A Preview: Of ‘Trojan Women’ Indicates
This Play Will Be Challenge To Actors

By Judy Mellow

Pencilled on the margin of my
notes, I find the comment “Trojan
Women a great play, not a good
one.” The first reference considers
its tragic effect, and the second, if
it is valid at all, considers its dra-
matic construction.

The Trojan Women deals with
one of the stories treated fre-
quently in Greek literature, that of
the destruction of Troy by the
Greeks. Because these incidents
are but a small part of a longer
story in which such things as age-
old cyrses and the favor of the gods
figure prominently, this play, like
most Greek tragedies, begins in
medias res, and covers in its en-
tirety what plays of another pe-
riod might cover in the final act.

The opening conversation , be-
tween the two divinities, Poseidon
and Athene, sets the action for the
play. Troy is ruined;.-that is be-
yond question. The only thing un-
certain is what tragedy will come
next.

Hecuba, who has already seen
her husband Priam slain by the al-
tar of Apollo, is the central figure.
The ensuing action is the discovery
of grief upon grief, slaughters, one
followirig another, and Hecuba’s
wailing, echoed by the chorus who
are lamenting their own grief for
their husbands and sons. They are
awaiting the news of what is to
happen to them, for the only thing

comparable in its tragic implica-}

tions to the deaths .of their loved



ones is the death of Troy, and their
removal from it. Civic pride as we
know it, is probably some poor
remnant of the almost religious
loyalty and love of country which
was customary to the ancient
Greeks.

As disaster is added to disaster
for Hecuba, the individual griefs
of the chorus become léss and less
important, and eventually all sor-
row is merged. Hécuba becomes
the symbol of all suffering and al-
most of Troy itself.

The play derives its power from
two factors, which prevent it from
becoming a mere accumulation of
misfortune: the tragic effect is in-

tensified as the disasters increase, |

and more important, the suffering
has not been all for nought. The
Trojans have learned through their
suffering, and they are the better
for it. The despair and longing for
death at the first of the play give
way to an understanding that, as
Hecuba says, “No life, no light is
any kind of death.” When they fi-
nally go to the Grecian ships, the
Trojan women are not led or fore-

‘ed or dragged. They go, not be-

cause they hope for the future, nor
because they are resigned to a life
of despair, but because they have
become strong enough to accept

| whatever is to come, and any kind

of life is.better than death. They

‘have learned that pomp and glory
‘are not important; symbolically,

Hecuba ‘no longer: mourns as a
queen, but as ‘a- person.

Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy Being Greeted on Arrival by Pres-
ident-Elect of Alliance, Charlotte Graves.



C. Graves Reveals
Policies For ‘56-'57

Charlotte’ Graves, newly-electea
president of the Alliance, plans a
year of Alliance activities “con-
centrating on the domestic polit-
ical scene.” A focal point during
her term of office will of course be
the fall elections. A student mock
presidential election will definitely
be held about a week before the

‘!actual November elections. Plans’

for a mock nominating convention
to be held in the spring are also
being considered.

Charlotte, who terms herself an
“avowed Democrat with strong



reservations,” or, if you prefer, an
“independent Democrat,” would
like to see all students on campus
registered as Democrat, Republic-
‘an or Independent, in order to “get
‘a generti perspective” on the elec;
tion program for the coming year.
| A fall conference on.a subject
‘such as “The ‘Changing America,”
treating the United States from
political, sociological and economic
viewpoints, is under consideration.

ance conferences, which have been
held during the past two years, but
feels that there should be a great-
er attempt made for student par-
ticipation and discussion in them.

Aiming fer a balance between
the “general” and “specific” roles,
of the Alliance, for the campus as,
a whole and for those particularly.
interested in politics,
hopes to combine both “name” and
lesser known speakers. She is also!
hopeful of setting. up. acoopera+
dents participating in discussions
with off-campus speakers.

Tours of Philadelphia will be
continued, and Charlotte also wish-
‘es to establish more contact with
the city through publicizing local
‘political conferences which Bryn
Mawr students might attend. ~

League To Seek
Campus. Interest

By Anna Kisselgoff

Anita Kaplan, the League’s new
president, is an “old-timer” from
way back. The Denbigh junior has
been on the League Board since
heryfreshman year, and was League
vice-president last -year.

Shé is, therefore, quite familiar
with the organization she now
heads. Although Anita feels she
‘cannot definitely state League’s
program for next year until her
fellow officers’ are elected, she does
promise the continuation of previ-
ously successful projects.

The speakers’ program will be
continued, as well as “work which
has been done in the development
and integration of new commit-
tes”. Anita was referring to a
new. system which was instituted
this year “‘whereby individuals be-
gan work in a new field and report-
ed to the Board as to whethep’ or
not they felt this activity would be
valuable to more members of the



‘Charlotte is in favor of the Alli-

Charlotte!



campus.” One of these activities

‘was the volunteer work at the Bryn
‘Mawr Hospital. ;

Anita will strive to make the
campus more aware of the Lea-
gue’s activities. She also advo-
cates a change in the hall rep. sys-
‘tem, whereby more students would
be encouraged to nominate them-
selves. Anita feels that more stu-
dents would come forth if they
could nominate themselves in pri-
vate.

Hetzel Hopes AA
Can “Interest

Steffie etzel, newly - elected
president of the Athletic Associa-
tion, feels that it is essentially an
all - campus organization. “AA
should provide recreation for the
whole campus”, said Steffie. “Not
only should there be sports for
those interested. in athletics, but
also. other activities for those who
aren’t.”

Steffle has no “radical reforms”
to suggest since she feels that
Betsy Dugdale, the present presi-
dent, did an excellent job of or-
ganization. She does advocate,
however, improvements along sev-
eral lines. :

Speaks Here on Congressional Investigation

Robert F. Kennedy, Chief Coun-
sel of the Permanent Senate Sub-
committee on Investigations, dis-
cusséd the practical problems of
the investigating committee. He
also raised, and. countered, criti-
cisms of the system in an Alliance
Assembly last Monday.

The justification of the entire in-
system comes from
Section I Article I of the Consti-
tution, which gives Congress the
right to legislate. This right, Mr.
Kennedy explained, naturally im-
plies the right to carry on investi-
gations necessary to legislation
and has, through time, carried with
it, the right to call witnesses and
subpoena documents.

The committee under which Mr.
Kennedy serves has seven Senators
and 20 staff members. They oper-
ate for the most part on the com- |
plaints people send in. The com-
mittee receives between 60 and 70
of these a week, several anony-
mous, and.examines each one, ex-
cept those sent by the obvious-
ly mentally disturbed.

Of the many criticisms raised,
the strongest was one which claims
that the. committee, through un-
fair questioning, brings irrepara-
ble harm to the character of the
witness.





This is, Mr. Kennedy admitted,
often true. He feels, however, that
no change in rules will completely
solve the problem. The only rem-
edy is to get better personnel. This
problem can be met by the voters
when they pick their Senators.

The rule change enacted in the
committee on which Kennedy
works, to provide that more than
one member be present at the

S. Grant To Seek
Interest For Chapel

By Helen Sagmaster

Sandra Grant, newly-elected
head of Chapel Committee, is mak-
ing plans to encourage campus in-
terest in the work and programs
of the committee.

Sandy, a sophomore in Rhoads
Hall, finds many students, espe-
cially freshmen, unwilling ‘to par-
ticipate in the activities of Chapel
Committee, feeling that this work
is the business of the elected hall
representatives only.

Sandy would like to see interest-
ed students volunteer for certain
responsibilities, such as ading
groups to visit churches of special
interest in this area. She believes

}that anyone should feel free to at-

tend meetings, and, although one
apper-class..h.al] representative
should still be elected, she is par-
ticularly interested in the ideas of
the freshmen.

In addition, Sandy is planning to
submit to the student body a ques-
tionnaire to discover what is want-
ed from Chapel Committee.
Because her pre-election visits
to all the halls showed a great in-
terest in-discussion groups, Sandy
is considering holding a series of
discussions of a religious aspect,
although not necessarily about re-
ligion itself. These might be led
by faculty members, and could be
held in the halls.

The committee is also planning .
a program of weekday speakers on
comparative religion. Eve Pollak ©



‘will be in charge of this activity.

Improvement

Within a few days 'the entire series of college elections
wilt be over. For the average student this period has passed
less painfully than ever before. There were fewer inconven-
ient class meetings, no almost meaningless nominating com-
mittee reports to listen to. The elimination of these reports
has also made things much simpler for those in charge of
the elections.

We do not feel that the simplifications have fostered any
‘laxity on the part of the student in either nominating or vot-
ing for candidates. On the contrary, the new election system
has proved itself far more satisfactory than the old one. On
trial for the first time it has worked as well as, or even better
than could honestly be expected. Nevertheless, there are a
few weak spots which should receive some special considera-
tion before next year.

The nominating of the candidates for Undergrad and
Self-Gov was done entirely by straw ballots from the junior
class. No suggestions of any kind were made from the re-
spective organizations. The Undergrad candidates made
statements in the News but only the activities for the Self-
Gov nominees were listed. It does not seem that the Self-
Government Association is such.a stagnant organization that
the president’s personal views would have no effect on its

_ operation and thus those running for this office should be
given an opportunity to express themselves.

The News articles written by the candidates themselves
are a most acceptable substitute for the nominating commit-
tee reports. If the statements have failed to communicate
all that they potentially could it is because the questions ask-
ed are vague and general. Two alternatives may be proposed:
to ask more pertinent questions or to give a candidate free
reign to judge for herself what is important and what is not.
It is our opinion that the latter would be far more revealing.

-. ‘The other method used to introduce the potential officers
to the student body is through dinners at the halls. In theory
this is an excellent idea. If it has in part failed in practice it
is the fault of, not.the system, but the students themselves
who have not také# full advantage of the opportunity.

The statemént has been made that no matter how the
candidates for any given office are nominated they are going
to be the same. ‘Phere are only a certain numbegof girls
qualified for each particular office. This is at least partly
true, especially in our college elections when so many quali-
fied girls decline nomination. The suggestions from each
organization presented to the junior class have become, in ef-
fect, nominations. There is only one difference—suggestions
cannot be declined. This causes an unfair apportionment of
preliminary votes since many are distributed between girls

_who will not even consider running. We feel that if these









nominations are going to be called suggestions it-should-be-+

possible to decline a suggestion, and that along with
nominations from the floor should be encouraged.
"The idea has been advanced that a second siciaia ta
Undergrad should be elected by the college for the express
purpose of being chairman of the Curriculum Committee. She
would then be a voting member of the Undergrad Board. In
view of the more sc ag tion which this committee
ould like to support this pro-

in which the other members c the committee are chosen.

by Carol Hansen

About two weeks ago the Gallup
Poll Institute of Princeton, N.J.,
released the results of an intensive
survey of the feelings towards in-
tegration in the South. By. inter-
rogating systematically through-
out the 13 Southern states a group
of reporters headed by. John M.
Fenton attempted to find the an-
swers to three questions:

“1) The U.S. Supreme Court has
ruled that racial segregation in the
public schools is illegal. This
means that all children, no matter
what their race, must be allowed
to go to the same schools. Do you
approve or disapprove of this deci-
sion?

“2) The Interstate Commerce
Commissior has ruled that racial
segregation on trains, buses and in
public waiting rooms must end. Do
you approve or disapprove of the
ruling?

“3) Do you think the day will
come in the South when whites and
Negroes will be going to the same
‘schools, eating in the same restau-
rants, and generally sharing the
same public accommodations?”

All of these questions were ask-
ed of groups of Southern whites
and Southern Negroes, and a sur-
vey of the first two was also con-
ducted in the North.

Eighty percent of the Southern
whites did not approve of the Su-
preme Court decision; a slightly
lower number disapproved of the
L.C.C.’s ruling. In the North these
figures were just about reversed.
An interesting, and not unex-
pected, finding was that the degree
of opposition to both rulings is di-
rectly proportional to the Negro
population ofthe state. In the so-
called “border states” where the
white to Negro ratio is high, many
more people approved than in the
“deep South,” where the Negroes
form more than one-third of the
population and the resentment is
intense.

The reason most frequently cit-
ed by the Southern white in de-
fense of his stand is that there is
something inherently wrong in
mixing the two races. God just did
not mean it to be so. Others are

Ciilup Poll Reveals Segregation Problem
Related To White-Negro Population Ratios

advocates of, the “separate but
equal” or the “give us time” doc-
trines. The few Southerners who
support integration do so because
“it is the democratic thing to do.”

On the other hand, the Southern
Negro wants an integrated educa-
tional system by a three-to-two ra-
tio. About 53 percent approve oi
the Supreme Court \decision; the
rest disapprove or are undecided.
All of the Southern Negroes want
the best for their race and their
children and those who approve do
so for this idealistic reason. The
remaining have succumbed to
practicality: they fear the trouble
that “mixing in” will bring, espe-
cially for their children. They
have already had several tastes of
it.

With the I.C.C. ruling it is a dif-

ferent story. Here there is no fear
for the children and 82 percént of
the Negro population is willing to
stand up for their rights. Age and
education are important factors,
the younger and educated more
anxious for integration, while the
older people would rather have
conditions as they are.
. In spite of their personal feel-
ings 55 percent of the Southern
whites and 70 percent of thé Ne-
groes fee] that. integration will
come eventually. The Negroes are
most hopeful; for the whites it is
a hard realization. In the deep
South many are determined to pre-
vent it at all costs, bar nothing.
Mixed in with their natural dislike
of integration is a resentment of
the Southerners against the North.
“Integration is a bitter pill they
feel they will be forced to swallow
because of ‘outside interests’ and
a North that doesn’t really under-
stand their problems.”

Jrs. At Haverford
Win Silver Bowl

By Epsey Cooke

Haverford’s annual Class Night
shows, given Friday night in Rob-
erts Hall, while not up to perform-
ances seen in past years, still pro-
vided many laughs for the audi-
ence. The junior class was award-
ed a silver bowl, which wae bei
given for the first timé@ this year,
for the best show. Jolin Hawkins
won the Best Acto? Award for his
performance in thé senior show.

In the opinion of this reviewer,
the fenior show, The Desperate
Heures, deserved the award more
than the juniors’ ’m a Man —
Spelled W-I-D-S-I-D. Not only
was John Hawkins outstanding as
one of the “desperate hers” who
had escaped from the state pen
and ended up in a Haverford room
(after 2 a.m.), but also the other
members of the cast were quite
good, and the set was excellent.

John Hawkins stole the show
with his clever lines and coy, minc-
ing ways. His performance in the
modern dance sequence was good.

John Pfaltz and Sandy Whelan
were the two roommates who,
though stunned to find two gun-
toting females in their room,
shortly began to enjoy the situa-
tion. John Thomas was most
amusing as the second “her,” who
was slightly lacking in gray mat-
ter.

Shining light of the junior pro-
duction was Binny Haviland, im-
peccably dressed in black tie, plaid
bathrobe and bowler hat, which
costume was completed by the con-
tinual presence of a Chianti bottle,
which was the cause of Binny’s
red nose. As “Omar Papa (Khay-
am), King of the Gaza Strip,”
Binny gave a very convincing and
amusing performance.

W-I-D-S-I-D, played by Neil
Plass, who. was in search of some-
thing about which the audience
was still in doubt at the end of the
show, gave a convincing perform-
ance. Jim Moody’s Prometheus, on
the other hand, was a bit overdone
and unconvincing.

The junior show was a more
complicated and ambitious one
than the senior production, but
there were slow spots which tend-
ed to ruin the continuity of the
show. Scenery was at a bare mini-
mum, and the forest dance se-
quence was quite well integrated
with the plot. The lovely, rather
vague, philosophical search of
W-I-D-S-I-D and all who accom-
panied him, fell a little flat, how-
ever.

The sophomore show, The Min-
ute Maid, or Wrong’s The Only
Right Way to Live, was the poor-
est of the four productions. The
two hanging scenes were quite ef-
fective, with the violet lighting
and the waiters singing and bang-
ing the table with their cups.

Eric Harrison, who played the
part of the dietician, in kilt, red
bloomers and red mop wig, was
hilarious, especially when he had
difficulty hitting the high notes in
his song, “I Used To Be A Prim
and Proper Miss.” The rest of the
cast was only adequate, and the
dialogue was rather uninspired.

On the other hand, the freshman
production, Mammon and the Art-
ists, or Oh, Henry, was of a higher

‘freshman show. It opened with a
clever welcome song, “Up In A
Mountain So High,” sung by J.
Katowitz, who also played the bar-
tender.

Barclay Kuhn was an excellent

street cleaner, with his cryptic re-
marks, and his ‘rubbish can appro-
priately marked “Milorganite.” .
Also outstanding ‘was Mick Ko-
back, as the slightly down-at-heel
gentleman of the theatre, who
made a stirring speech on the mer-
its of wine. .
Paul Miller, the innocent young
thing in by wee Bermudas and yel-
low knee ‘socks, gave a very con-
vineing performance.

ndergrads, Professors View Student-Faculty Relationships



Betsy Nelson Studies, Criticizes
Students’ Relationship To Faculty

By Betsy Nelson

One of the reasons most fre-
quently given by students for their
choice of Bryn Mawr is that, as a
small college with a remarkable
faculty-student ratio, it offers a
close, individual contact with the
professors which cannot help but
be rewarding. At the same time,
one of the complaints most often
voiced by students, especially
freshmen and sophomores is that
there is very little individual con-
tact with professors and what con-
tact there is is often not as reward-
ing as they had expected.

Being a small college, Bryn
Mawr is certainly equipped tomeet
the demand for this close. contact;
yet there is an element on campus
strong enough to discourage the
utilization of this opportunity. It
seems to me that this element,
though many-sided is basicaliy the
immature approach of the student
to.the problem. —

Too often the student shifts the
‘ responsibility for the lack of valu-

\__—_ able relations onto the professor.

Ng is somehow expected to divine

er questiéns and invite her in to

answer them. This, obviously, can-

shot be. Although there is, per-

haps, less encouragement on the

professor’s part than would be de-

sirable, the student must take the
first step.

‘obstacles to the student’s taking of

this first step. First of all, there
is a high-school attitude of resent-
ment against the “apple-polisher”

which is held over in the college
'student-body, and which is apt to
‘discourage the hesitant freshman
‘whose basic interest when she ar-

rives is becoming a part of the col-
lege community. It is easy for
the freshman, coming from an at-
mosphere where this resentment
is predominant, to accept it as nat-
ural and unthinkingly promote
this negative approach to profes-
sor-student relations. - If students
expect faculty-student relations to
improve, they must first adopt a
positive attitude which encourages
the hesitant student to get to know
professors.

Another dbistatls is the feeling
that professors are not interested
in the ideas or questions of stu-
dents and that they do not encour-
age. the student to approach them
on any: level other than the for-
mal classroom contact. This is only
partly a just criticism; for who
can expect a professor to be inter-

ideas? It is again up to the stu-

to the professor only to accept this
step as sincere desire to know his
ideas and then to encourage the

Professor E. V. Schneider Emphasizes

Student-Faculty Rel

By Eugene V. Schneider

Faculty-student relations are an
important aspect of the education-
al process and I for one welcome
student concern with this area of
their college life, However, there
are several areas of faculty-stu-
dent relations, not all equally im-
portant, and it is necessary to dis-
tinguish sharply between them.

It seems to me that least impor-
tant to the educational process are
“social relations” between faculty
and students. By “social relations”
I mean teas, coffee sessions, dinner
engagements and even faculty
shows. Most of these are pleasant
enough, but what contributions
they make to education I fail to
see. I wonder if they even con-
tribute much to mutual under-
standing between students and
faculty. If my experience is typ-
ical, these social occasions are
pretty formal and conversation is
somewhat constrained.

A much more important sphere
of student-faculty relationships is
the private conference between
student and professor. In the pri-
vate conference student and teach-
er can really get to know each
other; they can thresh out prob-
lems, dig into the subject matter,
and exchange views and opinions.
That the conference system is ef-
fective can be seen from the fact

————--that-most-upper-class students do"

get to know at least some of their
professors in this way.

I think that the high level of
honors papers, and the unprece-
dented number of students who go
on to graduate work, are the out-
come, in good part, of this confer-
ence system. But, of course, the
conference method suffers from
one inherent disadvantage: limita-
tion of the professor’s time and
energy. The professor must con-
' fine his conference time largely to
honor students, graduate students
and seniors; conferences with

the students think about the advis-
ability of a tutorial system in the
freshman and sophomore years.

The most important sphere of
student-faculty relations, it seems
to me, is ‘and must be in the class
room. In the course of an ordin-
ary one unit course, students and
faculty spend upwards of 80 hours
together in the class room. Fur-
thermore, the class room has the
unique advantage of providing a
social situation in which, at least
theoretically, the exchange of
ideas should be heightened and the
process of learning quickened.
Here, if anywhere, is the place for
concern with student-faculty rela-
tionships.

What should be the nature of
student-faculty relations in the
class room? { can only speak for
myself and from my own expezi-
ence. But let me say that what
is important in the classroom is
the development of an atmosphere
which favors (1) a serious atti-
tude toward the subject matter of
the course,. (2) intellectual chal-
lenge of, and if. necessary, dissent
from established authority, (3)
complete intellectual ‘freedom for
student .and teacher.

This situation can develop only
when students and faculty have

opinions, when students and fac-
ulty evince a healthy though
friendly skepticism of each other’s
ideas and of their own ideas, when
students defer to their teachers
as sources of knowledge and not
as dispensers of grades.

What I have defined as “healthy”
student-faculty relations in the
class room are not dependent on
any one method of teaching. Neith-
er the discussion method nor the
lecture method is by itself a guar-
antee of the development of prop-

In any discussion of education
at Bryn Mawr, one of the topics
‘most often ‘raised (and often
complained about) is student-
faculty relations. The News has
asked four people, two professors
and two students, to comment
on the present situation and sug-
gest either improvements, or a
maintenance of the status/quo.



Intellectual, Not Social Relationships

Should Be Bettered,

By Marcia Case

The problem of student-faculty
relationships at Bryn Mawr is not

rooted in a lack of student respect
for the faculty. In fact, it has
been suggested that.. the. students





Bachrach Cites Mutual Respect,
Willingness To Exchange Ideas

by Peter Bachrach

Mutual respect, willingness to
engage in cooperative research,
and an exchange of ideas on prob-
lems and subjects that are consid-
ered significant by both student
and instructor, is the stuff of
which sound faculty-student rela-

tionships must be built.

Such a relationship is difficult to
achieve, for it requires much from
both teacher and student. Mutual
respect precludes: viewing the
teacher as God and the student as
Child. Of course the scholar must
be given his.due, but not to the
point’ of freezing alert and,imag-
inative young minds...The unques-
tioning, notetaking attitude of
many Bryn Mawr students is, I be-
lieve, partially a product of the so-
cial mores that view women as in-
tellectually passive but pleasant.
This passé notion persists as a
basic challenge that must be met
by both instructor and student.

A student can do much to over-
come her feeling of intellectual
inferiority by asserting her indi-

instead: of suppressing them for
fear that they will be thought
naive. This implies a shift in em-

tion to. an increasing respect for
the intellectual process.

If I am correct’ invplacing the
emphasis upon the process of re-
search and learning, e. g., how to
think within a given field—then it
is the responsibility of the instruct-
or to make the exploration of the
subject matter a joint affair. For
example, a lecture should not be
designed to impart information,
but rather to demonstrate the pro-
cess of analyzing and evaluating
data and ideas—a process which
the students can utilize and must
be given the opportunity to do so.

The whole educational process
becomes meaningless unless stu-
dents believe that the subject un-
der investigation is significant. In-
tellectual interests, I am persuad-
eo g at least fifth in the hier-

rehy of interests among many
students, The opulence of America
brings too many to college, both

importance and relevance to life.

Social: relations between faculty
and students are and ought to be
an incidental aspect of college life.
Informal discussion between fac-
ulty members and students can be
a highly exciting and rewarding
experience for both, but I can’t say
the same for chitchat over a cup

the faculty are jealous of their
time for their own research and in-
terests,

Panel Discusses
US-China Policy

“The avowed U. S. policy. to-
wards Communist .China is one
of containing that country with
concommittant strengthening _ of
Asia ‘through economic aid, trade
and military support. Two other
alternatives, i. e., annihilation of
China through the unleashing of
Chiang and a long-range plan of
establishing a friendly regime are
obviously out of the realm of the
possible and ‘have ben discounted,”
asserted Helen-Louise Simpson,
leader in a discusion of “Our For-
eign Policy and China,” at the first
meeting of the Alliance-sponsored
discussion group.

In formulating this policy, there
has been much feeling in the U.S.
for. and against recognition of
Communist China. Those against
the proposal see in it a-negative
effect~on overseas Chinese and
Formosan morale, an undermining
of the legal status of Formosa, a
loss of face; those for recognition
cite the realistic “facing of facts”,
increased prestige with our allies,
its bargaining value and the possi-
bility of weaning China from Rus-
sia.

The moderator saw the possibil-
ity of a split between Communist
China and Russia if the latter’s
power is diminished, if a patroniz-
ing attitude is assumed (Yugosla-|;
via was cited), if Mao’s successor



Soviet-oriented or less competent,
or if the West can offer more and
an improved record in free Asia.
In conclusion, Helen-Louise ap-
proved of a continued policy of
containment in Formosa and co-
existence, but with a gradual move-
ment towards recognition. -
The Alliance group, headed by
Martha Bridge and Joan Shige-
kawa, hopes to establish itself as a

pression, using topics of general
current interest suggested by stu-|
dents. Suggestions are encouraged

have an unhealthy respect for the
faculty, a situation that could be
somewhat alleviated if the two
groups became better acquainted.

But a number of differing atti-
tudes, desires and problems are of-

ten mixed in the cry for better
student-faculty relationships, and
they should be sorted and exam-
ined. Suggested improvements
could probably be roughly. divided
into two groups: the need for
greater intellectual exchange, and
the need for better social relation-
ships. I feel that the first sugges-

the second is not.

Alt some colleges very informal
relations doubtless work well. But
it is unlikely and unnecessary to
wish that Bryn Mawr faculty
members will begin dropping into
the halls and inviting the students
out for beer. Aside from the fact
that the Bryn Mawr faculty prob-
ably has no desire to partake in
such affairs, I cannot feel that
they would ever be successful at a
woman’s college. The “man-to-
man” relationships of Haverford
are not applicable here; the fact
that students often don’t want
man-to-man relations but would be
perfectly willing for man-to-wom-
an, or father-to-daughter relations,
should justifiably make the faculty
squeamish. I don’t feel that the
faculty should become the target
for students’ personal problems or
complexes, and yet this feeling is
probably responsible for some of
the claims made in favor of a more
informal relationship.

However, it is true that the stu-
dents feel they are missing many
of the intellectual advantages that
they thought would exist in a
small college with a high faculty-
student ratio. Students who have
questions which they are reluctant
to interrupt a class.to ask, and are
also too shy and unpresuming to
drop in on a professor in his office
to seek the answer, are limited to
a hurried period after class in
which to pose the problem. Or a
student who would he interested
in discussing with a faculty mem-
ber a subject that doesn’t partic-
ularly pertain to a course she is
taking, misses the opportunity to
gain a first-hand and stimulating
viewpoint. Students in so-called
“discussion” classes do find a vig-
orous faculty-student exchange of
ideas; students doing honors work
also are able to communicate with
a faculty member on a matter of
common interest. But students in
lecture courses often find that the
only criticism they obtain from
their professor is a few comments
on an exam or a paper. In cases
of this kind it would not seem to
make much difference whether the
class had 30 students or 300.

Perhaps one answer to greater
intellectual exchange would be
more freque .y faculty-student
panel discussions? Students might
also check to see that they are tak-

Goodhart, Mar. 7.—In his fifth
lecture, “The Duties and Rewards
of the Laboring Poor,” Jacob Vin-
er made an important qualification
to his theory that British social
thought, from 1660-1776 defended

'the status quo. In examining the

doctrines concerning the plight of
the poor, Mr. Viner found this to
be the only clear instance in his
period where difference in doctrine
did not-result in difference ‘of so-
sial policy.

The attitudes toward the labor-
‘ng poor then ranged from scorn
.o compassion. In spite of this ex-
treme range in feeling, the state
of the poor was generally bad. Low

| wages and bad working cohditions

were common. These conditions
were encouraged by the doctrine
of mercantilism, which was thriv-
ing on the employment of a large
working population subject -tolow
wages and long hours.

Both moral and economic argu-
ments were put forth to support
low wages. The English worker
would squander his earnings if
they were high. The rich were
protecting the worker’s morals by
depriving him of money. An abun-
dant poor were needed to serve the
needs of the rich. On economic
grounds, increases in luxury
spending by the poor would in-
crease imports and thereby bring
about an unfavorable balance of
trade. On the other hand, the va-
lidity of the “low wages” doctrines
were questioned by many, includ-
ing Hume,’ who stated that the
happiness of the poor was impor-
tant, and Adam Smith, who denied
that. high wages lessened the in-
dustry of the poor. With the de-
cline of mercantilism, came an in-

creased sympathy for the poor.

In the matter of education, the
greater part of the period saw few
oroposals that the state assume
zeneral responsibility for school-

Duties, Rewards Of The Laboring Poor

ing. In the 18th century, the An-
glican ‘Church promoted charity
schools for the education of the
children of the poor. These were
supported by voluntary. subscrip-
tion and offered a low standard of
teaching, instruction of religious
principles and “humility.” Those
who saw security-in-the illiteracy
of the poor, opposed the charity
schools. Arguments were made
that the poor-should not be edu-
cated and encouraged to rise above
their class, when they were need-
ed in their present station in life.

The church, in order to gain sup-
port for the schools, maintained
that the drabness of the schools
and their instruction prepared ‘the
children for the treatment they
were to receive later in their nec-
essarily..subordinated and hum-
ble state before the rich. Still oth-
ers argued that knowledge was
common property and.should be
available to all. Adam Smith was
one of the first to propose a tax-
supported system of education.

The poor law system was a dis-
tinctive English feature which pro-
vided assistance to the aged and
sick, the unemployed, vagrants and
beggars. Although local admin-
istration of this public. assistance
program was questionable, and
care was taken that the tax burden
not be heavy, this system and-the
acceptance of the land-owning
classes to pay the necessary taxes
was a feature rarely found in oth-
er countries. The system was re-
garded as a deterrent to idleness
and vagrancy.

In the interest of Bryn Mawr’s
social life, this year’s dance com-
mittee has taken upon itself a re-
organization and enlargement of
function. Judy Harris, head of the
committee, explains that it is a
“shame to waste” the enthusiasm
and interest which the whole com-
mittee has shown. As a result, sev-
eral new projects are under way,
one of them being an analysis of
the success of all campus mixers,
in the hope that more will be
scheduled next year. The commit-
tee feels that it should undertake
responsibility for hall mixers, in
addition to the major weekends of
the year, Undergrad. and Freshman

More encouragement should be
given to participation in varsity

of inter-hall and inter-class games.
“The halls should first be asked if
