impossible
to resolve the questions raised either publicly or privately in one’s
own mind. However, such a conference can provide much intellectual,
even emotional nourishment, and can. supply facts and viewpoints on
which later we may base definitive opinions. This is consistent with
the goals of Alliance to stimulate student interest in the politics, poli-
cies and current problems that affect the lives of all of us. I believe
that the conference was able in this way to touch the minds of those

it was, the participation in the form of well-chosen questions evinced
a fascinating degree of controversy, which only whetted our appetite.

L. B. Philip, Noted Scholar, Uncovers
‘True’ Meaning of Painting by Bosch

In an illustrated lecture Tuesday
evening on “Bosch’s Peddler: a
Study in Detection,” Dr. Lotte
Brand Philip explained what she
believes to be the real meaning of
the early- sixteenth century octa-
gonal Flemish painting that has
generally been thought to repre-
sent the prodigal son. Although the
picture does include a _ beggarly
looking man, a broken-down inn,
swine, and a cow (presumably the
fatted calf of the parable), Dr.
Philip feels that this explanation is
unsatisfactory; for there are too
many elements in this representa-
tion which bear no relation to the
Biblical story.

SHe pointed out that there are
many Saturnian features in Bosch’s
painting as well as indications of
melancholia, a humor frequently
associated with children of Saturn.

_-._=Jy-Italian and German prints of

‘the same period a limping peddler
is often pictured in eonjunction
with the planet god Saturn.

‘An observation of these two sym-

bolic layers, the Saturnian elements
and the melancholic, is only the be-
ginning of an understanding of this
painting. The full meaning is seen
only by placing it in its original
context.

_ By a careful comparison of this
and other works and copies of
Bosch, Dr. Philip has deduced that
the so-called prodigal son is really
one of four round, allegorical paint-
ings from the back of a triptych.
Each represented the unmasking of
an ill-famed profession. Of the four
the peddler alone remains.

The figure is seen leaving the
brothel at the left, where he has
peddled his over-priced wares and
acted as a procurer. The gallows on
the hill at the right indicates “the
ultimate — of this hated
character.”

“moralizing, didactic image” be-
longs illustrated the theme of avar-
ice, and was one of a series of
seven triptychs, each of which de-
picted one of the seven deadly sins.

As the second speaker in the
morning half of Alliance’s Confer-
ence on Labor, Mr. Herbert Nor-
throp, Employee Relations Coun-
selor for General Electric and for-
mer Professor at Cornel] and Col-.
umbia, presented -management’s
viewpoint on the question, “Are
the goals of organized labor com-
patible with economic stability?”
Mr. Northrop, speaking second,
had the advantage of beimg able
to meet and comment on the points
made by Mr. Louis Waldman, la-
bor’s representative.

Mr. Northrop started off by say-
ing that he agreed with his oppon-
ent on only one point, This is the
two men’s opposition to any sta-
bilization of economy. Mr. Nor-
throp said that this pressure for
stabilization had been one of his
major problems in dealing with
labor unions, The unions, in an
effort to ensure security for the
members, attempt to stabilize con-
ditions at General Electric to ‘the
point of stagnation.

He then stressed the fact that
the only reason a company is in
business is to make a profit. Fair
pay increases are fine and should
be met, but the moment the union
demands an excessive amount, the
company has every right to close
rather than lose money. The union
must realize that excessive de-
mands are detrimental to the work-
er, im the long run, for he may
lose his job. 2

(Mr. Northrop thus feels that
the goals of organized labor are
not compatible with economic sta-

bility. True stability can be
achieved only through the control
of all industries in the hands of
a central authority. The United
States is a democracy, and as such



that sense, However, the condi-
tions of labor are such that the
only future prospect is a growing
inflation.

Mr. Northrop sees automation
as the only way out. Unlike many
economists who anticipate increas-
ing unemployment as a result of
automation, Mr. Northrop predicts
that the increased number of ma-
chines will demand more people to
eare for and maintain them, as
well as others to design them. The
change will be in the type of em-
ployment, not in the number of
the employed.

Thus, according to Mr. Northrop,
the only way in which we can ar-
rive at the “never-never land” of
the future with more jobs and more
pay is through automation and in-
creased production, The cause for
our present recession is simply
that we are not automating fast
enough to keep employment at
the same level, This, however,
can easily be remedied in the fu-
ture by speeding up the change
to automation.

The frontiers of industry are
not closed, Mr. Northrop conclud-
ed. But it is only through auto-
mation that we will be able to
compete with foreign markets and
check inflation. Otherwise, we
have nothing to look forward to
but mounting inflation.

“The Libation Bearers”, com-
plete with plaster Apollo and a
pair of new and rather tempera-
mental red portals, was received
with at least moderate enthusiasm
at. its appearance in the Yale
drama festival. An article in the
“Yale Review” spoke of our per-
formance as a “gallant effort”,
pointing out that the preceding
“Mpamemnon” would have provid-
ed the lacking character-build-up.

This was the third annual Fes-
tival of Undergraduate Drama at
Yale. Besides showing a cross-
section of undergraduate theater
in the East, it also aimed to pro-
mote a general exchange of ideas
and criticism. In a bare three
days, there was a close-packed
schedule of eight plays, many of
them condensed to fit their time
limit, and two parties, as well as
whatever rehearsal could be fit-
ted in,

Tuesday evening’s program con-
sisted of two original plays: Yale’s
“Five Days” and Swarthmore’s
“The Room”. I didn’t arrive at
the festival until the next day, but
from reports, the audience found
the Yale performance the most
successful of the evening, although
their script was not outstanding.
Swarthmore, on the other hand,
seems to have created an atmos-
phere of boredom on both sides of
the curtain. Smith, which made the
third contribution to the evening’s
entertainment, presented an adap-
tation of Salinger’s short story,
“Uncle Wiggly in Connecticut”.
Apparently they didn’t do enough
with it to derive much benefit from
the dramatization..

THE COLLEGE NEWS

Dr. Bischoff Brid

\
s Two Departments

In Inter-relating of French,Latin Poetry

Speaking on the Latin setting
of early French poetry, Professor
Bernhard Bischoff, of the Univer-
sity of Munich, currently at Prince-
ton’s Institute for Advanced, Stud-
ies, announced his wish “to build
a bridge from department to de-
partment.” His lecture carried
out this aim through comparison
of Latin and French poetry of the
llth century.

Hymn Adaption

The adaption of the Latin Am-
brosian hymn forms to French
verse probably came about through
the influence of Fulbert of Char-
tres, the foremost teacher of his
time. Fulbert was evidently re-
vered by his students both as a
poet and as a teacher, judging
from the unusually large number
of manuscript copies of his poems
which have been preserved.

Examples of close interchange
between Latin and French poetry
range from haigeographical mar-
ratives to fabliaux. One such
saint’s life is the “Life of Saint
Alexius”, a Syrian legend which
spread throughout Europe in this
century and was one of the few
poems able to survive the transi-
tion between pre-Romanesque and
Romanesque literature. In _ this
case, the French poem imitates a
Latin verse form, but a contem-
porary Latin poem on the same
subject is clearly based on the
French original, Professor Bischoff
thinks that the Latin version may
have been written by a German
student to make the poem avail-
able to his compatriots.

Ethical Tendencies

Even the fabliaux have ethical
tendencies. Professor Bischoff il-
lustrated his remarks by reading
passages from several of these
comic-moral works. “The Priest
and the Wolf”, one such example,
tells the drily humorous story of
a man who dug a pit for a wolf,
caught ‘one, and then fell in him-
self. He escaped death only be-
cause the wolf got out of the pit
by leaping on his shoulders. The
moral purpose here emerges as the
Priest comes to realize that he has
been neglecting his flock.

_ All these texts show their scho-



African ‘Hunters’
Preserved in Film

“The Hunters,” a film about a
primitive African tribe, was shown
Thursday and Friday, April 9 and
10 in the Common Room. This
documentary, sponsored by the an-
thropology department, was made
by the Peabody Museum as part of
its attempt to preserve primitive
cultures on film. :

The tribe portrayed is a South
African tribe of the Kalahari des-
ert region, west of the Bushmen.
These people live under very primi-
tive conditions, moving with the
seasons in their search for food,
game and water holes. Their diet
consists of roots dug out of the
ground with sticks, berries, and
any meat the men may kill.

The movie showed a 13-day hunt
of four men looking for meat for
a hungry band. The warriors wear
breach cloths under stomachs swol-
len by malnutrition. To kill animals
they use hand-fashioned bows and
wooden arrows tipped with a poi-
son made from beetles and roots.

The hunters killed porcupines,
then wounded kudu, an African
antelope, with a poisoned arrow.
_ After three days of trailing they
found the kudu devoured by hyenas



lastic origin in their vocabulary,
imitation of the classics, and use
of rhetorical technique. In some,
such as “The Priest and the Wolf”,
one can sense the contempt of the
educated author for the rustic.

evidence to the important exchange
that went on between French and
Latin culture in the eleventh cen-

and dislikes.

Barnard’s “Princess Ida”, which
followed, seemed more congenial
to the audience, and it was indeed
a very gay and rollicking perform-
ance, The piano overture sound-
ed rather as though it were being
read for the first time, but then
perhaps the light was bad. The
scraps to which their time limit
had forced them to reduce the oper-
etta were very ingeniously linked
by a narrator, and although, as in
most Gilbert and Sullivan done by
amateurs, the performance tended
to lag and lack precision, it was
generally quite spirited.

Mount Holyoke kept spirits
soaring with “The Tragedy of
Tragedies”, a satire on all trage-
dies, by Fielding. It is an abso-
lute mass of references and flow-
ing speech, much of which, from
the balcony at least, was lost by
blurred diction. However, there
‘was some very imaginative use of
gesture, and on the whole this was
a very entertaining and quite am-
bitious performance. Among the
Bryn Mawr contingent, the play
was murmured to be just the thing
for some future May Day perform-
ance.

Following the evening’s pro-
gram, there was a party, later de-
scribed at length in the “Yale
News”, even to the recipe of its
near-lethal punch, It was held in
a rather dusty rehearsal room,
camouflaged by a lurid assortment

by a sign on the blackboard. All

drastically depleted audience was
on hand the next morning for the
two remaining plays.

Here again, since I left early to
return to Bryn Mawr, I will have
to rely on report rather than ob-
servation, but apparently Skid-
more did a good. job on a delight-
ful play, in producing Ionesco’s
“The Chairs”. The festival was
brought. to a close by a less satis-
factory performance — Wheaton’s

Henri Gheon.

Opera Company Presents a Workshop
And Performance of American Operas °

by Alison Baker and Lois Potter

The After Dinner Opera Com-
pany, one of the liveliest of the
groups endeavoring to give opera
in America a much-needed shot-
in-the-drm, visited the Bryn Mawr
campus Wednesday, April 8, pre-
senting a noon workshop on con-
temporary opera and, in the eve-
ning, three short one-act operas.

Mr, Richard Flusser, director of
the company, opened the workshop
with a short discussion of the or-
igins of opera and its development
in the twentieth century.

Porgy and Bess at its world pre-
miere marked the real birth of
American opera. Its success, prov-
ing that the subject matter of an
opera could be realistic and its lib-
retto English, made possible the
whole string of operas which have
developed in America since the
1980's.

‘Defining an American opera, Mr.
Flusser claimed, is almost as diffi-
cult as defining an American, Gen-
erally, in American opera, the lib-
retto and subject matter are drawn
from American sources, and mus-



ically too, the operas use Ameri-
can ideas, such as jazz, folk-music,
and the turmoil of contemporary
music which has developed since
ithe last war.

The remaining part of the work-
shop was devoted to two examples
of contemporary opera, performed
by the company without props,
costumes or sets, The first was
an excerpt from Theodore Chand-
ler’s “The Pot of Fat”. It is “a
mystical opera, gets off the
ground’, and concerns a bass-bari-
tone cat and a soprano mouse who
fall in love, This eventually turns
out unfortunately, for the mouse.

The second example was from a
British opera, “Three’s Company”,
by Anthony Hopkins.

The scene performed by this
company mingled most delightful-
ly the paraphernalia of office rush
and decorum with the lyricism of
opera, even using the tapping of a
typewriter to musical (and comic)
advantage,

The three operas performed in
the evening, while of less musical



interest than the ones given in the:

workshop, displayed the remark-
able versatility of the three-singer
company and must have gone a
long way towards convincing recal-
citrant souls in: the audience that
opera can. 'be fun.

Offenbach’s “66” was perhaps
less suited to the talents of the
company than their other two se-
lections because the rather slight
plot and feeble dialogue of the old-
er work threw most of the empha-
sis on the music, and the singers’
voices were not always able to do
it justice, Their acting, however,
was excellent and brought out the
old-fashioned jollity of the piece.

“Sweet Betsy from Pike”, by.
Mark Bucci, relied essentially on
the title song for its melody, but
produced delightful and sometimes
amusing effects of harmony
against this background.

The company’s last and most
ambitious offering, “Apollo and
Persephone”, by Gerald Cockshott,
was charming musically as well as
dramatically, containing not only
attractive original numbers. but
